Unfortunately, no, there's not currently a way to directly link to a PDF on SkyDrive.

Your values are accurate. Your Outlook\Live\Hotmail messages and data are stored on Microsoft servers.

In short, because of how fragmented and unintegrated Microsoft's various sync and cloud services (not to mention how confusing the names are), this is not possible.

Trace Your Ancient Ancestry Through DNA
Did you ever wonder about your ancient ancestors? Who they were? Where they came from? In this science project, you will investigate the secrets of your distant past as revealed by your DNA. In order to obtain a sample for DNA analysis, you will scrape a soft swab inside your mouth to collect cheek cells. The cheek cell sample will be sent to a lab for processing, and the results of the analysis will be sent to you. Based on the genetic markers in your DNA, the ancient clan that your ancestors belonged to will be identified. The resources you receive back will introduce you to your ancient ancestors and allow you to explore their migrations.Objective
In this science project you will analyze your DNA to learn about your ancient ancestors.

The goal of the National Geographic's Genographic Project is to understand the human journey—where we came from and how we got to where we live today. We know from the fossil record that our species, Homo sapiens, arose in Africa over 100,000 years ago, and then spread throughout the globe over the past 60,000 years or so. Even though we share a common ancestry dating back to Africa, we have clearly grown into a diverse family. Clues explaining this diversity can be found within all of us—it's called our DNA.
When DNA is inherited from one's parents, it is recombined, which means that every chromosome contains a patchwork of DNA from each parent. Two types of DNA that escape recombination are useful for determining lineage: mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from mother to children (both male and female), intact; that is, it is identical in the children and the mother, unless a rare mutation occurs. The Y chromosome is passed from father to sons. Again, it is passed along without change, unless the DNA undergoes a rare mutation. Mutations, though rare, can accumulate within a population over long periods of time. When mutations occur in mitochondrial or Y-chromosomal DNA, they have the potential of becoming "markers," or tags that allow geneticists to trace a common lineage back through the ages.
One type of marker is a single nucleotide polymorphism . DNA sequences are polymorphic when there are two or more forms of the sequence within a population. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip) is a DNA sequence variation involving just one nucleotide. Nucleotides are the four bases that are the building blocks of DNA: A, T, C, or G. For example, the sequences ATGC and ATGT are polymorphic at the fourth nucleotide. In the example just given, the SNP can be written as C4T, indicating that the C at position 4 has been changed to a T.
Another type of marker, useful for characterizing the Y-chromosomes, is called a short tandem repeat, or STR. STRs are regions of DNA that contain a repeated sequence. The repeated sequence is short (3 to 5 bases) and it occurs in the same orientation each time it is repeated (tandem). These regions are useful as markers because the number of repeats varies considerably within the human population. The STR called DYS393, for example, can have between 9 and 17 copies of the short sequence AGAT. The Genographic Project looks at 12 different STRs on the Y-chromosome.
In this science project, you will send a sample of your cheek cells to a laboratory. The cells will be broken open and the DNA will be analyzed for the presence of markers that shed light on your ancient past.
You can choose to analyze either your mitochondrial DNA (male or female) or your Y-chromosomal DNA (for males). Mitochondrial DNA traces your maternal lineage. Going back in time, your mitochondrial DNA was copied from your mother, who received her copy form her mother, and so on, going back hundreds of generations. Males get their mitochondrial DNA from their mothers, too, but they do not pass it on to their children. The Y-chromosome, on the other hand, traces your paternal lineage, also going back hundreds of generations, but you only have the chromosome if you are male. If you are a female and would like to learn about your paternal lineage, then a male relative—such as a father, a brother, or a paternal blood relative of your father's, such as his brother—can test his Y-chromosome DNA. The results will reveal a female's paternal lineage.
Your DNA sequence will be compared to a database of DNA sequences from all over the world to look for the best matches. The report you receive from the laboratory will assign you to a haplogroup. The people within a haplogroup share a common ancestry. Members of mitochondrial haplogroup H5, for example, all share a common ancestor who inhabited a region in what is now Great Britain, thousands of years ago.
It is important to remember that we all share a common ancestry, going back to Africa. But haplogroups represent sub-populations with relatively recent common ancestry.
The National Geographic Society's Genographic Project website has a wealth of information about the history of human migrations as revealed by analysis of DNA samples like yours. There are also a number of books, listed in the bibliography, that discuss how modern genetics is helping to define the routes and timelines of ancient migrations out of Africa and into Europe, Asia, Oceana, and the Americas.
NOTE: This is an advanced project involving independent research. You will have to make some decisions for yourself (such as doing a mitochondrial vs. a Y-chromosomal test), and you will have to research advanced topics. The time commitment will pay off as you will learn about your ancient ancestors, and you will be able to explore the secrets of human evolution as revealed in your genetic code.

THIS relegation issue game was in the balance until the 79th minute when Wirral fly half, James Annetts crossed over for a well taken try to extend Wirral's lead to 23-15.
With a strengthened side Wirral were anxious to achieve a win but fell behind to an early Bob McCallum penalty, before taking the lead with two well executed tries by Dan Harvey, the second from a superbly weighted but delayed pass which split the Wilmslow defence and left Dan with a run to the line, this try being converted by brother, Craig, who later added a penalty.
Wilmslow's forwards mauled their way over for a try which left the half time score at 15-8 and it was Wilmslow who played with greater determination in the second before Craig Harvey extended Wirral's lead with a penalty.
There followed periods of pressure from Wilmslow leading to a penalty try to make it 18-15, and the final 14 minutes were played with great tension but it was that final try which sealed the victory, which Wirral deserved for their commitment.

Born on September 11, 1957, drummer Jon Moss became a central part of the British music scene of the 1970s and '80s, gaining fame as a band member of Culture Club.
Born September 11, 1957, in London, England, to an unmarried Jewish woman, Jon Moss was adopted by the Moss family, a well-bred Jewish couple. After toying with the idea of becoming a boxer, he became a drummer. The stylish, dark-haired Moss went on to become a central part of the music scene in the 1970s and '80s.
After responding to an ad in Melody Maker magazine at age 19, Moss was briefly hired by The Clash on the condition that he would cut his long hair. It quickly became clear that he didn't share the band's political convictions, and he quit. He also played with the bands Adam & the Ants and the Damned.
When Boy George was looking for a drummer to join his group, Sex Gang Children, a friend suggested he contact Jon Moss. George hired Moss, and they renamed the group Culture Club in 1981.
Moss and George became secretly romantically involved.
In early 1982, Culture Club signed with Virgin Records, and by the fall their breakthrough single, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" became a hit. They had more hits with "Time (Clock of the Heart)," "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and "Karma Chameleon," which topped the charts in both the U.S. and the U.K.
The group released their second album, "Colour by Numbers," in the fall of 1983 and continued to have more hits with "It's a Miracle" and "Miss Me Blind." But their third album, "Waking Up With the House on Fire," didn't fare as well. The group went on hiatus in 1985, and Moss pursued other musical projects. Around that time, George became addicted to heroin and he and Moss broke up.
With George battling drug addiction, Culture Club broke up in late 1986, following the cancellation of their planned U.S. tour.
In 2006, Moss, along with bassist Mikey Craig and keyboard player Phil Pickett, reunited with a new band, Culture Club Reborn.
Although band members asked George to join them, he refused and then publicly criticized the replacement singer they hired. Moss was furious and spoke out against Boy George in the press. "He's like a nightmare ex-wife. This guy's being rude about me all the time. I've lived with it for years and I've just had enough," Moss told the Associated Press.
The new band disbanded after one live show.
In George's autobiography, "Take It Like a Man," he accused Moss of being "ashamed" of their romantic relationship.
"I'm not ashamed of anything," Moss, now married with children, told the AP in 2006. "My parents, all my friends knew. There's no problem there."
In 2010, the BBC aired the film "Worried About the Boy," which chronicled Moss and George's tumultuous relationship.
Moss is married with four children.

Movie Summary | Infoplease.comAdventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Description: Despite mixed reviews and a disastrous initial release that dumped the film into theaters for a week in the midst of the 1984 Summer Olympics, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension went on to become one of the major cult films of the 1980s, developing a rabid following after its release on videotape. Drifting between satire and improbable sci-fi adventure, the film stars Peter Weller as Buckaroo Banzai, the son of an American mother and Japanese father who is a combination physicist, neurosurgeon, martial arts master, secret agent, and rock star who travels with his band of assistants/backing musicians, The Hong Kong Cavaliers. As the story opens, Buckaroo is driving his car through a mountain to test his new invention, the Oscillation Overthruster. However, a race of boorish aliens called the Red Lectroids have been waiting for such an item to become a reality, as they need it to return to the distant planet they call home. One of Buckaroo's arch-enemies, Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow), who has been possessed by the Red Lectroids, attempted to created a similar device decades before; now escaped from an insane asylum, he is back at work with the Lectroids on a plan to control the world. Throw in Rastafarian aliens, unscheduled travel between dimensions, and the odd inexplicable watermelon, and you get a film that defies conventional synopsis. With its fast pace, quotable dialogue (No matter where you go, there you are), and barrage of gags (subtle and otherwise), you won't be bored even when you're not sure what's going on. The supporting cast includes Jeff Goldblum as New Jersey, a Cavalier with a snappy cowboy outfit, and Ellen Barkin as Penny Priddy, the twin sister of Buckaroo's late wife.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /site/html/include/amazon.php on line 71 Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to :3128 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known) in /site/html/include/amazon.php on line 71

The Bryant Hornets scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to defeat Van Buren 5-4 in the second game of a double header Friday night. After winning the first game 12-2, the Hornets had to hold off a 7th inning rally by the Pointers to earn the sweep. WIth one out, Van Buren would load the bases thanks to a walk, and a pair of singles. Bryant pitcher Dylan Cross would get out of it, striking out the two final batters.
In her first game for the Lady Miners three years ago, Elizabeth Harris didn't even know where she would be in the lineup, which head coach Wes Mode announced as the game was starting against the defending state champions. "My name was first, and I was playing center field," she said. "I looked at coach Mode and said, 'Are you nuts?!'" The freshman leadoff hitter, who's now a senior and still bats first in the Bauxite lineup, calmed her nerves, stepped up to the plate and hit a double. "After that hit I was fine," she said.

Strong coupling in the sub-wavelength limit using metamaterial nanocavities
Scientific Achievement - We demonstrate that the strong light-matter coupling between a metamaterial and an intersubband transition in semiconductor heterostructures is fully scalable from the mid-infrared (~10 microns) to the near-infrared (~1.5 microns) and happens on a single nanocavity level in deep sub-wavelength volumes.
Significance - Plasmonic metamaterials offer the possibility to control light in all three dimensions. Here, we experimentally demonstrate strong light-matter coupling between a single nanocavity and intersubband transitions in heterostructures. Such systems show great potential for the realization of electrically tunable optical filters and modulators at any given wavelength or for studying unusual effects such as superradiance.
Research Details
- The structure consists of metallic nanocavities fabricated using a combination of electron-beam lithography and metal evaporation. Typical feature sizes are approximately 100 nm for mid-infrared and 30 nm for near-infrared samples.
- Transmission spectra were measured at CINT using a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. Numerical calculations were performed for a periodic array of "dogbone" nanocavities supporting strong field enhancement in their vicinity without the need of an additional ground plane.

Metamaterial flexible sheets could transform optics
New ultrathin, planar, lightweight, and broadband polarimetric photonic devices and optics could result from recent research by CINT Scientist Hou-Tong Chen and his team. The advances would boost security screening systems, infrared thermal cameras, energy harvesting, and radar systems. (Members of the metamaterials team, from left: Nathaniel K. Grady, Hou-Tong Chen, Jane E. Heyes)
This development is a key step toward replacing bulky conventional optics with flexible sheets that are about the thickness of a human hair and weighing a fraction of an ounce. The advance is in the design of artificially created materials, called metamaterials, that give scientists new levels of control over light wavelengths.
The research was reported online in Science magazine, "Terahertz Metamaterials for Linear Polarization Conversion and Anomalous Refraction." The team demonstrated broadband, high-performance linear polarization conversion using ultrathin planar metamaterials, enabling possible applications in the terahertz (THz) frequency regime. Their design can be scaled to other frequency ranges from the microwave through infrared.

First Infrared Quantum Dots to Stop Blinking
Non-blinking excitonic emission from near-infrared (NIR) and type-II nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) is reported for the first time, coupled with suppressed Auger recombination (AR). To realize this unusual degree of stability at the single-dot level, novel InP/CdS core/shell NQDs were synthesized for a range of shell thicknesses (~1-11 monolayers of CdS).
Significance: This new system demonstrates that electronic structure and shell thickness can be employed together to effect control over key single-dot and ensemble NQD photophysical properties. Suppressed-blinking, NIR emitting NQDs are ideal candidates molecular probes for single-particle tracking; suppressed AR has important implications for optical amplification and lasing.
Research Details:
�Ensemble spectroscopy measurements (photoluminescence peak position and radiative lifetimes) and electronic structure calculations established the transition from type-I to type-II band alignment.
�Single-NQD studies revealed clear evidence for blinking suppression that was not strongly shell-thickness dependent, while photobleaching and biexciton lifetimes trended explicitly with extent of shelling.
�Specifically, very long biexciton lifetimes-up to 7 ns-were obtained for the thickest-shell structures, indicating dramatic suppression of AR.

Extremely High Tunability and Low Loss in Nanoscaffold Ferroelectric Films
We have created a nanoscaffold nanocomposite ferroelectric material containing Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BSTO) and Sm2O3. Strained vertical nanopillar heteroepitaxial films of (Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3)1-x(Sm2O3)x show remarkably improved tunability values at the same time a reduced dielectric loss. This behavior is opposite to what has been demonstrated in any previous report.
Significance: This new kind of nanostructure and composition holds great promise for electrically tunable microwave devices operating at room temperature and above. The vertical strain controlling mechanism represents a new paradigm to design tunable microwave dielectrics.
Research Details: CINT's well controlled pulsed laser deposition system enabled the growth of desired vertically strained nanocomposites (Fig. 1) with desired structural and physical properties (Fig. 2).
Tunability values of 75% (200 kV/cm field) were achieved at room temperature in micrometer thick films, the value remaining to >50% at 160 °C. Low dielectric loss values of <0.01 were also achieved, significantly lower than reference pure BST films.

Ultrafast carrier dynamics and radiative recombination in multiferroic BiFeO3
We report a comprehensive study of ultrafast carrier dynamics
in single crystals of multiferroic BiFeO3. Using degenerate femtosecond
optical pump-probe spectroscopy, we find that the
photoexcited electrons relax to the conduction band minimum
through electron-phonon coupling with a ~1 ps time constant
that does not significantly change across the antiferromagnetic
transition. Electrons subsequently leave the conduction band
and primarily decay via radiative recombination on a nanosecond
timescale, as supported by photoluminescence measurements.
We find that despite the coexisting ferroelectric and
antiferromagnetic orders in BiFeO3, its intrinsic nature results
in carrier relaxation similar to that observed in bulk semiconductors.
Degenerate pump-probe-reflectivity measurements at 3 different photon energies at room temperature. The inset displays the early time dynamics, with two identical vertical bars that represent the maximum difference between the signals at the highest and lowest pump photon energies. The signals reach their maximum difference at 3 ps.

Los Alamos scientists detect and track single molecules with nanoscale carbon cylinders
The electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes can be altered by surface adsorption of electronic impurities or dopants. However, fully understanding the influence of these impurities is difficult because of the inherent complexity of the solution-based colloidal chemistry of nanotubes, and because of a lack of techniques for directly imaging dynamic processes involving these impurities. Here, CINT Users Jared Crochet and Juan Duque, along with CINT Scientists Jim Werner and Steve Doorn show that photoluminescence microscopy can be used to image exciton quenching in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes during the early stages of chemical doping with two different species. The addition of AuCl3 leads to localized exciton-quenching sites, which are attributed to a mid-gap electronic impurity level, and the adsorbed species are also found sometimes to be mobile on the surface of the nanotubes. The addition of H2O2 leads to delocalized exciton-quenching hole states, which are responsible for long-range photoluminescence blinking, and are also mobile.

"Unraveling the Mystery of Quantum Dot Blinking by Single Dot Spectroelectrochemistry" featured in Nature.
Blinking (fluorescence intermittency) of colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) has been a key road block in their utilization in a number of practical applications ranging from bio-medical imaging and singl-particle tracking to solid-state lighting. CINT scientist Han Htoon in collaboration with Christophe Galland, Milan Sykora and Victor I. Klimov of Chemistry Division, have recently developed a novel single-NQD spectroelectrochemistry approach to shine new light onto this intriguing phenomena. To make this approach work, the team collaborated with CINT Scientist Jennifer Hollingsworth who recently developed a new class of ultra-stable core/shell NQDs.
The dual goals: to develop novel non-blinking quantum dots as molecular probes and to understand the underlying mechanism of blinking by correlating charging events with blinking events, have been at the center of a National Institutes of Health funded project established in 2008 by Jennifer Hollingsworth (PI), Han Htoon, and Milan Sykora. The work goes a long way toward realizing key aims of this effort and, thereby, application of robust, non-blinking quantum dots for advanced bioimaging concepts.
CINT User Recognized for Work in Cancer Detection
CINT User, Ed Flynn, was featured in numerous articles in October 2011 for his work in cancer detection. He was recently recognized by the American Physics Society Journal and featured in articles in the Wall Street Journal and APS News. Congratulations, Ed!
2011 R&D 100 awarded to CINT team
NanoCluster Beacons
NanoCluster Beacons are collections of silver atoms maneuvered to illuminate when bound to specific nucleic acids, such as the DNA of particular pathogens. Created by Hsin-Chih (Tim) Yeh, James Werner, Jaswinder Sharma, and Jennifer Martinez, these beacons can be used to probe for diseases that threaten humans by identifying the nucleic acid targets that represent a person's full genome, and allow for personalized medication. They also can be used in quantitative biology applications, such as counting individual molecules inside a cell.
Once bound with a specific target, a NanoCluster Beacon lights up, emitting fluorescence approximately 200 times greater than in the unbound state and easily viewed by the naked eye under ultraviolet light. The beacons come in an array of colors for multiplexed analyses, are more photostable than beacons used today, and can be turned on and off reversibly. Inexpensive, easy to use, and reversible, NanoCluster Beacons are superior molecular probes for detecting specific targets, human oncogene (cancer) sequences, and molecular disease sequences (such as sickle cell anemia).
R&D 100 Award-winning NanoCluster Beacons are easily seen with the naked eye under ultraviolet (UV) light.

CINT Science on PRL cover
Spherical nanoparticles (NPs), uniformly coated with a simple polymer used to passivate NPs in solution, are shown to produce highly asymmetric coating arrangements. We show that a class of spherical particles is not symmetrically coated even when extremely uniform grafting arrangements and full coverages are employed. We demonstrate, using explicit-atom molecular dynamics simulations of model NPs, that geometric properties dictate when a coating�s spherical symmetry will be unstable and show that the chain end group and the solvent play a secondary role in determining the properties of surface patterns. At the water-vapor interface the coatings are significantly distorted and oriented by the surface. These asymmetric and oriented coatings are expected to have a dramatic effect on the interactions between NPs and will likely influence the structures of aggregated NPs which self-assemble in the bulk and at surfaces.

A first kiss doesn't get any better than this!
Carrie Underwood made a young fan's dream come true Saturday when she gave his first kiss.
PHOTOS: Carrie Underwood's style evolution
The 29-year-old country singer spotted 12-year-old Chase's "Will you be my first kiss?" sign in the audience of her Louisville, Ky. show and called him up on stage.
"He's got the jump on me. I was 14 when I had my very first kiss. Just so you know my husband [Mike Fisher] is somewhere in this building backstage, so he may be looking for you later," Underwood warned him. "How are we going to do this?"
"Lip to lip," Chase boldly said.
VIDEO: Carrie reveals her celebrity style icon
"This is the smartest kid ever!" Underwood, who has been married to hockey player Fisher for two years, exclaimed. "Alright, here we go. Close your eyes," she demanded.
And with that, the singer held Chase's hand and leaned in for a kiss ... lip to lip. You can see their smooch by watching the video here.
PHOTOS: Carrie and Mike's romance
After the show, Underwood tweeted a photo of the big smooch and wrote, "Thanks, Chase, for the kiss and thanks Louisville for rocking so hard tonight! We had fun! Lip to lip."

drink the hotdog water.
Begin by ingesting a large amount of coffee mixed with a cheap whiskey of your choice. Eat a large egg and bacon breakfast with toast. Then, pick up some of the neighbors you hate, go for a ride around town. When they need to stop at a store, let them off, take off. Go to Burger King for lunch, eating at least 4 cartons of onion rings. Get back in your vehicle, turn heat on high, fart nasty onion ring smell. Take wife for a ride immediately after, do not let her get out.
Take her to DQ for a snack, and then ask her for $$ to pay when you get to that point. Afterwards, head home, ride your bicycly around the neighborhood screaming "I'm a Kickstand! I'm a Kickstand!" and remove one piece of clothing every 1/2 mile while drinking from a flask your choice of liquor. As you eventually get home (From either whoever pays your bail or if you make it back on your bike) be sure to position the bike in the driveway and make a huge deal of washing the bike. Eventually find yourself in the back yard, grilling various meats while seated atop a riding lawnmower and drinking Keystone light. Pencil in a Fu-Manchu mustache if needed. Enjoy your various grilled meats while fling some it at passers-by, while seated in your recliner near the curb. There is no alternative plan if it rains, just perform the above while eating licorice you have stored in your pocket. |

On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.

Remaining bridge piece to be removed Sunday nightMarch 22, 2013, 6:45 pm by Adam Troxtell Construction workers will cut down the remaining piece of the US 281 bridge Sunday evening. Kelli Reyna, Texas Department of Transportation Public Information Officer, said crews have scheduled the work to be done then, which includes cutting the steel truss down one piece at a time using a torch. The section is the only remaining part of the steel truss of the bridge after explosives hooked up to it last Sunday failed to detonate, resulting in only part of the structure imploding in a large blast. TxDOT is warning drivers to expect lane closures starting at 7 p.m. Sunday, but those should be gone by 6 a.m. Monday morning. A second blast is planned to remove concrete piers from the old bridge that currently sit in the middle of the lake, but the date and time is still undecided. General contractor Archer Western is devising a new blast plan after the first explosion resulted in a severed fiber optic cable -- taking down phone, 911 and internet service -- and a punctured sewer line, along with scattered damage at nearby homes and businesses. |
