Cup for $500,000, Faberge Wedding Boost Sotheby's Russian Sale
A Soviet realist painting depicting two female workers raising a red flag over Moscow fetched $1.5 million at Sotheby's in New York today.
Painted in 1950 by Yuri Pimenov, the optimistic 8.4-foot-tall canvas "First of May Celebration" led the $14.4 million sale of Russian art and Faberge objects.
Pimenov's canvas, which went to an anonymous buyer bidding by telephone, sold for three times the presale low estimate and set an auction record for the artist.
While 30 percent of Russian art lots failed to find buyers, many of those that sold doubled and tripled their presale estimates, igniting bidding wars.
Aleksey Kravchenko's canvas "Indian Fairytale," created in the 1920s and inspired by a trip to India and Sri Lanka, fetched $1.48 million, nearly reaching its presale high estimate. Prices include a buyer's commission.
A group of red-robed lamas depicted on paper by Alexandre Iacovleff in 1932 sold for $782,500. That set an auction record for the artist, who made frequent expeditions in Asia and Africa.
The sale's second part included 83 lots of Faberge and Russian enamels from an anonymous private collection; only eight lots failed to find buyers.
Drink Up
The session's top lot, an ornate Russian drinking vessel known as a "kovsh," took in $518,500, more than doubling its presale low estimate. Made with gilded silver and enamel, it depicts in tiny detail a wedding feast, including the bride's crown and dress ornament.
Another kovsh, shaped as a bird with a golden beak and made by Faberge, fetched $242,500, more than four times its $60,000 low estimate.
Half of the buyers were Russian and half were American, said Karen Kettering, Sotheby's vice president of Russian works of art.

I really had no idea what was going on in this cartoon, but it was still great to watch! I had no idea there were so many of these NATA things that people were still working on. I don't even know what that stands for. It's weird, because you claim this is THE final entry, but there's only two in the collection. I guess this one didn't do as well as the first. I am of course digressing and should go back to how cool this is.
The colors were fantastic and it was great to watch. I couldn't help but think you were trying to put some spiritual twist on this. Was the train supposed to represent how we're losing our focus on our goals? I guess not, but it's still very interesting. No dialogue makes it so that it tells the story on its own.
A lot of the motivation behind this was to create something really visually interesting in addition to the whole allegory, so I'm glad you were able to appreciate it even though you weren't 100% sure of what it meant.
great smooth work =D
Really enjoyed it. I think it actually makes for a good final. One entry has alot of dialogue one has none. It'll be interesting how the judges even go about it. I liked the movie, I think it did well interpreting the fork in the road both literally and from a decision making standpoint.
I think I was most suprised by the change in style. Works really well, and I like the tenacity to experiment. I didnt like how the driver driving was rendered. Felt sloppy compared to the seemless walk cycles and floppy feet and other intricacies.
Nice work, I have a special place in my heart for animations driven by purely music. Typography was purtty too.
Thanks man! It's good to hear whenever someone picks up on those little details you're proud of.
Nice work! Really liked the colours and style
Glad to hear you liked it :D

Hegel and Deleuze on the metaphysical interpretation of the calculus

The aim of this paper is to explore the uses made of the calculus by Gilles Deleuze and G. W. F. Hegel. I show how both Deleuze and Hegel see the calculus as providing a way of thinking outside of finite representation. For Hegel, this involves attempting to show that the foundations of the calculus cannot be thought by the finite understanding, and necessitate a move to the standpoint of infinite reason. I analyse Hegel's justification for this introduction of dialectical reason by looking at his responses to Berkeley's criticisms of the calculus. For Deleuze, instead, I show that the differential must be understood as escaping from both finite and infinite representation. By highlighting the sub-representational character of the differential in his system, I show how the differential is a key moment in Deleuze's formulation of a transcendental empiricism. I conclude by dealing with some of the common misunderstandings that occur when Deleuze is read as endorsing a modern mathematical interpretation of the calculus.

The âFear Itselfâ tie-ins continue to roll in. This one, however, is a little different in that it is a âFear Itselfâ/ âCivil Warâ tie-in. Of sorts. The Fifty State Initiative (which was the impetus for the title âAvengers Initiativeâ) was instituted during the Superhuman Registration Act that spun out of the events of âCivil War.â The Initiative was a training facility for younger/newer heroes. Many of those heroes are reintroduced in this issue.
Picking up somewhere in the neighborhood of âFear Itselfâ #2, the hammers have been disbursed and the worthy begin to find them, fueling the hysteria and uneasiness across the world and specifically in the United States. So Commander Steve Rogers does what any commander should do: he rallies the troops. In this case, the troops are many of the kids that served in the Fifty State Initiative: Hardball, Komodo, Prodigy, Ultragirl, Red Nine, and Gravity, among others. Oh. And Thor Girl. Sean McKeever even added in Firestar for good measure. McKeever has a good handle on most of these characters, and it was good to see some of the relationships explored again.
Needless to say, Thor Girl has a prominent role in this issue, which is certainly to be expected considering the Asgardian nature of the threat. While I havenât noticed it in other âFear Itselfâ books, the public here, as written by McKeever, seems pretty keen on the Asgardian aspect, which, naturally, leads to trouble for Thor Girl and provides a nice cliffhanger for the end of this issue.
The art in this issue is filled with Mike Norton moments as only Norton can deliver them. Nortonâs storytelling, characters, and expressions are magnificent. While Iâm not familiar with Veronica Gandini, her colors complement Nortonâs work and really make this book look and feel like a superhero adventure.
This is a fine compliment to the main action of âFear Itself.â Beyond that, it provides fans of the âInitiativeâ crowd of heroes (or even the Young Allies) with the opportunity to find those characters active in an adventure once more. Even better, this adventure looks to be a fun read with great art.

The autocomplete box popups up at the top-left of the screen instead of by the textbox. Anyone have a fix for this?
The autocomplete box popups up at the top-left of the screen instead of by the textbox. Anyone have a fix for this?
I have the same trouble with WordPress 3.5.
I contacted this plugin's maintainer, and he said he's going to update the plugin soon.
In the meantime, I replaced the jQueryUI files in the plugin with the latest jQuery UI files, and that fixes the issues (jQuery conflict).
is file "jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.min" to be replaced or there are some other files?
What is the link to the latest file(s)? Couldn't find files on the jQuery site..
I replaced the jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.min.js with jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js and it's ok. Thank you.
Artildo : this file (1.9.2 stable version) can be download from this link : http://jqueryui.com/
had 5 minutes to test - downloaded, and renamed 1.9.2. into 1.8.9. Seems to work, needs customization.
The best way to go forward is to use the version of jQuery UI that is provided with WP core since 3.3: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#Default_scripts_included_with_WordPress
This way should have the benefits of being most forward-compatible, avoiding double loading of same scripts and being compatible with Use Google Libraries.
To do this, open searchautocomplete.php, locate lines 14-15:
wp_register_script('autocompletejquery', WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/search-autocomplete/includes/jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.0.0');
and replace them with
To improve code maintainability add an empty line before and after that one.
it didn't work in my case. Not only it didn't provide expanding list below the search bar when typing, but also ruined jQuery Vertical Mega menu.
That's interesting, since all that line does is make sure that jQuery UI core is loaded. I have Search Autocomplete on two sites and the above worked for both. For one it wasn't strictly necessary, since another plugin already made sure that jquery-ui-core was already enqueued, but for the other it was needed.
The enqueued script is http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js (or the one in your WP install directory), which is a standard script. The error you experience might be caused by an error in another JavaScript file that your site loads. This can be detected via the screen console > errors in Firebug.
I was actually expecting that the script jquery-ui-autocomplete should also be enqueued, but neither one of our sites required that. You might try adding a line for that too as a possible fix for the issues you encountered.
thank you for going in details. I stil have it renamed (the new 1.9.2 to 1.8.9) and it works.
But if i cannot overcome a couple of issues, I'll have to give up the plugin
The most interesting. I need to mark up whether its a category or tag in the list. Like:
category: Blue birds
tag: Blue sparrows
A great example is here: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#categories
Actually, it's a great lack for the plugin that it stacks all the autocomplete words in one solid list. Users don't know what they choose.
I've made such a customization to the plugin on one of the sites we run it on. If the thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-searchautocomplete-patch-support-custom-post-types doesn't have that patch, I'd be interested in hearing from the plugin author to collaborate on releasing an updated version of the plugin to support this and a few other features. I could email him the copy I'm running so he could check if it's ready for release.
I'd still hope that enqueuing the jquery-ui-core would work for everyone, that'd solve the compatibility errors this thread is about once and for all.
A new version of the plugin has been released that utilizes the WordPress AJAX methods and works in 3.5. Please let me know if you are still experiencing these issues.
I have no more problem with the new release 2.0.1. Thank you and happy new year.
Good to hear!
A couple of questions:
1) It is impossible now to uncheck post links and "post" post types in the Settings. Simply, when you uncheck and save settings, checkmarks reappear. I really need them to be out of the autocomplete scope, as my posts can not be viewed in a single manner
2) Is it possible to mark autocomplete tips whether it is a post name, category or tag? Looks really messy, as user cannot see what kind of search will be performed.
More feedback on 2.0.1. First on what Artildo wrote above:
2) I've implemented that patch for 1.0.9. Should be easy to implement for the 2.0 line as well. It's very useful for the users.
2.1) It could even be expanded further to give more information on custom post types of common plugins. I have Events Manager at mind: showing the date of Events and the city of Locations for starters. I might submit an incremental patch for this later if Gabe welcomes the idea of plugin-specific support.
My own notes:
3) Great improvements: Works with both 3.4.2 and 3.5. An option to limit how many results are displayed. It's now possible to select every post and taxonomy to be or not be included in the search results. The order of types can be specified to be either posts or types first. Thanks!
4) It would be good to be able to specify the order within taxonomies and post types as well. I'd want to be able to specify whether Events Manager's Locations would be shown before Events.
A possible way of implementing this is a drag-and-drop reorder interface á la plugins like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-page-ordering/screenshots/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-link-order/.
5) When updating from the latest 1.0.9 version, the settings were lost.
6) The dropdown menu to select a Theme Stylesheet is empty. None of the styles included in 1.0.9 appeared here and neither does the custom style we made for 1.0.9 (which was simply the default ui-darkness with images run through PNGout and OptiPNG to decrease file sizes). Now all the search results are shown as black on white. Would be good to have the selection of dropdown styles back.
7) Using Events Manager I've needed an option to further customize the ordering of the search results. It'd be very useful to have option fields for extra SQL options. With these it'd be possible to add for example the following customizations in an update-safe way:
7.1) Select also event_start_date, event_end_date, location_event_count and location_town
7.2) Require that either the event_start_date or event_end_date are today or in the future
7.3) Order Events by event_start_date first, event_end_date second
7.4) Order Locations by location_event_count
2) I've implemented that patch for 1.0.9. Should be easy to implement for the 2.0 line as well. It's very useful for the users.
What patch did you write about and what 2.0 line?
The patch to show what type the autocorrection result is. So next to the title of the target page, eg. "About" or "My New Year's Resolution" or "WordPress" reads eg. "Page", "Post" or "Category".
I have tried 2.0 line on one site to give feedback about it, but will not have time to work on any patches for it right now. Hopefully when I have time to inspect the 2.0 codebase, some of the issues highlighted in the above feedback have already been implemented.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

TeamViewer is faster compared to FLOSS alternatives concerning 2 aspects:
- The whole configuration process before the actual session: Determine IP, traverse through NAT & firewall, etc whereas in TeamViewer simply entering an ID/PW, which goes through the centralized system of TeamViewer (that's of course an issue of trust!).
- The remote viewing/control session itself: VNC solutions are far less fluent and responsive, often lag back dozens of seconds whereas in Teamviewer it feels almost "live" except of course if much screen content changes at high frequencies (animated contents, etc).
I would appreciate technical explanations concerning #2. I can't just figure out where's the optimization potential, which makes TeamViewer so much faster.

About Me
i love traveling, duh, and have quite loved hosting houseguests of my own acquaintance.
I'm a reasonably chill girl who just moved to new orleans. i'm from california, have two great dogs. uh, what else . . . I have a somewhat acid sense of humor and am a bit shy at first but i have landed softly on the lawn of the world many a time (ie, crashed with strangers) and I would love to return the favor.
I live in an apartment in the midcity, IT HAS CENTRAL AIR! Oh my goodness is that exciting. Anyway it's fairly large and well appointed, sometimes dusty, sparsely furnished, has a rotating cast of large drooly dogs in it. I now (oh the shame) frequently rent the spare room through that other voldemort of sites, and so (IMPORTANT PART) don't accept couch requests that are more than a day or so in advance. But I am still Johnny on the spot when it comes to last minute stuff: if there's no one in the spare room you're more than welcome to it. Last minuters, write me!
be kind and keep your eyes open.
i probably took that too much at face value.
'life is too short to match socks'? I'm crap at this sort of stuff.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
did some surfing summer '07, and summer '10, now that i've got the bug i want to travel more.
also- I'm not home overmuch so I'm a better fit with someone who has things they want to do or potentially just wants some quiet time (i remember that the pressure to be 'on' all the time used to get to me in my second month).
Dd some amazing csing in Paris/Berlin/New mexico/Tucson and I can't wait to do more! Also friend couches but also friends of friends and then the hitchhiking and the floors, tents, etc. South america and the US mostly. I'm a firm believer in the human internet- ie, conversations.

Pason plays the role of Heather, a way too serious bitch who needs some love/fun/fucking in her life. That arrives via Steven St.Croix, who meets her while they are both jogging in the park and finds himself unable to think about anyone else upon seeing her.
There is some good binding sex here with supporting players, including a scene with Aria and Randy Spears (Aria squirts when Spears fucks her ass) and a scene with the always lovely Katja Kassin and Spears, where Spears can barely contain his joy about getting to fuck Kassin and gives her a decent amount of twat pounding.
Pason and St.Croix's fuck is good with the two sharing a sweet, dirty lovemaking session.

You are very talented!Awesome work!
It is a great figure and I'm in love of your sculpts. How long does it take you to sculpt this?
Thank you! It's really difficult to determine how long each piece takes...I never keep track. It's usually a pretty slow process for me, and I'm usually working on multiple projects which makes it even more difficult to determine.
I really appreciate the kind words!
I really appreciate the kind words!
wow..love it!! Amazing work!
awesome... a thousand thousand times awesome
Spot on. It looks exactly like her. I don't know how you manage to sculpt so finely on such a small scale. So much skill. I'm totally jealous.
I would love to learn about sculpting in wax, it looks like fun! Do you have, (or know of ) any tutorials on how to do it, what kind of wax you use? (for those of us who know nothing about the different materials...)
Thank you. I'm going to seriously look into this as soon as I can. I have been experimenting with digital sculpting, Aves Epoxie and Fix-It sculpts. I've wanted to try wax for a long time. Thanks again!
me encanta como te ha quedado . me podrias decir como se llama el material que usas?
I sculpt in hard wax. It is great for this kind of precise work. thanks!
Real great job, you handsulped this? Well bravo! That really is impressive!
Gorgeous sculpt!
I just got the set with this head yesterday. It is a PERFECT likeness to the lady.
Very well done.
Very well done.
unbelievably awesome as always trev !!!
Great job! Angelina Jolie is perfect for Lara!

\((1-z^{-N})\) with a parallel combination of 1st-order IIR systems. draw the signal flow graph of such an implementation.
(b) Show that H(z) as defined above is an (N-1) degree polynomial of z^(-1). To do this it is necessary to show that H(z) has no poles other than z=0 and that it has no powers of z^(-1) higher than (N-1). What does this imply about the length of the impulse response of the system?
(c) Show that the impulse response is given by the following expression:
(d) Use L'Hopital's rule to show that \(H(z_{m})=H(e^{j(2\pi/N)m})=H^{'}[m]\) , m=0,1,...,N-1,
i.e.,show that the constants H[m] are samples of the frequency response of the system at equally spaced frequencies \(w_{m}=(2\pi/N)m\) for m=0,1,...,N-1. It is this property that accounts for the name of this class of FIR filters.
2. In the development of the minimax problem in optimal equiripple FIR linear phase filter design, we use the fact that the frequency responses of all four types of causal linear phase filters can be written in a common form as: H(e^jw)=e^(-jwM/2)Q(w)P(w)=e^(-jwM/2)Q(w)summation (alpha[n]coswn) from n=0 to L, where M+1 is the filter length.
b). For type II FIR linear phase filter with h[n]=h[M-n] for n=0,1,...,M where M is odd,
- Show that \(H(e^{jw})=e^{-jwM/2}\sum_{n=1}^{(M+1)/2}b[n]cosw(n-0.5)\) where b[n]=2h[(M+1)/2-n], for n=1,2,...,(M+1)/2.
- Show that the summation \(\sum_{n=1}^{(M+1)/2}b[n]cosw(n-0.5)\) can be written as \(cos(w/2)\sum_{n=0}^{(M-1)/2}b^{'}[n]coswn\) , where b'[n]=0.5b[1], b'[n]=2b[n]-b'[n-1], for 1<=n<=(M-1)/2)-1, and b'[(M-1)/2]=2b[(M+1)/2]

Study: Trash Old, Unused Drugs
Dangerous Drugs Should Be Flushed continued...
Of special concern are powerful narcotics delivered by patch, such as the drug fentanyl.
"Even after a patch is used, a lot of the drug remains in the patch, so you wouldn't want to throw something in the trash that contains a powerful and potentially dangerous narcotic that could harm others," FDA senior program manager Jim Hunter, RPh, noted on the agency's web site.
A complete list of the drugs recommended for flushing by FDA can be found on the agency's web site in the consumer section entitled "How to Dispose of Unused Medicines."
Drug Disposal Safety Questions Remain
While environmental concerns remain about the impact of flushing any drugs, the FDA notes that there is as yet no solid evidence linking flushing to specific risks in humans.
And scientists with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have not yet found evidence of adverse effects on human health associated with drug residues in the environment.
Skerlos says that since more than half of people in the U.S. already throw their unused drugs in the trash, asking them to take part in drug take-back programs could have significant downsides, including increased inconvenience, longer drug storage in the home, and higher costs to society.
Skerlos and colleagues estimate that a nationwide drug take-back program would cost $2 billion a year.
They write that re-evaluation of drug disposal options may become necessary as our understanding of the environmental impact of these options increases.
The study appears online in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology.

I'm about the same age as you (I turn 18 in December) and I really appreciate that art is your hobby. I have many good friends who are really striving to make art their career, and they've sacrificed a lot. I'd like to see you exploring in your art; simple pieces like this one are nice. Also, make less porn, I feel like you could have a broader audience than a bunch of dudes who jerk off to what you make (me shamefully included...) I'd just like to say I'm glad your young and making art!
Thankya! I try to make good arts, ya?

I'm still somewhat confused with how to work with DateTime in Ruby. I'd like to store GMT in the database, at least I assume I would. But how does one go about creating usable localized DateTimes?
date = Date.new(2012, 11, 24)
=> #<Date: 2012-11-24 ((2456256j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
new_appt = DateTime.new(date.year, date.month, date.day, 10, 0, 0)
=> #<DateTime: 2012-11-24T10:00:00+00:00 ((2456256j,36000s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
This DateTime object has GMT offset of +00:00. I'd like it to be -07:00 or -08:00 depending on whether the given date is observing daylight savings or not. I could add a last parameter (
+7 or
+8) but how to calculate?
Is there a way to tell given the date what the time zone offset is (or will be) and factor that into the DateTime.new object so it's can be stored (and retrieved) correctly?

My LO is 4 weeks old and has very fussy evenings. I'm starting to wonder if this is a supply issue. My right breast is the workhorse. Today at the LC it gave her a little over 2 oz in about 20 minutes. The left breast produced about .3 oz (not sure) in 5 minutes. The left consistently has little milk production when I pump and never feels as full as the right. I'm starting to wonder if my LO's evening fussiness is a result of her not getting enough in the late afternoon and evening feedings because she's really only getting fed from the right breast and milk production is less in the afternoon and evening. She hardly sleeps in the afternoons, only going for about 20 or 30 minutes after a prolonged fussy period that starts not long after a feeding. Just this evening I started a feeding at 7. She went for about 20 minutes on the right (fussed more frequently than normal, I noticed) and 5 on the left. About 5-10 minutes after the feeding she was fussing again. This has been very frustrating to me and my DH. Any thoughts?
Signs of a supply issue?
Comments (8)
Is she having enough wet and dirty diapers in 24 hours and gaining weight? If so, then there is nothing wrong with your supply. It is normal to have an imbalance between sides, and normal for babies to have a fussy period in the evening.
It may help to start every session on the left, as her suck is strongest in the first 5 minutes. You can also pump on the left at the same time that you nurse on the right. In the end, though, twins only ever get one breast and there are moms who have had mastectomies on one side and fully nurse on the other. It's possible, and though you'll be lopsided while nursing, at least you'd be exclusively nursing.
Happy Mommy to Peanut (girl, 6/27/07), Bean (boy, 12/11/09), and Sprout (girl, 10/31/13)
From all that I've read she's doing well in the diaper department. She usually has at least a wet diaper every time she eats (so 8-9 wet a day) and 3-4 dirty diapers a day. From what I can tell her weight gain is fine. Based on the last two BF meetings I went to she gained an ounce a day. I guess I'm just looking for an easier answer to her evening fussiness than that I have to wait it out!
Your supply is less at night but higher in fat/calorie content so even if bebe is eating less should be more satisfied. However at week 3-3month, bebe will be fussy and during this time she will need frequent feeding, cuddling, etc. some things you can do is wear your baby around, use lay down side feeiing position, and try to put her to sleep earlier (including a bedtime routine). Some bebe will move this fussy period to early evening as they mature. That's the summary. I plan to try and wear my bebe from 8-10 in hope she'll stay calm... Crossing my fingers!!!

My left side is the same way. My son gets very mad at my left side, because it seems to run out sooner. So I just switch sides when he gets mad. He is also fussy in the evenings. Pretty normal.

I worked something similarly with my students, and they were more than satisfied. We recorded starting of the motor and we will make a film about it.
My favorite hands on project is to grow a TickleMe Plant in my class and watch how the leaves fold and the branches droop when Tickled. It is always a class favorite and seems to get everyone more excited about science and nature. The TickleMe Plant is the most interactive plant in the world

SmileAs I enter the store, the warm spices in the air hit me like a mule's kick in the face. Strong scents of sandalwood, lavender, and vanilla. Noticeable undertones of tropical fruits and dragon's breath invade my senses. I manage to regain my ability to breath as I struggle to take a few more steps into the smoke shop. The shopkeeper acknowledges me with an overzealous hello. Her dark breasts continue to wiggle after she calms herself from interaction. It almost appears that they are trying to escape from the low-cut shirt two sizes too small as if it was their own personal Alcatraz.
I nod back; making it as friendly as I could considering what was on my mind. Hopefully she didn't notice me glancing at her bouncing bust. Probably doesn't really matter, though, since I'll never be coming back here again anyways. I look around the interior of the place. One wall had various ads of

Race to the Rock highlights Lake Lure Olympiad
Published: Sunday, July 15, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 13, 2012 at 8:57 p.m.
One of the pinnacle events of the eighth annual Lake Lure Olympiad, which will be held Aug. 26, is the Race to the Rock that culminates at the finish line at the base of Chimney Rock in Chimney Rock State Park.
Runners and cyclists competing in the Race to the Rock will climb 900 feet in elevation over the last three miles.
"For a competition like Race to the Rock, it's not just running or cycling on flat ground, so it takes a specific kind of training and preparation," said Matt Popowski, an Olympiad athlete, as well as public relations and events manager at Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park. Chimney Rock is the finish line for the Race to the Rock for the sixth straight year.
"The Race to the Rock is a bold challenge," Popowski said, pointing out that participants can choose from a 25-mile bike race that circles Lake Lure or a 5K run up the Park road, beginning in Chimney Rock Village. "It's difficult but very achievable if you prepare well for it."
One former Race to the Rock competitor is Brad Hecker, who currently serves as the director of ACC women's basketball. He has also participated in several Olympic-qualifying cycling events and has attended two Tour de France races.
"The Race to the Rock is one of the most challenging events I've ever done," said Hecker. "It would be worthy of an individual-timed course in the Tour de France. This race is hard, and it has more personality than any other that I've done."
The 5K run costs $25 if registered by July 25 or $35 after. The 25-mile bike race has an entry fee of $30 if registered by July 25 or $40 after. Same-day registration is at 6:30 .am. The bike race starts at 7:30 a.m. and the run starts at 7:45.

Watch out Rihanna, Jay-Z has a new prized pony in his stable. The Aussie pop legend just signed with Roc Nation's artist management division. Her addition comes off the heels of Timbaland also being added to the rooster. Jay-Z's management division currently represents Rihanna, Santigold, The Ting Tings, Melanie Fiona, Shakira and Solange Knowles to name a few. Is this the key to Kylie Minogue finally achieving North American superstar status? I think it might. It's definitely the right direction for Miss Minogue.
"In a career now spanning 25 years, Kylie has released 11 studio albums, two live CDs, eight live concert DVDs, a greatest hits double album, and multiple video packages. She has released over 50 hit singles worldwide, including the Grammy-winning Come Into My World, and has sold more than 68 million albums worldwide. Needless to say, we're excited to have Kylie join the Roc fam." – Roc Nation
While scoring numerous hit singles in the UK and her native Australia, the 44-year-old has only two Top 10 hits to her credit to land on Billboard's Hot 100- "Locomotion" (#3) and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (#7). Kylie is certainly a well-known entity and much beloved icon in gay households, but hasn't quite achieved the same status with mainstream radio in North America. With a rumored new album on the way, I firmly believe Roc Nation will give Kylie's new offering the promotion it deserves.
What do you think of Kylie's decision to sign with Roc Nation? Do you think their artist management division can propel her career in the US? Sound off below.

The plugin is causing tweet buttons to break due to it incorrectly rewriting other attributes
Agreed, we've been attempting to determine why the tweet button isn't working properly in the 'Slick Social Share' plugin and it seems to point back to the 'WP External Links' plugin.
remix4 says:
If you change the Wp External Link settings by unchecking the "all contents" box on "Apply settings to external links on ..." it seems to fix the problem.
Any chance we might get an update/resolution (without unchecking 'all contents' in WP External Links)?
Many Thanks!
-Brian & WR
I will try to fix this in the next version.
Tweet button problem can be solved in the new version by adding the link to the ignore-list, f.e.: http://twitter.com/share
Where is this ignore-list? I don't see it in the current version (4.0.6) in the settings.

Check out my new book:
The desire to punish for the joy of punishing, for revenge, or for racist or sadistic domination has always had certain difficulties hiding behind the pretense of punishing for protection from danger. Creating fear of (young, black, male) "super predators" was a propaganda tactic for politicians like Hillary Clinton that bore some similarity to the efforts by politicians like Hillary Clinton to create fear of Iraqi weapons that didn't exist. The latter was meant to hide U.S. aggression toward Iraq. The former was meant to hide mad, raging punitive vindictiveness that sought to put lots of people in cages for lots of time regardless of the damage done.
One of the difficulties that pretending to punish people for public safety has in hiding real motives for mass incarceration is that the people whom the punishers most want to lock up for the longest time (or execute) are generally the least likely people to commit another crime (even if guilty of the first one). A 2009 study cited in the remarkable new book, Boy With a Knife, found that those who had been incarcerated for homicide were the very least likely to commit any kind of crime. In California in 2011 almost 49% of prisoners released later returned to prison for new criminal convictions, but that figure was less than 1% for those released who had been convicted of murder.
It ought to be with considerable embarrassment that I say this, as an atheist who thinks religion does far more harm than good, and that it does so not only through the pretense that death isn't real but first and foremost through the promotion of blind obedience to supposedly infallible authority. Yet, I don't feel any sort of group loyalty or opposition to the parties involved here, and I'm actually entirely thrilled to recognize the good news that the Catholic Church has now surged far ahead of U.S. academia in the basic measure of opposition to institutionalized mass murder.
The Catholic Church has a great deal to answer for over the centuries, from the dehumanization of much of humanity to the normalization of "collateral damage." The idea of a "just war" has been propped up by flimsy arguments for many, many years, leaning on the notion of divine sanction. But the current Pope has had enough of it. He's just held a conference in Rome on rejecting any further use of "just war" sophism to prop up mass killing. Not long back he told the United States Congress to end the bloody arms trade. He understands the connection between war waging and arms dealing. Once we admit that all war is evil, we can reject as evil the enormous business U.S. corporations do in providing much of the weaponry. As long as we pretend that some wars are good ones, the industrial complex that arms the wars and in large part produces the wars can roll on.
By David Swanson, American Herald TribuneRemarks prepared for April 12 event in Baltimore.
I'm going to start with a few brief opening remarks about what I think is the habit of thought that has made the United States #1 in the world in prisons and wars. And then I'll be glad to try to answer as many questions as you think of. These remarks will be published online at American Herald Tribune.
No matter how long I debunk and refute and mock and condemn arguments for wars, I continue over and over again to conclude that I'm still giving advocates for war too much credit. How ever little I take seriously as rational ideas the notions that U.S. wars can be defensive or humanitarian or peace-keeping, it's always too much. Wars' supporters, in large part, do not themselves actually hold such beliefs. Rather they have a lust for war that must be examined outside of any question of utilitarian impact.
I'm referring here to the mental processes of both top officials deciding to wage war, and ordinary members of the U.S. public expressing their approval. Of course, the two are not identical. Motives of profit are hushed up, while phony motives such as waging wars in order to "support the troops" are manufactured for public consumption but never ever mentioned in the private emails of war makers. Nonetheless, there is great overlap in the thinking of all members of a culture, including the thinking of cynical politicians in a corrupt regime, and there are points on which virtually all politicians, from best to worst, agree without giving the matter any thought.

At a post-screening discussion where I questioned the director of Eye in the Sky about the disconnect between his drone-kill movie and reality, he launched into a bunch of thought-experiment stuff of the sort I've tried to avoid since finishing my master's in philosophy. Mostly I've avoided hanging out with torture supporters.
If this were a philosophy paper I would now tell you that I am going to show that consequentialism is the most useful ethical framework. Then I would show you that. Then I would tell you I'd just shown you that. And the annoyingness would be only beginning. Luckily, I'm out of school and have told you my central concern in the headline.
Consequentialism, the idea that we should base our actions on the good or bad of the expected consequences, has always been very troubling to philosophy professors, possibly because of some of these reasons:
> It leaves ethics up to humans without any sort of pseudo-divine guidance.
> It means otherwise brilliant people like Immanuel Kant were quite wrong.
> Concluding that consequentialism is the way to go would eliminate the entire academic discipline of debating what is the way to go.

Man admits to trespassing on school groundsJuly 09,2013BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man will spend a year on probation after admitting Monday to being at the Southwest Vermont Career Development Center on May 8 in violation of a no trespass order.
Brandon T. Billings, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful trespass. Billings was sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones to serve 45 to 60 days in jail, but all of that time was suspended.
In an affidavit, Deputy Roscoe Harrington of the Bennington County Sheriffs Department said he was notified that Billings was at the career development center, which shares a campus with Mount Anthony Union High School, by the high schools head of security.
Harrington said several students had reported that Billings was sitting on the steps outside the career development center.
Billings had been served with a court order on June 14, 2011, that said he was not to be at the career development center or the high school.
Harrington said when he checked the steps, Billings was not there but video surveillance footage showed Billings had been on school grounds.
According to an affidavit, Billings admitted on May 16 that he had been at the school but said he thought the court order had expired.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Band parameters for nitrogen-containing semiconductors94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1600519View Description Hide Description
We present a comprehensive and up-to-date compilation of band parameters for all of the nitrogen-containing III–V semiconductors that have been investigated to date. The two main classes are: (1) "conventional" nitrides (wurtzite and zinc-blende GaN, InN, and AlN, along with their alloys) and (2) "dilute" nitrides (zinc-blende ternaries and quaternaries in which a relatively small fraction of N is added to a host III–V material, e.g., GaAsN and GaInAsN). As in our more general review of III–V semiconductor band parameters [I. Vurgaftman et al., J. Appl. Phys. 89, 5815 (2001)], complete and consistent parameter sets are recommended on the basis of a thorough and critical review of the existing literature. We tabulate the direct and indirect energy gaps, spin-orbit and crystal-field splittings, alloy bowing parameters, electron and hole effective masses,deformation potentials, elastic constants, piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization coefficients, as well as heterostructure band offsets. Temperature and alloy-composition dependences are also recommended wherever they are available. The "band anticrossing" model is employed to parameterize the fundamental band gap and conduction band properties of the dilute nitride materials.

Jones matrix method for predicting and optimizing the optical modulation properties of a liquid-crystal display94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1601688View Description Hide Description
We present a simple technique for the calibration, prediction, and optimization of the optical modulationproperties of a liquid-crystal display(LCD). The method is useful when there is no information about the internal fabrication parameters of the device (the orientation of liquid-crystal molecules, the twist angle, or the birefringence of the material). A complete determination of the LCD Jones matrix is accomplished by means of seven irradiance measurements for a single wavelength. This technique only requires two linear polarizers and one quarter-wave plate. Once the Jones matrix has been calibrated, the amplitude, phase, and polarization modulation response can be predicted. Therefore, it can be optimized through the control of the polarization configuration. The validity of the proposed method is experimentally probed. Finally, we present a particular application to produce phase-only modulation.
Effects of classical and quantum charge fluctuations on sequential electron tunneling in multiple quantum wells94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1594815View Description Hide Description
A previous theory [M. Ershov et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 67, 3147 (1995)] for studying the distribution of nonuniform fields in multiple-quantum-well photodetectors under an ac voltage is generalized to include nonadiabatic space-charge-field effects. From numerical results calculated by the generalized theory, it is found that field-domain effects are only important at high temperatures or high voltages, where both injection and sequential-tunneling currents are expected to be large. On the other hand, field-domain effects become negligible at low temperatures and low voltages, but nonadiabaticeffects included in this extended theory are enhanced for small sequential-tunneling currents. The time duration for nonadiabaticeffects is determined by the quantum capacitance. By using the generalized theory, a differential capacitance is calculated for a non-steady state, and a negative conduction current is predicted under a positive voltage in this case due to charge accumulation around the collecting contact.
T-junction waveguide experiment to characterize left-handed properties of metamaterials94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1603344View Description Hide Description
The left-handed property of a metamaterial is demonstrated by measuring the power at the output of a T-junction waveguide loaded with a metamaterial having one edge cut at 45° with respect to the waveguide axis. Both experimental scattering data and numerical results are presented. The metamaterial sample is realized by using a periodic arrangement of wires and split-ring resonators, and the operating frequency is chosen to correspond to a refraction index of about The results show that when the T junction is empty, most of the power is received at the output port directly facing the input port, whereas when it is loaded with the sample of metamaterial, most of the power is received at the output port perpendicular to the input axis. This indicates that the energy is bent by the oblique edge of the sample by an angle of with respect to the normal, which suggests a negative index of refraction.
Target optimization of a water-window liquid-jet laser–plasma source94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602571View Description Hide Description
We optimize the water-window x-ray flux and debris deposition for a liquid-jet laser plasma source by varying both the target diameter and the jet material. For two target liquids, methanol and ethanol, measurements of the C VIx-ray flux and the debris deposition rates are presented as function of the jet diameter. It is shown that the effective carbon debris deposition is more than 1 order of magnitude smaller for methanol, while the x-ray flux is reduced only ∼40%. The reduction in carbon debris deposition may be explained by reactive ion etching by oxygen from the plasma. Thus, the methanol water-window source may be operated at a 5–10× higher flux without increasing the debris deposition. The optimization potentially allows a reduction of the exposure time of compact soft x-ray microscopy or other water-window applications based on such sources without increasing damage to sensitive x-ray optics.

Efficient, stable, corona discharge 172 nm xenon excimer light source94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1598300View Description Hide Description
We demonstrate that corona discharges in xenon gas can be an efficient source of excimer vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)radiation. Conversion efficiencies of electrical power into VUV light greater than 50% have been observed. A model describing the light production mechanism in the discharge region including the influence of water vapor content in the 10 ppm region is presented. A prototype large area lamp consisting of 21 corona discharges operating in parallel has been built with VUV output power per area at the lamps surface. Based on the model and experimental results achieved, a continuous wave large area 172 nm excimer light source with output and a possible wall plug efficiency close to 48% is proposed.
Electron plasma ion trap/source94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1600526View Description Hide Description
A theoretical study is presented on a type of Penning trap configuration referred to as an electron plasma ion trap/source. Ions in the configuration are confined within a three-dimensional electric potential well, which is produced by a combination of the electric field generated by the trap electrodes and the electric field generated by a trapped electron plasma. The ion density is not limited by the Brillouin ion density limit. Instead, the ion charge density must be smaller than the electron charge density. Various mechanisms that may limit the electron charge density are identified. Example calculations are used to find that the most restrictive limit on the electron charge density is likely to be the voltage difference that must be applied to trap the electron plasma parallel to a magnetic field. For confinement of low-charge-state ions, the ion temperature must be smaller than the electron temperature. Relatively long ion confinement times are found to be possible, however, because the equilibration of the ion temperature and the electron temperature is a slow collisional process due to the disparate masses involved. The ions can be easily extracted before the ion temperature reaches a value such that ion loss to the electrode walls becomes a significant source of impurities. Thus, since ion–wall interactions can be minimal, high purity ion plasmas may be generated. A self-consistent finite-differences computation is used to predict a possible plasma equilibrium.
Simulation of plasma molding over a ring on a flat surface94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602573View Description Hide Description
A fluid/Monte Carlo simulation model was developed to study plasma molding over an axisymmetric feature (a ring) resting on an otherwise planar surface in contact with a high-density rf plasma. The two-dimensional (r,z) time-dependent sheath potential, and ion density and flux profiles were predicted with a self-consistent fluid simulation. The trajectories of ions and energetic neutrals (resulting mainly by ion neutralization on the cylindrical sidewalls of the ring) were then followed with a Monte Carlo simulation, in an effort to obtain their energy and angular distributions on the substrate surface. When the sheath thickness was comparable to the size of the ring, strong radial electric fields deflected oncoming ions toward the sidewalls of the ring. The ion density was lower in the cylindrical well formed by the ring, compared to outside, resulting in a locally thicker sheath and a smaller spread in the double-peaked ion energy distributions at the bottom of the well. The ion impact angle increased progressively as the sidewalls were approached. The angular distribution of energetic (fast) neutrals at the bottom of the well was bimodal. The energy distribution of fast neutrals at the bottom of the well was broader compared to the parent ion energy distributions.
Numerical study of discharges in single- and dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasma reactors94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1603348View Description Hide Description
A one-dimensional particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo model is developed to study capacitively coupled (cc) radio-frequency discharges in a gas mixture of Ar, and The charged species, which are followed in the model, are: Electrons and and ions. The simulation considers electron – neutral (Ar, and collisions, various kinds of collisions of ions with neutrals, positive–negative ion recombination, and electron–ion recombination. The model yields results for electron and ion densities, fluxes and energy distributions, collision rates and electric field, and potential distributions. The simulations are performed for a ratio of mixture at a pressure of 30 mTorr in single (13.56 MHz) and dual frequency cc reactors and a comparison between the two frequency regimes is made. Results show that the structure of the discharges is electronegative in both cases. and ions are the main negative charge carriers in the single and dual frequency regime, respectively. In the presence of low-frequency (2 MHz) and a strong electric field, the light ions are no longer confined in the bulk plasma and they partially respond to the instantaneous electric field. The calculated electron energy probability function profiles can be approximated to a Druyvesteyn and bi-Maxwellian distribution with high-energy tails in the single- and dual-frequency regime, respectively. The ion energy distribution is narrow with one outstanding peak in the single-frequency scheme, whereas it is wide and bimodal in the dual-frequency scheme.

Early stage of plastic deformation in thin films undergoing electromigration94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1600843View Description Hide Description
Electromigration occurs when a high current density drives atomic motion from the cathode to the anode end of a conductor, such as a metalinterconnect line in an integrated circuit. While electromigration eventually causes macroscopic damage, in the form of voids and hillocks, the earliest stage of the process when the stress in individual micron-sized grains is still building up is largely unexplored. Using synchrotron-based x-ray microdiffraction during an in-situelectromigration experiment, we have discovered an early prefailure mode of plastic deformation involving preferential dislocation generation and motion and the formation of a subgrain structure within individual grains of a passivated Al (Cu)interconnect. This behavior occurs long before macroscopic damage (hillocks and voids) is observed.
Random field models for two-phase microstructures94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1600827View Description Hide Description
Level-cut filtered Poisson fields are defined by cuts of filtered Poisson fields above prescribed levels and used to model two-phase microstructures. The filtered Poisson fields are sums of deterministic functions h scaled by random variables and centered at random points generated by a Poisson field N. The structure of the level-cut filtered Poisson fields depends on the functional form of h, the properties of the random variables scaling h, and the intensity of N. Level-cut Gaussian fields used extensively to represent two-phase microstructures are special cases of level-cut filtered Poisson fields. A Monte Carlo algorithm was developed for generating two-phase composites based on level-cut filtered Poisson fields. It is shown by examples that level-cut filtered Poisson fields can produce a broad range of two-phase microstructures.
Ultrasonic absorption in ultra-low carbon steel94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1593220View Description Hide Description
The laser-based reverberant technique is used to measureultrasonicabsorption spectra in the 2 to 45 MHz frequency range. This technique, being contactless, allows measurements at high temperature. The absorption spectra of ultra-low carbon steel samples are studied at room temperature in a magnetic field (in order to suppress the magnetoelastic contribution) and in a high temperature furnace without magnetic field. Small steel samples (about are used. At room temperature, two main contributions to the ultrasonic absorption are identified: microeddy currents (magnetoelastic contribution) and absorption caused by dislocations (deformation contribution). A typical microeddy current peak is observed and yields a reasonable estimate of the magnetic domain size. Above 10 MHz, the nonmagnetic contribution to the total absorption follows the classical vibrating string model. However, other phenomena also contribute to the absorption spectra. Below 10 MHz, an amplitude-independent damping background is observed. In addition, a small frequency-independent contribution to the absorption is observed at room temperature and is attributed to a thin surface layer. The absorption at high temperature is dominated below the Curie point by the magnetoelastic contribution. Two internal friction peaks are also detected. The first one, at is related to the dislocation kink motion. The second one, measured at and 10 MHz, is attributed to the Snoek relaxation of carbon and/or nitrogen in α-iron. The Curie transition as well as the ferrite-austenite transition strongly affect the internal friction spectra.
Brillouin scattering in94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1601683View Description Hide Description
Micro-Brillouin scattering measurements of a defect pyrochlore, that exhibits superionic conductivity and ferroelectric properties, have been performed in the 213–573 K temperature range. In this work the presence of quasielastic scattering (central peak) has been documented. The obtained results suggest that the main contribution to the observed central peak comes from ion hopping. The temperature dependences of the central peak intensity and bandwidth exhibit broad anomalies around 360 K. This result clearly shows that ion hopping is related to the phase transitions at 361.6 and 356.5 K.
Optical spectroscopy of localized electronic states in SrS:Cu94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1601682View Description Hide Description
A combination of optical spectroscopy and thermoluminescence measurements were used to determine the mechanisms that can influence the emission in thin film structures and increase the electroluminescencebrightness by a factor of 2. In particular, the interaction of the emitting center with the trap states and the conduction band is considered. Thermal quenching, thermoluminescence, and temperature-dependent fluorescence transient results are compared to appropriate population dynamicsmodels in order to determine the position of the Cu excited state and the trap states with respect to the conduction band.
Optical properties of epilayers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1601685View Description Hide Description
epilayers were grown on GaAs(001) substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. The optical properties of the epilayers were studied by taking reflectance (R) and photoluminescence(PL) measurements. From the R and PL spectra, the energy gaps of the epilayers were determined and shown to decrease as the Cd concentration increased. A quadratic equation that related the energy gap to Cd concentration was also derived. The dependence of the PL spectra on temperature was studied as well. A redshift of the PL peaks was observed as the temperature increased. The excitonactivation energy of the epilayers was determined from the plots of integrated PL intensity versus temperature. It tends to decrease as the Cd content increased. The temperature dependence of the energy gaps, determined from the PL spectra, was fitted according to both Varshni's and O'Donnell and Chen's relations [Y. P. Varshni, Physica 34, 149 (1967); K. P. O'Donnell and X. Chen, Appl. Phys. Lett. 58, 2924 (1991)]. Good fits were obtained using both relations for the samples with small Cd concentration. However, the fitted O'Donnell's curve for the epilayer shows a more reasonable trend as temperature increases.
Electron paramagnetic resonance characterization of impurity ions in a single crystal94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1599048View Description Hide Description
Lead tungstate single crystalsdoped with were grown by the Czochralski method in Ar atmosphere. The electron paramagnetic resonance of the ion in a single crystal has been investigated at 9.4 GHz. The spectroscopic splitting tensorg and zero-field splitting parameters were determined using the effective spin Hamiltonian. The rotation patterns in the crystallographic planes together with spin Hamiltonian parameters of ion show that the local site symmetry of the ion in crystal is tetragonal and that the ion substitutes for the ion without local charge compensation at the nearby surroundings.
Effects of dry etching processes on effective refractive index of ZnTe surface layers in terahertz region94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602568View Description Hide Description
We report on the far-infrared (FIR) reflection spectra of high-quality ZnTe crystals exposed to gases under different rf plasma powers. The effects of reactive ion etching on the effective refractive index of perturbed ZnTe surface layers have been investigated in the terahertz (THz) frequency range of 1.5–10.0 THz. The FIR refractive index has been found to decrease with the increase of plasma power, which has been well described by Sellmeier formulas. Furthermore, the obtained experimental data have been employed for THz electro-optic applications by predicting the effects of RIE on the second-order nonlinear susceptibility and the THz pulse intensity after dispersive propagation/absorption in the ZnTe surface layers.
Properties of Cu/Au Schottky contacts on InGaP layer94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602574View Description Hide Description
We use Auger electron spectroscopy(AES) measurements to obtain elemental distributions for Cu/Au Schottky contacts to an InGaP layer in as-deposited and thermally annealed samples. The AES depth profile shows an obvious Cu layer with no apparent interdiffusion between the Cu and the InGaP layers in either the as-deposited samples or in the samples annealed at However, when the annealing temperature reached the metallic Cu layer was released, and a distinct interdiffusion between the Cu and the InGaP layers is observed. Metallic Cu and Au intermixed to form a stable intermetallic region. Below this intermetallic region, an interaction region, composed mainly of Cu and P, is observed. The formation of this region is attributable to the diffusion of Cu into the InGaP layer, and is responsible for the thermal degradation of Cu/Au Schottky contacts to the InGaP layer. In the deep-level transient spectroscopy spectra, we find an obvious trap at 150 K. This was determined to be a native trap that exists in the InGaP materials with activation energies of 0.35–0.42eV. After annealing at another trap appeared. According to a thermal degradation investigation, this trap at can be attributed to the diffusion of Cu into the InGaP layer.
Structure of electroless deposited thin films and their evolution with thermal annealing94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602572View Description Hide Description
Electroless depositedthin films have been proposed as diffusion barriers and encapsulation layers for Cu metallization in ultralarge-scale integrated microelectronic devices. In this article, we present a study of the structure of these films and their evolution with thermal anneal up to The as-deposited microstructure is comprised of an amorphous CoWP component and nanocrystallites of hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Co, approximately 5 nm in size. The amorphous CoWP component crystallizes to hcp Co at approximately with an apparent activation energy of according to the Kissinger analysis. Isothermal anneals show that the rate of nucleation with time of the hcp Co grains is constant, and grain growth is controlled by diffusion. This diffusion is most probably of the P and W elements, which enrich the grain boundaries. At approximately the orthorhombic phase nucleates. The apparent activation energy of this phase transformation is according to the Kissinger analysis. We suggest that the nucleation of the phase occurs when the grain boundaries are saturated with P. At higher temperatures, the main structural changes observed in the films are the grain growth of the predominately hcp Co grains and a delayed transformation to face-centered-cubic Co compared to bulk Co. The chemical binding state of P after high temperature anneals is covalent as in the phase. In the as-deposited film, the chemical binding state of P is significantly different, attributed to the amorphous CoWP component and the P in a solid solution in the hcp Co grains.
Study on atomic coordination around Er doped into anatase– and rutile– Er–O clustering dependent on the host crystal phase94(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1602567View Description Hide Description
Alternative Er doping into anatase (A–) or rutile can be achieved by pressure control during Er-doped deposition using laser ablation. An x-rayabsorption fine structureanalysis of the atomic coordination around Er revealed the dynamics of Er–O clustering in A– and The Er local structure in can be determined by a Ti–O arrangement of the host crystal surrounding Er, while that in can be decided by the Er–O chemical properties rather than the Ti–O arrangement. Moreover, a substitution of Er for Ti induced O deficit in and induced Ti removal in These differences can be explained by the stabilization mechanism based on the spontaneous symmetry reduction (SSR) theory. The Ti–O arrangement in prevents the SSR, resulting in instability. However, is stabilized in the host crystal because the SSR is smoothly induced in


text: Lonnie Klein Jon Nakamatsu and LCSO to perform works by Grieg, Nielsen and Berlioz By Leora Zeitlin • May 6, 2016 Leora Zeitlin For pianist Jon Nakamatsu, the biggest surprise in the 19 years since he won the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1997 is "how fast the time has gone." But, he adds, "what I'm doing is somewhat timeless," and getting to work with great musicians the world over is "what makes the time go so fast. All I wanted to do was play." He will perform Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra this weekend in the orchestra's final concerts of the season. Robert Bonfiglio, the "Paganini of the Harmonica" performs in Las Cruces By Leora Zeitlin • Mar 6, 2015 Leora Zeitlin Harmonica virtuoso Robert Bonfiglio has played hundreds of concerts in all the great concert halls of the world, but to this day, his love for the instrument and the music takes him back to his earliest days. "It brings me back to my childhood. They call it 'playing' music, they don't call it 'working' music. When it becomes 'work,' I'm not doing it anymore," he said in an interview with Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra conductor Lonnie Klein, and KRWG's Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin. 13-year-old Sujari Britt devotes her life to music By Leora Zeitlin • Sep 12, 2014 Leora Zeitlin Born into a musical family, Sujari Britt began studying violin, piano and guitar before settling at the age of four on the instrument that has made her famous: the cello. The 13-year-old prodigy has played at the White House, is in demand as a soloist with orchestras, and has just started college classes at the Manhattan School of Music. She visited Las Cruces to perform the opening concert of the 2014-2015 season with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. Connecting with the Audience: A Conversation with Ryan Anthony and Lonnie Klein By Leora Zeitlin • Apr 4, 2014 Leora Zeitlin At every concert he performs in, trumpet virtuoso Ryan Anthony strives to connect deeply with his audience and bring them the best he can, whether as a soloist, in a chamber group – such as the acclaimed Canadian Brass, which whom he performed for several years – or as principal trumpet player for the Dallas Symphony. American music and Lincoln's words: Cellist Amit Peled, Ambassador Delano Lewis & Lonnie Klein By Leora Zeitlin • Feb 7, 2014 Leora Zeitlin Although Victor Herbert enjoyed superstar fame at the turn of the 20th century, his name – and his famous Cello Concerto No. 2 – are less known today. Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled hopes to bring the concerto back into the repertoire by performing it around the country, including in an American music concert with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. For former U. S. Ambassador to South Africa Delano Lewis, narrating Aaron Copland's powerful "Lincoln Portrait" in the same concert has powerful personal meaning. Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev: A conversation with Ilya Yakushev and Lonnie Klein By Leora Zeitlin • Dec 6, 2013 Leora Zeitlin The Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff suffered a three-year depression before a doctor used hypnotherapy to bring him out of it, which enabled him to write his second Piano Concerto, one of his most beloved and famous works. Russian pianist Ilya Yakushev and LCSO conductor Lonnie Klein came to the KRWG studios to discuss with Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin whether it is important to know such stories when performing music, some of the similarities and differences between Rachmaninoff and Sergei Prokofiev, and more.
