DUBLIN, Ireland, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m6bwz7/global_acrylic) has announced the addition of the "Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The analysts forecast the Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives market to grow at a CAGR of 6.64 percent over the period 2014-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increased demand for super-absorbent polymers which are formed by the polymerization of acrylic acid. The Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives market has also been witnessing the increasing production of bio-based acrylic acid from sugar feedstock. However, the increasing cost of raw materials such as propylene and brent crude oil, which are used for the production of acrylic acid, could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The report, the Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers North America, Europe, the APAC region, and the ROW; it also covers the Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
The Global Acrylic Acid and its Derivatives market is expected to witness an increase in the production of bio-based acrylic acid. For instance, Dow Chemical, a leading vendor, is expected to commence the commercial production of acrylic acid derived from the fermentation of sugar between 2014 and 2016. The acrylic acid thus produced will be obtained from the intermediate 3-hydroxypropionic acid. Additionally, BASF is expected to collaborate with other companies such as Novozymes A/S and Cargill Inc. for the production of bio-based acrylic acid from 3-hydroxypropionic acid.
According to the report, one of the most important drivers is the increased demand for super-absorbent polymers. Super-absorbent polymers are formed through the polymerization of acrylic acid. The increased demand for such polymers from end-user segments such as Baby Diapers and Adult Incontinence Products is expected to contribute significantly to the demand for acrylic acid.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the increase in the cost of raw materials such as propylene and Brent crude oil, which are used to produce acrylic acid.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

From "Jaws" to "Jurassic Park," few directors can rival Steven Spielberg in the blockbuster arena. But even Spielberg's magic touch couldn't save "The BFG" at the box office.
On paper, the film, a $140 million adaptation of a beloved children's book with a script by "ET" writer Melissa Mathison, had all the makings of a hit. Instead, the movie collapsed at the multiplexes, eking out less than $20 million in its opening weekend.
It's a stunning fall for one of cinema's highest-flying talents — a director whose finger was affixed to the pulse of mainstream tastes for decades. Yet "The Bfg" is only the latest high-profile casualty in a summer that's seen a slew of big-budget domestic bombs. Indeed, red ink has spilled out from such misses as "Alice Through the Looking Glass," "Warcraft," "The Legend of Tarzan," and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, »

We look at the data around this subpar summer.
Summer is the perfect time for massive blockbusters to hit theaters and rake in the cash. School is out, the days are longer and hotter, and the movie theaters offer a cool and relaxing escape. Except, 2016's summer offerings have been pretty underwhelming, both critically and financially. People weren't exactly lining up to score tickets to one of the many dismal sequels released this summer (looking at you Alice Through the Looking Glass) and even the critical hits (The Shallows, anyone?) failed to connect with audiences. Box office returns are down 22% compared to where we were this time last year. comScore box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian said that "there is no question that the summer of 2016 thus far has been a bit of a bummer, with the underperformers outnumbering the over-performers." Ouch.
So where have we seen the box office breakouts this year? Well »

The BBC and Weinstein TV announced that BAFTA-winning screenwriter Andrew Davies (War and Peace) has signed on to adapt Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Miserables as a six-part drama.
"Most of us are familiar with the musical version which only offers a fragmentary outline of its story," states Davis. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity of doing real justice to Victor Hugo at last by adapting his masterpiece in a six hour version for the BBC, with the same team who made War and Peace."
"Andrew Davies' extraordinary skill for adaptation will bring the world famous Les Misérables into powerful focus for a modern audience with a multi-layered re-telling of Victor Hugo's masterpiece", adds Charlotte Moore, director of content at the BBC. "BBC One viewers can expect the same quality and scale from the team behind War and Peace in this epic tale of redemption and the healing power of love. »

The competitive reality series entitled "Republican National Convention" hit an astonishing climax in its penultimate episode Wednesday night, when Senator Ted Cruz — a fallen competitor from a previous season — took the stage under the guise of friendship, only to use his speech to metaphorically bite his thumb at the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
Of course, this reality series takes place in an arena we like to call "real life." But this Cruz/Trump showdown had all the hallmarks of a highly produced television match-up — an old foe returning to the WWE arena, only to heel turn at the climactic moment; a previously ejected contestant returned to compete with the finalists, purely for the added drama.
The audience played along, too. The crowd whipped itself into frenzy as Cruz's speech didn't arrive at the declaration of endorsement that everyone expected from his short remarks. By the end, audience members were booing, loudly »

Production on the first movie in Universal's planned monsters universe, The Mummy, has officially wrapped. Shooting has been taking place in London over the past few weeks, but that all came to an end at the weekend as Tom Cruise and co. completed proceedings on a location shoot in the heart of the city.
Just Jared managed to post one final set pic which you can see below.

Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis make a break for safety in the final set photos for Universal's reboot of The Mummy, now that principal photography has officially wrapped.
Cruise and the Peaky Blinders actress were spotted filming last-minute scenes on the streets of London, running square in front of a giant fan. Is it possible that Sofia Boutella's ancient deity will be whipping up a literal storm in the English capital? Time will tell.
What we do know, however, is a general overview of the story fuelling Alex Kurtzman's long-awaited franchise overhaul, as the filmmaker looks to unlock Universal's world of gods and monsters.

Last week, fans got their first look at The Mummy star Sofia Boutella with set photos as production continues. Filming has been under way since late April, when we got our first look at Tom Cruise and his co-star Annabelle Wallis. As production continues, we have even more photos of Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis who are seen springing into action.
The photos surfaced on various Twitter pages, featuring Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis going on the run from unseen enemies. There is very little we know about the scene itself, except both actors are seen running from someone, or something. It's certainly possible that both stars were running from Sofia Boutella's title character, but we don't know for certain.

Universal Pictures is certainly shooting high when it comes to casting for its Classic Monsters Universe. Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe are on board for The Mummy and Johnny Depp has signed on for The Invisible Man, while other rumoured names include Dwayne Johnson (The Wolf Man), Scarlett Johansson (Creature from the Black Lagoon) and Angelina Jolie (Bride of Frankenstein).
Well, it looks like we may soon be adding another name to the star-studded universe, with Variety reporting that Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (No County For Old Men) is in talks to star in Frankenstein, although it's unclear whether he'll be portraying Dr. Victor Frankenstein, or his monstrous creation.

Get ready for more reboot franchise mayhem because Universal's Monster Cinematic Universe is growing: Javier Bardem has signed on to play Frankenstein's Monster.
Without any superheros to rely on, the studio is going back to their canon of classic horror icons and roping in some big names. Tom Cruise is the lead in next year's The Mummy revamp, with Russell Crowe also appearing as Dr. Jekyll. Johnny Depp has been confirmed as the Invisible Man for his own stand alone film. Their names may carry cache but each is in need of a (non-Mission: Impossible) hit we can get excited about, so here's hoping they can sommon more than another Van Helsing.
But Bardem's casting is easily the most exciting of the bunch. Let's not forget the actor does creepy so well that he got an Oscar for it, even if his most terrifying feat was his hairstyle in The Counselor. »

Universal are definitely going all out for their monster movie universe which they're kicking off with the in-production The Mummy. That film is being led by Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella, but news reaches us today that they may have found their Frankenstein in the form of Bond actor Javier Bardem.

Universal is currently in the middle of trying to launch a cinematic universe centered around their famous movie monsters. The Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise is currently filming and they have plans for a slew of other movies that will connect together at some point down the line. The studio isn't messing around in terms of going after top notch talent for these projects, and they may be about to nab another Oscar winner for a big role.

Another actor could be joining Universal's monster mash, as it's being reported that Javier Bardem (Skyfall, No Country for Old Men) could potentially play Frankenstein's monster.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bardem is in early discussions to portray Frankenstein in Universal's new monsters universe. It's not yet known if Bardem would play Dr. Frankenstein or the scientist's resurrected monster, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further details.
THR also reveals that a standalone Frankenstein film—other than the Bride of Frankenstein movie that's in the works—isn't exactly around the corner. Since Bardem is in talks to play the iconic character in the overall rebooted Universal Monsters cinematic universe rather than a Frankenstein film, the actor would likely first appear in another monster's movie before getting his name on the marquee.

Universal Pictures' Monster universe is underway and they're eyeing an Oscar-winning actor to play Frankenstein's Monster! Come inside for more details and a few set photos from the Mummy reboot!
A laundry list of stars has been formed by Universal Pictures for their Monster Universe. A list that includes Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man, Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll and now Javier Bardem as one of the most iconic monsters in cinema history, Frankenstein's Monster.
Over the years, Frankenstein's Monster has been depicted in so many different ways. From Aaron Eckhart's modern flop to 2004's Van Helsing that had him shown as a cog in Dracula's diabolical plan. However this time, Universal Pictures hopes to reinvigorate the monster by putting a massive talent, like Bardem, in his shoes.
While we don't know when Frankenstein's Monster will appear in the universe, we can assume that it won't be in The Mummy, »

It looks like Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem is on the cusp of joining fellow A-listers Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Russell Crowe in Universal Pictures' highly ambitious Monsters Movie Universe. According to Variety, Bardem has entered talks with the studio to star as Frankenstein's monster. It's uncertain which film he'll make his frightening debut, but the report adds that like Crowe's Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, his character is expected to appear in another monster feature first before possibly receiving his own solo spin-off and/or appearing in Bride of Frankenstein, which is also currently in development. Coincidentally, Bardem was previously being courted for the Dr. Jekyll role in The Mummy before passing, which led to Crowe signing on. The Mummy, the first installment in the Monsters Universe, should be wrapping in a few weeks. Alex Kurtzman is directing with Cruise headlining a stellar cast that includes Crowe, Sofia Boutella, »

Enterprising Cubans Use Condoms as Water Balloons, Flasks, and Fishing Equipment
One of the few things that is not in short supply in Cuba is apparently condoms. The government heavily subsidizes and promotes Chinese made condoms and sells three of them for the equivalent of a U.S. penny. While this may contribute to the lowest HIV rate in the western hemisphere, it also means that the people have found a hundred and one other uses for the cheap and widely available prophylactics.
The Global Post reports that condoms, which are not rationed, are blown up and used as decorations for children's birthday parties, for water balloon fights, and to keep money dry while swimming at the beach.
Perhaps one of the craftiest uses (and one that hat we could even imagine taking off in Miami) is the use of condoms as makeshift flasks.
An average Cuban may not be able to afford a Club's cover and then buy a round of drinks, so they fill condoms with liquor, keep them in their pants, and then secretly dilute it in cheaper mixers.

"If you only have $7 and the club has a $5 entry fee, you don't have any money left over for drinks," a 24-year-old Havana resident tells the Post. "So you pay the $5, and once you're inside, you buy a can of cola for $1. You drink half, then go to the bathroom, open the condom, and pour the rum into the can."
Condoms are also used as floats by fishermen who aren't allowed to use boats, and as gauges by moonshine distillers.

I found the recent WikiLeaks saga to be fascinating. Never in history has the individual had so much power to collate and distribution sensitive
information, with the ability to embarrass governments around the world and put them into damage control. But for a cloud computing vendor like myself, this story added an interesting twist.
Within hours of releasing documents, the WikiLeaks servers were under heavy attack from patriotic individuals, and likely also governments, trying to stem the flow of information. It was a typical distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, which can usually shut-down an organization like WikiLeaks with ease.
Countering the problem
What surprised me about WikiLeaks is that they didn't take the usual route of dealing with a DDOS attack by working with upsteam ISPs and traffic engineers to restrict the traffic approaching their servers. They realized that trying to stop an onslaught of traffic is both a political and technical challenge, and one that is likely to fail. Instead, they moved their services further into the cloud, distributing their content across the on-demand, readily billable and highly scalable Amazon EC2 infrastructure. It's an excellent plan that realizes that you can avoid an attack by simply throwing more infrastructure at those trying to attack you.
Smart companies should look at the cloud as part of their DDOS mitigation strategy. It costs nothing to be prepared (Amazon EC2 charges are nil until you actually spin up the servers), provides infrastructure that can rapidly scale to meet the traffic challenge and provides you with a world-wide set of data-centers across which to spread the load.
[Yes, I know that WikiLeaks were eventually kicked off the Amazon EC2 infrastructure due to political wrangling by Senator Joe Liberman, but hopefully your organization isn't that offside with the government that this should be a concern.

Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis
- Author: A Brooke W Eastham, MD; Chief Editor: Herbert S Diamond, MD more...
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), also known as hypersensitivity vasculitis and hypersensitivity angiitis, is a histopathologic term commonly used to denote a small-vessel vasculitis (see the image below).[1] Histologically, LCV is characterized by leukocytoclasis, which refers to vascular damage caused by nuclear debris from infiltrating neutrophils. LCV classically presents as palpable purpura. Less common clinical findings include urticarial plaques, vesicles, bullae, and pustules.
LCV may be secondary to medications, underlying infection, collagen-vascular disorders, or malignancy. However, approximately half of cases are idiopathic.[2, 3]
LCV may be localized to the skin or may be associated with systemic involvement.[4] Internal disease most often manifests in the joints, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and the kidneys.
In the absence of internal involvement, the prognosis is excellent, with the majority of cases resolving within weeks to months. Approximately 10% of patients will have chronic or recurrent disease.[5]
LCV may be acute or chronic. Patients with chronic disease may experience persistent lesions or intermittent recurrence. Cases that primarily involve the skin should be treated with nontoxic modalities whenever possible, avoiding the use of systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), a specific subtype of LCV warranting separate discussion, is characterized by predominant IgA-mediated vessel injury. The classic clinical findings of palpable purpura in HSP are often preceded by viral respiratory illness. HSP is more common in children, but can also occur in adults. Children may develop systemic disease with GI, joint, and/or kidney involvement. In adults, arthritis and kidney disease occur more frequently.[6] HSP in adults, especially older men, may be associated with malignancy.[7]
For additional information on HSP, see Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
For additional information on cutaneous manifestations of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, see Hypersensitivity Vasculitis (Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis).
Immune complex deposition, with resultant neutrophil chemotaxis and release of proteolytic enzymes and free oxygen radicals, is a key component in the pathophysiology of LCV.[8, 9] In addition, other autoantibodies, such as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA); inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor alpha; and enhanced expression of vascular adhesion molecules may play a role.[10] However, the exact mechanisms remain unknown.
United States
The incidence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis is unknown, but the disorder is presumed to be uncommon.
Several studies on leukocytoclastic vasculitis have been conducted in Spain.[11, 12, 13] Hypersensitivity vasculitis (see first image below) occurs in 10-30 persons per million persons per year. Fourteen cases of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (see second image below) per million persons per year have been reported.
Patients with LCV generally have a good prognosis, but if the kidneys, GI tract, lungs, heart, or central nervous system are involved, morbidity may increase and mortality can occur.
Cutaneous lesions of LCV are often asymptomatic, but may be associated with pruritus or pain.
Bullous lesions, as well as chronic cutaneous disease, may involve ulceration or painful episodes of purpura, which may cause physical limitations.
Race-, Sex-, and Age-related Demographics
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is reported more often in whites than in other races.
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis affects men and women in approximately equal proportions. Some studies from Spain suggest that LCV may be slightly more common in men than in women.
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis may occur at any age. Henoch-Schönlein purpura is more common in children under 10 years of age.

Josh Williams, Beaten by Cops in June, Gets Specious Charges Dropped
Prosecutors in Brooklyn yesterday dismissed all charges against Josh Williams, a gay man who was beaten by police officers outside the 79th Precinct station house on June 2.
Williams [pictured at right], 26, had been charged with resisting arrest following the violent early morning encounter in which he was slammed against a car by police and onto the sidewalk, after an officer falsely accused him of urinating on the station house. At least one of the officers used a homophobic slur in the encounter. The case was dismissed for insufficient evidence on a motion by the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.
An Internal Affairs investigation into the actions of the police officers is ongoing.
The Voice's account of the incident and a video taken by one of Williams's friends are here.

The Third Tarzan Omnibus: Tarzan the Untamed, Tarzan the Terrible, Tarzan and the Golden Lionby Edgar rice Burroughs
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
A Trio of Full Length Tarzan Books in One! Here are three of the best Tarzan novels in one eBook--for one low price. In Tarzan the Untamed, the ape man goes on a trail of vengeance when German soldiers burn his African ranch and he finds Jane's charred body among the ruins. In Tarzan the Terrible, the discovery that Jane still lives, her apparent death a trick by enemy soldiers, sends the jungle lord into the almost impenetrable fastnesses of the lost land of Pal-ul-don. There he finds two kingdoms of primitive humans caught up in a religious war, and Jane has become a prized captive. But, before Tarzan can rescue her, Jane rescues herself, and thrown back on her own resources utilizes all the jungle craft she learned from the ape man to survive and thrive as a jungle Diana. When Tarzan and Jane are reunited, it is as captives stretched out helplessly as sacrifices on the altar of the Living God! In Tarzan and the Golden Lion, the jungle lord's adoption of a lion cub is an act whose consequences he can not foresee--one that will find him a captive in the legendary City of Gold, where life is cheap and death lurks in every shadow. All three books complete and unabridged--over 1200 pages in hardcover.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Military SF fans will relish the second entry in Baxter's Destiny's Children trilogy, set long after the events recounted in 2003's Coalescent. When navy pilot Pirius and his crew violate protocol during a skirmish with the alien Xeelee and end up capturing a ship from "mankind's most ancient and most powerful foe," instead of accolades, two versions of Pirius—Pirius Red and Pirius Blue, from different time lanes—receive punishment. Pirius Red accompanies the eccentric Nilis (we know he's odd because he never wears shoes) to the Earth system to research the captured ship and concoct a way to end the war, while Pirius Blue is sent in disgrace to the Xeelee front for army combat training. As Pirius Red explores the solar system, picking up clues to create a strategy to defeat the Xeelee by striking at their home system, Pirius Blue narrowly escapes death in combat and grows into a leader. Both come to question the doctrines that guide their lives as they realize the extent of their military conditioning. Weak characterization mars an otherwise well-told story as fast-paced action sequences flip to long, dry discussions about physics. Not content with one drop-dead hard-science idea, Baxter concatenates them, one building on the other; even his aliens represent ideas. Female readers may wish the author would take some lessons on portraying romance from Sharon Shinn.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–In humankind's Third Expansion, the species has spread throughout the galaxy and assimilated all challengers but the mysterious Xeelee; in a 20,000-year stalemate, humans have kept them at bay in the galaxy's center. Time travel (used by both sides to gather intelligence) creates numerous "drafts" of time lines, but apart from this uncertainty the endless war has brought about a strangely static human society. Soldiers and pilots are bred in vats near the Front and taught only war; few survive past their teens. When Prius, a young pilot, captures a Xeelee ship and takes it to the recent past for study, an innovative program is begun to develop new weapons technology. While Prius Blue (the pilot from the future time line, now stuck in this one) is sent to the Front, the younger Prius Red (from this time line) must travel throughout the solar system with an eccentric but brilliant scientist in a quest for knowledge needed for the anti-Xeelee weapon. Working with widely differing elements of society, Red learns many secrets he'd rather not know, adjusts to new knowledge, and grows into a leadership role: he heads up Exultant, the elite squadron tasked with deploying the new weapon. Even in a genre characterized by unfettered imagination, Baxter's future universe is extraordinary in its depth, breadth, and richness of invention. Cutting-edge physics, subtle humor, time-travel paradoxes, and loopy twists combine to give readers a wonderfully original sci-fi experience. It can be read independently of Coalescent (Ballantine, 2004), which is set in the same universe but mostly in the present age.–Christine C.

A young man named Pirius is the commanding officer on a ship, deep in the heart of of the galaxy. The Xeelee, a powerful alien race bent on human destruction, have attacked and destroyed Pirius's home base and killed everyone on board. Pirius's only chance now is to escape to the one place left for him to go: the past. He travels back in time a whole 2 years to warn himself of the upcomming attack. Instead of being welcomed as a savior, Pirius (Blue) gets arrested and sent to a forced labor camp for disobeying orders to hold the line in the future attack of his base.
The younger Pirius (Pirius Red) gets ejected from his academy for his future crime, but is luckily rescued from sharing older Pirius's fate. An old scientist/ecologist named Nilis takes Pirius Red back to the Sol system in an attempt to find out how to stop the ensueing destruction of the Human race at the hands of this relentless enemy.
Stephen Baxter takes us to a human hive colony on Mars, an ancient multi-dimentional labratory on one of Jupiters moons, and even a long forgotten cloning facility on Pluto where an ancient alien race has been rivived for study under the watchful eyes of some rather eccentric scientists. All in all, the book is a fantastic sci-fi acion adventure novel, with enough real quantum-physics and enough pseudo-science to keep you science buffs happy.
I highly recommend this to any sci-fi/techno-fic fan.

That said, I was just a little disappointed in Exultant. The theme of a stagnant civilization delivered from entropy by the heroic actions of the protagonist has been visited too many times in this genre. As with all of Mr. Baxter's works there is no shortage of thought-provoking ideas, but this work failed to integrate the ideas. The exposition of the true nature of the black hole at the center of the galaxy just didn't work--by the time our hero makes his fateful choice this reader didn't have enough invested in the whole question to really make a value judgment, which seemed to be the whole purpose of the work.
The galactic civilization stuff has been done before. Coalescent was brilliant: made you really think about issues of human evolution and possibility. Exultant would get a much higher review had I not been familiar with Mr. Baxter's other works. He remains on my "must purchase" list and I will anxiously await his next effort.
As usual, the physics is great. This is hard SF at its best. The most interesting parts are a back story introduced in the last third of the book consisting of very brief chapters interposed between the chapters of the main story. These tell a cosmological story of the birth of the universe and the birth of life. Along the way these brief interludes address the anthropic principle, the matter-antimatter disequilibrium, symmetry breaking and many other issues currently the subject of intense study and speculation in modern cosmology and physics.
However, the physics aside, the main story itself is just OK. Since it takes place in Baxter's familiar universe at a specified time (approximately 20,000-25,000 years in the future), from Baxter's other writings that describe events that transpire up to millions of years in the future, we know that there are constraints on how the story must end. The main characters are not so believable nor is the core around which the book is written - the idea that mankind has stagnated intellectually, socially and technologically to the extent described in the book. Nor is the idea that Nilis, who is a sort of muddled mid-level governmental functionary, can interpret old "lost" scientific literature and new scientific data to reach conclusions far advanced beyond those of his contemporary scientists that are as novel and earthshaking as those of Einstein 20,000 years ago. But maybe these are quibbles. Baxter is still a great writer and his Xeelee universe/future history is still fascinating. I look forward to the last in this series to come, and still regard Baxter as one of the best currently writing hard SF. Exultant just wouldn't be the one that I recommend to someone to introduce them to his writing.
Baxter is a man of ideas, but it seems he is too busy pondering grand concepts to put them in the proper context of a good story. There are truly mind-boggling concepts; even too many, it seems, because some have barely a page or two of development. The most extreme was 'Concept space', a mind-boggling concept which is used merely to provide a deus ex machina solution to the protagonists.
If at least the hard SF was solid enough despite the weak plot... As it happens, some concepts are hastily thrown together, then conveniently circumvented when they are no longer required. The whole "FTL Foreknowledge" concept, for instance, at the heart of the story, can be waived by the author when he needs the protagonists to fool the Xeelee. Their solution? Use the time-honored but 'risky' 'anti-Tolman manoeuver', which is never explained nor used again. Sigh.
Another pet peeve I simply cannot let pass: Commissary Nilis. Nowhere is this guy made sympathetic, with his bumbling attitude, his obvious lack of oratory skills, his habit of walking barefoot everywhere and his smelly feet and armpits(!) Yet he is seen more often than any of the main characters, because he can send Virtuals of himself to annoy all of them at every corner of the Galaxy at the same time. Whenever he let slip a 'My eyes!', I was ready to gouge my own out of their sockets.
If you're wondering whether to pick up this book because it is the sequel to 'Coalescent', then don't. Only passing references are made to Coalescent, and the difference in quality between the two books is such that it seems Exultant was written by a 13 year-old who got excited at reading Coalescent.
If you must read a Stephen Baxter book, there are much better ones than this one. Coalescent and Manifold:Time are both excellent Baxter novels. This one is not.
I think Exultant is a fine addition to the lot, and I think Exultant is tying "Coalescent" into the rest of the whole long Xeelee thing...
Also I started with "Vacuum Diagrams" and then worked my way through Baxter's other Xeelee books. So in reading more of his stories, I was frequently encountering things which had been mentioned in passing before in other books, but finally got their full treatment in the story at hand.
This is one of his trademarks that I like a lot. His overall framework, the whole Xeelee thing from the beginning to the end of the universe, is consistent enough, and yet loose enough, to allow further "zooming in" on details (and even improving the physics, as realtime passes out here and more is discovered that relates to the concepts used in the stories), without having to contradict the main history timeline.
So in Exultant we learn some more about the early days of the universe, and the Xeelee, and it doesn't really contradict his earlier books, just goes beyond them in specificity and detail.
And vice versa, in Exultant someone takes a side trip to a world of "reality dust" to find a super weapon.... well, zingo, soon after reading that, I ordered a copy of "Reality Dust" itself and read the original about the reality dust thing. Plus it got its start in one short story episode that's also in Vacuum Diagrams.
(even getting to read Flux, and Raft, AFTER Vacuum Diagrams, Ring, and Timelike Infinity, rather than before them, was an extra pleasure to me, since I read them in reverse order from how he wrote them, yet they still hang together well)
So part of the pleasure in reading was to hit something briefly in Vacuum Diagrams, then see a lot more of its consequences in Exultant, and finally pull back to fill in the details in Reality Dust.... and all this is just one minor twisty turny quirk, in his overall huge universal saga.
Also I suspect that one Baxter presumably Xeelee book I see on Amazon but HAVEN'T read yet (I guess it's out of print?), "Riding the Rock", may actually fill in the details, of the origin of the base on the asteroid, and the recurring name of their commander, which has persisted on its mission for generations, used by the Exultant team....

FOXBORO -- There are several reasons why the Patriots and Steelers have maintained an extended level of excellence over the years, but a sizable portion of their success can be traced back to the stable quarterback/coach relationship on each team.
In New England, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have the longest active relationship between a quarterback and a coach in the league, having started together in 2001. Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger has been the starter for Pittsburgh since his rookie year of 2004, and maintained that spot after Mike Tomlin became head coach in 2007.
The Brady/Belichick bond has added up to 116 wins as a duo, which ties them with Don Shula and Dan Marino as the winningest quarterback/coach combo in league history. (For the record, Belichick and Brady needed 139 games to get to 116. Shula and Marino were together for 184 games.) The 116-33 mark is good for a .779 winning percentage. Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, the Roethlisberger/Tomlin combo is 40-19 while together in the regular season and 5-2 in the postseason, a .682 winning percentage.
The parallels between continuity at the quarterback/coach spot and on-field success are no accident. In fact, most teams with a QB/coach relationship that goes back more than a few years have won Super Bowls, like Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin, who have been together with the Giants since 2004 and have one ring. But most of the real success stories have been duos like Tomlin and Roethliserger who have joined franchises separately but learned to make magic together over the course of many years:
•Peyton Manning came into the league in 1998 with Indianapolis, and after linking up with Tony Dungy in 2002, won a title before Dungy stepped down following the 2008 season.
•Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005, a year before Mike McCarthy became the head coach of the Packers. Rodgers became the starter in 2008, and Green Bay would go on to win a title in 2010.
•Drew Brees started his pro career with the Chargers, but joined the Saints and Sean Payton in 2006. They two have been together ever since, and have a title of their own to show for it.
•And in San Diego, after three seasons with Marty Schottenheimer, quarterback Philip Rivers and head coach Norv Turner came together in 2007. Since then, the twosome has been to the playoffs three times in four years, averaged more than 10 wins a season and appeared in one conference championship.
In a league that's so quick to change -- quarterbacks, offenses, schemes and coaches -- even a couple of years together can go a long way. Before practice on Wednesday, Brady said having the chance to operate in the same system for such an extended period is "great for a quarterback."
"There are certain plays in our offense that I've literally run thousands of times," he said. "You make a lot of mistakes over the course of those plays, and you learn from them and hopefully you don't make them again. It's great for a quarterback to have that continuity with coaching, and obviously the terminology of the plays. It's been a huge benefit."
Brady has not only had permanence at the head coaching position, but things have also been relatively stable when it comes to the rest of the coaching staff. He's worked with three offensive coordinators in 12 seasons (Charlie Weis, Josh McDaniels and Bill O'Brien). Compare that to a quarterback like Drew Bledsoe, who had to deal with three different head coaches and four different offensive coordinators in eight years as New England's starting quarterback.
"It's been very important for me to never really change offenses or learn new terminology," said Brady, who has only played for two head coaches -- Belichick and Michigan's Lloyd Carr -- since he was 18. "I think we've just built on it over the years -- things I learned 12 years ago when I came here."
For Roethlisberger, the transition from Bill Cowher to Tomlin was eased in no small part because the overall philosophies of the Pittsburgh organization on both sides of the ball have been the same since shortly after the earth cooled. In seven-plus seasons in the NFL, he's dealt with two head coaches and two offensive coordinators. Roethlisberger acknowledges he's had it good when you contrast him with someone like San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith, who arrived in the league a year after Roethlisberger and has had four different head coaches and six different offensive coordinators.
"It's great," Roethlisberger said. "I've always said that I felt bad for someone like Alex Smith out in San Francisco, who I think in about five years had four coordinators, or whatever the ridiculous number was. I think that's really hard for a quarterback. Any time that you can get familiarity with a coach, with a coordinator, with a play caller, whoever it is, I think it definitely makes it a lot easier on you."
Tomlin, who has had Roethlisberger miss just six starts since he took over as coach prior to the 2007 season, said Wednesday afternoon that continuity at quarterback "is a big positive," but added that "you have to guard against getting too comfortable sometimes."
"It also sometimes potentially breeds a lack of communication or assumptions and that can be dangerous," Tomlin said. "There are some positives and there are some negatives and you have to weigh on a daily basis."
"I think the challenges that the National Football League presents on a week in and week out basis is enough to keep it fresh. More than anything, I just guard against assumptions or assumed communication."
In the end -- like any long-term relationship -- if the lines of communication stay open, success will follow.
"I feel like I have a good player-coach relationship with Tom," said Belichick. "We have spent, through the years, a decent amount of time together on a regular basis. I think that's important. We talk regularly during the week about what's going to happen, how we're doing it, and then we review what did happen and then we move on to the next stage. It's a continuous cycle that we've kind of been in that routine for a lot of years now."

Some pros not eager to return to Merion for another US Open
The players had a tough time at Merion Golf Club last week at the US Open, and now some are saying they'd rather not return.
A number of PGA Tour players spoke out this week about their experience at the US Open at Merion Golf Club, and most were not positive. Surprisingly, the uncharacteristically high scores last week had nothing to do with the players' ill will.
Instead, their main beef was with the way the tournament was run and the club's limitations, not the difficulty of play. For instance, players were forced to endure a 20-minute shuttle ride from the practice range to the first tee.
"We went from Olympic [last year's Open site], which was as smooth as a tournament could be, to Merion, which was just difficult," said Nicholas Thompson, according to Golf Digest. "It's a great golf course ... but there are no hotels near the course, and there's only one road leading to the course. So in the back of your mind, you're always thinking, 'Am I going to catch traffic and be late for my tee time?'"
There were some concerns leading up to the tournament, and the consensus seems to be that things could have been a lot better.
When asked if he'd like to see Merion host again, Charley Hoffman, who finished T-45 at the US Open, said, "No. It had horrible logistics. The gallery was very restricted. But I guess that's what happens when an organization runs a golf tournament."
The history at Merion is its main draw, but its overall lack of space appeared to have rankled many of the players. Changes will perhaps need to be made if the site of Ben Hogan's famous 1 iron is to see a major championship on its grounds again.

The marketplace for sports on TV is "one of the strongest in years -- with many a property commanding double-digit price increases," according to Langdon Brockington & Mike Reynolds in the latest issue of INSIDE MEDIA. Some reasons? 1) It's a non- Olympic year; 2) Sports spending is up in many categories, especially autos, computers and telecomm; 3) More and more advertisers are starting to view network TV as "an integral element" of their marketing plans; 4) The NFL season shrunk from 18 weeks to 17 (INSIDE MEDIA, 11/30-12/13 issue).
