I have the worst case of writer's block. I don't know what to say. I feel like Tim is going to tell me, any minute, that he's finished what he's doing and we need to go, so I can't focus on what I'm writing because I keep thinking, we're about to drive to the grocery store and we also need toilet paper and I can't forget to set my alarm clock for tomorrow morning at 5:30 a.m.! It's Thursday night, the one night this week when we haven't had something going on, and what was supposed to be a relaxing evening at home has turned into a nonstop day that continued into a nonstop night, and it's 8:30 p.m., we're only now about to go to the store, and I still haven't written a blog post. Part of the busy schedule this week has been, get this, because of food. In a strange turn of events, we ended up with three CSA boxes in the last two weeks, giving us bushel and bushel and bushel full of fresh food, all of which we needed to do something with so as to avoid the one thing I absolutely do … [Read more...]

Kale Mashed Potatoes + September in Nashville
Tim went away for a work trip last week, just for two days really, but all the way to New York, putting him not only out of state but also in a different time zone, for the first night (and nights) we have ever been apart since we got married. It wasn't something we looked forward to, upcoming nights apart like these, and, leading up to the trip, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel dread (or that I didn't say to him, when I dropped him off at the airport, "Do you think it's too late to cancel?," both of us laughing). It wasn't that I thought I'd be afraid at night or have nothing to do with myself or break down on the side of the road and not have him to call (OK, a little bit the last one, but only in the same way that I tend to imagine a plane going down once I get on it)---it was mostly that when you love someone, you want to be with them, and I love Tim. I feel really grateful to have him, and I know I've said that before, but I say it again because gratitude isn't the … [Read more...]
Homemade Mayonnaise and Garlic Aioli
"Mayonnaise is a food best made at home and almost never made at home. This has robbed us of something that is both healthy and an absolute joy to eat with gusto." Tamar Adler My favorite chapter in Tamar Adler's "An Everlasting Meal," was, hands down, "How to Teach an Egg to Fly," and before you click away because, this girl! she's always talking about Tamar Adler!, please bear with me because, I promise, I'm going somewhere good. So this chapter two of Tamar's book, the egg chapter, is 15 pages long and divided into six parts, each one dealing with a specific method in which to use an egg. She talks about boiled eggs, poached eggs, fried or scrambled, omelets, frittatas and, just when your mind is appropriately reeling, thinking of all the different things eggs can do, mayonnaise. Here is the part that hooked me: I keep my mayonnaise and aioli for two or three days in the refrigerator even though they contain raw eggs. I trust the freshness of my eggs, and the … [Read more...]
Outdoor Dinner at Home + Baby Kale Chips
Every time we visit Chicago, I wonder how long before it stops feeling like home. And while missing your family at 30 is not as popular as missing them your freshman year (anyone else cry with "Parenthood" last week?), the truth is that I still miss mine. I miss my dad's tender heart and my mom's loud giggle and my brother's ability to find the coolest new places and products everywhere he goes. My dad picks us up from the airport last Wednesday and we don't stop talking until we're in his garage, despite a 20-minute detour when we're so caught up in conversation that we miss our exit; my mom fills the fridge with food she knows we'll like; my brother sidekicks with us through dinner in Bucktown, shopping in the suburbs, late-night movies and TV. Sometimes the pain of missing them is so strong that the joy of these visits almost gets overshadowed, like I can't soak it up while awaiting another goodbye---but, for the first time, instead of feeling embarrassed about this … [Read more...]
Sunday Lunch with Louie Abellera + Gluten-Free Almond Cake
I have this photographer friend Louie. I met him through Becky, the friend who was with me the first time I met Tim, and I've been following his Tweets and Instagrams and blog ever since that one random afternoon sitting across from him at Burger King or McDonald's, watching him eat chicken nuggets, before the three of us went someplace else. Louie's a cool kid---I say kid because, people, Louie is all of 22, as in the age I was when I started grad school, the age at which the only things I'd ever published were local newspaper articles about book clubs and town meetings, the age when I didn't know much about cooking, much less about cooking and writing about it on a food blog. But Louie's 22 looks a lot different than mine did, and he's a crazy-good photographer shooting, get this, upwards of 20 weddings a year. So when he came into town last week from Chicago, asking for some help expanding his food portfolio, we were only too happy to have him over for our regular Sunday lunch with … [Read more...]
Panna Cotta with Figs and Honey
"You take two cups of milk and two cups of cream and warm it on the stove," Tim's saying to me from the dining room. I place our medium Le Creuset saucepan, the cream one with the handle, on the back burner. "OK, then what?" I call back to him. "Add ½ cup of Sucanat and stir until it dissolves." While the sugar combines with the milk and cream, I set out a bowl and fill it with six tablespoons of water, then toss five teaspoons of gelatin over the top. I return to the stove. A couple minutes and a few stirs later, the sugar's totally dissolved, and I remove the saucepan from the heat. I add vanilla extract and almond extract, stir, and pour the saucepan's contents into the gelatin-water bowl. Stir. Let it all dissolve. "Then I just pour it into the cups?" I say to Tim, thinking aloud that this has been too simple, wondering if we've somehow skipped a step. He's in the kitchen next to me now, right beside me while I divvy up the mixture, pour it into oiled ramekins and … [Read more...]
Poulet Sauté à la Paysanne Provençale + "My Berlin Kitchen"
If you'd been a fly on our kitchen walls this past week, you would have seen a lot of easy weeknight dinners going on. After we followed Tamar Adler's advice and, in one big batch of cooking, filled our fridge with jars and Pyrex packed with roasted eggplant, boiled potatoes, roasted yellow squash and so on, we then began the daily task of putting her strategy to the test. There were vegetables tossed with quinoa, vegetables inside morning omelettes, leftover vegetable hash pureed with milk and water until it became a hot and creamy bisque so comforting, I almost cried. Roasted eggplant became baba ganoush. Boiled potatoes turned into mashed, soft and creamy and studded with garlic. Preroasting all your produce is not for everyone (and not for every week), but this last week, as we've tried it, Tim and I have seen firsthand how simplifying the strategy can be in helping to make dinner every night. There are other things you'd see from your kitchen perch, too, though, like the failed … [Read more...]

My iPad javascript-based web-app is running rather slowly at times. Is there any way to profile the javascript code on a iPad?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The YUI Profiler is a js-only profiler that can grab the stats for you, you can then toss it back to your desktop machine to view it with flash charting:
If you have access to an Android phone, you can profile your application using desktop Chrome's developer tools and a USB cable (very convenient).
Android and iPhone behave+perform similarly, but not identically. That said, for 90% of use cases, if you improve performance on Android, you'll see the same improvements on iPhone.
It'll require Chrome, an Android device able to run the android Chrome app, and a USB cable.
You have to install and use the ADB console command, but once its working, you'll have the full chrome developer tools interface available for debugging mobile.

What's wrong? by madFusion15Watch
©2008-2016 madFusion15
practice. i don't know where i was going with this one. what do you think of it?
I love the corner borders. Do you mind if I use this for one of my pictures?
Never believe three dots!
thats what my girfriend says to me...
I like the grunge style and the font selection is perfect. good idea !
Overall, well done, just to go with the whole idea and feel of it, I'd think the edges wouldn't be so clean (straight lines). That might add to the effect.
i did some blurring to the edges of the type but it's the only part that stands out to me. i am satisfied with the corner decorations though. thanks for your input

You might not notice it just yet, but the UK has become the latest country to introduce plain, standardised packaging of cigarettes, along with Australia and France. The switch follows a landmark 'yes' vote in the House of Commons just over a year ago that saw MPs from all parties take a stand against tobacco marketing. And following a final failed legal challenge tobacco companies are no longer allowed to manufacture glitzy packs that evidence shows act as a 'silent salesman' to children. Here's how packs will change:
If the government wants to improve patient access it should invest in this; in allowing community pharmacies to help, instead of closing 'potentially' a quarter of them. Instead of being forced to go to your GP you can walk in to the pharmacist with no appointment and be seen, in most cases, immediately.
The low number of black and mixed race people signed to the UK stem cell register is sadly a reoccurring pattern. For example, the number of black or mixed race individuals who are active blood donors across England and North Wales is less than 1%.
Remaining alcohol free for a month is an achievement, which deserves to be rewarded, but compensatory drinking is not what Dry January is trying to advocate. A healthy attitude towards consumption (not necessarily total abstinence) is something which should be practiced during every month of the year to reap lasting health benefits.
Europe is facing an obesity crisis of epidemic proportions, one that threatens to overwhelm the EU's already struggling economies and place a tremendous burden on its healthcare systems. Data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicates that the proportion of those who are overweight or obese will rise substantially in the EU over the next decade if the issue is not tackled.

It's just not good enough to hide behind the taboos - we get the idea from well known advertisements (for example, those that promote periods as a beautiful blue liquid) that it's all, well, just a bit TOO scary. But this attitude, this inability to really look squarely at womanhood and say 'yes, we have PERIODS, we bleed', it comes at a pretty huge cost.
The Assisted Dying Bill seeks to establish the principle that terminally ill people can be afforded choice and dignity whilst reducing suffering for dying people who want to control how and when they die. It merits support from all sides.
People who are able to make decisions for themselves already have the right to do so in all other aspects of their healthcare. Campaigners argue that to refuse access to assisted dying is to deny our fundamental right to self determination. Parliament has a duty however, to balance the rights of the individual against the wider impact on others and to consider the unintended harms as well as the benefits.
I always had a very basic view of how infectious diseases work: our bodies are normally clean and free of 'bad bugs', then we touch a door handle with all of those brightly coloured rods on it (as beautifully demonstrated in those Dettol adverts) , then we get ill. But is it really as simple as this?
Traditional health and adjacent business will be affected, shaped and in some case redefined. We all stand to win from this revolution which could make ageing a lot more fun than it is for many older adults today. The future really is in our hands.
Every year, three million children are exposed to second hand smoke in a car. And every week, 200 of these children are made so unwell that they have to visit their GP with health complaints that are entirely preventable.
Over the 40 years that I have been a doctor I have noticed that 'textbook' presentations of disease are becoming rarer. For example we have all come across stories of the healthiest of people succumbing to heart attacks whilst on the squash court. The same applies to cancer.
It has not yet been a month since the General Election and only a week has passed since the Queen's speech. Yet the reality of things to come under a Conservative majority government is already clear and it's the future of our NHS that concerns me the most.

Dynamically load content in TabPanel with single call
Hi everyone, I've started using your fantastic library a week ago and I find it very powerful but I have problem now that I can't resolve.
I have a Tree and each time I click on a node or a leaf I subit a request to my server wich returns me many data that I must divide in some tabs in a tab panel on the same page.
I've managed to fetch data via the TabPanel.load function and tried in various ways to divide the it in tabs, but with no result.
Can you please tell me what should be the best way to do it?
Depending on the kind of the nodes I click I can even have some differences in the number and content of the tabs, if possible I would prefer to create the tab structure server side and pass it to the browser, to reduce the amount of js and to be able to change the number/content of the tabs at any time.
Thank you very much in advance!!!!
14 Apr 2009 7:38 AM #2
I would like to specify that for me would be a big problem (really) to do a request to fill each and every tab, I really need to get all the data at once.
Since I create the data it can be either json or full html (html would maybe be better because I would be able to put other Ext code inside it to handle forms etc..)
thanks again!

Last week, I took a look at five players who should be trending downward on the Player Rater through the rest of the season. As I am an optimist at heart, this week should be more fun. Here are some players you might want to try to trade for as soon as you can.
These guys may not be lighting the world on fire quite yet -- they may, in fact, be highly disappointing so far -- but they will be important fantasy options down the stretch and will finish significantly higher on the Player Rater than they are currently ranked. As always, it's important to base any decisions on the makeup of your roster, but overall value is a good place to start looking.
(Current rankings in parentheses based on per-game averages on Player Rater)
Al Jefferson, PF/C, Utah Jazz (46): Jefferson used to be a top-20 fantasy player and he's only 25 years old, so maybe it's not really a stretch to say the ceiling is higher than where he's currently ranked. Still, he might be losing some value of late (at least where consensus opinion is concerned) because of the fact that he's shooting only 47 percent for the season from the floor (and a miserable 41 percent so far in December). What's important, though, is that his shooting is pretty much the only flaw right now. He's blocking more shots, yes, but he also seems to be finding his way in the offense of late; he's seen upticks in his offensive rebounds and assists during December as well. His free throw shooting has certainly been a boon as well; I wouldn't suggest that he'll continue to shoot 85 percent for the rest of the season, but it's reasonable, I think, to expect him to remain above the league average, giving you value in a category you'd have never expected. My guess is that very soon, Big Al starts to look like the player who has hovered around 50 percent from the floor for his whole career, and when that happens, his fantasy value is going to go up significantly.
Danilo Gallinari, SF/PF, New York Knicks (60): Gallinari is, in many ways, having a better season this year than he did in his breakout season last year. Unfortunately, his fantasy numbers are worse, and there are a few reasons. For one thing, he was providing at least a tiny amount of value in steals and blocks last season, averaging 0.9 and 0.7 respectively. For another thing, he was attempting almost one more 3-pointer per game last season, even though he was also shooting a higher percentage from the floor overall. Right now, he's showing no signs of picking up his defensive numbers; that's discouraging, but his contributions last season were so slight that it wouldn't take much more than a few lucky plays to move the needle a bit. Where he is improving is as a shooter. He started off the season miserably, shooting 21 percent from the floor in his first three games, but in December, he's hitting 42 percent from the floor and a strong 41 percent from behind the 3-point line. If he can keep that shooting up (and there's no reason to believe he can't) -- coupled with the fact that he's getting to the line a lot and making nearly all of his free throws -- he's going to start averaging more points and his fantasy value is going to skyrocket.
Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers (93): In all of fantasy basketball, no number feels as weird as Griffin's ranking as the 93rd most valuable player. In the stats many tend to pay attention to most -- points and rebounds -- he's dominant. What's killing his ranking, of course, is his terrible free throw shooting, which is actually getting worse each month. So why be optimistic? Well, Griffin is improving in almost every other area, many of them very important in fantasy. He's averaging 4.0 assists per game so far in December, which, as you know, is a ton of assists for someone who puts up the kind of rebounding numbers he does (making him more similar to Pau Gasol than, say, Zach Randolph). He's also averaging 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in December, and although neither of those numbers is so great that you'd be excited about it on its own, both are helpful enough that he'll be a top-60 player very soon if he keeps them up. Yes, he's going to keep killing your free throw percentage, but if you have a team that's strong in that area or a team that's punting that category already, Griffin's the best trade target out there for you.
Vince Carter, SG/SF, Orlando Magic (103): This will be the first positive thing I've ever written about Vince in this space, but that's what happens when you try to be optimistic. I think what's happening is that we're starting to reach the point where Vince's production has fallen off far enough from his usual levels that people are forgetting he does anything at all. Without question, he's been a disappointment based on where he was taken in most drafts, and that's not something I see changing, but at this point of the season we need to forget about where guys were drafted. No one dislikes Vince more than I do, but even I will concede that it won't be difficult for him to produce like a top-75 player for the remainder of the season. Consider that in December he's averaging 17.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists to go along with one steal per game. Those are extremely good numbers which, though far off his career averages, are good enough to help you in fantasy. If you're worried about J.J. Redick stealing minutes, don't. Carter is playing only 30 minutes per game as it is, and can play enough of both shooting guard and small forward that it's hard to imagine his minutes varying that much (especially with Rashard Lewis struggling and Brandon Bass playing well). I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you can deal someone who has been overachieving like Shannon Brown, Mike Dunleavy, D.J. Augustin or Landry Fields for Carter (even if those four guys are far more likeable), you'll come out ahead in the long run.
O.J. Mayo, SG, Memphis Grizzlies (165): Things have hit rock bottom for Mayo, and while I think he was an overrated fantasy player to begin with, he's not as bad as he's looked. In his past two games, he's taken 10 or more shots after not doing that in almost two weeks, and the fact that he played 29 minutes in the Grizzlies' win against the Trail Blazers Monday night is key for his future prospects. Although he's shooting nearly the same percentage on 3-pointers this season as he always does, he's been way off on 2-pointers everywhere but right at the rim (according to hoopdata.com). Considering how low his value is right now, I'd be willing to take the chance that his percentages will come back up and he'll work his way back into a very meaningful role for the Grizzlies. I'd be willing to trade any of the guys I suggested trading for Carter to get Mayo, and will be very surprised if he's not a top-100 player in the next couple of months. He was drafted very high, so it's possible his owners will want to just hold onto him, but if you can get him for his current value, he'll be a steal.

Here is what you should know when a network or station owner threatens to take away your favorite channels.
Network & Station Fees
Suddenlink pays programmers (network or station owners) a fee per channel, per month, per customer. When contracts come to an end, we negotiate new agreements, and most of the time, you never hear about them. But sometimes, a programmer will demand a significant increase in its monthly fees. In those cases, we believe it's our responsibility to take a stand and help protect you from excessive increases.
Temporary Loss of a TV Station or Cable Network
Suddenlink does not take TV channels away from you during contract disputes. Only the channel owner can do that.
In negotiations with TV providers, channel owners will sometimes deny you access to their programming and then blame your TV provider. That tactic is an attempt to frustrate you, and then have you complain or even switch to another provider. But the real motive behind it is to help the channel owner extract huge fee increases, which will drive your bill even higher.
When programming disputes occur, channel owners sometimes spend millions of dollars on newspaper ads, TV and radio commercials that tell you what you could lose if your provider were to disconnect you from certain channels. But remember, at Suddenlink, we will gladly keep channels under our current contract, while we negotiate, until a new contract is in place. The decision about whether or not to allow channels to stay on during negotiations is entirely in the hands of the channel owners.
Understanding channel owners' motives when they start a dispute or ask you to switch providers is the first step to keeping more of your money in your pocket where it belongs.
Switching Is Not The Answer
Regrettably, none of the major TV service providers are immune from programming disputes or blackouts, and that goes for Internet providers, too. As long as TV channel owners feel they can stop the flow of programming without any accountability, everyone suffers – most of all you. In the first half of 2012 alone, programmers blacked out loyal viewers more than 60 times, and that number continues to increase. Even top broadcast officials now admit these interruptions are anti-consumer, and pressure continues to mount in Washington to stop this behavior.
Suddenlink Is On Your Side
By holding firm in our negotiations, we've held our annual price increases, on average, between 3 and 5%, which is well below the level that many channel owners demand during negotiations. Some channel owners are asking for 20%, 30%, 50%, or even higher increases in what they're paid – and often for the exact same set of channels. Imagine the impact on your household budget, if we accepted these excessive demands for just one channel, let alone all the channels we offer.

Hi all,
A few days ago Google and my hosting provider sent me a message that my site may contain malicious code. I found out that in each post there is a script that opens an iframe and loads a page on some domain in India but the page won't even load. My question is how do I remove this script from all the posts? I know it can be done with SQL commands but I'm too unfamiliar with them to do it. Also, will removing this script fix the issue? Or is there a bigger issue... since I don't have a clue how it got in there. I run the latest version, have no plugins, and only made a basic theme. I found the script in the wp_posts table in the post_content field. Here is the script, and thanks a lot for your help!!

Volume 104, Issue 8, 15 October 2008
An extensive review is given of the results from literature on electron beam induced deposition.Electron beam induced deposition is a complex process, where many and often mutually dependent factors are involved. The process has been studied by many over many years in many different experimental setups, so it is not surprising that there is a great variety of experimental results. To come to a better understanding of the process, it is important to see to which extent the experimental results are consistent with each other and with the existing model. All results from literature were categorized by sorting the data according to the specific parameter that was varied (current density, acceleration voltage, scan patterns, etc.). Each of these parameters can have an effect on the final deposit properties, such as the physical dimensions, the composition, the morphology, or the conductivity. For each parameter-property combination, the available data are discussed and (as far as possible) interpreted. By combining models for electron scattering in a solid, two different growth regimes, and electron beam induced heating, the majority of the experimental results were explained qualitatively. This indicates that the physical processes are well understood, although quantitatively speaking the models can still be improved. The review makes clear that several major issues remain. One issue encountered when interpreting results from literature is the lack of data. Often, important parameters (such as the local precursor pressure) are not reported, which can complicate interpretation of the results. Another issue is the fact that the cross section for electron induced dissociation is unknown. In a number of cases, a correlation between the vertical growth rate and the secondary electron yield was found, which suggests that the secondary electrons dominate the dissociation rather than the primary electrons. Conclusive evidence for this hypothesis has not been found. Finally, there is a limited understanding of the mechanism of electron induced precursor dissociation. In many cases, the deposit composition is not directly dependent on the stoichiometric composition of the precursor and the electron induced decomposition paths can be very different from those expected from calculations or thermal decomposition. The dissociation mechanism is one of the key factors determining the purity of the deposits and a better understanding of this process will help develop electron beam induced deposition into a viable nanofabrication technique.
Metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy of crystallographically oriented MnP magnetic nanoclusters embedded in GaP(001)104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2992558View Description Hide Description
Hybrid ferromagnetic-semiconductor GaP:MnP thin films were grown at by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on GaP(001) using trimethylgallium, tertiarybutylphosphine, and methyl cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MCTMn). Overall Mn concentrations in the hybrid films, determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, were found to be nearly proportional to the MCTMn precursor gas flow rate and ranged from 2 to . Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy(TEM) analyses revealed the presence of a homogeneous distribution of 15–30 nm wide nanoclusters in a dislocation-free GaP matrix that is fully coherent with the substrate. The nanocluster facets are predominantly aligned along the (220) planes of the GaP matrix and selected-area electron diffraction patterns in TEM indicate that the nanoclusters are coherent (or semicoherent) with the single-crystal GaP matrix. The Mn:P composition ratio in the nanoclusters was determined to be from parallel electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses. Increasing the MCTMn flow rate during film growth resulted in an increased concentration of MnP nanoclusters in the epilayer while their dimensions remained virtually unchanged. Magnetometric characterization indicates a ferromagnetic order, with a Curie temperature of about 294 K, originating from the MnP clusters.
Two dimensional mesoscale simulations of projectile instability during penetration in dry sand104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2999391View Description Hide Description
To gain insight into the instability and trajectory change in projectiles penetrating dry sand at high velocities, two dimensional plane strain mesoscale simulations were carried out using representative models of a particulate system and of a small projectile. A program, ISP-SAND, was developed and used to generate the representative particulate system with mean grain sizes of 60 and as well as uniform size distribution from the mean. Target porosities ranged from 30% to 40%. The penetration of ogive nose steel projectiles with caliber radius head of 3.5 and length-to-diameter ratio of 3.85 was simulated using the updated Lagrangian explicit parallel finite element code ISP-TROTP. Deformation of the projectile and individual sand grains was analyzed using a nonlinear elastic-inelastic model for these materials. Grain-grain and grain-projectile interactions were analyzed using a contact algorithm with and without friction. Projectile instability was quantified and compared using the lateral displacement of the center of mass, lateral force acting on the projectile, and its rotational momentum about the center of mass. The main source of projectile instability and the ensuing trajectory change in the penetration simulations was found to be the inhomogeneous loading of the projectile due to the heterogeneities and randomness inherent in a particulate media like sand. The granularity of the media has not been considered explicitly in previous work. Projectile instability increased with impact velocity, as expected. However, it also increased for the case of elastic impactor that preserved the nose shape, with an increase in grain size, and for uniform grain sizes. Moreover, friction, inherently present in geologicmaterials, was found to be a major contributor to instability. Conclusions derived from one projectile depth simulations were confirmed by two deeper penetration simulations considering up to three full lengths of penetration (requiring a larger sand target). The deep penetration simulation predicted considerable instability with a trajectory change of approximately when friction was considered in the dry sand medium. An overall conclusion of this work is that projectile penetration studies in geologicmaterials need to explicitly consider the heterogeneous or particulate nature of these materials.
Interfacial thermal conductance between silicon and a vertical carbon nanotube104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000441View Description Hide Description
Molecular simulations are used to evaluate thermal resistance between crystalline silicon and a vertically oriented carbon nanotube(CNT). Without chemical bonds between CNT and Si the thermal resistance is high and its values are consistent with that measured in experiment on vertical CNT arrays. With chemical bonds the thermal resistance is reduced by two orders of magnitude demonstrating significant potential of CNT arrays for thermal management applications. The underlying mechanism for the very large effect of chemical bonding is revealed by simulations of individual phonon scattering across the interface and understood within an analytical solution of a simple spring-mass chain model.
Light emission properties and mechanism of low-temperature prepared amorphous films. I. Room-temperature band tail states photoluminescence104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2996292View Description Hide Description
A room-temperature photoluminescence(PL) study of amorphous nonstoichiometric silicon nitride films prepared under low temperature is reported. PL peak position can be tuned from 1.90 to 2.90 eV by adjusting the film composition. The luminescence lifetime is within the nanosecond range. The dependence of the PL lifetime on the emission energy suggests that band tail states are involved in the thermalization and recombination of photon-generated carriers. This is further supported by the correlation between the optical band gap, the PL peak energy, and the width of the PL spectrum. We propose that optical transitions among band tail states are the main light emission mechanisms.
Light emission properties and mechanism of low-temperature prepared amorphous films. II. Defect states electroluminescence104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2996299View Description Hide Description
In this paper, we present a room-temperature electroluminescence(EL) study of amorphous nonstoichiometric silicon nitride films. The light-emitting device is formed by an -type silicon structure. EL shows a yellowish broad emission spectrum with a power efficiency of . The EL peak energy depends on the bias voltage rather than on the silicon content in . By fitting the current-voltage characteristic with existing models, we found that under high voltages the Poole–Frenkel hole conduction is the main carrier transport mechanism in these devices. Injected electrons are captured by silicondangling bonds ( center) and recombine with holes, which are localized in valence band tail states. Unbalanced hole and electron injection and nonradiative recombination are the main constraints on the EL efficiency of .
High-pressure x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra study of indium oxide104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2999369View Description Hide Description
High-pressure synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements of indium oxide were carried out at room temperature up to 27.8 and 26.2 GPa, respectively. A pressure-induced phase transition from cubic-phase was observed at a pressure above 12.8–15.3 GPa, which disagrees with earlier theoretical prediction (3.8 GPa). According to the x-ray diffraction experimental data, the high-pressure phase is isostructural with hexagonal corundum-type structure ( symmetry). However, broad peaks observed in Raman spectra suggest that the high-pressure structure is disordered. The volume change from cubic phase to corundum phase is about 4% and the axial ratio in the corundum phase decreases with increasing pressure.
High angle annular dark field and electron energy loss spectroscopy study on the substitution and distribution of cobalt in ZnO by multilayer growth104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000450View Description Hide Description
Co-doped ZnOfilms were synthesized by ion beam sputtering using multilayer (ZnO/Co) growth. Both the distribution and the chemical states of Co in ZnO can be well controlled by varying the ratio of the nominal layer thickness of ZnO to Co. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that all of the as-deposited films were polycrystalline with a (0002) preferred orientation. The local microstructures and chemical states were identified by -contrast imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy. In ZnO (1.5 nm)/Co (0.1 nm), homogeneous Co-doped ZnO was observed to have been formed through interdiffusion. However, decreasing or increasing the thickness of ZnO leads to the formation of Co clusters in the ZnO matrix or multilayers, respectively. For ZnO, Co is substituted for Zn, and its valence state is . All Co-doped ZnOfilms show room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior, which appears to depend strongly on the Co distribution.
Growth-interruption-induced low-density InAs quantum dots on GaAs104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000483View Description Hide Description
We investigate the use of growth interruption to obtain low-density InAs quantum dots(QDs) on GaAs. The process was realized by Ostwald-type ripening of a thin InAs layer. It was found that the optical properties of the QDs as a function of growth interruption strongly depend on InAs growth rate. By using this approach, a low density of QDs with uniform size distribution was achieved. As compared to QDs grown without growth interruption, a larger energy separation between the QD confined levels was observed, suggesting a situation closer to the ideal zero-dimensional system. Combining with an InGaAs capping layer such as In-rich QDs enable 1.3 μm emission at 4 K.
Phase transitions and isothermal equations of state of epsilon hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20)104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2990066View Description Hide Description
The phase stability of epsilon hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane at high pressure and temperature was investigated using synchrotron angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments. The samples were compressed at room temperature using a Merrill–Bassett diamond anvil cell. For high-temperature compression experiments a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell developed by Bassett was used. Pressures and temperatures of around 5 GPa and , respectively, were achieved. The epsilon phase was determined to be stable under ambient pressure to a temperature of . A phase transition to the gamma phase was seen at and the gamma phase remained stable until thermal decomposition above . Pressure-volume data for the epsilon phase at ambient and were fitted to the Birch–Murnaghan formalism to obtain isothermal equations of state.
Effect of the growth temperature and the AlN mole fraction on In incorporation and properties of quaternary III-nitride layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2999564View Description Hide Description
Indium incorporation into wurtzite (0001)-oriented layers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was studied as a function of the growth temperature and the AlN mole fraction . The layer stoichiometry was determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS).RBS shows that indium incorporation decreased continuously with increasing growth temperature due to thermally enhanced dissociation of In–N bonds and for increasing AlN mole fractions. High resolution x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) measurements did not show evidence of phase separation. The mosaicity of the quaternary layers was found to be mainly determined by the growth temperature and independent on alloy composition within the range studied. However, depending on the AlN mole fraction, nanometer-sized composition fluctuations were detected by TEM.Photoluminescence spectra showed a single broad emission at room temperature, with energy and bandwidth S- and W-shaped temperature dependences typical of exciton localization by alloy inhomogeneities. Cathodoluminescence measurements demonstrated that the alloy inhomogeneities, responsible of exciton localization, occur on a lateral length scale below 150 nm, which is corroborated by TEM.
Experimental investigation of the variation of the absorption coefficient with nitrogen content in GaAsN and GaInAsN grown on GaAs (001)104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000451View Description Hide Description
We have measured the absorption coefficient at the fundamental band edge in and alloys. In contrast to what is observed in most III-V semiconductors, the absorption coefficient of Ga(In)AsN increases when the band gapenergy decreases. In the alloys, the absorption coefficient at threshold saturates near , whereas the absorption coefficient of the layers shows no sign of saturation for . Furthermore, the value of the absorption coefficient at threshold is higher for layers than for indium-free films with the same nitrogen content, a result opposite to what is observed for the nitrogen-free GaInAs alloy. The comparison of our results with calculations performed using the formalism suggests that the proper description of the optical properties of Ga(In)AsN alloys must go beyond the effective mass approximation.
Delta-doping optimization for high quality -type GaN104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000564View Description Hide Description
Delta doping is studied in order to achieve high quality -type GaN. Atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and Hall measurements are performed on the samples to optimize the -doping characteristics. The effect of annealing on the electrical, optical, and structural quality is also investigated for different -doping parameters. Optimized pulsing conditions result in layers with hole concentrations near and superior crystal quality compared to conventional -GaN. This material improvement is achieved thanks to the reduction in the Mgactivation energy and self-compensation effects in -doped -GaN.
Shock response of a gamma titanium aluminide104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000465View Description Hide Description
Potential use of alloys in aerospace and other structural applications require knowledge of their impact behavior for better evaluation and modeling. In the present study plate impact experiments are conducted using a single-stage gas gun to better understand the shock behavior of the recently developed class of gamma titanium aluminide alloys—the Gamma-Met PX. The Gamma-Met PX showed superior shock properties when compared to the conventional titanium aluminide alloys. The spall strength of Gamma-Met PX is , which is four to six times higher than those reported for other gamma titanium aluminide alloys. Moreover, it has a Hugoniot elastic limit of 1.88 GPa at a target thickness of 3.86 mm, which drops to 1.15 GPa at target thickness of 15.8 mm. The decay in the elastic precursor is continuous without showing an asymptote to a constant level within the range of target thicknesses studied.
Visual observation of dissociation of methane hydrate crystals in a glass micro model: Production and transfer of methane104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000622View Description Hide Description
Dissociation of methane hydrate crystals in pore space caused by temperature increase or depressurization, which is one of the main concerns in developing techniques to exploit natural gases in clathrate hydrate in sediments, was observed by using a glass mimic of sediments. Hydrate crystals were formed at a system temperature of and system pressure of or and and then decomposed by increasing the system temperature to 289 or 290 K, respectively. Two experimental runs of depressurization were also conducted. Hydrate crystals formed at and or and were decomposed by depressurization to 1.7 or 0.5 MPa at a system temperature of 285.5 or 274.3 K. The glass mimic of sediments (glass micromodel) was composed of a quartz glass plate on which straight microchannels were carved and another quartz glass plate covering the microchannels. The microchannels were approximately rectangular in cross section with a top width of and were arranged in a grid pattern at regular intervals of . Methane gas released from dissociating methane hydrate crystals was commonly observed to form slugs that completely occupy the pores in all experiment runs. The mechanism of the dissociation of the methane hydrate crystals was discussed considering the heat and mass transfer of methane around the dissociating methane hydrate crystals.
Measurement of anisotropic fracture energies in periodic templated silica/polymer composite coatings104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2977678View Description Hide Description
We report measurements of the fracture energies of hexagonal honeycomb structured silica/polymer composite films that were produced through an evaporation induced self-assembly process. These films exhibit large anisotropy with their hexagonal pore axes aligned with the dip-coating direction. The experimental strategy included depositing films onto a flexible Kapton substrate and then straining them, in situ, under a microscope. To study the effect of the anisotropic microstructure on the fracture energy, cracks were propagated both parallel and perpendicular to the cylindrical pore axis directions. For both cases, the geometries of the evolving crack patterns with loading were micrographically recorded and the desired energy release rates were calculated using a two-dimensional steady-state channeling crack model. The model was implemented using the ANSYS finite element program. The experimental observations showed significant inelastic film deformation prior to crack propagation. These deformations were fully captured in the model, with properties obtained directly from the experiments. The calculated energy release rates were for the parallel direction and for the perpendicular direction. These numbers are significantly larger than the bulk silica value of roughly , indicating the role of the local nanostructure in blunting and deflecting the crack tips. Experimental validation of the highly anisotropic energy release rates was obtained through transmission electron microscopy images of fractured films.
Biaxial stress-dependent optical band gap, crystalline, and electronic structure in wurtzite ZnO: Experimental and ab initio study104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000601View Description Hide Description
The relationship between band gap and biaxial stress in wurtzite ZnOthin films has been investigated by side-inclination x-ray diffraction technique and optical absorbance spectrum as well as ab initio calculation. The experimental result shows that differing from other semiconductor thin films with hexagonal structure, such as GaN, the band gap of ZnOthin films increases with the increase in biaxial tensile stress. For explaining the difference, ab initio calculation is performed to simulate the relationship between band gap and biaxial stress of wurtzite ZnO and GaN. The calculated result indicates that the band gap of ZnO increases under biaxial tensile stress but GaN is opposite, supporting our experimental result. The band offset calculation shows that the conduction-band minimum (CBM) and the valence-band maximum (VBM) of ZnO and GaN offset to low energy under biaxial tensile stress. The VBM offset of ZnO is larger than the CBM, responsible for the increase in band gap. The VBM offset of GaN is smaller than the CBM, responsible for the decrease in band gap. The difference between ZnO and GaN is attributed to the strong coupling in valence band of ZnO, but strong coupling in valence band of GaN.
Structure and surface morphology of vapor deposited polycarbonate thin films104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3000659View Description Hide Description
Amorphous thin poly(bisphenol A carbonate) films are prepared on Si, , GaAs, and spin cast polycarbonate substrates by condensation from vapor. Surface morphologies are investigated using scanning force microscopy with focus on the substrate-film interface formation. Except for polycarbonate substrates, where smooth surfaces are observed for all film thicknesses, a change from rough discontinuous surfaces for very thin films to smooth homogeneous surfaces for thicker films appears due to dewetting effects. Utilizing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, size-exclusion chromatography, and mass spectrometry, we find that the bond topology stays mostly intact during evaporation, while the molecular weight as well as the chain length is reduced.
Photoluminescence from Si nanocrystals exposed to a hydrogen plasma104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3002913View Description Hide Description
Si nanocrystals embedded in films were exposed to an atomic H plasma at different temperatures. Photoluminescence intensity from the nanocrystals increases with increasing exposure time, followed by saturation that depends on the exposure temperature. The saturation level depends on the final exposure temperature and shows no dependence on the thermal history of exposure. This behavior is shown to be consistent with a model in which the steady-state passivation level is determined by a balance between defect passivation and depassivation by H, with the activation energy for the passivationreaction being larger than that for the depassivation reaction.
Low-energy ordered structures of104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3003067View Description Hide Description
The Li–Mg–N–H system has been identified as a promising hydrogen storagematerial due to its moderate operation conditions as well as the high capacity and reversibility. Recently Rijssenbeek et al. [J. Alloys Compd.454, 233 (2008)] reported that has disordered cation and vacancy arrangements at room temperature and above. We present our first-principles calculations to investigate a series of ordered low-energy configurations for this compound. Specific local orderings are found in the cation-vacancy arrangement, shedding light on the experimental disordered structure models. A possible ordered phase at low temperature is proposed based on these local orderings. Reaction energetics and phase stability are further discussed.
Shock-induced bct-bcc transition and melting of tin identified by sound velocity measurements104(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3003325View Description Hide Description
A direct reverse-impact configuration together with the velocity interferometer system for any reflector was utilized to accurately measure longitudinal and bulk sound velocities of tin under shock compression. Shock-induced bct-bcc transition and melting of tin were identified based on the discontinuity of the longitudinal sound velocity against shock pressure, which were not previously revealed by Hugoniot and wave profile measurements. The transition pressures for bct to bcc phase and bcc to liquid phase were constrained to be and , respectively. The shear modulus and yield strength at loaded shock stresses were extracted from the measured sound velocities. A tentative phase diagram of tin was constructed by available experimental data and thermodynamic calculations, which was consistent with results from diamond anvil cell experiments and inconsistent with those from shock temperature measurements and molecular dynamic simulations.

The Texas A&M Aggies and the UCLA Bruins have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2016 and 2017, both schools announced today.
Texas A&M will host the first game of the series at Kyle Field in College Station on Sept. 3, 2016. The second and final game of the series will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Sept. 2, 2017.
"We are very pleased this series was able to come together and provides our program with an exciting, premier non-conference matchup against UCLA," Texas A&M Director of Athletics Eric Hyman stated. "UCLA brings one of the top programs from the West Coast to the redeveloped Kyle Field in Aggieland, and for our Aggie team and the 12th Man to have the chance to play in the Rose Bowl is a historic opportunity."
Texas A&M and UCLA have met four times on the football field with the series tied at two games each. In their last meeting in the 1998 Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl, the Bruins defeated the Aggies 29-23.
"Facing tough non-conference competition is a necessity with the new playoff system beginning this year," said UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero. "We are excited to add home-and-home series with both Texas A&M and San Diego State to a future schedule that already includes a traditional Big Ten/Pac-12 series with Rutgers."
Texas A&M now has three games scheduled for the 2016 season and two in 2017. After opening vs. UCLA in 2016, the Aggies host Louisiana Tech the following week and later host UTSA on Nov. 12.
In 2017, TAMU is slated to host New Mexico on Nov. 11.
UCLA has now completed both their 2016 and 2017 non-conference schedules. The Bruins also host UNLV and travel to Nevada in 2016, while in 2017 they host Hawaii and visit Memphis.
Football Schedules
If Sumlin and Mora are still at each respective school, this will be a great series.
Under Sumlin the Aggies have a poor record against top teams. The lone exceptions to the trend are the upset of Alabama in 2012 and the win over Big XII Champ Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl the same year. Entering their 3rd season with Sumlin the Aggies have yet to play a regular season non-conference game against another BCS conference team.
Even last season with Manziel they lost 4 games. How far will they fall without him? My guess is something like their perfromance from the last decade when they went 62-59.
What Christopher said if funny now. He's probably one who said A&M can't hang in the SEC.

Israel Shoots Down Drone As Clash With Hamas Continues
Exchanges of rockets and airstrikes continue between Israel and militants in Gaza, one week after violence broke out in the area. The Palestinian death toll is being reported at 172; no Israelis have reportedly died in the fighting.
From Haaretz:
"Since the start of the operation, more than 700 rockets have fallen within Israel. Only a fraction landed in urban regions. The Iron Dome, which is only meant to intercept rockets that are headed for such areas, has an 87 percent success rate."
Israel's military says it shot down a Hamas drone Monday; it is reportedly the first unmanned aircraft to play a role in the conflict. It was taken out by a Patriot missile near the southern city of Ashdod.
"Al-Qassam, the militant wing of Hamas, is claiming responsibility," NPR's Emily Harris reports from Gaza. "Al-Qassam said it was intended to record its victory as it flew over Israel. It promised more drones are coming."
Hear Emily Harris on 'Morning Edition'
The violence has continued despite the international community's increasing calls for a cease-fire. On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the conflict may last for a long time.
Israel's military has launched more than 1,300 airstrikes on Gaza and other areas since it announced Operation Protective Edge, an offensive sparked by tensions over the deaths of four teenagers: three Israelis and one Palestinian, who was seemingly killed as retribution for the other youths' deaths.
On Sunday, more than 15,000 people fled part of Gaza, fearing a full-on assault.
"Israel dropped leaflets over some Gaza neighborhoods telling people to clear out," NPR's Ari Shapiro reports from Jerusalem. "Thousands of people fled their homes to the south of Gaza, which seems to be safer."
Ari Shapiro on 'Morning Edition'
Hundreds of others who hold foreign passports were evacuated as part of the reaction to the military's warning. But, as Ari reports, a large-scale assault never materialized.
"Israel said the onslaught was coming sometime after noon Sunday," Ari says. "Then ... nothing. There was one small ground incursion yesterday morning. It was the first time Israel's military landed in Gaza. But it did not last long, and it was not followed by an all-out ground assault."
Reuters notes that there's no clear path to an end for the current violence.
"An Egyptian-mediated truce doused the last big Gaza flare-up, an eight-day war in 2012," the agency says. "Cairo is now again seeking calm, but its military-backed government is at odds with Islamist Hamas, complicating any mediation efforts."

This was a great place to stay in Fort Stockton while traveling for Business.
July 18, 2016
Great Staff, location okay, stayed only one night but very comfortable stay.
Easy to find
July 11, 2016
The price was right! We were disappointed not having a more complete warm breakfast. Other than that it was find.
Comfortable bed
July 10, 2016
Bed was very comfortable. Towels were very soft. Front office staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice pool and outside barbecue area. Definitely would recommend staying here.
