Commerce City - This city looking to clean up its face and reputation needs a new name, say many residents. Let's try Derby or High Plains instead. Even Irondale, Adams City and Rattlesnake Hill are better handles than the one city fathers gave the community in 1962, insist those clamoring for a change.
"I always thought we were Cinderella and somebody put a bad dress on us," said City Councilwoman Reba Drotar.
Others say that the clothes may be a little frayed, but on the inside, everything is solid and downright warm.
"I've tried living somewhere else, but out of all of those other places, I'll always pick Commerce City," said David Howell, a 30-year-resident of the city.
What's in a name?
- Discuss the quest by some residents for a new, more upscale name for Commerce City. Is it a good idea?
The two are on opposite sides of a fissure in this community of 35,000 that started earlier this month with a ballot proposal that would change the city's name.
If approved by voters in April, a committee would pick three suggestions, and citizens would vote on them in November.
Residents of the newer subdivisions north of the city make up most of those behind the initiative, including the Reunion development - a 2,500-acre master-planned community.
Many Reunion residents complain that the name Commerce City dredges up too many negative images - such as the smoke and smell from downtown oil refineries. They prefer being associated with the wide-open spaces of the nearby Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
"We are a huge bedroom community with beautiful parks and wildlife refuges," said Kathy McIntyre, a Reunion resident and proponent of the name change. "Commerce City doesn't adequately describe what we are anymore."
Councilwoman Drotar also wants the name changed for another reason. As a small girl, she grew up in Derby before it was annexed in 1962. With Derby in their grasp, local leaders decided their Commerce Town was big enough to be called Commerce City.
"I went to bed one day living in Derby and woke up the next in Commerce City," Drotar said. "We had no say, no vote and no voice on what was happening."
She wants the Reunion residents to be given a chance to have input into a new name. "Once and for all, let's put this to a vote."
Allison Evans says the idea is a waste of time and money.
"I can't see one good benefit from all of this," said Evans, who runs Derby Tire Service on one of the city's main streets. "If those people are so ashamed of this town, why did they move here in the first place?"
But even among longtime residents, the issue is not so easily settled.
Catherina Vigil works at the pawnshop across the street from Derby Tire. She says she's tired of the snickers and smirks she gets when she tells people she lives in Commerce City. "We need a new name," she said. "Everyone calls it Commerce Sh---y."
Katherine Valdez, Vigil's co-worker, said: "It's our little paradise. It should stay Commerce City."
She has an ally in Miles Wright, who works at Derby Tire. Wright says his girlfriend wants the couple to move to England, but Wright is just fine where they are.
"Commerce City is what it is," he said. "It's not complicated, it's good for people and it's home."
Staff writer Monte Whaley can be reached at 720-929-0907 or email@example.com.
The history of "Commerce City"
In 1952, two groups tried to incorporate areas north of Denver with overlapping boundaries, one as Commerce Town and the other as Hazeltine.
On July 8, voting was held in the McCoy Co. salesroom at East 60th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. With a vote of 251-24, the area was incorporated under the name Commerce Town.
In 1962, Commerce Town annexed Derby. Now large enough to be considered a city, it legally changed its name to Commerce City.

Schilling says there's 'very realistic chance' he's done in Boston
Updated: October 30, 2007, 10:23 PM ETAssociated Press
BOSTON -- Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is keeping busy this offseason: He wrote goodbye letters to some of his teammates, rode in the parade celebrating the team's second World Series title in four years, and filed for free agency on his first full day back in Boston.
"A one-year deal is all I'm looking for," Schilling said in
his weekly radio appearance while driving to Fenway Park for the
parade. "If truly, physically, I was at the end of my rope, this
would be the ultimate way to ...

in response to paulpressBasics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

in response to paulpressAdding to Kappy's excellent summation, if your photos were in iPhoto, look in the iPhoto trash which is separate from the Mac OS X trash. Your photos should still be there unless you emptied the iPhoto trash.

Good times chips...
Posted by Reviewer3166013 on Aug 16, 2015
Haven't had these in years. I'm glad that iHerb has them now. Great flavor and texture. Mildly spicy. A handful is satisfying that chip craving.... Will reorder? YES.
Texture is like cardboard

The down side is that you will never enjoy other chips, ever again. Its that good. made some Guacamole dip, my friends couldn't get enough of it. このチップスの欠点は、一度食べるともう二度と他のチップスを美味しく頂けません。激ウマです。友達が遊びに来た時、グラカモーレといっしょに出したのですが、ハイエナの集団化しました。
Spicy and tasty!

"Honk if you [heart] cyclists" on the back?
"I got my lips chewed off by a dingo!" --David Letterman
There's no need to provoke the ragers......
Heck NO! Some drivers honk at me while I'm out on the road. I'm doing 8 up a hill and they're doing 40-50. I know they mean well in a motivational type of way, but it scares the HECK out of me! Why would I ask for more? Some drive by and yell, "yeah!". That's ok and not as loud as the honk!
Maybe if they had a jersey that said, Yell 'YEEEEEAh if you [heart] cyclists!
I wouldn't but I do think that's a pretty good idea... I'm sure some people would wear it, although it could get distracting! When I see things that ask me to "Honk if" I usually do it regardless of what it is lol. I like an excuse to honk my horn! Love driving past Vern Fonk insurance!

I read all the complaints about the rednecks in the SUV's and pickups, etc. So it seems to me that the ideal shirt would be one that said "Saving gas for YOU!" Maybe if these guys started realizing that the more people ride bicycles, the less their gas is going to cost, they might be all for the idea of everyone else riding bikes.
From a Google search:
Honk if you're stupid
Honk if you're a moron
Honk if you hate SUVs
Honk if you like liberals
Honk if you're polluting the planet
- Mahatma Zombie -
Well, that's the last thing they're going to be thinking of...so that's why to wear it on a shirt!
Maybe a NASCAR shirt is the way to go (or Smith & Wesson!).
Today, I believe my jurisdiction ends here...
Sounds kinda lame to me...and, sends the wrong message (I don't want them honkin' at me whether or not they (heart) me).
The point is not to get people who support cyclists to honk at you. It's to imply that the people who honk at you (because they dislike cyclists) really DO like cyclists--turn that disapproval into approval (even if it's not genuine).
"I got my lips chewed off by a dingo!" --David Letterman
my fav is still "honk if you're a witless pigf***er"
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Not all who wander are lost
The NASCAR thing wouldnt work for me I hate NASCAR. I would want to wear a Honk if you (heart) Formula 1, and that would only serve to further enrage most of the NASCAR loving types out there.
I have an idea for a shirt though how about Honk if you (heart) Karate It may make some of the raging cagers at least think for a moment about messing with you

Actually, here in Ohio, anytime one vehicle, including bicycles, passes another vehicle, the passing vehicle is required to honk their horn. Of course, this is a obsolete law that was in effect years ago, but it is still a law on the books.
I already know which drivers like cyclists (or, at least, respect them):
1. They DON"T honk at me (unless it's to warn me about something truly dangerous).
2. They don't pass me unless they can do so safely.
3. They give me a wide berth when they do pass.
4. They signal their intentions.
I'd much rather wear a shirt that promotes the benefits of cycling -- even if it's a subtle message. The one I liked when I saw it was

6 thoughts on "Rooting hard for Burnett"
Great post Brien. A.J has always been so honest with the media/fans, he seems like a hard worker, and he always gives me the feeling that he really gives a s%*# whether right or wrong. There's nothing more that I want out of a Yankee than that, and if anything maybe he cares TOO much at times. I hope the season continues to get better for both him and my team.
Split into two due to length again… //sigh
One of the major benefits of working from home is the ability to catch day-games on TV. This, obviously, includes Spring Training games. Basically from the first time I started watching, once the "more mainstream" games started around mid-March, is a) how freakin' locked-in ARod looked and b) how much better AJ looked. With AJ, it was interesting — and you may be right about Larry Rothschild having some sort of plan here — because the first game I can recall, the YES announcers (who were talking about how this year he needed to improve) were saying that the year hinged on AJ's curveball… and he wasn't throwing any. I don't think he threw a single one in the 2? 3? innings he pitched. Almost as if he were working solely on placement/command first in one outing. In his SECOND outing though (at least as far as I'm recalling — Spring days blur together a bit), it was the same thing for the first inning… and then he uncorked a *filthy* curveball sequence.
So it may be that Rothschild had developed a set-em-up/knock-em-down approach for AJ to work on this Spring to keep it simple and is now integrated. Last night's performance was SPECTACULAR until the 7th inning and I'll give Girardi some crap for that, really. Pitch count wasn't high, so I understand saving the bullpen a touch through the weekend, but if there's *any* chance to the "head case" rumors why not end on a 6 IP, near-perfect performance in which the media storyline would be "AJ HOORAY!" in the NY Daily News or "AJ Burnet Resurgent for first-place Yankees" on ESPN?
nah – if AJ's cruising, he would have totally bummed at being pulled. As it is, he still got a win, and the game got close enough to get Soriano's attention. (giving the Yankees the win, which IS the ultimate goal here.)
I'm with you Brien – I hope AJ gets 17 wins again. — Actually, would be nice if he got 20 – like you said, he sure works hard enough, and had to take enough crap last year. Not to mention that 20 wins might go a ways towards carrying Hughes.
Glad to see there are alot of other A.J. boosters out there. He's always seemed like a stand-up guy.
Yes, I love seeing AJ having success. I'm a tempering my excitement however, he has always had April success.

I will be voting for the new town hall plan. I have heard the pro and con voices — many measured and thoughtful — and none of the alternatives being offered stack up financially, practically and aesthetically for me. To my pocketbook, to my reason and to my eye, this deal is a win-win-win.

I was on my way in to Middlebury Feb. 14 along with my son and two dogs on Route 30 in Cornwall. I hit a patch of ice, skidded across the road and rolled over the car.??Three people (a couple and a nurse) stopped immediately and came to my rescue. The man was able to open my car door and release my seatbelt. They comforted me, my son, and dogs and kept us safe until the ambulance and police arrived.
I'm responding to Raymond Reed's letter published in the Feb. 12 edition of the Brandon Reporter and Feb. 13 edition of the Addison Independent.
I'm concerned about the gas pipeline scheduled to be laid under Lake Champlain.
I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the polluted water in Charleston, W.V. What if there were a gas leak in Lake Champlain? Our communities who get their drinking water from the lake would have no water to drink, etc. There is a huge price to be paid if we put the gas line in the lake and there is any kind of problem.
The archival photos that depict the area around Twilight Hall before the construction of the gym and the high school buildings are what reinforced my decision to vote in favor of the selectboard plan. That historical, aesthetically pleasing vista would be possible again, for everyone in town to enjoy.
We are writing in support of the proposed town office/recreation center plan that we have the opportunity to vote on Tuesday, March 4. We have been in need of new town offices for many years and now we have a viable plan to vote on. Please vote YES on March 4.
As downtown business and real estate owners — but without a Middlebury vote on Town Meeting Day — we strongly urge all UD-3 (Middlebury, Cornwall, Weybridge, Shoreham, Bridport, Ripton, Salisbury) residents to attend the Feb. 25 meeting and vote your support for the board to enter into lease discussions for the new municipal gym building.

Mining the 'Deep Web' With Sharper Shovels
By LISA GUERNSEY
Published: January 25, 2001
TWO weeks ago, online newspapers and magazines were buzzing with news about Linda Chavez, President Bush's first choice for labor secretary.
But from the results coming up in most popular search engines, you would never have known it. Instead of retrieving articles about an illegal immigrant who had lived in Ms. Chavez's home, a Google search on ''chavez'' led to several encyclopedia entries on Cesar Chavez, the American labor leader and advocate of farmworkers' rights.
Lycos turned up several Web sites with information about Eric Chavez, an Oakland A's third baseman. On Alta Vista, some of the first results linked to Ms. Chavez's old columns for an online magazine, but none of the links provided even a hint of the fact that she had become front-page news.
''I don't see anything that anyone would feel is relevant to her given the context of this past week,'' said Danny Sullivan, the editor of SearchEngineWatch.com, as he typed ''chavez'' into other search engines.
His demonstration illustrated a problem that has long been apparent longtime problem that has to anyone casting about for online news reports: search engines can be pitifully inadequate, partly because they rely on Web-page indexes that were compiled weeks before. It is not just timely material that seems to escape their reach. Pages deep within Web sites are also often missed, as are multimedia files, bibliographies, the bits of information in databases and pages that come in P.D.F., Adobe's portable document format.
In fact, traditional search engines have access to only a fraction of 1 percent of what exists on the Web. As many as 500 billion pieces of content are hidden from the view of those search engines, according to BrightPlanet.com, a search company that has tried to tally them. To many search experts, this is the ''invisible Web.'' BrightPlanet prefers the term ''deep Web,'' an online frontier that it estimates may be 500 times larger than the surface Web that search engines try to cover. And that uncharted territory does not include Web pages that are behind firewalls or part of intranets.
To dig deeper into the Web, a new breed of search engine has cropped up that takes a different approach to Web page retrieval. Instead of broadly scanning the Web by indexing pages from any links they can find, these search engines are devoted to drilling further into specialty areas -- medical sites, legal documents, even Web pages dedicated to jokes and parody. Looking for timely financial data? Try FinancialFind.com. Seeking sketches of molecular structures or even scientific humor? Biolinks.com may help.
''Instead of grabbing everything on the Web and then trying to deal with this big mess,'' Mr. Sullivan said, these boutique search engines have decided to do some filtering. ''They may say, we'll pick 40 sites that we know are related to this topic,'' he said. ''And that means you won't get these irrelevant search results.''
Some search engines go even further, sending out finely tuned software agents, or bots, that learn not only which pages to search, but also what information to grab from those pages. Either way, the theory is the same: The smaller the haystack, the better chance of finding the needle.
Finding those smaller haystacks can be a challenge in itself. It is the same problem faced by patrons who walk into a library, said Gary Price, a librarian at George Washington University and co-author of the forthcoming book ''The Invisible Web'' (CyberAge Books). People may know to come to the library, but they probably do not know which reference books to pull off the shelf. Of course, in such cases, patrons can at least consult a reference librarian. On the Web, people are usually fending for themselves.
''The end user should have a better idea of all the different options that exist,'' Mr. Price said. ''But this is easier said than done.''
Lately, however, a few specialty search engines have been popping up on lists of most-visited Web sites -- evidence that people are learning to find them. MySimon, a service that specializes in culling product prices and information across 2,500 shopping sites, is one of the most popular. In December, the site attracted 5 million unique visitors, a huge increase from its 1.9 million visitors a year before, according to Jupiter Media Metrix, an Internet research firm. FindLaw.com, a search engine and Web-based directory of legal information, has as many as 900,000 visitors a month.
Moreover.com, a site that opened in 1999 with a search engine that gathers headlines from 1,800 online news sources, has also appeared on Jupiter Media Metrix's reports of Web use, which track only sites with at least 200,000 visitors a month. Last month, about 340,000 people visited Moreover.com's pages -- and that is without any consumer marketing from the company, which offers the search engine free as a teaser for businesses that might buy its search software.
Like most specialty search engines, Moreover manages to find those news stories because its bots have been designed to hunt for only specific pages within a specific realm of the Web. They are like sniffing dogs that have been given a whiff of a scent and are taught to disregard everything else. Font tags in the source code underlying the Web page, for example, are a giveaway. Between 6 and 18 words in large type near the top of a Web page look a lot like headlines. In most cases they are, and the site's bots retrieve them, using the headline as the link in the list of search results.

"AGBAT's new Cuba Page" Cuba by AGBAT
Cuba Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 40 photos
No cigars here, but the only two gas station town between Albuquerque and Bloomfield. The aerial photo of Cuba is courtesy of Microsoft and their www.terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com web site. The web site is a good place to get topographical maps and aerial photo of places in the US.
Cuba is on the Puerco River (small trickle or no water most of the time), which cuts a deep arroyo through the north end of town. There are mountains to the east (Jemez caldera) and high mesa land to the west. The continental divide is just north of town and reservations are not far in all directions. The elevation is close to 7,000ft so winters are fairly cold, but the sun shines almost everyday. When the road to Farmington has to be closed due to a blizzard, Cuba is where they make you wait.
Some of the small pueblos northeast of Cuba are famous for their Penitenties. The cops have to stop them from actually crucifying a man each easter. They still flagellate themselves, stick thorns in his head, and tie him to a cross. The yuppie, eastern tourists come and say how quaint it is to see them try and kill someone in the name of religious fervor.
Sitting on the curb watching the cars pass by is a popular pastime. The Star Bar is the main watering hole. I first went to Cuba in the '60s, when I was 15. My brother was a surveyor and he and his crew would hang out at the Star. No one ever asked for an ID in those days. I still pass through town and have gone camping in the hills around the town several times over the years. It is a great date for the outdoorsy types, a little wood smoke, some clean air, sky full of stars and they are hotter than a two dollar pistol.

Dairy Farmers of America ends price suit for $50MThe Associated Press | July 14,2014MONTPELIER - The cooperative Dairy Farmers of America has agreed to pay a total of $50 million to thousands of Northeast dairy farmers to settle antitrust allegations.
A class-action lawsuit filed in 2009 charged Dallas-based Dean Foods, DFA, and the cooperative's marketing arm, Dairy Marketing Services, with working together to monopolize the market for raw milk in the Northeast, driving down prices paid to dairy farmers.
DFA does not admit any wrongdoing under the terms of the settlement. It says the legal costs have become too great.
The settlement agreement is preliminary and must be approved by a judge.

MOLINE, Ill. (October 4, 2013) – Zack Phillips's power play goal four minutes into overtime gave the Iowa Wild a 2-1 win over the Milwaukee Admirals Friday afternoon in an American Hockey League scrimmage at the iWireless Center.
The Wild's Taylor Matson scored at 15:46 of the third period to even the score at one and force sudden death after Milwaukee's Scott Ford had opening the scoring just 1:45 into the game.
The Mallards last month entered into an affiliation agreement with both the Iowa Wild and the National Hockey League's Minnesota Wild. The Iowa Wild will open their first AHL regular season on October 12 against the Oklahoma City Barons. The Admirals will begin their campaign on October 11 against the Abbotsford Heat.
The Quad City Mallards will open their season on Friday, October 19 at 7:05 p.m. against the Rapid City Rush. Tickets for the season opener and all other regular season home games are now on sale at Ticketmaster outlets, through ticketmaster.com, through Ticketmaster charge-by-phone toll free at 1-800-745-3000 or at the iWireless Center ticket office. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and on game days from 10:00 a.m. until the start of the second period.

Jordan Denounces Jerusalem Attack
Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdel Ilah Khatib on Sunday denounced the deadly Palestinian suicide attacks against civilians in occupied Jerusalem, stressing that such violence serves no one.
"Jordan denounces attacks on civilians and hopes that the losses in human lives in addition to all the losses sustained in the past 14 months will be enough to persuade everyone that these bloody confrontations will not achieve any results for any of the parties," Khatib said in a statement to AFP.
"Violence will only breed more violence," Khatib warned, stressing the need for "serious negotiations" between Israel and the Palestinians to guarantee security for both sides.
Two Palestinian suicide bombers killed themselves and 10 Israelis when they blew themselves up in a crowded area of occupied Jerusalem late Saturday. It was the third suicide operation in Israel since US peace envoys arrived in the region last Monday.
A fourth attack happened later Sunday when explosions ripped through two buses in the Israeli port of Haifa, killing 16 and injuring 55 by midday.
The US, the Palestinian Authority and Egypt have condemned the Jerusalem bombing.
According to news agencies, Israelis have suffered more than 200 casualties and 2,000 wounded in the latest Palestinian uprising against 34 years of military occupation.
Palestinians, according to the Tel Aviv-based Haaretz newspaper, have suffered over 700 killed and from 8,500 to 10,000 wounded.
Palestinians are fighting for an end to the Israeli occupation of land seized from them in 1967 and settled in violation of international law – Albawaba.com

|Samsung Mobile Display Patent applications
|Patent application number
|LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A liquid crystal display panel is disclosed. The liquid crystal display panel includes: a first substrate with a conductive layer formed on one surface thereof; a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters formed on the conductive layer; a conductive light shielding layer formed between the plurality of color filters; a second substrate with a pixel array formed on one surface thereof; and a liquid crystal layer filled between the conductive light shielding layer and the pixel array, wherein the conductive layer is electrically short-circuited with the pixel array. Since a voltage is applied to the conductive layer formed on the front surface of the first substrate, liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer between the conductive layer and the pixel array can be prevented from being vertically aligned, thus improving liquid crystal efficiency.

The Long Fall (edition 2009)
by Walter Mosley
Work details
The Long Fall by Walter Mosley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is an amazing first-installment of what I hope will be a long series.
This is Mosley near the top of his form, creating a new character with such a complete back story that it's hard to remember this is the first time we've met Leonid McGill. McGill is a tough black PI with some heavy baggage: a communist upbringing, a wife he doesn't love, 3 kids who aren't all his blood, a none-too-pure past, and a death on his conscience. The latter has pushed him to a decision to go "straight", setting him and us up for a classic noir journey through the underworld as Leonid struggles to be upright in a profession that rarely makes that easy. Robert B. Parker called this book "quite simply splendid", which is perfectly fitting, since Parker's Spenser had that white hat gig sewed up for such a long time. McGill is more complicated, less predictable than Spenser; Mosley's prose is denser, much less dialog-driven, and he requires more of the reader than Parker did. But anyone who appreciated Spenser's unwavering adherence to his "code" is going to love watching McGill try to "get there". Live long and write, Mr. Mosley.
Review written in September, 2014
Almost seemed like a missing Robert B. Parker book. The main character, an ex-boxer with his on moral creed and and criminal characters he can call on for help, just screamed Spenser. These things didn't distract from the book which was very well written. I had read one other Mosley book in the Easy Rawlins series, but found this book much more enjoyable, maybe because the story was set in current time instead of in the late 40s/early 50s.
Mosley introduces Leonid McGill, another of his superbly-named, reflective characters seeking honor amid the necessary compromises of brutish circumstances. An excellent start to what I hope is many stories of this NYC PI.
Walter Mosely has written a "noir" crime novel that conforms to the conventions of the form. His protagonist is very conscious of being a black man in contemporary America, and very conscious of his history of living and working in the grey area where good and evil shade each other, but he is truly a hero, one who tries throughout to do the right thing and often succeeds.

Leonid McGill, a New York City private detective, tries to put his past life behind him. But it's not that easy when someone like Tony "The Suit" Towers expects you to do a job; when an Albany PI hires you to track down four men known only by their youthful street names; and when your 16-year-old son, Twill, is getting in over his head with a suicidal girl.… (more)

As information bits of 0s and 1s are stored in crosspoint tantalum oxide memristors, or resistive random access memory (RRAM) cells, nanoscale-resolution in operando x-ray transmission spectromicroscopy is used to directly observe oxygen migration and clustering, revealing an important operation and failure mechanism of RRAM, a frontrunner technology for next-generation computer memory. Article link.
The nearly simultaneous Mott (electronic) and Peierls (structural) transitions in vanadium dioxide are of significant scientific interest and have tremendous technological promise in computing, memory, optics, and micromechanics. The cover features nanoscale-resolution maps of the Mott and Peierls transitions imaged simultaneously by Kumar et al. using state-of-the-art in situ STXM at the ALS. Article link.
Organic electronics have emerged into a highly interesting field of research with a great variety of applications. P. Müller-Buschbaum and co-workers demonstrate the importance of in situ investigations during the printing process of organic electronics. In situ grazing-incidence wide-angle x-ray scattering is used to follow the crystallization process of highly conductive PEDOT:PSS polymer mixtures. These findings are important for tuning transparent polymeric electrodes for organic electronics. Cover Image by Christoph Hohmann, Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM). Article link.
Profound bias- and time-dependent changes in the electronic structure of graphene-based supercapacitor electrodes are demonstrated under operating conditions via a combination of in operando x-ray spectroscopy and ab initio modeling by J.R.I. Lee and co-workers. The evolution in electronic structure reflects changes in the surface chemistry and morphology induced by polarization of the electrode-electrolyte interface and points to distinct pseudocapacitive and electric-double-layer capacitive channels for charge storage.

Hu et al. designed a new yellow phosphor with high quantum yield by immobilizing a preslected chromophore into the rigid framework of a metal–organic framework (MOF); the structure was determined at Beamline 11.3.1. Coating a blue light-emitting diode (LED) with this compound readily generates white light with high luminous efficacy. The new yellow phosphor demonstrates great potential use in phosphor-converted white LEDs. Article link.

Pictured is an illustration of several nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in a cell nucleus. NPCs act as gatekeepers between a cell's cytoplasm and its nucleus. Based on crystallographic analyses, Sozanne R. Solmaz et al. uncover the molecular mechanism that underlies the large changes in diameter of NPCs and suggest a "ring cycle" mechanism for dilating and constricting the central NPC channel. The model could explain the ability of NPCs to accommodate transport substrates of a large size range and rapidly adjust to cellular transport needs. Read the full article.

Using resonant magnetic x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, this research shows that the domains of a spiral antiferromagnet enter a jammed state at the onset of long-range order. This schematic of x-ray scattering is from a spiral antiferromagnet with a spin structure that gives rise to domains with jamming behavior.
Spin-coating is extensively used in the lab-based manufacturing of organic solar cells, including most of the record-setting cells. Aram Amassian and co-workers report in this study the first direct observation of photoactive layer formation as it occurs during spin-coating. The study provides new insight into mechanisms and kinetics of bulk heterojunction formation, which may be crucial for successful transfer to printing processes and scaling up production.
Gathering information on the evolution of small cracks in ceramic matrix composites used in hostile environments such as in gas turbines and hypersonic flights has been a challenge. It is now shown that sequences of microcrack damage in ceramic composites under load at temperatures up to 1,750 °C can be fully resolved with the use of in situ synchrotron x-ray computed microtomography. Article (PDF). News and Views (PDF).
This front cover represents the morphology and resulting device dynamics in organic solar cell blend films of PTB7 and PC71BM, as revealed by combined resonant x-ray scattering and microscopy done at the Advanced Light Source. Harald Ade and co-workers find that the fullerene molecules (red) are miscible in the polymer (blue) up to 30 wt.%, above which they begin to agglomerate (bottom). This agglomeration is important for the optoelectronic processes within the device, but the agglomerates must be kept to small sizes by the solvent processing additive diiodooctane (DIO). Correlation of this morphology with the spectrally resolved quantum efficiency shows that the yellow excitons created upon photoabsorption must arrive at the agglomerate interface for charge separation to occur. The blue electrons and green holes can then percolate through appropriate molecules in the mixed matrix to the electrodes for harvesting of electrical energy. Article Link (PDF)
The ocean is an important source of uranium if it can be extracted economically. Extraction of uranium from seawater is very challenging, not only because it is in an extremely low concentration, but also because it exists in seawater as very stable carbonate complexes in the presence of many other metal ions (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al and transition metals), some of which are in overwhelmingly higher concentrations. Since the 1960s, various techniques have been studied and developed for the extraction of uranium from seawater. Among these, the Japanese process using amidoxime-based sorbents prepared by radiation grafting showed the most promise. A better understanding of the coordination modes and binding strength of the amidoxime group with uranium is the key to improving the extraction efficiency and selectivity. Article Link .
Pictured are crystals that contain VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase in complex with an inhibitor from a class of potent anticancer drugs. Michele McTigue et al. produced these and similar crystals to determine the structural basis for the significant variation in potency and clinical performance of members of this anticancer drug class. The authors found that conformations of an often-neglected kinase domain affect the efficiency with which inhibitors bind. Understanding the relationship between kinase conformation and inhibitor efficiency could help optimize drug design for in vivo performance. Article Link (PDF)

CFS Bancorp Inc. Stock Upgraded (CITZ)
TheStreet) -- CFS Bancorp (Nasdaq: CITZ) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and attractive valuation levels. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 14.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- CFS BANCORP INC has improved earnings per share by 22.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, CFS BANCORP INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.33 versus -$0.05 in the prior year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry average. The net income increased by 25.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.98 million to $1.23 million.

"A LITTLE Bit of Sand with that BEACH please!!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Phu Quoc by Greggor58
Phu Quoc Travel Guide: 113 reviews and 297 photos
This little island sitting in the Gulf of Thailand is actually much closer geographically to Cambodia then it is to Vietnam but presently it is land claimed by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.Phu Quoc is a part of Kiên Giáng Province and has a land mass of about 585 sq km or 363 square miles.Phu Quoc has has a coastline that's 153 km (95 miles) long...it really is a tropical paradise...the blooming vegetation is incredible I thought...and the people that I met that lived here were all so kind and fun!!
The total population of the island is only about 75,000 people and the two main towns are Duong Dong and An Thoi...both smallish...each about the same population with about 20,000 people.The rest of the island is dotted with small communities,along the coast earning a living from the sea,or inland where there is still a major connection to farming.
Its a fantastic place to hang out and kick back..so much of the coastline is unused beach...that seemingly goes on for miles and miles...seems like that anyhow when you're riding a motorbike on those red dusty dirt roads...now I KNOW why so MANY riders wear masks over they're nose and mouth!!
We stayed here for five days...and spent time hanging out on the beach...napping...swimming a little [more about this later],we rented motorbikes and cruised parts of the island,we went snorkeling,and visited a few museums.It was my first time spending time here and my cousin's second so we knew a little about what to expect.We checked out the markets a few times,and took a boat cruise that was a part of the snorkeling day.
The normal thing as it evolved on our four week zoom around Vietnam was a restaurant discovery and we more often than not stuck with it once we decided that we hadn't been sick from eating at it and the food was GOOD!!
Every evening we would end up on the beach by our hotel and watch as the sun set yet again a golden yellow...or wild fiery red balls dropping below the horizon!
As recently as the 1970's's the island of Phu Quoc was disputed between Vietnam and Cambodia...The Khmer Rouge raided and occupied parts of the island until they were ousted by the Vietnamese about the same time that Vietnamese forces eventually captured Phnom Penh in 1979..In the late Eighties the Vietnamese finally withdrew they're forces and today still there is a military base in the north end of the island..
China,Cambodia, France and America have all played vital roles in the history of Phu Quoc...
Up until the 1750's the people that lived here were making a living from fishing and harvesting and trading of sea cucumbers which they shipped to China.
The French missionary Pigneau de Behaine arrived on Phu Quoc in the 1760's and the French eventually arrived in force by the 1860,s when they started to establish coconut and rubber plantations.
The most notorious legacy of the French regime in Phu Quoc was the Cay Dua Prison...located on the south end of the island close to the town of An Thoi.Today a re built version of the prison stands today as a museum and Memorial to the hundreds that lost they're lives here during this dark time in the history of Vietnam.
When the French pulled out of Vietnam in the 1950's the prison DID NOT go away...and eventually the Americans in conjunction with the American supported Southern Vietnamese revitalized this prison.This is something that I did not know before arriving in Vietnam.I had read about some of the prisons but until I visited the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City I had no idea that Phu Quoc had been the site of a prison.
Its a pretty common destination for people visiting Vietnam.It was difficult to secure some type of accommodation previous to or arrival.Many inquiry emails went unanswered and of the few that did respond most were booked many weeks in advance.
Its still a little piece of Paradise and to date is relatively unspoiled with the trappings of LARGE RESORT destinations.
As Phu Quoc develops so does the rise in jobs related to the tourism industry but for today the economy is still driven primarily buy its connection to the sea.
There is a small industry related to pearl cultivation and you can visit and purchase local pearls if you wish. Fish sauce and black pepper cultivation are other raisons d'etre for the island of Phu Quoc.Its easy to visit pepper plantations and also see how they make fish sauce...I did stop by a plantation but I gave the fish sauce place a miss...
Phu Quoc is in a transition stage and the goal of the Vietnamese Government is to develop Phu Quoc to its full potential as an International Tourist Destination.There is plenty of road work going on and lots of new buildings in the process of construction.There are plans and land set aside for an International Airport that will change the face and feel of Phu Quoc in the near future.
If you have any inkling of visiting here and prefer to see it before it becomes another Tourist Mecca than don't delay your travel plans long.
For the time being Phu Quoc still exudes an atmosphere of Peace and Quiet and small town charm.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and could easily spend a few weeks kicking back here and soaking up more of that lovely sunshine and warmth!
- Pros:Untouched oasis of Vietnamese culture and GREAT beaches!
- Cons:Dusty dirt roads if you're motortreking around the island.
- In a nutshell:If you enjoy beaches and peace and quiet...Phu Quoc is the PLACE to chill!

Great pages...I'm tempted to change our booking from Mui Ne and go here instead.
I use Phu Quoc fish sauce myself. I know folks in Saigon with their own special sources here. The sauces are simply gold! Original Cao Dai leader had his visions serving the French here in late 19th Century too. Nice place to set my sets on, thanks!
The May Restaurant looks so interesting! The Coi Nguon Museum sounds wonderful, I can't imagine why the tip doesn't have a higher rating! All great tips, glad you had help to find your bikes!
Now that you mention it, I've never been to a pepper plantation. Would be interesting, since I'm a big pepper fan. I had heard about the Cay Dua Prison on Phu Quoc, but never knew much else about the island.
Love the photo!
Lookls like you had a great time. Sea Lice, would not get me into the water. Hope you fully recovered from the bike spill.
Great page and good photos, Greggor! Too bad the hotel was not like you expected, but at least the garden looks beautiful.
Excellent tips, Greg! Phu Quoc seems like my kind of place: a beautiful beach when you need to relax, but enough sites to keep you busy when you feel like doing something. Thanks for sharing!
Good page! Thinking of the nice sweet pineapple, I ate plenty of that in Vietnam. Pity about the Hotel, The picture makes it look better than is obviously is.
Great start!!keep up the good work, Ill be baaaack!

I've got to be honest: when I think of leprosy, I think of Jesus. Often regarded as a vestige from a bygone era, I was surprised to learn (from a reader, in fact) that leprosy still afflicts nearly two million people worldwide. We now call it Hansen's disease, but referring to it by its pseudonym has done little to dispel myths or stigma surrounding this ancient affliction.
To learn more about Hansen's disease, watch the video above and/or click the link below. And don't forget to join the conversation by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page. Come on, talk nerdy to me!

I'll always be involved with service dogs, especially for veterans, but I can't promise you'll see me here writing about it.
It's simply too important an issue not to be involved, and is bigger than any one of us individually or all of us combined. But my focus professionally is shifting a little because I'm now actively pursuing a veterans affairs director position at a college or university.

I am using a Jquery Drag Drop UI script on page elements that are restricted by a container, I was just wondering if there was a way to always place the dragged div on top of the other child draggable elements.
Javascript function:
function dragIT(parent){
$("#"+parent).draggable({ containment: "#dashboard", scroll: false });
This function is called by the child/div - onmousedown / ondrag. However, dragged elements are sometimes hidden behind other divs which is something I don't want.

This is why I purchased the X10....
Dec 28, 2012
I purchased the X10 simply for this reason. To have a camera on me at all times when I otherwise wouldn't. My DSLR bag can't be with me all the time going to and from work. This amazing little camera can be. This is not the greatest photo I've ever taken, but its one I wouldn't have otherwise had a chance to take. The X10 (and Fujifilm) are impressing me more and more each day. A X-Pro 1 is in my sights!

13 for 2013: This Year's Best New Mountain Bikes
Niner Rip 9 RDO Carbon
5 / 13
Why It's Cool: A carbon frame breathes new life into this trail bike
Niner overhauled its popular Rip 9 this summer, giving the bike a new carbon frame and other high-performance upgrades. Instead of cartridge bearings, the 125mm-travel 29er uses Enduro black oxide headset bearings in all three main pivots, similar to those used by GT on its iDrive bikes. Geometry is similar to the 2012 model, but the chainstays have been trimmed 5mm to 450mm (17.7 inches). The bike also features a trick internal-cable-routing system, tapered headtube, 142x12 Maxle rear axle and a removable ISCG 05 chainguide. Niner has yet to release weights, but expects the frame to come in under six pounds. The frame will sell for $2,900, or for $3,550 with a matching rally blue RockShox Revelation. Complete builds will also be available.

May 2, 2016: We've made two key investment decisions this year – maintaining our equity exposure despite the rough start to the year, and increasing our recommended exposure to emerging market equities. What was the decision process behind these moves?
Katie Nixon, Wealth Management Chief Investment Officer, talks about her investment strategy as she expects better earnings in the second half of the year and her outlook for a slow rise in interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
Before you throw every free dollar into your retirement account, you should make sure you have enough money on hand to pay for other expenses that might come up sooner, says Deiken Maloney, a director with Northern Trust Wealth Management.
