Physicist detail huge discovery of tiny particle
By Eric Berger : July 4, 2012 : Updated: July 5, 2012 2:54am
Photo By AP
This undated image made available by CERN shows a typical candidate event including two high-energy photons whose energy (depicted by red towers) is measured in the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. The yellow lines are the measured tracks of other particles produced in the collision. The pale blue volume shows the CMS crystal calorimeter barrel. To cheers and standing ovations, scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher claimed the discovery of a new subatomic particle Wednesday July 4, 2012, calling it "consistent" with the long-sought Higgs boson — popularly known as the "God particle" — that helps explain what gives all matter in the universe size and shape. (AP Photo/CERN) EDITORIAL USE ONLY - MANDATORY CREDIT -
More Information
Scientists thrilled: Researchers hail the discovery, which could bring about a new era of technology. A8
Scientists disappointed: Texas had a shot at the discovery a decade earlier, but Congress pulled the plug. B5
Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland said Wednesday that they had discovered a new subatomic particle that looks like the Higgs boson, a potential key to an understanding of why elementary particles have mass and of the existence of diversity and life in the universe.
First proposed as a theory in the 1960s, the particle had been hunted by at least two generations of physicists who believed that it would help shape our understanding of how the universe began and how its most elemental pieces fit together.
To get more insight into the discovery, Hearst Newspapers spoke with Paul Padley, a physicist at Rice University who has been involved in the experiments with CERN, also known as the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Q. What have you found?
A. In December, we showed the 2011 data, and that had hints that something was going on at a mass around 125 GeV (125 billion electron volts, a measure of mass in particle physics). Now we have more than doubled the data set and can say that we have seen a new particle. Something new and exciting has turned up in the data. This new particle is consistent with being a Higgs boson, but we can't actually tell yet if indeed that is what it is. We do know we are seeing something that has never been observed before.
Q. What is the significance of the find?
A. This could be the biggest physics discovery in 40 years. I suspect that 20 years from now, we will look back at this discovery and say that is the day we started modifying our picture of the universe.
Q. If you are seeing evidence of something in your data, why don't you directly say you are seeing evidence of the Higgs boson?
A. Well, there have been surprises in the past. For example, in 1935, Hideki Yukawa (a Japanese theoretical physicist) predicted the existence of a particle, now called the pion, based on trying to understand nuclear reactions. The next year, a particle was found in the right mass range. But further study showed that the particle that had been found did not have the right properties to be a pion, and instead was something completely unexpected, the muon. That was a revolutionary discovery, and a surprise. The pion was discovered ultimately in 1947. So are we seeing evidence of a Higgs boson or something new and surprising? We won't be able to say yet. We are going to have to study this thing further.
Q. Where does the research go from here?
A. First, we have to study in detail what we have found. We need to definitively establish whether it is a Higgs boson or not. If it is not a Higgs boson, well then that is very profound and we will have entered an era of completely new physics. If it is a Higgs boson, then we will want to understand it in detail and look for clues that will help us understand the universe better. The Higgs boson should play a fundamental role in the formation of the universe and the laws of nature. Either way, this is an amazing discovery.

The Intermedia MFA has launched a new web site this week with many new features. It includes an INTERMEDIA space gallery section and a featured student section, as well as a lot of other great resources and information about their growing program.
The University of Maine President Robert Kennedy, and the Dickinson College President William Durden, have signed an articulation agreement to formalize academic collaboration in areas of mutual strength and interest. The new arrangement will facilitate priority admission of Dickinson students into the UMaine Master of Arts in Global Policy program in the School of Policy and International Affairs (SPIA).
Beginning in the fall of 2011, eligible Dickinson graduates can begin academically preparing for a fifth-year Master's of Global Policy degree at UMaine, which they could earn in 15 months of graduate study, according to Jim Settele, assistant director of SPIA. Dickinson students who are conditionally accepted into the program would take courses during their senior year that would be applied toward the master's degree upon matriculation at UMaine. Similarly, UMaine students interested in pursing a master's in global policy through SPIA also could begin preparing as undergraduates for the "four-plus-one" program.
For the full story, please click here.
The Graduate School is proud to unveil the inaugural edition of their newsletter The Higher Degree. The newsletter will be published every September and January and includes information for everyone. Enjoy!
All are invited to attend a presentation and roundtable discussion on Global Environmental Security on October 25-26 sponsored by the School of Policy & International Affairs (SPIA) at the University of Maine in collaboration with the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, and the Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Happy birthday, Samuel L. Jackson! We can barely believe that Hollywood's baddest motherf—ing actor is turning 65 today, and we figure he has to be celebrating in the most awesome way imaginable. We decided to mark the day by looking back at the actor's roles where he takes heads, lays down the law, and sometimes, gets downright devious.
With more than 100 film parts under his belt, it wasn't easy to narrow down the characters through which Sam exhibited his signature badassery. And even with the actor playing both good guys and bad guys, we were still able to pinpoint the most hardcore roles. Plus, we mined some of his lesser-known parts in some of Hollywood's biggest films to see if you can remember when he popped up.
So whether he's going for comedy or for drama, Samuel L. Jackson manages to always deliver what we want. Click through the pages of the post to see clips from the roles we've chosen and remember, many of them are laced with the profanity that made us fall in love with Sam Jack in the first place!

Repertoire List
Acknowledging Diversity in Two-Year Choral Programs. The repertoire and standards committee also recognizes the need for flexibility in programming quality choral music in the two-year college, and acknowledges that the diversity of programs in our institutions also may imply that works from the advanced high school repertoire may be frequently the most appropriate selection for some programs; for other choral programs and specific ensembles, the consistent choice of selections from the standard repertoire Four-Year Colleges and University repertoire may be most appropriate. The frequent existence of "blended ensembles" in two-year colleges (such as the combination of an undergraduate choral ensemble and a college's community choir) is also acknowledged by the committee as often desirable and sometimes essential to the functioning of a two-year choral program; repertoire for such ensembles should reflect the skill level and potential of such an ensemble, and may benefit from considering repertory choices not specific to this R&S area.
These situations notwithstanding, the Two-Year R&S committee defines and limits itself to the choice and recommendation of quality works in this area which are determined as works which should specifically characterize the choral music performed ensembles of freshman and sophomore-year college students. In theory, such works must in themselves encourage healthful, musical, intelligent, and beautiful choral singing in well-guided two-year college choral programs.

Annual Report on the Freedom of Information Act
for Fiscal Year 2003[*]
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
The following information is submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552(e)) (FOIA), as amended.
I. Basic Information Regarding Report
A. The Board's contact person for questions about this report is Ms. Jeanne M. McLaughlin, Manager, Freedom of Information Office, Mail Stop 132, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20551; Tel: 202-452-3684;TDD 202-263-4869; FAX: 202-872-7565.
B. The electronic address for this report on the Board's World Wide Web site is: http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/foia/anrpt_2003.htm.
C. A paper copy of this report may be obtained by downloading it from the Board's Web site (see I.B. above) or requesting it from the Board's Freedom of Information Office (Tel: 202-452-3684) (see I.A. above).
II. How to Make a FOIA Request
A. The Board's Guide to Requesting Records or Information provides information on the Board's duties, sources of records and information, a description of the types of documents maintained by the Freedom of Information Office, and a brief description of how to make a FOIA request. The Federal Reserve does not have individual agency components or offices that receive FOIA requests; all requests may be made in writing to Ms. Jennifer J. Johnson, Secretary of the Board, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20551 or electronically at http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/foia/EFOIA/EFOIAForm.cfm. The Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco also provide certain public information and public portions of applications filed with a particular Reserve Bank.
B. The Board makes every effort to comply with the statutory time period for responding to FOIA requests. Approximately 99 percent of the 847 simple requests processed and approximately 51 percent of the 518 complex requests processed in Fiscal Year were responded to within the statutory time period.
C. Some FOIA requests are granted in part or not granted because the information requested falls within one of nine FOIA exemptions or certain exclusions. The types of information that the Board most often withheld involved trade secrets and privileged or confidential commercial or financial information (Exemption 4); certain interagency and intra-agency predecisional deliberative communications (Exemption 5); information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties (Exemption 6); and examination, operating, and condition reports relating to financial institutions (Exemption 8). All information withheld was reviewed for compliance with the requirement in subsection (b) of FOIA to provide all reasonably segregable nonexempt information and with policy guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice.
III. Definition of Terms and Acronyms Used in the Report
A. Agency-specific acronyms or other terms.
1. Board--Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
2. FOIA--Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552)
3. FY--Fiscal year, which covers the period from October 1 to September 30
4. PA--Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a)
B. Basic terms, expressed in common terminology.
1. FOIA/PA request--Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act request--a FOIA request is generally a request for access to records concerning a third party, an organization, or a particular topic of interest. A PA request is a request for records concerning oneself; such requests are also treated as FOIA requests. (All requests for access to records, regardless of which law is cited by the requester, are included in this report).
2. Initial request--a request to the Board for access to records under the FOIA.
3. Appeal--a request to the Board to review at a higher administrative level a full denial or partial denial of access to records under the FOIA or any other FOIA determination, such as a matter pertaining to fees.
4. Processed request or appeal--a request or appeal for which the Board has taken a final action on the request or the appeal in all respects.
5. Multitrack processing--a system in which simple requests requiring relatively minimal review are placed in one processing track and more voluminous and complex requests are placed in one or more other tracks. Requests in each track are processed on a first-in/first-out basis. A less complicated complex request, however, may be completed faster than an earlier-received more complex request. A requester who has an urgent need for records may request expedited processing (see III.B.6 below).
6. Expedited processing--the Board will process a FOIA request on an expedited basis when a requester has shown an exceptional need or urgency for the records that warrants processing his or her request ahead of other requests that were made earlier. The Board also has a policy of processing requests for the public portion of an application filed under its Regulation Y (12 CFR 225) within three business days of receiving the request. These requests are classified as simple requests (see III.B.7 below) in the Board's tracking systems.
7. Simple request--a FOIA request that the Board, which uses multitrack processing, places in its fastest (non-expedited) track based on the volume and/or simplicity of records requested. A simple request usually involves records that are readily identifiable by the Board's Freedom of Information Office and that have been cleared previously for public release.
8. Complex request--a FOIA request that the Board, which uses multitrack processing, places in a slower track based on the volume and/or complexity of records requested. A complex request is a request that does not qualify as simple request and is processed under the Board's normal procedures, unless the request has been accorded expedited processing.
9. Grant--a decision by the Board to disclose all records in full in response to a FOIA request.
10. Partial grant--a decision by the Board to disclose a record in part in response to a FOIA request, deleting information determined to be exempt under one or more of the FOIA's exemptions; or a decision to disclose some records in their entirety but to withhold others in whole or in part.
11. Denial – A decision by the Board not to release any part of a record or records in response to a FOIA request because all the information in the requested records is determined by the Board to be exempt under one or more of the FOIA's exemptions or for some procedural reason (such as because no record is located in response to a FOIA request).
12. Time limits--the time period in the FOIA for a federal agency, including the Board, to respond to a FOIA request (ordinarily twenty working days from proper receipt of a "perfected" FOIA request (see III.B 13 and 17 below)). Note: the Board's response times in Part VII below are, in accordance with U.S. Department of Justice guidance, expressed in calendar days. The overall working day equivalent can be approximately calculated by multiplying the calendar day total by 0.7 (thus, ten calendar days equate to approximately seven working days, although the precise mix of working and nonworking days can vary from request to request on the date of receipt and the proximity to a holiday).
13. "Perfected" request--a FOIA request for records that adequately describes the records sought, that has been received by the Board and for which there is no remaining question about the payment of applicable fees.
14. Exemption 3 statute--a separate federal statute prohibiting the disclosure of a certain type of information and authorizing its withholding under the FOIA subsection (b)(3).
15. Median number--the middle, not average, number. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the median number is 7.
16. Average number--the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the average number is 8.
17. Working days--days excepting Saturday, Sunday, and legal public holidays. As noted, the Board's response times in Part VII below are expressed in median calendar days, and the number of working days would be somewhat less.
IV. Exemption 3 Statutes
During FY 2003, the Board denied in full on one occasion and partially denied on one occasion the disclosure of records under Exemption 3 (5 U.S.C. §552 (b)(3)) because the material consisted of grand jury information that the Board is prohibited from releasing under Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

A. iberus is an eurythermic and euryhaline cyprinodontid which mainly inhabits brackish water of salt marshes, coastal lagoons and river-mouths (Moreno-Amich et al. 1999, Oltra & Todolí 2000), although it also occurs in freshwater and/or low salinity creeks.
The biology of the species is characterized by fast growth and reduced longevity (Agemax < 2+) (García-Berthou & Moreno-Amich 1992, Vargas & De-Sostoa 1997, García-Berthou et al. 1999).
A.iberus has not shown a wide trophic spectrum; it has an omnivorous diet with temporal variations.
Preys are mainly crustaceans and insects only represented 15% of his diet (Vargas & De Sostoa 1999).
Males (total length max ≤ 40 mm) are smaller overall than females (total length max ≤ 55 mm).
Up to 2 years.
As an euryhaline they tolerate an extraordinary range of salinity with a range of mechanisms to mantain homeostasis such as in excretion (Oliva-Paterna et al. 2007).

By Alison Robertson, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology
Not surprisingly, the hot dry conditions we have been experiencing across the Corn Belt have many farmers and the grain industry concerned about aflatoxin, a potent mycotoxin that is produced by the fungal pathogen, Aspergillus flavus, which causes Aspergillus ear rot.
This article will briefly summarize the biology of Aspergillus ear rot, aflatoxin production and management recommendations for the next few weeks of this growing season.
Aspergillus ear rot is an olive-green powdery mold (Figure 1), not to be confused with Penecillium ear rot, a powdery denim-blue mold. Higher aflatoxin levels are associated with discolored, shriveled kernels that are often found near the tip of the ear.
Figure 1. Characteristic signs of Aspergillus ear rot
Infection of corn by A. flavus and consequent disease development is favored by hot (>86F) dry conditions at pollination and during grain fill. Yellow brown silks are most susceptible to infection. Spores landing on the silks germinate, rapidly grow down the silk and colonize the surface of the developing kernels. Around physiological maturity, when moisture content (MC) drops to around 32 percent, the fungus starts to colonize the internal tissues of the kernels, and it continues to grow until MC is around 15 percent.
Aflatoxin is a secondary metabolite that is produced by A. flavus under certain conditions. Drought and high temperatures (80 to 105F) during grain fill are the most common factors associated with pre-harvest aflatoxin production. Warm nights (>70F) may can also increase risk of aflatoxin contamination.
Toxin production depends on kernel moisture and temperature. As kernel moisture decreases, aflatoxin production increases. Toxin production is highest at 20 to 18 percent kernel moisture and stops at around 15 percent moisture. Aflatoxin production occurs between 52 and 104F with the optimum temperature range being 77 to 95F.
Because aflatoxins are associated with Aspergillus ear rot, farmers can scout for the ear rot. From dent through to harvest, several (five to 10) locations in a field should be assessed. Target areas of the field with plants that appear most stressed. At each location, peel back the husks of 10 ears and inspect them for olive-green powdery mold (Figure 1) that is characteristic of the ear rot. If greater than 10 percent of the ears show signs of Aspergillus ear rot, schedule the field for an early harvest.
Notify your insurance adjuster immediately if you have fields with Aspergillus ear rot. Infested fields need to be inspected before harvest or strips left in the field for a claim to be made.
Harvest grain at approximately 20 to 25 percent moisture. Adjust combine settings to ensure minimal damage to the grain. Damaged grain is at risk to infection by A. flavus in storage.
Cool and dry grain to 16 percent moisture or less immediately. One study showed that if corn grain at 21 percent MC was put in bin at 86F and cooled with air immediately, little fungal growth was detected and no aflatoxin was produced. If cooling was delayed 20 to 40 h, the fungus grew and aflatoxin was detected.
Thanks to Tom Isakeit at Texas A & M for reviewing an earlier draft of this article and sharing his experiences with aflatoxin.

We see too many birds that have been purchased at other shops or through other breeders that either were not a good "fit", or were impulse buys. At African Grey we will not sell to impulse buyers. We sell only to serious buyers who have done their homework about what kind of bird they are looking for, and about birds in general and the kind of commitment they require.
We believe that in order for a complete bonding experience to occur, from the human's side, it is necessary for the buyer to finish or at least take part in the handfeeding process. We at African Grey never, ever force-wean a baby bird. We allow our birds to handfeed as long as they wish. We do not feel that a buyer wants to hang around African Grey for six months or longer while their baby bird is being weaned. So, with our larger birds (conures and up), we teach the buyer how to handfeed so they may take their baby home in a timely manner. This way they can finish the handfeeding and gain the joy that experience entails. We feel the bonding is much more intense from the human side, and very rarely do we get one of our babies back. We require frequent weight checks, and if a baby is not maintaining weight, we take the baby back until the weight stabilizes and re-teach the owner proper handfeeding techniques. We require at least six to eight handfeeding sessions with the buyer, and only when they are comfortable feeding and we are comfortable with their handfeeding techniques, then we send the baby home. The baby must be perching well enough to be in a caged environment, and must be eating on their own. We will not send home baby budgies, cockatiels, or lovebirds until they are fully weaned, as they are difficult to handfeed, and usually wean quickly.

Xcode 4: Add Build Carbon Resources Build Phase
Hi All
I've just migrated to Xcode 4 and I need to add "Build Carbon Resources" build phase to my project. It appears Ok (and does what it should) when I open old prjs (from Xcode 3), however I can't add it to a new prj, the menu "Add Build Carbon Resources Build Phase" is disabled. How can I enable it?
should work like this
You are required to create a file with the same name as your "factoryFunction" ... file extension ".r "
Well, this worked for me.

Comic Strip Factory (the new Comic Strip Factory) is currently under development by DWDurkee, LLC. It runs on Macintosh computers (64-bit models) running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later.
Comic Strip Factory is designed to allow even those without any drawing ability to create great comic strips. It will come with a set of characters broken down into parts, with numerous facial expressions and body positions that you can assemble easily in unique ways to tell your own stories. In time you'll be able to buy more characters to expand the creative possibilities even further. And those with the talent for drawing comic characters will be able to create their own characters for their own use or to share. There will even be an opportunity to make money from your character designs by selling them through our in-app character store (which we expect to add after version 1.0).

Skye is tough as nails as she protects her daughter from her father, Elizabeth and the baby go home, and Sonny has a fussy new neighbor.
Skye and Lorenzo are snuggling in bed as the new day begins. She says that the only thing that could make today better would be if their daughter was with them. He assures her that Lila will be with them within the hour. Skye can't hold her tears back as Lorenzo assures her that they are about to start a new life together. She says that she just wants to let go of the past and move on.
Liz is telling her new son that they can go home from the hospital today. Then she says that his daddy -- Jason -- wants him to have a happy and safe life. Emily peeks her head in the door and asks Liz what she's telling Jake about Jason? Liz says that Jason made sure that they made it to the hospital on time and she wants her son to know that. Emily says that Jason loves kids and hopefully, he'll get to spend some time with "this little guy." Later, Epiphany comes in and tells Elizabeth that she needs one more signature and then they are free to go. As Elizabeth starts to talk about how excited Lucky is for them all to be under one roof, Epiphany gets curt and tells Liz that she has been blessed with a healthy baby and how she raises him is none of her business! Liz is stumped by Epiphany's attitude.
Sonny tells Jason that as soon as he gets the phone call from Skye, it's time to spring into action. Jason says that as soon as Lorenzo is dead, they have to deal with Jerry. Then he tells Sonny how Jerry is using Emily as insurance and Sonny can't believe that Emily is caught up in the middle of it, but he reminds Jason to focus on the job at hand. Then Diane arrives and isn't pleased to have been called at 6 am. Sonny tells her that he didn't appreciate his kids waking up to the sound of a helicopter landing on the roof of the house next to his either. He insists that she put a stop to that ASAP. Diane comments that Sonny must have a very important neighbor.
Sonny's very important neighbor, Kate Howard, is walking through the palatial foyer of her new home and ordering her assistant to have the entire house redesigned from the ground up. Starting -- with the giant gray marble wall that lines the grounds of the home next door. The assistant points out that the homeowner might not be too happy about it and Kate says that he has never dealt with her before!
Jason goes to the hospital to find Emily. She tells him that she knows James Craig is Jerry Jax and explains that she had no choice but to co-sign his illegitimate wire transfers. Jason wishes she would've come to him first, but he vows to get her out of this mess. Emily reminds Jason that their dad wouldn't want him to kill someone to avenge his death.
Sam hears Amelia giving notice to Brandon - the network guy. Amelia turns to Sam and says that she's had a gun pointed at her head three times already since working near Jason Morgan and she's can't work that way any longer. She leaves in a huff and Brandon tells Sam that she won't have a show if she doesn't find a way to get Amelia back to work. Sam rushes to find Amelia, but it's no use. Amelia says that no one should live with such danger. She says that unless Sam is willing to break up with Jason, they are both in danger. After more arguing, Sam convinces Amelia to stay under the condition that there are no more guns. She is elated and runs off to talk to Jason. Amelia tells her assistant that she wasn't really going to quit, she just wanted to see if Sam was hooked (on being a TV star) or not. And since she is, it will really hurt when it all blows up in her face.
Another helicopter drops off some magazine layouts to Kate's house as Diane and Sonny come into her house and tell her to stop with the helicopters already. Kate and Sonny are both surprised to learn that they are neighbors and Kate says, "I suppose this explains the penitentiary next door." He tells Diane to leave them alone so they can talk.
Three really hot girls come into the hospital and ask for Dr. Patrick Drake. One of them twisted their ankle and the head football coach at PCU referred them. Robin says that's strange because they need an ortho guy, not a neurosurgeon. Patrick says that since a colleague gave his name, he can look at the ankle. She puts her long, lovely leg in the air as Patrick looks at her ankle. Then, he puts her in a wheelchair and her two friends come along as they wheel down the hall to an examination room.
Skye is anxiously awaiting Lila's arrival. Lorenzo brings Lila in and she joyfully holds the sweet little girl in her arms. Then she says that it's nap time and if Lila doesn't get a nap she'll be fussy for the entire flight. As she goes upstairs, Lorenzo tells her that he knows it's hard for her to leave Port Charles. she kisses Lorenzo and says that she's ready to "get it over with". Once she's gone upstairs, Lorenzo tells the bodyguard that he is not to let Skye leave the house in Venezuela alone because he's afraid she'll take Lila and run.
Sonny tells Kate that she's just Connie Falconneri, so why does she need a house this big. She corrects him by reminding him that it's an estate. She tells him that the Hamptons are too overcrowded and she'd like a "country" place to relax and entertain friends. After she remodels, that is. Sonny tells her that she'll go to jail if he hears that helicopter while his kids are trying to sleep again. He offers to pay her twice the amount she paid, but she won't budge. Just then Sonny's phone rings and he sees that it's Skye calling.
Jason stops by Elizabeth's room and hears that she and the baby are going home today. She says that Lucky and Cam are coming soon and this might be the last chance he has to hold his son for a while. Jason is happy to do it, but he's interrupted by Sonny's phone call telling him it's time to go to work.
Robin and Emily are talking at the nurse's station as Patrick and the 3 girls come back through. After the girls giggle and invite Patrick to come party with them sometime, Robin smacks him in the chest with some lab work. Patrick asks her if he was supposed to refuse treatment to a patient just because she was hot. He said he wasn't doing anything but looking. Robin tells him if he wants something to look at he needs to meet her at his place at 6!
Sonny has finished his phone call and Kate asks if he just ordered a hit or something. He says that he landed a coffee shipment, that's all. Diane comes into the room and gushes over Kate's March (Couture Magazine) issue, and then announces that the injunction has been put into place and helicopters are banned from within a mile radius of Sonny's house. Kate informs her that she and Mr. Corinthos were just about to arrange a compromise. Sonny assures Diane, in private, that he just likes to watch Miss Howard beg and that he won't give in. Soon, a lovely lunch complete with wine is served on the terrace and Sonny asks Kate if she can arrange for the helicopter to come on the South side of the grounds instead of her roof. Kate says it's workable, but he has to tear down the prison wall in exchange for a pretty white fence.
Lorenzo is upstairs with the baby while Skye slips downstairs to let Jason in. Then she goes back into the nursery and says all she has to do is get Lila ready and they can leave. Lorenzo hugs them both and goes downstairs to call the car. Calm as a cucumber, Skye sits in the rocking chair and sings "Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird" to Lilia until she hears the heavy thud from below.
Ric comes over looking for Alcazar.
Jason goes to Jax and Carly and demands to know where Jerry is.

The service was quick and it taste like real Chinese food!
Posted by Balian on 03/26/2013
So, I decided to give it another go last night, and lo and behold….pleasant service was received. The dumplings remain the best thing on the menu. The soups were good, and the pork with garlic sauce should now be renamed garlic with shredded pork. Now if they could only stop using so much celery and carrots in their dishes. If you tell them that you do not want celery and carrots, they will comply with your request. Welcome back Cottage.

Went their tonight with family. Ordered their fried dumpings and they were the best I've tasted in a long time. From other places the dough is too thick. The Cottage's is crispy, and fried perfectly. Also ordered their Lo mein, fried rice and beef with broccoli. Everything was perfect, inexpensive and delicious. Even my nine yr old loved it and he's the pickiest eater I know.

There are always reviews about restaurants that are negative, but it may also be the writer's personal taste. We have been in the neighborhood for 42 years and have eaten often at the Cottage or had it delivered. We have never been disappointed. Some things are better than others, but that is normal; not every dish can be perfect not even when you pay $200.00 or $300.00 for one meal.

Good value, good food, fast delivery. Solid place.
Posted by uwsss on 01/04/2013
The Cottage is the perfect place for guilty Chinese take out/delivery. Try the scallion pancakes, the sesame chicken, but above all order the corn, chicken and egg drop soup! Delish. You won't be sorry.

Sustainable Development
10:58 AM MDT | March 21, 2008 | Alex Scott with Michelle Bryner and Kerri Walsh and Survey Contribution From Pa Consulting
Sustainable development (SD) was once seen as a potential market barrier and cost issue for the chemical industry, but that view is quickly changing. The term—which the United Nation's defines as the growth of population, industry, and agriculture in a way that allows the present generation to meet its needs without compromising those of future generations—has been bantered around for years but the current focus on global environmental issues, including climate change, has put SD under a new spotlight, particularly at corporations. The result is...

central banking
Fundamentally flawed, among other things, is the Fed's bond buying program through the QEs to increase money supply. There is no dearth of money- companies have trillions of $s in cash!. The are unwilling to pump it into the market because of ineffectual and anti-business policies. If the policies promote spending and hiring by businesses, the economy will greatly improve.
The Fed's monetary policies have been effective and well thought-out. The Republicans' fiscal policies are the products of appalling ignorance. They have been destructive. If the Republicans and their clueless supporters would pipe down and let the grown-ups conduct fiscal policy, our economy would be in much better shape.
Still looser fiscal policy might have some short-term cyclical benefits, but the real problem will remain: $100 plus trillion national debt including unfunded liabilities.
With a present value nearing $1 million per family in public sector debt, this a country crusher.
Fix that, and Washington will earn some trust. But not until then.

Renowned silhouette artist, musician, storyteller and author Clay Rice invites you to "come on down" to Daniel Island for a family celebration of historic proportions. Rice will bring his talents to the Daniel Island Club on Thursday, June 6 in a special community event presented by the Daniel Island Historical Society (DIHS) and the Daniel Island Community Fund (DICF). Doors open at 6:45 p.m., and the program begins at 7 p.m.
"Clay's beautiful and unique silhouettes are part of a family tradition spanning three generations," said Lee Ann Bain, vice president of DIHS. "We are excited to be able to welcome him for his first performance on Daniel Island. This is definitely a 'not to be missed' opportunity for all ages!"
"The Daniel Island Community Fund proudly partners with island clubs and organizations to try and bring interesting cultural opportunities and events to Daniel Island to benefit our residents," added Jane Baker, vice president of community services for the Daniel Island Property Owners Association. "We are thrilled to be partnering this summer with the Daniel Island Historical Society to bring renowned Lowcountry artist and author Clay Rice to the Daniel Island Club!"
Described by author Pat Conroy as a "great talent who combines soul and passion," Clay Rice's prized silhouettes are collected worldwide. He estimates he has cut some 900,000 silhouettes since starting his career, inspired by his grandfather Carew Rice, some 30 years ago. A native of Charleston, Rice has wonderful memories of spending time as a young boy at the family home in Wiggins, S.C., a place he calls "the heart of the Lowcountry." He is also an accomplished author whose work has earned him a Moonbeam Children's Book Award and an IPPY Award for Children's Book of the Year. In addition to offering up his musical and storytelling talents, Rice will cut silhouettes for interested audience members for $42 each after the show. He will also be available to sign copies of his book and CDs (cash or check only).
Rice was thrilled to be invited to share his artistry by the Daniel Island Historical Society, an organization with a mission he wholeheartedly supports.
"It's absolutely vital and important to preserve our past and to promote our past," he said.
Tickets for this event are on sale now. Refreshments will be available for purchase during the program. They can be purchased for $10 each at Island Expressions or SunTrust Bank on Daniel Island, or by contacting Lee Ann Bain at 822-5248 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Story of Jalpaiguri21 Apr 2012, by Empowering Women, Made By Survivors Programs, modern day slavery in
Last week Team India traveled to an area of West Bengal called Jalpaiguri (located about 3 hours outside Darjeeling) to open the THIRD Made By Survivors Jewelry Training and Production Center! We are honored to be partnering with Womens Interlink Foundation again and based on the success of the first jewelry center with WIF, in Kolkata, we anticipate great things ahead.
In part one of a five part blog series about the opening of the new center, Asia Program Director Paul Suit, walks you through the background of why trafficking is such a problem in this area of India.
The Background
Located about 3 hours outside Darjeeling and near the borders of the Indian states of Sikkim, Bihar, Jharkhand and Assam, and the international borders of Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan, this area is a major transit, destination and source for trafficking.
According to the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) Annual Report on Trafficking in India, "Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling, which are located in the north of West Bengal, have long faced problems of unsafe out-migration by individuals bound for Kolkata and other metropolitan cities in search of livelihood opportunities. Kolkata for example, is generally considered as a major trafficking destination and center for brothel-based prostitution, along with Mumbai and Delhi. Trafficking of girls and women coming from the tea estates of these districts is prevalent."
Destination: The areas major economy is tea plantations which are notorious for bonded, child and forced labor. Women and young children are ideal tea pickers due to the small size of their fingers and hands. This allows them to pick tea leaves easier and quicker and when you add in the marginalization that is common among these groups of people in India (and the surrounding countries), you can see why it's so easy, and profitable, for traffickers to prey on people in this area. Women and girls are taken from other areas or countries and shipped to Jalpaiguri to work on the tea plantations for as little as 50 Rupees ($1) per day – if they are paid at all.
Source: Jalpaiguri is a very remote area with little to no infrastructure to support anything other than tea plantations and the occasional nature preserve. Schools are very basic and are usually government run which lack basic supplies and rarely pay their teachers (who often don't show up for this reason). Due to these factors the opportunities for education and employment are almost nonexistent. This makes exploiting people all the more easier. The less educated a person is the more vulnerable they are to exploitation. The fewer employment opportunities there are the easier it is to pull a person into an exploitative situation. Many people are tricked into believing they are gaining a good job working for a tea plantation when in fact they are being enslaved without even realizing it.
Transit: Bordering three of the worlds most notorious countries for trafficking, Jalpaiguri finds itself in one of the most important transit areas in all of Southeast Asia. With little to no border security or control it is very easy to transport people in and out of India through this region. Jalpaiguri typically serves as a transit route for girls trafficked from Bhutan and Assam, with many of the girls ending up in brothels in major cities throughout India. Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling have an influx of children both from neighboring countries and neighboring Indian states
As you can see the need for both NGO and Government agencies to get to work and address these issues is vital. However, very few resources (either from NGO's or the Government) ever reach the area.
Womens Interlink Foundation has been one of the few NGO's operating in the area and have been doing so for several years. Currently they manage three shelter homes as well as programs that provide training for border patrol agents and local law enforcement. WIF and Made By Survivors are raising funds for a new building that WIF is planning that will consolidate the current shelter homes and house over 100 girls as well as various income generation projects such as the jewelry program. To learn more about the Free Forever Campaign click here http://www.madebysurvivors.com/freeforever. You can also view a short video about the campaign here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRMDW98FDG0&feature=player_embedded
Part two of our blog series, "The Story of Jalpaiguri", will be published Thursday…here is a preview…..
It takes the overnight train about 10 hours to reach New Jalpaiguri (NJP) train station from Kolkata and it can be a tough journey. Train cars are often packed to capacity with families, businessmen and tourists all trying to get a decent nights sleep and be as fresh as possible upon arrival in the morning. This is rarely the case of course and most people arrive with very few hours (if any) of sleep under the belt. Bleary eyed, hungry and in need of a shower people stumble out of the train car and find their way through the bustling crowds to try and find their bus, taxi or if they're lucky, private car.
Thanks and please share……
Paul Suit

Hi - I have a question on bloomfilter storage in 1.2. If it is off heap, where exactly is it stored ? In the RAM ?
Bloomfilter which does not fit in RAM (ram being full), it is paged in/out ?
What I am observing is that with increase in data per node (500GB->1TB->2TB), the read performance degrades.

The Canucks have a frustrating tendency to play to the level of their opponents. Against top tier teams, the Canucks have pulled out some remarkable performances this season. They're undefeated against the Blackhawks, Blues, Islanders, Penguins, and Capitals, for example.
And yet, the Canucks have had some of their worst games of the season against some of the worst teams in the league. They lost to the Devils and Sabres on their recent road trip, lost their only meeting with the Maple Leafs, and have lost twice to the Stars.
So, when the Coyotes entered this game on a 10-game losing streak, with Mikkel Boedker and Martin Hanzal on the Injured Reserve list, and Antoine Vermette, Zbynek Michalek, and Keith Yandle plying their trade in other cities after the trade deadline, I was concerned.
My concerns were borne out when I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
The big story of the game wasn't the surprising number of goals or the still-struggling power play. It wasn't Martin Hanzal, who injured three different Canucks with cross-checks in the last game between these two teams, with all three missing this game — Henrik Sedin and Mike Santorelli due to the injuries caused by Hanzal, with David Booth a healthy scratch. The big story wasn't even the sub-par goaltending from two players heading to Sochi for Team Canada.
Nope, the big story was a smudge on the main camera on Sportsnet Pacific's broadcast that, although it did not obscure view of the play, was impossible to ignore once you noticed it on your own or it was pointed out by someone else. This small annoyance became a big bother as the game progressed, to the point that Sportsnet Pacific felt the need to tweet out during the first intermission that the smudge had been cleaned.
One problem: it hadn't. The smudge was still there during the second period and wasn't cleaned until the second intermission. I spent two-thirds of the time dighting the urge to obsessive-compulsively clean my TV as I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
The Canucks and the NHL spent most of this week making a big promotional push for the upcoming Heritage Classic. That in mind, we probably should have expected the first game after tickets became available to continue the promotional push. Back at Rogers Arena after a successful road trip, the Canucks did everything short of giving away the win to make fans rue their homecoming. They played a snoozefest of a game in the building, then reminded fans of the last brutal homestand by squandering a two-goal lead late before gutting out the win in overtime.
It was yet another reminder that, for whatever reason, this team isn't very good at Rogers Arena. If only there was another building… Say! There is! And on March 3, the Canucks will be there. It'll be like an away game, but at home! Tickets are still available. I watched this [Heritage Classic commercial] game.Continue Reading —›
Every Wednesday we take a look at The Week Ahead to see what storylines we'll be following, because Wednesday is a day meant for looking ahead to the future. Around here we call Wednesday "Future Day" and we all wear silver jumpsuits and big bubble space helmets. Doesn't everybody do that?Continue Reading —›
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was really looking forward to Monday night's preseason game. I know, I know. Exhibition games aren't something one generally looks forward to (unless you have tickets and they were cheap), what with their absence of things like meaning, effort, or good hockey players. But after the shenanigans that spilled out of Saturday's game versus the Oilers and filled the last two days with bickering and suspensions — after 48 hours of hearing from Edmonton fans with nauseating regularity — I was glad to see the puck drop on a new game.
As it turns out, my optimism was warranted. For the first time this preseason, the Canucks showed up, scoring six goals, and looking like a team that, at the very least, can beat up on a mixed roster of Phoenix Coyotes and non-NHLers wearing Phoenix Coyotes uniforms. And I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
With 8 games remaining in the regular season, it seems fairly certain that the Canucks will once again win the Northwest division. The Canucks are trending in the right direction with the addition of Derek Roy and the return of Ryan Kesler and are now six points up on the second place Minnesota Wild, who have lost four of their last five games.
Since the Canucks aren't likely to catch the Anaheim Ducks, who are seven points ahead, in the standings, the Canucks will finish as the third seed in the Western Conference and face the sixth seed in the first round of the playoffs. At this point, any one of six teams could finish sixth in the West: the Kings, Sharks, Blues, Wild, Red Wings, and Coyotes, with the outside possibility of the Stars or Blue Jackets.
So, which of those teams would the Canucks rather play in the first round? Who would they rather avoid?Continue Reading —›
The Canucks have been in a lot of low-scoring games lately, but this one felt different. Prior games have been snoozefests — actually, scratch that. A snoozefest sounds amazing. Think about it: an entire festival dedicated to sleeping? That's a yes. Sleep is fantastic. Snoozefest is the wrong word. But the prior games have been mundane.
This one wasn't. The Canucks dominated the Coyotes for the majority of the night, peppering Mike Smith like he was a Caesar salad and they were the waiter at an Olive Garden. With a lesser goaltender in the opposition end, this might have been a blowout. But Smith kept the Coyotes close. By the end of the night, Phoenix had come to rely on him so thoroughly that, when he left the goal for the extra attacker, they got confused and scared and scored on themselves. Related: I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
By all accounts, this game should have been a gong show. David Booth joined Ryan Kesler on the Injured Reserve list, Zack Kassian and Steve Pinizzotto didn't even fly to Phoenix, and Chris Higgins tweaked his back at the morning skate, turning the Canucks' lineup into the hockey equivalent of Aziz Ansari's boombox mixtape.
Like that mixtape, the Canucks' third line seemed to be thrown together at random, with Andrew Ebbett centring Dale Weise and Keith Ballard. Andrew Gordon drew into the lineup for his first game as a Canuck on a fourth line with Maxim Lapierre and Tom Sestito. The haphazardly arranged lineup looked like a disaster on paper, but the Canucks knuckled down and played a simple, hard-working road game.
That isn't to say it didn't have its bizarre moments, as it certainly did. At times, this game resembled the Coyotes' original, seemingly peyote-inspired, jerseys. I reached a higher plane of existence when I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
Don't despair just because the Canucks didn't win this game. In fact, it's good that they didn't. Hear me out: In 2010, the Canucks were blown out by a Central Division team — the Chicago Blackhawks, in a 7-1 debacle — then went on to face the Phoenix Coyotes in their next game. They played much better, but still lost. But then they got their act together and immediately went on a run that culminated in a Stanley Cup Final appearance!
Wouldn't you know it, just two nights ago the Canucks were blown out by another Central Division team — the Detroit Red Wings, 8-3. And here they are in their next game, versus the Phoenix Coyotes. Again, they lost. But this can only mean that history is repeating itself and they're definitely going on another Cup run this spring. There's no other conclusion to reach. Rejoice, friends, just as I did when I watched this game!Continue Reading —›
It can be tough watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Canucks having already been eliminated. While the games are still entertaining, it's just not the same without a proverbial horse in the race. Cheering against the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings only gets you so far.
Fortunately for the dedicated Canucks fan, there are three significant former Canucks still in the playoff picture. At the very least, Canucks fans can cheer for the individual success of Willie Mitchell, Taylor Pyatt, and Steve Bernier. I thought it would be worthwhile to look at these three players and see how they got to where they are and how they have found a place with their respective teams where, perhaps, they were not able to on the Canucks.Continue Reading —›
Lovers of high-tempo, offensive hockey were dreading this game, considering the two previous meetings between these teams were 1-1 affairs that both went to the shootout. Those who were not anticipating offence may have forgotten that Phoenix and Vancouver combined for 75 shots in their last matchup and a combination of stellar goaltending and bad bounces were the only reason 9 goals weren't scored.
But 9 goals were scored in this game, meaning that the goaltending wasn't stellar and the bounces weren't bad. Unless you recently travelled forward through time from the 80′s, in which case I mean the bounces were bad. They were the baddest. Totally tubular, in fact. I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
For the second time in as many weeks, the Canucks faced a fellow Western Conference division leader, though this meeting was a little less hyped than the previous one. Last week, the Canucks visited the leaders of the Central Division, the Detroit Red Wings, in a game that was everything a fan could ask for in terms of entertainment. This week, they faced the Pacific Division leading Phoenix Coyotes. The Coyotes are like a magic trick with just a pledge and a turn: no prestige.
That said, the Coyotes entered the game as the hottest team in the league, with a 10-0-1 record in their last 11, making them a tough test for the road-weary Canucks. There was also the intrigue of seeing the newly acquired Sami Pahlsson and Zack Kassian wear the Scowling Orca for the first time. I watched this game.Continue Reading —›
After rediscovering even-strength scoring like Josiah, the boy king, stumbling across the Talmud in the treasure room of the temple, the Canucks stormed into Phoenix intent on proving that they had truly dispensed with their wicked powerplay-idolizing ways, and returned to the righteous 5-on-5 domination for which they once lived. Five even-strength goals later, it was clear they had indeed repented, and thank God. Suffice it to say, the Canuck team that dominates at even-strength is a much more entertaining watch, and I should know, because I watched this game.Continue Reading —›

Have you seen the Canucks' schedule in March? They're away quite a bit. They play 15 times in 31 days, with 9 of those contests in other people's buildings, as part of two lengthy road trips.

That really is too good [...]Continue Reading —›
Canucks 6 – 0 Coyotes As a Canucks fan, it is thoroughly disorienting to cheer for the best team in the league.

Ron Wilson's family farm announces closing
WOODRUFF - Live Oaks Farm in Spartanburg County, run by family members of accused Anderson County Ponzi scheme operator Ron Wilson, has announced it is closing by the end of the month.
Opened three years ago, the farm has offered organic and local food including cheese and meat along with farm tours and a barn for weddings. This week, the farm's Facebook page notified its hundreds of customers that the entire farm would be shut down by the end of the month.
"After only three short years we are saying thank you and goodbye," the post said. "We love you all so very much and really appreciate your unwavering support!"
The farm is operated by Wilson's wife Cassie Wilson and her daughter Alison Schaum. A Live Oaks storefront in Easley was set to open in March but days before the opening it was searched by U.S. marshals who also searched the next-door investment business belonging to Ron Wilson. It never opened.
Former Anderson County council member Ron Wilson is charged with mail fraud and he is accused of running a $90 million silver investment business, Atlantic Bullion & Coin, which had taken investments from people in at least 25 states.
The farm has been listed on seizure documents since April, as one of numerous properties that could be used to pay alleged victims of Wilson's business.
Wilson is scheduled to appear at a pretrial conference July 30 in the Greenville federal courthouse.
Alleged victims and those interested in buying items from the farm are encouraged to visit a website set up by court-appointed receiver Beattie Ashmore. The website is at http://www.receiverwilsonabc.com/ and Ashmore's team also can be reached by calling 864-271-8200.
