Nano-layer of Ruthenium Stabilizes Magnetic Sensors
A layer of ruthenium just a few atoms thick can be used to fine-tune the sensitivity and enhance the reliability of magnetic sensors, tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) show.* The nonmagnetic metal acts as a buffer between active layers of sensor materials, offering a simple means of customizing field instruments such as compasses, and stabilizing the magnetization in a given direction in devices such as computer hard-disk readers.
In the NIST sensor design, ruthenium modulates interactions between a ferromagnetic film (in which electron "spins" all point in the same direction) and an antiferromagnetic film (in which different layers of electrons point in opposite directions to stabilize the device). In the presence of a magnetic field, the electron spins in the ferromagnetic film rotate, changing the sensor's resistance and producing a voltage output. The antiferromagnetic film, which feels no force because it has no net magnetization, acts like a very stiff spring that resists the rotation and stabilizes the sensor. The ruthenium layer (see graphic) is added to weaken the spring, effectively making the device more sensitive. This makes it easier to rotate the electron spins, and still pulls them back to their original direction when the field is removed.
NIST tests showed that thicker buffers of ruthenium (up to 2 nanometers) make it easier to rotate the magnetization of the ferromagnetic film, resulting in a more sensitive device. Thinner buffers result in a device that is less sensitive but responds to a wider range of external fields. Ruthenium layers thicker than 2 nm prevent any coupling between the two active films. All buffer thicknesses from 0 to 2 nm maintain sensor magnetization (even resetting it if necessary) without a boost from an external electrical current or magnetic field. This easily prevents demagnetization and failure of a sensor.
The mass-producible test sensors, made in the NIST clean room in Boulder, Colo., consist of three basic layers of material deposited on silicon wafers: The bottom antiferromagnetic layer is 8 nm of an iridium/manganese alloy, followed by the ruthenium buffer, and topped with 25 nm of a nickel/iron alloy. The design requires no extra lithography steps for the magnetic layers and could be implemented in existing mass-production processes. By contrast, the conventional method of modulating magnetoresistive sensors—capping the ends of sensors with magnetic materials—adds fabrication steps and does not allow fine-tuning of sensitivity. The new sensor design was key to NIST's recent development of a high-resolution forensic tape analysis system for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (see Magnetic Tape Analysis "Sees" Tampering in Detail).

Neutrons Reveal Quantum Order in Solid-State System
It's a truism that the world looks very different through the eyes of quantum mechanics. In a new paper appearing in Science,* an international team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Britain have detailed a particular striking example—a system that looks completely random to classical physics but that at the quantum level displays a hidden, relatively long-range, coherence. Their work demonstrates a unique solid-state device—basically a row of nickel atoms in a ceramic crystal—that might form the basis for a key element in a future quantum computer.
Classical magnetism is a function of the orientation of electron "spins" in a material that has a discrete set of quantum states. If the spins in a material tend to line up in the same direction, it's ferromagnetic, and if they tend to alternate, cancelling out any magnetic field, then it's antiferromagnetic. These new experiments studied magnetism in linear chains of up to 100 nickel atoms that, because of their arrangement in the ceramic, have the curious property of forming a "spin fluid" where the spin directions remain in constant flux rather than assuming a fixed configuration as in a ferromagnet or an antiferromagnet.
It's seemingly a completely disorganized system, but, according to team member Collin Broholm, a physics professor at the Johns Hopkins' Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the chain has "a beautiful, underlying quantum order." Although the spin directions may be random, the underlying wave functions that describe the quantum mechanical nature of the atoms are coherent—perfectly synchronized over the span of almost 100 atoms and 30 nanometers. In the quantum mechanical world, that's a significant distance for coherence, hitherto seen only in exotic materials such as superconductors, superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates.
The team was able to demonstrate this by pinging the chains with neutrons that induce small packets of magnetic excitation to propagate along the coherent segment—which can be measured indirectly by observing the scattered neutrons. They also demonstrated that they could limit the coherent region by introducing defects in the chain, either by adding chemical impurities or raising the temperature to induce thermal breaks (the experiments were conducted from 10 degrees to 120 degrees above absolute zero). Their results show that relatively large-scale regions in a solid-state material can be placed in a coherent quantum magnetic state, which might function as a "q-bit" (quantum bit) in a quantum computer. (For more on quantum computing, see www.nist.gov/public_affairs/quantum/quantum_computing.html.)
The research team included scientists from Johns Hopkins, the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, Dartmouth College, University College London, Louisiana State University, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and the University of Tokyo.
The work was funded by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, the National Science Foundation, the Wolfson-Royal Society (U.K.), and by the Basic Technologies program of the U.K. Research Councils.

Thousands of Atoms Swap 'Spins' in Quantum Square Dance
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have induced thousands of atoms trapped by laser beams to swap "spins" with partners simultaneously. The repeated exchanges, like a quantum version of swinging your partner in a square dance but lasting a total of just 10 milliseconds, might someday carry out logic operations in quantum computers, which theoretically could quickly solve certain problems that today's best supercomputers could not solve in years.
The atomic dance, described in the July 26 issue of Nature,* advances prospects for the use of neutral atoms as quantum bits (qubits) for storing and processing data in quantum computers. Thanks to the peculiarities of quantum mechanics, nature's rule book for the smallest particles of matter and light, quantum computers might provide extraordinary power for applications such as breaking today's most widely used encryption codes. Neutral atoms are among about a dozen systems being evaluated around the world as qubits; their weak interactions with the environment may help to reduce computing errors.
The NIST experiments demonstrated the essential part of a so-called swap operation, in which atom partners exchange their internal spin states, trading an "up" spin (notionally a binary 1) for a "down" spin (binary 0.) Unlike classical bits, which would either swap or not, quantum bits can be simultaneously in an unusual state of having swapped and not swapped at the same time. Under these conditions, spin swapping has the effect of "entangling" the pairs, a quantum phenomenon that links the atoms' properties even when they are physically separated. Entanglement is one of the features that make quantum computers potentially so powerful. The swapping process is a way of creating logical connections among data, crucial in any computer.
The NIST experiment was performed with about 60,000 rubidium atoms trapped within a three-dimensional grid of light formed by three pairs of infrared laser beams arranged to create two horizontal lattices overlapping like mesh screens, one twice as fine as the other in one dimension. This created many pairs of energy "wells" for trapping atoms. The scientists attempted to place a single atom in each well, each pair with opposite spins. They then merged the paired wells to force each pair of atoms to interact with each other. Due to the rules of quantum mechanics, the merged atoms oscillate between the condition in which one atom is 1 and the other is 0, to the opposite condition. As they swap spins, the atoms pass in and out of entanglement, the key feature that enables quantum computation. This is believed to be the first time that quantum mechanical symmetry ("exchange symmetry") has been used to perform such an entangling operation with atoms.
In these experiments the same spin-swap was done in parallel for all pairs of atoms. The next step, according to the researchers, is to develop ways to address and manipulate any pair of atoms in the lattice, which should allow for scalable computer architectures. The NIST group is continuing to work on improving the reliability of each step and on completing the logic operation by separating atoms after they interact. The research was funded in part by the Disruptive Technology Office, the Office of Naval Research and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The authors are affiliated with the Joint Quantum Institute, a collaboration of NIST and the University of Maryland.

Changing the Rings: A Key Finding for Magnetics Design
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states—"ringing" in physics parlance—in some key metals. Their results, published in the Physical Review Letters,* point to more efficient methods to predict the dynamics of magnetic materials and to improve the design of key materials for magnetic devices.
The ability to control the dynamics of magnetic materials is critical to high-performance electronic devices such as magnetic field sensors and magnetic recording media. In a computer's magnetic storage—like a hard disk—a logical bit is represented by a group of atoms whose electron "spins" all are oriented in a particular direction, creating a minute magnetic field. To change the bit from, say, a one to a zero, the drive's write head imposes a field in a different direction at that point, causing the electrons to become magnetically excited. Their magnetic poles begin precessing—the same motion seen in a child's spinning top when it's tilted to one side and begins rotating around a vertical axis. Damping is what siphons off this energy, allowing the electron spins to settle into a new orientation. For fast write speeds—magnetization reversals in a nanosecond or faster—a hard disk wants strong damping.
On the other hand, damping is associated with noise and loss of signal in the same drive's read heads—and other magnetic field sensors—so they need materials with very weak damping.
The design of improved magnetic devices, particularly at the nanoscale, requires a palette of materials with tailored damping rates, but unfortunately the damping mechanism is not well understood. Important damping mechanisms have not been identified, particularly for the so-called intrinsic damping seen in pure ferromagnetic materials, and no quantitative calculations of the damping rate have been done, so the search for improved materials must be largely by trial and error.
To address this, CNST researchers calculated the expected damping parameters for three commonly used ferromagnetic elements, iron, cobalt and nickel, based on proposed models that link precession damping in a complex fashion with the creation of electron-hole pairs in the metal that ultimately dissipate the magnetic excitation energy as vibration energy in the crystal structure. The calculation is extremely complex, both because of the intrinsic difficulty of accounting for the mutual interactions of large numbers of electrons in a solid, and because the phenomenon is inherently complex, with at least two different and competing mechanisms. Damping rises with temperature in all three metals, for example, but in cobalt and nickel it also rises with decreasing temperature at low temperatures.
By comparing the calculated damping effects with experimental measurements, the team was able to identify the dominant mechanisms behind intrinsic damping in the three metals, which at room temperature and above is tied to electron energy transitions. The results, they say, point to materials design techniques that could be used to optimize damping in new magnetic alloys.

New Tools to Help Configure Secure Operating Systems
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is making available "virtual machine images" of secure configurations of the Microsoft Windows XP and VISTA operating systems (OSs) to assist federal agencies in complying with computer security requirements mandated by the government's Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OS images allow federal agencies to simulate what will happen, and how critical applications will perform, when they move from their current operating environment to either of the two Microsoft OSs using security configurations mandated under OMB's Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC).
These images were created through a collaborative effort between Microsoft, OMB, NIST, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and are available for download on a new Web site established by OMB. The images contain pre-configured security settings for agencies to use when testing and evaluating their applications to ensure they function effectively and securely during migration to these new operating systems.
"This resource facilitates agencies' efforts to implement common security configurations which will boost government's information security, improve system performance and decrease operating costs," said Karen Evans, administrator of OMB's Office of E-Government and Information Technology.
In addition, NIST's National Checklist Program is working with a number of information technology providers on standardizing security settings for a wide variety of products and environments. NIST maintains more than 120 common security configuration guides used by agencies.
Frequently asked questions about the Web site, the virtual machine images and other technical information for adopting the secure Windows XP and VISTA configurations may be found at: http://csrc.nist.gov/fdcc.
The documents on which the FDCC is based are two OMB memoranda: M-07-11 of March 22, 2007, "Implementation of Commonly Accepted Security Configurations for Windows Operating Systems," and M-07-18 of June 1, 2007, "Ensuring New Acquisitions Include Common Security Configurations." Both may be accessed at www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/index.html.

Improved NIST SRM Aids Lead Poisoning Detection
Lead in goat blood might not be on the top of your shopping list, but for U.S. medical personnel who each year perform more than 2 million human blood measurements, Standard Reference Material (SRM) 955c from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can't be beat.
SRM 955c is an improved version of SRM 955b, a material clinicians already relied on heavily to provide quality assurance for lead blood measurements. Significant changes in material composition, lead levels and expanded uncertainties of the certified lead concentrations make SRM 955c an even more effective tool for use in addressing lead poisoning, a condition particularly harmful to the developing nervous systems of fetuses and young children, causing learning disabilities and behavior problems and, at high levels, seizures, coma and death.
Children can be exposed to lead from lead-based paint in older buildings, or from contaminated soil near highways where vehicles once used leaded gasoline. Lead levels in children have dropped since lead was banned from both paint and fuel, but they remain significant. In 1990 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) established as a national goal reducing lead blood levels to no greater than 25 micrograms per deciliter (the equivalent of 250 parts per billion) by 2000 and no greater than 10 micrograms per deciliter (100 parts per billion) for 2010. The department's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently estimates that 300,000 American children, aged one to five years, have lead blood levels greater than the 2010 objective. Research reports also provide evidence of adverse effects at an even lower lead blood level than that of the 2010 target among children younger than 72 months.
SRM 955c is packaged as four vials of frozen blood at four progressively elevated lead concentration levels. Unlike previous issues of SRM 955 that were based on hog or cattle blood, SRM 955c is based on blood obtained from goats. The red blood cell system of an adult goat is much closer to that of a human, making it a better model for assessing proficiency for erythrocyte protoporphyrin, a biomarker of lead exposure. NIST's partner in developing 955c, the New York State Department of Health's Wadsworth Center Lead Poisoning Laboratory, dosed adult goats with lead acetate to produce blood pools containing lead physiologically bound to red blood cells.* The new SRM provides a better match than its predecessor to the blood samples clinicians analyze. The lead concentrations were determined by NIST using highly specialized methodology that resulted in high accuracy and low measurement uncertainty.
The changing goal line for blood lead concentration makes SRM 955c especially useful to laboratories. The lowest lead concentration level in the previous standard was 4 micrograms per deciliter or 40 parts per billion. In contrast, the lowest lead concentration level of SRM 955c is 0.4 microgram per deciliter or four parts per billion, the level of lead in an undosed animal. It is intended to represent the natural level of lead in an unexposed human population (although it is not yet known if any lead is naturally present in human blood). The lowest concentration in the SRM is 25 times lower than the DHHS 2010 goal, and will enable the development of next generation clinical methods that will be needed to accurately measure blood lead levels in children as progress is made toward eliminating lead exposure.
In addition to lead, levels two through four of SRM 955c contain added amounts of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, methylmercury and ethylmercury to facilitate future efforts to develop clinical methods to measure these toxins in human blood. At present, NIST provides information values only for the concentrations of cadmium and total mercury (including methylmercury and ethylmercury.) As values become available for arsenic, methylmercury and ethylmercury, the certificate of analysis will be updated to reflect the new information. Information values are considered "useful," but lack sufficient data for NIST to be able to assign an uncertainty to the measurement.
SRM 955c development was partially funded by the CDC. For more details and ordering information, see https://www-s.nist.gov/srmors/view_detail.cfm?srm=955C.
*The procedure for dosing the animals and collecting blood pools is covered by an active protocol approved by the Wadsworth Center's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IAUC).

The authors introduce dynamic coalition formation among rational software agents in open and heterogeneous distributed environments such as the Internet and Web. They discuss relevant approaches coping with only parts of the DCF problem domain in different disciplines such as decision theory, social reasoning, and machine learning. Finally, they sketch one novel DCF scheme and highlight some future research work toward a general framework of dynamic coalition formation.

text: Really nice summary of the "Identify, Reflect, Acknowledge" concept. As with all truly great ideas, it has a certain ring of 'common sense' to it, and that only adds to its power. I'm looking forward to seeing how I (and others) can incorporate this into their training, as well as the results that come about.

Postponement of Final Determination Back to Top
The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of solid agricultural grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine.
On March 5, 2001, the Department published its preliminary determination in this investigation. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Solid Agricultural Grade Ammonium Nitrate from Ukraine, 66 FR 13286 ("Preliminary Notice"). The Preliminary Notice stated that, based on a proper request by Stock Holding Company Concern "Stirol" ("Stirol"), the Department was postponing the final determination by 30 days and, therefore, would issue its final determination no later than 105 days after the date of issuance of the notice (see Preliminary Notice, 66 FR at 13287).
Pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on May 14, 2001, Stirol, the sole participating respondent in the investigation, requested that the Department postpone its final determination by an additional 30 days. Stirol further requested that the Department extend to not more than six months the application of the provisional measures prescribed under paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 733(d) of the Act. In accordance with section 735(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b), because (1) the preliminary determination in this case is affirmative, (2) the request for postponement was submitted in writing by an exporter who accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise in this investigation, and (3) no compelling reason for denial exists, we are postponing the final determination until no later than 135 days after the publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register (i.e., until no later than July 18, 2001). Suspension of liquidation will be extended accordingly.
This extension is in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2).

In today's day and age it is common for people to move from one state to another for work or any other of a multitude of reasons. Of course, for people who have minor children, moving is a more complicated choice. Moving a child to another state can be a challenging process. This is especially true where the parents are divorced or separated. For these parents, moving to a new place can impact their child custody and parenting time arrangements.
Like other states, Minnesota law provides that a parent can request a modification to their child custody order. Similar to child support orders, courts will review child custody arrangements if a parent petitions the court based on a substantial change in circumstances.
In most cases, when a parent moves to a new state, they will be unable to uphold the original child custody and visitation order. Accordingly, the move will qualify as a substantial change in circumstances and the court will review the order.
Minnesota law requires that courts review and modify child custody orders based on the best interests of the child. Thus, when a parent moves out of state, the court will try to assess a variety of questions. For example, the involvement of each parent in the child's daily life is a fundamental threshold question. On the other hand, if the child has deep roots in their current home state, the court will be less inclined to permit the child to leave with the moving parent.
People choose to leave their current home and move across state lines all the time. But, where child relocation is at issue, that decision becomes more complex. A family law attorney can review the circumstances of a particular case and counsel their clients on the impact that a potential move might have on their child custody and visitation rights.

Morning Report: Ray Romano's Strong Start; Vevo's Launch; Nicolas Cage's New Court Fight
Ray Romano Opens Well: Everybody still loves Raymond, it seems. The Ray Romano series "Men of a Certain Age" made a splash bringing in 5.4 million viewers for its premiere episode. The TNT dramedy that follows the lives of three middle-aged men was the most-watched cable premiere of the year among adults aged 25-54. [Variety]
Vevo Launches: Vevo.com, a new online portal for music videos, launched yesterday. The site is a joint venture backed by Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Music and Abu Dhabi Media Co. and streamed through YouTube. The new site features what it bills as a behind-the-scenes clip of the making of the Lady Gaga and Beyoncé video "Video Phone," and the premiere of the Mary J. Blige video "I Am" and the Mariah Carey video "H.A.T.E.U." [Reuters]
More Money Woes for Nic Cage?: Nicolas Cage's ex-girlfriend has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against the star alleging breach of contract and fraud. Christina Fulton, the mother of Cage's first son, alleges that because of negligence on the part of Cage and his ex-manager Samuel J. Levin, she owes the IRS $1 million and has $250,000 in unpaid credit card debt. Fulton is seeking more than $13 million in damages. Cage's attorney Marty Singer reportedly told People: "This lawsuit is ridiculous and absurd." Cage, one of Hollywood's highest-paid leading men, is suing Levin for $20 million, and Levin has responded with a countersuit. [People]

Stocks Gain on Unemployment Claims
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 11:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 11:20 p.m.
Stocks are closing higher on Wall Street for a fifth straight day, pushing the Dow further into record territory. The Dow Jones industrial average, which surpassed its previous all-time high two days ago, closed up 33 points at 14,329.The Standard & Poor's 500 rose nearly three points to 1,544. The S&P is now about 20 points away from its own record high close. The Nasdaq rose nine points to 3,232. The Dow and S&P gained 0.2 percent, the Nasdaq 0.3 percent. The catalyst for the advance was the latest evidence that hiring is picking up: a decline in unemployment applications. Kroger rose 3 percent after reporting strong earnings. Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was average at 3.5 billion shares. The stock market's rally this year has been helped in no small part by continuing economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve. The U.S. central bank began buying bonds in January 2009 and is still purchasing $85 billion each month in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

I realize what I'm about to ask for pretty much flies in the face of all that SVN stands for, so let me give you some backstory first.
I am part of an aerospace club at my university that is being run much like a real aerospace company, complete with full revision control and such. Configuration management is extremely strict, which is not what SVN was built for of course. I was tasked with switching us from a non-existent revision control system to SVN.
When I say extremely strict, here's what I mean:
-Commits must be approved by an admin before SVN can allow it - this means getting paperwork filled out and signed by a member of a dedicated config management team member
-All changelogs must be non-empty.
I'm pretty decent with Perl, so both wasn't so difficult. Essentially, admins run a script that generates an approval code, and emails to the admin and the committer are sent out with that approval code. The approval code is stored along with admin information in a .CSV file that cannot be accessed by non-admins (only admins have ssh capability to the server). This approval code, and the code only, must be the very first line of your changelog before the server will accept the commit. Not terribly difficult.
Now, here is my problem: On post-commit, I'd like to remove the access code from the log and append the log with information about the approving admin. See the below code (Perl). If you need to know what's in my modules, let me know. I just don't want to post unnecessary information...
#!/usr/bin/perl # post-commit # Automatically sets changelog to remove the approval code and append admin information # the repository is in /specworks/sandbox use strict; use warnings; use lib '/specworks/admin/perllib'; use SpecWorks::Admin; use SpecWorks::Code; use Carp; # Prepare databases my %codes = Code::retrieve_list(); my %users = Admin::retrieve_roster(); my ($repo_path, $rev_num) = @ARGV; # Retrieve the entire log file; remove the approval code and perform updates chomp(my @log = `svnlook log $repo_path -r $rev_num`); my $user_code = shift @log; my %approval = ( admin => $codes{$user_code}{admin }, date => $codes{$user_code}{date }, comments => $codes{$user_code}{comments}, ); my %admin_info = Admin::find_user($approval{admin}, \%users, {admin_only => 1,}); # Start writing approval information my $admin_info = <<"EOF"; ======== Approval information: Approval code : $user_code Admin : $approval{admin} Admin email : $admin_info{email} Time of approve : $approval{date} Comments : $approval{comments} EOF push @log, $admin_info; my $log_single_line = join "\n", @log; # Attempt to write the changelog - pre-revprop-change will only work if the approval code given is still in the database my $successful_edit = system qq{svn propset svn:log --revprop -r $rev_num "$log_single_line" $repo_path}; if (! $successful_edit){ die "Couldn't append approval information to changelog!\n"; } #If we get this far, then the user's commit attempt is legitimate. Delete the old code from the list. Code::remove_from_list($user_code);
Right now, pre-revprop-change is set to always return success. My only concern at the moment is getting properties set on post-commit.
So, any ideas on how to append logs on post-commit?
Thanks for your help!

Sighting Details
I earlier,in 1993-94, made a report to a UFO organization whose name I can not remember. It might have been MUFON, but I don't know. I can't search your database that far back. That report occurred when I was a veteran air traffic controller at Chicago Center south area. In approximately December 1993, I was working the Chicago departures at a very busy time in the evening with aircraft heading towards Terra Haute VORTAC and southwards. Indianapolis Center was my adjoining facility and suddenly did something they never did before or after in my career, they closed their airspace to all my high altitude traffic. I spent several minutes turning all aircraft into the opposite direction and shutting down departures from Chicago,and finally I got the word from my manual controller that the Indianapolis controller reported that the pilot of an aircraft travelling from east to west along my border freaked out upon having a close encounter with a UFO. I reported this in a timely matter to the UFO organization whom I can't rememember and suggested they request the tapes from Indianapolis ARTCC. However an even stranger event occurred to me within a few months of the above event that I did not report. It occurred just a little to the north of the previous report. It was late in the evening and I had taken over all the airspace in the south area which can be described as a rough square surrounding Chicago, Lafayette, Indiana, and Peoria, Illinois. I don't remember any aircraft on my frequency at the time, so I was bored and just staring at the scope at a fairly wide range. I then noticed what I thought to be a departure from Grissom AFB. I only recieved a primary radar target, without a transponder. It started out somewhat normally, but immediately I realized it was quickly accelerating. Generally, at the range my radar was set for, a commercial jet moved about an eighth of an inch per 10 seconds or so. However as I watched this object continue to accelerate to the SW towards LA or God knows where, it gained unimaginable speeds in a straight line. I had to crank out my scope to maximum range to follow it, I believe 240 NM. Towards the time it left my radar it was updating its position about 1 and a half inches per ten seconds and still accelerating. As far as I know Grissom never launched missiles, and I'm sure that there were no airspace warnings that evening for such an event, but it was clearly not close to anything I was familiar with in almost 20 years of aviation experience. Another event occurred north of Baltimore in August 1996. Standing outside looking to the east I saw three white lights in a perfect equilateral triangle travelling from north to south. The lights weren't blinking as an aircrat would. They appeared to be satellites, and moving at that approximate speed. I watched them for about a minute, until they had traversed about three fouths of my horizon. Then the lead object disapeared, and within less than a second the two bases of the triangle also disapeared. It was a cloudless night. In October 2000, I was in Gopalpur, India on my rooftop terrace when I noticed a bright red light near my zenith. At first I thought it was Mars. But within seconds it began darting about in small but very distinct ways. Eventhough it hoverred and darted about for at least half an hour directly above me I can not figure out what it was. Finally my wife came home, and I got her to come up to see it. But when we returned the object had moved far to the NE and was not darting around and could have been mistaken for a red star. My last real report is second hand and comes from my mother who still swears by it. In September? 1966, my father (a PhD physicist working on the Apollo missions), and my mother (a Masters degree teacher) were on our patio on the Atlantic Ocean in Indiatlantic just south of Cape Kennedy. They were unusual for the time in that neither drank or took drugs. However they observed an object that first appeared to the east along the horizon over the ocean. At tremendous speed it moved directly over our house and hoverred silently at an altitude of about 30 feet, where it remained for over a minute. It was a classic UFO shape and had three coloured lights that rotated or blinked. I'd have to ask hor that detail. After that, the craft silently but with phenomenal accelaration departed NW. My dad called Patrick AFB up the road to see if they had seen anything unusual visually or on radar and got a negative response. These are all real, but the most vivid experience I ever had was after I mistakenly took 16 hits of Window Pane LSD. I only meant to take four. It was April 1977 in San Francisco and nearly a full moon and mostly overcast. However as the clouds parted the Moon transformed into The Mother Ship. It was enourmous, bigger than a city, countless rooms and people were there, and silent. I was transported into the ship by a beam of light, placed on a medical examination table where a person scanned me with a hand held device but never touched me. They seemed human to me, let me go where I could fly along with them, and watch out the window. It seemed we were flying at aircraft speed to the east (towards area 51?) through valleys and firebrakes or utility cuttings in the tree lines. It seemed to go on for hours and it seemed to me that some famous dead celebrities were aboard. The trip was amazing even after I got off the craft, as I jumped from mountain top to mountain top all the way down to Baja Mexico where I learned to fly like Superman all the way to India. There is still a small part of me that thinks that this really happenned as it was so vivid. The funniest one was when I lived on the 22nd floor of an apartment building in downtown Chicago facing west. I awoke that morning to observe a large object about a mile away and not much higher than I. It was silver metallic and round from my point of view. I watched it for nearly half an hour hover motionlessly and silently. I really thought this was the time of mass alien contact, until it gradually shifted to face north and I realized it was a blimp. Motionless head on blimps can be quite odd looking in the sky. I apologize for getting off the subject of my real sightings.

Google has admitted for the first time that the cars it uses to photograph residential streets for its Street View service have in some cases illicitly collected complete personal e-mails, as well as passwords, from the homes they passed.
The admission comes in the wake of allegations by regulators in Spain and Canada this week that the search company broke local laws with its drive-by data collection. Authorities in many more of the 30-odd countries where Street View cars operate have also been investigating, making the case the most damaging privacy breach to hit the search company.
Meanwhile, Google on Friday announced procedural changes designed to prevent a recurrence of the fiasco. It has blamed the problem on an unnamed engineer who added software to its cars without authorisation to pick up data being emitted by home WiFi networks.
Google first owned up to the breach in May, although it has not previously admitted that it illicitly collected personal data. It first said it had collected any "payload" data, or messages being sent over the WiFi networks, though it quickly revised the statement to say that, while recording some of this information, it typically collected only "fragments" of information.
In a blog post on Friday, however, the company conceded that it had gathered up complete e-mails and other records, though it continued to maintain that most of the 600 gigabytes of data was only in fragmentary form.
As part of internal procedural changes designed to prevent similar problems in future, Google said it had named a head of privacy for the first time.
Alma Whitten, an engineer based in London, had already had a narrower responsibility for new engineering efforts to improve user privacy, but will now also be responsible for the privacy implications of all of the company's products.
The new procedures drew short shrift from some privacy campaigners, who said they did not point to any deeper changes in the company's practices.
"This latest PR salvo is designed to help quell both EU and US policymakers enacting safeguards that would rein in some of Google's data collection practices," said Jeff Chester, founder of the Center for Digital Democracy in Washington.
Google also said it would require engineers working on new projects to keep a detailed specification of how their services would collect and use personal information, and that the new documentation would be reviewed by internal auditors.

Jim Cotter, local artist, jeweler and owner of the J.Cotter Gallery, was asked to participate in "Badges & Buttons, Waistcoats & Vests," an exhibition curated by Robert Ebendorf and Elizabeth Turrell. Cotter is one 25 artists to be included in the show. This show will be at the Society of Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, where it will be on display from Oct. 5 to Dec. 16.The 25 artists, all from the United States or the United Kingdom, have put together a group of handmade, one-of-a-kind badges and buttons to be displayed on a garment, also provided by the artist. Badges and buttons are being highlighted as a form of brooch that has a stronger message about the wearer than typical jewelry. A badge can display a person's achievements, affiliations, authority and/or beliefs, each worn with a purpose. Cotter submitted a series of shields that he had been working on toward this concept. "My feelings are that the shield is a symbol of protection from things that people can't control," Cotter said. "Shields have been used by hunters and warriors throughout the ages, but with the development of technology, shields have transformed into something else. The wearer is conveying strength and protection for each individual's own personal fears and triumphs."This collection includes shield broaches made from steel and gold leaf, as well as painted wood and sterling silver. While this exhibition will be on display until mid-December, a collection of Cotter's shield series is available at the J.Cotter Galleries in Vail and Beaver Creek. Shields in a variety of formats (rings, pendants, broaches and earrings) made out of an assortment of materials (from gold with diamonds to steel, wood and sterling silver) are available there.J. Cotter Gallery was established in 1970 in Vail and continues to uphold the tradition of bringing contemporary jewelry and art to the Vail Valley. J. Cotter Gallery can be visited in Vail on Wall Street and in Beaver Creek Village on Market Square. For more information on this exhibition and Cotter's jewelry, call 970-827-4222 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The flooding hit parts of the Big Sandy region very hard.
Highway department officials say most roads are open now.
The following roads are still closed due to high water, backwater, or slides (current as of 2:30 p.m. Monday, April 16, 2007):
KY 194 Mile point 5.4 to Pike County line at mile point 12.155.
KY 302 Mile point 3.
KY 1700 Mile point 000-001 near US 23 intersection.
KY 292 Various spots along the road throughout the county.
KY 1714 Wolf Creek; several spots.
KY 460 Shelbiana; mile point zero to one, pavement failure; detour marked for KY 1460 (Chloe Road)
KY 1426 Town Mountain Road; slide.
KY 611 Poor Bottom; between mile points one and two; slide.
All other roads are now open.
The sky was sunny and blue in Shelbiana on Monday, but the damage on US 460 is a reminder of the day before.
Highway department officials are taking a look at the damage throughout the Big Sandy area and fixing any problems the rain left behind.
The Commissioner of the Department of Highways, Marc D. Williams, said some roads are in better condition than others, "We've got a lot of roads that have reopened the flood waters have subsided but we've got a lot of roads like US 460 here that are going to be in need of some significant repair work."
Officials say US 460 is one of the busiest in Pike County so they are doing everything they can to clean up and repair the highway.
There is some good news, they say even though these power lines are almost on the ground, no one in the county lost power and there were no injuries.
"We'll be out there twenty four, seven until we get the roads clear inspecting bridges, cleaning culverts and clearing debris off the roads," Williams said.
Dan Hall says it could take several weeks for the road to be completely repaired and it's important that everyone be patient.
The Pike County Judge-Executive has declared a state of emergency for that county.
If you see any other damage in the Big Sandy area or have any problems traveling.
Officials ask you to call the highway department at 606-433-7791.

Dunedin reaps benefits from craft beer
By TOM GERMOND
Article published on
Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014
Photo by TOM GERMOND
Rick Clemo, left, and Andy Polce, owners of the House of Beer in Dunedin, have been pleased with the growth of their business.
DUNEDIN The owners of the House of Beer on Broadway see the positive side of having competition nearby: Dunedin has become a destination for craft beer lovers.
They call it The Beermuda Triangle. Dont get lost unless you want to.
As the locals know, just north on Broadway is the 7venth Sun Brewery. To the east on Douglas Avenue is the Dunedin Brewery.
I have never seen an industry where we help each other as much, House of Beer co-owner Andy Polce said. When 7venth Sun opened up, (2012) we were all for it. We get it; this town gets it.
The craft beer industry besides creating destinations has benefited the local economy by creating jobs, taxes and spinoff businesses.
Rick Clemo, Polces partner, is pleased with the growth in business at the Dunedin House of Beer since the establishment opened 5 1/2 years ago.
We started very modestly. We had 13 bar stools and 40 taps, Clemo said. We have since expanded twice; now we have the whole building. I can easily say it exceeded my expectations on this particular business.
Polce has financial planning and real estate background; Clemos background is in computer science. The former neighbors and home brewers got to talking and decided they wanted to open a craft beer bar.
You couldnt even get a Sierra Nevada downtown when we opened, Polce said.
Though craft beer was the catalyst, people come to House of Beer because its a friendly neighborhood bar attracting people of all ages, Polce said.
They also opened stores in Palm Harbor, Gainesville and Citrus Park.
The Dunedin House of Beer has about a dozen employees. Two of them are home brewers.
They have been trying to open their own brewery, Polce said. They have been in the process for a couple of years. We are helping them get started and meantime we are taking advantage of the fact that these guys brew great beer that we are going to be serving here. Its as local as you can get. All those monies get pumped right back into this town.
Craft beer breweries and bars have helped revitalize urban areas across the country.
They are bringing people down and they are spawning neighboring businesses, Polce said.
Some types of businesses have to make substantial investments in dilapidated warehouses and other structures to open.
Breweries dont have to do all that, Polce said. Garage doors opening it are fine. Theyre wonderful, Polce said.
Based in Boulder, Colo., The Brewers Association, a voice for craft brewers, says that at the end of 2013, the number of breweries in the United States reached the highest level seen in the country since the early 1870s, 2,822. Of that amount, 98 percent were small and independent craft brewers.
The craft brewing industry contributed $33.9 billion to the U.S. economy in 2012, creating more than 360,000 jobs.
It does have a profound effect on the economy, said Bart Watson, chief economist for the Brewers Association.
Craft beer has reinvigorated some of the local supply chains, he said, and brewers are much more likely to incorporate local ingredients into their beers beyond malt and hops, such as fruit from Florida or a local coffee blend if they are making a coffee stout.
Its a much more finely meshed economic impact than in the case of the overall beer industry, he said.
Along those lines, Mary Johnson, owner of the Beer and Winemakers Pantry in Pinellas Park, said the sales of beer-making equipment have increased substantially in the past two years.
I guess that could be with all the breweries opening up or just a general interest in craft beer, said Johnson, whose business has been opened for 41 years and is the first home-brew shop in Florida.
People come to her store for equipment, such as fermenting buckets, brew kettles, as well as ingredients: the hops, the malts, the grains and the yeast.
In the past years, the business has doubled the line of ingredients for beer types.
Its getting more specific as far as the ingredients go, she said. Years ago it was more generic, she said.
Marketing becomes local as well, so the economic impact of the craft beer business spreads out.
The nationally known brewing companies arent as likely as the crafter beers to spend money on advertising in the local newspapers, Watson said.
Craft brewers are part of the community. For many of these small brewers they are not selling their beer more than a five-mile radius around their brewery so they are going to connect with local advertisers. They need to connect with their consumers in a local way because thats where their market is, Watson said.
When a craft brewing wants to make T-shirts, they are much more likely to look for a local T-shirt printer rather than a single national source, Watson said.
He believes the industry will continue to grow, also in Florida, which he said is under indexed when taken in account some of the per capita measures for the number of breweries.
When you look at Florida in breweries in capita, it ranks 46th in the country and barrel produced per capita it ranks 45th. Florida has a huge population and should be able to support a ton of breweries. And we are seeing that. Every month there are new breweries. Its growing pretty rapidly, Watson said.
He believes Floridas growth in the craft beer industry will begin to trend toward the national average.
Down there in Florida, you have producers that are growing as fast as they can make beer. Look at Cigar City (Tampa). They just signed a deal with Brew Hub, a partner brewer who is going to be ramping up their production because they cant produce fast enough to meet the demand in Florida, Watson said.
Florida has 66 craft breweries, ranking 13th in the United States, with an economic impact of $875 million.
Several Craft beer establishments continue to open in downtown St. Petersburg.
The breweries that are popping up are creating jobs, Polce said. Its been a booming industry. The last five years the growth has been insane.
Clem and Polce, who both live in Dunedin, take pride in their community involvement. They participate in a lot of events and help raise money for charities.
They like what they have to offer for the customers, and judging by the growth of their business, the feeling is mutual.
Once you go craft beer, you dont go back, Polce said.

The Vestax PDX-3000Mix is a turntable built for mixing and scratching. It is similar to the Vestax PDX-3000, but uses an aluminum S shaped tone arm for improved tracking, durability, and tone. This combined with an adjustable tone arm base allows for a powerful skip resistance, allowing scratching as well as a multitude of fine adjustments necessary for mixing.
Loading latest prices from ProductWiki...
The adjustable torque simulator sets various resistances to touching the record, enabling slight touches to make adjustments for beat matching or strong pushes to start the record up again after scratching or stalling. The direct drive engine goes from stopped to full speed in 0.5 seconds, and uses an adjustable break control to allow users to determine behavior when the motor is disengaged. Pitch control is handled through a fader, and a MIDI input connection enables external control of the turntable.

Belly Fat and Other Triggers of Inflammation
Trans fats
These fats are doubly bad in the body because they not only raise unhealthy LDL cholesterol levels, but they also lower healthy HDL cholesterol levels. Research has found that individuals with a high dietary intake of trans fats have more visceral fat. These fats also further increase inflammation in the body.

By ARIEH O'SULLIVAN / THE MEDIA LINE
10/06/2011 18:35
"C-Music" is scheduled to be installed on all the country's airliners; foreign airlines hesitant to purchase due to lack of clear threat, cost.Talkbacks ()Reports of 20,000 missing shoulder fired anti-aircraft rockets in Libya have sent shivers down the spines of many airline security officials, who fear they may find their way into the hands of terrorists. US Senator Barbara Boxer has already called for hundreds of American jetliners to be outfitted with protection from such threats.
No such commercially available protection system exists, yet. But an Israeli company has developed the world's only civilian system that can be mounted on a passenger liner, which detects incoming missiles and -- without shooting them down -- deflects them with laser technology.
Called the C-Music, it is designed for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters and is expected to be available on the market shortly, having already received the necessary certification from civil aviation authorities around the world, said Adi Dar, general manager of El-Op Ltd., one of the leading electro-optics companies in the world.
"We see a huge potential for this application," Dar told The Media Line. "The market out there is huge. You can do the math yourself, but there are thousands of helicopters and hundreds of strategic planes."
Two years ago, the Israeli government awarded a $79 million contract to El-Op, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems one of the world's top 50 defense contractors, to develop the missile defense system for commercial passenger liners operating by the Israeli airlines El Al, Arkia and Israir as part of a "Sky Shield" air transport defense plan.
The impetus for developing a missile defense system for commercial airliners came following the attempt by al-Qaida to shoot down an Israeli passenger plane in Mombasa, Kenya in 2002.
El-Op gave journalists on Wednesday a look at the system, which is in its final stages of development. Mike Yanuv of El-Op, said C-Music was an acronym for: Commercial-Multi Spectral Infrared Countermeasure against shoulder-fired missiles. It is based on what is known as the DIRCM, or directional infrared countermeasure system.
"This system is being installed on all the civilian air liners in Israel. I can't give you the timeframe, but we are at the very advanced stages of development," he said.
It works by detecting and tracking any shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile launched at the host aircraft. When the missile gets within a certain range, C-Music fires a laser directly at the missile's seeker, deflecting it from the plane. It has a smaller design turret for helicopters, business and special mission aircraft and a larger self-contained pod with more powerful lasers and multiple detectors commercial airliners, aerial tankers and large business aircraft.
Yanuv said the system is superior to the Flight Guard, produced by the rival Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), since it used a laser rather than pyrotechnic flares to divert the incoming missile from its course. The IAI system has encountered difficulties with US and European civil aviation authorities, which have refused to certify out of safety concerns.
"Our system has all the required licensing," Yanuv said.
El-Op declined to give the price for the system, but Israeli reports have said each one costs about $1.2 million.
"It has potential, but it is expensive," aviation expert Danny Shalom told The Media Line. "In Israel, the government is footing the bill for the system. Commercial airliners around the world would need to be obligated to install this by their governments or given subsidies before I can see sales taking off there."
Arie Egozi, an aviation writer for Israel Defense website, added that commercial aviation companies are likely to be reluctant to acquire it since they don't yet see that serious a threat. The pod would also cut into revenue, since it takes up the space equivalent to three passenger seats.
According to US State Department figures, more than 40 civilian planes have been hit by surface-to-air missiles since the 1970s. Shalom said the missing anti-aircraft missiles in Libya, known as MANPADS for man-portable air defense system, constituted a very serious threat to global aviation.
Dar, of El-Op, acknowledged that while the military market was fertile, commercial airlines are taking their time about purchasing the technology because the need for protection from MANPADS had not yet been driven home.
"When we look into the future four or five years from now, just as we have electronic warfare suites on every [military] platform, I am confident that every platform will have a DIRCM to protect it against missiles," Dar said. http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=240837

well then wtf is this?! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=10f_1317163743&comments=1
20,000 missiles missing, Lasers being attatched to civil aircraft that are to stop missiles.
lasers, that go on airliners, that stop missiles.
pretty similar to me!
and im betting its for the same reasons; to avoid the exact same threats! [those 20,000 missing surface to air missiles]

A town-owned property at the corner of Willow Avenue and Elm Street in Hyannis received a bid to purchase of $195,500 from the current lessee, James Shaughnessey of Cape Cod Fuel.
The .22-acre property has a building of about 2,100 square feet. It once served as the garage for the Barnstable Police Department when the station was located on Elm Street. It was deemed surplus by the town administration and put out to bid over the summer with a minimum bid of $155,000.
Town Manager Tom Lynch is recommending that the property be sold "as is" to Shaughnessey. The town council was expected to support sale of the property this week.

Product Description
A gentle game about helping each other to build Sand Castles by the Beach. It's a quiet beautiful day with water lapping at the shore. But a wind begins to stir and some large Waves move slowly toward our Castles. Can we finish all three of them before those big Waves wash in? Let's gather some sand, share our pails and shovels, and work hard together. This way, we have a much better chance of finishing. But, oh, oh.... The Waves are getting closer and closer. Should we make a big Sand Wall to protect the castle? Or take a chance and keep building the castle up? Decisions, decisions. All in all, an exciting game of strategy that gets us thinking.
