Dynamic symmetry-breaking in a simple quantum model of magneto-electric rectification, optical magnetization, and harmonic generation |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 3, pp. 2910-2924 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1655 KB)
The state mixings necessary to mediate three new optical nonlinearities are shown to arise simultaneously and automatically in a 2-level atom with an ℓ = 0 ground state and an ℓ = 1 excited state that undergoes a sequence of electric and magnetic dipole-allowed transitions. The treatment is based on an extension of dressed state theory that includes quantized electric and magnetic field interactions. Magneto-electric rectification, transverse magnetization, and second-harmonic generation are shown to constitute a family of nonlinear effects that can take place regardless of whether inversion is a symmetry of the initial unperturbed system or not. Interactions driven jointly by the optical electric and magnetic fields produce dynamic symmetry-breaking that accounts for the frequency, the intensity dependence, and the polarization of induced magnetization in prior experiments. This strong field quantum model explains not only how a driven 2-level system may develop nonlinear dipole moments that are forbidden between or within its stationary states, but it also broadens the class of materials suitable for optical energy conversion applications and magnetic field generation with light so as to include all transparent dielectrics.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Private Tour: Elephant Orphanage Sanctuary Day Tour from Kuala Lumpur. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Our Tour guide was "I" and he made this tour special for us! We stopped along the way to see how the rubber sap is taken from the tree and the got to smell the raw rubber. "I" arranged for us to have photos taken with a 7 month old baby Elephant and pat the little One. A definite advantage to having your own guide, he knew all the staff ad where we should be before the crowd moved. It was a wonderful day and "I" made it!
This was amazing just not long enough. Loved every minute. Hi our guide was was very good, very informative and easy to talk to.would love to do it all again!! ☺
Absolutely amazing!!! Feeding and swimming with the elephants was truly incredible. And a special thanks to our tour guide "Ai", who was warm, friendly, and a true professional. His guidance made the day easy and fun the whole time.
A really great tour experienced by my wife and I when we were treated to more of the same jovial attitude when we visited the Elephant Rescue site,again with Ai as the guide. We cannot recommend more highly this tour guide for both his knowledge of the area and his jovial attitude throughout the drive. We have both experienced two fantastic tours with this guide,thanks Ai, and thanks for explaining what those large concrete buildings were on the home journey, getting up close and personal with the Woma's at the little zoo and making our time with the elephants a treat.
Victoria and Wayne NSW Australia
Great guide and tour. We didn't get to bathe the elephants, but it was still great to feed and pet them.
Fabulous tour, great guide, fantastic day.
Fantastic, great for everyone, this private tour is the way to go
A wonderful experience which I would recommend to everyone. The only problem I had was the heat managed to get to me, mainly because I only arrived in KL late the evening before. The guide was wonderful and full of knowledge. Feeding the elephants and watching them swim in the river with their keepers was awesome.
What a fantastic trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful throughout. He went that extra mile to give us some unique experiences and knew where to be at what time to give us the prime spot all day long. This was by far one of the highlights of our brief stay in KL. Highly recommended.
A great day out on private tour with very knowledgeable guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the elephant experience especially washing the baby elephants
I am proud of the tour guide CHE AI from "Tour and Incentive Travel", he is a kind guy, very knowledgeable and with a lot of sense of humour and fun. CHE AI was the tour guide in all the tours we had with "Tour and Incentive Travel" and he is really a high-level profesional, easy going and always willing to assist and making tours very enjoyable!! Congratulations to CHE AI!!
The four tours we took were all very good. The driver were informative. My wife and I enjoyed our self very much thank you. Regard Vic
It was really great tour, the guide was very friendly and helpful. He was great. We really enjoyed seeing the elephants in a natural type environment.
A very special day out and we were well looked after by our personal guide who knew the Sanctuary well and made sure we had the best vantage points for viewing and photos at the correct times.
Outstanding! 'Ai' was a fantastic Tour Guide, very informative, funny and made the tour all the more better.
The Deer Park was good, fed the deers and saw a number of other animals/flora which was great.
Then on to the Elephant Orphanage Sanctuary, what a great experience! You are given the opportunity to feed the Elephants, watch the older Elephants have a bath in the river and watch them do a show. We were extremely lucky that the river wasn't too high and we were able to hop in the river and bathe the Baby Elephants, an unforgettable experience (this can only be done when the river level is low, so don't count on it).
Because of 'Ai', the day wasn't good, it was great!!!!

Dave Karraker, senior director of corporate communications for Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced his resignation from the company exactly one year after replacing former PR boss Molly Smith in September 2006.
Karraker, who will be leaving the company on September 7th, said in an email that his decision to quit was "very difficult." His successor has yet to be announced.
Formally of Allied Demecq Spirits and Wine, Karraker will now be taking up position in familiar territories as head of PR and events for Skyy Spirits from October 1st.
Speaking on his decision to leave SCEA, Karraker told Next-Gen.biz: "I am saddened to leave such a great group of people, but I have been presented a global opportunity near my home in an industry where I have previous experience that I feel I must pursue".
"It has been a wild ride and an incredibly enriching experience. I have enjoyed immensely my tenure at SCEA and think the company and its brands are very well positioned to have an exceptional holiday and a very bright future. I look forward to continuing to follow this industry as a gamer, rather than a spokesperson."
PR boss Dave Karraker quits SCEA

Kill in the name of god?
How about Jesus allegedly calling out "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" (or something along those lines)?
Hitchens died waiting for an answer. He could have lived forever without ever getting a serious answer.
I think that the phrase "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" was actually brought up to him once. It's in a video on youtube, but unfortunately I can neither remember which one nor what his response was
"Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" That phrase, admittedly taken out of context and examined on it's own, seems like a cop out. It seems like the "moral" christian is basically pointing out some immorality, but has yet to actually do anything about it, such as trying to educate the "immoral" people about why what they're doing is wrong. It's the equivalent of yelling, "Look there's someone caught in a fire!" instead of diving into the fire to rescue the victims. Not necessarily wrong, but not really right either.
Again, I'm examining the quote out of context, and with no known circumstances present.
How about Jesus allegedly calling out "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" (or something along those lines)?
That sounds like something that maybe Jesus said (and maybe not--even if he did exist), but it's not something many of his followers practice all that often.
Recognizing that someone is not a "bad person" because they did something out of ignorance is certainly not a uniquely Christian trait, so I certainly wouldn't think of it as something only a Christian could do.
Here WL Craig thinks he has the answer. However while paying tithes or the worship of his god may be actions, they are not "moral actions" which was the question posed by Hitchens. They are all based on the assumption "that god exists" which even the greatest apologist you can conceive of suggested when he started with "if god exists".
"Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."
Take your pick.
God, feed the starving in Sudan.
God, house the victims of this hurricane.
God, forgive them for executing me.
Leprechauns, make this breakfast cereal magically delicious.
The fallacy: calling upon imaginary beings to take imaginary action is moral; belief itself is moral.
Take away the belief and a non-believing man forgives his executioners and calls for others to forgive them.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowWith deep-gray slate accents, a large Machu Picchu panorama, and recessed alcoves with brilliant gold replicas of Inca artifacts, the décor at Ceviche by the Sea is cool and contemporary while honoring its cuisine's heritage.The menu here is not your average Peruvian fare. Although some authentic home recipes appear, the focus is on the growing trend of Peruvian fusion, in which creative chefs blend tried-and-true flavors and ingredients in their own unique dishes. Lomo saltado, a common dish of stir-fried steak with tomatoes, onions, and French fries in a soy-based sauce with white rice, is elevated here.Lomo Saltado del Chef combines high-quality skirt steak with crunchy pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic in a red wine, soy, and vinegar sauce, with parmesan wheat risotto on the side. (The classic edition is available during lunch for $11.) Aji de gallina is another example. For dinner, chef Carlos Delgado stuffs the creamy and spicy chicken inside a ravioli and tops it with aji amarillo alfredo with black olive, cheese, and botija olive chimichurri. This is the laid-back Broward counterpart to all the trendy Miami Peruvian fusion restaurants.

Important dos and don'ts for staying safe during your national park vacation
Jul 23, 2012, 9:08 a.m.
If you're looking for places to go and things to do this summer but you don't quite have the funds to travel overseas, you could do a lot worse than to break out a national park travel guide and explore some of the natural wonders that can be found right in your backyard. Visiting national parks can be a fun, safe way to spend your vacation -- but just because they're regularly patrolled and frequently visited doesn't mean there aren't dangers out there waiting to spoil your holiday. To help you avoid this undesirable turnabout, we've come up with a short but sweet guide to national park safety that spells out a few key dos and don'ts.
Do... keep yourself hydrated. Far too many inexperienced hikers -- as well as some experienced hikers -- neglect to bring along a bottle of water when they set out for their daytrip adventure. As a rule, you should already be drinking 8 glasses of water per day. If you're going to be doing something physical, like hiking or climbing, you should be drinking even more. A bottle of water could save your life, especially if you happen to injure yourself and aren't able to get back to civilization right away.
Don't... go hiking on your own. Always employ the buddy system, especially when taking a particularly long hike. The above referenced scenario of injuring yourself is a prime example of why it's vital to always let someone know where you are, in the unlikely yet possible event that you get hurt and can't get back to safety on your own.
Do... wear the right kind of footwear. There's a lot of walking to be done in national parks, especially since many prohibit the use of motor vehicles. For this reason, and for the sake of your feet, invest in a sturdy pair of hiking boots. Wearing hiking boots can also give you better traction, saving you from potentially painful falls.
Don't... push yourself too hard. Looks can be deceiving in national parks, and what may appear to be an easy trail could end up kicking you in the rear if you're not in good enough shape to tackle it. Your best bet? Start on an easy hike and see how well you do. If you're not drop-dead tired after you've finished it, consider inching up to a higher level. If you take a look at your trusty national park travel guide , you'll find that all hikes are given difficulty ratings, enabling you to choose based on your health and experience.

Malbranque taken to hospital with chest pains
SUNDERLAND midfielder Steed Malbranque was being assessed by doctors tonight after being taken to hospital with chest pains during the game. Malbranque dropped to the turf holding his chest just before half-time at Fratton Park before walking off the pitch. But manager Steve Bruce has confirmed that Malbranque was taken to hospital by paramedics for assessment. It's a strange one, said the Sunderland boss. He got a pain in his chest but he didn't get a whack or anything so we're not too sure. He's away to hospital, I believe, so we'll see how he is. There was no further news on the situation, with Bruce and the Sunderland squad flying back to the North-East from Southampton at 11.30pm.

"Like Oh my god, just come out of there already, it can't be that bad. I'm sure you look great and stuff. Don't make me crawl under the stall, I like totally will you know." Poland began shaking the door knob furiously. You two were out at the mall looking for something formal to wear to a rather important party. The problem was, you had nothing formal to wear, and you'd never had to wear anything as nice as what Poland kept putting you in. "That's it, I'm coming in."
"No, no, I'll open the door." You opened the dressing room door allowing Poland to see the way over styled dress he'd picked out for you. "I don't know, I think something a little more simple might look better."
He nodded in agreement. "You're totally right, that would look way better on me. I'll go find you something else with less sparkle and stuff." Poland ran off to find you yet another dress.
You knew this would never get anywhere with Poland choosing all the outfits. This had been going on way too long as it was. While he wasn't looking you quickly ran over to a dress that you had been wanting to try on for a while now. Poland wouldn't let you try it on because he thought it was too boring and the wrong color. But you liked it and were determined to at least try it on. Before he returned with another dress you knew you'd hate you slipped out of the dress he'd picked and into yours. Just as you expected, you loved it. It showed off all of your best features and hid the parts of you that you weren't that fond of. Not being at all embarrassed about showing off yourself in this dress, you opened the door. Poland was standing there with several other dresses, which he dropped upon seeing you.
"Like wow." His jaw dropped, face flushed. "You look awesome."
You smiled wide and gave the dress a little twirl in front of the mirrors. "Thank you, you know it's the one you hated so much right?"
Poland gave an embarrassed smile. "I guess you should have just ignored me then. You should totally buy this one. Actually, I'll buy it for you, but like only under one condition." He poked out his lips at you.
"Okay, and what would that be?"
"You totally have to be my date for the party, and all night too. You look way to good to be anyone else's date." He took one of your hands in his and kissed your fingers. "So like, do we have a deal or what?"
"It's definitely a deal." After you changed back Poland proceeded to buy your dress.
"I'm going to have the prettiest date at the party. I bet Lithuania will totally be jealous I didn't ask him to go with me. And I only had to buy you a dress." He snickered.
"Actually Poland, I would have gone with you even if you didn't buy me a dress."
He turned and looked at you in a state of shock. "Like what? Then I totally bought you this dress for nothing! That's not fair at all. Now you owe me big time. Like Oh my god I can't believe you tricked me like that." He let out a deep sigh. "I guess now there is like, only one thing I can do. You'll have to be my girlfriend to make up for the dress. So like, get used to it. I guess it's not so bad though, now I have the prettiest girlfriend at the party." Poland placed a sweet kiss on your cheek.

see + do
Istanbul see + do
For visitors to Istanbul, the question is not what one should see in the city, but what one can afford to skip until the next visit. Those on a one- or two-day itinerary should plan for immediate immersion in the historical district, from the majestic palaces and mosques of Sultanahmet to the exotic Oriental alleys of the Grand Bazaar, squeezing in an hour-long hammam treatment to unwind.
Culture fiends who want to go slightly off the beaten path usually head to the quieter Süleymaniye Mosque, the farther-flung Kariye Museum, or the superb Dolmabahçe Palace on the banks of the Bosphorus near Beşiktaş.
For those with a little more time on their hands, İstiklal Caddesithe main pedestrian drag through Beyoğluand its surrounding neighborhoods of Galata, Tünel, and Çukurcuma are ideal for day and night-time wanderings, while art buffs shouldn't miss the neo-industrial structures of the Istanbul Modern and Santral Istanbul, as well as the state-of-the art architecture at the Kanyon Shopping Center.
If Istanbul's bustle and the traffic become too much to bear, take to the water: The serene car-free Princes' Islands are only a short boat trip across the Sea of Marmara, and you really can't top chartering your own private yacht for a Champagne sunset sail up the Bosphorus.

As with any function in math, you can create a graph by choosing x values to substitute and finding their corresponding y values. This process an be much less labor intensive if you choose your x values in a clever way. Since parabolas have key points around the vertex, if we can find the vertex to begin with and use that as the center of the table, we'll be able to see where the parabola has its turning point. The first step is to use x = -b/2a to find the x value of the vertex, and then choose x values on either side of that vertex value. If done correctly, the y values in the table will be symmetric around the vertex. You'll learn more shortcuts with practice.

- Goal:
- $1,250.00
- Achieved:
- $1,581.00
I joined MDA Team Momentum on my 31st birthday because I couldn't imagine a better birthday gift to myself. I started running thanks to my cousin David who the day after Thanksgiving, 2012 encouraged me to get my butt off the couch and go run a mile with him. I had no idea what a love affair this running thing would become. Two years after that first mile, and about a year after my first 5K, I am signing up to run the Boston Michelob Ultra 13.1!
I've worked for MDA for 6 years. Over this time I have met and been inspired some amazing people. It would be impossible for me to say in a few paragraphs how profoundly these people have changed my life. It is an honor and a blessing to know them. There are so many names that I will carry with me on September 14 to remember what it is to fight ALS, SMA, Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, Mitochondrial disease ... too many people who would give anything to run one more day, one more mile - it makes 13.1 miles easy.
I am exceptionally proud to be running this particular race for 3 special boys - Keelan, Caeden, and Devin. These 3 happy, full-of-life, smiley peanuts have Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
What's Duchenne?
Before I started working at MDA I had no idea. So, it's okay if you don't, either.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that primarily affects boys. Females are carriers and most often show no symptoms, so moms-to-be have no idea that they may be passing this on to their sons.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is progressive. DMD gets worse, never better. There are some treatments, and standards of care, that improve quality of life and maintain health for as long as possible, but despite knowing what causes DMD, we still can't cure it.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by an absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. You can't just eat more chicken to make more muscle - boys with DMD don't have the building blocks that they need to make healthy muscle.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is terminal. FOR NOW. Not forever. DMD is curable. I believe this in my heart of hearts. I see every day the progress that researchers and drug companies are making. There has never been a more hopeful time for families fighting Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We know more about DMD, we understand more about how to treat it, and MDA is doing more to fund drug development than ever before. We've been funding DMD research for decades and we are committed to seeing it through to the end.
I am running for Keelan, Caeden, and Devin because they remind me how joyful childhood is and how simple it should be to enjoy the pleasures of being a kid. These boys remind me that some things in this world are completely out of our control, but every person has the chance to step forward and do something good to help someone else.
I am PROUD to work for MDA. I am a part of something bigger than myself and the funds I raise will someday save lives. As we say around here, I am progress.
Thanks for supporting me, my efforts, and MDA Team Momentum. YOU ROCK. So many people raise money for so many things, and I'm flattered that you're thinking about giving to MDA (and that you made it to the end of this page).
ANY amount you can give is appreciated and matters. Your gift makes a real difference - I know, because I see the impact that MDA makes in our community. Hospital clinics that provide unrivaled care, a cutting-edge worldwide research team that leads the way, clinical trials and drug development that could make a real impact on the future of muscle disease - it matters.
On August 28, 2014 I lost a good friend of mine, Todd Ketchum, to ALS. This son, brother, husband, and father of 3 was only 48. I became friends with Todd through MDA and am blessed to have known him as well as his wife, children, family, and friends. What an incredible crew. Todd was a man who could, and would, do ANYTHING. He encouraged me to believe in myself and to try any running goal I set my mind to. I never thanked him properly for his belief in me. He cheered me on and motivated me with his own stories of running (and windsurfing, kiteboarding, fishing, biking ... the list goes on!). Todd's loss is huge. ALS is a terrible disease and is just as cruel as Duchenne. Todd's body failed him as time went on, but his mind stayed sharp. While medicine could help prolong Todd's life, it couldn't keep him with us. Just a few weeks ago he was celebrating my 10-mile "long run" with his family and, upon his passing, his wife encouraged me to run for Todd. Todd, your story is part of mine and I am proud to be carrying you in my heart on race day.
I'll be thinking of you, and thanking you, with every mile. And, please save the date to join me on Sunday, September 14 - I'd love to see you along the route!
My Personal Web Log

CNN — Every weekday morning, we'll hit the top five stories of the day and clue you in on a few other buzzy items.
Buying time:
The only people at almost two dozen U.S. embassies in the Middle East and Africa right now are security guards. A recently intercepted al Qaeda message set off such alarm bells that the U.S. closed 19 embassies and consulates for the rest of the week. At first, the closures were supposed to have been just for Sunday. But tacking on extra days is strategic.
"Once you take targets away, it buys you additional time to try and disrupt, to identify the cell, the operators in country and the region, and ... disrupt the plot"
-- CNN national security analyst Fran Townsend
Still swinging:
Expect an all-out blitz from sports media folks today trying to get a word with A-Rod as he tries to rejoin the Yankees for their game at Chicago. Two sources told CNN that MLB will probably suspend him today. And a bunch of news outlets are saying it could go on until the end of the 2014 season.
The 38-year-old slugger's accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs. He's denied it. "There's more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field," says the guy with the largest contract ever in American sports ($275 million over 10 years).
'Bent on doing evil':
It was a nice summer Saturday evening at a popular spot in Venice Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy an evening out. But then a car pummeled its way across a crowded boardwalk, killing a honeymooning vacationer from Italy and injuring a dozen other people.
One witness said the driver swerved back and forth, trying to hit as many people as possible. Cops have charged a 38-year-old man with murder. But they haven't been able to say why he did it. "There's no indication that he knew anybody that he hit," a police commander said. "It looks like this guy wanted to run over a bunch of people. One guy bent on doing evil."
Tandem jump goes wrong:
It was a routine plunge from thousands of feet in the air. But something tragic happened in the final seconds of the skydive. The 66-year-old instructor and his student jumper, who were free-falling in tandem, never landed at the airport where they were supposed to.
The instructor died. The student's in critical condition with broken bones and head injuries. This happened in southern Mississippi on Saturday. This week, investigators will try to figure out what went wrong. The instructor seems to have cut away the main parachute and deployed a backup.
I'll be back:
It's August 5, which means it's time for San Diego's 70-year-old mayor to begin two weeks of what he describes as "intensive therapy" for inappropriate behavior. Bob Filner will start his sessions knowing yet another woman has accused him of unwanted sexual advances. That's 10 for those keeping count. But the mayor says he's not quitting -- his office, that is.
Those are your five biggies for the day. Here are a couple of others that are brewing and have the Internet buzzing.
The best best man:
Christine Swidorsky and Sean Stevenson were planning to get married next summer. But with her 2-year-old son losing his battle with leukemia, they quickly moved up the date and had a tear-inducing ceremony this weekend. Now, they hope for what would be the ultimate wedding present: a miracle in which their best man, little Logan, gets better.
What is a spelling controversy, Alex?:
"Emanciptation proclamation." That's pretty close, right? You know what he meant. That's what Thomas Hurley III's dad says about his son's mistake during a Kids Week episode of "Jeopardy!"
His son was pretty embarrassed, and the show's staff made it more difficult, Hurley says, by their "smug" reaction. The Internet was not amused. But here's the thing: Even if he'd spelled it right, the 12-year-old would still have come in second.
That's some summer:
Football has been very, very good to Johnny Manziel. And the 20-year-old has been very, very good to football -- and to the gossip websites. Seems the Texas A&M player keeps showing up in more videos or movies than Kim Kardashian. But now he's in a sticky situation that has the potential to end his collegiate career. ESPN reports the NCAA is looking into hundreds of items autographed by the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. The issue: Did he get paid to sign?
Will new Twitter feature help?:
Twitter is rolling out a "Report" abuse button to appear in-tweet on mobile devices and the desktop version of the social media site. The move comes after two women in the UK received multiple rape and death threats. But critics say it may not work.
Powerless to help:
You can hear the 13-year-old boy yelping in pain as his 15-year-old attackers just pummel him on the school bus. But does the 64-year-old bus driver step in to help? No. And, according to his school's policy, the driver did nothing wrong. He's only required to call dispatch for help -- and he did that.
There you go. All you need to know to get an early start to your morning.

Desktop delights
Add a few virtual desktops with this simple program.
Virtual desktops are a great idea if you find yourself with too much happening on your computer screen. These programs come in a variety of versions, from those designed for hard-core geeks to those meant for casual users who don't need a lot of options. Moo0 MultiDesktop falls into the latter category. This simple program lets users add three virtual desktops to their machine with just enough features to make them functional.
The program's interface is plain and intuitive. It appears as an icon in the system tray, and right-clicking on it displays a menu. The program lets users create three additional desktops, and unlike some other programs we've seen, they can't be given unique names; the desktops go by the names 1, 2, 3, and 4. We were happy to find, however, that each desktop could be given its own wallpaper, making each one easy to distinguish when quickly flipping through them. Users can select the hot keys to be used to switch between the desktops, but there's also a small navigation bar that floats on the desktop from which users can choose. We liked it that the navigation bar's transparency could be adjusted, making it handy but unobtrusive. Moo0 MultiDesktop doesn't come with a Help file, but it doesn't really need one, either; it's pretty easy to figure out. Overall, Moo0 MultiDesktop didn't have nearly as many features as some other virtual desktops we've seen, but it is extremely easy to use. This is a good choice even for novices who are trying virtual desktops for the first time.

Published January 26, 2012
Clouds of "cold plasma" reach from the top of Earth's atmosphere to at least a quarter the distance to the moon, according to new data from a cluster of European satellites.
Earth generates cold plasma—slow-moving charged particles—at the edge of space, where sunlight strips electrons from gas atoms, leaving only their positively charged cores, or nuclei.
(Find out how cold plasma might also help explain why Mars is missing its atmosphere.)
Researchers had suspected these hard-to-detect particles might influence incoming space weather, such as this week's solar flare and resulting geomagnetic storm. That's because solar storms barrage Earth with similar but high-speed charged particles.
Still, no one could be certain what the effects of cold plasma might be without a handle on its true abundance around our planet.
"It's like the weather forecast on TV. It's very complicated to make a reasonable forecast without the basic variables," said space scientist Mats André, of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.
"Discovering this cold plasma is like saying, Oh gosh, there are oceans here that affect our weather," he said.
(Related: "'Warm Plasma Cloak' Discovered Enveloping Earth.")
The Trick to Finding Cold Plasma
Researchers already knew that some cold plasma existed in the ionosphere, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface. But few researchers had looked for the clouds between 12,400 and 60,000 miles (20,000 and 100,000 kilometers) high.
(Also see "Pictures: Giant Walls of Plasma Seen on Sun.")
André and his colleague Chris Cully suspected the plasma could be out there, but they knew the positive charge of spacecraft wasn't helping any search efforts.
Similar to the way cold plasma is created, sunlight strips electrons from spacecraft materials, making their hulls positively charged. Like two matching magnetic poles, a spacecraft would simply repulse any cold plasma around it.
To find the stuff, André and Cully instead analyzed anomalies in data from the European Space Agency's Cluster II spacecraft.
This group of four satellites swings around Earth in a highly elliptical orbit. At the orbit's peak, the probes reach nearly halfway to the moon.
The enormous distance gives researchers a chance to sweep through and monitor Earth's magnetic field and electrical activity, including the influence of "hot" charged particles emitted by the sun.
Anomalies in the Cluster II data turned out to be shockwaves from cold plasma particles moving around the satellites.
Cold Plasma a Space Weather "Elephant"
In the end, the pair found that cold plasma makes up between 50 and 70 percent of all charged particles within the farther reaches of Earth's magnetic field.
(Related: "Mini Magnetic Shield Found on the Moon.")
André says it's now time to start updating space-weather models to take the extra cold plasma into account—at this point, for instance, nothing is known about how the plasma might affect solar storms.
This influence is "not a minor thing in space weather," André said. "It's an elephant in the room."
The cold-plasma study has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters.

Staples Center

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Blake Griffin powered his way to 22 points and 16 rebounds, as the Los Angeles Clippers rallied late for a 94-90 win over the Toronto Raptors.
Chris Kaman added 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers, who went a 24-10 run over the game's final 8 1/2 minutes. Griffin had eight points and eight rebounds in the last quarter, when the hosts held a 28-17 scoring advantage.
"Down the stretch we executed and got some stops," Griffin said. "I'm really trying to work on being a better fourth quarter player."
One night after allowing 138 points in a loss to Golden State, the Raptors blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and had their five-game winning streak against the Clippers broken.
Ed Davis had a career-best 21 points to go with 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who lost their fourth in a row. They finished 1-4 on their road trip.
"I thought we battled most of the night, but that's two games in a row that the zone hurt us," Raptors coach Jay Triano said.
Davis' tip-in off a miss from James Johnson gave the Raptors an 88-87 lead, but Griffin came right back with a slam with 1:43 left.
The Clippers didn't relinquish the lead down the stretch. Eric Gordon then blocked Leandro Barbosa's right baseline jumper and hit a three at the other end with a minute remaining.
A layup from DeMar DeRozan had the visitors within a deuce with 21.1 seconds to go, but Mo Williams, who fell on his head on the Gordon block play, sank two free throws for a four-point cushion. That came with 12.6 seconds to go.
Johnson then missed a three-point attempt, sealing Toronto's fate. Griffin failed on two free throw attempts, but Ryan Gomes secured the rebound and LA ran out the remaining 5.8 seconds.
Both teams went 8-of-23 from the field in the opening quarter, resulting in a 21-18 lead for the Raptors after 12 minutes. They led, 44-43 at the half and 73-66 going to the fourth.
"The energy early wasn't great, but we found a way at the end," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "The zone helped us."
Toronto gained its largest lead of 10 at 80-70, but Griffin's slam eventually pushed the Clippers to an 83-82 edge with 4 1/2 minutes remaining.

Enabling quick resume for Windows Phone apps
This article explains how to quickly resume the Windows Phone 8 application which is put in the background.
Fast app resume for Windows Phone 8 (Dev Center)
Windows Phone 8
Whenever your app loses focus (is put in the background), an instance of the app is saved. This instance is used to resume the app if the user tasks to it from a deep link or returns to it by selecting the back button on the foreground app. However if the user relaunches the app by selecting its icon on the start screen, by default the stored instance is removed and it is started from scratch.
On Windows Phone 8, Fast App Resume is a way to force a relaunch to use the saved instance rather than fully restart the app. This is much faster. This is not enabled by default and you will need to enable it in order to achieve this functionality in your applications.
Enable Fast App Resume
Enabling Fast App Resume is as simple as adding one attribute to an XML element in the manifest file.
- Open WMAppManifest.xml in any editor. (I use notepad++)
- Find the element DefaultTask
- Add the attribute ActivationPolicy="Resume"
You should end up with something that looks like this:
<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="MainPage.xaml" ActivationPolicy="Resume"/>
Apart from setting param in WMAppManifest.xml, there's also a bit one needs to do in App.xaml.cs in order to make the 'fast app resume' feature work correctly.A nice working example is available on msdn: Fast app resume example

There is no simple answer to questions about the cause of either rises or falls in the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, much as we would like there to be. For more technical details on the various geochemical and geological issues underlying the discussion that follows, Robert Berner's book, The Phanerozoic Carbon Cycle, is highly recommended.
The major determinants of the changes in atmospheric oxygen levels are a series of chemical reactions involving many of the elements abundant on and in Earth's crust, including carbon, sulfur, and iron. The chemical reactions involve both oxidation and reduction, processes that involve chemical reactions where certain elements either add or lose electrons. In the case of oxidation reactions, free oxygen (oxygen) combines with molecules containing carbon, sulfur, or iron to form new chemical compounds and in so doing oxygen is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the newly formed compounds. Oxygen is liberated back into the atmosphere by other reactions involving reduction of compounds. This is what happens during photosynthesis as plants liberate free oxygen as a by-product of the break-up of carbon dioxide through a complex series of intermediate reactions. Two important cycles ultimately dictate oxygen levels: the carbon cycle and the sulfur cycle. There may be other elements that are important as well, but currently they are deemed far less instrumental in affecting oxygen levels than are carbon and sulfur.
Let's look first at the sulfur cycle. Sulfur is found in a wide variety of compounds, but the most important for understanding the rise and fall of oxygen over time is pyrite. This gold-colored cubic mineral is familiar to us as "fool's gold," and while of little value compared to gold in monetary terms, it is hugely important in dictating the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and hence the state of the biosphere. Sulfur is added to the oceans from rivers as it weathers out of pyrite-bearing rocks on the continents, or it comes from sulfur-rich sedimentary rocks, such as gypsum and anhydrate. These latter are already in chemical states that do not react with oxygen. Such is not the case with pyrite, however. There are huge quantities of pyrite locked in a variety of rocks, most importantly dark shale that originated in the oceans, which are uplifted onto continents via plate tectonic mechanisms and then weathered under the onslaught of rain, wind, cold, and heat. There are

throttle response issues
Ever since the damned Sandy hit New York my Diesel hasn't been the same. throttle response in the lower power band is blotchy and uneven i.e. she chokes at low RPM, she'll stutter & threaten to shut down and i have to reset the throttle and give a quick twist of the wrist to stay on. she's shut down like twice upon take off from a red light & after a steady highway run she'll come off it a little better but i can still feel a lack of power. during idle / warm-up theres more backfire than usual so i think it may be a Carb thing... any ideas... im riding an '03 600vlx

What does the storm have to did with it? was it left outside?
you may have water in the spark plug tubes, there are 4, if so blow them out with compressed air. otherwise it sounds as though it may be running to lean, and the colder weather it be more noticable. more popping out the exhuast on decel, and intake of popping on accel. in that case you would need to clean and or rejet the carbs. did you gas up after the storm? water in the fuel? but make sure you have mo water around the plugs before you go looking at fuel related issues

All bs aside, it does sound like a lean issue. And the colder weather definitely will make the issue a lot worse. Check your the coloration of your plugs. that'll give any tell-tell signs of how the engine is running. Look online for pictures of plugs with a breakdown of what each condition and corresponding color means. Start with the simple first. I wouldn't pull the carbs just yet. You can also have someone mechanically inclined or just do it yourself if you are even somewhat experienced make adjustments on your air/fuel mixture screws. Get a hold of a service manual for your model, and it'll show you exactly where to find the screws and the process for getting to them. Always rule out the minor things before tearing into anything. Hope this helps.

Germany 80539
Tel: 49 89 223 292
Concierge.com's insider take:
This Venice-based shoe and accessories boutique is more reasonably priced, and certainly more distinctive, than its high-end neighbors on Maximilianstrasse. Funky women's pumps, many decorated with a skull-and-crossbones motif (costing around $300), and exotic animal-skin bags are the rule in the Maximilianstrrasse side of the store; across a passage is a unisex boutique with shirts, dresses and accessories.
Closed Sundays.

This Epic "Mockingjay" Teaser Shows the Face of the Rebellion
Coming SoonWatch the breathtaking new trailer for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1."
Panem's leader, the Mockingjay, has risen.
After two amazing, but extremely vague teaser trailers, we finally have our first real look at the much anticipated film, "Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1."
The clip shows Katniss, played by the ever lovable Jennifer Lawrence, taking on her role as the Mockingjay—the face of the rebellion. We also get glimpses of "Game of Thrones"/"The Tudors" actress Natalie Dormer as Cressida and Julianne Moore as President Coin.
Along with being a great reminder of the upcoming film, the teaser pays homage to the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died earlier this year. In the film series he played Plutarch Heavensbee, one of the most pivotal characters in "The Hunger Games" series, who is a main force behind the revolution against the Capitol.
"Mockingjay" comes to theaters November 21.
Watch the clip below:

Irvine applauds `comfortable' win
Sheffield Wednesday boss Alan Irvine felt the 1-0 victory over Brighton was the least his side deserved.Giles Coke's first-half goal proved to be the difference between the two teams and maintain the Owls' unbeaten start to the season.Irvine said: "There were a lot of good performances. I thought we looked comfortable throughout the game and probably should have put the game to bed because we didn't make the most of some good chances."We had to be right when we were out of possession and we had to be alert as well because they're a bright side."The work we did tactically in training was applied very well by the lads."

Comments about Good Cat!:
I have had problems with 1 of my 3 cats. He is the bully of the house and has separation anxiety. He would chew my carpet while I was at work to the point he had to have surgery to remove a string that was caught on his tongue. Since I have been using this product, he is much calmer. I haven't noticed any carpet issues. I did stop it for a few days while I was home on vacation and noticed such a difference that I just purchased 3 more bottles. I do not notice any effect on the other 2 cats and they don't seem mind the taste. I use this in addition to a.m. and p.m. playtime.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Any Steeler fan talking about not missing Troy Polamalu needs a reality check.
Skip Bayless agrees with your viewpoint, and that is vindication in your mind?
If that doofus happened to agree with one of my opinions, that would probably cause me to start re-thinking my opinion.
Bayless is simply an airbag who spouts out contrarian ideas in order to get a rise out of people.
Talk to me when an knowledgable NFL mind (former player/coach/GM) agrees with you, not some newspaper blowhard.

"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
Looking at some of the Polamalu comments makes me think some have come full circle on Troy and returned to Bustamalu.
If you have, I think you've lost your mind.
Were you also on board the "dump Woodson" bandwagon back in the day, due to his contract/injury? How'd that work out for us?
Skip Bayless is a blowhard and a tool bag.
He reminds me of most of us
I listen to ESPN radio and his show from time to time. And sometimes he has some interesting things to say. And some of the guests are good. But it does get annoying when they have to disagree and argue senseless positions. I guess that's just like all of us afterall.

It would be easy for a cynical person to dismiss the short film Hero, and that's really part of the film's point. In a world where good people find themselves victims of their environment, unexpected or undeserved circumstances or just unlucky in who they got as parents, it's easy to forget about, or outright scorn, the idea of a real-life hero.
In this scenario, young Gina (Aimee Wood) is unable to rouse her alcoholic mother and is forced to call in an ambulance. Once at the hospital, it becomes clear that the likelihood of Gina's mother recovering is not looking too good, and, worse still, Gina is all alone. One doctor becomes particularly sympathetic to Gina's situation and makes a choice that will change both his and Gina's lives.
Despite the dark subject matter and plight of Gina (and her friends, as we learn later on in the short), this film really lives in the realm of sweet and uplifting. The idea here is that heroes can exist, and they're usually not unhinged psychopaths in costumes trying to avenge lost loved ones. Instead, a hero can be that person who says the right thing at that perfect time, or makes a gesture that seems small at first, but makes all the difference in the world.
Again, this short is not for cynics (though there is a slight level of ambiguity in the sweetness that could be interpreted in a number of cynical ways). This is about saving a life, with a small touch of spiritual whimsy, and not wallowing in the despair of circumstances.
This film was submitted for review through our Submission for Review system. If you have a film you'd like us to see, and we aren't already looking into it on our own, you too can utilize this service.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Somewhat bright
Easy to install (comes with screw holes and double sided tape for mounting)
Decent build quality and hasn't died yet.
Can withstand vibrations from subs in the trunk (the reason why i had to take out the stock brake light because I kept on blowing bulbs)
I'm less likely to get rear ended from bad drivers in California
Could be brighter and bigger
Wiring is hard to hide
Doesn't look stock
Good for what it is at a good price for a replacement 3rd brake light. It could be bigger and brighter though, but i'm not complaining.
