Lester F. Ward
Ward, Lester Frank
Lester Frank Ward, 1841–1913, American sociologist and paleontologist, b. Joliet, Ill. Largely self-educated, he eventually took degrees in medicine and law. He worked as a government geologist and paleontologist from 1881 to 1906, when he became professor of sociology at Brown. One of the first and most important of American sociologists, Ward developed a theory of planned progress called telesis, whereby man, through education and development of intellect, could direct social evolution. His theories and those of his contemporary, William Graham Sumner, represent two main trends in 19th-century American sociology. Among his important works are Dynamic Sociology (1883), Psychic Factors of Civilization (1893), Pure Sociology (1903), and Glimpses of the Cosmos (6 vol., 1913–18).

Hwang Blames Cloning Fraud on Junior Researchers
SEOUL, South Korea — Disgraced researcher Hwang Woo-suk asked forgiveness Thursday from fellow South Koreans for his fraudulent claims of human stem cell breakthroughs, but blamed the scandal on junior researchers who he said deceived him.
Hwang, in his first public appearance in nearly three weeks, continued to insist he has the technology to use cloning to create human embryonic stem cells genetically matched to patients – saying he could do so in six months if he had access to enough human eggs.
Seoul National University, where Hwang is a professor, issued investigation results Tuesday saying he fabricated landmark claims in 2004 to have created the world's first stem cells from a cloned human embryo. The university previously ruled that another Hwang article last year on patient-specific stem cells also was fake.
"The use of fake data … is what I have to take full responsibility for as first author," Hwang told a nationally televised news conference. "I acknowledge all of that and apologize once again."
"I ask for your forgiveness," Hwang said. "I feel so miserable that it's difficult even to say sorry."
Hwang, at one point on the verge of tears, also blamed himself for being too caught up in his research to not see the problems around him.
"We were crazy, crazy about work," he said. "I was blinded. All I could see was whether I could make Korea stand in the center of the world through this research."
Hwang repeated his earlier claims that he was deceived about the data by two junior scientists at a partner research hospital, and said he believed that his papers were legitimate when they were published.
He said the junior researchers at Seoul-based Mizmedi Hospital lied to him when they said they successfully culled and grew stem cells from human embryos cloned by Hwang's team.
"We believe they completely deceived (us) with their research results," Hwang said. "Relying on the role and responsibility of Mizmedi Hospital, we trusted their reports 100 percent."
South Korean prosecutors barred more of Hwang's collaborators from leaving the country on Friday, local media reported.
Twenty-eight people have been ordered not to leave the country, including Hwang, Yonhap news agency and other media reported, citing unidentified prosecution officials. Prosecutors were not immediately reachable for confirmation.
Hwang previously called on prosecutors to investigate his claims that some of the cloned embryonic stem cells at his lab had been maliciously switched with those created at Mizmedi using embryos that had not been cloned.
However, prosecutors raided Hwang's home in southern Seoul on Thursday, seizing evidence related to their investigation into his stem cell fraud, prosecution official Kim Hang-soo said. The government has said it would launch an audit of national funds provided for Hwang's research.
Also on Thursday, the Washington-based journal, Science, which had published Hwang's two bogus stem cell reports in 2004 and 2005 announced it was retracting both unconditionally.
During the press conference, Hwang claimed that his team would be able to clone human stem cells if given the right conditions.
"I think we can create patient-specific stem cells in six months if eggs are sufficiently provided," he said.
Scientists hope one day to use such technology to treat afflictions including Alzheimer's disease and diabetes by allowing patients to grow replacement tissue using their own stem cells.
Hwang said his team had succeeded in extracting stem cells from genetically modified pigs using his cloning technology. He also claimed his team has submitted a paper on the successful cloning of a "special animal," which he did not identify.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency, citing sources it didn't identify, reported that the animal Hwang referred to may be a wolf.
Seoul National University on Tuesday upheld Hwang's claim to have created the world's first cloned dog. The journal Nature, which published Hwang's cloned-dog article, said Tuesday that preliminary results from its independent tests also showed the dog was a clone.
Hwang also admitted Thursday that he gave prior consent to a female subordinate to donate her own eggs for his research and collected letters from other researchers, pledging to donate eggs – an act widely considered unethical as it could involve possible coercion.
After almost a year of denial, Hwang acknowledged in November that he used eggs from two junior researchers in his work, but said he wasn't aware of it until later. He also admitted that some of the eggs used for research were bought, unlike his previous claims they were donated.
Wearing a suit and tie, Hwang – once dubbed the "Pride of Korea" – was surrounded by about two dozen current and former students. Some broke into tears during Hwang's speech.
A dozen of Hwang's staunch supporters rallied outside the press conference venue in central Seoul, holding a banner saying "Professor Hwang, cheer up. We still stand behind you."
"I don't care if the papers were faked or not," said Jeong Ha-gyun, who attended Hwang's news conference in a wheelchair. Jeong, head of the Korea Spinal Cord Injury Association, was paralyzed from the waist down after a car accident 21 years ago.
"I think we should give him a chance to prove he has the technology," the 50-year-old said. "When it's proved he can't do it, it's not too late to throw stones at him."
Associated Press reporter Jae-Soon Chang in Seoul contributed to this report.

Tune In Facebook Friends Who Matter Most
CHICAGO, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ — For more information, please go to: http://altoids.presslift.com/tuneout

Say goodbye to unwanted updates and to grade school classmates yelling for attention on Facebook. The Altoids brand is all about knowing what you want and ignoring everything else, which is why it has celebrated its Curiously Strong(TM) flavor for more than 200 years. To amplify this message, the Altoids brand announces the launch of Tune Out for Desktop, a free app allowing users to keep up with their favorite — and only their favorite — people on Facebook. All versions of the app, which became available on iPhone and Android earlier this year, can be demoed and downloaded at www.facebook.com/altoids.
Tune Out is a new way for consumers to view and comment on recent updates from their favorites on a single, scrolling screen — so they'll never miss out on the latest news, stories or photos they care most about.
How It Works:
- When the app opens, users will be prompted to log into their Facebook account. Next, they'll be presented with a full list of Facebook friends and can search for specific friends by name.
- Users can then choose their favorites who will be added to the "Tuned In" option and appear in a grid. To keep the app manageable, we recommend no more than 16 favorites. Everyone else is "tuned out," though consumers can always edit their selections and notify friends when they've been added to their "Tuned In" list.
- Starred profiles let consumers know at-a-glance the favorites who have updates to share. Simply click on a profile photo to view individual updates or click "Latest" to view all recent posts together on a single feed. From there, users can comment on any of the posts to stay connected.
- An added bonus, Tune Out works with Twitter as well.
Altoids is a brand that knows what it likes. It represents strength, confidence and conviction. With Tune Out, those who value these same qualities can finally give their closest friends the attention they deserve.

heck there are several more keywords you could use to search for it, but you need to learn how to do that....
Thank you!
I found the email and gave you a REP. I found your post somewhat sarcastic though. Will it be illegal for people to private message their Windows 7 Key just to input on the verification form to download Windows 8? I know several people do not want to upgrade to Windows 8. I want to know how to do download the ISO file. If I click on the link in the email it wants to download a Windows setup file then Windows assistant opens and shows downloading.
Last edited by getstuff4less; 02-12-2013 at 07:38 PM..
here's a wiki on how to download the iso...
How to check your order/key or buy a DVD later or download again?
Where does the Upgrade Assistant store files and how to create disc on XP?
they are not meant to be shared...they are also on record with MS unless it was pirated or something...
I am presuming you bought the Windows 8 key with your Windows 7 key which is legit. Technically, you can't use that same Windows 7 key anymore to do any upgrades. I would also think, that you're trying to defraud somebody by doing this...
You should very well know what keys are for....unless maybe you're just too late in realizing this..
Now, if you're the one who wants to use someone else' Windows 7 key to get an upgrade to Windows 8, you're walking on a very thin line here....and the other person is on the dumb side to give you his / her key...

The cycle shop near Decatur looked pretty good, but I never got a chance to step in there. I would also suggest 'Bama gun and pawn' if you want to see where all the stolen tools end up in your area...and a scary group of individuals.
I enjoyed the time I spent down there and will be doing more work in Decatur sometime around June-July.

Traditionally, firms have been spending significant time and money in improving their forward supply chains while ignoring their potential reverse supply chains. However, in today's competitive business environment, it is important that firms study the profitability and benefits of implementing a reverse supply chain while considering the uncertainties associated with the supply and composition of used products, disassembly time, recycling/remanufacturing time, and demand for recycled/remanufactured goods. In this paper, we demonstrate how a simulation software package, Crystal Ball®, can be used to help a firm predict whether investment in a reverse supply chain is profitable with respect to a given product, while considering the aforementioned uncertainties. Crystal Ball® is a spreadsheet-based software package designed for predictive modeling, forecasting, Monte Carlo simulation and optimization.

Necessity as the Mother of Intervention: The Industrial Policy Debate in England
This article seeks to demonstrate two simple points about industrial policy in England. First, industrial policy matters, but if there is to be an effective and fruitful debate about industrial policy, it must not be insular. It must be located within the wider context of the ongoing battle of ideas in the discipline of political economy about the appropriate roles for the state and market in enhancing economic development. Second, the debate about industrial policy must not occur in an historical vacuum, but must learn the lesson of the interventions by the Thatcher, Blair and Brown Governments. These have demonstrated that all British governments have intervened and have picked winners. The Cameron-Clegg coalition government will be no different despite its rhetorical commitment to rolling back radically the frontiers of state spending and intervention

After reading the news Precentral.net broke about Palm once again being split into separate software (likely to wither) and hardware (likely to die) units, it made me wish we could get a new show on FOX this fall called "Jobs' Business Nightmare". Just like the Gordon Ramsay cooking show, Steve Jobs could tackle another bumbling, downward spiraling tech company each week, shake them up, reorganize their product matrixes, and turn them back towards the path to success. Just like he did with Apple. HP could be the pilot.

HP has just announced that they're killing off webOS devices, namely the Pre, Veer, and TouchPad -- or everything that competes with iPhone and iPad.
In addition, HP reported that it plans to announce that it will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward.
In addition, HP reported that it plans to announce that it will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward.
Derek Kessler, editor of our sibling site PreCentral.net pulls no punches:
HP dominates the commodity PC market, selling more beige boxes and plastic laptops than anyone else on the planet, so what's to stop their upcoming webOS-based HP TouchPad tablet from overtaking Apple's number one selling iPad to become... um... better than number one? Nothing but wishing it to be so, according to Eric Cador, Senior VP of HP Personal Systems Group of the EMEA.
HP held their Something Beyond event today where they announced the new, tiny Veer, the beefed up Pre 3, and their iPad competitors, the TouchPad. (And I'll note with sadness it was HP, and no longer Palm that announced them.)
The Veer replaces the Pixi as the mainstream fashion phone, only now it packs the Pre slider form factor shrunk down to credit-card size (don't call it MiniPre!). I'll miss the iconic front-facing QWERTY that made the Treo famous but for slider fans there's a lot -- read: a little -- to like here. Check out PreCentral.net's Veer hands on for more.
The Pre 3 is the Pre on Hulk serum. Bigger screen and far more powerful internals. If HP can nail the build-quality they could realize every dream original Pre-users have had. I'd have liked a slab form factor here, but I have an iPhone so HP is at least sticking to Palm's guns on hardware keyboards. Check out PreCentral.net's Pre3 hands on for more.
The TouchPad is HP's answer to the iPad, with identical display size but quadruple the RAM, a front-facing camera, and webOS 3.0 which really shines on the big screen. The UI doesn't scale automagically (it was unrealistic to think it would) but HP has moved some controls to the top, made notifications into a hybrid drop down, and cards and stacks just look gorgeous on a tablet. Check out PreCentral.net's HP TouchPad hands on for more.
As we wait on Apple's Q4 earnings report later today, it's interesting to look at the graphic above and see just what a profound effect iPad sales have had, and are likely increasingly to have, on the US PC market. Deutsche Bank's Chris Whitmore:
HP is applying for a trademark on the term PALMPAD which shows they not only intend to compete with Apple in the tablet space, but perhaps to compete with iPad in almost the same branding terms.

A little highway history
The highways in Rim Country have gone through constant realignment; realignment that continues as Highway 260 is expanded just outside of Little Green Valley.
The Tonto Creek trifecta
One of the things that I've been researching lately is the old Boy Scout camps in the area. In the process I came to a special appreciation of an area that I pass by every day: the area near Kohl's Ranch.
Archaeology in Rim Country
One thing people ask me about occasionally is area archaeology.
A visit to the Golden Waif/House Mine
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to hike to the old Golden Waif Mine, referenced on topographical maps as the "House Mine." This mine had a major impact on early Payson.
Rim Country mispronunciations
At a recent visit to Diamond Point Shadows I heard folks talking about how Prescott should be pronounced. They pronounced it as many Arizonans do: "press-kit," instead of how many out-of-staters do, "press-scott."
Schools, teachers in Rim Country
were the norm. Teachers who traveled long distances and sometimes endured less than stellar conditions were typical. Here's a look back at teaching in Rim Country.
Remembering Everett Jackson
The Rim Country area lost another great old-timer recently when Everett Jackson passed away.
Missing... and remembering ASU football at Tontozona
A new football season is nearly upon us. Across the country NFL training camps are underway and players at the collegiate level are preparing for a new season.
A railroad on the East Verde?
Today it is the home to a pipeline that has the potential to help supply Payson and the surrounding communities with the water they need from Blue Ridge Reservoir.
'Payson' book an insightful picture history
Jinx Pyle and Jayne Peace Pyle's latest book, "Payson," provides a wonderful pictorial look at the area. This is published by Arcadia Publishing and is one of many in their Images of America series that is widely distributed around Arizona and the rest of the country.
Remembering the Dude Fire
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Dude Fire, a fire that burned numerous homes and killed six firefighters north of Payson under the Rim.
gardens in rim country
It's June, which means gardening in Rim Country is in full swing. While nowadays it's generally performed as a relaxing hobby, it was a far more serious thing long ago.
The capture of an outlaw in Tonto Basin
Back in the day, the Tonto Basin was a pretty wild place, with the area around Mount Reno (now known as Mount Ord) as wild as any.
What's in a signature?
When I was a kid I loved to go out to spring training games, always with one thing in mind: getting an autograph from someone wearing my favorite team's uniform.
The Reno Road
The wet winter has led to a flowery spring, particularly between Payson and its bigger neighbor to the south, Phoenix. Many a city dweller will explore the terrain, often going on day trips to enjoy nature's beauty. But it is easy to forget that such a day trip wasn't so easy long ago. It's time for a look at the Reno Road.
Norman Mead and Tonto Trails Magazine
The fairly new Arizona Highlands publication by the Payson Roundup might remind longtime residents of a couple different publications.
Closing the book on ILX Resorts
Sometime in April, Diamond Resorts will likely take over ILX Resorts, including their Kohl's Ranch property. The company that has long been cursed by locals for a series of bonehead moves, most notably tearing down the old "Cowboy Bar" which was the original lodge, will be no more.
Winter, Spring and other Rim stories
This winter reminds me of what the old-timers have consistently told me about winters here: It hasn't been like it used to be. Yet to many, it's obvious that this winter has been different. The totals from our earlier storm were on par with that of the 1967 snow and 1970 flood. The moisture, unlike many recent years, hasn't stopped coming. In many ways, it's an old-time winter. How was it back then? Here's a clip from a conversation I had with longtime Mead Ranch local Royce O'Donnell a couple years ago.
Arizona State Archives and Department of Mines
In Payson the big story when it comes to the state budget is the potential closing of the Tonto Natural Bridge, but for historians and genealogists the threat to history research centers like the state archives has been a point of concern. Recently I did a little research at the Arizona State Archives and at the Arizona Department of Mining and Mineral Resources. Here's a sense of what is happening there.
History in progress?
The storm that recently hit the state surely made an impact. Outside of Payson where I live, we had well over a couple feet of snow along with rain mixed in. We had power outages — power outages, which weigh a little heavier on everyone after the extended one in December. Commentators have called this a storm for the ages and I've read comparisons of it to the flood of 1970, so let's take a look at where this might rank years from now.
haunting new year tragedy
The year 1965 was less than a week old when tragedy struck Payson: four youths were killed in Payson's jail. Even 45 years later, it's an incident that still ranks amongst one of the most tragic in Rim Country.
The Excursion Mine
Southwest of Payson, the land lies mostly still. Yet poking around into the history reveals far more than just a chunk of private land in the midst of Tonto National Forest. It reveals ties to a big local name and a big state name. This is the story of the Excursion Mine.
Payson Commercial & Trust
Many say that the United States has its worst economy since the 1930s. It's worth noting that even the little town of Payson was not immune to a key widespread problem during the 1930s: bank failures. Here's the story of Payson's first bank and how it collapsed during the Great Depression.
Oral histories capture more than memories
There are a number of tools that historians use to help them piece together the past. Old newspapers, old documents and family records are often used. But oral histories sometimes get lost in the shuffle, even though they can be amongst the most valuable. Good oral histories provide a good basis for historians long after the interviewees are gone. This week we look at two major collections of oral histories that have been done locally.
History near the water wheel site
The recent Water Wheel Fire was near three old homesteads, two of which have since been developed into subdivisions. This provides a perfect chance to take a glimpse at the past of this general area.
The 1970 Labor Day Flood
There are two weather events that old timers like to talk to historians about. The first is the big snow of 1967; the second is the flood of 1970. This week we focus on the latter, presented with some great pictures from Hazel McBrayer and family.
The Summit Mine
Just a little bit outside of the Country Club Vista subdivision in northwest Payson lays a rather interesting spot.
August Pieper and his brewery
Payson became a town in 1882 and obtained its first post office and held its first rodeo in 1884. On the heels of this, in 1885 it appears that Pinal Brewery made its way in some form to Payson. A deed dated July 12, 1885 shows a transaction between Charles Bohren (Grantor) and Fred Rechenmacher, August Pieper, Frank Bissig, and Carl [sic] Soyer (Grantees). It states that the grantees are "partners doing business under the name Pinal Brewing Co."
Patriotic partying in Rim Country
Payson and the surrounding area have long had a reputation as being quite a party place. With the 4th of July falling on a Saturday this year, it provides a perfect opportunity to look back upon some of the festive times had in this area.
The deadly fires of 1961
With a slate of cool temperatures recently, it's easy to forget that June usually heats up, and as temperatures rise, the risk of a major fire increases. There have been some wicked fires in years past. There was Rodeo-Chediski in 2002 and the "angry Dude" in 1990. But when you look for a combination of multiple fires and air fatalities, 1961 was a year for the ages.
The way Rim forests have changed
The way that our forests are handled has changed through the years. The U.S. Forest Service is not much more than 100 years old and quite a lot has changed from the time it was created.
Tonto Natural Bridge and its long road to becoming a state park
The fight for Tonto Natural Bridge to be open to the public is not a new one. As recently as the late 1980s this wonder of nature was private land. Here's a look at the bridge and how it became an Arizona State Park.
Payson, Yavapai County, Arizona Territory
Payson was part of Yavapai County? It may have been a long time ago, but it is true. Up until 1889, Payson and most of Rim Country was part of Yavapai County, with the county seat in Prescott. Here's a look at how things were in those days and how Payson ended up being in Gila County.
Davey Gowan and the Gowan Mine
Tonto Natural Bridge has been in the news quite a bit lately. Davey Gowan is closely associated with the bridge, but the bridge and surrounding area was not the only thing that Gowan worked on in Rim Country. He also discovered a mine that he named for himself.
Who was Lewis Edwin Payson?
On March 3, 1884, Green Valley opened its first post office. Soon thereafter, Green Valley became known as Payson, in honor of the man who helped them get the post office, Lewis Edwin Payson.
Early mining in Payson had a big impact
One of the biggest "forgotten" stories in Rim Country is the impact that mining had early in Payson's history. The area is known for its ranching, and certainly it became a big part of the economy. Mining though was a key thing early on. The early settlers found lots of promise on the surface, though as time went on it never materialized as much as hoped. Here's a look at some of the early happenings.
Answering the McLane Road question
A 1978 Payson Roundup carried the following headline: "Old Main merchants question naming of McLane Road." At the time the merchants were asking the Payson Town Council to rename the road "Old Payson Trail."
A sampling of brands from 1908
One of the neat items available online through the Arizona Memory Project is a brand book from 1908. This book has brands from all around the state and covers brands recorded from April 28, 1897 to July 13, 1908. Here's a look back at some of those brands and a brief look at the people who had them.
Bert Slater, founder of the Roundup
Bert Slater, originally from Illinois, started the Payson Roundup in 1946. About a year or so before he died in 1957, he wrote his story of the paper. Here's what he said:
bootleggers in rim country
In the late 1910s, 1920s, and early 1930s, Rim Country became host to a number of bootleggers as prohibition took effect. Some were locals who had been born and bred here; others came from across the country. The moonshine was known as "Payson Dew" and gained a positive reputation with many. Today we look at a few producers of these goods.
Reunions have a variety of values
Recently I had my 10-year high school reunion. It was probably the first time that the magnitude of the whole "reunion" thing hit me.
It's the Zane Grey time of year
We're now in October, which brings us many things in Rim Country: cooler temperatures, changing colors, possibly the first frost. It's also the month of the year that's probably most associated with Zane Grey. After all, October was often the month that Grey spent time here, hunting various animals under the Rim and researching for his many novels. So I thought that this might be an appropriate time to once again discuss Zane Grey.
Rim Country History
LEONA FUEL and her Payson correspondent columns of 1929
The year 1929 was the end of the Roaring '20s and also the end of Zane Grey's time in Rim Country. During that time the Arizona Republican (today's Arizona Republic) ran weekly correspondent columns from around the state. Payson's column was written by Leona Fuel, a Payson schoolteacher. This week, we look at bits and pieces of the Payson scene as written by Fuel.
The election of 1900
The primary elections and presidential conventions have come and gone and the general election draws closer. This week, I thought it might be fun to go back to the fall of 1900 and look at how the area responded to that election.

A piece of history from 1885
Recently I came across a postcard sent from Payson in 1885. This is quite a find.
The places of my childhood
I've been coming up to Rim Country ever since I was born, some 28 years.
Looking back at Rim Country gardening
Our second "spring" is here, as the monsoon rains have spurred on gardens throughout Rim Country
New book gives deeper view of Zane Grey
Believe it or not, my book related to Zane Grey is not the only new one on the market. Candace Kant, who did a brilliant job with "Zane Grey's Arizona" in the early 1980s, has just released another book about him. It's entitled "Dolly & Zane Grey, Letters from a Marriage." I got the book recently and made a very quick read of it. For anyone looking to get a more in-depth feel of Zane Grey's life, this is a great book.
Christopher Creek's uranium mine
A lot of people in Payson don't realize it, but in Christopher Creek they sure do.

Panning Across the Thor's Helmet Nebula
October 6, 2012
This video takes a close look at a new VLT image of the Thor's Helmet Nebula. It was taken on the occasion of ESO's 50th Anniversary, 5 October 2012, with the help of Brigitte Bailleul — winner of the Tweet Your Way to the VLT! competition. The observations were broadcast live over the internet from the Paranal Observatory in Chile. This object, also known as NGC 2359, lies in the constellation of Canis Major (The Great Dog). The helmet-shaped nebula is around 15 000 light-years away from Earth and is over 30 light-years across. The helmet is a cosmic bubble, blown as the wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble's centre sweeps through the surrounding molecular cloud.

text: This confuses me. When a breakaway goes out, I understand why the sprinter's teams would want to catch it. What I don't understand is how it helps out teams like Discovery to have a team member like Hincapie chase down the breakaway. What advantage does that give Lance if he is not present in the chase?- Like what happened early in stage 8 today.

Wingtip devices are usually intended to improve the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft. There are several types of devices, and though they function in different manners, the intended effect is to reduce the aircraft's drag by altering the flow near the wingtips. Wingtip devices can also improve aircraft handling characteristics, and enhance safety for following aircraft. Such devices increase the effective aspect ratio of a wing, with less added wingspan. An extension of span would lower lift-induced drag, but would increase parasitic drag, and would require boosting the strength and weight of the wing. At some point there is no net benefit from further increased span. There may also be operational considerations that limit the allowable wingspan.
The wingtip devices increase the lift generated at the wingtip, and reduce the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices, improving lift-to-drag ratio. This increases fuel efficiency in powered aircraft, and cross-country speed in gliders, in both cases increasing range. US Air Force studies indicate that a given improvement in fuel efficiency correlates directly with the causal increase in L/D ratio.
A winglet is a near vertical extension of the wing tips. The upward angle (or cant) of the winglet, its inward angle (or toe), as well as its size and shape are critical for correct performance, and unique in each application. The vortex which rotates around from below the wing strikes the cambered surface of the winglet, generating a force that angles inward and slightly forward, analogous to a sailboat sailing close hauled. The winglet converts some of the otherwise wasted energy in the wing tip vortex to an apparent thrust.
This small contribution can be very worthwhile, provided the benefit offsets the cost of installing and maintaining the winglets during the aircraft's lifetime. Another potential benefit of winglets is that they reduce the strength of wingtip vortices, which trail behind the plane. When other aircraft pass through these vortices, the turbulent air can cause loss of control, possibly resulting in an accident.
The Airbus A340, and the Boeing 747-400 use winglets. Other designs such as Boeing 777 and the 747-8 omit them in favor of raked wingtips, because the gain available is very small and would make the aircraft too large for a standard airport gate. Large winglets are mainly useful for short distance flights, where the benefit in climb performance is more important. Raked wingtips are now preferred over small winglets for long distance flights where cruise performance is more important.
NASA's most notable application of wingtip devices is on the Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. Located on the 747's horizontal stabilizers, the devices allow for stability under the weight of the Space Shuttle Orbiter.
Even before NASA did flight testing on winglets, Burt Rutan incorporated them in his innovative Rutan VariEze homebuilt aircraft design, making the first flight with winglets on May 21, 1975. The VariEze pioneered glass reinforced plastic composite construction in homebuilt aircraft, which simplified fabrication of the winglets. He avoided any drag penalty by using winglets to do double duty, serving as the vertical stabilizers in his rear wing, canard, pusher configuration. They were also used similarly on the derivative Rutan Long-EZ, and reappeared on his Beechcraft Starship business aircraft design that first flew in 1986.
Conventional winglets were fitted to Rutan's Rutan Voyager, the first fixed-wing aircraft to circumnavigate the world without refueling in 1987. However, the aircraft's wingtips were damaged as they dragged along the runway during takeoff and Dick Rutan, who was piloting, sideslipped the plane to cleanly shear off the winglets so that they would not pose a risk to the fuel tanks.
Gulfstream also explored winglets in the late 1970s and incorporated winglets in the Gulfstream III, IV, and V. The performance of the Gulfstream V has been exemplary. Its operational range of 6,500 nmi permits routine nonstop business travel for routes such as New York–Tokyo. The Gulfstream V also holds over 70 world and national flight records.
Winglets are also applied to many other business jets to reduce take-off distance, enabling operation out of smaller secondary airports, or allowing higher cruise altitudes for overflying bad weather, valuable operational benefits for corporate travel. In addition to factory installed winglets on new aircraft, aftermarket vendors developed retrofit kits for popular jets and turboprops, to improve both aerodynamics and appearance. Winglets became so popular on this class of aircraft, that Dassault, whose French designers resisted applying them on their Falcon Jet line until recently, were forced to run a contrarian marketing campaign. Cessna Aircraft Company recently announced they were partnering with Winglet Technology, LLC of Wichita, Kansas to test a new wingtip device called Elliptical Winglets, which are designed to increase range and increase payload on hot and high departures.
Boeing announced a new version of the 747, in October 1985, known as the 747-400, with extended range and capacity. With this particular model, Boeing used a combination of winglets and increased span to carry the additional load. The winglets increase the 747-400 range by 3.5 percent over the 747-400D, which is otherwise aerodynamically identical but has no winglets. Winglets are preferred for Boeing derivative designs based on existing platforms, because they allow maximum re-use of existing components. Newer designs are favoring increased span, other wingtip devices, or a combination of both, whenever possible.
In 1987, mechanical engineer Peter Masak called on Mark D. Maughmer, an associate professor of aerospace engineering, about designing winglets to improve performance on his 15-meter wingspan racing sailplane. Others had attempted to apply Whitcomb's winglets to gliders before, and they did improve climb performance, but this did not offset the parasite drag penalty in high speed cruise. Masak was convinced it was possible to overcome this hurdle.
By trial and error, they ultimately developed successful winglet designs for gliding competitions, using a new PSU–90–125 airfoil designed by Maughmer specifically for the winglet application. At the 1991 World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas, the trophy for the highest speed went to a winglet equipped 15-meter class limited wingspan glider, exceeding the highest speed in the unlimited span Open Class, an exceptional result. Masak went on to win the 1993 U.S. 15 Meter Nationals gliding competition using winglets on his prototype Scimitar sailplane.
The Masak winglets were originally retrofit to production sailplanes, but within 10 years of their introduction, most high-performance gliders were equipped from the factory with winglets, or some other wingtip device. It took over a decade for winglets to first appear on a production airliner, the original application that was the focus of the NASA development. Yet, once the advantages of winglets were proven in competition, adoption was swift with gliders. The point difference between the winner and the runner-up in soaring competition is often less than one percent, so even a small improvement in efficiency is a large competitive advantage.
Many non-competition pilots installed them for the handling benefits, including increased roll rate and roll authority, and reduced tendency for wing tip stall. The benefits are notable, because sailplane winglets must be removable to allow the glider to be stored in a trailer, so they are usually installed only at the pilots' preference.
Some airlines capitalize on the visibility of winglets to passengers. AirTran, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, WestJet and Ryanair advertise their website addresses on the inboard side of their 737's winglets.
Wingtip fences are the preferred wingtip device of Airbus, employed on all their airliners except for the A330 and A340 families. The Airbus A350 will also make use of winglets rather than wingtip fences.
A blended winglet is intended to reduce interference drag at the wing/winglet junction. A sharp interior angle in this region can interact with the boundary layer flow causing a drag inducing vortex, negating some of the benefit of the winglet. The blended winglet is used on business jets and sailplanes, where individual buyer preference is an important marketing aspect.
Blended winglets have been offered as an aftermarket retrofit for Boeing 737, 757 and Raytheon Hawker 800 with winglets series aircraft by Aviation Partners Inc., and the 737 version is now standard on the Boeing Business Jet derivative. Many operators have retrofitted their fleets with these for the fuel cost savings. Aviation Partners has also developed winglets for the 767-300ER with American Airlines being the first customer. Airbus tested similar blended winglets designed by Winglet Technology for the A320 series, but determined that their benefits did not warrant further development.
Raked wingtips are a feature on some Boeing airliners, where the tip of the wing has a higher degree of sweep than the rest of the wing. The stated purpose of this additional feature is to improve fuel economy, climb performance and to shorten takeoff field length. It does this in much the same way that winglets do, by increasing the effective aspect ratio of the wing and interrupting harmful wingtip vortices. This decreases the amount of lift-induced drag experienced by the aircraft. In testing by Boeing and NASA, raked wingtips have been shown to reduce drag by as much as 5.5%, as opposed to improvements of 3.5% to 4.5% from conventional winglets. An increase in wingspan is generally more effective than a winglet of the same length, but may present difficulties in ground handling. For this reason, Boeing's short-range 787-3 design currently calls for winglets, instead of the raked wingtips featured on all other 787 variants.
Raked wingtips are or are planned to be employed on:
Non-planar wingtips are normally angled upwards in a polyhedral wing configuration, increasing the local dihedral near the wing tip. These provide the wake control benefit of winglets, with less parasite drag penalty if designed carefully. The non-planar wing tip is often swept back like a raked wingtip, and may also be combined with a winglet. A winglet is also a special case of a non-planar wingtip.
Aircraft designers employed mostly planar wing designs with simple dihedral after World War II, prior to the introduction of winglets. With the wide acceptance of winglets in new sailplane designs of the 1990s, designers sought to further optimize the aerodynamic performance of their wing tip designs. Glider winglets were originally retrofit directly to planar wings, with only a small, nearly right-angle transition area. Once the performance of the winglet itself was optimized, attention turned to the transition between the wing and winglet.
A common application was tapering the transition area from the wing tip chord to the winglet chord, and raking the transition area back to place the winglet in the optimal position. If the tapered portion was canted upward, the winglet height could also be reduced. Eventually designers employed multiple non-planar sections, each canting up at a greater angle, dispensing with the winglets entirely.
The Spiroid winglet, a winglet that loops back onto the wing to attempt to eliminate winglet tip induced vortices, is under development.
Non-planar wingtips (without winglets) are or will be employed on:

Retailers in Norway pull Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike, more in response to recent events
Posted on July 29, 2011 AT 06:28pm
While their hearts are probably in the right place, unfortunately, their heads aren't. Two retailers in Norway have decided to stop selling Call of Duty and World of Warcraft titles for the time being, due to those games having been mentioned in the manifesto of Oslo terrorist Anders Behring Breivik.
Breivik, in his manifesto, made claims that Call of Duty was a good game to play for combat training, and that if you claim you have an addiction to World of Warcraft, that time can actually be used for planning terrorism.
Specifically, retailers Coop Norway and Platekompaniet have pulled all versions of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Counter-Strike: Source, Homefront, and Sniper: Ghost Warrior.
However, another retailer in Norway, Spaceworld, has refused to participate in the pulling of games in reaction to this event, stating that they have never seen any proof that games encourage such behavior.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
When the well-known snowboard goggle maker, Anon, introduced its new line of helmets this year, the company made sure to include some very appealing options specifically for the ladies. The Women's Galena Helmet is Anon's top-of-the-line women's option with all the bells and whistles you'd want to keep your head comfortable and protected when you're out on the mountain. The hybrid 50/50 helmet construction is designed to balance high performance with impact protection: the lower half is a lightweight and low-profile polycarbonate shell with an EPS foam liner, while a durable and impact-resistant ABS Endura-Shell composes the helmet's upper half. You can easily tune the fit of the helmet thanks to the integrated Boa system that allows for one-handed adjustment with a quick turn of a dial in the back of the helmet. This system also evenly distributes pressure to optimize the fit around the entire head for all-day comfort. Since you're working up a good sweat when you're shredding but also have to contend with windchill, the helmet includes a customizable ventilation system that allows you to open or close the vents to your desired level of ventilation with a slider at the front of the helmet. Strategically placed ventilation channel also keep goggles from fogging up. When the windchill is high, a silky-soft long-haired fleece liner and earpads keep things nice and toasty. But if you prefer the feel of your own favorite beanie, you can make what Anon calls a "Simple Fit" adjustment, remove the liner and ear pads, and wear your beanie underneath the helmet instead. If you like your favorite songs playing in the background while you're hitting the powder, or want to stay connected to your phone, the helmet is compatible with a custom Skullcandy audio system that has an ear-pad mic and remote control option.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Kelly A Carroll, JD (Saint Louis University)
Description: An overview of legal and ethical issues that arise in patient care, this book is a compendium of legal case excerpts and case studies on an array of clinical healthcare topics.
Purpose: It offers an excellent selection of pertinent case opinions, accompanied by news articles and summaries of cases settled out of court.
Audience: The author has designed this book for students and healthcare professionals, and uses terminology accessible to laypersons. It seems most useful as a companion book in an educational setting; it does not contain a great deal of introductory or explanatory material. For professionals looking for a quick reference, the case-based format might be too time-consuming, but the summary notes and appendixes might be of use. Written by a nonlawyer for nonlawyers, the book provides informative overviews of legal concepts, but these should not replace legal advice. The author uses legal terminology improperly in a few instances, and makes generalized statements concerning legal principles that may or may not apply in a given jurisdiction. However, the author served as a hospital surveyor for The Joint Commission for many years, and he possesses significant expertise in healthcare administration, as well as an MBA in that field.
Features: The cases are organized by topic in order of the patient's progression through the health system, and chapters cover employee and patient safety, accreditation, and criminal conduct. Discussion questions follow each case, as well as a "closet drama" featuring historical figures in a fictional courtroom dealing with ethical and legal issues. Appendixes and summary notes round out the book, featuring regulations and legal concepts relevant to specific health professions and issues. While the book includes a glossary of terms and discussion questions, it does not provide instruction on how to synthesize and apply ethical and legal cases to new situations, nor does it instruct readers on the hierarchy of legal authority.
Assessment: The detailed table of contents, the inclusion of underrepresented topics like discharge planning and human resources, and the thought-provoking discussion questions following each case make this a helpful and easy-to-use teaching tool. However, if an educator uses this book in teaching healthcare law to health professions students, the students would benefit from another resource that explains legal analysis and interpretation, types and weight of legal authority, and federal and state healthcare agencies and their spheres of oversight.

I have a problem where when I add this CSS property -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; to a tag. The images on the website only shows up rounded in safari but not firefox.
Sorry for my english.
P.S Here's the website Click Here
Images in the sidebar ad area.
The problem is that you're not actually "rounding" the image itself… Just the border.
So to cure this problem, add a 1px solid border that's a bit darker than the background color to be able to see the effect. (if you make the border the same color as the bg, then the rounded border won't be visible, thus ruining the effect)
So to recap… You should change your css to look like this:
.ads img, .ads.flickr .content img { -moz-border-radius:4px; border:1px solid #777777; margin:0 14px 15px 0; }
Hope that helps!

The shift to abstraction also reflects where he is in his life. Now 34, married with a baby on the way, he's trying to slow down, incorporate more subtlety, and take more care with his pieces. He no longer feels driven by the manic energy that caused him to fling paint at the canvas. A friend teased him that the new work is too grown-up, and he's proud of that.
The paintings in "Serotonin; Happiness and Spiritual States" are cerebral, the palette slightly softened and the figure completely gone. Large canvasses are filled with the molecular structure of neurotransmitters, constellations of brain-altering atoms connected by lines that appear to swell and recede.
Other paintings re-create the hallucinatory visual effect of these neurotransmitters, what Brookes calls "bending the molecules' own effects back onto themselves."
What does Mark Quint think?
"Some viewers might see them as being a pretty radical change from his previous body of work. From a dealer's viewpoint, sudden changes can be confusing to collectors and potential collectors, but I think anyone who really looks at this new series is going to recognize and appreciate the continuing style of playful imagery, obsessive detail and unique painterly touch."
Brookes is at ease with the new direction. He considers it a step forward artistically while bringing him back to his scientific roots.
"I feel that I've been hamstrung because I spent so much of my life studying science. Now, with this show, I am using that knowledge. I stopped working at the biotech company and then I was like, 'I don't have anything to do with that anymore. Let's just go into art.' I felt like I was starting over new. It's not until this show that I've been able to combine those two. Now I'm standing on two legs."
