Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
Tuck rule gone, helmet rule approved
Updated: March 20, 2013, 3:14 PM ET
By John Clayton and Adam Schefter | ESPN.com
PHOENIX -- NFL owners went into a speed voting mode before concluding their winter meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday, voting to eliminate the tuck rule, penalize crown of the helmet hits by players who are outside of the tackle box or at least three yards downfield and change the replay challenge rule so that a bad coaches' challenge doesn't prevent officials from reviewing the play.
The tuck rule change had only one dissenting vote, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The New England Patriots and Washington Redskins abstained, but the remaining 29 teams, including the Oakland Raiders, voted to end the rule, a call that cost the Raiders a chance to go to the Super Bowl in 2001.
Tom Brady was the famous beneficiary of the rule in that 2001 playoff game between the Patriots and the Raiders. A ball that appeared to be a Brady fumble was ruled an incomplete pass, and the Patriots went on to win the game.
Now, if a quarterback starts to bring the football back toward his body while trying to throw, it will be ruled a fumble instead of an incomplete pass.
"We didn't think it was necessary to make that change," Steelers president Art Rooney said. "We were happy with the way it's been called."
The Raiders celebrated the tuck rule's demise with a three-word tweet: "Adios, Tuck Rule."
The most debate came with the crown of the helmet hits rule, which will affect running backs the most. As of Tuesday, the competition committee felt as though it was only one vote away from passing. After further discussion, the vote was 31-1 with the Cincinnati Bengals voting against.
It will now be a 15-yard penalty if a player who is more than three yards downfield or outside of the tackle box delivers a blow with the crown of his helmet. If the offensive and defensive player each lowers his head and uses the crown of the helmet to make contact, each will be penalized.
"It'll certainly make our runners aware of what we expect relative to use of the helmet," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "One of the questions I ask a lot is who gains from this, offense or defense? And it's a toss-up as to which side of the ball has the advantage on this rule, if any. The main thing is it's pro-health and safety, and that's the big thing."
The owners discussed simply using fines on ball carriers to eliminate the tactic but instead voted to make the rule change.
"Jim Brown never lowered his head," Rooney said with a smile. "It can be done."
Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte, who called rule proposal "absurd" Sunday on Twitter, reacted to the rule's adoption with similar disdain in a series of tweets Wednesday.
"Wow so they really passed that rule...last time I checked football was a contact sport. Calling bank now to set up my lowering the boom fund," he wrote.
He followed that up with: "Next year they'll probably be a no jumping over defenders rule... #loweringtheboomfund" and "Guess I'll get my fine money ready."
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher, co-chairman of the league's competition committee, said the rule doesn't prohibit a runner from using his facemask or hairline part of his helmet.
Commissioner Roger Goodell was eager to get the helmet rule approved, and there was talk the vote would be tabled until May if the rule change didn't have enough support.
But after watching videos of the play that clearly showed the differences in legal and illegal moves by ball carriers, the owners voted yes -- and then applauded the decision, something Fisher said is "rare."
"We had discussions with the players association and the players themselves, the coaches' subcommittee," Fisher said. "A lot of people talked to us about this rule and how to roll it out in our game."
Owners easily passed a change in the replay challenge rule that fixes a problem when coaches challenge a play that would be automatically reviewed in the replay booth. Under the new rule, a coach who challenges such a play is charged a timeout when he throws a challenge flag. If the play is overturned, the coach gets back the challenge. It remains a 15-yard penalty if a coach challenges a booth reviewable play.
Under the previous rule, if a coach challenged a reviewable play, there would be a 15-yard penalty and no review.
The only proposal that was tabled was whether to open the regular season as early as Wednesday. The NFL likes to open the regular season on the Thursday before the regular Sunday opener, and it likes to have the Super Bowl winner have a home game on that night.
The Baltimore Orioles have a home game Thursday, Sept. 5, and Major League Baseball appears to be unwilling to alter the time to a day game to allow the Baltimore Ravens to play that night.
On Tuesday, the NFL voted to prohibit teams from loading more than six defenders on one side of the snapper on extra points and field goals along with giving a 15-yard penalty if a blocker does a peel-back block inside the tackle box. The peel-back rule applies mostly to screen passes and rollouts.

Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
Completely reasonable changes imo.
The tuck rule sucked and needed to go.
As for the helmet - isn't a weapon. It's to protect players from the concussions that they want to sue the NFL for. If the defense can't lead with the helmet then the offense shouldn't be allowed to either. Players say the NFL doesn't care about safety then gripe about rules changes. Use your shoulders like you're supposed to - like they've been doing since the game was created.
-03-21-2013 #7
Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
The owners obviously agree with you, but getting players to stop doing what they have instinctively done to protect themselves from day one is going to be a long, difficult process. Where the shoulders go, the head goes. The officials are going to have a tough time as well trying to differentiate between using the "crown of the helmet", which is illegal, and using the "hairline of the helmet" (just below the crown) which is legal.
Like I said earlier, IMO it's going to be a mess.
-03-21-2013 #8
Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
It will certainly be a mess until they establish some consistency in how they call the penalty. Seems like the problem is players are being taught to square their shoulders and charge ahead instead of turning their body to deliver a shot with their shoulder.
As far as differentiating between the crown and hairline I think we're going to see flags being thrown if the ball carriers face mask is parallel to the ground when contact is made. If they're looking forward the intent probably isn't to scramble someone's brain.

Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
pain is a very important learning tool for the body, if an action causes pain, the body will try not to do that again
if this feeling is blocked, the body won't learn not to do it, which is where the spear heading is coming from, and bad tackling in general
you CAN'T stop the brain rattling around in the head from tackles in the nfl
not to mention that these helmets and pads cause more force to be applied anyway as opposed to something like rugby
nfl career: 3 years average
rugby: 13ish or so
australian football: about 18-20 years
the nfl uses a ton of pads, the other two do not, some use a small helmet, or don't at all and learn to tackle correctly and are able to take a hit naturally
if you tried spearing someone with your head without a helmet...well...don't know if you'd get a second shot
the last couple years of the leather helmets were perfect, guys playing during that transition phase will tell you that the plastic helmets sucked, air doesn't do crap either
point is, better tackling will come by a lesser amount of pads, and don't pull the "the NFL is too brutal man" argument
the pads don't really protect, they really don't

Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
Therein lies the rub. "Instinctively". I couldn't agree more. Design better helmets, but the game is what it is - violent. Players accept that there is the possibility of injury from highschool all the way through. Hopefully this "new rule" goes the way of the "tuck" rule ..

Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
Actually, this rule has been used several times. In most that I have seen, they have been pretty legitimate rulings. Capt Kurt and the RAMS actually benefitted from it once, and I believe both Bulger and Bradford have also. The only one I saw that was blantantly incorrect was the cheatriots and Raiders, and it is probably why there is so much outrage against this ruling.

Re: Tuck Rule Gone, Helmet Rule Approved
also considering the price of leather i'm sure they'd have some cheaper alternative,
gosh dang it I came on here to say something else but i forgot :/
edit: it's not all what i wanted to say but i do remember that i wanted to add that the short time i played football...i could never get used to the rattling of the pads and helmets...yet i can play rugby all dayLast edited by citr92; -03-24-2013 at 02:15 PM.

Classic Zucchini Bread
Hurry, before the summer zucchini is gone forever! (Or at least until it's gone until next summer) >> Make some Classic Zucchini Bread.
True story: When I was little, my Mom made zucchini bread and zucchini cake ALL THE TIME. And I hated it… with a passion. There was something about it… like it wasn't sweet enough or it didn't have great flavor- or perhaps she just didn't have good recipes (sorry Mom). Everyone else seemed to like it though, so maybe it was just me. Maybe I was frightened by the prospect of including a green vegetable in a CAKE, and I just couldn't get past it. I guess I'm over it, because I actually LIKE zucchini cake and zucchini bread now! The zucchini just adds a nice, moist element to the bread I made for you today. The flavor of zucchini itself is not present (thank goodness!) Because truly, I don't normally want vegetables in my cake.
I'm happy to be on board with zucchini bread now. My Mom is gluten-free, so I made a special loaf for her using Cup 4 Cup gluten-free flour (subbed in this recipe for the all-purpose flour). It turned out perfect, and she loved it. By the way, that brand of flour- the Cup 4 Cup is my go-to flour blend when I'm adapting something to be gluten-free. I've had great results with it being the one that makes baked goods taste most like normal. I'm happy to admit that I loved this bread too I made a regular version for the rest of my family, and that one turned out perfect as well. Next up: I'm going to be on the hunt for a mega-delicious zucchini CAKE recipe to share with you! Yield: 2 loaves Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 45 min 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 5x8-inch loaf pans with nonstick spray 2. Sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl. 3. In separate bowl, beat liquids and zucchini together. Stir in dry ingredients and combine until wet. Mixture will be thin. Divide the batter between the loaf pans. 4. Bake 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. *If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just be sure to sub GF flour for the all-purpose. SOURCE: RecipeGirl.com

Gorgeous loaf, Lori! Pure perfection! Pinned!
Love me some Zucchini bread! Looks scrumptious Lori
This recipe looks so good and sometimes classics are the best — like a little black dress. When you talked about your mom it reminded me of my mamma. I used to complain when she made some of the Italian traditional dishes. Boy could I ever kick myself. I really miss her cooking. The zucchini bread really looks scrumptious and moist. Thank you for reminding me about the classics.
There isn't much better than a classic zucchini bread! This looks perfect! Pinned!
I've never made zucchini bread before but I'd like to try it! Are you peeling the zucchini before grating??
YUM! Definitely a family fave!
How are you fairing there so near to the fires? My hubs home town is evacuating – been thinking of you there.
Classic zucchini bread is the best! I love this recipe!
Love zucchini bread – one of my favourites!
I like green veggies in my bread, but I'm not normal, so there's that. Glad to hear you're on board with zucchini bread now. This is a lovely recipe.
So easy, I love this recipe, Lori. Any time you don't have to peel, it makes it so much easier!
I was just looking for a zucchini bread recipe! Thank you!

Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan has admitted to "accidentally" borrowing material for her first novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life, after the Crimson identified more than a few passages in Opal that mirrored Megan McCafferty's work in Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings. In a statement issued by her publisher Little, Brown, Viswanathan admitted that she had read Megan McCafferty's books in high school and acknowledged the similarities:
While the central stories of my book and hers are completely different, I wasn't aware of how much I may have internalized Ms. McCafferty's words. I am a huge fan of her work and can honestly say that any phrasing similarities between her works and mine were completely unintentional and unconscious. My publisher and I plan to revise my novel for future printings to eliminate any inappropriate similarities.
I sincerely apologize to Megan McCafferty and to any who feel they have been misled by these unintentional errors on my part.

Nano imprinting with Bulk Metallic Glass enables to directly replicate smallest features with high aspect ratio. Our current record is 13 nm and 50 for feature diamater and aspect ratio, respectively.
MIT Technology Review reports that researchers at Yale University have demonstrated that these nanoimprint molds can be created from more durable materials. This advance can broaden the commercially viability of nanoimprint lithography. They describe current work at 13 nanometer resolution using metallic glasses but are progressing to 1 to 2 nanometers using carbon nanotubes. Achieving 1 nanometer resolution would be one thousand times better than the 32 nanometer resolution lithography that Intel is commercializing now. Below details are presented from the website of the Yale research group.
In nanoimprint lithography, a mold made of a hard material such as metal or silicon is pressed into a softer material, often molten silicon itself or a polymer. The molds can then be reused. But both metals and silicon have limitations as mold materials. Silicon is brittle, and molds made of the material fail after about a hundred uses, says Schroers. Metal molds are more resilient but are grainy, and their features can't be any smaller than the grains in the metal itself--about 10 micrometers.
"In many ways, metallic glasses are an ideal material for nanoimprint lithography," says John Rogers, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who was not involved in the work. "They're extremely strong, and they can be molded at extremely high resolution." Ordinary metals are crystalline. But bulk metallic glasses, which are created by cooling liquid metals very rapidly to prevent crystallization, lack such structure. Like silicon molds, they can be patterned very finely.
Schroers says that metallic-glass molds can be used millions of times to pattern materials, including polymers like those used to make DVDs. The Yale group has used the molds to create three-dimensional microparts such as gears and tweezers, as well as much finer structures. This week in the journal Nature, Schroers's group describes making molds with features as small as 13 nanometers.
"Theoretically, the size limit is the size of a single atom," says Schroers of the metallic-glass molds. Indeed, the Yale researchers hope to make molds that can form even finer structures by controlling the surface chemistry of the metallic glasses. But the main limitation on the molds is the structure of the metal and silicon templates used to make them. In the hope of further increasing the molds' resolution, Schroers is now developing templates made of nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes only one to two nanometers in diameter.
Jan Schroers lab site describes the nanoimprint work.
In February 2009, Nature will publish an article titled Nanomoulding using thermoplastic forming with bulk metallic glass. Golden Kumar , Hong Tang, and Jan Schroers developed a method to directly imprint features as small as 13 nm onto bulk metallic glass (BMG). We utilized thermoplastic forming of BMG and a favorable wetting behavior. This technique enables a reliable and economic process for nanoimprint lithography (NIL). Furthermore, as oppose to any other material/technology solution it provides a solution for both mold (template) and imprint material which makes it particularly interesting for high density data storage.
Wetting dominates the filling characteristics for mold diameters below 100 nm. For best control over the imprinting process a small < 100 MPa forming pressure requirement is ideal. Utilizing favorable wetting smallest features can be directly imprinted into BMGs as small as 13 nm with an aspect ratio of up to 50.
Schematic and experimental illustration of a processing technique based on the unique softening behaviour of BMG. First, BMG1 is embossed on a mold fabricated by conventional techniques. The mold can be any suitable material such as Ni, Si or alumina. The mold and BMG1 are separated, leaving a negative pattern of the mold imprinted on BMG1. Figure 4b shows an example of pattern transfer on Pt-BMG after embossing on the Ni mold. The patterned BMG1 can be used as a mold to imprint on a lower Tg metallic glass, BMG2. This step is demonstrated by using patterned Pt-BMG to imprint on Au-BMG. Alternatively, the crystallized BMG1 pattern can even be used as a mold for another amorphous sample of BMG1
The nature abstract on nanomoulding
Nanomoulding with amorphous metals
Nanoimprinting promises low-cost fabrication of micro- and nano-devices by embossing features from a hard mould onto thermoplastic materials, typically polymers with low glass transition temperature. The success and proliferation of such methods critically rely on the manufacturing of robust and durable master moulds. Silicon-based moulds are brittle and have limited longevity. Metal moulds are stronger than semiconductors, but patterning of metals on the nanometre scale is limited by their finite grain size. Amorphous metals (metallic glasses) exhibit superior mechanical properties and are intrinsically free from grain size limitations. Here we demonstrate direct nanopatterning of metallic glasses by hot embossing, generating feature sizes as small as 13 nm. After subsequently crystallizing the as-formed metallic glass mould, we show that another amorphous sample of the same alloy can be formed on the crystallized mould. In addition, metallic glass replicas can also be used as moulds for polymers or other metallic glasses with lower softening temperatures. Using this 'spawning' process, we can massively replicate patterned surfaces through direct moulding without using conventional lithography. We anticipate that our findings will catalyse the development of micro- and nanoscale metallic glass applications that capitalize on the outstanding mechanical properties, microstructural homogeneity and isotropy, and ease of thermoplastic forming exhibited by these materials

Stephen Wilkes, Coney Island, Day To Night, 2011
Whether you're seeking that perfect print by Diane Arbus (you know the one, the identical twin girls in pinafores) or something new from a contemporary photographer, such as a multimedia wall relief made of LED lights by Jim Campbell, you'll likely find what you're looking for at the annual photography fair organized by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers, better known as AIPAD. Now in its 32nd year, AIPAD will be held at the Park Avenue Armory from March 29 through April 1, with offerings ranging from rare 19th-century material to the latest works by today's digital artists.
"AIPAD has been evolving as the market for photography has evolved," says its president, Stephen Bulger, a photo dealer from Toronto, noting the show's recent inclusion of contemporary art galleries in addition to traditional photography dealers. This year, for the first time, renowned contemporary art dealer David Zwirner will participate in the fair, with a booth devoted to the work of Philip-Lorca diCorcia, whose prints are priced at up to $45,000. "Photography can be a gateway to collecting on a larger scale," says Zwirner's director of sales, Justine Durrett, who underscores that the gallery represents many artists working in photo-based media including Gordon Matta-Clark, Stan Douglas, Thomas Ruff, and Christopher Williams.
That gallerists like Zwirner are coming to AIPAD shows the genre's dynamism as well as its inconsistencies. For most of the 20th century, photography was considered the stepchild of fine art, largely because multiples were regarded as less significant than unique paintings and sculptures. That changed in the 1980s, when artists such as Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince made works in photo-based mediums in much smaller editions at much higher prices. Andreas Gursky, for example, produced mural-size prints, including a rather famous photograph of Jackson Pollock's One: Number 31 (1950). These works were eye-catching and highly conceptual, not at all like pictures from Life Magazine or the silver-gelatin prints found in photo galleries, no matter how precious or rare the image.
With almost every contemporary art gallery now representing one or more photo-based artists—Jeff Wall at Marian Goodman, Nan Goldin at Matthew Marks—art photography has seen a great uptick in prices in recent years. But some of the strongest images of the 20th century, by such photographers as Ansel Adams, Walker Evans, or Arbus, frequently sell for a quarter of the price of a Prince or Sherman. Many other well-known photographers— Edward Steichen, Edward Weston, Helen Levitt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Margaret Bourke-White—are considered masters of the medium, but since they're not shown at art galleries, their works can be had for well under $100,000. A lot of this makes no sense, but for the collector it provides pockets of opportunity for acquiring underpriced works presented by the traditional photo galleries and dealers you'll find at AIPAD.
For example, the top price point at AIPAD this year will be at the booth of Hans P. Kraus Jr., who specializes in rare 19th-century prints by photography's Old Masters such as William Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton, and Frederick Evans. He will be bringing three historic photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron, starting at $75,000, who photographed such notables as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Portraiture is the theme of many booths at AIPAD this year, with subjects ranging from celebrities to unknown protestors. Unsurprisingly, as fame has become such a central feature of American culture, the interest in celebrity portraiture has risen, with collectors gravitating to icons of the past. At Bonni Benrubi's booth, there will be intimate pictures of rock stars from the 1960s and '70s—including a rare image of John Lennon and Paul McCartney at the sound board at Apple Records, taken by Linda McCartney, priced at $4,500. "There's a color print of John Lennon against a pink background that no one had seen, not even Yoko," says Benrubi. (Yoko Ono has since purchased the print from the dealer.) Bert Stern's infamous images of Marilyn Monroe at her last sitting in 1962 will be available at Staley-Wise Gallery. Hollywood stars will be transformed into monsters and antiheros by contemporary photographer Alex Prager at Yancey Richardson's booth. Prager, a kind of art star of her own making, was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's "New Photography 2010" exhibition, and these portraits were first created for The New York Times Magazine this winter.
"A lot of collecting photography is about the image, as opposed to the artist," says Chelsea dealer Steven Kasher, who specializes in press photos, vernacular photography, and new discoveries from the 1960s. He will be wrapping his booth with new portraits of Occupy Wall Street protestors by Accra Shepp. (Printed digitally in unlimited editions, they cost only $60 each.) "We have a lot of collectors who don't necessarily care that much if a picture is by one of the masters of the medium. They care that it is a great image, a marvelous example of the art of photography."
But fellow New York dealer Yossi Milo, who will also be showing timely work— pictures of garbage pickers in Ghana by Pieter Hugo, priced at $12,000 to $20,000— notes that even photojournalists can have a pedigree worth paying attention to. Hugo's work has been bought by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Cincinnati Museum of Art, among others, and was rated one of the top shows of 2010 by Vince Aletti, photo critic at The New Yorker.
"AIPAD is definitely worth two or three visits, not one drive-through," says William Hunt, a top collector in the field, along with Miami's Marty Margolis and rock star Elton John. "It's a great way to test out a variety of dealers, who all bring their best material." When asked if photo dealers are nicer than art dealers, he laughs but admits, "Yes. They are less cool, meaning less frosty." The AIPAD Photography Show takes place March 29–April 1 at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave.

Self-efficacy beliefs of at-risk students in Malaysian Secondary Schools.Elias, Habibah and Mahyuddin, Rahil and Noordin, Nooreen and Abdullah, Maria Chong and Roslan, Samsilah (2009) Self-efficacy beliefs of at-risk students in Malaysian Secondary Schools. The International Journal of Learning, 16 (4). pp. 201-210. ISSN 1447-9494 Full text not available from this repository. AbstractSelf-efficacy beliefs determine how people feel, think, motivate themselves and behave. A strong sense of efficacy enhances human accomplishment and personal well being in many ways. Selfefficacy is defined as people's beliefs about their capabilities to produce designated levels of performance which have influence over events that affect their lives (Bandura, 1994). A study was conducted on 688 Form Four students from 25 at risk schools located in 5 zones in Malaysia, to examine their self-efficacy beliefs in learning mathematics and English Language. Findings showed that the at risk students have low self-efficacy in Mathematics and English Language. Positive and significant correlations were found between self-efficacy in mathematics and English with achievemnet in the Lower Secondary Examination. Female students were found to have higher self-efficacy beliefs in English Language and mathematics compared to males. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of learning opportunities for at risk students.

The May 2012 edition of Muscle & Fitness magazine has a superpowered coverboy: the Hulk.
The coverline blares "Get huge like the Hulk with our real-life routine!"
Speakeasy has some news for weightlifters and fitness enthusiasts: lift all you want, you won't get a strong as the Hulk.
You want to know why? Because the Hulk is a comic book character.
We get the fact that "The Avengers" movie is coming out and everyone's leaping on the promotional bandwagon. We just saw the finished movie a couple hours ago. We'll probably see it again with our kids. We've seen every Hulk movie ever made and have embarrassingly strong opinions on the whole debate over whether Mark Ruffalo or Edward Norton was really the best actor for the part. That's just the way we roll.
But when it comes to fanboy frenzy, we have to draw the line somewhere. And we're drawing it at articles that promise to help you to "get huge like the Hulk," who, 1) is the result of a gamma radiation experiment gone wrong and 2) is given to roid-rage-like rampages that really shouldn't be imitated and 3) as we noted before is a fictional character.
The serious issue here is that as CGI movie creations become increasingly lifelike, real people will face a growing temptation to try to look like the fantasy creations they see on screen.
While we're on the subject, please don't try to shrink your waistline to look like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings." He's not real either.
Inside "Muscle & Fitness," the cover article boasts "You don't need gamma radiation to get big and strong–just a good gym and a desire to smash!"
That's certainly true–you don't need radiation to get fit, and it's certainly helpful of the magazine to point that out. Five points for Gryffindor.
Inside the magazine, the article hedges a bit from the promises on the cover, offering up an actual training program "that will considerably enhance your muscular size, strength, and power–if not quite to Hulk proportions, then, at the very least, surpassing [Hulk alter ego Bruce] Banner."
Getting bigger than Banner–a mild-manned, lab coat-wearing, bespectacled physicist– is a considerably more modest aim than getting "huge like the Hulk."
In my own personal workout regimen, I'm hoping to get bigger than Peter Parker and more humongous than Clark Kent. This is what is known in fitness circles as setting achievable goals.
"Muscle & Fitness" goes on to offer a vigorous program of weightlifting and dieting that includes "pec-pounding" pushups, windsprints, a heavy bag, four jumbo eggs for breakfast, and a"Triangle of Power" dumbbell row.
We can't say if the workout the magazine offers up will actually make you any bigger, angrier or greener. But we can say that with all the Twizzlers we ate at "The Avengers" screening this afternoon, we're feeling too stuffed to actually attempt it anytime soon.
Plus we're not certain what a "Triangle of Power" is exactly, but it sounds like you have to already be powerful to attempt it.
Elsewhere in the magazine, another article lays out the workouts routines of some of the actors in "The Avengers," including the programs for Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor).
There's even one for Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man. Unfortunately, his fitness routine isn't just putting on a superpowered suit.
That we could've handled.

text: Neutrinos: Ghostly particles with unstable egosSeptember 06, 2011The knowledge of the neutrino mass is based on numerous experiments, in which so-called neutrino oscillations were observed. Neutrinos freely flying through the space of a particular family (i.e. the electron neutrino) can transform themselves spontaneously into a neutrino of another family affiliation (the muon neutrino or tau neutrino). One refers to an oscillation because the neutrino may change its family affiliation periodically during an extended journey. Such oscillations are only possible if the particles are carrying mass. The experimental evidence of neutrino oscillations (and thus a neutrino mass other than zero) is among the greatest breakthroughs of modern particle physics in the past 20 years. The conversion process among different neutrino flavors depends on three so-called mixing angles Theta 12, Theta 23 and Theta 13. In interplay with the neutrino mass-squared differences they regulate the transition probabilities among different flavors. Of the three mixing angles only two are well known and have large values, while the third one Theta 13 is at the focus of current searches. So far, it was known that its value had to be small compared to the other two neutrino mixing angles. That is, Theta 13 = 0 could not be excluded. In the past, several independent projects have tried to measure this elusive parameter without success. The most important piece of information came in 1998 from the Chooz experiment in France, which established that the oscillation evoked by Theta 13 cannot be larger than approximately one tenth of those induced by the each of the other two neutrino mixing angles. Three years ago a group of theoretical physicists of whom one, Antonio Palazzo, is now at the Excellence Cluster Universe, the others at the University and INFN of Bari, evidenced for the first time a weak hint of non-zero Theta 13 thanks to an accurate work of global analysis of all the existing neutrino oscillation data. In the meantime, two accelerator experiments (MINOS and T2K) were at work to nailing down Theta 13 and they have recently released their results. Notably, both experiments point towards a non-zero Theta 13, in agreement with the hint evidenced by the group of theorists. By combining their previous findings with the new accelerator data, in June 2011 the same group came for the first time to a statistically clear conclusion according to which sin² Theta 13 ≈ 0.02 with a confidence level of at least 3 Sigma. This means that the odds against Theta 13 > zero are 1:400. However, physicists are very prudent and, before claiming a discovery, need to have a higher confidence level of 5 Sigma, diminishing the odds against Theta 13 > zero to 1:1 million. In order to provide secure evidence, the researchers are performing other experiments. Among these, the reactor experiment Double-Chooz, in which physicists of the Universe Clusters are strongly involved, will have a crucial role. For this purpose, it has been developed a particularly effective, terrestrial neutrino source: The particles (more precisely: anti-neutrinos) are generated and emitted during the fission processes in a nuclear power plant in particularly high flux. About 1020 antineutrinos leave a typical reactor every second. For this reason, a new experiment, the inheritor of the forerunning Chooz experiment, has started in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant in the French municipality Chooz. Thanks to this setup the value of Theta 13 will be measured with a precision that hitherto has not been achieved. The principle behind the Double-Chooz experiment is very simple: Immediately after their generation in the reactor, several anti-neutrinos collide with a detector located 400 meters away. The spatial proximity ensures that no oscillations (or only extremely few) occur between emission and initial detection. The first detector thus measures the electron anti-neutrinos, which haven't transformed to muon and or tau neutrinos yet. A second detector of identical construction is located approximately 1,050 meters away from the reactor. If the value of the neutrino mixing angle Theta 13 is large enough, a part of the electron anti-neutrinos will become muon or tau anti-neutrinos as a result of the oscillations. The electron-anti-neutrino rate observed at the second detector therefore is much smaller than expected without oscillations. Both detectors are filled with about 10 tons of scintillation fluid. If an electron-anti-neutrino interacts with a proton within the fluid, this will lead to inverse-beta decay: The proton captures the electron-anti-neutrino thereby transforming into one neutron by emitting one positron. Both particles generate one quick flash each in the liquid in a set time sequence. 390 photo sensors mounted on the walls of the vessel record the events. The Double Chooz experiment started physics data taking in April 2011 and will search for corresponding signals for five years. The detector performance and the status of data taking will be reported at the TAUP conference in Munich from 5 to 9 September 2011. First results are expected by the end of this year. Establishing that Theta 13 is effectively different from zero would entail that all the three mixing angles are non-vanishing. This would provide the three neutrino flavors with maximal freedom of flipping one to each other. In turn, such a high degree of freedom is the necessary condition to generate CP-violation in the leptonic sector, i.e. to give rise to a different behavior of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. The observation of CP-violation is now the next target of neutrino physicists as it would have significant consequences for several unanswered questions of modern physics. It could soon be clarified, in particular, whether neutrinos were responsible for the minimal surplus of matter compared to anti-matter in the early Universe. Without this asymmetry, all matter would have been transformed to radiation shortly after the birth of the Universe. There would be no galaxies, no stars or planets and no one who could measure Theta 13.

Cosmic debris: Study looks inside the universe's most powerful explosions A new study provides an inside look at the most powerful explosions in the universe: gamma-ray bursts. Decoding the gravitational evolution of dark matter halos Researchers at Kavli IPMU and their collaborators have revealed that considering environmental effects such as a gravitational tidal force spread over a scale much larger than a galaxy cluster is indispensable to explain the distribution and evolution of dark matter halos around galaxies. Researchers show neutrinos can deliver not only full-on hits but also 'glancing blows' In what they call a "weird little corner" of the already weird world of neutrinos, physicists have found evidence that these tiny particles might be involved in a surprising reaction. Researchers detect possible signal from dark matter Could there finally be tangible evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe?

POLARBEAR seeks cosmic answers in microwave polarization An international team of physicists has measured a subtle characteristic in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation that will allow them to map the large-scale structure of the universe, determine the masses of neutrinos and perhaps uncover some of the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Princeton scientists observe elusive particle that is its own antiparticle Princeton University scientists have observed an exotic particle that behaves simultaneously like matter and antimatter, a feat of math and engineering that could yield powerful computers based on quantum mechanics. Hide & Seek: Sterile Neutrinos Remain Elusive The Daya Bay Collaboration, an international group of scientists studying the subtle transformations of subatomic particles called neutrinos, is publishing its first results on the search for a so-called sterile neutrino, a possible new type of neutrino beyond the three known neutrino "flavors," or types. Antineutrino detectors could aid non-proliferation Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland and even in the fictional world of CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" look to subatomic particles called neutrinos to answer the big questions about the universe.

How do you tell which friend is stalking your phone on FindFriends ?
I've noticed my location icon is on all the time recently and Privacy>Location Services says FindFriends is using it in Geofence mode.
I'm presuming one of my friends has setup a ' Notify me when leaves/Arrives' reminder in FindFriends? Thing is, there seems to be no way to tell who it is? It would be nice to know who is accessing my location and why! |

Because it can be handy sometimes if you are waiting for a friend to arrive so you can check their progress without having to call them while driving.
Or if you lose them at a busy place like a festival where saying " i'm by the tree" doesn't help! |

Doesn't a friend or family member have to request your permission to use the app? I use it with my wife so we know where each other are. Not because we don't trust one another but because its handy if she is on her way home and not answering her phone. Its a useful app but when we set it up we had to invite each other and accept the invite.

Yeah, you have to accept to share the location information with each other.
My issue is the only way to tell who is actually accessing your location info at any given time is by asking every one of your 'friends' It might just be someone testing out the feature but seeing the location indication on the status bar all the time is annoying and also potentially a battery drainer. |

When not needed, you can simply go into the app and select "hide from followers"
This basically turns off the ability of others to request your location. When you are ready for them to 'track' you again, simply turn the aforementioned setting back on. To answer the OP's question, there is currently no way to know which follower is following your location.

I never said I was afraid or paranoid about it but it did highlight a flaw in the design as you cannot tell who is watching and when . I wouldn't allow people to follow me who I wasn't totally fine with doing so but the issue was not being able to identify who was using the 'Notify when leaves feature ' . Shutting the entire app off is not a solution when its used many other reasons. |

This post started badly when OP used the word, STALKING. Funny but not useful to get an answer.
This is a simple matter of how the app should work. I don't use it, but to me once you sign on to it, you agreed to belong to that "circle of friends." I would ask, is that an agreement to give up your privacy always? Can I temporarily "turn it off" like OK I give my phone number to friends, but I can temporarily set my phone to SEND TO VOICEMAIL when I don't want to answer the phone. To me, yes, the App should tell you who's following you, that's just fair, you give out your privacy, and followers identifying themselves is just reciprocal, and if the App doesn't do that, then I don't like the App. But, is the person really stalking you or he just followed you last time when u all went to this dinner and forgot to turn it off and the thing is just running in the background? Anywhoo, it goes both ways right, is nice to know where he is, but the other way is stalking, mmmhhhhh...
Solution: FREE, Explanation: Is gonna cost ya. |

The are two elements to the app. You can allow friends to 'Follow' you which basically means that at yours or their will they can LOG IN to the app and then see your location at that time. This makes the location indicator show up but that goes when they close the app and my phone stops using the location. At any time I can remove them from the Follow/friend list and I can't see them nor they me. Or I could choose Hide from all followers so no one can see me but I can see them . The new element, is the 'Notify' part and this is where I had the issue. If a friend sets up a notify on me ( e.g Notify when leaves current location or arrives to X) This causes my phone to continuously have the location symbol appear and potentially it's draining my battery more waiting to tell them what I do. I have no way to know which friend is doing this, why they are doing it , or a way to stop them except by blocking everyone. I'm not really bothered that they have one set up but I'd like control over my own battery! For the tin hat people, if you haven't turned off 'traffic' on your iphone then apple is already tracking your every move. |

There was a lot of news this week about the impending bankruptcy of the Postal Service. Now we are hearing that the Federal Housing Administration is $16.3 billion in the red. So not only has the FHA served as a market-distorting force in the housing market, it is a massive liability to taxpayers. Don't expect anyone to offer prudent legislation to wind down the FHA.

The entire amount of air that gets into the Ford Fairlane engine is never devoid of dirt, so you must get a top-of-the-line air filter to capture each of the particles found in it. Built in order to capture even very small fibers of dirt, the Ford Fairlane air filter guards the engine against complications that could come up due to contamination.
If you're looking for a reliable air filter, it's essential to pick a component with a filtering element built from natural cotton—the mentioned material is preferred thanks to its great dirt-catching and air flow efficiency. An additional essential aspect in the Ford Fairlane air filter structure is the pleating; the more the pleats, the bigger the surface for capturing dirt. Filter toughness should likewise be looked into—the pressure in the intake may be incredibly high, thus air filters must be sufficiently strong or these parts could quickly crumble.
Acquiring a new Ford Fairlane air filter with exceptional characteristics won't be a problem here at Parts Train—we have more than one million parts in stock, ready for shipping to your address. All components are taken from reliable companies out there—S&B, Mann-Filter, Febi, Beck Arnley, and more.

Cobalt ferrite is a ferrimagnetic magnetostrictive ceramic that has potential application in magnetoelastic and magnetoelectric transducers. In this work, CoFe2O4 was obtained using a conventional ceramic method and Bi2O3 was used as additive in order to obtain liquid-phase sintered samples. Bi2O3 was added to the ferrite in amounts ranging from 0.25 mol% to 0.45 mol% and samples were sintered at 900 °C and 950 °C. It was observed the presence of Bi-containing particles in the microstructure of the sintered samples and the magnetostriction results indicated microstructural anisotropy. It was verified that it is possible to get dense cobalt ferrites, liquid-phase sintered, with relative densities higher than 90% and with magnetostriction values very close to samples sintered without additives.
Magnetostrictive materials are applicable in magnetoelastic transducers for sensing magnetic fields and mechanical stresses. There are several examples in the literature of applications of magnetostrictive ferrites in magnetic field [
Magneto-electric (ME) composites combine magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases to form materials that can convert both magnetic and mechanical energies into electricity. These features make ME composites applicable in magnetic field sensors [
The distribution of the magnetic and piezoelectric phases in ME composites may vary. Laminate distribution has the advantage of eliminating charge leakage, however, in the case of ceramic composites, co-firing is challenging [
Iron-rare earth alloys, like TERFENOL, are widely used in magnestoelastic transducers due to their giant magnetostriction and high magnetoelastic sensitivity [
Sintering of ferrites usually requires temperatures around 1,300–1,450 °C. However, in the fabrication of electronic devices, sometimes sintering temperatures lower than 1,000 °C are required. The use of sintering additives that form a liquid phase during sintering is an alternative for lowering the sintering temperature of ceramics. Additives such as V2O5 [
CoFe2O4 presents the highest magnetostriction value among ferrites, which makes this material suitable for magneto-mechanical sensors. The work from Bhame [
Co3O4 and Fe2O3 were used as raw materials for the fabrication of CoFe2O4. These oxides were manually dry mixed in a mortar and calcined at 850 °C for 4 h. Bi2O3 was added to the calcined powder in the following molar proportions: 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.35%, and 0.45%. The mixing of the additive was carried out in ethyl alcohol, using an eccentric mill. The ethyl alcohol was removed from the mixture by means of combustion.
Part of the calcined powder was sintered at 950 °C for 6 h and its crystalline structure was evaluated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). This experiment was carried out in a Panalytical Empyrean X'Pert PRO MRD diffractometer, with CuKα radiation. The parameters used were: generator voltage: 40 kV; tube current: 30 mA; scan step size: 0.02°. The lattice parameter (a) was calculated, based on the XRD results, and the reference mass density (dref) was calculated using
The calcined Bi2O3-added powders were uniaxially pressed into tablets of 8-mm diameter and 2-mm thickness, under 50 MPa pressure. The compacted tablets were subsequently pressed in an isostatic press, under 300 MPa. The tablets were sintered at 900 °C for 3 h and at 950 °C for 3h and the values of the mass densities (d) were measured by means of Archimedes' method. The relative mass density (D) was calculated, having dref as reference. The compositions with D = 90% were selected to have new samples sintered for 6 h. Only the samples that had D > 90% had their microstructures and magnetic properties analyzed in this work.
For magnetic characterization, samples from the tablets were cut in a cubic shape with sides of approximately 3 mm. The magnetization measurements were made using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer—VSM from Quantum Design. The internal fields (Hint) were calculated from
The magnetostriction curves parallel (λ//) and perpendicular (λ⊥) to the applied field "H" were measured by means of capacitance dilatometry [
The microstructures of the samples were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of polished and thermally etched samples' surfaces and the local compositions were assessed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis. Because of the low accuracy of EDX analysis to quantify light elements, it was carried out in a qualitative way, not taking oxygen into consideration.
A CoFe2O4 sample with 93% relative density was obtained by Lemos [
The results from X-ray analysis of the ferrite powders are shown in
The mass densities obtained by Archimedes' method and the corresponding "D" values of the Bi2O3-added samples are shown on
The microstructures of the samples that attained D > 90% are shown on
The observation of the Bi-containing particles in
It is expected that the magnetostriction of polycrystalline samples that have isotropic microstructure with equiaxed and randomly oriented grains follow the proportion λ// = −2λ⊥. This proportionality was not observed in all samples as a consequence of the processing method, which resulted in samples with anisotropic microstructure. The anisotropy of microstructure is more evident in the sample with 0.45% Bi2O3 sintered at 900 °C for 6 h, where λ// ≈ −4.8 λ⊥.
The results shown in
A more detailed study of the influence of the second phases on the magnetic properties of this ferrite would require a precise characterization of the chemical composition of such phases. It is known that the BiCo1-xFexO3 phase is paramagnetic when x = 0 (at temperatures between 100–800 K), antiferromagnetic when x = 1, and ferromagnetic at room temperature when 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 0.7 [
The anisotropy induced by the presence of the second phases increased considerably the linear magnetostriction and this is a very interesting characteristic for the development of force sensors, for example.
As expected, the more relevant results were obtained for the direction parallel to the magnetic field, because the saturated magnetostriction values are higher in this configuration. The highest sensitivities were reached by the samples with 0.45% of Bi2O3, sintered at 900 °C for 6 h and with 0.35% of Bi2O3, sintered at 950 °C for 6 h, having the first a maximum sensitivity very close to the reference sample. Among the liquid-phase sintered samples, the one with 0.35% Bi2O3 addition presented the highest longitudinal magnetoelastic sensitivity in lower fields. Another virtue of both samples is that the maximum sensitivity occurs at low fields, lower than 0.2 T. As expected, the maximum magnetoelastic sensitivity is directly related to the maximum magnetostriction attained in the samples in the parallel configuration and therefore, must be associated with the second phases produced due to the liquid-phase sintering with Bi2O3.
CoFe2O4 sintered samples with relative densities higher than 91% were successfully obtained, by means of liquid-phase sintering with Bi2O3 as sintering additive. The use of sintering temperatures of 900 °C and 950 °C resulted in values of magnetostriction and magnetoelastic sensitivity as high as in a reference sample of CoFe2O4 sintered at 1,300 °C without additives. This is an important result considering that the sintering temperatures used were below 1,000 °C.
The formation of ferromagnetic second phases during liquid phase sintering, that were detected by SEM analysis, is supposed to be the responsible for the good magnetostriction and magnetoelastic sensitivity results obtained. The presence of these phases caused anisotropy of the microstructure and of the magnetostrictive behavior; however, the determination of their composition and the related magnetic properties must be confirmed.

Md. National Guard unit deploys to Afghanistan
200th Military Police Co. to be overseas for about a year
Several families had to say goodbye to their loved ones Wednesday as 100 members of the Maryland National Guard began their deployment to Afghanistan.
The 200th Military Police Company will be overseas for about a year in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. That includes Specialist Brooke Africa, whose entire family came to say goodbye, including her great-grandfather, a veteran of World War II.
"I'm proud of her, but hate to see her go. I'm very proud of her," Homer Golden said.
Members of the unit also guarded the site of the 9/11 attack at the Pentagon and provided security for the presidential inauguration in 2009.
