Ok, let me break this down for you guys. Nagato used to be very similar to Naruto. He was very kind of heart, forgiving, brave, and loving. This inspired Jiraiya to the point where he wrote the Gutsy Ninja about him, obviously not knowing Naruto would actually be prophetically born. Unfortunately for Nagato, he lost faith in the inherent goodness of humanity, instead choosing only to see our dark side.
Before Nagato became the evil bastard that we know and love today, he truly believed in his heart that love and dedication to peace on an individual level would eventually save the world. Jiraiya realized the profoundness of that thought and chose to believe in it himself, thus dedicating his entire life to it.
Since Naruto believed in Jiraiya wholeheartedly much like Jiraiya believed in Nagato, he also believes in the power of peace, love, persistence and forgiveness to change the hearts and minds of others, thus bringing real change to the (ninja) world.
What I think a lot of you guys are failing to understand is that Nagato was the original philosopher behind Jiraiya and Naruto's ideologies.
When Naruto spoke to Nagato about the Gutsy Ninja, it reminded him that he too was once a "Gutsy Ninja" too, and that there was nothing forcing him to continue along his evil path.
I think the fact that Naruto essentially forgave Nagato for everything he did (I'm sure he thinks Hinata is dead), forced Nagato to reconsider the philosophy that he originally created and Jiraiya taught to Naruto. After all, it's gotta be hard to spare the life of the guy who destroyed your village, but Naruto manned up and showed to Nagato that
"the day will truly come when people change"
I know a lot of you guys thought this chapter sucked, but I thought it was pretty deep.

Volume 106, Issue 9, 02 March 2015
Index of content:
Using e-beam nanolithography, the current injection/transport area in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) was confined into a narrow linear structure with a minimum width of 50 nm. This caused suppression of Joule heating and partial separation of polarons and excitons, so the charge density where the electroluminescent efficiency decays to the half of the initial value (J0 ) was significantly improved. A device with a narrow current injection width of 50 nm exhibited a J0 that was almost two orders of magnitude higher compared with that of the unpatterned OLED.
Origins of low energy-transfer efficiency between patterned GaN quantum well and CdSe quantum dots
View Description Hide DescriptionFor hybrid light emitting devices (LEDs) consisting of GaN quantum wells and colloidal quantum dots, it is necessary to explore the physical mechanisms causing decreases in the quantum efficiencies and the energy transfer efficiency between a GaN quantum well and CdSe quantum dots. This study investigated the electro-luminescence for a hybrid LED consisting of colloidal quantum dots and a GaN quantum well patterned with photonic crystals. It was found that both the quantum efficiency of colloidal quantum dots on a GaN quantum well and the energy transfer efficiency between the patterned GaN quantum well and the colloidal quantum dots decreased with increases in the driving voltage or the driving time. Under high driving voltages, the decreases in the quantum efficiency of the colloidal quantum dots and the energy transfer efficiency can be attributed to Auger recombination, while those decreases under long driving time are due to photo-bleaching and Auger recombination.
Dependence of the saturable absorption of graphene upon excitation photon energy
View Description Hide DescriptionUsing an optical parametric oscillation laser as the excitation source, the dependence of the saturable absorption of multiple-layer graphene upon photon energy is investigated and, in all cases, the saturation intensity is lower for lower excitation photon energy. This result experimentally proves the hourglass shape of the energy band of graphene, which is a well-known theoretical deduction from first principles. The modulation depth increases from 1.5% to 5.1% when the layer number increases from a monolayer to 5–7 layers and, at the same time, the saturation intensity decreases with increasing number of layers. The results demonstrate that, as a saturable absorber of a pulsed laser, graphene can more easily achieve optical modulation in the low energy region, i.e., the infrared waveband.
Electroluminescence from GeSn heterostructure pin diodes at the indirect to direct transition
View Description Hide DescriptionThe emission properties of GeSn heterostructure pin diodes have been investigated. The devices contain thick (400–600 nm) Ge 1− y Sn y i-layers spanning a broad compositional range below and above the crossover Sn concentration y c where the Ge 1− y Sn y alloy becomes a direct-gap material. These results are made possible by an optimized device architecture containing a single defected interface thereby mitigating the deleterious effects of mismatch-induced defects. The observed emission intensities as a function of composition show the contributions from two separate trends: an increase in direct gap emission as the Sn concentration is increased, as expected from the reduction and eventual reversal of the separation between the direct and indirect edges, and a parallel increase in non-radiative recombination when the mismatch strains between the structure components is partially relaxed by the generation of misfit dislocations. An estimation of recombination times based on the observed electroluminescence intensities is found to be strongly correlated with the reverse-bias dark current measured in the same devices.
Big data in reciprocal space: Sliding fast Fourier transforms for determining periodicity
View Description Hide DescriptionSignificant advances in atomically resolved imaging of crystals and surfaces have occurred in the last decade allowing unprecedented insight into local crystal structures and periodicity. Yet, the analysis of the long-range periodicity from the local imaging data, critical to correlation of functional properties and chemistry to the local crystallography, remains a challenge. Here, we introduce a Sliding Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) filter to analyze atomically resolved images of in-situ grown La5/8Ca3/8MnO3 (LCMO) films. We demonstrate the ability of sliding FFT algorithm to differentiate two sub-lattices, resulting from a mixed-terminated surface. Principal Component Analysis and Independent Component Analysis of the Sliding FFT dataset reveal the distinct changes in crystallography, step edges, and boundaries between the multiple sub-lattices. The implications for the LCMO system are discussed. The method is universal for images with any periodicity, and is especially amenable to atomically resolved probe and electron-microscopy data for rapid identification of the sub-lattices present.
Hopping conduction and piezoelectricity in Fe-doped GaN studied by non-contacting resonant ultrasound spectroscopy
View Description Hide DescriptionUsing the antenna-transmission acoustic-resonance technique, we measured temperature dependencies of mechanical resonance frequencies and attenuation of an Fe-doped GaN. A strong internal-friction peak appears during temperature change, at which reduction in frequency occurs. The peak temperature rises as frequency increases, indicating the phonon-assisted hopping conduction of carriers between Fe centers. The Arrhenius plot yields the activation energy of the hopping conduction to be 0.23 ± 0.05 eV. The frequency reduction of a quasi-plane-shear resonance mode yields the piezoelectric coefficient e 15 = 0.332 ± 0.03 C/m2.
Lateral buckling and mechanical stretchability of fractal interconnects partially bonded onto an elastomeric substrate
View Description Hide DescriptionFractal-inspired designs for interconnects that join rigid, functional devices can ensure mechanical integrity in stretchable electronic systems under extreme deformations. The bonding configuration of such interconnects with the elastomer substrate is crucial to the resulting deformation modes, and therefore the stretchability of the entire system. In this study, both theoretical and experimental analyses are performed for postbuckling of fractal serpentine interconnects partially bonded to the substrate. The deformation behaviors and the elastic stretchability of such systems are systematically explored, and compared to counterparts that are not bonded at all to the substrate.
Realization of a reversible switching in TaO2 polymorphs via Peierls distortion for resistance random access memory
View Description Hide DescriptionTransition-metal-oxide based resistance random access memory (RRAM) is a promising candidate for next-generation universal non-volatile memories. Searching and designing appropriate materials used in the memories becomes an urgent task. Here, a structure with the TaO2 formula was predicted using evolutionary algorithms in combination with first-principles calculations. This triclinic structure (T-TaO2) is both energetically and dynamically more favorable than the commonly believed rutile structure (R-TaO2). The metal-insulator transition (MIT) between metallic R-TaO2 and T-TaO2 (band gap: 1.0 eV) is via a Peierls distortion, which makes TaO2 a potential candidate for RRAM. The energy barrier for the reversible phase transition is 0.19 eV/atom and 0.23 eV/atom, respectively, suggesting low power consumption for the resistance switch. The present findings about the MIT as the resistance-switch mechanism in Ta-O system will stimulate experimental work to fabricate tantalum oxides based RRAM.
Active control of membrane-type acoustic metamaterial by electric field
View Description Hide DescriptionBy employing a metal-coated central platelet and a rigid mesh electrode which is transparent to acoustic wave, we show that the membrane-type acoustic metamaterials (MAMs) can be easily tuned by applying an external voltage. With static voltage, the MAM's eigenfrequencies and therefore the phase of the transmitted wave are tunable up to 70 Hz. The MAM's vibration can be significantly suppressed or enhanced by using phase-matched AC voltage. Functionalities such as phase modulation and acoustic switch with on/off ratio up to 21.3 dB are demonstrated.
Tunable directivity in metamaterials with reconfigurable cell symmetry
View Description Hide DescriptionWe introduce a strategy to attain reconfigurable, highly focused, subwavelength wave patterns in cellular metamaterials via electromechanical tuning of their microstructures. The metamaterial cells feature a population of auxiliary microstructural elements instrumented with piezoelectric patches connected to negative capacitance shunting circuits. By tuning the circuital characteristics of selected subsets of shunts, we relax the symmetry of the cell material property landscape, thus affecting the global directivity and enabling a plethora of wave manipulation capabilities. The acoustic reconfiguration is decoupled from other mechanical functions and is carried out without affecting the shape or the static properties of the host cellular structure.
Electronic band structure of ZnO-rich highly mismatched ZnO1−xTex alloys
View Description Hide DescriptionWe synthesized ZnO 1−xTex alloys with Te composition x < 0.23 by using pulsed laser deposition. Alloys with x < 0.06 are crystalline with a columnar growth structure while samples with higher Te content are polycrystalline with random grain orientation. Electron microscopy images show a random distribution of Te atoms with no observable clustering. We found that the incorporation of a small concentration of Te (x ∼ 0.003) redshifts the ZnO optical absorption edge by more than 1 eV. The minimum band gap obtained in this work is 1.8 eV for x = 0.23. The optical properties of the alloys are explained by the modification of the valence band of ZnO, due to the anticrossing interactions of the localized Te states with the ZnO valence band extended states. Hence, the observed large band gap reduction is primarily originating from the upward shift of the valence band edge. We show that the optical data can be explained by the band anticrossing model with the localized level of Te located at 0.95 eV above the ZnO valence band and the band anticrossing coupling constant of 1.35 eV. These parameters allow the prediction of the compositional dependence of the band gap as well as the conduction and the valence band offsets in the full composition range of ZnO 1−xTex alloys.
Ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum well
View Description Hide DescriptionWe report the observation of an electron gas in a SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum well with maximum mobility up to 240 m2/Vs, which is noticeably higher than previously reported results in silicon-based structures. Using SiO, rather than Al2O3, as an insulator, we obtain strongly reduced threshold voltages close to zero. In addition to the predominantly small-angle scattering well known in the high-mobility heterostructures, the observed linear temperature dependence of the conductivity reveals the presence of a short-range random potential.
Improving resistance uniformity and endurance of resistive switching memory by accurately controlling the stress time of pulse program operation
View Description Hide DescriptionIn this letter, the impact of stress time of pulse program operation on the resistance uniformity and endurance of resistive random access memory (RRAM) is investigated. A width-adjusting pulse operation (WAPO) method which can accurately setup and measure switching time is proposed for improving the uniformity and endurance of RRAM. Different from the traditional single pulse operation (TSPO) method in which only one wide pulse is applied in each switching cycle, WAPO method utilizes a series of pulses with the width increased gradually until a set or reset switching process is completely finished and no excessive stress is produced. Our program/erase (P/E) method can exactly control the switching time and the final resistance and can significantly improve the uniformity, stability, and endurance of RRAM device. Improving resistance uniformity by WAPO compared with TSPO method is explained through the interdependence between resistance state and switching time. The endurance improvement by WAPO operation stems from the effective avoidance of the overstress-induced progressive-breakdown and even hard-breakdown to the conductive soft-breakdown path.
High magnetic-refrigeration performance of plate-shaped La0.5Pr0.5Fe11.4Si1.6 hydrides sintered in high-pressure H2 atmosphere
View Description Hide DescriptionLa(Fe, Si)13 hydride is regarded as one of the most promising room-temperature refrigerants. However, to use the alloys in an active magnetic regenerator machine, it is vital to prepare thin refrigerants. In this work, a high H2 gas pressure of 50 MPa was employed to suppress the desorption of hydrogen atoms during the sintering process of plate-shaped La0.5Pr0.5Fe11.4Si1.6 hydrides. At 330 K, a high-density sintered thin plate shows a large magnetic-entropy change ΔSm of 15.5 J/kg K (106 mJ/cm3 K) for a field change of 2 T. The volumetric ΔSm is almost twice as large as that of bonded La(Fe,Si)13 hydrides. Favorably, hysteresis is almost absent due to the existence of micropores with a porosity of 0.69% which has been analyzed with high-resolution X-ray microtomography.
Diffusion-limited kinetics of the antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic λ-transition in Fe1−xS
View Description Hide DescriptionFe1−xS (0.08 ≤ x ≤ 0.11) exhibits a simultaneous magneto-structural "λ-transition" at approximately 200 °C. Time-dependent magnetization measurements demonstrate the λ-transition can be accurately modeled by a stretched exponential function, consistent with a nucleation-free, continuous reordering of the vacancy-bearing sublattice. The experimental result is supported by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that confirm the activation energy for the transition to be 1.1 ± 0.1 eV—representing the iron vacancy migration energy in ordered Fe1−xS. A mechanistic understanding of the λ-transition enables potential functional uses of Fe1−xS such as thermally activated magnetic memory, switches, or storage.
Terahertz probes of magnetic field induced spin reorientation in YFeO3 single crystal
View Description Hide DescriptionUsing the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we demonstrate the spin reorientation of a canted antiferromagnetic YFeO3 single crystal, by evaluating the temperature and magnetic field dependence of resonant frequency and amplitude for the quasi-ferromagnetic (FM) and quasi-antiferromagnetic modes (AFM), a deeper insight into the dynamics of spin reorientation in rare-earth orthoferrites is established. Due to the absence of 4f-electrons in Y ion, the spin reorientation of Fe sublattices can only be induced by the applied magnetic field, rather than temperature. In agreement with the theoretical predication, the frequency of FM mode decreases with magnetic field. In addition, an obvious step of spin reorientation phase transition occurs with a relatively large applied magnetic field of 4 T. By comparison with the family members of RFeO3 (R = Y3+ or rare-earth ions), our results suggest that the chosen of R would tailor the dynamical rotation properties of Fe ions, leading to the designable spin switching in the orthoferrite antiferromagnetic systems.
A robust soliton ratchet using combined antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interlayer couplings
View Description Hide DescriptionA sharp magnetic soliton can be created and propagated in a vertical ratchet structure based on magnetic layers with out-of-plane anisotropy using a combination of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interlayer couplings. This allows the use of identical magnetic layers in the stack, which simplifies the implementation of the ratchet compared to schemes which use alternating layer thicknesses. The ratchet behavior is analyzed using an Ising-macrospin approximation and conditions are derived for the propagation of a soliton, which is demonstrated experimentally. Values extracted from the experimental data for the coercivities and interlayer couplings show significant variation, which demonstrates the robustness of the soliton propagation.
Visible light carrier generation in co-doped epitaxial titanate films
View Description Hide DescriptionPerovskite titanates such as SrTiO3 (STO) exhibit a wide range of important functional properties, including ferroelectricity and excellent photocatalytic performance. The wide optical band gap of titanates limits their use in these applications; however, making them ill-suited for integration into solar energy harvesting technologies. Our recent work has shown that by doping STO with equal concentrations of La and Cr, we can enhance visible light absorption in epitaxial thin films while avoiding any compensating defects. In this work, we explore the optical properties of photoexcited carriers in these films. Using spectroscopic ellipsometry, we show that the Cr3+ dopants, which produce electronic states immediately above the top of the O 2p valence band in STO reduce the direct band gap of the material from 3.75 eV to 2.4–2.7 eV depending on doping levels. Transient reflectance spectroscopy measurements are in agreement with the observations from ellipsometry and confirm that optically generated carriers are present for longer than 2 ns. Finally, through photoelectrochemical methylene blue degradation measurements, we show that these co-doped films exhibit enhanced visible light photocatalysis when compared to pure STO.
β phase instability in poly(vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene) thin films near β relaxation temperature
View Description Hide DescriptionThe β phase stability in poly(vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] thin films was studied below 300 K using X-ray diffraction and polarization-electric-field (P-E) hysteresis loops measurements. On as-grown samples, an irreversible partial order-disorder transformation at Tβ ∼ 250 K, namely, the β relaxation temperature, was evidenced by the appearance of an additional X-Ray diffraction peak above Tβ as well as changes on the P-E loops on heating after the first cooling. This order-disorder-like transformation which is attributed to an all-trans order to helical disorder transition is suggested to take place in defect-rich regions like crystal-amorphous interphases and/or crystalline areas with randomly distributed TrFE defect-like units.
Phase characteristics of 0.92Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.08BiAlO3 ceramics
View Description Hide DescriptionThe phase characteristics of 0.92Bi0.5 Na 0.5TiO3-0.08BiAlO3 lead-free ceramics were investigated systematically. The loss tangent of poled sample shows a broad peak when heating to about 80 °C, i.e., depolarization temperature Td. The polarization-electric field hysteresis loops at different temperature exhibit the feature of ferroelectric (FE)- antiferroelectric (AFE) phase transition and the co-existence of FE and AFE phase. The pyroelectric coefficients curve confirms its diffusion behaviors. The initial hysteresis loop and switching current curves under Td indicate the co-existence of FE and AFE phase. The domain morphology of transmission electron microscopy supports the co-existence of FE and AFE phase. Our work not only exhibit that the FE and AFE phase characteristics of 0.92Bi0.5 Na 0.5TiO3-0.08BiAlO3 ceramics but also they may be helpful for further investigation on lead-free ceramics.
Temperature-dependent electro-mechanical actuation sensitivity in stiffness-tunable BaTiO3/polydimethylsiloxane dielectric elastomer nanocomposites
View Description Hide DescriptionStiffness-tunable BaTiO3/polydimethylsiloxane (BT/PDMS) dielectric elastomer composites using dimethylsilicone oil (DMSO) as the stiffness tuner were prepared. Significant improvements in both electromechanical actuation sensitivity (0%–490%) and actuation areal strain (0%–350%) can be observed from BT/PDMS samples with DMSO, which should be mainly contributed to the physical swelling behavior. Under wide testing temperature range, the stiffness-tuned BT/PDMS composite exhibited an excellent thermal stability of both dielectric and mechanical performance. The electromechanical sensitivity of BT/PDMS composite can be effectively tuned higher than that of VHB 4910 acrylics via the addition of DMSO under in vivo temperature range (20 °C–40 °C). This simple way endows PDMS-based composites the higher performance for being applied as implantable dielectric elastomer materials.

Calorie restriction slows aging and increases life span in many organisms. In yeast, a mechanistic explanation has been proposed whereby calorie restriction slows aging by activating Sir2. Here we report the identification of a Sir2-independent pathway responsible for a majority of the longevity benefit associated with calorie restriction. Deletion of FOB1 and overexpression of SIR2 have been previously found to increase life span by reducing the levels of toxic rDNA circles in aged mother cells. We find that combining calorie restriction with either of these genetic interventions dramatically enhances longevity, resulting in the longest-lived yeast strain reported thus far. Further, calorie restriction results in a greater life span extension in cells lacking both Sir2 and Fob1 than in cells where Sir2 is present. These findings indicate that Sir2 and calorie restriction act in parallel pathways to promote longevity in yeast and, perhaps, higher eukaryotes.

Some states hunting with a 50bmg will land ya in jail and your gun confiscated. As for scopes plan on at least 1500$ for a scope that can handle the abuse from the recoil and shock wave from the muzzle. A 50bmg as a first rifle is a fairly unwise choice. Less your putting a bayonet on it. Then you might be ok.

L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
Shoot I wouldn't want to get caught shooting animals with FMJ ammo in many places.
Seriously, why did you pick such an unusual rifle & caliber for your first firearm? Many if not most people start with a .22 or something; what gives?
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Caliber - I think some of the hostility that you are seeing is because of the very unusual position that you have claimed for yourself. These types of posts are GENERALLY those of a teenager who has been playing a lot of video games and wants to "talk shop' with the big boys about guns, so they revert back to their video game knowledge and make some wild assed comment about wanting to protect a mall as their day job with a folding stock A&I in .338 Lapua. The .50BMG is not a hunting round to start with. It was never intended to be a single shot sniper style round, it just morphed into that niche' during Vietnam and the popularity grew since then. If you have done the research, you no doubt understand that a .50 cal projectile is not a stable round until around 150-200 yards from the muzzle. That is how long it takes ( in relative time to distance ) for it to correctly start spinning on it's X axis that it received from the lands and grooves of the bore of the rifle. This type of rifle is for shooting 500-600 yards at a minimum, with a lot of folks buying it for 1,000 yard shooting competitions ( like benchrest ). It's not a weekend, play around type of rifle or caliber. Trying to take an animal the size of a deer with it, provided you are in shape enough to hump it up and down hillsides and get into position, is going to cause a lot of wound trauma. Your final dress out will pretty much be done and you will have all the insides of the animal scattered all over about 30 meters in which the pieces now lay of what you were shooting at. This round was designed as an anti material weapon. Like soft armored machine gun positions for our men and women in uniform. APC's. Things of that nature. The bullets themselves will punch right through steel plates, so the skin and lungs of a deer are not going to provide much resistance, and assuming they make a ballistic tip hunting style round ( and I don't think anyone has ever posted that question ) it's going to be like setting off dynamite in a mailbox. For a weekend, shoot against your buddies and see who can hit beer cans at 600 yards, it's a hell of a weapon and will be fun as hell to shoot. For a hunting weapon you are doing a great bit of harm to the true hunters out there by bringing that much gun to a "sport" that is constantly under attack from the Left. YMMV and best of luck. JD
No, not a teenager I thought the website displayed my age? i'm 23 and also a father, i wish i had time to play some shooters, might learn something! Sure, i will see if i can get it exchanged for a AR-15, or something of that nature, i just hate that this is going to be a 10% restocking fee plus 2 more shipping charges. I will hang on to the scope if it will work on the AR-15, thank you for the suggestion. My initial though was the Ar-50 was a shotgun with much more range, thanks for the information, i will see what i can do about an exchange, the transaction was at budsgunshop.com.
if you want a big bore for deer hunting check out the 458 socom. i use one on deer and it is a beyound superb deer getter. mine is from rock river arms. bullet on the right 5.56nato left is 458 socom
The .50BMG is way too much gun for anything other than military, police, or use by the hardcore benchrest guys. If you want something to look pretty wicked, be affordable to shoot and build, something you can hunt with, and shoot at the range, do your homework on either of the two AR platforms. Either the 10 or 15. Your decision will be narrowed once you have made your choice on what caliber you want it to be in. There are a whole bunch of AR guys on this forum so there is a ton of information to be had. Heck, there is an entire section of the forum dedicated to just that platform. Do research, ask questions, and start building. You will thank yourself in the end for not jumping into a .50BMG wallet drainer that is good for nothing besides poking paper at 800 yards.

Tranmere win battle of the Rovers
The result saw Tranmere, who have now lost just one of their last seven games in all competitions, bounce back from last weekend's 3-0 defeat by Southampton in perfect style. They opened the scoring after 29 minutes when Shaleum Logan set-up Curran to curl a shot into the top left-hand corner of Mikkel Andersen's goal. Les Parry's men put the result beyond doubt in the second half when Zoumana Bakayogo's cross was flicked on by Ian Thomas-Moore for Edds to fire home. Bristol Rovers' best chances fell to Mark Wright and Andrew Williams, but the duo were both denied by goalkeeper Luke Daniels.

Ask a tone-head what makes his Fender Strat or Gibson Les Paul Goldtop sound so good, and there's a good chance the top answer will be "the wood." The acoustic benefits of wood are well known, yet many audiophiles enjoy their music through headphone drivers encased in plastic and metal. Californians Joe Huff and Bridget Hilton believe that this simply won't do, and have created a line of wood-flavored audio products to add that certain something to our personal music enjoyment. The lstn Bowerys are in-ear earphones, the Fillmores are on-ear headphones and the Troubadours are over-ear headphones, and all of the models are offered in beech, cherry or ebony. Gizmag was sent a pair of beech Troubadours for review, so let's find out how they performed. Read More
If you can find one, the new STA333IS digital audio chip and power amplifier from STMicroelectronics (STM) offers a quick and easy solution for converting digital audio into a 10 watt/channel stereo for anything from a boom box to a backyard sound system. Don't misunderstand, they currently are at distributors, selling for about one US dollar apiece. The problem is literally finding the chips. At about one-eighth the volume of a grain of rice and weighing only a few milligrams, drop one on a carpet and its gone for good. Read More
The tropical ecosystems of Costa Rica and Puerto Rico have ears, and have done for some time. These recording stations were put together with iPods and car batteries which each record 144 60-second recordings every day, and transmit them to a web-enabled base station up to 40 km (25 miles) away. From there they're uploaded to a web app with which biologists train a software algorithm to recognize the chirrups, squeaks and caterwauls of the forest's birds, monkeys, frogs and other fauna. It's all in the name of documenting wildlife, to better understand the effects of deforestation and climate change. And according to scientists at the University of Puerto Rico, it sure beats putting boots on the ground. Read More
Not long ago, Buffalo State University music professor Tomás Henriques set out to develop a digital accordion. While that in itself would have been newsworthy, what he ended up creating could ultimately have a lot more significance. Known as the Sonik Spring, Henriques' device may find use not only in the field of music, but also as a means of physical rehabilitation. Read More
Walk into any electronics store and you'll see a wide variety of headphones. From tiny earbuds to high-end cans, they come in all shapes and sizes. They all have one thing in common though: they deliver sound directly to your ears. "Duh," right?

Let's take a look at an accessory that plays your skull like an instrument, Max Virtual's Cynaps bone conduction hat. Read More

In the 1870s, Heinrich Beck founded what would eventually become Beck's Brewery. At about the same time, Thomas Edison was hard at work on creating the first phonograph. It's a safe bet neither man thought the two products would ever merge, but when the New Zealand branch of Beck's wanted to promote a new record label project, the company turned to design agency, Shine Limited to do exactly that. The designers concocted the Edison bottle, a simple glass beer bottle inscribed with music that can be played like a 19th-century phonograph cylinder. Read More
VitaSound has launched a multi-functional audio enhancement device for those who suffer from situational hearing difficulties. The PAE-300 has been designed for folks who don't need a hearing aid, but could do with some help when trying to hold a conversation in a noisy room, or watch television without needing to crank up the volume. It's powered by the intriguing Neuro-Compensator technology, that's said to enforce an optimal electrical signal from the root of the auditory nerve to the brain, resulting in improved audio clarity and a natural listening experience. Gizmag has been sent one for review, but, since my hearing is pretty good, I've recruited my father-in-law, Jean-Jacques, as primary device tester. Read More
Radio plays can transport listeners to far away exotic settings but the BBC's prototype Perceptive Radio aims to give listeners a more localized experience.

The goal is to make listening to the radio more like attending live theater. Read More

Recently, Ghassaei programmed a new code that let her substitute the 3D printer for a laser cutter to carve functional records from wood and other materials. Read More

Stock Futures Rise as GE to Buy Lufkin for $3.3 Billion
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were rising Monday as General Electric (GE) announced a deal Monday to buy Lufkin Industries (LUFK) for $3.3 billion, and investors anticipated the start of earnings season with a report from Alcoa (AA - Get Report).
Futures for the S&P 500 were up 5.25 points, or 3.87 points above fair value, to 1,551.25. The index last week suffered its largest weekly decline of 2013 after a slowdown in jobs growth triggered pessimism about the pace of the U.S. economic recovery.
Lufkin shares were soaring 37.4% in pre-market trading to $87.84 following the announcement that General Electric plans to acquire the Lufkin, Texas-based oil services equipment manufacturer.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 33 points, or 25.75 points above fair value, to 14,517. Futures for the Nasdaq were ahead by 9.75 points, or 7.3 points above fair value, at 2,772.75
Alcoa (AA - Get Report), the aluminum giant, is expected by analysts on Monday to post first-quarter earnings of 8 cents a share on revenue of $5.88 billion after the market closes. That's down from Alcoa's adjusted earnings of 10 cents a share on revenue of $6.01 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Shares were up 0.97% to $8.32 in premarket trading Monday. No major U.S. economic releases were scheduled for Monday. Todd Salamone, vice president of research at Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati, said in a note Saturday that while April began with a whimper, things could have been worse given the amount of uncertainty plaguing the global markets. He said technical support levels remain resilient amid rising skepticism, with bulls still "quietly in control." Meanwhile, his colleague, Rocky White, a quantitative analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research, wrote Saturday that although earnings season is being approached with skepticism, the skepticism suggests that companies will have a lower bar to jump. White's analysis of the most recent weekly sentiment survey released by the American Association of Individual Investors shows that 35.5% of investors are bullish, which also indicates some pessimism from investors. This "is good news for the upcoming earnings season." The DAX in Germany was higher by 0.27% and the UK FTSE 100 was up 0.36%. The Nikkei 225 in Japan closed ahead by 2.8% and the Hong Kong Hang Seng index finished down 0.04% on Monday as Chinese stocks got hit by bird flu worries. May crude oil futures were rising 71 cents to $93.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was unchanged at a yield of 1.714% and the dollar was rising 0.18% to $82.64 according to theCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

When I was in the Army I was told I couldn't wear a yarmulke (kippah) that religious Jewish males are wont to wear. But Congressman Steve Solarz, who has died recently, opened the door for me so I could--though peer pressure, truth be told, I never followed through. What a big wimp I was. Of Helmets and Yarmulkes - Forward - Jewish Ideas Daily Now it's amazing to consider places like West Point will in just a few years have clubs geared just to gay and lesbian cadets, now that Don't ask... has been abolished. What a difference a few decades make! I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Why not simply rejoice? Take pride in the fact that you were on the vanguard and that your actions and the actions of Steve Solarz and countless other brave people made it possible for others who are "different" to become acceptable. Maybe some day the world will understand that we are all "different" in many ways, both obvious and non-obvious, and yet none of makes us wrong or less equal - it just makes us a variation of the same thing - human.
My disgust with the Double Standard started when I was a teenager and the "little hats" as I called them back then was one of my first gripes some of the Catholics and Protestents on the streets used laugh and make fun of the jewish guys that would wear them then Ash Wednesday would roll around and the Catholics would walk around in public all day long with dirt plastered all over their foreheads, if someone laughed at them they would want to fight them. I always thought the Little Hats looked a lot better than ashes all over your face. I'm a "Dirty Protestent" as we were called back then, according to Father Finnigan there was no way I was ever going to heaven and neither was any Catholic girl that married me. Jesus
Good story and sometimes a hero's recognition time comes at a later date. society moves ever closer to equality for all ... amazing that it takes so long but at least we move forward and not backwards.

Connecting People, Practices, and Pedagogies
Pre-Symposium Workshops
Getting started in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
Janice Miller-Young, Ph.D. and Michelle Yeo, Ph.D.
Mount Royal University
Participants will:
- Learn what SoTL is and how to get started,
- Discuss conceptual and theoretical frameworks that can inform their study,
- Discuss a variety research questions related to student learning,
- Explore different approaches and methods for generating and analyzing data,
- Think through ethical considerations involved in SoTL.
This 3 hour session will be a combination of plenary presentations and small group activities. After a brief introduction to the scholarship of teaching and learning, participants will work in small groups led by facilitators as they identify something in their teaching practice that they are curious about. Different possibilities for data, methods, and approaches will be presented as individuals have a chance to see what features seem to fit their orientation and research question, along with discussion of the "fallacies of SoTL" (Grauerholz and Main). Common ethical dilemmas will be explored through case studies. An ethical matrix (TLI 1.2) will help participants think through ethical concerns.
I Have Qualitative Data; Now What?
Deb Bennett, Ph.D. and Karen Manarin, Ph.D.
Mount Royal University
Participants will:
- Discuss approaches, methods and methodology,
- Practice analyzing data qualitatively,
- Develop strategies for moving from data to evidence,
- Explore dissemination options.
This 3 hour session will be a combination of plenary presentations and small group activities. Participants will discuss methods and methodology that are relevant for their research question and/or data. Depending on participant interest, various methodologies will be explored. These approaches could include traditional approaches of grounded theory and case study, the interpretive approaches, critical theory, quantitative approaches and experimental designs. Participants in small groups, will have the opportunity to practice analyzing data. Participants will also be led through strategies to move from data to evidence.
Designing Quantitative Research in SoTL
Augusto Legaspi, Ph.D. (Bow Valley College)
Tim Loblaw, M.Ed. (Bow Valley College)
Wendy Buick, MSt. (Bow Valley College)
Marjorie Contenti, M.Ed (Bow Valley College)
The systematic study of teaching and/or learning builds upon our disciplinary epistemologies (McKinney, 2007; Potter, 2008). Kreber (2002) suggests that SoTL is informed by the same standards as
disciplinary scholarship. Yet for disciplines where quantitative data are emphasized, the fit between SoTL and quantification may not seem apparent. This hands-on workshop walks participants
through the process of designing SoTL research where quantification is preferable given the research question, but using correlational and quasi-experimental designs. Following the steps in
designing research, participants will go through a case-study, and then design a research project based on a question or topic of their interest.
Given that SoTL involves students and teachers in the natural classroom settings, practical and ethical issues must be considered. Workshop participants will examine potential sources of data;
reliability and validity issues; control; data analysis; and the limits in attributing causal relationships (McKinney, 2007). In promoting high ethical standards of conduct in research involving
humans (Canadian Institutes of Health Research et al., 2010), participants will also explore ethical issues of SoTL research.
This workshop is for early-career SoTL researchers who may or may not have a research background. The goals of this interactive workshop are such that participants will a) appreciate the criteria
necessary to build a quantitative-based research design, and b) be able to create a quantitative-based research design based on their specific SoTL research question. This will help participants
set the foundation for a quantitative-based SoTL research they can pursue after the workshop.

Vt. Catholic Church settles abuse casesBy KEVIN O'CONNOR
STAFF WRITER | January 09,2013Three years after paying more than $20 million to close almost 30 priest misconduct lawsuits, Vermont's Catholic Church settled a dozen new cases Wednesday just minutes before the first was set for trial.
The state's largest religious denomination had hoped to rid itself of nearly a decade of lurid headlines and legal headaches in 2010 when it sold its historic 32-acre Burlington headquarters and 26-acre Colchester Camp Holy Cross to make good with all its then-known accusers. But that settlement didn't preclude other former altar boys and young male churchgoers alleging sexual abuse from filing later lawsuits.
Lawyers for the first of 12 new plaintiffs were scheduled to argue their case in U.S. District Court in Burlington Wednesday at 10 a.m. But attorneys for the statewide Roman Catholic Diocese offered a settlement just minutes before the start of opening statements.
Neither church counsel Thomas McCormick nor Burlington lawyer Jerome O'Neill, representing all but two of the three dozen past and present plaintiffs, would reveal the amount of the settlement.

It's cold and rainy in Washington DC today, but the heat is definitely on!
The winner of the Solar Decathlon will be named tomorrow (Friday) at 8 am EST. It's turned into a real nailbiter with only a few points separating the top four teams. Team California is currently in second place, but anything could happen with tomorrow's announcement of the engineering contest (100 points) and the net metering contest (150 points).
The Today Show will be on hand tomorrow to tape a segment on smart homes that will run the second week of November. We will keep you posted on air date and time.

November 2, 2009 - OAKLAND, CA. - After two weeks of intense competition, design submission and voting, finalists in the PsPrint $10,000 Holiday Card Design Contest have been announced and posted for grand prize voting. Many fantastic designs were entered into the contest during the first two weeks of open entry.

I wanted to focus on the feeling of peace, love and expansiveness that the holidays can evoke at their best. As a very satisfied, long-time customer of PsPrint, I am very pleased to see that they are offering in this forum the opportunity for designers who create alternative cards." stated Gaelyn Larrick. Grand Prize winners will receive $2,000 gift-cards from Apple, HP or Amazon, and printing of 1000 copies of their winning design. 8 runner-up winners will also receive $200 gift cards and 250 copies of their winning design.

Visitors to the contest's finalists galleries from the Best Design and Most Humorous categories will ultimately select the recipients of the grand prizes for each card type. PsPrint's staff will also be selecting a third grand prize winner for the best overall card. "My holiday cards are usually a little offbeat. My clients appreciate that and always look forward to getting them. Sometimes it takes a little while to figure them out, but that's why they like them. I use PsPrint because they offer high-quality printing whether I'm printing 25 or 2,500. I like that flexibility." stated Russ Peterson of PixelGraphics.

Stem Cell Debate Divides NJ Gubernatorial Candidates
July 7, 2008 - 7:03 PM
(CNSNews.com) - The issue of stem cell research has become the latest debate between the candidates running for governor of New Jersey.
While Democrat Jim McGreevey supports federal funding for the research, including the use of embryos, Conservative Republican Bret Schundler opposes embryonic research, supporting those who say the harvesting of these crucial cells destroys embryos, which they regard as human life.
McGreevey, who sits on the National Cancer Advisory Board, sent a letter to President Bush this week calling stem-cell research "the wave of the future in biomedical research."
The letter included that continued federal support for embryonic stem research, "is essential to translate this discovery into novel therapies for a range of serious and intractable diseases."
The letter, citing the potential to "advance in the history of medical science," puts him squarely at odds with a coalition of conservative interest groups, as well as his own Roman Catholic Church.
McGreevey initially sparked New Jersey's infusion into the stem cell debate with his letter, which was distributed to news outlets when the NIH released its report. Schundler immediately responded.
Schundler called on President Bush to increase funding for adult stem cell research, citing this research is important but should not involve the destruction of human embryos.
"There is no need for the federal government to fund other more controversial forms of medical research, like cloning and embryonic stem research, without first exhausting the promises of alternatives which do not raise any serious ethical concerns," he said.
Schundler notes that "Recent scientific studies have shown that adult stem cell research holds the most promise in finding new treatments and cures to some of mankind's most serious infirmities, including various forms of cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's."
He believes that with the proper resources, adult stem cell research can result in "great medical advances in my lifetime."
Richard McGrath, McGreevey's campaign spokesman, says Schundler's position is simply another example of his views "being outside the mainstream."
"Schundler is entitled to his position, but we hope that he is not sacrificing important public health issues due to an extremist ideology," McGrath said.
Grassroots groups in New Jersey, including the Christian Coalition of New Jersey and the New Jersey Right To Life support Schundler's stance on the issue.
The stem cell debate gained national attention nearly two months ago when actor Christopher Reeve and seven scientists filed a federal lawsuit accusing the Bush administration of illegally withholding funding for stem cell research.
The Bush administration is currently reviewing the matter.
