As I said earlier, Linux kernel is simple and uses an naive approach. It is easy to modify, whereas the Solaris kernel is complex and mature. You know that an complex construction is more difficult to modify, dont you? And as I said, Linux is found on large clusters because they only do one thing: number crunching and nothing else. It is easy to rip the Linux kernel apart to do that, due to it's naive approach.
For Linux bad scaling or not, there are lots of links on the internet saying that they have problems with Linux bad scaling, and bad code in it's buggy kernel. Or do you disagree with Linux kernel developer Andrew Morton? No matter what you say, these links on bad Linux scaling will be there. They will not disappear. So if Linux scales so well, surely those links about bad scaling would not exist. On the other hand, I have found NO links about Solaris scaling bad. None. The question is if Linux scales badly (according some companies), not if Solaris scales badly, because it does not.
Of course you could rip the Solaris kernel apart to do number crunching, if you only knew it's elaborate and complicated structure. But that is not easy. Linux is good enough for that. But for ordinary OS usage, lots of links says that Linux scales bad.
And, "the less the code the better" - is Bull shit??? Erhm. Well, maybe you dont know that, but if you have much code, then there will be lots of potential bugs. It is easier to find bugs in less code than lots of code. And as Andrew Morton says, the Linux kernel is riddled with bugs.
But the good thing is that Linux and Solaris are quite similar, theyre both Unix-like. I started with Linux, but found back then, that Linux was quite immature, developed by some finnish teenager. And everything I learnt on Linux, I could immediately use on Solaris. Theyre both "Unix". The step between Windows and Plan9 would be huge. But for me, theyre quite similar. And if I get bored on Solaris, I just switch back to Linux - and everything Ive learnt on Solaris, I have with me to Linux. No loss of learning, nor time. Easy to switch back and forth, both OSes has gcc, gnu, vim/emacs, eclipse, KDE/gnome, vlc player, etc. No big difference. And there is also an Solaris distro which is similar to fedora (?) but with the Solaris kernel, everything else is almost the same.
Solaris and Linux share more together, than they differ. Easy to switch between them. No loss of time or learning.

Completely agree on all accounts @Devil_Rising. Beautifully said. I am just so TIRED of LAZY devs not taking the time to understand and engineer properly and accordingly to the Wii U. The easy way out is to say, "Hey! This is only 3 GHz compared to 3.2 GHz, it's too slow and won't work." Right... a 2.2 GHz sandy-bridge i7 is WAY slower than a 3.8 GHz Pentium 4... Sure if a program isn't DESIGNED to utilize the "newer" tech, then yeah a program built for a faster pentium 4 and LAZILY ported to a newer CPU that's clockspeed is "slower" won't perform as well. Give it a year or two and these complaints will be behind us.
Again, an i7 is a 6 core processor, a Pentium 4 is a one core processor, this isn't the same situation. A Wii U has a three core CPU and the 360 has a three core CPU. Yes there is newer architecture in the Wii U, yes, but a 2013 Chevy Volt still won't outperform a 2007 Mustang, the 360 being the Mustang. The 360 is believed to be clocked faster and has more threads, the Wii U is clocked slower with fewer threads and is based off of a low power laptop CPU, while the 360 is based off of a desktop CPU.
Enter the GPGPU, yes it will be able to compensate in some ways but it will need to walk in lock step with the CPU to do what the 360 CPU does on it's own. Maybe it will be able to achieve 120-150% more performance, but will it be worth the trouble? The Wii could run a lap around the PS2 yet the top tear PS2 games look better in most cases then the top tear Wii games because the AAA developers actually cared about PS2 games. What I'm saying is that like the Wii, even if there is more power to squeeze out of the Wii U developers will be reluctant to take the time to tailor games to it, as they were for the Wii, or the PS3 for that matter. When the other guys get their systems out and game development shifts gears the Wii U will be left behind just like the Wii was after it's initial strong PS2/Xbox ports like Scarface, Godfather & Bully 2 leaving only the exclusives (some good, some awful) and watered down ports (mostly garbage).
I'm just trying to counter blind faith with logic here, so don't get up in arms.
I am not doubting your technical prowess, but to start, there are VERY FEW hex-core i7 CPU's (like the 980X and 3930K) most are quad-core. And "Wii U is clocked slower with fewer threads" are still things we don't OFFICIALLY know. As well as the Wii U being a triple-core vs. a quad-core. We really don't know. The 360 has a triple-core with dual threading. If the Wii U has less threads than that, that means it really would be single-threaded. I'M not counting it out, but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT it has single threads. Heck, looking at the POWER7 series of IBM are all QUAD-threaded. Again, we aren't SURE, but from the devs I personally talked to it seems that the CPU could be the quad-core flavor from anywhere from 2.5 GHz to 3.0 GHz CPU. Nintendo has apparently locked one core away for "behind the scenes functions" and let devs have access to only 3 cores dedicated for games. I really feel that when devs get to understand the U's architecture that we will really see a nice jump in game quality.

More than 85 million children worldwide are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including trafficking for commercial sex exploitation and hazardous physical labor. We work to prevent the exploitation of children, protect the most vulnerable, and bring healing to children who have been exploited. The following accomplishments represent some of our 2014 impact:
vulnerable children enrolled in school
Thanks to World Vision U.S. donors.
people equipped to recognize, report, and respond to abuse, exploitation, and violence against children
Thanks to U.S. Department of Labor grants to address child labor.
vulnerable children and survivors of abuse, exploitation, and violence received critical support such as counseling, shelter, or help reintegrating into family and community life
Thanks to World Vision U.S. donors.
World Vision is currently implementing the Ethiopians Fighting Against Child Exploitation (E-FACE) project, funded by the United States Department of Labor (USDOL), to provide support to the country in addressing child labor. The primary focus centers on education aimed at sustainably reducing the number of children aged 5-17 years old engaged in and at risk of child labor in the weaving, agricultural, and other sectors in the target areas.
E-FACE's external mid-term evaluation in December 2013 found that one of the project's strongest areas is its coordination with government and community structures. The project contributed to the adoption of the National Action Plan to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor. In addition, the education initiatives are very effective with reported substantial increases in attendance, including children who are not direct beneficiaries of the project, but whose families have enrolled them due to the improved education conditions.
Read the full evaluation here (pdf) >
In the Eastern European country of Georgia, World Vision raises awareness and understanding of the issues affecting children living and working on the streets. World Vision helps those children return to their families and society by providing access to formal and informal education opportunities. By the end of the two-year project, the number of families sending their children to work on the streets decreased by 20 percent.
World Vision defines child protection as all efforts to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and other forms of violence against children — especially the most vulnerable.
World Vision seeks to create a protective environment around children, such that they not only survive but thrive in their communities. World Vision's programs strive to ensure that physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the most vulnerable children are met within caring and protective families and communities — focusing on activities that prevent them from falling into crisis or harmful situations; protect those who are in immediate danger through responsive care and improved capacity of service providers to respond; and restore child survivors of abuse, exploitation, or violence through appropriate community-based care.
World Vision works in partnership with local hospitals, schools, community leaders, faith communities, and law enforcement agencies to ensure that child protection is a priority. We encourage community stakeholders to raise awareness and advocate for child rights and protection, to speak out against harmful attitudes and practices, and to identify and respond to abuse and exploitation when they encounter it.
World Vision focuses on the most vulnerable — children separated from family care, who live or work on the street, who are affected by disaster or conflict, who are not in school — and provides targeted education for these children on what trafficking is and recruitment techniques that traffickers use. By providing vulnerable children with access to quality education and supporting families to meet children's immediate needs, such as food and housing, we are making a significant contribution toward preventing child slavery and trafficking.
World Vision protects children by looking out for their well-being: ensuring that communities are actively working to identify and support children in need; advocating for children's rights; and providing for immediate needs, such as emergency shelter and essential care.
Advocating for the rights of children is an important part of our work, both in the communities where we work, and on a national level here in the United States to influence legislation that protects vulnerable children. Our work with the most vulnerable in communities where child abuse and exploitation are prevalent informs national advocacy both at home and abroad to improve upon systems for child protection.
Children who have been abused or exploited need time and care in order to recover. World Vision works to restore and reunite children with their families and communities when possible and appropriate. But we start by helping children who've been exploited to heal through medical, legal, and psychosocial services, providing life and livelihood skills and education opportunities. Often, this means providing a safe place for children to go while offering counseling and recovery activities.

Colon faces Hellickson, streaking Rays
Hellickson, 3-0 with a 2.51 ERA over five starts in 2012, has not factored into a decision in two career outings against the Athletics, but his Rays have won 12 of their past 13 games and last year's American League Rookie of the Year is feeling confident.
"I've seen them a few times, I don't see them a lot," Hellickson said about Oakland. "They've had a little bit of success against me. I think it can work both ways. They don't see me much. ... I feel really good right now."
Oakland will counter with veteran Bartolo Colon, who has been a pleasant surprise for the Athletics and carried the fifth-best WHIP in the American League into Friday's action.
Colon has pitched seven-plus innings in five of his six starts and has allowed two runs or less in four consecutive outings.
"He's got such a strong hand, such strong fingers," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Colon, who took a shutout into the ninth inning against Baltimore in his last outing before suffering the loss. "He's got like four different pitches. He's tough."
The right-hander is 3-2 with a 2.53 ERA this season and has a career 3.31 career ERA at Tropicana Field, his third-best mark against teams he's started at least 10 games against.
Oakland had a modest two-game winning streak snapped in Friday's loss, losing the first of the three-game set after going 5-2 against the Rays last season.
Rays: Home sweet home
• The Rays have won 10 consecutive games at home and, with a win Saturday, can match their franchise-best streak of 11 straight, set in 2008.
Tampa is 13-1 at Tropicana Field this season, a year after winning the fourth-most home games in the AL with 47.
Hellickson, who will make his third home start of the year Saturday, is 2-0 with a 0.83 ERA at the Trop this year and in his last 11 home starts is 6-1 with a 2.14 ERA.
• B.J. Upton, who didn't play in Thursday's matchup against Seattle due to tightness in his quadriceps, was back in action Friday and continued his hot start.
Upton didn't play his first game of the season until April 20 after recovering from a back injury sustained in Spring Training, but has provided the Rays with the type of production they have come to expect from him -- and will need in the absence of All-Star Evan Longoria.
The center fielder has multihit games in four of his past six contests, collecting four extra-base hits over that stretch, while increasing his average to .350 on the season.
Athletics: Runs hard to come by
• The Athletics have scored the fewest runs in the AL this season and face a difficult task against a Tampa rotation that entered Friday tied with Oakland for the third-best ERA in the AL.
The major difference between the two teams is that the Rays are providing their starters plenty of support by scoring the fifth-most runs in the league entering Friday.
Free-agent acquisition Jonny Gomes is Oakland's only player with an OPS above .800 and rookie Yoenis Cespedes is the only member of the A's that has driven in more than 10 runs on the year.
• Cespedes has had an impressive start to his Major League career, leading all rookies with five homers and 20 RBIs entering Friday, while leading all AL rookies with 10 extra-base hits.
With a hit in Friday's loss to Tampa, Cespedes extended his personal-best hitting streak to five games.

See the tabs below for all products and tools used in this technique, plus any additional tips that may be helpful to you!
String a bead or beads onto a head pin.
Cut the head pin, leaving 3/8".
Bend the wire at the top of the bead to a 90° angle with chain nose pliers or your fingers.
Grasp the end of the wire with round nose pliers so the wire is flush with the tool.
Rotate the pliers to form a loop.
Continue turning the wire until a complete loop is formed.
To open the loop, grasp the side of the loop closest to the opening with chain nose pliers and move this side of the loop toward you.
Attach the loop to your desired location. To close the loop, grasp the open side with chain nose pliers and move away from you until the loop is closed and the end of the wire is flush with the base of the loop.
To make a smaller loop, work closer to the tip of the round nose pliers.
If you want to make a larger loop, start with a piece of wire longer than 3/8" and make the loop further back from the tip of the round nose pliers.

Do below: Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing

City Serenity
This backyard is our private little park in the middle of the city. When you step onto our deck you forget you are anywhere near an urban environment. A stream meanders down the slope, through the yard, cascading over seven waterfalls, under a stone bridge, finally flowing gently into a sparkling pond. Ferns, flowers and ornamental trees grace every corner. A bright Japanese Wakin goldfish cavorts in the pond and Northern Green frogs sit on the large stones surrounding the pond. Four, sometimes five pure white water lilies rest on the surface of the rippling water. The deck is immersed in shade and we swear that the nearly constant breeze keeps this private oasis 10 degrees cooler than the city streets. You can sit on the bridge and cool your feet in the stream or sit on the lower deck and wait for the perfect photo opportunity of sparrows, robins, cardinals, black cap chickadees or big ol' blue jays bathing in the stream or at the pond's edge. Every rock, every board, every plant, every stone, every yard of pea gravel and mulch had to be carried in on our shoulders or in buckets, through the gate, across the deck and down the steps. We started out with a slope, a rotten, broken down fence, a few ferns, a lot of weeds and soil like dust. We think we've done alright for a couple of girls :) This is our YardShare. Hope you enjoy the view :)

Bill Maher defends Christianity? Has he lost his mind?
Bill Maher, whom we all know interviews Brian Levin a radically liberal professor who directs the "Center for hate and extremism" and Professor Levin begins to compare violent Islam to Christianity and Bill Maher says, "Comparing Christianity to Islam is liberal bull----t."
I was totally shocked and it's the first time that I would have given Maher a high five.
The CM site doesn't allow you to post the complete link from you tube, but i'll post the you tube site and the title.
Type in,
Bill Maher Surprise Even Men! Comparing Islamic Violence to Christianity is "Liberal Bull"
Or you can look it up on you tube by just typing in "Bill Maher and Boston Bomber."

It's obvious that you love your instrument. You spent a lot of time checking out the different options to find the one that just "clicked" with your playing style and attitude, and now you're ready to rock. Or are you? See, it takes more than just a great instrument to hit the stage and change the world of popular music forever; you're also going to need some accessories. And regardless of which accessories you need, the odds are that you will be able to find them in this section.
Ask any musician and they will tell you they're only as good as their accessories. That's because great accessories can keep your instrument safe, and also enhance it when you're on the stage, in the studio, or just jamming at home.
So which accessories are right for you? Well, obviously that comes down to need and personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer, and there are literally thousands of options available here. For example, are you looking for a case to store your guitar? Then you may want to check out the Deluxe Electric Guitar Case from Musician's Gear or the Les Paul Hardshell Case from Epiphone. Maybe you'd rather a stand than a case? Then have a look at the GS525B Five-Instrument Guitar Rack from Hercules Stands or the Tubular Guitar Stand from Musician's Gear. Any of these stands and cases would be a worthy addition to any guitar player's collection.
Of course, we also carry cables for microphones, speakers, guitars, basses, and just about anything else that requires one. We have tuners such as the SN-1 Guitar & Bass Tuner from Snark and the DT-10 Digital Pedal Tuner from Korg. You'll even find desks for the recording studio and music stands for the orchestra in this section. Accessories are absolutely integral items for any musician. Take a look around, find the perfect items for you, and watch as your skills truly begin to flourish.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Atlanta Celebrates Photography aims to make Atlanta a leading center for the world's fastest growing art form. By producing the largest annual community-oriented photo festival in the US, we provide experiences that engage and educate diverse audiences through lens-based media. Here's a video for last year's Festival!
In October, ACP marks its 17th annual festival with free events and exhibitions at more than 120 participating venues. For a look back, please see the 2014 Festival Guide to view lectures, innovative public art, and diverse events & exhibitions across the Metro Atlanta area.
Make a tax-deductible donation to support our programs, volunteer to hand-out surveys at a lecture, or lend support in other ways by getting involved with ACP.
Hear and meet leading photographers, educators, and curators during the ACP Lecture Series. Past speakers include Gregory Crewdson, Zoe Strauss, Vincent Laforet, Tierney Gearon, Alec Soth, Larry Sultan, Bruce Davidson, Lorna Simpson, Lauren Greenfield, Deborah Willis, and more.
Featuring temporary projects in various locations throughout the City of Atlanta, ACP's Public Art Project reaches beyond the audience of traditional art venues to expand the way audiences consider lens-based art.
This push-pin show celebrates the democratic nature of photography. Open to everyone, participants include amateur and professional photographers of all ages. Prizes are awarded in a variety of categories, including Viewer's Choice.
ACP's Annual Gala Fundraiser is a world-class photography auction, featuring Denise Bethel, former Head of Photographs at Sotheby's NY as auctioneer. With a silent-auction, live bidding, and a full dinner, the ACP Photography Auction is a night to remember. Advance purchase of tickets required. Seating is limited.
The ACP Film Series explores the symbiotic connection between photography and film. While working with guest curators, we have featured early experimental films, current documentaries and everything in between.
Following the success of the inaugural Photobook Fair in 2009, ACP continues to provide an opportunity for photographers who have published books (on their own, or with publishers) to show, discuss, and sell their books to the public.
The ACP Portfolio Review and Walk offers artists the opportunity to meet with highly respected curators, dealers, editors, and agency representatives from across the US and beyond. The Portfolio Walk gives participating photographers the opportunity to present their work to the general public at an evening reception, open to all.
Through partnerships with cultural, neighborhood, and community-based organizations, ACP brings unique opportunities for both artists and audiences across Atlanta.

Basic Information
Name: Konan
Nickname: Angel, God's angel, Lady angel
Gender: Female
Age: 29-35
Clan: N/A
Konan had blue hair, amber eyes, ultramarine eye shadow, and a labret piercing. Konan's eyelashes are shown to be a diagonal line at the bottom corner of her eyes, but in the anime, they are shown to be distinctive lines. She has worn a large light blue paper flower in her hair since she was a child. Her facial expression was usually neutral, though usually protested or looked worried when Nagato performed a technique that would debilitate him. She wore the Akatsuki cloak and her Akatsuki ring on her right middle finger, the kanji on it meaning White (白, haku). She also wore orange nail polish. Under her Akatsuki cloak, she donned a scanty robe, with a large hemline on the front, which exposed her arms, her back, the lateral part of her breast and her belly, with her navel being surrounded by four more piercings; instead of the standard sandals and leg-warmers, she wore a pair of tight blue pants that also functioned as her shoes, with white high heels, inverting the organisation's standard colour scheme.
Konan was stoic, calm, and level-headed (much like her partner, Nagato, was). As a child, she was bright, compassionate, and relatively cheerful, in comparison to Yahiko's tough attitude and Nagato's sensitivity. However, the traumatic events since then have led her to become a very serious person, and she never spoke during Akatsuki meetings. Nevertheless, she has always placed the safety of her team-mates above her own. Konan also showed romantic feelings towards Yahiko, caring for him and wanting to be as close to him as possible.
She did seem to be more empathic than most other Akatsuki members, as she appeared sad whenever she was reminded of her past. She also expressed a great deal of loyalty and courtesy to Pain, doing his bidding without question, looking out for his well-being and always having complete faith in his abilities. She seemed to act as an intermediary between Pain and Ame, the villagers having given her the title "God's Angel", because with her paper wings activated, she resembles one.
She had the ability to read Pain's emotions without him facially expressing them, presumably as a result of having known him for so long. As soon as Tobi ordered Pain to capture the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, she could tell right away that there was something about the order that very much upset her emotionally deadened partner.
After Nagato's sacrifice, Konan becomes fiercely adamant to protect Naruto Uzumaki, the person Nagato entrusted his mission of world peace to, even going as far as to proclaim all of Ame's loyalty to him. She was equally fierce in defending Nagato's remains from Tobi going as far as to prepare herself for suicidal attacks against him if it meant protecting Nagato and Naruto from him.

What's up with the rounded cables? :S
Phoronix: Nouveau Is Power Hungry On Desktops Too
This morning we talked about the real need for Nouveau power management as with a notebook bearing a NVIDIA GPU this open-source NVIDIA driver can easily consume 10~30% more power than using NVIDIA's official binary driver. While power management is more important on the mobile side, a quick test was carried out on a desktop too...
What's up with the rounded cables? :S
Tables? You meant Cables, right? *just in case we might misunderstand each-other*
The problem with rounded cables is that they tend to easily break, causing transfer speed to be incorrect. I heared about interference too, but I can't site/find any credible source for this.
But I don't understand why someone who tests a lot of hardware would use rounded cables, unless it's your production system.
However I have realy bad experience with rounded cables in terms of quality;
1) They break
3) They do not bend that well (got better airflow results with flat ones, if done right)
I don't know... It's never advised to use these things by anyone I have spoken and I have realy bad experiences with the physical quality of these things.

"This stapler has a unique look, however it is not the best I have ever had. It is not sturdy at all. It moves all over the place as I am trying to staple a piece of paper."
Tiana Davis on 1/20/2015 7:02:27 PM
"Courtney, thank you for alerting us to this issue. We apologize that you are unhappy with your stapler and we will be contacting you directly to resolve."
Customer Service on 12/5/2013 5:24:57 AM
"Seejanework advertises this stapler as one that takes any universal staples. Somebody should read the engraving on the stapler. It requires a very specific, not easily found, expensive to order & ship set of staples. Plus, this is a cheaply-made (China) product. Customer service still hasn't returned my call and it's going on two weeks."
Courtney on 12/4/2013 7:13:29 PM
"LOVE this stapler, so classy, so luxurious, so shiny. Works great and looks great. Wish I could have bought some staples for it on the site tho as it took me a bit to figure out which ones go with it, but totally a minor issue."

Excerpted from Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. . Excerpted by permission of Modern Library, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
1. Why do you think Thomas Hardy chose the subtitle "A Pure Woman"? How does Hardy define "pure," and in what sense does Tess personify purity? Does Hardy idealize Tess? Is she a victim or does she participate in her own undoing?
2. Discuss the roles of Alec d'Urberville and Angel Clare in Tess's life. Consider the ways in which Hardy describes them and how his choices influence the reader's impressions of them.
3. What is the significance of the seven phases into which the book is divided? Tess of the d'Urbervilles was serialized in a newspaper before it was published. Do you think the divisions relate to the serialized breaks? What else might the junctures represent and what episodes do they separate? What is the meaning of Hardy's use of the number seven?
4. In the course of the novel, Tess Durbeyfield becomes a d'Urberville. In what ways does Tess's transformation from "field" to "ville"-and her move from a country farm to a mansion in a larger town-mimic the change in English agrarian life in the wake of the Industrial Revolution?
5. In Hardy's hands, Tess and the landscape seem to have a reciprocal relationship. How does the landscape represent and reflect Tess's outlook and her situation? How do Hardy's descriptions of Tess mirror what is happening to the countryside from which she hails?
6. Before devoting himself to writing full-time, Hardy apprenticed with an architect and intended to become one himself. How do the principles of architecture inform the structural elements of the novel?
7. Thomas Hardy seems to work both within and without the traditions of the literature of his day. What are some of the hallmarks of the writing of the time? In what ways does he break with the styles and themes of many of his contemporaries?
8. Hardy once said that he refused to "[end] a story happily merely to suit conventional ideas." Indeed, his novel took an unconventional moral stance and shocked readers upon its publication. In what ways might Tess of the d'Urbervilles have been controversial? What were some of the mores that governed and epitomized the Victorian age?

The nylon 6 woven mesh sheet has an opaque white color. Nylon 6 offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance and has a low-friction surface. The material has good chemical resistance and allows very little gas to pass through it, also known as gas permeability, but may absorb moisture.
Plastic refers to a group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that have been engineered to achieve specific properties. The most notable characteristics of plastics are its low weight, machinability, corrosion resistance, and typically good thermal and electrical insulating properties. Certain plastic grades also offer optical transparency similar to glass, low-friction or self-lubricating surfaces, and exceptional impact resistance. Depending on their properties, certain plastic grades can be used as alternatives to metal, glass, and ceramic. Unlike metal, plastic may experience creep, which is deformation caused by longtime exposure to a constant load.
Tensile strength, used to indicate the material's overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Impact resistance is the measure of a material's ability to absorb a shock of energy before breaking.

Esophageal cancer is a malignant growth of tissues that line the inner surface of the esophagus.
The esophagus is the tube that connects your throat with your stomach. It spans the length of your chest, between your lungs, behind your heart, and in close proximity to your back bone. The esophagus is a complex, four-layered muscular organ. It sends food into your stomach with a series of rhythmic contractions called peristalsis.
There are two main types of esophageal cancer:
Squamous cell carcinoma—This type of cancer begins in the squamous cells, the top layer of the lining of the esophagus. Squamous cell carcinoma can occur anywhere in the esophagus. The incidence has been decreasing, accounting for less than half of all esophageal cancers in the United States.
Adenocarcinoma—This type of cancer arises from Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus occurs when the squamous cells in the lower esophagus are exposed to acid from the stomach due to acid reflux. The acid causes the cells to change from squamous cells, which are flat, to cells shaped like columns. These column-shaped cells are the hallmark of Barrett's esophagus and can eventually become an adenocarcinoma.
The incidence of adenocarcinoma, particularly in the United States, has been rising for many years.
Who Is Affected
Esophageal cancer is 3-4 times more common in men than in women. It is also more common in countries outside the United States.
Squamous cell carcinoma—More common in African-Americans, in people aged 60 years and older, and outside the US.
Adenocarcinoma—More common in Caucasians, people aged 50 years and older, and in the United States.
Causes and Complications
There are many risk factors for esophageal cancer that appear to be causative. Many are ingested agents that do damage directly to the esophagus, like excess alcohol, nitrates, toxins in pickled vegetables, and very hot beverages. Other irritants that increase the risk of esophageal cancer are radiation, tobacco, smoked opiates, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Human papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted infection. Infection with certain types of HPV is associated with esophageal cancer.
Ionizing radiation, as experienced by survivors of the atomic bomb, has been associated with a higher rate of esophageal cancer. Obesity is also associated with a higher risk. Additionally, the condition may run in families. Plummer-Vinson syndrome (a rare disorder characterized by anemia due to a low iron level and low levels of certain nutrients) has been associated with a higher risk for esophageal cancer in women residing in Sweden. Celiac disease, a disorder characterized by malabsorption, has also been linked to this form of cancer.
Esophageal cancer restricts and ultimately prevents swallowing, leading to weight loss, malnutrition, and starvation. Food and liquids not swallowed can be diverted into the lungs, causing choking, aspiration, and pneumonia. Inability to swallow liquids can lead to death by dehydration. Occasionally, the cancer erodes into the breathing tubes creating a tracheo-esophageal fistula, through which food passes directly into the lungs.
Metastases from esophageal cancer can lodge anywhere in the body, most frequently ending up in the liver, lungs, brain, and bones. About 80% of patients with this disease die within five years of diagnosis.

Santana, Royals aim to end slide in finale with Nats
Haren looks to help red-hot Washington win six straight, sweep set
The Nationals team that everyone expected to see this season has finally started to surface, and right now that only means trouble for the Royals and their ever-dwindling playoff chances.
Kansas City was as close as 4 1/2 games back of the first-place Tigers in the American League Central at the end of June, and held steady through much of July. But they've lost seven in a row after a 7-2 Nationals win on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium, and 10 of 12. They sit 11 1/2 back of Detroit and have four straight series losses.
The Nats, meanwhile, are trending in the opposite direction, having won 11 of 15. But is it too little, too late for a team that was billed as a World Series favorite after taking baseball by surprise last year?
It seems like a foregone conclusion that the Braves will run away with the National League East, but the Nats have an outside shot at the Wild Card, pegged at 1.9 percent by MLB.com and Baseball Prospectus.
But the offense is what has made the difference over this stretch, which has included series wins against the Phillies, Giants, Cubs and now the Royals. While entering Saturday night with the 24th-most runs scored (498) in baseball this season, the Nats have averaged 5.73 per game over the last 15.
They have a winning record for the first time since July 14, the last day before the All-Star break.
Right-hander Ervin Santana will be tasked with slowing the Washington bats in Sunday's series finale, when he opposes righty Dan Haren. Santana threw a quality start on Tuesday against Chicago, but took the 2-0 loss. He scattered four hits, two runs and two walks over six innings. One of the runs scored on a passed ball that disappeared into the signage behind home plate. Santana looked for the ball to bounce back toward home plate, but he caught a bad break instead.
"That's what I was waiting for, but l-u-c-k-y me," Santana said sarcastically.
Royals: Maxwell coming up big
Outfielder Justin Maxwell has hit safely in 13 of his 16 games with the Royals since joining them on July 31 -- batting 17-for-48 in that span.
• Alex Gordon had a six-game hit streak snapped on Saturday, but is still 9-for-30 with four RBIs and six runs over his last seven games.
• Santana is 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA since the All-Star break. He has three no-decisions against the Nationals with a 3.10 ERA and 20 strikeouts over 20 1/3 innings. He's held the Nationals to a .183 average.
Nationals: Haren continues strong second half
Haren has four wins in his last five starts, and is 3-0 with a 1.04 ERA in August. Since he gave up five runs in five innings on July 22, his ERA has dipped from 5.79 to 4.64. Haren has allowed more than one run in only one start since that game, and it was when he surrendered two in seven innings against the Phillies on Aug. 9. He beat the Cubs in his last outing.
"As the game progressed, my stuff got better and better," Haren said. "My cutter was real good; I worked it in on lefties a lot. I didn't throw quite as many splits tonight, and my fastball got better as the game went along."
Haren is 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA in six starts at Kauffman Stadium. In 10 career starts against the Royals, he's 5-2.
• Washington has won a season-best five consecutive games on the road and its five-game winning streak matches a season high.
Worth noting
• Kansas City has scored three runs or fewer in 10 of its last 12 games, including two shutouts.
• The Nationals, now at 11-8, have secured a winning record in Interleague play for the third consecutive season (10-8 in 2012 and 8-7 in '11).
