The Bottom Line Its an honor to finally weigh in with the rest of my colleges and share my top 10 Bond Spy Movies.
Yes, it is true I've always wanted to be a secret agent like James Bond for her Majesty's Secret Service. Ever time there is a 'Spy Weekend' or 'Mega-James' Bond Saturday cable special, I get a little excited about my personal VHS and DVD collection of some of the worlds greatest spy movies. Bond fans that are lucky enough to own the, James Bond 007 Special Edition DVD Collection, Volume 1 (2002), Volume 2 (2000), and Volume 3 are always revered in the fictional spy world of MI6. If you've seen any of the James Bond films, then you'll understand how easy it is for any one of the Bond movies to make the coveted 10 Best Spy Movie list. No need to be politically correct, James Bond drinks, fools around with women, fights, brawls and eventually kills the bad guys. The films are full of stereotypes and caricatures that could possibly offend, but they are designed to entertain. The goal of the Bond series was not intended to offend audiences, but made to entertain adrenaline junkies looking for a little on screen action. Each movie reflects what was going on in the world during the era it was film in. Bond gives viewers a hefty dose of immorality, iniquity and of course the four letter word, 'love'. It's been said that his fictional lifestyle would make Hugh Hefner jealous, James Bond is the man! My 10 Best Spy Movies are not for the kiddies, based upon the material and rampant sexual innuendos and escapades with ratings ranging from PG, PG-13 to Rated R. Also parents should be advised that some of the scantly clad women of 007's world have whimsical and sexually suggestive names that are not appropriate if blurted out by little Johnny on the playground. Bottom line this spy series is for adults. James Bond's super charged spy movies offer international espionage, high-speed chases, karate skirmishes, and unbelievable non-stop action. The only thing that does not come with these spy movies is an official license to kill. My coveted 10 Best Spy Movies, are a must see for any true Bond fan. 1. Although I was not born when Goldfinger (1964) was released, this was the first film that introduced me to the world of Bond. Sean Connery played James Bond with his famous secretary Miss Moneypenny played by Lois Maxwell. Goldfinger features the world-renowned P ussy Galore played by Honor Blackman. Bond is investigating a gold mogul who is planning on blowing up the gold reserve at Fort Knox. This film was my introduction to spy gadgetry and adventure. I like the fight scenes especially the one between Bond and henchmen Oddjob, it was awesome. Goldfinger's pre-credit scene offers an excellent taste of the explosive action you'll enjoy in the film. Director Guy Hamilton does an admirable job with the movies plot and pacing making it an excellent starter film for those unfamiliar with MI6. 2. From Russia with Love (1964) is another action packed spy flick that keeps audiences spellbound throughout the movie, with spectacular gimmicky gadgets and secretive devices that are truly amazing. The action starts with Bond immediately meeting up with Donald 'Red' Grant or a Bond look alike, getting strangled with a retractable corded wristwatch. Although some of the scenes in the movie are a bitted dated by today's standards, overall its one of the best Bond flicks created. Sean Connery plays James Bond with the film being directed by Terence Young. There is great chemistry between Connery and leading lady Tatiana Romanov played by the lovely actress Daniela Bianchi. If you are looking for a hearty cup of action then you've found the perfect spy blend. Major Boothroyd better known as Q delivers and unforgettable performance explaining his spyware especially the black leather case. 3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) stars the little known actor George Lazenby as Bond. This film offers and shows some of the best exotic locations that you can actually visit on film. The ski chase in Switzerland is fantastic. This action packed spy thriller provides an excellent introduction for the adventurous Tracy Di Vincenzo (Diana Rigg). Lazenby brings the same flair actor Sean Connery brought, as Bond delivering a convincible adventurous role as the world greatest spy. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is considered the most touching spy films made as it shows the vulnerable side of OO7 who actually falls in love. This 142-minute movie offers good action and although the plot meanders, and spy gadgetry is held to a minimum, the film makes up for this with great character development. What ever you do dont over look this one, it's the first and last time youll see Lazenby play OO7. 4. Ian Fleming's Live and Let Die (1973) is directed by Guy Hamilton staring actor Roger Moore as the charming secret agent, James Bond. I enjoyed this spy flick immensely since it mixed the U.S. urban drug market of the early 70s with international Caribbean espionage. Roger Moore's diverse supporting cast is excellent providing a lot of work for actors that possibly could have gone unnoticed in Hollywood. The stunts in this film where excellent mixed with 70's style dialogue that's been tossed in the stereotypical trashcan. Live and Let Die, represents a snap shot moment in time only now being replicated in Hollywood with the remake of movies in this genre attempting to capture the momentum of this era. 5. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) features Roger Moore as James Bond in Hong Kong. This time it is actress Maud Adams who delivers an excellent role as the used and abused girlfriend of villain Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). Although this film lacks the spy wizardry of some of the previous Bond's it still delivers a lot of action and a hearty serving of Judo chops. Oddly enough it is the villain Scaramanga with all the secret weapons and gadgets, primarily it is his golden gun that gets a lot of action in this film. The ending of the film is good especially the fight scene between Bond and three-foot, nine-inch Nick Nack, (Herve Villechaize). If you've never seen the man with 3 nipples then you've got to watch this one. 6. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) is recognized as one of the most memorable in the Bond series staring Roger Moore as the tuxedoed secret Agent OO7. Who can forget the worlds most intense villain, Jaws (Richard Keil)? Who would have thought that a factitious character would start a fashion trend? Its been rumored that Jaws steel-plated teeth launched the current movement of removable gold teeth, diamond-studded caps, and other platinum-tinted teeth currently worn by various hip-hop artist and entertainers. Seriously, The Spy Who Love Me, puts Bond in another, 'You Only Live Twice (1967)' motif where Bond is pitted against the sea and submarines instead of outer space. Bond noted battles with the indestructible Jaws are legendary as villain extraordinaire Stromberg plans to rule the world from the bottom of the sea. Only this time Bond is lucky enough to be teamed up with the lovely Russian agent, 'Anya 'Triple-X' Amasova' (Barbara Bach). What I like about this Bond is that the character and actors were so unbelievable. 7. John Glen directs Octopussy (1983) with actor Roger Moore playing James Bond. Maud Adams returns to the Bond series only this time she plays the role of Octopussy. Put James on and island populated only by women avenging the death of a fellow Agent 009, and you've got one cool movie that goes down as smoothly his vodka martini's he drank in Dr. No, 1962. Reviewers are still applauding Roger Moore's role as Bond as a sophisticated man of taste. Octopussy not only satisfies Bond fans, but the quirky plot works for the spy movie enthusiast. 8. Who could forget, Goldeneye (1995), which has now sold over 3 million dollars in DVD sales alone. Nothing surpasses getting all the extras included in the DVD like the documentaries and movie trailers. Golden Eye is based on the premise of the Russians actually having a high tech satellite weapon that can stop all electronic equipment in the world from functioning. Only this time it is Pierce Brosnan turn to plays Bond and save the world. We are also introduced to Polish born Izabella Scorupco who plays a computer programmer and who can forget the alluring Holland native Famke Janssen. This will always be a stand out spy movie since this is Brosnan takes the helm as Bond. The dialogue and chemistry between Q and Bond, is memorable which aids in making Q a lovable and enjoyable character. The bungee cord jump during the pre-credit scene is memorable plus Shirley Bassey them song was really cool. 9. The World Is Not Enough (1999) is one of the more popular Bond flicks loaded with combat and exploit. The movie opens like many of the Bond film with an action packed pre-credit entrance. This particular plot is fairly simple and has the trademark feel of the previous OO7 movies. Only this time the battle is brought to the doorsteps of MI6 with an explosion at their headquarters. Bond gets personally involved as a bodyguard to the slain British oil tycoons daughter Elecktra King (Sophie Marceau). Not only did I enjoy the opening sequence, but Denise Richards delivered a great performance in her role as the lovely Christmas Jones. Christmas is an intelligent Bond girl with credentials. The stunts are good and it was nice to see a woman play M (Judi Dench), Bond's boss. 10. Die Another Day (2002) does not only land on my top 10 list, but it's a number one Bond flick for several reasons. First, and foremost it has Halle Berry in it, I'm not afraid to admit I'm a Halle fan and think she is an extremely talented actress. Second, since I'm on a role, and I'm coming out of the closet I also think Madonna is fantastic. In our 20th century Bond, actor Pierce Brosnan stays at the helm, serving up a nice slice of adventure. In 'Die Another Day' we find Bond held captive by the North Koreans before a pre-empted strike can take place. In this film Bond is sent to assassinate renegade military leader Colonel Moon. The high-tech spy gadgets are back, with John Cleese playing 'Q'. Die Another Day is not only a top-notch spy flick but it offers some of the most incredible action scenes and ensemble of actors and actresses ever put together in a Bond movie. Although, Living Daylights did not make this top ten list, that does not mean its not a good spy flick, so check it out. This complete my 10 Best Spy Movies, which brings to mind that final looming question, "Which actor played James Bond the best?" |

Amcu leader says wage deal imminent
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - The leader of Amcu union Joseph Mathunjwa said on Friday a wage deal with the world's top three platinum producers was imminent, in a sign the country's longest mining strike in history may soon be over.
Mathunjwa told SAfm he would meet with leaders of Lonmin, Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum on Friday or over the weekend to relay to the companies the response of thousands of striking miners to their latest wage increase offer.
He said the deal had not yet been finalised because the timing of the pay increases still needed to be agreed but there was "light at the end of the tunnel". - Reuters

Lila Mullins of San Rafael, never dreamed she'd have an extra $30,000 to spend as she pleases.
The 32-year-old bartender and College of Marin theater student was recently picked as the early bird winner in the San Francisco Dream House Raffle. The raffle, which has a grand prize of a San Francisco house worth $4 million, aims to raise funds for the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and its effort to support Bay Area visual, performance and film arts.
At first, Mullins ignored multiple phone calls from an 800-number she didn't recognize. She finally answered the call the next morning when it woke her up. When she heard she'd won a prize in the raffle, she immediately began to rejoice.
"I fell out of bed, started jumping up and down in my bedroom," Mullins said. "I asked her what I won, because I didn't even know."
Mullins had her choice of a VW Passat, a Toyota Prius, an Audi A4 or $30,000 in cash. She decided to take the cash prize.
"I am going to be paying off some bills and doing some traveling over the summer and investing the rest. I'm being very smart with it," Mullins said.
She plans to travel with friends to Italy and Ireland. In addition, she might use some of the funds to further her directing and playwriting studies when she transfers to the University of California at Berkeley next year.
"That is the dream goal — anything having to do with technical theater," Mullins said.
Right off the bat, Mullins will have to part with 25 percent of her winnings, or $7,500, which will be sent to the Internal Revenue Service. Charles Ward, raffle director of development, said any remaining taxes will be subject to Mullins' individual tax liability.
But Mullins is just happy to have a boost in her checking account and a good story to tell her friends.
"This might end up making a good play in itself, you never know," she said.

Ap Yi in ranked (tips and guide)
2 Attachment(s)
Most people consider that Master Yi is a champion that should not be played in high elo, ad Yi melt during team fight, tank Yi got no dmg, and Ap Yi lack of burst and is only good when the enemy team has no cc.
I dont no about the ad Yi and tanky Yi, but there is one thing im sure about, Ap Yi could definitely be played in high elo. Even though im still a player in elo hell, but i have already played 900+ranked games ( played ranked since 30, fall into 800 elo at the begin and carried myself out from that terrible place ) and I played almost every ap champions, watch a lot streams and I do understand the advantage and disadvantage of most ap champions. Those days I started to play Ap Yi in ranked, and amazingly i found out that Ap Yi is much much better than most people though. After a long time practise, I realize Ap Yi is a pretty good Ap champion, he has some advantage that other ap champions dont have. The advantage and disadvantage of Ap Yi: Advantages: 1.Ap Yi is an amazing farmer, he can get more than 200cs in 20 mins if he focus in farming. No other apc can farm as well as him, he is the number 1 farmer 2.No one can kill Yi during lane time because he has amazing substain. 3.Ap Yi deals great aoe damage during team fight. 4.Hard to be ganked when he hit lvl 6 5.He is good at chasing low hp enemy Disadvantages: 1.Has no stun,which made jungler (on Yi side) doesnt want to gank mid 2.His Q is not reliable, it wont hit enemy every time 3.Ap Yi is only for organized and experienced players Unlike wuht most people believe, dmg is not a problem for Ap Yi, and he is also good when enemy has a lot cc, here is some tips i gonna to show u how to be a good Ap Yi : 1.(when game start) at the begin of the game u buy boot and 3 pots, u can also buy boot pot and ward since u have w, but i prefer buying 3 pots. Ap Master Yi wont help jungler leash because u might take his cs when u do that, what u gonna do is going to steal enemy wrath, or take ur own wrath if ur jungler gonna gank or invade after blue. Always check the bush behind red buff, make sure enemy dont see u, give up immediately if some one is guarding there. U use ur q to steal wrath, use ur pots when u get low, dont worry about hp, u are impossible to kill when u get lvl4. Always learn q first, w seond, e when enemy cant do much damage on u so u dont need to use ur w and e will make easy for u to get cs and take wrath. 2.(how to lane) u must be carefull dont be killed at early lvl, but i dont think u need to worry about that if u are an experienced player, most ap champion dont have burst at first 3 lvl, u auto attack to get cs and q when there is few minions and enemy is close to them, w when u are low. Pay attention whether the enemy has stun or not, dont worry if the lane is pushed, u got flash, use it when enemy jungler gank u, take ur own wrath and b if u lane is still pushed. Usually u are lvl 4 or 5 at this time. The first item u need is Kage's Lucky pick, Ap Yi depend on gold and u need the Deathfire late game, at same time u can also buy a Doran ring and use all the left gold to buy wards.(ward>doran when u have no gold) Ward river when u are back to lane and ward enemy wrath. Now wuht u need do is keep pushing ur lane and keep steal enemy wrath and take ur own wrath or wolves when ur jungler is ganking other lanes, ur Q might not kill every minions, but 1 or 2 cs is not important. When u are low use ur w under u tower. And here is the funny part when u hit enemymid few times they will be low and dont want to get close to his minions. When this happens stop pushing, start auto attack to get cs, q only when he come to his minion to get cs. U gonna out farm the enemy when u do this. 3.(when to gank) well, usually Ap Yi wont gank, becasue u have no cc..u can only kill them when they are low enough and if they dont buy wards and dont call mia ( however this do happen sometimes) when enemy mid is ganking u need to call mia but dont follow if u are sure they not gonna to dive, remember u are winning ur lane, enemy wont have a lot farms because ur Q, that mean his damage wont be a much big deal. ( if he build dmg only, u can easy bring him low during lane time, and if he b he lost cs) Wuht u need to do is pushing mid hard and get that turret, u are master Yi man, even u are building ap u still have some nice ad dmg. 4.(Early team fight) okay here come the team fight, usually it starts near dragon. Because u are farming greatly, u must already got large rod and lvl 2 boot already, at this time u need have at least 30 more cs than enemy mid. U dont go in first, but if u feel confident that u wont get stunned u can Q enemy tank who stand in front of their team to make some aoe dmg when team fight just start and run away immediately when q is over(use flash if u have to). Now u need to wait, because u already deal some aoe, enemy team wont be full. At that time most chapion wont able to survive 3 Qs from a well farmed Ap Yi ( Tank might need 4 Q to kill, with magic shield 5Q). All u team need do to do is to deal the same dmg u deals to ONE of the enemy who is squishy, if u team cant do that, good luck its elo hell. But when u team is okay to do that and bring one enemy low enough for u to kill, its ur showing time, ulti and q, get kill Q again, now u already deals 3 Q to all the enemies, if they are not fed, they must be very low or even died now, keep Q if u can, if u cant, u must believe u team could finish the enemies who has only few hp...its so easy to get triple even quadra kill in early game with Ap Yi, and u are not KS!!! U deal most dmg, however in late game when u team is also fed, they might steal ur kills :( 5.(okay, here come the late game) Now u must have the Cap, deathfire or(and) lich bane u can simply kill enemy ad and ap carry in one combo if they dont build hp, if they do build mr and hp, that means they deal less dmg, u make u team more easy to survive, u basically doing same thing like early game if thats the case Some other tips: 1.i use ap rune, magic regain rune and mr rune so that i dont get killed in a combo by enemy mid, if enemy use ulti and ignite and havent kill u, use ur w, u will be a man again, and they cant do anything to u in a while 2.when ur bot or top is lossing, dont gank!!!u are wasting ur time to do that, i loss mid only once as ap yi, and thats because i have to help bot when they got destroyed ( die 5 times in 5 mins) people will call mia and will buy ward, ganking just give fed enemy chance to double kill. When U team failed, u are the only one able to safe the world, forget u team, keep farming, becoming a superman. 3.dont just q in enemy team during teamfight and w like a boss. u are apc not tank. NOOBs who doing that make people thinking Ap Yi is only good when enemy has no cc... every champion is good when enemy has no cc!!! 4.tank turret and dragon for ur team because u are master yi u are a man,when no one can stun u, u can w like a boss 5.when u get caught and u team come as soon as possible and enemies already use their stuns on u to bring u hp to a very low lvl, use ur w . Too many times when enemies were keeping focus on me after they used their stuns...my team finish them easily since they insist finish me first...ignite wont be a big deal, when u have 400 ap, no one can kill without stun 6. be nice to ur team even they are not very pro, its a game of 5 person, Just like any other ap carry, Ap Yi needs a team here is a video about Ap Yi in a very high lvl battle, clg.na vs ig ap yi carried his team, even through he didnt get a lot kill in late game, but because the enemies are keeping focus on him, use all ulti on him, which give his team chance to deal dmg and finally make an ace. ( clg has to focus him because he is so farmed and so hurt....) http://www.twitch.tv/evilisnearlol/b/328468271 Compare with other Ap champions, Ap Yi is not even close to bad, its just..too many noo(the letter between a and c)..i mean ..players who is not so organized are using him which making people think he is bad... I hope people will like my "guide" using my tips and carry their team with ap master yi, tell the world, Ap Yi in ranked is not a troll pick... (And u can see me match history with ap yi) |

Rich Eisen always wanted to write a book, not only because he has a lot of fun, interesting stories he's been dying to share with everyone, but also because he's interviewed hundreds of athletes--many of whom like to refer to themselves in the third person. In his eleven years as a national television sportscaster, Rich Eisen has been envious of those athletes because Rich Eisen has never been able to do that on his job, so the host of NFL Network decided to write a book and use it as an admittedly feeble excuse to go third-person on everybody. Not throughout the whole book, of course. That may get quite exhausting for the reader. But for an entire book jacket? Well, Rich Eisen was all over that.
That's the why behind this book. As for the how, Rich Eisen just took it one sentence at a time and hoped for the best. You know, start with a few words and turn those words into sentences which turned into paragraphs and chapters and, eventually, into this book. Rich Eisen didn't worry about the big picture and just kept focusing on the things that he could control--the keyboard, the ON/OFF button on his computer, his dictionary, his thesaurus, and last--but certainly not least--the spell-check on his word processing program. One day, when it's all over, only then will Rich Eisen look back on his career and try to put it all in perspective, but right now Rich Eisen absolutely knows he would not be where he is today without his spell-check.
By now you must be wondering: What's this book about? It's about a journey. It's about eating, living, and breathing the most popular sport in the history of America. The passion. The pageantry. The pigskin. Thanks to his role as host of the NFL Network's signature program, NFL Total Access, Rich Eisen gets to go to virtually every event on the NFL Calendar---the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl, the Scouting Combine, the NFL Draft, and the Hall of Fame Induction Weekend. You name it, Rich Eisen is there. And thanks to this book, you can go along for the ride with him--in front of the camera interviewing league MVPs and former presidents of the United States or behind the scenes with some of the game's all-time greats like Deion Sanders, Ray Lewis, and Brett Favre, just to name a few. I mean, Rich Eisen doesn't want to name-drop. In all seriousness, Rich Eisen doesn't have an ego problem.
At any rate, if you love the NFL (and who doesn't), then this book is for you. If you're curious what it would be like to live the sport year-round, this book is for you. You see, it's not all about Rich Eisen. It's about you reading this book and enjoying it to its fullest. At least Rich Eisen hopes you will.
Advance Praise for Total Access:
"I've always admired Rich Eisen's work, so it's no surprise to me that his book is very entertaining. What is a surprise is that he's somehow found time to write it in between the NFL Network's 6,347 hours of coverage of weak-side linebackers who could be draft-sleepers. That sort of programming and this book about it are both genuine public services." ---Bob Costas
"A lot of things in our lives are far less than as advertised, but this book advertises Total Access and gives you Total Access. That's right. Total Access! I'm not kidding. I liked this book and I'm not a reader." ---Tony Kornheiser, columnist for The Washington Post and co-host for ESPN's Pardon the Interruption
"Rich uses his great sense of humor to detail the life of an on-air NFL personality. It is a world I know well, but still I couldn't stop turning the pages. It is a great read---a must for anyone who loves television and Pro Football." ---Joe Buck, Fox Sports

I usually have to use non-plus-size actresses as inspiration for Style Stealer (Plus!) posts because there are so few plus-size celebrity women, and even fewer ever pop up in our photo feeds. Melissa McCarthy always looks gorgeous all dolled up at red carpet events, but I was extra excited to see her dressed down a bit in this badass outfit for a recent appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman." I have a feeling this look — retro band t-shirt, blazer, printed leggings, statement necklace — is the "real" Melissa, because she's totally glowing in that "I freakin' love my outfit today" way.

Four held for R10m health fraud
Comment on this storyLimpopo - Four people were arrested on Thursday on charges of defrauding the Limpopo health department of more than R10.6 million, police said.
They were accused of fraudulently awarding tenders to companies in which they and their close family members had interests, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said.
"Three of those arrested were members of a tender committee at a Nursing College in Limpopo," he said.
They allegedly obtained and fraudulently used the particulars of other people's companies to inflate prices and ensure tenders were awarded to their companies.
Hawks' spokesman Colonel McIntosh Polela said the arrests followed an investigation that began in February.
"A former state accountant who was arrested at his home in Middelburg was considered a prime suspect," he said.
Police were expecting to arrest the fifth person soon.
A chief provisioning officer, deputy manager, administrative clerk and a deputy manager were among those linked to the case.
Two men and two women were arrested.
They were expected to appear in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Friday on charges of corruption and fraud. - Sapa

State officials Tuesday unveiled a map with eight corridor options for proposed passenger rail service from Rochester to the Twin Cities. It's a baby step on a long road.
The state budget is projected to show a $1 billion surplus over the next two years. But the requests for a slice of that surplus far exceed the money available.
Chuck Marohn thinks Minnesota towns are pulled into Ponzi schemes where new roads create strips of big-box national chains that bring instant gratification and long-term pain.
Your daily dose of Minnesota politics and policy.
Marchers celebrated Martin Luther King Day with a walk from Snelling and University Avenues to the State Capitol steps, where they listened to speeches, chanted protests and remembered those who lost their lives in police shootings.
Hundreds of marchers jammed University Avenue and nearby streets for about four hours Monday, as they called for an end to racial profiling, an independent citizen board to review police conduct and bias and cultural awareness training for police officers.

Peter Kramer/NBC(NEW YORK) — Adam Levine, 35, and Behati Prinsloo, 25, tied the knot less than 10 days ago, but the newly-married Victoria's Secret model isn't afraid to admit that she has babies on the brain.
Prinsloo spoke to Net-a-Porter and told the magazine she has a "definite" plan to have children with Levine, but doesn't look to far into the future.
"I have no expectations. Not in a bad way, but I've learned that you can't plan ahead. I live day by day and see what happens. It's vague, but I like it that way," she added.
Prinsloo also revealed that her look suits her relationship with the Maroon 5 rockstar, whom she married on July 19.
"My look is grungy, very rock'n'roll," she tells the magazine about her style. "I love the '70s; I love the vibe. The music I listen to most is Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, punk."
Levine revealed that he had popped the question to Prinsloo last July and even went on Live with Kelly and Michael, saying the proposal was one of the most intense experiences of his life.
"You can't be confident about it," he said. "I'm a confident person, but I got on that knee and everything changed immediately."

If you were hoping that the litigious nature of the consumer electronics industry would fade out any time soon, well, keep on hoping. Today NVIDIA announced that it has initiated a suit against phone and tablet manufacturer Samsung and mobile chip supplier Qualcomm in the US District Court of Delaware for violating seven of its patents. The company is also petitioning the International Trade Commission to block shipments of Samsung devices using Adreno, Mali, or PowerVR graphical processing units.
Update: It appears Samsung sent out the update removing universal search from international Galaxy S III's mistakenly. I'd say the point still stands for the United States, though.
On December 1, 2004, a patent was filed in the United States naming Apple as asignee (owner). Its title is "Universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system." This patent, which you can find here, has become Apple's most effective weapon in its fight to see Android dubbed an iOS "ripoff" by courts and consumers.
Apple has filed a new complaint with the ITC against HTC over the same data-tapping patent that caused a substantial disruption of HTC's supply line into the United States, and resulted in delayed or stifled launches for a number of phones.
After removing the multi-option dialogue that appeared upon pressing a phone number in an email or webpage from its devices, HTC proclaimed it was clear of Apple's patent on data-tapping techniques.
Official word from HTC on the customs review of its smartphones is that the process has been completed (confirmed for the EVO 4G LTE, AT&T One X). The review was the result of an Apple lawsuit at the ITC for patenting infringement, which culminated in the issuance of an exclusion order for all HTC smartphones entering the US. The statement, below:
According to an exclusion order issued by the ITC, some of Motorola Mobility's smartphone devices are in violation of four claims in a Microsoft patent related to scheduling meetings in a calendar. The specifics really aren't important - basically, the ITC found that Motorola infringed a Microsoft patent related to mobile software for creating and sending meeting invitations.
Motorola and Google had argued that an exclusionary order banning the import of offending Motorola devices wasn't in the public interest, but the judge didn't buy it.
US Customs has halted at least some shipments of the HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE (presumably at the Port of Los Angeles), as a result of an earlier ITC order won by Apple over a patent lawsuit for "data tapping" (context-sensitive text-based actions) in the browser and messaging apps on some HTC phones.
These features, HTC contends, have been removed from the One X and EVO 4G LTE, and HTC is "confident" that it is in compliance with the ruling:
Adding another suit to the series of legal skirmishes falling under the overarching battle between Apple and Android Manufacturers, Motorola Mobility has filed a new lawsuit in Florida, accusing Apple of infringing on a handful of technology patents. This suit is hot on the heels of a preliminary U.S. ITC decision that Moto had not infringed on Apple's patents, and comes as an addition to an existing Florida lawsuit (which began in late 2010).
The blogosphere is currently aflutter with talk of the ITC (International Trade Commission) patent infringement decision in favor of Apple, and the resulting court order banning the import of infringing HTC devices starting April 19, 2012 (4 months from now). The ITC ruled that HTC infringed on two, relatively narrow claims in a patent related to "data tapping" that occurs at the system level in Android.
You know how your phone can automatically "see" an address or phone number on a web page or e-mail and send you to the appropriate app?
Android's latest indirect legal tussle to come to a head, a patent suit between HTC and Apple, was ruled on last week by the US ITC (Court of International Trade) - finding the Taiwanese manufacture liable for two counts of patent infringement. This news has spread like wildfire through every corner of the tech blog world. But is there really anything that's changed right now (or even in the near future) because of the outcome of this suit?
First it was Apple vs. HTC, then it was Motorola vs. us power users, and now it's Microsoft facing off against the third of those three companies.
That's right - Microsoft has just filed an ITC complaint against Motorola over infringements of nine patents allegedly violated in Motorola's Android-related devices. Although Microsoft did not specify the exact patents violated in their press release (which you can read in its entirety below), the company did say that they are related to "synchronizing email, calendars and contacts, scheduling meetings, and notifying applications of changes in signal strength and battery power." I do not see how Motorola has violated any of these; what's more, all of the violations mentioned are most likely built into the Android OS and therefore not Motorola's responsibility, but then again, sometimes companies make as little sense as the devices they push past the FCC.

And I get criticized for supporting the police why?
Officer considered lifesaver in Schenectady shooting
Knife-wielding man killed in domestic call
Mere seconds after he entered the first-floor apartment off Dewitt Avenue, Sgt. Darryl Mallard had to make one of the toughest decisions a police officer can make.
Julio Colon, 40, was pointing a knife at another man already bleeding through his shirt. When Mallard and two other officers entered the room, Colon lunged at his alleged victim.
Mallard acted decisively, firing a single shot from his weapon that struck Colon in the chest. The decorated veteran of 10 years on the force shot twice more when the wounded man tried to turn his knife on police.
Colon later died at Ellis Hospital, but the 23-year-old man he injured survived and was released Friday from Ellis' McClellan campus.
City police are conducting an investigation into the shooting, but preliminary results suggest Mallard was justified in pulling the trigger. Ed Ritz, president of the Schenectady Police Benevolent Association, said the sergeant's decisiveness under extreme duress may have saved lives.
"As soon as that door swung open, he was given a situation and he had to make a decision," Ritz said Friday. "He made the right decision, and it was a difficult one. I give him a lot of credit."
A pattern of violence apparently already existed between Colon and his victim, who was his domestic partner. Schenectady police broke up a violent fight between the two men at the Days Inn during the early morning hours of March 3.
Responding officers found the unidentified victim with swelling around his face and a cut above his eye — injuries sustained during a domestic dispute. Investigators later determined Colon, who was found to have a small bag of methamphetamine, refused to let his partner leave a room at the hotel by repeatedly shoving him back from the door. He also struck and bit the man during the fracas, according to court documents.
Colon was taken into custody and his victim requested a full stay-away order of protection. Colon ultimately pleaded guilty to drug possession, was handed a 30-day sentence and released from the Schenectady County jail on March 22, after being given 10 days off his sentence for good behavior. He left 19 days after he arrived.
Police Chief Brian Kilcullen declined to discuss the probe into Thursday's shooting. He said Mallard is off-duty until Sunday, and the department will determine then whether he's ready to return to work.
"It certainly has a potential to have a psychological impact on an officer," he said. "How the event itself impacts an individual is unique to that individual."
Ritz knows the feeling. In 2009, he was faced with a similar decision when a knife-wielding man attempting to carjack two vehicles, then menaced several people on State Street.
James Tomlin, 25, repeatedly refused police demands to drop the knife and periodically swung it to keep officers away. After police made several attempts to disarm the man, Tomlin, knife in hand, began moving aggressively toward Ritz, who fired two fatal shots.
Though the shooting was later ruled justified, Ritz still sometimes wonders if there was something he could have done differently. He said using deadly force is the last thing any officer wants in a situation.
"It's difficult," he said. "Nobody wants to take another person's life. You're constantly questioning whether there was another avenue to be taken."
But in Mallard's case, Ritz said there clearly wasn't. He said the sergeant handled a high-stress situation quickly and adeptly.
"I give him a ton of credit," he said.
Mallard joined the force in 2003 and was quickly faced with a tough decision on the job. After just 11 weeks on the force, he was confronted with a gun while pursuing James Hamilton, then a 39-year-old State Street man who had robbed cash from a drawer at the YWCA on Washington Avenue.
Mallard didn't know Hamilton was armed as he started a foot pursuit, but as he rounded the corner at Ferry and Liberty streets, he encountered Hamilton with the loaded handgun pointed at him.
When Mallard didn't shoot, Hamilton ran across the street, threw his gun down and surrendered. Mallard had his weapon unholstered when he rounded the corner, but used restraint when he encountered the man who police later realized was trying to get officers to shoot him —a phenomenon some law enforcement agents refer to as "suicide by cop."
"He did a really amazing job in a stressful situation," then-Police Chief Michael Geraci said following the September 2003 incident. "By all accounts, he had the right to draw his weapon and fire his weapon to end the threat."
Remember that when you are critical of posts others make.
Actually; the police are hardly recognized, never happy to be seen in public but are criticized when they don't immediately show up when called. Not a job many want to have, are skilled or self controlled as needed or who would think the average pay is adequate enough for the demands and danger.
Praying that this Sgt can heal mentally in peace. It is never easy to take a life, even when it is just. Keep up the good work SPD. And, its nice to see the gazette print a story that stands behind d their city officers, thank you for acknowledgeing this officer has been know for tact and restraint, for pointing out the positives. We need more articles like it!
There was some question last night if Justin Mason would do the right thing and write the story as it should be written, truthfully. I think he did what he said he was going to do, nice job by the Gazette. I hope this is a turning point in the type of stories that we see written about the SPD, these guys and gals are really good cops and have an extremely tough job to do and they need the support of the city they are protecting not disdain.

Michael Lohan: 'Samantha Ronson Is Disgusting'
Michael Lohan really hates Samantha Ronson. Or he just really wants to be in the public eye for something, anything. Perhaps hating daughter Lindsay's gal pal is the quickest road to the spotlight.
Either way, according to the New York Post, Daddy Lohan sent X17 Online an email in which he called DJ Sam "dark, hideous and a disgusting representation of humanity."
Burrrrn! Michael's beef with Sam goes deeper than her ability to bring his daughter happiness where he himself—an alcoholic jailbird negligent father—has failed.
MiLo is put off by Samantha's coarse communication skills: "She uses her middle finger more than she uses words," he offers.
Also, the conditions in Samantha's apartment are a little fratty for the distinguished philandering mooch. "For God's sake, when she runs out of toilet paper, she tells people to use the cardboard roll. (I was told this firsthand)," the Post reports, as per his e-mail.
For God's sake, Pa Lohan, is a man of morals.
Linds, through her rep, told the Post, "My father obviously needs to be on medication to control his moods."
Actually, he probably just needs to be put on the payroll. Give him a juicy reality show and he'll get out of your hair, Lindsay.

This cream is way to heavy on the perfume, it also oxidizes & gets too dark on my skin about two hours into wearing it. I'l have to use it up, I'm not willing to throw $14 in the trash, but I won't be buying this again & I left a bad review on their site.

This stuff is gross. It smells like an old lady & the scent stays pretty much until you wash it off. It sat on top of my skin and oxidized fairly quickly, and although it didn't go orange, it turned this weird gray-ish color that made me look like half a zombie. Also, about a half hour after I put this on, my face looked like I was the loser of a cage match with an oil slick. Never again.

Out of the 3 BB creams I have now tried I would say that I like this one the best. It has light coverage so when I have a blemish I just use concealer. I like it a lot better than the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream because it is not as runny and looks better on my skin. It blends well and makes my skin smooth. I have also tried the Clinique BB Cream and I would say that the Loreal Youth Code BB Cream is almost the same texture and quality. I like the Loreal better because it is cheaper, it is slightly less pasty, has a pleasant scent, and has made my skin smoother.
Ok, let's start at the beginning. I recently stopped wearing foundations because 1) I have extremely acne-prone skin that gets broken out when I leave foundation on for more than a few hours 2) It is SO hard to find a shade of (drugstore) foundation ... if it is too light, I look HORRIBLE...if its is too dark, I look ORANGE ... 3) It is too much work for everyday and 4) Now I am all about the health of my skin and making it more beautiful naturally.
So, I was thinking of what could I use for my face that isn't so heavy and is good for my skin... immediately I thought of BB creams. After perusing around a little, I randomly picked up this one at Walmart.
So... the bottle is nice and convenient. The consistency feels really nice, not too liquid-y, not too thick, easy to spread on my face. It has a light tint, I like that it is not full coverage because that means it is less work to put on, but it still has a tiny bit of coverage.
Now...about the glowy part. If you put on the cream and leave it like that, (at least for me) it makes you shiny. BUT... if you set it with a powder, you really do glow !
So, I give it 4 stars because honestly, the stuff isn't magic in a bottle. It doesn't cover my acne scars, but then again it doesn't claim to cover anything. so I would recommend this for daytime wear and for people who are going for a low-maintenence look as opposed to a full-on made up, nighttime look.

I found this in the bargain bin at my local grocery store for $7.50, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. First, let me say that I can't stand any kind of heavy foundation so I use powders or TMs exclusively, and I'm also a cheap-skate. I tried Garnier's BB cream when it came out last year and returned it - feeling like I want to wash my face all day is not the effect I'm looking for in my TM. This stuff feels marginally better, but not much. I also couldn't keep the Garnier because the "light-medium" was too dark and orange. This product got the color much closer for me, and I've found that mixing it with my moisturizer (Neutrogena Healthy Skin) makes the texture bearable. But, it is extending the life of my moisturizer and giving my powder or powder foundation something to cling to. And, since it was on clearance, it will be a hassle to return. So I'll use it up, but I wouldn't repurchse.

I got a sample of this at the drugstore earlier, I tried it today and hated it. It took a lot to build it up but I have to say it applied a lot better with a foundation brush, but the smell.....YUCK!! The scent is way too strong and it hangs on for a long time. The worst part of the cream was that it oxidized after a few minutes and that is my biggest pet peeve about any foundation/face product!! I'm glad I got the sample because I wouldn't purchase this.

A nice tm with a strong fragrance, andi I agree this is really not a Bb cream. It looked and felt good in terms of texture and glow, but I found the light sample too light and the medium too dark. I am not buying 2 bottles of this to get the right shade for me. I will stick with the Olay 7 cream with foundation added, because of the antiaging benefits and better shade match for me. The Olay has a light but pleasant texture. The Loreal has a richer creamier fee, which thought
I found this to be the bast part of the product, it might be too rich for daily use for my acne prone skin.
I've tried a few BB creams. The first one I gave a shot was garnier. I didn't hate it, but the color was a bit too warm for me (I have alot of redness on my cheeks and around my nose). Next, I decided to try a higher end BB and went with Stilla. I loved it but the price (around $40) is more than I'm willing to spend on a regular basis. The Loreal Youth Code BB is my most recent purchase. To my surprise, I prefer it to both the Garnier and the Stilla ones that I have tried. The color is great (more yellow undertones than garnier), it covers all of my redness and I find that I dont need any concealer on a daily basis. The staying power is phenomenal (I set it with Tarte's Amazonian clay powder). And as a bonus, it makes for a great eyeshadow base. Overall, for $15.00, this is one of the best beauty buys i have ever seen!

I don't like this BB cream at all. Going on, it initially looked and felt good- very creamy and smooth. BUT then the color changed and turned into this grayish mess. I dusted some mineral powder in my shade on over it (I was planning on powdering anyway) and it helped a little tiny bit. I didnt have time to wash and put something else on. So I went to work and at lunch the cream was sliding off of my face and I looked dead.
I tried it a week later just to wear it at home. I didn't put on powder, though. It was a mess a few hours later and the color is just awful.
I got the light because I'm fair.
I don't recommend this product.

I tried a sample of this in Light. It was a couple of shades too dark and also too warm for my pale skin with a pink undertone. I didn't see any illumination, nor did I care for the scent.
However, as an eyelid primer this stuff is AMAZING! I always put foundation and powder on my lids, both to even out skintone and to act as a barrier against my very oily skin. On the day I tried this cream I forgot to use my eyelid primer. At the twelve hour mark my eyeshadow had not budged one iota! I can't remember the last time that happened.
It is, in my opinion, too expensive to purchase so I hope to swap for a tube in the future.

Ospreys swoop late
Williams signs off in fairytale fashion in last-gasp 31-30 final win
Related links

Ospreys edged out Leinster 31-30 in an epic, six-try RaboDirect PRO12 final to etch their name into the record books.
Shane Williams notched a 78th minute try and Dan Biggar showed nerves of steel to land the difficult conversion as the Welsh region became the first team to win four league titles.
The late knockout punch left the RDS crowd stunned as Leinster were on course to complete a famous European and domestic double - a feat not achieved since London Wasps did so back in 2004.
Joe Schmidt's men had led 17-9 at half-time thanks to tries from Sean Cronin and Isa Nacewa, and another from the Fijian international gave them a 30-21 advantage.
However, the Ospreys showed tremendous grit and will to win as Biggar landed his fourth penalty and then added the extras to Williams' effort to seal a famous comeback win.
The defeat is a bitter pill for Leinster to swallow as it is their third straight loss in a league decider, the Ospreys repeating their 2010 victory in Dublin.
Steve Tandy's side had beaten the Heineken Cup champions twice during the regular season and they nipped ahead thanks to a ninth-minute penalty from Biggar.
Leinster were level within two minutes though, Jonathan Sexton delivering a crisp penalty strike to reward the carrying of Gordon D'Arcy and Mike Ross.
Prop Ross injured his left leg at a subsequent scrum - a concern ahead of Ireland's summer tour to New Zealand - and Kiwi Nathan White had to be introduced.
Biggar hit a three-pointer before the Irish province charged back, with Brian O'Driscoll brilliantly drawing in two defenders to set hooker Cronin free for a rampaging run to the line.
Sexton converted with aplomb, a quality kick which was matched by the in-form Biggar as he topped off a powerful scrum with his third successful penalty.
However, Sexton's pinpoint restart kick was fielded superbly by a leaping Nacewa and the winger burst through for an opportunist try, with Sexton adding the extras from wide out.
But the Welshmen had the try they craved just 84 seconds into the second half, with Joe Bearman's clever offload releasing centre Ashley Beck for a well-taken seven-pointer.
Leinster replied almost immediately, Sexton rifling over his second penalty, before Ospreys captain Ryan Jones infringed at a ruck to allow Sexton to kick Leinster 23-16 ahead.
But in yet another twist, the Ospreys worked numbers on the left to release Williams for a rare scoring chance and he showed his renowned finishing skills by crashing over past Eoin Reddan.
Biggar missed the conversion, leaving Leinster with a two-point buffer, and the league's table-toppers seemed to be turning the screw when Nacewa swooped for his second of this closely-fought final.
Sexton's conversion completed his 15-point haul and pushed the margin out to nine points with just 16 minutes remaining.
It was an uphill task for the Ospreys but Biggar sent over a penalty to give his team-mates renewed hope.
Williams then signed off in fairytale fashion as the diminutive winger ducked out of Rob Kearney's challenge to wriggle over in the right corner and Biggar kicked the decisive blow.

Prof. MinJun Kim will be presenting a seminar on microscale robotic systems.
Date : 21th (MON) July 2014, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Place: Department of Mechanical Engineering
E1 Seminar Room (#3213)
Title: Gangnam Style in Microbiorobotics:
Biologically Inspired Microscale Robotic Sytems
Speaker: MinJun Kim(Associate Professor, Drexel University)
One of the challenges in microrobotics is to find suitable and simplistic ways to swim in low Reynolds number. For such work, magnetically controlled achiral microswimmers with the simplest possible body structures were shown to swim in low Reynolds number environment. Most previous works on artificial microswimmers had always focused on using chiral or flexible structures to generate non-reciprocal swimming motions in low Reynolds numbers; this inevitably brings complicity to the swimmers shapes and structures. However, an achiral and rigid structure can swim under the proper conditions, as demonstrated by this work. An achiral microswimmer consists of three magnetic micro-particles conjugated through avidin-biotin chemistry and magnetic self-assembly. A magnetic control system of approximate Helmholtz coils was used to control the microswimmers. Both directional and velocity control were successfully implemented to navigate the swimmers through low Reynolds number environment. Furthermore, multi-robot manipulation, modular robot control, and PIV characterization had been employed. The implication of the swimming phenomenon and the robust control demonstrated herein serves as great potential to revision future developments of microrobots, especially for therapeutic targeting and minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Title: Development of Medical Devices: Bench to Market
Speaker: Daniel H. Kim (Professor, University of Texas)
Date : 14th (Mon) April 2014, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Place: C1 Seminar Rm (#1121) at Department of Mechanical Engineering
The process of designing innovating medical devices is divided into three phases: identify, invent and implement. First, you identify an unmet medical need and its solution that is not only feasible but also commercially viable. Second, you develop a solution to this need through a group process and prototyping. Last, you transform an idea and a prototype to a real product which can be used to treat patients at the market.
Here we introduce two companies that were founded though this innovating design process. Spinal Kinetics is currently conducting clinical trials of the M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc. Spinal Modulation, Inc. is developing next generation Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) technology to treat chronic pain. We believe that the innovation process helps you to develop a research and implementation plan for a technology or an idea with a potential clinical application.
Dr. Daniel H. Kim is Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School, Houston, Texas where he also serves as the Director of Spinal Neurosurgery and Reconstructive Peripheral Nerve Surgery at Memorial Hermann

TCL will host a seminar titled "Structural and Functional Properties of Metallic Glass : thin film to bulk."
Date : 13th (THU) March. 2014, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Place: Department of Mechanical Engineering
C1 Seminar Rm(#1121)
Title: Structural and Functional Properties of Metallic Glass : thin film to bulk
Speaker: Haein Yim (Professor, Department of Physics, Sookmyung Womens University)
Abstract: Metallic glass can be considered as a new type of metallic materials since it has extraordinary structural and functional properties when compared with corresponding crystalline metallic materials. Metallic glass has promising properties such as high yield strength, hardness, and elastic strain limit, along with relatively high fracture toughness, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. Metallic glass also exhibits good electrical and magnetic properties, so metallic glass has a great potential to be used as a part in various types of devices. Especially, metallic glass has excellent soft magnetic properties (low coercivity Hc, modest anisotropy constant Ku, and almost zero magnetostriction). Based on the recent exciting developments in enhancing the properties of the metallic glass, the possible functional application of bulk metallic glass will be presented.

Dr. Seong-Young Ko (Assistant Professor, Chonnam National University) will be presenting a talk titled "Bio-Inspired Flexible Needle for Percutaneous Intervention and Single-Port Neurosurgical Robotic Platform" on 5 th December 2012.
Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of variety medical pathologies has become important choice in many clinical applications. In this presentation, two researches in medical robotics will be mainly explained. The first topic is development and control of a bio-inspired flexible needle for a neurosurgical percutaneous intervention, which is being developed in the Mechatronics-in-Medicine Laboratory at Imperial College London, UK, where the speaker worked as a research associate. Inspired by the ovipositor of certain insects, the flexible needle was designed so that it consists of multiple segments that are able to slide with respect to each other. The flexible probe can follow an arbitrary smooth trajectory using its unique motion mechanism, so-called a programmable bevel. It was shown that the needle can follow a predefined path in the soft tissue with high accuracy. The another topic of the presentation is a single-port neurosurgical robotic platform, which is being developed in the Robotic Research Initiative at Chonnam National University, Korea, where the speaker works now. In order to minimize an opening for a neurosurgical procedure, surgical instruments are designed to be integrated into a 20mm outer diameter cannula. Through this single port, two highly articulated robotic arms and one stereo endoscope are integrated. It was shown that it provides a sufficient workspace and a dexterous motion to perform the surgical removal procedure of brain tumor. In addition, other research experiences such as an intravascular microrobotic system and a robotic couch for a heavy ion therapy will be outlined briefly.
Dr. Aaron Steinfeld ( Associate Research Professor, Robotics Institute (RI) and Quality of Life Technology Center (QoLT) at Carnegie Mellon University ) has visited TCL on Jan. 29, 2015.

Reviewing the extraordinary progress of the marriage equality movement over the past two decades, Jonathan Rauch coins a term for how changes in public opinion tend to happen in America:
Alexis de Tocqueville, the Frenchman whose observations of America in the 1830s remain shrewdly relevant, famously remarked on Americans' deference to majority opinion: "As long as the majority is still undecided, discussion is carried on; but as soon as its decision is irrevocably pronounced, everyone is silent, and the friends as well as the opponents of the measure unite in assenting to its propriety." Although he exaggerates, the broad point remains true: the legitimising effect of public opinion is such that, other things being equal, majority support tends to amplify itself.
Even if I have doubts about gay marriage, the fact that most of my countrymen are on the other side weakens my resolve and impels me to acknowledge the legitimacy of their view. The difference between support at, say, 55 per cent versus 45 per cent — that is, the different between majority and minority standing — is one of kind, not merely of degree. That is not to say that opposition evaporates or crawls under a rock when it loses majority standing. But its power and relevance are greatly reduced.
Another word for this is the tipping point. But more generally, we are indeed much more susceptible to accepting things that a majority seems to have settled on. My biggest experience of this is living for part of the year in Provincetown.
The place itself simply imposes acceptance by majority rule and the visitors immediately seem to sense that and adjust. They may feel differently if a drag queen were holding up the line at Starbucks in, say, Revere. But in the little town of widespread nonchalance toward otherness, the culture shifts almost at once. As usual, Tocqueville was onto something – long before Malcolm Gladwell.
(Polling from Gallup's latest survey on the question.)

High Energy Physics (HEP)
Experiments at the Intensity Frontier aim to transform our understanding of the cosmos by using powerful particle accelerators and ultra-sensitive detectors to:
1. Measure the properties of neutrinos.
Neutrinos are the most abundant known particle in the universe, but also the least understood. They are extremely light, being less than one millionth of the mass of an electron, and interact with matter so weakly that most neutrinos would pass through a 6 trillion mile long block of lead unscathed. Since neutrinos are also electrically neutral, they are not influenced by electric or magnetic fields. These properties make individual neutrinos hard to detect, so experiments that aim to study them require an extremely intense neutrino source.
Three "flavors" of neutrinos have been observed so far, one associated with each of the three charged leptons (electron, muon, and tau), and each flavor of neutrino will only interact with its associated partner. However, while a neutrino may begin its life as one flavor, it may transform into a different flavor as it travels to its destination through a phenomenon called neutrino oscillation. There is a possibility that neutrinos and antineutrinos behave differently as they go through this transformation, which may be a factor in explaining the current matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) aims to precisely measure the parameters of neutrino oscillation and make the definitive measurement of any difference between matter and antimatter neutrinos. To achieve this goal, physicists plan to send an intense beam of neutrinos on an 800 mile (1,300 km) trip under three states from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, in Batavia, Illinois, to a large detector in the Homestake Mine deep beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota. Though LBNE promises an exciting future for neutrino studies in the years ahead, a suite of other experiments that complement the science behind and develop the technology for LBNE are already underway.
For more information about some of the experiments currently supported by HEP click on the following links:
Currently running experiments:
Planned future experiments:
2. Precisely measure the properties of quarks and charged leptons and search for extremely rare particle interactions.
Precision measurements and rare interaction searches exploit the quantum nature of particles to allow experiments to probe for new particles or forces that are not part of the Standard Model. For instance, a wide variety of possibilities for new physics would affect the strength of the intrinsic magnet inside of a muon, the heavy cousin of an electron. The Muon g-2 experiment aims to measure the strength of the muon's magnet to 140 parts per billion, equivalent to measuring the length of a football field to a tenth of the width of a human hair. The current best measurement of this muon property shows a slight discrepancy with the prediction from the Standard Model, and a higher-precision measurement could yield quantifiable proof of new particles or forces that interact with matter.
The Muon-to-electron conversion experiment aims to exploit an interaction where the quantum possibilities nearly—but don't completely—cancel each other out. In the Standard Model, direct conversion of a muon to an electron is highly suppressed, but new particles or forces could ruin the cancellation and significantly enhance the interaction rate. The key to this experiment is combining a clean and intense source of muons with an extremely sensitive detector. Fifty billion muons will be created every second for two years and sent snaking through three superconducting solenoid magnets on their way to the detector, which will aim to notice perhaps a single rare conversion in every million-trillion events.
The Belle II detector, which will be installed at the intense electron-positron collider SuperKEKB, aims to perform extensive studies of rare decays, searches for exotic particles and precision measurements that could shed new light on the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe while exploring for new particles and forces. The properties of quarks will be studied in detail, especially as they pair up to form B mesons and D mesons, which are known to show a slight preference for decaying to matter over antimatter. Even if new exotic particles are not seen directly, precision measurements at Belle II may lead to evidence for new particles that are involved in quark interactions.

My favorite place to stay is ... A lot of times, I stay at a friend's house, and my favorite one belongs to my friend Vivi Nevo. I love it when he invites me, and when he doesn't, I drop subtle hints in hopes that he will.
I never go to a ceremony without ... My family, especially my wife, Georgina Chapman.
To look my best, I turn to ... My wife. She so distrusts my fashion sense, and for good reason. Not only will she pick out my suit, but she will talk to the people who make the suit to ensure it looks a certain way. Once that's been done, I have to model for her. Embarrassing but necessary.
My best-kept secret about L.A. during awards season is ... One of the highlights is Barry Diller's outside party. I find it to be a really fun place to see everyone in the industry in a more relaxing atmosphere. Also, if your movie is in the hunt and has any shot at awards, there is a good chance you can get really excellent Lakers tickets.

Baby Talk: Snooki Offers Parenting Advice to Kate Middleton (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)
The outspoken reality star talks motherhood tips for the expectant Duchess of Cambridge.
Mommy duty — from the Jersey Shore to Buckingham Palace.
A few months into motherhood, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi couldn't help but share a few words of wisdom for mom-to-be Kate Middleton.
"Advice to be a mom: don't panic," the former Jersey Shore starlet told Celebuzz during a visit to our Hollywood studio. "Everything comes maternally. Honestly, I don't even know how to hold a baby. I wasn't good with kids. And everything just came so naturally. I feel like I'm the best mom ever."
As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare for the July arrival of their first child, Snooki has no worries for the royal baby.
"Honestly, that kid is going to be set for life because they're, like, quadrillionaires," she added. "Guaranteed, right when the baby pops out it's already going to have a security guard. So it's all good."
Snooki may have settled into her new role as proud mommy, but that hasn't stopped her from "meatballin" again. She recently hit the town for a girls' night out with pals, including good friend and costar Jenni "JWoww" Farley.
So, what's the No. 1 thing Middleton should keep in mind as a new mom?
"Don't freak out!" Snooki advised.
