Many arthropods including insects and spiders exploit skylight polarization for navigation. One of the four eye pairs of the spider Drassodes cupreus is dedicated to detect skylight polarization. These eyes are equipped with a tapetum that strongly plane-polarizes reflected light. This effectively enhances the polarization-sensitivity of the photoreceptors, improving orientation performance. With a multidisciplinary approach, we demonstrate that D. cupreus exploits reflective elements also present in non-polarizing tapetal eyes of other species such as Agelena labyrinthica. By approximately orthogonal arrangement of two multilayer reflectors consisting of reflecting guanine platelets, the tapetum uses the mechanism of polarization by reflection for polarizing reflected light.

Earlier in the month, my DH and I celebrated our 25th anniversary. We decided to drive up to Bethlehem, PA and see the sights.
A beautiful lobby with COFFEE. |
There were charming windows. |
And lights. I loved these stars. |
My handsome husband in front of the Moravian Book Shop which has been a bookstore since 1745. |
Another view of the Steelworks. I was loving these stacks, which by the way, were used in the movie Transformers III. |
Last, but not least, Bethlehem, PA is filled with streets of charming homes like this one (which I want to live in). |
In 2013, I am going to look for the helpers, and try very hard to be one, too. Thank you for you friendship here, and I wish each of you peace.xoxPam

dc.description.abstract | The idea of employing culture as a driver in the process of urban generation has become a well used tool in promoting diversity and vibrancy within urban fabrics. In a South African context, Johannesburg's recent past has displayed disinvestment in the city core in favour of commercial growth within suburbia. A leading example being the commercially driven node of Sandton which lacks adequate public investment, resulting in a tedious and repetitive context it is here that this thesis is located. In response to this condition, the proposed scheme aims to improve the quality of Sandton's public realm by accommodating a dance company and performance spaces within Mushroom Farm Park, In doing so, the underutilised park site is invigorated and Sandton's wider context is provided with a much needed public amenity that increases awareness of the performing arts and enriches the surrounding environment. This document begins with a theoretical enquiry into city development and urban sprawl advancement, concluding with the advantages of using culturally driven activities as a means for diversifying the urban fabric of edge cities. Following this enquiry is an analysis of Mushroom Farm Park and its surroundings, the results of which have formulated a set of design informants. An explanation of the program's conception ensues and extends to the introduction of the sites intended, primary user Mzansi Productions. Having established the program, there is an exploration into the foremost design drivers in creating this architecture followed, finally, by an explanation of the building's rationale. | en_ZA |

he beautiful?" asked my friend Charles. "He has my eyes, look." Sure enough,
the newborn baby had my friends' eyes. "He's so beautiful," he exclaimed. "He's
was no mistaking the awe in my friends' voice as he held his newborn son, nor
the reverence he had for this new life that was revealed as his hand lightly
touched the baby's cheeks, forehead and chest.
He had studied every visible inch of this new life, examining the tiny
fingers and toes, the silent, quick breaths of this newborn, and stood there
almost speechless, except when he would point out one of the baby's features
that as a trait ran rampantly in his family or in the family of the girl he
was the ugliest baby I had ever seen, and growing up Catholic means I have seen
a lot of babies.
didn't matter to my friend though. The fact that his kid had been born with the
same bug-eyes and red hair that he had carried with him throughout his life was
something that he thought was marvelous. And the fact that the baby was
disgustingly fat didn't matter either. My friend was right. His little son was
perfect, if only to him and to his wife, which was all that really mattered.
And as my friend passed out cigars to the few friends he had kept throughout
those painful years of growing up as an unpopular kid who went unnoticed by
everyone else, I rejoiced in his glory with him, because I had been a father
already by this time, twice, and I perfectly understood how he felt at that
little lives are perfect, no matter how they appear to others.
is the one time that God allows us to play God, in making these little people.
It is the one time that he allows us to see all the defects in our own natures
(physical or temperamental) and smile as they are passed on to another. And no
matter what kind of a failure each of us had been throughout life; no matter
how many kids pushed us down on the playground and told us we were ugly or
stupid, when we see this little son or daughter that He has given to us through
the love of a spouse that we do not deserve, we know for just a few moments
that we are okay, not as bad as we thought we were, not as bad as they said we
were, or at least He thinks so, because he just made us all over again in the
person of this little baby.
it is like this in every corner of the world, for it is human nature, and we
cannot escape it, although there are many among us who do not see it in others,
possibly because they do not know about it in themselves.
don't bleed the same blood we do," or some variation thereof, was what we heard
often after September 11 by people who know little to nothing of the reasons
that led to the tragedy. "They don't place the same value on human life as we
do here in the West,"-- word for word what Limbaugh and his co-workers at the
Ministry of Truth had bore into the thick head of the American mind. And trying
to explain to these people who considered themselves enlightened by their
omnipotence what were the complexities of the situation between the Middle East
and us here in the US was a completely wasted effort. By this time they had not
only been fully inundated, but as well falling-down drunk with the poison that
was given out in extra-sized servings by Ariel Sharon's media/government
complex. A poison that made the whole Middle East mess out to be just a product
of religious fundamentalism as well as a whole host of other "ailments" that
people have come to believe just magically pop-up out of nowhere for no
discernible reason. And when these enlightened beings who thought they
understood the situation in the Middle East were argued into a corner by the
facts, they would simply bust their way out of that philosophical corner with
something I'm sure they picked up from some other enlightened individual.
sand niggers, we should just nuke their ass and take their gas."
wish I could say I was exaggerating on these accounts, but unfortunately, they
are all true, to which I'm sure many can attest. Not a day goes by without me
seeing some "real American" driving down the highway with a sticker on the back
of his vehicle that reduces the whole Middle-East situation to some crude,
four-letter solution
the rest of America which has so coldly (and hotly) supported not only the war
in Iraq, but as well all those other wars that have been pre-ordained to occur
at some time in the near future should see some photos. After all, we are a
people who are addicted to visual aids, from our 6 hrs a day of TV to our
pornography to our video games. And I don't mean the disgusting photos of
American GI's cheering as the little Iraqi boy with his arms blown off is
loaded into an American transport so that he can be flown to better medical
care in Europe, nor the staged pro-American rallies at the toppling of Saddam's
statue. What they need is a good dose of reality television, not in the vein of
Survivor, Joe Millionaire or the Bachelorette, but rather an exploration of
what reality is for some of our fellow human beings in other parts of the
he beautiful? said Saede Bashete 18 months ago about his newborn son, Alyan. "He
has my eyes, look."
we can't look now, because little Alyan was shot in the head by an Israeli
soldier, and the only photo I have been able to find of him is the one of him
wrapped in bandages, so we cannot even tell the color of his hair. At one time
though, his father was passing out cigars to his friends who congratulated him
in his latest success at playing God. For 18 months, Saede Bashete knew that he
must not be all that bad, because he had been made all over again in the person
of his little son.
so beautiful," said the baby girl's mother. "She's perfect," agreed her
husband, as they both gazed down at newborn Christine Saada. She looked just
like her mother, with her dark wavy hair, black eyes and beautiful Arabic nose.
years later, the only thing remaining as proof of this little girl's existence
is a lock of blood-soaked hair and some pictures, although I doubt that her
family would keep the same picture of her on their mantle that I have in front
of me now, because it shows this once beautiful little girl on a stretcher, one
eye open, one eye closed, who died after she too was machine-gunned by Israeli
just sand niggers, nuke their ass and take their gas."
is a semi-bright spot in all of this though. Indeed, not all the children of
Palestine that have been shot, burned, blown-up or bulldozed by the Israelis
have been killed. Many have survived the attempted assassinations by the
Israeli government, but are now forced to continue their lives in a seriously
diminished capacity compared to what they originally had. Many don't have arms,
or legs, or smooth skin, or noses, or bowels, or hair, or eyes, or a whole host
of other things with which they were perfectly born. They are alive, these once
perfect recreations of two people who were allowed to play God, parents who
must cry out in anguish every day at the site of a helpless child who can't
feed herself or wipe himself or smell anything. A child that knows that people
stare at them when they go out, a child who hears the jokes and snickers made
at his or her expense when Israeli settlers walk by and glance, a child that
knows that he or she is a freak. A child that knows that if he or she is lucky
enough to reach adulthood without being hunted down and killed like an animal
by Ariel Sharon and the rest of the New Mafia, that he or she will still have
to live the rest of his or her existence knowing that they were cheated out of
the opportunity of living the simple life of a person with a family to raise.
Probably Not. Children? Probably not. Playing catch with brother or Dad in the
backyard? Not without any arms. Swimming? Not without any legs. Reading a book?
Not now, after face and eyes were surgically removed with napalm. Even the
simple act of hugging a loved one is not possible now that his or her hands
have been blown off.
all that a parent can think is that there was a day when this child was
perfect, and no matter what the rest of the world thinks about this little
child that is now seen as a freak, he or she is alive, and that is something.
blood is redder, and therefore more preferable to the Lord," is what the man
said, Rabbi Yitzak Ginsburg of Nablus, a settler in one of those "terrorist"
Palestinian villages that was exterminated in order to make way for new Israeli
homes. Maybe he should see how red Palestinian blood is after it has been shed
by the IDF on an average workday. One would have hoped that in this day and age
those individuals who raise themselves up as models of humanity would have
acquired some sense of color-blindness. Not yet, I suppose.
the rest of us, we should consider the idea that despite all being born human,
there are some who choose not to remain so. There are those who, given the
option, choose to be Cain instead of Abel, a lustful, greedy beast willing to
slay his brother without a thought as to what it really means for another to
suffer and die. A beast who allows his worry over the economics of his life to
justify the shedding of innocent blood, and who does not think of the pain he
will bring to parents by killing one of their children.
most of us, the desire for kingdom and sovereignty extends no further than
being king or queen of a household, having a family, providing for them, and
watching our little citizens grow up. For most of us, the idea of trading this
noble mission in life for riches, power, or whatever would never even be
considered, and therefore we cannot see the reason why other people would want
to trade this tiny, yet imperfect paradise for the chance to rule the world.
What we have to remember is that men like Sharon, Wolfowitz, Bush, Netanyahu,
and Blair are not men like us. They don't know what it is like not to crave
power, in much the same way that an alcoholic doesn't know what it is like not
to crave whiskey. They are a race of people whose thirst for power is as
passionate and dispassionate as is a vampire's thirst for blood, and the images
of dead, maimed, disemboweled, faceless children and the parents that bewail
them do not trouble them when they are making their plans, and probably do not
trouble them when they are at rest. They are unmoved by the mental snapshot of
a parent who must say good-bye to his or her child who had been born perfect, a
child that had been given to them as a gift from God, as if to say, "You're not
as bad as you thought you were."
while a parent mourns,
in Tel Aviv, a map is spread across a table, as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and
his military leaders make their plans for the next day.
as a parent cries out in anguish,
in Washington DC puts the finishing touches on George Bush's speech, while
someone else puts the finishing touches on his makeup before the cameras are
turned on.
somewhere in Palestine, a father looks at his newborn son and says "Look, he
has my eyes."

Doping: Crime and Punishment?
People who want to dope are always going to dope. When some one gets caught every one just moves onto the next best thing till that is found out. Just a stupid idea, but there should just be two categories all those doping you ride in one category and all that aren't in another then every one can do what they want. Guess you still have to police it, but at least there no cloak and dagger and think what a kick the drug companies would get with all those test subjects.

That was the coolest thing! Bud The Teacher and I have been taking to each other for a while now and about two weeks ago started taking about doing a series of joint podcasts together. Tonight we connected for the first time via Skype. Both of us are newbies to Skype. It was thrilling to hear my friends' voice from Colorado while sitting in my house here in Winnipeg. We hit a few technical snags and just as we sorted them out Bud was called away. We're going to follow it up tomorrow or the next day and finish our series of podcasts. Bud and I will post the podcasts as we finish each one on our blogs, here and there.
Just to whet the appetites of the six of you reading this ;-) here's the list of topics we'll be podcasting about:
- »Blogs and Blogging
- »Wikis
- »Podcasting
That last one will be very postmodern -- podcasting about podcasting. ;-)
I have some reservations about podcasting, but I have to tell you, they're really fun to do .... especially collaboratively. ;-)

text: More black panther than Jaguar, the Super Eight concept breathes some bad attitude into the XJ Long Wheelbase sedan. Created by Jaguar Cars' Advanced Design Studio, the Super Eight explores refinements and creature comforts under a broad, single-piece glass roof. Inside, passengers are coddled in individual seats with inch-thick carpet, chilled champagne, Waterford Crystal, and abundant matte-finished American Walnut trim. Luxurious cow hide covers seats in aniline leather, while velvety nubuck trims the instrument panel, center console, and doors. To provide the soundtrack for a hedonistic escape, a custom 860-watt, 14-speaker Alpine stereo system was engineered with a "no-expense-spared" installation. To give the car the performance its brash exterior warrants, Jaguar fitted a 4.2L/400-hp supercharged V-8. While built to draw attention to the long-wheelbase XJ going in to production, the Super Eight reveals the development mindset expected to be reflected in future models.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said there were 1,785 people still missing since the mega-storm, called Yolanda in the Philippines, hit Nov. 8. The storm affected 16 million Filipinos, including 4 million forced out of their homes, the agency said.
Sonny Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office said the Departments of Health and Public Works and Highways sent more equipment to the storm-ravaged region while the National Bureau of Investigation sent its forensic team back to assist in dealing with efforts to identify and bury the victims' remains.
Coloma, citing a report by rehabilitation official Panfilo Lacson, said 1,500 body bags and protective kits had been sent, along with heavy equipment such as backhoes and payloaders, the Philippine Star reported.

NanoMarkets Issues New Report on Opportunities for Smart Mirrors
GLEN ALLEN, Va., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report titled "Smart Mirrors Markets 2013." The report analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for both the existing market for automotive self-dimming rear-view mirrors and the emerging markets for even more sophisticated "digital mirrors" in automotive, consumer, healthcare, and advertising applications. NanoMarkets estimates that the total global market for smart mirror technologies will be approximately $1 billion in 2013, and that this market will grow to a value of just over $3.4 billion ($US) by the end of the decade.
Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/smart_mirrors_markets_2013
About the Report:
The report contains detailed, eight-year forecasts for smart mirror technologies broken out by both application and type of smart technology. Smart mirror technologies considered include self-dimming, self-cleaning, and self-repairing systems, as well as embedded electronics like sensors, displays, and cameras. Application sectors covered include automotive rear-view smart mirrors (both interior and exterior), consumer and household smart mirrors, healthcare and medical-related smart mirrors, and smart mirrors in retail and advertising settings.
Within the report NanoMarkets examines the trends that are driving demand for smart mirror technologies in these sectors: safety, comfort/convenience, design/style, and marketing. In addition, product concepts, product development, and marketing strategies of key players in the development and commercialization of smart mirrors are discussed, including Gentex, Magna, AGC, Panasonic, Seura, and others.
From the Report:
There is already a proven, strong demand for light sensor-triggered, electrochromically self-dimming smart rear-view mirrors in the automotive sector. Self-dimming improves driver comfort and safety, and we expect this feature to continue to dominate smart mirrors market. However, going forward, the importance of value-added functionalities incorporated through the addition of more sophisticated electronics, including displays, touch capability, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, etc., will grow.
Similarly, outside of the automotive sector, a wide array of new electronic functionalities in mirrors, like motion/occupant sensing, displays with user controlled and/or customizable content, network and/or internet connectivity, etc. will transform the humble mirror into a sophisticated digital device. Digital mirrors will act as information "hubs" for the user, enabling not only image reflection but also the delivery of useful and/or interesting information, thereby blurring the line between mirror and electronic device.
Other Findings:
- Retail- and advertising applications are expected to be a strong area of growth for smart mirror technologies and these markets are expected to grow to over $450 million by 2020.
- Healthcare-related applications, in both home and professional settings, are also expected to be an excellent target market for early-entry smart digital mirrors. The value of smart mirror technologies in healthcare-related applications is expected to grow to $240 million by the end of the decade.
- Sophisticated smart mirrors will also grow in consumer and household applications and is expected to grow to nearly $270 million by 2020.

Turlock City Council hints at safety concerns
The City Council touched on community safety concerns briefly during its Tuesday meeting, with plans for a broader discussion in coming weeks.
Police Capt. Carl Nielsen gave a short update on homeless issues, particularly those around Denair Park. The small neighborhood park just northeast of the busy downtown area has attracted homeless people because of its proximity to churches and a shelter that provide services.
Nielsen said he plans to come back at the next council meeting Sept. 24 with a more thorough update on homeless and panhandling issues around the city, not just in Denair Park. He said he plans to present some alternatives and programs that area nonprofit groups and city officials have been working on to discourage panhandling.
"It's on our radar; we're working on it with all city staff to come up with some solutions," he said.
City Manager Roy Wasden said he knows community members are "very unhappy" at the homeless situation, especially in Denair Park, and he plans to put together a community meeting on the issue soon.
Kit Casey, who manages Turlock Community Theatre, spoke during the meeting out of concern for his wife, who runs the restaurant Cotta's Kitchen across from the park. "We have front-row seats to Denair Park. It's more than just homeless – there's a criminal element there," Casey said. "It's a serious problem. It's about safety now, too. I'm worried every morning when my wife is getting in there that early."
At the meeting, new Municipal Services Director Michael Cooke was sworn in. He replaces retiring Director Dan Madden.
Mayor John Lazar also appointed 19 members to his new Mayor's Economic Development Task Force and approved an appointment each from the four board members. Turlock Chamber of Commerce CEO Sharon Silva will serve as chairwoman of the committee, and Turlock Planning Commission Chairman Mike Brem will serve as vice chairman.

Southwest Flight 585 was en route from Kansas City to Tampa when the fire alarm sounded in the plane's rear lavatory, airline spokesperson Chris Mainz said.
The flight was diverted to Birmingham and landed about 9:30 a.m., according to flight information records.
None of the 65 passengers or five crew members were injured. There was no fire or smoke on the plane.
Southwest took the plane out of service for further inspection. The passengers are being placed on another flight to Tampa after a delay of about an hour and a half, Mainz said.

Fine root biomass and turnover in southern taiga estimated by root inclusion netsStatistics DownloadsDownloads per month over past year Tools Lukac, M. and Godbold, D. L. (2010) Fine root biomass and turnover in southern taiga estimated by root inclusion nets. Plant and Soil, 331 (1-2). pp. 505-513. ISSN 0032-079X
To link to this article DOI: 10.1007/s11104-009-0271-z Abstract/SummaryFine roots play an important part in forest carbon, nutrient and water cycles. The turnover of fine roots constitutes a major carbon input to soils. Estimation of fine root turnover is difficult, labour intensive and is often compounded by artefacts created by soil disturbance. In this work, an alternative approach of using inclusion nets installed in an undisturbed soil profile was used to measure fine root production and was compared to the in-growth core method. There was no difference between fine root production estimated by the two methods in three southern taiga sites with contrasting soil conditions and tree species composition in the Central Forest State Biosphere Reserve, Russia. Expressed as annual production over standing biomass, Norway spruce fine root turnover was in the region of 0.10 to 0.24 y-1. The inclusion net technique is suitable for field based assessment of fine root production. There are several advantages over the in-growth core method, due to non-disturbance of the soil profile and its potential for very high rate of replication.

Elk Populations Up 44% Over 25 Years
April 29, 2009.
From the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:
Wild elk populations in 23 states are higher now than 25 years ago when the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) was launched to help conserve habitat for elk and other wildlife.
Nationally, elk numbers grew 44 percent, from about 715,000 to over 1,031,000, between 1984 and 2009.
During that same time span, Elk Foundation fundraisers generated millions of dollars, which helped leverage millions more, for a conservation effort that has enhanced or protected nearly a square mile of habitat per day—now totaling over 5.5 million acres.
Population highlights among top elk states: California, Nevada and New Mexico experienced the greatest increases with growth exceeding 100 percent. Colorado, Montana and Utah herds are 50-70 percent larger. Oregon and Wyoming are up 20-40 percent.
Several states with smaller elk herds documented exponential growth rates over the past 25 years. For example, Nebraska's herd expanded from 80 to 1,650 elk (1,963 percent).
RMEF has been instrumental in helping restore elk to long-vacant parts of their historic range, such as in Kentucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin. In these three states together, elk numbers have swelled from zero to over 10,400.
"Growth in elk populations is one measure of our success. Since we opened our doors on May 14, 1984, we've been all about habitat conservation with a focus on elk. Of course, when habitat is good for elk, it's also good for other species of wildlife and fish. And that, in turn, is good for people who enjoy these resources," said David Allen, president and CEO of the Elk Foundation.
Allen pointed out that elk populations are tied to many factors besides habitat, such as weather, predators—and, perhaps most importantly, herd management objectives of the respective states. State wildlife agencies are ultimately responsible for growing or reducing local elk herds to fit biological and cultural tolerances.
However, Allen said, "The Elk Foundation is extremely proud of our role ensuring that habitat conditions are optimum for healthy, flourishing elk herds. These latest population statistics validate our hard work over the past 25 years."
Like elk populations, public awareness and enthusiasm for elk and habitat conservation have also appeared to grow alongside RMEF education efforts through the years.
"As the Elk Foundation celebrates its silver anniversary, I hope our volunteers, partners and other supporters will stop and look back at all that we've helped accomplish, because it's really quite amazing," said Allen.
A logger, realtor, pastor and drive-in owner, each a Montanan worried about habitat loss and its impacts on elk hunting, co-founded the Elk Foundation. The first office was in the back of a trailer in Troy, Mont. Today the nonprofit organization has a modern headquarters in Missoula, Mont., and 150,000 members worldwide. Some 10,000 volunteers host over 550 fundraisers annually. To date, this funding has supported more than 6,100 different conservation projects across the country.
Habitat enhancement projects include prescribed burns, weed treatments, forest thinning, water developments and more. RMEF land protection work, such as brokering a 2008 land swap that added 61,578 acres of elk habitat to the state forest system in Washington's central Cascades, preclude future loss to development or subdivision.

NCTA partners with Carbonfund.org for greener Cable Show
The National Cable & Telecommunications Association has partnered with Carbonfund.org to make this year's Cable Show more environmentally friendly.
"We began an initiative to reduce waste several years ago and are eager to ratchet up our efforts to promote conservation at The Cable Show 2010," said Barbara York, senior vice president of the NCTA. "Many of our exhibitors have requested a carbon offset program, and we are happy to provide one. Carbonfund.org makes it easy to do the right thing and brings us closer to our goal of producing a carbon-neutral event."
By working with Carbonfund.org, the NCTA will provide a voluntary, turn-key carbon offset program to help exhibitors meet their corporate "greening" goals at May's Cable Show in Los Angeles.
The project also includes an initiative that allows both exhibitors and attendees to contribute to the New York State Landfill Methane Project, a third-party validated project identified by Carbonfund.org.
Additional information about the Cable Show green project is available. Those interested can also contact the NCTA's Department of Industry Affairs at (202) 222-2430.
Earlier this week, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers announced the launch of its Smart Energy Management Initiative (SEMI) that was designed to implement best practices for green projects.

Horizontal slot waveguide channel for enhanced Raman scattering |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 7, pp. 9060-9068 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (682 KB)
Herein we characterize and experimentally demonstrate a new type of a horizontal slot waveguide structure for remarkably enhanced Raman scattering detection in nanometer-scale void channels. As the measurement sensitivity is one of the key limiting factors in nanofluidic detection, it is essential to search advanced solutions for such detection. Combining an all dielectric resonance waveguide grating and a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate in a close proximity it is possible to create high electromagnetic field energy hot zones within an adjustable slot region. This results in a strong enhancement in Raman scattering. We show the theoretical principles and demonstrate, with rhodamine 6G molecules, an approximately 20-fold enhancement compared to a conventional SERS substrate within the corresponding slot arrangement. We foresee potential applications for the proposed approach in the fields of medical, biological and chemical sensing, where the high detection sensitivity is essential due to integration with nanofluidic devices.
