I interviewed Andy about the session, which tackled tough questions like: "How do you cope with doing search engine optimization for a company with tens of divisions, hundreds of products, thousands of web pages and seemingly no way to bring order to the chaos?" and "Where do you begin with the SEO process?"

I have a question - how can I do so that the photo in the header would be adaptive.
The whole theme is adaptive, but the top photo size does not change. whe we change site size.
Thank you!
I'm also having this problem and would like to learn about a solution. Is there some CSS I can add/change? Something in PHP?
UPDATE: I think I may have figured it out. I don't know if this will break something else, but it seems to work for me for now. Any feedback is appreciated.
In the WordPress theme editor, I added the following line to "Theme Functions (functions.php)" in the "Add custom header support" section:
background-size: 100% 100%;
I added it directly below:
background: url(<?php header_image(); ?>);
My new functions.php custom header support section looks like:
* Add custom header support
if ( ! function_exists( 'bouquet_header_style' ) ) :
* Styles the header image and text displayed on the blog
function bouquet_header_style() {
// If no custom options for text are set, let's bail
if ( HEADER_TEXTCOLOR == get_header_textcolor() && '' == get_header_image() )
// If we get this far, we have custom styles. Let's do this.
<style type="text/css">
// Do we have a custom header image?
if ( '' != get_header_image() ) :
#branding {
background: url(<?php header_image(); ?>);
background-size: 100% 100%;
Again, I don't know if this affects other things in a negative way, but it fixed the problem of the header image not scaling.
Feedback is appreciated.
It worked for me too! Thanks!
I am having the same problem. I tried this fix and it squeezes the header image horizontally so it becomes unreadable. If I use
background-size 100%, it squeezes the header horizontally AND vertically, and repeats. Instead of trying a no-repeat, I want to use a different image for 450px. So, in CSS. I have this:
@media (max-width: 450px) {
#branding{ background-image: url(http://undertheboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/underboomphone2.jpg);
#branding .header-link {
min-height: 90px;
etc. }
My image is 450 x 90px.
But it does not work. The default header image gets cut off, and the smaller image does not load. I'm a novice, learning quickly, so it could be a missing bracket issue :-), but I can't see it. Here's the site: undertheboom.com
Thanks for any help!

If the lower teens are the coldest temps you'd experience, and you're mostly above 30 or so, I'd probably stick with a 20, and layer up for those chillier nights. You could always get a couple of...
I take my 15' webbing straps when I'm out west, JIC. I have whoopies in addition to that. I'd rather have two heavier straps in my pack than go to ground.
I remembered not having too much trouble...
I too, sing the Incubator's praises. It is so comfortable, and user friendly.
Another great series of vids, Shug. They sure do keep me inspired!
I first started hanging in local parks, to try out my gear. You just have to get out there, no matter what, and do some field testing! I am yet to try out a footbox, so I expect I'll have to get my...
Another Brit here, currently living in the States. Welcome!
I'm out for this one. I have to work. So sad about this! I hope it's a blast. I'll make it to a hang ASAP. I'd love to meet some local hangers.
Just received my new 20* incubator, and what a superbly crafted bit of kit it is!
Thanks Hammock Gear!
I've still got plenty of work to do before I'm done for the day, so i'll settle for turning...
Love it! Can't wait for the next installment. What a gorgeous canine companion. How do you spell her name?

GREAT! I should be in for the saturday. That's the only night we can come. (Me & my husband)

Can't wait for Episode VIII!? This should tide you over.
As Star Wars fans around the world continue to bask in the news that J.J. Abrams will direct Episode VII, Disney made everything official on Friday night.
"It's very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new Star Wars movie," Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy announced…
Lucasfilm and Disney have secured Toy Story 3's Michael Arndt to write Star Wars: Episode VII, and now they're looking at two more writers to pen the rest of the trilogy.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that Simon Kinberg and Lawrence Kasdan have locked deals to "write and produce Episodes VIII and IX."
The only thing people are talking more about than the announcement of a new Star Wars movie is what that movie will be about.
Since Disney announced both their purchase of Lucasfilm and their plan to release Star Wars: Episode VII in 2015 — the first chapter in a new trilogy – the…
With Hollywood still recovering from Disney buying Lucasfilm, Wednesday proved to be a slower than usual newsday.
But a few notable items managed to get our attention.
Read on for updates on Star Wars: Episode VII, a film adaptation of Stephen King's Cell and The Muppets sequel.
The internet just imploded. Why?
Disney has bought Lucasfilm and has set Star Wars: Episode VII for a 2015 release, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Tuesday.
And no, we're not making this up.

We produce pork, lamb, goat, and quail that are raised humanely and with respect from birth to butcher. Most of our livestock is fed 100% organically and all are pastured and all graze. We also produce vegetables and fruits in season. Our quail and pastured hens produce eggs with rich orange yokes. Hammock Farm is located in Brooksville, in Central Florida. We are your source of naturally raised food with no herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, soy, and of course always non-GMO.
We want your next meal to naturally be the best you've ever tasted!
Our pork is 100% Berkshire. According to the Rouxbe Online Cooking School Blog: Berkshire pork is renowned for its richness, texture, marbling, juiciness, tenderness and overall depth of flavor. It is thought by many to be the Kobe beef of pork. It is said to have a very specific taste, not generic and bland or mild like regular pork.
We find our Katahdin and Katahdin cross lambs to have a mild lamb taste. They are tender and have good marbling. In a taste comparision with store bought lamb we find the store bought lamb to be tougher and have more of a gamey taste. Katahdins are a medium sized hair sheep so expect smaller (but tastier) cuts than you would get from commercial feed lot sheep.
If you want better tasting food that has been raised with care from start to finish place your order today! We look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Environmental stewardship, variety, and animal well-being come together to create unforgetable meals with friends and family!
All our animals have pasture.
All our garden plants and fruits are grown from the nutrients in our compost pile. We never use chemical herbicides, fertilizers, or pesticides. Nealy 100% of our seeds are organic.
In the spring we grow pretty incredible sweet onions!

Muni Bond Declines Jar ETFs
NEW YORK—The recent trading turmoil in municipal bonds has led to a scramble among investors to unload municipal-bond exchange-traded funds, amplifying worries about the state of the market.
Over the past several days, concerns over new municipal-bond sales and issues like the fate of the expiring Build America Bond program have prompted a frenzy of selling, driving down prices and boosting yields. The concerns of bearish investors have reverberated in trading of investments like ETFs, which to a large extent have seen even greater price declines than the individual municipal bonds the funds are meant to represent.
ETFs are baskets of stocks, bonds, commodities or other financial instruments that change hands on the stock exchange. Municipal-bond ETFs, which first appeared about four years ago, are often used by mom-and-pop investors with accounts too small to make trading individual bonds cost-effective.
Holding about $8 billion today, muni ETFs are a tiny sliver of the $2.8 trillion municipal-bond market. However, because ETFs are rapidly traded, some investors look to ETF market prices for insight into what other investors are thinking, in much the way trading activity in Standard & Poor's 500 stock futures can give a read on the stock market.
Declines in some municipal-bond ETFs may be spooking small investors. For instance, the $2.1 billion iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond MUB 0.14 % ETF, the largest fund of its kind, saw its share price knocked to $100.40 on Tuesday from more than $105 last week.
"I would expect a maximum decline of 5% in a year, so to see it all in a matter of days would be a concern," said Reston, Va., financial adviser Mark Atherton, whose clients have used the ETF in the past and own similar municipal-bond-index funds now. "It looks like the last three or four trading days have not been kind at all."
Complicating the matter is the fact that the most popular municipal-bond ETFs have seen prices fall more sharply than the value of the funds' own holdings. The $2.1 billion iShares ETF and the $931 million SPDR Nuveen Barclays Capital Municipal Bond TFI 0.10 % ETF each closed about 2% below the value of the bonds they own on Tuesday and more than 2.4% below on Monday, according to fund researcher Morningstar Inc.
In normal circumstances ETFs are supposed to track the value of their holdings almost to the penny. However, amid big market moves that doesn't always happen. During the financial crisis many bond ETFs regularly missed their marks, some days by 5% or more.
While investors sometimes find the dynamic surprising, ETF fund companies argue that odd-looking ETF prices accurately reflect investor sentiment. Since the funds are traded more regularly than the bonds the funds' themselves own, ETF share prices can be a better gauge of what the market thinks the bonds are worth than possibly-stale trading prices of the bonds themselves, the fund companies argue.
"Investors who are finding it hard to trade in the municipal market are turning to ETFs," says Matt Tucker, a managing director at BlackRock Inc., iShares' parent. While the iShares ETF's value has declined, trading volume has spiked, he notes, an indication investors are using the fund to place bets on the market. More than 220,000 shares of iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF changed hands Tuesday, about twice the fund's regular trading volume.

I'm running php with curl support on a mac. cURL in php works fine(ish) but I noticed an oddity reported by
phpinfo(). It states that curl support is 7.19.7
But using the otool command, I get this:
# otool -L `which php`
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.1.0)
I was wondering what is the relationship between libcurl's 'current version 6.1.0' and php curl's 'curl support 7.19.7'?
Basically just making sure I don't have a version mismatch, because I'm experiencing some PHP DNS issues that I'm trying to debug.

Case competitions give students the opportunity to showcase their business talents in a week-long competition where they are presented a real-world business problem. Corporate sponsors write each case and judge the competition. In the past, winners of the competition have represented McCombs in larger competitions like the USC Marshall Cup Case Competition and the International Case Competition in Hong Kong. Case prizes for the top three winning teams usually range from $500-$2000. Previous sponsors have included: ConocoPhillips, General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Shell, Target, OtherInbox and Dropbox. This program provides students a wonderful opportunity to develop problem-solving skills while gaining exposure to major companies and varying industries.

We can examine the evolution of multilevel societies using comparative studies. Intraspecific comparisons are valuable because confounding factors are reduced. Female sperm whales live in multilevel societies. However, studies at several locations have found substantial and consistent differences in social structure between the eastern Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans, even though nuclear DNA shows no significant differentiation between the populations. In the Pacific, female sperm whales live in nearly permanent social units that typically contain about 11 females and immatures of multiple unrelated matrilines. These units form temporary groups with other units for periods of days, apparently exclusively with other units from the same cultural clan. Clans contain thousands of females, are not distinct in nuclear DNA, but are sympatric and have distinctive culturally determined vocalizations and movement patterns. In the North Atlantic social units rarely group with other units, and there is no evidence for sympatric cultural clans. Possible drivers of these contrasts include oceanographic differences, predation, the effects of whaling, and culture. We suggest that protection against predation by killer whales is the primary reason for grouping in the Pacific, and as killer whales do not seem such a threat in the Atlantic, social units there rarely form groups, and have not evolved the clans that primarily function to structure interunit interactions. This analysis highlighted several factors that may influence the evolution of multilevel societies, ranging from the attributes of resources, to predation, anthropogenic effects, culture, and even the cultures of other species.

Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

Midland City, AL - Nearly four months after a hostage standoff in Dale County, we're finally getting a look inside the underground bunker.
The FBI just released photos taken inside the bunker in Midland City where Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, held 5-year-old Ethan hostage for 7 days.
Dykes stormed a Dale County School Bus on January 29 and told the driver, Charles Poland he wasn't leaving without a child.
Poland refused and tried to protect the kids. Dykes shot and killed him. That's when police say he snatched Ethan and took him to the underground bunker on his property.
The bunker measured about 8 by 6 feet and was buried 12 feet underground. It's not much bigger than a parking space.
Also, there's a picture from the command center that was staged inside a nearby church. You can see the army of law enforcement officers that worked for about a week to rescue Ethan.
The FBI also released audio recordings of the 9-1-1 call when Dykes first stormed the bus, as well as phone calls between Dykes and negotiators.
In the end, the FBI stormed the bunker and shot Dykes. Ethan was unharmed.

Using Your Head to Stop Phone-Call Pains in the Neck
By JULIA LAWLOR
Published: February 18, 1999
NOT long ago, users of telephone headsets tended to be workers like telephone operators, telemarketers and airline reservationists. Corporate executives who wanted to free up their hands during long phone conversations invariably chose speaker phones -- despite the fact that they offered less privacy and questionable sound quality.
But the need for multitasking, at work and at home, has changed that. Think of Tom Cruise screaming, ''Show me the money!'' into the microphone of a headset in the movie ''Jerry Maguire.''
It might be a stretch to say headsets are hip, but they are certainly becoming more and more useful. A workplace populated with cubicle dwellers means speaker phones are less practical. And nobody can just talk on the telephone anymore.
''Gone are the days when you put stuff in your Out basket and gave it to your administrative assistant,'' said Tom Benoit, marketing communications manager for Plantronics, in Santa Cruz, Calif., which says it is the leading maker of headsets in the United States. ''The demand on workers to perform many functions at once has increased. Today, you'll probably have to do your own filing while you talk on the phone.''
The increase in the number of at-home workers has prompted large retail outlets like Radio Shack and Staples to sell headsets, once available only through employers or office supply catalogues. Now anyone who needs to type on a computer, open mail, punch a calculator or apply fingernail polish while talking on the phone may want to buy a headset.
Plantronics began selling headsets, a fairly simple technology involving a speaker and a microphone, in 1962. Its products were worn by astronauts on the Apollo space missions.
Today there are 125 million workers in the United States, and about 10 million use the phone four or more hours each day, making them prime candidates for a headset, said a Plantronics spokeswoman, Anne Friscia. She said the market for headsets was estimated at $452 million in 1997 and was increasing at a rate of 17 percent a year.
Beyond multitasking, one reason for the growing popularity of headsets is a heightened awareness among workers of the damage that can be caused by cradling a telephone handset (or an ever smaller cellular phone) between your head and your shoulder.
Alan Hedge, a professor of ergonomics at Cornell University, said the practice of bending your neck and raising one shoulder to hold the phone so your hands can be free could change the shape of the spine. ''You end up with restricted range of motion and with back, neck and shoulder problems,'' he said.
Professor Hedge said maintaining such a posture for a prolonged period could cause symptoms similar to those associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, a common workplace ailment that involves tingling and pain in the hands and fingers and is caused by compression of nerves in the wrist.
''The median nerve that goes down to the fingertips starts at your neck,'' Professor Hedge said. ''If you trap that nerve at the neck, you get the same tingling sensation in the fingers that you get by trapping the nerve at the wrist. There's some evidence that in a number of cases of what's diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome, the problem isn't inside the wrist, it's at the neck.''
Manufacturers make headsets in a range of styles, including traditional over-the-head models, headsets that fit over the ear or inside the ear, ultralight models that weigh less than one-third of an ounce and headsets for mobile phones.
Telephone headsets designed for office use range in price from about $50 to $250, and most provide such features as mute buttons, volume controls and automatic sound protection that keeps incoming noise -- like that emitted by fax signals -- at comfortable levels. Good-quality headsets also have static-resistant components and adjustable headbands, and many offer microphones with noise-canceling capability to cut out background sounds.
Customers should be wary, however, of changes in technology that may make a headset bought today obsolete in a matter of months. A cordless headset telephone manufactured by Aastra Telecom and sold by Bed, Bath and Beyond for $89.99 failed to work when tested in December, and the only advice from the company's technical support line was to send it back and get a new one. But when a replacement was requested, a company spokeswoman said the product was being discontinued in favor of another model using new technology, to be offered sometime this spring.
With the advent of voice recognition technology and Internet telephony, many manufacturers now make headsets that allow a user to switch between a personal computer and a telephone. The Andrea Electronics Corporation of Long Island City, Queens, recently introduced the first desktop device that lets headset users connect to a telephone and a PC simultaneously, without having to pause to switch back and forth. A user can have a conversation on the telephone while simultaneously having a microphone pick up the conversation and, through voice-recognition software, enter it as text into a PC.

We spoke to former Bush EPA chief Christie Whitman on the Clean Power Plan, nuclear power, the urgent need for climate action, and why she "certainly" doesn't "talk about climate change ... to the Republicans" on Capitol Hill.
Monday marked the final day for public comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule to limit carbon emissions from existing and modified power plants, but the EPA, members of Congress, and advocates from both sides say the process is far from over.
Tuesday's midterm elections opened up a host of state-level green energy policies to GOP attacks. But they also put a climate hawk into the governor's office of the country's third-largest carbon emitter.

In what's either evidence of the zombie apocalypse or a sign that filming is under way for the second season of The Walking Dead, part of Georgia State Route 20 has been shut down by countless abandoned cars. Oh, all right, it's latter.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports a stretch of highway in southern Henry County, home to the Atlanta Motor Speedway, will be closed through Thursday night while scenes for the AMC drama are filmed. The Georgia Department of Transportation issued a press release in March advising motorists to avoid the area because of "ongoing road work," a move designed to cut down on people showing up to watch production.
Based on the comic by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead is shot on location in the Atlanta area. The first season ended with Rick Grimes leading the small group of survivors away from the fiery remains of the Centers for Disease Control (aka the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre) and a city overrun by walkers. We already know that the 13-episode second season will include a visit to Hershel's Farm and, presumably Wiltshire Estates and the prison.
The Walking Dead returns in October on AMC.
No Actually the DOT is correct as they are resurfacing/Paving 19/41 and have been for the lat month.
That may be correct…but they are indeed filming the walking dead near atlanta motor speedway also.

by Passion Pit
- Record Label: Frenchkiss
- Release Date: May 19, 2009
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Not every song is perfect, but perfection is boring. What we need in these weary times--and what Passion Pit brings--is exuberance. Manners delivers the elusive feeling that everything will be alright. Or, just maybe, that everything already is.
After years of Boston's repping itself on the national stage with scally caps and mime make-up, the promising prospect of a blog-stoking, pant-tightening, fresh-making outfit like the Pit feels long overdue. The good news is, it sounds only slightly so.
FilterI can already sense the love-it-or-leave-it polarization for listeners over Michael Angelakos's dizzying falsetto range, but one thing's for sure--it's a match for the far-out music he's making. [Spring 2009, p.97]
Manners is deceptively consistent even beyond its singles--if you like one Passion Pit song, you'll probably like them all.
Refreshingly free of pretensions and convolutions it's full of well-written songs with melody and fun at its big heart.
Perhaps not as striking as it might have seemed 18 months ago, but still a debut album of distinction.
Euphoric, feelgood electro-pop of the indie rather than chart-topping persuasion, with the Massachusetts quartet's debut substituting lost-boy yearning for outright hedonism.
Thanks to the meticulous production values, the insane catchiness of the hooks, and the pure and true emotional underpinnings below all the gloss, the album is a total success of both sound and vision.
Refreshed and uplifted. Those are two things that the best pop records leave you feeling, and that's definitely the end result of listening to Manners, the debut album from Passion Pit.
Passion Pit's full-length debut proves he isn't fronting: It's a shiny bouquet of synth-pop roses, with perfumed Eighties keyboard whooshes and modern stutter beats crooking a finger toward the dance floor.
just so happens that Passion Pit has released a gorgeous pop album in time for the warm weather, and while Manners would make a perfect soundtrack to any summer, you'll want to keep the best cuts around for far longer.
It makes you want to dance, and it gets it hooks deep into, so much so that you might be humming the melodies to these songs mindlessly, before you even realize they're Passion Pit.
For all its glossy, soul-searching schmaltz, the band's full-length debut is a polished record full of consistently catchy hooks.
All I know for sure is that I've got two ears and a heart, and Manners sounds and feels pretty great.
Manners, the debut album from the Boston-based electro-pop outfit Passion Pit, is a charming combination of danceable synth grooves, falsetto shouts and infectious vocal hooks.
Under The RadarPassion Pit's inclusive sound isn't afraid to take chances, and like that proverbial teenager, they aren't afraid of being caught by their mom home sicks with the flu. [Summer 2009, p.68]
While the midtempo tunes often venture into cheesy '80s-pop territory, the album's dense sound rewards repeat listens.
There are times when the album feels strangely medicated; the positivity, when heaped upon the listener in brutal doses, makes you feel trapped in one of those American self-help groups.
Despite an opening volley that suggests Ghandi himself would have felt the urge to tell Passion Pit to stop being so bloody silly come the end, it finds a slightly more meaningful note surprisingly soon.
there are many who will find this record torrentially annoying....But to many others, Manners will be a welcome zephyr of optimism ushering away the angst of epidemics and impending environmental oblivion.
Poptimist Michael Angelakos tried to hold onto his girlfriend with Passion Pit's first EP. That didn't work (blame the self-obsessed lyrics), but on his band's debut full-length, their squeaky indie-pop theatrics are more convincing.
On the whole, Manners mostly evens out into a consistently listenable experience, the joy of one absurdly successful track spread out in variations and reformulations across the entirety of an album with inevitable dilution in the process.
MojoGone is the Fisher Price-redolent instrumentation and found--sounds, in their place something more measured and radio friendly. [Jun 2009, p.98]
Q MagazineAt times--'Little Secrets,' despite its kiddie choir, 'The Reeling' and 'Moth's Wings'--it's a little too cloneishly Jake Shears for comfort. At other, though, they soar with MGMT-esque widescreen vitality. [Jun 2009, p.130]
UncutManners is impressively slick and sparky but probably just a little too toothpaste fresh. [Jun 2009, p.93]
Manners attempts to synthesize Michael Angelakos' natural talent for dance music with more straightforward, heart-on-sleeve rock, but can't quite commit to either.
I could go song by song and come to the same conclusion with pretty much each one: the dedication to this carefree whimsy of youth ultimately stands as the most impressive thing about Passion Pit, and it wears thin quickly.

Tasteful and fun electronica, interwoven instrumental recordings, and highly entrancing falsetto vocals all go into making this a highly thematic and enjoyable album. It rarely offers a dull moment, keeping emotions and energy high, while still ignoring empty over-popped indie hits with interesting song structure and true substance that goes past normal expectations.

Hey guys,
Sorry for being a n00b, but I need help getting related posts to show up for a WP Page. Any ideas how? I added the "tags4page" plug-in with the hope that the "WP 2.3 Related POsts" plugin would detect the tag for that particular page and display the related blog posts. Instead, the entire WP 2.3 Related Posts plugin stopped displaying.
Any help here? Thx!

Photoassisted scanning tunneling microscopy91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1432113View Description Hide Description
The combination of scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) with optical excitation adds new information to STM. A review is presented covering the work done on light-induced effects in STM during the past 15 years. Effects discussed include thermal effects, nonlinear effects, field enhancement at the STM tip, various effects on semiconductor surfaces, excitation of surface plasmons, detection of photoelectrons, spin-polarized tunneling, as well as light-induced nanomodifications, local optical spectroscopy, the use of ultrashort laser pulses for time-resolvedSTM, and the combination of STM and scanning near-field optical microscopy.
Rare-earth doped polymers for planar optical amplifiers91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1454190View Description Hide Description
Optical waveguideamplifiers based on polymermaterials offer a low-cost alternative for inorganic waveguideamplifiers. Due to the fact that their refractive index is similar to that of standard optical fibers, they can be easily coupled to existing fibers with low coupling losses. Doping the polymer with rare-earth ions that yield optical gain is not straightforward, as the rare-earth salts are poorly soluble in the polymer matrix. This review article focuses on two different approaches to dope a polymer waveguide with rare-earth ions. The first approach is based on organic cage-like complexes that encapsulate the rare-earth ion and are designed to provide coordination sites to bind the rare-earth ion and to shield it from the surrounding matrix. These complexes also offer the possibility of attaching a highly absorbing antenna group, which increases the pump efficiency significantly. The second approach to fabricate rare-earth dopedpolymer waveguides is obtained by combining the excellent properties of as a host for rare-earth ions with the easy processing of polymers. This is done by dopingpolymers with Er-doped silica colloidal spheres.
Adhesive bonding in microelectronics and photonics91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1467950View Description Hide Description
The use of adhesive bonding in joining of materials with different characteristics is of major importance in a variety of microelectronic and photonic applications. The curing of such adhesives is also of great consequence, with the use of optical radiation for adhesive curing becoming the method of choice in various applications, especially bonding of components in microelectronics and fiber–optic assembly. This article reviews recent advances in the development of adhesives, their applications, and their curing methods using optical radiation; it also includes a brief overview of the adhesion mechanisms.
Transient enhanced diffusion of boron in Si91(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1471941View Description Hide Description
On annealing a boronimplanted Si sample at ∼800 °C, boron in the tail of the implanted profile diffuses very fast, faster than the normal thermal diffusion by a factor 100 or more. After annealing for a sufficiently long time, the enhanced diffusion saturates. The enhanced diffusion is temporary, on annealing the sample a second time after saturation, enhanced diffusion does not occur. It is therefore designated as transient enhanced diffusion (TED). The high concentration peak of the implantedboron profile, which is electrically inactive, does not diffuse. TED makes it difficult to fabricate modern Si based devices, in particular TED produces the parasitic barriers which degrade the performance of the SiGe heterostructurebipolar transistors and TED can limit the fabrication of shallow junctions required for sub-100 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor technology. The mechanisms of TED have been elucidated recently. A Si interstitial "kicks out" the substitutional boron atom to an interstitial position where it can diffuse easily. Alternatively the interstitials and boron atoms form highly mobile pairs. In both cases Si interstitials are required for the diffusion of boron. Therefore the enhanced boron diffusivity is proportional to the concentration of the excess Si interstitials. The interstitials are injected during implantation with Si or dopant ions. The interstitials are also injected during oxidation of the Si surface. Therefore the diffusivity increases temporarily in both cases. Even at relatively low annealing temperatures (∼800 °C) the mobility of the interstitials is high. The TED at this temperature lasts for more than 1 h. This large TED time can be explained by the presence of interstitial clusters and interstitial–boron clusters. The interstitial clusters are the {311} extended defects and dislocation loops. The precise structure of interstitial–boron clusters is not yet known though several models have been proposed. The clusters are the reservoirs of the interstitials. When the supersaturation of interstitials becomes low, the clusters dissolve and emit interstitials. The interstitials emitted from the clusters sustain the TED. Many groups have suggested that the rate of emission of interstitials is determined by Ostwald ripening of the clusters. However, recently TED evolution has also been explained without invoking Ostwald ripening of the {311} defects. The evidence of Ostwald ripening of dislocation loops is more direct. In this case the Ostwald ripening has been confirmed by the measurements of the size distributions of the dislocation loops at different times and temperatures of annealing. At higher temperatures the extended clusters are not stable and coupling between the interstitials and boron atoms is reduced. Therefore at high temperatures TED lasts only for a short time. At high temperatures the displacement during TED is also small. This suggests that if rapid thermal annealing with high ramp rates is used, TED should be suppressed. Currently high ramp rates, 300–400 °C/s are being tried to suppress TED.
Magnetization-step studies of antiferromagnetic clusters and single ions: Exchange, anisotropy, and statistics92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1507808View Description Hide Description
A magnetic cluster is a group of magnetic ions ("spins") that interact with each other but which, to a good approximation, do not interact with other magnetic ions. Such clusters are responsible for many of the interesting and useful properties of a large number of molecular crystals, and of dilute magnetic materials below the percolation concentration. In a molecular crystal the magnetic clusters are usually all of one type. In a dilute magnetic material, on the other hand, many cluster types are present. The magnetization-step (MST) method is a relatively new form of spectroscopy for measuring intracluster magnetic interactions, mainly exchange constants and anisotropy parameters. In dilute magnetic materials this method also yields the relative populations of different cluster types. This review focuses on the principles and applications of the MST method to relatively small clusters, no more than a dozen spins or so. It covers only MSTs from spin clusters in which the dominant exchange interaction is antiferromagnetic (AF), and MSTs from isolated magnetic ions. Such MSTs are the result of changes of the magnetic ground state, caused by energy-level crossings in a magnetic field At a sufficiently low temperature, each change of the ground state leads to a MST. Magnetic clusters may be classified by size. The smallest is a "single," consisting of one isolated magnetic ion. Next are "pairs" (dimers), followed by "triplets" (trimers), "quartets" (tetramers), etc. Although the classification by size is useful, clusters of the same size may have different intracluster interactions, and also different geometrical shapes. More detailed classifications of magnetic clusters are therefore also needed. A cluster "type" specifies both the size of the cluster and the set of all intracluster magnetic interactions which are nonzero. Different geometries of clusters of the same type correspond to different "configurations." MSTs from isolated spins (singles) are discussed first. When subjected to certain types of single-ion anisotropy, e.g., uniaxial hard-axis anisotropy, singles give rise to MSTs. Examples of anisotropy parameters which were determined from such MSTs are presented. An interesting application of MSTs from singles is the determination of the populations of Jahn–Teller distortions which are energetically equivalent at but are inequivalent at finite For clusters larger than singles, the strongest intracluster interaction is usually the isotropic exchange. Using a model with one isotropic exchange constant predictions for MSTs from pairs, open and closed triplets, and the six possible types of quartets, are presented. Observations of some of these MSTs, and the exchange constants derived from them, are discussed. Recent studies of MSTs from AF rings in molecular crystals are summarized. The remainder of the review is devoted to a detailed discussion of MSTs in dilute magnetic materials, exemplified by the dilute magnetic semiconductors(DMSs). The theory for MSTs in these materials is based on various cluster models (each specifying the exchange constants that are included), and on the assumption of a random distribution of the magnetic ions. The latter assumption is needed for calculations of the populations of various cluster types. The simplest cluster model includes only the largest isotropic exchange constant, usually between nearest neighbors (NNs). This model accounted for much of the early MST data in Mn-based II–VI DMSs. These early data yielded values of showed that the distribution of the Mn ions was random, and explained the difference between the apparent and true saturation values of the magnetization. Following these early successes the "pure" model was improved in several ways: (1) Some effects of the weaker exchange interactions with distant neighbors (DNs) were treated approximately. (2) Weak anisotropies, and the Dzyaloshinski–Moriya interaction, were added to the model. (3) A spread in the values of due to alloy disorder and/or a lower crystal symmetry, was included. (4) The possibility a nonrandom magnetic-ion distribution was considered, and methods of observing nonrandomness experimentally, and quantifying the degree of nonrandomness, were devised. (5) Cluster probabilities in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)- grown quantum structures, particularly near interfaces, were considered. Experimental data relating to each of these improvements of the model are presented. Very recent works focused on a direct determination, using MSTs, of the relatively small DN exchange constants. Most of these experiments on DNs required a magnetometer operating in a dilution refrigerator, near 20 mK. The data interpretations were based on cluster models with up to five exchange constants. These models involve hundreds of cluster types, even when clusters with more than four spins are excluded. Clusters with more than four spins were treated approximately. Elaborate computer programs for computing all cluster probabilities and energy levels were required. The results for the DN exchange constants in Mn-based II–VI DMSs disagree with all previous theoretical predictions. Specifically, the next-nearest-neighbor exchange constant is not the second-largest exchange constant. The distance dependence of the is material dependent, unlike the universal behavior predicted by all theories which considered this issue. The experimental results are partially explained by the Yu–Lee and Wei–Zunger theories, which include the directional dependence of the exchange interaction in addition to the distance dependence. The directional dependence leads to a reduction of Electronically accessible tables for cluster types and their probabilities are included as EPAPS. These tables are for all clusters with up to four spins, in both the fcc cation lattice and in the (ideal) hcp cation structure. For fcc the tables include 16 different cluster models with exchange interactions up to the fifth neighbor. For hcp, 64 cluster models with up to eight exchange constants (corresponding to interactions up to the fourth neighbor in fcc) are included. Tables for quintets in the special case of the NN model in fcc and hcp are also included.

A title is the right to ownership of real property (i.e. land). Prior to the development of the Torrens Title system for registering land interests the old English land law was difficult, time consuming and expensive.
To satisfy themselves that the vendor actually held the title to the land they were selling, under the old English system, a purchaser of land had to inspect all the written records of dealings relating to the land in question going back many years. In England the custom was to limit the search to 60 years, but in Australia the purchaser had to examine all documents in the 'chain of title' going back to the original Crown grant. This practice proved very difficult in the new colony of South Australia, particularly in a time when land speculation was rife with land changing ownership frequently.
Even with the most exhaustive and thorough of searches, under the old system, a purchaser still could not be guaranteed they had absolute certainty of title. For example, where a document was forged even the most exhaustive search could fail to detect this and the purchaser would not be protected when the forgery was discovered. In the same way, if a key document was lost then a person's claim to title would also be destroyed.
The Torrens Title system was created to provide certainty. The innovation of this system was to create a central register of land where all dealings with individual parcels of land are recorded. Title to land, either as the owner, mortgagor, mortgagee, lessor or lessee, is passed upon registration of a transfer, mortgage or lease and the State guarantees the correctness of the register. Each parcel of land is identified by a unique register book volume and folio, so when larger parcels are subdivided into a number of new titles, new volume and folios numbers are created to identify the land.
The Torrens title system is described as a system of title by registration, meaning that the fact of registration of an interest (such as a transfer or mortgage) creates an indefeasible interest in the parcel of land. There are exceptions to this principle, including fraud or forgery. Legal advice should be immediately be sought if an interest in land is created without the registered owner's authority.
Land can be held under a strata or community title, or it can be subject to a Crown Lease. A Crown lease means that the owner is the Crown, and the lessee (tenant) usually pays a nominal rental for effectively unlimited use of the land, but does not own it.
Another type of interest that is much less common is a moiety title or company title, which typically covered maisonettes or attached cottages, means that the person owns a share of the whole of the land and leases a defined portion of the land for himself or herself from the other owner or owners. Most of these types of title have been converted to strata title or more recently, community titles. Banks are very reluctant to lend on this type of title given the uncertainty of the type of holding.

Indiana GOP Drops Union Bill, but Democrats Stay Out of State
The speaker of Indiana's House of Representatives said he and Republican colleagues are dropping a controversial labor bill that caused Democratic representatives to flee to Illinois, but the Democrats said they're not returning to Indiana for now.
Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said the so-called right-to-work legislation is dead and will not be reintroduced during this session of the Indiana House. Democrats felt so strongly about that bill that they went to Urbana, Ill., Tuesday so that Republicans couldn't achieve a quorum to vote on the bill.
The legislation would allow workers at unionized companies to refrain from being part of the union and paying union dues. In the view of many corporations and the Republicans in the Indiana Legislature, this bill is a matter of personal freedom and a chance to boost jobs in the state. But in the view of the Democrats and many union leaders, it is an attack on the existence and financial clout of unions.
Republicans in the House of Representatives hold a 60-40 majority. But they cannot pass a bill without a quorum of two-thirds, or 67 representatives. By leaving, Democrats deprived them of the quorum and placed themselves out of the reach of Indiana state troopers who might otherwise physically retrieve them and bring them back to the House session.
John Schorg, a spokesman for the Democratic legislators, said that despite Mr. Bosma's statements, "Forgive us if we aren't trusting." Republican leaders, he said, had once promised not to introduce the labor bill before doing so.
Apart from the right-to-work bill, there are various other pieces of legislation – including one to use public tax money for private schools – that the Democrats strenuously object to.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

In 2003, the United States Patent Office awarded the Department of Health and Human Services patent #6,630,507, "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants." (In case you don't know, cannabis is another name for marijuana. AND in case you don't know, neuroprotection means protection for your your brain, where there are many neurons, your spine, where there are also many neurons, and other aspects of your nervous system.)
Here are some (layman-converted-for-laymen) excerpts from the abstract in the awarded patent:
Cannabinoids have antioxidant properties… [Antioxidants prevent cellular damage: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
This property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prevention of a wide variety of oxidation associated diseases: inflammation, age-related diseases, autoimmune diseases, and lack of blood-flow to the brain.
Cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following lack of blood-flow to the brain, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.
Too bad those researchers cannot talk with the DEA, FDA, or ONDCP! They are all living up to their hypocritical standard of proclaiming the dangers of drugs, while consuming their, much more dangerous, liquid drug, with impunity! Now, the government is sending mixed messages, themselves!
The left hand knows not what the right doeth! Why would the FDA claim no medicinal value, then another department in the government turns around and patents it?!? It is just plain insanity! It is an affront to all those people in prison, over cannabis prosecutions, too! It is obvious that one of these governmental departments is wrong! It is, also, not hard to figure out which group!
God did not prohibit alcohol The only prohibition he tried, failed. Was that because God know we would not be able to resist our human frailties?! Did he know that having "free will" meant we would fail at His only prohibition? Did He know that the fruit of the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" would be eaten?
Alcohol is not prohibited in the Bible. But, there are plenty of references as to the dangers of letting it control your life, and over-indulging. Why does man think he can prohibit something not prohibited by God? I guess it is arrogance, in thinking we are wiser than God. There are no references to drug prohibition, at all, that I have read. And, there are plenty of reasons to believe that konobos is related to the modern plant cannabis, referred to as an ingredient of old testament anointing oil!
I have been clean and sober for 23 years. I believe in the 12 step programs and abstaining if possible. I also happen to be a card holder and user of medical cannabis(pot, marijuana,leaf...)whatever name you put on it.
The plant has been proven to be NON - TOXIC, it is impossible to overdose on it and it works on my AID's related neuropathic pain. Compared to the harm to my body was going through on Pharma drugs like codeine to treat the pain ( it did not work well or I was dozy all the time and slept days away), Cannabis deals with the pain and I know I will not be harmed in any way. Once I get a medical vapourizer for the herb, will not even have to worry about smoking it. We have not even talked about eating it in foods or consuming it in the form of Rick Simpson's "Hemp oil". My doctor signed the papers so I am still considered "Clean"when it comes to the 12 step programs. I am a hemp advocate and user so I talk from direct experience.

The Ladies One for My Ladiez
posted by October 17 at 10:53 AMon
One of the coolest things about being a lady is that you get to be hella pretty. And one of the coolest things about being a gentleman is that, when you see a lady who is hella pretty, you get to tell her about your boner.
Such unsolicited boner information is the subject of newborn blog Let Me Holler at You.
For example, I fondly look back on the time when, at a Salsa club in Los Angeles, a gentleman with a handlebar mustache and a shiny purple suit called out to me: "You make a ole man cry!" Um, okay, I thought. Not a bad holler, if holler he must. He beckoned me closer and whispered, "You give me a hard-on!"
Or, while walking across a parking lot wearing a polka-dotted dress, I was the grateful recipient of this holler: "If she move those polka-dots any further away from me, I'mma be BOOBATIZED till mornin'!"
Or the time when my sister, innocently strolling the streets of San Francisco, passed a hobo lying in a doorway. "What's up with your pee-hole, baaaaaby?" asked the inquisitive hobo.
Dear Gentlemen:
Why must I know about the situation in your underpants? What the fuck is "boobatized"? What is up with my sister's pee-hole? AND WHY DO YOU JUST GET TO HOLLER WHATEVER YOU WANT IN A LADY'S FACE?
From Let Me Holler at You's mission statement:
Sometimes, as ladies, we are doing nothing more than minding our own business when a passing stranger will comment on the size of our asses, the voluptuousness of our boobz.
I invite you all to share with me your tales of woe, whether in regards to a dude leaning out of his car at you, a hobo peeking out from behind a dumpster at you, or even a stranger on a bike inquiring as to the whereabouts of your "man" when, in fact, your man is standing right next to you at the time.
Please submit all entries to: email@example.com. International submissions will be accepted!
So, ladies! Share your holler-related lady woes at Let Me Holler at You. So far, you can enjoy such submissions as "You don't gotta get up, I'm just taking a piss," and "There's gotta be a whole lotta pussy behind that ass!"
Do it for me. Do it for you. Do it for LADY JUSTICE!

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first believed to be confined to male homosexuals.1-4 Subsequently, the same syndrome has been seen among intravenous (IV) drug users,5 Haitians,6 hemophiliacs7,8 and other recipients of blood products, and, more recently, in female sexual partners of patients with AIDS.9 This ever broadening spectrum of AIDS victims has raised the possibility of a causative transmissible agent(s). The discovery of a condition similar to AIDS in infants and their mothers10,11 is probably the most important step in elucidating the dissemination of the disease to the heterosexual population.
Early in 1982, my colleagues and I described what we believed to be the first five infants with an AIDS-like disease.10 Since then, the number of cases rose to seven by July 1982,11 13 by January 1983,12 and 26 by July 1983. We identified these children in the Bronx, a borough of

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ For one championship captured by a University of Kansas team, jubilant fans did not spill into the streets of Lawrence in celebration.
Overshadowed by the lingering hoopla around the Kansas Jayhawks' NCAA basketball title was the championship won by KU's debate team.
The 16-member team has been No. 1 in the nation twice in the last three years. This year Kansas debaters collected 515 points, in front of second-place Emory University's 509 points and 481 for No. 3 Harvard.
The debate team may not have been honored with parades and rallies, but they received a standing ovation when KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway introduced them at last week's Kansas Board of Regents meeting.
The ranking comes from points won at the nation's two largest debate competitions and all other tournaments during the season.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Mary Fallin is expected to announce how much food was donated to help hungry Oklahomans as part of her annual food drive.
Fallin will join officials from the state's two largest food banks Thursday to release the results of her monthlong Feeding Oklahoma Food Drive.
The governor kicked off the drive Oct. 1 with a goal of collecting enough for 1.4 million meals to help feed hungry families in Oklahoma. Fallin made the food drive her inaugural event after her election in 2010.
Fallin set a goal of providing 1.2 million meals during last year's drive, and more than doubled that with 2.6 million meals provided.
She says Oklahoma consistently ranks among the top 10 hungriest states in the nation, with more than 675,000 residents facing hunger each day.

Russell Brand wants to walk down the aisle, again
Russell Brand, who divorced Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage, wants to get tie the knot again.
London: British comedian Russell Brand, who divorced Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage, wants to get tie the knot again.
He says his divorce hasn't put him off walking down the aisle. Instead, he would be willing to show his life-long commitment to another woman in the future.
"Divorce hasn't put me off marrying again. I liked marriage. Most of it was brilliant. You can't condemn an institution on one incident. You can't condemn the whole Catholic Church for a few dodgy priests!" femalefirst.co.uk quoted Brand as saying.
Before getting together with Perry in October 2010, Brand was a womaniser and says he was so obsessed with sleeping around (with women) that it took over his life.
"I was once so devoted to 'sh**ging' I would forget to eat. I prioritize other things now, like meditation and yoga. I spend more time meditating than having sex. Isn't that good?" he said.

City Birds Are Smarter Than Rural Birds
June 15th, 2016
On occasion of the European Day of Languages, which is today, the Multilingual Europe Technology Alliance Network (META-NET) has some bad news for at least 21 of 30 European languages: If the present situation continues, says Dr. Georg Rehm, a researcher at the network, 'these languages are doomed to digital extinction.'
The META-NET has launched the White Paper series "Europe's Languages in the Digital Age", which explore the digital support for all European languages. In this case, they have analyzed the language technology support for 30 languages, taking into account four different areas: automatic translation, speech interaction, text analysis and availability of language resources.
They found that four languages, that is, Maltese, Icelandic, Latvian and Lithuanian, had the weakest digital support, while English was the best positioned, considered to have "good support" (but not excellent). Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish had "moderate support", while others like Greek, Polish or Hungarian were among the high-risk languages.
