The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News Digital News Associates and Desk Assistants JACQUELINE NG FERNANDEZ, JAYCE HENDERSON and KATY CONRAD
The New York Times' Carl Hulse: "Boehner in His Element as Spending Cuts Elicit Free-Flowing House Debate" For Speaker John A. Boehner, the budget-cutting frenzy taking place on the House floor merges two of his animating political passions — the need to shrink federal spending and the willingness to risk a free-flowing debate. LINK
The Washington Post's Philip and Felicia Sonmez: "All voices heard as House brainstorms for budget trims" As the House explores ways this week to trim federal spending beyond the $61 billion in cuts that Republicans have already proposed, Speaker John A. Boehner has said all ideas are welcome – from obscure trims involving mustang roundups out West to major reductions such as eliminating funding for the Iraq security forces. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Jonathan Weisman: "Deficit Plan Details Emerge" A bipartisan group of senators is considering legislation that would trigger new taxes and budget cuts if Congress fails to meet a set of mandatory spending targets and other fiscal goals aimed at reducing federal deficits. The plan would break the task of deficit reduction into four pieces: a tax code overhaul; discretionary spending cuts; changes to Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlements; and changes to Social Security, aides said. LINK
Newsweek's Robert Samuelson: "High-Speed Rail Is a Fast Track to Government Waste" Vice President Biden, an avowed friend of good government, is giving it a bad name. With great fanfare, he went to Philadelphia last week to announce that the Obama administration proposes spending $53 billion over six years to construct a "national high-speed rail system." Translation: The administration would pay states $53 billion to build rail networks that would then lose money—lots—thereby aggravating the budget squeezes of the states or federal government, depending on which covered the deficits. LINK
ABC News' Jake Tapper: "Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg to Meet With President Obama Thursday in San Francisco" Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Google chief executive Eric Schmidt will be among the attendees of President Obama's event with business leaders in San Fran Thursday evening. Earlier today, ABC News reported that another attendee would Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Jobs, Schmidt and Zuckerberg will be among many business leaders the president will sit down and talk to, as he continues to sell his State of the Union message.LINK
NY Daily News' Thomas M. Defrank, Richard Huff and Bill Hutchinson: "President Obama calls CBS News correspondent Lara Logan after reports of Egypt sex assault" President Obama phoned CBS reporter Lara Logan on Wednesday to express concern over her brutal sexual assault she suffered while covering the Egyptian revolution. Sources at CBS confirmed Obama reached out to Logan, 39, but did not reveal specifics on what he discussed with the veteran war-zone correspondent. LINK
NY Daily News' Adam Caparell: "Glenn Beck vs. Google: Pundit doesn't trust search engine, suggests his fans may want to avoid it" Unlike billions of worldwide users, Glenn Beck doesn't trust Google. The conservative Fox News pundit announced on his show Wednesday that he will avoid using any Google products, and implored his viewers to follow suit. Beck spent a good portion of his program outlining why Google's business ties should make people think twice about using the world's most popular search engine – and it's many other products. LINK
The Hill's Jordy Yager: "Bin Laden would be held at Gitmo if caught" Osama bin Laden would be shipped to Cuba and held at the Guantánamo Bay prison if he were captured, the head of the CIA told senators on Wednesday. Leon Panetta's comments come as the White House continues its push for the detention facility's closure. LINK
The Hill's Shane D'Aprile: "GOP seeks Napolitano papers as political ammo ahead of possible Senate run" Anticipating that Janet Napolitano may run for the Senate, Republican operatives are seeking a slew of political documents from the Department of Homeland Security to use as political ammunition. The National Republican Senatorial Committee submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to DHS Tuesday, formally requesting personal correspondence that may have occurred between Napolitano and Democratic political staffers since January of 2009. LINK
The Hill's Jordy Yager: "Hillary Clinton donors indicted" A federal grand jury indicted two Virginia men on Wednesday for allegedly trying to illegally reimburse donors who gave to Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate and presidential campaigns. The DOJ has accused the two men, William Danielczyk and Eugene Biagi, of paying back $186,600 in contributions to the Senate and presidential campaign committees of a candidate for federal office, and obstructing the FEC and the FBI. LINK
Politico's Jennifer Epstein: "The Politics of Education Upended" In Wisconsin, about 1,000 teachers called in sick Wednesday to protest Gov. Scott Walker's attempt to strip their union bargaining rights. In Washington, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recounted his battle with his state's teachers unions Wednesday, calling their leaders "greedy" and "selfish." LINK
The Boston Globe's Liz Kowalczyk "Patrick proposes health fee overhaul" Governor Deval Patrick plans to file long-awaited legislation today that would give him authority to scrutinize the fees paid to hospitals and doctors, part of a proposal to transform how providers are compensated and to curb rising health care costs, according to high-level administration officials.

Microsoft is set to buy the company which supplied the technology for the Surface Pro 3, and has spearheaded the comeback of pen tech.

Microsoft has purchased its fifth non-U.S.-based company this year by buying Israeli cloud security vendor Aorato Ltd.
[UPDATED] Does Microsoft find and fix security problems in their own products? You might assume so, but the company gives no reason to believe it. I assume they do, but silently.

Bruce: Moving Mac computing to Apple TV output
What's Bruce? Aside from being a punchline to a rather silly Monty Python video, it's also an amusing little testbed that I've been putting together to see how far I can push the Apple TV's utility, whether for creating information kiosk installations or bringing rich information out from the office and into the living room.
Bruce is basically an image server. The images served are generated on the Mac side of the world and pushed through to a vanilla, unjailbroken Apple TV. Bruce currently offers two modes: a date/time/weather display that updates in real time and a screenshot mode that pushes updates to the Apple TV every few seconds.
The engine under Bruce's covers is essentially the same one that powers my AirFlick application, which allows you to push videos and photographs to Apple TV. Bruce plays a different role in that the focus isn't just on relaying pre-existing content but generating new content live.
It's not just about creating smarter screen savers (which is, basically, what the weather report option is all about) -- it's also about thinking how to publish compelling information snippets to what is, otherwise, a passive public display. It's all about pushing information to the Apple TV from the computer, rather than pulling requests by the Apple TV user. This is not an unexplored arena by any means, but for just US$99 for the Apple TV, it's a newly affordable and hackable one.
If you want to give Bruce a try, I threw a build up on my website for you to play with. I'm particularly interested in hearing from readers as to how you think the Macintosh/Apple TV relationship can grow and what kinds of rich information the Apple TV would benefit from receiving passively.

Apparatus for Low Temperature Study of the Raman Effect
JOSA, Vol. 40, Issue 10, pp. 655-655 (1950)
Acrobat PDF (539 KB)
A simple modification of a conventional excitation unit for the Raman effect is described that allows study of the effect in liquids at temperatures down to about -150°C. The chief feature of the arrangement is a Dewar-jacketed sleeve that fits around the Raman tube and enables the cooling of the tube by a flow of cold nitrogen gas. By adjustment of the temperature of the gas and its rate of flow, easy and precise control of the temperature of the Raman tube can be obtained. It is also possible to use elevated temperatures (up to +150°C) by heating the nitrogen. The advantages of the system are its simplicity, ease of operation, rapidity of change from low temperature to normal operation, and vice-versa, and the same intensity of illumination as that afforded by room-temperature operation.

FeaturedCommentsGreat work. I see a lot of hollow eyed imagery elsewhere. Yours seem to possess intelligence and story. How do you feel about their use as character avatars in private campaigns?
You have a fantastic gallery and I'm a fan now. Just a question, what type of paper do you use? with mine I get more of a charcoal line work instead of crisp and clean lines like yours.

I've done a few deals with PlatinumPlus502. Personally he has always been fast to ship and is a good guy, I really doubt he did this on purpose. I understand he took a while to ship, but sometimes crap comes up in life. I doubt anyone is gonna ruin their rep for 2 ben franklins lol.

Maybe he really did ship tuesday afternoon. I sent the PM to him around 4:45 pacific time asking if he got it out and if he didn't to just refund me. Seller didn't bother to respond and gets butthurt when I file the dispute the following day. If he did ship it on tuesday, I will know when I see the postmark...since according to him he HAD to go to the post office. By the way, this deal was for 12 cards. TWELVE. I KNOW a person can fit 12 cards into a bubble mailer so this whole 'having to go to the post office' is a crock. Excuses I plan to hear on this: But, the bubble mailer I have is the little ones and 12 cards wouldn't fit! WalMart is open 24-7. Go buy one. But I wanted insurance on it! Paypal does insurance. But man, you just don't get how busy my life is! Shut up. No time to ship but plenty to log in 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/5, and 2/6 and bump buying threads. Buying threads using MY G'D MONEY.

I know! I work at a CPA firm, working around 60 hours a week, run an eBay store, have a 3 year old, a house to keep up, shopping to do, etc and I'm up at 5:30am every day getting through everything I have to do. Last night was the first night in awhile I went to bed before midnight (11:15 to be exact) and everyone gets their orders shipped out the following weekday morning after receiving payment.

Back in March of 2008, you took money from people. You disappeared. No rhyme, reason, anything. Most importantly, no cards. A year later you come back and try to make amends and pay people back in installments. Interest free loan for a full year. 2 weeks is a drop in the bucket compared to the shenanigans you pulled 5 years ago. Not siding with platinumplus at all, as it's wrong what he did, but I just find it funny that you'll call someone out over something like this when what you did was much worse. |

I love the college, work, baby, hail storm, tsunami, hospital, tricycle wreck excuses - as if the rest of us are retired, single, with no kids. Oh and don't get me started on the "I couldn't check my PM's" as if there is a single person in this world anymore that doesn't have, or at least have access to, a smart phone. Don't have one? ask the kid sitting next to you in class to borrow his for 2 minutes to reply to a PM.
I work, I have a wife, I have a kid, I have a house, I have a social life, I have... Can't be getting very good grades in college if you haven't figured out how to budget your time yet. Paypal and the USPS makes it idiot proof to send on time. I personally don't use paypal shipping - so I use the USPS - if they are closed I use the 24 hour self mailing kiosk - if that was broken I'd use that stupid stamps.com Mike and Mike are always talking about. Do I always send next day? No - because I try to send in batches. Do I communicate with every buyer that it might be a few days - and then reply to every PM if they ask - of course I do. I'm a normal seller.

2. Why are you upset with OP? You held over $200 of his for over a week. Wouldn't you be pissed if it was your money? 3. Why are you still bidding on cards before you decide if you want them or not. 33 retractions really shows you could care less about the other party involved with you in a transaction.

Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this reviewThe show was great and very entertaining, but like a previous reviewer commented, the actors should have worn microphones, as it was often hard to hear what they were saying or singing over the loud music. Some of their voices were not powerful enough, even for the small venue. Loved the theater!
star this review starred report as inappropriateAlthough there is no amplification, I think the actors were able to project their voices. The director had some great ideas which was weaved-in skillfully. Overall, its a great play with great acting/singing/directing.
star this review starred report as inappropriateIt was a great show! Most of the cast was very, very good.
(Our only complaint was that it read that beer and wine was available (on the door), but it was not. Bummer!)
star this review starred report as inappropriateFun night with Friends! We went on opening night so there were a few issues, but it didn't take away from the show. We went with a group of friends and everyone had a great time.

Weighty Matters Info
Weighty Matters used to be just a chronicle of my weight loss efforts, which was extremely frustrating because I couldn't maintain it--both the blog and the weight loss thing. So instead, I have transformed my thinking (and this blog) so that it will not only deal with weight loss but also with all important health issues that we face. This is now my journal not just to lose weight but to keep it and to maintain good health. Hence, the name of this blog still applies. After all, all health issues are weighty matters.Subscribe via Email

That Time of Year

Express Yourself
FOUND by Brad Rogers; Baltimore, MD
I found this scrap of paper in the trashcan of a Baltimore coffee shop.
The shop has one little counter where they keep the cream, sugar, and other coffee paraphernalia. Lit by an overhead bulb, it is completely smooth except for one small round hole in the top. This is the place where you're supposed to drop your cups, sugar packets, and the like.
For reasons that I don't quite understand, I felt the urge to look inside the hole. Don't ask me why – I didn't even have anything to throw out. But sitting there, lit by a perfect round spotlight, was this note.

Purpose of body spray? Deodorant?

No i don't think body spray can you be used as an anti-perspirant at all. Deodorant is more for preventing presperation and may have a scent to it as a bonus.. but, body spray is more like perfume.. they serve the same purpose.
#Post 3 of 6 OFFLINE
Posted 22 April 2006 - 10:12 AM
I agree, a body spray is more equivalent to fragrance.
Have you tried the "deodorant crystal" types of deodorant? My mom's friend has sensitive skin and uses those and loves them. I don't remember any brand names off hand, but most drugstores sell them in the deodorant section (I've always seen them on the top shelf). I also had a friend who perspired above average and she had a procedure where they removed sweat glands from her underarms so now she doesn't have to use deodorant or anti-perspirant (ever). I've heard that the "smell" is caused by bacteria on the hair, so you may also look into laser hair removal. I'm doing it right now, and it's not painful.

Deodorant simply prevents odors. Anti-perspirants prevent the actual sweating. So, a body spray will take care of odors, though they only last a few hours and need to reapplied which may become overpowering, but not perspiration.
You might try:
Tom's of Maine deodorant (all natural)
Crystal Deodorant (in purple containers all natural, made of minerals)
Dove also makes unscented deodorant for sensitive skin.
#Post 5 of 6 OFFLINE
Posted 22 April 2006 - 06:29 PM
Thanks girls! I'm actually currently using the crystal and am even undergoing laser hair removal on my underarms, legs and brazillian...so wow, we think along the same lines!
I used to be pretty confident that the crystal thing worked until one really really nervous day....and since then, I'm not entirely confident it will really deodorize/neutralize all smells. I don't really have BO most of the time...it's just those times when I'm nervous or anxious!
I think I'll see how the body spray works for me and see if it makes me itchy....I'll try the Tom's of Maine suggestion, thanks! Unfortunately, the Dove unscented for sensitive skin gives me rashes as well.

Agard has now been given permission to travel to Ashton Gate and discuss personal terms with the League One outfit.

Lately I've been getting back into the EE groove with some random electronics projects (such as an Arduino-based LED strip driver). I've also been dabbling with different circuit simulators like Micro-Cap (which I used back in college but which is VERY expensive for the regular version… still, it's handy for quick little sims to learn new things, especially in the digital realm).
Today I stumbled on LTspice from Linear Technology, which I found to be surprisingly intuitive (and given that it's based on the venerable and powerful SPICE it's that much more worth learning). It's not as animation-friendly as Micro-Cap but it's pretty easy to make custom components (and where else can you simulate the actual inner workings of a 555 timer or a 741 op-amp?) (And yes, the 741 is not something you'd reach for normally nowadays, but they are instructive nonetheless.)
Memristors have intrigued me since they made the news a few years back, when discoveries were made of practical memristive materials. You can read more about them on Wikipedia and so on, and though very subject is not without controversy I personally think they will prove to be a valuable technology going forward. I found them intriguing from both the EE and the MSE perspectives.
Side-note: if you find yourself wondering more about why a device does what it does (in my case, the humble MOSFET) than regurgitating Kirchoff's Law and applying Thévenin's theorem, you're probably better off in Materials Science Engineering than Electrical Engineering. At least that's what happened to me… that and a very grumpy EE prof who made it clear we'd all be obsolete, unemployed and grumpy like him soon anyway. And you can always fall back on CS when the semiconductor market tanks…
Given all that, today I decided to see if I could simulate a circuit with a memristor in it. Problem is, while some sims have memristors, LTspice does not, and apparently nobody out there has published a simple example that actually works (I found videos – who writes a text tutorial in a video? – and a broken webpage, but I never found a working sim). So, I made one… and after a few false starts I got it to work. Not bad for an evening at home!
To try my demo out, simply click here to download my LTspice-based memristor simulation and follow the instructions in the README.txt file for how to install and use it.
And to reiterate, this is a demo based on the SPICE model of a memristor as described in one paper… this is for educational purposes only and no, I can't help you with your homework.

Description The subject of the present invention is a textile complex for the production of thermal protective garments. The complex involved here is intended to provide thermal protection against heat and flames, being used for the production of garments for firemen, but also, more generally, in other fields of activity where there is a risk of burns due to heat or flames. As they did quite some time ago, firemen in France wear a leather jacket fitted with a cotton or woolen inner lining for comfort. Such a jacket does not provide suitable internal thermal protection. In other countries, the jackets worn by firemen are based on a textile, either without a waterproof barrier, which results in a reduction in the thermal protection, or with a waterproof barrier impermeable to water vapor, which prevents the evaporation of transpiration and increases the problem of thermal stress. Thermal stress is a physiological phenomenon resulting from the rise in internal body temperature, occurring due to the effect of external factors such as a hot environment or due to the effect of great and prolonged effort. Thermal stress is manifested by a rise in the internal temperature of the body which can no longer thermally regulate itself, which in turn can lead to illnesses, or even fainting or a cardiac event. It is now known that when the body temperature exceeds the normal temperature by +1.5� C., the judgement and reaction faculties are impaired to the point of leading to accidents in dangerous environments. The latest study on the deaths of firemen in the USA gives only 8% of deaths by burning, 42% of deaths are due directly to thermal stress while the remaining 50% are accidents without any obvious cause but which specialists increasingly compare with stupid accidents due to judgement being impaired by thermal stress. There is a European directive relating to personal protective equipment used especially by firemen. A jacket must meet a certain number of criteria, especially those relating to protection against radiant heat and protection against convective heat, must have good thermal stability in terms of the constituent materials, must fulfil pure non-flammability criteria and must have a high impermeability. Furthermore, a jacket must allow an operator to be protected under extreme conditions of the accident type, especially by allowing him time to escape. Thus, it is in particular necessary to protect a fireman from the phenomenon of flashover. Flashover is a very rapid transition step in the development of an urban fire and occurs when gases and vapors present in a room reach a temperature of 500 to 600� C. and suddenly burst into flames. In a fraction of a second, the temperature rises from 500 to 1000� C., corresponding to an incident heat flux of about 40 kW/m2. It is necessary for an operator to be able to withstand this sudden temperature increase for long enough to allow him to move away from the heat source. It is known how to produce a textile complex allowing these objectives to be achieved. Such a textile complex comprises an outer protective fabric made of a non-flammable material, for example based on aramid meta-aramid or polyamideimide fiber. This fabric incorporates thermal protection properties, provides mechanical strength in terms of abrasion and tear resistance, and has undergone a water-repellency treatment in order to make water and chemical liquids in general to run off it as beads. Behind this protective fabric is an impermeable but breathable membrane, generally attached to a textile surface giving it mechanical strength, letting through the water vapor resulting, for example, from the transpiration of the wearer, but not water in its liquid form. Furthermore, this membrane provides a windbreak effect, which contributes to the thermal insulation of the jacket by reducing the rate of penetration of the heat flux. Placed under the membrane is thermal insulation consisting of a three-dimensional knit, like that described in document EP 0 443 991, or of a felt capable of trapping air, as described in document EP 0 364 370. This thermal insulation is generally sewn onto an antisoil lining. Such a jacket has the advantage of providing excellent thermal protection against an extremely high heat flux of 40 kW/m2, with efficiency which is very high, or indeed excessively high since, because of its high insulatability, it does not allow the user to be aware of heat with a heat flux of 0 to 1 kW/m2, corresponding to the normal working conditions for firemen, or to detect potential danger. The overprotected operator, under these conditions, may be led to take ill-considered risks owing to impairment of his perception of the heat flux. Such a jacket is also not very comfortable as it is thick and heavy, and it becomes laden with water, especially in the thermal insulation material, which can, in the event of a sudden temperature rise, result in this water vaporizing and possibly burning the operator. Furthermore, when the jacket is wetted, after work in a wet environment, or after it is washed, the felt or knit absorbs a great deal of water, which requires a lengthy drying operation during which the jacket cannot be used. FIGS. 1 and 2 show two graphs illustrating the behavior of various complexes intended for producing garments for firemen, taking account of the European Standard EN 469. FIG. 1 illustrates the change in the heat transmission factor TF% which is the ratio of the heat flux that has passed through the product to the incident heat flux Q0. The incident heat flux is the heat flux generated by a heat source to which the sample is exposed. FIG. 2 illustrates the change in the alerting time T.12 as a function of the incident heat flux Q0. The alerting time is the time after which the wearer becomes painfully aware of the heat. It is sought to obtain a T.12 of about 15 seconds for an incident flux of 40 kW/m2. The various curves shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 were obtained by taking measurements on the following products or complexes, using the method in the standard EN 366 as described in its draft revision CEN/TC162/WG2/N266 of27/01/97: A=leather B=leather+cotton lining C=leather+wool lining D=woven+membrane+90 g/m2 nonwoven+120 g/m2 lining E=woven+membrane+220 g/m2 knit+120 g/m2 lining F=woven+membrane+120 g/m2 felt+120 g/m2 lining. As examples, the following products were used: Woven: a woven of reference 4781 from DMC Tissus Techniques, 2/1 twill, 195 g/m2, made of Nomex� Delta TA from Dupont de Nemours, a mixture of 75% meta-aramid fibers, 23% para-aramid fibers and 2% anti-static fibers. Membrane: Reference 89/55 from Proline, an impermeable but breathable microporous membrane made of fire-retardant polyurethane, about 40 g/m2, laminated to a Sontara� Nomex� SL type E-89 nonwoven, a mixture of meta-aramid and para-aramid, about 90 g/m2. Lining: a woven of reference 4948 from DMC Tissus Techniques, cloth, 120 g/m2, made of Nomex�/Viscose FR, a mixture of 50% meta-aramid fibers and 50% bulk-fire-retardant viscose fibers. Non-woven: Sontara� Nomex� SL Type E-89, a mixture of meta-aramid and para-aramid, about 90 g/m2. Knit: a three-dimensional knit of reference AR220 from TTI, 220 g/m2, made of Nomex� T450, 100% meta-aramid. Felt: a needle-punched felt from DUFLOT, 120 g/m2, made of Nomex�, 100% aramid. These various curves summarize perfectly the advantages and disadvantages of the various known jackets given above. The object of the invention is to provide a textile complex for producing garments, which is lightweight and comfortable, which, under the usual operating conditions (flux from 0 to about 1 kW/m2), transmits heat relatively well (corresponding to a high TF%) and rapidly alerts the operator to the presence of danger (corresponding to a low T.12) and which, under critical conditions, such as a heat flux resulting from a flashover phenomenon (a flux of about 40 kW/m2), provides, over a sufficient period of time and in accordance with the standards, a high degree of insulation (i.e. a low TF%) so as to ensure that the operator has a reasonable time in which to escape. Furthermore, this complex, when wet, must be able to be rapidly dried. For this purpose, the textile complex of the invention, of the type comprising at least one textile web or fabric, made of a non-flammable material, intended to form the outer face of the complex, and a comfort and antisoil lining intended to form the inner face of the complex, is characterized in that on the inner face of the fabric and/or on the outer face of the lining there are ribs of textile material having approximately the same orientation and fastened by bonding to the fabric and/or to the lining during its manufacture, in order to form an integral part thereof, and defining air-filled channels between the fabric and the lining. The ribs define, with the lining on the one hand, and that wall of the complex which faces the liner on the other, channels which are filled with air. This air is not static but can circulate, insofar as it is not trapped by a tight knit as is the case, for example, with structures of the three-dimensional knit or mesh type. Thus, under normal operating conditions (a heat flux of 0 to 1 kW/m2), there is no water retention in these channels nor is the air greatly overheated. On the other hand, when there is a very sudden temperature rise (for example a heat flux of about 40 kW/m2), the amount of air within the channels defined by the ribs constitutes thermal insulation which is sufficient, and which satisfies the EN 469 standard, to allow the operator to move away from the dangerous location. This simplicity of structure contributes to the lightness of the garment obtained, and consequently to its comfort. The latter is enhanced by the circulation of air in the channels, which promotes the evaporation of sweat absorbed by the lining. Indeed it is known that, in order to assist the thermoregulation of the body, it is absolutely paramount to allow the sweat to evaporate. When the body temperature rises, the transpiration mechanism comes into play in order to cool the body by evaporation of the sweat. If the sweat cannot evaporate and so builds up in the form of liquid in the various textile layers, the thermoregulating mechanism of sweating is neutralized and the body temperature continues to rise. These characteristics, on the one hand, improve the thermoregulation of the operator's body and reduce the thermal stress and, on the other hand, make it easier for the garment to be dried when it has become wet, during firefighting, or so as to clean it, since, because of its very reduced structure, the ability of the invention to absorb and store water amounts to practically that of the lining supporting the ribs, compared with that of a felt which acts like a sponge. The main drawback of the current complexes, such as three-dimensional knits or felts, is precisely their low propensity to allow evaporation of the transpiration. They have, on the contrary, a tendency to absorb moisture and to store it. Advantageously, the ribs are made of a material which compresses little with an increase in heat. This makes it possible to maintain a volume of insulating air sufficient to provide protection, including under the effect of a high heat flux (for example about 40 kW/m2). According to a first embodiment of this complex, each rib is made from heat-stable fibers, such as para-aramid fibers. Advantageously, in this case each rib is formed by a combination of yarns assembled together, for example two Nm 8/2 folded yarns twisted together. Such a structure is less compressible than a yarn of equivalent titer composed of a single ply. According to one possibility, again in the case of this type of rib, each rib is fastened to the lining by bonding using the threads of this lining during the manufacture of the latter. In order to provide a sufficient volume of air between the ribs, the thickness of each rib is greater than 0.3 mm and preferably between 1 and 10 mm, and the spacing of the ribs is greater than 2 mm and preferably between 2 and 15 mm. In order to encourage the air to circulate, in the case of a garment produced from such a textile complex, like that which has just been defined, the ribs and the channels that they define have a longitudinal overall orientation with respect to the garment, and especially a vertical orientation in the case of a jacket, encouraging the air to circulate by the natural phenomenon of convection. It is possible to provide, between the outer protective fabric and the lining, an impermeable but breathable membrane letting water vapor through but not water in liquid form, this membrane also having a windbreak effect favorable to thermal protection. In any case the invention will be fully understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawings showing, by way of non-limiting examples, an embodiment of this textile complex and an embodiment of a jacket obtained using this complex: FIG. 1 shows a series of curves illustrating the change in heat transmission factor TF% as a function of the incident heat flux Q0; FIG. 2 shows a series of curves illustrating the change in the alerting time T.12 as a function of the incident heat flux Q0; FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the various constituent layers of the complex; FIG. 4 is a sectional view of this complex transverse to the ribs that the latter has; FIG. 5 is a partially cut-away perspective view of part of a jacket produced from the complex of FIGS. 1 and 2. The complex shown in the drawing comprises an outer protective fabric 2 made of a non-flammable material, consisting of a woven of reference 4781 from DMC Tissus Techniques, 2/1 twill, 195 g/m2, made of Nomex� Delta TA from Dupont de Nemours, a mixture of 75% meta-aramid fibers, 23% para-aramid fibers and 2% anti-static fibers. Placed against this outer fabric is an impermeable but breathable membrane consisting of the reference 89/55 from Proline, an impermeable but breathable microporous membrane made of fire-retardant polyurethane, approximately 40 g/m2, laminated to a Sontara� Nomex� SL Type E-89 nonwoven, a mixture of meta-aramid and para-aramid, about 90 g/m2. Finally, the complex includes a lining 4 consisting, for example, of a woven of reference 4948 from DMC Tissus Techniques, 120 g/m2 cloth, made of Nomex�/Viscose FR, a mixture of 50% meta-aramid fibers and 50% bulk-fire-retardant viscose fibers. Fastened to the lining 4, on the side facing the membrane 3, is a series of parallel continuous ribs 5 having a surface density of 70/80 g/m2, consisting in the present case of an Nm 8/2/2 strand of 100% para-aramid fibers (a two-ply Nm 8/2 folded yarn). If the lining consists of a woven, the ribs are bonded to the woven during weaving, by a particular change in some of the ground yarns of said woven. It should be pointed out that, in the complex shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the layers 2, 3 and 4 are generally not joined together but merely juxtaposed. However, it is quite possible for some of these layers, for example in the case of specific requirements, to be joined together by bonding. The thickness of each rib is about 1 mm and the spacing of the ribs is about 10 mm. FIG. 5 shows a jacket 6 which is produced from the textile complex as defined and in which the ribs 5 are oriented vertically. The curves in FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the behavior of a complex I according to the invention. This complex has the advantage, compared with certain existing complexes, of being lighter and more pliant, the ribs 5 advantageously replacing a felt intended to trap air. These ribs are lighter and more pliant than a felt or than a three-dimensional knit. The water absorbtivity of these ribs is very small compared with such a felt or three-dimensional knit, thereby greatly limiting the phenomenon of pumping and storing the sweat in the garment. Thus, the ability of the insulating complex of the invention to pump and store water amounts virtually to that of the lining used as support for the ribs, which, in its embodiment as described above, represents 2.5 times its dry weight. In comparison, that of the complex F using a felt, which acts like a sponge, is 10 times its dry weight. Kept at a certain distance from the membrane by the ribs, the lining serving as a support for the complex of the invention is converted into a surface for exchange of the sweat (which it absorbs) with the air circulating in the channels formed by these said ribs, increasing the rate of evaporation and allowing the body to thermoregulate itself far more rapidly. The onset of thermal stress is thus delayed or even eliminated, especially under the usual working conditions (0-1 kW/m2). This low water absorbtivity of the complex according to the invention also has the advantage of limiting the risk of the wearer being burnt by vaporization of the water trapped in the jacket in the event of exposure to a sudden heat flux. The invention also avoids the aspect of the garment becoming heavier in use, a factor that aggravates thermal stress. Indeed, recent physiological studies have demonstrated that the weight of textile firefighting jackets for firemen has a direct influence on the thermal stress caused. From the protection standpoint, the volume of air retained in the channels ensures satisfactory thermal insulation while limiting rapid transmission of heat under critical conditions (a flux of about 40 kW/m2). The structure of this complex also ensures good sensitivity to heat under normal operating conditions, and therefore a short alerting time T.12, because of its low surface density as shown in FIG. 2. This alerting time under normal conditions approaches that of the leather+lining complexes recognized as being safer than conventional textile complexes which are too insulating (curves E and F). It is apparent from FIG. 1 that, in terms of thermal conduction and of non-confinement of the heat, the complex according to the invention provides good comfort at low energy, 0 to 1 kW/m2 (normal working conditions) comparable to that of the leather+lining complexes recognized as posing few problems in terms of thermal stress, which means a relatively high TF% (good heat transmission). On the other hand, for a high incident heat flux (about 40 kW/m2), it has a low heat transmission factor TF% (good insulation), comparable to that of the much heavier complexes which are less comfortable and retain water much more. The comfort of this complex in terms of reducing thermal stress is also expressed by a particularly low Ret (evaporative resistance) compared with the existing products on the market. The more the complex of the jacket allows effective evaporation of the sweat, which means that it will have a low evaporative resistance, the better the body will be able to thermoregulate and itself avoid accidents. The table below gives the Ret values of the various complexes in FIG. 1 (measured according to the EN 31092 standard): C: 85.0 m2.Pa/W D: 26.7 m2.Pa/W E: 28.5 m2.Pa/W F: 31.0 m2.Pa/W I: 25.6 m2.Pa/W. This classification changes in parallel with the T.12 which illustrates the thermal sensitivity of the complex. This therefore gives two advantages in terms of comfort by combining low thermal insulation (low heat storage) under normal conditions and good evaporation, hence a major advance in terms of reducing the risk of thermal stress. As goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the single embodiment of this textile complex nor to its single application to the production of a jacket; on the contrary, it encompasses all variants thereof. Thus, in particular, the lining could be made of a material other than a fabric, it could be combined with a membrane or with a film, the ribs could be discontinuous and/or could be made of another material, such as silicone, or could be fastened by means other than by bonding or stitching to the lining, or the complex could consist of two layers not bonded together, such as a pair of trousers and a pair of overtrousers, on the inner face of which there would be ribs, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention.

10 years later this is still really cool. I've been using if for a while now and there is one small issue I've seen. If you have a list of numbers, say 1,2,3 ... 39999,40000 and run it through num2range, you'll get the following back: "1-32768,32769-40000" instead of "1-40000". I'm guessing this is because you can't have more than 32k captures in a regex? In reply to Re: List-to-Range generation
