Arizona Wildcats
Arizona Wildcats 2013 football schedule released
Four of Arizona's first five Pac-12 games will be away from the friendly confines of Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
The Pac-12's 2013 football schedule was released Thursday, and Arizona's is as follows:
Aug. 31 vs. Northern Arizona
Sept. 7 at UNLV
Sept. 14 vs. UTSA
Sept. 28 at Washington
Oct. 10 at USC
Oct. 19 vs. Utah
Oct. 26 at Colorado
Nov. 2 at California
Nov. 9 vs. UCLA
Nov. 16 vs. Washington State
Nov. 23 vs. Oregon
Nov. 30 at Arizona State
The October 10 matchup at USC will be played on a Thursday.
The Wildcats will not play Stanford or Oregon State this season, but will welcome both California and Washington State back to their schedule.
As for how the schedule looks, the Wildcats will follow what should be a fairly easy non-conference slate with a tough stretch of Pac-12 games. Four road contests in five tries will give a good idea of how good the team is, and if Arizona can survive that stretch could be poised for a strong finish.

Germans to Turks to Mullahs: The Back Door
In all the excitement, it was easy to miss the fact that there were two very high level visitors to Iran late last week and then over the weekend: Turkish President Gul and German Foreign Minister Westerwelle. The sequence was not accidental.
Gul went first, and stayed for four days. The Turks and Iranians are constructing a very complex network of deals and schemes, from coordinating action against Israel, to making the two currencies interchangeable, to making commerce virtually unregulated, to building and maintaining oil and gas pipelines, enabling Turkey to buy Iranian product at bargain prices, and granting exploration and development concessions to Gul's people.
And there is more, above all Turkey's role as an enabler for the Iranians' malevolent programs, from obtaining military technology to funneling cash to terrorists, to getting top euro for Iran's stash of Western hostages. FOOTNOTE: hostages in Iran are never released unless ransom is paid. When you see hostages coming out, the only questions are 1)how much was paid? and 2) who paid it and how??
Gul was a middleman between the Germans and the Iranians in the matter of the release of two German journalists, whom Westerwelle collected in Tehran and accompanied back home. We need not rely on inside sources to assert a Turkish role. Gul bragged about it in public just today. However, we do need good sources to know what the deal was.
There's lots of dual-use technology (stuff that can be used for weapons systems or for "civilian" projects) that the Germans want to sell to Iran, but they can't because of sanctions. So the deal was a classic sanctions-busting maneuver. Germans will sell the stuff to the Turks. The Turks will send it on to the Iranians. And the Iranians toss in two hostages.

'The Germans' — who exactly do you mean?
Look a little deeper and you'll find that almost every company that has something relevant to sell in Germany is actually not German anymore but simply an international business that bought a German company — much of Germany that is worthwhile to own in a portfolio is actually foreign owned.
Much like the US and any other Western country really…
Btw, don't you find it a little strange that no western politicians is ever nailed for corruption and backhanders? (…)

But Germany has her Say for any sales made to acknoledged "rogue" states.
Also it's not such international companies financement, German prefer to control every thing themselves, but probably that the stuff they sell is manufactured in her proxy eastern neighbours countries
Germany doesn't feel that she ought to respect moral rules when she makes businesses, she did too with the Soviets, then with Putin, with who ever wants to buy "german made"
She has a go alone policy, like for the money crisis, things must be made the german way

Given that a lot of people think that the Stuxnet virus couldn't have been made without the active help of Siemans (who made the targeted centrifuges) perhaps we wanted the Germans to sell the Iranians carefully sabaotoged prohibited tech.
We used that tactic against both the Soviets and Saddam. The bad guys think they've scored a big secret/forbidden tech when really they've just paid a lot of money for malware.
On the other hand, the German's are wimps and unable to do anything to protect their citizens by any other means than selling out.
We'll probably never know.

The Siemens equipment wasn't sabotaged. It wasn't even compromised. The SCADA computers connected to them were. And the method of attack used against the Siemens PLCs could also be used against PLCs made by Rockwell, Modicon, or pretty much any other manufacturer with an always connected SCADA computer. It wasn't the PLC that was compromised, it was the connected computer whispering bogus little nothings into the PLC's serial port.
And as far as anyone knows, that was just a generic IBM PC running Windows.

This sounds oh too much like the plot of Forsyth's The Odessa File, with a German industrialist (and "ex" Nazi) covertly selling guidance electronics to Egypt to use in weapons against Israel (in 1963-67). We shouldn't expect Germany's interests to be the same as ours, or even close, then or now. "We taught them a lesson in 1918, and they've hardly bothered us since then."

I'm sorry, but when I hear about hostages it always begs the question, "how?"
The condition of the world as it stands leads me to admonish ANYONE against travel to these places (Michael Totten notwithstanding)or even close to their borders. I know, I know, how naive…I'm suggesting that we can't protect people from their own terrible judgement after they've been informed that "such-and-such is a terrible place and you're taking your life in your hands if you go there," and they go anyway.
Not to be confused with the notion that hostages have it coming or that there are no justifiable circumstances under which Americans might be in a hostile place, far from it. I just wish we'd act like we mean it when we demand the release of Americans…and put the lever down.

Thanks for this very insightful and important analysis, helping to place Westerwelle's (whose Free Democratic party was completely eliminated in the Hamburg voting yesterday) untimely visit to Teheran in proper perspective. The unwillingness of the Americans to speak out against the likelihood of German involvement in sanction-busting is deeply troubling, though as you point out the Americans themselves may be engaged in deals with Teheran. You often call Obama and his henchmen "feckless." But perhaps you are being too generous. Isn't it about time to start calling them complicit with the Mullocracy?

What gets me is how so many people ignore or play down the Turkish turn to Islamism. Some of this is also the fault of Israeli leaders like Barak or the lamentable 'Fuad' Ben Eliezer making the Marmara incident seem like a big snafu. This impression is then furthered by acceptance of American pressure for a UN commission to investigate Israel for Erdogan's use of terrorists to try and break the Gaza blockade (and open up weapons transfers to Hamas).
I understand that Pam Geller is unpopular with many for her skewering of Islam. Nonetheless, she traced all sorts of links regarding those 'flotillas' to or near Obama. Ayers, Dohrn, Khalidi, Imam Rauf's Malaysian organization, all tied to the flotilla stuff. The State Dept sent Rauf on a goodwill tour regarding the GZM.
Now the Iranian ships are actually transiting the Canal. Back to the main point, Turkey is a major threat to 'world peace' now. But the topic always gets changed. The Turkish-Iranian cooperation is a huge threat.

Not much we can do to stem Turkey's slide into Islamism. They, Anatolian Turkey, are out-breeding Ataturk's secularist Rumelian Turkey to a large degree.

I read this twice and can't find any factual evidence for the allegation that the Germans are selling controlled technology to Iran through Turkey.
Perhaps SISMI will find and reveal a bill of lading, signed by Merkel, Erdogan and Ahmedinejad.

Westerwelle is perhaps the worst and the most spineless "Foreign Minister" in Germany's history.
The most puzzling is why an open homosexual would be so enthusiastic about visiting the very country that is hanging gays; The Iranian barbarians will not show him any open hostility at such a venue but behind his back they are for sure experiencing an limitless contempt and revulsion for the fella.
Westerwelle is one of the Western politicians who project their political courage by denigrating their ally and defender the US while bending backwards, forwards and in any other imaginable direction for the enemies that would in a matter of a second castrate him before executing him in a most cruel way.
It is worthy to remaind our American friends that the Germans along with French, British and Russians have been for years promising Bush that in the event the sanctions against Iran failed to stop Mullahs from obtaining the nukes, they would full-heartedly support the military action.
As it came out, they broke any promise and will, for sure stab America in the back at the nearest opportunity.
But they shall and that is a 100% certainty, sallivate themselves in the presence of the PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN…
And that gives us a little hope that not all is lost.

P.S: I have once been a great germanophile but now I feel nothing but contempt for the Krauts.
However, an intellectual honesty demands from us to acknowledge that some 35% of Germans are very staunchly pro American.
Perhaps the most prominent of them is Herr Mathias Doepfner, the Chief Publisher of Spriger Empire with its flagship, Die Welt.
He has been always defending America and Geeorge Bush and his most famous article was "Europe, Thy Name Is COWARDICE" in which he labasted his Europeans fellows for their back-stabbing of America.
Those 35% are worthy of protecting and support by Yanks.

"I have once been a great germanophile but now I feel nothing but contempt for the Krauts". A rather contradictory sentence somehow. The term "Krauts" expresses contempt and nothing else. By the way, Germans tend to back-stab nobody. In general, most of us are very direct and honest people. Some call us impolite, okay.

So why did Germany vote "Yes" on the Lebanon-supported Security Council resolution slamming Israel despite their claimed "special relationship"?

Because that "special relationship" is a sham, though Germany is still one of the most pro-Israel countries in Europe due to its History. But in the end thats not much of a standard…
@Bogdan: Westerwelle is actually very typical for a German Foreign Minister. Genscher for example was quite a crook and their party is deeply entrenched in all kinds of institutions that foster und support the arab-german relationship.

There are an awful lot of Turks in Germany. Lord, forbid; they may become "radicalized" and start bombing bratwurst stands. That whole radicalization dare, which is all it is, should be countered with "if y'all start tearing stuff up, someones going to get their ass busted!

Gee, and then you have a current American State Department official with diplomatic immunity held hostage by the Pakies, supposedly our allies. Maybe it's time we take hostages too? Two can tango; it's just a matter of what to trade and not to trade, bodies or money or technology. I always thought we should've bombed our embassy in Teheran in '79: in other words, practiced a "no hostage policy" for keeps. At least the hostage takers would have died with the hostages, which definitely demonstrates some national fortitude. We may want to escalate and start with carpet bombing those thriving Pakie towns where the Taliban hang out with herd immunity for their rest and relaxation between campaigns in Afghanistan. Since they have no issues with blowing up non-combatants, I fail to see why we should be so finicky; war is hell. And "war crimes" are just an after thought by the victors, but first you have to have a victory to enjoy that judicial contradiction in terms.

Facts: A company owned by Siemens in China received an order from a Chinese company. Siemens should deliver industrial computers to the address of the other company (in China too). The computers have been delivered, the money paid, everything seemed o.k. What Siemens did not know: The Chinese company planned to ship the computers to Iran via Dubai. The Iranian company involved might have been Kalaye Electric Company( nobody seems to be absolutely sure). Seen in this context, a company will never be sure to whom the goods will be delivered in the end. What about the company that shipped the goods? It seems that only German companies are in the focus. What about Russian, Chinese, Indian, South American or even US ones? Source: Welt online Wikileads- Enthüllungen. By the way, Peter Löscher, the Austrian GM of Siemens is a man of high integrity and morality. Furthermore, Welt online is a product of the Springer publishing house. Axel Springer, the late founder only accepted journalists who did write pro-American and pro-Israel. Therefore, when Welt online sees the incident as a chain of unfortunate circumstances, it has to be accepted. Somehow Germans never seem to have a sound grasp of contemporary developments. Perhaps, the US should speak to German officials more often and not only about Germans.

Go Germany, go!
germans have every right to do their own and not US-biased foreign policy and business.
US dictate is harming the interests of every single european state, cause the EU is the middle east neighbour, and they always been interested to have good relations to turkey and iran.
in the same way the US was not able to do anything against iran, they wont be able to change something in germany.
be aware: it is not the merkel government making problems, no, those are already washingtons darling. it is the german economy and business companies who totally reject the US/UN-sanctions.
nobody can convince them that US-policy will benefit their status. what the germans rcognized is, how to do diplomacy with iran via the back door.
and they will continue. the US should stay out of europe and the middle east and care about mexico, canada or cuba.

Effective Email Introductions or Why Blind Intros Suck
January 29, 2013
6 Comments
A version of this article previously appeared on Forbes. It just happened again. A well-intentioned colleague introduced me to a stranger via email, without first confirming with me that the intro was welcomed. Such "blind"matchmaking is more often than not a waste of everyone's time: the person making the introduction, the person being introduced and me. Don't get me wrong. Despite my occasional ranting, (see The Worst Networking Call Ever), I like people and I enjoy making new connections. When I am not complaining, I strive to be a mensch and I pride myself in helping as many people as my time and talents allow. As such, it is especially frustrating when I have to spend my limited time apologizing to a stranger as to why I am unable to offer them meaningful assistance after they were introduced to me without my consent.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2012) |
Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanization, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc. Galvanizing protects in two ways:
The term is derived via French from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani. Originally, galvanization was the administration of electric shocks, in the 19th century also termed Faradism. This sense is the origin of the meaning of the metaphorical use of the verb galvanize, as in galvanize into action, or to stimulate a complacent person or group to take action. The term galvanization has largely come to be associated with zinc coatings, to the exclusion of other metals. Galvanic paint, a precursor to hot-dip galvanization, was patented by Stanislas Sorel, of Paris, France in December, 1837.[1] The earliest known example of galvanizing of iron is found on 17th century Indian armor in the Royal Armouries Museum collection.[2]
Hot-dip galvanizing deposits a thick robust layer that may be excessive. In the case of automobile bodies, where additional rust proofing paint will be applied, a thinner form of galvanizing is applied by electrogalvanization. The hot-dip process does generally not reduce strength on a measurable scale,[3] with the exception of high-strength steels (>1100 MPa) where hydrogen embrittlement can become a problem.[4][5] This is a consideration for the manufacture of wire rope and other highly stressed products. The protection provided by hot dip galvanizing is insufficient for products that will be constantly exposed to corrosive materials such as salt water. For these applications, more expensive stainless steel is preferred. Some nails made today are electro-galvanized. Nonetheless, electroplating is used on its own for many outdoor applications because it is cheaper than hot dip zinc coating and looks good when new. Another reason not to use hot dip zinc coating is that for bolts and nuts size M10 (US 3/8") or smaller, the thick hot-dipped coating fills in too much of the threads, which reduces strength (because the dimension of the steel prior to coating must be reduced for the fasteners to fit together). This means that for cars, bicycles and many other light mechanical products, the alternative to electroplating bolts and nuts is not hot dip zinc coating but making the bolts and nuts from stainless steel.
The size of crystallites in galvanized coatings is a visible and aesthetic feature, known as spangle. By varying the number of particles added for heterogeneous nucleation and the rate of cooling in a hot-dip process, the spangle can be adjusted from an apparently uniform surface (crystallites too small to see with the naked eye) to grains several centimetres wide. Visible crystallites are rare in other engineering materials.
Thermal diffusion galvanizing, a form of Sherardizing, provides a zinc coating on iron or copper-based materials partially similar to hot dip galvanizing, but the final surface that results is different in that all of the zinc is alloyed.[6] Zinc is applied in a powder form with "accelerator chemicals" (generally sand,[7] but other chemicals are patented). The parts and the zinc powder are tumbled in a sealed drum while it is heated to slightly below zinc's melting temperature. The drum must be heated evenly, or complications will arise. Due to the chemicals added to the zinc powder, the zinc/iron makes an alloy at a lower temperature than hot dip galvanizing. This process requires generally fewer preparatory cleanings than other methods. The dull-grey crystal structure formed by the process bonds more strongly with paint, powder coating, and rubber overmolding processes than other methods. It is a preferred method for coating small, complex-shaped metals, and for smoothing in rough surfaces on items formed with powder metal.
Although galvanizing will inhibit attack of the underlying steel, rusting will be inevitable, especially if exposed to the natural acidity of rain. For example, corrugated iron sheet roofing will start to degrade within a few years despite the protective action of the zinc coating. Marine and salty environments also lower the lifetime of galvanized iron because the high electrical conductivity of sea water increases the rate of corrosion primarily through converting the solid zinc to soluble zinc chloride which simply washes away. Galvanized car frames exemplify this; they corrode much quicker in cold environments due to road salt. Galvanized steel can last for many years if other means are maintained, such as paint coatings and additional sacrificial anodes. The rate of corrosion in non-salty environments is mainly due to levels of sulfur dioxide in the air.[8]
In the early 20th century, galvanized piping replaced cast iron and lead in cold-water plumbing. Typically, galvanized piping rusts from the inside out, building up plaques on the inside of the piping, causing both water pressure problems and eventual pipe failure. These plaques can flake off, leading to visible impurities in water and a slight metallic taste. The life expectancy of such piping is about 70 years, but it may vary by region due to impurities in the water supply and the proximity of electrical grids for which interior piping acts as a pathway (the flow of electricity can accelerate chemical corrosion). Pipe longevity also depends on the thickness of zinc in the original galvanization, which ranges on a scale from G40 to G210, and whether the pipe was galvanized on both the inside and outside, or just the outside. Since World War II, copper and plastic piping have replaced galvanized piping for interior drinking water service, but galvanized steel pipes are still used in outdoor applications requiring steel's superior mechanical strength.
This lends some truth to the urban myth that water purity in outdoor water faucets is lower, but the actual impurities (iron, zinc, calcium) are harmless. This is not always the case in pre-1986 copper pipe where lead-containing solder was commonly used. In installations where copper pipe has been fitted to replace a section of corroded galvanized pipe, a dielectric fitting, usually a union, must be used to join the two types of pipes; otherwise the presence of water in contact with differing metals creates an electrical current that can cause "galvanic corrosion". In some amateur installations, the failure to use this special fitting has caused the lead in the solder to leach into the drinking water. A common location where this occurs is where a home's copper piping connects to a galvanized steel municipal supply line.
The presence of galvanized piping detracts from the appraised value of housing stock because piping can fail, increasing the risk of water damage. Galvanized piping will eventually need to be replaced if housing stock is to outlast a 50 to 70 year life expectancy, and some jurisdictions[which?] require galvanized piping to be replaced before sale. One option to extend the life expectancy of existing galvanized piping is to line it with an epoxy resin.[citation needed]

Don't respond to Emails, phone calls, or web pages which tell you to call an "809" area Phone Number. A MARIP client recently was a victim.
You will receive a message on your answering machine or your pager, which asks you to call a number beginning with area code 809.

Sometimes I think I'm a little bit strange. I leave the office each night and set out for my 50 minute journey back home to Savannah. While on the road I often find myself getting very sleepy, not the kind of sleepy that would make me a road hazard, but the kind of sleepy that makes you really look forward to getting into bed or curling up on the couch. The closer I get to home, the stronger the feeling gets. I find myself rejoicing in my head as I turn onto my street, and as I pull into the driveway and watch the garage door go up, the rejoicing turns into a full-fledged party in my head.

I believe that I'm the most forgetful laundry-doer. Or maybe I'm just plain lazy. I'll get the urge to do a ginormous load of laundry and before you know it a few days have passed and I can't find my favorite T-shirt or shorts. Don't you hate when that happens? You turn the whole house upside down looking for that one article of clothing, you're sweating, cussing, and everyone in the house is either helping you look or running for cover. Then you remember... IDIOT, it's in the washing machine. You open the lid to find a damp collection of clothes stuck to the walls.

For some strange reason I find this to be a great commercial. It's kind of odd and a bit disturbing but there's something very funny about men shaking cows to Kelis' "Milkshake." It's just plain fun.

I really want a dog. I've been looking around online for the past couple of months for a new dog. Well, not really a new one... I've never owned one before. I have two cats and they mean the world to me, but I've always wanted a dog. I've actually always wanted a great dane or a mastiff but I figure I should start small and work my way up. So, I'm looking for a small dog. Every time that I go to Chatham-Savannah Humane the little dogs that I spotted on their Web site always seems to be on hold for someone else. I'm just too slow, they tell me.

It's official. As of noon today I was officially approved to be Zeus' new mom.
Zeus (his name for now)
I know what you're thinking. I was looking for a small dog. Well, he's part small dog. He is half pit bull, half dachshund. He's expected to be around 40-50 lbs. He's 4 months old and just adorable. The humane society picture just doesn't do him justice. Don't worry though, as soon as I get him home in the morning the photo shoot will begin.
There's just one problem though.

YAP is a multifunctional adapter protein and transcriptional coactivator with several binding partners well described in vitro and in cell culture. To explore in vivo requirements for YAP, we generated mice carrying a targeted disruption of the Yap gene. Homozygosity for the Yap(tm1Smil) allele (Yap-/-) caused developmental arrest around E8.5. Phenotypic characterization revealed a requirement for YAP in yolk sac vasculogenesis. Yolk sac endothelial and erythrocyte precursors were specified as shown by histology, PECAM1 immunostaining, and alpha globin expression. Nonetheless, development of an organized yolk sac vascular plexus failed in Yap-/- embryos. In striking contrast, vasculogenesis proceeded in both the allantois and the embryo proper. Mutant embryos showed patterned gene expression domains along the anteroposterior neuraxis, midline, and streak/tailbud. Despite this evidence of proper patterning and tissue specification, Yap-/- embryos showed developmental perturbations that included a notably shortened body axis, convoluted anterior neuroepithelium, caudal dysgenesis, and failure of chorioallantoic fusion. These results reveal a vital requirement for YAP in the developmental processes of yolk sac vasculogenesis, chorioallantoic attachment, and embryonic axis elongation.

Hi All,
Newbie here, but I have just been reading through some of the topics on here and make for great reading!
I own a Ford Focus 1.8 2002 style.
I have owned the car for around 2 years and have never had to put any work in which I am quite thankful for, however recently I started getting some noises occasionally whilst driving.
I had to go a fair distance yesterday and started getting noises whilst on the motorway. I took the car to a local garage where they saw the forward driver's side brakes had been dragging, along with a rear bearing needing replaced.
After the work had finished the car was working perfectly, but after driving 75 miles whenever I take a corner there is a loud squeal coming from the front wheels.
Does anyone mechanically minded have any idea as to what could be causing the problem? and a resolution if possible?

Shipwreck Yields Bronze-Age Gold

Gleaming where it sank almost 3,000 years ago, a golden bracelet from the Bronze Age marks the site of one of the world's oldest shipwrecks, recently discovered off the coast of the United Kingdom. At the time of the wreck, Rome had yet to be built, pharaohs still ruled Egypt, and Jesus Christ's birth was still centuries away.
The treasure was part of a 900 B.C. cargo discovered in May 2009 near the town of Salcombe (map) by divers from the South West Maritime Archaeological Group.
Announced this month at the International Shipwreck Conference in Plymouth, U.K., the Salcombe finds include hundreds of copper and tin ingots—the raw material for making bronze—and reveal sophisticated trade links between prehistoric Britain and the rest of Europe, archaeologists say.
"It shows how linked in communities on the south coast [of Britain] were to a very broader world," said Ben Roberts, European Bronze Age curator at the British Museum in London.

Putting the Bronze in "Bronze Age"

The Bronze Age shipwreck's main cargo was hundreds of copper and tin ingots such as these.
Shaped into pellets convenient for shipping, copper and tin ingots were the raw material for making the metal which defines the Bronze Age.
The Salcombe shipwreck's 259 copper ingots likely came from overseas, possibly from mines in central Europe or what is now Spain, according to the study team.
The 27 tin ingots salvaged so far were probably sourced closer to home, however. "One of the few things Britain could produce in prehistory was tin," said team member Dave Parham of Bournemouth University.

Shipwreck Sword: Sign of Weapon Trading?
Photograph courtesy South West Maritime Archaeological Group
A bronze sword is among the newly revealed artifacts from the 900 B.C. shipwreck off Salcombe, U.K. The 18-inch-long (45-centimeter) sword is of a style dated to between 950 and 850 B.C., but researchers don't yet know if the weapon was British-made or imported.
Bronze Age expert Ben Roberts said that swords replaced spears as Britain's weapon of choice in about 1200 B.C., after being introduced from mainland Europe.
The oldest swords that have been found in Britain match German and French examples and were certainly imported, according to Roberts. But this later sword may well have been produced locally, he said.

Treasure Detector

A diver searches for sunken treasure off Salcombe, U.K., using an underwater metal detector.
The recently discovered Bronze Age treasure was found in the Salcombe region, close to the shore and in just 26 to 33 feet (8 to 10 meters) of water. But excavation team member Dave Parham isn't surprised it lay undiscovered for almost 3,000 years.
"These are very small objects in a very big seabed," the marine archaeologist said. "Unless you know what you're looking for, you're not going to see it."
Three golden bracelets found in the most recently identified Salcombe shipwreck site gleamed enough to be noticed. But the large quantity of metal ingots at the site resemble gravel cobbles, making them very hard to distinguish in undersea rock gullies, Parham said.

Twisted Treasure

The latest Salcombe discoveries follow rich finds in the same area from another Bronze Age shipwreck—such as these golden adornments found in 2006.
While the newfound wreck yielded several golden bracelets, called torques, the previously discovered site included even rarer treasures. Pictured are an eight-stranded braided-wire torque (top left), two rolled-up ribbon torques (top center and right) and part of a twisted bar torque, which date to between 1300 and 1100 B.C.
Once worn as a bracelet, the braided-wire torque is incredibly rare, with the closest known example coming from France, according to Ben Roberts of the British Museum.
"You've got this incredibly sophisticated goldworking technology," Roberts said, "which is evidently international."

Ancient Axheads

Other cargo from prehistoric wreck sites near Salcombe, U.K., include these bronze axheads, designed to fit into a split in a wooden handle.
As with the axes' handles, nothing remains of the sunken Bronze Age vessels, so how they were constructed is a mystery.
The few surviving Bronze Age boats from northwest Europe were made of solid wood. But other evidence, such as rock carvings, points to boats made of animal hide stretched over a timber frame, said marine archaeologist Dave Parham. (Related: "Viking Shipwrecks Face Ruin as Odd 'Worms' Invade.")
Such vessels would have been more than capable of crossing between France and Britain or transporting the 190-pound (86-kilogram) load recovered at the newfound wreck site, Parham said.
"It's a modern concept that you need something big to go to sea," he added.

Proof of Far-Flung Trade?

Bronze sword parts, axes, and other tools were found off Salcombe in 2004, including the intriguing triangular artifact at lower right.
The function of three-pointed object is unknown, but similar items have been found in Bronze Age hoards on the Italian island of Sicily (map)—some 1,850 miles (3,000 kilometers) from Salcombe.
"This is the most northerly find" of this type of artifact, said Ben Roberts of the British Museum. It is, he said, "direct evidence of contact with the Mediterranean."
The Salcombe artifacts, Roberts said, are so crucial to expanding knowledge of Britain's prehistoric trade links that the British Museum is planning to add the objects to its permanent collection.

Inside This Issue - Opinion
Here are five reasons why Walgreens' recently announced acquisition of Duane Reade makes sound business sense.
A recent edition of The New York Times carried a story about the plight of independent pharmacies in America. Appearing under the headline, "For a Drugstore, 'Nice' Isn't a Panacea," the article does a good job outlining the strengths of independents and the challenges that they currently face. In contrasting such retailers with chain drug stores, it does, however, present only a partial view of the industry.

Kim may have gotten criticized for her 2013 dress, but no one will be saying anything bad about her 2014 Met Ball look. The new mother stunned in a full-length blue Lanvin gown with black detail and while she went light with accessories, her best was Kanye who looked stunning on her arm.
Kim Kardashian traded in her Ricardo Tisci floral gown from last year for an absolutely perfect flowy gown. However, just because it was a full-length ball gown, she still kept it sexy! The Lanvin dress was strapless, so needless to say — she still showed off cleavage, especially with the black ribbon belt placed right under her bust. However, we were so blown away by the huge slit in the side! It went all the way up to the belted waste — and we loved it. Did you?
Kim Kardashian's Met Gala Dress
Kim stepped out during the day before the Met Gala, and paid a visit to Lanvin with Kanye West. While she had worn the designer many times in the past, this is something completely different for her. We had no idea what to expect for her second time at the gala, but we were pleasantly surprised. She didn't wear much jewelry except drop down earrings by her close friend Lorraine Schwartz.
Kanye of course looked adorable in a full black and white tuxedo and we couldn't help to think it's a preview to what we'll be seeing at their upcoming wedding. We're not yet sure which designers Kim and Kanye will be wearing at their wedding, but we do know no matter what she choses for her three gowns, they will all be flawless and beautiful, just like her Met Ball dress.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Kim & Kanye looked fab? Or do you think the should have went with a different look? Let us know!

I like Kim and consider myself a fan but I hate the dress and I hate the way she looks in it. She routinely shows up to clubs and events and concerts looking 100 times better than this. Why, on the most important night when everyone is watching, would she wear such an ill-fitted gown that does NOTHING for her? I keep saying she needs to lay of the botox too because her face varies so much from day to day / week to week. She needs to start looking at pictures of herself from 2008-2010 and start trying to recreate that and STOP listening to Kanye's fashion advice. He dresses her like she's a six foot tall skinny model and she's a curvy, short goddess. She was a stylist and she knew what she was doing long before he came along!

She doesn't look too special and I would just put her with the normal paying folks (@ $25K a pop) . She looked better in the red post-Oscars dress. Did they need all the pouf around her hips to disguise her butt. I would like to see it from the back. I think Dita and Beyonce looked fab!

L3mbtl2 has been implicated in transcriptional repression and chromatin compaction but its biological function has not been defined. Here we show that disruption of L3mbtl2 results in embryonic lethality with failure of gastrulation. This correlates with compromised proliferation and abnormal differentiation of L3mbtl2(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells. L3mbtl2 regulates genes by recruiting a Polycomb Repressive Complex1 (PRC1)-related complex, resembling the previously described E2F6-complex, and including G9A, Hdac1, and Ring1b. The presence of L3mbtl2 at target genes is associated with H3K9 dimethylation, low histone acetylation, and H2AK119 ubiquitination, but the latter is neither dependent on L3mbtl2 nor sufficient for repression. Genome-wide studies revealed that the L3mbtl2-dependent complex predominantly regulates genes not bound by canonical PRC1 and PRC2. However, some developmental regulators are repressed by the combined activity of all three complexes. Together, we have uncovered a highly selective, essential role for an atypical PRC1-family complex in ES cells and early development.
