Chapter 1- My Bella
The air whipped by as my feet flew - not quite gracefully, I wasn't a leech after all - over the uneven ground. The salt air stung my nostrils and helped to clear my mind.
Matrimony. Bella was getting married. To a blood-sucking monster. A filthy, blood-sucking, girlfriend stealing..
My train of thought halted. She wasn't my girlfriend. She had never been and, apparently, never would be. I guess a part of me had never quite given up the hope that maybe the love she felt for me would in some way at least compare to the love she felt for him. That same part of me even thought that for some reason she would eventually chose me over him. After all, I was the one here for her when he left her broken; practically dead. But the moment he had come back, she had pretended like he never hurt her in the first place. I was the only one who saw through his pathetic excuses. He didn't want to keep Bella safe, he got bored and so he left. Who knew how long it would be before that happened again. Only this time, I would never let him get away with it.
I snarled before I could stop myself and then slowed my running to a jog, trying to calm the shaking. In, out. With each lungful of air, another memory washed over me.
In. Bella was laughing, though it didn't quite reach her eyes, as we sat in my garage working on the motorcycles. One arm was wrapped protectively around her waist, and each time I turned my gaze from her face, her eyes would fill with tears almost automatically. I wanted to reach out; to hold her and tell her everything would be okay, but I didn't. She never knew that I noticed. Out. We were in the emergency room, her arm cut up badly from another accident on the motorcycle. As the door swung open to reveal the doctor, Bella's eyes lit up eagerly until she saw it wasn't who she was hoping for. I felt a twinge of disgust in the pit of my stomach as I realized how much she really hoped they were going to come back. The hope in her eyes flashed to the usual despair before she covered it up in the emotionless mask she had become accustomed to. Only I ever could really tell how she felt. And only I would ever know how much pain she was really in. Those damn leeches were going to have to answer to me. A shudder escaped my carefully composed facade and a small piece of the table I was leaning on for support broke off in my hand, but if Bella noticed she didn't acknowledge it. In. It was a long time ago, the very night he left. I hadn't been there, and I was always going to regret not being able to be there to help her. Even still, Sam's memory flashed through my mind in more detail then my own did most times. Bella was on the ground, sobbing. Her thin frame shaking and shuddering violently in the cold wind and rain, but she didn't seem to notice. Her eyes were wide, and her lips moved almost imperceptibly. He's gone. She chanted over and over, not even noticing when Sam lifted her gently in his overheated arms.
My arms began shuddering violently and I clenched my jaw, trying to stop the shaking. If I transformed now, everyone would surely chew me out for running away. There was no way I would be able to avoid their questions with their thoughts constantly bombarding my head.
I stopped jogging abruptly, standing and staring at the setting sun.
How ironic. My entire world was dreary and gray; dying. But you would never know that a heart was breaking when you looked at the beautiful patterns and colors in the sky. Briefly, I wondered to myself if Bella was watching this same sunset and thinking about me. I doubted it. She had her bloodsucker now, and she didn't need me. No one did.Except for maybe the pack. A small voice in the back of my head was constantly nagging me that I should go back. They needed their beta, and their friend. At this point, though, I wasn't entirely sure they would even consider me a friend anymore. I had run away from them because I was a coward and couldn't face the fact that Bella didn't love me. No one really understood how I felt. I never expected them to. The only person who ever came close was Bella, and I didn't want to think about who she felt that way for. My emotions were swirling around in my head and giving me a massive migraine. Nothing made sense. I hadn't imprinted, so why was I so damn attached to her?
No reason that I could think of really seemed to fit. I kicked a rock hard in my frustration and it hit a nearby tree, a few pieces of bark breaking away and falling to the ground. Why was I so attached to her? She wasn't anything special, merely a friend. And things change. We lose old friends and gain new ones. Life goes on.
But she wasn't just a friend. I loved her. With every ounce of my soul, I loved her. I loved her clumsiness and her carefree laugh. I loved the look on her face when she was trying to figure out one of the puzzles life threw at her, and I loved how she would never give up. My Bella was the most stubborn creature alive.
I almost laughed. Until I remembered yet again that she wasn't mine.
If only I could have stopped her, she wouldn't be marrying a disgusting blood-sucker right now. I wouldn't have to watch silently as my best friend turned into my mortal enemy.
Another tremor rolled down my spine and I waited for it to subside before sitting down on a big rock that was nearby. My fingers clutched at the edges anxiously with each wave of pain and anger (at myself) when I thought of the other possibilities.
I didn't have to sit by and watch silently. I knew that. But the only other options I had were to destroy her precious Edward and his family. That would hurt her badly, though, and the only thing I hated worse then the idea of her becoming one of them would be to hurt her again (and possibly worse then he did the first time). The small part of me that was still sane was what kept me from doing anything stupid. I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold up, though.
A piece of the rock crumbled beneath my fingers while I grasped at it.
"Damnit," I mumbled to myself, laying my head down and keeping my fingers firmly planted on the edge of the rock. "What is wrong with me?"
A sound caught my attention and I turned eagerly towards the woods, almost hoping to see someone familiar. But it was just a rabbit, and as soon as it saw that I had been alerted to its presence, it hopped away.
It was time. Even if I wasn't ready, and even if I didn't really want to put up with the comments from the pack, I needed to go home. I needed to see Bella one last time; needed to make things right.
My mind conjured up a picture of Bella as I transformed, allowing the voices of the others to fill my head.
It was Sam.
I'm coming home.
In my mind, I could almost see him nodding sympathetically and the pain engulfed me again. I didn't bother trying to hide how I was feeling. Everyone would know soon enough anyway.
The pain surfaced as I ran, nearly choking me.
I was drowning, and I was desperate for anything to keep me alive. Anything to keep the deep blue water from filling my lungs and suffocating me. The only thing (or person) that could keep me from going completely under probably didn't ever want to see me again. But I had to try. Somehow, I wold get her to speak to me.
I closed my eyes and one tear escaped as I sped off into the woods again, hoping that maybe somehow I'd be able to survive the clouds without the help of my sun. My light. My Bella.
The faster I ran, the more I was compelled to return; the more determined I became to change her mind.
Soon enough, I was too tired and too hungry to continue. So I stopped and layed down in a field, gazing up at the stars. For the moment, I would stay in my wolf form. Just incase.
Bella. I sighed, absentmindedly picturing her face in the stars. I'll be home soon.
Just as I started to drift off, a snapping twig made my ears perk up. Sniffing the air, I caught scent of something - no, someone - very familiar.
I stood abruptly, staring off cautiously in the direction of the noise. I was about to lay back down when a pale figure appeared at the edge of the field, staring at me cautiously. Whoever it - no, she - was wasn't deathly pale, not like them, but was still slightly untanned for the usual human. Her brown hair lay flat against her face as her gaze darted down to something in her hand.
Just as I was about to dart, a light flashed on and I blinked rapidly, disoriented. A small gasp sounded from the human and, as I looked in her direction, I realized why the scent had seemed so familiar. My eyes flashed quickly from her face down her figure, committing in to memory, before I smelt him as well. He was somewhere near by.
My plan would have to wait until later.
Damn. I growled slightly and she backed up imperceptibly before speaking.
"Jacob?" Her smooth voice caressed me and brought me comfort that I hadn't found in such a long time. "Jacob!" As soon as she realized it was me, she ran over - stumbling only once - before enveloping me in a bonecrushing hug. I pressed myself against her and took a deep breath, her scent filling my nostrils and giving me hope. As soon as she had stopped hugging me, I backed up slightly and gave her a wolfy grin before licking her face from her chin to her forehead. She giggled uneasily and slapped me playfully before sitting down and gesturing to a spot next to her in the field. For a moment, my mind registered that Edward probably wouldn't like this very much. But, I couldn't care less at this point. Bella was with me, and that was all that mattered.
My Bella.

I met Imed Amri at the BlackBerry booth at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. He is an engineer and professor at the Esprit engineering school in Tunis, Tunisia. He had strong interest in our upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform, with its focus towards Open Standards and Open Source. He appreciated our new developer commitment and expressed a strong will for cooperation between Tunisian mobile developers and RIM and thus was born the idea of creating the first BlackBerry Developer Group in Tunisia.
A few weeks later, I met Salma and Sana in Paris during the BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour. They are both professors on Imed's team. They agreed to lead the creation of the BlackBerry Developer Group in Tunis and, with our help, provide the local developers in Tunis with a BlackBerry 10 Mini-Jam. They returned home and with the help of my colleague Jean-Paul they managed to find a sponsor and were able to get t-shirts, badges, room decoration, catering, etc… financed, without the need to stress the school budget.
I arrived in Tunis on November 27th and was picked up by Hamza, one of the BlackBerry Developer Group members. We drove to the venue and I found a large crowd of young people still very busy completing the decorations, testing the A/V setup. The next day we kicked off the Jam day with a short presentation by the school director who thanked BlackBerry for being his guest and stressed out the need for more international cooperation… we presented on the BlackBerry 10 Experience & Architecture and talked about the diversity and the openness of the BlackBerry 10 Platform. 200+ developers were very engaged by asking questions and enjoying live Cascades coding and demos. A very important agenda point of the day was the official declaration the the Tunis BlackBerry Developer Group was now open!
Before we went to the lunch break, we had a round of lighting pitches where people were asked to vote for the best app or app idea. There were a number of BlackBerry 10 apps presented, which was surprising as the Jam day was meant to inspire the devs to start implement for BlackBerry 10 but some of them were already ahead of that…
The afternoon sessions focused on Native SDK/Cascades, BlackBerry Android Runtime and @blackberryLuca's BlackBerry WebWorks session streamed in to the room from Bangkok, Thailand WebEx as Luca was attending BlackBerry Jam Asia at that day. It went very well.
The closing was in a very family like atmosphere, Hamza showed a talent of playing on the keyboard and the conference room turned up to a big disco. I very much enjoyed that part of the conference.
A few days after the Jam day, I received this video.
They prepared it to show the best moments of the conference. Thank you very much and really well done @bbdevtunisia. I hope to see you soon with more successful events like this mini Jam. Though I feel the term "mini" is not really appropriate here!

CRESTVIEW � A three-day trip to Washington, D.C. to witness Inauguration Day convinced a Bob Sikes Elementary School fourth-grader that she wants to see more.
CRESTVIEW � A three-day trip to Washington, D.C. to witness Inauguration Day convinced a Bob Sikes Elementary School fourth-grader that she wants to see more.
Justice Livingston, 10, attended President Barack Obama's second inauguration on Monday, capping a weekend of sightseeing, witnessing history unfold, and fulfilling a long-time dream.
Justice on Christmas Eve received an envelope full of materials from the White House, including a letter from the president, following a letter she wrote to Obama in November.
She also wrote a letter four years earlier, following the president's first inauguration.
�I told him I am just like him,� she said to the News Bulletin in 2009. �My daddy is black, and my mom is white.�
Last weekend, Justice's older cousins � Libby Lewis-Reeves, Tawanah Reeves and Master Sgt. Tonya Lewis, Crestview natives living in other cities � treated her to a weekend in the capital, where she could be closer than ever to her role model.
However, the National Mall and the Inaugural Parade route were so crowded that Justice and her cousins couldn't actually see the proceedings.
"We couldn't see him (Obama)," Justice said. "But we could hear him. And we heard Beyonc� sing."
Singer Beyonc� Knowles sang the national anthem during Monday's inauguration, but the energetic crowd witnessing this national event particularly interested Justice as she and her cousins approached the U.S. Capitol.
"The rush of getting there and everybody pushing was exciting," she said. "But the closer we got, everybody got happier. They (security forces) moved people into, like, little blocks. One big guy and his daughter came bouncing everybody out of their way. We just laughed at them."
Pat Mosely, her grandmother, explained the "little blocks" were roped off stalls; each contained a certain number of spectators. Officials using observation satellites could count the stalls to get an accurate estimate of the crowd, which was "at least" 1 million people, according to the politics website Politico.com.
During the trip, Justice climbed the Washington Monument. The iconic landmark was impressive even before she set foot in it, she said.
"It was wonderful just walking up to it," Justice said. "The view was, actually, wow!"
She and her cousins also visited the National Museum of African Art, and took pictures in front of government departments, including the Department of the Treasury.
"It was tiring with all the walking," Justice said. "It was good to sit sometimes, but it was fun!"
Justice is already planning her return visit to Washington, D.C. She and her grandparents, with whom she lives, are planning a spring road trip to the capital, and she hopes to return with her cousins.
"In two or three months, we should be going back," Justice said.
Now that she's attended the president's second inauguration, she's drafting another letter to send to him.
"She wants to write to him and tell them she wants to meet all of them (the first family) in the White House," Mosely said.
"Hopefully, we'll get a tour of the White House. Maybe then I'll get to meet President Obama," Justice said.

That only means you need to get laid once and for all. It's about time, considering your age and all, you know... Time to wake up and stop dreaming about mermaids.

How Microsoft's Surface Can Win the Tablet War
Jun 21, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Microsoft has introduced another new product. This one is a tablet called the "Surface." If Microsoft is not careful, it could actually be successful with this one -- if it plays its cards right, anyway. The Surface will let Microsoft compete head-to-head with Apple's iPad, Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook, and many more. Will the Surface be a hit or a flop? That depends on Microsoft.
My Pick of the Week is the new Barnes & Noble Nook with the integrated screen light. Finally, I can read in bed!
It is important to note that there are more questions about Microsoft's Surface than answers at this time. The company made the announcement -- a coming-out party. That means we know very little. The details will follow over the next several months.
First, it has to be sold and evaluated by customers and the media. Next, we have to see what customers think. And finally, we have to see what the media does with it.
As an industry analyst and consultant, I have followed and worked with many different companies when they have launched their various products and services. Some did a great job. Others missed by a mile.
It's up to Microsoft to set the mood. Right now, this is a blank page. It's not completely blank, since others are competing in the same space. We are forming our definition of what the successful model looks like, but no one really knows what this means from Microsoft's perspective.
Once the Surface hits the market, customers and the media will weigh in and decide for themselves --, good or bad. It is crucial that Microsoft create the right sense about the Surface.
So, is Microsoft ready to hit it out of the park? There are two different trains of thought on this.
2 Schools of Thought
One is no -- not based on what we have seen so far with Microsoft's smartphone efforts. It has tried to break in and be successful for a decade. Apple's iPhone and Google's Android OS have changed the space, and Microsoft is having a hard time with its new Lumia and partnership with Nokia.
Two is yes -- Microsoft seems to be awakening and changing. Look at the attention the Surface announcement attracted. Look at the new Microsoft retail stores in shopping malls -- very similar to the Apple stores.
So Microsoft looks like it is really trying to be successful in this new and changing marketplace. On the other hand, its recent rollout of the Lumia phone in partnership with Nokia still has not worked.
The launch of these new Surface tablets is not a guaranteed success by any means, but it is a possibility -- and that potential is where Microsoft should focus.
There is a secret that can put success with the Surface in Microsoft's grasp. In fact, Microsoft doesn't even have to do anything new here. Here is the secret: Copy Apple.
Apple has seen extraordinary success with its range of products and services. However, many customers are not Apple users. So if Microsoft can simply follow the Apple model, it can be successful.
That may sound easy, but everything has its challenges. This is a big if.
I have already heard from countless reporters all asking the same question: Will Microsoft succeed with its new tablet? I tell the company we want it to, of course. However, its track record with things beyond Windows over the last decade has been spotty, at best. I say if this tablet can strike the magic chord, Microsoft will succeed.
If you ask, I firmly believe most want Microsoft to succeed, even if for no other reason than we don't want the world to be ruled by only two giants, Google and Apple. We want choice.
Microsoft is changing in the mind of the consumer. It is becoming a trusted and friendly place to come home to. It has been with us for decades -- it is our baseline of thinking in this tech world.
Microsoft has to continue to change and update, similar to what SBC did when it acquired the old and tired AT&T several years ago. It took the name and successfully reinvigorated it. The AT&T of today is fresh and young and competitive.
That's what Microsoft needs to do as well, and it has begun with the stores and the smartphones and tablets. However, this ebb and flow is not fast enough.
What Microsoft Must Do
Change occurs instantly. Then we spend the rest of our time getting used to what's new: the new company; the new brand; the new image.
In addition, Microsoft needs to launch this new Surface tablet in new and different ways than it has introduced other products -- like wireless smartphones.
Can it do this? Remember the recently launched Microsoft-Nokia Lumia smartphone? That was the same old and tired model. It didn't break through the industry noise.
At this point, Microsoft reminds us of our dear old grandpa. We want it to be successful. It always was, but now it is old and tired. Microsoft has put on some fresh young clothes, but that is not radical enough.
Can Microsoft update its brand and image in the marketplace? It has several good examples. It can look at Google as a newcomer. It can look at Apple as a company that has been around the track and finally struck gold a decade ago. It can look at AT&T as an example of how to refresh a brand.
What about the device itself? Will this be a standalone tablet, or will it be part of a larger bundle with smartphones, computers and televisions? Will users store information on the device itself or in the Microsoft cloud?
There is a difference. If it is stored on the device itself, it will not be part of a bundle. If, however, it is stored in the cloud, then it can be accessed and worked on with a variety of devices. You can start a letter on your computer and finish it on the tablet.
If this is just going to be a standalone and separate device, I think the Surface's chances of success are much more difficult. If, however, this is part of a Microsoft cloud, its success is almost ensured.
Not everyone likes or wants the cloud -- not yet. So perhaps Microsoft could offer both, but it must offer the cloud. And it must talk about the cloud as the new space we are all moving too.
It must use advertising and marketing and public relations very effectively.
Can Microsoft do this? Will it? Apple does, and it is very successful. The good news is Microsoft doesn't have to create anything new. It just has to follow Apple's lead.
The Surface has to be incredible. It has to be everything the iPad is and more. Is it?
The Surface has to be part of the Microsoft cloud and a standalone device. Is it?
The Surface has to have new, exciting and inspiring marketing, advertising and public relations. Does it?
And Microsoft has to update its tired brand, and turn grandpa into a hot younger model. Can it?
These are some of the key challenges and opportunities that Microsoft faces. If it can do this, it could have a hit on its hands with the Surface. It just has to follow Apple.
Will the Surface be successful? We'll see. After years of trials and errors, does Microsoft now understand what it takes? That is the question. The answer depends on whether it knows the steps it must take -- simply copy Apple's success in the tablet space. We'll see.
This is a golden opportunity, but only if Microsoft plays its cards right.
My Pick of the Week is the new Barnes & Noble Nook with the integrated screen light. Brilliant idea!
When the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook came out, they had lots of strengths -- but also a few important weak spots that needed fixing as soon as possible. This solves one big problem.
There are basically two versions of each: black and white, and color. The black and white is more basic and strictly for book reading. It has longer battery life than the color. The color is more of a tablet computer with a screen you can read in the dark.
I love them all, but the big problem with both the basic black-and-white Nook and Kindle was they were very difficult to use unless you were in bright light. Reading in a dimly lit room was very difficult.
Now Barnes & Noble has introduced a black-and-white Nook with a backlight feature. Excellent.
This solves the problem. I fully expect Amazon to update its Kindle as well. One good idea deserves another!
Isn't competition a beautiful thing?

Unlike recent years, we didn't have the pleasure of suffering through the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race in 2011. But since we missed on that epic 5 days of Pisgah Forest racing, we decided to send Christopher and Greg to Blue Ridge Adventure's Swank 65 race instead. Todd Branham has organized the Swank 65 race on for the last 13 years, and it's a great opportunity to get a small taste of the huge trail network in the "Ranger District" of Pisgah National Forest.
Swank 65 covers about 38 miles of trail but the top pro riders still take well over three hours to finish, and many amateur riders are still trickling in after eight hours! Luckily for us racers, Todd had arranged to have New Belgium beer on tap and burgers served hot off the grill. Nothing gets mountain bikers to socialize quite like an epic ride followed by fresh burgers and great beer!
Of course we weren't just there to race on the world's best mountain bike trails, we were also there to put a new product to the test – namely Osprey Packs. We had read great things about their packs, but before we put something in the next Performance Bicycle catalog, we don't just read reviews in magazines but instead test the products in real-world conditions.
To that end, our riders Christopher and Greg saddled up with Raptor 14 and a Viper 10 hydration packs for the race. Both bags feature Osprey's 100 oz Hydraform Reservoir – able to hold plenty of water to make it from checkpoint to checkpoint. The Raptor 14 holds a bit more gear, which worked out perfect for Christopher as we was carrying a spare jacket and a GoPro camera. Meanwhile Greg enjoyed the slimmed-down profile of the Viper 10, which held just what he needed and nothing he didn't.
So what were the standout features for our racing testers? Both packs feature Osprey's awesome bite valve with a magnetic clip, which holds the hose in place even when decending Farlow Gap. Most importantly, both packs were extremely comfortable – an important feature since it took Christopher 5 hours and Greg over 7 hours to finish Swank 65. Also telling was the fact that their Osprey Packs were not alone amongst the other racers – it looks like the word is out to the mountain biking elite that Osprey makes some amazing hydration packs. In fact, at least a quarter of the packs at the race were made by Osprey. It was clear by the end of the day that Osprey makes high-quality and well thought out hydration packs and that we needed to carry them in our product lineup. Our racer's recommendations were passed along to our buying team, who have added a full array of Osprey Hydration Packs. If you're planning a big mountain bike ride this year, make sure you consider bringing along an Osprey Pack.

2015 Report Cards: All Senators
These special year-end statistics dissect the legislative records of Members of Congress during the 2015 legislative year (Jan 6, 2015-Dec 31, 2015), looking at Members who served at the end of that period. This page was last updated on Jan 9, 2016.
Look at report cards for...
- All Representatives (440)
- Safe House Seats (385)
- House Republicans (247)
- House Democrats (192)
- Serving 10+ Years (House) (169)
- All Senators (100)
- House Sophomores (73)
- House Freshmen (64)
- Competitive House Seats (55)
- Senate Republicans (54)
- Serving 10+ Years (Senate) (54)
- House Cmte. Chairs/RkMembs (53)
- Senate Democrats (44)
- Senate Cmte. Chairs/RkMembs (40)
- Senate Sophomores (16)
- Senate Freshmen (13)
Ideology Score
Our unique ideology analysis assigns a score to Members of Congress according to their legislative behavior by how similar the pattern of bills and resolutions they cosponsor are to other Members of Congress. The score can be interpreted as a conservative—liberal scale, although of course it only takes into account a small aspect of reality.
For more, see our methodology. An ideology score is not computed for Members of Congress who introduced fewer than 10 bills or who have a low leadership score, as there is usually not enough data in these cases to compute reliable statistics. Note that because on this page only legislative activity in 2015 is considered, the ideology score here may differ from those elsewhere on GovTrack.
Additional Notes
The Speaker's Votes: Missed votes are not computed for the Speaker of the House. According to current House rules, the Speaker of the House is not required to vote in "ordinary legislative proceedings." In practice this means the Speaker of the House rarely votes but is not considered absent.
Leadership/Ideology: The leadership and ideology scores are not displayed for Members of Congress who introduced fewer than 10 bills, or, for ideology, for Members of Congress that have a low leadership score, as there is usually not enough data in these cases to compute reliable leadership and ideology statistics.
Missing Bills: We exclude bills from some statistics where the sponsor's original intent is not in the final bill because the bill's text was replaced in whole with unrelated provisions (i.e. it became a vehicle for passage of unrelated provisions).
Ranking Members (RkMembs): The chair of a committee is always selected from the political party that holds the most seats in the chamber, called the "majority party". The "ranking member" (sometimes "RkMembs") is the title given to the senior-most member of the committee not in the majority party.
Freshmen/Sophomores: Freshmen and sophomores are Members of Congress whose first term (in the same chamber at the end of 2015) was the 114th Congress (freshmen) or 113th (sophomores). Members of Congress who took office within the last few months of a Congress are considered freshmen in the next Congress as well.

CLARK, NJ — The first four Cuts for Women clubs, opening this month, will be the first and only women's circuit facilities to use the Kinesis system by Technogym. The franchised circuit training facilities — two in New Jersey and one each in Ohio and Georgia — will offer the traditional cardio workout combined with hydraulic strength training equipment. However, the facilities will add a third-element: Kinesis equipment, which uses four panels of grips, cables and weight stacks to allow for 360-degree, three-dimensional resistance-based multi-plane motion.
This added third element doesn't come without a price. The franchisee startup cost for the women's facilities run $69,950, which is $30,000 more than the Cuts for Men franchises. The men's facilities don't use the Kinesis system, but that could change next year after John Gennaro, founder of the Cuts clubs, tests the Kinesis system at his corporate men's facility, he said.
Cuts for Women has a limited time exclusive agreement with Technogym to be the only women-only circuit facility using the Kinesis system. The co-ed Atlantic Clubs in New Jersey, Equinox and some other facilities already use the Kinesis equipment.

Recent advances in analytical theory and numerical methods
enable some long-standing questions about transport in one dimension to be
answered; these questions are closely related to transport experiments in
quasi-1D compounds. The spinless fermion chain with nearest-neighbor
interactions at half-filling, or equivalently the XXZ model in zero magnetic
field, is an example of an integrable system in which no conventional conserved
quantity forces dissipationless transport (Drude weight); we show that there is
nevertheless a Drude weight and that at some points its contribution is from a
new type of conserved quantity recently constructed by Prosen. Adding an
integrability-breaking perturbation leads to a scaling theory of conductivity
at low temperature. Adding disorder, we study the question of how
Anderson localization is modified by interactions when the system remains fully
quantum coherent ("many-body localization"). We find that even
weak interactions are a singular perturbation on some quantities: entanglement
grows slowly but without limit, suggesting that dynamics in the possible
many-body localized phase are glass-like. If time permits, some results
on the fractional Luttinger's theorem and the 1D limit of quantum Hall states
will be presented.

Sponge comedy prop from Goshman. Hand carved sponge dove is about the size of the real dove nearly nine inches long and three wide. This hand carved foam dove makes an excellent addition to anyone's dove act. It is very realistic looking and can be compressed for a double dove production using only one dove. From stage it will look like a real bird. For comedy effects it is hilarious. If you don't own a dove and want to do a dove effect... this is for you!
Don't let the picture fool you... it has eyes AND a beak. It's foam, compresses to fit in your hand for an unexpected production. I know it's foam, but when I see it on the counter top I go check the dove cage to see if one of the real doves has escaped... it looks momentarily realistic enough for a production / vanish. Or transpose it into a real dove. Endless possibilities here for a production / vanish / transposition. One of those props which gives you multiple routines without having to reset or get a new packet. Price point is excellent... Neilson's latex dove is $40. this is $6.00. It saves wear and tear on real doves during practice sessions. The appearance for a foam dove is very good, very bright. I'll call it 'Excellent'. - Bryan

Youths and adults visiting Lexington this week are enjoying the fellowship and the opportunity to do God's work by assisting residents with minor home repairs.
Youths and adults visiting Lexington this week are enjoying the fellowship and the opportunity to do God's work by assisting residents with minor home repairs.
"I like meeting all of the people and making new friends from all over the country," said Virginia Beach, Va., resident Sarah Grady. "It's rewarding helping others. It's nice to give my time and energy."
Grady is one of more than 320 volunteers who are participating in the seventh annual Group WorkCamp sponsored by Lexington Housing Community Development Corp. She is a part of Providence Presbyterian Church. This is her fifth summer participating with the camp and first time in Lexington.
"My favorite part has been building a relationship with other people. I enjoy learning from them and sharing what I know. I really like WorkCamp," she said.
Grant Verhagen of Wisconsin is participating in the camp for the first year. Usually in the summer his church, Calvary Bible, participates in mission trips.
"This sounded fun and interesting," he said. "I like it. I think it's cool to see other people from around the country that want to help and be closer to God. It's good meeting some new people. I like the Southern hospitality. It's nice to see everyone so welcoming and inviting."
The volunteers arrived Sunday and will stay in classrooms at Lexington Middle School until Saturday. LHCDC has identified more than 50 sites around Davidson County for the volunteers to make various repairs such as painting, building wheelchair ramps, removing debris and fixing porches.
"I think it's awesome. They are dedicated kids. This is so wonderful," said resident Rebecca Brooks, who lives on Moore Drive.
Brooks was having her front and back porches painted as well as a back room in the house. She said it's nice for the volunteers to assist residents because many of them could not pay for the work.
"They are doing a beautiful job," she said. "I'm on a fixed income. It's hard to get anything done because I don't have extra money. I really appreciate it."
The individuals are split into groups of six or more with people they have never met.
"You get to meet a lot of people and help others," said Katie Gutierrez of Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Virginia. "To me it means everyone is becoming closer to God by helping their fellow neighbor."
Ben Vantran of Maryland marked his fifth year participating in the camp. In previous years, he has traveled to New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Vantran is with Hereford United Methodist Church.
"Everywhere is different," he said. "I think it's amazing people are giving up their free time to do this. The residents are so thankful. It's great to see a community come together like this."

Like any actor, Noah Wyle prepared for his moment in the spotlight.
The former E.R. star had warned his estranged wife and two children, ages 6 and 9, that he might run into trouble with the police at a Washington D.C. protest this week.
"I think they"re really proud of the old man right now," Wyle, 40, told the Associated Press Monday while waiting to be processed after his arrest.
The actor, who now stars in TNT"s Falling Skies, was among about 100 protestors taken away in handcuffs during a Capitol Hill protest by the group ADAPT to urge Congress not to cut Medicaid.
Calling the experience "slightly surreal," Wyle was arrested just a month after his former E.R. costar George Clooney was handcuffed at a protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington.
Wyle tells AP he would "let George focus on the international; I"ll deal with the small domestic issues."

:As The Kohen Exits The Sancta
A New Edition of Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin's Tzidkat ha-Tzadik
By Josh Rosenfeld
Josh Rosenfeld is the Assistant Rabbi at Lincoln Square Synagogue and on the Judaic Studies Faculty at SAR High School.
This is his fourth contribution to the Seforim Blog.
Tzidkat ha-Tzaddik
Commentary, Notes, & Excurses Ne'imot Netzah by R. Aharon Moseson
2 Vols. 532 + 564 pp.
Arad: Makhon Ne'imot ha-Tzedek, 2015
"The Books of the 'Kohen', written by the very own hand of our Master, the Holy man of God, the Kohen Gadol, without peer, Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin, may his merit protect us… have taken an important place amongst the works of Jewish thought and Hasidut amongst the legions of those who seek God in every place. They serve as a magnet for all those who desire [to know] God, who find in it a veritable treasury of general instruction and guidance in the service of God - especially in the area of refining one's character traits, and [his words] contain entire frameworks for understanding verses in Tanakh and sections of Rabbinic stories in the Talmud and Midrashic literature."
With these words, R. Aharon Moseson introduces his impressive new edition of what is arguably the central work of the "Kohen," Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin (1823-1900), Tzidkat ha-Tzadik.[1] There is much already written on Reb Zadok and various different aspects of his thought, such that it would be redundant for me to recapitulate here,[2] although before we discuss this particular work and it's advantages over previous editions, it behooves us to spend a moment on the book Tzidkat ha-Tzadik itself.
If the rest of Reb Zadok's writings can be described as a sort of "Beit Yosef for Hasidut" (language of R. Moseson in the preface, on page 11), Tzidkat ha-Tzadik can be said to be a Shulhan Arukh, a type of concentrated version of Reb Zadok's general ideas. R. Moseson categorizes Reb Zadok's chief concerns into the following eight general categories, into which almost every single section of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik fall: (1) Divine Foreknowledge and Free Will (2) Repentance (3) Prayer (4) 'Guarding the Covenant' and Rectifying the Failure to do so (5) Human Inability to Fully Overcome Desire (=Yetzer) (6) The Interplay Between Physical Desire and Anger (7) The Trials of Desire (8) Positive Hutzpah. The reader is directed to the end of the second volume, where a number of short essays deal with some of these topics more fully.
Tzidkat ha-Tzadik was first published by the son-in-law of Reb Zadok, R. Barukh Dovid ha-Kohen in Lublin, 1902. Since then, a number of different editions of the Sefer have appeared, some of them notably censored in a number of piska'ot, or sections.[3] Beginning with the Lublin, 1913 edition,[4] a Hasid by the name of R. Yisrael b. R. Yosef Yozel of Lublin added in source references that Reb Zadok omitted from the manuscript. Later, R. Abba Zvi Naiman of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore published an index of the works of Reb Zadok, Mafte'ah Kitve Rebbe Zadok ha-Kohen mi-Lublin (2nd ed. Jerusalem, 2006), which aided locating particular topics and sources cited in Tzidkat ha-Tzadik along with many of Reb Zadok's numerous other works. The most widely-used and available edition I know of today is the red-covered, anonymously printed Jerusalem, 1998 edition. This printing has a square (as opposed to "Rashi" script) typesetting and also contains a well done topical and source index in the back put together by one R. Chaim Hirsch.
About thirty years ago, Yeshivat Beit El began to publish editions of the Reb Zadok's major works, with major additions of full quotations of the sources cited in the works, and limited indices and additional works cited for comparison and further study under the imprint of Yeshivat Har Bracha. According to the title page, their edition of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik was based off of the 1968 Jerusalem printing of R. Oded Kitov, which itself was based off of manuscript. The reason the printings are important to us, as we shall see, is because of the following statement in the Har Bracha Edition: "printed… with the addition of deleted sections copied from the very handwriting [of Reb Zadok] that have previously not been published" (Emphasis mine). All previous printings have omitted several passages from the text of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik save for the Har Bracha, 1987 Yad Eliyahu KiTov, and now, the Ne'imot Netzah editions. In the chart below, I have outlined the various censored passages, and their omissions across four printings.[5]
One of the central reasons R. Moseson cites in the preface for the decision to include the various passages that were censored in many previous editions is borne of necessity due to the misinterpretation and danger inherent in an untrained and loopy presentation of these potentially explosive passages by neophytes or worse, deliberate misrepresentation of the Kohen's words.[7] It is for this reason that R. Moseson prints these passages in an edition that enjoys the approbations of venerable Haredi authorities, although only the first two previously censored sections (nos. 54, 69) enjoy the introductions and cautionary words discussed in the preface in this new volume.
All told, this new edition of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik truly pulls back the parokhet from what for many was previously a "closed book." The explanations section, entitled Ne'imos Tzedek presents each section in a lucid, ArtScroll-esque manner, with the words of Reb Zadok bolded, and regular text filling in the various lacunae that typify this work, especially in the earlier sections. Footnotes and cross-references lead the reader to the parallel discussions in Reb Zadok's other works. The often obscure references to Rabbinic, Zoharic, Halakhic, and Hasidic literature that underlie Reb Zadok's writing are often presented in full, allowing the learner to fully grasp the paroxysm of religious revelation, the concentrated bursts of wisdom, founded upon a lifetime of deep Torah engagement that I believe is represented in each of Reb Zadok's short passages in Tzidkat ha-Tzadik, as opposed to the protracted thematic presentations that are to be seen in some of Reb Zadok's other works. Particularly helpful, especially for the latter sections of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik in which the passages become much longer, are paragraph headers containing short precis of the topic under discussion, and side notes that helpfully summarize key turns and points in the text of the elucidation. For whatever a neophyte dabbler in Reb Zadok's works' recommendation is worth, I enthusiastically encourage all those who desire to embrace and engage with the wisdom of the Kohen to explore this new, valuable edition of Tzidkat ha-Tzadik, and remain in tremendous appreciation of R. Moseson and Makhon Ne'imot Netzah's scholarly efforts.
I am deeply indebted and grateful to yedid nafshi Reb Menachem Butler and the editors of the Seforim Blog for the fantastic platform the blog serves as a virtual beis va'ad l'hakhamim and for their willingness to consider this and my previous short pieces for publication on it.
[1] While Reb Zadok's written corpus is quite large, consisting of several original works written in his own hand, some point to the Torah she-Ba'al Peh (oral Tradition) of Peri Tzadik, a monumental 5 volume collection of Reb Zadok's discourses on the Torah and Jewish calendar written by his students as the most comprehensive presentation of Reb Zadok's thought. The Peri Tzadik is known as a "closed" book, due to the length and obscurity of the presentation of Reb Zadok's discourses. Last February, a Talmid Hakham from Ashdod by the name of Y. Yakob began to release high-quality PDFs on the Otzar ha-Hokhmah forums with experimental, but extremely detailed and meticulously footnoted sections of Peri Tzadik, online here. To date, only a few sections of the discourses have received this treatment, and there is no indication from the representative of the author that there is a larger work in progress.
[2] I am in full agreement with what yedidi Dovid Bashevkin, "Perpetual Prophecy: An Intellectual Tribute to Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin on his 110th Yahrzeit," the Seforim blog (18 August 2010), available here, writes that "[t]he academic study of Reb Zadok is surely in debt to Prof. Yaakov Elman, who brought the thought of Reb Zadok to the English speaking academic world in a series of articles published over the past twenty-five years. His analysis of many of the central themes simultaneously charted new grounds in Hasidic scholarship and remain the standard from which subsequent scholarship on Reb Zadok is measured." See Yaakov Elman, "R. Zadok Hakohen on the History of Halakah," Tradition 21:4 (Fall 1985): 1-26; Yaakov Elman, "Reb Zadok Hakohen of Lublin on Prophecy in the Halakhic Process," Jewish Law Association Studies 1 (1985): 1-16; Yaakov Elman, "The History of Gentile Wisdom According to R. Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin," Journal of Jewish Thought & Philosophy 3:1 (1993): 153-187; Yaakov Elman, "Progressive Derash and Retrospective Peshat: Nonhalakhic Considerations in Talmud Torah," in Shalom Carmy, ed., Modern Scholarship in the Study of Torah: Contributions and Limitations (Northvale, NJ: Jason Aronson, 1996), 227-87; and Yaakov Elman, "The Rebirth of Omnisignificant Biblical Exegesis in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries," Jewish Studies Internet Journal 2 (2003): 199-249; and also Alan Brill, Thinking God: The Mysticism of Rabbi Zadok of Lublin (Jersey City, NJ: Ktav Publishing House, 2002). More recently, see Dovid Bashevkin, "Perpetual Prophecy: An Intellectual Tribute to Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin on his 110th Yahrzeit," the Seforim blog (18 August 2010), available here; and Dovid Bashevkin, "A Radical Theology and a Traditional Community: On the Contemporary Application of Izbica-Lublin Hasidut in the Jewish Community," Torah Musings (20 August 2015), available online here here. See, as well, the important work in Amira Liwer, "Oral Torah in the Writings of Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin," (PhD dissertation, Hebrew University, 2006; Hebrew), and see, as well, her earlier work in Amira Liwer, "Paradoxical Themes in the Writings of Reb Zadok ha-Kohen of Lublin," (MA thesis, Touro College, 1992; Hebrew), as well as in Me'At Latzadik: Anthology of Reb Zadok ha-Kohen, ed. Gershon Kitzis (Bayit Publishing, 2005), which contains essays from various Torah and Academic personalities in Israel on aspects of Reb Zadok Torah, including from R. R. Shimon Gershon Rosenberg (ShaGaR) and R. Yeshayahu Hadari.
Finally, for an attempt at a systematic presentation of Reb Zadok's thinking on particular topics across his written corpus, see R. Hanokh Ben-Arza, Tevel be-Tzedek (2 vols.; Jerusalem: Yad Eliyahu Kitov, 1999). This attractive work culls from all of Reb Zadok's works and weaves disparate statements into short, heavily footnoted essays in a clear presentation. There is also a beautiful approbation from R. Mordechai Eliyahu in the first volume.
[3] Contrary to the longer, essay-like format of some of Reb Zadok's other works (exceptions include shorter expositions like Divre Halomot, which are usually printed along with one of the more expansive works), Tzidkat ha-Tzadik is written in an almost aphoristic form, consisting of paragraph-length Torah ideas, usually prefaced with an opening line that encapsulates the Teaching. There are 264 such sections in the Sefer.
[4] Photomechanical offset reproduction, B'nei Brak, 1973.
[5] In an expanded version of this short review I propose to compare and theorize the various reasons for the specific omissions. Most, but not all of the censored piska'ot and passages deal with the doctrine of determinism and sin, or matters related to p'gam ve-tikkun ha-berit. On the latter, see for example Brill, Thinking God, 181-184.
[6] R. Moseson cites, as he does in other instances "וכמה מדפיסים החזירוה ע״פ משהעתיק אחד ממקורבי רבינו מכב יד קדשו של רבינו זי״ע" and then refers the reader to Tzidkat ha-Tzadik ha-Malei (Yad Eliyahu Kitov, 1987) published by R. Avraham Eliyahu Mokotovsky (R. Eliyahu Kitov, 1912-1976, whose father was a close Hasid of Reb Zadok and), which I have been unable to locate a copy of, although it is cited by R. Moshe Wolfson in his Emunat Itekha vol. 1, p. 24 (Parshat Vayishlah) as his source for Tzidkat ha-Tzadik no. 54.
[7] Ne'imot Netzah ed., pp. 11-12. It seems that in note ב, R. Moseson perhaps casts shade on the Har Bracha edition in writing: אכן חדשים מקרוב באו והחזירו את השמטות אלו במהדורות שלהם ואכן בלי לבאר את יש מקום לסילוף גדול כאמור.

An exciting new material from Rice University may revolutionize energy storage.
A seamless graphene/nanotube hybrid created at Rice University may be the best electrode interface material possible for many energy storage and electronics applications.
Led by Rice chemist James Tour, researchers have successfully grown forests of carbon nanotubes that rise quickly from sheets of graphene to astounding lengths of up to 120 microns ...
A house on an average plot with the same aspect ratio would rise into space.
That translates into a massive amount of surface area, the key factor in making things like energy-storing supercapacitors.
The nanotubes aren't merely sitting on the graphene sheet; they become a part of it.
... electrons see no difference, because it's all one seamless material. "This gives us, effectively, a very high surface area of more than 2,000 square meters per gram of material. It's a huge number,"...
... the massive surface area, may hold a great deal of energy in a tiny package.
Electron microscope images showed the one-, two- and three-walled nanotubes firmly embedded in the graphene, and electrical testing showed no resistance to the flow of current at the junction.

If this means that electric vehicles will now be a more viable solution, then this is great news. Unless you happen to own a chain of gas stations.
It might, if the capacitors they can "grow" scale on the order of Farads, or better, hundreds or thousands of Farads. Currently the largest capacitor one might hold in one's hand might be on the order of 100,000 microfarads, fine for a filter cap for your electronic gear, but nowhere near enough to run anything of size. Something else that went unmentioned here is the insulator used between the two capacitive surfaces, how thick it might be and what kind of operating and breakdown voltages we're talking about.
Strikes me, there's a whole lot of missing data which I wouldn't care to take for granted, especially if I were a design engineer tasked with pressing this material into service. I'd like to hear considerably more before I made any unwarranted assumptions.
If you own a chain of gas stations you have the location and facilities to install charging points and will win either way, it's the gas suppliers that stand to lose out in my opinion.
There's still the matter of the infrastructure required to supply those locations with their product. If rolling blackouts are a potential challenge now, I would think that gas stations being converted to mega charging outlets operating during peak demand hours will only exacerbate the dilema. Should batteries be developed with greatly extended range, I would assume that owners would opt to charge their vehicles over night at home, thus greatly diminishing the clientele that the former gas stations rely on to stay viable. I think this paradigm shift is unavoidable and neccessary, but will have plenty of collateral damage, and those who stand to lose will be fighting it from every possible angle.
That's certainly quite likely, but petrol stations can have hydrogen reservoirs and fuel cell powered outlets to handle peak hour electricity demand easily, as well as hydrogen direct pumping outlets for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Even if people want to charge overnight at home, that's assuming that people have a home to charge, some people live in RVs and such, also what about long distance trips well over 700km? People need recharge stations in other cities no matter what. The same reason people buy bottled water on the go is often the same, they have a tap at home but they still buy it from a shop.
I don't disagree - there will always be a need for charging stations, particularly for people like me who would invariably forget to plug in when I got home from work. The hydrogen scenario is a good point. Perhaps if that becomes the norm, many will opt to not charge at home altogether. Gas stations would be wise to start exploring that technology sooner than later.
I've been known to let my phone die in fits of extreme laziness, because getting up to plug it in is such a hassle, I'll just charge it in the car on the way to work in the morning. I could see myself taking the same approach to charging my car. Lol - procrastination and forgetfulness do need a work-around.
Right Future - bad if you own gas stations.
I've been closely following the development of graphene and carbon nanotubes with regards to their developments at UCLA and Duke university as well as other similar developments to this, it's an exciting time for this kind of material and also the various nanocomposites that can also be used as catalytic surfaces in proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cell electrodes (which don't corrode in the same way that titanium or platinum electrode coatings do). So this is relevant to supercapacitors/ultracapacitors but also integrated circuits and really all forms of electrical componentry. Thanks for this post, very interesting, I think this will have a huge impact on transport but also make storage of energy in the home from photovoltaic cells and wind turbines/microbial generated electricity really a lot more elegant.
True. If an efficient, high capacity storage ability that doesn't require half of your house devoted to it - or Donald Trumps checkbook to install it were available the individual home could be off the grid. The increasing capacity of solar voltiac and the decressing cost of same would make it affordable to most homeowners.
Your local power company will love it....not.

The gubernatorial team of Lolo Matalasi Moliga and Sen. Lemanu Peleti Mauga took an early lead in yesterday's run off race hours before polls were closed at 6 p.m., leading in the local and off island absentee ballots, as well as all five polling stations in the Manu'a Island group.
Counting of the local and off island absentee ballots was held at the Election Office in Tafuna, where a total of 659 ballots were counted, with 340 to the Lolo and Lemanu and 319 to the Faoa and Taufete'e.
Less than ten minutes into the counting process, Chief Election Officer, Soliai Tuipine Fuimaono halted the process, telling a senior Election official — who was the caller — to slow down a bit and not go too fast.
Soliai said he wanted to make sure that the outcome of the count is not questioned at a later time. He then ordered his staff to re-count all paper ballots already counted to make sure they match with the total so far on the chalk board — and they did. Soliai then called for the counting to resume and in a manner that was not too fast.
There were no "spoiled" ballots — which are ballots not counted due to problems such as having boxes for both candidates marked, or a ballot which was left blank.
Asked later as to the total number of off-island absentee ballots received for the run off — which has been a major issue in past elections — Soliai told Samoa News that he will have those numbers sometime soon.
During the 2008 run off race, a total of 606 ballots were counted and this included only 26 off-island ballots received in time to be included in the special election.
At yesterday's absentee ballot counting, poll watchers and news reporters signed a form promising they would not publicly release the results until the polls were closed at 6 p.m.
The five polling stations in the Manu'a island group completed their voting process yesterday around 11 a.m. after all electors on the voter rolls had cast their ballots. Once the polls were closed, the counting process got underway and was completed about an hour later.
Unofficial results from the five polling stations show Lolo and Lemanu with 178 votes compared to their opponents, Faoa and Taufete'e with 97 votes.
On Tutuila, some small polling stations in outlying villages also closed early, following by the counting process with the results called into the Election Office before election officials and ballot boxes were escorted by police back to the Election Office.
