Word Origin: Americium was named after the continent of North America. Its name references its lighter lanthanide homologue, europium, which was named after Europe where it was discovered.
Discovery: Because americium is a synthetic transuranic element, its discovery was really a creation. It was made by Glenn Seaborg, Ralph James, Leon Morgan and Albert Ghiorso late in 1944 at the wartime metallurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago. It was made as the result of successive neutron capture reactions by plutonium isotopes in a nuclear reactor.
Americium was the fourth synthetic transuranic element to be discovered. Unlike previously discovered transuranic elements, americium chemically behaved like the lanthanide series of elements. This behavior, and the similar behavior of newly discovered element curium, prompted Seaborg to radically revise the periodic table and create the actinide series. [Related: How Are the Elements Grouped?]
The initial discovery was classified as secret as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II, but was later declassified. Seaborg announced its discovery on the U.S. children's radio show, "The Quiz Kids," five days before his planned presentation at an American Chemical Society in November 1945. One of the young listeners asked whether any new transuranium element beside plutonium and neptunium had been discovered, and Seaborg responded with the announcement.
Properties of americium
Americium is highly radioactive. Freshly prepared americium metal gives off a white, somewhat silvery luster. It tarnishes slowly in dry air at room temperature. Americium is more malleable than uranium or neptunium. Americium has numerous compounds. In solutions, americium has oxidation states III, IV, V, and VI. In carbonate solutions, americium can coexist in all four oxidation states simultaneously. It is only the second element, after plutonium, to do this.
Like all highly radioactive elements, americium and its compounds must be handled carefully in a laboratory under special containment conditions. When gram quantities of 241Am are handled, the intense gamma activity makes exposure a serious problem. [See Periodic Table of the Elements]
Sources of americium
Americium is made synthetically. The first substantial amounts of metallic americium were not prepared until 1951 through reduction of americium(III) fluoride with barium metal in high vacuum at 1,100 C (2,012 F), producing up to 200 milligrams. Now americium can be made in kilogram quantities.
Uses of americium
241Am has proven to have many uses, including as an ionization source in smoke detectors. 241Am has been used as a portable source of gamma-rays and alpha particles. In this way, it can be used in indirect analysis of materials in radiography and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. It can also be used to gauge glass thickness and produce flat glass.
Isotopes of americium
Americium currently has 19 known isotopes and 8 nuclear isomers. The half-lives for most isotopes and isomers range from 0.64 microseconds for 245Am to 50.8 hours for 240Am. 241Am and 243Am are the longest living with half-lives of 432.2 and 7,370 years, respectively. They are alpha-emitters and are now available in high-purity kilogram quantities. The nuclear isomer 242Am has a half-life of 141 years. Like most other actinides, the isotopes of americium with odd numbers of neutrons have relatively high rate of nuclear fission and low critical mass.

Veracity VHW-HWPS-C HIGHWIRE Powerstar Ethernet & PoE over Coax CAMERA unit.HIGHWIRE Powerstar's unique ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery enables long range extension even over the lowest-grade cable, such as the high-resistance copper-clad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations. This means that legacy coax upgrades can be planned with confidence, while a quick check of the SafeView power display reaffirms that the devices connection will continue to be reliable, whatever the cable used. Reliable power delivery is also ensured at the source, where either dependable screw-terminal connections or a UPSbacked POE supply can be used. And for predictable network operation with no restrictions, HIGHWIRE delivers a full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth at 300m (1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m (1600 ft) of RG-11 coax.
If a custom application demands a greater range, HIGHWIRE coax sections can be connected in series to deliver network connections up to 4km (2.5 miles), at full bandwidth and with no extra power wiring. With no need to configure IP addresses, set DIP switches, or make awkward measurements and calculations, installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar is so straight forward, all you need to do is plug it in. In the most simple implementation the BASE unit receives POE power from a standard POE switch or injector and transmits it down the coax. The CAMERA unit receives this power and forwards it on to the IP camera. No external power cabling is required, and all detection and setup occurs automatically. If POE is not available, or for an extra power boost at either end of the cable, just connect the optional power supply.
HIGHWIRE Powerstar features Veracity's unique SafeView display, to provide IP camera installers with an instant and very easy-to-understand confirmation of correct operation from either end of the cable. For example, the network link/activity and POE status of the IP camera can be viewed from the BASE unit, saving the time of accessing remote equipment. Cable length and quality can be hard to predict or measure, especially in legacy upgrade scenarios, which is why SafeView includes a reassuring bar - graph display of the POE power available, and a warning if the camera's requirement approaches it. True POE Plus detection means that all POE (IEEE 802.3af) and POE Plus (IEEE 802.3at) cameras are fully supported, and non-POE equipment can be safely connected as well. Careful POE-over-coax detection and management is also employed, to prevent accidental damage to legacy equipment and allow operation with other HIGHWIRE models.
- Re-use existing coax cable for IP cameras
- Eliminate power cabling with Power over Ethernet over coax
- Reliably power POE Plus cameras (25W)
- Instantly check connection and power status with SafeView
- Fully automatic - no configuration required

'The Voice' Recap: Stuff My Niece Says
As I am watching Monday night's episode of NBC's reality television show, "The Voice," I'm joined on the couch by my niece, Jacqueline Siefert, 24, a recent Rhode Island School of Design graduate, who is living with me in Brooklyn while doing multiple fashion-related internships in Manhattan.
As I am taking notes, I realize what Jackie has to say is way more interesting than anything I might have to say about the show. I wonder: should have done a live blog of Jackie's running commentary? Maybe tomorrow?
Jackie on Sam Alves, the Brazilian-born pop singer who does not win a spot on any team:
"I liked him. I feel bad for him. It's scary to wear red pants."
On Karina Glesias, who wins a spot on Team Adam (Adam Levine) by singing the Melissa Etheridge song, 'I'm the Only One':
"She did sing that well; hate her look though…Greasy and sleeveless is always bad. And she's trying to be pinup girly with the red lipstick. It's too much, too many elements."
Jackie on return contestant, 17-year-old Garret Gardner, who finds the second time to be the charm with his take of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain':
"I had a lip ring, but I took it out for a reason. The music is a remix of the 70s."
Jackie on the judges: "Adam Levine just flirts with Shakira the whole time."
Once Gardner is picked for a team: "Good for him, but I think the Brazilian guy is better than him."
As Holly Tucker, a 19-year-old saxophone player with the Baylor University marching band is introduced:
"Uncool – being in a marching band."
On Tucker's father: "He's scary. He has Christmas colors on his vest."
After Taylor sings 'To Make You Feel My Love,': "I have no complaints for her; I have nothing snarky to say."
Taylor opts for Team Blake after all four coaches spin their chairs.
Back to the coaches: "Adam Levine just wants to [be with] Shakira so badly."
And revisiting the family: "I want to see more of the father. They have to place what horror movie I've seen him in before."
On Landon Medvec, a professional mover from Rosemont, Minn., who says he is pinning his hopes on his performance to stop lifting furniture for a living:
"That's the worst sob story I every heard, everybody should have a backup plan."
After a scene of Medvec's family: "I love the gangly little brother."
Jackie on Michelle Chamuel, now on Team Usher, after singing 'I Kissed a Girl.'
"I want to her to put contacts in and pull her hair off her face and then she'd be pretty. And she should lose the awkward sarcastic-ness."
Random Jackie comment: "I'm surprised they don't give them help with makeup. Looking good on TV, it's tough. Look at how good they (the judges) look. Adam Levine, Usher, they are wearing tons of make up."
"Usher is the coolest out of all the judges."
Back to Chamuel, as she is being congratulated by her family: "Oh, the father is as awkward as she is! They are so cute!"
Jackie on the characterization of Chamuel by the announcer as an 'introverted indie rocker': "How much does that suck?"
On videotape of previous singing career by Nashville resident Julie Roberts:
"Look at how much thinner she was."
"I hope she fails."
"Those are clearly hair extensions."
"I don't like her voice at all."
"I hate her dress. That slit right down the shoulder always makes you look fat. The balloon top and the tight bottom always says, 'I'm fat and I'm hiding it, but I still have great legs.' It's a look and I don't like it."
General Jackie comment: "I don't want to hate on 'The Voice, They're giving people a chance. I'm way too aware of the target audience, and worried I am part of it."
On Florida college student Monique Abbadie, who sang the Shakira song 'Loca' and won a spot on Team Shakira:
"That's cute. I like her."
Jackie on firefighter and single dad Warren Stone:
"He's not as cute as I thought he'd be."
"He has a fake tan… Maybe it's a real tan."
A moment later: "I hope he does well."
As Stone sings: "Oh I like him, he's my favorite."
'The sob stories are too much. The judges are so controlled, but the families are so gangly and cute."
As the divorced firefighter and single dad hugs his young son and daughter, Jackie proclaims: "This is the best part of the show."

Shall I purchase a Nikon D700
I currently own a Nikon D300 with the following lenses:
1) AF-S Nikkor 12-24 mm 1:4G ED DX
2) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED DX
3) AF Nikkor 70 -300 mm 1:4-5.6 D
4) AF-S MICRO Nikkor 105 mm 1:2.8G ED VR N
Most of my photography is landscape photography and I keep reading that it is best to have a full frame camera.
Ideally, I would like to buy a Nikon D800 but at the present time I cannot afford it. I see that I can purchase a used D700 body around $1200.
My question is: Am I going to get much better pictures with a D700 and the lenses I have? Is it going to be worthed the $1200?
Any input is appreciated.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
#1. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 0
The advantage of the full frame cameras over the D300 is better high ISO noise performance. If you are a landscape photographer you probably don't use high ISO's very much. So in that respect no advantage to the D700.
Now to your lenses. The wide angle lenses you have now are DX lenses. They will give you the same angle of view on both cameras. But here the D700 will need to be in DX crop mode and the view through the viewfinder will be smaller. Also in DX crop mode the resolution will be greater with the D300.
The telephoto zoom will work fine with both bodies but you'll be able to enlarge the photo from the D300 more because of the 1.5X crop factor.
The macro will be fine with both bodies.
Unless you shoot at higher ISO settings and get FX lenses I would say there is no advantage to getting the D700.

#2. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 0
With your present lenses it does make no sens to acquire an FX camera, since only #3 and #4 are FX lenses, I suggest you sell #1 and #2 and get a mid range FX zoom lens and then buy a used D700.
Regarding "getting better pictures", I don't believe that changing to an FX system will have much of an effect.

Hi Jorge,
Welcome to Nikonians!
As stated above, unless you will be shooting at high ISO settings you won't see much difference between an image captured with your D300 and one captured with a D700 other than the angle of view (assuming you use the same focal length lens).
If you plan on transitioning from DX to FX, I would recommend adding quality FX Glass to your kit before adding a body unless your budget allows you to do both at the same time.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,
#5. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 0
The D700 and D800 are both great cameras, but so is the D300. There are certainly some specific attributes that one may want with those cameras, but there's really no guarantee for much better pictures. Too much depends on you, the user.
Is there something about your results now that you're not happy with now? If so, try to isolate what it is and what feature of a new camera will help you overcome it, and make sure it's not just something you can improve with your own efforts. There ARE reasons to upgrade, but you'll make a much better decision if you know why and when you should. I've seen countless outstanding landscape shots from DX format cameras. Generally speaking, that should not be a factor.
Now, if you want to crop a lot, that IS a factor and supports the extra mps of the D800. What about shooting in low light and using high ISOs? It's the reason why I upgraded from the D200 to the D700.
Of course, if you just want a new camera, well, that's okay too!
#6. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 5
buy some great glass first...
I'm in love with my 14-24mm 2.8 , 24-70mm 2.8 Nikkor as well as my 70-200 2.8 Sigma....all FX lenses.
I used them on my D7K prior to going to a D700....
If budget is the issue (like all of us)....go with glass first (FX) then the body...
I just found the ability to shoot wide open for my style is something I enjoy..

I'll add to the chorus. I have a D300s and recently purchased a used D700, but for a specific reason. My D300s is great for landscapes, pictures of the forest, airshows, family photos, auto racing, you name it. But wildlife shots of animals in dim light (when they really like to come out), demands good ISO performance. My D300s didn't meet up to the challenge and most of the pictures I took of deer at twilight last year are either dim or grainy or both. So I'm using a D700 this year. But my D300s is still an excellent camera, and will go to the track and the airshow and shoot pictures of family and friends because it's great for that sort of thing.

#9. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 0
I'm going out on a limb with a bit different kind of suggestion. You do mention landscapes, but you don't mention a tripod. If you don't have one or are used to using one, you might try adding a quality tripod to your kit. A good/versatile one with a quality head and quick change plates can easily set you back 1-1.5K dollars.
I have a nice tripod system and it is in valuable in my photography. However, I also travel a great deal and it's often just not practical to tote a tripod about.
For my landscape photos, especially where I'm not using a tripod, I find the 16-35mm f/4 AFS VR Nikkor very useful. I use it on both DX and FX cameras. If you are possibly heading toward FX, that would be another "vote" for such a lens. The VR capabilities of this lens adds greatly to its utility including extemporaneous landscape images.
This lens does overlap considerably your DX lenses but it adds VR to your mix. I find that very useful for travel, walkabout and general WA photography.
At this time, with your current lenses, I would not get a D700. Your lens lineup just doesn't warrant that choice IMO. BTW: I'll be keeping my D700 as my primary camera for a long time, however my lenses are completely FX. I do have the 17-55mm f/2.8 AFS DX lens that I use on my DX D2Hs and it is a stellar optic. It's also a large lens and one of the reasons that I often use a tripod with my landscape images.
Another side note: if you are using a tripod, you won't find the VR feature that useful.
Best Regards,
It's still, ISO, aperture and shutter-speed, right?

#10. "RE: Shall I purchase a Nikon D700" | In response to Reply # 0
Everyone here mentions ISO and that's certainly a great benefit of the D700. The other is dynamic range. The dynamic range of the D700 and the D3/D3s is incredible. Folks aren't going to full-frame just for the ISO... You'll do just fine with the D300. It's a fantastic camera.
I had one for years and upgraded to the D300s and loved it too. When I finally started using a D700, the difference was obvious in the raw files. Now I just wish I'd have switched over earlier.
Now, I'm going through the same process due to the release of the D800e... Dooh.

I have been shooting with a d5100, 35 1.8 and 18 200 dx, learned with this set up and was quite happy, for awhile.
I shoot bands in low light bars alot and can not always use flash.
just bought a d700 with a 24 70 2.8 here and I am thrilled with the ability to get the shot in low light...difference is "night and day"...I am looking for a used 70-200 2.8 next and OK would like a 85 1.8 also. I have my first wedding comming up in May...I am very excited about it...still learning my d700...got the NikonianPrss book Mastering the Nikon d700...have been reading till my eyes get blurry...

With the banks, taxpayers carried the can for shocking mistakes, exacerbated by lax monetary policy. Giant firms were allowed to indulge in uncompetitive practices. Cheap money also had the effect of artificially rebalancing wealth: savers lost and borrowers gained, with property owners able to bank windfall rewards."

Now that you've loaded my Best Workflow CS5 color settings or created your own, those of you who own one of the many versions of the Creative Suite can go ahead and load these color settings across all the Creative Suite applications. However, you have to own the Creative Suite for this exercise to work. If you own Photoshop by itself, then this exercise is not applicable. You can go ahead and skip it and begin work on chapter 1. Let me briefly explain what I mean. I'm going to go and switch to this browser and I'm looking at the Adobe website.
We can see that there are quite a few different variations of Creative Suite 5. There is Design Standard and Design Premium, there is Web Standards and Web Premium, there is the Production version and there is the Master Collection. So you have to own one of those many versions of the Creative Suite for this movie to work. Again, if own Photoshop by itself than you can end up getting an error message in which case this exercise is not necessary for you. So I'm going to switch back to Photoshop here, and then I'll go up to the upper left corner of the interface and you'll see this orange bridge icon.
I want you to go ahead and click on Launch Bridge in order to switch to the bridge. Now if it wasn't already running as it was for me, it might take a few moments to launch. Then once you see the bridge application, which allows you to preview images and other assets. I happen to have the bridge trained on the contents of the 00_setup folder, but that doesn't matter for purposes of this exercise. Next what you'll do is you'll go to the Edit menu and choose the Creative Suite Color Settings command. Now no matter what, you'll be able to see this command.
That's what's so misleading about this feature. However, there is a chance that the command won't work. So if you choose Creative Suite Color Settings and you get an error message that means, either you only own Photoshop, so you purchased Photoshop independently or for some reason the Bridge thinks you only own Photoshop. It doesn't think you own the entire Creative Suite, which may require that you reinstall the software. I hate to be bearer of bad news, but that's the way it works. The good news is most of you should have no problems. So if you own one of those versions of the Creative Suite, you should be able to choose this command and then bring up this Suite Color Settings dialog box.
Now by default you'll see North America General Purpose 2 selected. At least that's what you see here in the States. Hopefully, you'll see my new Best Workflow CS5 option available to you. Go ahead and click on it in order to select it. If you don't see that option, then turn on this checkbox called Show Expanded List of Color Settings File. Go ahead and turn that on and you will see an expanded list of options available to you. Somewhere in that list you should see Best Workflow CS5. Once you see it, click on it to make it active and then click on the Apply button and that's all there is to it.
Now you synchronize your color settings across Photoshop, Illustrator, and all the other Creative Suite applications. That's all there is to it. Now you and I are on the same page and you can begin work on chapter 1.

Wouldn't you enable spamassassin in the system wide procmailrc?
Also, as long as you have a .procmailrc I think that takes precedence.
Man procmailrc procmailex and review /usr/doc/procmail../procmailrc
examples and the /usr/doc for spamassassin site wide implementation.

Mistakes When Filing Income Taxes
Nowadays, with the aid of tax preparation software, it is easier to file annual tax returns. However, with just a single slip in putting in your information on your computer could end up costing you, either in the form of a larger tax bill or a smaller refund. Additionally, even when the mistake, either on your PC or paper forms, did not cost you any money, it could delay the receipt of any refund you're expecting.
Another thing that you need to remember, is that changes in your taxes can also complicate the annual tax-filing exercise. For example, in the reporting and filing of requirements prompted by the Affordable Care Act have produced a numerous problems for taxpayers, tax professionals, as well as, the IRS. Whether are there are special taxes applied in the current year, there are still plenty of ways to mess up a 1040 form.
Incorrect Math Calculations
Every year, the most common error that occurs on tax returns are incorrect math. Any errors in arithmetic or in moving figures from one schedule to another will get you an instant correction sign. Be warned, even the most simple math mistakes also can lessen your tax refund or result in you owing more taxes than you thought. Your first and foremost job is to get all the numbers right because the IRS will be double-checking numerical entries against its copies of your tax statements (W-2, 1099s and the like).
One common math error that can occur are computation errors, during this event taxpayers or their accountants make mistakes in figuring such tax-return entries as taxable income, withholding and estimated tax payments. Also, credits and special deductions also pose problems.
Incorrect Names
One thing you need to remember, the IRS is not just all about numbers, but words too, especially correct names. Whenever the names of a taxpayer, his or her spouse or their kids don't match with the tax identification number that the Social Security Administration has on record it may start different problems with the processing. This issue often is a problem for new wives. That is why it is crucial that you should announce to the Social Security Administration as soon as she can when she got married and will be changing surnames.
Added Income Means Added Filing Work
If ever you have additional jobs, for example, as a contractor you will most likely receive a Form 1099-MISC detailing the extra earnings. Never miss on declaring these important details or the IRS will count this against your owed taxes. There are many other tax problems that you will bump into, it is crucial that you know how to amend them to avoid problems.

SACRAMENTO -- After all the tens of millions of dollars that Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has spent to build her brand as a corporate CEO ready to take on California's myriad crises, the story told by an undocumented maid from the East Bay may prove to be her undoing.
Nicandra Diaz Santillan, of Union City, who for nine years cleaned Whitman's toilets and washed her family's laundry, has almost single-handedly rewritten the narrative of the governor's race in a way that Democratic candidate Jerry Brown couldn't have dreamed up.
The dramatic shift in the campaign's arc came last week when Diaz Santillan described, in a teary televised news conference, what she said was her last conversation with Whitman after being fired in June 2009. Whitman, she said, made her feel like she was being thrown away "like a piece of garbage" after the billionaire ex-CEO of eBay, an Atherton resident, refused to help her resolve her status as an illegal immigrant.
It's a story that has captivated Latino communities, and could ultimately crush Whitman's hopes of winning support from Latino voters -- which she has said is crucial to being elected -- despite the tens of millions of dollars she's spent on Spanish-language political advertisements wooing them with hopeful messages that "jobs are on the way."
"This is the problem Whitman confronts," said Bill Whalen, a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution and former speechwriter for ex-Gov. Pete Wilson. "No matter how much she increases her ad buys and tries to undo the damage, she has to cope with the image of a woman crying. She has reinforced the stereotype that Republicans and rich people care not for Latinos."
Brown has moved ahead of Whitman in several polls taken since the controversy -- dubbed by some as Nickygate -- erupted. He had a 7 percentage point lead over Whitman in a Reuters-Ipsos poll, 50 percent to 43 percent, and leads of 4 and 5 points, respectively, in Rasmussen and Survey USA automated polls. An online survey on the website of La Opinion, the state's largest Spanish-language newspaper, showed that three-fourths of readers agreed that the housekeeper issue would take Latino votes away from Whitman.
La Opinion, tapping into the wide interest of the story, examined the plight of undocumented domestic workers in a cover story Thursday, headlined, "There Are More Nickys in the Country."
"I'm sure Meg Whitman never imagined that this one human being could possibly bring her down," said Beatriz Manz, a Chicano Studies professor at UC Berkeley. "It is highly unusual that someone so completely powerless -- you cannot be more powerless than an undocumented maid -- could have such an impact on a campaign with a billionaire who has spent millions of her own."
Even for non-Latino voters, especially undecided voters who often choose their candidate based on character traits, Whitman's alleged treatment of her former maid will be a critical cue to how they'll size her up, said Jason McDaniel, a political-science professor at San Francisco State.
"This is probably the first thing that's broken through the din and it will affect their opinion of Meg Whitman," McDaniel said. "If voters don't know much about a candidate, they look to character to fill the gap."
Much has been made about the question of whether Whitman knew Diaz Santillan was an undocumented worker, largely because Whitman has put so much energy into trying to prove she didn't know until June 2009, when Diaz Santillan said she told Whitman.
Yet it was the conversation that Diaz Santillan said took place after her firing that has taken hold in the Latino community, experts say.
Diaz Santillan, in her memorable first news conference last week, described, through tears, how Whitman treated her when she asked for help in solving her status as an illegal immigrant.
Whitman had just fired her and told her their relationship was over. She was ramping up her gubernatorial campaign and apparently did not want it to be known that she'd employed Diaz Santillan for the previous nine years.
Diaz Santillan said that Whitman told her, "I cannot help you ... and from now on you don't know me, and I don't know you. You have never seen me, and I have never seen you. Do you understand me?"
That reported exchange hit home with many Latinos because it captured the disparity that they know exists between illegal immigrants who work in the shadows and their mostly wealthy employers, said Cristina Herrera, a Chicano Studies professor at Fresno State.
"In the eyes of many Latinos, Meg Whitman threw her out in the street," Herrera said. "That's not going to sit well with many of them. Here's someone who wants the Latino vote, yet was unwilling to help her employee. People are saying if she's unwilling to help her employee, how is she interested in helping others of Nicky Diaz's stature?"
Republicans have tried to shift the focus from Diaz Santillan to her attorney, the celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, calling the entire episode dirty politics cooked up by Brown, who has denied having any contact with Allred or Diaz Santillan.
Whitman has insisted she believes Diaz Santillan is being manipulated and pointedly blamed Brown for orchestrating the entire affair, telling him during their second debate last Saturday, "you should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz at the altar of your political ambitions."
But two days later, Diaz Santillan fired back, saying she knew what risks she was taking in exposing her status as an illegal immigrant.
"I'm not anyone's puppet," Diaz Santillan said during a televised conference held in Allred's office. "I want to be heard. I want the people who clean houses and do the jobs that others don't want to to be treated with respect and dignity."
Whitman's supporters have expressed outrage that Diaz Santillan read her comments from a prepared text, saying it proved she was being manipulated by Democratic Party forces hoping to undermine Whitman.
But for many Latinos, Diaz Santillan's story is the lament of workers who live in fear of having their livelihood pulled out from beneath them, said David Montejano, an ethnic studies professor at UC Berkeley.
"She spoke truth to power," Montejano said. "A lot of us feel she pierced that veil of frustration."

Citation: Ahuja, L.R., Reddy, V., Saseendran, S.A., Yu, Q. 2009. Responses of Crops to Limited Water: Understanding and Modeling Water Stress Effects on Plant Growth Processes. Complete Book. Madison, Wisconsin. American Society of Agronomy, Inc., Crop Soil Science Society of America, Inc., Soil Science Society of America, Inc. 436 p. Technical Abstract: The semi-arid regions of western U.S., India, China, and other parts of the world produce a major portion of the world's food and fiber needs—from staple food grains of wheat, rice, and corn, to vegetables, fruits, nuts, wine, cotton, and forage crops for cattle and poultry. Most of this production in the semi-arid lands is achieved with irrigation. Over all agricultural land in the world, irrigation is practiced on about 20% of the area, but accounts for about 40% of the production. Many populous regions of the world such as south and east Asia are dependent on irrigation to meet food requirements. However, due to increase in population, urbanization, and environmental consciousness, the water demands for drinking, sanitation, urban irrigation, industry, and environmental uses are outbidding and reducing the water available for agriculture. Shrinkage of groundwater resources, such as the depletion of aquifers in India, China, and U.S., and the prolonged drought in the last few years have aggravated the situation. Greater frequency of more severe droughts predicted by some global climate change models are a cause for great concern. In addition, the global warming appears to be increasing the water requirements (evapo-transpiration demand) of plants. So, the questions for the western U.S. and all semi-arid regions of the world are: 1) how can the irrigated agriculture sustain productivity and meet the nation's growing need for food and fiber with reduced water available for irrigation; and 2) what research knowledge and technologies are needed to accomplish this sustainability. The answers lie, along with other supporting measures, in simultaneously achieving: (1) the conservation of both rain and irrigation water in the field by managing to cut losses by runoff, deep percolation, and evaporation; (2) preserving the quality of groundwater and soil by preventing salinity development and nitrate and pesticide pollution; and (3) increasing the water use efficiency of crops by optimizing irrigation with respect to rainfall, critical growth stages, soil fertility, & weather conditions; optimize allocation of limited water among crops; optimal selection of crops by regions and selecting alternate crops in drought years. These goals will require a whole-system quantitative approach to guide management and achieve optimization of water application and crop performance, while protecting water quality and the environment. The computer models of agricultural systems are the essential technology needed for this purpose. The system modeling technology will also help conserve and make the most use of rainwater in rain-fed agricultural areas, including water-limited cropping or forage-livestock systems at field and farm levels. These areas comprise about 60% of the agriculture in the world. Prolonged drought in the last few years has especially aggravated the situation in these dry-land areas. The farmers and ranchers need simple tools to manage the systems during droughts. These tools can be derived from system models. Experience of the initiators of this volume has shown that all key current models of agricultural systems, although adequate for some purposes, need further improvement in the area of simulating the response of crops to limited water under various management and application options required for the above-noted applications (Ma et al., 2002). For this purpose, we hosted the 36th annual conference of the Biological Systems Simulation Group here in Fort Collins, CO, April 11-13, 2006, and organized a 1-day special session on "Recent advances in understanding and modeling of water stress (water deficit) effects on plant growth processes". We invited and were fortunate in having the world's experts in various aspects of this topic for this session (see Table of Contents). The speakers briefly provided the current state of science but emphasized more recent knowledge of the stress effects on processes that can be utilized to improve our models for crop responses to limited water applied at different growth stages. Purpose of this book then is to document this highly valuable knowledge so it can be used to improve the models. As much as possible and appropriate, a CD of all the submodels or models used in the Volume is provided with the Volume. The book will be indispensable for scientists, researchers, modelers, and students working in the crop production under limited water. The state of the science syntheses given in the papers will be highly useful for especially graduate level teaching. The new models or component codes will be valuable for graduate level teaching, research, and training of student in the use of models. All the papers in this Volume have been reviewed by two or more independent reviewers and by the editors for originality and quality, just as the journal papers. We assured that even the review papers made original contributions to synthesis of knowledge and/or development of new or improved concepts.

Constitutional Law: A state ban on independent political expenditures from corporate general treasuries unduly burdens First Amendment rights.Petitioner sued Respondent, the Attorney General of Montana, challenging a Montana campaign finance law that prohibited independent political expenditures made from corporate general treasuries. The Montana Supreme Court upheld the law against challenge and distinguished the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC, holding that Montana campaign finance regulations were "less onerous" than the federal regulations the US Supreme Court held unduly burdened the First Amendment rights of Citizens United.
The Supreme Court reversed per curiam, holding that there is no distinction and Citizens United controls.

A Quote by Gerontissa Makrina on god, spirituality, christianity, forgiveness, healing, love, psychology, peace, and truth
Continually forgive others. Forgive AT ONCE, not one second latter, not one half second later, because if you hesitate to forgive, jealousy comes in the door, then hatred and envy. Forgive instantly as Christ forgives instantly.

Photos: Algerian Hostage Survivors, Victims Return to Japan
A government plane carrying seven survivors and the bodies of the nine killed during the Algerian hostage crisis landed in Japan early Friday morning, more than a week after what may be the worst incident of terror to involve Japanese citizens in years.
After the plane touched down shortly before 7 a.m. Tokyo time, television footage showed the survivors being quickly taken away in vans covered by black umbrellas to shield their faces. At the airport, government officials, including Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, placed white flowers on the coffins and observed a moment of silence.
"We lost very talented staff. It's extremely heartbreaking," Koichi Kawana, president of Japanese engineering firm JGC, said, choking up at times during a news conference held after he returned to Japan on the plane with the victims.
All of the Japanese hostages were employees of the Yokohama-based firm.
The four-day siege of the natural-gas plant by Islamist militants left a total of 37 foreigners dead. Japanese were the biggest group of foreigners confirmed dead so far.
On Friday, the Japanese government disclosed the names of the ten Japanese killed. The body of the last Japanese citizen who was confirmed dead on Thursday is expected to return on Saturday.
JGC's news conference was broadcast live on all the major TV channels as the country continues to grapple both with the grief and the shock of getting caught up in a the attack.
"We firmly condemn this terrorist act and are determined to work closely with the international community to combat terrorism," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said.
In a sign of continuing strong interest in the incident, footage showed flocks of reporters not only at the airport and JGC headquarters, but also at the hotel where the survivors were apparently taken to.
For JGC, which derives about 80% of its revenue from outside Japan, the deadly hostage crisis has also exposed the risks of its projects in developing and sometimes unstable regions of the world.
"Everyone involved in JGC's overseas plant projects have a sense of pride that they are doing an important job that contributes to the economic development of the country [they're working in]," Mr. Kawana said.
"With this incident, we're confronted with the challenge of how we can sustain our engineering business while ensuring safety," he added.

PARKERSBURG - Brush fires erupted in Wood County Wednesday afternoon.
An illegal burn occurred along with a small fire extinguished before firefighters arrived, officials said.
A fire in Mineral Wells around 3 p.m. off Society Hill Road near a trailer park had officials worried at first, but Chief Jay Parsons with the Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department said the fire was minor.
"It was nothing; it was out when we got there," Parsons said of the fire he described as about 10 feet by 10 feet.
Vienna Volunteer Fire Department fought a small brush fire behind the 1400 block of Grand Central Avenue near the Ohio River around 3 p.m. Wednesday. The illegal burn got out of control, but the situation was only temporary, officials said. No citations were issued.
Officials said with spring cleaning approaching, residents should be prepared for legal burns.
Fact Box
In Addition
* Residents wanting to burn outside of the scheduled burning times need to contact Kathy Woollard at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department on 28th Street at 304-295-5652 to file a permit.
* Submitted permits must be approved by Vienna Fire Chief Steve Scholl.
Capt. Tim Flinn with the Parkersburg Fire Department said the dry, windy conditions probably contributed to a few brush fires becoming out of control. Residents burning legally outdoors should be cautious of the size of brush piles they burn, he said.
A fire extinguisher or reliable water source like a hose should be close by to be used if needed, Flinn said.
The outdoor burning season for Parkersburg residents began March 1 and lasts through May 31, fire officials said. Residents wanting to burn debris must obtain permits, advise the fire department and conduct the fire from noon to 5 p.m.
Controlled burning in Vienna is on the first Friday and first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; permits are not required.

Roger defeated in five sets
Roger was defeated a thrilling final in Wimbledon today. He lost 7-6(7), 4-6, 6-7(4), 7-5, 4-6 against Novak Djokovic.
"You know going into a match with Novak, it's always going to be tough. It had everything for fans to like, the swing of momentum in the first set, him coming back in the second and third, all the back and forth in the fourth set and all the dramas in the fifth," Roger said.
It was an incredible match with plenty of dramatic moments and extended rallies. There was just one single service break in the first three sets, before a breathtaking phase started in the fourth. Roger fell behind 2-5 in the fourth and saved a match point at 3-5, to go on to force a fifth set. In the decider, play stayed intense and unfortunately it was Roger who dropped his serve at 4-5 to admit the defeat.
Halle p. 11
SHATIR: You're desperately and disingenuously putting false words in my mouth to make it appear you are right. Prove your fiction: 'you seemed to indicate something along the lines of "when Roger loses warm ups, he wins slams. when he wins warm ups, he loses slams." ' Where did I say it like the way you twisted it?
You're using false logic like "In the last 19 slams, Roger has won 2. Has he won all of the warm ups for the slams he DIDN'T win (17)? No."
Halle p. 11
"spewing fluff"
As owners of sheep and dam, we don't SPEW fluff per se. We shear them.
Good luck with the WC, Tonyn, hope you've been doing this awhile now.
Halle p. 11
SHATIR and BOTING: You should give your sheep and dam to each other... then hold hands and meditate on why you are each other's rivals when it comes to spewing fluff.
I have to get back to the World Cup. Since Day 2, I've been leading a pool based on correct predictions for results win/draw/loss and correct scores... and I don't need your sheep&dam karma upsetting my momentum. Almost $3,000 at stake.
Halle p. 11
SHATIR, please enlighten us why you try so hard to show you're 'smart'.... given your fluff and bad logic are completely irrelevant to my point. lol
My point was for posters assuming Roger can win Wimbledon simply because he won Halle. The stats don't support this: in past 26 slams since 2007 US Open (6.5 years): Roger won only 1 slam after winning warm up event (2009 FO after 2009 Madrid). In past 20 slams since 2009 FO: Roger failed to win a slam after w
Halle p. 12
"Roger failed to win Slam after winning warm-up event"
The statistic is correct but not your underlying theory. In the last 19 slams, Roger has won 2. Has he won all of the warm ups for the slams he DIDN'T win (17)? No.
Clearly his inability to do his best at the slams stands on its own. So where is your pattern?
I'm not speaking on behalf of Boting, but please enlighten us how you're a "high performing" individual and a "smart business think
Halle p. 13
why dont you put on a tape ???? each time the same complaints !!
give it a life Federer is going his own way saying IT IS WHAT IT IS .....
Halle p. 13
BOTING, why do you keep taking off the tape I put on you?
Each time -- then, now and future -- you spew the same twaddle.
From 2011 USO to 2012 Cincinnati, Federer did not go down the way you repetitively predicted -- so I was right then, and you were dead wrong, bro.
To understand what Federer has done and will likely do, you need to be a high performer and smart business thinker (which you're obviously not).... sorry bro, just saying IT IS WHAT IT IS....
When you do finally retire, please teach a seminar on how to live daily life in a positive manner, and how to your goals. I will be the first student, as I am a lifelong learner.
The documentation of who originated the repeated verbal abuse is on almost every page of this article, and many pages in the archives also, and it is NOT me or FancyFree or any of the other posters who have disagreed with you.
Go in peace and leave me alone.
Love and support, L

Sarah is forced to the edge of sanity by the ghosts of her family's past. Suffering from violent and bloody hallucinations, she seeks the help of psychiatrist and friend, Michael Brink.
After being sent to an institution in a catatonic state covered in blood–from stabbing her unfaithful boyfriend–Sarah is forced to confront the truth about her father's death and the demon, Jack, who caused her father's suicide and who is now the reason for her horrific hallucinations. Unlike her father, Sarah refuses to kill herself. She bargains for her life and succeeds.
In Sarah's struggle to regain her life and her sanity, she discovers there is more to the world than she could ever have imagined, and it leaves her seeking the answer to the nagging question, "Who is really mad?"
And here's an excerpt for you to enjoy:
The lights from the Seven Eleven reflected in puddles of murky rainwater. At eleven o'clock at night, the parking area was deserted. Kevin stepped inside the store in search of something to eat while I waited in the car for him.
My father's funeral had been that morning, and Kevin thought a night out would be the best way to take my mind off how he'd died. It hadn't helped. All I could think about was that I hadn't been able to say good-bye or tell him that I loved him. I couldn't even get drunk and forget about it, I couldn't pretend that I was okay and put on a happy face for the sake of Kevin and his friends. As a result we cut the night short, which irritated Kevin's friends and I was once again the party pooper.
Kevin had been gone for what seemed like a few seconds when everything that I knew and trusted in my life changed forever.
I was rudely distracted from my reverie by an annoying tapping on my window. I was about to hurl off a few choice words at the offending party, until I saw his face. My stomach churned, and my self-pity party transformed into a Stephen King novel.
Yellow eyes stared back at me. Sharp, pointed teeth, filed into fangs, snarled. He shook my door handle. My heart rate jumped sky high. He was gone as fast as he'd appeared.
I took a deep breath and looked around. No sign of him. I took another deep breath and breathed out slowly.
"What the hell was that?" I stammered.
I managed to get my heart rate down, but couldn't quite get the hair on the back of my neck to go back to normal. My skin wouldn't stop crawling. Goose bumps appeared on my skin and the smell of sulphur wafted up my nostrils.
Something scraped the driver's side of the car. I hoped it was Kevin returning with a strong drink: preferably a bottle of tequila. I turned to look and my heart sank. The scary-looking man with fangs was back. Kevin had left the car unlocked. Panic gripped my palpitating heart. Who didn't lock their car in Johannesburg? He shook the door. I leaned over the driver's seat and slammed the lock down. The central locking did its job. Then he was gone again.
"Breathe, just breathe." I repeated it over and over again while I doubled over and put my head between my knees. I squeezed my eyes shut. He was playing games with me and I didn't know the rules. I felt helpless. I wanted to scream, but fear had a strangle hold on my throat, silencing me.
Tap tap.
I plugged my ears with my fingers. It wasn't happening.
Tap tap.
Turning my head to the left, I opened one eye.
Glass shattered.
I screamed.
He pulled my hair.
"Oh, god. Oh, god," I moaned. I was about to be raped and murdered while I waited for Kevin to come out of the Seven Eleven.
"Babe, are you okay?" Kevin sat in the driver's seat next to me, with a worried expression on his face. "You were groaning."
I looked around in shock. There was no sign of broken glass anywhere. All the windows were intact.
"Are you alright?" Kevin asked again.
"I'm fine."
"You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I'm fine." I wasn't sure if what I'd seen had been real or imagined, but Kevin obviously wasn't going to let it go. Not sure what to tell him, I decided to tell him a version of the truth.
"Some drunk guy was messing around with me and gave me a bit of a fright. That's all." I didn't want Kevin to think I'd inherited my father's mental problems. According to my sister, my father had been rather irrational before his death. I thought it was more along the lines of being completely loony tunes. I was relieved that I hadn't been around to see him like that. At least I remembered him the way he was before our estrangement.
"Maybe we should call the cops or something?"
"What for?"
"I don't know. Maybe to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly, or something."
"Oh please. Like the cops are really going to give a damn about some guy banging on a girl's window and giving her a fright. They've got bigger fish to fry." I wanted to get out of there; the thought of hanging out in the parking lot a few hours for the cops to show up didn't appeal to me in the slightest.
"This is true."
"Besides I just want to go home and forget about everything." I breathed out and took another deep breath. "I just want to curl up in your arms."
"Now that's a very good idea."
"I thought you might think so."
I let go of the breath I was holding, once I saw the deserted shopping complex slide by in the side view mirror. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. Rain started drizzling down as we drove away. Neon signs shimmered in the puddles.

The Monte-Carlo Television Festival has been going on, and a number of actors from Game of Thrones were present: Sean Bean (Eddard Stark), Mark Addy (King Robert Baratheon), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen). There's a great picture of the actors together here, posted by Roxanne Centola.

Coster-Waldau (whom we've interviewed) has a very amusing remark regarding Hodor in "The Pointy End (see our interview with actor Kristian Nairn—where he hinted at that scene—here) and also appears to give first confirmation of the fact that he's scheduled to appear at San Diego Comic Con as part of HBO's promotion of the show.

The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Two male polar bears are in a play fighting while they wait for the Hudson bay to freeze after a long hibernation. Once the bay is frozen they will disappear from the land in search of their food-seals. This was taken at the "polar bear capital of the world" (Churchill, MB).
