Linux Defenders Rail Against Dubious Patents
The Open Invention Network (OIN) organization has instituted the Linux Defenders program with the goal to improve the overall quality of patents and shield against patent trolls.
Open Invention Network promotes innovative software technologies in the open source arena and has been supported by firms such as Red Hat, IBM, Novell and Sony. With its new Linux Defenders project, the organization wants to gather technology innovations to build new tools to ensure that only high quality patents are issued. OIN is financially supported by its Software Freedom Law center (SFLC) and Linux Foundation cosponsors. Chairman of the SFLC Eben Moglen explains: "A large number of poor quality patents have the potential to stifle innovation." The Software Foundation's executive director Jim Zemlin also sees the initiative as a substantial enrichment to the open source community and hopes it gives developers more confidence in their code. As he says, "The open source community is getting an IP rights tool that will limit distractions created from organizations that like to play the FUD game."
The program is directed to any organizations or individuals dealing with patents, including those developing technology, patent lawyers and trademark and patent office examiners. One way to reduce meritless patents is by soliciting prior art to enable screening of applications. Keith Bergelt, CEO of the program, is convinced that Open Source will benefit from fewer lower quality patents "that might otherwise be used by patent trolls or strategics whose behaviors and business models are antithetical to true innovation and are thus threatened by Linux."
The OIN has more information at their website, linuxdefenders.org, and encourages contributions from software developers and those involved with trademarks and patents.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
As mayors across the state urge Indiana lawmakers to take action to combat the problem of methamphetamine abuse, local city leaders remain unsure that new laws are the answer.
Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler joined several other Hoosier mayors testified Wednesday before a House committee considering a bill that would restrict the sales of pseudoephedrine, the key ingredient in homemade meth-cooking methods. The bill, which was already passed by the Indiana Senate, would take several measures to limit excessive purchases of pseudoephedrine, including cutting a consumer's alloted purchase amount per year from 86.4 grams to 61 grams.
A bill originally proposed to make pseudoephedrine a doctor-prescribed drug failed to make it out of committee.
During the hearing, Tyler said he doesn't think Indiana can properly solve the issue without action from the Statehouse.
Agencies across the state busted more than 1,700 labs in 2012, the highest mark in Indiana history. Madison County led the state in meth-related arrests in 2012 and was second in the country. The county dismantled 140 meth labs last year, and the Drug Task Force has been making meth lab raids weekly in 2013.
Earlier this month, a third member of the Hedgecraft family of Alexandria was sentenced to prison time after meth-related convictions.
Still, Anderson Mayor Kevin Smith said he has mixed feelings about adding new laws to fight the problem.
"The problem is, pseudoephedrine has legitimate purposes for people who don't abuse it, and we don't want to discourage that," Smith said. "But we definitely have a problem of abuse. But I'm not sure the fix of requiring a doctor's prescription will resolve the problem.
Smith wanted to make clear he's been working with mayors and other lawmakers to pursue effective legislation to fight meth abuse that wouldn't handcuff valid uses of pseudoephedrine.
"This is a heinous problem," Smith said. "But if you think about the case of drug use in this country in the past, criminals and addicts will find ways around the rules. The laws could be convenient for a while, but it could end up making the problem worse in the long run.
Elwood Mayor Ron Arnold was also unsure of how to deal with the problem. Elwood Public Information Officer Jeff Howe said Arnold declined to speak about the topic because he hasn't been able to study enough of the proposed legislation.
Drug Task Force officers have said the perception of meth in Madison County could be skewed. They believe meth abuse is nearly uniform across the state, and Madison County's arrest numbers are high because law enforcement and prosecutors are aggressive in finding labs.
The high arrest and conviction numbers are a source of pride, one officer said.

|Lady Green faithful honors cagers
|Monday, March 18, 2013 2:48 PM
By BOB WEBER
The Delphos Herald
OTTOVILLE — The Ottoville Community gathered on Sunday afternoon to show their appreciation and thanks to the Lady Green basketball team and coaches and to celebrate a fantastic 27-1 season.
The Lady Green's only defeat came at Friday afternoon's hard-fought Division IV State semifinal matchup against Fort Loramie, the eventual champion.
Although the team took this loss hard, head coach Dave Kleman reminded them that "If this is the worst day of your life, then your life is pretty good."
During the invocation at Sunday's celebration, Father John Stites prayed that this team would realize how much success they have had and how it has brought the community together.
And not only was this team supported by the community but by the entire county and surrounding communities as well. This was evident as fire trucks from Delphos, Continental, Fort Jennings, Columbus Grove, Ottawa, Glandorf, Leipsic, Kalida, and Miller City joined in the welcome-home parade for the team on Saturday evening around 9:30 p.m.
To recap the 2012-13 campaign, Ottoville's Lady Green finished the regular season with a record of 21-0. They claimed the Putnam County League Championship with a league record of 7-0. Victories over Lincolnview and Crestview gave the Lady Green the District crown and they went on to conquer Leipsic and Arcadia to claim the Regional Championship title. The 2012-13 Lady Green basketball team consisted of four seniors, four juniors, six sophomores and one freshman.
Speaking at the celebration, the seniors (Rachel Beining, Abby Siefker, Rachel Turnwald and Nicole Vorst) reflected on what a wonderful basketball career they have had and the amazing support they have received from everyone in the community. They also thanked the Lady Green players from earlier years for being role models and encouraged young Lady Green hopefuls to continue to work hard and one day bring home that state title.
Kleman shared statistics about the team's record during these girls' four years, including going undefeated on their home court and compiling a record of 92-6 in their high school careers.
This season also saw a number of milestones reached: Siefker scored her 1,000th point and hauled down her 1,000th rebound; and Kleman notched his 400th career win in 21 seasons of coaching.
The players also garnered many awards including:
Siefker - 1st Team, Player of the Year, Scholastic Award
Beining - 1st Team, Scholastic Award
Vorst - 2nd Team
Turnwald - Honorable Mention, Scholastic Award
Junior Taylor Mangas - Honorable Mention
Kleman - Coach of the Year
Siefker - 1st Team, Player of the Year
Beining - Honorable Mention
Vorst - Honorable Mention
Kleman - Coach of the Year
Siefker - 1st Team, Player of the Year
Kleman - Coach of the Year
As the calendar and the season turns to spring, the Lady Green faithful will never forget the ride these girls allowed them to enjoy. Thanks for all the memories – best of luck to the four seniors in their upcoming graduation and college endeavors.

A prominent 2011 paper in Science found that white researchers receive grants from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) at nearly twice the rate that African American researchers do (D. K. Ginther et al. Science 333, 1015–1019; 2011). Although some of the disparity could be explained by differences in education, institution and publication record, the sheer magnitude of the result seemed to suggest that something more insidious was at play.

US contract research organizations are multiplying to meet drug-makers' outsourcing needs.
US drug-makers are outsourcing more and more of their research and development, mainly to contract research organizations, according to figures released in July by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). The shift could be good news for researchers seeking positions in industry. In 1991, pharmaceutical companies spent about US$800 million on external research and development, but that skyrocketed to $13 billion in 2011, says John Jankowski, head of research and development statistics at the NSF. That growth outstrips that of any other sector. In 1991, industrial extramural research spending totalled $3.3 billion, but by 2011, spending had risen to $25.3 billion for domestic companies alone. Pharmaceutical firms' share of that total was 23% in 1991, but ballooned to 51% by 2011. Jankowski says that much of the increase comes from the outsourcing of clinical trials. The number of US contract research organizations has risen to match the demand, from around 800 in 2000 to more than 3,100 by the end of 2011, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development in Boston, Massachusetts. - Nature 512, 106, 06 August 2014

The increasing pace of human discovery is a curse – we need to rethink what it means to publish the results of research.
The rapid growth of scientific literature is often seen as evidence, if evidence were needed, that the pace of human discovery is accelerating. On the contrary, however, it is becoming a curse – one that requires us to radically rethink what it means to publish the results of research.
Relentlessly – day after day, year after year – scientists are uncovering new facts about the world. If anything, the startling rate at which this happens appears to be increasing, but how would we know if such an impression was true? One way is to look at the rate at which scientific papers are published and these have indeed been appearing at an ever-increasing rates for decades or even centuries.

Group of Eight vice chancellor describes deregulation as 'holy grail' for universities.
Australia's prestigious Group of Eight (Go8) universities are likely to reduce the number of people they enrol while increasing fees for each student after deregulation, a key backer of the reforms has predicted.
Ian Young, vice chancellor of the Australian National University (ANU) and chairman of the Go8, argued this downsizing would be good news for the non-Go8 universities as it would "free up" more capable students to attend other institutions – "a trickle-down or a flow-across effect".

SAN FRANCISCO -- In discussions about the gender gap among tenured professors at research universities, there is little dispute that there are far more men than women with tenure in most disciplines. But why? Many have speculated that men are outperforming women in research, which is particularly valued over teaching and service at research universities. With women (of those with children) shouldering a disproportionate share of child care, the theory goes, they may not be able to keep up with publishing and research to the same extent as their male counterparts.

Leading directory tightens listing criteria to weed out rogue journals.
When Lars Bjørnshauge founded a website to index open-access journals in 2003, just 300 titles made the list. But over the next decade, the open-access publishing market exploded, and Bjørnshauge's Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) along with it. Today the DOAJ comprises almost 10,000 journals — and its main problem is not finding new publications to include, but keeping the dodgy operators out.(...) - by Richard Van Noorden, Nature, 6 August 2014

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today unveiled its answer to a White House mandate to make the research papers it funds free for anyone to read: a Web portal that will link to full-text papers a year after they're published. Once researchers are up to speed and submitting their manuscripts, that will mean 20,000 to 30,000 new free papers a year on energy research, physics, and other scientific topics.

A row has erupted over the job of chief science adviser to the European Commission, a post created in 2012. Jean-Claude Juncker, the new commission's president-elect, must decide whether to keep the post; nine nongovernmental organizations have called on him to scrap it because they are angered by the support of the current science adviser, Anne Glover, for genetically modified organisms. Many scientific organizations want to keep the position. But even Glover's supporters admit that her position has problems—including a tiny budget and an ill-defined mandate—that the new commission, set to take office in November, needs to fix.

FASEB's Stand Up For Science competition winner brings perspective to the question of why we need to fund basic research.

The winning video is below, and it makes a compelling argument for the funding of basic science. So much of the science funding mindset has seemingly been influenced by Wall Street's "get rich quick" ethos.

Publication in high status refereed journals has become a major criterion of academic success in the competitive environment of global higher education. Appearing in internationally circulated journals published in English is especially prestigious. Universities are engaged in a global arms race of publication; and academics are the shock troops of the struggle.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Neighbors in one Wilmington community are complaining about a noisy nuisance.
Those living in the Holly Tree and Pine Valley communities tell us they're seeing and hearing fireworks every night. Sarah Higgins said someone is setting them off at all hours of the night.
"You'll hear one and you don't hear anything else," she said. "A couple hours later, you'll hear another one. They are coming from different sides of the neighborhood. I just don't know where they're coming from. I don't mind people celebrating, having a good time but two weeks solid, it's starting to get a little ridiculous."
Several other neighbors told us they've been hearing the booms.
In North Carolina, fireworks that explode or project into the air are illegal.
Wilmington police say they haven't received many noise complaints from the neighborhood.
Higgins said she has not called police because she doesn't want to distract them from more important work.
She hopes the person setting them off stops, so she and her family can sleep better at night.

G4 Guitar Method - Strathfield
Daniel Holmes
The G4 GUITAR Difference
G4 GUITAR is an Australia wide standard in guitar learning based on The G4 GUITAR METHOD. Originally based on a proven structure system of learning guitar the G4 GUITAR METHOD has since evolved into the standard recognised method of learning guitar in Australia.
G4 GUITAR METHOD TEACHERS must meet a high standard and are specifically trained in teaching guitar but most importantly are accountable. Going to private teachers who have no accountability is always a gamble as they answer to no one and in most cases are self taught.
We welcome beginners, intermediate and advanced students from ages 4 years to adults. The G4 GUITAR METHOD ultimately prepares students to play guitar at a professional level and to meet recognised standards set down by the Australian Music Examination Board. AMEB.
Learning with G4 GUITAR gives you the experience of some of the best guitar teachers in the world. We are on the cutting edge of music learning and our student results say it all. Please check our STUDENT TESTIMONIALS.

Midnight Mélange was inspired by the beauty and romance of Paris at night. "Paris in the daytime is beautiful, but Paris at night is spectacular. . . It's about dreams. It's about the contrast of dark and light," muses David Yurman, remembering his first moments of inspiration. The dramatic transformation of the city and sky as night descends is reflected in diamonds set in darkened silver.

Sutton gets 10th All-American selection
The accolades keep on coming in for Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton.
A junior from Corona, California, Sutton was awarded his 10th All-American selection when he was named a Phil Steele Postseason Second Team.
There were few defensive players in the country as dominant as Sutton in 2012.
After recording 58 total tackles (20 for loss), 10.5 sacks and three forced fumbles, Sutton was named the Pat Tillman Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Sutton and the Sun Devils return to action on December 29 in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl when they take on the Navy Midshipmen.
The bowl game could be Sutton's last as a Sun Devil.
The junior is expected to announce whether he will return for his senior season or declare for the NFL draft sometime after the team's showdown with Navy.

If the Big Three isn't working, how about a Big Four? That seems to be the thinking in the Boston front office, with rumors that the Celtics are considering a mega-deal with the Wizards that would center around a Ray Allen for Antawan Jamison and Caron Butler swap, according to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski.
To make the salaries work, the Celtics would send the Wizards the expiring contracts of Ray Allen, J.R. Giddens and Brian Scalabrine in return for Jamison and Butler. The proposed deal would allow Boston to rebuild on the fly, getting younger, bigger and more athletic, as they try to contend for another one or two years with their present core. A potential lineup of Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Kevin Garnett would certainly thrust Boston back into Eastern Conference title contention, assuming 1) they could keep that group healthy and 2) they could figure out a way to find enough shots for everyone.
Boston fans at SB Nation's Celtics Blog certainly approve of the potential move, and a few of them wondering if they might even get Ray Allen back, assuming the Wizards buy him out.
The biggest stumbling block will be whether Boston's ownership will approve taking on the $24 million in additional salary for next season that this deal would entail, as well as the $15 million Jamison is owed two years from now (which Wojnarowski points out might not have to be paid if there is a lockout). But for a team in win-now mode, those cap hits are likely of secondary importance.
As for the Wizards, this deal would clear some $23 million in cap space, and leave them with no players under contract past this season besides Andray Blatche, Nick Young, Javale McGee...and Gilbert Arenas. While it would be disappointing for the team not to get some assets (prospects or picks) back for Jamison or Butler, they'd be positioned to make a run at one of this offseason's marquee free agents, as well as to tank quite nicely for the draft lottery (according to ESPN's trade calculator, this move would make the Wizards five games worse, while the Celtics would improve a more modest two games).
This deal would also meet SB Nation's Mike Prada's criteria of moving Jamison as the team's top priority, since his deal is a year longer than Butler's, and would be more of a cap killer under a hypothetical new CBA with shorter, smaller contracts. And, of course, the elephant in the room with the Wizards continues to be what the team will do with Gilbert Arenas. If they do go ahead and void his contract, despite the likely considerable legal difficulties, they will suddenly emerge as a team with a bright, bright future. They'd more or less be able to copy the Oklahoma City Thunder's playbook, and rebuild with lottery picks and loads of cap space. Of course, they'd have to make the right decisions with those picks and free agents, but there would still be more reason for hope in Washington than there has been in quite a few years.

We recently cruised on a B2B on the Spirit over Christmas. This is a very special ship - obviously not built to NCL's requirements, which showed in the placement of the Blue Lagoon. However, she has a most attractive Asian decor, with some interesting and unusual artefacts dotted around. The balcony cabin was on the small side, but perfectly functional, clean and pleasant.
The staff are truly exceptional - very friendly and service oriented. The food was very good and well presented and we enjoyed the specialty restaurants. The Casino was very hot and smokey - which prevented us spending as much time there as we usually do, which was a pity, as the staff there were very attentive.
We really enjoyed this ship - its the perfect size - not too large, but large enough to have all the entertainment facilities we needed. No climbing wall etc., but there was a very nice pool area for small children.
The music on board was excellent - varied enough to suit most tastes.
The senior officers were very approachable and, except for the Captain, very visible. We can't comment on the ports, as we spent sixteen days on board without getting off once!! We cruise for the ships not the ports.
I can thoroughly recommend this ship - perhaps older in style than the new glitzy ships, but very elegant and offering a very enjoyable experience.

Improving the UV Exposure of Sunscreen During In vitro Testing
Aug 25, 2014
In any sun protection evaluation method, an irradiation step is required to determine the photostability of the UV filters in a product. The aim of this study was to identify key parameters involved to improve this UV exposure. Here, the authors consider temperature at the substrate surface, air flow influence and beam uniformity during UV exposition.
Quantifying the Performance of Hair Styling Products—Part 2
Aug 21, 2014
A previous article discussed traditional measurements to assess the properties of hair spray products. However, the properties of polymer films deposited by these products are not constant and can be altered by both formulation means and environmental conditions. This article highlights additional useful measurement techniques for characterizing these film properties.
Testing and Developing a Sugar-derived Surfactant Blend for Delicate Skin
Jul 1, 2014
Vegetable-derived, mild and sustainable skin cleansing ingredients are in demand, and this has led to the development of new detergent structures. Described here is a combination of two mild surfactants that fulfils these requirements using the concept of "interrupted soap" to impart mildness. Studies to verify the functional, sensorial and mild characteristics of the new blend are detailed.
From the Archives … Flexabrasion: A Method for Evaluating Hair Strength
Jun 1, 2014
From the December 2001 issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries, this article describes how both bending and abrasion should be tested–along with extension–when evaluating hair strength, as the authors show here in tests of an active developed to increase the strength of bleached hair.
Quantifying the Performance of Hair Styling Products
May 20, 2014
There are two general classifications of hair styling products—those that help with style creation and those that prolong the style. Both facilitating style creation and promoting hold longevity stem from the presence of water-soluble polymers in formulations. This paper discusses methods to evaluate these properties and quantify performance.
Proposed Method to Evaluate the Microbiological Stability of Cosmetics During Use
May 1, 2014
The authors propose an approach to assess the microbial stability of a product during use, referred to as the Microbiological Use Test (MUT), and apply this analysis in case studies to predict the microbiological risk of commercial products. The described test has been used successfully in the development of cosmetics.
Correlating Aging with Skin's Mechanical and Optical Properties
May 1, 2014
The aim of this study was to monitor the evolution of biomechanical and optical properties of the skin with aging. Different biophysical parameters were measured, including skin: elasticity and firmness, color, brightness, fluorescence emission, sebum content, hydration and pH. A significant evolution of the evaluated parameters with aging was observed.
Octocrylene Concerns Flag Industry's Attention
Apr 23, 2014
The industry reacts to a new study published in Contact Dermatitis reviews reports of the UV absorber octocrylene for its potential to cause photo contact allergy.
Sandblasting to Improve the Reproducibility of In vitro Sunscreen Evaluation
Mar 20, 2014
SPF test results from substrates treated using a traditional sandblasting technique are compared with those from substrates treated using a new process. Based on the topographic control of 10 batches and 34 sunscreen evaluations, the authors concluded the new process had better topographic reproducibility, consequently improving the SPF repeatability and reproducibility in vitro.
Researchers Dig Deeper Into Relationship Between Bacteria and Atopic Dermatitis
Mar 4, 2014
Researchers from the Drexel University College of Medicine have established a clearer relationship between Staphylococci bacteria and the conditions atopic dermatitis (AD) and eczema.
Collagens I and III, and Elastin Activation for Anti-aging
Feb 24, 2014
As an alternative to semi-invasive facial rejuvenation techniques, the authors developed an active ingredient to reactivate senescent fibroblasts by stimulating metabolic pathways for collagens I and III, and elastin. The biological activity of the resulting ingredient is investigated here using in vitro models, ex vivo explants and human volunteers.
Measuring the Water Content of Hair
Feb 21, 2014
Consumers have demonstrated a clear desire for hair that isn't "dried out" while also demonstrating a clear distaste for the effects of high humidity on hair. To find the balance in creating products, it is necessary to have an accurate means of measuring hair's water content. This article describes equipment used to perform this task while highlighting experimental variables that can produce suspect results and lead to incorrect conclusions.
'Anti-imperfection' Claims
Jan 24, 2014
Four tests can be undertaken to substantiate the claims covered in this article. Colorimetry analyzes pre- and post-product application skin tone. A Cutometer or dermal torque meter measures the rate of skin extension pre- and post-product treatment, and stratum corneum turnover tests and acute profilometry studies show the rate at which skin is renewed or changes in the evenness of skin occur.

This ban in the Brazilian state follows a ban from India, Israel and the European Union, as well as debate and potential regulation changes in countries like China.
Measuring Hair Strength, Part II: Fiber Breakage
Jan 12, 2014
In the mechanical testing world, the tendency for materials to fail under a repeated stimulus is termed fatigue testing, and this article discusses this topic in relation to hair breakage. It will be shown that this alternative testing approach provides considerable insight into the cause of hair breakage, and subsequently allows for the identification of strategies for its minimization; it will also be demonstrated how learning this provides the underlying theory by which anti-breakage and even "strengthening" claims are crafted.

THE ceiling keeps getting higher for Orange boxer Brock Campbell, who has cemented his place as Orange's brightest junior boxing prospect.
Having added the 57kg Australian Schoolboy title and the 60kg NSW Schoolboy title to his trophy cabinet over the last 12 months, Campbell has been named in the NSW team to contest the 2014 Australian Amateur Boxing Championships (AABC) in Perth, in April.
Winning the state title ensured Campbell a place in the selection trials, set for this weekend. However, Campbell was left without a challenger, giving him automatic selection.
The AABCs are a selection process for the Australian team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. However, because Campbell is only 15 he is ineligible for selection.
"That sort of thing is the ultimate goal," Brock's father Scott Campbell said.
"It does open up a few other international tournaments if he was to win, over the next couple of years I think."
Campbell has moved up a division this year, from the 57kg up to 60kg Schoolboys.
"Having won the title [57kg] last year, this is a chance to back that up with another one," Scott Campbell said.
"It's the end result of a lot of hard work for him, and Sutho [Brock's trainer, Glen Sutherland]," Scott added.
"Sutho puts in a lot of his time with Brock."
"We won't know who I fight until I get there though I think," Brock added.
Sutherland was full of praise for his student, lauding his work ethic.
"He works really hard, and has huge amounts of ability," Sutherland said.
"Surprisingly for a kid his size, he has a lot of power too behind his punches."
The 15-year-old orthodox fighter won't be short of time in the ring leading into the championships.
Last Saturday, Campbell won a unanimous points decision over 14-year-old Kyle Schnider.
"It was pretty much just a practice fight," Campbell said of the bout.
"I had to pick my work rate up from last fights, which I did really well. I out boxed him."

Just saw this on the home page and people are claiming that the thermal expansion resultant from torch use will cause rock shattering (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-setting). I doubt it (as long as you're not a dildo about it). I am from the wet Northeast and this was common practice. As long as the holds you're torching have water on the hold surface than rock temps should not be exceeding past 100 c (212 f). Once the hold is dry... you tend to move the torch over to some other wetness. Anyone care to have a well thought-out scientific debate or shall we just consider this debunked (yes I realize that without looking into the effects of TE at 100 c I haven't really proved anything, but I'm lazy and enjoy debate, hence the post).
Beat ya to this one: www.mountainproject.com/v/got-blowtorch/107953037__1 ;) Yea, it could mark or damage the rock per the science but anyone who has done it knows it doesn't as long as you are not a "dildo" as you say. Flame on!
I've studied rock mechanics for 30 years and can't answer the question with any certainty. Seems like there are 4 possible effects; rock thermal expansion differentials (spalling); water to steam; low temperature mineral effects; and possibly chalk/sweat/oils in the pore space. The details of rock type, porosity, permeability, pore size, minerals (especially low tempoerature clays and zeolites) would be really important in all 4 effects. I can imagine anything from no effect at all (imagine a clean, unaltered, unweathered granite) to really messy (imagine heating a sandstone made of weathered volcanic clasts with water bound in clays and low temperature zeolites and an outside layer of chalk/sweat/oil hand scum being heated and permanently driven into the pore space). Interesting question though
Just please stay off the schist with your friggen blowtorch.
I've used a blowtorch to burn out the thick roots left after removing cactus off my routes here in the Potrero Chico.
As a geomorphologist who has studied rock weathering, there is little doubt in my mind that a blowtorch will damage rock. It has been shown that rapid surface heating causes microfractures within the rock. This happens naturally with daily heating cycles, but rate and magnitude are really important. A blowtorch heats faster and hotter than sunlight and can probably cause a lot more damage (at least at the surface). The damage will not likely be visible while you're doing it, but be assured that it will weaken the rock.
I have personally caused so-called bluestone pavers to fracture (spalling) with a blowtorch. I was really putting the torch to it, but to imply that any non-dildo style blowtorching is harmless is kind of dumb. You may well be capable of torching holds with no problems, but to encourage it among the general public will not end well. By the way, when it explodes, you'll want to be wearing safety glasses.
So if it's a big enough of a dildo, wear safety glasses?
Around here people build campfires wherever they want. Sometimes idiots build fires right next to a cliff or boulder. I've seen whole sections of sandstone cliff break off due to this.
Do you know what happens to water when it turns to steam? It expands. Somewhere around 1100 times the volume. You can't tell me that water embedded in pores, escaping those pores due to high heat being placed on it will have absolutely no effect on the rock itself. Yeah, once or twice drying it out likely won't do much, but drying it repeatedly sure will. I have 'thermaled' granite a few times to get rid of saw marks at work. You wet the rock, then hit it with an acetelyne torch. The torch then causes spalling on the surface- as long as the torch is not held in one place too long. No, I don't imagine anyone is using an acetelyne torch to dry holds, but the concept is still the same.
Could lead to a whole new method for chipping... Oxy-Acetelyne torches to creatively spall.... Would the result look more or less natural than traditional chipping? Sorry if I've promoted any thread drift.
Im loving all the completely ridiculous analogies. Seriously, you would have to try pretty hard muck up rock with one of those hobby torches. We aren't talking about industrial equipment here, they are little $10 things. A wreaking ball and hammer aren't the same thing, kudos to that analogy for getting it right.
It depends on the rock, red. If it is some big sloper on granite, probably no problem unless it is done over and over again. If it is on flakes or porous rock where water is trapped then you can have a problem more quickly. Like somebody said before, steam is very powerful. It is not like you have to heat the rock up to melting temperature to do damage. Even without steam, thermal expansion can make the surface flake off. Plus, you might fuck up the glue you didn't know was behind that flake ;)

State officials say that the State Police Crime Lab has eliminated all case backlogs.Gov. Bobby Jindal said that clearing the backlog is the result of increased funding for equipment and the expansion of the lab in 2009.The turnaround time on cases has been reduced from a high of just under three years to less than 15 days."Having a crime lab that operates in real time will also help us assist local law enforcement faster and focus on advanced training for law enforcement personnel so we can continue fighting crime in our communities," said Jindal. "The work completed by our law enforcement personnel directly contributes to a safer Louisiana – and we are forever grateful for their service to protect our people."In the last five years, the lab has eliminated a backlog of more than 9,300 cases. Before the backlog was reduced, the lab had to outsource evidence to other labs. The backlog also made it more difficult to provide advanced training to examiners and instruction to other agencies."The efficiency of the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab is unprecedented in the forensic science field," said State Police Col. Mike Edmonson. "I know of no other crime lab in the country that can provide real time forensic analysis across all disciplines to our law enforcement partners."

What a wonderful surprise...a quality wine opener that actually works! The packaging is superb and makes a great wedding gift! I know what we're getting my nephew for his wedding gift!
Pittsburgh, PA
I bought one of these sets for a family member a few years back. I was impressed with its quality, functionability, and reliability. When our cheap knockoff recently broke, I ordered the real thing from IWA for ourselves. IWA delivered as promised, on time, and in perfect condition. I 'd recommend the Rabbit for anyone committed to never being embarrased by a wine cork.
Bastrop TX
We can't get the rabbit to work. A friend bought a similar one at costco several years ago and it worked so well, I thought I'd get one for my husband (who is 82). I don't have good use of my left hand (ulnar nerve problems) and his muscles are weak as well. The spiral goes down into the cork ok, but when we reverse the handle, the cork stays in the bottle and the spiral comes out without the cork!! We are still using the kitchen-aid corkscrew. This is in no way a problem with the product - just two old people with limited strenght! I don't think I should rate the product based on our difficulties, but based on the looks of it, I'll give it a "5". It was delivered way sooner than expected and is a beautiful product. We'll keep working with it. Cheers!

The set is excellent. The corkscrew works easily and cleanly, The foil cutter is good. The champagne stopper works well for wines that may build up pressure. I owuld recommend this kit and even buy as gift.

Last edited by sunil304047; 2011-04-01 at 12:48. Reason: More Info
Secondly if i do the signsis on that sis file that command show:-- xyz.sis is not a sis file
Please its urgent..
Got your PM, however as I wrote a couple days ago, I really do not know if there is any kind of Symbian Signing for S60 2nd edition code, express or anything else. You would need to contact someone from Symbian Signed, in fact it would have been a good idea to do so prior to any attempt to send S60 2nd edition content for signing.
I PM you because of frustration. yes i got your suggestion, mailed to the symbianSigned person, hope will get reply soon. Thanks for giving me your precious time and suggestion.
Although i mailed to the symbianSigned authority, meanwhile if anyone already faced this type of problem please share your thoughts....
My motive is to remove the warnings caused because of lack of signing(developer or express) in 2nd edition. Now for that i want to do the
signing just like as in 3rd edition but when i do signsis command as:-
signsis xyz.sis xyzsigned.sis abc.cer abc.key
It gives me error as:- xyz.sis is not a sis file.
Then for that the next option i tried is, i did digitally signed the application and do the makesis command as:-
makesis xyz.pkg, now i got a xyz.sis file it runs in my mobile but when i submit my application to the symbianSigned website for application submittion, it gives me result as:-
Signing of xyz.sis failed.
reason is nothing,i assume it would be because of not doing the signsis.
Hi Sunil,
I'm impressed that you are still working with these 2nd edition devices, I hope you have a good market still.
The signsis tool which you are using is not suitable for signing 2nd edition sis files (SIS file format), it only works for 3rd edition and later devices (SISX file format). This is why the tool tells you that xyz.sis is not a sis file. In fact, the tool should say "is not a SISX file" but that makes little difference.
The signing of the 2nd edition sis file is done by makesis, which expects to find the signign certificate and key specified in the PKG file itself, through dedicated statement
Try this and then install the file generated by makesis on your phone.Code:; Certificate *"my_certificate.key","my_certificate.cer"

First of all thanks for the reply Itomuta,
We are making an application works with all the editions(2nd, 3rd and 5th) . For 3rd it is already signed, i have got a problem in 2nd edition signing(to remove warning).I'm impressed that you are still working with these 2nd edition devices
I have tried that digitally signing, and that works in the phone but hey is that remove the warnings? I have not checked with full of concentratoin..Try this and then install the file generated by makesis on your phone.
Right now i do not have phone to check, related person have gone, will check on Monday.
I just told you that signing the sis file is done differently in 2nd edition, with different tools. That does not remove the need for Symbian Signed certification if you want your application to be trusted and install without any warnings, but to get the app signed you have to use the right tools and procedures and now you are one step closer. Use your publisher ID certificate inside the PKG file then submit the file generated by makesis to Symbian Signed.
I hope that works, although I don't really remember the details of 2nd edition app signing.

Finally i have express signed my application, i was referring all the steps specified above but i was doing wrong is the key generation.I was generated key with the wrong tool(generated just like in 3rd edition)but uffff finally success in the signing.
Steps i applied while getting theh key for 2nd edition.(found these steps in one of the previous problem).
Signing for 2nd Edition:-----
1. Locate your .pfx file from TCT
2. Locate the tcp12p8.bat tool provided on http://developer.symbian.com/wiki/di...n+Signed+Tools
3. Edit the tcp12p8.bat file and remove/comment out the line if EXIST %keyFileTmp% del %keyFileTmp%
4. Run tcp12p8.bat on the .pfx file
5. This will produce a file <something>.key.ossl
6. Rename this .ossl file to a .key file and use this file to sign pre v9 files instead of the original .key file
7. In the result .ossl (or now named .key file), delete all the text that precedes the -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
8. Make a copy of your .cer file, and do the same here - delete all the text that precedes the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
I successfully ExpressSigned my application . Thanks all for the help

Senator Heidi Heitkamp is fulfilling her mission to better accommodate veterans by listening to their concerns. Senator Heitkamp spent the afternoon listening to issues affecting veterans during a roundtable discussion as a part of her statewide veterans listening tour.
As jobs continue to open up in North Dakota, veterans see the state as an ideal place to transition back into the workforce and put their skills they learned in the military to work. Senator Heitkamp is surveying the state to find out how it can accommodate veterans as they make the transition. One of the issues on the table is looking into community based clinics and finding out how they can be better serve veterans. Other concerns range from housing to education. Senator Heitkamp says the tour is a way to uphold a promise to veterans.
(Senator Heidi Heitkamp, ND (D))"I'm here to try, not just on healthcare, but here to listen to where we may be dropping the ball, where we need to improve what we're doing, how we can in fact honor our commitments because these are men and women who have fought for us."
At the end of the tour, Senator Heitkamp will report the findings to VA officials.

Three 2-0 Men's Pool Teams
Athens, Greece, August 16, 2004 - Teams from Argentina, Germany and Switzerland scored wins here Monday to improve their pool play records to 2-0 to move closer to the 16-team elimination rounds of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Beach Volleyball Competition.
Led by 2004 European Champions Markus Dieckmann and Jonas Reckermann, the three teams along with nine other tandems in Pools D, E and F end their preliminary matches Wednesday while men's Pools A, B and C conclude Thursday at the 10,000-seat Olympic Beach Volleyball Complex.
Dieckmann and Reckermann scored a 21-16 and 21-15 win over Bjorn Berg and Simon Dahl of Sweden to remain unbeaten in Pool D. The Germans end pool play Wednesday against Vegard Hoidalen and Jorre Kjemperud, who scored a 16-21, 21-19 and 15-10 win over Ramon Hernandez and Raul Papaleo Monday morning.
Switzerland's Patrick Heuscher and Stefan Kobel posted their second Pool E win by defeating Julien Prosser and Mark Williams of Australia 16-21, 22-20 and 15-9. Heuscher and Kobel end pool play against Dain Blanton and Jeff Nygaard of the United States while Prosser and Williams play Canada's John Child and Mark Heese, who defeated Blanton and Nygaard 21-16 and 21-10 Monday afternoon.
Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde took control of Pool F by defeating South Africa's Colin Pocock and Gershon Rorich 21-13 and 21-15. The 2-0 Argentineans play Greece's Thanassis Michalopoulos and Pavlos Beligratis at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Portugal's Joao Brenha and Luis Maia downed the Greeks 21-14 and 21-19 Monday evening and play Pocock and Rorich Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. The Portugese have placed fourth at the last two Beach Volleyball Olympics in Atlanta and Sydney as they dropped the 1996 bronze medal match to Child and Heese.
The Round of 16 elimination matches for the men will be played Friday and Saturday. Quarterfinals are set for Sunday with the semi-finals being played next Monday to decide the medal match line up for August 25.

New London, Conn. - November 9, 2012 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team swept Roger Williams in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Championship on Friday afternoon at Connecticut College. Springfield prevailed by the scores of 28-26, 25-22, 25-21.
Springfield, which is now 27-7, advances to the regional semifinal where it will take on Bowdoin on Saturday at 3:30 pm. The Pride and Polar Bears played once earlier this season, with Springfield prevailing in four sets at the MIT Invitational.
Tessa Smolinski led the Pride with a match-best 13 kills to go along with 14 digs, while Daniella Crismani chipped in 10 kills and 10 digs. Whitney Miller directed Springfield's attack with 34 assists to go along with nine digs, and Mary Consol produced six kills and four blocks. Clare Henry registered four of Springfield's 10 aces in the contest.
Roger Williams was paced by Kelsey Twarog, who notched 10 kills and 12 digs. Andrea Gorman added 10 kills at a .400 clip, and Kelsee Loche registered a team-best 13 digs. Nicole Weber finished the afternoon with 32 assists and nine digs as the Hawks hit .222 for the match.
Both teams had their top offensive showings in the first, with the Hawks hitting .366 and Springfield owning a .350 hitting percentage. Springfield used a Smolinski ace to take an early 9-4 lead, and extended the score to 16-11 following a Hawk service error. RWU responded with a 7-3 run to even things at 18, only to have Crismani answer with a big swing in the middle. The Hawks scored the next three points and owned a 21-19 lead following a Weber kill. Springfield battled back to even the set at 23 after another Smolinski kill, and would fight off three set points before consecutive kills from Crismani and Consol put the Pride up 27-26. An attack error on the ensuing play gave Springfield the first set, 28-26.
Springfield struggled to find its offensive rhythm to start the second and found itself training 8-4 early on. The Hawks didn't let up, and continued pour on the pressure, earning a 17-12 lead following another Pride attack error. Head coach Moira Long went to her bench and subbed in Melissa McLaughlin and Kelsey McGayhey, and the duo sparked a key turnaround. McGayhey connected for a pair of kills and added a block with Consol as the Pride's 5-0 run tied the set at 17. The teams would remain square at 21-all before a Smolinski kill and Lindsay Runge ace gave Springfield the lead for good. Miller closed out the set with a kill of her own as Springfield took the second, 25-22.
The third set featured 12 ties until the Pride finally used consecutive aces from Henry to open an 18-16 lead. The Hawks fought back with a 3-1 push to knot the game at 19 as Weber pounded her final kill of the night. However, Springfield would be not denied as closed out the set on a 6-2 run, with McGayhey and Smolinski hammering kills to cap off the three-game sweep.
