This year the Richard P. Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching has been awarded to Professor of English Kevin Gilmartin, who has taught at Caltech for the past 24 years.
Gilmartin was nominated for this prize by students in several different disciplines, who praise his enthusiasm and accessibility, his artful handling of classroom discussion and debate, and his patient tutoring in the fine art of writing. In teaching evaluations, students describe Gilmartin as "an eloquent lecturer" and a "supportive professor" whose "enthusiasm is contagious."
The Feynman Prize committee—tasked with honoring a professor "who demonstrates, in the broadest sense, unusual ability, creativity, and innovation" in teaching—was unanimous in its support of Gilmartin, describing him as "an example to the Institute of the possibilities for engagement, discovery, and growth through classroom teaching."
Gilmartin's classes are no steady trudge through lectures and essays. Rather, they are taught seminar-style with student presentations, classroom discussions, and field trips to the Huntington Library. Gilmartin notes that he is particularly interested in helping students understand the historical context in which works of literature are produced, a theme that dominates his scholarly work as well. For example, this semester in a course on the works of Jane Austen (English 127), students are dabbling in what Gilmartin calls "a fascinating print record" from the period, ranging from manuals of conduct for young women to instructional pamphlets on everything from dancing to gardening. "Through the wonders of digital media," says Gilmartin, "students can see things that they would have previously found only in a rare books reading room."
Gilmartin also has pioneered workshops with visiting poets brought to campus through support from the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Provost's Office. "There's something remarkable about teaching a course where many of the authors that we read are still alive and are writing in ways that students feel are contemporary," says Gilmartin, "but then to have one of the writers actually present on campus has been a revelation for me and my students."
One of the Caltech students who nominated Professor Gilmartin for the Feynman Prize declares that he "vivifies the 'human' in 'humanities.'" She notes that teaching English can be an uphill battle at Caltech: "Despite a massive torrent of degradation inflicted upon the humanities by this sea of science-loving skeptics, Professor Kevin Gilmartin kindles a fire within each of his students to love English."
Gilmartin's impact on individual students is profound. As a Caltech alumna noted in her nomination of Gilmartin, "I came to Caltech believing that I was at best a mediocre writer and because of that, approached humanities courses with only a cursory effort. However, week after week, Professor Gilmartin would email me back with thoughtful and encouraging responses to my weekly write-ups. Gradually, I noticed myself spending more and more time on the assigned writings and speaking up more during class because, for the first time, I felt as if my opinions mattered."
Gilmartin himself, though certainly pleased by the award, is keen to share the credit with his colleagues and with Caltech administrators who have supported humanities programs in the classroom and beyond, notably with the recent development of the Hixon Writing Center. "I was closely involved in recruiting Susanne Hall as the director of the Hixon Center, and she has supported my teaching in extraordinary ways through her peer tutoring program," he says. "One of my most rewarding recent experiences as a teacher has been to see a number of students from my freshman humanities courses go on to become peer tutors in the writing program themselves."
Alongside his regular teaching, Gilmartin serves as faculty advisor for the student literary and visual arts magazine, Totem. Another Caltech alumnus credits Gilmartin for making it possible for Totem "to host a documentary and feature film director to discuss elements of cinema, and a JPL scientist who uses the art form of origami to do mathematical modeling." Gilmartin recalls that when he was first asked to be the magazine's faculty advisor in 2002, "I didn't know what a faculty advisor was expected to do." He learned on the job, and notes that he has been glad to help student editors with funding issues and to act as the magazine's "institutional memory" as senior editors and writers graduate and new editors and writers come in.
These and other Caltech students "make teaching easy," Gilmartin says. "Our students are extraordinarily bright, interested, and engaged. It's true that I've had to find ways to meet them halfway, and that's been a positive learning process for me as well. When classroom circumstances are right, their willingness to be engaged, their enthusiasm, their interest in literature and in challenging themselves is in no way restricted to the sciences."
The Feynman Prize has been endowed through the generosity of Ione and Robert E. Paradise and an anonymous local couple. Some of the most recent winners of the Feynman Prize include Steven Frautschi, professor of theoretical physics, emeritus; Paul Asimow, professor of geology and geochemistry; and Morgan Kousser, the William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of History and Social Science.
Nominations for next year's Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching will be solicited in the fall. Further information about the prize can be found on the Provost's Office website.
The ground beneath our feet may seem unexceptional, but it has a profound impact on the mechanics of landslides, earthquakes, and even Mars rovers. That is why civil and mechanical engineer Jose Andrade studies soils as well as other granular materials. Andrade creates computational models that capture the behavior of these materials—simulating a landslide or the interaction of a rover wheel and Martian soil, for instance. Though modeling a few grains of sand may be simple, predicting their action as a bulk material is very complex. "This dichotomy…leads to some really cool work," says Andrade. "The challenge is to capture the essence of the physics without the complexity of applying it to each grain in order to devise models that work at the landslide level."
Geobiologist Victoria Orphan looks deep into the ocean to learn how microbes influence carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling. For more than 20 years, her lab has been studying methane-breathing marine microorganisms that inhabit rocky mounds on the ocean floor. "Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, so tracing its flow through the environment is really a priority for climate models and for understanding the carbon cycle," says Orphan. Her team recently discovered a significantly wider habitat for these microbes than was previously known. The microbes, she thinks, could be preventing large volumes of the potent greenhouse gas from entering the oceans and reaching the atmosphere.
Researchers know that aerosols—tiny particles in the atmosphere—scatter and absorb incoming sunlight, affecting the formation and properties of clouds. But it is not well understood how these effects might influence climate change. Enter chemical engineer John Seinfeld. His team conducted a global survey of the impact of changing aerosol levels on low-level marine clouds—clouds with the largest impact on the amount of incoming sunlight Earth reflects back into space—and found that varying aerosol levels altered both the quantity of atmospheric clouds and the clouds' internal properties. These results offer climatologists "unique guidance on how warm cloud processes should be incorporated in climate models with changing aerosol levels," Seinfeld says.
Tiny parasitic worms infect nearly half a billion people worldwide, causing gastrointestinal issues, cognitive impairment, and other health problems. Biologist Paul Sternberg is on the case. His lab recently analyzed the entire 313-million-nucleotide genome of the hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum to determine which genes turn on when the worm infects its host. A new family of proteins unique to parasitic worms and related to the early infection process was identified; the discovery could lead to new treatments targeting those genes. "A parasitic infection is a balance between the parasites trying to suppress the immune system and the host trying to attack the parasite," Sternberg observes, "and by analyzing the genome, we can uncover clues that might help us alter that balance in favor of the host."
Earth is special, not least because our solar system has a unique (as far as we know) orbital architecture: its rocky planets have relatively low masses compared to those around other sun-like stars. Planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin has an explanation. Using computer simulations to describe the solar system's early evolution, he and his colleagues showed that Jupiter's primordial wandering initiated a collisional cascade that ultimately destroyed the first generation population of more massive planets once residing in Earth's current orbital neighborhood. This process wiped the inner solar system's slate clean and set the stage for the formation of the planets that exist today. "Ultimately, what this means," says Batygin, "is that planets truly like Earth are intrinsically not very common."
Human understanding of the world has evolved over centuries, anchored to scientific and technological advancements and our ability to map uncharted territories. Historian Nicolás Wey-Gόmez traces this evolution and how the age of discovery helped shape culture and politics in the modern era. Using primary sources such as letters and diaries, he examines the assumptions behind Europe's encounter with the Americas, focusing on early portrayals of native peoples by Europeans. "The science and technology that early modern Europeans recovered from antiquity by way of the Arab world enabled them to imagine lands far beyond their own," says Wey-Gómez. "This knowledge provided them with an essential framework to begin to comprehend the peoples they encountered around the globe."
At Caltech, researchers study the Earth from many angles—from investigating its origins and evolution to exploring its geology and inner workings to examining its biological systems. Taken together, their findings enable a more nuanced understanding of our planet in all its complexity, helping to ensure that it—and we—endure. This slideshow highlights just a few of the Earth-centered projects happening right now at Caltech.
In general, our financial lives follow a pattern of spending and saving described by a time-honored model that economists call the life-cycle hypothesis. Most people begin their younger years strapped for cash, earning little money while also investing heavily in skills and education. As the years go by, career advances result in higher income, which can be used to pay off debts incurred early on and to save for retirement. Indeed everyone is well aware that later in life earnings will drop and spending will outpace savings.
But how does the life-cycle hypothesis hold up when the income pattern is reversed—such as in the case of young, multimillionaire NFL players who earn large sums at first, but then experience drastic income reductions in retirement just a few years later? Not too well, a new Caltech study suggests.
The study, led by Colin Camerer, Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Economics, was published as a working paper on April 13 by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
"The life-cycle hypothesis in economics assumes people have perfect willpower and are realistic about how long their careers will last. Behavioral economics predicts something different, that even NFL players earning huge salaries will struggle to save enough," Camerer says.
"We wanted to test this theory with NFL players because there is a lot of tension between their income in the present, as a player, and their expected income in the future, after retirement. NFL players put the theory to a really extreme test," says graduate student Kyle Carlson, the first author of the study. "We suspected that NFL players' behavior might differ from the theory because they may be too focused on the present or overconfident about their career prospects. We had also seen many media reports of players struggling with their finances."
A professional football player's career is not like that of the average person. Rather than finding an entry-level job that pays a pittance when just out of college, a football player can earn millions of dollars—more than the average person makes in an entire lifetime—in just one season. However, the young athlete's lucrative career is also likely to be short-lived. After just a few years, most pro football players are out of the game with injuries and are forced into retirement and, usually, a much smaller income. And that is when the financial troubles often begin to surface.
The researchers decided to see how the life-cycle model would respond in such a feast-or-famine income situation. They entered the publicly available income data from NFL players into a simulation to predict how well players should fare in retirement, based on their income and the model. The simulations suggested that the players' initial earnings should support them through their entire retirement. In other words, these players should never go bankrupt.
However, when the researchers looked at what actually happens, they found that approximately 2 percent of players have filed for bankruptcy within just two years of retirement, and more than 15 percent file within 12 years after retirement. "Two percent is not itself an enormous number. But the players look similar to regular people who are making way less money," Carlson says. "The players have the capacity to avoid bankruptcy by planning carefully, but many are not doing that."
Interestingly, Carlson and his colleagues also determined that a player's career earnings and time in the league had no effect on the risk of bankruptcy. That is, although a player who earned $20 million over a 10-year career should have substantially more money to support his retirement, he actually is just as likely to go bankrupt as someone who only earned $2 million in one year. Regardless of career length, the risk of bankruptcy was about the same. "It stands to reason that making more money should protect you from bankruptcy, but for these guys it doesn't," Carlson says.
The results of the study are clear: the life-cycle model does not seem to match up with the income spikes and dips of a career athlete. The cause of this disconnect between theory and reality, however, is less apparent, Carlson says.
"There are many reasons why the players may struggle to manage their high incomes," says Carlson. For example, the players, many of whom are drafted directly out of college, often do not have any experience in business or finance. Many come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. In addition, players may be pressured to spend by other high-earning teammates.
This work raises questions for future research both for behavioral economists and for scholars of personal finance. Because football players, by nature, might be more willing to take risks than the average person, are they also more willing also make risky financial decisions? Are football players perhaps saving for retirement early in their careers, but later using bankruptcy as a tool to eliminate spending debt?
"Indeed it may well be that these high rates of bankruptcies are partly driven by the risk attitudes of football players and partly driven by regulatory practices that shield retirements assets from bankruptcy procedures," says Jean-Laurent Rosenthal, the Rea A. and Lela G. Axline Professor of Business Economics and chair of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, who also specializes in the field of behavioral economics.
"These results don't say why the players have a higher incidence of bankruptcy than the model would predict. We plan to investigate that in the future with additional modeling and data," Carlson says. "The one thing that we know right now is that there's something going on with these players that is different from what's in the model."
The study was published in a working paper titled, "Bankruptcy Rates among NFL Players with Short-Lived Income Spikes." In addition to Carlson and Camerer, additional coauthors include Joshua Kim from the University of Washington and Annamaria Lusardi of the George Washington University. Camerer's work is supported by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation.
Richard Roll, the Linde Institute Professor of Finance at Caltech, has been named one of two recipients of this year's Onassis Prize in Finance. Awarded only once every three years, the Onassis Prizes honor the contributions of top thinkers in the fields of finance, international trade, and shipping.
"As the Linde Professor of Finance, Richard Roll anchors a revitalized program in finance at Caltech that is now making great strides in both original research and in improving the course offerings for both undergraduate and graduate students," says Jean-Laurent Rosenthal, chair of the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences at Caltech. "It is wonderful to see him recognized with this prestigious prize."
The Onassis Prizes are awarded jointly by the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation and the Cass Business School, part of City University London. Roll shares this year's award for finance with Stewart Myers, an economics professor at MIT.
"The Onassis Prize in Finance has been awarded previously to Nobel laureate Eugene Fama, Caltech trustee and Deutsche Bank Prize recipient Stephen Ross, along with my esteemed corecipient this year, Stewart Myers. I am humbled and deeply honored to be included in such company," says Roll.
In a statement, the Cass Business School and Onassis Foundation noted, "This year's winners have made foundational contributions to finance since the beginning of its transformation to a rigorous science-based discipline, nearly a half century ago: Stewart Myers in corporate finance and Richard Roll in capital markets."
Roll is known for his work on portfolio theory—the design of optimal investment portfolios—and asset pricing. His most widely cited paper has come to be known as "Roll's Critique." That work cast into doubt empirical tests of the capital asset pricing model, then a premier model of risk and return. Roll has also collaborated with Caltech alumnus and trustee Stephen Ross (BS '65) to test Ross's alternative model of risk and return known as the arbitrage pricing theory. Roll continues to work in this area; in his most recent working paper, he proposes a new way to test the most prominent modern asset pricing theory.
Roll joined the faculty at Caltech in 2014 after spending nearly 40 years at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He has also held faculty positions at Carnegie-Mellon University, the European Institute for Advanced Study of Management in Brussels, and the French business school Hautes Études Commerciales near Paris.
He earned his undergraduate degree in aeronautical engineering from Auburn University. He then was employed by Boeing, where he worked on the 727 and wrote the operating manual for the first stage booster of the Saturn moon rocket, while earning his MBA at the University of Washington. Realizing that he was more interested in business than engineering, he quit his job and completed a PhD in economics, finance, and statistics at the University of Chicago.
In addition to his academic positions, Roll has founded several companies and has served as a consultant to numerous governmental agencies and corporations. He was a vice president of Goldman, Sachs & Co. from 1985 until 1987. He also served as president of the American Finance Association in 1987.
Roll has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and has won Graham and Dodd Awards for financial writing four times. Among other achievements, Roll has won the Leo Melamed Award for outstanding scholarship by a business school professor (1990), the Roger F. Murray Prize from the Institute for Quantitative Research in Finance (2001), and the Nicholas Molodovsky Award from the Association for Investment Management Research (2002), and was named "Financial Engineer of the Year for 2009" by the International Association of Financial Engineers. He is also a fellow of the Econometric Society.
The winners of the Onassis Prizes were announced by Alderman Alan Yarrow, the Lord Mayor of London, at Mansion House in London on March 20. Roll and the other 2015 honorees will receive their awards at a ceremony in September.

text: Hi, one motivation to write the formerly mentioned python scripts to visualize Qucs data was to plot a variable value against a sweep parameter. Now I found out, that this could be done within Qucs. I insert the following equation in the schematic: y=out.v[:,1] Then I can plot an twodimensional diagramm y vs. param. Unlike in python where an index of -1 means "last item" out.v[:,-1] is invalid in qucs. This data slicing does not work with s-parameters. out.S[1,1][:,1] is invalid. Does anyone know wether it is possible anyhow? BTW: I updated my python script at http://www.desy.de/~traber/qucs-scripts.html to work with s-parameters by omitting "[","]" and ",". The resulting variable names are then S11, S21 and so on. Unfortunately my script does not handle complex numbers yet. The script now handles multidimensional arrays. You'll get those when doing nested parameter sweeps. Thomas

Hello all,
I'm new to the list..
Anyway, I find myself with about a month of free time, and I want file
transfer to work. I am in the process of figuring out the MSN file transfer
protocol, (well, I started today, doing some packet captures and things,
haven't really *started* yet). However, I'm wondering if I'm duplicating
effort, have people already done this? Also, I read in the archives that
people were working on the gaim/UI side of the file transfer stuff at a low
priority, if you want help, I'm available, and I could work almost
exclusively on it, so we might get it done a bit faster. Let me know.
Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
try this link for some inside info about the file transfer in msn:
also "everybuddy" has it already, maybe a sneaky peak to the source can help :)

Hiya Everyone,
Live Demo: Untitled Document
My two blue containers are behind the curtains and for the top section, I would like to have some text. I don't want any of this text to become hidden and therefore I am hoping there is a way to have a trapezoid shaped container for the text to start off with the width being smaller and then go bigger towards the bottom and then furthermore if needed have a straight, not sure what the shape is called, think of a trapezoid on top of a box.
Any of this possible?
Best Regards,

We have a 2000 Ford Windstar that has a raw gas smell in the cabin after the car heats up. The gas tank is pressureized and vapors pour out of the gas cap when loosened. The car seems to do this more when the gas tank is over a half tank. What can cause this?

"The Dead Gentleman" is a wild ride between parallel New York City timestreams 1901 and today. Eleven-year-old Tommy Learner is a street orphan and an unlikely protege to the Explorers, a secret group dedicated to exploring portals the hidden doorways to other worlds. But while investigating an attercop (man-eating spider) in the basement of an old hotel, Tommy is betrayed and trapped. And it's then that his world collides with that of modern-day Jezebel Lemon, who, until the day she decides to explore her building's basement, had no bigger worries than homework and boys. Now, Jezebel and Tommy must thwart the Dead Gentleman, a legendary villain whose last unconquered world is our own planet Earth, a realm where the dead stay dead. Until now. Can two kids put an end to this ancient evil and his legions of Gravewalkers?

Apple ships thousands of donated iPads to America's poorest schoolsApple has been collecting original iPad models donated by iPad 2 buyers in a program supporting Teach for America, which trains college graduates to handle the job of teaching in the nation's poorest schools.
According to a report by Phillip Elmer-Dewitt writing for Fortune, more than 9,000 members of the Teach for America corps were each offered refurbished iPads.
The program asked new teachers in an email, "What could an iPad do for your classroom and your students? Well, we're asking you to help us answer this question."
Apple has been distributing the new hardware over the past two weekends. The report cited Katie Remington, a new teacher running the science department in an inner-city St. Louis school, as having received a like-new refurbished model.
After her first day with the new device Remington wrote, "So far, I've figured out it can make them finish their work fast for 'iPad time.'"
Steve Jobs' wife Laurene Powell sits on the board of directors of the Teach for America program. The program targets 15 million American children who live in poverty, working to deliver an excellent education for disadvantaged kids.
The program helps pay for students' relocation costs and student loans in exchange for a two year commitment to work in under-resourced urban and rural public school.

text: Mitek Systems Another stock in the technology complex that's trading within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Mitek Systems ( MITK), which is engaged in the development, sale and service of software solutions related to mobile imaging applications and intelligent recognition software. This stock has been hammered by the bears so far in 2012, with shares down by over 35%. If you take a look at the chart for Mitek Systems, you'll see that this stock recently failed to trigger a breakout above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.38 to $4.75 a share. After failing to take those levels out, the stock sold off hard and took out its 50-day moving average. Following that move, shares of Mitek Systems found some buying interest at around $2.72 a share, and then ripped back above its 50-day moving average with heavy volume. Now the stock has started to take out $4.38 a share, and it's quickly setting up to clear $4.75 a share. >>10 Top-Rated Tech Stocks Paying Big Dividends Market players should now look for long-biased traders in MITK if this stock can manage to trigger a breakout trade above some overhead resistance levels at $4.75 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $4.75 with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 918,274 shares. If we get that action soon, then MITK will have a great chance of filling a previous gap that send the stock down from over $6 to under $3 a share. Some upside targets are $6.30 to possibly even its 200-day moving average of $7.08 a share. You can look to buy MITK off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop somewhere around $4 a share. A better way to play this is to buy off strength once MITK takes out $4.75 with high volume. Place a stop just below $4.38 a share if you buy MITK off strength. Prev 2 of 6 Next

Police: Vermont murder suspect diesAugust 26,2013BURLINGTON Police say a Vermont man charged with first-degree murder in an elderly womans death has apparently died of natural causes at a hospital.
Vermont State Police said 76-year-old Carlton Bickford of Glover died overnight Friday while at Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday to determine the cause of death.
Lyndonville police said last month that Bickford told them he killed 72-year-old Rachel Coburn of Barton.
Coburn was found dead at her home from a gunshot wound. Lyndonville police said the two argued, Bickford left, got a shotgun and shells, and returned to the home, then argued with her again before shooting her. Police said he then tried to take his own life, but suffered only a grazing injury to his shoulder.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

Thanks for checking out my QRZ.com bio! I started down this long, addictive path called Amateur Radio at the age of 13 when my father gave me a CB radio for my birthday. My older and more technically savvy brother (Dennis KA3AND, later KY7HVH, SK) began telling me of something called "Ham Radio", and suddenly I wanted much more than my Radio Shack Mini-23 could give me! The following year found me sitting in front of a stern-faced examiner at the Federal Building in Baltimore, Maryland taking my first Amateur Radio exam. For a while I was very active, then I discovered girls, and cars, and college, and work, and marriage, and kids, and divorce, and remarriage, and they all conspired against an active ham career! Throughout that time, though, I never let my license lapse or lost the passion for Amateur Radio (I stayed somewhat active on 2 meter FM). Around 2000 I picked up an old Tempo One HF radio and a trap vertical and rediscovered the "magic"! I've not looked back since.
My current station consists of a Yaesu FT-920 and a TenTec Omni VI Plus, with an Ameritron AL-80A amplifier feeding RF to a Mosley CL-33 for 10-15-20 meters, a rotatable dipole for 12 and 17 meters, a Hustler 6BTV vertical for 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 meters, and a GAP Voyager for 40, 80 and 160 meters. Six meter operation is accomplished using the FT-920 and a Diamond DP-GH62. For VHF and UHF FM I use a Yaesu FT-8900R with a Diamond V-2000 antenna. (I am also on 60 meters using a MonoGAP antenna, which has so far been very impressive!) In November 2014 I had the privilege of operating my station as W1AW/4 representing Florida as part of the ARRL Centennial Worked All States operation.
When not on the air I serve as an ARRL VE and have been known to help teach some Technician classes. I am an Assistant Section Manager for the ARRL Southern Florida Section, the current Vice President and immediate past President of the Vero Beach Amateur Radio Club, and a past ARES EC for Indian River County, FL. Oh, and somehow in all that I find time to pursue gainful employment... :^)
I occasionally operate some HF digital modes. My original intent was to operate on digital long enough to get the ARRL Triple Play Award (which I did accomplish), but I discovered that I enjoy the various modes enough to keep using them. I primarily use RTTY, JT65 and JT9, and have earned WAS on each mode.
For those who may need them, some of my membership numbers are: QCWA: 32076; OMISS: 4211; 3905CC: 40m-2081 75m-2352; 10-10: 72779; FISTS: 13027; NAQCC: 4229; SKCC: 3639; 30MDG: 3884; EPC: 18751; DMC: 05762. I am a Life Member of ARRL, QCWA and INDEXA, a member of the Florida Contest Group and the Florida East Coast DX Club, and actively support several other Amateur Radio organizations. I hold 8BDXCC, 8BWAC, DXCC Challenge, WAZ, WPX Mixed (Honor Roll), CQ DX SSB, Triple Play #763, WAS Phone-CW-Digital, 5BWAS (all on Phone), 50 MHz VUCC, and the IARU Region 1, 2 and 3 Awards, plus the ARRL Diamond DXCC Award. Recently I also received the ARRL Centennial Points Top Level Challenge Award and the Centennial W1AW WAS Award.
I wholeheartedly endorse the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. If you are unfamiliar with it, please take a moment to click on the link below.
See you on the bands!

Reviews of RITC 729 Focus I (24)
+ Add a Review for RITC 729 Focus I.
I brought it because of the reviews... But it is slower than what I expected. Control is good but the throw angle is quite low. We have to adjust to that. Overall good for a control minded player. Chops and pushes are good. Blocking is great. Topspins need more effort especially with the plastic ball. I don't think any of the reviews here were written after they started using the plastic ball...
Super fast rubber. Not for a beginner. I switched to a more all around rubber and performed a lot better than I did with this rubber. Now that I am more experienced, I am looking at getting a faster rubber.
great rubber, for all round with max sponge, everything can be played.. it has great control, best thing is that you can create strong serves...
We put this rubber on both sides of a Joola Carbon Pro preassembled racket of a friend of mine (the racket originally came w. 4you rubbers) There was an immediate improvement in his game. His pushes came back just shaving the net like never before his blocking became very controlled. I had to try it myself. Control is amazing, spin is very good, a bit slow but very good rubber indeed.
its very nice ruber for anyone, the only problem is speed but if u have long swing u can create solid speed for long game. . . its for spiny loops, bloks are controled, short game, chops
Compared to Sriver and Cream Transcend, this one is slower but spinnier. I can make my shots land more precisely. The rubber is very forgiving, meaning you can swing differently and the shots will still go out pretty much the same way. Because this rubber is good at spinning and control (but not speed), I can initiate third-ball attack by looping or chopping easily. However, into the fifth ball I feel it lacks speed / aggressiveness.
afters years of using Butterfly Sriver, I changed to 729 Cream Transcend (a slightly better rubber in most areas, at significantly lower price). Then based on other reviews I decided to give Focus 1 a try. I would say this one is much less aggressive compared to Cream Transcend or Sriver. If you are developing techniques or need a very controllable rubber this might work for you. But if you have used Cream Transcend or Sriver and need more attacking power (faster spinnier loops) then this is NOT for you.
this rubber has a very soft feel and allows pretty big margin of error (as in you can hit the ball with slightly different strokes and it still goes out pretty much the same way). pretty spinny but a little slow on speed. i would recommend this to players looking for defensive plays. comparable to sriver el.

Let's face it, rebels are a pain in the ass even though we love them in movies and the like because they don't take things at face value, and when it comes to our spiritual journeys neither should we.
In Rebel Buddha, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche follows in the footsteps of the original teachings of the Buddha by encouraging the reader to eschew that which doesn't make sense, even that which exists within a cultural context, and he does it without devaluing his or other cultures. Pointing out that the historical Buddha was himself a cultural and spiritual rebel, the book connects past to the present by comparing the Buddha to more contemporary cultural and spiritual rebels like Martin Luther King, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Nelson Mandela to name a few.
Rebel Buddha presents Buddhist philosophy and thought in contemporary terms and language, making it more palatable for a Western audience, especially for the digital generation, by taking Buddhism out of the trappings of culture and placing it into 21st century Western context, with a specific section addressing Buddhism in the States.
Written in a playful yet direct style, Rebel Buddha is one of the more important Buddhist teaching books to come out in a while, and will definitely be on my "best of" list for this year. From Shambhala Publications and available from your local, independent bookseller. (Shop local, shop independent, and tell 'em you saw it on Elephant Journal!)

|Berkhamsted & Tring Gazette and the free doorstep delivered Herald Express
The Hemel Hempstead Gazette[2] is the local paper for the Hemel Hempstead area in the United Kingdom.[3][4]
It was first published in 1858 as The Hemel Hempstead Gazette and West Herts Advertiser, this was renamed in 1899 as The Hertfordshire, Hemel Hempstead Gazette and West Herts Advertiser and it was published under this title until 1973.
From 1973 it was known simply as the Hemel Hempstead Gazette, and from 1991 as The Gazette.[5]
The paper has generated two siblings, the Berkhamsted & Tring Gazette and the free doorstep delivered Herald Express, all of which come from the same offices.[3]
Publication, production and ownership[edit]
Both geographic editions of The Gazette appear on Wednesdays.[3]
The Gazette's online presence is known as "hemeltoday",[2] with archives going back to 1990. In 2009 two additional websites were created to complement the Berkhamsted[6] and Tring editions.[7]
About 10 people work in the editorial department which is the central hub of the business's operation.
It is based at Newspaper House, 39 Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP1 1LH.

Fran Drescher
- Birthday
- Sep 30, 1957
- Birthplace
- Flushing, New York, USA
With long, shapely legs, a svelte, curvaceous body to die for, and thick black hair cascading around her lovely face, Fran Drescher has all the looks of a sophisticated movie star. And then she opens her mouth. Out comes a crow-like cacophony of nasal sounds made more grating by a thick Queens accent and a tendency to pull no punches. The paradox… More Bio:
With long, shapely legs, a svelte, curvaceous body to die for, and thick black hair cascading around her lovely face, Fran Drescher has all the looks of a sophisticated movie star. And then she opens her mouth. Out comes a crow-like cacophony of nasal sounds made more grating by a thick Queens accent and a tendency to pull no punches. The paradox between the book and its cover is what has made Drescher a rich and popular comedienne; her long-running sitcom The Nanny, with its combination of romantic and slapstick comedy, led many to hail her as Lucille Ball's successor. Though she capitalizes on playing a rather ditzy working-class gal from Flushing, Drescher is known for her creativity and shrewdness. In addition to acting, she is a talented writer and producer.
Much of Drescher's comedy, especially that from her sitcom, is drawn from her life experiences. Like her character, Fran Fine, she was born and raised in Queens. She has had a lifelong interest in acting and studied drama in high school. She attended a year at Queens College and then attended cosmetology school to become a hairdresser. For a time, she had her own business. She made her film debut playing Connie in Saturday Night Fever (1977). Her next film, American Hot Wax (1978), provided Drescher with her first major role and though she would continue on to play supporting parts in numerous other films, it was not until she played a small but memorable part in Rob Reiner's hilarious mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984) that she began making a name for herself. In addition to her film roles, she was also busy on television, guest starring in series and appearing in television films like Terror in the Towers. She played starring roles in three short-lived series, including Princesses. She and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson created The Nanny and it aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999. She not only starred in the show, but also wrote and produced it; Drescher received Emmy nominations for her work on the show. In 1996, she co-starred with Robin Williams in the Disney comedy Jack, while in 1997, she and Jacobson co-created the idea for the romantic comedy The Beautician and the Beast, in which she also starred. Drescher published her autobiography, Enter Whining, in 1996.
Drescher once again drew from her life experiences in the 2002 memoir Cancer Schmancer, which chronicled the actress's battle with uterine cancer, and formed the Cancer Schmancer Movement in 2007. The nonprofit is dedicated to educating women about cancer prevention and the importance of early detection (Drescher's cancer was initially misdiagnosed). In 2011, Drescher appeared on Oprah Winfrey to discuss her relationship with her then ex-husband Peter Mark Jacobson after he came out as gay after the end of their 21-year marriage. The television series Happily Divorced (2011-2013) is based on her experience with Jacobson.

ITT Corporation hopes its customers are pumped, moved, and energized about its products. A diversified manufacturer, ITT makes a range of industrial products through four operating segments: industrial process (pumping systems though Goulds Pumps, valves, and services for oil and gas and chemical companies); motion technologies (brake pads and friction materials for transportation markets); interconnect solutions (ICS, connectors for fiber optic, RF, power, and other electronic products); and control technologies (hydraulic valves, actuators, and switches for aerospace companies).
Geographic Reach
ITT does about 35% of its business in the US, but it operates through 150 locations in 35 countries and generates sales in 125 countries.
The industrial process segment's diversified customer base -- ranging from individual end users to large multinational companies -- includes such markets as oil and gas, mining, power generation, and chemicals. Offering aftermarket services, the segment operates eight Pump Repair and Overhaul outlets in the US, as well as facilities in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, and Venezuela. Industrial process also provides services for plant optimization and efficiency improvement. The segment accounts for about 45% of sales.
Motion technologies, accounting for 31% of sales, serves the automotive, truck, trailer, bus, and rail sectors. Customers include Shanghai General Motors and Daimler-owned Mercedes in China. Aftermarket sales are also an important element of this segment's business. The segment is itself divided into two businesses, Friction Technologies (brake pads) and KONI (shock absorbers and damping equipment).
Interconnect Solutions (ICS), 13% of sales, serves the aerospace, industrial, defense, and oil & gas markets with products that allow the transfer of signal and power in electronic devices. Brands include Cannon, VEAM, and BIW. The products are focused primarily on two applications, harsh environments and telecom, computer, and consumer technologies. The company's smallest segment, control technologies, (11% of sales), supplies the military and industrial markets, as well as aerospace, with fluid handling, motion control, and shock isolation products.
Sales and MarketingThe company sells a broad mix of products through a network of more than 750 distributors, agents, and value-added resellers. Marketed channels include direct, commissioned representation, and buy-resell distributors.
Financial Performance
The company's revenues fell 6% from $2.65 billion in 2014 to $2.49 billion in 2015. The drop in revenue was fueled by decreases across most of its segments, including connectors equipment (16%), CT industrial products (22%), shock absorber equipment (9%), and pump support services (9%).
Industrial process segment revenue decreased due to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and lower organic revenue reflecting the challenging oil and gas and industrial market conditions which have impacted customers' capital spending levels and led to project delays in 2015. Interconnect solutions segment revenue decreased due to unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts and organic revenue, reflecting a decline in the transportation and industrial markets primarily due to weak demand in the heavy vehicle and industrial markets during 2015.
ITT's profits almost doubled from $185 million in 2014 to $352 million in 2015. The significant rise was due to changes in asbestos-related (benefit) costs and additional tax benefits, principally related to the settlement of a US income tax audit. ITT's operating cash flow decreased by 6% from 2014 to 2015, mainly due to changes in working capital as a result of fluctuations in inventories and accrued expenses.
ITT's six-pronged growth strategy is focused on improving the customer experience, investing in technology and research and development, expanding in growth markets, growing aftermarket sales, expanding margin through operations improvements, and using capital to grow organically and inorganically. To improve customer relationships the company uses the Value-Based Commercial Excellence (VBCE) process, which is used to price products and help customers resolve challenges. Most of ITT's products are made to withstand harsh conditions.
Mergers and Acquisitions
The company adds additional revenue to its balance sheet through the use of acquisitions. In 2015 it bought Hartzell Aerospace for a purchase price of $53 million. Hartzell is a designer and manufacturer of products to support aerospace applications and is now included as part of ITT's control technologies segment. Augmenting its motion technologies segment, the company also in 2015 completed the acquisition of Wolverine Automotive Holdings Inc., the parent company of Wolverine Advanced Materials LLC, for $298 million.

MORE DOWNSIDE MOMENTUM: WATCH THE U.S. DOLLAR. SHORT BMI; LONG DTO (DOUBLE SHORT OIL ETF) 0 commentsAug 3, 2012 12:27 AM
Ok: short and simple. Momentum is still down. Mario Draghi is a paper tiger: all hot air and bravado; another European gasbag. He can't buy bonds. It's against German law for Merkel to agree with bond buying. Even if he could buy bonds, like Bernanke did, this solves nothing. It merely adds debt to a mountain of debt -- and debt IS the problem. The high cost of Spanish debt is a way the market says Spain has too much debt-risk. Having EU citizens now buy overpriced Spanish debt resolves nothing, it only adds more risk to the system, while pretending to buy more time, until that miracle 'growth' component arrives to stimulate the economies of the world so they can grow their way out of debt. However, DEBT IS ANTI-GROWTH. Debt must be destroyed, on a grand scale, on the same grand scale that debt was assumed, before growth can return.
Only deflation and debt struction (Austrian Austerity) solves the problem. Higher interest rates help solve the problem -- Austerity hurts, yes. We all enjoyed the party. We didn't pay for the party with our own money. That was the mistake. We borrowed 'future-money' to pay for the party. What hurts is that we now have to pay back our creditors, or default on the loads -- and this at a time when the global economy is hurtling into a black hole.
Austerity is the pain. This pain is the cure. The Crisis cannot be fixed by some monetary hocus-pocus. It can't be wished away. In this case, as Jim Morrison wrote and sang so explicitly thirty years ago: "You cannot petition the Lord with prayer". Denial is not going to work.
The EU Crisis, like bank deregulation, was a bad idea, based in and colored by human greed. The only solution to the EU Crisis is the abandonment of the EU and the Euro, and a return to separate national currencies. One currency cannot serve many economies and many peoples without creating imbalances that surface during economic contractions. Such economic contractions ARE NOT abberations. They happen like clockwork: every 36 years a contraction starts and lasts for 18 years. Debts don't seem to matter as long as the economy is expanding and inflation is expanding incomes and asset prices. But debts do matter -- I'm speaking mainly of PRIVATE DEBT, the kind that makes the banks so rich, at first, and then, after the contraction starts, makes these banks and bankers the great white whale in the room no one wants to mention.
If ALL the EU countries are willing to sacrifice their sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, so they can keep their attachment to the Euro, then they might be able to solve this EU Crisis. Of course, this solution creates the next political crisis, as EU citizens realize they have given up their soverign democracies for the sake of easier accounting and loftier trade principles and freedom of travel.
Once countries start willingly leaving the EU (the surplus nations I mean, Finland, maybe Germany also), then the EU is finished. The great divorce will gain speed and mometum quickly. As fast as the Soviet Union fell apart, so to will the EU break apart, another arbitrary collection of misalligned parts pulled together by good intentions.
The markets have further selling ahead. Although you will note we do have some short-term buy signals below in our M2F Alt trading system -- so there could be a bounce for some stocks. We also closed some of our short positions in Facebook last night.
Here are our three internnal momentum charts:
Keep an eye on the US Dollar. The attached updated chart shows the relationship (Inverse) between the Dollar and the SPX (S & P 500 Index, GSPC). When our M2F Alt indicator (second pane down, gray line) bottoms for the USDEUR stocks top. This seems to be indicating we will have more selling for the next few days.
Support is at 1329.24 on the SPX. If this breaks, then the generally positive short-term up-channel of the SPX breaks, portending an end to the rally.
Momentum is down; but we are getting trading buy signals from our short-term M2F Alt Trading System. We might get a bounce up in some stocks over the next few days.
We still like short trades over long trades today and we would choose the shortsale of BMI and the long trade of DTO (Double Short Oil ETF) as our two most attractive new positions today.

At one point they've taken their tops and bottoms off, running around on the street! The risk is extreme, so its time to leave and go back home for some real intimacy. First teasing each other, then getting more intimate on the countertop, they go down on each other, fingering and tasting, till they are both satisfied. Next day, they put on some very sexy dresses & heels, looking like the hottest naked girls in Waikiki. They visit some of the most popular hotels on the beach, and flash literally everywhere. Some crazy upskirt moments with tons of people in the background and getting caught occasionally! Even when they take a lunch break at a very busy Japanese restaurant, they get explicit again!!
