They appear on the horizon, advancing like a swarm of angry bees. Determined looks. Focused.
Who are these strangers winding down the highway toward who knows where?
Hell's Angels? Nah. Bandidos? Hardly.
Actually it's a group of 60- and 70- and even 80-somethings making their way across the United States on motor scooters. Tiny Kymco 50 c.c. scooters. Top speed 45 mph.
The group, 21 strong, is part of Wandering Wheels, an organization from Upland, Ind., that organizes bicycle and scooter tours for people of all ages.
"Our average age is 67," said Vivian Phillips from Ypsilanti, Mich., who was leading the pack Tuesday after their stop in Amarillo on their way to Myrtle Beach, S.C. "We started in Santa Monica, California. The trip should take us three weeks.
"We're staying on the secondary roads as much as possible. "
Tuesday's destination was Hobart, Okla.
"We're staying at a church there," Phillips said. "They're going to feed us and let us stay overnight. We stay in quite a few churches. It's kind of like a mission group."
Much of the route was on old Route 66, said Bob Benhoff from Chestertown, Md.
"We cover about 200 miles a day," he said. "Our top speed is about 40. The people along the way have been just awesome to us - very friendly and supportive. We're spread out like this so we don't tie up traffic."
Gas prices don't affect the scooter tour too much compared to the normal gas guzzlers people are used to.
"We get about 100 miles per gallon," said Cyrus Johnson from Auburn, Ind. "That's about a half day's fuel. Everybody met and joined the tour on the Internet. One lady's got 20,000 miles on her scooter."
The Wandering Wheels program dates back to 1964. The organization has conducted tours all over the United States and throughout the world, Wandering Wheels information states. Wheels has made 62 coast-to-coast trips with more than 3,000 riders.
In 1966 the first coast-to-coast bike trip was conducted from California to Delaware with all teenagers. The response to the 1966 tour was such that Wheels conducted two coast-to-coast tours in 1967 and soon the organization was into a year-round cycling program serving church youths from all over America.
"This all started out as a way to help kids in trouble by giving them some direction in their lives," Phillips said.
"We've got one lady in the group who is in her 80s. There are eight or nine women with us," Phillips said.
The trip started in Santa Monica and followed much of Old Route 66 across California into Arizona. The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley were stopping points, along with other beauty spots in Arizona. The tour exited Arizona at Four Corners, U.S.A., and made its way to Durango, Colo., and up over Wolf Creek Pass. From there it was south to Santa Fe, N.M., and on to Amarillo. A route just below Oklahoma City followed leading into Little Rock, Ark., Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., and the Smoky Mountains. Plans are to finish on the Atlantic Ocean at Myrtle Beach, S.C., for a total distance of about 3,200 miles.

Start the movie, already!
When people, most notably people who are players and coaches, wonder how sportswriters or commentators can properly critique an NFL game when said media members have never played in the league, here's my response: Have you ever acted? No? Yet you know a good movie when you see it, or a bad movie.
Football writers are like movie critics. The only difference is, Roger Ebert doesn't go to the movie set while they're shooting for eight months and write three stories a day about how George Clooney struggled to deliver his lines this week — "Clooney flubs could put movie in trouble."
There are no talk-radio discussions about how MGM needs to spend more money if it expects to stay competitive with Paramount.
Julia Roberts has starred in dramas. But there's never been a drama, not even in Hollywood, about how a sulking Roberts just punted the script away from the key grip.
Critics and everybody else wait for the movie. Then make their comments.
That's not how it works with the Broncos. Since the team was drubbed 44-24 by the pitiful Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 3, we have reported stories about why Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler didn't play in that game; the subsequent trades of Marshall and Scheffler; the departure of assistant coaches Mike Nolan, Bobby Turner and Rick Dennison; the hiring of Don "Wink" Martindale and promotion of Ben McDaniels; how the team wasn't going to give multiyear contracts to restricted free agents Kyle Orton, Elvis Dumervil and Chris Kuper; the acquisition of Brady Quinn; the release of Casey Wiegmann; the drafting of Tim Tebow; the injuries to Dumervil, Ryan Clady, Demaryius Thomas and Knowshon Moreno; the recovery of Clady; the meaning of Tebow; how the team gave contract extensions to Orton, Dumervil and Kuper; and . . .
"When I was younger, I liked all that hype leading up to the game," said Stanley Daniels, the Broncos' new starting left guard. "It would build up the anticipation and excitement of it. So that's why I would read it. I remember when I was growing up in San Diego and the Chargers were in the Super Bowl. You had Natrone Means and Stan Humphries, remember that? But when they built up to that in the papers? The whole city was so excited. To me, it helped me get pumped up."
They don't read all about it.
It was difficult to find a Broncos player who grew up reading the newspapers. I asked 12 or 13 players if they at least read the sports pages when they were kids.
I found just two: Daniels and veteran long snapper Lonie Paxton.
"Part of it," Paxton said. "My dad was big with the sports page. I'd get the leftovers."
Now that Daniels and Paxton have grown up to become NFL players, they have stopped reading the papers. Good reviews give a player a big head. A bad review gets them angry.
"You can't waste time or energy on what they're saying in the outside world," Daniels said. "If it's important, it will get to you."
When I was a kid, my dad, brother and I would fight over the Sunday sports section. The only time I didn't care to read football stories was in those two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
All that buildup and analysis. Start the movie, already!
"As a player, it can hurt you, if you let it," Paxton said. "The overthinking of things. You're thinking and thinking and thinking. But when you're a kid, it's all good chatter.
"If it's not one story, it's another story. If it's not one issue, it's another issue. You beat a dead horse. No matter what, the game's going to go on."
Today, at long last, the Broncos play the Jacksonville Jaguars in the season opener. Roll 'em.
Mike Sims-Walker, WR, Jacksonville
What's up: Jaguars' No. 1 receiver matches up against Broncos corners Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman today in the opener at EverBank Field.
Background: Entered the league as Mike Walker, his mother's maiden name. But he added his father's surname after his dad died in 2008. "My dad's been there since Day 1," Sims-Walker said. "He was the best father I could have asked for. That's the biggest loss I could have ever had. My dad and I always talked about changing my name, but we procrastinated. I wasn't expecting to lose him this early." Sims-Walker is familiar to Broncos fans as Brandon Marshall's best friend — they were teammates at Central Florida and Sims-Walker was the best man at Marshall's June wedding.
Klis' take: After breakout 63-catch, 869-yard season last year, fantasy players want to know if Sims-Walker can reach that next level of 80 catches and 1,100 yards. "I'm on Twitter, and I promise you I get 20 to 30 twits a day about how many people picked me up for their fantasy teams," he said. "I never knew this fantasy thing was that big. It's almost bigger than football, period."
Seven great memories to start the season
In honor of Game 1, the Broncos' seven (when in doubt, always use the number 7 in Broncos' lists) most memorable openers, out of 50 (with apologies to the 41-36 loss to the defending champ Rams in 2000):
1. Immaculate Deflection, 2009: Brandon Stokley, right, may be gone but his 87-yard snatch-run-kill-the-clock TD assures he will never be forgotten.
2. Eddie Mac and eve of 9/11: It wasn't so much that the Broncos beat the Giants, 31-20 on Monday night in the first regular-season game at Invesco Field. It was the nation watching Ed McCaffrey gruesomely suffer a broken leg. The next morning, the nation watched in horror again as terrorists attacked. This was the last sporting event before everything changed.
3. Sewell to Elway, 1986: The season that ended with The Drive and John Elway's first Super Bowl appearance started with a 38-36 win against the Raiders. Elway caught a 23-yard TD pass from Steve Sewell.
4. Half-a-Loaf Lou, 1971: Against the powerhouse Dolphins, coach Lou Saban runs out the clock, settling for a 10-10 tie. "Half-a-loaf is better than none," Saban said afterwards. The next home game, fans litter Mile High Stadium with half loaves of bread.
5. Toro! Toro! 2007: With no timeouts and 14 seconds left, the Toro! Toro! call sent the field-goal team scurrying onto Buffalo's field. Jason Elam was true from 42 with the clock reading 0:00 and scoreboard reading Broncos 15, Bills 14.
6. History That Led to Joe Namath, 1960: Broncos' first-ever game was also the first game of the American Football League. Gene Mingo's TD punt return pushed Broncos past the Patriots, 13-9 in Boston.
7. Orange Crush, 1977: Broncos' first Super Bowl season started fittingly with a 7-0, great-defense, little-offense defeat of the St. Louis Cardinals at Mile High. Key play was Billy Thompson's pick of Jim Hart.
1. Saints: Good teams win when they don't play well.
2. Rams: Made most significant acquisition of offseason: Stan Kroenke.
3. Browns: Made second-best offseason acquisition: Mike Holmgren.
1. Vikings: Favre looked gun-shy when pressured in pocket.
2. Cardinals: No team transitions from Kurt Warner to Derek Anderson without difficulties.
3. Colts: Gave up 40 points per game in a winless preseason.

"Idyllic Life : The Spice Island" Zanzibar Island by PierreZA
Zanzibar Island Travel Guide: 425 reviews and 979 photos
Try to get a window seat!
You will have the best views of Zanzibar as you fly in - it is very, very beautiful.
The island is much bigger than I thought, which was actually a pleasant discovery.
Zanzibar is made up of several islands, the main island is called Unguja, and the second largest is Pemba Island.
When driving around the island, I sometimes thought that I could just as well be in Kerala, South India. These two places are very much alike, although there are no backwaters in Zanzibar.
It is a short trip from Johannesburg, South Africa, which makes it a nice extended week-end break away. I would like to visit Zanzaibar again.
We stayed at a resort on the east coast, north of Bwejuu.
When I go to Zanzibar again, I think I would like to stay a few nights in Stone Town as well. There are some very nice hotels in Stone Town.
The other reason is that once at the resort, you can be quite isolated. This also imply that you actually have to rely on the hotel/resort for all transport etc (see my tip on Beach Boys for alternatives).
I also think that Paje could be a good option to stay, as it is a bigger village with more resources like a supermarket, more transport options etc.
Stone Town is a must see
The beautiful beaches
Friendly locals (most of them)
The laid back atmosphere
A very rich history to explore
Fantastic fresh fruit and good seafood

Im going to Zanzibar and am staying at Neptune Pwani resort. I would love to go to the rock restaurant! Can you give directions on how toget there?
Great tips !!!!!
Dag Skat! I have always been attracted to Zanzibar- great beaches & the spice history. We may consider a trip there on our next visit to RSA. AND its the birth-place of Freddie Mercury!!!I was a huge Queen fan (smile) Dala Dala reminds me of India.
I love those doors - have seen it on "Top Billing"

Canadian firm Saputo has extended its takeover offer for Warrnambool Cheese and Butter.
After four months of bids and counter offers, and a massive rise in Warrnambool Cheese and Butter's share price, Saputo's offer was due to close tonight but has been extended to January 22.
Whether either that bid, or the rival Murray Goulburn offer, are successful will depend largely on what failed takeover suitor Bega chooses to do with its stake in WCB.

A Liberal backbencher says the Qantas Sale Act must be changed to allow majority foreign ownership.
Dan Tehan was recently appointed the convenor of the Coalition's influential Friends of Tourism group, and says the 49 per cent foreign ownership cap is a straight jacket restraining the company's growth.
However, the Opposition's Anthony Albanese warns that removing the restrictions could cause the airline to be split up, possibly at the expense of regional services.

Hello all,
First, let me describe the behavior I am trying to implement. I have created a custom wrapper around Angelscript functions in order to make calling them easier. One of my wrapper functions handles the "pointer" case (i.e. the user passes a pointer as a parameter). In this situation, Angelscript can either accept this parameter using SetArgObject or SetArgAddress. What I would like to do is try SetArgObject first, and if that fails, then try SetArgAddress. However, the problem I am facing is that if I pass an invalid parameter to the context, it invalidates the entire context, and prepare must be called again in order to use the context again.
I did some digging into the Angelscript code and noticed that before the context actually sets the argument in SetArgObject, it first checks the function to see that the parameter is an object, and if it's not, it returns and error and sets the error code. It would have been nice, however, to know before calling SetArgObject that the call would be rejected, so that I didn't have to invalidate the context. The problem is it seems the data types used by Angelscript to check if the parameter is an object are hidden from the front-facing API.
What I would ideally like is to do the same check that the context does before setting the object to make sure I am passing in a valid object to the context to avoid destroying the current context state. Does anyone know any way to do this, other than modifying Angelscript?
I hope this hasn't been too hard to follow.
P.S. For Andreas: one solution I have come up with is to expose the asCDataType as asIDataType and allow users to query the data types for function parameters in the public asIScriptFunction interface. I would create a new method on asIScriptFunction, like GetDataTypeForVar(int index) which would return an asIDataType. If you are happy with this solution, I can implement it and send you a patch for your approval.

Okay, I'm 37 years old and I just found out I'm 4 1/2 weeks pregnant with our first child (yahoo!). The bad news is, I'm suddenly breaking out like a teenager! This is one symptom that I haven't read about in the books. Any body else suffer from acne while pregnant? If so, have you found anything that's helped? Thanks!
Help! Pregnant and breaking out
Married to my sweet DH on 08-11-07. Henry Grant was born 2/8/10 at 10.1 lbs, 22 in. Click here for birth story.
I think that was one of the first signs I had, that made me think I was pg.
Ive always battled acne, and for years Ive used proactiv and its worked wonders, i hardly go withouth, but right before i found out i was pg, even though I was using it regularly, I was still breaking out.....and I was breaking out in place I usually dont even break out...its not even like major pimple action or anything,you cant see them terribly, but they look like bumps....
There's not really anything that can be done about it, cept changing your pillowcases frequently, and trying to keep your hands away from your face, I sleep on my hands or lay with my hand under my chin....I'm sure that doesnt help matters!
Good luck......mind has gotten better as time goes on, so at least you know there's probably an end in sight (or it should at least slow down) once your hormone levels even out a bit.
~Mommy to 3~(sometimes I feel like DH is the 4th!)

i actually broke out horribly along my jaw line and that area is known for hormonal breakouts. i talked to my doctor about it and he said unfortunatley other than washing your face regularly and keeping your hands away from it theres nothing you can do but let it pass. the chemicals in breakout products soak into your skin and obviously your bloodstream and arent good for baby. my doc said no salicylic acid, no benzoyl peroxide. he did however say that a facewash containing triclosan (an anti-bacterial) should help me some. i picked up some clearasil that has that in it and things have subsided a bit, i am going on 14 weeks now and things have slowly started to clear up like my doc said they would. happy and healthy pregnancy to you!
My back is horribly broken out, I have noticed it goes in spells, not at 13 weeks its slowly getting better!!

Thanks you guys! Glad to know it's normal at least and that hopefully there's an end in sight. I'll have to check out the products you recommended too!

i have had this issue with both my pregnancies. i use this St. ives appricot scrub, its safe, i asked my midwife. and it helps me a lot. but its mostly just hormones. take it easy during the day, rinse your face with plain water a couple times a day, and drink LOTS of water. lol.
i wouldnt quite consider is acne but i have been breaking out way more than usual. my face is normally crystal clear! lol well not anymore. my chest and back have also been breaking out.

Hey! I am an Esthetician (skin care specialist) and I found this artical VERY interesting! Hope this helps!! :)
What you can do: Talk to your practitioner about what topical treatments are okay to use — some will allow benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid (an antibacterial cream available only by prescription). You may also be able to use creams that contain erythromycin or other antibiotics — as long as they're cleared by your practitioner. Don't use any medication, topical or oral, unless it's been prescribed or cleared by a practitioner who knows you're pregnant (or trying to conceive).
What solutions are off-limits: Serious breakouts in adults are sometimes tackled with such strong-arm products as Accutane, Retin-A, and other topical retinoids (tretinoin, isotretinoin, tazarotene, and adapalene) — all completely off-limits until after you deliver and wean, since they can be absorbed through the skin into your breast milk and your — and your baby's — bloodstream. More definite no-nos: tetracycline and oral isotretinoin, both of which can cause birth defects. In fact, it's best to avoid virtually all oral acne medication during pregnancy (though oral erythromycin may be prescribed safely for severe acne).
Two common topical medications, beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and salicylic acid, have not been studied in pregnant women and may be absorbed through the skin. There is a huge range of products that contain these chemicals, including many expensive skin creams as well as drugstore options like some Neutrogena, Oil of Olay, and Avon products — even those ever-popular Stridex pads. The key to playing it safe is to read the label and steer clear if BHA or salicylic acid is on the ingredient list, at least until after you deliver and wean. If you used products containing beta-hydroxy or salicylic acid before you knew you were pregnant, don't worry. Just stop now.
Baby #2 on the way! Another GIRL!!

It's a hormonal thing so topical treatments will be hit or miss for some... Wash your face and hands a lot and try to drink water (if you're not having M/S).
If you haven't tried this.....TRY IT!!!
DIAL GOLD bar soap! I am serious! Wash in the morning and at night with the soap and water. I have always had breakout problems (pre-pregnancy and during). It works WONDERS for me. I went to the dermatologist a while back and he suggested me using Dial Gold and I was like....uh- ok. IT WORKED and still does during my pregnancy. Don't try other kinds of Dial. Just the Dial Gold. It is a yellow bar. I hope you atleast try it! :-)
I am trying witch hazel right now instead of the salicylic acid I used before pregnancy. It is all natural and can be found near other astringents at the store. We shall see if it works!

by used car searcher from s.m. ca. |
I came to the dealer on a Sunday and had a hard time finding someone there at first. I walked into the office and it was empty. I finally found the employees on the other side of the office helping a customer. They were not dressed very professionally and were not able to make any deals due to the fact that the owner was not there. The person that helped me was very polite and helpful. The vehicle was detailed and clean yet had 4 different types of tires with one of them being the a different size. These things made me very unsure about buying here.

The ageless wonder
At 45 and still swinging the bat with authority, there's no end in sight for the seemingly ageless Julio Franco.
Originally Published: April 15, 2004By Tim Kurkjian | ESPN The Magazine
Julio Franco was a 155-pound shortstop who hit rockets to the opposite field for the Philadelphia Phillies' Class A Peninsula team in 1980. Twenty-four years later, at age 45, he is a thick, muscled backup first baseman who hits rockets to the opposite field for the Atlanta Braves. And now Franco's goal is to play until he's 50, which seems preposterous until he removes his shirt.
"Just look at him,'' says teammate Chipper Jones. "He's in better shape than anyone on our team.''

|Michael Pratt named Braley for Iowa deputy campaign manager
|News Releases - Politics & Elections
|Written by Jeff Link
|Friday, 09 August 2013 13:37
DES MOINES, IA – Iowa native Michael Pratt has joined Braley for Iowa as a deputy campaign manager. Pratt, a native Iowan, most recently served as finance director for Ed Markey's successful Senate campaign.
"I'm proud to welcome Michael Pratt to our team. His years of experience and dedication to progressive candidates and causes will build on our momentum in this race," said Braley. "With the addition of Michael to our experienced campaign team, we will continue to build a grassroots organization across the state and present my vision for a stronger middle class and new economic opportunities in every corner of the state."
Pratt is a native of Des Moines, Iowa and alumni of Dowling High School and the University of Iowa School of Law. He began his career as a researcher and legislative aide to Senator Tom Harkin and joined the finance team for Harkin's successful 2002 re-election campaign.
Among the top Democratic fundraisers in the nation, he served as finance director for Elizabeth Warren's successful U.S. Senate campaign, raising a record $42 million. Following the success of the Warren campaign, he took on the same role for Ed Markey's successful U.S. Senate bid.
Bruce Braley was born in Grinnell and grew up in nearby Brooklyn, Iowa. His father, a Marine, fought on Iwo Jima in World War II; his mother was a teacher. Braley worked his way through college and law school building roads and bridges with the Poweshiek County Roads Department, waiting tables, and tending bar. He worked as an attorney for 23 years before being elected to Congress. Braley has become known for his work on behalf of veterans, his advocacy for the middle class, and his bipartisan effectiveness. Braley lives in Waterloo with his wife, Carolyn. They have three children: Lisa, David, and Paul.

The Jahn–Teller effect: An introduction and current review61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17197View Description Hide Description
The Jahn–Teller effect (JTE) is defined and the historical background of the Jahn–Teller theorem is briefly discussed. The E⊗β system, an electronic doublet coupled to a single mode of vibration, is introduced as an elementary example and is used to illustrate features characteristic of Jahn–Teller systems. The spin resonance of Cu++ in various materials is considered and the particular case of Cu++ in a cubic crystal field is used to introduce the E⊗ε Jahn–Teller system. The linear and quadratic E⊗ε systems are discussed, and the linear case is used to illustrate the appearance of the Berry phase in a quantum system. The role of the Jahn–Teller effect in high‐temperature superconductivity is also discussed. In particular, the JTE‐based superconductivity theories of Englman et al. [Physica C 169, 314–324 (1990)] and Weber et al. [Physica C 162/164, 307–312 (1989)] are briefly reviewed. The possible roles of the Jahn–Teller effect in C60 (buckminsterfullerene) and superconducting K3C60 are also considered.
Diffraction of a Gaussian beam by a spherical obstacle61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17440View Description Hide Description
The Kirchhoff integral for diffraction in the near‐forward direction is derived from the exact solution of the electromagnetic boundary value problem of a focused Gaussian laser beam incident on a spherical particle. The diffracted intensity in the vicinity of the particle is computed and the way in which the features of the diffraction pattern depend on the width of the Gaussian beam is commented on.
A relativistic‐like presentation of optics in stratified planar media61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17198View Description Hide Description
A close comparison is presented between special relativity and optics of stratified planar media. This presentation, which may provide some useful tools in optics, can also suggest interesting thoughts and questions both in optics, in special relativity, and in quantum theory.
Scale invariance and the Bohr–Wilson–Sommerfeld (BWS) quantization for power law one‐dimensional potential wells61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17199View Description Hide Description
The classical periods of motion τ(E) are computed for a particle under the influence of a potential well of the form U(x)=α‖x‖ν, with both ν and α positive real constants. Assuming the reflection convention at the origin, these results can be extended to the cases where both ν and α are negative real constants. Also, the scale invariance exhibited by these potentials is analyzed using dimensional arguments directly on the classical equations of motion as well as the more powerful Lie method, appropriate for studying one‐parameter symmetry groups of differential equations. The action variables J(E) are obtained from τ(E) and the Bohr–Wilson–Sommerfeld (BWS) quantization rule for the energy spectrum of all the above potentials is reobtained. An interpretation of the results is given in the light of semiclassical arguments.
Time scales in the dynamics of the Lorentz electron gas61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17147View Description Hide Description
The dynamics of the classical Lorentzelectron gas acted upon by an external field is studied. The aim of the paper is to provide an instructive example of the application of the multiple time‐scale method. The subtlety and the rich physical content of the problem show in the appearance of quite different stages in the evolution of the gas: switching on effects of the field, quasistationary linear response regime, long‐time field dominated heating of the gas. The results reported here had been obtained previously in a different way.
The Wheatstone kaleidophone61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17148View Description Hide Description
In 1827 Charles Wheatstone described a device he called the ''kaleidophone.'' Its purpose was to illustrate the persistence of vision of the human eye, but it also provided a means of generating those curves that have come to be known as ''Lissajous curves.'' Wheatstone's kaleidophone and related curve tracing apparatus will be described.
Finite‐dimensional matrix representations as calculational tools in quantum optics61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17149View Description Hide Description
A powerful operator‐algebra technique is used to calculate several useful relations encountered in quantum optics, such as the disentangling of the squeezing operator. The technique uses a faithful finite dimensional matrix representation of a Lie algebra to perform representation‐independent calculations and often requires considerably less computation than other methods. While it has had little exposure within the quantum optics community, the method is quite popular with mathematical physicists in field theory.
A one‐dimensional statistical mechanics model with exact transfer integral solution61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17438View Description Hide Description
A simple one‐dimensional model with scalar variables −1≤s n ≤+1, coupled according to a Hamiltonian, H=−J∑ n ‖s n −s n+1‖, is presented. This Ising‐like model is an interesting example of a graduate‐level statistical mechanics problem where the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of an integral operator, the transfer integral, can be determined exactly. This can be contrasted with the determination of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of differential operators, such as the quantum mechanical finite‐depth square well. In this problem transcendental equations leading to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are also obtained. The largest eigenvalue is identified and the free energy is determined. The thermodynamic properties depend on the sign of J, unlike classical Ising or Heisenberg models.
Further properties of hydrogenic wave functions61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17150View Description Hide Description
The generalized and canonical momentum operators in spherical polar coordinates are derived and discussed, and the radial operators applied to the evaluation of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation for bound states of hydrogenic atoms. The two Pasternack relations, which connect the expectation values 〈r k 〉 for values of k differing by an integer, are examined, as well as a generalization of the first relation, and the advantages which they hold for computational purposes discussed. An earlier calculation by the present author, of the electron impact ionization cross section for hydrogen atoms in the 2S metastable state, is compared with other experimental data from the literature. The calculation of the wavelengths of transitions between hydrogen‐like levels in highly excited ions possessing a few additional, tightly bound, electrons is described and compared with experimental data.
An alternative calculation of light bending and time delay by a gravitational field61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17151View Description Hide Description
An alternative method is proposed to calculate light bending and time delay in weak and strong gravitational fields. This approach is elementary, straightforward and uses mathematica, a computer algebra system, to perform the numerical calculations.

In the days that followed Mayor Dan Sullivan's proposal to rewrite city labor laws, union groups and members rushed in to contribute $11,000 to two Anchorage Assembly races featuring candidates critical of the mayor's ordinance, campaign finance reports show.
Mayor Dan Sullivan unveiled a proposal to rewrite city labor law on Feb. 8.
The Sullivan proposal, still before the Assembly, would take away unions' right to strike, and it would limit raises, among other things. Sullivan says he wants to streamline union contracts, save money and make the city more efficient.
In Midtown Anchorage, unions have responded by pouring more money into the campaign of incumbent Assemblyman Dick Traini, who is against Sullivan's labor plan. Traini's opponent is Andy Clary, son of Anchorage Baptist Temple administrative pastor Glenn Clary and a conservative who has Sullivan's support and ran a close race against Traini in 2010.
Clary raised money from developers and other business people. Contributions to his campaign were about equal to Traini's as of the most recent state reports.
In West Anchorage, Assembly candidate and former School Board member Tim Steele began drawing union donations in February, but is still behind Cheryl Frasca in fundraising.
Frasca, Sullivan's former city budget director, received donations from the mayor and other city officials, developers and other business people.
The election for Assembly and School Board seats and bond propositions is now a little more than two weeks away.
Six Assembly seats are on the ballot, but three incumbents are unopposed: Paul Honeman in East Anchorage, Ernie Hall in West Anchorage and Jennifer Johnston in South Anchorage. Three newcomers, Peter Mulcahy, Amy Demboski and Robert Lupo, are running for an open seat representing Eagle River and Chugiak. Only Mulcahy and Demboski are raising enough money to have to file state reports.
"The only thing that's really different is the labor ordinance and the response of labor," said Dan Coffey, a former Assembly member and inveterate election watcher.
The timing of the ordinance also made a difference in who's running, said another former Assemblyman, Charles Wohlforth. The Sullivan plan became public on the same day the filing period closed to run for city offices.
"If it hadn't been dropped on the filing deadline, Ernie (Hall) would have had a strong opponent," Wohlforth said.
Hall, Assembly chairman, is a sponsor of the mayor's labor proposal, and no one filed to run against him by the deadline.
"I think the unions are realizing their people are highly motivated and doing what they can," Wohlforth said.
Traini picked up at least $7,000 in donations from union groups during February and thousands of dollars more from people who work for unions, or the city. That's as of the campaign reports due the first week of March.
Unions had donated $5,000 to the Traini campaign prior to the introduction of the labor ordinance.
Traini's campaign income jumped from $8,565 through Feb. 1, to $41,133 through March 1.
Some police officers and firefighters gave $500 each, and many others donated $100 or $200. Political action committees for the firefighters, police, laborers, operating engineers, plumbers and pipefitters, and APEA unions each donated $1,000 in February. The Teamster ALIVE raffle account gave another $1,000.
U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, who was mayor before Sullivan, gave $500.
Clary raised more money early in the campaign and ended up with nearly the same amount as Traini, $41,205, by March 1. His money came from developers such as Andre Spinelli and Connie Yoshimura, business owners, lawyers, builders and others, including $500 from Mayor Sullivan and another $500 from his wife, Lynette Sullivan.
Steele, the West Anchorage candidate, drew $4,000 from union groups in February. No union political action groups contributed to Steele's campaign before that.
Steele had raised a total of $26,215 by March 1.
Frasca, with Sullivan's backing, had raised the most of any candidate: $47,735.

What is that? by drewhoshkiwWatch
©2013-2016 drewhoshkiw
I saw this centipede-like creature crawling on a beach in Vietnam. I have no idea what it is though...
a great specimen of a sandworm
That's a good question 0_0
Haha, the title is exactly what I said when I saw the thumb.
Woah! Never seen something like this. Almost looks like some type of plant.
Ha, a plant that crawls!
hehe yes! Does it move fast or slow? Or switches between.. or is it so lazy it doesn't move at all? A lovely looking creature.
Sea slug or snail I believe is what it is. And btw thanks for adding me to watch list!
Very interesting
Wow, i would NOT like to find this in my room one day... although it is kinda cute...
Well but don't touch it...xD!!!
It's a type of catapillar!
wow, I love polychaetes! Great find!
AH! I love these! Polychaete worm, more specifically a species of fireworm (no touchies--burning venom!!!)
It's so gorgeous... The ones in the Caribbean are blue.
It's so gorgeous... The ones in the Caribbean are blue.
Don't you ever touch that beast!!
Did it once and my hands were itchy the rest of the day, no matter what i did!!
But nice picture though

But nice picture though
sand worm- the wiki is right - I have a couple similar in metho from the fish tank they get pretty big - this ones nice and colourful tho, very photogenic.
Is it a caterpillar?
that is either a sea slug or a sea cucumber Im leaning toward sea slug
If you found it on the beach, then maybe it is a new form of life that crawled up from the ocean!
Whatever it may be, it's awesome.
OMG the aliens are trying to conquest the Earth!
some kind of caterpiller of DOOM.
Agh.... It's creepy!!! but cool picture though!
sweet XD
a fuzzay catapillar
It looks nice
It's Wanderer from The Host

That title's very fitting. O..O
This shows the funny fact that many things that scare/disgust/terrify one in nature, when encountered, are closeup quite interesting. I have seen that about many insects that I wouldn't really want to see "in real life" Cool close-up shot.
Looks like a bristle worm!

Hello, AthenaBlackquill! Thanks for the recommendation! I've read the first four books in the series, so perhaps it's time that I continue with the rest. And Goodreads, I must say I've heard of it before, but never tried it out. That's something I'll have to do now! Thanks again
So good to have you on board, always lovely to meet new writers and by extension new people through thus little community, welcome
Thanks a lot, LORD-OF-JUSTICE, for such a warm welcome I think that's the best thing about dA, and what it's all about, really: meeting fellow artists.
Welcome! well, the only great fantasy series i ever recommend is the Night Angel trilogy or perhaps the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. Btw, I'm Muse. May I call you Denny?

Saturday, December 6, 2008. (AP) -- Army's cool new dress code resulted in the same old loss against Navy.
With President George W. Bush in attendance, Shun White ran for 147 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Navy over Army 34-0 Saturday for its seventh straight win in the storied rivalry between service academies.
Army (3-9) debuted camouflage helmets, pants and uniform numbers, and the backs of their jerseys had the words "Duty. Honor. Country."
Army's uniform makeover was sharper than its play. Bowl-bound Navy (8-4) improved to 53-49-7 in the one of the greatest rivalries in college sports.

text: I need a little advice. We did Ferber and let Zach cry. It took exactly 3 nights and he was sttn. He was doing well. Going to bed at 7-7:30 and then waking up about 6:30-7:00. Well now he is waking up at 4:30 consistently. He wakes up eats 6-8 ounces. Stays up for about an hour then falls back to sleep and sleeps until 7:00. What do I do? I feel bad letting him cry since it has been 9.5 hours. I think he could be going through a growth spurt but I know he can sleep until 6:30 or 7:00 straight through. HELP!!

Hello i was introduced to this site a while back and lurked around. I am at the stage in life where my husband and i are trying to conceive our first child. We have been doing it for two years now. Seeing this board, along with others i decided to sign up and get some help through my journey. Trying to conceive is hard but at the same time is double harder when you get pressure from family. For me and my husband we get the most pressure from his mother.ĀMyĀmother in lawĀhas no grandchildren (my husbandĀonly has one sibling, who is 10 years younger) and obviously wants one. Hints have been flying for a long time and it's getting uncomfortable. I am on friendly terms with her but not intimate terms, and I do not want to discuss it with her. Not to be mean, but she's frankly not very intelligent and has a (usually absurd) opinion on EVERYTHING which she repeats constantly. Also she is a huge gossip amongst the rest of my husband's extended family, which is huge. She just isn't known for being very tactful, nor are the rest of his family members. So we've always basically lied and made up excuses about why we are 'waiting'. But I have been married to her only son for 6 years and I'm starting to feel like I owe her an explanation or something. Tuesday she was talking to me about how she quit smoking (3 years ago) so she could watch her grandkids grow up, "If she ever has any"... And these are the comments I hear all the time. It feels like an elephant in the room but I still just don't feel comfortable sharing my medical situation with her.ĀWorst is that some of her sisters call me up saying that we should hurry up and make her a grandmother. She wants to be a grandmother and is overbearing.
Any advice on how to go about this?

I've developed a strange obsession with sock monkeys of late, so here is the first to be made from the pile of socks I've been collecting over the weeks! I thought that using new-born baby socks would make a tiny monkey, but it actually turned out bigger than I thought it would be! He's now sitting on my shelf waiting for some friends to arrive ;-)
Today I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this tutorial.
Would you let me know if that's OK?

This is so so cute, I might make my friend one of these for her baby, without the seed beads of course.xx
omg its so adorablee, i love the part where the nose is, whatever thats called and i think the color & size is great too :]

Thanks to those who brought this information about the new clinical trial for Imetelstat to the Geron message board. (Where was the PR from Geron?)
I was unfamiliar with Myelofibrosis so here is a brief definition cobbled together from a few sources.
"Myelofibrosis is a type of chronic leukemia — a cancer that affects the blood-forming tissues in the body. Myelofibrosis can occur on its own (primary myelofibrosis) or it can occur as a result of another bone marrow disorder (secondary myelofibrosis). It is a serious bone marrow disorder that disrupts your body's normal production of blood cells. The result is extensive scarring in your bone marrow, leading to severe anemia, weakness, fatigue, and often, an enlarged spleen and liver."
According to Ayalew Tefferi MD survival is about 6 years and there is significant degradation of quality of life including amimia with spleen and liver enlargement.
You can get an impression of Dr. Tefferi by doing a search on You Tube and viewing his video on past studies of Myelofibrosis done in 2008. He has done several clinical trials agents to treat this disease and at least one is now approved by the FDA.
The fact that he is now looking at Geron's Imetelstat is mildly encouraging. I still wonder why Geron never disseminates this type of Good News to its common share investors. Is there some type of FDA regulation against that or is it that Geron management simply has distain for us?
Sentiment: Hold
Question to Anna: What is Geron's involvement with this study?
Answer from Anna: This is an Investigator Sponsored Study (IST) that has opened to enrollment at the Mayo Clinic using imetelstat in patients with myelofibrosis.
Typical non-informative response from the Dr. No super secret spy organization.
Thanks ....based on your question to Anna I looked up IST and
Generally, Clinical trials can be divided into two groups, according to the type of Sponsor:
The typical industry-sponsored clinical trial, where the trial is conducted by a private entity ....like Geron
The Investigator Sponsored Trial where the Sponsor is a physical person (physician, nurse, dentist, or other health professional) or a "not-for-profit organization", which can be a governmental body, a public institution, or a research group..... like the Mayo Clinic study.
The (Spector) of transparency continues to plague Geron investors.
Anna should be replaced by someone who can talk the language of Wall Street. We do not need a PHD who does not know the Street and Main Street.
She apparently does what she is directed to do. The CEO and the COB are the ones who set the policy, not Anna!!

Betway Premier League Darts
Get ready for the UK and Ireland's biggest indoor sporting event. Premier League Darts has been running since 2005 and is your best chance to see the sport's top talents going head to head. Over the course of 16 meetings in different venues around the UK and Ireland, with the play-offs at London's O2 Arena, you'll see the likes of Phil "The Power" Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld do battle to be crowned champion once again.
"The Power" has been the dominant force in the competition over the years, taking the title in each of the first four competitions. James Wade took Taylor's crown in 2009, although he was back in the number 1 spot the following year. He's had to play second fiddle in recent years however, having not taken the crown since 2012. Van Gerwen took the title in 2013, Van Barneveld was victorious in 2014 and reigning Champion Gary Anderson took the honours in 2015!
The competition is continuing to grow year on year, originally consisting of 7 players, growing to 8 and now to its current format with 10. The league style of Premier League Darts sees a format that consists of an initial round robin group stage with all players playing each other twice, across the different UK and Ireland venues. This is a typical league format, with the added extra of "Legs Won Against The Throw" (LWAT) to separate the players if needed. The top four in the league table then go through to the final playoff, consisting of two semi-finals and a final.
With venues across the country including Liverpool, Newcastle, Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, and London; darts enthusiasts can enjoy an evening of premier darts action as well as seeing the sights and sounds of some of the UK and Ireland's most exciting cities.
Thomas Cook Sport invites you to the various venues around the UK to see the world's top darts players battle it out for the Premier League title! A great atmosphere awaits players and fans alike from February to May, from Leeds to London!

Hello, I'm an average person. Sure, I'm concerned about global warming, but it doesn't keep me up at night. It seems like more of a thing that concerns scientists or tree-huggers, not a layperson like me. Frankly, I don't completely understand the issues, and everything I hear helps convince me there's little I can do.

Since you seem interested, I'll tell you more about some experiences that led me to think this way:

My exceptionally bright niece is majoring in environmental studies at her college. Recently we had some time to catch up and we talked awhile about her classes. Despite her elaboration, most of what she said went right over my head. I ended up feeling more confused than before.

An environmental canvasser stopped me on the street, asking for a donation. When I asked how I could help in other ways, I was told that I needed to do things like consume fewer resources, cut my carbon emissions, and stop endorsing factory farming. Sounds good, I said, but how? He seemed bothered that I would ask such a question, as if the answers were absurdly simple.

So I hope you can better understand why I've been steering clear of environmental issues:

A lack of clarity feels painful, something people naturally try to avoid. When the consequences of personal choices seem big and unclear, one can feel guilty and helpless.

When trying to explain complex issues, more information can sometimes make things worse.

Perhaps if these well-meaning people could explain what such notions as "cutting your carbon emissions" specifically entail—in a way that regular folks can understand—they might have better success. Not only do they seem to be asking us to do a lot and to sacrifice a lot, but they leave it up to us to figure out both: 1) exactly what's going on; and 2) what we should be doing about it.

If I'm starting to sound like an all-around dullard, let me tell you about a time I did feel enlightened by complex new information:

I didn't understand my first computer well and hired a consultant. He started by asking me questions about what I knew, what felt unclear, and tailored his responses accordingly, connecting new information to my existing knowledge.

With care, he dispelled misleading notions I'd made about how things worked. His explanations were coherent and vivid, allowing me to comfortably explore further on my own.

Obviously computers and global warming are leagues apart. But they share common traits, such as how easily they can be confusing, and consequently, why many people avoid them. Some computer experts know how to help regular people understand. Environmentalists could do the same: take the time to understand laypeople before helping them understand the issues.

Why's that so important? Because the message I've been getting is: to avoid destroying the planet, we'll basically have to give up driving, stop eating meat, and spend the winter shivering in the dark. Embracing environmentalism can easily mean rejecting one's identity. That's something most people aren't likely to do.

I was taught the complexity of computers in a way that felt connected who I was. So I ask those of you who are "in the know" about the complex solutions for protecting our planet:

Explain the issues respectfully and in a way that the average person can relate to.

Give concrete examples of how we can each do our part without sacrificing our identities.
