Micron-sized diamond anvils with a 3 μm culet were successfully processed using a focused ion beam (FIB) system and the generation of high pressures was confirmed using the double stage diamond anvil cell technique. The difficulty of aligning two second-stage micro-anvils was solved via the paired micro-anvil method. Micro-manufacturing using a FIB system enables us to control anvil shape, process any materials, including nano-polycrystalline diamond and single crystal diamond, and assemble the sample exactly in a very small space between the second-stage anvils. This method is highly reproducible. High pressures over 300 GPa were achieved, and the pressure distribution around the micro-anvil culet was evaluated by using a well-focused synchrotron micro-X-ray beam.
Explosively driven shock tubes present challenges in terms of safety concerns and expensive upkeep of test facilities but provide more realistic approximations to the air blast resulting from free-field detonations than those provided by gas-driven shock tubes. Likewise, the geometry of conical shock tubes can naturally approximate a sector cut from a spherically symmetric blast, leading to a better agreement with the blast profiles of free-field detonations when compared to those provided by shock tubes employing constant cross sections. The work presented in this article documents the design, fabrication, and testing of an explosively driven conical shock tube whose goal was to closely replicate the blast profile seen from a larger, free-field detonation. By constraining the blast through a finite area, large blasts (which can add significant damage and safety constraints) can be simulated using smaller explosive charges. The experimental data presented herein show that a close approximation to the free-field air blast profile due to a 1.5 lb charge of C4 at 76 in. can be achieved by using a 0.032 lb charge in a 76-in.-long conical shock tube (which translates to an amplification factor of nearly 50). Modeling and simulation tools were used extensively in designing this shock tube to minimize expensive fabrication costs.
This paper presents a novel nondestructive ultrasonic technique for measuring the sound speed and acoustic impedance of articular cartilage using the pulsed technique. data include a series of pulsed ultrasonic echoes collected using different distances between the ultrasonic transducer and the specimen. The 2D Fourier transform is applied to the data to reconstruct the 2D reflection spectrum . To obtain the reflection coefficient of articular cartilage, the data from a reference specimen with a well-known reflection coefficient are obtained to eliminate the dependence on the general system transfer function. The ultrasound-derived aggregate modulus (Ha) is computed based on the measured reflection coefficient and the sound speed. In the experiment, 32 cartilage-bone samples were prepared from bovine articular cartilage, and 16 samples were digested using 0.25% trypsin solution. The sound speed and Ha of these cartilage samples were evaluated before and after degeneration. The magnitude of the sound speed decreased with trypsin digestion (from 1663 ± 5.6 m/s to 1613 ± 5.3 m/s). Moreover, the Young's modulus in the corresponding degenerative state was measured and was correlated with the ultrasound-derived aggregate modulus. The ultrasound-derived aggregate modulus was determined to be highly correlated with the Young's modulus (n = 16, r>0.895, p<0.003, Pearson correlation test for each measurement). The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using the proposed method to assess the changes in sound speed and the ultrasound-derived aggregate modulus of cartilage after degeneration.
An in situ stress measurement setup using an optical 2-beam curvature technique is described which is compatible with the stringent growth conditions of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of perovskite oxides, which involves high substrate temperatures of 1000 K and oxygen partial pressures of up to 1 × 10−4 millibars. The stress measurements are complemented by medium energy electron diffraction (MEED), Auger electron spectroscopy, and additional growth rate monitoring by a quartz microbalance. A shielded filament is used to allow for simultaneous stress and MEED measurements at high substrate temperatures. A computer-controlled mirror scans an excimer laser beam over a stationary PLD target. This avoids mechanical noise originating from rotating PLD targets, and the setup does not suffer from limited lifetime issues of ultra high vacuum (UHV) rotary feedthroughs.
A 2-D electron energy analyzer is designed and constructed to measure the transverse and longitudinal energy distribution of low energy (<1 eV) electrons. The analyzer operates on the principle of adiabatic invariance and motion of low energy electrons in a strong longitudinal magnetic field. The operation of the analyzer is studied in detail and a design to optimize the energy resolution, signal to noise ratio, and physical size is presented. An energy resolution better than 6 meV has been demonstrated. Such an analyzer is a powerful tool to study the process of photoemission which limits the beam quality in modern accelerators.

Qatar begins probe into mall blaze that killed 19 people, including two-year-old triplets

zoomDOHA, QATAR—Investigators in Qatar carried out their first extensive probes through a fire-ravaged daycare centre and other charred areas inside the country's biggest mall Tuesday after a blaze killed 19 people, 13 of them children.
The blaze and equipment failures that hampered firefighting raised questions about safety measures in the megastructures across the wealthy Gulf.
The findings from the state-ordered inquest are expected within a week, the official Qatar News Agency said. Commentators quickly called for extensive safety reviews after the sprinkler system malfunctioned during Monday's fire.
The tragedy also is likely to push authorities across the Gulf to further examine fire safety rules in a region where the drive to build fast and big has brought concerns about the quality of emergency planning.
Rescue crews in Qatar's capital Doha had to hack through the roof of the mammoth Villaggio mall to reach the child care facility, where the victims included 2-year-old New Zealand triplets and three Spanish siblings. Two firefighters also were killed.
"What happened is similar to murder because of the lack of safety measures in such complexes," said wrote Saleh al-Kuwari, editor of the Al Raya newspaper in Doha.
An editorial in the newspaper Al Arab urged officials around the Gulf to consider creating special firefighting and civil defence units for the energy-rich region's huge malls. The Villaggio includes an ice skating rink, theme park, movie theatre and indoor Venice-style gondola rides.
"Safety requirements must be stressed," said the editorial. "They also need regular review."
Qatar's Interior Ministry said the mall's sprinkler system malfunctioned, and rescue efforts were hampered by a lack of floor plans. Other Gulf nations also have confronted concerns about whether public safety planning can keep pace with the rapid construction.
In November, firefighters in Sharjah, north of Dubai, struggled to battle a blaze in a 25-story tower without equipment to reach the flames. The United Arab Emirates is considering bans on flammable panels in high-rise buildings after more recent back-to-back tower fires.
An Al Arab journalist, Marzouki Faisal, reported that the route to the Villaggio daycare centre wound through a "maze" of narrow halls and stairways. He and others questioned the rules that allow childcare sites inside commercial buildings.

"What happened is murder as a result of negligence and idleness," he wrote.
The full list of those killed has not been issued by Qatar officials, but most of the nationalities are known from statements by various countries and families. The young victims include a 3-year-old French child, four Spanish children, an 18-month-old South African toddler and the New Zealand triplets, Lillie, Jackson and Willsher Weekes.
"It's absolutely devastating," the triplets' grandmother, Jo Turner, told Fairfax Media in New Zealand.
A statement issued by the triplets' family said, "Lillie, Jackson and Willsher came into this world together and were inseparable as siblings, best friends and the joy of our life. Tragically, they left together after only two short years."
Spain's El Pais newspaper said the Spanish children killed included three siblings, aged 2 to 7, and a 7-year-old girl from another family. Another newspaper, El Mundo, said the Spanish mothers dropped off their children while they shopped.
Tennis star Rafael Nadal of Spain was among those expressing their condolences via Twitter to the "families and friends" of the victims. The world No. 2 has appeared in a number of tournaments in the Gulf state.
At least three of the nursery teachers, women from the Philippines, died of smoke inhalation, Philippine Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez said in Manila. A South African woman who worked at the centre also died, said a South African government statement.
Qatar Prime Minister Sheik Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr Al Thani offered condolences to "all the parents and relatives of those killed in this horrible fire."
The Villaggio opened in 2006 and is one of Qatar's most popular shopping and amusement destinations in fast-growing Qatar, which will host football's 2022 World Cup.
More than three-quarters of Qatar's population of 1.8 million residents are foreigners attracted to the tiny nation for jobs ranging from labourers to government advisers.
Sheik Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani, Qatar's minister of state for interior affairs, said authorities carried out repeated search operations in the mall and confirmed that no one was still trapped inside, according to comments posted on the ministry's website.
Qatar's Interior Ministry said Tuesday that civil defence crews contained two "limited" fires at a school and the Qatar Aeronautics College. It said there were no casualties in either fire.
Associated Press writers Brian Murphy and Adam Schreck in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Alan Clendenning in Madrid, Nick Perry in Wellington, New Zealand, Hrvoje Hranjski in Manila and Donna Bryson in Johannesburg contributed to this report.

Comments Thread For: Epifanio Mendoza Stops Carlos Negron in a Shocker
Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico - Upset minded Epifanio Mendoza (33-12, 28 KOs), who once fought at junior middleweight, knocked out previously undefeated heavyweight prospect Carlos Negron (13-1, 9 KOs). Mendoza badly hurt Negron at the end of the second round, but the Puerto Rican boxer was saved by the bell. In the third, Mendoza dropped him twice to finish him off at 2:03 into the round.

"SHOCKER"?? hmmm... Not at all. Not to any KNOWLEDGEABLE fight fan that hasn't bought into this over hyped fraud. I won an easy lobster meal for two bet in this one. I knew that even an overweight Epifanio Mendoza's 'pop' would be too much for him. I once worked in Epifanio's corner in Florida about 7 years ago and knew what he was capable of against this SEVERELY over hyped kid (ala Mike Marrone and Tye Fields, only worse). I hope Negron gets out of the game now. He has NO future in this business.

In My opinion Negrón never looked impressive or much like future world championship material to Me..The last time I saw him fight, he got rocked by some other unknown tomato can & tonight he got KO'd by a blown up way past his prime middleweight journey man! Negrón NEVER recovered by that shot at the end of the previous round that left him wobbling all over the place & should have been called a knock down cause his glove touched the canvas & besides that S H I T T Y ref not calling that KD, he was also sort of hesitant on stopping the fight..He could have stopped it a lot sooner..

Nine weeks after popping the question to Amber Brkich during the Survivor: All-Stars live finale, Rob Mariano is preparing for something as potentially perilous as any immunity challenge: choosing the couple's wedding registry. "All the girls I know had to do the registry on their own," says an impressed Brkich, 25, as the couple settled in at a Brooklyn Target, "and he can't wait." Ever the crafty strategist, Mariano, 28, says he has an ulterior motive: "If we're getting free stuff, I want to have a say!" The couple's July 13 registry excursion was just one stop on their hectic schedule (see day planner, below), which has included eight cross-country plane trips and 25 paid appearances, such as the registry gig that promoted a Home Cafe-sponsored sweepstakes. (One marketing exec estimates they would likely command S10,000-S25,000 for a two-hour appearance.) As for a wedding date, "maybe early next summer," says Brkich. Putting their All-Stars smarts to good use, Brkich and Mariano quickly learned that compromise is the key to keeping their registry alliance intact. "She'll start talking about thread count on sheets," says Mariano, "and I'm like, 'Whatever, as long as they're not pink.' "

Very good fic! I did not plan on reading until the wee hours of the morning, but I just couldn't stop reading. :-) I love the idea that Shawn becomes 'slightly psychic' in the end and I would love to read a continuation of this new power (but with a different plot?) Maybe something where Shawn has been hiding his power from everyone (to give the pretense that he is 'back to normal') but then needs to use it to find someone (like Gus)... Or maybe his powers continue to change and he is able to concentrate inorder to get into the minds of others and communicate with them psychically...? Regardless, well done in with the story! I look forward to more of your writing.

No, what are you talking about? I loved this ending to pieces, the interaction between the characters were excellent. And I loved the Spongebob joke, pineapple... @.@ Not to mention I'm really glad you let him keep at least some of his powers, powers are good...
Anyway, loved this story, hope you write more! ^.^

I really enjoyed this story. I stayed up a few hours extra so I could read the whole thing from start to finish! I liked the complexity of how you portrayed the characters in this, with their reactions to Shawn's feelings and also Shawn himself dealing with his new powers. And, I wanted to say I am really glad you ended the story the way that you did, and I was actually hoping you'd end it that way too, because I would have been sad if Shawn lost all of his powers. It made sense to me! I'd love to read a sequel!
Date: January 07, 2009 12:36 am Title: Epilogue
Aw I love it! The interaction between Gus and Shawn was really spot on! Great fic!
Date: January 06, 2009 7:59 pm Title: Epilogue
Again, excellent story NMD, I loved the emotion and hurt that you could feel throughout, and I think it's an amazing fic. I actually like that Shawn keeps one of his abilties, it would be strange for him to live without them. Loved the fic, thanks for providing me with so much entertainment! I can't wait to see more from you! :)
Date: January 06, 2009 7:50 pm Title: Chapter One
Woo! I loved this story! You should totally do a sequel about Shawn learning to deal with the powers he still has while trying to hide them from everyone else. Kinda funny... he was not psychic, but pretending to be, and now he'd be psychic, but pretending not to be. He'd have a hard time explaining to Gus how he automatically knew things about a case just by touching something. It'd be fun to read about him trying to figure it all out. Just a thought, though! I loved this story as is! :)
Date: December 31, 2008 3:12 pm Title: Chapter 19
OMG you posted!! *happy dance*
I'm really glad you are continued this, I totally love this story. The paragraphing is a little hard to read though, and I wish that you posted more small paragraphs then two large ones. Because I like whump, I would like a little more description of Shawn's wounds, and because I think it would also justify Juliet's murderous thoughts a little more, since she normally doesn't like to kill people. These are just little things I noticed, and my opinion, so feel free to disregard them.
What I really love about this story is the emotion of it. You put Shawn in such an unreal situation, yet everything he feels seems like what he would feel in that situation. All the emotions are so real, and I find myself feeling them alongside Shawn. It's very nicely described too, and I find myself on the edge of my seat wondering what happens. Cammy is a wonderful OC, and she really brings out Shawn's more responsible side. She also has him wondering if he even can save this girl, as he's wounded and can't sense anymore. Plus, she's downright adorable, like when she asks Shawn if he's mad at her, that's such a kid thing to do. On a side note, SHAWN WHUMP! :) I love all the angst and whump in this, and can't wait to see how you finish it. I'm really hoping for more Shawn/Henry interaction, as I loved the dream scene with them, and that was my favorite part of the whole fic, because Shawn finally had to own up to what he felt. I still reread that scene sometimes, because it's simply beautiful.
Amazing job NMD (yeah, I abbriviated), can't wait for the epilogue. Seriously, post soon please, I'm loving this story. :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I love knowing that my story is liked. And, by the way, thanks for commenting on the two long paragraphs, I really didn't mean for that to happen and I fixed it.

Nice column
THAT would have been pretty amazing.
You wanna hear a story, nice lady? Oh, don't hurt the person!
It's always nice to see some love for the series that saved the Batman character from cancellation.
Connie Stevens?
expanded score to 1989 batman released at comic con with expanded KRULL.
Brings back some childhood memories.
Doubt it. But, FAVORITE NEW COLUMN EVER.
Spent way too long marvelling at that and saving it.
Can only mean Rocky Horror.
After a tease of Tommy Chong with the Blues Brothers, you gotta make that tomorrows pic of the day.
never stops making me laugh
That had something to do with him being a clown in the Holocaust, I think? I don't think it was either finished and/or released.

If Quint had behind the scenes pic from that movie, it would go apt with the clown theme.
I think this may be a time-traveling Jerry Lewis. Check out that rockin' Devo suit! This is apparently Jerry fresh from an Earth, Wind and Fire concert.
nothing says joker quite like white face paint over the mustache.
Drove insane by banging them while still in full make up?
But it could be Rocky Horror too. Tim Curry rules.
...The Day the Clown Cried. Jerry Lewis plays a circus clown who ends up in a Nazi death camp. Supposedly just inappropriate on multiple levels, though I've never seen it.
Now think of the insanity of Caesar having sex with another man in full Joker makeup. Mind blowing!
His over the top portrayal could easily be dropped into the dark and realistic Nolanverse and still work perfectly. Dare I say it, it probably would be more insane than Ledger's Joker, who I also loved.
the day the clown cried. was never made. despite jerry lewis's desire to make that movie.
FUCK!!! Imagine if you walked in on that?
Was made, Jerry Lewis has like the only know print of it. No one will ever see it. Well unless his family rapes his lively hood when he dies, which probably will happen and we will probably get to see it then.
Chap, that thought's just done my fucking head in.
Why did you have to put that image in my brain? Why?
If I was going to take a guess... I would say that's one of his outfits from "Way Way Out". It would fit nthe time period of this picture at least. The cat behind Adam West is his co-star from that movie.... the name escapes me. IMDB anyone???
That's Debbie Reynolds from the same movie... blond to the right.
...just stepped out of a space ship.
Always looks like the quintessential joker to me. Different time, era and style but he just has it. Total legend.

by zillabeast
I'm absoultely loving this! Keep em coming, Quint!
of filming Visit To A Small Planet, but that was well before TV's Batman. Maybe he just dug the silver unitard look.
not Debbie Reynolds. Get your '60s era blonds straight dude.
Connie Stevens it is. I stand corrected.
I don't think that's Adam West. Too small. Face not round enough, good citizen
 Note Romero's left hand, good people of Gotham. he's about to shock the monkey, if you know what I mean, and I think you do
isnt that Dick Shawn?
cuz he had a moustache! such a pity quint can't tell the difference
I agree it is Connie Stevens, plus maybe Dick Shawn and Marlo Thomas...
you can still see the 'stache
Jerry Lewis, connie Stevens and Dick Shawn were all in Way Way Out. Must have been filming nearby the Batman set
...the tv episodes aren't out yet? Don't tell me it's because WB can't find the negatives. I bet they'd look great on blu!
as Batman and Robin were climbing up the side of the building. Those cameos were goofy and great.
thats adam west alright..i confirmed it with REVENGE OF FETTs mom..she recgonizes that bathtobe anywhere..
and misses jerry lewis' fuck suit.
Romero played the Joker like a gangster--who happened to be dressed like a clown--he was more thuggish. Nicholson and Ledger did it more from the psychotic sociopath angle.
goddamned iphone
was Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes. Made absolutely no sense.
king tut rocked this show
I called it yesterday.
Lewis looks to be dressed in his outer space garb from VISITOR TO A SMALL PLANET (based on a play by Gore Vidal). No idea why since that film was released in 1960.
Joker was the best. Although I think all three were pretty cool in different ways. But as far as other Batman villains go?
 Frank Gorshin: The best Riddler by one thousand question marks.
 Burgess Meredith: The best Penguin by an umbrella, a cigarette holder and a nose.
 Julie Newmar: The best Catwoman by at least three cup sizes.
...they kept the mustache under the makeup for Romero's Joker.
...is from the upcoming Animated feature Batman: Under The Red hood. The fucker definately puts Nicolson's Joker to shame (you gotta see what happens during the scene in which the Joker asks for a glass of Water...OMMFG!)And it's a effin Cartoon!!
Why not a behind the scenes showing Mark Hamil voicing the Joker on the cartoon?
Sorry, but that picture of Ledger's joker from the other day was neither iconic nor particularly good for nostalgia. The others have all been gold though.
is the movie Jerry Lewis was filming with Connie Stevens. The movie and Batman were both shooting on the Fox lot, in 1966.
Even if they swapped for one episode.
Michelle Pfeiffer in her dressing room...Julie Newmar's costume fitting...maybe Marion Cotillard first thing in the morning.
because he heard there won't be any kids in it.. get it?
Quint...he's a good guy this Quint. If it's a picture of the rest of the cast trying to avoid him in full makeup I'll take a bullet for you Quint. I may have to find someone to shoot it first but I'll be right there...unless I sleep in or forget...Quint Run!!! It's not safe!
Jerry was playing an American Astronaut and Dick Shawn was playing a Russian Cosmonaut.
one of my fav episodes is when joker has that black box that allows him to mess with time. That show was brilliant.
July 15, 2010, 5:06 p.m. CST
by BEYONDTHUNDERDOME2GIRLS1CUPBILLCOSBY
the dark knight joker, the joker in the 60's batman could be. download it if you can, i'm sure Nolan and Ledger watched these 2 episodes many times before making the movie.
his mustache off and they just put white make up over it.
Tim Curry is the shit in that. One of King's best, and for the most part (until the climax) the TV version keeps pace.
Jerry was one of the many celebrities that appeared out of a window when B&R were scaling a building. Was Dean Martin with him or were they on the outs by then?
Loved Jack, but I'm just imagining Tim Curry bringing a little of Pennywise's menace to The Joker...THAT woulda been something, perhaps.
It totally rocks, it's a lot of fun. "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb?" Total gold! I don't understand Talkbackers.
It wasn't that Romero couldn't be bothered to shave the mustache off. He was asked to, and as a proper 60's era latin lover type, told them to go fuck off with their suggestion.
You don't see that anymore
Wishes it was out on DVD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way...Way_Out
Should be Paul Reubens
returns joker. Basically the only batman is Paul Dini/Bruce Timm batman. And perhaps big daddy. Everything else live action has sucked in comparison. It's cool to think that we could make batman work in live action but it hasn't happened yet.
1- Mr. Romero was apparently bi-sexual - he had a long affair with Joan Crawford and was known as quite a latin-lover around Hollywood in the golden era, with both genders. 2- The 1960s BATMAN TV show is not on official dvd yet because of multitudiness rights issues: the original contracts with all the guests and window cameos were only for tv airings (this is why it still shows up in syndication) - to bring them to DVD would mean negotiations with ALL the estates of those people, a herculean task. They are however available on bootleg DVD on the web. Adam West got tired of waiting to do the audio commentaries so he made a dvd of his own memories of each episode in chronological order - it can be purchased on his website. 3- there are apparently a precious few private copies of THE DAY THE CLOWN DIED around - Harry Shearer of the SIMPSONS claims he was shown it, but won't say where and by whom (maybe Jerry himself?)
Bats and Joker is easy and now the actors, who have played them before perfectly, are old enough to play them at that DKR timeline: Batman - Michael Keaton. Joker - Mark Hammil. And my personal pick for Carrie/Robin - Emma Stone. Somebody make that movie, quick!
But I'd rather see behind the scenes shots from the Man Who Laughed...
Here is a link you all might find interesting (including a link to the full script): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Clown_Cried
http://www.subcin.com/ - the guy who did this site knows everything there is to know, it's his research and work that put the film back in the media a few years ago.
Looks pretty sharp there just like Bruce Wayne.
imagine THAT
wasn't Roger Moore in full clown paint & clothes at one point in Octopussy?
Weird that there was never a dvd complete Batman 60's series out (legal).
Fox owns the series but WB owns the character and they can't come to an agreement. The Watchmen lawsuit settlement was rumored to have involved settling this too but it looks like that wasn't the case.
is because he was shooting/directing "Way Way Out" in another part of that studio! Notice Dick Shawn in the very background (he played the exuberant Russian astronaut in that film). I love that film, and make no apologies for being a fan of Jerry Lewis.
Connie Stevens as his wife on the right. She was hilarious in that film.
... that Heath Ledger was the first thin actor to play The Joker?
Seems he was eager to play roles that would be more then just him clowning up in light hearted comedies. He certainly did a great dramatic turn in Scorsese's underrated THE KING OF COMEDY. What if Lewis had played The joker but let him lose to play a more dark sinister version of his usual clown stitch?
She was hot back in the 60's. She starred on "Hawaiian Eye" a very LOOONNNGG time ago.
Yes, that is Connie Stevens circa the Jerry Lewis directed "Way Way Out". I agree, she was hot in those days.
where can i find this pic?
Looks like him.
oops- Yes Lewis was shooting the space comedy 'Way, Way Out' around that same time. That's the absolute genius Dick Shawn in the background.
Tim Curry was going to be the voice of The Joker in Batman:The Animated Series,but bowed out and Mark Hammil stepped in.

What was the deal with Romero being unwilling to shave it? It wasn't even that big, how long could it take to grow back?

Captains Reactions Following Australia's Second Test Victory Over England
Description:Australia's stunning turnaround from Ashes joke to juggernaut in a few months has been the culmination of good, hard work and paceman Mitchell Johnson finding himself in a supportive attack, Michael Clarke said on Monday (December 9). Australia crushed England by 218 runs within the first hour's play of day five at Adelaide Oval to take a 2-0 lead in the five-test series ahead of the third test in Perth where England have not won since 1978.

André Dumont
André Hubert Dumont (15 February 1809 – 28 February 1857) was a Belgian geologist.
Dumont was born in Liège. His first work was a masterly Mémoire on the geology of the province of Liège published in 1832. A few years later he became a professor of mineralogy and geology and afterwards Rector of the University of Liège. He subsequently turned his attention to the mineralogical and stratigraphical description of the geological formations in Belgium. The names given by him to many subdivisions of the Cretaceous and Tertiary have been adopted.
His Mémoire sur les terrains ardennais et rhénan de l'Ardenne, du Brabant et du Condroz (1847-1848) is notable for the care with which the mineralogy of the strata was described, but the palaeontological characterization was insufficient, and neither did he adopt the terms Silurian or Devonian.
During twenty years he laboured on a geological map of Belgium (1849). He spared no pains to make his work as complete as possible, examining—on foot—almost every area of importance in the country. Journeying to the more southern parts of Europe, he investigated the shores of the Bosphorus, the mountains of Spain and other regions, thereby collecting material for his geological map of Europe. This latter work of outstanding scholarship was one of the first serious attempts to establish the regional-scale geological correlation between the various countries of Europe.
The Geological Society of London awarded him in 1840 the Wollaston medal. He died in Liège.
His son, André Dumont (junior?) (1847–1920) discovered coal in the Campine basin on 1 August 1901.

Williams must remain at OLT
Posted by Bob LeGere on Fri, 12/11/2009 - 13:02
If Lovie Smith and the Bears' coaching staff are worried about disrespecting seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Orlando Pace by starting left-tackle-of-the-future Chris Williams ahead of him, they should put Pace on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. That would solve the dilemma.
Lovie is fond of declaring that he will always start the "player who gives us the best chance to win," in each game. But until Williams gets more of an opportunity on the left side, which is where he was drafted in the first round to play, it's hard to determine whether he gives the Bears the best chance to win. Based on his performance this season, it's hard to argue that Pace gives the Bears their best chance to win.
If the difference between Pace and Williams is negligible, which it appears at this point, then Williams has to start. He's only going to get better. As great as Pace once was, he is on the downside of his career and will only become less effective.
With five straight starts at left tackle to end this already-lost season, Williams can get the experience he needs to be an effective starter next year and for the next decade.
Williams is the future, and the future is now.

Life Insurance Settlements:
Regulatory Inconsistencies May Pose a Number of Challenges
GAO-10-775: Published: Jul 9, 2010. Publicly Released: Jul 22, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the late 1990s, life settlements have offered consumers benefits but also exposed them to risks, giving rise to regulatory concerns. A policy owner with unneeded life insurance can surrender the policy to the insurer for its cash surrender value. Or, the owner may receive more by selling the policy to a third-party investor through a life settlement. These transactions have involved high-dollar-amount policies covering older persons. Despite their potential benefits, life settlements can have unintended consequences for policy owners, such as unexpected tax liabilities. Also, policy owners commonly rely on intermediaries to help them, and some intermediaries may engage in abusive practices. As requested, this report addresses how the life settlement market is organized and regulated, and what challenges policy owners, investors, and others face in connection with life settlements. GAO reviewed and analyzed studies on life settlements and applicable state and federal laws; surveyed insurance regulators and life settlement providers; and interviewed relevant market participants, state and federal regulators, trade associations, and market observers.
The life settlement market is organized largely as an informal network of intermediaries facilitating the sale of life insurance policies by owners to third-party investors. Policy owners may sell policies directly to investors in some cases, but owners and investors commonly use intermediaries. Life settlement brokers represent policy owners for a fee or commission and may solicit bids for policies from multiple life settlement providers with the goal of obtaining the best price. Life settlement providers buy life insurance policies for investors or for their own accounts. No comprehensive data exist on market size, but estimates indicate it grew rapidly from its inception around 1998 until the recent financial crisis. Estimates of the total face value of policies settled in 2008 ranged from around $9 billion to $12 billion. State and federal regulators oversee various aspects of the life settlement market. Life settlements typically comprise two transactions: the sale of a policy by its owner to a provider, and the sale of a policy by the provider to an investor. As of February 2010, 38 states had insurance laws specifically to regulate life settlements. State insurance regulators focus on regulating life settlements to protect policy owners by imposing licensing, disclosure, and other requirements on brokers and providers. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where its jurisdiction permits, and state securities regulators regulate investments in life settlements to protect investors. One type of policy (variable life) is considered a security; thus, settlements involving these policies are under SEC jurisdiction. SEC also asserted jurisdiction over certain investments in life settlements involving nonvariable, or traditional, life insurance policies, but their status as securities is unclear because of conflicting circuit court decisions. All but two states regulate investments in life settlements as securities under their securities laws. Inconsistencies in the regulation of life settlements may pose challenges. Policy owners in some states may be afforded less protection than owners in other states and face greater challenges obtaining information to protect their interests. Twelve states and the District of Columbia do not have laws specifically governing life settlements, and disclosure requirements can differ among the other states. Policy owners also could complete a life settlement without knowing how much they paid brokers or whether they received a fair price, unless such information was provided voluntarily. Some investors may face challenges obtaining adequate information about life settlement investments. Because of conflicting court decisions and differences in state laws, individuals in different states with the same investments may be afforded different regulatory protections. Some life settlement brokers and providers may face challenges because of inconsistencies in laws across states. GAO developed a framework for assessing proposals for modernizing the financial regulatory system, two elements of which are consistent consumer and investor protection and consistent financial oversight for similar institutions and products. These two elements have not been fully achieved under the current regulatory structure of the life settlement market. Congress may wish to consider taking steps to help ensure that policy owners involved in life settlements are provided a consistent and minimum level of protection. SEC agreed with our matter for congressional consideration, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners did not agree or disagree with it but raised related concerns.

10 Utility Tractors For 2014 That Offer More Power & Comfort
Jul 30, 2014-
The mPOWER 85 model is a full-sized tractor with an 83-hp, Tier 4 emission-compliant, Mahindra Common Rail Diesel (mCRD) engine. The fuel-efficient, high-performance engine reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 360 tons/year without a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The mPOWER tractors offer a choice of transmission and come equipped with a loader, a three-point hitch, and large front and rear radial tires. Boasting an operating weight of 7,297-8,177 lbs. for better built-in traction, stability and control, the Mahindra mPOWER 85 comes standard with a five-year powertrain warranty.
Mahindra's Tier 4-compliant mCRD system includes a high-pressure, fuel-injection engine; multiple injection points for fuel efficiency with greener emissions; a diesel oxidation catalyst after-treatment system; and high-efficiency positive crankcase ventilation technology to clean gases from the combustion chamber before releasing them into the environment.
For more information, visit your local Mahindra dealer or visit mahindrausa.com/tractors/mpower/mpower-85. -
Kubota announces two additions to its MX-Series utility tractor line — MX4800 and MX5200. Both offer two- and four-wheel drive with HST (hydrostatic transmission) and deliver 49.3 or 54.7 hp, respectively. The units offer enhanced environmental performance compliant with Tier 4 Final emissions, more engine power and comfort, and upgraded ergonomics.
The Kubota diesel engine, Common Rail System (CRS), and diesel particulate filter (DPF) offer cleaner emissions, and each model features hydraulic servo HST systems to increase pedal responsiveness and shifting ease. Synchro shuttle transmissions — with eight forward and eight reverse speeds — and easy shuttle-lever shifting provide maximum control. Both models have easy-turn hydrostatic power steering, and a touch-and-turn electric PTO switch is repositioned for convenience.
For more information, call 888-458-2682, ext. 900, or visit www.kubota.com. -
Kubota's M-Series tractor line includes the M6060 and M7060. The M6060 is available in two- or four-wheel drive and equipped with a Kubota V3307, 63.5-hp diesel engine and standard wet-disc brakes. Hydraulic remote levers are positioned for easy operation, and the PTO is engaged with the push-and-turn motion of a knob.
Meanwhile, the M7060 offers reduced engine emissions, high-capacity hydraulics, low noise and electric engagement of four-wheel drive with the flip of a switch. The 12-speed transmission provides progressive movement of the gears for more efficiency through all 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, and the high-capacity hydraulic flow allows 16 gal. per minute.
For more information, call 888-458-2682, ext. 900, or visit www.kubota.com. -
Case IH offers five models of Farmall C tractors that meet emission standards with Tier 4A-compliant Case IH four-cylinder, 32-liter turbocharged and intercooled engines. Glow plugs warm the engine prior to a cold-weather start; and 12-speed forward, 12-speed reverse transmissions are designed with operator productivity in mind. Farmall C models also use a synchronized mechanical shuttle and wet- or dry-clutch transmission.
A newly designed cab offers user-friendly features, which include an instrument cluster that tilts with the steering column, integrated position for the loader joystick, and easily accessible remote valves. An optional high-visibility roof panel provides more visibility.
For more information, call 877-4-CASEIH or visit www.caseih.com. -
New Holland's upgraded 75-hp T4.75 PowerStar™ model features PM (particulate matter) Catalyst technology for Tier 4B compliance as well as Common Rail technology for lower fuel consumption, and is powered by a 3.4-liter, F5C engine. The PM Catalyst is located downstream of the diesel oxidation catalyst in the exhaust system and requires no additional operator effort to activate the cleansing process.
The Common Rail engine allows precision fueling for enhanced response when the engine is under load. Moreover, the precise quantity of fuel required is injected, with fuel savings of up to 13%. The flat engine curve between 1,900-2,100 rpm maintains maximum power over a larger working range, and a power-to-weight ratio of 30.4 kg/hp delivers productivity while reducing in-field compaction. In addition, the T4.75 PowerStar's service intervals have been extended by 20% to 600 hours.
For more information, call 866-639-4563 or visit www.newholland.com/na. -
John Deere's lineup of 5E Series utility tractors offers many options in horsepower (45-100), cab configurations and transmissions. The 5E Series includes the 5085E (85hp) and 5100E (100hp), which feature Interim Tier 4 emissions-compliant PowerTech diesel engines with a 12 forward/12 reverse PowrReverser™ transmission and 540/540 Economy PTO as base equipment. The PowrReverser transmission eliminates clutching and slowing down to move from forward to reverse.
A new cab configuration on the 55-75-hp 5E models make the unit ideal for working in cold or dusty conditions. And the 540 Economy PTO comes standard on all PowrReverser-equipped models.
All 5E models can be matched with a wide variety of John Deere and Frontier implements for wide versatility in chores.
For more information, visit your local John Deere dealer or www.JohnDeere.com. -
Among the Bobcat® M-Series S570 skid-steer loader's upgrades are increased visibility, a more comfortable cab, and easier maintenance. With a capacity of 1,950 lbs. and operating weight of 6,395 lbs., the S570 also features a vertical lift path to lift heavier loads higher.
The enlarged door and windows on the sides and rear of the cab increase visibility. The cab's height has been increased for additional headroom, but the overall size of the machine is just 6 ft., 4 in.
The S570's pressurized cab features a one-piece seal situated within a curved pocket to minimize dirt and dust infiltrating the cab. In addition, two speed options (7.4 and 11 mph) are available, while reduced noise levels, standard hand and foot controls, and Selectable Joystick Controls reduce operator fatigue.
For more information, call 515-557-2069 or visit www.bobcat.com. -
The Massey Ferguson® 6600 Series offers three models — the MF6614, MF6615 and MF6616 — as well as three option packages and a choice of three transmissions, for 13 configurations in all. The 6600 Series units are powered by 4.9-liter, four-cylinder engines from AGCO Power™, and range from 100-125 PTO hp, with inter-cooled turbocharger, electronic engine management, four valves per cylinder and high-pressure, common-rail fuel injection.
The Dyna-4 transmission offers a total of 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds, while the Dyna-6 provides 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds without use of the clutch pedal. Meanwhile, the Dyna-VT has fewer parts than comparable power-shift transmissions to prevent internal parasitic loss.
The standard hydraulic system has isolated twin gear pumps operated with levers in the side console. A 15-gal.-per-minute auxiliary pump is dedicated to the loader and implements, while an 11-gpm pump is dedicated to the three-point hitch.
For more information, visit www.masseyferguson.us. -
The 1700 Premium Series of compact tractors offers six models from 35-59 engine hp, all featuring four-wheel drive, the option of a cab or open platform, two transmission choices and a standard integrated loader joystick. Electronic engine management monitors adjust fuel functions, and models MF1736, MF1742 and MF1749 feature three-cylinder, 1.7-liter diesel engines with 36.2, 41.6 and 48.3 hp, respectively. Meanwhile, models MF1754, MF1758 and MF1759 are powered by four-cylinder, 2.2-liter engines offering 53.6, 59 and 59 horsepower, respectively. All models also include a 540-rpm independent rear PTO with electro-hydraulic engagement and a wet multi-disk clutch.
Operators can choose between a 12-by-12 power shuttle transmission and a more advanced hydrostatic transmission (HST). When quick direction changes are needed, an electronically controlled, wet multi-disc clutch lets the operator shuttle the tractor, changing the direction of travel simply by flipping a lever.
For more information, visit www.masseyferguson.us. -
New Holland extends its T5 Series with the T5.105 Electro Command™ and T5.115 Electro Command™ models, which offer 91 and 98 PTO hp, respectively. Featuring the Electro Command™ semi-powershift transmission, these models also boast Common Rail Technology, and an ergonomic VisionView™ cab.
The Electro Command semi-powershift transmission features 16 forward and reverse gears. It allows selection of up to eight gears via up- or downshift-buttons on the dedicated transmission lever before using the foot clutch and physically moving it from low to high range, or vice versa. Meanwhile, the Terralock™ traction management system and heavy-duty breaks improve traction, maneuverability and stopping performance.
