What is neutral in electricity?
Basic Answer Good question! In US residential wiring, you have 3 wires feeding your home off the transformer: two hots and neutral. The transformer is a 240V center tapped transformer. The neutral is the center tap. Well, that's all fine and good, but your probably asking "what does that mean?" right about now. Well, since the transformer is 240V, you have 240V in between the two hots. The center tap divides the transformer winding in the middle. So between either hot and neutral you get 120V. Neutral is kind of a return wire for 120V circuits. (I say "kind of" because this is AC, current is flowing in both directons.) Well, why is it called neutral, then? At your main service panel a fourth wire comes into play: ground. Ground is simply a heavy safety wire that goes to a 8ft long copper rod driven into the ground. This ground wire is connected to all metal surfaces you touch (panels, screws, metal junction boxes, metal cases on appliances, etc.) In the main panel (and only the main panel) neutral is bonded to ground. So, while neutral is not ground, when everything is correct it should be "neutral," i.e. it has no potential on it. 120V safety issues You cannot assume neutral is grounded or safe to touch, however. By the very nature of wire, if there is a current in a wire there is a potential across it. This potential is usually very small, but is still there. The bigger problem is if the neutral connection becomes very resistive or open. Then the neutral will be live as it cannot "return" the energy to the transformer. (Again, not a totally correct analogy, but it gets the point across.) This is why you shouldn't just bond ground to neutral when you don't have a ground wire at a fixture. When a hot wire goes open, fixtures simply fail to operate. When a neutral goes open, the fixture and the neutral between the fixture and the break go live. The fixture will not work, however, giving people a false sence of security. (No the light is not on, yes it can knock you on your butt.) This is why you want to keep your neutrals in good shape. Neutral Balancing With the neutral you have two hot wires both capable of producing 120V to neutral. Because the hots have 240V across them (and not 0), one hot goes positive while the other hot goes negative. So, let's say you take two loads with a resistance of 60 ohms. You hook the neutrals of the loads up to neutral, one load to one hot, and the other load to the other hot. How much energy flows through the neutral conductor? 0W. This is because the load is "balanced." The amount of energy flowing through load one is equal to the energy flowing through load two. Let's do a testcase for a specific point in time. Let's say hot 1 for load one is at +60V, and hot two for load two is -60V. Ignoring load two, load one has a current of 1A (60V/60ohms=1A) flowing from hot one through the load and back to the transformer through the neutral. We will call current into the transformer on the neutral positive, and current out of the transformer on the neutral negative. So our neutral has a current of 1A on it for load one. Load two has a current of 1A flowing out of the neutral, through load two, and back into the transformer on hot 2. So, by our signing above, load 2 has a current of -1A on the neutral. To calculate the actual current on the neutral, we add the currents for the two bulbs: 1A + -1A = 0A. Current is flowing out hot one, through bulb one, through bulb two, and back to the transformer on hot 2. Make sense? Now, let's say you have the same setup as above, only load 1 is 30ohms. Well, now the neutral has to carry the extra amp of current. The loads are no longer balanced, so the neutral has to carry the difference. At our 60V test case, the current of load one is now 2A. The neutral current is 2A + -1A = 1A. So, this means that the neutral only carries the difference in power between the two hots. This is also why your neutral doesn't need to be twice as heavy as your hots. Let's say you have 200A service. While you can have 400A of current flowing to 120V appliances all over your home, it is actually +200A to half and -200A to the rest. Your neutral carries 0A, not 400A. Let's go back to our last example, with the 60ohm and 30ohm light bulbs. Let's say some unscroupulous DIYer used the conduit the feed is in for a neutral instead of a dedicated neutral wire. Let's say a clamp to the pipe came off and now we have no neutral connection. Now, we had +60 on hot 1 and -60 on hot 2. So our loads have 120V across them. Now, in this ideal test case, our loads appear as a single 90ohm load to the supply. This means that there is 1.334A flowing through our circuit (120V/90ohms = 1.334A). This also means that load 1 us underpowered by 2/3 of an an amp, while load two is overpowered by one third of an amp. If loads one and two were lightbulbs, bulb one would be dim while bulb two would be brilliant. As both loads have 1.334A flowing through them, load one has 40V across it, while load 2 has 80V across it. Remember, at this point they are both supposed to have 60V across them. Why this is something to worry about Our little set up above is how 240/120V applances work. In, say, your dryer, you would have a third load that is directly across the two hots. Load 3 would be your heater, load 1 would be your timer, and load two could be the light in the drum. If your neutral comes open you could toast your timer or bulb. Most appliance manufacturers actually avoid using both hots for 120V, if possible, for this very reason. You can never be sure, though. Now, the other thing to keep in mind is your whole home functions as a 240V/120V appliance. Load 3 is your heavy appliances, the heaters in your dryer, oven, waterheater, etc.. Loads one and two are all your 120V appliances, light fixtures, etc. So while an open neutral doesn't cause too much of a headache on your dryer, it does cause a big headache in your home. Let's say your service neutral comes open, and you have 1500W of appliances on for load 1, and a 100W porch light on for load 2. That porch light is going to burn out very quick. Why you should try to balance your load Now it is impossible to garuantee that load 1 will equal load 2 without being obsessive-compulsive. What you can do is when you plan your load and circuits, try to balance them. This will keep current in the neutral low, which will prevent bad connections from burning open. Also, in the event neutral does fail, if the loads are close to balanced you may only see 90V/150V instead of 10V/230V across your 120V loads. Your appliances my be able to tolerate the former until you notice, they can't tolerate the latter. Resistive neutrals A resistive neutral is a nasty little problem. It has ultimately the same effects as an open neutral, but is much more subtle. With a resisive neutral, there is a connection, but it is bad. When no current is flowing through the neutral, it appears OK. The more current flows through the neutral, the more potential develops across it by ohms law. This means that if your neutral has 25A flowing through it, and has 2 ohms of resistance, the neutral wire has 50V across it. This also means that your neutral bus in your panel is not at 0V (with respect to the transformer), but is at 50V favoring whichever load (1 or 2, as above) is heavier. This means that the lighter load will be overvoltaged. Also note that resistive neutrals get worse with time. Since our example neutral has 25A at 50V on it, it is dissipating 1250W at some point in the wire. This point is the resistive connection, and will get hot as it dissipates all this power. As it gets hot, it will burn a little further open, and the circle continues. How can I check for a resistive neutral NOTE: This procedure involves probing your service panel or heavy outlet while live. This is dangerous. If you are not comfterable with this, call an electrician. They can check for this quickly and tell you exactly what you need to do to fix it. The easiest way is with a AC voltmeter. Leaving everything on as you normally would. Check the voltage from one hot to neutral, then from the other hot to neutral. This can be done at your panel, at a dryer outlet, at an oven outlet, or at any other 240/120V outlet. If the voltages differ by more than a volt or two, you may have a problem. Call an electrician, as work on your main service must be done by someone licenced, and they have lots of experience with this.

What does the electrical term neutral mean?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service. Neutral is the name given to one of the wires in an electricity supply. It is a current-carrying wire but i…s at or near earth potential. As an example, in the UK each group of 20-30 houses is supplied from a three-phase transformer, which has three live wires and a neutral that is connected to ground at the transformer. Then each house is fed from one live wire plus the neutral wire, with a 240 v single-phase supply, usually limited to 60 amps for average family houses. At the house, the voltage between neutral and earth might be zero or up to 2-3 volts depending on the voltage developed by the resistance of the neutral multiplied by the current going along it back to the transformer. Each house also has an earth connection which carries no current but is connected to the gas and water pipes and to the earth pin on 3-pin power sockets, for safety so that any metal surfaces that could be touched are all at earth potential.

What is the use of neutral in electricity?
The real purpose of neutral is grounding. In order for electricity to flow you need a direct continuous link from the supply to a ground. Without the neutral electricity… wouldn't be able to flow because it wouldn't have a ground (a place to go). The real name for neutral is the grounded conductor, and what is commonly referred to as ground is really the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor exists for the sole purpose of being a back up neutral in case something happens, this way you don't BECOME the ground if you touch it. But don't think that means you can go touching wires if you don't know what your doing cause you can still get hurt even with both grounded and grounding hooked up. (MORE)

Understanding the Cons of Net Neutrality
Net neutrality is a concept that holds that the Internet must be a ground free from the censorship and restrictions that plague other domains of life. There are a number of ad…vantages to preserving the current system of net neutrality. It preserves a level playing field and keeps the Internet free from excessive regulation and restriction. However, the cons of net neutrality complicate discussions.Net neutrality does not necessarily promote illegal activity, but under the full force of net neutrality, crimes are more likely to be committed over the Internet. Some of the most common web crimes include pirating movies and music and hacking into other companies' systems. Other crimes include the circulation of illegal or dangerous materials.Eliminating net neutrality would not instantly stop all crimes from being committed. However, one of the drawbacks of net neutrality is there are fewer possible consequences for the criminals involved. Net neutrality makes it easier for criminals to remain anonymous and commit crimes without being tracked or identified.The lack of regulation in net neutrality is often perceived as a positive quality, since it allows for even ground for innovation and creativity. However, the sheer lack of regulation also serves as a negative force. Lack of regulation means more illicit or destructive content is made available to anyone with an Internet connection.Net neutrality allows more companies to innovate and compete in a more dynamic, open environment. The downside is that this often encourages amoral practices in competition, which gives market dominance to companies with the most technological power, eclipsing any potential new competitors.These cons of net neutrality demonstrate the darker side of the neutrality issue. While many users insist that net neutrality is essential and a positive force for modern culture, those advantages have their drawbacks.Another controversial aspect of net neutrality involves whether traffic shaping violates the principle of net neutrality. Traffic shaping is the practice of slowing down network traffic that puts stress on the network. BitTorrent and video streaming are two services that have been targets of traffic shaping in the past.

Network Neutrality: What You Need to Know
Network neutrality, or Internet neutrality, is a controversial issue that revolves around Internet regulation: specifically, whether or not the U.S. Congress or the Federal Co…mmunications Commission has the right to regulate how Internet service providers operate in the United States. Many consumers are aware of the issue of network neutrality, but few of them understand the complexities involved. Nevertheless, if you use the Internet for any reason, network neutrality is critical to your future. Learn more about what network neutrality is and how new rules and regulations regarding broadband networks are likely to affect you.The concept of net neutrality is not a new one. Historically, the commercial Internet that has been in existence since the mid-1990s is a free and open marketplace; every content provider and every user has the same rights and privileges as everyone else. However, the law does not guarantee free and open Internet access. Proponents of federally mandated net neutrality argue that the giant corporations who control the telecommunications industry have the ability and the motivation to restrict Internet access: for example, by giving preferential pricing to content providers who agree to advertise certain products on their sites. They believe that federal regulations prohibiting preferential treatment or discrimination by broadband providers is the only way to ensure that free and open Internet access continues to exist.The strongest argument in favor of net neutrality is that it encourages competition and innovation on the Internet and provides consumers with many options to choose from instead of just one or two. Without net neutrality, telecommunications providers are able to implement price-fixing strategies, thus creating near-monopolies in which one or two providers dominate the market. Limiting consumer choices, they say, inevitably drives prices up and quality down. Other arguments revolve around Internet safety and the fact that federal regulations discouraging illegal activity on the Internet, such as pornography, phishing scams and fraudulent financial websites, provide important consumer protections that do not exist as yet.Opponents of net neutrality regulations believe that allowing the federal government to control any aspect of the Internet invites censorship and limits the personal freedoms that form the basis of a democracy. They believe that Constitutional guarantees of free speech and free access to information supersede the need to protect consumers from any theoretical abuses of power. Additionally, they believe that Internet service providers have strong financial motivation to maintain net neutrality without government interference, and that some of the practices that net neutrality seeks to correct, such as bandwidth limits, are in fact reasonable and fair.The FCC's rules regarding net neutrality define the parameters that govern broadband providers in the United States. According to the FCC's website, the purpose of the rules is to reinforce and protect current standards rather than to change Internet norms. These rules focus on three main areas: transparency, blocking and discrimination, and, to a large extent, simply restate the conditions that already exist. The rules require broadband providers to disclose to consumers the network's management practices, pricing structure and terms of service. Additionally, they prohibit providers from blocking any lawful content, applications or services, including websites or applications that compete with their own. Finally, it bars any unreasonable discrimination, such as unreasonable caps on data transmission or charging some users higher prices for data use.The question of what net neutrality is proves complex and controversial. While those on both sides of the issue claim to want a free and open Internet, there is little meeting of the minds as to how to achieve this end. Politics, money and power figure prominently in the discussion, as do complex legal issues of regulatory intent. Therefore, it is unlikely that the question is going to be resolved any time soon.A little-discussed issue in the network neutrality debate is the so-called "digital divide," which refers to the fact that people's socioeconomic status often determines whether or not they have access to broadband service. According to former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, limiting network neutrality strengthens this divide, essentially making news and information a luxury commodity unaffordable to those who need it the most.

Neutral Baby Items for Everyday Use
A baby need just about everything imaginable or the parents do, to care for the baby. If your friends have decided to wait to find out the sex of their baby until he or she is… born, you may be wondering what you can get them for the baby shower. However, you can still buy them a gift by sticking to neutral colors and themes. A few neutral themes include jungle animals, insects, Dr. Seuss books, a circus, Winnie the Pooh, and teddy bears. Examples of neutral colors include white, cream, tan, shades of yellow, shades of green, shades of orange, and earth tones. When picking out items, try choosing one of these neutral themes or colors. Read on for a list of neutral items you can buy for your friends' new baby.Your friends' baby will need supplies to make bath time fun, especially as she or she gets a bit older. A few supplies for the bath you can buy include infant tubs, baby seats, scrubbers, hooded towels, wash cloths, bath toys, mesh toy keepers, temperature animals, spout or facet covers, underwater bath mats, and towel warmers. Most designs for the bath revolve around water animals, including ocean creatures, alligators, frogs, and ducks. These are neutral in theme and come in vibrant colors.You can help your friends' create a nursery for their baby. Try buying items in neutral nursery themes, such as animals, moon and stars, and modern decor. However, the best way to find something you know the parents will love is to ask what theme they are using in the nursery or check out their registry. Usually all matching items are displayed together in a department store or available online. These items could include a fitted crib sheet, lamp and shade, a mobile, rugs, crib bumper, blankets, hamper, diaper stacker, night light, throw pillow, switch plate cover, window valance, flannel blankets, and stuffed animals.When you are selecting neutral feeding accessories, try keeping it neutral with color by choosing pastels or deep shades of yellow, orange, and green. You can also find many items in white. Feeding accessories include a high chair, booster seat, pacifiers, pacifier clips, teethers, bottles, nipples, bottle liners, bottle warmers, bottle brush, sippy cups, bibs, burp cloths, a boppy pillow, baby dishes, breast pump, breast milk storage bags, and breastfeeding shawl or sling.Travel items come in neutral colors such as black, grey, and earth tones when not gender specific. Traveling items include car seats, strollers, pack-n-plays, back seat mirrors, car seat toys, diaper bags, and diaper bag accessories. These items will help the parents take the baby with them, whether they are going to the store or out of town to visit Grandma. Other neutral and important travel items include baby on board signs, suction cup shades, and seat protectors. By making the car ride enjoyable for the baby, you will help the parents be less stressed.Babies need stimulation. Try bright bold colors that pop, and catch the attention of a curious mind. Toys that create a variety of sounds and that have different textures are going to entertain the baby regardless of the gender. Toys such as indoor swings, bouncers, walkers, rattles, stuffed animals, play mats, balls, blocks, musical toys, and educational toys are made to entertain young babies, so they are a good gift for any child.Everything a baby and parents need comes in a neutral color or theme. It is just a matter of selection. By choosing neutral colors and themes, you'll be honoring the parents' choice not to know the sex of the baby. Choose one of the gifts above to bring to a baby shower for the new arrival.On the low end, it roughly costs an average family about $10,000 in the baby's first year, not including birthing expenses or doctor visits. Other than one-time costs such as furniture and age appropriate equipment, about $7,000 will go to child care, diapering, feeding, clothing, first aid, medicine, toiletries, toys, and laundry. (MORE)

When thinking about how to configure your website for mobile users, it's common to think about visitors using tablet devices to access your site. Although we do not have specific recommendations for building search engine friendly tablet-optimized websites, there are some tips for building websites that serve desktop, smartphone and tablet users.
As for smartphone-optimized sites, our recommendation is to use responsive web design. This means that your website serves the same HTML code to all devices along with different CSS style rules to optimize the site's interface on desktops, smartphones, and tablets.
If your website uses responsive web design, test it on a variety of tablets to make sure it renders correctly as, just like for smartphones, there are a variety of tablet sizes and screen resolutions.
A website can return different pages (different HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc) for different devices. These pages can be served on the same URL (a configuration called dynamic serving) or on separate dedicated URLs. Learn more about correctly detecting devices and user-agents.
If your website has different pages to serve desktop and smartphone users and does not have tablet-specific pages, in our experience tablet users usually expect to see your desktop site rather than the site's smartphone pages.
If your website has tablet-optimized sites, these guidelines can help you configure your site:

Room Scheduling and Conference Center
The Room Scheduling Department is responsible for scheduling most HMS South Quad common spaces, including amphitheaters, classrooms, conference rooms, labs, the Quad, and other special event locations. The Department is responsible for scheduling over 120 rooms located within 7 Quad buildings; however the majority of these rooms are located within the TMEC. The Department is charged with appropriately and efficiently allocating space in order to meet the competing demands of the Educational, Research, and Administrative programs of the school.
Approximately 30,000 events are booked annually through the Room Scheduling Department. Of this total, the HMS Educational Program comprises approximately 80%. Due to this high volume and more importantly, the complexity of course schedules, HMS courses are given priority over administrative activities in all quad-based space used primarily for teaching activities. Course scheduling is preformed three times per year, in the summer for Fall Courses, in November for January Courses and in December for Spring/Summer Courses.
Requests for space are submitted directly to the Room Scheduling Department from a client base comprised of Faculty, Staff, Students and Affiliates. Requests are sent primarily via the eCommons online request form but can also be sent via email and by calling 617-432-2020. Confirmations are sent directly to clients via email.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis (24) during the first half against the New Orleans Saints at Raymond James Stadium. / Kim Klement, USA TODAY Sports
You'd think cornerback Darrelle Revis, making $16 million this season while coming off a devastating knee injury, would have little to complain about.
After all, after being publicly shopped and humiliated by a new general manager who was told to dump Revis' huge contract, he was rescued from the New York Jets in a trade -- after spending two seasons in the NFL's biggest circus.
But now, with the Bucs 0-2 after last-minute losses because of defensive meltdowns, it appears Revis actually misses his old team -- in particular, the do-what-you-want way that Jets coach Rex Ryan handled him, and Ryan's aggressive man-to-man schemes, which showcased Revis' coverage skills.
In Tampa, you see, coach Greg Schiano has rules that apply to everyone, and he likes to play zone.
So, just two weeks into the season, Revis has been whining to people around him, according to a Fox Sports report.
After the report aired, Revis was summoned to Schiano's office and the two huddled for 15 minutes Tuesday, and Revis emerged to announce on Twitter that everything is fine in Tampa -- he's "happy to be a Buccaneer and happy to be a resident of Tampa."
(We wonder: How long into that meeting did Schiano remind Revis that, after this season, none of his $96 million contract is guaranteed?)
Revis added: "I'm excited about this team as we move forward to prepare each week to get a W."
On Sunday, the Bucs will try to get that "W" against the Patriots in New England. With Schiano already on the hot seat and facing a locker room mutiny, it doesn't help that he had an all-pro complaining. When players of that pedigree start knocking the coach, it gives lesser players permission to do so, too.
ESPN's Andrea Kremer, who has teamed with Revis for a documentary on his return from the knee injury, tweeted that Revis said he was just frustrated with the winless start.

Also you can chose what fields should be displayed. == Description == Profile Builder lets you customize your website by adding a front-end menu for all your users, giving them a more flexible way to modify their user-information or to register new users. Also, grants users with administrator rights to customize basic fields. To achieve this, just create a new page, and give it an intuitive name(i.e. Edit Profile). Now all you need to do is add the following shortcode(for the previous example): [wppb-edit-profile]. Publish your page and you are done! You can use the following shortcodes: * [wppb-edit-profile] - to grant users a front-end acces to their personal information(requires user to be logged in). * [wppb-login] - for a log-in form. * [wppb-register] - to add a registration form. Also, users with administrator rights have access to the following features: * add a custom stylesheet/inherit values from the current theme or use the default one, built into this plug-in. * select whether to display or not the admin bar in the front end for a specific user-group registered to the site. * select which information-field can the users see/modify. The hidden fields' values remain unmodified. NOTE: This plugin only adds/removes fields in the front-end. The default information-fields will still be visible(and thus modifiable) from the back-end, while custom fields will only be visible in the front-end. == Installation == 1. Upload the profile-builder folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Create a new page and use one of the shortcodes available == Frequently Asked Questions == = Will it change the default admin-panel from the back-end by adding/disableing information-fields? = No, profile-builder only affects the front-end of your site, leaving the default fields unmodified = Will the information be also updated for any hidden fields? = No, only fields visible to the users will/can be modified/updated. == Screenshots == 1. Login Page: screenshot-1.jpg 2. Register Page: screenshot-2.jpg 3.

DECATUR, Ala. (AP) - Decatur police have solved a 1994 case
An intruder climbed through the window of the girl's Decatur
apartment home, where she lived with her mother.
A sexual assault exam was performed at the hospital but DNA
testing was not yet available.
Detectives reviewed several cold cases in 2008 including the
1994 rape.
The victim, now 31, wanted closure in the case and police sent
her sexual assault kit to the Department of Forensics.
The DNA matched Kenneth Jackson, a convicted criminal.
The Decatur Daily reports Thursday that Jackson is currently
serving a life sentence in Alabama for three rape convictions in
the early 1990s.
He cooperated with police in the investigation and was indicted

You crunch, blow, and curl it every day to make it look great, but all that handling could be sending your hair down the drain—literally. Forty-one percent of women say they experience hair breakage on a daily basis. And some hair styling faux pas can actually cause hair to come out by the roots. Here's how to protect your tresses from hair styling mistakes of the "too much" variety: too tight, too often, or too hot.
1. Mistake: Overhandling
Giving your hair 100 strokes, teasing, or vigorous shampooing will eventually fray the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair shaft that protects the fragile inner filaments. The result? Hair breakage.
You may unsubscribe at any time.

Hair Helper: "Treat your hair like it's the finest silk," advises Rodney Cutler, owner of New York City's Cutler/Redken Salon. Use the tips of your fingers to gently cleanse your scalp—no need to scrub. Dirt, oil, and debris will float away as the lather passes over your hair. After you condition but before you rinse, detangle your hair in the shower with a wide-tooth comb. Try Pantene Pro-V's Restoratives Breakage Defense shampoo, conditioner, and strengthening spray, lotion, or leave-in créme to minimize damage ($5; drugstores). When hair is dry, brush just enough to style it.
More from Prevention: How To Deal With Hair Loss
2. Mistake: Overheating
When exposed to high heat, the cells of the hair's cuticle separate and break off, exposing the delicate filaments within. Your hair is apt to snap where cuticle is missing, explains Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a dermatologist at Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center in California. Hair loses its smoothness and luster, too, when the cuticle is damaged.
Hair Helper: Never blow-dry sopping wet hair, says Cutler; it can't take the heat. After rinsing, squeeze hair gently with a towel—don't rub. Try the superabsorbent Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel ($18; www.amazon.com, Bed Bath & Beyond). If you shampoo daily, use a leave-in conditioner designed to protect blow-dried hair.
Direct medium heat airflow down the hair shaft in the direction that the cuticle's cells are layered; blowing hair in all directions adds to frizziness. Turn off the blow-dryer when hair is almost dry, and then lightly brush to style it. (Check out these tips to have your best hair day ever.)
African American women should not use curling or flat irons more than once a week or soon after color or relaxation treatments, cautions Susan C. Taylor, MD, founding director of the Skin of Color Center at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City. If you must touch up, use a heat protector spray such as Tresemme Instant Heat Tamer ($4; drugstores).
3. Mistake: Overprocessing
Most hair dyes, perms, and relaxing agents aren't dangerous unless they are left on too long or used too often.
Hair Helper: "Don't perm more frequently than every 120 days," says Prevention advisor Mary P. Lupo, MD, a clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine. Never perm and color on the same day—a few weeks in between is best, says Mirmirani.
In African American women, relaxers and other chemical processes may contribute to a kind of permanent hair loss called central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), although genetics also may be involved. Women with CCCA can either relax or color, but not both.
4. Mistake: Too tight ponytails, braids, or extensions
The pressure of a rubber band around a ponytail can wear away the protective cuticle and cause hair to break. Anything that puts tension on the hair follicle for a prolonged period, like braids or extensions, can pull hair out by the roots, causing traction alopecia (balding), which is sometimes permanent.
Hair Helper: Use only hair-protecting bands, such as Goody StayPut Hair Elastics ($5; drugstores). If braids feel tight as they're being styled, ask the stylist to start over, urges Taylor.
Likewise, extensions and weaves shouldn't leave your scalp feeling tight, give you a headache, or cause inflammation, says Pantene celebrity stylist Danilo. Your best bet: temporary clip-in extensions. Check out hairuwear.com for a wide array of choices.Tags: beauty

Traffic Violations & Court Appearance

Re: Traffic Violations & Court Appearance
We do things differently in Australia. No court appearance, just a fine and loss of points and an almost zero possibility of getting the fine reversed.
Lots of people get hit by trains in this city. Too many level crossings.
Anyway I think there's an episode of the Big Bang Theory that can help you. Season 3 somewhere. Sheldon goes to traffic court. Track that episode down, watch it, don't do what Sheldon does, and you should be fine.

Meet the New Don Drapers
A hidden book, a talking stain--how 10 creative geniuses make the digital age work for them.
David Droga, Droga5
Droga (pictured at left) has won more Cannes Lions awards than anyone else in advertising. The Australian's work shows an uncanny knack for going viral--and deserving to. One campaign for Jay-Z's memoir and Bing hid every page of the book in locations around the country; another, "The Great Schlep," used Sarah Silverman and an army of Jewish grandkids to turn out the Obama vote in Florida in 2008.
Mark Fitzloff and Susan Hoffman, Wieden + Kennedy
No agency cranks out hits like Wieden, where Fitzloff and Hoffman are exec-utive creative directors. They oversee high-concept material (Clint East-wood's Super Bowl spot for Chrysler) and funnier fare (Old Spice's "Smell Like a Man, Man"). Other marquee clients include Nike and Levi's.
Gerry Graf, BFG9000
After holding top positions at a string of large agencies, doing offbeat work for Skittles and Snickers, Graf hung his own shingle in 2010. "For a while, New York was a place for big, boring ... agencies," he says. Now, "it's a really fun time to be in New York."

Larger shops have a reputation for less inven-tive work. …

Nguyen, KD and Guillén I Fàbregas, A and Rasmussen, LK (2010) Outage exponents of block-fading channels with power allocation. IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 56. pp. 2373-2381. ISSN 0018-9448Full text not available from this repository.
Power allocation is studied for fixed-rate transmission over block-fading channels with arbitrary continuous fading distributions and perfect transmitter and receiver channel state information. Both short- and long-term power constraints for arbitrary input distributions are considered. Optimal power allocation schemes are shown to be direct applications of previous results in the literature. It is shown that the short- and long-term outage exponents for arbitrary input distributions are related through a simple formula. The formula is useful to predict when the delay-limited capacity is positive. Furthermore, this characterization is useful for the design of efficient coding schemes for this relevant channel model. © 2010 IEEE.
