Chapter 8: Ionic and Metallic Bonding
The red crystals above are called rhodochrosite. Most of the best specimens of this striking gemstone, including the one in the photo, have been found in central Colorado. What are the properties of crystals? How are the atoms or ions that make up crystals arranged? What is responsible for the beautiful colors of minerals and gems? This chapter will reveal the answers to these questions, as you learn about the composition and properties of ionic compounds and of pure metals. In an ionic crystalline solid, positive and negative ions are arranged in an orderly, repeating fashion. The colors are contributed by various amounts of transition metal ions in the crystals. The red color of rhodochrosite comes from manganese(II) carbonate, MnCO3. Metals also have a crystalline structure, which contribute to the familiar properties of metals like malleability and electrical conductivity. We begin with a detailed look at how ions form.

Photoshop Cs6

Well I'm slowly starting to get the hang of my new laptop and Windows 7. I've also started working through my photoshop cs5 lessons. I am working on how to use styles. The instructor mentions a WOW Chrome preset. I know how to find the different styles that come with photoshop but not this one. I tried googling it but now much luck. What exactly are WOW styles and where can they be found in cs6? Thanks for any help.
Posted 13 June 2012 - 04:06 PM
They may be on a CD that came with the lessons. I know the books I had for CS2 came with them.

Yup - April is right! The Wow books usually come with a CD of extra styles and goodies. If you have the CD, you can just install them on your computer or use them directly from thd CD. If you don't have the CD, maybe you can try e-mailing the publisher to see if there's a way to purchase them?
Let us know how you make out!

Thank you! The lessons were a download and I thought I downloaded all the files. I am going to try and contract the instructor and see what she says. If not I'll look into the styles April suggested.

There are many websites which offer free photoshop styles, brushes, patterns etc. Just google it!
Posted 14 June 2012 - 08:34 AM
I contacted and heard back from the instructor. She said she wrote the lessons a long time ago so couldn't remember which program she used to write them. She also didn't know that they didn't automatically come with PS like they do with PSE. Since these are just basic special FX lessons I won't worry about it. I mainly got the lessons to help get familiar with ps6.I just hadn't heard of WOW styles. Thanks again ladies .I love it here in the land of purple
Posted 14 June 2012 - 08:44 AM
There are enough styles here at Scrap Girls that I LOVE, I haven't needed to look elsewhere. So if you don't need those specific WOW ones to get through the lessons, you should have no problem finding a replacement from our boutique.

Posted 14 June 2012 - 04:23 PM
I have CS4 and I looked at the styles included, the good news is that they have some that are "hidden" from the casual observer. If you click on the styles panel and then the little 3 line with a triangle button on the upper right side of the panel, then a menu will pop up. You can choose from a list of default styles that won't show up if you just reset the styles. If you choose "Web Styles" from the list, there's a Chrome style...it's not called WOW, but I think you'll find it's adequate for what you need. If you can't find the little dropdown menu, post again and I'll make you a screen shot.
When you are finished with your lesson, check out the boutique because there are tons of really cool styles there. Once you start using them, there's no going back!
Hope that helps!

Yes I knew about the hidden styles. I just didn't know what the instructor was refering to. Since I had purchased the lessons as a download back in December. I didn't know if it was something I forgot to download. I worked on the lessons alittle more but so discovered they almost like the ones I did awhile back for cs. I had hope it would show me a little about how to use cs6. So I bought a book and should be here Saturday. After I get more familar with using cs6. I'll go back to these lessons and see if there is something new. Thanks for all your suggestions on what to use in place of the WOW styles.
Posted 14 June 2012 - 11:22 PM
I've never used the wow styles, and I doubt you'll miss them. In fact, the Scrap Girl who showed me how to work with styles suggested I remove them from PSE.

10 upcoming games I can't wait to play
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Action, Adventure, Bungie, E3, Editorial, Features, First Person Shooters, Microsoft, Nintendo, Platformers, PlayStation 4, Survival Horror, Wii U, Xbox One
This year, E3 had one of those showing that only happens once every 8-10 years. E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is the biggest video game conference in the world, and it's where game publishers show off what they're working on. E3 2014 was unique because it was the first one after the release of two major consoles--the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Developers got to show for the first time full portfolios dedicated to the new hardware, and it was glorious. There was a lot to see during both the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation media briefings, and Nintendo surprised many with game announcements of its own. I figured I'd whittle things down and share the ten games I was most excited about, in no particular order.

First next-gen screenshot of WWE 2K15 revealed
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Fighting, PlayStation 4, Screenshots, Sports, Xbox One
2K Games has released the first in-game screenshot of WWE 2K15. Initially tweeted by John Cena, the image shows WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Cena, staring down Randy Orton in the ring. As you can see, the visuals (at least here,) have been vastly improved. Not only are the character models sporting a more realistic look, but the focus blur is on-point as well. WWE 2K15 will be the first WWE title available for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and will also be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 when it's released on October 28 in North America (and October 31 internationally.) If you pre-order WWE 2K15 now, you get two playable Sting characters for free on launch day.
Update: 2K just announced the exclusive WWE 2k15 Hulkamania Edition!

Giveaway: Jawbone mini Jambox, UP24, Bodyguardz!
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Features, Music, Videos
It's summertime, and we've got a few items we're giving away to bring the fun to a whole new level. Courtesy of AT&T here in Seattle, we've got a Jawbone mini Jambox, Jawbone UP24, and a Bodyguardz tempered glass protective cover for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. Here's a little more on each item and why we think they're perfect for this Summer Bundle Giveaway:
- Jawbone mini Jambox: Okay, for real, who doesn't wanna have music with them when by the pool or at the beach? A lot of us have a seemingly unlimited amount of music accessible by our smartphones and tablets, and the mini Jambox allows you to stream it over Bluetooth. At the next family BBQ, you'll be the star of the show.
- Jawbone UP24: Fitness wearables are all the rage these days, and if you like tracking your stats or are looking for a motivational tool, then it's easy to see why. With the UP24, you can monitor your fitness throughout the day, and even track your calories and water intake. At night, it'll even keep track of how well you are sleeping, which is probably not well if you're out camping in a tent. The device connects to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth LE, so the battery lasts a full week, and there's no plugging anything in to sync.
- Bodyguardz Screenguardz Pure: I always thought it was kind of silly for people to protect their smartphone screens with a thin plastic film. The Screenguardz Pure is a super-thin piece of tempered glass that can actually take a real beating, and exceeds the hardness of steel. That's protection.
So, are you ready to enter to win some of that goodness? Simply use the widget below to keep track of your entries! Remember, if you're a Gear Live Patreon backer at any level, you get an extra 25 entries in this giveaway! We've got a lot of ways for you to enter even if you aren't, but don't check off any that you don't actually perform. If you do, you'll be eliminated:

Ok, I think I'm better now.
Not that my car is. I totaled it a month later cuz one morning I was in a hurry and didn't defrost the thing all the way. (Note to self - don't be in hurries.) I hit the tail end of the one truck that didn't have his lights on as I was pulling out of my apartment's driveway and that was pretty much the end of it (Civic hatchbacks always lose against F250's). Luckily I didn't hurt anyone. And no I didn't take pictures. So you can't have them. So there.
I guess actually enjoying my job for the next few months (I get to replace the network backbone at work with a metric buttload of Cisco equipment) will have to substitute for that love stuff for now.
Abcde is nearing 2.0. I wanted a usable 'id3v2 -c foo' and a standalone ogg commenter in my stocking for christmas, but all I got was a furby and a tonka truck (woops, those must be some other kid's... :>). Hopefully I'll be able to finish things with enough spare time to slip the thing into testing before woody freezes.
Thirteen Days was pretty cool. Go see it.
Oh, and if by some rare coincidence you're the guy who's singlehandedly put *.babewarehouse.com in the top fifty second level domains in our proxy server's statistics at work, The MIS Gestapo Is Watching You(tm). But if you come clean and admit to all of us you're a perv, we'll grant you leniency because you're cool enough to read Advogato. Then we'll laugh at you hysterically for a good hour or two and look at you really weird every time we see you in the hallway.

What great timing! Usually our Cutegreggator is just whatever animal has struck our fancy that week, but today we have actual precedent: The Bunny Olympics! Technically they're called the Rabbit Grand National, and they took place in the UK at the end of January. But BuzzFeed noticed these adorable photos of flop-eared cuties clearing jumps (with some help from their owners) and getting measured for optimal cuteness.

Does anybody know if AOTC is a U or a PG because some things that I have seen say it is a PG but lately some other things including my cinema listings guide say it's a U, someone please help!

"Giggety giggety!"
Jek Porky 2008
ATOC is a PG cert.
It was lucky to get that as it should have been a 12 cert. British Film Board cut a 1 second part of the film so that it could have a PG rating.
The cut scene was when Jango headbutts Obi Wan on Kamino.
It is the only SW film to have a PG as all the rest are U certs.
The listings guide you mentioned must have a mis-print.
TK6540 of the UK Garrison
Does this meen that the American version shows Jango's head butt?
"Giggety giggety!"
Jek Porky 2008
A headbutt? Why was that cut? There were lots of other more violent things in AOTC.
InGenOps - THE Jurassic Park & Dinosaur site on the internet!
InGenOps Community Forums
Yep. There was a head butt scene cut from AOTC. It is in the US version, but because of our British Film Board it was cut in UK cinemas.
I agree that there was more violent scenes, but a head chop with a lightsaber is not part of everyday life, unlike a head butt.
Like I say, the film would have been a 12 cert if this scene was included, but as it stood, the adverts did say "May be unsuitable for under 8's"
I downloaded the US version off the net a few weeks ago. I have put a clip of the scene below. Sorry, but the quality isn't great. Jango & Obi Wan can just about be made out. (Jango's on the left)
With a bit of luck it will be on the DVD version in October. But it should have been shown in the cinema as it was intended.

PA Voter ID Debate Continues
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The trial of Pennsylvania's tough new voter identification law is on hold until next week.
On Thursday, lawyers renewed their debate in Commonwealth Court over conflicting estimates of how many voters lack the mandatory photo ID that the law would require before recessing for a four-day weekend.
William Wecker, a statistician hired by the state, criticized the methodology of the plaintiffs' expert who estimated that hundreds of thousands of voter lack proper IDs.
Wecker, who's from Wyoming, testified that Philadelphia statistician Bernard Siskin overstated the number by failing to adequately consider voters who have died, moved out of state or are barred from voting because they are incarcerated felons.
On cross examination, a plaintiffs' attorney highlighted weaknesses in Wecker's own analysis. The nine-day-old trial is scheduled to resume Tuesday.

The Man Who Dreamed He Was A Beetle
|2:37:35 PM, Wednesday, April 06, 2011
"A sweet, sweet man died the other day and I'd like to think that beetles everywhere, big ones, little ones, speaking many different beetle languages, paused for a second and thought, "Oh, dear. That guy. He was our guy."
Tom Eisner loved bugs. He loved them as an infant, seeking them, "according to my parents, when I first stood on my feet." He was among the first scientists to notice that insects communicate not only by touching and dancing and by the markings on their bodies, they also send chemical signals. Bugs talk in chemicals. And Tom, with his Cornell colleague Jerrold Meinwald, helped invent a field called Ecological Chemistry that cracked the chemical codes that drive bugs to court each other, fight each other, and give each other gifts.
Bugs were his protectors. He was shy. Born Jewish in Germany, he and his family fled to Spain, then to France, then on to Uruguay. In Montevideo, where he grew up, bullies stalked him, but then he figured out he could safely put a particularly poisonous caterpillar on his hand because it had no poisons on its belly. He plopped two of them on his little fists and displayed them like boxing gloves. The tough kids (and in tropical Uruguay, boys know their toxic insects) were amazed. Suddenly, Tom remembered, "I was in command."
Years later, in Massachusetts, he was searching under a rock and heard beetles making strange hissing sounds. Tom, wondering what they were, but with hands full, popped one in his mouth and was startled when it suddenly hurled a hot wad of something against his inner cheek. Turns out he had met his first Bombardier beetle — the same one Darwin had popped in his mouth many years before. Tom, checking closely, discovered this beetle was manufacturing a kind of rocket fuel (a boiling combination of hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone at 212 degrees Fahrenheit) which it fired from a machine gun like rotating turret mounted on the tip of its abdomen..."
Sex After a Field Trip Yields Scientific First
|12:31:38 PM, Wednesday, April 06, 2011
"A U.S. vector biologist appears to have accidentally written virological history simply by having sex with his wife after returning from a field trip to Senegal. A study just released in Emerging Infectious Diseases suggests that the researcher, Brian Foy of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, passed to his wife the Zika virus, an obscure pathogen that causes joint pains and extreme fatigue. If so, it would be the first documented case of sexual transmission of an insect-borne disease.
Foy is the first author of the paper, which describes three anonymous patients. But in an interview with Science, he confirmed that he is the anonymous "patient 1"; his Ph.D. student Kevin Kobylinski, who accompanied him on the trip to Senegal and also got sick, is "patient 2." Foy's wife, Joy Chilson Foy, a nurse at the Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, is "patient 3"; she is also a co-author of the paper.
Exactly what happened when Foy and Kobylinski returned from Senegal on 24 August 2008 has remained a mystery for years. As part of their research on malaria, the scientists had been collecting mosquitoes in a southeastern village called Bandafassi, where they were often bitten. About 5 days after their return, both researchers got sick. Both had a rash on their torso, extreme fatigue, headaches, and swollen and painful wrists, knees, and ankles. Foy also had symptoms of prostatitis, including painful urination, and he and his wife noticed what looked like blood in his semen, according to the paper.
On 3 September, Foy's wife's fell ill as well, with malaise, chills, extreme headache, hypersensitivity to light, and muscle pains. The couple's four children remained healthy. The symptoms started receding within about a week in all three patients, although the joint pains lingered.
The scientists suspected they were infected through one of their many mosquito bites but were stumped as to the pathogen. So were several laboratories, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), whose lab for insect-borne diseases is in Fort Collins. Antibody tests on serum samples from the two scientists tested positive for dengue, a viral disease that might have explained the symptoms, but samples from Chilson Foy came back negative. "Eventually, the CDC said, 'We think you had dengue, but we don't know what your wife had,' " says Foy, who decided to keep samples from all three in the freezer.
The mystery might never have been solved if Kobylinski hadn't gone out for a few beers with Andrew Haddow, a medical entomologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston, during another trip to Senegal more than a year later. Haddow, who studies how pathogens survive in the jungle and emerge when humans encroach, had a great personal interest in Zika: His grandfather, Alexander Haddow, was one of three scientists who had isolated the virus from a rhesus monkey in the Zika Forest near Entebbe, Uganda, in 1947 and described it in a paper in 1952. "I read all of my grandfather's papers, so that stuff really interests me," Haddow says..."
Japanese Nuclear Engineers Plug Fukushima Leak
|12:03:29 PM, Wednesday, April 06, 2011
"Workers stem flow of radioactive water into sea using mixture of sawdust, newspaper, concrete and a type of liquid glass.
Engineers battling to contain the crisis at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant appeared to have turned an important corner last night after they stopped highly radioactive water from leaking into the ocean from one of the facility's crippled reactors.
Workers struggling to halt the leaks successfully used a mixture of sawdust, newspaper, concrete and a type of liquid glass to stem the flow of contaminated water near a seaside pit, said the plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco).
Earlier efforts involving cement, an absorbent polymer and rags were unsuccessful in plugging the leak, which was discovered on Saturday, while radiation of more than 7.5 million times the legal limit for seawater was found just off the earthquake-hit plant.
In a sign of Tepco's desperation, it breached its own regulations on Monday by beginning an intentional discharge of 11,500 tonnes of less contaminated water into the Pacific to make space for the highly radioactive liquid that was seeping out in an uncontrolled manner.
The company still needs to pump contaminated water into the sea because of a lack of storage space at the plant and will continue to release the 11,500 tonnes of low-level radioactive water until Friday. "The leaks were slowed yesterday after we injected a mixture of liquid glass and a hardening agent and it has now stopped," a Tepco spokesman told Reuters..."

How A Big US Bank Laundered Billions From Mexico's Murderous Drug Gangs
|11:41:20 PM, Tuesday, April 05, 2011
"As the violence spread, billions of dollars of cartel cash began to seep into the global financial system. But a special investigation by the Observer reveals how the increasingly frantic warnings of one London whistleblower were ignored.
On 10 April 2006, a DC-9 jet landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico, as the sun was setting. Mexican soldiers, waiting to intercept it, found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100m. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.
During a 22-month investigation by agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and others, it emerged that the cocaine smugglers had bought the plane with money they had laundered through one of the biggest banks in the United States: Wachovia, now part of the giant Wells Fargo.
The authorities uncovered billions of dollars in wire transfers, traveller's cheques and cash shipments through Mexican exchanges into Wachovia accounts. Wachovia was put under immediate investigation for failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering programme. Of special significance was that the period concerned began in 2004, which coincided with the first escalation of violence along the US-Mexico border that ignited the current drugs war.
Criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia, though not against any individual, but the case never came to court. In March 2010, Wachovia settled the biggest action brought under the US bank secrecy act, through the US district court in Miami. Now that the year's "deferred prosecution" has expired, the bank is in effect in the clear. It paid federal authorities $110m in forfeiture, for allowing transactions later proved to be connected to drug smuggling, and incurred a $50m fine for failing to monitor cash used to ship 22 tons of cocaine.
More shocking, and more important, the bank was sanctioned for failing to apply the proper anti-laundering strictures to the transfer of $378.4bn – a sum equivalent to one-third of Mexico's gross national product – into dollar accounts from so-called casas de cambio (CDCs) in Mexico, currency exchange houses with which the bank did business..."
Plans For World's Most Powerful Rocket Unveiled
|7:54:46 PM, Tuesday, April 05, 2011
"The private rocket company SpaceX says its next rocket will be the most powerful in the world.
The new rocket, called the Falcon Heavy, is designed to carry up to about twice as much weight as a NASA space shuttle can take to orbit. It's expected to be at the launchpad at the end of next year for its first flight, with the launch likely coming in 2013.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described his company's new rocket during a press conference in Washington, D.C. He says it will be able to take about 117,000 pounds to orbit.
"So that is really, really humongous," says Musk. "It's more payload capability than any vehicle in history, apart from the Saturn V."
The Saturn V was NASA's moon rocket and was decommissioned after the Apollo program ended. Musk said the Falcon Heavy has about half the lifting capability of the Saturn V.
"So in principle, you could do another mission to the moon, just by doing two launches of a Falcon Heavy," says Musk. He also described possible missions to an asteroid, or an unmanned mission to collect samples of rocks from Mars and return them to Earth.
SpaceX is one of a number of companies that have been angling to carry cargo — and someday, astronauts — for NASA now that the space shuttle is being retired this year.
SpaceX has already had two successful flights of its smaller Falcon 9 rocket and successfully returned its Dragon space capsule from orbit. Musk says the Falcon Heavy has also been designed with NASA's standards for human spaceflight in mind. Each launch of the Falcon Heavy will cost $80 million to $125 million..."

Space Junk Threatening International Space Station, 3 Residents
|1:50:37 PM, Tuesday, April 05, 2011
"A small piece of space junk drifted dangerously close to the International Space Station on Tuesday, prompting NASA to order the three astronauts to seek shelter in their attached capsule.
Mission Control gave the order after determining there was not enough time to steer the orbiting outpost away from the space junk.
The debris — about 6 inches — is from a Chinese satellite that was deliberately destroyed in 2007 as part of a weapons test. It was projected to pass within three miles of the space station, warranting a red threat level, NASA's highest.
Just last Friday, the space station had to move out of the way of an orbiting remnant from a two-satellite collision in 2009.
Debris is an increasingly serious problem in orbit, because of colliding and destroyed spacecraft. At 5 miles a second, damage can be severe, even from something several inches big. Decompression, in fact, is at the top of any spacefarers' danger list.
More than 12,500 pieces of debris are orbiting Earth — and those are the ones big enough to track.
Mission Control notified the crew of the latest threat Tuesday morning, a few hours after the risk was identified. The three crew members are Dmitry Kondratyev, the station's Russian commander, American Catherine Coleman and Italian Paolo Nespoli.
The orbit of the space junk is extremely erratic, and there's quite a bit of atmospheric drag on it, said NASA spokesman Josh Byerly. Experts monitored the debris into the early afternoon, to determine its exact path, and later told the crew that they might not have to close themselves off in the Soyuz spacecraft. The threat level, however, remained red..."
ScienceShot: Green Eggs and Salamanders
|11:35:49 AM, Tuesday, April 05, 2011
-- "It might sound like something out of a Dr. Seuss story, but biologists have long told tales of the green eggs of the spotted salamander. Ambystoma maculatum lays its brood in ponds each spring up and down North America. These marble-sized gelatinous sacs quickly turn green (bottom left and top right images) as photosynthesizing algae grow around the developing embryo and feast on its waste. In turn, the embryo enjoys the oxygen produced by the algae. Now scientists have discovered that the algae gets a little closer than they thought. Using long-exposure imaging, the researchers detected algal fluorescence (main image) inside the developing salamander. This is the first case of an algae living symbiotically within a vertebrate, the team reports online today in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. How the photosynthesizing algae gets there, and how it survives inside the tissues and cells of this predominantly nocturnal amphibian is still baffling to scientists. But one thing's for sure, the discovery means rewriting textbooks to add salamanders to a short list of organisms, including coral and bacteria, that form symbiotic relationships with plants."

Paper, Plastic, or Steel?
|9:13:26 AM, Tuesday, April 05, 2011
"The ancient Chinese art of paper folding is probably not in most people's minds when rushing to bag their groceries. But engineers have now built a foldable grocery bag from steel (go ahead, load it with soda bottles!) using an origami-inspired design that could help speed up factory packaging processes. The technique may eventually lead to buildings that can change shape at the push of button.
"Origami engineers" build a variety of objects by folding sheets of rigid material along set creases. In the past, they have used the technique to create foldable solar panels, for use in space, that can be quickly and easily packed into a small volume for transport in shuttles. Now, origami engineers Zhong You and Weina Wu of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom have tackled a more down-to-earth problem: whether a tall shopping bag built from a rigid material or an open-topped cardboard box could ever be folded flat like a traditional grocery bag without having to open its bottom.
The question is important in the packaging industry where, currently, cardboard boxes can only be flat packed if both their top and their base are left open, You explains. "If you have moved house, you know how much time is wasted constructing the base of the box before you can put anything in it, and it's even worse on a factory assembly line," he says. "Making cardboard boxes that can be folded flat, even with their base in place, will speed up automated packaging in factories."
In 2004, mathematician Erik Demaine of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and his colleagues proposed a theoretical pattern of origami creases that could be set into a tall bag made from something more rigid than paper and allow the bag to be folded flat. The bag could never be made in practice, however, because it required infinitely thin material. Now You and Wu have come up with an alternative crease pattern, which adds a number of extra creases to the traditional pattern used in conventional paper grocery bags. They successfully constructed a prototype of a bag made from a number of stainless steel plates, stuck on to a light, flexible plastic sheet. The edges where the plates meet serve as "creases," along which the bag can be bent. The steel bag can be collapsed down as flat as a standard paper grocery bag (see picture). "We used steel because if it works for that, it will work for less-rigid materials," You says. The pair are now discussing their design—published online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A—with carton manufacturers..."

UN Uses Attack Helicopters in Ivory Coast
|8:44:45 PM, Monday, April 04, 2011
"ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast – The United Nations and French forces opened fire with attack helicopters Monday on the arsenal of this country's entrenched ruler, as columns of Ivorian fighters allied with his challenger finally pierced the city limit.
The fighters aiming to topple strongman Laurent Gbagbo after a decade in power had succeeded in taking nearly the entire countryside in just three days last week, but they faltered once they reached the country's largest city, where the presidential palace and residence are located.
Monday's offensive marked an unprecedented escalation in the international community's efforts to oust Gbagbo, who lost the presidential election in November yet has refused to cede power to Alassane Ouattara even as the world's largest cocoa producer teetered on the brink of all-out civil war.
The postelection violence has left hundreds dead — most of them Ouattara supporters — and has forced up to 1 million people to flee. Ouattara has used his considerable international clout to financially and diplomatically suffocate Gbagbo and pro-Ouattara forces before launching a dramatic military assault last week.
On Monday, the U.N. fired on the Akouedo military base at around 5 p.m. local time (1700 GMT) to prevent Gbagbo's forces from using heavy weapons against civilians, said the spokesman for the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations Nick Birnback.
Explosions resonated from the city's downtown core a few blocks from the presidential palace and near the base of the republican guard, and those living nearby barricaded their windows with mattresses. Flames could be seen licking the sky above the home of the staunchly pro-Gbagbo republican guard.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said in a statement that he had authorized the 1,600-strong French Licorne force based here to help in the operation following an appeal from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who said that the use of force was necessary to prevent further attacks on civilians..."
Genetically Modified Cows Produce 'Human' Milk
|5:00:28 PM, Monday, April 04, 2011
"The scientists have successfully introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows to produce milk with the same properties as human breast milk.
Human milk contains high quantities of key nutrients that can help to boost the immune system of babies and reduce the risk of infections.
The scientists behind the research believe milk from herds of genetically modified cows could provide an alternative to human breast milk and formula milk for babies, which is often criticised as being an inferior substitute.
They hope genetically modified dairy products from herds of similar cows could be sold in supermarkets. The research has the backing of a major biotechnology company.
The work is likely to inflame opposition to GM foods. Critics of the technology and animal welfare groups reacted angrily to the research, questioning the safety of milk from genetically modified animals and its effect on the cattle's health.
But Professor Ning Li, the scientist who led the research and director of the State Key Laboratories for AgroBiotechnology at the China Agricultural University insisted that the GM milk would be as safe to drink as milk from ordinary dairy cows.
He said: "The milk tastes stronger than normal milk.
"We aim to commercialize some research in this area in coming three years. For the "human-like milk", 10 years or maybe more time will be required to finally pour this enhanced milk into the consumer's cup."
China is now leading the way in research on genetically modified food and the rules on the technology are more relaxed than those in place in Europe..."

After having a bookmark for SitePoint.com for about 3 years now, I am featured in an interview on the site. They are a little more commercial centric, and that's an area of marketing that many OS CMS's seem to miss.
There is way too much back biting in the OS CMS world, when the real target of opportunity is the commercial CMS's. I do have a friendly relationship with Dries of Drupal and Mark of Tiki, but beyond that, there isn't much of an sense of community within the OS CMS market. Perhaps I am the unfriendly one;) My critics would call me worse, I suppose.
Xaraya .9.0.6 was our first security related release.

This one wasn't so bad, and actually was fixed with six lines of code, but it warrented release. Not a bad response either; less than 20 hours with a fix and a new package straight from the BK tree, instead of from a branch.

There are no excuses for it," Fasano said after the first two fumbles of his pro career. "I just have to concentrate better and hold onto the ball. It's something our team depends on, and that's not turning over the ball." Add in a third-quarter Pennington interception in Falcons territory, and the Dolphins committed a whopping four turnovers to the Falcons' none.
This from a team that made just 13 turnovers in 2008, a figure so low it tied the NFL record in a 16-game regular season. Of those, just six were lost fumbles.
"We have to take care of the football," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "I mean, that's our job. You're the ball carrier in this offense, you're going to take care of the football - period."

It is hard to pass judgement on Obama, as he has not had one budget pass yet. What he says he wants, and what he gets will hopefully be very different. One comforting thought perhaps....Democratic congresses have never "rubber stamped" their president's policies. Clinton didn't get what he wanted, even with his majority congress for two years. As where the GOP tends to all be on the exact same page, and you can turn to any radio station or congressional office and hear the exact same fervor for proposed policies, the Dems tend to be more independent thinkers and therefore infight much more, and get less accomplished. Remember, W didn't have but TWO vetoes in his entire 8 years!! And they came well after his lame-duck period started. Even after Dems took both houses in '06, he got every budget and supplemental spending bill passed w/o trouble.
As for budgets, remember also, Bush inherited a $5 trillion national debt. In 8 years of his budgets, he left our current president $11 Trillion. We had to add another digit to the national debt ticker on his watch and budget.
I'm no fan of Obama, but we're not in this mess because of his 6 months in office, in all impartial fairness.
I used to be a Republican, but in my life, under the names Reagan and Bush, 8 of the 11 trillion dollars were added to the debt. Five trillion in only the last 8 years!! As a fiscal conservative, I have NO PARTY to call home! As someone who has to pay not only my bills each month, now me, my children and grandchildren will be paying Mr. Bush's credit card bills he ran up on OUR tab.
We need Ross Perot!

Waldorf Microwave XT
The Microwave XT is a great big orange polyphonic rackmount synthesizer. While combining the power of the Wave and the compact design of Waldorf's Microwave II, the XT adds a bit of knob-laden heaven. At first glance the top section completely resembles the 2-space rackmount version of the Microwave II. And then there are three more rack-spaces full of knobs and lots of knobs means lots of control.
As far as enhancements, the XT model has 20-bit DSP functions but that's about it. Its true power and features lie in the 44 hands-on knobs which make editing in real-time quick, easy and perfect for performance and studio work. All of the knobs transmit MIDI information as well!
The Synthesizer engine is relatively the same as the Microwave II and Wave synths that came before it. Digital wavetable synthesis and FM synthesis in which there are 64 waves that are mixed and combined into new sounds. The Microwave XT can easily emulate the sounds of the PPG wavetable synths as well as create squelchy acid-303 lines or boomy Moog bass. Also onboard is a nice arpeggiator, digital effects and more. The Microwave XT is definitely a powerful rackmount synth that can generate some highly unique and quality sounds. It is used by Nine Inch Nails, Danny Tenaglia, Underworld, Astral Projection, The Crystal Method, Mirwais, and Cirrus.

Currently, engineering analysis of stress and thermal effects in structures is typically performed in isolation from the analysis of fluid flow phenomena, despite the impact of flow-induced forces and heat transfer on a structure and the impact of a structure on the fluid. The Fluent-ABAQUS initiative will provide engineers with easy-to-use tools that will take into account these important coupling effects including sophisticated simulation of nonlinear structural responses.

The CFX Team in Germany was recently approached by a customer faced with the need to deliver his products to an ever-increasing number of clients, in a limited delivery period (one night). At his disposal is a single delivery vehicle, and the propulsion for the delivery vehicle is fixed at 9 RP (Reindeer Power). Therefore, reduced aerodynamic drag could lead to significant increases in vehicle speed, and consequently allow delivery to be made in the required time.

High-pressure food processing, using pressures between 1 and 10 kbar, permits preservation of aroma and vitamins, improvement of textural and sensory properties, and removal of harmful bacteria. The process must be carefully monitored, however, as localized variations in pressure or temperature can significantly influence the removal of bacteria. The process must therefore be uniform, especially in the health-sensitive field of microbial inactivation.
At TU Münchens Chair of Fluid Mechanics and Process Control, we are investigating the effect of the fluid dynamics on bacteria during high-pressure food processing. Our research focuses on a 6.3-litre high-pressure chamber that is used to pressurize liquid food contained in five packages, placed on different shelves in the chamber. The chamber is filled with a pressure transferring liquid (in our case water) until the desired pressure level (4 kbar) is reached. The pressure is maintained for about 20 minutes - the time needed to kill the bacteria.
Since experimental methods for investigation at very high pressures, especially for industrial chambers, are not readily available, we have chosen CFD as a means to investigate scale-up and non-uniformity.

My girlfriend alerted me to a very interesting article from the Sept 17 issue of the Saint Petersburg [FL] Times entitled "Debunking the week's rumors".
One thing that caught my eye in the article and which I found extremely disturbing follows:
I'm not sure what to think of this. If it's true, it seriously damages CNN's credibility (what little remained after being taken over by AOL).The CNN footage of the Palestinians dancing in the street was shot in 1991. CNN says that footage was forwarded to it by the Associated Press and Reuters, and it was dated Sept. 11, 2001. The network assumes that's correct. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who condemned the terrorist attack, reportedly attributed any celebrations to a small band of children.

The federal NDP critic slammed the latest round of cuts at CFS St. John's on Thursday, with a Department of National Defence (DND) spokesman saying local military positions will also be eliminated.
"I'm very disappointed to see them downsizing the workforce here at Canadian Forces Station
St. John's," said NDP member of Parliament Jack Harris on Thursday.
"I think it's just responding to a demand by the government of the Conservatives to try to save money wherever they possibly, possibly can, regardless of the consequences. … I don't think there's a justification for it."
Six Canadian Forces station employees — clerical and warehouse staff, and a vehicle mechanic — received notices Wednesday their jobs were being cut, said Jeannie Baldwin, regional executive vice-president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
"(Prime Minister Stephen) Harper doesn't believe in a strong public service. He's made that quite clear," said Baldwin.
"We as Canadians depend on quality public services. It's about our senior citizens, it's about our veterans, it's about making sure that food and the water we drink is safe. It's about safe transportation. It's about environment. — All those things are very critical to us as Canadians and this government is just eroding the very fabric that Canada was built on."
The workers have been noted their jobs are no longer required, and they have two years to find a new job. They'll work in the meantime while looking for another placement with the federal government in Newfoundland.
"(But) Federal government jobs within the Newfoundland region, they're very scarce," she said.
"We've been hit in the Newfoundland region with a lot of downsizing within the Newfoundland government." If nothing is found, the employees will have to find work elsewhere.
Baldwin noted five food-service workers at the station were let go last fall, only to see the Department of National Defence contract out the work they had been doing.
"We know that when you contract out the work, it's more expensive, and it should be kept in-house," she said.
"This government has been gouging federal government jobs out of the Atlantic region, especially the Newfoundland region."
Harris said the government continues to pursue expensive procurement plans, but basic services and jobs are being cut.
"They're just being treated as if they don't matter," he said.
"I believe that Canadians are getting wise to the fact that this government doesn't have concern for the stability of people's lives, and is quite happy to see them in precarious situations, and this is an example of it."
A request for an interview with a representative from the Department of National Defence was declined. An emailed statement from a department spokesman said consolidating CFS St. John's into its new complex will help the department save money.
"The consolidation of CFS
St. John's and its lodger units to the newly constructed DND complex will result in significant cost savings to taxpayers," reads the email, which indicates another position will be cut, bringing the total civilian job cuts to seven in the next two years.
"In addition, 33 military positions will be reallocated and military members occupying the affected positions will be posted to other CAF locations," says the email.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Marnie Stern doesn't take home this honor every year. (That would make us look lazy.) But she could. Dammit, she could. She certainly could've taken the prize in 2013, following the splendid guitar-shred clinic The Chronicles of Marnia, which put the blazing glory of her finger-tap style on full display. This year she had no new music on offer, which only made us realize we missed her and the perfectly precise, high-note-heavy scrum she has mastered. No new album didn't mean we couldn't watch those lightning-fast fingers in action; Marnie has become a regular stand-in on Late Night With Seth Meyers with the 8G Band, jamming with Fred Armisen and filling in when he's off shooting Portlandia. There you'll find her — albeit in short bursts — mowing down non-believers with six strings of straight-up fury.
On the breezy morning of July 22, 2014, there was something a little odd about the American flags that fly from the twin towers of the Brooklyn Bridge: They were gone, replaced with bleached-out white ones. The incident whipped police and politicians into a frenzy. Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams went so far as to call it a "terrorist act," offering a $5,000 reward out of his own pocket for information leading to the capture of the flag-swappers. Which made it all the better when two German artists, Mischa Leinkauf and Matthias Wermke, revealed three weeks later that they were behind the stunt, which they told the New York Times they'd intended as a salute to "the beauty of public space" and the memory of the bridge's designer, engineer John Roebling, a German émigré who died on July 22, 1869. (They pair returned the American flags soon after, properly folded.) The cops still seem steamed, vowing to work with Interpol to bring the two men back to New York to face criminal charges, but seen in a different light, the entire incident is delightful. Who among us doesn't enjoy a steaming froth of righteous indignation every now and then? More to the point, it proved New York can still be a wild place, susceptible to daring stunts and true mystery. Not only has it been the best thing to happen here this year — it just may be the best game of Capture the Flag, ever.
OK, a train ride to Yonkers seems a little daunting, but one sip of the "Maker's Mark Milk Punch Shake" at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will melt away any of your misgivings. It's high time this theater chain made its way to the New York area — the original Austin location has been kicking butt since 1997. With 4K and 135mm projection, online reserved seating, an auditorium layout that eliminates the dreaded front row, and a brilliantly curated programming slate filled with quirky events — think: movie quote– and sing-alongs, films set to live musical scores, classic movie screenings, and special guest appearances — the experience more than makes up for the Metro-North ride requirement.
As Manhattan continues its transformation into a high-end, city-themed shopping mall, we take our joy where we can find — and afford — it. An awful lot of our favorite things are crammed into the square mile between Astor Place and Canal Street: Chinatown, for one, which stubbornly resists gentrification and which remains the best place in the city for a cheap, delicious meal. The same square mile also hosts the Angelika Film Center, our pick for Best Multiplex; Pearl River Mart, where we recommend you decorate your apartment from top to toe; plus a host of other essential spots, both high-culture and low-, pricey and dirt-cheap: McNally Jackson Books, the IFC Center, Great Jones Spa, the sleek, expensive pubs and boutiques of Elizabeth Street, and the glorious shouting chaos and counterfeit handbag vendors of Canal. (Also in the immediate vicinity: Xi'an Famous Foods, classic greasy-spoon diner Cup & Saucer, and the breathtaking Eldridge Street Synagogue.) It's a spot in the city that feels both cozy and glamorous, a place where we can tell ourselves that maybe New York is changing at a pace we can handle.
The biggest surprise about scrawny high schooler Kamala Khan's transformation into the latest incarnation of the long-running superhero Ms. Marvel was not that Khan is an American Muslim. Nor that she's the first Muslim character to headline a monthly Marvel comic book. Nor that, being a geek for superheroes herself, as she vaulted off for her first adventure with her new shape-shifting powers, she actually willed herself into the more standard mold of buxom blonde avenger. (Later on, she learned to be herself even when wearing a mask.) Nah, the surprise — besides the smart, funny, gorgeous, moving qualities of the comic itself, written by G. Willow Wilson and drawn by Adrian Alphona — is Khan's other first. Has there ever before been a major superhero from Jersey City? Here's to Ms. Marvel, protector of the sixth borough! Now, where's the movie?
It's the last day of the month, and you're king (or queen) of the world! You can do anything, buy anything! Then it's the first, and your bank account is down to $28.93, because you live in New York and you just paid the rent. Don't despair: You have just enough dough for a copy of the American Institute of Architects' AIA Guide to New York City. Written by Norval White, Elliot Willensky, and Fran Leadon and most recently updated in 2010, this fat little tome divides the city and its boroughs into walkable chunks, offering thumbnail observations about our most significant buildings — not just acknowledged treasures like William Van Alen's Chrysler Building, but also small, quirky gems like the adorable Italian Renaissance firehouse at 14 East 18th Street between Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Even if you don't know a cornice from a balconet, the AIA Guide will get you up to speed in no time. Your best revenge against the high cost of New York City living is to enjoy the metropolis in all its architectural glory. If you factor all that beauty in to the price of your rent, you're getting a bargain!

Carmella speaks on religion, common good, April 25
Posted April 19, 2007; 05:09 p.m.
Angela Carmella, a Princeton alumna and law professor at Seton Hall University, will deliver a lecture titled "Responsible Freedom Under the Religion Clauses: Exemptions, Legal Pluralism and the Common Good" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, in 6 Friend Center.
Carmella writes about the First Amendment religion clauses and on Catholic social thought, and she is a co-editor of "Christian Perspectives on Legal Thought." She argues that exemptions for religious institutions not only can promote religious freedom, but the common good as well -- for example, by giving religious institutions the freedom they need to help create better social conditions.
Carmella is a 1980 graduate of Princeton. Her talk, sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, is part of the series of Alpheus Mason Lectures in Constitutional Law and Political Thought, titled "The Quest for Freedom."

A Visual Breakdown of This Weekend's K-1 Light Heavyweight GP in Moldova
- Written by Dave Walsh
Part of what always made K-1 special and work was that their regional qualifying tournaments became integral parts of the K-1 experience. The K-1 World Grand Prix did a lot of the times fall into having the same few names involved year-after-year, but new names came up on a regular basis from the regional tournaments that K-1 held. It is also what helped to grow the brand outside of Japan and turn it into a global sports entertainment brand.
This weekend's K-1 Moldova event follows in that traditional by having a few qualifying bouts as well as a Light Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament featuring some of the better names in the division that were available, with Constantin Tutu being an early favorite in the tournament. Here is a visual breakdown on the tournament as well as a few of the qualifying bouts and Superfights on the card.

"Heroes" Alum To Guest Star?
September 28th, 2010
Looks like the show's about to line up another guest star. Jack Coleman, last seen on the canceled superheroes NBC series, "Heroes," is apparently in talks to drop in for an upcoming episode, according to Entertainment Weekly. A source close to the show tells EW he'll be playing a government official who possesses a "Jon Hamm-esque wholesomeness." Heck, why not just get Jon Hamm? The guy proved he could do comedy during his "30 Rock" stint.

The Fat Quarter Shop is excited to welcome Kim Watson of October Afternoon to the Jolly Jabber. October Afternoon's latest fabric collection is Seaside from Riley Blake Designs.
What or who would you dedicate the Seaside collection to?
I have always wanted to spend time up on the coast of Maine. I designed Seaside to capture the classic feel of an earlier era in that northern-coastal region.
What is your favorite project using this collection?
It's funny how sometimes the simplest projects can sound like so much fun. I'm actually looking forward the most to using the laminate from this line to make a picnic table cloth!
If time travel became possible, what year would you want to be in?
The 1950's of course! I love the style, designs, music and more from that era. I guess I would call it my "inspiration decade."
If you had to change your first name what would you change it to?
Maybe Maggie, Hannah, or Emma. Definitely a name with more syllables.
What was your favorite childhood TV show?
Little House on the Prairie. I read and loved the entire series of books as well!
Who is the most famous person you have ever met?
Dan Quayle when he was Vice President. He spoke at an event near my college in Florida once and I met him afterwards.
What is your favorite App to play on your phone?
Fuzzle. It's great mindless fun when you've got a few minutes to while away.
If you could marry a technology, what would it be?
I did marry a technology! His name is Jon. He solves all my technology problems for me. There's something to be said for marrying a computer chip designer!

STORM clouds are darkening over Britain's relationship with the European Union. Prime Minister David Cameron is backing away from the Union, ostensibly seeking to fashion the more distant relationship between London and Brussels needed to keep the U.K. in the E.U. But he may well be putting in motion a political process that will culminate in Britain's exit from Europe.
That outcome would deal a serious blow to European solidarity, deny the E.U. the valuable role that London continues to play in guiding economic integration and the enlargement of the Union, and shake the foundations of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
Before Britain's self-isolation becomes irreversible, Europeans and Americans alike had better face up to the potential consequences of the U.K.'s growing estrangement from the E.U.
Britain has long kept its European neighbors at arm's length. The British empire banked on "splendid isolation," relying on the English Channel as a buffer against continental entanglement. London initially stood apart from the project of European integration started after World War II. Britain finally joined the European Community in 1973, but has since opted out of the euro zone and other collective initiatives. Protecting British sovereignty from the encroachments of "Eurocrats" in Brussels has consistently served as a political call to arms.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Too Darn Cold
Sounds pretty awesome. I hope to happen into a business trip out your way soon. Past trips have brought me to Boulder twice, Denver on numerous occasions.
I almost moved to Fort Collins but that was another story!
Brad - I'll give you some names of acquaintances from your new home area by email. I appreciate you keeping visions of the rockies in my minds eye throughout the season. Whenever you get back to the east, make sure we hook up again for some stripah!
RE:Too Darn Cold
Juro, we bought a house in the NW corner of Longmont. I am 45 min, 30 miles, due east of Rocky Mtn National Park, 45 Min north of Denver and about 1h from the Wyoming border. It takes me 2h to get to cheesman canyon to the south and 2h to get to the Poudre to the north. I can get to some good spots on the St Vrain in less than 10 min. As far as the drainage everything for the most part is West to East since we are east of the divide. One notable exception is the South Platte down near deckers, it flows south to north for a long way before heading east across the high plains.
RE:Too Darn Cold
Brad - Funny you should mention it, we got some of that too... a lot of white stuff this morning, extra long commute. I was tempted to take a digital photo and post it as "no fishing today".
You're lucky though, over the course of the winter you'll have some incredible trout fishing some of us just dream about.
What region of Colorado did you end up in? How is it positioned with respect to the rockies, and what characteristics does the drainage have from the mountains?
Too Darn Cold
It has been too cold to go fishing here lately so i have been driving around looking for new spots to try after the thaw. I was driving by a nearby lake the other day and saw between 200 to 300 geese in the air circling over the lake. They were not on the move to feed and could not have been searching for open water since the lake is small. When i got closer i saw a bald eagle flying just under this huge flock of geese. I thought bald eagles were mainly scavengers for fish but i imagine a christmas goose would make a nice meal as well.
