Abstract75592-A radio frequency (RF) photoemission source that delivers polarized electrons at low emittance would be an attractive electron source for a linear collider. Moreover, if such a source were used in conjunction with nearby injection system optics, a beam with a high ratio of transverse emittances could be delivered, thereby simplifying the linear collider¿s damping system. However, present electron source technology has not developed sufficiently to assure that such a source is feasible. This project will fabricate a long-life, low emittance photocathode source for producing polarized electrons. The development of this source will require a substantial improvement in the vacuum inside an RF source, or in a booster in close proximity to a DC source, as well as an understanding and reduction of the effects of ion back bombardment. Phase I will study three configurations for beam dynamics and ion back bombardment and choose a configuration and operating temperature, so that the source for polarized electrons can be designed and fabricated in Phase II. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: All linear collider designs should benefit from long-life, low-emittance polarized sources, which would significantly ease the requirements on the damping rings. As an additional benefit, sources with a solenoid field on the cathode followed by a flat beam transformer could provide large aspect ratio beam emittance.

text: Im TaNkOnPaInT, the artist that turnt producer. I been making music since i was 9. My grandaddy was a great friend to Ray Charles, while my grandmother took care or Ray for multiple years. When I was 14, I got a job and bought my first karaoke machine. I recorded hundreds of frestyles. By the age of 17, I was deep in the streets and started to see my life change right before my eyes. Still at 17 I had dropped out of school and my mom made the best decision in my life...she got me outta there!! She made a phone call to Rochester, New York and told my father to come and get me becaue I was too hard-headed and wouldn't listen. I thought it was all a joke, but the following week I seen an unusual truck pull up in the drive-way...it was my dad. He said, "Wassup...you ready to go?" Then I said, "No!". Then he said, "You going anyway." And I was like, "No I aint!" He ended up making me get in the truck anyway. I was mad all the way to North Carolina, until I realized this is real! This a brand new start. By the time I was 20, 3 years into NY, a few beat downs from dad, and I still wouldnt listen, my life took a drastic turn for the worst. I ended back in Florida and thats where it all started. I stopped giving a damn about life, stopped being around family, got into the criminal world and ended up doing time in jail. I told myself right then that this wasnt for me. But I only knew one thing, and that's street life and it ended me back in jail over 10 times within 4 years. The last time I got in trouble, I was falsely accused and was looking at life in prison. Some kind of way God got into my life. I started to pray more. He gave me another shot at life, when I knew I was innocent the entire time All i'm saying is I am who I am. Ive learned to acceptance God into my life and he's my personal savior. I'm a real nigga, 24/7, strapped 7/24, Mr. Rapper Turnt Producer. If anyone wanna do videos and get some studio time, hit me up! I can be reached at 585-290-0385...only serious inquiries.

* Euro zone economy shrinks more than expected in Q4 * Grupo Modelo jumps after AB Inbev revises deal * Brazil Bovespa falls 0.65 pct, Mexico IPC down 0.14 pct By Asher Levine and Danielle Assalve SAO PAULO, Feb 14 Latin American stocks fell on Thursday after data showed the euro zone's economy shrank more than expected in the fourth quarter, adding to concerns over global economic growth and sapping demand for riskier investments. Commodities firms contributed most to a fall in Brazil's benchmark Bovespa index. Mexico's IPC index slipped for the fourth straight session, though shares of brewer Grupo Modelo surged. Economic output in the euro zone fell by a worse-than-expected 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter from the third and the region's two largest economies, France and Germany, both contracted more than analysts had predicted. Worries over global economic growth tend to weigh on Latin American equities as investors turn towards safe-haven assets such as the U.S. dollar. "The main concern of investors is trying to figure out if the decline in Europe's economy has already reached bottom, and the numbers are showing that we will still suffer a bit more in 2013," said Raffi Dokuzian, a director with CGD Securities in Sao Paulo. Brazil's Bovespa stock index fell for the second straight session, losing 0.65 percent to 58,027.96. If the index closes below a technical support level at 58,000 points, it may drop to a stronger support level at 55,100 points, according to an investor note from Itau Corretora. Shares of Brazil's most widely-traded commodities exporters contributed most to the index's decline, with iron-ore mining firm Vale SA slipping 1.7 percent and state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, known as Petrobras, falling 0.4 percent. Local stocks with high liquidity tend to attract foreign investors looking for exposure to Latin American equities, with their performance often tracking global risk appetite. "Negative news from abroad tends to have more of an impact on our market than positive news," said Luiz Roberto Monteiro, a trader at brokerage Renascença in Sao Paulo. "When the news is positive, investors tend to overlook it and focus on the problems we have at home." Mexico's IPC index fell slightly, losing 0.14 percent to 44,032.45 as shares of heavily-weighted telecommunications firm America Movil dropped 0.78 percent. The IPC was supported, however, by a surge in shares of brewing company Grupo Modelo. The shares rose over 4 percent after Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, said it revised the terms of its $20.1 billion takeover of the company to overcome U.S. government objections. Chile's IPSA index fell its most in three weeks, losing 0.27 percent to 4,602.19. Shares of retailer Falabella dropped 0.64 percent, contributing most to the index's losses, while Banco de Chile slid 0.76 percent. Shares of airline group LATAM were little-changed after the company said on Wednesday that its passenger traffic rose 6.3 percent in January versus a year ago.

What probiotics do you use?
mygutleaks replied to kev1231ly's topic in Diet & holistic healthi've grown my own kefir grains, i've also tried several types of soil based organisms, s. boulardi and various store brands. i can find NO correlation between probiotics and skin clearance. (but since my digestion is messed up, i still take them). growing kefir grains is by far the cheapest. going through an elimination diet to find offending foods worked for me. taking probiotics and eating those offending foods still gives me acne.

Digestive Enzyme for Protein Metabolism?
mygutleaks replied to 3mrd's topic in Diet & holistic health3mrd - have you tried betaine hcl? that might help your stomach if low stomach acid is the problem. you can also help your body create its own stomach acid by taking TMG (trimethylglycine), zinc and B vitamins. a blood test didn't work for my allergies. a skin test did though. -MGL
Magnesium Supplement?
mygutleaks replied to nikkimixam's topic in Diet & holistic healthi use spray-on Mg. very inexpensive. bypasses the gut and therefore avoids feeding gut critters (like candida) as an oral supp would.

mygutleaks replied to baze15's topic in Diet & holistic healthpeanuts are one of the 7 major allergens. (and they're very high in mycotoxins so best avoided) only way to know is to test it. i'd put money on it causing acne. they do for me! so do almonds.

Digestive Enzyme for Protein Metabolism?
mygutleaks replied to 3mrd's topic in Diet & holistic healthDigestive enzymes never did a thing for me in terms of helping acne and i took them for a while and still got/get acne from egg, chicken & gluten, and more. Cutting those foods out worked for me. i just eat turkey instead of chicken. Potatoes instead of grains. Meat instead of eggs. I recommend some testing to try and hone in on what might be wrong. a good functional medicine doctor would have access to digestive tests. in my many years of tinkering, still the only thing that works is food removal.
My Adult Acne (possibly leaky gut / candida ?)
mygutleaks replied to idkmybffStaci's topic in Diet & holistic healthi would recommend trying an ox bile supplement to help with fat digestion, given that you no longer have your g/b. fats can putrefy in the gut and cause an overgrowth of bad bacteria if not properly digested. i've tried a few different brands. imo just go for whatever's cheapest, it's rather inexpensive. you can buy it in mild strength like 125mg or higher dose like 500mg pills. too much might cause issues at first so i'd start lower. or get the higher strength and some empty capsules and cut it. it can also be bought in conjunction with animal enzymes like pancreatin, etc. i'd try it separate first, see if that helps - adding just one thing at a time. good luck. -MGL

Scalable Perceptual and Lossless Audio Coding Based on MPEG-4 AAC
This paper presents a scalable lossless enhancement of MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). Scalability is achieved in the frequency domain using the Integer Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (IntMDCT), which is an integer approximation of the MDCT providing perfect reconstruction. With this transform, and only minor extension of the bitstream syntax, the MPEG-4 AAC Scalable codec can be extended to a lossless operation. The system provides bit-exact reconstruction of the input signal independent of the implementation accuracy of the AAC core coder. Furthermore, scalability in sampling rate and reconstruction word length is supported.

In order to reconstruct attenuation maps with improved spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy, we developed an approximate method of incorporating system resolution compensation (RC) in the ordered-subset transmission (OSTR) algorithm for transmission reconstruction. Our method approximately models the blur caused by the finite intrinsic detector resolution, the nonideal source collimation and detector collimation. We derived the formulation using the optimization transfer principle as in the derivation of the OSTR algorithm. The formulation includes one forward-blur step and one back-blur step, which do not severely slow down reconstruction. The formulation could be applicable to various transmission geometries, such as point-source, line-source, and sheet-source systems. Through computer simulations of the MCAT phantom and transmission measurements of the air-filled Data Spectrum Deluxe single photo emission computed tomography (SPECT) Phantom on a system which employed a cone-beam geometry and a system which employed a scanning-line-source geometry, we showed that incorporation of RC increased spatial resolution and improved the quantitative accuracy of reconstruction. In simulation studies, attenuation maps reconstructed with RC correction improved the quantitative accuracy of emission reconstruction

Canonical seeks developers for 12 core Ubuntu Phone apps
While it's not quite up to the level of RIM's Port-a-Thon events, Canonical plans to have a dozen "core apps" ready to go for Ubuntu Phone when it hits shelves. The apps will be included on the phone, and aim to give users the foundation they've come to expect in handset software offerings. Developers who are interested in participating need to hit up Canonical's site for mock-up designs.

I have installed some plugins and activated them, but simply cannot find out now what to do. I can't find where to go to configure them or how to use them.
I've seen on some youtube tutorials that a pop up window should appear after you push the activate button saying "now activated and click here to configure." I just get the "now activated" pop up. There is nothing saying "click here to configure"
Any suggestions?

Hotties Make the Big Bucks
According to a recent news report, the Federal Reserve has concluded that 'good looking' people tend to make more money. In fact, there is evidence of a 'plainness penalty' of up to 9%, and a 'beauty premium' of up to 5%. In other words, the unattractive make as much as 9% less than people with average looks, whereas the 'beautiful' make up to 5% more.
On top of this disparity, the Fed found evidence that better looking employees are more likely to receive promotions than are their less attractive brethren. I guess it's no wonder that a looker like Alan Greenspan would be able to work his way to the top of the organization that sponsored the study! No word as to whether or not the difference had to do with discrimination on the behalf of employers, or if better looking people are simply more self confident and therefore more marketable.
Apparently the lesson here is that if you want to be successful, don't be ugly.

Do the sizes of the Cap Booster charges used in an Ancillary Shield Booster affect the shield boost amount, or only the cycle time? I've been using Cap Booster 400s in my Large ASB for some time now, but I've noticed that 50s and 100s appear to rep the same amount, but cycle faster. Am I just seeing things here, or is this how its supposed to work?
Nope, the size of the charge has absolutely no effect. Always use the smallest possible charge for Ancillary Shield Boosters.
It does not matter which size of the Cap Booster charges you use, but there is a difference between regular and Navy Cap Boosters. From the Retribution patch notes:
So you should always use the smallest charge that fits, and preferably the Navy version unless you're on a very tight budget.

Originally written on Race Review Online | Last updated 9/21/14
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is coming off two miraculous seasons in 2011 and 2012. Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards literally tied for the title in '11 with Stewart winning the tiebreaker based on wins. In '12 Brad Keselowski won his first Cup title in an epic battle with five-time champion Jimmie Johnson. The battle to get in the Chase the last few years has been fun and exciting as well. Many great drivers were left out due to the new rule of the last two wildcard spots going to guys with the most wins. The decision by NASCAR to award wildcards like that has made racing the win more intense–and meaningful–as the regular season draws to an end. Obviously only 12 guys make NASCAR's postseason. Talented drivers were left out last year and I think these are the five that can make the Chase in 2013 and have a shot at dethroning Keselowski. Kyle Busch For the second time in five years with Joe Gibbs Racing, Kyle Busch failed to make the Chase. He was in contention all year and looked to have one of the wildcard spots locked up, but a late end of regular season run by Jeff Gordon forced Busch out. That left him down and in the dumps as he pointed to that as one of his lowest points of his career. I think Busch comes out better than ever in '13 and honestly finally contends for the Sprint Cup title. It's no secret that Busch is one of the most talented drivers in the garage. His problem came with his lack of maturity. He would blow engines or put himself in trouble with his antics and never become a factor in the Chase. He's only finished in the top five of the season standings once and has only cracked the top 10 twice. He won eight races in 2010 but only finished 10th in the final standings. That says all you need to know about his past. But, last year a new Busch as he wasn't penalized once by NASCAR and he showed he's matured. Everyone has said Toyota's would have the strongest cars to start the season off and Busch could capitalize. With a new maturity level and some strong cars I think Busch not only makes the Chase but is a threat to win it. Ryan Newman It's do or die time for the "Rocketman." Ryan Newman is in his final year of his contract with Stewart-Hass Racing and is left without anywhere to go next season. It's likely SHR is bringing in Kevin Harvick in 2014 and with the add of Danica Patick this year that leaves Newman as the odd man out if he doesn't perform this year. SHR has lack of funding for all three cars this year. With brining in Harvick next season they don't have it in their budget to fund Newman out of pocket and add another car. That means he needs to perform well in '13 and make sponsors want him next year or he's out. Newman has struggled the last seven years in Cup competition. Since joining SHR in 2009, he only has three wins and has made the Chase twice. He won last year in Martinsville on April 1st, but could only muster a 14th place finish in the standings after going on a long slump. From 2002-2005 Newman finished 6th, 6th, 7th, and 6th in the final standings. Since, he has yet to get that high as he's finished better than 10th once in 2009. It's time for Newman to prove his worth in the series in '13 or he won't have a top ride in '14. Paul Menard Last year was a breakout season for Paul Menard. After earning his only career victory in the Brickyard 400 in 2011, Menard finished 16th in the season standings in 2012 and was a factor to make the Chase all season long. I think this season Menard reaches victory lane multiple times and could make the Chase as a Wildcard. RCR has a strong program and is getting better by the year. Menard is getting more and more comfortable at the Cup level and I think year three with RCR will be his year he finally gets noticed. Marcos Ambrose Marcos Ambrose was another one of those guys hanging around the Wildcard bubble last season. He won for the second straight year at Watkins Glen and had the best five race stretch near the Chase in all Sprint Cup competition. Like Menard, Ambrose is getting more and more comfortable with the car and the tracks. I think he will once again be a threat at both road courses and could possibly steal another race or two. His consistency and winning at one of the road courses could get the Tasmanian in the Chase for his first time ever. Jamie McMurray It's hard to believe Jamie McMurray has yet to make the Chase. He won the Brickyard 400 and Daytona 500 in the same year in 2010 and looked to be the next rising star in NASCAR. But McMurray and the entire EGR organization have struggled mightily the last two seasons. McMurray finished 27th in the standings in 2011 with having many engine related issues and 19th last season with much of the same issues. EGR decided to make a change and revamp their engine program in the offseason and McMurray could be the biggest beneficiary. He can be strong at all the tracks on the circuit and with the power and reliability he will be tough to beat. I like McMurray to be a threat for the Chase and be near the bubble all season long with finally landing in victory lane for the first time in three seasons. The post NASCAR: 5 Drivers who didn't make Chase in 2012 that can make Chase this season appeared first on Race Review Online.

SDCC: "Thor: Ragnarok" Props Confirm "Planet Hulk" Elements
Film, Comic Books
Danish animator Rune Ryberg made a splash in Europe last year with the release of his comics debut Gigant, a raucous — and award-winning — fantasy-comedy about a guy who attempts to free his girlfriend from the stomach of a thousand-eyed monster.
And this weekend, Ryberg sets out to do it all over again, as Gigant makes its U.S. debut at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland.
Ahead of his first appearance at SPX, Ryberg spoke with ROBOT 6 about the success of Gigant in Europe, his approach to the comic, and how the AdHouse Books edition came about.
With the debut this week of his new Image Comics series Dark Corridor, creator Rich Tommaso embarks on some changes.
First, as opposed to his recent Recoil Comics stories that focus on one or two characters, Dark Corridor features an ensemble cast. Second, the writer/artist has opted to end the grind of producing six comics at once (his Recoil pace) for this one ongoing, set in the crime-ridden city of Red Circle, whose mobsters suddenly find themselves the target of female assassins.
To mark the arrival of the series, Tommaso fielded some questions about Dark Corridor from ROBOT 6.
Best known for her work as an artist on such comics as Mara, The Kitchen and Young Avengers, Ming Doyle has a handful of writing credits on her resume. However, none is as high-profile, or as large-scale, as her latest collaboration, co-writing DC Comics' new Constantine: The Hellblazer with James Tynion IV.
Drawn by Riley Rossmo, the series launched just last month, with the goal of taking the occult investigator "back to what he was at the start — a young, sexy, dangerous, bad dude."
Ahead of the release of the second issue, we caught up with Doyle to talk about Constantine, working with collaborators Tynion and Rossmo, storytelling and more.
It's difficult to say why I enjoy interviewing Chris Schweizer so much, but it may be because he's always looking to improve his craft. And Oni Press' new editions of his Crogan Adventures series, which are in full color due to the inspiration of Brian Hurrt and Matt Kindt, are only the tip of the iceberg.
Schweizer took some time to talk with me not only about the move to color, but also the expansion of the Crogan family tree to include women, his collaborators, and whether the former SCAD instructor might some day return to teaching.
Tim O'Shea: How flattered were Brian and Matt that they indirectly prompted your decision to switch to color with Crogan?
Chris Schweizer: Yeah, I talk about their role in this a bit in the foreword to Catfoot's Vengeance, where I explain the reasons for going to color. I wouldn't really call it "indirectly." They were the catalyst behind my decision to work in color on everything (if you can call the direction that one's work takes a decision; I feel like artists have very little say in the matter — artists can hamper their own evolution but can't really steer it), which ended up requiring revisiting these earlier books to make them consistent with the ones on which I'm currently working. Their influence over that direction couldn't be more overt.
Frequently spending 12 to 13 hours a day to produce two pages, Lantern City artist Carlos Magno devotes a lot of his attention to detail. It's readily apparent in every panel of the upcoming steampunk series from Archaia.
Part of a broader multimedia property that includes a novel, an app and a planned television series, Lantern City centers on Sander Jorve, a family man who seeks to improve his lot in life. When his activist brother-in-law convinces him to infiltrates the ranks of the brutal Guard, Sander is set on a dangerous path.
Founded in 2013 by Gregory Benton, Dean Haspiel and Seth Kushner, the Brooklyn-based HANG DAI Editions (HDE) imprint has always struck me as more of a family.
This weekend, Benton, Haspiel, Kushner and Josh Neufeld, who joined HANG Dai last year, premiere new comics at MoCCA Fest 2015 [at Table 314]. To mark the occasion, I conducted a brief Q&A with each creator, in which they share what makes MoCCA such a great show.
No one is happier about it than Kushner, particularly as MoCCA 2014 was the last show he attended before his diagnosis with myeloid acute leukemia. So, much to everyone's delight, MoCCA 2015 heralds Kushner's return to comics.
Comic creators are rallying around Jupiter's Circle artist Wilfredo Torres, who recently lost his wife Monica following a long battle with cancer. Spearheaded by Brent Schoonover, a group of Torres' friends and associates have organized a rapidly growing fundraiserto help "a great guy and his family during a difficult time."
Initially as a seven-day art auction on eBay, the #TorresBenefit has mushroomed into much more, thanks to the reach of social media and the kindness of the industry.
Zander Cannon fans can rejoice, as the first issue of his Oni Press giant-monster series Kaijumax hits shelves on Wednesday. When I first heard about the comic, which is send on an island prison for for kaiju, the phrase "Pacific Rim meets Orange is the New Black" was mentioned. That's certainly an apt comparison.
Creatively this project marks a major departure for Cannon, as all of his work is completely digital for the first time. The cartoonist shared a peek behind the scenes at a page from the second issue, showing the steps from rough layout to final product:
At first glance, you might expect Lucy Knisley's latest travelogue Displacement to be filled with the same humor and insight as her previous books Relish: My Life in the Kitchen and An Age of License. After all, it recounts the 2012 cruise with her memory-impaired 91-year-old grandmother and physically challenged 93-year-old grandfather. Yet the quality that's made Knisley a great storyteller — her ability to recall nuanced encounters with a blend of wit and compassion — allows her to craft a compelling and complicated account of this time spent with her grandparents.
Stéphanie Hans clearly loves her work.
During the past five years, the artist has quickly become a fan and critic favorite for her distinctive approach to covers. More recently, however, as she notes in this interview with ROBOT 6, she has enjoyed how her collaboration with Marguerite Bennett on Angela: Asgard's Assassin has pushed the artist outside of her creative comfort zone.
In addition to addressing the difference between the demands of her U.S. comics work compared to the covers she produces for French prose publishers, Hans explains why she thinks it's important for her to share her creative process on Tumblr for aspiring artists.
Creatively, this will be a satisfying week for Invisible Republic creators Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman, as the first issue of their ambitious sci-fi adventure — "Breaking Bad meets Blade Runner" — arrives from Image Comics.
Bechko and Hardman initially started Invisible Republic around 2009, only to set aside in order to collaborate on other projects. When the creators picked it up again, Hardman chose to rework his art to a certain extent. Fortunately for ROBOT 6, Hardman notes, "I drew the entire first issue years ago before we reworked it into its current form and we haven't shown these original versions of the pages anywhere else."
The black-and-white pages are the original versions, while the final versions are in color (courtesy of series colorist Jordan Boyd).
Writers James Tynion IV and Noah J. Yuenkel have teamed with artist Matt Fox for UFOlogy, a six-issue miniseries debuting April 1 from BOOM! Studios. Set in the Midwest, the story centers on two teens, Becky and Malcolm, who uncover a mystery involving aliens that somehow traumatized both of their parents more than a decade ago. To mark the launch of this new series, BOOM! Studios asked artist Alison Sampson to create a Jackpot Variant, which will only be one for every 100 copies of Fox's main cover.
Sampson shared with ROBOT 6 the creative process behind her cover:
Three factors interest me after reading the first issue of Southern Cross, the Image Comics mystery–set on a futuristic tanker spaceship–by writer Becky Cloonan, artist Andy Belanger and color artist Lee Loughridge. Something about the way the cast is introduced as the series lead Alex Braith boards the tanker flight to Titan (a refinery moon) plays out in a manner that is reminiscent of a 1970s murder mystery movie set on a train. Secondly, the cinematic scale of some of Belanger's establishing shots, particularly of the tanker itself. But most of all, I find myself taken by the troubled and somewhat internally conflicted character of Braith herself.
As a kid, I was a DC and Marvel junkie. In fact well into my 30s I was still very much all about the two main publishers, in retrospect much to my shame. If you look at most of my ROBOT 6 peers, their collective reading tastes in their younger days was far more diverse than mine ever was. I am glad to say that these days, my reading is far more diverse. Rather than getting wrapped up in the universes of the big two, my reading choices typically are driven by the creative teams on a project. Such is the case with the new Valiant ongoing, Imperium.
Hellbreak, the upcoming supernatural action series by Cullen Bunn, Brian Churilla and Dave Stewart, marks a departure on two fronts for the illustrator, who not only embarked on a new artistic style but also made the move to digital.
Ahead of the title's debut next week from Oni Press, Churilla shared with ROBOT 6 a look at his process. It's particularly interesting to learn that preference for working in blue pencil, as he explains, mostly is due to the influence of the Chip Kidd/Paul Dini Batman Animated art book.

I read, I can't remember where, that the hard drive is unlocked while there is a game running in the drive. Well I've tried hotswapping, and I can never seem to get the timing down right. So, can I just put Halo in, and then when it's at the screen that says "Press Start" just hotswap there? Will that work? Thanks for any help.

Search for a hotswapping tut. There are other ways to unlock your hd, like unplugging your dvd drive ide cable to get an error 12 or 13 (no completely sure, i dont hotswap) and when it boots to the error message, your hd is unlocked at that time.

I read DaddyJ's tut and never saw that mentioned, so I have read up on hotswapping, I just never read that idea before, but thanks for your help.

I tried unplugging the dvd drive, but now it never even goes to the error screen. I just get a steady green light. But I just now thought, that maybe the IDE cable to the hdd was too loose. Would that cause it to be a steady green light?

text: Astrotech Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Astrotech ( ASTC) is a commercial aerospace company that provides spacecraft payload processing and related services, designs and manufactures space hardware, and commercializes space technologies for use on Earth. This stock is trading up 11.7% at $1.25 in recent trading. Today's Range: $1.10-$1.26 52-Week Range: $0.50-$1.34 Volume: 101,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 72,148 From a technical perspective, ASTC is ripping to the upside here right off its 50-day moving average of $1.12 with above average volume. This move has also pushed ASTC into breakout territory, since the stock has taken out some near-term overhead resistance at $1.15. Traders should now look to play the next major breakout trade for ASTC. That trade will trigger once ASTC takes out some past overhead resistance at $1.34 with high volume. Traders should look for long-biased trades as long as ASTC is trending above $1.15, and then once it takes out $1.34 with volume that's near or above 72,148 shares. If we get that action soon, then ASTC will have a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.56 and then $1.78 to $1.93. Prev 3 of 9 Next

The interweb has given us many things over the years, including leetspeak, embedded MIDI files of the theme from Small Wonder, and pictures of rabbits stacking things on their head.

Reviews for California Game Wardens Foundation
My name is Jack Edwards. As a retired game warden, I have been active with this foundation since its inception. We have been doing great things for the game wardens and their families. We have provided scholarships every year to all who have applied. We have also provided emergency funds to wardens or their families as needed. Too bad the link on this site is incorrect. The correct link to the foundation is www.CaliforniaGameWardensFoundation.com.

Although it was Good Friday,there were virtually no lift lines,and the variety of well covered trails was impressive.
The views of snow capped Mt. Washington and the other presidentials were great .We almost had the west side of the area to ourselves at times.My only gripes would be: 1. the location of the trail signs,which often only pointed in the vague direction of where the trails actually began ( All five of us rarely knew the name and level of the trail we were skiing on,an important consideration for skill- challenged low intermediates like me who want reasonable assurance of making it down without having to battle all the way.)2. The cafeteria prices were ,as at most resorts,bordering on obscene.However,we've learned to bring our own food.Underestimating how warm it would be,however,we were all ripped off on the soft drinks we had to buy to slake our raging thirst.I think someresort would draw crowds by having reasonably priced victuals.Despite these two complaints,however,we had a wonderful day of skiing -better,in fact,than we expected.

Hey how come it's like obligatory to be a surfer and like Pennywise? I'm just axing a question so don't youse guys go and get all bent and sh!t.
There was few of those bands from that era that had that status. I heard two songs from one of these bands, can't recall, but they had that "punk" label........And it was gay(as in happy) as heck. It was one of them NOFX, Pennywise surfer boy groups.....Punk? Man, you got to talk to Dale Johnson aboot punk. He'll out-obscure any of youse guys.
Man, you guys want to be cool? Well, listen to Black Sabbath, old Black Sabbath, the real stuff, and drink tons and do tons of drugs. Do this when you have serious life problems and have the serious blues. It's really effective then. That will make you cool.
Or if you want to be a little fake, listen to Marlyin Manson and hang out in grave yards........wear makeup........Be "dark and moody."

I was introduced to punk one summer night when I heard Bad Religion's Automatic Man...I was surfing and sponging before I skated, so prior to that, I was listening to the Dead and the Pearl Jam stuff that was around. Anyway, that night, after hearing Automatic Man, we went and skated till like 4 a.m. Then I stumbled upon Pennywise, Guttermouth, other 90's punk 'revival' bands(it was well timed with my adolesence), then I started getting into the bands that influenced them, the Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Agent Orange, etc. Idk man, something about the speed and intensity of that music for me aligned perfectly with what I felt in the water. Plus, with the timing, it went well w/ my 'teenage angst'.
\nNever really got into the english-y sounding stuff. I still love those good rock and roll bands PJB.
'; pd[186655] = '
Ok , I just gave that a listen. I apologize because it wasn't the band I heard. It was of them bands that surfers seem to flock to, though, just can't recall who.
Yo, Seldom, there was this one Agent Orange album that had like four or five kickarse songs.
Yeah, been listening to this Pennywise stuff......nahhhh.
Ok, here's how it works. When I say something you like sucks......you don't get offended, you respond, " F You PJB you suck."
See that's how it works here in New Jersey. We don't get upset aboot that kind of stuff and we always insult each other.....
Just a little cultural lesson so we all get along.......so I don't have to worry aboot Rcarter luanching a second Civil War.

Official Summary
Kids, listen up. I want you to gather around while I tell you a story you may have never heard before. I'm sure you've been curious about this for your whole lives. Well, here it is. This is how I met my monster. I, Noah Bienstock, was a shy, lonely 6th-grader. Then I met Monroe Sternom, the new kid in school. Monroe was assigned the seat next to me in school, and we instantly hit it off. But there were some strange things about my new friend. Sometimes when I looked at Monroe, he appeared to be someTHING else. If I only knew the trouble he would get me into.

I'm developing a Java ME app & need pointers to some really good UI libraries. I did see a few such as Java ME Polish. Are there any more out there? For e.g. ebuddy's java ME app has an amazing UI and so is gmail's java ME app. What libraries would they have been using or would have they have developed it on their own?
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.
Sun recently released and opensourced their solution to crappy looking lcdui. It is called LIghtweight UI Toolkit and can be found on lwuit.dev.java.net
We have been trying lately on kuix.. So far so good and more light weight than LWUIT code.http://code.google.com/p/kuix
eSWT would be available for MIDlets on the latest J9 VM, as used by the Series60 3rd Edition feature Pack 2 handsets (Nokia N78, 6210, N96...) but we're mainly talking about nicer looking UI controls. Basically, a MIDlet can look much more like a native application now.
Sun has recently open-sourced LWUIT.That could also be worth a look.
Nothing beats drawing your own images on a Canvas,though. Generic layout managers in any kind of library will only get you so far. You should only look at the available technologies once you have a good idea of how many different kind of screens your application should have and what they look like.
Most of the apps with amazing UIs (Opera Mini, Gmail, any game from an AAA developer) use custom UIs developed in-house. These developers take the task of developing an UI as one more in their projects and give it personality, involving professional graphic designers. Going with a packaged library would quickly accomplish the task but it would make the application look generic and bland (less bland that with the default UI, but still bland and limited).
In short, go with a packaged UI for quick development, but don't expect the level of quality to be near the apps you mentioned.
I'm facing a similar dilemma right now. We're currently using the default, high-level LCDUI framework for the speed of development, but its severely limiting what we can do. I had thought our best option would be to use a third-party UI framework, but I'm now coninced that if we're serious about the application we should write our own. Its like anything in software, if its mission critical to your application you should write it yourself, even if it that means re-inventing the wheel.
Digitalapes has developed a framework for J2ME application development that includes a high level UI library.
The library is lightweight and well documented, you can get have a look at the Gear framework page for more information, or you can directly download the JAR and javadoc from Gear's sourceforge page.
Digitalapes blog includes also a series of tutorial about how to use the framework.
Polish has really nice set of UI components, which are skinable with css style comments. It also features a device database for compatibility purposes.
Some tipps if you decide to go with polish (as i did):
I've used SWT when deploying to a full profile J2ME (IBM J9 on PocketPC), I don't know if it is usable by MIDlets however. It's quite a nice GUI library in its own way, and far better than AWT.
Unfortunately companies usually end up designing their own GUI's when it comes to mobile development. It's the only way to have full control over your interfaces, but you should consider if it's worth the additional development time, and you're also on your own when it comes to device compatibility issues / handset bugs - of which there are plenty.
If you are happy with a less flexible interface, you can go with one of the existing libraries. I currently use J2ME GUI from http://www.garcer.com/. We get the same flexibility as with desktop development and it also features custom styling, so with a little extra effort you can make it look the way you want it to.
You can use LWUIT for the UI development in J2ME framework.

After firing Eric Mangini on Monday, some coaching names are starting to surface for the Cleveland Browns. Yesterday it was Perry Fewell. Today it's Mike Mularkey.
The Denver Broncos and Browns are among the teams waiting to interview Mularkey, who is the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons. Here is more from NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas.
Mularkey has done a good job in Atlanta as offensive coordinator. But he flamed out as a head coach, going just 14-18 in two seasons with the Buffalo Bills from 2004 to 2005.
Browns president Mike Holmgren said Monday that he will exhaust every avenue to get the best head coach possible to Cleveland. It's still very early in the process, but the first two names to go public haven't been overwhelming.

Four underrated, four overrated hitters
Updated: June 29, 2011, 12:22 PM ETBy Tristan H. Cockcroft | ESPN.com
Maybe Evan Longoria is mad at me.
I won't mince words. During this past Thursday's chat, I said this: "Evan Longoria is overrated. There, I said it. Hey, great player, his future is bright, but right now there's this belief, based upon his reputation, that he's an automatic top-10 player."
In five games since, Longoria is hitting .429 (9-for-21) with three doubles, four home runs, 11 RBIs, two walks and seven runs scored.
Obviously, I'm being facetious ...

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The verdict on the hottest new indie movies is in by way of the Sundance Film Festival Awards 2013 and some of this year's biggest award winners are African-American films.
Fruitvale, which stars Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer, picked up both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the U.S. dramatic competitions. The drama tells the true-life fatal shooting story of 22-year-old Bay Area resident Oscar Grant, who was killed in San Francisco's BART by security guards.
American Promise earned the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking. This intimate film chronicles the 12-year friendship between two African-American boys and their families as they seek to better their lives through education. The movie examines the boys' and their families' intertwined lives from kindergarten through high school.
The film Ain't Them Bodies Saints was awarded the Cinematography Award in the U.S. dramatic competition. The drama is the story of a young outlaw couple and their transformed lives after one takes the fall for the other's crimes. The movie stars Nate Parker and Rooney Mara.
On the technical side, the documentary Gideon's Army, which documents the committed and often thankless work of public defenders, picked up the U.S. Documentary Editing Award.

The high base elevation and location of Timberline allow it to receive above average snowfall in the form of lake effect from the Great Lakes. However, the road system into the region is older and can easily be shutdown by massive snowfall. The road system is currently under great improvement and access will improve greatly in 1-2 years. The area is still far away from Metropolitan areas, because of this and the likelihood of being snowed in, many that live in the cities do not go to this resort. A lack of customers has prevented the resort from truly profiting enough to make capital improvements in their equipment.
Their equipment, overall, is severely outdated. Lift service is provided from two triple lifts, which are prone to breakdown and appear to be dated from the early to mid 1970s. The snow making is the form of fans on tricycle carts which are moved with snowmobiles. The quality of the machined granular is of above average quality, relative to man made snow.
The staff is poorly presented and many of the lifties likely to not ski or ride. The food, like all resorts, is overpriced. In this case the food is of extremely poor quality. Others places, while overpriced, still present something worth spending the time to eat.
I have seen, but not used, their rental equipment. Bring your own stuff, enough said.
The terrain and the natural snow are of high quality. This makes the mountain itself of rather high quality and fun. If it was closer to the cities, DC/Baltimore it would make a lot more money and be a great place to go.
*Be attentive of others on the mountain, ski patrol is scarce/ doesn't care and many learning the sport may run into you at trail convergences and run over your new skis.

And I say that Your Highnesses ought not to consent that any foreigner does business or sets foot here, except Christian Catholics since this was the end and the beginning of the enterprise, that it should be for the enhancement and glory of the Christian religion, nor should anyone who is not a good Christian come to these parts. Here may be found the first suggestion of the exclusive colonial policy that Spain and other nations followed.

"Of this voyage, I observe," says the Admiral, "that it has miraculously been shown, as may be understood by this writing, by the many signal miracles that He has shown on the voyage, and for me, who for so great a time was in the court of Your Highnesses with the opposition and against the opinion of so many high personages of your household, who were all against me, alleging this undertaking to be folly, which I hope in Our Lord will be to the greater glory of Christianity, which to some slight extent already has happened."

The Admiral ordered the lord to be given some things, and he and all his folk rested in great contentment, believing truly that they had come from the sky, and to see the Christians they held themselves very fortunate.

Larger and finer meanings are read into the older legends of the plants, and the universality of certain myths is expressed in the concurrence of ideas in the beginnings of the great religions. One of the first figures in the leading cosmologies is a tree of life guarded by a serpent. In the Judaic faith this was the tree in the garden of Eden; the Scandinavians made it an ash, Ygdrasil; Christians usually specify the tree as an apple, Hindus as a soma, Persians as a homa, Cambodians as a talok; this early treee is the vine of Bacchus, the snake-entwined caduceus of Mercury, the twining creeper of the Eddas, the bohidruma of Buddha, the fig of Isaiah, the tree of Aesculapius with the serpent around his trunk.

What a dead thing is a clock, with its ponderous embowelments of lead and brass, its pert or solemn dullness of communication, compared with the simple altar-like structure and silent heart-language of the old sundials! It stood as the garden god of Christian gardens. Why is it almost everywhere vanished? If its business-use be superseded by more elaborate inventions, its moral uses, its beauty, might have pleaded for its continuance. It spoke of moderate labours, of pleasures not protracted after sunset, of temperance, and good hours. It was the primitive clock, the horologue of the first world. Adam could scare have missed it in Paradise.

Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience. We think we are doing our duty when we're only talking about it.
Charles F. Banning
Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. . . . . For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness.

Evangelism is not an activity at all. It is rather an attitude of mind behind all Christian activity. Evangelism is not a list of certain things done, but the spirit in which they are done. That is precisely why it cannot be organized. It is perhaps best described as an attitude of mind towards God and the world - an attitude which the Church must recover if she is to be true to her Lord, and to seize hold of the present opportunity.
