Brendan Rodgers has stressed his belief that improving players is a key element of his role as manager – and pointed to Stewart Downing, Jose Enrique and Jordan Henderson as perfect examples.
The trio, all signed in the summer of 2011, found first-team opportunities scarce at the beginning of the campaign but have worked their way into contention with each passing week.
And the Northern Irishman expressed confidence that his squad can learn and improve under his guidance at Anfield, work that has already yielded fruit during his opening months.
He said: "I will be able to improve players - that is my work and I have confidence in that. If I look at the first six months, I believe there has been improvement in a lot of the players.
"I will be able to rinse everything that I possibly can out of them, but the bottom line is about talent. If you don't initially have that then it can be difficult.
"That is also why I was brought in here, because we will get talents and we will try to maximise what we can out of players.
"You look at Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing and Jose Enrique since the start of the season and we have added value back to them. Absolutely.
"That is the job of the manager and the coach, as well as winning games. My job is to improve players in every aspect of their game.
"You have to work with the players you have and I have done that throughout my life.
"I will always push to get the best possible squad we can here but the most important thing at the minute is putting in place the philosophy and model that will allow us to improve players."

Keep in mind your child's "best" and "worst" times of day when planning your departure. A flight at six thirty
in the morning may work well for you, but not so well for kids who tend to be cranky that early. Likewise, a late-night flight
may find your kids either sleeping peacefully or wide awake.
When you're carrying luggage through crowded airports, make sure you have at least
one free hand to hold onto a small child. If you're a parent, bring bags with shoulder straps and pack a backpack for your
Note: Photo ID is required for all passengers age 18 and older. Children under age 18 are not required to have a photo ID.
What to bring
Don't forget your child's safety when flying. The FAA recommends that a child weighing:

Tips for Traveling with Babies
When scheduling a day's activities with an infant, try to stick to your baby's normal schedule for
naps, feedings, and alert times. And if you're flying cross-country, keep in mind the time difference.
As a precaution against ear problems during take-off, time your infant's feeding with boarding the airplane. If your baby won't nurse or take
a bottle, it might be a good idea to have a pacifier on hand.
When landing, begin to feed your baby liquid when you see the flight attendants checking passengers' seat belts in preparation for landing. The swallowing will help to equalize the pressure in the ears during descent.
Flying While Pregnant
Each airline has its own guidelines about flying while pregnant. You should always contact your airline before purchasing your tickets to determine what its rules are for flying during your pregnancy. In general, it is recommended that you work with your doctor to determine whether or not it is safe for you to fly during your pregnancy. If he/she feels that it is safe for you to fly, request a letter stating this to show to the airline.
Remember, drugs normally taken for motion sickness may not be appropriate for a pregnant woman to take. NEVER take any medication while you are
pregnant without consulting your doctor first!
You may want to bring some clear pop or ginger ale and bland crackers with you to help ward off nausea during the flight.
Flying Solo
Flying on his or her own can be an exciting experience for a child--and a nerve-wracking one for a parent. Here
are some tips to help ease your anxiety.
It's natural for you to worry about your child traveling alone. Just remember that your child is never really alone; the airline will assign someone
to watch over him or her. Also, remember that airline rules vary, but age restrictions often apply to small children. Here are some general guidelines:
Children ages 1-4 may fly only when accompanied by a caretaker who is at least 12 years old. A child must be at least 5 years old to fly alone.
Children 5-8 years old may take a direct flight to a single destination but not connecting flights.
Children over 8 may take connecting flights. If they're 8 to 11, they will be escorted by airline personnel to their connecting flight. A significant
extra service charge for this is likely. Older kids -- ages 12 through 15 -- may request assistance, but are not required to do so. Please note
that these are general guidelines. Some airlines may have more strict requirements. You should contact your specific airline if you have any
Anyone under age 17 who is flying alone on an international flight must have a signed note from a parent or responsible adult giving permission, destination, and length of stay.

Why I Almost Gave Away My Super Bowl Ticket
By Neil Thanedar
Last weekend, I was provided the amazing opportunity to visit Indianapolis and attend the Super Bowl with Startup America CEO Scott Case.
The announced perks were a free ticket to the Super Bowl, networking meetings with Fortune 500 CEOs, and a host of events with the political and business leaders of Indiana. But the highlights of my trip were almost always the spontaneous opportunities.
Scott had cautioned me to take full advantage of all that would be presented to me, both on and off the clock. He told me that this weekend could either be an amazing chance for me to grow as a startup founder, or just a fun weekend vacation. From then on, I made it my mission to learn as much as I could from Scott and my upcoming experiences.
On Friday, in true entrepreneur fashion, we were encouraged to 'hack' a VIP event with a closed wait list (Thanks @LarryChiang, @NTippmann). And 30 minutes later, I found my way to Mark Cuban's table. I was thrilled to get a minute to pitch Avomeen to one of my business idols. But when I finished my quick pitch, Mark asked me question after question, and we ended up debating Avomeen's business model for at least 20 minutes. His message could be summed by that famous line from The Social Network. My job for the rest of the weekend was to find a higher target for Avomeen.
As a young entrepreneur with a small, but successful startup, it's easy to get caught up in early success and get complacent. But to billionaires like Cuban and Case, I'm still orders of magnitude away from their success, and they weren't scared to challenge me and help keep me eyes on a higher goal.
From there, I soaked up every minute of mentorship from Scott Case. He found what business skills I most needed to improve, and worked hard to push me out of my comfort zone with my network development and sales pitch. I pitched Avomeen to everyone from student entrepreneurs to NFL cheerleaders (a story for another time).
After hours of challenges from Scott, a new business model hit me in a flash on Sunday. For the next few hours, I got as much as I could on paper, and have been working overtime ever since. In between, Scott Case and James Burnes, founder of Indianapolis startup Patent Status and the other Startup America Super Bowl winner, managed to pry me away long enough to attend an amazing Super Bowl game, courtesy of Startup America.
When I look back on this weekend, it is unlikely I'll remember any of the specific plays in the Super Bowl, but I will remember the pitches, passion, and that 'Eureka' moment that I experienced behind the scenes in Indianapolis. I'm a better entrepreneur than I was last week, and I've got Startup America to thank for that.
Neil Thanedar, 23, is Founder and President of Avomeen Analytical Services, a Scientific R&D Laboratory that uses advanced chemical and forensic tools develop new products and solve manufacturing challenges. Avomeen grew to over 10 employees and $1M/year revenues in its first year and earned Neil the title Generation Next Entrepreneur To Watchby CNNMoney.

Will we see Daylight Again?الزيارات: 22685
Fareeda Berfin Jadwat - Guhertin
Will we witness daylight again?
Dry crusted chocolate nakedness, aerobatic curls, tightly bound
calico fibres melted, shrivelled against skin
Stillness to a touch we remain
Oceanic depths, mother earth's protection nestled
between our smoked calloused hands, feet
Creating an imaginary cocooned protective layer
barbaric discordance cacophony echoes …
The unthinkable above "Dunya"
Olympian courage prevails, care observed
tick tock.. tick tock..
Day becomes night, night remains night
starless gazes, odour of fear circulated in a capsule,
Our temporary sanctuary
Worn, weary sleep deprivation highlighted
slipping in and out of consciousness
discomfort growing intensely,
wide red teary eyes plastered in the darkness
swollen fear inhaled.
Smiles evaporated, blankness beams.
Ear shattering unwelcome thunders
earthquake like explosions erupted in an almost continuous basis.
Shifting us voluntarily, blasts shock the earth bound,
heart pulsating cavity.
Transformative red clay fairy dust
sprinkles the hunched fearful warmed bodies
Columbarium thoughts, spinning on axis.
Ahmet Kaya melodies injected in veins
Carry his name across my lips "always"
Stillness returned
perhaps danger has passed!!
Will we witness Daylight Again?
Oh my beloved awaits in safety in distant lands
Will we witness daylight Again?

Talk Story About Hawaiiana
I just found a great blog I hadn't seen before. At least, I think it's great — it's in Japanese. It's called Talk Story About Hawaiiana, and even though I can't read it, I'm loving looking through the posts. From what I can gather, if you like Humu Kon Tiki, you'll like Talk Story — especially if you know the language. It looks like an interesting perspective: Here in the U.S., imagery of Japan sometimes gets lumped in with Tiki stuff, under the banner of Exotica (especially in Exotica music). At Talk Story, some American imagery is lumped in with Tiki stuff, probably for similar reasons: it's Exotic. The blog has some really interesting things posted on it, some collectibles I haven't seen before. I've tried running the site through the Babel Fish translator, and while it doesn't really make it readable, I can kinda sorta make out that it seems to be very thoughtfully written. I would love to hear from someone who can read the site — any Japanese-reading Humu Kon Tiki readers out there who can share their thoughts?

Product Review: Pamela's Amazing Wheat-Free Bread Mix
Posted By Alison On Jul 18, 2007 @ In Products | No Comments
Product description:
Amazing Wheat-Free Bread Mix by Pamela's Products:
Pamela's has been in the wheat-free/gluten-free business a long time and it shows. With this bread mix, all one has to do is put all the ingredients together in a mixer, let the dough rise and then bake. This bread mix is a staple in my house for 3 reasons: 1) it is the easiest bread mix to make (it literally takes me a total of 7 minutes from opening of package to putting in pan), 2) there is an egg-free version recipe on the bag (turns out great!), and 3) the bread is soft and has flavor (unlike some other gluten-free breads), if a little bit on the sweet side.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned chef, this bread mix will reward you with a delicious freshly-baked loaf that can be used for sandwiches, toast, french toast, croutons or stuffing. If you want to get creative, follow one of the recipes on the package for cheese bread, herb bread, cinnamon bread, pizza crust or pie crust, or try one of the recipes on Pamela's website.
What I like:
What I don't like:
Where to buy:
If you can't find it in your area, I suggest buying a Pack of 6 from Amazon. It works out to be from $3.83 to $5.00 per package, depending on the current sale price. Or you can buy a single bag if you just want to try it out.

An announcement made Wednesday by Wellmont Health Systems regarding the status of the board of directors' search to explore merger options answers some questions, but leaves others without reply.
In an emailed news release, the regional hospital and clinic owner announced the field of potential partners had been narrowed from six to three, and said the board would soon begin a dialogue with the communities served by its hospitals and their doctors and other employees hoping to gauge the support for any proposed partnership.
The release states the three remaining nonprofit health organizations include "a regional system and two significant health systems beyond the region," but does not identify the entities.
In an interview earlier this month, Alan Levine, the CEO of Mountain States Health Alliance — another regional health system serving the Tri-Cities and Southwest Virginia — declined to discuss whether his organization was involved in Wellmont's partnership search.
"We're a community-based organization, and I think first and foremost, our board would like to remain that way," Levine said then. "If we ever had to make a decision that we were going to do something with an outside system, I think that would be our last resort, but you never rule anything out, because the environment's changing so dramatically."
When asked Wednesday to comment on Wellmont's announcement, MSHA spokeswoman Teresa Hicks likewise declined comment.
"This process belongs to Wellmont and we respect their privacy, so we're not going to comment on anything related to their potential partner selection," Hicks said.
Jim Wozniak, Wellmont's spokesman, gave an even more terse reply when posed questions about the meaning of the released statement.
"Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the names of any of the remaining interested parties," he said.
The announcement to the media and to Wellmont's employees from board Chairman Roger Leonard stated a final recommendation on the merger question is not expected until this fall at the earliest.
The system began the exploratory search in January with nine potential candidates. The field was narrowed to six in June when the company announced three of the candidates did not meet the requirements outlined by the board of directors.comments powered by Disqus

Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon will still reference it from time to time, how well sophomore guard Seth Allen was playing when no one was watching, progressing over the summer before a foot injury struck days before the start of the 2013-14 season.
He was in the best shape of his college career. He was explosive. He was dynamic.
But Allen's return to full strength was a series of ups and downs before a masterful performance on Feb. 8 at Comcast Center against Florida State when he dropped a career-high 32 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the floor.
This wasn't a one-time, joyous return to preseason form for Allen. It had a bit to do with that, but it had more to do with something much more replicable which, for Maryland's sake, is a positive.
The system. It was clicking.
"The great thing about that night is … almost every shot came out of our offense," Turgeon said this week. "And that's what when we were watching the film afterwards with him and showing him how it came out of this play or that play or out of what we were running or a guy penetrating and pitching … that was the best part."
[RELATED: Maryland mourns loss of manager Zach Lederer]
The 83-71 win for Maryland on that day avenged the blowout loss that the Terrapins suffered at the hands of the Seminoles close to one month prior. On that day, Maryland allowed 16-of-24 shooting from three-point range and lost by 24 points.
Turgeon says it was the lone time his team has been "embarrassed" this season.
So now Maryland has seen both sides of its coin when it comes to Florida State, which it faces on Thursday in the ACC tournament. The Terrapins will likely have to run the table if it has any hope of advancing to the NCAA tournament.
Much responsibility will fall on Allen, who hit the same highs and lows against Florida State as his team did this season. Those 32 points in the second meeting between the two teams contrasts starkly with his first time out when he scored one point and was 0-of-8 from the field.
Turgeon stresses the importance of a structured offense, which was on display the second time around.
"That's why offensively it was [Allen's] best game since he's been here because he let the game come to him and he made some tough shots," Turgeon said. "I'm sure they're going to try to guard him differently in this game and be aware of him. As long as he continues to do things out of the offense, we'll all be happy."
Against Florida State, a team with size and length, manufacturing good shots from the perimeter and converting will stretch the Seminoles defense. That, in turn, opens up driving lanes for Allen, Dez Wells, and others.
"It's a constant battle with him. He's still learning how to play, learning the game and learning situations," Turgeon said of Allen. "It's a process and it continues to get better.
Maryland faces Florida State on Thursday at noon in Greensboro, N.C.

Our trouble-prone and often interrupted fluorine RIB campaign for 2002 is nearing completion. In spite of the difficulties, this campaign has produced some notable results, including the first use of the DRS with a radioactive beam. We will soon shut down the RIB injector for the changeover to the target and ion source system for production of neutron-rich RIBs. Part of the tandem column structure was let up to air to effect repairs since the last time the tandem was operated at high voltage. It will therefore be necessary to devote time (~ one week) to conditioning before the terminal potentials required for the neutron-rich experiments can be achieved. Following this conditioning and stable-beam running required to prepare and test experimental setups, we will begin our campaign of neutron-rich RIB experiments, with emphasis on experiments with pure tin beams.
After the neutron-rich campaign, a major accelerator maintenance period is scheduled (~ seven weeks) in November and December. The work to be done includes refurbishing all ion pumps in the tandem, installing the new gas stripper, and moving the foil stripper to a position downstream (in the sense of beam travel) of the gas stripper.
On June 13 and 14, 2002, a DOE review of HRIBF operations was carried out. The outside review panel consisted of Derek Lowenstein, Brookhaven National Laboratory; Paul Schmor, TRIUMF; Bradley Sherrill, NSCL; Christoph Tschalaer, MIT-BATES Linac; Roy Whitney, Jefferson Laboratory. DOE Nuclear Physics program office staff who attended included Dennis Kovar, Steve Steadman, Jehanne Simon-Gillo, and Gene Henry. We have not yet received the final written report from the panel, so it is not appropriate to comment in much detail on the content of the report. In general terms, we can expect both favorable comments on our accomplishments and suggestions for improving the operation of the facility. The report is likely to suggest changes in the way the ORNL low-energy nuclear physics program as a whole is managed in order to improve the integration of facility operations with research and the user program, and to improve our ability to develop a coherent long-range plan. In addition the report will recommend the creation of additional advisory panels to supplement the existing HRIBF Program Advisory Committee (PAC). A more detailed discussion of the findings of the review panel will be provided after the official report is available.

Understanding the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions depends critically on knowing the properties of the 18F(p,gamma)19Ne and 18F(p,alpha)15O reactions at temperatures ~1-4 x 108K. Further, since 18F is a long-lived observable by-product of novae, the abundance of 18F may provide insights about nova mechanisms. It is thus important to know the degree to which the (p,gamma) and (p,alpha) reactions destroy 18F in such explosions. The levels of interest are low-lying 19Ne resonances just above the 18F+p threshold (6.411 MeV excitation energy), six of which seem to be missing based on what is known about the 19F mirror spectrum [Ut98, Bu98]. Some of the 19Ne levels relevant to nova temperatures are inaccessible through traditional resonance scattering experiments, and difficult to observe via proton transfer reactions in reverse kinematics using a radioactive ion beam. Thus, in order to provide further insights about these resonances, the inverse (d,p) reaction has been used at the HRIBF to selectively populate neutron single-particle states in the corresponding region of the 19F mirror spectrum.
A 160 ug/cm2-thick [CD2]n target of 98% enrichment was bombarded with an isotopically pure, 108-MeV 18F+9 beam. Using a silicon strip detector array (SIDAR) [Ba01] of ~500 um thickness, light charged particles were detected in the laboratory angular range of ~118°-157°, corresponding to "forward" center-of-mass angles in the range ~8°-27°. The beam energy was selected to be high enough for direct reaction models, yet low enough to allow all the protons to be stopped in the SIDAR. A silicon strip detector at the focal plane of the Daresbury Recoil Separator (DRS) was used to detect particle-stable recoils having A=19 in coincidence with the SIDAR. A strip (angle) vs energy plot from one of the SIDAR detectors in coincidence with the focal plane is shown in Fig. 2-1. Other recoils, from higher, alpha-decaying states in 19F, were detected just downstream from the target with an annular strip detector. The on-line data reveal seven proton groups that can be identified with the 2H(18F,p)19F reaction, corresponding to approximate excitation energies in 19F of 0, 1.5, 4.4, 5.1, 6.5, 7.3, and 8.1 MeV. Preliminary analysis shows no evidence (S<0.03) for the 5/2+ state at 6.838 MeV excitation, which may be the mirror of the 287-keV proton resonance in 19Ne, a potentially important resonance at nova temperatures. This and other astrophysical and nuclear structure issues will be examined more closely in off-line analysis.

The studies on the 140mDy and 141gsHo decays lead to the interpretation of the observed 0.97-MeV proton line as the 0.7% transition to the 2+ state in the daughter nucleus 140Dy, with over 99% branching for 1.17-MeV protons populating the 0+ ground state. The weak branching of 0.7% translates into a cross section for the fine structure line of about 2 nanobarns.
Following Raman et al. [8], we can derive quadrupole deformation parameter beta-2=0.23-0.24 for 140Dy from the measured 2+ state energy of 202 keV. This result is somewhat smaller than the anticipated beta-2 values of 0.27-0.28 [9-11]. However, the beta-2 value of 0.23-0.24 is close to beta-2=0.25(4) derived for 141gs,mHo [3] from the observed level scheme. This constitutes first experimental evidence that there is no dramatic shape change during the proton emission process from 141Ho parent to the 140Dy daughter. The latter is a commonly used assumption during theoretical analyses of proton radioactivity.
Recent calculations [12,13] indicate that the main part (about 80%) of the 141gsHo wave function is composed of the proton h11/2 orbital, but the observed decay pattern is governed by a few percent admixture of the proton f7/2 component. However, the fine structure branching ratio is overestimated by a factor of three, and the total decay probability is underestimated by a factor of ten. Very likely, this disagreement is caused by the more complex shape, in comparison to the considered [beta-2=0.24,beta-4] deformation space. There are preliminary indications that calculations done with a triaxial shape of the tunneling potential improve greatly the agreement between the observed and theoretical decay rates for 141gsHo [14]. This is consistent with the earlier conclusion of Ref. [3] based on the signature splitting in the 7/2[404] band.

Another thrust in astrophysics theory is to understand the synthesis of nuclei and energy generation occurring in nova explosions. These are violent thermonuclear outbursts on the surface of white dwarf stars which rapidly release enormous amounts of energy while forming elements up to Ca and beyond. Uncertainties in the rates of reactions on unstable nuclei which drive these explosions (in the Hot CNO cycle and rp-process) severely limit the ability of models to predict synthesized abundances. This is an especially serious limitation for long-lived radionuclides (e.g., 18F, 22Na, 26Al ... ) whose gamma-ray emission is the target of sophisticated satellite observatories (e.g., INTEGRAL). Some of the first precision measurements of reactions important for nova nucleosynthesis are being made with radioactive fluorine beams at HRIBF. Reaction rates based on these measurements are, in some cases, one to two orders of magnitude different than previous determinations. To ascertain the impact of these new rates on nova model predictions, a nucleosynthesis code (Hix et al. [2]) has been used to integrate the system of coupled ordinary differential equations (a "network") governing the temporal evolution of the nuclear abundances from the initiation of the outburst to its conclusion. We carried out separate nuclear reaction network calculations with the full complement of nuclei and reactions for many spherically symmetric shells or "zones" within the white dwarf envelope. These zones, which have different hydrodynamic histories [3], are ejected after the outburst. Our code uses the most current nuclear datasets optimized for nuclear astrophysics [4], and our simulation work is done is close collaboration with ORNL nuclear data efforts to improve these datasets.
Determining the astrophysical impact of a new reaction rate measurement involves comparing nucleosynthesis predictions using reaction rates based on HRIBF measurements to those using older reaction rates. The reactions considered to date are 17F(p,gamma)18Ne, 18F(p,alpha)15O, 18F(p,gamma)19Ne, 14O(alpha,p)17F, and 14O(alpha,2p)16O. We find that, for example, simulations using the 17F(p,gamma)18Ne reaction rate based on our 17F(p,p)17F measurement [5] predict that the produced abundances of some nuclides such as 17O are a factor of 4 times larger than calculations using previous rates. In the hottest zones of the explosions, the production is up to a factor of 15000 larger than previously estimated. This illustrates the impact that a detailed nuclear physics measurement can have on our understanding of cosmic phenomena. We are also using this approach to determine the importance of possible future measurements with RIBs at HRIBF.
Most predictions of the abundances synthesized in stellar explosions are given without uncertainties, making it difficult to compare model predictions to the new, incredibly detailed observations by the Hubble or Chandra observatories. We have developed a Monte Carlo technique [6] that enables, for the first time, the assignment of statistically robust uncertainties to explosion abundance predictions considering the uncertainty of all the input nuclear physics. This technique also enables us to determine the correlations between all synthesized abundances and all reaction rates, and therefore to make priority lists for measurements at radioactive beam facilities. While we are currently using this approach for novae, it is applicable for simulations of a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena.
These calculations are all done with the hydrodynamics decoupled from the changes in nuclear composition. However, the hydrodynamic histories at different locations within the envelope are intimately coupled to the nuclear burning because (i) the nuclear reactions generate the energy driving the outburst, and (ii) the reaction rate between any two nuclear species increases linearly with density and exponentially with temperature. A fully consistent description of an explosion therefore involves coupling a large reaction network to a multidimensional hydrodynamics calculation of the outburst. We have begun a NASA-funded project in collaboration with Arizona State University to perform this coupling using a piecewise parabolic method (PPM) hydrodynamics code coupled to a full nuclear reaction rate network.
Finally, we have recently made our first nucleosynthesis calculations for X-ray bursts, thermonuclear flashes on the surfaces of neutron stars. We are currently examining the influence of new 14O(alpha,p)17F, and 14O(alpha,2p)16O reaction rates (from HRIBF measurements) on the energy generation and nucleosynthesis in these violent explosions. This is another example of the valuable collaborative efforts between theoretical astrophysics and laboratory nuclear physics at HRIBF that is improving our understanding of the cosmos.

On-line tests with 40-MeV proton and deuteron beams will be conducted soon to test this material for the release of radioactive isotopes produced in (p,alpha), (d,alpha) and (d,n) reactions. The more interesting isotopes that can be produced in this target are 33Cl and 29,30P with cross sections that peak at a few hundred millibarns for incident beam energies between 5 and 20 MeV. The on-line tests will measure the yields of the elemental beams of the nuclei mentioned above and will also include a search for various molecular beams.

The coax power leads that failed were of a newer, more flexible design, and had been installed in March when the coax insert had to be replaced due to a water leak. The power leads are an assembly consisting of a main copper conductor which is surrounded by a water-cooled bronze bellows. An external bronze overbraid around the bellows is employed to prevent hyper-extension and associated water leaks. It is desirable to make these leads as flexible as possible due to movement of the coaxial channel during beam tuning and to facilitate easier maintenance. The original leads utilized a piece of coarsely-stranded 4/0 cable for the center conductor. This was changed to a highly-stranded piece of 2/0 cable in the new design, providing maximum flexibility. The 2/0 cable is more than adequate to carry the required current since it is water cooled. However, the smaller center conductor caused enough of an increase in current through the non-water-cooled overbraid to exceed the temperature rating of the electrical insulation surrounding it, thus causing the failure. Consequently, leads fabricated with 4/0 cable have been reinstalled.
An autopsy of the HfO2 target/kinetic ejection negative-ion source that was used for our very successful 17,18F run last year, revealed that a stainless steel target heater lug had melted completely through. An autopsy of the first target/ion source used this year revealed that the same heater lug had also lost significant amounts of metal. While no heater lug damage was observed during the autopsy of the second target/ion source used this year, there was a light grey coating throughout the inside of the vacuum enclosure consistent with stainless steel deposition. In addition, blackening of the white boron nitride ceramic insulators for the surface ionization cone and the repelling grid seen during the autopsies of the first two target/ion sources used this year suggests cesium compound buildup as the cause of their premature failure.
As a result of these observations, the HfO2 target/kinetic ejection negative-ion source that is presently in use and that produced the beams reported above has been modified. The stainless steel target heater lugs have been replaced with niobium lugs. The standard stainless steel nuts and washers that fastened the target heater lugs to the 3/4" threaded copper rod vacuum feedthroughs have been replaced with 1" long, 1 3/8" diameter copper nuts. We did not load cesium during the target/ion source testing process until just before the actual installation on the high-voltage platform in C111S.
We removed the failed beam position monitors at the object and image of the first stage magnetic mass separator on the high voltage platform in C111S. We also replaced the manually operated rotational image slit system with a more robust remotely operated air actuator system that inserts either a 2 mm by 1 cm slit or a 1.2 cm by 2 cm hole.
The cesium oven, external line, and internal line heaters have been interlocked to the target/ion source cooling water flow switches. The cesium oven heater has also been interlocked to the transfer tube power supply (>100 amps required) in order to reduce cesium flow into a cooling ion source after a fault trips the power supply.

The HRIBF data acquisition systems are moving to new storage media for experimental data. Event data will be saved onto the local hard disk of the acquisition computer. Periodically the user will transfer the data from the hard disk to DVD disks for permanent recording. DVD disks offer reliable random access storage. Writing data to DVD is at about the same speed as writing to Exabyte tapes, and the DVD we use, DVD-RW, is about the same size as one Exabyte tape. The advantage of this scheme is that DVD drives are more widely available than Exabyte tape drives, the Exabyte drives we use are nearly obsolete, and disk files are somewhat easier to control and manipulate than the tape files.
The DVDs will be written using the UDF file system, which is the industry standard file system for DVDs. Files on a DVD using the UDF file system are readable on most modern operating systems, including recent versions of Windows and MacOS, and on many of the currently available DVD drives. The DVDs are written with a DVD-RW drive on write-once DVD media.
The DVDs are created via a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The process involves three steps:

About 60 scientists participated in a workshop on transfer reactions at the HRIBF on June 21 and 22. Organized by Ray Kozub, Jolie Cizewski, Jeff Blackmon and Felix Liang, the transfer workshop served the purpose of bringing together those interested in doing transfer-reaction experiments at HRIBF, acquainting them with HRIBF capabilities for such experiments, and addressing issues related to acquiring and interpreting transfer-reaction data. In the near future, a number of transfer-reaction experiments are expected to be carried out using radioactive ion beams at HRIBF.
The scientific program of the workshop was opened by John Schiffer, who presented an overview of transfer reactions studies and the nuclear structure that they can reveal. Wilton Catford then discussed the challenges encountered in measuring these reactions with radioactive ion beams. A more detailed analysis of both the experimental and theoretical aspects of transfer reactions was guided by 15 presentations that followed. Much discussion centered on novel experimental techniques directed towards addressing the particular problems presented by measurements with radioactive ion beams. The workshop was closed with a working session led by Ray Kozub. Most of the presentations from the workshop (and the conference photograph) can be downloaded from the conference website.
It is time to hold the annual election for the Users Executive Committee.
A nomination committee has selected four nominees:
|Jeff Blackmon
|Uwe Greife
|Colorado School of Mines
|Daryl Hartley
|United States Naval Academy
|David Radford
We will hold the annual HRIBF Users Meeting at this year's DNP Meeting in East Lansing, Michigan, October 9-12. The meeting will be held jointly this year along with the users groups of the 88-Inch, ATLAS, NSCL, GAMMASPHERE, GRETA, and RIA. The meeting will be held on Thursday, October 10. The agenda of the meeting has not been finalized.

HRIBF welcomes suggestions for future radioactive beam development. Such suggestions may take the form of a Letter of Intent or an e-mail to the Liaison Officer at email@example.com. In any case, a brief description of the physics to be addressed with the proposed beam should be included. Of course, any ideas on specific target material, production rates, and/or the chemistry involved are also welcome but not necessary. In many cases, we should have some idea of the scope of the problems involved.
Beam suggestions should be within the relevant facility parameters/capabilities listed below.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. PersonalityDwight seems to have lived a life of crime prior to his first appearance in A Dame To Kill For. When we first see him, he seems like a man devoid of any pleasures, in total abstinence for fear of letting the demons that have plagued his life out. He considers even the simplest of details, such as letting his hair grow or revving his engine, as "letting the monster out". Agamemnon, his infrequent employer, calls him "Clean Liver" a reference to his lifestyle and his alcohol abstinence.When Ava Lord shows up in his life again, she seduces him and tricks him into doing what she wants. She tells of her abusive husband Damien Lord and his manservant Manute. She reveals her master plan and almost kills him, Marv takes him to Old Town for an emergency operation. In the process, he becomes a whole new person, both in appearance and in his outlook on life. He becomes much more confident with himself, having, in theory become the monster he was so fearful of. Many times in the series he and other characters refer to his dead eyes. The eyes of a killer. He utilizes his new face to get to Ava for a final confrontation. He gets as far as Manute who reveals to him that he recognized his dead eyes, when they met. Dwight helped by the girls of Old Town battles it out with Ava's guards and Manute, Miho finally pins Manute down and Dwight confronts Ava. He can't bear to be under her control anymore and kills her.This Dwight lets himself go, reviving a relationship with Old Town leader Gail, possibly from before his encounter with Ava. He also has seemed to become insane in a unique way, as, even though he examines insane behavior, he is completely aware of it. In a conversation with the deceased body of Jackie Boy, he realizes he has become insane and that "(he's) just imagining all this".Unlike other Sin City heroes, he doesn't have a force to drive him like Marv's passion for Goldie or Hartigan's complete unselfishness towards Nancy. Dwight is just trying to do what's right and helps his friends, but most importantly, find his place in the world. Dwight McCarthy is played by Clive Owen in the major motion picture adaptation of Sin City, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. Dwight's Changing SelfDwight Pre-OpDead EyesDwight at the beginning of A Dame To Kill For conforms to his minimalist lifestyle, wearing an ordinary shirt and pants. He drives an old Mustang. He keeps his head shaved. He rents a small room and keeps it bare. After his surgery, his personality changes and he starts to wear trenchcoats, his red Converse All Stars and a black shirt. He lets his hair grow out too. He also drives a more flashy car, a vintage Caddilac. He describes himself as having killer's eyes. He still can't forgive himself for the murder of Damien Lord. At times this "new" Dwight can seem to be relishing in his new personality, enjoying the slaying of the mobsters in The Big Fat Kill.Sin City MovieDwight McCarthy is played by Clive Owen in the major motion picture adaptation of Sin City, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. He appears in the version of The Big Fat Kill. He is rumoured to be reprising his role for Sin City 2, which chronicles A Dame To Kill For.

Drugs and Cash Seized at I-95 Arrest
BENTON, Maine (AP) – Maine state police say heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and more than $1,000 in cash was seized during a drug arrest on Interstate 95 in Benton.
Police say 28-year-old Jennifer Rubins of Mashpee, Mass., and 40-year-old Donnell Pina from Marstons Mills, Mass., face aggravated drug trafficking charges.
Steve McCausland of the Maine Public Safety Department says the two were pulled over in a rental car for a traffic violation on Friday. The trooper requested a drug-sniffing dog, which indicated the presence of drugs. Police say the street value of the seized drugs was more than $11,000.
The Kennebec County Jail says Pina was freed on $10,000 cash bail. Rubins was due in court Monday afternoon.

For many of us the Giant Saguaro cactus, silhouetted by the setting sun, is the universal symbol of the American West. And yet, these majestic plants are only found in a small portion of the United States. On the edge of the modern City of Tucson, Saguaro Park protects some of the most impressive forests of these sub-tropical giants, which can live for 200 years and grow to 50 feet tall.
The park consists of two distinct sections—the Rincon Mountain District and the Tucson Mountain District. The area was proclaimed as Saguaro National Monument in 1933 by President Herbert Hoover, the Saguaro Wilderness Area of 71,400 acres was added in 1975. The area was re-designated as Saguaro National Park in 1994 and currently encompasses 91,327 acres.

Apologies to Jack Kerouac aside, words alone cannot describe the stunning weathered and surf-beaten rocks and cliffs that make up Big Sur's spectacular scenery. For that reason we tried to capture the area's splendor in a shoe, but at first we didn't even think that would be possible either. Then we found this incredibly special waxy reversed leather and suddenly knew we had found the perfect material to capture the area's raw beauty. The material's natural luster and differing textures not only recall the rugged coastline but they also will fit in perfectly in the laid-back towns you'll find along the coast and in the mountains. Crafted as a five-eyelet blucher to insure a snug fit, the Toby min-lug rubber sole has the grip and fortitude to deal with tough terrain, be it a cement sidewalk or a craggy cliff top. We've offset the shoe's rough-around-the-edges look with a leather lined foam insole for cushioning and a perf wingtip design that belongs in any cool urban environment, from a club to a pub, and you can take our word on that.

For Christmas I bought myself something I had been wanting for a while: an old-school manual typewriter.
I found a Remington Quiet-Riter on Craigslist for $30. It was a little bit corroded but overall was in excellent shape. The seller said it had been in his family since the 50s and had never been used, and I believe him.
I started out with some basic cleaning. I set it on a sheet of newspaper to collect the gunk, and used a brush dipped in denatured alcohol to clean the works inside.
The ribbon was original and clearly had never been used, but was dead nevertheless. An office supply store in the neighboring town luckily carried replacement manual typewriter ribbons.
(I say "luckily" because obviously you can order them from Amazon, but I did not want to wait.)
It has some quirks. There are two spots where the carriage sticks, and you have to hit backspace and then the spacebar to get past it. And there is significant ghosting of the letters on normal 20lb bond paper.
The ghosting is better on a higher-quality 32lb bond paper, but still evident.
But hey, I'm up and running.
I had one main use for the typewriter in mind, and I've had the thought for months now: yarn labels. I have a very lovely fountain pen, but the thing about fountain pens is that they do not improve your penmanship.
Sure, you can print out yarn labels on the computer, but this lacks panache.
Before typewriter:
After typewriter:
Also, now I can continue to write blog posts after the apocalypse.
(I wouldn't really do that.)
(I might do that.)

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 3, Episode 14: What Happens on "Prey"?
Life is about to get rough in Woodbury, for a change. Here's the official synopsis for The Walking Dead Season 3 episode that will air Sunday, March 17 on AMC:
Episode 14: "Prey"
"The Governor chases a fleeing dissenter; while the Governor is gone, a traitor tries to sabotage his plans."
So he has a "dissenter" and a "traitor." Based on the promo (watch below), that could be Andrea and Milton. It looks like Tyreese may still be supporting The Governor. (Don't be the new Andrea!) Or maybe Martinez wises up? No one who meets Daryl Dixon can live without him for long.
TVLine also added this spoiler: "[On Episode 14] you'll get a flashback to 'simpler times' between Andrea and Michonne (and the latter's 'pets'); you'll see Andrea train a gun on the Governor (but what, if anything, could stop her from pulling the trigger?); and you'll be on the edge of your seat throughout a 10-minute cat-and-mouse sequence, ultimately uttering an expletive at your TV as it comes to an end."
We'd heard a "cool flashback" was coming, and showrunner (not for long!) Glen Mazzara hinted to a great 10-minute segment a while back, telling The Wrap, "There's one episode coming up soon that has I think the most exciting 10-minute sequence I've ever worked on. I just absolutely love it. I think it's fantastic, and I'm very proud to have been a part of it -- that we got it into our show." Mazzara is credited as one of the co-writers of "Prey," so it would make sense if he had been talking about this episode when he made that "10-minute" comment.
E! News also teased of "Prey": "The Governor is on the warpath this week, and you'll never guess who ends up his prisoner by the end of the episode!" Wanna guess anyway? Milton? Andrea? One of Tyreese's people?
There are 16 episodes to Season 3. Here are the synopses for the final two episodes, after "Prey" (via TVRage):
Episode 15: "This Sorrowful Life" (airs March 24)
"Rick and the others learn that if they want a truce with the Governor, they must make a sacrifice."
Yes, Michonne — who killed The Gov's already dead daughter, Penny. There's no way Team Prison would agree to that. Not after she helped them in the first Woodbury vs. prison assault, and certainly not after the Episode 12 road trip. Just give him Merle!
Episode 16, "Welcome to the Tombs" (aka the season finale, which airs March 31)
"Rick and the others consider the defense of the prison as the Governor's impending attack looms."
Sounds like they said "No deal" on sacrificing Michonne. So The Governor is going to attack again on the season finale. We've read rumors that two more major deaths are coming at the end of this season, in the final two episodes. Since we've also been told that this season will have a satisfying ending, we're crossing our fingers that The Governor is the final big death — even though the finale is airing on Easter Sunday. Is that weird?

Rated 3 out of 5Â by discosyl Is it me or is the shirt ..... I love the blue but there is a tinge of "light yellow" like streaks throughout the shirt like it has been faded or intentionally put on there This is the second shirt I have recieved and I do not know if it is supposed to look lke this. Pls someone put me out of my misery.its so odd im starting think it is supposed to be there as I couldnt possibly be this unucky twice. I love it but I cant stop thinking that it might not be right , It is very see through so something either over or under , 6.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by masseraj Wow! Originally when I saw this online I was thinking the black would be the way I would go but when I saw the blue version in the store I immediately realized that was the way to go. This looks awesome on. I'm planning to wear it tomorrow in the city while attending some art classes.I really can't get over how pretty this is. I have blond hair and blue eyes and this really top really brings that all out. The sleeves are just too cool. This fits TTS. 4.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by keiya_heard Absolutely Beautiful I ordered a medium and it is very generous and I am sure that I could have gotten away with a small and it pulls at the bust line like it does on the model here. I wear a women's size 6 and a junior 5/6 and I opt for medium tops because I am a 34 D. It is very charming. It does have some transitional coloring in the fabric and I am guessing that it is intentional. The color looks as if it yellow or green. It is not a stain just a variation in the color. I love this shirt. Worth every penny and I can't wait to wear it with my high waist royal blue pencil skirt! 1.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Sheer Gorgeous I purchased this in black and the fit is tts. The fabric is soft without picking up a lot of static like some viscose fabrics tend to do. The sleeves are so beautiful! Although the fabric is see through, you can get away with a nude bra underneath without feeling like you are flashing, but a cami would work too. Super comfortable, and easily dressed up or down. The tail is long enough to tuck in without slipping out when you sit. 5.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by margaretmeg Beautiful and Unique I saw this top online and had to go to the store to try it on. It exceeded expectation! This top is incredibly flattering, while being feminine and professional. It can be dressed up or down, and the blue color is even more attractive in person. Very cool top! 4.30.2013
