Boutiques have become the latest shopping hot-spots in the city
Mention shopping and the next thing that comes to the mind of any Maduraiite is the experience of wading through the crowded Masi streets, carrying heavy kattapais. That's what we have been doing for decades during Diwali and Pongal or whenever we need new clothes! But now, shopping has changed. It is synonymous with malls and boutiques now. A number of these quaint plush glass façade stores located in posh pockets of the town are the new fashion haute-spots. Women who shopped for saris are picking kurtis and salwars and the traditional textile shops have given way to new age designer boutiques and branded outlets.
The reason for the success of boutiques in a small town like Madurai is mainly said to be the exclusivity that these stores offer. "People look for different taste in products showcased in boutiques compared to what's available in large stores," says Sujatha of Uttara boutique on Bypass Road. "Boutique is a concept of 'fewer but better' where a purchase is more than just taking home a product. It is about an experience, the options you get to choose from, reliability, quality and customer service and a brand by itself in that sense."
"These days, people value time as well as money," opines Sujatha. "Customers who are hard pressed for time find that boutiques have a better hit rate and their shopping is quicker rather than them having to personally browse through a large unsorted range." Many believe that boutiques offer a personal and customized service on the whole and take care of even minor issues like colours, fittings and alterations, which the textile shops seem to lack.
"There's a personalised attention and the store personnel knows even the taste of a particular customer and offer valuable suggestions," says Devaki, a high-school teacher, who boutique-hops regularly. "For instance, I prefer getting the blouses stitched from the same boutique where I bought the sari from. It's convenient and trust worthy."
But, what makes boutiques tick in Madurai, which is often tagged a conservative town? "People are not conservative when it comes to clothes, they are just more concerned about what they wear," says Reshma of UrbanSpice Gallery, who organises shows and expos of designer wears in the city. "You can't expect a Maduraiite to dress up funky but they are conscious about being fashionable and well-dressed." She says that impulsive buying is not a trend here yet and people put in a lot of thought before picking up stuff. "They give importance to comfort and look, rather than the style and the price. Also, factors like climate play a major role in the buying decision. Frills and crepes are never the takes of Madurai, except may be in the brief winter months. Whereas, silks are always a hot pick," points out Reshma.
"Initially, when we started a boutique eight years ago, only the cream of the society shopped with us. Now, our customer base has expanded and the sensibilities of people have improved," says Faraaz, proprietor of Signature boutique.
Though, everyone feels that there's a visible change in the fashion sense of the city's denizens, some say it's extremely gradual. Ramya, a homemaker-turned-fashion designer says that Madurai is a place where fads catch up faster but also fades away at the same pace. "People are still reluctant to buy expensive crafts like Kalamkari. Only a few who have knowledge about the craft, pick these up," says Ramya, who gets customised Kalamkari outfits made from tailors in Kalahasti for her customers. "Zardozi, embroidery and chamki works have become a mass craze now. There's nothing exclusive in them anymore. The only experiment you can make in them is the colours and patterns." Ramya also supplies merchandise to Anita boutique in Milam'em Mall, which specialises in ethnic saris and salwars. "Designer blouses are my forte. I play around with the silhouette and few people go for such adventure designs," she says.
Karthick Raja of Anita Boutique says, "Ethnic wear never goes out of fashion in small towns. Here, people prefer dressing a little loud. Bright colours and heavily worked outfits are considered the attention grabbers."
Other than few distinguished boutiques that position themselves as a niche segment, numerous shops that call themselves boutiques have sprung up in the city. Some boutiques try to break the idea that they house only expensive products. Some call themselves as designer specialists and claim to stock an exclusive line or merchandise. "Boutiques need not be expensive at all. All that matters is how exclusive and unique is your product," feels Muruganandam, who runs Spurssha boutique in Anna Nagar, for the past three years. "For example, leggings are common. But if you have jeggings, a slight modification of the same form, then people buy it." "I make sure I don't pick up similar stuff from the Bombay market. Each piece is different," he vouches.
Madurai finally appears to be catching up on the fashion radar. And apart from the new brides and young moms, the middle-aged are also picking up kurtis instead of a Kanjiwaram sari!

By accepting this deal, which also includes a full no-trade clause, Trout demonstrated that he's in no hurry to play closer to his New Jersey home.
"I love it here," Trout said. "This is the best opportunity for me to be here over the next seven years."
Trout said he was closely involved with agent Craig Landis throughout the negotiations, and there were moments over the past month that he admitted it was "pretty crazy."
"I got a little nervous at times," Trout said. "I didn't show it. I'm just happy it's over. I'm relieved. It's awesome."
Moreno said the sides began talking before the end of last season, and it grew in intensity around Thanksgiving. The difficulty in a deal like this is that Trout is such a unique player. His first two seasons – back-to-back runner-up finishes in the AL MVP race – were so off the charts that there were no comps for him.
Also, Trout is four years away from free agency, so there's no true market for him to use to price himself unless he was willing to wait, and doing that involved years of injury risk.
"I would like to tell you there was some map to go by, but we were in uncharted water," Moreno said. "We wanted to make a fair deal. We had all their proposals and they had ours. When we sat down we were very close. We both kept inching toward the middle."
Despite speculation that the deal might have been agreed to weeks ago, the final details were not ironed out until the past few days. The last step was Trout having a physical, which he did Friday.
"This is a great day for the organization," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "I can't tell you how relieved we are that this was done by Arte and Mike. Mike is a special player, but more importantly a special person. … We're excited to get the season started and have all this distraction behind us."

The German secret service listened in on at least one of Hillary Clinton's telephone calls when she was U.S. secretary of state, German media reported.
The Suddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) daily and regional public broadcasters NDR and WDR said Friday that documents passed to the CIA by one of its moles inside German intelligence show it eavesdropped on Clinton while she was on a US government plane.
A German government source told the three outlets that the intercept happened by accident, and only once.
John Kerry, Clinton's successor, was also subjected to the electronic spying, German weekly Der Spiegel reported Saturday. The magazine said German intelligence agency BND intercepted a satellite phone conversation Kerry made in 2013 .
Berlin and Washington have been at loggerheads over alleged US snooping, with the head of the CIA in Germany expelled last month as revelations of double agents and the bugging of Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone soured relations between the allies.
The reports did not reveal when the eavesdropped Clinton conversation took place, but they said Kerry may have brought the matter up with his German opposite number, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Der Spiegel said the Clinton incident involved a conversation she had with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2012.
According to the Friday reports, the Clinton intercept was "not an isolated case," with the German government apparently giving permission for "spying on a NATO partner," although it was unclear which of its allies was the target.
Der Spiegel says the calls were collected accidentally and the three officials weren't directly targeted.
The magazine also cites a confidential 2009 BND document listing NATO member Turkey as a target for German intelligence gathering.

This funding will help scientists investigate how microorganisms and Earth's near-surface environments have interacted over billions of years. The project, led by Dianne Newman, the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Geobiology and Environmental Engineering Science at Caltech, will bring together investigators from a wide range of disciplines that do not traditionally overlap. They will work on a well-defined problem in the new discipline of geobiology.
The project, "The Geobiology of Anaerobic Fe(II) Oxidation: Biological, Geochemical, and Field Studies," integrates molecular microbiology with geochemistry and field geology. These scientists will try to identify chemical signatures of early life in the geologic record.
"We believe that the potential for discoveries that could come from any of the individual components alone is extraordinary, and we think that this is just the kind of challenge that the Packard Foundation had in mind when it conceived the interdisciplinary project program," said Caltech president David Baltimore.
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation was created in 1964 to support and encourage nonprofit organizations dependent on private funding and volunteer leadership. It awards grants in six main program areas: conservation; population; science, children, families, and communities; arts; and organizational effectiveness and philanthropy.
Founded in 1891, Caltech has an enrollment of some 2,000 students, and a faculty of about 275 professorial members and 130 research members. The Institute has more than 19,000 alumni. Caltech employs a staff of more than 2,100 on campus and 4,800 at JPL.
Over the years, 28 Nobel Prizes and four Crafoord Prizes have been awarded to faculty members and alumni. Forty-five Caltech faculty members and alumni have received the National Medal of Science; and eight alumni (two of whom are also trustees), two additional trustees, and one faculty member have won the National Medal of Technology. Since 1958, 13 faculty members have received the annual California Scientist of the Year award. On the Caltech faculty there are 77 fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and on the faculty and Board of Trustees, 70 members of the National Academy of Sciences and 48 members of the National Academy of Engineering. ###

PASADENA—Earth was well on its way to having two Antarcticas long ago, but a tectonic separation between the eastern and western portions of the continent suddenly stopped after 17 million years of spreading, researchers say.
In the March 9 issue of Nature, lead author Steve Cande of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Joann Stock of Caltech, and their colleagues in Australia and Japan report that the rift between East and West Antarctica began about 43 million years ago, then ended 17 million years later, after the seafloor had spread about 180 kilometers. The researchers discovered the motion after making several cruises over a period of years in the waters off the Antarctic coast and after gathering data on the seafloor itself.
"The two pieces of Antarctica pulled apart and then stopped," says Stock, a professor of geology and geophysics at Caltech. "If it had kept on going, there would eventually have been two Antarcticas."
The primary scientific value of the study is that it answers some nagging questions about the "missing" motion in the Antarctic region. For a variety of reasons, geophysicists have had a hard time getting a handle on the precise directions and amounts of motion there, and how the motion fits into the grand scheme of global plate tectonics.
"It's like a jigsaw puzzle," Stock says. "You have to know how one piece moved relative to the other pieces to understand how it all fits together.
"A lot of the tectonic plate history for western North America, for example, depends on what happened in Antarctica. You wouldn't think so, but that's the way plate tectonic movements work."
The key to the new results was the researchers' discovery of an underwater feature off Cape Adare that they have named the Adare Trough. This trough is about 230 kilometers long and runs roughly northwest-southeast near the 170th meridian. The sharp break in the direction of the magnetic lines on either side of the trough allows the researchers to infer the ancient relative motions of the plates, and the age and shape of the trough and seafloor around it indicates the period when the spreading occurred.
Seafloor spreading in the area accounts for the "missing" motion in the plate circuit linking the Australia, Antarctic, and Pacific plates, the researchers also found. Too, the 180-kilometer-wide zone of extension is most likely related to the uplift that has occurred in the Transantarctic Mountains to the west, and explains other geological features that have hitherto been puzzling.
And finally, the new results could shed new light on global issues such as the motion between hotspots in the Pacific and Indo-Atlantic oceans.
In addition to Cande and Stock, the other authors are Dietmar Müller of the University of Sidney and Takemi Ishihara of the Geological Survey of Japan.
PASADENA—When planetary scientists first saw evidence of a water ocean beneath the frozen surface of Europa, everyone immediately began pondering the likelihood that the Jovian moon could harbor advanced life forms—perhaps even fishlike creatures.
But last summer a group of planetary scientists from the California Institute of Technology and Jet Propulsion Laboratory threw water on the theory—so to speak—when they took a novel approach and concluded that advanced life forms were not likely.
"Water is a good place to look for life, but is only one ingredient for life," says Kenneth Nealson, an astrobiologist who holds joint appointments at Caltech and JPL, and who was a coauthor of the 1999 paper on Europa.
"You also need energy and, probably, organic carbon."
Nealson and his colleagues Eric Gaidos and Joseph Kirschvink (both of Caltech) wrote in the controversial 1999 Science paper that life on Earth is not necessarily the best analogy for life on another world. In other words, astrobiologists should be prepared to use chemistry and physics to analyze the possibilities for extraterrestrial life, rather than merely assuming life will exist wherever there is water.
Specifically, the authors showed that nearly all forms of energy used by life on Earth would be unavailable to the organisms that might live beneath Europa's surface ice layer. This did not preclude primitive unicellular organisms, but boded poorly for anyone hoping to someday see Europan creatures with gills and backbones.
"There is a trap in the thinking, because on Earth, virtually everywhere you find water you also find life," Nealson says. "And conversely, on Earth, about the only thing you can associate with lifelessness is the lack of water.
"But on another planet, just because you find water doesn't mean you're necessarily going to find life there."
Nealson says that a very likely place to look for life forms is any place where there is an energy gradient of some sort. Some potential energy gradients that might be available on Europa might arise from the gravitational and magnetic fields of Jupiter, which would almost certainly grind things around inside the moon and result in a heat source.
But when Nealson and his colleagues last year analyzed the closed system beneath Europa, they concluded that this source of energy alone was probably insufficient for multicellular life to survive. Also, they concluded that the redox energy (or available chemical energy) of the moon would also be inadequate for complex life of the kind we are familiar with on Earth.
"Still, I think Europa is a great place to look for very simple organisms," Nealson says today.
Another salubrious way to look for life is to look carefully at any place there is a water cycle, however small. If any of the other Jovian moons, such as Ganymede or Callisto, have a hydrological cycle in which moisture precipitates and runs underground, is heated by an internal source, and ultimately is returned to the surface, then the planet or moon would have the potential for energy gradients, energy flow, and geochemical cycling. All of these may be key to the existence of global life.
And the water cycle could be entirely subterranean and could even be a very limited, closed loop, Nealson says. For example, Mars may still have frozen subterranean waters that are occasionally melted by the planet's internal heat, but never result in water vapor actually surfacing. In such a case, there could be bacterial life that has lived in a closed loop beneath the Martian surface for billions of years.
"There's certainly no present-day atmospheric water cycle on Mars—no rain, no aquifers to collect the rainfall, no recycling," he says. "So if there's life on Mars, it has a hard time existing, and we'd have a hard time finding it without drilling."
While a drilling excavation to Mars is still a few decades in the future, Nealson hopes that one of the orbiters to Mars will soon include a deep-sounding radar instrument. Such an instrument can detect either liquid or frozen water beneath the surface.
The Mars orbiter scheduled for launch in 2003 by the European Space Agency (in conjunction with scientists from JPL) is scheduled to have deep-sounding radar for the detection of subsurface liquid water. A similar device will eventually be sent to Europa.
Perhaps later, the search could be extended to other Jovian moons, as well as the moons of Saturn and even Uranus.
"The moons of Jupiter have changed the way I feel about life in the solar system," Nealson says. "Each of the four large moons has different properties, different energy flows, different likelihoods of water.
"It's important to keep an open mind," he says.
PASADENA-For the primitive organisms unlucky enough to be around 2.4 billion years ago, the first global freeze was a real wipeout, likely the worst in the history of life on Earth. Few of the organisms escaped extinction, and those that did were forced into an evolutionary bottleneck that altered the diversity of life for eons.
But 2.4 billion years later, an unlikely winner has emerged from that first planetary deep-freeze, and it's none other than us modern industrial humans. New research from the California Institute of Technology reveals that the world's largest deposit of manganese (a component of steel) was formed by the cascade of chemical reactions caused when the planet got so cold that even the equators were icy-a condition now known as "Snowball Earth."
In a special issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on global climatic change published February 14, Caltech geobiology professor Joe Kirschvink and his team show that the huge Kalahari Manganese Field in southern Africa was a consequence of a long Snowball Earth episode. Kirschvink, who originated the Snowball Earth concept more than a decade ago, says the new study explains how the drastic climatic changes in a Snowball Earth episode can alter the course of biological evolution, and can also account for a huge economic resource.
According to Kirschvink and his team, the planet froze over for tens of millions of years, but eventually thawed when a greenhouse-induced effect kicked in. This warming episode led to the deposit of iron formations and carbonates, providing nutrients to the blue-green algae that were waiting in the wings for a good feeding.
The algae bloom during the melting period resulted in an oxygen spike, which in turn led to a "rusting" of the iron and manganese. This caused the manganese to be laid down in a huge 45-meter-thick deposit in the Kalahari to await future human mining and metallurgy. Today, about 80 percent of the entire world's known manganese reserves are found in that one field, and it is a major economic resource for the Republic of South Africa.
The Snowball Earth's cascade of climatic chemical reactions also probably forced the living organisms of the time to mutate in such a way that they were protected from the excess oxygen. Because free radicals can cause DNA damage, the organisms adapted an enzyme known as the superoxide dismutase to compensate.
Kirschvink points out that the enzyme and its evolutionary history are well known to biologists, but that a global climate change apparently has never been suggested as a cause of the enzyme's diversification.
"To our knowledge, this is the first biochemical evidence for this adaptation," says Kirschvink, adding that the data shows that the adaptation can be traced back to the Snowball Earth episode 2.4 billion years ago.
Kirschvink, his former doctoral student Dave Evans (now at the University of Western Australia in Perth), and Nicolas J. Beukes of Rand Afrikaans University proposed the Snowball Earth episode in a 1997 paper in Nature. Their evidence for the freeze of 2.4 billion years ago was based on their finding evidence of glacial deposits in a place in southern Africa that in ancient times was within 11 degrees of the equator, according to magnetic samples also gathered there.
The other authors of the PNAS paper are Eric Gaidos of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who also holds an appointment in geobiology at Caltech; L. Elizabeth Bertani and Rachel E. Steinberger, both of the Division of Biology at Caltech; and Nicholas J. Beukes and Jans Gutzmer, both of Rand Afrikaans University in Johannesburg.
The work was supported by the NASA National Astrobiology Institute.
A detailed article on the Snowball Earth phenomenon was published in the January 2000 issue of Scientific American.
PASADENA-Using data from the Galileo spacecraft currently in orbit around Jupiter, scientists have discovered that thunderstorms beneath the upper cloud cover are supplying energy to the planet's colorful large-scale weather patterns-including the 300-year-old Great Red Spot.
In two articles in the February 10 issue of the British journal Nature and an article in the current issue of the journal Icarus, Caltech planetary science professor Andrew Ingersoll and his colleagues from Cornell, NASA, and UCLA write that lightning storms on the giant planet are clearly associated with the eddies that supply energy to the large-scale weather patterns.
Their conclusion is possible because Galileo can provide daytime photos of the cloud structure when lightning is not visible, and nighttime photos of the same area a couple of hours later clearly showing the lightning.
"You don't usually see the thunderstorms or the lightning strikes because the ammonia clouds in the upper atmosphere obscure them," says Ingersoll.
"But when Galileo passes over the night side, you can see bright flashes that let you infer the depth and the intensity of the lightning bolts."
Especially fortuitous are the Jovian nights when there is a bit of moonshine from one of the large moons such as Io, says Ingersoll. When there is no moonshine, the Galileo images show small blobs of glow from the lightning flashes, but nothing else. But when the upper cloud covers are illuminated at night by moonshine, the pictures show both the glow from the lightning some 100 kilometers below as well as eddies being roiled by the turbulence of the thunderclouds.
The association of the eddies with lightning is especially noteworthy in the new papers, Ingersoll says. Planetary scientists have known for some years that Jupiter had lightning; and in fact they have known since the Voyager flyby that the zonal jets and long-lived storms are kept alive by soaking up the energy of smaller eddies. But they did not know until now that the eddies themselves were fed by thunderstorms below.
"The lightning indicates that there's water down there, because nothing else can condense at a depth of 80 or 100 kilometers," he says. "So we can use lightning as a beacon that points to the place where there are rapidly falling raindrops and rapidly rising air columns-a source of energy for the eddies.
"The eddies, in turn, get pulled apart by shear flow and give up their energy to these large-scale features. So ultimately, the Great Red Spot gets its energy and stays alive by eating these eddies."
Adding credence to the interpretation is the fact that the anticyclonic rotation (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern) of the eddies is consistent with the outflow from a convective thunderstorm. Their poleward drift is consistent with anticyclones being sucked into Jupiter's powerful westward jets.
Ingersoll is lead author of the Nature paper that interprets the new Galileo data. The other authors are Peter Gierasch and Don Banfield of Cornell University; and Ashwin Vasavada of UCLA. (Banfield and Vasavada are Ingersoll's former doctoral students at Caltech).
Gierasch is lead author of the other Nature paper, which announces the discovery of moist convection on Jupiter. The other authors are Ingersoll; Banfield; Vasavada; Shawn Ewald of Caltech; Paul Helfenstein and Amy Simon-Miller, both of Cornell; and Herb Breneman and David Senske, both of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
The authors of the Icarus paper are Ingersoll; Vasavada; Senske; Breneman; William Borucki of NASA Ames Research Center; Blane Little and Clifford Anger, both of ITRES Research in Calgary, Alberta; and the Galileo SSI Team.
The Galileo spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter and its moons for the past four years, and the mission has begun an additional one-year extension.

PASADENA-Cosmic gamma-ray bursts, the brightest known explosions in the universe, may come from the fiery deaths of very massive stars in supernova explosions, a team of astronomers said today.
In a paper to appear today in the international journal Nature, the international team led by the California Institute of Technology presents evidence that the gamma-ray burst of March 26, 1998 (GRB 980326) is apparently associated with a supernova explosion.
This would then indicate that some gamma-ray bursts are associated with the formation of black holes during the fiery deaths of very massive stars. If true, this would be some of the first direct evidence for what produces gamma-ray bursts.
As a consequence, the team suggests that a burst of gamma rays are seen when one of the jets from the supernova's central black hole is pointed directly toward Earth. Gamma-ray bursts are brilliant flashes of high-energy radiation that occur at seemingly random times and from random places in the sky.
While these objects have been known since 1967, it was only recently demonstrated that these bursts originate from galaxies in the very distant universe and are by far the most brilliant bursts in the universe. This breakthrough was made possible due to the launch of the Italian-Dutch satellite BeppoSAX in 1996, which for the first time pinpointed the location of the bursts with a sufficient accuracy to enable their detailed studies with ground-based telescopes such as the W. M. Keck Telescope.
Despite the strides, scientists were still left wondering what produces these spectacular explosions. Various theories of their possible origins are still vigorously debated.
There are currently two popular models, both suggesting that the bursts originate in a formation of a black hole. In one model, two massive objects such as neutron stars or black holes (both of which may be end-products of previous supernova explosions) coalesce, forming a single massive black hole.
In the second model, such a black hole is produced in a catastrophic collapse of the core of a massive star. In this model, one then expects two sources of light: the "afterglow'' emission from the gamma-ray burst itself and light from the exploding star, a supernova. The afterglow rapidly declines whereas the supernova explosion gains in brightness over a period of a few weeks, and then gradually fades away.
The new study reports on the observations of GRB 980326 carried out at the W. M. Keck Observatory's 10-m telescope located atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii. As in many other cases, a visible light afterglow was found following the burst, which then rapidly faded away. However, the Caltech-led team discovered something never previously observed-a dramatic rebrightening of optical emission at the position of the gamma-ray burst.
Normally, the optical light of a gamma-ray burst vastly outshines its host galaxy for weeks. When the light from the gamma-ray burst fades, the apparent total brightness remains constant: all that remains is the light from the host galaxy.
Shrinivas R. Kulkarni of the Caltech team explains, "A month after GRB 980326, it looked as though the host galaxy was dominating the light." However, the next time the team observed, some eight months after the burst, the "galaxy" was gone.
"Galaxies do not just disappear, so we were astonished," Kulkarni said. "Clearly, what we were seeing is a new source of light brightening one month and then fading away. This is something quite new."
This unexpected rebrightening is now believed to be due to the underlying supernova created in the explosion of the massive star. The team had also obtained spectra of the object at different times, and that provided additional clues.
"The spectrum of the source right after the burst was blue, which is common," said S. George Djorgovski of Caltech. "But after a month it was very red, which was unexpected.
"That alone suggested that we were looking at some different phenomenon happening at the same location, but with a time delay of a few weeks."
Both the rebrightening and the spectrum changes are naturally explained by the presence of a supernova. The intensity of the apparent re-burst matches the peak brightness of a supernova seen in a distant galaxy, and its red spectrum also has the right color.
This represents the most direct evidence to date in favor of the massive supernova model. In this scenario, a black hole is quickly formed in the center of a massive star whose core is unable to support itself against gravity.
When the star explodes, powerful jets from the central black hole emerge along the original axis of rotation, and gamma rays are created by the jets. If the jets are not pointed toward Earth, then we see only a supernova and the effects of the exploding star. But gamma rays as well as the light from the supernova arrive at Earth if the jets are pointing in our direction.
Joshua S. Bloom, a graduate student at Caltech and lead author of the paper said, "This appears to be the smoking gun for the origin of some gamma-ray bursts, a perfect marriage of the two brightest events in the universe. It is wonderful to be a part of such a discovery."
Gamma-ray bursts, since their discovery some 30 years ago, have over 150 theoretical models about their possible origins, but only a handful can come close to describing the true trigger of the bursts.
"It is possible that there are other causes for gamma-ray bursts such as the coalescence of neutron stars," Bloom said. "Undoubtedly, astronomers will focus on unearthing new classes in the years to come."
Early reports of the results created some excitement in the astronomical community. Two other groups, from universities of Amsterdam and Chicago, in view of the work presented by the Caltech team, have reanalyzed the data on some other gamma-ray bursts. They appear to find good evidence for an underlying supernova in another well-studied gamma-ray burst.
"It is encouraging to have had such a resounding reception to an unexpected result," said Kulkarni. "Even some of the initial skeptics seem to be converted by these results."
Other members of the Caltech team are graduate student A. C. Eichelberger; postdoctoral scholars P. Côté, J. P. Blakeslee, and S. C. Odewahn; and Assistant Professor F. A. Harrison.
In addition to the members of the Caltech team, the other coauthors include M. Feroci of the BeppoSAX team; D. A. Frail of the National Radio Observatory; A. V. Filippenko, D. C. Leonard, A. G. Reiss, H. Spinrad, D. Stern, A. Bunker, B. Grossan, S. Perlmutter, and R. A. Knop of the University of California at Berkeley; A. Dey of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory; and I. M.

Newman's expertise in microbiology and geochemistry will allow her to explore a wide range of problems, as well as collaborate with a variety of faculty members.
"Encouraging women in science and engineering is a top priority for me personally, as well as for the Institute. The Clare Boothe Luce Professorship at Caltech helps us in a very substantial way toward that goal," says Caltech president David Baltimore.
Newman received her bachelor's degree in German studies from Stanford University in 1993, and her Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1997. In addition, she was an exchange scholar at Princeton University from 1995 to 1997, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard.
Newman has received a number of awards, including the W.B. Dickman Writing Prize in Engineering, the American Chemical Society Award, and the NASA Planetary Biology Internship Grant. An accomplished writer and teacher, she has been recognized nationally for her research work.
The Clare Boothe Luce Program is administered by the Henry Luce Foundation, which was established by Mrs. Luce's husband, Henry R. Luce. The program was created "to encourage women to enter, study, graduate and teach" in scientific and technological fields in which they are underrepresented. Mrs. Luce established the program "in recognition that women have already entered the fields of medicine, law, business and the arts, and in order to encourage more women to enter the field of science."
Founded in 1891, Caltech has an enrollment of some 2,000 students, and an academic staff of about 280 professorial faculty and 130 research faculty. The Institute has more than 19,000 alumni. Caltech employs a staff of more than 1,700 on campus and 5,300 at JPL.
Over the years, 27 Nobel Prizes and four Crafoord Prizes have been awarded to faculty members and alumni. Forty-four Caltech faculty members and alumni have received the National Medal of Science; and eight alumni (two of whom are also trustees), two additional trustees, and one faculty member have won the National Medal of Technology. Since 1958, 13 faculty members have received the annual California Scientist of the Year Award. On the Caltech faculty there are 77 fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and on the faculty and Board of Trustees, 69 members of the National Academy of Sciences and 49 members of the National Academy of Engineering.

PASADENA—The California Institute of Technology will participate in a multi-institutional effort, funded by the National Science Foundation, to advance the field of adaptive optics, which promises to revolutionize astronomy.
The National Science Foundation's governing body, the National Science Board, has approved a proposal to establish a Center for Adaptive Optics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. As a partner institution, Caltech will bring together faculty from astronomy, planetary science, and physics to advance the use of existing adaptive optics technology at the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory in California and the two 10-meter Keck Telescopes in Hawaii.
According to Mike Brown, assistant professor of planetary astronomy and leader of the Caltech team, "This effort will breathe new life into ground-based observing by giving us more sophisticated tools to view distant planetary systems." Depending on the size of the telescope, adaptive optics technology will make images 10 to 20 times sharper, giving scientists a much better view of space. "We plan on making Palomar the best at seeing very faint things next to very bright things, possible indicators of planetary systems. We can learn and experiment at Palomar, then utilize Keck for the really big discoveries."
Very few astronomers have any experience using adaptive optics. "We're hoping to quickly learn how to optimize the technology currently available and pass on that knowledge to other scientists. I expect this to bring about some exciting discoveries," said Brown.
Adaptive optics is a method to actively compensate for changing distortions that cause blurring of images. It is used in astronomy to correct for the blurring effect of turbulence in the earth's atmosphere. For astronomers, adaptive optics can give ground-based telescopes the same clarity of vision that space telescopes achieve by orbiting above the earth's turbulent atmosphere.
Astronomers have already started to reap the benefits of applying adaptive optics to their research. A team headed by Dr. Richard Dekany at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently conducted a highly successful first test of an adaptive optics system on the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. Enhanced high-resolution images of excellent quality were obtained of the ring system of Uranus and of the Lagoon Nebula.
The 27 partner institutions of the Center for Adaptive Optics will include Caltech, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UCLA, UC Irvine, the University of Chicago, the University of Rochester, the University of Houston, Indiana University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and 17 other national laboratory, industry, and international partners.
The center will provide the sustained effort needed to bring adaptive optics from promise to widespread use. It will conduct research, educate students, develop new instruments, and disseminate knowledge about adaptive optics to the broader scientific community.
Caltech participants will include Shri Kulkarni, Chuck Steidel, Mark Metzger, and Keith Matthews from astronomy, and Christopher Martin from physics.
Palomar Observatory is located near San Diego, Calif., and is owned and operated by Caltech. Caltech and the University of California jointly operate the W. M. Keck Observatory, which houses the world's two largest optical and infared telescopes and is located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

Answered by Dave Stevenson, George Van Osdol Professor of Planetary Science, Caltech.
The sun provides more than just energy, it provides the gravitational force that keeps us in orbit. But I interpret the question to mean "What if the sun stopped shining?"
In that situation, Earth's surface would cool down to a state in which the outgoing infrared radiation is balanced only by conductive heat from Earth's interior. The heat content of the atmosphere is negligible except on the very short time scale of a few days.
Within days to a week, Earth's surface would cool to below the freezing point of salty water, and the oceans would begin to form a complete ice cap. In a year or so the temperature would be down below 200 degrees absolute at the surface (that's roughly minus 100 Fahrenheit). The water in the deepest part of Earth's oceans would freeze after 1,000 years. Earth's surface would not cool all the way to its new stable state of around 30 degrees absolute (approaching minus 400 Fahrenheit) until millions of years had elapsed.
This state is one in which the radioactive heat in Earth's interior balances outgoing radiation. In the interim period of several million years, Earth's subsurface would be kept warm because of the slowness of heat conduction through solid rock or ice. So the inside would stay warm even as Earth's atmosphere was freezing out as solid oxygen and nitrogen. Interestingly, this means that bacteria that live well beneath Earth's surface might survive for a while, though life right at Earth's surface would be extinguished very rapidly on a time scale of years or less. A small number of people could survive a long time by drilling and creating a habitat deep down (miles below Earth's surface).
PASADENA-Long ago in a solar system not at all far away, there could have existed about five to 10 Earth-like planets in Jupiter-crossing orbits.
These planets today could harbor life somewhere in interstellar space, according to a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology.
In the July 1 issue of the journal Nature, Caltech professor Dave Stevenson says in a new study that such objects could be life-sustaining due especially to the molecular hydrogen they accreted when the solar system formed long ago.
Called "interstellar planets" because they would exist between the stars but no longer in orbit around an original parent star, they have never been directly observed or proved to even exist. But based on what scientists know about the way matter should fall together in forming a solar system, such Earth-like planets could definitely have been formed.
Over a period of several million years, one of two things happened to these planets: either they slammed into Jupiter and made it even bigger, or else they came so close to Jupiter that they were catapulted by gravity completely out of the solar system, never to return.
Because these bodies formed when the solar system was permeated with hydrogen gas, they retained a dense atmosphere of hydrogen, allowing them to have surfaces with temperatures not too different from Earth, and possibly water oceans.
Stevenson writes that in the absence of sunlight, the natural radioactivity inside an Earth-like planet would only be sufficient to raise the radiating temperature of the body to 30 degrees above absolute zero (that's about minus 400 Fahrenheit). But the expected dense hydrogen atmosphere would prevent the surface from radiating effectively-just like the greenhouse effect on Earth, but more so.
As a result, the surface could have a similar temperature to the current Earth surface, allowing water oceans and a surface pressure similar to that at the bottom of Earth's oceans. For this to happen, the interstellar planet would probably need to be at least half Earth's mass.
Therefore, the energy source would be much the same as that which drives geothermal energy and plate tectonics on Earth.
It is not known whether geothermal heat alone is sufficent to allow life to originate, and the amount of energy is small compared to sunlight, suggesting that the amount of biological activity would also be small. But the existence of life in such an environment would be of great interest even if the mass of living matter were small.
The heat energy, and especially variations in temperature, could potentially allow life to get going, Stevenson says.
"I'm not saying that these objects have life, but everyone agrees that life requires disequilibrium," he says. "So there has to be a way to get free energy, because that's what drives biochemical processes.
"These objects could have weather, variations in clouds, oceans...even lightning."
If life exists on such objects, an open question is how complex it could be, Stevenson says. "I don't think anyone knows what is required to drive biological evolution from simple to very complex systems."
These interstellar wanderers could also have arisen as a natural outcome of the formation of stars, and not just during the formation of the system we live in. In either case, such planets cannot be seen with present technology because they are so dark and cold-at least from Earth's vantage point.
Although these bodies may have warm surfaces, they would appear to us as very weak emitters of long-wavelength infrared radiation, much below current detection limits.
The best bet for even demonstrating that interstellar planets exist is to have some programmed search for occultations, he says. In other words, the object might pass occasionally in the direct line of sight between Earth and a star, and if instruments were watching, the light of the star might dim or even flicker out for a time.
Programs like this are already advocated for the purpose of looking for planets in orbit around other stars. But looking for interstellar planets would be even harder.
"All I'm saying is that, among the places you might want to consider for sustainable life, you might eventually want to look at these objects. They could be the most common location for life in the universe."

Camouflaging a Bandage
The only time I've been so obsessed with bandages was when I spied the jewel encrusted Cynthia Rowley's Limited Edition. This Chameleon Bandage takes the concept of band-aid protection a notch higher by becoming literally invisible. I suppose there must be some chemical elements to it. However the designers have not clarified it as yet. Imagine how cool will it be to sport a bandage that blends with your skin tone, especially for those awkward places on your chin or cheek!

It is believed that Jones suffered a heart attack, said State Patrol spokesman Trooper Russ Winger.
Highway 112 near Joyce was blocked in both directions from about 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. while paramedics with Clallam County Fire District No. 4 tried to save Jones, Winger said.
The State Patrol received reports of a car driving erratically on Highway 112 at about 4:30 p.m.
Winger said Jones, who was believed to have been driving alone, pulled over on his own.
There was no crash, Winger said.
"Fire[fighters] responded and [were] at the scene performing medical emergency CPR. They were unable to revive him," he said.

Web marketing can be a lucrative business that you can do without leaving your home. There is information you have to learn to be a successful affiliate marketer. The information in this article will help you to succeed, just as it has helped others in the past.
It is morally wrong to take advantage of the placement of cookies on your visitor's browsers. The best case scenario is that this simply irritates your visitors. At worst, this could spread viruses, or break customer tracking chains.
When researching internet marketing programs, learn how the company handles the commissions for orders, especially those that aren't handled through their website. If you are generating sales to that company you need to link them back to you.
Once you start bringing in a good amount of money, it doesn't hurt to ask the marketing program you joined for a higher payout. The affiliate promotion program will want to keep you aboard if you generate a lot of sales and would be more inclined to give you a pay raise.
Affiliate companies with a variety of ways to receive payments are the best way to go. While some companies only pay by check when you reach a predetermined amount, others allow you to send money directly to your bank account or to online payment accounts like AlertPay and Paypal.
Most people will ultimately unsubscribe, and you will have to find new customers. If you are attempting to attract new customers, be certain that you send them your best emails as a way to catch their interest.
Actual statistics are important. This lets you know how many users have been to your site and how many of them have made a purchase.
Try including trivia in your ad banners that allow people to answer to visit the site. Many readers will be driven crazy needing to know the answer. A discount for visitors who can answer your trivia question correctly may encourage more clicks on your banner ad.
In affiliate promotion programs, lifetime commissions are rarer than ever. The rewards can be so great they are worth checking out. Webmasters are paid a commission by affiliate vendors each time that a webmaster refers a client who then purchases a product. Oftentimes, the commission only applies to purchases made inside a specified time window. For this reason, it is worth your while to seek out these opportunities.
Write a note by hand, scan it, then put it up on your site. This allows your targeted customers to see that indeed there is a very real person doing everything behind the scenes, and they will be more likely to purchase a product from you. Does your handwriting look like a scribble? Find someone whose writing is clear.
Don't count on one or two affiliations to keep you afloat. Market a variety of products or services for a variety of vendors. Any base of operation in affiliate marketing could be threatened by having a limited amount of partners and products, especially in the event that any one of them shuts down or becomes less than profitable. If you think you could advertise more products than you currently are, search for additional products you might like to feature on your site.
Boost your sales by ensuring your site has plenty of links, but also be sure that those links are relevant to the content being provided. For example, a visitor would not be pleased if he or she clicked on a link that took him or her to a page selling Apple iPads when the link claimed to be about HP tablet PCs. You may think that this is a clever strategy, but this mismatch will simply make you appear untrustworthy to site visitors.
You must be truthful with visitors to be successful. A base of loyal readers can only be built through honesty and integrity in all of your business dealings. If readers can't trust the content on your website, they will avoid clicking your links.
You should do your best to have a good reputation. Presenting links should be subtle. This will prompt visitors to associate products directly with you rather than simply as an affiliate.
These tips have hopefully provided you with timely and helpful internet marketing advice. Even though you have this new information, you should still remain caught up with the latest information about web marketing so that you are certain to have the best results. You can supplement the profits you are generating by selling products and services on your site by using affiliate promotion. Just remember that it takes time to make money online. "

Gidgetsocal.. They did well on their travels.. A new bloom opened today!!!
Texas.. Awesome! You will love this one!! It is one that you can't keep your eye off of... Congratulations!!!
Goodnight everyone!!!
Laura - I just love seeing all the pictures of your beautiful blooms! You just have all the cool colors, don't you! ;)
I'm a sucker for pretty much anything orange!! My Firestorm is just a youngster that I acquired at the SCPS cutting sale in April. No blooms for me this year :(
That WAS me sitting in front of you at the SCPS meeting. My bro-in-law was sitting on my right and he won 2x in the raffle and me only once. Not bad for $10 worth of tickets!
I was planning to ask if that was really you after the raffle ended but when I turned around you were gone! I guess I will have to wait until next time to finally meet you in person.
BTW - do you happen know what those cuttings were in the zip-loc bags? I think you got one of them before me.
Keep up with the pictures and I'll just try to keep the drool off the keyboard!

Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com25Artifice is rodeo clowning for the script's flaws, with huge gaps of character development lost to a film that would rather stay on Hesher and his staring contests than tell a full-throated story.
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times50A grim little drama that seems to exist in order to give the talented Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman a chance to look extra-scruffy.
Matt Pais RedEye63Hesher's such a mystery that he seems like a device (bong hits with Grandma, really?), and the same goes double for [Portman's character].
Chris Cabin Filmcritic.com60the film really picks up whenever Gordon-Levitt appears
Michelle Orange Movieline60One by one the wheels start to come off, and before it's over you're working on your own metaphors for when the film fell apart instead of cleaving to those Susser is half-committing to the screen.
David Noh Film Journal InternationalFit for the scrap heap which provides one of the heavy-handed visual motifs here.
Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle40Hesher is a muddle of inchoate feelings that never really grasps the cliches to which it raises its middle finger.
Josh Bell Las Vegas Weekly60Hesher is funny and off-kilter without being cloying, and Gordon-Levitt gives an appealingly unpredictable performance.
Keith Uhlich Time Out New York60Sundancey redemption-trajectory aside, the film is often unsentimentally tough and committed.
Marshall Fine Hollywood & FineGordon-Levitt has an expressive deadpan, marvelous control of his eyebrows and an air of menace. His lean, leathery physique and flat-footed gait convey purpose.
Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews59...Gordon-Levitt and Piper Laurie make for one of the year's most intriguing screen couples.
Bill Weber Slant Magazine38The guitar solos blasting from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's sullen, arson-prone wasteoid's van can't drown out the dominant bleat of indie-therapy whine.
Fred Topel Screen JunkiesDangerous, immoral and just plain wrong at parts, and that makes it fantasy. I don't even think it's wish fulfillment. It's just putting bold concepts on screen and asking audiences to deal with them.
Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com17[VIDEO] "Hesher" is an experimental film that attempts to be transgressive. It isn't.
Eugene Novikov Film Blather67Fascinating in its shaggy, offbeat way.
Erik Childress Cinematical75It manages to succeed with a pastiche of great casting and an unapologetic slant towards being anti-touchy-feely. Until it needs to be.
Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Emporium90exactly the kind of film I was hoping I'd see at Sundance
Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine60Gordon-Levitt's Hesher is raw destruction and aggro comedy punctuated with a blast of crunching metal.
Tim Grierson Screen InternationalHesher is a risky gambit that's pleasingly provocative.

Chris Wallace On Michelle O: Speech Was "All About Government"
First off, even the AP can't help but note some of the issues
"He reminds me that we are playing a long game here … and that change is hard, and change is slow and it never happens all at once," she told a nation impatient with slow economic progress and persistently high unemployment of 8.3 percent. "But eventually, we get there, we always do," she said in a speech that blended scenes from 23 years of marriages with the Obamas' time in the White House.
And, just in time for the DNC, the US debt hit $16,000,000,000,000. As for Chris Wallace
(The Blaze) While Fox News political analyst Chris Wallace called first lady Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention "masterful" and heartfelt, he said he was struck by the fact that nearly all of her speech was about about the importance of government in the lives of Americans.
"I've got to say, listening closely to the speech one of the things that struck me was it was all about government," Wallace said Tuesday night during Fox News' coverage of the DNC. "When she talked at the beginning about the people who exemplify the best of the American spirit, she talked about teachers and first responders and the military, all very admirable professions, but all government."
He continued: "When she talked about ways to build the middle class, it was all about the auto bailout and student loans and health care reform, once again, all government programs…That was a subtle subtext to the entire speech."
No, I did not watch the speech. There's only so much pandering, lying, and patronizing I can take during an abortionfest. I did read the transcript this morning (hence the somewhat late posting times), and it is interesting to note that very little was said during her speech about the private sector. Perhaps that's why Team Obama attempted to distance itself from the "government is the only thing we belong to" video yesterday.
Also missing from most of the other speeches was any notion that the private sector is where it gets done (except to mention 4.5 million new jobs, which even CNN is not buying), and where the money comes from to allow government to operate. Because someone went out and put it all on the line to build their business.
