A Look Back at HIPAA's Data Breach Security and Protection History
For healthcare businesses, the wait is over. When the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) released its Omnibus Rule on January 17, 2013 amending the HIPAA privacy and data breach protection laws, it capped a 17 year evolution of medical cyber security regulations. In 1996 The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was […][ READ MORE ]

Over the last quarter century minority-owned firms in the U.S. have experienced phenomenal growth, and it is imperative that minority-owned businesses continue to thrive and prosper. These businesses are far more likely to employ minorities than White-owned firms in the same business niches. But minority-owned businesses will face two major hurdles in the years ahead. Minority business owners are facing fierce competition from offshore vendors, who are capable of offering globally competitive prices for the same high quality, white-collar services that, in 2005, 29 of the 100 BE [Black Enterprise] firms provided. If…Read More
Q and A with Timothy Bates and William Bradford As you look at venture capital investment in minority businesses, how do you find that minority entrepreneurship has changed in recent decades? The depth of expertise among minority entrepreneurs has grown substantially. However, while market access has broadened and financial-capital availability has expanded, parity with non-minority entrepreneurs has not been achieved. Capital-market access is an enduring barrier, thwarting the size and scope of minority business enterprises (MBEs) What do we know about the new African American…Read More

I am racing my 3rd Xterra tomorrow for the season. Xterra is a point series to earn a spot for the USA Championship. I am currently ranked 2nd in the Atlantic region. One point behind the first place holder. Hopefully tomorrow will bring me that needed point.
The Trek Superfly 100 is ready to go. I double checked everything and had my last shakeout ride Thursday. I could not be happier with performance of the bike. For my riding style the Superfly 29'er has definitely made me a faster rider.
I didEx2Adventures 9hr Cranky Monkey race at Rocky Gap in May. I was able to get 6 laps completed. It was the best pre-ride training for Xterra will use 90% of the same course.
I have made some adjustments in my transition setup. I will cover my T1 and T2 in a YouTube video next week. I have dialed in my nutrition with GU Energy gels. I have a triple threat bar at the start of the bike,GU Roctane at the end of the bike, and a GU Roctance every 2miles of the run. I wash it all down with GU Brew and try to finish at least 2 bottles.
The results should be out in a few days and I will post another update and video.
Race Fast, Race Safe.

The Park could not exist in its present form without the volunteers who manage, fund-raise and perform much of its upkeep.
Our main fundraising activity takes place on the first Saturday in November. There is a bonfire, a funfair with food concessions and two firework displays. The first display is designed for our younger visitors. The second is usually a bit noisier!
The organising committee meets from early in the year planning the event. We have our own team of volunteers, trained to professional standards, who plan, build and fire the displays. More volunteers prepare the Park in advance and clear up afterwards. Others staff the ticket gates and steward the event.
Each August one Sunday afternoon is given over to the Wythall Village Carnival.
Volunteers plan the event, book the entertainment, sell stall pitches, produce the programme booklet, organise the Classic Car display, prepare the Park, staff the 'Association' stalls and car park on the day and clear up afterwards! The Parish Council make a financial contribution to provide free admission for all.
Committee Members
Those who serve on the General Committee, Management, Club, Carnival, Bonfire, House & Park, and Health & Safety committees are all volunteers. As well as new members for these committees we need people interested in PR and advertising to further promote the Association.
House & Park
The 'House & Park' crew are active most Saturday mornings performing essential maintenance on the buildings, equipment and grounds of the Park.
Membership Records
These are maintained by a volunteer who also ensures that renewal reminders are sent out as required and the renewals processed.
The Wythall Community Newsletter is produced and delivered twice a year to each residence in the Parish. It contains reports from many of our clubs and voluntary organisations together with reports from the Parish Council. The printing costs are shared between the Community Association and the Parish Council. The production and delivery is undertaken by our volunteers.
Yes - another volunteer.
During spring, summer and autumn the Park is mown at least once a week by volunteers some of whom are members of clubs using the Park (archers, cricket, dog training).

Great Classroom Action
October 17th, 2013 by Dan Meyer
Nathaniel Highstein engineers a counterintuitive moment about graphing, one that subverts his students' expectations and creates intellectual need for new knowledge:
I love this problem because the answer becomes totally clear when you make a time vs. elevation graph – and the answer violates nearly everyone's expectations and leads to a surprise! Many students got stuck in their initial guess, and even when we went over together what the intersection of the two lines implied, they tried desperately to draw a version of the graph where the two lines didn't intersect. When they figured out that even skydiving down wouldn't work, some resorted to teleportation.
Option 1. Explain how to use place value.
Option 2. Explain how to use place value while first asserting its usefulness to humanity.
Option 3. Explain how to use place value while first putting students in a position to experience life without any kind of place value.
Anna Weltman took option three:
Three fingers is Na Na Na. But four fingers – now, that's a lot of fingers. Na Na Na Na is quite a mouthful and it's getting hard to tell the numbers apart. Here is where the cavemen bring in a new word. Na Na Na Na is Ba.
We continue counting. Ba Na, Ba Na Na (giggles), Ba Na Na Na – now what? The kids think until – Ba Ba, of course!
I remember Hung-Hsi Wu's frustration with incomplete pattern problems. Paraphrasing him: "You can't find the next term in the sequence '4, 10, 16, … ,' because it could be anything." He's right, of course, but you can find a first term and Chris Hunter turns that fact into an icebreaker and a robust exercise in justification. He asks students to "Extend the pattern 'Ann, Brad, Carol, … ,' in as many ways as you can."
Not mathy enough for you? Remember, not all teachers will have a positive attitude towards mathematics. This is a safe icebreaker. You can always follow it up with the mathier "Extend the pattern 5, 10, 15, … , in as many ways as you can."
The first week of Exploring the Math Twitter Blogosphere asked teachers for their favorite tasks. Lots of people mentioned Four Fours. Megan Schmidt offers us an interesting cousin to that task and a useful description of what makes it effective for students.
The students also developed some interesting strategies, like grouping pairs that totaled 16 and 25. By the end of the 30 minutes, every single student had arrived at the correct solution. I'm not sure if it was the physical manipulative or the puzzle-like feel of the task, but I was so proud of this group of kids.
My guess: it's the puzzle-like feel. (Extra credit: What makes a math task feel puzzling?)

I like the hiking graphing assignment, and use ones like it. What I don't see is it being counterintuitive.
And how many people assign 'graphing stories' like this teacher does? I do this in physics.

Hey Dan,
Great post.And I'm totally agree with you. Math was always a subject that is full of puzzles for me.

Protocol 2 is slower because it includes a real per-packet MAC instead
of a weak checksum. You can save some overhead by using a truncated MAC
like hmac-sha1-96, but there is always going to be more work per packet.
I have looked at implementing AES CCM, which could be much faster,
particularly on platforms with AES implemented in CPU instructions, but
it doesn't fit nicely in the cipher and MAC negotiation mechanism.

Today's modern data center is no longer constrained by the four walls that surround it.
Join Mike Resseler in this webinar to learn how Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure — part of NEW Veeam Availability Suite™ 9.5 — can help you optimize resource allocation to drive scalability and minimize costs.
You'll learn how you can:
Digital data is growing faster than ever, and that exponential growth can present major challenges for an organization. Customers, partners, suppliers and employees are all connected, and everyone demands access to information anytime, anywhere and from any device. The PGA Tour Superstore is no different – it has all of the major challenges of a big box retailer and an e-commerce entity.
Here's your opportunity to hear the executive perspective and learn more about:
Keeping Availability levels high on Linux systems is a pressing need for organizations today. Critical applications, both on-premises and in public clouds, on Linux operating systems can be the lifeblood for companies of all sizes.
But, what if you aren't a Linux expert?
In this webinar, join Veeam® expert Rick Vanover to learn practical tips for keeping Linux systems available, including:
Sizing backup space can be quite challenging. There are multiple factors to take into account. What is the retention time? How much source data should be used? Can the data be copied over the WAN connection? In the session, we'll focus on two tools you can use to help you size your environmentKey Takeaways:
The VMware vSphere architecture offers many advantages for server backup and recovery. It changes the traditional techniques used to back up servers by leveraging virtualization features to streamline backup and recovery, making it more efficient. It also provides more flexibility and options for performing backups, restoring VMs and implementing disaster recovery (DR).
Watch the first part of the session "VMware Backup Best Practices: 2015 Edition", presented at VeeamON 2015 by Anton Gostev, Veeam VP Product Management, and learn about:
It can be challenging to manage and secure all of your virtualized resources, especially for SMBs and mid-market customers that may not have dedicated virtualization and security specialists.
Join our webinar to hear virtualization experts Symon Perriman (5nine Software VP and Hyper-V MVP) and Zane Allyn (Veeam® Systems Engineer) explain how IT pros can be successful in deploying and managing High-Availability infrastructures from a unified console using 5nine Manager. Learn best practices for virtualization security to help:
Watch this webinar to learn how NEW Veeam Availability Suite™ 9.5 FULLY integrates with Microsoft 2016 data center technologies to modernize your private cloud platform and enterprise applications including:
In today's data center, you'll need to recover a single database far more often than you'll need to recover all of SQL Server but yet your backup and recovery strategy focuses on recovering the enterprise, not the daily recovery needs of that enterprise.
Join Jason Kan from Veeam® for a discussion about the hype and reality of recovering your SQL databases at a granular level. Watch this interactive, demo-filled webinar to learn about tools vs. backups, where virtualization fits in and how to successfully protect your SQL environment at an enterprise and granular level.
Learn more about:
Mission-critical application Availability is imperative for organizations in this new age of IT. Requirements for 24/7 access to applications and data and ever faster service level agreements (SLAs) for recovery point and time objectives (RPOs and RTOs) make choosing the right virtualization solution more critical.
A recent IDC research study concluded that application downtime costs exceeding $100,000 per hour is the median, although that cost can run substantially higher for some businesses. Can your business tolerate potential data/money/time loss, or is it time to invest in a better Availability solution?
Join Veeam Director of Alliance Product Marketing Rob Emsley and Phil Goodwin, Research Director at IDC as they discuss the results of IDC's recent independent survey of more than 1,200 customers who:
The 3-2-1 Rule is a timeless rule that effectively addresses every failure scenario.
This rule answers two very important questions: How many backup files should I have and where should I store them.
Every admin and manager in charge of ensuring data availability for an enterprise should live by the 3-2-1 Rule, which suggests that a business maintains three copies of data, on two different media and store one copy in a remote location.
In this session, we will identify a number of possibilities you have to guarantee availability for your data center and how following the rules will help ensure you experience zero errors during recovery.

The Catalyst
Biopharmaceutical innovators work every day to build a robust pipeline and develop new medicines that help patients cope with some of the most debilitating diseases. This week, we released a new Medicines in Development report on mental health disorders that discussed a number of new approaches being pursued in order to treat these conditions. Currently, an estimated 61.5 million Americans suffer from mental illness, or one in every four U.S.
So often the value of medicines gets lost in media reports when the focus is almost exclusively on cost.
Are we as a society willing to accept the fact that medicines, while not always inexpensive, provide great return on value because a child's life has been saved or a friend was able to beat cancer?
Each year at the National Prescription Drug Abuse Summit, discussions take place regarding the latest resources and tools for states, pharmacists, physicians, and law enforcement to use in combating the misuse and abuse of prescription medicines.
Yesterday's release of the Special 301 report by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) once again underscores the challenges faced by innovators when confronted with deteriorating protections for intellectual property across the globe.

The Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma has been awarded more than $112,000 in a federal grant from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The $112,099 grant announced Thursday is to provide continued support for the tribe's water pollution control program.
The funds will be used to take water samples to assess surface water quality on tribal lands, compile data which may show changes over time and determine if a more thorough watershed management program is needed.
Sampling data will determine whether water quality standards are being met, note any changes in the quality or condition of the tribe's water and provide planning tools to improve the function and health of stream ecosystems.
The tribe is based in Miami in northeastern Oklahoma.

How to Draw Winter Fashions
Draw a scarf suitable for a man.
Sketch a male upper torso with both arms bent. For the part of the scarf that goes around the neck, draw a curved line right below the chin and another curved line just below the base of the neck, creating a curved shape that points down on one side.
For the end of the scarf, add a rectangular shape coming down from the pointed, curved shape. Angle the end of the rectangle shape and add fringe.

As close to a biography of David Foster Wallace as you'll get OCT 22 2008
In 1996, an editor from Rolling Stone named David Lipsky spent a lot of time with David Foster Wallace and wrote a biographical piece that was eventually not published in the magazine. When Wallace died last month, RS sent Lipsky to interview his family and friends. The resulting piece, The Lost Years & Last Days of David Foster Wallace, is a unique combination of a look at a writer at the top of his game and a man at the end of his life. It was very difficult for me to read, for reasons which I may never really understand. Wallace meant a lot to me, full stop.
Here are some bits from the article that resonated with me. On the about-face that happened with his professors a University of Arizona after The Broom of the System1 was published:
Viking won the auction for the novel, "with something like a handful of trading stamps." Word spread; professors turned nice. "I went from borderline ready-to-get-kicked-out to all these tight-smiled guys being, 'Glad to see you, we're proud of you, you'll have to come over for dinner.' It was so delicious: I felt kind of embarrassed for them, they didn't even have integrity about their hatred."
On expectations:
The five-year clock was ticking again. He'd played football for five years. He'd played high-level tennis for five years. Now he'd been writing for five years. "What I saw was, 'Jesus, it's the same thing all over again.' I'd started late, showed tremendous promise -- and the minute I felt the implications of that promise, it caved in. Because see, by this time, my ego's all invested in the writing. It's the only thing I've gotten food pellets from the universe for. So I feel trapped: 'Uh-oh, my five years is up, I've gotta move on.' But I didn't want to move on."
On self-consciousness:
"I remember this being a frequent topic of conversation," Franzen says, "his notion of not having an authentic self. Of being just quikc enough to construct a pleasing self for whomever he was talking to. I see now he wasn't just being funny -- there was something genuinely compromised in David. At the time I thought, 'Wow, he's even more self-conscious than I am.'"
On fame:
At the end of his book tour, I spent a week with David. He talked about the "greasy thrill of fame" and what it might mean to his writing. "When I was 25, I would've given a couple of digits off my non-use hand for this," he said. "I feel good, because I want to be doing this for 40 more years, you know? So I've got to find some way to enjoy this that doesn't involve getting eaten by it."
On shyness:
He talked about a kind of shyness that turned social life impossibly complicated. "I think being shy basically means self-absorbed to the point that it makes it difficult to be around other people. For instance, if I'm hanging out with you, I can't even tell whether I like you or not because I'm too worried about whether you like me."
And I don't even know what this is all about:
"I go through a loop in which I notice all the ways I am self-centered and careerist and not true to standards and values that transcend my own petty interests, and feel like I'm not one of the good ones. But then I countenance the fact that at least here I am worrying about it, noticing all the ways I fall short of integrity, and I imagine that maybe people without any integrity at all don't notice or worry about it; so then I feel better about myself. It's all very confusing. I think I'm very honest and candid, but I'm also proud of how honest and candid I am -- so where does that put me?"
You have to get the magazine to read the whole thing; it's worth it. Rolling Stone also has an interview with Lipsky about the article.

The boys state golf championships finished across the state with a majority of local teams taking the hardware.
Creighton Prep won the Class A team title while Lincoln Southwest and Lincoln East placed second and third respectively. The Knights of Lincoln Southeast finished 5th with Columbus and Kearney rounding out the bottom half of the standings.
Max Rudder of Norris won the Class B individual title shooting a two-day total of 147, including a second-round 73 to capture the gold.
"It feels great all my hard work paying off also for my team and for all the seniors. I figured if i could keep it at even or two over i'd be right in the hunt. I knew if i just kept the ball on the course and not hit any ob and make all my putts it would be a good day," Rudder said.
Rudder also led the Titans to their first state championship in boys golf. Norris finished 12 shots better than Omaha Skutt.
For the second time in three years, the state championship goes to Sutton in Class C. Reid Wiebe led the Mustangs with a two-day total of 154. The Mustangs held off Plainview by one stroke to win the title.
Heartland Lutheran captures the gold in Class D with a two day team total of 684. Bancroft-Rosalie and Friend placed second and third, while Humphrey St. Francis, Cambridge, Franklin and Bertrand rounded out the top 10.

Gridded ionization chamber for detection of x‐ray wave activity in tokamak plasmas56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138301View Description Hide Description
In order to carry out x‐ray observations of magnetohydrodynamic wave activity of the plasma during DD and DT (deuterium‐beam‐heated deuterium and tritiumplasmas, respectively) operation of the TokamakFusion Test Reactor (TFTR), we will need detectors not susceptible to nuclear radiation damage. We have investigated the use of gridded ionization chambers as fast nondamageable x‐ray detectors. A prototype chamber is described which was tested on the PDX tokamak. These tests and laboratory tests with a pulsed x‐ray source suggest that the detector has sufficient sensitivity and speed for the required measurements.
High sensitivity or streak mode interferometer for pulsed plasma diagnostics56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138302View Description Hide Description
A Michelson interferometer using a 5‐mW He–Ne laser can either be used in a photodiode detector mode to resolve transient fringe shifts ≲10− 4 fringe or in a streak mode to obtain entire nanosecond resolved density profiles in a single shot. Extreme sensitivity is achieved by avoiding most noise sources. The effects of plasma light and of ray deflection due to density gradients are compensated for by the use of a lens, stop, and filter combination. Vibration induced signals are nearly eliminated by the use of feedback stabilization. A differential light detector system which subtracts signals at opposite sides of a fringe protects against laser noise and other spurious signals while doubling the sensitivity. In the streak mode a cylindrical lens beam expander allows utilization of nearly all of the laser light.
Charge exchange neutral particle mass and energy analyzer for the JT‐60 tokamak56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138303View Description Hide Description
Design considerations and experimental results are described for a charge exchange neutral particle mass and energy analyzer for JT‐60, which analyzes H, D, and He simultaneously up to a maximum energy of 110 keV. The analyzer has separately a 180° deflection magnet for momentum analysis and an electrostatic deflector for mass analysis. The way to control the effect of the electric fringe fields in order to expand the detectable energy range is studied by numerical simulation. The deflector is then designed, made of two triangular plates and three additional electrodes for the control of the fringe fields. The effect of the deflector is demonstrated experimentally. Energy and mass resolution and the relation between the incident ion energy and the magnetic field strength are measured. The results of the calibrationexperiments agree with the designed value.
Optimization of H− production in a magnetically filtered multicusp source56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138304View Description Hide Description
Different techniques to increase the H− yield in a multicusp source have been investigated. It is shown that the extracted H− current can be enhanced by optimizing the discharge voltage, the neutral gas pressure, or by employing a magnetoelectrostatic containment scheme. A factor of 6 increase in H− output has been achieved by placing the extractor very close to the magnetic filter. It is also found that the extracted electron current is much reduced at this optimum geometry.
Low‐energy helium nozzle beam56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138305View Description Hide Description
A high‐intensity supersonic nozzle beam source is described, whose beam energy can be varied between 2 and 170 meV (helium). Experimental performance and time‐of‐flight measurements on cold helium beams are reported. Condensation in the free jet expansions of helium has been studied by mass spectrometric detection of He+ 2. A correlation between the maximum speed ratio and the onset of clustering is observed.
Design for improved resolution in a time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer using a supersonic beam and laser ionization source56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138306View Description Hide Description
This article describes the design of a time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) constructed for optimum use with resonance‐enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy in supersonic beams. The use of the supersonic beam results in a great improvement in resolution, i.e., at least 800 at mass 93. Ion packets on the order of 10 ns FWHM or less are observed at our flat dual channel plate detector and the resolution ultimately appears to be laser‐pulse‐width limited. The design of this TOFMS utilizes fast‐pulsed molecular beam techniques to allow the use of reservoir pressures >1 atm with a large orifice (0.5 mm) in order to provide high on‐axis intensity for maximizing the photoionization signal produced by our pulsed laser system with the use of only modest pumping capacity. It also uses a skimmed beam, differential pumping, and a liquid‐N2 baffle in order to maintain the flight tube at pressures on the order of 5×10− 7 Torr and to eliminate organic contamination from the ionization region.
Pseudostatistical light chopper for time‐of‐flight analysis of laser excited species56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138307View Description Hide Description
Application of the cross correlation chopper technique to the measurement of a time‐of‐flight (TOF) spectrum of excited atoms by modulation of the exciting laser light is described. The principle and the practical aspects are discussed in a comparison with mechanical systems. Results are given for angular resolved scattering of excited sodium from potassium.
Simple capacitor charging power supply for a 100‐pps laser pulser56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138308View Description Hide Description
A very simple, compact, and inexpensive capacitor charging power supply for a 100‐pps laser pulser is described. Unlike dc resonant charging, this power supply does not use a high‐voltage filter capacitor, charging choke, and diode.
Linear high‐voltage ramp generator for use in selective field ionization of Rydberg atoms56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138309View Description Hide Description
An electronic circuit has been constructed that generates a positive 3‐kV linear ramp at adjustable slopes 125–500 V/μs, extendable to at least 1800 V/μs, for use in time‐resolved selective field ionization of highly excited Rydberg atoms. Its principle of operation is as follows: An inductor, the primary of a 10:1 pulse transformer, is precharged with magnetic flux. The primary circuit is then opened and the collapse of flux is controlled by an integrator circuit with feedback from the secondary. An output circuit eliminates irregularities during the startup of the output pulse. The quiescent output is less than 40 mV. The output ramp, which can be fired at up to 1‐kHz repetition rate and can drive typical capacitor‐plate loads, has a slope that is constant within 2% from bottom to top, adjustable over a 4:1 range by a single potentiometer. The circuit has been extensively used for the detection and resolution of final‐state ensembles in Rydberg spectroscopy and collision experiments.
Toward improved temporal resolution in electron coincidence experiments56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138310View Description Hide Description
The two major contributions to the time spread of electrons detected after energy analysis in coincidence techniques are from the angular spread in the spectrometers and energy dispersion. We describe a compensation technique for each of these contributions. To compensate for the angular spread we would couple the first hemispherical electron spectrometer with an identical one, by means of an electron lens with a magnification of −1. Compensation for the energy spread is possible because in the spectrometers faster electrons have longer transit times, while the opposite is the case for electrons in field‐free space and in electron lenses. In each case there is a linear relationship between the time spread and the spread in kinetic energies.
Infrared detector system for polarized single‐crystal absorption spectra with a microspectrophotometer56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138311View Description Hide Description
A near‐infrared, double‐beam, light detection system is described for use with a microspectrophotometer in polarized absorptionspectroscopic studies of single crystals. The appartus employs a modulated light source and exhibits high sensitivity with good stability. Its application to a variety of spectroscopic problems has provided accurate spectral recordings with a wide range of linearity in response.
Opposed coil magnet calculations for large sample and unilateral nuclear‐magnetic resonance56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138312View Description Hide Description
A magnet configuration has been devised, consisting of two nested coaxial coils with the current in the inner coil circulating in an opposite sense from that in the outer coil. The magnetic field generated by such an opposed pair exhibits a small region of homogeneity outside of the magnet itself, creating the possibility of constructing a unilateral nuclear‐magnetic‐resonance device capable of examining an object from only one side. Calculations on one special case, the inside‐out Helmholtz configuration, indicate a volume of 10 cm3 with homogeneity of ±1% for a coil of outer radius 10 cm, and 0.1 cm3 with 100‐ppm homogeneity. A second special case, consisting of two sets of opposed solenoids arranged in a quasi‐Helmholtz manner, offers homogeneity comparable to a conventional Helmholtz pair of similar diameter but with an increase in separation of as much as a factor of 2.
Microvibration sample magnetometer: A force‐type measurement56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138313View Description Hide Description
A simple microvibrating sample magnetometer (MVSM), particularly inexpensive, sensitive, and versatile has been developed. An alternating magnetic field superposed to a steady uniform magnetic field is applied to the sample. The sample undergoes a periodic motion around an equilibrium position, causing a pressure fluctuation within a closed gas cell which is detected as an acoustic signal by a microphone.
Detection of a force between a charged metal foil and a current‐carrying conductor56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138314View Description Hide Description
An experiment is described which demonstrates a force between static charges on a metal foil and a large steady electric current in a wire. The observed force vectors cannot be readily explained in terms of diamagnetism,paramagnetism,eddycurrents,thermal convectioncurrents, or the Poynting electric field associated with a dccurrent outside the path of the current.
Double tilt heating specimen holder for surface imaging by reflection electron microscopy using an EM 300 Philips microscope56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138315View Description Hide Description
A new type of heating specimen holder which allows reflection electron microscopy (REM) imaging with incident and azimuthal angle control is described. A REM image is presented, from a bulk specimen whose surface was prepared i n s i t u, and shows strong contrasts due to atomic steps.
Thermocouple probe for surface‐temperature measurement56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138316View Description Hide Description
A portable thermocouple probe is designed with physical and geometric properties such that its principal performance characteristics can be predicted from relatively uncomplicated mathematical models. Theory and experiment show that usual thermocouple errors and surface‐temperature perturbations can be kept unimportant in a variety of practical applications. Techniques are described for using the probe to measuretemperature of stationary and moving materials, including thermal insulating materials and thin sheets where temperature is normally severely perturbed during contact measurements. It is convenient to use the device in combination with a battery‐operated digital readout device, permitting temperatures within a few hundred degrees of ambient to be measured with an accuracy of ±2° and a response speed of about 2 s. The probe is found well suited for use in the heat‐transfer laboratory, in the factory, and in energy‐conservaton field work.
Precise temperature controller for resistance thermometers56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138317View Description Hide Description
We describe here a stable and sensitive temperature controller to be used with resistance thermometers. The temperature resolution provided by this instrument was ΔT≂20 μK at room temperature and ΔT≂1 μK at liquid 4He temperature.
High‐temperature containerless calorimeter56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138318View Description Hide Description
A high‐temperature (> 1500 K) containerless calorimeter is described and its usefulness demonstrated. The calorimeter uses the technique of omnidirectional electron bombardment of pendant drops to achieve an isothermal test environment. The small heat input into the sample (i.e., 15–50 W) can be controlled and measured. The apparatus can be used to determine the total hemispherical emissivity,specific heat, heat of fusion, surface tension, and equilibrium melting temperature of small molten drops in the temperature range of 1500 to 3500 K. The total hemispherical emissivity ε T and specific heatC p of pure niobium and two alloys of niobium–germanium have been measured in the temperature range of 1700 to 2400 K. As reported in the literature, ε T varied as a function of temperature. However, C p values for both the pure metal and alloys seem to be independent of temperature.C p for the liquid alloy phase was also measured and compared to the solid phase.
Optimization procedure for the cooling of liquid 3He by adiabatic demagnetization of praseodymium nickel56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138319View Description Hide Description
The construction and performance of a single stage nuclear demagnetization apparatus utilizing 0.267 mole of praseodymiumnickel material is described. An optimization procedure to minimize entropy production during the demagnetization of the hyperfine enhanced material has been developed which enabled the cryostat to cool a liquid‐3He sample to a temperature of 350 μK. The effects of measured heat leaks and inferred eddy‐current heating are accounted for satisfactorily in a model of this procedure.
Plastic third sound resonator and low‐temperature pressure gauge56(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1138320View Description Hide Description
A robust plastic third sound resonator has been developed which permits a wide range of experiments to be carried out on superfluidhelium films. At room temperature the cell can be filled by diffusion with a wide range of gases including He, Ne, Ar, N2, and CO2 to form both substrate and experiment. The highly flexible walls allow i n s i t upressure measurements with a resolution of 10− 6 Torr. Third sound can also be detected with capacitor plates within this cell.

With the launch of iOS 5, Apple introduced several new cloud services like iCloud, PhotoStream and iTunes Connect. PhotoStream allows you to automatically upload photos to the cloud and synchronize them with other Apple devices or Windows PC's. Many users however dislike the fact that the photos are being uploaded automatically and many don't know that it is possible to upload the photos manually to your PhotoStream.
For those that want to make use of PhotoStream but don't like the automatic upload option, use the following settings in iPhoto.
iPhoto ▸ Preferences ▸ Photo Stream ▸ Uncheck 'Automatic Upload'.
When you want to add a certain photo to your PhotoStream, simply start dragging the photo to the left column and the tab 'Photo Stream'. The application will now automatically start uploading the photo to your Photo Stream and the photo will get a small icon to indicate that it is uploaded.
It can happen that the photo will not appear at the end of your PhotoStream, this is because the photos are being sorted on the date that the photo is taken and not on the date that the photo is uploaded.

You may not be in the classroom when your child acts up or tunes out, but you can still help. A good relationship with your child's teacher, along with planning and practice at home, can turn around behavior problems at school. Your kid will be a lot happier, and so will you and his teacher.
Team Up With Your Child's Teacher
If your child has behavior problems at school, your best ally is his teacher, says Stephen Brock, PhD. He is the school psychology program coordinator at California State University, Sacramento, and co-author of Identifying, Assessing, and Treating ADHD at School. While school psychologists and other experts may be able to help, too, the teacher will have the most contact with your child. Do everything you can to make that relationship work.
Keep your cool. Parents of kids with ADHD dread that phone call from the teacher about bad behavior. You may feel embarrassed and upset and react defensively. But the teacher isn't criticizing you, says Richard Lougy, an ADHD specialist in Sacramento and co-author of The School Counselor's Guide to ADHD. They're just trying to help.
Be respectful. Remember that your child's teacher has a lot of other responsibilities, Brock says. Stress that you're there to help, not make their life harder with lots of demands. Keep the focus on helping your child, not on what you think the teacher may be doing wrong.
Ask what you can do. Find out what the problem behaviors are and how you can support the school's rules. Consider what changes you can make at home that will match the rules at school, such as a more formal routine or a new reward system for good behavior.
Stay in touch. Whether it's by email, phone, or in person, keep in regular contact with your child's teacher. See if you can get a daily or weekly report on how things are going.
Find out about resources. Most public schools have support teams for kids with ADHD, Brock says. The team might include school psychologists, guidance counselors, or other experts. Ask the teacher if you can all meet together.

What is a 'Currency Forward'
A binding contract in the foreign exchange market that locks in the exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a currency on a future date. A currency forward is essentially a hedging tool that does not involve any upfront payment. The other major benefit of a currency forward is that it can be tailored to a particular amount and delivery period, unlike standardized currency futures. Currency forward settlement can either be on a cash or a delivery basis, provided that the option is mutually acceptable and has been specified beforehand in the contract. Currency forwards are over-the-counter (OTC) instruments, as they do not trade on a centralized exchange. Also known as an "outright forward."
BREAKING DOWN 'Currency Forward'
Unlike other hedging mechanisms such as currency futures and options contracts – which require an upfront payment for margin requirements and premium payments, respectively – currency forwards typically do not require an upfront payment when used by large corporations and banks. However, a currency forward has little flexibility and represents a binding obligation, which means that the contract buyer or seller cannot walk away if the "locked in" rate eventually proves to be adverse. Therefore, to compensate for the risk of non-delivery or non-settlement, financial institutions that deal in currency forwards may require a deposit from retail investors or smaller firms with whom they do not have a business relationship.
The mechanism for determining a currency forward rate is straightforward, and depends on interest rate differentials for the currency pair (assuming both currencies are freely traded on the forex market). For example, assume a current spot rate for the Canadian dollar of US$1 = C$1.0500, a one-year interest rate for Canadian dollars of 3%, and one-year interest rate for US dollars of 1.5%.
After one year, based on interest rate parity, US$1 plus interest at 1.5% would be equivalent to C$1.0500 plus interest at 3%.
Or, US$1 (1 + 0.015) = C$1.0500 x (1 + 0.03).
So US$1.015 = C$1.0815, or US$1 = C$1.0655.
The one-year forward rate in this instance is thus US$ = C$1.0655. Note that because the Canadian dollar has a higher interest rate than the US dollar, it trades at a forward discount to the greenback. As well, the actual spot rate of the Canadian dollar one year from now has no correlation on the one-year forward rate at present. The currency forward rate is merely based on interest rate differentials, and does not incorporate investors' expectations of where the actual exchange rate may be in the future.
How does a currency forward work as a hedging mechanism? Assume a Canadian export company is selling US$1 million worth of goods to a U.S. company and expects to receive the export proceeds a year from now. The exporter is concerned that the Canadian dollar may have strengthened from its current rate (of 1.0500) a year from now, which means that it would receive fewer Canadian dollars per US dollar. The Canadian exporter therefore enters into a forward contract to sell $1 million a year from now at the forward rate of US$1 = C$1.0655.
If a year from now, the spot rate is US$1 = C$1.0300 – which means that the C$ has appreciated as the exporter had anticipated – by locking in the forward rate, the exporter has benefited to the tune of C$35,500 (by selling the US$1 million at C$1.0655, rather than at the spot rate of C$1.0300). On the other hand, if the spot rate a year from now is C$1.0800 (i.e. the C$ weakened contrary to the exporter's expectations), the exporter has a notional loss of C$14,500.

Maryland fades late in 40-27 loss to No. 9 Clemson
Associated Press | Last updated October 26, 2013
For three quarters, Maryland shrugged off all its injuries and made a game of it against No. 9 Clemson. And then, finally, the depleted Terrapins simply got worn out. With standout quarterback Tajh Boyd leading the way, Clemson scored three touchdowns in the final 15 minutes and pulled away to a 40-27 victory Saturday. Maryland (5-3, 1-3 ACC) trailed 19-13 entering the fourth quarter before it all unraveled. Boyd scored on a 5-yard run and Roderick McDowell ran it in from the 3 to make it 33-13 with 7:57 remaining. After the Terrapins got a touchdown pass from Caleb Rowe, a 45-yard touchdown run by McDowell gave Clemson a 40-20 lead with 5:03 to go. Earlier in the game, Maryland forced the Tigers (7-1, 4-1) to kick field goals after they reached the red zone. The trend didn't continue in the fourth quarter, and the Terrapins lost for the third time in four games. ''We gave up a couple plays there late,'' coach Randy Edsall said. ''What we were going to have to do is just try to hold on and not let them score the touchdown late and kick field goals, but we weren't able to do that in the fourth quarter.'' Maryland played without several key injured starters, including quarterback C.J. Brown, running back Brandon Ross, wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Deon Long, and tight end Dave Stinebaugh. Rowe went 19 for 45 for yards and three touchdowns, and Levern Jacobs had eight catches for 158 yards. But the Terrapins went 48 minutes between their first and second touchdowns and committed four turnovers. ''I feel like I did OK,'' Rowe said. ''Of course, I left plays out on the field, everyone did. But it just wasn't good enough in the end.'' Still, it was an impressive showing against one of the finest teams in the country. ''We're proving that we are developing depth here in our program and that the guys know that we as coaches believe in them, that if they're on the field we feel as though they're going to be able to get the job done. You kind of just preach that,'' Edsall said. Boyd threw for a touchdown and ran for a score, Sammy Watkins had a school-record 14 catches for 163 yards and McDowell rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns to help the Tigers rebound from last week's 51-14 defeat against Florida State. ''It's good to get the win, get back on track,'' coach Dabo Sweeny said. ''We had a great week, we really did. I thought our guys bounced back. If there was a hangover, if we weren't focused, this team could have gone south in a hurry. But it didn't. It responded. That's what great teams do.'' It was the seventh straight road win for the Tigers, their longest streak since a nine-game run in 1978-79. ''If you're going to be a great program, you've got to win consistently on the road,'' Sweeny said. ''I'm just really proud of our guys for coming up here and taking care of business.'' Trailing 16-7 at halftime, Maryland converted fumbles by Watkins and McDowell into field goals to close to 16-13 with four minutes elapsed in the third quarter. Sweeny said that might have been the turning point. ''Hats off to our defense,'' he said. ''When you put the ball down twice inside your own 20 and they only come away with six points, our defense responded.'' Boyd answered with a 68-yard drive before Catanzaro connected on a 24-yarder. Despite making only three first downs in the third quarter, Maryland remained within striking distance until running back Albert Reid lost a fumble at the Maryland 31 and Clemson's Spencer Shuey took it to the 22. Four plays later, Boyd scored to make 26-13 with 13:04 left. That gave Boyd 112 touchdowns via run or pass, tied with Phillip Rivers for most in ACC history. Watkins had 10 catches for 127 yards by halftime, and Clemson ran more than twice as many offensive plays as the Terrapins in building a nine-point cushion at intermission. Down 3-0, the Terrapins got a big play from Jacobs in his first start of the year. Jacobs grabbed a short pass over the middle and sprinted into the end zone for a 71-yard touchdown. Denied after getting a first down at the Maryland 2, the Tigers settled for a field goal to make it 7-6. Then, after Jayron Kearse picked off a Rowe pass in the end zone, Clemson put together a 13-play march that ended with another field goal. The Tigers finally got their first touchdown with nine seconds left in the half. After a 30-yard completion to Watkins, Boyd threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Jordan Leggett. ''I never thought that we were going to lose that game,'' Maryland defensive back Sean Davis said. ''Even when we were down at halftime, I always thought that, and the whole team thought that.''

It's Groundhog Day for Carried-Interest Taxation
In a blog post this morning, Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association, compared the election results to the movie Groundhog Day where the main character wakes up each morning to find that nothing has changed from the day before.
Venture capital investors can expect to find one aspect of that scenario to be especially familiar: the movement to do away with the tax break for carried interest.
Carried interest is the share of investment profits that general partners of VC firms pocket while sending the rest to the limited partners in their funds. The arrangement is supposed to provide the real incentive for venture firms to make money. Under the current tax code, investors pay taxes on these earnings at the lower capital gains rate even though it is LPs' money that they are investing, not their own.
The venture industry has staunchly defended this arrangement and in this it is allied with the private equity business, from which venture sometimes tries to distance itself.
But the re-elected President Obama is no friend of carried interest. His most recent budget once again proposed taxing carried interest as ordinary income, at rates of up to 35% percent, rather than at the 15% capital gains rate. Congressional gridlock assured that the proposal again went nowhere.
Carried-interest taxation was hardly central to the election even though the president's opponent was private equity and venture capital pro Mitt Romney. But tax reform was an issue, and Obama hit the theme as one of his priorities during his victory speech early this morning in Chicago.
While carried interest has remained untouched up until now, we are likely to see a revival of the debate. Republicans and Democrats are under pressure to do something about the deficit and it's hard to believe that America's fiscal house can be put in order without tackling the tax code, which Heesen says "needs fundamental change."
Whether this means closing loopholes or going so far as to tax wage and investment income equally, carried interest is sure to be in play.

Ah, it's fun to have fun with the hubby. Even if you're a country superstar. Even if it's on Twitter for the whole world to see.
Carrie started the long Thanksgiving weekend with a loving little shot at husband Mike Fisher because he held her purse while she accepted Best Country Album (for Blown Away) at the American Music Awards last Sunday (Nov. 18).
She tweeted a pic Saturday [1] (Nov. 24) of a fake "Best Purse Holder" trophy and bestowed it upon Mike, a hockey player in the NHL, which has canceled this season over a labor dispute.
Mike joked back "u still haven't noticed the missing cash from the purse! #lockoutproblems."
Carrie's reply: "Oh, I noticed . . . but that's what sugar mamas do . . . they give money to their unemployed trophy men! #iaintsayin'he'sagolddigger." That was followed by "You know I'm just kidding! I love you!!! Now, someone PLEASE END THE LOCKOUT!"
Most of that Twitter convo was gone by Monday morning (Nov. 26), but Carrie replaced it with a Twitter hashtag contest called "#ReplaceSongTitlesWithMike" to get her hubby's first name in some famous songs.
Some of Carrie's faves—"Sexy and Mike Knows it," a take on the LMFAO song; and "Moves Like Mike," with Mike filling in for Jagger on the Maroon 5 hit.
"He does have a few moves," Carrie acknowledged [2].
