AbstractOutdoor acoustics simulation plays a vital role in several military and commercial applications, such as minimizing the noise profile of reconnaissance vehicles to avoid counter-detection, optimizing sensors and systems for tactical advantage, pinpointing the origin of gunshots using their acoustic signatures, noise modeling, urban planning, games and VR training. State-of-the-art outdoor acoustics prediction methods are restricted, slow, or limited to simple environments. Specifically, no existing method can simultaneously model atmospheric acoustical phenomena, surface interactions due to complex objects, and dynamic sound sources and listeners. We propose to develop two approaches with complementary strengths for outdoor acoustics simulation, based on multi-domain simulation and pre-computed transfer operators, respectively. Multi-domain simulation combines efficient parabolic equation solvers and/or non-linear ray tracing with accurate wave equation solvers to model long-range atmospheric effects and scattering due to complex obstacles. Transfer operators could enable real-time prediction from moving sources or listeners by pre-computing the scattering behavior of obstacles and the interactions between them. Phase II will involve developing an industry-strength acoustics simulation tool which will be capable of handling large-scale dynamic environments, and exploiting multi-core CPUs and GPUs. We will commercialize these tools for civilian and military markets during Phase II and Phase III.

"The City on the Bay of Fundy" Top 5 Page for this destination Saint John by Jefie
Saint John Travel Guide: 113 reviews and 219 photos
In July 2008, I spent a week in Saint John to watch my nephew compete at the National Karate Championships. I had never been to Saint John before so I did try to make the most of every spare moment we had to walk around the city and try to discover a bit of its history.
Although Saint John had been a thriving little town for many decades, what really helped shape the city into what it is today was the arrival of about 14,000 Loyalists, a large group of British colonists who chose to leave the United States after the American Revolution. They came to Saint John apparently determined to create a new "Boston" - they set up a successful shipbuilding industry and developed elaborate urban plans, complete with a public garden and different public squares. Thousands of Irish immigrants also came to Saint John in the 1840s and contributed to turning the city into one of the Maritimes' leading industrial centers. However, the great fire of 1877 - and, in my opinion, the weather - forced some residents to relocate elsewhere in the country and although it is still New Brunswick's most important industrial center, Saint John doesn't exactly have the same kind of charm other Maritimes cities have.
Over the past few years, many efforts have been put into place to revamp the "uptown" part of the city, creating different historic walking tours, cleaning up the buildings, and making sure there are always plenty of activities going on around the harbour. They've been successful for the most part - although you don't have to walk too far to see some pretty run-down streets, there's enough to keep you busy for a day or two in the city, especially if you happen to be there during some of the rare fog-free days. So although I wouldn't necessarily pick Saint John as my next summer vacations spot, I did bring back plenty of good memories from my trip which I'll do my best to sum up in a few travel tips!
- Pros:A lot of historic sites, and nature close at hand
- Cons:THE FOG!!!!!
- In a nutshell:Would have loved to see more, but couldn't handle the fog anymore!

The arrival of 14,000 Loyalists all at once must have doubled or tripled the population.
Good that you saw some of the sights despite the fog.
The 2009 rates for Cherry Brook Zoo are different than shown here: Adults - $9, Seniors-$7, Age 13-17 is $6; 3-12 is $4.50, under 3 is free and family is $23
Isa, here is wishing you a happy birthday!! This is a great page on Saint John, but for today at least, I hope you are enjoying yourself in sunshine instead of fog! I was actually born in the place so know what you are talking about.
nice page. looks like good hiking terretory.
Hi Isa, Despite the fog it looks like you had a good time. Now I know about St John the "fog" will keep me clear of the city.

Sohonet Launches Cloud Storage Service
Sohonet Media Storage Designed to Let Facilities Scale Up on a Project-by-Project Basis
Sohonet launched a new service offering private cloud storage for the media and entertianment industry. The Sohonet Media Storage platform offers users anywhere from a terabyte to multiple petabytes of easily scalable storage, accessed through the Sohonet Media Network at speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
The service is designed to allow users to quickly tap supplementary storage capacity when their own storage infrastructure fills up. It's aimed at facilities that operate on a project-by-project basis, often needing to ramp up storage for the short term.
"Media companies and service providers are crying out for a short-term, flexible storage service that enables them to expand and extend storage capability on production or post-production projects quickly, easily and without having to purchase and maintain assets," said Sohonet Director of Product Management Ben Dair. "Sohonet Media Storage has been developed to respond to this need by providing flexible, affordable access to short and long-term archiving, back up, and parking as well as a viable option for intermediate storage or as an alternative to LTO or portable disks."
Sohonet Media Storage is attached and embedded within the Sohonet Media Network and is built on the Open Stack cloud computing technology, with embedded redundancy.
"We are extending our expertise beyond the network, to include a range of specialist, media-aware offerings, on an infrastructure-as-a-service basis," said Sohonet CEO Dave Scammell. "Our latest service, Sohonet Media Storage, promises to take the headache out of storage procurement on both a short and long-term basis for new and existing members of our Sohonet Media Network."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Clean, sleek, modern room. Great breakfast, similar to other hotel full breakfasts I've had at German hotels with hot and cold foods in a buffet setup. Close to public transportation but also within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Took the local train to Volks Fest one night. Next to a grocery store, if you want to pick up snacks. Only downside was that my GPS couldn't find the hotel. Luckily, there were small directional signs for the hotel on the nearby street signs.

I have a site structure such as this:
I am trying to configure an Apache rewrite rule which will point all sub pages to the home page, bar specific pages.
Using the example above I would need to redirect all the sub pages of the site to the home page, bar say the
terms and
request-information pages.
I have been looking on StackOverflow and I've found a few questions that went unanswered, such as this one and this one. The second link seems to kind of do what I want but I'm not sure how to override my rule for specific pages.
My configuration
Currently, my Apache file looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.co.uk
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://server:8000/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/root/site/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.co.uk
Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.co.uk/
In an attempt to get this working I appended this, just to see if I could get a sub page to redirect:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName http://www.domain.co.uk/subpage-a
Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.co.uk/
This didn't work but as there are a lot of sub pages to this site, I really would like more of a catch-all rule which would be ignored for certain sub pages.
Is this possible and does anyone have any ideas?
I'm looking for a 'catch-all' style Apache rewrite rule which will redirect every subpage, bar certain pages to the home page of the domain.
With regards to the answers below I have tried the following:
Answer #1
I modified my code to look like the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.domain.co.uk
ProxyPreserveHost On

Andy Keogh's second-half effort, presented to him thanks to a howler from goalkeeper Ross Worner, and Martyn Woolford's close-range strike ensured the Lions' name will be in the hat for Thursday's second-round draw.
And although disappointed to concede a late Luke Moore goal, Lomas insists the positive mentality that was on display bodes well for when they resume their Championship campaign this weekend.
"I am always pleased to win, that's what it is all about so there were a lot of positives to take but for a sloppy bit of defending on our part and maybe not being as clinical as we could have been with our chances," said Lomas.
"But I thought we passed the ball well, moved it about and created opportunities. I didn't think there was a real bad performance in the team but the little critical things like seeing the game out and making it so it's not so mad at the end need work.
"And also as well when we get chances like we did we have to take them and take a higher percentage of them.
"I thought the application of the lads to do what I wanted from them was good. We have got a bunch of motivated honest bunch of boys who will give it everything for the cause."

Şövkət Ələkbərova - Biography
Shovkat Alakbarova was born to Azeri parents - Feyzulla and Hokuma Alakbarov, and was the third of the family's four children. Her mother was a professional tar player and her father, a labourer, was a folk music lover. Both parents passed similar interests on to their children. As a child, Shovkat took up kamancha lessons. In 1937, she became one of the finalists at a contest held among amateur singers and judged by prominent Azerbaijani composers and musicians, such as Uzeyir Hajibeyov and Bulbul. She performed Qarabagh shikastasi at the Azerbaijan State Opera and Ballet Theatre in Baku (which was her first stage performance) and was chosen by Hajibeyov to join the newly formed Azerbaijan State Choir, where Alakbarova started her professional career as a singer. As a teenager, she was vocally trained by mugham instructor Aghalar Aliverdibeyov and opera singer Huseyngulu Sarabski. At the early stage of her career, she mostly performed folk songs.
During the Second World War while giving concerts to soldiers in hospitals, train stations, military units, Alakbarova first sang patriotic war songs composed by Hajibeyov. She would make up to 50 performances a day, including those in distant places such as Stalingrad and Ukraine. Beginning in 1945, she worked as a soloist with the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Society. By the 1950s, she was recognized as the most popular Azerbaijani singer of both folk and composed songs. Most of Alakbarova's songs were in Azeri, however she also sang in Persian, Arabic, and Turkish. She toured over 20 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. Three years before her death, in 1990, she went to Germany to receive medical treatment and at the same time to perform for the Azeri émigrés. Read more on Last.fm.

SANTA FE — Former New Mexico state Sen. Phil Griego is being called back to court on newly confirmed charges of fraud, bribery and perjury as the criminal corruption case moves toward trial.
New Mexico District Court Judge Brett Loveless has scheduled the arraignment for Friday at a courthouse in Albuquerque.

Second case of plague confirmed
SANTA FE — State health officials say New Mexico has a second confirmed human case of plague this year.
The Department of Health Services' announcement Tuesday says the latest case involves a 77-year-old man in the Albuquerque area.
The new human case follows one involving a 16-year-old Rio Arriba County boy who has since recovered.
New Mexico had four cases of the disease last year with one death.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Carmen Garza has concluded that the New Mexico Human Services Department should have someone looking over its shoulder to help ensure that it complies with court orders and federal law in the administration of federally funded benefits.
According to The Associated Press, Garza is also recommending a contempt finding against the agency, which oversees the distribution of federal food aid and Medicaid health care benefits to the poor.
Strictly as a joke, I recently wrote to some Facebook friends that I was considering returning to full-time teaching. Why?

Update: I think I've identified the moment of the problem in procmon on the primary server and have put a small chunk of the procmon output here.
We've set up an offsite DPM server to act as a secondary server to our onsite DPM server.
We set up some protection groups, recovered the appropriate data and shipped the USB drive with that data to the offsite box.
All of the protection groups are now synchronising except the group that has the system state /BMR image of our domain controller.
The protected domain controller is running as a VM on vmware ESXi with the vm files stored on a NAS.
The configuration protection fails with "Access is denied"
Affected area: Computer\System Protection(computer.domain.local)
Occurred since: 07/09/2011 19:48:04
Description: DPM could not start a recovery, consistency check, or initial replica creation job for System Protection Computer\System Protection(computer.domain.local) on onsite-dpm.domain.local for following reason:
An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: Access is denied (0x80070005))
More information
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
Run configure protection job again...
Resolution: To dismiss the alert, click below
Inactivate alert
Since other groups (including system and BMR cover) are working and were set up in the same way I'm guessing there's some unwritten fangling that needs to be fangled.

How many of you ladies shop "per unit"? You know what I mean? I bought a half gallon of milk yesterday for 1.79 because I was down to only a few grocery dollars till payday. My mom kept saying I needed to buy the gallon because it was 2.99 and that made it only come out to 1.50 a half gallon. I tried to get her to understand that for now I needed to look at the cheaper item price. Do you know what I mean? Does it make sense or am I doing it wrong?
Another gocery question.......
I shop per unit unless there is no way I can afford the bigger packaging with the money we have for the shopping trip. If you only have $2 you can't buy the $3 milk.:)
I do it the way your mom does because it makes more sense in the long run. However, I totally get that you need the cheaper item for a time like the end of the month!
Proud Wifey to Gabe 9/4/04
SAHMama to.. Hailey 12/4/03, Lauren 2/7/06 & Zachary 7/7/08
Wow thats expensive for a gallon of milk. Ours has been around $1.98 for a gallon and like you $1.79 for a half gallon. So obviously we normally buy the 1 gallon. But if the difference was like yours and you only have a few $, I would buy the half gallon.
Our next purchase will be a half gallon regardless of price because we are going on vacation and will not finish a whole gallon, and while the price is so much better, I just can't throw out that much milk.
I do both, on payday or when I have most of my money, I will buy the larger packaging of a frequently used item because it will come out to be cheaper in the long run. However, if it is 4 days until payday and I only have $4 left and need milk and bread, I will get a half gallon so that I can also afford the bread.
DEBT FREE !!!!!!!!� Follow me to WDF to see how it's done in baby steps!!
That is how much our milk cost around here as well.
I find DH likes the milk per unit but it goes bad before it is drunk (Or is it drank) some weeks so I just buy what we need for the week. I find if we buy more they eat more or use more then needed as well so I make meals per person and do not cook leftovers.
Of course if you do not have the money you can not get the larger milk. I found Kmart has a good price on milk and so does some of the warehouse stores like Sams or BJ's.
-J- 3 Kids and 1 goldfish
i always shop 'per unit'.. the way i think of it if i buy something large and it takes me over budget one month, i can deduct the extra expense from the following month's budget because i won't need to buy as much of the item for the next month. wow run on sentence.. but you get the idea :)
I can make you all feel better---We buy organic milk- 3.29 for the 1/2 gallon, 5.99 for the gallon. And that's the store brand in the town were DH works. In our very town grocery its 4.99 for a 1/2 gallon! We kept DS on whole milk so he could split it with his sister or it won't get drunk in time but now that he's 3 I want to go to 2%, but three milks seems like a lot.
Anyway, I shop per unit unless as PP's said, we can't afford it. You should see they size on my chocolate syrup right now!!!
Tired of living in CHAOS? Learn to FLY
Milk for a gallon is running $3.30 a gallon reg price, $2.68 or so sale/ Bjs. I live in MD.

JACKPOT CITY Online Casino
Jackpot City

Jackpot City uses Microgaming software to power its casino. This provides Jackpot City with several types of tournaments including Sit'nGo, Buy In and Freeroll that you can enter.
You will also occasionally find special tournaments that will have prize pools worth thousands of dollars. These tournaments typically attract a large field and it is best to register for them early.
Free Blackjack Tournaments
There are several benefits to playing in free blackjack tournaments. A variety of free roll BJ tournaments are available, when it comes to those at online casinos. These free tournaments are actually becoming more and more popular, yet not all casinos offer tournaments.
First when you play at a casino, make sure that you do have the option for such tournaments available.Then you should also understand aspects such as
how to play blackjack
blackjack strategy
before beginning to play in the tournaments. After learning the various aspects, you then can decide whether you should play or not. Some casino tournaments will expect a paid entry, but it will not be the same with the free blackjack tournaments. These will cost you nothing and are agreat way to build up your strategies. You will always have a choice whether to later pay to enter a
Sit 'n Go or Buy-In
There is one big advantage of the free slot tournament is the ability to win a cash prize with no cost to you. You can win this even if you do not buy anything initially. Tournaments can also be of the sit and go variety, where as you need not have to wait for a scheduled start time, just sit down and play.
Another type of online blackjack tournaments is the scheduled variety. This can be a free tournament or a paid entry, but has a set starting time which you must be present at. Sometimes a minimum and maximum amount of players will be required, so it is always wise to sign up early for the tournament.
There are plenty of choices when it comes to blackjack as well. You will have a couple of options in the online tournaments as far as the type of blackjack game is concerned. European blackjack which uses 5 decks of cards and is shuffled after each hand. The other called "Blackjack Card Counter" only uses 2 decks of cards and only shuffles when the shoe is empty in this tournament! Make sure to know which you are entering so that you can use proper strategy. This is also why it is a great reason to start off playing in free blackjack tournaments, so that you can familiarize yourself with the game play. Participating in blackjack tournaments are a great way to improve your skills and In in no time at all you can resemble a professional.
There will be terms and conditions, and one must always check with it before beginning to play. typically the main one to watch for is whether you have the ability to cash out your winnings immediately from the free blackjack tournament. Sometime the winnings will have to be
wagering requirements
that have be met before requesting a withdrawal.
Tournaments are a lot of fun, and also very accessible and easy to play as well. You will find that it is profitable as well if you play your cards right. Enjoy them just as you would with any of the other casino tournaments.
Free blackjack tournaments also have plenty of advantages. Both beginners as well as experts will find that there is a difference and that it is much better than regular blackjack tournaments. They offer a lot of fun and excitement and are not to be missed.

When does a coaching staff lose the players? When the players stop believing the staff is doing the right thing to win games. You have to wonder if doubts aren't creeping into the players' minds about the offensive philoposhy:
1. Insisiting on running inside when its not working
2. Playing conservative to protect small leads
If we can see the flaws, you have to believe the players are going to get frustrated with it. When do they stop viewing Singeltary as a strong leader, and instead see him as just plain obstinate? I don't know how they view Raye, but their confidence in him has to be slipping also.

Inherit the Wind is pretty fictionalized. The "guilty" verdict in the Scopes trial was returned because Scopes was found to have violated the statute prohibiting the teaching of evolution. The idea behind the show trial was to force a higher court to rule on the constitutionality of that law. The Tennessee judge had no choice but to rule that the law was violated, because Scopes admitted to teaching evolution.
Although it was billed as a battle between reason and religion (particularly in the ficionalized version), the actual ruling had nothing to do with which view of human origins was correct.
I seem to recall that the Scopes judge also awarded a puny fine on the schoolteacher. Not exactly a mighty blow for creationism.
Scopes later stated (not sure if this contradicted his trial testimony) that he couldn't remember if he did actually teach evolution.
Much of the impetus for the trial was drummed up by the local leaders to put Dayton on the economic map...which it successfully did. Tourist still flock to this little town.
Check out Edward Larson's book on the subject. Excellent historian and book.
This show was freakin' brilliant! Three cheers for the GOOD people of Dover, PA (and fuck the rest of you).

WND Exclusive FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU After attack on Jews, Obama gives condolences to Palestinians Woman killed, at least 38 wounded in attack at crowded Jerusalem bus stop Posted: March 23, 2011 4:24 pm Eastern
By Aaron Klein © 2011 WorldNetDaily
President Obama
JERUSALEM President Obama's official statement on today's bombing at a crowded bus stop in Jerusalem included a clause expressing his "deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday."
The statement seems to draw a moral equivalence between today's attack in Jerusalem, in which Jewish civilians were targeted, and the death of four Palestinian civilians who were killed in an Israel Defense Force strike targeting a site used yesterday by militants in Gaza to launch mortars at nearby Jewish population centers.
Gazan terrorist groups routinely use civilian zones, including apartment buildings and hospitals, to launch rockets and mortars aimed at Jewish neighborhoods near the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said in a statement the army here believed it was targeting a terrorist rocket team and did not know civilians were in the area.
A 59-year-old woman was killed in today's blast in Jerusalem, with at least 38 people wounded in attack.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It never ends with this pos.
God bless Israel and all who protect her.
LOL! Well 70+% of American Jews voted for this Jew hater and they still love him. They sure hated Bush.
BTW - their pin up boy gave the Palestinians at least $800 million to kill Jews. Elections have consequences. If Hilter came back from the dead with a D after his name - they would vote for him. Sad.
Well we've always known where O's sympathies have been so no surprises here.
Obama - step off. THose are the only civil words I can use here.
...to draw a moral equivalence between today's attack in Jerusalem, in which Jewish civilians were targeted, and the death of four Palestinian civilians who were killed in an Israel Defense Force strike targeting a site used yesterday by militants in Gaza to launch mortars at nearby Jewish population centers...
Typical for the pResident-in-Chief.
Zero, like his mother and father before him, is an embarrassment to the civilized world
What video might that be?
Amazing. "Condolences to the Palestinians" indeed. This guy is just plain bold-faced evil.
Just like the clinton condolences to the poor palestinians killed by a retaliatory strike while offering "condolences" to families of the brave US Sailors murdered by islamic terrorists on the USS Cole. Only the names change. The sentiment remains the same.
Zero's Grandfather was an embarrassment also, by welcoming the very married African that knocked up his underage daughter into his family.
Zero's Aunt is an Embarrassment also.
Well stated. My first thought was this pos.
From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
The only reason he attended a `christian' church is that
the preacher had nothing good to say about this country.
The IDF can write their condolences on some mortar rounds and send them over to the Palis.
The WND title leads one to believe that Obama offered sympathy only to the Palestinians. We have plenty to beat up Obama over, but this is not a good choice. Here is the statement:
"I condemn in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in recent days. Together with the American people, I offer my deepest condolences for those injured or killed. There is never any possible justification for terrorism. The United States calls on the groups responsible to end these attacks at once and we underscore that Israel, like all nations, has a right to self-defense. We also express our deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday. We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties."
I do not have a problem with this statement.
Thanks for the update. It has been at least three days since your last reminder.......added to your last 100 reminders. Again, a big THANKS!
My neighbor, like most U.S. Jews, will be voting for Obama again ... and inviting me to donate to some Israeli charity. The disconnect never ceases to amaze me.
WND is really a rag
"I do not have a problem with this statement."
This statement, that I posted? I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
I do. The `religion of peace' gives us infidels three choices: conversion, capitulation & subjugation, or death. Period.
And I don't believe a word his teleprompter says, most recently, for ex., that the war in Libya isn't a war, that it isn't regime change and it will last days, not weeks.
I believe his sympathies and ultimate loyalty will be with the muslim religion. This is why, I think, the Constitution requires that presidential candidates be `natural born citizens'.
Of course, you are free to believe what you want; it's a great country, while it lasts.
"We have plenty to beat up Obama over, but this is not a good choice."
This sounds like the old, "We've got better things to spend our time on than attacking his qualifications for office under the Constitution ... "
Like what? This site is comparable to `letters of correspondence' in this county a couple hundered years ago, and I'll admit that I'm partisan.
We should attack him with every weapon in our arsenal. Was this bomb set off by Israelis? No, they never are—they are exploded by murderous Arabs. And Zero is extending his sympathies to them. I think that may be the point some are trying to make.
Obama should mind his own business if he can't stop lending aid and comfort to the enemy. He's certainly got a full domestic docket but he can't resist playing general and statesman. He's neither.
Well you are wrong. It was despicable - and deliberate - to combine the two statements.
The real meaning is, "BTW you Jews killed some people too, so don't think this statement means I am siding with you".
I do. It creates the impression for the ignorant that there is a moral equivalency between the victims of a vicious terror attack and individuals who (if they were really even "civilians") were unfortunate to get caught in the middle of a defensive counter attack to another ARAB act of war.
The Israelis risk their own lives to help protect civilians. The Arabs fire warshots while hiding behind civilians.
Those who can't see the difference here are willfully blind.
The dinner for Rashid Khalidi, a real Israel hater, now spewing at Columbia U, Zero's alma mater.
I long to be a fly on the wall when that tape is played.

Malaysia Bars Rare-Earth Imports, Starts Lynas Plant Review
Lynas Corp. will be barred from importing raw materials into Malaysia until the completion of a study prompted by health and safety concerns related to a processing plant the Australian developer of rare earths minerals is constructing.
The Sydney-based company won't get a pre-operating license until the month-long independent review is complete, the Malaysian government said. The company can continue building its $220 million refinery in Pahang state while it awaits the outcome of the panel's study, Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, secretary-general of the Ministry of International Trade & Industry, told media in Kuala Lumpur today.
"We will never compromise the public interest in the handling of the Lynas issue," International Trade & Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed said. "The health and safety of our people and the environment will continue to receive the highest priority in our deliberations in this regard."
Protests, including a march on Parliament, have escalated following leakages at nuclear power plants in Japan after last month's earthquake and tsunami. While technologies used in rare-earth processing are different, local residents and non-governmental organizations are concerned over radiation risks and what will happen to the waste.
"Lynas is confident the review will reconfirm that the plant is safe and presents no hazard to the community or Lynas workers," the company said in an e-mailed statement today, adding that the study won't delay the plant's completion.
Market Growth
Lynas's shares have jumped 353 percent in the past year amid escalating global demand for its minerals used in iPod music players and crystal displays. The stock rose 2.1 percent to close at A$2.45 yesterday, ahead of today's market holiday.
Should it get the all-clear, the refinery will process rare-earth mineral ores, including neodymium and yttrium, from Lynas's Mt Weld mine which is under development in Western Australia.
The market for rare earth minerals may double to as much as $6 billion by the middle of the decade, according to a report by Ernst & Young LLP analyst Michel Nestour yesterday. The market is currently valued at $2 billion to $4 billion, he wrote. Prices for some rare earths jumped more than 1,000 percent last year, Molycorp Inc., the U.S. owner of the largest rare-earth deposit outside China, said in December.
China Clamps Down
China, the biggest holder of rare earths, has clamped down on mining while cutting export quotas to conserve resources and protect the environment. The initiative has boosted prices and sparked concern among overseas users such as Japan about access to supplies. Rare earths, 17 chemically similar elements, are used in sonar systems, flat-screen televisions, hybrid cars and computers.
Lynas's plant in Kuantan, Pahang, was due to start operations in five months, the Malaysian Insider reported on April 20. While the project had been approved by government, this was subject to environmental impact assessment, Prime Minister Najib Razak said in an interview on March 29.
The review panel will be formed soon and will comprise as many as seven independent experts, Raja Abdul Aziz Raja Adnan, director-general of Malaysia's Atomic Energy Licensing Board told reporters.
"Lynas must provide our panel of experts with the proof of concept before we can consider anything that Lynas wants to offer here in Malaysia," Fuziah Salleh, member of Parliament for Kuantan, said in an e-mailed statement.
Rare-earth metals are key to global efforts to switch to cleaner energy -- from batteries in hybrid cars to magnets in wind turbines. Mining and processing the metals causes environmental damage that China, the biggest producer, is no longer willing to bear.
China's rare earth industry each year produces more than five times the amount of waste gas, including deadly fluorine and sulfur dioxide, than the total flared annually by all miners and oil refiners in the U.S. Alongside that 13 billion cubic meters of gas is 25 million tons of wastewater laced with cancer-causing heavy metals such as cadmium, Xu Xu, chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, said at a Beijing conference on Dec. 28.

"Tribes Hill's Shady Neighbor" Fort Hunter by Tucc
Fort Hunter Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 0 photos
It's a nice town but there is nothing there. They have a volunteer fire department and a really small library but not much else. It really pales in comparison to its neighbor across the river called Tribes Hill (of course I'm biased). It has nice trails and you can fish by the Mohawk.
- Pros:Trails and a Canal
- Cons:Nothing really to see or do
- In a nutshell:Its ok if you just want to walk on trails or fish

Ever wonder what FriXion erasable ink is made of? Or why NASA preferred Fisher Space Pens to pencils?
There's a world of technology hidden inside the deceptively simple surface of your pen. In this article, we'll take a look at 5 innovative pens and explain how they work. Click through to the patents for even more details and diagrams!
1. Pilot Frixion Erasable Gel Ink Pen
Rubbing the thermo-sensitive FriXion ink with its eraser causes the ink to heat up and become invisible. However, the ink is still there, and extreme cold (-10 degrees Celsius or under) will cause it to reappear.
The Patent: Paper Mate invented the erase-by-friction ballpoint pen (and the associated special ink formula) in 1979, but Pilot has since improved on the formula in several ways. The most obvious improvements have to do with the eraser and erasing process. Pilot addresses three problems that often arise with erase-by-friction pens:
1) The eraser rubs off and leaves grit behind
2) The eraser is too fine and requires too much force to erase
3) The eraser is too rough and damages paper, rendering it unsuitable for reuse.
The FriXion's simple rubber eraser creates the perfect amount of friction against paper -- it's enough to erase the ink easily, but won't scuff the paper. The secret is that the friction coefficient between the rubber eraser and the paper should be between 0.4 and 0.8. (View Patent)
Gentian Osman's video illustrates what happens when the ink is exposed to heat from a tea kettle, then cold air from a freezer.
Fun Fact: Pilot also has a patent in the works for special erase-by-friction ink that does not re-appear under low temperature conditions. This ink mixture supposedly has "excellent stability" and "vivid hue intensity", but is not yet approved. (View Patent)
The Fisher Space Pen uses a special pressurized ink cartridge to push its ink out, which allows it to work in extreme temperatures, on airplanes, or in space.
The Patent: The pressurized ink cartridge would make the pen leak uncontrollably if you used regular ink. The thixotropic ink, which has the consistency of very thick rubber cement, is actually what enables the Space Pen to work properly. It's a viscous gel at rest, but when you write, the shearing motion from the rolling ball turns it into a liquid. (View Patent)
Fun Fact: There is a famous claim that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a space pen, while the Russians simply used a pencil. In reality, the pencils were somewhat hazardous for several reasons: loose graphite floating in the air could be inhaled or short out electronics, and both the lead and wood of the pencil would burn easily in the oxygen-rich atmosphere of a spacecraft.
NASA never asked Fisher to make the Space Pen, nor did they ever pay him any development costs. Fisher spent over a million dollars trying to perfect the pen, before sending it to the Houston Space Center for testing. The criteria of the test were that the pen: A) Could not burn in a 100% oxygen atmosphere, and B) Must work in a vacuum, with no gravity, and in temperatures ranging from +150 degrees Celsius to -120 degrees Celsius. After it passed, it was used on the Apollo, Shuttle, and ISS missions. Now, modern astronauts have the choice of using a felt tip marker instead.
The fountain pen is retractable; when you twist the pen body to expand, the nib slides out. When the pen body is retracted, a solid ball valve covers the nib opening, creating a protective shell over it that is extremely secure. Other retractable fountain pens have similar mechanisms that protect the nib and seal it off, but they don't feel quite as robust.
The Patent: The patent for the Lamy Dialog 3 is purely ornamental, meaning that it protects only the appearance of the pen. Jewelry, furniture, computer icons, and fonts can all qualify for an ornamental (or design) patent, as long as it's new and nonobvious. If you click through to the actual patent, you'll see that it has a long list of citations. One of these citations is the design for a fountain pen, which relies on another twenty-two inventions for its existence. Despite its deceptively smooth and minimalist design, the Dialog 3 is the culmination of over a hundred different patents! (View Patent)
Fun Fact: The Dialog 3 was designed by award-winning Swiss designer Franco Clivio, who is also listed as the inventor on the patent above. Check out the top view of the fountain pen -- what does it remind you of? If you guessed jet engines, then you guessed right.
4. Field Notes Color Cover Memo Book - Expedition Edition
These sturdy pocket notebooks contain 48 pages of Yupo synthetic paper, which is waterproof, tear-proof, and 100% recyclable. The paper is made primarily from polypropylene film, which is very strong and has excellent ink adhesion.
The Patent: Yupo patented the specific process it uses to manufacture the synthetic paper. Although polypropylene film is the main component, some inorganic fine powders and organic fillers are added to it. The film is stretched biaxially, then layered until it reaches the desired thickness (20 to 350 µm). After stretching, it undergoes a surface oxidation treatment and is coated with an aqueous solution that enhances water resistance. (View Patent)
Field Notes: Extreme Lab Series, Ballistics Test
Fun Fact: In twelve videos called the Extreme Lab Series, Field Notes subjects the Expedition to a series of pass/fail tests. Some are obvious and easy to pass, like the Waterproof Test, but others are more extreme. The notebook is set on fire in the Flame Resistance Test, then gets thrown into a tub of acid (alongside a regular Field Notes Memo Book) in the Acid Resistance Test. What other tests would you like to see? We think Field Notes should try running the Expedition through a laundry machine, or give it to the dog for a thorough chewing session.
5. Sakura Gelly Roll Gel Ink Pens
Creating the perfect formula for metallic and glitter inks is hard. Sakura comes pretty close with pigment inks that shine brightly, have good ink flow, and remain evenly mixed. The secret is a thickening, or thixotropic, agent that increases the overall viscosity of the ink. That way, the aluminum particles used for that metallic sheen won't sink to the bottom!
The Patent: All marker inks must contain a colorant and a solvent in order to write. Gelly Roll ink uses pigments as colorants and water-based solvents as solvents; however, this can pose a problem because pigments tend to separate in the pen body over time. Since the ink is contained in a central core, shaking the pen won't help to evenly mix the pigments. This causes written marks to have undesirable gradation. In particular, the aluminum particles present in metallic pigments are heavy and tend to settle into a separate later. Sakura solves the problem by adding a thickening agent (such as water soluble resin) to the ink. The thickening agent adjusts the viscosity of the ink so that pigment separation is slowed.
Since the feeling of "metallic-ness" is increased by the size and presence of aluminum particles, it becomes a balancing act of sorts. Bigger aluminum particles create a nice metallic effect, but can clog the tip. A diameter of 3µm to 7µm is best. Also, despite the nice glittering effect, too many aluminum particles can also inhibit ink flow. (View Patent)
Fun Fact: In the early 1980s, Sakura assembled a team of four technicians to develop a successful gel ink pen. They accumulated more than a thousand materials for creating the perfect gel ink, including grated yam, egg whites, and any jelly-like materials. However, something was missing. One team member recalls scouring newspaper headlines day after day, looking for leads. One day, he came upon an ad in a chemical trade publication for xanthan gum... and the rest was history. Sakura introduced the first ever gel ink pen in 1984, naming it the "Ballsign 280". "Ballsign" was the combination of the words "ballpoint" and "sign". The name "Gelly Roll" wasn't used until 1988, when Sakura started trying to break through to the American market.
Every object has a rich story lurking under the surface. In the past century, we've witnessed the invention of the felt tip marker, erasable ink, synthetic paper, metallic pens, and countless others. Man has gone to the moon, and pens have gone with him. With tons of potential products still marked "patent pending", the possibilities are endless...

Embattled Rep. Michael Grimm's (R-N.Y.) fundraising has continued to plummet.
National Republicans threw Grimm under the bus following his indictment, and he's facing accusations that he evaded taxes and employed illegal immigrants at a restaurant he owns.
Despite a lack of help from the National Republican Congressional Committee, Grimm still sits on more than $1 million for his reelection battle — but he owes nearly half that sum in debts.
Democrats are expecting to win Grimm's Staten Island-based swing district this fall. Grimm's opponent, Democrat Domenic Recchia, has yet to release his post-primary fundraising for June, but had raised $144,000 in the previous two months and has more than $1 million in the bank as well.

I have a desktop with an ASUS motherboard with 6 SATA ports.
- 4x3Gbps ICH10R ports
- 2x6Gbps Marvell 9123 ports
I bought two 3Gbps Intel SSD drives to be used in a RAID 1 configuration (reliability is of primary concern).
My question is whether to connect them to the 6Gbps ports or the 3Gbps ports?
Even though the drives are only 3Gbps, I thought I'd use the Marvell 63Gbps ports. Figured it was newer technology so probably better. But then I read (an old article) that the ICH10R controller can be much faster. So now I'm not sure. How interchangeable are the drives on each controller if something goes bad? What are the other issues? Is one controller more reliable than the other?

Watching Aggressive, Attractive, Female Protagonists Shapes Gender Roles for Women Among Male and Female Undergraduate Viewers
- Laramie D. TaylorAffiliated withCommunication Department, University of California, Davis Email author
- , Tiffany SettersAffiliated withCommunication Department, University of California, Davis
The impact of exposure to media representations of aggressive, attractive, female protagonists on audiences' gender role expectations for women was explored through a laboratory experiment with 122 undergraduates from a large university on the west coast of the United States. Participants viewed a segment of a major Hollywood motion picture that featured a female protagonist who was either highly attractive or less attractive and either highly aggressive or not aggressive. Viewing clips featuring a female protagonist who was both aggressive and stereotypically attractive led to greater endorsement of stereotypically feminine and stereotypically masculine gender role expectations for women. The effect on endorsement of stereotypically masculine expectations was partially mediated by the perception that the protagonist was a good role model for women. Although women endorsed both feminine and masculine gender role expectations for women more strongly than men, the effects of exposure to aggressive, attractive, female protagonists were similar for both male and female participants. Results are discussed in terms of gender stereotype activation and superwoman expectations for women.

Amarillo astronaut Rick Husband smiles from a photograph at the entrance to the Texas Tech University College of Engineering in Lubbock.
The college displays the photograph, and the T-shirt Husband wore in it, to brag about Husband's origins at Tech, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering in 1980.
The astronaut took the T-shirt up on his first space shuttle mission in 1999 at the request of Tech's chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a group to which he belonged while at the university, said Dr. Jerry Dunn, associate chair of the Department of Engineering. Husband and his crewmates from the space shuttle mission signed the shirt.
"He presented it to ASME in a ceremony that obviously was very exciting to our students," Dunn said.
Retired mechanical engineering professor Dr. Duane Jordan and former department chairman Dr. James Lawrance were set to watch the January launch of Husband's final mission until a death in the Lawrance family prevented them from attending.
Watching the news of Columbia's demise "was a blow," Jordan said.
"I remembered him as very laid-back, a very pleasant person that did well in the two classes I had him," Jordan said. "I've gotten to know him probably better in the last 10 years than back then."
Husband, who received the 1980 Outstanding Engineering Student Award at Tech, expressed a lot of zeal for his work, Lawrance said.
"It's a shame to lose somebody who had that much enthusiasm and enjoyed what they're doing so much," he said Saturday. "This is a sad day for the United States and for his family and for Amarillo and for Texas Tech."
Tech In Space
Col. Rick Husband of Amarillo graduated from Texas Tech in 1980.
Two other NASA astronauts also earned degrees at Tech:
n Lt. Col. Paul Lockhart, born in Amarillo, graduated from Tech in 1978. Has flown on two shuttle missions, the most recent aboard Endeavor in 2002.
n Dr. Bernard Harris, M.D., born in Temple, graduated from Tech's medical school in 1982. The first black astronaut to walk in space, Harris flew on Columbia and in Spacelab and was part of a rendezvous with the Russian Mir Space Station. He was on the Tech board of regents.
Source: NASA
Dunn said: "He was always willing to meet with our students - a very personable individual, down to earth, and he related very well to our students, and they with him."
Husband's travels to Lubbock included a trip in 1996, when he was named Distinguished Engineer of the College of Engineering, Dunn said.
"The university will forever be very proud of what he accomplished and the fact that he represented our department and Texas Tech well in his chosen career," Dunn said.

I want to know if it is possible to remove the theme pages in a way that even if someone was to update the theme, the parent theme files will not be implemented again?
At this stage, I have only three template files I want my client to have access to and want to be able to make sure that should they update the theme without my knowing, the new template files will not be restored?
Thank you.
