Sherman Cochran and David Strand, Editors. Cities in Motion: Interior, Coast, and Diaspora in Transnational China
Lary, Diana, China Review International
Sherman Cochran and David Strand, editors. Cities in Motion: Interior, Coast, and Diaspora in Transnational China. Berkeley: University of California, Centre for Chinese Studies, 2011. 313 pp. Paperback $25.00, ISBN 978-1-557-29089-2.
This is a bold and fascinating collection of essays by a group of distinguished authors who work in different areas of modern Chinese history. The themes that join their work together are movement and migration. The volume makes a strong and direct recognition of the key role of migration, in all its forms, in modern Chinese history. It goes far beyond the standard treatments of migration in Chinese history, where migration usually refers to overseas Chinese and ignores movement within China. This treatment accepts tacitly the Confucian convention that people are so tightly stuck to their home places that migration is not something that they do willingly, but only when forced to do so. Actual history shows exactly the opposite, that people have been on the move since prehistorical times, that the movements are voluntary as well as forced, and that successive governments have been the major sponsors of migration, both to settle new lands and protect the borders, and also, coincidentally, as a means of punishment. This book rectifies the convention.
This book does something even more important than rectifying the stability convention. It expands the concept of migration from being limited to the movement of people to cover the movement of religions, commodities, ideas, customs, fashions, and a host of other influences. In a society so heavily influenced by ideas and religions that came in to China from outside (Buddhism, Islam, Marxism), this idea seems obvious, but it has often been ignored. This book provides all the evidence on the influence of migration, both within China and coming from outside. It has essays on the migration of ideas and religious beliefs (Robert Weller and Julia Huang); on migration and style (Vimalin Rujivacharakaul and Karl Gerth); on migration and war (Kristin Stapleton and Allison Rottman); on migration and gender (Madeline Hsu); on migration of systems (Klaus Muhlhahn); on money, trade, and migration (Breet Sheehan); and on migration after death (Caroline Reeves and Elizabeth Sinn). The essays are well written and well edited, which makes them much more lively and readable than is the case with many collections of essays.
Beyond the general theme of migration, the chapters are full of cross-cutting ideas, in which migration becomes the vehicle to discuss a host of other themes. One example is Madeline Hsu's penetrating study of the social lives of bachelor emigrants and the evolution of homosociality (this rather clunky word is used to describe the relations within all-male communities; it is distinct from homosexuality). All-male societies were common in China, from the army to monasteries to bandit/outlaw groups, and much of what Hsu has to say could be used in discussing them. Elizabeth Sinn and Caroline Reeves discuss the crucial importance of identity in terms of what happens to the remains of migrants after their death; the idea of being buried away from home was unthinkable until very recently. Sinn's article shows the complexity and sophistication of the mechanisms that took remains home. When remains are buried away from home, as in Vancouver today, it is a sign of a profound shift in identity, the recognition of a new home.
One addition to this book would be a clearer outline of the historical context and sequence. …

Re: Need some help with a college assignment!
Glad to hear it turned out okay!
Am I understanding correctly that the B-'s were the previous assignments, and the C was this one? Maybe your grading system is different, but I'm used to C being average (or, in some places with grade inflation, below average). I'm wondering how you concluded that a C means "either putting more effort in than the average student, or just have a knack for gender issues." Sounds like you were right in the middle of the pack. Which is fine. I'm not putting down the grade, just questioning the conclusion you drew from it.
BTW, I'm curious about the connection you apparently made between rape laws and body type/size, too. Care to explain?

Dear Nick,
I assume you are talking about the Benjamin Libet experiments in your first example and allude to the mirror neuron hypothesis with the second (for which numerous sources exist). I am less sure what sort of scientific contribution you specifically had in mind when you phrased the subsequent phenomena, as I find them a bit ambiguous.
As you may or may not know, I have a cognitive science background and moved into the presentation space. Would you be so kind and include some sort of references when you talk about communication and brain science to indulge my curiosity? I'm always trying to bridge that gap between theory and application, so if you came across something useful for me to dig my teeth into, I'd love to give it a try.

That All-English Dictionary Adds an All-American Coach
By JANNY SCOTT
Published: August 19, 2000
When the Oxford English Dictionary decided to open a North American office this year to document the evolution of American English from the thick of it, it engaged a young American lexicographer with impeccable credentials who also happened to be the author of a 288-page book on a certain unmentionable word.
Jesse Sheidlower, known far beyond the anonymous world of dictionary-making as an energetic and accessible expert on neologisms and slang, now sits ensconced in a building in Old Saybrook, Conn., which the O.E.D. shares with a hearing-aid company and a dentist, and toils over how best to define terms like ''McMansion,'' ''chowhound'' and ''jiggy.''
(As in ''gettin' jiggy wit' it.'')
Mr. Sheidlower works mostly alone, but invariably attired in a suit, a formal man with a visceral distaste for casual Friday and other evidence of shifting standards of appropriate dress. He has nevertheless spent his career tracking with equanimity the ceaseless mutation of the American language, often into zones that its stuffier defenders have scorned.
Nothing contradictory in that, he said recently.
''You can be interested in slang or dialect or things that people call ungrammatical but still think that there is a formal way of speech,'' said Mr. Sheidlower, who has something impish about him that is reminiscent of a young Michael Palin. ''Our entire conversation has been conducted in a relatively formal standard English despite the fact that I know a lot of words that will make people's hair crawl.
''Because that is what we do as intelligent adults in the sort of conversation we're having now: we use standard English. In the same way, I think it's terrific that they're making suits out there that don't have any --'' he paused, executing the rhetorical equivalent of a grimace ''-- sleeves, or whatever. But that's not what humans do.'' Humans wear suits with sleeves.
In lexicography, Mr. Sheidlower is an unusually public figure. In addition to having written ''The F-Word'' (Random House, 1995), he was the project editor of ''The Random House Dictionary of American Slang,'' the originator of a ''Word of the Day'' feature on the Internet (http://www.randomhouse.com) and the author of ''Jesse's Word of the Day: From Abacinate to Yonic'' (Random House, 1998).
He has written about language for periodicals ranging from The Atlantic Monthly to Dictionaries, the journal of the Dictionary Society of North America. He has served as the resident linguist on National Public Radio's ''Weekend Edition.'' He has written scholarly articles on such matters as the principles for the inclusion of new words in college dictionaries and the expression ''Not!'' (It antedates ''Wayne's World'' by a long shot. Theodore Dreiser, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edmund Wilson used it.)
''There is a kind of pixie-ish quality about Jesse, with his white shirt and bow tie in which he tells you things that he finds slightly embarrassing but he's sort of forced to tell you because it's all about words,'' said Richard W. Bailey, the vice president of the Dictionary Society of North America and a professor of English at the University of Michigan. ''It's as if every word had a closet and in that closet there are often skeletons. And Jesse has been there.''
Asked over lunch to describe a word whose definition had been giving him trouble, Mr. Sheidlower recounted the difficulty he was having defining the phrase ''bitch-slap.'' Connotationally, it means to slap a person; specifically, it is to slap a person as a pimp would slap a prostitute. But, he said, one cannot use a simile in a definition.
Can you bitch-slap a person anywhere or only in the face? he had wondered. With an open hand or the back of the hand? Can you bitch-slap a man or only a woman? Is it to hurt a person? No, it is to show social dominance. ''So all of these things have to be taken into account,'' Mr. Sheidlower said. ''And figuring out that this is what is going on takes thought and discussion.''
Among colleagues, Mr. Sheidlower's age has been a subject of curiosity.
''One of the mysteries, of course, is how old he is,'' said Mr. Bailey, who has known Mr. Sheidlower for 10 years but does not know the answer. ''I think there is a lot of wonderment and speculation about this, because he's been doing this work forever yet he looks as if he's 30. More people have said to me, 'How old is Jesse?' ''
Mr. Sheidlower grew up in the Five Towns area of Long Island, dreaming of astrophysics. His grandfather sold butterflies to collectors; his parents manufactured ant farms, rock tumblers and other science and nature toys. Intending to study science, Mr. Sheidlower went to the University of Chicago. Then he switched to classics and English.
After graduating, he spent a year at Trinity College, Cambridge, studying early English in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. He got a job in marketing at Alfred A. Knopf in Manhattan in 1991. Six months later, when a friend left the reference department at Random House, Mr. Sheidlower took his job and began his career in lexicography.

GREEN BAY – Joe Whitt is taking responsibility for Sam Shields' disappointing second season. Which is awfully nice of the Green Bay Packers cornerbacks coach, given what an appreciable step back Shields took last season after being a godsend as an undrafted rookie free agent during the team's Super Bowl XLV title run in 2010.
"Sam's problem was me. I did a poor job with Sam. I did a poor job with him. I took for granted that he knew or was going to know some things," Whitt said during the team's mandatory minicamp when asked why Shields, who served as the No. 3 cornerback in the Packers' nickel defense, regressed in Year 2. "He's still a young player. He's now a three-year defensive player. And I did a poor job with him.
"Like I said his rookie year, if he plays poor, well that's on me. He didn't play as well last year, and that's on me. He's going to play better, because I understand how to coach him and not take for granted some things that a guy who's played on defense a little bit longer just understands just from playing it. I did a poor job with him."
Something else that won't be taken for granted? Shields' spot on the depth chart. Whereas he went into training camp last year as the clear-cut third corner behind Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams, Shields will be in a battle when camp kicks off July 26.
The options? Jarrett Bush, who took a number of Shields' snaps in the team's NFC Divisional Playoff loss to the New York Giants; 2011 fourth-round pick Davon House, who essentially redshirted last year; rookie second-round pick Casey Hayward, whom the coaches like because he's not prone to mistakes.
"I'm not looking at that," Shields said of the competition. "I'm just trying to get better each day and get from the guys like Tramon and Wood, get with them guys.
"I don't look at last year. I just look at it whatever mistakes I had, I look at it this year as helping me out. And it's getting better and better every day."
While defensive coordinator Dom Capers said it didn't mean anything, Bush did appear to be ahead of Shields throughout organized team activity practices and the two open-to-the-public mandatory minicamp practices last month.
It is prudent to remember that Shields did spend his first three college seasons at Miami (Fla.) as a wide receiver, so he is still learning to play the position. That said, there's no room for excuses this year, especially with the coaching staff needing depth at corner in order to use Woodson the way they want to. Shields will not only have to improve in coverage, where he gambled more than he did as a rookie and relied on his excellent speed to try to make up for it, but as a tackler as well.
"My main focus that I have to work on is my tackling. I don't think the covering and all that was bad. Only thing that was stopping me was tackling, and that's something that I have to keep working on that I haven't worked on," Shields said. "I've been a receiver. So I'm going to work on it this offseason – however I can to help me tackle. Coach Witt is helping me work on that and it's getting better."

I've been banned from the Rivers Casino for 30 days
Yes, what you are reading and are about to read is true.
I've been banned from the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh for 30 days.
Why have I been banned?
Well, the casino security officials and Pennsylvania State Police are calling it attempted theft. I'm, along with the three individuals I was with, are calling it a massive misunderstanding.
In the words of the PSP agent I spoke with, "with no charges, there is no crime," but things could certainly have been much, much worse.
My friend Zane, his girlfriend, Julie, Alyssa and I went to the Rivers Friday night (June 4). After a few hours of gambling, we decided to call it a night and get ready to go.
Alyssa and I were at one set of machines, Zane and Julie at another. On the way to find Zane and Julie, I found a small, gumband tied amount of money lying on the casino floor.
Alyssa and I point at it, and as the excitable college-grads we would be to see ANY amount of money, I pick it up and put in my pocket with the intent to show Zane but then to go ahead and turn it in to customer service.
It's a casino and somebody had to be missing this money.
Upon showing it to Zane and Julie, we never made an effort see how much money was bound in the wad, but decided to go cash out our winnings and make our way to the exits. On the way out, I was planning to stop at guest services and drop off the money.
When the four of us get in line to cash out our tickets, Zane discovers his wallet is missing. Everyone's attention turns to the missing wallet.j
Alyssa, Julie and I proceed to cash out, then track down Zane to look for the wallet.
For an unknown amount of time, the four of us walk aimlessly around the casino, backtracking, checking slot machines were had been at, the bar we had been at, all the while staring at the floor, looking for this wallet.
As Alyssa and I become separated from Zane and Julie, we keep walking around the casino, finding the machines we had been playing at and looking for the wallet.
Yes, this wad of money is still in my pocket. No, I didn't remember it was there.
Eventually a casino security official approaches me, asks me to step aside, and asks if I have anything that doesn't belong to me.
I had to think for a moment, it's not every day you're asked this question.
I say yes, I do, and hand the casino guy the money, saying I found it on the floor.
He gets on this radio thing and tells someone on the other end they found me and the money, while three or more floor security officials come to surround Alyssa and I.
I'm asked to present ID, ask where I found the money, ask why I had the money, and the questions go on and on.
I was asked why I didn't have a middle name.
I'm able to tell them where about the money was found and explain to them that Zane's wallet was missing and that is where my attention was turned the entire time.
Obviously a friend's missing his wallet in a casino is more important than turning in missing money found on the floor.
The casino security guy tells me the state police are on their way and that I could be arrested for theft. Apparently, it is illegal to pick ANYTHING up off the gaming floor.
Whether it's money, a ticket stub, a gaming voucher, anything of that sort, it is illegal to pick it up. It is considered theft.
It would be nice to have known that.
I'm never asked by the security guard at any time how much money was in the wad. I never checked. I was told, however, they saw it on camera as I picked up the money.
I find it odd they wouldn't ask me how much was there, as if they did track me the whole time I was walking around looking for Zane's wallet, they would have seen no effort to look.
Honestly, I was thinking at the time it is maybe $30 at most. It had a $1 bill on the outside of the wad. Turns out, it was a total of $704.
The state police officers, or detectives, (not sure which, but my guess would be detectives) arrive to question me.
I tell them the same story I told the casino security personnel. I found the money, put it in my pocket, showed my friends, went to cash out, discovered Zane's wallet missing, then began the search for the wallet.
At no point did the casino security or state police make any effort to speak with Alyssa, Zane or Julie, all of which were standing in the vicinity as I'm being questioned.
I'm yet again asked if I have a middle name and then asked why I don't have one.
They ask if I could tell them how long I was walking around with the money. I have no idea.
They ask if I saw any casino security guards around while I was walking around. I, again, have no idea, I wasn't exactly pay attention for security guards.
They ask where I work and for a contact number. I tell them I work at channel 11 and give them the number to the assignment desk, telling them I'm not sure who they'd reach because that's the number we use to call them while making beat calls.
They again say I could be arrested for theft because taking anything off the casino floor is theft and that the item must me returned within "a reasonable amount of time." That was followed up with "a reasonable amount of time is immediately."
I'm asked where I live and how I can be contacted. I give them my cell phone number. They ask if the address on my license is current. Well, that brought about another confusing answer.
I explain to them my living circumstances, of temporarily living in Squirrel Hill then moving to Mt. Washington, but technically Ebensburg is my home address.
They probably took all the addresses down, I don't remember.
I again say this was my first time in the casino (actually, it was my first time in any Pennsylvania casino) and I was unaware of the regulations.
I emphasize, again, that ZANE'S WALLET IS STILL MISSING.
The one state trooper asks if I picked up the money thinking it was Zane's wallet. I'm pretty sure I stared blankly at him on that one.
The troopers then made contact with the "victim," in this case, the man missing the money.
The man, thank God, didn't want to press charges, since he got all of his money back. It's not like that wasn't going to happen away.
So, with the man not pressing charges, I get my ID returned to me and am told by one of the troopers "with no charges there is no crime, but my name would still show up in a report."
I'd really like to know what report. I never received any citation, any information regarding the circumstances, never signed a warning or anything like that.
The state troopers said we were done and that I could go. I turn to Alyssa, Zane and Julie and we head to leave.
As we are walking away, another casino security guy comes up and says we aren't done. He's dressed more like a state trooper, so I tell him the other troopers said we were done.
Turns out, this is the nightside casino security chief. He says I need to do some paperwork and then I could go, but I should make arrangements to meet the rest of my group later.
The others say they're going file a report for Zane's missing wallet, then we'd meet up.
I follow the security guy through the casino and back some hallways to the security office. On the way, I'm still explaining I didn't have a clue about the policies pertaining to the not picking items up off the gaming floor and that I was sorry for not acting immediately.
The security manager then proceeds to tell me that technically under state law, any incident regarding theft in a casino is an automatic lifetime ban from that particular casino.
I look at him dumbfounded.
He said that in this case, he is obligated to do something, so he was going to issue me a 30-day ban.
In the office he fills out a piece of paper with my information.
Yet again, I'm asked why I don't have a middle name.
(Seriously, come on, is my family the only people in the world to NOT HAVE middle names?)
I'm asked about an address and phone I can be contacted yet. Yet again, I go through this entire living situation ordeal again.
Eventually, Ebensburg is put down because should the Pennsylvania State Gaming Control Board need to send me a certified letter, someone needs to sign for it.
Why would they send me a letter?
It was explained that although the casino manager has issued a 30-day ban, when the state gaming board receives the incident report, they may choose to act differently.
For example, they may decide to enact a life-time ban.
I'm told by the nightside security manager that if I don't receive anything in the mail, then nothing is happening.
With the paperwork complete, another security agent takes my "picture" or "mugshot" for what I'm calling the "Rivers Casino Wall of Shame."
I go to sign the paper, discover the nightside manager misspelled my last name, correct him, then sign the paper work.
I get my copy and am told the security manager will escort me to the elevators to leave.
The report says:
Reason for Eviction:
"30 day pending. Theft/failure to return lost money in excess of $700.00"
That's not even remotely 90 percent of the story, as you've read above.
I tell him I'm with the other group of people and need to meet with them. He explains that's why he told me to make plans with them.
Apparently his idea of making plans was different from mine.
He said I could call them.
Well, I didn't have my cell phone, I had Alyssa's and Alyssa had mine.
Yet again, another confusing situation to talk through.
The security manager lets me call Alyssa (who has my phone) from his office phone.
He asks what the number is to call. My mind goes blank. "Uh………."
He replies, "your phone number."
Oh, that's right, I'm calling my cell to get a hold of Alyssa.
As the security manager is escorting me away, I overhear on his and on another radio and a situation involving a wallet.
I ask him if that is "involving the wallet I'm involved with," meaning, are they looking for Zane's wallet.
Turns out it was a different situation.
Upon being taken to the elevators I meet with the three others and we are told to have a good night by the security manager and told to promptly leave.
Finally, at almost 1:30 a.m., almost two hours after this ordeal began, we leave.
I leave with a 30-day ban, but $11 richer, Zane leaves without a wallet.
Now, I'm yet to be told I've received anything at home in the mail regarding this situation.
The next morning, casino security finds Zane's wallet with everything in place and the cash still inside. Too bad he had already canceled his cards.
In one night I learned quite a bit.
The most important thing is, don't touch anything on the ground at a casino. Only touch what is yours, don't pick anything up, and if you find something on the ground, simply ignore it or flag down a casino security guard to take it away.
I also learned that I put myself in almost indescribable life situations. Who else has three active address over the span of three months?
I feel as though I probably confused the crap out of everyone questioning me, but I was only telling the truth.
I also found this state gaming security system flawed.
Clearly there is no room to make a mistake. I would like to see something regarding the rules and regulations about casino policy of items on gaming floors or around the casino.
Would I have known picking money up off the floor was illegal, I wouldn't have done it, even with the intent, that I had of returning it.
I'm also concerned about the report issued by the security manager. The whole story isn't being told. I don't know what the gaming control board is going to review. If all they see is that I failed to return lost money and have no idea about the rest of the circumstances, they may very well ban me for life.
I think if that happens, I'll be seeking a review of my case and challenging the board.
I'm also tempted to call the Rivers Casino for clarification. I'm concerned about being banned for life for an honest mistake.
I've checked the Pennsylvania Web dockets and have found my name no where in the criminal system. I've also been Googleing my name, and am seeing nothing by social media addresses and CUTV/Cal Times clips coming up.
I also find it funny that when Zane filed his report, according to Zane, Julie and Alyssa, the casino personnel didn't seem to really care.
Alyssa said it was more as if they were more hell-bent on nailing me for a mistake than taking a report for a missing wall.
Aren't they essentially the same thing?
I would love to hear your thoughts and responses to this post. Please comment under the "comment" tab at the top of this post.
If you've had any issues with any Pennsylvania casino, I'd like to hear about those, too.
I apologize for this taking more than a week to post. I got tied up with extra hours and work and lots of soccer of the weekends.

Haha this is absolutely true!!! But you left out a few things, don't cancel all of your cards if you lose your wallet at the casino. As Marc's story or as I like to call it, "True Life: I'm Banned from a Casino", shows anything on the ground can't be picked up or you will be confronted with casino security. If they seem not to care just make up a ridiculous amount of money in the wallet and it will get the casino security moving much faster. For example, say "OMG I lost my wallet I had soooo many monies in that thing! Yinz guyz neeed to help me find it!" When they ask how much, just say "IT IS EVERYTHING I HAVE". Thus portraying a Yinzer $20 is actually a lot of money. Kudos on not being banned yet Marc and if you need a witness you have my number.
P.S. Maybe you should carry around a copy of your birth certificate so people actually see that you don't have a middle name.
P.S.S You forgot to mention the numerous times they asked you your weight.
the moral of the story is don't go to casino's. They can take all your money then u find an eight cent voucher they escort u out the door telling u commited a federal offense in toledo what an asshole . we will never go there again!
Yes hollywood casino in toledo,ohio. burning alot of bridges already. they took 10bucks out of a machine of my girlfriends then we watched the slot attendants they go around pulling tickets out of the machine time for the gaming commish. to investigate the tape doesn't lie!
This was such an incredibly ridiculous evening, I just had to tell my family. My mom told me the security of the casino stalked one of the ladies my grandma was with on a bus trip. Mind you, this lady was in her 80s. The security made a huge scene in the parking garage pulling the lady off the bus… all for what? She took someone else's ticket that they left in the machine. Who knows how long they were watching her, but really? She's 80+. Definitely a serious threat…
And you were right they really could've cared less about Zane's wallet. He never even filled out paperwork for it. I loved trying to explain to the door security men we were looking for our friend… who was in the bac security offices. And we were given a ridiculous blank stares. What a ridiculous place.
Dude. Epically awe-ful. What a bunch of douches. keep us updated on the consequences, if any, and if not we should take a trip there together in the fall whenever i get back from west virginia.
Yes, this kind of bullshit is absolutely true. I currently live in the state of Washington where my fiance is currently in jail for taking a ticket out of a slot machine that some stupid woman left in the machine she was playing. She was so stupid she actually thought that the ticket would be in the machine when she got back and maybe she left it in the machine for safe keeping? any body with any brains at all knows better to leave a $620 ticket in a machine because more often than not someone is going to come along and take it and say it must be xmas because oh what a present. And the gd casino believe it or not called the cops on him after the stupid woman came back and whined to the casino personnel that someone had taken her ticket that was in the machine while she was in the bathroom. well no s—- stupid , what do you expect to happen if you are stupid enough to walk away and leave your damn money in the machine.I mean my god, Based on legal technicalities, I call bullshit on the fact that the casino called the cops on him and had him charged with theft. How in the hell can they have him charged with theft when the damn money did NOT even belong to them to begin with??? It was NOT theirs! It belonged to the stupid person who was playing the machine and walked off and left the ticket in the machine. Therefore, if that person is stupid enough to walk away and leave their ticket (money ) in the machine, then too bad, finderskeeeprs. They should have used their damn brains and took the ticket with them when they left. This law is so much bullshit it would be like me walking down the gd street and finding money laying in the middle of the road and then a cop coming along and saying I cant keep it and I have to turn it over to them because the gov owns the road and apparently "someone" left or dropped that money there so I have to surrender it over immediately. BULLSHIT. Get a grip on reality and pull your self righteous selfish greedy head out of your ass. That is WRONG!Just because its laying on the ground of a casino does not make it theirs. If I dropped my wallet on the casino floor and then they saw me on camera pick it up and put it in my pocket , and didnt know where it came from and then proceeded to hunt me down and harrass me etc and / or threatened me with a charge and jail, you better believe I am going to be counterfiling a lawsuit on their ass so fast and so big , it will make their head swim. What they basically harrassing you about is circumstantial evidence which is shaky at best because in order for them to even make it stand up and stick in court they are going to have to have a bunch of witnesses present in court to say that they actually saw you do so and so on that tape etc and when they cant produce them, the stupid charge can be thrown out of court and you can file charges against them for harrassment, pain , suffering diress, etc. I for one wouldnt even put up with this crap. I wouldnt have let them call the cops on me, i would have argued their point like trying to argue the horns off a goat and then I would have threatened them with a lawsuit if they didnt back off and stop violating my constitutional rights.
i am going threw that now i found a 200 hundred dollar voucher at the sugarhouse casino they eveicted me from the casino told me i committed theft when the ticket was just laying there. i was told i was supposed to had given it to security so now if i dont pay the money back the state troopers say there going to put a warrant out for my arrest. i believe in finders keepers if it were a wallet or sumthing with id then okay but it was laying on a machine…..
Hey- sorry to hear about this. BUT there are signs posted in :all of the elevators, by the Bill Breaking Machines all.over the casino that explain what to do if you find money, see a ticket in a machine or find a ticket on the floor. DO NOT TOUCH IT!! you can give the item to ANY casino employee and they will they turn it in. Also, Pennsylvania does not have a "FINDERS KEEPERS" LAW SO….if a ticket is left in a machine and no one comes back for it, leabe it. Eventually a casino slot attendant will grab it or the person will come back. If a casino employee takes the ticket, the money goes back to the state. FOR ANY ONE GOING TO A CASINO FOR THE FIRST TIME: IF YOU DIDN'T WIN IT, DONT TAKE IT. Most slot vouchers have a name attached to them so they can be returned to that person. As for Zack's wallet, bummer…glad he got it back.
I have been to casinos for years and I think what Pennsylvania has done is silly. On the other hand, I know a lady who will not go to their casinos even though she lives in Pennsylvania. She goes to the Mountaineer in West Virginia because when she loses her husband's paycheck, she will walk the casino for up to 3 days stealing money left in machines to get it back or enough to get gas money to drive home.
just encountered the same situation . Visited sugarhouse casino found a voucher and thought oh shit i found two hundred dollars so played with the mo0ney about three hours later two men approach me asking if i found money this evening i replied yes they stated i needed to come with them they had questions. So i go in the back they started snapping pictures of me asking for my id and i asked whats is this about they alleged i committed voucher theft. So the state troopers come in telling me pay up or be arressted so i say i spent the money and now i have 2 weeks to pay it back or recieve a warrant for my arrest. Really for money i found where are the postings saying its illegall to keep vouchers, cash, chips etc laying on the floor or with no id i always thought finder keepers but no its a crime msuch a rip off……..
my cousin is a lawyer in manhattan on madison ave,and he said FINDERS KEEPERS LOSERS WEEPERS.
I agree with u I found a vouch on a slot machine, and used it. It was Sat. Jan 5 I got a letter today. The letter said it was a crime to take a voucher. I don't know what I was suppose to do, ask all around who's voucher this is everyone would have said it was their's. So I called the # I was instructed to call on letter, the officer who was taking care of this was off, I have to call tomorrow, and the officer I talked to wouldn't give me any info. I have to call first thing in morning to talk to the officer who is handiing this. I am afraid I didn't steal anything I found a voucher, I don't thing that is stealing. I will call in morning and return money. The person reported. I really don't know what is going to happen, I think my picture will be posted and possibly I will not be allowed to go there for awhile not sure if u have any info for me please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow Marc, That's quite a story. I believe it and I feel for ya for having to go through all that. The rivers casino Is a crooked place over all in my book. I am a regular patron there and my reward for being a regular patron, all they do to me when I go there is rob me blind. This is the case with most anyone anymore lately. I've lost $2,500 in 2 weeks and am going to lose my apartment over the low paying slots. I thought the point of a casino was "Having a chance to win". Not the case with Rivers. Just wanted to give you my insight on the crooks they really are.
?I recently picked up a casino voucher off the floor in hard rock casino biloxi worth 5 dollars. And was stopped by security and banned for llife I did not.know the rules for this I thought if. Its on the floor its finderrs keepers. They should put the rules on back of the players cards

Local soldiers charged with providing security for the hearts-and-minds mission in Afghanistan recently spoke to The Repository about the war, their mission and daily life.
About every day, military personnel and civilians travel around Afghanistan as part of NATO's campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. Building schools, roads and hospitals, and training the Afghan army and police, are at the foundation of the alliance's strategy.
The soldiers of Task Force Roc, drawn from the Ohio Army National Guard, provide security and transportation for trips to those project sites.
Recent events in the 10-year war — the accidental burning of Korans at a U.S. base, the alleged murder of 17 civilians by an American sergeant, the killing of NATO soldiers by their Afghan allies and allegations of corruption in the Afghan government — have many Americans wondering if a hearts-and-minds strategy can succeed.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll last month found that 54 percent of Americans want to pull U.S. troops from Afghanistan, even if the Afghan army isn't self-sufficient.
Last week, guardsmen from Task Force Roc reached out to The Repository to offer their impressions of the war they are fighting.
Talking to local media allows the soldiers' communities to "get an idea of the work they're doing here and how their daily lives are," said Lt. Ismail Turay Jr., a public-affairs officer for the unit, who also is the city editor of the Springfield News-Sun and has written about his deployment for that paper and the Dayton Daily News.
But the soldiers leave to the politicians the topic of how long American troops should stay in Afghanistan.
The task force landed in Afghanistan in November and has soldiers in 10 Afghan provinces. Forward Operating Base Lindsey, near the city of Kandahar, is home to the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery of the 1-134 Field Artillery Regiment.
The city, capital of the province of the same name, is in the southern part of Afghanistan and borders Pakistan. It is called the birthplace of the Taliban.
The roads outside the base are dangerous. Soldiers face roadside bombs and suicide bombers, but fortunately, the unit has not lost any soldiers, nor had any wounded by the enemy, Turay said.
Spc. Rayn Campbell drives one of his unit's armored trucks. Sometimes the Afghan people wave, sometimes kids throw rocks or "give you the bird," he said.
"You can kind of tell they don't really like us that much," said Campbell, 21, of Wadsworth. "But then some people will be very friendly to you. Depends on who you come across."
Tensions have increased since last month's Koran burnings and the alleged murder of civilians, including women and children, by Staff Sgt. Robert Bales on March 11 in the Panjwai district of Kandahar province.
"It's been a lot more uptight here," Campbell said. "A little more nerve-wracking, I guess, when we go to different places."
Page 2 of 2 - "You see those tragedies happen, and you wish they wouldn't happen," but the soldiers concentrate on the mission, added Cpl. Andrew McClellan, 22, of Strasburg. "You always have that mindset of, the mission's first, you get it done and you come back."
The Panjwai killings have been more of a regional issue, while the Koran burning has affected the whole country, and has been exploited by insurgents who claim it was done purposely, said Staff Sgt. Matt Baker.
While those events have been a step backward, "I truly do not believe that ... it will define everything that we have done here," Baker said.
Most Afghans that he talks to are supportive of U.S. troops, but are concerned the Americans will pack up some night and totally leave the country, Baker said.
"They don't want the Taliban coming back," he said, an observation backed by surveys of Afghan opinion.
Baker, a 40-year-old construction worker from Perry Township and a self-described "old man," said he worries about his young soldiers.
"I have a 15-year-old daughter," he said. "It's kind of like being a parent to all of them. Kind of have to help them manage every aspect of their life."
Everything from being ready for the next mission to dealing with situations back home.
"They're good kids," Baker said.
And getting a care package with toiletries or snacks does a lot to lift moods.
"I'll tell you it means a lot," Baker said. "It means a lot to the guys, myself included. We just really do appreciate the support."
Although the soldiers can communicate with their loved ones via Facebook, email and Skype, they are careful what they say.
"You talk to your loved ones, and you tell them you're doing all right and everything's fine, really, and you just go about your day," said McClellan, who plans to return to Malone University when he comes home.
It's not prudent to tell them every detail, he said, "because you don't want them to worry, and you don't want to be worrying about them worrying while you're here."

Gators' offensive line takes another hit
Published: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
GAINESVILLE - The Florida Gators have lost yet another offensive starter to an injury. The latest to go down is left tackle D.J. Humphries, who sprained his knee in practice and is out for the next two to four weeks, UF coach Will Muschamp said Wednesday.
"D.J. Humphries sprained his MCL at practice Monday and he'll probably miss two to four weeks," Muschamp said on the SEC coaches' teleconference. "He's a quick recovery guy."
Muschamp said it is not the same knee that Humphries sprained in the Toledo game. Humphries came out of that game, but was able to play some the following week against Miami.
Muschamp said Humphries will be replaced in the lineup by Nebraska transfer Tyler Moore, who moves over from right tackle, where he has started five games this season. Stepping in at right tackle will be junior college transfer Trenton Brown, who will be making his first start.
Muschamp said starting outside linebacker Ronald Powell, who missed the Missouri game with a sprained ankle, returned to practice Tuesday and will play in Saturday's game against Georgia.
"He's good to go," Muschamp said.
Muschamp said starting defensive tackle Damien Jacobs (head injury) and outside linebacker Darrin Kitchens (shoulder) also are back at practice and will be available Saturday.
Quarterback Tyler Murphy, who has been nursing a sprained right shoulder, is throwing again at practice and Muschamp said he's good to go for Saturday's game as well

text: Dale - Unregistered June 25, 2011 7:49 PM I see Bridgestone are asking for a change in the qualifying tyre rules to try stop teams parking the cars to save tyres. Maybe it's time to bring back qualy tyres in F1?WSBK has a great system of 2 qualy tyres over the 3 sessions. The slower guys use them in the 1st & 2nd sessions to try make the 3rd, while the faster guys try save them for the 2nd & 3rd (or even just the 3rd) sessions. If Pirelli can provide a qualy that is 2-3sec a lap faster than the standard tyres, it could mix up the Lotus / Virgin / HRT vs midflield battle, & the midfield vs top 8 battle nicely. 1 agree 1 disagree

Israel allegedly using Turkish military base to attack Syria [PressTV]
- Uploaded by Knewtube on Jul 17, 2013
- Views: 30
A new report has been released by the Russian media claiming Israel used a Turkish military base to attack Syria on July 5th.
According to the report published by Russia today, Israeli war planes left a military base inside Turkey and approached the Syrian city of Latakia from the sea. The report says Israelis used this route because they wanted to make sure they stayed out of Syrian air space, in order not to become a legitimate target for the Syrian army.
In a televised interview on Monday, the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu strongly denied claims that Turkey allowed Israel to use Turkish soil to attack Syria.

Prominent fishing writer and television presenter, Steve Starling, has upgraded his personal fishing equipment with the acquisition of a 17' flats skiff fishing boat powered by a 115 four-stroke Yamaha outboard.
Steve Starling at the wheel of his new flat-bottom, Yamaha-powered rig.
"Starlo", as he's widely known, has long been part of the fishing and boating scene, from pioneering soft plastic lures and bream tournaments to his roles as a television presenter and journalist.
Why Yamaha for his new rig?
"I ran a Yamaha 115hp on my previous boat and it never missed a beat," he recalled.
"This particular model outboard provides the exact mix of performance, economy and quiet operation that I demand, backed by Yamaha's proven reliability.
"First turn of the key and the engine starts, every time, regardless of weather conditions or how long it has been sitting idle," he added.
The new boat for Starling is a low profile, 17-foot centre console geared for barra and bream fishing when manoeuvrability and an uncluttered deck for casting space are demanded.
Broad coamings, endless stowage, ultra shallow draft and simplicity of layout make the boat a formidable rig for lake, estuary and other flat water fishing environments.
The stepped hull design is a perfect match to the 115 Yamaha outboard.
A unique feature of the boat is a US fly fishing-inspired aft casting/poling platform.
Positioned above the outboard engine, this 'tower' provides an ideal vantage point for spotting fish and allows an angler to cast a line unimpeded by others on board.
We're not sure when next 'Starlo' will be hunting fish from his new rig, but somehow I think we'll be hearing all about it somewhere, sometime, somehow.
Steve Starling doing what he does best.

Failure to consider environmental, social and governance related issues and opportunities during the transaction process could impact value and successful execution of the deal.
Issues such as contaminated land liabilities, environmental compliance expenditure, rising energy prices and waste landfill costs can affect value if managed inappropriately. More recently, high-profile food safety and child labour cases have illustrated the broader nature and importance of 'non-financial' sustainability factors. They require a deeper and wider assessment across the entire value and supply chain.
Before the financial crisis, investors typically saw environmental due diligence as a risk management tick-box exercise to secure financial institution funding. However, post-credit crunch, there appears to be a greater focus on responsible investment. We are seeing an increased appetite for the potential upsides (e.g. cost savings, additional revenue streams) of the sustainability agenda, in a transactional context. Strategies to manage energy (buy better, use less and self-generate) and waste (convert waste to an asset) is transforming the environmental due diligence process.
Investors should take stock of these issues during due diligence, to ensure they can clearly articulate the opportunities and risks that could affect value.
Examples of the financial implications associated with the sustainability agenda that KPMG has identified on recent projects include:

Live at KSC: Knob freed from Atlantis cockpit
The notched rotary knob, used to fasten a work light to a bracket, wedged itself between the shuttle's dashboard and one of six forward windows during the final Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission in May.
But NASA must now assess any damage the knob caused to Window No. 5, which could still result in significant delays if its pressure pane needs to be replaced.
The knob had caused at least nicks to the inner pane of the three-paned window, and NASA was concerned that some removal techniques would cause more serious damage.
Under worst-case scenarios, disassembly of the dashboard might have been required, threatening the timing of a targeted November STS-129 mission to the International Space Station.
A first attempt to loosen the crescent-shaped knob using dry ice failed.
But it was freed overnight Monday after technicians in Kennedy Space Center's Orbiter Processing Facility Bay No. 1 pressurized Atlantis' crew cabin, causing it to expand slightly.
The cabin was expected to be pressurized to between 17.6 and 17.9 pounds per square inch, a bit higher than the roughly sea-level pressure used in flight of 14.7 psi. Over the course of the mission's five back-to-back spacewalks, the pressure was reduced to 10.2 psi.
Now NASA must evaluate whether the inner window pane must be replaced, a job that used to be done at a California facility that has been shut down and has never been done at KSC.
It is not yet clear how long that task might take, if necessary.
Atlantis is targeted to launch Nov. 12 on a mission to carry spare parts to the space station.
According to NASA, the parts include a gyroscope, nitrogen tank assembly, ammonia tank assembly, latching end effector for the station's robotic arm, trailing umbilical system for the rail car that the arm travels on, an antenna and a high pressure gas tank.
That is one of two remaining flights Atlantis is scheduled to make before NASA retires the three-orbiter shuttle fleet late next year. Check out the schedule here.
IMAGE NOTE: On June 2, space shuttle Atlantis on top of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, parked on the tarmac of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility. The SCA landed at Kennedy after a more than 2,500-mile cross-country ferry flight from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California. The SCA is a modified Boeing 747 jetliner. Atlantis returned from California atop the SCA after its May 24 landing at Edwards Air Force Base, concluding mission STS-125.

A couple of years back I played around with some solarplate printing from positive digital prints on transparency ... I now have an 8x10 proper and am itching to try the process with real film and want to figure out the best workflow ...
I'm ordering some Bergger 200 8x10 film - I've done heaps of reversal developing in 16mm cine both with light re-exposure and chemically with sodium sulphide >> Do you think this film would give the right gamma/density for solarplate positive exposure if I were to process it in reversal ?
...ooooor the Bergger BPF18B ortho film - is this a direct duplicate or neg type stock ? if it is negative, would a simple contact print of a standard 8x10 neg and then soup in dektol or something give me the right positive for solarplate prints ?
If the BPF18B is neg - then it could be used to enlarge my MF 6x7 negs onto for solarplate also
interested in it particularly as I can include it in a big order from B&S - I'm getting tired of separate shipping charges :rolleyes:
any help appreciated

Optical microscopy with flexible axial capabilities using a vari-focus liquid lensYufu Qu and Haijuan Yang
The microscope is one of the most useful tools for exploring and measuring the microscopic world. However, it has some restrictions in its applications because the microscope's depth of field (DOF) is not sufficient for obtaining a single image with the constant magnification in which the whole longitudinal object volume is in focus. For example, an off-the-shelf optical microscopy with a 10× objective can only observe samples placed at 4.0 mm and within 8.5 μm depth range. These restrictions add complexity to using microscope for observation. Samples needs to be placed on the working plane of a microscope first, and only the part of the sample within the depth of field of the microscope is in focus. In order to acquire flexible working distance and extended depth range for imaging, a flexible-axial-capability microscope is proposed in this paper. By employing methods of controlling the liquid lens in image acquisition process and subsequent image processing, the axial imaging range is extended and three-dimensional observation is realized. Experiments validated that the proposed flexible-axial-capability microscope can vary its working distance from 4.5mm to 12.5mm, which is a big advance to the fixed working distance of 4.0mm of an off-the-shelf microscope. The axial imaging range is extended to 400 μm which is 47 times an off-the-shelf microscope without liquid lens of 8.5 μm and 20 times an off-the-shelf microscope of 20μm with liquid lens fixed on the rear plane of the objective with a constant diopter, and furthermore, the proposed microscope can also deliver three-dimensional observations of samples.
Cryogenic-temperature electron microscopy direct imaging of carbon nanotubes and graphene solutions in superacidsO. Kleinerman, A. Nicholas G. Parra-Vasquez, M.J. Green, N. Behabtu, J. Schmidt, E. Kesselman, C.C. Young, Y. Cohen, M. Pasquali and Y. Talmon
It has been shown that ultra-long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) spontaneously dissolve in superacids (particularly in chlorosulfonic acid, CSA), and, at high concentrations form a nematic liquid crystalline phase, with individual CNTs arranged in long domains. This discovery lays the foundation for fiber spinning from solutions of high quality ultra-long carbon nanotubes. The transition between the isotropic and liquid crystalline phases depends strongly on the CNT type, concentration, and solvent strength. The need to image those systems, which are difficult to handle, and are potentially dangerous to the microscope and the microscopist, has emerged when we realized that superacids are the only effective solvent for carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets without the presence in solution of stabilizers or surfactants.
In this work we describe a unique cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) specimen preparation and imaging methodology, suitable with highly acidic systems that we have developed for direct imaging of CNT/CSA solutions. Controlled cryo-specimen preparation and optimal imaging conditions allow imaging vitrified specimens without harming the equipment and personnel. The cryogenic transmission electron microscope (cryo-TEM) methodology is useful for imaging of non-viscous and dilute solutions, while the methodology we have developed for cryogenic scanning electron microscope (cryo-SEM) allows direct imaging of viscous CNT/CSA systems, including liquid-crystalline phases and their development, from dilute solutions to concentrated liquid-crystalline CNT phases, used as the ""dope"" for fiber spinning.
The new cryo-EM methodology allows the study of basic scientific phenomena at nanometric level in CNT/superacid systems, such as the CNT dissolution mechanism, direct observation of CNT filling with a solvent, correlation between CNT quality and self-assembling into ordered phase, as well as measurement of nanotube length. While originally developed for direct imaging of CNTs and graphene dissolution and for the study of self-assembly in superacids, these methodologies may be implemented in the study of a variety of highly acidic systems.
A fast experimental beam hardening correction method for accurate bone mineral measurements in 3D μCT imaging systemKhodor Koubar, Virgile Bekaert, David Brasse and Patrice Laquerriere
The determination of bone mass in mice longitudinal experiments allow to study pathologies like osteoporosis or bone mass loss in cystic fibrosis patients. Computerized Tomography (CT) is a very good method to perform this kind of bone mass measurements compared to ultrasound, …. CT consists in a X-ray tube and a detector. Due to the polychromatic nature of the X-rays produced by the tube, there are artefacts in the recorded images (compared to monochromatic source like X-rays from synchrotron). In the present paper we propose a method to decrease these artefacts. It allows to obtain more accurate bone mass measurements. We validated our method on real mouse bones (femora and skull). The error was decrease from 5% to almost 0% in the case of femora (from 7% to 3% in the case of the skull).
How important is the {103} plane of stable Ge2Sb2Te5 for phase-change memory?W. Zhang, W.T. Zheng, J.-G. Kim, X.Q. Cui, L. Li, J.G. Qi, Y.-J. Kim and S.A. Song
Exploring the phase-change mechanism, structures and properties of chalcogenides has been currently one of the hot topics. Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenides are of tremendous technological importance ranging from optical data storage to phase-change random access memory. Exhibiting the best performance for DVD-RAM in terms of speed and stability, Ge2Sb2Te5 is currently the most important phase-change alloy. There exist three solid phases in Ge2Sb2Te5: amorphous, metastablerocksalt (face-centered-cubic, FCC) and stable hexagonal (Hex) phases. The whole switching operation in optical data storage and electronic memories is based on the following rapid cycling processes by either laser or electric heating: amorphous→FCC (Erase/SET process)→Hex→liquid→amorphous (Write/RESET process). The stable Hex is an indispensable concern to bridge the aforementioned whole cycling framework. In this work, structural correlations between the two crystalline phases were analyzed and the rich structural phenomena were unraveled. Closely correlated with {200} plane of FCC phase, {103} plane of Hex phase of Ge2Sb2Te5 plays a crucial role in achieving fast phase change process as well as formation of modulation structures, dislocations and twins in Ge2Sb2Te5. We propose that from a point view of maintaining the ultra-high transition speed, (103) of Hex phase can effectively facilitate phase-change memory. This leads to a novel concept that phase-change process can be treated as a nanoscale shape-memory, towards essential understanding of the relevant structural features of Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenides.
