Those low prices lasted for the first two hours of the station's grand opening. A steady line of customers continued down the street for quite awhile. It's a line drivers say they didn't mind.
"That's amazing. I'm happy about that because gas prices have been so high," customer Charles Connolly said.
Many smiles at the pump Tuesday evening as the new Phillips 66 gas station held its grand opening at the corner of Fulton and Franklin.
Construction manager Charles Russelburg says he partnered with a few people from the Indianapolis area starting work on the station in late August.
"We wanted to make a big impact and we wanted to touch as many people in Evansville as possible," Russelburg said.
To make that big impact, gas prices were as low as $2.59 a gallon for the first couple hours, with lines stretching down the street.
"Maybe five minutes or so waiting," customer Robert Weber said.
"It was moving pretty quick. I'd say maybe ten minutes was all I sat in line," another customer, Amy Naas said.
Even when prices went back up, Russelburg said, "If you're in line, we kept the price down until everyone was, was taken care of."
For the grand opening, the station also offered free drinks. One customer even won a new TV. Many customers say those low gas prices came just at the right time.
"Saving money for other things, Christmas and the holiday," Connolly said.
"We travel to DuQuoin all the time, so it helped us out a bunch on our pocketbook," Naas said.
"We're trying to put a smile on everybody's face during the holidays," Russelburg said.
Managers say three more Phillips 66 stations are set to open soon one at the corner of Upper Mt. Vernon Road and Sonntag, one on North Main, and one on Highway 261 in Newburgh.
Managers tell 14 News that the Newburgh station will open on December 22 with a special grand opening like this one, right before the holidays.

Our Experience
When most people hear of Raytheon, they think of the company's well-regarded aerospace and defense capabilities. But RPS's history of seven decades in outsourcing training demonstrates a well-developed acumen for learning solutions. Our expertise comes from the integration of training businesses that Raytheon has acquired over the years.
1930s: Through a Raytheon predecessor, we leveraged the invention of the Link simulator to evolve into the pre-eminent builder of flight simulators in the United States.
1960s: We applied our simulation expertise to the Gemini and Apollo programs, and later to Skylab, Space Shuttle and Space Station programs.
1980s: RPS launched new systems-based curriculum design and training administration services to respond to the U.S. Department of Defense's shift from buying simulators to hiring trained pilots.
1990s: RPS expanded into commercial training programs, primarily within the automotive industry. We started in North America, and then moved into Europe and Asia Pacific. Two of our programs are among the largest training outsourcing contracts ever awarded in the commercial sector.
Today: RPS is part of Raytheon's technical services business, which generates more than $2 billion in sales annually. We continue to invest in innovative learning technologies and practices as we expand into new industries and regions. We opened a shared services center in Barcelona in 2004, followed by another in Detroit in 2006. We established a presence in Russia in 2005 and in Mexico in 2006. Our growth strategy is founded on leadership in learning innovation and global scale, especially in emerging markets.
Industry Recognition Confirms the Value of our Global Training Solutions.
Over the years, RPS and our clients have been recognized around the world by professional associations, analysts and researchers for the scope, quality and impact of our learning solutions.

Doug Cutting About Hadoop's Adoption
Doug Cutting expressing his suprise with Hadoop's growth in an interview with Audrey Watters over O'Reillly Radar:
Yes. I didn't expect Hadoop to become such a central component of data processing. I recognized that Google's techniques would be useful to other search engines and that open source was the best way to spread these techniques. But I did not realize how many other folks had big data problems nor how many of these Hadoop applied to.
Hadoop is not Doug Cutting's first widely successful open source project, so I'm tempted to think this is just pure modesty.

Everything from arming teachers and principals, to putting more resource officers on campus, has been suggested to make schools safer.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is launching his own idea this week: utilizing his armed posse members near schools.
The sheriff came up with the controversial plan right after the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Litchfield Park is just one of the schools where a posse member would be close by.
The sheriff stresses the armed posse member will not be in the school, or on the campus. Instead, the posse member would be patrolling the perimeter in marked cars.
Posse members are volunteers who have their own guns and they are insured by MCSO.
"We're going to do everything we can to deter anybody who feels they can come into the school and cause havoc," said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Arpaio is going to start with schools in county islands, where he already has jurisdiction. He'll start with about 50 schools in areas like Cave Creek, Anthem, Fountain Hills, Sun City, Litchfield Park, Gila Bend, Carefree, Queen Creek and Guadalupe.
He needs no permission from the schools because they are not going to be in the schools. The posse members also are not paid. They underwent training for the new idea.
"Usually there are some warning signs that a person is in a place they don't need to be or are not supposed to be, there are warning signs they don't fit in," said posse volunteer Dave Vickers.
It's similar to what Arpaio does during the holidays at the malls, using posse members to patrol the areas. It's been successful in the past.
Arizona House Rep. Chad Campbell says he will propose a bill that will double the amount of money in the program that funds school resource officers -- and he opposes the Sheriff's plan.
"For all the people that are talking about arming volunteers and putting them on or near school campuses. I want them to ask themselves one question. What happens the first time a volunteer or teacher shoots a student on accident?" said Campbell.
The sheriff says until a decision is reached, he wants the posse to patrol until the end of the school year.

The Dos and Don'ts of a Good Toddler App
If you've felt that pang of guilt as you hand your iPhone to the screaming toddler in the backseat, help is here! Common Sense Media weighs in on what makes a good (or bad!) smartphone app for the little ones
Toddlers love life's simple pleasures, like ice cream and hide-and-seek, but any parent knows the immeasurable allure of that certain gadget: the smartphone.
"A lot of parents use their devices around their kids and there is definitely an attraction there on the child's part. Their moms have something and they want to use it," says mother of two Ingrid Simone, a senior editor at the San Francisco-based non-profit Common Sense Media.
Child health experts haven't exactly been enamored with the trend, warning that children age 2 and older shouldn't spend more than an hour or two in front of a screen—including television—per day. (And for those under 2? No TV at all.) The good news is that if your screen of choice is a smartphone or tablet, you'll have your pick of apps designed especially for young children.
"It's been sort of a natural progression in children's toys," Simone said.
Of course, not all apps are created equal. Common Sense Media posts reviews of tech tools geared for kids and Simone, who specializes in apps, said parents should be wary of those that include too much activity or pointless distractions.
A storybook app, for instance, shouldn't include meaningless "bells and whistles" that aren't relevant to the actual story. A recent study, Simon noted, found that children's reading comprehension can suffer if there are too many distractions in e-books.
Another sign of a bad app? Those that don't mesh with how a 2-year-old physically interacts with a smart device.
"They have little hands and little fingers feeling all over the place—an app that doesn't take that into account is a bad app," Simone said.
The best apps for the age 2 set, she said, focus on developing a child's social-emotional learning and deal with subjects that are already part of a tot's life, such as animals and music.
"Anything that can help a child figure out how he or she relates to the world is great," she said.
But perhaps no one can better help a child relate to her world than her own parent—so much for handing junior an iPad and burying yourself in a novel!—so Common Sense Media also gives high marks to apps that encourage parent participation.
Overall, parents should look for apps that combine education and fun.
"A good app that is educational is going to be entertaining," Simone said.

Earlier in the season, Larry Coons projected the 2013 salary cap to be set around $60 mil. This insider article by Marc Stein has reported that the actually cap will be a disappointing $58,500,000. This would leave Portland with an estimated $15,259,324 in cap room. Subract the $473,604 for each roster spot the team has not met the league minimum roster of 12, and the Blazer have $13,364,908 in avaiable cap space before decisions are made on the following:
Pavlovich has a team option of $1,399,507. (no word yet)
The 10th Pick of the 2013-2014 season has a cap hold of $1,930,600. DRAFTED CJ
Eric Maynor has a cap hold of $5,846,803. WAVED CAP HOLD.
JJ Hickson has a cap hold of $7,600,000. (no word yet)
Blazer will have the $2.5 mil Room exception available. It cannot be combined with available cap space to sign a free agent.
UPDATE June 29:
To my knowledge Blazers are looking at $12 mil ($11,907,910) in available cap space with 2 decisions pending on Pavlovich and Hickson, as I haven't heard any information regaurding either.
UPDATE July 1:
Portland currently sits at $8.8 mil in available cap space after the trade for Thomas Robinson becomes official on July 10.
UPDATE July 4:
Portland has $3.7 mil in available cap after 3 team deal sending Evans to Pelicans, Vaquez to Sac, and C Robin Lopez to Blazer (for nothing). Portland still has their $2.6 mil Room exception.
A S&T with Houston (JJ for Asik) would have been a home run, but more wishful thinking on my part. Key phrase for this off-season: Asset Aquisition. Like it or hate it, I am optimistic the Blazers are in MUCH better shape than last season. We can only hope Olshey packages some of these assets at some point for players that are needle movers. Between the draft and FA, I believe the needle has been moved a great deal as the Blazer bench was simply aweful last season.
Posted 07/04/2013 12:36 PM
Good work there BlazerFanatic.
I agree with you, if the last move gets confirmed, we basically have all or main needs filled.

Lopez is coming off his best season. I'm not going to pretend to over sell this, but the fact remains, Portland needed a STARTING center. Withey may be a great prospect, but with so few assets, the Blazers are making the most of their current and future 2nd round picks it would seem.
When you have nothing at Center but Leonard, Withey is an upgrade to the back up PF. Certainly most can agree Lopez is an upgrade to both Leonard and Withey.
We can only hope Olshey isn't done. Blazers still looking at around $3.5-3.7 in cap room and their $2.6 mil Room exception.

although Lopez only averaged 5.6 boards a game last season the 1.6 blocks a game in only 26 minutes is exactly what we need, LMA and Lopez will need to be pulling down those boards with no JJ owning the glass

Looks like we won't have second round picks for the next several years parting with two for Crabbe, two in the Thomas Robinson trade and two more in this trade.
Not that I am really caring about those picks.
As long as we sign Matt Barnes then we will have some actual bench depth.
We have not made any flashy moves but most of them have been solid.

True, and this was a blockbuster deal. But what I find very encouraging about this aquisition is his 2.8 offensive rebounds per game (a much better indicator of his rebounding ability) and that he played all 82 games averaging 24 minutes per game. Face it, he played on a horrible team with a perimeter PF in Anderson and Rookie PF in Davis. I think he's in a great position to take another big step forward (knock on wood), with a better team.
Jan 29th vs LAL - Lopez: 9 Reb (6 offensive) and 16 points vs Howard: (4 reb 24 pts)
March 17th vs Minn - Lopez: 20 pts 11 reb (8 offensive) vs Pekovic: 13 pts 6 reb
March 22nd vs Grizz - Lopez: 23 pts 10 reb (6 offensive) 4 blk vs Gasol: 16 pts 6 reb 1 blk
Apr 3rd vs GS - Lopez: 17 pts 7 reb (3 offensive) vs Bogut: 4 pts 9 reb
Apr 12th vs LAC - Lopez: 19 pts 12 reb (8 offensive) vs Jordan 5 pts 3 reb
Don't let the hair fool you. The Blazers made out pretty well in this deal and got a solid big that will definitely make LA's job easier.

Haha, bet you're really hating the no edit thing now Blazer Fanatic. And I hope you're right. I will support Lopez 100%, and here's hoping his rebounding and defence picks up.
Posted 07/04/2013 9:48 PM
I don't get why they can just add a GD edit button. It drives me crazy.
When you factor in Lopez's price tag, even with the trade kicker (which Portland pays because his contract was made prior to the new CBA) I think it's a great fit that not only fills a huge hole at center, but will allow Portland enough flexibility to field a respectable bench that was so bad utterly terrible last season.
Posted 07/04/2013 9:54 PM
Since Portland gave cash to the hornets how much cap do we have left?
Posted 07/04/2013 10:19 PM
I wasn't aware of the trade kicker when I made this thread. If I understand how the trade bonus (kicker) works, his kicker is $1,568,999 and because he has no gauranteed salary the year after this year (and with 2 years left on his current contract), I believe the entire amount is applied to this year. Meaning the cap hit is $6.69 mil.
It looks like that would leave Portland with $2.1 mil in available cap room, with their Room exception ($2.6 mil) still available, as well as the ability to sign any number of FA to minimum contracts as well as their rookies.

Constructed World Resources 8: Miscellania
By Brian Slattery.
A bunch of random, and slightly more humorous links that relate to the above topics.
- The Compleat Encyclopaedia of Compendious Historical Lexicons of Obscure and Archaic Vernacular and Nomenclature : The best dictionary on the web! So great, it knows definitions of words that don't even exist!
- Discover Kymaerica : An article about Kymaerica, a sort of conworld layer above the real world. Weird, gonzo stuff that stretches the boundaries of what it means to invent a world.
- Encounter 2001 Message : How much can you decipher? Come on, the whole galaxy's watching!
- Omnilingual : If you don't want to suss out the above link, read this instead. Science and math end up being a Rosetta Stone for the Martian language in this short story.
- Carax's "Hymn to Merde" : You'll be singing this in your dreams…whether you like it or not! Think about how the weird conlang contributes to the feel of the video itself. Also, Merdogon (the language) was created by a Frenchman. Maybe it's clearer if you know French, but the conlang clearly is indebted to that language in a subtle, synesthetic way. Your conlangs are probably "American" (or whatever) in the same way.
- The Pressures of the Text : Sometimes you build languages up, and sometimes, they come crashing down. Maybe Babel was caused by rampant academese?
- New English Calligraphy : I couldn't find any one site that sums this up, so here's a Google image search of Xu Bing's New English Calligraphy. English is transformed into a sort of dialect of Chinese simply by changing the letterforms and the way it is written. You might not believe it, but you can read every one of these images.
- The origins of abc : Where did our alphabet come from, anyhow? You might know the general history, but here it is, step-by-step and illustrated beautifully by large images of ancient hieroglyphs and Greek graffiti.

The province of Grosseto is one of the most fascinating in Tuscany, famous for its varied landscapes that move from beaches and marshes to olive groves, flat plains and dense forests. The medieval town of Grosseto is at its heart and what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with the extraordinary beauty of its ancient architecture including the Medici Fortress. With wildlife parks, golf courses, long stretches of coast and popular festivals, Grosseto has something to cater to all tastes.
HomeAway has a large selection of holiday properties throughout the province. Most holiday villas in Grosseto are situated on the coast, in the heart of the countryside and in ancient towns. One of the most spectacular locations is near the volcanic peak of Monte Amiata, where there are large holiday properties to choose from. HomeAway's Grosseto holiday apartments are also situated in prime spots, and like the villas, feature such facilities as DVD players, televisions and music systems.
-Beaches: There are dozens of beaches across Grosseto offering plenty of places to sunbathe and pursue watersports and sailing. The Marina di Grosseto resort is very popular, with a wild, sandy expanse over six kilometres long, leading down to clean, clear water. Porto Santo Stefano has lots of attractive coves and Porto Ercole is a pretty harbour linked to the beaches of Monte Argentario.
-Nature: Nature lovers have hundreds of thousands of acres to explore. Parco Naturale della Maremma e Monti dell'Uccellina is a protected, unspoilt area of the Maremma coast and includes marshes and many colonies of wading birds. The Natural Reserve of the Lagoon of Orbetello attracts migrating birds such as the pink flamingo and the white heron.
-Historic monuments: The town of Grosseto has a hexagonal 16th-century wall that's dominated by an imposing Medici Fortress. Inside Grosseto are a Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral filled with religious artworks, and the ancient church of Saint Francesco. Also within the city walls are medieval palaces including the Neo-Gothic Palazzo Aldobrandeschi.
-Sports: Golf lovers can immerse themselves in their favourite pastime in a number of scenic locations such as Punta Ala in Gavorrano and Porto Ercole. Divers have a great choice of good diving spots off the nearby islands of Giglio, Giannutri and Formiche di Grosseto. There's also great snorkelling along the coastline and in many of the coves and bays.
-Festivals: Folk and traditional festivals are important to Grosseto, and include religious Feast Days of Patron Saints like the Feast of San Cerbone in Massa Marittima and the Feast of St. Erasmus in Porto Ercole. Other festivals that visitors with holiday villas in Grosseto can enjoy include Balestro del Girifalco with its costume parade in Massa Marittima. This is held on the fourth Sunday of May and the second Sunday of August.
Grosseto has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, but wet winters. The peak summer temperatures are felt in July and August when 30°C is the norm. January and February are the coldest months when daily temperatures hover around the 3°C mark. December is the wettest month.
Travellers with Grosseto holiday apartments who are flying into the area can land at Rome Fiumicino, Florence Airport and Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport. They are – respectively – 175 kilometres, 150 kilometres and 154 kilometres from Grosseto city centre. There are good rail connections with Rome, Florence and Pisa and buses travel to most towns in the province.

Purple red in color, this Dolcetto has an intense nose with fruity aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and blueberry.

"The 2010 Dolcetto d'Alba is a gorgeous wine with the trademark Altare richness, plenty of varietal character and fabulous depth.

With Omar Minaya's days as general manager numbered, I thought now would be as good a time as any to try to take an objective look at the various Mets teams he has assembled during his days as GM. This isn't another excuse to tear Minaya down, it's a way to look at what he did, to identify his good moves and his mistakes, and how future Mets GMs may learn from them. In order to give a thorough examination for every aspect of the teams he has built, I am going to be breaking each team into small parts, and from there piecing these small parts together until we have a big picture. The first thing I am going to examine is Omar Minaya's 2005 starting pitchers.
Tom Glavine, Al Leiter, Kris Benson, Steve Trachsel, Aaron Heilman
-Declined Al Leiter's option for 2005 and allowed Leiter to sign with Florida Marlins as a free agent.
-Re-signed Kris Benson to 3-year, $22.5 million contract.
-Signed Pedro Martinez to 4-year, $53 million contract.
-Traded Jason Phillips to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Kaz Ishii in Spring Training.
Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Kaz Ishii, Victor Zambrano, Aaron Heilman
Tom Glavine, Victor Zambrano, Kris Benson, Jae Seo, Steve Trachsel
Mets Starter WAR:
Pedro Martinez:Â Â 5.9
Tom Glavine:Â Â Â Â Â 3.7
Jae Seo:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2.2
Kris Benson:Â Â Â Â Â 1.7
Victor Zambrano:Â 1.6
Aaron Heilman:Â Â Â 0.6
Steve Trachsel:Â Â 0.1
Kaz Ishii:Â Â Â Â Â Â -0.2
Total WAR:Â Â Â Â Â Â 15.6
-Kaz Ishii placed on the DL on April 22nd. Replaced in the rotation by Jae Seo.
-Kris Benson returns from the disabled list on May 5. Jae Seo sent back to Norfolk.
-Kaz Ishii returns from disabled list on May 16th. Aaron Heilman sent to the bullpen.
-Kaz Ishii sent to Norfolk on August 5th. Replaced in the rotation by Jae Seo.
-Steve Trachsel returns from the disabled list on August 22nd. Victor Zambrano sent to the bullpen.
-Pedro Martinez shut down with two weeks to go in the season. Replaced in the rotation by Victor Zambrano.
As far as starting rotations go, it doesn't get more simple than this. The Mets only used eight starting pitchers in 2005, which is low considering they would use no fewer than eleven starters in any other season under Minaya. The starting rotation at the end of the season was roughly the same as it was at the beginning of spring training, except swap Jae Seo out for Pedro Martinez (who missed his final two starts, though I can't remember why, I'd assume it was due to some sort of nagging injury). Spoiler alert: that will not happen again under Minaya's watch.
Perhaps the simplicity that the 2005 Mets provided Minaya was a reason that his future rotations seemed so ill-prepared. This team only suffered a few minor injuries. Kris Benson missed the first month with a pec injury and Kaz Isii missed a month with a pulled muscle, but those both happened early in the season.  After Ishii came off of the DL, the team did not suffer another injury setback until the end of the season (assumine that Martinez did miss those starts due to injury), a ridiculous run of good health, especially considering the past injury issues suffered by Martinez, Benson, and Zambrano. Quite fortunate, as I don't even know who would have made spot starts for the team had they needed a ninth or tenth starter.
The only major injury of this season took place in spring training. Steve Trachsel went into camp projected to be the fifth starter, but suffered a herniated disk in spring training and missed most of the season. Three days after Trachsel's surgery was announced, the team traded Jason Phillips to the Dodgers for Ishii, as they lacked confidence in either Aaron Heilman or Jae Seo as regular starting pitchers.
Acquiring Ishii probably wasn't a completely terrible idea, even if he hadn't pitched particularly well in three seasons for the Dodgers.  All it cost them was Phillips, who never again matched his 2003 numbers and had no real place on the 2005 Mets after they signed Ramon Castro. Yet in the end, the trade was a failure, and Ishii was back in Japan the next season.
The 2005 season stands out in another way, besides the rotation's relative health; it was the only season without a full-fledged starting rotation battle. The Mets went into spring training with five set starters, acquired another one when Trachsel went down, and it was only after Benson got hurt that they went to a battle between Heilman and Seo for the fifth starter job. Heilman edged out Seo for the spot, yet both would both get turns in the rotation.  Heilman pitched 42 innings as a starter before being banished to the bullpen for the rest of his career.  Seo would receive two shots at starting, both times at the expense of Ishii, first due to injury and the second due to ineffectiveness.
Overall, this would have to go down as a pretty successful year for Mets starting pitching. Pedro Martinez was awesome, Tom Glavine had his best season as a Met, Jae Seo was pretty good in his limited big league action, and Benson and Zambrano both ate some innings, if nothing else. Ishii was the only starter that was actively bad, but at least the team had the good sense to replace him with Seo when it became obvious that he stunk. Add good performances, good health, and a little bit of good luck, and you have a pretty good starting rotation. Sadly, future Mets teams would never quite match the 2005 staff in any of those categories, as we will soon see.

What's the easiest way to get rid of a pesky black bear?
Stacey Lynch says one of her neighbors' solutions was to poison it.
"There was a plate of food in the middle of the street. I thought that was kind of random," Lynch says.
That random plate turned out to be deadly, but it didn't kill the black bear spotted in their east Naples neighborhood.
Instead, Lynch says it killed her dog, Rocco.
"I can assure you he got poisoned from that plate of food," she says.
Lynch says Rocco ate the plate of food. Her vet says he then tested positive for antifreeze, forcing her to put him down.
"They said a lot of times people use that to poison animals and get rid of pesky rodents around the house," Lynch says.
Rocco's poisoning has prompted an investigation by Collier County Domestic Animal Services.
"There could have been a child that was poisoned or killed and that's scary," Lynch says.
DAS says it's too early to tell if the food contained poison or if it was meant for the bear.
As for the protected black bears, Florida Fish and Wildlife says they're welcome to stay in the Quail Hollow community as long as they aren't threatening.

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
"It's ridiculous. I hate to sound like I'm attacking the WWE or (I) devalue what they did because Vince McMahon, say whatever you want -- and he's always smashing us and talking s—t about us, but I will tell you this, I was watching WWE I was a little kid and Vince was the commentator in WWE -- this guy has been kicking ass, breaking rules and doing things that people said he couldn't do over and over and over again. Now I'm older I don't get the whole thing, it doesn't work for me, but what he's able to do, the ratings he's able to pull and the things he's done ... And when I look at his model and he's basically taking everything in and devalued it. Saying everything we do is worth $10. That doesn't make sense to me," White said during a media luncheon on Monday. If he pulls in 2 million subscribers, he's crushing it. So it's a risky move, it's a crazy move, but Vince has been doing risky, crazy s—t since the beginning of time. If anybody can do it, maybe Vince can do it."

While he portrays an arrogant and dominating boyfriend on Impact Wrestling, Chris Sabin is doing the total opposite on his Twitter account. He has been posting sad messages about missing Velvet Sky. He even stated that only half of him is celebrating his birthday, as his other half is now gone.
It was revealed earlier in the week that TNA had signed Alpha Female, a wrestler who is known in Europe. Management has decided to pair her up with Chris Sabin, who recently broke up with Velvet Sky on screen. The relationship is designed to be a focal story line point for the Knockouts division.
Chris Sabin decided to do a little taunting by posting on Twitter how he won the TNA X Division Championship all on his own.
While they play a troubled couple on screen for TNA, former world champion Chris Sabin and former Knockouts champion Velvet Sky are actually dating. The two of them have been romantically involved with one another for quite some time now.
On Impact Wrestling, Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Sabin to advance in the TNA World Heavyweight Championship tournament.
Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.

Soccer month in Tucson starts now.
The beautiful game takes control of our imagination for the next 40 days beginning with an International Friendly Saturday between Canada and Denmark.
This will be the third year of the Desert Diamond Cup and third time in which Major League Soccer invades Southern Arizona for it's winter training camps.
MLS possesses United States game rights for the Olympic gold medal winning Team Mexico and Denmark will play the Mexicans Wednesday in a Friendly up in Glendale at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Tucson game with Canada came about because MLS was looking for a place for the Danes to play a tuneup for that match against Mexico.
So let's start with Team Canada. The Canadians have not had a lot of success of late on the world scene.
The country to our north has failed to qualify for the last sis World Cups. 1986 was Canada's last appearance on the World Cup stage.
In October the club suffered an 8-1 setback in a qualifier to Honduras knocking them out of a chance to play in the 2014 World Cup. The loss put into motion yet another coaching change for the National team as Colin Miller replaced Stephen Hart on an interim basis.
Denmark on the other hand was pretty good as late as the 1990s winning FIFA and European Championships and making it to the quarterfinals of the 1998 World Cup.
Both teams wear red and white. Kickoff at Kino Stadium is set for 1 p.m.

Strapless A Line Gown with Beaded Belt Detail Style COP141 2 2
Picture perfect dress! This dress was everything I wanted in my wedding dress and more. So much more beautiful in person! The lace is gorgeous and delicate with a very romantic feel. Perfect amount of sparkle, everyone loved the belt. Also had the right amount of poof to the skirt without being over the top. My only complaint was it was so hot and heavy! Granted it was 80 degrees on my wedding day, but I was very hot under the multiple layers of tulle and the satin. Despite 5 alteration appointments, the satin was so heavy that my dress was falling down at the end of the night, which is partly because it is a strapless dress. I did a french bustle which showed off the lace on the back beautifully (as shown in picture I attached). Recommended accessories: 1. Satin Torsolette Style 8950 so you don't have to fuss with a strapless bra 2. Diana Charmeuse Pleated Peep Toe (I did mine in Lapis to match my bridesmaids#. 3. Style S-2659 for jewelry #which you can kind of see in the picture I attached). The teardrop shaped jewels matched the beading on the dress perfectly and was inexpensive. August 1, 2014
More Beautiful in Person After trying on about 15 dresses I found this dress on the clearance rack and as soon as I put it on I fell in love. It is soo much more beautiful in person. The beading on the dress is so elegant. I am an older bride (44) so I did not want a big ball gown but I also did not want a dress that hugged too tightly. I had a few minor alterations to take the dress in a little more around the hips and it was perfect. Thank you David's Bridal for the amazing dress. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day.

1. director's NOTE
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Division Director for the CNM. I am very excited about taking on this new role and look forward to interacting with many of you. I joined the Materials Science Division at Argonne in 2005 and prior to that was on the faculty at the University of Oxford in the UK. My research interests are in ferroic nanomaterials; I have had particular interests in materials with potential applications in information storage systems and also the development of in situ transmission electron microscopy facilities for studying the behavior of nanomaterials.
The CNM is a vibrant division of Argonne with outstanding staff scientists and facilities and our user base is very strong. As we prepare for our upcoming review (more on this later), I have had the opportunity to look through user and staff research highlights as well as the very impressive list of publications produced by the users and staff. As a CNM user myself, I know the importance of providing a valuable user experience, and I hope that those of you who come to use the CNM's facilities and interact with the staff find this a positive experience — we very much value the outstanding science that you achieve.
The DOE triennial peer review of the CNM is taking place this year. We are in the midst of preparing the review documents, and the onsite review will take place in May. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the CNM users who have helped us to prepare for this important event by providing the information that was requested of you. I regard the review as an excellent opportunity for the CNM to step back from its day-to-day activities and make strategic plans regarding future directions, and it also serves as an opportunity for the CNM to showcase our exciting science through oral presentations and posters that will be presented by staff and users.
As mentioned in the last newsletter, the CNM was fortunate to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to support five new capabilities. One of these is the tripling of the capacity of our supercomputer cluster — see the Facility Highlight for more details.
We look forward to seeing you at the CNM, and I hope that you will find all of the articles in this newsletter stimulating.

For memory applications, it is imperative to reduce the size of ferroelectric capacitors without losing polarization and thermal stability. BiFeO3 (BFO) has high polarization and a high ferroelectric transition temperature, but as the lateral size shrinks, symmetry and edge effects may influence electric and strain field distributions. BFO nanocapacitors with dimensions in the 50- to 500-nm range were fabricated by using radio-frequency magnetron sputter deposition. Focused-ion-beam lithography patterned the nanostructures. A collaborative team from the University of Puerto Rico, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Northwestern University, and Argonne National Laboratory, working with CNM's Nanofabrication and Devices Group, also studied the dependence of domain configuration and behavior on nanocapacitor shape upon oxygen annealing. Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) images suggest that square capacitors have a mono-domain configuration, whereas round ones exhibit a seven-domain configuration in as-fabricated states. These findings have critical implications for the development of nanocapacitors for energy harvesting ferroelectric solar cells and next-generation high-density, nonvolatile ferroelectric memories.

Direct evidence of the formation of discrete high-calcium nanometer-sized particles within a binder structure of a hydroxide-activated geopolymer synthesized from a low-calcium fly ash has been obtained by a diverse team from the University of Melbourne, the Universidad del Valle of Colombia, and Argonne National Laboratory working collaboratively with CNM's X-Ray Microscopy Group. The existence of such structures within geopolymers has previously been subject of much speculation. Additionally, the level of readily available and toxic chromium in a fly ash geopolymer was found to be significantly lower than the total chromium content of the precursor fly ash. Use of the Hard X-Ray Nanoprobe provided the first access to the nature of heterogeneity in real fly ash-derived geopolymers at the nanoscale employing scanning x-ray fluorescence. Geopolymers are currently being developed as an environmentally beneficial replacement for Portland cement for concrete production, offering comparable performance and cost while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a factor of about 5.

The calcium map of a fly ash geopolymer exhibits localized regions of high calcium concentration (circled). The distribution of calcium is highly inhomogeneous on a length scale of tens to hundreds of nanometers, suggesting localization as a discrete calcium-rich phase within the geopolymer gel.
Users from the University of Chicago and Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, working collaboratively with CNM's Nanobio Interfaces Group, have experimentally observed a dramatic increase of the twinning probability in self-assembled nanocrystal superstructures with increasing nanocrystal size. This is likely a result of both the size dependence of the twinning energy, and the "softer" interparticle potentials active during assembly of larger nanocrystals. The incorporation of twin planes in the fcc lattice can lower the total energy of the entire crystal by reducing the area of high energy surface facets while keeping the surface-to-volume ratio as small as possible. A deep understanding of the fundamental principles that govern self-assembly of nanoparticles into single- and multicomponent superlattices is crucially important for the development of nanocrystal-based devices, such as LEDs, solar cells, photodetectors, and thermoelectric heat-to-electricity converters. The presence of twin planes in nanocrystal superlattices also has implications in the fabrication of nanocrystal-based devices, such as photodetectors and solar cells.

High-critical-temperature superconducting wire formed from REBa2Cu3O7 (REBCO) in thin-film form on long lengths of textured metal tape is becoming a viable "zero resistance" substitute for copper in electric power applications. There is a need to reduce the size and volume fraction of nonsuperconducting secondary phases (NSPs) in the REBCO film matrix because they diminish the flow of critical current. Raman microscopy measurements of the type made possible with the state-of-the-art Raman instrumentation in the CNM Nanophotonics Group have allowed users from Argonne's Chemical Sciences & Engineering and Materials Science Divisions to identify and spatially map the NSPs in REBCO-coated conductor tapes. They performed through-time and through-thickness Raman examinations of the evolution of NSPs during film formation. This methodology provides a means to optimize the precursor conversion parameters (e.g., temperature, O2 pressure, H2O pressure). The findings contributed to significant performance improvements in a promising DOE superconducting technology program that emphasizes energy efficiency.
