Pictures: Rejected Florida license plates (Warning: contains profanity)
A committee at Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has reviewed more than 1,800 vanity plate requests in the last 10 years. The ones that get rejected often have objectionable language, sexual innuendo and more. Sometimes, harmless ones -- like G8R H8R -- don't make the cut either. Here's a select look at some rejected plates:

Summary View help for Summary
This study examined the effect of exposure to violence on juveniles. It was specifically concerned with juveniles' perceptions of violence in schools and communities and how exposure to violence served as a risk factor for juvenile drug and alcohol use and participation in other delinquent activities. It also sought to develop a more complete picture of the context and consequences of violence in schools. The data for this study were drawn from the NATIONAL SURVEY OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1995 (ICPSR 2833). The data were collected through a national probability telephone sample of 4,023 juveniles and their parents or guardians. The current study drew primarily on the questions that were asked about respondents' experiences witnessing violence, their own victimization, peer and family deviance, their own delinquent activities, and drug and alcohol use.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
This study examined the effect of exposure to violence on juveniles. It was specifically concerned with juveniles' perceptions of violence in schools and communities and how exposure to violence served as a risk factor for juvenile drug and alcohol use and participation in other delinquent activities. The study sought to determine whether exposure to violence increased abuse, dependence, and regular use of drugs and alcohol, while controlling for demographic characteristics, family substance use, and peer deviance. Another objective of the study was to develop a more complete picture of the context and consequences of violence in schools. In particular, the study examined the effects of the type of violence witnessed, how recently the violence was witnessed, the relationship of the offender and victim to the witness, and whether the witness felt at risk during the incident.
Study Design View help for Study Design
The data for this study are from the NATIONAL SURVEY OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1995 (ICPSR 2833). The current study drew primarily on the questions that were asked about respondents' experiences witnessing violence, their own victimization, peer and family deviance, their own delinquent activities, and drug and alcohol use. The NATIONAL SURVEY OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1995 (ICPSR 2833) consisted of a national probability telephone sample of 4,023 juveniles between the ages of 12-17 who (1) were living in United States households with telephones, (2) resided with a parent or guardian, and (3) could converse in English or Spanish. All sample selection and interviewing was done by Schulman, Ronca, and Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI), a New York-based survey research team. All interviews with both parents and adolescents were conducted using Computer- Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) technology. After determining that the household contained one or more eligible adolescents, interviewers asked to speak to a parent or guardian. One parent or guardian in each household was interviewed briefly to establish rapport, secure permission to interview the targeted adolescent, and to ensure the collection of comparative data to examine potential nonresponse bias from households without adolescent participation. Parents and guardians were provided the opportunity to call a toll-free number to confirm the authenticity of the study. Whenever possible, adolescents were interviewed immediately following the parent or guardian interviews. Otherwise, appointments were scheduled when possible or blind callbacks at different times of the day or days of the week were made. As an incentive for participation, adolescent participants received a certificate of participation in the "National Survey of Adolescents" and a check for five dollars as compensation for their time. From the surveys of parents and adolescents, the principal investigators created one data file by attaching the data from the parents to the records of their respective adolescents.
Sample View help for Sample
The NATIONAL SURVEY OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1995 (ICPSR 2833) consisted of two subsamples, a national probability household sample of 3,161 adolescents and a probability oversample of 862 adolescents residing in central city areas of the United States, for a total sample of 4,023. Because the parent or guardian interviews were conducted prior to the adolescent interviews, the 4,023 participants in the parent sample were also selected from a national probability sample of households and a probability oversample of central city households. To construct the initial national probability sample, a multistage, stratified, area probability, random-digit- dialing sampling procedure that had four steps was used. First, the United States was stratified geographically by Census region and a population-based subsample allocation was developed for each geographic stratum. In other words, the number of households drawn for the sample from each geographic stratum was allocated in proportion to the actual distribution of the population residing within each stratum, according to the most recent Census estimates. In the second step, telephone banks within each geographic stratum were systematically selected utilizing the comprehensive database of working telephone banks maintained by Schulman, Ronca, and Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI). Third, random-digit-dialing was used to sample telephone households within the telephone banks selected in the second stage. Nonworking household (e.g., business) numbers were immediately replaced by other numbers selected in the same fashion as the initial numbers. Non-answering numbers were called again four times before being replaced. In the fourth step, an adult respondent in each household was screened to determine if there were any adolescents aged 12-17 currently living in the household or if any had lived in the household at least four months during the previous year. In households with multiple eligible adolescents, a systematic selection (i.e., "most recent birthday" technique) was made to determine which eligible individual would be designated as the respondent. Construction of the central city oversample followed the same procedures except for the initial geographic stratification step. This step was replaced using the census classification of counties by types of place and specifying the target population as households located within these urban counties. Adolescents who were potentially excluded from the study included those residing in institutional settings, in households without a parent or guardian (e.g., emancipated minors, married adolescents living on their own) or in a house without telephones, those who did not speak English or Spanish, and those whose parents did not give permission for them to be interviewed.

Sorting & Searching
The purpose of sorting is to put a sequence of data records in ascending or descending order based on a sorting key. For example, to sort student records based on last name, or sort football player records based on batting average. The problem of sorting data has been around a long, long time. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the performance of two well known sorting algorithms: bubble sort and selection sort. We will do this by calculating the CPU times to sort different types of input data (unsorted, semi-sorted, and sorted). There are two ways to generate unsorted data for sorting experiments. The first way is to use a random number generator and create N values within a range [L..H]. This is like rolling dice over and over again. The second method starts with sorted data and randomly shuffles data around to create unsorted data. This is essentially what we do when we shuffle a deck of cards. Once the sorted data re produced, a specified value (the input "key") within the sorted data can be found by employing different searching techniques.
Program Specification
You are required to design, implement and test a program in C++ to generate N values within a certain range [L..H]. The well known sorting algorithms, bubble sort and selection sort are then applied to the unsorted set of data. The performances of these methods are measured by calculation the CPU running time of each. Given an input key, a specified data can then be searched within the sorted data. The developed program should perform the following operations :
a) Random Generation of Unsorted Values
Using a number generator, the program is to create N values within a range [L..H]. You will need to define a function for generating random numbers. The function will then be called within the main program.
Example input/output might be: ( the output is in italic)
Enter the number of values to be generated: 6
Enter the range : 50
The unsorted generated sequence is :
34 12 6 47 22 19
b) Sorting
You will need to add two functions to your program to sort the list generated in part (a), using bubble sort and selection sort algorithms. Since the output of both algorithms will be the same (sorted list), you will need to only display the result for one of them.
Example input/output might be:
The sorted list is now:
6 12 19 22 34 47
c) Measuring the running-time
The performance of two sorting algorithms should be compared by calculating the CPU time of each algorithm for the same set of data. Calculate the run times for N=1000. If the times are too small to measure, increase N as needed until you can get a CPU time greater than a few seconds. Stop your program if it uses more than a minute of CPU time and decrease N accordingly.
Example input/output might be:
Enter the number of values to be generated: 5000
Enter the range: 100
The unsorted generated sequence is:
34 88 61 47 22 19 77 12 93.............
The sorted list is now:
12 19 22 34 47 61 77 88 93.....
The bubble sort-algorithms sorted the 5000 value in 2.34 second
The selection sort-algorithms sorted the 5000 value in 2.05 second
d) Shuffle the Sorted List
You will need to add a function named, Shuffle to your program, to allow for shuffling the sorted list in part (b). By shuffling the sorted list, we create a semi-sorted list. Shuffling data values inside data array is done by swapping random pairs of values. For example, shuffling three times, will swap 3 random pairs of values. Try a few different values of the "shuffles" parameter to create data that looks semi-sorted (some sequences of values are in the correct order, but others are out of order. Try a few different values of the "shuffles" parameter to choose a value that creates data that looks semi-sorted (some sequences of values are in the correct order, but others are out of order).
Example input/output might be:
How many times would you like to shuffle the sorted list? 2
The semi-sorted list is now:
6 12 19 22 34 47
6 19 12 22 47 34
e) Searching for a Specific value
You will need to add a function named, Search to your program to allow searching for a specific vale in the sorted list. You are recommended to use the Binary Search algorithm because of its efficiency. Once the function is called within the main program, specifying the key value, the function should return the first occurrence of the value in the list. Your program should also calculate the time for finding the key value.
Example input/output might be:
The sorted list is now:
6 12 19 22 34 47
Enter the key value to be searched: 22
The first occurrence of 22 is at position 4
It took 0.0 4 second s to find the value.
Task 1: Algorithm Design
You are required to produce a top-level design for your program using pseudocode or flowcharts. In addition to your design, a Function Table should also be provided.
Task 2: Program Development
You are required to implement your designs in C++ Programming Language. Your program should be properly laid out and should be modular, making sure that software engineering aspects of modularity and reusability are fully considered.
Task 3: Program Testing & Documentation (10%)
Devise a test plan carefully, making sure that the purpose of the particular test is clearly stated, the data for each test is specified (that is, any inputs expected from the user or the programmer), and a description of the expected result from the test are also provided.
Use the test plan to test your program and document your findings. You should provide a hard copy of the actual output from your program, in the same order as your test plan and cross-referenced to it.
You may like to test some functions separately. Any aspects of your program which you do not test will be assumed not to work.
Your program must handle incorrect input data. Your testing should then include incorrect input data.
You are required to provide an annotated code listing in addition to your proof of testing.
Task 4: Program Evaluation
You should evaluate your program, carefully identifying its strengths, weaknesses, and possible areas of improvement. You should also comment on the extent to which your solution correctly satisfies the specification.
Tasks 1 to 4 should be attempted in the order given.
For Task 1, only the final stage of pseudocode/flowchart design must be provided.
An annotated program listing with meaningful and informative comments must be provided.
A detailed test plan and full details of the results should be included in final documentation. For each error uncovered, explain how the problem was detected and what you did to correct it.
Also, an evaluation of the solution covering the strengths, weaknesses and suggestions for enhancements should be provided.

I am an artist, a mother, and an entrepreneur. My artwork and tutorials are regularly featured in Cloth Paper Scissors and Cloth Paper Scissors PAGES magazines. I am following my passions and creating art that I love for the sheer joy of it! I hope it resonates with you as well.
For a glimpse behind-the-scenes and to see more of my artwork, including my one-of-a-kind artist books, newest pieces, works in progress, tutorials and more, please visit my blog at: http://BookSmithStudio.com
I love meeting fellow artists and art lovers! Join me on my blog, Google Plus, Twitter and FaceBook, or sign-up for my Newsletter. I look forward to connecting with you!
In 2013 I was awarded the FAA Artistic Merit Award, fondly referred to as the "Tony Award." I am truly honored to be recognized by my peers for my artistic talents!
I believe music and art have the power to move and inspire; to change the way we see the world. My award winning Music Lovers series combines my passions for music, art and self-expression in a signature style uniquely my own. I've had so much fun creating this series, everything from brainstorming ideas, photography, and getting my hands dirty creating mixed-media backgrounds, textures and elements, to working with the digital techniques that bring it all together. There are no shortcuts or magic buttons; each piece is built up layer by layer and stroke by stroke. I've been told (more than once) that you can hear the music when you look at the artwork in this series; I certainly do. They are perfect for any music lover or musician!
As a natural extension of this series, I am creating a Dance-inspired series using the same signature style. After all, when I hear music my body moves and my spirits lift. Dancing is often inevitable!
Of course, like any mixed-media artist my interests do not stop there. I am passionate about creating hand-made, one-of-a-kind artist books. I experiment with a variety of materials and processes in my art. I also teach and write tutorials to share my techniques with other artists. One of many tutorials published in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine this year demonstrates how I create my award winning "Wee Planets." I discovered Wee Planets as an art form several years ago and fell in love. It is a way of viewing a rural or urban scene as a mini world unto itself, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and unexpected. You can imagine yourself exploring a whole new planet with no rules except those you write yourself.
Escape. Dream. Believe.

I saw nothing aggressive in his manner. I continued to eat, and Cash was still laying down next to me. Genghis stopped on my left side, and sat. (The dogs are well trained to not beg). With literally no warning, Cash attacked Genghis across my lap. I did not see any posturing or stiffening to warn me of this.
pitbullgirl42 wrote:I am more than willing to separate when I cannot supervise, (as I have always done with any foster dogs I have had, and have also always done with Genghis and Cash), but have a very hard time accepting that these two dogs can never be together again (or that Cash cannot be with any other dog), because they get along SO well outside of situations where there is food involved.
DemoDick wrote:Regardless of breed or resource guarding, etc., I strongly suggest that everyone feed their dogs alone in a secure crate. It just makes sense.
However, take resource guarding out of the picture for a moment and consider something.
What would you tell a client who brings you a Jack Russel Terrier from working bloodlines who insists that with proper training and supervision, the dog will be able to safely interact with her pet rat? You find yourself in a very similar situation right now. You have dogs that aren't getting along, and it's getting worse. Please consider that this may not be a resource guarding issue at all. Because even if it is, you still have to deal with the genetic direction your dogs lean. And that is towards dog-aggression, not because of fear, dominance, or resource guarding, but for its own sake.
Most people, even those with years of experience in the breed, don't readily recognize what serious dog aggression looks like in Pit Bulls, because their particular brand is deceptive. It looks like play to those who haven't seen it. Then the dog "just snaps" and silently attacks another dog. In reality, he didn't "just snap," he just started acting like a Pit Bull for the first time and it shocked the owner. You don't see pit dogs barking and snarling in a match. They just lock up and fight. They may bark or scream before being released, but this is not a warning, it is due to frustration.
Plenty of Pit Bull owners never have to deal with dog-aggression in their households, until the day they do. Then they end up, at minimum, with a seriously injured dog, or worse, a dead one. They will usually go one of two routes at this point, if they are responsible. They will (1) accept the need to crate and rotate or (2) get out of the breed all together.
As mnp13 mentioned, we have two boys who potentially could be out unsupervised, with a LOT of work. Why don't we? Well, what's the point? The only reason to do so would be to make OUR lives more convenient because crating and rotating is a pain in the ass. We would probably still end up with a fight any way. So why bother?
Please, crate and rotate. Your dogs will thank you.

Dog_Shrink wrote:Like you I am also a behaviorist and I agree that at least the 2 males should be crated in the presence of food, feeding in the crate for at least 2 of the 3 (doesn't sound like the girl really needs it) and let them to continue to interect with eachother when you know it's a non-confrontational situation (IE NO food).
It sounds like Cash is definately entering into the age of sexual maturity and feeling his oats dispite just being neutered (which as you know could take up to 6 months to totally have the testosterone decrease inhis system). At this age a male will try to increase his rank in the pack and become more in control of "assets" such as females. The age difference betwen your males also plays a HUGE part into Cash's desire to be assertive since he likely feels the "old man" is ready to drop down in postions that he is totally willing to take by might if need be. Your fights are going to get worse and your older male is going to be more aggressive with each response to Cash's instigations.
You are going to end up in a situation where Cash and at least your older boy are going to have to crate and rotate (which I am NO fan of. I would rather rehome the instigator than crate and rotate simply because that is no quality of life IMO).
If Cash is acting like this with the coming of the age of sexual maturity how is he going to be at 2 when he reaches social maturity???There is anamocity now amongst your pack and Your gal and older fella are going to gang up on cash one of these days and have a tug of war.
I think your older boy bit you on the bum out of sheer anxiety not any kind of personal attack. Maybe more of an instance of displacement biting than anything. IMO and I certainly hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid that Cash will take his food issues to other resources in the future such as toys or attention, but hopefully with the waining of testosterone you might be able to avoid that issue.
[/quote]You already know the answers that you are asking for hon... you've been in the industry long enough to know which way this is going. Unfortunately pits have beenbred for too long to increase that dog on dog aggression and with a lot of the unethical breeding going on these days it's probably worse than you could imagine. This pup being found stray at such a young age only reinforces this theory that he was bred of aggressive lines since a COE breeder would certainly try to breed that trait down in their lines.

Dog_Shrink wrote:Breeders have been trying for years to breed down the aggressive traits in Pitbulls to make them a more balanced dog with out destroying the qualities taht makes them what they are. To say that a pit isn't going to be a pit anymore just because the aggressive nature has been bred down is niave. Personally I give kudos to the breeders that are trying to accomplish this and garner the dog a better reputation. So you would rather keep the aggressive nature the way it is rather than try to make the dog more balanced? Who does that honestly help?

Tip 2: Produce a group of specifications you want to use to evaluate and weed out Florida Fashion Design universities. There are heaps of possible criteria, such as degrees offered, major programs and minor programs, location, prices, size, caliber, standing, ranking, placement record, staff sizing, and others...
Tip 3: Compose a listing of possible schools and education centers. There can be stacks of resources to help you to compose a listing of potential Florida Fashion Design schools.
Tip 4: Assemble all of your info and data about each of the school you're debating. Go to every training website and gather the necessary data.
Tip 5: Utilise the specifications from Tip 2 to trim your list of universities to a more minor group. Get the list down to a number you are comfy with.
Tip 6: Inspect the Florida Fashion Design universities on your listings from Tip 5. Generally you should inspect every Florida Fashion Design university on your short group, but if you can't travel to it in person, get a video or get a virtual tour.
Tip 7: Apply to the schools that made the cut after the first 6 tips. Carefully fill in the applications and send them to the Florida Fashion Design colleges.
Tip 8: While you're waiting to hear from the universities you applied to, begin to read the books or the Web to find subsidizations. There are heaps of resources to find scholarship info.
Tip 9: Make the final decision from amongst the Florida Fashion Design schools that accepted you. Certainly the most laborious choice of all. . . be certain to read all your notations, view the financing packages, and make your final decision!
Tip 10:Best of Luck to your College Education! We hope these tips help you find the perfect college.

Hotell i Mamallapuram
Located on the Bay of Bengal 60km south of Chennai, the village itself is World Heritage listed. An enchanting little seaside town, Mamallapuram is easily explored on foot or bike. It's easy to see why a good many business travellers to Chennai head here after their meetings to relax.
Most of the stone carvings, temples and manapams in Mamallapuram date to the Pallava dynasty of the 7th and 8th centuries. The sculptures have all been carved from the rock of the natural landscape – much of it granite – and are considered to be the oldest existing examples of Dravidian architecture.
The bas-reliefs are as extraordinary for the skill with which they're made as for their depiction of ordinary life. Whereas much stonework of the time depicts complex religious symbolism, in Mamallapuram, the ancient carvings show such everyday scenes as women milking buffalo.
Stone carving is by no means just an ancient art in Mamallapuram. Some of the world's best stone carvers still chip away at their wares in the city today and are internationally renowned for their work.
Mamallapuram hosts an important annual dance festival that showcases native dancing from throughout India for a month every December to January.
When to go:
The best time to visit Mamallapuram is from November to February when the weather is most pleasant. Tourist activities are severely hampered from June to September by hot and humid weather accompanied by heavy rainfall.
- Head straight to Arjuna's Penance, the world's largest bas-relief. Also known as the Descent of the Ganges, the relief depicts the legend of the descent of the Ganges from heaven to earth. Detailed carvings include realistic images of gods, demigods, people, elephants and monkeys.
- Wander past the Shore Temple, one of the oldest temples in south India. Originally built in the 8th century and facing the Bay of Bengal, it has suffered some erosion but remains a magnificent sight today.
- Marvel at the Five Rathas, which are rock-cut temples named after the Pandava brothers and Draupadi of the Indian epic Mahabharatha. Four of the five rathas are believed to have been carved from a single rock formation.
- Walk over the main hill to see many mandapams, including the most impressive one, Krishna Mandapa, depicting a lifelike scene of Lord Krishna.
- Dare to stand under Krishna's Butterball, a giant boulder perched seemingly precariously on the slope of a hill. It is a natural phenomenon that seems to defy all the laws of physics.
- Pop into the Sculpture Museum to see more than 3,000 sculptures in stone, wood and metal.
- Hire a local boat (and captain) to go fishing.
- Take a walk on the beautiful sandy beach.
- Gorge yourself on the exquisite seafood at The Wharf, listed as one of the best restaurants in Asia by the Miele guide.
- Explore the town by night, when all the stone work is lit up. It's a magical experience.

Hazmat spill in Summit County closes I-70 for more than 6 hours
Summit Daily News
Vail, CO Colorado
SILVERTHORNE, Colorado – Eight bags of hydrated lime powder that toppled off the back of a semi-truck Wednesday morning caused eastbound I-70 to close for clean-up for six-and-a-half hours.
Eastbound lanes were closed from Vail to Silverthorne until 5:30 p.m. Wednesday after highway traffic began to gridlock in Frisco.
The highway was coated in lime when a flatbed truck dropped several bags of the powder at mile marker 204 on the hill between Frisco and Silverthorne. Lime is a corrosive chemical that can cause burns to the skin and eyes as well as lungs and respiratory passages if inhaled.
Clean-up efforts were delayed as local emergency responders waited for a Colorado State Patrol hazmat team to arrive from another incident in Weld County.
It was still unclear Wednesday afternoon whether the spill could impact the Blue River, emergency officials said.
"We're about a half mile away from the Blue River," Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue spokesman Steve Lipsher said Wednesday. "The Colorado State Patrol is sending a hazmat team up to help us evaluate the risk and figure out the likelihood of this reaching the river in any concentration great enough to endanger the … fishery."
The spill was not considered to be a public health risk, according to Lipsher.
Lake Dillon, Copper Mountain Fire Department and Red, White and Blue Fire teams responded to the scene first and began sweeping up as much of the chemical as possible in full hazmat gear.
The spill was not caused by any kind of accident, and no serious injuries were reported, officials said.
"There's no crash," State Patrol spokesman Joshua Lewis said Wednesday. "We're not investigating anything like that."
The driver pulled off at the Silverthorne exit when he noticed the spill, began to attempt to clean it up and suffered minor injuries from exposure to the chemical. He refused medical treatment, according to Lipsher.
A 65-year-old man who was a bystander to the spill was treated for lime exposure at Summit Medical Center and was released, a hospital spokesperson said.

BikeRadar first heard of the Quella One fixie at the end of last year. Now we've got our hands on a test bike and can give readers a closer look at the bike.
This year's market is flooded with fixed gear models, and at the Quella's £389 price point there's a lot of competition out there. So what sets the One apart from its rivals? Well, the answer is in the detail and the finishes available.
There's one build on offer, so alongside a vintage-style Cr-Mo frame each bike gets Quella's 50mm deep-section rims, their 400mm bullhorn bar and a Brooks-esque saddle from Velo.
A flip-flop hub is also standard, so you're not tied to a fixed setup, while an integrated tug keeps the chain tight whatever your decision. A simple five-arm, 42-tooth chainset pairs to either the fixed or freewheel sprocket, both of which have 16 teeth. Two dual pivot alloy brakes are supplied with each bike. Many of the rear brakes will never be fitted, of course, but they're included to conform with legal regulations.
Quella currently offer a choice when it comes to the One's finish. The first option is an Access range, which includes a selection of predetermined colour schemes and drops in at £389. But if you're after something a bit more personal then Quella offer what they call an Individual range. You get to pick from more than 200 colour schemes, with chrome, matte and even pearlescent finishes. Pricing stands at £419.
The One is available in three sizes – 52, 55 and 59cm – and Quella claim a weight of 8kg (17.6lb). We've also just had word that Halfords will be selling the One online from the end of March. For more information see quellabicycle.com.
We'll be posting a full review in the near future, but if you can't wait that long the Quella will be featuring in the next issue of Urban Cyclist magazine, available at myfavouritemagazines.co.uk. Alternatively, you can purchase a digital copy by downloading the free Cycling Plus app.

NASA's Space Environment Simulation Lab Chamber A, which is used by the agency to to subject components of the James Webb Space Telescope to the rugged conditions it will encounter in space when it is launched in 2018. To achieve the super cold temperatures of outer space inside Chamber A, NASA turned to Jefferson Lab and its cryogenics experts to help devise a new cooling system. Chamber A was originally built in the 1960s to test the Apollo Service and Command module for its trip to and from the moon.
The Jefferson Lab cryogenics group re-designed a decades-old cryogenics plant, integrating existing components with a new thermo-siphon design and applying a recently patented process developed at the DOE's Jefferson Lab known as the Floating Pressure - Ganni Cycle. These, together with other improvements, led to the development of one of the world's most efficient cryogenic refrigeration systems.
The breakthrough technology is making it possible for NASA to replicate the super cold temperatures of outer space so that it can test components of the James Webb Space Telescope.
As the U.S. sweated through its warmest summer on record outside, an enormous testing chamber at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston reached its coldest temperatures yet on the inside, cooled by one of the world's most efficient cryogenic refrigeration systems. "Chamber A" is mammoth, having a hinged door over 12 meters in diameter, a height of over 36 meters, and a diameter of almost 20 meters. Designed by members of the U.S. Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab's Cryogenics group in Newport News, VA, the system reached its target temperature of 20 Kelvin, about -424 degrees F, for the first time in May and again during commissioning tests in late August. It reached its target temperature in just over a day and maintains a steady temperature with less than a tenth of a degree in variation over a load temperature range of 16 to 330 Kelvin, all with no loss of helium and using half the liquid nitrogen than comparable systems. But what is even more remarkable is its ability to maintain design efficiency down to a third of its maximum load. "The range of load temperature and capacity while maintaining peak efficiency and temperature stability is unprecedented," said Venkatarao (Rao) Ganni, deputy Cryogenics Department head at Jefferson Lab, and a key member of the system design team. The successful cool down is great news for NASA, which will use the Space Environment Simulation Lab Chamber A to subject components of the James Webb Space Telescope to the rugged conditions it will encounter in space when it is launched in 2018. The Jefferson Lab cryogenics group has pioneered new technologies that led to improvements in the efficiencies of the laboratories' cryogenics systems, applying the concepts of its patented Floating Pressure (known as the Ganni Cycle) and other improvements to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency and stability of cryogenics operations.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Bill Taylor, Lipscomb's director for cross country and track & field, has announced the addition of Daniel Goetz as cross country and track & field assistant coach and operations coordinator.
"We are really excited to add Daniel to our staff," Taylor said. "He is a young up and coming coach with experience at a variety of schools.
"He fits our culture extremely well and will be a great asset to our programs. I look forward to working with Daniel, to helping him grow as a coach, and to watching his impact on our athlete and team success."
Before coming to Lipscomb, Goetz served as an assistant coach at East Tennessee State, working with the men's and women's distance runners.
While at ETSU, both men's and women's teams improved significantly with the men finishing runner-up at the Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championship, as well as the indoor and outdoor track and field championships. In outdoor track Goetz helped guide the men to conference titles in the 1500m and 3000m Steeplechase.
Goetz is eager to help the Lipscomb programs become an even greater force in the conference as well as nationally.
"This is a great opportunity," Goetz said of his decision to join the Lipscomb staff. "One of the things that stuck out to me was that everyone is academically driven. I think that is great to have people who are willing to work hard in all areas of their life whether it is academics, athletics or spiritual."
While coaching at ETSU Goetz watched the Lipscomb program and was impressed with that he saw.
"What really stuck out with me in track meets were the Lipscomb athletes supporting their teammates even if it wasn't their discipline competing," Goetz said. "There was a lot of team bonding, whether it was a really good or really bad result. They enjoyed being with each other, being a part of the team and helping to build the Lipscomb tradition."
In January 2011, he volunteered with the track and cross country teams at the University of Tennessee while pursuing a master's in kinesiology with a double focus in biomechanics and exercise physiology. He taught activity classes as a graduate teaching assistant in the kinesiology department and observed the Tennessee track & field staff before becoming a part of the group in 2011.
A 2010 graduate of Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., Goetz began his coaching career that same year as an assistant for the Lions cross country team. He helped the men's squad post a seventh-place finish at the NAIA National Championships, the best in school history.
"What really drew me to Lipscomb was something that I have been missing since I was at Bryan," Goetz said. "It is the idea of competing for things bigger than yourself. Track and cross country should have a place in your life, but you can't make it everything.
"I feel like it is a family here. I haven't felt that since I was at Bryan."
An all-state performer in cross country and track in his only season of participation as a senior at Chattanooga Christian School, Goetz was the first recruit by the Bryan program in 2005.
He qualified four times for the NAIA Cross Country Championships and earned All-America acclaim in the mile in 2008 for a fourth-place finish on the oval. He also was rewarded for his work in the classroom, picking up NAIA Academic All-America accolades in 2009 and 2010.

Reproductive Trade-Offs in Skeletal Health and Physical Activity among the Indigenous Shuar of Ecuadorian Amazonia: A Life History Approach
Madimenos, Felicia C., 1980-
MetadataShow full item record
Madimenos, Felicia C., 1980-
Reproductive effort is a central element of human biology and ecology. Particularly for females, reproduction is energetically demanding, with elevated metabolic costs during pregnancy and lactation, followed by high child care costs. To satisfy energetic needs, women can adopt various physiological and behavioral strategies. On a physiological level, the energetic requirements of offspring may be met by adjusting metabolic allocation and/or drawing on maternal bodily reserves. On a behavioral level, women may reduce energy expenditure and/or increase energy intake. This study examined reproductive trade-offs in activity and skeletal health among the indigenous Shuar forager-horticulturalists of Ecuadorian Amazonia and had two main objectives. First, this research examined trade-offs in energy use during female reproductive states and behavioral adjustments made by females and males to meet high reproductive demands. Second, this study investigated skeletal health profiles among Shuar, as well non-Shuar Colonos, to identify the relationships between female reproductive factors and skeletal health. Research was conducted among adults in four Morona-Santiago communities. Skeletal health was measured using calcaneal ultrasonometry, and physical activity was measured using accelerometry. Extensive information on sociodemographics and reproduction was assessed through structured interviews. Age-related declines in bone mineral density (BMD) were observed for Shuar and Colonos, while Shuar BMD was significantly higher than that of other populations. These results suggest that normative data from developed countries may reflect suboptimal bone density levels. Regarding reproductive effects on skeletal health, results indicate that earlier menarcheal age and greater stature are associated with better bone health in postmenopausal life. These conclusions suggest the importance of the timing of early developmental stages in establishing bone status in adulthood. Results demonstrate that physical activity levels were similar between pregnant/lactating (P/L) and other women. However, P/L women appear to compensate for elevated energetic demands by relying on a male partner who has increased his energy expenditure, suggesting greater participation in subsistence activities. Overall, this study demonstrates the importance of biocultural strategies among women to meet high reproductive costs. Further, it emphasizes the utility of a life history framework for identifying trade-offs in physiology and behavior. This dissertation contains previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Force numerous ports that fail to build with clang over to instead always
rely on gcc. The patch uses the new USE_GCC=any code in Mk/bsd.gcc.mk to
accomplish this.
The ports chosen were ports that blocked 2 or more ports from building with
clang. (There are several hundred other ports that still fail to build with
clang, even with this patch. This is merely one step along the way.)
Those interested in fixing these ports with clang, and have clang as their
default compiler, can simply set FORCE_BASE_CC_FOR_TESTING=yes.
For those who have gcc as their default compiler, this change is believed
to cause no change.

Closure Set for Busy Sioux Falls Street
A section of a busy Sioux Falls street will be closed for just over a week, beginning on September 30, and the City Public Works Department is advising caution in the work area and on the detours.
Beginning that day, 57th Street will be closed between Old Yankton Road and Old Yankton Circle as construction crews install a new sanitary sewer line across 57th.
The City says 57th Street traffic will be detoured by way of 49th Street, Western Avenue, Louise Avenue and Interstate 229, but traffic from both Old Yankton Road and Old Yankton Circle will still have access to 57th while the work is going on.
The City says 57th Street is expected to be open again by Tuesday, October 8.

Kittie To Reunite With Bassist Trish Doan After Parting Ways With Ivy Vujic
Kittie have just announced the return of bassist Trish Doan to replace Ivy Vujic, who is set to part ways with the band.
Vujic stated, "After four amazing years of jamming with my crazy metal sisters, I am officially resigning. After a lot of touring and two albums, I feel it is time for me to move on. There are still other things for me to do in my life. Although I will always appreciate Kittie and the amazing fans we have, it does not fit my plans right now."
Frontwoman Morgan Lander says, "Ivy has been friend and partner in crime for over 4 years, we love and respect her wishes to depart from the band and move onto another phase in her life."
Trish Doan was previously in the band from 2005-2007 and offered up some serious bass lines in Kittie's 2007 release 'Funeral for Yesterday.' Doan expressed her enthusiasm about returning to the group. "I am very happy to be reunited with the Kittie family. The girls and I have remained close friends over the last 7 years and I am excited to have this amazing opportunity. I am looking forward to seeing everyone when we go back on the road this spring. I wish Ivy all the best!"
Lander adds, "Trish has been a member of our extended family since she joined the band in 2005 and we are welcoming her back into the band with open arms. We are ecstatic that she will be returning to bass duties and are looking forward to the tour this spring! We love both girls and are glad that we all remain friends, first and foremost."
Vujic will still play with Kittie in support of their latest album 'I've Failed You' at a couple of hometown Canadian dates and the Soundwave Festival in Australia later this month. Doan will then take over bass duties for their extensive North American trek that kicks off in April. See Kittie's tour dates here.

This weekend was the first time the Ravens got to exhale this offseason. Offseason? What offseason? Since winning Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, it's been non-stop for the Ravens. They had a parade through the streets of Baltimore. They lost nine starters because of retirements, free agency and a trade. They drafted some of the replacements and signed free agents to fill the gaps. They spent an afternoon at the White House with President Barack Obama. They had a lavish ceremony to receive their championship rings. In between there were OTAs and a mandatory minicamp. Now it's officially summer break for the Ravens. Here are highlights of the "offseason."

Numbers are classified according to type. The first type of number is the first type you ever learned about: the counting, or "natural" numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
The next type is the "whole" numbers, which are the natural numbers together with zero:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
(The number zero, spread from India by north-African scholars, was originally viewed by European authorities as being demonic.)

Then come the "integers", which are zero, the natural numbers, and the negatives of the naturals:
..., –6, –5, –4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
The next type of number is the "rational", or fractional, numbers, which are technically regarded as ratios (divisions) of integers. In other words, a fraction is formed by dividing one integer by another integer.
Note that each new type of number contains the previous type within it. The wholes are just the naturals with zero thrown in. The integers are just the wholes with the negatives thrown in. And the fractions are just the integers with all their divisions thrown in. (Remember that you can turn any integer into a fraction by putting it over the number 1 . For example, the integer 4 is also the fraction 1 4 .)
Once you've learned about fractions, there is another major classification of numbers: the ones that can't be written as fractions. Remember that fractions (also known as rational numbers) can be written as terminating (ending) or repeating decimals; for example, 0.5 = 2 1 and 0.76 = 2 5 1 9 , are terminating decimals, while 0.333333.... = 3 1 and 0.538461538461... = 1 3 7 are repeating decimals. On the other hand, we have all those other numbers that can be written as non-repeating, non-terminating decimals; these number are non-rational (that is, they cannot be written as fractions), so they are called the "irrationals". Examples would be 2 ("the square root of two") or the number π (" 3.14159... ", from geometry). The rationals and the irrationals are two totally separate number types; there is no overlap.
The Cellarius Universe (CX) is an original, transmedia cyberpunk franchise that leverages blockchain technology and user-generated assets to create a collaborative, fan-curated story.
Our narrative begins in the near future and will expand through the galaxy in both space and time. Written works, art, and other media will explore the relationship between humans, sentient artificial superintelligence, and the full spectrum in between. In essence, the Cellarius Universe is a future-oriented mythology. It is also a collective storytelling project whose content and contours will be shaped by its community.
The community is the lifeblood of the CX project. In the decentralization movement, power and opportunity is "pushed from the center to the edge." What this enables is for every participant in the network to play a necessary and meaningful role. We believe the depth of engagement and strong personal rewards for participation will make CX an exciting place to be. This is evident as you read our goals for the platform.
As we emerge from "stealth-mode," we hope that many of you are eager to get involved. Your first step should be to go on our website —
Top Quality Online Merrell Chameleon 7 Castle Rock Mens Shoes Cheap For Nice Clearance The Cheapest SfdGyii
— and download the three foundational documents: Universe Guide, White Paper, and Community Guidelines. These speak to the CX story architecture, the framing for the platform, and the rules of engagement, respectively. Please read these to better acquaint yourself with the project. A lot of love went into developing these documents!
We are inspired by the decentralized movement currently being spearheaded by blockchain technology. Never before has the future looked so bright! With Web 3.0 technology, we are on the cusp of a beautiful transformation of our socio-economic fabric, which will usher in amazing opportunities. The introduction to our Community Guidelines neatly summarizes our motivations:
The CX project is a ConsenSys Formation. ConsenSys is the world's largest blockchain development studio and focuses on building revolutionary decentralized applications for the Ethereum blockchain. The invention of the blockchain has introduced a paradigm shift in technology, one which we are calling Web 3.0! We are still in the very early days of adoption and development. However, despite open access to everyone, the adoption is not equally distributed. The CX platform is an attempt to bring the benefits of the blockchain to creative content creators all around the world. In our White Paper we use an analogy to help make this point:
Or perhaps, if you have more of a developer's brain, these tweets from a new community member may help put this in context:
The Cellarius Universe makes use of the Ethereum blockchain to do several things. Primarly, the blockchain provides a mechanism for decentralized governance used in content curation and voting. Members of the community will be given the power to decide what content is highlighted and eventually adopted as part of the canonical story. We call this the Cellarius Core Canon submission process. You can read more about how this works in our White Paper which is available on our website.
Additionally, we plan on using the blockchain to create digital collectibles in the form of tokens. When a piece of content has been voted into the "core canon," we will give the content creator the opportunity to issue tokens as a digital representation. The way to think about these tokens is like a digital baseball card or a CryptoKitty. But unlike those well known examples, CX canon will provide an unprecedented level of engagement and depth to the content. We anticipate that token owners will be active participants in building out additional story content related to their token holdings. The opportunities that are possible with collectible tokens are nearly endless and we look forward to the creative ways in which content creators will use these to interact with their fans. Just to give a few examples: special access to art galleries/book signings, virtual assets in a video game/VR experience, whitelist for an insider club, exclusive communications, patron opportunities, real-life merchandise, and the list goes on and on. We plan on offering these tokens as part of a CX digital marketplace.
We hope you are as excited as we are about the potential of the CX platform! But many of you may be feeling a bit like Ryan Selkis as he posted on twitter:
We understand that these concepts are new and push the limits of how the blockchain can be used. Blockchain technology is changing the fabric of commerce and we take it a step farther to the very foundation of our culture. We plan on helping spread the vision through educational outreach across various media. In fact, Christian Gossett taught a storytelling workshop at the ETHDenver Hackathon, and we plan to have many more such events both in person and online. Also, stay tuned for our first Cellarius AMA on reddit to be announced soon!
YES, WE DO! You've been taught to simply consume content from your favorite franchises. This is a chance to change the paradigm. We want you to join us in building the Cellarius Universe together. Everyone has something to contribute! Bring all of your experience and talents and share them with us. One of my favorite examples I recently heard was someone who offered to share a recipe for a home brew which they thought would fit the "Rattler" faction described in the Universe Guide.
In addition to content creation, we need patrons, blockchain developers, community organizers, cosplayers, game designers, podcasters, bloggers, web app developers, YouTubers, translators, fashion designers, and many more. Whatever your skills, come share them with us and watch as the universe comes alive with the depth of human (and AI) experiences. Come prepared to play nice and lose yourself in the wonderful universe of Cellarius. We need you and we're glad you came.

Starbucks will eliminate plastic straws from its stores worldwide by 2020 to reduce environmental plastic pollution, the company says.
The coffee retailer will phase out single-use straws from its more than 28,000 locations, cutting out an estimated 1bn straws each year.
Customers will instead be given plastic lids designed for use without a straw or with non-plastic straws.
The use of plastic lids has been criticised by some consumers.
The decision was motivated by requests from partners and customers, said Colleen Chapman, vice-president of Starbucks' global social impact in a statement.
"Not using a straw is the best thing we can do for the environment."
Starbucks' announcement included statements of support from organisations such as the Ocean Conservancy's Trash Free Seas programme and the World Wildlife Fund, praising the company for its straw ban.
Nicholas Mallos, of the Ocean Conservancy, said the ban was "a shining example of the important role that companies can play in stemming the tide of ocean plastic".
The announcement comes just one week after Seattle, Washington - home to Starbucks' headquarters - became the first major US city to ban single-use plastic straws and cutlery in bars and restaurants.
Starbucks' pushback against plastic has drawn a mixed reaction.
M Sanjayan, CEO of Conservation International, issued a statement saying that 500m plastic straws are thrown away every day in the US and lauded Starbucks for its "meaningful action to protect our oceans".
But many consumers have criticised use of a plastic sipping lid as the replacement for straws.
"*Gets rid of plastic straw *Replaced with large plastic sipping lid," wrote one Twitter user.
Others voiced concern for those who rely on straws due to disability.
"What about disabled people who rely on straws? I often can't drink or eat without them," a customer tweeted.
Starbucks has been quick to defend its decision on Twitter.
Unlike cups or lids, recycling straws just isn't possible because of their weight and size, despite the very best intentions.
