Localized-density-matrix implementation of time-dependent density-functional theory119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613634View Description Hide Description
A linear-scaling first-principles quantum mechanical method is developed to evaluate the optical responses of large molecular systems. Instead of a many-body wave function, the equation of motion is solved for the reduced single-electron density matrix in the time domain. The locality of the reduced single-electron density matrix is utilized to ensure that computational time scales linearly with system size. The two-electron Coulomb integrals are evaluated with the fast multipole method, and the calculation of exchange-correlation quadratures utilizes the locality of an exchange-correlation functional and the integral prescreening technique. As an illustration, the resulting time-dependent density-functional theory is used to calculate the absorption spectra of polyacetylene oligomers and linear alkanes. The linear-scaling of computational time versus the system size is clearly demonstrated.
Using force fields methods for locating transition structures119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613931View Description Hide Description
A previously proposed strategy of using force field methods for generating approximations to the geometry of transition structures is extended to also estimating an approximate Hessian matrix. These two components allow an automated method for locating first order saddle points, which is an essential requisite for studying chemical reactions of systems with many degrees of freedom. The efficiency of using an approximate force field Hessian matrix for initiating the geometry optimization is compared with the use of an exact Hessian. The force field Hessian in general requires more geometry steps to converge, but the additional computational cost is offset by the savings from not calculating the exact Hessian at the initial geometry.
Resonant nonlinear polarizabilities in the time-dependent density functional theory119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614240View Description Hide Description
The response of the density matrix to an external field is calculated in the adiabatic time-dependent density functional (TDDFT) theory by mapping the equation of motion for the driven single-electron density matrix into the dynamics of coupled harmonic oscillators. The resulting nonlinear response functions and the closed expressions for nonlinear frequency-dependent polarizabilities are derived. These expressions include transition densities and frequencies calculated in the linear response TDDFT, and higher order functional derivatives of the exchange-correlation functional. Limitations of the applicability of the traditional sum over states approach for computing the nonlinear response to the TDDFT are discussed.
Canard phenomenon and localization of oscillations in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction with global feedback119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614752View Description Hide Description
The occurrence of spatial domains of large amplitude oscillation on a background of small amplitude oscillation in a reaction–diffusion system is called localization. We study, analytically and numerically, the mechanism of localization in a model of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction subject to global feedback. This behavior is found to arise from the canard phenomenon, in which a limit cycle suddenly undergoes a significant change in amplitude as a bifurcation parameter, in this case the feedback strength, is varied. In the system studied here, the oscillations arise via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, but our analysis suggests that the same mechanism is relevant for systems undergoing a subcritical Hopf bifurcation.
Exponential variational expansion in relative coordinates for highly accurate bound state calculations in four-body systems119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613943View Description Hide Description
Exponential variational expansions in relative coordinates are considered for four-body systems. All matrix elements needed for bound-state calculations are expressed as linear combinations of fifth- and sixth-order derivatives of a basic four-body integral. Computation of the basic four-body integral and its derivatives is performed directly, i.e., without any use of the branch tracking in the complex plane that is required in the Fromm/Hill approach, and by methods that take into account the termwise singularities of the formulas. The final computational procedure is relatively simple, physically transparent, and numerically stable. The methods are illustrated with sample data that show the importance of a singularity-canceling approach and that the increased precision thereby made possible permits more accurate wave functionoptimization than heretofore.
Preconditioned iterative minimization for linear-scaling electronic structure calculations119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613633View Description Hide Description
Linear-scaling electronic structure methods are essential for calculations on large systems. Some of these approaches use a systematic basis set, the completeness of which may be tuned with an adjustable parameter similar to the energy cut-off of plane-wave techniques. The search for the electronic ground state in such methods suffers from an ill-conditioning which is related to the kinetic contribution to the total energy and which results in unacceptably slow convergence. We present a general preconditioning scheme to overcome this ill-conditioning and implement it within our own first-principles linear-scaling density functional theory method. The scheme may be applied in either real space or reciprocal space with equal success. The rate of convergence is improved by an order of magnitude and is found to be almost independent of the size of the basis.

The carbon pentamer dication Toward thermochemical stability119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1612911View Description Hide Description
Various computational ab-initio methods are employed to study the doubly-charged carbon system For its electronic ground state, equilibrium geometries are identified, and their stability against dissociation investigated. Multireference configuration-interaction results indicate a weakly bound but thermochemically stable dication.
Theoretical study of photoinduced electron transfer from tetramethylethylene to tetracyanoethylene119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613252View Description Hide Description
Using ab initio and density functional calculations, we studied photoexcitation of a charge-balanced electron donor–acceptor (DA) complex comprised of tetracyanoethylene (TCE) and tetramethylethylene (TME). We considered both the TCE-TME stacked conformer and a possible conformer with a solvent molecule (dichloromethane) inserted between TCE and TME. The photoexcitation of the DA complex can directly form a charge transfer(CT) state. Our theoretical investigations show that the CT state can also be produced from the decay of higher excited states. Using the continuum model, we investigated the solvent effects on CT absorption, local excitation, and CT emission in the polar solvent. The equilibrium solvation energies of the ground and excited states of the DA complex were calculated using the self-consistent reaction field method, and then the correction of nonequilibrium solvation energies for the vertical transitions was made. The transition energies (i.e., CT absorption for the DA complexes and CT emission for the contact ion pair complexes) in the polar solvent show redshifts relative to those in the gas phase.
Competition between photodetachment and photodissociation in119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615517View Description Hide Description
Using fast beam photofragment spectroscopy, we have studied the competition between photodissociation and photodetachment in The photodissociation fraction is ∼10% and increases somewhat between 285 and 266 nm. High resolution photofragment spectroscopy shows that the beam is composed of ions only. The photofragment angular distribution has an anisotropy parameter β=1.9, indicating that the process of dissociation has a parallel character, attributed to the transition. A detailed analysis of the kinetic energy release of the photofragments shows the structure related to the distribution over the six fine-structure dissociation limits The results are compared with an analytical diabatic dissociation model, taking into account the long range charge–quadrupole interactions; the is described in a Born–Oppenheimer electrostatic aproximation and projected onto the different fine-structure states at large internuclear separation using analytical expressions derived from the long range charge–quadrupole interactions between and O fragments.
Potential energy surfaces and bound states for the open-shell van der Waals cluster Br–HF119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615238View Description Hide Description
Semiempiricalpotential energy surfaces for the lowest three electronic states of the open-shell complex Br–HF are constructed, based on existing empirical potentials for Kr–HF and Kr–Ne and coupled-clusterelectronic structure calculations for Br–Ne. Coupled cluster calculations are also described for He–F, Ne–F and Ar–F. Electrostaticinteractions that arise from the quadrupole of the Br atom and the permanent multipoles of HF are also included in the Br–HF surfaces. The well depth of the lowest adiabatic surface is found to be 670 cm−1 at a linear equilibrium geometry. The results of helicity decoupled and full close-coupling calculations of the bound states of the complex are also described. The ground state, with total angular momentum projection quantum number is found 435 cm−1 below dissociation to The lowest-frequency intermolecular bending and stretching vibrations are predicted around 145 and 211 cm−1, respectively. Parity splittings are found to be extremely small for bound states with projection quantum number The relevance of the results to recently recorded spectra of Br–HF is discussed.
Zero electron kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations of gallium–methylamine complexes119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614775View Description Hide Description
Gallium–dimethylamine and –trimethylamine were produced in pulsed laservaporization molecular beams and studied by threshold photoionization and pulsed-field ionization zero electron kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopies and density functional theory calculations. Analyses of the ZEKE spectra yield molecular adiabatic ionization potentials and metal–ligand and ligand-based vibrational frequencies. Comparisons of the experimental and theoretical results establish the ground electronic states of the neutral and ionic complexes. The ionization potentials, stretching, and bending frequencies are 38 790, 206/177, and 132/128 cm−1 for the dimethylamine complex and 38 081 cm−1, 188/133, and 111/92 cm−1 for the trimethylamine species. The electronic ground states are for and for The calculated metal–ligand binding energies of and are 36.2/9.7 and 37.1/8.5 kcal mol−1, respectively.
Hyperpolarization transfer from parahydrogen to deuterium via carbon-13119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1615522View Description Hide Description
Hyperpolarization arising from para-hydrogen can be transferred via carbon-13 to deuterium after hydrogenation of a perdeuterated substrate. The model compound is acetylene- hydrogenated to yield ethylene- Transfer to deuterium occurs in ALTADENA experiments (the hydrogenation reaction being performed outside the magnet of the NMR spectrometer prior to the insertion of the sample tube into the NMR probe). The proposed theory, limited to the case where the two protons remain isochronous (same chemical shift), is based on the concept of a steady-state density operator which prevails subsequently to the hydrogenation reaction. The outcome quantity is the carbon–deuterium longitudinal spin order, denoted as Calculations simply involve commutators of all relevant spin quantities with the J-coupling Hamiltonian (denoted as In particular, it is shown that the necessary condition for polarization transfer toward deuterium via carbon-13 is that does not commute with The structure of is thus of prime importance and it appears that transfer to carbon-13 occurs for both types of experiments, ALTADENA and PASADENA (hydrogenation reaction in the presence of the NMR spectrometer magnetic field). Conversely, transfer toward deuterium via carbon-13 is possible only with ALTADENA experiments.
Ab initio studies of reactions. IX. Combination and disproportionation reactions of ClO and radicals119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613632View Description Hide Description
The mechanism for the reaction on both singlet and triplet state potential surfaces has been investigated with the modified Gaussian-2 method based on the optimized stationary-point geometries. The result shows that the barrierless association reaction producing and two lower barrier O-atom abstraction reactions take place primarily on the singlet state potential surface; they are energetically more favorable than those occurring on the triplet state surface.Rate constants calculated by variational transition state and Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus theories suggest that the major products are at low temperatures (<700 K) and at high temperatures. The following rate constants are recommended for atmospheric chemistry and combustion applications: (200–3000 K) and (200–800 K) for He as the third-body. In addition, a potential high-temperature reverse reaction involving Cl and has been predicted to yield exclusively the ClO and products; its rate constant is predicted to be: (200–3000 K). The heats of formation at 0 K for and have been predicted to be 46.7, 59.4, and 38.3 kcal/mol with about 1 kcal/mol uncertainty using the new heat of formation of OClO, based on the most recent bond dissociation energy of O–ClO reported in the literature.
Separation of a benzene and nitric oxide mixture by a molecule prism119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613934View Description Hide Description
In molecule optics, a matter wave of molecules is manipulated by a molecule-optical component made out of external, typically radiative, fields. The molecule-optical index of refraction, for a nonresonant IR laser pulse focused onto a molecular beam can be obtained from the energy conservation and wave properties of molecules. Experimentally measured values of for benzene and nitric oxide agreed well with the calculated values. Since depends on the properties of molecules as well as those of the laser field, a molecule prism composed of the focused nonresonant laser field can separate a multi-component molecular beam into several components according to their molecule-optical refractive indices We obtained a chromatographic resolution of 0.62 for the spatial separation of a mixture beam of benzene and nitric oxide using a focused Nd:YAG laser pulse as a molecule prism.
Fluorescence detected microwave Stark effect measurements in excited vibrational states of119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614771View Description Hide Description
We describe a microwave-optical double resonanceexperiment designed for Stark effectmeasurements on molecules in excited vibrational energy levels of ground electronic states. This technique, which employs pulsed laser excitation and laser induced fluorescence detection, has been used to measure electric dipole moments in the and vibrational states of formaldehyde. In addition, a Stark induced quantum beat experiment is briefly described.
Heteronuclear coherence transfer in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance using a γ-encoded transferred echo experiment119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613933View Description Hide Description
A novel type of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance experiment for efficient transfer of coherence between different nuclear spin species under magic-angle spinning conditions is introduced. The method combines the attractive features of γ-encoded dipolar recoupling [Nielsen et al., J. Chem. Phys. 101, 1805 (1995)] with coherence transfer mediated by a longitudinal spin-order operator in a transferred echo experiment. Using two-channel rotary resonance recoupling with different phase and amplitude modulation schemes, the transferred echo sequence can be tuned to achieve dipolar recoupling and coherence transfer over a well-defined range of chemical shifts while keeping the ratio between the rf field strength and the sample spinning frequency relatively low. The method, referred to as gamma-encoded transfer echo, is described analytically, by numerical simulations for various different spin systems, and experimentally by to coherence transfers in a powder sample of -labeled glycine.
Water dimer hydrogen bond stretch, donor torsion overtone, and "in-plane bend" vibrations119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614774View Description Hide Description
We report the measurement and analysis of 64 new and transitions of and 16 new transitions of by terahertz laser vibration–rotation–tunneling spectroscopy of a planar supersonic expansion between 140.5 and 145.5 cm−1. The transitions in both isotopomers correspond to vibrations assigned to the hydrogen bond stretch (translational) and donor torsion overtone vibrations. The interchange splitting is 56.3 GHz in of the excited state of nearly 3 times the value of the ground state, and the bifurcation tunneling splitting is 1.8 GHz, over 2 times the value of the ground state. We compare the existing experimental spectra with calculations on state-of-the-art intermolecular potential energy surfaces and critically review the vibrational assignments reported in the literature. We show that the discrepancy between theory and experiment regarding the assignment of the feature near 103 cm−1 can be resolved by considering transitions, which had not been considered previously.
Threshold ion-pair production spectroscopy of HCl/DCl: Born–Oppenheimer breakdown in HCl and and dynamics of photoion-pair formation119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1613932View Description Hide Description
Threshold ion-pair production spectroscopy (TIPPS) has been applied to two isotopomers, HCl and DCl. From the high-resolution TIPP spectra the ion-pair thresholds of the two molecules have been precisely measured. Combined with the known ionization energy of H(D) and the electron affinity of Cl, the difference between their bond dissociation energies is calculated, and therefore an experimental determination of the effect of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown on the dissociation limit of the ground state potential curve has been obtained. The difference in for the two isotopomers was found to be: The bond energy for HCl was in agreement with our previous determination, These results are compared to a recent study of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown in HCl by Coxon and Hajigeorgiou, where high resolution spectroscopic data was used to fit Born–Oppenheimer breakdown correction terms for the intramolecular potential function. The present study also measured the high resolution spectra for photoion-pair production for HCl and DCl in the threshold region for ion-pair production (∼86 nm). Although there is qualitative agreement between the current results and previous experimental and theoretical work, there are some important differences. The possible mechanism for ion-pair formation in HCl and DCl is discussed in light of these high resolution results.
Core shell excitation of furan at the and edges: An experimental and ab initio study119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1606441View Description Hide Description
The K-shell spectra of gaseous furan have been measured using the inner-shell electron energy loss spectroscopy (ISEELS) method at the carbon and oxygen thresholds. Large-scale ab initioconfiguration interaction calculations have been carried out in order to help in the assignments of the observed bands. The spectra are close to previous low resolution ones obtained using ISEELS in the gas phase and photoabsorption with the synchrotron radiation in gaseous and condensed phases. The presence of a new feature located at 287.3 eV in the spectrum and recently detected by photoabsorption with synchrotron radiation is confirmed. At both edges, the calculations confirm the assignments proposed in earlier experimental works, with the exception of several pre-edge features for which a new interpretation is given.
The double exchange mechanism revisited: An ab initio study of the complex119(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1614249View Description Hide Description
The results of extensive ab initioconfiguration interaction (CI) calculations of the spectrum of the complex are reported and analyzed. This complex can be seen as the simplest system exhibiting the so-called double-exchange phenomenon. This effect is usually rationalized in the minimal valence space defined by the partially occupied orbitals. The analysis reveals that the leading antiferromagnetic contributions implies the atomic excited (non-Hund) states through a mechanism proposed by Anderson et al. and Blondin et al. but the energy spacings deviate significantly from those predicted by the usually accepted model Hamiltonian. An analytic derivation explains these deviations and an alternative modelization of the spectrum is proposed. The extensive CI calculations also reveal the existence of another mechanism involving low-lying virtual orbitals with a large component on the of the Ni atoms and that strongly stabilizes the upper excited states.

Garfield: The Movie Review
"Loved It."
April 6th, 2008
Cute & fun movie here for the whole family to see. I can't see what the hell all the critics were thinking after they saw it besides Roger Ebert, who was practically the only one that enjoyed the film. Well, I can promise you that the whole cast is just amazing, not oscar-worthy of course, but it is well worth it. Please read Ebert's review on this movie if you have had second thoughts on this one. After reading it, you may actually want to see it, despite the terrible reviews, which just make me sick. Oh yeah, Jennifer Love Hewitt rules.

UMD hockey fans warned after "smallpox blankets" chant during Fighting Sioux series
University of Minnesota-Duluth men's hockey student season ticket holders have been warned they could have their season tickets confiscated if they repeat the ugly behavior displayed during a series against the University of North Dakota earlier this month.
The series came just days after UND readopted the controversial Fighting Sioux nickname, and UMD fans were apparently in the mood to fight controversy with controversy.
During a February 11 game, UND fans visiting Duluth for the series reported that they heard fans in UMD's student section chanting "smallpox blankets" and other racist phrases at UND's mascot.
The Duluth News Tribune reports that some North Dakota fans were offended by the "over the top" behavior, while others played it down as indicative of the fact that "everybody has a few silly fans." But Bob Nielson, UMD's athletic director, is determined to make sure student ticket holders tone it down.
"Smallpox blankets! clap*clap*clapclapclap" -- UMD fans.
Last week, he sent a letter to student season ticket holders characterizing the smallpox blankets chant as "hostile and racist" and said a repeat of such behavior in the future could result in immediate removal from the arena.
If the past is precedent, then ushers better be prepared to start yanking students from UMD games. In 2009, UMD student fans received a similar warning from the AD after they chanted "faggot" during a game against Minnesota State-Mankato.
Apparently, cultural sensitivity isn't a popular topic up at UMD.
-- Fate of UND's controversial Fighting Sioux nickname may be determined by referendum

Australian Ballet
Sydney Opera House, Joan Sutherland Theatre
May 18
The Royal New Zealand Ballet's triple bill which began the year's programme was a stunning success which showed a company on top of its game.
But the Australian Ballet's comparable latest trio of works, Vanguard, showed what an extraordinary depth of talent that company has to offer.
Vanguard comprises three works which are essentially studies or reflections on the nature of dance, as well as providing an overview of contemporary dance of the last 100 years.
The first work on the programme was The Four Temperaments, choreographed by Balanchine with music by Hindemith. While the various sections portrayed the four temperaments or humours – melancholic, sanguine, phlegmatic and choleric – this was more an opportunity for attempts to deal with the contrasting aspects of those temperaments: the male/female, the yin and yang, as well as the emotional and physical.
The male and female dancers responded to each other with conflicting and contrasting movements, creating varying tensions and attractions between them.
At times, the female dancers were manipulated as though they were mechanical dolls, with their arms, legs, heads and torsos becoming levers, pulleys and cogs, creating sharp angular positions and movements.
This was all something of a metaphor about how the body responds to internal and external forces, creating emotional and psychological states.
There were some supremely elegant passages where the physicality and the weight of bodies contrasted with the serpentine line of movement. At other times, they explored the ritualistic and naturalistic aspects of dance.
It was all done with a slight sense of parody of the classical form, but with a brilliance of articulation and style, and the dancers responding to Hindemith's music, which ranged form the classical to the jazzy and syncopated.
Remarkable vignettes
Jiri Kylian, who has choreographed for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, had a work from 1995, Bella Figura (literally Beautiful Figures). The dance is filled with a series of remarkable vignettes from the opening sequence, which begins with some of the dancers in rehearsal mode testing themselves, flexing and preening, with two bodies suspended in Perspex coffins above them – death?
When the dance begins a bare-breasted female, hinting at a sexual element, is alternately gripped by the curtains as though by a giant fist and then released, stepping forward to engage with the audience.
It was all a precursor of what was to come – an undercurrent of sensuality and mortality, the impact of sets and lighting on the dancers as well as the fragility of the human body.
The music which was mainly late baroque. Pergolesi, Torelli and Vivaldi reinforced these ideas of sex and death, with a couple of sopranos singing from Pergolesi's Stabat Mater the haunting When my Body Decays.
As well as choreographing the work, Kylian has designed the set and worked closely with the lighting so there are a number of sequences where the curtains are used to frame, hide and interact with the dancers. The lighting was imaginatively used to create dark shadows, hidden places and to dramatically illuminate.
There was lots of vigorous movement, with a fine sense of physicality providing a contrast between the sensual and the robotic.
One particularly eloquent passage was danced in silence while another featured all the dancers – male and female – bare chested in voluminous red skirts which gave the work a surreal mixture of the primitive, the Orient and the catwalk.
The final work, Dyad 1929 choreographed by Wayne McGregor, revisited the innovative dance of the Ballet Russe in the early part of the 20th century. Performing to the minimalist music of Steve Reich, the dancers engaged in a series of episodes which unpicked the ideas of contemporary dance and reworked them into bizarre new dance explorations.
Postures, shapes and movement which had been seen in The Four Temperaments were here pushed to the limit so that there was an almost circus-style theatricality to some passages.
Future Melbourne performances:
Vanguard, June 6-17
Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake, June 21-July 1

Global Warming: Science Fact or Fiction?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 15, 2000
Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life? Have such predictions been established scientifically? The proposed Global Climate Treaty calls for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, there is no scientific consensus to support global-warming pessimism. Would the proposed massive 'carbon' taxes and other controls put our society- especially those most disadvantaged- at great risk? Based on his widely acclaimed book, renowned astrophysicist Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.

It's been almost four months since the release of Precursor. The mod has been downloaded over 15 000 times and I've received 112 feedback forms. Feels pretty good, actually! If you want a slightly outdated summary of all of that juicy feedback, have a look at this post over at MapCore.
Just the other day I was asked if I could answer some questions about Precursor by ModSentry's Daniel Perry. Why, of course Daniel! Scroll down and you'll find a little snippet from the interview and a link to the full interview over at ModSentry! It includes some advice to mod developers, so if you're into that kind of jazz, you should check it out!
ModSentry wrote: I'm assuming that the team are Half Life fans, creating something so faithful to the game you're modding doesn't come easily. Was the idea always to create something that didn't mess too much with the Half Life universe?
- Yes, we always wanted to avoid making the story too big and brash. We wanted to keep things on a smaller scale. In Precursor, you're just a rebel, like many others, and you're not the center of attention in the way Freeman is. Of course, we wanted your actions to have some impact on the Half Life story line, as it would be unrewarding not to. Those who've played the mod will know what I'm talking about.
For such a detailed and well made mod, I was surprised to see how few people had worked on it. Did you ever consider getting more people on board? Did you ever wish you had?
- As the team lead, I wanted to keep things manageable, something I've mentioned a bit in previous answers. Too many mods end up in limbo after protracted development. The way Precursor was going to avoid that fate was by not making it more than just a roughly hour-long Half Life 2-based single-player adventure with very little new content besides the maps. You'd still be shooting the same guys, still be wielding the same weapons and you'd still look at the same textures and wonder if it's 2011 or not. Precursor was a first for me and it was best to keep things simple. Even with Precursor's small team I felt a lot of pressure; I had to make content that lived up to the music and the voice acting and do that content justice, you know? And I didn't want my own work to culminate into nothing either of course.
For the full interview, visit ModSentry.
Precursor has been updated to improve the game, as requested by the players. If you haven't played Precursor yet, this is a good time!

Are you going to make a Precursor 2?
Ahh nice game
ill get it. it looks like fun!
Way too good. XD
I got so scared after the train ride that I stopped playing. :P
Nice mod, I liked the train ride and how you managed to show the player not just City 17 but some beautiful landscapes as well. Took me 1,2 hours.
This is a cool Mod 8D which Half Life 2 game i need to play this mod :/
Too good... o_O
game freezes after I exit the large sewer/tunnel after avoiding snipers. As soon as I'm about to jump into the water, it goes to "LOADING" and I let it sit for 5+ minutes and nothing happened :(
tried this twice with same results. Whats the map called after that and I'll just use console to get there. Or if theres a fix that'd be sweet
I'm not sure what's causing this. It hasn't been reported before.
If you use the command "map r_map7" in the console you can continue playing.
i loved it great mod you guys should make a precursor 2 it's so good i want to know whats next!
Highest Rated (10 agree) 10/10
This mod is absolutely fantastic. It's wonderfully put together, with Valve-like quality. Truly one of the best Half-Life 2 story tie-ins since Dangerous World.
I hope to see more from this team.

Sarno Brothers Secret to Getting Wicked Healthy
Chefs Chad and Derek Sarno spill the beans on eating healthy and having fun while doing it.
Brothers Chad and Derek Sarno are whizzes in the kitchen and have a wicked sense of humor (plus, they might just be ninjas). Both have chopped, sautéed, and led the way as Whole Foods Market's culinary educators, and Chad has a new cookbook out (Crazy Sexy Kitchen, with Kris Carr), but the busy brothers just couldn't resist taking on another plant-based project––this time together. Wicked Healthy Food is a blog offering plant-strong recipes that are accessible even to the cooking-challenged and enticing enough for the veg-curious. Chad took a little time out of his hectic schedule to answer a few of our most pressing questions––mainly, where can we find the most wickedly healthy food?
VegNews: You and Derek recently teamed up to start Wicked Healthy Food; tell us about Wicked Healthy's inception.
Chad Sarno: As brothers, we have always pushed each other to do better as only brothers can do. It started out as just a fun thing to do, and the simple 'say how it is' approach has been very well received––cutting out all the nonsense around healthy eating and keeping it real honest and basic. Both of us come from different culinary angles and styles as far as food, so it only made sense to team up and combine resources. Although we have different backgrounds and cuisine, we both feel strongly that enjoying plants as the center of any meal is the only way to go to be Wicked Healthy.
VN: Your first connection with health and diet came after you realized dairy may have been behind your childhood asthma––can you talk more about how you and Derek made the transition to plant-based living?
CS: Yes, having that first hand experience was the 'a-ha' moment for me and no-brainer connection between food and health. For both of us, we have been cooking all our lives and through the years our individual work has shed light on how important food is to being properly nourished. It's amazing that we have this wonderful gift of common sense and yet, when it comes to our health, we refuse to use it. Wicked Healthy has the mission to demystify healthy eating by showing that simply getting in the kitchen is the foundation of knowledge we all need for a solid healthy path.
VN: There's a lot of talk recently about superfoods. Do you and Derek have a contender to throw into the ring that you think everyone should add to their shopping list?
CS: Sriracha hot sauce is a superfood. Why? Because the simple condiment allows people to eat things they might not normally eat. We've recently been making our own fresh and it's awesome; we'll be featuring some recipes on the blog soon, for sure. As far as eating healthier, this superfood allows you to eat all the best foods with little to no salt, and it only takes a small amount. Derek is obsessed with it. I love it (and love spice in general). Giving your dishes that kick not only allows you to cut back on salt, fat, and sugars, but can also put simple rice and beans over the top.
VN: What's your day-to-day like, balancing Whole Foods, Wicked Healthy, and other projects? And Derek's?
CS: We both love to make a difference in people's lives no matter what we are doing. Whole Foods Market is such an amazing company to work for; we're both very thankful for the opportunities it presents us, and being surrounded by such conscious leaders in the industry is truly a blessing. We are driven by passion and being of service with everything we do. One good thing about being brothers is we both keep each other in check whether we like it or not and it's not uncommon for us to wrestle over who's right or wrong or who's the better cook. We both travel two to three weeks a month with our current jobs, for training, public events, and working with venders. Finding our personal balance is always a challenge with being on the road so much––giving time for gratitude and stillness is essential.
VN: What are some upcoming projects you two have on your plates?
CS: Supper clubs, culinary trainings, and books. We recently started doing super secret underground supper clubs in a number of cities, which is an opportunity to showcase Wicked Healthy. Trainings and weekend events have also been in discussion and planning stages, and will give our community the opportunity to cook together and get inspired in the kitchen, Wicked Healthy-style. We are in the beginning process of a cookbook as well, which will showcase both our styles in the kitchen.
VN: As a fellow Austinite, I just have to ask: can you let us in on the best-kept secret veg dishes in Austin (or just places with great food)?
CS: We are a bit biased; so our first choice would be Whole Foods Market. As far as Austin's veggie food scene, it seems like it has been slowly growing over the years but still has lots of room to continue to grow. An all-vegan, sit-down, date-night kinda restaurant would do stellar in the city. Pho Dan off of Braker Lane is the bomb for veggie phở, offering a veggie broth, which not all places do. Korea House and China Cafe are also great options. The food truck scene is rocking, and it's also easy to eat tacos three meals a day in Austin––just about everywhere you can get excellent veggie tacos.
Be sure to check out Chad and Derek's blog Wicked Healthy Food for some of the latest recipes brewing in their kitchen. Or stop by their Facebook for some daily recipes and inspiration in support of your Wicked Healthy life.

I'm considering this design pattern for a simple iOS tic-tac-toe game:
GameStatesingleton class that keeps track of X and O locations on the board
GameDisplaysingleton class that handles the display of the board and the touch events
This separation of state and display seems reasonable imo.
GameDisplay can forward taps on the board to
GameState where the board is updated and winning conditions are checked.
GameState can in turn tell
GameDisplay to draw another X/O or that the game is complete and who the winner is. My current plan is to use methods like
GameState.playAtSquare(Square s) to communicate between the two singletons.
Does this design fall victim to any major downsides of using singletons? iirc there's some controversy over using singleton classes.

I feel bigger because I cant suck it in anymore lol. My husband says he can tell I'm pregnant. I feel like I'm 5 months not 2. But we've already told everyone because I'm bad at keeping secrets and my doctor thinks we will have a healthy pregnancy.
Posted 12/16/2012
I am terrible at keeping secrets when asked a direct question, so we went ahead and told everyone after our first ultrasound. My first pregnancy I didn't tell my co-workers until 2 months before he was due, they just thought I gained weight or something.
Posted 12/28/2012
My benefit was that I ended up losing weight.... I weighed less after dd was born then they say I goin out I was pregnant. Only gained 15 lbs while pregnant
Posted 12/29/2012
Benefit: Extra ultrasounds, because if they can't get the heartbeat with the Doppler at a regular checkup then they pull in the ultrasound to make sure everything is good.


text: The first step is to identify the plant. Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) and several related species look much alike, and all are quite invasive. Some good photographs are posted on The Nature Conservancy Invasive Species Initiative website at http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/esadocs/lythsali.html. Introduced from Europe in the early 1800s, purple loosestrife is now the target of 21 states struggling to keep it out of natural wetlands, where it often forms dense colonies and chokes out native plants. All of the states in the upper Midwest restrict the use of purple loosestrife in gardens, because just one healthy plant can produce 2.5 million seeds. If you identify your plant as purple loosestrife, dig it out and destroy it. In addition to a stout taproot, expect to find a network of shallow roots spreading from the primary plant. If the plant in your garden is holding seeds, place a paper or plastic bag completely over the seed-bearing spikes and clip them off before you begin digging, to prevent accidentally spreading seeds.

Huskies Unbeaten Streak Snapped against Minnesota State
St. Cloud State was riding a six-game win streak; Minnesota State hadn't won in six games and was going into a tough road matchup against the Huskies. On paper, this series looked to be tilting SCSU's way but Husky fans were harshly reminded that in the WCHA, nothing is guaranteed as the Huskies tied MSU on Friday 3-3 then were blown out Saturday 6-2.
Friday night saw a great hockey game as both teams went back and forth on the scoreboard. Leading scorer Drew LeBlanc opened up the scoring for SCSU in the first period and after a Maverick goal, St. Cloud's Jared Festler lit the lamp to make it 2-1 after one period of play. Garrett Roe picked up his 105th career assist on the goal, putting him in first place on the all-time assist chart in SCSU hockey history. Two goals by Minnesota State and another goal by LeBlanc made it a 3-3 game and that's how it would end.
Saturday it was all Mavericks as SCSU was blown out 6-2 in front of just under six-thousand fans at the National Hockey Center. The Huskies saw their seven game unbeaten streak snap as the Mavericks led 4-0 after two periods. SCSU got goals from Aaron Marvin (his first since November 6th) and Cam Reid but it wasn't enough. Maverick netminder Phil Cook made 29 saves in the victory as MSU moved to 5-11-4 in the WCHA.
SCSU is now 11-12-3 overall and 7-9-2 in conference play. The Huskies will hit the road this weekend to take on 15th ranked Nebraska-Omaha. For updates on that series check out KVSC hockey's twitter page at twitter.com/kvschockey.

Great rifle
September 10, 2015
I bought this rifle to have an extra rifle, I made a great choice. I have a Gamo G2 Whisper spring, But I also wanted a nitro piston. I did a lot of reading and picked the Titan XS NP, I couldn't have made a better choice. I purchased a Umarex Octave before the Titan. It was nice gun but not for a 74 year old man with 3 shoulder surgery's. After I got my Titan sited in, shooting In my basement at my homemade pellet trap, I shot 15 flat nose 7.56gr pellets from a rest 35', and a dime would cover them all. This is a great rifle and easy to cock.
Pros:I like every thing about the gun, the Picatinny Rail is really nice. It's all set up to use a sling if you want.
5 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Excellent and Accurate .177 Air Rifle !
September 19, 2014
The Benjamin Titan XS is the perfect .177 pellet gun that I've been waiting 5 years for! It is very well built, has great ergonomics\handling and has proven Very Accurate (10yds=Same Hole w\Benjamin 7.9gram lead HP). There's virtually no recoil and I can shoot in my workshop without hearing protection, it's that quiet (thanks to the smooth Nitro Piston technology)! The included Centerpoint 3-9 x32 scope is okay (7-9 power gets grainy) but adjust well for a consistent zero. Trigger pull is on the long side (1") and heavy (7lbs). Two 3\16" lock washers on the trigger pin\sear contact dropped length of pull to a consistent 1\4" and 3.25lbs, giving me bulls eyes with every shot...very respectable! At 1000fps (lead pellets, sub-sonic=stable ballistics), it is very powerful, carrying 18 foot lbs of punch. In just 5 back-to-back bulls eye shots, I tore a hole in my Gamo 8 gauge sheet metal target housing I started with...will need to beef it up to keep using! I've not had the chance to take it out long range (50 to 100 yds), but am confident it will be a very accurate plinker and small game hunt
Pros:Accurate, Quiet, Well Built, Balanced Ergonomics, Powerful.
Cons:Long and Heavy Trigger. Scope at 8-9 power gets Fuzzy.

New Democratic MLAs will champion the creation of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy for New Brunswick, NDP Leader Roger Duguay said Sunday.
"Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in New Brunswick, so reducing smoking is critical to the sustainability of our health care system," Duguay said in a news release.
"New Brunswick is behind most other provinces in terms of taking the steps needed to reduce smoking among children and adults, but NDP MLAs will work to make sure we jump to the head of the pack."
According to health groups like the Canadian Cancer Society, he said, raising cigarette taxes is one of the most effective ways for a province to reduce its smoking rate.
Duguay said New Brunswick has the second lowest cigarette tax rate in Canada — about 10 cents per cigarette lower than the other Maritime provinces.
The NDP tobacco control plan proposes to raise cigarette taxes by 2.5 cents per year over four years, he said, bringing the tax into line with Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island by the fourth year.
Duguay said this would will raise about $55 million in revenue for the province, and eventually reduce tobacco consumption by about 10 per cent.
Other tobacco control strategies the NDP will champion include:

Killers with large weapons and psychological issues are some of the scariest themes around and we feature a number of these types of dubious characters here. Prison uniforms for escaped convicts, masks to keep people from biting others, and large novelty weapons meant for harm are mainstays in this collection of horrifying danger. Adding a mask of a gross or monstrous face could also help to enhance your look even further.
What makes something scary is different for every person, so we've attempted to fill every possible type of scare to give you lots of wiggle room. If friends are scared of clowns, spiders, the dark, or ghosts, we have you covered so that you may get them with that they find most frightening. You wouldn't be a good friend if you didn't attempt to get friends' and family's blood pumping a little.

The 43rd Tournament of Champions
By Ray Martin
The 43rd edition of the Tournament of Champions, Oklahoma's premier boys high school basketball invitational tournament, tips off Thursday at the Tulsa Fairgrounds Pavilion.
Game 1 – Stringtown (class B) vs. Tulsa East Central (class 5A), 2 p.m.
Game 2 –Verdigris (class 3A) vs. McGuinness (class 4A), 3:30 p.m.
Game 3 – Pawnee (class 2A) vs. Jenks (class 6A), 7 p.m.
Game 4 – Sequoyah – Tahlequah (class 3A) vs. Bixby (class 5A), 8:30 p.m.
For the second consecutive year, the tournament is designed for
Verdigris' Clarke and Pawnee's Paige to face each other in the second round. Unfortunately for the T of C, and high school basketball fans who have been begging for that match-up since the two played together in seventh grade, Pawnee upset Victory Christian in the opening round. Midwest City edged
Verdigris by three to send the Cardinals to the losers bracket.
Jenks: The Trojans are looking to become the first team to win three consecutive T of C titles. Jenks knocked off Midwest City last year, and outlasted Obi Muonelo and Santa Fe in double overtime in 2005. Though Jenks is without Nick Sidorakis, it can still get the job done.
Tulsa East Central: The Cardinals lost a thriller to Tahlequah Sequoyah last year. But East Central is much improved with nearly everyone back. Stringtown should be no problem in the opening round, but a rematch with Sequoyah likely awaits in the semi-finals.
Bixby: See my post on Bixby from Tuesday night. A 2-2 record, (1-2 in the Metro Lakes conference) and a home loss to Claremore make the Spartans the weakest and most undeserving team in the tournament. If they escape the Indians, I'll be surprised.
Tahlequah Sequoyah: Sequoyah's enormous fan base had made the Indians a shoe-in for the T of C once again. The Indians are notorious for pulling upsets in the T of C. They did it last year against East Central, and in 2003 against Tulsa Union. Beating Bixby would hardly be an upset, but Sequoyah could do some damage after the opening round.
McGuinness: IF Orton is healthy, the Irish are the best team in the tournament in my opinion. If they can keep Clarke at bay in the opening round (which is easier said than done), look for them in the finals.
Verdigris: The Cardinals would assume forget last year's showing. After losing to eventual 6A champion MWC, Verdigris gave up a 20 point fourth quarter lead to Victory Christian in the second game, and lost to class B Stringtown in the seventh/eighth place game. A surprising loss to Clayton last week makes me doubt the Cardinals a bit. Even if big man Adam Hollon is healthy, he is no match for Orton. But with a shooter like Clarke, anything could happen.
Pawnee: It is an unfortunate draw for Paige and Pawnee to have two-time defending T of C champion Jenks in the opening round. The Black Bears' chances of an upset are slim. A loss likely puts them against
Verdigris in the second round. Get your tickets early for that game.
Stringtown: The Tigers gave Jenks a run for its money in the opening round a year ago. But even with 6-9 Watson in the lineup, I doubt Stringtown can beat East Central. A consolation championship is not out of the question.
Jenks over East Central in the finals.
Verdigris over Pawnee in the second round losers bracket game.

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics' Data From Phase I Trial Of ICT-107 Accepted For Publication In Prestigious Medical Journal, Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy
http://www.springerlink.com/content/n0018574g9m4v587/fulltext.pdf ). In the publication, the data showed that the expression of four ICT-107 targeted antigens in the pre-vaccine tumors correlated with longer overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. Median PFS in newly diagnosed GBM patients was 16.9 months and median OS was 38.4 months. Tumors from post-vaccine resections in five patients showed a decrease in or loss of the cancer stem cell associated antigen CD133 relative to their pre-vaccine counterparts, which may be promising because previous studies have consistently shown increased expression of CD133 in recurrent tumors. The idea of cancer stem cell therapeutics has received increasing attention, including through publications noting IMUC's progress in the clinic with its ICT-107 vaccine targeting antigens associated with cancer stem cells and articles in the recent issues of Nature and Science noting the significance of cancer stem cells to tumor growth.In the Phase I study to evaluate the safety and immune responses to ICT-107, 21 patients were enrolled, including 17 newly diagnosed (16 evaluable as one did not receive any treatment) and three recurrent GBM patients and one with brainstem glioma. Tumor associated antigen expression analysis showed all patients had at least three of the antigens and 75% had all six of the antigens targeted by ICT-107. At a median follow-up of 40.1 months, six of the newly diagnosed patients showed no evidence of tumor recurrence. "We are extremely pleased that our clinical results were accepted for publication," said Manish Singh, Ph.D., ImmunoCellular's president and CEO. "The publication of the data in yet another respected medium, as well as the recent Nature articles detailing the importance of cancer stem cells to tumor growth, validate the potential of our clinical programs for the treatment of patients with either newly diagnosed or recurrent GBM." About ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. ImmunoCellular Therapeutics ( IMUC) is a Los Angeles-based clinical-stage company that is developing immune-based therapies for the treatment of brain and other cancers. The Company is currently conducting a Phase II trial of its lead product candidate, ICT-107, a dendritic cell-based vaccine targeting multiple tumor associated antigens for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. To learn more about IMUC, please visit www.imuc.com Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the prior safety and efficacy results for ICT-107 will not be confirmed in current or any subsequent trials of that product candidate in statistically significant larger patient populations. . Additional risks and uncertainties are described in IMUC's most recently filed SEC documents, such as its most recent annual report on Form 10-K, all quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any current reports on Form 8-K. IMUC undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
