Last Sunday morning, I read with interest this essay by writer Beth Boyle Machlan on the joys of driving with her kids and listening to commercial radio -- the antithesis of the modern i-music experience which involves carefully choosing and curating one's own "playlists," and never subjecting oneself to anything as vulgar and top-down as listening to a whole bunch of songs picked out by other people.
Last Sunday, we took a road trip into New York City, but before we left, I read Beth Boyle Machlan's New York Times essay about the joys she sometimes gets driving with her kids, and surrendering their collective eardrums to the serendipities of commercial radio. She learns some of their songs, they learn some of hers... Everybody gives up some of the fierce control we all maintain these days over what we call our "playlists."
From the streets of Hartford to Madison Square Garden was a giant leap for featherweight boxer Christopher "Bat" Battalino. Born in Hartford in 1908, Battalino quit Brown School after the fifth grade to work in a tobacco factory. He got his boxing start in amateur bouts, and went all the way to the national amateur featherweight championship before turning pro when he was 21 years old.
This hour, we check back in with two musical acts that we've featured on the program before. Goodnight Blue Moon's Elm City roots are evident in their music. Their new EP, A Girl I Never Met, features a song that's based on a poem found in a Fair Haven history book. Goodnight Blue Moon join us in studio to talk about the new release and to play some music.

With just 11 days before the end of 2013, The New York Times posted a dialect quiz on its website that drew in millions of readers, making it the site's most popular page for the year. The quiz is designed to pinpoint the quiz-taker's exact region, based on the words he or she uses.
The graphics intern who created the mapping algorithm, Josh Katz, was hired for a full-time position and Bert Vaux, the linguist who created the data for the test, began to see an uptick in the activity on his website.
Here's a little bit of Civil War history that seems to have started here in Connecticut. It was in this month of February in 1860 that Cassius Clay, a Kentucky planter turned anti-slavery crusader spoke in Hartford not far from where we're doing this show today. He was accompanied by a torch-bearing honor guard in capes and caps. The Hartford Courant called these young men "wide-awakes."

Opening nights of new incarnations of late-night TV talk shows are good, mostly, for first impressions — or, in the case of Jay Leno, sometimes a second impression. It's not fair to make strong judgments on the content alone, because a first show always is top-heavy with ideas, special guests and nervousness. But it is fair game to judge the set, the environment, the overall mood, and how well the host fits into the history of late-night television.

We all know love matters, but today, positive emotions expert Barbara Fredrickson joins Faith to show us just how much. Even more than happiness and optimism, love holds the key to improving our mental and physical health as well as lengthening our lives. Using research from her own lab, Fredrickson redefines love not as a stable behemoth, but as micro-moments of connection between people—even strangers. She demonstrates that our capacity for experiencing love can be measured and strengthened in ways that improve our health and longevity. Finally, she introduces us to informal and formal practices to unlock love in our lives, generate compassion, and even self-soothe.

In the 1860s, the Kellogg brothers of Hartford, Connecticut published a lithograph called "The Sweetheart's Portrait." The print was so popular that it was reissued at least once and it was also reproduced as a photograph. It shows two fluffy white cats playing with a small oval painted portrait of a young woman attached to a ribbon and chain. Such portraits had gone out of fashion twenty years earlier, when photography replaced painting as the primary means of portraiture.

Question: Which of these foods are said to stir passion? An oyster, and avocado or a turnip? (Scroll down to the bottom for the answer.)
One of these, at least, is a gimme. The stories linking oysters and other shellfish to lust go back to at least the ancient Greeks.
Think of the image of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, rising out of the sea from the half-shell.
"There's something primal about eating oysters," says oyster-lover MJ Gimbar. He describes them as creamy and velvety. "It's like a kiss from the ocean."
I was still digesting some of the lessons of the play "Freud's Last Session" -- a 90 minute conversation between Freud and C.S. Lewis -- when I stumbled upon Adam Gopnik's New Yorker essay about rise of polemical atheism -- that is atheism that takes an openly contemptuous tone toward faith.
I'm trying to get my panelists for today's Nose interested in this, so I have to lay out some thoughts.
I will tell this story (a) without permission and (b) quoting only to the best of my abilities. A few years ago, Bill Curry and I, and some dogs, were walking in the meadows of Avon.
Somehow, we got onto the subject of deism, and I must have said it was difficult to believe in the existence of God, given all the devastation and profound unfairness which overspread the world every day. And Curry turned and stretched his arms out as if to encompass the landscape. He's a big guy, which enhanced the effect.

As a first-time curator, Stephen Grant "kind of did it maybe," in his words, "backwards." Rather than base his debut show on specific artists and media, Grant started with a concept, a theme.
Having read David Byrne's part-memoir, part-textbook, How Music Works, Grant was inspired by Byrne's own seemingly endless desire to be inspired. "I wanted to create a show that embodied that attitude," Grant said, so he based it on and named it for a classic song from Byrne's Talking Heads days, "Once in a Lifetime."

Description This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/719,548, filed Sep. 22, 2005. This invention relates to gas sensors, and more particularly to hydrogen sensors. There are many technologies for sensing hydrogen, some of them are commercialized. Most of the technologies can be split into two categories�chemical sensors and palladium-based sensors. They use properties of hydrogen to interact with materials, either via chemical reactions as in metal oxide sensors, or by dissolving in Pd and changing the physical properties of Pd-H system. The property of Pd to dissolve and store hydrogen is implemented in many approaches to designs of the sensors, including quartz microbalance sensors, which detect a change in resonance oscillation frequency as the palladium film changes its mass while it absorbs hydrogen. A related patent is U.S. Pat. No. 6,029,500. However, using palladium or similar hydrogen dissolving metals as active coatings results in poor stability of the devices as the metal surface oxidizes with time, and also in case of Pd, it can be poisoned by sulfur or delaminated due to the phase change occurring at high hydrogen concentrations. Thus, it is desired to have a sensor stable in time at various chemical and physical conditions. Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements. Hydrogen is known as the element with the smallest atomic mass. In a gas mixture in thermodynamic equilibrium, molecules have a mean energy of �3/2 kT, whether they are molecules of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. The momentum of a molecule is mν, where m is molecular mass, and ν is the mean molecular velocity equal to (8 kT/πm)1/2. So, the momentum of a gas molecule at a given temperature will depend on its mass as (m)1/2. The difference in momentum and size (effective diameter) of molecules leads to the difference in other macroscopic parameters of gases, such as viscosity and diffusion rate. During oscillations in a gas environment, a vibrating object such as tuning fork tines impart momentum to gas molecules resulting in mechanical energy loss in the tines. This loss causes a change in the resonant oscillation frequency of the fork, and the frequency shift will depend on a momentum that the tines impart to gas molecules. This means that in a gas that contains light molecules, such as hydrogen, the losses due to interaction with the gas molecules will be less than in an environment without hydrogen. Hence, the frequency of oscillations will be higher in an environment having a presence of hydrogen. In a tuning fork quartz oscillator, the fork tines symmetrically vibrate in an antiphase flexure mode, wherein the tines move in opposite directions against each other at any moment in time. The speed at which the tines oscillate can be estimated as follows. The amplitude of the tine deflection is approximately 60 nm/V. If the driving voltage on the tines is about 1V, then at a frequency of 32768 Hz, the tines will have a characteristic speed of �2 mm/sec. That is much less than the speed of gas molecules (hundreds of meters per second), and it is possible to consider a quasi-static case for this interaction. Therefore, it is mostly the macroscopic characteristics of gases that will affect tuning fork oscillation frequency. The described tuning fork sensor is not selective to hydrogen, and other light gases like helium may interfere with the H2. To avoid interference, it is possible to use H2-permeable membranes, like Pd (palladium) membranes, to improve selectivity. The frequency change in the tuning fork resonator is usually small, so a differential frequency detection method may be used for the detection of small frequency deviations. Along with frequency, the quality factor Q and the electric impedance of the tuning fork resonator changes as the oscillation energy is dissipated in gas environment. Referring to The sensor 101 may be characterized using hydrogen gas mixed with air at volume concentrations of 0 to 16% at room temperature. The hydrogen-air mixture may be prepared using two 100 sccm mass flow controllers. The interval between the frequency beats may be measured using a Tektronix CDC250 counter. The response of the sensor 100 to hydrogen is quite linear in all ranges of concentrations. As can be seen in The concentration of hydrogen can then be calculated as follows:
Test results for sensor 300 with sealed and open can oscillators are shown in Referring to In another embodiment, a device for measuring oscillation parameters of the tuning fork detects changes in Q factor and an impedance of the tuning fork as hydrogen will change the energy that is dissipated by the tuning fork tines. The energy dissipation in the tuning fork can described as follows. If a mechanical system such as a tuning fork has a mechanical resistance RM, the quality factor Q at a resonant frequency f0 will be
Hydrogen has approximately two times lower viscosity than air (8.4�10−6 Pa*s vs. 17.4�10−6 Pa*s at 0� C.), and, hence, the mechanical resistance will decrease at higher relative hydrogen concentrations. Thus:
Referring to As described above, the vibration frequency of the nanotube 601 or nanowire will depend on the viscosity of a surrounding gas, which, in turn, will depend on the concentration of hydrogen in the gas. The sensitivity range of the sensor is 0 to 100% H2, with a detectivity limit of at least 1%, as can be seen from the sensitivity graphs shown above in An LEL detector that uses the described sensor may be a portable handheld device, with a sensor incorporated in the device body, or placed at the end of an attachable sampling probe. The device may have indications of concentration on a display along with a sound alarm if the concentration of hydrogen reaches a certain critical level. Other applications include water electrolysers, hydrogen storage systems, industrial equipment, etc. Improvements can be made to stabilize the sensor response against temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, quartz aging, and other conditions of operation. A number of embodiments of the invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The state of the Franco-German alliance demonstrates just how gaps in economic-performance numbers can drive countries apart—in this instance, countries of the Eurozone. The more Germany outperforms its neighbors in growth and unemployment, the sooner its dominance will reach a point where it feels less beholden to the spirit of compromise that has characterized Franco-German relations and fostered the "motor" of European construction. Germans feel vindicated by their difficult structural reforms undertaken in the early 2000s and are increasingly disdainful of those who shirk similar responsibilities, all the more so when they are asked to finance that very irresponsibility.
A few figures tell the story: While Germany reported a budget surplus, France posted a deficit of almost 5 percent of its GDP. German unemployment (5.4 percent) and youth unemployment (8 percent) are a fraction of French levels (10.5 percent and 24.6 percent, respectively). These are Germany's best numbers in more than a decade, and France's worst unemployment in fourteen years. In this year's first quarter, Germany's economy grew slightly while the French and broader Eurozone economies contracted by 0.3 percent. Recent estimates that the Eurozone shrank again in the second quarter would make for seven quarters of negative growth in a row.
As the situation drags on, it will soon be fair to say that France can be considered the Eurozone's second-largest economy only in the sense that the European Union has the world's second-largest military budget. Disparity on this scale between the leader and everyone else fundamentally alters the balance of power. France is rapidly joining "the rest": its economy and public opinion are trending toward Southern Europe.
German public and elite opinion, meanwhile, now resembles British-style Euroskepticism: why should we link our fate to these jokers? Germans ask themselves, not unjustly, whether this variant of European unification is the albatross they must bear ad infinitum to atone for the belligerence of their forebears. German taxpayers have paid reparations towards Israel and the mostly Jewish victims of the Third Reich amounting to roughly $89 billion. But that was a one-off. Germany can reasonably argue that without structural changes, there is no end in sight to their European solidarity. As of this spring, Germany had contributed over $280 billion to Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain.
Gallup's most recent study of French and German opinion depicts two countries losing sight of what initially brought them together. When given the choice, 49 percent of Germans would vote to stay in the European Union and 31 percent would vote to leave. French numbers were the reverse. France is, moreover, the country that disapproves most of German leadership, alongside the UK, with more than a third of respondents embracing that sentiment.
The tacit agreement to abide disagreement within the alliance without undue resentment seems to be fraying. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote, "Because Germany's economy is so strong and because the distance between it and its partners is growing, so is the jealousy." This display of condescension recalls French insults towards the thirteen Eastern European countries that vocally supported U.S. intentions in Iraq ten years ago.

Possible Leaked Script Page From THE FLASH Movie Reveals A Cameo
The Flash is currently in development. Yes, we all know about the TV show that will star Grant Gustin as Barry Allen. But there is also a movie that is development that according to some insiders is targeting a 2016 release date. Not only that, a lot of industry sources are saying the The Scarlet Speedster is all but a lock for appearing in the Man Of Steel sequel that will be released in 2015. Whether that's a cameo or an actual role in the movie still remains to be seen.
There are currently two known scripts for The Flash out there. One done by WB/DC's main man at the moment David Goyer as well as one done by the current Arrow team (who is also working on the Flash TV show) of Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Berlanti is on tap direct the movie version Flash as well.
The people over at Superhero Movie News have, what they were told, a copy of the current script that was done by Berlanti and company. Contained in the script is a cameo from the Emerald Crusader himself Green Lantern. Check the page out below:
While the film is very much in development, it's not a given that they would use this script. Although with Berlanti at the helm, it makes the possibility of it a whole lot stronger. Another thing to consider is with Green Lantern being the cameo, would they use the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern from the 2011 movie that Berlanti, Guggenheim and Kreisberg worked on? Or would they use a different Lantern all together? Only time will tell, but for now, make sure to check back here at Comic Book Therapy for the latest.

Love is in the air and everywhere this season thanks to the most-awaited festival for all those in love out there. It is easy to fall in love and perhaps easier to part ways but it takes an unrelenting commitment to make your relationship last a lifetime. Every relationship has its share of trials and tribulations but like they say it is all about the survival of the fittest. Yes, that adage fits well even in love. So run through the slides to get some tips on how to keep that mush factor alive in your relationship for ever and ever!
Whether you are a high-income working wife or a highly-educated man married to a not-so-well-educated woman (read: 'English Vinglish' movie), it is very important to keep a tab on your ego lest it inflates beyond control and wrecks havoc in your relationship. Make it a rule of thumb to replace 'I' with 'Us'.
People crib about how the romance goes out of the window post getting hitched. It is true but it takes genuine efforts to keep that spark alive in your love like always. Plan for a dinner date for just the two of you and surprise him or take her out for a romantic holiday. There are ideas galore if you are willing to buy in to the advice. So go ahead and explore the ways to woo your beloved.
Eric Segal defined love in a new way in his 'Love Story' when he wrote 'Love means never having to say you are sorry'. Understanding, honesty and trust are very strong pillars to keep any doubts from shaking your bond of love. These three virtues go a long way in weeding out all big and petty relationship issues
And last but not the least, be on lookout for ways to spice things up between the sheets and that happy glow on your beloved's visage will ensure a rocking love life everyone will be in awe of. So, go ahead and indulge in lots of bedroom action.By Resham Sengar

United Ups The Ante For Luxury Domestic
United Airlines claims to be the first and only airline to offer premium-cabin, flat-bed seats on every scheduled transcontinental flight between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and San Francisco and between New York's JFK and Los Angeles.
The airline has completed a redesign of 15 Boeing 757-200s that fly the p.s. "Premium Service" routes.
The revamped p.s. aircraft offer 28 180-degree flat-bed United BusinessFirst seats, offering up to 6'4" of sleeping space and more room for storage; 42 extra-legroom United Economy Plus seats and 72 United Economy seats.
Designed to give customers an experience comparable to long-haul, international flights, United's refurbished p.s. aircraft also offer inflight WiFi along with personal, on-demand entertainment at every seat as well as power outlets and USB ports at every seat.
"Our investment in these aircraft and in the p.s. service will add greatly to our flyer-friendly customer experience on these coast-to-coast flights," said Jeff Foland, United's executive vice president of marketing, technology and strategy, in a release. "This is just one more example of the many things we are doing to provide greater onboard comfort and convenience on every United flight."
United's renovated p.s. aircraft are among the many investments the airline is making to enhance its customers' experience in the air and on the ground, he says.
While United may be the only airline offering lie-flat premium seats on all its NY to San Francisco and LAX flights, Delta offers lie-flat seats on some flights to LAX and Seattle, and starting in January, American will begin to offer lie-flat seats as well, says Henry H. Harteveldt, travel industry analyst and strategist at San Francisco-based Hudson Crossing.
By the middle of next year American, Delta, JetBlue, and United will have lie-flat seats on flights from JFK to the West Coast, he says.
"When United first introduced its 'premium service' several years ago, it was indeed tangibly better than the airline's standard level of service," Harteveldt tells Marketing Daily. "Unfortunately, today's 'premium service' really isn't premium anymore."

Now You Can Buy Your Occupy Wall Street Poster From Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart, one of the country's largest corporations, is selling Occupy Wall Street posters online. The company has itself been the target of demonstrations advocating for higher wages. On sale are large, panoramic posters of protesters camped out at Zuccotti Park in New York City, where the movement started in 2011.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
And finally this hour, an unlikely twist in the story of Occupy Wall Street. For the past several years, the movement has critiqued everything from the structure of banking to low-wage pay. Well, now, you can own a part of Occupy. It's a large panoramic poster of protesters camped out in New York's Zuccotti Park. And as NPR's Margot Adler reports, you can only buy it online at Wal-Mart.
MARGOT ADLER, BYLINE: The publisher of the poster is Lieberman's, a wholesale supplier of art posters. Wal-Mart is selling it online in two sizes for about 52 and $42. The one customer review so far on the Wal-Mart site gives it five stars for incredible irony. But Ed Needham, who was part of the Occupy press team and a longtime member of Occupy says none of this is surprising.
ED NEEDHAM: You can buy Occupy music. You can buy Occupy artwork. You can buy many different books about Occupy. You know, Occupy philosophy by folks like Noam Chomsky. I mean, if it's out there, chances are, you know, Wal-Mart might be selling it.
ADLER: Now, none of these stores are selling these items because of Occupy's philosophy.
NEEDHAM: You know, I think they look at, can we sell this and can we make a profit?
ADLER: It's ironic, he says, it's fun. He doesn't think we will see an Occupy fund at Goldman Sachs, but he says this all proves how much Occupy has permeated popular culture, from politicians using Occupy phrases during campaigns to Occupy being featured on the HBO show "The Newsroom," to this well-known phrase.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: We are the 99 percent.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: We are the 99 percent.
ADLER: People may not agree with some of Occupy's actions, Needham says, but income inequality is now part of the national conversation. The photograph was taken by Tom Sheckels of Moorestown, New Jersey, who told The Village Voice he had no idea. But many of his photographs end up at stock agencies like Getty and All Posters.
Recently, the magazine Adbusters has been fighting over the selling of another Occupy poster. This of a woman dancing on the Wall Street bull. When Che Guevara became an image in a T-shirt, many '60s activists thought it made the era into a music and fashion statement rather than a movement of political ideas. But lots of Occupy people seem to say just let the ideas percolate no matter how, and like this Occupy chant...
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: Another world is possible. We are unstoppable. Another world is possible.
ADLER: Maybe that is how you get ideas out in this culture. We wanted to know how many posters Wal-Mart had sold. Wal-Mart wouldn't talk, but referred us to their statement that they provide a broad assortment of products to serve a diverse customer base. As for who else is making money on the poster, Ed Needham says, not Occupy.
NEEDHAM: That's OK. You know, Occupy doesn't need money. We're not here to make money.
ADLER: But a lot of people and companies are. Margot Adler, NPR News, New York.

The Rise of Ransom City
Felix Gilman
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
This is the story of Harry Ransom. If you know his name it's most likely as the inventor of the Ransom Process, a stroke of genius that changed the world.
Or you may have read about how he lost the battle of Jasper City, or won it, depending on where you stand in matters of politics.
Friends called him Hal or Harry, or by one of a half-dozen aliases, of which he had more than any honest man should. He often went by Professor Harry Ransom, and though he never had anything you might call a formal education, he definitely earned it.
If you're reading this in the future, Ransom City must be a great and glittering metropolis by now, with a big bronze statue of Harry Ransom in a park somewhere. You might be standing on its sidewalk and not wonder in the least of how it grew to its current glory. Well, here is its story, full of adventure and intrigue. And it all starts with the day that old Harry Ransom crossed paths with Liv Alverhyusen and John Creedmoor, two fugitives running from the Line, amidst a war with no end.

Given the following input strings:
Subject: C=AU, ST=Queensland, L=Brisbane, O=Organisation, OU=Branch, CN=Root email@example.com
Subject: C=AU, ST=Queensland, L=Brisbane, O=Organisation, OU=Branch, CN=machine.mydept.qld.gov.au
on Linux with the sed command:
echo $string | sed -n '/Subject:/s/.*CN=\(.*\)\([\/?].*\|$\)/\1/p'
I get the following:
Root CA
Attempting the same operation on Solaris gives me no response whatsoever. Changing the pattern to
gives me the Root CA but fails to deliver the item where the remainder of the string is the required pattern (ie. there is no /emailaddress appended to the CN= field)
Can someone please assist in a solaris/basic regular expression syntax to help resolve this issue.
