Hi Pam thanks for the comment, you can activate safety mode on YouTube, but unless people rank their own video with swearing within ect…it might now work…but it might help…try setting this up http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=174084 and let me know how you go, Im interested to see if it works!
Hi Kim, at 8 years old he should either play single player, or only be on a private Server. He is far too young for the public servers. Some kids are clever enough to set up private servers, but be sure that they are only inviting players their own age that they know in real life. This will take some supervision on your part, you might be best sitting with him whilst he plays so that you know what its all about. I actually made an account for myself and got my boys to show me around so I knew how it worked.
Let me know how you go.
i don't know.. i get kind of creeped out watching somebody build things to destroy them, i.e. hiding TNT in places and then watching things blow up. some things seem harmless. got a little freaked out yesterday when the date on a post blow up thing showed as 9/11. Maybe I'm senstive to the freaky stuff going on, but left me a bit uneasy.
Thanks for your comment Stacy, the solution is to play as single player or on a private server then you have control over what happens. Creative mode is great!
Go to http://www.muttsworldmine.com for a nice safe family friendly group of servers.
Dear Upset Parent. I sympathise with how hard it is sometimes for us as parents to get our kids to do what is best for them. Your challenge is to restrict her use. My kids arn't allowed to play games in the morning at all, or for that matter during the week. What works for one child won't work for another. You need to find in your own way how to moderate her use. It's easier to find solutions when they are young rather than later in life. Give rewards for good behaviour and take away the computer for when she is not complying. You will have a fight on your hands until she knows you mean business if you can be consistent every time. Been there done that…oldest son is 29! and had also quite an addiction to all sorts of games. Best of luck with it.
Thankyou Jesse for your comment, that is very helpful. I do think kids having their own server is the best option.
Right now it appears like Drupal is the top blogging platform
available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using
on your blog?
I'm using WordPress. Drupal is very popular for sure
Parents are concerned about where their kids are going online and so they should be. It's better to be sure you know the online environment is safe for your kids, and to be close by if your child needs help. There are both good and bad folks online,hard to tell which is which!
Ok i just googled COPPA, Privacy is the only word i needed.
Its simple common sence not to give away details, howver thanks when i go on my tekkit server ill put keep real life details private as a rule…
Also having read ^his response I have to agree,who cares if you meet a "bad folk" if he ennoys you just ignore him or troll him or something.
Does it realy matter?
Its pixels on a screen,
Hi Corporal, glad you googled it If you meet "bad folk" ignore and block is always the best, trolling them only gives them more ammunition to hit you back with, they live for a response! Don't give it and they get bored and go try to Troll someone else. The problem is that "Bad Folk" can be a mature man pretending to be a kid, who then be friends someone not as savvy as you, and then the kid gets taken advantage of. The things that can go wrong when adults connect with children or even young Teens online is well documented. There have been many many cases of kids who have been hurt or killed in real life by someone they get stalked by or arrange to meet in real life, that they thought was the same age as them because they were online in an unmoderated adult community, Facebook being one of them. It's simply just NOT worth the risk Corporal, if one child or Teen gets hurt or killed because kids are allowed to mix with adults. Stay safe Corporal, be sure to talk to your parents or another trusted adult if you need any help what so ever with the online world. Ask your parents to read this blog, see what they think? best wishes Leonie
"My kids arn't allowed to play games in the morning at all, or for that matter during the week."
Thats a little harsh?
No offence
Different Families have different rules depending on the individual needs of their kids. Having already brought up 2 kids, who are now 29 and 27 and remembering how hard it was to get them off the computer or T.V just to get to school in the mornings, the no TV in the mornings rule just works. Also, Gaming during the week would deter my kids from going outside playing with friends, or doing homework. Where we live in Australia it's beautiful weather and light right now till 8pm!!! not like England where its cold and dark Both my kids do pretty well at school and they still get to go online after school but just not gaming, which can get really addictive. That works for us.
As in simulation game? Phone sim? Sims 3?
Cheeky I meant create your own World or Server…got my games mixed up
Sarah you can contact the owner of the server or look into a differs t server for him which hasn't got private messages etc.
Also I think heroine was an exude to be aloud to play on a server. The HEROBRINE does not exist and people get a HEROBRINE e skin and pretend to be it
I want to thank you for your detailed reply Leonie, I wish I had posted here a while ago and thanks 'herobrine' u have been very helpful.
I feel stupid for not researching this before and assuming this was a kids game, anyway…..I've now banned this game and feel relieved about it. I will not be letting myself be fooled by a child anymore! I figured I was fairly young and slightely computer savvy but now realise I'm not! All games will now be vetted. I was happy with him to play this until he started playing on these servers. He says he wants to play again when 13! But hopefully he will have forgotten about this game by then!
Thanks again
woops forgot the
Do you realy have to make that post that many times?
And you didnt even make your statement clear!
-enraged huff-
That was all spam, they put a link in there comment to whatever they are selling, getting a LOT of that lately all deleted.
Not true leonine
You can hack skype
There is software which hacks Ips using Skype and theres some clever software that allows you to track info
Thanks Herobrine, True if you have a computer you are at a risk of something being Hacked, but in general the average person using Skype can't see your whereabouts and IP addresses only give a general location.
I have the perfect punishment for a teen who needs an effective and applicable punishment for abusing the computer and/or lying to his parents about computer use. It might be a good thing to explain that I don't have a problem with my son playing Mind Craft. What I have a problem with is his being addicted to it and lying about his time on the game or other abuses using the computer. Starting tonight, if I catch him in a lie or other abuse of the computer I will restore his laptop back 1 week and delete all restore points beyond that restore date; thus effectively wiping out all his work on the game for 1 full week. That should send a big message to him that if he wants to keep his work, he better follow the rules and not lie.
Yikes! We just have a Game time, time table. If they go over then the time over is taken off the next session. But hey what ever works for your family
Doug he can copy the world and hide it in a folder so unless you completely wipe the laptop it won't work
In some private servers there are rules, as no griefing ((Perma-ban)) or no saying "the words" ((i are avoiding them. 3 days of ban 3 times, more and you are perma-banned))
The moderators aren´t that hard to found, in the chat you can advise them. And no, i din´t had to complain about anything
All good to know!
Firstly there's no such thing as the Herobrine, however mojang made an account Herobrine as a joke. Some people say there was a coding eror which probably means that a zombie got a Steve skin with white eyes because on the game there used to be a "Dark Steve" with white eyes.
Secondly, What's to be scared of? And anyway all of my friends have played for ages and there's no such thing
He's not real and never has been.
Ps: You may get mods or see him on multiplayer as the server command /nick on easy essentials allows you to obtain any name while on that server. There are Also Herobrine mods and server plugins which spawns a Herobrine mob.
I have been killed by Herobrine on my friends server because he had a command that allowed him to kill mr in away were I came up on chat that I was struck down by it.
-Rory_h (11) Hope I helped
You need to set some limits. Use rewards and consequences. Set her a timetable for game play.
I agree with setting limits. Ask yourself what else you would like her to be doing. Is she avoiding friends and invites to go do something fun? My sons friends are all starting to "date" at 12 and 13 and all they want to do is walk the malls with their girlfriends or lay around watching tv. Some are starting to experiment. It's those times I'm glad my son is gaming!!
I apologize for the delay in responding to your post. We did as you suggested and helped him build his own server and he now plays only with those he invites. Thank you so much for the link, I don't think I would ever have found it on my own!
Thats Brilliant Elizabeth! How difficult was it to set up?
Thanks for the helpful tips! My son is turning 9 next month and I've been trying to decide if i want him to get this game or not. Single player seems to be the way to go. Since we're overseas living in a small town, non English-speaking environment, I'm not even sure if any of his friends play this game or not.
Yes definitely single player, thats safest for sure.
Concerned Mum I'm totally with you on this one. Lately there have been some conversations around teachers being on social media with their students, and I'm definitely not comfortable with that. Why? because social media and online gaming can be one to one with no supervision, and my son had an issue with a school employee approaching him online. I think its breaking boundaries and I find it difficult to believe that the teacher is allowed to meet his students online after hours. I wish it were not so, that our kids would have to be wary of their own teacher online…but sadly history teaches us, that those that we trust the most can be our greatest betrayers. And only open class rooms is safe for our children. Your daughter's teacher might have the purest intentions, but a child playing online with an adult is NOT supervised. I would advise you to not allow your daughter to continue. I'm surprised your daughters school allows a teacher to "play" with his students outside of school hours, thats not usually allowed. These are new days, and so much in technology is catching us unawares, rules and boundaries not set before we are challenged to face them. I think you need to take your concerns further while ensuring that the teacher is protected, he hasn't done anything wrong…but it's not safe for the teacher or his students to continue to do this. The teacher is putting himself in a vulnerable position where he might be accused of something he didn't intend simply because he is fraternising with students out of school. I hope this helps.
Hello and I'm a 12 year old girl thinking of joining MC. I play a lot of games but I try to limit myself because I know that if I'm on for hours each day I'll get addicted. My parents let me go on the computer for as long as I like, as long as my homework is done (we have a few hours each night of it), my room is tidy and I've ate something. When I go on I play a viarity (I spelt that wrong) of different games so I don't get hooked on a certain game. A few days ago I have being playing the mc demo and after a lot of contemplation I had come to the conclusion that I liked the game. Now I am highly picky on the type of games I like to play because if I play a game I want to make sure it's good.
My main concern is the public server. I live in a neighborhood (spelt that wrong also) where I'm the only child living on the street so a public server would be the server I'd have to do on. I know I could play by myself but I like communicating with people otherwise I would feel very bored. Reading the comments I am worried about the language I'd be expecting on a public server. I can ignore it but I don't like the feeling of doing what I do best while such obscene language is being said. Does any of you have any servers I could join that are child friendly? (I wouldn't be joining just yet I need to ask my parents for a membership).
Another thing you can do is when you are on the server you can go onto multiplayer settings and change the multiplayer chat to commands only.
Well thank you ^^! Yeah you're right. But at the school I go to MC? Pfft, you even mention it and you're the brand new geek. Only 1 person in the whole school plays it (in our class) and she gets bullied often. I would play with her but she only goes on single player mode.
It really disappoints me how so many adults take advantage of children in very wrong ways. I definitely wouldn't like griefing also!
I guess I'm stuck right now. I could make my own server but I'd be the only one playing on it sadly. I guess it's single player for me, so I better just play the free version.
Thanks Lucinda, I'd really like to see kid safe servers that were proven to be safe,
No public server is entirely safe, because adults can pretend to be kids, and kids can gang up on you, if they are not close friends offline with you.
My son plays the game and I have found mods to be very easy to install! The programming isn't unsafe whatsoever.
Only mods and texture packs (downloadable content) contain content possibly harmful for your PC but main stream mods like tekkit if you get them from the official downloads there safe.
Servers cannot damage your pc however it can trace your ip like Skype which is a rough idea of whee you live ( a few miles)
Elizabeth, there are safe servers out there but they are hard to find. My 13 year old just created one and his group of friends are well behaved. No foul language, no griefing, etc. I remember my sons frustration as older players were destroying his stuff and killing his player.
Just updating my comment software they will be back soon!
Watch out for any mods you download, be sure they are from respected sources
Great school!
Your approach is like mine WonderKidsMom, every kids is different, and for children who might otherwise be marginalised and isolated computers and gaming are wonderful. It can be a very lonely time for kids that fall outside the social circles. Balance is everything.

Career Consequences of Flexible Work Arrangements: The Daddy Track
By Elizabeth Dreike Almer and Louise E. Single
Can companies take what they have learned about female workers using flexible work arrangements and apply it equally to men? Research has shown that FWAs improve the retention and job satisfaction of female professionals. But if employers want to more fully reap the benefits of FWAs by also making them attractive to men, they should be aware that men's experience of FWAs, and coworkers' perceptions of male FWA participants, are different.
With the sponsorship of the AICPA, the authors have conducted research on the organizational and individual factors influencing participation in FWAs, and on how participation in a FWA can negatively affect peers' and superiors' perceptions of FWA professionals. This research included responses from over 400 public accounting professionals from one international, two national, and one regional public accounting firm. The results of these two studies highlighted an important fact: FWAs are not equal for men and women.
Sharing the Workload
There seems to be agreement that women still tend to carry the bulk of childcare responsibilities. Working women are more likely to seek accommodations in their schedules. Nonetheless, our research suggests that men are no longer "just going off to work" and leaving behind all the domestic juggling at home. In response to our question about what factors affect the career progression of male and female audit managers balancing work and family under traditional and flexible schedules, one male respondent asked, "Why is it always the woman who is expected to alter her schedule?" Supporting the assertion that men today in dual-income families are expected to share more equally in family responsibilities, a large number of respondents indicated that "burnout" and the inability to juggle work and family was a potential problem for both male and female audit managers. Yet, in an acknowledgement of the difficulties men face, one married male respondent said a male audit manager with children and a working spouse but no FWA "is a time bomb … Either he will leave, work less, or end up getting divorced." But how viable a choice is a FWA for men wanting to stay in a challenging career while carving out more time for their families?
Workplace Perception and Career Advancement
The research clearly indicates different attitudes toward men and women that choose a FWA. When asked about a hypothetical male and female audit manager on a FWA, comments indicated that FWAs carry a professional stigma four times higher for a male manager than a female manager. Specific comments made about the male FWA audit manager included: "stigma of male being committed to child- rearing/domestic issues," "individuals who made partner under a regime of 2,700–3,000 hours annually are very unlikely to promote [a male] who works less," and "[the male manager] should find satisfaction as a career senior manager." On the other hand, many of the responses to the hypothetical female manager's description cited "participation in the firm's work/family balance program" as a positive or career-enhancing move. These responses indicate gender differences in the acceptability of using a FWA that extend even to expectations about what makes "good partner material." These differences may be partly attributable to the way FWAs have made firms' culture more accepting of women staying on the partner track while making concessions to family.
A 2000 Department of Labor survey of men and paternity leave showed that 42.6% of men cited "fear of hurting career advancement" as the number one reason for forgoing the opportunity to take available paternity leave. The authors' research bears out that this fear may be based more on perception than on reality. In the attitudes of peers toward hypothetical male and female managers, males on FWAs were judged least likely to advance to partner and most likely to leave the firm as compared to female FWA managers and all managers on a regular work arrangement. When respondents were asked questions about issues related to the "importance of career to the individual," however, there were no significant differences by gender. One way to interpret this response is that men and women believe equally in the importance of their careers, but males were more aware that FWAs cause peers to believe they are less committed to their career. Reflecting this concern, one respondent said, "Men in my firm who do any minor flex-time are very quiet about it."
One crucial reason that men may have greater concerns about the negative consequences of FWAs could be their perceptions of support from coworkers and clients. One respondent commenting on the male manager using a FWA said that peers believe "flex-timers don't put career first in their life, and are not as serious about succeeding."
A series of questions was asked about the likelihood of support for FWA participation from various work related sources. Males anticipate significantly less support from clients, peers, and superiors, as shown by Exhibit 1.
Spousal Support
The study found that men that have adopted or are likely to adopt a FWA were also much more prone to believe that their wives would be supportive of a FWA. Fifty-five percent of men in the study that reported being likely to adopt a FWA said that spousal support is very important to them, whereas only 39% of men unlikely to adopt a FWA indicated that spousal support was important to them. In response to the question "What factors are most likely to enhance the male FWA manager's career?" one male respondent answered simply, "Spousal support." Another male, responding to the question "What factors are most likely to hinder the male FWA manager's career progression?" said, "His spouse's inflexible job if more children are planned."
This stands in marked contrast to female respondents. There was no difference in spousal support for female respondents, regardless of how likely they were to adopt a FWA. The difference may be the result of cultural biases, which assume that men will always support a wife's decision to make career concessions for family reasons, whereas the reverse may not be true.
Although males and females do not differ in their attitudes about the importance of networking and having high-profile clients, male respondents viewed the prospect of having work reassigned to peers and slowing career progression in a significantly more negative light than did female respondents (Exhibit 2). They also indicated that FWA participation would likely lead to less desirable work assignments and fewer networking opportunities.
A small number of respondents had been or were currently on a FWA; 31% of this group was male. To understand what makes these male FWA adopters unique, the survey asked what factors influenced that decision. As compared to other men and to female FWA adopters, male FWA adopters believed more strongly that a FWA would actually have the desired outcome of allowing more time with their families. Perhaps more relevant, these men also believed more strongly that their clients, as well as the quality and availability of coworkers, facilitated adoption of a FWA.
Making FWAs More Male-Friendly
Overall, the findings suggest that gender differences need to be carefully addressed in structuring and promoting successful FWAs. Because men have more fear of losing peer and client support and consequently slowing career development, employers need to address these issues directly. First, it seems undeniable that a FWA can slow down the path to partner. It would be unreasonable to expect to cut back on one's work by 30% and still be promoted in the same time as a peer who has not cut back. Currently, firms encourage individual employees to work out FWAs with their superiors on a case-by-case basis to meet the needs of both the firm and the employee. There is no question that each case has unique features due to differences in employee needs and the needs of the particular clients and office served by that employee. Each particular arrangement may require follow-up to determine how it is affecting the employee in terms of evaluation for promotion. One respondent commented that a "lack of practice development effort and ability to administer a team while out of the office will hinder [a male FWA participant's] path to partner if no future schedule change is made."
A formalized follow-up evaluation, with the employee, his superior, and another, objective party (e.g., a human resources representative), could be geared toward ensuring that the employee is focusing on the areas that will lead to the most rapid promotion track. A respondent commented, "Working a flex-time schedule will slow down [a male FWA participant's] progression because he doesn't have the time to bring in new business or perfect presentation/selling skills which are a distinction between partner and manager." This evaluation could ascertain whether the employee is being overlooked for desired high-profile assignments or is forgoing too much practice development activity, and address these issues so that career progress is not sacrificed unnecessarily.
The most intriguing finding of the research is that participation in a FWA is perceived to have long-term consequences for men by slowing career advancement because of reduced time to network and the likelihood of losing out on high-profile assignments. FWA participation does not, however, affect perceptions of males' commitment to the firm or their desirability on a future engagement. In other words, it does not appear to affect men's short-term desirability as a coworker.
One might conclude that the perceived gap between FWA males and females in "likelihood of advancement" may be a short-term situation, which will change with an increase in successful role models. Because males participating in FWAs are viewed as reliable and desirable coworkers, their challenge is to stay with a firm long enough to outlast the perception that they are just a short-term player.

Will This Ratings Upgrade Help Time Warner Cable (TWC) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC - Get Report) was upgraded to "buy" from "hold" at Wunderlich Securities on Monday.
The firm said it raised its rating on the cable company based on its belief the Timer Warner, Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report) merger will receive regulatory approval, which will help improve the company's business practices.
Wunderlich upped its price target on Time Warner Cable to $190 from $146.

Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates TIME WARNER CABLE INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate TIME WARNER CABLE INC (TWC) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income, revenue growth, growth in earnings per share and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 26.86% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 27.88% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, TWC should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Media industry average. The net income increased by 19.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $401.00 million to $479.00 million.
- TWC's revenue growth trails the industry average of 12.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- TIME WARNER CABLE INC has improved earnings per share by 26.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TIME WARNER CABLE INC reported lower earnings of $6.71 versus $6.91 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($7.76 versus $6.71).
- 35.47% is the gross profit margin for TIME WARNER CABLE INC which we consider to be strong. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 8.58% trails the industry average.

Now in his ninth year with YES, former major league pitcher Al Leiter has established himself as a highly regarded color commentator who provides viewers with insight gained from his 19 years as an MLB player. Leiter is also an analyst for the MLB Network, and was nominated for National Emmy Awards in 2010 and 2012 for his work there. Prior to signing with YES in the spring of 2006, Leiter had worked as a post-season game analyst for FOX Sports and ESPN.
The YES Network is the exclusive television home of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Nets. YES, which has earned 346 Emmy Award nominations and 80 Emmy Awards since its March 2002 launch, also televises original biography, studio and magazine programs, in addition to college sports.
Leiter is a native of Bayville, N.J. While in high school there, he was a baseball All-American and in appeared in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" after striking out 32 batters in 14.1 innings in a game. He was drafted by the New York Yankees in 1984 and made his major league debut with the team in September 1987. Throughout his career, he played for the Yankees, 1987-89, and 2005; Toronto Blue Jays, 1989-95; Florida Marlins, 1996-97, and 2005; and New York Mets, 1998-2004.
A day after the Yankees acquired him from the Marlins in July of 2005, Leiter took the mound and got the win in a 5-3 victory over Boston. He picked up four wins for the Yankees during the second half of the 2005 season and made a team-high four appearances in the 2005 Division Series against the Angels, going 1-0.
He won World Series rings with the Blue Jays (1993) and the Marlins (2000). Over his career, he went 162-132 and sported a lifetime ERA of 3.80. He was named a National League All-Star in 1996 and 2000 and was the first pitcher to earn a victory against all 30 major league teams. On May 11, 1996, Leiter threw a no-hitter for the Marlins against the Rockies. It was the first no-hitter by a Marlins pitcher in franchise history.
Leiter has been extremely active with and has received numerous awards for his charitable work throughout his career in and after baseball. He has given more than $1.5 million since 1996 to various children-related charities in the New York area and in south Florida. Leiter was the recipient of the Branch Rickey Award in 1999, the Roberto Clemente Award in 2000, and the Bart Giamatti Award in 2002, all demonstrating his tremendous commitment to community.
In 2002, he was appointed to the board of directors of the Twin Towers Fund in New York City. Leiter was named the March of Dimes Sportsman of the Year in 2003 and the John V. Mara Sportsman of the Year in 2004 (by the Catholic Youth Organization). In October of 2008, Leiter was honored with the "Breakthrough Spirit Award" at The Children's Cancer and Blood Foundation gala in New York. In January 2012, Leiter was inducted into the New Jersey Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame.
He was also appointed in 2010 by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to the New Jersey Hall of Fame Advisory Commission, and Governor Christie also placed Leiter on the board of the New Jersey Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund in 2012.
Leiter also created and runs Leiters Landing, a charitable organization committed to the betterment of youth through education, health care and social and community service which also serves as a fundraising arm to assist other children's charities.
He was master of ceremonies at New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first induction ceremony at City Hall in 2002.

Materials Science and Technology Celebrating 25 years of publishing in 2010 To find out more about Materials Science and Technology, take out a subscription, or submit a paper, please visit the journal web-page here. |
Meet the Editor... John Knott, Editor of Materials 'Welcome to all readers! My name is John Knott, and I have been Editor of MST since the beginning of 2003. The aim of this article is to tell you something about myself and of the connections that I have had with the Institute's journals and other publications over what is now a period of more than fifty years, during which time what were more nationally focused, 'institutional' publications have evolved into the international journals you see today. I was an undergraduate at the University of Sheffield from 1956 to 1959, and then went to Cambridge University to carry out PhD research on the notch-brittleness of mild steel, under the supervision of Sir Alan Cottrell. At this time, there were three separate Institutions: The Iron and Steel Institute (ISI: self-explanatory), The Institute of Metals (IOM: non-ferrous) and the Institution of Metallurgists (professional). I started subscribing to the Journal of the Institute of Metals (JIM) in 1957, as a second-year undergraduate, and to the Journal of the Iron and Steel Institute (JISI) a year later. I left Cambridge in 1962, to join the Central Electricity Research Laboratories (CERL) at Leatherhead as a Research Officer, and a year or two afterwards, I became an Associate Member of the Institution of Metallurgists (AIM) and started receiving its journal: The Metallurgist. During this period, I had some half-dozen papers published in JISI, on various aspects of brittle fracture in steel, and early research on fracture mechanics. In 1967, I returned to Cambridge to take up a Lectureship, and, later that year, I was elected as Goldsmiths' Fellow in Metallurgy at Churchill College. I was fortunate to attract a number of extremely talented research students to carry out research under my supervision in the general area of micro-mechanical aspects of fracture and sub-critical crack growth in engineering alloys. Many of these have gone on to achieve Academic Chairs in the UK and elsewhere; FREng or equivalent membership of National Academies; leading positions in research laboratories and industry. The 'buzz' that we enjoyed during the 1970s and 1980s was extremely stimulating and a great amount of excellent, and, I like to think, industrially relevant, research was carried out. In 1973, Richard Dolby and I won the Pfeil prize for a paper on the fracture of heat-affected-zone microstructures in a weldable, structural steel (published in JISI). The same year, ISI and IOM merged, to form The Metals Society. I joined the Science of Metals and Alloys sub-Group (under the Chairmanship of Professor Ray Smallman) and also became a member of the Editorial Panel for Metal Science (MS), which had started life as Metal Science Journal in 1967. My research group published strongly in MS, and I have listed some of these papers in my January 2010 Editorial for MST. Although my book Fundamentals of fracture mechanics was published by Butterworths in 1973, a follow-up, co-authored with David Elliott, Worked examples in fracture mechanics, was published by the Institution of Metallurgists in 1979 (revised with Paul Withey and republished in 1993 as Fracture mechanics – worked examples. In 1978, I was awarded the Rosenhain Medal, and in 1981, I was made Reader in Mechanical Metallurgy. At the time, such appointments in Cambridge were really rather special, and I felt this to be, not only a personal honour, but also a reflection of the internationally recognised, research my group had produced over the preceding decade. I wish to say something also about Churchill College. Founded as the national memorial to Sir Winston, it has a defined bias towards science and engineering (a '70:30' ratio) and has a scheme to attract eminent scientists and engineers from abroad to come for a year as an overseas fellow. Names from the USA, for example, include Bruce Chalmers, Merton Flemings, Charles McMahon, and Jim Rice. Jim's year of residence, at a time when Rob Ritchie was a PhD student in Churchill, led a year or so later to the publication (in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, I fear) of the Ritchie/Knott/Rice (RKR) model for fracture toughness. The opportunities to discuss issues, not only with Cambridge fellows in other science/engineering disciplines, but also with overseas fellows, made the College a very special place. It was also an ambience in which students and fellows mixed freely. If my count is correct, 21 of my 52 Cambridge PhD students were members of Churchill. In 1988, I was appointed as Vice-Master. The Cambridge teaching and (college-based) supervision system has much to offer. |
I lectured on a wide variety of topics, including electron microscopy, the fabrication of semiconductor devices, and thermodynamics, in addition to my own field of mechanical properties and fracture. I also had to supervise topics on which I did not lecture: topics such as crystallography, ceramics, and polymers. This breadth is as good for the continuing education of teaching staff as it is for undergraduates. I had become a Fellow of the Institute of Materials (now FIMMM) in 1974 and of the Welding Institute in 1985, but the end of my time at Cambridge was marked by election to the fellowship of the Academy of Engineering (later to become 'Royal') in 1988 and to the Royal Society in 1990. At the beginning of 1990, I had been appointed as Professor and Head of the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham, and when news of the FRS came through in March, the Vice Chancellor (Michael Thompson) gave me a pay rise, even though I hadn't yet started! That start came in September 1990, and, for one month, I was simultaneously Head of School at Birmingham and Vice-Master of Churchill, since the new Cambridge Academic year did not get underway until October. Fortunately, there were no major conflicts of interest during this time. My welcome to the School was whole-hearted and the ethos was indistinguishable from that of the Cambridge Department that I had left. Birmingham's research record was strong, and we were awarded 5A/5A in the 1992 RAE (Research Assessment Exercise): one of only two units in any submission in any subject to obtain the 5 rating for both pure and applied research, with more than 90% staff participation in both areas. It may come as no surprise that the other unit was Cambridge Materials Science and Metallurgy! Again, in 1996, when I had just become Dean of Engineering, but remained as Head of School until the RAE submission, we hit the top rank, with a 5A rating (the 'pure/applied' division now having been removed) and have continued to do well under my successors. I was Dean from 1995 until 1998. Various descriptions of my subsequent position were proposed by my nearest and dearest colleagues: 'A has-been Dean'; 'A Dean without a Faculty'; 'A Rural Dean'. Both as Head of School and as Dean of Engineering, I insisted on maintaining my interests in both teaching and research. There were many things on my plate, but I still managed to supervise 20 Birmingham PhD/EngD students. The application of understanding to real engineering problems is what all this research is about. Metallurgy is an applied science, and we are, at last, beginning to view materials science in a similar light. When the great thrust towards 'materials science' began in the 1980s, there appeared to some of us to be a great deal of simplicity in what was being said, particularly when considering materials required to bear tensile loads: ceramic turbines and the like. The application of the development of fracture mechanics over the previous two decades was ignored, and a number of predictably non-viable ventures were pursued in the interests of 'novelty'. Nowadays, a more balanced view is taken, and realistic 'sums' are done to evaluate fitness for purpose. Enormous steps have been made in electrical, semiconducting, light-emitting, sensing and actuating systems, but, in the structures area, we are, by and large, still dealing with engineering alloys, although polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are, increasingly, becoming utilised in aerospace and wind-power. In this respect, I am extremely pleased that our Birmingham Metallurgy and Materials course still contains a high metallurgical content: this is what a lot of industry still values. We do not, of course, neglect our teaching in PMCs. Earlier, I referred to the 'hoped-for' industrial relevance of the research being carried out by my Cambridge research group, and, later, to the 'applied' aspect of metallurgy. Coming from CERL to Cambridge in 1967, I already had in my mind several projects that derived from practical problems in the electricity generating industry, but lent themselves to more detailed scientific investigation. Some funding for research students came from external sources: earlier on, the Ministry of Defence research establishments; British Steel; later, the Atomic Energy Authority, British Rail, Rolls-Royce, the CEGB Berkeley Laboratories. I also started to become personally involved with the issues faced by these bodies. In 1973, I was commissioned by MoD to carry out a survey of the assessment of the integrity of 'high duty' materials across all the research establishments; in 1974, I spent a period at the NPL (National Physical Laboratory), commenting on their research into mechanical properties; and, in 1978–80, I spent time each summer at the General Electric Research Laboratories in Schenectady, advising on their research in both aerospace materials and electrical power plant. I also spent a month in Japan in the autumn of 1980, as a JPS Fellow, visiting universities, NIMS, and various laboratories of Nippon Steel and other steel companies: Kobe Steel, Sumitomo, Nippon Kokan. |
At the end of the 1970s, I joined Walter Marshall's Study Group on the Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR). This produced reports in 1982 and again in 1987 (the 'Hirsch Appendix') giving reassurance on the safety aspects of what became the Sizewell B Reactor. Later, this Study Group 'morphed' into TAGSI (The Technical Advisory Group on Structural Integrity, which advises the Nuclear Industry, issues technical and annual reports, and has published a number papers in the open literature): a member since its inception, I became Chairman in March this year. From 1990 through to 2004, I served on the Nuclear Safety Advisory Committee, becoming Acting Chairman in 2003; I was awarded an OBE 'for services to nuclear safety' just before I stepped down. Since 2006, I have served on the Defence Nuclear Safety Committee. I am also a 'Senior Adviser' to FESI (the Forum for Engineering Structural Integrity): a body similar to TAGSI, but not specific to the nuclear industry. Another main involvement with industrial application over the last 25–30 years has been continuing membership of TWI's Research Board and its various committees, advising on the ways in which TWI's research programmes help its membership in a wide range of areas: from joining techniques, through materials specification, to engineering properties. Perhaps the most direct link with manufacturing industry, however, and one that has given me enormous pleasure as a result of the variety of technical issues encountered, is my ongoing involvement, since the late1980s, with Rolls-Royce. Starting as a member of a Board chaired by Sir Alan Cottrell, I was appointed in 2000 as Chair of what is now the Materials, Manufacturing and Structures Advisory Board, which, every year, addresses some half-dozen topics put forward by the company: spanning aerospace, energy systems, and marine; and encompassing design, manufacturing, materials properties, and durability. In addressing these topics, there is continually the feeling of being right at the 'cutting-edge': it is a really 'heady' feeling; and we work with the knowledge that our views are taken seriously by the company. What I have tried to convey, possibly at excessive length, in this article, is the tremendous excitement that I have experienced over the years, and continue to experience, from dealings with 'engineering alloys', and, more generally, for materials designed for engineering applications. I have also tried to convey this excitement to students, both postgraduate and undergraduate: teaching informed by research is what a University is all about. It is, of course, an added bonus that the research that I and my research group have carried out over the years has been recognised both in the UK and overseas. I have been awarded IOM3's Griffith Medal (1999) and Platinum Medal (2009), the Royal Society's Leverhulme Medal (2004), TWI's Brooker Medal and, by TMS, the Robert Franklin Mehl Award (2005). The University of Glasgow awarded me an Honorary DEng in 2004, and the University of Sheffield will present me with an Honorary DEng in July this year. I am Honorary Professor at Beihang University (1992) and at Xi'an Jiaotong University (1996) in China, a Foreign Associate of the Ukraine National Academy of Science (1994), a Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of Engineering (2003), a Foreign Member of the Japan Institute of Metals (2005) and a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (2006). These overseas awards reflect many personal interactions with students and collaborators from abroad, and periods of time spent with them in their countries. I have been extremely fortunate to have made so many good friends, all over the world. Some of the comments above feed through to my editorship of Materials Science and Technology. Readers will be aware that we promote a materials 'continuum': from processing, through characterisation, to properties. This is how we do it for Rolls-Royce, and one can't say much better than that. We also take due account of, and actively encourage papers from, an international authorship. I am very pleased with what MST has done since 2003, and rather proud of our Literature Review Prize competition, for postgraduate students, with its associated 'Masterclass'. The only area that I would like to continue to urge is that of 'Letters to the Editor', relating to papers that have appeared in the journal. We have 'stage managed' one or two ventures of this sort, but there is, as yet, no free-flowing system in existence. Publication in the journal of a Learned Society should not be just another 'tick on a list'. An Editor likes to feel that the papers are read, and have stimulated readers to think about the issues, perhaps engendering new thoughts that are worth sharing with other readers of the journal. Go to it! Please! John Knott |

Spring on a farm is even more glorious. It always means new chicks, and some years it bring new ducklings too.

At least 40 dead as monsoon lashes Sri Lanka, over 100 houses destroyed
Published on Jun 10, 2013 2:47 PM
COLOMBO (AFP) - Naval boats and helicopters scoured seas off Sri Lanka on Monday for dozens of missing fishermen, as the death toll from strong monsoon rains and winds rose to 40, an official said.
The dead fishermen were listed as missing since the monsoon hit the island early on Saturday, destroying more than 100 houses, according to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC).
"We continue to look for missing people," DMC spokesman Sarath Lal Kumara said. "The navy and the airforce are leading the search and rescue operations."
The death toll rose from 27 to 40, DMC figures show. Another 29 people were hurt in the storm.

It still hasn't "grown" on me yet (sorry)...it reminds me of curtains or a table clothe at my grandma's house LOL.
I want a long-sleeved shirt with that paisley pattern--they could even embroider a PRS logo on the front pocket. Gotta have a front pocket--where else am I going to keep my picks?
I need a clip! See here: http://prsguitars.com/forum/showthre...custom-TGS-mod
I've always liked Garfield.
Back to the original storyline of this thread.........paisley helps convince the wife that the amps and cabs are pieces of furniture, so you need more to fill other rooms. :biggrin:
I fully admit that my paisley 410b that I got from Brent last year was graciously allowed to have it in our living room for a while because of the paisley...my old Boogie never made it out of the music dungeon in the basement. I think my wife would appreciate a black paisley HXDA combo to tie in with...well, I don't know what but it's worth a shot.
My most recent mistake along those lines was telling a friend I play with about the PS I had on order before telling my wife. When he asked me when the guitar was due I felt "the look"...good thing we just got a new piece of furniture that happened to be made from Indian rosewood. I simply said my piece of "furniture" was made from Brazilian rosewood, kind of like the table. But I'm pretty sure a black paisley amp would look good enough that it would be a welcome addition to the home. Has anyone seen an HXDA combo in black paisley yet?
Olivia loves my paisley. After the unboxing and initial cat approval process it was promptly moved to my cat free music room.

Canela, Jerusalem
Tel: 972 2 622 2293
Concierge.com's insider take:
First opened in 2005 and set behind a wall of street-front windows in downtown Jerusalem, Canela got a major overhaul in late 2008 with the arrival of young chef Lior Haftzadi. He has given the contemporary Mediterranean bistro a lighter, fresher touch, focusing on seasonal ingredients and top Israeli wines. Now considered a leader in Jerusalem's culinary upswing, Canela is luring both young Jerusalem professionals and more adventurous religious types. Like most Jerusalem restaurants, Canela is kosher: Its meat-based menu eschews all dairy products. Instead, you'll find unexpected touches of Asian and Middle Eastern flavors on the menu. An appetizer of chestnut gnocchi, for instance, arrives colorfully spiked with chives and bathed in a sauce of coconut milk. Grilled chicken livers—an Eastern European classic—are surprisingly sweetened with dates, while raisins add texture and taste to a hearty beef stew. Book a window seat to watch the downtown Jerusalem bustle, an urban tableau ranging from skater kids to ultra-Orthodox rabbis.
Open Sundays through Thursdays noon to 4 pm and 6 pm to midnight, Fridays 11am to 3pm, and Saturdays after sundown to midnight.

Postma, Gregoire go with the floe
Sent to IceCaps, but part of big picture
THERE is still some fine-tuning to do and touch-ups may yet be necessary. But the finished product that will be the Winnipeg Jets is very close to being wheeled out of the hangar for the 2011-12 regular-season.
The Jets announced more roster moves on Sunday, releasing winger Janne Pesonen while assigning defenceman Paul Postma and left-winger Jason Gregoire to the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL. Meanwhile, contract talks with first-round draft pick Mark Scheifele, who has been sensational in training camp, are moving along quickly enough that an announcement on a deal for the 18-year-old could come as soon as today.
Players with junior eligibility remaining that were drafted in the first, second or third round must be signed by 4 p.m. on Tuesday or automatically return to their junior clubs.
"We've had great discussions with his agent and those discussions are ongoing," said Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff. "It's all part of the process. We've had good conversations."
The Jets will have to declare a roster of 23 by Wednesday, not including injured players Eric Fehr, Aaron Gagnon and Kenndal McArdle, while goaltender David Aebischer and forward Troy Bodie have not yet signed contracts. As well, the Jets will find out if centre Tim Stapleton cleared waivers this morning and Cheveldayoff said even if he does, it's not a given he'll be sent to St. John's.
"When you get down to smaller numbers the decisions are (made) with more and more scrutiny," said Cheveldayoff. "We're looking at where players fit and how they fit and in some cases on tryout guys, if they fit.
"It's been a great evaluation process for the two kids we're sending to St. John's (Postma and Gregoire) and I told them both this morning when I spoke to them, this is really the start, not the ending. This shouldn't be looked at negatively, it should be looked at positively as the start of them on their way to coming back here."
"They both made great impressions and are going to be a big part of the Winnipeg Jets' future."
The demotion of Postma may be seen by some as a bit of a surprise given he finished second in scoring for the Jets during the preseason to Scheifele with two goals and three assists in four games. But with the Jets deep in the defence corps and Postma on a two-way contract, it made the decision to send him to St. John's easier. Listed ahead of him on Winnipeg's defensive depth chart are Tobias Enstrom, Dustin Byfuglien, Zach Bogosian, Mark Stuart, Johnny Oduya, Ron Hainsey, Randy Jones and Derek Meech, who can also play on the wing.
All but Meech are on one-way contracts, meaning their NHL salaries are guaranteed even if they are playing for the IceCaps.
"He's certainly knocking at the door," Cheveldayoff said of Postma. "But lots of people knock at the door, you've got to push it down. In our situation here we've got seven (defencemen) on one-way contracts and that comes into play a little bit.
"He's in the third year of his development and he's progressed nicely. It's a process and this is the next step in the process for him."
Gregoire, the Winnipeg product, joined the Jets this summer after originally being drafted by the New York Islanders in 2007 and spending three years at the University of North Dakota. He appeared in three preseason games with the Jets, picking up one assist.
"Coming out college you don't get the chance to go to an NHL training camp and experience what it's all about," Cheveldayoff said. "He'll be a much better player for the experience being here and gauging himself against the speed and the strength of NHL players. And getting acclimated to the pro game at the American Hockey League level is a good thing. He'll be challenged each and every night to be one of the go-to guys there and get the ice time and experience he needs."
Jets head coach Claude Noel had praised Pesonen's overall game as recently as Saturday, but the Finnish product -- who played seven games with the Pittsburgh Penguins three years ago and spent the last two seasons in the KHL -- is 29 and was essentially pushed out of work by younger wingers in the organization.
"It's a tough one there," Cheveldayoff said. "He's a good player, a great person and I had a wonderful conversation with him. We talked about the camp and everything, but these are the decisions you have to make when you have to get to a roster of 23 active players. Lots of elements come into play from lots of different angles."

Susan Boyle is the definition of an underdog. She appeared as a contestant on the TV program Britain's Got Talent in April of 2009. On her first appearance on the show, she had to sing in front of three judges to move onto the next round in the talent competition, one of the judges being the infamous and brutally honest Simon Cowell. If you were watching the show at the time, most likely you would think there was no way she would advance to the next round and get past the judges. Boyle was aware that the audience on Britain's Got Talent was initially hostile to her because of her appearance, but she has refused to change her image. Boyle told The Sunday Times that "I know what they were thinking, but why should it matter as long as I can sing? It's not a beauty contest." Even the judges doubted her just by the look on their faces.
Boyle is a classic example of never judging a book by its cover. We all thought "oh no, here we go again" and we were wrong. Now she is a platinum award singer who created the UK best-selling debut album of all time. Whenever people doubt you by who you are or what you look like, prove them otherwise with your inner beauty.
