Flitting heartbeat, sparrow high,
twisting round the mountain's eye,
tracing breath of shattered skies
and filling velvet palms.
Falling sparrow, cry of stone,
wings of mist and powder bone
sipping, slipping from thy throne
within their crimson throng.
Treading now, beneath the clouds
As what was once so heaven bound
now falling, falling, to the ground
And singing silent songs.
Fly no more, above the arcs
singing side thy fellow Larks
curl beneath their shadows dark
and sing your silent songs.
Your flitting heartbeat, Sparrow high,
now sings of silent songs.

We are just past the midway point of the NFL offseason, and with the major team-building events (the draft, free agency) already come and gone, the Patriots still have questions to deal with between now and the start of the 2012 regular season. With the understanding that these are issues most teams would kill for, here are 10 things for the Patriots to address between now and opening day against Tennessee:
How many wide receivers can one team carry? The Patriots loaded up with defensive linemen before the start of the 2011 season, sifted through who could play and who couldn't, and left those who couldn't by the side of the road. It made for a rocky start to the season as the group learned how to play together, but it all came together in the end. New England is doing the same thing at the wide receiver spot this offseason, picking up some familiar faces (Donte Stallworth, Jabar Gaffney) and some intriguing old faces (Brandon Lloyd, Anthony Gonzalez) to go along with a returning cast of characters (Wes Welker, Deion Branch and Chad Ochocinco). Look for at least one veteran to be let go before the start of the season.
What to do with Ochocinco? The wide receiver is doing so he has a more team-friendly contract, and according to a source, has been a regular participant in offseason workouts at Gillette Stadium. But will it be enough? The veteran will have to have a very good offseason and camp if he wants to be part of a deep receiving corps.
What does the future hold for Brian Waters? Nothing official has been announced regarding the veteran right guard, and he wasn't among the group spotted at OTA's on Tuesday. (That's not to say he wasn't there -- we'll get a better idea when we are allowed to watch practice on Thursday.) There are some short-term options (Robert Gallery has some positional versatility, and Ryan Wendell and Dan Connolly have proven worthy backups), but even if Waters does come back for 2012, the Patriots need to start grooming a long-term replacement at the right guard spot.
Who is going to take over as the lead back now that BenJarvus Green-Ellis is gone? Green-Ellis was a perfect fit for the New England system: cost-efficient, never fumbled, always hit four yards a carry and was fairly durable. In his place, the Patriots will look to a combination of backs, but it will be second-year running back Stevan Ridley who will get every opportunity to lead the way. That's not to say that the others won't get their touches -- and you shouldn't pencil in Ridley for 250-plus carries -- but he'll be the closest thing to a lead back that the Patriots have to start the season.
How do you replace Mark Anderson and (possibly) Andre Carter? While there's the possibility that Carter will return, New England will look to a variety of defensive players to pick up the pressure, including Rob Ninkovich and newcomer Trevor Scott, who could become one of the most important pickups of the season. Then, there's Jonathan Fanene, who should be able to give the Patriots something they've lacked since Mike Wright was healthy -- an interior pass rushing presence. In addition, rookies Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower will also be asked to provide depth.
Where will Devin McCourty play? McCourty told the Boston Herald that he's working at both corner and safety in preparation for the 2012 season, and so there's the very real likelihood we'll see him do what he did at the end of the 2011 season -- bouncing between safety and corner. But he will be part of a secondary that suddenly has plenty of versatile bodies, including Sterling Moore, Steve Gregory and Tavon Wilson, all of whom can play either corner or safety. (Some of McCourty's playing time will be decided on the development of both Gregory and corner Ras-I Dowling. If either one struggles with the system, look for McCourty to see a bump in playing time at that spot.)
Which one of the rookies will have the greatest impact? Based on his overall knowledge of the system (he ran with Nick Saban in a similar defense at Alabama), his already impressive resume and his positional versatility, the best bet is Hightower. That's not to say that one day, Chandler Jones won't have a greater impact. It's just that right now, Hightower appears to be the most pro-ready of the draft picks. With Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, Rob Ninkovich and Dane Fletcher (among others) on the roster, it should present Belichick with an interesting set of options at linebacker.
Will there be any long-term injury problems with Rob Gronkowski and Carter? Not likely. Gronkowski's mobility does bear watching, but the high-ankle sprain he suffered in the playoffs last season should be a thing of the past at this stage. Ditto for Carter, who suffered a season-ending calf injury in December that left him sidelined for the postseason. The biggest concern is whether or not Carter can replicate a dynamite 2011 season. Both sides would like for Carter to return in 2012, but it looks like that decision is still a ways away.
Can Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez build on their phenomenal 2011 season? No reason to think they won't -- especially because they're two of them -- but it's fascinating to see the overall evolution of defenses as they struggle to try and find an answer to some of the great young tight ends in the league like Gronkowski, Hernandez, Jimmy Graham, Jermichael Finley, Owen Daniels and Jermaine Gresham. More teams are looking for those bigger, faster safeties in hopes of creating a "big nickel" package and slowing down the tight ends. We'll see if it works.
Will the changes on the coaching staff affect the roster? While most of the moves the Patriots made were in-house (like giving Matt Patricia the official title of defensive coordinator, or moving Pepper Johnson from defensive line to linebackers), there are a handful of changes that could have an impact on continuity. That means the players and coaches have to take full advantage of the spring workouts -- the minicamps and the rest of the offseason activities -- to try and build a foundation of familiarity before training camp opens in July.

Book by C.J. Sansom
You have to give first-time author, BR Stateham, full marks for creativity and imagination. Geoffery Armitage Ffolkes is a very interesting character, indeed. Imagine if you will a tall, cocky, swaggering, outrageously dandefied 17th century privateer with a love of the puerile; an erstwhile physician well versed in the healing arts of the day; a competent businessman assiduously building his wealth; and an astute observer of the human condition who uses logic to solve puzzles ranging from minor daily life conundrums to murder mysteries with implications at international government levels. Geoffery Armitage Ffolkes is a most curious blend of the ruthless swordsmanship and devil-may-care derring do of Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood; the brilliant deductive logic and healing arts of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes AND Dr Watson together in a single persona, if you please; the self-centred arrogance and puffed-up dandiness of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot; plus the political acumen of CJ Sansom's Matthew Shardlake.
You might well think that this is just a little too much, but despite "Ffolkes' Medicine" being Stateham's debut novel, his title character is exceptionally well-developed, eminently likeable, exceedingly humorous and a creation that I would very much like to see more of. As one might expect of such a character, Ffolkes comes equipped with the mandatory amanuensis. The cheeky and very Irish Tobias O'Rourke is not the fumbling, less than brilliant characters we have become used to in Sherlock's Watson or in Hercule's Captain Hastings. He is rather a fully developed, strong character in his own right who participates much more as a crime-solving partner with deductions and insights that rival and complement Ffolkes' own brand of sleuthing.
Young Rodney York is on his death bed. He has been poisoned with the ground up powder from peach pits liberally sprinkled into a piping hot freshly baked pie. But Ffolkes has reason to believe that Rodney's poisoning was a mistake, that a mischievous Rodney got into the pie before the intended victim who might have been his mother, the beautiful Jane York; her fiancé, Charles Louis Eugène du Chardonnay; Jane's father, Admiral Christopher Myngs; or possibly even Myngs' adopted son and Jane's step-brother, Henry York. Jealousy, love, money, espionage - so many motives and so many reasons for people to wish any one of these four dead. And it is left to Ffolkes and O'Rourke to find the would-be killer and his intended victim as well as nurse Rodney York back to health.
"Ffolkes' Medicine" also does a yeoman's job in developing the atmosphere and the setting of 17th century Port Royal, Jamaica, during the height of English privateering against the Spanish Armada., laden with the incomprehensible wealth ransacked from the Aztec and Mayan treasure troves.
It seems obvious that it was BR Stateham's intent to play with the big boys in the mystery genre and emulate the likes of Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. For success in a field crowded with superstars like that, you're going to have to be much, much better in the plot department. The clues and the deductions were there, to be sure, but the deus ex machina solution didn't seem to be obvious based on the plot development and the clues that were fed to the reader throughout the novel. Even the mandatory drawing room explanation with the sleuth and all of the parties gathered round didn't entirely convincingly clarify matters for me.
But, quite frankly, that didn't ruin the novel's enjoyment for me. Two stars for the plot, a very hearty four stars for the characters and we'll round it out at three stars overall. I'll also add the hope that there's more to come. Perhaps Stateham's plot creation with improve in subsequent novels.

- Episode Description
Ken is employed by the owners of a nursing home to investigate a series of petty thefts of patients' money. Because of pressure of work, he passes the case to Harry who goes to stay at the nursing home, posing as a businessman suffering from stress and a nervous breakdown. Laura also helps, posing as Harry's gushing and utterly spoilt daughter! After eliminating the cleaner and the gardener, Harry soon suspects Mary Foster, an eccentric old lady who is a long-term patient. He marks a wad of 5 notes and leaves them in his bedside drawer. They soon disappear and Harry finds them in Mary's handbag. He presents his findings to the Matron, telling her that he has traced the thief. Much to his surprise, the Matron herself confesses to the thefts. She has been taking the money to give to Mary, in order to perpetuate a white lie - Mary thinks that her son, living in New Zealand, is paying for little treats on her birthday, whereas in fact the son died two years ago and the Matron hasn't the heart to tell Mary. Harry agrees not to shop the Matron, as long as the thefts stop, and even offers to pays for Mary's birthday treats himself. Helen is approached by her old friend Chris, a social worker, and asked to look after Judy Shelley and her two unruly sons, Lee and Simon. They need somewhere to stay in hiding until Judy can get an injunction against her Canadian husband Peter. Peter is a doctor and a respected member of the community, but Judy is alleging that he beats her up. Helen gets Rocky to keep an eye on the boys, but they play various pranks on him, culminating in him being stranded on the roof after Lee pretends to be stuck. While on the roof, Rocky sees a man watching Woodcote Park through binoculars. He suspects (correctly) that the man is working for Peter, trying to trace Judy's whereabouts. Although sworn to secrecy, Helen takes Ken into her confidence. He investigates the man, who has now checked into Woodcote as a guest called Patterson. To begin with he thinks that Patterson may be Shelley. Shelley contacts Ken and tells him his side of the story - that Judy is mentally ill and lives in a fantasy world. But Shelley and Patterson are plotting to "recover" (kidnap) the boys. They bundle Lee and Simon into Peter's car and make off down the drive, hotly pursued by Ken and Rocky. Helen blocks the gate with her car, forcing Judy and Peter to confront each other. Peter again tells his story about mental illness. Judy vehemently denies it and lifts her blouse to show that her body is bruised and that she has four broken ribs. Peter turns violent and has to be restrained. When he realises that he has lost both his children and his professional reputation, he drives away furiously, knocking Harry over as he arrives back from the nursing home. Harry's leg is injured and he finds himself back in a hospital bed.moreless

I've read 2 articles recently that touch on the impact of technology on everyday life and the political and societal implications this entails.
The first one is from Ludovic Dubost, my boss at XWiki (FR):
Nevertheless, I think that today we have still not seen the changes that technological innovation will have on society. The impact on the old economy is accelerating. New business models continue to emerge not only in the technology world but especially in the non-technological world. Innovations continue to arrive and things you never thought possible just 10 years ago are emerging today. [...]
These books say the same thing about technology. The possibilities offered by technology arrive sooner than we think and the changes to society and the economy are likely to be faster than society's ability to absorb sudden changes.
Ludovic makes the point that technological change will have and ever-increasing impact on society over the long term. No part of the economy is immune to change: technology will touch more and more parts of the economy, oftentimes with a negative effect for existing industries that are getting disrupted.
The second article is from Ben Thompson of Stratechery:
The ease of communication and distribution on the Internet is rendering vast swathes of the economy uncompetitive, even as certain sectors, companies, and individuals reap absolutely massive profits. I am by no means saying this is a bad thing, but I am certainly sympathetic to those who can no longer compete. I am also extremely concerned that recourse for these changes will increasingly be sought through the political process without tech having a seat at the table, much less a coherent solution for dealing with the human fallout of technological progress.
We as an industry absolutely need to wake up. SOPA, net neutrality, the Google bus protests – all of these are of a piece, and they are only the beginning. [...] The world is changing because we are changing it, just like we all wanted to, and now it's time to grow up and deal with the consequences in a serious way. I truly hope that the fight for net neutrality will only be the beginning.
Ben takes the viewpoint of the tech industry: the industry will have to organize itself if it is to try and have influence over society's reaction provoked by the changes that society brings to our lives.
Ludovic also quotes Eric Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee:
"Kurzweil's point is that constant doubling, reflecting exponential growth, is deceptive because it is initially unremarkable. Exponential increases initially look a lot like standard linear ones, but they're not. As time goes by—as we move into the second half of the chessboard—exponential growth confounds our intuition and expectations. It accelerates far past linear growth, yielding Everest-sized piles of rice and computers that can accomplish previously impossible tasks."
Paul Graham has similar thoughts in "Farming Black Swans":
In startups, the big winners are big to a degree that violates our expectations about variation. I don't know whether these expectations are innate or learned, but whatever the cause, we are just not prepared for the 1000x variation in outcomes that one finds in startup investing.
That yields all sorts of strange consequences. For example, in purely financial terms, there is probably at most one company in each YC batch that will have a significant effect on our returns, and the rest are just a cost of doing business. I haven't really assimilated that fact, partly because it's so counterintuitive.
This is related to the 2 previous points: most people are not really prepared to grasp the full meaning of "winner takes all" situations and the impact is has on society at large. Redistributive policies could be a way to balance out the need to motivate innovators while trying not to leave people on the side of the road.
A more common case is that you can get 80% of the feature for 20% of the effort. Which in turn means that you can get five 80% features, improvements, or fixes for the price of one 100% implementation. When you look at it like that, it's often clear that you'd rather get more done, even if it isn't as polished.
As our conversation drifted from an update of my company to a deep discussion about life itself, I asked him what he thought was the secret to success. I expected the standard "never give up" or some other T-shirt slogan, but what he said took me by surprise. "The secret to success in business and in life is to never, ever, ever tell a lie," he said.
Other than the standard things (an idea, passion and the willingness to act), the most important thing that aspiring entrepreneurs need is the understanding that 80% of entrepreneurship is sales and marketing. If as a founder, you're not obsessed with sales and marketing, you're a liability rather than an asset.From: http://buytaert.net/entrepreneurship-is-80-percent-sales-and-marketing

And now Zuck and his team are looking up and saying "what's next?". It's not that different from what Larry Page and his team are doing at Google. The Charlie Rose interview with Larry that I made Video Of The Week last weekend was a bit of a review of all the things Google is doing to figure out what's next (balloons, driverless cars, Nest, DeepMind, etc).
INGRES was a major learning experience for me, because I was a product manager and totally focused on creating the absolute best product in the world. You know what we found? It didn't matter. Oracle kicked our asses because they focused on positioning, marketing and selling as opposed to building the best product.
There's some interesting information further down in the piece:
Oracle had its problems scaling, like any company does. But what they did really well was define a set of clear measurable corporate objectives, and push those all the way down on a quarterly basis…measuring quarterly, and making sure that everyone understood their role in participating towards whatever that year's and quarter's target was. That's what really enables an organization to run at 100 miles an hour without having any kind of low-level task management.
Clear sales objectives. Focus. Getting people to internalize company objectives:
David Marquet [...] says you can't empower people by decree. While you might be able to ask someone to make a decision for themselves, that's not true empowerment (or true leadership). Why? Because you're still making the decision to ask them to make the decision. That means they can't move, or think, or act without you. The way to empower people is by creating an environment where they naturally start making decisions for themselves. [...] Leaving space, creating trust, and having the full faith that someone else will rise to the challenge themselves.

American Airlines to Pay $5 Million in Cartel Case
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- AMR Corp.'s American Airlines agreed to give evidence against other carriers and pay $5 million to a group of freight shippers to settle a New York class-action lawsuit over its role in a global price-fixing cartel.
Under the deal, American will provide witnesses, documents and electronic data to help shippers in similar cases in Canada, Australia, South Korea and other countries, the group's lawyer, Michael Hausfeld of Hausfeld & Co. LLP, said in a statement in London today. The agreement, filed July 26 in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, is the first by an airline to help prosecute the cartel claims outside the U.S., he said.
"It is an important step forward for shippers in Europe and around the world and demonstrates that companies can act responsibly to resolve competition disputes without resorting to excessive or protracted litigation," Hausfeld, who is co-lead counsel in the case, said in the statement.
The industry's freight services have been probed by the U.S. and the European Union since 2006, leading to settlements, fines and plea deals by airlines and executives. Earlier this month, Air France-KLM Group agreed to pay $87 million to hundreds of freight shippers to settle a similar class-action lawsuit in the U.S.
American, based in Fort Worth, Texas, didn't admit fault or liability and was only added as a defendant in the case in order to seek court approval of the proposed deal, spokesman Tim Wagner said today in an e-mail.
"American Airlines has done nothing wrong," Wagner said. "Litigation is an expensive and uncertain proposition and avoiding the cost and inconvenience of trial made paying the settlement the best financial decision for American."
Settlement talks with American started after the EU in 2007 gave the carrier a so-called statement of objections related to the cartel, Hausfeld said in court papers.
Hausfeld later concluded that "while AA did face some risk of liability, it would be difficult for plaintiffs to obtain a judgment against it, given the evidence," according to the court filing.
The case is In re Air Cargo Shipping Services Antitrust Litigation, 1:06-md-01775, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn).

Description The present invention relates to a structure for making microwave circuits and components. The increasing development in the use of electromagnetic waves in fields as diverse as telecommunications, medical applications, radar, . . . , leads to implementation techniques being varied firstly to control wave propagation and secondly to control wave radiation. In both cases, the means implemented are defined not only by the general radio characteristics required: frequency bands; power requirements; admissible losses; interconnection coplexity; and mission in the broad sense of the term; but also by a set of other criteria that are not specifically concerned with radio, including parameters such as mass, circuit volume, or acceptable temperature range over which the technology used must be capable of operating. These additional criteria also come under the heading "mission in the broad sense of the term". The particular technology chosen must satisfy both radio criteria and criteria that are mechanical, structural, and thermal. It will readily be understood that environmental and installation conditions differ for microwave equipment depending on whether it is installed on board a satellite, an aircraft, or a submarine, for example, and that this has an impact on the way the technology required for making the equipment is defined and selected. There is no doubt that the best known means for conveying an electromagnetic wave is a hollow tube. It may be simple in shape being rectangular or circular in section or it may be more complicated, e.g. being hexagonal in section. The applicable range of frequencies is very wide, running from a few gigahertz to several hundred gigahertz, i.e. from centimetric waves to submillimetric waves. Below a few megahertz, waveguides are difficult to use because of their size and mass. Other types of propagation are then used. A non-exhaustive list includes the following: coaxial lines and derivatives thereof; three-plate lines, and microstrip lines and derivatives thereof. These various means are in widespread use for propagating signals from DC to a few tens of gigahertz. Put simply, it may be said that radio properties (impedance, propagation constant, etc. . . . ) result from the positioning of two conductors relative to each other by means of a support material or a dielectric spacer. In practice, the materials commonly used have dielectric constants lying in the range 1 to 10, and they may be as much as 40 in some applications. So far as radiation is concerned, radiating elements have appeared over the last ten years which are remarkable both as to their simplicity of manufacture and as to their characteristics of lightness and ability to be shaped. These elements are printed antennas ("patches") based on using a resonant element etched on a dielectric support, with the assembly being implanted on a ground plane. Here again, these concepts make it possible to propose solutions which are very competitive in terms of volume, compactness, and mass. These two centers of interest (making circuits, and making the radiating elements) have led manufacturers to offer an ever increasing range of dielectric materials having wider and wider fields of application. The constraints for utilization in the space environment are well known and generally bear on: equipment mass; temperature ranges and thermal stresses; vibration levels; and physical stability in a vacuum (no degassing). The object of the invention is to provide substrates of variable permittivity. To this end, the invention provides a structure for making microwave circuits and components, in which mechanical and electrical functions are integrated overall, but are dissociated locally; with a mechanical structure constituting an enclosure in which a volume of dielectric is disposed. A layer of dielectric material is disposed on either side of the assembly comprising the mechanical structure and the volume of dielectric, with one of the layers supporting a conductive element disposed above the volume of dielectric and with the other supporting a metal ground plane, a layer of glue being disposed between the mechanical structure and each of the two dielectric layers. The advantage of the invention lies in its versatility and in its considerable weight saving compared with more conventional solutions. The ease with which it can provide dielectrics of arbitrary constants and its low mass make this solution very attractive for use in space. An embodiment of the invention is described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 show prior art embodiments; and FIGS. 4 and 5 are a section view and a partially cutaway plan view of a structure of the invention for microwave circuits and components. In order to make a structure (either a circuit structure or a propagation structure) as shown in FIG. 1, the main design problem is to keep a conductor element 10 at an accurate distance from one ground plane 11 or from two ground planes, as the case may be. The medium 12 as delimited in this way by the conductive element 10, the, or each, ground plane 11, and a characteristic distance d chosen during design as a function of its influence on the interaction phenomena between the electromagnetic field and the substance contained in the medium, must have electrical characteristics of dielectric constant (εr) and of loss factor (tan δ) as selected by the designer. Also, the performance of the device as a whole must be compatible with its utilization. For example, in a space application, the main performance requirements are: lightness; stiffness; resistance to high temperatures (typically 130� C.); low degassing; and dimensional stability (low coefficient of temperature expansion, low coefficient of expansion by desorption of moisture, high heat conductivity). Several solutions from the radio point of view are in common use. Thus, for a propagation circuit, considerable stiffness can be imparted to the ground planes 17 in the manner shown in FIG. 2, and it is thus possible to hold the conductor 15 and the dielectric material 16 in place between them. The central conductor 15 is then disposed between two layers 16 of dielectric material and two structures 17 constituting the ground plane and which are situated on either side of the assembly. Each of these structures is formed, for example, by a sandwich comprising an outside carbon skin 18, an aluminum honeycomb 19, and an inside carbon skin 20, with the inside carbon skin 20 having a metal coating 21. The dielectric material 16 may be made from a honeycomb, an organic foam, or dielectric spacers, for example. The dielectric material 16 is selected for its radio performance, thereby giving a wide range of choice. A high performance solution can thus be obtained from the radio point of view. However, the combination of mechanical parts (stiffening of the ground planes, and holding of the central conductor and of the dielectric medium) gives rise to poor mechanical performance. This type of solution is therefore well suited to devices that are small in size (typically having an area of less than 0.5 m2) and/or for devices where the ground planes are used to provide additional mechanical functions (e.g. holding helical or horn type radiating elements). When high mechanical performance is required (for large antennas, for example), radically different solutions are generally used. These consist in totally integrating the mechanical and electrical functions. As shown in FIG. 3, this is achieved by making the dielectric material 22 participate in obtaining the mechanical stiffness of the assembly, in particular by gluing. There is then a central metal conductor 25 disposed between two dielectric layers 22, and two metal planes 23 constituting ground planes, with layers of glue 24 being situated between each of the contacting planes. It is then advantageous to use materials having high specific stiffness (e.g. composite materials) as far away as possible from the neutral axis of the sandwich (top and bottom surfaces of the panel), and to glue between these faces a material having good shear properties and low density (e.g. a honeycomb structure). This technique is well adapted to making large sized devices where it is desirable to obtain very low mass per unit area (antennas, spreaders, typically 5 kg/m2). The constraints to be taken into account when choosing the dielectric material are very severe, since the material must satisfy radio requirements, mechanical requirements, and environmental requirements. A good compromise can usually be reached, but electrical performance is not always satisfactory (too high a loss factor due to the presence of films of glue) and mechanical performance may be degraded (for example if it is desired to use a dielectric having a constant greater than 2 and a thickness greater than 1 millimeter). The invention provides a mechanically stiff structure in which the electrical and mechanical functions are integrated overall, but are dissociated locally. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the structure of the invention comprises a mechanical structure 26 forming a hollow enclosure 33 in which a slab 27 of dielectric may be disposed. A layer of dielectric material 28 (29) is disposed on either side of a mechanically stiff assembly formed in this way, with the first layer 28 supporting the conductive element 30 which is disposed over the slab 27 of dielectric, while the other layer 29 supports the metal ground plane 31. A layer of glue 32 is disposed between the mechanical structure and each of the two dielectric layers. Thus, in a structure of the invention, the medium in the vicinity of the conductive element is constituted by a dielectric selected principally for its electrical characteristics (εr, tan δ) which dielectric does not participate in providing the mechanical stiffness of the assembly. Beyond this region, a mechanical structure serves to contain the above dielectric and to provide the overall mechanical performance of the device. The selection criteria for the materials constituting this structure are mainly mechanical (E/o, where E=Young's modulus, and o=density), and the mechanical structure may be very effective. The advantages of the invention are as follows: high and adjustable radio performance (εr): any dielectric can be used, providing it is lightweight and can withstand the environment, in addition, a film of glue is not used; and high mechanical performance: the structure is made of mechanically sound material which may even include conductive material (e.g. a graphite-reinforced composite) if that is acceptable from the radio point of view. In a first embodiment, it is desired to provide a printed antenna having a thickness h of 3 mm, for example, and having the following performance characteristics: εr =2.5; tan δ=as low as possible; and E/o (specific stiffness) as high as possible. Using prior art techniques, where mechanical and electrical functions are fully integrated, the best available materials are glass-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) matrices. Although matrices of epoxy or polyimide are capable of providing better mechanical properties, their values of εr and tan δ are not so good. The following table demonstrates this: ______________________________________Material εr tan δ � 10-4 E/o � 105 (SI)______________________________________Glass/PTFE 2.5 9 6Quartz/polyimide 3.6 40 100Kevlar/epoxy 3.9 130 193______________________________________ giving the following performance: radiofrequency (RF) performance tan δ=9,10-4 mechanical performance y=6.99 kg/m2 (raw mass per unit area: no connector, thermal control, . . . ) f=13 Hz (first resonant frequency for a square plane having a side of 0.5 m meters (11) with its edges being simply supported). Whereas in a device of the invention, the dielectric is selected for its radio properties only. For example, using an alumina felt, it is possible to obtain o=750 kg/m3, εr =2.5, tan δ=2.10-4 (assuming linear variation of εr and of tan δ as a function of density). The material constituting the structure is chosen mainly for its mechanical characteristics. The performance obtained in this example are: radiofrequency tan δ=2.10-4 mechanical performance (using a Kevlar/epoxy structure having a thickness of 2 mm): f=19.8 Hz y=2.83 kg/m2 Using a device of the invention, the improvement may be factor of 4 on RF losses and a factor of about 2.5 on mass. In a second embodiment a printed antenna may be made on a dielectric having a constant as close as possible to 1, with a patch to ground plane distance of 6 mm, with the desired performance being the same as in the first embodiment, with εr ≈1. With prior art devices where mechanical and electrical functions are integrated, the most suitable architectures are obtained by gluing a highly aerated organic material (foam, honeycomb) between substrates supporting the radiating elements and the ground plane via films of glue or layers of composite materials. The following performance is obtained: RF performance: εr ≈1.04 tan δ≈6.10-4 mechanical performance: y≈0.928 kg/m2 f≈107 Hz In contrast, using the device of the invention, with the volume beneath the radiating element remaining empty, the following performance is obtained: RF performance: εr ≈1 tan δ≈0 mechanical performance (using a carbon fiber structure): y≈1.126 kg/m2 f≈107 Hz (resonant frequency unchanged). For an increase in mass of about 20%, a radiating element is obtained having losses that are practically zero. The component of the radiating element of the invention may be made using numerous materials, thus: the mechanical structure 26 may be made of composite materials based, for example, on: Kevlar; carbon; glass; or any other reinforcement. The dielectric used may be: ceramic (εr >1); (aerated ceramic, or ceramic fiber, or ceramic felt) an organic or composite material (εr >1) the volume may be filled with: gas: air; or vacuum. Naturally, the present invention has been described and shown only by way of preferred example and its component parts could be replaced by equivalent parts without thereby going beyond the scope of the invention.

New Zealands young sprint cyclists had to settle for an
agonising silver medal in the mens team sprint final at the UCI
Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk, Belarus today.
The Kiwis were pipped by 49/100ths of a second by the might of
Germany, who won their third rainbow jersey in four years in the
mens team sprint.
New Zealand stunned their more illustrious and powerful sprint
cycling nations when they topped the qualifying with a sea-level
best of 43.580 to put them in the gold medal ride against Germany
who clocked 43.731. This was significantly ahead of powerhouse
teams of France, Australia, Russia and China.
"It was a great ride but at the same time I knew we had to go
faster in the final and I knew Germany would bring all their
experience and talent to bear," said BikeNZ sprint coach Justin
Grace. "Two of their three riders were in the Olympics team and
they have not been off the podium in this event at the world
championships for a long time."
Auckland's Ethan Mitchell, who celebrated his 22nd birthday two
days ago, produced a strong 17.361 start, just 4/100ths behind the
Germans. Close friend, 21 year old Sam Webster, in blinding form,
stormed around in 12.784 to put the kiwis up by 15/100ths of a
second before handing over to Invercargill's Eddie Dawkins.
The big Southlander clocked an excellent 13.399 to again lower
their best sea-level time to 43.544s but a stunning lap by
Maximillian Levy gave the edge to the Germans by the narrowest of
"Half way around that final Lap I thought we would hold it but
Maximillian is not a world champion for nothing," said Grace.
"It's mixed emotions. The boys are gutted they could not win the
rainbow jersey but at the same time they did another best ride and
have a silver medal.
"We are still so young. Simon is the oldest in our squad of five
riders at just 24, with Matt Archibald not here. We used to come to
the world championships for experience and now we come to
"We set this programme up originally for Rio but they have advanced
so quickly and continue to better our projections. We now have the
respect of the world cycling powers from countries with 80 to 100
million people and massive budgets.
"That's a credit to the BikeNZ programme, the support of High
performance Sport New Zealand and also the talent, dedication and
hard work of this group of young riders."
Earlier France edged out Australia to claim the bronze medal.
New Zealand's team sprint were fifth in the 2010 world
championships in 44.450, sixth in 2011 in 45.032, third last year
(after two disqualifications to other teams) in 43.742 and now they

Welcome to (the New) The Kitchn!
Welcome to The Kitchn! Do things look a little different? We gave The Kitchn a fresher, brighter look for 2012, and we've improved the organization of the site. Here's a look at what's new:
• Six major channels that will help you find the content you most enjoy:
Recipes, Advice, Supplies, Kitchens, Drinks, & Gatherings. • Complete index of all our categories for easier browsing. You can see all of our categories here. • A better organized recipe index. • Cambria Bold, the editor of Re-Nest, has moved over to bring us more structured product reviews, as well as tours of farms, artisans, and producers of good food. We're so glad to add her editorial experience to the team!
These are just the first steps, and we're still working behind the scenes cleaning up, organizing, and making the reading experience even better. We have big plans editorially for 2012 — look for even more recipes, tutorials, tours, and kitchen design advice coming soon at The Kitchn.
One thing that isn't changing, however, is you, our readers. You are an essential part of what makes The Kitchn beloved by so many cooks, and we are grateful for your daily contributions to this community. We rely on you, and we hope that you enjoy The Kitchn's new look as much as we do.

either a civilian production gun or a parts gun. looks like it has been refinished at some point.

Commercial 1911. Is that nickle or is all the bluing gone?

Well, it looks like it, whatever it is, has a Colt slide! Looks kinda like my 1991A1, but the thumb safety and some of the other parts are different. How did you come by it?
People get the government they deserve.
Yey it is Nickel. Had to be a redo.
Paid to much for it on gunbroker. Thought the slide could be of value. Should be Srl 1-20,000 then they moved the pony and the patent dates were changed about 84,000.
unfortunately the nickel plating ruined what value it had. now its just a beater/shooter. when someone refinishes a un it ruins any collector value. the exception being for military arsenal reworks. those guns still hold value if it was done by an actual us government arsenal and reissued for military service. in the arena of civilian firearms in regards to 1911s refinishing completely destroys collector value. condition is everything
