When I first saw that G-Eazy had titled his new single Plastic Dreams I wondered if he was referring to dreams of limitless credit cards, women so flawless they look industrially made, or both. Turns out my mind's obviously much more shallow than Eazy's - what he has in mind for Plastic Dreams is a little deeper. Sure, the Marilyn creator does plenty of fantasizing about Rihanna and stacks of cash on the mic, but ultimately he turns Dreams into a meditation on the nature of desire. With a hazy, self-produced beat and vocals from Johanna Fay that give the song real heart, Dreams should be just the thing to get the populace excited for the release of Eazy' Must Be Nice album, due out September 26.

09.12.04 - While Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson battle it out for light heavyweight supremacy at the STAPLES Center on Saturday, December 18, the stakes are just as high on the star-studded undercard, as a mix of former champions, contenders, prospects, and Olympians will all try to stake their claim in the boxing world.
In the main support bout to the championship matchup between Tarver and Johnson former WBO 175-pound champion Julio Gonzalez (36-2, 22 KOs) will square off against former title challenger David Telesco (29-4-1, 24 KOs) in a hard-hitting ten round clash that may determine a future opponent for the winner of Tarver-Johnson. David Telesco, a knockout artist from Port Chester, New York, has compiled an impressive 6-1-1 (5 KOs) record since a hard fought decision loss to Roy Jones Jr. in 2000. Fresh off a second round knockout of Manu Ntoh in July, Telescos focus and punching power spells a rough night for anyone at 175 pounds. Huntington Beach, Californias Julio Gonzalez is no stranger to tough fights and tough fighters in the light heavyweight division. A young man who has been in the ring with Roy Jones Jr., Glen Johnson, and who handed German superstar Dariusz Michalczewski his first and only defeat in 2003, this former WBO world champion is itching to get back his crown in 2005. But he needs to get by Telesco to do it.
A title shot may be at stake in another intriguing ten rounder on December 18, which features unbeaten up and comer Tarvis Simms (19-0, 11 KOs) against perennial contender Carlos Bojorquez (23-5-6, 19 KOs) in a middleweight bout. Norwalk, Connecticuts Simms, a southpaw with impressive power in both hands, has not allowed his two previous opponents this year to reach the final bell. An impressive win over Bojorquez will place Marvelous in position to join his brother Travis as a world champion in 2005. Riverside, Californias Bojorquez has his sights on a world title as well, and the hard-nosed seven-year veteran feels that he is getting closer with each successive win. Holder of a TKO victory over future hall of famer Pernell Whitaker, Bojorquez comes to fight from bell to bell, and he will be bringing his best on December 18.
In a featured attraction, all-action heavyweight Vinny Maddalone (21-2, 15 KOs), who many believe is a throwback to the heavyweights of boxings golden age in style and demeanor, makes his first trip out West in a ten round heavyweight bout against Honolulu's Ronnie Smith.
The Class of 2004 will also be prominently featured on December 18, as the lone United States Gold Medallist from the Athens games, Oaklands Andre Ward, makes his professional debut in a light heavyweight bout against Christopher Molina (2-0, 1 KO), and Daniel Cervantes, a representative of Mexico in the 2004 Olympics who is managed in the pro ranks by former world champion Fernando Vargas, puts his 3-0 record on the line in a junior welterweight contest against Juan Alfonso Figueroa (2-0, 1 KO).
Rounding out this outstanding card will be a lightweight battle between female standouts Mia St. John (38-4-2, 15 KOs) and former Playboy Cover Girl of San Francisco, and Lisa Lewis (7-10, 3 KOs) of Fresno, who will fight for California bragging rights in their six rounder.
Doors open at 3:45pm, first bout 4:00pm.
Tickets for Tarver-Johnson, priced at $25, $50, $125, and $250 are available now at STAPLES Center Box Office (open 9am to 6pm Monday through Saturday) and Team LA at Universal City Walk or by calling Ticketmaster at 213-480-3232. Tickets are also available online at www.ticketmaster.com. For group sales, please call 1-866-LA-GROUP. Tarver-Johnson, which is presented by Joe DeGuardias Star Boxing, in association with Goossen Tutor Promotions, will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.

The Gippsland Lakes are a network of lakes, marshes and lagoons in east Gippsland, Victoria, Australia covering an area of about 354 square kilometres (137 sq mi). The largest of the lakes are Lake Wellington (Gunai language: Murla[1]), Lake King and Lake Victoria. The lakes are collectively fed by the Avon, Thomson, Latrobe, Mitchell, Nicholson and Tambo rivers.
The Gippsland Lakes were formed by two principal processes. The first is river delta alluvial deposition of sediment brought in by the rivers which flow into the lakes. Silt deposited by this process forms into long jettys which can run many kilometres into a lake, as exemplified by the Mitchell River silt jetties that run into Lake King. The second process is the action of sea current in Bass Strait which created the Ninety Mile Beach and cut off the river deltas from the sea.
Once the lakes were closed off a new cycle started, whereby the water level of the lakes would gradually rise until the waters broke through the barrier beach and the level would drop down until it equalised with sea-level. Eventually the beach would close-off the lakes and the cycle would begin anew. Sometimes it would take many years before a new channel to the sea was formed and not necessarily in the same place as the last one.
In 1889 a wall was built to fix the position of a naturally occurring channel between the lakes and the ocean at Lakes Entrance, to stabilise the water level, create a harbour for fishing boats and open up the lakes to shipping. This entrance needs to be dredged regularly, or the same process that created the Gippsland Lakes would render the entrance too shallow for seagoing vessels to pass through.
Due to the flooding, in 2011, Gippsland Lakes were experiencing bioluminescence.[2]
The lakes support numerous species of wildlife and there exist two protected areas within: The Lakes National Park and Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park. The Gippsland Lakes wetlands are protected by the international Ramsar Convention on wetlands. There are also approximately 400 indigenous flora species and 300 native fauna species. Three plants, two of them being orchid species, are listed as endangered. The numbers of southern right whales and humpback whales using the Lake Entrance area show increases in recent years as the populations started to recover from illegal hunts by Soviet Union with helps by Japan in 1960s-70s.
Burrunan dolphins[edit]
The lakes are home to about 50 of the recently described species of bottlenose dolphin, the Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis). The other 150 or so of this rare species are to be found in Port Phillip.[3]
The wetlands provide habitat for about 20,000 waterbirds – including birds from as far afield as Siberia and Alaska. The lakes have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because they regularly support over 1% of the global populations of black swans, chestnut teals and musk ducks, as well as many fairy terns.[4]
The Gippsland Lakes are, in order of size:
- Lake Wellington, 150 square kilometres (58 sq mi)[5]
- Lake Victoria, 150 square kilometres (58 sq mi)[6]
- Lake Reeve, 52 square kilometres (20 sq mi)[7]
- Lake King, 44 square kilometres (17 sq mi)[8]
- Lake Coleman, 13 square kilometres (5.0 sq mi)[9]
- Lake Tyers, 9.5 square kilometres (3.7 sq mi)[10]

Fishermen warned against sailing as typhoon nears
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council warned fishermen against sailing into the rough seas off northeastern Luzon as a typhoon threatens to enter the Philippine territory.
"Di natin alam kung mag-iiba ang direksyon ng bagyo pero iwasan muna natin ang maglayag sa extreme northeastern portion ng Luzon (We do not know if the typhoon will change its direction but we have to avoid sailing into the northeastern portion of Luzon)," NDRRMC executive director Eduardo del Rosario told reporters.
He said, however, that there was no cause for alarm as Soulik, which would be called Huaning once it enters the Philippines, would not make landfall even as it would enhance the southwest monsoon.
It could cause floods, Del Rosario said.
He said the regional disaster management councils were ordered to undertake precautionary measures, including pre-emptive evacuation of families in low-lying and mountainous areas.
The state weather bureau said Soulik would bring rains in the western section of the country by Thursday afternoon and was likely to stay until Saturday.

SK abolition gains support in Congress
MANILA, Philippines—Moves to abolish the Sangguniang Kabataan is gaining traction in Congress.
Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice has refiled his bill seeking the abolition of the youth council while Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo proposed to give a zero budget for the village legislature, whose members are from 15 to 17 years old.
Erice, who called the SK a "school of corruption," has proposed the organization be replaced with a Barangay Youth Council whose head will be the youngest elected councilor in the same barangay or village.
"The original objective of the creation of the Sangguniang Kabataan as a training ground for the country's future leaders is a noble one. However, through the years, it has been observed that the ugly side of Philippine politics has served to distract it from its primordial mission. It has become the logical first target of any local politician who is seeking a higher position," said Erice, whose House Bill 1122 seeking the aboliton of the SK reached the committee level in the 15th Congress.
Erice used to be a head of the SK's predecessor, the Kabataang Barangay from 1975 to 1981, in his city and he recalled that they received mo allocations during his stint in contrast to the millions of pesos allocated per barangay.
"It's purely volunteerism where the youth leaders then were focused on programs that directly benefited them, much different from the current set-up. That is why, it must be abolished now," said Erice.
Erice said the proposed BYC woud report directly to the Sangguniang Barangay and it would oversee four committees– sports, education, culture and arts, and environment.
Erice said that several other lawmakers who have filed bills seeking the SK abolition in the last Congress would also re-file their versions in this Congress. He said they were looking to approve the bills abolishing the SK before it holds its elections in October. Erice noted that even the Commission on Elections has declared its intention to seek Congress' help in enacting a law on the SK abolition. Comelec Commissioner Lucenito Tagle, has called the SK a "breeding ground for political dynasties" and corrupt politicians.
Henrietta de Villa, chair of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting, said that the 42,000 seats for SK chair and 300,000 seats for SK Council were being used as an "entry point" for political dynasties.
"This is what political dynasties do now. They introduce their children in the SK and use it as basis in going after higher positions when they are of age. That is not supposed to be. SK should be a practicing ground for authentic political leaders to emerge," De Villa said.
For his part, Castelo acknowledged the rampant corruption in the SK but resisted against moves to shutter it. Castelo said that he would file a bill seeking to scarp the budget allocated for SK in order to stop the corruption among its members.
"The SK's political corruption emanates from its leaders access to public funds and that a budget-less SK would be the appropriate antidote for such political corruption. It can be saved if only reforms are instituted," said Castelo said in a statement.
"We do not burn the whole house because of a few termites. Without funding for the SK, the young leaders' elders, comprising politicians, barangay leaders, and their parents, who act in behalf of these SK leaders, would be discouraged to interfere in the SK," Castelo said.

Scientists waste no time getting to work at Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies
TRADITION - Scientists wasted no time in undertaking their cutting edge research into pain killing and preventative drugs at the newly opened headquarters for Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies in Port St. Lucie.
Scientists moved into the $40 million, 100,000-square-foot three-story complex in the Florida Center for Innovation at Tradition in January. Research is focused on relieving chronic pain associated with numerous diseases that range from multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, Types 1 and 2 diabetes, AIDS and other infectious diseases, to transplant rejection and rheumatoid arthritis.
The building was designed to earn a federal Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building rating for incorporating features that conserve energy or natural resources through increased ventilation, energy-efficient electrical systems and sidewalks and bike racks to encourage walking instead of driving.
Torrey Pines was lured to Florida by a $90 million state and local package. In return, the company must employ 189 in the next decade. About 40 currently are employed.
Here is a look at the facility. For an interactive tour of the biology and chemistry labs used by scientists and area students, along with other amenities in the 100,000-square-foot complex that is the first of the region's forming biotechnology cluster at the Florida Center for Innovation at Tradition, visit www. TCPalm.com/interactive/researchpark/tpims/tour.
• The building features biology and chemistry labs for scientists and area students.
• Other features include a centralized atrium, cold storage space, a fitness room and a state-of-the-art auditorium and a second floor faculty club that can both be used for video conferences.
• The third floor of the complex will initially be used by VGTI Florida, a branch of the Oregon-based Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.
• VGTI Florida, which landed a $60 million incentive package from the state in return for employing 200 people within 10 years, plans to build 130,000-square-foot facility next door to Torrey Pines.

AMD FX-8150 with Microsoft KB2592546 put through "before and after" patch tests
There was a patch that was released by Microsoft last week (KB2592546) for Windows, where it was claimed it would improve performance of systems powered by AMD's latest processor architecture, Bulldozer.
What the patch did, was make the OS aware of the way AMD's Bulldozer cores are structured, so it could effectively make use of the parallelism at its disposal. Microsoft a few days later, pulled the patch. But, this is the Internet.
SweOverclockers' had enough time to do a "before and after" performance test of the new AMD FX-8150 processor, with the now pulled patch. The results of SweOverclockers' tests are in the picture above. "tidigare" is before, "nytt" is after, and "skillnad" is change. The chip has been put through a fair amount of tests, some synthetic CPU-intensive tasks, and real-world gaming performance tests.
The results are actually, not that good, and this is most likely the reason the patch was pulled.
Intel to intro Core i5-2550K processor
Intel, in it's plot to take over the CPU world, is set to release another unlocked Core i5 processor. It will arrive in the form of the Core i5-2550K and has a retail channel part number of BX80623I52550K and OEM part number CM806230121300, the Core i5-2550K was added to the MDDS database.
The Core i5-2550K will carry the S-spec code SR0QH. Clock speeds are unknown at this time, but CPU World expect it to be 3.40GHz. The chip will be on the LGA1155 package, feature four cores, 256KB L2 cache per core, 6MB shared L3 cache, integrated dual-channel DDR3 IMC, integrated PCI-Express 2.0 root complex and a TDP of 95W.
Intel finally accepts USB 3.0 into their heart, chipsets, will become a standard
The USB Implementers Forum announced this week that Intel's upcoming "Ivy Bridge" 7-Series Chipset, and other Intel chipsets, have achieved, finally, USB 3.0 certification. Intel's Ivy Bridge silicon, which is due to ship in Q2 2012, will have USB 3.0 as a standard feature, for the first time ever. At the moment, it has only been made available on select notebooks and desktops, and requires chips from AMD, or additional chips from NEC, and others.
General Manager of Intel's Chipset and SoC IP Group, Ahmad Zaidi, said in a statement:
SuperSpeed USB certification...helps ensure interoperability and backward compatibility within the broad USB ecosystem.
Analysts believe that once USB 3.0 has been baked into Intel's chipset, it will made the standard universal as it can be offered on virtually any PC. Brian O'Rourke, research director for In-Stat, has said:
Intel's integration of SuperSpeed USB into its upcoming core logic chipset is critical because it allows cost-conscious PC (makers) to offer the technology at a very competitive price point. Additionally, SuperSpeed USB adoption in PCs is leading to broad adoption in PC peripherals, consumer electronics, and mobile devices.
Intel hearts NFC, enters licensing deal with Inside Secure for NFC
Intel did show off a Medfield-powered tablet at IDF which had NFC tech built in, as well as being partnered with MasterCard, it promises to bring PayPass checkouts to Ultrabooks.
Intel is now entering a licensing deal with Inside Secure. Inside Secure specializes in contactless payment systems and will be lending its Microread, Secured and Open NFC products to Intel for future chips.
NFC should feature in Ultrabooks, and we should see it in any future x86-powered smartphones, too. NFC is looking to become the next pure standard, and with companies like Intel behind it, it gives more confidence to the technology, and its customers.
ARM & GlobalFoundaries show off 2.5GHz+ 28nm Cortex A9 and 20nm test vehicle
GlobalFoundaries will be a name that will be commonly mentioned in 2012, which is something they'll be easily doing if they continue at this pace. They've announced a dual-core Cortex A9 test chip that is built on a 28nm HPP (High Performance Plus) process.
This test chip clocks in at 2.5GHz and is said to be capable of higher frequencies. It operating voltage is just 0.85V. Both the frequency and voltage targets are good for a Cortex A9 implementation, but remember, this is just a test chip.
Most companies are expecting to pass the 2GHz mark next year on high-performance 28nm processes, so we should see this by the end of 2012, if not early 2013. We should see these designs in tablets and netbook replacements, with ARM being Windows 8-compatible now.

AMD to release FX-6200, sits at 3.80GHz, with TurboCore speeds at 4.10GHz
AMD launched their AMD FX processor family with just a few units, two eight-core parts (FX-8150, FX-8120), a six-core product (FX-6100), and the quad-core one (FX-4100). But there's now a new processor set to hit the shelves of retailers worldwide, a six-core FX-6200 chip.
The FX-6200 receives quite the speed boost compared to the FX-6100. The FX-6100 has a stock clock speed of 3.3GHz and 3.90GHz under TurboCore, but the FX-6200 puts its hard hat on and gets onto its Bulldozer with stock clocks at 3.8GHz and a TurboCore speed of 4.10GHz. AMD have a chart which shows that we should expect a 10-percent increase in performance when using MainConcept Convert HD to Flash. I look forward to seeing some real-world, gaming results.
Now, if AMD could just find those 800 million transistors that have gone missing...
LeakedTT: Intel's Desktop Platform Roadmap for 2012
To look, or not to look. Ah, come on. You know you're going to take a peek. What does it include? Well, the gist of it, there's not much exciting happening for CPUs (in my opinion) for 2012. The roadmap shows that Intel's superhero, the Core i7-3960K, won't be replaced any time throughout 2012. So, if you have one, you'll feel safe knowing you have the knees that are on those bees throughout the year.
But, there will be shifts in all other segments: premium (Core i7), mainstream (Core i5), transactional (Core i3), legacy (Pentium) and value (Celeron and Atom). The biggest change we'll see from Intel in 2012 is the launch of the 22nm-based Socket 1155. There will be a bunch of CPUs released under this new fabrication.
These chips include the Core i7-3770K which will sit at the top of the hill, clocked at 3.50GHz, sporting 8MB of cache, 8 threads, and a Turbo Boost speed of 3.90GHz. TDP sits at 77W and does so throughout the entire 22nm-based range. This is down from the 32nm-based chips with TDP's at a max of 95.

15nm circuits have wires that are just 150 atoms apart
Every time I read the word "atom," I say to myself "up and Atom" from the character "Radioactive Man" from the Simpsons. Anyway, researchers from McGill University and Sandia National Laboratories have built a circuit that has two wires that are separated by just 150 atoms, built on a 15nm process.
Circuits of this size include the usual benefits of lower power consumption and heat, as well as bringing extra functionality due to the larger transistor density. The challenges at this level, as you can imagine, are great. Dan Olds, an analyst at The Gabriel Consulting Group said of this research:
This kind of research also uncovers other potential problems arising from ever smaller shrinks. Getting to 15nm or 16nm will mean smaller and more powerful devices that are more energy efficient. But when we're talking about such a small scale, designing chips that can be mass-produced with decent yields is quite a challenge. There will also be challenges for the design of devices that will use these processors. Devices based on 15nm processes will pack more performance and functionality into much smaller form factors. Functions that used to take two or more chips will be accomplished by one transistor-jammed processor.
Intel is currently playing with 14nm test circuits, releases teaser info
In an exclusive interview with NordicHardware, Managing Director of Intel Northern Europe, Pay Bliemer, revealed that Intel is currently playing with 14nm circuits and have them actually "up and running" in a lab.
Bliemer also states that whilst manufacturing technology is becoming much more complicated, Intel is still full steam ahead with their current roadmaps. Intel were the first to tap into the 32nm technology for mass production of microprocessors and by the end of Q1 2012, they will roll out their Ivy Bridge architecture sporting a 22nm process with "3D Transistors", also known as Tri-gate transistors.
Bliemer also says that by the time Ivy Bridge launches, Intel will be one and a half nodes ahead of the competition. He adds:
I wouldn't say that we have problem but there's no denying that it's getting more complicated the smaller you make something, so you're running into limitations - but our R&D as well from an architectural point of view are the guys making the manufacturing and that's within the same company - which makes Intel unique still. So we can really work extremely close with these teams. We are the same team, the guys who are going to manufacture the parts and the ones who will be designing the parts.

DATE & TIME: Wednesday, January 2, 7 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: GSU Sports Arena (4,500) -- Atlanta, Georgia. Television: None. Home Record: Drexel 1-3, GSU 4-3. Away Record: Drexel 2-3, GSU 1-5. Neutral Record: Drexel 1-2, GSU 0-0. Conference Record: Drexel 0-0, GSU 0-0. Series Record: Drexel leads, 10-3.
GAME NOTES: The Georgia State Panthers kick off their final season of Colonial Athletic Association play on Wednesday night, as they entertain the Drexel Dragons at the GSU SPorts Arena in Atlanta.
Georgia State, which plans on moving to the Sun Belt Conference, is currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak and is three games under .500 overall as a result. The team last took the floor on Saturday when it bowed to Georgia Southern in overtime, 68-64.
As for the Dragons, they were just in action on Monday, closing out the 2012 calendar year with a 63-49 setback versus Saint Joseph's at home. The loss was the second in the last three outings for the program.
As far as the all-time series between these two teams is concerned, the Dragons are ahead by a count of 10-3, thanks in part to a 68-46 blowout win in the most recent meeting last season in Philadelphia.
Damion Lee scored a game-high 21 points, shooting 9-of-20 from the floor, on New Year's Eve, but without much offensive support from his teammates the Dragons were destined for the double-digit home loss against the Hawks. Daryl McCoy added seven points and a game-high 12 rebounds before fouling out, but the squad ended up shooting just 37.3 percent from the floor and 3-of-15 beyond the arc, not to mention being outscored at the free-throw line by a 15-2 margin as well. With the loss of Chris Fouch to an injury early in the campaign, Lee is now the primary offensive threat for Drexel with his 18.8 ppg, which also makes him one of the top scorers in the CAA at the moment. Unfortunately, the team overall is generating just 63.6 ppg, which doesn't quite cut it when the competition is coming up with 66.8 ppg.
Georgia State led by as many as 17 points in the first half of its meeting with Georgia Southern, opening the contest on a 17-0 run, yet somehow the squad found a way to still land in the loss column at Hanner Fieldhouse in Statesboro. Except for Rashaad Richardson who finished with five points, every starter scored in double figures for the Panthers, led by Devonta White and R.J. Richardson with 14 points apiece, but between the pair they also turned the ball over 13 times. James Vincent and Manny Atkins accounted for 11 points each and a collective 17 rebounds as the squad finished with 24 made baskets, but also 23 turnovers. Hunter currently leads the program in scoring with 15.5 ppg, but not far behind is White with his 14.6 ppg. Atkins checks in with another 13.0 ppg and is the top man on the glass with 6.6 rpg as the trio combines for all but nine of the unit's 76 3-point baskets.
Without Fouch the Dragons are at a serious disadvantage against most opponents. However, there is a chance the visitors could make this meeting a bit more challenging for the Panthers and could possibly pull off the win if all goes right.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Drexel 62, Georgia State 59

Revelers from NYC to Dublin mark St. Patrick's Day
But the Savannah parade went on without Ireland's No. 2 politician, Eamon Gilmore, who skipped the trip to avoid a dinner where only men are allowed.
Gilmore, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister, told the Irish Times a visit to Georgia's oldest city would have come with the expectation he attend the annual dinner of the Hibernian Society of Savannah, a private event open only to men. The group's leader said Saturday that Gilmore wasn't formally invited but that he would have been welcome.
"Count me out - I'm not doing it," Gilmore told the Irish newspaper. "I don't believe in segregation either on a gender basis or on any other basis."
In Ireland, Dublin's five-day St. Patrick's Day festival was unfolding with a new addition. For the first time, up to 8,000 visitors from around the world were due to march in a so-called people's parade Sunday, when Ireland's capital city also intends hold its usual procession of bands and pageantry.
In Maine, St. Patrick's Day prompted Gov. Paul LePage to relent on a vow to veto any bill that reached his desk before lawmakers pass his proposal to pay a state debt to hospitals. He signed a measure Friday allowing bars to serve alcohol a few hours earlier than usual, starting at 6 a.m., on the Sunday holiday.
About 1,500 miles southwest, the city of Houma, La., was holding its unconventional celebration - an Irish-Italian parade, with a celebration that features both Irish cabbage and Italian sausage - on Sunday. The event resumed last year after a 10-year hiatus.
In Rolla, Mo., the Missouri University of Science and Technology continued a St. Patrick's tradition that began in 1908, when students declared that the patron saint of Ireland also was the patron saint of engineers. A slate of events included a student portraying St. Patrick being transported downtown on a manure spreader.
Annapolis, Md., held its first St. Patrick's Day parade March 10. A 40-year-old parade tradition took on a sense of renewal March 3 in Belmar, N.J., a shore town that took a heavy blow from Superstorm Sandy.
But along with the festivities, in some places, came warnings from police that they would be on the lookout for drunken drivers and other misbehavior. Police in Baltimore and Washington both planned to increase patrols.
Associated Press writer Sara Burnett in Chicago and Russ Bynum in Savannah, Ga., contributed to this report.

I did a lot of research and settled on the Miwok 22 as my choice for a daypack. On arrival, unfortunately, mine had a major stitching defect and had to be returned. Prior to returning it, I had the opportunity to examine it in detail and try it on. The layout and construction of the pack is excellent. I did notice one problem with this one though. I am 6'3" 215 pounds with a 21" torso as measured. It was really tight even at full adjustment. This pack is definitely not made for taller folk. If you have a torso measurement of 19" or less...you will love it. If higher than that, I would look for an adjustable torso unit

S. Korea, US map out plan to deter N. Korea nuclear – report
More News from Agence France-Presse
SEOUL – South Korea and the United States have mapped out a joint operational plan which outlines concrete measures to deter and respond to North Korea's nuclear threats, a report said Sunday.
The plan encompasses political, diplomatic and military measures to specify how Washington will provide a nuclear umbrella for South Korea in the case of North Korean nuclear provocations, Yonhap news agency said.
The customized plan will be signed at a security meeting between US and South Korean defense chiefs in early October, it said.
"The deterrence plan can be considered equivalent to an operational plan," a South Korean government source told Yonhap.
"Making an official document detailing the US nuclear umbrella reflects its firm commitment against North Korea's atomic weapons threat," the source was quoted as saying.
No details were given of the defensive and offensive measures included in the plan.
Washington, which has nearly 30,000 troops stationed in South Korea, has pledged such protection for its ally but the new plan will contain more details for Seoul and provide a written commitment.
North Korea has said it will never give up its nuclear power but maintains it is open to direct talks with the United States.
Daniel Russel, the US assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, said Friday in Seoul that the North's nuclear program was a "driver of instability" in the region.
In a separate interview published Sunday, Russel said Washington would not agree to reopen six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program unless Pyongyang shows a clear willingness to abandon atomic weapons.
Yonhap quoted Russel as saying he was looking for "convincing indications" from North Korea that the six-party forum, if re-convened, would lead to a rapid-paced road map for the North's de-nuclearization.
"Those are the signs that North Korea needs to send," he said.
"It's understandable after so many cycles of broken promises by North Korea that the international community would have high standards of evidence with a call on North Korea to make convincing indications of its seriousness and purpose," Russel was quoted as saying.

ESSAY; After Triumph and Disillusionment, Wonder Re-enters the Story
By DENNIS OVERBYE
Published: July 27, 2004
When I was a young man, no two dates could have seemed more distant and unconnected than July 16, 1945, and July 20, 1969.
The first, marking the day the initial atomic explosion shattered the dawn at Alamogordo, N.M., belonged to World War II, a conflict so ancient that it might as well have been fought by a previous race. The second date, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin put their bootprints on the fine gray lunar soil, belonged to the future, to the bright destiny of humanity. Modern history had started somewhere in between, in 1957, say, when Russia launched Sputnik, or in 1960, when John F. Kennedy was elected president.
But when I was turning the calendar near my cubicle the other day -- one of my more crucial, if unsung, duties around here -- I was struck by how close together and how similar those disparate events suddenly appeared.
Both the bomb and the moon landings were triumphs of physical science, all-out assaults on the frontier of what was possible, waged with military-style organization and huge amounts of government money. They hark back to a time when physics touched people's lives as never before. The building of the bomb showed that we could destroy the world; it changed war and the relations between nations. The moon landing showed that we could conquer the universe. We could do anything we put our minds to.
Like many another star-struck youth, swept along by Sputnik and science fiction, I enrolled at M.I.T. in the 1960's to study physics, only to soon forget, in the process of trying to ''drink from a fire hose'' -- as institute habitués charmingly refer to the educational process there -- why I had ever been interested in science.
On the night of the moon landing I recall going upstairs and staring at the grainy images on a small television with my neighbors, feeling vaguely disillusioned by the robotic and rehearsed quality of what was supposed to be a transcendent moment.
I don't think I was alone in my reactions. By the late 1960's, when the rockets were approaching the moon, the whole world was beginning to seem too much like a doomsday machine. To some, the Apollo program was just a rich man's toy. ''A rat just bit my sister, and Whitey's on the moon,'' sang the poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron.
As for the bomb, it made physicists heroes -- but tragic ones. They helped win the war but also gave the rest of us the means by which we could end civilization, if not humanity itself. The illusion of physical mastery was subsequently shredded in the popular imagination at places like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Cape Canaveral, where the space shuttle Challenger painted the sky with a Y-shaped cloud in 1986.
The low point for physics came in 1993 when Congress canceled the Superconducting Supercollider, a giant racetrack for protons being built in Texas. If it had survived, the supercollider would now be crashing protons together at energies of 40 trillion electron volts, in search of new forms of matter. Instead, it succumbed to a combination of cost overruns and skepticism about Big Science projects. It is the Large Hadron Collider, an accelerator being built at CERN in Switzerland, that in 2007 will start to illuminate that frontier.
But does anyone care?
Dr. Peter Galison, a historian of science at Harvard, agreed there was a dramatic turn in the fortunes of physics at the end of the cold war in 1989. The fall of communism collapsed a sort of horrible order that had prevailed for 50 years -- a period he called the ''the long war'' -- and undermined the privileged status of physics and particularly particle physics, as ''part of the larger investment of the state in national security.''
For most of the 20th century there had been a general agreement that at the core of physics was what Dr. Galison called ''the march inward,'' the use of larger and more energetic particle accelerators to bore deeper and deeper into the heart of matter, looking for its most basic constituents and the rules they lived by. But by the 1990's, physicists themselves had begun to squabble over priorities, with some arguing that the reductive approach of particle physics, of breaking things into smaller and smaller pieces, left a lot of nature unexplored.
''A kind of strength it had was wounded,'' Dr. Galison said of the physics community.
Dr. Michael Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago and head of physics and mathematics at the National Science Foundation, said the end of the cold war leveled the playing field between physics and biology. It is telling, he said, that Dr. David Baltimore, a Nobel-prize winning biologist, is now president of the California Institute of Technology, a school historically run by physicists.
Lately, the news from Los Alamos, the home of the legendary bomb builders, has been mostly about scandals and allegations of mismanagement and lost data.
Can physics ever scare us or inspire us as much as it did 40 years ago?
The world, you might argue, does not need yet another subatomic particle. But even particle physics has not been about particles for a long time, physicists say. Rather it is about the relationships between particles, the symmetries that nature seems to respect, in short, about the beauty that physical laws seem to embody.
''The goals of the field are much grander now,'' Dr. Turner said in an e-mail message, ticking off understanding mysteries like the nature of space and time, and how the cosmos began.
Albert Einstein was a world figure long before he wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and caused a project to build an atomic bomb to lurch into motion. Ideas also touch people, which is why books by physicists like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene become fixtures on the best-seller list when they are published.
Physicists think they have a pretty good story to tell these days, about the Big Bang, black holes, dark energy, extra dimensions and multiple universes. In the 30 years I have been following this stuff, it has never been wilder. But the real best seller here is wonder. It was popular science books that reminded me finally why I had been interested in science. There's a whole universe out there, and nobody knows how or why.
Another subatomic particle, it is true, would not bring world peace, tell us what to eat or convince us that God loves us.
Physicists can still be heroes. Their development of ever smaller, faster and smarter computing devices is changing the world underneath our feet, without the benefit of a play-by-play by Walter Cronkite. A lot of their energy lately has gone toward what we might call the ''march outward'' into the universe. The continuing refurbishment and reinvention of the Hubble Space Telescope, the ongoing robotic exploration of Mars and the recent threading of Saturn's rings by the Cassini spacecraft are feats worthy of the men that trod the moon.
And physicists have been the atomic conscience of mankind, leading the movement for arms control and urging restraint in the weapons race, ever since that morning in New Mexico.
But there is no mark on the calendar for the day that we didn't blow ourselves up.

LUMBERTON — When Robeson County native Millicent Collins was approached in October by the local chapter of the March of Dimes to take over the position of 2014 March for Babies Chair for the Lumber River area, she says her first thought was that she needed to "learn everything."
Though Collins officially accepted the job in May, the announcement was only formerly made on Tuesday, which she says gave her plenty of time to study up on an organization she says is more important in Robeson County than ever.
"The March of Dimes is an organization that's mission has been to improve the health of babies," Collins said. "So upon finding out that premature infant fatalities are highest in Native American and African Americans, I knew this was something our community couldn't ignore. There are 16,000 babies born too soon in our state (a year)."
Collins, who serves as grant writer for Robeson County, says that the nonprofit holds a personal place in her heart, in part because she is a mother of two.
"Having a baby too soon is a very delicate subject for mothers and fathers and we as humans are very private, so I learned friends who had babies premature, who I would have never known were going through that otherwise," Collins said. "Once they realize there is a way to help, they want to get involved, and I am able to help them do that."
The March for Babies walk, which will be taking place Sept. 27 at Luther Britt Park, is the largest annual fund-raising event for the March of Dimes.
As March for Babies chair, Collins will play an integral role in raising awareness and money to advance the scientific research and educational programs at the core of the March of Dimes effort to find causes and ways to prevent preterm birth and birth defects.
"There is still a lot that we do not know about premature birth and why it happens more to some groups than others," Collins said. "It is one of the reasons funding this research is so important."
The March of Dimes is a not-for-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status that was established in the 1930s in White Plains, N.Y. Today the organization has 51 chapters across the United States.
Residents are invited to sign up for the walk at marchforbabies.org and start a team with co-workers, family and friends. Last year, an estimated 300 people attended the event. Those interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP to March of Dimes Community director, Stacey Prevette, at 910-778-5674.

Students from a few streams like M.A. (English) achieve cent per cent success ratio
Students of MCA, M.A. (English), M.Sc. (Organic Chemistry), and M.Sc. (Marine Biology) third semester achieved cent per cent success in their examinations at Vikrama Simhapuri University (VSU).
Success ratio
The total success ratio in the university was 91.69 per cent, VSU Vice-Chancellor C.R. Visweswara Rao said.
The V-C, along with Registrar V. Narayana Reddy, Examinations Branch Coordinator Ch. Venkatrayalu, in-charge Ranganathan, and media coordinator K. Narasimha Rao, released the first and third semester results in the administration building here on Tuesday.
1st semester results
In the first semester, M.Sc. (Chemistry) and M.A. (English) students achieved cent percent results, while the M.Sc. (Marine Biology) and MCA students recorded 80 per cent and 77.7 per cent success ratio respectively.
Congratulating the students for achieving good results, Mr. Rao said that this was yet another bright academic year from the point of view of success ratio and the cent per cent results indicated good teaching practices.
The Registrar complimented the students and the teaching staff for achieving good results.
Mr. Narayana Reddy said that three research scholars of VSU, belonging to the SC/ST category, secured Rajiv Gandhi Research Fellowships this year. The University Grants Commission (UGC) will present the fellowships to the researchers to encourage Research and Development (R&D) at the university level, and a scholarship of Rs. 12,000 per month will be given to each student.
Of the seven researchers who applied for the fellowship, two students from Computer Science Department and one from Bio-technology Department got selected.
Mr. Visweswara Rao and other staff complimented the students for selecting Rajiv Gandhi Research Fellowships and said that the fellowships will enable the students to attend national and international-level scientific meets and seminars and develop their knowledge.

LIMA — Wanting to boost the momentum of a developing downtown, Lima is adding a tax incentive for creating jobs there.
Mayor David Berger said the city can help draw business downtown and that there should be incentives for investment in the central business district.
"We want to add to the momentum happening in the downtown now," Berger said. "This is for businesses thinking about moving downtown, and those who should be thinking about moving downtown."
City Council approved the change Monday at its meeting. The legislation is effective immediately. The city already has a tax incentive for job creation in the city limits.
In recent years, several new businesses, including shops and restaurants, have opened downtown. Others, such as Old City Prime, Vivace and Fresh, are under construction now. The downtown is seeing other investments, such as Jerry Lewis' McDonald's and Maverick Media opening offices.
"We're seeing a lot of energy right now downtown," Berger said. "Restaurants, shops, continuing discussion from Rhodes State. We're eager to do what we can to keep that up."
For several years, Rhodes officials have considered moving part of the school to the downtown.
The Lima New Jobs Program allows the city to pay a cash incentive to any business owner or developer of property in the city that establishes qualifying new payroll equal to a minimum of $200,000 up to a maximum of $4 million for new jobs created in the city's central business district.
The payment is 50 percent of the amount derived by multiplying the city income tax rate times the new payroll. The minimum payment will be $1,500. That increases by increments of $150 for each additional $20,000 of new payroll, for a maximum incentive payment of $30,000.
If the payroll is more than $4 million, the city can negotiate a new agreement with the employer.
Employers who have Lima residents as more than half of their new jobs are eligible for other incentive payments.

"This book is an excellent resource for students, scholars, and the policy community. It is well written and accessible, and appropriate for course use for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Scholars studying deterrence, the military role of nuclear weapons, and proliferation would all find the author's analysis of use. Finally, policymakers concerned with defense policy and nuclear proliferation would be well advised to take heed of the interaction between the tradition of non-use, nuclear deterrence, and proliferation incentives."International Studies Review
"Paul's framework is a timely and important contribution to the nuclear debate that incorporates valuable perspectives from both the rationalist and ideational perspectives. As the issues of arms control, force structure, and disarmament inevitably become mired in political trench warfare, creative and eclectic thinking on nuclear issues will be at a premium. The Tradition of Non-use of Nuclear Weapons stands to provide an example of the rigorous scrutiny to which classic paradigms must be subjected in the search for real-world policy solutions."Joint Forces Quarterly
"Paul builds on the impressive progress by scholars of deterrence, especially on the crucial concept of reputation. Unlike much of deterrent scholarship, which stresses reputation for credibility, Paul is more concerned with reputation in the form of esteem. Non-use, he argues, is a social norm based on calculation of interest. Like Joseph Nye's work on soft power, Paul sees states restrained by their need for acceptance or support. Time and again, his scholarship reveals decision-makers pre-occupied not by the anguish of violating a moral taboo, but by fear of antagonizing various audiences, above all other states."Contemporary Security Policy
"T.V. Paul has provided a solid, useful explanation of the major sources of that tradition and of the threats to its continuation. Both academics and policy makers would do well to pay attention to his work."Nonproliferation Review
"Paul has produced an excellent book. The central argument that a tradition of non-use has restrained the use of nuclear weapons is well-developed and largely convincing. Although the extent of this influence is, of course, debatable, Paul succeeds in exploring the historical influence and broader implications of the tradition. This book therefore makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature considering the non-use of nuclear weapons."International Affairs
About the Author
T.V. Paul is James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University and Director, University of Montreal-McGill Research Group in International Security. He has published eight books including Balance of Power: Theory and Practice in the 21st Century (with James Wirtz and Michel Fortman, Stanford, 2004).
