March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War. The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands.

When dealing with a player like Jacoby, we tend to focus more of hands issue than anything which is a natural reaction. I said many times before that I aint an expert and just fan of the Texans. From my eyes, guy that is 6'4" with 4.3 range speed is just insane. I am very intrigued by Hill and Streeter 6'5" with speed. They are both vertical and red zone threat to me.
Go Texans!!!

Game Thread: September 6, Mets at Braves
Today's Fun Mets Fact: If the Mets won every game from now until the end of the 2007 season, they'd almost be .500 as a franchise.
Today's Fun Mets Fact: If the Mets won every game from now until the end of the 2007 season, they'd almost be .500 as a franchise.
Of course, the Braves are only 223 games over .500 over the same time period, even with their run since '91.
September 6th, 2005 at 5:45 pmWell, with a good year next year they'll be .500 as a franchise, which is pretty good considering how bad they were in Boston.
September 6th, 2005 at 5:53 pmFurcal
Jones C
Jones A
Franco gets the start today against the righty. Hope Smoltz's neck is loose today.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:01 pmI like this line-up more than recent ones, although I'd like to see McCann 7th and Langerhans (defensive reasons) 8th.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:26 pm26-pitch first for Smoltz, though no runs. How'd Matsui manage not to strike out? And why is Matsui hitting second, when the top of their lineup could go Reyes-Beltran-Wright-Floyd?
September 6th, 2005 at 6:48 pmBP today, free article:
That leads to the true offensive sinkhole, the number-two spot. After Mike Cameron (and his .367 SOB) was knocked out in the gruesome collision of August 11, Randolph slotted his second basemen into the vacancy behind Reyes and ahead of Carlos Beltran. New York's keystone situation is a complete disaster, between Miguel Cairo, who has no business being a regular, and Kazuo Matsui, who has the skill set of countryman Tsuyoshi Shinjo sans stylish orange wristbands. After showing flashes of effectiveness last season, Matsui has regressed horribly this year instead of taking the step forward his power-hitting namesake did in his second campaign stateside. Matsui and Cairo have combined for a -5.5 VORP, and their out-magnetization has robbed the big guns–Cliff Floyd and David Wright–of precious RBI opportunities.
That's just a bit of a long piece. Apparently, Randolph is afraid of Floyd not getting "protection" if Wright is moved to the three hole with Beltran moving to the two-spot where he belongs.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:51 pmBecause Willie Randolph is running the team and he knows that you need a fast guy who will put the ball in play hitting second.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:51 pmSure would be nice to get that run…
September 6th, 2005 at 6:54 pmBraves hitters versus Pedro:
Chipper .125 .263 .313, 32 AB
Andruw .182 .182 .409, 22 AB
Jordan .300 .300 .400, 20 AB
Furcal .133 .133 .133, 15 AB
Estrada .444 .545 .778, 9 AB
So the only guys who have hit him at all aren't in the lineup.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:55 pmThe weird thing is that Randolph, a career .276 .373 .351 hitter who walked nearly twice as often as he struck out, hit second a lot and was a practically perfect #2 hitter.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:57 pmI'll take that.
September 6th, 2005 at 6:57 pmNow would be an excellent time for a patented Francouer shoetop double.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:00 pmRandolph was one of my favorite players growing up, even if he was a d-mn-d Yankee. I remember one year when the Yankees were in the race, would have been mid eighties, and Henderson got hurt, and they were fine, and Winfield got hurt, and they survived, and Mattingly got hurt, and they got through it. Randolph got hurt, and they collapsed. Pity he's such a dud manager.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:00 pmWhy is Smoltz giving up doubles to their worst hitters?
September 6th, 2005 at 7:05 pmAgain, how did Matsui do that? Smoltz threw him 5 fantastic pitches, he took the first two, fouled off two more, then hit a triple. I am mystified at him suddenly discovering how to control a bat.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:20 pmWow – the Mets have been blowing chances left and right this series.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:23 pmNow it's triples to their worst hitters. KazMat does seem to hit the Braves well.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:24 pmShinjo, to his credit, had flair.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:28 pmYou know, I'll take 0 for 1 with RISP if it comes with 2 RBIs attached. Especially against Pedro.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:33 pmAnd Shinjo's name is just so much fun to say. I mean, sure.. KazMat sounds like HazMat and all. But "Tsuyoshi Shinjo!" is too much fun. Especially really fast.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:37 pmActually I think I prefer "Mothra" as a nickname for the Mets' Matsui.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:39 pmThat's really funny.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:42 pmSo far, the Mets' good hitters (Beltran/Floyd/Wright) are 0-4 with a GIDP, a walk and a HBP. Their medium hitters (Reyes and Diaz) are 0-4. Their bad hitters (Mothra, Minky, Castro) are 4-6 with two doubles and a triple.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:44 pmcan someone please tell me why they are talking about Fidel Castro and Tommy Lasorda in the same breath on radio… Give me a break
September 6th, 2005 at 7:47 pmYeah, Lasorda's much worse.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:49 pmI actually said "Ha!" just then when Smoltz got Matsui. I feel ashamed.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:54 pmI need a good team name for my intermural softball team, any help?
September 6th, 2005 at 7:55 pmYou need to give us background to make up a good team name.
September 6th, 2005 at 7:57 pmJust checked in the score (can't watch the game live today!!!), and I love the fact that Julio is in the lineup instead of LaRoche, hope Bobby will keep Julio in the lineup!
September 6th, 2005 at 7:58 pmSmitty, how about the Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:01 pmOk Mac, It is a Co-ed team here at the University of TEnnessee at Chattanooga. I wanted to use 'Sex Panthers,' but that was vetoed. Colt 45's is the best one that anyone has come up with. Ya'll need anymore info?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:01 pmYou don't want any suggestions from me, Smitty. My roto team is the Veal Rollups. Which is a totally lame Southpark reference.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:02 pmcreynolds, I don't think any South Park reference is lame. Not even naming your team after Mecha-Streisand.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:04 pmI should point out that my APBA team name was the Hoover Damned until three years after I moved from Hoover.
I'm sure that the Bobby Cocks would be vetoed, then.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:04 pmMecha-Streisand would be a great name. But I think you must at least propose Mac's suggestion. It's too good to go to waste.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:06 pmYeah, the girls on the team shot down 'Sex panthers' so i am sure no South Park stuff is going to fly
September 6th, 2005 at 8:08 pmThe Ruby Fallsettos is almost clever, but any theme music becomes somewhat problematic.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:11 pmWe would have to use Steve Perry
September 6th, 2005 at 8:13 pmThe Tough Noogies.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:13 pmWhat about Rock City?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:19 pmMocc City.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:21 pmOoh, the Bobby Moccs.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:22 pmFat Man Squeeze!
September 6th, 2005 at 8:22 pmthere was a legendary team out of auburn university called the "turkey legged dingos". one rumor was before the 1st game, everyone would get drunk off of wild turkey and draw turkeys on their jerseys in a ritualistic circle. rumors grew that they made the ugliest turkey jersey into the "senor crappy" jersey. if one were to make an error during the game, they would have to remove their regular jersey and slip on the "senor crappy" jersey. again, these are all rumors.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:23 pmSmitty, how about The Otis Nixon
September 6th, 2005 at 8:24 pmThe Chattanooga Cthulhu.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:24 pmThe Francoeur Franks?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:26 pmJulio ground out to pitcher and Marcus scored from second?! Boy, I need to see that play…
September 6th, 2005 at 8:26 pmMarcus didn't just score from 2nd on a ground out, did he? Gameday doesn't show him advancing to third on a prior play.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:26 pmI can't see it myself. I assume he was running on the play and caught the Mets off guard. You'd be surprised how often you could do that, though hardly anybody tries anymore.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:27 pmLovecraftian softball names are always nice: the Dread Esquimeaux, the Dunwich Horrors, the Space Colours. Or Biblical: The Abomination of Desolation, Onan's Revenge, the Apocalyptic Mushrooms. I'm not much for regional variations.
One of my favorites was a friend's team that was composed of his Reformed University Fellowship group, or RUF. They went as the RUF Sects (though that wasn't co-ed…).
As to the game: how did Marcus score on an infield grounder?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:28 pmLaRoche would have hit into a double play!!!
September 6th, 2005 at 8:28 pmNo wonder why we are talking about team names on game thread. How many of us here are actually WATCHING the game?!
September 6th, 2005 at 8:29 pmYeah, Marcus was running. Franco hit a dribbler between the pitcher and third, Martinez fielded and threw to first without looking at third, and Marcus just never stopped. Made it without a throw.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:29 pmI'm at work. You can tell how much I'm putting into that.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:31 pmOk here is what we settled on. Univ. of Tenn oat Chatt (or UTC) used to be the Moccasins and an indian was the masscot. Well PC decided to have them change the name to just Mocs and used a mocking bird and a train as the masscot.
We have decided to the the Moccasins. If anyone says anything we are going to say we are the Water Moccasins.
What do you think?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:31 pmThanks for the update Kirk, gotta love Marcus as long as he doesn't hurt himself.
Still working Mac?! What make you staying so late at work?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:32 pmI like Chattanooga Cthulhu better, but then I feel a certain ownership. You'll do fine. Though how about Mockasins?
September 6th, 2005 at 8:33 pmSomeone has to cover the night shift, it's my night. Used to be Wednesday most of the time, but right now it's Tuesday.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:34 pmI guess Smoltz is out of gas
September 6th, 2005 at 8:37 pm"Hi, I'm Aaron Heilman, I have a 3.63 ERA, and the Mets won't leave me in the rotation because they prefer Victor Zambrano."
September 6th, 2005 at 8:38 pmI guess they hope the name 'Victor' gives them good luck
September 6th, 2005 at 8:39 pmThat's funny Mac.
109 pitches for seven innings, I guess that's more than enough for Smoltz today. See who will pitch the eighth…
September 6th, 2005 at 8:41 pmDouble switch brings Langerhans in to play left–hopefully we'll be seeing that substitution a lot over the next couple months. Good call, Bobby.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:45 pmThe rarely seen anti-switch, where you bring in a guy to hit after the pitcher. At least according to ESPN (I know, but it's the only thing I can get to work on this computer) which has Reitsma hitting seventh. Given the odds that Farnsworth will have to bail him out, I question this.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:47 pmI agree that double switch was a little strange. Langerhans is not THAT bad a hitter.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:53 pmPhillies lost again. If the Braves hold on here, I think I'm pulling for them tomorrow.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:57 pmWell, I guess that worked out. I dunno. I either would have brought in Farnsworth to pitch to Wright, or brought in Foster to walk him, forcing the Mets to either pinch-hit or to have Minky face the lefty.
September 6th, 2005 at 8:59 pmI guess Bobby wants Reitsma pitch one full inning for once…
September 6th, 2005 at 9:02 pmChipper's hit aside, the Braves really do struggle with middle relievers. It'd be nice to have more than one game in September where we pile on a lot of runs and win going away.
September 6th, 2005 at 9:05 pmGot home just in time to see Farnsworth TEAR THROUGH the ninth.
He's just ridiculous. Schuerholtz should get a medal for that deal.
September 6th, 2005 at 9:13 pmFarnsworth is absolutely AWESOME!!!
September 6th, 2005 at 9:14 pmDon't want to nit-pick, but does it seem to any of you that Farnsworth goes to a lot of three-ball counts? Man it makes me nervous. Hasn't bit him yet though.
September 6th, 2005 at 9:14 pmJust tuned to ESPN to hopefully catch some sports news. Main ESPN is showing p*ker, ESPN2 is showing a halftime band competition. Is that lame or what?
September 6th, 2005 at 9:29 pmNot sure Kirk, I remember Farnsworth striked out Beltran on three pitches yesterday, so I don't see that as a concern…
September 6th, 2005 at 9:29 pmWait until you see what they put on The Ocho.
September 6th, 2005 at 9:47 pmJust my imagination I guess. I checked his last four appearances, and besides going three-ball on two hitters tonight, he has only gone to three-balls on one other hitter (when he walked Griffey on 4 straight).

Kagami mochi
Kagami mochi (鏡餅?), literally mirror rice cake, is a traditional Japanese New Year decoration. It usually consists of two[1][2][3][4] round mochi (rice cakes), the smaller placed atop the larger, and a daidai (a Japanese bitter orange) with an attached leaf on top. In addition, it may have a sheet of konbu and a skewer of dried persimmons under the mochi. It sits on a stand called a sanpō (三宝?) over a sheet called a shihōbeni (四方紅?), which is supposed to ward off fires from the house for the following years. Sheets of paper called gohei (御幣?) folded into lightning shapes similar to those seen on sumo wrestler's belts are also attached.
The kagami mochi first appeared in the Muromachi period (14th-16th century). The name kagami ("mirror") is said to have originated from its resemblance to an old-fashioned kind of round copper mirror, which also had a religious significance. The reason for it is not clear. Explanations include mochi being a food for sunny days,[2] the 'spirit' of the rice plant being found in the mochi,[1][2] and the mochi being a food which gives strength.[2]
The two mochi discs are variously said to symbolize the going and coming years,[2] the human heart,[2] "yin" and "yang", or the moon and the sun.[3] The "daidai", whose name means "generations",[4] is said to symbolize the continuation of a family from generation to generation.[1]
Traditionally the kagami mochi was placed in various locations throughout the house.[3] Nowadays it is usually placed in a household Shinto altar, or kamidana. It has also been placed in the tokonoma, a small decorated alcove in the main room of the home.
Contemporary kagami mochi are often pre-moulded into the shape of stacked discs and sold in plastic packages in the supermarket. A mikan or a plastic imitation daidai is often substituted for the original daidai.
Variations in the shape of kagami mochi are also seen.[3] In some regions, three layered kagami mochi are also used. The three layered kagami mochi are placed on the butsudan or on the kamidana. There is also a variant decoration called an okudokazari placed in the centre of the kitchen or by the window which has three layers of mochi.[3]
It is traditionally broken and eaten in a Shinto ritual called kagami biraki (mirror opening) on the second Saturday or Sunday of January. This is an important ritual in Japanese martial arts dojos. It was first adopted into Japanese martial arts when Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, adopted it in 1884, and since then the practice has spread to aikido, karate and jujutsu studios.

Incumbent President President-elect |
The United States presidential election of 1812 took place in the shadow of the War of 1812. It featured an intriguing competition between incumbent Democratic-Republican President James Madison and a dissident Democratic-Republican, DeWitt Clinton, nephew of Madison's late Vice President. The Federalist opposition threw their support behind Clinton. Nonetheless, Madison was re-elected handily.
Contents |
The spillover from the Napoleonic Wars had been steadily worsening throughout James Madison's first term, with the British and the French both ignoring the United States' neutral rights at sea and seizing American ships. The British provided additional provocations by impressing American seamen, by maintaining forts within United States territory in the Northwest, and by supporting American Indians at war with the United States in both the Northwest and Southwest.
Meanwhile, expansionists in the South and West of the United States coveted both British Canada and Spanish Florida, and wanted to use the provocations as a pretext to seize both areas. The pressure steadily built, and the United States declared war on Great Britain on June 12, 1812. This was after Madison had been nominated by the Democratic-Republicans but before the Federalists had made their nomination, .
Democratic-Republican candidates
On May 18, a Democratic-Republican Congressional nominating caucus nominated President James Madison of Virginia. Seeking a New Englander for a running mate, the caucus initially chose New Hampshire governor John Langdon to balance the ticket, but after Langdon declined due to his age, a second caucus later nominated Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts for the Vice Presidency, which had been vacant since George Clinton's death a month earlier.

Dissident Democratic-Republican candidate:
On May 29, a caucus of dissident Democratic-Republicans in the New York legislature nominated Dewitt Clinton, the nephew of the late Vice President, who had served as Senator and now was Mayor of New York City and Lieutenant Governor of New York. Clinton's campaign tailored their pamphlets and speeches by region. In the Northeast, Clinton was portrayed as the anti-War candidate. Meanwhile, in the South and West, where there were few people opposed to the war, Clinton ran on the basis of a more vigorous prosecution of the war.
In September, after fierce debate, a Federalist nominating caucus in New York City decided to support Clinton as their best chance to defeat the Democratic-Republicans since the "Revolution of 1800". The caucus then picked former United States Attorney Jared Ingersoll of Pennsylvania as his running mate.
Clinton continued his regional campaigning, anti-war in a Northeast most harmed by the war, and pro-war in the South and West. Although the Federalists made gains in Congress and although Clinton did better than any Federalist candidate since Adams, taking New York and New Jersey, Madison still won the Presidency by a comfortable margin. Madison, along with Woodrow Wilson, are the only US Presidents to win re-election with a lower percentage of the electoral vote than in their first election (Madison won 69.3% of the electoral vote in 1808, but only won 58.7% of the electoral vote in 1812)

Lieutenant Commander Kelley was in charge of a column of eight river assault craft which were extracting one company of Army infantry troops on the east bank of the Ong Muong Canal, when one of the armored troop carriers reported a mechanical failure of a loading ramp. At the same time, Viet Cong forces opened fire from the opposite bank of the canal. After issuing orders for the crippled troop carrier to raise its ramp manually, and for the remaining boats to form a protective cordon around the disabled craft, Kelley boldly maneuvered the monitor in which he was embarked to the exposed side of the protective cordon in direct line with the enemy's fire, and ordered the monitor to commence firing. An enemy rocket hit on the coxswain's flat, the shell penetrating the thick armor plate, and the explosion spraying shrapnel in all directions. Sustaining serious head wounds from the blast which hurled him to the deck, Lieutenant Commander. Kelley disregarded his injuries and attempted to continue directing the other boats. Although unable to move from the deck or to speak clearly into the radio, he succeeded in relaying his commands through one of his men until the enemy attack was silenced and the boats were able to move to an area of safety. |

I couldn't believe the value and ease of purchasing this online!! I was going to buy a cheap $200 mattress at one of the bulk warehouse stores. I would have needed help in getting home. This memory foam came delivered in a box right to my doorstep. It is so much more comfortable than a regular mattress. I am so glad I thought to check Overstock!!! Definitely worth the price!
Bought this mattress for my son who lives in a fraternity house. The room is quite small and space is limited. My son loves it! He says that it is more comfortable than the mattress he has in his old bedroom at home. We purchased the steel frame to go with it keeping the space that the bed takes up to a minimum. Would definitely recommend this mattress to anyone who wants a good night's sleep on a budget.
Love this mattress, it is so comfortable. I would recommend this for a new mattress for kids, it is a great price too.
A few years ago, we bought this because my daughter was uncomfortable in her twin bed. She is 5'7" and weighs all of 120 pounds, but some standard twin mattresses are crummy. My husband and I had just gotten another memory foam mattress from o.co and were very satisfied. Fast forward several years and we have a kid who has sworn off anything except memory foam mattresses. More recently, I have a 25 year old nephew who lives in a group home. They are provided with twin beds, but those beds are not built for comfort - at all. I had my nephew try my daughter's mattress and he really liked it. He is 6'1" and weighs about 230 pounds. He was so happy when this mattress arrived, and has found it to be extremely comfortable. His sleep is better and more restful. There is plenty of "give" in this 8" mattress, but I didn't want to risk having him bottom out. That does not seem to be an issue at all. This is a great value, and the quality is top notch. If I need to buy another twin mattress, this will be my first (and probably only) stop.
I was a bit hesitant in ordering this but I am glad that I did. It's been only a couple of hours of setting up the mattress and it already blew up into full size. There's absolutely no smell to it.
The quality is good but I was disappointed when it came MATTRESS ONLY when the description led me to believe it was for ENTIRE bed
This mattress is excellent , no odd smells , well packaged , and excellent price .

San Martin de Los Andes
Trip Start
Jun 08, 2007
Trip End
Sep 03, 2007
We had a very tasty dinner at La Regional, where we were treated to local specialties such as trout and deer, along with the "artesenal cerveza" (micro-brewery beer).
The following day, we went on a tour of the 5 lagos (there are 7, but the road was closed up ahead due to heavy snow). We were the only people on the bus in the age group of 20-35 year olds. The other tourists were parents with their 2-7 year old children.
Since there was A LOT of snow (ie. over a metre), we were only able to stop at a few points, and weren�t able to walk very far. Our photo ops turned into snowball fights which livened up the trip.
Fraser even managed to get stuck in the snow (this type of thing doesn't happen to Canucks!). Andrea thought it was hilarious, so she videoed him trying to get out.
On our trip, we had a parilla lunch in Meliquina, which was very tasty and then took a short walk along a beach by the lake, which reminded us of Mackenzie Country in New Zealand.
During our lunch we were treated to the "Greatest Hits" of Phil Collins. Fortunately for us, the restaurant owner lent his CD to the bus driver, so we could carry on listening to it ALL the way back. Something we have noticed in Argentina is that bus drivers really love to play cheesy easy listening 80s music (Micheal Bolton, Roxette, Bryan Adams ... etc)

Jay-Z may take the R-train – but '80s icon Rick Springfield did him one better yesterday, playing a pair of spontaneous, underground concerts inside two different New York City subway stations. (When you're not famous, "surprise concerts in a subway station" are called "busking.")
Was Springfield trying to promote his latest album, or was he simply serenading commuters because he felt bored on Wednesday morning? The point is probably moot – what matters is that he played "Jessie's Girl," which remains a solid jam that's also much harder to belt out at karaoke than it has any right to be. Need proof? Check out how poorly this crowd is singing along until Rick hits his iconic chorus:

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I don't think that'll work. Your loop's exit condition is based on Midpoint but you haven't maintained that within the loop so it will never exist. In fact it will simply keep iterating until EndPoint drops off the beginning of the index or StartPoint drops off the end, at which point you'll get an error. I'm also not aure what you're trying to do. Are you just swapping the order of your array? In which case it's not doing that either. It will bubble the bottom element to the top and the top to the bottom but the intermediate elements won't actually move. They'll temporarily shift one place toward their nearest boundary as the original boundary element passes them but they'll get shifted back again when the other other original boundary element goes past in the other direction. Am I missunderstanding what you're doing here? edit>Also, I don't understand what you're doing to set the midpoint in the first place. If you're looking for the median element in teh array you want (StartPoint+EndPoint)/2 (and then accomodate the fact that there be an even number of elements so no single median element) rather than StartPoint-EndPoint*2. Using your formula will result in a positive int when called from AllDescending and a negative when called from AllAscending. So given your Loops exit criteria this will do nothing when called from AllAscending and crash with an "Index out of Bounds" when called from AllDescending.

What does your source code really do, can it make coffee by itself and then all you do is just place in the cup, and then press a button??? LOL I am just kidding, this source code really looks like VB.NET and then that is really cool. Because of the fact of the matter that many people like myself have stayed on the programming platform of the late 1990's. Which I am beginning to give up, right about now... So then what I was trying to say here, in this post. What does your snippet of source code, really do??? I am very interested in that fact!!

Also my nickname, means that I am: The Imperial of the Technology Industry, so then to make it really short, I just then wrote: The Imp, which is where I get the nickname from...
Even I must admit that the above creation of mine was a bad idea, which is why I deleted it.

Episode 7-- Duck And Clobbered! Or, Waiting For That Don Hancock, As Things Go Atavistic In The Night
by Barbara Lippert on Sep 29, 3:45 PM
Last week we got some pulp foot action, which lent a "Twin Peaks"-ish thrill to the proceedings. This week opens with a noir-ish mystery feel, with three forward-flashes (in medias res, to be fancy) on shots of recumbent characters. (Or as Jews ask at Passover, "Why on this night do we recline?") Don happens to be nose down on the grimy motel carpet, bleeding, while Betty, dressed daintily and watching the ceiling, faint with the vapors, is thinking about touching herself. I have to hold my nose here before I can describe the third scene: Duck and Peggy are post-coital ...

Episode 6: (John) Deere In The Headlights -- A Bloody Good Show! Plus, Don Puts The Don Back In Madonna!
by Barbara Lippert on Sep 22, 4:30 PM
The fog has lifted, but it cost an arm and a leg! Ba-bum. Although the episode was full of death, blood, and hacked-off limbs, it was still very merry, and easily the best of the third season.

Episode 5 -- The Fog: Violence, Abandonment, Obliqueness, Or, What's New, Pussycat?
by Barbara Lippert on Sep 16, 12:30 PM
"The Fog" opens with an early morning meeting in a sun-dappled classroom: Don sits respectfully wedged behind a miniature desk, while full-term Betty stands towering like the Statue of Liberty, alone in the harbor, blonde hair piled formally on top of her head. (Whereas Miss Farrell sports long, loose brunette waves, all the better to play the Veronica type Don usually goes for in mistresses as opposed to his own blonde Betty.)

Episode 3: My Old Kentucky Home, Or The Decline And Fall Of Practically Everybody
by Barbara Lippert on Sep 1, 2:00 PM
Roger performs in blackface! Red sings and plays the accordion! Sally steals! And Peggy inhales! There wasn't much action in this rather opaque episode -- at least in the classic car-crash sense. But the character details that emerged were like ice sculptures at a fancy shindig. You find them both tacky and beautiful, and can't stop staring.

We present measurements of the polarization of the J/ψ produced in 800-GeV proton interactions
with a copper target. Polarization of the J/ψ is sensitive to the cc production and hadronization
processes. A longitudinal polarization is observed at large xF, while at small xF the state is produced
essentially unpolarized or slightly transversely polarized. No significant variation of the polarization
is observed versus pT.
PACS numbers: 13.88.+e, 14.40.Nd
A detailed understanding of the production mecha-
nism of charmonium is important for ongoing research at
the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, where this process
can play an important role in the search for quark-gluon
plasma formation [1], as well as for the investigation of
the gluon contribution to the proton spin structure [2, 3].
In the non-relativistic QCD formalism (NRQCD), char-
monium polarization can probe [4] details of the produc-
tion process [5] that are perturbatively calculable.
NRQCD is an effective field theory that approximates
the full QCD Lagrangian for large quark masses. Un-
calculable matrix elements for the production of various
Fock-space components of the quarkonium wavefunction
are ranked, using simple scaling rules, according to their
order in v, the relative quark-antiquark velocity in the
quarkonium rest frame; for charmonium, this has a value
of ∼ 0.5. The leading matrix elements can then be ex-
tracted from fits to experimental data and used in calcu-
lating other processes.
A determination [6] of the various matrix elements
from available high-energy data defines to a large ex-
tent the expected production properties of charmonium,
one of which is the polarization.
cle, given the fraction ξ of particles produced in the
jz = 0 ("longitudinal") state, we can define the polar-
ization λ = (1 − 3ξ)/(1 + ξ); λ is positive (negative) for
transverse (longitudinal) polarization. While several of
the intermediate cc states are color-octet states and must
be followed by multiple gluon emission before a physical
For a spin-1 parti-
charmonium state is produced, heavy-quark symmetry
implies that gluon radiation leaves the quark spins un-
changed, providing definite predictions for the spin state
of the final charmonium [5].
The polarization of the J/ψ has been measured with
relatively high statistical precision only in fixed-target
experiments, in pion [7] and proton [8, 9] interactions
with solid nuclear targets. No significant polarization has
been seen in either, with the exception of an intriguing
large longitudinal polarization at the highest xF value of
the pion-induced data. Measurements in collider exper-
iments, at energies and transverse momenta where the-
oretical calculations should be more robust and which
are free of potential complications from nuclear effects,
suffer from low statistics [10]. Finally, in a recent study
of fixed-target bottomonium production [11], the Υ(1S)
was found to be largely unpolarized, while the Υ(2S,3S)
states had strong transverse polarization.
In this experiment, we accumulated [12] a much larger
sample — approximately 9 million — of reconstructed
J/ψ than any previous study, in interactions of an 800-
GeV/c proton beam with a copper target. J/ψ decays
were measured using the Fermilab Meson-East dimuon
spectrometer [13], which consisted of three dipole mag-
nets, SM0, SM12, and SM3, and three stations of drift
chambers and trigger scintillator hodoscopes. Data were
collected during a month-long dedicated run in which
the copper beam dump inside SM12 was used in place
of a target; the first dipole was switched off during this
Page 2
run. A copper absorber filtered out all hadrons and elec-
trons produced in the interactions, allowing only muons
to enter the spectrometer.
tion was obtained using a muon identifier, consisting of
proportional tubes and scintillator hodoscopes behind a
thick absorber at the downstream end of the apparatus.
Events were recorded when the trigger condition of two
oppositely-charged muons was satisfied.
Events were reconstructed offline from the recorded
hits in the drift chambers.
through the magnetic fields to the dump/target, where
a vertex was formed, consistent with the beam position.
Energy losses and multiple Coulomb scattering in the
absorber and the dump were taken into account in the
traceback. The momentum of the muons was determined
by their bending in SM3 and this was used to calculate
their trajectories in SM12.
The invariant mass of the muon pair was calculated
from the muon momenta and opening angle at the vertex.
Since the energy loss and multiple scattering are only
known on average and not on an event-by-event basis,
the mass resolution, typically ≈ 500 MeV (FWHM), was
not sufficient to separate the J/ψ and ψ′peaks in this run
using this extended target. While the two charmonium
states cannot be separated, it is estimated that the ψ′
contributes only about 1% to the total event count, based
on the relative production cross sections and branching
ratios into muons. Therefore, the ψ′is not considered in
the following discussion.
The mass distributions were plotted in bins in the
Feynman-x variable xF, transverse momentum pT, and
the dimuon polar angle ϑ in the dimuon rest frame. We
use the Collins-Soper frame [14]. This is identical to the
Gottfried-Jackson frame [15], used in several earlier ex-
periments, for pT= 0, and to a very good approximation
equivalent even at the highest pT values in this experi-
The invariant mass distribution in each (xF,pT)-bin
were fitted to a Gaussian peak plus an exponential or
polynomial background. All of the parameters, including
the mass, were determined by the fit. The number of
events under the peak gave the combined J/ψ and ψ′
triple-differential, unnormalized cross section in xF, pT,
and ϑ. Distributions as a function of ϑ were then formed
in each xF and pT bin.
The spectrometer and trigger acceptance was calcu-
lated with the help of a Monte Carlo simulation of the
J/ψ production process, which included all the measured
magnetic fields and detector efficiencies and geometry.
The known properties of J/ψ production from previous
experiments were used.However, because of the bin-
ning in xF and pT, exact knowledge of the form of the
cross section as a function of these two variables was
not crucial. Events were generated with a flat ϑ distri-
bution, corresponding to unpolarized production. Simu-
lated data were passed through the same analysis chain
Additional hadron rejec-
Tracks were traced back
as the real data. The Monte Carlo reproduced quite ac-
curately the main features of the data, including the mass
and vertex resolutions.
The azimuthal-angle (φ) dependence of the produc-
tion cross section was assumed to be flat in the Monte
Carlo, since the two interacting hadrons were unpolar-
ized. The corresponding measured acceptance-corrected
distribution was essentially flat, consistent with a 2% un-
certainty in the direction of the incoming beam. The
decay distribution was also assumed to be flat in φ, con-
sistent with previous results [7]. No attempt was made
to extract the φ dependence of the decay in this analysis.
FIG. 1: J/Ψ polarization parameter λ versus xF in pT bins.
Solid dots are the results obtained with the 2800 A magnet
setting, open triangles with the 2040 A setting. Only statis-
tical errors are shown.
The ϑ distributions of the data in all bins were divided
by the corresponding ones of the simulation, resulting in
acceptance-corrected ϑ distributions. These were then
used to calculate the polarization in xF and pT bins,
according to the formula dσ/dcosϑ = A(1 + λcos2ϑ),
where the normalization constants A were left free. Re-
sults were obtained separately for two experimental runs
with the current in the SM12 magnet set to 2040 and
2800 A respectively, resulting in substantially different
Figure 1 shows the polarization parameter λ as a func-
tion of xFin four pTbins; it can be seen that results from
the two magnet settings are in reasonable agreement, giv-
ing some confidence that the acceptance is understood
and providing an estimate for the magnitude of the rel-
evant systematic uncertainties. The xF dependence of λ
Page 3
appears to be independent of pT.
FIG. 2: J/Ψ polarization parameter λ versus pT for two xF
ranges: xF < 0.45 (solid circles) and xF > 0.45 (open tri-
angles). Statistical errors are smaller than the data points.
Systematic errors for the small xF data are shown as a dark
band; those for large xF (not shown) are slightly smaller.
Systematic errors from various sources were consid-
ered. Inexact knowledge of the pT dependence of the
production cross section, coupled with a strong pT de-
pendence of the acceptance versus decay angle ϑ, led to
an uncertainty of ±0.06 in λ, independent of xF. Ad-
ditional contributions included mass-peak fitting errors
(0.04–0.08, depending on the xF bin) and uncertainties
in the exact position (0.02) and angle (0.02–0.04) of the
incoming beam and in the fields in the analyzing magnets
(0.01). Uncertainties from various sources are largely un-
correlated; they were added in quadrature for the overall
systematic error.
Figure 2 presents the polarization parameter λ as a
function of pTfor two xFranges, where the two data sets
have been statistically combined. The two intervals in
xF approximately correspond to regions were the gluon-
gluon and quark-antiquark processes are dominant. No
significant pT dependence is seen in either region after
the systematic errors are taken into account. At large pT,
charmonium production is understood [16] to be domi-
nated by gluon bremsstrahlung with subsequent fragmen-
tation into a cc pair. In this case, the charmonium state is
expected [5, 17] to retain to a large degree the transverse
polarization of the high-pT, on-shell gluon. However, the
pTrange of the experiment, extending to 4 GeV, may not
be sufficient to see clearly such an effect. It must be noted
that this effect is also not observed at the high pT val-
ues available at collider energies [10], where, if anything,
polarization appears to be longitudinal. In the following,
we assume there is no significant pT dependence and the
results are presented integrated over all pT.
Figure 3 shows the polarization λ as a function of
xF for the combined data set. The one-sigma system-
atic uncertainty is shown as a dark band. Also shown
are the results previously obtained by the Chicago-Iowa-

experiment (solid circles). Statistical errors are shown as error
bars, systematic as a dark band. Data values are tabulated

Princeton collaboration [7], which used a 252-GeV pion
beam and a tungsten target. Our results suggest that the
J/ψ is produced slightly transversely polarized at small-
to-intermediate xF. Within the systematic uncertainties
the results are consistent with the CIP experiment [7],
which saw no polarization in this range, albeit with much
larger statistical uncertainties. It should be noted that
in this range the qq annihilation process is expected to
play a more important role with a pion beam than with a
proton beam, where gg fusion dominates. For xF > 0.6,
the polarization turns to longitudinal, outside the mar-
gins of the systematic error. This is similar to a pattern
seen in the CIP experiment, although the behavior ap-
pears smoother as a function of xF and begins at smaller
xF than the sudden turn-over near xF ≈ 0.85 in the lat-
ter. However, the results are not incompatible. It is also
interesting to note that the clear change in polarization
in this experiment roughly coincides with the transition
from gluon-fusion dominance to quark-annihilation dom-
Integrated over the entire xF range, the measured po-
larization is λ = 0.069±0.004±0.08 (statistical and sys-
tematic errors). This small value, consistent with no po-
larization if systematic errors are taken into account, is in
agreement with previous proton-beam experiments [8, 9],
which had insufficient statistics to study the xF depen-
As a cross-check of the analysis, the polarization of
the Drell-Yan continuum was also studied using the same
technique. This can be done only for dimuon invariant
masses greater than 4 GeV, since the J/ψ peak domi-
nates the spectrum at lower masses. An additional com-
plication arises from random coincidences of uncorrelated
pairs of muons, which in the case of the J/ψ were re-
moved by the fitting procedure. These were estimated
and subtracted from the Drell-Yan sample by studying
the distributions of same-charge muon pairs. A fit to
Page 4
the formula 1 + λcos2ϑ for dimuon masses from 4 to 7
GeV gave λ = 0.98 ± 0.04, in good agreement with the
100% transverse polarization expected and previously ob-
served [11] in the Drell-Yan process. While the kinematic
range is not the same as for the J/ψ measurement, this
agreement with expectations increases confidence in the
soundness of the J/ψ analysis. The level of statistics
were not adequate to investigate any xF dependence of
the Drell-Yan polarization.
The results are not in agreement with published pre-
dictions for J/ψ polarization based on NRQCD, which
are in the range 0.31 < λ < 0.63 [18], or with similar
predictions [19] based on an early model that considers
only color-singlet intermediate states. The small positive
values at xF<
∼0.5 are very similar to the results obtained
for Υ(1S) by this experiment in a similar pTrange, and in
sharp contrast to the essentially 100% transverse polar-
ization of the (unresolved) Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) states [11].
To understand the behavior of the polarization, all
sources of J/ψ production must be considered. While
b-quark production is not a major source at these en-
ergies, almost half of the produced J/ψ's are the decay
products of higher-mass charmonium resonances, mainly
the3PJstates χcJ. Feed-down from χc2, produced exclu-
sively in the Jz= 2 state from gluon-gluon fusion, results
in 100% transverse J/ψ's, increasing the observed values
of λ. The turn-over at high xF may reflect the transi-
tion, at xF ≃ 0.6, to the quark-annihilation graph [20],
which produces a mix of χc2spin states. As for the overall
level, it cannot be explained without a substantial contri-
bution from χc1, which in general produces longitudinal
J/ψ's. Beneke and Rothstein [18] originally estimated
the χc1contribution to be about 10 times smaller than
that from χc2, but it was later found experimentally [21]
to be of comparable size. NRQCD calculations which
retain higher orders in v can also accommodate substan-
tial χc1contributions [22]. It would probably require a
contribution near the experimental and theoretical upper
limits in order to obtain λ values as small as experimen-
tally measured, within the context of NRQCD.
In addition, it must be noted that no existing calcu-
lation takes into account nuclear effects, which strongly
affect the production cross section [23]. The formation
length of the J/ψ at these energies is generally longer
than the nuclear size [24] and it is conceivable that color-
singlet and -octet components of the wavefunction are
absorbed differently while propagating through the nu-
clear medium, resulting in a different mix of Fock states
compared to the free-nucleon production, thus altering
the polarization. Furthermore, the polarization of the χc
states themselves is predicted to have a nuclear depen-
dence [25] which would feed down to the J/ψ polariza-
tion. Finally, at the highest values of xF, higher-twist
effects may become important [19].

Should medical interns and residents engage in a strike and not do any work? What about the ethical issue of their ability to "do no harm?" What about their obligation to patients? Then, what about their rights to fair labor? The question becomes where to draw the line or if we should draw a line.
Thanks! how is Tanzania? I been there once

Does it make sense to be too picky about habits of pronunciation?
How should you pronounce the word mayor? Should its pronunciation be different from that of mare? When my daughter put those questions to me, my reply was that the pronunciation of the two words was the same. I discovered that in that I took the same view as my son-in-law. It was not, however, the view that my daughter took, and she produced a dictionary to support her opinion that the civic dignitary was "may or", whereas the female horse was "mair". I confess that I remain unconvinced, but the discussion provided an interesting insight into the peculiarities of the pronunciation rules of the English language.
Within a few days of the mayor/mare controversy, my wife and I found ourselves discussing another one. This time, it concerned the pronunciation of the letter "h". We have always pronounced it "aitch", in short, dropping our aitches. It is now increasingly common to hear people calling the letter "haitch". (From memory, I believe that has always been the common pronunciation in Ireland, and it is common in Wales.)
It is difficult to fault the logic that leads people to say "haitch" but my "aitch" habit is so ingrained that I do not propose to change, even though a distinguished linguistics specialist told my wife recently that Œhaitch" is likely to become increasingly common.
One well known feature of the English language is, of course, the fact that some words are pronounced quite differently, even though they are spelt in the same way. A good example is the "ough" ending, which produces bough ("ow"), cough ("off"), enough ("uff"), although ("o") and several other words with disparate pronunciations.
There are also well known examples of words spelt differently but pronounced the same, such as "sight" and "site", and, less well known, "lord" and "laud".
Sometimes with words of this kind there can in fact be differences in pronunciation, but differences which do not usually apply. One of my favourite examples is "where" and "wear". In this case it can be argued that "where" should be pronounced with a slightly aspirated 'wh' sound. That would usually be seen as an unusually purist claim, or as a claim made only by pedants. I must confess that I quite often do pronounce "where", "when" and "what" in this way, but my family would say that this is just another indication of pedantry (and they are probably right).
Some words may quite properly be pronounced in different ways. One of my favourite examples is "either", which for most people is "eyether" but can be "eether". When I use the word, it quite often is (when I remember), just because I quite like differing from the norm.
By contrast, there are words which are increasingly pronounced in unusual ways, where one can say with confidence that the pronunciation is definitely wrong. One example, heard depressingly often on the BBC, is "versus", pronounced "versis". Given the fact that it is a Latin word, and not just a word of Latin derivation, that is surely inexcusable. Then, only this week, I heard someone (again on the BBC) pronounce primarily as "primarily". No one would call a school a "priMARY school", which surely underlines the erroneous nature of that pronunciation.
When I was thinking about all this, I looked in the dictionary that I use at home. It is the New Oxford Dictionary of English (not in fact so new: it was first published in 1998). On seeking evidence to help me in marshalling my pronunciation arguments, I found it was of limited use. It asserts that pronunciation is not usually a problem for native speakers of English, and explains that the principle followed is that pronunciations are given where they are likely to cause problems for the native speaker of English That is all well and good, but, I find myself thinking, what about the native speakers of English who have problems, of which they are oblivious? That statement, readers of this article will immediately realise, provides incontrovertible proof that I am a pronunciation dinosaur.
I have to plead guilty, just as I plead guilty to being happily detached from some usages which are common among teenagers. For example, for me 'cool' is a description of temperature, not a term of approbation.
Having pleaded guilty, I will make the point, in mitigation, that I do realise that language is not ossified, but is constantly changing. If that were not so, we would all express ourselves very differently, forsooth.

Is This Photographic Proof That DmC's Dante Has No Man-Parts?
I've been enjoying DmC: Devil May Cry, Ninja Theory's reboot of Capcom's violent, venerable dude-juggling series. Evan likes it, too.

So, Capcom has been adamant about the fact that DMC is a re-imagining of their Devil May Cry mythos. That means Dante looks different, drops the F-bomb a whole lot more and adventures through a different landscape, even if the game plays very similarly to the titles of the past. » 6/07/12 5:00pm 6/07/12 5:00pm
