I've seen some that go pretty far, but what i would like to know is an exact limit, like say if we used a scale of 1 to 10 of nudity (or sexual content) in a picture to what extent would be allowed? And for the debate topic of it, to what extent do you think should be allowed to be posted?

Citizens agree Mpenza deal
17 Feb 2007 - 14:51:58
Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Emile Mpenza, with international clearance required to seal the Belgium striker's arrival at Eastlands.
The 28-year-old is a free agent after leaving Al Rayyan in Qatar and has shown up well during a trial stint with the Citizens, earning a short-term deal running until the end of the season.
Mpenza made his name in Belgium with Standard Liege and Excelsior Mouscron, as well as enjoying stints in the German Bundesliga with Schalke 04 and SV Hamburg.
He headed to the Middle East just over a year ago, but is keen to get back to Europe and prove that his career is far from finished.
He told a Belgian radio station: "I make this move as revenge, with respect to all those who criticised my decision to play in Qatar.
"At 28 years of age I am not finished and I will prove it in Manchester. To play in England is to carry out a dream."
Mpenza has scored 17 goals in 52 appearances for Belgium, with his brother, Mbo, having played one more game for the Red Devils than his younger sibling.

Then&Now: A San Antonio Time Capsule
- Susan Saporito
- Managing Editor- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
The following stories were making headlines during the week of Sept. 26-Oct. 2, 1988:
Change at Benson
Tom Benson, the majority owner of Benson Financial Corp., is considering the possibility of taking the company public, said an officer with one of the three local banks owned by the bank holding company.
Greg Oveland, president of Kelly Field National Bank, said Benson likely will wait on making such a move for a year or two.
"He would like to offer the company to Texas investors, so he wants to wait until the Texas economy improves."
Benson Financial Corp. owns three local banks: San Pedro Bank, Kelly Field National Bank and Groos Bank. Groos Bank recently took over the failed Mercantile Bank & Trust. The banks had combined assets of $407.4 million as of March 1988.
HMO shakeout
The dust continues to settle after a shakeout in 1987 that saw the number of health maintenance organizations in San Antonio drop from six to four. Two of the four recently moved to larger quarters: PacifiCare and Travelers Health Network. All four have shown sizable increases in membership since the first of the year.
The two companies no longer in San Antonio are Maxicare, which was bought by and merged with Humana Health Plan of Texas, and South Texas Health Plan, which pulled out of the Alamo City to focus on Austin and Central Texas. With its acquisition, Humana is now the largest HMO in the city. The second-largest is PruCare of San Antonio.
Profile: With Martin Goland at the helm, all systems are go at research institute
Then: In 1955, Martin Goland joined what was then a small research plant with 350 employees, concentrating on engines and lubricants. Since becoming president of Southwest Research Institute in 1959, he has developed the institute into a major research and industrial complex with few equals in the world.
Over the years, Goland has developed major programs involving research ranging from advanced computer technology, including robotics and artificial intelligence, to bioengineering to space sciences.
In space engineering, Goland helped steer the institute into new technologies to help develop products and new scientific processes, which is what Goland says the institute is all about.
"I like to be at the institute because we're building something for Texas, the United States and the world," Goland said.
Now: Martin Goland, president for 37 years, died in 1997, having led one of the most prosperous periods in institute history. At the time of his death, the institute had reached gross revenues of $270 million. Today's staff is led by President J. Dan Bates, who took office in November 1997. Bates leads more than 2,973 scientists, engineers and support personnel in the conduct of nearly 2,000 nationally and internationally sponsored projects each year.
Business Notes: 1988
VIA Metropolitan Transit reported that its disadvantaged business enterprise participation currently stands at 28.7 percent, which is significantly higher than the 10 percent goal required by the federal government.
AT&T Communications Inc. consolidated several of its local offices in a 98,279-square-foot lease at 10999 I-10 West in the CityView office building. AT&T will have telecommunications and information systems sales and service, local marketing offices and national off-hours service and bilingual operator assistance at the CityView location.
John LeFlore was named regional chairman of the NCNB Texas general banking group's South Texas Region. He will oversee banking centers in San Antonio, Victoria and Harlingen, as well as future development in the South Texas area.
CL Hendricks Designs recently completed work on the Brackenridge Train Station. Selection of the finishes and display store layout plans were provided by the firm. The Brackenridge Train Station is located in Brackenridge Park and is to be used for ticket sales as well as a gift shop.
HEB Video Super Store leased 6,431 square feet of space in the Walzem Plaza Shopping Center on Walzem Road.

Every time I go for a pedi, DH will take the little one shopping and she always screams and cries "My feet too, pink on my feet!" Sometimes she'll sit in the chair next to mine and I'll just tell her she's too young (they let her soak her feet in warm water, they have a cute Hello Kitty chair, that she sits in, it's for younger people, but I'm not sure if it's for her age group.
Well I was thinking since she turned 3 last weekend I'd treat her to a pedi, but is she too young? The lady at the salon says no, but I think she just wants me to pay the extra money for LO.
She's always like "ah, come on mom...let her get her toe nails done too!"

Septic Man (2013)
Jess T. Cook (Monster Brawl) is now directing Septic Man which is really twisted and disgusting. Septic Man is scheduled to appear at Fantastic Fest. The horror film stars Jason Brown, Molly Dunsworth (Hobo with a Shotgun), Julian Richings (Cube), Robert Maillet (Pacific Rim), and Tim Burd. Yet another potentially good horror movie to look out for.
Described as "a transgressive creature feature mixed with the trappings of a super-hero origins story," the film focuses on an erstwhile plumber who undergoes a hideous transformation when trapped inside a septic tank.

pure hilarity, old boy. make another one soon...
and thats not a request, thats an order!
I loved the first.
This was great, just like the first, although this one was much faster and fucked up. I loved the bit when everyone was saying they were Super Saiyan, but all in all, i have to say i preferred the first.
not that good
it really wasnt very good,exept the fact you found out that in japan hercule is called Mr.Satan,and vagita was taking a dump.but i bet you didnt know most of the characters from DBZ are the names of undergarments.all i remember is 'GOKU' means monkey,and i know that some of the people in DBZ are undergarments because my bro told me so,and i believe him since,as everyone knows,"TRUNKS" is does mean trunks,and thats a kind of clothing.
Meh, kinda funny...
Not nearly as funny as the first, but still kinda funny. The first one seemed more organized and better thought out, this one just seems like it was all made up on the spot and the puns are weak as a result. The super saiyan comment was funny, there are too many, but aside from that this was just so-so.
That even better than the first, dude! I really liked it dude!

im so tired of people not playing because they are lagging. if your lagging don't start the friggen match god damn you should now how good your connection is. cant even have fun in this game anymore. i sign on once in a while to play a few games and get paired with people who just sit in spawn because "im lagging" or just didn't even connect to the game in the first place. if someone hasn't summoned into the game the game shouldn't start or it should just automatically put you back in que
cant tell if im lagging or not before i start a match riot y u no has ping test next to 'play game' ?
Most of the time, its just an excuse for having a bad game.
ahris boobs that would be an amazing feature
Doctor Dot
You can't tell when you're gonna lag. My computer sometimes starts lagging after i've played like 4-5 games in a row and in that case, all I do is close the LoL client and open it back up again
havent a lot of people been complaining about lag? i know i never lagged before, ping was always below 50 but now every so often it will be above 9k (joke not intended) all game. maybe it could be something with the servers?

The poly room that we left behind was actually less than the CR room we just switched to. If anything it's just within $100 or so. I've never been to either poly or CR --- wanted this trip to be on the monorail, was hoping for poly. Should we just stick with CR, or try for poly last minute again if the pool is Guaranteed open??? not sure. 4 of us - 2 kids. Stayed in a diff WDW resort last visit.
That's an awful lot of uncertainty, switching resorts days before going. I like knowing where we're going to stay months in advance if possible. I'd probably just stick with CR at this point, if it were me. It's pool isn't quite the Volcano pool, but it's still a very nice pool, on the monorail, and unlike the Poly you can actually walk over to MK. The Poly and the Volcano pool (hopefully with a hot tub someday - fingers crossed) will be there for later trips.
True true....better to be able to get 100% excited about something instead of being uncertain. Cool pool, we hung around it before our meal at chef mickeys last trip. And...hot tub thanks!

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the analysis of UVES and GIRAFFE spectra acquired by the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the fields of young clusters whose population includes pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. Both methods that have been extensively used in the past and new ones developed in the contest of the Gaia-ESO survey enterprise are available and used. The internal precision of these quantities is estimated by inter-comparing the results obtained by such different methods, while the accuracy is estimated by comparison with independent external data, like effective temperature and surface gravity derived from angular diameter measurements, on a sample of benchmarks stars. Specific strategies are implemented to deal with fast rotation, accretion signatures, chromospheric activity, and veiling. The analysis carried out on spectra acquired in young clusters' fields during the first 18 months of observations, up to June 2013, is presented in preparation of the first release of advanced data products. Stellar parameters obtained with the higher resolution and larger wavelength coverage from UVES are reproduced with comparable accuracy and precision using the smaller wavelength range and lower resolution of the GIRAFFE setup adopted for young stars, which allows us to provide with confidence stellar parameters for the much larger GIRAFFE sample. Precisions are estimated to be $\approx$ 120 K r.m.s. in Teff, $\approx$0.3 dex r.m.s. in logg, and $\approx$0.15 dex r.m.s. in [Fe/H], for both the UVES and GIRAFFE setups.Astronomy and Astrophysics 01/2015; in press. · 4.48 Impact Factor -
Conference Paper: AUTOMATED PROCEDURE TO DERIVE FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF B AND A STARS: APPLICATION TO THE YOUNG CLUSTER NGC 3293
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work describes a procedure to derive several fundamental parameters such as the effective temperature, surface gravity, equatorial rotational velocity and microturbulent velocity. In this work, we have written a numerical procedure in Python which finds the best fit between a grid of synthetic spectra and the observed spectra by minimizing a standard chi-square. LTE model atmospheres were calculated using the ATLAS9 code and were used as inputs to the spectrum synthesis code SYNSPEC48 in order to compute a large grid of synthetic Balmer line profiles. This new procedure has been applied to a large number of new observations (GIRAFFE spectra) of B and A stars members of the young open cluster NGC3293. These observations are part of the GAIA ESO Survey. Takeda's procedure was also used to derive rotational velocities and microturbulent velocities. The results have been compared to previous determinations by other authors and are found to agree with them. As a first result, we concluded that using this procedure, an accuracy of ± 200 K could be achieved in effective temperature and ± 0.2 dex in surface gravities.SF2A 2014, Paris; 12/2014 - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Gaia-ESO Survey is obtaining high-quality spectroscopic data for about 10^5 stars using FLAMES at the VLT. UVES high-resolution spectra are being collected for about 5000 FGK-type stars. These UVES spectra are analyzed in parallel by several state-of-the-art methodologies. Our aim is to present how these analyses were implemented, to discuss their results, and to describe how a final recommended parameter scale is defined. We also discuss the precision (method-to-method dispersion) and accuracy (biases with respect to the reference values) of the final parameters. These results are part of the Gaia-ESO 2nd internal release and will be part of its 1st public release of advanced data products. The final parameter scale is tied to the one defined by the Gaia benchmark stars, a set of stars with fundamental atmospheric parameters. A set of open and globular clusters is used to evaluate the physical soundness of the results. Each methodology is judged against the benchmark stars to define weights in three different regions of the parameter space. The final recommended results are the weighted-medians of those from the individual methods. The recommended results successfully reproduce the benchmark stars atmospheric parameters and the expected Teff-log g relation of the calibrating clusters. Atmospheric parameters and abundances have been determined for 1301 FGK-type stars observed with UVES. The median of the method-to-method dispersion of the atmospheric parameters is 55 K for Teff, 0.13 dex for log g, and 0.07 dex for [Fe/H]. Systematic biases are estimated to be between 50-100 K for Teff, 0.10-0.25 dex for log g, and 0.05-0.10 dex for [Fe/H]. Abundances for 24 elements were derived: C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Mo, Ba, Nd, and Eu. The typical method-to-method dispersion of the abundances varies between 0.10 and 0.20 dex.Astronomy and Astrophysics 10/2014; 570:A122. · 4.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

Article: The Gaia-ESO Survey: Stellar content and elemental abundances in the massive cluster NGC 6705
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chemically inhomogeneous populations are observed in most globular clusters, but not in open clusters. Cluster mass seems to play a key role in the existence of multiple populations. Studying the chemical homogeneity of the most massive open clusters is necessary to better understand the mechanism of their formation and determine the mass limit under which clusters cannot host multiple populations. Here we studied NGC6705, that is a young and massive open cluster located towards the inner region of the Milky Way. This cluster is located inside the solar circle. This makes it an important tracer of the inner disk abundance gradient. This study makes use of BVI and ri photometry and comparisons with theoretical isochrones to derive the age of NGC6705. We study the density profile of the cluster and the mass function to infer the cluster mass. Based on abundances of the chemical elements distributed in the first internal data release of the Gaia-ESO Survey, we study elemental ratios and the chemical homogeneity of the red clump stars. Radial velocities enable us to study the rotation and internal kinematics of the cluster. The estimated ages range from 250 to 316Myr, depending on the adopted stellar model. Luminosity profiles and mass functions show strong signs of mass segregation. We derive the mass of the cluster from its luminosity function and from the kinematics, finding values between 3700 M$_{\odot}$ and 11 000 M$_{\odot}$. After selecting the cluster members from their radial velocities, we obtain a metallicity of [Fe/H]=0.10$\pm$0.06 based on 21 candidate members. Moreover, NGC6705 shows no sign of the typical correlations or anti-correlations between Al, Mg, Si, and Na, that are expected in multiple populations. This is consistent with our cluster mass estimate, which is lower than the required mass limit proposed in literature to develop multiple populations.Astronomy and Astrophysics 07/2014; 569. · 4.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: X-ray and radio data recently acquired as part of a project to study Cyg OB2#9 are used to constrain physical models of the binary system, providing in-depth knowledge about the wind-wind collision and the thermal, and non-thermal, emission arising from the shocks. We use a three-dimensional, adaptive mesh refinement simulation (including wind acceleration, radiative cooling, and the orbital motion of the stars) to model the gas dynamics of the wind-wind collision. The simulation output is used as the basis for radiative transfer calculations considering the thermal X-ray emission and the thermal/non-thermal radio emission. To obtain good agreement with the X-ray observations, our initial mass-loss rate estimates require a down-shift by a factor of roughly 7.7 to $6.5\times10^{-7}$ and $7.5\times10^{-7}$ solar mass per year for the primary and secondary star, respectively. Furthermore, the low gas densities and high shock velocities in Cyg OB2#9 are suggestive of unequal electron and ion temperatures, and the X-ray analysis indicates that an (immediately post-shock) electron-ion temperature ratio of $\simeq 0.1$ is also required. The radio emission is dominated by (non-thermal) synchrotron emission. A parameter space exploration provides evidence against models assuming equipartition between magnetic and relativistic energy densities. However, fits of comparable quality can be attained with models having stark contrasts in the ratio of magnetic-to-relativistic energy densities. The radio models also reveal a subtle effect whereby inverse Compton cooling leads to an increase in emissivity as a result of the synchrotron characteristic frequency being significantly reduced. Finally, using the results of the radio analysis, we estimate the surface magnetic field strengths to be $\approx 0.3-52\;$G.

ABSTRACT: The Gaia-ESO Survey is a large public spectroscopic survey that aims to derive radial velocities and fundamental parameters of about 10^5 Milky Way stars in the field and in clusters. Observations are carried out with the multi-object optical spectrograph FLAMES, using simultaneously the medium resolution (R~20,000) GIRAFFE spectrograph and the high resolution (R~47,000) UVES spectrograph. In this paper, we describe the methods and the software used for the data reduction, the derivation of the radial velocities, and the quality control of the FLAMES-UVES spectra. Data reduction has been performed using a workflow specifically developed for this project. This workflow runs the ESO public pipeline optimizing the data reduction for the Gaia-ESO Survey, performs automatically sky subtraction, barycentric correction and normalisation, and calculates radial velocities and a first guess of the rotational velocities. The quality control is performed using the output parameters from the ESO pipeline, by a visual inspection of the spectra and by the analysis of the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectra. Using the observations of the first 18 months, specifically targets observed multiple times at different epochs, stars observed with both GIRAFFE and UVES, and observations of radial velocity standards, we estimated the precision and the accuracy of the radial velocities. The statistical error on the radial velocities is sigma~0.4 km s^-1 and is mainly due to uncertainties in the zero point of the wavelength calibration. However, we found a systematic bias with respect to the GIRAFFE spectra (~0.9 km s^-1) and to the radial velocities of the standard stars (~0.5 kms^-1) retrieved from the literature. This bias will be corrected in the future data releases, when a common zero point for all the setups and instruments used for the survey will be established.Astronomy and Astrophysics 05/2014; 565:A113. · 4.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Context. The derivation of radial velocities from large numbers of spectra that typically result from survey work, requires automation. However, except for the classical cases of slowly rotating late-type spectra, existing methods of measuring Doppler shifts require fine-tuning to avoid a loss of accuracy due to the idiosyncrasies of individual spectra. The radial velocity spectrometer (RVS) on the Gaia mission, which will start operating very soon, prompted a new attempt at creating a measurement pipeline to handle a wide variety of spectral types. Aims: The present paper describes the theoretical background on which this software is based. However, apart from the assumption that only synthetic templates are used, we do not rely on any of the characteristics of this instrument, so our results should be relevant for most telescope-detector combinations. Methods: We propose an approach based on the simultaneous use of several alternative measurement methods, each having its own merits and drawbacks, and conveying the spectral information in a different way, leading to different values for the measurement. A comparison or a combination of the various results either leads to a "best estimate" or indicates to the user that the observed spectrum is problematic and should be analysed manually. Results: We selected three methods and analysed the relationships and differences between them from a unified point of view; with each method an appropriate estimator for the individual random error is chosen. We also develop a procedure for tackling the problem of template mismatch in a systematic way. Furthermore, we propose several tests for studying and comparing the performance of the various methods as a function of the atmospheric parameters of the observed objects. Finally, we describe a procedure for obtaining a knowledge-based combination of the various Doppler-shift measurements.Astronomy and Astrophysics 02/2014; 562:97. · 4.48 Impact Factor -

Article: Microturbulence in A/F Am/Fm stars
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A programme to observe all A dwarfs in open clusters brighter than V=6.5 mag of various ages and in the field was initiated several years ago. In this work we present the current status of microturbulent velocity for A and F dwarfs. We have performed high resolution high signal-to-noise spectroscopy of stars well distributed in mass along the Main Sequence. Microturbulent velocities are derived iteratively by fitting grids of synthetic spectra calculated in LTE to observed spectra of 61 A field stars, 55 A and 58 F in open clusters (Pleiades, Coma Berenices, Hyades and the Ursa Major moving group). We compared our results to recent works and found a good agreement with their analytical formulation for the standard microturbulence. Our results show a broad maximum for microturbulent velocities in the range A5V to about A9V and a decrease (to $\sim 1$ km/s) for cooler and hotter stars as indicated in Smalley (2004).We also present a comparison to preliminary science results of Lobel et al. (2013) for the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey.12/2013; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The colliding winds in a massive binary system generate synchrotron emission due to a fraction of electrons that have been accelerated to relativistic speeds around the shocks in the colliding-wind region. We studied the radio light curve of 9 Sgr = HD 164794, a massive O-type binary with a 9.1-yr period. We investigated whether the radio emission varies consistently with orbital phase and we determined some parameters of the colliding-wind region. We reduced a large set of archive data from the Very Large Array (VLA) to determine the radio light curve of 9 Sgr at 2, 3.6, 6 and 20 cm. We also constructed a simple model that solves the radiative transfer in the colliding-wind region and both stellar winds. The 2-cm radio flux shows clear phase-locked variability with the orbit. The behaviour at other wavelengths is less clear, mainly due to a lack of observations centred on 9 Sgr around periastron passage. The high fluxes and nearly flat spectral shape of the radio emission show that synchrotron radiation dominates the radio light curve at all orbital phases. The model provides a good fit to the 2-cm observations, allowing us to estimate that the brightness temperature of the synchrotron radiation emitted in the colliding-wind region at 2 cm is at least 4 x 10^8 K. The simple model used here already allows us to derive important information about the colliding-wind region. We propose that 9 Sgr is a good candidate for more detailed modelling, as the colliding-wind region remains adiabatic during the whole orbit thus simplifying the hydrodynamics.Astronomy and Astrophysics 10/2013; 561. · 4.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cyg OB2 #9 is one of a small set of non-thermal radio emitting massive O-star binaries. The non-thermal radiation is due to synchrotron emission in the colliding-wind region. Cyg OB2 #9 was only recently discovered to be a binary system and a multi-wavelength campaign was organized to study its 2011 periastron passage. We report here on the results of the radio observations obtained in this monitoring campaign. We used the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) radio interferometer to obtain 6 and 20 cm continuum fluxes. The observed radio light curve shows a steep drop in flux sometime before periastron. The fluxes drop to a level that is comparable to the expected free-free emission from the stellar winds, suggesting that the non-thermal emitting region is completely hidden at that time. After periastron passage, the fluxes slowly increase. We introduce a simple model to solve the radiative transfer in the stellar winds and the colliding-wind region, and thus determine the expected behaviour of the radio light curve. From the asymmetry of the light curve, we show that the primary has the stronger wind. This is somewhat unexpected if we use the astrophysical parameters based on theoretical calibrations. But it becomes entirely feasible if we take into account that a given spectral type - luminosity class combination covers a range of astrophysical parameters. The colliding-wind region also contributes to the free-free emission, which can help to explain the high values of the spectral index seen after periastron passage. Combining our data with older Very Large Array (VLA) data allows us to derive a period P = 860.0 +- 3.7 days for this system. With this period, we update the orbital parameters that were derived in the first paper of this series.Astronomy and Astrophysics 12/2012; · 4.48 Impact Factor -
Conference Paper: On the Binarity of LBV Stars
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report on the binarity of luminous blue variable stars observed with a set of techniques and instruments. Among them, observations at high angular resolution with the VLT-NACO, the VLTI-AMBER and with spectrographs such as the VLT-XSHOOTER allowed us to find several LBV stars as binaries or having a potential companion. In particular the LBV Pistol Star clearly presents radial velocity variations and line profiles modifications (double peak appearance). In addition, the absorption component of the P Cygni lines varies as well with the time indicating a potential wind structure variability. Our observations also show directly for the first time a companion to at least one of the observed LBVs (HD 168625). This one seems to affect the environment of the system. This system is known to be surrounded by several rings similar to those of SN1987A, possibly indicating a future supernova occurrence for this Galactic object. These results show that Eta Car is no longer unique.Circumstellar Dynamics at High Resolution; 12/2012 - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Context. Nonthermal radio emission in massive stars is expected to arise in wind-wind collisions occurring inside a binary system. One such case, the O-type star Cyg OB2 #9, was proven to be a binary only four years ago, but the orbital parameters remained uncertain. The periastron passage of 2011 was the first one to be observable under good conditions since the discovery of binarity. Aims: In this context, we have organized a large monitoring campaign to refine the orbital solution and to study the wind-wind collision. Methods: This paper presents the analysis of optical spectroscopic data, as well as of a dedicated X-ray monitoring performed with Swift and XMM-Newton. Results: In light of our refined orbital solution, Cyg OB2 #9 appears as a massive O+O binary with a long period and high eccentricity; its components (O5-5.5I for the primary and O3-4III for the secondary) have similar masses and similar luminosities. The new data also provide the first evidence that a wind-wind collision is present in the system. In the optical domain, the broad Hα line varies, displaying enhanced absorption and emission components at periastron. X-ray observations yield the unambiguous signature of an adiabatic collision, because as the stars approach periastron, the X-ray luminosity closely follows the 1/D variation expected in that case. The X-ray spectrum appears, however, slightly softer at periastron, which is probably related to winds colliding at slightly lower speeds at that time. Conclusions: It is the first time that such a variation has been detected in O+O systems, and the first case where the wind-wind collision is found to remain adiabatic even at periastron passage. Based on observations collected at OHP, with Swift, and with XMM-Newton.Tables 1 and 2 are available in electronic form at http://www.aanda.orgAstronomy and Astrophysics 10/2012; · 4.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using optical long baseline interferometry, we resolved for the first time the two wide components of HD167971, a candidate hierarchical triple system known to efficiently accelerate particles. Our multi-epoch VLTI observations provide direct evidence for a gravitational link between the O8 supergiant and the close eclipsing O + O binary. The separation varies from 8 to 15 mas over the three-year baseline of our observations, suggesting that the components evolve on a wide and very eccentric orbit (most probably e>0.5). These results provide evidence that the wide orbit revealed by our study is not coplanar with the orbit of the inner eclipsing binary. From our measurements of the near-infrared luminosity ratio, we constrain the spectral classification of the components in the close binary to be O6-O7, and confirm that these stars are likely main-sequence objects. Our results are discussed in the context of the bright non-thermal radio emission already reported for this system, and we provide arguments in favour of a maximum radio emission coincident with periastron passage. HD167971 turns out to be an efficient O-type particle accelerator that constitutes a valuable target for future high angular resolution radio imaging using VLBI facilities.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 04/2012; 423(3). · 5.23 Impact Factor - The Messenger. 03/2012; 147:25-31.
Article: Stellar libraries for Gaia
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gaia will observe up to a billion stellar sources. Automated algorithms are under development to derive the atmospheric parameters of all observed spectra, from low resolution optical spectra alone or in synergy with high resolution spectra in the near-IR Ca II triplet region. To do so, a large database of state-of-the-art stellar libraries has been produced for the Gaia community, computed using different codes optimized for specific purposes. The choice to use different spectral codes in different regions of the H-R diagram raises the problem of the coherence of the different spectra, specifically in the transition zones. We present a comparison between the libraries from the point of view of spectra simulations for training the Gaia algorithms. We also present the implementation of these libraries into a Simple Stellar Population code.Journal of Physics Conference Series 12/2011; 328(1):012006. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: During recent years some non-thermal radio emitting OB stars have been discovered to be binary, or multiple systems. The non-thermal emission is due to synchrotron radiation that is emitted by electrons accelerated up to high energies. The electron acceleration occurs at the strong shocks created by the collision of radiatively-driven winds. Here we summarize the available radio data and more recent observations for the binary Cyg OB2 No. 9. We also show a new emission model which is being developed to compare the theoretical total radio flux and the spectral index with the observed radio light curves. This comparison will be useful in order to solve fundamental questions, such as the determination of the stellar mass loss rates, which are perturbed by clumping.10/2011; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Six O-type stars were observed continuously by the CoRoT satellite during a 34.3-day run. The unprecedented quality of the data allows us to detect even low-amplitude stellar pulsations in some of these stars (HD 46202 and the binaries HD 46149 and Plaskett's star). These cover both opacity-driven modes and solar-like stochastic oscillations, both of importance to the asteroseismological modelling of O stars. Additional effects can be seen in the CoRoT light curves, such as binarity and rotational modulation. Some of the hottest O-type stars (HD 46223, HD 46150 and HD 46966) are dominated by the presence of red-noise: we speculate that this is related to a sub-surface convection zone.09/2011; -

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The detection of pulsational frequencies in stellar photometry is required as input for asteroseismological modelling. The second short run (SRa02) of the CoRoT mission has provided photometric data of unprecedented quality and time-coverage for a number of O-type stars. We analyse the CoRoT data corresponding to three hot O-type stars, describing the properties of their light curves and we search for pulsational frequencies, which we then compare to theoretical model predictions. We determine the amplitude spectrum of the data, using the Lomb-Scargle and a multifrequency HMM-like technique. Frequencies are extracted by prewhitening, and their significance is evaluated under the assumption that the light curve is dominated by red noise. We search for harmonics, linear combinations and regular spacings among these frequencies. We use simulations with the same time sampling as the data as a powerful tool to judge the significance of our results. From the theoretical point of view, we use the MAD non-adiabatic pulsation code to determine the expected frequencies of excited modes. A substantial number of frequencies is listed, but none can be convincingly identified as being connected to pulsations. The amplitude spectrum is dominated by red noise. Theoretical modelling shows that all three O-type stars can have excited modes but the relation between the theoretical frequencies and the observed spectrum is not obvious. The dominant red noise component in the hot O-type stars studied here clearly points to a different origin than the pulsations seen in cooler O stars. The physical cause of this red noise is unclear, but we speculate on the possibility of sub-surface convection, granulation, or stellar wind inhomogeneities being responsible.Astronomy and Astrophysics 07/2011; 533. · 4.48 Impact Factor

The Lou Reed Story
Lou Reed emerges from the pages of Victor Bockris's internationally acclaimed biography as a brilliant lyrical innovator. It is as a writer that Reed has been able to traverse the various terrains of his career decade by decade. And it is from his position as a writer that he stands alongside his peers, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Lou Reed has done as much to shape the course of rock and roll as any of the industry greats. From his first doo wop record, "So Blue," released in his teens, to garage rock and psychedelic rock with the Velvet Underground, through his twenty-year solo career in glitter, punk, disco, alternative, and sober rock, he stands in the foreground as a major innovator and trendsetter. The Velvet Underground is now regarded as second only to the Beatles as the most influential group of the 1960s. When he launched his solo career in 1972, he appeared along with David Bowie and Marc Bolan in the vanguard of glitter rock. Soon after, he flung himself into the pit of punk with the ultimate album of the genre, Metal Machine Music. He went on to paint a portrait of one man's life in the underbelly of New York City through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s with fifteen more solo albums.

New banking rules won't solve cannabis cash problem
Financial institutions gun-shy
Jason Gray
Medical and recreational marijuana businesses are having trouble with the green they make: not their product, but their profits. Many financial services companies are prohibited from dealing with cannabis-related businesses because of federal regulations. Others choose not to because of the controversy that continues to rage about marijuana legalization.
The Department of the Treasury and Department of Justice issued new "guidance" to banks in February about opening deposit accounts for marijuana-related businesses. The guidance clarifies how the agencies will enforce the Bank Secrecy Act on financial institutions in states where medical or recreational marijuana has been legalized. Historically, a bank must perform due diligence to know their customers and determine if deposits and withdrawals are related to criminal activity. If banks suspect criminal activity, they were required to file a Suspicious Activity Report. If the bank determined that the account was laundering money or dealing with drug money of any sort, they were required to close the account.
The new policy states that a bank choosing to open an account for a state-licensed marijuana dispensary or grow operation must still file SARs on those accounts so federal law enforcement can track the activities, but only on a periodic basis instead of filing on every transaction. The bank must also perform due diligence to make sure the dispensary or grow operation is properly licensed and not laundering money for criminal enterprises.
The additional paperwork is scaring off banks and credit card processors, said Rachel Gillette, Boulder attorney and executive director of Colorado NORML, state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
"Federal banking guidance didn't make them feel comfortable, apparently, because they're still not taking accounts," Gillette said. "NORML is a user advocacy organization, but the banking issue is one that affects consumers. They have to go into these establishments carrying large quantities of cash. So, it's in everyone's best interest to solve the banking issues."
Mortgage companies and commercial real estate lenders are also avoiding cannabis deals, said Chris Courtland, mortgage consultant in Colorado Springs. Lenders fear that if federal law enforcement agencies seize the property under civil asset forfeiture laws, they will be unable to foreclose and collect on the mortgage. The lender would then have no recourse to collect on the loan.
Wells Fargo, FirstBank and Vectra bank have already told commercial landlords who have existing leases with marijuana dispensaries that they must evict those tenants before refinancing, according to an article by David Migoya, published Feb. 18 in The Denver Post.
"That's why a lot of these marijuana guys are looking for stand-alone buildings," Courtland said. "The nice thing is you're creating more business for the builders."
Courtland is working with a hedge fund in San Francisco to figure out if it's possible to make financing available for real estate and equipment leasing for properly licensed cannabis businesses. "The funds brought it up to us when we mentioned we were in Colorado," he said. "The CEO of the fund has been dealing with the issue in California, too. There's not a lot of organization in being able to lend to these businesses yet."
Brokerages are also staying away from the pot business – 401(k)s and other retirement accounts are not available to marijuana businesses or their employees. "Our position has been that since it's still federally illegal, it's considered money laundering," said Leasha Larsen, Southern Colorado regional leader for Edward Jones Investments. The new banking guidance is not likely to change the policy of these broker-dealers because of the political ramifications for the national companies. "We evaluate each account opportunity on an individual basis," said Jackie Knolhoff, Edward Jones home office public relations spokeswoman in St. Louis, Mo. "Because the state and federal governments have a difference of opinion about the use of marijuana, this is a situation that we would most likely avoid."
"The bottom line is all these problems can be solved if the federal government would stop covering their ears and eyes, and reschedule or de-schedule marijuana," Gillette said. "That simple act would solve all these tricky areas."
