Antifriction Coatings
Friction reduction coatings provide improved lubrication and cooling to extend the life of internal engine components. On bearings and piston skirts, fluoropolymer coatings are designed to help maintain the oil film on the surface. The benefit is reduced friction, improved longevity, and increased horsepower. The coatings are very effective, yet thin enough that they don't impact bearing or piston-to-wall clearances at all. While the purpose of ceramic coatings on the valve faces is to maintain heat in the combustion chamber, an antifriction coating can also be applied to the valve stem. The resulting friction reduction can help prevent engine damage caused by sticking a valve.
Oil-Shedding Coatings
Engine oil not only lubricates parts, but it also carries heat away from internal components. Oil-shedding coatings allow oil to perform its job by carrying that heat away more efficiently. As such, oil-shedding coatings are typically applied to valvesprings, and the inside surfaces of valve covers and oil pans. The more oil these components can shed, the more heat that can be carried away. Other favorable characteristics of these coatings are that they're highly resistant to chemical acids and bases, and improve oil drain-back and oil management.
Cooler Air Temps
Keeping the temperature of the intake air charge as cool as possible results in a denser air/fuel charge, which increases horsepower. A cooler air intake charge is also more resistant to detonation. While it's true that header coatings reduce underhood temperature, and therefore the heat that soaks into neighboring components, the intake manifold itself can also be coated. Applying a ceramic coating on the bottom surface of the intake manifold mitigates the amount of heat that will transfer from the hot engine and engine oil into the intake runners. This keeps both the air and fuel cooler. The inside of the intake runners can also be coated, which sometimes improves the laminar flow characteristics of the induction system. In the near future, Jet-Hot plans on conducting extensive dyno testing in-house to measure the performance benefits of our engine coatings.
Coatings and Welding
Since there are often clearance issues with headers, they sometimes need to be cut, welded, or modified for proper fitment. For the sake of simplicity, it is always best to complete these modifications or repairs before sending a set of headers in to get coated. This eliminates the possibility of having a section of tubing where the coating is no longer present. In the event that a section of tubing that has already been coated needs to be welded, the coating must be removed with a grinder. Likewise, the heat of the weld must be increased as well.
Coatings and Dynos
When driving down the road, there is always a steady stream of air that removes heat from the engine compartment. However, this isn't the case on an engine or chassis dyno. The stagnant air in a dyno cell combined with the heat generated by sustained high-rpm engine operation can exceed the limitations of the aluminum in the coating matrix. This can ultimately cause dulling of the coating surface. To avoid this potential problem, it's best to use a large fan to help dissipate the heat of the engine and headers during dyno testing. CHP

Lesson 1
Objective: Dokte Paul, pages 1-44 Mountains Beyond Mountains opens in 1994 as American soldiers attempt to suppress a military junta that threatens Haiti's newly democratic and elected government. One of the first scenes describes Captain Carroll's men recovering the beheaded body of an elected official from that Artibonite River. Paul Farmer arrives to try and explain that the Haitians are losing confidence, but Captain Carroll misinterprets the warning as an insult. Later, Tracy Kidder learns that Paul sympathizes with the military and knows that most of them come from the poorer parts of America and have little say in setting policies. This lesson examines the role of the American government in Haiti.

Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
In the early 1900s, and perhaps in the late 1800s, the Atlantic and Pacific (A&P) Tea Company delivered tea and other products to homes in Andover by hand carts and horse-drawn wagons. As part of a customer loyalty program A&P offered reward points for the tea their customers purchased. Once customers had enough points, A&P would give them vouchers for lots of land (Tea Lots). The Tea Lots ranged between 50ft by 70ft to 50ft to 100ft. They were often landlocked, with no street access, and were too small to build on. Some were located in the Ballardvale section of town, others were in the Wood Hill area near Haggetts Pond. There are still conflicting accounts and questions regarding the lots, their location and the companies involved.
The Andover Historical Society has maps of the Tea Lots. The lots were located near South School on Woburn Street and appropriately named: Bayberry, Tea Berry and Blackberry Lanes.

Energy generation, consumption and transmission are enormous topics and certainly can't be covered in a small number of quizzes. Nevertheless, please feel free to contact us and suggest any energy-related topic that might be of interest to a wide audience. If we find your suggestion interesting, we will try to add a related quiz or other activity to this website.
Ask ten people what is energy and you will get ten different answers. One will say that energy is what you get from food; another - that energy is what we need to run home appliances, etc. Somebody will even remember the famous E=mc2 formula. The fact is that energy is all around us and we use it all the time even if we have no clue what exactly energy is.
In physics, energy is usually defined as the ability to do work. Energy is a rather abstract concept. We can't see, touch or smell it. What we do see, are consequences of energy transformations. For example, a simple electric bulb can be viewed as a device that converts electrical energy into energy of photons that we perceive as light.
From the everyday standpoint, energy is what makes the things around us change in some way. Anything we do, see or hear implies some type of work that requires conversion of energy from one form to another.
Just a few hundred years ago people were using a tiny fraction of energy consumed today. Every day we need more and more energy to run our factories, airplanes, cars, ships, computers and other modern marvels.
Some of the energy we now consume comes from burning petroleum that is derived from crude oil. Other major energy sources include coal, natural gas and uranium. Unfortunately, using these materials leads to numerous environmental problems. In addition, none of these energy sources is renewable. In other words, their supplies are limited and become harder to get every day. Although there are different opinions as to the amount of fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas) left on our planet, very few scientists would venture to say that we have more than a 50-year supply of these fuels.
A typical car with an internal combustion engine is an example of energy being used exactly where it was produced. The engine takes gasoline, burns it, and converts the gasoline chemical energy into mechanical energy which is transferred to the wheels and moves the car.
Another way to use energy is at a location different from where it was produced. If you are reading this text on a desktop computer, chances are your computer receives electric energy from a power plant that is located tens, hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Electrical energy can be relatively easily and cheaply transferred over large distances. That's why it is currently the main secondary energy source. Different electric power plants may use all kinds of primary energy sources (such as coal, oil, uranium, wind, hydropower, solar power, biomass), but their final product is the electricity that can be conveniently sent, almost at the speed of light, to another location where it's needed.
Even though modern power plants incorporate some amazing scientific and technological achievements, the basic idea has not changed much since the first electric power plants built at the end of the 19th century. In the majority of cases, electric power is produced by electrical generators attached to turbines. The turbines can be rotated by steam, water or wind. Steam can be generated by burning fossil fuels or biomass. Steam can also be produced by heat generated in the nuclear reactor.
Other commonly used energy units are Calories (often used to measure energy contents of food) and BTUs (British Thermal Units).
Every day we use more and more energy. At the same time, the supply of fossil fuels is being constantly depleted. This means that the industry as well as individuals will have to gradually switch to renewable sources of energy and to significantly increase the efficiency of power generation, transmission and consumption.
We can already see some new (and not so new) technologies helping to reduce our dependency on the non-renewable energy sources. For example, wind power is being used more and more to generate electricity in the areas with large empty spaces and strong winds. Hybrid cars are using a combination of gasoline engines and electric motors to dramatically increase gas mileage without compromising drivability. The examples are many and their number will continue to increase. Finding new sustainable and environment-friendly energy sources is both a challenge and a great opportunity.

A spirited campaign to defer the ICC cases has for the second time yielded no results. Consequently, it now appears President Uhuru Kenyatta would have to settle for a video link trial in the likely event that the ICC approves it, as opposed to having the President physically present at the Hague.
This is welcome relief for all sides especially because it would allow the trial to take place without humiliating the president. Uhuru would otherwise be the first sitting president to be physically hauled into an ICC courtroom to face charges of crimes against humanity.
Uhuru would have undoubtedly preferred that the cases be deferred or terminated altogether but everything considered, going forward with a trial under these circumstances is desirable for several other reasons.
To begin with, a major advantage of having Uhuru excused from physical presence at the ICC, viewed objectively, is because it reduces the chances of having the President arrested.
Truth is, the president could be arrested and taken into custody at any time during the trial if circumstances so warrant; all it would take is for the right circumstances to prevail and the Prosecutor would have this done.
The key point here is the 'right circumstances' and these need not have anything to do with the trial itself. As it is now, a warrant of arrest against any ICC suspect is practically useless unless the suspect's country, or a country that the suspect visits is willing to arrest and hand over them to the ICC.
If the suspect is already in the Hague when or after a warrant is issued, he or she can simply be put in custody regardless of status in their country, including being president.
Arresting a leader of a country may be an extraordinary event in itself, but it's not entirely impossible especially where the political interests of those capable of making the arrest demand it.
Physical absence from the Hague is therefore wise and advisable for any suspect and that is why a video link trial is a relief for Uhuru. It removes the risk of being held at the Hague, giving him time to focus on the trial itself, besides governing.
A question can be asked, what then would happen if Uhuru was tried, found guilty and sentenced? Would he surrender himself to the ICC to serve the sentence?
We can all hope that this won't happen at all. I am referring to surrendering, not conviction which even though possible, is unlikely to happen. Given the nature of the case and the proof necessary to secure a onviction under international law, the decision would still be overturned after an appeal.That is the second main reason why it would be beneficial for Uhuru to be tried via video link rather than being physically present at the ICC.
The other equally important reason is that a video link trial would enable President Kenyatta to govern the country well. The uncertainty and disruption of having to travel to the Hague and staying there for days while his deputy leads the country would be eliminated. No leader would want such inconveniences and Uhuru is no different.
Put another way, in coalition governments like ours (although informally), the partner with the bigger share of the loaf hardly leaves the country. He or she however does a lot of mischief when his or her co-partner is constantly out of the country.
No one knows this better than former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, so one can imagine Ruto doing the same thing to Uhuru since it is alleged Uhuru is already doing this to him.
As I have always maintained, those closely watching Ruto know he is confident that he will walk away from the ICC a free man, when all is said and done.
For Ruto, whether he appears in person or not doesn't matter and so far, his trial has progressed in a very predictable manner. It is likely he would be acquitted since there have been no smoking guns or any smoke at all.
If Ruto is acquitted, it then follows that Uhuru would too be acquitted, for reasons we need not delve into. While this is the outcome that would not throw this country into a mess, it is not guaranteed. It's possible for Ruto to be convicted as Uhuru walks free.
Indeed, in light of the proposed amendments to the Rome Statute that would make it possible for ICC suspects to potentially be tried via video link, only Uhuru stands a chance.
There are those who are saying that Uhuru should nonetheless reject this compromise. However, that will be a huge mistake because in both local and international politics, overplaying one's hand is always politically costly.
All the efforts in the second round of deferral efforts have, in the end, not yielded the desired results. The president can however live and work with the results knowing in all cases where give and take is necessary, nobody gets everything they want.
Most importantly, we have avoided a likely bullet headed our direction had the president not been accommodated. So, let's hope the trials quietly conclude as we close this dark chapter in our history and open a new one full of promises, peace and prosperity.

We talk regularly in this blog about the benefits of migrating business applications and processes into the cloud. We are strong believers that small businesses should be leveraging the power of online business software to boost productivity and business agility, but sometimes we may not put enough attention into the human (brain) power needed to effectively manage this transition.
So, what is a cloud consultant and why do you need them to migrate a business into the cloud?
We asked our friends at VM Associates, a leading cloud migration consulting firm, to help us answer this question:
Q: What's a cloud consultant?
Answer from VM-Associates:
We trashed "traditional" IT – it's too support-oriented and doesn't deliver the client-side innovation that online software and cloud computing demand. Businesses need more from IT and IT technicians and consultants aren't delivering.
Well, who can? Where is this "new" IT guy? What does he or she call themselves? What are they?
This is a problem we deal with at VM-Associates all the time. We're IT consultants, sure – but then again, we're not. We're also not the only ones thinking about this: Dennis Stevenson calls himself a "change agent," a term appropriated from Seth Godin, marketer extraordinaire and self-proclaimed "Agent of Change."
We like Change Agent, but it's not sector specific and doesn't capture the whole picture. We're trying out "Value Migration Architect" but it's only half-good. "Value Migration" captures the movement of business processes, but "Architect" ineptly evokes buildings, bridges, buttresses… it's immobile, unchanging.
The world is at a digital tipping point where everyone, business included, is spending more time in the cloud. Dealing with that tipping point isn't about construction and design, but about navigation and transitions. It's about foresight, vision and the anticipation of a new technological era. It's about minor corrections and major swerves. It's about knowing that your sales rep could probably do 99% of their job from a smartphone but isn't.
These days, Cloud consultants should be migrating business value, not building applications – leave that for the product vendors. Compasses, GPS, steering wheels – these are the metaphorical tools we need. Cloud consultants should blaze trails, build outposts and bridges. They connect generations, cultures, histories and ideas. It's grand stuff. They are vanguards for the future of business solutions.
Q: What being a "vanguard of business solutions" means?
Answer from VM-Associates:
As 'vanguards' cloud consultants replace the traditional IT consultant, their role is to squeeze as much value out of technology as possible. Vanguards must make informed decisions about emerging technology and develop strong relationships with innovative and responsible software vendors. Cloud consultants are buyer advocates, freelance CIOs, and are generally grumpy about poor user interfaces and retro-thinking. They always start from the perspective of the business owner, and they genuinely care about the end-user (you know, those people who use the software?).
Q: What is different from traditional IT consulting ?
Answer from VM-Associates:
Throw out the "systems solution consulting" proposal you just received , your company doesn't need it. If you're a business owner or manager, insist that IT reinvigorate legacy solutions, and insist that users reevaluate legacy processes. Business should leverage 'today', not yesterday. Tomorrow demands it.

Harvest Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
This orange-golden soup is a great way to begin Thanksgiving dinner. If you make it in a slow-cooker, it also frees up the already-crowded stovetop and keeps the soup at the perfect temperature while everyone gathers at the table.
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Even if you don't use a slow-cooker, this mouth-watering soup--rich with beta-carotenes and nourishment from tender winter squash and sweet potato and enlivened with a little onion, thyme, and sage--is simple to make and beautifully satisfying.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add sweet potatoes, squash, stock, thyme, and sage; season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook on Low for six hours. Or transfer ingredients to a large soup pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 1 hour.
3. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor, or directly in the slow cooker or soup pot using an immersion blender. Taste to adjust the seasonings and serve hot.
Serves 4 to 6.

THE discovery that a rare brain disease in cows can mutate into BSE has given new life to the theory that mad cow disease started out in cattle, rather than crossing over from sheep.
When BSE emerged in British cattle in the mid-1980s, the leading theory was that they had initially contracted the disease by eating feed containing the remains of sheep infected with scrapie. Both BSE and scrapie are caused by infectious prions, misshapen forms of a normal brain protein. Having made this species jump, BSE would have spread as cattle carcasses were processed into animal fodder and fed back to cows.
Yet attempts to duplicate BSE by deliberately giving scrapie to cows have failed, and many countries included sheep remains in cattle feed without creating BSE. This has led some scientists to speculate that BSE arose as a rare spontaneous condition in cattle, which spread to other cows when they ate these animals' remains.
The new twist to the story comes from studies of a disease called bovine amyloidotic spongiform encephalopathy, or BASE. It was discovered in 2003, when two Italian cows, out of tens of thousands of European cattle screened for BSE at slaughter, were found to have a prion disease that seemed different from BSE. The BASE prion had a lower molecular weight and one, rather than two, sugars bound to it. The brains of cows with BASE were also damaged in different places from those with BSE, and had dense protein deposits called amyloid that are not seen in BSE. Similar prions have also turned up in France, Germany and Japan.
Fabrizio Tagliavini and his colleagues at the Carlo Besta Neurological Institute in Milan, Italy, have now injected material from the brains of cows with BSE or BASE into mice. In animals genetically altered to make cow PrP - the normal form of the prion protein - BSE and BASE produced different symptoms and brain damage, confirming that BASE is a different disease.
When Tagliavini injected material from the brains of cows with BASE into mice with normal mouse PrP, none developed symptoms and only one tested positive for a prion - which looked like BSE, not BASE. When brain material from this first groups of mice was injected into a second round of mice, all of them developed typical BSE (PLoS Pathogens, DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.0030031). In unpublished experiments, Tagliavini has shown that the conversion of BASE prion to BSE can also occur in the spleens of mice engineered to carry cow PrP.
If BASE can mutate into BSE, this could well be how mad cow disease emerged. "I think BASE is a natural prion disease of older cattle, which turned into BSE," says Tagliavini.
Another possibility is that BASE turned into BSE after cattle remains were fed to sheep. In preliminary research, Hubert Laude of INRA, the French national agricultural research agency, in Jouy-en-Josas says that he has got BASE to turn into BSE in mice engineered to carry sheep PrP, but not in mice with cow or human PrP.

Thank you for visiting the Office of the Attorney General's page regarding Mid-Continent University.
The Office of the Attorney General is investigating events related to the closure of Mid-Continent University, including Mid-Continent's June 26, 2014 letter informing certain students that they owe balances to the university and will be offered institutional loans.
We have informed Mid-Continent that we have concerns about the institutional loans, including the fact that they do not offer certain protections afforded by federal loans, such as forbearance or deferment options or other flexible payment schedules. We have demanded further information from Mid-Continent related to this issue.
Further, the Office of the Attorney General informed Mid-Continent that it should advise students with outstanding federal loans that they may be entitled to a closed-school discharge of those loans under federal law should they choose not to participate in a teach-out agreement or transfer their credits to another university.
As our investigation continues, we encourage students with relevant information to e-mail us at
firstname.lastname@example.com. If you wish to leave us a message you may do so at (502) 696-5395. Please say and spell your full name and provide your telephone number and email address. Due to the number of calls we are receiving we may not be able to return each call.
You may also mail the Office of Consumer Protection, 1024 Capital Center Drive, Frankfort, KY, 40601. Please continue to check our website at ag.ky.gov for more information.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has published some additional information on the impact of school closures on federal and private student loans on their "Ask CFPB" page.
NOTE: These FAQs and links contain general information and are not specific to Mid-Continent University. More specific information for Mid-Continent students will be provided as it becomes available.
Q: I attended a school that is now closed. Where can I obtain a copy of my academic transcript?
A: If you are trying to locate your academic records from a closed school, you should contact the State licensing agency in the state in which the school was located to ask whether the State made arrangements to store the records. This link will assist you in your search.
Q: I attended a school that has been bought by another school. Does the new school have my transcripts?
A: Generally yes. You will need to contact the new institution and inquire about your records.
Q: I am not sure who currently holds federal student loan(s). Where can I find this information?
A: This information can be found at the National Student Loan Data System for Students. Please note that for any private school loans, you will need to contact the financial institution where the loan was originated as this information is not stored in NSLDS.
Q: I am a student and the school I was attending closed. Do I qualify for a closed school loan discharge?
A: Yes, IF you meet the specific eligibility criteria to have your loans discharged based on the closed school regulations. This link will help you determine if you qualify for a school loan discharge.
Q: I feel that I qualify for a school loan discharge. How and where do I apply?
A: Download and complete the Loan Discharge Application due to School Closure. Send the completed form to the entity that currently holds your federal student loans(s). Your loan holder will review your claim and render a decision as to whether or not you have been approved for the loan discharge.
Q: I have loans for several different programs of study, but was unable to complete any of the programs or transfer credits from one program to another prior to the school's closure, can all the loans be discharged?
A: All loans are dischargeable. As long as you did not complete any of the programs of study and you meet all other applicable eligibility criteria for a closed school loan discharge, your loans may be discharged.
Q: If I did not complete their program, but received a diploma or certificate, would I still qualify for a loan discharge?
A: Before closing, some schools may have issued a diploma or certificate to students who did not complete the program of study. The issuance of a diploma to a student who did not complete the training program will not disqualify the borrower for discharge if the other requirements for discharge are met.
Q: I am a borrower in the Department of Defense (DOD) Loan Repayment Program (the DOD makes the required payments on the loan, rather than the borrower), and I now qualify for a closed school discharge, who should the payments be refunded to, myself or the DOD?
A: Neither. It would be inappropriate to reimburse the borrower for payments made on their behalf by the DOD. In addition, since only the borrower is entitled to a closed school discharge, there is no requirement or authority for reimbursing the DOD.
Q: I transferred credits from a closed school and enrolled in a different program of study at a new school and completed the new program. Are the previous loans from the closed school dischargeable?
A: Yes, because the program of study at the new school is different than that of the closed school, for which the loans were intended. A student can transfer as many credits as they want, as long as they do not transfer credits into the same program and complete it.
Q: If a school closes and a student then enrolls (either through a teach-out arrangement or by transferring academic credits or hours earned from the closed school) in a similar program at another school for the purpose of completing the program for which a loan was made at the closed school, can that student still receive a discharge?
A: Not if the student completed or is in the process of completing a comparable program of study.
Q: If I am able to continue my program of study at a new school following the closure of the old school without transferring any credits or hours, can I still receive a closed school loan discharge if I have received effective benefit from the program? (i.e., a cosmetology student has their hours registered with the state board, so transferring hours from the closed school is not necessary. Once the student has accumulated a certain number of additional hours at the new school; the student can take the licensing test without ever graduating and become a licensed cosmetologist.)
A: Yes, Section 437(c)(1) of the HEA allows for a discharge if the student is unable to complete the program. De facto completion of the program or effective benefit from the program is not the same as completion of the program.
Q: Which guaranty agency is responsible for paying the claim to a lender on a closed school discharge that has been part of a consolidation loan, the underling guarantor or the holder of the consolidation loans?
A: The guarantor of the consolidation loan.
Q: If a lender receives a request for a closed school loan discharge from a borrower and the underlying loan was consolidated at a different lender, who is responsible for obtaining loan history, copies of all documents in file and other information? The borrower? New or old lender?
A: The consolidating lender is responsible for obtaining loan history information from the prior lender. If the consolidating lender is unable to obtain the information from the prior lender or other sources, the borrower will be required to submit evidence to prove that the loan was in fact made for attendance at a school that closed. (Note: Acceptable "evidence" includes a promissory note or loan application. In the event that neither is available, a payment history is acceptable if it shows that payments were made on a loan for attendance at a closed school.) Payment histories would only be required if payments were made on the loan prior to the date of consolidation.
Q: A student had three loans at a closed school, one for one program and two for another program. (Student decided to transfer most, if not all, previous credits from the first program to the other program.) Can all three loans be discharged?
A: Yes, since Section 437(c)(1) of the HEA says, if a borrower received a loan and "is unable to complete the program in which such student is enrolled due to the closure of the institution…then the Secretary shall discharge the borrower's liability on the loan…"
Q: Should I continue to pay my loan while I wait for a decision on my application?
A: Yes, you should continue to make payments on your loan as you signed a legally binding agreement to repay that loan. The holder of your loan may grant forbearance until a decision is made on your application. This means that no one should try to collect on your loan until the holder of your note determines whether you are eligible for a loan discharge.
Q: What if my discharge application is denied?
A: There is no appeals process if your application is denied for a closed school discharge. However, if a guaranty agency denies your application for a false certification discharge, you may ask the Department to review that decision.

34 year old man | Baltimore, MD, USA | Seeking women 24-37 within 40 miles
100% Recommended Match
– I sign up for match.com. I'm getting great feedback and emails and I realize this is going to be an awesome opportunity to meet someone new. Then I realize the people on here are crazy. I know I'm crazy too, but in a funny kinda way. -- I'm very big on Chemistry. Not how you look, but how we mesh. ** Edit ** I have to retract that statement because after I posted that a lot of women that look like Eddie Murphy sent me messages. So in retrospect, looks help. I'm not into casual relationships. I wouldnt have made it to 33 w/o kids if I just hooked up with people. I hate planning in advance. I'm the 'What are you doing tonight?" kinda guy. Let's hit the town. FAQs: -You're very handsome. So why are you single? **Shrugs*** That's what I was thinking also. I dont know. -Are these pictures really yours or did you catfish and steal them from someone? Personally, I look like Idris, but I stole these pics from a model named Ramah so I can have a better shot. I'm considerate. If we are out for a night on the town and a girl with a fat butt walks by, I wont look for more than 2 seconds. I can lend an ear. If you are the special woman in my life, when you are talking, I can listen and pay attention at least 50-60% of the time. Intermission: They say laughter is the way to a woman's heart. So what's the way to her kitchen? That's what I want. -What's your type? At least 26 teeth. None gold. 5'2"-5'9". Race: White, black, yellow, brown. And cant live on East Side. Those girls will climb in your window while you're sleep and go to the market with pajamas on. Or at least that's what I hear.

Channing Tatum: Expect Some "Nakedness" in New Movie White House Down
It should be in his contract: Channing Tatum should have to expose a certain percentage of skin in every movie. Preferably a high percentage.
Right now he's working on White House Down, which is not exactly Magic Mike 2. In the film, Jamie Foxx plays the President of the United States and Channing Tatum is the police officer who has been denied his dream job with the secret service but ends up protecting the POTUS when an armed paramilitary group takes over the White House. The film won't come out until June 28, 2013, but Entertainment Tonight shared a 3 minute, 24 second behind-the-scenes clip with the two actors.
Nancy O'Dell talked to a dirtied-up Channing, who had just finished shooting a stunt seen. She asked if he'd been working out and he flexed a bit, saying it's all gotta be in shape. She spoke for all of us when she suggested he should just take his shirt off in every movie.
Channing gave the skin comment some thought. "There will be nakedness on some level in White House Down," he said, "but not to the level as my last movie." So no Magic Mike stripping in the Oval Office. "I don't think the president would be too happy if I'm running around his White House in an American flag thong."
See, this is why we need a female president — or a gay male prez. They probably wouldn't mind at all!

Here's my first attempt at Way Back Wednesday. The Kept Woman says this week's theme is "Your Best Worst outfit." Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), my mom still has most of my photos from my youth so I didn't have the full gamut to pick through. Had I had full access, I'm sure I could've found something absolutely awful from my middle school years.
Anyway, here's what I came up with:
Definitely not the worst outfit I wore I am sure, but still pretty bad. In high school, my four friends and I would wear sweatshirts (that one of the girl's mom's painted for us) for our holiday get-togethers (as well as to school! gasp!), like Halloween, Christmas and I think there might have been an Easter one too. Anyway, they would have five things on them (pumpkins or in this case, presents) – one for each of us. And have our names on them as well as "Fab Five" (which is what we dubbed ourselves). So here I am at our Fab Five Christmas party, modeling a pair of panties from our "pretty panty exchange." Sexy! The green turtle neck adds such a nice touch, don't you think? As well as the bows in my hair (which weren't really party of the original outfit – they were added while opening our presents). And I don't think those acid-washed jeans couldn't have been much tighter. Of course, I guarantee they were "tight-rolled" at the bottom too and I probably had on white socks with black shoes. Groovy baby!!
It's too bad I couldn't find a pic from Halloween, because in addition to the special sweatshirts, we also wore Halloween boxer shorts and long underwear! Yes, even to school! ;oP
Now go check out the other bad outfits over on The Kept Woman. I'll bet there are some doozies. :)

'Person of Interest' video: 'Lost's' Michael Emerson goes vigilante for J.J. Abrams
J.J. Abrams reunites with "Lost" star Michael Emerson for the new CBS series, "Person of Interest," in the fall.
Emerson plays Mr. Finch, a wealthy genius who believes he knows the identities of people who will cause violent crimes.
Finch pulls Reese (played by James Caviezel) out of obscurity for the skills he possesses from his formal gig in covert operations for the CIA. The two go all vigilante to track down Finch's "persons of interest" before they can actually commit their crimes.
Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") plays an NYPD officer who's on to Finch and Reese.
Executive produced by Abrams with a pilot written by Jonah Nolan ("The Dark Knight"), there's a bit of Batman in this series without the mask.
Watch the behind the scenes clip below:
First impressions? Thrilled to see a mini "Lost" reunion?

Andy Cooney, Daniel Rodriguez and Michael Amante Return to State Theatre with 'Memories of Herald Square' Tonight
New York's premier voices, Andy Cooney, Daniel Rodriguez and Michael Amante, have joined together to celebrate the holidays, the city of New York and our great nation in The New York Tenors Christmas: Memories of Herald Square.
Show time is tonight, December 1 at 8 PM. Tickets are $50 & $45 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by N. Pugliese, Inc. and Strahman Valves.
The New York Tenors combine the artistry of three men who alone are superb, but together provide an overwhelming, 'can't-miss' showcase of some of the world's greatest vocalists and repertoire.
Daniel Rodriguez, "America's Beloved Tenor" Came to light during one of the darkest times of our nation's history. He was the New York City police officer whose amazing voice comforted a grieving nation in the days following 9-11-2001. He continues to inspire, stir and embrace his listeners through his recordings and memorable live concert performances. Daniel also performed at the State Theatre in August as part of the Lt. Dan Band Tribute Concert for Sgt. Adam Keys.
Andy Cooney, christened "Irish America's Favorite Son" by the New York Times, is a title he truly deserves. Andy has been taking the Irish American scene by storm for the last 20 years. His unique tenor voice has been heard in concert halls internationally, including two sold out performances in New York's Carnegie Hall. Andy performed at the State last spring in his world renowned touring show, Forever Irish.
Michael Amante, affectionately known as "The People's Tenor," is a combination of All-American looks, romantic Italian charm and an incredible voice. Legendary performer Tony Bennett is quoted saying, "Michael's remarkable range of notes and his ability to sing everything from opera to Broadway to contemporary, gives this tenor an intimate connection with anyone who hears him." Michael is no stranger to the State Theatre stage, performing several solo concerts over the years.

Black Men, Invisibility and Crime
Towards a Critical Race Theory of Desistance
By Martin Glynn
Routledge – 2014 – 186 pages
Series: International Series on Desistance and Rehabilitation
Routledge – 2014 – 186 pages
Series: International Series on Desistance and Rehabilitation
Past studies have suggested that offenders desist from crime due to a range of factors, such as familial pressures, faith based interventions or financial incentives. To date, little has been written about the relationship between desistance and racialisation. This book seeks to bring much needed attention to this under-researched area of criminological inquiry.
Martin Glynn builds on recent empirical research in the UK and the USA and uses Critical Race Theory as a framework for developing a fresh perspective about black men's desistance. This book posits that the voices and collective narrative of black men offers a unique opportunity to refine current understandings of desistance. It also demonstrates how new insights can be gained by studying the ways in which elements of the desistance trajectory are racialised.
This book will be of interest both to criminologists and sociologists engaged with race, racialisation, ethnicity, and criminal justice.
'Race is the elephant in the room in all of criminology, and few of us are brave enough to acknowledge it. Martin Glynn's remarkable new book isn't just brave, it is fearless. The elephant is finally within our grasp.'
Shadd Maruna, Director of Institute of Criminology & Criminal Justice, Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.
'Martin Glynn's challenging new book is an important and novel contribution to debates about desistance – but it is also more than that. Rather than focusing on how ethnicity affects desistance, he draws on critical race theory – and on the accounts of "Black British" and "African American" men he interviewed -- to examine how racism and racialisation influenced the men's life chances and pathways through crime and justice. In seeking to develop a "black criminology of desistance", Martin Glynn's analysis enjoins and compels us also to engage with the racialised politics of crime and justice – and of criminology itself.'
Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
'In the book Black Men, Invisibility and Crime, Martin Glynn has produced an innovative and crucially important monograph that provides keen insights into desistance among Black men.
Drawing on Critical Race Theory, Martin skilfully explores the contours of desistance specific to the condition and experience of Black men. His fresh comparative perspective provides readers with an examination of the analogous and divergent desistance concerns among Black men in Briton and America. Martin is clearly an important scholar on the rise whose thoughts on re-entry and desistance in the Black community need to be heard by the discipline and the larger criminal justice community in the UK and the USA.'
Shaun Gabbidon, Professor of Criminal Justice, Penn State Harrisburg, USA.
"This book provides a much needed and surprisingly overdue in depth analysis of black men's views of their own desistance. The author is extremely credible and gathers insights that numerous criminologists would be unable to gather through ethnography or any other means. It is clearly aimed at promoting further research and provides a compelling argument for other criminologists to take forward."
Paul Crossey, Head of Admissions and Care (Young People) at HMYOI Feltham
The Prison Journal, May 2015
1. Introduction, 2. Racialisation and criminalisation, 3. Approaching black men's desistance, 4. Developing a black criminology of desistance, 5. Black men and the barriers towards desistance, 6.

Martin Glynn is Research Assistant at the University of Wolverhampton and completed his PhD at Birmingham City University, where he is also a visiting lecturer. His research interests include desistance, race/racialisation and crime, critical race theory, ethnodrama, masculinities and crime, and crime and social determinants of health.

Should I go against weather and start Davis? Or go ahead and take my chances with a hobbled Clark against Tampa?

THE lab has the feel of the Cold War about it. At the entrance, security guards check guests for unauthorised cameras and recording devices. Foreign nationals must surrender their passports for ID checks. Even the cafeteria has a government-issue air about it.
This is the Applied Physics Laboratory, a department of Johns Hopkins University, set in 350 acres of rolling hills not far from Washington DC. Much of the research is funded by the US Department of Defense, and the work of James Franson is no exception.
The military are interested in Franson's work because he may have found a way to build superfast quantum computers that can carry out calculations impossible by any other means. The big problem with quantum computing is that any calculation is ruined if the particle carrying the information is disturbed in any way. So if you use electrons, atoms or ions to carry information, ...
