Quadrupole Lens
Application ID: 829
Just like optical lenses focus light, electric and magnetic lenses can be used for focusing beams of charged particles.
This COMSOL Multiphysics model shows the path of B5+ ions passing through a focusing system of three magnetic quadrupoles. Each of the quadropoles focus the beam of ions in one transverse direction and defocus it in the other. The net effect on the beam after traveling through the system is focusing in all directions. Particle tracing of the ions is used to investigate the focusing effect of the quadropole.

Did President Obama give Tiger a mulligan?
(Page 3 of 3)
There are people who will not attend a performance by Vanessa Redgrave because of her outspoken support of Palestinian causes. That doesn't make sense to me. I can separate the actress and her performance from the woman. (See: Jane Fonda.) But I do understand those who see her work through the prism of her politics.
Going back to Tiger and Lance, Tiger's successes were legit and hard-won. I can cheer him on in a golf match. I get why the president played a round with him.
Armstrong is a tougher call. We can't know what he might have achieved in cycling without the doping. We just can't know. We can't say that he's a great athlete.
We do know that he helped many cancer survivors through LiveStrong. Let's leave it at that. He did some good. But if I were him, I wouldn't be expecting a call from the president any time soon.

Reviews & Community
After reading the comment about size, I'm...
After reading the comment about size, I'm wondering about size for me. I'm 33inches bust, 27 waist and generally wear an extra small in US and a small or medium in European brands. Not sure if small or medium is best. If you know that the size chart is not really accurate for this jersey and that the sizing is really smaller than listed in the size chart, I imagine I would take a medium. Please let me know your thoughts.
Yes, always a size up in the Euro. brands. Also, SOMETIMES the size charts on CompetitveCyclist vs. Backcountry differ...try looking there, too; plus you can get some different views of the same product they sell here, and even more (the companies are related). So, def. a "M" will likely be better. I am 5'6" and a bit heavier than I'd like to be, and I wear a 'XL' in the Euro. bike-wear lines (Giordana/Capo). Hope this helps.
Great quality, but check your size!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The construction and quality of the fabrics on this jersey are fantastic, but double check your size. I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend, who wears a small in every other manufacturer and the small in this is practically child size.. strike that, I don't think it would even fit my 13 year old daughter :). She wound up needing a large, and she's not a large woman.
Yeh, most of the European bike clothes run small...pretty much have to order-up on them. But some run even smaller, like the L.G. Supper leggera line, for example!
Great buy
Great fabric and quality, however, the zipper bunches up. Looks nice on and at 50% off, it's a great buy. Like all campi gear, runs small.
Sleek looking!
I bought the black one and I feel like a racer in it. It looks great on! I love the Campi riding gear and this doesn't disappoint!
LOVE this jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm most probably going to get another in a different color. I return the others I bought as this was was SO Much better quality. I won't buy Pearl Izumi anymore as I don't find the quality all that good. You get what you pay for.

Metallica poked fun at British critics who opposed singer James Hetfield's love of hunting prior to the band's headlining slot at the Glastonbury festival on Saturday by posting a video, in which they dressed up as bears, online.
Animal rights activists urged Glastonbury bosses to axe the group's set over the "Enter Sandman" singer's links to a new outdoorsman series – Hetfield, a longtime hunting fan, narrates the show.
Poking fun at the anti-Metallica critics, the group hired filmmaker Julien Temple to shoot a new video, entitled "Glastallica."
In the film, the band members play bears tracking down wealthy statesmen as they prepare for a fox hunt.
The video was shown prior to the band's set at Glastonbury.

On her way to the final at Greenwich Park, Dujardin topped even her final score, smashing the Games record set by Germany's Kristina Sprehe earlier that day, and finishing just a shade off the world record.
Her neatly executed routine was set to music and crammed with patriotic British tunes, such as Land of Hope and Glory and I Vow to Thee, My Country. It also included the chimes of Big Ben – adding a dash of humour and colour to one of the most technically demanding events in the Games.
In front of a cheering, shouting and stamping sell-out crowd of 200,000, she scored 12 tens to eclipse Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen and Parzival's score of 88.196, while her British teammate, Laura Bechtolsheimer, and Mistral Hojris won bronze.
Having earlier taken team dressage gold with Bechtolsheimer and her mentor, Carl Hester, she joined Kelly Holmes, Rebecca Adlington and Laura Trott as one of only three British women to have won two gold medals at a single Games.
The 27-year-old's achievement came a mere five years after she took up the sport competitively – she had aspired to be a jockey – and less than two years after her first Grand Prix dressage event, having been trained by British equestrian champion Hester, himself a Games veteran.
Dujardin took up riding aged two and tried dressage – where rider and horse must complete a series of complex moves such as the tempi, zig-zag, piaffe and pirhouettes – for the first time at the age of 13.
Hailing from a modest background, but competing in an expensive sport, she was able to buy her first Grand Prix horse, Fernandez, only in 2007, thanks to a legacy left by her late grandmother.
In 2011, she sold the 11-year-old horse to Norwegian rider Cathrine Rasmussen so she could buy a younger animal. It was, she admits, a tough decision, given the special bond that dressage riders develop with their animals – but of such hardy stuff are Olympic champions made.
Dujardin won her Olympic medals on Valegro, the Dutch gelding partly owned by Hester, who employs her at his yard in Gloucestershire.
He allowed Dujardin, then a groom, to ride the horse when he was a novice, with the expectation of reclaiming him when he had more experience. But horse and rider proved such a successful combination that they stayed together.
One of the side effects of Olympic success is that Valegro – considered the best Grand Prix dressage horse in the world – will be sold, leaving Dujardin to forge a relationship with a new equine partner.
For now, though, the surprise Olympic equestrian star is revelling in her breakthrough victories.
After winning individual gold, she said: "It is always something I've known the horse could achieve, but I didn't really know how I was going to find the atmosphere and the expectation. But when I got that phone call to say I had made the team for London, I was so determined. Not many people are going to have the chance that I've had to get to the Olympics in a year and a bit of competing in Grand Prix. I wanted to go out there and enjoy it. All I could do was to do my best. Valegro was feeling tired, but he got in there and he gave his all."

FedEx Trade Networks opens up new Chicago 'gateway' location
April 05, 2011
FedEx Trade Networks, a subsidiary of FedEx and the company's global trade arm, said this week it has opened up a new air and ocean gateway in Chicago.
Company officials said the new 104,000 square-foot location, with more than 85,000 square-feet for distribution, provides shippers with expanded service offerings, including freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and distribution services. They added that this new location, which is twice the size of its former Chicago office where it had a presence for 17 years, is in close proximity to Chicago O'Hare International Airport and intermodal rail facilities.
FedEx Trade Networks President and CEO Fred Schardt told LM that Chicago serves as one of the great commercial centers of the world and having a presence there is basically a must-have and ties into what FedEx Trade Networks is doing on a global basis.
"We started our global expansion in 2008 and since then we have opened up 33 offices outside of the U.S. and Canada in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America," said Schardt. "The strengthening of our U.S. network and enhancing our Chicago network, which is a key center, are really part of the overall strategy we developed two years ago. We need strength in the U.S. to compliment our strength overseas. It is all part of a strategic plan to make us one of the world's leading freight forwarders."
In terms of customer benefits, Schardt said FedEx is now fully equipped to offer Midwest U.S. shippers a full suite of ocean and air freight forwarding services on an inbound and outbound basis, customs brokerage, and distribution services.
The new location currently has about 80 employees and is expanding with the capacity for more staff. Types of positions at this location include import and export, warehousing, distribution, management, and sales teams.
"Being part of FedEx, FedExTrade Networks has access to the FedEx customer base on top of our 25,000 customers," said Schardt. "One of the unique advantages we have is being affiliated with the FedEx portfolio and it helps greatly with customer credibility. This new location is twice as big as the previous one and has more capabilities of what we can do to serve our customers."

Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Saving Mr. Banks SynopsisTwo-time Academy Award®winner Emma Thompson and fellow double Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks topline Disneys Saving Mr. Banks, inspired by the extraordinary, untold backstory of how Disneys classic Mary Poppins made it to the screen.
When Walt Disneys daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers Mary Poppins, he made them a promiseone that he didnt realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disneys plans for the adaptation.
For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesnt budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.
It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.

I'm thinking the USTA let Oprah visit Roger Federer's + Serena Williams' post-match pressers at the US Open today. How else do you explain these questions asked of both defending champions?
I mean, REALLY. She should be banned.
Q. You were just talking about young players, but what do you think the young Roger Federer who was trying to win the Orange Bowl and trying to somehow figure out the pro tour and get a rhythm, the young boy, what do you think he would think of Roger Federer today with all your records, all your accomplishments, your fame? What do you think his thoughts would be on Roger today?*sniffle, sniffle*
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I think I've come a long way. I didn't ever expect to be this successful. I knew I had something special in me, more talent that other players. Maybe the belief, you know, that I could play at a very high level on any given day. But I knew I had many problems of showing that day in and day out, because I struggled a lot in practice. So I think where I've come, it's absolutely amazing. Yeah, I mean, if my career to end today, you know, I'm a happy man. I achieved everything I could ever ask for, really.-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. You mentioned 10 years ago, but what do you think the little girl Serena Williams who signed herself up for her own first tournament would think of Serena Williams today with all the Slams, all the accolades?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Oh, my gosh.
Q. What do you think she would think of all this?
SERENA WILLIAMS: I think when I first signed up with that tournament, what you read about in my book, I think that I would just be really I would think that this Serena Williams today is super cool. I would love to get her autograph. I think she would have been my idol, because it would have been like growing up there weren't too many black people. I loved Zina Garrison and Lori McNeil. I would have had a little favorite toward myself and Venus.

Arttu, a swell guy who helped with the editing of the Iron Sky demo/teaser, is a really active fellow. Now he's been involved in the design of an intriguing online game called Swell. Well, maybe calling it an online game gives the wrong impression. The designers themselves call it a "web riddle".
Swell is a collection of clues – mostly visual ones – making up a set of "levels". The goal is to discover the way to the next level until the end is reached. (I'm told there is an end, but it's not easy to reach, and anyway the game is expanding.) Advancement generally happens by figuring out the URL of the next level, or finding a link and thinking of a password. There's a social aspect, in that there's an IRC channel dedicated to discussing Swell.
While it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, Swell is pretty much guaranteed to hold your interest if you're into puzzles and brain games. Personally, I fell for the Finnish geocaching/riddle game "Tajunnanvirta" (a version of Igor Naverniouk's Funny Farm) some time ago, so if you like those, you might get a kick out of Swell as well. If not, well, you should try everything once. It seems that something… familiar can be found later on…
The address where Swell resides is http://swell.kapsi.fi.

That is ... REALLY tiny. Next time give us the full size
Here is my first map here. It is a world map, icosahedron style, made with blender.
I simply unwrapped an icosahedron to get the UV map as a unfolded icosahedron for use as a planet map. I think used a series of different procedural noise textures to make the map and colored it with the color ramps. This one is mainly clouds but I also experimented a bit with using voronoi crackle to simulate tectonic plates. I wanted to see if there was a correlation between those and the other forms of noise if they all used the same or closely similar parameters.
I think this method shows promise.
Here is the untouched UV map exactly as baked within blender. ( well..I did resize it..the original was 2048x1024 )

GE's global EV drive begins in Australia
- Date
- 04 July 2011
MELBOURNE: GE has said it will buy at least 1000 electric cars in Australia as part of its plans to purchase 25,000 EVs globally by 2015, which will accelerate the Clean Revolution in the EV sector.
GE's announcement was made during the unveiling of the Renault Fluence Z.E., at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show, Melbourne.
The Renault Fluence Z.E. is the first electric vehicle (EV) that comes stocked with a switchable battery, which means that drivers can exchange depleted batteries with fully charged ones at Better Place's switch stations, as part of a new partnership between GE, Better Place Australia and Renault.
Justin Hocevar, Managing Director, Renault Australia, said at the show: 'We are excited to be partnering with GE and Renault, two companies who are leading the world in their commitment to zero emissions driving. Together, Better Place, GE and Renault will make electric vehicles a driving force in this country.'
At the event, Ben Waters, Director of Ecomagination GE Australia and New Zealand, says that GE are a 'strong supporter' of EVs, and after their huge and pioneering announcement said: 'We look forward to being an early adopter of electric vehicles in this country.'
GE's aim of buying 1000 EVs in Australia is the first action of their plan announced in November, 2010 to buy 25,000 EVs by 2015, which is the largest ever single electric vehicle commitment.
Evan Thornley, CEO, Better Place, says: 'Today's statement from GE and the unveiling of the Fluence Z.E. are the culmination of a range of announcements over the past few weeks that clearly show that the transition to mass-market electric cars is beginning in Australia.'
Robin Haycock, Head of Transport, The Climate Group, says: 'GE's commitment will drive the large-scale up-take of EVs in Australia, as well as accelerate the country's technological innovation, competition and economy. I love the work that these guys are doing. It is one of the first business consortiums to realize that putting a compelling package together for the consumer is the way to get sales of EVs and the market to take off. We have worked with GE on our EV20 US initiatives and I hope more will come from this relationship, as they are pioneers in the EV sector.'

Towards a Green Society? Participation for Social Change
18 Jun 2012 - 18 Jun 2012This workshop will consider the forms of participation, contestation, coalitions, alliances and compromises that are emerging�or might need to emerge�to promote green economy approaches that contribute to sustainable development and poverty eradication. It will be a mix of conceptual debate, concrete examples and discussion time, emphasizing the role of collective action, civil society, broad-based participation and coalition building in contestation around green economy.
Milton Santos Tent, People's Summit, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Milton Santos Tent, People's Summit, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Recent UNRISD research indicates that broad public action and diverse forms of participation play an important role in contesting green economy and in forging solutions that are compatible with goals of social justice, equity and poverty eradication.
Which green economy model prevails will depend not simply on rational decision-making by leaders and technocrats informed by consultations with stakeholders; it will emerge from political processes and governance arrangements, and reflect the balance of social forces. Civil society has a crucial role to play in crafting transition paths that are green and fair through the social organization of disadvantaged groups, social movements activism, participation in knowledge networks and policy processes, and building broad-based coalitions for change.
Civil society organizations can act as a conduit for local knowledge to shape public policy; they draw attention to the need for active citizenship in making claims on the state or other power-holders, in order to shape policies that are just and, in particular, address the needs of vulnerable citizens.
Agenda and speakers
Peter Utting, Deputy Director, UNRISD
Contestation, participation and alliances; building coalitions and social pacts; the role of civil society, business and UN coalitions in pressuring for social change.
Film: �Green Economy Coalitions for Change�

Dorsey-Walker's Wait Is Almost Over
AMES, Iowa – If you are looking for Sherron Dorsey-Walker you can probably find him at 1011 South Dakota Avenue in Ames, more commonly known as the Sukup Basketball Complex. The redshirt freshman doesn't have many hobbies. Ask him how he spends his downtime and he doesn't hesitate to tell you where his focus is.
Between jump shots and textbooks, there isn't much time for anything else. And that is just fine to Dorsey-Walker, who was one of the top prospects out of Michigan as well as class valedictorian at Pershing High School in Detroit.
"I just like to work out and come to the gym," the 6-4 guard said. "I try to keep a good focus on my school work, keep my grade point average up. That's my focus. Basketball and school work are about it for me."
That focus helped as Dorsey-Walker spent the 2012-13 season practicing, but not playing. With a number of experienced players in front of him, Dorsey-Walker instead focused on building his physique and honing his game, which he agreed needed a little fine tuning despite entering college as the 24th-best shooting guard in the Class of 2012.
Dorsey-Walker spent a lot of time with director of strength and conditioning Andrew Moser and head coach Fred Hoiberg.
"Coach Moser had me working hard, lifting every day trying to build my frame," Dorsey-Walker said. "I came in at 172 pounds and am up to 200. It was good for me to concentrate on that."
If you want to improve your jump shot, you can't pick a better role model than Hoiberg, a former Iowa State and NBA sharpshooter. Hoiberg worked with Dorsey-Walker on his footwork, release and follow through in hopes of building consistency.
"I came to college with a tendency to shoot the ball and let go of my release quickly," Dorsey Walker said. "Coach Hoiberg helped me with my follow through and also helped me get out of the habit of falling back on my shot. I go more straight up than I used to."
The opportunity to train with and against experienced players like Chris Babb, Will Clyburn and Tyrus McGee was not lost on Dorsey-Walker either.
"I had a chance to learn a lot from Will, Babb and Tyrus last season," he said. "They beat me up all year in practice and I had to fight back every day. It taught me a lot about competing at a high level.
"My development was about being consistent and getting stronger. You play against a guy like Chris Babb every day and you can't help but improve. It was tough starting off but I started to get into the swing of things and learned a lot of things I can use next season."
As much as the redshirt season helped Dorsey-Walker improve his fundamentals, he still feels that his biggest strength is one of the intangibles.
"My No. 1 strength is that I like to win," Dorsey-Walker said. "I can play defense, I can score and get my teammates involved, but I am just the kind of person that wants to do anything to help our team win."

17 charged in LIRR copper-wire theft
(Page 2 of 2)
"The 15 employees allegedly involved have been suspended without pay," said LIRR President Helena Williams. "Any public employee found guilty of these types of charges faces dismissal from the LIRR. In addition, the LIRR is taking immediate action to tighten security measures in an attempt to prevent future thefts of this nature from occurring again, including increased video surveillance of yards and shops where scrap metal is stored and more secure storage bins across our property."
When asked whether he believed the theft of copper wire, when viewed alongside the LIRR pension fraud trial, showed there was a culture of theft in the LIRR, Kluger responded that he did not believe so.
"No, I would not categorize this as a culture of theft," Kluger said. "Obviously there is a problem. It's not isolated to the Long Island Railroad. There are issues that need to be addressed with the control and oversight of employees."
Two of the employees charged were assistant foreman, while the 13 others were communication signalmen. The defendants are charged with varying counts of conspiracy, criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny and theft of services. The defendants face anywhere between up to one year in jail for those with less severe charges to seven years in prison for the alleged ringleader.
The 17 defendants were arraigned Friday by Judge Angelo Delligatti, and the prosecutor for the case is Deputy Chief Christiana McSloy of the Public Corruption Bureau.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Monday morning, longtime D.C. Councilman Jim Graham became only the second legislator in the District to be reprimanded by his colleagues for conduct in office.
Graham told WUSA9 earlier that he would no longer fight the reprimand, which was sparked by the D.C. Board of Ethics finding that Graham offered to trade his vote on the city's $38 million lottery contract in exchange for a company dropping its bid to develop a property owned by Metro while he was a member of the Metro board.
At the hearing Monday, Graham disagreed with the chairman's conclusions but said he appreciated his fairness. Graham told the crowd that while the reprimand law says no hearing is required, this is a legal issue involving everyone on the Dias.
Graham commented on losing oversight authority on alcohol issues, defending his actions to bring what he says were needed changes on sales to minors and other related issues. He said that losing the responsibility was difficult because it has nothing to do with the Metro board issue.
Graham said in a statement released on Monday, "It is time to move on. I have very important responsibilities as chairman of the human services committee and all the responsibility of representing Ward 1. Going forward, I will continue to represent the people who elected me to serve with the same passion and fervor as I have from my first day in office."

"You really going to do this?" Jerry Seinfeld asked Jimmy Fallon at a recent charity event.
"What do you mean?" Fallon replied. NBC had just announced that the 39-year-old would succeed Jay Leno, who will — and he really means it this time — leave "The Tonight Show" in February 2014.
"You realize there's no end to this job," Seinfeld explained. "You'll just do this 'til you die. It's the pope job."
"The pope job." Fallon laughed, but Seinfeld kept going.

"Have you seen the pope?" the veteran comic asked of then-Pope Benedict XVI. "He can't even lift his head up. He's mumbling the prayers. No one even knows if he is saying prayers. That's what this is. This is what you want?"
It is — which is how Fallon ended up earlier this month on a whirlwind trip to 25 cities, including Seattle. He recorded promos at KING 5 television (the NBC affiliate), ate at Dick's Burgers, performed for a packed house at the Paramount Theater and did a spot-on impression of Jack Nicholson talking about the prize in a box of Cracker Jack.
And he spoke with both boyish wonder and professional ease about his new job — as just the sixth host of "The Tonight Show."
"Someone was saying that more people have walked on the moon than hosted 'The Tonight Show,' " Fallon told me. "Me, I've done both, so that's really good."
It's all just sinking in — this job that most people think is his dream job, but never was.
"There's no way it could be a dream job because I wouldn't even dream," Fallon said. "When I was a kid, you don't think that Johnny Carson is a job you could have."
He didn't even know what a job was when he was a kid. He just wanted to be a baseball player. Then when he found out what a job was, he wanted to work at IBM, "Because that's what my dad was. He was a technical writer and he fixed computers."
So Fallon, who was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Saugerties, N.Y., attended The College of Saint Rose in Albany and became a computer-science major. But his grades were bad, so he switched to communications and after graduation moved to Los Angeles to work as a stand-up comedian.
He joined The Groundlings comedy troupe and got small parts in film and television before joining "Saturday Night Live" in 1998.
There, he and then-writer Tina Fey discovered their chemistry. She wrote for him before becoming head writer and later joined him on camera to co-anchor "Weekend Update."
Fallon left "SNL" in 2004, but on his way out, was tapped by producer Lorne Michaels to take over the 12:37 a.m. spot from Conan O'Brien, who had just been tapped to replace Leno five years from then.
"Lorne said, 'Look, I don't know if you're interested in hosting a talk show …' and I said, 'I don't think so. I don't know what I'm going to do.' And Tina Fey was in the office and she said, 'You could totally do that. You're Irish, charming, you talk to everybody all the time. It will be good.' "
Fallon wasn't sure. He wanted to do movies.
"Cut to, my movie's not working and Lorne calls me up five years later and says, 'Hey remember, the talk show thing? You still into it?' "
NBC didn't want him at first. They had a list of other people ("I don't know who was on the list; I don't remember") and Fallon was going to meetings, "almost begging" for the job.
"They were like, 'Well, it's very important and it's a really hard job and it's hard work' and I said, 'I know, I love hard work. I love to work hard.' "
Michaels made the decision for everyone, saying that if NBC didn't want Fallon for 12:37, he wasn't going to produce the show.
Friends offered him all kinds of advice. Stephen Colbert told him something that Conan O'Brien had been told by Johnny Carson: "In this job, you'll use everything you ever learned in life."
"And boy, oh boy is that true," Fallon said.
Everything he's ever done — even his college impression of "Cheers" character Cliff Claven — he's done on "Late Night." He sings, he raps, he does spoofs.
"But I wish Steve Allen were still alive so he could see what we were doing with his baby, with 'The Tonight Show,' " Fallon said. "Because I think he'd be psyched. He'd be like, 'That's what I set out to do.' He was doing what we plan on doing: being silly, being absurd and just having fun. He was the first guy to lay in the giant bowl and pretend he was a banana split and have ice cream and chocolate syrup poured on him. Way before Letterman. He made it nuts to do that on TV."
Jack Paar made it more of a talk show. Johnny Carson did sketches and sang. Every host, Fallon said, put his mark on it.
And while Leno and O'Brien scrapped over the show's debacle of 2010 — when Leno stepped down and then took the franchise back from O'Brien — Fallon remains neutral.
"I didn't have a dog in the fight," he said. "Conan was the first talk show I had ever been on, but Jay had always been good to me. I didn't want to choose a side, and I didn't have to, because all I had to do was keep doing my job, which was at 12:37, which I wouldn't have if it wasn't for Conan O'Brien, which he wouldn't have had if there was no David Letterman."
None of them are his role models. "Johnny Carson is the guy you look up to. Because there are so many moments where he just made you laugh, he made you cry. The guy just had something."
Fallon is well aware of the legacy he's been handed.
"It's an honor," he said. "I don't want to let anyone down. I want to make everyone proud. I wish people around would say, 'Yeah, this kid is doing it. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing.'"
Many things he now does on "Late Night" will follow him to "The Tonight Show": The Roots, the singing, the "Thank You Notes" and the regular visits from good friend Justin Timberlake.
Anyone he's itching to have as a guest?
"The queen would be fun," Fallon said. "I don't know what we could do together — play Wii?"

I checked out the flash intro and logged into the live demo. It looks real great, especialy for a first release but going around in the client is extreamly slow (5-10 seconds before action hapens after clicks). My computer is a little older but the CPU didn't seem to be going up too much. It actually appeared to lock up a few times when I clicked more than once and it was still "processing". Clicking the back button in the browser re-inited the session and then it was ok again.
A couple other nasties:
- Is there any keyboard navigation at all?
- Resizing/moving calender items via drag seems like start time ends up 3 hours later than were it was dragged to. Also, time overlapping events don't go side by side but literaly overlap
- Idealy conversation view would be more a threaded view with expand and collapse [+] or [-] icon.

It took a lot of time to revamp our blog. Seriously, it was an all-consuming-of-any-second-of-free-time sort of thing. But more importantly it meant we never had the chance to post about our Manila weekend getaway we took a few weeks ago. So get cozy, relax and let us take you back.
A few months ago we bought two tickets to Manila, Philippines. We needed some sort of ongoing flight (out of Taiwan) to receive our 60-day Taiwanese visa, so we decided to buy the cheapest flights available at the time—2 flights to Manila leaving at 1 a.m. on Sunday morning of September 11th (I know, you're pretty jealous you weren't on that flight too). We quickly forgot about the tickets, never planning on really using them. But as luck would have it, we had Monday the 12th off work for Moon Festival. So when planning what we would do for the long weekend, we obviously realized that Manila was now on the table. The only problem? We would have exactly 48 hours in the country celebrated for it's picturesque islands and top-notch scuba diving, but with only enough time to experience Manila. After a hard-fought battle of pros vs. cons that wasn't actually that difficult, we decided the trip would still be worth it (of course!).
So while we are by no means experts after having only spent 48 hours in the city, here is our list of dos and don'ts for a successful weekend in Manila.
Do: Mi Casa Su Casa
We don't normally spend money on accommodation, but what CouchSurfers would want us banging on their door at 4am after groggily passing through customs? We decided to spend a little bit more than we would have at a hostel to stay at a decent hotel within walking distance of Manila Bay. Casa Nicarosa was our choice, and we found it absolutely fabulous. The hotel has Spanish-Mediterranean decor, with whitewashed walls and a great veranda where you can order breakfast. It's still very basic and the WiFi only works in the lobby, but for the price, location and friendliness of the staff, it has our vote.
Don't: Bring Your Bling
That might be basic knowledge for most, but we just wanted to throw it in. Like any city anywhere in the world, Manila has good areas and bad areas. There's no reason to walk around scared to death, but use common sense and leave the solid gold dollar-symbol necklace at home.
Do: Wow Your Friends with Historical Facts, Then Check Out the Sights
We're not going to give a history lesson here, but if you aren't familiar with the Philippines, we recommend a quick Wiki search to at least learn the basics. (A few bullet points: the Spanish colonized the Philippines, the Spanish ceded the islands to the U.S., and Manila was the second most damaged city in WWII.) We know you'll bust that out at the next party you go to!
- Intramuros: Literally meaning 'within the walls', this fortified city surrounded by defensive walls was built under the Spanish. Although the oldest part of modern day Manila, the majority of Intramuros had to be rebuilt after it was severely destroyed during WWII by both Japanese and US air forces (sorry guys). Parts of Intramuros are of course touristy—including the 18-hole golf course flirting with the perimeter—but communities of locals (most of whom don't play golf) also live here. When walking around, it doesn't take long to stumble across slum dwellers going about their daily activities while barefoot children play ball in the street.
- Fort Santiago: Also built by the Spanish, the fortress is essentially part of Intramuros. Historically constructed to protect against pirates, the fort had many other roles throughout its history, including prison and Japanese torture chamber. Today it's slightly kinder to outsiders, and is perhaps the most preserved area of Intramuros. An entrance fee of 40 pesos (about $1 US) grants access to the fortress where you can also relax at a café, shop in a gift store, and lounge on the park grounds while quiet music plays in the background.
- Rizal Park: Also known as Luneta Park, it's located right outside of Intramuros. The park is a common place to see families lounging around and kids flying kites, and often there are free concerts on the grounds. Jose Rizal, famous for starting the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish, was executed on the park grounds; the Rizal Monument, one of the more famous landmarks in Manila and Rizal Park, commemorates his martyrdom.
- Quiapo Church: The main reason to visit this Roman Catholic Church is to catch a glimpse of the Black Nazarene. The statue of Jesus is believed to have miraculous properties, and every Friday night thousands of Filipinos attend a novena, or devotion, to the Black Nazarene.
Don't: Be Afraid of the Path Less Trodden by Travelers
While the aforementioned sights are important for understanding the history and culture of Manila, there is so much more to what Manila actually is. The best way to get a feel of the city is to walk around where the people truly live. A good place to warm-up is the Divisoria, a crowded and chaotic market with tons of cheap goods and prime bargain shopping.
Do: Put a Smile on your Face (Especially in a Jeepney)
Filipinos are awesome. Obviously I know that's a generalization about an entire nation of people based off of the few encounters we had; however, we still want to say it. The jeepneys are the most common, and possibly the most practical, mode of public transportation in Manila. They're cheap and the drivers cram you in like sardines, so they are a great way to start chatting it up with the locals, most of whom speak ENGLISH. We met one man who insisted he pay for our jeepneys while giving us the lowdown on Manila and the entire jeepney system. We met another woman who toured us around the Quiapo Church, submitted her ID so we could take pictures of the Black Nazarene, and then took us out to lunch. There is no point in traveling to another country if you aren't going to talk to anyone for fear they will mug/kill/sell you into a brothel like something straight out of Taken. More than likely, that's not their intention. Plus, how are you really going to learn about a place if you don't talk to anyone? We're not telling you to jump into a tinted-glass vehicle or give them all yo digits, just chat it up over some Filipino kare-kare.
Don't: JUMP INTO A RANDOM TINTED-GLASS VEHICLE
That being said, when you do take a taxi make sure it's legit. Look for a registration and make sure they see you study it, just in case. Nothing puts a damper on a trip like a taxi driver taking you into a back alley. It's also not fun if someone hijacks the taxi driver while your stopped at a red light, so go ahead and roll up those windows and lock the doors.
Do: Stay Up Past Midnight
Manila has great nightlife that includes way more than go-go girl bars. We choose a bar adjacent to our hotel with cheap pitchers of the local brew, San Miguel, but there are tons of options in Remedios Circle, along Manila Bay, and in the business district of Makati. We had quite a surprise when 20 minutes into the night a heavy metal/screamo band came on stage, to the excitement of the Filipino crowd. Not typically our scene, but really fun to watch the locals jamming to Metallica and System of a Down covers.
Don't: Take Deals That Sound Too Good To Be True
If the horse carriage driver says that he will drive you 20 minutes to the Mall of Asia for only 20 pesos, or 50 American cents, he's lying. That goes for any mode of transportation. We actually have first-hand experience on this one. Details to come in the next blog post…
Do: Put Your Tummy To The Test
The Aristocrat is the place to chow down on a Sunday afternoon. They claim to have the best chicken barbeque in town, and we can certainly see why. This is a great place to try some local cuisine, whether it's lumpiang ubod (spring rolls), crispy pata (deep fried pork knuckles) or kare-kare (oxtail and vegetables in a peanut sauce). It's located right by the Manila Bay, so go crazy at dinner before hopping over to the Bay to capture a bit of its famous sunsets.
Don't: Flip Out When Bicycle/Taxi Drivers Harass You
It was hard not to lose our temper when we walked past a taxi stand and literally every single one of the 30 cycle rickshaw/bicycle taxi drivers asked if they could bring us somewhere. Seriously, most of the time we were exactly where we wanted to be! But hey, they're just trying to make a living like everyone else, and it's hard to actually get annoyed when you see a lot of them sleeping in their cart at night. We're still visitors in their country, so if you're like us and really don't want a ride, politely say no (and no and no and no).
It was a whirlwind of a weekend. We had to take a taxi to take a train to take a bus to take a plane to take another taxi before we even arrived! But we will definitely be back. While we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Manila, 48 hours was just not nearly enough.

ATLANTA -- The new Falcons stadium deal is under attack. Common Cause Georgia is now fully opposed to the project and is telling the Falcons to put the brakes on it and get the public more involved in what's going on.
"We are opposed to any public financing of a new stadium in downtown Atlanta," Common Cause board member Wyc Orr said during a news conference in downtown Atlanta.
Common Cause believes that more public input is needed and claims that everything has been done behind closed doors.
"You're left very clearly with the negotiating parties excluding the public while including the public's money," Orr said.
The Falcons and the Georgia World Congress Center want a deal before year's end and have already hammered out the terms. The $1.2 billion dollar project would need as much $300 million dollars in public money, which would come from a special tax on hotels and motels. The deal could also involve giving up $25 million dollars with sales tax forgiveness on new construction materials. Also, there are unknown costs, like how much it would cost Atlanta taxpayers to provide the necessary infrastructure.
"The Mayor of Atlanta has said that there is an unknown amount of money that will come with the cost of infrastructure improvements. Well, could you imagine the legislature to pass a bill and saying we don't know exactly how much it will cost until you pass it?" said Common Cause Executive Director, William Perry.
Common Cause is demanding that before an agreement is signed, an independent economic impact study should be done, the full terms of the agreement should be published, and the public should have 90 days to comment.
Georgia World Congress Center spokesperson, Jennifer LeMaster, told 11Alive that an economic impact study was done and that the public has been involved.
Polls indicate that the majority of the public opposes public financing for a private stadium. However, the Georgia World Congress Center says it's trying to achieve the best deal for taxpayers that would keep the Falcons in Atlanta. LeMaster made it clear, the Falcons will be moving out of the Georgia Dome in 5 years and that could mean moving to the suburbs, if the proposed deal falls apart.

Email response from Georgia World Congress Center:
The GWCCA is committed to promoting transparency and accessibility in all areas of our business - not just as it relates to the new stadium project. Our full Board of Governors meets once monthly during a regularly scheduled time that is posted up to a year in advance. Other committee meetings are also scheduled on an as-needed basis and all are open to the public. All meeting agendas are posted no less than 24 hours in advance and meeting minutes are recorded and posted for public consumption. In addition, a stadium development microsite was established to archive our efforts making the public's access to information on Atlanta's proposed new stadium project unprecedented.
CCGA holds no elected position as a representative of the public and has only attended one of literally dozens of open meetings that have been held during these negotiations. As with any private citizen, they are entitled to their opinion and we respect their right to share it with the press.
Our objective, however, remains the same...to protect and provide for the best interests of the Authority and the State of Georgia and its residents.
We will have no further comment on any current or future demands made by CCGA.
Jennifer LeMaster| Director of Communications

the seatpost is temporary, replacing it with a silver thompson elite.
Since ridden on the track, the stem was brough up 2 inches, it was just a tad too low for me.

This is a little somethin' I finally finished putting together. Now I can add it to my collection of other bikes that are entirely too nice for me and get ridden entirely too infrequently. Our head wheelbuilder added his special touch when he built the rear for me; I can now see the allure of unlabeled deep section rims after seeing the front on the bike.
DW, it's John at Zipp. Are you going to be able to talk Nate into hitting Major Taylor?

That's a sharp bike, luckily, I saw it up close and personal at a Thursday night race at Major Taylor when DW showed up. Wish I could put that much $ into a track bike, but I get all of my stuff out of luck and favors.
An Australian built frame. Serious seat stays. Zeus Ti BB, cranks and seat post. Campy hubs. It's a great bike to ride.
