When Lines Get Out of Line If only there were a fountain of youth or magic wand that could instantly reverse skin aging. Ahhh, that'd be the life, wouldn't it? Unfortunately it's just not the case. Bar none, the best strategy against fine lines, wrinkles and dull, aging skin is prevention—regardless of your age.

But no matter what, the first step in maintaining healthy, youthful skin is simple: sun protection. Slather on that sunscreen, friend.

SANAA, Yemen — Islamist extremists, many suspected of links to al-Qaeda, are engaged in an intensifying struggle against government forces for control of southern Yemen, taking advantage of a growing power vacuum to create a stronghold near vital oil-shipping lanes, said residents and Yemeni and U.S. officials.
Over the past few weeks, the militants have swiftly taken over two towns, including Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan province, and surrounding areas and appear to be pushing farther south, said Yemeni security officials and residents. Increasingly, it appears as if al-Qaeda's regional affiliate is seeking for the first time to grab and hold large swaths of territory, adding a dangerous dimension to Yemen's crisis.

At ra, we love design competitions. Local and national awards lead us to some of the best work we feature in the magazine. So it's no surprise we started our own program eight years ago, hoping to find new accomplishments by known and emerging talent. Our residential architect Design Awards now constitute the single biggest and most selective residential architecture competition in the country.
This year we received 886 entries in 15 categories. The jury comprised six distinguished architects, including Randy Brown, FAIA, Randy Brown Architects, Omaha, Neb.; Anne Decker, AIA, Rill & Decker Architects, Bethesda, Md.; David Furman, FAIA, David Furman Architecture, Charlotte, N.C.; Val Glitsch, FAIA, LEED AP, Val Glitsch, FAIA, Architect, Houston; Guy Peterson, FAIA, Guy Peterson/Office for Architecture, Sarasota, Fla.; and Garth Rockcastle, FAIA, Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Hyattsville, Md. As always, we gave our judges full latitude to combine, eliminate, or add categories. Thus, no awards were given this year in the adaptive reuse, campus housing, kitchen, or bath categories. And a special Judges' Award was created to honor a student project.
In all, our jury singled out 29 projects for awards, among them one Judges' award, 20 Merit awards, seven Grand awards, and a Project of the Year.

text: Perl Monks Chat Watcher- this is my derivative version of Diego Zamboni's PerlMonkChat.pm module, along with Gtk and console frontends. neither frontend is complete. the Gtk frontend can get and post messages, receive personal (/msg) messages, show what other users are online, and check off /msg's. there is currently no way to log in, so it uses the Netscape cookie file at ~/.netscape/cookies. login is in the PerlMonksChat.pm, but i didn't do the Gtk interface yet. i'm not sure how well this will work with slower internet connections, since the GET is blocking the UI updates. i'll try to figure this out once i'm more familiar with Gtk. also, it doesn't yet notice when personal messages are removed through another interface (i.e. the browser). the Gtk interface requires Gtk-Perl 0.700 (that's what i used to code it). the console interface can only receive messages, and only shows public messages. it is basically only good for monitoring the chatterbox in a terminal window as an Anonymous Monk. both interfaces require a recent version of LWP.

The police seized Rs. 1 crore from a vehicle in Amravati no Sunday
Two days after cash worth Rs. 1 crore was seized from a vehicle in Amravati ahead of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections, Raosaheb Shekhawat, Congress MLA from the district and President Pratibha Patil's son, on Tuesday said the money was meant for party candidates from economically weaker sections.
The State Election Commission has taken a serious view of the matter and called for a report from the Municipal Commissioner and District Collector.
Speaking to The Hindu over phone from Amravati, Mr. Shekhawat said: "We had asked the party, that is, the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee to give us funds for the candidates. With the 50 per cent quota for women, many new faces have entered the poll fray. These are housewives and social workers from poor or economically weaker sections. We have also put up many young candidates who are not financially sound."
Mr. Shekhawat said the party had prepared a letter stating that Rs. 1 lakh would be given for each candidate. However, there was no one to collect the letter from the Mumbai office. The cash was seized while the letter was still lying in the office.
He said the party had faxed the letter to him, which he had submitted along with his own letter to them.
"We have 87 candidates, which comes to Rs. 87 lakh and the balance amount was to be used for staging rallies and meetings and on logistics like loudspeakers and vehicles. I did not know how the said amount was going to reach us. The police said that funds were misappropriated. When they seized the cash, I called the office to fax the letter to me. All the proof has been submitted to the police."
However, the cash has to be recovered from the court. "We have appointed legal experts to deal with the court matter. After giving the letters, which is sufficient proof, the police should have released the amount, but they told us to approach the court. This is unnecessary and has complicated matters."
"It is 100 per cent legal money. Every party gives funds," he said.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party has called upon the Commission to take strict action against those involved.
The two persons arrested in connection with the cash seizure were released on Tuesday, Amravati Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar said.

((Oh hai der. I'm here to add Xerath to the list of champion RP'ers. I'm surprised there isn't an Ask Xerath yet.)) Xerath floats out into a large circular room,"Greetings Summoners and champions alike. It is I, the all powerful Xerarth have finally left my chambers to entertain you for the time.Should you request to know anything about me or what I do, now is the time to ask before the power here is drained completely." Xerath's lightning body turns red as the lighting around the room darkens,"Be for warned, should your questions anger or confuse me, you shale feel the wrath of the Magus Ascendant. Even the weak powers of your elder summoners can't save you from me, so think twice before you try anything." Lighting returns to normal, and Xerath returns back to his light blue form, "Now speak young mortals. What is it you wish to know about me or my magics?" For those who care, here's the Profile of this verson of Xerath: Here
((There has been an Ask Xerath, but it's been so long that he's been forgotten.))
((Well if he comes back I'll gladly hand it back over.))
Ask the Herald
{{ We HAD a Xerath, but he resigned. Welcome new Magus Ascendant. Try not to let the drama get to you. }}
Mathais wanders in, more or less unabashed by the crackling of magics all around him. Watching the Magus Ascendant, he tilts his head ever so slightly, watching him. He speaks, his voice sounding very hoarse. Xerath. You yourself are a living conduit of magical energy incarnate, a mere by-product of the power you so sought to control... and I say that with the utmost respect. In having this knowledge... I would be curious if you bestow upon me a mere portion of this knowledge. Clearing his throat briefly, he continues, managing to get the frog out. Or whatever that blasted noise was. What do you know of binding runes to a weapon? Say, a blade, for example. And Mathais presents such a blade, laid out across his palms and partially wrapped in a brown cloth. ... I have my reasons for asking.
Xerath awakes from his meditation, "Hmm, no questions for me? Is this truly the best you mortals have to offer? I knew my powers were not worth wasting on such fruitful tasks such as this."

Abstract: | The study is about the Gulf-returned Keralites and their personal financial planning during the Gulf-period. The researcher has examined the nature of their income, expenditure, savings and investments during the Gulf-period and after their return. Even though the Gulf-returned Keralites had remitted huge amounts to Kerala, it appears that the majority of them are struggling hard to make both ends meet. The sample consists of 318 Gulf-returned Keralites selected by employing stratified random sampling technique, from 5 districts. After a pilot study, the data was collected through personal interviews using a structured schedule. In order to find out whether the respondents had personal financial planning during the Gulf-period, the researcher has evaluated 15 elements of personal financeusing a five-point-scale rating technique. The hypotheses were tested using correlation, t-test, chi-square and ANOVA, through SPSS. |

Abstract: | The thesis entitled Personnel Management Practices in the Kerala-Based Scheduled Commercial Banks. Personnel management function is of cardinal importance, requiring a sophisticated and scientific approach. In a labour-intensive, service industry like banking. Productivity and ultimate profitability of the entire organization depend considerably on the effectiveness with which personnel management function is executed; and the prudence with which personnel problems are handle. The main objectives of the study are to understand the current status of personnel management functions in the banks and to evaluate the practices in the light of the principles and theories of personnel management so as to identify the strengths and weaknesses. The universe of this study is the eight Scheduled Commercial Banks based in Kerala. The major limitation of the study is that as State Bank of Travancore, the lone public sector bank based in Kerala did not grant permission for collection of data, this study had to be confined to private sector banks only. Almost the entire data used for this study are primary and were collected from the files and other records or the concerned banks. This report has chapters dealing with the functional areas of personnel management such as determination of human resource requirements, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, promotions and compensation. Findings reveal that the practice of personnel management in the Kerala-based private sector scheduled commercial banks has not gained a degree of sophistication compatible with its role in modern business management. |

Abstract: | The overall focus of the thesis involves the performer's rights in india -A study with special reference to the audiovisual industry.The performer is the disseminator of works of literary, dramatic artistic and musical authorship .The challenge of studying the audiovisual industry is the low level of data documentation and transparency in transactions compounded by the low awareness of legal issues. The first five chapters of the study trace the evolution of performers' rights with particular impetus on three diverse jurisdictions both at the judicial and statutory levels as well as from the collective bargaining platform.The study also seeks to pin point the major obstacles that the performers have had to encounter in their quest for equal rights under the umbrella of intellectual property the world over.the status of the performer through the international instruments - the Rome convention, the WPPT and the envisaged Protocol to the audiovisual performance.A grant of rights to the performer either under Copyright or labor law need not improve matters for the performer unless the institutional grievance redressal is firmly put in place.There is a need for clearer delineation between the definitions of audio and audiovisual fixations. Under the Indian law the terms representing these have been sound records and cinematographs respectivel.Performer and the Philosophy of Intellectual Propertyeffectively. But this is not to deny the fact that these institutions, organizations and practices could very well rise to the occasion when the rights regime comes into force. |

Abstract: | In the present thesis the petrographic, geochemical and digenetic variability of the sediments in the islands of Kavaratti and Minicoy has been investigated .The beach profile studies show that in the Kavaratti lagoon beach, the slope is steeper in the southern and south central part than in the northern end's marginal deposition is taking place in the northern end of the Kavaratti island, whereas a marginal erosion is observed at the southern end. In Minicoy the slope of the lagoon beach is gentle in the south and is slightly steeper at the northern part of the beach. The southern and northern beach sections show a marginal deposition. Based on the mineralogical and geochemical studies it is concluded that the main digenetic changes observed is the transformation of aragonite to LMC.The transformation takes place mainly in the vadose zone and is caused by the abundance of fresh water infiltration. |

Abstract: | Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) based nanocomposites have been prepared with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through an ultrasound assisted dissolution-evaporation method. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed that SWNTs nucleate crystallization in PET at weight fractions as low as 0.3%, as the nanocomposite melt crystallized during cooling at temperature 24 °C higher than neat PET of identical molecular weight. Isothermal crystallization studies also revealed that SWNTs significantly accelerate the crystallization process. Mechanical properties of the PETSWNT nanocomposites improved as compared to neat PET indicating the effective reinforcement provided by nanotubes in the polymer matrix. Electrical conductivity measurements on the nanocomposite films showed that SWNTs at concentrations exceeding 1 wt% in the PET matrix result in electrical percolation. Comparison of crystallization, conductivity and transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that ultrasound assisted dissolution-evaporation method enables more effective dispersion of SWNTs in the PET matrix as compared to the melt compounding method |

Abstract: | Synchronization in an array of mutually coupled systems with a finite time delay in coupling is studied using the Josephson junction as a model system. The sum of the transverse Lyapunov exponents is evaluated as a function of the parameters by linearizing the equation about the synchronization manifold. The dependence of synchronization on damping parameter, coupling constant, and time delay is studied numerically. The change in the dynamics of the system due to time delay and phase difference between the applied fields is studied. The case where a small frequency detuning between the applied fields is also discussed. |

Abstract: | A forward - biased point contact germanium signal diode placed inside a waveguide section along the E -vector is found to introduce significant phase shift of microwave signals . The usefulness of the arrangement as a phase modulator for microwave carriers is demonstrated. While there is a less significant amplitude modulation accompanying phase modulation , the insertion losses are found to be negligible. The observations can be explained on the basis of the capacitance variation of the barrier layer with forward current in the diode |

Abstract: | We consider an array of N Josephson junctions connected in parallel and explore the condition for chaotic synchronization. It is found that the outer junctions can be synchronized while they remain uncorrelated to the inner ones when an external biasing is applied. The stability of the solution is found out for the outer junctions in the synchronization manifold. Symmetry considerations lead to a situation wherein the inner junctions can synchronize for certain values of the parameter. In the presence of a phase difference between the applied fields, all the junctions exhibit phase synchronization. It is also found that chaotic motion changes to periodic in the presence of phase differences. |

Abstract: | A detailed ultrasonic study of the elastic properties of lithium ammonium sulfate ~LiNH4SO4! or LAS has been carried out below room temperature. The elastic constants of LAS at room temperature are reported. The discrepancy present in earlier elastic constant data associated with the different choice of axes for this orthorhombic system are clarified. The results of the temperature variation study down to 220 K confirm the ferroelastic phase transition at 285 K and establish a thermal hysteresis of about 2.5 K between the cooling and heating cycles. Results of the investigation on the suspected weak phase transition at 256 K suggest that this transition occurs at 242 K on cooling and at 256 K on heating, thus having a thermal hysteresis of about 14 K. However, since the observed elastic anomaly for this transition is very small, the nature of this transition still remains unclear |

Abstract: | This thesis is a modest attempt in assessing the trace metal levels and their behavior in the aquatic environment of Kuttanad, an aquatic system that is severely affected by man's intervention on natural processes, by study seriously evaluating the levels of trace metals in dissolved and particulate phases and also in the different chemical fractions of the sediments. Understanding of the distributions, variations and transfer processes of trace metals in different environmental phases in the backwaters of Kuttanad is vital for the assessment of the water pollution problems and study the ecology of the area which contributes 20% of the rice production in the State of Kerala. Kuttand is a low-lying, shallow bay formed as a result of geological uplift. The major economic activity is agriculture involving 40% of the population. About 1.5% of the people are engaged in aquaculture. The trace metal distribution in the Kuttand backwaters is considerably influenced by the tropical features of the location and by human activities including agricultural activities and construction of salinity barrier. In this study an attempt is made to differentiate the metals in the sediment into exchangeable, reducible and resistant fractions in the sediments. |

Abstract: | Environmental persistence, fate and interactive effects with living organisms - beneficial or toxic - of trace elements are directly related to the physico-chemical forms in which they occur. Knowledge on the association of trace metals with different environmental compartments in an aquatic system are, therefore, essential for monitoring the trace metal pollution as well as transport, fate and bio-geochemical cycles of trace metals. This thesis is a modest attempt in assessing the trace metal levels and their behaviour in the aquatic environment of Kuttanad, an aquatic system that is severely affected by man's intervention on natural processes, by seriously evaluating the levels of trace metals in dissolved and particulate phases and also in the different chemical fractions of the sediments. |

Abstract: | This thesis Entitled phenylethynylarene based Donor-Acceptor systems:Desigh,Synthesis and Photophysical studies. A strategy for the design of donor-acceptor dyads, wherein decay of the charge separated (CS) state to low lying local triplet levels could possibly be prevented, is proposed. In order to examine this strategy, a linked donor-acceptor dyad BPEPPT with bis(phenylethYlly/)pyrene (BPEP) as the light absorber and acceptor and phenothiazine (PT) as donor was designed and photoinduced electron transfer in the dyad investigated. Absorption spectra of the dyad can be obtained by adding contributions due 10 the BPEP and PT moieties indicating that the constituents do not interact in the ground stale. Fluorescence of the BPEP moiety was efficiently quenched by the PT donor and this was attributed to electron lransfer from PT to BPEP. Picosecond transient absorption studies suggested formation of a charge separated state directly from the singlet excited state of BPEP. Nanosecond flash photolysis experiments gave long-ived transient absorptions assignable to PT radical cation and BPEP radical anion. These assignments were confirmed by oxygen quenching studies and secondary electron transfer experiments. Based on the available data, energy level diagram for BPEP-PT was constructed. The long lifetime of the charge separated state was attributed to the inverted region effects. The CS state did not undergo decay to low lying BPEP triplet indicating the success of our strategy |

Abstract: | The emergence of lasers in the early sixties has not only revolutionized the field of optics and communication but also paved new ways in the field of material characterization. Material studies using photothermal techniques possess certain unique characteristics and advantages over conventional methods. The most important aspect of photothennal techniques is their ability to perform noncontact and nondestructive measurement. Photoacoustics, photothermal deflection, thermal lens, photothermal radiometry and photopyroelectric methods are some of the commonly used and powerful techniques for the thermal and optical characterization of materials using lasers. In this thesis the applications of photoacoustic and photothermal deflection techniques for the thermal and optical characterization of different photonic materials, namely, semiconductors, liquid crystals and dye-doped polymers are discussed |

Abstract: | Absorption spectra of formaldehyde molecule in the gas phase have been recorded using photoacoustic (PA) technique with pulsed dye laser at various power levels. The spectral profiles at higher power levels are found to be different from that obtained at lower laser powers. Two photon absorption (TPA) is found to be responsible for the photoacoustic signal at higher laser power while the absorption at lower laser power level is attributed to one photon absorption (OPA) process. Probable assignments for the different transitions are given in this paper. |

Abstract: | The discovery of the Photoacoustic (PA) effect was a remarkable achievement and was relegated to the scientific footnotes of the nineteenth century. However, after the advent of lasers and sophisticated electronics this effect was rediscovered and it has established itself as an important research and analytical tool in numerous areas, including physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Quite recently, this phenomenon has made its impact in the field of laser technology for applications such as the developments of highly efficient active media for lasers, high quality optics and sensitive laser power monitoring devices. This thesis presents the work carried out by the author in this field during the past few years at the Department of Physics in Cochin University of Science and Technology. The studies discussed here are mostly based on the development of a sensitive PA laser power meter and its various applications using different laser systems available in the laboratory. This includes the development of a current regulated CW C0 laser and its application in material processing. The thesis contains seven chapters which by and large are self contained with separate abstracts and references. The first chapter which is divided into two parts presents an introduction to the PA effect and its present status. Part A reviews the basic theory of laser and gives a sum mary of various lasers and their applications. Part B presents a brief description of PA effect and its suitability as a spectroscopic tool followed by its applications to various branches of science and technology. |

Mineral wool
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2008) |
Mineral wool, also known as mineral fiber, mineral fibre, stone wool, man-made mineral fibre (MMMF), and man-made vitreous fiber (MMVF), is a name for fiber materials that are formed by spinning or drawing molten minerals (or "synthetic minerals" such as slag and ceramics).[1] Completely man-made fibers include glass wool and ceramic fiber. Applications of mineral wool include thermal insulation (as both structural insulation and pipe insulation), filtration, soundproofing, and hydroponic growth medium.
Slag wool was first made in 1840 in Wales by Edward Parry, "but no effort appears to have been made to confine the wool after production; consequently it floated about the works with the slightest breeze, and became so injurious to the men that the process had to be abandoned".[2] It was first produced commercially in 1871 at Georgsmarienhütte in Osnabrück Germany.
Stone wool is a furnace product of molten rock at a temperature of about 1600 °C, through which a stream of air or steam is blown. More advanced production techniques are based on spinning molten rock in high-speed spinning heads somewhat like the process used to produce cotton candy. The final product is a mass of fine, intertwined fibres with a typical diameter of 6 to 10 micrometers. Mineral wool may contain a binder, most often phenolic but for environmental reasons now sometimes replaced by food-grade starch, and an oil to reduce fiber emission and improve moisture sensitiveness.
Though the individual fibers conduct heat very well, when pressed into rolls and sheets, their ability to partition air makes them excellent heat insulators and sound absorbers.[3][4] Though not immune to the effects of a sufficiently hot fire, the fire resistance of fiberglass, stone wool, and ceramic fibers makes them common building materials when passive fire protection is required, being used as spray fireproofing, in stud cavities in drywall assemblies and as packing materials in firestops.
Mineral wools will provide a structure for bacterial growth if allowed to become wet.
Other uses are in resin bonded panels, as filler in compounds for gaskets, in brake pads, in plastics in the automotive industry, as a filtering medium, and as a growth medium in hydroponics.
Mineral fibers are produced in the same way, without binder. The fiber as such is used as a raw material for its reinforcing purposes in various applications, such as friction materials, gaskets, plastics, and coatings.
Material | Temperature |
Glass wool | 230 - 260 °C |
Stone wool | 700 - 850 °C |
Ceramic fiber wool | 1200 °C |
In hydroponics[edit]
Mineral wool products can hold large quantities of water and air that aid root growth and nutrient uptake in hydroponics; their fibrous nature also provides a good mechanical structure to hold the plant stable. The naturally high pH of mineral wool makes them initially unsuitable to plant growth and requires "conditioning" to produce a wool with an appropriate, stable pH.[6]:16
Safety of material[edit]
Precautions need to be taken when handling a fiber product, as it can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. A summary of occupational health and safety information is provided by OSHA (USA).
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reviewed the carcinogenicity of man-made mineral fibres in October 2002.[7] The IARC Monograph's working group concluded only the more biopersistent materials remain classified by IARC as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). These include refractory ceramic fibres, which are used industrially as insulation in high-temperature environments such as blast furnaces, and certain special-purpose glass wools not used as insulating materials. In contrast, the more commonly used vitreous fibre wools produced since 2000, including insulation glass wool, stone wool, and slag wool, are considered "not classifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans" (Group 3).
High biosoluble fibres (HT-fibres) are produced that do not cause damage to the human cell. These newer materials have been tested for carcinogenicity and most are found to be noncarcinogenic, or to cause tumours in experimental animals only under very restricted conditions of exposure. The IARC Monograph's working group "elected not to make an overall evaluation of the newly developed fibres designed to be less biopersistent such as the alkaline earth silicate or high-alumina, low-silica wools. This decision was made in part because no human data were available, although such fibres that have been tested appear to have low carcinogenic potential in experimental animals, and because the Working Group had difficulty in categorizing these fibres into meaningful groups based on chemical composition."[8]

VINSON MASSIF: Back from Torres Del Paine and Ready for Take Off
Posted by: Dave Hahn | November 18, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Vinson Massif
Hello once again from Punta Arenas, in the far South of Chile.
The team made its way back from Torres Del Paine this morning on a blustery day. Storm clouds were swirling across the towers as our driver piloted his van out of the park and back toward our Antarctic adventure. The word was that ALE -our logistics company, had managed to get two preliminary flights accomplished, clearing the way for our own flight to go forward. We were sorry to leave Torres Del Paine since we'd all glimpsed a the possibilities for endless hiking and climbing, but we were excited to get back to working on our primary goal, Mt. Vinson.
We did see a number of Condors and Guanacos during our drive out of the park and a lot of wind whipped lakes and lagoons. Back in Punta, we reconnected with some of the other passengers-to-be for our flight to the ice and we compared notes on a couple of great days in Patagonia. In the late afternoon, we tried to get our equipment squared away for a weigh-in tomorrow morning and the subsequent loading of the airplane.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Somatophylakes (Greek: Σωματοφύλακες; singular: somatophylax, σωματοφύλαξ), in its literal English translation from Greek, means "bodyguards".
The most famous body of somatophylakes were those of Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great. They consisted of seven men, drawn from the Macedonian nobility, who also acted as high-ranking military officers, holding command positions such as general or chiliarch. Alexander the Great appointed Peucestas as eighth somatophylax after the siege of Malli.

So I'm headed down to Long Beach in a little over a week. I am staying at the Westin, and don't have much of transportation while down there. But I need some help trying to find a god brewery close or a few, the more the better! And I am also looking for a beer market near by aswell, something with a good selection of bottled beer, maybe Dogfish Head? Thank you very much, I hope to hear all your inputs and ideas! Thank you!
This is too late, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to post since other people might be interested in the future. There is a gastropub in Belmont Shore area of Long Beach called Tavern On 2 that has a good selection of belgian ales. Their food is okay. They opened a little less than a year ago and I have only visited once. Congregation Ale House (downtown) also has a stellar selection of beer and also serves food. I visited for the first time earlier this week and I do expect to go back soon. I'd recommend. Breweries, there is Rock Bottom Brewery in Downtown that has a good selection of microbrews. I have been here quite a few times. Their brews are a hit and miss, but overall I would say it's worth checking out. Belmont Brewing is also in Belmont Shore and they have a fantastic stout called "Crude." A couple of my stout enthusiast friends really do love it. As for markets, I highly recommend California Heights Market in Northern Long Beach. It's kind of a small market so it doesn't seem like much, but once you step inside you'll see it jammed packed full of various beers. Best selection in town in my opinion. It's the only place I have found in South Bay that hasn't given me the run around with Pliny The Elder (kind of a hard find). The first time I went there and asked if they had it, the clerk smiled and got it for me from the back. The only problem is it's a bit of a distance from the Westin, so if you have a rental or ride I'd say go for it. As for markets in Downtown, I can't really help you there because I spend most of my time on the other side of town.

In-mast furler; to buy or not to buy;

Rep Power:
For the past 2+ years I've been living with my first in-mast furling mainsail. There are plusses and minuses, to be sure. That said, I think some of the more vociferous criticism seems to come from people who don't actually have the system. Here's my take on it, FWIW:
1. You definitely lose some performance, both because of size and also because of roach. It's not nearly as bad as it is being made out here. We have vertical battens, so we don't have negative roach. I wouldn't say we have too much roach at all, but it's there. The lack of sail area is something though. It's hard to "measure" because I haven't pulled our rig and replaced it with a standard mast and mainsail to figure out exactly how much more weatherly we would be, but it is my sense that we're not pointing as high or are as fast as I expect at times, and I'm attributing that to the main (because it certainly can't be my fault!).
2. You do have plenty of sail controls with an in-mast furling main. They are just different from a conventional main and you have to learn that. You certainly can have a cunningham, though granted most don't seem to be equipped that way. Likewise, you can effect draft with the outhaul and furling line. I have to say, you actually have a little bit more control and I can get my furling mainsail flatter than any other mainsail I've had. By playing the furling line, outhaul, vang and sheet, you can push, pull and stretch the sail just about any way you want it. If someone thinks there's a sail control for a main that you can't apply with a furling main, please speak up (seriously), as I'd be curious to see if I could pull it off.
3. I've taken ours offshore, and it has never given us a moment's problem. This was my BIGGEST concern about going to a furling main. I was very concerned about reliability, and what do I do if the main gets stuck halfway out (can't get it in, can't get it out to drop it). That fear still remains somewhat, but our system hasn't come close to giving us a problem on that front. Though the lines are led to winches, I have yet to be unable to furl or deploy the sail by hand. I probably just jinxed myelf, but there you have it.
4. The ease of use just can't be beat. CruisingDad one time advised me that we'll use our mainsail more because it's easier to use and put away. He was so right, and then some. Not only is it easier to use, but from a safety and performance standpoint, I am MUCH more likely to reef early, shake out a reef, adjust draft, etc., because it's so easy. The worst thing about changing gears with this thing is that it's too easy so I feel compelled to do it, yet I still have to put down my beer to make it happen, whereas with a traditional main I had the excuse of it being a hassle, so I could just keep on sippin'.
5. As I mentioned, we've had ours for about 2.5 years, and we don't see any more wear and tear than I would expect from a traditional main. And that includes some offshore trips with constant use. I'm not sure I see the point some make about the sail getting more wear because it's rolled. I sure don't seem to be experiencing that.
6. You do go through telltales. We seem to need to replace them every year, and sometimes in-season. I guess they don't tolerate getting rolled up too well.
As to the point some have made about requiring that everything on the boat be susceptible to being handled by one person alone, I'm not sure I'm buying that at all, and you would be concluding that a very large percentage of boats out there shouldn't be sailed because they require crew. FWIW (I know, "nothing"), I pretty much singlehand our boat all the time, but there in fact are some things with which I need help. I don't think that means our boat is "too big," but I guess others may disagree.

Toolbox for simplifying Boolean equations
Minimize, simplify and reduce Boolean equations and digital logic circuits with this straightforward application.
Tutors and students for logic and computer programming will find this application for minimizing, simplifying and reducing Boolean equations and digital logic circuits a handy box of tools for increasing understanding.
Simple Solver launches a rather plain but functional interface. The large, mostly empty window includes a selection of buttons and check boxes accompanying two medium-size panes or sections, depending on the process being performed. The two panes or sections serve as an editor for inputting equations or criteria and for displaying output from the processes performed on the specified equations. The lack of clutter on the interface provides clarity that helps focus the user's attention on the app's operations--flashy colors and intricate designs don't affect the black-and-white facts of mathematics.
This free toolbox performed very well during our tests. It responded quickly to all our clicks and commands. We liked the array of example equations built into Simple Solver, which provide tutors a nice basis for exploring Boolean equations, the permutation function, random numbers, the simulation function, and the synthesis function. Selecting a process to run was a very straightforward matter of choosing a check box: minimize, invert and minimize, truth table, sort names, and show only last for Boolean processes, and similar simple choices for the other processes. We also liked that we could print either the input or output, allowing teachers to build a study guide or test very easily. We wished we could save items in more formats other than just text, but at least text-formatted files can be converted to other formats.

Neither my wife nor I are jewelry snobs, aside from her wedding ring, my wife doesn't really own any precious jewelry at all. As an anniversary/V-day/push present, I decided to splurge and get her this ($215 is quite a lot for us). She opened it and her reaction was "its....nice. No really, I..like it." Followed by "the diamonds...they look funny". The other reviews that say the diamonds are cloudy are accurate, they are. It IS a nice looking piece of jewelry, but you just be prepared for the diamonds to be grey and dull. If that fact doesn't phase you, go for it. The way that the stones are set in the metal makes it appear very nice regardless. So, both the positive and negative reviews are accurate...it's nice looking but the diamond aren't great. At the end of the day, my wife said that she'd probably have been more happy with a piece of unique handmade jewelry off of Etsy. Since you can get something that looks pretty cool off of there for $40-$60, she didn't have to twist my are to just return the bracelet and go that route instead.
this bracelet broke under light use twice in the same place.it was replaced once. it looks nice, my wife liked it, but now i can only return it for a partial refund. useless. takes the joy out of a anniversary gift.
probably one of the most disappointing product purchased off overstock. not at all the quality expected. Very cheesy diamonds with a white fog and no cut at all. Returned the product as soon as i opened it/girlfriend hated it as well. I do not recommend this product to anyone, your wasting your time and money.
Product met all the description details in the Overstock summary and was delivered on time Great quality for the price
This bracelet was nice, but the diamonds were cloudy. I certainly understand that for a tennis bracelet to contain all high quality clear diamonds the price would be much more expensive than the cost of this bracelet. However, I just wasn't happy with the purchase for that reason. I would prefer to get higher quality fake diamonds than these diamonds that were real, yet cloudy.
The diamonds were all dull; if you are expecting even just a little sparkle you will need to look somewhere else.
Just received it. It s a gift for my girlfriend and I think she will be very surprise. Nice quality and very georgous.
This is one great purchase I did at overstock. I order often with them and never got any disapointment yet. This bracelet is no exception. Its perfect in every way. I love it.

Afghan President Karzai's angry ultimatums have parallels in post-colonial Africa
(Read article summary)After the massacre of 16 Afghan civilians by a US Army sergeant, Afghan President Karzai told the US to speed up withdrawal. Post-colonial experience from Africa suggests that US departure may not be pretty.
Scott Olson/Reuters
It's been a rough few weeks for the US-Afghan relationship.
First, some NATO soldiers were found to have burned copies of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, in an open trash heap. That sparked riots that killed more than 30. Then, last week, a US Army sergeant went off his base in Kandahar Province and murdered 16 Afghan civilians.
Small surprise, then, that Afghan President Hamid Karzai issued the US military an ultimatum. Though very few believe Karzai when he says it's time for the US to go, this may be the last straw for Afghanistan. The world has seen this type of thing before: There are strong parallels between Karzai's warnings and those of post-colonial leaders toward their European colonizers in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Meeting with US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Kabul, Karzai reportedly told Mr. Panetta that US-led international forces should "be withdrawn from villages and relocated in their bases."
"We're ready to take over all security responsibilities now," Karzai reportedly told Panetta, according to Karzai's spokesman Aimal Faizi, as reported by Agence France-Presse. "We'd prefer that the process be completed in 2013, not 2014."

David Dummit and Hershy Kisilevsky observed from calculation that the Legendre symbols (p/q) and (q/p) are unequal for rather more than a quarter of the pairs of odd primes p and q with pq<=x, during some calculations. In fact almost 30% of the pq's up to a million satisfy p=q=3 mod 4. Together we found that this is no accident and that the bias up to x is roughly 1 +1/3(loglog x-1). This is a much stronger bias than the traditional "prime race" problem. When doing the math one finds that this problems about pq's is equivalent to the prime race problem, for primes =3 mod 4 versus those =1 mod 4, in which we weight each prime by its reciprocal.
