Giant Storm Revealed On Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has revealed a giant early-spring storm in Saturn's northern hemisphere that is so powerful it stretches around the entire planet.
NASA said on Thursday that the storm has been wrecking havoc for months and shooting plumes of gas high into the planet's atmosphere.
Cassini's radio and plasma wave science instruments first detected the large disturbance, and amateur astronomers tracked its emergency in December 2010, according to the space agency.
NASA said the storm produced a 3,000-mile-wide dark vortex, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, within the turbulent atmosphere.
The deep plumes generate regions of warm air that shine bight "beacons" of infrared.
"Nothing on Earth comes close to this powerful storm," Leigh Fletcher, the study's lead author and a Cassini team scientist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. "A storm like this is rare. This is only the sixth one to be recorded since 1876, and the last was way back in 1990."
This is the first major storm on Saturn observed by an orbiting spacecraft and studied at thermal infrared wavelengths.
"Our new observations show that the storm had a major effect on the atmosphere, transporting energy and material over great distances, modifying the atmospheric winds — creating meandering jet streams and forming giant vortices — and disrupting Saturn's slow seasonal evolution," Glenn Orton, a paper co-author, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif, said in a statement.
NASA said the violence of the storm took researchers by surprise because it was the strongest disturbances ever detected in Saturn's stratosphere.
"On Earth, the lower stratosphere is where commercial airplanes generally fly to avoid storms which can cause turbulence," Brigette Hesman, a scientist at the University of Maryland in College Park who works on the CIRS team at Goddard and is the second author on the paper, said in a statement.
"If you were flying in an airplane on Saturn, this storm would reach so high up, it would probably be impossible to avoid it."
Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer (CIRS) found evidence of the storm's strength by looking at the amounts of acetylene and phosphine, both considered to be tracers of atmospheric motion.
A separate analysis using Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer confirmed the storm is very violent, dredging up larger atmospheric particles and churning up ammonia from deep in the atmosphere in volumes several times larger than previous storms.
Other Cassini scientists are studying the storm. Details of the discovery are published in Science.

An amateur visible-light image from Trevor Barry, of Broken Hill, Australia, appears on the left. The images were obtained on Jan. 19, 2011, during the mature phase of the northern storm. The second image is taken at a wavelength that reveals the structures in Saturn's lower atmosphere, showing the churning storm clouds and the central cooler vortex. The third image is sensitive to much higher altitudes in Saturn's normally peaceful stratosphere, where we see the unexpected beacons of infrared emission flanking the central cool region over the storm.

No Big Bang in Student Play
By DUFF, Michelle
REVIEW Bang Bang You're Dead Directed by Cassie Rowe, The Dark Room. Reviewed by Michelle Duff ——————– Have you seen The Princess Bride? I love that movie. It's a classic childhood fairytale, all giants and princesses and six-fingered men.
Last year I rented it with a friend, who hadn't seen it. While I sat giggling, she remained poker-faced. What was so good about that? she asked, confused.
In the directors note to this play, Cassie Rowe writes: "I decided at the age of 15 I wanted to one day put on Bang Bang You're Dead! . . . now I can finally fulfil that goal."
I reckon if I had watched this play nine years ago, when I was 15 and it was written by William Mastrosimone, I might have liked it.
It's based on the true story of Kip Kinkel, an American teenager, whose killing spree in 1998 left both parents and two students dead.
Three other school massacres had just occurred, and this play examines the motivation behind the violence.
Interesting, edgy, relevant? Probably, then. But I struggled to see what a group of Massey University Drama Society students were doing performing it to this audience, now. There are moments of brilliance from the passionate actors. Lead Tom Wardle plays messed- up murderer Josh with a pathos that rings true, while others jump seamlessly from character to character.
The only problem is, there's never a moment where I forget I'm watching a play. And by the end, when the "dead" kids are lamenting their lost lives in a series of sentimental snapshots – "I'll miss Mum's cookies . . . I'll miss pies," I've had enough. I know it's sad; we all know it's sad.
Maybe I'm just cynical. Take your teenage daughter, she might learn something. But for the rest of us, there are no surprises.

No grad ceremony for chalk pranksters
Nine Wisconsin high school seniors barred from walking in their graduation for using sidewalk chalk outside the school say the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
James Clark, one of the seniors suspended from Hartland's Arrowhead High School, said he and his co-conspirators used chalk to write
Class of 09 and other small messages and designs on the school Thursday night, WISN-TV in Milwaukee reported Monday.
In some ways I thought it was a pretty lame prank, you know, it looked more like a decoration, Clark said.
It just said 'Class of '09.' And it had some pictures. Someone drew like a 'Tweety' bird or something.
Clark said the designs were only up for about two hours before officials made the group clean it up. His parents appealed district Superintendent Craig Jefson's decision, but Jefson sent them a letter explaining why the appeal was denied.
James and the other students were aware that their behavior at this time could prompt their suspension from school and resulting loss of privilege to participate in the graduation ceremony, yet they participated in the disruption anyway. … I needed to consider the message to current and future students that disruption of the school environment cannot be acceptable in some situations and not others.

My Rating
We were met at the ship when we debarked. The service was perfect and the price is very reasonable. I think a major advantage to this over a cab is that there is no concern about enough taxis being at the pier when one or more ships have departing guests. In addition, the cruise line transfers- even by bus- is more expensive.

The voice of Coachella this weekend? N? Me too. But perhaps one or two of you have the chance to make the pilgrimage to Indio, California, for the annual festival of music that keeps in the indie indie hipster year. You, or perhaps saves your airline miles in a future – perhaps summer festival Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee or Lollapalooza Chicago? (This is my choice as a garnish faith).
Any type of outdoor events attending summer festivals at baseball games you will need to carry a bag any. Crossbody bag are without a doubt, the best solution because they are affordable and hands-free, but the possibility of using an event for the day can be difficult. Things too small and too harsh on it; too big and has a weight of transported by a long period of time, especially in the heat of the summer. Fortunately, we have made all calculations and found three crossbodies perfect for responding to the (ok, almost everything) budget.

WASHINGTON - The planet's shipping fleet should be protected from deadly pirates by arming senior crew members, or not - depending on who was speaking Thursday to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Maersk Alabama Capt. Richard Phillips or his boss, Maersk Inc. Chairman John P. Clancey.'It would be my personal preference that a limited number of crew aboard the vessel have access to effective weaponry,' Phillips told the panel, his wife and a crew member seated behind him. But doing that could expose sailors to a tactical escalation in violence - and, Clancey said later, the corporation to liability. The captain and corporate chief - shoulder-to-shoulder yet somewhat at odds - illustrated the knotty problem Congress, the shipping industry and foreign governments face as they consider how to crack down on a worrying spike in piracy and its threat to billions of dollars in cargo, military equipment and humanitarian aid.

A team of scientists flew to the Australian Outback on Monday to recover a Japanese space capsule they hope contains the first—ever asteroid samples that could provide clues into the creation of the solar system
The Hayabusa explorer returned to Earth overnight after a seven—year, 4—billion mile (6—billion kilometer) journey, burning apart on re—entry in a spectacular fireball just after jettisoning the capsule. It was the first time a spacecraft successfully landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth.
NASA scientist Scott Sandford said it was a relief to watch the re—entry and see the capsule had successfully detached and parachuted to Earth.
"During a mission critical event like a re—entry, there's a whole series of things you've got to get right to make it work, and they all seemed to have come off without a hitch," said Dr. Sandford, an astrophysicist and one of the team members who will research the samples. "It's a great testament to the design and operation of the spacecraft."
Two helicopters were taking scientists to the capsule's landing site in the Woomera Prohibited Area, a remote military zone 300 miles (485 kilometers) northwest of the South Australian state capital of Adelaide.
It could take many hours to retrieve the capsule and collect samples, which will then be taken to Japan for study, he said.
Itokawa asteroid
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency launched the spacecraft in 2003 towards an asteroid called Itokawa. After taking photo images from all angles of the 1,640—foot (500—meter) —long asteroid, Hayabusa landed on it twice in late 2005.
The craft was designed to shoot a bullet into the surface of the asteroid that would crush and propel material through a long tube into a sample collection container. There is no certainty the bullet actually fired, scientists say, but they believe the impact of the tube's landing would have forced some material upward and into the collection chamber.
The Japanese space agency said the aim of the $200 million project was to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system, as well as paving the way for future sample return missions.
Scientists hope to study how and when the asteroid was formed, its physical properties, what other bodies it may have been in contact with, and how solar wind and radiation have affected it.
Hayabusa was originally due to return to Earth in 2007 but a series of technical glitches, " including a deterioration of its ion engines, broken control wheels, and the malfunctioning of electricity—storing batteries " forced it to miss its window to manoeuvre into the Earth's orbit until this year.
Genesis mission
If Hayabusa is indeed carrying asteroid samples, it would be only the fourth space sample return in history" including moon matter collected by the Apollo missions, comet material by Stardust, and solar matter from the Genesis mission ".
Preliminary analysis of the samples will be carried out by the team of Japanese, American and Australian scientists in Japan. After one year, scientists around the world can apply for access to the asteroid material for research.

343 Discusses Making Halo 4 the Best it Can Be and What's Next With Halo 5
Written Wednesday, August 08, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Should the next Xbox - let's for the sake of argument call it the Xbox 720 - be releasing as widely rumoured in late 2013, Halo 5 is a complete no-brainer, and 343 Industries' Lead Game Designer Scott Warner has discussed the challenges of releasing Halo 4 during the tailend of the Xbox 360's lifespan and the advantages of working closely with Microsoft.
In an interview with The Independent, Warner explained the challenges the studio faces in working on a console reaching the end of its life cycle, talking about Halo 4's development and harnessing the technology to get the best out of the seven year old Xbox 360.
"Our current development is all centred around the Xbox 360 and trying to harness everything we can get out of that box, so everything you're seeing is sort of custom built for the 360 experience. Obviously depending on what happens and develops with our company, we'll try to develop our technology and take advantage of it."
And working closely with Microsoft ensures that 343 has a headstart over its rivals for Halo 5, which will be the second chapter in the new Reclaimer Trilogy. "I mean certainly as things develop, we have the advantage of working for a publisher and first party development, and if things happen we would certainly want to take advantage of those things," said Warner.
"There's always kind of a careful balancing act between what you decide to improve upon, what you have that you think is really good, what's the great mixture of that to put you in the best position to be successful as a team. But certainly as things go on in development we have an advantage in the sense that we can cross those streams a bit."
Halo 4 is out on November 6th, 2012.

As for the whole metcalf thing I personally think its a little silly he won the hodge with a loss, and not just a loss but a first period loss by fall. Isnt this the first time thats happened in the history of the award? Maybe Im just ignorant but I thought the #1 criteria was having an undefeated season.
If guys with a loss are elligible then why not phil davis who also had one loss, was a senior, a four time AA and arguably had the most dominant tournament of anyone. I dont have his numbers in front of me right now but other then a few close matches with bond/herbst and his loss to tamilow I think he majored or pinned almost everyone he wrestled. Statistically and logically speaking I dont think metcalf is justified in getting the hodge.
However as a fan there is definitely a special aura about the kid. I was lucky enough to be there in person when he beat schlatter as well as when he overcame a 1st period deficit to almost major jenkins at ncaas and the crowd was going crazy for him. I'm a minnesota fan and so like most other minnesota fans I was rooting for whoever was wrestling against Iowa (at least until it became obvious that the gophers were out of contention). But when metcalf won that jenkins match I gave him a standing ovation and a lot of the gopher fans I was sitting next to did likewise, thats definitely a sign of something special when you can stand up and clap for someone who wrestles for your archrival.
He did also have an incredibly stacked weight class Im sure that factored in as well, its pretty impressive to do what he did in a weight with that much talent

Credit Suisse posts 4Q net profit, in a turnaround
GENEVA— Credit Suisse Group on Thursday posted a profit for the fourth quarter of 397 million Swiss francs ($435 million), a turnaround from a year ago that reflected a tough year of cost-cutting and consolidation.
The CEO of Switzerland's second-biggest bank, Brady W. Dougan, said in a statement that 2012 was "a year of transition" as the bank struggled with tough market conditions and made aggressive cuts in costs and risks while meeting new requirements that it hold more capital.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Zurich-based bank had reported a net loss of 637 million francs ($698 million), its first fourth-quarter net loss since 2008.
Credit Suisse also reported Thursday full-year results for 2012 that showed a net profit of 1.483 billion francs ($1.62 billion), a 24 percent drop from 1.953 billion francs in 2011.
With some 47,400 staff around the world and 924 million francs in assets as of the fourth quarter, the bank is on the list of the 29 "global systemically important banks" that the Bank for International Settlements — the Basel, Switzerland-based central bank for central banks — considers too big to fail.
But the latest financial results, posted before the opening of the Zurich exchange, also show that the total assets managed by Credit Suisse in the fourth quarter represented a 12 percent decrease from 1.05 trillion francs in the fourth quarter of 2011. The bank also reported shedding 2,300 jobs during that time.
"We took significant steps to adapt our businesses and our organization to new regulatory requirements, changing client demands and the current market environment," Dougan said.
He also raised the bank's cost-cutting program by 400 million francs by the end of 2015, coming on top of 4 billion francs of reductions that have been previously announced since 2011.
Shares in Credit Suisse closed Wednesday at 27 francs ($29.56) on the Zurich exchange, up almost 20 percent just since the start of the year.

I had a cancellation for the Austin custom workshop coming up this Sunday and Monday. We'd love to have one more photographer join us.
For more info about my work and workshops, please visit http://www.cheryljacobsworkshops.com.
What exactly is a custom workshop?
It's whatever you want it to be! Think of it as "rent-a-mentor" for specifically the areas you most need help with, for example:
- Making real connections with your subjects
- Working with natural light
- Working with subjects of all ages, including those with special needs
- Nailing your exposures in difficult lighting situations
- Finding your style
- Creative marketing and wordsmithing
- Working with film / darkroom
- Interpreting the print
- Getting inspired
- Working on location
- Or whatever else you can think of!
What's the benefit of a custom workshop?
These workshops are very small (no more than 5 - 7 participants in most cases) which allows MUCH more attention to be given to the specific needs of the attendees. I don't want you to go home with unanswered questions! No more being bored through days of information you already know and / or don't care about. Curriculum will be designed based on feedback from those attending.
Austin, Texas, April 26 - 27, 2010
where: private residence
tuition: $575 if registered prior to March 1
$650 after March 1
The workshop will actually be held in Driftwood, about a 30-minute drive from downtown Austin. The venue will be a large private residence with fabulous natural light and lots of acres to play on. Each day will run from 10am until approximately 5pm (or whenever we finish) and I'm always happy to spend extra time before and after for fun and adventure of both the photographic and non-photographic varieties. I'm expecting to have a really FANTASTIC time!
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and a waiting list will be kept after the seven slots have been filled. Registration is not final until tuition has been received. This workshop is expected to be very popular, so I recommend signing up as soon as possible! Our fabulous host in Austin can help you find accommodations and will be happy to provide directions and recommendations as needed.
Tuition is accepted via Paypal (registered e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.com), via credit card, and by check / money order to PO Box 942, Littleton, CO 80160.

ROCKINGHAM — The first Zaxby's restaurant in Richmond County plans to open its doors as summer fades into fall.
Zaxby's spokeswoman Jamey Ivey said company officials have set a tentative date of Sept. 22 for the eatery's grand opening. With construction still ongoing, the building on U.S. 74 Business in front of the Aldi supermarket will soon be complete.
Crews broke ground on the restaurant in early June, and William Hayden, job superintendent for Zaxby's contractor Dimension Construction Inc., said they initially wanted to have it built by the first of August.
Although the grand opening date has been pushed back, many Richmond County residents are excited to have a new place to eat. J.J. DeRoy, market development director for Zax Inc., feels the same way.
"As residents have shown great support for the Zaxby's brand, we see this new area of Richmond County as a great opportunity to expand the business and create an additional 30 to 40 jobs for the market," said DeRoy. "Zaxby's provides a craveable experience that brings people together for meals, tailgates, after the big game or before an event and we're excited to bring this product to the Rockingham community."
Anyone interested in applying for a job can do so by visiting www.zaxbys.com or by stopping by the new location once it's open.
DeRoy said applying online is the quickest process. The restaurant actually expects to hire between 60 and 70 new employees because of the large crowds that are anticipated and also because of high turnover in the service industry.
"The key to success at Zaxby's is a great smile and a willingness to learn and grow," said DeRoy. "We're a different kind of restaurant with a different kind of attitude — from the food and service we provide to our customers to the respect we have for each other."
According to Rockingham City Planner John Massey, the 3,847 square-foot building will be able to seat 90 people, and the site will provide 50 parking spaces. A Zaxby's press release said the new restaurant would feature floor-to-ceiling brick walls, with modernized tables and booths, all complemented by an eclectic mix of photography. It will also offer a drive-through window.
Zaxby's will be extra busy when the Rockingham restaurant opens its doors because of a special promotion. The first 100 guests will be given a Fanatic Pack of 52 Free Dealz. Each card in the deck offers a free Zaxby's item such as a chicken sandwich or milkshake.
DeRoy said his team will visit local schools, churches, big-box retailers and offices in Richmond County to hand out fliers with smaller giveaways to encourage people to visit the restaurant.
"We do fundraisers and partnerships with schools," said DeRoy. "We want to be a part of a town and an area and be a part of its makeup. We're excited to be a part of the community. Our goal is we're not just in the chicken business, we're in the people business."

nanoscale building block, which can perform the excellent
mechanical function as an electromechanical device. Here,
we have performed atomic force microscope (AFM)-based
nanoindentation experiments of silicon nanowires in order
to investigate the mechanical properties of silicon nano-
wires. It is shown that stiffness of nanowires is well
described by Hertz theory and that elastic modulus of sil-
icon nanowires with various diameters from *100 to
*600 nm is close to that of bulk silicon. This implies that
the elastic modulus of silicon nanowires is independent of
their diameters if the diameter is larger than 100 nm. This
supports that finite size effect (due to surface effect) does
not play a role on elastic behavior of silicon nanowires with
diameter of[100 nm.
Nanowires have been taken much attention as a
Nanoindentation ? Atomic force microscope
Silicon nanowire ? Elastic modulus ?
Mechanical properties of nanostructures such as nanowires
[1], carbon nanotubes (CNT) [2], and/or graphene [3] have
been taken a lot of interest because of unique mechanical
response of such structures as a building block. Some
nanostructures exhibit the superior mechanical properties
such as elastic modulus and/or fracture stress to those of
bulk materials [4, 5]. The origin of such remarkable
properties of some nanostructures is still unclear. Because
of such anomalous mechanical properties, nanoscale
structures have been considered for developing the
mechanical devices such as nanoscale resonators. For
instance, various nanowires [6, 7], CNT [8], and/or
graphene [9] have been employed as a nanoscale resonant
device, which can bear the ultrahigh resonant frequency in
the range of 100 MHz to 1 GHz due to excellent elastic
properties. Moreover, nanoscale resonant device has
allowed the ultrasensitive detection of molecules even at
atomic resolution [10–13]. It is implied that mechanical
characterization of nanostructures is a priori requisite for
the development of electromechanical device based on
nanostructures such as nanowires and/or graphene.
Silicon nanowire has been regarded as one of popular
nanoscale materials because of its exceptional electrome-
chanical properties. A recent study [14] has reported that
silicon nanowires possess the piezoresistive properties,
indicating their potential in NEMS applications. Moreover,
Roukes and coworkers [7] have employed the piezoresis-
tive properties for actuation of silicon nanowires as a
nanomechanical resonator. These examples imply that
mechanical characterization of silicon nanowires is quite
essential for further applications of silicon nanowires to
electromechanical devices as a sensor and/or an actuator.
Mechanical properties of nanowires have been well
characterized by using atomic force microscope (AFM)
experiments. Specifically, Boland and coworkers [5, 15,
Young-Soo Sohn and Jinsung Park equally contributed to this work.

16] have taken into account the bending experiment of a
suspended nanowire using AFM experiments. If the
transverse deflection of nanowire is estimated with respect
to the applied force by AFM, then elasticity theory (Euler–
Bernoulli beam theory) is used to extract the elastic mod-
ulus (Young's modulus) and/or the yield strength of
nanowires. A recent study [17] has showed that simply
supported boundary condition for double-clamped nano-
wire may be inappropriate to extract the elastic modulus
based on Euler–Bernoulli beam model. In other words, the
elastic modulus of nanowires from AFM bending experi-
ment is very sensitive to boundary conditions [17]. Recent
studies [18] have suggested the tensile test of nanowires
using in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) and/
or micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device.
Although MEMS device and/or in situ TEM enable the
direct measurement of stress–strain relationship of nano-
wires, during the tensile test by in situ TEM and or MEMS
device, the light used in TEM or MEMS device (for
imaging of extended nanowire) may induce the artifact in
estimation of elastic modulus of nanowire. This is attrib-
uted to photoelastic properties of nanostructures such that
light with a wavelength comparable to energy band gap of
nanostructures could induce the mechanical strain of
nanostructure [19]. Moreover, extraction of elastic modulus
of nanowires using resonance method (based on in situ
TEM) [1] may be incorrect due to photoelastic effect of
nanowire. It is implied that mechanical characterization
based on AFM bending test, MEMS or in situ TEM tension
test, and/or resonance method may be insufficient to gain
insight into elastic properties of nanowires.
In this work, we have employed the AFM indentation
test of silicon nanowires for mechanical characterization of
silicon nanowires. Here, based on AFM indentation
experiment, the elastic modulus of silicon nanowires has
been extracted from classical elasticity theory (i.e. Hertz
theory). It is shown that mechanical response of silicon
nanowires by indentation is well fitted to theoretical
expectation from Hertz theory. Moreover, in order to
understand the finite size effect of silicon nanowires on
their elastic properties, we have measured the elastic
modulus of silicon nanowires with various diameters in a
range of *80 to *600 nm using AFM indentation. It is
suggested that elastic modulus of silicon nanowires
is independent of nanowire's diameter (when diameter is
larger than *80 nm) and that elastic modulus of nanowires
with their diameters in the range of *80 to *600 nm is
close to that of bulk silicon. This indicates that size effect
does not play any role on mechanical properties of silicon
nanowire as long as its diameter is larger than 100 nm.
For chemical growth of silicon nanowires, a 5-nm thick
Ni film was thermally evaporated on a hydrogen-termi-
nated n-Si(111) substrate under a base pressure of
1 9 10-6Torr. After ultrasonic cleaning in acetone, sam-
ples (with dimension of 1 9 1 cm2) were placed into a
quartz tube reactor in which H2gas (Ar 10%) was flowed
over 30 min at 400 ?C in order to remove the oxygen
molecules remained inside the tube. During the ramp-up,
ultrathin Ni films were alloyed with Si to form nano-sized
NiSxagglomerates. These nano-sized alloys could act as
metallic catalyst for the vapor–liquid–solid nanowire
growth. Vertically grown silicon nanowires can be
obtained in the quartz tube furnace from chemical vapor
decomposition using SiCl4as a source gas at atmospheric
pressure. Here, SiCl4allows the superior epitaxial growth
of nanowires on the Si substrate compared to SiH4,
attributed to the fact that the byproduct of HCl from SiCl4
induces the etching effect of any oxides as well as the
noncatalytic sidewall deposition. Here, the decomposition
temperature of SiCl4is compatible with the Ni–Si eutectic
temperature (966 ?C). Silicon nanowires were in situ axi-
ally grown by introduction of SiCl4 (10 sccm) and H2
(200 sccm) under 950–1,000 ?C for catalyst liquefaction.
Figure 1 shows the TEM image of chemically grown sili-
con nanowire with a diameter of *200 nm. Energy dis-
persive spectrometer (EDS) analysis shows that our
nanowires are well chemically grown. Further, EDS anal-
ysis provides that the tip of nanowire consists of Ni and Si,
indicating that the catalysis Ni is solidified, so that NiSi2is
formed at the tip of silicon nanowire. As shown in Fig. 1,
TEM analysis confirms the chemical grown of silicon
nanowire in (111) direction. NiSi2formed at nanowire tip
is established in epitaxial growth in (111) direction (see
Fig. 1). For mechanical characterization of silicon nano-
wires, we have employed the silicon nanowires with length
of[1 lm in order to remove the effect of NiSi2at nano-
wire tip on the mechanical properties of silicon nanowires.
For mechanical characterization of nanowires using
AFM nanoindentation, we have utilized commercially
available AFM (Innova, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) with
Nanodrive controller (Veeco, Santa Barbara, CA, USA)
and closed-loop scanner. For both imaging and indentation,
we have used Al-coated silicon cantilevers (TESPA,
Veeco, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) with their nominal tip
radius of *10 nm. The force constant of AFM cantilever is
calibrated from Sader's method [20] such that spring
constant is directly computed from the measured resonant
frequency of such a cantilever. In this study, we have
employed the silicon cantilever whose calibrated force
constant is 34.5 N/m, otherwise specified. AFM images of
silicon nanowire is obtained from AFM tapping mode with
a scanning rate of 0.6 Hz and scan size in the range of
20 lm 9 20 lm to 500 nm 9 500 nm. Figure 2 shows the
AFM images of silicon nanowire and its cross-sectional
view. For reliable indentation of nanowires using AFM, we
have to insure that the sample is not rolled during the
212Nanoscale Res Lett (2010) 5:211–216
Page 3
indentation. For such a reliable indentation, we have used
''oscillation off'' mode in Innova in order to turn off the
cantilever's oscillation in tapping state. Further, the precise
probe positioning of AFM cantilever is attributed to the
closed-loop system. The reliable manipulation of AFM
cantilever due to ''oscillation off'' mode and precise probe
positioning enable us to acquire the vivid image of silicon
nanowire as well as the robust indentation response
recorded in load–displacement curve. Here, we have
applied a mechanical force until 800 nN with a loading rate
of 35 nm/s in order to insure that the indentation response
of nanowire resides in the linear elastic regime, which can
be depicted by classical Hertz theory.
A typical force-piezo displacement curve (F-z curve)
obtained from AFM nanoindentation of silicon nanowire is
shown in Fig. 3. It should be noted that the F-z curve is
independent of the indentation location where AFM can-
tilever is under contact with a nanowire. Specifically, as
shown in Fig. 3, we have confirmed that F-z curves
obtained from indentation at five different indentation
locations are identical to each other. This indicates that
mechanical response of a nanowire by nanoindentation
does not depend on the indentation location on a nanowire.
It should be recognized that the F-z curve does not directly
provide the relation between mechanical force and inden-
tation displacement, since the piezo displacement includes
both AFM cantilever bending deflection and indentation
displacement for a nanowire. Thus, because piezo dis-
placement is equal to summation of AFM cantilever
bending deflection and nanowire indentation displacement,
we have a relation of [21, 22]
where kAFMand kNWrepresent the force constants for AFM
cantileverand silicon nanowire
respectively. Here, the force constant of AFM is estimated
as kAFM= 34. 5 N/m computed from Sader's method.
Figure 4 depicts the force constant of silicon nanowire with
diameter of 525 nm obtained from AFM nanoindentation. It
is shown that the force constant of nanowire depends on the
applied force during indentation. In order to understand the
relationship between force constant of nanowire, kNW, and
applied force, F, we have employed the classical elasticity
theory such as Hertz theory, which provides the relationship
between applied force, F, and indentation displacement, s,
such as [23]

respectively. As a consequence, the force constant for
nanowire as a function of mechanical force during an
indentation is given by
This indicates that the relationship between force constant
of nanowire during an indentation and applied force is well
described by scaling law such as kNW= aF1/3. It should be
noted that the scaling law for relationship between force
constant of nanowire for nanoindentation and applied force
is valid regardless of contact geometry (except the different
coefficient a) [21]. As shown in Fig. 4, the experimental
result showing the relation between nanowire's stiffness
and force is well dictated by Eq. (3). This implies that our
nanoindentation experiments reside in the elastic regime as
long as applied force is in the range of 0\F\1 lN.
We have considered the mechanical properties of silicon
nanowires with various diameters in the range of *80 to
*600 nm in order to understand the any role of finite size
effect on the mechanical properties. From Hertz theory
described in Eq. 3, we have extracted the Young's modulus
of silicon nanowires from the curves that show the rela-
tionship between force constant of nanowire and applied
force(e.g.,seeFig. 4).Figure 5showstheYoung'smodulus

than *100 nm. This indicates that, for nanowires with their
diameter in the range of *80 to *600 nm, the Young's
modulus of nanowires is close to that of bulk silicon in the
(111) direction. This is consistent with a recent study by Li
and coworker [24], who showed that elastic modulus of

amorphous silicon nanowire is independent of its diameter
(intherangeof*80to*500 nm).Moreover,arecentstudy
by Boland and coworkers [5, 16] provides that the finite size
effect may not play a significant role on the mechanical
properties (e.g., elastic modulus) of nanowires. This is con-
is unaffected by their sizes and that Young's modulus of
nanowires is close to that of bulk material. This implies that
the elastic modulus of bulk material can be employed for
design of nanomechanical devices using nanowires. How-
ever, it has to be reminded that the finite size effect does not
appearsince ournanowire hasthe diameterof[*80 nm.In
a recentstudyby Li and coworkers [25], the finite size effect
due to surface effect (e.g., surface stress effect) has played a
vital role on elastic modulus of nanowire (e.g., ZnO nano-
wire) with its diameter of *30 nm (?100 nm). Specifi-
cally,fordiameterlessthan*30 nm,thesurfaceeffectsuch
as surface stress reduces the elastic modulus of ZnO nano-
wire as its diameter is decreased [25]. In our case, the elastic
modulusof silicon nanowire with its diameter of *80 nm is
smaller than that of bulk silicon. This may imply that elastic
modulus of silicon nanowire may be reduced as its diameter
isdecreased[26].Itshould berecognizedthat the dimension
of our silicon nanowires is much larger than the critical
role on elastic properties of nanowires. The role of surface
effect on the elastic properties of nanowires with a diameter
of *20 nm will be considered for our future study.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated the AFM nanoin-
dentation of nanowires for extracting their elastic modulus.
Specifically, we have employed the classical elasticity
theory (Hertz theory), which dictates the elastic response of
silicon nanowires to AFM indentation. It is shown that
Young's modulus of silicon nanowires with their diameter
of *80 nm to *600 nm is independent of their diameters,
indicating that finite size effect due to surface effect does
not play any role on elastic properties of nanowires.
Moreover, the Young's modulus of our nanowires with a
diameter in the range of[*100 nm is close to that of bulk
silicon. Therefore, the elastic modulus of bulk silicon can
be assumed for design of nanomechanical devices using
silicon nanowires with their diameters of[*100 nm.

Fig. 4 Stiffness of silicon nanowire, kNW, with its diameter of
525 nm as a function of indentation force, F. It is shown that the
relationship between kNWand F is well described by a scaling of
kNW= aF1/3, where a is a constant parameter depending on nanowire
geometry. It implies that nanoindentation of silicon nanowire is well
described by classical elasticity theory such as Hertz theory

LONDON (ICIS)--Statoil's offices in Stavanger, Norway, were visited on Tuesday by European Free Trade Area (EFTA) and other competition authorities suspecting participation in "anticompetitive agreements and/or concerted practices contrary to Article 53 of the EEA Agreement," the Norwegian oil major said.
"The suspected violations are related to the Platts' Market-On-Close (MOC) price assessment process, used to report prices in particular for crude oil, refined oil products and biofuels, and may have been ongoing since 2002," Statoil said.
The inspection visit was carried out by the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA), assisted by the Norwegian Competition Authority (Konkurransetilsynet) at the request of the European Commission, it added.
"In addition the inspection relates to potential abuse of possible dominant position by another party, contrary to Article 54 of the EEA Agreement," Statoil said.
The ESA confirmed in a statement that it had carried out "an unannounced inspection in Norway concerning activities in, and the provision of, services to the crude oil, refined oil products and biofuel sectors".
Articles 53 and 54 of the EEA Agreement relate to "competition and other rules". This includes anti-competitive market pricing and production actions.
Platts said that the Commission had undertaken a review at its offices in London on Tuesday morning "in relation to the Platts price assessment process".
"Platts is cooperating fully with the European Commission's review," it said in a statement.
A Shell spokesperson told ICIS: "We can confirm that Shell companies are currently assisting the European Commission in an enquiry into trading activities.
"We are fully cooperating with the investigation. For legal reasons we cannot make any further comment at this stage".

KG: 'Felt good to be back with the guys'
|01.19.10 at 3:06 pm ET
WALTHAM — For the first time since being sidelined by a hyperextended right knee, Kevin Garnett returned to full practice on Tuesday. He took part in session, running up and down the court without a noticeable limp.
"It felt good," Garnett said. "It felt good to be back with the guys today."
Head coach Doc Rivers said he will not allow Garnett to play on Wednesday night in Detroit when the team plays the Pistons but rather keep him on track for a Friday return when the Celtics host Portland.

I just visited Disneyland today, and took my two kids on Its A Small World. While riding it, I was just looking around. I noticed several roof panels broken or missing. You could see all of the plumbing/electrical conduit and unfinished wood roof above. I know twice a year this great classic ride gets done over for the holidays and back again. Why doesn't Disney spend a little cash on refurbishing this building and ride elements. All I ever see is cleaning of animatronics.
Take a look at the details and there is a lot that could be done here.

Mother can finally 'Hear for the Holidays,' thanks to essay contest
Woman lost most of her hearing to meningitis in 2004
In a telephone interview last week, she described how comfortable the hearing aids are.
"I feel like this is how you're supposed to hear. They bring up the sounds you can't hear and match them with the sounds you can hear."
Leaving the office that Monday, she heard the fall leaves crunch as she walked. When she arrived home, the wind chimes she hung in the backyard five years ago welcomed her for the first time.
But nothing compared with when her son Brian, now 10, came home that afternoon.
"Can you hear me?" he called as he ran from room to room. "Can you hear me when I say I love you?"
Yes. She could.

I want to verify that for Offshore Platforms Equipment support bolts. Can SS316 be used in lieu of SS316L?
Have an insight or suggestion?
Brian Dalder Forum Moderator 180 Posts
Re: Can SS316 be used in lieu of SS316L?13 July 2010 at 1:29pmThe difference in composition between 316 and 316L stainless steel is that 316L has lower carbon content (< 0.03%). The lower carbon content is only important to corrosion resistance if welding is involved. Because of the higher carbon levels, welding 316 can lead to sensitization and precipitation of chromium carbide at the grain boundaries making it more susceptible to intergranular corrosion. If 316L bolts are working satisfactorily in your environment now, 316 bolts should work too.

Hey guys,
Wondering if you have favourite websites over the net, where you send your ThemeForest WP themes for review/testing? As far as know many authors do that in order to get extra exposure on these sites.
Can you share your favourites?
If you need feedback i think this forum will be the best.
I think he is asking for websites that help with the marketing of the themes.
oh i see, well there are too many galleries to promote your work. Just need to search a bit.
Thanks for your answers. I didn't explained well in my first post.
I meant that as far as I know some authors are giving away free themes to reviewers on that kind of websites and in exchange they get their themes posted and reviewed on these sites.. which gives them extra exposure.
I seearched a lot before starting this topic.. however, I would love to hear your experience.

Even as Tata Motors is looking to reinvent itself by launching some new models starting with compact sedan Zest and followed by two models every year till 2020, it would continue to retain its earlier passenger car models like Indica and Indigo, pinning hopes that early signs of an economic revival could revive sales in this category.
"There is no immediate plan to phase out either Indica or Indigo. In the passenger segment, we were a bit under-represented and Zest would start to address that category. But our other brands are very strong in the categories they are in. With economy turning around brands like Indigo and Indica would start growing and it is already happening. Indica, for example, is strong in the commercial passenger segment, which so far was muted but now growth in coming in," Ranjit Yadav, president, passenger vehicles unit of Tata Motors said.
The comments assume significance, especially, at a time when Tata Motors' sale of compact segment cars, which includes brands like Indica, Vista and also Indigo CS, has suffered a steep drop of 35% in the first quarter of the current financial year (2014-15), down to just 15,055 units from 23,144 a year back.
In fact, Tata Motors' passenger car segment performance over the years have been hit hard, as brands like Indica and Indigo lost their inspirational values among the vehicle owners due to quality issues and poor marketing. This prompted the company to shift the models to the commercial passenger segment, which, too, has been facing the vagaries of economic downturn.
"We will continue to sell brands like Indigo CS which is also sub-4 meter like Zest. I think our new launch wouldn't undercut that model as Indigo CS is a strong vehicle with strong preferences, particularly in states of east like Odisha. Last year we announced new variants of Indico and Indica and we would continue to refresh them. So, after Zest, we will launch Bolt (its hatchback version), the new Indigo and Indica down to the Nano, the new Nano Automatic which we have announced," Yadav said on the sidelines of a press conference to showcase its new compact sedan Zest in the city.
Yadav referred to Horizonext initiative last year when it unveiled 8 upgraded and enhanced products, across 5 brands.
"We believe the compact sedan will grow this year, so also the hatchback. In fact, I believe, every segment will grow. The question is which segments will grow faster and what where the switching would happen," he said.
Tata Motors is now pinning its hope on revival in demand in the domestic market.
"In FY14, auto volumes in most sub-segments had been under pressure. The first quarter of FY15 has, however, shown the marks of an early stage in demand recovery. The lowered excise duty till December would help consolidate demand till the benefits of a virtuous cycle of economic recovery kick in boosting industrial growth and consumer incomes," Anand Rathi research recently said in a report on the auto sector.

Coaching Staff
Randy GreerHead Coach
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office Phone: (864) 231-2088
Randy Greer joined the Anderson coaching staff in the fall of 2004 and has been involved with every aspect of the program.
After serving as an assistant coach for two years, Greer was named head coach of the Anderson University men's and women's cross country and track and field teams in July, 2006, quickly building the Trojans into perennial contenders for championships on the conference, regional and national levels.
In a career inundated with accomplishments, Greer led the Trojans to arguably the best season in school history for both the cross country and track and field teams in 2010-11, as he was named the South Atlantic Conference Co-Coach of the Year for women's cross country following the squad's first-place finish in the SAC Championship. Greer again claimed SAC Coach of the Year accolades in 2011 for leading the women's cross country squad to yet another conference title.
The men's and women's track and field teams earned top five regional rankings in both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2010-11, while the four squads combined to set an astounding 33 new school records throughout the year. Sophomore Will Byars was named the men's USTFCCA Southeast Region Field Athlete of the Year, while senior Durecelle Campbell earned the same honor on the women's side.
The 2010 cross country season marked the seventh consecutive year ('04, '05,' 06, '07, '08, '09, '10) that an Anderson runner claimed the women's individual cross country conference title, while AU has had the women's cross country league Freshman of the Year on its roster five of the last nine years. Anderson has also had an individual national qualifier in seven of the last nine years in cross country. The 2011 season marked the Trojan women's team's fourth conference title and the second in the South Atlantic Conference, while the 2012 squad brought home third place.
In the spring of 2006, he helped coach the men's and women's track teams that rewrote the Anderson record book, and in his first year at the helm of both programs, Greer led both the women's and men's teams to CVAC titles and received two CVAC Coach of the Year awards. He followed up by guiding both the men's women's cross country teams to two victories during the 2008 season. The AU women's captured second place at the Conference Carolinas' Championships and the Trojan men's team posted a third-place finish at the same event.
Individually, Anderson standout Jennifer Hitt won her fourth consecutive Conference Carolinas individual title and Ashley McClellion earned Freshman of the Year honors.
Greer's teams are successful in the classroom as well, with his women's cross country teams combining for back-to-back NCAA All-Academic recognition in 2008 and 2009, and again in 2011 and 2012, while five individuals have earned NCAA All-Academic honors seven times (Diana Willard in 2008, Whitney Bishoff in 2009, 2010 and 2011, Emily Eckroth, Amanda Johnson and Hannah Robles in 2011). The women's track and field squad also claimed NCAA All-Academic honors in 2010 and USTFCCA All-Academic accolades in 2011, while several individuals have garnered USTFCCA All-Academic accolades in over the past three seasons.
Under Greer's guidance, the women's cross country team is always in the hunt to claim the Dr. Shirley Jacks Award, which is presented by the AU Athletics Department to the team that possesses the highest grade point average for each semester, having claimed the honor four times in the past five years.
Whitney Bishoff has earned first team Academic All-America honors twice and was presented the NCAA's Elite 88 award in March, 2011 on the eve of the 2011 Indoor Track & Field Championships. The Elite 88 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 88 championships. She also earned the Elite 89 award at the 2011 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Greer began his coaching career in the fall of 2000 as a volunteer assistant cross country coach at University of the Cumberlands (formerly Cumberland College) and was named assistant track coach at Whitley County High School in Williamsburg, Ky., in the spring of 2001. At WCHS, he worked with both Colonels' teams, helping guide six athletes to the KHSAA state championship meet.
In the fall of that same year, Greer returned to Cumberland as a graduate assistant for the cross country and track teams, coaching the jumpers, pole vaulters and throwers during the indoor and outdoor seasons. During his time at Cumberland, the Patriot men's team finished eighth in the NAIA national cross country meet and several Cumberland athletes won individual national titles and earned All-American status.
Greer left Cumberland again in the fall of 2003 to join the cross country and track coaching staff at Pulaski County High School in Somerset, Ky. He helped lead the Pulaski boys' and girls' teams to regional championships and both teams qualified for the state meet. Greer also helped lead the Pulaski boys' track and field team to a regional championship.
Greer, a native of Eubank, Ky., earned a B.S. in physical education from Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Ky., in 2000.

Slightly related to my other question (which was answered) here, I was wondering if the following was possible (it likely is and very basic but I'm a bit noobish at JavaScript)!
So I have 2 input fields where the user types something into a form. They press "calculate" and then the function totals up what they have entered and then calculates 1,2 and 3% for each value respectively. It looks something like this:
input 1%value
input 2%value
input 3%value
total total
Is there a way for me to be able to update the form in real time? So by this I mean, as soon as the user enters a value into a field the function automatically starts updating the values such as total etc? How would I go about achieving this, can it be done purely in JavaScript?
