In A.D. 70, the Romans conquered Jerusalem. They slaughtered the residents and torched the city. Before they destroyed the sacred Jewish temple, they looted it, taking its sacred implements back to Rome. One of the pieces they removed was a golden menorah that had given light to the inner sanctuary of the temple.
Not ones to be shy about their victories, in A.D. 82 the Romans celebrated the sacking of Jerusalem by building the Arch of Titus in the Roman forum. Inside of the arch they carved a scene of Roman soldiers carrying the holy menorah back to Rome.
In the last several centuries, if you were to visit Rome, you could see the Arch of Titus with its infamous menorah carving. It would look much as you might expect of something chiseled from rock.
But now we know that when the menorah was viewed by the Romans in the last decades of the first century, it was not the sandy brown color that it is today, but rather golden yellow. So reports a recent article in the New York Times: "Technology Identifies Lots Color at Roman Forum." In the piece by Elisabetta Povoledo, we read:
"The Bible said [the menorah] was gold, but the monument, as it was seen for centuries, told us it was white," said Steven Fine, the director of the Arch of Titus Digital Restoration Project and a professor of Jewish history at Yeshiva University in New York, which is sponsoring the project. "Isn't it cool to be that much closer to the viewers of the first and second century?"
The findings were made possible using noninvasive spectrometry readings carried out on the arch this month.
"The advantage of this method is that it doesn't harm the monument," said Cinzia Conti, the state archaeologist responsible for the arch. The monument is not only an important part of Rome's physical history but also "very significant for the Jewish community," she said.
If you are a history buff, an archeology buff, and/or someone who cares about biblical history, you owe it to yourself to read Povoledo's fascinating article.
If the original coloring of the menorah surprises you, you may not be aware that archeologists and art historians are saying that many ancient statues that we see as stone or marble colored were, in fact, painted. For an example of the difference this makes, check out this link. And if you want to see what ancient Rome really looked like before it was in ruins, check out this fascinating video. Here's what the Arch of Titus looks like today:

(Santa Ana)— Santa Ana College (SAC) is seeking 22 Japanese American students who attended the college in the early 1940s and were forced to interrupt their education when Executive Order 9066 sent Japanese Americans to internment camps during World War II. The college hopes to bestow honorary degrees on these students or their family members at this year's spring commencement.
If anyone has any information about the whereabouts of the following individuals, please contact Mark Liang, SAC associate dean of admissions and records, at 714-564-6040 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

AB 37, which became law on October 11, 2009, requires California's public college and university systems – University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges – to retroactively grant an honorary degree to any student of Japanese American descent, living or deceased, who was forcibly removed and subsequently incarcerated during World War II.
"It's never too late to right a wrong," said Santa Ana College President Erlinda J. Martinez, Ed.D. "This is our college's opportunity to honor those former students who didn't have the chance to finish what they started at Santa Ana College. We want to honor their sacrifice and present them with their long overdue diplomas."
Between 1942 and 1945, the U.S. government forced more than 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes, farms, schools, jobs and businesses, in violation of their constitutional civil rights and liberties. The hysteria brought on by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 became a catalyst for challenging the loyalty of all citizens of Japanese descent.

Interview – Paul Austin and Denise Fletcher – Xerox and ACS (a Xerox company)
I had the opportunity to interview Denise Fletcher, Vice President Innovation, Healthcare Payer & Insurance of ACS (A Xerox company) and Paul Austin, PhD, Principle Researcher for Xerox Innovation group last year, about open innovation participation, strategies, and barriers to innovation success.
Here is the text from the interview:
1. Do you feel that companies need an innovation strategy? If so, where does open innovation fit in?
Innovation is one of the only remaining differentiators – virtually everything else in the supply chain can be outsourced – so innovation is vital to growth. Open innovation fits in as a thoughtful part of the overall strategy; no one has all the answers or perfect understanding of customers, so open innovation must contribute solutions to customer needs while not eliminating all differentiation. For example, large software systems often need to incorporate competitive features; open innovation can help sustain the baseline customer expectations while letting the development team focus on the next generation of the features that make you special and distinct. In some cases you can permit innovation in a box, like app development for the iPhone, but innovators will be frustrated by the boundaries.
2. Why is it important for organizations to consider participating in open innovation or why did your organization begin its open innovation effort?
We certainly have no monopoly on good ideas – often others can make our ideas better, and we can do the same for them. Often, others also have a different perspective on our customers' needs, or understand future customers' needs that we haven't even considered yet – they can help us avoid product myopia. Invention is not innovation – innovation also requires understanding needs and meeting them. This is why our ethnographers are so vital to our research. We've admired alphaWorks since its inception.
3. What should an organization be aware of if they decide to pursue open innovation?
This is a big culture shift if you are used to a closed system. You'll have to do some serious and honest introspection to figure out what your real, differentiating value add is. Then you can start to open the rest. Open innovation will impact your legal, marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing, and management, all in a big way.
4. Which companies do you look to as leaders in open innovation?
Certainly IBM. Sun, especially prior to Oracle. Google, particularly chrome and android. Practice Fusion. Facebook. Tesco. Apple to a bounded degree. (I'm an engineer at heart, so I apologize to those with great innovations in business that I'm ignorant of.)
5. What is the most important culture change for organizations to make in order to support innovation?
The World is Flat. Anyone can have a great idea – the challenge is in pursuing enough of them fast enough to make a difference. And the best idea does not always win. Don't forget that there are many thousand dormant open source projects lying around in cyberspace. Agility is good, and hard, and tiring, and energizing.
6. What are some of the biggest barriers to innovation that you've seen in organizations?
This is easy – my old nemesis NIH (not invented here). Systems that are already bloated with features. Legal – particularly when we want indemnity around products in our supply chains. Visibility and accountability, all the way through to our customers.
7. What skills do you believe that managers need to acquire to succeed in an innovation-led organization?
Ethnography! To understand your customers' needs, both explicit and subtly observed, that you can form solutions that really work for them. The second is an intuitive skill to be able to take discreet ideas as they are being formed and visualize how they can connect across industries and businesses. You must be able to see the possibilities and be willing to test those hypothesis.
8. If you were to change one thing about our educational system to better prepare students to contribute in the innovation work force of tomorrow, what would it be?
Tough question! We need science, math, engineering, and programming skills, of course. But we also need respect for others ideas, people observational skills, and ability to find gratification in making things better for others. This speaks to a broad education; I didn't appreciate the breath of requirements I experienced in college until I worked with others that were too focused. The senior projects in my high schools have had a positive effect; students must select a problem, a mentor, work on an activity to help solve it, and report on the results. I'm sure it's a lot of work to organize, but it pulls together skills and learning for the students in an important way.

If you've ever watched "Lidia's Italy," you know that Lidia Bastianich is one of the best-loved chefs on television, not to mention a best-selling cookbook author, restaurateur, and owner of a wildly successful food and entertainment business.
So, when Lidia speaks, we all listen. For example, did you know today is St. Joseph's Day? While not as well-known as St. Patrick, St. Joseph can hold his own. In fact, Sicilian culture celebrate this date with fig cookies.
As Lidia says on her website:
As much as the Italians would like to claim the fig as their own, the fig has deep origins somewhere in Mesopotamia. Then it made its way into the Middles East and the rest of the world. The Egyptians adored and praised the fig as a medicinal and delicious fruit. Fig breads and sweets were made way before the Italians started, but you can not take away from the Italian culture the importance the fig cookie has on St Joseph's Day. As legends go in Sicily during a year of draught and ensued famine, people would gather and pray to St. Joseph for help. St Joseph responded by sending heavy rains and until this day Sicilians, wherever they are in the world, respond by making the St Joseph's table full of offerings and amongst those offerings there must be the St. Josephs Fig Cookies.
To make these cookies using Lidia's recipe:
- ½ cup honey
- 6 tablespoons grappa or brandy
- 4 teaspoons orange juice
- 2 cups diced dried black figs
- 3¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup walnut pieces
- 1½ cups confectioner's sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
- In saucepan, bring honey, grappa and orange juice to boil. Add figs and bring to a simmer. Simmer until figs are plumped, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool thoroughly while you make the dough.
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse to combine. In a small bowl, beat together eggs and milk. With the processor running, pour egg/milk mixture into dry ingredients and process until dough forms a ball, about 15 to 20 seconds. Knead dough on counter once or twice, then wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator at least 1 hour or until firm.
- When the filling is cool, scrape into a food processor and add lemon zest and cinnamon. Process to make a smooth paste. Add the walnuts and pulse a few times, leaving the nuts slightly chunky. Transfer filling to a bowl and freeze until firm, about 1/2 hour.Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Divide dough in half and roll one half, between parchment paper, to a rectangle about 16 inch by 7 inches.
- Cut strip in half to make 2 long strips. Roll a quarter of the filling into a log that fits down the center of 1 strip. Wet the edges of the strip with water and use parchment as a guide to roll into a log and seal. Flatten the top slightly with the palm of your hand. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Using a wet knife, cut logs into 1-inch lengths and place with the cut sides facing out on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely.
- To glaze cookies, sift confectioner's sugar into a bowl and whisk in milk to make a smooth glaze. Dip a cookie in the glaze. It should stick to the cookie in a thin layer. If not, adjust consistency of glaze with more milk or confectioner's sugar.
- Dip cookies in glaze and let dry on wire racks.

Everyone may be ready for spring, but Mother Nature wants us to know it is still winter. Being February 15th, it's understandable. Some warm weather is in the forecast but not before some more snow.
A weak clipper system will move through the region late tonight and early Sunday morning. This will be similar to what happened on Friday evening only with less moisture. Thus, snowfall totals will be much lower. Expect anywhere from a dusting to perhaps an additional inch of snow by mid-morning on Sunday. Even with such small amounts, untreated roads will be icy from the combination of Friday night's snow and Sunday morning's snow.
The snow will come to an end quickly by the latter half of the morning, but clouds will be stubborn to leave. Expect highs on around 30 degrees on Sunday afternoon.
Another clipper system will impact the region on Monday. This one will be quite a bit stronger and pack more of a punch. The good news is that the stronger surface low should kick up some warmer air from the south and get us above freezing by the second half of the event.
The bad news lies in the first half of the precipitation Monday afternoon and early evening. This could fall as some light snow of even freezing rain. Just as an early heads up, the evening commute could be a little slick. Amounts will not be very high (either an inch of snow or 1/10th inch of ice) but even a little bit of ice can cause issues for the roads. Keep that in mind if you have to be out late Monday afternoon.
Any rain or freezing rain late Monday evening will briefly change back to some light snow before it exits overnight. This system will not pull down much cold air behind it for Tuesday. In fact, highs will head into the 40s for both Tuesday and Wednesday. We may even be looking at 50s for Thursday! There is some rain in the forecast both Wednesday and Thursday though. At this point, we should be happy just to see the thermometer rise regardless of rain chances though.

Alone on this inhospitable night, once again
I let my memories guide my lost steps,
Wandering amid the ghosts of my past.
As I walk along the quay,
I stare at the feeble Seine flowing:
She's dying by the street lamps' hands
While the whole city asphyxiates.
Reflecting my own lack of humanity
Over the river's lighted surface,
Griefs come and go at the water's rhythm.
Once again, on this breathtaking night,
My feelings are sealed and my chest hollow.
Purple rain, chills of cold.... Or regret? I crave
My musical drug, my remaining salvation,
Spreading a sweet poison within me and
Eroding the remaining happiness I still have.
I plug my headphones...
A grin of relief appears on my weary face,
I flee to lenient lands, where a familiar Angel tucks me in.
These notes of violin split the immutable silence,
Fill the hole in, lit a bonfire to my soul.
This mermaid sings my dreams to me,
And from now on, I know the true meaning of my life ;
Why I was born, why I should live, how much I crave living,
My own value, my hidden qualities, my thirst for life! And...
And the song ends.

N.C Governor Pat McCrory held a press conference at the Executive mansion today outlining his goals for the year and the upcoming legislative session.
Governor McCrory says, "We've got some major challenges and work to do." Calling energy exploration which is user friendly slang for offshore drilling one of the main goals of his Administration. Governor McCrory says that he wishes to work with the White House and other states on the issue of energy exploration. The Governor talked about how North Carolina is ten years behind in the effort to explore energy off the coast. And that he wants to start the process of seismic testing to see if there is oil in our state.
When Governor McCrory took office last year he promised leadership, economic growth, and jobs for North Carolina. At the time he took office N.C had the 4th highest unemployment rate in the U.S and while the unemployment rate is now lower, there are still many people out of work across the state. McCrory touted the priorities of his first year as Governor, talking about how tax reform and the controversial cuts in unemployment benefits have helped the state's economy by reducing the unemployment rate.
The Governor mentioned the the DHHS fiasco in which the medicaid cards of nearly 49,000 children were mailed to the wrong people. Asking whether or not DHHS is too big to succeed, a spin on too big to fail. Governor McCrory called for a review board to look at how things are done at DHHS. Which could imply a drastic change in the way things are done at DHHS. One of the people who will help lead the review is State Budget Director Art Pope.
Much has been said about how McCrory has not been as open to the media as previous Governor's as well as not doing enough to meet with those who have a different opinion on the issues impacting the state such as the Moral Monday crowd. In response to this Governor McCrory said that, "I would like them to be a part of the solution, I want to encourage critics by telling them that I want to meet with them if they have solutions." Adding that, "I think one area we all need to improve on is dialogue and conversation and not political soundbites against each other."
The Governor also talked about First Lady Ann McCrory's initiative to limit puppy mills in North Carolina. The Bill which is supported by the House but has stalled in the Senate could come up for debate again in the short session. Governor McCrory has hinted at inviting the State Senators to lunch at the executive residence who do not support the bill to change their mind. Other issues that were talked about was the idea of using art to make the state highways and bridges look better.

Panzer sights
The german Panzers have a quite usefull tool to estimate the distance to a enemy tank.
In the center you have a row of triangles.
The distance between the tips of these triangles equals two "Strich", wich is 1 meter for every 1000m distance.
The height of the big central triangle is 4 Strich, the small ones are 2 Strich.
Therefore, if you know the size of an target you can easily estimate the distance.
This goes as follows:
You take the size of the target, divide it by its size in Strich and multiply with 1000 and you got the distance to the enemy.
Easy example, you are sitting in your Panther and see an IS-2 rolling on the horizon.
You see that its about the distance from one triangle to the next in our sights long (two Strich) and you know that the real length of an IS-2 is quite close to ten meters (9,90m).
Therefore you divide the ten meters length by two (yes, a very easy example) and multiply by thousand and find out that its about five kilometres away.
As you looking at him from the side you can dial in your sights and fire away.
It takes quite a time to get used to this, but it improves the accuracy over long distances quite good.
Of course you need the size of the russian tanks.
Most russians tanks are about 3 meters wide and roughly about 2,70 high (KW-2 falls out of this pattern tough with his 3,20m heigth)
The SUs are all between 2m and 2,50m high.
Length differs greatly, exact datas follows:
Length 6,62 m
Width 3 m
Heigth 2,52 m
Length 8,32 m
Breite 3,07 m
Heigth 2,73 m
Länge 9,90 m
Width 3,09 m
Heigth 2,73 m
Length 6,80 m
Width 3,35 m
Heigth 2,70 m
Length 7,00 m
Width 3,32 m
Heigth 3,20 m
Length 5,00 m
Width 2,70 m
Heigth 2,10 m
Length 9,45m
Width 3,00m
Heigth 2,24m
Length 6.10 m
Width 3 m
Heigth 2.45 m
Length 6.95 m
Width 3 m
Heigth 2.32 m
Length 9,85 m
Width 3,07 m
Heigth 2,48 m
I guess it works also for the binoculars, but I haven't confirmed this yet.

Stem Cells - Fundamentals
How Does Cell Therapy Work?
Cells perform the required functions of the body and can be maintained and grown also outside (called in vitro) the body.
Certain cells can be isolated from other cells under controlled conditions.
By using isolation and manipulation of cells in vitro, it is possible to identify young regenerating cells that can be used to replace damaged or dead cells in diseased organs.
Transplantation therapy using stem cells is an exciting area as it can be used to replace diseased organs or damaged organs. This therapy if successful can be made to regenerate damaged organs, avoiding the problems of organ transplants such as the need for immuno-suppresionts to avoid rejection.
Stem cells can produce different types of cells and are called progenitor cells. Totipotent cells are called the Master cells as they contain all the genetic information required to produce all the cells of the body. After 3-4 divisions totipotent cells, becomes increasingly specialized.
Pluripotent cells results from the next stage of division, these cells can undergo differentiation to produce any type of cells except the placental cell.
During the next stage of division, the cells become multipotent, in which they can produce several cell types, but the cell types produced are limited.
After the entire process of cell division the embryo is produced, which his terminally differentiated cells, which are permanently committed to that specific function.
During recent research, it is believed that stem cell research is giving important information about the cell and the human body. It is recently discovered that multi-potent stem cells are found in adults also. Research is undergoing to find out the benefits of both adult and embryonic stem cells in medical treatments.

President Obama's failure to adequately address the child immigrant crisis has allowed the problem to fester for months and his proposed legislation while expensive, provides little in the way of policy changes. There are leaders in Congress, however, finally starting to step up in his place.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) introduced legislation on Monday to address this problem. Known as the Helping Unaccompanied Minors and Alleviating National Emergency (HUMANE) Act, this bill would permit child immigrants who have a claim to remain legally in the United States to appear in court before an immigration judge within seven days of a completion of a Health and Human Services Screening. Then, an immigration judge would make a decision on whether the child could stay in the U.S. within 72 hours. The Act also authorizes the addition of 40 new immigration judges to alleviate the court backlog.
The HUMANE ACT amends a 2008 anti-trafficking law meant to give migrant children from countries other than Mexico or Canada more legal protections. Known as the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Action Act, this legislation is perhaps the biggest contributor to the immigration crisis. The anti-trafficking law ensures that children who come to the United States will get a full immigration hearing to determine if they have a valid case for asylum. The problem is that it often takes years for the children to get a full hearing to the lack of judges and court backlog. By the time the court date arrives, the children are already in school and have made new friends. With more than 57,000 unaccompanied minors already apprehended since October 1 of last year, some may never see the inside of a courtroom. If the HUMANE Act passes, each child could be back home in two weeks assuming the system moves efficiently.
House GOP leaders will also be filing a bill as soon as Thursday and hopes to pass it next week. Indications are the bill will be similar to the HUMANE Act. The House bill will also come with a much cheaper price tag compared to the $3.7 billion the White House asked for last week. While no numbers have been released, cost estimations range between $1 billion and $2 billion. This should make things far easier to swallow for the GOP rank and file than Obama's bill.
With only two weeks before the month-long August, there is little margin for error. But good news has finally arrived on immigration.

Commercial upright microscope integrated with AFM for TERS study
Tip-enhanced Raman mapping is a very powerful and promising tool for performing material analysis and provides a wealth of chemical information with nanometre spatial resolution. One of the main requirements for tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) experiments is to bring a sharp metal tip (usually coated with gold or silver) to a focused laser "hotspot". This is often achieved by adapting an inverted microscope. Here a laser is focused on the sample from below using a high numerical aperture objective while the metal tip approaches from above. Although this type of TERS arrangement is more efficient in collecting the Raman signal, its application is limited to the study of transparent or very thin samples. For opaque or thick samples, the tip and the laser will have to be introduced from the same side, which often requires an upright microscope with a specific in-house design or modifications to the optics used.
Researchers from Imperial College London have demonstrated the possibility of obtaining TERS images with nanometre spatial resolution by using a commercially available upright microscope (top-illumination) and a gold-coated silicon AFM cantilever working in contact mode.
Mapping SWCNTs
They obtained images of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with nanometre spatial resolution by using this approach. One of main obstacles for this type of TERS study is the shadowing and the background noise generated from the cantilever. The team overcame these difficulties by using an optical mask to create side-illumination and employing a "tip at the end of the cantilever" type AFM probe to minimize the shadowing effect.
The spatial resolution achieved with this system in an upright configuration was ~20–50 nm, which demonstrates the potential of this technique for studying non-transparent materials at the nanoscale without imposing limitations on samples.
The researchers presented their work in the journal Nanotechnology.

Jason Haver: As S&P Hits New High, What's Next for Bulls and Bears?
Jason Haver
SPX has, so far, failed on the breakout attempt. Here are the bull and bear options heading forward.
On Tuesday, the
(INDEXSP:.INX) made a new high -- and I'd promised if that happened that I would eat crow. Turns out they're actually not too terrible if you use a lot of hot sauce. While munching, I was prompted to look into the metaphor, and found this on
"Crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proved wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow. The exact origin of the idiom is unknown, but it probably began with an American story published around 1850 about a slow-witted New York farmer. "
This then prompted me to look up something I wrote to the traders on my forum, back on January 29:
"This is the crummy thing about this wave -- SPX probably counts best as an expanded flat off 1849... so now we'll get an impulsive decline in the C-wave down, and all us Elliott Wave guys will probably
to favor another leg down. Then it will never come, and we'll be left holding the bag again. "
So, given the fact that I felt SPX counted
as an expanded flat, one might wonder why I didn't favor the expanded flat (which suggested new highs) to begin with; perhaps, subconsciously, I've always wanted to try crow? I'll be addressing this one internally for a while, as it seems like maybe I wanted to prove myself right about being wrong. There's a broader lesson here about life in general and trading specifically, and I suspect all of us do this to ourselves at times -- but I'll leave it to the reader to figure it out beyond that.
At this point, of course, the objective is to move forward with the market. After a mistake, I believe our goal is to
define the mistake
, as opposed to letting the mistake define us. In this case, my mistake came by ignoring the wave count which I felt was
the best (the expanded flat) in favor of the wave count in which I became emotionally invested. My apologies to readers for this. To a large degree, I'd become trapped by my prior analysis and public statements, so the upshot is that the market has freed me from that (if you've never published a widely read public analysis, you probably haven't given much thought to the weight, pressure, and sense of responsibility that comes with it.)
(And for a lot more thoughts on the psychology of overcoming mistakes, please see:
3 Common Psychological Mistakes Traders Make, and How to Overcome Them
So -- let's look at the charts with fresh eyes and see what we come away with.
First off, the
Dow Transportation Average
(INDEXDJX:DJT) has actually tracked quite well with February's projections, and appears to have completed the anticipated ABC correction within a few points of the target. The best feature about TRAN is the wave structure has clear levels, which should help define some of the more ambiguous structures currently seen in other equities markets.
Click to enlarge
SPX broke the all-time high, then turned within the three-point zone that I felt would be an important inflection point. Near term, I expect a trip toward the noted targets -- of course, bearish bets are off in the event of sustained trade above 1859.
Click to enlarge
The reality is that every form of market analysis is merely an attempt to assign probability. There is no certainty and no absolute perfection. My goal with these updates is to try and narrow down the market to the top two probabilities (the preferred and alternate counts), then to try and locate the inflection points and levels which appear key to those counts.
For the intermediate term, there are two main options heading forward:
1. If the rally marks all of wave (5), then we're in for a prolonged correction.
2. While I've been talking about topping signals for the past few updates, we do have to give consideration to the potential that the topping signals may be short term. In that event, the rally is only wave i of a subdividing wave (5) -- which would make the (assumed pending) decline a second wave, and
yet another
BTFD ("Buy the Fargin' Dip") opportunity.
At this exact moment, I don't have much of a preference between the two counts, and will simply have to see how related markets perform (yen currency crosses and US bonds, for example), along with the structure of the next decline, to begin assigning higher probability to one of those options.
Click to enlarge
In conclusion, bears appear to have the ball for the near term -- and TRAN appears to be providing the clearest near-term structure at the moment. I thus believe that chart is important to monitor for clues during the coming sessions. Trade safe.

2013 NHRA Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. had a little bit of time to celebrate his fifth championship, but got back to work for the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season before the calendar year was over.
"Just two weeks after Thanksgiving, mid-December Allen (Johnson) and I and several other teams were down in Bradenton, Florida, doing some testing and really just trying to prove out some things that we learned throughout the 2013 season," said Coughlin Jr. in a recent NHRA teleconference. "When you enter the countdown, you enter a little bit different competitive mode. We've really made some great headway in that first test session, and then we just completed another three days of testing in Bradenton this past week. So for us it was a very short off season. From my understanding, Roy (Johnson) and the engineers at J&J have been working extremely hard on horsepower and have done a great job with that. Based on some of our testing results, even with our testing motors, we were extremely quick. So we look forward to that as we move into the season. We've had some transitions within the team that we look forward to seeing play out as we've gotten our feet on the ground and ready to hit the Winternationals."
The Circle K NHRA Winternationals, opening the 2014 season Thursday through Sunday, February 6th through 9th at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in California, will see some changes to the Pro Stock ranks, including the loss of a third J&J team, that of Vincent Nobile, who moves over to KB Racing with Greg Anderson and Jason Line. Missing from the category: Mike Edwards, who sold most of his operation to Chris McGaha in the off-season.
"I think Mike was just a fantastic individual and one that a lot of us looked up to for many years," said Coughlin Jr. "He was such a smooth operator. He was always a very aggressive driver and very good driver. As he built his latest team, obviously he had the total package and they won a world championship in, I believe, '09 and were a threat each and every year. So Mike will be missed on the track without question. I'd be surprised if we didn't see him surface and be a part of the racing world, because it's been such a big part of his life and career for both he and Lisa."
Coughlin Jr. won't have an easy time defending his title in 2014 – but the family business of winning titles might give him a little inspiration.
"I've got to say when you look at the lineup of Pro Stock cars that we're faced with this year it's going to be an exciting year without question," said Coughlin Jr. "The resurgence with Dave Connolly back behind the wheel and partnered up with Shane Gray in that program, they're going to be tough. KB with three cars, the list just goes on and on. It's not going to be dull to say the least."
"The Coughlins had one heck of a season in 2013 starting with the youngest member, Clay Coughlin – I call him Cecil," continued Coughlin Jr. "He won his first championship in the Junior Dragster ranks here at our home track of National Trail Raceway. Cody Coughlin, my oldest brother's son won the CRA championship in the asphalt circle track rank, which is something I'd love to hop in and do. It just looks like a ton of fun. Troy Jr., my brother Troy's son, won his first championship in the Division 3 ranks in Super Gas, and my son Jeggy, who has not hit the pavement just yet, but he won the Ohio high school golf championship in boys' high school golf. So one heck of a year for us. To add a Pro Stock championship to those four certainly made us a banner year for all of us here."

virtual memory
View Single Post
Go4Expert Member
well, I think depending on your clarifying , it is using physical.
it is meaning , pc is using physical address like address register.
please, be patient with me if I not on a right reasoning.
this topic is very important for me, and I would like to tell you that my native language isn't english, so there are two difficult things in front of me . the topic itself and the language.
just , I ask you to more clarifying about :
it just thinks it's addressing 4 straight GB of RAM in a 32-bit chip, and the VMM handles translation to actual memory and page faults etc.
are you meaning 32-bit chip is virtual memory?
if these registers of cpu has physical address as I understood, what is making cpu thinks addressing 4 gb of ram ? does the address field make cpu thinks that?

Many authors want independence as opposed to joining corporate publication houses. Here, they have all privileges to books they create and find it easier to write on what they know about. However, marketing books is not easy for a first hand author and this marks many challenges in their career. Most cannot even sell a single book making it hard to start publicizing. It is not easy for ambitious authors to charm clients even if they have noble concepts.
Self-publishers need to acclimatize to latest modes of book promotion with the online network taking up most market segment. This makes it easy for them to sell books in software from all over the globe, and broaden their market. It is also an economical method unlike print publication since they only need one facsimile and uploads it on the site.
Capturing markets is not easy and appearance states everything in books. Familiarizing to cutting-edge designs of covers, and capitalizing in software application is rocket science to many writers since they know nothing in this section.
Book cover design is not just about adding image and colour but representing the entire book using spectacular designs. Most critics start by studying books cover designs and if it does not entice them, they will not bother to know what it is. This does not have to transpire thanks to agora publishing.com, a non-profit organization which enables authors establish ground for marketing.
AgoraPublishing.com offers a number of different cover design techniques to authors, making it easy for them to represent their books professionally online. These graphic design services deal with entire book from text, captions, and photos, to cover. This makes it easy for an author to rank among best book designers, which many book critics assess and gauge quality of the writer. This is an affordable process since Agorapublishing.com has experienced designers, have different applications and deals with latest design tools to offer different authors perfection in their work. This publishing house makes it easier for authors to market books, hence easy for them to appear on book searches online, and other affiliate site, they deal with.
Aspiring authors only need to upload the book on their site and start to market it online and it becomes easier to appeal clients. This saves thousands of dollars in design and marketing costs, which many aspiring authors cannot fund. Agorapublishing.com makes it easier for writers to access different designs, book style presentation and marketing tips to enable them blossom in this sector.

Q: Regarding recent developments with the Keystone XL pipeline being rerouted, what concessions have leading Nebraska legislators made as they cooperate with TransCanada?
A: It's to early to speculate on the new route but the legislation, introduced Nov. 14 in the State legislature, if passed, will ensure a pipeline route will be developed in Nebraska that avoids the Sandhills.
Working together with the State Department, Nebraska's Department of Environmental Quality will conduct an environmental assessment to define the best location for Keystone XL in Nebraska. We will cooperate with these agencies and provide them with the information they need to complete a thorough review that addresses concerns regarding the Sandhills region.
Q: What are the implications for TransCanada since the Keystone XL pipeline is rerouted and bypasses the sensitive Sandhills terrain in Nebraska? Will the pipeline also be rerouted away from South Dakota? How much will it cost in dollars and time if this delay occurs?
A: Again, its to early to speculate on the new route and its costs but it will not be re-routed away from South Dakota.
Q: How will this time delay affect the shippers and refiners? Have they already lost interest because of the delay or is this contract obviously worth waiting for?
A: We remain confident Keystone XL will ultimately be approved. This project is too important to the U.S. economy, the Canadian economy and the national interest of the United States for it not to proceed. We have had discussions with our shippers and we are confident their support of Keystone XL will continue.
TransCanada says Oil sands GHG emissions constitute just over 0.1 (1/1000th) of global GHG emissions
Q: Protestors say they want the pipeline stopped because of pollution to air, land and water as well as an increase of greenhouse gas emissions that will increase dramatically upstream, primarily in Northern Alberta but possibly in other areas in the US. Did the 3 year long environmental impact study assess this possibility and if so, is this fear warranted?
A: The EIS looked in to the environmental impact of this project and it outlined that the environmental impact is minimal. Oil sands GHG emissions constitute just over 0.1 (1/1000th) of global GHG emissions, 6.5 per cent of Canadian GHG emissions. (Source: Environment Canada 2011)
Q: Is there any way that you can work with the environmentalists so that there is mutual cooperation by monitoring air, land, and water quality to avoid gross contamination that may occur in both countries as a result of possible leaks and spills from the pipeline? Would this not be in the best interest of everyone and the most responsible approach?
A: Our emergency response plan has been evaluated and approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the government body charged with ensuring pipeline safety in the United States.
TransCanada has safety and emergency strategies in place if there are leaks and spills
Q: If this pipeline gets approved, what emergency safety measures and clean up strategies does TransCanada have in place if there is a disastrous spill that may contaminate land, aquifers, and surface water along the route where the pipeline is placed in both countries?
A: Our Keystone pipeline system is monitored 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Our pumps are remotely operated and the system includes hundreds of valves that shut down immediately with any loss in oil flow or pressure.
Our state of the art leak detection system includes overlapping systems to promptly detect a leak including: remote monitoring of pressure and flow data from the pump stations and valve sites that allows us to detect leaks down to approximately 25-30 per cent of pipeline flow rate;
software-based volume balance systems that monitor receipt and delivery volumes sufficient to detect leaks down to approximately 5 per cent of pipeline flow rate;
computational monitoring capable of detecting leaks to a level of approximately 1.5 to 2 per cent of pipeline flow rate;
volume trending analysis to assist in identifying low-rate or seepage releases below the 1.5 to 2 per cent of pipeline flow detection thresholds; and,
direct-observation methods, including aerial patrols, ground patrols, and public and landowner awareness programs.
Voluntary agreements with landowners and job opportunities will be plentiful on both sides of the border
Q: What if landowners along the lengthy rerouted path revolt causing further delay? Will they have a legal case to reject the installation of the pipeline on their land?
A: Our focus is to work with landowners and reach voluntary agreements with them for our easements. We already work with over 60,000 landowners across North America.
Q: How many jobs in Canada and the US will be created because of this project?
A: The project will generate 13,000 construction jobs in the US and 3,000 construction jobs in Canada. In addition, we expect to create 7,000 manufacturing jobs and over 118,000 spinoff jobs as a result of this project.

Club celebrate special Foundation Day
by Kate Smith
Players to wear one-off shirts on Saturday.
Sunderland AFC will celebrate 'Foundation Day' at the club's forthcoming Barclays Premier League game against Arsenal' in honour of club's registered charity, the Foundation of Light.
Taking place on Saturday 9th February, the aim of the day is to raise awareness and funds for the organisation, which worked with more than 40,000 children and adults last year.
Prior to kickoff Sunderland's players will warm up wearing t-shirts bearing the Foundation's logo and Twitter username (@SAFCFoL). They will also be welcomed to the pitch by participants from the Foundation's hugely successful community programmes waving Foundation of Light flags.
During the match the Black Cats stars will wear one-off match shirts bearing the Foundation's logo, which will then be individually signed and auctioned off after the game in aid of the charity.
At half time X Factor finalist Carolynne Poole will draw the half time 'Grand in your Hand' lottery. Carolynne was recently announced as the first Ambassador for the Foundation and will help raise the profile of the charity over the coming months.
Foundation of Light Trustees Ellis Short, Sir Bob Murray CBE, Sir Tim Rice, Kate Adie OBE, Baroness Estelle Morris of Yardley and Sir Peter Vardy will present Foundation Chief Executive Lesley Spuhler with a symbolic cheque for £15 million at pitch side, representing the total sum that the organisation has raised and invested into the local community since its formation in 2001.
Participants from the Foundation's Family Learning, Heart of the Game and Little Dribblers programmes will also take to the pitch at half time showing off some of the charity's work first hand.
Finally, participants from some of the Foundation's recent fundraising activities will lap the pitch raising awareness for the type of activity fans can get involved in to support the charity. Upcoming events include a Dublin to Sunderland Cycle challenge, zip wire from the top of the Stadium of Light across the River Weir, runs at the Lambton Estate in County Durham and the Marathon of the North.
Established 11 years ago by former Sunderland AFC Chairman Sir Bob Murray CBE, the Foundation of Light is one of the biggest and most developed football foundations in the world. Structurally and financially independent from the football club, the Foundation relies on fundraising for 95% of project costs every year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Foundation of Light CEO Lesley Spuhler said: "We're incredibly grateful for the support that we've received from Sunderland AFC, including the directors and players, in holding our second Foundation Day. Sunderland AFC were the first club to support their Foundation with a similar day last season at our Chelsea game, and the fact that the club have now made it an annual event says a lot about their commitment to both the Foundation and the community.
"We hope that fans will enjoy the activities on the day and become motivated to learn more about us, and eventually become a part of our continuing success."
A 'Friend of the Foundation' initiative will also be launched at the game aimed at helping community spirited individuals become involved in supporting positive change in the region.
For further information about the Foundation of Light follow @SAFCFoL on Twitter.

Today, I'll begin a three part series on the Timmons Model because the principles are still relevant and can help you assess and develop any business opportunity. Let's review them.
The Elements of the Model
There are three elements to the Timmons Model. I first learned the three-point version in an Entrepreneurship Class taught by Stephen Spinelli, founder of Jiffy Lube and former Babson Graduate School of Business Professor.
The primary forces in the Timmons Model are the founder and entrepreneurial team, recognition of the opportunity, and the resources needed to start the business. When those three line up like a lucky roll of dice, the venture has the opportunity to generate commercial success for you and your investors, if you have any. However, this isn't a model of luck. Instead, it is based on real-time, realistic assessments that can make or break the bank. In today's series Part 1, we'll review the principle element, the entrepreneurial team.
The Entrepreneurial Team
Entrepreneurs don't wait for something to happen. Instead, they create from scratch, recreate, or seek opportunities that can be molded into commercial success. This principle suggests that the lead entrepreneur, also called the founder, has the skills to execute on his or her vision. If the founder doesn't have the skills, he or she has the ability to pull together a team that does.
Although the founder may not have the skills, they understand the opportunity sufficiently enough to know how the opportunity should play out. An example would be Phil Knight. Phil did not have the skills to make a pair of NIKE sport shoes, but as a runner, he understood that a shoe's gripping ability could create a performance advantage for the wearer. Nike's performance and subsequent technological enhancements enabled Knight to build a multi-billion dollar company. In fact, Nike's LeBron Air Max X may cost as much as $300+ when the company releases the Nike Plus Technology version. In short, the cornerstone of Nike's success is built on Knight's running skills and instinct.
I used to resent the idea that the Timmons model is based on a team. Most entrepreneurs are lone rangers, they may build a team, but the initial idea originates from a lone ranger. However, there are some that would argue that you need a team to build a business that is large enough to realize a capital gain versus an income. Nevertheless, the lack of a team should not stop you from pursuing that big idea. Just do it.
In my view, the Internet affords everyone the ability to capitalize on an opportunity and build substantial wealth independent of a team. A few notable examples include Harry Potter Series author J.K. Rowlings, the founder of Carol's Daughter body-care products Lisa Price, and the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire Sara Blakely, who created the ultra modern girdle known as Spanx. These women, and there are many more like them, albeit not as wealthy, as well as a universe of men, initially pursued their interest, passion, and 'aha' moment, independent of anyone else. So an entrepreneurial team is great, but if you have an opportunity you need to get on with it.
In analyzing the entrepreneurial process, there are no systematic models to follow. I often tell people follow your passion. Or, start with what you know. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. You really need a framework in which to assess your idea and that is where Timmons model becomes particularly useful.
While passion, knowledge, instinct, and experience are tremendous starting points, Timmons model isolates the three driving forces behind new venture creation, the founders (entrepreneur), opportunity recognition, and resource requirements. By separating and continually analyzing all three, you can improve your chances of success. Here's why.
For any new venture, many variables are happening and changing constantly. As an entrepreneur, your role is to manage and manipulate the variables to your advantage. For example, let's say that you start a business. It could be anything as long as it results in what is referred to as a profitable internal rate of return (IRR).
As a newly minted entrepreneur, you may go through a number of iterations before you find something that sticks and returns a sufficient IRR. The fact that you are in a trial-and-error state of flux suggests that you possess the will, energy, mindset and know-how to keep at it until the outcome results in the required IRR. Not everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
The aspiring entrepreneur must work with several unknowns impacting his or her ability to execute on their idea including the following:
- Timing. The opportunity has to occur at the right time. Facebook came along at the right time.
- Fit. The framework has to fit. Apple had Steve Jobs, the Macintosh Computer, and investors willing to bet.
- Founder(s). Whether you go it alone or have a team, you have to have the intellect to execute. In other words, you need to know something about the industry, offering or users; you must have a strategy to enter the market; and you must know the margins of the industry, i.e., for every dollar sold, how much should be costs versus profit.
If you possess elements which make a great entrepreneur, you have one third of what it takes to realize a high-potential venture. The next step is to recognize the opportunity, which we will cover in Part II of our series next week.

J. Desmond Clark
I'm sure that many of my colleagies
in journalism would join me in remembering how invariably generous
Dr. Clark was in helping us interpret the complexities of hominid
evolution; in offering us unbiased comments when we needed to perform
our strange version of peer-review, and for his always gently-worded
suggestions for improvement when we asked him if what we were about
to write was a reasonable interpretation of some scientific paper
we had trouble understanding. I often wished I had chosen his field
as my own and had had Dr. Clark as a mentor.

Softball Splits Day 1 At Fiesta Bowl Classic
Feb. 13, 2004
PHOENIX, Ariz. - The University of Massachusetts softball team (1-1) opened up the 2004 season with an 8-0 win over Ohio State (0-1) and an 8-0 loss to 23rd-ranked Fresno State (1-0) this afternoon in the first day of action at the Fiesta Bowl Tournament held at the Rose Mofford Softball Complex.
In its first game of the season, UMass scored eight runs in the final three innings to shut out Ohio State, 8-0. Senior KC Budrewicz (Buckland, Mass.) began the top of the fifth inning with a single, the first UMass hit of the game, and advanced to second two batters later on a single by freshman Amanda Morin (Worcester, Mass.). Budrewicz was then picked off of second base, but senior Aisha Franke (Philadelphia, Pa.) delivered a RBI single to center scoring Morin with the game's first run. It marked the first hit and run for Morin in her career. Franke, who moved to second on the throw home, then scored when junior Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.) singled.
The two runs turned out to be all sophomore pitcher Jenna Busa (Lexington, Mass.) would need. She scattered four hits and four walks for the shutout. Busa struck out five batters. OSU loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the fifth inning, but Busa used a strikeout, a pop-out and a foul out on just six pitches to get out of the jam. Senior Nicole Wilson (Gaithersburg, Md.) made a sliding catch in front of the UMass dugout to end the threat.
The Minutewomen added an insurance run in the top of the sixth when sophomore Kristi Stefanoni (Columbus, N.J.) tripled home Budrewicz for her first career hit. Massachusetts then scored five more times in the seventh after there were two outs to end any hopes of a Buckeye comeback. Morin had a two-RBI double in the frame.
In game two of the day, No. 23 Fresno State scored eight times in the final three innings to take an 8-0, five-inning victory. Junior Kelli Arnold (Kalama, Wash.) lasted just 3.2 innings for the Minutewomen. She gave up seven earned runs and eight hits while walking three. Junior Barbara LaFogg (Williamsburg, Mass.) gave up one run on one hit in the final 1.1 innings. Fresno State All-American pitcher Jamie Southern was the story. She gave up just one hit (by Morin), while scattering three walks. She fanned six batters.
Massachusetts will play two more times tomorrow in the second day of the Fiesta Bowl Classic hosted by Arizona State University. The Minutewomen will play Cal State Northridge at 2:00 p.m. EST and No. 11 Cal State Fullerton at 7:30 p.m. EST. UMass' first game will be played at ASU's Farrington Stadium in Tempe, while it moves back to the Rose Mofford Complex in Phoenix for the night cap.

Volume: 23 Issue: 9 (September 2000)
Spotlight: Better Rendering from autodessys
The latest version, formZ 3.6, adds significant rendering features, including support for multiprocessing under Windows. Other upgrades to the program include improved spline, drawing, and OpenGL capabilities, as well as new shaders and lights.
Architect Bret Thompson uses formZ to create finished renderings for presentations, and is an early user of Version 3.6. "The multiprocessing support [for faster rendering] is probably the best feature," he says. Thompson also likes the new surface-style shaders, particularly the brick and wood varieties. And he notes that lights have been simplified in the latest version. "Now each light can have different settings for its intensity and shadows," he says. "There used to be a global setting."
Thompson says he hopes to see day lighting, reference files, and moving objects in animations in future versions. According to the company, version 3.6 is likely to be the last in the 3.x generation of formZ. Version 4 will be radically different, featuring a modular structure and an open architecture for plug-ins. Also in the works is a direct format translator for import and export between formZ and NewTek's LightWave.
FormZ and formZ RadioZity and RenderZone, both of which are built on the LightWorks rendering engine, run on Mac OS and Windows 95/98/NT/2000 platforms. Versions for both operating systems require a minimum of 16mb of RAM and 20mb of hard disk space. The RenderZone version requires an additional 16mb of RAM and 10mb of hard disk space. The formZ package costs $1495. RadioZity and RenderZone are $395 and $500, respectively. (autodessys; Columbus, OH; 614-488-8838;

November 9, 2000
Carbondale, Ill. -
The Southern Illinois University Carbondale (8-19, 1-14 in MVC) volleyball is still looking to end the 2000 season on a positive note. Despite two losses last week, the Salukis hope to win two of their final three matches in an effort to reach ten wins (doubling last season's total) overall and equal their MVC total of three wins in 1999.
"Anytime you still have a chance to accomplish a goal, there can be some excitement there. I think that it's essential when you're not going to the conference tournament, that you find something to play for. Outside of the sheer love of the game, having another goal makes the competition more exciting to me," said Sonya Locke, Saluki head coach.
"We haven't been very successful on the road within the conference, so the task will be tougher than it sounds. I never doubt whether we can win, it's a matter of will we put together enough of the essential elements to win the matches. I know we can, but will we."
The Salukis may be out of the MVC Tournament, but teams like Bradley (6th place, but eliminated from contention with a loss) and Northern Iowa (1st place) will not look past Southern Illinois in a critical weekend of MVC play.
"I think that those two teams are going to have something riding on these matches. Their spot at the conference tournament will be dictated by wins and losses at this point. They're in or still have a chance to get in, but where they stand could be in jeopardy if they falter," added Locke. "They'll be forcing the issue and won't take these matches lightly. They are playing at home and it's critical to win with some other seeds playing each other this weekend. We'd love to be the spoilers."
After losing to Bradley in four games and Northern Iowa in three games earlier this year, Coach Locke says there's no doubt that the team believes they can win these matches.
"I don't think there's ever been any doubt in their minds that they (the girls) could win. The team knows what it takes, but executing it and knowing it are totally different. Our problem is executing those things. I don't think we've ever really lacked confidence. I think deep inside they know they can win games and matches, but our ability to control our emotions when we're in the matches is something that is a question mark," stated Locke.
"Can we control our emotions in two of the last three matches to get to ten wins, I don't know. I do know they're working so hard and they don't want to end on a sour note. They really don't want to end on a negative note and I'm pretty thankful for that, they could have kicked the bucket a long time ago, but they really have done a good job."
After the Salukis travel to Bradley on Friday, November 10, and Northern Iowa on Saturday, November 11, SIU will host Evansville in the final match of the season on Thursday, November 16, at 7 p.m. in Davies Gym.
