Contagion Returns
By Katie Martin and Jonathan House
Contagion has returned to the euro-zone government bond markets, and not the good kind.
For several months, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has spoken about "positive contagion" in the euro area, with a brighter tone in Spanish government bonds helping bonds from other countries, including Ireland and Italy.
Tuesday, the tendency for bonds of fiscally stressed euro-zone states to move in lockstep was less benign. In a jerky early selloff, as Italian government bonds crumpled under the weight of investor unease over the country's election results, Spanish bonds also felt the heat.
"Italy and Spain are both quite closely correlated so if Italian government bonds fall further, Spain could come under pressure as well," said Richard Kelly, head of European rates and foreign exchange research at TD Securities.
As Mr. Kelly added, the bond markets aren't in full-blown panic mode just yet. The sharp early selloff has stabilized as trading has continued, and "Spanish yields will have to rise by another 0.50-0.75 percentage points before investors start getting concerned about Spanish finances," he said.
Still, trading activity Tuesday has been the first burst of pan-regional crisis-like conditions that traders have seen in several months, with U.K. and German government bonds–seen as safe retreats–also moving in tandem, another sign of a stressed environment. It all acts as a reminder that the fortunes of one euro member matter hugely to the ability of its peers to borrow funds at an affordable rate.
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said he was "extraordinarily worried" by an Italian election result that showed strong advances by parties expressing doubts about Europe's austerity drive. "The result affects us all, and we should think about what's going at a time when voters seem to think traditional parties don't satisfy their needs," he said on the sidelines of a conference.
Mr. Garcia-Margallo's comments came as Spanish markets creaked under the pressure of the Italian election results. The Spanish 10-year government bond yield–a key indicator of Spanish investment risk–rose 0.15 percentage point to 5.26%, roughly matching the highest level since December. The country is set to issue new bonds next week, with details pending this Friday. Meanwhile, the country's IBEX-35 stock index fell by 2.7%.
Italy's 10-year benchmark bond yield surged to a high of 4.81%–easily the largest one-day move in the past year. The sharp move is likely to raise fears that Italian borrowing costs could return to levels seen in the summer, prior to Mr. Draghi's pledge to support the country's bonds, when 10-year yields hit 6.68%.
"We see yields printing fresh year-to-date highs before eyeing the 5% handle. Tomorrow's launch of a new 10-year benchmark [Italian bond] should accelerate the repricing," said strategists at Commerzbank.
At a short-term debt auction Tuesday, Italy paid its highest borrowing costs in four months, setting the scene for steep borrowing costs at that bond sale.
Recent opinion polls say that a Spanish electorate fed up with a string of political corruption scandals and a punishing austerity regime would give the Popular Party and the Socialist Party less than 50% of the vote if elections were held now. If those numbers don't change, the stability of a political system based around two major parties could be undermined in the medium term, echoing vote results in Italy.
David Mackie, an economist at JP Morgan Chase in London, said Spain's European partners would be unlikely to allow the country to suffer unduly as a result of Italy's bond-market troubles.
"If Spain suffers significant collateral damage here, the rest of the region is likely to want to be supportive," he said in a note to clients Tuesday.
Mr. Mackie said that Spain could win relatively easy terms for international assistance, if it were clear that Italian woes were at the core of Spanish problems.

HCA reveals plans for new code of practice and "robust stress testing of business plans"
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
HCA reveals plans for new code of practice and "robust stress testing of business plans"
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) today launched a consultation on a range of changes to the Regulatory Framework including plans for "robust stress testing of business plans" and a new code of practice.
The HCA says the changes are designed to "protect social housing asets and maintain the credit worthiness of the sector in a more complex and risky operating environment".
The consultation follows feedback from the sector on the HCA's discussion document last year. It hopes the proposed changes will help it to deliver its statutory objectives more effectively, while maintaining the confidence of investors, tenants and other key stakeholders in the sector.
The proposals include:
1. Changes to the Governance and Financial Viability Standard (G&FV)
• focus on risk management and mitigation, including the requirement for providers to have undertaken robust stress testing of the business plan and to have a comprehensive register of their assets and liabilities
• in addition, the Regulator will expect providers to ensure that they have the appropriate skills to manage their risks and to certify annually their compliance with the standards
• where providers' businesses are ultimately controlled by a non-registered organisation, then the Regulator will be seeking additional assurances about the security of the social housing assets
2. Code of practice
• As well as changes to the G&FV Standard, the Regulator is proposing to introduce an associated code of practice that will amplify and expand on the standard to help providers understand the concerns of the Regulator.
3. Disposals regime
• The Regulator is planning on changing its consents regime to protect the public value in social housing assets as they move between the not for profit and for profit sectors.
Julian Ashby (pictured), chair of the HCA Regulation Committee, said: "We have considered the feedback on the discussion document in great detail and believe that this consultation reflects a reasonable response to the significant changes in the social housing sector.
"The sector used to rely on substantial levels of government grant for new development, housing benefit underwriting rental income in full, and banks providing long term debt on low margins. This no longer applies. The consequences for both providers and the Regulator are profound.
"For providers, there are different business models to consider and different risks to manage as they navigate this more complex world. In this context, the Regulator needs to ensure it is keeping pace with developments and is able to spot where problems may emerge and deal with them effectively.
"Our job is to protect social housing assets and their public value. This is for the benefit of tenants, taxpayers and lenders. It also provides the preconditions for further investment and asset growth. We consider that changes will be needed to keep the Regulatory Framework 'fit for purpose'. We want to consult on these changes before reaching a firm conclusion."
Details of the proposed changes and the rationale are in the statutory consultation document, which is available to download from the HCA website. The consultation is subject to a statutory 12-week consultation period that will close on Tuesday 19 August.

When Bishop O'Dowd High girls basketball coach Malik McCord emptied his bench with 14.7 seconds remaining in the Dragons' 60-45 state championship win over Windward-Los Angeles on Saturday, his four senior starters approached him from the court and they all gathered for one big bear hug.
It signaled an end of an era, as the four seniors were sophomores for a team looking to be competitive against state powers and ended with the squad being the dominant team in the state.
"The seniors started with me when I took over as head coach," said McCord after his team's California Interscholastic Federation Open Division championship victory Saturday. K.C. Waters started as a freshman for McCord. As sophomores, Oderah Chidom, Ariell Bostick and Waters started for a young team that reached the 2011 CIF Division III championship game before falling to St. Joseph-Santa Maria and finishing with a 25-8 record.
As juniors, the trio led the Dragons to the CIF Division III title and a 30-3 record, and senior Breanna Brown joined them in the starting lineup this year in a 30-3 state-championship season.
"It feels amazing for us seniors, to go out so powerful with a state championship," Waters said.
The Cal-bound Waters had her second straight outstanding performance in a state championship game. After scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the Dragons' state victory in 2012, Waters had 12 points and 20 rebounds Saturday. The rebound total is tied for fifth all-time for a California high school girls state championship game, and is the most rebounds produced in a California girls state championship game since 1997.
Forty-eight of O'Dowd's 60 points in the CIF championship game were scored by the four seniors, including a team-high 17 points by Bostick. All four of the players have Division I scholarships: Waters (Cal), Chidom (Duke), Bostick (San Diego State) and Brown (Virginia Tech).
"They were there when we were trying to be a top power, and now they are the top power and showing the younger players what they went through," McCord said. "You can't be much more of an inspiration than that."
Boys volleyball
The East Bay Athletic League still reigns supreme in the East Bay, but the Mission Valley Athletic League is starting to close the gap.
With four teams ranked in the top 15 in the Bay Area News Group East Bay online rankings, the MVAL will be as competitive as any league in the area. There's no clear-cut favorite.
"The MVAL title is up for grabs, more than ever," James Logan coach Matt Guzman said. "Due to the increase of MVAL athletes participating in club volleyball over the past couple of years, the league has become more balanced and competitive."
Logan has been right behind perennial league front-runner Mission San Jose the last few seasons. But this year, Kennedy-Fremont, American and Moreau Catholic are also in the mix.
The Colts began league play with a win over Moreau Catholic on Tuesday, and the grind of the MVAL schedule should help prepare Logan for a possible North Coast Section Division I playoff run.
"The main reasons we can contend in NCS is because of the amount of talent and drive we have to continually improve and win games," Guzman said. "We are a young and developing team and so far we've only scratched the surface of our team's potential."

Judge Partially Rejects Challenge to Alabama Immigration Law
Breaking: A federal judge today partially rejected the federal government's request to block Alabama's strict new immigration law.
At issue is a law considered the nation's toughest on illegal immigrants. It makes it a crime in Alabama for an illegal resident to apply for a job; it requires public schools to check the immigration status of students, and it authorizes state police in certain instances to verify the immigration status of people detained or arrested.
The Justice Department filed suit, claiming the law is unconstitutional on the grounds it allegedly usurps federal authority over immigration.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn of Alabama upheld key sections of the Alabama law concluding that they are not preempted by federal law.
Blackburn let stand the provisions authorizing local police to inquire about detainees' immigration status and requiring public schools to verify students' immigration status. (Click here to read the judge's ruling.)
But the judge did enjoin other sections of the law, ruling that "there is a substantial likelihood" that the Justice Department can establish that the sections are preempted by federal law.
Blackburn, for example, blocked regulations that make it a crime for illegal residents to apply for a job and that make it unlawful for people to "conceal, harbor or shield" an illegal resident.
The Law Blog has sought comment from the Department of Justice and Alabama Governor's Office.
Omar Jadwat, an attorney with the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, which has also challenged the Alabama law in court, called today's ruling a mixed bag. The judge let stand sections of the Alabama law "that are of serious concern, and the enforcement of those sections would lead to widespread civil rights violations," Jadwat said. "It is positive that she has enjoined some of the sections" of the law.
(Here's a recent WSJ article on the case and click here for Law Blog background on the dispute)
Update: A Justice Department spokesperson said that DOJ is reviewing the ruling to determine its next steps. "We will continue to evaluate state immigration-related laws and will not hesitate to bring suit if, in fact, a state creates its own immigration policy or enforces state laws in a manner that interferes with federal immigration law," the spokesperson said.
Alabama governor Robert Bentley has released a statement calling the judge's ruling a "victory for Alabama."
"If the federal government had done its job by enforcing its own immigration laws, there would be no need for Alabama – or other states – to pass a law such as this. Unfortunately, they have failed to do their job," the governor said.
"The judge temporarily enjoined four parts of the law, but this fight is just beginning. I am optimistic that this law will be completely upheld, and I remain committed to seeing this law fully implemented. I will continue to fight at every turn to defend this law against any and all challenges."

Change Your Mindset
Here are some helpful insights that should allow you to relax and handle the recent instability in the market.
change your perspectiveConsider the money that you are putting aside as savings, rather than an investment. This simple change in attitude will help you realize that the money you are saving is geared towards a specific goal.
That is how financial planning can help you; a disciplined and systematic savings routine that will allow you to complete your financial goals as well as help you sleep at night.
You have to realize that the markets will turn around at some point (don't ask when, because I do not know myself). I could tell you that the markets will surely be volatile in the short run because of the fear caused by the recent events in the United States.
easier said than doneChanging your mindset is not going to be easy. There are all these numbers and graphs informing us that the market is due for a rally after such a horrendous decline. History is only a minute picture of what can happen after a disaster, although the market has always rebounded in the same year or the one after.
When an advisor uses a 10% annual return, there is a reason: because the markets have done so, not on a consistent basis, but rather on an average basis, and that is all investors have to remember. This should provide some solace because the market will eventually return to its norm and grow.
Now let's work on your mindset...

Senator Orrin Hatch about the President's Inaugueration -
"Presidential Inaugurations are a time to look forward at the opportunities possible over the next four year. It is my sincere hope that President Obama will use this opportunity to bring the country together and focus on commonsense proposals to strengthen our country for current and future generations of Americans. We face some great challenges, but we're presented with many opportunities as well, and I look forward to working with President Obama during his second term to get our country back on the right track."

Ellen has been fucked her best friend's son, now his buddy will introduce her to anal sex.
The two lovers lay bonded together after they shared their common orgasm. Jack pulled his manhood from Ellen. Jack straddled the lounge chair as his huge semi hard cock was covered with his cum and her juices dripped onto Ellen's torso. "Bring that here," Ellen requested as she looked at his cock in awe. She pulled Jack towards her until his wet dripping cock was above her mouth. Ellen...Read On

A very enjoyable week-end conference.
His cock was pumping like a slow piston in and out of my ass and my face was pressed up against a brick wall in the alley. Both of my nipples were being pinched and rolled to excruciating delight. My new friend had only been at it for about two minutes and I was already on the edge of a mind-blowing orgasm, but let me rewind a little. I work for a small manufacturing company and we...Read On

Taken by a stranger in public
It was a warm summers night. My long backless ball gown clung to my body, the split exposing my right leg almost to my hip, the curve of my breasts and my stiff nipples clearly visible through the gown in the absence of any bra or any underwear at all for that matter. I was at a charity ball with my partner at a nice hotel just on the outskirts of town. The drink was flowing, we were dancing...Read On

Hooking a big one
"I got one! I got one!" I was so excited that I almost tripped and fell headlong into the stream. I had awkwardly cast the lure one more time and just as I had begun to reel it in, it disappeared.

I rented from Enterprise because it was attached to the bodyshop where my vehicle was being repaired and they had an agreement with my insurance company. I did a walk around of the vehicle and did not see any damage, although with the full sun, a minor dent might have gone unnoticed. I took the car. Upon returning the care the agent said it looked like there was a dent in in the right side rocker panel as though it had been hit by a shopping cart and she was going to file a damage report. I told her I could not take responsibility for the damage as I was not certain that the damage wasn't there when I picked up the car and I missed it because the car was clean and the sun was shining on the car.
Well I received a bill for the repairs from Enterprise asking me to pay for the damage. First the bill was sent to my mothers address (not sure why) so I received it almost a month late. Second, the bill included charges for damage to rear bumper, handle, tail light assembly, and a belt w/strip hatchback. None of these were discussed or visible when I returned the vehicle.
I'm sorry, I feel like I am being shaken down to make cosmetic repairs to a cheap car that I did not have anything to do with. I am part of the 'Presidents Circle' for Hertz and I have never ever had an issue with any vehicle I rented. This incident with Enterprise guarantees I won't be renting from them and neither should you. Keep reading the complaints and you will find similar incidents where customer have been shaken down to repair a vehicle.

SUBMITTED: Friday, January 11, 2013POSTED: Friday, January 11, 2013
In November I received an email from Chris Morris (an Enterprise representative) saying he would investigate my grievance. I never heard back from Chris, but I did receive an email from Enterprise stating that the status of my incident was being changed to 'Solved' as they have not heard from me. Considering I have not received any communication from Enterprise asking for a response, this is puzzling. Guess this is Enterprises way of closing out complaints. I emailed Enterprise and let them know that the incident was not 'solved'. Stay tuned.

Clegg: Leaving Europe Will Put Jobs at Risk
Thursday 17th January 2013
During his second historic Call Clegg show on LBC 97.3 Nick Clegg has warning the Prime Minister's strategy on Europe risks harming the economy.
Mr Clegg also warned that the Prime Minister's policy on Europe risks harming the economy.
David Cameron is expected to use a speech to to call for a re-negotiation of the UK's relationship with the EU.
The new deal is then expected to be put to a referendum in the next Parliament.
But the Deputy Prime Minister fears the economy will be damaged by the uncertainty.
"My own view is what we need to do is yes work together across party lines in Britain and with other countries to constantly reform and improve Europe - I want to see it become less bureaucratic, I want to see the common agricultural policy reformed, I want to see nonsences like the two seats of the European Parliament brought to an end," he explained live on LBC 97.3 this morning.
"But I don't think you serve the British national interests - and I certainly don't think you protect the three million jobs that are dependent on our place in Europe - if you somehow suggest you are heading to the exit door."
He went on to admit that he hasn't seen David Cameron's speech ahead of tomorrow, adding, "much of his speech he's delivering as leader of the Conservative Party" and that as Lim Dem leader he wouldn't expect to have to show Mr Cameron his speeches.
"I suspect I might see it in advance," he did add.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has joined LBC 97.3 for a weekly, live phone-in.

P. O. Box 117 Plato Center, IL 60170.
Lavern Kammerude, of Blanchardville, Wisconsin, started painting
when he retired from the dairy farm at the age of fifty-five. He is
now seventy-three years old with over 200 original paintings to his
credit. He paints what he knows and remembers. Farm scenes of days
gone by spring to life on canvas through masterful strokes from his
Kammerude was the winner of the 1986 Wisconsin State Heritage
Award for outstanding 'rural art' work, and the Wisconsin
Art Board has called him 'an outstanding talented man
The remarkable thing about this retired dairyman-turned-artist
is that he has had no formal art training and creates his oil
paintings almost entirely from memory. Asked about how he acquired
his artistic talent, Kammerude replies, 'I guess I've
always had it, and I nurtured it along a little with a course by
mail from an artist's school.'
Kammerude's paintings vividly conjure up nostalgic scenes
from his boyhood days growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm. He
recalls helping his dad hitch up the team of horses on a cold
winter day to haul milk to the cheese factory. He has fond memories
of neighbors getting together for 'threshing bees' and of
haying and shredding with the machinery of that day. In fact, the
memory of these occasions is so indelibly imprinted on
Kammerude's mind that he is able, through total recall of the
situation coupled with his artistic talent, to recreate the scene
right down to the most minute detail.
Kammerude resides with his wife, Mildred, on a small acreage
near Blanchardville, a sleepy little community tucked away in the
hills of southwest Wisconsin. When he doesn't have a paintbrush
in hand, Kammerude likes 'fishing and going to ballgames,'
but bringing to life on canvas memories of his rural Wisconsin
childhood is what he likes to do best.
The Kammerude paintings shown on this page are among a number of
works for which signed, numbered prints are available.

Magnetospectroscopy of AIP Quantum Wells1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183464View Description Hide Description
Cyclotron resonance, quantum Hall effect, and Shubnikov de Haas oscillations measurements of quasi‐two‐dimensional (2‐D) electrons in modulation‐doped AIP quantum wells are investigated. This study enables to clarify the electronic structure of quasi‐lattice matched AIP/GaP quantum wells that are epitaxially grown on (100)‐oriented GaP substrate. The 2‐D electrons occupy conduction band minima at X‐points of AIP Brillouin zone. When reducing AIP well width in the region between 5 nm and 4 nm, groundstate valley degeneracy swops between and This indicates a strain and confinement controlled crossover of longitudinal and transverse valleys centred at the X‐point. Cyclotron resonance measurements of AIP wells narrower than 4 nm and wider than 5 nm provide transverse and longitudinal effective masses: and Knowing the value of AIP‐well thickness at valleys crossover, we have calculated the deformation potential for bulk AIP In addition, g‐factor enhancement was measured in a single valley 2D‐elctron gas. Finally we address intersubband optical properties of AIP/GaP quantum wells for THz applications.
The Affinity Between High Magnetic Fields And Nano‐Structured Systems1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183423View Description Hide Description

We compare several semiconductor systems in 3D, 2D, 1D, and 0D as a function of the external magnetic fields between 0 and 100 T. Phenomena such as magnetic freeze‐out, magneto condensation, and magnetically induced 2D→3D transition will be reviewed in several examples, such as for GaAs by magneto luminescence investigations and HgSe:Fe by Shubnikov‐de Haas effect and Megagauss IR‐magneto transmission.
Time‐Stepping and Convergence Characteristics of the Discontinuous Galerkin Time‐Domain Approach for the Maxwell Equations1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183437View Description Hide Description
We provide details on the performance characteristics of the Discontinuous Galerkin Time‐Domain (DGTD) method when applied to solving the linear Maxwell equations. It is shown that even for very simple, grid‐aligned structures, the DGTD easily outperforms the well‐established Finite‐Difference Time‐Domain (FDTD) method.
The Study of a Dielectric Catastrophe in Nonlinear Nanophotonic Quantum Wires1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183450View Description Hide Description
We study a dielectric catastrophe in a new class of materials called nanophotonic quantum wires. They are made from two types of photonic crystals where one is embedded in the other. It is considered that the embedded crystal is made from nonlinear dielectric spheres. The wire is doped with an ensemble of nanoparticles which are interacting with each other via the dipole‐dipole interaction. The absorption coefficient of the wire has been investigated in the presence a weak probe laser and a strong pump laser. The probe field measures the absorption spectrum and the pump field changes the refractive index of nonlinear photonic crystals due to the Kerr effect. The density matrix method is used to calculate the absorption coefficient. Numerical simulations have been performed for the dielectric constant and the photon bound states. It is found that the dielectric constant of the system has a singularity when the resonance energy of a nanoparticle lies near the bound photon states of the wire. This is known as the dielectric catastrophe. This phenomenon can be used to make all‐optical switching devices.
Optical Surface Vortices and Their Use in Nanoscale Manipulation1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183461View Description Hide Description
Following a brief overview of the physics underlying the interaction of twisted light with atoms at near‐resonance frequencies, the essential ingredients of the interaction of atoms with surface optical vortices are described. It is shown that surface optical vortices can offer an unprecedented potential for the nanoscale manipulation of absorbed atoms congregating at regions of extremum light intensity on the surface.
Optical Spectra of the Jaynes‐Cummings Ladder1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183476View Description Hide Description
We explore how the Jaynes‐Cummings ladder transpires in the emitted spectra of a two‐level system in strong coupling with a single mode of light. We focus on the case of very strong coupling, that would be achieved with systems of exceedingly good quality (very long lifetimes for both the emitter and the cavity). We focus on the incoherent regime of excitation, that is realized with semiconductors quantum dots in microcavities, and discuss how reasonable is the understanding of the systems in terms of transitions between dressed states of the Jaynes‐Cummings Hamiltonian.
Nonlinear Electrodynamic Properties Of Graphene1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183487View Description Hide Description
A brief overview of theoretical and experimental results on the linear and nonlinear electrodynamic properties of graphene is given. Due to the massless energy dispersion of quasi‐particles graphene manifests strongly nonlinear electromagnetic response. It is shown that graphene can be used in electronics as a frequency multiplier for microwave and terahertz generation.
Colloidal Synthesis and Optical Properties of Lead‐Iodide‐Based Nanocrystals1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183488View Description Hide Description
Nanosize devices have attracted tremendous interest over the last few years for a wide range of biomedical, biochemical sensing, and optoelectronic applications. In this paper, we will review recent progress in understanding the behavior of lead‐iodide‐based nanocrystals and discuss their optical properties. Due to a much better overlap of the electron and hole wavefunctions, the optical transitions in nanocrystals have a much higher probability than in bulk materials, leading to optical emission from materials that in their bulk form do not even emit light at room temperature. Possible applications of lead‐ halide‐based nanocrystals are also discussed.
Nonlinear Optics in Confined Structures for a Better Understanding of Vacuum Field Fluctuations1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183489View Description Hide Description
The confinement of light between two highly reflective mirrors, the so‐called optical microcavities, can lead to very interesting novel effects. It is well known that the resonant recirculation of light inside a microcavity can be used to study the strong coupling of light waves with nonlinear materials. Under these confinement conditions, nonlinear optical effects like second harmonic generation, parametric fluorescence, and so on, become more easily observable. Microcavities can also be used to investigate vacuum quantum fluctuation, i.e. the temporary appearance of particle‐antiparticle pairs out of nothing allowed by the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In such confined media, the fluctuating quantum states can be manipulated and intensified at specific wavelength by properly selecting the size of the microcavity resonator. In this work, we give an overview of the research done by our team using microcavities. We also discuss how these microcavities are fabricated using Bragg mirrors obtained from direct current magnetron sputtering.
Exciton‐ and Light‐induced Current in Molecular Nanojunctions1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183490View Description Hide Description
We consider exciton‐ and light‐induced current in molecular nanojunctions. Using a model comprising a two two‐level sites bridge connecting free electron reservoirs we show that the exciton coupling between the sites of the molecular bridge can markedly effect the source‐drain current through a molecular junction. In some cases when excited and unexcited states of the sites are coupled differently to the leads, the contribution from electron‐hole excitations can exceed the Landauer elastic current and dominate the observed conduction. We have proposed an optical control method using chirped pulses for enhancing charge transfer in unbiased junctions where the bridging molecule is characterized by a strong charge‐transfer transition.
Coulomb drag effect in parallel quantum dots1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183491View Description Hide Description
We study theoretically the electronic transport in parallel few‐level quantum dots in the presence of both intradot and interdot long‐range Coulomb interaction. Each dot is connected to two leads and the steady‐state currents are calculated within the Keldysh formalism using the random‐phase approximation for the interacting Green functions. Due to the momentum transfer mechanism between the two systems it is possible to get a nonvanishing current through an unbiased Coulomb‐blockaded dot if the other dot is set in the nonlinear transport regime. The transitions between the levels of the passive dot reduce the drag current and lead to negative differential conductance.
Transport and thermodynamic properties of 2DEG in the presence of tilted magnetic field1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183492View Description Hide Description
We study the effects of a tilted magnetic field acting on a non‐interacting two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We show that the existence of an angle between the external magnetic field and the normal direction to the 2DEG plane introduces severe changes on the electronic properties of the electron gas, with consequences on the thermodynamic and transport properties. Here, we consider that the electrons of the gas feel the presence of a tilted magnetic field and are confined by a non‐symmetric potential. Then, taking into account the Zeeman and Rashba spin‐orbit interactions, we obtain the Fermi energy, magnetization and the Hall conductivity for magnetic fields with different intensities and tilt angles. The influence of a weak periodic potential on these quantities is also analyzed. Our results show that some specific physical properties can be given to the 2DEG (in a reversible way) with a convenient choice of the intensity and tilt angle.
Multi Million Atoms Molecular Statics Simulations of Semiconductor Nanostructures1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183417View Description Hide Description
Atomistic Molecular Dynamics and Molecular Statics simulations are nowadays capable of accessing highly sophisticated high performance computer architectures. Therefore it is becoming natural to push these methods towards realistic experimental sizes in order to design simulations with predictive power. In order to simulate elastic strain in semiconductor nanostructures and their immediate environment one needs to typically include at least 1 million atoms. Such sizes require ad hoc methods that in spite of their empirical nature can still prove accurate compared to ab initio methods, at least in the subset of the physical properties that one is simulating. We will show how the Abell‐Tersoff empirical potential can be convincingly used to simulate the elastic behavior of even epitaxial quantum dots comprising 3 million atoms and made of complex quaternary semiconductor alloys.
Diffusion In Nano‐Scale Metal‐Oxide/Si And Oxide/SiGe/Si Structures1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183418View Description Hide Description
MOSFETs incorporating SiGe and channels are an attractive option to further increase complementary MOS logic performance since these alloys offer electron mobilities significantly higher than Si. The poor electrical quality and low chemical stability of native oxides, leading to Fermi level pinning and high defect densities, often prevents the fabrication of competitive devices. Oxygen transport in model 2–10 nm thick systems, including Si, SiGe ultra‐thin alloys, and hafnium oxide films grown by atomic layer deposition was studied by high‐resolution ion scattering (MEIS) and conventional Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) in combination with isotope tracing. We found much lower activation barrier value in the case of which is attributed to distinctly different oxygen incorporation mechanisms. The growth rate is two orders of magnitude faster for SiGe ultra‐thin alloys and it cannot be described by the Deal‐Grove model and its modifications, nor the reactive layer model. Potential outcomes of these reactions at the interfaces and associated band alignments with the introduction of metal gate materials will be discussed.
Dipole‐Exchange Theory of Spin Waves in Nanowires: Application to Arrays of Interacting Ferromagnetic Stripes1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183419View Description Hide Description
Calculations for the dipole‐exchange spin waves in small arrays of nano‐scale ferromagnetic stripes are reported using a microscopic, or Hamiltonian‐based, method. The stripes are coupled via the dipolar fields that extend across the nonmagnetic spacers between elements of the arrays that are either juxtaposed horizontally or vertically with respect to the stripe width. The coupling is found to be stronger in the vertical arrangement, which is the focus of this paper. The effects on the discrete spin‐wave frequencies and the spatial distribution of the modes are studied in terms of dependence on an applied magnetic field and the wave number along the stripe axis.
Microdomain Phases in Magnetic Multilayers1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183420View Description Hide Description
The magnetic properties of ultra‐thin magnetic films can be fine tuned to a remarkable degree by varying the number and composition of the individual layers and the substrate. Of particular interest is the ability to vary the effective magnetic anisotropy by changing the thickness of the film. This allows experimentalists to study in some considerable detail the nature of the magnetization close to the spin reorientation transition. In this paper we review some preliminary results from a theoretical analysis and simulation studies that describe some of the key properties of microdomain phases observed near the spin reorientation transition.
Atomic Theory Of Phononic Gaps In Nano‐patterned Semiconductors1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183421View Description Hide Description
An Enhanced Adiabatic Bond Charge Model is applied to a variety of semiconductor nano‐patterned structures to examine their phononic behaviour. We apply this approach to determine the locations and widths of phononic band gaps, and negative phonon group velocities, for both longitudinal acoustic and transverse acoustic modes, in the nanosized superlattice. In addition to reproducing the LA band gaps observed recently by Ezzahari and co‐workers using a picosecond technique, we predict this superlattice to be a true one‐dimensional phononic system in the hypersonic range. We show that embedded wires of Ge in Si can be either a one‐dimensional or an optical phononic crystal and that Sn wires embedded in Si can also be a 2D phononic crystal.
Study of Quantum Yield and Photoluminescence of Thiol Capped CdS Nanocrystallites1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183422View Description Hide Description
For the preparation of thiol capped CdS nanocrystallites, the microwave (MW) assisted reaction of cadmium acetate with thiourea in N, N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) was controlled in the presence of two capping agents, 1‐butanethiol and 2‐mercaptoethanol. The peak position of the absorption band of the CdS nanocrystals in DMF solution shifted towards longer wavelength with increasing duration (by repeated exposure for a fixed time) of MW irradiation, for 1‐butanethiol caped CdS nanocrystals indicating growth of particle size. However, the peak position of absorption band remained nearly at the same wavelength and only the intensity of the absorption band increased with increasing duration of MW irradiation for the 2‐mercaptoethanol capped CdS nanocrystals. Photoluminescence (PL) of the CdS nanocrystals in solution with 1‐butanethiol as capping agent was observed to shift towards higher wavelength in the visible range of the spectrum showing a decrease in intensity with increase in the duration of exposure of MW irradiation. For the 2‐mercaptoethanol capped CdS nanocrystals in solution, the photoluminescence peak remains nearly at the same position, showing a decrease in intensity, with increase in duration of exposure of MW irradiation. The CdS nanocrystals were also characterized by XRD and FTIR. The relative PL quantum yield of the CdS nanocrystallites was estimated under various experimental conditions. The formation of sulfur vacancies (surface defects) on CdS nanocrystallites in DMF for both the capping agents were indicated by emission measurements. The estimated relative PL quantum yield decreases systematically with increase in MW exposure for both 1‐butanethiol and 2‐mercaptoethanol capped CdS nanocrystallites.
Hydrothermal Synthesis, Characterization and Optical Property of Single Crystal ZnO Nanorods1147(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3183424View Description Hide Description
ZnO nanorods of in diameter and in length were synthesized by cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted hydrothermal technique from a single molecular precursor. The influence of pH on morphology and PL property of ZnO nanorods were investigated. The phase and structural analysis were carried out by X‐ray diffraction. Morphology of the nanorods was investigated by electron microscopy techniques. Optical properties were investigated by photoluminescence spectroscopy. As prepared ZnO nanorods have been single crystalline without defect and shown intense room temperature photoluminescence peak in the ultraviolet region.

For several years Bob's BMW in Jessup, Md., sold used BMW Authority bikes to consumers through an arrangement with the primary dealer supplier of BMWs leased to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The CHP operates hundreds of BMW motor units, so there was always a fresh supply of bikes coming off lease — bikes the California dealership would've never been able to find a home for. Cue Bob's, 3,000-some miles away.
At Bob's, 60,000-mile off-lease RT-Ps sold for over $10,000.
Ashton Menefee, sales manager, Bob's BMW, says Bob's used to have the "pick of the off-lease litter,"" while all of the banged-up or otherwise flawed units went to auctions.
"We did full inspections of the units we purchased and even had an extended warranty available for them," he says. "It was a pretty good business, but it dried up in the past year."
"There's a different dealer supplying the CHP now, and it appears the contract has changed — we don't know what's happening to the bikes coming back into the market, but we're not seeing them," Menefee says.
One reason Menefee cites as possibly responsible for changing his business: "Some organizations, like the Maryland State Police, have a requirement where, when their bikes reach their service limit, they must be sent to public auction."
Nevertheless, Menefee says Bob's — halfway between Washington DC and Baltimore — continues to find sales with BMW Authority Bikes by selling new RT-Ps to civilians. "We sell several each year," he says. "In fact, I'm talking to a customer about one today."

I had originally purchased these because I'd had something similar in a bloody mary when I was on vacation. However, I found that they also make a unique, flavorful, healthy and low-calorie snack. I think they would also work well chopped up in a green salad or antipasto salad.

Play Blackjack Live
We offer eight deck Live Blackjack with a live dealer and a real Blackjack table, with multiple players.
Game Type
There probably is a game round in progress at the moment you enter. Please wait until the current game round is finished. You can then place your bets.
Click on a chip of desired value to select it. Then click on the bet area on the Blackjack table to place your bet. Once a main bet has been placed, Side Bets can be placed. Move your cursor over the blackjack table and click on either the Player's Perfect Pair or the Dealer's Perfect Pair bet area to place your side bet. Every click adds one chip to the bet. Click another chip to select it if you wish to increase the bet by some other amount. Right-clicking on the bet area removes one chip from the bet.
You have a limited amount of time from the moment a round is started to place a bet. Then the next round is dealt and if your hand wins, you receive your winnings. When finished placing your bets, click the Confirm bets button.
Each confirmed player main bet will be visible to all the players at the game table. If you do not wish to have this option enabled, open the options menu and enable the Hide my bets from other players radio button. When disabled, you will no longer be able to see other player bets and other players will no longer be able to see your bets.
You can skip a turn by simply not placing any bets on the table.
Multiple Bets
If the Multiple Bets option is supported, additional bets are accepted after your first bet has been placed and confirmed. Multiple bets are accepted only if the betting round is still open. Remember to confirm each additional bet by clicking the Confirm bets button.
Wait for your turn. Then use the Hit , Stand, Double, Split and Insurance buttons as necessary.
You must make your move in a certain amount of time (see the timer in the upper right corner of the screen). If you do not make a selection, you will automatically stand.
If every player at the table busts, the round is over. The dealer's second card is not revealed and dealer does not draw additional cards.
Before the start of each round, one card will be drawn from the deck face down and "burned" (discarded).
Card shuffle
The cards are played until the "split card" is drawn. When the "split card" drawn the dealer will announce that the cards will be replaced in the following round. A shuffler will arrive to the table with pre-shuffled cards; the used cards will be removed from the table. The shuffler will perform an additional shuffle on the table and the new deck will be placed in the cards show.
Side bets
A side bet is a wager you can make beyond the regular game bet. You can bet that your own first two cards or the dealer's first two cards form a pair. The following is a description of the available side bets:
Player's Perfect Pair / Dealer's Perfect Pair
The side bet rules are the following:
- The Player's Perfect Pair side bet wins if the first two Player cards form a 'Perfect Pair', 'Colored Pair', or a 'Red/Black Pair'.
- The Dealer's Perfect Pair side bet wins if the first two Dealer cards form a 'Perfect Pair', 'Colored Pair', or a 'Red/Black Pair'.
- The Perfect Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair of the same suit, for example a pair of 4 of Diamonds.
- The Colored Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair of the same color but different suit, for example 4 of Diamonds and 4 of Hearts.
- The Red/Black Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair, but with different colors and suits, for example 4 of Diamonds and 4 of Spades.
- Both Player's Perfect Pair and Dealer's Perfect Pair side bets can be placed at the same time.
- Side bets cannot be placed without placing a regular bet.

Ohio's lt. gov.: 'Sticker shock is coming' on ObamacareUPDATED 6:36 PM EDT Aug 12, 2013
As Ohio's lieutenant governor met privately with some business leaders in Cincinnati, she had a full plate of hot potatoes.Video Transcript
ALL ARE ON THE MIND OF OHIO'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TONIGHT.... AS SHE MEETS PRIVATELY WITH SOME CINCINNATI-AREA BUSINESS LEADERS... PRIOR TO THAT, SHE SAT DOWN WITH WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON .... (Mary Taylor - Ohio Lieutenant Governor) ("Still, too many Ohioans don't know what's coming...") A dire warning from Ohio's second in command. ("I think for many, sticker shock is coming. Premiums are going up.") Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor, saying brace yourself for a 41% increase in health care costs. Based on the current market, health plans in Ohio right now cost roughly $236 a month on average. Next year, the projected average cost is about $402. Critics of the Kasich administration call it "scare tactic" season, saying health coverage will be more affordable in the long run because those who need help paying the price will get a subsidy. Those like Mary Taylor, who want the market to drive the bus on this issue, say it's no coincidence the words subsidy and spending start with the same letter. (Mary Taylor) ("Just providing a federal subsidy -- again, which comes out of the pockets of taxpayers -- isn't solving the problem that we face in this country.") One problem involves job creation. Ohio's unemployment rate is 7.2%. 160,000 private sector jobs have been created since Governor Kasich took office. He would like to see a raft of new construction jobs for a Brent Spence replacement bridge in the year ahead. A funding study with a tolls component is due next month. But, how likely is a funding formula this year? (Mary Taylor) ("You know, clearly it's probably a very optimistic or extremely aggressive goal at this point to have funding mechanisms in place by the end of the year. But, I do think that it is still, it is still viewed as a priority.") THE WHOLE POINT OF FAST-TRACKING THE PROJECT IS TO AVOID AS MUCH ESCALATING COST AS POSSIBLE. WE'RE TOLD FOR EVERY YEAR OF DELAY, ADD $75 MILLION TO CONSTRUCTION COSTS. SHEREE... TONIGHT THE CASE AGAINST A MAN

CAPE GIRARDEAU - Junior Calvin Williams returned to basketball practice at Southeast Missouri State Friday, Nov. 7.
Interim Director of Athletics Cindy Gannon suspended Williams from all basketball activities on Oct. 25 and announced Friday that he would return to practice, but will be suspended for the exhibition game Saturday night against MacMurray and road games next week at New Mexico and Kansas State.
Williams appeared in court on Thursday and the judge gave him a suspended imposition of sentence and placed him on probation. Gannon said she feels the University has fully investigated the case and the ruling made by the court.
"I think we have considered all issues and have been fair with our process and punishment," Gannon said. "Calvin has been out of practice since Oct. 25 and will miss a total of four contests. The University considers the case closed and will have no further comment."

Aye aye Vito,would that be the same EPL football that has the biggest world wide T.V. audience ? I would suggest that could be because it is actually good to watch,unlike some of the negative,half hearted dross churned out in Italy,Spain and elsewhere in Europe.I admire the technical ability on display in Spain and Italy but the play acting and dishonesty in the game in both of those countries has surely gone too far. Some of the "games" I've watched were more like WWF wrestling than football,not because of the physicality but because you knew what you were watching wasn't genuine. Having said that I agree with what you said about the F A, yet again displaying duplicity at it;s very best.

New York Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith is expected to opt
out of the final year of his current contract this summer, becoming a free
agent in the process. While there have been questions surrounding the potential
of New York re-signing the sharpshooter to a more lucrative and long-term
agreement, Smith told Peter Botte of The New York Daily News that he hopes to
retire a Knick, adding that he doesn't "want to go anywhere else."
"I want to retire a Knick. I don't want to go anywhere else," Smith said. "I love my teammates, I love my coaches. I was standing in the locker room looking at my jersey after the game and just knowing that I don't want to be anywhere else except in the orange and blue. We'll see."
Currently, Smith is set to make $2.8 million next season. This is considered to have him significantly undervalued, which is why he's expected to opt out.
Considering the boost Smith's market received following his impressive campaign, it's not clear if the Knicks have what it takes to re-sign him. The most New York can offer is an exemption that starts at $4.9 million per year over four years. There could be another team out there that has more money to throw at Smith.
Still, considering his comments and apparent desire to remain in New York, it seems like the Knicks at least have a shot at signing the 27-year-old.

2014 Triathlete Buyer's Guide: Wetsuits
- by Shaun Guest and Erin Beresini
- Published Apr 30, 2014
- Updated Apr 12, 2016 at 12:39 PM UTC
2XU A:1 Sleeveless
$280, 2xu.com
The draw: Effective fit, plenty of lift
Sleeveless wetsuits are tricky to fit; they must keep water from dragging at the armpits without restricting your stroke by pinching. With seven sizes to chose from and an expertly crafted cut, the A:1 does just that while also boosting the hips, legs and chest for optimal body position in the water. All of that earned it high marks from both novice and expert swimmers. On a not-too-cold day it feels like a secret weapon for extra shoulder freedom.

Feature Watch: Player Game Finder
Posted by Neil Paine on September 22, 2009
When we updated the site a while back, some things slipped through the cracks in the transition. I mean, when you have a site as sprawling as this one (and I'm not tooting our horn here, either -- for better and for worse, it's "sprawling"), it can be easy to lose sight of some little features here and there, so you don't end up missing them until you need a particular tool, you look for where it used to be, and it's not there anymore. Which is a sad moment.
