I like handsome and readable--like Syracuse University Library. There is a web-site that tells all you need to know at a glance with easy clicks to the details.
I won't even comment on Ohio State, and just hope Blake didn't design it!"
Let's just say Blake had a part in the design-by-committee, but he still rather likes it.
mdoneil writes "I was just wondering if other librarians have 'library envy' like I do. Do you go to other libraries to see what they have? I do. I have been to libraries in every city to which I have travelled except London. ( I arrived in London on 9/11/2002 @ 6:20AM !, no time to visit the library I had to make train reservations as all connecting flights were stopped).
I have seen libraries in Dublin, ( I did some undergrad work @ Trinity - the Jedi archives ) and many other Irish cities, Madrid, Mexico D.F. and many other Mexican cities, Paris, Iran, Portugal, Belgium, the Vatican, and a bunch of libraries in the States.
Do other people do this too. I hope so. I have decided to use my free time to organize library tours. I think of a reciprocal borrowing type of thing. Librarians from other countries can come to the States to see how we do things, and we can go to other countries to see what they do.
Insofar as I have a few contacts I think I might be able to get the ball rolling. I have some friends at a tour agency in Ireland, and I have some relatives in the religious biz who may have a wee bit of pull at the Vatican libraries. I think a couple of trips to Europe can be arranged.
Bearing in mind that librarians are poor, how does this idea sound?
Would anyone here go on a trip? I am thinking 2K inclusive (air and hotel and a few meals) from an Eastcoast gateway (NYC, ATL, MIA). Other trips such as Iran would of course cost more but they are really interesting. Iranian libraries were fantastic and the librarians really open and helpful.
Let me know your feelings."
mdoneil writes "Since graduation with my MLIS I cannot find a full time well paid position. Sure I can find some part time gigs and contract positions but well paid(at least by librarian standards) full time positions are hard to come by in Florida. I have also applied in other areas of the country but I seldom hear back other than we have hired someone else.
I have the education, an MLIS and a 2nd MS (and an MBA for that matter) and pretty good undergrad education. My resume only has 3 positions from 1985-2003, and my library experience is either part time or short term since then. I thought an internship/residency/fellowship would be a good thing to build both my skills and experience. The ARL internship webpage is really biased against white men. (http://db.arl.org/residencies/FMPro) I thought white, heterosexual, Republican, men were under-represented in the library profession.
If librarians are supposed to be color blind why would it matter to any instution if I were an Indian, or Asian, or Black, or any other ethinic group. I have worked in professions that are mostly white males, and they did indeed have better remuneration, but I want to be a librarian. Why should I be penalized because I don't want to be a Chemist or business executive?"
Here's an interesting question we received today:
"What reference books do you think are indispensible to a
public library? Ie: if you were starting up a library for a community
from scratch, and had several thousand to order your core set of books - what things (err, books) would you get (assuming nothing was ever out of print, etc)"
I'm trying to find a song for my wedding. The chorus goes something like this:
"K-k-k-katie From K-k-kansas City, you're the only girl for me..."
I don't need a copy of the song, but rather the real title and artist, and maybe an album name?
All I know is it's an old song, maybe from the 30's or 40's?
Update: 10/23 16:41 EST by B:We have a winner! It's "K-K-K-Katy" composed by Geoffrey O'Hara in 1918. Thanks all!
Here's A Really Neat "Ask Slashdot" feature on how much we rely on the good 'ol Net for our daily dose of news and knowledge.

He's got a good question, and there are some really Good Answers at Slahsdot, but I'm curious about the LISNewsterz... "Is the Internet Your Source of Knowledge?"
From his post:
"...but if I'm trying to look up something and can't find it online in a couple minutes I generally just blow it off, as if there's no other place to look. This realization seems sort of stunning. I'm very curious if other Slashdot readers have become dependent on the Internet to that level, and what their thoughts are on the subject." "
Anonymous Patron writes "With libraries paying more and more each year in subscription fees for on-line databases, what are librarians doing to drive traffic to these resources rather than to Google and the web? Even more pressing, what are you doing to accomplish this when at least one of the major database vendors (Gale) is now including a direct link to Google in its major periodical databases? (No link, but go check out the search results of any Infotrac database.)"
Michelle Oesterman: "I am a brand new student to the LIU Palmer School MLS program. My intentions
are to become either a school media specialist or a childrens librarian but
I have one major concern. Is the role of the librarian becoming obsolete

couple of years and a fair bit of $ to complete this degree and I hope there
will be jobs available! Any thoughts??"

Battlefield 4
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Origin Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Custom 60 Second Run with FRAPS
Developer Homepage: http://dice.se/
Product Homepage: http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield-4
Battlefield 4 (also known as BF4) is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE, and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a sequel to 2011's Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 features several changes compared to its predecessor. The game's heads-up display is much the same; composed of two compact rectangles. The lower left-hand corner features a mini-map and compass for navigation, and a simplified objective notice above it. The lower right includes a compact ammo counter, and health meter. The mini-map, as well as the main game screen, shows symbols marking three kinds of entities: blue for allies, green for squadmates, and red/orange for enemies.
Compared to the ASUS offering, we can see that the Battlefield 4 numbers for the PowerColor R9 270X PCS+ 2GB have dropped off a decent chunk, with 1680 x 1050 being the only playable resolution. We're not sure if it's the new driver, or just the latest patch from EA. You can never tell with the Battlefield Series, but we'd be leaning more towards this being a problem on the game's side, rather than the driver.

2014 Year in Review, Part 2
Addendum 1/25/15
Monday, January 19, 2015
2014 Year in Review
Happy New Year from the PSF!
2014 was an eventful year for the Python community, and so we thought a brief rundown of highlights from last year should put us all in the right frame of mind to make 2015 an equally, or even more, productive year. There was so much activity in 2014, that it will take the next couple of blog posts to cover it all, so today's post will focus on membership growth, PSF funding, and conferences.
In 2014 the PSF revised the membership rules, creating a new category of "Basic Membership." We now have over 2000 Basic Members in addition to our Sponsoring, Supporting, Contributing, and Managing Members and Fellows. The community has also grown on social media, with followers totaling more than 100K on Facebook, 91K on Google+, and 41K on Twitter.
This increased inclusivity is good news, since the mission of the PSF is to promote the use and knowledge of Python. The more, the merrier. However, this does not mean a dilution of the power and quality of the language or of the community of users. Rather, this is a recognition of the necessity and value of Pythonistas at all levels of technical mastery—from core developers, through daily professional users, through occasional users, to hobbyists, to anyone who believes computer technology and literacy is and will continue to be the intellectual currency of the 21st century, and that open-source, freely available, non-proprietary access to the way the world works is important.
2014 also saw an explosion of Python-related events and conferences around the world. The PSF was delighted to fund many conferences. In total, $78,853.41 USD was given for conference scholarships and $11,270.37 went to workshops. The list includes Django Weekend, PyCon Philippines, Python FOSDEM in Brussels, PyCon Australia in Brisbane, PyData London, PyCon Brasil, DjangoCon Europe, PyCon APAC, PyCon Italia, PyOhio, Python Camp in Cologne, SciPy in Austin, PyCon Kiwi in Wellington, PyCon Russia, PyData Berlin, PyCon ES, PyCon Japan, PyConZA, Python Argentina, PyTexas, and in NYC, both PyGotham and PyData.
In support of the PSF's commitment to education and diversity, we also sponsored programs including Bangalore PyLadies' Introduction to Python Workshop, Gnome Outreach Program for Women Summer Internship, the Kivy Contest, Young Coders in Nashville Public Schools and at PyTennessee, and UNB Saint John Department of Computer Science Python Game Programming Camp. The PSF also gave a grant enabling 20 teachers to attend PyCon UK, funded Django Girls all around the world (at EuroPython, and in Warsaw, Budapest, Edinburgh, Uganda, Krakow, and Kampala), Code Chix in the Bay area, Cyberjutsu Girls Academy, Geek Girls Carrots, and Teen Python Camp in Peru.
Additional grants allowed Python programming projects, education, and conference attendance to become reality for many more Pythonistas. If you know of someone(s) deserving and desiring of financial assistance in order to attend a conference, or otherwise participate, let us know. We have limited resources, but these resources exist for the purpose of advancing the mission of the PSF—and that means helping you in your Python endeavors.
And, of course, April's PyCon 2014 in Montreal was a great success. More on this next time.
P.S If you are not yet a member of the PSF, you can sign up at the python.org website. And be sure to visit the Python Events Calendar to keep current on what's happening and to post your organization's events.

Python Events Calendars - Please submit your 2015 events
As some of you may know, the PSF has a team of volunteers who are maintaining a set of central Python event calendars. We currently have two calendars in place:
- Python Events Calendar - meant for conferences and larger gatherings focusing on Python or a related technology (in whole or in part)
- Python User Group Calendar - meant for user group events and other smaller local events
You can subscribe to the calendars using iCal and RSS feeds and also embed the calendar widgets on your sites. We have also added a Twitter feed @PythonEvents to get immediate updates whenever a new event is added. Please see our wiki page for details:
The calendars are open to the world-wide Python community, so you can have local user group events, as well as regional and international conference events added to the calendars.
Looking back on 2014, the calendars have proven to be a great tool for the Python community to connect, with more than 60 conferences and more than a hundred of user group events listed.
We would therefore like to encourage everyone to submit their 2015 events, so that the Python community can get a better overview over what's happening in Python land.
Adding Events
Please see the instructions at https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar#Available_Calendars for details on how to submit an event. We've made it really easy for you: just need to send an email to our team address using the email template we provide for this. Thanks.
PS: Please help spread the word about the calendars - we'll all benefit from knowing more about Python events happening around the world. Feel free to forward this posting to your local user groups and conference teams. Thanks.

A new conference: Python Namibia!
We just got word that another new conference is starting up: Python Namibia, taking place February 2-5. This first time conference is taking place in Windhoek at the University of Namibia, with collaboration from Cardiff University, giving a group of students an opportunity to attend as part of their studies!
"Open-source software represents an opportunity for developing nations to become owners and producers of the software that they need; it's a key to their future prosperity," said organizer Daniele Procida. "There's an enormous benefit to software developers in being part of a supportive community."
The conference plans to start with two days of talks, a day of workshops and tutorials, and concluding with collaborative activities like sprints, as well as planning work for hosting a PyCon Namibia in 2016.
"We hope that this event will help programmers in Namibia feel that they belong to a welcoming international community that values their participation - and that it will help set a series of virtuous circles into motion," says Daniele.
Keep an eye on http://python-namibia.org/ and follow @PythonNamibia for more info!

Matching Donations to PyPy in September!
We've previously given a $10,000 donation to PyPy, and more recently seeded the STM efforts with $5,000. The PyPy project works with the Software Freedom Conservancy to manage fund raising efforts and the usage of the funds, and they'll be the ones notifying us of how you all made your donations. At the end of the month, we'll do our part and chip in to making PyPy even better.
The matching period runs today through the end of September.

Portland Chosen as PyCon 2016/2017 Location
Portland edged out several other cities in the running, and will make for a great home to PyCon. Several other technology conferences call Portland home, including OSCON, which hosted the last International Python Conference, the precursor to PyCon.
The conference will take place in May of 2016 and 2017, a departure from the recent March and April events of the past. "This will be a great time to visit the Lan Su Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and Arboretum," remarked Jodlowska. The city's wide array of restaurants and entertainment will make for an all around great time. "The city offers great coffee roasters, microbreweries, bakeries, pizza, fine dining, crazy donuts, and best of all FOOD CARTS!"
Following PyCon's trip into Canada, the Portland PyCons will represent the seventh location of PyCon, coming after Washington, D.C.; Dallas, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Santa Clara, California; and Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
As the final dates for the Portland events become available, we'll be sure to announce them here and on the PyCon blog.

Barbara Shaurette and Katie Cunningham earn Community Service Awards
The award is given in recognition of their work to create and run their Young Coders classes, along with freely distributing their teaching materials.
The program began at PyCon 2013 and was an immediate success. The followup blog post is the second most popular post in PyCon's history by a wide margin, and the event was one of the most talked about topics of the conference.
"I don't think you'd ever see that kind of experimentation in a classroom full of adults, who would more likely do everything in their power not to break their computers," Barbara wrote of the kids' ability to learn, write, and run code.Since it's beginnings in Santa Clara it has been run at several other conferences, including again at PyCon 2014 - complete with one day having been taught in French, PyTennessee, and most recently at PyOhio.
We thank Katie and Barbara for their work in actively promoting and teaching Python to a new generation of programmers.

PSF Sponsors the 10th Python Brasil Conference
The organizer's behind the event had the following to say:
Python Brasil is one of the main events about technology at Brazil and Latin America related to open-source software and specially about the programming language Python and its derived applications. This is special year for us, since it is the 10th edition, a milestone in the set of events of this magnitude and celebrates your first release at the Northeast region of Brazil, which it reflects the popularity of the language spreading over all Brazil. The previous editions were all hosted at Southeast and south of Brazil.
The event will host several success cases of organizations using Python at their activities and business, even more, it attracts to Brazil a heterogeneous audience from all over Brazil and foreign countries. More than 300 participants are expected to participate at this meeting, which it will be distributed in several activities such as the conference, desconference also known as Open Spaces, Job Fair, Sprints, lighting talks, tutorials, keynotes and exposition.
The PythonBrasil is a traditional event that happens once a year. In the last editions several cities already hosted the event such as Brasilia (2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), São Paulo (2011), Curitiba (2010), Caixas do Sul (2009), Rio de Janeiro (2008), Joinville (2007), Brasilia (2006) and Campinas (2005). Through the organizations that supported the event we already had several federal universities, companies and recently the commitment of the Government and the federal parliament at Brasilia.
The last edition was one of the largest joining more than 400 Python developers and open-source enthusiasts for all over Brazil. It was a special edition since the event was co-hosted with the International Plone Conference.
We believe this year it will be special, first it will be held at Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, an amazing beach located 37 mi south of the city of Recife, Pernambuco. With great environment for joining our old friends and even making some new ones even doing lots of network. In our opinion, the best part of the event will be between the talks and keynotes with the discussion happening at the open-spaces and our lounges covered by coffee (yeah Brazilian developers loves coffee). We host several events post-conferences. For instance, our Django Day, that it will be our second one, that usually happens at one bar with beer, appetizers and lighting talks. We are planning many other joint events, like the first Brazilian meeting of the PyLadies Brazil, that started this year at Natal, Rio Grande do Norte.
With great technical talks, many invited python references coming to our event and lots of opportunities to meet and learn with many other developers, we believe this year will be quite exciting, specially an event in one of our main touristic points at Brazil.
November is a wonderful time of year to head South and visit Latin America. Traveling internationally can take time to plan, so now is a great time to start!

PSF Sponsors SciPy 2014
"Last year we had about 330 register for the tutorials and conference. This year we are expecting over 450," said organizer Brett Murphy. "Last year we had to shut off registration for the main conference when it hit 300 attendees. This year we can handle up to 800, so we'll see where we end up!"
The keynote schedule includes three great speakers: Lorena A. Barba, Nick Coghlan, and Greg Wilson. Lorena is an associate professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at George Washington University, and a renowned speaker on high-performance computing. Nick is a CPython core developer, PSF Fellow, and software developer at Red Hat, where he works on testing and integration systems. Last but not least, Greg works for the Mozilla Foundation and is the creator of Software Carpentry, a crash course in computing skills for scientists and engineers.
The PSF supports the conference at the Gold level, pledging $4000 in support of the event. This sponsorship will help to defray the cost of lodging and travel for students attending the conference, reduce the cost of attendance for all members, provide time and rooms for development sprints, and more.
SciPy 2014 includes several sub-events, including:
- SciPy John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest
- WSSSPE Workshop
- Women in Scientific Computing Luncheon
- Sponsor Happy Hours on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
- Sprint Dinner for Sprint participants

The Sandy Bridge Review: Intel Core i7-2600K, i5-2500K and Core i3-2100 Tested
by Anand Lal Shimpi on January 3, 2011 12:01 AM ESTGeneral Performance: SYSMark 2007
Our journey starts with SYSMark 2007, the only all-encompassing performance suite in our review today. The idea here is simple: one benchmark to indicate the overall performance of your machine. SYSMark 2007 ends up being more of a dual-core benchmark as the applications/workload show minimal use of more than two threads.
The 2600K is our new champion, the $317 chip is faster than Intel's Core i7 980X here as SYSMark 2007 doesn't really do much with the latter's extra 2 cores. Even the 2500K is a hair faster than the 980X. Compared to the Core i5 750, the upgrade is a no brainer - Sandy Bridge is around 20% faster at the same price point as Lynnfield.
Compared to Clarkdale, the Core i3 2100 only manages a 5% advantage howeer.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Performance
To measure performance under Photoshop CS4 we turn to the Retouch Artists' Speed Test. The test does basic photo editing; there are a couple of color space conversions, many layer creations, color curve adjustment, image and canvas size adjustment, unsharp mask, and finally a gaussian blur performed on the entire image.
The whole process is timed and thanks to the use of Intel's X25-M SSD as our test bed hard drive, performance is far more predictable than back when we used to test on mechanical disks.
Time is reported in seconds and the lower numbers mean better performance. The test is multithreaded and can hit all four cores in a quad-core machine.
Once again, we have a new king - the 2600K is 9.7% faster than the 980X in our Photoshop CS4 test and the 2500K is just about equal to it. The Core i3 2100 does much better compared to the i3 540, outpacing it by around 30% and nearly equaling the performance of AMD's Phenom II X6 1100T.

The Core i5-2500K was just what i was looking for. Performance/ Price is where it needs to be and overclocking should be a breeze. Reply -
vol7ron - Monday, January 03, 2011 - link
I agree.
"As an added bonus, both K-series SKUs get Intel's HD Graphics 3000, while the non-K series SKUs are left with the lower HD Graphics 2000 GPU."
Doesn't it seem like Intel has this backwards? For me, I'd think to put the 3000 on the lesser performing CPUs. Users will probably have their own graphics to use with the unlocked procs, whereas the limit-locked ones will more likely be used in HTPC-like machines. Reply -
DanNeely - Monday, January 03, 2011 - link
This seems odd to me unless they're having yield problems with the GPU portion of their desktop chips. That doesn't seem too likely though because you'd expect the mobile version to have the same problem but they're all 12 EU parts. Perhaps they're binning more aggressively on TDP, and only had enough chips that met target with all 12 EUs to offer them at the top of the chart. Reply -
dananski - Monday, January 03, 2011 - link
I agree with both of you. This should be the ultimate upgrade for my E8400, but I can't help thinking they could've made it even better if they'd used the die space for more CPU and less graphics and video decode. The Quick Sync feature would be awesome if it could work while you're using a discrete card, but for most people who have discrete graphics, this and the HD Graphics 3000 are a complete waste of transistors. I suppose they're power gated off so the thermal headroom could maybe be used for overclocking. Reply -

Great review guys! Reply -
vol7ron - Monday, January 03, 2011 - link
Great review, but does anyone know how often 1 active core is used. I know this is a matter of subjection, but if you're running an anti-virus and have a bunch of standard services running in the background, are you likely to use only one core when idling?
What should I advise people, as consumers, to really pay attention to? I know when playing games such as Counter-Strike or Battlefield: Bad Company 2, my C2D maxes out at 100%, I assume both cores are being used to achieve the 100% utilization. I'd imagine that in this age, hardly ever will there be a time to use just one core; probably 2 cores at idle.
I would think that the 3-core figures are where the real noticeable impact is, especially in turbo, when gaming/browsing. Does anyone have any more perceived input on this? Reply -

What resolution is tested under Gaming Performance on pg. 20? Reply -
johnlewis - Monday, January 03, 2011 - link
According to Bench, it looks like he used 1680×1050 for L4D, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Crysis Warhead, Dragon Age Origins, and Dawn of War 2, and 1024×768 for StarCraft 2. I couldn't find the tested resolution for World of Warcraft or Civilization V. I don't know why he didn't list the resolutions anywhere in the article or the graphs themselves, however. Reply -
karlostomy - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link
what the hell is the point of posting gaming scores at resolutions that no one will be playing at?
If i am not mistaken, the grahics cards in the test are:
eVGA GeForce GTX 280 (Vista 64)
ATI Radeon HD 5870 (Windows 7)
MSI GeForce GTX 580 (Windows 7)
So then, with a sandybridge processor, these resolutions are irrelevant.
1080p or above should be standard resolution for modern setup reviews.
Why, Anand, have you posted irrelevant resolutions for the hardware tested? Reply -
dananski - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link
Games are usually limited in fps by the level of graphics, so processor speed doesn't make much of a difference unless you turn the graphics detail right down and use an overkill graphics card. As the point of this page was to review the CPU power, it's more representative to use low resolutions so that the CPU is the limiting factor.
If you did this set of charts for gaming at 2560x1600 with full AA & max quality, all the processors would be stuck at about the same rate because the graphics card is the limiting factor.
I expect Civ 5 would be an exception to this because it has really counter-intuitive performance. Reply

Higgs boson: So who is getting the Nobel?
The discovery of a particle thought to be the elusive Higgs boson has prompted a new investigation: Whose names will be engraved on the Nobel Prize in Physics medal?
Denis Balibouse, Pool/AP
There's the science, and then there's the glitter. As researchers celebrate the best-yet evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, some are already thinking about who's going to get the Nobel Prize in physics for the seminal discovery.
Stephen Hawking told the BBC that he thinks Peter Higgs, who first theorized about the particle, should get the prize. But the award can go to as many as three people and even to groups, though the science Nobel committees haven't yet seen a need to recognize groups, says Sven Lidin, chairman of the Nobel committee in chemistry. So who else may share the podium with Higgs?
The talk around the physics prize for the Higgs boson is especially hot because so many people were involved in the research teams that worked at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Modern physics is bigger than ever.
The great majority of research performed since the 1940s has been conducted by teams of people working in laboratory groups, said Tom Broman, a historian of science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
"The problem of making awards to individuals has been exacerbated, but by no means created, by the scaling up of research projects," Broman said in an email.

Heading to a Arena Soccer game here in about 20 minutes. Normally I wear a big Yellow jersey with a Red bullseye on it in goal. Tonight I am wearing MY Germany Jersey.
We could almost start a thread, what world soccer and Rugby teams do you follow and why.
The number 1 question my friends would ask when they saw my Germany gear...Was your family Nazis? Their tone changes when I tell them how my Great Grandfather, who's German, luckily survived imprisonment in a concentration camp for speaking out about Hitler.

For a two-dimensional material, graphene is certainly punching above its weight in terms of potential applications. Already set to enable faster, stronger and foldable electronic devices, researchers claim that the single layer lattice of carbon atoms can also help keep electronic components up to 25 percent cooler, giving it the potential to significantly extend the working life of computers and other electronic devices. Read More
A study conducted at Columbia University has revealed that even when stitched together from much smaller fragments, large sheets of graphene still retain much of their mechanical properties. The discovery may be a crucial step forward in the mass-production of carbon nanotubes that could be used to manufacture flexible electronics, ultra-light and strong materials, and perhaps even the first space elevator. Read More
A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a new image sensor from graphene that promises to improve the quality of images captured in low light conditions. In tests, NTU claims it has proved to be 1,000 times more sensitive to light than existing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) or charge-coupled device (CCD) camera sensors in addition to operating at much lower voltages, consequently using 10 times less energy. Read More
For many people, the word "robot" is likely to conjure up images of metal, mechanical men not unlike Cygan. But instead of creating robots in our own image, the relatively new field of "soft robotics" takes inspiration from creatures such as octopuses, squids, starfish and caterpillars for soft, flexible robots that could squeeze through small spaces. Such robots could benefit from a new hydrogel developed at the University of California, Berkeley that flexes in response to light. Read More
Transparent electrodes are in and of themselves nothing all that new – they're currently used in things like touchscreens and flat-screen TVs. Thanks to research being conducted at Indiana's Purdue University, however, a new class of such electrodes may soon find use in a variety of other applications, including flexible electronic devices. Read More
While we hear a lot about flexible electronics that can be gently bent, how about ones that could actually be folded up? Things like the recently-developed graphite-based paper circuits definitely show promise, but now researchers from Illinois-based Northwestern University have taken another step forward – they've created graphene-based inkjet-printable ink. Read More
It consists of one-atom-thick sheets and it could revolutionize electronics ... but it's not graphene. Chemists at Ohio State University, instead of creating graphene from carbon atoms, have used sheets of germanium atoms to create a substance known as germanane. Because of its numerous advantages over silicon, it could become the material of choice for semiconductors. Read More
Not even a year after it claimed the title of the world's lightest material, aerographite has been knocked off its crown by a new aerogel made from graphene. Created by a research team from China's Zhejiang University in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering lab headed by Professor Gao Chao, the ultra-light aerogel has a density lower than that of helium and just twice that of hydrogen. Read More
The European Commission has announced two Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships that could each receive funding of a staggering one billion euro (US$1.3 billion) over a period of ten years. The "Graphene Flagship" and the "Human Brain Project" are large-scale, science-driven research initiatives designed to "fuel revolutionary discoveries" and provide major benefits for European society – hopefully creating new jobs and providing economic growth along the way. Read More
Despite its numerous wondrous properties, a propensity to stick together and be difficult to flatten out once crumpled can make working with graphene difficult and limit its applications. Engineers at Duke University have now found that by attaching graphene to a stretchy polymer film, they are able to crumple and then unfold the material, resulting in a properties that lend it to a broader range of applications, including artificial muscles.

'UNTIL HE DIED in 2010, my brother was often mistaken for being drunk. There were the frequent car accidents, the flashes of anger, the cloudy thinking, and especially Jims wild body movements and slurred speech. People would stare after him as he lurched and wove down the sidewalk. We thought his illness was the result of a snowboarding head injury. When Id press Jim about his health, he would deflect my questions. Im better, he insisted.
Then Jim was dying. As I sat in the pale winter light of a hospital room in Colorado with my sister-in-law, she confessed that for years shed suspected he suffered from a deadly hereditary disease. I forced the truth from his doctor: my brother had Huntingtons disease. I didnt know exactly what Huntingtons was, but I knew it was an irrevocable death sentence.'
'It wasnt until after his memorial service that I focused on what his diagnosis meant for me. One night I sat down at my computer and did a Google search. Huntingtons is all about the numbers; I learned I had a 50 percent chance of getting the disease. There is no cure. Then I saw the unthinkable: not only might I carry the lethal HD gene, but my children might too.'
Source: http://www.psmag.com...-disease-51416/
I decided to post this in the Philosophy and the Psychology section because it's a mental choice that could affect a person's entire life and world views. What are y'all's views on such diagnosis? If there was a chance you might, would you?

Surgical Endodontics MCQs
Question no 1: the objective of incision and drainage are
- To evacuate exudates and purulence from a soft tissue swelling
- Incision for drainage increases discomfort
- Drainage through the soft tissue accomplished most effectively when swelling is firm and non- fluctuant
- Incision for drainage is always made horizontally into the swelling
- Incision of drainage speeds up healing process
Question 2: Peri apical surgery is indicated
- When there is persistent peri apical infection that cannot be resolved with non- surgical root canal re- treatment
- When there is true cyst
- Severe periodontal disease
- Irretrievable posts and root fillings and there removal would result in further damage to the root structure
- Unidentified cause of conventional root canal failure
Question 3: root end resection
- It removes the untreated apical portion of root
- It provides angled surface to prepare a root and cavity preparation
- It should be perpendicular to long axis of tooth
- It expose additional canals, apical deltas, or fractures
- It should be around 5 mm because most of additional canals are present in apical 5mm
Question 4: indication for root amputation or hemisection
- Preservation of strategically important roots and its accompanying crown
- Root fusion or proximity
- Untreatable roots with broken instruments, perforations, caries, resorption and calcified canals
- Severe periodontal disease
- Inability to complete root canal treatment on either half.

Acute Apical Abcess/Periapical Abscess/Periredicular Abscess:
It's one of the painful dental emergency results from extension of bacterial infection from dead pulp into the periapical tissues.
Acute Apical Abscess are of Two types
- Diffuse
- localized
Case 1:
Case 2:
Localized abscess
- Increase exposure to fluoride during tooth formation will lead to dental fluorosis.
- Normal optimum level of water fluoride is upto 1ppm
- Increasesd level of fluoride more then 1ppm will cause fluorosis
- Clinically it appears as white opaque areas to brown discoloration and pitting of enamal
- In severe cases hypomineralised enamel becomes very fragile and undergo surface damage
- Management of dental fluorosis varies according to severity
- In Mild cases micro and macro-abrasions and bleaching are treatment options
- In moderate cases composite restoration and veneers are treatment options
- In severe cases full crowns
Case 1
A female patient aged 21 came to conseravtive department with the chief complian of discolored upper central incisor.discoloration is present since her childhood. Clinically the discolration is of mild grade according to dean's index
Mild grade fluorosis
Case no 2
23 year ol female with the chief complain of discoloration and tooth surface loss in upper anterior region.On examination mild to moderate grade fluorosis according to dean's index
Mild to moderate grade fluorosis
Management with composite restoration
Broken / fractured endodontic instrument
Broken instrument is one of the procedural accidents that occurs during cleaning and shaping of root canal system.
Causes of broken instrument in root canal:
Improper use of instrument
Same instrument used for many times
Excessive force applied to file during cleaning and shaping
Lubrication of instrument with irrigating solution such as sodium hypochlorite or with lubricating agent EDTA (ethyl diamine tetra acetic acid)
Instrument should be examined before use, if there is and untwisting in file which will be visible as shiny spot then it should be discarded
Small no. of files must be discarded after single use.
NiTi files do not show any sign of untwisting so they must be discarded before untwisting is seen
There are three methods of management
Make an attempt to remove it
Attempt to bypass it
Fill and obdurate it.
This is the radiograph of 25 year old male presented with pain in lower right and left 1st incisors. The teeth had been endodontically treated 2 years before. Periapical radiograph showed inadequate filled canals and periapical radiolucency associated with lower right and left 1st and 2nd incisors and broken instrument in left lower 1st incisor.

Dental Fistula: case reports with images
Dental Fistula/ Cutaneous Fistula of Dental Origin/ Suppurative Apical Periodontitis/ Apical Periodontitis With Fistula.
Dental fistula is a communication between the oral cavity and cutaneous surface of face
It is a squeal of infection from dental pulp that spread beyond the apex
Generally it is a painless condition because when drainage occurs, pressure relieves and symptoms disappear.
Chronic inflammation involves apical portion of tooth's root.
Drainage mostly occur within oral cavity on facial or buccal side of alveolar ridge
Rarely occurs on cutaneous surface of face
Intraoral sinus tracts are common but extra oral fistula is not common.
Treatment involves complete debridement and obturation of root canal or Extraction.
Case 1:
This is the case of 10 year old patient with the chief complain of draining pustule from one month. Clinical examination reveals extraorally cutaneous draining fistula, intraorally grossly carious left mandibular 1st molar. Vitality test was negative. Radiographic findings are radiolucency associated with distal root of 1st molar and open apices. gutta percha point was used to trace the fistulas tract and was confirmed from radiograph it was associated with mandibular 1st molar. Diagnosis was chronic apical abscess or suppurative periodontitis with fistula.

Autotransplantation Of Tooth
23 year old female was referred for dental treatment with the chief complain of pain in mandibular right 1st molar. Clinically the tooth was grossly carious. Periapical radiograph revealed coronal caries involving pulp and periapical radiolucency associated with mesial root of mandibular 1st molar. From the history of pain and examination it was confirmed that patient had irreversible pulpitis so root canal treatment was performed.during access cavity preparation iatrogenic furcation area gets perforated and tooth was difficult to treat and extraction was indicated.mandibular 3rd molar of same site was clinically and radiographically sound and decision was made to transplant 3rd molar in place of extracted 1st molar.

Executive chef Vipul Bhasin brings more than 18 years of global cooking experience to Coriander. Eschewing many modern marvels of meal making, Bhasin cooks his cuisine with traditional Indian appliances such as the tandoor oven, the kadai cast-iron pot, and the Aishwarya Rai smoldering gaze in his one-man quest to put microwave repairmen out of work. This passion for tradition is reflected in Coriander's décor: adorning the brightly painted walls are handmade tapestries representing different regions of India, including an astonishingly lifelike one that resembles a parking lot outside an Indian restaurant (look closely and it almost seems to move). Patrons can also unfurl the bamboo blinds between each of the restaurant's booths for a stronger secret-sharing shield than stage whispering.
Taking to heart the idea that three is a magic number, the owners of Mugshots CoffeeHouse dedicate themselves to a triple bottom-line business model that supports people, profit, and the planet. Organic direct trade beans constitute the whole of the steamy coffee and espresso drinks served by the baristas, and locally raised, earth-friendly foodstuffs comprise each hot sandwich found on the menu. Much of the money generated by the brisk bean trade goes toward charities of both local and international origin. When not welcoming community organizations for meetings or fundraisers, the venue shows off its artsy side with film nights, open mics, and staged readings of VCR instructions.
The rhythmic sound of a chopping knife behind the counter at Saladworks means that someone has just ordered one of its entree-size signature dishes. Under the customer's watchful eye, the staff preps each bowl of greens to order, slicing veggies and grating fresh cheese every day. These greens get tossed with protein options such as chicken or roasted turkey, and housemade croutons and bacon add a crunchy texture. A white or wheat tortilla can embrace these ingredients for a handheld meal, making for easier eating while driving to work or directing runners to steal third.
Santa Fe Burrito's cooks assemble fresh ingredients daily to fill made-to-order burritos with generous portions of chicken, turkey, shrimp, vegetables, beans, and tofu. Menu options range from traditional burritos with black beans and cheese to ultimate burritos stuffed with Adobo shrimp, chicken chili, or turkey burger.
It's easy to focus on what Sweet Freedom Bakery leaves out: dairy, wheat, preservatives. It's better to focus on what they include: agave nectar in the vanilla chocolate-chip cupcakes, tapioca flour and unsweetened applesauce in the double mint-chocolate-chip cookies. Everything is vegan and gluten-free, plus allergy-friendly: the bakery uses no peanuts or corn.

Saana, Boma or Jiko
Which one? I would like to try one for our next trip/honeymoon. We have never tried any of them before!
Recommendations? |
Jiko is one of the Signature restaurants, I have never eaten there.
I have eaten at Boma, which is a buffet, which I really liked and it gives you an opportunity to try many different foods. I have eaten at Sanaa, and for me is my favorite restaurant. I would look at the menus and decide which sounds good, you will get alot of mixed reviews. If you like the menu at Jiko, since it's your honeymoon, try that. We are a family of 5 and Jiko is just too expensive for us. Also, the menu wouldn't work for my family. All of us like Boma! All of us love Sanaa! |
We loved Sanaa but thought Boma was just ok so i would pick Sanaa over Boma.
We have never eaten at Jiko but it is on our list. Would probably be good for a honeymoon |
I think if money is no issue, most people will tell you to go with Jiko. Don't think I've ever heard a bad review from there but personally, we've never eaten there because I can't see spending more money for similar food you can get at Sanaa which is AMAZING!! If you want to be a little more budget conscious but still get high quality food and service, go for Sanaa! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Also, I don't think I've ever heard a bad review from there, either. Btw, congratulations!
Jiko is an outstanding restaurant, and my favorite on property. It's quiet, romantic, and serves unique, well-executed cuisine. The service is stellar and the wine list extensive, including many African wines you won't find elsewhere in the US. It's a MUST for a honeymoon.
All that said, Sanaa is also a gem. It's another favorite, though I don't think it's quite as "special" in terms of ambiance or service. |
Jiko is our number 1 pick for signature dining. Great food, service and atmosphere. We also love Sanaa and the prices are cheaper. Boma is good but I don't really get the hype about it, although I am not a huge fan of buffets so that may be why.
My opinion: 1. Jiko, 2. Sanna, 3. Boma.. I really don't think you will be sorry for picking any of the 3, I personally don't like buffet's, thats why Boma is my last choice.
Congratualtions on your upcoming wedding! princess:
For a honeymoon dinner - Jiko. Saana is also excellent. We really also love BOMA but it can get noisy in the restuarant. For a romatic dinner try Jiko. |
Congratulations! We would choose Boma, but being your honeymoon might affect your choices.
"Sanaa" !!! Quickly became our fave TS restaurant last month !! Love it !!
It looks like I'll be the first to post a negative review of Jiko here, but I think it's currently one of the most overrated restaurants on the DIS. We consider it the most overrated signature for sure. Maybe, we would have enjoyed the meal more, if we hadn't read what I consider over-inflated reviews here. The appetizers were very good. Our entrees & desserts were average. I've had both that were just as good or better at non-signature restaurants. From reviews here, we were expecting exotic (by WDW standards) food. That wasn't what we were served. The appetizers were the only thing that stood out as especially flavorful. The other dishes were mostly bland. If we ever return to Jiko (unlikely), we'll order appetizers & maybe a dessert. They do have a nice wine list going for them. We're not ones to skimp on food on vacation, but I can honestly say we felt this was the most wasted $250 we've ever spent on a meal.
It's been a long time since we ate at Boma. Things may have changed since then, so I won't offer an opinion. We've never dined at Sanaa, but we plan to try it soon. Some of the people here who seem to have similar dining styles/tastes as us recommend it. I'm hoping we'll get lucky & be served more authentic dishes there. |
Boma is the best buffet on property really fun and exciting atmosphere with pretty good food and very good service Sanaa has a relaxed atmosphere with really some of the coolest views anywhere in the entire world! I think the food is outstanding and service is pretty good Jiko really is the best of the three it is the most expensive but it has a very refined and relaxed atmosphere the food is outstanding as well! The only downfall was service was just okay it was better than some restaurants but not as good as others If I could only choose one I would choose Jiko but you cannot go wrong with any of them!!! |
We've been to Boma many times & liked it, Jiko once and were very impressed. With respect to Boma, as good as the food is it's a big 'ol noisy
place. Jiko is much more low-key and more "adult" in nature. Haven't tried Sanaa but many Dis-ers rate it highly.:earsboy: |

By Emma Orlow in TV on Jul 03, 2012
As with Jordan Catalano's group, "The Frozen Embryos" on the 90s TV show, My So-Called Life, band names don't necessarily have to make sense. Especially when you're a teenager-- they're just another way to express bottled-up angst.
Although I could stare at pictures of early Mick Jagger all day, I'm less excited by band members than by the bands' names themselves. I just love coming up with names for fictional bands that will likely never exist. For the past couple months, my friends and I have been members of an imaginary band called The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlenecks. We even tried to write lyrics at one point.
That's why I find the anonymous Twitter account @_mynewband so fun to troll through; every tweet is a different free band name up for grabs. Some are pure genius, like "Drive-Thru Synagouge," "Dream Skillet," "Clinical Moonboot," and "Loco Ono." If you have a blasé band name and are looking to break out, I'd suggest checking this Twitter out for a giggle, and perhaps some inspiration.
And although he didn't tell me personally, I'll just assume these names would all be Jordan Catalano-approved. What more reason do you need?

"I got this for Thank You cards after my daughters 2nd birthday party. They're pretty adorable. The paper is nice and thick but I was just ever so slightly disappointed with the photo quality. It's probably just the photo I chose or the fact that it's on this thick paper (it just wasn't as clear and smooth as I thought it might be). Overall, I thought it was a great card and would recommend."
"I ordered this stationary for myself as a thank you I love the colors and the sweetness of the design. The card quality is lovely."
"This is the cutest card ever!!! Such a beautiful use of Gold and Pink, which matched my daughter's party theme perfectly!!!"
"Has always been excellent service and fast shipping to Canada!. I continue to use them for every occasion for our little one."
"Again, Tiny Prints did a great job. I love these cards! Can't wait to use them and be able to send them out to my family & friends. I didn't realize there were different options of colors with the baby elephant and writing. It doesn't matter all that much, but I am not finding out the gender of the baby so I would have probably went with the Violet instead of the Begonia. Thanks Again!!"

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely love this invitation design and quality! I fell in love with the teal standard colors because my wedding is teal with silver and pink accents. I ordered the sample first and was not pleased with the stock paper quality. I ordered my invitations with the pearl white shimmer paper and they look and feel beautiful! I am so excited to send my invitations out next week! Absolutely beautiful!! Just in case you didn't read the prompt Wedding Paper Divas shows, these do require the additional postage just because they are square size. $0.70 stamps required."
"I was so happy with my invite. I was not thrilled with the wording on the sample card and it was able to be changed with no problems. I contacted customer service twice to ask questions before I ordered and eveyone was always polite and answered my questions thoroughly"
"The invites were gorgeous!! The preview was very helpful, and I LOVE the way they turned out. Customer service was very friendly and helpful. Great job!"
"This card is amazing in the blue and gold option, which I purchased. I used it for my indian engagement ceremony invitations, and it worked perfectly as I could personalize the different text fields to use the language and fonts I preferred. When I couldn't change something to see its look, I used the online chat to get assistance from a rep. I also picked the pearl finish which made it subtly shiny and gorgeous! So happy how it turned out :)"
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."

Wow, now I am breathless. You always have a way with making things look so spectacular! I'll bet people that come for a visit are quite impressed. If you are going to give up a pond, which I love by the way, then that would be the way to go. Thanks for showing us. Mike |

Love what you've done with your pond Kathi. I'm toying with filling in one of ours, lighten the work load for DH. Now that the big cherry tree has been cut down this spot gets more sun, a succulent garden perhaps :). I'd have to sink the pots with the tender ones, won't winter here too much rain. You have some real beauties, love that last echeveria do you know which one it is? And... that pink epi is gorgeous. Annette |

Glenn,that a crown of thorns,that's the one i asked about a few weeks ago as it grows so tall and lanky.My other one is much shorter and fuller,also different color.When i got the 2nd one it was yellow,now it's a peachy color. Yes Mike people are always impressed with my yard,gardens and flowers,and even more impressed that i know the names of so many. If you guys are interested i also posted a bunch over at the cottage garden forum today,of some of my perrinials and annuals and such. Thanks for the comments. |
Kathi, Too bad you had to give up your pond for the garden and not keep both. But you have a beautiful garden-pond! Alex. |

Thanks everyone,that pond was dh's he built it in 1999 after suffering a small stroke.Then this past april(2012) he almost met his maker again,only this time it was more serious.He had a subdural hematoma,and had 2 brain surgeries with a week of each other,to have the blood clots removed and the bleeding stopped.I call him my miracle man,and the dr's agree with me. Anyway after he recovered,he decided he didn't want to bother with the pond anymore as it was no longer a joy to him between the crows eating the fish and the neighbors cats using the perimeter for their potty,so he said,i'll turn it into a garden,so i said let's make it a low maintenance garden,like a succulent garden.He liked that idea,and the rest they say is history. Wantomara,i don't know what that semp is,i got it and the other one at the .99cent store.When i saw them there i hurried up and grabbed them and 2 or 3 others that day,they were soooooo healthy and nice,but like most stores,no tags on them and i havn't taken the time to look them up. Don't forget to visit the Cottage Garden Forum and see the post there!! |

Design ideas with console tables
Today, console tables are seeing more use than just as a decorative piece. With more of them being designed for other uses than they have seen, it is no surprise to see them being used as desks, dressing tables, and even as media tables. A white console table done in a vintage style could certainly pass as a quality dressing table, while the same style in black could see double duty as an executive desk in a home office.
Console tables today are often designed in a non-traditional manner so far out there as to be considered modern works of art. An oak console table in the shape of an S holds glass shelves for artistic displays, while a mango or shabby chic console table finds a home in the kitchen displaying antique jugs and jars. A mirrored console table takes a place of honour at the end of an upstairs hallway, no doubt beneath an antique mirror, while the glass console table displays an variety of electronic media in the family room.
