Meet the author session follows the Sun. 4/12/15 matinee.
This musical comedy is a microcosm of the loves, beliefs and hardships of everyday life in the saltwater tank. As Marty, the new owner of the micro shrimp kit, follows the steps outlined in the instructions, we see the micro shrimp society come to life. A society that is complete with beliefs that shrimp are meant for a greater good; the other side, from which no shrimp returns; and an unknown deity - a moving light source and a net. They also have sibling rivalry; gangs of no-goodniks and lovers who vow to spend their entire lives together. The system is challenged when one shrimp returns from the "other side" to reveal their true fate: they are but fish food, and the revolt begins. This is their struggle; this is their story! A fun, silly outrageous new musical with tunes that will swim around in your head long after you leave the theatre.

Monday Service Plays
Re: Monday Service Plays
Scott Rickenbach
Dallas Stars @ Columbus Blue Jackets
PICK: Under
This one has all the makings of a fierce, tight, low-scoring battle. The last time these teams met, the Stars pummeled the Blue Jackets and Columbus goalie Steve Mason ended up getting pulled from the game. However, he was suffering with mononucleosis and he's now back and as strong as ever. He and his Blue Jackets teammates will be looking for redemption as a result of that ugly loss. Also, the Stars are looking for redemption themselves after they just lost an ugly 6-2 game at Chicago.
As a result, both of these clubs are coming into this game looking for better defense and better goaltending. Additionally, this is a key game in the battle for the playoffs in the Western Conference. These two teams are tied in the #9 spot in the conference. The Stars Marty Turco has bounced back after a sluggish start to the season and, prior to the ugly loss to the Blackhawks, the Stars had been doing a great job in terms of holding opponents down with solid defense as well as excellent netminding. After a poor effort at Chicago, the Stars bounce back here, including Turco. That means one should consider a small play on the UNDER in Columbus on Monday night.

1 Unit on Siena -4
It's a bit of a down year for the Gaels and Siena won't make the mistake of taking them lightly again after nearly going down to them at home. Siena has dominated this matchup recently, winning all 5 meetings over the last 3 seasons, including a perfect 2-0 SU and ATS at Iona during this time frame. Siena is 7-4 SU at Iona since 1997 and a perfect 8-0 ATS in those lined games. Iona is just 3-11 ATS as a home underdog of 6 points or less or pick over the last 3 seasons and 3-11 ATS in home games revenging a road loss vs opponent over the last 3 seasons. Lay the number.

1 Unit on Pitt/UConn UNDER 135.5
Pitt is a perfect 7-0 UNDER when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) this season. The average point total in these games is 124.9. UConn is 15-5 UNDER in all lined games this season and 10-3 UNDER against conference opponents this season. Each of the last 2 meetings between these teams have gone under easily, with combined scores of 117 and 113. Bet the Under.

Texas at Texas A&M
Since suffering through a three-game SU/ATS losing streak, Texas has turned it around with back-to-back convincing league wins over Oklahoma State and Colorado. Tonight, they'll get a Texas A&M team that is currently mired in a three-game losing streak of its own. The Longhorns are 17-6 ATS the last three seasons off back-to-back conference wins and not to mention beat this same Aggiest team, 67-58, in Austin just last month. Lay the short number.
Play on: Texas
Re: Monday Service Plays
Drew Gordon
Siena at IONA +4
Do not like this spot for Siena, who's coming off a blowout win over Manhattan, and could very well be in for a letdown tonight at Iona. A couple things bother me about this match up, but let's start with their last meeting - a 69-68 Siena SU win, but easy Iona cover as a 10-point road dog. You're very next thought should be: If Iona lost by just 1 point at Siena, what makes you think they can't cover tonight as a slight home dog?!
Situationally, the reverse is true for the Gaels, who got a much needed win at Loyola-Maryland in their last one. Iona shot nearly 48% in that match up and a return home should keep their offense rolling in this one. The Gaels have been up-and-down this season offensively (mostly down), but they proved more than capable in their last meeting with the Saints, and should be even better tonight at home.
From a match up standpoint, I was impressed with the Gaels getting a strong all around effort against Loyola-Maryland, with 5 players contributing 8 points or more. They'll need more of the same tonight, as we know the backcourt duo of Hansbrouck and Ubiles will get their points for Siena, but Iona should be able to counter with another strong effort from their frontcourt.
In the end, these two teams are closer than most people think, despite the difference in their records. Siena has proven plenty beatable on the road (4-7 ATS), and coming off an easy blowout home win could easily have them riding a little too high in the saddle (if you know what I mean). Iona proved a feisty opponent in their last meeting, as Siena barely scrapped by with a SU win, and I suspect they'll be just as feisty tonight at home.
Take Iona plus the points over Siena in this college hoops match up.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Jeff Benton
La. Tech +9' at NEW MEXICO ST.
For starters, New Mexico State has no business laying this kind of chalk against anyone. The Aggies have failed to cover in eight of their last 10 games, all against Western Athletic Conference opponents, and that includes a 1-5 ATS mark at home, all as a favorite. On the other hand, Louisiana Tech might be well below .500 in the standings, but the Bulldogs have been one of the better pointspread teams in the country, going 13-7 ATS overall, 10-4 ATS in the last 14 games, 6-1 ATS in their last seven on the road, 11-5 ATS as an underdog and 9-2 ATS when catching five points or more.
On top of that, La-Tech has cashed in each of its last two trips to Las Cruces, and the underdog is on a 6-2 ATS run in this rivalry.
Throw in the fact that the Bulldogs are 16-5 ATS as a road underdog since last year, 20-8 ATS in their last 28 WAC games and 6-0 ATS in their last six on Monday, and my money's on the undervalued visitor and the better defensive team (La-Tech has held seven of its last eight opponents to 63 points or less).
Re: Monday Service Plays
Matt Rivers
For Monday take Siena on the road.
Iona is clearly an improving program as they are no longer the total dreck they had been over the past few seasons and are somewhat dangerous. But Siena is still the clear superior team and should be able to take care of business today.
The Saints are still the class of the conference at 14-1 and 20-6 overall. Being on the road won't make this thing easy for Fran McCaffery's group but they are a team that is ridiculously battle tested. Siena has already faced off against Tennessee, Wichita State, Pitt, Kansas and Oklahoma State and pretty much played extremely competitive ball in all of those games. They just blasted Manhattan and have an RPI of 28. Guys like Hasbrouck, Ubiles and Franklin should be too good today in outclassing another opponent.
Iona is alright and did have a solid enough road win at Loyola but ultimately they have one guy averaging double figures and the Gaels already played their best ball in the cover a few weeks ago at Siena and still lost the game.
After 40 minutes today the Saints will be too good for this too cheap price!

Today's Selection
What a way to end the week as Boston College not only covered, but they won outright in an upset over Duke yesterday.
Now to build off yesterdays win I like the Longhorns in College Station tonight. Sure neither team is tearing it up right now, but thanks to Texas having won their last pair of games I they are much better than the Aggies here tonight. You see for Texas A&M they have struggled big time in league play as they have lost their last three games overall and 7 of their last 10 games, including an 11 point loss in Austin. Meanwhile, for Texas after losing three straight games they have rebounded to win the last two games as they head into tonight having won 3 of the last 4 series meetings. So with that I expect for the Longhorns to continue to rebound as they sweep the Aggies on the road today. All Texas minus the road chalk!
PICK: Texas Longhorns
Re: Monday Service Plays
Craig Davis
Today's Selection
Charleston is coming off a humiliating 14-point home loss to the Citadel and is coming into a hostile environment tonight.
App. State recently suffered a couple of tough road losses but will welcome the opportunity to come back home where they are 6-5 on the season.
Though the Cougars probably have more overall talent, the Mounties are a tough beat at home and need this win more. Sitting at one game under .500 in the conference you can bet they'll bring the best they have to offer tonight.
We're comfortable laying the point at home as App. State wins by 5 or 6 points.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons
NAS -137 vs OTT
The Senators are finally on a decent run as they've seemed to finally adjust and respond to the Craig Hartsburg firing. However, this looks like the perfect spot for the Sens to get tripped up and we feel solid line value is being offered with the Predators in this spot. Nashville is catching Ottawa when the Senators are playing their fourth road game in six nights. That makes this is a tough spot for the Sens and they have another road game on deck, at Colorado, tomorrow night! As for the Preds, they are playing the finale of a four game home stand and none of the games have been back to back situations. In other words, Nashville is rested and ready here, and they're also enjoying momentum from back to back wins including knocking off the Bruins in their most recent game on Saturday. Take a look at Nashville on Monday night.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Jeff Alexander
1 Unit on Texas/Texas A&M UNDER 131.5
Back-to-back games in this matchup have gone under and I'm expecting another defensive showdown tonight. With Texas winning the first matchup this season it puts the Aggies in a strong unders spot as they are 12-4 UNDER revenging a loss vs. an opponent over the last 2 seasons. Texas A&M is also 11-2 UNDER when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) after 15 or more games over the last 2 seasons. The average score in these games totals 125 points. A&M has gone UNDER in 6 of its last 8 and we'll bet the Under here.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Canisius at Loyola-Maryland
This is a revenge game for Canisius, who got pounded by 24 at home by Loyola-Maryland last month. The logical way of thinking is that if Canisius lost at home by 24 to Loyola-Maryland, then surely Loyola-Maryland can win and cover at home as single digit chalk. If only it were that easy.
Embarrassment is a great motivator and Canisius was embarrassed by Loyola-Maryland in front of their own home crowd. Think Canisius wants to return the favor tonight? Absolutely!
Canisius will be plenty motivated to humiliate Loyola-Maryland in front of their home fans tonight. Loyola-Maryland is just 1-6 ATS at home this season. I'll take the points with Canisius tonight.
Re: Monday Service Plays

Texas A&M Aggies +2
The Aggies are desperate for a win as they come in riding a 3-game losing skid. Take the bucket and Texas A&M at home in the Reed Arena vs. the Texas Longhorns.
A Big 12 battle in the Lone Star State as Texas (17-7) faces off with Texas A&M tonight. Texas comes in winners of their last two games and A&M comes in on a three game skid.
The Aggies started off hot on 14-1 run this year notching a couple of good non-conference wins under their belt. They beat LSU, Alabama, and Arizona. They've gotten off to a bad start in conference play going just 3-7 S.U. They are 6-4 ATS in conference play. Texas has been up and down and hard to read this year. They have some nice quality wins against UCLA, Wisconsin, and Villanova. They are 6-4 in conference play but have posted a struggling 3-7 ATS mark.
Texas hasn't won in College Station since 2004. These games aren't usually close either,seven of the last 10 have been decided by double figures. The Longhorns are 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings here.
We think the Aggies can win the battle in the paint tonight. Bryan Davis (10.6 PPG 6.2 RPG 31 blocks) and Chinemelu Elonu (9.8 PPG 7.4 RPG 44 blocks) have the edge both offensively and defensively against centers Connon Atchley (5.5 PPG 3.7 RPG 37 blocks) and Dexter Pittman (8.7 PPG 4.3 RPG 19 blocks). Gary Johnson (11.3 PPG and 5.9 RPG) is a solid forward for the Longhorns that the Aggies have to concentrate on tonight as well up front. The key matchup though will be when Josh Carter (13.3 PPG) for the Aggies and Damion James (15.5 PPG and 8.5 RPG). Both are tough players who can get the ball to basket and play defense. Carter has been streaky beyond the arc hitting just 36% of his three pointers. He can drive to the hole and draw the foul and is hitting an amazing 87% of his free throws. James won the first battle this year outscoring Carter 28-9.
The first meeting between these two teams A&M shot better from the floor and beyond the arc. It was the foul trouble that Bryan Davis got himself into and they lost his presence in the paint. The Longhorns won the battle on the glass and reeled in 13 offensive boards to A&M's 6 offensive boards. They must be more aggresive tonight in order to win this game. Elonu had 5 blocks for the Aggies in the first meeting and they will need the same defensive play from him again tonight. He also added 12 points and must put up similar numbers tonight.
The Longhorns are shooting just 40% from the floor in Big 12 play on the road this year. If guys like Josh Carter and David Sloan shots are on tonight than that could spell trouble for the Longhorns if they can't get a rhythm going on the road. They are just hitting 26% of there shots from beyond the arc in all road games this year. A.J. Abrams seems to struggle as of late against the Aggies averaging just 8.6 PPG in his past three meetings against them. He is shooting an awful 26% from the field against Texas A&M in those games.
The Longhorns last four visits to College Station they are just shooting 35% from the field, they struggle shooting in this building for some reason. tonight we are going to back the Aggies with the home crowd and the two points.
Pick: Texas A&M +2

To destroy Yusuke and Kuwabara, he's hired nothing less than the Brokers of Darkness. The Brokers are demons. They're so powerful that even the Underworld fears them. And they've got their own plans for Yusuke, plans that will land him and his friends in the center of a demonic battle royale...

The group, known as the American Issues Project, brags it has run ads 7,307 times in 14 markets, calling into question the longstanding relationship between Obama and William Ayers.
"American Issues Project clearly has struck a nerve inside the Obama campaign, but even more important is the reaction of the American people, who are starting to question why Senator Obama would have such a close relationship with an unrepentant domestic terrorist," said Ed Martin, American Issues Project president, on the group's Web site.
On the Democratic side, the powerful Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is running a television ad in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa that links McCain to the nation's struggling economy.
An announcer says in the SEIU ad, "John McCain said 'I know a lot less about economics. I still need to be educated.' No wonder he said we're better off than we were eight years ago. It's time for change."
While Americans routinely tell pollsters they don't like negative attack ads, presidential candidates continue to use them for one reason: they work.
"An effective negative ad can be powerful in changing the public's perception about a candidate," said John Geer, political science professor at Vanderbilt University and author of "In Defense of Negativity," a book about campaign attack ads.
Geer argues the content of negative ads are often more informative to voters about the candidates' records than positive ads with vague assertions touting a candidates' character or leadership skills.
One of the most memorable ads in presidential politics was Lyndon Johnson's 1964 "Daisy Ad" depicting a little girl picking daisies in a field before a nuclear blast to warn against Republican Barry Goldwater's foreign policy positions during the Vietnam war.
Goldwater lost by a landslide. Equally effective was former President George H. W. Bush's "Willie Horton" attack ad painting Michael Dukakis as weak on violent crime.
Geer says negative ads have only intensified in the digital age, allowing campaigns to create an ad and not have to actually purchase expensive television air time for it to get into the public debate.
"The news media give coverage to these more negative campaign ads because they're the ones that get attention," Geer said.
But Geer said negative ads could also backfire.
"The McCain ad suggesting Obama wants to give sex education to kindergartners is pushing the envelope," Geer said, "and it's being shown to be not true."
McCain's negative ads coincide with a more streamlined campaign strategy ushered in by McCain's chief strategist Steve Schmidt, known as "The Bullet" for his shaved head, who is a Rove protege.
Attack ads could also have the unintended side effect of turning off an already cynical American electorate to the presidential campaign.
Geer said the 2008 presidential election campaign has gotten particularly nasty early on.
"I am struck by how much both sides are putting up negative ads this early in the campaign," Geer said.
ABC News' Jake Tapper contributed to this report.

PsycCRITIQUESFor preschool educators as well as interested developmental researchers, Knowledge under Construction offers a succinct, useful introduction to the topic, delineating various aspects of spatial, geometric, and architectural thinking and related theoretical perspectives that can be brought to bear on children's construction play. The book also contains helpful pedagogical features such as a set of topics and questions at the end of each chapter for discussion. Major contributions of the book are in situating this important developmental topic in natural settings (young children's spontaneous construction play) and in pointing to some promising directions regarding how this knowledge can shed light on preschool and elementary education, particularly in science and mathematics.

Haiti Project-Post 3
Haiti Blog Post 3- January 2, 2012- the 9th Day of Christmas
We leave for Haiti in less than 48 hours and I feel lots of emotions. I have never been for three weeks and I think I have a little anxiety about that. I know it will all be fine and I will love every second of my time there. I had the opportunity to Skype with Pere Val and Carmel yesterday. It was wonderful to see their faces and also the excitement in their eyes. They kept repeating to me, don't worry. Just come down here, we can't wait to see you.
Haiti Project-Post 2
Hi Friends,
It is the second day of Christmas and a little over a week away from our trip to Haiti. I heard from Pere Val today and they are very excited about our trip. He asked me specifically to bring some liturgical calendars for 2013. I am happy to oblige! I hope I will be able to Skype with him before our trip to iron out all the details.
Haiti Project-Post 1
I am more than thrilled to announce that my classmate Kellaura Johnson and myself received two grants to travel to Haiti for three weeks in January. We received grants from both the Episcopal Evangelical Society and The Seminary Consultation on Mission. We leave for Haiti on January 4th and will return on January 23rd.

The main reason for the proposed rule change are the problems caused by fraudulent 911 calls made through NSI phones.

How flammable is this foamed magnesium alloy?
A warship full of foamed magnesium would go up like a flare. It even incorporates its own oxidizer in the foam, in the air spaces. Unless they're forming the voids with inert gas.
Unless they've paid some special attention to the flammability issue, a combat vessel made with this stuff would make the Forrestal look like a birthday candle.
By all means offer them a choice, but at their expense.
And while we're at it, make sure the externalities of bottling are fully priced in. As a race, we already use and throw away too many plastic bottles.

Non-trolls recognize that ineffective cheating is cheating nonetheless and fully punishable.
If there's any irony, it's that the Pats cheat so hard when, frankly, they don't have to. They really are that good. But then they cheapen their reputation by being dirty and underhanded.

An audit by Equifax found that hospital bills totaling more than $10,000 contained an average undocumented "because STFU" surcharge of $1,300.

Free Software is free of those, too. If I'm doing what I'm doing because I want to do it, I don't give a metric ratfuck about your ideas of efficiency.
Thanks. I work in a bondage-and-domination efficiency-driven profit-based business culture for my meager pay. Don't try to "improve" my free time that way too.
That's nice. Now you have a head attached to a dying body stuck in an iron lung.
Not to mention that it does nothing for every other organ failing for lack of functional innervation. Which is all of them.
Hell, if you're going to this much trouble, just attach the head directly to artificial life support. More effective, far simpler, and less limited than your preferred solution.
"paralyzed from the neck down" == "suffocating in minutes", since all respiratory impulses are carried on the somatic spinal nerves controlling the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles. Never mind the fact that severed autonomic nerves means no information from or control of any organs: digestive system shuts down, heart never responds to physiologic need and could spontaneously fibrillate... most organ systems shut down.
Sorry, it's absolutely required to effectively re-fuse the entire spinal cord plus the independent segments of the parasympathetic nervous system (such as the vagus nerve) through the dissection plane. Otherwise, you're just attaching a head to a dying body.
Above anything, I would like people to say, 'Okay, she's human.
I'd insist on a genetic test before believing even that, from her.
A genetic test would probably reveal that she is, in fact, a cancer. A walking, talking, lying, murdering, moneymaking malignant tumor.

When it comes to getting dressed, I like surprise details. Especially when it comes to the tried-and-true. Take the little black dress for example. This particular dress has been with me for almost 8 years now. I've worn it to weddings, formal affairs, cocktail parties – and it might have even been part of a Halloween costume. At first look, I appear to be a pretty boring fashion blogger. Black on black – real inventive, Fore Front Fashion! Reeeal inventive! But though I appear to be all business in the front, the real party is in the back:
The cut-out back was the reason I purchased this dress. I love purchasing a timeless piece that's got a detail that elevates it. And my boring old black pumps? Pow! A pop of bright cobalt thanks to my flower shoe clips from Domestically Urban. It's these types of details that make dressing fun. Every time it comes to buying a new item of clothing, versatility is something I'll splurge on. A little black dress in a classic silhouette is something every woman should own. The wearing options (and potential surprise details) are endless.

Is it possible to generate iptables firewall rules using Firestarter for a system other than the one that it is running on?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I don't think you can do this with Firestarter, but if you are looking for this type of capability you might want to check out Firewall Builder (http://www.fwbuilder.org/).
You could generate the config you want on the local machine, run iptables-save, copy the resulting file over to the remote machine and iptables-restore (iptables-load, maybe?) the file over there. It's a few more steps than normal, but would work.

The sickening ruthlessness in which entire populations are infected or destroyed is alarming to the TEC, Advent and Vasari alike. If the Plague wasn't enough they were immediately followed yet another race calling themselves the Nephilim. The initial encounter with the "Nephilim" held promise they would unite in defeating the Plague. However, Initial attempts at diplomacy have failed as the Nephilim seem single purposed in their pursuit of the Plague.

Developments in ceramic technology are providing industry with ever-increasing high-temperature solutions. This trend has placed increased demand on developers of analytical instruments to provide systems capable of the measurement of various parameters at these higher temperatures.
Temperatures above 1750°C are defined as high temperature because of the mechanical challenges that going over this temperature presents. Up to 1750°C, analytical furnaces are typically lined with alumina, which acts as a barrier to aggressive environments. Above 1750°C, alumina loses its desired mechanical properties and limits most commercially available thermal analysis systems.
However, a new system* has been developed that offers many benefits for ceramic applications. The system's most important feature is a graphite furnace that can control temperatures up to 2400°C, enabling the high-temperature analyses the industry depends on. An additional benefit is that the system features a modular design. The furnace and gas control system are common between all of the measurement techniques, allowing for the key sensor to be changed by the operator and enabling a number of different critical mechanical property measurements, including thermogravimetric analysis, thermomechanical analysis and differential thermal analysis.
*Setsys Evolution, developed by Setaram Inc., Pennsauken, N.J.
Thermogravimetric AnalysisOne of the most common thermal techniques, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is defined as the measurement of mass variation within control temperature environments. The effects that can be studied are wide and include decarbonation (loss of CO2), loss of water, oxidation, reduction, and adsorption and desorption studies.
The new system offers a symmetrical balance beam,** which, within the inclusion of a counter weight, enables samples of up to 35 g to be studied without any loss of balance resolution. Data obtained using samples that are heterogeneous or show very small mass loss can be greatly improved over traditional methods.
The following example illustrates the classic reaction of silicon nitride (Si3N4) with carbon to prepare silicon carbide (SiC). A mixture of Si3N4 and carbon in a 1:6 ratio is heated in a graphite crucible under helium flow, and two successive mass losses are observed (see Figure 1). Between 1100 and 1300°C, a mass loss of approximately 1% corresponds to the reaction of the reduction of the layer of silica that is at the surface of Si3N4 :
SiO2 + 3 C → SiC + 2 CO↑
And between 1300 and 1500°C, a mass loss of approximately 26% corresponds to the final reaction from silicon nitride into silicon carbide and nitrogen:
Si3N4 + 3 C → 3 SiC + 2 N2↑
**Setsys Microbalance.
Thermomechanical AnalysisThermomechanical analysis (TMA), defined as the measurement of any dimensional variation under controlled conditions, is another widely used technique. Classic applications include the measurement of a material's softening point and coefficient of expansion. The most common application is the measurement of sintering behavior. The sample volume decreases as sintering occurs because the powdered sample becomes more closely associated.
The unique design of the new system also allows for vertical measurement, which enables the operator to apply zero retaining force so there is no compaction of the powdered sample prior to sintering. With horizontally designed measurement, some force is always required. This force changes the density of the sample and therefore adversely effects the detection and evaluation of dimensional changes during sintering.
In the following example, the production of dense SiC using pressureless sintering is studied. The sample is an α-SiC cube(9 mm) under an argon atmosphere and a small load of 5 g. The sample is baked at 480°C for three hours and then heated to 2200°C at 15 k/min. The curve in Figure 2 clearly shows a global expansion between ambient and 1310°C. Above 1310°C, shrinkage due to the sintering of the SiC is clearly evident and is completed at approximately 1815°C. The global shrinkage of the sample after cooling is approximately 2.7%.
Differential Thermal AnalysisDifferential thermal analysis (DTA) is the simultaneous measurement of the temperature difference between a sample and a reference under an identical environment. Therefore, any phase transitions that are not accompanied by a mass change or endothermic or exothermic dimensional variation (i.e., melting) can be shown.
If the system is correctly calibrated, the energy associated with this transition can also be reported. In the following example, yttria shows two exothermic effects after cooling from 2400°C (see Figure 3). The first is crystallization after melting, and the second is a phase transition. Understanding these transitions is critical for any research project, and in this case both occur above 1750°C, which is the limit of most analytical furnaces.
Hot StuffWhile the characterization of ceramic sample behavior through thermal analysis has long been understood, the limitations of traditional equipment have hampered analyses beyond the 1750°C temperature range. However, recent advances in thermal analysis equipment are enabling ceramic manufacturers to gather vital information on a range of mechanical properties-from sintering and enthalpies of phase transitions to mass variations during reactions-at temperatures of up to 2400°C.

The group, Don't Dump on Northeast (DDONE), was seeking a court ruling that would make it illegal for the city to operate a waste facility at 340 27th Ave. NE, city-owned property that is zoned for medium industrial.
Peterson ruled that since the city had not yet finalized a proposal for a facility, the complaint was premature and residents would have the chance to weigh in during the city's permitting process.
DDONE's attorney, Jim Peters, said the complaint, even though it was dismissed, has changed the city's approach to the project.
"The neighbors feel like the city has moved its position, and if that's the net result of this case, I think it's positive for everybody, particularly the neighborhood," Peters said.
The city and Hennepin County are trying to build a facility where residents can bring electronics and hazardous wastes, such as paints, oils, aerosol cans, pesticides and other flammable liquids.
The city says only 5 percent of Minneapolis residents are using existing facilities that the county operates in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington. By having a drop-off center in the city, officials hope to prevent hazardous materials from ending up in landfills.
DDONE, however, says such a facility doesn't belong on a medium industrial — or I-2 — property, rather in heavy industrial area, per city ordinance. Many of their property lines touch the property lines of the site, and they're concerned about the influx of trucks and traffic.
Further, some of the DDONE member say hazardous wastes should be collected like they are with car batteries — at the place where the materials are purchased.
DDONE is fighting a decision last summer by the city's zoning administrator, Steve Poor. Poor ruled that the facility was allowed on an I-2 parcel, and the Zoning Board of Appeals upheld his decision.
Their complaint alleges that the city plans to use the site as a waste transfer facility, not a recycling facility, since the materials dropped off will be transferred to other sites for processing.
City Attorney Susan Segal said the city has been consistent that the facility will be a recycling center, which is allowed on an I-2 parcel. The city argued that while some of the materials dropped off at the facility would not be recycled, transferring waste would be an ancillary use.
The complaint also alleges that the city has spent more than $2 million on acquiring the site and studying it.
In the city's motion to dismiss the case, officials acknowledges that that waste transfer or disposal facility is prohibited on an I-2 parcel.
Peters says the DDONE group will keep a close eye on the projects permitting process to make sure the city stands by its claim that I-2 property does not become a waste transfer facility.
"That's why you may hear about this again," Peters said. "Was the city conclusively taking that position, or were they just saying that to get around these court proceedings? Time will tell."
Dziedzic cruises to easy victory in Senate District 59
Kari Dziedzic easily won a special election on Jan. 10 to become the next state senator to represent Northeast and parts of Southeast Minneapolis.
Dziedzic (DFL) took 79 percent of the vote while Republican Ben Schwanke collected 19 percent.
In total, only 4,273 votes were cast on an unseasonably warm January day. That's less than 10 percent of the 45,000 registered voters in Senate District 59.
Dziedzic, who takes over for long-time senator Larry Pogemiller, will join the Legislature for the 2012 session, which begins Jan. 24.

Hi Bruce,
I'm gonna give you the long answer, because the short answer is not very intuitive, and won't make much sense.
Without out a physical exam, just going by what you are saying, the problem isn't located in your hands. It's not intuitive at all, but the tingling/numbness sensation you feel in your hands, indicates a nerve compression, irriration, or entrapment, somewhere, along the branch of nerves leading to your hand.
The most likely locations are where there is joint movement, so that's the areas with all the pesky little tie in muscles around the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. The are also some likely trouble spots where the nerves travel through the big muscles in the bicep, tricep and forearm.
To locate the trouble spots, and for tingling there is always a minimum of two, a physician will use a series of movement tests, palpation, x-rays, and or MRI, as well as just kind of hearing from you what's happening.
So the tingling is a nerve thing, not a muscle thing. Icing is a muscle thing to reduce swelling.
Since the problem isn't located in your hands, heat or ice in that location will nether help or harm you, its a complete non issue. You probably enjoy the feeling of warmth there, because well... people like the feeling of warmth. A warm bath feels a whole lot more comforting than a cold bath. However, if the problem is related to nerve irritation somewhere in the wrist, then you want to avoid heat anywhere near that area, as that will promote swelling, and create even less space for the nerve to travel in that location.
Heat therapy, alternating with cold, might be useful to you somewhere down the road, when you are in the physical therapy stage, and working on buliding strength. It promotes blood flow, and brings nutrients to the trouble spots. That a good thing but that's not where you are right now. You are in phase one, and inflammation is your enemy #1 right now. The only exception to this rule is that a soak in an epson salt solution will reduce swelling, and warm water works a little bit better than cold, to bring the key ingredient (magnesium) into the body.
Since you've not had a physicians diagnosis, which would indicate more clearly the trouble spots of nerve impingement, since he's just sent you home with anti-inflammatories, (typical) I would recco icing anywhere from your wrist to your neck where you are feeling pain. Keeping an ice bag in one spot for 10 minutes can actually cause minor frostbite, so its good to kind of move it around anyways. Ice up for as many hours as you can thru out the day (6-8 times would be super awesome) but for never longer than 10 minutes per hour.
I have a little more to add. But I'm out the door for a doubles match this morning. Didn't want to leave you hanging with questions unanswered. I'll keep checking in. Hang in there my brutha.

Rather, its most distinct feature is a glorious spread of 3840 x 2160 pixels which is, ironically, also the source of its biggest issues.

Is there a Modi wave?
There is one in Varanasi. And it breached the bunds on Thursday when Narendra Modi flew in to file his nomination papers for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat. Wave after wave of his supporters, sporting saffron caps with the 'Modi For PM' legend, thronged the 3km route he took. By the time he reached the district and sessions court, where he was to file the papers, they were like ants on an anthill, with BJP flags bristling in the air, shouting, 'Har Har Modi, Ghar Ghar Modi.'
By far it was the most impressive show of strength by any party in the fray for the seat in this Lok Sabha election. "The Modi wave just became a tsunami," said BJP's UP prabharak (in-charge) Amit Shah soon after. "The Modi wave will wash away the Congress, SP and the BSP from Uttar Pradesh."
Modi was no less pleased. "I am overwhelmed. The people of Varanasi have showered their love on me," said Modi, as he stepped in to file his nomination papers. "No one sent me here. I didn't come here on my own. I was called by Ganga Ma to Varanasi. I am like the son who has returned to his mother's lap. I want to serve the people of Varanasi. May Kashi emerge as the spiritual capital of the world."
The roadshow started from Patelia Chowk in the heart of the city, where Modi garlanded a statue of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, then wound its way through Nadesar, Andhrapaul, Lahurabir and Cantt localities.
The entire route was awash with the Great Unwashed of Varanasi, heads covered in Modi caps, many faces just masks of Modi, women wearing saffron 'BJP saris' and men sporting 'Modi for PM' t-shirts.
They had come from far and near, from the city and from the rural areas of the constituency. Riding motorcycles, young men cried hoarse shouting, "Ab ki baar Modi sarkar." The police left them alone though there were checkpoints and barriers erected at various places to keep cycle-rickshaws, Kashi's main mode of transport, from entering certain zones.
Earlier in the morning, Modi's chopper dropped him pat into the Benares Hindu University (BHU) campus, where he paid floral tributes to Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, who was a four-time president of the Congress Party, and whose son, a retired judge of the Allahabad high court, was one of the four men who proposed his name on Thursday to the returning officer.
There were unconfirmed reports that after Modi left BHU for Kashi Vidyapeeth, to garland the statue of Swami Vivekanand, some Congressmen "washed" Malviya's statue to rid it of the Modi stain.
All the while, thousands waited for Modi to emerge on the road for the roadshow to begin. They sat on rooftops, hung from balconies and stood precariously on walls with sharp iron pikes on them. There was always the fear of a stampede and a young man warned his friend that the trick lay in "not falling but going with the crowd". The heat was unbearable at 38 degree Celsius though in the shade of trees and awnings of buildings, it was cool. Mineral water bottles were much in demand but the supply soon ran out.
Finally, after many false alarms, Modi's helicopter was "spotted", and then a little later Modi himself waved to a crowd from an open truck. Dressed in a white kurta-pyjama, he stopped long enough to garland Patel's statue before setting out to kachcheri. BJP workers from the city's 90 wards followed him. It was a sea of BJP flags all the way. People stood in balconies and on rooftops all along the route to get a glimpse of the BJP's prime ministerial candidate. The route was entirely a BJP street. Almost every third house had a BJP flag flying and people — men, women and children — in the balconies sported the saffron 'Modi for PM' caps.
It was a spectacle. And a vision for any set of BJP eyes.
At the district and sessions court, there was elaborate security arrangement, with even the media not allowed in to witness the filing process. Only a couple of chosen media got that privilege. But Modi gave the byte the media was looking for. He spoke of the Ganga and what needs to be done to get the river cleaned. "I'll make it just like Sabarmati," he said.
Aside from Madan Mohan Malaviya's grandson, Giridhar Malaviya, other Modi proposers included Padma Vibhushan Chhandu Lal Mishra, a noted classical singer of Benaras, boatman Virbhadra Nishad and a weaver named Ashok. Symbolism aside, the BJP wanted to send the right message to the electorate and its rival with the choice of "proposers".
Missing from the list was, of course, tea vendor Pappu chaiwallah. In any case, Thursday was a day for cold drinks, not hot tea. That would come later in the evening.

The sweet smell of Provence in a bottle
Almost all of the ingredients in skincare and beauty products trace their origins to plants and fruits, which were later on synthesized and mimicked in a laboratory.
Lately, though, more and more women have begun to educate themselves on the difference between synthetic and natural, and as we become more conscious of what we ingest and apply, a demand for a wholesome natural alternative for beauty products has intensified.
Julie Ducret, founder of Pulpe de Vie, spent 10 years immersed in the natural beauty of Africa, and her experience would bring her back to Aix-en-Provence in France, exploring the benefits of fruits to the skin, with research culminating in the creation of Pulpe de Vie, an organic skincare line with the Ecocert stamp of approval (a stamp given only to products that are free of GMOs, paragons, silicon, PEG, synthetic perfumes, dyes and animal-derived ingredients, and contained in biodegradable or recyclable packaging).
Pulpe de Vie's face and body products contain around 50-94 percent organic ingredients, a high number when compared to other brands. "We also have one of the highest numbers of fresh fruit content in our products, around 20 percent," says Ducret. Because of its all-natural composition, the products are highly recommended for those with sensitive skin and oily skin. The products are also free of essential oils, some of which cause allergic reactions or prohibited for pregnant women (Ducret guarantees the line safe for expectant women to use).
Fruits that take center stage in Pulpe de Vie's potions are grapefruit, which Ducret says is good for cleansing and purifying skin from toxins; peach, which helps skin glow; and tomatoes, which are high in polyphenols. Because of the high fruit content, the products have a subtle, fruity scent that helps perk you up. They also smell good enough to eat, while the day moisturizer has a creamy, yogurt-like consistency.
Ducret is also a proponent of the multi-benefit beauty product. "We want our products to deliver as much goodness as they can, like our 3-in-1 cooling eye mask, which helps de-puff eyes while lightening dark circles and preventing wrinkles," she adds.
The body moisturizer, a blackcurrant and grapefruit concoction, contains glycerin, yogurt proteins and a touch of mica, which gives skin a subtle sparkle—perfect for nights out when you want to show some skin.
Of the skincare line, Ducret's favorites include Cozy Cuddle radiant face cream ("It really makes your skin glow!) and Sweet Frappe mask and face scrub. "It helps make skin smoother, you apply it dry, massage on your skin and, when you add water, it melts into a milk that will make your skin soft," adds Ducret.
In an effort to reduce the product's carbon footprint, all ingredients are wholly sourced from farmers in Provence, from the prickly pear, honey and beeswax infused in their lip balm to the apricot kernels crushed into the repairing face mask and scrub.
Each purchase also helps support Un Toit Pour Les Abeilles, an organization which helps protect the bees, whose population has been diminishing over time.
Pulpe de Vie is available at Rustan's The Beauty Source.

Newly Published Summer Camp Health Guideline Advises Parents, Camp Directors
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – In just a few short weeks, 10 million American children will start heading off to summer camp. But before they go, health experts are issuing strong new advice to both parents and camp directors, and recommending new precautions to protect campers' health.
For instance, the experts say, parents should make sure to ask camp officials now what kinds of health services, including emergency response, their child's camp has in place. Campers should provide, and camps should require, a full health exam and list of any medications that campers use — and let children have immediate access to emergency drugs for asthma and allergies. And parents shouldn't see camp as a time to give kids a "holiday" from drugs for behavior issues or mental health issues.
Even homesickness, a common psychological malady for campers, can be prevented with a little effort by parents and doctors in the weeks before camp.
The new guideline, published in the June issue of the journal Pediatrics, was written by a team led by a University of Michigan Health System physician who specializes in camp health. Edward Walton, M.D., FAAP, FACEP, is lead author of the paper, which is an official policy statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics and was produced in conjunction with the American Camp Association.
"Summer camp, whether it's day camp or sleep-away, can be a great experience for children — but it's crucial that parents, camp officials and medical professionals work together to make it as safe and problem-free as possible for children," says Walton, a clinical assistant professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine in the U-M Medical School who has studied camp health for 18 years. "We hope this new guideline can help with that process."
Walton and U-M colleagues recently published a study in the journal Wilderness & Environmental Medicine showing that almost half of camp health officers reported caring for children with significant medical needs, including diabetes, asthma, attention deficit disorder and epilepsy. But 44 percent of the camp health officers had medical training at the paramedic level or less, and 40 percent said it would take an ambulance more than 10 minutes to get to their camp. More than 70 percent said the hospital that would receive an injured or ill camper was small or rural.
In light of these statistics, Walton advises parents and camp officials to communicate openly, early and often about any health problems a child has or might face at camp, how the camp would respond, and how parents can be reached in an emergency.
The new policy statement for the first time advises parents to thoroughly assess whether a camp is right for their child's mental, emotional and physical well-being, as well as their interests and skills.
That means, Walton says, that camps should provide parents with a complete picture of what their programs involve, whether it's strenuous sports, rough wilderness camping, horseback riding — or intense music or computer practice. If an activity raises risk for kids with certain medical conditions, for instance scuba diving and asthma, camps should tell parents about those risks ahead of time.
Homesickness prevention, the authors write, should start weeks before a child goes off to camp, and can be led by parents with the help of the doctor or other health care provider who performs the child's pre-camp health assessment.
"If parents discuss camp positively, avoid expressing doubts about a child's ability to avoid homesickness, involve the child in preparations for camp, and arrange brief trips or sleep-overs away from home, children will be better prepared to go to camp," says Walton. "Parents should also avoid making pre-arranged plans with their children about picking them up if they get homesick."
With the new guideline, the AAP also recommends that its members — the pediatricians who treat many of America's children — get involved with camps in their local area to make sure that health policies and standing orders are up-to-date. They can also act as medical backups to the nurses and paramedic-trained camp health officers on site at camps — instead of the local emergency room or urgent care center, which Walton's study found was the case 75 percent of the time.
Preparing for rapid and effective response to emergencies is a major part of camp health, Walton explains, because of all the injuries and acute illnesses that can strike campers while they're pursuing new physical activities and interacting with new environments.
While the AAP policy statement does not recommend that all camps purchase an automatic external defibrillator (AED) to re-start stopped hearts, it does say that camps that choose to purchase the devices should make sure camp staff are trained to use them in accordance with local regulations. The AAP does recommend that all camps have staff who can administer first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and that waterfront supervisors be certified in CPR.
The increasing numbers of children who have asthma and allergies also bring new challenges for camps. The new guideline recommends that parents teach their children how to use rescue inhalers or EpiPens (allergy-calming epinephrine injection devices) long before the kids go to camp, and to work with camp officials to specify what situations might require children to use the devices. And camp officials are advised to allow children who know how to use such devices to carry them or have them nearby at all times.
"The delay that can occur when another camper or counselor has to run to the camp nurse's office to grab an inhaler for a child who is having an asthma attack or an EpiPen for a child who has been stung by a bee can have real health consequences," says Walton.
The new guideline does not give detailed recommendations for camps that serve only children with special medical circumstances, such as cancer, physical disabilities, blindness, deafness or diabetes. But it recommends that camps work with local pediatricians and health professionals to assess children's fitness to take part in such camps, and establish programs specific to them.

According to the same regulatory filing, the Company is also named a defendant in a number of Wright hip lawsuits involving the Profemur Total Hip Replacement System. Wright also warned investors that the July 2012 Stryker hip recall for Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems had led to increased scrutiny of cobalt chrome modular neck products, something which could negatively impact Profemur sales.*
On March 20, 2013, a Joint Notice of Settlement was filed with the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, that indicated the company had reached a Wright hip lawsuit settlement in at least one claim pertaining to the Profemur hips. (Tucker, et ux. v. Wright Medical Technology, Inc., et al., No. 4:11-cv-03086)
