Astronomers study the elements scattered between the stars to learn about the internal workings of galaxies, their motion and chemistry. To date, however, attempts to detect the telltale radio signature of carbon in the very early Universe have been thwarted, perhaps – as some have speculated – by the need to allow a few billion years more for stars to manufacture sufficient quantities to be observed across such vast cosmic distances.

Design and Simulation of Phased Arrays For Radar/Aerospace Applications
Phased array antenna systems, which use sets of two or more antennas, offer improved performance over single antennas and are well-known for their usefulness in radar and aerospace applications. Communication system design software supports the design and analysis of phased arrays, as well as their implementation in a system of antenna elements, power divider/combiners, phase shifters, and other typical components. This article examines how software can be used to simulate both small and large phased arrays in typical configurations.
Designing a Phased Array Antenna Using Antenna Magus and CST STUDIO SUITE®
In order to consider all potential designs and quickly produce antennas that fit their specifications, engineers choose to use antenna synthesis. In addition to synthesis tools, full-wave 3D simulation can complement synthesis tools and allow designs to be checked and fine-tuned for effects that cannot be accounted for analytically. This article explains how the Antenna Magus, an antenna synthesis tool, and CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, a full-wave 3D electromagnetic simulation program, are used to design a planar phased array.
EMC Simulation In The Design Flow Of Modern Electronics
It is necessary to be compliant with all EMC standards in order to release a product to market. Since EMC engineering is traditionally only used in measurement, EMC compliance ends up being considered late in the design process. If problems arise at this late stage, correcting them can become expensive, especially if multiple prototype iterations are required. For this reason, simulation is used to allow EMC compliance to be analyzed in greater depth in the earlier stages of the design process.
Electromagnetic Design And Analysis Of Sensors
Many sensor applications rely heavily on the electromagnetic field and its accurate measurements. By using the CST STUDIO SUITE®, sensors are able to easily simulate electromagnetic fields through a wide range of Finite Element Methods (FEM) and other complementary simulation methods. This article walks through the use of the CST STUDIO SUITE® in virtual prototyping, field visualization, optimization, and modeling and CAD data import.
Gallium Nitride RF Devices for Harsh Military Environments
Today's advanced military systems – including phased array radar, communications systems and EW sensors – require high-frequency, high-bandwidth, high-power, high-efficiency devices. These applications are where GaN differentiates itself from other materials. GaN devices can operate at higher bias voltages, which provides several advantages at both the system/subsystem and circuit level, leading to a proportional decrease in current requirement for the circuit. The bottom line: GaN improves the system-level trade-off of size, weight, and power.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Congratulations to Therese M. Stewart, who on June 28, 2014 was nominated by Governor Jerry Brown to serve on California's First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco. Since 2002, Stewart has served as San Francisco's Chief Deputy City Attorney, and has led the city's litigation efforts to secure marriage equality, including in challenges to Proposition 8. If Stewart's appointment is approved by the state's Commission on Judicial Appointments, she will be the state's first openly lesbian appellate judge.
In response to the news of Stewart's nomination, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera issued the following statement: "Terry Stewart was my very first hire after I was elected City Attorney, and it has been an extraordinary honor to have someone with her intelligence, dedication and passionate commitment to justice serve as my chief deputy for more than a dozen years."
Herrera added: "I'd be lying if I didn't concede a degree of personal disappointment in knowing that she won't be standing by my side in the City Attorney's Office anymore. But I am incredibly proud of Terry for all she has accomplished in her career, for her appointment to the California Court of Appeal today, and for shattering one more historic barrier as California's first lesbian-identified appellate court justice. On a weekend in which San Francisco celebrates LGBT equality, Terry Stewart's historic appointment is still more cause to celebrate--not just for the LGBT community, but for all Californians who'll be so ably served by her remarkable gifts on the judiciary."
Stewart argued on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco in the trilogy of cases advocating for marriage equality at the California Supreme Court. She also led the team of San Francisco deputy city attorneys intervening as plaintiffs in the federal case challenging Proposition 8.
Stewart holds a B.A. from Cornell and a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
As an American Bar Association profile of her notes, in 2004, Stewart defended Mayor Newsom when he directed the county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in violation of state law. The defense was unsuccessful, but Stewart "snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by filing San Francisco's challenge to the state's discriminatory marriage laws." Representing San Francisco in the In re Marriage cases, she won the California Supreme Court decision that brought marriage equality to the Golden State for some months until Proposition 8 was passed.
When Proposition 8 passed, Stewart represented a group of cities and counties that challenged it in state court. After losing there, she represented San Francisco when it intervened as a plaintiff in the federal challenge, the case that became known as Hollingsworth v. Perry. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 26, 2013 that the proponents of Prop 8 lacked standing to appeal, marriage equality returned to California.
Stewart has received The Bar Association of San Francisco Foundation's highest honor, the Champion of Justice Award, and the California Bar Journal's prestigious CLAY award for civil rights. She was featured on the cover of the American Lawyer in 2004 and profiled as one of "Ten Lawyers Who Shaped a Decade" by the Daily Journal in 2010.
Stewart was awarded the ABA's Margaret Brent Award for "her decades of extraordinary advocacy--in both the private and public sectors--in support of women, minorities, the LGBT community and other marginalized groups."
In the video below, from 2011, Stewart describes her career as an openly lesbian attorney.

Pasadena Memorial's Cole kicking it with the boys
By John Brannen | October 8, 2012
Photo By Joe BuvidPasadena Memorial's Tara Cole has earned a starting job kicking extra points and short field goals - and the respect of her male coaches and teammates.
Photo By Joe BuvidPasadena Memorial's Tara Cole (1) stands with her team during the National Anthem at Pasadena Veterans Memorial Stadium on Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, in Pasadena. ( Joe Buvid / For the Chronicle )
When Tara Cole told her parents she wanted to play football in junior high, she was greeted with more acceptance than resistance.
By the time Cole was in high school, she was winning over the coaching staff at Pasadena Memorial.
"She has a good work ethic," Memorial coach Chris Quillian said. "When you're young and you know how to work, you'll gain respect from people, even if you're not talented. Her talent along with her work ethic is what makes people respect her."
There were several players from the boys' soccer team in the mix to start at kicker for the Mavericks, but they lost interest.
That left Cole as the lead candidate for the job.
"We had a couple of guys last year, and they decided they didn't want to play," Quillian said. "She was always going to be on varsity. Her role just expanded."
Cole is known for her skills as a soccer player. She was an all-district goalkeeper for the Mavericks last spring.
Finding her footing
When she was in sixth grade, Cole was encouraged to try out for the football team.
What was an experiment has turned into a lasting experience.
"My friends knew I played soccer and wanted me to kick just for a year," she said. "I ended up loving it, so I stuck with it and kept playing."
She intends to play soccer past high school and hopes to continue her special-teams career as well.
"I have a couple of schools looking at me for soccer, but hopefully I'll be able to play a little football, too," Cole said. "I've made contact with the Naval Academy's football team and the Coast Guard's."
But success on the soccer field does not directly translate to the gridiron.
"It's not as easy as everybody thinks," Cole said. "A football is definitely harder to kick. Everyone thinks if you're a soccer player you can just go out there and it's nothing. But there's a technique to it. You have to have your steps right, keep your head down and not look up."
Making contact
Some kickers can repeatedly hit long field goals in practice - Cole's personal best is around 35 yards - but there's still no substitute for field-goal tries under pressure.
"You have to trust your teammates," Cole said. "It's very nerve-wracking, and it can be more mental than physical. You're hoping on a lot of factors. You're hoping for a good block from the line, a good hold, and then kick it the best you can."
Roughing up a kicker will trigger penalties, and Cole is a botched snap or a kickoff return away from contact.
That's not news to her.
"She's had to tackle people before," Quillian said. "Tara will go up and hit people. She's not afraid of it. She has pads on like everybody else and is not afraid to stick her head in there and do what she has to do."

More than year after his death, Michael Jackson is poised to rule the charts again.
Today, a duet the pop icon recorded with hip-hop singer Akon goes on sale. Nevermind that the song, "Hold My Hand," was recorded three years ago -- hear that? It's the sound of millions of people clicking "download."
"Hold My Hand" is the first official single of the upcoming album "Michael," which includes Jackson's previously unreleased material. It premiered on MichaelJackson.com at 12:01 ET today and is now available for digital downloading on multiple platforms.
Why was "Hold My Hand" chosen as the album's first official single? Because Jackson decreed that's the way it should be. Before his death, he penned a note that expressed his desire to release "Hold My Hand" as his upcoming album's first single. That note is now property of his estate.
Jackson-philes might recognize the ballad: an unfinished version leaked in 2008. But in a statement put out by Sony Music, which is releasing the album, Akon said the song that goes on sale today differs from what fans heard before.
"The world was not ready to hear 'Hold My Hand' when it leaked a couple years ago," he said. "We were devastated about it. But its time has definitely come; now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song. I'm so proud to have had the chance to work with Michael, one of my all-time idols."
Akon was also involved in the songwriting process.
"In 2007, I co-wrote a song called "Hold My Hand" with Akon," songwriter Claude Kelly said on his Tumblr blog Friday. "A good friend and dope engineer, Exit Goodchild, made it sound like magic. My idol, Michael Jackson, recorded it and made one of my lifelong dreams come true. It was slated to come out. ... What happened next the whole world knows. It's now 2010, and although the circumstances are bittersweet, I am still honored and proud that 'Hold My Hand' will have its day in the sun. Grateful."
Sony Music also revealed some of the big-name acts whose collaborations with Jackson will be included on "Michael," due to drop Dec. 14. Below, check out the album's track listing:
1. Hold My Hand (Duet with Akon)
2. Hollywood Tonight
3. Keep Your Head Up
4. (I Like) The Way You Love Me
5. Monster (Featuring 50 Cent)
6. Best Of Joy
7. Breaking News
8. (I Can't Make It) Another Day (Featuring Lenny Kravitz)
9. Behind The Mask
10. Much Too Soon
While "Hold My Hand" is "Michael's" first official single, last week Sony began online-streaming of another track from the album, "Breaking News." At the same time, Jackson's family voiced its protests about the album's release and concerns that the "new" songs might be fake.
"If Michael had wanted this music released, he would have done so before his death," Joe Jackson's attorney, Brian Oxman, said in a statement.
"The songs which are being released on the new Michael Jackson album were unfinished and incomplete tracks that Michael said over and over many times he never wanted released," Oxman said. "We should honor Michael Jackson's wishes."
Jackson's nephews took to Twitter to question whether their uncle is actually the person singing on the new songs.

I'm in pain and afraid my cancer is coming back….
There are many, many reasons why people have pain. Most of which have nothing to do with cancer. And anyone who's been through cancer,
the minute they feel pain it goes through this filter in their brain that says, Oh my gosh, my cancer's back.
And the truth is that it's probably not back. It's probably that you have a tendonitis or you have a headache, or something totally different that is easily treated and so on.
So if you have a really persistent pain, that has been there more than two weeks, that's unrelenting and something that's causing you to take notice,
then you should definitely be going to your doctor for that and getting a workup and looking at that.

Afghan results in questionJuly 7, 2014 10:05 PM
Share with others:
KABUL, Afghanistan — Despite accusations of widespread fraud and threats of protests, Afghanistan's election commission announced preliminary presidential runoff results Monday, then followed them with a huge caveat: that there was no winner yet, with the prospect that millions of votes would be subjected to a special audit for fraud.
In an announcement delayed for hours by negotiations, the country's Independent Election Commission reported that Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai was more than a million votes ahead of Abdullah Abdullah, with a total of more than 8.1 million votes counted. That tally was far higher than previously estimated, and immediately cast even more doubt on an election already marred by weeks of conflict and accusations.
The U.S. State Department, in its most strongly worded statement on the election yet, emphasized that the preliminary results were "not final or authoritative" and demanded that Afghan election officials "implement a thorough audit whether or not the two campaigns agree."
Ukraine rebels brace
KIEV, Ukraine — Separatist rebels retreated Monday from positions throughout eastern Ukraine, apparently blowing up bridges as they went, and began building barricades in the two largest cities, Donetsk and Luhansk, in anticipation of a final stand against advancing government troops.
Ukrainian officials said Monday that they had succeeded in sealing the previously porous border with Russia, stopping the influx of new weapons and fighters and prompting bitter complaints from separatist leaders about being sold out by their patrons in Moscow.
Mobsters given communion
ROME — A Roman Catholic priest, Marco Colonna, told la Repubblica newspaper in an article published on Monday that he was continuing to give Holy Communion to mafia bosses at a high-security prison in Italy, even after Pope Francis said members of organised crime groups were "excommunicated."
During a trip to one of Italy's most mafia-infested regions last month, Pope Francis for the first time described mafiosi as "excommunicated" — totally cut off from the Church — because "their lives follow this path of evil."
The Vatican has said the pope's use of the word "excommunication" last month had not amounted to a formal decree under church law.
Quake rocks Guatemala, Mexico
GUATEMALA CITY — A strong earthquake shook the border between Guatemala and Mexico on Monday, killing at least five people, including a newborn boy, damaging dozens of buildings and triggering landslides.
Much of the damage from the 6.9-magnitude quake was reported in the Guatemalan border region of San Marcos, where it downed power lines, cracked buildings and triggered landslides which blocked roads.
Same-sex weddings recognized
UNITED NATIONS — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Monday that the United Nations will recognize all same-sex marriages of staff members at the world body.
Previously, a staff member's personal status was determined by the laws of their country of nationality, said U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq. But now the United Nations will recognize all same-sex couples married in a country where it is legal, regardless of their nationality.
Sissi regrets conviction
CAIRO — President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt expressed regret in remarks published Monday at the convictions of three journalists from Al-Jazeera's English-language service, saying that the sentences had "negative consequences" and that he preferred the journalists had been deported rather than put on trial.
Mr. Sissi's comments were his first public criticism of a case that has focused international condemnation on the Egyptian government, and they appeared to raise the possibility of a presidential pardon for the journalists, who were all sentenced last month to at least seven years in prison on charges that they had conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood to broadcast false news.

Though the community and, indeed the entire Anambra State will continue to be grateful to the Nibo Town Union (NTU) led by Okey Goodluck Nwankwo for the completion of the community's town hall that had been under construction for 23 years, the unexpected happened on August 6, 2011.
To the chagrin of some members of the community including their monarch, His Royal Majesty (Dr) Ezeugonwanne M.C Ngene Ezeike IV and some of his titled chiefs, it was announced that their President-General, Mr Okey Goodluck Nwankwo had been impeached.
In his place, Mr Okey Okoye, a lawyer, was elected President-General of the community following a motion moved by Chief Ogugua Uche which was seconded by the former Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Barrister K.C. Enenmou.
Since then, confusion and division have enveloped the community once noted for its unity as there are claims and counter-claims by each camp. Several petitions from each group had been sent to Governor Peter Obi, the State Police Command led by Muhtari Ibrahim and State Security Service (SSS) to intervene to avert any bloodbath.
The battle for supremacy in the kingdom has, allegedly, claimed the life of a 58-year-old messenger of the area, Mrs. Beatrice Aniekwe.
The widow, Newsextra gathered, met her untimely death when a motorcycle operator knocked her down while on an errand of distributing anti-impeachment letters in the community.
When the incident happened, the union, in order to save her life, took her to three different hospitals including Nnewi Teaching Hospital before she died.
Though, no date has been fixed for the burial of the widow whose husband died about 20 years ago, the union has started mobilising forces to give her a befitting burial.
Not only that, the union has equally concluded arrangement to complete her building which was started about 15 years ago.
The woman, Newsextra also gathered, hailed from Agulu in Aniocha Local Government Area of the state but was married to Nibo man.
Some of the allegations leveled against Nwankwo by the community were lack of respect and usurping the functions of the traditional ruler of the kingdom, Ezeike Nibo and embezzlement of Nibo Town Union's funds, among others.
Some extracts of the meeting that preceded the impeachment of Nwankwo were made available to Newsextra by some members of the community where the new President-General promised to discharge his duties efficiently and to work according to the dictates of Nibo Constitution.
However, he implored the former President-General, Nwankwo to hand over all the property of Nibo Town Union in his custody within seven days from the date of the meeting and impeachment.
In another petition to Governor Obi, the police, SSS and other relevant authorities which was signed by Okey Goodluck Nwankwo and dated August 10, 2011 and which was made available to Newsextra recently, he said that the purported impeachment was illegal and did not comply with Nibo Constitution of 1983 as amended.
He also alleged that the impeachment by ambush allegedly took place at an illegal meeting organised by an equally illegal land compensation committee and Ezeike IV group. He further alleged that the meeting was presided at by Ezeike IV even though government had cancelled the ordinary general meeting of Nibo on the said August 6, 2011.
Nwankwo, in the petition further said that the offence he committed was not bringing out the proceeds belonging to the community to be shared among some selfish individuals and his refusal to allot the shops belonging to the people to himself and some members of his executive.
The petition reads in part: "We have informed our people that the number of shops leased were 56 at the rate of 200,000. Most of the payments were made in cheques.
"Those who paid still have their bank deposit slips as proofs of payment. We got a total of N11.2m from these lease agreements. All will be accounted for during April 2012 Annual General Assembly meeting."
Meanwhile, another petition by the Enugu State branch of the union was addressed to Governor Obi, the police, SSS, Chairman, Transition Committee Awka South Local Government Area, all branches of Nibo Town Union among others.
The petition entitled "Resolution of Nibo Union Enugu Branch on the illegal meeting and purported impeachment of President-General of Nibo Union – Pharmacist Okey Goodluck Nwankwo and some members of his executive on August 6, 2011" was signed by Engr. Chigbo Obealor as Chairman and Evangelist Emma Ekemezie as Secretary.
It reads: "We the members of Nibo Union Enugu Branch, through our Resolution in our Branch General Meeting of 07-Aug-2011 hereby state as follows:-
"That Okey Goodluck Nwankwo is the President-General of Nibo Town Union.
"That the purported impeachment of the President-General of Nibo, Pharm. Okey Goodluck Nwankwo and some members of his executive by some people, in their illegal meeting is unfounded and not recognised by Enugu Branch Union of Nibo.
"That all decisions taken in that their illegal meeting are regarded as null and void by the Enugu Branch Union of Nibo.
"That we commend and pass a vote of absolute confidence on the executive of Nibo Town Union under the leadership of Pharm. Okey Goodluck Nwankwo for abiding by the directive of Government of Anambra State through the Administrator of Awka South L.G.A, to call off the Nibo Ordinary General Meeting of 06-Aug-2011.
"That we condemn any act of violence in Nibo by some people who are trying to subvert the constitution of Nibo Town Union, since the Constitution is superior to anybody or group in Nibo Town.
"That we condemn in its entirely the way and manner some people, on that day, disobeyed the timeline of Government of Anambra State that called off the meeting by embarking on their illegal meeting for their personal goals."
Other Nibo Union branches, including those in the Diaspora had been writing letters to the appropriate authorities on the upsetting issue.
The only time to stop the raging squabble in Nibo by the security agencies and the state government is now. Any delay is likely to result in another communal clash which has, in recent times, been the norm in Anambra State.

Colt Defense, the US gun maker that filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, had tried to get its bondholders to accept a haircut by showing them just how poorly they would fare should the company have to liquidate. The idea was that bondholders should accept the company's 45 cents on the dollar offer as a part of a debt restructuring where the company would survive and go forward. Otherwise, bondholders would get nothing in the event that company just held a fire sale for its assets.

Vin G. Tsui, a founder and managing partner of Business Lawgix LLP: The answer is patience, education and communication, but not necessarily in that order. These three things are the foundation of successful change management in a family business.
Taking a business to the "next level" is seldom a product of minor changes. The level of change being contemplated is not likely to happen overnight. Your plans will need to account for the degree of acceptance by those who have spent their whole life getting the business to its current state. People tend to prefer maintaining the status quo. So make sure you have a lot of patience and take solace in incremental changes over time.
To get buy-in for the changes you wish to implement, you also need to educate. Lack of understanding breeds distrust and fear. You need to ensure that those affected by the changes understand the need, nature and value of the impending changes. No one is suggesting that you lecture everyone on the value of innovation. But you need to build dialogue through various forums to gain acceptance for the planned changes. You need to establish strategic alliances and identify champions for changes that you aim to implement.
All of this requires effective communication. This deceivingly simple concept is often difficult to implement in practice. In a family business effective communication is at the same time marred and assisted by the family history that the participants share. Communication involves more than just words.
Personal biases, predispositions, context, gestures, body language, tone, history, and mood have the effect of modifying a simple communication. Because effective communication is at minimum a dyadic relationship, there are at least two interpretations to each element. Consequently, a phrase like "I don't care" can impart a multitude of meanings. I have learned that depending on the context, such a phrase can actually mean, "I care a great deal" (I thank my wife for that lesson).
The essence of communication is not what is said, but the message that is perceived. Effective communication requires that the recipient receive the content and meaning of the message as intended. The following are some keys to effective communication:
▪ Ensure that the communication is timely, consistent and meaningful.
▪ Tailor your message to your audience.
▪ Make your message clear and compelling.
▪ Think about your message before communicating it.
In crafting your communication (whether verbal or written), ask yourself these questions: How will someone in the position and condition of the recipient (with similar experiences, tendencies and biases) receive the message that you are trying to convey? When is the right time and where is the right place to deliver the message? Are you the right messenger? Does the message need to be delivered at all?
Sometimes, it is more effective to present recipients with sufficient information to allow them to discover the intended message. In other cases, the best way to deliver critical messages is through an independent third party, such as a trusted adviser of the recipient. Every situation, and to a certain extent every person, is different and there isn't a one size fits all solution. Finally, do the best that you can to separate personal history from business imperatives.
Question from Eileen Hennemann: What would be a key component in each of the four experts' services that would convince a founder to establish a succession plan, as well as pursue this exercise now - not later - when retirement is near?
Murray Gottheil: Founders care about their families, their employees and their legacy. Protecting all of these interests requires giving thought to a number of issues. These include maximizing the value of the business, preparing family members to take on responsibility for the business, establishing conditions under which family members and the business will be able to thrive without the founder in charge, taking steps to ensure that key employees who are not family members will remain loyal, and taking responsibility for not allowing sibling rivalry or other family issues to jeopardize the financial well-being of everyone involved.
Since founders do care about all of these things, one would think it would be difficult to imagine why a founder would have to be convinced to establish a succession plan. However, founders are also human – some are afraid to contemplate what they will do when they are no longer running their own businesses, or to think about their own demise, and these fears prevent them from addressing business succession.

Heineken Cup: Glasgow fall to defeat at Castres after late try
Last Updated: 16/12/12 5:17pm
Ibrahim Diarra: Was involved in an apparent stamping incident in the second half
Glasgow fell agonisingly short of staging a Heineken Cup upset against Castres as a late try gave the French side a 10-8 win at Stade Pierre Antoine.
The Warriors led until the closing minutes after John Barclay stole in for a try late in the first half, but after being temporarily reduced to 13 men they could not hold on.
However, after Yannick Caballero had scored what proved to be the winning try, Glasgow had the chance to retake the lead only to see Ruaridh Jackson strike his penalty against the upright.
The victory moves Castres up to second in Pool 4, three points behind Ulster.
The visitors struck first as Peter Horne slotted over a penalty in the second minute but soon after that score was cancelled out by Castres full-back Romain Teulet.
Horne and Teulet then both missed their next attempts, the latter being just short from the halfway line, but otherwise it was Glasgow who looked more likely to break the stalemate.
Castres' Marcel Garvey made a crucial intervention as Sean Lamont tried to play in DTH Van Der Merwe and although the hosts continued to come under pressure, the Warriors seemed unable to make it count and Castres eventually enjoyed a good spell of their own.
But on the stroke of half-time Ryan Wilson seared through the home defence before spinning the ball across to Barclay, whose grounding of the ball was confirmed by the television match official.
Horne's missed conversion meant Glasgow were 8-3 ahead at the interval, and after the break it was Castres who started to press forward with more urgency.
The Warriors hung on admirably but their hopes of resisting a comeback suffered a blow in the 65th minute when lock Tom Ryder was shown the yellow card for an infringement at a lineout.
Castres were somewhat fortunate not to have their own numbers reduced after an apparent stamp by Ibrahim Diarra but it was Glasgow who went down to 13 men when Byron McGuigan was sin-binned.
And that allowed Castres to finally make the breakthrough as Caballero finished off a catch and drive from a five-metre lineout, with Daniel Kirkpatrick crucially adding the extras to make it 10-8 to the hosts.
Glasgow were then dramatically awarded a penalty soon after but Ruaridh Jackson was a coat of paint away from turning the tables again.

Miami head coach Al Golden did not name a starting quarterback at the end of spring practice. He let senior Jacory Harris and sophomore Stephen Morris compete all through the offseason and into fall camp. When Harris was sidelined for one game as a punishment for accepting impermissible benefits, Morris became the starter - for the time being.
Monday, Sept. 5 - Morris completes 19 of 28 passes for 195 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions. Golden re-opens the quarterback competition with a week off before facing Ohio State on Sept. 17.
Tuesday, Sept. 6 - Golden tells reporters he will let Morris and Harris compete "Thursday, Friday, Saturday and then figure it out."
Wednesday, Sept. 7 - Miami releases new depth chart. Harris is listed as the No. 1 quarterback. No comment from any member of the coaching staff.
The sudden change of heart had many Hurricanes fans wondering what happened to "then figure it out."
"It would be in my best interest to announce [the starter] on Saturday and not have to deal with it," Golden explained on Thursday. "But the reality is I had a chance to sit down, watch the game several times, meet with the offensive staff, meet with guys on the team and evaluate it.
"I slept on it, felt good about it and made a decision. That's who I am. That's the decision we made. We'll move forward from there."
Golden also explained that he felt Harris had earned the starting role in training camp, and with his experience and body of work. Harris has seen significant action every season since the Miami native set foot on campus, but the results have been inconsistent. At times he was discussed as a possible Heisman candidate, and other times he could not even keep the starting job to himself when healthy. His career numbers reflect those highs and lows, with 50 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.
Golden and offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch believe that Harris is a much different player today, and they must be confident that he will not repeat the four interception performance against Ohio State.
Harris has a chance in his final year to shape the way we remember his career at Miami. Golden has spoken frequently and often about the leadership of the senior class since he arrived in Coral Gables. With five of their eight suspended players back on the field, and facing the threat of an 0-2 start: the Hurricanes can change the tone of their season with a home upset in primetime. You hear about the players-only meeting called by senior defensive lineman Marcus Forston on Thursday. You see Golden's faith in Harris to lead the offense. It seems the offseason comments about the seniors "buying in" might be more than coachspeak.
But give credit to Morris for what he was able to accomplish. The sophomore has proven across the last two seasons that he can manage the responsibilities of a starting quarterback. CBSSports.com's Brian London reports that Morris took the news well, and "is not a guy who pouts." When Harris graduates, the offense will still be in Morris' capable hands for the future.
The coaching staff says Jacory Harris is a different player. The old Jacory threw four interceptions against Ohio State. If the Hurricanes want to win, they have no choice but for this new player to suit up on Sept. 17.

District Attorney Donald Gallegos recently announced his decision to dismiss charges against Robertson administrators, namely, the superintendent and athletic director, and former coaches. As much as I respect Mr. Gallegos, I disagree with his analysis and conclusion concerning these cases.
The U.S. Census reported last week that one in four New Mexicans lacks health insurance — the second highest rate in the nation. Only Texas has a higher rate of uninsured.
Disconcerting news, yes, but not devastating because, well, health insurance just isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Here are a couple of loaded questions: What's the biggest reason for personal bankruptcies in the United States? Yes, it's medical bills. And what do three-fourths of those who file for bankruptcy have? Believe it or not, it's health insurance.
Bill Richardson has been New Mexico's governor since 2003, and he has done some good things since taking the helm.
His all-out effort against drunken driving has seen some success. And unlike his predecessors, Richardson has made economic development a priority, and that includes the film industry, which has benefitted Las Vegas.
An open letter to Congressman Joe Wilson (and those who support his outburst):
Presidents and their administrations come and go. This country was founded on principles and institutions — and not on individuals. The fastest way to erode the very foundations of this country is to legitimize the disrespect and contempt of these very foundations.
I would like to add to Glenn Yocum's letter to the Optic published Sept. 11. Glenn's letter indicated that he had received superior service from Medicare personnel than he did from any private insurer he contacted.
While I would echo his comments from my own experience, I would add something Glenn may not know. Medicare provides superior service at a much lower cost. The Medicare program spends 97 cents of every tax dollar they receive paying benefits and only 3 cents on administration.
The friends of Carnegie Library would like to extend an enormous thank you to the citizens and businesses of the city of Las Vegas for their overwhelming support of our annual raffle fundraiser. This year, we have five art pieces, donated by local artists that will each make a beautiful addition to the homes of our winners.
The claims by the Las Vegas mayor and city attorney that they did not have to turn over e-mails between the mayor and city councilors because they were communicated over a private account or a private nongovernment server is like saying that it's not public record if the mayor and city councilors had a conference call over the mayor's home phone or held a meeting at the mayor's house.
Nothing like "common sense" can effect the thinking of the political mind when scrambling for an excuse.
thumb DOWN for ... WAY TOO MANY. It's hard to keep up with the violence. The latest is the death of 59-year-old Ernest Gutierrez, who police say was killed by the hands of his son-in-law, Mica Murray. He was allegedly choked to death.
By our count, that makes three homicides this year alone. According to FBI statistics, the national homicide rate is one per 20,000 people; here in San Miguel County, the rate this year alone is one in 10,000. And there have been at least 10 homicides in Las Vegas since May 2007.

"There has been an agreement but there is no confidence," French ecology minister Delphine Batho told the iTele network.
"Mittal has never kept his promises in the past," she said. "We are absolutely mobilised and the arm-wrestling with Mittal will continue to ensure that the pledges are respected."
French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault announced a deal on Friday in which he said ArcelorMittal had committed to invest at least 180 million euros ($234 million) over five years at the Florange site in northeastern France. The government and the steelmaker had been waging high-stakes brinkmanship for weeks over the fate of two blast furnaces at the plant.
ArcelorMittal wanted to shut them for good because of a slump in demand for low-end steel products.
It had given the government until December 1 to find a buyer for the blast furnaces after which it would begin laying off around 630 employees.
The government responded by threatening to nationalise the entire site, which contains facilities to produce higher-end products that ArcelorMittal wanted to keep. Paris said it could not find a buyer for just the furnaces.
Under Friday's deal, the two blast furnaces ArcelorMittal had closed would be left intact until EU financing was confirmed for an existing carbon-capture project, while ArcelorMittal agreed not to proceed with forced job cuts.
The dispute had left President Francois Hollande's government caught between a pledge to protect jobs and the need to improve the competitiveness of French industry as the country faces rising unemployment and stagnant growth.
It also came at a difficult time for ArcelorMittal. The company is saddled with a debt mountain that is expected to rise to $22 billion by the end of the year, with Moody's recently downgrading its credit rating to junk status.

Seven Years Blogging4 11 2013
I missed the actual anniversary a couple days ago. So, I'm taking this opportunity to make my first ever post via mobile device (umm, phone.)
As I've said before, Bull Runnings has provided and continues to provide me with opportunities the like I never imagined: writing jobs, speaking gigs, and interactions with beaucoup interesting and generous folks.
Readership has levelled off since the heady days of 2011, in part due to my decision to move some types of posts over to social media, but also I think as part of a drop off in more casual interest in the Civil War in general. But that's OK with me.
I thank all of you for your interest and participation now, then, and in the future. Good stuff still to come!

Our Friend Shotgun8 09 2013
I received news today that my friend (and yours, even if you don't know it) Dick Weeks, aka Shotgun, is quite ill. All of us who comprise the online Civil War "community" owe Shotgun a debt of gratitude. Probably more than any single person he has over the past 20 or so years shaped how that community looks today. In addition to building and maintaining one of the most widely used general Civil War websites, Shotgun's Home of the American Civil War, he has also maintained a message board and a chat room which is still active. And by organizing annual battlefield "musters," he has provided the opportunity for far flung individuals who had known each other by screen name only to meet, learn, share research, and form long lasting friendships.
Shotgun possesses the rare ability to carry over his friendly, helpful, generous, and civil personality from "real life" to the web. While a sterile bio might leave one with the impression he is a "tough old bird" – and in some ways he is, a military man who calls 'em as he sees 'em – Shotgun is a truly good guy, and even if he tells you you're full of, um, baloney, he can do it in a way that doesn't make you feel like that of which you are most likely full.
I've been on plenty of battlefield tours of varying sizes and logistical complexity over the years, some costing hundreds of dollars, with dozens of attendees and multiple faculty, but none have exceeded a muggy, wet day spent with Shotgun and our mutual friend Teej Smith touring the battlefield of Second Manassas. If you've never had the chance to walk that ground with Sgt. Weeks and his hand-colored Hennessy maps, you've really missed out. But best of all was retiring to Shotgun's house in Herndon for what he calls "grilled meat and adult beverages." To this day I can't recall what kind of meat was grilled, but delicious as it was it didn't compare to the conversation and camaraderie shared by three tired but happy Civil War nuts that night.
Over the years Shotgun has been many things to many people – devoted son, father, and husband, patriotic two-branch veteran, mentor, innovator, hand-lender – but I'll bet most folks whose lives he has touched think of him simply as friend. His daughter Michele informs us that he'd really like to hear from his friends just now, and she'll see to it that he's made aware of the contents of any messages sent to his email address, email@example.com.
Dick, the thoughts and prayers of my family are with you and yours. Thanks for everything. You're Finest Kind.

New Blog: Tales from the Army of the Potomac21 08 2013
New to the Civil War blogroll is Tales from the Army of the Potomac, hosted by Dr. Timothy Orr. Tim teaches history at Old Dominion University, is a Gettysburg College grad, earned his PhD at Penn State [ROAR!], has been a seasonal ranger with the NPS and a re-enactor, and is an all-around good guy. He may be best known as the historian who made Kelly Clarkson cry on national television. This should be good stuff, if the first four posts are any indication. Here's an interview he did for Bull Runnings a while back.

Another One Bites the Dust27 06 2013
Ethan Rafuse of Civil Warriors has decided to bow out of the blogging arena, and given the load he's carried at that co-hosted site I imagine we've seen its end. Everyone has their own reasons for blogging or not blogging, and I'm not going to evaluate Ethan's decision making one way or the other. His is a voice that will be missed. I do hope to continue to shoot the shinola with him as in the past – it's always been fun!

Rufus Barringer Civil War Roundtable, Pinehurst, NC, 4/18/201329 04 2013
About 45 people showed up for my presentation to the Rufus Barringer Civil War Roundtable in Southern Pines, NC (the area is generally Pinehurst.) This presentation was a first for me, though I have spoken to the group on two other occasions. Program director and friend Tonia (Teej) Smith asked me to speak to the membership on blogging. That's a pretty general topic, but also one which I wasn't sure I could speak about for an hour without repeated use of "I" and "me." As I developed the program it turned into a look at what I call The Future of Civil War History From a Slightly Different Point of View. I really had only a very general idea of the outline of the program, and hoped it would foster a give-and-take with the audience, since they are the very sorts of folks I feel will be playing a big role in that future. OK, I did have to use "I" and "me" a good bit.
Drawing on some writing by Garry Wills in Henry Adams and the Making of America, Ken Noe, James Ellroy, John Huston, the Coen Brothers, and some of the pieces I've written here over the years, we examined the changing landscape of "history" in the digital age. I compared our recent and future times with that of the "gentleman historians" of the 19th century, and we discussed how digital archives and the web in general have lessened to some extent the barriers to research. And we talked a bit about how those in the room could get started in participating in the process. There were plenty of questions and lots of enthusiasm, and an encouraging line of folks who wanted to carry on the discussion after my time was up.
On Friday Teej and I made a trip west to Salisbury, NC, site of a wartime Confederate prison and the grave of Col. Charles Fisher of the 6th NC, who was killed in action at First Bull Run. Here are a few photos of his grave in the Old Lutheran Cemetery.
You can see more photos of the trip to Salisbury on Bull Runnings's Facebook Page. The image of the group at the top of the page is "flipped", but you can see it in its proper orientation on Facebook.
As always, Teej and RBCWRT president "Harry" Hilgrove treated me top rate. If you're in the area on the third Thursday of the month, check them out in Southern Pines.

• The 11-year-old has put her fundraising efforts to buy her grandfather a walk-in tub on hold so she can deal with her own health problems she is encountering.
PETERSBURG — Little Morgan Hoffman may be only 11, but she's got a big heart, especially for her grandfather, David Maurer.
The Petersburg girl wants to buy her grandfather a walk-in tub and shower to be placed in his bathroom. Mr. Maurer, 61, breathes with an oxygen tank and has heart problems. His granddaughter already has raised $23 by doing chores, but is far short of her goal of $2,500-$3,000, which is the estimated cost of a tub. She had plans to hold several fundraisers this year, including a car wash, walking dogs, lemonade stand, yard sale and selling popcorn. But she had to put those plans on hold when she discovered problems with her vision and showed symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
The oldest of six children of Rob and Deanna Hoffman, Morgan had always been healthy until last spring when doctors found spots and inflammation around Morgan's optic nerve. They diagnosed optic neuritis, a condition affecting her eyesight. When she learned of the eye problem, the sixth grader at Summerfield Elementary School became "really scared," her mother said.
She has undergone numerous blood tests, none of which has determined yet what is causing her vision problems.
"She cried because her vision would sometimes go bad," Mrs. Hoffman said. "One day she came home from school saying all she could see is yellow. We took her to an eye doctor and the next morning she went to a specialist and had to go through a lot of tests, some of which were painful. She's been a trouper throughout all of this."
Another symptom they noticed was that her legs sometimes go numb and she has no feeling in them. It happens about once a month. The doctors suspect this could be an early sign of MS. She had an MRI done on her spinal cord, but the test came back normal.
"It's extremely hard to diagnose," Mrs. Hoffman said. "We're still not sure. We keep track of the symptoms. That would be rare for her age. They say she has a 50-80 percent chance of developing MS within 10 years. Nobody has had MS in our family."
The family is keeping watch of the symptoms. Morgan has her next appointment with a neurologist Dec. 20 in Ann Arbor.
"It's just a waiting game," her mother said.
Her grandfather, whom she calls Papa, and her grandmother, Brenda, live across the street from the Hoffmans. The couple have five children, 15 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Mr. Maurer, said his wife has to help him get in and out of the bathtub he uses. A walk-in tub would make it easier for him to get in and out of the shower.
"It's getting harder and harder," Mrs. Maurer said. "I'm scared to death I'll drop him. He can't do it himself. He's so weak and out of breath that he sits on the side of the tub."
Morgan said she still hopes to raise the funds next summer when the weather is better.
Mr. Maurer, a Vietnam veteran, believes some of his health issues were caused by Agent Orange when he served overseas. He said he's humbled that his grandchildren spend time with him and help him with gardening. He also is pleased that Morgan, whom he calls Gert, would go out of her way to raise money for him.
"I'm happy I've got someone who cares about me," the Ford Motor Co. worker said from his home. "It makes me love her to death."
Morgan often accompanies her grandfather when he goes to see his heart doctor and helps him with his oxygen tank. She also knows how to change the tank when needed.
"She knows more about David and how to take care of him than he does," Mrs. Maurer said. "She works with him to exercise and also encourages him to keep walking as much as he can to build up (strength) in his legs."
Morgan, an Honor Roll student, has blonde hair and brown eyes. She enjoys riding horses, raising small animals and driving two antique tractors that her grandfather keeps as a hobby and to plow the garden.
Mrs. Hoffman said she is pleased that her daughter wants to do so much for her grandfather.
"I applaud her," she said. "Not a lot of kids enjoy hanging out with their grandparents. And not many 11-year-olds would do this for their grandfather."

Yemenite Jews also eat chicken before the fast of Yom Kippur, but much earlier in the morning, at about 10:30. Their soup is dipped with the kubbanah bread.
Note: Making a children's version of hawayij is a great introduction to Middle Eastern spices. Take the children to a spice store where they can pick out the spices themselves. Hawayij is basically a combination of cumin, coriander (omit if using fresh), curry powder, ginger, black pepper, and turmeric. Add spices according to your children's tolerance for strong and unusual flavors. You can omit them altogether if you wish.
YIELD: Serves 10 to 12
Child: Store the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes in separate covered containers in the refrigerator until you need them the next day. The potatoes must be in cold water or they will turn a terrible gray color.
Adult with Child: Place the beef and chicken in a large kettle with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, until a froth forms. Remove the meat and bones and discard the water. Clean the kettle.
Child: Put the beef and bones back in the kettle and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil again. Lower the heat and add the unpeeled garlic cloves (by being left in their skins, they won't soften in cooking). Add the onions, turnip, and leeks or green onions. Cook, covered, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat seems fairly tender.
Adult: Remove the marrow bones, add the chicken, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate overnight.
Child: Bring the soup to a boil. Add the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Just before serving, add the parsley or coriander, salt, and hawayij, and cook, covered, for a few minutes.
Adult: Remove the garlic cloves. Adjust the seasonings.
Eat by dipping bread into the soup, scooping up the meat and vegetables and/or the sauce.
