5 Very Addictive!!Stifflerr | 15/11/2012 | See all Stifflerr's reviews (69)Ok everyone is gonna compare this to the ps3 version and my personal thoughts are i find this game very addictive. Graphics are very impressive and smooth.The controls are easy to get to grips with this is how cod should be played in my opinion just like the ps3 version apart from you use the touchscreen to throw the grenades or smoke bombs now ive not looked in the settings to see if this can be changed but to be honest i prefer it this way its easy to master and you can start to enjoy playing this game on the go wherever you are. Also the screen is big enough to see your soldiers and to see your enemy i got to admit i were slightly worried that the screen would be a bit too small for this type of game i was wrong overall this game deserves a 10/10 a must buy for any cod fans or 1st person shoot em ups
1 Complete and utter garbage!!RivieraPhantom | 15/11/2012 | See all RivieraPhantom's reviews (2)Rented this from Blockbuster Wednesday. The single player was around 1 hour long, but the game itself was hard to control, they felt stiff and touch controls were bad. Game itself was very boring, missions were lackluster and dull. Graphics looked decent for Vita but that's about it.MP was fun for about 20 mins, then all the disconnection, errors and lag started to happen, bugs and glitches too. Got stuck in several areas in both MP and SP.This game is just horrible. Do not Buy this trash. lets wait for these developers to make something a lot better on Vita.
5 COD - PS VitaPennyMixFilms | 03/12/2012 | See all PennyMixFilms's reviews (2)A lot of fun online. A great portable version of the Call Of Duty series. Any issues online in the first few days seem to have gone now, I've had no problems getting into online matches recently. Not played the single player mode much, but highly recommend this for online matches. Control method works great too, first time I've ever played a decent fps on a handheld and felt in control of the action.
5 COD AlmightyTaekwondoninja | 24/11/2012 | See all Taekwondoninja's reviews (1)Overall this game is fantastic. Graphics are great and use of touchscreen is well used. I have experienced very little faults with multiplayer,which runs quikly with no lag. Yeah the campaign isn't the longest but taken me well over an hour and dont have the three stars yet. And with the additional game modes there is plenty to keep you occupied. I had read plenty bad reviews prior to buying,so my expectations weren't very high,im far from disappointed. Your best making your own mind up. In my opinion well worth the 35pounds I payed.
5 Cod on the gobrightchild0 | 23/11/2012 | See all brightchild0's reviews (12)Brilliant game. Am I playing it on the ps3 or ps vita?????That's the point, I can play the biggest franchise on the go.People should be embracing this game, because if we don't. We may have to put up with cheap games on mobiles. Cutting edge hardware with software just starting to unlock the power of ps vita.Graphic's 8.5Gameplay 9Online 9.5Multiplayer 9.5Overall 9.25

A birthmark is a skin marking that is present at birth. Birthmarks include cafe-au-lait spots, moles, and mongolian spots. Birthmarks can also be red.
Nevus sebaceous; Hairy nevus; Nevi; Mole; Cafe-au-lait spots; Congenital nevus
Cafe-au-lait spots may occur in people with the genetic disorder, neurofibromatosis .
Nearly everyone has moles, which usually appear after birth.
Mongolian spots are more common in people with darker skin.
Each type of birthmark has its own appearance:
Other symptoms of birthmarks:
The doctor will examine your skin to make the diagnosis. You may have a biopsy to look for skin changes that are signs of cancer. The doctor may take pictures of the birthmark to compare changes over time.
The type of treatment you have depends on the type of birthmark and related conditions. Usually no treatment is needed for the birthmark itself.
Large birthmarks that affect your appearance and self-esteem may be covered with special cosmetics.
You may have surgery to remove moles if they they affect your appearance or have an increased cancer risk. Talk to your doctor how and when to remove any moles.
Nevus Outreach is a support group for people with large birthmarks called nevi.
Large moles that are present at birth (congenital nevi) are more likely to become skin cancer (malignant melanoma). This is especially true if the mole covers an area larger than the size of a fist. The cancer risk is related to the size, location, shape, and color of the mole.
Mongolian spots may persist for months or years. They do NOT become cancer or develop other symptoms.
Have a health care provider examine any birthmark. Report changes in the birthmark to your health care provider, including:
There is no known way to prevent birthmarks. A person with birthmarks should use a strong sunscreen when outdoors (to prevent complications).

March 25, 2010 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – In an introduction that redefines the category of affordable and high-quality power amplifiers, Crown today announced the next generation line of XLS Series amplifiers, providing a new benchmark for amplifiers in the MI category. The new line – consisting of four models and offering an unprecedented level of performance and configuration flexibility will usher in a new era of power amplification at the entry level.
The XLS series amplifiers implement a flexible PureBand™ Crossover System. A user can select crossover points from 50 Hz to 3 kHz, allowing for precise matching of specified crossover points on most bi-amplified loud speakers. Increased Control is also highlighted by the three selectable channel modes and clip limiters designed to protect loudspeakers that can be turned on and off by channel.
PeakX™ limiters allow higher output levels than conventional analog limiting while providing assured driver protection, and deploy algorithms derived from the extensive research and development of the OmniDrive HD loudspeaker processing in Crown's flagship I-Tech HD Series.
In another major advance, the new XLS series amplifiers feature Integrated DriveCore™ Technology Regardless of AC Line sag or distortion due to other equipment such as backline or lighting gear, the user will consistently have the highest level of performance as though there is a power conditioner built directly into the amplifier. It also provides fast recovery on peaks, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low-frequencies at high power levels for maximum subwoofer output.
Further simplifying ease of use, an intuitive front panel work surface with LCD display provides fast and easy menu-based system setup and full amplifier diagnostics.
"We designed the XLS series amplifier from the ground-up to be a category-defining amplifier. We are bringing features and technology to a price point that no one else is close to offering. We set out to provide users with an amplifier that would reset the standard for power, performance, flexibility and value. Quite simply, this amplifier is a game changer," added Flint.
The new XLS Series amplifiers are housed in a new premium industrial design chassis, featuring a cast front panel for durability. They also feature integrated rack handles and weigh under 11lbs making the XLS Series the ultimate portable amplifier.
XLS Series amplifiers conform to Harman Professional's Green Edge™ environmental initiative. Crown's new advanced circuit components use fewer resources in manufacturing, but have also contributed to significant weight reduction in the amplifiers that result in less energy consumption. The XLS amplifier's high operating efficiency translates into greater efficiency for each watt of output and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com). Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide.

Harman HiQnet no longer requires the user to manage multiple disparate operating systems or be responsible for programming individual signal processors, speaker controllers, wireless microphone systems, and mixing consoles. HiQnet was developed by engineers from across the Harman Pro Group and is coordinated by the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG), a team of dedicated systems specialists based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Secondly, demonizing the NRA is silly. The NRA is the only organization that I am aware of that stands for protecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights by defending firearms ownership. A very good argument can be made that the 2nd Amendment is the only thing standing between a tyrannical Government and the people. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just words on paper. The 2nd Amendment, a gun in the hands of the American citizen, back up those words and have done for more than 200 years.
And Mr. Briggs, you can't walk into a Wal-Mart and buy a rocket-propelled grenade. Wal-Mart doesn't sell them. And calling a firearm a "hand-held weapon of mass destruction" is ridiculous.

To add insult to injury, I purchased, read and recommended two of Lance's "nonfiction" books. I even bought a "Live-Strong" T-shirt and frequently replaced my yellow "Live-Strong" bracelets. I'm not that disappointed about the latter two since the proceeds supposedly went to Lance's worthwhile foundation. As for the books, I'd be happy to join a class-action suit to receive a refund from Lance's personal empire and donate it to the Special Olympics. |

On this route between Donaueschingen and Contrexéville, nature's palette ranges through every shade of green – from the forests of the Vosges and the Black Forest mountains, through the foothill areas and down to the Rhine valley. There are many exceptional cultural and historical sites to discover as well. The 'ribbon of friendship' route is perfect for cyclists and walkers but it also has plenty to tempt gourmets: the rustic pleasures of a ferme auberge (farm inn), wine growers' inns selling home-grown Baden wine, regional specialities and numerous award-winning restaurants, not forgetting the excellent vintages from the sun-blessed Upper Rhine wine-growing region. At Titisee-Neustadt you can enjoy the crystal-clear waters of Lake Titisee, after which the route leads to Hinterzarten, through 'hell valley' and to Kirchzarten, the centre of the Dreisam valley. Next stop on the route is Freiburg with its picturesque old quarter, charming Bächle und Gässle (little streams and alleyways) and a Gothic minster. We then continue through the Tuniberg region, known for its wine and sekt producers, to Breisach, which holds the honorary title of 'Europe town'. After crossing the Rhine, the route reaches Neuf-Brisach, the 'town of Sun King Louis XIV'. Here the star-shaped fortress complex built at the turn of the 17th/18th century is still very well preserved. The best way to appreciate the numerous highlights along the Route Verte/Green Route is to come and see them for yourself.

"That Chato cat seems muy simpatico, very nice, I'm sure," says Papi mouse. The mice (being cheese lovers) spend the day making quesadillas for the fiesta, while Chato and his best friend Novio Boy busily prepare side dishes for a meal con ratoncitos. Instead of the anticipated gruesome ending, a surprise twist is in the works.
Gary Soto, author of Too Many Tamales, is brilliantly witty, and Chato's Kitchen--an ALA Notable Book and a Parents' Choice Award Winner--is truly marvilloso. Susan Guevera's comical, deliciously detailed, richly colored depictions of the creatures are priceless as well, earning her the 1996 Pura Belpre Award for Illustration. A culinary concoction that no youngster (or adult) will be able to resist. (Ages 4 to 8)

My View: Is she Grace? Is she Franklyn? DMV says neither
Date: September 20, 2012
by: Rodger Skidmore | Guest Columnist
Is your name John, but all your friends call you Jack? Tough.
Is your name Elizabeth, and your friends call you Betty? And that's what's on your driver's license? Too bad. You're in trouble.
My wife, being a Southerner by birth, was named after her maternal grandparents. Both names, Grace and Franklyn (her grandfather was Franklin, but they made the name feminine by change the "i" to a "y"), are on her birth certificate. Although she was given both names, she has always gone by the single name of Franklyn.
Unfortunately, when she went to acquire her Social Security card, it issued the card with only her first and last name on it. Thus, while she was Franklyn to family and friends, she became Grace to the U.S. government.
When in Paris on our honeymoon, the U.S. embassy amended her passport from Grace Noll to Franklyn Skidmore, and all subsequent passports and driver's licenses have been issued in those names.
But the trouble started with Medicare. Because of the way her Social Security card was worded, her doctors and our pharmacy know her as Grace.
When she went this week, under the new state rules, to have her Florida driver's license renewed, she had, as requested, her passport (Franklyn), her Social Security card (Grace), her marriage certificate (Grace Franklyn) and her soon-to-be-expired driver's license (Franklyn). She asked that her driver's license, which had been issued to her by that exact same office, be renewed as it had previously been issued — Franklyn.
The Department of Motor Vehicles said no, because she might not be Franklyn, instead, she might really be Grace, a sister.
She then asked if it could be issued in the name of Grace, and it again said no; she might be someone named Franklyn.
Pointing to the marriage certificate, which had both names, she said that indicated Grace and Franklyn were not sisters but were one and the same person (at least to the city of New York). Way too confusing for the DMV.
Its solution? It told her to go away and bring better proof as to whom she really is.
I hope James "Jimmy" Carter's and Willard "Mitt" Romney's driver's licenses aren't due to expire before Nov. 6. They might not be able to vote.
The same problems might be coming in the future for you or thousands of other people who have second names or nicknames on any of the required documents. Or if, heaven forbid, you misplaced one or more of them in one of the last five or 10 moves.

- Rodger and Franklyn, I was named Alice Dale after my two grand mothers. They chose to call me Dale because that grandmother lived near. Frequently I was addressed as Mr Dale like when the draft sent me notices. I always wanted to be Alice. Now that l live South of the border where Dale is pronounced as" Dolly" meaning " Give it to him",I have finally become known as Alice where I always wanted to be anyway.
I have learned to carry a copy of my birth certificate with my pass port to prove I am me. Alice

No major tourist flooding as other holiday paradises, the island of Sal is increasingly sought by those who want a few days off for two or even as a honeymoon destination. It is ideal for moments just for two, on the beach or a walk, with our eyes set on a real lunar landscape.
Sun and sea, on an island that is not deserted summons the gods of love. The island of Sal in the archipelago of Cape Verde, does not have the typical tourist flooding as other paradise destinations, such as the Caribbean, it is increasingly a destination devoted to days with romance or even an unforgettable honeymoon. In fact, the island of Sal has all the necessary ingredients: white sand beaches and warm crystalline waters, sunshine and mild tempered by the trade winds. Add a rich cuisine, friendly people and guaranteed fun, day and night at the sound of "mornas" and "coladeras". The hotel units have already adapted to stimulate this type of tourism and promote activities that complete a memorable stay. Apart from the fantastic Vila de Santa Maria beach, Sal conceals other paradises, such as the sands of Algodoeiro, Murdeira Bay, Calheta Funda Beach and Praia d'Água Doce, among others. As a couple, enjoy the natural "spas" in the zone of Salinas. Floating in the dense salt pond waters is a unique experience. On the opposite side of the island to the northwest, the fantastic natural volcanic stone pool, called Buracona that offers a swim with very different characteristics, where you can watch the spectacular effects that occur when the sun's rays cross the water.

Mentor Graphics Acquires Virtual Garage Technology from Freescale to Expand Electrical Design Scope
WILSONVILLE, Ore., February 16, 2010 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced today that it has acquired the Virtual Garage product line from Freescale, a US-based technology company. Virtual Garage is a software suite that addresses two important topics within the design and management of automotive electrical and electronic systems: the trade-off between value-of-variety and cost-of-complexity caused by optional electronic content; and provision of vehicle-specific design data, such as dynamic electrical schematics, on demand to service networks.
Both topics carry significant profitability implications. Martin O'Brien, general manager of Mentor Graphics Integrated Electrical Systems Division, said "Virtual Garage is highly complementary to Mentor's CHS software for electrical systems design and wire harness engineering. Virtual Garage expands our scope both upstream into product planning, where decisions about product configuration complexity significantly impact long term costs, and downstream into the key area of online service documentation for dealer networks. Our customers consistently tell us that these are both areas that require strong software support."
The Virtual Garage products are OEM proven and add significant value across the supply chain. Mentor has acquired the relevant intellectual assets and the key architects of the solutions. Mentor also acquired one key commercial contract under the acquisition. Renee Mitchell, director, corporate strategy and business transformation for Freescale, said "As a responsible supplier it was important to Freescale that Virtual Garage was transferred to the right new owner. Mentor Graphics has world-leading expertise in automotive electrical and electronic design, and the global reach needed to support automotive customers. Although we considered other expressions of interest, it was clear that Mentor is the best company to take Virtual Garage forward."
Following this technology acquisition, Virtual Garage will be incorporated into Mentor's automotive industry product portfolio. Virtual Garage will also be featured in several sessions at the upcoming IESF conference in Detroit on March 18, 2010. The sessions are:
- "Delivering Dealers VIN-based Service Documentation Online and On Demand," presented by Ron Wadood, wiring diagrams/electrical systems manger, dealer technical operations, Chrysler
- "Challenges of Automotive Electrical Complexity - The OEM Perspective," presented by John Antilla, Operations Program Manager, Systems & Components, Chrysler
- "Managing Electrical Complexity with Virtual Garage," presented by Brad McCaskey, Mentor Graphics

None of my kids are born performers; they're never comfortable being the center of attention, and even The Pea, who participates in several dance recitals and shows each year, always confesses to feeling butterflies in the pit of her stomach whenever she gets up and thinks of all those pairs of eyes on her.
That's why I have such a difficult time believing them when they say it's their dream to appear on the tv game show, Family Game Night. Appearing in front of millions of people on television doesn't seem to faze my normally camera-shy kids. Maybe it's the thought of winning all those prizes. I remember fantasizing about winning the round-the-world showcase (A speedboat! A set of Samsonite luggage! A new car!) or even some lamer showcase (A charcoal barbecue grill! A trash compactor! And a golf cart!) on The Price Is Right, and the prizes on Family Game Night are so much better. Or maybe it's the thought of playing life-sized versions of their favorite board games (I must confess, I'd love to knock down the gigantic pins in Yahtzee bowling). Or maybe it's the thought of competing against other families.
Whatever the case, it doesn't look like we're going to be competing on tv anytime soon -- and it's not because I have no idea how to apply for the show, nor is it because I don't want to. No, the one stumbling block in my kids' plans for fame and fortune is the fact that the families on the show have just 2 kids, and none of my kids want to pretend they don't exist and give up the chance to compete. So until they figure out who goes on stage, I guess we'll just have to be content with the videogame version at home!
If your family is camera-shy, or too big, or just wants to stay home, check out EA Games' new Family Game Night 4 videogame for the Wii, Playstation Move, and XBox Kinnect. If you live in the San Jose area, they're celebrating the launch of the new game with a FAMILY GAME DAY at Santana Row Best Buy. The event is on Sunday December 4th from Noon to 4pm.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 2, 2011
If radiation treatment is an option, a visit will be scheduled with a radiation oncologist at the Ruth and Raymond Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.
This first visit is to:
On this first visit, you may be asked to bring X-rays, laboratory tests, and pathology slides for the radiation oncologist to review. Depending on your situation, the visit will take one to several hours. During the visit, a history and physical exam will be done by the radiation oncologist. The radiation oncologist may also discuss their findings with other members of the team, such as your medical oncologist at CHOP. This is to make sure that your child receives the best possible care.
At the end of the visit, your doctor will review the role of radiation treatment. If radiation therapy is to be given, all treatments will be in the Radiation Oncology Department at the Perelman Center.
If radiation treatment is to be given, the doctor will review the plan, the reasons for the treatment, and the possible risks and side effects. There will be plenty of time during this visit for you to understand the treatment and related issues. All of your questions and concerns will be answered.
It is a good idea to bring a family member or friend with you to this first visit. It can be difficult to remember everything the doctor says or to know every question to ask. Family and friends may be able to help you during the visit and have their own questions answered.
You will be asked to sign a consent form once you have a full understanding of the treatment including:
Before you sign the consent form, it is important that you are comfortable with the information that you have been given. Your signature means that you have received the information and that you are willing to have your child treated with radiation.
Even after you have signed the consent, your doctor is always there to answer new questions or to give more information. You can withdraw your consent at any time, for any reason.
At the end of the simulation visit, it may be necessary to put marks —called tattoos — on your child. This is to show the treatment area. Thesemarks will be very small and not that noticeable. They are dots, about thesize of a pinpoint or freckle. They are made using India ink. Not everyoneneeds tattoos.
Placing the tattoos may cause some discomfort. The discomfort willnot last long. The tattoos are permanent, they won't ever go away. Havingthe tattoos allows for bathing without having to worry that the marks willwash off.
After simulation and before treatment begins, the information is sent to radiation dosimetrists and medical physicists. These specialists perform highly technical calculations to set the treatment machine.
After the simulation and all the calculations have been done, you willhave your "set-up" and then treatment can begin. Set-up is the process ofgetting your child situated on the actual machine where their treatmentwill be given. The treatment machines (linear accelerators) look like thesimulator, but are larger. Your child will be placed on the table, in thesame position they were in during simulation. A set of images will betaken. These will be checked by your therapist and doctor.
After set-up, the therapist will talk with you about the daily treatmenttime. If your child is going to have general anesthesia, the treatment willbe first thing in the morning. If your child is not having anesthesia go topage 12. If your child is having anesthesia it is important that you read the instructions for General Anesthesia.

Nov 1, 2010 - Radiation therapy appears to reduce recurrence rates when added to surgical treatment of rectal cancer and to increase survival when added to medical management of prostate cancer, and a highly targeted radiation approach may reduce gastrointestinal complications associated with prostate cancer treatment, according to three studies to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 in San Diego.

Since I think we are all on the same page regarding the angel machine draining her so she is confined to a wheelchair. Rather than "It took her a really long time to learn how to walk". Although if I were to seriously consider that possibility, then I guess a possible explanation for why the closest to talking she came was "Ma" was because she never really learned how to speak. Unlikely but it's just a thought.

Update from Vater Artist Branden Steineckert (Rancid)
Live Online Performance: April 9, 2011
"My project "Apocalypse Radio" is releasing a live performance and documentary online this Saturday. We've got a brand new website that we've teamed up with a pretty rad company to be able to do a multi-angle HD live performance (that we shot on March 6th) and viewers can register for $1.99 to watch it unlimited, high quality sound/video and the viewer can select which of the many camera angles they want to watch from at anytime in real time without interrupting the show.
We also have a 20min documentary about the band/project that people can get for only $0.99 (if people register for both they also get a free live download of our song "Lost Souls"). Pre-registration is available now at our website: www.Radio801.com and the show will release this Saturday, April 9th 2011
"Apocalypse Radio" released a new self titled album on Nov 30th 2010. "Apocalypse Radio" is myself along with my best friend Brian Patchett. He and I write, perform everything ourselves. I play drums on the whole album, we both play guitar, sing, and we both played bass on all the songs. I personally recorded, engineered, produced and mixed the entire album myself. It was a lot of work but very rewarding!! We released it by ourselves through iTunes and our online store on our site. We've just arranged with Hot Topic to be the exclusive retailer of our cd too. We've worked really hard on this project doing it all 100% independent, by ourselves.
Our live performance features our good friend Atom Willard (Angels & Airwaves) on drums and Drew Hamnett (The Trademark) on bass while Brian and I sing/play guitar. This online performance will be cool because with our "live" line up, it makes it very hard for this band to tour properly due to everyones careers, etc. So with this we can bring the event right to people in the comfort of their own home."
Hope you get to check it out!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To measure the amount of ceruloplasmin in the blood; to help diagnose Wilson disease; sometimes to help identify other conditions associated with copper deficiencies
When to Get Tested?
When you have jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, behavioral changes, tremors, or other symptoms that your doctor thinks may be due to Wilson disease or, rarely, to copper deficiency; at intervals when monitoring is recommended
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of ceruloplasmin in the blood. Ceruloplasmin is a copper-containing enzyme that plays a role in the body's iron metabolism. Copper is an essential mineral that is absorbed into the body through the diet. It is absorbed in the intestines and then transported to the liver, where it is stored or used to produce a variety of enzymes. The liver binds copper to apoceruloplasmin to produce ceruloplasmin and then releases it into the bloodstream. About 95% of the copper in the blood is bound to ceruloplasmin. Because of this, the ceruloplasmin test can be used along with one or more copper tests to help diagnose Wilson disease and evaluate copper metabolism.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Bush has no power behind the scenes, and has remained silent for a year.
Who has he remained silent to greeney?...just because he is not speaking in public doesn't mean he isn't talking to the powers that be.
As far as the democrats owning up to their mistakes..all i can see is that its pretty damn hard to fix the collosal mistakes of previous presidents.
And if the republicans had gotten in....how much money would have gone to bailing out the banks???? Have any idea on that number greeney?
In my opinion the real power that controls most of this planet goes far deeper than political parties.

The anti-nuke crowd in Japan has been very strong in the past and I'll bet there are things happening that we are not hearing about in the media. Japan had no choice, like most industrial countries, but to use nuclear in the mix of energy generation. They couldn't just keep buying more oil.
We can plan for terrorists, failed equipment and most natural disasters but mother nature can always deliver a punch we're not ready for, and therefore if you are going to use nuclear reactors, you must have a plan to deal with them when something catastrophic happens. Otherwise, you're not doing what you should (being kind).
The company running the Fukushima reactors and the government are both to blame.

TOPAZ: The Single-Crystal Diffractometer at SNS
TOPAZ instrument scientist Christina Hoffmann and scientific associate Matt Frost at TOPAZ.
TOPAZ is an elastic scattering instrument that allows for probing of material structures and responses under controlled environmental conditions. It enables neutron measurement of the same single-crystal samples that is possible with x-ray diffraction.
Data are collected on samples of 0.1 mm3 or less. Resolution is such that an average unit cell size of [50 × 50 × 50] Å3 for compounds of moderate complexity can be easily accommodated. This includes inorganic large and porous framework and guest-host materials, metal (in-)organic cluster and molecular compounds, and organic arrangements of interest for biology and medical applications.
View inside the sample enclosure: in front are the interchangeable focusing optics within 2 m upstream of the sample. This allows focusing between an area of 0.1 × 0.1 mm and 3 × 3 mm. The fully populated detector array with sample loading from the top encloses the sample position spherically.
Materials investigated with TOPAZ include functional materials of the high Tc superconductor perovskite structure family, magnetic superstructures in perovskites, and spinels. Also of importance are catalytic precursors, metalhydride materials for potential hydrogen storage applications, and organometallics. Potential future studies include high-density, three-dimensional storage materials, known as single molecule magnets. These materials have raised much interest but in the past could mostly be studied only in polycrystalline samples using neutron diffraction.
Neutron single-crystal diffraction is uniquely positioned to decipher the pathways and bonding of hydrogen in the presence of heavy metal ions as it is sensitive to both classes of elements in comparable quantity. Simultaneously, the magnetic ordering and structure can be investigated exploring the fact the neutrons carry a magnetic moment. This allows for investigation of magnetic and spin density studies in magnetically interesting materials.

Rahim Moore, Broncos put his big blunder behind them
By ARNIE STAPLETON
Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have moved on, even if their fans haven't.
That includes Rahim Moore, the safety whose big blunder led to Denver's heart-wrenching loss in the playoffs four months ago.
The Broncos gathered today for their first full practice since that fateful, frigid night in Denver when Moore allowed Jacoby Jones' 70-yard touchdown catch from Joe Flacco in the final minute of regulation in the division round game the Baltimore Ravens won in double overtime on their way to winning the Super Bowl.
Although there was plenty of blame to go around, Moore took the brunt of public criticism along with coach John Fox for his decision to have Peyton Manning take a knee afterward and take his chances in overtime.
Many fans wondered if Moore could ever play in Denver again after his gaffe, akin to Bill Buckner's ball-through-the-legs moment in the 1986 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Mets.
The Broncos, however, are sticking with the third-year pro who remains the starter at free safety.
"I think he's over it; I think we're all over it, you know," Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio told the Associated Press. "I think we all look back and see things that we could have done better. We also look back with a great deal of pride in what we accomplished.
"We played some very good defense and he was central to that. So, we want to feel good about what went well. We want to feel the sting of what went bad. And we want to get ready to be better this year."
The Broncos' stars all stumbled in that 38-35 double-overtime loss to the Ravens: Manning had three turnovers, including an interception that led to the winning field goal; Champ Bailey got burned repeatedly; Ryan Clady was playing with a torn rotator cuff that would require surgery and wasn't anything close to his usual dominant self as Manning's blindside protector; and Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil combined for just one sack.
All those poor performances were overshadowed, however, by the many mystifying mistakes that Moore, their second-year free safety, made on Jones' 70-yard touchdown catch from Flacco with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Moore lined up too shallow and allowed Jones to blow past him after leaving cornerback Tony Carter, who failed to jam at the line of scrimmage, in his wake.
Then, instead of going for the tackle, Moore tried for the interception on Flacco's 50-yard high-arcing heave but mistimed his jump and fell down, which prevented Carter from catching Jones as he pranced his way into the end zone.
Moore took the blame after the game and promised to make good, saying, "I'm going to keep my head high and next time the opportunity comes, I'm just going to make it for my team. I'll just make the play."
Moore is sure to face heightened scrutiny from fans this season and how he handles the pressure will go a long way in determining if he recovers from the big blunder to have a good season.
"I feel like that's the way with the rest of us, he's no different. It may be more publicized, there may be more people interested in it," Del Rio said. "In terms of us internally here, we all feel like there's things we can do better and we're all looking to grow. I put him in the same category. I think he had a really solid year last year after a disappointing first year and he should be able to build on that and be better this year."
Providing he can get over it, of course.
"Rahim's focus is on getting better from a year ago," Fox said. "And there wasn't one play. It was a whole season. He made great, great progress a year ago from his rookie year and we anticipate him to do that again. He's a very talented young man."
Moore hasn't addressed reporters en masse yet. That should come Monday when reporters get the chance to view the first day of the Broncos' OTAs in its entirety.
The team has denied requests for 1-on-1 interviews except for one he gave The Denver Post recently in which Moore said he went right back to work in a matter of days after his massive mistake.
"Yeah, sometimes hard work is the best tonic when you feel the sting of something," Del Rio said.
Moore has the support of everybody at team headquarters, from Bailey to executive vice president John Elway, who was asked during a recent conference call with season-ticket holders why he didn't address safety in the offseason.
"Obviously, what's stuck in peoples' minds about Rahim" was the playoff foul-up, "but he made tremendous strides from Year 1 to Year 2," Elway said. "And I think hopefully he makes those same strides."

Will Heart's Original Lineup Perform For Rock Hall Induction??
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Will the original lineup of Heart reunite in April at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction? Ultimate Classic Rock reported that according to original lead guitarist, Roger Fisher -- and former lover of guitarist Nancy Wilson -- the answer is yes. Fisher posted a message on his Facebook page, stating: "I haven't seen anyone announce it yet: THE ORIGINAL HEART LINEUP WILL PLAY AT THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY."
Back in December when the inductees were announced, Heart front-woman Ann Wilson made it pretty clear that she and sister Nancy Wilson, who have carried on leading Heart since the original lineup split in 1979, would be performing with their current, road-ready touring band, telling Rolling Stone: "The performing part might be different because of the whole Ann and Nancy Wilson versus the Heart band. We've been playing with our current band way, way longer than that. You know this is one of those things we'll need to dust off among ourselves. But we're both really happy if the initial lineup of guys gets acknowledged."
When Wilson was pressed if she was amenable for the sisters to reunite onstage with the original lineup, she said, "No. Nope."
The classic 1975 to 1979 Heart lineup being inducted into the Rock Hall is Ann & Nancy Wilson, lead guitarist Roger Fisher, bassist Steve Fossen, longtime guitarist/keyboardist Howard Leese, and drummer Michael DeRosier.
Ann Wilson told us that although she's happy that the original lineup is getting its due, it doesn't change the fact that it'll be weird to see everyone after all this time: "Yeah, it'll kinda be like getting together with your old aunts and uncles that you haven't see for 30 (laughs) years!!! 'Cause we haven't really kept in touch with those guys, I mean, it's really been a long time. I still live in Seattle and most of them do, but our paths just don't cross. So, it's. . . Yeah -- It will be very, very unusual."
