Saying that 'nobody' wants to unlock the interlocked compromises (of the EU's) past suggests that Charlemagne needs to get out more. We must see to the democratic deficit for a start. 100 years ago we decided that the Commons was the only authority with powers of tax-raising and expenditure and back in 1689 we also decided that no parliament could bind its successors (otherwise why have elections?) The EU-as-is drives a coach and horses through those principles which is not just something for school civics classes: it matters. Mr Cameron (or anybody else) is entitled to use the Vienna Convention to insist on a new relationship to include the free-trade area, supports intergovernmental ventures like EMSA and CERN but repatriates ag-and-fish and forbids EU interference in our internal affairs: he would receive overwhelming support and merely be delivering on the written promises of the 1975 referendum. The rent-seeking bureacrats would scream blue murder but the world would continue to rotate on its axis and at a reasonable guess the direct and indirect costs would probably be cut in half. He faces a political problem if he does not because the likely backlash from small-c consevatives mounting Goldsmith-like campaigns in Tory marginals could bring him down in 2015. I write as one: lived there for two years, rustily trilingual, worked in eight EU countries travelled all over it and once played a small part in defending it. Europe 'oui' the EU 'non'!
The EU has been proven to be a hoax perpetrated by politicians on the taxpayers, much like the IPCC unproven theory "anthropogenic CO2 causes global warming". Hopefully both die their well deserved death soon and the perpetrator politicians severely punished for their hoax.
A democratically elected government' screw ups are punished by losing the next election - a process that is absent from the EU. Yes, each country sends its representatives to EU, but this is only collection of nationalists meaning not EU nationalists.
A Portugal's member doesn't care about boat people in Azores, because it is Spain; similarly France about Roma as long as they stay in Hungary.
wszycho €U mentality would be to ignore your little protests just like the €Urocrats pushed through the €U Constitution, it will always go for glory and stamp on anyone else.
It has emerged that fines relating to cash given by the European Regional Development Fund since 2000 have reached almost half a million pounds
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is a fund allocated by the European Union and those who receive grants are obliged display the EU flag or logo.
If the flag or EU logo is not displayed, the institution can be fined for technical publicity breaches for failing to credit the fund."
Poland is as good gone, nothing more than a region of an empire... again.
Common European currency is a very good idea, sending money on activities to the member states probably saved Europe from the looming economic disaster, but I hate this stupid notion of giving something to someone for a very long time when everybody knows that they are not going to be able to pay it back. All along it was known that Greece will never be able to pay back its huge debt, yet ECB was giving then new money. Just in case ECB doesn't know, I haste to inform them: Poland will never be able to pay back money they are currently borrowing from the EU. Please do us a favour and stop financing us!
...any euro handed to Brussels is a euro that is not available for spending at home...
In reality all the money channelled through the EU budget goes straight back to the Member States (via pubilc procurement, grants or subsidies).
The EU budget is spent on activities that comply with the 'subsidiarity' principle, i.e. only in cases where it makes much more sense to spend the money on cross-border projects due to the impact or the nature of the underlying problem these actions will address.
But for most Europeans the EU budget simply disappears in the mist of Brussels...it's a shame that the general perception is so wrong.
To be frank: to hell with the EU, this dictatorship in disguise.
A budget of "0" would be the approbriate budget - and by the way a most efficient way to reduce corruption and the self-serving decisions of an despisable "elite" of civil-non-servants and officials.
True, I sort of had my head in the sand, but the latest financial developments in Greece woke me up. However I still hope that I can rely on ECB's common sense and their ability to perceive possible outcome which such overhasty introduction of €U in Poland might provoke. Suddenly the entire Polish nation could unite against European Union (= Germany in Polish context), and we would end up having WW3 a rebours, the very thing that Schuman and Adenauer were desperate to avoid. As a Pole I simply can't imagine peace in my country when Polish prime minister (how long will Donald Tusk last?)will point out to the West ("EU=Germany" in Polish context) saying: "they told me to cut your salaries, pensions, social benefits and so on, they are to be blamed". There's no way that the Poles will ever accept this, that's why I'm sure that the decision will not be taken above our heads and behind some closed doors in Brussels, there must be Polish consent to this by means of successful nationwide referendum on that matter.
wszycho the €U is quite likely to force members to take on the €Uro, they will of course do it by stealth, with new legislation, that Poland will except or leave the €U.
If you don't think that is true, then you have your head in the sand.
You wrote: 'nobody in the planet Earth has ambition to have Earth Union', and it is a false assertion because I for one strongly believe that such contraptions like USA or USE (United States of Europe) are sooner or later going to be replaced by the Earth Union exactly (sic). European Union is constantly being destroyed by the omnipresent propaganda of someone giving something to someone else for free and vice versa, someone constantly is getting media feedback that it is enough to be smart and you can live out of the so called 'European funds', which obviously is shear stuff and nonsense. Even in this week's Charlemagne there is a mention of Poland being afraid of loosing the 'funds' (sic). Honestly, one gets fed up with all these fairy tales of benefactors and their recipients. Why can't it be arranged this way that each and every member state of EU breaks even their accounts? I don't want my Polish homeland to be anyone's recipient of funds, neither do I wish Poland to be someone else's benefactor. Last but not least, I will never agree that Polish government switches impromptu into the Euro currency without a nationwide referendum on this issue and I'm not the only one in Poland who thinks like this. Surely EU is not going to impose Euro on Polish society by force, is it? I'm going to wait for the introduction of some global currency; in the meantime zloty (PLN) is OK.
Can the UK survive outside of the €U, definitely. The UK could easily form a significant international alliance of English-speaking democracies, and India is thinking to revamp the Commonwealth:http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2011/07/05/could-india-co-lead-the-commonwealth/
As to the €mpire that the €U is trying to become, I would say that now is the time to put the brakes on and make the €U balance its books before it gets a penny from its member coffers. With its intention of raising its own taxes, those that run the €U are creating an 'United States of Europe' by the back door, and hoping no one will notice.
Continental Europe has been kept in check by NATO and the nuclear powers, the €U is politically driven bureaucracy, that is driving a wedge among allies, and one that has its origins of ideals in unwholesome philosophies.
So back to basics. Europe shares common cultural traits. From the Urales to the Iberian Peninsula, there are cultural traits that are unique to Europe and European nations. Undeniable. Furthermore the EU given all its flaws, has made something which would have been impossible 40 years ago which is a sense of union and a sense of a future. Without it, a third european war would have probably already have occured.
Furthermore integration between europeans is a given these days. You cannot think of Academia, Science, Technology, Industries etc. in Europe that are not pan-European projects. Taking this away from Europeans would be a major set-back and would probably wreck R&D in Europe for the next 5-10 years.
The World does have its UN. Europe (which by the way IS an artifical construct) as geologically we are one continent with Asia, Eurasia, has always declared itself different. And even if ever since the Germanic invasions that tore apart the western roman empire and divided it into smaller realms (although united under the papacy) it doesn't mean that diplomatically, culturally, etyc. Europe hasn't been one single entity throughout its history.
...however nobody in the planet Earth has ambition to have Earth Union, exactly because of this diversity. Countries relate to each other more or less in a competitive fashion, someone gain is others loss.
What is really mission of the political (European) union is it an attempt of better security or a vision of economic equality without defining the benefits.
"I posted this before:
The Pythagoras theorem was written by 24 words
The Archimedes principle by 67 words
The 10 commandments by 179 words
The declaration of independence by 1300 words
The EU regulation of cabbage sale by 26911 words."
for as much as I admire elegance in theorems and principles. Yours is a very fallacious argument. Being verbose doesn't equate to being stupid or incompetent.
Marcel Proust's "In search of lost time" has 1.5 million words, in seven volumes, and is considered a masterpiece.
Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica has what seven tomes?
Your argument is therefore useless.
"You cannot pretend to have a harmony among poor countries and rich countries, between leftists and rightists, among different languages and you can go on and on."
well then basically planet Earth is unsustainable, because that's precisely what planet Earth is.
How delighful to read Charlemagne talking about the new EU budget and the announced new tax. More Europe... scared?
The new tax would bypass the neverending problem that is some nations feeling they give too much into it as well as appease the ones that think they deserve some of that money for their own projects.
Charlemagne also forgot to mention the new EU incentives to bailed-out countries I've mentioned in the past and that was deemed "impossible" by a certain blogger. Seems I wasn't so wrong afterall.
And with the no taxation without representation maxim I expect the European Parliament to finally start pulling its weight as it should.
British Europhobia is the sad result of years of misinformation by a hyper-competitive, muck-raking, populist press. That and some underlying misunderstandings fuelled by geography and the Second World War myth. But Britain has always been a part of Europe, and its scepticism can be a constructive voice in the EU (see this editorial). We Brits just need to let go of the idea that going it alone is still possible. It isn't, and I hope we don't have to find out the hard way.
When will the Eurocrats finally give up the folly of the E.U? The E.U. "constitution", which was actually a rambling five hundred page manifesto was soundly rejected by the voters and the Eurocrats decided to call it the Lisbon Treaty, so as to be able to cram it down the throats of the voters without allowing them a say in the matter. Had the Europeans not allowed themselves to be mollycoddled and led around by their elected officials for generations they would have demanded that this folly called the E.U. be abandoned long ago.
It does seem that this newspaper is only read by Britons, judging from the comments.
Now you no longer fancy belonging to the EU? Fine!
The Lisbon treaty includes clear provisions to leave the Union.
Do the right thing and please get out ASAP.
Your whining over an alleged European super-state and the alleged bent cucumbers regulatory fury (both tabloids' utter nonsense) is most unlikely to be missed.
The European project is about solidarity, a word inexistent in a British dictionary. No wonder you do not see the point.
Go back to discussing the wiles of Pippa and Kate, and let us sort out the Euro mess, please.
"Time to wish them well and bow out gracefully"
Indeed. Leaving gracefully is better than staying, sulking and spoiling the others' fun. But you'll be missed...

Surgery is usually reserved for severe cases of scoliosis with a degree of curvature over 40°-50°.
The goals of surgery are to:
Many types of techniques can be used for scoliosis. These techniques have some or all of the following in common:
Spinal fusion surgery involves joining together adjacent vertebrae to result in growth into one solid bone. This results in permanent restrictions on certain types of movement. The restriction depends on how many bones are fused together. Hardware is used to keep the spine in place while the bones fuse together.
This is one of the most common surgeries performed for scoliosis. This type of surgery is a posterior spinal fusion. A metal rod is attached to each side of the spine by using hooks attached to the vertebral bodies. The spine is then fused with a piece of bone from the hip area. The bone grows in between the vertebrae and holds them together and straight. The metal rods attached to the spine help the backbone remain straight while the spinal fusion takes place.
Small incisions are made for insertion of a thoracoscope and surgical instruments. Thoracoscopic surgery is less invasive, but in some studies surgery and recovery times appear to be longer than conventional surgery. Although there are some benefits to this type of surgery, serious post-surgical complications are possible. If this surgical procedure is an option for your child, be sure to weigh out all the options with the doctor.
Non-fusion surgical procedures are designed to help the curve correct itself over time. These procedures do not restrict movement once the spine has healed. Some of these are somewhat new procedures, and may not be available everywhere.

See Ane Brun's Smoky 'One' Video
Ane Brun's new album, It All Starts With One, finally arrives in the U.S. today, and judging by the video for tumultuous near-title track "One," what comes next could be revolutionary. The Norwegian-born singer-songwriter's latest has already reached platinum status in her home country, but its forcefully sung, instrumentally nuanced piano-pop confections ought to find a receptive audience here where people seem to be finally coming around to the greatness of Fiona Apple (although they're still overlooking Swedish dynamo Jenny Wilson). As Brun's voice booms and flutters atop subtle orchestration, the video shows a motley cast of characters rushing out for "Act 2" of a stage production that sure looks like more than a mere play. "Revolution from dreams," Brun repeats, significantly.
It All Starts With One, for which Brun recently won the Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy, also features fleet-fingered Swedish-Argentine mystic José González and Americana-bewitched Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit. The album lands stateside in the wake of Brun's five-song Do You Remember digital EP, which includes covers of songs by Antony & the Johnsons, Built to Spill, and Mercedes Sosa. Following a U.S. tour last year supporting Peter Gabriel, Brun launches her own North American headlining tour tomorrow night with Gemma Ray.
Ane Brun tour dates:
5/02 – Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer
5/04 – Baltimore, MD @ Baltimore Soundstage
5/05 – Washington, DC @ The Hamilton
5/07 – New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
5/09 – Allston, MA @ Brighton Music Hall
5/10 – Toronto, ON @ Great Hall
5/12 – Montreal, QC @ Petit Campus
5/15 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Troubadour
5/17 – San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall
5/19 – Salt Lake City, UT @ The State Room
5/20 – Boulder, CO @ Fox Theater
5/22 – Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall

Email Personalization: 137% increase in open rate from personal note approach
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at a recent email marketing send to promote a MarketingSherpa webinar about social media, sponsored by Eloqua. I wanted to share it with you, because while it was quite simple to do, the results were pretty impressive.
Before we get into it, I want to stress that this was not intended to be a valid A/B split test (there is a validity threat that I'll get to in a moment), so take the results with a grain of salt. However, it is a good example of sending different versions of an email to different segments of a list. For that reason, this is a tactic we do think is worth trying...

The Twelfth Doctor is….. CRAIG FERGUSON!!!
By Kyle Anderson on February 16, 2011
Okay, not really, but if he were, this is what he would look like. This picture was done by Doctor Who artist for IDW Comics, Mr. Blair Shedd. He is the friggin master! Check out more of his artwork at his website ONEGEMINI. (All Rights Reserved on the picture, so please don't pirate it.)
He also needs the swearing rabbit to join them. FTW!
I would like to see Chris as the Master, but he's just too damn nice to be an evil despot. -
AHH! I love the monkey companion the most! LOL
Chris could do one of the Dalek voices
It's a great day for the universe, everybody!
Brilliant! Can someone at least get Craig a cameo on Doctor Who already????
What are you guys talking about?
Chris is RIGHT there. Notice the monkey's familiar quizzical brow arch.
You may be right LEE. I didn't even notice the brow arch. I just didn't assume that Chris could be the cheeky monkey.
But, I think we all can agree that Geoff Peterson would make the worst Cyberman ever.
Why can't it be a talking monkey voiced by Chris?
Oh this is amazing! I was just pondering last night 'how would Ferguson do as a Doctor…?'
I can't be the only person who thinks Twelfth Doctor!Craig looks a little like Pee-Wee Herman?
I would have thought Craig Ferguson as The Doctor would be dressed in more of a pastiche of outfits, but definitely with #4's scarf.
Also, Jimmy Fallon as The Master. And Robot Skeleton Geoff Peterson as K-9. And Betty White as either Sarah Jane or River Song.
I love it
This is just incredibly delightful.
Instead of a screeching parking brake, the TARDIS will now sound like the Secretariat music.
Intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism!!!
So happy for my buddy Blair! If you're going to GALLY, tell him "Ted says hi!"
The monkey should've been Geoff…
Sorry ADANT. I should've had the decency, or at least the presence of mind, to refer to you by name as the only one who mentioned anything about the conspicuous and troubling lack of Hardwick in this masterpiece. Tetrahydrocannibanol levels may have played a part in the perpetration of that crime of discourtesy.
This picture = a dream come true. If Craig were to play the Doctor, my life would honestly be complete. I would weep with joy!
I too have imagined Craig as the Doctor, he would be amazing.
Chris has over a million twitter followers how awesome and he's not as wierd as lady gaga. Lol
I'm new to Dr. Who but not to the LLS. Ya'll are the experts and I wouldn't want to run anyone out of a job. But. Man or man if CF was the 12th Dr. Who? I definately watch and I imagine so would alot of the RSA folks who might never have watched Dr. Who before.
CF for the next Dr. Who!!
Sid the cussing rabbit would make a better companion.
Although Geoff has to be part of the Doctor's crew as well.
In the same vein as the Second Doctor playing his recorder Ferguson's Doctor could play the mouth organ
Leave Geoff Peterson out all together–and add the Louisianna croc and the cussing rabbit as side kicks. Betty White would be wonderful– maybe she can teleport where she needs to be… And would the censors be involved? We need something other than "Ohlala" and other French words substituted for cursing. I'm sure Craig can be more creative…
This would be a dream come true-to have CF be Dr. Who! Of course Sid and Wavey and even Geoff would all have parts, too. I love this blog. Some of you guys are hilarious! Made my day. WooHoo! (no reflection on the kind of day I've been having
Craig as Doctor (and maybe Chris H. as companion) would be the most brilliant thing EVER.
Psssst. Yo ho ho. Would seem that Mr. Ferguson's contract is up for renewal. Hmmmm. Nothing would say fun like a bidding war between CBS late night and the folks at the BBC….

German telecom wants to create Germany-only Internet
Posted By Vamien McKalin On October 28, 2013 @ 7:45 AM In World Wide Web | 4 Comments
After the Edward Snowden leaks [2] that brought to light what the NSA is up to, many countries are now quite apprehensive towards the United States. Things have gotten so bad that a German telecom, Deutsche Telekom, is rallying other German communication networks to join forces to create a Germany-only Internet. This isn't the first time we've come across a similar plan. Recently, the Brazilian president claimed she wanted to move away from American Internet in favor of Europe.
While many folks who are against the America spying might see this move as a good thing, in reality, it isn't. You see; cutting off traffic from the United States would render social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and even Google search useless. It would also destroy the open nature of the Internet, along with sending several companies out of business. So yes, this isn't the correct move to make, but we can understand why Deutsche Telekom wants this to happen.
Furthermore, if other countries should follow suit with this plan, it could usher in a Balkanisation of the Internet.
Usually, control over Internet traffic is seen in countries such as China and Iran, and as you might have expected, using the Internet is not as fun as it can be in those countries. Good luck watching your nightly porn flicks in Iran, because that's never going to happen.
We as Internet users are not interested in being controlled and bogged down. So right now we'd prefer to see nations working together to quell the problem instead of creating separate a Internet, because that's nasty.

Happy Friday!! This week went by really quick. I think it's due to the fact that Monday was Labor Day and the majority of us didn't have work on Monday. I wish every week was like this. I really like looking forward to the weekend. Not that I have anything planned to do this weekend. Just to know that I can take some time and relax and get some errands and things done that I have been wanting to do all week and just didn't have time.
Yesterday our area got hit really bad by the torrential rainstorm. It was a million times worse than the hurricane! It was taking people 4 or 5 hours to get to work because of how bad the traffic was on the Turnpike. They even had an entire exit on the Turnpike closed due to flooding. It was really bad! Many people are without homes due to the flooding. I feel so bad. I especially feel bad for a co-worker of mine's sister. I used to work with her mom too until she retired last summer. Anyway, her sister completely lost everything in her house and her entire house. I feel just so awful! They didn't evacuate anyone in her area in time. I don't think anyone knew how bad this storm really was going to be. So my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by this storm! Stay strong!
On my way home from work, I picked up Melissa and we had plans to go to the Farmer's Market but obviously that didn't happen due to the storm. So we went to the supermarket. I guess, the next best thing. I had to get a few items that I needed for dinner that I was making last night. Melissa and I hung out for a while and just had a really good time talking. Of course I visited with Oliver too! Love him and his new short stylin' haircut! :)
After hanging out for a while, I ventured home and started on dinner for Mike and I. I watch Hungry Girl's tv show on the Food Network every week. Let me start off by saying that I am a not a big fan of hers. I don't like that she uses a lot of fake and artificial ingredients. Every once in a while I'll see a good idea from her emails or her tv show that I want to try. Her last episode that aired last weekend was one of those moments. Everything in the recipe were items that I would normally eat anyway and I thought they sounded good together. So I gave it a try.
Hungry Girl's BLT Mac 'n Cheese (original recipe)(*spinach plays the part of lettuce in the blt aspect of this dish)
Makes 4 Servings
4 1/2 oz. (about 1 1/2 cups) uncooked whole-wheat or high-fiber penne pasta (***I used Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta since I had it in my pantry)
2 – 3 yellow summer/crookneck squash (enough to yield 4 cups once cut up)
3 cups chopped spinach
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
4 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
2 slices fat-free cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1/4 cup precooked real crumbled bacon (**I used Butterball Turkey Bacon)
Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste
In a large pot on the stove, prepare pasta al dente (firm) according to the instructions on the package. Drain well, return to the pot, and cover to keep warm. Set aside.
While water comes to a boil and while pasta cooks, cut squash into pieces similar in size to the penne pasta, each about 2 inches long and half an inch thick.
Spray a large skillet (with a lid) with nonstick spray, and bring to medium heat on the stove. Add squash, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, occasionally uncovering to stir.
Add spinach and tomatoes to the skillet, re-cover, and continue to cook for about 1 minute. Remove cover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted, tomatoes are hot, and any excess liquid has cooked off, 2 – 4 minutes. If needed, drain excess liquid. Set aside.
Break cheese wedges and cheese slices into pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add sour cream and lightly stir to coat. Microwave for 30 seconds, and then stir thoroughly. Microwave for another 30 seconds, or until cheeses have fully melted. Mix until smooth.
Add cheese mixture, bacon, and cooked veggies to the pasta. Toss to coat. If needed, bring to desired temperature on the stove. If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve it up!
I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed this recipe! Not only was it made from normal food products that I would eat all the time despite the turkey bacon. I don't really eat that too often but I prefer that over regular bacon. It was quick and easy to make! The cheese sauce was absolutely delicious! I felt like I was eating a Philadelphia Cooking Creme recipe except the cooking creme part was healthy homemade sauce. I liked the cheese sauce a lot! I seriously cannot wait to add this recipe to a rotation! I liked that I didn't feel weighed down from the pasta. It had a good mixture of vegetables and pasta.
Like I said before, I am not a big fan of Hungry Girl but I do like when she posts recipes like these that contain real products that I would use on a daily basis. I am not a fan of most of the things that she preaches about. I watch her show and read her emails merely for the recipes that I myself would consider enjoying or preparing.
After dinner, Mike and I got ready to watch Big Brother! I can't believe the season finale is already next week! I'm getting nervous about the final two! I really want Rachel to win! I am keeping my fingers crossed that she wins she season and goes head to head with Adam. I cannot stand Porsche!
Alright, well while I'm waiting for the free Friday breakfast to be delivered, let me ask some questions.
What is your opinion of Hungry Girl? Do you like her? Would you make any of her recipes? What are you up to this weekend?
Have a good Friday! :)

The Snf1 protein kinase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown to have a role in regulating haploid invasive growth in response to glucose depletion. Cells contain three forms of the Snf1 kinase, each with a different beta-subunit isoform, either Gal83, Sip1, or Sip2. We present evidence that different Snf1 kinases play distinct roles in two aspects of invasive growth, namely, adherence to the agar substrate and filamentation. The Snf1-Gal83 form of the kinase is required for adherence, whereas either Snf1-Gal83 or Snf1-Sip2 is sufficient for filamentation. Genetic evidence indicates that Snf1-Gal83 affects adherence by antagonizing Nrg1- and Nrg2-mediated repression of the FLO11 flocculin and adhesin gene. In contrast, the mechanism(s) by which Snf1-Gal83 and Snf1-Sip2 affect filamentation is independent of FLO11. Thus, the Snf1 kinase regulates invasive growth by at least two distinct mechanisms.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The heat is not keeping kids off the playground, but it is heating up the equipment.
The Bear Creek playground was built back in 1988 and it is almost completely made of wood, but the slides are made of metal and the metal gets hot as the day progresses. Even during the evening, it's almost too hot to touch.
Earlier Tuesday afternoon kids were taking their chances and going down one of the slides that was partially shaded. But most of the kids, the brave souls that ventured out to the park in the mid-day heat, were sticking to the swings and other parts of the playground that was in the shade once the afternoon rolled around.
Pacific Domes manufactures playground domes made of steel, but they use a powdered paint that keeps the metal cool.
"This actually you could climb on it and if a child was to swing and hang down from it, it wouldn't burn their hands," explains CEO Asha Deliverance. "They would actually be able to hold on and actually it cools off as you hold on slightly, but it's basically the temperature of your skin."
Some of their domes also come with covers to keep kids out of the heat on hot, sunny summer days Newer playground equipment is also using the powdered paint to keep the metal from not getting too hot.

Arrow Exterminators Predicts another Banner Year for Ants, Cockroaches, Termites, Mosquitoes and Fleas
Pests have long been a threat to the quality of life we all enjoy due to their ability to transmit disease and cause significant damage to property and this year expects to be no different. Arrow Exterminators has prepared the following list of the top 5 pests likely to cause homeowners the most concern in 2012:
1. Ants: There are more than 700 different species of ants in the United States and this number actually grows each year at a rapid rate as new species are imported through travel and international commerce. Recent discoveries include the hairy (or Caribbean) crazy ant which continues to make its way northward and the odorous house ant. With so many types of ants to combat, it's important for homeowners to remember that each species must be treated uniquely. If ants are spotted in the home, a pest professional should be contacted immediately to prevent an infestation.
2. Cockroaches: Cockroaches carry up to 33 different kinds of bacteria and research has shown they can even trigger asthma attacks in children. Cockroaches also reproduce very quickly with the female able to lay up to 50 eggs at one time. So if an infestation is suspected, a pest professional should be contacted immediately.
3. Termites: It's not about if you will get termites in your home, but when, especially living in the South. Termites are voracious eaters, active year round and cause more than $5 billion in property damage each year - more than storms and fires combined - and the damage is most often not covered by homeowner's insurance. Homeowners should ensure they have a 24/7/365 termite protection plan for their home to safeguard their investment and have their property inspected annually by a licensed professional.
4. Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are a constant battle in the South from March through October. While they are most known for the red, itchy welts they leave behind on their victims, they can also transmit diseases such as West Nile Virus and Encephalitis. Only needing very small amounts of stagnant water to breed, Mosquitoes only take 7-10 days to develop from egg to adult. Homeowners can make small changes to their yard to help reduce the Mosquito population including removing all sources of standing water and cutting back unnecessary vegetation around the home.
5. Fleas: Flea populations are booming in households across the U.S. and not just in homes with pets. Fleas, a lot like bed bugs, have become increasingly resistant to common treatment methods allowing the breeding cycle to continue. Always on the lookout for a warm-blooded host to attack, family pets and humans are the perfect candidates. To keep help reduce the chances of fleas infesting the home, vacuum often and bathe furry friends frequently.

Galactic Velocities, Falling Toward Black Hole
Name: Joseph Status: student Grade: 9-12 Country: USA Date: Fall 2012
I comprehend that a circular black hole surrounding the universe (easy to say, hard to imagine) would not be a good model. I have talked to my son and I have been trying to get him to reply to you, but he is a little shy and in ninth grade. I guess the fairest thing is to ask you for help developing a model I am programming of his idea until observation rules it out (or validates it). In a nutshell, my son is trying to explain dark energy (which came along after I graduated in 1975) with a gigantic external directional gravitational gradient that permeates the entire observed universe. He attributes this external directional gravitational gradient to a very distant, huge, black hole. His idea is inspired by the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL-9) impact with Jupiter (a YouTube favorite), where the comet was drawn onto a sequence of fragments prior to entering Jupiter's atmosphere. When I went over the event with him I explained how a fragment in the middle of the series of fragments was accelerated at some average gravitational attraction, while a fragment just a little closer to Jupiter was experiencing a somewhat greater attractive gravitational force, and one further away from Jupiter a somewhat lesser attractive force, and over time the sum of these differences results in the comet being "smeared". From this he worked out that an observer on the fragment in the middle of the smear of fragments would see the leading fragments drawing away and also would see the trailing fragments being drawn away. Hence to this observer, the smear of SL-9 fragments would appear to be accelerating away. So what he is asking is if the entire known universe could be in an external gravitational gradient (off to the side somewhere) and the small difference in gravitational attraction across the vast distances of the universe is that is what is giving the impression of an internally powered expanding universe (comparing the universe expanding away in all directions to the observer sitting mid-smear on SL-9). I started to work with him to build a model of such a universe, discussing what the observations would be, and teaching him bits of programming along the way. I only included Newtonian physics and, needless to say, the Newtonian model of the universe resulted in a smear of galaxies. My son asserts that if we included relativistic corrections into the model, his model would fit observation. I do not recall how to how to work through building relativity into the model, nor have I been able to work it out from web sources. On the surface, I cannot just toss out his model: If you assumed a recession speed of 30,000KM/sec, accumulated over 13 billion years for some galaxy, the galaxy has been accelerating away at an average acceleration of about 10**-12 KM/sec*sec. This does not seem like an impossible number. This can be modeled by assigning a gradient with minus 10**-12 KM/sec*sec on one edge of a cube, zero for the gradient in the middle (where the observer is), and plus 10**-12 KM/sec*sec at the other edge of the cube, leaving the four edges of the cube perpendicular to the gravitational gradient zero, and interpolating over the cube for all points inside, which, using Newton's physics, results in a SL-9 like smear for the model for the observed universe. To pose a problem I can work out with my son: Two points are separated by a light year and are both traveling in the same direction and velocity. Taking the direction of travel as a bearing of zero, the two points would have initial bearings of 90 and 270 respectively. Over the course of a year they both accelerated, in the direction of their travel, to half the speed of light. Where would they appear to be relative to each other? So far as I understand it, a year later, traveling .5 c faster, the bearings would be 104 and 284, since the received light as emitted a year ago and the acceleration has carried both .25 of a light year. The two points would also be red shifted with respect to each other. If you can tell me what errors I have made, I can then correct the model of my son's hypothesized universe. This result qualitatively fits my son's expectation (Newton gives a zero red shift), but I am not sure if I am accounting for relativistic corrections properly. Once the model is corrected for relativity, we can test his model against the observed speeds of recession.
You have a number of issues that I am not sure whether or not you have taken into account. First, Newton's law of gravity applies to the effect of all bodies with respect to all other bodies (in the Universe). The simplification only occurs when, for example, two bodies are closer or larger than all the other pairs of bodies in the Universe. For example, in the case of the Earth, Moon, and Sun we have an isolated three body (almost). But careful observations have revealed small perturbations due to Mars, and I believe Jupiter. In the case of the SL-9 impact with Jupiter the simple calculation refers to the net effect of the center of mass of Jupiter and the center of mass of the collection of the comet fragments. That remains conserved even if the contributions of the various fragments may change.
Your son's assertion that including relativity would "fix everything up" cannot be accepted without proof. You have also assumed some speeds, e.g. 30,000 KM/sec, but do not specify with respect to what.
Finally, you need to explain and quantify what dark energy (which came along after I graduated in 1975) with a gigantic external directional gravitational gradient that permeates the entire observed universe. He attributes this external directional gravitational gradient to a very distant, huge, black hole. How such a black hole "explains" dark energy? I am not sure I see the connection.\

One year I volunteered at SIGGRAPH in the SIGKIDS area, where the children of conference participants get to spend the week playing with equipment donated by vendors.
I wrote a particle system simulator called Cascade. The user arranges rectangular blocks on the screen and water bounces off of them.
This idea was originally suggested to me by Thad Beier.
I came up with a natural way of moving the blocks that's just like pushing real blocks around with one finger. Rotation and translation are combined into one action.
Cascade ran across the Internet, so children in different cities could share the same set of blocks and type messages to each other. Only the block positions were relayed across the network. This reduced the bandwidth needs significantly.

Serotonin transporter binding with [123I]β-CIT SPECT in major depressive disorder versus controls: effect of season and gender

The serotonin system is undoubtedly involved in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD). More specifically the serotonin transporter (SERT) serves as a major target for antidepressant drugs. There are conflicting results about SERT availability in depressed patients versus healthy controls. We aimed to measure SERT availability and study the effects of age, gender and season of scanning in MDD patients in comparison to healthy controls.
We included 49 depressed outpatients (mean±SD 42.3 ± 8.3 years) with a Hamilton depression rating scale score above 18, who were drug-naive or drug-free for ≥4 weeks, and 49 healthy controls matched for age (±2 years) and sex. Subjects were scanned with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using [123I]β-CIT. SERT availability was expressed as specific to nonspecific binding ratios (BPND) in the midbrain and diencephalon with cerebellar binding as a reference.
In crude comparisons between patients and controls, we found no significant differences in midbrain or diencephalon SERT availability. In subgroup analyses, depressed males had numerically lower midbrain SERT availability than controls, whereas among women SERT availability was not different (significant diagnosis×gender interaction; p = 0.048). In the diencephalon we found a comparable diagnosis×gender interaction (p = 0.002) and an additional smoking×gender (p = 0.036) interaction. In the midbrain the season of scanning showed a significant main effect (p = 0.018) with higher SERT availability in winter.
Differences in SERT availability in the midbrain and diencephalon in MDD patients compared with healthy subjects are affected by gender. The season of scanning is a covariate in the midbrain. The diagnosis×gender and gender×smoking interactions in SERT availability should be considered in future studies of the pathogenesis of MDD.
