Nanoscale friction: newly discovered phenomenon may be of practical significance in the field of nanotechnology
According to a December 15 news release from the University of Basel, an international team of scientists has observed a considerable energy loss brought about by frictional effects around charge density waves, and may have practical applications to controlling nanoscale friction.
The research results appear online in Nature Materials, in an article entitled, "Giant frictional dissipation peaks and charge-density-wave slips at the NbSe2 surface."
Although often viewed as an undesirable phenomenon due to its wearing effects on materials, too little friction can be a disadvantage. Therefore, a thorough understanding of frictional effects is essential, especially with respect to the field of nanotechnology.
In the recent study – conducted by researchers from the University of Basel, the University of Warwick, the CNR Institute SPIN in Genoa, and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste – researchers helped to give an enhanced understanding of how friction works in microscopic dimensions.
In the experiment led by Dr. Ernst Meyer, Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Basel, the team vibrated the nanometer-sized tip of an atomic force microscope over the surface of a layered structure of niobium and selenium atoms. The team selected this combination because of its inimitable electronic properties, and in particular, the charge-density waves formed at extremely low temperatures. The electrons are no longer evenly distributed as in a metal; rather, they form areas where the electron density alternates between a high and low range.
The researchers observed high energy losses in the surrounding area of these charge density waves between the surface and the tip of the atomic force microscope, even at moderately large distances of several atomic diameters. "The energy drop was so great, it was as if the tip had suddenly been caught in a viscous fluid," said Meyer.
The team observed this energy loss only at temperatures below -203° C, and given that charge density waves do not occur at higher temperatures, the researchers interpreted this as substantiation that frictional forces between the probe tip and charge density waves are the cause of the energy loss.
The theoretical model illustrates that the high energy loss results from a succession of local phase shifts in the charge density waves. The researchers say that this newly discovered phenomenon may be of practical significance in the field of nanotechnology, particularly as the frictional effect can be adjusted as a function of distance and voltage.

If you believe UT fans who were in San Antonio Thursday night partying along the Riverwalk, Case McCoy was one of those who bellied up to a bar to celebrate the season. UT fan @morganlozano sorta gives us a play-by-play of her crew's interaction with McCoy. We now know that McCoy and Jordan Hicks were sent home Friday by Mack Brown for breaking curfew. We also know that a 21-year-old Texas Tech woman is claiming she was sexually assaulted by a Texas football player. The police redacted the suspect's name and the name of the other person who was said to have witnessed the assault. McCoy, 22, seemed to have a pretty solid night at the bars, if you believe what was tweeted by @morganlozano. She would eventually delete this tweet, but we found a cache version via Topsy. @allison527 telling Case McCoy he needs to get his ass in bed and quit chillin at the bar. #lolz #texas Filed under: Football

(SAN ANTONIO, Texas) -- Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM), a procedure that removes the unaffected breast in patients with cancer in one breast, provides only a modest increase in life expectancy, according to a new study by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In fact, the study shows that the surgery may actually reduce the quality-adjusted life expectancy a measure of life expectancy that takes into account quality of life among women whose breast cancer is not hereditary. Since only around 10% of breast cancers are known to be caused by genetic factors, the findings of the study apply to the vast majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer who are treated with mastectomy.
The findings of the study will be reported on Wednesday, Dec. 7 at the 2011 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Using a computer-based decision analysis, researchers examined the impact of CPM on life expectancy and quality-adjusted life expectancy among groups of women with newly diagnosed unilateral breast cancer and no known genetic predisposition to the disease. Studies show that among these patients, there has been a 150 percent increase in this type of surgery in recent years.
The authors hope the findings will assist patients and physicians in making informed decisions about treatment strategies, based on a clear understanding of the actual benefits and risks involved in preventive mastectomies, and the potential for the surgery to have an adverse impact on women's quality of life.
"We suspect that many of the women who elect to undergo CPM are acting on the belief the surgery will substantially reduce their overall risk of dying of breast cancer," said senior author Robert G. Prosnitz, MD, MPH, an assistant professor of Radiation Oncology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "However, our study shows that a woman's risk of death from her primary b

YIELD: Makes about 36 salmon cakes
Pat salmon dry and with a sharp knife cut into roughly 1/3-inch cubes. In a medium bowl lightly beat egg and gently stir in salmon and remaining ingredients until just combined.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat and, working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon measures of salmon mixture about 1 inch apart into skillet. Cook cakes until undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Turn cakes over and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer cakes as cooked to a platter. Salmon cakes may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring cakes to room temperature before serving.
Garnish cakes with lime wedges and serve with dipping sauce.

The Exeter-based carrier's load factor jumped to 75.8% in the quarter to June 30, up from 66.5% a year earlier as it benefits from a turnaround drive that recently saw it post annual profits for the first time in four years.
Chief executive Saad Hammad said first quarter trading figures signalled further progress, helped by last summer's launch of 11 new routes and a major brand refresh in April when it unveiled aircraft in a new purple livery.
The airline, which serves around 35 UK airports having reduced its number of bases from 13 to seven in the last year, said passenger revenues per seat rose 9.5% in the quarter to £52.79.
This was achieved after a recent route overhaul reduced capacity by 17.2% to 2.5 million seats for the quarter to June 30. It has also cut the average fare paid per passenger in an effort to drive demand.
Mr Hammad said: "We have achieved a significant amount in the quarter, with substantially more to do in the months ahead."
Shares were 2% higher today and have risen 17% so far this year.
The group has its regional bases in Belfast, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Manchester and Southampton. It also has a white label business with Finland's Finnair, where it flies planes under the airline's livery.

Federal Grants
Federal grants are given all the time. Federal grants are given every year for just about every reason that you can imagine. Grants are given for small business start-ups, preserving historic monuments, continuing education, and art. These are not the only grants that are offered, but you get the idea. For every million grants that are applied for each year only a few hundred are actually granted. Some of them are free grants, which mean that if you receive one of them, you don't have to pay for it. Other grants are more like loans and require repayment with interest. Government and corporations are required by law to distribute Billions of dollars to people every year. Those who know what programs are available are the ones that will receive the money. It is a time when you can get the money you have invested into the government back tax-free. You can apply for any of the available grants that start at: $14,000 to start a home-based business or $2 million dollars to build a new low-income apartment complex. You can apply to one program or apply to as many different programs you would like, including the following: grants to write a novel, grants to go back to school etc. For just about any thing that you could need, there is a grant for it. Federal grants and government grants are funded in one of two ways: the money comes from the taxes we pay as well as from private foundations that must give five percent of their assets to maintain their tax-exempt status. If you are a US citizen, and are 18 years or older, you have a right to many of these federal grants. Government grants don't require credit checks or collateral to receive and they don't ever have to be paid back.

Finest Known, Exceedingly Rare 1881 Twenty Dollar Coin1881 $20 MS61 PCGS. Only 2,220 circulation strike 1881 double eagles were produced. Approximately 25-35 pieces are known today with most of these grading XF40 to AU50. In the middle to higher AU grades, the 1881 is extremely rare and the only pieces to have been encapsulated as Uncirculated (as of March 2004) are the PCGS MS60 that we auctioned for $29,235 in our 1997 ANA Sale and this specimen, the finest known to either service.
Recent sales records include an example cataloged as "Brilliant Uncirculated" in the October 2001 Dallas Bank Collection Sale which brought $21,850, a PCGS AU50 that realized $14,950 in our February 2001 Long Beach Sale, and a PCGS AU55 that garnered $14,950 in the October 1999 Bass II Sale. Considering the unquestioned rarity of this issue (and the great popularity of this series), it remains extremely undervalued in our opinion.
The surfaces of this piece are unquestionably original with a bit of the "dirty gold" appearance seen on so many Double Eagles from this era. Probably struck from a later state of the dies, there is little evidence of the original prooflike finish in the fields--a trait seen on all Twenties of this issue to one degree or another. Well struck, numerous small and medium sized contact marks litter the surfaces, these being the grade-limiting factors. A very special opportunity for the advanced U.S. gold enthusiast.

30 year old man | Gilbert, AZ, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 50 miles of Austin, TX
Active within 3 days
Can't believe It's come to this..
I am an individual who enjoys staying active and doing things at all times. I need someone who is outgoing, always up for a good time and is not afraid to challenge me. I enjoy a nice ride on the weekends and working out on a regular basis. Someone who has a good sense of humor is a huge turn on. I weigh heavily on a women's personality but physical attraction plays a pivotal role in the first impression. I am open to trying anything a first time and make it a point to improve myself daily in some aspect of life whether it be socially, financially, physically, or mentally. I love country music and appreciate a female that does as well. I must say I never thought this day would come and I would join an online dating website but I'm incredibly picky and with my intense work schedule combined with military obligations, I have very little time for social events and have given up on meeting a respectable girl at the bar. Family is incredibly important to me and someone who has a close relationship with their family is essential. I am very much a traditionalist and believe in treating women the way they should be treated. I was extremely fortunate to be raised by a family who taught me strong family values and to those females out there who believe chivalry no longer exists, they just haven't found the right guy yet!

I have a profound love for country music as I appreciate the message it transcends to it's listeners as well as the people it attracts.
Doing anything competitive and live music. I go to two or three country concerts a month, play in Austin Sports and Social, run, hike, rock climb, sand volleyball (strictly two's), football, soccer, really pretty much everything.
I am in sales and am not a big fictional reader and instead prefer to read something I can instantly gain something from. Most recently read "Rainmaker".

Wednesday, April 8, marks the ASPCA's second annual National Dog Fighting Awareness Day (NDFAD), and this year we are working harder than ever to spread awareness about this brutal form of animal cruelty. Read on to see how ASPCA staffers and supporters are lending their voice to this important cause, and find out how you can get involved, too!
At the ASPCA offices in New York City, staff members vowed to "Get Tough" on dog fighting by posing for photos with pit bulls and sharing them on social media using the hashtag #GetTough.
Gracie is available for adoption at the ASPCA
Misty, right, was a former bait dog used in dog fighting. Today, she is a beloved family pet.
Professional wrestler AJ Lee joined in the action by opening up about the five fighting dogs her family rescued over the years. She also participated in our #GetTough campaign—and thousands of people shared her tweets to help spread the word.
Luckily, you don't have to be an ASPCA staffer or a professional wrestler to take part in National Dog Fighting Awareness Day. Here are three ways you can support NDFAD:
- Get Tough. To join our #GetTough movement, simply take a selfie with one of our free, downloadable #GetTough posters and sharables, then post it to social media using the hashtag #GetTough.
- Take Action. Sign our petition to tell the Department of Justice (DoJ) that you want to see more federal dog fighting prosecutions.
- Donate. Support our work to defeat dog fighting by making a gift to the ASPCA today.
Animals around the country are counting on your compassion, your outrage and your willingness to stop their suffering. By taking one (or more!) of the actions listed above, you'll be joining a growing group of animal-lovers who are dedicated to putting an end to this nightmare. Thank you for your voice!
The last Tuesday of every February is World Spay Day. To celebrate this day—and highlight the life-saving importance of spay/neuter services—we checked in with some of the ASPCA's own Spay/Neuter Advocates who are on the ground every day making a difference in the lives of animals and their families.
On a recent, frigid January morning in East Harlem, ASPCA community advocates Selena Edwards and Arturo Arana visited Theresa J. to check on her eight-month-old pit bull, Coco, who had been spayed two weeks before.
Selena and Arturo first met Theresa and Coco last September. They offered a free ID tag for Coco, whom Theresa had adopted from a friend. Theresa considered letting Coco have "just one litter," but decided to have her spayed after being encouraged by Selena and Arturo.
Coco is one of thousands of owned dogs and cats who live in high poverty areas with limited access to veterinary care and or other pet resources, and where pets are most at risk of neglect, cruelty, relinquishment to shelters, and euthanasia.
But with focused initiatives, the ASPCA is concentrating its attention on pets—like Coco—most at risk.
ASPCA CARES (Community, Advocacy, Resources, Enrichment, and Service) employs advocates who visit communities one city block at a time to ensure every resident or family on that block has the opportunity to take advantage of the ASPCA's free and low-cost services.
Their dedication pays off. In 2014, the ASPCA provided 3,782 spay/neuter surgeries in New York and 3,359 in Los Angeles. These numbers comprise 16 percent of the ASPCA's 2014 total of 42,584 spay/neuter surgeries, more than ever before in a single year in the organization's 148-year history.*
Christopher Keith and Desire Menendez, community advocates who canvas the Claremont Village area of the Bronx, go door-to-door in the Morris Houses, a public housing complex comprising several blocks. Across the country, community advocate Elizabeth Gamboa knocks on doors in South L.A. Like her counterparts in NYC, Elizabeth offers free ID tags in addition to information on spay/neuter services, and the many benefits they provide
"Our community advocates engage residents in a very grassroots way—knocking on doors and introducing themselves," says Jocelyn Kessler, Director of Operations for the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Operations team. "They build trust with residents to improve the quality of lives for both the animals and the people who care for them."
ASPCA advocates Lisa DeLarios and Isadora Peraza-Martinez regularly visit neighborhoods in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. "We meet a lot of pets that are related and that helps spread the word," says Isadora. "In one building, all of the cats were from the same source—they were all 'Bubbles' babies," said Lisa.
Lisa and Isadora convinced Bubbles' owner to have her spayed, and even transported the black and white tuxedo cat to the ASPCA on January 14 for pre-surgery blood work. They are now targeting other cats and dogs in the building.
Margie O., a client in the Bronx, welcomes Chris and Desire each time they visit with home-made corn cakes. Although Margie has undergone two open-heart surgeries and is raising her five-year-old granddaughter, she made sure all of her dogs were altered with the ASPCA's help.
As Chris says, "If that doesn't motivate you, what does?"

*The ASPCA provided 16,602 surgeries to NYC residents within the targeted areas via its mobile spay/neuter clinics, which have been providing free and low-cost spay/neuter since 1997. Two stationary clinics in New York—at 92nd Street in Manhattan and in Glendale, Queens—serve the rescue community, ASPCA Adoption Center, Animal Care & Control of NYC, Community Intervention Advocacy (CIA) clients, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs—and have doubled their capacity, with 18,840 surgeries last year. The ASPCA also provided 225 grants totaling over $3.7 million dollars to other organizations nationwide for spay/neuter.
More than 120 cats and dogs braved chilly temperatures for free vaccines and microchips during a "Community Pet Party" hosted by the ASPCA and the NYPD's 49th Precinct on Saturday, November 15 at Bronx Park East in the Bronx, New York.
Longtime Bronx resident Ceferino Miranda was one of the first in line with his Westie, Chiquita, one of three dogs he brought. He found Chiquita in the streets and now cares for five dogs. "I was going to get all their vaccines earlier this month," said the Vietnam veteran, "but I fell short."
Pets also received free ID tags, ASPCA fleece blankets, and Halo pet food provided by Freekibble. Some residents also received dog houses.
"For many animal owners, getting basic resources for their pets can be difficult, so we want to do all we can to help, especially as winter approaches," said Colleen Doherty, manager of the ASPCA's Cruelty Intervention Advocacy team, which staffed and promoted the event. New York City's Office of Emergency Management gave out free flashlights and information on including pets in emergency preparedness plans.
Detective Victor DiPierro of the 49th Precinct said he was glad to see people "taking advantage of these free services."
One of them, Althea Hall, sat with Dynasty, a nine-year-old Rottweiler with a glistening coat. "She used to be my daughter's," said Althea, explaining how she once cared for Dynasty and got attached. "She's mine now, and I want to do right by her."
Nearby, Shadow, a five-year-old black cat, poked her head through the top of her carrier, blinking and soaking in the fall sunshine, before hunkering back down. When it was time for her vaccines, siblings Starlyza and Ricco Medina carried Shadow into the ASPCA vehicle designated for cats.
Earlier this year, the ASPCA announced the full citywide rollout of its strategic and pioneering collaboration with the NYPD to provide enhanced protection to New York City's animals. The partnership has been extremely successful, with arrests and rescues increasing well over 100 percent compared to the same period last year.
Thanks to the NYPD and the ASPCA, these Bronx residents – both two-legged and four-legged – clearly got protected and served.
For the seventh year in a row, the ASPCA has been selected to participate in the Subaru "Share the Love" event, which kicks off today, November 20, and runs through January 2, 2015. For every new vehicle sold or leased between November 20, 2014 and January 2, 2015, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser's choice among four national charity partners or local Hometown Charity selected by participating retailers, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $250,000 to each national charity.
Since 2008, Subaru has donated more than $9 million to the ASPCA through this event, thanks to all the Subaru customers and ASPCA supporters, like you, who chose the ASPCA when they purchased or leased a new vehicle. Now, you have the chance to support and spread the word for us once again this year!
Plus, as part of our participation in "Share the Love," we match Subaru retailers with local animal welfare agencies around the country to host events at retail stores. These events include pet adoptions, collection drives, pet pictures with Santa and other fun activities. You can help "Share the Love" by adopting a dog or cat at one of the many events taking place this weekend.
Please help us spread the word about the ASPCA's participation in the annual Subaru "Share the Love" event! Bring a friend along to an adoption event near you, tweet a photo of you and your pet using the hashtag #aspcaSTL, and be sure to tag @aspca and @Subaru_usa.

Are you interested in learning more about key animal-protection issues? Want to find out how you can do more to help the animals in your area? If so, please join me and my fellow ASPCA experts for our free December Webinar Series, where we will discuss several important areas of animal legislation, what has been accomplished, and what work still needs to be done!
Cost of Care Legislation: Empowering Rescue Agencies and Getting Animals Out of Limbo
Wednesday, December 10
6:30 P.M. ET (1 hour)
Presenters: Debora Bresch, Senior State Legislative Director, Mid-Atlantic Region; Chloe Waterman, Senior Manager, State Legislative Strategy
One of the largest obstacles facing abused animals today is that it costs so much to care for them while cruelty charges are pursued following their rescue. Law enforcement may be reluctant to assume this burden, and local shelters with limited resources may be forced to. Animal victims can remain in shelters for months—or even years—as their cruelty cases wind through the court system. Through this Cost of Care Legislation webinar, you'll learn how the ASPCA is addressing these problems through the legislative process so that abused animals can be rescued but not left in legal limbo, and shelters can afford to serve other animals in need.
Puppy Mill Laws: How YOU Can Make a Difference for Dogs
Wednesday, December 17
3:00 P.M. ET (1 hour)
Presenters: Bill Ketzer, Senior State Legislative Director, Northeast Region; Cori Menkin, Senior Director, Puppy Mills Campaign
Dogs in puppy mills spend their entire lives housed in tiny cages, often stacked on top of each other, forced to produce countless puppies all for the sake of a dollar. The ASPCA is working to guard animals against this despicable industry, but we can't do it without you! By attending this Puppy Mill Laws webinar, you'll learn the ins and outs of the federal, state and local laws that help crack down on puppy mills, including all the new and innovative approaches that advocates are using to address this horrific problem.
Federal Legislation Wrap-Up: Looking Back at the 113th Congress and Its Impact on Animals
Thursday, December 18
6:30 P.M. ET (1 hour)
Presenters: Andrew Binovi, Federal Legislative Manager; Carolyn Schnurr, Federal Legislative Manager
The ASPCA works with Congress—100 U.S. Senators and 435 U.S. Representatives—to provide stronger legal protections for animals across the country. But before the 114th Congress convenes in January 2015, let's review what the 113th Congress did to help animals! In this Federal Legislation Wrap-Up webinar, the ASPCA's federal lobbyists will discuss what animal-related initiatives have been considered by Congress over the past two years and which bills we should expect to see next year!
Registration for December's Animal Legislation Webinar series is now closed. Couldn't make it? Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to stay up-to-date on fun and informational events.

It's Halloween soon and you might be thinking of taking your little one out trick or treating… so here are some top tips to make it fun and not frightening!
Scarily good tips for a spook-tacular Halloween
- The right costume – cute though it might be to dress your little one as a mummy (the Egyptian kind, not you!), think about getting them out of it quickly if they need the potty or the loo! Also, it's October so make sure you can pop a top underneath in case it gets too chilly. And don't forget comfy shoes (for you as well as them!)
- Time it right – you don't have to wait until nighttime to go trick or treating. Around 4pm is good as it's getting dark but still too early for the bigger kids (and their scarier costumes) to be out and about. Plus you'll all be back home before bathtime.
- Keep it short – toddlers get tired quickly so bank on visiting just a few houses to give your little one a taste of the Halloween experience without overwhelming him. It might be a good idea to bring your buggy with you, just in case it all gets too much!
- Limit the sweets – make sure you only go out once your child has been fed, so they don't want to snack on the sweets and chocolate they get. Once you get home, have fun counting all the goodies then let them have one or two and put the rest away for another time.
- Stay safe – only visit houses where you know you'll be welcome (many areas have a system where if there's a lit pumpkin outside the house, this means they'd love you to knock, while no pumpkin means please don't bother us). The best bet at this age is to just visit your friends and close neighbours so your toddler recognises them when they open the door – much more fun!
- And finally – nothing beats talking to your child about what to expect on Halloween. Explain that when they're out and about they might hear some loud noises or people who pop out and say 'Boo!'. Tell them that may also see some people in scary masks but they are just masks, and that this is all just fun and nothing at all to worry about. Reassure them that you'll be with them at all times and that they can come home any time they want. Happy Halloween!

The Olympus Evolt E-410 SLR Digital Camera combines the versatility, performance, and image quality of a professional SLR, with the simplicity, compact size and ease-of-use of a consumer point-and-shoot digital camera. The high resolution 10-megapixel Live-MOS image sensor captures exquisite detail, and provides you with the flexibility to crop your images and still produce large, detailed prints.
The Professional quality Zuiko lenses that Olympus has developed for the Evolt SLR Cameras are designed to work perfectly with all of the camera's digital technology so that your pictures will have exceptional color and clarity. A broad selection of lenses is available. The camera also solves the dust problem commonly found with SLR Cameras by providing a proven anti-dust system so your pictures will be spotless - every time.
Thirty advanced exposure modes are available in the Evolt E-410 including program, aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual control. Furthermore, you'll get a great shot in any lighting situation with five metering modes including the 49-point ESP Meter. Even with all of this power, the Evolt E-410 is incredibly easy to use. The ergonomic, and lightweight design of the camera body means that the camera will be comfortable to hold even after a long day of sightseeing. The E-410 makes it easy to shoot like a pro with 20 intuitive Scene Select Modes like Fireworks, Night Scene, Portraits and even underwater modes.
The 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD enables images to be beautifully displayed in vivid color, even from 176-degree viewing angles or in bright sunlight. The Live-View feature provides users with the choice of framing images with the viewfinder or on the LCD Display. This makes it simple to preview and review your images.
- 10.0 Megapixel Resolution
- The Olympus E-410 incorporates a 10-megapixel Live-MOS imaging sensor that provides professional quality image resolution and lower noise than other image sensors.
- Professional Quality Zuiko-Digital Lens

Furthermore, there is a large selection of Zuiko lenses available ranging from extremely wide angle to high zoom telephoto lenses as well as specialty lenses, and all Zuiko Digital lenses are compatible with all Olympus E-System digital SLR cameras.
- Anti-Dust System
- The proven anti-dust system ensures that you'll get spotless pictures - every time. Every time you turn on the E-410, the Supersonic Wave Filter - located between the shutter and the image sensor - silently vibrates an amazing 35,000 times per second, so dust is flung away and collected so it can't come back. As a result, you can change lenses anywhere without worrying about dust.
- Compact and Comfortable Design
- The lightweight and compact body of the E-410 is ergonomically designed for superior comfort so it's a pleasure to carry and use for hours at a time.
- TruePic III Image Processor
- The TruePic III Image Processor provides fast camera operation and processing speed for more responsive camera operation. Along with the speed advantages, TruePic III also produces crystal clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to provide you with brilliantly clear and bright photos with accurate skin tones.
- Versatile Color Modes
- The Evolt E-410 is compatible with sRGB or Adobe RGB color spaces, and you can fine-tune your photo's colors with five modes (Vivid, Natural, Muted, Monotone, Sepia), or shoot in black and white using five monochrome modes. Altogether, the advanced color modes of the E-410 let you be as creative as your imagination allows.
- 30 Advanced Exposure Modes
- Exercise tight control over your photos with 30 advanced exposure modes including program, aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual control. In addition, you'll get a great shot in any lighting situation with five metering modes including the exclusive 49-point ESP Meter.
- 20 Easy-to-use Scene Modes
- The Evolt E-410 makes it easy to shoot like a pro with 20 easy-to-use Scene Select Modes covering practically every common shooting scenario including Portrait, Fireworks, Sports, Landscape, Sunset, Underwater and many more. Simply select the right mode for your shot, and the E-410 takes care of the rest.
- Built-in and External Flash

By Bertram de Souza (Contact)
Published July 2, 2011
There's a Volkswagen commercial that features a young boy whacking away at a piñata shaped like an SUV, but no matter how hard the boy hits it, the piñata remains intact. Mahoning County Democratic Party Chairman David Betras is the boy, and Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber CEO Tom Humphries is the piñata.
No matter how many times Betras demands Humphries' resignation, the chamber head remains firmly in place. Indeed, every time the Democratic chairman takes a swing at his arch enemy, influential members of the organization — most happen to be Republicans — tell Humphries to hang tough because he has their support.
On Friday, Betras issued another one of his press releases demanding the CEO's resignation, and this time there wasn't even a response from Humphries. Indeed, the verbal attacks lend themselves to an intriguing game: Count the number of times Betras has demanded Humphries' resignation, and the number of times he has been ignored.
Perhaps the chairman thinks that if he keeps pressing the issue, Humphries will get so tired that he will simply quit. Fat chance. At some point, even the press is going to figure out that Betras' attacks are nothing more than a publicity stunt — and will stop taking them seriously.
"At some point, even the press is going to figure out that Betras' attacks are nothing more than a publicity stunt — and will stop taking them seriously."
Obviously, you haven't reached that point yet.
Which one is the most arrogant?
FACT: Chamber membership is UP since this whole controversy has started. Yes a handful of businesses left the chamber in recent months, but the membership is actually up slightly since this has happened.
When Betras actually does something to bring jobs to the area, ends welfare abuse, and supports struggling local government's effort to control their costs, then he is doing something. But in the meantime he just blows hot air and likes to listen to himself.
Betras needs to dislodge himself. Someone decent please run for party chair and quit letting the valley be the laughingstock of America
Who knows what his motivation is but you have to ask yourself, who does that?
Its politics. Come on in--the waters fine.
Give Dave some respect !
Humphries has taken a non-political entity into a political arena using public funds. He is also acting on behalf of its members. It's time for ALL chamber members to own up to being members and to either come out and support its president publicly or to get out of the way.
Actually, they aren't absurd. If you're going to receive federal monies directly, then you should not be partisan. There is also NO PROOF that SB5 will be good for business. I've personally heard business owners speak about how SB5 will be detrimental to their businesses.
If the rest of the US is in debt, including state that are Right to Work where unions don't exist or are extremely minimal, then that tells me the problem isn't the public employees, but mismanagement at the top.
It also tells me that businesses have a stranglehold on our economy. If they are going to have the same rights as an individual, it's time they abide by the same laws as the rest of us and time they pony up their tax money instead of seeking abatements and loopholes.
They public employees are currently manageable. All of them work under negotiated contracts, where both sides have a voice. Silencing one of those voices is simply stripping workers everywhere of rights.
Has anyone ever heard Betras on the radio with verb? he is arragant and down right rude to most callers. he seems to be bothered by the caller stupidity(in his mind). Ron has to actually listen to the callers and translate to Betras what the question is most of the time,. It sems he is to busy or disinterested to listen to the questions himself. reminds me of another idiot local lawyer/politico---Marc Dann.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 03, 2014
How much teachers are paid really depends on the salaries' worth after they are adjusted for cost of living, and many of those paid the most wind up at the bottom of the adjusted pay scale, according to a new study from the National Center for Policy Analysis and the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy.
The study compares actual elementary teacher pay values among 60 metropolitan areas across the country. Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Grand Rapids, Michigan and Columbus, Ohio are at the top. Honolulu, New York City and San Francisco rank the lowest in salary when adjusted for cost of living.
"For those considering moving to another area for higher teacher pay, the grass is not always greener," said NCPA Senior Fellow Pamela Villarreal. "An increase in salary could be eaten up by higher overall living costs."
With a median salary of $74,540, Milwaukee's elementary teachers receive the highest salaries of the major metropolitan areas examined. When adjusted for cost of living, the median salary drops slightly to $73,078, but still ranks at the top. But other high median salaries are not that impressive when adjusted for the area cost of living. For instance:
Teachers in some cities enjoy much better circumstances. Indeed, in nine metropolitan areas the cost of living adjustment takes teacher's salaries from at or below the national median of $53,950 to well above it.
The study also examines National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) test scores in 19 metro areas to determine if students performed at a higher level when teachers were paid more.
"As with any government program, it is important for taxpayers to know the value they receive for every tax dollar spent. Wisconsin taxpayers pay elementary teachers in Milwaukee one of the highest salaries in the country, but academic performance is one of the lowest," said MacIver Institute President Brett Healy. "We face many challenges in Milwaukee. This report clearly demonstrates we cannot blame low teacher pay for poor academic results. Everyone involved – our children, parents, teachers and administrators – must do better."

SCHROONLAKE-Fundraising for the annual Schroon Lake Independence Day celebration is under way.
Kate Huston, event chairwoman, said money is needed to secure bands for the community July 4th parade and to plan other activities.
"I am, once again, asking for early donations to help get the parade started again this year," Huston said. "I am definitely in better shape starting out this year than I was last year, but I still need donations to come in early so we can secure the bands and other activities that we put on each year."
Huston said people were very generous in their support last year. She said donations came from local residents as well as summer residents living as far away as California.
"Everyone was so wonderful last year and the money just started coming in," Huston said. "It enabled me, with the help of many other people, to put on the great parade we had."
Donations for the 2011 July 4th celebration can be mailed to mailed to Box 614, Schroon Lake, NY 12870. Checks should be made payable to the 4th of July Fund. For more information contact Huston at 532-9745 or firstname.lastname@example.com
"Any amount you can afford in this slow economy would be greatly appreciated," Huston said.
Plans for the annual parade are already taking shape.
"We are also looking for (parade) participants," Huston said. "It is very helpful if you can get your entries in early and please remember to write a bio on your group or whatever you enter. Letters will be going out in the next couple of weeks that will have an entry form attached."
The town's Independence Day celebration typically begins with The Schroon Lake Community Church's annual chicken barbecue, rain or shine. The church is located on the corner of Main Street and Leland Avenue.

Frank Herbert: Dune First Edition. (Philadelphia: Chilton Books, 1965), first edition, first printing, 412 pages, baby blue boards with white lettering on spine, 8vo (6" x 9.25"), first edition dust jacket (in protective Mylar). Herbert's ecology-conscious interstellar opus has sold over ten million copies since 1965, establishing it as the best-selling science fiction novel ever published, and spawning a vast number of sequels. The story of Paul Atreides and his family's political struggles on planet Arrakis was the joint winner of the 1966 Hugo Award and the winner of the first Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1965. A 1975 poll of Locus magazine readers chose Dune as the "all-time best science-fiction novel". And Dune's influence on popular culture can be seen in a number of subsequent works, such as Star Trek, Star Wars, The Matrix films, and Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, among many others. This copy of the first printing of the first edition of Dune comes housed in a gorgeous Heritage Bindery banded quarter leather slipcase with blue marbled boards. The book itself is in fine condition, with only minimal wear to the edges of the dust jacket. The binding is tight; the text block is very clean, and does not appear to have ever been read! A rare opportunity to obtain a pristine copy of Herbert's masterpiece in its very first published form. From the Ventura Collection.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Romantic, Classic, Traditional
What are you most proud of? I am proud that I was able to show this gown at the Crochet Guild of America Annual Conference and the feedback I received from the celebrity crochet designers and the audience was overwhelming and fantastic.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I would say... give yourself enough time to complete a large project like this. I underestimated the amount of time this would require and I had to complete this project in 3 weeks. There were times I thought I was not going to make in time for the fashion show, but luckily I did.
This is amazingly beautiful
I love this project. Is there a pattern available?
Where can I find this pattern? I really would love to make this dress for when I get married, it's just perfect for what I want!
OH MY!!! I love it!
Is there a pattern for this beautiful dress? If so please let us know. Thanks for sharing your lovely work with us.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/17/12
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can't help but think about the New York Giants going from 7-7 to a Super Bowl title last season. Maybe Jones was a little giddy after the Cowboys beat Pittsburgh 27-24 in overtime Sunday for their third straight win. Dallas is tied for first in the NFC East after winning three straight games and five of six. For the first time in weeks, the Cowboys (8-6) don't need help to reach the playoffs. They're in if they beat New Orleans on Sunday at home and win the finale at Washington. Jones says it isn't ''unrealistic'' for the Cowboys to mimic the Giants, who beat Dallas in the final week last season with a playoff berth on the line.

Contrary to What stupid Republicans Think… A completely different U.S. foreign policy may not be the answer.
As expected, initial reports were met with cries of "stupid!"
"stupid Germans," Lippman purportedly told wary hedge-fund investors, despite the fact that he worked at a Deutsche Bank.
1540s, "mentally slow," from Middle French stupide, from Latin stupidus "amazed, confounded," literally "struck senseless," from stupere "be stunned, amazed, confounded," from PIE *(s)tupe- "hit," from root *(s)teu- (see steep (adj.)).
Native words for this idea include negative compounds with words for "wise" (cf. Old English unwis, unsnotor, ungleaw), also dol (see dull), and dysig (see dizzy). Stupid retained its association with stupor and its overtones of "stunned by surprise, grief, etc." into mid-18c. The difference between stupid and the less opprobrious foolish roughly parallels that of German töricht vs. dumm but does not exist in most European languages.
