We (me, wife, 2 kids 8 and 10) visited Solitude in late March. We had intended to go to Alta that day, but the Little Cottonwood Canyon road was closed for a few hours in the morning (we were staying in SLC), so we decided to try Solitude instead rather than waiting for the LCC road to open. We are so glad we did!
While booting up, we heard several other people mention that they also indended to go to Alta that day but came to Solitude instead because of the LCC road closure - a local said "there is usually a bit more of a crowd when the LCC road is closed." Well...it this is "more crowded", I'd love to see it on a regular day. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. We skiied up and immediately sat down on every lift all day.
Recent snowfall made the conditions perfect - deep powder on most runs - even the groomed runs had received 6 inches or so of snow since the grooming, just right for the kids.
I liked the fact that the green runs and the easier blues that the kids skiied on were still steep/interesting enough that my wife and I could enjoy them too. They had some long blue cruisers from the top that were perfect for the kids (Dynamite), but it also appeared that they had plenty of "pedal-to-the metal" terrain for more advanced skiing although I spent the day skiing with the kids. I suppose it could be argued that Alta and/or Snowbird is a better place for the hardcore advanced skiier - and I guess I wouldn't try to argue against that - but Solitude has plenty of terrain for that type of skiier as well.
The resort has a bit of a smaller feel to it than Alta. Even though the vertical is listed as 2000'+, there really aren't any single runs/lifts that take advantage of all of it. If you do manage to ski top-to-bottom, it would take several lift rides to position yourself back at the summit to do it again.
The village looked nice. We didn't spend any time there, but I think it would be a very nice place to stay. It is much smaller than I had expected and doesn't have any of the "mega-resort" feel. Just a quaint, quiet collection of lodges/inns and a few restaurants.
All in all, a great, quiet resort with something for everyone. Fantasic views. No lines or crowds. Convienent lodging if you can swing the $$ (although it doesn't look like it is any more expensive than any other slopeside lodging at other resorts). I think the name "Solitude" is quite appropriate.
I wish the lifts stayed open later tha 4:00 - particularly after daylight savings time kicks in. I suppose you could go over to Brighton (1 mile away) for night skiing if you really wanted to continue skiing.
In fact, we are already trying to plan our ski trip next year and we are hoping to stay in the Village at Solitude - it would still be easy to venture to one of the other Cottonwood ski areas from there. For a family, I think Solitude is a fantastic "secret"...in fact...I shouldn't be telling you all of this...

I've a Windows 2008 SBS running. It boots of iSCSI. That setup worked for months until yesterday. I intended to reboot and gained a: STOP 0x0000007b INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE and no idea why. My setup hasn't changed. No new controller, no new or changed iSCSI targets, no new Network Card or IP address changes. I had all Windows Updates on it. Last known good: same STOP. Allow unsigned drivers: same STOP. Safe mode (all variants): same STOP. Mount target from a client: works. Filesystem check fine. I booted of the SBS DVD but in computer repair options my target doesn't appear. When i choose setup the target appears. So, how can i diagnose what's going wrong? Any helpful tools? Any hints?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Think Atheist! You've chosen a good place to join and discuss. There is a lot of support from the members here, and there are discussions and debates in almost all topics.
Hi! Welcome!
You may get some flak for being agnostic, but probably it'll just be from people who like to debate. I'm technically an agnostic atheist...I can't rule out the tiny possibility of God existing in some form...but I think it's more likely that humans invented God. I'm over 99.9 percent comfortable with atheism, so for simplicity's sake I call myself an atheist.
So what are you're thoughts on God and religion?
welcome. don't worry about being on the fence, its a stressful place to be, but you can make some interesting observations on it.
To tell the truth, I's rather have a conversation with an agnostic than someone that was so cretin of their atheistic views that they scoff at agnostic uncertainty.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy Think Atheist. You wont have to go far if you want to find debate here, half as far to find opinion, and no distance at all to find support on anything you can think of.
guess I would be a 6.5. I'd say I was a 6.9, but that leaves no room to be more sure in the future without being certain :P
You know, I've always had a problem with this scale since it doesn't really define "God". Is it supposed to be a specific god? A subjective whatever-you-think-god-is-like god? Any supernatural entity?
Because if we were talking about a Judeo-Christian concept of god then it's a 7 for me, but if we are talking about an incredibly power entity beyond our current comprehension (not necessarily supernatural), but who doesn't really give a shit about what happens here on earth and is likely not involved in any of our affairs here ever or is even aware of the existence of earth, then I'd count myself a 4.
Welcome RR
I'm new too. It is nice to see a community that shares the same values as I do (to a certain degree).
Don't be ashamed to say you are agnostic because people get judged all the time over religious views. You are who you are - don't change that.
I was once agnostic and then I started reading and questioning. In short, I became atheist/humanist and general follower of science. I am currently studying at university to become a teacher and religion is always brought up. In my group, we have your average non-believers, jewish, muslim and christian students.
In England, religious studies is compulsory in primary schools (5 - 11 yr olds). A lot of debates and opinions are expressed during our lessons because we all come from different backgrounds. I have learnt things about other religions by listening to the people in my class; I believe many books and the internet don't portray religions properly. What I am trying to say is this - people are going to judge you at a stone's throw away but it's the people who take the time to know you who really matter.
Take care :)
Greetings. I'm new to this community too. I think it's pretty brave of you to join and ask questions. ( I'm a bit freaked out myself, new communities and groups can be intimidating)
Thank you though im not that new anymore im shocked this was even still up lol
Welcome and hello from the far-out spaced out one ^_^

Hi all,
I was able to make my first Live charge directly from Stripe dashboard.
However, when I do it from my website ( odedbenami.com/consultation )
using WP-stripe, I get the following message:
You can only make test charges right now. Please activate your account at
https://manage.stripe.com to remove this limitation. If you are a customer trying to make a purchase, please contact the owner of this site. Your transaction has not been processed.
In Settings > WP-stripe, the 'Enable Test API Environment?' is set to 'no'. So I'm not sure why am I getting this message.
Can anyone help me with this?

Released: Feb 01st, 2001
Running Time: 80,76
Directors: Chris Ward, J. (I)
Company: Plain Wrapped Video
Distribution Companies: Hot House Entertainment Inc.
Cast: Mike Vista, Jackson Price, Scott Kelly, Ryan Lexington, Lance Gear, Tony Scalia, Jeff Allen
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay Specialty
Plop this into your fisting or specialty section. Hot House/Plain Wrapped fans will be eager to check it out.
Relatively tame offering from Plain Wrapped, still crammed with the fisting play that fans have come to love yet not pushing the envelope as the company usually does.
Some fine moments: Jackson Price slamming his own fist up his own ass is a jaw-dropper, and Ryan Lexington letting loose an uncontrollable stream of piss as hands and huge dildos pop from his sphincter is also eye-popping. There's a fine pairing between real-life lovers Jeff Allen and Scott Kelly, who have terrific chemistry, and porn pup Mike Vista takes an entire hand up his rump for the first time on camera.
Tom Vaccaro (a dark, sexy, swarthy man) is paired up with Lance Gear in both versions and while both scenes are good, by the time the second one rolls around it's a little "been there, done that."

AbstractA detailed simulation of the propagation of particles (including photons, electrons, nucleons, mesons and so forth) through matter is the key component of any software which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of shielding for materials and systems. The same core software is also central to the development of high energy and nuclear physics experiments; whilethe aim in this case is generally analysis of the performance of particle detectors, the samephysical effects must be simulated, and in considerable detail. Over the last few decades, the high energy physics community has devoted an enormous amount of effort to the development of software packages to simulate the interaction of radiation with matter. We propose to evaluate the most current and detailed of these packages to ascertain to what extent it can be adapted and specialized for evaluation of biological shielding.

Hi - I just upgraded to 2.3.2 and everything looks good.
Then, I tried to install AllinOneSEO 126.96.36.199
I unzipped the file in the wpcontent/plugins folder on the server, but when I try to activate the plugin in WordPress, I get this error message:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error
I've deleted and reinstalled the upgrade files twice with the same result each time.

Please, state your reasons for your terminal browser. Why are you using Lynx or Elinks? How do they help you in programming?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as primarily opinion-based by Kevin Reid, BaCaRoZzo, Hanlet Escaño, Nate Barbettini, Prune Dec 7 '15 at 22:41
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you're asking which I prefer for a more complete browsing experience, I prefer Elinks. It has tabbed browsing, download/password managing, and tabbed navigation (handy when in a terminal). It also (partially) supports CSS 2.1, (fully) supports frames. It also (partially) supports JavaScript. Not as important, but Elinks supports more protocols than Lynx (I specifically use the Bittorrent protocol).
If you're asking which is more suitable for testing text-only browsers, Lynx is probably more popular, but Elinks is still a great choice here as well.
You can see some of the browser comparisons here.

I use them as a rough visual metaphor for what it must be like to use a screen-reader. When I am addressing accessibility concerns I use Lynx to check the page when I don't have access to a screen-reader.
Why do I use Lynx? Because I wasn't aware of any alternatives!
Two reasons for using lynx:
Lynx, because sometimes I want to look something up without getting sucked into a GUI. But it's getting increasingly less frequent over the years, as the slowly but steadily increasing overhead of firing up X has failed to keep up with Moore's Death March of performance.
At this point I pretty much keep a GUI shell up and don't even worry about it.

CLI web browsers are still sometimes noticeably faster than GUI browsers.
More importantly, they're also more distraction-free (no images, JavaScript, Flash, etc.), in much the same vein as apps like WriteRoom.

Vt. Legislature OKs gas tax increase
Legislation that will raise gas and diesel taxes May 1 has passed the Legislature and is on its way to the governor for his signature.
The House on Wednesday quickly approved a compromise transportation bill that includes the tax hike.
Rep. Patrick Brennan, R-Chittenden, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said the bill strikes a middle ground between the House and Senate versions.
With a little back and forth I think weve come to a place where we can actually make this tax package a little more palatable, if thats possible, Brennan said.
Under the legislation, gas taxes would rise 5.9 cents in May, while diesel taxes will increase by 2 cents in July.
A year later, the tax on diesel goes up another penny, for a total increase of 3 cents.
The goal behind raising the taxes was to match $56 million in federal funds targeted for road and bridge repair. Gov. Peter Shumlin and legislative leaders said without the tax, Vermont would not be able to spend some of the federal money.
The House had originally wanted slightly higher tax increases. But Brennan said negotiators agreed to use a one-time appropriation as well as money generated by the diesel tax to make up the difference.
The final vote was 107-36, with many Republicans voting against the increase. Rep. Brian Savage, R-Swanton, said many of his constituents opposed the tax hike.
Working Vermonters will again be the brunt of this choice to raise the gas and diesel taxes, Savage said. Our small businesses, along the New Hampshire and Massachusetts border are already at significant disadvantage and this will make it worse.
The House vote was followed by approval in the Senate. Leaders in both chambers wanted swift approval of the measure so it could become law in time to generate revenue in May.MORE IN Central Vermont

But what are the conditions that would create this environment, and how can we achieve this? This paper highlights some of the best practices, discussed in a single-session workshop, to improve the workplace environment for female (and male) physicists. While there are many actions that can be taken at the personal, local, and even national level, it is necessary to understand when the issues have broader societal implications. Likewise, working toward the ideal environment should not lead us to ignore the necessity of training and assisting women to work effectively in the existing environment. 2016-06-07T12:07:31Z Women in physics in the UK: Update 2011–2014 Marks, Ann Dyer, Jenni Monroe, Maisie Butcher, Gillian http://hdl.handle.net/2381/37691 2016-06-08T02:15:34Z 2016-06-07T12:00:42Z Title: Women in physics in the UK: Update 2011–2014 Authors: Marks, Ann; Dyer, Jenni; Monroe, Maisie; Butcher, Gillian Abstract: The interests of women in physics in the UK are being addressed by two strands of work by the Institute of Physics—Girls in Physics and Project Juno—and by several nationwide efforts, including the Athena SWAN awards.

ADMIRARI is a multifrequency dual-polarized microwave radiometer with the ability to distinguish the cloud and rain component of the liquid water content observed in the atmospheric column. The present is a review of ADMIRARI's participation in four GPM/GV field campaigns from March 2010 to February 2012. Each of these experiments tackled different precipitation regimes, from convective, to mixed-phase, warm to light rain and snowfall. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. 2016-05-24T12:23:09Z X‐Ray Interferometry and Space Instrumentation Butcher, Gillian http://hdl.handle.net/2381/37609 2016-05-20T02:15:07Z 2016-05-19T12:42:23Z Title: X‐Ray Interferometry and Space Instrumentation Authors: Butcher, Gillian Abstract: In x‐ray astronomy the technique of interferometry has the potential to provide ultra‐high angular resolution imaging of at least 100 μas and possibly 1 μas, which would be good enough to image the event horizon of a black hole. At the University of Leicester we are proposing a practical x‐ray interferometer to give 100 μas angular resolution, which can be built using current x‐ray optics capabilities and existing detector technology. The complete instrument would be about 20 m long and about 2 m in diameter. The key to the design is the use of a slatted mirror to combine the two beams. Simulations and recent measurements of an optical demonstrator have been encouraging. 2016-05-19T12:42:23Z Workshop III: Improving the Workplace Environment Gledhill, I.

So what makes a good workplace in physics, where women and men can work to their full potential? In the Improving the Workplace Environment workshop of the 5th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics, participants heard about initiatives taking place in Canada, the UK, Japan, and India to improve the workplace environment and shared good practices from around the world. Some of the less tangible aspects of the workplace environment, such as unconscious bias and accumulation of advantage and disadvantage, were explored. 2016-05-19T12:37:55Z Women in Physics in the UK: Update 2005–2008 Butcher, Gillian Marks, A.

Abstract: The United Kingdom continues to address gender equality and diversity in all aspects of society. The Institute of Physics (IOP) is regarded as a leading proponent of these issues, not only in physics, but in disseminating its practices to other learned societies in science, engineering, and technology. Within IOP, both the Women in Physics Group, a membership organization with 2,700 members, including students, and a dedicated Diversity Programme, that reports to a high‐level strategic Diversity Committee, are very active. In this paper we highlight some of the many initiatives that have taken place in the last few years, as well as present statistics on women in physics in the UK, demonstrating that progress has been made. 2016-05-19T12:25:32Z Organizing Women in Physics Working Groups Kausch, C.

J.; Yeoman, Timothy Kenneth; Wright, D. M.; Davies, J. A.; Trattner, K. J.; Roeder, J. L. Abstract: HF radar backscatter, which has been artificially-induced by a high power RF facility such as the EISCAT heater at Tromsø, has provided coherent radar ionospheric electric field data of unprecedented temporal resolution and accuracy. Here such data are used to investigate ULF wave processes observed by both the CUTLASS HF radars and the EISCAT UHF radar. Data from the SP-UK-OUCH experiment have revealed small-scale (high azimuthal wave number, m <approx> -45) waves, predominantly in the morning sector, thought to be brought about by the drift-bounce resonance processes. Conjugate observations from the Polar CAM-MICE instrument indicate the presence of a non-Maxwellian ion distribution function. Further statistical analysis has been undertaken, using the Polar TIMAS instrument, to reveal the prevalence and magnitude of the non-Maxwellian energetic particle populations thought to be responsible for generating these wave types. 2016-02-10T11:32:12Z Overdensities of SMGs around WISE-selected Ultra Luminous High-Redshift Galaxies Jones, Suzy F.

By exploiting its unique sensitivity and resolution to make spatially and spectrally resolved images of the gas and dust in the interstellar medium (ISM), ALMA can reveal new information about the relationship between stars and gas, during and between galaxies' cycles of star formation and AGN fueling. However, this can only be done for a modest number of targets, and thus works in the context of large samples drawn from other surveys, while providing parallel deep imaging in small fields around. Recent ALMA highlights are reviewed, and some areas where ALMA will potentially make great contributions in future are discussed. 2016-02-04T09:43:09Z Athena: the X-ray observatory to study the hot and energetic Universe Barcons, X.

C.; Piro, L.; Watson, Michael Geoffrey Abstract: Hot gas pervades the Universe: about half of the baryonic content in the Universe is expected to be at T > 105 K, and there are as many baryons at T > 107 trapped in galaxy clusters as there are locked into stars. There is an intimate relation between this hot gas, which delineates the large-scale structure of the Universe, and the most energetic phenomena occurring in the immediate vicinity of super-massive black holes, through a poorly known process called Cosmic Feedback. Studying the hot and energetic universe requires X-ray observatories in space, whose capabilities greatly exceed those of the current workhorse observatories: NASA's Chandra and ESA's XMM- Newton. Athena has been selected by ESA as the L2 mission (due for launch in 2028), to address the "Hot and Energetic Universe" science theme. It will be a large X-ray observatory capable of addressing the above topics, and many other fundamental questions in contemporary astrophysics. Here we present the Athena science objectives, the mission concept and its payload, including the X-ray telescope and its two baseline instruments: a Wide Field Imager (WFI) and an X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU). 2016-01-27T11:17:24Z Graphene as a novel single photon counting optical and IR photodetector Williams, J.

S.; Roy, M.; Hutchinson, I. B. Abstract: Bilayer graphene has many unique optoelectronic properties [1], including a tuneable band gap, that make it possible to develop new and more efficient optical and nanoelectronic devices. We have developed a Monte Carlo simulation for a single photon counting photodetector incorporating bilayer graphene. Our results show that, conceptually it would be feasible to manufacture a single photon counting photodetector (with colour sensitivity) from bilayer graphene for use across both optical and infrared wavelengths. Our concept exploits the high carrier mobility and tuneable band gap associated with a bilayer graphene approach. This allows for low noise operation over a range of cryogenic temperatures, thereby reducing the cost of cryogens with a trade off between resolution and operating temperature. The results from this theoretical study now enable us to progress onto the manufacture of prototype photon counters at optical and IR wavelengths that may have the potential to be groundbreaking in some scientific research applications. 2015-07-10T08:51:45Z White dwarfs with unresolved substellar companions and debris disks in the UKIDSS Survey Steele, Paul Burleigh, Matt Barstow, Martin Jameson, Richard Dobbie, Paul http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31951 2015-04-01T02:00:15Z 2015-03-31T13:22:09Z Title: White dwarfs with unresolved substellar companions and debris disks in the UKIDSS Survey Authors: Steele, Paul; Burleigh, Matt; Barstow, Martin; Jameson, Richard; Dobbie, Paul Editors: GarciaBerro, E.; Isern, J.; Torres, S. Abstract: We present a near-infrared (NIR) photometric search for substellar companions and debris disks around white dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). We cross-correlate the SDSS DR4 and McCook & Sion catalogues of white dwarfs with the UKIDSS DR3 database producing 408 and 133 matches respectively. Models are then fitted to Sloan photometry to identify those with NIR photometric excesses consistent with an unresolved sub-stellar companion or a debris disk. We present follow up photometry from targets previously identified in UKIDSS DR2 and the first results from DR3. In total we identify 8 potential white dwarf + very low mass binary systems, 2 potential white dwarf + disk systems, and 2 systems which require further investigation to clarify the source of the excess. 2015-03-31T13:22:09Z Transit detection limits for sub-stellar and terrestrial companions to white dwarfs Faedi, F.

Editors: GarciaBerro, E.; Isern, J.; Torres, S. Abstract: The SuperWASP project is a ground-based ultra wide angle search for extra-solar planetary transits that has successfully detected 15 previously unknown planets in the last two years. We have used SuperWASP photometric data to investigate the transit characteristics of and detection limits for brown dwarfs, gas giants and terrestrial companions in orbit around white dwarfs. The relatively small size of a white dwarf host star (approximately 1 Earth radius), implies that any sub-stellar or gas giant companion will completely eclipse it, while terrestrial bodies smaller than the Moon will produce relatively large (> 1%) transits, detectable in good S/N light-curves. We performed extensive simulations using SuperWASP photometric data and we found that for Gaussian random noise we are sensitive to companions as small as the Moon. Our sensitivity drops in the presence of co-variant noise structure, nevertheless Earth-size bodies remain readily detectable in relatively low S/N data. We searched for eclipses and transit signals in a sample of 174 WASP targets, resulting from a cross-correlation of the McCook & Sion catalogue and the SuperWASP data archive. This study found no evidence for sub-stellar or planetary companions in close orbits around our sample of white dwarfs. 2015-03-31T11:31:44Z Star formation in the GC: observational constraints and theory Nayakshin, Sergei http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31920 2015-03-25T03:00:14Z 2015-03-24T11:29:02Z Title: Star formation in the GC: observational constraints and theory Authors: Nayakshin, Sergei Editors: Schodel, R.; Bower, G. C.; Muno, M. P.; Nayakshin, S.; Ott, T. Abstract: We review some observational aspects and theoretical models for the formation of the young massive stars in the central parsec of our Galaxy. It is concluded that an in-situ star formation model provides the best description of the data. One possible guess for the initial gas confguration is one circular and another eccentric gas discs, not necessarily coeval during their short lifetimes. The circular disc probably resulted from a mass deposition event long compared with the local orbital time, whereas the eccentric disc should have formed more dynamically. Based on X-ray observations of the GC, we argue that the initial mass function (IMF) of stars formed in these discs is top-heavy. Such top-heavy IMF is most likely a result of inefficiency with which these optically thick discs fragment, and thus may be a generic result for star-forming AGN discs. We also present preliminary results of numerical simulations of star forming discs, showing that stars with a top-heavy IMF can be formed in both circular and eccentric discs. However, the inner arcsecond ''S-stars'', and the massive star cluster IRS13E, do not naturally form in these star-forming discs, and still lack explanation. 2015-03-24T11:29:02Z X-ray constraints on the number of stellar mass black holes in the inner parsec Deegan, Patrick Nayakshin, Sergei http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31919 2015-03-25T03:00:16Z 2015-03-24T11:19:22Z Title: X-ray constraints on the number of stellar mass black holes in the inner parsec Authors: Deegan, Patrick; Nayakshin, Sergei Editors: Schodel, R.; Bower, G. C.; Muno, M. P.; Nayakshin, S.; Ott, T. Abstract: Due to dynamical friction stellar mass black holes should form a cusp in the inner parsec. Calculations [5, 6] show that approximately 20 thousand black holes would be present in a sphere with radius of about a parsec around Sgr A*. The presence of these objects opens up the possibility that they might be accreting ''cool'' gas (i.e. the Minispiral) as discussed by Morris [6]. Here we calculate the X-ray emission expected from these black holes as a method to constrain their population. We find that the data limits the total number of such black holes to around 10 - 20 thousand. Even a much smaller number of such black holes, i.e. 5 thousand, is sufficient to produce several sources with X-ray luminosity above Lx ~ 1033 erg s−1 at any one time. We suggest that some of the discrete X-ray sources observed by Muno [7] with Chandra in the inner parsec may be such ''fake X-ray binaries''. 2015-03-24T11:19:22Z The 6.7-keV iron-line emission in the Galactic Centre Warwick, Robert S.

Editors: Schodel, R.; Bower, G. C.; Muno, M. P.; Nayakshin, S.; Ott, T. Abstract: We use recent XMM-Newton observations to study the ''diffuse'' X-ray emission seen in the Galactic Centre Region. Spectrally, the emission can be separated into three major components, each characterised by a prominent spectral line. Using these lines as tracers, we investigate the underlying spatial distribution of the various components. Specifbally, we find the 6.7-keV line of helium-like iron, has a relatively smooth, circularly symmetric distribution centred on Sgr A* and a surface brightness which falls off with radius as r−0.87±0.06 over the range r = 3' − 12'. This mirrors the distribution of the underlying stellar population and adds strong support to the hypothesis that the 6.7-keV line and the associated hard thermal continuum (with kT ≈ 8 keV) originates in the summed emission of faint point sources. 2015-03-24T11:11:26Z The arches cluster and G0.1-0.1 cloud - A view with fluorescent lines Sakano, Masaaki Warwick, Robert S.

Editors: Schodel, R.; Bower, G. C.; Muno, M. P.; Nayakshin, S.; Ott, T. Abstract: We present the X-ray results on the Arches Cluster and G0.1-0.1 cloud obtained with XMM-Newton. In particular we have found a big loop-like annular structure, adjacent to the Arches Cluster, with the diameter of ~3 arcmin (~7 pc) and width of ~1 arcmin (~2 pc). The structure is found to show a non-thermal X-ray spectrum with a best-ftting photon index of Γ = 1.4 ± 0.6, together with a strong fiiorescent Kα line from neutral iron at 6.4-keV with an equivalent width of 1 keV. The G0.1-0.1 cloud shows a reasonable correlation among the 6.4-keV line, very hard continuum and 2.3-keV He-like sulphur line. We discuss the possible origin of these structures and further give a speculation to explain the origin of the fiiorescent X-ray lines in the Galactic Centre Region 2015-03-24T10:34:39Z Spectroscopic investigations of corona discharge in high pressure Helium at 300K Bonifaci, N.

M.; Shakhatov, V. A.; von Haeften, Klaus Abstract: Gaseous Helium at 300K and pressure (0.1-3)MPa was excited using a corona discharge both for negative and positive high voltages. The light emitted from the ionization zone of the discharge was analyzed. The atomic lines observed was shifted and broadened due to interaction of radiators with surrounding atoms (the pressure broadening). Asymmetric shape of atomic line 706nm was recorded. Blue wing of the line is more intensive than its red wing. The reason of the phenomenon is the repulsive interaction between excited atoms with atoms in the ground state. The line shape is described as a convolution of Lorentz profile of the line center and a quasi-statistical profile of a blue wing of the line. Such analysis allows us to predict a weak heating of the gas in the ionization zone for positive corona and considerable heating for negative corona. 2011-09-05T15:24:09Z Fluorescence of Silicon Nanoparticles Suspended in Water von Haeften, Klaus Lowe, Mark Brewer, Anthony http://hdl.handle.net/2381/9651 2012-07-24T13:18:56Z 2011-08-31T13:52:19Z Title: Fluorescence of Silicon Nanoparticles Suspended in Water Authors: von Haeften, Klaus; Lowe, Mark; Brewer, Anthony 2011-08-31T13:52:19Z Fluorescence of silicon nanoparticles suspended in water: reactive co-deposition for the control of surface properties of clusters von Haeften, Klaus Akraiam, A.

Abstract: Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles have been produced in a two-step process in ultra high vacuum. First, silicon clusters were produced in the gas phase in a molecular beam. At the end of the cluster beam machine the cluster were co-deposited with water onto a cold target. Melting of the ice yields a suspension that fluoresces at 420 nm when excited with ultraviolet light. The fluorescence intensity remains constant over a period of more than a year. Photo-absorption and photo-luminescence spectra provide evidence of a Si/SiO2 core-shell structure having a silicon core size of at least 1.4 nm in diameter and oxygen deficient O-Si-O defects as the origin of the deep-blue fluorescence. Furthermore, the fluorescent suspension was deposited on freshly cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). AFM images recorded in UHV showed networks of agglomerated clusters, their smallest units having a diameter of typically 0.7 nm. 2011-08-31T13:19:05Z Mechanisms of the Cusp-Related PC3-4 Waves Pilipenko, V.

Abstract: Pc3-4 pulsations are an ubiquitous element of dayside ULF wave activity both at low-latitude and in the cusp region. We compare simultaneous observations of Pc3-4 wave activity by magnetometers at three locations on Svalbard, covering geomagnetic latitudes 74o-76o, and by low-latitude SEGMA magnetometer array (36o-43o). The cross-spectrum between low-latitude stations shows a typical amplitude-phase gradient pattern – maximal phase delay at specific resonance frequency, which confirms that the ground response is formed due to the conversion of external band-limited disturbances into standing field line oscillations. At the same time, the gradient analysis shows no specific mode conversion pattern near the cusp region. The amplitude gradient has the same direction at all frequencies, and the phase delay does not show any consistent pattern. This behavior corresponds to the occurrence of a localized peak in the latitudinal distribution of Pc3-4 power not under the cusp proper, as was previously thought, but about few degrees southward from the equatorward cusp boundary.

Abstract: We present initial observations from an ongoing investigation into the dynamics of the magnetotail during a period of multiple substorms. The investigation coordinates data from ground and space-based instruments including the Cluster and IMAGE spacecraft, SuperDARN and ground magnetometers during the period 00:00UT to 05:00UT on 25th August, 2003. The first substorm expansion phase, which is preceded by two pseudo-breakups at 00:38UT and 00:57UT, takes place between 01:11UT and 01:50UT during which time IMAGE WIC(FUV) data for the Southern auroral oval shows enhanced auroral activity almost solely in the post-midnight sector and the occurrence of auroral streamers within the auroral bulge. SuperDARN map potential analysis shows a flow diversion with a northern hemisphere footprint that is conjugate to a southern hemisphere auroral streamer. During this time, Cluster CIS and FGM instruments detect the passage of under-populated flux tubes, or plasma bubbles, and a field rotation event, discussed as a flux rope. These observations agree with current predictions on the relationship between streamers and under-populated flux tubes in the tail from the Chen and Wolf model.

Abstract: The coupled nature of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system makes measurements of ionospheric convection, such as those provided by the SuperDARN HF radars, extremely useful in diagnosing magnetospheric dynamics. Flux Transfer Events (FTEs) at the dayside magnetopause, for example, are well-resolved in ionospheric flow data as Pulsed Ionospheric Flows (PIFs). Similarly, Bursty Bulk Flows (BBFs) associated with the earthward transport of flux in the tail have a discernable flow signature in the nightside ionosphere. The large-scale convection associated with magnetospheric substorms is also readily identifiable in ionosphere flow data. During the growth phase, for example, the expansion of the polar cap due to enhanced open flux production is evidenced in the equatorward motion of radar backscatter. On the nightside, fast equatorward flows emanating from the polar cap after substorm onset, followed by a poleward contraction of the flow reversal boundary, provide evidence for tail reconnection and the closure of open flux. The complex electrodynamics associated with substorms, however, ensures immense variety in the nature of the flow signatures which are observed. Some studies, for example, have reported a reduction in the nightside flows at the time of substorm onset, possibly resulting from enhancements in auroral conductivity associated with substorm energetic particle precipitation which imposes a limit on the size of the local electric field. Enhanced electric field phenomena such as Substorm-Associated Radar Auroral Surges (SARAS) and Auroral Westward Flow Channels (AWFC) provide additional constraints on the global substorm picture. This paper provides an overview of these and other important convection signatures associated with substorms and briefly discuss how future developments of SuperDARN can further enhance our understanding of substorm physics.

Abstract: The Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft was launched in 2000 with several imaging instruments onboard. The Far UltraViolet (FUV) experiment was devoted to the imaging of the N2 LBH (Wideband Imaging Camera - WIC-), OI 135.6 nm (Spectrographic Imager -SI13-) and Doppler-shifted Lyman-alpha auroral emission (SI12). The Doppler-shifted Lyman-alpha emission is solely due to proton precipitation and is not contaminated by dayglow, allowing to monitor the auroral oval at dayside as well as at nightside. Remote sensing of the polar aurora can be advantageously completed by ground based data of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) that monitors the ionospheric convection flow pattern in the polar region. In the present study, the SI12 images are used to determine the open/closed (o/c) field line boundary, and monitor its movement. The SuperDARN data are used to compute the electric field of the polar cap at the location of the o/c boundary. The total electric field is then computed along the boundary accounting for its movement applying Faraday's law, so that the dayside and nightside reconnection voltages can be retrieved. This procedure is applied to monitor the dayside and nightside reconnection voltages during several events. The phases of the substorm cycle can be identified: the growth phase characterised by intense dayside flux opening and occasionally pseudobreakups, the onset which is immediately followed by a maximum intensity of the flux closure rate, and the recovery phase during which the flux closure voltage slowly returns to undisturbed values, with occasional poleward boundary intensifications which appear along with a slight intensification of the closure voltage. The transient response to an interplanetary shock is also monitored and reveals a sharp intensification of the closure rate, despite a low open flux value for the studied case. A case of auroral streamer event has also been studied, presenting a remarkably large flux closure rate. This feature is related with a bursty enhancement of the ionospheric convection. Bursty bulk flow events can thus be associated as well with enhanced flux closure. The tool that we developed can also be used to study the relations between the topology of the magnetotail and the flux closure rate as well as to set up proxies relating the solar wind conditions with the dayside reconnection voltage. The monitoring of dayside and nightside reconnection rates can thus be considered as an investigation tool for nearly all types of auroral features.

A.; Bruls, D. M.; Offermans, P.; Koenraad, P. M. Abstract: Recently, STM measurements of cleaved, self assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) have provided important information on the morphology and composition of these buried semiconductor islands. It is also now becoming possible to use STM techniques to image the electronic charge density within the SAQDs. At low bias voltages, the tunnelling current measured during cross-sectional scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (XSTS) experiments contains direct information on the 0D bound electronic states of the cleaved quantum dots. In this paper we present a numerical simulation of an XSTS experiment. The calculated tunnelling currents between an STM tip and the bound states inside a physically realistic model of a cleaved SAQD are compared to experimental results and qualitative agreement is found. The calculation of the tunnelling current is split into two stages. First the bound electron states of the cleaved quantum dot are calculated by exact diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian in a simple harmonic oscillator basis set. The calculation is performed within the single-band effective mass approximation including the position dependence of the effective mass and, most crucially, the effect of the deformations of the cleaved dot structure and the strain field within the system. The strains and deformations of the heterostructure are found with a continuum, finite element model. The calculation method is completely general, however, in this paper we apply it to the InGaAs dot structure reported by Bruls et al. Second, the Tersoff-Hamann approximation is used to calculate the tunnelling probability between the bound electronic states and the STM tip at different tip positions and bias voltages. The calculated STM signal is compared to experimental data and reasonable agreement is obtained. The method may be used to obtain additional physical information about the buried SAQDs, for example, details on the lateral variations in the composition. 2010-03-02T15:16:46Z Studying accreting black holes and neutron stars with time series:beyond the power spectrum Vaughan, Simon Uttley, Philip http://hdl.handle.net/2381/3748 2008-03-05T02:05:56Z 2008-03-04T12:20:16Z Title: Studying accreting black holes and neutron stars with time series:beyond the power spectrum Authors: Vaughan, Simon; Uttley, Philip Description: Paper presented at Noise and Fluctuations in Photonics, Quantum Optics, and Communications Conference, Vv 6603, 7 June 2007.

These flares were sometimes intense, rapid, and late relative to the nominal prompt phase. The most intense of these flares was observed by XRT with a flux >500x the afterglow. This burst then surprised observers by flaring again after >10000 s. The intense flare can be most easily understood within the context of the standard fireball model, if the internal engine that powers the prompt GRB emission is still active at late times. Recent observations indicate that X-ray flares are detected in ∼1/3 of XRT detected afterglows. By studying the properties of the varieties of flares (such as rise/fall time, onset time, spectral variability, etc.) and relating them to overall burst properties, models of flare production and the GRB internal engine can be constrained.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II research develops an innovative high-throughput/high content drug screening platform that utilizes three-dimensional human skeletal muscle tissue constructs that mimic in vivo skeletal muscle to quantify muscle force generation. Significant demands exist for new drugs to treat contractility disorders involving skeletal muscle. Myomics' proposed drug testing platform will contribute to significant reductions in time and costs associated with bringing new drugs to market by discovering drug candidates and eliminating ineffective compounds earlier than currently possible. Unlike existing systems, this approach incorporates biomechanics into drug discovery using mechanical sensors to detect contraction of multiple identical tissue samples over extended time periods. Significant socioeconomic and quality-of-life impacts will result for patients with contractility disorders (sarcopenia, atrophy, or Duchennes muscular dystrophy). While most drug screening protocols test one protein pathway at a time, this platform provides a unique physiological screening system and protocol which quantifies contraction as the result of multiple protein pathways interacting over time. The broader impacts of this research will be to enhance muscle contractility disorder/disease research and provide new tools to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for drug discovery. Upon successful development, the sensing mechanism will potentially be used to develop treatments for several contractile tissues relevant to a range of important human contractile disorders and diseases contributing to improved outcomes for these diseases.

Patient Comments: Legionnaires' Disease - Symptoms
What were the symptoms associated with Legionnaires' disease in you, a friend, or relative?
Comment from: jlpatriot, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: February 16
My symptoms of Legionnaires' disease are high fever, chills, nausea, joint pain, weakness, no appetite, and shortness of breath.
Comment from: ND Female, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 23
Sickness, headache, high fever, fatigue, confusion, and muscle aches are my symptoms of Legionnaire's disease. I had been on a road trip and I became listless. There was no improvement and my husband took me to walk-in-clinic twice, and the second time the doctor said to go to the emergency room (ER) to be admitted to hospital for pneumonia. I was hospitalized for 1 month in ICU for 10 days. Last week of hospital stay involved rehabilitation, I am learning to walk again. After 1 year I'm still not 100%, I have low back pain, neck pain, and mental slowness with thought processes. I do not know where or how I acquired this bacteria.
Comment from: peachie, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 31
I stayed at a hotel and got Legionnaires' disease from the air conditioner. How do I know? I stayed in April in the same room and got sick. I woke up on the 5th day with a terrible sore throat. I had a strep test which was negative so I just assumed it was a virus and treated it as such, that is, lots of rest and liquids, vitamin C, and zinc, etc. I just stayed in the same hotel and voila! I woke up on the 5th day with a terrible sore throat. This time it was too much of a coincidence so I did some research on water since it was a room air conditioner and got tested with a urine antigen before taking any antibiotics. The culture came back positive. I'm not really into taking medications and by the time the culture came back, I was feeling much better... just slight cough. So the only thing I did do was alert the health department in the city I was staying in to check the hotel so others don't get sick.
Comment from: Sabae, 55-64 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 08
My friend has been taking levofloxacin for five days for legionella pneumonia treatment but still has a fever that is up and down. I don't know when we will see improvement.

Kentucky blue in face over coach
NOTHIN' BUT NET: www.billygsucks.com
Whoever started the first "www.fire(insert your lousy coach's name here).com" Web site is a true genius.
Somewhere, some poor sap took his fanatical notions and linked them to cyberspace, spawning a generation of whiny, overzealous fans voicing their displeasure with a not-so-favorite coach. I hope the original moderator found a way to patent the idea because, if so, he's a millionaire.
Saturday is the kind of day that guy lives for, and cashes in on, especially when the University of San Diego men's basketball team upsets Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Yep, a win by a West Coast Conference school not named Gonzaga over one of the sport's bluebloods takes Internet discontent to another level.
Unfortunately for Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie, his Wildcats already suffered a shocking loss to Gardner-Webb last month. And though Gillispie has coached only 11 games at Kentucky, he has already earned the scorn of the creator of www.billygsucks.com .
Shocking, I know.
Cool stuff
The introduction, which describes the site's mission statement, is funny and well-written. Too bad this guy isn't working for a newspaper because, frankly, the industry could use his talent.
The site is pretty user-friendly. Posts are easy to find, the forum and introduction are clearly marked, and the popularity poll is readily accessible. All in all, the site looks professional.
Check at the door
The first image on the site is a picture of Gillispie's head superimposed on a baby's body, with a logo for the site. That's rather cliched.
The moderator takes a cheap shot at Gillispie by posting his mug shot from a Fox News alert after his arrest for driving while intoxicated.
The site is pretty new, so there's not much content yet. And without much traffic, there's an unfortunate lack of discussion among Gillispie haters on the fan forum.
The grade
The site is new, and the theme has become a bit tired. But the site is put together well and should provide a good sounding board for disgruntled Wildcats fans in the coming years. Give it three of five mouses.
Staff writer Dan Hayes is disappointed because San Diego State's football program hasn't been good enough since the Internet was invented to warrant a "www.fire(insert Aztecs coach here).com" Web site, thus depriving him of a potential fortune. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com .

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance TGS 2012 Trailer Gets Bossy
Written Thursday, September 20, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
The Metal Gear series is famed for its insane boss battles, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance looks to be no different, with this latest Japanese trailer from this year's Tokyo Game Show, revealing some of the game's bosses for the first time.
As usual, the bosses look typically mad, from the lady with multiple attachable arms to the man seemingly constructed from various bits bound together by electricity. All in a day's work for Raiden.
It doesn't matter that this is a Japanese language trailer either. You'll get the message. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is out on February 19th, 2013 in North America and February 22nd, 2013 in Europe, with a demo to be bundled with the Zone of Enders HD Collection on October 30th.

6 Marines are killed in crash
Published: Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 20, 2012 at 9:26 p.m.
HONOLULU - All six Marines killed in the crash of a U.S. helicopter in Afghanistan were based in Hawaii, a Hawaii congresswoman said Friday. The CH-53D helicopter crashed Thursday in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand.
The cause of Thursday's crash is still being investigated, but a statement issued by the NATO international military coalition said there was no enemy activity in the area when it happened.
German Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a spokesman for the NATO coalition in Kabul, said officials were looking at a "technical fault" as the possible culprit.
In 2005, the same base lost 27 Marines when a CH-53E Super Stallion deployed to Iraq crashed during a desert sandstorm. Altogether, 30 Marines and a Navy medic were killed in that crash.
