McLEAN, Va. (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama is set to campaign for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in his bid to become Virginia's next governor.
Michelle Obama is scheduled to attend a Thursday afternoon fundraiser at the Sheraton in Tysons Corner. Tickets for the event range from $100 to $750.
McAuliffe and Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli are party nominees in Virginia's bellwether governor's election in November.
The former Democratic National Committee chairman held nearly a 2 to 1 edge in campaign cash on hand at the end of May over Cuccinelli. Reports due Monday by statewide and legislative candidates showed McAuliffe with $5.4 million in the bank as of May 29 to Cuccinelli's $2.7 million.

Oh hello you!
I'd never heard of the Buddhist concept of the Hungry Ghost, but in the kind of Buddhism I practice, the idea of "Hunger" is something we all posses. It's a life state where you have bottomless craving that can never be satisfied. It's considered one of the ten life states, or "Ten Worlds" that each of us posses. We are always in one of these life states, but we can move from one to another in a single moment. The ten worlds are:
"Hell: A state of suffering and despair in which we perceive we have no freedom of action. It is characterized by the impulse to destroy ourselves and everything around us.
Hunger: The state of being controlled by insatiable desire for money, power, status etc. While desires are inherent in any of the Ten Worlds, in this state we are at the mercy of our cravings and cannot control them.
Animality: In this state, we are ruled by instinct with neither reason nor moral sense nor the ability to make long-range judgments. We operate by the law of the jungle and will not hesitate to take advantage of those weaker than ourselves and fawn on those who are stronger.
Anger: Here, awareness of ego emerges, but it is a selfish, greedy, distorted ego, determined to best others at all costs and seeing everything as a potential threat to itself. In this state we value only ourselves and tend to hold others in contempt.
Humanity (also called Tranquility): This is a flat, passive state of life, from which we can easily shift into the lower four worlds. While we may generally behave in a humane fashion in this state, we are highly vulnerable to strong external influences.
Heaven (or Rapture): This is a state of intense joy stemming, for example, from the fulfillment of some desire, a sense of physical well-being, or inner contentment. Though intense, the joy experienced in this state is short-lived and also vulnerable to external influences.
The six states from Hell to Heaven are called the six paths or six lower worlds. Any happiness or satisfaction to be gained in these states depends totally upon circumstances and is therefore transient and subject to change. In these six lower worlds, we base our entire happiness, indeed our whole identity, on externals.
The next two states, Learning and Realization, come about when we recognize that everything experienced in the six paths is impermanent, and we begin to seek some lasting truth. Unlike the six paths, which are passive reactions to the environment, these four higher states are achieved through deliberate effort.
Learning: In this state, we seek the truth through studying the teachings or experience of others.
Realization: In this state we seek the truth not through others' teachings but through our own direct perception of the world.
Having realized the impermanence of things, people in these states have won a measure of independence and are no longer prisoner to their own reactions as in the six paths. However, they often tend to be contemptuous of people in the six paths who have not yet reached this understanding. In addition, their search for truth is primarily self-oriented, so there is a great potential for egotism in these two states.
Bodhisattva: Bodhisattvas are those who aspire to achieve enlightenment and at the same time are equally determined to enable all other beings to do the same. Conscious of the bonds that link us to all others, in this state we realize that any happiness we alone enjoy is incomplete, and we devote ourselves to alleviating others' suffering. Those in this state find their greatest satisfaction in altruistic behavior.
Buddhahood: Buddhahood is a dynamic state that is difficult to describe. We can partially describe it as a state of perfect freedom, in which we are enlightened to the ultimate truth of life. It is characterized by infinite compassion and boundless wisdom. In this state, we can resolve harmoniously what appear from the standpoint of the nine worlds to be insoluble contradictions. A Buddhist sutra describes the attributes of the Buddha's life as a true self, perfect freedom from karmic bonds throughout eternity, a life purified of illusion, and absolute happiness."

The one-two punch of Blues' prospects formerly skating for Sibir Novosibirsk in the KHL has been broken up.
Center Jori Lehtera (65th overall, 2008) will miss the rest of this season after suffering a broken leg, as reported by the "Elite Prospects.com" website, and the website for KHL club SKA St. Petersburg confirms that 2010 first-rounder (16th overall) Vladimir Tarasenko has been dealt to SKA from Sibir. Sibir received undrafted 23-year-old forward Vyacheslav Solodukhin (6' 2, 190), who had been starring for the St. Petersburg entry in the Russian second league, in exchange.
In a separate trade, Sibir also acquired former Blues' draft pick Viktor Alexandrov (83rd overall, 2004) from Amur Khabarovsk. In 385 games with Russian Superleague and KHL clubs over the last ten seasons, Alexandrov has a 60-90-150 scoring line.

Bungie Teasing Destiny Reveal On Monday
Posted on Tuesday, February 12 @ 09:10:00 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Halo creator Bungie is gearing up for what is almost certainly a big reveal for their new franchise Destiny on Monday.
If you head over to their website, you'll notice an alternate-reality game embedded below a countdown from seven to one, and the word "MONDAY" written behind it. The ARG itself is quite simple, requiring users to split all the diamonds on the screen. Doing so will open a new page which says, "Coordinate. Combine. Clarify."
IGN also discovered another page, labeled "instructions," which reads:

From Engineering Computations: International Journal for Computer-Aided Engineering and Software: The Discrete Element Method: Numerical Modelling of Discontinua, Volume 21, Number 2/3/4, 2004
Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors are used to transport and elevate bulk materials over relatively short distances. There are several important issues, which need to be considered in designing such equipment. They are as follows.
How does one ensure an even draw down of material from the supply hopper (in the direction of the screw)?
How is the transport rate affected by the incline angle of the screw?
How do material properties (friction, elasticity, size and shape distribution) affect the flow?
How much degradation is caused to the material by the high forces imposed on particles in the gap between the screw and surrounding shell?
The first two issues are the focus of this particular example.
Here, we model an inclined screw conveyor with triangular slot feed hopper and an end discharge (McBride, 2002). The screw has a constant pitch, a diameter of 200 mm and is inclined at 45 and the particle sizes are uniformly distributed between 20 and 25 mm. Figure 4 shows the screw rotating at 2.5 Hz. The particles are shaded in vertical layers in the hopper to show their starting positions. The measured mass flow rate is 16 kg/s. Initially, the particles drop from the hopper into the empty space around the screw. They are then transported along by the screw. New particles are then drawn down from the hopper to replace those transported along by the screw. This draw down is observed to be heavily weighted towards the particles at the back of the hopper...

But once our series restarted, WVU has refused to return it to us. Lets do our best to get our Athletic Department to demand the return of the trophy. The following link shows the trophy and has more background information. Let's get the Braxton Trophy back so that next season we can have it along with the Keg of Nails and the Governor's Cup sitting in our recruiting room!

This livestream has now ended. It will resume for the verdict on September 11 at 9.30am
• Oscar Pistorius branded 'deceitful witness' in
murder trial
• The verdicts the trial judge can reach
• Legal View: Why I would find Pistorius guilty of murder
• 10 reasons why he is guilty – or innocent
• 10 key moments in the trial
• Oscar Pistorius: from Paralympian to accused killer
• Pistorius murder trial: in pictures
South African judge Thokozile Masipa said on Friday she would deliver her verdict in the murder trial of Paralympic and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius on September 11.
Her announcement came after the defence finished its closing argument of the case.
Defence lawyer Barry Roux argued that Oscar Pistorius' "primal instincts" kicked in when he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp because he was in a vulnerable and fearful state.
The prosecution gave it's version of events on Thursday.
Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said that Olympian Oscar Pistorius dropped "the
baton of truth" and produced a succession of lies to save himself from
a conviction for shooting to death his girlfriend.
Because South Africa has no trial by jury, Judge Thokozile Masipa will decide with the help of two legal assistants if Pistorius committed murder, is guilty of a negligent killing, or if he made a tragic error and should be acquitted.
The runner faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder, and also would be sent to prison for years if guilty of murder without premeditation or culpable homicide. He faces three separate firearm charges, and pleaded not guilty to all four counts.
Masipa adjourned the trial after the closing arguments to consider her judgment.
Nel and Roux summarized weeks of sometimes complex testimony into a convincing final explanation lasting just a few hours.
Watch our five key moments from the trial.

Why Belfort vs Johnson Johnson is up and coming welterweight contender give him ellenberger Give Belfort Tito Ortiz,ace Franklin, Griffin or Hardy this 4 fighters are not there to run at the title their just there for the show….
Johnson asked for the fight.. and he's already fought franklin, not in the same weight class as tito, forrest or hardy. plus he would easily knock all those guys out. he will probably do the same to johnson tho haha. he should fight Munoz or maybe Maia to see where those guys really stand in the division.
your an idiot, Johnson didnt ask for the fight, he was offered the fight and said he would take it cuz its a challenge for him to move up to 185. vitor will lose to Johnson……bitch
im a bitch because i know what I'm talking about? if you actually think johnson will win your a fuckin moron…. i thought i heard that when vitor was available for a fight johnson said he wanted the challenge… so he asked for it.
ps id really love to hear how you think johnson is going to beat vitor… he will stand with him and will get fuck up badly.
you don't know what you're talking about if you think johnson asked for this fight lol, proof enough for me.
on paper johnson has a lot less overall experience, but in the cage has shown a lot more well roundedness and a larger arsenal of finishing tools.
will he win for sure? who the **** knows, that's what they're fighting to find out. does he have a chance? absolutely.
vitor has fast hands and the rest is all a mystery at this point in his career as far as i'm concerned. and unless you train with him and get to see something different than the rest of us have since 2007, whatever you say beyond that is moot.
Venanciotan what welterweight career are you talking about? Johnson couldn't even beat koshcheck and he can't even make weight. Stop f*cking whinning moron! Vitor will win, period, so take up the *ss and shut the hell up. I can tell you know nothing about MMA because of your stupid *ss comments. Go jack-off or something kid.
Thats exactly the point why waiste Johnsons welterweight career If what they only want is to give Belfort a win to get him back as middleweight contender…….
I got Johnson. Age is the major factor in this fight. Johnson is young in his career and pretty well-rounded. Vitor has great hands but his speed has deminished with age. Vitor has been in the game a long time and I see his end nearing. It's not that he is old but his career has been long and tough. Vitor has had a great career but I dont see him winning this fight.
Nedkov is a fighter to watch. He is exciting and 12-0. Luis Cane was Nedkov's first test and he punched right on through.
I also believe Aldo will remain the champ and outwork Mendes. Mendes is an awesome opponent. Aldo/Mendes should be a great Main Event.
Id be lying if I said I saw Johnson vs. Belfort coming. I really didnt expect it but either way its an awesome match up. Youth vs. expierience, both guys have highlight reel knockouts in the UFC and both guys have good stand up. Should be a brawl to the finish.
Aldo vs. Mendes is an awesome match up too. I think Mendes gets finished in this one however. I dont think his chin has really been tested so far in his career. If Aldo catches him hes in a world of trouble.
Wow, people talking about other peoples posts calling them stupid, the calling them bitch or other derogatory name. That jus shows your own lack of intelligence. I, personally, am very excited about that fight. Two very aggressive strikers fighting that have good speed. Johnson has a wrestling background, and Belfort BJJ. This is, stylistically, a great match up. Young buck v old bull. Both can win this fight, who will impose their will? Great match up. The reason the UFC brass put this fight together is because they are in Rio. Stack the card with Brazillians then make the last two fights as exciting as possible. I will be watching this card on the edge of my seat.
Bottom line. If the Belfort vs. johnson fight stays on it's feet, then Belfort will not only win, but will probably knock him out.
I don't know why some people still have Vitor up on a pedastal. He's got lighting quick hands he fires over and over again, but if he doesn't get you in trouble to use them, he's seems to just be a regular fighter. I'm not knocking the guy, I'm just saying there's no justification to act like he's second only to A. Silva.
I think Johnson has an equal chance to win this fight. He's got reach and is by no means slow. He's got good kicks too.
I pick Johnson to win.
Another UFC 142 rumor I heard is that Stone Cold Steve Austin is going to be a guest referee for the main event. That's dangerous because at any time he could deliver a stone cold stunner and just end someones career. Mendes or Aldo absorbing the stunner would be brutal. That move is devastating!
The stunner is easy to avoid as long as you block the kick to the gut as soon as he gives you the double bird, but so many people stare at the fingers, and fail to block the gut kick…
Future 145 Champ Ronnie Gilbert !!!
UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes will be a great fight. Some good channel for this fight are: Justin.tv, ustream, Greenfeedz.com
You realize the UFC pays people to scour the internet and MMA sites to find our where the streams are so that they can shut them down right? Don't make it any easier for them.
Card sucks donkey balls>>>>
Thank you for your post, maddawgmar. Sometimes I think it was a mistake for MMAWeekly to allow the children who come here to bash out their pathetic little insults to each other over a fight that none of them have any idea about what it going to happen. Its a fight, and it should be a good one unless Johnson tries to lay and pray his way to a decision like he did to Hardy. But the rest of you thinking you are clever – guess what, you're not.
UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes will be a great fight. See you on Justin.tv, ustream, Greenfeedz.com after this fight

The Reviews are In!
When I was a kid I loved all the books by Jules Verne. In fact, I still do. One of the best of them is Around the World in 80 Days. I'm not sure, but I think the combination of that book with all the National Geographics I used to pore over at my grandmother's house led to the world traveler I am today.
I'm also guessing that based on the title of his book, photographer and writer Andy Davies was influenced by Mr. Verne as well. As some of you know, I'm engaged in a very slow journey around the world so when I first saw Andy's book, I thought to myself that it was just too fast, but upon checking it out, I have to admit it. I'm jealous as hell. Andy made a very cool trip and saw more in 18 days than many travelers see in a lifetime. To cover that much ground that quickly and with a purpose very cool.
Andy's trip took him through Hong Kong, Singapore, Cairo, Istanbul, Venice, Zurich, Bruges, London, and Paris. His photos astounding. You can check out some of them at Around the World Book. His book is more than the photos though.
I feel like in the short time he was in each place, he was able to take a glimpse into the souls of the people and the cultures. Maybe it's from being so acutely aware of the shots he wanted to take, watching so closely. I'm not sure, but it works. The book/app works too. I especially like the clean maps and the references to how much he spent on transportation, where he went, and how he got there. Here's one example of what I mean:
In Hong Kong I used my "business people" tracking skills to follow people who looked like they knew where they were going, in Singapore I found that most of the "suits" I followed were heading for the numerous British pubs located along the Singapore River.
Nice. The funny thing about travel is that we all do it our own way. There are some people who spend months and months in a place and never get to see anything and there are others that can get to the point very quickly. When I got to the back end of the book, I was pleased to find that Andy had included his itinerary notes, packing notes, and travel notes. Like reading Burton's Kama Sutra, sometimes the most interesting bits are to be found in the notes and it's amazing how many writers and photographers leave out these bits.
For example:
I traveled with a carry-on sized Victorinox convertible and expandable backpack/shoulder bag and a small shoulder bag with enough room to carry my cameras (two, compact) and spare lens as well as a laptop and charger.
It's when you get into the specifics that things become interesting. Andy's photos bring the life out on the page (or screen) and one of the cool things about using an iPad instead of a regular printed book is that when you buy Around the World in 18 Days you actually get two books since he used a completely different set of graphics and images for the horizontal and vertical versions of the book. Still, the price is the same at just $5.99.
As I mentioned, his photos are amazing and that's why when I reached the back I was stoked to find that Andy had included 12 Travel Photography Tips. I'm a pretty decent amateur photographer, but I always want to be better. Andy's tips gave me some tools to do that with. Simple things that I hadn't thought of. I would share them, but in fact, I think the Travel Photography Tips alone make Andy's book worth more than the price. If you notice that my camera skills are getting better, these tips are party responsible. You should buy his app/book.
In short, I highly recommend Andy's iPad App/eBook to anyone. The price is right, the content is incredible, and whether you are traveling or just dreaming of travel Around the World in 18 Days will inspire you.
iPad Your Way Around the World in 18 Days
Can a travel book read like a blog, look like a coffee table book, and offer interactive maps and video clips?
I'd have said no but that was before I spent the weekend reading Around the World in 18 Days by graphic designer and photographer Andy Davies.
Designed specifically for the iPad, this interactive travel book provides a fresh look at some of the world's most exotic and interesting locations Hong Kong, Singapore, Cairo, Istanbul, Venice, Zurich, Bruges, London and Paris.
By combining an energetic and lively writing style with amazing photographs, Davies manages to draw the reader into each city's labyrinth to such a degree that you literally feel that you are there. With the tap of the finger, you move from city to city, image to image, and with the inline video clips from the sounds of fish markets to prayer calls to the bells of Big Ben.
The experience is further enhanced with full screen HDR image galleries featuring key images optimized for viewing both horizontally and vertically. (sample slideshow here).
But that's not all.
Davies has added in maps, travel tips, and an comprehensive guide to taking better travel photographs, making this 100 page interactive travel book a must read for all dedicated armchair travelers.
AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 DAYS, by Andy Davies, is an insightful and enlightening travel book detailing the world's most coveted destinations. The book caters strongly to world travelers, backpackers, and all travel and photography enthusiasts.This must-have travel book offers an inside track on things to do and see in such places as Hong Kong, Singapore, Cairo, Istanbul, Venice, Zurich, Bruges, London, and Paris. Davies also provides a list of warnings, precautions, and specific things of which to be aware prior to visiting these locations.This is a fascinating book that reads like a blog.
Inspired by Andy Davies' travel site, www.spinfirst.com, AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 DAYS presents a first-hand account of Davies' experiences in many exotic locations around the world.Andy Davies infuses an energetic and lively writing style with exciting photos that work together to draw the reader into his space, literally feeling the vibrant atmosphere of each particular place. One such example of this engaging writing style is evident in the Hong Kong travel log: "I walked for miles, discovering Hong Kong's beautiful and serene zoological and horticultural gardens, an oasis of calm surrounded by soaring towers of humanity."For tourists, he describes specific examples, such as the Wan Chai Market, "A wonderfully vibrant, early morning marketplace full of people buying and selling wares, from live to fresh cut meat, to housewares, clothing, spices and more." In a few paragraphs, readers get a taste and feel for the unique flavor and atmosphere of the place.Davies emphasizes that planned tours to these countries do not compare with more spontaneous experiences. In fact, he stresses, "You have to stumble upon it, get lost in it, and discover new things and amazing places every time you set foot outside the door."
Davies is quite adept at making use of his time at each destination. During a 48-hour stay in Singapore, he came across a wide array of cuisines, including Pan-Asian, Indian, European, Malaysian, Cuban, American, British, Turkish, and Arabic.Whether you're looking to find the best means of transportation, nightlife, places to eat, or attractions to visit, this is the perfect travel book. Furthermore, AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 DAYS provides the special nuances of each destination that can only be uncovered through experience and persistence. Davies' efforts in uncovering each of these gems are evident throughout the book.
Davies' outstanding photographs speak volumes, capturing the spirit of each destination and leaving the reader to marvel over their magnificence. After reading this travel guide, it would not be the least bit surprising to find yourself booking a flight to one of these exotic destinations.
Overall, this is a book that all travel aficionados will find enlightening and informative. Not only does it provide tips for each destination, but it also offers advice on everything from how to best use a camera in creating lasting memories to doing research before setting off on any travel destination. Indeed, for all travel enthusiasts, AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 DAYS is a must read and a don't-leave-home-without-it treasure.

Or anyone else for that matter.
Fickle fight fans fantasizing for fisticuffs featuring ferocious middleweight champion Anderson Silva (28-4) and reigning welterweight strap-hanger Georges St. Pierre (21-2) were quick to abandon ship in favor of "The Spider" crawling back to the light heavyweight web to challenge new divisiuon champion Jon Jones (13-1).
Probably because he might be the only fighter capable of breaking "Bones" and his incredible reign of terror.
That's not a sign of disrespect to number one contender Rashad Evans or any of the other 205-pound hopefuls as much as it is a credit to Silva, who's not only cleaned out his own division, but successfully traveled north to lay the smack down on James Irvin and Forrest Griffin in separate apearances.
And the idea of a bigger and stronger Silva at light heavyweight is probably far more appealing to fans than the notion of an emaciated and depleted Brazilian trying to make 170 to appease the slow gains of St. Pierre, who is in no "Rush" to promote himself to middleweight.
Still, UFC President Dana White told fans at yesterday's UFC Fight Night 24 fan chat that anyone hoping to sling leather with Anderson is going to have to make 185-pounds to do it.
From the boss:
"Anderson Silva has made it very clear to me that he does not want to fight at 205 pounds… Originally, I was always talking about him trying to go for another belt at 205 pounds, and he stuck his big toe in [the water] a couple times [but] he's made it very clear he doesn't want to fight at 205."
Jones completed his ascension into the ranks of MMA superstardom by dispatching Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 last weekend in New Jersey.
The Brazilian butt-kicker had no answer for the unorthodox style of "Bones," who's run over everyone in his path since joining the promotion way back in August 2008.
Likewise, St. Pierre has seen little resistance since recovering from a Matt Serra upset at UFC 69 and a successful title defense against Jake Shields on April 30 in Toronto will leave him few uptions within the welterweight division.
Simply put, you have three dominant champions who are likely to rule their respective weight classes for the foreseeable future.
So why not find a way to have them fight one another?
Let's have it Maniacs, which fantasy bout intrigues you the most: "Silva vs. St. Pierre" or "Silva vs. Jones?" Or are you in the minority that believes they should stay put and continue building a legacy at their natural weight?
Sound off!

Physicists can control light waves with absolute virtuosity nowadays. They not only generate light pulses which last only femtoseconds, i.e. a time span in which light travels a distance roughly equivalent to the diameter of a chromosome. They can even form the femtosecond pulse as desired. A light wave oscillates so fast that even during the short period of a femtosecond pulse several wave crests and wave troughs occur. With complex laser technology based not least on the work of the Nobel Laureate Theodor W. Hänsch from the Max Planck Institute in Garching, laser physicists very precisely adjust where within the laser pulse the wave crests and troughs of the light waves occur. They thus shift the phase of the light wave within the pulse as desired, or in technical terms: they control the phase difference between wave and pulse.
The team working with physicist Peter Hommelhoff at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has bombarded a metallic tungsten tip measuring only a few nanometres (one millionth of a millimetre) with laser pulses of six femtoseconds duration. The researchers varied the phase difference between shots in this process. They thus controlled when the wave crests and troughs of a pulse impinged on the nanotip with a precision of around 80 attoseconds.
The physicists were very surprised by what they observed. The phase difference affects the emission process of electrons with certain energy values, i.e. very fast electrons. The number of fast electrons increased or decreased when the physicists shifted the arrival of the wave crests and troughs of the pulse in steps of 160 attoseconds.
"We can therefore use the phase difference to control the process whereby fast electrons are emitted, and which takes a mere 450 attoseconds," summarises Hommelhoff. This was an important step towards a field-effect transistor with which an electric current could be switched on and off within attoseconds. This would correspond to a frequency of several hundred terahertz, i.e. around 10,000 times faster than the field-effect transistors which process data in modern computer chips.A ping-pong effect accelerates the electron
Hommelhoff can, however, also envisage that the experiment will have more direct application possibilities. Since the fine metal tip amplifies the electric field of the light enormously, the laser pulse need not have a particularly high intensity. "A simple laser oscillator would do," says Hommelhoff. The setup was therefore relatively simple and thus provided a low-cost alternative for measuring the phase difference between pulse and wave in laser laboratories, which is currently done using interferometers which can cost up to 25,000 euros.
The extremely short red laser pulse – shown here as a red ball – releases electrons (blue waves) from the tungsten tip when the light wave impinges on the tip with the right phase difference. From a quantum physics point of view, electrons are matter waves that can superimpose like water waves. The researchers use this superposition to deduce which ultrafast processes are taking place when electrons are released from the metal. © Christian Hackenberger / MPI of Quantum Optics
What surprised the scientists in Garching almost more than the research result itself was the fact that they can explain it with a relatively simple theoretical model. According to this, the electric field of the laser pulse draws an electron out of the tungsten tip when it is at maximum and its polarity is pointing into the tip. The electron released is pulled away from the tip by the electric field and accelerated in the process. After a few hundred attoseconds the electric field of the light wave switches into the opposite direction, just like a water wave first increases and then decreases again. The reversed field hurls the electron back to the tip. The elementary particle recoils elastically from the tip like a table tennis ball from a bat. Meanwhile, the electric field of the light has reversed its polarity again and accelerated the electron further away from the tip. It collects so much energy in the process that it escapes from the vicinity of the pin.
At certain phase differences two electrons are released from the tip one after the other within the femtosecond pulse and both participate in the to-ing and fro-ing. From a quantum physics point of view these two electrons are matter waves. They can superimpose and amplify each other like normal waves, thus increasing the electric current measured at the detector. Quite amazingly, this also works with a single electron whose matter wave is emitted at two points in time. In this process, the wave packet of the electron virtually splits into two parts; these dissolve slowly and superimpose as they fly away from the tip. "We were able to qualitatively describe the experimental results very well with the help of this model," says Hommelhoff.The next step to a transistor with attosecond speed is being planned
The mechanism is familiar from similar experiments with gases of atoms and molecules. "We observed it on a solid body for the first time," says Hommelhoff. Two particular obstacles had to be overcome with the Garching experiment, says the physicist. The measurement of the energy of the released electrons, on the one hand, and how to keep the tungsten tip clean during the measurements, on the other. "The build-up of a single layer of foreign atoms on the tip would have crucially falsified the results," says Hommelhoff. The tip must therefore be kept in a sensitive ultra-high vacuum.
After the current breakthrough, some questions remain unanswered which the Garching team wants to clarify with further work. "We have no precise knowledge about the mechanism that releases the electrons from the tip," says Hommelhoff. It could be a so-called multi-photon effect where the energy of several light particles from the laser pulse is transferred to an electron so that it can escape from the metal. It is also possible that the electric field of the light can influence the electric potential of the metal in such a way that the electrons are released by the so-called quantum mechanical tunnel effect.
In order to get a step closer to the attosecond transistor, Hommelhoff and his team want to set up an experiment where the electrons are transferred from one metal tip to another, controlled by laser light. This would be an electric switch that was controlled by the phase of a light wave.

Anime Revolution 2013 ReviewJust like the Animethon review this review is pretty late too XD and just as with all of my other reviews I have to cut out so many details and special mentions otherwise this would go on forever. Too amny amazing things and good times happened XDAnime Revolution was at the end of August and it was the first con that FDP has been together at in a long time. It was amazing not just to spend time with and run panels with the group but also to hang out with so many of our friends from Vancouver. We also got to see many people from Vancouver and abroad again and we got to meet many people from all over who came to AR this year for the first time!!! I can't thank everyone who attended our events/panels and came up to us to say hi and ask for photos enough. Thank you all so much for your support it was an absolute pleasure and honour to meet everyone we met this year and to get to see familiar faces again.As with last year Anime Revolution was professionally run by staff who were bus
We're over 80,000!?!? Aki Con and UpdatesI had noticed that our subscriber count on the FDP Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/fightingdreamerspro?feature=guide) account was getting close to hitting 80,000 last week but I figured that we had until after N2U before that happened. Yesterday I logged into the FDP Youtube account and realized (after a while because I'm always the last horse to cross the finish line XD) that we had hit 80,000!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! According to a 2005 census the city of Yalta has a population of 79, 982... THEREFORE, if we were ever challenged to a square dance by the city of Yalta WE COULD PAIR UP SORTA EVENLY 8DBut seriously... I love you guys. You've given us so much support whether it's through comments, drawings/gifts, notes, favourites/likes/retweets/reblogs, coming up to us to say hello at cons and even going out of your way to ask your local cons to invite us as guests... if I think about it for too long it blows my mind. It's incredible to me that there are people out there who like
Banzaicon 2013 Re-CapFirst off, WOW. Thank you guys so much for the amazing support on my newly opened wig commissions. In less than 24 hours I had filled all of my slots. I am still accepting commissions though! There's just a bit of a lineup. And you never know some people may drop out so I will keep things going as swiftly as I can NOW! On to Banzaicon! This con re-cap is LONGGG OVERDUE! But April was just such a whirlwind month for us.Banzaicon was even more amazing than it was last year, which was hard to do because last year was PRETTY DAMN AMAZING. This con has one of the best staff that I have encountered at cons. Everyone really truly cares about the quality of the con and the enjoyment of all of the attendees. It blows me away each year when I see their committment and philosophy around Banzaicon. And let's not forget the attendees!!! EVERYONE IS SO WONDERFUL AND SO WELCOMING!!! You guys all make this con as awesome as it is thank you so much for having us! <3ThursdayWe boarded
Alcon 2012What an amazing con. It topped last year's Alcon (hence the chant buzzing around the con "Best Alcon Ever") and I was just so happy to be a part of that and meet so many amazing people that my Facebook literally exploded after the con ended. EXPLODED WITH MANLY RELISH THAT IS. I was going to wait until I had all the photos from the con before typing out this journal but meh, I've got time now and I've got energy SO LET'S CONQUER THIS SLIDE!!!Myself, VandorWolf and Valdrein got into London Saturday morning and after going through the obstacle course that is the International Visitors way through Gatwick airport we were greeted by a sleepy KellyJane who had woken up at 5am or something crazy like that to come get us at the airport (weloveyou). We spent the day with Parle in stinky plane clothes and with about 3 hours of sleep each which just made everything far more magical (except for the magic show we watched in Oxford Circus which was crap... I mean what kind of magici
Arcade Con 2013 ReviewWe arrived back from Arcade Con on Wednesday and things since then have been a little turbulent here at home :S However thankfully our trip to Ireland was nothing short of amazing which offsets all the crap we're dealing with right now XD Thank you to the Arcade Con staff and attendees for making this such an amazing con. We met so many wonderful people... I'm still flabbergasted at how well we were received at the con and how warm and loving the atmosphere at Arcade Con was! Absolutely incredible con experience :3The staff really amazed me at this con. They were attentive, helpful, kind, and always offering to get us drinks and just generally working hard to make everyone run smoothly. They worked tirelessly and it really showed in the calibre of the con.All the people we met were so kind and easy to talk to. We'd meet someone once and after that we'd see them around and we'd wave and chat if there was time and before I knew it I was thousands of miles from home but feeling like I w
Aang for a Cure: FDP Charity FundraiserHello everyone!I've been thinking for the last month or so about FDP's next charity event. It's been a while since Nova's Pray for Japan campaign (relief for tsunami victims) and I figured that it might be time for another project.I've been talking for years about shaving my head to cosplay Aang. He's my favourite character in The Last Airbender, and although I've cosplayed him before that was a while ago (aka I'm not satisfied with that costume XD). To kick my ass into gear to do this, I've decided to shave my head for cancer research. Shaving off hair for cancer fundraisers is a pretty common thing to do, but this time there's a twist
when you make a donation of any size to any cancer society (I've provided links to some major ones, but feel free to donate to any local organizations or organizations in your country that I may have missed!) reply to this message and include 1) Where you made a donation to 2) Who you want to shave Aang's head: Sokka, Zuko, Azula, Katara or Toph
Anime Revolution Review + Avatar VideoAnime Revolution ended a few days ago and I'm still riding that con high! In my opinion it was a stellar con with a really clean and professional atmosphere/vibe. It was the con's first year, but to me it ran (and looked) like a much more experienced con. I've heard a lots of criticism of the con, but not from the people I ran into at the con itself. Everyone I came across seemed to be in really good spirits and had a positive opinion of the con. I know that there are some tensions are Vancouver cons at the moment, but in my opinion the more the better! I'm not going to side with one con or another, to me that'd be silly, I want all the cons to succeed cause if my hometown was con central than I'd never be bored!!! WHICH IS AWESOME!I want to send a huge thank you to all of the people who attended our panels. They were all either full-capacity or over-capacity (like the Wig Panel, sorry to the people who had to sit in the aisle or stand in the back!). My only real issue with how the co
Alcon 2012 and EnglandIt's been a crazy two weeks here in Vancouver for us XD We were guests at two of our cons in Vancouver which were on back to back weekends! It was a lot of fun but it's been cosplay-o-rama and con-o-rama none-stop for 2 (going on 3) weeks. Alcon will be our third con, so we're prepping and resting up for it so that we can show everyone the best time possible and have an absolute blast ourselves! Last year was amazing, this year is sure to be 100% better with :iconvaldrein: coming along. I'm so excited to see Parle and our friends from Alcon and Banzaicon again! I've missed you guys!!!!!!!!! Plus I can't wait to meet new people at Alcon this year I'll watch the rain as I touch all your faces... and something about fire... I don't actually know the song I just use it out of context.We're running a number of panels at the con, including one we're doing for the first time (Makeup Panel). We'll also be premiering Episode 3 of Kingdom Bros which is, for lack of a better word, terrifying.
COSPLAY MAKEUP TUTORIAL!Hi guys!! Thank you as always to all watchers and everyone who faves and comments - I'm so sorry I don't have much time these days to reply to everything, but I definitely do read and appreciate them all! I've been asked so many times I've lost count to put together a makeup tutorial on how I do my cos makeup - and I finally did it!I hope this is a little helpful, although some disclaimers - I have Caucasian features, so my makeup will be very different to someone with a different face shape. I use a lot of eyemakeup, much more than a lot of people, just because I do lol. My eyes a pretty big naturally, so I line them right up the edge, as opposed to widening the eye by drawing further out. A few things like that to bear in mind ^_^ That said, hope you enjoy! *chu*Any questions please feel free to ask!

Internet Etiquette (Edited with critique advice)Some people brought up some pretty important points, so I've added some additional information about critiques below!Hey all!Something that's been bugging me a bit lately is how the DA community has sorta changed over the years (and not in a good way). People are more bold and will post whatever's on their mind, and while that can be a good thing in some scenarios, I feel that people oftentimes say things that they might not realize will hurt someone's feelings.I generally get a lot of positive feedback, and it really helps! It's always great to know that someone likes my work, and it keeps me motivated to keep going with this hobby. However, I'm still a human being, and negative criticism can hurt me just as much as anyone else. I'm not sure what it is, but the amount of really negative comments has increased these past couple years, and it really discourages me from even using this website anymore. Many times I've considered just disabling comments entirely, but I feel that would

Although the F31 touring has been available in international markets, the U.S. will finally see it in dealers soon, in the form of the 328i xDrive, like the one seen here on the 2013 NYIAS showfloor. Specs and pricing listed in the information placard photo below. The F31 U.S. online configurator recently came online at BMWUSA.com. The 328 xDrive touring starts at $41,450.
Likewise, the BMW 320i has also been available outside the U.S. (since the launch of the F30 3 series), but will also be … CONTINUED
This Estoril Blue F30 328i with M Performance parts and stripes is on display at the 2013 New York International Auto Show and represents the debut of a M Performance Parts equipped F30 at a North America auto show.
This F30 is equipped with the M Performance front splitters/lip, wheels (20″ Style 405M), brakes, sideskirts, trunk spoiler lip, rear bumper diffuser, and M Performance racing stripes. It rides on stock suspension (not M Sport suspension). It also did not feature any M Performance interior parts, nor … CONTINUED
Yesterday, we brought you news of the availability of the F30 335i M Performance Power Kit (PPK) [full details].
The PPK increases the 335i's horsepower from 300 to 320hp (official factory quoted figures) on all models. Automatic transmission models will experience a +32 lb-ft peak torque increase (to 332 lb-ft), while manual transmission-equipped models benefit from a +17 lb-ft peak torque increase (to 317 lb-ft). 0-60mph acceleration is improved 0.2 seconds compared to standard 335i models, while 50-75mph times drop by a full half-second.
Well, these figures … CONTINUED

Developed through consultation by the engineers at BMW M GmbH, the M Performance Power Kit is immediately available through all Authorized BMW Centers in the US, with MSRP starting at $1,100 (plus Installation) and retains BMW's 4-Year / 50,000-mile … CONTINUED

BMW has announced some of the important models set for debut at the 2013 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), which has its press days beginning on March 27.
With this comes the official announcement that a diesel powered BMW 328d will join the 3 Series lineup in the U.S. [already confirmed for Canada]. A prototype was spotted last September in the US.
The 328d will be powered by a TwinPower Turbo 4 cylinder engine, outputting 180 hp / 280 lb-ft of torque and accelerate from 0 … CONTINUED
Testing and development of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36) continues, with the prototypes undergoing cold weather testing in Sweden.
As always, don't worry about the headlights and tail lights of the prototypes at this stage of testing. They are merely fakes for testing purposes. Expect the 4GC to share the lights with the rest of the upcoming 4 Series lineup.
Codenamed as the F36, the 4 Series Gran Coupe will be positioned and priced in the 3/4 Series lineup just as the 6 Series Gran … CONTINUED

Polamalu looks healthy, judging by his outstanding performance in Week 16, and will wreak havoc today against an inexperienced Browns offense.
Reasons why the Steelers will beat the Browns today, set to the lyrics of the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism video.
Pittsburgh hosts AFC North rival Cleveland in the last game of the 2012 season for both teams.
Another few steps are taken toward the end of an outstanding era in Pittsburgh, and regardless of a draft pick, Steelers fans should be rooting for a win.
With many players on both sides playing for pride and future employment, the Browns will start a little-known third-year quarterback against a Steelers team wanting to avoid its first losing season...
After seeing partial action for Arizona in week 16, a recent Pittsburgh release prepares to make his first career start.
A slew of close games didn't go the Steelers way in 2012, but they have one more chance to show they're capable of making big plays in close games.
Tough salary cap decisions need to be made, and three defenders of prominence in Pittsburgh may be victims of that process this coming off season. Pittsburgh's Week 17 game against Cleveland isn't...
Dreams of glory have faded, as have words to describe the disappointment; but the Steelers have right to hold hope for one final point of light amidst the dark reality of their 2012 season.
Pittsburgh was eliminated from postseason contention with its loss to the Bengals, who clinched the sixth seed in the AFC playoffs.

Lambda: The Local Aligner for Massive Biological Data
Lambda is a BLAST compatible local aligner optimized for NGS and metagenomics that adapts a new approach inspired by the read mapper Masai. In contrast to other tools, Lambda builds an index over both, the seeds (of the queries) and the database. The indexing structure built on the query sequences is a Radix tree and the indexing structure built over the subject sequences is a suffix array that is conceptionally used as a suffix trie. Lambda uses the Radix trie to search in the suffix array and, in doing so, efficiently searches for multiple queries in parallel.
Although Lambda was designed mainly for the purpose of replacing BlastX, it supports all other versions of the BLAST suite, as well (BlastP, BlastN, TBlastN, TBlastX).
Depending on the BLAST mode the sequences in the query strings are translated and then converted using an alphabet reduction. Lambda supports several alphabet reductions, the default is the commonly used Murphy10.
Further, Lambda offers three modes (fast, default and sensitive) in each of which it beats the competitors in speed or sensitivity or both.
Finally Lambda is multi-threaded to offer the advantage to run in parallel on modern multi-core architectures, it reads fasta and fastq files and outputs standard blast format.
Lambda Source Code (v0.1) - First public release. [7.4MiB]
Lambda Source Code (v0.2) - This is the version submitted to ECCB. [9.0MiB]
Build instructions
Please make sure, that the build requirements are met:
- CMake
- C++11 support in the compiler
- OpenMP support is highly recommend
- Best use GCC4.8 or later
Then execute the following commands to extract the source and build the two binaries in seqan-lambda-build/release/bin
% tar xf seqan-lambda-v0.2.tar.gz % mkdir -p seqan-lambda-build/release % cd seqan-lambda-build/release % cmake ../../seqan-lambda-v0.2 \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-std=c++11 -Wno-vla" % make -j2 lambda lambda_indexer
Please be aware that due to excessive use of templating and compile-time optimizations the build might take well over 10min.
These examples assume that you have the files query.fasta and db.fasta, with the query and the subject sequences respectively.
If you have sufficient memory, please set the following environment variable prior to execution:
% export TMPDIR=/dev/shm
Storing query.fasta and db.fasta in TMPDIR and/or changing the working directory to it will speed up the program even further.
Default profile
Optionally mask the database:
% /path/to/segmasker -infmt fasta -in db.fasta -outfmt interval -out db.seg
Run the indexer:
% bin/lambda_indexer -i db.fasta [-s db.seg]
Run lambda:
% bin/lambda -q query.fasta -d db.fasta
Sensitive profile
The more sensitive profile described in the publication is available by appending
-so 5
to the the lambda call of the default instructions.
Fast profile
The fast profile introduced in the publication requires the following calls:
Optionally mask the database:
% /path/to/segmasker -infmt fasta -in db.fasta -outfmt interval -out db.seg
Run the indexer:
% bin/lambda_indexer -i db.fasta [-s db.seg] -a 0
Run lambda:
% bin/lambda -q query.fasta -d db.fasta -a 0 -sl 8 -ss 26 -sd 0 -so 4
For questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to contact Hannes Hauswedell or Knut Reinert.

How to Open a Latin Food Restaurant
Opening a Latin food restaurant is not an easy task. It takes plenty of hard work and planning, but if you do everything the right way, then the outcome can be very rewarding. You need to acquire a few things before you can start your restaurant, but it's always a good idea to have some things in mind. The first thing you should be looking for is a location. Next, you need to set up a menu and decide on your decorum. You need to purchase equipment and furniture. There are many business loans available to help you with your start up costs. Finally, you need to staff your restaurant.
Get an idea of the ideal location for your restaurant. Ideally, this will be in a high traffic area, with great visibility. If you have a built in clientele, who will come to your restaurant regardless of how far off the beaten path you are, then this is less of a concern. For any upstart restaurant, location is key. If you are somewhere that has a large amount of businesses in the area, then you are going to have heavy lunch traffic. If you are in an area with a large amount of residences, expect more of a dinner crowd. The farther you are from other Latin food restaurants, the more unique you are to that location.
Next, you need to get an idea for what your menu will be. This helps you get an idea for what type of equipment you will need. This is also what is going to set you apart from other restaurants in the area. After you have a location picked, start thinking of how many people it will take to staff your restaurant, and how much their work is worth. Once you have these things in mind, you can start to build a budget.
When you come up with the number that you need, it's time to see a loan officer. The loan officer can discuss the options, tell you about a number of different loans to consider, and help you decide which of them is right for you. Make sure to keep track of all of your expenses and income so that if you need to file at the tax extension deadline you will have all the necessary paperwork to back up your tax claims. Taxation should never be overlooked if you run your own business because there are different ways to write off taxes, including employee health benefits, kitchen appliances or almost any type of expense that you incur during the tax year. After you have your finances secure, you can begin building your restaurant, buying your equipment, setting up your staff, and start making food in the restaurant you have always dreamed of owning.

All right. So let's start with what we know this week.
That's it. We're done here, right? Everyone else has spit the bit in varying degrees, and man do I hate the idea of a rematch, but I don't know if I see a choice right now. Someone needs to step up and in a hurry.
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma State
4. Arkansas
5. Stanford
6. Boise State
7. Houston
8. Oregon
9. Oklahoma
10. Virginia Tech
11. Wisconsin
12. South Carolina
13. Georgia
14. Michigan State
15. Clemson
16. Michigan
17. Kansas State
18. Baylor
20. Arkansas State
21. Virginia
22. Notre Dame
23. Penn State
24. Georgia Tech
That looks awful. Notes below the jump.
- Please LSU, Don't Hurt 'Em: LSU. Ho hum.
- Team Didn't Suck This Week: Alabama. I hate this.
- Team Whoops: Oklahoma State. I still hate this.
- Team Chaos Master: Arkansas. I'm really hoping Arkansas pulls off the upset against LSU, not because I want them to win, but at this point that's the only domino left holding off the dam against utter chaos.
- Team Sixes and Sevens: Stanford, Boise State, Houston, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia Tech. That's the waiting room at this point, although there's some recent carnage across the board here. Houston's effectively locked out, and shockingly Virginia Tech might be the most likely of this entire lot to make a move. That doesn't mean they won't get rolled if they do, but once again, when the ACC schedule is over, there they are.
- Team Shrug and Point: Wisconsin, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan State, Clemson, Michigan, Kansas State, Baylor. Admittedly, I'm completely in the tank for Baylor, but they have the best skins of this lot, at least at the top. Wisconsin has to be kicking themselves for not properly defending Hail Marys. The rest of this is a hot mess.
- Team Out of Ideas: TCU, Arkansas State, Virginia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Georgia Tech, BYU. Man, that falls apart late, doesn't it?

One is the current chief justice of the state's high court, the other is a current state representative and both of them are on November's ballot to represent Central Mississippi as a supreme court justice.
For William "Bill" Waller, Jr., it's more than just keeping his seat on the court.
"If I'm re-elected, I'm continuing as chief justice and not a justice," said Waller.
Through court initiatives like electronic filing, the drug court system and interpreter certification, Waller says his 15 years of experience on the bench; combined with his 20 years as a lawyer makes him the more qualified candidate.
"The public, I think, has a good option in allowing me to continue to serve as chief justice," said Waller.
For representative Earle Banks, also an attorney, claiming a seat on the State Supreme Court is about more than just winning an election. Having helped push drug court legislation, he says Mississippians need a legislative perspective.
"I will be fair in hearing your case before this court. I will be fair, I will give it the proper attention. I will work and I will give it the proper decision," said Banks.
With only a month before the election, Banks is criticizing Waller for accepting Political Action Committee, or PAC money for his campaign, which is legal.
"I want Mississippi to have the best justice that they can have, not the best justice that is being influenced," said Banks.
Banks admits he has accepted PAC money during his time as a representative, but says it has no place in a judicial race.
"I have a problem when it comes to PACs and justice. I'm about people and justice. I'm about individuals and justice," said Banks.
Waller says it's the nature of campaigns which must be paid for but he isn't sure how much PAC money is being brought in.
"I've told my staff I've not restricted those contributions but I have no personal knowledge," said Waller.
While campaigns can become political, the position on the court is a non-partisan race. Even so, both candidates have been endorsed by the state's political parities. Waller by the GOP and Banks by the Democratic Party. Both say that's what happens when you're in the vote getting business.
In the Southern District, incumbent justice Mike Randolph also faces a challenger as well. Even if the incumbents win, there will be at lease one new face on the court from the Northern District to replace retiring justice George Carlson.
All terms are for eight years.
