Ghana midfielder Annan returns to action for Schalke after one-year absence
Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan returned to action on Monday after a one-year injury-induced absence boosting his chances of playing for the Black Stars at the 2014 World Cup, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The 27-year-old, who plays for German side Schalke, was in action in their 2-1 friendly win over Qatari side Al Gharafa in Doha on Monday night.
It was Annan's first match since suffering an ankle injury that ruined his participation in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Annan came on as a substitute in the 64th minute as he took over from Neustädter in the victory over the Qatari side.
He was impressive in his 26 minutes on the pitch and showed signs of his brilliance and crucially also demonstrated that he has put all his injury problems behind him.
The Ghana international was declared surplus to requirements by Schalke last year after returning from loan at Osasuna.
But he was recalled to join the club for the winter pre-season in Qatar after he reported to the club that he has recovered from injury.
He has now fully recovered from the ankle problem and could now play a part in matches for Schalke before his contract expires in June.
Annan has been linked with a move to Turkey with Fenerbahce and Besiktas reported to be interested in signing him.
His return is also a boost for Ghana as he could fight for a place in the 2014 World Cup squad.
Annan joined Die Konigsblauen for €2m from Norwegian side Rosenborg in January 2011 but never had the opportunities to make an impact.
The 27-year-old was first loaned to Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem where he played them clinch a Europa League spot.
Annan is reported to have rejected two offers to leave Schalke 04 during last summer's transfer window.
He last played a competitive match in February last year for Osasuna before being sidelined by an ankle injury he aggravated.
Do you think Annan should be considered by coach Kwesi Appiah for selection to the Ghana squad for the World Cup? Make your views known in the box below

Even if you're sticking close to home during spring break this year, you can still explore some exotic locales. Here are a few things happening in the Twin Cities that might transport you to far-away places.
Monday, March 30: Thailand and Malaysia
Minnesota bugs are relatively innocuous. Our climate insures that they never really get too "meaty," and not many of them can kill you. But poisonous bugs tend to be pretty, so we generally end up with small, dreary critters in our neck of the woods. This is definitely not the case at the Creepy Crawly Exhibit at the Textile Center. This installation features big and colorful bugs, mostly from Thailand and Malaysia, pinned to the walls to evoke textile patterns and wallpaper. The show is free and open until May 16 from 10 am-7 pm M-Th, and 10 am-5 pm on Friday and Saturday. Don't worry, the website states that the artist, Jennifer Angus, is an insect advocate so I'm confidant no crawlies were harmed in the making of this art.
Tuesday, March 31: Sweden
IKEA started as a small furniture company in southern Sweden. Now they promise a "fun children's activity" every Tuesday at 1:30 pm, and kids 12 and under can get a free meal all day long with no purchase necessary! Now, I have no idea what this fun children's activity might be, so it's a bit of a gamble. Maybe this counts a detour to Vegas? At worst, we'll get a free plate of Swedish meatballs and the fun activity is trying to find our way out of the store without following the marked path. The best case scenario is that I refurnish my home office for $17.98. I'll take that bet. At 7 pm tonight, author Jane Yolen will present and sign books at the Red Balloon Bookshop. Her book, Owl Moon, is one of my favorites.
Wednesday, April 1: Seattle
James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway stretched all the way from St. Paul to Seattle. This railroad was so important economically that Hill was nicknamed "The Empire Builder," but his mighty engines of prosperity had trouble turning around on their own. That's where roundhouses came in. A roundhouse had a rotating platform that could turn an engine around or direct it toward a maintenance bay. The Jackson Street Roundhouse no longer serves this purpose, but it does host a Tots & Trains event today from 10am to noon. It's a little pricey at $10 for adults, $8 for kids 5-15 and $5 for 2-4 year-olds, but in addition to the displays they offer a play area, craft, story, snack and coffee. You might want to check out the video on their site before going to provide some context for what you'll see.
Thursday, April 2: France
You've probably heard of impressionistic painting - Monet, Renoir, and Degas painted in this style - but there was also an impressionism movement in music born about the same time, and all of it came out of France. The idea is the same in both disciplines: the artist suggests the theme of the work rather than clearly establishing a formal image for the audience. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are considered the pioneers of impressionistic music and some of their work, along with a composition by Francis Poulenc, will fill Courtroom 317 during a free concert at Landmark Center today from noon to 1pm. I wonder if anybody ever does impressions of impressionistic artists? Maybe that'll be the next event series at Landmark Center. Maybe not.
Friday, April 3: The Edge of the Universe!
This day of space exploration lasts well into the evening. Would you expect anything less for such a lofty journey? Start at 3 pm in the ExploraDome at the Bell Museum of Natural History. This trip titled, Zoom! From Earth to the Edge of the Universe does just that. Fortunately, it also brings you back. The ticket costs $6 per adult and $4 per child over 3 years of age. Then it's off to the Science Museum of Minnesota where you can catch Journey to Space in the Omni Theater on the hour from 3-9pm ($8 adults, $7 kids). If you're so inclined you can also check out the special exhibit, Space: An Out-of-Gravity Experience. If you go that route look into a family membership to make it more cost effective. Finally, head to the Tate Laboratory of Physics and Astronomy on the U of M campus. There will be a short presentation on eclipses at 8pm in room 131 followed by the chance to skygaze with their telescopes.

Is there anything that feels cooler than really getting your spin on at the rollerskating rink? You feel like you're flying, swooping in and out of air traffic, the air gently rustling your finely feathered hair . . . Sorry, I think I flashed back to the mid 80's there for a second. Believe it or not, there is something even cooler than this, though. Getting your spin on at the rollerskating rink . . . while wearing a cape! That's right, it's Super Hero Day at the Roller Garden from Noon to 4 pm! Admission is $6 each - bring your own blades if you can to save yourself another $3 for skate rental. It's also Winter Fun Day at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge with both indoor and outdoor activities planned all day until 4 pm. Muppets Most Wanted is the free Toddler Flick at MOA at 11:30 am, and the Minnesota History Center is free from 5-8 pm tonight.
Wednesday, December 31
I really only remember a handful of New Year's Eves that I've experienced. I clearly remember the year we partied like it was 1999 because, well, it was. We hosted a party and, unbeknownst to us, one of our friends sneaked to the basement. At midnight he threw the master switch on our fuse box to simulate a Y2K power disaster. Haha. Other memorable NYE's have involved a walk around Wood Lake Nature Center they call Candlelight and Ice. Now, this is what we've done the last couple of years, so maybe it has more to do with proximity than anything else. But I'm thinking it might be the glow of the luminaries lighting the way, the bonfire on frozen Wood Lake, the marshmallow roasting and the hot cocoa around the roaring fire in the visitor's center that stick in my mind. Candlelight and Ice runs from 6-9 pm and costs $4 if you're not a member.
Thursday, January 1
I've mentioned before that Riverview Theater is the best theater in town. It opened in 1948 and retains the vintage look of a 1956 remodel, it has the best popcorn out there, and movies are normally only $3! Today the Riverview is hosting The Sing-a-Long Sound of Music at 3 pm. Think of a cross between karaoke and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tickets are $12 for adults, $7.50 for kids under 12, and should be purchased in advance. You'll get a bag of props to use while singing, and if you come in costume you might win a prize. Happy New Year!
Friday, January 2
Speaking of The Sound of Music, pizza and cookies are a few of our favorite things. We've become big fans of wood-fired pizza, and today we're going to enjoy wood-fired cookies as well at A Victorian Christmas at the Ramsey House. Today through Sunday, when you call on the Alexander Ramsey house, you'll step back in time 140 years to experience a Victorian-era holiday reception. Reserve your spot for the one-hour tour by calling 651-296-8760. Admission is $11 for adults, $7 for kids 6 and up. Minnesota Historical Society members get $3 off each ticket.
Saturday, January 3
The holidays are once again in the rear-view mirror, but they might be hanging around my waist for a while longer. I'm afraid I may have given new meaning to the term "belly dancing" this year - my belly is now just sort of dancing on its own. If you'd like to give real belly dancing a try, check out Zenon Dance School's Winter Open House today. The free open house runs 10 am - 4 pm, with classes for kids ending at noon. An adventurous soul might also want to give "Inversion Dance" a shot at 2 pm. I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds like a guaranteed muscle pull to me. I'll just keep working to perfect my belly dancing.
Monday, December 22
Apparently gingerbread has been around a long time, like since years had only three digits, and gingerbread men date back to the 1500's and Queen Elizabeth I. The gingerbread house is a relatively new phenomenon then, becoming popular with the publication of Grimm's Fairly Tales in 1812. One of these fairly tales, as you probably know, is Hansel and Gretel, a tale in which the title characters stumble upon a gingerbread house in the woods. The French version of this story, The Lost Children, involves a sawhorse in the escape scene. Eww. I think I'll stick to gingerbread houses. Children ages 4-10 can make their own gingerbread house at the Roseville Library from 1-3 pm today for free, while supplies last. Maybe wait to make your own sawhorse until you get home.
Friday, December 26
I'm guessing returning gifts is not really what you want to do today. Why not wait a day or two to send back your new Cozy Pod and instead head to the "Birthplace of Minnesota?" Stillwater is a destination unto itself, a picturesque little town nestled into the St. Croix River Valley and currently all lit up like a Christmas tree, but it never hurts to have an actual destination. With that in mind, consider checking out the Earthly Daydreams Photography Exhibit at the Lakeview Hospital Art Gallery. This show offers "hand toned Gelatin Silver Prints," which sound delicious. On your way down the hill, stop off at ArtReach St. Croix to view Horses and Bees and Bears, a multimedia showcase of four St. Croix Valley artists. Both exhibits are free. Once you've had your fill of fine art, continue on to Main Street and stop at the Freight House, an old train depot turned restaurant and bar. The friendly staff and historic setting will wrap a very pretty bow on your Stillwater visit.

What's the allure of trivia? I mean, by definition, trivia are pieces of information with little value. So why are we so excited when we know the only large mammal with ultraviolet vision? Whatever the reason we do love trivia, and you can be a family trivia ninja at the Shoreview Library for free today from 2:30 to 4:30 pm. Register a team of up to six people at 651-486-2309. The event page promises that "snacks and fun will also be provided," so we've got that going for us. If you'd rather hang outdoors, there is a drop-in animal track program from 1-4 pm today at Eastman Nature Center and a snowflake program at Maplewood Nature Center from 1-3 pm. The large mammal with ultraviolet vision is the reindeer, by the way. Reindeer are also known as caribou, just in case you ever come across that bit of trivia.
I've often likened teaching to canoeing. We drop our canoes into a lazy river come summertime and spend weeks rowing gently down the stream. When the calendar turns to August we notice a subtle change in the current. The water moves more swiftly, our paddling becomes more purposeful. Then Workshop Week arrives. The excitement of this time makes our pulse quicken, and we grip the oars a little tighter because we know the white-water rapids of the school year are dead ahead.
And then comes the first day of school. There's no stopping now! We row furiously to stay the course. Water sprays over the bow and the vessel lists dangerously to one side and then the other, but we paddle on because, if we don't, we'll lose our bearings and the river will swallow us. And then, before we notice it really, the tumult subsides and we get a few moments to catch our breath before encountering the next set of rapids.
These quiet moments, in my metaphor, are MEA Weekend. It's the first opportunity during the school year for students and teachers alike to take a step back and recharge, be that at the professional conference held in St. Paul, or at a cabin on the St. Croix. In case you're sticking around the Twin Cities this weekend, here some free or low-cost things you can do as a family before embarking on the next leg of your journey.
Available Every Day Over MEA Weekend

Big Stone Mini Golf looks like it has it all. You want putt-putt? Check. Feel like a sculpture garden? They've got that too. You'd like to pet some farm animals? As you wish. Feel like roasting marshmallows or playing Checkers? Go for it! Apparently, it's even a hot spot for professional graduation and engagement photos. OK, there's no evidence of a bouncy house on site, so I guess they don't have it all, but it sounds pretty unique. I found the website difficult to navigate but, near as I can tell, Big Stone is open daily from 11 am until sundown, and costs $7 for each child and $8 for adults. The reviews I've read make it sound like it's worth the money and the drive to Minnetrista. As Sheryll from Boca Raton, FL wrote on YELP, it's "The most funnest place in the world!"

In 1925 Henry Ford built a plant in St. Paul on the banks of the Mississippi. A drop in the river at this spot allowed for the construction of a hydroelectric plant to supply the requisite power for assembling his Model T's. Construction on Lock & Dam #1 had also been completed on the Minneapolis side of these falls just eight years earlier. A self-guided tour of this Lock & Dam affords views of the Ford Dam, Ford Bridge and the power plant. If you're lucky, a ship will come through one of the locks while you're on the observation deck. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see the plant as it once was. The last Ranger pickup truck rolled off the line three years ago, and the Ford plant is currently under demolition.

Normally an invitation to enjoy stories, songs and something called "fingerplays" wouldn't hold my attention for very long, but I think these fingerplays are going to be about llamas. I find llamas kind of fascinating, and not just because they are one of the few things that rhyme with pajamas (along with Obamas, commas, and mamas), but I still don't really want to sing about them. Here's the hook: As a part of all this llama drama (there's another one!) the Excelsior Library is going to have LIVE LLAMAS at Manor Park in Shorewood at 10:30 today! I don't know if we'll be able to pet one, but there's sure to be some photo ops. It might even inspire a llama diorama (Boom goes the dynamite!). Afterward, indulge in an ice cream cone on the lakeshore in Excelsior or take a ride on the Excelsior Streetcar Line.

The Walker Museum hosts the 3rd Annual Internet Cat Video Festival tonight for free. YouTube videos of cats are irresistible as it is, but watching them as a communal experience borders on transcendental. Maybe that's overstating it a bit, but I bet it's like watching fireworks except that instead of oohs and aahs you hear lots of aawws! The videos roll at dusk, but the event runs from 6-10 pm with live music, face painting and an animated photo booth available before the cats take center stage. Much in the same way that everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, everyone's a cat person on this night.

Airbag Inflation-Induced Injury Biomechanics
- John W. Melvin,
- Harold J. Mertz
- … show all 2 hide
The basic principles of airbag restraint have been discussed in Chapter 8. The primary advantages of an airbag system over a standard belt restraint system are the potential to distribute the restraining force over a large portion of the body area, including the head, and the potential to provide additional controlled stopping distance within the occupant compartment. Distribution of restraining force eliminates areas of high force concentration and minimizes localized body deformations and reduces relative motions between adjacent body parts. If used effectively, the additional stopping distance will result in the reduction of the forces needed to decelerate the body. Accordingly, the airbag has the potential to enhance the performance of a belt restraint system, particularly when belt force-limiting features are included. When the airbag is used as the only restraint and it cannot rely on the belt system for restraint early in the crash sequence, a more demanding burden is placed on the performance of the airbag system. To provide good restraint, the airbag must be deployed into the space between the occupant and the car interior in a timely manner, prior to the occupant moving too far into that space. In addition the airbag must have sufficient depth and internal pressure to prevent the occupant from fully compressing the bag in severe collisions. The use of a belt restraint in conjunction with an airbag can make both the timing and capacity requirements less critical, but many design dilemmas remain in matching the performance of an airbag restraint system to a particular vehicle design. This chapter addresses some of these dilemmas and the Biomechanics of the special injury consequences that result from the airbag under certain circumstances. These special injury outcomes are known as inflation-induced injuries (IIIs; also abbreviated as I3). Discussions of belt restraint-related injuries can be found in the chapters in this book dealing with thoracic and abdominal trauma.

"Santiago" Santiago de los Caballeros by ValbyDK
Santiago de los Caballeros Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 69 photos
Santiago de los Caballeros (or simply Santiago) was founded in 1495 during the first wave of European colonization of the New World. The original colony was in the city of Jacagua, but after an earthquake in 1506, it was moved to its present location.
Santiago was an important strategic city in the Dominican War of Independence in 1844, and has sometimes been the capital of the country. Today Santiago is the second largest city in the Dominican Republic with an approximate population in the range of 1000000 inhabitants.
Santiago is a major traffic point in the Dominican Republic, and therefore I have been to Santiago numerous times. When you are travelling from Santo Domingo (south) to the north-western part of the Dominican Republic you must pass through Santiago – and if you are travelling with bus - Santiago often means you also have to change to another bus.
I have stayed overnight in Santiago a couple of times, and find the City to have an OK night life, great shopping opportunities, several cultural activities… and of course the Aguilas…
In 2006, I watched my first baseball game ever: Águilas vs. Licey, and from that day I was sold. In Denmark I have watched the soccer derby in Copenhagen between Brøndby IF and FC Copenhagen many times, but the atmosphere in a Danish football stadium is nothing compared with the atmosphere in a Dominican baseball ground: Drums, singing, dancing, Brugal, cervezas, merengue…
In 2008 I saw Águilas vs. Licey twice, so I will now call myself a Danish 'Aguilucho'… by the way, I have never seen Águilas loose a game…

I have a question. I set up a voltmeter and and ammeter (properly connected in parallel and in series respectively) so that when I input power into a motor in the form of DC current, both the voltmeter and the ammeter read positive values. Then, I removed the voltage source (i.e. battery). Now what I don't understand is, if I manually rotate the motor in one direction, the motor (acting as a generator), I get a positive voltage reading and a negative current reading. If I rotate the motor (generator) in the other direction, I get a negative voltage reading and a positive current reading. I don't understand, how can current flow against the voltage established by the generator? Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me? Thanks.
Well think about the difference between a load that consumes power (a resistor or a motor for example) versus one that supplies power (a battery or generator for example). For the resistor the voltage drop is positive at the terminal that the current enters whereas with a (dischaging) battery the current leaves from the positive terminal. The motor behaves in the same way as the resistor in this regard (because it's absorbing power) whereas the generator behaves in much the same way as a battery. It's all about the direction of power flow.
Most of the DC motors take AC as an input and then uses the DC by rectifying it. And the negative sign you're taking about is because many of the DC motors have transformer type construction inside it. And it causes 180 degree phase difference between the current and voltage that's why current shows opposite sign.

Joss Whedon's beloved space-Western will air on Science Channel, beginning on Sunday, March 6 at 8 p.m. Subsequent episodes will air on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. (preceded by the previous week's episode at 9 p.m.).
In addition, Science Channel favorite Dr. Michio Kaku will comment on the science of each episode, delving into the science fact behind in-show elements like terraforming and anti-matter.
"Firefly" starred Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite and Ron Glass. After its short run on FOX, it also led to a Whedon-directed feature film, "Serenity."

I was hoping that if I were to define constants in a separate namespace, like:
namespace config\database\mysql;
const HOST = 'localhost';
const USER = 'testusr';
const PASSWORD = 'testpwd';
const NAME = 'testdb';
That I would be able to use __autoload
to automatically include them:
function __autoload($className)
echo "Autoload: {$className}\n";
$class_file = str_replace('\\', '/', $className) . ".php";
if(file_exists($class_file)) {
include $class_file;
echo config\database\mysql\HOST;
This, however, does not work. The __autoload
is not called for the constant as it is with classes, leaving me with a Undefined constant
Some way that I can simulate the class __autoload
for constants?

This book captures the drama of 27 perilous months at Los Alamos, a secret city cut off from the rest of society, ringed by barbed wire, where Oppenheimer and his young recruits lived as virtual prisoners of the U.S. government--freshly minted secretaries and worldly scientists contending with living conditions straight out of pioneer days, racing to build the first atomic bomb before Germany could. Oppenheimer was as arrogant as he was inexperienced, and few believed the 38-year-old theoretical physicist would succeed. Yet despite the obstacles, he forged a vibrant community through the sheer force of his personality

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Multimetallic Nanoparticles for Chemical/Biological Sensing Applications)
We demonstrate the possibility of using a radio-frequency transverse susceptibility (TS) technique based on a sensitive self-resonant tunnel-diode oscillator as a biosensor for detection of cancer cells that have taken up magnetic nanoparticles. This technique can detect changes in frequency on the order of 10 Hz in 10 MHz. Therefore, a small sample of cells that have taken up nanoparticles when placed inside the sample space of the TS probe can yield a signal characteristic of the magnetic nanoparticles. As a proof of the concept, Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with Au (mean size ~60 nm) were synthesized using a micellar method and these nanoparticles were introduced to the medium at different concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg/mL buffer, where they were taken up by human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells via phagocytosis. While the highest concentration of Au-Fe3O4 nanoparticles (1 mg/mL) was found to give the strongest TS signal, it is notable that the TS signal of the nanoparticles could still be detected at concentrations as low as 0.1 mg/mL.Keywords:

Oracle® Procedural Gateway for APPC User's Guide Release 184.108.40.206.0 for UNIX Part Number A96649-01 |
To execute a remote transaction program using the Oracle Procedural Gateway for APPC, you must execute a PL/SQL program to call the gateway functions, using a remote procedural call (RPC). The gateway functions handle the initiation, data exchange and termination for an APPC conversation with the remote transaction program. The Oracle Procedural Gateway for APPC includes a tool, PGAU, to generate the PL/SQL packages (TIPs) automatically, based on definitions you provide in the form of COBOL record layouts and PGDL (Procedural Gateway Definition Language).
This appendix contains the following section:
The gateway functions are all executed through remote procedural calls (RPC). The functions are called from PL/SQL code as follows:
is the name of the function being called.
is the name of a predefined database link to the gateway server on the UNIX system.
parm1, parm2, parmn
are the function-specific parameters described later in this appendix.
Calling a function in PL/SQL code with the @dblink
notation following the function name is a remote procedural call.
PGAINIT and PGAINIT_SEC are remote procedural calls that initiate an APPC conversation with a specified transaction program. The difference between the two is that PGAINIT_SEC also includes the added capability of being able to set the APPC conversation security user ID and password to values other than the current Oracle user ID and password. Upon successful completion of either function, the conversation is ready to send data to the remote transaction program.
The following table presents the parameters that are passed to both PGAINIT and PGAINIT_SEC. It lists the type, datatype and description of each parameter:
The following table lists the types, datatypes and descriptions of additional parameters which are passed only to PGAINIT_SEC:
There is an interrelationship between PROFNAME and LUNAME/TPNAME/MODENAME. If PROFNAME is set to blanks or a null value, the LUNAME, TPNAME, and MODENAME parameters are all required to be non-blank values. If they are not all set to non-blank values, an exception is generated. However, if PROFNAME is set to a valid Side Information Profile name, the LUNAME, TPNAME, and MODENAME parameters can be null or blank, because the Side Information profile specifies all the information necessary to establish the conversation. In this case, any non-blank, non-null values specified for LUNAME, TPNAME, or MODENAME override values set in the Side Information profile.
PGAXFER is called to transfer data to and from a remote transaction program on an APPC conversation initialized by PGAINIT. The function sends and/or receives data items based on the calling parameters. The following table list the types, datatypes and descriptions of parameters that are passed to PGAXFER:
When PGAXFER is called, either or both of SENDBUFL and RECVBUFL must be nonzero; in other words, at least one data item must be sent to or received from the remote transaction program. If PGAXFER is called with no data items to send or receive, it generates an exception.
PGATERM is called to terminate an APPC conversation that was initiated by a previous call to PGAINIT. Upon successful completion of this function, the conversation is deallocated and all storage associated with it is freed. The following table presents the types, datatypes and descriptions of PGATERM parameters:
PGATCTL is called to manipulate the PGA trace control flags. These are the same flags set at gateway initialization time by the SET TRACE_LEVEL PGA parameter. Using PGATCTL, the trace level can be changed dynamically from within a PL/SQL stored procedure. This facility is useful when debugging a new PL/SQL application.
The following table presents the types, datatypes and descriptions of parameters in PGATCTL:
This function is called to write a line of user data into the PGA trace file. Using PGATRAC, the flow within a PL/SQL procedure can be traced, along with the events traced based on the SET TRACE_LEVEL settings. This is a useful debugging tool when developing a new PL/SQL application.
The following table presents the type, dataype and description of the PGATRAC parameter:
Parameter | Type | Datatype | Description |
Line of user data to be written into the gateway trace file. The contents must be printable characters. |

'End ban on Sikh basketball players with turbans'
A coalition of US lawmakers Tuesday urged the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) to end its discriminatory policy against Sikh basketball players who wear turbans, an important article of their faith.
In a letter to FIBA president Yvan Mainini, 21 Congress members led by Democrat Ami Bera, the lone Indian-American Congressman and Joe Crowley, a former chair of the India caucus, took up cudgels on behalf of the Sikh players.
Expressing concern about "recent reports indicating that Sikhs are not able to participate in FIBA games while wearing a turban, which is essential to their faith", the lawmakers sought a "change in this discriminatory policy".
"There is no evidence showing that a turban has been dangerous during basketball games or other popular sports events," they wrote.
"In fact, there are many examples of Sikhs who have safely competed in basketball at many levels with their articles of faith intact."
Other sports leagues, such as Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), also allow athletes wearing turbans to participate, the lawmakers noted.
In July, two Sikh players were told by referees that they must remove their turbans if they were to play in FIBA's Asia Cup as they were in violation of a FIBA rule stating "Players shall not wear equipment (objects) that may cause injury to other players".
FIBA's governing board is expected to address the issue of players wearing turbans and other headgear during a meeting at the end of August.
"Basketball is a beloved team sport that has the ability to bring people of all backgrounds together, regardless of history, culture, language, and religion," the US lawmakers wrote.
"In addition to becoming one of the most popular sports in many countries, basketball has come to exemplify how those of diverse backgrounds can communicate, coordinate, and work together in pursuit of a shared goal," they wrote.
"We believe that makes the basketball court the perfect venue to showcase the diversity of our world and the ways in which sports bring people together," the lawmakers added.

Remember Me
Fripp has been the only constant in the band's ever-changing lineup since King Crimson formed in 1968. "So, King Crimson is in motion. This is a very different reformation to what has gone before: seven players, four English and three American, with three drummers," the founding guitarist wrote in his online diary. Website DGM Live reports that Fripp will be joined by Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins and Jakko Jakszyk as the new King Crimson. Adrian Belew, who had been a King Crimson constant since 1981, was not mentioned in the report. DGM Live also mentions that Fripp expects it to take a year before the new King Crimson is able to perform.

Dont feel outgunned or under gunned with my SP101, .357, at all. I will admit to carrying an auto (.45) when the situation warrants it though.
The 1911 is an antiquated weapons system but then again, so am I.
Retired SF(SP) CMSgt 1979-2005
I don't feel under gunned with my 442; I read somewhere the FBI says most situations are resolved with less than 5 shots. I carry my SR9c when I go to the city.
I have and shoot both revolvers and pistols in defensive calibers. For a good while I was carrying a S&W 640 (.357) and for most encounters that would require a handgun be employed, it will do the trick fabulously. However, I have noted a trend in perpdom that multiple perps and flash mobs are a thing to be concerned with. Yes, I agree the liklihood of being involved in a situation where more than 5 is not enough is extremely low, but I like to be prepared - an old Boy Scout habit.
Given that I can conceal a G30 or a PT-145 as easily, or possibly a bit easier, than my S&W 640 and that either has more than twice the firepower on board with a full chamber and mag and that reloads are faster, I have moved to the auto-loaders. Carrying a brace of extra mags I have 31 rounds with the PT-145 or 37 rounds with the G-30 (carrying G21 spare mags). I hope never to have to use my weapon and if I do, I certainly hope not to need many rounds, but given that I don't have to use all the rounds I am carrying, but I can't use more than I have, I have found carrying autoloaders to be my preference. That said, I carried my 640 yesterday and did not feel ill at ease.

You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
When I lived in a city with no car, I felt way under gunned with a revolver. I carried my Sig 229 .40 with spare mag, as well as a pair of snubbies. One on my weak side, one on my ankle.
Now that I am near my vehicle at almost all times my Sig is just for fighting to my rifle and shotgun.
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow. End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
Although I do not use to carry a revolver I do not feel undergunned carrying one. However, if I knew I am going to be in a very bad situation my sidearm will be a 1911 or a BHP.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
For me, it's having the confidence that I can put the round where it needs to go that helps me overcome the thoughts of only having five rounds to start off with. That coupled with the fact that, I feel the revolver is purely a self defense gun and not so much of a combat pistol... If I'm going into combat, and I know I'm going into combat, it's my shotgun and a couple of my high capacity "combat" pistols that will be accompanying me for that melee.

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." Thomas Jefferson
Prophecy Update Archives
I feel better with autos. part of it is is that I don't like the way revolvers feel in my hand. The other part is the lack of ammo and the slow reloads. Between adrenaline dump, the BG moving and me moving I figure at least 3 rounds expended per person. This isn't the square range, there won't be any of this 2 rounds and reassess. Then figure in the fact that there's a good chance they're on something and the rising trend towards 2 to 3 BGs in each encounter makes the less you have to reload the better. I'll stick with a G30 with G21 mags for reloads or a G19.
Assuming that because you always hit your target during practice that the same will hold true in a true defensive scenario is, in my opinion, misguided at best and potentially deadly at worse. "Hollywood" states that you can gun down targets on a roof top 100 yards away in the pitch black of night at a full sprint with a snubbie. Reality states that the average self defense shooting takes place between 5-7 yards and there are more misses then there are hits. Do the math.
I am not saying that a snubbie is a bad CCW option. I am only stating that basing that choice off of your givin plan of "I don't plan on missing a lot" is a bad idea.
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
I'm reading lots of "I feel perfectly safe carrying a revolver, but will carry a semi when really expecting trouble" on this thread. That particular logic eludes me.
I feel well armed with a revolver. But I always carry at least 2 guns.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
I think its more along the line of "I feel perfectly safe carrying a revolver but giving the choice I would prefer a semi". My point of view is this. Carry the most firepower that you can for a given situation. Generally speaking I would prefer to carry a Kahr PM9/CM9 to a 5 shot snubbie. For close to the same size and weight of most snubbies your getting 2 extra rounds, generally a better trigger and a overall faster reload. My main gripe against the PM9 was cost but since they released the CM9 at a lower price point I cant really knock on them any more. I admit, I did feel a bit under gunned when I carried my SP101 as my primary. Was I REALLY undergunned? Probably not. But I have learned this - Carrying is less about what your carrying and how your carrying it and more about how you feel about carrying it. I feel better armed with a Glock 26 with a glock 17 mag as backup. Am I better armed? That is debatable. For the majority of situation I would need to deploy my CCW in... probably not. Does it make me FEEL better armed and thus more comfortable in my choice? Yep. So that is what I carry. If you carry a snubbie and your confident in that choice then you have made a good choice.
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...

dc.description.abstract | This thesis is focused on the synthesis and study of transition metal complexes that undergo halogen elimination when irradiated with UV and visible light. This chemistry is relevant for solar energy storage schemes in which simple substrates such as HX (X = Cl, Br, OH) can be split to H2 and X2 in thermodynamically uphill photocycles. The activation of strong M-X bonds is a key requirement for efficient photocatalysts and represents the most challenging step of HX splitting schemes. Studies have focused on the design and characterization of late-metal phosphine complexes with an emphasis on chemical oxidation with halogen to give stable, halide-rich metal centers, and the subsequent photochemistry of the resulting complexes. The primary goal of this work was to increase the photo-efficiency of M-X bond activation as (1) the low quantum yield of halogen elimination had been implicated as the governing step determining the efficiency of previously reported HX splitting catalysts and (2) mechanistic studies on the nature of halogen elimination using laser kinetic techniques require a substantial concentration of transient photointermediates for signal to be observed. These targets spurred the development of a number of late-metal homo- and heterobimetallic complexes which undergo highly efficient halogen elimination, as well as the first reports of authentic X2 reductive elimination from a transition metal center and direct observation of M-X bond activation using transient absorption spectroscopy. | en_US |
