Rock Harbor on Cape Cod – Come For The Beach, Stay For The Sunsets
Sunsets on the beach. That phrase alone can conjure up powerful, peaceful images. A beautiful sunset, in a beautiful location, can make a bad day good, or a good day even better. Cape Cod has no shortage of beautiful places to catch a sunset. I have been privileged to live here my entire life and have seen thousands of sunsets from hundreds of locations. Choosing a personal favorite would be an impossible task as I have many. However, for any new visitor to the Cape I can recommend the place to catch your first sunset. That place is Rock Harbor in Orleans.

Legoland Discovery Center New York Trip Report
What is more exciting to kids than Legos? Here's our trip report of a toddler's first visit to Legoland Discovery Center in New York. My son could not wait to go and we invited some friends join us for the trip. Our friends purchased their tickets online prior to going, which is highly recommended to guarantee entry, and to take advantage of discounted online prices.
Rediscovering Camelot in The Land of the Kennedy's on Cape Cod
This past November, the nation paused to commemorate 50th anniversary of the assassination of one of the most iconic presidents in American history. Elected President at the age of 43, John F. Kennedy was the youngest man to ever hold that office. Kennedy's young family and his all-American background captured the hearts of the American people. Nicknamed "Camelot" for its idealism, the Kennedy Administration was respected and unique. The Kennedys were much easier to relate to than older, stuffier presidents of the past, and were quickly embraced by media as pop icons of the day.
Get Away For Some Sweet Maple Sugar Madness At New England Inns
Whether or not the old adage "In like a lion, out like a lamb" remains true, one thing can be counted on, March brings the beginning of Maple Sugaring season in New England. In 2013, the Northeastern United States produced 2.7 million gallons of maple syrup – Vermont alone was responsible for nearly half of that amount.
Considering those incredible numbers, and all the sugar houses offering demonstrations, tastings, and activities for children, New England makes a great escape during the spring months. The Maple Syrup region in the Northeast is like the kid-friendly version of Napa Valley.
Tiny and Trendy, World's Smallest Vacation Rentals That Deliver Big Memories
When I yearn to get away from the stress and break-neck pace of everyday life, I prefer to head somewhere snug and comfortable. Sure, you can find those adjectives in a 25-story luxury resort, if you're looking – but I think small. A lot smaller, in fact. 'Tiny houses' appear to be all the rage. Modest and minimalistic, a diminutive domicile can provide an excellent opportunity for clearing your mind and providing focus.
If you want to take the cozy experience for a test drive, there are a myriad of 'tiny' vacation rentals out there. From spaceship-inspired houses in the shadow of the towering Alps to Northwestern Oregon treehouses, the options wide and varied. Let's take a look at a few unique selections…

It's not too late to plan a sensational Valentines Day! Whether you're celebrating as a couple, as a family, or even on your own, we've got inspirational suggestions for making this year's Valentine's Day one you will remember for years to come.
Here are exciting and imaginative – unique ways to celebrate Valentine's Day this year:
Winter Fun With Kids in New York City
We have great recommendations for fun winter activities with kids in New York City. As we all know trying to find something to do with a toddler during the winter can be a challenge. Luckily, there are a lots to do here in NY.
We decided to visit the New York Botanical Gardens Train Show. We live about 15 minutes from the Botanical Gardens, but had never been there. We were graciously hosted by the garden to see the Holiday Train Show and see the rest of the garden.
Where To Find The World's Best Parties
The vast majority of travel guides that crowd dusty shelves in books stores and personal libraries tell you where to find the best hotels, countless museums and endless architecturally significant churches, but they're missing one of the most important reasons we travel – to discover where locals go to party!
Where To Party Around The World. The Matador Network, a community of young travel bloggers who tell it like it is, has just published the "ultimate guide to partying around the world", with 101 Places To Get F*cked Up Before You Die.
Top Attractions For Family Vacations in the United States – Surprise, Disney World Isn't on the List!
Families are always looking for great vacation spots to bring the kids. Here are our recommendations for top attractions for family vacations in the United States, and surprise, Disney World isn't on the list!
I live in Portland Oregon where, no joke, our biggest tourist attraction (for adults and kids alike) is Powell's Books – a bookstore with a collection so large that, in addition to its own three-story-tall city-block big building, it has started to take over the building across the street. It's also the grandfather of the used/new-side-by-side sales model that more and more independent bookstores are starting to adopt across the country. If your family ever finds itself in Portland, you'll have to see it.
Sesame Place – Not Just For Summer, A Childhood Treat All Winter Long
I was able to experience sesame place this past summer with my two year old son and share my experiences with you. As I look at activities to do in the winter to keep my now 2 ½ year busy, I look back at Sesame Place and see how many great events that they have throughout the year to enjoy. You sometimes think, that theme parks are just for the summer, but that's not always true. Many have great activities all year round.
During December, Sesame Place is planning A Very Furry Christmas, which is featured between November 23-December 31st.
Explore Essex MA – Where New Historic Walking Tour is a Treat
I recently gave myself an indulgent present on my birthday and spent a wonderful day exploring the quaint town of Essex, Massachusetts with my husband. I must say it was one of my best birthdays ever. Essex is located north of Boston in Cape Ann,bordered by Gloucester and Rockport. Although I've driven through many times, I had never stopped to explore. When I learned about the newly introduced Historic Walking Tour of Essex, I though it would make the perfect day away for my birthday celebration.
Thanksgiving Tips For the Big Apple – Tips For A Great New York Visit
Few places are more synonymous with the spirit and tradition of the holidays than New York City. Whether you indulge in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, infinite stores for holiday shopping, or the world-famous Rockettes at Radio City, the Big Apple is THE place to visit around Thanksgiving time. The fall air is crisp, the streets are packed, and everyone is in a festive holiday mood. What could be better?
Here are top tips and must-see attractions to check out while you're enjoying gala New York City during the Thanksgiving season.
Top Sports Hall of Fame Museums to Thrill Sports Fans of All Ages

New York's Top Must-Visit Art Galleries
Art Galleries You Shouldn't Miss Out On In New York
When it comes to New York's architecture and design, as well as the city's wealth of culture, you don't need an art degree to tell you what you like. Visited by millions every year, New York is one of the world's most spectacular cities, and it is able to offer tourists so much entertainment and attraction mainly because of its alternative social historical landmarks, many of which are a far cry from other iconic cities. If you're thinking of visiting the big apple this year, then let's take a look at some of the top art galleries you simply can't miss out on!
Toast A Ghost This Halloween – Haunted B&Bs With Nearby Vineyards
Ghosts are like a fine wine; their boo only gets better with age. The same can be said for the historic homes where they reside. These houses have seen people come and go, while some guests have decided to stay forever. They spend their days and nights walking up and down creaky stairs, crossing rooms in a shadowy veil, and floating objects in mid-air. It's probably because they have endless time on their translucent hands. You might slam a few doors, too.
On your next getaway to a haunted bed and breakfast, you can raise a toast with your fellow guests before listening to the innkeepers tell bone-chilling stories of past guests who never left.
3 Unlikely Places To Visit A Winery – Top US City Locations
Think you need to go to Napa, Long Island or Washington State to tour a winery and sample locally made wine? Think again, because you can find wineries producing their own wine in some well traveled but not-so-obvious places.
It was while living in New York City that I first had the opportunity to learn about wine, and it was there that I fell in love with it. Combine the city's wine and food with its history, architecture and culture and it's easy to see why the Big Apple is a place like no other. You wouldn't expect New York, a city known for busy streets and skyscrapers, to have a winery — but it actually has three!

Jasmine Leaf
User reviews

Delightful taste and scent (Thursday, February 19, 2015)
When I originally tried this tea, I was disappointed in it and wanted a stronger flavor. I don't know if I was brewing it with too hot of water or what I was doing wrong, because I am now a huge fan of Jasmine Leaf. The scent is perfect and the taste is delightful.
Jasmine Green Tes (Wednesday, December 31, 2014)
This is my favorite tea. Especially in the morning.I love the floral notes.
a tea for the senses (Tuesday, April 01, 2014)
This is my most favorite tea of late. I love the aroma and the lightness of this tea. I sip on this tea and smile
Excellent (Monday, March 31, 2014)
The Jasmine Leaf Green Tea has an awesome taste and I would buy it again in a future order.
Lovely aroma, mild taste (Saturday, September 07, 2013)
This tea has a lovely aroma of jasmine. The jasmine flavor is too mild for my taste. I prefer a bolder jasmine flavor. It's still a nice lightly flavored green tea, just doesn't suit my taste.
Jasmine (Friday, August 09, 2013)
I think this Jasmine tea is a great netural tea. Jasmine has a lovely flavor that is good on its own or combined. I find it to be a bit more robust but not in a bitter way. It is quite soothing
jasmine tea (Monday, June 17, 2013)
this is the first jasmine tea , all family members enjoy light mild and still just the right amount of flavor
Jasmine (Monday, April 01, 2013)
I love jasmine. It is by far one of my favorite flavors and this tea is delicious by far. Can be paired with another flavor for iced or just perfect on it's own hot. Delicious! A little goes a long way with jasmine as it is full bodied and so flavorfull
Jasmine leaf (Monday, February 25, 2013)
This by far my favorite tea. I have it every morning and it just starts my day.
Jasmine Green Tea (Wednesday, September 05, 2012)
Love this tea, it is most delicious and I drink it hot and cold.
Jasmine Leaf Green Tea (Saturday, June 23, 2012)
Love the flavor - it's southing and I also drink it with ice cubes - delicious
Jasmine Green Tea (Wednesday, May 02, 2012)
This is my treat, whether in the morning or in the evening while watching tv or reading. I love the delicate fragrance and flavor.
Loved this Garden! (Tuesday, January 10, 2012)
This tea is so yummy. I love the fragrance. It reminds me of an English Garden. The tes is smooth and light.

This is DISTURBING!!!....
by Heather's Thingies
posted Jun 10 2011 9:02AM
'Human Barbie' , Sarah Burge (50) has spent more than $800,000
on plastic surgery and procedures. Next month she plans to
have her 7 year old daughter Poppy sit in on her next round of surgeries,
so she can see what it's all about. Yes, Disturbing, but even more
DISTURBING...Poppy wants a boob job for her birthday.
So Sarah gave Poppy what she wanted..
Sarah gave Poppy a $10,000 voucher...
"Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she's 16, when it's legal. If she develops naturally big boobs, she can have something else done with it." Sounds like a reasonable, open-ended gift. Poppy, for her part, said, "I can't wait to be like Mummy with big boobs. They're pretty."

Non Play Store Free Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8G...it?usp=sharing
Paid ($1): https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...smonitorwidget
This is my first app, and I'm new to app development, so any feedback or tips are greatly appreciated. I have many plans for future features and updates that could improve or add to the ad. Also, any ratings or downloads help, thanks!
Updates from Version 4:
Update Version 4!
- Added a network section, it displays currently connected network, current upload speeds and download speeds that update every 3 seconds! It displays the speeds in megabits per second, but it can be changed to kilobytes per second in the advanced settings! However, network speeds are supported by most devices, and some may not support it.
- Improved performance on the configuration settings, it should scroll a lot faster and smoother now
- Added radio buttons for the text alignment in advanced settings, so now you can only choose one, and is a bit more clear
- Added multiple widget sizes for launchers that cannot re size widgets (2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4)
Update Version 4.1!
- Fixed a bug that stopped certain features from loading
Update Version 4.2!
- Fixed a bug that gives the value 0 for external storage in Samsung Note 3
Update Version 4.3!
- Added an Update interval setting in Advanced Settings!
Update Version 4.4!
- Added battery temperature in farenheit in advanced settings!
- You can now manually enter the path to your external storage in advanced settings if it is not working!
- Hopefully added some better performance with the widget settings
Update Version 4.5!
- Added 1x1 widget size
- Added semi transparent background color
- Reduced app size (Free Version Only)
Update Version 4.6!
- HUGE speed improvements, no more slowing down your device! (Tested with multiple devices)
- Added 25% and 75% transparent background colors!
Update Version 4.7!
- Cleaned up ALOT of code, should increase the performance of the app, possibly less 4th cpu core usage
- Hopefully fixed an issue some users were having with not being able to send text messages
- More tablet friendly! Should be less likely to crash on tablets that don't have cell connectivity
Update Version 4.8!
- Various code improvements and bug fixes
- Re-coded the multi-core readings from scratch. 4th core now working (Tested and proven)!
- Added an option in advanced settings to remove the CPU title (If present)
App Description: Looking for a Conky like, text based, system monitor for android? Tired of slow system monitor widgets making your beautiful phone look ugly, and want something better? Stats Monitor was created for exactly that. As an android user, I created this app off of my own needs and desires as an android user, to create minimalist, text based widget, that could show what's going on in your phone, while keeping the home screens looking beautiful and customizeable.
Updates every second - Keeps you up to date on all of your phone info and system monitoring!
Time - Easy to see AM/PM format and the current date
Battery - temperature, and percent left
System - Cpu (multi-core available), and uptime
Device Memory - Internal, external, sd card, and ram (Megabytes and Gigabytes setting)
Mobile Network - 3g, 4g, or wifi info (name)
Data Speeds - upload and download speeds (updates every 3 seconds for more accurate estimations)
Customizable - Can use widget settings to hide or display any of these things
Advanced Settings - Change tweak formats and settings and enable things like multi core cpu support!
Minimal - Beautiful, easy to see, and simple!
Text Settings - Change text and background colors to you liking!
Conky (Like) - Build your own widget, but without all of the complicated scripts!
Through my testing, I've found this to be the fastest, most minimalistic, most customize able, and most beautiful form of android system monitor widgets, and I hope you agree. I also can confirm, along with many others, that this widget does not kill your battery, since it only makes requests while your screen is on, so this widget can save you from draining you precious battery life while you are monitoring it. If you have any suggestions or problems please post below, and rate this five stars if you enjoy it. Thank you!
Internet (Free Only): to get Ad requests
Storage: to hopefully fix a crash report some devices have, and save user preferences
Network and Wifi: For the network section to grab network name, and speeds
Thanks please reply with feedback below!

As the Edward Snowden-National Security Agency scandal continues to unfold, new details from the Washington Post are emerging on sums secretly spent by the intelligence community under the so-called black budget. The figures in the $52.6 billion classified budget cover, like the unclassified federal budget, a wide range of accounts. One of the more ambiguous is cyber funding.
Spending on cybersecurity can be difficult to nail down – it is tucked away in many different line items, not always labeled cyber, and has come to pervade spending accounts and areas of attention throughout varying agency levels. For example, in fiscal 2014 the Defense Department is set to receive nearly $5 billion in cyber funding, up from $3.4 billion in 2013, but that money is scattered across the four services and the multitude of agencies and offices comprising the military.
Intel community IT spending exceeds that of many agencies
Leaked documents clarify classified IT spending
It is even more difficult to see how the intelligence community spends its black-budget money on cybersecurity, even with the release of the documents. Still, there are a handful of clearly discernible figures: According to the Post's documents, $4.3 billion was spent on "conducting cyber operations," both offensive and defensive.
"The CIA and the NSA have begun aggressive new efforts to hack into foreign computer networks to steal information or sabotage enemy systems, embracing what the budget refers to as 'offensive cyber operations,'" the Post story noted.
In another of the clearer examples of cyber spending, the National Security Agency received $1 billion for "computer network operations." It is not clear what exactly that money is used for, but by comparison, the Homeland Security Department received almost the same amount in fiscal 2014 – specifically for the protection of federal computer and networks against malicious cyber activity.
That $1 billion in DHS funding comes in addition to billions more for areas such as critical infrastructure protection, the National Protection and Programs Directorate and cybersecurity research and development.
A closer look at some of the leaked National Intelligence Program budget documents reveal more specific, but not necessarily transparent, cyber funding. Under the NSA's Consolidated Cryptologic Program, roughly $139 million in fiscal 2013 went toward cyber analysis activities, a decrease of $7.3 million from 2012. A separate account under the CCP, cyber cryptanalysis, received a $4 million boost to $115 million in fiscal 2013.
In the Defense Foreign Counterintelligence Program, the Defense Cyber Crime Center received $19.3 million, a boost of roughly $1.4 million over fiscal 2012.
While the intelligence community remains focused on traditional types of terrorism, the increasing focus on cybersecurity is clear, even if exactly what is being bought and carried out is not.
"The United States has made a considerable investment in the intelligence community since the terror attacks of 9/11, a time which includes wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction technology, and asymmetric threats in such areas as cyber-warfare," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a written response in the Post. "Our budgets are classified as they could provide insight for foreign intelligence services to discern our top national priorities, capabilities and sources and methods that allow us to obtain information to counter threats."

Trash in the Limelight
The celeb culture in this country has become a rancid joke. They focus all their attention on dysfunctional people. These fools are made out to be important, while those who do real things of importance are ignored. And it seems they push these broken people on to greater acts of desperation to see more attention. Witness this.
Fortunately for Lindsy, she was just sentenced to 90 days in jail. I say fortunately, because it may be the wake up call she needs to bust out of her insane cycle of foolishness. We'll see.
But the media will find some other mess to focus on when they get bored with her. It was Britney and Paris before her, there will be someone else. As long as people buy these trash magazines, this kind of thing will continue. And our culture is the lesser for it.

For them to call him the greatest entertainer who ever lived pretty lame considering his active career on his own was really only about 15 years. He stopped doing fresh material in the mid-90s. His "comeback tour" which he killed himself trying to get out of, was only a greatest hits live performance. And he said that would be the last tour.
Great performers have some kind of longevity. Elvis died young but he was working pretty much up till the end and produced hit records every time he turned out an album, which were many. Jackson barely produced work and it was to diminishing returns.
Despite what the droolers in the press had to say, his new show didn't look all that exceptional from the leaked tape. But whatever. He has fanatical fans.
Meanwhile, the MSM ignores real news.
Jacko was Guilty
I'm really disturbed how the media is lionizing Michael Jackson these days with nary a mention of the fact he was accused on multiple occasions of child molesting and he slept with young boys for years until it finally became too hot for him to do so.
A newly released video of him being interviewed by lawyers does not make him look good in my eyes. He has a history of telling extreme lies (like he has only had two plastic surgery operations, for example). In the video he does not look like he is very serious with his denials. Some of the worst acting I have ever seen.
As you know, if you read this blog, my one meeting with Jacko pretty much proved to me he was a pederast. Yet i you watch the news lately he's some head of state instead of a druggie child molester. (Ok, irony aside…)
My Michael Jackson Experience
I met Michael Jackson just once back in 1993. It was only months before the story broke that he was accused of sexually molesting the then 13 year old Jordy Chandler.
Like a lot of people before that scandal, I was an admirer of his music. I grew up listening to the Jackson Five and later Michael Jackson's solo efforts. I wasn't a huge fan, but I bought most of his CDs.
Coincidentally, I was living in Encino, California in 1993. The Jackson family lived not far from me. I would see Joe Jackson at the supermarket or Randy at the car wash. But I never expected to meet Michael.
About once a week I would go over the hill to Golden Apple Comics on Melrose. It was owned by a friend, the late Bill Liebowitz, and I also had a bunch of friends who worked there. They told me Michael was a frequent customer. He would go there with a group of kids and buy them whatever they wanted. He would often spend thousands on those days, so he was a favorite customer.
I asked one of my friends there if Michael bought any comics for himself. He said sure. So I said what kind of books does he read? He said "Anything with kids in them." I remember thinking: "Brrr!" at the time.
Sure, that could be innocent and all, but there were all those stories even then of Michael having kids with him all the time. Which is kind of odd for a grown man, but Michael Jackson was never known for being normal.
Everyone I know who knew him personally said he was a very nice guy, kind of quiet and he did a lot with charity. No one had a bad thing to say about him. But I did detect a certain cautious vibe when discussing Michael with my friends at the store. They didn't say why, but they felt he was weird. And this is from people who worked at a store on Melrose in L.A.
So one day I came in the store and one of my friends told me Jackson was in the store. And there he was, over by the comics rack. He had his arm around someone like he was on a date. That someone was Jordy Chandler.
I walked over to the long racks and pretended not to notice them. Jackson has his people with him including his driver. That driver was to later be a witness against Jackson in his trial.
Jackson was whispering in Jordy's ear and they were acting totally like people on a date. It was not the kind of behavior a couple of straight guys do together. Then they went back in the store in the employee area and disappeared. They were gone for a half hour. I stuck around and talked to my friends, just shooting the breeze. I assumed Jackson left by the back door to avoid people. But Bill the owner asked me if I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, and I said, sure.
Jackson reappeared, and left the store. I went out there with Bill and he introduced me. Jordy had detached from Michael and went to the car which was a black SUV. I didn't shake hands with Jackson, I only got to exchange pleasantries. But I noticed something, when I tried to look him in the eyes, he had this very evasive, almost crazed look.
Now, I have met a lot of celebrities so I don't really see them as anything other than people who work in the entertainment business. No celeb has ever awed me and Jackson was no different. I know he wasn't acting weird because of me. I got the sense something was going on. Either he was nuts or on something at the time. Because that was a weird look in his eyes.
After they took off, I went back in the store to buy some comics and I asked one of my friends what they were doing in the back room for so long. He said Michael and Jordy were in the bathroom for a half hour.
I said, huh? He said that's not unusual for him.
Now, I don't know what they did in there, but it was a small one person bathroom. And I can only think of a couple reasons two people would go into a small bathroom together. One of the nice reasons is they were helping the other with their costume. He wasn't wearing anything hat out of the ordinary. So that leaves the other two reasons, since we can assume Jordy is potty trained at 13. Sex or drugs.
When the story about the molestation broke a few months later, that pretty much made up my mind which reason it was.
A lot of people say Michael Jackson did not molest kids. Maybe not. But I have a hard time believing it.
Everyone I know, who worked with Michael had great things to say about him, so I suppose he wasn't a bad person. But if you have followed his story closely, he was no saint either. He actively worked to insure his brothers would never succeed. He reneged on deals constantly and didn't pay people he owed money to.
There will be a lot of stories coming out about him and his defenders will work hard to try to canonize him. But the truth is a lot more complex.
UPDATE: Now Chandler is claiming nothing happened. I think he is embarrassed by teh while thing now that he's an adult. He cold have come out while MJ was alive, but no.
I stand by my story.

Wow! Here's a great trip down Memory Lane for geeks like me. Seems like yesterday I was using Gopher and "Pamela Anderson" was the meta-keyword of choice of just about every slime-ball website out there trying to drive traffic by faking out search engines. Hard to believe it's been 25 years. And it's mind-blowing to think about how much has changed with Google Search since Panda and Penguin. Panda's release was less than 4 years ago.
So what will the future hold? Douglass Karr in his Marketing Tech Blog says, "Now the strategy for search is to ensure your site's infrastructure follows best practices, your site is as fast as possible, your content is relevant, you update your site frequently, and your content is shared throughout the web. That means that promotion is becoming a key strategy to ensure ranking for great content."
Is your small biz website following best practices? Are you willing to budget what it takes and/or spend the time and effort it takes on SEO to get your brand in front of the most eyes possible?

Host Club Halloween"Haruhi!"Host Club Halloween in Humor More Like This
Oh, no. What did he want this time? Haruhi knew she should have started running once she had left the school grounds. Something deep inside of her had known that he was going to find a reason to come with her. He'd probably bring the rest of the Host Club too, throwing the rest of her day into chaos in the process.
The brunette sighed and watched her breath turn into a small cloud of fog before her. She clutched her jacket tightly at the ends of the sleeves, as if it would ward away the cool October air. Then she stopped, but did not turn around, as she waited for her friend to catch up with her.
Smack Smack Smack! Clack Clack Clack! Clip Clip Clip!
Haruhi resisted the urge to sigh again upon realizing that more than one set of footsteps was coming up behind her. Yes, the entire club was coming along, just as she had suspected they might. Now they were all going to try to accompany her to the market. Perhaps they were trying to use it as

- Career Opportunities
I worked at Fermi Research Alliance full-timePros
Good people. Committed to the laboratory mission of extending the bounds of the understanding of nature and physics. There is always something to learn both in the IT field and a wide variety of scientific areas. Where else can you meet world leaders in science and even met Nobel laureates? And contribute to the very foundation of knowledge and innovation that has positioned the US as a world leader in science.Cons
IT leadership has fractured, incomplete strategic vision at best. There is an appreciation of the needs of science, but little practicality or business acumen to drive consistent, long term strategy. Staff hours and budget are squandered on pet projects and ill conceived initiatives that often peter out and never deliver. IT management is not held accountable for delivering value. IT management is often disrespectful and unsupportive of staff. Much too much effort is invested in the appearance of quality and best practices, with little discipline applied to the actual long term improvement of quality or adoption of best practices. The budgeting processes for IT invest too much time in a meaningless level of detail with no strategy for overall optimization of budgeting. Staff and middle management are not empowered, so the smallest decisions require management involvement at the upper and executive levels.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop staring at the hood ornament and look far down the road. Spend time setting and maintaining long term strategy while empowering and supporting your team to develop and implement the tactics to support the strategy. And adopt ROI evaluation into decision making to justify why and how you are spending the US tax payers money. And hold IT accountable for providing tangible, measurable value to the mission of the laboratory and the nation.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Detecting gases wirelessly and cheaply
New sensor can transmit information on hazardous chemicals or food spoilage to a smartphone.MIT chemists have devised a new way to wirelessly detect hazardous gases and environmental pollutants, using a simple sensor that can be read by a smartphone. These inexpensive sensors could be widely deployed, making it easier to monitor public spaces or detect food spoilage in warehouses. Using this system, the researchers have demonstrated that they can detect gaseous ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and cyclohexanone, among other gases. The beauty of these sensors is that they are really cheap. You put them up, they sit there, and then you come around and read them. Theres no wiring involved. Theres no power, says Timothy Swager, the John D. MacArthur Professor of Chemistry at MIT. You can get quite imaginative as to what you might want to do with a technology like this. Swager is the senior author of a paper describing the new sensors in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Dec. 8. Chemistry graduate student Joseph Azzarelli is the papers lead author; other authors are postdoc Katherine Mirica and former MIT postdoc Jens Ravnsbaek. Versatile gas detection For several years, Swagers lab has been developing gas-detecting sensors based on devices known as chemiresistors, which consist of simple electrical circuits modified so that their resistance changes when exposed to a particular chemical. Measuring that change in resistance reveals whether the target gas is present. Unlike commercially available chemiresistors, the sensors developed in Swagers lab require almost no energy and can function at ambient temperatures. This would allow us to put sensors in many different environments or in many different devices, Swager says. The new sensors are made from modified near-field communication (NFC) tags. These tags, which receive the little power they need from the device reading them, function as wirelessly addressable barcodes and are mainly used for tracking products such as cars or pharmaceuticals as they move through a supply chain, such as in a manufacturing plant or warehouse. NFC tags can be read by any smartphone that has near-field communication capability, which is included in many newer smartphone models. These phones can send out short pulses of magnetic fields at radio frequency (13.56 megahertz), inducing an electric current in the circuit on the tag, which relays information to the phone. To adapt these tags for their own purposes, the MIT team first disrupted the electronic circuit by punching a hole in it. Then, they reconnected the circuit with a linker made of carbon nanotubes that are specialized to detect a particular gas. In this case, the researchers added the carbon nanotubes by drawing them onto the tag with a mechanical pencil they first created in 2012 (http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2012/drawing-with-a-carbon-nanotube-pencil-1009), in which the usual pencil lead is replaced with a compressed powder of carbon nanotubes. The team refers to the modified tags as CARDs: chemically actuated resonant devices. When carbon nanotubes bind to the target gas, their ability to conduct electricity changes, which shifts the radio frequencies at which power can be transferred to the device. When a smartphone pings the CARD, the CARD responds only if it can receive sufficient power at the smartphone-transmitted radio frequencies, allowing the phone to determine whether the circuit has been altered and the gas is present. Current versions of the CARDs can each detect only one type of gas, but a phone can read multiple CARDs to get input on many different gases, down to concentrations of parts per million. With the current version of the technology, the phone must be within 5 centimeters of the CARD to get a reading, but Azzarelli is currently working with Bluetooth technology to expand the range. Widespread deployment The researchers have filed for a patent on the sensing technology and are now looking into possible applications. Because these devices are so inexpensive and can be read by smartphones, they could be deployed nearly anywhere: indoors to detect explosives and other harmful gases, or outdoors to monitor environmental pollutants. Once an individual phone gathers data, the information could be uploaded to wireless networks and combined with sensor data from other phones, allowing coverage of very large areas, Swager says. The researchers are also pursuing the possibility of integrating the CARDs into smart packaging that would allow people to detect possible food spoilage or contamination of products. Swagers lab has previously developed sensors (http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2012/fruit-spoilage-sensor-0430) that can detect ethylene, a gas that signals ripeness in fruit. Avoiding food waste currently is a very hot topic; however, it requires cheap, easy-to-use, and reliable sensors for chemicals, e.g., metabolites such as ammonia that could indicate the quality of raw food or the status of prepared meals, says Wolfgang Knoll, a managing director of the Austrian Institute of Technology, who was not part of the research team. The concept presented in this paper could lead to a solution for a long-lasting need in food quality control. The CARDs could also be incorporated into dosimeters to help monitor worker safety in manufacturing plants by measuring how much gas the workers are exposed to. Since its low-cost, disposable, and can easily interface with a phone, we think it could be the type of device that someone could wear as a badge, and they could ping it when they check in in the morning and then ping it again when they check out at night, Azzarelli says. The research was funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Army Research Office through the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies; the MIT Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation; and the National Cancer Institute.

Lawrence Livermore researchers develop efficient method to produce nanoporous metals
Nanoporous metals foam-like materials that have some degree of air vacuum in their structure have a wide range of applications because of their superior qualities. They posses a high surface area for better electron transfer, which can lead to the improved performance of an electrode in an electric double capacitor or battery. Nanoporous metals offer an increased number of available sites for the adsorption of analytes, a highly desirable feature for sensors. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) researchers have developed a cost-effective and more efficient way to manufacture nanoporous metals over many scales, from nanoscale to macroscale, which is visible to the naked eye. The process begins with a four-inch silicon wafer. A coating of metal is added and sputtered across the wafer. Gold, silver and aluminum were used for this research project. However, the manufacturing process is not limited to these metals. Next, a mixture of two polymers is added to the metal substrate to create patterns, a process known as diblock copolymer lithography (BCP). The pattern is transformed in a single polymer mask with nanometer-size features. Last, a technique known as anisotropic ion beam milling (IBM) is used to etch through the mask to make an array of holes, creating the nanoporous metal. During the fabrication process, the roughness of the metal is continuously examined to ensure that the finished product has good porosity, which is key to creating the unique properties that make nanoporous materials work. The rougher the metal is, the less evenly porous it becomes. During fabrication, our team achieved 92 percent pore coverage with 99 percent uniformity over a 4-in silicon wafer, which means the metal was smooth and evenly porous, said Tiziana Bond, an LLNL engineer who is a member of the joint research team. The team has defined a metric based on a parametrized correlation between BCP pore coverage and metal surface roughness by which the fabrication of nanoporous metals should be stopped when uneven porosity is the known outcome, saving processing time and costs. The real breakthrough is that we created a new technique to manufacture nanoporous metals that is cheap and can be done over many scales avoiding the lift-off technique to remove metals, with real-time quality control, Bond said. These metals open the application space to areas such as energy harvesting, sensing and electrochemical studies. The lift-off technique is a method of patterning target materials on the surface of a substrate by using a sacrificial material. One of the biggest problems with this technique is that the metal layer cannot be peeled off uniformly (or at all) at the nanoscale. Other applications of nanoporous metals include supporting the development of new metamaterials (engineered materials) for radiation-enhanced filtering and manipulation, including deep ultraviolet light. These applications are possible because nanoporous materials facilitate anomalous enhancement of transmitted (or reflected) light through the tunneling of surface plasmons, a feature widely usable by light-emitting devices, plasmonic lithography, refractive-index-based sensing and all-optical switching. The other team members include ETH researcher Ali Ozhan Altun and professor Hyung Gyu Park. The teams findings were reported in an article titled Manufacturing over many scales: High fidelity macroscale coverage of nanoporous metal arrays via lift-off-free nanofrabication. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/admi.201400084/abstract) It was the cover story in a recent issue of Advanced Materials Interfaces.

3D printed nanostructures made entirely of graphene
Graphene has received a great deal of attention for its promising potential applications in electronics, biomedical and energy storage devices, sensors and other cutting-edge technological fields, mainly because of its fascinating properties such as an extremely high electron mobility, a good thermal conductivity and a high elasticity.The successful implementation of graphene-based devices invariably requires the precise patterning of graphene sheets at both the micrometer and nanometer scale. Finding the ideal technique to achieve the desired graphene patterning remains a major challenge. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is becoming a viable alternative to conventional manufacturing processes in an increasing number of applications ranging from children toys to cars, fashion, architecture, military, biomedical science, and aerospace, to name a few. For the first time, researchers have now demonstrated 3D printed nanostructures composed entirely of graphene using a new 3D printing technique. The research team, led by Professor Seung Kwon Seol from Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI), has published their findings in the November 13, 2014 online edition of Advanced Materials ("3D Printing of Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanowires" (http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1002/adma.201404380)) "We developed a nanoscale 3D printing approach that exploits a size-controllable liquid meniscus to fabricate 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanowires," Seol explains. "Different from typical 3D printing approaches which use filaments or powders as printing materials, our method uses the stretched liquid meniscus of ink. This enables us to realize finer printed structures than a nozzle aperture, resulting in the manufacturing of nanotructures." The researchers note that their novel solution-based approach is quite effective in 3D printing of graphene nanostructures as well as in multiple-materials 3D nanoprinting. "We are convinced that this approach will present a new paradigm for implementing 3D patterns in printed electronics," says Seol. For their technique, the team grew graphene oxide (GO) wires at room temperature using the meniscus formed at the tip of a micropipette filled with a colloidal dispersion of GO sheets, then reduced it by thermal or chemical treatment (with hydrazine). The deposition of GO was obtained by pulling the micropipette as the solvent rapidly evaporated, thus enabling the growth of GO wires. The researchers were able to accurately control the radius of the rGO wires by tuning the pulling rate of the pipette; they managed to reach a minimum value of ca. 150 nm. Using this technique, they were able to produce arrays of different freestanding rGO architectures, grown directly at chosen sites and in different directions: straight wires, bridges, suspended junctions, and woven structures. "So far, to the best of our knowledge, nobody has reported 3D printed nanostructures composed entirely of graphene," says Seol. "Several results reported the 3D printing (millimeter- or centimeter-scale) of graphene or carbon nanotube/plastic composite materials by using a conventional 3D printer. In such composite system, the graphene (or CNT) plays an important role for improving the properties of plastic materials currently used in 3D printers. However, the plastic materials used for producing the composite structures deteriorate the intrinsic properties of graphene (or CNT)." He points out that this 3D nanoprinting approach can be used for manufacturing 2D patterns and 3D architectures in diverse devices such as printed circuit boards, transistors, light emitting devices, solar cells, sensors and so on. Reducing the 3D printable size to below 10 nm and increasing the production yield still remain challenges, though. Source: Nanowerk (http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=38253.php)
