Ribs—they're not just for summer anymore. Here's an easy and delicious recipe for oven-baked BBQ baby back ribs, perfect for those times when the weather keeps you away from your outdoor grill. See how to seal the ribs in the foil to bake low and slow for two hours in a 250 degrees F oven. Next, you'll glaze the ribs with BBQ sauce, crank up the heat, and bake in a 350 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes. You'll repeat this glaze-and-bake process 4 or 5 times to build up fantastic layers of flavor. Check out the recipe for Baked BBQ Baby Back Ribs. This is such an easy oven technique for baby back ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. See more Chef John videos >>
the best ribs ever never know you can cook ribs without boiling them
Another good ideal for baking ribs of any sort is get some liquid marinate sauce soak them then lay them out on a pan and wrap them with plastic wrap keep in ref. over night , then take them out and grill them with your favorite barque sauce. Yummy. And tender.
Oh! my!! I was in the middl of baking ribs b/c my gas grill is out! Easy recipe!! I boil my ribs for 45mins in vinegar then grill, but since my grill is out, all I had to do was bake & "paint" my ribs until done!! Easy & tender!!

DCAU appreciation

Re: DCAU appreciation
TV's Frank wrote:
With the recent 4-disc release of music from the show, I was revisiting a number of episodes in the DVD sets.
Four-disc? I only have two. Was there a second volume I somehow missed?
This also led me to seek out the comic book series from the 90's set specifically in the animated universe, such as the aforementioned "Lost Years".
I wish I could afford to track down all the back issues of those series that I missed. I was only able to collect them piecemeal originally. And while a lot of them conflict with later DCAU continuity, there are probably a fair number that would still work.
Turtletrekker wrote:
"On Leather Wings" was a good opener as it really established everything you need to know about the character. All of the other DCAU shows begin with "Origin Stories", but B:TAS just jumps right in with the action. C'mon, he's Batman. Does he really need an introduction?
Well, there were a couple of more practical reasons they didn't do an origin. One was that the Burton movie already covered it. The other was censorship; FOX Kids put a lot of restrictions on violence in its programming and so B:TAS had to avoid showing death. So the murder of the Waynes was only indirectly or symbolically alluded to a few times.
But we get introduction eps for the rest of the Rogues Gallery, which at first made me thing the show took place early in his career. At least two years, per "The Jokers Favor", but obviously longer when you take his history with Dick Grayson into account.
Yup. "Robin's Reckoning" establishes that he was already Batman at least 8-9 years before the B:TAS episodes featuring Robin. The ones without Robin could potentially come earlier, though.
"Nothing to Fear" The introduction to the Scarecrow had some powerful stuff, but will always be remembered by me as the ep with Kevin Conroy's delivery of the line, "I am vengence, I am the night, I am Batman!"
A line whose iconic status I hate, because it's totally wrong. Batman is not about vengeance. If he were, he would've killed Joe Chill and retired. Batman is about
, and about trying to keep other people from having to mourn the deaths of their loved ones.
"Feat of Clay" 1 & 2-- Clunkers.
I thought they were pretty good, especially part 2. The animation in part 1 (by Akom, a generally mediocre studio) was poor, but part 2 was animated by the brilliant Tokyo Movie Shinsha and features some of the most spectacular, amazing animation ever seen on American television at that point.
"The Jokers Favor"-- The first appearance of Harley Quinn and a personal favorite of mine.
Also the first Paul Dini-scripted Joker episode, which is why the previous Joker episodes were all so lame in comparison.
"Mad As A Hatter"-- This one could have been silly, but works in 50s Dick Sprang era kind of way.
It feels much more substantial than that to me, thanks to the dark edge Dini's writing gives it and the soulful brilliance of Roddy McDowall's performance.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard Essential Training, instructor Sean Colins explains the three types of Leopard servers (Advanced, Workgroup, and Standard), and shows how to set up a server environment and configure each of the major services. The tutorial breaks down this complicated subject and focuses on the elements that are essential to getting up and running. This title is ideal for experienced administrators who want a primer of the changes in Mac OS X Server, or new server administrators looking for a complete and detailed walkthrough on how to set up a Mac OS X Server.
Apple released Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5 in late October of 2007. This was the fifth release of Mac OS X Server, and Apple made us wait longer for this release then they have any other release since they started releasing Mac OS X Server. This one however is really worth the wait. We finally get some new services that we've been asking for for a very long time. We got shared contacts, we got shared calendaring. We have the ability to be a centralized backup server. We have the ability to run a Wiki server. We have many different things that are completely new in this operating system, things that we've never seen before. Podcast producer. Something we've never even conceived we would want to have before. So with all of these new services, this title is going to be a lot longer than the previous Mac OS X Server title that was done on Tiger server, and this one is going to be organized slightly differently.
Please take the time to look at the Understanding This Title movie. It'll help you to understand how things are organized and where you should go within the title to see different ways of configuring the operating system and to understand the tracks and the way that we organized things. This title is not designed to be walked straight through. It does require some bouncing around, but that's because of the three different styles, or personalities, or types of servers here that we have available to us in Mac OS X Server. So to communicate what we've got here, we've got each of our servers with a different color background. I just want to take a little bit of time to explain to you which of these colors means what, so you know what you're looking at. So any time we're using the standard server, you're going to see this darkish blue background. Any time we are using the Work Group server you'll see a screen pop up that has this dark gray background. Advanced Server will have this green background, and Podcast Producer later on in Chapter 17 will have this light gray, almost whitish background. Now that being said, during all of that time, the standard desktop background for our client system, which is where we're actually recording all of this stuff, is going to be this very, very nice aqua looking blue color.
So any time you see the aqua blue color, that is our Leopard Client and the other colors we already went through. So hopefully that's clear.

Why Do I Need Regular Eye Exam?
Last updated: October 25, 2012 by Ashley
Poor vision affects so many aspects of everyday life; you absolutely can't live with bad vision. Whether you are far-sided, near-sided or unsure, eye exams are an important part of keeping your eyes healthy.
Even if you don't have any type of vision problems, it can improve your vision through an array of possibilities. That's why a regular visit to an optometrist is so important!
Eye doctors claim that they are able to diagnosis several different types of situations early enough to cure if individuals receive their yearly eye exam.
Did you know that on a routine examination eye doctors can diagnosis diabetes, high cholesterol and even tumors in their patients? It's true! In most cases, these patients had no idea there was anything wrong with them.
Yet many still ignore the importance of an annual eye exam.
Without having regular eye exams, something could go wrong with your eyes and you have no idea until it's too late to do anything about it. It is therefore your responsibility to have a full and complete eye examination, preferably once every year.
The problem is, many people forgo regular eye check-ups for themselves and their children due to the high cost of an eye exam without insurance coverage.
According to the Vision Service Plan, the national average charge for an eye exam is $114 for those without insurance. It varies depending upon the clinic and region of the country.
In general, an average family eye care center may charge roughly $110 for an eye exam, and retailers like Wal-Mart and Costco may charge as little as $70 in their discount clinics.
For those with insurance coverage, the typical copay will apply. For some, the vision plan covers the full cost of a regular annual eye exam. Other plans charge a copay of $5 to $35. 1
If you're looking for free eye exam,
the following national programs may provide free or subsidized eye exams.
VISION USA™ provides free eye exams to eligible, low-income working families who have no vision insurance, allowing more than 340,000 low-income working Americans the benefits of better vision.
If you haven't had an eye exam for the last 2 years and uninsured, you might be eligible for a free comprehensive eye exam.

Step 1: What you'll need
2. Drill
3. Screws
4. Two old belts
5. No Fear of Heights
That's all..............what are you waiting for keep goin!
Step 2: Find the legs
Step 3: Cut base plates
Step 4: Cut triangles
Step 5: Cut the foot plates
Step 6: Screw the base plate on
Step 7: Screw the supports on
Step 9: Cut up the old belts
I'm a stiltwalker who has experience on drywall, acrobatic, and homemade peg stilts. In every pair of stilts I've used, the calf strap is most important. The straps around your feet do have their purpose, but it is the calf strap that provides stability. Be really careful on these...
but, safety issues aside, they look like nice stilts.
Congrats on a pair of stilts and an even bigger congrats to getting up on them. In the stilting scene we have a saying "let's get high and have fun!"
If your foot is normally some 4 inches from your ankle, now you have a force being applied some 30 inches from the same point = 7.5 times higher force.
Don't try these.
Let's see them in use!
(I think what Lemonie is talking about is ankle support, not actual stability - most stilts that strap to your foot also strap to your calf, to stop a stumble snapping both your ankles. The size of the "foot" of a pair of stilts is often unimportant - I've used stilts with the bottom end about the size of a penny.)
And add a video, please.

If you had told us that slapping on some Barbie-pink matte lipstick, slipping into an old Beyonce wig from 2008 and making serial killer eyes would make Kelly Osbourne look like Miley Cyrus, we might not have believed you. But the proof is in the TwitPic! While on set for their movie So Undercover, Kelly was morphed into a mini-Miley. "I'm just being Miley!!!!," tweeted Osbourne, though we're going to have to check with Miley's best friend Leslie to see if that is correct.
If Twitter is any indication, Osbourne and Cyrus have become fast friends while working in New Orleans on the film. Though if Kelly had really wanted to be accurate, apparently she should have worn cut-off booty shorts, a stained holey t-shirt and, let's be real here, hold a massive bong. Wow, we have next year's Halloween costume all planned and it's only December. [Photo: Kelly Osbourne's Twitter]

- J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions - interplay of hard and soft QCD processes (1998)
- We study J/psi suppression in AB collisions assuming that the charmonium states evolve from small, color transparent configurations. Their interaction with nucleons and nonequilibrated, secondary hadrons is simulated us- ing the microscopic model UrQMD. The Drell-Yan lepton pair yield and the J/psi /Drell-Yan ratio are calculated as a function of the neutral transverse en- ergy in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV and found to be in reasonable agreement with existing data.
- Phase transition of a finite quark-gluon plasma (1997)
- The deconfinement transition region between hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma is studied for finite volumes. Assuming simple model equations of state and a first order phase transition, we find that fluctuations in finite volumes hinder a sharp separation between the two phases around the critical temperature, leading to a rounding of the phase transition. For reaction volumes expected in heavy ion experiments, the softening of the equation of state is reduced considerably. This is especially true when the requirement of exact color-singletness is included in the QGP equation of state.
- Hadron production from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma (1997)
- Measured hadron yields from relativistic nuclear collisions can be equally well understood in two physically distinct models, namely a static thermal hadronic source versus a time-dependent, non-equilibrium hadronization off a quark gluon plasma droplet. Due to the time-dependent particle evaporation off the hadronic surface in the latter approach the hadron ratios change (by factors of / 5) in time. The overall particle yields then reflect time averages over the actual thermodynamic properties of the system at a certain stage of evolution.
- Modelling ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions with the quark Molecular Dynamics qMD (2005)
- This thesis presents a model for the dynamical description of deconfined quark matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, treating quarks and antiquarks as classical point particles subject to a colour-dependent, Cornell-type potential interaction. The model provides a dynamical handle for hadronization via the recombination of quarks and antiquarks in colour neutral clusters. Gluons are not included explicitly in the model,but are described in an effective manner by the means of the potential interaction. The model includes four different quark flavours (up, down, strange and charm) and uses current masses for the quarks. The dynamical evolution of a system of colour charges subject to the Hamiltonian equations of motion of the model yields the formation of colour neutral clusters of quarks and antiquarks, which are subject only to a small remaining interaction, the strong interquark potential notwithstanding. These clusters can be mapped onto hadrons and hadronic resonances. Thus, the model allows a dynamical description of quarks degrees of freedom in heavy ion collisions, including a recombination scheme for hadronization. The thermal properties of the model turn pout to be very satisfying. The model shows a transition from a confining phase to a deconfined phase with rising temperature, going hand in hand with a softest point in the equation of state and a rise of energy density and pressure to the Stefan-Boltzmann limit of a gas of quarks and antiquarks. Moreover, the potential interaction is screened in the deconfined phase. For the dynamical description of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collision, the qMD model is coupled to UrQMD as a generator for its initial conditions. In this way, a fully dynamical description of the expansion and hadronization of the fireball created in such collisions can be achieved. Non-equilibrium aspects of the expansion dynamics and hadronization by recombination of quarks and antiquarks are discussed in detail, and a comparison with experimental data of collisions at the CERN-SPS is presented. The big advantage of the qMD model is the possibility to study cluster formation, including exotic clusters, and fluctuations in a dynamical manner. As an example, event-by-event fluctuations in electric charge are studied. Such fluctuations have been proposed as a clear criterion to distinguish a deconfined system from a hadrons gas. However, experimental data show hadron gas fluctuation measures even at RHIC, where deconfinement is taken for granted. We will see how the dynamics of quark recombination washes out the quark-gluon plasma signal in the fluctuation criterion. Moreover, we will discuss briefly the problem of entropy at recombination. In a second application, the formation of exotic hadronic clusters, larger than usual mesons and baryons, is studied. Such clusters could provide new measures for the thermalization and homogenization of a deconfined gas of colour charges. Moreover, number estimates for exotic clusters from recombination are considerably lower than corresponding predictions from thermal models, providing a clear difference between statistical hadronization and hadronization via quark recombination. A detailed analysis is provided for pentaquark candidates such as the Theta-Plus. It turns out that the distribution of exotic states over strangeness, isospin, and spin could provide a sensitive measure for thermalization and decorrelation in the deconfined quark phase, if it could be measured.
- Collective phenomena in the non-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma (2008)
- In this work we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a quark-gluon plasma, as created in heavy-ion collisions. We investigate how big of a role plasma instabilities can play in the isotropization and equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we determine, among other things, how much collisions between the particles can reduce the growth rate of unstable modes. This is done both in a model calculation using the hard-loop approximation, as well as in a real-time lattice simulation combining both classical Yang-Mills-fields as well as inter-particle collisions. The new extended version of the simulation is also used to investigate jet transport in isotropic media, leading to a cutoff-independent result for the transport coefficient $hat{q}$. The precise determination of such transport coefficients is essential, since they can provide important information about the medium created in heavy-ion collisions. In anisotropic media, the effect of instabilities on jet transport is studied, leading to a possible explanation for the experimental observation that high-energy jets traversing the plasma perpendicular to the beam axis experience much stronger broadening in rapidity than in azimuth. The investigation of collective modes in the hard-loop limit is extended to fermionic modes, which are shown to be all stable. Finally, we study the possibility of using high energy photon production as a tool to experimentally determine the anisotropy of the created system. Knowledge of the degree of local momentum-space anisotropy reached in a heavy-ion collision is essential for the study of instabilities and their role for isotropization and thermalization, because their growth rate depends strongly on the anisotropy.
- Probing the QCD Phase Diagram with Compact Stars (2010)
- In this work we study compact stars, i.e. neutron stars, as cosmic laboratories for the nuclear matter. With a mass of around 1 - 3 solar masses and a radius of around 10km, compact stars are very dense and, besides nucleons, can contain exotic matter such as hyperons or quark matter. The KaoS collaboration studied nuclear matter for densities up to 2-3 times saturation density by analysing kaon multiplicities from Au+Au and C+C collisions. The results show that nuclear matter in the corresponding density region is very compressible, with a compressibility of <200MeV. For such soft nuclear equations of state the maximum masses of neutron stars are ca. 1.8 - 1.9 solar masses, whereas the central densities are higher than 5 times nuclear saturation density and therefore point towards a possible phase transition to quark matter. If quark matter would be present in the interior of neutron stars, so-called hybrid stars, it could be produced already during their birth in supernova explosions. To study this we implement a quark matter phase transition in a hadronic equation of state which is used in supernova simulations. Supernova simulations of low and intermediate mass progenitors and two different bag constants show a collapse of the proto neutron star due to the softening of the equations of state in the quark-hadron mixed phase. The stiffening of the equation of state for pure quark matter halts the collapse and leads to the production of a second shock wave. The second shock wave is energetic enough to lead to an explosion of the star and produces a neutrino burst when passing the neutrinospheres. Furthermore, first studies of the longtime cooling of hybrid stars show, that colour superconductivity can significantly influence the cooling behaviour of hybrid stars, if all quarks form Cooper Pairs. For the so-called CSL phase (colour-spin locking) with pairing energies of several MeV, the cooling of the quark phase is suppressed and the hybrid star appears as a pure hadronic star.
- Properties of hadronic matter near the phase transition (2010)
- In order to fully understand the new state of matter formed in heavy ion collisions, it is vital to isolate the always present final state hadronic contributions within the primary Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) experimental signatures. Previously, the hadronic contributions were determined using the properties of the known mesons and baryons. However, according to Hagedorn, hadrons should follow an exponential mass spectrum, which the known hadrons follow only up to masses of M = 2 GeV. Beyond this point the mass spectrum is flat, which indicates that there are "missing" hadrons, that could potentially contribute significantly to experimental observables. In this thesis I investigate the influence of these "missing" Hagedorn states on various experimental signatures of QGP. Strangeness enhancement is considered a signal for QGP because hadronic interactions (even including multi-mesonic reactions) underpredict the hadronic yields (especially for strange particles) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, RHIC. One can conclude that the time scales to produce the required amount of hadronic yields are too long to allow for the hadrons to reach chemical equilibrium within the lifetime of a cooling hadronic fireball. Because gluon fusion can quickly produce strange quarks, it has been suggested that the hadrons are born into chemical equilibrium following the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition. However, we show here that the missing Hagedorn states provide extra degrees of freedom that can contribute to fast chemical equilibration times for a hadron gas. We develop a dynamical scheme in which possible Hagedorn states contribute to fast chemical equilibration times of X X pairs (where X = p, K, Lambda, or Omega) inside a hadron gas and just below the critical temperature. Within this scheme, we use master equations and derive various analytical estimates for the chemical equilibration times. Applying a Bjorken picture to the expanding fireball, the hadrons can, indeed, quickly chemically equilibrate for both an initial overpopulation or underpopulation of Hagedorn resonances. We compare the thermodynamic properties of our model to recent lattice results and find that for both critical temperatures, Tc = 176 MeV and Tc = 196 MeV, the hadrons can reach chemical equilibrium on very short time scales. Furthermore the ratios p/pi, K/pi , Lambda/pi, and Omega/pi match experimental values well in our dynamical scenario. The effects of the "missing" Hagedorn states are not limited to the chemical equilibration time. Many believe that the new state of matter formed at RHIC is the closet to a perfect fluid found in nature, which implies that it has a small shear viscosity to entropy density ratio close to the bound derived using the uncertainty principle. Our hadron resonance gas model, including the additional Hagedorn states, is used to obtain an upper bound on the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio, eta/s, of hadronic matter near Tc that is close to 1/(4pi). Furthermore, the large trace anomaly and the small speed of sound near Tc computed within this model agree well with recent lattice calculations. We also comment on the behavior of the bulk viscosity to entropy density ratio of hadronic matter close to the phase transition, which qualitatively has a different behavior close to Tc than a hadron gas model with only the known resonances. We show how the measured particle ratios can be used to provide non-trivial information about Tc of the QCD phase transition. This is obtained by including the effects of highly massive Hagedorn resonances on statistical models, which are generally used to describe hadronic yields. The inclusion of the "missing" Hagedorn states creates a dependence of the thermal fits on the Hagedorn temperature, TH , and leads to a slight overall improvement of thermal fits. We find that for Au+Au collisions at RHIC at sqrt{sN N} = 200 GeV the best square fit measure, chi^2 , occurs at TH = Tc = 176 MeV and produces a chemical freeze-out temperature of 172.6 MeV and a baryon chemical potential of 39.7 MeV.
- Energy dependence of multiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions at the CERN SPS (2008)
- In this work data of the NA49 experiment at CERN SPS on the energy dependence of multiplicity fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A and 158A GeV, as well as the system size dependence at 158A GeV, is analysed for positively, negatively and all charged hadrons. Furthermore the rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of multiplicity fluctuations are studied. The experimental results are compared to predictions of statistical hadron-gas and string-hadronic models. It is expected that multiplicity fluctuations are sensitive to the phase transition to quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) and to the critical point of strongly interacting matter. It is predicted that both the onset of deconfinement, the lowest energy where QGP is created, and the critical point are located in the SPS energy range. Furthermore, the predictions for the multiplicity fluctuations of statistical and string-hadronic models are different, the experimental data might allow to distinguish between them. The used measure of multiplicity fluctuations is the scaled variance omega, defined as the ratio of the variance and the mean of the multiplicity distribution. In the NA49 experiment the tracks of charged particles are detected in four large volume time projection chambers (TPCs). In order to remove possible detector effects a detailed study of event and track selection criteria is performed. Naively one would expect Poisson fluctuations in central heavy ion collisions. A suppression of fluctuations compared to a Poisson distribution is observed for positively and negatively charged hadrons at forward rapidity in Pb+Pb collisions. At midrapidity and for all charged hadrons the fluctuations are larger than the Poisson ones. The fluctuations seem to increase with decreasing system size. It is suggested that this is due to increased relative fluctuations in the number of participants. Furthermore, it was discovered that omega increases for decreasing rapidity and transverse momentum. A hadron-gas model predicts different values of omega for different statistical ensembles. In the grand-canonical ensemble, where all conservation laws are fulfilled only on the average, not on an event-by-event basis, the predicted fluctuations are the largest ones. In the canonical ensemble the charges, namely the electrical charge, the baryon number and the strangeness, are conserved for each event. The scaled variance in this ensemble is smaller than for the grand-canonical ensemble. In the micro-canonical ensemble not only the charges, but also the energy and the momentum are conserved in each event, the predicted $omega$ is the smallest one. The grand-canonical and canonical formulations of the hadron-gas model over-predict fluctuations in the forward acceptance. In contrast to the experimental data no dependence of omega on rapidity and transverse momentum is expected. For the micro-canonical formulation, which predicts small fluctuations in the total phase space, no quantitative calculation is available yet for the limited experimental acceptance. The increase of fluctuations for low rapidities and transverse momenta can be qualitatively understood in a micro-canonical ensemble as an effect of energy and momentum conservation. The string-hadronic model UrQMD significantly over-predicts the mean multiplicities but approximately reproduces the scaled variance of the multiplicity distributions at all measured collision energies, systems and phase-space intervals. String-hadronic models predict for Pb+Pb collisions a monotonous increase of omega with collision energy, similar to the observations for p+p interactions. This is in contrast to the predictions of the hadron-gas model, where omega shows no energy dependence at higher energies. At SPS energies the predictions of the string-hadronic and hadron-gas models are in the same order of magnitude, but at RHIC and LHC energies the difference in omega in the full phase space is much larger. Experimental data should be able to distinguish between them rather easily. Narrower than Poissonian (omega < 1) multiplicity fluctuations measured in the forward kinematic region (1<y(pi)<y_{beam}) can be related to the reduced fluctuations predicted for relativistic gases with imposed conservation laws. This general feature of relativistic gases may be preserved also for some non-equilibrium systems as modeled by the string-hadronic approaches. A quantitative estimate shows that the predicted maximum in fluctuations due to a first order phase transition from hadron-gas to QGP is smaller than the experimental errors of the present experiment and can therefore neither be confirmed nor disproved. No sign of increased fluctuations as expected for a freeze-out near the critical point of strongly interacting matter is observed.
- A Stopped delta-matter source in heavy ion collisions at 10-GeV/N? (1994)
- We predict the formation of highly dense baryon-rich resonance matter in Au+Au collisions at AGS energies. The final pion yields show observable signs for resonance matter. The Delta1232 resonance is predicted to be the dominant source for pions of small transverse momenta. Rescattering e ects consecutive excitation and deexcitation of Delta's lead to a long apparent life- time (> 10 fm/c) and rather large volumina (several 100 fm3) of the Delta-matter state. Heavier baryon resonances prove to be crucial for reaction dynamics and particle production at AGS.
- Chemical freezeout in relativistic A+A collisions: is it close to the QGP? (1997)
- Preliminary experimental data for particle number ratios in the collisions of Au+Au at the BNL AGS (11A GeV/c) and Pb+Pb at the CERN SPS (160A GeV/c) are analyzed in a thermodynamically consistent hadron gas model with excluded volume. Large values of temperature, T = 140 185 MeV, and baryonic chemical potential, µb = 590 270 MeV, close to the boundary of the quark-gluon plasma phase are found from fitting the data. This seems to indicate that the energy density at the chemical freezeout is tremendous which would be indeed the case for the point-like hadrons. However, a self-consistent treatment of the van der Waals excluded volume reveals much smaller energy densities which are very far below a lowest limit estimate of the quark-gluon plasma energy density.

Thank you for a lovely stay...we will be back again :-)
Super accueil de Cristiano et Beatrice qui sont toujours disponibles soit pour répondre à nos questions, nous écouter et aussi nous accompagner si besoin, ce qui rend notre séjour agréable. Leur Riad est exactement comme je me l'imaginais, typique de Marrakech mais avec une touche personnelle ce qui fait le charme du lieu. Le quartier est assez populaire peut-être un peu plus authentique qu'aux abords des souks sans en être toutefois trop éloigné.
Merci encore mille fois.

Gear Review
Nice shoe
I recieved these as a warranty replacement from Northwave for my Aerlite SBS shoes that were coming apart . First impression was they are very ventilated. The mesh uppers breathe very well. The sole isn't carbon or carbon reenforced, so the sole is nowhere near as stiff. Having ridden a carbon soled shoe for the last six years, I am noticing the difference in sole stiffness, particularly on longer rides. The arches of my feet seem to fatigue over 50k, which is something I have never noticed. For winter riding I don't think the mesh upper will be very warm, but a decent set of shoe covers should fix that.
Quality so far is A+
Sizing is the same as my Aerlites so it is 1 size larger than my old Aerators.
Keri Belle Conrad
Spookyload, check this out: http://www.northwave.com/_pdf/pdf/2011-tecnologie/mtb.pdf
You are correct, it is NOT the sole... rather the plate (the cleat slider), that is reinforced with carbon.

Curriculum and Degree Options
The degree in CLS at the University of Kansas is a 2+2 program: students take 2 years of specified liberal arts courses (biological science, chemistry, math and general education) followed by entry into the professional component of the program at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The degree consists of two concentrations – the clinical concentration (traditional) and the molecular biotechnology concentration. A student may choose either option or both. (Completing both concentrations will require approximately 1 additional semester).
Prerequisite Courses (first 2 years of study)
Professional Program (last 2 years of study, in KU's CLS program)
Until the second semester of the senior year, students in both concentrations take the same coursework. Also during the senior year, students will rotate through 14-22 weeks of practicum experience at several of the school's many collaborating affiliates.
Clinical and Molecular Concentrations; Study Plans
Students are required to complete a minimum of 57 pre-requisite Credit Hours. The following suggested study plans detail the coursework required during the freshman and sophomore years and may be helpful in planning course work. Courses with similar content may be acceptable alternatives.
The professional program in CLS begins in the fifth semester of study (junior year). We offer a Clinical concentration and Molecular Biotechnology concentration – course work is identical until the eighth and final semester of study:
Successful completion of the clinical concentration, and the awarding of the baccalaureate degree, allows the student to sit for the national certification examination (American Society for Clinical Pathology, and upon passing the exam, be credentialed as an MLS(ASCP)cm.
Successful completion of the molecular biotechnology concentration, and the awarding of the baccalaureate degree, allows the student to sit for the national certification examination (American Society for Clinical Pathology, and upon passing the exam, be credentialed as an MB(ASCP)cm.
Categorical Concentration in Hematology, Chemistry, or Microbiology; Study Plans
A new course of study, categorical concentration, has been developed for science majors who already hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and are currently working in a clinical laboratory in hematology, chemistry, or microbiology.
The Categorical Concentration course of study allows qualified individuals to complete the educational requirements for one specific area of clinical laboratory science. Curriculum options include clinical microbiology, hematology, and clinical chemistry. A second baccalaureate degree is NOT awarded to the student, but the courses taken appear on his or her official KU transcript.
Successful completion of one of the categorical concentrations allows the student to sit for the categorical certification examination in microbiology, hematology, or chemistry offered by the ASCP Board of Certification, and upon passing, be designated as either an H(ASCP)cm, M(ASCP)cm, C(ASCP)cm, depending on which exam is taken.
Online Courses in the KU CLS program
With our Online Courses, students can work independently while on clinical rotations – eliminating the need to travel to KUMC each day – during their last semester of study. The following courses in the professional program are currently offered on-line during the last semester of the professional year and run concurrently with corresponding practicums. These classes are only available to students enrolled in the CLS program at KU.
CLS 640 Clinical Chemistry III (2)
CLS 642 Clinical Microbiology II (2)
CLS 644 Immunohematology II (2)
CLS 646 Hematology III (2)
CLS 648 Clinical Immunology (1)
Students take online courses using the Blackboard learning management system.
Janet Hudzicki, PhD, MLS(ASCP)cm, SM, is chair of the admissions committee for the department. She may be contacted via email: firstname.lastname@example.com with other questions you may have about the curriculum structure, etc.

What The Marxists Know But The Capitalists Don't
But first, a few quick comments on this most interesting week. If you are a bull, you may take comfort in the fact that, with all the bad news swirling about, markets held up very well and that it has "discounted" all this news. Of course, the curmudgeons such as myself would remind you that the market can only discount what it knows, not what it has never seen (such as the disintegration of the EU)
That being said, here are some quick thoughts on the three impending disasters du jour for you to think about
We start with China.We all know the banks lent more money last month than in the prior three months.This was in spite of the regulators halting the practice to cool down the real estate bubble.Yet, counter-intuitively, consumer price inflation moderated, although factory gate prices rose (how does that happen?)
So, the net is that the authorities have ordered slower credit growth, set aside higer reserves, tighten home lending, all WITHOUT raising interest rates.
Now there have been increasing calls that a crash will occur at some time, led by Jim Chanos, one of the smartest and least idealogical players in the business.(Marc Faber has made so many predictions that it's hard for me to know where he stands.)But the important point for deflationists like myself is the following
The main reason the bubble will deflate differently in China is that the Communist Party controls everything….when real estate values collapse, the government will support prices of other things to keep the economy from buckling under deflationary forces. Strict capital controls will prevent money from leaving the mainland.
It can (and will) force banks to make loans in this attempt to ward off deflation.
Now the LAST thing Beijing wants is to be held responsible for any bubbles bursting.So, the way out is to open the spigots on exports and try to grow their way out of the deflation., which is EXACTLY what it did during the global meltdown.And this is where the US and the EU need to worry.An ever-more export -driven China would mean ever cheaper goods flowing into the US and EU. This is the ingredient which is so highly deflationary
Which brings me to EUROPE. Before Greece, just think about how Germany has been exporting deflation to the rest of the world for the last few decades. How else could they be the biggest engine of growth in the EU while maintaining such a high domestic savings rate? The answer is cheap wages. So you have a scenario where the biggest industrial engine in the world, and in Europe are both exporting deflation to the rest of the world. This will not change anytime soon.
As far as GREECE,clearly no one knows what the outcome will be. But this WILL happen. They will crush the man in the street.The measures that will be taken will be draconian.Why is a 4% deficit cut demand being made? NO ONE knows why that number was picked. But to quibble is not the point. Greece, as an individual entity, is not important. Germany will provide the backstop, as their bank exposure is massive (as are the Swiss banks). But what this represents is even more important.
This kind of deficit-bashing insanity is spreading across the world (although not the US) A budget deficit is just a number, but the cretins of the NON-ELECTED council somehow think that it is the magical elixer to solve all problems. It is like blaming the thermometerwhen you have the flu.Any doctor would have his license revoked if he suggested putting the thermometer in a bucket of ice water until the patient's temperature returned to normal.
Yet this is precisely what poor Greece has been blackmailed into doing. And you can be sure this insanity will not stop there. Keep in mind, even FRANCE budget deficit to GDP is almost 9%. What will they do then? What else does this imply? Well, it begins with d and ends in flation.
And talking about further disasters waiting to happen, a note about the US.
You may not have noticed (or cared) but the long-awaited Treasury sell-off started last week.The game has now shifted from not if, but when yields will rise, has started in earnest.The sell-off in the $25 billion 10.year auction was a clear indication of the volatile mood of investors. The US will issue a net $1.7 trillion in paper this year. Without going into the boring details of bond auctions, bid-to-cover, etc, the experts said this auction was a "failure" There will be more
NOW; ABOUT THOSE MARXISTS (Karl, not Groucho)
Essentially, they have uncovered the dirty little secret of the US economy. Briefly, between 1980 and 2000, financial industry profits rose from $32.4 billion to $195.8 billion, and the financial sector's share of all domestically produced profits went from 19% to 29%
It fell to one Paul Sweezy,a Marxist, to point out the ugly truth.To a free market economist (may they rest in piece) the rise of Wall Street was a natural outgrowth of the US economy's competitve advantage in the sector. But Sweezy pointed out that, instead, it reflected a an increasingly desperate attempt to head off economic stagnation. With wages growing slowly, if at all, and with investment opportunities insufficient to soak up all the profits corporations were generating, the issuance of debt and the incessant creation of new objects of financial speculation were necessary to keep spending growing.
AND HE WROTE THIS IN 1987!!!. And today, nothing has changed. If you ex out an explosive growth in the military budget, the ONLY growth has come from financial engineering.. This is what is happening NOW. Jobs have been disappearing from the US for over a decade.No wonder this is a "jobless recovery"
AND A FINAL THOUGHT on investing for these turbulent times which takes me back to Keynes for some thoughts to live by.
Investing, and most other economic activities are carried out on the basis of information that is limited and unreliable.. A state of near-ignorance is the normal course of events.
Thus, in such an envirnment, investors seek to reassure themselves the current situation will continue, all while knowing intuitively the situation could change at any minute. "A conventional valuation which is established as the outcome of the mass psychology of a large number of ignorant (not you) individuals is liable to change violently as the result of a sudden fluctuation of opinion due to factors which do not really make much difference to the prospective yield", said Keynes." since there will be no strong roots of conviction to hold it steady."He went on:"the market will be subject to waves of optimistic and pessimistic sentiment, which are unreasoning and yet, in a sense, legitimate where no solid basis exists for reasonable calculation"
And, in a further blow to the efficient market advocates who are still alive, Keynes goes on about trading. The Chicago school (birthplace of the EMH) advocated that professional traders would automatically arbitrage away and price discrepancies that resulted in mispricing of securities. But Keynes had it right when he said (particularly in this day of high frequency trading, dark pools, hedgies, etc) that rather than putting money to work on the basis of what they perceive as the fundamentals, many professional investors concentrate on " foreseeing changes in the conventional basis of valuation a short time ahead of the general public" in order to make a quick profit, Keynes wrote. "They are concerned, not with what the the investment is worth to a man who "buys for keeps", but for what the market will value it at, under the influence of mass psychology, three months or a year hence"(had he written this today, he might well add 3 minutes or 3 hours)
Anyway, keep your paws crossed. The best opportunities are yet to come.
