emiT Internal Webpage | EWI Homepage | NPL | UW Physics | UW Homepage
emiT is an experiment to test a fundamental symmetry, T-invariance, by measuring the correlations between the neutron spin and the momenta of the electron and proton. A measurement at the NIST cold neutron facility in Gaithersburg, MD, was completed in 1997, and a second is to take place in 2001 with an extensively upgraded apparatus.
For a brief overview of the current status of emiT see the current NPL Annual Report.

I'm trying to figure out what the b-value is called? y=sin(bx)
I've heard some say that it's the frequency or angular frequency, but if my x-values are radian values and not time then what would "b" be called?
Angular frequency seems more accurate than frequency. In my understanding, angular frequency, or angular speed, is the number of radians per second. And frequency is the number of cycles per second. But those are both per a time unit which means that "b" must be a unit of time. But my x value is the number of radians.

23andMe's New and Improved Maternal Haplogroups
April 1, 2010
Why update the haplogroups?
Maternal haplogroups are of greatest interest if (a) they have a known history or (b) they enable people to discover others who are related to them. Scientists are continually revising the tree that indicates which mutations define each maternal haplogroup, and how all the haplogroups are related. The more up-to-date the tree used for haplogroup assignments is, the more accurate and more meaningful those assignments are. Up-to-date haplogroups enable our customers to answer questions such as the following:a) Which haplogroup histories are relevant to me?Your maternal haplogroup and the maternal haplogroups of your ancestors provide insights into your ancestry. Let's say your haplogroup under 23andMe's previous tree was H2. The known history for haplogroup H2 is very general; women with this haplogroup survived and reproduced very successfully in Europe during the Last Ice Age. Let's say your haplogroup under 23andMe's new tree is now H2a2. While H2 is common throughout all of Europe, research has shown that H2a is concentrated near the Caspian Sea. The history for H2a2 has yet to be written, but eventually we'll understand, possibly through 23andMe's research, the origin and migration history of this haplogroup that branches off from H2a.b) To whom am I most similar?Who are your maternal line cousins? In general the higher resolution the haplogroup, the more meaningful the sharing of a haplogroup. For example, if your haplogroup is H2, you share that haplogroup with over 600 23andMe customers; on the other hand, if your assignment is H2a2b, you share that with just over 60 customers. The common ancestor of everyone with H2a2b lived far more recently than the common ancestor of everyone with H2. People with a more specific haplogroup can begin to ask, where are we all from? Where did our common ancestor live, and when?23andMe also aims for consistency with other genetic services. If all such services are using the same haplogroup definitions, then maternal haplogroups are comparable across services.
Steps in the updateIn the summer of 2007 when 23andMe developed its initial Maternal Line feature there was no publicly available, up-to-date tree. Therefore 23andMe used information from various sources to create a tree as up-to-date as possible and to assign haplogroups. Now there is a publicly available tree maintained by scientist Mannis van Oven of the Netherlands, with help from other geneticists and genetic genealogists (including 23andMe customers!). They update the tree regularly, and we used this tree (Build 7) as a guide for updating our Maternal Line feature. We recalculated every customer's haplogroup and otherwise modified the feature to be consistent with the tree of Phylotree.org.Many customers will see the same maternal haplogroup as in the past. Thousands, however, will see something new. Customer haplogroups have changed for two main reasons: (1) because of new definitions of the haplogroups, and (2) because of improved SNP results.Some customers will see a higher resolution haplogroup. For example, over 100 customers see a change from H4a to H4a1a. Other customers will see a major change in their haplogroup name, even though the history of that haplogroup has not changed. For example, some customers who had an H5a assignment will now see H36. Others who had PreHV1 will now see R0. Some customers will see a less dramatic change: all customers with a J1a haplogroup will now see a J1c haplogroup. Many of these changes simply reflect relabeling of the tree by van Oven and other scientists.The most common change is the removal of a "*" from a haplogroup label. The "*" is used to indicate that a person's haplogroup cannot be assigned to a more specific subhaplogroup (for example H* means that a person is not in H1, H2, etc). As the maternal haplogroup tree grows, the "*" will necessarily change in meaning, so 23andMe has decided to do away with it and instead use a system in which we just assign people to the most specific haplogroup possible. So if you are definitely in haplogroup H, but not a part of H1, H2, etc , then you will simply be assigned to haplogroup H.In some cases a haplogroup has been split. So some people with T2b2 will now have T2b4, while others continue to have T2b2. Sometimes customers will have less detailed haplogroups. For example, a few hundred customers go from T2b2 to T2b because T2b2 was redefined.
Send us your feedback!
With over 870 distinct haplogroups assigned to more than 35,000 customers, we anticipate making further refinements. If you have information regarding your mtDNA that is inconsistent with our update, please let us know at [email protected]!Reference: van Oven M, Kayser M. 2009.

Nor will Foster put to rest persistent speculation in the industry and in some quarters of the gay community that she has chosen to make her life with another woman. But though she refuses to address that particular issue, she aims to be unguarded in her day-to-day life. "I think of myself as phenomenally open," she says. "My children would say that, the people who know me would say that, the people who see me in the park would say that. Because when you have kids, you have to be open. Otherwise, what kind of message would that send? You can make a choice that brings them dignity or you can make a choice that's some hiding, shameful thing. I always choose dignity." While many scoff at her definition of "open," Foster clearly has no intention of feeding a media machine that subsists on celebrity confessionals. If her deliberately worded response is not enough to quell the curiosity, she is content to let her audience stew. "I live a tremendously open life," she repeats for emphasis. "However, I don't feel the need to exploit via the media my personal life. I don't want to bring them into my circus. For what? To promote a movie? That would be strange."
As for the Future…
Foster's reticence, rare in a culture where other celebrities her age are jumping around on Oprah's couch, is in no small part the aftermath of another off-limits topic, an experience that left her shattered and determined to be no one's icon. When John Hinckley, Jr., tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan in a bid to impress Foster, whom he had been stalking, she was a freshman at Yale. She and her mother resolved to never talk about the tragedy in public, she says, because, "I want people to remember me as an actor, not some historical footnote." But the episode distilled for her the dangers of her chosen profession. "Suddenly I understood something I hadn't understood before. I saw ahead of me the life I had been leading, and I didn't want to be Tom Cruise."
Late on this Tuesday afternoon, long after lunch has ended and the plates have been cleared, Jodie Foster must qualify as the only woman in Hollywood who claims to look forward to aging. In coming years, she plans to direct more and maybe not work much at all, until the boys are older. "But at 65, I'm coming back with a vengeance," she warns with a sly grin. "I'd like to be a Simone Signoret-type actress, with the big old hooded eyes and kind of overweight and craggy, with gray hair." She tugs at her cheeks and pokes out her bottom lip. It's hard to imagine gravity complying with her wishes. "There are going to be all these actresses pulled and pushed and dyed and Botoxed, and there's going to be nobody to play the real parts." Even then, you sense, she'll still prefer to park at the meter.

Dr. Felicia D. Stoler, DCN, MS, RDN, FACSM
About Me
Several years
ago, I wanted to make a career change and someone suggested that I go to school for something that I'm passionate about.
I am very lucky that I was able to attend Teachers' College - Columbia University at night, while I worked at ABC News.
I have a Masters in Science in Applied Physiology and Nutrition and completed a 1000 hour supervised dietetic internship from
Columbia. I successfully attained the Health & Fitness Instructor certification from the American College of Sports
Medicine and passed the Registered Dietietian Nutritionist (RDN) exam from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. I
completed my residency at Rutgers' University Athletics and ABC News' Medical Unit. I have a Doctorate in
Clinical Nutrition from Rutgers - UMDNJ-SHRP. My research was in worksite wellness (weight loss intervention).
I have been selected as a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.
My interest in health and wellness is truly a passion. My philosophy about the advice that I give is that services
should be Simple, Realistic and Attainable. My goal is to be part of the solution to the obesity epidemic. Providing
accurate, science-based information to the public through media outlets is my favorite way to reach the masses. However,
I do provide individual and group counseling through evidence-based practice.
I have served in
many professional associations as a volunteer and leader. I have also been involved with many volunteer programs in
the community. I am passionate about helping people feel better! We have choices when it comes to health and I
firmly believe that diet and exercise are the least expensive, least invasive and most effect way to prevent and treat disease.
The obesity epidemic can be won - one person at a time!
Kimberly Garrison, Philadelphia Daily News, "She looks as if she could be one of the glamorous stars on "Desperate
Housewives," but make no mistake about it: Felicia Stoler is a no-nonsense registered dietician and exercise physiologist
whose mission is to give American parents a kick-in-the-pants wake-up call on the dangers of childhood obesity.
Jersey girl Stoler is the single mother of two and a petite dynamo
who not only talks the talk but obviously walks the walk, too. Having struggled with her weight earlier in her life, Stoler
clearly has licked the bad habits - and she has the body of a fitness model to prove it."
Quote from a TLC Viewer on the Honey Blog Site:
"I can't imagine a better host! She is young, energetic,
fit, healthy, beautiful and a professional in nutrition & exercise and she is also a Mother. What more can you ask for?
Kudos to TLC for finding her!! A great asset to an already inspiring show!"

Glen Campbell's Alzheimer's has progressed. The country music legend has moved into a facility dedicated to caring for those suffering from this devastating disease, PEOPLE magazine reported this week.
A Campbell family friend reportedly told PEOPLE, "He was moved to an Alzheimer's facility last week. I'm not sure what the permanent plan is for him yet. We'll know more next week."
Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 5.1 million Americans may suffer from the disease.
(If you or someone you know suffers from Alzheimer's, click here to find a support group in your community. If you are in Tennessee or Alabama, including Huntsville, visit the Alzheimer Association's Mid-South chapter.)
The country music legend, known for many hits, including "Rhinestone Cowboy," went public with his condition three years ago. He and his fourth wife, Kim Woolen, opened up about Campbell's Alzheimer's as he prepared to embark on a final farewell tour. In 2012, he had to cancel shows because of the disease.
During his 50 years in show business, Campbell has released more than 70 albums and has sold 45 million records.

Will Georgetown Become Texas Film Friendly?
Efforts are underway to get Georgetown designated as a Texas Film Friendly Community through the Texas Film Commission (TFC). When a film crew comes to town, the economic benefits to the community are astounding.
"It is the biggest payoff for the least amount of risk and investment," says Jimmy Schwertner, whose family owns a feed yard outside Jarrell, where scenes of the recent HBO movie Temple Grandin were shot. For many years, Schwertner was a professional location scout in the film industry.
Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes, tells the story of an autistic woman who revolutionized the cattle industry. Although this was by no means a big budget movie, producers spent approximately $5 million in Texas. A portion of that money was spent right here in Georgetown, as the crew filmed on the campus of Southwestern University. (Southwestern served as a stand-in for an Ivy League college in the east.)
In some rare cases, the economic benefits continue long after the film crew has left town. Hope Floats, starring Harry Connick Jr. and recent Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, filmed in Smithville. The movie was released in 1998. At the time, according to Carol Pirie, Deputy Director of the Texas Film Commission, and Adena Lewis, President of the Smithville Chamber of Commerce, nearly $800,000 was added to Smithville's coffers.
"And that doesn't include beers they bought at local bars, meals they ordered at local restaurants, or fifteen years of residual income from tourists who come here to see the movie location for themselves," says Lewis. Most film shoots are unlikely to generate that amount of long-term tourism, but lightning just may strike twice in Smithville. Brad Pitt recently finished filming Tree of Life there, which will be released later this year.
Three steps Georgetown must take to earn the Texas Film Friendly designation
- A community representative must attend a Film Friendly workshop.
- Location photos of the community must be added to the TFC location database.
- The City must pass a community film policy.
On February 26, TFC held a Film Friendly workshop at the Georgetown Public Library. The workshop was attended by people from all across the state. Georgetown was well represented by Main Street Manager Shelly Hargrove and several members of the Economic Restructuring Committee, a subcommittee of the Main Street Board.
Some location photos have already been taken, but TFC always welcomes new pictures, especially of unusual locations. If you'd like to submit Georgetown photos, please contact Shelly Hargrove at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on what locations have already been submitted and on proper formatting of the digital pictures.
The third and final step in the Film Friendly process is the most critical. The vast majority of filming that takes place in Texas is of 30-second commercials. These shoots are highly lucrative, but they move fast.
"Commercials go from concept to filming in about two weeks," says Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas Film Commission.
That means that Georgetown's standard permitting process just doesn't work. If a producer wants to film in Georgetown but must wait a month or longer for the permit, he or she will be forced to choose another town. And Georgetown will lose out on the money that would have been spent here.
A draft of the community film policy has been written and will be refined by Hargrove and members of the Economic Restructuring Committee. Then it will be presented to the Georgetown City Council. If it's passed and Georgetown earns the Film Friendly designation, locals may begin to see more camera crews around town, and Georgetown will have a new economic base on which we can rely.

The "Dancing With the Stars" voting has taken some viewers by surprise and Monday night was no different. While some people were expecting James Maslow to go home, it appears that the time was up for Charlie White as he was eliminated. There is still reason for James Maslow to worry though as fans are reporting that their votes didn't appear to go through after the competition. According to Reality TV Magazine on Tuesday, the fans are alleging there were issues with the voting system with some viewers suggesting the show was manipulating the fan votes.
Some fans who were voting for James Maslow and his partner Peta Murgatroyd were not actually able to cast their ballots by offering proof the votes went to Meryl Davis. Other viewers said they didn't get their vote counted at all.
The "Dancing With the Stars" producers apparently are aware of the issues from last night's show. Looking to figure out the issue (or if there is one) they are trying to decipher what might have happened. According to RumorFix on Tuesday, fans have been posting images of the ballots going to the wrong star even after they choose James Maslow for their vote. It's shocking to see the screenshot proof that the voting mix up gave Meryl Davis votes when they actually voted for someone else. It raises big flags about the process.
"Dancing With the Stars" has never been completely clear on how they calculate the viewer's votes with judge's score and the variable of the producer's decisions. While the input of the fans has always been important, this year more than ever there have been complaints about the system.
Will "Dancing With the Stars" correct this situation? Hopefully they will as there has already been some concerns about previous weeks, but with the screen shots from fans as proof the voting needs to be reviewed and any technical issues addressed.

"What's Wrong," was initially produced and recorded for Rakim's "Seventh Seal" (2009) LP, but due to clearance issues was nixed from the retail release of the project. It has since sat dormant until Rakim gave the track back to Marco and he decided to use it for his forthcoming free-LP "Newport Authority 2" as Marco states "I've recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn't all possibly fit on "Port Authority 2"; hence "Newport Authority 2" came to be."
"Newport Authority 2" will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco's production.
Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco's "Port Authority 2" LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records. "Port Authority 2" features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Oragnized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.
Word! Newport and Port Authority 1 stand the test of time, I still bump them to this day. The OC and Large Pro tracks are classic songs! I heard whispers of these for a couple years now, glad to hear they are dropping soon.

Marathon Man Gareth supports KidsOut again.
Gareth Sanders, Assistant Hotel Manager from Bristol Travelodge who completed the challenge of running the 7 marathons, in 7 days, in 7 cities has pledged to support KidsOut further in 2012. Gareth has decided to undertake a number of great feats this year to further support KidsOut and will be completing a staggering one fundraising event per month from June 2012. The events are as follows:
June – The Welsh 3000
The Welsh 3000 will take 24 hours to complete, cover 26 miles and result in Gareth having climbed 26 mountain peaks and North Wales.
July - Walk the River Avon in 48 hours
The river Avon is the 19th longest river in the UK covering 75 miles. Starting in Chipping Sodbury and finishing in Avonmouth. Gareth will walk the entire length in less than 48 hours.
August – Navigate the Chichester canal in an inflatable raft
Gareth will be testing his skills in an inflatable raft as he follows the famous Chichester canal down to the harbour and round to West Wittering beach.
September – Circle the Isle of Wight
Following the costal path Gareth shall walk and raft around the circumference of the Isle of Wight covering a total of 70 miles.
October – The Black Mountains
The Black Mountains challenge will start the winter preparation for the Ben Nevis Challenge. Gareth will be crossing the entire length of the Brecon Beacons covering 98 miles over 1 week. He will do this completely solo and unsupported.
November – Train to train over Snowdon
The train to train race over Snowdon is an orienteering challenge. Gareth will get off the train in Llanberis and with a time limit set and a ticket in hand will leave Beddgelert and complete a route over the summit of Mt Snowdon.
December – Climb Ben Nevis
In early December Gareth will complete a solo accent over Ben Nevis. Standing 4,409 ft. above sea level Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles. Following gully number 3 with a total distance of 10.5 miles it will take Gareth an estimated 9 hours to complete.
Gareth obviously needs as much support as possible to help capitalise on the success of 777 in 2011. If you have any ideas, or would like to support Gareth in any way, please contact email@example.com.

Welcome! Just thought I'd put up a little info here, I've lined up a Co-Founder and am looking forward to doing some more recruiting. Feel free to check out the group favs, there's some really cool stuff in there that we've found floating around DA! I'm looking at fleshing things out a little here and all, so if anyone knows some people.... feel free to spread the word about the group! Also, if anyone has suggestions for a Group Icon that would really rock! As you can see, we're lacking sorely in that area right now.
Other than that, I look forward to meeting you all as you join up, and I REALLY look forward to seeing more Trek Crossover art in the Gallery! If you or anyone else you know has something you think would fit, feel free to contribute. Live Long and Prosper! =/=RT

Helen R. Eichholz, of Camden, passed away peacefully in her home, April 14, 2013; surrounded by her loving family. She was 74.
Helen was born, June 10, 1938, in Wilmington, DE; to the Late- William & Marie(Starret) Klair. She loved playing the slots, and traveling to different casinos.

Hotel planned for SouthPark leaves no room for Lynn Ivey's dream
Lynn Ivey's vision for the 0.65-acre lot next door includes a building with architecture that closely matches her own, green space and something with a low profile that won't tower over the trees in the neighborhood. It does not include a new hotel.

All eyes may be on the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi that begin next month, but there is already some talk about the 2016 Olympics going on. On Jan. 23, 2014, ESPN has reported that the 28-player pool for the men's Olympic basketball team has been selected, and that means the world is closer to knowing which 12 will play for the gold.
A large number of veteran players are in the running as expected, but there's a whole crop of newcomers that will be hoping to wear the colors for the red, white, and blue.
The pool was chosen by USAB chairman Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzewski. From this pool of 28 players, Colangelo and Krzyzewski will end up selecting 12 players to make up the roster that will compete at the World Cup later this year and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
The list of 14 veterans includes Chris Paul, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, James Harden, Dwight Howard, Stephen Curry, Deron Williams, Tyson Chandler, Andre Iguodala, Anthony Davis, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook.
The list of 14 newcomers for the men's USA basketball team includes LaMarcus Aldridge, Bradley Beal, DeMarcus Cousins, Kenneth Faried, Andre Drummond, Paul George, Blake Griffin, Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, Kyle Korver, David Lee, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, and Klay Thompson.
"This roster is extremely talented, deep and versatile," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a statement.
"Continuity and familiarity with international basketball are critical parts in our success, and between our coaching staff and these 28 players we certainly have that. Every one of the selected players has been involved in USA Basketball previously and that speaks to how well our pipeline is working."
Names like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh are noticeably absent from the pool. Some players have chosen not to take part in the team again and others are going to be dealing with free agency this summer so they have that to focus on.

BANGOR, Maine -- Former Women's Basketball standout Emily Ellis was inducted into the 37th Maine Sports Hall of Fame Class in a ceremony held at the Bangor Civic Center on May 20th.
Ellis, a member of the Black Bears from 1981-85, came to the University of Maine after enjoying a stellar career at Mt. View High School in Thorndike, Maine.
The 5'10" center led the Black Bears in rebounding two of her four years and ended her career with 1,637 points and 623 rebounds. Ellis' 1,637 points rank her sixth all-time in school history, averaging double-figures in her last three seasons. Ellis captained her senior year squad in 1985, leading the team to a 21-9 record, the first 20-plus win season in program history.
Following her career at Maine, Ellis played pro ball in both Finland and Austria. Ellis' No. 40 jersey was the first to be retired by the Black Bears.

text: Adaptive coding and modulation is saving bandwidth and transmission capacity in systems which are affected by slowly time-varying channels as it is the case with rain attenuation in Ka-band. Such mechanisms are part of the new transmission standards for IP via satellite like DVB-S2 (forward link) or enhanced DVB-RCS (reverse link). Suitable resource management and scheduling algorithms are necessary which consider both the required QoS (Quality of Service) of the different data packets as well as the variable length of the physical layer packets in order to exploit the potential of adaptive coding and modulation. Novel resource management and scheduling algorithms (e.g. pool scheduling algorithm) have been developed for DVB-S2 and enhanced DVB-RCS which are validated by simulations in a system and protocol simulator.

College Hockey:Darling Stops 25 as Maine Sweeps Providence
Beaudry Stops 33 in Losing Effort
ORONO, Maine — The University of Maine men's hockey team lived dangerously for a second straight night Saturday, but Providence College's anemic power play allowed the Black Bears to preserve their narrow lead and come away with a 3-1 victory to complete a weekend sweep at Alfond Arena.
It was Maine's first two-game sweep of an opponent this season. The Black Bears won Friday's game by the same score.
"We were just really determined to get out of the gate strong, and pick up where we left off last night," Maine coach Tim Whitehead said.
Providence had five power plays, a night after going 0-for-8 with the man advantage, but finished the weekend 1-for-13. The Friars generated seven shots in five power plays. Maine went two-for-four on the power play.
"We had an opportunity in the third to tie it again, but didn't get it done on the power play," Providence coach Tim Army said.
The Black Bears (8-7-1, 6-4-1 Hockey East) extended their unbeaten streak to five games heading into a single game home weekend against Northeastern University before the holiday break. Providence (7-7-1, 2-5-1 Hockey East) has lost three in a row and will host the University of New Hampshire and Boston College next weekend.
Sophomore left wing Spencer Abbott gave Maine its second lead of the game 4:39 into the second period. Right wing Kyle Solomon's centering pass from outside the right faceoff found him streaking through the slot. Center David deKastrozza tipped the pass on the way by and Abbott beat Providence goaltender Alex Beaudry with a blocker-side wrister. It was Abbott's fourth goal of the season and second game winner.
"It was kind of in too tight for (deKastrozza), so it slid through him," Abbott said. "The goalie thought it was going to him, so he was kind of late getting over and I whacked it in."
Maine sophomore right wing Gustav Nyquist notched his third goal of the weekend and 11th of the season in the game's final minute when he gathered the puck at the opposing blue line and wristed it into an empty net after Beaudry was pulled to give the Friars even-strength while Providence defenseman Mark Fayne watched from the penalty box. Sophomore left wing Brian Flynn chipped the puck out of the neutral zone.
Maine sophomore goaltender Scott Darling picked up his eighth win of the season in a 25 save effort. Darling praised Maine's effective penalty killing effort.
"The forwards were unbelievable this weekend, PK and five-on-five," Darling said. "We had so many transition opportunities at their blue line, because we always had the third guy high."
Beaudry stopped 33 shots and was thought unanimously to be the reason Maine could not pull away, despite outshooting the Friars 36-26 in the game.
"He played great," Army said. "He gave us a chance to stay in the game. Both games, he played very, very well."
"(Beaudry) stood on his head in some spots in the game," Abbott said. "We couldn't get it by him."
Maine dominated the early stages of the first period, earning a pair of power plays and holding a 21-6 advantage in shots after 20:00. Beaudry had a single period season high in saves.
"We were just getting pucks to the net, and we just knew as long as we get the second man to the net, we could come up with a lot more chances," Maine freshman right wing Joey Diamond said.
Diamond gave Maine a 1-0 lead midway through the first period on the Black Bears' second power play when he finished a rebound at the right post created by defenseman Will O'Neill's blast from the mid-point. It was Diamond's fourth goal of the season. Diamond was unsure if he was actually responsible for the goal in traffic.
"Everyone was whacking at it," Diamond said. "I really couldn't see who put it in."
The Friars got a responding goal with the man-advantage 2:46 later. Junior defenseman Eric Baier tipped in Matt Germain's centering pass from the left faceoff circle at the far post.
Providence outshot Maine 13-4 in the third period and earned a pair of power plays. Beaudry was pulled after Army called a last minute timeout.
"We had good play, forced some turnovers, had better activity around the net," Army said. "We weren't able to get it done on the power play, again."
Army made multiple line changes between games in search of an answer to his team's special teams struggles, but stressed consistency in execution must improve.
"We battled and we hung in there and we gave ourselves a chance," Army said. "We've got to work harder on the power play."

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest strengths?
Torrey Smith: I feel that my speed is a huge strength of mine. I am great at making people miss after I catch the ball. I am very elusive. I understand the game very well, and I have a lot of ability to grow and learn more to make myself a complete all-around player.
Scott Porter: Who reminds you of yourself the most in the NFL?
Torrey Smith: I don't really know but what I have been told by others and in watching a lot of film is that I remind them of a few players, those players are former Colts WR Marvin Harrison, Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald and a little bit of Randy Moss now of the Titans. I have also been told by others that I remind them of Falcons WR Roddy White but I haven't watched as much film on him as the other three I mentioned.
Scott Porter: What factors led to your decision to declare early as a Junior?
Torrey Smith: The biggest factor for me in my decision is that I already graduated college. I heard great feedback from others including my coaches, NFL coaches among many others that I got feedback from. In the end the fact that my mother supported my decision so I was very comfortable with it. The people who I respect the most supported me throughout my decision so I felt it was my time.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Torrey Smith: My main goal is just to help out a team no matter what way it is. If they find me best suited for a role as long as it helps the team then win then I will do whatever it is. I want to win a Super Bowl and contribute in the best way possible to doing so. I just want to be part of a winning team.
Scot Porter: What will you miss most about playing football at Maryland?
Torrey Smith: The fans and my teammates.
Scott Porter: How would you describe your style of play?
Torrey Smith: I would describe my style as being very balanced. I feel as if I am a do it all WR. I am bigger than the average speed WR. I can catch the ball and run very well after the catch. Which you don't find a lot of WR's who have the size, speed, awareness and ability to make people miss as well as I feel I can bring to a team. I haven't been asked to go across the middle of the field a lot, but I can surely do that. I have the size and speed to get separation and I am not afraid of taking a hit. I am a willing blocker but I am surely going to work on improving my blocking.
Scott Porter: What are your hobbies off the field?
Torrey Smith: Giving back to the community. I also love to fish. I like to chill with my family and friends. I do a lot of hunting, but my biggest passion if fishing. I love to fish.
Scott Porter: What are you looking forward to most about the NFL?
Torrey Smith: The new challenge it presents. Making it to the NFL itself is what I am looking forward to. Making it to the NFL is every man's dream and now I have the opportunity to reach that dream. I have a good chance but I don't want to take anything for granted. I just want to make it, do the best I can and come out with a Super Bowl ring.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence?
Torrey Smith: Probably the players I grew up idolizing and wanting to be like. Michael Vick was always a favorite player's of mine. I played a lot of QB growing up and he was the guy I wanted to be like. Also the players I developed my game after like Randy Moss, Hines Ward and Ocho Cinco.
Scott Porter: What is the toughest part about playing the position of WR?
Torrey Smith: I always tell people that WR is the last leg on the offense. If there is a big run they are counting on your to block downfield. You can be the difference between a 10 yard run and an 80 yard run with your blocking. You have to be the difference in every play, weather it is the WR throwing the ball to you or you blocking for your RB's for them to gain big plays. You're the last leg, your team depends on you so much for the big play in the clutch situation. You have to find a way to come up with a big play and tough catches with the game on the line.

This summer is the perfect time to enjoy yourself outside, and if it gets hot outside you can chill inside with some video games. Even better, you can check out a 24-hour marathon put on by AbleGamers Charity to help disabled veterans. 'Remembering Disabled Veterans' will begin on July 5th, and continues the success of the 'Driving Home Accessibility' campaign.
"Being an Honorably Discharged, Service Disabled veteran myself," said Mark Barlet, Founder and Executive Director of AbleGamers Charity. "I'm all too aware of how veterans can be overlooked outside of service related holidays. it's part of the core mission of AbleGamers to make sure that these men and women who put it all on the line to serve us are not forgotten after the Fourth of July."
"We'll be bringing the gift of gaming to injured service members around the country through the Driving Home Accessibility project," continued Barlet. "But we need the help of the community to get the vehicle funded before we can start taking it around the country visiting hospitals and centers."
And it's not just the military troops that AbleGamers hopes to help. It's also the first responders in our day to day: the policemen, firemen, EMTs, and others who put their lives on the line in order to help and protect the public.
The goal of the project is to collect enough to fund a vehicle to go across the country, delivering gaming systems to hospitals and other centers for veterans to play on. It has been shown that veterans suffering from PTSD are less likely to suffer negative thoughts of harming oneself when associated with a tight knit gaming community.
Starting July 5 at 12PM EDT for a full 24 hours, you will be able to watch the marathon on Twitch (link provided here) where there will be plenty of gaming, and even giveaways. You can find more information on AbleGamers by visiting their website here, or sign up directly for the drive here.

LOCAL newspapers have delivered a huge boost to UK business by pledging an unprecedented £15m worth of free advertising to the most dynamic fledgling enterprises.
The bold initiative, backed by Dragons' Den judge Deborah Meaden, pictured, is called Local Business Accelerators and is being spearheaded by the voice of local media, the Newspaper Society.
Nearly 500 publications, including the Sale and Altrincham Messenger are joining forces to promote the strength and value of local newspapers for local businesses and communities.
Together, the local press industry will search for the nation's most promising young businesses and help them accelerate their success with top professional advice from business mentors plus a substantial allocation of free advertising space in their local publication.
One lucky business picked from the regional winners will get individual mentoring sessions from the LBA national ambassador Deborah, who will become a consultant and mentor to the business for one year.
Deborah Meaden said: "I've seen the unique contribution that local press makes to the success of local businesses time and again with my own ventures.
"In this age of enterprise it has never been more important to drive awareness about the value of local marketing for a fledgling business, which is why I'm so proud to support LBA and help build thriving and industrious communities."
This week the SAM launches its search. It is open to all businesses that are active in the local community, between one and three years old and full of potential.
They may have a great idea or product, or even found a new market. They are the kind of businesses that will create new jobs and individually they will create pride in the community.
If you run such a business, or know anyone who does, and want the chance to receive invaluable business support and advertising space in SAM visit accelerateme.co.uk for more information. Entries close on Monday, November 14.
Barbara Hallwood, from Marketing Profile, Martin Duff, managing director of Randalls Ltd, plus SAM editor Carla Flynn, and advertisement manager Chris Jennings, will form the judging panel and will review and shortlist entries before awarding three lucky local businesses with the prize of free advertising and business advice.
They will also be looking out for that one overall star business to put forward to be in with a chance to gain Deborah Meaden as a mentor during 2012.
Geraldine Allinson, president of the Newspaper Society, said: "The UK needs to grow local businesses like never before, and local businesses need local press. No other medium has the power, local knowledge and influence to activate a scheme like this.
"It's where local newspapers have always made a real difference: by helping to build strong local businesses and encourage thriving communities."

Nicky Hayden: 'A motorcycle's a motorcycle...'
Talking to RoadRacerX magazine, Nicky Hayden says that riding motocross bikes may be one of the best ways to improve your riding skills for the track. 'There's a benefit to it. You can go to the gym and do curls, ride your bicycle, and do cross-training, but the truth is that when it comes to training the mind and muscles how to push the limits on a motorcycle, there's really only one way — riding motorcycles! I know dirt bikes don't always carry over exactly, but it's surprisingly close. A motorcycle's a motorcycle, and the coordination and balance needed to ride them are pretty consistent,' says Nicky.
So forget the bicycle, get that motocrosser out of the garage, and hit some berms...!
Via RoadRacerX
1 comment :
Amen!! Nothing better to learn on than a motocrosser or motard. Im really looking forward to Hayden's performance this season.

Geithner Attacks GOP Plan to 'Prioritize' Debt Payments
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in an unusually harsh critique, blasted a proposal from some Republican lawmakers who suggested that the Congress could refuse to raise the debt ceiling and direct Treasury to prioritize payments to creditors to avoid a sovereign default.
How much did Mr. Geithner hate the idea?
He called it "radical and deeply irresponsible," "futile," and "unwise, unworkable, unacceptably risky, and unfair to the American people," in a letter to Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.) on Tuesday. Apparently in an effort to drive his points home, Mr. Geithner actually used the terms "unwise" and "unacceptably risky."
The U.S. government has already hit the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling, and Mr. Geithner has said the country could begin defaulting on its debts by Aug. 2 if the ceiling isn't raised. Many Republicans say that the country brings in so much revenue each month that the Treasury could pay interest owed to its bond holders and therefore avoid actually defaulting on the debt if the ceiling isn't raised.
For Mr. Geithner, it's not that simple.
"Even if the idea of 'prioritization' were not so unwise, it would not be a mere exercise in 'belt tightening,' as you suggest," Mr. Geithner wrote. "The United States is now required to borrow approximately 40 cents for every dollar of expenditures. Your proposal would require cutting roughly 40 percent of all government payments. These deep cuts would be felt by all Americans, and they would risk throwing the economy back into recession."
Mr. DeMint is unlikely to back down. He has warned many Republicans against voting to raise the debt ceiling and recetntly told ABC News that many Republicans may be "gone" if they vote to raise the debt ceiling without first voting on a balanced budget amendment and winning major spending cuts.

[Look up Robin Blaze in Wikipedia for more information and music samples].
Elizabeth Kenny is one of Europe's leading lute players. Her playing has been described as "incandescent" (Music and Vision), "radical" (The Independent on Sunday) and "indecently beautiful" (Toronto Post). In twenty years of touring she has played with many of the world's best period instrument groups and experienced many different approaches to music making. She is a principal player and initiator of seventeenth century projects with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Her research interests have led to critically acclaimed recordings of Lawes, Purcell and Dowland, leading to the formation of her ensemble Theatre of the Ayre . (see below) Her recital CD Flying Horse: The ML LuteBook was released by Hyperion Records in 2009. She guest-edited a Dowland themed issue of Early Music, bringing performers and scholars together in celebration of the 450th anniversary of the composer's birth, in 2013. She is an artistic advisor to the York Early Music Festival, where has been involved in programme planning from 2011 to 2014. Liz Kenny taught for two years at the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin, is professor of Lute at the Royal Academy of Music, and a Reader in Performance at Southampton University.
Theatre of the Ayre is Elizabeth Kenny's platform for bringing dramatically-minded singers and players together to create inspirational programmes of seventeenth century music. Their first project, The Masque of Moments, drew on research undertaken during her AHRC Fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts at Southampton, and toured England, Belgium and Germany in 2007-8, being broadcast in all three countries. They followed this with a tour of John Blow's Venus and Adonis, a live recording of which was released on the Wigmore Live label in January 2011. Several smaller-scale projects (Ayres and Dialogues, Dowland; Anniversary Collection and Setting the Baa High: English pastoral) toured the UK in 2013, as well as a unique collaboration with members of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain: Lutes and Ukes. Its education arm, Youths Lutes and Ukes involved the players teaching and performing with a total of 360 children in London and York. They finished the year with a project centred around Marc-Antoine Charpentier in which students collaborated with the ensemble in its appearance at Southampton's Turner Sims Concert Hall.

Pastor Dawn Quame new to area
March 6, 2013
Fulda Free Press Norma Dittman
Pastor Dawn Quame began her ministry duties with Christ Lutheran Church, Slayton, and Faith Lutheran Church, Avoca, on Friday. She is pictured above in her study at Christ Lutheran Church.
By Norma Dittman, Fulda Free Press staff writer
Pastor Dawn Quame joined the staff at Faith Lutheran Church, Avoca, and Christ Lutheran Church, Slayton, as of Friday, March 1st. She moved into the parsonage in Avoca during the middle of February. She lives there with her cockapoo, Chloe.
Pastor Quame was born and raised in Mankato, MN. She graduated from Mankato East High School and then attended Winona State University. She graduated from college with a degree in Therapeutic Recreation.
During the years of 1984 to 1992, Pastor Quame worked as an activity director at nursing homes within the state of Minnesota.
"After that I went into a program for youth ministry called Tentmakers. I went to the Twin Cities for an intensive seven weeks of training," Pastor Quame stated.
The Tentmakers Program helps to provide Christ-centered leadership training and coaching for students and adults in families, classrooms, churches and communities who impact the lives of young people.
During 2001 to 2005, Pastor Quame worked as a youth director at St. John's Lutheran Church in Lakeville, MN. "My pastor asked what I saw in my future and told me that he felt that I could be a pastor. Others had told me that, also. I actually sensed that in myself as I love congregational ministry. It is the one place that you can work with the whole family from the very young to the adults," Pastor Quame stated To read the rest of this article - pick up a copy of this weeks Fulda Free Press or subscribe to our eedition at http://eedition.fuldafreepress.net

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - The Laredo Police Department partners is going green!
They held a tree planting ceremony in Blas Castaneda Park Thursday morning. Kohl's is sponsoring the LPD Blue Santa Charter Program, which helps needy children in our community.
"Today, we're partnering up with Kohl's, which is one of our major sponsorships, for the Blue Santa Program," said LPD officer Armando Garcia. "We're going green, and they wanted to team up with Blue Santa to make that dream come true, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Planting trees stresses environmental stewardship for children now, and in the future.
"It's important for us to do this for the community to show the Laredo Police Department, along with the Blue Santa Charter Program, we care about our kids, we care about our future, and we just want to make sure that this coming Christmas, each and every child that does come and apply to our department with the Blue Santa Charter Program has a gift and will have a special Christmas this year," said Garcia.
Kohl's donated $1,500 to the toy fund for Blue Santa.

Album Summary
- Mirco Bruson (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
However unusual or even bizarre it may seem, the idea of a piano endowed with a pedalboard similar to that of an organ actually has a long history behind it. Its antecedents are the clavichord and the harpsichord with single or double keyboard, which also often had a pedalboard attached.
Johann Sebastian Bach owned a clavichord with two keyboards and pedalboard for which he composed the Trio Sonata BWV 525-530, the Passacaglia in C minor BWV 582 and other works. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart owned a fortepiano with independent pedals, built expressly for him in 1785 by Anton Walter. The instrument Robert Schumann refers to as a pedalflügel (piano with pedalboard) first entered his home in Dresden in 1845. He was also able to convince F.
Mendelssohn Bartholdy to inaugurate a class especially for the pedalflügel in the Conservatorium of Leipzig. There are various systems with which a pedalboard was attached to the piano: the most common was that of a pedalboard fastened under the piano that activated its mechanics-keyboard; another System, though less frequent, was that of placing two independent pianos (each with its separate mechanics and strings).
At the end of this last century the piano-maker Luigi Borgato realized a new instrument, the "DOPPIO BORGATO": a double piano of extensive form, joining a concert-grand together with a second piano activated by a pedalboard comprised of 37 pedals, thus augmenting the expressive qualities of its 18th century predecessors.
The DOPPIO BORGATO opens up a new page for the musical world, this particular instrument offering new possibilities to both composers and interpreters.
Recording information: Chiesa di S. Apollinare, Monticello di Lonigo, Vicenza, (07/2010).

Live in Sausalito? Here are Some Contractors for You…
From Renee Rutledge on May 13, 2009 in Locations
Working with CalFinder to discover which licensed contractor best suits your needs can be easy and fun. This post is designed to show you how simple the process for getting started can be. Lets say you live in or near Sausalito, CA, and you need some remodeling done. I picked Sausalito as an example because I drive past it on Highway 101 from time to time, and Im always struck by the beauty of this unique Marin County town on the Bay. The first thing I did was enter the keyword Sausalito in the Search box, found in the upper right corner of every page on CalFinders website. This took me to a page featuring a variety of different contractors, each with its designated link for learning more about that particular company. From here, you can explore the different contractors. Here are a few that attracted me—see what you think!
Celtic Construction
Photo credit: Celtic Construction
Celtic Construction does kitchen, bathroom, and general remodeling. Theres a slide show featuring examples of their work—clearly high quality. A customer comments, I was a single woman and was totally taken advantage of by the workman and the unlicensed contractor I hired. Celtic Construction came in after I fired the original contractor and rescued me. Superior workmanship and they did twice the work in half the time. I was never talked down to when work to be done was explained to me.
Lobao Construction
Photo credit: Lobao Construction
Youll find a gallery of examples of Lobaos kitchen, bathroom, and general remodeling projects. (Theres a wine cellar thats quite fabulous in the gallery collection!) Here at Lobao Contruction we have been helping residents of the Bay Area since 1975… whether you are ready to remodel a bathroom, install foundation bolts, remodel a kitchen or a complete addition. A customer says, Extremely honest and trustworthy, I've been a client of Jim's for the last 30 years, but each time he does work for me he still continues to amaze me. Very high standard of craftsmanship.
Marin County Construction
Photo credit: Marin County Construction
Their company description tells you a lot: Marin County Construction specializes in residential green building of kitchens, baths, and room additions. Marin County Construction is one of the few "certified" green builders and is the only firm in Marin who practices deconstruction instead of demolition of existing work. Deconstruction is the art of removing existing materials from your home and reusing them during a remodel. The remaining materials that are not usable are 100% recycled. The photo gallery shows a wide range of projects, including some fabulous bathroom tile work.
This simple tour should get your juices flowing, wherever you live. Try putting your own towns name in CalFinders search box and see what turns up for your area.

So the Monty Hall Problem itself is widely known and understood.
Nonetheless, a friend of mine and I were wondering whether the the same strategy could affectively be applied by a participant of
Who wants to be a Millionaire? when using the
50/50 Joker.
Let's imagine the following scenario:
The participant P has no clue about the correct answer $ x \in \{A,B,C,D\} $ and wants to use the
50/50 Joker (eliminating two wrong answers). But instead of immediately going for it he first "preselects" one of the answers in his mind. There is no need to tell Quizmaster Q about his "imaginary preselection". Now P tells Q that he wants to use his joker and Q lets the computer eliminate two wrong answers.
(1) In case the answer P had preselected is eliminated he has no choice but to choose between the remaining two answers, effectively leaving him with a 50% chance of success - no magic happening here.
(2) But what about the other case when the answer P had preselected survives the elimination? According to the
Monty Hall Problemit seems as if changing the selection (i.e. choosing the other remaining option P had not preseleted) seems to give him a 0.75 chance of success.
Nevertheless, I find it hard to believe that this actually holds true, since the so called
50/50 (!)
Joker would then not be
p(success) = 0.5 after all. Additionally it seems unlikely that making an "imaginary preselection", no one else is told about, actually increases your odds.
I know this problem is not exactly the same as
Monty Hall since the the quizmaster does not always eliminate answers only from the ones the participant had not "preselected", meaning that the preselection itself could be eliminated, too, as it happens in
(1). Still the second case seems to actually be a just variation of it.
So are we right and making a preselection and then going for the other remaining option is a valid strategy that increases the participant's odds of winning? If not, please help us understand our misconception.
