NCF On The Trail: Illinois Fighting Illini
These visits were crucial to help get some of those big targets to make final decisions, so here's a look at some of the best social posts from those recruiting visits.
The Nittany Lions had a ton of visitors on campus, mostly comprised of current commitments. Offensive line commit Steven Gonzalez took a picture with all the visitors and his future offensive line coach, Herb Hand.

The Penn State coaches did land a commitment from one of their visitors in defensive tackle Robert Windsor on Sunday morning. The staff had a few uncommitted prospects on hand, including defensive end Shareef Miller.

The Michigan staff was hoping this weekend would produce a few commitments, and it did just that. The Wolverines had six 2015 commitments prior to the weekend but ended up flipping former Texas quarterback commit Zach Gentry during the Michigan basketball game.
Excited about the future!

— Zach Gentry (@ZGentry_11) January 25, 2015
Gentry is an ESPN 300 prospect and the No. 9-ranked pocket passer in the 2015 class. He joins fellow quarterback commit Alex Malzone in Michigan's class and will help bolster much-needed competition at the position.
Florida defensive end Reuben Jones also committed to the Wolverines on his visit and happens to fill another need on the depth chart.

The Wolverines are still hoping the weekend produces a few more commitments from some of the visitors, including defensive back Chris Williamson.

Illinois had some big visitors on campus, including defensive tackle Jamal Milan and running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn. Both prospects would be huge additions to the class, so it was only the finest ice sculptures and cake that came out for the visitors.

— Nina (@ninabaloun) January 25, 2015
The Terps have been on a nice streak of landing commitments, and the coaches continued that this weekend by getting 2016 wide receiver D.J. Turner.

The Buckeyes had an excellent weekend for big visitors, as the visit weekend coincided with the national championship celebration. It gave the recruits a chance to see all the trophies Ohio State won this season while seeing what else the Buckeyes have to offer.
Danny Clark, a 2017 quarterback commit for Ohio State, was on campus doing some recruiting for his future team.
Sure would be cool if my boy @joshmyers58 commits tomorrow. #OhioboysRBuckeyes @OSUCoachMeyer pic.twitter.com/FP3zXCKk4b
— THE PROTOTYPE (@DClarkQB) January 24, 2015
The coaches were doing a ton of recruiting themselves, especially with the 2015 official visitors. Wide receiver K.J. Hill showed off the cookie cake he received on his visit.

— KMFJ (@KayJayHill) January 24, 2015
Since the 2015 class only has a few pieces left to fill, Ohio State also had a junior day of sorts with some of the top 2016 targets on campus. ESPN Junior 300 receiver Austin Mack stopped to take a selfie with the head man himself on the trip.

— Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) January 24, 2015
If you haven't noticed that cookie cakes and desserts are a common theme of recruiting, then here's another reminder. Hoosiers quarterback commit Austin King tweeted a picture of his cookie cake on his visit to Indiana.
They never disappoint==L #CrimsonArmy15 ª=4 pic.twitter.com/XH6HymyGyf
— Austin King (@austinking_10) January 23, 2015
The Badgers had a successful weekend of their own by landing two big commitments. The first was defensive tackle Kraig Howe from Ohio, who tweeted his announcement.
Proud to announce that I committed to the University of Wisconsin... On, Wisconsin!
— Kraig Howe (@KraigHowe) January 24, 2015
The second was 2015 running back Bradrick Shaw, who also took to Twitter to announce his decision.
I would also like to take the time to say that I am officially committed to the University of Wisconsin #OnWisconsin
— Bradrick Shaw (@bradricks27) January 25, 2015
Howe fills a need for the Badgers and Shaw gives Wisconsin three running back commits ranked as four-star prospects between the 2015 and 2016 classes. The Wisconsin staff is reloading at running back to continue the excellent tradition at the position.
The Spartans didn't have a ton of big-name visitors on campus this weekend, but the coaches were hosting a very important target for the 2015 class. ESPN 300 linebacker Quart'e Sapp took his visit to Michigan State and took to Twitter to show off his time on the trip.
With @DantonioMark himself 3MSU3 pic.twitter.com/lSsI48ivmB
— Quart'e Sapp (@Dedicated_2Work) January 24, 2015
Sapp would be a huge get for the Spartans, who find themselves in his top four along with Miami, Missouri and Tennessee.
Nebraska's new staff has hit a groove in recruiting and hosted a big visitor list this weekend, including plenty of the Cornhuskers' commitments. Offensive lineman Christian Gaylord shared a picture of some of the offensive linemen on the visit in uniform.

Linebacker Tyrin Ferguson also took to Twitter to show his time in Lincoln.
Good weekend with my family #GBR #NsUp pic.twitter.com/ACOn1BYZjM
— Tyrin Ferguson (@tferg__) January 25, 2015
The staff did also have a few targets on campus who were not committed to Nebraska, including Kansas State commit Mohammed Barry.
Nebraska was also hosting a few commitments it is trying to hang onto and convince to stay on board come signing day. That included defensive lineman Daishon Neal, who became that much more important with the decommitment of Reuben Jones.

— DJ (@DaishonNeal90) January 24, 2015
Here is a look at the visits from the eyes of the recruits:
It wouldn't be a visit weekend without cookie cakes, so to kick this post off properly, Northwestern commit Simba Short shared his cookie cake spread while on his visit to see the Wildcats.
#NUOfficial this was cool pic.twitter.com/zClbmrSDQ3
— Simba Short (@simbashort) January 16, 2015
Cookie cakes are the way to any recruit's commitment.
Michigan State doesn't have much to fill in the 2015 class, but linebacker Anthony McKee is one prospect the coaches would still like to land. McKee took a visit to see the Spartans this weekend and is slated to make it out to Wisconsin and Minnesota as well.
If you put in the work, the results will come
#D1LifeStyle #MSU =% pic.twitter.com/O2Hd0O6v68
— Anthony McKee Jr (@_xHeSuperSoLo) January 17, 2015
Maryland only had a few official visitors on campus in commit Adam McLean and Oseh Saine, who committed on his visit this weekend.
My new home in bout 2 weeks pic.twitter.com/3H0xoCbvMQ
— Os3h $ain3 (@Oseh11) January 16, 2015
Offensive lineman Quarvez Boulware also committed to Maryland this weekend, but he came up on an unofficial visit.
McLean took to Twitter to show off the entertainment side of his visit at a restaurant.
TERPNATION BABY HAVING A BALL #BEATMSU https://t.co/1lWzLEftqB
— *Next Level* (@MoneyMakeinAdam) January 18, 2015
While the Terps gained the most from their visit weekend, there is no denying Michigan had the biggest prospects on campus.
The Wolverines hosted ESPN 300 prospects Roquan Smith and Chris Clark as well as South Carolina commit Damon Arnette and defensive end Shelton Johnson.
Smith is the No. 29-ranked prospect in the country and became immediately interested when Michigan hired defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin. The Wolverines vaulted into his top list, and Smith set up this visit to see what Michigan has to offer.
#ESPN300 LB Roquan Smith @RoquanSmith1 on his Michigan visit pic.twitter.com/nNlEEgaPHq
— Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) January 17, 2015
Smith will decide on signing day, and as of right now Michigan will be on his short list for that decision.
The Wolverines are also on the short list for Clark, who was committed at one point. He has UCLA and Michigan in his top two and still has a visit to see the Bruins next weekend before deciding.
#ESPN300 TE Chris Clark @Clark8Chris on his Michigan visit pic.twitter.com/uJEVpvTyO4
— Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) January 17, 2015
The two uncommitted prospects were joined on the visit by a few Michigan commitments, including safety Tyree Kinnel.
@CoachJim4UM we are going to attack this day with enthusiasm unknown to mankind #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/7w8RYBgEZH
— Tyree Kinnel (@Tkinnel_2) January 17, 2015
The visit was just as important for Kinnel as the uncommitted prospects because Kinnel got a chance to help recruit, but he also got the opportunity to build a relationship with the new coaching staff in person.
Penn State's big visit weekend won't be until next weekend, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an exciting weekend for the Nittany Lions. Coach James Franklin posed with Flavor Flav at Penn State's basketball game. Flav later tweeted he has a cousin on Penn State's basketball team.
@FlavorFlav pic.twitter.com/FwLtkIUJh4
— James Franklin (@coachjfranklin) January 17, 2015
Illinois had a good opportunity to get a few 2016 prospects on campus as it waits for a few big 2015 visitors next weekend. Offensive lineman Nik Urban made the trip and tweeted he was too small for his car, a problem most offensive linemen likely have.
On the way to Champaign!! Pretty excited for this visit!! #FightingIllini
— Nik Urban (@nikurbs73) January 17, 2015
Im too big for this car...
— Nik Urban (@nikurbs73) January 17, 2015
Iowa also hosted a 2016 target in running back Toren Young, who took to Twitter to express his feelings on the visit.
Had a great time at the Iowa game #GoHawks pic.twitter.com/N4FxEFLTkC
— Toren Young2ã8ã (@Toren28Young) January 17, 2015
Minnesota still has a few big 2015 targets left in this class, and one was on campus this weekend in defensive tackle Jamal Milan. Milan still has a visit to Illinois on Jan. 23 and will make his decision on signing day between the Gophers, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa State.

Juco recruits to watch: Big Ten
Junior college prospects can be an excellent way for programs to fix immediate roster needs. Because the players already have experience outside of college, they typically come to campus well prepared to hit the field early.
RecruitingNation has put together the Juco Watch List for 2015 and there are a few Big Ten targets within the list.
With plenty of holes still out there to fill, Big Ten coaches are hoping to reel in some of these big targets. Below are just a few of the most important JUCO prospects within the conference.

Another Bosa on the rise in Florida
Now there is another budding star at the high school that produced three 2014 NFL draft picks, and the last name remains the same.
Class of 2016 defensive lineman Nick Bosa has been a standout the past two years for the Raiders, and like many who have come before him at the talent-rich school, he will be a national recruit with a quickly growing offer list.

States of strength: Florida athletes
The state of Florida has always been known for producing some of the top athletes in the country. The term "athlete" is sometimes looked at as a negative term, but it really means our scouts believe these talented prospects could play more than one position in college. Here is a closer look at some of the top athletes from the Sunshine State in the 2015 class.
ESPN 300 athletes from Florida
No. 8 Torrance Gibson: Gibson is a skilled athlete who can make plays on offense. The five-star athlete led his high school, Plantation American Heritage, to the state championship game. In the game, he had a touchdown run of 80 yards and also a long touchdown pass that was among the "SportsCenter" Top 10 plays. He wants to play quarterback on the next level, but he's the most talented wide receiver on his South Florida Express 7-on-7 team. Whatever position he chooses, Gibson has a bright future ahead of him.

In my testing, I found that when i send packets of bytes 1000-5000 bytes from my sender, they get assembled/bundled at receiver with sizes 8000-14000 bytes. I checked the wireshark capture to confirm this.
I have 2 questions: 1) Who bundles these packets in between, receiver receives these and I use select() to detect data and call recvmsg api ?.
2) When packets of lengths increase at receiver, I implemented partial reception so that 'recvmsg' returns partial data also. In this case after some time, recvmsg call returns EAGAIN with 0 bytes. The connection with peer is still up, because peer is still sending packets, why is recvmsg call returing error with EAGAIN ?.
Please help !

a pretty good game,i think...i got bored after a while...but it has great gameplay...avoiding obstacles,jumping etc.
Wow. This game sucks.
i'll try make a better one next time.
Interesting Idea putting the numbers at the end of the levels, but it was a bit disappointing that the only thing you get for putting in the code is "You Win!". It just adds a tedious action of copying down the numbers with no rewarding payoff. I suppose the game was supposed to boring though... :P
The animation on the stickman wasn't incredible but it was still nice and some of the levels provided minor challenges of interest. Over all, not bad. 3/5
thanks. i'll try to come out with better ending next time.

Intelligent Control considers non-traditional modelling and control approaches to nonlinear systems. Fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computing techniques are the main tools used. The book presents a modular switching fuzzy logic controller where a PD-type fuzzy controller is executed first followed by a PI-type fuzzy controller thus improving the performance of the controller compared with a PID-type fuzzy controller. The advantage of the switching-type fuzzy controller is that it uses one rule-base thus minimises the rule-base during execution. A single rule-base is developed by merging the membership functions for change of error of the PD-type controller and sum of error of the PI-type controller. Membership functions are then optimized using evolutionary algorithms. Since the two fuzzy controllers were executed in series, necessary further tuning of the differential and integral scaling factors of the controller is then performed. Neural-network-based tuning for the scaling parameters of the fuzzy controller is then described and finally an evolutionary algorithm is applied to the neurally-tuned-fuzzy controller in which the sigmoidal function shape of the neural network is determined.
The important issue of stability is addressed and the text demonstrates empirically that the developed controller was stable within the operating range. The text concludes with ideas for future research to show the reader the potential for further study in this area.
Intelligent Control will be of interest to researchers from engineering and computer science backgrounds working in the intelligent and adaptive control.

Human Torch
The Human Torch is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a founding member of the Fantastic Four.

Biden switches from plane to train as sequester kicks in
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
It's only fitting that problems caused by run amok spending over the years are causing Joe Biden to ditch Air Force Two (aka "Gaffe Force One") and instead use the Amtrak train station named after him that was paid for with stimulus funds and came in way over budget.
From New York Post:
Dreaded federal spending cuts are due to start today, and one of the first to feel the pinch is Vice President Joe Biden.
Air Force Two, the luxury military jet that costs about $180,000 per hour to ferry Biden around, has been grounded for his weekend trips home to Delaware.
Biden insisted that it was his idea, and that he's happy to get back on Amtrak.
He famously commuted by train throughout his long Senate career. He blamed the Secret Service for making him fly.
"I was able to say, 'Look, guys, I've got to take the train now — it's cheaper than flying,'" Biden said in a speech delivered to the National Association of Attorneys General.
Now I'm really confused, because this entirely contradicts Biden's "we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt" theory.

Islamic leaders in the Gaza Strip called on Friday for militants to kidnap Israelis and use them as bargaining chips to secure the freedom of thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.Human rights groups say up to 2,000 prisoners have joined an open-ended hunger strike to protest against jail conditions and thousands of Palestinians staged a rally in the Gaza Strip to support their cause."We should work hard to get (Israeli) prisoners in our hands in order to secure the freedom of our prisoners," Khaled Al-Batsh, a senior member of the Islamic Jihad, told the crowd."I say to all armed factions, the way to free the prisoners is through swaps ... An arrest for an arrest, and freedom for freedom. This is the way," he said.Israel last year freed some 1,000 Palestinians in return for the release of Gilad Schalit, a soldier seized in 2006 and held by the Islamist group Hamas in secret captivity for five years.Human Rights groups say at least 4,700 Palestinians remain in Israeli jails, many of them convicted for violent crimes. Palestinian leaders say they should be treated as prisoners of war, something Israel rejects.Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader in Gaza, said Palestinian militant factions would "never abandon" the prisoners."The swap deal was a message to the (Israeli) occupation that the resistance and the Palestinian people will pursue every difficult avenue to break the chains of these heroes," he said."We are in a battle for the prisoners, and we will either win, or we will win," he added.Friday's rally saw participants waving both the green and black flags of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad - a sign of growing ties between the two groups, which share the same Islamist ideology and advocate the destruction of the state of Israel.Prisoners are seen as heroes in their communities and the mass hunger strike is putting pressure on the leadership to respond. Israel struck deals with two prisoners earlier this year to end their hunger strikes, but is resisting demands for further concessions.At least two prisoners have been refusing food for more than eight weeks. A mass hunger strike by at least 1,200 was launched on April 17 and the Addameer prisoners' association has said a further 800 have since joined the movement.

Remix album by Talk Talk | ||||
Released | 2 August 1999 (12x12 Original Remixes) 16 April 2001 (Remixed) |
Recorded | 1981-1988 | |||
Genre | Synthpop, new wave, experimental rock | |||

Label | EMI | |||
Talk Talk chronology | ||||
12x12 Original Remixes is a remix album by Talk Talk released initially in 1999 and again in 2001 with a new cover and artwork as Remixed.
It is the band's third remix album, following It's My Mix from 1985 and the controversial History Revisited from 1991. The album cover is a collage of various images associated with the band's previous albums. It features the same style Talk Talk logo as on History Revisited, the hanging goose from Asides Besides, the butterfly "face" from The Colour of Spring, the canary from The Very Best of Talk Talk, the tree of birds from Spirit of Eden, as well as numerous other animal related images. Remixed, the 2001 edition, features more simple artwork of blue and orange circles on the cover.
As with all of the band's EMI compilations until 2013, neither version of the album was not a band sanctioned release.
Despite there being controversy that Remixed was essentially the same album as 12x12 Original Remixes, both albums actually contain the same songs as on CD1 of Asides Besides.
Allmusic described the cover as "ugly collage work".[1] Allmusic gave the album , saying that, despite the content being good, "you'd be better off shelling out the extra cash for Asides Besides. You'd be getting everything this disc offers, in addition to its second disc of demos and excellent B-sides.[1]

Would you shop at a Menards built in Lawrence?
Asked at Dillons, 1740 Massachusetts St. on February 20, 2013
" Yes. I don't see a reason not to. It wouldn't be my first choice, however. I try to shop local first."
" Yes. You have to shop where there's competition. Everything you buy comes from China anyway, though I prefer to buy American."
" I don't know. But I truly think they'd get a lot of business. "
" I never have shopped at Menards but probably will just once to check it out."
Bill Lee 1 year, 11 months ago
I'm not familiar with Menards so I don't know. Location in town would probably be a factor.
Mike Edson 1 year, 11 months ago
No. I will continue to shop at the local hardware stores and Home Depot for wood supplies.
repaste 1 year, 11 months ago
A lot of good info out there on Menards. The EPA has some input. I thought they weren't coming because Obama was re-elected?
Norm Jennings 1 year, 11 months ago
not familiar with the store either, the ads from the Topeka store do not look particularly enticing, but I agree that Home Depot lumber often leaves a lot to be desired.
ThePilgrim 1 year, 11 months ago
I would shop there if it was at 6th and Wakarusa, next to Wal-Mart. Where it should be! Why put it next to Home Depot? As for wood supplies - Menards has a real lumber yard that you drive into. You don't have to haul the wood through the store yourself like at Home Depot. Menards could kill Home Depot here in Lawrence if put next to it. But as others have said, that seems a waste.
ThePilgrim 1 year, 11 months ago
Besides - what local hardware stores do we have? Ace is not local either, if you factor in real ownership.

Posted January 31, 2014
I started reading this book because my job requires that I review firewalls for their secure configuration – about 5 firewalls a year. And my ignorance showed! I have a background in Routers and Switches, but Cisco PIX and ASAs were devices on which I was never trained. This book gave me the understanding that I need when reviewing firewall configurations, i.e., what all the different lines mean and how to determine which interface is configured with which level of security. If you see a firewall configuration, you will know that though some things look similar to router configurations, many things are quite different.
Another added benefit of reading this book is the HUGE explanation of NAT and PAT configuration. There is an entire chapter (very large and in-depth) devoted to address translation complexity and how to configure it. If you require knowledge in this area, this book is for you!
Though there are many things covered in this book, I cannot express how well access lists, traffic filtering, traffic shaping, threat detection are explained. If you need a book to give you in-depth explanations, again, this book is for you.
Though I found a few errors throughout the book, most of them were typographical errors (very few errors in the figures.) A tech-savvy administrator should be able to easily see the errors and overcome any issues. I have reviewed several Cisco Press books and this book is in-depth, well written and worth it for any network administrator responsible for configuring ASA firewalls.
Another massive and impressive offering from Cisco Press. This one focuses on explaining firewalls, with of course an emphasis on Cisco's implementations. This can be seen throughout the book. Take for instance chapter 5, which is about managing a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA). It really is only meaningful to read if you already have used one of thes ASA devices. Ideally, you might be sitting at the device and are controlling it while reading the chapter. Generically, across all such ASA devices, the chapter functions as a good summary of common features. Quite possibly even, you may be able to use the chapter as sufficient documentation to administer a given ASA.
One characteristic of many [all?] firewalls is the ability to do Network Address Translation [NAT]. This conserves the address space in the full Internet, while also providing valuable obfuscation of your subnet's machines from intruders. Granted, when everyone moves to IPv6, the address conservation becomes moot. But IPv4 is still very much dominant, and will be so for the next few years. Chapter 7 gives a nice detailed explanation of NAT. While it does use Cisco ASA devices, much of the chapter can in fact be read as quite general advice. But you also see that Cisco has tremendously built out an array of administrative options that give you fine grained control, like having Dynamic Inside NAT or Static Inside NAT.
Later chapters delve into topics like how to do detailed inspection of traffic flows and the use of policies to control these flows. As with address translation, Cisco has poured resources into giving many administrative options.
The book's structure of each chapter having a preview quiz at the start will be handy for some readers in a hurry. You can quickly ascertain if you need to read a chapter or can safely skip it.

Are you a network administrator, network security administrator, network architect or an experienced network professional who is interested in applying security principles to your networks? If you are, then this book is for you! Authors David Hucaby, Dave Garneau and Anthony Sequeira, have done an outstanding job of writing book that helps you prepare for the Cisco FIREWALL 642-618 certification exam. Hucaby, Garneau and Sequeira, begin by discussing basic network security and traffic filtering strategies. Then, the authors review the basic methods that are used to interact with an ASA, and to control its basic operation. The authors also explain how to configure ASA interfaces with the parameters they need to operate on a network. They continue by covering the ASA features related to providing IP addressing through DHCP and to exchanging IP routing information through several different dynamic routing protocols. Next, the authors review the configuration commands and tools that can be used to manage and control an ASA, both locally and remotely. Then, they describe how to configure an ASA to generate logging information that can be collected and analyzed. The authors also describe how IP addresses can be altered or translated as packets move through an ASA. They continue by reviewing access control lists and host shunning, and how these features can be configured to control traffic movement through an ASA. Next, the authors cover the Modular Policy Framework, a method used to define and implement many types of traffic inspection policies. Then, they discuss the features that can be leveraged to control the authentication, authorization, and accounting of users as they pass through an ASA. The authors also cover the methods and features that can be used to handle fragmented traffic, to prioritize traffic for QoS to police traffic rates, and to shape traffic bandwidth. They continue by reviewing the transparent firewall mode, and how it can be used to make an ASA more stealthy, when introduced into a network. Next, the authors discuss the multiple context mode that can be used to allow a single physical ASA device to provide multiple virtual firewalls or security contexts. Then, they cover two strategies that can be used to implement high availability between a pair of ASAs. The authors also explain the basic steps needed to configure an ASA to work with the AIP and CSC Security Services Modules, which can be used to offload in-depth intrusion protection and content handling. They continue by discussing two troubleshooting tools that you can use to test and confirm packet movement through ASA. Finally, they list the exam preparation tools that are useful in the study process and provide a suggested study plan. The goal of this most excellent book is to provide the most comprehensive coverage to ensure that you are well prepared for the exam. Perhaps more importantly, this great book can be used as a static reference, whereas the exam topics are dynamic.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

ABSTRACT: A search is presented for dark matter pair production in association with a W or Z boson in pp collisions representing 20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity at s=8 TeV using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with a hadronic jet with the jet mass consistent with a W or Z boson, and with large missing transverse momentum are analyzed. The data are consistent with the standard model expectations. Limits are set on the mass scale in effective field theories that describe the interaction of dark matter and standard model particles, and on the cross section of Higgs production and decay to invisible particles. In addition, cross section limits on the anomalous production of W or Z bosons with large missing transverse momentum are set in two fiducial regions.Physical Review Letters 01/2014; 112(4):041802. · 7.73 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This Letter presents measurements of the polarization of the top quark in top-antitop quark pair events, using 4.7 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at sqrt[s]=7 TeV. Final states containing one or two isolated leptons (electrons or muons) and jets are considered. Two measurements of α_{ℓ}P, the product of the leptonic spin-analyzing power and the top quark polarization, are performed assuming that the polarization is introduced by either a CP conserving or a maximally CP violating production process. The measurements obtained, α_{ℓ}P_{CPC}=-0.035±0.014(stat)±0.037(syst) and α_{ℓ}P_{CPV}=0.020±0.016(stat)_{-0.017}^{+0.013}(syst), are in good agreement with the standard model prediction of negligible top quark polarization.Physical Review Letters 12/2013; 111(23):232002. · 7.73 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A search is made for massive long-lived highly ionising particles with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using 3.1 pb-1 of pp collision data taken at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The signature of energy loss in the ATLAS inner detector and electromagnetic calorimeter is used. No such particles are found and limits on the production cross section for electric charges 6e <= |q| <= 17e and masses 200 GeV <= m <= 1000 GeV are set in the range 1-12 pb for different hypotheses on the production mechanism.12/2013; - Physics Letters B. 06/2013; 723(s 1–3):15–32.

ABSTRACT: Two-particle correlations in relative azimuthal angle (Δϕ) and pseudorapidity (Δη) are measured in sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed using approximately 1 μb^{-1} of data as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) and the transverse energy (ΣE_{T}^{Pb}) summed over 3.1<η<4.9 in the direction of the Pb beam. The correlation function, constructed from charged particles, exhibits a long-range (2<|Δη|<5) "near-side" (Δϕ∼0) correlation that grows rapidly with increasing ΣE_{T}^{Pb}. A long-range "away-side" (Δϕ∼π) correlation, obtained by subtracting the expected contributions from recoiling dijets and other sources estimated using events with small ΣE_{T}^{Pb}, is found to match the near-side correlation in magnitude, shape (in Δη and Δϕ) and ΣE_{T}^{Pb} dependence. The resultant Δϕ correlation is approximately symmetric about π/2, and is consistent with a dominant cos2Δϕ modulation for all ΣE_{T}^{Pb} ranges and particle p_{T}.Physical Review Letters 05/2013; 110(18):182302. · 7.73 Impact Factor - Physics Letters B. 04/2013; 721(s 4–5):171–189.

ABSTRACT: The ATLAS experiment has observed 1995 Z boson candidates in data corresponding to 0.15 nb^{-1} of integrated luminosity obtained in the 2011 LHC Pb+Pb run at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. The Z bosons are reconstructed via dielectron and dimuon decay channels, with a background contamination of less than 3%. Results from the two channels are consistent and are combined. Within the statistical and systematic uncertainties, the per-event Z boson yield is proportional to the number of binary collisions estimated by the Glauber model. The elliptic anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution of the Z boson with respect to the event plane is found to be consistent with zero.Physical Review Letters 01/2013; 110(2):022301. · 7.73 Impact Factor - Physics Letters B. 01/2013; 718(3):879–901.

ABSTRACT: Results of a search for new phenomena in events with an energetic photon and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV are reported. Data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb^{-1} are used. Good agreement is observed between the data and the standard model predictions. The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with large extra spatial dimensions and on pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates.Physical Review Letters 01/2013; 110(1):011802. · 7.73 Impact Factor

"Chasing Comets in my Garage" song by REASONER
I started a year and a half ago on Comet when Reasoner was looking for a music video to be created for a song from his album. Being a huge fan of his work, I was excited to help out. It ended up more ambitious than I imagined and eventualy I teamed up with Jazza. I'm hugely thankful to him for making this project possible at the quality I was aiming for.
Merry Christmas!
That was truly a touching work of art my friend. I smiled watching the whole thing. Very awesome!
Super Cool
Loved the whole christmas dream thing. It was totally an epic journey. Good animation!
That is the purest way to describe this. Back when we were all kids our imaginations ran wild, and it was pure... pure awesomeness. Free spirited fantasy. This reminded me of that.
I loved this.

Convicted, But Free, in Armenia
A Duke University doctoral student was freed Tuesday, after an Armenian court found him guilty of illegally trying to take books out of the country but suspended his two-year prison sentence.
Yektan Turkyilmaz had been held since June 17, when authorities at Yerevan Airport in Armenia yanked him off an airplane as he prepared to leave the country. They seized about 100 books that he had bought at secondhand stores and compact disks that contained notes from research he had done in the Armenian National Archives, for his dissertation on the Ottoman empire's reign of terror in Armenia in the early 20th century. Turkyilmaz, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in cultural anthropology at Duke, had been the first Turkish citizen to request and receive access to the archives.
