Koreans add fantasy to puppet world
As one of the performances of "Asian Puppet Series", Hyundai Puppet Theatre from Korea will present "Puppet City: A Korean Fantasy" in October to showcase superb puppet performance techniques and traditional Korean culture.
"Watching the puppets is enjoyable enough, but watching their operators manipulating them can be utterly absorbing." – "The Scotsman"
In the show, there are Korean traditional music and dance, as well as modern puppetry. This extraordinary puppet show will please people of all ages. This show consists of many dances which were performed in the Royal House with Korean classical music. Audiences will enjoy and feel the traditional and modern aspect of Korean culture.
Hyundai Puppet Theatre was founded in 1962 by Yong-Suk Cho, who is still the artistic director. The troupe aims to foster the imagination and creativity of children, nurturing the seeds of their dreams, and promoting puppetry as a serious art, instead of being an entertainment just for children. They have previously produced many well-loved television shows in South Korea, including "Dr. Buri Buri" and "I Can Do It by Myself", and stage productions including "Korean Fantasy", "Marionette Concert" and "The Dream of Christmas".
The troupe has also toured many parts of the world including Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, Poland, Israel, UK and the Czech Republic and participated in Iida Puppet Festa in Japan, Haifa International Theatre Festival in Israel, Korczak Festival 2004 in Poland, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006. They have also received many awards such as Special Broadcasting Award and Best Puppet Drama.
Yong-Suk Cho has created many characters and television shows in Korea. He also supervised the production of many Olympics mascots including Sam for the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics and Hodori for the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics.
"Puppet City: A Korean Fantasy", presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, will be staged at 8pm, October 11 and 12 (Thursday and Friday) at the Theatre, Hong Kong City Hall; 8pm, October 13 (Saturday) at the Cultural Activities Hall, Tsuen Wan Town Hall; 8pm, October 14 (Sunday) at the Cultural Activities Hall, Sha Tin Town Hall. Tickets priced from $120 to $180 are now available at URBTIX outlets. Half-price tickets are available for senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistant (CSSA) recipients (limited tickets for CSSA recipients are available on a first-come, first-served basis). Please see group booking discount scheme in the programme leaflet. For details of other attractions of "Asian Puppet Series", please refer to promotion leaflet.

It is then left to the execution phase of the reepl (read-expand-execute-print loop) to evaluate that lambda expression and register it in the *syntax-environment*. Since the reepl always evaluates the top-level form right after expanding it, this gets the correct result in the end, but if you wanted your expand phase to produce an expanded form that could be executed separately, then this would be wrong. You would want you lambda form evaluated to a procedure and registered _by the expander_.
Thanks, yes, I also noticed that just two days ago. I'll propagate the fix to the next update.

Song Dynasty Scholars
The fundamental justification for the Chinese Imperial Exams was that appointees to civil service positions were not to be chosen through special or inherited privilege, but through an individual's own abilities. For centuries, the might of China was established militarily, often by emperors from humble origins who had toppled existing dynasties. However, once in control, these emperors soon realized that the actual governance of China would require the administrative services of thousands of bureaucrats. The civil service examination was thus a means for creating such a body of men, and it became a meritocratic strategy that was emulated by France and Britain in the nineteenth century when these countries began needing public servants for their far-flung imperial outpost.
The Chinese civil service exams began around the sixth century; by 115 CE a set curriculum had already become established for the so-called First Generation of exam takers. They were tested for their proficiency in the so-called
Six Arts
which included music, archery and horsemanship, arithmetic, writing and knowledge of the rituals and ceremonies of both public and private life. Between 200BCE-200CE, the curriculum had expanded to the
Five Studies.
The and examinations included military strategies, civil law, revenue and taxation, agriculture and geography in addition to the Confucian Classics.
By 1370 CE the scope and rigor of these exams were evident: t here were examinations lasting twenty-four and even seventy-two hours conducted in spare, isolated examination rooms.
Reproduction of Cell Used by Students
Taking the Imperial Exams
There were generally three levels of exams given at the local, provincial and national levels. District exams included testing the candidate on his knowledge of the classics, the ability compose poetry on given subjects using set poetic forms and calligraphy. At the provincial level examinations candidates were tested on the breadth of their studies in the Classics, and these examinations often last up to seventy-two hours. A candidate who passed the provincial level exam was termed
recommended man.
Those who had attained the
status were eligible for the national level exams. Passing that level of exams then raised an individual to the highest level possible--that of
or the so-called
presented scholar
At the national level exams, candidates were examined on the ability to analyze contemporary political problems in addition to the usual examinations based on the Classics. There were also additional highly prestigious special exams that were held occasionally by imperial decree. The less prestigious exams were those that were held to exam candidates in law, calligraphy, state ritual and military skills.
The success rates of these exams were extremely small: During the Tang Dynasty the passing rate was about two percent. The personal suffering that individuals underwent both in the preparation and in the taking of these exams has become part of Chinese lore. Candidates were known to repeatedly fail exams. Some committed suicide because of the disgrace that these failures brought to their families. Others continued taking exams even as very old, grey-haired men. For those who rose through the ranks by passing these exams and being selected for administrative positions, it meant that their clans or families also rose in social prestige and wealth.
The meritocratic nature of these exams has been noted in Chinese history: During the Ming Dynasty nearly half, about 47 percent, of those who passed the highest level examinations were from families with no official connections.

"I'm here to see my son Aidan he is member of team USA luge," said Kelly.
Aidan Kelly, 19 years old, has only been sledding for six years.
"He moved away from home when he was 15, actually on his 16th birthday is when I dropped him off,"
said Kelly. "He started going to school at boarding school upstate. He's endured a lot of crashes, a lot of fractures. He's persevered and made the most of every opportunity he had."
That's a feeling Anne and Scott Heekin know all too well. Their daughter Siobham will ice skate in the Olympics for Ukraine.
"It's so very difficult to find the right partner and it turns out that seven years ago, when she was looking, the right partner was from Ukraine. She is no longer with that partner, but she continues to skate for Ukraine during all that time," said Anne Heekin-Candey.
Although they may not represent the same country in the games, both families have the same sense of pride.
Both families said making it to the games means their children have already won.

Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger said he'll say Kaddish for jailed spy Jonathan Pollard's father, who was buried Monday.
Pollard cannot say Kaddish for his father, Morris, with a minyan because there is none in the federal prison in North Carolina in which Pollard is serving a life sentence for spying for Israel. Pollard was not granted release to attend his father's funeral.
"When I visited Pollard in prison, he asked me to say Kaddish on the anniversary of his mother's death, as he has no minyan," Metzger told Israeli media. "Unfortunately, the situation hasn't changed, and so I have taken upon myself to do this minor thing, for our brother Jonathan and for his father's soul."
Metzger has called on President Obama to grant Pollard clemency.

The futuristic racing game Repulze, which is developed by the same team behind Reckless Racing, has just entered phase two.
In his review of the game, posted shortly after its launch in the App Store early last month, my colleague Ramy praised Repulze's stunning sights and sounds. However, he noted that its time-trial gameplay could get repetitive pretty quickly.
The game's initial version, dubbed Phase One: Re-boot Camp, challenges you to go as fast as you can aboard a hypersonic Repulze hovercraft across nine gravity-defying tracks.
Now, a new update has been pushed to the game, effectively activating Repulze's Phase Two: Break and Desist.
In Phase Two, having been exiled to the outskirts of outer space, you might as well hone your skills for the forthcoming racing showdown.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
And to help you do so, the new phase provides you with seven "sanity-defying" new tracks set in a new industrial wasteland theme. It also includes new challenge types, magnetic fields, toolkits, and a Power Ripper upgrade.
In addition, Phase Two introduces ghost race recording and playback, first-person bonnet camera view, and a slide-to-steer control option.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.3 or later, the newly "re-phased" Repulze is available in the App Store for $1.99.
Repulze's Phase Three, codenamed Backlash, is set to be released soon. Apparently, it's built around the futuristic adage that says, "Payback is best served with rockets.

Modern Family
6 Funniest Modern Family Quotes from Season 3, Episode 4: "Door to Door"
What's funnier than a brand new episode of Modern Family? How about reading back over all the LOL-worthy zingers from this week's amazing, traveling salesman of a show! Here's our pick for the best quotes from Season 3, Episode 4, "Door to Door".
6. Mitchell: "You didn't clean the kitchen!"
Cameron: "Mitchell, I am an inadvertent Stanley Kawalski, how can you not be delighted by this?"
Well we were certainly definitely delighted to see Cameron (sort of) butch it up, channel his inner Brando, and scream "Stella!" like a 13-year-old girl.
5. Gloria: "We live in a nice neighborhood. What are you afraid of, that some money's gonna fly in, and that your gardener's gonna have to rake it up?"
That's the kind of fear I wouldn't mind having!
4. Manny, on making door-to-door sales to see Les Miz: "It was very hard on me! I'm not used to rejection — or hills."
Sounds like trekking around town made Manny Les Miserables. (See what we did there?)
3. Mitchell: "Cam, whenever you get creative in the kitchen, I'm the one who ends up cleaning it up, OK? The homemade pizza, fondue, molecular gastronomy — I am still cleaning the shrimp foam out of the curtains."
Remind us to avoid the Tucker-Pritchett house on jambalaya night.
2. Claire: "Change doesn't just happen. It is forged by empowered women like me, and Norma Rae, and the lady from The Blind Side. You know what the difference is between me and her? Blind Side's family had her back."
Also, the Blind Side lady got an Oscar. Sayin'!
1. Cameron, to Mitchell: "I'm gonna take Lilly to school and then when I get home, I'm gonna scrub this place like a crime scene. Which it is, because you've murdered joy."

Pac-12 unveils new logoPosted Mar 16th - 11:53am by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Director
In advance of Utah and Colorado officially joining the conference on July 1, the Pac-12 unveiled their new logo Wednesday.
The full press release release follows:
In preparation for Colorado and Utah becoming official members of the Conference on July 1, the Pac-10 has released a music video on YouTube that unveils the new Pac-12 mark. The video features a group of animated Pac-12 students wearing sports uniforms from all of the member institutions performing a card routine that might otherwise be seen in the student section during a college football game. The students show off their personalities and dance their way to the logo unveiling.
What in the world has happened to Utah Basketball?Posted Mar 1st - 6:21pm by Mike Grant
SALT LAKE CITY - The struggles of the Utah Basketball program are well-documented. Barring the Utes winning their final two games and winning at least one game down at the MWC Tourney in Vegas, the Utes are likely headed toward another losing season.
If the Utes lose just one of their next two games, they could drop to the seventh seed in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, facing either San Diego State or BYU in the first round - that's spectacular.
NIT? No chance.
Ute linebacker arrested for DUIPosted Feb 20th - 11:59pm by Mike Grant and Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah linebacker Nai Fotu was arrested Sunday morning by the Utah Highway Patrol for driving under the influence.
Fotu, who missed the 2010 football season with a knee injury suffered in spring camp, was speeding and did not have a driver's license on him. He was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail.
The senior linebacker had 23 tackles for the Utes in 2009, including 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. The 6-foot-2-inch athlete still has two years of eligibility.
Utah coaching carousel and 5 Utes invited to NFL CombinePosted Feb 4th - 11:39am by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Director
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's offensive coaching staff was shuffled on Thursday which includes one new hire that is returning to his alma mater.
Former Utah defensive end Chad Kauha'aha'a returns to the Utes as the defensive line coach. Kauha'aha'a spent the last two seasons as the defensive line coach at Utah State and the previous four seasons at Weber State.
"I'm thrilled to be back home at the University of Utah and I'm grateful to Coach Whittingham for giving me the opportunity to be part of the Utah family again," said Kauha'aha'a.
Recruit CentralPosted Feb 2nd - 6:50am by KSL.com
Utes' are still hopeful as signing day loomsPosted Jan 31st - 8:13pm by Mike Whitelock, KSL.com Contributor
SALT LAKE CITY - ESPN.com is reporting that two top recruits that were considering Utah have both committed elsewhere. Under Armour All-American offensive lineman Mo Latu has committed to Arizona State and cornerback Floyd Raven has recommitted to Mississippi.
The Utes' are reportedly still after several uncommitted top recruits including wide receivers Devin Lucien and Anthony Denham, quarterback Michael Eubanks, defensive lineman Akeem Gonzales and tight ends Junior Pomee and Andrew Peterson.
This should all shake out by February 2 as National signing day arrives.
Chow, Davis talk Utah footballPosted Jan 31st - 6:25pm by Josh Furlong, KSL.com Contributor
SALT LAKE CITY -- Newly hired offensive coordinator Norm Chow and offensive line coach Tim Davis have big plans for the Utah Utes as they make their transition into the Pac-12. The new challenge poses a big test for the Utes, but Davis and Chow are certain that the Utes have what it takes to be competitive.
Chow, a familiar face in Utah, is considered by many to be one of the top offensive coordinators in the nation, making his tenure at USC and UCLA a valuable source of knowledge to tap into as the Utes enter the Pac-12. Davis, too, adds experience to the Utah coaching staff, following his work with Chow at USC.
Coach Kyle Whittingham and the Utes have fared well against Pac-10 teams but not quite on the level of playing them on a weekly basis.
Norm Chow named Utah's next offensive coordinatorPosted Jan 22nd - 5:54pm by Robert Jackson and Mike Grant
SALT LAKE CITY - While speculation and rumors surrounding whether Norm Chow would be Utah's offensive coordinator in 2011 have been going around for what seemed like weeks, many began to believe he really wasn't going to come.
He's coming to Utah... wait, now he's going to stay at UCLA. He's coming to Utah ... now he's going to the Seahawks to rejoin his former boss Pete Caroll.
To end the roller coaster of hype and emotion for Utah fans, Norm Chow IS coming to Utah to be their offensive coordinator for the 2011 season.
Utah baseball to host `An Evening With Dave Winfield'Posted Jan 20th - 1:19pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Director
SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah baseball team will host `An Evening with Dave Winfield' at the University Park Marriott on Feb. 15, 2011.
"It's an honor to have Dave Winfield continue the tradition of baseball greats who have participated in our season-opening banquet" Utah head coach Bill Kinneberg said. "It's a fun way to kick off our year and we always look forward to a great evening."
Winfield's 22-year baseball career includes eight years with the San Diego Padres and nine years with the New York Yankees. He also played stints with the California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians. Winfield drove in the winning run of the 1992 World Series with the Blue Jays and reached the 3,000 hit milestone with the Twins.
Ute forward Jay Watkins out indefinitelyPosted Jan 17th - 9:46pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Director
The Utes finally were able to end their seven game losing streak with a big win over the Cowboys in Laramie, but some bad news just came out of the Utah camp.
Utah forward Jay Watkins, who is averaging 8.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, is out indefinitely for medical reasons, Utah Coach Jim Boylen stated Monday.
Utah's official press release is below.
Early report indicating Norm Chow to Utes as new OCPosted Jan 12th - 6:54pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Writer
SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah coach Kyle Whittingham mentioned the need to upgrade the program as they transition into the PAC-12 in the 2011 season. One early report is indicating that he is doing just that.
Tom Dienhart, a sports writer for Rivals.com, is reporting that the Utes are expected to hire Norm Chow as offensive coordinator and Tim Davis as offensive line coach. The hires are expected to happen soon.
For Norm Chow, this would provide an opportunity to return to his alma mater. Chow was a two-year starter at offensive guard for the Utes (1965-67).

GAME BLOG: (10) Boise State 26, (19) Utah 3Posted Dec 22nd - 9:26pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Writer
Time Remaining: Final
Score: #10 Boise State 26, #19 Utah 3
Utah's nine game bowl winning streak comes to an end as the #10 Boise State Broncos rout the #19 Utes 26-3 in front of the second largest crowd to watch a football game in the state of Nevada.
Utah's defense did everything they could to keep the Utes in the game, but the offense struggled mightily against one of the best defenses in college football. The Utes were only able to manage 198 yards, but had multiple opportunities to stay in this game. Dropped passes, untimely penalties and the inability to convert on third down (2-13) were too much for the Utes to overcome. Credit the defense though, they played their hearts out and should get credit for their performance.
GAME PREVIEW: (19) Utah vs (10) Boise StatePosted Dec 22nd - 12:08pm by Mike Grant
LAS VEGAS -- It is finally here. The bowl streak is on the line. What a match-up, the two original BCS Busters? Merry Christmas to all of us!
The Utah Utes bring their 10-2 record to Las Vegas to tangle with 11-1 and 10th ranked Boise State, America's favorite perennial underdog. The Broncos are not the underdog this time though. In fact, according to Las Vegas lines this game is a borderline blowout. 17 points? What?
One reason for the big spread - quarterback. Kellen Moore for Boise State was a Heisman candidate and threw for four billion yards. Terrance Cain is the Utah quarterback and the last two passes he threw were caught by Jameson Frazier and Shane Hunter, both BYU players. Judging by those differences alone, this game is already over. No hope, right? None. On the game simulation at ESPN.com, Boise State won 87.2% of the time in a possible 10,000 simulations. No chance for the Utes. None, period.
Crimson Corner: T-Cain gets another chance to lead UtesPosted Dec 15th - 4:20pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Writer
SALT LAKE CITY -- In life, second chances are hard to come by. Whether with your job or your girlfriend, if you mess up you are likely shown the door. Fair or not, that is just the way life is. However, for Terrance Cain, he will get that rare opportunity by leading the 19th ranked Utes against the No. 10 Boise State Broncos in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl.
While the Utes look to extend the nation's longest bowl winning streak to ten games, Cain will get the start in place of Jordan Wynn, who is out for six months recovering from shoulder surgery.
Top ESPN crew assigned to Las Vegas BowlPosted Dec 14th - 3:16pm by U Of U Press Release
LAS VEGAS - ESPN is sending some heavy hitters to town to handle the television announcing for the 2010 MAACO Bowl Las Vegas on Dec. 22.
Legendary mic man Brent Musburger will do play-by-play and ESPN College Gameday star Kirk Herbstreit will serve as analyst. Respected reporter Tom Rinaldi will handle the sideline duties. That same trio will also work the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game between Auburn and Oregon on Jan. 10.
The MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, which is owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television (ERT), will be televised nationally on ESPN HD. BCS No. 10 Boise State will be taking on BCS No. 20 Utah in the 19th edition of the game at Sam Boyd Stadium beginning at 5 p.m. PT.
It's official, Utes to face Boise State in VegasPosted Dec 6th - 11:50am by Dirk Facer, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY � It's officially official. Utah and Boise State will meet in MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, Dec. 22 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
"Boise State is one of the top teams in the country and the opportunity to play them in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl will present a big challenge for our players and coaches," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said in a released statement. "Until a week ago, the Broncos were in the mix for the national championship, so this game will have a lot of national as well as regional interest. Not many bowls outside the BCS games will feature teams with the kind of success Boise State and Utah have experienced in recent years, which makes this an exciting matchup. We will have our work cut out for us, but I know our players and staff are looking forward to playing in a bowl game against such a quality opponent."
Solid speculation turned into reality Sunday when the Bowl Championship Series released the 10th-ranked Broncos (11-1) from consideration. Their consolation prize, via an at-large bid created when the Pac-10 failed to provide an eligible team for the Las Vegas game, is a meeting with the No. 19/20 Utes (10-2), who were invited earlier in the week.
Shaky Smithson named Scout/Fox.com All-AmericanPosted Dec 2nd - 6:28pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Writer
SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah's Shaky Smithson, who leads the nation in punt return yards with 572, has been named a first-team All-American by Scout/Foxsports.com.
Smithson set the Mountain West Conference record for punt return yards in a season while also becoming the first Ute ever to surpass 500 yards in punt returns in a season.
The senior is averaging 19.72 yards per return and his four 100-yard punt return games leads the NCAA. He also has four of the top 11 punt return yardage games in the nation this season, with 145 vs. Iowa State (2nd), 140 vs. New Mexico (3rd), 128 vs. UNLV (5th-tie) and 111 vs. Wyoming (11th), and is the only player with three 70-yard punt returns.
Jace Tavita leaves Runnin' UtesPosted Dec 2nd - 1:14pm by Robert Jackson, KSL.com Sports Writer
SALT LAKE CITY - Junior guard Jace Tavita has chosen to leave the Utah men's basketball team, head coach Jim Boylen announced Thursday.
"I want to thank Coach Boylen for giving me every opportunity to be successful in my three years here," said Tavita. "But I feel at this time it would be in my best interest to move on to another school where I might have a chance for more playing time."
"Jace approached me this week and informed me that he wanted to leave the program based on his playing time," said Boylen. "I sincerely appreciate Jace's efforts over the last three years. He has worked hard and represented his family and this program well. We wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors."
Utes accept Las Vegas Bowl invitationPosted Dec 1st - 4:52pm by Dirk Facer, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY � The University of Utah football team has officially accepted an invitation to play in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 22 at Sam Boyd Stadium against an opponent to be determined.
"We're excited about the opportunity to be going back to Las Vegas. It's been quite awhile since we've been there," said Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. "The players are excited and the players are looking forward to it, and we think it's a good situation for us."
The Utes (10-2) last played in the Las Vegas bowl in 2001, when they defeated the University of Southern California. Utah has the longest active winning streak in bowl games with nine straight victories.

Senate bill brings some big changes to farm policy
The farm bill does make an effort to end abuse or misuse of SNAP benefits. Lottery winners and college students being supported by their non-low-income families no longer qualify. The bill cracks down on benefit trafficking, prevents liquor and tobacco stores from accepting food stamps and closes a loophole in which some states give as little as $1 a year in heating assistance to people, even when they don't have heating bills, to increase their food stamp benefits. That saves about $4 billion over 10 years, a tiny part of the $770 billion the program is expected to spend, and senators rejected amendments that would have made deeper cuts in the program.
The measure also differs from past farm bills in paying more attention to what are called specialty crops, mainly fruits and vegetables. It expands block grants to states to support research and promotion of specialty crops, assists organic farmers and expands support for farmers' markets and programs that help get healthy foods to low-income areas.
Still, there are numerous groups that say the bill doesn't go far enough in casting off old farm bill habits. The conservative Club for Growth said it still asserts too much government control in the private sector. The public interest advocacy group U.S. PIRG said the bill "will continue the current practice of disproportionately subsidizing the largest agribusinesses, who are already profitable and don't need taxpayer handouts."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., long a watchdog for special interest projects included in highway and farm bills, noted that the bill doesn't change the program that protects sugar growers from foreign competition and creates a new $3 billion program for cotton growers. He said there is also money in the bill to improve the U.S. sheep industry, study the health benefits of peas and lentils and plant trees in urban parks.
Among the final amendments taken up Thursday was one by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., that would have barred the Environmental Protection Agency from conducting any aerial surveillance over agriculture operations. It fell four votes short of the 60 needed for passage. It was recently falsely reported that the EPA was using drones to spy on cattle ranchers in Nebraska.

Comparing data obtained from tests conducted on unirradiated Type 316 stainless steel in either the solution annealed or solution annealed and aged condition showed that aging was beneficial in improving both the fatigue and creep-fatigue properties at 593°C (1100°F). An indication was found that unirradiated Type 304 stainless steel would be more suitable for applications involving creep-fatigue interaction than unirradiated Type 316 stainless steel. Irradiation to fluences of 0.17 to 6.1 × 1021 n/cm2 E > 0.1 MeV (450°C), resulted in a pronounced effect on the creep-fatigue resistance of these materials when tested at a strain range of 1%. Both fatigue and creep damage values were calculated using actual times and cycles to failure and design times and cycles to failure. These damage values were summed linearly. Damage sums obtained were not found to be a unique value but dependent upon strain range, length of tensile hold time, and material condition. Comparisons between estimates of irradiated fatigue behavior and actual irradiated fatigue lifetimes were made using limited data available. Estimates made using irradiated tensile data were usually found to be conservative in predicting pure fatigue behavior.

Sailormoon gets a hotter, updated look in Guild Wars 2
Sailormoon comes to Guild Wars 2. Fans of the magical-girl series have put up a guild of their own, complete with these customized versions of the show's characters, which many feel are a fittingly amped-up homage to the original. Fighting Crime With Sailor Moon [Moon] via Faceboo
Fans of the magical-girl franchise "Sailor Moon" have invaded the online fantasy gaming world of Guild Wars 2 (GW2) —with a team of customized unofficial characters.
"We're Fighting Crime With Sailor Moon [Moon]... a group of friends playing Guild Wars 2. Join us as we triumph over evil!" said the fans in their Facebook page.
The characters were created using GW2's Dye System, which allows you to color, mix, and match individual armor pieces to achieve a custom look.
"We spent a little while mixing and matching armors until we came up with what we thought was the best possible combination for a sailor uniform. Thankfully, the dyable area's were accommodating to our needs!," the moderators said in a comment thread.
"We plan to make the outer scouts... eventually. Unfortunately, they don't have seafoam green hair dye yet! Hopefully soon!" they added.
This early, they are already getting praise for their art work and attention to detail.
The group's Saint Mendrheal and Gardenia The White, who founded "Fighting Crime With Sailor [Moon]," admitted to being fans of the show.
Presently, they said they are recruiting all professions and still building up ranks.
"In fact, we created Guild Wars characters for all 14 of the main Sailor Scouts featured in the show. No, we did not buy all 14 accounts... in fact, many of them belong to some of our friends who used to play, but are currently inactive. We used a slot on each of their accounts for each character," they said.
The group has been mentioned and re-blogged numerous times, most notably on the official Guild Wars 2 Facebook page itself. — TJD, GMA News

An international maritime watchdog says piracy at sea fell to its lowest levels in six years in 2013, due in part to a significant drop in incidents off the coast of Somalia.
The International Maritime Bureau [IMB] says there were 264 attacks last year, including 15 incidents off the Somali coast. The IMB says there were 75 incidents near Somalia in 2012.
The IMB says a number of factors have contributed to the decline in piracy incidents off the Somali coast, including a use of armed security teams and the role of international navies. The group also credits increased stability in Somalia's central government.
The IMB says piracy in West Africa made up almost one-fifth of attacks worldwide last year. Many of those involved Nigerian pirates and armed groups.
In October, the IMB said the attacks had made West African waters among the most dangerous in the world.

Phoebe Isobel
Hi! I haven't been around in awhile as I've been busy looking after Phoebe Isobel, born on 6/18! Her first name was not on our original list of favorites but we think it's just perfect. My boss actually recommended her first name after reading a book with a character named Phoebe who also had my maiden name as a last name. It was a sign! Plus, we loved the meaning (bright or shining one) and the fact that it is a strong female name in the Bible (Romans 16). We also loved the name meaning for Isobel and the spelling is a nod to our Scottish background. Our little girl is just as perfect as her name. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on all of my posts!Mom of one

"Just Baaaarely"....And "At Least I Ain't Lost"
Back in the late sixties, when I was a high school student in Vergennes, Vermont, one of my teachers (in an effort to avoid teaching for a day...not that there's anything wrong with that) brought in a record of someone most of you have undoubtedly never heard of, Francis Colburn, a Vermonter who was a hit on the comedy circuit at the time...sort of Vermont version of Bert and I with their Down East humor.
While I don't remember the set-ups of many of the specific jokes, I remember the punch lines and will forever have Colburn's drawl etched into my brain.
I've been thinking a lot of one punch line in particular in the days since the election.
Whenever someone asks me if I won, I harken back to Francis Colburn.
"Just baaaarely" was one of his punch lines.
The set up was that an old timer asked for change from a purchase all in dimes. The cashier gave him his dimes, and the old timer proceeded to stand there and count the dimes...once...scratched his head...twice...scratched his head...three times.
Getting exasperated, the clerk finally asked him, "Well, is it all there?"
"Just baaarely," the old timer responded.
Maybe you had to hear it with the drawl, but it's really quite funny.
I sure did win, "just baaarely."
Here's another Colburn joke. The city slicker tried to pass off a counterfeit 18 dollar bill with an old timer.
"Hey old timer, can you change this 18 dollar bill?"
"Sure young fella," the old timer responds without missing a beat. "What would you like? Three sixes or two nines?"
Maybe you had to be there.
My favorite Colburn joke would also apply to this political season just past. It involves the flat lander who is trying to find a house and pulls over to ask directions from a farmer.
"Do you know where such and such a road is?" he asked.
Scratching his head (there was a lot of head scratching with Francis Colburn), the farmer says, "Nope."
"Well, what about...?" and the flat lander names another road.
"Nope," the farmer says.
After this goes on a while, the flatlander says to the farmer, "Hey ol timer, you don't know very much do you?"
"Well, young fella," replies the farmer, "at least I ain't lost."
Someone should tell that to Billy the Bully today. Those of us he bullied may not know as much as he thinks he knows, but at lest ain't as lost as he was in leading our party over the cliff.
"Just baaarely."
"Three sixes or two nines."
"Well at least I ain't lost."
Vermont words of wisdom to live by...40 years later.
By the way, the teacher was the same one who turned me on to Tom Lehrer, so I shouldn't be critical of how she chose to teach us!

I should have known, you can google anything these days. Just when I thought I may have been imagining Francis Colburn, sure enough I found him. Apparently he was an artist and UVM professor as well as a "droll Yankee humorist". Ah yes, a Vermont eduction pays off again! You can apparently download the entire album! But not today!
"The Campaign Speech...Poking Pun At Politicians" LP Record Album was
produced in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, by Loren Records in 1964. Record is As
New, unplayed. Monaural. Colburn was much respected while teaching at the
University of VT, an accomplished artist, and a keen observer of the Vermont
mind. His other two LPs were the classic "Barn Talk" and "Graduation
Address" Here's a free joke for you from the liner notes: "What does a tried
and true Vermonter think of the antics of those seeking public elective
office? Well, they tell the story of the farmer who, after being delayed a
half hour by chores, joined his neighbor at a political rally in Craftsbury
(Republican- of course). Indicating the speaker, the latecomer asked his
neighbor, "What's he speakin' 'bout, Calvin?" "He ain't said yet, Calvin
responded." 3.00 s/h for first, .75 for any additional. I cannot accept
Paypal or Billpoint but will take personal checks and ship immediately to
buyers with good feedback. Good Luck!!

Conor Nelson and Ayano Kataoka Perform at First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn 5/28
Flute/percussionist duo Conor Nelson and Ayano Kataoka will close the inaugural season of Music at First on May 28th, 2010 at 7:30pm. This special concert is held in celebration of the release of the Duo's CD "Breaking Training," (New Focus Recordings).

This series, curated by Wil Smith (composer who also serves as organist at First Presbyterian), occurs monthly, featuring one performer or ensemble per evening. Smith describes Music at First as "a diverse mix of New York City's best new music ensembles and performers, accessible to a wide audience of both community members and seasoned new music listeners." Earlier performers in the series began included Threefifty Duo, a "critic's choice" (Time Out NY) performance by pianist Kathleen Supové, and cellist/vocalist/composer Jody Redhage and her band Fire in July.
Percussionist and marimbist Ayano Kataoka is known for her brilliant and dynamic technique, as well as the unique elegance and artistry she brings to her performances. A versatile performer, she regularly presents music of diverse genres and mediums. Last season, together with cellist Yo-Yo Ma at the American Museum of Natural History, Ms. Kataoka gave a world premiere of Bruce Adolphe's Self Comes to Mind for cello and two percussionists, based on a text by neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, and featuring interactive video images of brain scans triggered by the live music performance. She also performed Leon Kirchner's Flutings for Paula with Paula Robison in honor of Mr. Kirchner's 90th birthday concert at New York's Miller Theater and at the Gardner Museum in Boston. Kataoka was the first percussionist to be chosen for The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Chamber Music Society Two, a three-season residency program for emerging artists offering high-profile performance opportunities.

Saxx Ultra Long John
I've had some the boxer briefs from Saxx and really liked them. The Ultra Long John is perfect minus one problemthe rise is too low in my opinion. I would like to have it come up further on my waist as it ends to not be as secure as some baselayers that do have a higher rise. The material is sick though, it is super-light and VERY breathable. The pouch for you junk is really what makes me overlook everything and keep wearing these every time I ride. I am 6'1", 180 lb, and have a 34" natural waist and bought the mediumand I can definitely say that large would have been too big. I wear the Saxx Ultra Long John for snowboarding and cold--weather running (layered under shorts).

I have now completed my "Joel Kody Walk" across America, having covered more than 30,000 miles and crossing the U.S. six times. In my previous walks, I've encountered numerous random acts of kindness, it's been wonderful, extremely enlightening, and rewarding. My walking isn't as easy as it was 12 years ago when I started at age 53. The ground seems to be much harder and more difficult to sleep on. My legs are becoming indifferent to my request to walk at least 20 miles per day! I stay determined to spread the suggestion, "LOVE LIFE" as a mindset that can most definitely enable us ALL to get past ALL adversity in our lives.
The completion of my final (Joel Kody Walk) walk into Montclair Village of Oakland, California on Saturday February 25, 2012 was a very heart warming event for me. I was truly touched by the wonderful individuals who joined us along the way to help celebrate the finish of 30,000 miles of walking. And the people waiting for me at the finish line were equally enthusiastic in their cheering and congratulating. Libby Schaaf, counsel person for the city of Oakland presented me with a key to the city and read a proclamation to me showing appreciation from the City of Oakland for my "LOVE LIFE" endeavors:
WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has faced tremendous adversity and challenged himself to dedicate his life to the public good, and
WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has walked across the country six times, more than 30,000 miles, through all 48 contiguous states, carrying a "Love Life" sign , and
WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has spent the last twelve years talking to people across this nation, with the resounding message to Love Life, and
WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has spoken to individuals and large groups about loss of life and suffering, comforting countless people through the most difficult life-shattering times, and
WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has chosen to end his most recent national walk in Montclair Village of Oakland, California because of our city's support for the "Love Life" message, therefore be it

So my son just passed his series 7, he is going financial route vs IT like his old man. While I am very proud of him, curious if anyone has experience in both fields and could make some comparisons for me to better understand the accomplishment level.
I know its 6 hour test.. Would you say its equivalent to say CCNA or NP, or say something like MCSE?
This is an odd ball type question, which is why asking in the general area vs my normal tech areas. If not IT related, if you have changed fields in either direction where you have taken the series 7 how would you compare it to your previous/current field exam/certifications?

Expert expects more cross-platform mobiles
27 April 2009 — 5:00 PM
The latest phones could soon feature cross-platform operating systems (OS), according to one expert.
A spokesman for independent price comparison website Mobile Phones said it was increasingly likely that systems such as Google Android and Symbian would work alongside one another in the future.
Tom Newton, lead content writer for the online resource, explained there was less money available in research and development nowadays - and this could lead to manufacturers pooling their resources.
"One possible scenario is for Symbian to become the default OS for consumer handsets and Android becoming the de facto smart phone and enterprise platform," he added.
Symbian is the OS typically used for Nokia's range of mobile phones, whereas Android is currently only available on the T Mobile G1 - as well as the upcoming HTC magic.
Both use an open source system that allows developers to create applications for use with handsets.

Warren Buffett, in his latest philanthropic donation, gave $2.84 billion worth of stock in his company Berkshire Hathaway to charities.» Read More
Shares of Deere rallied after a 13-F filing revealed that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway nearly doubled its stake in the company during the last quarter. The filing disclosed that Berkshire now owns 5 percent of Deere's total shares, or 17.1 million, as of fourth quarter, up from 7.6 million in the previous quarter.
The move boosted the stock to its highest level since May 2014 and set off a flurry of bullish activity in the options market.
Read MoreBerkshire buys Deere, dumps Exxon
On Wednesday, Deere options traded more than two times their average daily volume, with calls outnumbering puts by more than 2 to 1. Traders appeared to focus their buying to the March 95-strike calls, with over 2,800 of those contracts trading hands throughout the day. Since buying a call gives one the right to purchase a stock for a given price at a specific time, this trade is effectively a bet that Deere stock will rally above $95 per share by March expiration, or another 3 percent from current levels in the next month.
Have your own opinion. That was Jim Cramer's lesson to investors who were burned by Warren Buffett's moves on the stock market Wednesday.
"I've long been a believer in doing your own homework and finding your own comfort level with individual stocks," said the "Mad Money" host.
That means it is a bad idea to blindly piggyback on the investments made by anyone, let alone Warren Buffett or even Jim Cramer. And if you are an investor who is not willing to do the homework on individual stocks, then Cramer recommends investing in an index fund.
"I love index funds. They allow you to eliminate what's known as single stock risk," he added.
It's not like Warren Buffett has a crystal ball.
In fact, the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO would be quick to tell you he doesn't know what the stock market is going to do tomorrow, next month or next year.
Although the man known as America's greatest investor has said he doesn't believe you'll make money trying to sell stocks on a daily or weekly basis, many investors closely follow Berkshire's new investments, seeing them as a vote of confidence by Buffett.
Read MoreHow to invest like a hedge fund whale on the cheap
But if Berkshire builds its stake in an agricultural equipment company such as Deere, should you buy it? Berkshire dumped shares in Exxon Mobil as oil prices plummeted. Should you have done the same?
"Would I follow him? No. But would I read what he does? Absolutely," said New Jersey-based financial advisor Patricia Powell. "His strategy is extremely long term."
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway on Tuesday disclosed a 5 percent stake in agricultural equipment maker Deere & Co. and said it shed a $3.74 billion investment in oil company Exxon Mobil as oil prices plunged.
The changes were among several that Berkshire made in its common stock investments in the fourth quarter, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing detailing the conglomerate's domestic equity investments as of Dec. 31.
Read MoreWhale Watch: Icahn ups his stake in eBay
Berkshire began accumulating the bulk of its 17.1 million-share stake in Deere, worth $1.51 billion at year end, in the third quarter of 2014, but had not previously disclosed it. The SEC often lets Buffett quietly accumulate large stakes to deter copycats.
Deere shares rose 1.2 percent in after-market trading.
The stock market index fund Warren Buffett picked in a bet continues to outpace a collection of hedge funds seven years into the 10-year wager.
The latest standings in Buffett's bet with the money managers who own Protege Partners were reported Tuesday by Fortune magazine. Buffett made the bet in 2008 to demonstrate how hefty fees can hurt investment returns.
Read MoreWarren Buffett: Know when to hold 'em
The Vanguard S&P 500 Admiral index fund Buffett chose is up 63.5 percent since the bet began.
The five funds of hedge funds Protege picked were up roughly 19.6 percent.
Read MoreSecret hedge fund shorts revealed
A charity of the winner's choosing will receive at least $1 million. The money both sides put up is invested in Berkshire Hathaway, and it is now worth roughly $1.7 million.
Some of Warren Buffett's big stocks bets have tanked in 2014, and the market hasn't let it pass unnoticed. In fact, anytime a stock Buffett owns declines, the "billions being lost" by Warren makes it into the headlines.
With all the fuss over Warren Buffett's stock-picking prowess, or lack thereof, you might think Berkshire Hathaway has suffered mightily. You'd be wrong, though—way wrong. In fact, Buffett has plenty of reason to smile: Berkshire Hathaway is crushing the S&P 500.
Go big or go home seems to be Warren Buffett's mantra when it comes to philanthropy.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO and legendary investor made the single biggest charitable donation this year, giving $2.1 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the form of 16.6 million shares of his company, according to Wealth-X's ranking of the 10 largest philanthropic donations of 2014 published on Wednesday.
On Monday, 84-year-old Buffett surpassed Mexican business mogul Carlos Slim to become the world's second richest person as shares of Berkshire Hathaway rallied to an all-time high. Forbes said its real-time ranking of the world's billionaires now estimates Buffett's wealth at $74.4 billion, about $1.5 billion more than Slim's $72.9 billion. Slim is now in third place.

Class A shares of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway closed at a record $227,800 after hitting an all-time intraday high of $229,374 in Monday's trading. They're up 28 percent for the year, trouncing the S&P's 11.5 percent gain, excluding dividends.
In March, Forbes estimated Buffett's fortune at $58.2 billion. He was No. 4 on the list at that time, behind Mexico's Slim with $72 billion and Spanish fashion executive Amancio Ortega with $64 billion.
Warren Buffett's $25,000 contribution to a political action committee that supports a potential Hillary Clinton presidential bid isn't a surprise as far as the billionaire's hopes for 2016.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is showing some confidence in Detroit's attempted comeback as it puts more of its money behind General Motors.
In an SEC filing Friday afternoon, Berkshire said it held 40 million GM shares as of the end of the third quarter on Sept. 30.
That's an increase of 21 percent from the almost 33 million shares it owned three months earlier on June 30.
The additional shares are worth more than $223 million at GM's current price. The full stake is valued at almost $1.3 billion.

Lewis Hamilton has used his Twitter account to declare - in shouty capital letters - that he "WILL NEVER GIVE UP".
That's a shouty declaration from a man who enjoys driving in a shouty style. But it comes just a day after he announced 'it's finished really, we cannot beat the Red Bulls right now'.
The 2008 world champion scored a disappointing fourth in last weekend's European grand prix, and was left struggling after Sebastian Vettel called on his vast reserves of space magic to post in another victory.
See some pics from the 2011 European Grand Prix (Vettel brandishes his pointy finger of victory)
After the race, a mostly dejected Hamilton said: "They would need to fall off the track for me to beat them. There was over a second-per-lap difference in the race. That is just ridiculous."
It is ridiculous. But the morning after these comments, Hamilton appeared to have re-emerged with his terrier fightiness back, saying: "To all our supporters, ignore what you read in the papers today. My team will never give up.
"Bring on Silverstone, ur [sic] support will make a world of difference to us. I'm going to the factory now to do all I can with our team."
Them's be fighting words, and we sincerely hope Mr Hamilton does get better - if only to stop Vettel careering off without a challenge. But Silverstone could be an interesting race anyhow, because the new blown-diffuser regulations will come into force.
Christian Horner, Red Bull's MasterChief, said it was impossible to predict how it would affect his cars. "I don't think we've gone as extreme as others with the type of air that they're blowing, or the positioning," he said. "I think what you'll see is that the net loss is probably going to be fairly consistent across the front-running teams."
We've decoded the new regs, so click here to remind yourself. Does Hamilton - and indeed Button - stand a chance? Or is it already too late for anyone to mount a late challenge? And will Sebastian Vettel ever change his pointy-finger-of-victory for something less, erm, pointy?

LOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 05: Mike Ribeiro #63 of the Dallas Stars wiats for play against the Los Angeles Kings during the game at the Staples Center on March 5, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
Jeremy Roenick fans may disagree, but you can make the argument that the Coyotes have lacked an elite, play-making center ever since they arrived in the Valley in 1996. That changed on Friday. Less than an hour after the free agency period opened, the Coyotes agreed to terms with free-agent center Mike Ribeiro on a four-year deal worth 22 million (average of 5.5 million). Ribeiro was one of the top players on the market this season. Ribeiro, 33, had 13 goals and 49 points in 48 games for the Washington Capitals last season. He played for Coyotes coach Dave Tippett for three seasons in Dallas (2006-09). The best of those seasons was 2007-08 when he had 27 goals and 83 points, but he has posted at least 34 assists in his last nine NHL seasons and has topped 40 six times in that span. With Matthew Lombardi injured much of the lockout shortened 2013 season, the Coyotes top four centers combined for 39 assists last season. You look at our roster, hes the kind of player were missing: A to...

United Airlines is expected to announce a new flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia that will start in October, according to Airchive, an aviation blog. (We have since confirmed it — see below.)
United will fly the route six times per week using a Boeing 787-9 aircraft starting Oct 26, Airchive reported. The news is being warmly greeted on Flyertalk, the message board I profiled in a feature story earlier this week. Posters on the website, who are probably airline employees, are talking like it's a done deal, though they note the international flight is subject to government approval. (Flyertalk members get this stuff wrong occasionally, but not often.)
I reached out late Thursday to United for a comment, but I have not heard back.
Qantas already files between Los Angeles and Melbourne using an Airbus A380. United for now offers one-stop service to Melbourne. The plane stops in Sydney.
UPDATE: 10 p.m. The flight is now available for purchase on United.com.
Also, the reputable Airlineroute.net website says the flights start on November 3. It starts Oct. 26, as we originally stated.

BUTNER — The Granville County Sheriff's Office seized 140 pounds of marijuana, worth $700,000, during a vehicle traffic stop Tuesday on Interstate 85 southbound near Butner.
Around 5 p.m., members of the Granville County Sheriff's Office's Aggressive Criminal Enforcement Unit stopped a tour bus with a separate luggage compartment.
Sheriff Brindell B. Wilkins Jr. said deputies found three large duffle bags containing multiple bundles of marijuana.
"The drug dogs hit on this luggage compartment under the bus," Wilkins said Tuesday.
Though the seizure was not the biggest the sheriff's office had seen, it was definitely a significant one, Wilkins said.
No suspects have been taken into custody, he said, because none of the riders on the bus claimed responsibility for the luggage.
He said the type of hydroponic marijuana and packaging indicated it originated from a northern location, possibly Canada or New York.
"We contacted law enforcement in that area to be aware of what to look out for," he said.
