NEW ORLEANS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - They have yet to play an NFL
down, but a trio of 2013 NFL draftees defeated three current
league rookies in a virtual showdown between the San Francisco
49ers and Atlanta Falcons before more than 5,000 football fans
on Thursday night.
Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel, Oregon running back
Kenjon Barner and Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson are all
expected to be part of the 2013 NFL rookie class, but they
managed to become the first draftee team to win the Madden Bowl
in its 19-year history. The score was 21-7, at the EA Sports
event held at the New Orleans Bud Light Hotel.
"We had one of the greatest teams," said Manuel. "We had a
great play caller. We had great play makers. It feels good to
The annual video game tournament, which kicks off a host of
parties and special events leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl
XLVII, featured four teams of three football players each
playing "Madden NFL 13" on Xbox 360 consoles.
The NFL Draftee team's road to victory started with a narrow
win over the Home Town Heroes team, which featured New Orleans
Saints quarterback Drew Brees, running back Mark Ingram and
tight end Jimmy Graham.
"The Madden Bowl is a pretty big deal because, obviously, a
lot of guys play," Brees said. "There's some healthy trash talk
and you get a big Madden trophy that your name goes on. So a lot
of pride is taken in that."
Taking out the reigning Madden Bowl champions -- and Super
Bowl XLVI winners -- was no easy feat, said Barner.
"That first game was a little more stressful," he said,
referring to the 21-20 contest that came down to the wire. "It
really felt like a real game. You just weren't getting hit."
The Young Guns Team featuring Tampa Bay Buccaneers running
back Doug Martin, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green
and Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson eliminated
the NFL All-Stars Team, made up of Houston Texans running back
Arian Foster, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and New
England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, to reach the finals.
"'Madden' is so popular among NFL players," said Martin. "I
tell some of my teammates, 'Guys, you play the real game. Why do
you want to play the video game?' But they live and breathe it."
Millions of football fans across the country do as well. The
market researchers NPD Group said Electronic Arts sold over 5
million copies of "Madden NFL 13" in 2012, second only to
Activision's "Call of Duty: Black Ops II." The new edition
"Madden NFL 14" will be released in August, marking the 25th
anniversary of the series.
Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, who, along with other
celebrities, is working with NFL Play 60 and Xbox 360 Kinect to
get kids to stay active, believes part of the appeal of "Madden"
among NFL players is its realism.
"When I was in college, I would get frustrated because I
knew what play I was running and I knew the coverage, and then
the game would play out and my tight end wouldn't be open," said
Manning. But now "the formations and coverages are all accurate.
'Madden' is more realistic."
That realism has allowed "Madden" to successfully predict
the winner of seven of the last nine Super Bowls. This year the
simulation picked the Ravens over the 49ers, 24-17.
According to EA Sports Football General Manager Cam Weber,
the Infinity Engine, which uses physics to replicate how players
move and come in contact on the field, helps drive authenticity,
as do thousands of hours of NFL films that the EA Tiburon
development team watches throughout the season.

Washington (CNN) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make a multi-day swing through California in April, speaking at events in San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego that are sure to spark more talk about whether the former first lady will run for president in 2016.
The trip, which has Clinton appearing in front of an array of business and corporate groups, will likely happen behind closed doors, however, as all three appearances are closed to the press.
Follow @politicalticker Follow @danmericacnn
Clinton will be one of the keynote speakers at The Marketing Nation Summit, a three-day meeting of marketing experts from across the country, on April 8 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The speech, her first of the trip, is being put on by Marketo, a company that makes software for marketing departments in all companies. The conference of around 5,000 people costs attendees upwards of $1,195 to attend.
"We are delighted that Secretary Clinton will deliver the keynote address at our annual Marketing Nation Summit," said Phil Fernandez, Marketo president and CEO.
On April 10, Clinton will be part of the Unique Lives & Experiences speaker series. Clinton's speech is being billed as a "special event" for the group and Howard Szigeti, the event's promoter, said the former first lady was booked because of her life story and the "crowds she can command."
Szigeti, who said he had worked with Clinton before, was clear in stating the event was "not a political rally."
The speech will take place at the San Jose State University Event Center. At capacity, the space – which usually hosts San Jose State University basketball games – fits 5,000 people. Tickets to the event run from $50 to $200.
The promoter would not discuss whether Unique Lives & Experiences – a group that brings inspirational speakers to different cities – was paying Clinton and said the speech would likely be closed to the press.
The next day, April 11, Clinton will venture south to San Diego for remarks to the Western Health Care Leadership Academy, a meeting that brings together physicians, students and other medical professionals for a three-day conference.
Among the topics being discussed at the event is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act – President Barack Obama's sweeping healthcare law that has been hampered by a faulty roll-out. A spokeswomen for the group said she anticipates Clinton will talk about healthcare "given [the audience] is a largely physician audience," but said her remarks would be closed to the press.
"With the Affordable Care Act rolling out, that is a huge portion of what we will talk about," the spokeswoman said.
Tickets for the conference run from $95 for medical students and residents to $1,195 to physicians or attorneys who are not a member of the California Medical Association.
CNN asked Clinton's office for comment on the events and the possibility of other speaking engagements, but did not receive a response.
Ready for Hillary, the super PAC that is urging Clinton to run, told CNN that they "intend to have a presence at each event" which will likely include volunteers signing up supporters and passing out Ready for Hillary merchandise.
Clinton's last sustained swing through California came in November, when the former secretary of state made a two-day trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco for a mix of corporate speaking engagements and award ceremonies.
Shortly after leaving her State Department post in early 2013, Clinton signed on with the Harry Walker Agency as her representative for speaking engagements. She is a highly sought speaker who likely earns in the six-figure range per appearance.
Although Clinton has publicly said she is still mulling whether to run for president – last year, she said she would decide by the end of 2014 – the former secretary of state kept up an active schedule in 2013.
A cohort of former Clinton staffers and supporters has also been working to help urge Clinton to run for office. These efforts include raising money, meeting with political contacts and defending Clinton's record while she considers a run. All of these efforts, say coordinators, are aimed at making her possible bid easier.
California is a stridently Democratic state where Clinton remains popular. According to a June 2013 Field Poll, 56% of Californians have a positive opinion of Clinton and 30% of the state's voters state they have a negative opinion of the former senator.
"are sure to spark more talk about whether the former first lady will run for president in 2016."
Of course she is going to run in 2016. Why else would she be touring? The Billary propaganda machine was fired up years ago already.
Can't wait to watch her claim all of Bill's successes as her own and run on HIS record as President.
Yes, on Hillary16.
PS: keep low profile.
Hillary is looking good!!
Thirty percent unfavorable? Those are the teaklan chasers.
the country needs a moderate person to run that gears more to the people of the united states, than big corporations, who are putting the repub trickle down policies to shame. Hillary needs to know that discretionary money, which the repubs have been cutting out of existence is the key to building our crumbling infrastructure. she has to also know that this top heavy economy, with the buyers having all the money and the spenders are dropping like a hot banana, that this economy cannot work. the usual capitalism society is broken at the sides, and instead of the trickle going down its going sideways to china and india building their infrastructure and armies bigger and bigger. those rich rep0ublican host over at fox news, will blind the american people to this facts, because they want themselves and their rich friends to get richer and richer. this is why they refuse to hire a single democrat host, who will tell their blind viewers the other side of the story.
The corrupt go to the center of corruption for their financing.
Hillary 2016! She's the best qualified person to become President I've ever seen in my lifetime. I am glad her remarks are closed to the press because Heaven Forbid if she said something positive about President Obama. I see a Hillary Clinton Presidency as the official end of the Tea Party. Go Hillary!
Welcome to California Madam President and First Gentleman Bill Clinton. Yep, that has a nice sound to it
Rick McDaniel
The corrupt go to the center of corruption for their financing.
She's going to McDonnell's Virginia? I think not…..
The speech will take place at the San Jose State University Event Center. At capacity, the space – which usually hosts San Jose State University basketball games – fits 5,000 people. Tickets to the event run from $50 to $200.
That reminds me. Anyone remember that fund raiser Romney held in a football stadium in Detroit. The stadium holds upwards of 60 or 70 thousand, but only about 40 or 50 people showed up. To be fair, they had set up chairs on the field. They never had any intent on filling the seats in the stands. But, they must of had a few thousand seats set up.
Rick McDaniel
The corrupt go to the center of corruption for their financing.
Where did Christie go again? Oh yeah, he went to visit Florida's Gov. Scott to meet conservative donors.
I really hope someone with talent shows up on the Democratic side with the backing to take her on in the early states. Can't tell who that might be right now but Clinton, like in 07, is far more beatable than she appears. Iowa is up for grabs and it would be a tough narrative for her to lose the caucuses again against a rising star. If it looks like a close race in Iowa, her campaign will want to try to minimize the importance of the caucuses but they flirted with that in 07 and it cost them big time.
She'd be better than anything from the whackadoodle GOP, but I think it would be better for the party and the nation for some new blood to step up.
Good one Rudy! I think it was Ford Field. I don't think I've ever seen that place so empty!!
Thanks for the memories!!
Aw Yes, That whackadooodle GOP. Yes we need to eliminate all the Jobs Creators so the Liberal's Socalists, and Democrats can run the country. Oh, wait, didn't the Democrats run the country for the last 100 years? So everything is running smoothly, no? Elect Hillary, What Difference Does it Make? People do need their Food Stamps.
Hector Slagg
Aw Yes, That whackadooodle GOP. Yes we need to eliminate all the Jobs Creators so the Liberal's Socalists, and Democrats can run the country. Oh, wait, didn't the Democrats run the country for the last 100 years?
Uh, no. Republicans ran the Congress for 12 years and last White House for the last six, setting policies that "protected the job creators" so well that it crashed the economy. That would be between 1994 and 2006. The housing bubble began bursting in 2006. It became obvious what was happening in 2007, which was when The Great Recession began. Your guys drove the economy into the ditch, and then you cut and ran, blaming the Democrats who were still sitting in the car.
Go and prepare yourself for the real battle Hillary. I hate the right-wingers comparing Bridge-gate with Benghazi. What I know and believe, Christies and his subordinates sat down and discussed how and when to close the lanes on the bridge. Different from Hillary what happened in Benghazi. She didn't sit down and had a discussion how the ambassador and others should be killed in Benghazi.
@Rudy, it would be a nice change, though not expected, if you at least acknowledged the work of Barney Frank in creating the housing bubble. To place all of the blame on either party is disingenuous.
Hillary will stay away from places that vote America first and not some nutty progressive agenda that kills it's embassy staff.
I bet the dinner plates will go for about $50,000 a plate. Nice to see the rich folks in the Democrat party pay for this while millions go hungry in this country.
The can't miss candidate is at it again. Poor Hillary 8 years later she still carries a grudge, and the Democrats have another mess on their hands.

Domain name scammers target uk.biz
Warning over 'gazzumping' ruse
Domain name scammers are once again targeting UK firms.
Typically, the scam, which is still under investigation, starts with calls to domain owners warning them that a variant of the domain they own has been bought by a third party. Prospective marks are invited to outbid these third parties by placing higher bids with domain registration entities that falsely claim to be partners with Nominet, the UK registrar.
Mullard Space Science Laboratory, part of University College London, has been targeted by variants of the scam twice by different entities (both of whom made false claims) over recent weeks. "A heads-up story about the activity might be in order," writes Alan Brown, our source in the lab. Brown said some of his peers had been subjected to similar approaches. He has contacted Nominet in the hopes that it might be persuaded to compile information on the scams for a possible trading standards or OFT (Office of Fair Trading) investigation.
Tim Dalby, of Nominet's legal team, told El Reg it was looking into the latest example of possible fraud reported by Brown earlier this month to see "if there is anything further that we can do".
"We get periodic complaints about various business practices relating to domain names sales, including the pressure selling of domain name registrations," he said. "We are genuinely concerned with such cases and where possible we take action."
A page in Nominet's website details various sharp practices around domain name sales and the steps concerned punters can take if they become recipients of unwanted, and possibly fraudulent, approaches.
Fraud targeting domain name holders are far from new. In February 2001, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) went to court to stop a scam that attempted to trick potential marks into registering variations of their existing domain names. At least 27,000 website owners were victims of that scam, the US consumer watchdog estimated.
More recently, jailed UK spammer Peter Francis-Macrae (AKA Weaselboy) used data from Nominet's Whois database to mount a bogus domain re-registration scam. ®

The Monticello Buckaroo wrestling team garnered second place for the third year in a row at the state 1A wrestling tournament, with five Buckaroos bringing home the title of state champion.
When Nephi Barlow won his championship match at 195, he became the 83rd Buckaroo state wrestling champion. Barlow, and Hunter Bowring, who triumphed after finishing second twice in 2011 and 2012, join the ranks of 41 other Buckaroos to have earned a state wrestling championship, starting with the very first Buckaroo to garner such honors, Ralph Pellacio back in 1959.
Cole Eldredge and Austin Wilcox, with their second state championship each, become two of 12 Buckaroos to win twice.
Brian Robinson becomes one of only four Buckaroos to win three state championships, the other three being Ozzie Trujillo, Trent Schafer, and Shane Butler. Only one Buckaroo, Aaron Butler, has four state championships.
Congrats to all the wrestlers, near and far, old and young and as yet unborn. Next year bodes well for the Bucks with four returning state finalists returning and a couple of junior high state champions becoming freshmen, too. Can't wait.
The 2012-13 season of basketball ended for the Lady Buckaroos and both the boys and girls San Juan teams. Monticello High won their opener at the state tournament, before losing two straight to conclude their season at 12-12.
Facing the champs from Region 18, the Wendover Lady Wildcats in the opener, the Lady Bucks showed they were ready for the state tournament atmosphere by jumping out to a quick lead.
Zoe Chadwick scored the Bucks first three baskets and after Brittany Keith canned a jumper, Chadwick drained a three pointer to give the Lady Bucks an 11-2 lead that they never relinquished. After the first quarter, Monticello led 13-3 and the kept that lead throughout the game.
Playing a tough man-to-man defense, coach Lee Chadwick's team never allowed the region champs to get any kind of offensive rhythm and won the game, 37-26.
Chadwick and Shania DeAnda led the Bucks offensively with nine points each. Brittany Keith and Aapree Sheeran both added six points. Sheeran was especially effective on the boards, with eight rebounds.
The first round win matched the Bucks up with the number two ranked Rich Lady Rebels. The Rebels justified their number two ranking as they raced to an early lead, 13-5 after the first quarter.
The Bucks rallied at the foul line in the second quarter and only trailed 24-17 at halftime, but the bottom fell out in the third quarter, where MHS could only manage one basket while allowing the Rebels 13 points.
The 37-19 third quarter advantage was too much to overcome and the Bucks fell, 50-27. Chadwick again led the way offensively with eight points.
The Lady Buck's final game of the year was a rematch with the Milford Tigers, a team that crushed the Lady Bucks 49-20 in the second game of the year. This time the Tigers won again, but by a 35-20 score.
In both games, the score at halftime found the Bucks down 19-9, but this second game, the Lady Buckaroos showed their improvement on the season, holding the Tigers to just 16 second half points, as opposed to allowing 30 second half points way back in December. Sheeran led the way with seven points.
San Juan girls fought gamely but lost in their annual play in game, 52-39, to the Gunnison Lady Bulldogs, leaving them with an 8-12 record on the year.
Though they played fiercely, the Lady Broncos couldn't overcome a 32-21 halftime deficit to end their season. Brooke Lyman and Sara Morley both scored 10 points for the Broncos.
The Bronco boys suffered a defeat at the hands of the number one ranked team in 2A, the Wasatch Academy Tigers, 62-27, to end their season at 11-11.
Wasatch Academy showed why they are heavily favored to win the 2A state championship when they raced to a 24-10 halftime lead. Four Tigers finished in double figures, showing their balance.
Barkley Christensen ended his fine Bronco career with 10 points. Fellow senior, Logan Meyer, finished with six in the disheartening loss.
Only the boys from MHS remain in the basketball playing field, and they end their regular season Friday at Green River.
The Bucks played twice last week, losing at Ignacio, CO on Tuesday and besting a game Monument Valley team on Friday night, 90-67. The Cougars only trailed 45-41 at halftime and after hitting a three to start the second half, trailed by only one, 45-44.
Coach Tony Esplin's strategic timeout, only seconds into the second half, lacking any Xs and Os strategy, successfully motivated the Bucks and they outscored the Cougars, 23-4 the rest of the quarter.
Jake Duncan and Gunnar Hollingsworth, made their last home appearance for the Bucks one to remember with 23 and 19 points, respectively.
Dillon Maughan chipped in with 14 points on four treys. Zach Johnson scored nine points in his last home game as a Buckaroo.

1. Xuan Thuy National Park: Benefit sharing agreement
Established in 1989, Xuan Thuy National Park was the first Ramsar site in Southeast Asia (and the fiftieth worldwide). It contains some of the last remnants of the coastal ecosystems of the Red River Delta and is internationally significant as a migratory bird habitat, notably for the globally threatened Black-faced Spoonbill. The park is also of high economic importance: thousands of shrimp farmers, clam seed producers, and clam collectors depend on its mangroves and mud flats. Since its designation as a Ramsar site, the demand for natural resources has led to the almost complete conversion of the park to shrimp production. While the area under mangroves has recovered as a result of mangrove replanting on new mud flats, the park's core zone remains a de facto open access area. The park's management board can neither officially accept the presence of people in the core zone, nor can it strictly follow national laws that forbid human use of the core zone. In an effort to defuse competition and conflict over these resources, the management board has piloted a benefit sharing agreement for households involved in highly profitable clam seed production. The other signatories are the local government and management board. According to the park's analysis, the agreement has generated significant revenue to support local welfare services but has failed to address over-harvesting of clam seed.
2. Lap An Lagoon: Mangroves threatened by golf course
Lap An Lagoon is located in Thua-Thien-Hue Province. Over the last 20 years the area of mangroves has shrunk from 100 hectares to just five hectares of poor quality mangrove as a result of conversion to aquaculture and infrastructure development. This last patch of mangroves is now threatened by clearance for a golf course. With MFF support, the Center for Community Research and Development (CCRD) is working to protect the lagoon's remaining mangroves bearing in mind the results from micro-tidal estuaries and lagoons in Sri Lanka that emphasise the importance of mangrove conservation and natural regeneration rather than mangrove replanting. In February 2012, the national newspaper Nong Thon Ngay Nay (Agriculture Today) published a story on the proposed golf course; in March, the case was discussed at an MFF training course for environmental journalists; and in April, the Deputy Prime Minister sent a letter to the provincial government instructing them not to convert the mangrove protection forest. For now, Lap An Lagoon's remaining mangroves seem safe but to make sure CCRD is surveying the mangroves as a first step in getting them legally protected.
3. Mekong Delta: High costs of intensive rice production
Over the last 10 years the construction of high dykes in the Mekong Delta to allow a third, or autumn-winter, rice crop to be grown has blocked the annual replenishment of freshwater, nutrients, and sediment on which fish depend. In turn, this has destroyed the wild fisheries on which the landless, who make up 20% of the Mekong Delta's population, depend. The high dykes have also greatly reduced the annual flushing, which has resulted in the accumulation of pathogens and toxins in the surface water and growing public health problems. In hydrological terms, high dykes have separated the Mekong River from its 1.5 million-hectare floodplain. They have narrowed the floodplain during the peak October-November flood from 150 kilometers to a few tens of kilometers. This has accelerated the water flow and displaced flooding to urban and industrial areas downstream. Reduction of the flooded area has also reduced groundwater recharge, reduced river base flows, and increased dry season saline intrusion, which increases the cost of drinking water supplies. The violent floods of 2011 call into question the value of the third rice crop and instead argue for a more natural hydrology that provides multiple benefits, including greater resilience to climate change, which is likely to result in more intense rainfalls and flash flooding.
4. Ha Tien Plain: Large scale wetland conversion
While most of Vietnam's limestone is in the north, most of the cement demand is in the south. In response, the Kien Giang provincial government has licensed several state owned enterprises and on international company, Holcim Vietnam Limited (HVL), to mine the area's karst hills to produce cement. This has resulted in the complete destruction of several hills and extensive damage to others. Even on intact hills, no pristine vegetation is left as a result of fuelwood collection and chemical defoliant during the American War. IUCN is cooperating with HVL to compensate for the unavoidable impacts of its operations by supporting the establishment of two nature reserves as biodiversity offsets. One nature reserve will protect the remaining intact karst hills that are one of the richest sites in the tropics for soil invertebrates. The first endemic arthropod was described in 1995. Since then many species new to science have been discovered, revealing the area to be of overwhelming biological interest. The other nature reserve will protect the remaining area of natural grassland in Phu My, next to the border with Cambodia. This area is important as roosting habitat for the Sarus crane, which visits every March-April at the end of the dry season. However, the Phu My grassland is highly threatened by conversion to rice and shrimp farms.

At the heart of the Palladium brand, there is first of all a unique industrial expertise linked to a mastery of lace, leather and rubber. There is also a complex and inimitable manufacturing process — a testament to the experience gathered over the years. From this expertise and this experience, models were born which made the brand the stuff of legends: the "Pallabrousse" (1950), the "Pallatennis", the "Pallabasket" (1960) and the "Pampa" (1990), accentuated with thousands of colours. Palladium is now expanding its range of products again, introducing new ranges while remaining faithful to its roots and continuing to be one of those well-preserved and indispensable lines running down the generations. "This is the spirit of the brand. The emotion is still there. We are still working with what we have in our heads".

The mantra of Seaville Farm Barn is 'just bring yourself' for here in the sympathetically converted barns of a Grade II listed farmhouse less than ten minutes' drive to sandy beaches every effort has been made to provide the perfect getaway. To preserve the façade of this interesting building all the accommodation is individually designed featuring exposed stonework and high beams. Relax unwind and enjoy this peaceful location which is full of the sounds of birdsong and has walks from the farm leading to the SSSI wildlife sites of Border and Skinburness Marshes and on to coastal paths. Whilst the working farm setting is home to hens ducks Jersey cows and a donkey called Mollie there is plenty of space to enjoy kicking around with a ball or to pedal a toy tractor. And 'foodies' will love the home made fare served at the farm's tea rooms where fresh eggs and Jersey milk can also be purchased. This northwest corner of Cumbria sees the majestic fells of the Lake District give way to the undulating coastal plain of the Solway Firth. Across the tidal sea estuary the mountains of Scotland stand proud – on a clear day the skyline is filled with high peaks. All around Seaville Farm Barn lies rich farmland which after a mile or two runs west to the long sandy beaches of Silloth and Allonby or North to the special nature site of Morecambe Bay and the 'sinking sands' of Burgh-by-Sands. Eastwards the River Eden affords lovely walks along its meandering valley and around Talkin Tarn near picturesque Brampton. Hadrian's Wall is just 10 miles away and the border city of Carlisle is about half an hour's drive as is Bassenthwaite Lake with its osprey viewpoint. The opposite shore of Scotland taking in a visit to Gretna Green on the way can be explored in a day trip. Golf riding and sea fishing are nearby; the charming Victorian town of Silloth (4 miles) has a good selection of shops and pubs. E4998 (The Coach House) E4999 (The Millers Cottage) E5000 (The Hayloft) E5039 (The Granary) and E5040 (Swallows Nest) can be booked together to sleep up to 20 people. From mid November to mid February a dining/family room is available seating up to 30 people with a wood burning stove and sitting area (£100pw £20 per day on request).

CNRS 2009 Gold Medal : Serge Haroche, physicist and explorer of the quantum world
|(Nanowerk News) The CNRS 2009 Gold Medal has been awarded to the physicist Serge Haroche. The distinction rewards a scientific personality whose work has made an exceptional contribution to the vitality and influence of French research. Haroche is a specialist in atomic physics and quantum optics. He is one of the founders of cavity quantum electrodynamics, a field which uses conceptually simple experiments to shed light on the fundamentals of quantum theory and develop prototype quantum information processing systems. Haroche, who has been a Professor at the Collège de France since 2001, leads the Electrodynamics of Simple Systems group at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (École normale supérieure/Université Pierre et Marie Curie/CNRS).
|Serge Haroche
|Haroche started to carry out research in 1965, at a time when atomic physics and quantum optics were undergoing a profound revolution, due to the discovery of lasers and the development of new ways of manipulating atoms with light. He played a pioneering role in the field of quantum optics research by observing atom-light interaction at the most fundamental level. In his cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments, Haroche succeeded in isolating an atom from the outside world in a cavity with nearly perfectly reflecting walls, and forced it to interact with an elementary field made up of several photons at most. The electromagnetic cavities that were used by his team at École normale supérieure (ENS) to trap light, and which enabled these experiments to be carried out, can be considered as the achievement of the 'photon boxes' that Bohr and Einstein once dreamed up in a famous thought experiment.
|Haroche's work has made it possible to study and demonstrate experimentally a number of postulates of quantum mechanics that fly in the face of intuition. It has played a major role in explaining the apparently huge difference in behavior between the microscopic quantum world and the classical macroscopic world. The experiments developed by Haroche have in particular made it possible to observe the history of a single photon in an electromagnetic cavity by 'seeing' it several hundreds of times, and have shown how it disappears suddenly and unexpectedly in what is called a quantum jump. For the first time, it has been shown that it is not necessary to destroy a single photon in order to observe it.
|Haroche and his team have been able to demonstrate the 'Schrödinger's cat' paradox, which refers to a thought experiment in which a macroscopic system placed in contact with a single atom is put into a superposition of two classically different states. In the ENS experiment, an atom prepared in a superposition of two energy states is coupled in a cavity to a microwave field containing several photons. Under the effect of this coupling, the field is put into a quantum superposition state, acquiring two phases at one and the same time. The researchers monitored the temporal evolution of the field, and saw how the quantum superposition state disappeared and rapidly turned into a state described by the laws of classical physics. By studying experimentally this phenomenon, known as 'decoherence', they have helped us to get a better understanding of why macroscopic systems can generally be understood using classical concepts, even though they are made up of particles that on microscopic scales obey the counterintuitive laws of quantum theory.
|In addition to these very fundamental issues, the various manipulations of photons and atoms can also be used to develop prototypes that demonstrate general methods of information storage and quantum computing. In normal computers and communication circuits, information is encoded in electric or light signals as classical bits, which can take one of two mutually exclusive values, 0 or 1. On the other hand, quantum information uses 'quantum bits', or 'qubits', carried by quantum systems that can exist in a superposition of 0 and 1 states. The principle of superposition thus offers considerably enhanced computing and communication potential. Theoreticians have shown that computers making use of such qubits would be able to carry out calculations far more quickly than current computers, and would make it impossible to violate the privacy of information communication, which until now has been based on conventional cryptography protocols whose absolute reliability has not been demonstrated. The cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments carried out by Haroche and his team are making a major contribution to the development of this novel physics.

A national road safety charity is warning that Britain could become gridlocked with too much traffic.
The move follows the publication of a new report by the Department for Transport which shows people are using more cars, vans and lorries than ever before.
A spokesman for Brake, the national road safety charity, said the figures 'give cause for alarm'.
The statistics reveal that van traffic continued to rise faster than any other vehicle type, increasing by six per cent to a new peak of 46.9 billion vehicle miles.
The report also showed motor traffic has increased for the tenth quarter in succession with a two per cent increase in vehicle traffic.
It suggests this rise is partly due to the growth in the economy as well as lower fuel prices. It found that traffic on motorways and rural roads is also higher than it has ever been.
Gary Rae, campaigns director for Brake, said: "These rises are not sustainable. We're in our 20th year and in that time, we've seen an increase of 19 per cent in all traffic.
"In a report published earlier this year, the Department for Transport forecasts is for traffic growth of 19 per cent to 55 per cent between 2010 and 2040.
"Back in 2011, the RAC Foundation reported that the number of cars was set to increase by 43 per cent by 2035 and traffic delays by 50 per cent."
"The figures are heading the wrong way and we're heading for gridlock.
"The government needs to get a grip and outline what it intends to do."
He added: "During Road Safety Week (23-29 November), we'll be revealing the impact on our health and the environment of these ever rising figures."

WASHINGTON -- Sixteen Senate Democrats met with President Barack Obama on Wednesday to urge that he right his foundering health care website, warning of a "crisis of confidence" if he doesn't act quickly.
The president's team acknowledged struggling with how to present its message to the public, but some senators left the meeting more concerned that there were no immediate fixes forthcoming more than a month after healthcare.gov went live.
With re-election battles looming, fellow Democrats have been left to explain the website failures while hoping that the benefits of the Affordable Care Act are just around the corner.
The frustration was on full display Wednesday as 15 Senate Democrats up for re-election and the senator in charge of their coordinated campaigns urged Obama to get the troubled launch behind him and his party.
"It's absolutely unacceptable in this day and age that the administration can't deliver on the promises it made to all Americans because of technical problems with a website," said Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. "Alaskans should be appreciating the critical benefits of the Affordable Care Act, but there is an understandable crisis in confidence because the administration has yet to get it off the ground."
One Senate aide, who asked for anonymity to discuss the private conversation, said it was clear the White House knows it has a "messaging problem," but not that it has "any immediate fixes to it, which was disconcerting."
Obama advisers are fighting a crisis of faith among Democrats as they try to muscle the marketplaces through the rough patch and into widespread use. Already, 11 Senate Democrats have signaled their support for extending the enrollment deadline, a delay that administration officials fear could lead to an unraveling of the larger policy.
White House chief of staff Denis McDonough has personally led efforts to reassure balky Democrats, traveling to Capitol Hill and routinely talking with those up for reelection in 2014.
But nervousness remains.
"I am very frustrated with the rollout of the exchanges. The dysfunction and delays are unacceptable," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said after the meeting. "I remain deeply convinced that this is a 'show me' moment. This will not be resolved until Americans can, day after day, sign onto the health marketplace, review their options and complete their applications."
Another Senate Democratic aide, who also was not authorized to comment publicly about the private conversation, described the meeting as "civil."
"The White House understands the situation folks going into re-election are in," the aide said. "It's still a concern."
The chaos surrounding the rocky startup has given ammunition to critics and forced Obama to answer tough questions about his plan, instead of touring the country drawing crowds for health care recruiters. Among the questions is whether he described the program accurately over the last three years when he said people could keep their old plans if they desired. But plans that don't meet the new Obamacare standards are grandfathered in only if they were purchased before the law was signed in 2010.
House Republicans stoked concerns about the grandfather clause Wednesday by announcing the House would vote next week on the "Keep Your Health Plan Act," which would allow insurance plans being offered today to continue into next year.
The bill's author, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., calls it a "voluntary escape hatch" for people who want to keep their old coverage.
After the White House meeting, Obama traveled to Dallas for a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser and to promote health care enrollment. Texas is one of 36 states dependent on the federal website because it has declined to create its own exchange.
Speaking to a crowd at Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, Obama thanked a group of volunteers for promoting Obamacare even though state Republican leaders aren't doing much to help implement the law.
Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry has refused federal money to expand Medicaid to cover more low-income families. And the state is considering new requirements for recruiters hired under federal grants to help people sign up for Obamacare. A quarter of the state's population is uninsured, the biggest share in the country. That amounts to about 6 million Texans.
"This task is especially challenging in the great Lone Star State," Obama told the crowd. "There's no state that actually needs this more than Texas."
In a statement, Perry accused the president of coming to Texas "in a desperate attempt to salvage his ill-conceived and unpopular program from a Titanic fate by preaching expansion of the same Medicaid system he himself admits is broken."
Earlier in the day, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified before the Senate Finance Committee, where even Democratic champions of the health care law were upset by the administration's past failure to keep them informed of potential problems.
"You've got to tell us what's going on candidly, fully," said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the committee and a chief architect of the law. "The more you don't tell us, the greater the problem is going to be."

41-year-old mother of 3 shot, killed while sitting in traffic
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man convicted in the stray bullet shooting death of a mother of three as she sat in traffic two years ago was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
As part of the life sentence, Judge Brad Stetson also set the minimum-mandatory for Taurice Brown
as life. The sentence guarantees Brown will never be released and will die in prison.
Stetson also sentenced Brown to 65 years in prison, with a 20-year minimum-mandatory for the attempted murder of another man involved in the shooting.
Brown was convicted in October on charges of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder in the killing of Analiza Gobaton on Oct. 22, 2010.
Gobaton, 41, was heading to her children's school for an awards program. She was at a red light at Blanding Boulevard near Transylvania Avenue, when she was shot in the head.
The bullet that killed Gobaton was a stray bullet from a drug-related shooting at a home on Transylvania Avenue. Brown, a drug dealer, went to the home to sell cocaine. When he arrived, Brown got into a verbal argument with another drug dealer. Brown then started shooting at the other drug dealer as he drove away from the area.
John Gobaton, Analiza's husband, told the court he could not put into words the pain and anguish his family has endured in the last two years.
"All I have is memories now. I miss my best friend," he said.
He also told the court that his three children -- ages 16, 12 and 5 -- have been robbed of their caring mother.

So... I hear you do the RPing here. Any chance I could get in on that? I think you'll find my resume quite impressive:
- Read the FAQ without falling asleep more than twice
- Exellent writing skills, despite having just misspelled the word "Excellent"
- Makes a half-decent Shepard's Pie
I've tried RPing plenty of times before, and I know what to do... in theory. But I hardly ever join an RP that concludes with any satisfaction. As a result, I still feel like a newbie despite my knowledge and experience. I'm hoping to improve on that, and will defenitely give my best effort while I'm here.

As far as I know, this is the first cupcake recipe baked in ham ever developed. I baked a honey cake inside of a piece of ham to recreate a flavor of honeyed ham. With so many cupcakes out there now featuring bacon (see my beer cupcakes with bacon cheddar frosting, French Toast bacon cupcakes from The Busty Baker, and Cakespy's ode to bacon cupcakes as evidence), I figured, "Why not salute a different part of the pig?"!
What surprised people the most about the cupcakes in ham was that the ham flavor was not strong – some even said they couldn't taste it. The ham acts as an edible, environmentally friendly (depending on where your ham comes from) cupcake liner. If anything, it adds a salty flavor to each bite, which gives a zen sweet and salty effect.
The best cupcake bites are the ones with all of the components – pineapple, frosting, ham, and cake. So, don't be shy; primally tear through both the ham and pineapple to achieve cupcake nirvana.
Honey Cupcake Baked in Ham Recipe
Update 12/14/11: You can't go wrong with the honey cake recipe in this post, but I'd recommend my latest honey cake recipe (it's found at the bottom of the linked post). It's my new favorite!
I got the recipe for the honey cake by modifying a honey cake recipe that I found on Smitten Kitchen. Deb of Smitten Kitchen got the recipe from the book A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking by Marcy Goldman. I'm sure Marcy would never have envisioned her holiday honey cake being bastardized into these ham-cradled treats, but once you create something, it's out there for people to do with as they please.
Honey Cupcakes Baked in Ham
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup whiskey
- 17-20 thinly sliced pieces of ham I used Black Forest ham, which has those nice looking black edges.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
- Add oil, honey, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, juice, and whiskey. If you use the same measuring cup and you measure your oil before the honey, it will be easier to get all of the honey out of the cup.
- Using a strong wire whisk or in an electric mixer on slow speed, stir together to make a thick, well-blended batter, making sure that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom.
- Place one slice of ham in each well of the cupcake tin. Try to make sure that the part on the bottom and sides of the pan has no holes in it. I found that most of the slices of ham I bought had holes, so I just ensured that the holes were positioned toward the top of the cupcake tin.
- Spoon batter into the ham, as shown in the photo above.
- Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you put this recipe into a normal cupcake liner sans ham, it will bake in about 20 minutes.
A Few Pictures of The Cupcakes Just Out of the Oven
I loved how nicely the ham crisped up. I wasn't sure how well it would support the cake, but it worked splendidly.
Each cupcake had its own personality:
The Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
I topped the cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I've made this frosting recipe many times. It's a keeper! These cupcakes would also work well with a brown sugar penuche frosting.
The Topper
Of course, I topped my cupcakes with candied pineapple. Rather than just sitting on top of the cupcake, when eaten the next day, the flavor from the candied pineapple seeped into the whole cupcake and pulled it all together!
My idea of baking something in ham was not original. I got the idea for the crispy ham shells from my Taste and Create partner this month, Min at The Bad Girl's Kitchen. Min made baked eggs and mushrooms in ham crisps. When I saw the ham crisps that looked exactly like cupcake liners, I just about squealed with joy!

O26 Game of the Week: SDSU at The Pit, Gonzaga-BYU, Others…Posted by Tommy Lemoine on February 19th, 2014
Each week the O26 microsite will run down the biggest upcoming game of the week as well as a handful of others to keep an eye on.
San Diego State (22-2) at New Mexico (19-5) – 10:00 PM ET, ESPN2, Saturday
This game — this week — is a huge one for New Mexico. If it can avenge an early loss to UNLV tonight in Las Vegas, Craig Neal's team will return home on Saturday with a chance to pull even with San Diego State atop the Mountain West standings and solidify itself as an NCAA Tournament lock. Up to this point, the only major feather in the Lobos' cap is a win over Cincinnati back in early December, so beating the Aztecs this weekend would not only shake up the conference race, it would also carry serious resume-boosting implications. Not to mention bragging rights in a match-up that features two of the best fan bases west of the Mississippi.
In fact, considering how closely matched the game is on paper, New Mexico's 15,000-plus screaming fans might very well become a deciding factor when it's all said and done. According to KenPom, the Lobos are pegged as the slight favorites with a win probability of 54 percent, a figure that will dip considerably when they head to San Diego in early March. But first they get to host the Aztecs in The Pit, their menacing, subterranean arena in which they boast an all-time winning mark well over 80 percent. Not many visiting teams escape unscathed. For San Diego State fans, the silver lining is this: Steve Fisher units have gone an admirable 6-8 in the daunting stadium since he took over in 1999.
Of course, the outcome will ultimately be decided on the court, and there, each team will have distinct advantages. For New Mexico, the ability to get interior scoring from its imposing frontcourt duo of Alex Kirk and Cameron Bairstow will be critical. The big men combined to average 36 points and 15 rebounds in the Lobos' two victories over the Aztecs last year; in the one loss, they mustered just two points and nine boards total. Paint production will be especially important considering that opposing guards Xavier Thames and Winston Shepard are stingy perimeter defenders, capable of minimizing Kendall Williams' usually-considerable offensive production. San Diego State, meanwhile, hopes to continue playing the excellent team defense that has limited opponents to around 0.94 points per possession this season, good for 17th in the country. They are long, fast, physical and will suffocate teams that are ill-prepared. On the other end, the Aztecs are led by the gifted Thames — who's likely to win Mountain West Player of the Year — and the team-wide ability to garner second-chance looks by crashing the offensive glass. Forwards Josh Davis and J.J. O'Brien must out-bang the sizable New Mexico frontcourt if San Diego State hopes to generate enough offense to survive Albuquerque. The game will be high-stakes and high-energy, so flip to The Deuce and check it out when Saturday night rolls around.

Opening recital by Tim Shafer on Oct. 31 at 8:00 PM
The Albion College Piano Festival began in the fall of 2008. It was inspired by the memory of Vera Reed, an Albion resident and piano teacher who taught into her nineties and played even later in her life. While there is a competition element, and students can compete for cash prizes, it is our hope that students will find this festival to be more about performing, meeting and hearing other students, and taking lessons/master classes from Albion Faculty and guest artists. In other words, we view this festival as educational first and foremost.

We've seen caviar nails, magnetic polish, and crackle lacquer, but now, there's rubber. Continuing the textured nail polish trend comes Illamasqua's new rubberized nail polish. Available in six super bright shades ranging from hot pink to sky blue, the polish was inspired by the color-coded specialties of dominatrix boots worn by girls in 1920s Berlin. It dries completely matte and just might change the lacquer game.

DALLAS, July 25 (UPI) -- A Texas teen was woken up by her cellphone in the middle of the night and it wasn't because she had set the alarm to go off by mistake.
Ariel Tolfree had a rude awakening after she placed her Samsung Galaxy S4 under her pillow before going to sleep. The 13-year-old's "high-tech" phone caught fire and it was burnt to the point where it is barely recognizable.
Things could have been worse if she hadn't smelled the phone burning.
"I didn't think much of it, so I went back to sleep, and then I woke up again and it was more prominent," Tolfree told KDFW.
The fire, which may have been caused by a replacement battery, singed Tolfree's bedding and mattress, as well as her pillow.
"The whole phone melted," said Tolfree's dad. "The plastic, the glass. You can't even really tell that it was a phone." He thinks the Galaxy S4 should come with a "big warning on it, like a cigarette label."
The phone does come with the following warning:
"Covering the device with bedding, your body, thick clothing or any other materials that significantly affect air flow may affect the performance of the phone and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property."
In addition to the phone, all of the other damaged items will be replaced by Samsung.

If you've been doing any international traveling, you may have noticed in the Duty Free shops a new item in the Johnnie Walker gallery, Platinum Label, which was not available in the United States until just this August. I'm not a big drinker but I do like Scotch, so I have been nursing this bottle for the last few weeks — going out into the backyard at the end of the day while the sun is still up, kicking back in a lawn chair and taking a trip to Scotch nirvana. It arrived just after I got back from vacation in September, a pleasant surprise.
Unlike Double Black, which had to earn its way (through popularity) into the permanent JW product line, it seems that Platinum is going to be an ongoing offering, with a list price of $110. That makes it 2/3rds the price of Blue, but more expensive than Gold, which is more expensive than Green, which is more expensive than Double Black, which is slightly more expensive than Black, which is more expensive than Red. Like Gold, it's an 18 year old Scotch, but it has a different flavor.
Platinum is slightly smoky, but it has a sweetness to it — apparently the result of some Speyside input. Generally I don't like Speyside single malts, but as part of a blend of tastes, it brings a welcome quality. This is a very smooth Scotch, almost as smooth as Blue, though not quite. You can definitely drink it neat. You'd be wasting it to drink it with anything more than a drop or two of water. If you like to drink it on the rocks, don't wreck it by throwing a lot of ice in a glass and pouring this on top. Instead, go to Sur Le Table and get an ice tray that makes for huge ice cubes. That way it's only one ice cube, albeit big, melting into the Scotch, so that the Scotch will get chilled without getting excessively diluted.
As for where it fits in, in terms of my personal blended whisky hierarchy — basically, I like all the JW's, except for Red, which I won't drink. It tastes harsh to me. I'm also not in love with Green, which is made only from Single Malts, though I had some the other day and it was fine. But Black, Double Black, Gold, Platinum and Blue are all good, depending on your mood. I suppose I could say I like Platinum better than Black Label, and that it's tied with the rest.

Macau, China, August 26, 2011 – Italy v Japan press conference
Italy captain Eleonora Lo Bianco: "Congratulations to Japan, they played a great match especially in defense. We are sorry to miss the opportunity to play for the fifth place. We started well in the game but did not find the patience to play against this team."
Japan captain Erika Araki: "We played well today in both our serve and defense. Although we started slow in the second set of the match but we gained momentum and won a lot of points in the second half of the set."
Italy coach Massimo Barbolini: "Congratulations to Japan for the good match they played. We lost a good chance to play a longer match against Japan and to win. We played at the same level in the first two sets, but in the third set, we made too many mistakes in attack. There was a crucial moment in the second set, at 21-14 where we had many problems with reception. Japan played better and they deserve the victory."
Japan coach Masayoshi Manabe: "Firstly, we are happy to play against Italy, one of the strongest teams in the world. We won today's match due to a better performance in our serve."

Kodak, Sun Settle Java Lawsuit
Eastman Kodak Co. and Sun Microsystems Inc. have settled their lawsuit over whether Sun infringed on Kodak's patents in creating the Java platform.
Eastman Kodak Co. and Sun Microsystems Inc. have settled their lawsuit over whether Sun infringed on Kodak's patents in creating the Java platform.
The two sides came to an out-of-court agreement Wednesday night, before they would enter the penalty or awards phases of a trial in which a jury found Sun guilty last Friday.
Read more here about the initial phase of the trial between Kodak and Sun.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and neither Kodak nor Sun would comment on the settlement. But Kodak said earlier this week that it was seeking more than $1 billion in damages from Sun.
A Rochester, N.Y., jury found Oct. 1 that Sun infringed on Kodak's patents when it created Java and released the technology in 1995. Kodak is based in Rochester and is the city's largest employer.
At issue were three patents that Kodak inherited when it acquired Wang Laboratories Inc. in 1997. Kodak claims that Java infringes on parts of these three patents.
"Kodak has made and continues to make substantial technology investments to ensure high-quality products," said James Blamphin, a spokesman for the company. "We are pleased that the court has validated our intellectual property rights protecting these valuable innovations for the benefit of our customers and shareholders."
One of the patents at issue indicates a means by which "two processes that are to cooperate in a data-interchange operation identify each other, and to identify data formats they have in common." And some observers say that, taken broadly, the same patents might be used to claim infringement by Microsoft's .Net platform.
Sun denied that it infringed on the Kodak patents during a three-week trial. After the jury announced its finding, Sun spokeswoman May Petry said the company was prepared to defend its intellectual property rights.
"We intend to put on a vigorous defense and hope to reach a decision that will be in the best interest of shareholders, customers and Sun," Petry said in a statement released at the time. "We will also continue to vigorously protect and defend our IP when appropriate."
If Kodak and Sun had not settled the case, the trial on Thursday would have entered the penalty phase, where Kodak planned to seek more than $1 billion in damages from Sun.
