- "I shall grind beneath my heel all that exists.
(天地の隔たりを見極められぬとは哀れなり Tenchi no hedatari o mikiwame rarenu to wa awarenari?)" - —Oni (Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition)
Oni (鬼 Oni?, "Demon"), also known as Kuruoshiki Oni (狂オシキ鬼 Kuruoshiki Oni?, "Mad Demon"), is a character in the Street Fighter series. He makes his debut in the Arcade Edition update of Super Street Fighter IV as a secret boss and a playable character.[3] Oni is in fact Akuma, who has become one with the Satsui no Hado entirely.
Due to his training and meditation, Akuma may have suppressed some of the darker aspects of the Satsui no Hado, allowing him to control his actions. As Oni, he finally becomes one with the Satsui no Hado, whose power has now managed to completely overtake him.
Oni are lightning-affiliated demons that are mentioned in Shinto religion, said to be fearsome giants with fangs and horns that once terrorized and pillaged villages and travelers in ancient Japan. Shinto considers impurity and pollution as unholy states of being that demons and malevolent spirits are attracted to or even born.
While the devil (the meaning of Akuma's name) and oni are two distinct creatures in Japanese religion, the idea of Akuma becoming a demon might be considered to be fulfilled in Oni; the developers also refer to Oni as "Akuma beyond Shin Akuma".[4] Oni's full name is also a possible nod to the Raging Demon, since kuru (狂?) means "mad" or "violent" and oni (鬼?) can mean "demon" or "ogre."
Though the character's motivations draw much more from Shinto oni, his visual aspects still bear significant resemblance to that of Akuma and the Buddhist Kongōrikishi (金剛力士?), or Niō (仁王?); his design is also evocative of beings such as Fūjin and Raijin, the Shinto gods of wind and thunder respectively, as well as ancient art examples of strong warriors. Characters with similar inspirations include the Black Oni from Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, Demise of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Aku from the Samurai Jack series.
Oni appears as a far more muscular and noticeably larger version of Akuma. He has dark blue skin, glowing yellow-red eyes and glowing, spiky shoulder-length hair, akin to the Super Saiyan form of the Dragon Ball Z series. He also gains fangs and short protrusions on his forehead, resembling growing horns. The top half of his gi has been blown off by the amount of dark ki he emanates, showing off his stature; the prayer beads that were once around his neck now float about disconnected around his body. He also has claws on his fingers and toes, and no longer wears sandals; his voice also sounds much more demonic.
When using fierce attacks or powerful physical attacks of any kind, his arms and legs glow a superheated color. While it is difficult to spot, the kanji of "heaven" (天 ten?) also appears on his back during the same animations, seemingly having branded itself on his back. In his second alternate costume, his skins shows cracks like old plaster, which progressively falls away as he is hit with Focus Attacks, showing pure, swirling dark energy underneath; he is the only character to possess such a costume.
Most characters do not recognize Oni as a form of Akuma, even Akuma himself (although Oni recognizes Akuma as his former self). In fact, Zangief is the only fighter to notice Oni's increased build mass; however, Zangief fails to notice any other changes (such as the blue skin, aura, etc.).
Oni has discarded his remaining humanity (saying that it is of no use to "evil incarnate"), his identity as Akuma, and his prominent moral code as a warrior; he will fight anyone to the death, regardless of condition, rather than seeking out worthy opponents to fight in a fair match. His presence is such that certain characters even refer to him as a god in their win quotes.In addition, he now talks in the third person more than usual, although sometimes he will talk in complete sentences. He also retains some of Akuma's personality traits; despite calling himself "evil incarnate", he still shows strong hostility towards villains such as Seth or M. Bison, who Akuma despises for taking "shortcuts" to attain their power. He is also visibly pleased to see Ryu give in to the Satsui no Hado, based on his pre-boss match dialogue with Evil Ryu.
In Street Fighter X Tekken, during Akuma's ending, he faces a Pandora version of Oni, which he aptly refers to as "nothing but a shadow, raging against that which casts it"; the Oni that came from Pandora's box was Pandora's energy responding to Akuma's desire for a battle that will cost him his life.
Super Street Fighter IV Edit
In his intro, his roar echoes through the night. Instantly after, his presence causes the explosion of a nearby tree and the death of a bird. He then looks up and proclaims that he is "evil incarnate".
In his ending, he stands in the center of a volcano. Then he only jumps up and chops the ground with his hand, resulting in an instant eruption that engulfs him in lava. As the lava explodes out of the volcano, Oni flies out of it unharmed, laughing maniacally and yelling ferociously.
Gameplay and fighting styleEdit
Having reached the full extent of the Satsui no Hado to the point of turning into a demon, Oni's style is considered "without"; instead of a concrete martial art style, he relies on unrestrained yet graceful movements filled with abandon, embodying that of a terrible destructive force beyond control. The Satsui no Hado also enables him to perform powerful energy attacks as well.
Strategy-wise, Oni is a character who retains the basic characteristics of Akuma, and has many more moves at his disposal which he can use to control the fight. Many of his special moves' EX versions can confuse foes with their surprising speed, and his projectiles can be used to control space, while his midair moves can be used to keep an opponent off-balance.
His high-damage combos and reversal potential, combined with his above-average walk speed, allow players to create massive-pressure situations while remaining mobile and flexible via buffering moves into other attacks. Unfortunately, Oni's below-average stamina and stun and his short-range Focus Attack means that he relies on getting up-close to the opponent to really excel, although he does has more than a few options for traveling across the screen quickly and closing in on his opponent.
Oni's moves are naturally partially borrowed from Akuma (e.g. his heavy punch seems to resemble Akuma's Focus Attack, although Oni performs a spear hand instead of a punch); he still uses the Tatsumaki Zankukyaku, Goshoryuken and Gohadoken, each with heavily altered properties. Other moves have been altered into or replaced by another move entirely; the Shakunetsu Hadoken is replaced with the electric equivalent, Gorai Hadoken. Oni also loses the ability to teleport, which seems to be replaced by the Rakan Dantojin, a vaguely similar slide that follows with a pair of slashing palm swipes. He also possesses a midair palm thrust in lieu of the Zanku Hadoken; the move grants him major midair maneuverability. He also uses the Sekisei Jiraiken, an overhead smash attack similar to the Tenma Shurettou.
Super/Ultra CombosEdit
Oni's Raging Demon is fairly unique within the main series, being the only variant that is also usable in midair; the only other character with such a move is Cyber-Akuma. Several moves give players opportunities to Super Cancel into the Raging Demon and create potentially unavoidable setups.
His first Ultra Combo, the Meido Gohado, is a projectile that can be used on the ground and in the air, and also has an anti-air variant; if the ground variant hits at close range, it will yield an extra cinematic in which Oni throws another fireball at the opponent for extra damage. His second Ultra Combo, the Tenchi Sokaigen, is a Misogi-like move that follows up a clean hit with a Goshoryuken to the airborne opponent's exposed back; though it has fewer setups, it deals far more damage.
As a bossEdit
Oni can also be fought in the arcade mode as a secret boss. The player must not lose a round, get two Perfects, five Super or Ultra Combo finishes, ten first attacks and defeat Seth with a Super or Ultra Combo to fight Oni at his true limits. Like the other secret bosses in the game, the player has only one chance to defeat the boss form of Oni, and if the player wins or loses to the boss Oni, the game ends. The ending of the current player character will then play from there.
He can be considered the true final boss, since the requirements to fight him are the highest of all secret boss characters in the game, appropriate of a character specifically conceived as "beyond Shin Akuma". The difference between the playable version of Oni and "Shin-Oni" is stated by Capcom[citation needed] to be due to the survival of a small part of Akuma's will that is attempting to weaken Oni.
Gameplay-wise, the 'boss' Oni is analogous to the relationship between Akuma and Shin Akuma. While the two version operate similarly on the surface, Shin Oni's frame data is completely different. He has lesser recovery time between attacks, and his special and command attacks have more invincible frames than the playable version. In addition, he floats with his ki rather than walking, allowing him to move around faster, and he also has more stun and stamina.
His Gohadoken is a two-hit projectile that neither needs to be charged nor fizzles out after a certain distance; the EX variant of the Gohadoken lands three hits and inflicts even more damage. Shin Oni's Gorai Hadoken also inflicts slightly more stun than the normal version, making it hard to win a projectile war against him. His Goshoryuken, Rakan Dantojin, and Sekisei Jiraiken have more invincibility at startup (against projectiles and lower body hits respectively), than the regular versions. He also possesses an EX version of the Zanku Hadosho which is unavailable to the playable version.
His regular and air Raging Demon also travels much faster and farther, are completely immune to any attacks, and have greater priority than most Ultra Combos. The only possible methods to dodge evasions are jumping, Shoryukens and any moves that have startup invincibility; it is impossible to counter boss Oni's Raging Demon. As an added difficulty spike, the frames needed to activate boss Oni's Tenchi Sokaigen are half that of the regular playable version.
Crossover AppearancesEdit
Asura's WrathEdit
Oni appears in the second half of the second DLC Lost Episode The Strongest vs. The Angriest, given the epithet of "Destroyer of Heaven". After being slammed into a wall, Akuma immediately allows the Satsui no Hado to take over his body and transform (showing that he has some semblance of control), which prompts Asura to go into his strongest form possible (and the second strongest form), Mantra Asura. Oni goes toe-to-toe with the wrath-embodied god and starts the battle off with a Misogi.
Much like the Evil Ryu battle, the fight with Oni uses the traditional battle system featured in the game and allows a seemingly more accurate portrayal of his powers, which include: gigantic Gorai Hadokens, a spread version of Gohadoken that fires off five shots, a much larger Tatsumaki Zankukyaku, and the ability to warp when using Focus Attacks. He retains his Ultra Combos, but it is possible to avoid them; Asura also has the ability to redirect the Meido Gohado, and counter the Raging Demon in a manner similar to his earlier defeat of Evil Ryu, but if Asura does not counter it in time, Oni will be shown attacking Asura with a swinging punch to the side of the head, a punch below the chin, a punch to the face, a punch to the chest, and finally sends Asura flying with the final blow, which deals a lot of damage. Finally, Asura can counter the Tenchi Sokaigen with a similar-looking move before countering the final punch, forming the familiar kanji.
The battle continues until Oni thrusts towards Asura and punches him into the Moon so hard it splits apart, despite Asura blocking the attack. The battle is then taken inside its core and in space. The battle ends when both combatants wrestle each other while blasting through the Earth's atmosphere and crash-land, still struggling; the struggle lasts 500 years, still not ending as they are reduced to their normal forms, and they are now almost statues covered in moss. Both suddenly start to move, as then both fighters throw a punch to each other's faces, ending the episode in a cliffhanger.
See: Oni/Quotes.
- Oni marks the second time Akuma has discarded his morals to gain more power beyond his Shin or true form, the first being Cyber-Akuma in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
- A form of Shin Akuma similar to Oni was possibly planned for Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike before the character being dropped entirely. Dummied content found in the game's files, including an alternate colored sprite similar to Oni's color palette and a Kousyu Street stage background with an ominous eclipse strongly hints at this.
- Oni's fighting stance resembles the artwork of Shin Akuma from SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, and his 6th color also resembles Shin Akuma from Capcom vs. SNK 2.
- Oni is one of the few characters to phsyically interact with defeated opponents, and the only one in the Street Fighter IV series. He picks them up by their heads, then supposedly deals an off-screen fatal blow. Also, if Oni uses an Ultra Combo as a finishing move, no "KO" sign will be shown on the screen, much like Akuma's Super Combo and Ultra Combos; they also share the same Ultra Combo Finish background.
- Oni is the only character besides E. Honda that recognizes that Cody, while still wearing very loose chains, is in fact holding back on all his battles. Unusually, 'boss' Oni actually implies that Cody might survive a battle with him if he doesn't hold back; the playable version calls Cody a coward.
- If Cody wins against the boss Oni, it is the only time besides fighting Ryu that he admits having fun.
- According to Rose's winquote to Oni, it can be presumed that Oni was meant to show up at a later time, but not during the present day. This gives the implication that Akuma becoming Oni is not a 'what-if' possibility, but Akuma's fate.
- There is unused data for Oni which is comprised of mostly Akuma's neutral and close punches and kicks, includes a fully complete and functional Ashura Senku, which would only be used during the Raging Demon. He also has a descending dash which is used for his Sekisei Jiraiken, and the Tenmakujinkyaku.[citation needed]
- The mysterious "shadow" that speaks to Akuma in his ending in Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival could be considered the first foreshadowing to Oni. The observation that Akuma makes about Oni's appearance in Street Fighter X Tekken as a shadow could be a hint that this is the same being that spoke to him in that ending.
Stage ThemeEdit
Oni's theme in Super Street Fighter IV is an alternate remix of Akuma's theme from Street Fighter II.

Oslo, Norway and Taipei, Taiwan - February 13, 2007
Opera Software today announced that the Opera browser for mobile phones has been selected by ASUSTeK Computer Inc., a leading provider of 3C (computers, communications and consumer electronics) total solutions, to bring the Web to the company's Vodafone deliveries. Opera 8.65 for Mobile will be initially integrated on the V1210 for Vodafone International or the VDA IV for Vodafone Germany.
The Windows Mobile-based V1210 will allow users to access news sites, perform a search or check Webmail from the convenience of the small screen. Opera's unique Small Screen Rendering (SSR) technology adapts the Web to suit the screen size, making content easier to read and navigate. ASUS has designed this smartphone to be cost-effective and meet the needs of the average businessperson.
"Our strategy is to deliver a phone that has basic functionality without cumbersome accessories, and yet have the power to simultaneously bring the full Web to the user," says H. C. Hung, Head of ASUSTeK's Handheld Business Unit. "Opera completes our strategy by bringing a superior Web experience to the V1210, allowing customers to get the information they want, when they want it, from the convenience of their simple, business-minded mobile phones."
The Vodafone V1210 is a tri-band phone based on Windows Mobile 5.0. As the phone does not feature a camera, its 3G capabilities are purely for Web browsing rather than video calling.
"Web browsing is a key feature on the V1210 and Opera shines on this phone," says Timo Bruns, executive vice president for Business Development at Opera Software. "This is our first deployment with ASUS, but part of a longer term strategy to deliver the Web to future ASUS-manufactured phones for their operator deliveries. Our partnership means that customers will benefit from high-quality, cost effective phones that allow them to get what they want out of the Web, without limitations."

Should the United States ratify its involvement in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and take a step toward ending nuclear weapons testing for good? There are certainly risks involved. If you stop testing, how do you know your weapons will work when they need to? And how do you know that others aren't cheating and developing new weapons that could threaten the U.S.? That's where science comes in. New technologies allow countries to test their nuclear weapons without detonating them. And the CTBT Organization has built up a vast array of sensors around the globe to detect secret nuclear tests. But are these efforts enough to quell doubts about the treaty?

The ranger green Gura Gear Anansi Stabilization Bag is an hourglass-shaped bag that can be used to provide additional support and stability for any shooting setup. The bag ships empty and can be filled with any material, such as sand, dirt, beans, rice, and so on, to create a low-profile means for resting and steadying your camera. The shape of the bag promotes use in either a flat or folded configuration, depending on the shooting needs, and, additionally, it can be used as a ballast bag to provide weighted support for tripods or light stands.
The Anansi is handmade in the USA from heavy-duty polyurethane-backed Cordura materials and features double-stitched seams, reinforced handles, and a pebbled non-slip coating on each edge. The inner compartment, which is separated by a touch-tab fastener divider, is protected through the use of a concealed YKK zipper with a leak-stop tab to ensure the fill remains in the bag during use.
- Hourglass shape promotes even weight distribution and lessens the amount of fill needed to provide a stable platform area.
- Design permits use in either a flat or folded style depending on the camera and lens being used.
- Reinforced handles and folding design are well-tailored for using the Anansi as a ballast bag on a tripod or light stand.
- Constructed from polyurethane-backed Cordura with double-stitched seams, non-slip coated edges, and YKK zippers for ensured durability.

UFO sightings in Portugal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of alleged sightings of unidentified flying objects or UFOs in Portugal.
- On September 4, 1957, four Portugal Air Force pilots claimed to have seen and chased some UFOs. They took off with their bomber aircraft from the Ota Air Base in Portugal under Captain José Lemos Ferreira leadership (the others pilots were sergeants Alberto Gomes Covas, Salvador Alberto Oliveira e Manuel Neves Marcelino). When they were heading towards the city of Portalegre, Captain Ferreira noticed a light above the horizon and warned the others. The light changed its own sizes a couple of times, first increasing, then shrinking. After several minutes the pilots noticed a small yellow circle getting out of the craft, and 3 more circles appeared later. When the UFOs were near Coruche, the bigger aircraft climbed out of the Earth as the smaller ones disappeared. The bombers landed without any problems and Captain Ferreira declared: "after this, do not come to us with that Venus, weather balloons, aircraft and similar stuff which have been being used as general explanations for almost every case of UFOs".[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- On September 10, 1990, around 9:30AM and for about 50 minutes, a small "balloon" was seen hovering towards a small football field, on a small village called Alfena in the outskirts of Porto. The object was described as "a small turtle with long legs" with a metallic shine. The people present got scared and a group of construction workers started throwing stones at it, and the object hovered backed away, leaving the site. An amateur photographer took several pictures of the shapeshifting object; the pictures were considered by several experts as real and the witness accounts by the simple folks were not considered hoax.

You may have noticed that the main page now gives you a Katzdot headline underneath the random quote. This is to better serve you, the Katz-craving consumer. I heard your cry, "Why do I have to click down into features and then go to another site to view Katzdot headlines, when you could just install Katzdot on your machine and give me a Katzdot headline on the front page?" Well, that seemed pretty convincing, so I went ahead and did it.
By the way, I spoke with Dan and he said he's going to do a Katzdot update in the near future. He's also working at LinuxCare for the summer.

The act also requires agencies to obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before collecting covered information. At Congress's request, GAO examined changes during the past fiscal year in federal agencies' paperwork burden estimates and their causes, focusing on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). GAO also examined changes in the number of violations of the PRA.
As of September 30, 2003, federal agencies estimated that there was about 8.1 billion "burden hours" of paperwork governmentwide. While it may appear that the paperwork burden decreased by about 116 million burden hours from last year, it is important to note that most of the reduction was achieved through adjustments--actions occurring outside of the agencies' control or as a result of reestimates of current paperwork requirements-- and not through agency-initiated actions. In fact, the total paperwork burden, exclusive of adjustments, actually increased by about 72 million burden hours. IRS alone accounted for about 6.5 billion burden hours (81 percent) of the governmentwide burden-hour estimate as well as for most of the burden-hour reduction attributable to adjustments. OMB and the federal agencies identified 223 violations of the PRA that occurred during fiscal year 2003--a slight reduction in the number of violations that were reported last year, but still progress from fiscal year 1998, when there were over 850 violations. OMB continues to take several actions to address PRA violations since last year's hearing. Still, 223 violations of the law during a single year continue to be troubling and should not be tolerated. OMB and the agencies can do more to ensure that the PRA is not violated.

Author Bio
J. K. Rowling
One night, as a young J. K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling traveled from Manchester to London by train, an idea for a book about a boy wizard named Harry Potter formed in her mind. It would change the course of her life forever. As a young girl growing up in Chepstow, Gwent, a historic town near the Lower Wye Valley in Southern England, Rowling loved to tell stories, and started to write them down when she was 6-years-old. Throughout her schooling, she entertained her friends during lunchtime with fantastic made-up stories. After studying French at the University of Exeter, Rowling went on to work in London, until at age 26, she moved to Portugal to teach English as a second language. There, she married, became pregnant, and worked on her Harry Potter manuscript whenever she had a spare second. The death of her own mother made his orphaned state much more real to her. Rowling's marriage ended in divorce, and she moved to Edinburgh with her newborn daughter, Jessica. ||After five years of writing, and a year's worth of publisher rejections, HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE was bought by Bloomsbury (U.K.) and published in June 1997. Shortly after Bloomsbury bought the manuscript, the rights were sold in America, where it was published in September 1998 as HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. Her book not only received lavish praise, winning the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year and the Smarties Prize, but earned Rowling enough money to quit teaching and write full time. Her six subsequent Harry Potter books, all spectacular bestsellers, have continued to receive British and American awards, and are all being made into films. Having reached her lifelong dream of becoming a professional writer, Rowling encourages children who want to write to read as much as they can.

New results in clinical severity of homozygous sickle cell anemia, in Dakar, Senegal. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10651122 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Despite the unicity of its genetic mutation, Sickle cell homozygosity presents different clinical features. Our objectives were to evaluate disease severity in Senegalese patients. Sixty (60) homozygous sickle cell patients were followed up monthly during one year and disease severity was assessed using the "severity index" (SI) which is resulting from epidemiologic, clinic and biological data. Mean age was 20.13, sex ratio was 0.87 and mean age of diagnosis was 9.8 years. 90% of patients presented vaso-occlusive crisis (2.53 per patient), 73.3% had infectious episodes (1.9 per patient), 69.3% had never been transfused and 25% of patients had presented chronic complications linked to anemia or ischemia. Mean hemoglobin value was 8.1 g/dl and mean Hb F was 8.2%. Low seric ferritin was found in 1.7% of patients. Benign form of homozygous sickle cell anemia (SI< or =6) was found in 48.3% of patients. Our data confirm the relative good tolerance of homozygous sickle cell disease in Senegal. The haplotype Senegal may play an important role but others host and environmental factors operate certainly because some severe cases were identified in our patients. The identification of all these factors might contribute to a better follow up of sickle cell disease. |

Corticosteroids are highly toxic drugs, he said. "Thus, by using a five-day versus a 10- to 14-day [course], we will prevent many steroid-related complications -- such as diabetes, osteoporosis and adrenal insufficiency -- without sacrificing any of the benefits of steroids for management of COPD exacerbations," he said. "There is no rationale for giving more steroids than this."
For the study, Leuppi's team randomly assigned more than 300 patients suffering from an acute COPD exacerbation to daily doses of prednisone for either five or 14 days.
The goal of the study was to see whether either treatment resulted in fewer new exacerbations of COPD over six months.
The researchers found that prednisone treatment resulted in about the same number of patients having new bouts of COPD. Among those who got five days of therapy, 56 had a new bout within six months; 57 patients given 14 days of therapy had a new flare-up.
The average time to a new exacerbation of COPD was 43.5 days in the short-term treatment group and 29 days in the standard treatment group, the researchers said.
Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said that "while treatment with corticosteroids is often necessary in exacerbations of COPD, it has not been clear how long the treatment should be given."
"The authors found that a shorter duration of treatment with steroids was possible," he said. "The accompanying side effects were less, and total dose of steroids was less long term."

Hi WebCGM WG -- I think, while we are waiting for the TC to finish its action items on the Test Suite, that we have a potentially thin agenda again this week. In fact, the single item that I can think of is this: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcgm-wg/2009Apr/0000.html We can convene and talk about it and approve it tomorrow. Or we can approve it by email (already vetted in the TC, by the way) and "adjourne" again now. I will then update the current-editor draft with our decision. Thoughts? For information: progress is being made on the Test Suite, and there is some hope that it will (almost) meet the end-April milestone for first reviewed release version. We're still thinking in terms of a virtual f2f April 27-29. Regards, -Lofton.Received on Wednesday, 8 April 2009 01:25:33 UTC

The talk focuses on quantum-mechanical atomistic modeling of nanotube field-effect transistors on a quartz substrate. Two major results will be presented in depth, both related to unusual properties of the surface electromagnetic modes of a polar substrate. Firstly, a new thermal conductance mechanism will be determined which is due to heat exchange via virtual photons that exist only in a narrow space close to the quartz surface. Such a mechanism appears to be orders of magnitude more effective than classical thermal conduction and, therefore, to dominate thermal coupling through the channel-substrate hetero-interface. This novel effect may solve the issue of thermal interconnects in future electronics. Its implications for charge transport, both for the low-field transistor mobility and the high-field saturation regime will be detailed. Second, the same surface electromagnetic modes, for a certain crystal orientation, will be shown to produce a Casimir torque, a pure quantum electro-dynamical effect. It is not just fundamental science but practical applications which drove this study: Casimir torque is of particular interest for nanotube alignment and for large scale device fabrication in thin-film transistor technology. In addition, a vertical counterpart of the Casimir force could be potentially used to improve NEMS characteristics. The range of materials where the above effects may take place, includes but not limited to various polar substrates, like quartz, sapphire, calcite, and various nanoscale channel materials, such as nanotubes, nanowires, and graphene. Recent experimental data on alignment and transport in nanotube transistors will be discussed.

Great news on the boat. I'm 6'2" and I hear you. My wife is a foot shorter which works well for us fitting into the V berth. I have never been uncomfortable in the boat due to lack of standing head room... well maybe once. I suggest the following rule... the seacover hatch is either closed all the way or open all the way... never half way. Ouch!
Which gate valve is stuck open? If it is one of the cockpit drains, I wouldn't worry about it. Others should be fixed but if I were you, I would enjoy the rest of the season and deal with it at fall haulout. (gee... after that advice I hope the boat doesn't sink in the slip!!) Have a tapered plug nearby in case of disaster.
When I bought my boat, the galley drain valve was cracked and held together with duct tape.
Since I was trucking the boat to it's new home, I fixed that right away.
Keep the info flowing!

Details are emerging on Esquela, planned for an August opening by conceptualist-owner-about-town Steven Arroyo, who is apparently a major taco fan, telling Feast, "Whether it's braised beef, shrimp or wild boar, I always thought it would be better to have a tortilla around it." He also informs Eater that "Esquela," misspelled like the discarded street-sign that inspired it, will be a taqueria that "re-introduces" the road-weary taco by focusing on handmade tortillas, along with sandwiches, daily-changing burritos, and aguas frescas. A lobster tank offers the highest hopes, with kill-to-order treats projected. Apparently, Arroyo might also expand Esquela as a small Southland chain if successful. That is, Umami Burger-successful, not just Cobras and Matadors successful.

Resolution adopted in House hailing Centre for the debt relief package for farmers
Regulatory body to decide the bonus to be given for each crop
Rs.12,000 cr. expected to be waived from about 60 lakh farmers
HYDERABAD: The Government plans to come out with a policy before the next kharif to provide 10 per cent bonus to farmers on their agricultural yield in order to boost their incomes.
This was declared by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in the Assembly on Monday while piloting a resolution hailing the Centre for the debt relief package for farmers announced in the Union Budget for 2008-09. He said the Government wanted to cover all the farmers. A similar resolution was adopted unanimously in the Council.
He said the total value of the produce, including horticulture, was expected to be around Rs.33,000 crore and the Government was thinking of giving back around 10 per cent to farmers, including tenants.
Policy details
Details of the policy are yet to be finalised. A regulatory body would decide the extent of bonus to be given for each crop. The bonus would be based on the bill pertaining to the sale of the produce to the market committee, factory or trader.
Describing the proposed bonus as "revolutionary", Dr. Reddy outlined the measures taken by both the Central and State Governments in the last four years to improve the lot of agriculturists. Around Rs.12,000 crore was expected to be waived from about 60 lakh farmers in the State under the relief package announced by Finance Minister P.Chidambaram.
The resolution, which was adopted, expressed gratitude to the Centre for announcing the package. It said "This is an unprecedented gesture by the Government of India and will help a large number of farmers in the country and will hopefully go a long way in mitigating the problems faced by farmers."
While the CPI(M), CPI and MIM supported the resolution, the BJP opposed it. However, all Opposition members wanted loans taken from private financiers/moneylenders also to be waived.
In the Council, Agriculture Minister N. Raghuveera Reddy said the waiver would go a long way in mitigating farmers' hardships.
He said farmers' suicides in the State had fallen to seven to eight a month now from a high of 180 in 2004, thanks to the Government's pro-farmer initiatives.
He criticised the Telugu Desam for claiming credit for the waiver scheme.

A tribute: A sign in Kurt Cobain Park in Aberdeen, Washington, near the house where Cobain lived and committed suicide. — AFP
The 27 Club is one of the most infamous and tragic things about rock music.
Nearly 20 years ago, on April 8, 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home. The singer, guitarist and songwriter for Nirvana had apparently killed himself a few days (April 5, 1994) earlier by pointing a shotgun at his chin.
Despite having a promising future in rock 'n' roll – in the space of a few years, Nirvana had become one of the most popular, influential and lauded bands of its generation – Cobain was haunted by personal troubles that were amplified by his drug addictions. He was 27 years old.
As the shock that swept through the music world abated, a morbid fascination was rekindled – thanks, in part, to a quote Cobain's mother made in the press. Wendy Fradenburg Cobain O'Connor told an Aberdeen, Washington newspaper, "Now he's gone and joined that stupid club. I told him not to join that stupid club."
Although she was likely referring to three of Kurt's uncles who had committed suicide, some fans thought she was talking about one of music's most notorious legacies: the 27 Club.
This is one club that no sane rock star would want to join. The only members of the 27 Club are musicians who died at the age of 27, often as a result of drug or alcohol abuse, suicide and even murder. At present, more than 40 departed musicians can be considered members of the club.
The notion of some sort of link between these deaths began in the early 1970s, after four of the most famous figures in rock 'n' roll died within a two-year span ... all at the age of 27. Brian Jones, founding guitarist of the Rolling Stones, drowned in July 1969 after taking drugs and alcohol. Jimi Hendrix, arguably the most important guitarist in rock history, choked on his own vomit – a result of a cocktail of heavy-duty sleeping pills and alcohol – in September 1970. A couple weeks later, Janis Joplin, famous for her raw and soulful singing, died from a heroin overdose. Then, in July 1971, enigmatic Doors frontman Jim Morrison died from heart failure (likely brought on by drug use).
The mysterious circumstances that surrounded these deaths only added to the intrigue of the 27 Club. Jones's coroner report lists his demise as "death by misadventure" and some, including Stones bandmate Keith Richards, still think that someone else was at least partially accountable for whatever happened. There also have been persistent rumours that Hendrix and Morrison each had some assistance in getting to the sorry states that led to their deaths – although each had an obvious history of heavy drug use, too.
Other notable musicians died at the age of 27 in the 1970s – including Grateful Dead keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Stooges bassist Dave Alexander and Badfinger leader Pete Ham – but it wasn't until Cobain's untimely end in 1994 that the notion of the 27 Club really became a well-known musical phenomenon.
Making it past that age became a strange rite of passage for young, troubled musicians. Authors began to devote entire books to the 27 Club and some even toyed with the idea that stars faced an increased risk of dying at that age. While there were claims of a strange spike in death statistics at 27, a study published in the British Medical Journal in 2011 proved that this was nonsense. However, the study did explain that all musicians had a higher risk of expiring in their 20s and 30s, in comparison to the average person, due to an unhealthy lifestyle.
In addition to the various theories that began to gain prominence in the wake of Cobain's suicide, more musicians joined the 27 Club. Manic Street Preachers guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards disappeared in 1995 and was never seen again. He was 27. Mars Volta sound technician Jeremy Michael Ward died from a heroin overdose in 2003. He was 27. And blues legend Robert Johnson, who was poisoned in 1938, was grandfathered into the club. In spite of the controversy and rumours surrounding his passing – he has no less than three gravesites in Mississippi – it's certain that he was 27 years old when he strummed his last chord.
No disrespect to those talented music figures and their tragic ends, but it took the death of another enormously popular star a few years ago to breathe new life into this particular fascination. Soul-singing megastar Amy Winehouse, whose battles with substance abuse were so well-known that her most famous song was about refusing to go to rehab, passed away as a result of alcohol poisoning in July 2011.
And, as soon as the obituary writers discovered Winehouse's age, the 27 Club was introduced to a new generation of music fans. Although the club is more coincidence than conspiracy, given the amount of music stars who leave this world too soon, it's likely the 27 Club will last as long as rock 'n' roll.
This is the last instalment of the Music Lessons column. Thanks for joining Bryan Wawzenek on the ride! Keep it rock 'n' roll.

ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR So many people seem to need me "can you trim my bushes and that tree?" but I am as an ant is to a bee I now I look upon everyone as an enemy they need me because his wife has pneumonia and jr. has a rare disease so I comfort them with some tea to put them all at ease the man across town can't fix his car so I walk there to help him even though it's so damned far little millie has no toys she used to enjoy because it seems her daddy is a man no one will employ and although it was a long walk I went out and got her a new toy as I walked home I could only hope i'd chosen something she will enjoy "will you pick all those ugly old weeds?" and so I try to meet everyone's needs "i'm old and weak so could you cut my grass" well from now on i'm just going to tell them all to kiss my bloody a*s © 2012......copyright PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~

There's a lot happening with Hulk Hogan's head this week.
RELATED: Pop Culture's Most Memorable Wrestlers
Let's start with the news that affects the outside of Hogan's face. On Wednesday, the wrestler-turned-reality TV star apparently stunned the world when he told TMZ cameras that he planned to shave off his signature facial hair. And that's not all: also set to go under the razor for work-related reasons are his long blond locks. "I'm getting ready to go on some auditions," Hogan told TMZ. "So that should be scary."
Scary doesn't even describe the reaction the hair-removing news drew from the American Mustache Institute (and YES, apparently that organization does exist). The chairman of the pro-facial hair org, Dr. Aaron Perlut, threw out an immediate, if not dramatically over-the-top, counter to Hogan's forthcoming baldness.
RELATED: Couples Ruined by Reality TV
"Not only would the removal of his lower nose foliage cause angels in heaven to die and fall to earth -- as is written in biblical texts -- but it would send a poor message to young people of Mustached American descent who wish to embrace the Mustached American experience," Perlut told TMZ on Thursday. "We do hope that Mr. Hogan, for whom we have great reverence, reconsiders shaving his upper lip shading device as millions of those he has inspired would be greatly let down, leading to mass chaos and deep bouts of depression in the Mustached American community."
What a mouthful! Speaking of the mouth, it's a perfect time to segue to the news about Mr. Hogan's.
On Tuesday night, the Floridian father of two went under the knife so doctors could remove a metal tack from his mouth, that had been accidentally left there following a dental procedure. In October, Hogan started the process of getting dental implants, which involved a donor bone, stitches and a cosmetic surgeon. Somewhere along the way, doctors removed the donor bone and took his stitches with it by mistake. Hogan said the mishap led to an nasty infection which he couldn't kick and while doctors were investigating the root cause of his ongoing problems, they discovered the wayward tack.
RELATED: Unconventional Families
But Hogan's mouth is obviously on the mend considering his ongoing chats with TMZ, which he concluded by offering this lasting piece of advice. "Theme for the day is ... kids, take care of your teeth."
And let's not forget about taking proper care of your facial hair, too. (And, of course, clearing any proposed changes with the American Mustache Institute!)

McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope
Installed in 1962, the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope is the greatest solar instrument in the world. Named in honor of the famous astronomers Robert McMath and Keith Pierce, it was designed by Myron Goldsmith. Stretching to an approximate 110 feet (33.52 meters), this solar telescope has been responsible for many discoveries, one of which includes the presence of water vapor on the great star. Pride of the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, it still remains a mecca for astronomy enthusiasts.
