Bowler hat
The bowler hat, also known as a bob hat, derby (US), billycock or bombín,[1] is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown originally created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester. The bowler hat was popular with the working class during the Victorian era, and later on with the middle and upper classes in the United Kingdom.[2] Later in the United Kingdom, it would come to be worn as work dress by the officers of the Queen's Guards.[3] In Ecuador especially the women of Quechua people have used bowler hats since the 1920s when British railway workers made it famous.
The bowler once defined British civil servants and bankers, and later American workingmen.[4] It was devised in 1849 by the London hat-makers Thomas and William Bowler to fulfill an order placed by the firm of hatters Lock & Co. of St James's.[4] Lock & Co. had been commissioned by a customer to design a close-fitting, low-crowned hat to protect Coke's gamekeepers' heads from low-hanging branches while on horseback. The keepers had previously worn top hats, which were easily knocked off and damaged. Lock & Co. then commissioned the Bowler brothers to solve the problem.[4]
Especially in Great Britain, most accounts agreed that the customer (and designer of the hat) was William Coke.[3] However, later, a nephew of the 1st Earl of Leicester, provided research that has cast some doubt on this origin story. It is now believed that it was Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester, who invented the hat design.[2]
When Coke arrived in London on 17 December 1849 to collect his hat he reportedly placed it on the floor and stamped hard on it twice to test its strength; the hat withstood this test and Coke paid 12 shillings for it.[5] In accordance with Lock & Company's usual practice, the hat was called the "Coke" hat (pronounced "cook") after the customer who had ordered it. This is most likely why the hat became known as the "Billy Coke" or "Billycock" hat in Norfolk.
In the Americas[edit]
The bowler, not the cowboy hat or sombrero, was the most popular hat in the American West, prompting Lucius Beebe to call it "the hat that won the West".[6] Both cowboys and railroad workers preferred the hat because it would not blow off easily in strong wind, or when sticking one's head out the window of a speeding train. It was worn by both lawmen and outlaws, including Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, Black Bart, and Billy the Kid. It is in America the hat came to be commonly known as the "derby",[3] and Wild West outlaw Marion Hedgepeth was commonly referred to as "the Derby Kid".
The bowler, called a bombín in Spanish, has been worn by Quechua and Aymara women since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Bolivia by British railway workers. For many years, a factory in Italy manufactured the hats for the Bolivian market, but they are now made locally. During the 2nd war a gentleman's outfitters on the German occupied island of Jersey, gave away its entire supply of bowlers to slave workers, mostly refugees from Spain and Morocco, plus Polish and Russian prisoners of war and forced by the occupiers to build an Underground Hospital at St Lawrence. They gladly accepted these as the only form of head protection available to them. Another region that appreciates the bowler hat is the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. The men of this region use this hat as a fashion accessory, along with a walking stick. These fashion accessories, which have become a staple part of the regional costume, were introduced by British colonials in the 1900s. Also in Scotland and Northern Ireland the main Loyalist fraternities, the Loyal Orange Institution, the Royal Black Perceptories and the Apprentice Boys hold parades where many of their members wear bowlers during their various annual celebrations held there.[7]

Element Case makes some of the highest end, most exclusive, most luxurious iPhone and iPad accessories on the planet, and that's never been more true than with the Ronin for iPhone 5.
The Ronin FE blends CNC machined, aircraft-grade aluminum with ethically-sourced, renewable Ziricote wood offering a warm, lustrous finish and a soft, genuine leather backing for unrivaled style and protection unlike anything else in an iPhone case.
The Ronin features a wood and aluminum-blend frame completely encasing the iPhone 5's perimeter with in-line volume, mute-switch and power button controls. Its slim-yet-stylish curves fully engulf iPhone 5 in a comfortable, smooth and luxurious package offering full protection and stand-out style no other aftermarket accessory can offer. Inspired by the clean lines of the "Katana," or Samurai Sword, the Ronin bears its namesake for the legendary Japanese Samurai warriors with no allegiance to a lord or master -- thus the Ronin 5 lives in a category all its own.
I know they're drawing on Asian culture for inspiration, but to me the Ronin also looks like something straight out of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. It the kind of case Elrond or Galadriel would have born into battle and used to smite many a ruin upon the mountainsides.
But here's the best news of all... You can win one of your very own! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling Element Case you want one! We'll pick one of you at random, announce the winner in our usual post next week, and Element Case will send you your prize.
And if you just can't wait that long run, don't walk, over to Element Case and order yours now!
Source: Element Case
Wow. That case is really cool. Count me in on one of those. I love real wood used in products and not that fake stuff.
Element cases are the only case I use for my iPhone. I had a sector for my 4s and it was Brilliant. The Ronin is a masterpiece worthy of the iPhone 5! I'd love one!!!
This cases inspiration, a samurai who has no lord or master, fits my personality perfect. Therefore it would be the perfect accessory to my iPhone.
Love my job....but it won't provide me with such a cool case for my cool iPhone 5! :-)
(Thought I was just another one of those spammer, dintcha?!)
Thanks for the opportunity, iMore and Element case--this is probably the only case I'd stop going naked for!
I think Element Case has the coolest, most innovative cases I've ever seen! I'd own one, but for the cost... Not in my budget!
I have entered these contests many times and haven't won, I would love one of these cases to cover my iPhone as it's glass has shattered on me a few times!
This I want. I have not found the right case for my iPhone 5.... I am super picky about them, its like wearing the right shoes with your outfit. This for sure is what I would use daily. It's like a Rolex watch...goes with everything. Dress or casual. Nice job! Well done!
Absolutely fantastic case! Guys from Element Case perfectly know what to do because i really want one.
Pick me pick me! I don't have any case for my iPhone 5, and I really need one. And this one would be ultra cool to have!!!! :)))
I FINALLY got my iPhone 5 yesterday, and this case would compliment it perfectly! I most certainly want this one!
I WANT ONE! Seriously, this Ronin case is sweet! I have loved Element case since I first laid eyes on them but couldn't afford one. But this one is just incredible looking! I WANT ONE!
"Sharp looking case you've got there..." said the stranger.
"Thank you, its the Ronin from Element Case" said I.
"Wow, sure beats the one I got from Monoprice for $2.95" said the stranger.
"We'll we all can't win something from iMore" said I. The sound of the alarm next to my bed jarred me awake.
I love the element cases. I had the AR-15 special edition case for my iPhone 4. Now I could really use one for the iPhone 5. The Ronin looks like the answer to me.
Want one!!! have try some cases so far but this one looks more modern and rustic at the same time... great combination of metal/wood/leather; like the color also.
Oh wow, that is one good looking case!
$199 is a bit steep for my budget but FREE sounds a wee bit more affordable.
Put me in the 'Yes please' crowd.
I would love this case!! Not only is it beautiful but it would give me the opportunity to tell my hipster friends I have something they have never heard of.
This is without a doubt the most impressive case I've ever seen. I would absolutely love to be chosen to receive one. I'd immediately pass it on to my wife for her newly acquired iPhone 5.
I've been shopping around for a case for my iPhone. I fell in love with this design. I would love to get my hands on one.
Yes please! That's actually a pretty awesome case. I would actually take my LifeProof case off for that one. I love the wood and leather retro look. That's very tempting.
I'm a purist and generally don't case my iPhones (I don't tend to drop them either) but for a case like this I'd make an exception.
I really DO want one!
This is by far the nicest case I have ever seen, for ANY phone, and I would love to have one (except for the fact that I don't have that kind of money). So please pick me!
I'd love to have one. It's hard to find an elegant case that looks good enough to put on an elegant phone like the iPhone. It would fit right in on mine.
Looks awesome, let me have it...<3
My iPhone 5 is currently "naked". It needs clothes. The Element Ronin is much needed. I'd like to have one.
I'd love one very much. Want to review it @
www.thesmarthacks.com .
Dear Element Case,
I would truly enjoy having the Ronin for iPhone 5 wrapped around my iPhone 5. Thanks!
This case is fresh to death. I have yet to find a case worthy of attaching to my iPhone, because let's be honest, most cases don't look very nice. In the meantime, my iPhone has acquired a few battle scars from its Kamikaze attempts to destroy the earth. I would love to call the Ronin my first case.

Winfield coach Marshall Hoff said it was good to face Morgantown again.
"We knew they were going to be good, no doubt about that,'' he said. "We were prepared. "We're looking forward to possibly seeing them again.
"We have to polish a few little things. We're not where we need to be yet, but we will be. Tactically, we'll find a way to get better. A lot of good chemistry and the work ethic is second to none.''
Morgantown coach Ashley Neal said the tie was instructive for her players.
"This was the best team we have faced all year,'' she said of Winfield. "This is the first time we've ever been down in a game this season. We learned a lot about our character. I was proud of my girls the way they responded. It's just a battle. It's good for [our players].''

text: A Geek's Guide to Baseball Season The 2013 Major League Baseball season is about to begin. Here's your guide to being properly prepared. By Mark Wilson Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 8 Next Return to Gallery Back Next MLB.tv View Thumbnails Watch Nearly Every Gameor as Many as You Can Stand With 30 MLB teams each playing 162 games (usually), that works out to to 2430 contests in an MLB season. You can catch a few of them with a local antenna signal and more of them with a cable package that includes channels such as ESPN and local Fox Sports affiliates. But if you want to watch all of themor, at least, to have your pickthe only way to come close is MLB Extra Innings. Offered by carriers like Comcast and DirecTV for roughly $240 per season, the package brings 80 additional games to your eyes every week. That works out to about 1920 more games across the span of the season. It's 120 days of content, more than you could possibly watch. MLB is also one of the easiest sports for people without satellite or cable TV to watch. MLB.tv sells the same game package with its premium service, offered at $125 per season, and the content is streamable across all sorts of devices: laptops, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, PS3s, Xbox 360s, Apple TVs, Rokus, and more. (If you already have an Extra Innings subscription, streaming to the extra devices is included for free.) The catch: regional broadcasting rights. Regional channels hold the exclusive rights to broadcast certain teams in their home region (YES broadcasts the New York Yankees, Fox Sports Wisconsin broadcasts the Milwaukee Brewers, etc.). As a result, MLB.tv checks the physical location of your computer or device and blocks out local teams. So if you're sitting beneath the Gateway Arch on a sunny afternoon, you won't be able to stream the St. Louis Cardinals game to your iPad, although you could if you were in another part of the country. Of course, if you'd rather save a whole lot of money and you don't mind the old-school radio broadcasts, you can just subscribe to At Bat 12. For $15 a year, you can hear every game on every device under the sun (including Windows Phone 7 handsets).

Greubel Forsey Watch Makers Wins 2009 Gaïa Prize
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Last year's winner of the Gaïa Prize was Swatch Group Chairman Nicolas Hayek. To be placed in the same category as Mr. Hayek is likely a great honor for Greubel Forsey founders Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey. The award was given to them due to their craft of fine, traditionally made and crafted Swiss watches. Greubel Forsey watches are highly limited in production and in the several hundred thousand dollars each. The image above was taken by me of two Greubel Forsey watches (Tourbillon 24 Seconds and the Double Tourbillon pieces) at the Greubel Forsey dealer shop Chatel.

MIDDLETOWN — With energy and climate policy expected to take center stage nationally this year, the Ohio Liberty Council — whose membership includes area Tea Parties — will host an Ohio Energy and Climate Conference on Feb. 6 at Miami University, Middletown.
Guest speakers will include Pat Michaels, senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute; Ben Lieberman, senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation; Mary Hutzler, senior fellow at the market-based think tank Institute for Energy Research; and William Tucker, author of "Terrestrial Energy."
Topics will include current and future policy, the science of climate change, and nuclear energy.
Hutzler said she will talk about energy sources, and how some estimates call for fossil fuels to be available and widely used for another quarter century.
"It's not a situation where we're going to be able to move to renewable power like some people believe we are; that's sort of a fallacy," she said.
Michaels, a member of the International Panel on Climate Change, plans to talk about how global warming is real but happening much slower than some scientists say.
He said global temperatures are only forecast to rise 2 degrees this century.
"This hardly becomes the end-of-the-world problem it's presented as," he said, adding he plans to talk about "distortions" of climate data.
Both presenters oppose cap and trade legislation. And both have views that would be deemed controversial to some climate scientists.
Event organizers expect lots of questions from the audience after the brief presentations.
The event is scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. at Dave Finkelman Auditorium.
Tickets are $12 each at www.americanjunto.org. The full ticket price is tax deductible.

I have made labels for years on my computer - thus being dubbed the 'label queen'. My family jokes that if they stand in one place long enough they'll be labeled.
What is the big deal you may ask? Well if you label something you know where things are and where they belong. Labels will 'jump' out at you and remind you to put things back where you found them.
SO, if you haven't got one yet, do yourself a favour and get one! Having a label maker makes a world of difference ...

We are all starting to get these devices that stream programing from Netflix, Amazon, etc. and if you're like me, you've probably watched a couple of old TV shows that you didn't know existed.
I stumbled across a show called "Jericho" and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for a good post apocalyptic story. Jericho is about a small Kansas town that survives relatively unscathed from a nuclear attack on the United States. The town tries to rebuild itself while defending itself from outside threats. This was cancelled after the first season (23 episodes) but brought back and cancelled again in the second season (7 episodes). I just finished the first season and I think most of you on the board would like it. The first few episodes were good but the show really started hitting it's stride about halfway through and the second half of the first season is very good. I'm not sure if the writers were aware of the cancellation or up in the air about the cancellation at the end. The final episode of season one does a decent job of ending the series and leaving room for it to return. It must be very difficult to write a TV show with a continuing story and never know when your final episode is. Anyway, if you can find it on a streaming device, I recommend it. I'm anxious to see the second season but also a little wary since there are only seven episodes. I hate when a show like this isn't given a chance for a proper final episode.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce signalled his intention to launch an emergency recruitment drive for defenders after seeing his injury-hit side crash 3-0 at Sunderland.
The Hammers slipped to defeat at the Stadium of Light with James Collins limping off in agony with a grade three hamstring tear to join George McCartney and Joey O'Brien on the sidelines.
Allardyce said: "The big blow for me is not having enough defenders at the moment. There are too many of my defenders injured."

Since OCW's launch in 2002, the program has shared materials from more than 2,100 MIT courses, including video recordings of the complete lectures from 50 classes, through the OCW site. OCW has distributed 290 copies of the site on hard drives to universities in bandwidth constrained regions, and translation partners have created more than 1,000 translated version of OCW courses. In the past decade, OCW materials have been accessed by 125 million educators and learners worldwide.
"MathWorks and MIT have a long history together and we are very pleased to enter the latest chapter of this relationship," MIT Provost L. Rafeal Reif says. "The Next Decade Alliance will provide OCW the resources to build on its past success and innovate in bringing educational opportunities to the world."
In the next 10 years, OCW is poised to explore the rapidly expanding world of open education. Through a series of initiatives supported by the Next Decade Alliance, MIT will push forward in expanding the reach of OCW materials, explore how OCW content can be shaped to meet the needs of specific audiences, experiment with a broader open-education ecosystem including online communities, and work with teachers to bring OCW content into more classrooms.
"MathWorks is proud to play a role in broadening access to education, and in exploring the possibilities of the web in improving the lives of millions around the world," says MathWorks CEO Jack Little '78. "This is an effort we feel is truly worthy of MathWorks' sustained support."

A Goliath in the world of collegiate sports law is working with West Virginia University on an eligibility issue involving a member of the football team.
School officials won't discuss why WVU recently signed a contract with an attorney, who is informally known as "The Cleaner," for services that cost hundreds of dollars an hour.
"All I can tell you is when working with this, we thought it was appropriate, our general counsel thought it was appropriate, that we needed expertise that we didn't possess among our in-house lawyers - and they're awfully good," WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck told the Daily Mail Wednesday.
The university recently hired Bond, Schoeneck and King, a law firm with 210 attorneys based in upstate New York. The firm also runs a collegiate sports practice group in Kansas, chaired by managing partner Michael Glazier, according to its website.
Glazier and the group specialize in issues pertaining to eligibility, infractions and compliance for student athletes, universities and others who could be affected by National Collegiate Athletic Association rules and regulations.
Some of Glazier's cases are well known in collegiate sports. In a 2008 article, ESPN.com compared Glazier to a movie character in "Pulp Fiction" who takes care of sticky situations.
"The minor difference? Instead of panicked gangsters calling with bloodied dead guys to get rid of, Glazier fields calls from panicked university administrators with NCAA investigators sniffing around them," wrote Dana O'Neil.
A source told the Daily Mail the case concerns the "initial eligibility" of a student athlete. Initial eligibility ensures prospective student athletes meet NCAA academic and amateurism guidelines, according to the NCAA.
WVU spokesman John Bolt said last week the university uses private attorneys to help with work involving the NCAA "from time to time."
"We cannot comment further as to confidential and privileged information concerning the work performed by counsel," Bolt wrote in an email to a Daily Mail reporter.
On July 26, the Office of the West Virginia Attorney General determined WVU could appoint the private law firm without going through a competitive bidding process because the matter "involves an emergency situation."
"More specifically, the university is in need of an attorney or attorneys familiar with NCAA eligibility work to represent the university on a time-sensitive eligibility matter that needs resolved prior to the start of the college football season on August 31, 2013," states the written determination, signed by Chief Counsel Dan Greear.
It says the legal services WVU needed went beyond the immediate capabilities of the Attorney General's Office. The matters require an expertise in NCAA student athlete eligibility rules, according to the determination.
The agreement between WVU and Bond, Schoeneck & King started July 9, according to a copy of the contract obtained by the Daily Mail through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Attorney General's Office didn't issue its waiver until 17 days later, spokeswoman Beth Ryan confirmed.
"The Attorney General's Office was not aware of any written contract entered into prior to the waiver/written determination dated July 26," Ryan said Wednesday in an emailed statement.

Board members from the Scottsdale Unified School District will meet with parents Tuesday night to discuss the upcoming budget cuts that could impact the music program.
Dozens of concerned parents and teachers plan to attend the meting to try to reach the school board before it's too late. They're worried these cuts could hurt the children and their quality of education.
A number of issues have contributed to the $9.8 million deficit, according to the district, including the loss of the M&O override. The tax would've added up to $4.3 million. Residents voted against it last November.
Parents are worried because they're hearing this would mean cuts to special programs, like music, band, physical education, as well as teaching positions.
"Schools are the heart of a community. If you have good schools, your property values are good. You are more attractive to high technology businesses, which is the future," says parent Mary McCarthy.
"We have a budget committee that we've developed, and we're asking that this group of people from the community, from staff, parents, all come together and bring ideas to the table. Everything is on the table right now. We haven't made any decisions. Some recommendations will come forth from the budget committee, and then we will have an opportunity with the governing board," says Carla Partridge Scottsdale Unified School District.
The board is hopeful there will be a budget resolution by April.

Misty May-Treanor played in her first beach volleyball tournament at age 8, with her father, and she later led her high school team to two national indoor volleyball championships and her college team to an undefeated season. Paired with Kerri Walsh-Jennings, May-Treanor won Olympic gold at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympic Games. At the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, the pair started off with a bang, defeating Australia, the Czech Republic, Austria,
The Netherlands, Italy and China. They went on to win the final against fellow American team Jennifer Kessy and April Ross, 2-0 (21-16, 21-16), taking their third consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball.
Early Life
Misty May-Treanor was born in Los Angeles, California in 1977. Coming from an athletic family, she grew up playing beach volleyball with parents Barbara May, a former nationally ranked tennis player, and Robert "Butch" May, a member of the 1968 U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team. At age 8, she played in her first volleyball tournament, with her father, and at Newport Harbor High School, she helped her team win two state championships (indoor volleyball) in 1992 and 1994.
At Long Beach State, where she majored in kinesiology and physical education, May-Treanor was the captain of the team—which became the first women's NCAA volleyball team to go undefeated in 1998.
Olympic Gold
In Sydney in 2000, May-Treanor played in her first Olympic Games, where she placed fifth with partner Holly McPeak. The following year, May-Treanor paired up with Kerri Walsh-Jennings in what became an unstoppable beach volleyball team, one that would go on to generally be considered the best in the history of the sport. They were named Federation Internationale de Volleyball Tour Champions in 2002, and named Team of the Year in 2003.
In 2004, May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings, riding an 89-game win streak, were ready for the Athens Olympics, and they swept through unchallenged, eventually winning the gold medal over Brazil in the finals. Also in 2004, she married professional baseball player Matt Treanor.
May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings continued their outstanding play and appeared again four years later at the Beijing Games, again winning the gold, this time against the team from China. Also in 2008, the duo broke their own records by winning 19 straight tournaments and 112 consecutive matches.
In 2010, May-Treanor teamed up with new partner Nicole Branagh. The two had some success, but in 2011, May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings were together again, preparing for the 2012 London Summer Games. They reunited for the first time since Beijing at the 2011 FIVB season opener, earning a silver medal. They followed with a fourth place finish in Sayna, China, a gold medal at the Beijing Grand Slam, and a second place finish at the World Championships. They took first place two more times later that year, at the Moscow Grand Slam and the A1 Grand Slam.
The duo continued their streak in early 2012 with strong finishes at several big tournaments.

Posted: 12:53 p.m. Friday, June 7, 2013
Just weeks prior to the 2012 football season, Mississippi State fans were hit with the surprising news that the NCAA was looking into the school's recruiting tactics. Shortly after the initial announcement, details began to emerge of a situation involving incoming MSU freshman Will Redmond, an MSU booster, and former MSU wide receivers coach Angelo Mirando. Now, just a few months shy of a year after we were first made aware of the situation, the NCAA has announced its findings in the case, as well as the penalties being handed down to the Bulldogs in light of the infractions.
The Division 1 Committee on Infractions has announced the fate of a former assistant coach, Angelo Mirando, who was cited for unethical conduct for failing to report the booster's activities when he became aware of them and providing false information during his first two interviews with the NCAA (source). After an ongoing investigation, the NCAA has made the decision to reprimand Mississippi State's recruiting violations with the following penalties (source):
Robert Denton Herring, who has been disassociated from the MSU athletics program since last July, is the booster accused of allegedly making cash payments to a recruit and arranged for complimentary lodging and meals of the recruit's coach, Bryan De'Vinner. De'Vinner had spoken to Mirando about the gifts given, who had confirmed them with the booster and saw no need to take action. A month after MSU's disassociation with the booster, Mirando resigned for what the school termed "unforeseen personal issues."
Freshmen defensive back Will Redmond is the athlete named in the investigation, and despite the accusations, Redmond signed with Mississippi State in February. Redmond was a four-star recruit according to Rivals.com and had offers from Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, among others. According to the NCAA's findings, all eligibility issues have been resolved, therefore Redmond is cleared to play for the 2013 season.

is there a mass problem with new 27 imac and FCPX?
Hi all
I have order a top spec 27 iMac, then read the forum threads on here about its compatibility issues with FCPX. Just been in the apple shop Liverpool, England and they are unaware of any issues so far. I am wondering if ALL forum members are encountering the same FCPX problem or just certain elements. I have a 1-1 session this tuesday so would be happy to see if I can emulate the same problems on their machines right in front of their very eyes ha. |

IAEA Nuclear Security Series
Nuclear security issues relating to the prevention and detection of, and response to, theft, sabotage, unauthorized access and illegal transfer or other malicious acts involving nuclear material and other radioactive substances and their associated facilities are addressed in the IAEA Nuclear Security Series publications. These publications are consistent with, and complement, international nuclear security instruments such as the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its Amendment, the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources, the Supplementary Guidance on the Import and Export of Radioactive Sources, the United Nations Security Council resolutions 1373 and 1540 and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism.
Categories in the IAEA Nuclear Security Series
Publications in the IAEA Nuclear Security Series are issued in the following categories:
- Nuclear Security Fundamentals contain objectives, concepts and principles of nuclear security and provide the basis for security recommendations.
- Recommendations present best practices that should be adopted by Member States in the application of the Nuclear Security Fundamentals.
- Implementing Guides provide further elaboration of the Recommendations in broad areas and suggest measures for their implementation.
- Technical Guidance publications comprise: Reference Manuals, with detailed measures and/or guidance on how to apply the Implementing Guides in specific fields or activities; Training Guides, covering the syllabus and/or manuals for IAEA training courses in the area of nuclear security; and Service Guides, which provide guidance on the conduct and scope of IAEA nuclear security advisory missions.
Drafting and review
The preparation and review of Nuclear Security Series publications involves the IAEA Secretariat, experts from Member States (who assist the IAEA Secretariat in drafting the publications) and the Nuclear Security Guidance Committee (NSGC), which reviews and approves draft publications. Where appropriate, open-ended technical meetings are also held during drafting to provide an opportunity for specialists from Member States and relevant international organizations to review and discuss the draft text. In addition, to ensure a high level of international review and consensus, the Secretariat submits the draft texts to all Member States for a period of 120 days for formal review.
The process for drafting and reviewing publications in the IAEA Nuclear Security Series takes account of confidentiality considerations and recognizes that nuclear security is inseparably linked with general and specific national security concerns. An underlying consideration is that related IAEA safety standards and safeguards activities should be taken into account in the technical content of the publications.
Nuclear Security Guidance Committee
The Nuclear Security Guidance Committee (NSGC) is a standing body of senior representatives in the area of nuclear security, open to all Member States of the Agency. It was established by the Director General in 2012 to make recommendations to the Agency on the development and review of the Nuclear Security Series publications. The objective is to significantly contribute to greater transparency, consensus, quality, coherence and consistency by engaging more Member States in the development of international publications for nuclear security.
- All IAEA Member States have been invited to nominate a member of NSGC, and members are expected to represent the views of their State.
- Relevant international organizations and relevant non-governmental bodies may be invited to attend NSGC meetings as observers.

Sci. STKE, 5 October 2004 REVIEWSThe VGL-Chanome: A Protein Superfamily Specialized for Electrical Signaling and Ionic HomeostasisFrank H. Yu and William A. Catterall1* 1Department of Pharmacology, Mailstop 357280, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195–7280, USA. Gloss: Complex multicellular organisms require rapid and accurate transmission of information among cells and tissues and tight coordination of distant functions. Electrical signals and the resulting brief changes in intracellular calcium, in vertebrates, control contraction of muscle, secretion of hormones, sensation of the environment, processing of information in the brain, and output from the brain to peripheral tissues. In nonexcitable cells, transient changes in intracellular calcium signal many key cellular events, including secretion, gene expression, and cell division. In epithelial cells, huge ion fluxes are conducted across tissue boundaries. All of these physiological processes are mediated in part by members of the voltage-gated ion channel protein superfamily, which constitutes one of the largest groups of signal transduction proteins, ranking third after the G protein–coupled receptors and the protein kinases. Each member of this superfamily contains a similar pore structure, usually covalently attached to regulatory domains that respond to changes in membrane voltage, intracellular signaling molecules, or both. Eight families are included in this protein superfamily—voltage-gated sodium, calcium, and potassium channels; calcium-activated potassium channels; cyclic nucleotide–modulated ion channels; transient receptor potential (TRP) channels; inwardly rectifying potassium channels; and two-pore potassium channels. This STKE Review, with six figures, one table, 233 citations, and three supplemental tables, identifies all of the members of this protein superfamily in the human genome, reviews the molecular and evolutionary relations among these ion channels, and describes their functional roles in cell physiology. *Corresponding author.

It kinda happened ever so often when i first got my Router, but afterwards, it started disconnecting like after every hour or so, which is really getting aoying. Just out of nowhere, it say "A CABLE NETWORK IS UNPLUGGED" when like other times its ok, which means that our setup for the computer names and descriptions seemed to work.
We've switched CAIT 5 cables around, reseted Routers and modems, and while my dad's computer has NEVER disconnected, mine always has for some reason(and yes, it is set for automatic to seek out the IP address.)
Does anyone have any similar problems? Or know how to correct the one I have?
Any input would be great. thanx:D
Ok, if your dad's never disconnects and yours does then the problem is definately not your ISP or the router, at least you can eliminate that, and if you have switched the cabling you can eliminate the cabling, the only things left are your Network Interface Card aka NIC (the physical hardware, or the setup) or your computer. I would start out with that first. Check all your network settings, since your dad's works fine compare the two settings, even if they are differnt NIC's the configs should be about the same (assuming a Windows platform, if you have Linux or another OS please let us know). If the settings are ok what I would be tempted to suggest is that you switch NIC's (assuming thier not on board) with your dad, if you have on board NIC's then see if you know anyone who has a working NIC that you can borrow.
my operating system on both PCs are Windows XP Home Edition.
Also, my comp used to at least stay on longer on the net, but now it disconnects like every hour or so.:rolleyes:
I recently did a system restore on bothcomps(because I Ad-awared some stuff i shouldn't have,so I set the restoration clock back like a week). And so far, it was ok. I think this point is somewhate irrelevent, cuz i did the same to both comps, but my dad's is working as well as it ever did , never disconnecting at any time, and mine doing it quite frequnetly, even before the system restore or ad-ware purge.:cry:
but ya, its mostly annoying, and otherwise, my computer works great.
On another note, could it be a RUNDLL32.EXE problem too?
Check your cables, its sound like theyve died or had a short.
Ya that was my first thought on this, but he said he switched the cables.
go to your network card in the device manager and make sure that you have it set to auto detect and not to full duplex or half duplex...you want it to detect. Also, unplug the cable modem from power and wait 15 seconds. Plug it back in. Sometimes your internet will reject if the MAC address isn't right for your ISP...make sure your ISP doesn't require MAC addys to be registered. The unplug/replug should work great for the ISP DHCP server to assign you a specific addy according to your MAC address...unless they require you to register the MAC addy. Bah, you'll find out either way eh?
Also, check the RJ-45 port (plug in for the cable on your NIC) for misaligned or broken pins. Also check the cable itself for misaligned or broken pins. You also could give your ISP a call and tell them what's going on...it could be a problem with the signal strength dropping out...in which case they'd have to install a repeater to boost the signal. Make sure you have wake-on-LAN settings disabled in your BIOS as those can also cause problems...any related settings can be shut off as well in BIOS. Also, turn off power save settings as well...see if those are the culprit...I've seen those jack up connection before.
Fast User switching also causes some of these problems...I've seen it in XP where it causes a drop of internet connection before. You might make sure that the opposing user is logged all the way out. Just a few things to give a go.
Unfortuntely, I tried all those things, and for some reason, it still sys everything is "working properly" and "Enabled" but yet still says that "a netowrk cable is unplugged."
It used to stay on for longer, but it always seemed to have trouble staying on, without disconnecting. Now it just can only stay on for like 3 minutes, then disconnect.:cry:
I'm thinking about buying a new NIC/Ethernet Adapter since I beleive that should solve the problem in the first place, or if push comes toshove,a COMPLETE restoration back to factory settings(since so far I've done only time-cased restorations that take back settings like a couple of weeks.) But since I've turned back my settings to before we ever had cable to no avail, I'm thinking its not a software issue.
Considering the fact that NICs are very cheap, I'd definitely try that next (especially since you say the problem is getting worse over time). Since you seem to have ruled out all other hardware, the NIC is about all that's left. With everything else you say you've done, if the problem still occurs with a new NIC, you're almost certainly looking at a software prblem/conflict.
Could be someones hacking you.... should check your router activity light, if your computer is idle but the activity light is blinking hard then your computer is probably being used or accessed by someone else. Happend to me once.. i reformatted my comp (it spreaded through all of my computers so i reformated all 3) and now it works great. If your computer doesnt have any good anti-virus then dont direct connect your broadband with your comp. Maybe your dad has a good anti-virus so they arnt able to hack into his comp. so that can explain why its only happening to your computer. Either you download/install good anti-virus or you reformat all comps connected to the network. Thats what I would do if ive already tried everything.

...That's kind of doubtful behind a hardware firewall. If he were directly connected to the broadband connection, sans a firewall, I would think that likely. But, the probability of someone actually getting through a linksys or similar (they keep those things pretty locked down) router is pretty slim.
yay! i fixed it! I just put in a new ethernet card. thnx for all the help though:cool:
Whenever i connect a new ethernet card to a computer on my network,it does not allow it.I mean it does not allow pinging and connection to the LAN network.However, if i connect an old ethernet card from another computer that was previously on the network, it connects without any problem.Maybe i should note that I manually allocate ip address and i used the same new ip address in both cases.Even onboard network card does not work.I've used new Intel Pro and D-link ethernet adapter on the system to no avail.The on board network card which i also tried is Realtek.Please help.Thanks.
I am already facing same problem with my computer. I reinstall my windows so the problem is solved. But after some of days it's doing same problems again. I think it's any kind of virus which is effecting on computer network ports.

You mentioned that you don't feel qualified to comment on much less to
rank the eastern states. I can start the ball rolling, re: the Urban Northeast
UNE). The disadvantages of the UNE are: cold winters, overpopulation, generally
bad gun laws, socialistic politicians, and high Sheeple Ratio (SR).
However, tens of millions of people live there, so:
1. I live in Philadelphia, for which the natural bugout area is
the Catskills, Lehigh Valley, etc.
PA gun laws are surprisingly good; an oasis of sanity in the UNE:
Shall Issue CCW (and
you can carry virtually anywhere -- no annoying patchwork of carry-proscribed
areas); no AW laws; no waiting periods. Long guns
can be sold privately without a paper trail, but sadly all handguns
must go through FFL.
This latter is disconcerting because, in open defiance of state
the PA State Police are keeping a firearm registry. That's
why creating a cache of off-paper rifles is all-important.
PA taxes vary: state income taxes are mild but City of Philadelphia
taxes are savagely draconian.
2. New York City: you're screwed. Politics; gun laws; taxes; population;
SR are all hopeless for the foreseeable future. There is no sane
bugout area
around. New York state gun laws are only marginally better than
NYC. NJ is hopeless too. Your best bet might be CT.
3. Boston area. Look north. I can't comment on Maine, but both
NH and VT are excellent choices, especially with regard to gun
laws. I'll try to have
my NH friend contribute more info.
JWR Replies: Okay, you other easterners, chime in! Here is you chance to jump up on the virtual soap box and extol the virtues (or non-virtues) of the eastern states and particular counties within them!

Running cranks can put bass in the boat all year long—especially now.
This season's late spring delayed ice-out and kept water temperatures cold across the northern tier of the Bass Belt. While this could cause some bass fans to forgo crankbaits in favor of finesse, they're still a top option for putting fish in the boat.
Begin The Search
The keys to success are targeting high-percentage areas with the right baits and presentations. Let's start with location. In spring, bass migrate to the warmest water they can find. Dark-bottomed bays, canals, coves and backwaters are classic spring spots for winter-weary bass to soak up a little warmth. Bass also like to tuck tight to things that warm up. When fishing a flat, for example, look for them positioned near stumps or logs.
As you cast likely cover and structure, think about how your bait will approach the area where you think the fish are holding. You want bass to see your bait and have time to react to it (the same holds true in summer, but it's absolutely critical in spring). Avoid throwing the bait so it passes directly overhead, because that limits the bass to a very narrow window of attack. Instead, try to figure out the best angles.
Sometimes this means making multiple passes over the same area. After fishing my way across a promising spot, I often turn around and work back through it at a different angle. Keep in mind, though, that shallow spring bass can be spooky, so keep noise to a minimum. I leave the trolling motor running on a low setting, rather than turning it on in bursts.
The Right Bait
Lure selection hinges on small baits. I like 2- to 2½-inchers that produce a digging, shimmying action. One of my favorites is Rapala's new Scatter Rap Crank. It hunts back and forth, with a moderately erratic action at slow speeds, and the faster you go, the wider the action becomes.
Besides giving the bait great moves, the potato-chip shaped, scatter lip design also fishes through woody cover well, careening off the side of snags. The Scatter Rap is very similar to the Storm Wiggle Wart, which also offers tremendous action, vibration and rattle to let bass know it's coming.
In the clear conditions so common in natural lakes this time of year, subtle lure colors are best. The fish have time to look at the bait—they're not racing up at 30 mph to grab it like they will later in the season.
To help keep a low profile, I use 12-pound fluorocarbon, which is plenty strong and virtually invisible. Of course, if you're facing low-vis conditions in a rain-swollen creek arm or other scenario, brighter color patterns can help bass home in on your bait.
As you cast likely cover and structure, think about how your bait will approach the area where you think the fish are holding.
Cool-water cranking is almost like worm fishing. It's a pause-and-pull affair that gives bass a chance to get the bait. Cast out, reel the bait down, then make a three- to four-foot pull, pause the bait, twitch it, and pull it to bottom again.
That being said, it's smart to experiment with aggressive approaches, too, because sometimes they'll trip the fish's trigger. Try banging the bait off rocks or timber—but don't go too fast, because the water is still pretty cold.
There are also times a big bait, such as a 3-inch Rapala DT-14, outperforms smaller cranks. It's a deep diver, but I fish it slow and steady in shallow water, grinding bottom to aggravate the bass.
Migrate With Them
As water temperatures rise into the 60s, the urge to spawn takes over. Bass gravitate to firm-bottom shallows, often near weedgrowth, stumps, logs or docks. A lake's fish don't all spawn at once, however, and by the time water temperatures reach the high 60s and low 70s, bass are often scattered around the lake, in different stages of the spawn.
Cranks shine as search baits here, too. In fact, they're deadly weapons all spring. Fish them in fast-warming areas early, then use them to scout bedding areas, adjacent weed flats, tributary points, channel edges and flooded woody cover later.
Just remember to keep it slow when the water temperature is less than 60—or after a cool front pushes through later in spring, because in the end, patience is the key to cold-water cranking.

A 17-year-old male presented to a Level-1 trauma center after sustaining multiple injuries in a head-on motor vehicle collision. Injuries included closed-head trauma, left pneumothorax, and blunt abdominal trauma. A CT scan of the abdomen was performed (figure 1), followed by angiography (figure 2).
Diffuse splenic injury, "Seurat" spleen
CT scan of the abdomen demonstrates multiple lacerations (Grade 4) within the spleen. There is a small amount of intraperitoneal blood around the spleen. No extravasation of contrast material or active hemorrhage is seen. Celiac angiogram and selective splenic artery angiogram show diffuse, small punctate pockets of contrast material throughout the spleen. Several small pseudoaneurysms are seen. No active bleeding was present at angiography. Embolization of the main splenic artery was performed.
Arteriographic findings have often been compared to famous works of art and the artists themselves. Splenic injuries with multiple, punctate pseudoaneurysms demonstrate a nice similarity with the pointilistic approach of George Seurat (1859-1891). 1 Seurat, a 19th century French neo-impressionist, is remembered for his technique called "pointilism" that uses small dots or strokes of contrasting color to create subtle changes in form. A fine example of Seurat's work is "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." The "Seurat" spleen pattern may be diffuse or involve focal areas within the injured spleen.
Splenic injury is a common sequela of blunt abdominal trauma. Non-operative management of hemodynamically stable patients with splenic injuries has become an increasingly more prevalent option than splenectomy. The benefits of splenic salvage in preventing the risk of overwhelming sepsis in postsplenectomy patients have been documented. 2 Computed tomography is a widely accepted and reliable diagnostic procedure to image abdominal injury, identify hemoperitoneum, and stage splenic injury. 3 The inability of CT to reliably predict successful nonoperative management is also well recognized, 4 although several recent studies suggest that identification of an abnormal contrast blush on CT may be a useful predictor of failure of non-operative management. 5 Diagnostic arteriography is a frequently used to image and assess the extent of splenic injury. By accurately assessing the degree of splenic injury, a higher confidence level of predicting the success of non-operative management can be achieved. If active bleeding of the spleen is determined at arteriography, a therapeutic embolization can stop the hemorrhage.
Sclafani and colleagues 6 propose angio-graphically analyzing all splenic injuries diagnosed by CT scan as long as the patient remains hemodynamically stable. A celiac arteriogram is performed initially to evaluate the spleen and liver. A selective, two-view, splenic arteriogram is then performed to diagnose the presence of active bleeding. The absence of active bleeding at arterio-graphy predicts successful non-surgical management in most instances. The presence of a pseudo-aneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, or active contrast extravasation indicates ongoing hemorrhage that can lead to expansile hematoma formation, recurrent bleeding, and delayed splenic rupture in some patients.
Main splenic artery embolization of active bleeding is an effective method to achieve hemostasis in hemodynamically stable patients. Embolization temporarily reduces splenic blood flow and splenic arterial pressure and allows healing at the injury site. Main splenic embolization in the setting of trauma should be performed with stainless steel coils and not particulate embolization material. It is preferable to use larger coils than smaller coils, which have the potential to migrate into the distal splenic artery. After arterial occlusion is achieved by coil embolization, an angiogram is repeated to confirm the presence of collateral flow. Splenic perfusion is maintained via collateral vessels, preventing major splenic infarction. It is important to recognize that immediate complete hemostasis may not be accomplished as time is required to resolve the intrasplenic extravasastion.
Conservative management of splenic injuries has created an environment conducive to application of interventional radiological techniques for these patients. Diagnosis of splenic injury by CT and angiographic demonstration and treatment of active bleeding by transcatheter embolization permit successful nonoperative management of most splenic injuries occurring in hemodynamically stable patients.
