Von Neumann Algebras of Local Observables for Free Scalar Field5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704063View Description Hide Description
Basic properties of von Neumann algebras of local observables for the free scalar field are investigated. In particular, the duality theorem for regions at a fixed time is proved. It is also shown that von Neumann algebras for regions at a fixed time are factors of type II∞ or III∞. An argument which excludes the possibility of a factor of type I for a general class of theory and for a certain class of regions is given.
Stationary Entropy Principle and Renormalization in Normal and Superfluid Systems. I. Algebraic Formulation5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704062View Description Hide Description
This paper shows how the dynamical and thermodynamicalproperties of an interacting quantum mechanical system with many degrees of freedom may be expressed and calculated solely in terms of renormalized propagators and renormalized vertices or interactions. The formulation employed is sufficiently general to encompass systems which have several components, with Fermi or Bose statistics, whether or not they exhibit superfluidity or superconductivity. The process of renormalization is the functional generalization of the thermodynamic transformation from the chemical potential and temperature to the energy and matter densities. With each set of variables (here, functions) is associated a natural thermodynamic function (here a functional). The natural functional for the unrenormalized potentials which occur in the Hamiltonian is the logarithm of the grand partition function; the natural functional for the fully renormalized variables, the distribution functions, is the entropy. In particular, a stationarity principle for a functional F (2) of distribution functions subject to constraints is shown to provide a fully renormalized description of the system. The numerical value of this functional, at the stationarity point at which the distribution functions take their actual value, is the entropy of the system. The equations of stationarity are expressions for the unrenormalized ν‐body potentials v ν in terms of the ν′‐body distribution functionsG ν′. The functionals F (2) and v ν (of the distribution functionsG ν′) are expressed as the solutions of closed functional differential equations which may be used to generate their power‐series expansions. For a superfluid Bose system, as for the electromagnetic field interacting with matter, it is necessary to consider expectation values of odd, as well as even, numbers of field operators. In particular it is necessary to employ the expectation values G ν for 2ν = 1, 2, 3, 4 field operators. For a fermion system, even if it is superconducting, only the functions G ν for 2ν = 2, 4 are required. In contrast to other thermodynamical functionals, the entropy functional F (2) makes no reference to equilibrium parameters such as temperature and chemical potential.
Stationary Entropy Principle and Renormalization in Normal and Superfluid Systems. II. Diagrammatic Formulation5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704064View Description Hide Description
Quantum statistical mechanics is renormalized, that is, the thermodynamical functions and the ``bare'' ν‐body potentials v ν occurring in the Hamiltonian are expressed as functionals of the ν‐body distribution functionsG ν (the expectation values of 2ν field operators). The field operators are considered as having two components (creation and annihilation), and G ν thus has (2)2ν components. The renormalization is carried out for superfluid Bose systems for which it is necessary to consider the expectation values of 2ν = 1, 2, 3, 4 operators. Superfluid Fermi systems and normal systems appear as particular cases, described by expectation values of 2ν = 2, 4 operators.
This problem, dealt with by algebraic methods in part I, is attacked here by diagrammatic methods. These methods are more dependent on convergence properties but the resulting functionals are obtained explicitly as power series of the G ν′s, the general term being represented by a class of diagrams characterized by their topological structure.
In the final result, the entropy is exhibited as an explicit functional of the distribution functionsG ν, (2ν = 1, 2, 3, 4), or more precisely, of functions directly related to them. This functional no longer involves the potentials (nor the equilibrium parameters). It is stationary under independent variations of the G ν′s, subject to the constraints of constant energy and particle number. The four equations of stationarity exhibit each function v ν as a functional of the G ν′s, self‐consistently defining these distribution functions.
On the van der Waals Theory of the Vapor‐Liquid Equilibrium. III. Discussion of the Critical Region5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704065View Description Hide Description
The discussion of the properties of the Kac one‐dimensional fluid model presented in Parts I and II of this series of papers breaks down near the critical point. In Sec. II of the present paper we develop a new successive‐approximation method for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Kac integral equation which is valid in the critical region and which connects smoothly with the developments in the one‐ and two‐phase regions given in Part I. The perturbation parameter is (γδ)½ where γδ is the ratio of the ranges of the repulsive and attractive forces. The main physical consequence is that in the critical region the long‐range behavior of the two‐point distribution function is represented by an infinite series of decreasing exponentials with ranges all of order 1/γ(γδ)½, and with amplitudes of order (γδ)⅔. This leads to deviations from the Ornstein‐Zernike theory and to a specific heat anomaly which are discussed in Sec. V. We conclude with some comments on the possible relevance of our results for the three‐dimensional problem.
On the van der Waals Theory of the Vapor‐Liquid Equilibrium. IV. The Pair Correlation Function and Equation of State for Long‐Range Forces5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704066View Description Hide Description
A fluid where the pair interaction potential between the particles consists of a hard core and a weak attraction of long range is considered. The pair correlation function and the equation of state in the one‐phase region are calculated by a perturbation method with the ratio of the volume of the hard core to the interaction volume as perturbation parameter. The technique used is to expand the well‐known density expansion in this perturbation parameter, and finally resum to all orders in the density. To lowest order, the equation of state is of the van der Waals type, and the asymptotic behavior of the pair correlation function near the critical point is that described by the Ornstein‐Zernike theory. Higher approximations to these results are given.
Generalized Master Equations for the Density Matrix5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704067View Description Hide Description
Generalized master equations determining the time dependence of both diagonal and off‐diagonal density matrix elements are derived. The equations are valid for systems of arbitrary size and initial conditions, and have all the generality of the von Neumann equation for the density matrix. They are general enough for use in determining all higher‐order contributions to transport coefficients. Their advantage over the von Neumann equation is that they are in forms suited to reduction by time‐independent many‐body approximation techniques.
Applicability of the Pfaffian Method to Combinatorial Problems on a Lattice5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704068View Description Hide Description
For the solution of certain problems in statistical mechanics, a formulation in terms of the combinatorial problem of counting open or closed polygons drawn on a lattice has been found useful. The solution of such combinatorial problems has been given as a generating function which can be expressed as a Pfaffian. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given here to determine when such a Pfaffian representation is possible. If certain consistency conditions are satisfied, then the solution to the combinatorial problem can be written down immediately. The method makes some use of the ideas of emission and absorption operators for fermions.
Integral Representations for Vertex Functions5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704053View Description Hide Description
The third‐order Feynman graph is studied as a function of the three external masses squared for arbitrary real values of the internal masses. Single and double ``dispersion'' relations are derived which, for arbitrary real values of the undispersed variable(s), involve integrations only over real contours. Tables list the spectral functions for both the single and double integral formulas. In several cases, a non‐Landau singularity (on the forward scattering curve) appears on the ``physical sheet'', but not as a singularity of the physical boundary value.
Position and Polarization Operators in Relativistic and Nonrelativistic Mechanics5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704054View Description Hide Description
The author shows how the position operator and the polarization operator are obtained in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics from their equivalents in relativistic quantum mechanics. This problem is investigated with the aid of group methods; it is furthermore shown that the two operators cannot be studied separately.
Motion of Test Bodies in General Relativity5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704055View Description Hide Description
Two distributions in the sense of Schwartz are introduced to describe a test body. Papapetrou's equations for a pole‐dipole test body are derived in a coordinate‐independent manner. The supplementary condition S σμ U μ = 0 arises in a natural fashion in the course of the derivation. The method for treating test bodies with higher‐order poles is indicated.
Poles in Coupled Scattering Amplitudes5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704056View Description Hide Description
Elastic scattering amplitudes which have the analytic structure of the Mandelstam representation and which satisfy the unitarity condition and substitution law are severely restricted. Because of these restrictions, poles cannot occur independently and arbitrarily in amplitudes coupled by the unitarity condition. Instead, the locations and residues of poles in coupled amplitudes must satisfy the same relations as do poles in perturbation theory amplitudes.
Approach to a Phase Transition in a One‐Dimensional System5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704057View Description Hide Description
The manner in which a one‐dimensional system approaches a phase transition as the range of its attractive pairwise interactions becomes large is analyzed, as a continuation of studies on such systems by Kac, Uhlenbeck, Hemmer, and the author. Explicitly, consideration is given to an Ising ferromagneticmodel and the corresponding lattice gas with interaction −αγ exp (−γ |i − j|) as γ → 0. One finds that the fluid isotherms are actually analytic, but that in a certain region they approach the zero slope characteristic of a phase transition in the essentially singular fashion exp (−const/γ).
Tensor Artificial Viscosity for Numerical Hydrodynamics5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704058View Description Hide Description
Arguments are presented to the effect that a tensor artificial viscosity is a more suitable quantity to use than the usual scalar viscosity. A specific tensorviscosity is constructed for the case of a two‐dimensional Lagrangian system.
Motion of a Relativistic Damped Oscillator5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704059View Description Hide Description
Quantitative effects of damping in a nonlinear system are illustrated for the case of a relativistic oscillator. The elementary techniques employed furnish details of the decay phenomena which are more extensive than those normally furnished by stability theorems.
Excitation Spectrum of an Impurity in the Hard‐Sphere Bose Gas5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704060View Description Hide Description
The impurity excitation spectrum is calculated for the hard‐sphere Bose gas with dilute impurity concentration, using the pseudopotential method of Lee, Huang, and Yang. The spectrum for the ideal case, in which the mass and interaction of impurity are the same with those of the bosons in the gas, is k 2 in the unit of 2ma = h/ = 1 (ma being the mass of boson, and k the momentum of impurity), with an effective mass correction of , where ρ is the density of the boson gas, and a is the hard‐sphere diameter of the boson. The general impurity case is also calculated and found to have an impurity spectrumrk 2, with a similar effective mass correction, where r is the mass ratio of the boson to the impurity.
Approximate Calculations of Scattering Phase Shifts5(1964); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1704061View Description Hide Description
The nonrelativistic scattering problem is reformulated by transforming the partial‐wave equation into similarity with the corresponding equation for a known or soluble problem. It is shown that if the potentials for the two cases are sufficiently close (within about 10% typically), a particularly simple and accurate expression for the desired phase shifts can be written. Numerical examples for a Gaussian potential are given. The method is also extended to the calculation of bound‐state energy levels, but no numerical examples are given.

Judge: Unfinished Legal Work Isn't Property (in New York, Anyway)
When law firms fail, trustees looking to recoup money for creditors often chase after profits from unfinished legal work that former partners take to their new firms.
But a new federal court ruling has challenged the legal underpinning for such claims in New York—and could hasten efforts to resolve the question in the state's highest court.
The decision came down Tuesday in a lawsuit over profits from unfinished business that the trustee for the defunct firm Thelen LLP brought against two firms that took on Thelen ex-partners. The case concerned hourly fee matters, not contingency work.
In the ruling, Judge William H. Pauley said that such profits are not "property" of the defunct firm—at least not under New York law. To classify them as such, he said, would have "bizarre consequences," such as allowing "a debtor law firm to sell its pending hourly fee matters to the highest bidder"–something Judge Pauley said would violate a client's right to choose attorneys.
The ruling strikes a sharp contrast to a May decision, also in New York federal district court, that said profits from unfinished legal work in that case were indeed assets of the failed law firm (Coudert Brothers LLP, in that case). Both cases could end up ultimately being referred to the New York state Court of Appeals, legal experts say.
Judge Pauley's decision could cast a shadow over future New York law firm bankruptcies and pending cases, such as that of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, which sought Chapter 11 protection in May in the biggest U.S. law firm failure to date. Dewey's bankruptcy advisors have said they intend to pursue claims on profits from unfinished legal work the firm's ex-partners took with them.
"An appellate court is going to have to resolve this," said Peter Gilhuly, a bankruptcy partner with Latham & Watkins LLP who has worked on several law firm bankruptcies. "The pendency of the Dewey case should tell you they need an answer to this."
At issue is a ruling in a California case, Jewel vs. Boxer, that has been used to justify such claims in a number of large law firm failures. The May ruling in the Coudert Brothers case cited numerous examples of rulings from other states that upheld Jewel vs. Boxer claims.
Here, Judge Pauley dismissed the Thelen estate's claims against Seyfarth Shaw LLP. He said that because the case was brought in New York federal court and involved the hiring of mostly New York lawyers, it was necessary to see whether such claims would hold water here. His view: they don't.
"We are very pleased and believe that the court came to the right decision," a spokesman for the firm said in an email.
But Judge Pauley said the case could proceed against the other defendant, Robinson & Cole LLP, because Robinson & Cole LLP had conceded in its motion that it was governed by California law.
A lawyer for that firm did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Yann Geron, the trustee for the Thelen estate, said in an emailed statement that he was "pleased" with the California law decision, but "disappointed" on the New York points. "We recognize the differences noted by Judge Pauley between New York and California law, and differences in viewpoints even between judges in the Southern District of New York in recent decisions. These differences will need to be resolved on appeals, as specifically encouraged by Judge Pauley's decision."

At the Very Least, Your Days of Eating Pacific Ocean Fish Are Over
The heart-breaking news from Fukushima just keeps getting worse…a LOT worse…it is, quite simply, an out-of-control flow of death and destruction. TEPCO is finally admitting that radiation has been leaking to the Pacific Ocean all along. and it's NOT over….
I find myself moving between the emotions of sorrow and anger.
It now appears that anywhere from 300 to possibly over 450 tons of contaminated water that contains radioactive iodone, cesium, and strontium-89 and 90, is flooding into the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima Daichi site everyday. To give you an idea of how bad that actually is, Japanese experts estimate Fukushima's fallout at 20-30 times as high as as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings in 1945
There's a lot you're not being told. Oh, the information is out there, but you have to dig pretty deep to find it, and you won't find it on the corporate-owned evening news.
- An MSNBC article in April of 2012 reported that seals and polar bears were found to have "external maladies" that consisted of fur loss and open sores, obvious signs of radiation burns from the Fukushima meltdown, despite the conclusions of the article.
- Fukushima radiation appears to be causing an epidemic of dead and starving Sea Lions in California and the FDA has refused to test for radiation
- Update: Huffington Post reports that the reactors used "dirty fuel," a combination ofplutonium and uranium (MOX), which means we can never return to this place again. This comes from a Russian nuclear physicist who is an expert on the kinds of gasses being released at Fukushima.
- .Almost a third more US West Coast newborns may face thyroid problems after Fukushima nuclear disaster
- Contaminated water from Fukushima reactors could double radioactivity levels of US coastal waters in 5 years — "We were surprised at how quickly the tracer spread"
(Above video: German Scientists have calculated the dispersion of Cs-137 in the Pacific Ocean)
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PACIFIC OCEAN FOOD CHAIN? – May 2013 –
Researchers from the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology reported in early 2012 that they have detected radioactive cesium from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant in plankton collected from all 10 points in the Pacific they checked, with the highest levels at around 25 degrees north latitude and 150 degrees west longitude. Plankton, and the radiation they contain, moves right up the food chain through fish, whales, seals, etc., and when larger fish eat smaller fish. Kyodo: Highest levels of Fukushima contamination in plankton already east of Hawaii?
Scientists previously reported higher-than-expected concentrations of radiation in fish off Japan. Now there are calls for testing of seafood sold in the U.S.
Although contaminated air, rainfall and even radioactive debris from Japan have drifted toward the U.S. West Coast since the disaster occurred 2 1/2 years ago, scientists are unclear about how the contaminated waters could impact the health of Americans, and while scientists say that 300 tons of contaminate water is diluted in the Pacific, no one knows how long that's been going during those 2 1/2 years as we also now know TEPCO has been lying all along.
Nuclear experts are calling on the U.S. government to test West Coast waters and Pacific seafood sold in the U.S. in the wake of Japan's alarming admission about an ongoing radiation leak, something the EPA and the FDA have so far refused to do, as they are only testing imported fish, not wild-caught.
WHY? The only way to protect your children and grandchildren is by
NOT EATING SEAFOOD from the Pacific Ocean until we have better information (Source). Information posted at the website of
The Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California recommends not buying any fish
from the Pacific Ocean or western states, including Baja.
- Tissue samples taken from 15 bluefin caught in August, five months after the meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi, all 15 contained reactor byproducts cesium-134 and cesium-137.
- The 15 fish tested were only exposed to radiation for a short time. But bluefin arriving in California now will have been exposed to the Fukushima radiation for much longer.
- Unlike some other compounds, radioactive cesium does not quickly sink to the sea bottom but remains dispersed in the water column, from the surface to the ocean floor.Fish can swim right through it, ingesting it through their gills, by taking in seawater or by eating organisms that have already taken it in.
- The overwhelming scientific consensus is that there is no safe level of radiation … and radiation consumed and taken into the body is much more dangerous than background radiation.
- The Telegraph notes that scientists tagged a bluefin tuna and found that it crossed between Japan and the West Coast three times in 600 days: All Pacific migratory fish are likely Fukushima contaminated.
- Why have Contaminated Alaskan Halibut been found even though halibut don't migrate? The cesium-134contamination from radioactive plumes doesn't just fall on land.
- Study shows Fukushima nuclear pollution becoming more concentrated as it approaches U.S. West Coast — Plume crosses ocean in a nearly straight line toward N. America — Appears to stay together with little dispersion (MODEL)
- Pacific herring in Canada bleeding from eyeballs, faces, fins, tails — I've never seen fish looking this bad — All 100 examined were bloody — Officials informed of hemorrhaging soon after 3/11 — Gov't ignoring problem.
- Unprecedented: Sockeye salmon at dire historic low on Canada's Pacific coast — "We think something happened in the ocean" — "The elders have never seen anything like this at all" — Alaska and Russia also affected.
- Japan Times: Fukushima Daiichi radioactive water problems seem 'uncontainable' — Believed to be wreaking environmental havoc upon Pacific Ocean.
- Reuters: Crisis deepening at Fukushima nuclear plant; Upgraded to 'Level 3 Serious Incident' — Represents a 100-fold increase in "severity of a radiological release" — Tepco says highly radioactive leakage continues, but unknown where from.
- It's more than obvious that TEPCO officials have no idea what they're doing, and the big question is why aren't world governments jumping in to contain what's going on? Meanwhile, the Pacific Ocean may very well be dying.
Australian Physician and anti-nuclear advocate Dr. Helen Caldicott Warns of Contaminated Fish and Ocean
Japan Nuclear Crisis: The Dangers of Radiation:
Also see this video of her speaking in 2012.
Quotes from Dr Caldicott
- "Plumes of radioactivity from Fukushima are migrating in the Pacific towards the U.S. West Coast."
- "[Chernobel]] is one of the most monstrous cover-ups in the history of medicine"
- "Then we extrapolate to japan. Japan is – by orders of magnitude – many times worse than Chernobyl."
- "I knew the three GE engineers who helped design the GE Mark 1 reactors. They resigned because they knew they were dangerous. Japan built them on an earthquake fault."
- "Diablo and San Onofre are both built on earthquake faults, haven't you seen enough of an earthquake to see what it does…and in a tsunami area."
What is the greatest threat to humanity? We are, of course
….and our technology. Like a dangerous weapon in the hands of a child, technology has overtaken our capacity to control potential consequences.
Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, led by director Nick Bostrom, says we have entered this new kind of technological era that we have no track record of surviving.
Our technological intelligence may have the potential for creating a better world, but so far, in areas of the economy, genetics and biologics, arms and warfare, security and surveillance, as well as the environment and energy, technology is also completely indifferent to the law of unintended consequences.
Fukushima is what happens when we have the moral responsibility of infants and the technology of adults.

Can you run a geiger counter over your fish to test for radiation?
Black Cat Systems is a good source
Yes, But you have to have one that is of a food grade. There about 600 bucks
Actually, yes
Three types of radiation. That would work on two, maybe one depending. Alpha radiation. Is like dust. Nothing waved over the fish will tell you if you ate dust. Beta radiation might be picked up depending where it was in the fish. It can pass through paper or a few layers of skin. Gamma goes through anything.
Japan planned these meltdowns to get back at America. Their last attempt at kamikaze warfare. RIP 1st world.
Umm… an American company is the one that built the plant in Japan.
Unless you mean America was trying to kill America. GENIUS PLAN!
it is not they may face thyroid problems, but they are facing thyroid problems. We are facing this problems. and more wilting of all tissue due to radioactive toxicity and denial.
This does not surprise me. We humans are a catastrophe!
Any idea why the article fails to mention that the radiation is also drifting towards the west coast of Canada?
Thank you for continuing to spread knowledge!
see what hppes when the government says trust us
China is building nuclear reactors monthly with many many more planned.
Reptilian midbrain is so spot on the arrogance of those who wish to manipulate populations to go about their merry way "oblivious" to the dangers to our planet. As if toxic/nuclear waste dumping could be swept under the rug until it's effects comes to bite present and future generations in the face
The japs have been decimating the whale and dolphin population for fear of food shortage (which is a narrow-minded, supersticious, god-awful travesty), and NOW they've seemed to pollute an entire ocean! Congratulations Japan. Yet again, you're eagerness and rash behavior in order to keep up with the world has butchered thousands. Kampai!
Fuuuuuuuck, It may have been Eve who ate the apple… But men have been snakes ever since. D.Nave.
How sad we will cause our own end. I wish i could test fish myself, have just moved to China and am very nervous of eating fish here.
ummm will the radiation become airborne through evaporation?
Do you have any suggestions of how to protect yourself from radiation if you are travelling to Japan?
So happy I don't eat any marine animal food.
Looks like for now, farm raised fish are the lessor of two evils……….we are so screwed…..yuke to both.
450 Tons a Day? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW LARGE THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS? The sky is not falling, tweety-bird. Rest yourself.
Do you even fathom how much 450 TONNES a DAY IS? The ocean is vast, but that shit spreads fast.
We have harnessed the power of the sun…. its getting out of control, and there is nothing we can do about it …

Fast For Less: Three Affordable Tri Bikes
- By Aaron Hersh
- Published Sep 27, 2012
- Updated Feb 19, 2013 at 11:31 AM UTC
Felt S22
$1,700, Feltbicycles.com
Price is this frame's only "entry-level" characteristic. If you're comfortable leaning far into a textbook aerodynamic triathlon position, the S22 is your bike. Its geometry is perfectly suited for an aggressive aerodynamic position, and the bars offer a wide range of fore-aft adjustment.
Although braking performance isn't exceptional, the Sram Apex drivetrain flicks through gears with rapid precision, like the Specialized. A brief soft-pedal stroke is all the assistance it needs for a sharp front shift. The shape of the aerobar extensions creates just the right amount of tension through the wrists to lock you in place without strain.
Stability and agility are in perfect balance. The S22 precisely carves through corners when you lean in the aerobars, yet never twitches or flinches in a straight line. Road vibration is moderately harsh, however.
Verdict: If you prefer an aggressive position, the Felt is your clear choice. For calm, predictable handling and a conservative position, the Blue wins out, but the Shiv blends superior componentry and a more agile ride feel with an equally comfortable fit.

HAGERSTOWN — A cash reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of two men suspected of robbing Side Pockets bar, 807 S. Potomac St., just after 11 p.m. Tuesday.

LeANN'S DAD COUNTERSUES
LeAnn's Dad Countersues
What a difference a few years makes! The Rimes family was once a smiling, happy little clan in Texas. LeAnn was singing her heart out for Curb Records, and her dad and a close family friend were watching over her career as co-managers.
Now the talented teen is living in sunny California. Her parents divorced three years ago. LeAnn filed a lawsuit trying to break her contract with Curb, and she sued her dad in May for bamboozling her out of her earnings.
Now Daddy Rimes is answering that lawsuit with one of his own, claiming that he is entitled to a producer's fee of three percent as part of an agreement he made with his ex-wife last year, according to The Dallas Morning News.
The lawsuit only names LeAnn's company and not LeAnn herself as a defendant, stating, "It's kind of hard to sue your daughter."

The LEGO Group has teamed up with design-led Japanese retail company MUJI to offer a new product concept combining bricks and paper crafts.
BILLUND, DENMARK NOVEMBER 2009 - LEGO® MUJI explores new ways of being creative by combining the well-known LEGO brick with paper through the use of the new LEGO System paper puncher.
The product line brings together the worlds of The LEGO Group and MUJI in a unique and enriching new experience. There are 4 sets in the LEGO MUJI series, each with more than 100 LEGO bricks and an assortment of paper
The sets all have different themes, and include LEGO bricks, paper and inspirational materials. The themes are Christmas, fairytales, transparent bricks and paper as well as a more open-ended concept. In addition, the specialized LEGO System puncher and five different paper packages will also be made available.
The sets, which were pre-viewed at the Design Tide Exhibition in Tokyo in October, will be released for sale in Japan on 26 November. The launch will constitute a live test in the market with limited quantities available for sale across 40 MUJI stores and the MUJI online store.
With this exciting new LEGO category, the LEGO Group is exploring new ways of playing and engaging with the LEGO brick, as well as new ways of doing business outside the traditional toy industry and retail. This is done by stimulating entrepreneurial culture through collaborative business projects with internal and external entrepreneurs interested in basing their business on an open LEGO platform.
Takahashi Okutani, Manager. Overseas Merchandising Department, MUJI Japan
"LEGO bricks are not just a toy, but a system that inspires children's creativity. MUJI also seeks to inspire creativity with products that appeal to a simple and reflective lifestyle. As both brands are based on strong values, we have worked together to create a new concept that can be of great value to children."
Paal Smith-Meyer, Senior Director, New Business Group, The LEGO Group
"The LEGO system offers endless creative possibilities to build structurally, and so does paper with its many colors, patterns and textures suitable for folding, drawing and cutting. Combining these two creative tools with a LEGO system paper puncher, we will open up a new creative dimension for kids and their parents to explore and express themselves through."
LEGO MUJI background
May 2008 - MUJI approaches The LEGO Group, and a meeting is set up in Tokyo. During this meeting, MUJI presented their interpretation of the LEGO brick, and the potential of the collaboration was explored.
"I was excited that they really understood the LEGO values and the core idea of the brick as a creative tool, which they then complemented with some fresh, new ideas," says Senior Business Developer Marc Brøndum.
October 2008 - After a second meeting, it is agreed that the proposals from MUJI where interesting enough that they should be explored further.
February 2009 - MUJI representatives together with their design team visit LEGO HQ to attend a workshop with the LEGO New Business Group and designers. During this workshop, the idea of bricks and paper is framed and conceptualized, and an ambition to bring the concept to market is signed off on by both parties.
March 2009 – the LEGO MUJI project is approved by the LEGO Group, and brought into the MIP development process.
June 2009 – Meeting and approval session in Tokyo.
July 2009 – Visuals tested and approved.
August-October 2009 – Finalizing legal matters and testing of products.
October 2009 – LEGO MUJI shown to the public for the first time at the Design Tide Exhibition at the Roppopongi store in Tokyo
November 26 – Test launch - only nine months after project approval - to consumers across 40 MUJI stores in Japan. Workshops with consumers will be conducted in the MUJI stores to investigate the potential of the concept even further.

Patented by Herbert Oyler in 1968, the Oyler Pit revolutionized the art and science of barbecue. We have been refining this extraordinary pit for decades, and it is considered to be, quite simply, the finest barbecue pit in the world. For over forty years barbecue experts from all over the world have been trying to figure out the Oyler's secrets. Many theories abound, from the natural purity of the fuel, to the "ferris wheel" rotisserie action, to the constant basting, to the unique air, smoke, and humidity control features. Some hold that it is the very journey of the meat, validating Mr. Oyler's "blanket of heat&rd theory that is based on the meat being "massaged" as it passes through alternate temperature zones while it revolves. This debate will rage for many more decades. We don't know all the answers we just appreciate the results!
With the Oyler E Models, we have now developed a safe and clean way to assist the wood fire. We use safe and clean electrical elements. There is no flavor tainting with our electrical elements. There is no explosion hazard, either. What you do have is a way to dramatically reduce wood usage while preserving the character of what barbecue purists everywhere credit as being the best pit in the world...the Oyler. If you cook barbecue, please do it right, don't gas it!!

The Jungle
by Upton Sinclair
Character Role Analysis
Phil Connor (and the Man)
Connor is Jurgis's personal enemy. When Jurgis hears that Connor has raped Ona and forced her into occasional prostitution, Jurgis flips out and attacks the guy physically. Even when Jurgis is sitting pretty with a relatively secure job as a boss in one of the meatpacking plants, Jurgis sacrifices all of that to smack down Connor a second time. Jurgis's confrontations with Connor cause him to lose his house the first time around and to lose his sweet job a second time around, driving Jurgis straight to socialism.
As awful as Phil Connor undoubtedly is, he is still a symptom of the larger problem. The reason that he is able to exploit Ona and use his influence to squelch Jurgis is that he has power and Ona and Jurgis have none. In a system where some people have lots of power and other people have no resources at all, of course there are going to be horrible abuses (argues Upton Sinclair). Connor is capable of doing what he does because we live in an unequal society. So the real problem isn't just one evil dude, Phil Connor; it's The Man. It's the whole economic structure that concentrates wealth and power into the hands of a few individuals while leaving the rest of us out in the cold (according to Upton Sinclair).


text: Not that you all don't already know this, but galleries are stores, just like Target and Walmart. I know quite a few gallery owners and some are really good people. But, if they don't sell product they don't stay in business. I take pictures for me, I'm not a store and I'm not affected by what sells in galleries. In fact—I don't care at all about sales of my personal work. Don't get me wrong, I love when people buy my photos, but I decided a long time ago that I was either taking photos for me or to sell. In my personal work, it's for me with no compromise. It is what it is. Some will buy them others wont...I'll shoot what makes me happy. Cheers

Wordless Wednesday: Joey the WarHorse
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE PLAY, "WARHORSE" COMING TO THE FOX THEATRE IN SEPTEMBER? We got a special preview of the puppet — and I don't mean a sock puppet — which is a marvelous piece of engineering. The three men it takes to make this puppet seem alive are nothing short of artists. They have even learned to breathe as a horse would.
I wanted to share the way in which Joey the WarHorse was constructed. There are multiple Joeys performing with the various show groups and each one takes considerable craftsmanship to create. I found it all fascinating. My William recorded the whole preview on his mp3 player and has revisited it several times since to learn more. I'll have more info. about the upcoming show tomorrow.
Isn't it amazing?

First of all let me say what a great plugin this is! The best I've seen available for Flickr in wordpress.
I was wondering if you could include in future versions an option for individual galleries to turn off pagination. On my main photos page I'm happy to have the pages of photos to cycle through but on my homepage I just want to show the latest 6 photos with a link to the other page to view the rest.
Is there any quick way for me to achieve this this using the current version (2.5.0)?

By now, we all know we're supposed to be taking steps to clean up our act when it comes to helping the environment, but let's face it: sometimes all the work of going green can get a little overwhelming. I recently had the chance to preview Celebrate Green: Creating Eco-Savvy Holidays, Celebrations, and Traditions for the Whole Family by mom and daughter team Corey Colwell-Lipson and Lynn Colwell, and was relieved to find a "green guide" that provides simple, clever ways to make your parties and celebrations more earth-friendly - without making them less fun.
The book is about so much more than just eco-friendly entertaining, though. It's a practical, accessible, and encouraging reference guide for anyone looking to make some simple lifestyle changes in hopes of cleaning up our environment. There's a great section on the basic "how to's" of reducing, reusing, and recycling, along with tips on decoding labels and shopping for products that are truly beneficial for both people and the planet. The book isn't preachy, either, so whether you're an environmentalist from way back or you're just getting started, you'll be able to find helpful tips you can put into action right away.
The guide also has tasty recipes, craft ideas, and lists of resources for further reading, shopping, and charitable giving. It's a refreshing approach to caring for the planet by weaving thoughtful, environmentally responsible practices into our celebrations and everyday lives. $17.95 at Celebrate Green

Avast! Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
In this issue: A greeting, a quick reminder, a GREAT opportunity and our thanks.
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
To all ye buccaneers, swashbucklers, filibusters, freebooters and assorted other scurvy lads and lasses, greetings from all of us at Team Pirate – The official lusty pirate wench Mad Sally, the Web Wench Jezebel, Cap'n Slappy and of course, meself, Ol' Chumbucket!
There are piratey events going on all over the seven seas. On our Web site www.talklikeapirae.com, you'll clap deadlights on a treasure map of pirate activity where you can find some pillaging and plundering near you.
And just a couple of reminders:
1 - The official food of International Talk Like a Pirate Day: Barbecued Pork Ribs (all you buccaneers out there know what I'm talkin' about.)
2 - Don't greet people with "hello." It's "Ahoy!" loud and snarlin' and full of pirttitude today, or ye'll be tastin' the gunner's daughter.
Send us a picture of yer piratey adventures today. Send ONE (please only one or our inboxes will explode like a powder magazine what had a match set to it) to the Web Wench - firstname.lastname@example.com - to post on our site's Flickr page. If you have LOTS more pix, post them on yer facespacemypagebook where everyone can admire them and send us a link..
And finally, here's a plunderful opportunity for all of ye, although only one of you scurvy dogs can win:
'Travel Like a Pirate' Contest Launched Online Today
Starting today, the travel Web site Nile Guide has launched a "Travel Like a Pirate" contest---an opportunity to visit Aruba in the Caribbean as a true buccaneer, with partners JetBlue and the Hyatt Regency Resort and Casino.
The swag includes round-trip airfare for two from major U.S. cities served by JetBlue, four nights at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort and Casino, a sailing and snorkeling trip aboard the Jolly Pirate vessel, dinner at The Pirate's Nest (a restaurant based inside a replica 16th century galleon), and a tour of the Balashi Brewery. All in all, the trip is chock-full o' the spirit of adventure and exploration that will surely warm the cockles of any pirate's heart.
To enter, visit their Web site at:
They'll ask for yer name and e-mail address. They'll also ask for permision to fire salvos of promotional travel e-mails to yer inbox, but you can always say no, or unsubscribe after you've won the contest.
Pass on word to yer fellow swashbucklers. It'd be a shame for a contest like this to be won by some accountant from New Jersey without a piratey bone in his body. (Note: I am sure there are plenty of accountants in the Garden State with heaps of pirattitude. It was just a what-if, so please, no complaining e-mails.)
The contest ends Oct. 19 And since it begins today, you can be among the very first to sign up to win.
Thank you
Finally, a huge pirate thankee to all who have taken the day as their own and made it the worldwide phenomenon it has become. Thanks to the lads at 96.5 FM in Cork, Ireland, and the BBC World News in London and the Hammond Ind. newspaper and 2SER in Australia and all the media outlets between, on the air and online. Thanks to all our bloggers and MMPORPGs (did I get that right?) and software developers and librarians and fourth grade teachers and accountants in New Jersey who made today so much fun.
Cap'n Slappy and I never cease to be amazed by how far this has gone.
And Slappy and I would be remiss (and we just HATE bein' remiss) if we failed to thank our close personal friend, Pulitzer Prize Winner Dave Barry, without whom this would still be a private joke among a handful of friends. Thanks Dave! What Slappy said all those year ago about us being dinghy sized talk like a pirate guys compared to you being a frigate of pirattitude still goes.
So have a glorious day, me hearties, and be sure when you talk, you Talk Like a Pirate!
- Ol' Chumbucket, Ed.

NAACP launches site to track Tea Party bigotry, Fox News freaks out
Think Progress -- Right Wing Freaks Out Over Tea Party Tracking Effort
Just before Glenn Beck's "non-political" tea party rally on the National Mall less than two weeks ago, the NAACP — in collaboration with ThinkProgress, Media Matters, and New Left Media — launched a site called TeaPartyTracker.org. Consistent with the NAACP's stated desire to expose the intolerant elements of the tea party, the new site will aggregate and filter content produced by its partners that is related to the core mission of holding the tea parties accountable. The tea party tracking site has spawned a conspiratorial fit from the right wing. The conservative blog Gateway Pundit sees the effort as a "smear" against the right. Glenn Beck's new site cautions, "Tea Partiers beware — the NAACP is watching you." This morning on Fox & Friends, contributor Andrew Napolitano said that because Glenn Beck has assembled "the largest political gathering in the past 40 years," "suddenly, the left is worried." Appearing on CNBC to discuss the CAPAF-sponsored Clean Energy Summit, John Podesta was asked about the tea party tracking effort by conservative host Joe Kernen. Podesta responded, "What we're trying to do is just really focus on the facts, talk to people, see what they're for. … We want to have an open dialogue." Referring to Fox News, he added, "There shouldn't just be one source of information about the tea parties coming from one of your network rivals."

Florida's phosphates turned into fertilizer
Phosphate minerals are a valuable natural resource found in rock deposits throughout the United States and the world. Phosphate minerals were first discovered in central Florida, the "Bone Valley" area, in the early 1880s. However, many of the phosphate deposits are now mined in north Florida in Hamilton County and further south near the Peace River in the vicinity of Fort Meade in Polk County. Florida provides a good majority of the nation's phosphate supply. According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, ".Florida and North Carolina accounted for more than 85 percent of the total U.S. production with the balance being produced in the western states of Idaho and Utah." The U.S. marketable phosphate rock production for the 2012 crop year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) was 28.8 metric tons. The phosphate that is produced from mining is ultimately made into phosphoric acid, which is in turn used to create fertilizer and other products. Fertilizers are an important part of agriculture worldwide and have a huge impact on what we see harvested. "Modern farmers routinely use chemical fertilizers and animal feed ingredients, derived from mineral sources of phosphate, to augment organic sources of phosphate. This practice has increased yields of crops and livestock to levels that greatly exceed natural population growth rates," Central Florida Phosphate District (CFPD).Two types of phosphates can be found in Florida: pebble and hard-rock. The pebble type is the more common of the two. "Hard-rock phosphate was mined in the late 1800s and early 1900s because it was concentrated and easier to mine," said Florida Geological Survey District Geologist, FDEP, Harley Means. Means explained that hard-rock phosphates occurs within paleo-sinkholes where groundwater has dissolved the phosphate from upgradient pebble phosphate deposits and transported it into sinkholes where it replaced the limestone in the walls and fill within the sink. The majority of this type of phosphate has been mined out in Florida. Pebble phosphate deposits form in a different way. It is believed that the fluctuating sea levels across the state, through geologic time, played a role. "Nutrient rich sea water covered parts of Florida's carbonate platform (primarily during the Miocene epoch) and organisms utilized the nutrients, proliferated and ultimately did so in great abundance," said Means, who explained that this led to eutrophic conditions (meaning that the oxygen was removed from the water) and the remains of the organisms accumulated and over geologic time were converted to phosphate in the form of the mineral francolite. As sea levels fluctuated, these phosphate deposits were reworked by streams and rivers and became concentrated into placer deposits. The phosphate mining process in Florida is conducted via a dragline. The miners first remove the soil, sand and clay atop and then bring in the draglines. The largest particles are first removed and then slurry, using large water cannons, is run to remove the clay. The material is then pumped into the beneficiation plants where sand and clay are separated for processing. In order for phosphates to be used as a water-soluble fertilizer, the substance must first be chemically processed. While phosphate mining allows more productive crop harvests, there are a few drawbacks. Phosphate is nonrenewable like most things that are mined. "At some point in the future we will reach the production limit and there will be less and less phosphate produced in Florida. However, as the economics change it may be economical to go to new areas or back into spoil piles and reprocess some of the material that was previously not economically feasible to mine," said Means. Another downside is the byproduct known as phosphogypsum that is produced by the process. There is an abundance of this material stacked across the state. However, some initiatives are being taken to put it to good use, such as using it for fill material in road construction. Lastly an issue arises when the fertilizers are applied in karst regions. These regions are areas that were created by the dissolution of soluble rocks, including limestone and dolomite, and contain aquifers capable of providing large supplies of water. "The excess that is not taken up by the plants can make it down into the groundwater and cause significant contamination, especially if it makes its way to springs and surface drainage features like rivers," said Means, who added that the Suwannee River is a good example of a spring-fed river system that is terribly contaminated with excessive nutrients due to agricultural applications of fertilizer. While phosphorous is an important part of root and flower development, it quickly becomes depleted in soils so the substance must be replenished regularly to maintain the impact.

Bree Kessler has always been a traveler. She's lived in India and Honduras, worked in Thailand, volunteered with the National Park Service in northern Alaska, and traveled extensively throughout Latin America.
Her first visit to the Big Island of Hawai'i was as a summer volunteer, picking pineapples on an organic farm. This experience sparked her interest in urban agriculture and ultimately environmental psychology-the study of how people and places interact with one another. She is currently earning a PhD in this field at the City University of New York.
Bree has taught courses on a variety of topics at Hunter College, the University of Hawai'i-Hilo, and the School for International Training. Outside of academia, she has a second career as a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in publications such as Honolulu Magazine, Edible Hawaiian Islands, Women's Adventure, and Wine Enthusiast. Although there are certainly more travels ahead of her, she always returns to Hawai'i and her true vocation: exploring her island home and sharing its spirit of aloha.

The Color Purple
by Alice Walker
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
God is Celie's salvation for most of the book—by communicating with God through letters, she is able to maintain a certain sanity. Halfway through the book, in a discussion with Shug, Celie confesses that she sees God as a white man with a beard. And since Celie has some serious issues with men, she's now having some issues with God. Through the remainder of the book, and with the help of Shug, Celie comes to realize that God has no gender and no race. God is not male and God is not white. For a while, Celie strays away from God, preferring to write to Nettie. However, her last letter is again written to God. Now we see that Celie's notion of God has dramatically changed. Celie's final entry is addressed to "Dear God. Dear stars, dear trees, dear sky, dear peoples. Dear Everything. Dear God." Not only does Celie see God in nature, but in everything, including her fellow human beings.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A name change is on the way for the ballpark that fans have known as Road Ranger Stadium for the last five years.
Rockford Riverhawks management was notified this last week that Road Ranger will not be renewing their sponsorship deal to keep the road ranger name on the stadium. The Stateline gasoline company says that an increase in the contract price caused them to walk away.
Road Ranger obtained naming rights in 2007, a year after the park opened. Riverhawks General Manager Brad Sholes says despite the sponsorship uncertainty, the team is remaining confident.
Sholes says, "Unfortunately we couldn't work things out with road ranger but we feel there will be another one that will step up to the plate. You know hopefully, you road ranger couldn't agree to the naming rights, but that's not to say that they won't be a sponsor in the future."
Sholes says that Riverhawks owner Bryan Wickline has been in contact with companies regarding naming rights. The companies will remain private until a deal is reached.
