Snake Hollywood - Radio Silence
Artist: Snake Hollywood
Producer: NY Bangers
Album: My Condolences: Addendum
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 9 votes )
Loathing what's currently on the airwaves is practically a prerequisite for a career as an underground emcee, but it's been a hot minute since I heard someone rail as aggressively against mainsteam hip-hop as Snake Hollywood does on his latest single—which just so happens to be a Booth-exclusive world premiere. On Radio Silence, the follow-up to September's reader-approved Choke, the Brooklyn native denounces the lies, unoriginality and wack lyrics that have becomes status quo in the game. NY Bangers craft an ominous synth beat to back his hard-hitting bars. For more real, raw and unapologetically lyrical jams, cop My Condolences: Addendum when it drops digitally November 29.

BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot Broncos and the Bonneville Bees combined for 46 runs, 49 hits and well over five hours of baseball on Tuesday evening and at the end of the marathon day on the diamond, the two teams split the double header, with Bonneville winning 9-7 in game one and Blackfoot rebounding for a 19-11 win in the nightcap.
"Whenever you see Bonneville on the schedule it just sort of amps everything up," Blackfoot head coach Jeff Katseanes said. "To pick up a split is huge. Both teams are very good and I have to say, I like the way that our team are playing."

Here's the riddle
-it's a classic male scent, been around at least from 80s, maybe even 70's or earlier
-it has exceptionally strong sillage, it really leaves behind floating in a room when the person has left the room
-it's definately woody, dry and woody are maybe the best adjectives describing it, also spicy, unfortunately can't name the spicies
-formal and strong
-its NOT Drakkar Noir (which is the nearest scent i've found being somewhat similar to it), it's NOT Tsar, not Antaeus (which also has something similar),
NOT Gucci PH
-when i was young in the 80's i remember my first boss used this scent while i was sitting in his office at the employ interview
-it must be quite rare nowadays
I really would like to identify which fragrance this is. If it's still in production / available. As i said before, Drakkar Noir is the closest to it i have found - but that's not the one.
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
When was Your first boss wearing that fabulous fragrance? That will help me eliminate those mada after as so many great scents were made in the 80s. Dry, woody, spicy and not DN?????? Similar to DN, made much earlier were Pino Silvestre, Silvestre by Victor, all the Puigs - Quorum, Aqua lavanda, Aqua Brava. Azarro PH, Dunhill, Paco Rabanne PH, Jazz YSL came in 88 and is a tad sweeter than what You describe. Jules by Dior. Do You know how Brut original smells? Could be that one too. Van Cleef & Arpels is guite similar to Antaeus. Aramis and Polo were big then. If it was in Eurrope, chances are slim it would be Halston or Gray flannel, but one never knows. Jacomo? - many mmen wore it then.
Go to a shop and speak to some SA that new the market then! In every country, different frags were common or unheard of. Good luck!
Gucci Nobile.
It's Discontinued, And nearest scent to Drakkar Noir.

My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
I believe Aramis and Polo were big in Finland those days. If I had to stick with just one guess, I'd say it's Aramis. It certainly is dry, more so than most of the other realistic suggestions.
Aramis or Quorum?
Or Chaps by Ralph Lauren?
i'd opt for kouros or polo.
Coveri pour Homme, F. Smalto, Basile Uomo - I´ve found those two quite similar to Drakkar
Bowling Green is also said to be close to Drakkar in a way...but I haven´t tried it so far
anyway this question may be out of date as the scent could have been reformulated since the time and nowadays it is different (remember Oscar de la Renta/1981)...
Last edited by Morning Star; 4th October 2010 at 10:43 PM.
My immediate thought was on par with Volley's response: Kouros.
I'll go with Polo
My initial guess was Polo....
Hi and many thanks for your input!
You guys mention many brands that are unknown to me, so it's easier for me to exclude some that's i'm sure it's NOT at least:
(i hate to put down some good suggestions of you!) It's not Polo, Kouros, any of Aramis product line, Santos, Azzaro PH., Paco Rabanne, Grey Flannel, Quorum.
I will start searching based on your suggestions, other than i listed above. My own strongest guess says it could well be Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme. I already ordered a bottle as a blind buy (in my country they don't sell it, nor many others mentioned.). It was/is a truly amazing fragrance, and i have decided to find it (if it's still available). Will report here if i will
@ Nevena : It must have been around 1982, 1983.
I have exactly the same identify problem. EXACTLY THE SAME! When I find this thread, my heart almost jumped out. :-) And there is not any valid result. All these tips are not valid. Is there anybody out there, who can help me??? This mystery fragrance has Drakkar Noir soul with something like smooth and addictive tobacco note, whitch I found in Dolce & Gabbana pour homme (realesed in 1993). My last experince is, that this mystery note is resembled in Thierry Mugler ALIEN EDP !!! My investigation takes me many years and I have no valid result. Please help me (us). It was propably discontinued in early 90th, becauce since then I can´t smell it nowhere. (sorry for my imperfect english).
...Fragrantica calls Lomani pour Homme as most resembling to Drakkar noir, but that one is from 1987
Thanks for your response. Lomani is close to DN, but it is not what I seeking for.
Conspicuously absent from your portfolio is Halston Z-14. That's the only one I can come up with that you don't already own. Well, actually, VCAPH, despite the heavy, soapy rose note, may be what you're after because it is indeed on the dry side. Based on your location, Van Cleef would be more likely than Z-14?
This kind of threads always looks to me like looking for a needle in the ocean. There was dozens, if not hundreds of scents back then, at various degrees of quality and availability, which were all much similar one to another. Plus there was worldwide designer scents, but also tons of "local" cheaper scents which probably other countries never heard of... and so on. Some visual reference for the bottle may help!

Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
This story is from East Europe. In this time (80ties) there were not any local fragrance producers. There were only special shops for "western goods" (Chanel, Dior and other famous producers).

...what about Tuscany Per Uomo (1984)...??
Last edited by Russlan; 24th October 2014 at 01:25 AM.
Aramis, polo, azzaro ph
Strong bump. Then there's always the chance that
(a) they aren't remembering the scent correctly (e.g. it actually was Drakkar Noir but there are inaccuracies in recollection), or
(b) they remember the scent correctly, but thanks to reformulations the scent profile has changed enough to throw them off.
Could it be Paco Robanne Pour Homme or Puig Quorum ?!?
...Macassar by Rochas...??
...Jules by Dior...??
...Lauder for Men by Estée Lauder...?

Many thanks for your responses. I tested almost all 80-ties powerhouse frags (90% vintage version) and I didn´t find it. I tested clasic fragrance from 20-ties (Le Dandy for example), 30-ties (Caron Pour Un Homme, Dunhill for men ....) 50-ties clasics, 60ties and 70-ties classics (Aramis, Azzaro ...), vintage Houbigant Fougere Royal and all next potential frags. I hoped, that I something missed. But I am afraid that Darjeeling is right. May be that my senses was changed dramatically over this long time. In this case Drakkar Noir is probably the fragrance I finding for. During 80-ties in my country (Czech Republic) was only a few cheap realy horrible fragrances from domestic producers (Pitralon for example). In this contrast, Drakkar Noir had to be like mystery from another planet without any potencial domestic competitors and with gigantic wow efect. And level of the wow efect probably decreased after all these years. And there is another one important information. In this time this smell worn mainly African and Arabian college students (the only foreigners I met in this time). And it wasn´t Kouros.

ATHENS, Ga. – California's 55th-ranked Ben McLachlan defeated Illinois' eighth-seeded and eighth-ranked Jared Hiltzik, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, in the NCAA Singles Championship opening round of 64 on Wednesday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
McLachlan, a senior, next plays the winner of the first-round match between Denver's 106th-ranked Henry Craig and Oklahoma's 53rd-ranked Andrew Harris in the round of 32 on Thursday at a time TBA.
"Ben did an outstanding job of being patient and looking for opportunities," Cal head coach Peter Wright said. "Hiltzik has been tough for everyone in the country to beat this year, and he really made Ben work physically and mentally today. That's a great way for Ben to start the tournament."
On Thursday at 11:30 a.m. PT/2:30 p.m. ET, Cal's 28th-ranked pair of juniors Gregory Bayane and Chase Melton opens the NCAA Doubles Championship against Alabama's Nos. 5-8-seeded and seventh-ranked Becker O'Shaughnessey/Daniil Proskura.

On March 15, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General ("OIG") released the Updated OIG Guidelines for Evaluating State False Claims Acts ("2013 Guidelines"), which replaces the original version released in 2006 ("2006 Guidelines"). The 2013 Guidelines describe OIG's methodology for determining whether a state's Medicaid false claims law satisfies the four requirements in Section 1909(b) of the Social Security Act ("Act") that are necessary to qualify for a 10-percentage-point increase in the state share of Medicaid-related false claims recoveries.
The 2013 Guidelines also provide more specific insight into OIG's review process when evaluating state false claims laws and are based on OIG's experience in reviewing over 28 different state false claims laws. Unlike the 2006 Guidelines, the 2013 Guidelines reflect the three amendments to the federal False Claims Act ("FCA") that have occurred since Section 1909 of the Act was passed. Generally, these three amendments to the FCA, modified, in significant part, the bases for FCA liability; expanded the rights of qui tam relators; and added a requirement that civil monetary penalties ("CMPs") include adjustments under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990.

Good graphics, bad everything else
Where do I begin? The voice acting and character animations are about as bad as Resident Evil 1 from 96. The game has a bad tendency to not make much sense as far as the physics go. In the early goings of the game you can fall down a small little area and not be damaged, but if you should fall from a ladder, that's slightly higher, and I mean very slightly, you die. So you have all these powers to defeat enemies and be able to teleport even, maximize your blasting power, and you are also on the side of evil, but should you fall off a ladder, shame on you. The graphics are very nicely done and the game has a very nice and clean looking environment but there are alot of bad parts as well. Getting stuck on a basket for 1, barrels, ETC. I would say, if there does manage to be a sequel it had better at least focus more on the realistic aspect of a shooter game. The name of this game should have been, SAVE, cause if you don't, something dumb like a ladder fall, will make you redo parts you already got bored of.
Also try gogamer dot com if you want to buy the game and play it. It's only 9.90 there, and believe me that's all it's worth.

Q:Can I use this "urethane" d-ring on a PVC boat?Asked on 4/1/2013 by 6-5 from Aztec, NM
6 answers
A:It didn't work for me! The reason, it turns out, is that each material requires a different adhesive for strongest attachment. I think it would work for a foot cup or something with less stress on it, but a D-ring by definition is has force applied to it.Answered on 4/1/2013 by Anonymous
A:Check to see if NRS sells PVC D-rings. It's always best to match materials and use proper adhesives when bonding synthetics.

The website was one listed in an NRS "Can you help a fellow shopper" email to me, where a guy was trying to figure out if NRS foot braces with urethane patches could be attached to an inflatable made by a British company that began with "Z". You might see if NRS saved that fellow's question.

Nicolaas Bloembergen; March 22, 1977
ABSTRACT: In this interview, Nicolaas Bloembergen discusses the history of the Harvard University physics department. Topics discussed include: Otto Oldenberg; Abraham Pais; Edward M. Purcell; nuclear magnetic radiance; Julian Schwinger; University of Leiden; Harvard University Division of Engineering and Applied Physics; Eli Yablonovitch.
Sopka:This is Katherine Sopka speaking. Im visiting today, March 22, 1977 with Professor Nicholaas Bloembergen in his office in Pierce Hall. In the interest of compiling a history of the Physics Department in recent decades, Professor Bloembergen has kindly consented to share with me today his recollections and perspectives on developments within the department, since he first served as an Assistant in Physics in 1946. Professor Bloembergen, perhaps we can best begin by asking you to comment on your pre-Harvard background and upon the circumstances surrounding your coming to Harvard in 1946.
Bloembergen:Yes, I came to Harvard in 46, fairly early in the year, because I always wanted to do my thesis at another location than where I did my formal course studies. I had obtained my so-called Doctoral, which is more than a Masters here — its about equivalent to passing the qualifying exam, and to go on for thesis research. And in Holland that meant I could do my thesis research anywhere and submit my thesis at any Dutch university to get the Doctorate. So, when I started my studies I had thought of Germany and Switzerland, but clearly after the War and the German Occupation, that was out. Switzerland and England were the only countries that werent completely devastated by the war theatre, but they hardly were in a position to accept foreign students because they had so many problems to cope with in their own reconstruction and with all the refugees, and whatnot. So at the strong encouragement of my relatives, I just wrote a few letters to American Universities I had heard of rather at random, having read, or rather, glanced through some Physical Reviews in the library from pre-war days. I wrote to Harvard University to be admitted as a student, also to the University of Chicago, and the University of California at Berkeley. I never got a response from Chicago — I did get a letter of regret from Berkeley, reminding me that the war in Japan was still going on, this was June and July of 45. Of course in Europe, you werent aware of those other problems — for us, the war was just over. The Harvard Chairman of the Physics Department, Otto Oldenberg wrote back a very nice letter asking me to submit more materials, and then they would process my application. Then there were other roadblocks. It turned out that I was admitted, but the funding was a problem, and although my father was willing to put up the Dutch equivalent, the restrictions on exchange of currency were enormous, and it would require a very special permit to convert guilders into dollars in those days. What it involved were special trips to the Hague and Amsterdam in cattle cars, because the railroads were in a deplorable situation after the German Occupation, and there were trains maybe once a day. There was a long series of cattle cars in which people stood up to travel from one city to the next. The argument I used to get my permit was that I was among about 20 Dutch students on a list of the Department of Education in Holland — The Ministry of Education, to have first preference to go ahead.
Sopka:How old were you at that time?
Bloembergen:I was twenty-five, I was born in 1920. I was with Abraham Pais who later came to Princeton, the two recommended Physics students. At that time funds in the U.S., such as from the Rockefeller Foundations and other foundations, were only given in the Humanities and perhaps the Social Sciences, but the Natural Sciences, as I later learned, were considered...too sensitive, from the point of view of the National Security, so that the U.S. government would not encourage people to come in the sciences. So my argument was then, look, the Ministry of Education in The Hague considered me qualified to go, I have been admitted as a private student, my father is willing to put up the money, so the least you can do is give me a permit. That worked. And there was only one bank, the main national bank, in Amsterdam, that could handle that transaction in those peculiar days of pre-Marshall aid. So, I came with a permit to convert 5,000 guilders into $1,800 — which was just enough for a year at Harvard in those days. And the man asked, Who are you?, and I said, Well, Im a student. But the reason he asked, he said, was because theyd only had a few professors, and they could convert $500 because they would go for...maybe a couple of weeks. And then there were some tulip bulbs dealers, and they were the only people who could commercially bring in some dollars, so they got a permit too. So I was the first permit of over $1,000. I had to travel on a Liberty Freighter, which went back in ballast...they brought grain to Rotterdam, and that was a very slow trip of 18 days or more. We landed in Philadelphia rather than New York because there was a port strike going on. So I took the train up to Boston, and I arrived on the scene...Professor Oldenberg received me, and then I looked around to see where I could do my thesis work. Of course, it so happened that Professor Purcell had just discovered experimentally, nuclear magnetic resonance. And I was a little bit aware of it since I had an earlier interest in magnetism with Professor Gorter in Leyden. This subject appealed to me and I saw the challenge, so I asked to work with him and became his first graduate student. Then after a year and a half, I had done all my thesis work and I was very fortunate that both Purcell and Pound were very busy during the first eight months, finishing up writing the History of the MIT Radiation Laboratory and I was able to learn a great deal and had to do all the work in the laboratory essentially on my own. It was good for learning the intricacies and for catching up on the topic in general — it was a very stimulating time.
Sopka:Had you been able at home to do much laboratory work during those war years?
Bloembergen:Well, some from 1941-43 (the University was closed in early 43) and from 43 to 45 I had done absolutely nothing in the laboratory. So I was way behind... I was a pre-war vintage physicist in those days, although I was well prepared in the basics of classical mechanics and electromagnetism...statistical mechanics. But behind in Quantum Mechanics — I had to learn that. I took a course with Professor Schwinger to catch up. I taught Quantum Mechanics to myself at home after the University was closed, reading H.A. Kramers text book Quantum Theorie des Electrons und der Strahling by the light of a kerosene lamp, but there was no kerosene in it, just some heavy oil, and the lamp had to be cleaned every hour.
Sopka:At what point in your growing-up years did you decide on a career in Physics?
Bloembergen:Well, that was about when I was 18, just after graduation, because I found it very challenging. I think one of the most challenging things — thats why I took it. I like Mathematics but not as much as to become a pure mathematician, so I chose Physics right away as a student starting as a freshman. I had already one or two publications before 42; I was already initiated by more advanced graduate students in the physics lab of the University of Utrecht. So in about a year I had enough for a thesis, and although they encouraged me to take general exams here and get the PhD at Harvard, I decided to go back because I didnt have the funds. That would have meant spending several months passing exams, and in Holland you dont have to pass any exams, so I went back. I could become a post-doc in Leyden at the Kamerlenjoh-Onnes Lab, which was sort of attractive, to apply magnetic resonance techniques at very low temperatures which very soon became a very big field of research. But before I returned, I was already interviewed by the Senior Fellows of the Society of Fellows because both Professor Van Vleck who was Chairman of the Department and Professor Purcell decided I had a good chance to become a Junior Fellow. And sure enough, after a year in Holland I was elected to The Society of Fellows and I decided to return after a very fruitful stay of a year and a half in Leyden. Well, I dont know where we should go from here. I came back to Harvard as a Junior Fellow and became Associate Professor in 51. That was tenure in those days — I jumped from the Society of Fellows right into tenure.
Sopka:As a Junior Fellow, were you working independently or were you again working with people like Professor Purcell and Professor Pound?
Bloembergen:No, I decided to try my hand at other things. I wanted to learn about microwaves and I worked in what was known as the Vanserg Building, a wooden building in which during the war years Professor Van Vleck and Chaffee had worked, which you have already probably recorded. They had microwave equipment there and I did microwave magnetic resonance in ferromagnetic materials and then I used the last part of my Society of Fellows period learning nuclear physics, and I worked for a year or more at the Cyclotron. In retrospect, that may have been a mistake, but it certainly broadened my outlook. I realized that the pastures in experimental solid state physics were greener and more adapted to my style, and Purcells style of small individual things rather than working with a team and a big machine. So I returned to magnetic resonance after I had worked in the Cyclotron.
Sopka:You were a Junior Fellow within the Physics Department...?
Bloembergen:No, Junior Fellows are in the University, and the work in the Vanserg Building was really with Professor Chaffee. I think he was jointly Physics and Applied Physics as it was then called, so I didnt work in the Physics Department at that time. Of course when I went to the Cyclotron building, that was back in Physics. I worked there with Van Heerder and Professor Ramsey was Director at that time I believe, or was it Livingston...?
Sopka:No, it was Ramsey who was then Director of the Nuclear Program at Harvard in its various parts. When you were appointed an Associate Professor in 51, was that within the Division of Engineering and Applied Science?
Bloembergen:That was in the Division...the Physics Department said they were worry but at that time at most they could offer me was Assistant Professorship, and I said in that case I ought to go to Chicago where they also had an Assistant Professorship that was considerably higher paying and much more of a challenge. So, then I got tenured right away in the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics...Van Vleck became the Dean, and of course that was a period of rapid growth in the Division. In a way, it was nice — I was completely independent of Professor Purcell, who might otherwise have dominated the scene, although not by his design but because of his outstanding stature. I think it was better for a young man to branch out...so thats what happened. In that sense I did not contribute further to the history of the Physics Department, although I always kept very close contact with many members of the Department, especially Purcell, Pound, Ramsey, Van Vleck, and to a lesser extent with the others.
Sopka:Well actually, its not possible to view the Physics Department in isolation because there are so many interconnections both of programs and people, with the Division in particular.
Bloembergen:In my view, what was decided really, basically was to use the money of the Gordon McKay Endowment in Mechanical Engineering but, as a result of the Vannevar Bush Report, Mechanical Engineering would start with solid state physics and related subjects. So they were built up in those days in the Division and I think that freed the limited funds of the Physics Department to expand into high energy physics and nuclear physics where there was a very pressing need, and so they decided to emphasize those frontiers, whereas solid state physics and in particular magnetic resonance and some related things were developed more in the Division...which is a fair division of labor.
Sopka:Have the students who have worked with you then been entirely from the Division or have you also supervised others?
Bloembergen:Oh no, Ive supervised many students from Physics. I dont know how many but I would guess about one-third out of about 45 or 46 — fifteen or so came from Physics. They did their thesis in by lab, but formally got their PhD degrees in Physics. We have this system of collaboration between the Departments. There really is very little distinction in certain areas, requirements are very similar.
Sopka:I realize that its almost impossible to compare life in the Harvard Physics Department or in the Division with the situation in Europe, but I wonder if you have any perspective on science in Europe as you knew it growing up, and now the way it is all over the world, and in particular at Harvard.
Bloembergen:Nowadays in Europe, things are more like the Departments here. When I had left it was a system where there was one chair, and there was a Professor and he was director of the lab and everybody else was way below him. In fact, there was at that time no room for me. I might very well have ended up in Holland again if their offers had come a little earlier and with a little more, but as it was, it was too little too late. So then in Holland and other western European countries the big spurt in science really came at the end of the 50s and all during the 60s. But of course, in this country it exploded immediately right after the war... but they had this delay due to economic reconstruction in the countries. And now they have many chairs, many professorships in Physics, and so on, and labs as big as ours and probably better equipped at this time than ours.
Sopka:Have you spent much time in Europe...either in Holland or elsewhere?
Bloembergen:Well I think traditionally, the Rumford Professor of Physics went to a physicist who had an interest and active participation in practical applications of physics as well, probably in the image of Rumford himself. And I understand it, its the second oldest endowed chair in the United States in the Natural Sciences, but you as a historian can correct me if that is not so.
Sopka:I wouldnt want to make a statement earlier than my period of expertise.
Bloembergen:Well, if you are a historian you could check up on it.
Sopka:I could certainly check up on it...
Bloembergen:Well my predecessors as far as I know them included G.W. Pierce. I heard a Physics Colloquium by G.W. Pierce...he had already retired at the time but he was interested in the sound of crickets, and ran a tape at different speeds so you could hear the sound that crickets made. Of course, he was famous in classical electronics. Then Professor Chaffee who was well known for his work in high power tripodes (?) and vacuum tubes held the Chair. I believe he was in both the Physics Department and the Applied Physics Department.
Sopka:Yes, he was.
Bloembergen:Well, of course with the reorganization all that was changed. The people who formerly had combined appointments, like Professor Hunt in acoustics, then became members of the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics, and Professor Hunt held the Rumford Chair before me. Professor Hunt was in acoustics, and Im sort of in lasers and optics now — quantum electronics.
Sopka:Do you want to make any comment about your present research interest and activity?
Bloembergen:Well, its a very exciting field. It has a very large activity all over the world; I enjoy my international travels because of it and the high level of scientific effort in many countries. I find that makes it a very exciting field. It was sort of a natural development for me, although there are other paths and other people came into it in different ways. I started with nuclear magnetic resonance, went on to microwave resonance, that led to the solid state mass which is described in that article. It had a big impact because the pumping scheme to get inverted populations and negative temperatures as first discussed by Purcell and Pound in the Physics Department in nuclear magnetic resonances (where it had no practical significance), really led to masers which are still used as low noise amplifiers in our deep space receiving antennas in the trans-Atlantic communication link via Telstar. Receiving stations use the masers, and some of the big radio telescopes use them. Then, that same mechanism of establishing inverted populations was used in all lasers. So I decided to get into optics — I wish I had had the idea myself to apply lasers to optic first, but I didnt. But I went in and I used the lasers to study the properties of matter at very highlight intensities, which is the field of non-linear optics. I think we are one of the leading universities and laboratories in that area, since we came in at the very beginning.
Sopka:And yet, is it a field in which you can work, not completely independently, but at least not as part of a large team with complicated funding procedures?
Bloembergen:Small groups...the equipment is very modest by present day standards, and students can work almost by themselves, on the individual experiments or sometimes they team up in twos and threes. But its a small, individual project.
Sopka:Its nice to know there are fields like that for people who simply arent psychologically attuned to working in large groups, and doing a lot of traveling as it turns out now people in high energy physics around here must do.
Bloembergen:Very recently, one of my colleagues, Professor Yablonovitch did a research paper on a very exciting new topic which is multiphoton disassociation of poly-atomic molecules with some undergraduates, and the research project led to published results. Its a very, very simple table-top experiment, and it just shows you that small scale experiments can still be done and lead to research at the frontiers of Physics.
Sopka:Thats nice to know! Do you have any general perspective on the Physics Department or Physics at Harvard that you want to comment on?
Bloembergen:Well, I always felt that, probably by necessity they had to, in order to stay in the competition, emphasize too much the high energy physics field...at the detriment of atomic and solid-state physics. Now they had to financially, and they could argue also that solid-state physics is done in the Division. But I think it slants the flavor and outlook of the Department when you split up Physics that way. And I am very happy to see now, in the 70s that they are coming back from this course — which I really did not think was in the best interests of the Physics Department. They are coming back from this course for the very important and practical reasons, that of course its very much harder for students in high energy physics to find jobs. People begin to realize that interesting physical questions still exist, in what were the more classical aspects of the field, such as electromagnetism and radiation problems, fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics and phase transitions. Now all these are again studied with new intensity.
Sopka:Presumably, not only are there interesting questions, but there also are employment possibilities in terms of their practical applications.
Bloembergen:So, the students themselves shift away — they see the handwriting on the wall, and so the department had to accommodate that too. But I think what will happen is that the Division may well then de-emphasize solid state physics in the future because Physics is re-appropriating it.
Sopka:In your own work have you always had a blend of experimental and theoretical concerns?
Bloembergen:Thats correct, and I like to operate that way. I consider myself an experimental physicist first, but I like to combine experiment and theory. I think that makes for a very useful and also interesting combination because it means you can pick your experimental topics with theoretical insight. Also, if you find something new and unexpected you can work out the theory, at least in rudimentary form...I find that fascinating.
Sopka:It gives you more of a total picture of your own work than if you were relying on others for the theoretical developments and following along.
Bloembergen:So, I still get students both from Physics and the Division and I personally always kept bridges and contacts open, and I enjoy it.
Sopka:Well there seems to be a very good feeling between the two entities, one the Department and the other the Division — at the present time certainly.
Bloembergen:In retrospect, from a historical point of view, it may have been a blessing in disguise that there was not room for me in the Physics Department, because it forced me to find my own way and go my own way, without too much close contact with Purcell, and other very famous people. I could show that I could make it on my own (chuckle).
Sopka:You have not had to take on administrative responsibilities at any point within your career?
Bloembergen:No, I was never forced to, and I think nobody is forced to, if he lets it be known that he isnt very keen on doing it — then, he may escape (laughter).
Sopka:It allows you to pursue your own work. I guess the reason that sometimes one is forced into taking administrative positions is because you just feel that...somebody has to do it, and maybe you could do it a little bit better than some of the other people who might be appointed there, or something like that.
Bloembergen:Well, I probably let it be known that I probably couldnt do it better than anybody else (laughter).
Sopka:Well I thank you very much for telling me these things, and I appreciate your calling to my attention these reports. Ill make a note of them at the end of the tape — of their existence, so that if theyre used sometime later...
Bloembergen:You can take some personal notes out of it...especially in the early part, it has more to do with the Physics Department.
Sopka:Yes. Well, in setting up these oral history tapes they do like to know something about the background — the personality of the person, as well as the specific commitments right now.
Bloembergen:Of course, I forgot to mention that many of my colleagues and myself as well are regularly teaching in the Physics Department...you know that.
Sopka:I knew that you do teach courses. Are there any courses that you particularly enjoy teaching?
Bloembergen:Well yah, I enjoy teaching the electromagnetic theory course, Physics 232 a and b. I taught these last years, and I will teach 232a again next fall. I enjoy that...I also taught the intermediate electromagnetic course, Physics 131, 132 — now its called 153.
Sopka:Have you ever had elementary courses assigned to you?
Bloembergen:Not in Physics.
Sopka:Well, again I thank you, and unless you have some further comment...
Bloembergen:No, but after reading those papers, if you have any further questions please dont hesitate to call me.
Well, thats very kind.

All this, says Prof. Pitaru, is derived from a miniscule biopsy of tissue, measuring 1 by 2 by 3 millimeters. "We are able to grow trillions of stem cells from this small piece of tissue," he explains. The site of the biopsy is readily accessible, and patients experience minimal discomfort and require almost no healing time. This makes the mouth a convenient site for harvesting stem cells.
A safe and effective alternative
Prof. Pitaru and his fellow researchers are currently in pre-clinical trials, implanting these stem cells into various tissues within small rodents. Their projects include researching the impact of the innovative cells as a treatment for chronic heart failure; neurodegenerative diseases; inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease; and diabetes.
These diseases are most likely to affect the elderly, and the oral mucosa stem cells would offer a more safe and effective alternative to both embryonic and adult-derived stem cells. Despite their therapeutic potential, patients would be required to take immunosuppressant therapies when being treated with implanted embryonic cells to ensure that the body does not reject the foreign cells. Once implanted, embryonic stem cells often cause tumors to form, Prof. Pitaru says. "Stem cells taken from the tissue of elderly patients have growth limitations and reduced functional capacities."
Stem cells derived from the oral mucosa, however, avoid the pitfalls of their predecessors. Because they stay young, they behave as fetal cells, but there is no danger of rejection because they are taken directly from the patient. And they show no signs of developing the aggressive tumors tha

WORKING at the district and divisional level and facing considerable challenges has prompted former Commissioner Western Commander Joeli Cawaki to contest the election.
Cdr Cawaki will contest as a FijiFirst candidate and said his number one priority was development in the rural areas.
"I am hopeful that FijiFirst will be able to get it through this election," he said.
"I will focus mainly on development and the things that I have been doing in office as the Commissioner Western.
"As I said, I would like to see that the divisional development plan for the Western Division is realised."
He said a lot still needed to be done in terms of developing the Western Division, which Cdr Cawaki said was where a significant amount of the country's GDP was from.
"A lot needs to be done in terms of building the capacity of people and we have realised the potential is there. If we have focus on rural growth, much can be achieved."
He said as soon as he heard about the line-up of the first batch of candidates made by Prime Minister Rear Admiral (Ret) Voreqe Bainimarama, he knew he had to join.
"I needed to join because sometimes it is very frustrating if we want something done or things to move forward at the divisional level, they stop at national level."

Well, most of my extended family doesnt know about my love for the penis, so they dont have a reason to disown me
I'm sure it's not the worst thing to ever come out of my ass
I have no idea. But I feel like I could climb a mountain and then have sex on it.
that was THE gayest party i've ever been to
To be fair, the theme was Cabaret. I don't know what you were expecting.
You need to call dibs on the blond with the tits. It's your birthday.
Because if someone gets to see those.. It should be you. It's like God telling you Happy Birthday.
I'm going to make out with someone. I'm on a mission. I don't even care if I'm wearing beer goggles. As long as he's not shorter than me, gay, or a woman.
I'm doing laundry from this weekend.. That poor shirt I wore to the rave smells like a dead animal that rolled in weed and pain..
I made it with a guy dressed as Mitt Romney. I told him "you can't have my vote, but you can have my body"
I can't wet the bed. That was the old me. I'm grown
It's national boyfriend day supposedly, would it be appropriate if I posted a picture of my dildo?
I'm about to fuck a girl in an old school Tony Kukoc Bulls jersey. About to earn my third championship ring in sex
Stop making Mac and cheese and sit on his face. FINISH HIM
He was rocking just a diaper, shoes, and a gun. Sadly, I would still hit it.
We tried to make ramen in a glass bowl on the stove. They called facilities to pick the glass out of the door

The strength of your future career depends on the depth of your professional network. Handing out business cards and occasionally pinging people on social media isn't enough to create the kind of deep connections that can drastically improve your legal career. Let's take a look at four ways you can strengthen your professional network.
- Choose your contacts wisely. You can't be close to everyone. There are simply not enough hours in a day. That's why it's important to choose which connections you want to deepen. Pick only those people who can offer you something of value and with whom you have something in common.
- Listen closely. Pay close attention to what the most important people in your network are saying. What are their biggest concerns? What causes do they support? What are their needs and goals? By focusing on what the VIPs of your professional network are saying, you can get a better idea of how you can deepen your connection with them.
- Make them money. One of the easiest ways to strengthen a professional network is to send money making opportunities their way. Is one of the people in your network looking for work? Refer them to a law firm or send them job opportunities you run across. Is another looking to start a solo law practice? Share helpful articles on how to build a thriving business.
- Support their causes. Have you noticed that someone in your professional network shares your passion for a particular cause? Let them know. Send them notices about events and news related to the cause. Invite them to attend an event with you that's related to the cause. But make sure your interest is genuine. People will notice if you're faking it.
As you take action to deepen your professional connections, check for reciprocity. Are the people you're reaching out to doing the same for you? If not, then focus your energy on those who do.

History note
Built at Leipzig in 1939 by Erla Maschinenwerk and was operated by the 4th Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 26 (4/JG26) based at Marquise-Ost. The aircraft carried a white figure 4 with black outline and had previously carried the double chevron insignia of a Gruppen Kommandeur - believed to have been Hauptmann Karl Ebbighausen of 11/JG26. Five of Ebbighausen's victory markings appeared on the fin (two Dutch dated May 13, 1940, one French or Belgian dated May 18, 1940 and two RAF dated May 25 and June 14, 1940. The aircraft was being flown by Unteroffizier Horst Perez on September 30, 1940 when it was attacked by Hurricanes over Beachy Head, later belly-landing in a field at Eastdean, Sussex with only superficial damage. It was taken to the Royal Aircraft Establishment and was later dispatched to the United States and Canada where it was used for exhibition purposes in connection with the 'Bundles for Britain' campaign. It arrived by sea in Nova Scotia early in 1941 and the following June is known to have been exhibited in the New York area. Fug 7a radio equipment appears to have been removed in USA in 1941, for testing and evaluation by Lear Avia, Piqua, Ohio. Its fate is unknown. See the journal, Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology; 1941, Vol 13, Issue 12, and 1942 Vol 14 Issue 6. At the end of the hostilities it was delivered to the Arnprior Research Establishment in Ontario and in November 1966 it returned to the UK for restoration at Hurn Airport near Bournemouth.

Good location near plenty of shops and not far from the harbour. Hostel is clean and also seems quite lively. Offers great shark diving and room packages (cheapest we saw). Unfortunately the hostel had overbooked the dorm which led us sharing a single bunk however the staff willingly compensated us for this hiccup in the morning with no problems. Was overall happy with service.

Burnley boss Owen Coyle is full of praise for on-loan Middlesbrough fullback Rhys Williams.
The 20-year-old starred for the Clarets at right- back in an important 2-1 win over bottom club Charlton Athletic 24 hours after agreeing to the loan deal at Turf Moor.
Of Williams' first game, Coyle said: "I thought it was an absolutely magnificent debut from somebody who had just turned 20 years of age, with the athleticism he showed and being comfortable on the ball.
"Rhys only trained with the boys on Friday for an hour or so, but it was a magnificent debut.
"For me, he put the cross of the match in during the first half that should have resulted in a goal.
"He'll go on to be a top, top player, and hopefully we can help him here as much as he can help us.
"He's one with a big future. I tried to get him in the summer, and he falls into the blueprint of what we're trying to do at the football club, with young, athletic, energetic players coming in to complement the ones that we have and I hope the rest of his games are as good as that.
"I really believe he'll go back to Middlesbrough a far better player for the experience of playing with us, and I'm sure he can help us in the meantime."

Podcast on Border Searches, National Security, & the Reasonable Expectation of Digital Privacy
On September 25, 2013, the Federalist Society's Criminal Law & Procedure Practice Group produced a podcast of its Teleforum on "Border Searches, National Security, and the Reasonable Expectation of Digital Privacy." Participating were Brian Hauss, Legal Fellow at the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, and Andrew J.P. Levy, Former Deputy General Counsel at the Department of Homeland Security. Christian Corrigan, FedSoc's Director of Publications, served as the moderator.
You can listen to the podcast here.
The subject of the Teleforum was the Ninth Circuit's decision in United States v. Cotterman, in which the court held en banc that government officials must have "reasonable suspicion" before conducting forensic searches of laptops at the U.S. border. The court's ruling is a departure from the general rule permitting suspicion-less border searches in the interests of national security.
Hauss explained that forensic searches are those that go beyond simply opening up a laptop or similar electronic device and looking at files. Forensic searches include breaking passwords, unencrypting files, and recovering deleted files. To shed light the Cotterman decision, Hauss the earlier case House v. Napolitano, which the ACLU recently settled with the government. According to the facts of the case, David House is an MIT computer scientist who was part of the support network for Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army soldier who was accused of giving secret documents to WikiLeaks. The federal government wanted to question House regarding his connection to WikiLeaks but, according to Hauss, there was no basis for suspecting he was engaged in any criminal activities.
Having set up an alert to be notified the next time House would re-enter the country after he had left, the Department of Homeland Security took House into custody when he arrived back in the U.S. at O'Hare airport. DHS seized his electronic devices, examined them, and took them to DHS headquarters. DHS made a forensic copy of the data and held onto the devices for seven weeks while searching through them. After those seven weeks, the ACLU became involved and set a demand letter to the government that resulted in the devices being returned. The forensic analysis itself lasted seven more months. The ACLU filed a lawsuit making a Fourth Amendment claim that the government required some quantum of suspicion to justify the investigation. The ACLU also made a First Amendment claim on the grounds that the government had targeted House based on his political activities. The District Court held that although no reasonable suspicion was required to search the laptop and similar devices at the border, the continuing seven weeks of custody of the devices did require some reasonable degree of suspicion. The court also held that House had a valid First Amendment claim.
Hauss said that the court's decision was notable in three ways. First, documents revealed that the government had had no suspicion that House was carrying contraband. Rather, the government's purpose in searching his laptop was to obtain information it could not have obtained within the country. Second, the case demonstrates just how invasive some laptop searches can be—compare how the Cotterman decision called the search in that case "a digital strip-search." The search of House's computer included not just documents potentially related to WikiLeaks but his personal photos, financial information, etc. And third, the government concluded that there was zero evidence that House was engaged in any criminal activity, and that there had been no basis for seizing his devices.
According to Hauss, the Cotterman decision is not a perfect fix for legal questions regarding border searches but it does address a number of problems that arose in House. For one thing, it makes it harder for the government to employ border searches for purposes other than for which they were intended—above all, customs protection. The Cotterman decision also addresses significant privacy and inconvenience issues and it professionalizes the search process, making it more difficult to engage in searches based on impermissible criteria.
Andrew Levy spoke next. He began by providing context for border protection. He said that 4.5 million travelers cross the border a year, and border agents must enforce 600 different laws, including those regarding child pornography, human trafficking, immigration, drugs, intellectual property, espionage, and terrorism. The breadth of those laws is wider than Hauss suggested, he said.
He continued by noting that the Supreme Court has long recognized that the government has an inherent interest in securing the country's borders, and that there is a "border search exception" to travelers' Fourth Amendment rights. In practice, any search at the border is per se reasonable (with a few exceptions). Border agents typically have just seconds to decide whether to refer a traveler to secondary screening. Sometimes agents have advanced information but other times rely on what Levy termed "law enforcement expertise, sometimes known as 'hunches'." As an example of an important correct hunch, Levy pointed to the Millennium Bomber, Ahmed Ressam. An agent thought Ressam's behavior unusual, and a subsequent search of his car turned up thousands of pounds of explosives he intended to detonate at Los Angeles International Airport.
Levy said that the investigative tool of searching laptops has in fact been very rarely used. Of over 200 million persons entering the country, only 1,000 laptops were searched. And there were only 46 in-depth searches. These searches have yielded helpful findings, including discovering nuclear information and videos of IEDs being exploded.
Levy made two distinctions. First, the distinction between arriving aliens and U.S. citizens: Although the case law is muddled, there are limitations on the due process rights of aliens. The second distinction is that between ordinary law enforcement and national security. The latter raises the "special needs exception" to the Fourth Amendment, which applies when the purpose of the search is not for ordinary law enforcement—such as drunk-driver checkpoints or searches of schools for drugs for the sake of student safety.
Prior to the Cotterman decision, case law going all the way up the Supreme Court was very clear that the there is a broad exception to Fourth Amendment rights at the border except for non-routine searches—namely, very invasive searches of persons as via a strip-search. Such a limitation of the border search exception had never been applied to the search of property or things. An earlier Ninth Circuit decision made no distinction between paper and electronic data: if all of the contents of a shipping container can be searched, so too can the contents of a laptop. However, no cases had ever touched upon the issue of in-depth searches nor that of the requirement of reasonable suspicion.
In Cotterman, there were four levels of investigation: the initial laptop search, technical assistance (to read encrypted or password-protected files) in-depth analysis, and the copying and retention of data. Levy said that the the degree of suspicion required for a search probably does increase as one moves up the levels.
Levy was concerned that the holding in Cotterman creates a huge loophole for criminals trying to enter the country who wish us ill. Now they know that all they need to do is encrypt or password-protect incriminating evidence. Levy also said he thought the Cotterman decision creates an unworkable standard: What precisely is a forensic exam? Is it simply breaking into encrypted documents, or does it include analyzing the information one has? He also said the decision is problematic doctrinally since it will apply to border searches more complex than that in Cotterman, which regarded child pornography, the evidence of which is clear on its face. In other areas, however, such as terrorism, the data needs to be translated or otherwise analyzed to know what one is looking at. He further predicted the decision will have a chilling effect on border agents, who will be less inclined to perform laptop searches due to the risk of litigation.

China approves $196b of new infrastructure projects
Published on Sep 7, 2012 5:53 PM
SHANGHAI (AFP) - Some 55 infrastructure projects announced by China this week could require investment of more than 1 trillion yuan (S$196 billion), a state media said on Friday.
The China Securities Journal said the figure was a "conservative estimate" for spending on projects announced Wednesday and Thursday by the top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission.
The government needed to open more funding channels for infrastructure, including allowing banks to relax controls on credit for projects, the newspaper quoted unnamed industry sources as saying.
On Wednesday, the commission announced it had approved 25 new urban railway projects, in a sign the government is ramping up infrastructure spending to boost the country's flagging economy.

The web server started having problems at about 12:20 PM today, sometimes it recovered and when I initially tested things it seemed to continue to be working. However sometime later this evening it quite responding to page requests. I was able to remotely connected to it and reboot it successfully as of 6 PM. MySQL will be restored shortly if it hasn't been yet. -Carl Dinse Eskimo North Support | Voice Numbers - (206)812-0051 or 800-246-6874 email@example.com | Voice help available 9am to 5pm (PST) Mon-Fri PO Box 55816 | (Temporarily closed Saturday and Sunday) Seattle, WA 98155-0816 | Fax us at - (206)812-0054

Case Study: Gateway Funding
Gateway Funding Trades Tape for Fast EVault Backups and Restores
Helping borrowers achieve the dream of home ownership, Gateway Funding is committed to delivering quality solutions and excellent customer service.
Virtualization Requires Faster, More Streamlined Data Protection
Gateway's back-office IT operations help keep things running smoothly for the company's customers and employees. Yet when faced with application growth, heavy-duty server use and the need to keep IT operations as lean as possible, the Gateway IT team realized the time had come to virtualize the company's servers with VMware. Protecting that virtualized infrastructure became a top priority.
As Gateway's network engineers began the move to virtualization with more powerful 64-bit servers, the company's slower tape backup infrastructure came into question. The company had been using Symantec (formerly Veritas) Backup Exec with Quantum (formerly ADIC) Scalar tape libraries. Director of Information Technology, Dan Catinella, and Network Engineer Paul Famularo realized the organization needed to start looking for a better solution to protect their now faster, growing environment. Said Famularo, "After virtualization, we realized our tape backup solution no longer satisfied what we wanted and where we wanted to go."
Tape Falls Short for HQ and Remote Offices
Gateway faced many of the same data-protection issues that often plague growing application environments that use legacy tape backup infrastructures. These included nightly backups that took far too long to complete, ongoing administrative headaches and recovery times that required hours of advance notice to ship the backup tape from offsite storage before any recovery process could even begin.
There were also ongoing time and cost issues involved in troubleshooting remote office backup procedures. "On average, we probably spent about 10 hours per week just making sure the remote offices logged the tapes, or handling situations where there may have been a problem or some type of server failure and we needed to remote into a server," said Famularo. The lean two-person IT team was wearing thin.
Partnership with Contour Data Solutions Delivers the Right Solution
Catinella and Famularo readily turned for help to Contour Data Solutions, a premier provider of strategic IT and data management solutions. Gateway's experience with Contour on other IT projects had earned their trust in Contour's advice. "There hasn't been a time they were wrong and couldn't provide an answer," said Catinella. "That earned my respect."
Contour suggested they take a closer look at EVault, A Seagate Company, and the company's EVault technology for data protection. Initially skeptical of the upfront investment required, the Gateway team was soon won over by EVault's affordability, and by an evaluation of the EVault® Plug-n-Protect all-in-one backup and recovery appliance. "I was initially concerned with how much a backup solution might cost," said Famularo. "But, after seeing the time saved and the benefits and savings at the remote offices as well, I decided this was a no-brainer."
Gateway ultimately deployed two EVault Plug-n-Protect appliances, with one active vault at the corporate office in Horsham, PA and a second, passive vault at Gateway's disaster recovery site in Reading, PA. EVault protects the data on 60 virtual machines that run on a handful of physical servers. To ensure data availability, EVault Replication automatically replicates active vault data to the off site, secondary vault. The passive vault can then assume backup and restore functionality should the active vault fail.
EVault Solution Pays for Itself
Long before implementation, EVault stood out as significantly more affordable than competing solutions. "We considered CA ARCserve and CommVault along with EVault's EVault. After checking the price at CommVault and all the other things we'd need, the expense was like a Fortune 500 solution. We didn't have a million dollars to spend!" Catinella said. "ARCserve was more of the same. We would still need to write to tape. Then, if we wanted to replicate offsite, it drastically increased the cost. For remote backups, we also still needed additional storage. ARCserve didn't compare with what EVault does out of the box with just three agents. . . By the time you calculate it over a 2–3 year timeframe, the amount you put into EVault has already paid for itself."
EVault support, where needed, has also been a significant improvement over what Gateway experienced with its prior Symantec/Veritas backup solution. "I've experienced support with Symantec and EVault. EVault is definitely better," Catinella said.
The Gateway IT team can't speak highly enough about the time it's saved with EVault on backup, recovery and overall backup job management—both locally and at Gateway's remote offices. There's the 10 hours per week they no longer spend on troubleshooting and remote job oversight. Then there's the 50+ percent speed improvement on nightly backup jobs—in some cases, going from multiple hours down to just 20 minutes.
There's also the estimated 2TB of open disk space saved on backup data stored in the vault itself, thanks to EVault compression and space-saving technologies like sourceside and back-end deduplication. Weekly data recovery tests are also now completed in short order—without needing to involve tape orders and deliveries from offsite storage. Famularo concluded, "With EVault, you just go in, start the EVault restore process and you're done. It's not complex at all. You can copy the jobs and scheduling is a breeze."
