PCGA Offices (Federal Way, WA)--Stanford University's Maverick McNealy, a 49th Pacific Coast Amateur competitor, captured the Pac-12 Individual title today, posting rounds of 65-68-68-61 (-18). McNealy, a standout for the Cardinal, lapped the talented field at the Pac-12's, topping his nearest competitor by 10 strokes. His final round 61 set a collegiate course record for a single round at Palouse Ridge GC.
Congratuations are in order for Maverick and the Stanford Cardinal on their victorious days.
The Pacific Coast Amateur and the PCGA Trustee's are saddened by the news Dr. Joe Salvo's passing. While playing the sport he loved, Dr. Joe left us far too early.
Dr. Joe was a current member of the Colorado Golf Association Board of Director's, currently acting as the Chairman for their Rules Committee. Dr. Joe was also actively involved with the Pacific Coast Amateur, perrenially trapsing across the Pacific Coast of North America to volunteer his time as a Rules Official and Trustee. His ability to brighten a room with him smile is a quality that will always been remember by those who knew him.
Rest in peace Dr. Joe.
PCGA Offices (Federal Way, WA)--2013 Pacific Coast Amateur alumnus James Fahy of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, lead the way for PAC Coast Alumni at the 2015 Oregon Duck Invitational last week.

PCGA Offices (Federal Way, WA)-- San Jose State University's Cody Blick of Danville, CA claimed the rain-shortened Bandon Dunes Championship last week, posting impressive rounds of 65-73-138 (-6). Cody finished one stroke clear of his nearest competitor, claiming his fourth individual tournament as a member of the Spartans golf program.
PCGA Offices (Federal Way, WA) - Pacific Coast Alum and University of Texas Sophomore Beau Hossler from Mission Viejo, CA could not catch Alabama Crimson Tide's Robby Shelton at the SH Collegiate Masters hosted by UNLV last week, finishing tied for second with Arizona State's Jon Rahm, ranked number one in the Scratch Player World Amateur Ranking.
Hossler, who last played in the Pacific Coast Amateur in 2012 when it was hosted by Bandon Dunes in Bandon, OR, fired rounds of 71-68-68-207 (-9) to land six strokes back of Shelton at -15. Hossler did however lead the Texas Longhorns to a team victory.
Other PAC Coast alums in the field included Kurt Kitayama (T11), Eric Sugimoto (T30), Lorens Chan (T34), AJ McInerney (T34), Nicol Galletti (T64) and Taylor Montgomery (T66)

I still need the reassurance of a familiar brand before it's a real story - Tony Maddox, CNN senior VP
THE LIVE ACTION TRAILER for Halo 4 has gone live, and it is rather good.
It should be, too. It is produced by David Fincher, who directed Fight Club and The Social Network, and is directed by Tim Miller, who is usually to be found handling effects.
Miller's trailer is a mix of live action and CGI, and shows us a bit of the Master Chief transformation story, manna to Halo fans.
It is called Scanned, and Microsoft offers up a glib description of its content. "Master Chief's mind is violated by a powerful new enemy, who in searching for Chief's weaknesses, finds the source of his strength," it says.
It's a couple of minutes long, or short, and is exciting enough to tide us over until the game is released at the start of November. It should be noted that it does not appear to include any in-game graphics, which could be worrying to some.
The graphics we have seen, and we have played Halo 4, were great though
It has an ESRB rating of Mature, which means it has some guns and blood in it, so be careful watching it in front of children, anyone of a sensitive disposition, and anyone that owns only a Playstation 3.
Halo 4, which of course is unique to the Xbox, will be released on 4 November and takes players right back to the start of the war that they have worked their way through in the previous titles. µ

Experimental oil drilling in Mongolia stirs a nest of bloodthirsty creatures that were once thought to exist only in myth, and draws them to the surface in search of fresh victims in this made for television shocker starring Sean Patrick Flanery. In a bid to locate untapped oil deep in the earth, an American contractor in Mongolia pumps superheated water miles underground. But there's no black gold under these desolate dunes, only screaming death. A nest of Mongolian Death Worms have been slumbering beneath these sands for centuries. Now they're awake, and they're ready to feed. And by the time these monstrous, crypto zoological anomalies make their way to the surface, it may already be too late. Mankind has lost his position at the top of the food chain, because when the Mongolian Death Worm strikes, the best you can pray for is a quick death. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

29 year old woman | Hoboken, NJ, USA | Seeking men 30-36 within 5 miles
Beginning to think the attractive, normal men in their 30's are already taken...
I would describe myself as outgoing, easy to talk to, and fun to be around. I am a genuine, open person and can hold my own in any situation. Above all, I enjoy making others feel good. I am searching for that "X factor" and a connection beyond physical attraction that is sustainable over time. At this point in my life, I am only compatible with someone who is supportive, empathetic, and cares for others unconditionally. Looking for a man who is confident, classy, affectionate, and honest. Sense of humor, sarcasm, etc. is a must. Ideally, someone who can poke fun at me but also give me butterflies. If you follow current events and politics, and can play music with me (or willing to sing while I play guitar), even better! If I had to encapuslate my "type" in one sentence: The man who treats me the best. Everything else comes second.

Russell Guire of Centaur Biomechanics organised a Rider-Dressage Clinic, helping riders improve their riding and dressage marks. The first event of its kind, it was held at Radway Equestrian Centre and was a sell-out.
The clinic had two elements. Firstly Felicity Scott, a well-known dressage judge, assessed tests as if in competition and then analysed them with each rider, discussing the various movements and marks. The second element utilised a powerful training tool - visual feedback.
Supporting the judges remarks, the rider could see their test projected real-time in the viewing gallery. This gave riders a chance to view their performance and simultaneously discuss with the judge why marks were awarded/deducted. They also received advice on areas where marks could be gained.
Instant Visual Feedback is widely used to great success in other sports. Russell is delighted to be able offer this form of analysis to the industry as a means of helping to improve performance. To finalise the "test" the rider once again rode the same movement allowing comparisons to be made between the two tests.
Felicity Scott commented, "Being able to see the test instantly has definitely allowed all riders on the clinic to make a marked improvement in their test riding."
Lynne Adams, a rider who took part in the clinic, commented, "Amazing, having the judges comments combined with the instant visual aid definitely made things clearer for me."
The next Dressage clinic is scheduled for September 27, 2008 and, given the success of the initial clinic, early reservation is recommended.
Additionally Centaur Biomechanics would also be happy to discuss scheduling a clinic at your yard. For more information on the above and to register your place contact Centaur Biomechanics at www.centaurbiomechanics.co.uk.

RE: Riders receive Instant Visual Feedback on their dressage performance
I highly recommend doing a dressage clinic! Our dressage scores would not get higher than 54%, so when the clinic came up I thought go for it!! At first, I was very nervous about doing it, as my horse is not an easy ride. Having the judges comments whilst watching the playback together makes things more crystal clear. Since that day, my riding & my horse have improved tremendously, thanks to my ever patient trainer and the judges comments. We did our first dressage test 6 weeks after the clinic and we scored an incredible 62.63%!!

TOWIE star Lucy slams reports of fiancé Mario cheating
The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh has publicly slammed accusations that her fiancé Mario Falcone flirted with another woman weeks before proposing to her in June. The 20-year-old became engaged to long-term boyfriend Mario, 24, during the TOWIE summer special in Marbella, after he got down on one knee and presented her with a £25,000 engagement ring.
TOWIE star Lucy slams reports of fiancé Mario cheating
But 22 year-old Jade Thompson has reportedly revealed to Now magazine that six weeks prior to his proposal to Lucy, the menswear tailor sent her a slew of private messages on Twitter, including one that read: "Would love a naughty night with you xx."
Lucy has hit out against Jade's claims and says that she trusts Mario one hundred percent.
The reality star explains to New magazine: "There's always going to be stories like that but there's no proof. Yes, he did message girls months and months ago but that's come out and we've resolved it."
"I feel like it has been brought up again and it's unnecessary."
This isn't the first time that Mario's been embroiled in a cheating scandal - in February the couple split after Lucy found out he had sent sexy emails to at least 40 other women behind her back, including her friend and TOWIE co-star Cara Kilbey.
Oh dear - hopefully these rumours are false, otherwise it looks like The Only Way Is Splitsville for our favourite TOWIE couple!

Improved Complex-Envelope Alternating-Direction-Implicit Finite-Difference-Time-Domain Method for Photonic-Bandgap Cavities
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 25, Issue 1, pp. 440-447 (2007)
Acrobat PDF (369 KB)
In this paper, an improved complex-envelope alternating-direction-implicit finite-difference time-domain (CE-ADI-FDTD) method has been presented for the analysis of photonic-bandgap cavities. The improvement relies on a different approach of the perfectly matched-layer absorbing-boundary condition in order to avoid the formation of instability, as reported in the literature. The high numerical precision and efficiency obtained are clearly demonstrated through the agreement of the results obtained using CE-ADI-FDTD and their counterparts obtained using other rigorous approaches reported in the literature.

Evans, Nick, Gebauer, Astrid and Kim, Keun-Young (2011) E, B, mu, T phase structure of the D3/D7 holographic dual. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011, (5) (doi:10.1007/JHEP05(2011)067).

The large N N=4 gauge theory with quenched N=2 quark matter displays chiral symmetry breaking in the presence of a magnetic field. We previously studied the temperature and chemical potential phase structure of this theory in the grand canonical ensemble - here we, in addition, include the effect of an electric field which acts to counter chiral symmetry breaking by dissociating mesons. We compute using the gravity dual based on the D3/probe-D7 brane ystem. The theory displays two transition at one of which chiral symmetry is restored. At the other transition density switches on, the mesons of the theory become unstable and a current forms, making it a conductor insulator transition. Through the temperature, electric field, chemical potential volume (at fixed magnetic field parallel to the electric field) these transitions can coincide or separate at critical points, and be first order or second order. We map out this full phase structure which provides varied computable examples relevant to strongly coupled gauge theories and potentially condensed matter systems.

Gina Rinehart was back in the courts last week, this time with her joint venture partner Rio Tinto firmly in her sights. She wants a 40-year-old agreement made by her father and Rio recognised and is claiming she is owed back-payment of royalties from two mines.
Gina can't seem to keep out of the courts these days, but sadly we think she's on the wrong track.
You see, these earthly court disputes matter little in the grand scheme of things. Where Rinehart should be aiming is not the Pilbara, but somewhere north – the heavens.
Last week, Google's billionaire co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page were joined by filmmaker James Cameron and billionaire Ross Perot Jnr as investors in a new company called Planetary Resources, which is claimed to be the first asteroid mining company in history.
Officially launched at a press conference on April 24, the company said the plan to mine asteroids could potentially add trillions of dollars to the global (or should that be universe's?) economy, providing of course that the rare minerals can be mined and brought back to earth.
It's a long-term bet of course – the company will start sending up spacecrafts to look for suitable asteroids in 2014, with the task of landing on an asteroid and mining it unlikely to be tackled much before 2022.
But make no mistake – this is no novelty project.
"This is smart money investing in one of the largest commercial opportunities ever – going to space to gain resources for the benefit of humanity," co-founder Peter Diamandis said last week.
"The Earth is feeling a resource pinch and ultimately we have the ability to turn that which is scarce into abundance."
The idea of tipping money into something so risky would make most earthly entrepreneurs scoff, but in fact we shouldn't be surprised by the involvement of these billionaires in Planetary Resources.
Just as space has fascinated humans for centuries, so too has it attracted the interest and dollars of several prominent billionaires.
Right now, it's very much a speculative investment – and an expensive one. But these billionaires are betting the stars will eventually align.
Sergey Brin
Google co-founder Sergey Brin is no stranger to space investment. In June 2008, he was announced as the major investor in Space Adventures, which describes itself as "the only company that has provided human space missions to the global marketplace". The company offers orbital spaceflight, suborbital spaceflight, zero gravity flights and has sold two seats on its lunar mission set to take-off in 2015. Estimates suggest about $US4.5 million has been tipped into the venture so far, but with prices for space flights running into the tens of millions of dollars, that sort of investment can be recouped if the customers start flowing.
Paul Allen
Another serial space investor, Microsoft founder Paul Allen has actually had something of a return on his spending – back in 2004, an experimental spacecraft he funded called the SpaceShipOne was awarded the $US10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004 after it manage to get to space and back twice within five days. Allen is now the backer of Stratolaunch Systems, which was established in December 2011 and is building a giant aircraft – it will have six 747 jet engines – to launch medium-sized payloads into space. Allen is also talking big. "We are at the dawn of radical change in the space launch industry," he said in December last year.
Richard Branson
One of the customers of Allen's Stratolaunch Systems will be Richard Branson, who has poured millions to his space tourism venture, Virgin Galactic. The company is probably the most high-profiled player in the space sector, thanks in no small part to its valuation. Abu Dhabi investment fund Aabar Investments pumped in $US280 million for a 32% stake in July 2009 (on a valuation of $US900 million) and then buttered up again in October last year, investing another $110 million to take its stake to 38%. Virgin Galactic now has 500 passengers signed up (actor Ashton Kutcher was the latest) although it's not exactly clear when the company will move on from test flights to the real thing.
Elon Musk
He's hardly a household name, but Elon Musk is one of the most storied entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley thanks to his role as co-founders of PayPal, eBay and electric car maker Tesla. Musk's other passion is SpaceX, founded in 2002 with some of the money from his sale of his PayPal stake. The space travel company is perhaps a little further along than some of its rivals – it is actually scheduled to send an unmanned spacecraft to the International Space Station on May 7. According to Forbes, the company has already been awarded more than $1 billion in contracts from NASA to make 12 unmanned cargo runs to the ISS and Musk says manned flights could occur within three years. However, he's not in the space game for a big financial payoff. "It's a terrible risk adjusted return," he told Forbes. "But it's gotta happen. I think that for me and a lot of people, America is a nation of explorers. I'd like to see that we're expanding the frontier and moving things forward. Space is the final frontier and we have to make progress."
Jeff Bezos
Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos is seen as running one of the more secretive space ventures, which is called Blue Origin. The company started in 2000, but its existence was not known until a few years later, such was Bezos' secrecy. The company won $US3.7 million in funding from NASA in 2009 (the agency was most interested in the company's launch abort technology) and in April last year it received a commitment for a further $US22 million in funding. Blue Origin had a setback in September last year when a test flight went wrong. Bezos, who is worth $18 billion, was philosophical. "Not the outcome any of us wanted, but we're signed up for this to be hard, and the Blue Origin team is doing an outstanding job. We're already working on our next development vehicle," he said at the time.

The Bhuiya, a Scheduled Caste, are mainly landless, but a few possess cultivable land. They depend mostly on daily-wage labor, rickshaw-pulling, brick-laying, etc. Their pantheon includes a large number of deities, such as Dihwal, Gorraiyya and Bir Bhairon. Their literacy rate is 4.3%, 1981 census.
Ministry Obstacles
The Bhuiya community speaks well over 30 languages. Evangelistic and church planting outreaches need to accommodate the linguistic subdivisions within the community.
Outreach Ideas
A very low literacy rate requires taking the Gospel of Christ to these people primarily in oral form, using stories from Scripture, as well as Gospel recordings and films, and other visual/oral means.
Pray for the Followers of Christ
Pray for the handful of Christians among the Bhuiya community, that they will desire to grow in Christ, to become disciples, not merely Christians in name only. Pray they will put on the full armor of God, including the shield of faith.
Pray for the Entire People Group
Pray for the Bhuiya community to be able to care for their families, and for schools to be available to their children. Pray they will make schooling a high priority.

Detailed critique of CL's A manual of elementary geology [3d ed. (1851), used in editing 4th ed. (1852)].
Summary Add
Ought not a short account to be given of the Aralo-Caspian deposits of Murchison? p. 88. Even in shortest account of Glen Roy, notice
ought to be taken of the intermediate shelf, of Tom Brahn which so clearly proves that
the roads or beaches are not at all necessarily conterminous with the old expanses of
water.— p. 113 At Coquimbo
there is another case of (1) a bed with all recent shells in same proportion as on
beach— (2) of a bed with recent shells, but in different proportion (3) of
nearly all extinct species. p. 208. I think the
S. American Tertiaries deserve a paragraph, if merely from area; where else can
you travel uninterruptedly for at least 42
If you intend your Manual to serve as an Introduction to a student going to a Volcanic district & as a guide to him what to observe, the Chapters strike me as very scanty & incomplete: (by incomplete I do not mean to say a word against all that is, which strikes me as excellent, only I think more is wanted.) surely particulars about "fluidity of lavas" inclination of streams—preexisting crystals—details on nature of amygdaloids—inclined strata within craters—obsidian—dolerite—Bombs—vaulted streams—ejected granitic fragments—tuff which has flowed as mud—blown up masses—subsided masses—state of surface of lava—effects of hot lava on underlying matter. &c &c.
In Cleavage discussion, it appears to me to be the gravest omission to leave out all
allusion to Dan. Sharpes facts about change in shape in shells, with M
With respect to foliated rocks, I wish you had read my few pages on subject which I see
you have not; I do not at all suppose that all gneiss has actually flowed: the analogy
from the obsidian layers is not by any means my chief argument.— In fact you
seem at end of discussion willing to grant almost all I want, when you state
that cleavage planes might be converted into the layers of various mineralscom-posing
the metamorphic schists; for then these w
You know that even Sedgwick admits a grain in Plutonic rocks; & such I most
certainly have seen, where it was very difficult to make any clear distinction from
gneiss.— But enough, & too much you will say.— I will only
add that the fact, which I clearly saw in T. del Fuego, that in simple
clay-slate there were slight mineralogical differences in the cleavage
laminæ, seem to me important.
In your capital Mineral vein Chapter, might you not give some facts of the wide diffusion of the metals; some chemists have, I think, detected Copper in sea-water.— As illustrating the adhesion of metal to plutonic & hot volcanic districts; would it not be worth contrasting the entire ignorance of all metals in the inhabitants of the Pacific islands, with the aborigins of S. America.—
P.S. I earnestly beg you to read just 5 pages in my vol. on S. America, p. 162 et Seq. on Foliation, for I am interested on the subject.—

- f1 1384.f1
The period during which Lyell was preparing the fourth edition of his Manual of elementary geology (C. Lyell 1852), which was published in February 1852 but was probably completed around 10 December 1851 (see C. Lyell 1852, preface). CD recorded having read the third edition (C. Lyell 1851a) on 5 April 1851 (see Correspondence vol. 4, Appendix IV, 119: 22a). CD's comments seem to have arrived too close to publication to have been fully incorporated into the fourth edition (see nn. 9, 10, and 12, below). - +
- f2 1384.f2
In this letter CD supplies comments on the third edition of Lyell's Manual of elementary geology (C. Lyell 1851a). The page references are to the third edition. CD's copy is in the Darwin Library–CUL. Lyell wrote comments on the letter, referred to in footnotes that follow. - +
- f3 1384.f3
On the letter Lyell inserted 'x' before 'p. 36', but no change was made in the fourth edition. The question concerned the hardness of strata consolidated under water, and CD's comments in Volcanic islands, pp. 21–2, confirmed Lyell's point. Pozzolana is an artificial stone, hardened in sea water, and formerly used by the Romans for building works. In his copy of C. Lyell 1851a, p. 36, CD underlined 'may' and 'the artificial mixture'. - +
- f4 1384.f4
On the letter Lyell inserted '?' before 'p. 40', but again made no change in the fourth edition. - +
- f5 1384.f5
In his copy of the third edition (C. Lyell 1851a), CD wrote opposite this passage (p. 66): 'Think of the 32,000 ft of strata,—so much denuded'. On the letter, 'x' was inserted before 'p. 66', and a vertical line was drawn through the comment. Lyell changed the text of the fourth edition (C. Lyell 1852, p. 66) to read 'by water in motion, whether of rivers or of the waves and currents of the sea'. - +
- f6 1384.f6
In his copy of the third edition (C. Lyell 1851a, p. 81), CD wrote 'earth quakes'. - +
- f7 1384.f7
In his copy of the third edition (C. Lyell 1851a, p. 81), CD wrote 'shell—sand sand-dunes'. On the letter Lyell bracketed CD's comments on p. 81, wrote '4th Ed ' before the page number, and drew a vertical line through the comment. However, CD's suggestions were not adopted. - +
- f8 1384.f8
In the fourth edition (C. Lyell 1852, p. 85), 'some' is changed to 'many'. - +
- f9 1384.f9
On the letter Lyell bracketed this comment, inserting '4th Ed. or 5th' before 'Ought'. A vertical line was drawn through this and the following comment. A paragraph on the Aralo-Caspian deposits was added to the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855, p. 176). The Aralo-Caspian deposits are described in Murchison, Verneuil, and Keyserling 1845, 1: 297–324. - +
- f10 1384.f10
On the letter Lyell inserted '5th Ed' and a bracket in the left margin. No change was made in the fourth edition. However, a reference to Tombhran and CD's explanation of the non-extension of certain shelves appears in C. Lyell 1855, pp. 88–9. For CD's discussion of the intermediate shelf on Tombhran, see 'Observations on the parallel roads of Glen Roy' (Collected papers 1: 112–13). - +
- f11 1384.f11
Although Lyell marked this comment in the same manner as the preceding one, no mention of the Coquimbo shells was made in either the fourth or the fifth edition. For CD's description of the Coquimbo shells, see South America, pp. 36–7, 128–30. - +
- f12 1384.f12
Lyell made no use of this information, though on the letter he again bracketed the comment and marked it '5th Ed'. CD had discussed the climate in Chile during the Tertiary period in South America, pp. 134–5, and supported Lyell's view that the tropical climate during the Tertiary period in Europe was a local, not global, phenomenon. - +
- f13 1384.f13
No use was made of this comment in either the fourth edition or the fifth, although on the letter it was marked '5th ' by Lyell. - +
- f14 1384.f14
In the fourth edition Lyell changed the wording to 'an animal belonging to the Crustacea' (C. Lyell 1852, p. 228), and in the fifth, to 'a genus of Crustaceans' (C. Lyell 1855, p. 262). - +
- f15 1384.f15
Lyell had written 'insects from the lias … comprise both wood-eating and herb-devouring beetles of the Linnean genera Carabus, Elater, &c.' (C. Lyell 1851a, p. 282). In both the fourth and fifth editions (C. Lyell 1852, 1855) he altered the wording to read: 'Elater, Carabus, &c.' - +
- f16 1384.f16
Although this comment was marked '5th Ed.' by Lyell on the letter, no reference to the views of Alcide Charles Victor Dessalines d'Orbigny or of any other naturalist was incorporated in this section of the fourth edition. - +
- f17 1384.f17
In the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855, p. 358), Lyell added references to Murchison, Verneuil, and Keyserling 1845 and Murchison 1854 but did not add to his description of the Permian rocks in Russia. - +
- f18 1384.f18
The distinction was made in a 'Tabular view of fossiliferous strata' in the third edition (C. Lyell 1851a, p. 361). It was preserved in both the fourth and fifth editions. - +
- f19 1384.f19
In the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855), Lyell placed the table before the chapters describing the particular formations rather than following them. - +
- f20 1384.f20
A list of volcanic rocks with their compositions appears in C. Lyell 1851a, pp. 375–7. Palagonite was included in the list in the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855, p. 478), and a description of palagonite-tuff was added (p. 474). See Correspondence vol. 4, letter to Ernst Dieffenbach, 9 February 1847, in which CD first learned of palagonite. CD refers to Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen. - +
- f21 1384.f21
Lyell did not adopt CD's suggestion that he enlarge the discussions of volcanic rocks to improve it as a guide to students. In the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855), however, he added much new material as a result of observations he made during a visit to Madeira in the winter of 1854 (Ch. XXIX). - +
- f22 1384.f22
Daniel Sharpe's conclusions about the distorted shells (Sharpe 1847) were added to the fourth edition (C. Lyell 1852, p. 471). No mention, however, was made of William Hopkins on the subject of cleavage (Hopkins 1849). In the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855, p. 615), Lyell referred to Sharpe 1852 and 1855. - +
- f23 1384.f23
CD's observations of uniform strike over vast regions of South America were referred to in the fourth edition (C. Lyell 1852, pp. 471–2) and again, at greater length, in the fifth edition (C. Lyell 1855, p. 613). - +
- f24 1384.f24
Lyell added to the fifth edition Sharpe's view (Sharpe 1852, 1855) that cleavage and foliation planes in certain regions 'are parts of great curves or anticlinal axes' (C. Lyell 1855, p. 615). Sharpe 1852, p. 448, made the point that the fan-like structure resulted from combining portions of two arches. No reference to Studer 1851–3 was made, but CD's observations on the same point in South America, p. 155, were added. - +
- f25 1384.f25
It was CD's contention that cleavage in slaty rocks and foliation in metamorphic schists were caused by mechanical processes and were unrelated to the original sedimentary depositions. For CD and Lyell's earlier differences on this question, see Correspondence vol. 4, letter to Charles Lyell, [on or before 20 January 1847], n. 2. See also n. 30, below. - +
- f26 1384.f26
Lyell made no change in his use of the term 'ripple-mark' to describe the undulations in schists. Annotated copies of Aubuisson de Voisins 1814 and 1819 are in the Darwin Library–CUL, but the exact reference has not been located. - +
- f27 1384.f27
CD's reference is to Adam Sedgwick. The description of these mineralogical differences in the clay-slate of Tierra del Fuego is in South America, pp. 155, 163. - +
- f28 1384.f28
The passage concerned CD's observations on the structural changes that take place in the mud-slag from the gold mines of Yaquil, Chile. Lyell's paraphrase (C. Lyell 1851a, p. 472) was taken from the first edition of Journal of researches, pp. 324–5 (not, as Lyell has it, p. 234). In Journal of researches 2d ed., p. 266, CD had deleted the sentence describing fragments in the heap as having a 'well-defined slaty structure; but the laminæ were not inclined at any uniform angle'. Lyell deleted the passage as requested in the fourth edition (C. Lyell 1852, p. 472). - +
- f29 1384.f29
Lyell made no use of these observations. - +
- f30 1384.f30
Lyell, with most other geologists, believed that 'the constituent parts of each layer were separately deposited as sediment, and then metamorphosed' (South America, p. 165). CD's conclusion was that 'planes of cleavage and foliation are intimately connected with the planes of different tension, to which the area was long subjected, after the main fissures or axes of upheavement had been formed, but before the final consolidation of the mass and the total cessation of all molecular movement' (South America, p. 168).

Phase-modulated radio over fiber multimode links |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 11, pp. 11710-11717 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1145 KB)
We present the first experimental demonstration of a phase-modulated MMF link implementing high-frequency digital transmission in a cost-effective solution based on direct detection. Successful subcarrier transmission of QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM data channels for bit rates up to 120 Mb/s through a 5 km MMF link is achieved over the microwave region comprised between 6 and 20 GHz. The overall capacity of the proposed approach can be further increased by properly accommodating more passband channels in the operative frequency range determined by the phase-to-intensity conversion process provided by the dispersive nature of the optical fiber. In this sense, our results show the possibility of achieving an aggregate bit rate per length product of 144 Gb/s·km and confirm, in consequence, the possibility of broadband phase-modulated radio over fiber transmission through MMF links suitable for multichannel SCM signal distribution.

Career highlights and awards
William Michael Stanton (born June 2, 1967) is a former left-handed specialist relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who enjoyed success over his career, most notably with the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees. He has the record for the most holds in MLB history. Until 2010, he was the head coach of the varsity baseball club at Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey, New Jersey.[1]
Early life[edit]
Stanton graduated from Midland High School (Midland, Texas), where he played baseball, basketball and football. He did not however, pitch at all in high school. His first pitching appearance came at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Stanton also attended Alvin Community College.
Baseball career[edit]
Stanton relied throughout his career on a fastball, slider, and curveball.[2] He also developed a two-seam fastball and changeup.[3]
Atlanta Braves (1989–1995)[edit]
Stanton was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and he made his major league debut in 1989 with the Braves, where he spent the first six years of his career. He pitched in 20 games his first year, racking up 27 strikeouts and seven saves. Stanton struggled mightily in his sophomore season, going 0–3 with an ERA of 18.00 in just seven innings (giving up 14 runs).[4] 1991 was his first year as a full-time player, and he put up a 5–5 record in 74 games, earning a spot on the postseason roster. He pitched well, allowing just one run in eight total games, including a victory in the 1991 World Series. In 1992, he went 5–4, (his first season with a record over .500).[4] The Braves once again lost the World Series, this time to the Toronto Blue Jays, as Stanton allowed three hits and two walks during the series. The next year, he fashioned a 4–6 record with a in 63 games, but earned a career-high 27 saves.[4] He pitched one inning of one-hit, one-walk baseball in the 1993 National League Championship Series. In 1994, Stanton fashioned a 3–1 record before the strike ended the season early. He was granted free agency following the season, but re-signed on April 12, 1995. When play resumed in 1995, Stanton pitched in 26 games, garnering a 1–1 record and 5.59 ERA before being traded on July 31 to the Boston Red Sox.
Boston Red Sox (1995–1996)[edit]
Stanton pitched in 22 games with a 1–0 record and 3.00 ERA in 1995. He allowed one hit and struck out four in his only postseason appearance. In 1996, he fashioned a 4–3 record with a 3.83 ERA before being traded to the Texas Rangers.
Texas Rangers (1996)[edit]
Stanton pitched in 23 games while surrendering eight runs. In the 1996 American League Division Series, he pitched in three games, earning one loss and surrendering his only postseason home run.[4] On October 27, 1996, he was granted free agency, and he signed with the Yankees on December 11.
New York Yankees (1997–2002)[edit]
Stanton pitched for the New York Yankees for seven seasons. During that span, Stanton was a large part of the Yankees World Series teams, proving himself in big roles out of the bullpen. He garnered a 6–1 record in 1997, and appeared in 64 games.[4] In the 1997 American League Division Series, he allowed one hit in one inning while striking out three.[4] In 1998, Stanton went 4–1 and collected six saves during the Yankees' 114-win season. After not pitching in the Division Series, he returned during the Championship Series and allowed two hits and one walk while striking out four over three games.[4] In the 1998 World Series, Stanton allowed three hits and two earned runs.[4] Despite his lackluster performance, he earned a World Series ring as the Yankees swept the Padres four games to none. In 1999, he was 2–2 in 73 games, and did not pitch in the Division Series. In the Championship Series, he allowed one hit in 1/3 of an inning. However, he rebounded in the 1999 World Series, striking out the only batter he faced.[4] On November 5, he was granted free agency, but re-signed with the Yankees on November 29.[4] In 2000, he was 2–3 with a 4.10 ERA over 69 games. He pitched in four innings of one-hit ball in the Division Series and did not pitch in the Championship Series.[4] In the 2000 World Series, he earned two wins in four games. In 2001, he was 9–4 with a 2.58 ERA and was selected to the 2001 All-Star team. He pitched in all three games of the 2001 American League Division Series and in two games of the 2001 American League Championship Series. He pitched in five games of the 2001 World Series. His contributions in the postseason during this three-year period helped him post the lowest ERA in World Series history among relief pitchers. In 2002 he was 7–1 with a 3.00 ERA, and pitched in three games in the 2002 American League Division Series allowing three runs.[4] He was released on October 30.
New York Mets (2003–2004)[edit]
Stanton was a career-worst 2–7 with a 4.57 ERA with the Mets in 2003. He posted a 2–6 record in 2004 despite rebounding back with a 3.16 ERA.[4] He was traded on December 4 for Felix Heredia. August 3, 2004, Stanton struck out four batters in one inning. He struck out Gary Bennett, Scott Podsednik (who reached base on an uncaught third strike), Trent Durrington and Wes Helms.
Return to the Yankees (2005)[edit]
Stanton pitched in 28 games with the Yankees in 2005 with a 7.07 ERA. He was released on July 1.
Later career[edit]
Stanton was 2–1 with the Washington Nationals, finishing six games. On September 29, he was traded to the Boston Red Sox, where he pitched one inning of one-hit ball. He was released by the Red Sox on October 12.[4]
He re-signed with Washington on December 24 and was 3–5 with a 4.47 ERA in 56 games. On July 28, 2006 he was traded to the San Francisco Giants. He was 4–2 with the Giants over 26 games and was released on October 30. On November 20, 2006 he signed with the Cincinnati Reds.
With the Reds, he was 1–3 with a 5.93 ERA in 69 games. Despite his high salary due in 2008, the Reds cut Stanton from the team, going instead with veteran lefty Kent Mercker. The Reds would eat $3.5 million in salary to make the cut, including the 2008 salary and the 2009 option.[5] After being cut by the Reds, Stanton signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Chicago Cubs on January 20, 2009. He did not make the team and was released on March 30.[6]
In his major league career, Stanton would post a 68–63 record with a 3.92 ERA and 84 saves in 1178 games pitched which ranks him second all-time in appearances behind Jesse Orosco (1252).
Despite being a set-up man, Stanton chose to come out of the bullpen to an entrance song like many Major League closers do. Stanton usually entered to Aldo Nova's "Fantasy". With the New York Mets however, he came in to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" during save situations as a tribute to Mariano Rivera, whom he set up for in his Yankees years.[7]
Mike Stanton is the all time holds leader, with 266. The hold is similar to the save, although it is not considered an official statistic. Arthur Rhodes is second on the list, with more than 40 fewer holds.
Mitchell Report[edit]
Stanton was mentioned in the Mitchell Report for purchasing Human Growth Hormone, implicated by Kirk Radomski.[8] Stanton has flatly denied any wrongdoing or any connection to any type of performance enhancing drugs in his baseball career. Stanton's alleged HGH use was also mentioned in testimony by Brian McNamee during the Roger Clemens trial.[9]

My SIL is a frequent cruiser, 2-3 times a year (never on DCL yet) and has a cruise companion, but due to age and health that may be coming to an end. I think in the future, she may be interested in cruising with us. I have said I would only agree to this if she had her own separate cabin. I just took a look at the current rates for our upcoming cruise. Adult fare in our 8C category is 2100. That would mean she would have to pay 4200 to get a cabin on her own, based on double occupancy. (actually more, because she usually only cruises with a balcony) We also cruise with our dd (under 18) and her fare right now for child/3rd person is 1600. If the time ever comes that SIL wants to cruise with us, I would propose the following to her: She shares a cabin with our dd (her niece) and although she has to pay for two full fares (still 4200 in this example), we would refund her the 1600 which is the portion we would pay for our dd anyway. My husband says she won't understand this and will think that we should pay 2100 for our dd to share 1/2 the cabin, as the 2nd passenger. But the point is, we don't mind sharing with our dd at all, so why would we pay more? My option at least allows her to recoup 1600 of her double occupancy fare, leaving her paying 2100 for herself and 500 for our dd, but at least she's not paying 4200 double occupancy on her own. Or she can totally cruise alone in her own cabin and pay 4200. And I would still only be willing to pay whatever our cabin fare was going to be for our dd, no matter what type of cabin my SIL wanted, ie: balcony. Anyone else run into issues when trying to cruise with an extra "single"? Of course, I wouldn't even suggest putting my dd with her if SIL brought along some other friend to share her cabin/costs.
So it would cost her $2,600 for the cruise as opposed to $4,200. Just tell her bottom line is either $4,200 if she books herself alone in the cabin or $2,600 if "booked on paper" with your DD in that room (and with your reimbursement). Also explain that your DD would not really be sleeping there but booking it that way can save her money. Pretty easy to explain. Don't even try to explain that two full fares would be $2,100...don't even bring that number up. MJ
Another way to approach this would be to not approach it. It is very reasonable for you and your husband and daughter to have your own cabin. So you could just leave it at that. If your SIL approaches you about coming along on her own, you can say she is welcome to do so, but you really don't wish to share a cabin as that would interrupt your family time / personal space. If she inquires about your daughter joining her, you then get the upper hand. You have leverage to say that she only costs you $1600 in your cabin, so it is hard to imagine spending another $500 on her. Letting your SIL work things out on her own will probably work best.
We had this happen with my mom who travels with us. I broke it out on paper for her to see and make her decision. She chose to have dd13 in the room with her and we are paying her back the 3rd person rate dd would have had in our room.
yes, that is good advice. Also, she may actually like to have my dd stay with her for some company, although as my dd gets older and wants to do more of the "teen" things, it may be best that she's with us. My SIL is older, like a grandma to my dd.
So if you did book your daughter, on paper only, in the second room, will GS give your daughter a KTTW card for your room? I've heard of people who qualify for the Florida discount booking two rooms, DH and non-Floridian friend booking in one and DW and spouse of non-Floridian friend in the other. Then they each actually stay with their spouse and both cabins get the Florida rate. I've been curious if they go to GS and they give them KTTW cards for the actual room they are staying in. We don't live, nor travel with Floridians, just wondered.
Yes, you can get a "spare" key to the other cabin. You have to go down to guest services. The "spare" key will not have any charging privileges on it. Obviously, for security reasons GS will only hand over the spare key to someone actually booked in the room so the mom would have to get the spare key and not the DD. MJ
There is no problem with the spare key issue--GS will issue one. In addition, regardless of who is booked where, they will "re-key" a KTTW to reflect where the person is actually sleeping if that is an issue (say DD was booked in aunt's room but actually sleeping in Mom and Dad's cabin). I understand your logic totally in the booking/fees issue. I'd put it to her in final figure terms--it will cost you $4200 if you book on your own. It will cost $2600 if we refund you our daughter's fare. You decide. The only other sensible option is to just let her do her own booking. It isn't right for you to have to pay more for your daughter because her aunt wants a fancier cabin or because doing so will save aunt money. You should pay third person fare for your DD regardless of where she is ultimately booked/sleeps. After all, if aunt isn't going, you'd be paying the third person fare for DD.

A 9-year-old girl who wanted to help the family of a fallen Mendota Heights police officer has raised more than $2,200 by setting up a lemonade stand.
A KSTP-TV report (http://bit.ly/1mkw0rm ) says Fil Sans of Inver Grove Heights wanted to raise $2,231. That's because police Officer Scott Patrick wore badge No. 2231.
Fil began selling lemonade and bracelets Sunday. She says she did it because she wanted to help out.
She met her goal by Tuesday, at which point she deposited the money in the Patrick family's memorial account at Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union.
Patrick was fatally shot during a traffic stop in West St. Paul last week. Officials expect 3,000 to 5,000 mourners to attend his funeral Wednesday.


text: JOSÉ de MEIRELLES Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Brasserie Les Halles, Le Marais and Le Marais 2, NYC Ever since he was a small boy, growing up in Porto, Portugal, José de Meirelles has loved to cook. Inspired by his parents - who were great cooks themselves and placed much importance on meals, eating well and family life - young José relished and actually looked forward to his kitchen chores. He grew up to attend business school and start a career as a banker in Portugal, yet food and cooking always remained a dominant theme and passion in his life. In 1983, José left Portugal for the United States, and began cooking professionally in this country as a way to obtain his green card. After a few years of working his way through New York kitchens, José decided to study at the French Culinary Institute for his culinary arts degree. After graduating in 1987, he worked at La Réserve where he learned the important skills of organization and running a restaurant efficiently. Moving on to Maxim's, José worked with Jean-Michel Diot, whom José credits with teaching him the finer points of seasoning. Next, José took the position of sous chef at the popular Park Bistro, owned by Philippe Lajaunie. It was during this time working together at Park Bistro, that Philippe and José came up with the idea of creating a classic French brasserie. Many nights after work, they would crave a good classic "steak frites," and the idea for Les Halles was born. Opened in 1990, Brasserie Les Halles was fully embraced by New Yorkers hungry for classic brasserie fare in a classic setting. In his role as Executive Chef of Les Halles, José has amassed an amazing knowledge of how to butcher, season, and cook all variety and cuts of meat. José describes his cooking style as bold, honest and very much ingredient-driven. He explains, "When making simple classic dishes, you really must have the very best of ingredients - there's nothing to hide behind. I am always on the look out for what's best and in season, and then I need not fuss with it much - nature has done that for me." When appropriate, José likes to use strong seasonings like cumin, and often brings Portuguese accents to his cooking. He doesn't believe in putting too many ingredients in one dish or on one plate, however, choosing to keep flavors true and clean, and not risk overwhelming the palate. And while he reads about food and looking to see what's next, some of his very favorite dishes to prepare are simply roasted game or the classic pot au feu. In May 1995, José and Philippe Lajaunie opened a second French brasserie in New York City, in the same vein as Les Halles, but with one definitive twist. Located in the Times Square area, Le Marais is the city's only kosher French brasserie. Whether it's cooking a classic steak au poivre or coming up with the numerous specials served daily at Les Halles, Chef José de Meirelles' passion for his craft and attention to quality and technique are the winning combination for everything he creates.

Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) Organizes Artists Sign-On Letter as
Part of Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) HIV Prevention
Advocacy Coalition
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, 39 celebrity activists and Artists for a New South Africa issued a letter to members of Congress, urging them to improve the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). PEPFAR currently restricts 1/3 of U.S. global HIV prevention funds to abstinence-until-marriage programs that are proven ineffective and fail to address the specific risk factors unique to women and girls.
"Already 20 million members of our human family have died of AIDS," the artists stated. "By empowering the most vulnerable populations with scientifically-based prevention methods, millions of lives can be saved." (Full letter posted at http://www.pepfarwatch.org.)
The diverse list of celebrity signers includes actors Chris Rock, Alfre Woodard, Gillian Anderson, Ed Harris & Amy Madigan, Dule Hill, Mary Steenburgen & Ted Danson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Noah Gray-Cabey, Alexandra Paul, Jurnee Smollett, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, musicians Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Peter Yarrow, among others.
The bipartisan Protection Against Transmission of HIV for Women and Youth (PATHWAY) Act [H.R. 1713] in the House and the Senate's HIV Prevention Act [S. 1553] would strike the abstinence-until marriage spending requirement on PEPFAR. Additionally, the PATHWAY Act, introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, requires the President to develop a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy to address the vulnerabilities of women and girls.
"There is no reason why someone should be more vulnerable to AIDS
because she is a woman, but the fact remains that women and girls in
developing countries are bearing the brunt of the global HIV/AIDS
pandemic," said Congresswoman Lee. "Our prevention

Two Manhattan residents have been arrested in connection with an apartment fire that killed a Kansas State University researcher earlier this week.
The Riley County Police Department said 20-year-old Patrick Martin Scahill and 19-year-old Virginia Amanda Griese were arrested Friday on suspicion of felony murder and aggravated arson. Both were being held on $1 million bond.
Investigators did not say how they tied the suspects to Wednesday night's fire at a 12-unit apartment building near the Kansas State campus.
The only injury was to 34-year-old Vasanta Lakshmi Pallem, a postdoctoral researcher in chemical engineering. She was found in her apartment and died later of smoke inhalation.
Phone numbers for Scahill and Griese could not be found.
Authorities have not said where or how the fire started, as the investigation continues.

What is the best way to roast peanutsPosted by lalavender how long and at what oven temperature to roast peanuts? |
First, make sure your peanuts are organic. This is crucial. If they are not organic they are grown with high amounts of toxic pesticides and likely contaminated with a toxic fungus called a mycotoxin.
Secondly, nuts are best for you if they are RAW. Why? Well, the delicate fatty acids in the nuts will go rancid under heat. This makes them an unhealthy snack. Rancid fats are bad for you and really tough on your liver and they cause free radicals in your body. The very things that causes disease.
So, if you WANT to roast your organic peanuts, it is important to "low roast" them. That means to roast at a very LOW temperature. Just put them on a cookie sheet in an oven set at about 120 degrees. Just leave them in for about 10-15 minutes. This will warm them up, and give them the sense of being roasted.
be well & thrive!
