El Patio 77, the first eco-friendly B&B in Mexico City. Enjoy one of our 8 beautiful and comfortable rooms, each one with a special touch from one of the 32 Mexican states. At "El patio 77", we are environmentally conscious: we recycle water from the roof and showers, and use solar energy to heat our water. We are a just a few blocks from the famous Paseo de la Reforma, 2 subway stations from downtown and 3 from the "Palacio de Bellas Artes," The National Fine Arts Palace.

We enjoyed everything about this B&B: the GREAT and personalized service, the nice rooms (we tried two rooms, one with a private bathroom and one without one), the fantastic breakfasts, the useful location of the B&B, its decoration, and on and on. We just wished we could stay longer. This place is so lovely and quiet, you wouldn't imagine you're in the middle of a busy city.

Perfect combination between the intimacy of a b&b -- with an amazing breakfast served by a staff who knows you and is always attentive to your likes/dislikes for food & drink -- in a large house that allows you to feel independent and private. They have a great aesthetic that is warm but stylish and a perfect place to relax after the day in the city. But the staff was really the most amazing part, so friendly & helpful! A great choice.

There is nothing not to love about El Patio! The staff bend over backward to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are beautiful and artfully designed. Don't be fooled by reviewers who say the neighborhood is not safe - it is perfectly safe and filled with lovely people who are friendly and helpful. There are excellent eateries in the neighborhood and a great market - Mercado San Cosme. The metro is only about three blocks away (also very safe) and we did not have any problems with taxis or tour buses finding the place. The breakfast every morning is delicious, and the showers get plenty hot (again don't be fooled by negative reviews). The hotel is eco-friendly, so they give you soap/shampoo to use and filtered water in your room. If you are looking for a more traditional hotel experience in a touristy neighborhood then this isn't for you. El Patio exceeded all of our expectations - thank you Vero, Diego and Giovani for making our first trip to Mexico City very special!

The perfect B & B should be exactly like this. Great place, friendly staff, very clean rooms and bathrooms and structure with ecological systems and many wonderful plants. Located in an area of the city, very interesting!

So, I wanted to return to Mexico city after 17 years and show it to my wife, and Patio 77 was recommended by my cousin, who lives there. Sometimes you choose a place to stay that just defines the entire trip, and this was one of those times: wonderful, helpful staff, an unbelievably tranquil and well renovated building, and a sense of style and comfort that is just hard to buy. The location in old Mexico City has a wonderful mix of classic elegance and modern hustle and bustle: you're right on the Metro for buses and trains but you can also easily walk to Reforma and all the sights of the city (why not spend your first day wandering to Chapultepec castle?) But most of all the staff were wonderful. Helping us with our rubbish spanish, bringing us fresh, eye-opening, perfectly prepared breakfast, and even telling us where we can get a decent pair of cowboy boots. I was always in love with La Ciudad de Mexico, but el Patio 77 means I'll be going back every few months. This place is almost too nice, for serious. PS it's hard to cover everything, but even the art on the walls there became a sort of visual companion for our stay. Just beautiful!

Absolutely wonderful B&B, very helpful staff, delicious Mexican breakfast, clean rooms and modern furniture. I loved it and would come back to Mexico City just to stay at this nice place again.
5 on October 22, 2013
I booked my room after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. It is located very close to metro station San Cosme so you can reach easily the sights. I loved my room it was nicely decorated as the whole place. The exhibited works of local artists provide a special atmosphere. When you enter the big door you can find a beautiful, relaxing place where you can feel really comfortable. I spent 5 nights in room Veracruz. My bed was huge and super cozy and the shared bathroom was also nice and clean. The wifi was much better than in my previous 4star hotel. I liked the breakfasts a lot - warm Mexican food with fresh juice, fruits and coffee. The staff is very helpful and kind, their hospitality is amazing. They arranged great tours for me to Teotihuacan and to the local markets. Both tours were professionally organized and I could learn a lot about history and arts too. El Patio's staff gives you all support you can imagine (from suggesting places to see or eat to calling a taxi) they are really taking care of you. Big thank you Alan, Diego and the entire staff! I would like to come back and I highly recommend this place.

I stayed at El Patio 77 for two weeks while working in Mexico City. I very much enjoyed the calm and beauty of the space and the friendliness of the owners and staff. The breakfast is proper Mexican, but I could have something else if I wanted to, so I recommend the 'real one'. I will definitely come back for a cultural trip. The area is still a little rough, but it is an upcoming location, but it is extremely central and everything is in close reach. It is a beautiful place and a little magic too!
5 on June 21, 2013
Fabulous, staff very personable, beautiful space, and the was breakfast fantastic! Every morning the staff would ask us where we were heading to and they would give us a local recommendation. Can't speak more highly of our stay! Will stay here again and have already recommended to our friends. Walking distance to everything or very easy to catch the subway. Only complaint it was a little noisy at night but would stay there again. Love it!!!!

We generally enjoyed our stay at El patio 77. It was fun staying in an older restored home of a wealthy family in what today has become a working class neighborhood, away from all the tumult and commotion of the Centro. We enjoyed the high ceilings, techos de bóveda, large windows, stately staircases, and art and artistry all around us. The shared bath proved not to be a problem. Breakfasts were prepared with love and affection and there was only one repetition in our seven day stay. The staff was friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. There is a library featuring books about Mexico City for all to enjoy and benefit from. Our bed was comfortable and beautifully made for us every day. There was no change of bath towels for the week, but perhaps that is to be expected in a bed and breakfast calling itself "sostenible." Actually, our only problem during our stay in mid-May was that if we opened our windows at night, the room was full of hungry mosquitoes. If we did not open them, we were uncomfortably warm with no air stirring through the double-paned windows. Sleeping was difficult without fresh air flowing through the room. (The staff provided us with a plug-in device to help ward off the bugs, but alas it did not work.) So we chose to open the windows to get some cool air at night to be able to sleep and went home with more than a few bites. Requesting an inside room facing the courtyard may provide for air flow and freedom from mosquitos, though we are not certain about that.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - President Bush placed a phone call Friday
to evangelist Billy Graham. The aging preacher remains under close
observation at a western North Carolina hospital after three
episodes of intestinal bleeding.
Hospital officials say Bush expressed his prayers for a prompt
Graham has been a close confidant to several presidents
including Bush. He remains in fair condition at Mission Health &
Hospitals in Asheville. Graham is on a liquid-only diet as he
recovers from a Wednesday colonoscopy to treat his intestinal
Doctors believe the bleeding may have been caused by small
pouches that can form in the lower intestine, known as diverticuli.
A diverticular bleed often begins suddenly and may stop on its own.

The City of Cedar Falls faces a tough budget challenge and, according to City Attorney Tom Meyer, Cedar Falls has to "make difficult decisions that impact our employees due to the changes in the new health care laws." Decision one for Cedar Falls was to limit to 29 the average number of hours worked per week by approximately 59 current part-time employees in 2013 to ensure the City doesn't have to pay up to $850,000 in health insurance costs when those laws take effect in 2014. A difficult decision for city officials, indeed, but Cedar Falls can and should do more.
The folks at Cedar Falls City Hall are not doing all they can to safeguard the public purse and we should tell them we Iowans stand behind them as they take the next brave step.
First, let's give credit where credit is due. Cedar Falls leaders deserve praise for standing up to the draconian health care law President Obama and his cronies forced down the throats of the American people. This law passed under the cover of darkness has yet to survive the appropriate legal challenges or a thorough test by the electorate. OK, so Congress passed the law after a long and open debate and that law survived numerous court cases that were affirmed in a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last year. But, are we to think the voters were actually paying enough attention during the recent campaign to understand reelecting the President and leaving Congress virtually unchanged would ensure the law would take effect? Well, that's beside the point.
Good for Cedar Falls for taking tough action and for squarely placing the blame for cutting worker earnings where that blame belongs, on somebody else's doorstep.
The Cedar Falls visionaries recognize their decision has a downside. They admit reducing the number of hours some 59 city workers will work next year will mean those workers and their families will have a little less walking around money, but that is the price the City is willing to pay. The City cannot be forced to help these folks obtain the same health care coverage it provides its more deserving full-time workers. And, that's where the answer lies.
If health insurance is too expensive for some workers, maybe it is just too expensive for all.
According to the City of Cedar Falls fiscal year 2011 budget, when fully staffed Cedar Falls has some 215 full time employees. Cedar Falls should make all of its positions part time. This would eliminate 100% of its health insurance costs. If providing health insurance coverage for 59 workers has a potential cost of $850,000 as Meyer explained, eliminating coverage for 215 employees would potentially save the City a whopping $3,097,000.
Cedar Falls could balance its budget easily and place more than blame on somebody else's doorstep. Cedar Falls could place the entire burden of health care insurance there as well. Since he understands the issue so well, I am confident the City Attorney will be the first to step-up to volunteer to hand back his city provided health insurance.
OK, enough sarcasm. America's health care system is failing due in large part to the fact access to health coverage is unequal. Some workers get coverage and some don't. In the end, we all end up paying too much. The health care law was designed to begin to fix that problem and get a handle on costs.
Cedar Falls has to balance its budget, but it is shameful that in doing so, it is denying workers the ability to earn health care coverage. By limiting hours for part time workers, Cedar Falls is telling a group of workers they are not worthy of the valuable health care coverage those making the decisions already enjoy. Bold leadership doesn't exist in Cedar Falls these days.

Europe's Week Ahead: EU Unemployment, U.K. GDP And The Fed
Next week is littered with important economic data releases, from the inflation and unemployment numbers in the the euro zone to the first release of U.K. gross domestic product for the fourth quarter.
That said, a lot of the focus will be across the pond as Ben Bernanke chairs the meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee for the last time. The central bank stated in December than it would reduce its $85 billion monthly bond buying program by $10 billion, and the market is expecting this pace to be continued.

text: As Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up". I couldn't agree with this more. It's July at the studio… and you know what that means?! Art Camp time! This year we are doing a country and western theme, "Cowgirls & Canvas". I always enjoy working with kids, I think it's because kids are so creative and truly think outside the box. They aren't afraid of taking risks and being daring with their art. My style of teaching is just to loosen up and have fun, because when you aren't worried about getting something "right" usually those are the times when the most creativity and magic happens. There is still still time to sign up your child if you think this is something they would enjoy. What makes my art camps so special is the fact that I meet each child where they are on their specific skill level from beginner to advanced.

Unbiased rendering
In computer graphics, unbiased rendering refers to a rendering technique that does not introduce any systematic error, or bias, into the radiance approximation. Because of this, it is often used to generate the reference image to which other rendering techniques are compared. Mathematically speaking, the expected value of the unbiased estimator will always be the population mean, for any number of observations. Error found in an unbiased rendering will be due to variance, which manifests itself as high-frequency noise in the resultant image. Variance is reduced by and standard deviation by for data points, meaning that four times as many data points are needed to halve the standard deviation of the error. This makes unbiased rendering techniques less attractive for realtime or interactive rate applications. Conversely, an image produced by an unbiased renderer that appears smooth and noiseless is probabilistically correct.
A biased rendering method is not necessarily wrong, and it can still converge to the correct answer if the estimator is consistent. It does, however, introduce a certain bias error, usually in the form of a blur, in efforts to reduce the variance (high-frequency noise). It is important to note that an unbiased technique may not consider all possible paths. Path tracing can not consistently handle caustics generated from a point light source, as it is highly unlikely to randomly generate the path that directly reflects into the point. Progressive photon mapping (PPM), a biased rendering technique, can handle caustics quite well. Although biased, PPM is provably consistent, meaning that as the number of samples goes to infinity, the bias error goes to zero, and the probability that the estimate is correct reaches one.
Unbiased rendering methods include:
- Path Tracing
- Light tracing
- Bidirectional path tracing
- Metropolis light transport (and derived Energy Redistribution Path Tracing[1])

The Real Poop
We're sure you've heard of "gateway drugs." Well, pharmacists are the gateway...to drugs.
Not the bad kind, of course. It is a pharmacist's job to distribute drugs—drugs that have been prescribed by a doctor—to individuals. (It is important to note that any drug taken in excess or when not legally prescribed can be "the bad kind." So please don't take 36 muscle relaxers. You're not going to want your muscles that relaxed for another 60 or 70 years yet.)
However, passing out medication is only one aspect of what a pharmacist does. They are also medical advisors, answering patients' questions and monitoring their health and progress. Some pharmacists don't even work in a pharmacy (you would think that would be a requirement), but rather work in drug laboratories, hospitals or nursing homes. Pharmacists are everywhere. In fact, don't look now, but there's one behind you right now. We said don't look! Oy!.
It's a great living in a usually comfortable atmosphere. You have to deal every so often with hostile patients who come in complaining about this or that—my skin is coming off, my eyeballs just started dripping blood, blah blah blah. But you are also helping parents who are out at 2 in the morning trying to give some comfort to their child.
Many of the personality traits that lend themselves to making good physicians are the same ones that make good pharmacists. While the money is good, it's not your motivation for getting into this line of work. Your motivation is to help people. To follow in the grand tradition of healers whose sole purpose is to make us live longer and live better. You should have a big heart, a kind soul, and a sizable brain; come to think of it, it might be good if you are something of a hulk, as there are a lot of parts you're going to need to find room for.
Someone does not like cloudy days.
Although you are not on call and do not have to respond to many unexpected emergencies as a physician or surgeon might, you do need to be incredibly dedicated to your job and to the individuals who visit your pharmacy relying on your knowledge and advice. Not everyone drops in just to have a prescription filled. You really have to know your stuff, because if you make one misinformed drug endorsement or incorrectly explain how someone's prescription medication is to be used, it could be disastrous. You have the chance to take part in making the sick feel better, but you also have the chance to make them even sicker, so don't take the responsibilities you are assuming lightly. Until scientists figure out a way to create matzo ball soup in pill form, there is no one magical cure-all, and you will need to be able to correctly analyze a patient's symptoms and advise them accordingly.
Pharmacists play an important role, but they do not get paid as much as physicians, do not get to have enough one-on-one time with patients to feel the satisfaction of helping someone they have personally connected with, and have to attend just as much school in order to achieve their goal. Despite the downsides, you can make a more-than-comfortable living as a member of the medical community without having to dip your hands into open chest cavities or have patients dying in your arms. For some of the more squeamish among us, it may be worth the trade-off.

A.M. Vitals: J&J Nears Settlement With Justice Dept.
Here's what's making health news this morning:
J&J Close to Settling Off-Label Probes (WSJ): Johnson & Johnson and Justice are close to settling a protracted investigation into promotion of the antipsychotic Risperdal, for what would be one of the highest sums to date in a drug-marketing case, according to people familiar with the matter. The sides are trying to wrap together lawsuits, state investigations and other probes, and are discussing a payment of at least $1.5 billion, some of the people said.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Sunday, August 11, 2013
Augusta, Ga (WRDW) - It was April Bridges response, after News 12 told her there was a shooting in her neighborhood just blocks away.
"It's a little unnerving," she said.
Just blocks away from where she moved too a week ago.
"I don't think it's the neighborhood so much as the people in the neighborhood and how they act," Bridges told News 12's Patrick Price.
Shots were fired at the corner of Sibley and Walker Street, around 9:30 last night.
A man suffered two gunshot wounds to the leg and stomach. The suspect, 17-yr-old Jamal Olajuwon Boyd, got away on his bike.
"I think it happens way too often," she said.
But in her area of the neighborhood, it's a little different.
"Down here on this end. it's very quiet, you know, I don't feel unsafe, I don't feel worried," said Bridges.
Drive four blocks down and you'll end up where the shots were fired. A little too close for comfort for Bridges.
"I just make sure I'm aware, you know lock the door, lock my car doors, I look at who's around when I leave," she said.
That vigilance is what she says keeps her safe. But there's still that what if.
"You can be anywhere and someone become violent," she told News 12.
She's keeping a close eye on her street, while law enforcement does their part to find who fired those shots.
"The police patrols are nice, the neighborhood watch is nice, I don't think you can ever really prevent it," she said.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Richmond County investigators are on the scene of a shooting on Walker Street and Sibley Street.
This happened around 9 o'clock Saturday when a 39-year-old man was walking down the street when he was shot in the stomach and the leg. He was taken to GRU medical center.
News 12 has now learned that the victim in this shooting is Julion Tyrone Hamilton. His injuries are non-life threatening.
We've also learned the name of the suspect and that's 17 year old Jamel Olajuwon Boyd.
We'll update you as more information comes into our newsroom.

France gunman 'set to kill again'Latest[/*]Live[/*]Analysis[/*]Profile of gunman[/*]In pictures[/*]Video[/*]What we know[/*][/list]
The BBC's Christain Fraser looks at how the police tracked him down
Continue reading the main storyToulouse ShootingsLatest updatesLive[/*]Hewitt: Political fallout[/*]Victims buried in Israel[/*]In pictures: Toulouse raid[/*][/list]The Frenchman suspected of a spate of shootings in the Toulouse area planned more killings, prosecutors have said.
Anti-terror chief Francois Molins said the suspect, named as Mohammed Merah, 23, of Algerian descent, intended to kill a soldier and two police officers.
Merah, who says he was trained by al-Qaeda, is suspected of murdering three soldiers and four Jewish people.
Police have surrounded his flat and are trying to persuade him to surrender. He is said to be heavily armed.
Earlier reports said he had been captured, but officials later rebuffed the claims.
Continue reading the main storyAt the sceneRichard GalpinBBC News, ToulouseJust after President Sarkozy arrived in Toulouse for meetings at a military barracks close to where the siege is taking place, reports began circulating that it was all over, Mohammed Merah had been arrested.
But minutes later came the denials. First by local officials in Toulouse, then by the interior minister himself. It all added to the tension. How will the siege which began at 3am local time on Wednesday morning, be brought to an end?
Officially the French government says it wants to capture him alive so that he can stand trial on charges of murdering seven people and injuring at least two others.
But it will not be an easy operation if he decides to stand and fight. He is reported to have an automatic rifle, a sub machinegun and grenades inside his apartment.
The killings took place in and around Toulouse in three separate incidents earlier this month.
On 11 March, a soldier was shot and killed while waiting to see a man about selling his motorcycle.
Days later, two soldiers were shot and killed, and a third was wounded while waiting at a cash machine.
Then earlier this week, three children and an adult were shot and killed outside a Jewish school.
The four Jewish victims were buried in an emotional funeral in Jerusalem earlier.
In a news conference, Mr Molins said Merah had planned to kill a soldier later on Wednesday and also had plans to target the police.
"If he's telling the truth, he would have left his house this morning and he would have once again killed any soldier that he came across," the prosecutor said.
Mr Molins said the suspect had expressed no regret for the killings, but had said he wanted to kill more people and "bring France to its knees".
President Nicolas Sarkozy has attended a memorial at a military base in nearby Montauban for the three murdered soldiers.
Continue reading the main storyHunt for French killerFrance has seen an unprecedented security clampdown after a lone gunman killed seven people, including three children, in three separate attacks in the south-west of the country.
Police tracked down the main suspect after investigating the movements of a stolen scooter used by the killer to make his escape following shootings in Toulouse and nearby Montauban.
1/6He earlier told Jewish community leaders that the gunmen had been planning more attacks before police had surrounded his apartment block.
'Vengeance' claimPolice moved into Merah's block after two officers were shot at when they tried to get into his flat.
Officials say he is heavily armed with a Kalashnikov high-velocity rifle, a mini-Uzi 9mm machine pistol, several handguns and possibly grenades.
Continue reading the main storyMohammed MerahFrench citizen of Algerian extraction, aged 23[/*]Has criminal record in France for non-terrorist crimes[/*]Has described himself as an al-Qaeda member and has spent time in Afghanistan and Pakistan[/*][/list]Profile: Mohammed Merah[/*]French shootings: What we know[/*][/list]The five-storey block of flats was evacuated earlier, and police were also moving residents of nearby buildings.
Hundreds of officers are now stationed outside the block.
Elsewhere in the city, police are hunting for accomplices and have detained several members of his family.
His mother was taken to the scene in the hope that she could persuade him to surrender, but she told police that she had no influence over her son.
Negotiators have been talking to Merah all morning, but officials said he appeared to have no particular demands.
The suspect has said he acted to "avenge Palestinian children" and said he would give himself up.
Nicolas Sarkozy: "The soldiers were targeted because they were part of the French army"
Merah claimed to have received al-Qaeda training in Pakistan's Waziristan area, and also said he had been to Afghanistan, prosecutors said.
Afghan officials told the BBC he had been jailed in Kandahar for planting bombs in 2007, but escaped in a Taliban-led break-out in 2008.
Other Afghan sources cast doubt on the claims, saying the man jailed in Kandahar might have been a different person with the same name.
Mr Molins said Merah had visited Afghanistan twice.
He gave no details of the first visit, but said that during his second trip last year, Merah was captured by Afghan forces and handed to the Americans, who put him on a plane back to France.
But American officials told CNN that US forces had not dealt with Merah, and that the Afghans had handed him to French forces, who had returned him to France.

Consumers Drive Move to Cheaper Health Care
Consumers are helping drive a slowdown in growth of medical prices, a trend that could have a big long-term impact on the federal budget if it continues.
Our WSJ article today explains how employers are increasingly offering less-generous health insurance plans that require workers to use health savings accounts to pay the first several thousand dollars of costs. That has consumers keeping a closer eye on prices, and medical inflation is at a 50-year low, according to Commerce Department figures.
Doctor's offices, pharmacies and hospitals are often reluctant to divulge specific prices before seeing patients. That's led consumers such as David Flannery of Nashua, N.H., to the Internet for answers. Mr. Flannery, 44, who has multiple sclerosis, recently used NewChoiceHealth.com to shop for a less expensive MRI.
He found he could save over $1,000 if he traveled 50 miles to Boston or Worcester, Mass., rather than go a hospital near his home.
The lower price tag may allow to Mr. Flannery to get the test he's put off for two years. When he had better insurance he got the tests annually, but now he's pushing back against doctors' orders because had to switch to a plan offered by his wife's employer after he lost his job in 2011.
That plan requires him to pay the first $3,000 of treatment out of pocket. Knowing he'll bear much of the cost, the freelance video producer has shopped around cheaper blood tests and other routine procedures as well.
"It's a huge deal when your family to goes from paying $200 to $600 for an X-ray," Mr. Flannery said. "It means we eat pizza this month instead of going out to dinner."
Here are websites offering consumers more information on medical prices:
Brighter (www.brighter.com): Provides comparative prices for dental procedures in the Los Angeles area. The service is planning to expand to other markets.
GoodRx: (http://www.goodrx.com) Allows users to compare prescription prices and displays results on a map. Also a smartphone app, the site offers coupons and a discount card.
Healthcare Blue Book: (http://www.healthcarebluebook.com) Allows consumers to look up prices for medical procedures, products and drugs. Some employers and insurers integrate the database into benefit websites.
New Choice Health: (http://www.newchoicehealth.com) Provides market-specific price comparisons for 18 common procedures, including mammograms and CT scans.

It's tough to find headphones I'm into. I know, it's lame because we all need music to fuel our days and our workouts. That's why I'm digging the new line of tune blasters by Skullcandy, designed and sized specifically to fit women. My review in a nutshell? They're kind of TDF.
We need our beats but we don't want to look like we're sending off a sonar signal while rocking out to Gesaffelstein's "Hellifornia" on the shredmill. I'm loving the "Knockout" headphones that come in "floral," Tiffany blue "robin," and black "geo" colors. "Bombshell" and "Dime" buds also come in the same patterns. So, fetch (yeah, it's happening…we're bringing that phrase back in honor of the eternally awesome Tina Fey).
Something else that's pretty cool about Skullcandy's headphones and buds: they come in completely adorbsies clutch/makeup bags and vintage snap change purses. That way your headgear doesn't get all rattled in the bottom of your gym bag! Check them out on Instagram @skullcandywomen.

Disha Pandey turns Jayalalitha
Model-turned-actress Disha Pandey, who has acted in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi industries, is all set to make her debut in Sandalwood. She will be seen in the female lead in forthcoming Kannada movie Jayalalitha starring Sharan.
Jayalalitha is a out-and-out comedy entertainer. On asking about acting in this genre, Disha Pandey said that she enjoys comedy films, but she finds it most challenging simply because it is difficult to make people laugh.
She said, "I love watching comedy films and even enjoy working in them, but I think to make people cry is easy, and to make them laugh is extremely challenging. There are so many things that go in to bring out comedy."
Jayalalitha is the remake of Malayalam blockbuster Mayamohini, which starred Dileep, Biju Menon, Lakshmi Rai, Mythili, Baburaj and Spadikam George in the cast. Continue reading the story on the slideshow and also see some of Disha Pandey's pictures...

|Raman Spectroscopic Determination of Electron Concentration in n-Type GaSb
|November 19, 2008
|Phonon-plasmon coupled mode Raman spectra of n-type GaSb were measured at room temperature as a function of electron concentration. These spectra were obtained using an optical system based on 752.55 nm excitation. Utilization of this wavelength permits greater sensitivity to GaSb coupled mode Raman scattering over a wider doping range than is possible with visible wavelength excitation-based systems. A relatively simple spectral model for the electronic contribution to the dielectric function was evaluated for determination of electron concentration from the bulk coupled mode spectra. The electron concentrations were determined from the Raman spectra by minimizing the sum of the squared residuals between a measured and a simulated spectrum as a function of Fermi energy and a plasmon damping parameter. The electron concentrations determined from the fits to the Raman spectra were compared to the electron concentrations determined from single magnetic field Hall effect measurements that were corrected to account for carriers in two conduction band minima. The electron concentrations determined using the two methods differed from -16 percent at low doping levels to +24 percent at high doping levels. In general, compared to the electron concentrations determined from the corrected Hall effect measurements, the electron concentrations determined from the Raman spectra were lower for epilayers with lower Hall effect electron concentrations and higher for epilayers with higher Hall effect electron concentrations. The deviations between the results obtained with the two methods were attributed to the impact of uncertainties in GaSb materials properties on the accuracy of the correction to the single field Hall effect measurements and to the limitations of the spectral model employed.

Comments about Pittsburgh 10 in. Handscrew Clamp:
I have purchased others years ago and use them often I bought this one to attach to my work bench as a wood vise. Drilled 2 holes on one of the clamps and used long drywall screw to attach to my work bench leg leave the other free so it opens and closes works great to work on pieces standing on edge
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Worked on motorcycle tire
By JVPhilly
from Philadelphia Burbs
My Kawasaki Vulcan 900 had a flat rear tire and I needed to squish the tire down somewhat to create room to get it off and back on. This 10 inch clamp did a nice job of squishing it just right along with a 12 inch version of said clamp. Previously I had tried my big C clamp but it didn't put enough tire surface area in contact with the clamp but these relatively larger blocks of wood worked perfectly. I assume these will do a great job with gluing as well. Price was great, comparable clamps from other sellers were more than twice as much and I basically got 2 clamps for the price of one - schweet!
Good for the money.

I needed a couple of these to clamp drawer false fronts to some cabinets I was making.These are about half the cost of Irwin clamps and even better with a coupon.Well worth the money I think.

I was dreading buying both versions of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. So I was excited when Sony announced their Cross Buy program. Now the game just needs Kat from Gravity Rush and Crash – but that's a story for another day. The Cross Buy and Play promotions are great ideas, but ultimately they're making the PS Vita look like a PS3 accessory.
I'm sure you've read countless articles about what the PS Vita needs. It needs a price cut, free memory cards, more third-party support, etc. Well, here's what it really needs – an identity. Right now Sony is turning it into a portable PS3 and this isn't a good thing. Most gamers don't want watered down console ports on the go and two copies of the same game.
The PS Vita needs original experiences that take advantage of its hardware. Trying to emulate console games will always lead to disappointment. We don't need PS3 games on the go – we need PS Vita games on the go. Gamers need a reason to buy a PS Vita, and why would your average PS3 owner buy a handheld to play the same games they have on the PS3?
Right now the PS Vita feels like it's Sony's second favorite child. They announced a ton of great new games for the PS3 at E3 2012 and left the PS Vita on the sidelines. Both systems should be treated equally; neither one should overshadow the other. Say what you want about Nintendo, but the DS and 3DS have never played second fiddle to their older siblings.
Could you imagine if The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls were PS Vita exclusives? Sure, that would piss a lot of PS3 owners off, but it would also make a lot of them go out and buy a PS Vita.
Instead of having B-List studios (no offense Sony Bend, Golden Abyss was great) make ports of popular PS3 games and Cross Buy titles, Sony should round-up all their top studios and tell each of them to make a new IP for the PS Vita (Media Molecule has the right idea). A new Naughty Dog IP exclusive to the handheld would get gamers' attention. Sadly this will probably never happen because most AAA studios think making handheld exclusives are beneath them.
Now there's talk of a PS3/Vita combo pack that could go head to head with the Wii U. Sigh — this is a terrible idea and it would cheapen the PS Vita. It's degrading because it deserves to be more than an accessory. Besides, it would barely put a dent in Wii U sales since most PS3 games wouldn't take advantage of the second screen.
Maybe the PS Vita will find an identity once the PS4 hits (by this point Cross Play PS3 titles will be uncool and outdated). I still think it's the best handheld ever, but I don't need a portable PS3 or a second screen to play LittleBigPlanet 2.

U were awesome playin Lucy in home the ending really made me cry
She does have a class 10 butt !!!!!! He very best asset. :-)
Why would a voluptuous built woman want to slap a contestant on "Idol"?
She really can be nuts no matter what she does.
She is such a female clown!
Loved her new video, what a visual.
The best there ever was!!! lol
Jennifer Lopez can judge better than Nicki Minaj.
For a woman that many people dislike as a show-off, she has better music than Justin Bieber.
that Casper Smart thing was plain embarrassing & i don't mean him hooking up with TS
I hope she lives longer as of 2014.

- But if these historic anachronisms are to survive beyond the very short term they must quickly find a social role and shed the haughty isolationism which has shielded them from commercial realities.
- These groups would be at risk of becoming mere anecdotes; anachronisms of a bygone time and a lifestyle that is passing.
- When a character in a novel set in the 15th century uses a word, 'taboo,' that did not enter any European language until the 18th century, the attentive reader begins to look for anachronisms.
1.1 [mass noun] The action of attributing something to a period to which it does not belong: it is anachronism to suppose that the official morality of the age was mere window dressing
More example sentences
- He must also ask this question to avoid the error of anachronism (or 'presentism' as some historians call it).
- It could help to deflect the usual charges of anachronism and unfamiliarity with the period.
- The pejorative charge of anachronism as the inadmissible confusion of periods or eras presupposes that the accuser knows what the correct time of history is.
Mid 17th century: from Greek anakhronismos, from ana- 'backwards' + khronos 'time'.
An anachronism, something which is wrongly placed in a particular period, comes from Greek anakhronismos, from ana- 'backwards or against' and khronos 'time'. The latter is the source of other time-related words such as chronicle (Middle English), chronometer (mid 18th century) a 'time measurer', chronological (mid 16th century), and synchronize (early 17th century) 'to make the same time'.

The Holy Bible -
New Century Version
Copyright 1987, 1988, 1991
by Word Publishing,
Dallas Texas 75039
Don't take this wrong, but I haven't liked many of the
Bibles I've read. It's nothing against the author, mind you -- it's
just that they often seem to lose something in the translation. The
KJV, and even the NKVJ, just don't make a lot of sense, as they use words
that no one else uses anymore. I was raised using the Revised
Standard, and I still like that version (even though it's supposedly a
"liberal" translation), but that, too, uses some outdated
language. I have never liked the NAS for a number of reasons which I won't
go into now. And, I have found the NIV to be a dry, very weak translation
(sorry, I just don't like it and won't read it).
But, I wanted a new, easier to read Bible, and was thrilled to find the New Century Version. We first purchased an NCV when we wanted a Bible for our oldest son (The International Children's Bible). I liked that so much that I considered buying one for myself. Then, I realized that there actually was an adult version, although they are hard to find. There are several different NCV Bibles out, including a Max Lucado study Bible called The Inspirational Bible (as if the others aren't...). There's also a Youth version, with a "contemporary" cover, and devotions on youthful topics like dating, etc. I chose the basic model with the burgundy leather cover.
I love the NCV for a number of reasons. First, it is incredibly readable, without being trite or trendy. It's just plain old ordinary English, the way we read it every day. Consider the 23rd Psalm:
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures.
He leads my to calm water.
He gives me new strength.
Second, I found it to set forth the plain meaning of Scripture. A few years ago I began writing a children's theology book. As I started comparing various translations to quote in the text, I found that more often than not, the NCV simply said it the best, and said it simply.
Here's one more excerpt, The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13):
Our Father in heaven,
may your name always be kept holy.
May your kingdom come
and what you want be done,
here on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us the food we need for each day.
Forgive us for our sins,
just as we have forgiven those who
sinned against us.
And do not cause us to be tempted,
but save us from the Evil One.
Details, details . . .
Per the Preface, the NCV is a translation from the original Hebrew and Greek languages, by the World Bible Translation Center. The translation team included members who previously worked on the NIV, NASB and NKJV translations. Current weights, measures and geography have been used where possible. Specific masculine and feminine references are retained, while generic references has been clarified (I am secure enough in my masculinity to not be bothered by this...). Figures of speech, expressions, etc. have been clarified.
Obviously, for study purposes, the NCV is best used with other translations, but that goes for almost any translation. However, for general reading and meditation, I highly recommend the NCV.

Physical Danger
Scientists know how to protect themselves against potential hazards. What you thought the knee-length lab coat, bug-eyed goggles, and powder-free gloves are fashion statements? All that gear is pretty good at protecting you from physical hazards, as long as you are careful in what you do and follow standard safety procedures. But if something does get in your eye, you can look forward to a fun-filled time sending your eyeballs down the water slide and standing under the eyewash shower. Sure you've got soaking wet clothes for the rest of the day, but that beats a chemical burning at your cornea any day of the week. Trust us.

Selectiveness of Selective Service
Despite not having utilized the draft since Vietnam, America still maintains its Selective Service system through which able-bodied young men between the ages of 18 and 25 must register. Rumors have abounded over the past year of the possibility at re-instating the draft should the military draw too far below its recruiting goals in order to maintain a presence overseas. The personnel shortage has even led to the consideration of expanding the draft's eligibility through age 34 and including women.
The Supreme Court upheld in 1981 that it was constitutional to exclude women by drafting only men. In Iraq, there is no frontline and all soldiers are exposed to the threat of insurgent violence. Is it time to recognize the modern universality of warfare's threats and meld the women's rights movement by requiring them to register for Selective Service?

The Salvation Army is currently providing assistance in Central Arkansas, Central/Northern Mississippi, Northern Alabama, Florida Panhandle and Eastern North Carolina.
The outbreak of tornadoes has impacted 15 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia.
In response to the storm, The Salvation Army has provided approximately:
-6,009 meals
-7,185 drinks
-4,630 snacks
-135 instances of emotional and spiritual care
-128 comfort kits
The Salvation Army has dispatched 16 mobile feeding units (canteens) to hard-hit areas.
The Salvation Army maintains a fleet of canteens and supply warehouses throughout the United States to enable speedy mobilization.
There are 260 of these units in the southern United States alone and more than 600 nationwide.
A number of Mississippi communities were damaged by at least nine tornadoes Monday.
Louisville, MS encountered an EF-4 tornado that created a 40-mile path of destruction – two mobile feeding units have been deployed with plans to stay in the area through Sunday.
Richland and Tupelo were struck by EF-3 tornadoes. Mobile feeding units have also been deployed to Richland, Rankin County, Tupelo and Sandersville. Huntsville, Decatur, Florence and Birmingham have all sent canteens into the communities directly affected by the tornadoes.
The Gulf Coast communities in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are battling the effects on extreme flooding following heavy rainfall associated with the storm that has been hammering the South since the weekend.
Coastal Alabama opened its Emergency Shelter Monday night and sheltered 50 people; many homes have been destroyed and many are still without power.
Pensacola has seen as much as 15 to 20 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. The Salvation Army of Florida has deployed two mobile canteens to the area and additional canteens are on alert due to the continuation of severe weather into Wednesday.
Monetary donations are the most critical need as supplies and personnel are mobilized. Donors are encouraged to give online at www.SalvationArmyUSA.org or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY (1-800-725-2769). Online donations for this disaster can be given at the following web address: https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/april2014
You can also text the word "STORM" to 80888 to make a $10 donation through your mobile phone; to confirm your gift, respond with the word "Yes."*
Checks should be mailed to The Salvation Army Disaster Relief, P.O. Box 1959, Atlanta, GA 30301 and designate "April 2014 Tornado Relief."
Those interested in volunteering should register at www.disaster.salvationarmyusa.org. Please note that disaster service training is a prerequisite for volunteering in a disaster zone and not all registered volunteers will be called on to serve.
At this point, in-kind donations, such as used clothing and used furniture, are not being accepted for hurricane relief. However, these items are vital to supporting the day-to-day work of your local Salvation Army. Please consider giving these items to your local Salvation Army Family Store or dial 1-800-SA-TRUCK (1-800-728-7825).
Your donations make a real difference:
-A $10 donation feeds a disaster survivor for one day.
-A $30 donation provides one food box, containing staple foods for a family of four, or one household cleanup kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets and other cleaning supplies
- A $100 donation can serve snacks and drinks for 125 survivors and emergency personnel at the scene of a disaster
-A $250 donation can provide one hot meal to 100 people or keep a hydration station operational for 24 hours
-A $500 donation keeps a Salvation Army canteen (mobile feeding unit) fully operational for one day

Post subject: Is it normal to feel soooooo hungry
Hi. Am just 8 weeks pregnant and am feeling sick pretty much all day every day. I am also starving hungry, ALL the time. I literally finished my lunch today and had to go out for more food. If I am not eating I am feeling sick. Luckily, I haven't put any weight on so far but I am worried I'll end up the size of a house if I keep going!
Am trying to keep going with some exercise and am eating as much fruit as I can manage but it doesn't stop me wanting chocolate/sweets/anything, all the time!
Anyone else feeling like this?

am 13 weeks and i have to eat more than normal for sure - otherwise i start to feel sick - i have breaky mid morning snack lunch mid afty snack dinner and snack - but to be honest i feel sick most evenings so dont manage much unless its put under my nose
but yes i wake up starving and go to bed starving - seems to be normal

Me too its desperate - this is my third successful (so far) pregnancy and I have never had 'morning' sickness before but half the time I cant tell if I feel sick or I am starving...I have put on 9 pounds and I am only about 10 weeks, havent told anyone at work about baby just yet but they are beginning to comment on the sheer amount of food I am eating its like I graze all day - graze being the operative word will end up the size of a cow if I am not careful lol

i'm sooo relieved!! am 8 weeks gone and i thought i was abnormal being hungry all the time!! i have to have breakfast, a mid morning snack, lunch and then by the time i get home at 5...its like i hadn't eaten all day!! lol am genuinely suprised my clothes still fit
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:40 am
Post subject:
I have to say ive been the total opposite - i struggle to eat a plate of food!! For the first 5 months i was sick every day, so barely ate a thing, then i got food poisoning from a works meal at a hotel (granted i didnt eat much of it, but ate enough to get ill), and was in hospital on a drip for 3 days, then since then, ive only been able to eat half of a normal portion - i do find i get peckish during the day though and always carry biscuits and snacks in my bag to take the edge off, but my stomach gets so full so quickly, an the heartburn is hell!! Iwonder if my stomach will go back to its normal size when baby is born so that I can eat a big juicy steak!!!!?!!

I picked up a book a week ago at B&N called "End Game". Its a biography on Bobby Fisher:
It ridiculously good. Before I played chess I found a Netflix documentary about this guy. At the time, I didn't know who he was (my wife knew all about him surprisingly...she doesn't play much chess). She told me he was a chess genius that went crazy and ended up "going anti-American, ant-Semitic".I was more interested at that time in the psychology of the "genius". I thought the guy was pretty amazing, and after a while I was pretty sure his "going crazy" was a manifestation of paranoid schizophrenia that oftentimes does not show up until the mid to late 20's in adult men. Regina, his mother, always knew there were signs of mental illness and the book talks at some length, and rather sporadically, about her attempts to take him to psychologists, etc. The one thing I didn't like about the book was its coverage of this topic. It was superficial at best, and it may simply be because it was a deeply held family secret. I've read about his childhood meltdowns in OTB chess, and "The Game of the Century". I am struck by the fact that, even though Fisher was a genius, it still took him at least 7-11 years (and more!) to become "really good". A testament to the difficulty of the game I suppose.
Anyway, I'm not that far in (~80-100 pages or so) but it is one of the most well written biographies I have ever read next to Einstein by W. Isaacson and Lincoln by R.C. White.
A short while later, I was watching Youtube and found this guy Magnus Carlson. They were interviewing him and asking him if he was going to go crazy like Fisher did. Now, End Game discusses the media treatment of Chess players as social idiots, crazy, losers, etc. Bobby Fisher hated the media for this reason, once telling a reporter to "ask me a question that dosen't make me look bad." I wonder what happened to chess? Why dont we see more of it today. I suppose the America v. USSR cold war hyped up ANY competitive play against the two nations as a source of national pride and propaganda.
I recommend the book highly.
I read the same book and enjoyed it very much. There is another book by Brady about Bobby called Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy which is very good and seems to get more into his earlier chess career and goes up to the World Championship match with Spassky.

P/E multiple
The price-to-earnings ratio ("P/E") is the major multiplier of stock market returns over time. Sometimes, however, the multiplication is a fraction rather than a whole number. When P/E rises over time, the increase in the multiple exponentially drives returns. This creates periods of above-average returns — the secular bull markets. Conversely, a decline in P/E over time offsets earnings growth and leads to periods of below-average returns — the secular bear markets. P/E, therefore, is a major factor for the ultimate course of the stock market.
P/E does not follow a random course; it is driven by the trend and level of the inflation rate. Chart 4 reflects the relationship of P/E and inflation. Periods of higher inflation or deflation drive P/E lower and periods of price stability (i.e., low and stable inflation) drive P/E higher.
[dshort note: for more details, see P/E: So Many Choices, Part II posted on April 27.]
This is important because it provides the framework to understand that P/E is not a random variable, but rather one that is subject to fundamental forces and principles. The change in P/E over time is not only one of the three components of stock market returns (dividends and earnings growth are the other two), it has the most significant effect on the variability of returns over decade-long periods.
P/E is not only driven by inflation, it is also driven by the long-term growth rate of earnings. Earnings growth over the long-term is driven by economic growth. Historically, real economic growth has been relatively constant across the decades averaging near 3%. As a result, P/E progressed from highs to lows based upon the inflation rate.
The range of highs and lows, from just over 20 to just under 10, was determined by the 3% economic growth constant. Had economic growth been lower, then the range and average P/E would have been lower. This paragraph cannot be emphasized enough — the implication is a game changer for P/E if the long-term future reflects lower economic growth.
The 2000s brought a period of economic surprise. The growth rate was not 3%. Conventional wisdom, based upon excessive leverage and unsurpassed American consumerism, holds that economic growth surged forward unsustainably. Supposedly, the U.S. is now expected to atone for that binge with a decade or more of slower growth.
But, real GDP growth in the 2000s was only 1.8%. Even before the 2008 recession, cumulative GDP was chugging along at 2.6% annually and did not exceed 2.7% annually during that decade. Therefore, and this is a major unknown, the economy may be positioned for a restorative above-average decade ... or it could have downshifted to a new lower level. This emphasizes why future economic growth is Major Uncertainty #1 in Probable Outcomes.
A 4% decade would simply get the economy back on track for its 3% trek. If the new economy provides only 2% growth, however, the impact is a downshift in the range for P/E. Note in Chart 5 that the inflation rate will continue to determine the position within the range, but the growth rate determines the level of lows and highs.

Emanuel part of Chicago gun control panel
Gun control dominated a debate in Chicago Wednesday night and Mayor Rahm Emanuel was part of the panel.
Ryan: Every single president since the passing of the antiquity act has done this in their final year in office. To the question of which president has protected the most land, Teddy Roosevelt would seem like a shoo-in. Roosevelt was no slouch in the conservation department, establishing 230 million acres of public land across the growing U.S. of A. For reference, that's about equal to the combined size of Alaska, New York, and Utah.

Hi Rob,
I think my problem might be that the Dr. Octo drum patch i loaded isnt the same u loaded. I might need to experiment more.
The arp is making only minor actions when its activated like its only skimming the drum beat.So i might need to play with the tool bar a bit more and ill send the file when i can if i don't figure it out:)
Hi Rob, heres the video
Hi Rob,
I'm doing the dr. octo-rex tutorial with the arpeggiator.For some reason it seems to be routed right but the arp never seems to be running even if its receiving notes.Loop playback is off and the video was followed word for word but i must have missed something
Thank you rob. I watched the videos and they worked.
Hi rob,
I want to start making my own samples with the kong drum machine.Either using my voice or maybe an mp3.I really have no idea what the first step is..I cant seem to find that in the manual.
thanx rob your the man.. it did work..im sorry i didnt have a manuel..maybe it was in the help section though
Hey, that's the graetset! So with ll this brain power AWHFY?
rob any idea why when i use the matrix-combinator and the dr rocto rex..after i make a few patterns in the matrix…i copy them to the track but when i hit play..its doesnt play say one matrix pattern on block one then the diff matrix pattern on block two…it only plays the pattern that the matrix is lit up on….its like its stuck
Thanks rob,
Sounds pretty good. Still sounds a bit funny on the high notes. I dont know how to describe it. can you tell me if a midi controller may change the sound much as I am just running basic into a technics stereo. I like what you have done with it though, I see you added a pattern matrix which gives it more of a pulse I think. Thnaks a lot for taking the time to have a look at this. I will definately be using this patch
