The City With the Big Ego
It makes some sense to treat Jerusalem as though it were a person.
We've had the biographies of planets, TV series, species of fish and the Bible. But in the case of Simon Sebag Montefiore's "Jerusalem: The Biography," the subtitle is more than just a marketing gimmick. Jerusalem has a life of its own, and in describing the city's long and complicated history, the author shows why Jerusalem can, even ought, be understood as a living organism.
All cities are accretions of natural matter, layers of rock and soil, of crumbled man-made artifacts with later strata of newer plants and buildings. But Jerusalem is bursting at its seams with history.
Consider the vertical increments of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which has, over time, been the site of a temple to Aphrodite, of Golgotha, of Jesus' tomb and the home of the True Cross. It was destroyed in 1009 by the Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim, reconstructed by the Byzantines with Muslim agreement in 1048, taken by the knights of the First Crusade in 1099, lost again to Saladin in 1187, regained by Frederick II in the 13th century, subjected to a Khwarezmian interlude in 1244, and renovated by the Franciscans in 1555. The Christian sects began to squabble among themselves, which they continue to do to the present day, and in 1767 the Sublime Porte issued a firman dividing the church among the disputants.
Neither fire (614) nor razing (1009), nor the end of the Ottoman Empire, nor the establishment of the state of Israel and its subsequent wars, have made much difference to the wrangling of Church's Christian custodians. These include the Eastern Orthodox Church, of which the Greeks have the biggest share; the Armenian Apostolic and Roman Catholic churches, and the Ethiopian and Syriac Orthodox churches. Each sect occupies separate positions inside the Holy Sepulcher's complex of buildings, with the Ethiopians and their monastery awkwardly perched on its roof.
At night they are all locked in, with scant regard for toilet facilities among some disadvantaged sects, and none of them has the key. Since the Covenant of Omar in 637, some of Jerusalem's prominent and powerful Muslim families have dealt with this: The Judeh family keeps the key, and twice a day brings it to a member of the Nusseibeh family, who locks and unlocks the door. The most recent clerical riots there took place in 2008.
Jerusalem: The Biography
By Simon Sebag Montefiore
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 654pages, £25
Or look at the horizontal developments of the Temple Mount—"Har HaBayit" in Hebrew, "Haram al-Sharif" in Arabic, and the Biblical Mount Moriah. Here once stood the Jewish Temple of Solomon (and Herod's extension), but there's nothing left of it now but the Western Wall, the supporting wall of the 35-acre esplanade housing Islam's Dome of the Rock and Aqsa Mosque shrines. Even now some orthodox Jews are not allowed by their own religious authorities to set foot on the Temple Mount for fear of accidentally stepping on the site of the Holy of Holies. The Israeli government bans even the secular Jewish majority from praying there to avoid frictions with the Muslim community.
Literalist Jews and Muslims alike locate some of their most important myths here—for example, Abraham's aborted sacrifice of Isaac, and Muhammad's Night Journey from the Kaaba in Mecca on Buraq, his winged horse with a human face. Much blood has been shed over the millennia about the ownership of this plot of land.
You can see why, though it is only a place—a bit of real estate, small, crowded, and often not very clean (the rubbish-strewn Stations of the Cross are a particular disgrace)—it makes some sense to treat Jerusalem as though it were a person. You could almost psychoanalyze the city. The "Jerusalem Madness" or "Jerusalem Syndrome"—in which visitors delude themselves that they are the Messiah—has earned its own treatment facility, the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Centre. Tour guides are provided with a checklist of seven symptoms to look out for in their clients. The city's ego is huge and for many it remains the center of the world as well as the site of the apocalypse. Every empire has sought to possess it.
Mr. Montefiore has a stake in the well-being of Jerusalem, as he is a descendent of the great early Zionist—the "plutocrat and Jewish philanthropist," Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1865), who visited the holy city seven times and, in 1860, was the first to build outside the Old City. He was a Sephardic Orthodox Jew and, in 1812, married Judith Cohen, sister-in-law of Mayer Rothschild, who became his business partner. This cemented some major alliances among British upper-class Jewry that would become very important in persuading Arthur Balfour to make his 1917 declaration "of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations," which ultimately became the political basis for the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.
In his book, Mr. Montefiore is excellent on the origins of this document, and the curious mixture of anti-Semitism and philo-Semitism exhibited by the British ruling class. He constantly reminds the reader that there was a weird religious motivation for much of this: the Christian belief that Jesus would not reappear until the Jews were restored to Jerusalem and had rebuilt the Temple and reinstituted the practice of sacrifice. Thus, "to accelerate the Second Coming was practically British Government policy," Mr. Montefiore writes.
If the Palestinians have received as little attention as the Biblical Hebrews in this review it is not because Mr. Montefiore ignores them or in any way minimizes their cause, but because the notion of a Palestinian identity is a recent phenomenon and the history of Arabs in Jerusalem is checkered and intertwined with Muslims of Turkic origins, who were historically often in the ascendancy.
I wish that Mr. Montefiore had expanded his book a little (some of his most interesting bits are relegated to footnotes), and told us something about the origins of the synagogue and of monasticism, which is essential to the story of Jerusalem, but clearly a non-Jewish phenomenon. But that would have made this superb book even bulkier, and as every biographer knows, every subject can only handle so much history.
Mr. Levy writes on the arts for the Journal and is a writer based in Oxfordshire, England.

NONEQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL PHYSICS TODAY: Proceedings of the 11th Granada Seminar on Computational and Statistical Physics

EDITORS' PREFACE1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569484View Description Hide Description
Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics today. Where shall we go from here?1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569485View Description Hide Description
Three lectures: NEMD, SPAM, and shockwaves1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569486View Description Hide Description
We discuss three related subjects well suited to graduate research. The first, Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics or "NEMD", makes possible the simulation of atomistic systems driven by external fields, subject to dynamic constraints, and thermostated so as to yield stationary nonequilibrium states. The second subject, Smooth Particle Applied Mechanics or "SPAM", provides a particle method, resembling molecular dynamics, but designed to solve continuum problems. The numerical work is simplified because the SPAM particles obey ordinary, rather than partial, differential equations. The interpolation method used with SPAM is a powerful interpretive tool converting point particle variables to twice‐differentiable field variables. This interpolation method is vital to the study and understanding of the third research topic we discuss, strong shockwaves in dense fluids. Such shockwaves exhibit stationary far‐from‐equilibrium states obtained with purely reversible Hamiltonian mechanics. The SPAM interpolation method, applied to this molecular dynamics problem, clearly demonstrates both the tensor character of kinetic temperature and the time‐delayed response of stress and heat flux to the strain rate and temperature gradients. The dynamic Lyapunov instability of the shockwave problem can be analyzed in a variety of ways, both with and without symmetry in time. These three subjects suggest many topics suitable for graduate research in nonlinear nonequilibrium problems.
Stochastic thermodynamics: An introduction1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569487View Description Hide Description
These seminar notes contain a brief introduction into the principles of stochastic thermodynamics and some of its recent ramifications from a personal perspective. Thermodynamic concepts like work, exchanged heat and entropy production can consistently be defined on the level of individual fluctuating trajectories taken from either a time‐dependent or a non‐equilibrium steady state ensemble. Fluctuation theorems constrain the probability distributions for these thermody‐namic quantities. For systems containing fast internal degrees of freedom the crucial distinction between internal and free energy for a correct identification of both dissipated heat and system entropy is emphasized. For non‐equilibrium steady states, a generalized fluctuation‐dissipation theorem relates the response to a small perturbation to correlation functions in the steady state involving observables expressing the various contributions to entropy production along the trajectory.
Hydrodynamics from dynamical non‐equilibrium MD1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569488View Description Hide Description
We review a dynamical approach to non‐equilibrium MD (D‐NEMD). We show how, using a proper simulation setup, is possible to treat interesting cases in which the initial condition is a stationary non‐equilibrium state produced by a suitable dynamical system. We then extend the class of non‐equilibrium phenomena that can be studied by atomistic simulations to the case of complex initial conditions consisting in assigning a macroscopic value of a scalar or vector observable or a field. We illustrate the functioning of this method by applying it to the relaxation of an interface between two immiscible liquids. We have shown that our method generate unbiased results while this might not be the case for the often used short time average approach.
Recent progress in fluctuation theorems and free energy recovery1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569489View Description Hide Description
In this note we review recent progress about fluctuation relations and their applicability to free energy recovery in single molecule experiments. We underline the importance of the operational definition for the mechanical work and the non‐invariance of fluctuation relations under Galilean transformations, both aspects currently amenable to experimental test. Finally we describe a generalization of the Crooks fluctuation relation useful to recover free energies of partially equilibrated states and thermodynamic branches.
Universality in equilibrium and away from it: A personal perspective1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569490View Description Hide Description
In this talk/paper I discuss the concept of universality in phase transitions and the question of whether universality classes are more robust in equilibrium than away from it. In both of these situations, the main ingredients determining universality are symmetries, conservation laws, the dimension of the space and of the order‐parameter and the presence of long‐range interactions or quenched disorder. The existence of detailed‐balance and fluctuation‐dissipation theorems imposes severe constraints on equilibrium systems, allowing to define universality classes in a very robust way; instead, non‐equilibrium allows for more variability. Still, quite robust non‐equilibrium universality classes have been identified in the last decades. Here, I discuss some examples in which (i) non‐equilibrium phase transitions are simply controlled by equilibrium critical points, i.e. non‐equilibrium ingredients turn out to be irrelevant in the renormalization group sense and (ii) non‐equilibrium situations in which equilibrium seems to come out of the blue, generating an adequate effective description of intrinsically non‐equilibrium problems. Afterwards, I shall describe different genuinely non‐equilibrium phase transitions in which introducing small, apparently innocuous changes (namely: presence or absence of an underlying lattice, parity conservation in the overall number of particles, existence of an un‐accessible vacuum state, deterministic versus stochastic microscopic rules, presence or absence of a Fermionic constraint), the critical behavior is altered, making the case for lack of robustness. However, it will be argued that in all these examples, there is an underlying good reason (in terms of general principles) for universality to be altered. The final conclusions are that: (i) robust universality classes exist both in equilibrium and non‐equilibrium; (ii) symmetry and conservation principles are crucial in both, (iii) non‐equilibrium allows for more variability (i.e. it is less constrained).
Fourier law, phase transitions, and the Stefan problem1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569491View Description Hide Description
When hydrodynamic or thermodynamic limits are performed in systems which are in the phase transitions regime we may observe perfectly smooth profiles develop singularities with the appearance of sharp interfaces. I will discuss the phenomenon in stationary non equilibrium states which carry non zero steady currents. The general context is the one where the Fourier law applies, but here it is complemented by a free boundary problem due to the presence of interfaces.
I will specifically consider an Ising system with Kac potentials which evolves under the stochastic Kawasaki dynamics. In a continuum limit the evolution is described by an integro‐differential equation, as proved by Giacomin and Lebowitz in [2], see also [3]. I will then study its stationary solutions with a non zero current (produced by suitable boundary conditions) and derive, in the infinite volume limit, macroscopic profiles with an interface proving that the profiles satisfy a stationary Stefan problem and obey the Fourier law.
Bringing thermodynamics to non‐equilibrium microscopic processes1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569492View Description Hide Description
We present recent developments that extend the applicability of thermodynamic concepts deep into mesoscopic and irreversible regimes. We show how a probabilistic interpretation of thermodynamics together with probability conservation laws can be used to obtain Fokker‐Planck equations for the relevant degrees of freedom. This approach provides a systematic method to obtain the stochastic dynamics of a system directly from the knowledge of its equilibrium properties. A wide variety of situations can be studied in this way, including many that were thought to be out of reach of thermodynamic theories, such as non‐linear transport in the presence of potential barriers, activated processes, slow relaxation phenomena, and basic processes in biomolecules, like translocation and stretching.
Noise‐induced transitions vs. noise‐induced phase transitions1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569493View Description Hide Description
I will briefly review the field of noise‐induced phase transitions, emphasizing the main differences with the phase‐induced transitions and showing that they appear in different systems. I will show that a noise‐induced transition can disappear after a suitable change of variables and I will also discuss the breaking of ergodicity and symmetry breaking that occur in noise‐induced phase transitions in the thermodynamic limit, but not in noise‐induced transitions.
On the approach to thermal equilibrium of macroscopic quantum systems1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569494View Description Hide Description
In joint work with J. L. Lebowitz, C. Mastrodonato, and N. Zanghì [2, 3, 4], we considered an isolated, macroscopic quantum system. Let H be a micro‐canonical "energy shell," i.e., a subspace of the system's Hilbert space spanned by the (finitely) many energy eigenstates with energies between E and The thermal equilibrium macro‐state at energy E corresponds to a subspace of H such that is close to 1. We say that a system with state vector ψ ε H is in thermal equilibrium if ψ is "close" to We argue that for "typical" Hamiltonians, all initial state vectors evolve in such a way that is in thermal equilibrium for most times t. This is closely related to von Neumann's quantum ergodic theorem of 1929.
Temperature, entropy and second law beyond local equilibrium: An illustration1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569495View Description Hide Description
Local‐equilibrium thermodynamics applies to local scale the concepts and methods of equilibrium thermodynamics concerning the meaning of entropy, temperature and equations of state. However, when going beyond local equilibrium, the basic problems avoided by local equilibrium hypothesis arise: how temperature and entropy are defined, how second law is formulated, how macroscopic theory is related to microscopic formulations. Here, we illustrate these topics with phonon hydrodynamics as a model for the description of heat transfer in nanosystems and its corresponding non‐equilibrium thermodynamic potentials, and discuss the limits for the existence of non‐equilibrium thermodynamic potentials in general situations.
Griffiths phases in the contact process on complex networks1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569496View Description Hide Description
Dynamical processes occurring on top of complex networks have become an exciting area of research. Quenched disorder plays a relevant role in general dynamical processes and phase transitions, but the effect of topological quenched disorder on the dynamics of complex networks has not been systematically studied so far. Here, we provide heuristic and numerical analyses of the contact process defined on some complex networks with topological disorder. We report on Griffiths phases and other rare region effects, leading rather generically to anomalously slow relaxation in generalized small‐world networks. In particular, it is illustrated that Griffiths phases can emerge as the consequence of pure topological heterogeneity if the topological dimension of the network is finite.
Stationary points approach to thermodynamic phase transitions1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569497View Description Hide Description
Nonanalyticities of thermodynamic functions are studied by adopting an approach based on stationary points of the potential energy. For finite systems, each stationary point is found to cause a nonanalyticity in the microcanonical entropy, and the functional form of this nonanalytic term is derived explicitly. With increasing system size, the order of the nonanalytic term grows, leading to an increasing differentiability of the entropy. It is found that only "asymptotically flat" stationary points may cause a nonanalyticity that survives in the thermodynamic limit, and this property is used to derive an analytic criterion establishing the existence or absence of phase transitions. We sketch how this result can be employed to analytically compute transition energies of classical spin models.
Energy bursts in vibrated shallow granular systems1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569498View Description Hide Description
In a mixture of two species of inelastic spheres of equal size but different mass, placed in a vertically vibrated shallow box (large horizontal dimensions and height comparable to the grains' size), there is spontaneous segregation. Once the system is at least partly segregated energy bursts recurrently take place: the horizontal kinetic energy of the heavy particles, that normally is small, suddenly increases an order of magnitude. An explanation of these events is provided based on the existence of a fixed point for an isolated particle bouncing with only vertical motion between the top and bottom plates. Energy bursts occur when clusters of heavy particles start a chain reaction of collisions that transfer vertical energy to horizontal energy producing an expansion of the cluster.
Layering and wetting transitions for an interface model1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569499View Description Hide Description
We study the solid‐on‐solid interface model above a horizontal wall in three dimensional space, with an attractive interaction when the interface is in contact with the wall, at low temperatures. The system presents a sequence of layering transitions, whose levels increase with the temperature, before the complete wetting above a certain value of this quantity.
On the role of Galilean invariance in KPZ1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569500View Description Hide Description
Starting from a variational formulation of the Kardar‐Parisi‐Zhang (KPZ) equation, we point out some strong constraints and consistency tests, to be fulfilled by real‐space discretization schemes. In the light of these findings, the mainstream opinion on the relevance of Galilean invariance and the fluctuation—dissipation theorem (peculiar of 1D) is challenged.
Anomalous diffusion and basic theorems of statistical mechanics1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569501View Description Hide Description
Recent works call attention that basic concepts in statistical mechanics are still under discussion. In particular, we have shown that some of those concepts can be discussed in a direct and analytical way in diffusion.
Large deviations of the current in a two‐dimensional diffusive system1332(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3569502View Description Hide Description
In this notes we study the large deviations of the time‐averaged current in the two‐dimensional (2D) Kipnis‐Marchioro‐Presutti model of energy transport when subject to a boundary gradient. We use the tools of hydrodynamic fluctuation theory, supplemented with an appropriate generalization of the additivity principle. As compared to its one‐dimensional counterpart, which amounts to assume that the optimal profiles responsible of a given current fluctuation are time‐independent, the 2D additivity conjecture requires an extra assumption, i.e. that the optimal, divergence‐free current vector field associated to a given fluctuation of the time‐averaged current is in fact constant across the system. Within this context we show that the current distribution exhibits in general non‐Gaussian tails. The ensuing optimal density profile can be either monotone for small current fluctuations, or non‐monotone with a single maximum for large enough current deviations. Furthermore, this optimal profile remains invariant under arbitrary rotations of the current vector, providing a detailed example of the recently introduced Isometric Fluctuation Relation.

Colorado gets $2 million from marijuana taxes
Category: News | Posted on Tue, March, 11th 2014 by THCFinder
Colorado raked in about $2 million from taxes on recreational marijuana in January, the first month it was legal to sell non-medicinal pot in the state.
State officials say the numbers came in as expected.
On Jan. 1, Colorado became the first state to permit the sale of recreational marijuana to anyone age 21 or older. Cannabis purchases are limited to one ounce. It's the first place in the world where marijuana will be regulated from seed to sale.
Related: How a marijuana ad went up in smoke
Colorado places a 15% excise tax, a 10% special sales tax and a 2.9% sales tax on recreational marijuana, in addition to application and license fees. It imposes just a 2.9% sales tax, as well as application on license fees, on medical marijuana, which was legalized by voters in Colorado in 2000.
When combined with taxes and fees from medicinal marijuana, the state brought in a total of $3.5 million in January from pot sales.
The state also taxes alcohol, which brought in about $5.1 million in taxes in December, the most recent data available from the Colorado Department of Revenue.
A big chunk of the funds collected from marijuana taxes will be funneled to programs aimed at keeping kids way from pot. The governor has requested funds for the prevention of youth marijuana, for treatment of substance use, regulatory oversight, and law enforcement and public safety. To top of page

Philadelphia Council Committee Votes To Decriminalize Marijuana Possession
Category: Legalization | Posted on Tue, March, 11th 2014 by THCFinder
Philadelphia's City Council Law and Government Committee gave unanimous approval today to a proposal to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis (one ounce), reducing the charge from an arrestable misdemeanor, to a simple ticket.
There are 4,200 arrests each year in Philadelphia for cannabis possession, something which takes up over 17,000 police hours, according to Councilmember James F. Kenney, the primary sponsor of the measure.
"To me, it makes no sense", he says.
"The trend has been toward legalization," Kenney says, indicating he sees this move as a step towards broader cannabis law reform. "We just got to be sensible about how we enforce the law and treat our people."
Kenney's bill is expected to be voted on by the full council later this month.

Medical marijuana and 'the entourage effect'
Category: News | Posted on Tue, March, 11th 2014 by THCFinder
CNN) -- In the early 1960s, a young postdoctoral student stumbled onto something that puzzled him.
After reading the literature on cannabis, he was surprised to see that while the active compound in morphine had been isolated from opium poppies 100 years before and cocaine isolated from coca leaves around the same time, the active component of marijuana was still unknown.
This simple observation launched his life's work.
That young Israeli researcher, Raphael Mechoulam, is now a heavily decorated scientist, recently nominated for the prestigious Rothschild Prize. More than 50 years ago, however, he had trouble starting his scientific journey.
For starters, he needed cannabis to study and didn't know how to obtain it. Eventually, he obtained his research supply from friends in the police department. The young scientist was in a hurry, and didn't want to wait to cut through the red tape required by Israel's Health Ministry.
"Yes, I broke the law," he told me when I met with him in Tel Aviv last year, "but I apologized and explained what I was trying to do."
By 1963, he determined the structure of cannabidiol (CBD), an important component of marijuana. A year later, he became the first person to isolate delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Over the ensuing decades, Mechoulam and his team continued to isolate numerous compounds from the cannabis plant.
Their work also went a long way toward illuminating how the drug works in the brain. When Mechoulam's team identified the first known endogenous cannabinoid, a chemical actually made by the brain itself, he named it "anandamide." In the Sanskrit language, ananda means "supreme bliss," which gives us some insight into what Mechoulam thinks of cannabinoids overall.
It was halfway through our long afternoon discussion that Mechoulam, now 83, pulled out a paper he had written in 1999, describing something known as "the entourage effect."

Game Two was the Ovechkin vs. Crosby Show.
They did not disappoint, I promise.
Ask anyone who was at the sold out Verizon Center and they will tell you it was a sight to see—and they will not be wearing a cap either.
Alex Ovechkin recorded his first career playoff hat trick—and Sidney Crosby matched Ovechkin's mark with a hat trick of his own. But Crosby needed one more, as the Washington Capitals defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 Monday night.
Ovechkin now has seven playoff goals, but Crosby's hatty gives him just one more, at eight. The two dominated. Ovechkin had the slappers rolling while Sid crashed the net and kept going til the red light went off.
Despite giving up three goals and his first hat trick to an opposing player in the NHL, goaltender Simeon Varlamov made 33 saves against Pittsburgh. He was named the third star of the game.
David Steckel scored his second goal in as many games, being the only player to score who wasn't Ovie or Sid. Evgeni Malkin was held goalless yet again tonight for the fifth straight game.
Crosby was the second star—but the obvious first star choice was Alex Ovechkin.
The Caps lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, but the next two contests are in Pittsburgh, PA. Game Three is set to start at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening from Mellon Arena. The game will be broadcast on Versus.

By Ms. Jennifer M Caprioli (Drum)August 15, 2012
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- A "new" club on post is proving that two perspectives are better than one.
Recently, the Officers' Spouses Club and the Enlisted Spouses Club, both of Fort Drum, joined forces to create the Spouses' Club of Fort Drum.
For years representatives talked about combining the clubs, but the idea didn't become a reality until last year when the decision was made to do it, explained Mary Jansen, president of the new club and wife of Lt. Col. Derek Jansen, 10th Brigade Support Battalion commander.
"A lot of posts are merging clubs," she noted. "The reason we merged is because Fort Drum is so small and we were serving the same people while competing for resources."
Following the "strength in numbers" practice, the clubs have now become one.
"There's really no need for the separation since we have the same mission," Jansen said.
The purpose of the combined organization is to develop and foster a spirit of community responsibility at Fort Drum; to provide welfare, to provide opportunities for social, cultural, and creative pursuits; and to support worthwhile service and community projects.
An officer's life was not always the scene for the Jansen Family -- Jansen and her husband both spent time on the enlisted side of the house.
Jansen, who served six years in the service and has spent the past 20 years by her husband's side, boasts a wealth of knowledge when it comes to working with spouses and Families.
She noted her best qualifications to help lead the new club are her age and experience.
Jansen was approached by the OSC's former parliamentarian to be an at-large member on the board that rewrote the constitution for the now-combined enlisted and officers spouses club.
Each club originally had its own constitution, and Jansen noted it was a large undertaking to merge the two documents.
"Each club was a registered private organization on post. ESC dissolved, and we merged into the Spouses' Club of Fort Drum," Jansen explained.
The constitution contains the club's mission statement, bylaws, job descriptions and instruction on how to conduct day-to-day business.
"We didn't add anything new. We just took components of the ESC and OSC constitutions and took the best of both," Jansen said, noting it took hours to go through the constitution, word by word, making sure they were including the best elements from both constitutions.
What emerged was a 27-page document that was simplified and more user-friendly.
"We had some really good women working on the constitution," Jansen explained, noting each woman brought a variety of experience.
While tackling the mission and finishing the constitution, club members also are working on building camaraderie among the spouses.
"People will say 'us' and 'them' -- as in 'OSC' and 'ESC.' That's no longer. It's 'us,'" Jansen explained.
The OSC and ESC actually combined forces for the Christmas tree and wreath auction and the silent auction last year to "test the waters."
"It was just so much easier to split the money and split the work," Jansen said.
The money raised by the Spouses' Club of Fort Drum goes toward a scholarship fund, which awards individual scholarships to high school students as well as spouses who are going back to school. The amounts vary.
Once such scholarship, which Jansen said is special to her, is the Katherine Whittey Memorial Scholarship. It was created to honor Whittey, who was an OSC member and close friend of Jansen.
"What makes (this club) special is that we're bringing in women with loads of experience and we're combining our talents," Jansen said.
She also noted committee members are on a mission to make the club appealing to younger spouses.
"Everyone has these preconceived notions of the spouses clubs, so we just want to appeal to younger spouses, have them join and put them to work in the community," she explained.
For instance, the club will help the community by partnering with the SPCA in Watertown and asking spouses who attend a luncheon to bring an item for a pet, whether it is kitty litter, dog food or a pet toy. For those who would rather give back in a different way, club members will donate their time to the SPCA.
"We're trying to appeal to a wider base of our Families, and I think with brigades possibly deploying (soon), we need to get those spouses connected," Jansen said. "When choosing an organization to assist, the Spouses' Club of Fort Drum aims to find something for everyone to do."
Jansen said in her opinion, the combined effort was effective. Spouses' Club of Fort Drum members plan to hold the same events this winter.
The club will make its official debut appearance Aug. 25, when the members will host a Back to School Bingo event at Remington Park. Doors open at 10:30 a.m., and the event will begin at 11 a.m.
The event is open to youths in kindergarten through 6th grade, with age-specific bags for students.
Jansen explained that this "community event" is supposed to get Families revved up for the quickly approaching school year.
Parents / guardians must accompany their children, and the children must be military ID holders.
This is a free event; however, there will be food for purchase.
"This is one last thing Families can do before the kids head back to school," Jansen explained.
In May, the club will elect new board members, who will assume their positions in June. To be considered for a board member position, a spouse must be a member of the club in good standing.
Current Spouses' Club of Fort Drum members will recruit for membership during the Super Sign-up event Sept. 6 at the Commons.
"When I was working on the constitution, I became a big believer in it because you can't go wrong when you're serving military Families," Jansen said. "I think this year is going to be pivotal for the club. We have to do some teambuilding and get the word out there."
Anyone interested in joining the Spouses' Club of Fort Drum is welcome to sign up any time throughout the year. There is a $25 annual fee to join. Those who join after January are required to pay only half of the dues. Completed forms can be mailed or given to a board member.
For additional information, visit the club's website, www.fdosc.com, search for "Spouses' Club of Fort Drum" on Facebook, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

First off, great plugin. Works nicely.
I'm trying to use the "Load comments async threshold" feature but it doesn't seem to work. Any number I put causes all comments to disappear. There are no links to show the comments — they are simply just gone. Any help with this?
ALSO, is there anyway to hide/show comments or replies? I was using another plugin to do this and it worked fine, but after posting a comment it caused the entire thing to fallback and show all comments for everything on the page — I didn't like this.
Any help would be great!

TORONTO-- Kyle Calder's career season with the Chicago Blackhawks has paid off handsomely for him.
Calder, who recorded career bests of 26 goals and 59 points last
season, on Thursday was awarded a one-year, $2.95 million
contract for 2006-07 by an arbitrator.
After having his arbitration hearing on Monday, Calder more than
doubled his income thanks to a breakthrough campaign. The
27-year-old left wing made $1.311 million in 2005-06, when he
led the Blackhawks in goals, assists (33), points and
game-winning goals (six).
A fifth-round pick in 1997, Calder has appeared in 359 games
over six seasons with Chicago, recording 85 goals, 125 assists
and 184 penalty minutes.

Teaching and Assessment
Teaching and Learning
The Financial Economics MSc course is delivered through a flexible combination of lectures, seminars and computer lab sessions. Lectures introduce you to the key theories, concepts and economic models. In seminars you have the opportunity to solve applied problems, analyse case studies and make presentations of research published in leading academic journals.
The computer labs provide you with practical experience of using computer software to perform calculations and conduct realistic simulations. In addition, econometric methods are taught in lab sessions, so you have the opportunity to apply econometric software to empirical research and financial market estimations.
When appropriate, "practitioner slots" - such as research seminars conducted by external financial experts, presentations by invited academics etc. - will be incorporated into module delivery.
We also offer pre-sessional induction courses on economic analysis for students who need to build up their background in the fundamental aspects of financial economics.
Each taught module is assessed through a combination of coursework and one final examination. For most modules the coursework contributes 30% of the overall mark and the examination contributes 70%. The nature of the coursework which the lecturer assigns varies according to the module, for example essays, presentations or computer-based data analysis and calculations.
Overall assessment is based on your performance in the taught modules and a dissertation or literature survey. Students require 180 credits to pass the MSc. The weighting of each module within the overall mark is determined by the credit value assigned to that module.

Liverpool Message Board
Andy.... It's time.. (sorry)
I have nothing against the kid as a person, never did, but I never wanted him, I hated his purchase, and I never thought he'd cut it at Liverpool, especially when we'd been accustomed to some great players up top. I've always said this, even despite differences of opinion, so if nothing else, I've been consistent.
Obviously the answer is no, but I have to ask, and yes it's sarcastic, hopefully the humor will be found too... Do you still think Andy Carroll will "come good" for Liverpool?
I suppose the question is, which I personally don't, and can't imagine several others care, will he come good at WHU?
What this does do (assuming he agrees to terms and wages or we get stuck with a taller heavier Joe Cole, with more hair, who has more goals btw), is free up another 60-70K in wages, and with whatever the end fee is, will go directly back into the chest for Rodgers to spend in the summer..
And yes, Rodgers will be here in the summer. Considering we didn't add Ince, but presumably will, let's say Andy gets 15M, and FSG stump up another 20-30M, we could very well see ourselves adding one of the "ELITE" attacking players in Europe.
Table wise, and Champions League wise, we are clearly not where we want to be yet, but after spending alot in January, compared to teams above us, and bigger ones in Europe even, further money available and us building a more skilled, talented and faster squad, will improve our chances of recruiting bigger and better names.. Perhaps it's ok to dream of XYZ player until Summer comes!
Sorry Andy, perhaps a full time change in scenery and hairdo, will make him "come good" and score 30 goals..
Obviously if David Sullivan is lying, or gave the interview from the pub, I need to discard this post.

" one of the "ELITE" attacking players in Europe.
".. Thats the problem isn't it..
Other clubs could sign more than one ELITE player in Europe and we could barely afford one.. If thats the case..
Just goes to show what paupers we have as owners at LFC..
- 1 Reply to LFC_Armchair_Supporter
Maybe the math didn't add up..
15M (guestimate) on Carroll, plus his wages saved, brings around 20M.. Cole and Sahin's wages gone, another 6-8M, then another 20-30M from the Owners.. aka the "paupers"..
So, those numbers are roughly around 50M, give or take, and several world class players can be had for 20-30M.. then there are others in the 40+ range, and 50+ range.. Don't think we'll see many more of those in years to come.. So say we spend 25+ on ONE, add Ince, and add another for 15-20M, that's again roughly 50M spent.. for 3 players. Not enough I suppose?
I also suppose, us, LFC & FSG, spending 20.5M, third behind QPR 22.4M and Newcastle 20.5M, on multiple players, vs our 2, really shows what "Paupers" they are.. Even though City spent almost 0, Spurs spent 0, Chelsea spent 8M, Everton spent 3M..
Perhaps when making a comment of how many "elite" we can buy, vs other clubs, you should take into account, what other clubs already have at their disposal, while we've been rebuilding for only 1 season under a new manager..
Chelsea can afford to buy 2, because they may only need 2, same for United and City.. We need several more players, and they can't all be the "ELITE" costs because you can't build a squad for the present and future by buying just one player..
Eh, I continue to ask myself why I bother..
Anyways, goodbye Andy, I hope. (sorry to those who don't like that)..
..........Oh, and Sofa, go tell Oldham that the reason they trounced us was due to a better board, better manager, better, more expensive players and a bigger stadium. See what I´m saying??
Armchair - as ever your answer reveals a lot about your mentality, and sadly your intelligence
£200 million is not that much to spend on a footballer today? Really?? As far as I'm aware, the record is Ronaldo for £80 mil, with the economic climate that wont be broken any time soon.
Then you advocate spending 100 million on 2 players!
You totally ignored my question about how many players of £30 million + have City, Chelsea and yeah let's throw in United have signed.
The bragging rights comment is exactly what I would expect from someone who doesn't go the game. Only trophies matter, and taking the p!ss out of the blue sh!tes or Mancs doesn't give me much joy if they end up finishing above us!
Then, unbelievably, you say 'there is another way of being top dog and that's to spend less money on better players.' !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just exactly what the f*ck do you think the club have been trying to do? Sometimes there is a global shaking of the head at what you write! Do you ever think about what you are writing????? Perhaps you should......otherwise you will continue to have less intelligence than the botulism pathogen!
jason...just read and I quote ..."Andy Carrol in his first match since November lead the West Ham front line superbly the whole match heading the only goal of the game in the 77th minute."
Thoughts ?
jason...irregardless of how Andy fares rest oif this season think it highly likely he will end up back with us...just dont see WHU matching the salary he is on with us . I still see him as the great...PLAN B evenif only coming off the bench. WHU have an agreement to buy but it doesnt inc Andy having to sign for them and I assume he is going to want more or less same money to within say a thou or so of his current with us.
What I see as a pos alternative is the loan being extended and no transfer clause at all simply to save his wages and save face for BR ...Which I think would be a mistake for the club and BR who should be big enough to put any bad feeling behind him and Andy and try and nurture Andy into becoming the player Kenny obviously thought he would be ...who knows maybe by end of this season we will be glad to have him back if he shows good form...Swansea are nobodys mugs and WHU were well out of form last result before this 501 whupping from Arsenal..Andy comes back for them and ...WHUMP from the forehead and 3 pts in the bag...would that we had have him startat Oldham hed have sorted out that big lump of a centre forward they had ...u recall the way he defended set pieces ? You think that big lump would have been able to push him around ?

Colin, the fact is, the game we play now is all dependant on mobility of players and I'm afraid Carroll will not have that mobility as long as he's got a hole in his @rse. He doesn't have the pace either. To be fair, I wanted him to be given more of a chance but he hasn't so as far as I am concerned he is no longer a liverpool player. He should also have played the full 90 in the cup final, but hey-ho. It's not to be!
If we flog him for the reported £18 mil then we can have another class forward for the same bunce in Damaio who would fit our game to a tee! Anyone who saw the Olympics could see that and I think he will be a star-striker someday soon whoever he plays for. Spurs won't be back in for him either it's said.

What I'm saying Loki is that the rich clubs in this world wouldn't wouldn't sweat at spending £200m on players..
Thats my point.. Messi for example went for over £100m + wages..
What I was getting at in terms of "bragging rights" is there's 2 ways to look at it. Either buying the top players and show them off and the fans of that club then bragging on who they signed. The other way is to be clever and sign players for clever deals and they then turn out to be good.. case in point Torres & Saurez.. both their values shot up when with us.. Torres' value more or less doubled in price when we sold him.. Suarez's value too looks to have doubled since we aquired him..
Yes i can see what the club is trying to do.. They're buying them young and hopefully will improve enough so their value doubles so if a big offer comes along they more than likely will be moved on.. Then the ball starts rolling again..
Sofa...what a sickening saga for the real fans though eh ? Ideally we sign someone bargain basement nurture them a little and they turn out to be superstars but barring injury they mature with us and spend their whole career with us and we have as we used to have a virtually telepathic squad of TEAM PLAYERS who are super-talented..or we are essentially just a corner shop open all hours as a feeder club in the future for the BIG 4

Miguel FFP is like a toothless animal.. it has no bite..
Yes LFC / FSG are trying to run a tight ship.
However other clubs seem to be taking the piss and spend willy nilly and they don't seem to be sanctioned by FIFA..
So what good are their rules if they're not taken seriously?
So yes I do feel like saying sod it.. If other clubs are taking the piss out of FFP rules and get away with it then we should too..
Of course I'm not saying lets get into huge debt and buy top players and to hell with going under.
I'm saying lets get in a few star names.. to maybe encourage the younger players to aspire to be great players too..
Tell me other than Suarez who have we got that is truly exceptional?
Yes we need to clear out players who aren't pulling their weight.. Afterall LFC is a business and not a charity..
sofa...did u see Andy in the European cup of nations the goal he scored v Sweden ? Did u see him when he came on in FA CUP FINAL v Chelski and THE GOAL that the ref said he didnt score ,? One thing a lot never noticed about Andy was the way just like Suarez now that he would "tackle back" and always be there to defend set pieces and corners...the way he held the ball up was often superb it wasnt his fault if others werent at the time mobile enough to get in support of his hold ups. It wasnt his fault he didnt score too often nobody seems to mention the complete lack of service for the lad from those who were bought to supply it ??!

He does offer us another option.. Thing is BR doesn't see it that way otherwise he'd still be in the team. It's not as if we're awash with strikers is it?

Aug 13, 2014Ashton Kutcher is not a good actor and in this movie he's not that good either.The story is stupid and the movie is boring but,there was some good moments that keeps me entertain.
Kutcher gives a surprisingly proficient performance as does Heche who is the shining star of the film.
It comes off as an unpleasant, unrealistic morality tale. Loaded with music and pretty bodies, the film has a chance to lasso a young, indiscriminate audience of Kutcher fans.
With "Shampoo" and "American Gigolo" now distant memories, the time evidently seemed ripe for another Hollywood stud movie. Despite Ashton Kutcher's believability as an older woman's kept boy, Spread isn't a patch on those previous films.

Fidelity Rehires Rochte From State Street to Head New Division
Fidelity Investments, the second-largest mutual fund company, rehired Anthony Rochte of State Street Corp. to lead a new division focused on specialized sector investments.
Rochte was a senior managing director at Boston-based State Street's money-management unit, where he helped run the world's second-largest line-up of exchange-traded funds. He will become president of the new division starting in late April, said Adam Banker, a spokesman for Boston-based Fidelity.
Rochte, who worked at Fidelity from 1996 to 2000 as vice president of investment services in the firm's institutional brokerage business, will report to Jacques Perold, president of Fidelity Management & Research Co., said Banker, who declined to specify what kind of investment options the division would focus on under Rochte.
Last year, investors poured $118 billion in U.S.-registered ETFs while withdrawing $31 billion from actively managed mutual funds, according to the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based trade association. About 91 percent of Fidelity's stock and bond mutual fund assets are in active funds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
Service at the village center was excellent.
the house is clean and well equipped beside very old TV that should be replaced and dishwasher that is missing.
beside the master bedroom, rest of the sleeping rooms are for children only.
location is perfect - at the heart of the region .
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
This was an overall appalling experience and thus has led our family to never rent from Wimdu ever again moving forward. As the photos advertised a lovely apartment (not cheap, I might add - about $300 per night), we realized upon arrival and after reading the fine print that the photos on the post were simply an "example" of an apartment that you MIGHT be placed in. After taking an expensive cab ride to pick up the key and digging through pages of contracts to find the code to unlock the door and the safebox, we then had to take another expensive cab to the other side of the city where the apartment was located. The location was fine but we had to drag our heavy bags up three flights of stairs, because the apartment did not have a lift. When we arrived, the apartment was tiny and nothing like the photos online. The worst part was then at checkout, we were expected to return the key to the safebox again on the other side of town. These people BRIDGESTREET ARE COMPLETE FRAUDS! Do not rent from them. Ever.
Apartment is exactly as described.2 rooms ,clean,suitable for a family with upto two kids with a small kitchen.Its 30 mins by bus from the apartment to the altsatdt but the bus stop is only 20m away from the apartment.Could have been better if wifi was also provided.the host was really good, also giving us some suggestions on places to visit for kids.
Will definetly recommend to others.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Toure has not been able to complete a full training session with his team mates since undergoing surgery last month.
Lamouchi said Ivory Coast's medical team had been working hard on trying to get the African Footballer of the Year fit for when the Ivorians open their Group C campaign against Japan in Recife.
"We will try and do everything to ensure he can play him," the coach told reporters on Tuesday.
Toure suffered a thigh injury in mid-April but returned to help Manchester City secure the Premier League title for the second time in three years.
He then went to Qatar for treatment and joined up late with the Ivorian squad in their training camp in the U.S.
Toure did not play in either of their two warm-up international against Bosnia and El Salvador.

On my front page, on the dark gray area, I would like to have a small slideshow to the left of the side of the page, a nice centered headline and then text wrap on the right side of the slideshow.
How would I be able to do that? What would the code be? Thanks!

Ion implantation of different ion species of varying mass on magnetic recording media was investigated. Except for helium (4He+) and cobalt (59Co+) ions, all the other ions showed reduction in saturation magnetization (Ms). In fact, Ms was reduced to ~ 0 emu/cc at a fluence of 2 × 1016 and 5 × 1016 ions/cm2 for antimony (121Sb+) and argon (40Ar+ ) ions, respectively. First-order reversal curves (FORC) showed a reduction in the switching field and distribution as the fluence of the implanted species increased. In addition, the magnetostatic interactions which were present in the media were found to be overwhelmed by an increase in exchange interaction as fluence increased. It was noticed that the heavier the implanted ion, the lower was the lateral range and straggle. A negative correlation was also observed between the straggle of the implanted species and the increased exchange interaction. This observation is expected to play a very crucial role in high-density patterned media fabrication.

It seems as if only yesterday we were knee deep in snow. Many of us were dreaming of the day when warm weather would arrive, and time for fun in the sun would return.
Well, that time is once again here. This weekend's temperatures sound to be perfect for outdoors, with temperatures expected to be in the 80s likely each day through next Tuesday. With the fun of being outdoors comes the threat of dangers from the sun in terms of sunburn and, in worst case scenarios, melanoma.
