The committee is encouraging David Kennedy, of the committee. 12 "America's Dair yland" Under Attack by PETA If the animal-rights group PETA had its way, Wisconsin's license plate slogan "America's Dairyland" would be changed to "America's Cow Hell." "Today's factory farms are hell on Earth for animals and shouldn't be celebrated on Wisconsin license plates," says PETA campaign coordinator Lindsay Rajt. "People who care about cows shouldn't be forced to use their cars as free advertising for an industry that forcibly impregnates cows and then tears their babies away and locks them up in veal crates for the remainder of their short lives." PETA has sent the following letter to Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle: Dear Governor Doyle: On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our thousands of members and supporters across Wisconsin, I am writing to ask you to endorse an alternative to the ubiquitous "America's Dairyland" license plate out of respect for the many Wisconsinites who do not wish to support animal abuse on factory farms. Instead of the "America's Dairyland" slogan with the quaint barn in the background, we'd like to see a new license plate that reads, "Wisconsin: America's Cow Hell" and has a more realistic image, perhaps depicting sick cows in a cramped, filthy factory-farm shed. The dairy industry is far from the romanticized fairy tale of Old MacDonald's Farm that milk companies want consumers to envision. In real life, thousands of cows are forced to live in barren, severely crowded factory-farm feedlots, where they spend their days mired in mud and their own feces. Most factory-farmed cows suffer from a painful udder infection called mastitis, which is exacerbated by filthy conditions and the growth hormones that farmers routinely give to cows so that they will pump out milk like machines, not mammals. Of course, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to force them to keep giving milk, they are repeatedly impregnated using what farmers call a "rape rack." Their calves are taken away shortly after birth; most calves spend their short lives confined to veal crates, unable to move. After several years of milk production, the cows' worn-out bodies are ground up and turned into hamburgers. In addition to causing immense animal suffering, the dairy industry is a leading contributor to climate change as well as air and water pollution in the Badger State. Caring and informed Wisconsinites are increasingly making the compassionate choice to go vegan; these kind folks are dismayed that their vehicles are being used as free advertising space for the cruel dairy industry. Please encourage the legislature to create an alternative license plate that provides an accurate depiction of this abusive and environmentally destructive industry. Madison-based Alliance for Animals (AFA) has produced a sticker that can be placed over "America's Dairyland" until the permanent "America's Cow Hell" plate is available. Attached is a photograph showing the sticker on a car owned by PETA staffer/AFA member Jackie Wochos. Wisconsin residents can order a license plate sticker at AFA's Web site. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours, Ingrid E.

The Chicago Cubs keep on trucking. Even as they were announcing the signing of lefty Jon Lester, the Cubs were continuing to re-tool there pitching staff. The Cubs signed right-handed veteran Jason Motte to a 1-year, $4.5 million deal. Motte had spent his entire career with the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, even serving as their closer during their 2011 World Series Championship season. Motte had his best year in 2012 – racking up 42 saves with a 2.75 ERA while making 67 appearances. But the wear-and-tear of those 2 seasons caught up with Motte after that. Motte experienced elbow trouble in 2013, missing the entire season after having Tommy John surgery. Motte never returned to form in 2014, struggling to a 4.68 ERA in 29 appearances.
Assuming Motte is fully healthy at the start of the 2015 campaign, he should be a nice veteran addition to the back end of the bullpen. And knowing how new Manager Joe Madden likes to keep everyone involved in the mix, Madden should love a guy like this to have at his disposal.

Lux: High-Efficiency Semiconductor Costs to Drop
Wide-band-gap semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride, or GaN, offer far higher efficiencies than traditional silicon but cost significantly more. But by 2020 GaN costs will drop enough for it to become competitive based on performance gains, according to a Lux Research report.
Bulk GaN is very expensive today, costing about $1,900 or more for a two-inch substrate, compared with $25 to $50 for a far larger six-inch silicon substrate. But GaN materials offer higher efficiencies than silicon, leading to greater energy savings in devices like power electronics, laser diodes, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These gains can offset cost disadvantages – the price-to-performance ratio is the key to adoption, according to Price or Performance: Bulk GaN Vies with Silicon for Value in LEDs, Power Electronics and Laser Diodes.
The future of bulk GaN is going to come down to how it faces off against silicon substrates, according to Pallavi Madakasira, Lux Research analyst and the lead author of the report. "Bulk GaN wins in laser diodes and it can become relevant in LEDs and power electronics by boosting yield and performance," said Madakasira.
Lux Research analysts broke down the manufacturing costs for ammonothermal and hydride vapor phase epitaxy, or HVPE, processes for making bulk GaN, as well as for GaN epitaxy on both silicon and GaN substrates, and determined where the price/performance trade-off will land. They found that HVPE is the cheaper alternative.
Two-inch ammonothermal substrate costs will fall by more than 60 percent to $730/substrate in 2020. While four-inch HVPE substrate costs will fall by 40 percent to $1,340/substrate in 2020, the larger size makes it the more economical choice, the report says.
Bulk GaN can overcome high cost by boosting performance in terms of lumen output in LEDs or volt-amp capacity in power electronics, by allowing the use of smaller dies and providing higher yields. In LEDs, GaN can match silicon with a 380 percent relative performance – an "ambitious but realistic" goal, according to Lux. For power electronics, performance at 360 percent of devices on silicon makes bulk GaN "a winner," according to Lux.
In July, researchers at the University of Arizona said they had developed semiconductor manufacturing process that cuts water and energy use by 30 percent. The university's SRC Engineering Research Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing's sensor-based approach delivers the savings in the rinse and cleaning of wafer semiconductor materials by monitoring the wafer's surface in real-time to curb excessive use of resources.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.

Just in case anyone is wondering how "zinzulation" found its way into this thread. I had a message entitled "oonomatopoieae" - which said
"Hello, jmh - zinzulation is a word I've been told about, but never found in a dictionary. Apparently, it means the plangent sound made by a metal blade such as that of a buzz saw. Have you seen it anywhere?"
I wasn't sure if it was real so I asked a few fellow a-word-a-dayers for advice. I had quite a few good responses (for which I am very grateful) and managed to formulate a reply, mainly based on a message from twusm. He managed to turn up a reference to the word - I'll let him post his answer if he wishes. I think Jeff's reply is very useful for anyone needing to check out an obscure word.
Sorry to take you off the main subject with this message.

twusm"?? what kind of twisted name is twoooosum?!
It's somewhere between an "affectionate diminutive" (but not really diminutive enough for that) and a "malapropism". It would need two word for a "spoonerism", so I'll just stick with "bloomer".

Still off the subject - for anyone who is interested:
re: zinzulation - Here's the reply from tuswm (anagram of tsuwm)
I have one hit on a web search, from an Aussie newsletter:
We hope around Schofields there will be the zinzulation (7) of old aeroplanes, and the first should start to inhabit the place during September at the weekends. There will be the usual bavardage (does he mean badinage? - ed.) regarding "spam cans" etc. but we hope it will be put into the
category of "the colourful pageant of life".
7. echoic for the sound of power saws
I have no clue as to whether the author or the editor provided the footnoted definition, but I have found bavardage in my W3, which the editor could not verify.
p.p.s. - bavardage means smalltalk or chitchat. another wwftd, tra la!!

A dungeon adventure for 13th-level characters
Every year the Acadamae—Korvosa's prestigious school of the arcane arts—opens its gates to the city to host the Breaching Festival, where the most skilled infiltrators are invited to enter the magically guarded Hall of Wards or die trying. Testing their luck against the university's strongest defenses, the competitors pull out all the stops as they vie for a chance at a fortune in gold and magical treasure. This year, the school's headmaster has invited the heroes to participate, against the contest's longstanding traditions. While the Breaching Festival has not seen a champion in over a century and a half, this year's festival promises to be the deadliest trial the school has ever known. Should the heroes reign victorious, the secrets they may uncover promise more than gold and glory—they may rock the very foundation of the Acadamae, and even the entire city!
Academy of Secrets is an adventure for 13th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. It features a massive magical university, compatible with GameMastery Map Pack: Magic Academy and teeming with sorcerous traps, weird puzzles, diabolical monsters, and countless students and professors trapped in a web of arcane deceit. Also within, you'll find a brand-new monster and details on one of Golarion's most famous schools of magic, as mentioned in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Guide to Korvosa and the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path. While Academy of Secrets takes place in the metropolitan city of Korvosa, the magic academy within is suitable for use in any fantasy campaign setting.
Written by Brian Cortijo
