Palmer, PI, Shaw, SL (2005). Quantifying global marine isoprene fluxes using MODIS chlorophyll observations. GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, 32(9), L09805.
AbstractWe report global distributions of marine isoprene flux, whose source is estimated by combining an empirical relationship for isoprene production rate with MODIS satellite chlorophyll observations from 2001. We use a steady-state water column model including losses to chemistry, bacteria, and air-sea exchange. Physical mixing is a negligible sink. Flux estimates range from 10(7) 10(9) molecules cm(-2) s(-1), with considerable spatial and temporal variability, resulting in a global annual total of 0.1 Tg C/yr. Air-sea exchange is the dominant isoprene sink in the surface oceans, with bacteria the second largest, but much less important, sink. The reported fluxes represent a small loss of OH in the remote marine boundary layer (MBL) compared to other oxidants. Application of our approach to other reactive compounds may improve a priori flux estimates for coupled atmosphere-ocean biogeochemistry inverse model studies.

A jury will hear Steven Tiwini Rakuraku's final argument today, before deciding the murder-accused's fate.
The 39-year-old is facing 12 charges, including kidnapping and murder in relation to the disappearance of Johnny Charles Wright, 50. He went missing on June 21, 2011.
Rakuraku has strenuously denied all the charges against him and has mounted his own defence during the three-week trial at the High Court in Napier.
Yesterday, Rakuraku's Bay of Plenty-based parents gave evidence via video link from the Tauranga District Court, among several other defence witnesses.
Justice Joe Williams indicated to the jury that more evidence may be heard this morning before the Crown, led by Steve Manning and Jo Reilly, amicus curiae (friend of the court), Russell Fairbrother QC and Leo Lafferty and Rakuraku give their closing submissions.
Mr Wright's body was discovered by detectives in a shallow grave near Eskdale two months after his disappearance.
The court has heard during the trial that police searched the area after Rakuraku's partner, who earlier gave evidence as a Crown witness, "came clean" and spoke of a master plan to hide the evidence from police.
Rakuraku took the witness stand on Wednesday, and said he did nothing to cause the 36 rib fractures on Mr Wright's body discovered by a pathologist. He also denied using a taiaha to "pelt" Mr Wright, after his former partner testified that Rakuraku "[gave] Johnny a hiding" until the Maori weapon snapped in two.
A large group of Mr Wright's family and friends has been sitting in the public gallery throughout the trial, and heard Rakuraku claim the 50-year-old's injuries were from boxing training between the two.
Rakuraku admitted lying to Mr Wright's father, when he began searching for his missing son, by saying the Hastings man had moved out rather than the grim truth that he was dead and buried.

Will Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcome a boy or girl? That seems to be on the minds of celebrity watchers. Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, knows, but she's not talking. (Can you blame her?) "They know what they're having," Tina Knowles told Life & Style Weekly on Monday. "But I'm not telling!" She did reveal that her daughter had morning sickness. "She went through it, but she's got past it now. She's doing really good. She's busy. She's craving waffles."
Tina is also excited about being a grandmother for the second time and seeing her oldest daughter become a first-time mom. "I think it will slow her down somewhat, but I think she'll be the same great person she's been."
Beyonce's younger sister Solange has a 6-year-old son, Jules. As for Jay-Z, Tina told the celebrity site: "I think he's going to be awesome. They are very, very happy and just glowing. It's great to see."
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly expecting their first child in February.

Economics of the 1%
How Mainstream Economics Serves the Rich, Obscures Reality and Distorts Policy
This book exposes the myths of mainstream economics behind the public discourse and explains why current policies fail to serve the vast majority.
About This Book
"John F. Weeks has performed a big and important service. The economic dogma that sired the financial crash of 2008–9 and the longest recession for a century remains the dominant ideology, for lack of the coup de grace to consign it to oblivion. John F. Weeks sets about this task with a forthrightness and zeal akin to the biblical destruction of false prophets. This book should be read by all who seek the restoration of sanity in economics from the corrupting clutches of perhaps the biggest austerity hoax ever perpetrated." —Michael Meacher, British Labour MP for Oldham West and Royton
"Weeks's dry and sarcastic style complements, and lightens, his deep analysis of the economic assumptions which many consider rational. […] his work has already played an extremely useful role helping us see and better understand some of the core economic truths we thought we knew." —Steve Rushton, Occupy.com
"Why do economic policies seem so impenetrable and confusing to most? Weeks provides a clear explanation for how the layperson can decipher them. Every concerned voter should read this book to be economically literate." —Peter Welch, US Congressman from Vermont and Chief Deputy Whip of the House of Representatives Democratic Caucus
Today's 'doctrine of choice' assures adults that they are competent to make serious personal decisions about healthcare, education and retirement plans. At the same time, most people are convinced that they are so ignorant of economics that they are not capable of holding an informed opinion, and that economic issues must be left to experts. The so-called experts of the mainstream economics profession claim to have profound, inaccessible knowledge; in fact they understand little and obscure almost everything.
Understanding the economy is not simple, but it is no more complicated than understanding the political system sufficiently to cast a vote. In straightforward language, John F. Weeks exposes the myths of mainstream economics and explains why current economic policies fail to serve the vast majority of people in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. He demonstrates that austerity policies have little theoretical basis and achieve nothing but inequality and misery. He goes on to explain how the current deficit and debt 'crises' in the United States and Europe are ideologically manufactured, unnecessary and simple to overcome. Drawing on examples from around the world, this book provides a bold alternative to the economics of the 1%. Their failure to serve the interests of the many results from their devoted service to the few.

When a parent puts a bottle of baby formula to a child's lips, the parent might not know exactly what ingredients are in that thick, nutritionally packed mix. But rocket fuel? That's not an ingredient many expect to find.
Click to view image: 'df6abb219a75-pd_bottle_070806_mn.jpg'
A study by government researchers released Thursday tested 15 different brands of formula and found a chemical -- also found in rocket fuel -- contaminating every single one.
While the levels of the chemical, perchlorate, have been deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, some worry public health is at risk.
Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested the formula for the presence of perchlorate, a chemical used as the main ingredient in solid rocket fuel. It's a worry because perchlorate can interfere with the production of thyroid hormones by inhibiting the absorption of iodine.
The CDC study found cow's milk-based formula contained more perchlorate than that made with soy or other ingredients.
The two brands with the highest levels -- more than double that of the other milk-based products -- command 87 percent of the market share for infant formula.
The report does not specify the brand names of any formula tested.
Perchlorate has been found in the water supplies of 35 states and has been detected in everything from vegetables to milk. In the case of dairy, the rocket fuel in the water flows into grass, which is eaten by cows, and is then passed along into milk.
The perchlorate was found in levels within a range that's been deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency.
CDC researchers write that "this is reasssuring at first glance," but add that it could be problematic because drinking water in 26 states has high perchlorate levels. So, mixing contaminated powdered milk with contaminated water in those places could result in a dangerous exposure.
"The widespread penetrance of these products, and the potential for utilization of water for reconstitution that has even minimal concentrations of perchlorate," the researchers write, "suggest that a significant number of infants consuming bovine milk-based [powdered infant formula] with lactose, will have perchlorate doses in excess of the [recommended limit]."
Advocacy Groups Says Risk Is Understated
The Environmental Working Group, an organization that advocates for stricter limits on a variety of chemicals, contends EPA's recommended limit is set "too high to protect public health" and understates the risk.
"Perchlorate contamination of drinking water is a very serious concern, particularly for infants," said Dr. Anila Jacob, an Environmental Working Group scientist.
Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, a pediatrician who works on environmental health issues at Seattle Children's Hospital and at the University of Washington department of pediatrics, said it's difficult to say whether this sort of exposure is dangerous.
"Considered in isolation, these perchlorate concentrations in formula are not concerning for child health," Sathyanarayana wrote in an e-mail to ABC News. "The reason that some may be concerned about health effects to children is that there are several sources of perchlorate in our environment ... and, therefore, the cumulative dose of perchlorate to an infant may be much higher than that found in the formula."
"That being said," she added, "the most well-respected studies (only a handful exist) on perchlorate contamination have not found any link between perchlorate contamination in water and health impacts in children. Therefore, we truly do not know if this kind of contamination may be leading to health problems or not."
Another professor of pediatrics, Keith-Thomas Ayoob of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, considers the findings "disturbing" and "a wake-up call to municipalities to clean up their water supplies, if at all possible."
At her confirmation hearing in January, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson agreed to take another look at the safety of perchlorate.
The study appeared in the March 2009 issue of the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology.
The CDC study is based on a handful of samples bought in one city and includes the caveat: "The results of this study may not be relevant throughout the United States."
Still, Ayoob told ABC News, "This is a perfect example of how polluting one area of the environment can be magnified."
"It's not causing harm to the animals or most consumers, but you can see how the effect can be magnified," Ayoob said. "If we get rid of the perchlorate, then the infants, their parents, all consumers, and even the cows and the farmers will be better off and happier."

The Reagan Era
Diplomacy in The Reagan Era
Fighting the "Evil Empire"
Ronald Reagan was one of twentieth-century America's most enthusiastic Cold Warriors. In his Hollywood days, he even served as a secret FBI informant, testifying against Communists in the film industry while serving as head of the Screen Actors Guild and supporting the blacklist against subversives in Hollywood. In his political career, Reagan always toed a hard line against the Soviet Union, which—apparently influenced by the popular Star Wars films—he famously denounced as an "Evil Empire."
Many of Reagan's greatest admirers today celebrate his strong anti-Soviet stance, arguing that Reagan's firmness in waging the Cold War led directly to the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Reagan's aggressive policy toward the Soviets, they say, ended up winning the Cold War for the United States. Reagan's detractors, by contrast, argue that he was recklessly and unnecessarily militant, and that only the good fortune of sane leadership in Moscow saved us all from nuclear apocalypse.
Both groups are mostly wrong.
In fact, Reagan's diplomatic legacy was more complicated than either his admirers or critics are likely to admit. Reagan did lead the United States to victory in the Cold War. But his greatest successes came during his second term, when he abandoned his earlier steadfastness to take a much more flexible stance in his relations with reformist Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan found victory when he found the courage to compromise. By acting as Gorbachev's partner as much as his enemy, Reagan helped the Soviet leader to dismantle the erstwhile "Evil Empire" peacefully, from within.
Fighting the "Evil Empire"
Such a happy outcome scarcely seemed possible in the early years of the Reagan presidency. When Reagan took office, the Soviet Union was still ruled by Leonid Brezhnev, a ruthless Stalinist hardliner who was determined to hold together the Soviet empire by force, if necessary. Reagan matched Brezhnev's indisposition to compromise. Elaborating on the memorable sloganeering of the "Evil Empire" speech, Reagan publicly declared the Soviet Union to be the unique "focus of evil in the modern world," an inherently menacing power that could never be trusted in international affairs.11
Reagan called for a massive buildup in the American armed forces to deter any potential Soviet attack and allow the United States to prevail in battle if the Cold War should ever turn hot. As both superpowers built up their arsenals of nuclear weaponry as fast as they could, Cold War tensions skyrocketed to levels not seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. For the first time in a generation, full-fledged nuclear war seemed an imminent possibility. In 1983, millions of Americans tuned in to a TV movie called The Day After, which depicted, in vivid detail, the devastating aftermath of a nuclear World War III. The plot seemed uncomfortably plausible.
But the nuclear doomsday never arrived. Brezhnev died in 1982, leading to a succession of weak and short-lived Soviet leaders that ended with the rise to power of Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985. Gorbachev was a different kind of Communist dictator. The new Soviet leader saw that the USSR was disintegrating from within, and sought to revive Soviet Communism by reforming it. He announced new policies of glasnost ("openness") and perestroika ("restructuring"), which promised to end the worst abuses of the Soviet police state by granting its citizens greater political and economic freedoms. At the same time, Gorbachev sought to ratchet down Cold War hostilities by negotiating an end to the arms race with the Americans.
Reagan and Gorbachev
Given Reagan's decades-old belief that all Communists were manipulative liars who should never be trusted, it would not have been surprising at all if Reagan had rebuffed Gorbachev's peaceful overtures as nothing more than a cynical gambit. But to Reagan's everlasting credit, he chose to set aside his own anticommunist convictions and meet with Gorbachev. The rest, as they say, is history.
Between 1986 and 1988, Reagan and Gorbachev held a series of summit meetings, surprising many observers by forging not only a strong working partnership but even a close personal friendship. The two leaders reached a series of agreements on arms control. At one point, incredibly, Reagan agreed in principle to a Gorbachev proposal that the two superpowers should destroy all the nuclear weapons in the world. (The details proved unworkable and the proposal never came to fruition—in part because the chief advisers to both Reagan and Gorbachev were appalled by the idea. But the mere fact that Ronald Reagan came to embrace even the concept of total nuclear disarmament must go down as one of the great shocks of modern American political history.)
In 1988, Gorbachev invited Reagan to visit him at home in Moscow, where—amazingly—throngs of Soviet citizens greeted the American president as a great hero. At Gorbachev's request, Reagan even gave a lecture on the merits of capitalism and democracy to students at the prestigious Moscow State University. The president, standing before a giant bust of Communist revolutionary V.I. Lenin, gave a speech extolling the virtues of the free market economy—and was lustily cheered by the Soviet students.
By working with Mikhail Gorbachev rather than against him, Ronald Reagan helped to strengthen the growing spirit of reform within the Soviet Union. In the end, that reform movement developed a momentum all its own, pushing far beyond even Gorbachev's objectives, leading to the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Union and the rapid dismantling of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe between 1989 and 1991. Ronald Reagan's role in that great victory should never be denied—but it has often been misunderstood.

In the hunt for a new sex pill, Johnson & Johnson has staying power, Dow Jones's Peter Loftus writes. The health-products giant is plowing ahead with a pill it hopes will become the first drug approved to treat premature ejaculation, even though the FDA rejected it two years ago.
The agency questioned whether helping men last longer during sex was a clear medical benefit, and may have had concerns about side effects of the drug. Dapoxetine (pictured) belongs to the class of anti-depressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which have been known to have serious side effects. Other SSRIs, such as GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil and Pfizer's Zoloft, are sometimes prescribed by doctors for premature ejaculation, although the drugs aren't approved by the FDA for that use.
J&J plans to file for approval of dapoxetine in Europe and Canada later this year. The company says data from studies completed since 2005 demonstrate the drug's safety and effectiveness. J&J hasn't ruled out a second try for FDA approval to sell the drug to American men.
About 20% to 30% of men lack control over ejaculation and reach climax sooner than they would like, Loftus writes. In studies of dapoxetine, the time until ejaculation increased to about three to four minutes among men taking two different doses of the medicine, compared with less than two minutes for those on a fake pill.
If the drug makes it to market, the sales could mean big bucks for J&J. Dapoxetine could reap world-wide sales of $600 million by 2011, assuming the drug goes on sale outside the U.S. in 2008 and in the U.S. in 2009, Morgan Stanley estimates. J&J hasn't said what it plans to charge for dapoxetine. Competing companies — including Pfizer, the maker of Viagra – have scrapped experimental drugs for the condition since the FDA's thumbs-down for dapoxetine.

FEMA and FTA Provide $4.55 Billion to Rebuild Manhattan Mass Transit
The transportation infrastructure in lower Manhattan, crippled during the attack on the World Trade Center, will be rebuilt with the help of $4.55 billion in federal funds, officials announced on August 12th. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are providing the funding, which will "not only replace what was lost on September 11 but will give the city a state-of-the-art system for its commuters," said FEMA Director Joe M. Allbaugh.
Recognizing the interdependence of lower Manhattan's bus, subway, rail, ferry and walkways, FEMA broadly interpreted its guidelines, allowing maximum flexibility to support lower Manhattan's transportation needs as it recovers from the attack. See the FEMA press release.
"Today's historic announcement will provide funding for a world-class transportation system that will include a new PATH station, a downtown grand terminal, mass transit connections, and underground concourses linking PATH, the N and R subway lines, the 1 and 9 lines, the 4 and 5 lines, and ferry connections," said Joseph Seymour, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. See the Port Authority press release.
The New York City Transit System is among the largest in the world, serving six million riders per day, saving energy, avoiding emissions, and reducing the traffic burden on the city's streets. See the transit system Web site.
The collapse of the World Trade Center resulted in substantial damage to the tunnel that serves the No. 1 and No. 9 subway lines beneath the World Trade Center complex, along with its signals, communications, tunnel lighting and power facilities. In addition, a portion of the N and R subway lines sustained structural damage. See the December 2001 report from the New York State Comptroller (PDF 69 KB). A visual representation of the impacts of the attack is provided by a New York City Transit System map for lower Manhattan (PDF 175 KB). Download Acrobat Reader.
What might a rebuilt transportation infrastructure look like? Check out the suggestions of "New York New Visions," a coalition of 20 architecture, planning, and design organizations. Their principles call mass transit "the single most important investment in the future health of Lower Manhattan." See "Principle 3" on the New York New Visions Web site.

I have a Yonghu RF602 remote release with a cable that fits my D80, I also have a cable for, I think, a D300. What type of connector does the D7K have? Will either of mine work?
#1. "RE: Remote shutter cable?" | In response to Reply # 0gkaiseril Nikonian since 28th Oct 2005Tue 16-Nov-10 03:34 PM
You can use a Nikon MC-DC2 remote release in the Accessory Terminal, see page 281 of your manual, the same release as the D90/5000.

So it sounds like it will not take the same cable as the 80 or 300?

This is Megadeth's 3rd straight comeback album (in a way), and man does it own and harks back to the early days in a way most old thrash bands haven't been able to do for a long time. This albums combines the dizzying sound of the early 4 records with the melodies and catchiness of Youthanasia and (to a lesser extent) Countdown To Extinction, pretty much just like TSHF and TWNAH did but with more emphasis on the thrashing than those two.
The presented lineup here was kickass, as Glen Drover brought a unique style to the band, and had an awesome tone to make his solos pwn our ears in a way like we've never been pwned before, and perfectly compliments Mustaine's crazy pentatonic-tapping shred style. The lead sections are monumental, especially with the classic dueling guitars and harmonic parts, and they are fucking memorable as all hell. Shawn Drover does some great drumming in here too, worthy of being on a Megadeth album. James Lomenzo is a little less audible but still can be heard, but he doesn't seem to make as much of an presence as a current F5 bassist used to, which makes me wish for his return (never gonna happen).
Mustaine has really went on crafting his rhythm playing as most of the riffs on here own everything and anything as only Megadeth riffs can. lyrically this is definatley their most politically charged album, and contain some of the best lyrics he's written since Rust In Peace. They somewhat play off as if this were a concept album, discussing how America and the U.N. would bring about the apocalypse through carelessness and some poor decision making. It seems to have somewhat of a Revelations-Christian vibe, since Dave is now spiritual but they don't really seem to be subliminal in that direction to affect the music negatively.
The songs, Highlights: The first 4 tracks are some of the best tracks under Dave's belt. Each has a great chorus and amazing solo sections. "Sleepwalker" is just a nice dizzying masterpiece, and a solo section that feels like an earthquake to introduce us to Drover's chaotic style. "Washington is Next" does sound a bit like "Wasted Years" , but better and the duel harmonies of the intro and solo pwn all in it's path. "Never Walk Alone" uses the Tornado/Vortex riff but hey it still great and a cool harmonic soft part is definatley pleasing to the ear as well as the catchy chorus. The tilte track is one of the best songs they've ever written, simplistic but bludgeoning, with another amazing singalong chorus and there is a great duel solo towards the end. Other highlights are the groovy "Blessed Are the Dead" and "Play For Blood", the ending of "You're Dead" , and the weird groove of "Burnt Ice" all are great.
The weak parts, well, everyone slams the remake of "A Tout Le Monde", and I think it's quite inferior to the album and original, plus Drover's solo will never match up to the almighty Friedman's. It's not horrible though. "Gears of War", man talk about a botch up. It's not a bad song, but the sound effects and way Mustaine sings isn't the way I originally heard it. There is a youtube vid of them in 2006 at Six Flags and Mustaine sings this at a lower tone plus everything (mainly the drumming) is much more simplistic and it was extremely effective."Amerikhastan" starts off a bit silly, but is rather an effective catchy song.
Overall it's a must own for metal and Megadeth fans alike. This pretty much owns most metal and rock today, and the fact that Dave has been doing this for 2 decades is a testament to his greatness. Their new album is arriving very soon and this is a reminder that only good should be coming out of Dave and the boys the way it was meant to be.

Nathan Sproul
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (March 2013)
Nathan Sproul is a noted Republican strategist[1][2][3] and political consultant for numerous election campaigns. Sproul is the managing director of Lincoln Strategy Group, an international political consulting firm based in Arizona. He is a former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party and the Arizona Christian Coalition. Lincoln Strategy Group has a presence in over 45 states in the U.S. and is known for its grassroots outreach work in issue advocacy and ballot access.
He is a 1994 magna Cum Laude graduate of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College and has a Pastoral degree.[4] Later, he studied at the University of Phoenix to get his MBA.[citation needed]
Nathan and his wife Tiffani (née Smith) graduated from high school at Tri-City Christian Academy in Tempe, Arizona. They reside in Chandler, Arizona with their three triplets.
Nathan started his career as an intern for the Republican National Committee. In 1997, Nathan went to work for the Arizona Christian Coalition.
He served as the Executive Director of the Arizona Republican Party from 1999-2002.[5]
Nathan started his own firm, Sproul & Associates in 2004. Also in 2004, he worked with the effort of removing the Arizona Clean Elections law formed in the spring by Representative Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican. The ballot initiative would have essentially repealed Arizona's Clean Elections campaign finance system. Sproul, was hired by No Taxpayer Money for Politicians to conduct a signature drive to get the anti-Clean Elections bill on the ballot. The initiative had an 84% validity rating (one of the highest in the state). It failed its single subject challenge, with Attorney Lisa Hauser representing the inititiative.[6]
Also during the 2004 election, it was alleged that Sproul's company had set up voter registration drives on their premises under the name "America Votes", a name already claimed by a large, progressive organization.[7][8] In an interview, Mr. Sproul stated that his company sought to register Republicans- as they were hired by the Republican National Committee, but that all employees were legally instructed to register anyone who wished to vote, and that his company had submitted registrations from Democrats and Independents in every state that they had worked in. In Nevada, there was an incident by a fired employee Eric Russell who tried to submit a time card for work that he didn't do. Police were called (and filed a report) after Eric Russell showed up at the office, slashed his supervisors tires, and started tearing up papers in his grasp. Eric Russell still angry about his firing went to the media, and soon reports appeared that "employees had shredded Democratic registration forms and had been told to register only Republicans". Sproul in turn filed a defamation lawsuit against fired employee Eric Russell for the allegations, which Sproul claimed were untrue.[citation needed]
According to a 2005 Baltimore Chronicle article, the Republican Party had paid Nathan Sproul $8,359,161, and alleged this is far more than what had been reported to the FEC.[9]
Sproul & Associates[edit]
In 2004, the voter registration firm Sproul & Associates defended itself from accusations that it was discarding the registration forms of Democrats after a past employee provided KLAS-TV with shredded forms and claimed this discarding was done as a matter of routine. Countering the allegation, Sproul & Associates proved that some Democratic voter registrations had been properly submitted.[10][11]

Silicon atoms play a bit part
Jul 12, 2002
A memory that stores a 'bit' by the presence or absence of a single silicon atom has been developed by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US and the University of Basel in Switzerland. Franz Himpsel's team created the device – made from silicon and gold – which has a storage density of 250 terabits per square inch (R Bennewitz et al Nanotechnology 13 499).
"We were looking to reach the ultimate density limit of bit-wise storage in a solid, which obviously is coding the information of one bit in one atom," says team member says Roland Bennewitz. "The atoms must have a certain distance between them so that they do not interact and thereby obscure the information. Using the presence or absence of an atom on a self-organized pattern provides these requirements in an elegant way."
The scientists created the memory by depositing 0.4 monolayers of gold onto a Si(111) surface at 700°C. Then an annealing treatment at 850°C created the well-known Si(111)5x2-Au structure.
"The memory consists of self-organized gold wires that support the silicon atoms at regular distances," explains Bennewitz.
The memory's self-assembled tracks are five rows of atoms – or 1.7 nm – wide. Each bit is encoded by the presence or absence of a silicon atom inside a two-dimensional unit cell of 5 x 4 atoms. The other 19 atoms in the unit cell stop adjacent bits interacting with each other.
Data can be read from or written to the memory using a scanning tunnelling microscope, or STM. The scientists preformatted the memory with ones by the controlled deposition of silicon onto vacant sites. To write zeros, they used the STM tip to remove silicon atoms from the surface.
"It is interesting to note that the system we propose meets the ultimate density predicted by the mastermind of nanotechnology, Richard Feynman," added Bennewitz. "In his legendary talk he came up with 5 x 5 x 5 atoms to store one bit – in our system we use 5 x 4 atoms."
Bennewitz says that the system is stable at room temperature, which is a big step forward compared with earlier low-temperature atom-manipulation experiments. What's more, the atoms are positioned at well-defined distances along tracks, which allows the use of systematic read-out procedures well known from magnetic hard disks.
However, there are two drawbacks: the memory needs to be prepared and preserved in a vacuum, and the writing and reading speeds are relatively slow.
"When comparing storage density and read-out speed of our atom memory with the information density and replication speed in DNA, we end up with comparable numbers," said Bennewitz.

The term "medicine" has various meanings. As a concrete term it refers to what a physician prescribes for a sick patient. In a more generalized sense, it comprehends what is taught in medical school. But in its broadest and most abstract reference it involves the whole complex of activities having to do with health—and this involves scientific, historical, sociological, and philosophical aspects. In this latter sense, a recent—thin but fascinating—paperback volume1 provides a splendid analysis. The author, British neurologist Henry Miller, is a remarkably fine writer of graceful and lucid prose and the peer of the late Richard Asher. The book, directed primarily to the layman, forms part of a series that discusses "the impact of scientific discovery and technological development on society."
The problems concern both laymen and physicians, for both participate in the process and both have a vital stake. The technical knowledge of the physician places

Life without YouTube: Haseeb Asif
Guest post by HASEEB ASIF
A young man wearing faded jeans and a t-shirt too unpleasantly tight around his middle, sits on his end in front of a laptop, weeping. The tears aren't exactly the gushing springs of fresh grief, more the trickling of nostalgic streams. He misses his favourite website. Everything bookmarked in his browser that isn't pornography is from that site. He contemplates an incalculable loss. Today, as many times before, he's come home from a hard day of not doing anything at work, just wanting to lose himself in the magical world of user uploaded videos.
But he can't. Because PTA (Pakistan Telecommunications Assholes).
He's despondent. Miserable. He sits for hours staring at the 'webpage not available' screen wondering how his life went so wrong. He doesn't understand it. All he wants to do is watch the next iteration of 'shit brown people say…' Is that too much to ask?
He's forgotten what it was like before the internet apocalypse. He's forgotten the happiness of clicking on random things on the related videos bar. He even misses those infuriating advertisements he used to skip after five seconds. If he had the chance to, now, he'd never skip one again.
This young man is just one of many. There is a collective despair in society. Retired uncles, housewives, crazy cat ladies, conspiracy theorists all around the country are bereft of the only meaningful entertainment in their lives.
The ban came at a wrong time for me too. I was halfway through a two week course in Taekwondo, that ancient art of pulling muscles in your groin; I'd almost learned how to hold the guitar properly while my musician friends took a break; my cooking lessons had advanced as far as burning eggs and toast; my command over Spanish swearing was getting better every day; my doctoral research on Egyptian belly dancing was coming along fine; and I'd nearly mastered the skill of rolling joints that utilise multiple skins of paper, like as many as two.
It was making me a better person. Since then I've regressed back to a savage state of ignorance and self-help books. The site was a good friend to me. It understood me. The recommended videos tab had just the right balance of Kishore and Honey Singh.
I ended up just as depressed as that young man, probably more so. I'd have hung myself with a rope but I couldn't access the instructional video on YouTube.
As a video sharing site it's irreplaceable. Where else will you find footage of classic Bollywood songs sang in heavenly voices and shot in dreamy technicolour? Or Madam wearing five layers of make-up singing about some jerk who called her to a bridge on the canal and never showed up?
I was waiting with baited breath to see if there would ever be someone lovelier than Awais Lovely, and would they both be trumped by someone Loveliest. Will Dr. Aamir Liaquat ever get a reply to his proverbial question, "kaisa diya?" Where now will Mathira upload her wardrobe malfunctions? Will no one again make a video about the signs of the apocalypse and the coming of Dajjaal set to Clint Mansell's music? Will we never see a boy from Sialkot make a 'leave Veena alone' video? Is it even worth doing motorcycle stunts on the GT Road if the world can't appreciate you?
What will happen to those Indian and Pakistani video comments sections filled with the highest regards for each other's mothers and sisters? Will nobody again speak up for their revolutionary brother 'jo garmi mein kharab hogya?' Will the One Pound Fish guy get the least number of online hits from his own country? Oh so many unanswered questions.
And where will we see Humsafar parodies? And old PTV clips? What happened to the Sindhi Britney Spears? Is there a Pashtun Justin Bieber we don't know about?
It wasn't just Pakistanis on YouTube, it was Pakistan.
I think it says a lot about this country's problems when an imbecile in California talking about an Arab can bring things here to a standstill and manage to leave a lasting impact five months on. The bloated sense of self-importance in what is largely an imagined 'Muslim Ummah' continues to occupy mainstream Pakistani discourse.
But while zealousness and fervour might've been high at one point, there's little popular support for the ban now. Those with the privilege of internet access mostly want it back, and those without this privilege don't give a shit either way.
Though I can understand why the powers that be are comfortable letting the ban endure. It can't be amusing for Ministers to have videos online showing them scratching their hard-to-reach areas, or for Generals to be seen threatening cameramen. The content on the site, by definition, is impossible to monopolise. Everybody is fair game, which is indeed the source of the controversy; media bloopers, political gaffs, clerical blundering, they're all up there documented and proofed.
It's in the nature of authority to mistrust anything it can't control. Which is why I think they're endorsing an unpopular and, more importantly, stupendously useless piece of censure. It isn't harming Google or any Western film makers, all its doing is irritating Pakistanis and holding back our web developers.
One would imagine that in a country with so many economic burdens and problems of law and order, banning websites would be the last thing on anyone's list of useful agendas.
But as someone so aptly summed up the attitude of the authorities, "baray hi banchod hein".

Minds are like para suits, they only function when they are open. It is not the problem of pakistan only. There are number of governments on this planet who have joined this rat race kind of a league to ban things. They first ban the para suits and then expect them to fly when required. In India also we have seen a chain of chaos on a movie recently. Here it was a state government in the action. I find it horribly true that Governments these days are giving up against some ruthless and inhuman organizations and banning everything they find just for few votes. People are not raising their voices against this crap. I would be least surprised,if tomorrow they ban the people from breathing, to save oxygen, as we obey these opportunistic and insensitive governments, hoping for better to come.

Understanding Women in RelationshipsMen commonly complain that understanding women in relationships is well-nigh impossible. Have you seen the book entitled What Men Know About Women? When you open the book, you find all the pages are completely blank!
Guys, there is hope! Here are three keys to help in understanding women in relationships:
Accept that your wife is wired differently; don't complain about it, or wish her different: leave the differences and capitalize on them. Viva la difference!
I have wasted time wishing my wife was the same as me—in regards to sexual desire, for example. What I have learned is that these differences are actually designed by God to strengthen marriages, as husband and wife focus on meeting each other's needs—and not just focus on their own. Open communication, honesty, and the desire to meet your spouse's needs enhances interdependence and love.
A man's natural desires and tendencies are different than a woman's—marriage, then, becomes the most unique inter-connecting and fulfilling relationship on the planet—when we follow God's design.
Women are motivated by:
Obviously, I am generalizing. But the pattern holds true.
Imagine four couples meet at a restaurant for dinner. Someone stands and says, "I have to visit the restroom. Anyone else want to come?" If a woman says this, it's considered normal. If one of the guys were to say it, we'd raise our eyebrows and think he was weird!! Why? Men and women have separate and distinct, yet recognizable motivations.
Most women have conversation as a top need. Men, on the other hand, don't have to talk to be happy.
Most men identify sex as one of their top needs. Most women list sex as need #23, just below gardening!
Men need:
… in this order, usually!

Damage caused to stone and brick walls by Cement Pointing
One of the major causes of damp in old houses is linked to the use of cement strap pointing. This became popular in the late 1960's and 1970's, when every builder was going around offering to 'repoint your walls and make them look nice'. A solid brick or stone wall, built with lime mortar, needs to breathe. It loses its moisture content through the mortar joints. If this breathability is blocked, through the use of cement, the wall immediately starts to get wet. Water is trapped, and the only way it can get out is via the brick or stone. In winter, the damp brickwork then freezes, and the familiar rotting and spalling bricks or stone start to appear. Cement pointing is responsible for dreadful damage to thousands of walls all over the country. At the same time as trapping water, it forces water into the wall - where it emerges inside - blowing plasterwork, and creating the usual symptoms of 'rising damp' - which of course, it is not! The 'timber and damp surveyor' will try to sell you yet another injected damp course, which you don't need - to prevent a problem which doesn't exist. If you have cement pointing to an old wall - the simple solution to any damp problems is to get rid of the cement. Usually, this will be all that is needed. Builders rarely if ever re-point properly, and the strap pointing usually falls off quite easily. Underneath, you will find nice, solid lime mortar that isn't damaged. If the mortar is very badly eroded, or has cracks and holes in it, then you may want to re-point using hydraulic lime mortar.
Investigate the claims made by the damp companies and building companies that you invite to 're-point' your stone or brick wall. You will be very surprised if any of them recommend using lime - most of them will want to use cement, and many of them will blame the damp problems you may be experiencing on 'rising damp' - which of course by now we know it isn't, and never was. These people just won't get the message that the solutions are so simple and cheap, that if everyone DID get the message, the timber and damp surveyors, and the chemical companies that employ them, would be out of a job. Quite often they will try to persuade you that the wall is badly damaged and needs to be 'Rendered in a Waterproof coating'. This is complete rubbish - and will destroy the wall. NEVER allow anyone to use a cement or waterproof render on any wall.
Repointing of old walls must be done using a mortar that is softer than the material we are pointing - this gives the wall the best chance of breathing. Generally, a very soft old red brick, or a crumbly sandstone or soft limestone would need what we call an NHL 2.5 hydraulic lime mortar to point it with. The joints are raked out to a depth which is equivalent to twice the width of the mortar joint - it's important to make sure that we have a good depth of mortar in the joint. We show you how to do this on the lime pages of the site if you need to do it yourself - it's not hard, and a good way to spend a summers day - I tell my clients to grab a few cans of beer and a chip hammer, and just chip away and have fun - it shouldn't become a chore. A 'beer o'clock job' as we used to say in Australia!
This is a brilliant video to show what happens:
The house was chemically injected by an idiot from the Property Care Association, who diagnosed 'rising damp' and damaged the outside of the building by drilling totally uneccessary holes everywhere. All that is needed is for the pointing to be removed, and the mortar to dry out. Gentle re-pointing in lime will complete the drying cycle and leave the house warm and dry.

The award was bestowed upon Pulis for his acclaimed revival of Palace. The Eagles finished 11th after the Welshman took control of a team holding just four points from 11 games and placed six points from safety.Pulis cut his managerial teeth first as a player/coach for Harry Redknapp at Bournemouth in 1992 and onwards through further appointments with Gillingham, Bristol City and Portsmouth.But it was at Stoke where his reputation was cemented as he transformed the club from a mid-table Championship outfit to one of the toughest in the Premier League with a feared home record and top-flight stability.JOINT-ASSISTANT HEAD COACH: DAVID KEMPDavid Kemp was appointed as Albion's joint-assistant head coach, extending a long-standing association between himself and Tony Pulis.Kemp was previously in a similar role working with Pulis at Stoke and Crystal Palace, having also worked with the Welshman at Plymouth.Previously he had worked as chief scout at Leicester.Earlier in his coaching career, Kemp followed Joe Kinnear to the Manor Ground in November 2000 to manage Oxford, with Alan McLeary completing the management trio as Kemp's assistant.'Kempy' has amassed considerable managerial and coaching experience over the years, including two spells as first-team coach at Wimbledon.As a player he spent time with Crystal Palace, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Carlisle before hanging up his boots.His first experience of management came in 1985 when he took charge of Swedish side Hagahoden, before cutting his teeth as a manager in England.JOINT-ASSISTANT HEAD COACH: MARK O'CONNORMark O'Connor was reunited with Tony Pulis having first played alongside the Albion head coach during their spell at AFC Bournemouth during the late 1980s.The pair duly went on to forge a strong coaching partnership and worked together at Portsmouth, Plymouth and Stoke.Prior to joining the Baggies, O'Connor worked at Bristol City having been appointed as Under-21 coach at Ashton Gate in summer 2013.As a player, O'Connor began his career with QPR. The midfielder also played for Exeter and Bristol Rovers, earning one cap for the Republic of Ireland U21 side against England in 1985. He spent some 18 months at Rovers, scoring 13 goals in 99 appearances before leaving for Bournemouth in March 1986. O'Connor enjoyed five seasons at Dean Court, making 148 appearances and helped the Cherries win the Third Division title in 1986/87. He went on to play for Gillingham before making a return to Bournemouth, subsequently ending his career back at Priestfield helping the Gills gain promotion in 1995/96.FIRST-TEAM COACH: GERRY FRANCISGerry Francis linked up with Tony Pulis in January 2015, extending their partnership into a seventh year and a third Premier League club.This is Francis' 14th year in the top flight, seven as a manager, during which he never finished below tenth place. Francis holds the proud record of being the only Premier League manager to establish two separate London clubs - QPR (fifth) and Tottenham (seventh) - as the capital's top side.His first managerial post came with Exeter in 1983, where he was player/manager. Francis then joined Bristol Rovers as a player and turned out in 33 league games before becoming manager in July 1987.After four successful years at the Memorial Ground he was appointed as manager of QPR, a club he served with distinction during his playing career during the 1970s.Rangers finished fifth in the inaugural Premier League season before Francis took over from Ossie Ardiles at Tottenham in 1994, spending three years at White Hart Lane. After leaving north London, Francis returned to QPR once again as he became manager for a second time. Rangers found themselves at the bottom of the First Division but his return spurred on the R's and relegation was avoided on the last day of the season.Francis left QPR in 2001, taking over briefly at Bristol Rovers. More recently he worked with England's U19s before linking up with Pulis, first at Stoke and then at Crystal Palace.GOALKEEPING COACH: JONATHAN GOULDJonathan Gould joined Albion in February 2015, arriving from a coaching role with New Zealand club Wellington Phoenix - the only non-Australian team currently competing in the Hyundai A-League.The one-time Scotland international was also heavily involved with the goalkeeping departments within New Zealand's U20s and U23s.As a player, Gould, son of former Baggies boss Bobby, notably racked up over 150 appearances for Celtic, featured in the Premier League with Coventry and was a member of Scotland's 1998 World Cup squad.He was on the books at Albion for a short period in 1992 – although he did not make an appearance - and also lined up on loan under Tony Pulis at Gillingham having first got to know him when the Welshman was a coach at Bristol Rovers.

, , and Biogas enablement software/hardware
for gasoline & diesel engines and forklifts
Enables any gasoline or diesel engine or forklift to run on natural gas or hydrogen gas!
Natural gas is the best choice for forklifts
Advantages of Natural Gas Over Electricity, Gasoline, Diesel & Propane: Helps meet CARB ban on gasoline and propane forklifts: Save Time / Save Money / Go Green / Be Clean:
As the cleanest burning fuel available today, natural gas is the perfect choice for operating forklifts. It offers a number of benefits over the other types of commercial and industrial forklifts propane, gasoline, diesel and electric.
No yard tank storage or loss of indoor space: Natural gas forklifts use a compressed gas system for refilling a permanently mounted tank. Refueling takes place onsite at a natural gas station, so theres no loss of indoor floor space as there is with an electric forklift battery recharging area. Natural gas also eliminates the need to have a propane tank storage area on the property, plus theres no concern about running out of propane tanks before the next scheduled tank delivery. Gasoline and diesel are more expensive and, of course, does not meet new CARB rules banning their use.
Refueling a natural gas forklift takes only minutes: It saves time and eliminates the possibility of physical injuries from changing out a tank. The forklift operator simply refuels at any time at a natural gas station, without the worry of wondering if the tank is nearing empty.
Improved indoor air quality: The carbon monoxide emissions of natural gas forklifts are up to 95 percent lower than propane forklifts, reducing potential headaches that may be experienced by workers who are exposed to exhaust fumes.
Lower maintenance costs: Natural gas also helps engines operate more efficiently, lowering maintenance costs.
Lower operating costs: In most cases, natural gas is 1/2 the cost of propane, gasoline or electricity.
Enablement is easy: Our technical team can enable forklifts to run on natural gas within a day. Our technicians will also train and certify your mechanics onsite.
Natural Gas Is Better than Electric:
More Valuable Space: Natural gas forklifts require
no batteries to be recharged, maintained or replaced, hence no internal
floor space is required for recharging stations. Most natural
gas refuelling stations are located outdoors, freeing up indoor room
for valuable production or warehousing space.
How to convert? Existing propane forklift trucks can be converted to natural gas quite easily and economically. Trained technicians will come to your facility to do the conversion work onsite.
Flexible: Natural gas forklift filling stations can be sized to match the number of forklifts at your facility, duty cycle and fuel consumption. It can be easily adapted to accommodate changes and growth in accordance with your future needs.
Convenient: Enjoy the convenience of refuelling on site, 24 hours a day.
JiffyGas deliverables:
1. JiffyGas software/hardware installation enabling any propane or gasoline forklift to run on CNG natural gas
2. Provide onsite training and certification of your customers mechanics to install and maintain JiffyGassystems
Enabling LPG propane or gasoline forklifts to run on CNG natural gas can reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by up to 95 percent plus natural gas costs ½ of propane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
Title: Request for Comment; Visitor Permit and Visitor Registration Card.
OMB Number: 0596-0019.
Expiration Date of Approval: 05/31/2013.
Type of Request: Extension with No Revision.
Abstract: The Organic Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 473), the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271) require the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture manage the forests to benefit both land and people. The information collected from the Visitor's Permit (FS-2300-30) and Visitor Registration Card (FS-2300-32) help the Forest Service ensure that visitors' use of National Forest System lands is in the public interest and is compatible with the mission of the Agency. Information will be collected from National Forest System land visitors, who will be asked to describe the location of their visit and their estimated duration of use.
The Visitor's Permit, Form FS-2300-3, is required for visitors to enter many special management areas on National Forest System Lands, including Wilderness Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and restricted off-road vehicle areas. The permit is only used where public use levels must be managed and monitored to prevent resource damage, to preserve the quality of the experience, or to maintain public safety. The personal contact generated by issuance of the permit results in improved visitor education and information about proper camping techniques, fire prevention, safety, and sanitation. The information collected from the Visitor's Permit may also be used to respond to indicators or standards in a Forest Plan or Wilderness Management Plan. The Visitor's Permit captures the visitor's name and address, area to be visited, dates of visit, length of stay, method of travel, number of people, number of dogs and number of pack and saddle stock (that is, the number of animals either carrying people or their gear) in the group. The Visitor's Permit is usually issued by Forest Service employees at an office location. Visitors may obtain the permit in person or call ahead and provide the required information over the phone. The information collection does not involve the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
The Visitor Registration Card, Form FS-2300-32, is a voluntary registration card, which provides Forest Service managers with an inexpensive means of gathering visitor use information required by management plans, without imposing mandatory visitor permit regulations. Moreover, the information collected can be used to respond to indicators or standards in a Forest Plan or Wilderness Management Plan without requiring a mandatory permit system to gather and record the data. Use of the Visitor Registration Card is one of the most efficient means of collecting data from visitors. It allows the Forest Service to collect data in remote locations, where it is not feasible to have permanent staffing. The Visitor Registration Card is normally made available at un-staffed entry locations such as trailheads, and is completed by the visitor without Forest Service assistance. The Visitor Registration Card provides information from wilderness and special management area visitors including name and address, area to be visited, dates of visit, length of stay, method of travel, number of people, number of dogs, number of pack and saddle stock (that is, the number of animals either carrying people or their gear) in the group, and number of watercraft or vehicles. The information is collected once from visitors during their visit and later gathered by Forest Service employees who then analyze the information.
The use of these two forms allows managers to identify heavily used areas, to prepare restoration, and to monitor plans that reflect where use is occurring, and in extreme cases, to develop plans to move forest users to lesser impacted areas. They also provide managers and search and rescue personnel with information useful in locating lost forest visitors. The inability to use these forms could result in overuse and site deterioration in some environmentally sensitive areas. Furthermore, without these forms, the Forest Service would be required to undertake special studies to collect use data and could be pressed to make management decisions based on insufficient or inaccurate data. The information collected will not be shared with other organizations inside or outside the government.
Please note the Forest Service is exploring the possibility of merging the burden associated with this OMB control number, 0596-0019, into the extension with revision Information Collection Request for OMB 0596-0106, Recreation Administration Permit and Fee Envelope, currently under OMB review.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 minutes (FS-2300-30), 3 minutes (FS-2300-32).
Type of Respondents: Individuals and groups requesting use of National Forest System Wilderness and special management areas.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 517,500 respondents.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 25,875 hours.
Comment Is Invited: Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
All comments received in response to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. Comments will be summarized and included in the submission request toward Office of Management and Budget approval.
Dated: October 15, 2012.
James M. Peña,
Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
