EU super-regulator sets up shop
Has nice cup of coffee, chat
The EU's telecoms super-regulator started work today, with the first item for debate being where to build a Hall of Justice.
Europe's latest regulatory body had its first meeting today - bringing together representatives of the 27 national telecommunications regulators, and tasking them with the problem of deciding where they'd like to be based.
The regulators had, of course, met before - they used to meet quite regularly as members of the "European Regulators Group", which has been replaced by BEREC, the "Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications". The European Regulators had to be replaced, apparently because it worked "on the basis of consensus" and "was not integrated into the EU's regulatory process".
BEREC, on the other hand, will "give important expert opinions on the functioning of the telecoms market in the EU", not to mention "advise, support and complement the independent work of national telecoms regulators", which it will be able to do with its team of ten support personnel - once the regional representatives can decide where that team should live.
Until that decision BEREC will have to hang out in Brussels, where representatives from national regulators will vote on what opinions they should express, when asked.
But we shouldn't complain too much: BEREC is the castrated remains of Viviane Reding's super regulator which would have had 130 staff wielding the power to specify technical standards and allocate radio spectrum across Europe. The creation of a powerless talking shop seems a small price to pay to avoid such a thing. ®

My question is: Doesn't the NYPD require a psychiatric screening for prospective police officers?
I mean, how did this so-called "cannibal cop" slip through? He looks like a nice boy, but he was found guilty last week of conspiring to kidnap his wife, along with several other women, then do bad things to them and eventually cook and eat them. He could get life in prison.
The guy worked as a policeman. A law-enforcement person. A peace officer. A neighborhood cop. A symbol of sanity in a chaotic world. Officer Krupke. Yet he was convicted of planning sadistic crimes, the thought of which, the presiding judge said, "degrade the human spirit." Something about the 28-year-old's behavior (we can only imagine) prompted his young wife to investigate the websites he was visiting. When she discovered the disturbing emails he was exchanging with other enthusiasts of torture and cannibalism, she tipped off the FBI.
In his emails, Gilberto Valle, the felon in question, wrote in a breezy way about carrying out ghastly crimes. As one blogger wrote, the details are so grisly, so extreme, that they almost seem like a send-up, something out of Monty Python.
Despite his marriage, Valle was active on a dating website, and in one profile he listed his favorite meals as "Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese … I'll try anything and am not picky at all." Following his conviction, one blogger commended him for his cultural diversity.
I cannot imagine a sicker, more troubled individual wearing a badge or living next door. The thought of him as somebody's husband and father chills the heart. That said, if I were on the jury, I would have voted "not guilty."
The fact is, nobody got hurt. The government's complaint says that Valle did research for his prospective crimes. He looked up recipes for chloroform and kept files of his intended victims, including their photos. At one point he contacted an old high school friend, went to visit her and shared a meal. But nothing bad happened. He had even brought along his wife and baby.

TEMR: David Morgan is an expert on silver, gold and precious metals investments. He's a world renowned lecturer appearing on CNBC and the FOX Business Channel. He's an author having penned, Get the Skinny on Silver Investing. Mr. Morgan is a regular contributor and friend of The Ellis Martin Report. David welcome back to the show and happy New Year to you.
David Morgan: Ellis thanks and happy New Year to you.
TEMR: Are you optimistic for 2012 with regards to silver or metals in general?
David Morgan: If we take the whole year into account I am, yes. But, I think it's going to be the most volatile year we've probably seen to date.
TEMR: Are you encouraged by the start of this week at all or are you just ignoring it and looking towards the long-term?
David Morgan: You can't ignore one of the biggest gains on a one day basis for silver going back years. I mean, we got off to a rocket launch and of course you have to pay attention to that. But, that just goes back to the word I used just a second ago, volatility. I think you're going to see a lot of movement both directions but overall the trend will be higher. And, I'm expecting actually to see silver pretty much double over the course of 2012, meaning going roughly from $30.00 to roughly $60.00.
TEMR: So, you're predicting $60.00 silver at some point during 2012. That's a big number for silver.
David Morgan: It is. It breaches the $50.00 psychological barrier that sells silver down ever since the Hunt Brothers situation. And, it was smashed down at that $48 1/2 level actually or $40 1/2 some time ago. And, it's going to take some work to get through that but I believe this is the year that it will happen. And, I believe once we get through that psychological barrier that will become a floor for quite some time.
TEMR: Now as a subscriber to The Morgan Report or silver-investor.com, I get updates from time to time or I read them from time to time from you as do all of your subscribers. And, I while back I believe you mentioned, I may be paraphrasing here, silver as a buying opportunity at any price under $30.00. So, I took your advice and I went out and stacked up on some rounds. Are you buying more silver right now?
David Morgan: Yes I am. And, that's exactly correct I said for a long-term investor, and long-term these days is like in the 2 to 3-year time horizon, anything under $30.00 buy physical. And, so far that's proven to be pretty good handle on things because if you look at the chart and see how many days it's traded under $30.00 there aren't very many. And, even on the days where it's printed in the $26.00 level there's not many prints there. In other words you have to look at these markets in a way that most people don't understand because they don't really know how markets work. But, it's like, I'll use the car analogy. I know sometimes a lot of car dealers will put a car on display and it will be, you know, the super deal. And, it's one at this price only. So, they have a lot of other cars that are almost identical to it but there's only one at that specific price. So, it's kind of the same thing for silver. How much $26.00 silver is available? And, the answer is far less than is available at $36.00, if you get my point. I hope I made that clear. People get the idea that once it gets to $26.00 or $22.00 or whatever their fantasy number is, I'll put my $2 million dollars in there or whatever. Markets don't work that way. There might only be enough silver at that level to take $100,000.00 worth of metal off the market and then the price starts moving back up. So, that's something to bear in mind. There's a lot of people out there that just don't understand exactly how these markets work.
TEMR: Well, what surprised me the particular morning I actually physically drove to a bullion dealer in Los Angeles, a substantial dealer, I was the only one there buying silver. In fact, I was the only one in the showroom. I expected it to be packed. What's going with regard to perception in the retail area and silver?
David Morgan: Well, it's typical psychology. If you really want to do well in the markets you have to understand psychology more than the numbers. Numbers are important. They're a tool. But, if you really understand human psychology you'll do even better. And, well, let's see, the price has gone off. The price has been below $0.50 May 1st and it's going lower or I want to wait and see. So, you know, a lot of people that get that wait and see kind of an attitude and they'll wait. They'll watch. They'll see the bottom. They won't know it's the bottom and they won't buy. In other words they just watch the whole time. And, there's lots of people out there like that because the psychology is they want to get the exact price, low. And, that's an amateurs game. A professional looks at a market and says this is still a bull market. The major trend is still up. Nothing's gone on in the financial system that's made anything close to a resolution of these massive problems on a global basis. The metals is really the only safe harbor. Therefore, I'm going to establish a position and I'm going to keep building it. To use your words, stacking. Keep stacking up your gold and silver. And, a lot of people do get that but a lot of people don't. They're waiting and they'll continue to wait and they'll miss the market.
TEMR: Well, they're going to wait until the price goes up I guess or until it goes down and it may not go down as low as they want it. Is that essentially what you're saying?
David Morgan: Yeah. What happens is people do the wrong things. I mean, right now you were the only one in the shop. That's a good indicator you're buying correctly. I mean, if there was a massive amount of people in there you might question yourself. It doesn't mean you shouldn't buy. You might say, hmm that's interesting. So, people should buy when they're fearful, which is now. And, they should be selling or lighten up when they're greedy. But, that's not what happens if you study the markets. And, it's not just the gold and silver markets. It's the tech. It's the housing boom. It's any market. People get very euphoric at the highs. So as you said a moment ago silver starts moving back to number 35/40 you're going to see a lot more enthusiasm and a lot people coming in the market that didn't want to touch it when it was under $30.00. You know, they might have heard this radio show even and said, you know, that sounds really, really good but it's going lower. And, they don't do it. And, then it starts to move higher. And, some of those people will say, I'm throwing in the towel. I've got to buy it. I'm going to buy it now. Well, they would've had a much better profit base if they would've bought it when it felt wrong to buy it.
TEMR: And, we had this almost exact conversation well over a year ago when it was under $20.00.
David Morgan: That's correct. You've got a great memory and that's precisely accurate. We had a very similar conversation. And, you know, the thinking at that time, generally speaking, I'm paraphrasing, was that, oh my gosh $20.00. It was at $5.00 at one time. It's a quadruple. Double-digits. Now that's too high. Well, is $22.00 high when you've got an infinite monetary supply and governments that are so irresponsible that they won't own up to the responsibility? You've got governments all around the world that don't know what to do and they're actually in a panic mode behind closed doors. They're throwing rocks at each other. And, they don't understand how to correct the system because it's beyond correction. I mean, there really isn't a physical paper price that you should focus on. We should focus on is, do I have metal or don't I? You should focus on do I have more at the end of 2012 than I had at the beginning of 2012? And, that's the way you should appropriate your wealth because it is wealth. It's stored value and it's for the future or spending on the present day if you choose to do so. That's the only way to articulate it. But, people cannot get that paradigm shift in their thinking. Now if we were on a hard money standard then they would say well if I had more silver coins tomorrow than I had today I'm wealthier. And, that's so simple to grasp that concept. But, when you put in the paper paradigm and everybody thinks of their net worth in terms of paper they can't get the concept. They're blinded to it. But, yet the reality is take that red pill. Get out of the matrix and look at your net worth in terms of how many coins do I have today versus what I had a year ago. Do I have more or less? And, that is true value. But, I can't emphasize it enough and I certainly can't put those rose colored glasses on everybody so they can see past the illusion into the reality.
Ellis Martin: Well, let's shift this conversation into another lateral realm more or less. When I think about silver rounds now having done business with a few silver producers based out of Canada and producing in Mexico and China and what have you, I can't help but think about these companies producing silver right now and being a part of that. What are your thoughts concerning silver producers right now? Are you grabbing up more of that stock?
David Morgan: Absolutely. I mean, my belief hasn't really changed. They're the most undervalued best place to be in the market and of course this is the one that has the most fear surrounding it. But, if you are patient and you have conviction the best place to be is in the junior to mid-tier producers. Buy in over the next, I'd say, few to several months, meaning 3 to 6-months and hold to your hats because what's going to happen in my very strong view is that to people that are extremely late to the party that we talked about a moment ago, that will have to pile into silver above $40.00, more above $50.00 and even more as it moves beyond that they're going to feel they missed it. But, they're also going to look at reality at some big way and say my IRA isn't going to make it. My pension fund isn't there. Maybe Social Security payments will come but they're not going to buy anything. In other words, fear will drive the market. So, there'll be a huge rush into gold and silver. However, most people will not go to coin dealers at that point in time. They'll feel that the prices of have passed them by. But they will be looking for gold and silver mining companies like crazy. So, I predict that it'll be similar to the tech or the housing boom only it will be as big as or greater than those in real terms. And, the reason I say that is there's nothing like a fear driven market. When you think your money is going to lose value rapidly it's huge motivator to move out of that currency whatever the currency. Be it the euro. Be it the U.S. dollar. Be it the Aussie dollar. Be it whatever. Into a gold or silver related asset. And, that will be the underlying equities because almost everybody in the U.S. and in fact globally has some type of a trading platform that's computer based and they can click a mouse and buy a gold stock. And, once that phenomenon starts to grab hold, and I really think it's going to take 1 1/2 to 2 years before you see this, but once it starts it is going to be, you know, the Albania all over again. You're going to see some of these penny stocks go ten-baggers in a matter of weeks.
TEMR: So it's ok to accumulate now but you must be patient. Look ahead for 2013 and 2014.
David Morgan: I really believe that's the case. And, that's the reason why if you really can think through these things and try to get your emotions out of the way you're going to buy right now when the market's quiet, which is exactly what you said. You walked in the coin shop you were the only one. That's a quiet market. Never sell a quiet market, one of my favorite market adages. And, number two, you really want to be buying when everybody else is thinking about it. So, now is the time. It doesn't mean this day. As I said, in the next 3 to 6-months I think. You've probably got that window of opportunity and then you're going to start seeing a new base built and start moving up. And, It'll move up I think well. But, not into the panic buying mode that I described a minute ago. That's a couple of years off I think.
TEMR: Does politics per se have any immediate decision across the board with regard to influencing you over your investment decisions?
David Morgan: Somewhat but not much. I mean, the political spectrum is so corrupt that it is a situation that the analogy I use is it's like changing captains on the Titanic. It doesn't matter which party is in. It doesn't matter who's at the control. It doesn't matter what blather lather speech they're making. No real changes can be made. The hull has been pierced and the ship's going down.
TEMR: So, you're pretty much ignoring the news except for maybe a mild interest in what's happening politically.
David Morgan: Yeah. Some people use it to trade. I let it influence me slightly. But, I mean, I look at the fundamental picture when it comes to politics. And, the fundamental picture in my strong view is that it's corrupt and it cannot be corrected at this point in time. There's some hopes out there. I mean, I'll voice that I was honored of being able to have dinner with Ron Paul. It wasn't a one on one. It was at the Austrians Group at San Francisco one time. And, I think he's awesome. And, I even think if he's elected he'd not be able to turn the ship around. I think it's too late. That's my opinion. But, I really don't put much clout into the political system any more. I think it's just really, really similar to the Roman Empire. We're in the final days. And, at most the Congress critters and most of the senators are looking to fatten their own wallets on a personal basis and could give a hoot about the citizenry.
TEMR: Following up on an earlier point that you made just a while back in this conversation. You mentioned the real estate bubble. You mentioned the tech bubble of the late nineties and the early 2000s. Mining stocks, gold, silver, is that a bubble? Or will it act like one without ever popping?
David Morgan: That is a fabulous question. And, I wish I had an answer. My take at this point in time subject to change is that I think the equities could get into a bubble mode. I mean, It's pretty easy to figure out what a company is worth based whatever the current dollar price is. And, when you're in that kind of a blow off rally you got to kind of keep your head about you and realize that you've only got a derivative. So, what do you do with that derivative? And, the answer is quite frankly I don't know. It's a case by case individual basis but I've thought about it a great deal. So, my take would be to change that asset to another one. So, an example would be you've got very overvalued mining shares and maybe you could exchange that for the currency (inaudible) and move that quickly into a very undervalued asset such as a land position, raw land perhaps. Maybe real estate. Maybe income producing real estate. I don't know. That's the idea. I think you still want to be in a hard asset. And, so, you could either go into a land position or something along those lines. As far as the metal itself I'm reserving comment. My take today and it has been for the last couple of years is to go ahead and hold the metal itself. And, the reason being is that you don't want to trade any physical metal for any piece of paper unless the whole system has been rectified to some large degree and you have confidence back in the system. And, if there is a currency that's gold backed or that everyone trusts and confidence restored to the system and then certainly you can take a look at that and sell the physical. But, unless that confidence and trust is restored I don't think it makes any sense to sell the physical. So, hopefully I was clear on that. You want to sell the derivatives and put it into some type of undervalued asset at the time and you want to hold the metals until you're sure or as sure as you can be that there's some confidence remaining in the system or it's been rebuilt. In other words it's fallen down as far as it can go. It's bottomed and now confidence is being rebuilt and things are on the upswing again.
TEMR: If you don't mind David tell our new listeners about your website, silver-investor.com or also themorganreport.com.
David Morgan: Certainly. I think what I'd suggest to most people that are not familiar with my work is get on my free list. It is absolutely free. You'll get The 10 Rules of Silver Investing. And, you can go through those. I think they come out about every 3 or 4 days. And, then I send out a weekly update to everyone for free on the economic conditions. And, it's also a way to kind of track where I'm speaking or what I'm doing over the course of the following months or so. And, then if you like the way I write we offer usually a sample edition to report that you can read and view if you want to actually get my best thinking which is reserved for my members only.
TEMR: Well, David it's a pleasure to speak with you. Again, I've been speaking with David Morgan, the silver-guru, expert on mining, money and metals. The website again is silver-investor.com and themorganreport.com. David thanks a lot for joining me today.
David Morgan: My pleasure Ellis. Thank you.

Off To a Good Start, Part Two: In Which We Replace "Good" With "OMG"
October 06, 2009
So. Okay.* The Other Story.
*Does anyone remember LonelyGirl15? The really early videos when she was just cute and vlogging and only vaguely ominously in danger, before things went kind of off the rails and involved too many shaky-running-scenes through parking garages? She always started those videos by saying "So. Okay." or some variant and anyway I seem to have caught a touch of that this week. I don't know why either.
First, some background. If you were reading this summer, you may remember a post about a mother I met at Noah's summer camp. Our encounter started with some banter about slings and second babies (she was pregnant) and then we immediately moved on to the business of Crap Ass Preschools and their treatment of even the mildest of special needs. She was feisty and clever and I liked her immediately, but then everything took a turn for the HOLY SHITBALLS AWKWARD when I mentioned our old preschool by name. It turned out to be the very school she was planning to send her son this fall, having been fed the same goddamn lines about their "experience" with sensory and attention issues. It understandably rattled her, and I assured her we'd talk more about it later.
And then the next day she completely, almost willfully ignored me. And the day after that. No eye contact. I would smile and wave and...nothing. So I spent a good amount of the summer fuming and Twittering about it. WHAT THE HELL, SENSITIVE PREGNANT LADY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT THEY SUCK. YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT YOU KNOW. YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BE WANTING MY FRIENDSHIP. AND YES. I AM CAPS LOCK IN REAL LIFE.
Flashforward** to last Thursday: Noah's first day at The Preschool.
**Dude. Was there not a TREMENDOUS drop in quality from the pilot to the second episode? If you were one of the many people who missed the first episode and then watched last week's because I got all breathy and caps-locky on you about OMGWATCHFLASHFORWARD, I apologize. I was possibly mislead. Charlie From Lost is still supposedly going to show up? So? Eh?
The arrival and drop-off routine at The Preschool involves kids and parents all sitting in a designated area off of the lobby until the teachers and aides arrive to escort every one down to the classroom at once, thus minimizing the distraction of students who attend The Elementary School. While I knew we were joining an established class, I didn't realize just HOW established. It's a mixed-age class, going all the way up to six years old. Noah is the youngest by a good six months. Most of the kids and families have known each other for at least a year -- two years in a couple cases. So. Hi, I'm the New Girl. I overheard birthday party discussions and playdate plans and everybody knew everybody and Noah was...really not happy with the waiting room arrangement, since he knew he was at The Camp but we didn't wait in this room at The Camp and why won't I let him go to The Camp gaaaaaaahhhhhhmeltdown. I was caught a little off-guard by how stressful I found it all to be.
And then two little boys became entranced with Ezra and proceeded to take turns kissing him on the mouth. I mentally made up my mind right then and there about the H1N1 vaccine and tried to politely suggest that hey, LET'S NOT DO THAT...and that's when I saw Her.
The Mom From Summer Camp. I was torn between reverting to my WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM LADY stance and immense gratitude that hey, at least it's someone I know and someone Noah knows and I directed Noah's attention to hey look it's Johnny!*
*His name is not Johnny.
Another mother said something like, "Oh, you guys know each other?"
And just as I nodded, the Mom From Summer Camp looked me in the eye and said no.
Y'all, my jaw dropped a good foot and a half and I was overcome with a desire to DIE or MELT TO THE FLOOR or hurl myself at a nearby potted plant, Jon-Gosselin-Girlfriend style.
I think I managed to say something about oh, actually, YES, the boys were at summer camp together. I could tell she was genuinely struggling to place me, but Noah's name finally rang a bell and THANK GOD, the teacher showed up right then to save me from all this "conversing with other grownups" bullshit.
Back in the car, I kind of laughed about it. Here I'd been so worried that by unwittingly bashing the preschool I'd made some kind of crazy faux pas, thus forever earning her scorn and ire and it turned out that the conversation had BARELY registered on her radar, or at least the person she had the conversation with. Who the fuck do I think I am, honestly?
And either way, fresh start! Moving on! Let's make some mom friends! You can do this!
When I arrived to pick Noah up a few hours later, she pulled into the parking lot at the same time. I suddenly wondered if she'd had her baby -- she was still wearing the same long baggy clothing but certainly didn't look pregnant, though she didn't have a baby with her now.
We started walking together.
"I'm sorry," she said, "Did we really meet each other this summer?"
"Yessssss," I said, smiling as hard as I possibly could, resisting the urge to reveal the fact that I remembered every word of our singular conversation like it was yesterday. So there.
"Wow, I was really in such a fog. Drop off, pick up. You know."
"Mm-hmmmmmmm," And then I couldn't help myself. I asked about whether her son attended a preschool in the morning. NO REASON. JUST CURIOUS.
And then what followed suddenly got...confusing. Yes, her son does go somewhere in the morning, but certainly not our old school, and then there were other details that just didn't jibe with our old preschool even being a possibility for him.
And I suddenly had a flash of clarity. I could suddenly see the face of the mom I had the preschool conversation with.
And it wasn't her. It wasn't HER.
All summer. ALL SUMMER YOU GUYS. I have been obsessing over the WRONG WOMAN. I have gone out of my way to engage the wrong woman in eye contact, smiling, finally giving up and flat-out glaring, because WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM WITH ME?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe something do with all the bug-eyed crazy faces I made at someone whom I never actually said a single word too? Someone who actually seems very shy and soft-spoken and OH YEAH, completely not even a little bit pregnant?
At this point I am wondering whether I had some kind of Fourth-of-July fireworks-induced stroke, because I cannot even BEGIN to understand how I ever got them mixed up. They both had...brown hair? Kind of...tall? I THINK the first woman, the Real One, either stopped sending her son to the camp or someone else took over drop-off and pick-up duties because now I don't remember seeing her again after the first day, and thus I inexplicably pinned all my hopes and dreams of Mom Friendship on the next tallish brunette in a flowy top that I laid my eyes on.
Basically: Amy, this is why you can't have nice things. Or friends. Or permission to leave the house unsupervised.
/dying of shame, paranoia, & plans to delete this post before an updated class list is distributed with last names and I achieve the Social Pariah status that I so clearly and justly deserve

Corey Griffin, one of the original pioneers of the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge movement, has died at 27 following a diving accident.
The philanthropist was in Nantucket Island on Friday evening for an ALS fundraiser, where he helped raise $100,000 for the cause. Hours later at around 2am, he dove into the water from the top of a building, but a horrible accident occurred. Corey "floated to the surface, then he sank. He did not come up again," according to the Boston Globe. An off-duty lifeguard happened to be nearby and recovered his body from the bottom of the harbor.
Corey was close friends with Pete Frates, whose struggle with ALS was the launchpad for the Ice Bucket Challenge. He made it his mission to fight for the cause.
"He was the happiest guy in the world," Corey's father, Robert Griffin, said. "He called me last night and told me he was in paradise."
We send out our thoughts and condolences to Corey's family during this difficult time.

Electronic Transport Through Self-Assembled Monolayers
Published on
Characterization of charge transport in molecular scale electronic devices has to date shown exquisite sensitivity to specifics of device fabrication and preparation. Thus, intrinsic molecular band structure has been problematic to extract from published results. Here we demonstrate cross-platform device characterization for the metal-insulator-metal (M-I-M) tunneling through a large bandgap alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
Electronic charge transport is investigated for various-length alkanethiol SAMs using three different characterization methods, in which lateral areas span the nanometer to the micrometer scale. In each method, the measured current-voltage characteristics are analyzed with metal-insulator-metal tunneling models. Transport parameters are determined where possible and compared across methods, as well as to previously reported values. Advantages and limitations of these various methods for characterizing molecular junctions are briefly discussed.
We also perform inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) on alkanedithiol nanoscale devices. The IETS spectrum of the octanedithiol device clearly shows vibrational signatures of an octanedithiolate bonded to gold electrodes. The pronounced IETS peaks correspond to vibrational modes perpendicular to the junction interface, which include the Au-S and C-C stretching modes and CH2 wagging mode. The observed peak intensities and peak widths are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
Takhee Lee received a B.S. and M.S. degree in physics at Seoul National University, Seoul in Korea in 1992 and 1994, respectively. Then, he attended Purdue University in 1995 and obtained a Ph.D. degree in Physics in 2000. His Ph.D. thesis is Electronic properties of Au nanoclusters/semiconductor structures with low resistance interfaces (advised by Prof. Ron Reifenberger). Since 2000, he has been in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University as Postdoctoral Associate (supervised by Prof. Mark Reed). His current research interest is focused on molecular nanotechnology. Specific research interests are (1) characterize the electrical and structural properties of nanostructures involving single molecules, nanoparticles, and their arrays and (2) assemble these "nano-building blocks" (such as molecules, nanoparticles) into electronic devices.

This lesson includes four activities. Activity 1 introduces concepts related to distance, including length and height and units of measurement. Students are asked to make comparisons of distances. In activity 2, students work with a graph and plot... (View More) the heights of objects and the layers of the atmosphere: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In activity 3, students learn about other forms of visual displays using satellite imagery. They compare images of a hurricane using two different satellite images. One image is looking down on the hurricane from space, the other looks through the hurricane to display a profile of the hurricane. Activity 4 reinforces the concept of the vertical nature of the atmosphere. Students will take a CALIPSO satellite image that shows a profile of the atmosphere and use this information to plot mountains and clouds on their own graph of the atmosphere. The recommended order for the activities is to complete the first two activities on day one, and the second two activities on day two. Each day will require approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. (View Less)

Getting cast on the series was pure serendipity. Mr. Goldshmid, co-chair of Students for a Better Society, was holding a campus protest. It seems Victoria's Secret uses paper made from Canadian old-growth trees for its slick catalogs, a no-no in environmentalist circles. He, Mr. Khurana and another friend, Ben Wells, were approached by a casting director in town looking for contestants.

Not too late to get flu shot
Even with flu levels in the state elevated to "widespread," area medical experts said it's not too late to get your flu shot.
On Wednesday, the state Department of Public Health reported that flu activity in the state is widespread, meaning that means that more than 50 percent of a state's geographic regions, such as counties, are experiencing flu activity.
DPH reports that 683 people in the state have tested positive for the contagious respiratory illness.
About 142 people have been hospitalized and two people older than 45 have died from flu. So far, Fairfield County has the highest number of confirmed flu cases, at 239.
Locally, doctors said this level of activity is normal for January, generally considered the peak of flu season. "We've definitely seen an increase" in flu cases, said Dr. Zane Saul, chief of infectious diseases at Bridgeport Hospital. He said there have been some people hospitalized with flu at Bridgeport -- mostly those with other conditions, such diabetes and asthma.
At Greenwich Hospital, infection preventionist Sandra Stricoff said the hospital has had more than 70 people test positive for flu, and the number of people coming in with symptoms has risen. "We're seeing the same trends as the rest of the state," she said.
More InformationCDC tips: Take preventive action
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Doctors have said that H1N1, once dubbed "swine flu," seems to be a predominant strain this year.
Flu season typically starts in October and sees a peak around January, so the state is right on target. Last flu season was particularly robust, with 11,511 positive flu reports and 57 flu-related deaths.
All doctors agreed that one of the best ways to prevent contracting the flu is to get a flu shot -- and no, it's not too late. Many places are still providing flu shots, including most drug store chains, such as Walgreens. Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso said Connecticut's store "definitely have an ample supply" of flu vaccine.
Though Caruso said he didn't know how many people have come in seeking flu vaccines, he knows the stores have been busy. "We're definitely in flu season," he said. "We're seeing a rise in flu vaccines and other flu-related products."

Buffalo doubles its bet with two defensemen
NEWARK, N.J. — A player with a big shot who should jump into the lineup next year and a big project who will add some snarl. Going defense-first with a pair of 18-year-olds, there's your capsule scouting report on the Buffalo Sabres' first-round picks Sunday.
Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen of Finland was chosen at No. 8 and fellow blue-liner Nikita Zadorov, a Russian who played last year for the Ontario Hockey League's London Knights, went at No. 16 as the Sabres held on to their two choices in the opening round.
The 6-foot-3, 201-pound Ristolainen was rated the No. 4 overall international skater by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau and the top-rated skating defenseman. He led his Finnish team, TPS, in scoring with three goals and 15 points while averaging more than 21 minutes per game.
"I try to play like Shea Weber," Ristolainen said of the Nashville Predators star. "He's like my idol. He's a big leader on the ice, plays physical, has a good shot."
Zadorov, who said he is 6-5½ and 225 pounds, led OHL rookies with a plus-33 ranking and finished second among rookie defensemen with 25 points (six goals, 19 assists). London won the league title and Zadorov also had a game-winning goal against Saskatoon in the Memorial Cup.
"I'm a two-way defenseman, big guy," Zadorov said. "I play a physical game. I can do body checks and open-ice hits. I can shoot and score goals. I really like to hit."
Ristolainen said he thought he would be taken somewhere between picks 10-15 but added he feels he's ready to make the NHL next season.
"It was a good surprise for me," Ristolainen said of the Sabres' selection. "I think it's maybe easier to get a spot on the team if they are rebuilding."
Both players have connections to previous first-round Buffalo picks. Ristolainen is close to winger Joel Armia, the Finn the Sabres took with their first choice in 2011. At last year's World Junior Championships, Zadorov was roommates with 2012 top pick Mikhail Grigorenko,
"Armia is a good friend for me," Ristolainen said. "He told me Buffalo is a very good place and very nice city."
Grigorenko wished Zadorov luck before his Russian friend came to New Jersey.
"He said, 'I'll be happy if you go to the Sabres,' and I'm in the Sabres shirt right now so I think he's happy," Zadorov said.
The Sabres are going to need plenty of defense playing in their new division next season. In addition to the old Northeast clubs, the unnamed group will now include Detroit, Florida and Tampa Bay. After Nathan MacKinnon went first overall to Colorado, the Panthers took Finnish center Aleksander Barkov with the No. 2 pick and the Lightning got Halifax winger Jonathan Drouin at No. 3.
"That's a pretty big deal," said General Manager Darcy Regier. "The only good thing I suppose is that MacKinnon went out west."
Zadorov came to Canada to fulfill his dream of playing in the NHL but did it without knowing any English. With the help of teammates and a tutor, he learned the language in a few months and smoothly handled interviews Sunday.
"It was pretty tough, and not just hockey," he said. "I didn't know English before. It was a different country. I played here and I liked it a lot. My teammates and everyone around me helped me a lot."

No matter what type of internal magazine or website report I generate to gauge reader feedback on our print and online editorial content, the result is always the same. It's clear you love anything that relates to the National Electrical Code. You give us high marks for our comprehensive coverage of the "Top 25 Code Changes," which is associated with the release of each new edition of the NEC. You like it when we regularly test your Code knowledge via our Code Quiz items in our twice-a-month e-newsletter "CodeWatch." You also pay extra close attention to our "Code Quandaries" Q&A items and "Code Basics" articles, telling us they're a great way to learn what issues are confusing others in the industry and reinforce the proper ways to apply Code requirements.
But when it comes to our coverage of the NEC, nothing is more popular than our "Illustrated Catastrophes" and "What's Wrong Here?" departments. These editorial sections consistently rank at — or close to — the top of our popularity charts and page view reports. It's quite obvious everyone loves to see a bad installation — the worse the better! Unfortunately for the people who live, work, and shop in these buildings, there appears to be no shortage of photos to fill the pages of these departments for years to come. By the way, keep sending us those photos. We love it when you share what you find in the field too!
A few months back, we challenged ourselves to think of new and innovative ways to improve our coverage of the Code. When our passionate Code consultant Joe Tedesco pitched the idea of creating some short videos on botched electrical installations he ran across in the field, I knew we were on to something big. What better way to bring these Code violations to life than to capture them on video? So Joe put on his inspector's cap, grabbed a video camera, and hit the streets in search of those ever-present non-compliant installations.
Our new "Moving Violations" section on the EC&M website takes our most popular content and morphs it into a short video clip, which clearly explains the infraction and cites Code references where applicable. All video clips are hosted on the "Moving Violations" archive page (http://ecmweb.com/nec/moving_violations/), which is accessible via a link in the right rail of any page on the site. Once a video is selected from this page, it will open in a separate video player.
At press time, we currently have posted six videos to this page. Our future plans call for adding a new video to the site in conjunction with the release of each new issue of "CodeWatch." To give you some extra incentive to visit the site and watch a few of these videos yourself, we're also working out the details for a Moving Violations Giveaway Contest. In the tradition of our "What's Wrong Here?" format, here's your hint about the contest. Think race cars!

5.5 Million People Bought Saints Row: The Third
Though THQ has been going through some rough financial troubles over the past year, the company can take solace in knowing one of its biggest franchises performed incredibly well.
Saints Row: The Third was one of 2011's most surprising sequels, and not only was it a darling to fans and critics, but it apparently was a pretty big success for THQ. According to the publisher's new president Jason Rubin, the game has sold 5.5 million copies since it came out in November 2011.
To make it even more impressive, as Rubin points out, those sales numbers are from before the THQ Humble Bundle was offered. Though that sale is now over, an additional 885,362 copies of the games included were sold. THQ raised more than $5 million by letting people pay what they wanted to for the bundle.
More Saints Row games are planned, including a fourth entry which will comprise of all-new content plus the abandoned "Enter the Dominatrix" expansion originally slated for release earlier this year.

Most swords are not made from stainless steel and therefore need proper handling and maintenance to keep their natural beauty. Never touch blade with your hands or fingers, the sweat can damage a blade, should this occur quickly clean off blade with a clean dry cloth, talcum powder the blade and wipe again, and finally add a new coat of high quality Choji oil or equivalent. Pure clove oils will damage the blade. These swords are the real deal and it is recommended you have a very good knowledge of proper sword handling, and use proper care and caution

As long as I can remember I have been consumed with photography. Everywhere I go my camera goes with me. I admit that my memory is not very good, but that is what created my need to capture each moment of my life. So often we go through the day failing to notice the beauty that is all around us. I would like to think that my photography takes the monotony out of the day and brings to life the wonders that are hidden. From the clutter of the trash strewn about the street to the vastness of the greatest of topography, I cannot take a step without finding a moment to take a picture. Capturing an image on film is not confining that which has been photographed but it is releasing the power of the subject for all to experience. Photography for...

text: I started BFing my LO since day 1 but on her 2nd day at the hospital she needed to be supplemented with formula due to her jaundice. Since then, she's been on formula but i BF her 3-4 times a day during her 1st week after which i had the depression, trouble eating and all that and had been BFing her only 1-2 times a day since then. She's now 6 weeks and i've been back to work full time already since Feb 1st. I try to BF her at night but she would only latch on for a few minutes then get frustrated already when there's not much milk coming out and want a bottle. My breast went back to its prepregnancy size already and my milk supply is getting less and less. The other day i'm able to get 20ml from both breasts when i tried using a manual pump but yesterday i barely got 5ml. I want to still be able to BF my baby or atleast give her my breastmilk in a bottle. But my milk supply is almost gone, the only place i can pump at work is at the ladies restroom and i really can't be away from my desk more than 10minutes unless its lunchbreak and if i try to BF my baby again it'll be most likely between 5pm and 12mn only on work nights but i cna do all day on weekends. With my situation, it is still possible for me to try relactating and be able to produce enough breastmilk for my baby?
