Style: Judo. Some BJJ/Kickboxing--
1. push kick
2. jab
3. covering block (also known as the 'answer the phone' block)
4. Clinch work (double underhooks and/or thai clinch, I suppose)
5. Rear naked choke
6. Osoto-gari
7. Hook
8. Thai kick to the leg or knee
9. Headbutt
10. Elbow escape from mount
In no particular order.
The idea being if you get in a fight use your jab to discourage your opponent, a hook if they don't go down. Stop haymakers with the covering block. If you don't want to punch them, kick their lead leg and run.
If you need to, go for a dominant clinch and then either osoto-gari them into the ground or go for a standing RNC once you slip to a rear clinch. Alternataivley, clinch them and headbutt while holding their head.
If someone takes you down and they're untrained you'll probably end up mounted. Hopefully you clinch will protect you from some takedowns, but **** happens. Use the elbow escape to get some room. You'll need to ad-lib you way from a guard situation to standing, but against an untrained person you should be okay.
Main goal: Incapacitate attacker with jab, thai kick to leg, or hook (as needed) and escape or follow up.
If fight starts at close range clinch and RNC, throw or headbutt, the escape and follow up as needed.
If you somehow end up mounted, know how to escape and then move on to clinch or strikes.

A man who has carefully trained for brilliant tapping play, will find himself considerably out of it in case he is called upon to do any real work."

This is my basic "moron" list for someone with NO clue.
1: button up (peek-a-boo guard)/Bob and weave
2. Bridge and roll
3. Proper clinch
4. Knees
5. Elbows
6. Double leg
7. Guard pull
8. Scissor sweep
9. Jab/cross/hook
10. O soto gariAnd lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings. And Kano spake: "Do not be concerned with the mote in thy neighbor's eye, when verily thou hast a massive stick in thine ass".
--Scrolls of Bujutsu: Chapter 5 vs 10-14.
Style: MMA--
Are we talking self defense for women? Or in general?
1. How to break various grips and grabs (always go against the thumb) in regards to women because most often they are grabbed.
2. Bridge and Roll
3. Mount Escapes.
4 Elbows, Knees (short range striking)
5. Guard sweeps
6. Peek a boo/Bob and weave
7. Osoto Gari
8. Sprawl (really should be like number 2 or 3)
9. Escape from Clinch/Clinch (dirty boxing, delivering strikes from the clinch)
10. Improvised weapons, rocks, glass, keys, pepper spray etc.

I can't believe half the people are completly ignoring the sprawl, breaking grips on you (more a skill then a technique), push kick, and everyone underestimates the kick to the balls.
Now most importantly what are the 10 best technqiues to know if you are the one doing the attacking/robbing
Fear and bullets.

I assumed that this attack was in the form of a robbery or generic assault, in which case, the double leg is less likely to occur in the traditional manner. Sprawl is on my list...just not my top 10. Defiantely 11, though.
Like most grappling types, I think position is more imortant than grip fighting, hence I do not prioritze grip fighting. If you are wearing clothes...he'll get his grip eventually. I would rather see a beginner able to clinch properly in this scenario.
Knees can be thrown to the balls, hence I like them...I'm just not picky about targets with beginners.And lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings.

+[USAWC Key Srategic Issues List (KSIL)]
Brief Synopsis
In today's dynamic strategic environment, political changes can become challenges very quickly. Any list of key strategic issues must, therefore, include the broadest array of regional and functional concerns. This is a catalogue of significant issues, arranged as potential research topics, of concern to U.S. policymakers. KSIL entries are intended to be general enough for researchers to modify or expand appropriately, and to adapt to a variety of methodologies. While the list of general topics is broad, it is neither comprehensive nor restrictive. Researchers are encouraged to contact any of the SSI points of contact, or those found in the Expanded KSIL, for further information regarding their desired topics. These points of contact are not necessarily subject experts, but can recommend experts or additional sponsors.

It was for 50, all right.
Fifty thousand.
Now, I really wanted to weep.
The import of what had just happened sunk in. Evergreen-Cedar needs $2,500 a month to survive. In one second, it had gone from a questionable existence to a real future.
It was hard to concentrate as the evening's program, a lecture about Frida Kahlo and an update on Evergreen-Cedar. A sense of calm has descended on the historically troubled neighborhood. Kids are reading, parents are learning to parent, crime is way down. The drug-trade has almost completely moved out, said Pastor Kevin Brown, who, as a police officer in the 1980s, personally busted dealers there.
On Thursday, I called the donors to thank them. Dykema was out, but Musco, 87, picked up even though it sounded like he was in a meeting at the precious metals-extraction business where he's made his fortune.
"I thought you meant fifty dollars," I told him.
"Well, send it back," he joked, "and I'll give you fifty bucks."
I told him, as I will Dykema, that I want to take him to the center to show him the good he is doing. He'd never see $50,000 go farther, I promised.
We will, he said. But, he insisted, "I did tell you 50 thousand."
I dug out his email. It read, "I pledge 50 K to start." I guess I'd read right over the "K" because it was set off by a space.
Two lessons: 1: Read Musco emails more carefully (no telling what I've turned down from him in the past). 2: When you're a bagman, use a bag.

In previous posts I have shared thoughts on how to be realistic about Samoa's Tourism troubles (the perceived crisis is actually just 'situation normal' here); the role of leadership (essentially politicians and bureaucrats are not business people); how to think strategically (a real mission for Samoans who have had a highly ordered life for generations); three practical steps for tourism operators to help themselves (develop niche markets, create strong productisation and work collaboratively) and the importance of applying creativity (again a mission for people who in the main only do anything if they have to, and pretty much leave their thinking to their leaders), but I cautioned that meaningful change is unlikely here due to leadership and cultural issues (best summarised by the somewhat obnoxious but accurate phrase 'proud people').
In this post I finish my commentary on Samoan Tourism by detailing the key to getting it right when moving forward, that of plugging into what I believe is God's primary strategic purpose for Samoa, sacrificial giving in faith. If we get this right, then we will be acting with wisdom. It's a hard message (to both elicidate and probably to receive). [Read more…]
Over the 3 1/2 years I've lived, worked and played in Samoa I've seen many opportunities to lift Samoa and Samoan Tourism at a local, regional and national level. Projects to develop better marketing of great resorts, natural resources and tourism-related experiences need not be complex or expensive but usually require vision, commitment and in many cases cooperation.
Most of them therefore have remained simply ideas, for Samoa struggles with all three.
While there are tourists who prefer to remain aloof, and to see the Samoan people and culture from a distance, most visitors to Samoa wish to engage. Building relationships is central to the Samoan culture and fits naturally with the desires of the market. Building and maintaining relationships needs to be systematised at a country/industry level.
Voluntourism is a growth industry worldwide – the combination of tourism and volunteering. Sitting somewhere uncomfortably between corporate, NGOs, Religious and government endeavours, voluntourism can be formalised (like VSA, Peace Corp, AusAid or SWAP) or it can be as simple as a direct barter between a willing offshore donor and a recipient business in Samoa (I'll help you with your [needed goods/services], if you give me a cheap/free holiday, sort of thing).
One of the simplest ways to increase the health of a business is by value -adding. Applicable at all levels from a simple street vendor through all aspects of the tourism industry to a national level. I explain this important business principle and how it can be applied and used practically in Samoa.
A Samoa Day, an internationally recognised day to celebrate the people, country and culture of Samoa has merit, and if developed creatively, carefully and with intelligent use of available resources will generate plentiful goodwill and clean business for Samoa.
Strategy is simply planning to achive a stated purpose or goal – working out HOW to get something done. Sadly, to put it simply, STA has consistently failed to develop wise strategies.
George Pitt of Rarotonga has written an opinion piece in the Samoa Observer*, "Tourism crisis solution – ban reporting of it".
There are some good words in his piece although I object to some solutions he proposes.
My commentary follows.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is serving his jail-term for illegally possessing arms in the 1993 Bombay blasts has been let out once again on a 30-day parole by Jail authorities at Pune's high-profile Yerwada jail.
This parole was granted after the actor filed an application on grounds that his wife Maanyata was unwell. The permission was granted by Pune's Divisional Commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh.
The only condition of this 30-day parole is that Dutt has to report to Khar police station twice a week. Prior to this, Dutt was granted two weeks leave in October on medical grounds which was again extended by two weeks. He finally returned to jail on 30 October 2013.
In its March 21 verdict, the apex court dismissed Sanjay's plea seeking review of its judgement and asked him to complete his remaining jail sentence of 42 months.
Twitteratis lashed out against this development with tags such as #RIPJustice and #RIPIndianJudiciary. There was an influx of tweets directed at the justice system and disparity between treatment meted out to cases involving celebrities and poor citizens.
The angst was very much evident as many were seen questioning the grounds on which the parole was granted. Here are some of the tweets:
Won't be surprised if this Criminal Sanjay Dutt will be released next year.. All thanks to his sister Priya Dutt who is a Congress MP.

Dirty Mind
by Prince
Released: Oct 1980
Label: Rhino/Warner Bros.
When critics called Prince a "punk rocker," they could have been swooning over a young tyro clad in a trench coat and black underwear. Or they could have been dazzled by a fearless lyricist that sings affectingly about a broken ménage-a-trois ("When You Were Mine"), claims he had sex with his "Sister," and turns a song about fellatio into an R&B hit ("Head"). This is brilliantly perverse funk from "Uptown" Minneapolis, but what's really impressive is its primitiveness. Nearly every guitar scratch and synthesizer squiggle was made by him, and there are no filters to his imagination.

Aurora theater shooting & disgusting questions about The Dark Knight Rises box office
We understand that media outlets doing wall-to-wall coverage of last night's shooting at the Aurora Town Center Century 16 during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rise have to look at every possible angle of the story.
But excuse me for being repulsed by stories speculating about whether the bloodshed will hurt the movie's chances for a blockbuster opening weekend.
The statement issued by Dark Knight Rises studio Warner Bros. on behalf of the company and the filmmakers, including director Christopher Nolan, wisely avoids any reference to filthy lucre. It reads:
Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time.
In recent hours, however, we're seeing more and more stories like the Fox News post "Could Colorado theater massacre hurt The Dark Knight Rises at the box office?" Among its bon mots: a comment from an industry source who thinks the flick may fall short of the $200 million mark for the weekend (oh no!), a reference to a stock-market dip for theater stocks (the horror!) and the suggestion that a post-rampage increase in security at movie complexes could lead to an increase in ticket prices (typical).
Such subjects have a certain legitimacy, I suppose, and there's no question an event of this magnitude may have an impact on pop culture. After the 1999 attack on Columbine High School, Marilyn Manson was pilloried because killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were supposedly fans, Buffy the Vampire Slayer delayed an episode that had a school-shooter theme, and so on.
But is it too much to ask that questions about the size of the mintThe Dark Knight Rises will generate over the next couple of days wait at least until the ten bodies currently in theater nine at the Aurora Century 16 are removed?
Apparently so.

Physics Degree Plan
The McMurry Physics Major
As you plan out your undergraduate career, you will want to have some idea of where you are going. The intention of this webpage is to outline the courses which you will need in an order that satisfies the prerequisite courses for each. Please be aware that the courses listed are not offered every semester nor every year.
As discussed on the Physics Curriculum page, the study of physics requires a strong mathematics background. Computers are also of great importance to physics and physics majors are advised to take courses in computer programming languages, especially FORTRAN and/or C.
For the degree requirements of the physics major and the physics minor, please refer to the McMurry University Catalog (pdf).
The Degree Plan
Since we cannot offer every course every year, we have a worked out a schedule which provides a suggested order so that you can satisfy the necessary prerequisites before the appropriate course. The bold-faced courses need to be where they are either to satisfy a prerequisite or because they are only offered every other year. The first schedule is for those who enter in the fall of an odd-numbered year (and will graduate in the spring of an odd-numbered year). The second schedule is for those who enter in the fall of an even-numbered year (and will graduate in the spring of an even-numbered year).
Obviously, you will need to select your General Education
but these will depend on your interests. You will be assigned an
advisor who can help guide you through the choices.

Aoraki/Mt Cook Alpine Lodge: Aoraki/Mt Cook Alpine Lodge
During our trip to Mount Cook National Park, we were breaking up our drive from Queenstown to Christchurch, so we decided to spend two nights in the park itself. We chose the Aoraki/Mt Cook Alpine Lodge. It seemed to be the least expensive of the options there, and yet it was a really nice accommodation. We went in the off-season, and so although we had only rented one room with four beds, the reservation lady did not mind if we took two of the bedrooms so Sarah and I could have a separate room from her parents. Our favorite part about this lodge however was the activity/common room for all the guests, which had a great little kitchen and a spectacular view of Mt. Cook from a very large set of windows (pictured here). Due to the slightly bad weather on our trip, we spent a couple hours staying warm by the fire, and reading the guest book with signatures from people all over the world.

The Hermitage, Mt. Cook Village: Astronomic Rates, Ugly Complex, Fantastic Views
It is clear that you pay more for a hotel stay in a national park and with such a view as The Hermitage at Mt. Cook Village can offer. But as statistically it rains on 154 days a year in this area the view is not guaranteed, and then it is a bit ridiculous to pay between NZ$ 520 and 770 for a double room (including cooked breakfast).
I even found it more ridiculous when I inspected the hotel on our last visit. We walked through the hallways and looked into a room, and visited the café. From that I have two lasting memories: The stink of an open wood-fire in the basement that filled all halls and hallways, and the noise in the canteen-like and not at all nice café which would offer superb mountain views if the clouds did not fill the valley right in the moment you are there.
I do not even understand how they could allow The Hermitage to construct such an ugly blue high-rise building in the middle of such an extraordinary landscape. If you see how they chicaned Shania Twain with her wonderful natural-stone mansion near Wanaka it becomes even more unbelievable. It is like a slap in the face of nature lovers and an insult to nature itself.
A nicer and cheaper option - if you absolutely want to stay at Mt. Cook Village and not at the backpackers hostel - is to book a motel unit of The Hermitage. This costs between $240 and 275 for two (including breakfast).
In total The Hermitage has 214 guest rooms, including 32 motel units.
The cheapest alternative, however, is to stay in Twizel which is 60km from Mt. Cook Village. For the price difference you can buy a lot of petrol to get to Mt. Cook Village - which takes you approximately 45 minutes.
The greatest Mt. Cook views you can get.

Mackenzie Country Inn, Twizel: Good Location, Big Rooms, Great Breakfast Buffet
Although I prefer motels, last time we tried a hotel, the Mackenzie Country Inn, because I found great rates on the wotif website (www.wotif.com). We paid NZ$99 for a standard room. So always check there first before you book directly with the hotel. You have to look for the location "Aoraki/Mt. Cook", not Twizel.
The building is beautiful, made of this warm granite which fits so perfectly into the ochre tussock landscape. Most rooms come with a small terrace or balcony, and from our room (and the restaurant) we even had a Mt. Cook view. Ask for a room on the Mt. Cook side. On the other side are the carpark and a road.
Even our standard room was very spacious, and the heating (which is important in winter) was very efficient.
I do not know how flash the deluxe rooms are (on the web the bathrooms look nicer and more modern and especially white...). But the interior of ours was a little dated, as were the bar and the hallways. Plus, as they kept the doors closed for the low winter temperatures there was always a not very pleasant smell hanging in the air, especially in the hallway.
Mini points to criticise were the clothes hangers which you could not hang anywhere but the wardrobe which is not the perfect place if you want to dry your clothes, the missing toilet brush and the small bathtub (shower over the bathtub) in the spacious but very dated beige plastic bathroom.
What I really hated was the wash basin with separate hot and cold water taps. The hot water was so steaming hot that you always had to mix ten litres of water in the basin to simply wash your hands or your face.
You also need this survival tip:
Never open the cold water tap at the basin while another person is under the shower! The showering person could be badly burnt. Lucky me there were ice cubes in the fridge, so I could cool my husband's back after my unintentional attack ;-)
The hotel has 108 rooms of which 28 are deluxe. The normal internet rate for a standard room is $120 in winter and $145, for a deluxe room 135/165.
Twizel is a perfect base for expeditions in the Mt. Cook National Park (60km from Mt. Cook Village, 10km from Lake Pukaki), and also for playing golf on one of the many courses, for the rowing centre at Lake Ruataniwha, for gliding in Omarama, the Clay Cliffs, relaxing or skiing at Lake Ohau, and water sports on the lakes of the Waitaki Valley (Aviemore, Benmore) etc. All kinds of accommodation are available, and the rates are a lot lower than at Mt. Cook Village where The Hermitage sets the rules and excessive prices. Plus you have a nice selection of restaurants, takeaways and a supermarket.
Extremely friendly staff!
Especially a middle-aged lady at the reception was unbelievably friendly and helpful, copied maps, described the less known walks - just wonderful.
The buffet breakfast is fabulous, from super delicious muesli to cooked breakfast. It costs only an additional $10 per person.

Aspen Court Motel, Twizel: Nice, Modern and Quiet
This is a rather new and very nice and quiet complex (opened in 2002), with very nicely furnished rooms and a lot of space, and also good cooking facilities. We were able to cook our whole salmon that we had bought at the High Country Salmon Farm 3kms south of Twizel. (But I must admit we had a monster knife from home... ;-)
We had a two-bedroom unit, and the bathroom had a double spa bath. The underfloor heating there is very nice in colder conditions.
Twizel is a great base for the trip to Mt. Cook Village and the Mt. Cook walks, just a 40mins drive.
The rates (for 2 people) as Feb. 2007:
Studio $NZ 120
1 Bedroom Units $NZ 130
2 Bedroom Units $NZ 140

Hermitage Hotel: Hermitage Hotel at Aoraki Mount Cook
Excellent! Stay at the hotel itself, not the rooms down the road, and you'll enjoy clean, modern, roomy, comfortable accommodations with fantastic views. Enjoyed everything about our stay here. Accommodations are wonderful, service is very good, and the food was great. Would return in a heartbeat.
The view is overwhelming. Beautiful!

DOC campground: Plan ahead
If you make reservations well ahead of time you may stay at one of the hotels; alternatively, you can camp on the site maintained by the Department of Conservation, less than 2 km from the posh Hermitage hotel. The facilities are basic (no showers...) but the setting is quite pleasant.
You are expected to drop your payment in a box. At the end of the day, the ranger will make sure you are not an evil doer :)
Overall, a good solution if you can't find a spot at a hotel or motel; ideal if you like camping.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ --
Twitter was shut down Thursday morning August 6 due to a denial of service attack.
Eric Greenberg, Sr. VP of security and risk solutions at Integralis, can discuss:
- Why are Web 2.0 sites like Twitter targets for DDOS attacks?
Twitter is a communication platform that is more like a human brain than a simple website. Its users are within the brain and its neurons, or communication impulses, occur between users within Twitter. Twitter encourages this kind of far-ranging impulse any-to-any and many-to-many communication; it's what makes it Web 2.0. At the same time, it sets the groundwork for an "enemy within." Accounts within Twitter that are taken over, unknown to the users, that in a very difficult to detect manner are made to send messages through the neural social network in a way that is difficult to detect and stop. The very nature of Web 2.0 makes it prone to denial of service attacks.
- What can Web 2.0 sites do to protect themselves?
A new paradigm of trust in a web 2.0 world needs to be established. There is no sense of trust in web 2.0, instead it represents viral communication. Protection of accounts, trust that you know and understand who your connections are, and awareness that as an individual you are part of a powerful ecosystem is necessary. It's an education process, much like the one we had to build at Netscape with the public around using the web and security.
- What implications does this have for corporations that rely on Web 2.0 for reaching their customers?
It highlights the inherent risks and "differences" in Web 2.0 from conventional forms of communication, outreach, and protection. The rate at which a denial of service attack can occur is similar to the rate at wh

Feared Ampatuan clan outgunned Philippine military—WikiLeaks
More News from Agence France-Presse
MANILA, Philippines—The 2,000-strong private army of a powerful clan suspected of carrying out the Philippines' worst political massacre was better armed than the military and police, leaked US embassy cables showed.
The cables from late 2009, released by anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, described the reach of the feared Ampatuan clan in the southern region of Mindanao and said it had authorities on the run.
Key members of the clan and its private army are now being tried for the murder of 57 people in Mindanao in 2009 but many of the accused are still at large, making witnesses reluctant to come forward.
"We estimate that the Ampatuan clan maintains a private army of up to 2,000 men – who are often better armed and equipped than their (police) and (military) counterparts," an embassy cable said.
"Government officials were astonished by the size of the arms caches and the power of the weaponry" that was later recovered from the Ampatuans, another cable said.
However, the files also said the government had turned a "blind eye" to such private armies because they helped in the fight against Muslim insurgents.
"They are often politically allied with the President," one cable added, referring to then-president Gloria Arroyo.
The Ampatuans were allies of Arroyo but she disowned them after they were linked to the murder of 57 political rivals, lawyers and journalists in a bid to prevent a rival from challenging them in elections in 2010.
The embassy also noted that Arroyo had to impose martial law in the affected area in order to arrest the suspects, disarm the Ampatuans and restore order.
"There are many areas in the Philippines… where armed groups have proliferated and the national authorities have a very limited capability to impose order," the secret documents warned.
Although many key members of the Ampatuan clan have been arrested, victims' relatives have expressed concern that, in the Philippines' notoriously overburdened justice system, the trial could take years to complete.

Great shirt and soft
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: Runs small
I bought this shirt for my boyfriend as his last A.I. shirt was getting pretty worn. The material is very soft and does not shrink much in the wash if at all. The only comment is the sleeves were a little tight on his arms, he is strong but not jacked.

Mahood had a freak accident and broke his rib, Bobby didnt even hit him that hard. Injury losses are the worst. At least that gave the camera time to look around at the bunnies.
at least strikeforce knows how to put on a show, they cut to the honeys at least 5 times during a fighters entrance. shammy is a decent announcer, frank shamrock is a pretty cool guy when he is not trying to be a prick to the press.
Are you kidding??? Frank Shamrock is suck a sucky announcer. He has his favorites and praises them through their matches. He even left the booth to coach one of his fighters beween rounds. On the upside Cung Le and Frank hinted and a fight between them and that would be great. I have it Cung Le knocking out Frank in the 2nd if it happends.
they didnt just hint they said shamrock vs. le is happening. what they did hint at is gilbert melendez vs. punk thompson. shammy all the way, he always finds a way and le doesnt know the ground game yet.
Riggs is back and he seems like an animal again. He was fun to watch until he had those crappy UFC losses, but he dominated tonight. War Riggs!
Franks isnt as bad as Goldberg by calling fights halfway before there done but he is trying to announce and hit on chicks at the same time.
babalu is in strikeforce now, thats crazy. he is one of the best lhw in the world. he even hung in his loss to fedor, the guy is tough.
Shamrock is being sued for his comments during the fight toward The Punk Thompson. Thats a crappy announcer to get sued after your first job.

Molecular transport across cellular membranes is essential to many of life's processes, including electrical signaling in nerves, muscles and synapses. In biological systems, the membranes often contain a slippery inner surface with selective filter regions made up of specialized protein channels of sub-nanometer size. These pores regulate cellular traffic, allowing some of the smallest molecules in the world to traverse the membrane extremely quickly while at the same time rejecting other small molecules and ions.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are mimicking that process with manmade carbon nanotube membranes, which have pores that are 100,000 times smaller than a human hair, and were also able to determine the rejection mechanism within the pores. "Hydrophobic, narrow-diameter carbon nanotubes can provide a simplified model of membrane channels by reproducing these critical features in a simpler and more robust platform," said Olgica Bakajin, who led the LLNL team whose study appeared in the June 6 online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In the initial discovery, reported in the May 19, 2006, issue of the journal Science, the LLNL team found that water molecules in a carbon nanotube move fast and do not stick to the nanotube's super-smooth surface, much like water moves through biological channels. The water molecules travel in chains because they interact with each other strongly via hydrogen bonds.
"You can visualize it as mini-freight trains of chain-bonded water molecules flying at high speed through a narrow nanotube tunnel," said Hyung Gyu Park, an LLNL postdoctoral researcher and a team member.
Understanding Rejection
The animation starts with the depiction of the water flow through a regular "rough" pipe. The molecules near the wall stick to it and move much slower than the molecules in the middle of the pipe. Colors indicate the speed of the molecules (green are fast, yellow are slower, red are the slowest). The rough pipe fades and the carbon nanotube appears. All the molecules in the carbon nanotube move fast (green). They do not stick to the surface of the nanotube because that surface is very slippery. The water molecules travel in chains because they interact with each other strongly via hydrogen bonds. These two effects (the slippery nanotube surface and formation of water molecule chains inside the nanotube) combine to produce this phenomenon of ultra-fast flow through carbon nanotubes. (Animation by Kwei-Yu Chu/LLNL.)
Fast flow through carbon nanotube pores makes nanotube membranes more permeable than other membranes with the same pore sizes. Yet, just like conventional membranes, nanotube membranes exclude ions and other particles due to a combination of small pore size and pore charge effects.
"While carbon nanotube membranes can achieve similar rejections as membranes with similarly sized pores, they will provide considerably higher permeability, which makes them potentially much more efficient than the current generation of membranes," said Aleksandr Noy, a senior member of the LLNL team.
Researchers will be able to build better membranes when they can independently change pore diameter, charge and material that fills gaps between carbon nanotubes. One of the most promising applications for carbon nanotube membranes is sea water desalination. These membranes will someday be able to replace conventional membranes and greatly reduce energy use for desalination.

Sourdough Pasta
This will be my first "true" entry, aside from a few (very few) comments here and there. Quite a while ago I decided to take a bit of my sourdough starter and make it into a Durum Wheat Semolina Sourdough starter in order to make sourdough pasta. With all the reading and researching I've been doing, souring, sprouting, or soaking seems to be the best for grains in order to release the enzyme inhibitors and neutralize phytic acid. It was a sad day when I learned about these facts, as I have lived on breads and pastas (homemade, of course) most of my life, and couldn't think of not having them around. So, for the past year-and-a-half I've tried to create baked goods in the "traditional" manner. That is where this pasta comes in...my kids can't even imagine life without pasta.
This pasta is so delicious, very mild in flavor and good to the tooth....I hope you try it and please let me know what you think! Keep in mind that this takes advanced preparation, just like anything sourdough.
2/3 cup starter (from semolina) (starter should be very thick but pourable -- paste-like -- not sure of the percentage, and in its bubbly stage)
1 1/2 cups organic Durum Wheat Semolina
2 eggs from pastured hens
Mix together and knead until smooth and not sticky; add all-purpose flour if needed in order to obtain the correct consistency. Place in a bowl, cover, let stand for 8 hours or overnight.
Sprinkle with flour and punch down. On a floured surface,divide into 8 sections and roll each section into a ball, then flatten. With pasta machine set on lowest setting, pass dough through once, then fold into thirds, pass through again. Increase pasta machine setting one notch at a time, up to notch "7", but only passing dough through once after the first setting; always make sure the dough is well-floured or else it will stick. Cut pasta sheet to desired length and hang to dry on designated dryer (I use a clothes-dryer).
In the above photo, pasta is drying for future lasagna... However, fresh pasta is treated differently in that if using for lasagna, there is no pre-boiling required! Just layer in the dish and bake. If making spaghetti or other styles, one only needs to boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes.
The final photo (scroll to end) shows pasta cut to fettucine width via the pasta machine, deliciously dressed with meat sauce and Romano cheese!
Any help with getting the actual photos onto the forum instead of showing a link would be greatly appreciated!

CHARLOTTE (CNN) -- Former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw, 72, was taken to the hospital Thursday morning while in Charlotte, North Carolina covering the Democratic National Convention.
A network spokesperson said Brokaw felt "light-headed" on the set of the program "Morning Joe."
"Out of an abundance of caution, he was taken to a hospital. He is being evaluated and is in good spirits," the spokesperson said in a statement.
A former anchor of NBC's "Nightly News," Brokaw now serves as a special correspondent for the network, where he reports and offers analysis for a variety of programs.
