Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Time and Frequency from A to Z: D to Do
A number or series of numbers used to identify a given day with the least possible ambiguity. The date is usually expressed as the month, day of month, and year. However, integer numbers such as the Julian Date are also used to express the date.
Daylight Saving Time
The part of the year when clocks are advanced by one hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. In 2007, the rules for Daylight Saving Time (DST) have changed for the first time since 1986. The new changes were enacted by the The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the length of DST by about one month in the interest of reducing energy consumption. DST will now be in effect for 238 days, or about 65% of the year, although Congress retained the right to revert to the prior law should the change prove unpopular or if energy savings are not significant. Under the current rules, DST in the U.S. begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November.
Daylight Saving Time is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the state of Arizona (not including the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe).
Daytime Protocol
A time code protocol used to distribute time over the Internet. The daytime protocol is described in the RFC-867 document, and is implemented by the NIST Internet Time Service.
Dead Time
The time that elapses between the end of one measurement and the start of the next measurement. This time interval is generally called dead time only if information is lost. For example, when making measurements with a time interval counter, the minimum amount of dead time is the elapsed time from when a stop pulse is received to the arrival of the next start pulse. If a counter is fast enough to measure every pulse (if it can sample at a rate of 1 kHz, for instance, and the input signals are at 100 Hz), we can say there is no dead time between measurements.
Disciplined Oscillator (DO)
An oscillator whose output frequency is continuously steered (often through the use of a phase locked loop) to agree with an external reference. For example, a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO) usually consists of a quartz or rubidium oscillator whose output frequency is continuously steered to agree with signals broadcast by the GPS satellites.
Doppler Shift
The apparent change of frequency caused by the motion of the frequency source (transmitter) relative to the destination (receiver). If the distance between the transmitter and receiver is increasing the frequency apparently decreases. If the distance between the transmitter and receiver is decreasing, the frequency apparently increases. To illustrate this, listen to the sound of a train whistle as a train comes closer to you (the pitch gets higher), or as it moves further away (the pitch gets lower). As you do so, keep in mind that the frequency of the sound produced at the source has not changed.

Anyone can 'Google' this- EMPLOYERS- WORK OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT (WOTC), and read more about it at the related websites.
It's just another example of how the publicly held corporations in this country are taking advantage of honest Americans and the unfair tax system in the USA in order to generate profits, in my opinion.
Make sure to send a copy of your Ripoff Report to your Attorney General along with your contact information. You can 'Google' this- LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL, and all of the information is available on the web.

Employers are trying to make money using applicants personal info. Why should they even apply for the credit if they really intend to hire you. Your yearly pay would completely negate any tax savings. Get a $9600. tax credit but your pay comes to $12,000.-no money made or saved.

Hey, They're Flexible
They've been around for quite a long time, but all of a sudden flexible pouches are more popular than ever when it comes to alcoholic brands looking to connect with consumers.
Much of the attraction for these brands is the portability of the packaging format, allowing consumers to easily take their drinks with them to the beach or on the boat. The result is, for certain kinds of alcoholic beverages, especially drinks that can be served frozen, like margaritas, the pouch has quickly become a packaging format marketers can't afford not to be playing in.
Craig Cordes, co-founder and CFO for the New Orleans-based Big Easy Blends, first introduced his product Cordina, a line of cocktails including margaritas and daiquiris, in the pouch back in 2009, one of the first alcoholic beverage brands to do so. Since then, he says, the shelves have become crowded with other brands in pouches that are making it an extra challenge to get his brand noticed. "When we first started the company we were 23 years old and we had this crazy idea while sitting on a beach to have frozen margaritas accessible anywhere, especially where glass is prohibited," says Cordes. "So we thought hey, let's try to make this come to life and put margaritas in a pouch. It was very tough at first. Distributors laughed at us. Consumers were very iffy on the quality of the product in a pouch. The packaging actually kind of discounted it because everybody was so used to drinking out of a can or a glass bottle."
But by 2012, says Cordes, "everybody and their grandma decided to copy it."
E. David Marinac, President, ABC Packaging Direct, a packaging solutions provider, has watched packaging alcohol and wine in flexible packaging continues to grow in popularity, "despite the major roadblock of established brands in their ubiquitous bottles in all their shapes and sizes. For years alcohol was just too aggressive for any sort of flexible package and within a short period of time would compromise the integrity of the film and even the seals themselves," he explains. "Now, film combinations that include aluminum plus nylon along with a special liner low density polyethylene sealant layer have produced the best results we've ever seen. Let me be clear, this isn't a "thickness" issue as much as it is laminating the right film structures."
Marinac continues, "Finally, the spout and cap manufacturers have also come a long way in creating modified polyethylene fitments to dispense the product as well. We feel this segment of the flexible packaging industry is ripe for growth and innovation in the next year or two."
In the case of Cordina, its innovative re-sealable pouch has won awards for functionality. Consumers can unscrew the top and drink right out of the pouch instead of having to squeeze or pour it into a glass. "Whereas with the other competition out there, once you open the package, you're done," Cordes says.
Neverthless, increasingly squeezed (no pun intended) by a crowded playing field of alcoholic beverages in pouches, Cordina recently underwent a redesign in an attempt to further differentiate itself. The solution was to take advantage and use the power of something the other brands can never imitate or copy, namely, New Orleans itself. The packaging designer, Michael Osborne Design in San Francisco, created a colorful and energetic illustration of the "Big Easy." "There's probably a price ceiling on things you can put in a pouch," points out Dennis Whalen, the design firm's Vice President. "A single barrel of Jack Daniel in a 750 pouch, it's just not going to work. But for grab-and-go quick drinks like this, it's phenomenal."
Concludes Cordes, "Consumers have definitely accepted pouches. Now it's about fending off the competition, and there's lots of it."

The Celtic rock group
Scythian will perform live
Thursday, July 31, 2014, at
Frank O'Dowd's Irish Pub & Grill in Galena, Illinois.
The night will begin with Garrett Hillary opening from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Rousing and raucous, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays kicked-up Celtic and world music with hints of
Gypsy and Klezmer, all infused with a touch of punk-rock sensibility. Take a pair of classically
trained dueling fiddlers, toss in a rhythm guitar and the occasional funky accordion, then power
it with the driving rhythm of a jazz percussionist, and you've got the ingredients for a show you
won't soon forget.

Passwords are everywhere. We need them to access our computers, our email accounts and a ton of other services that we rely on. Unfortunately, passwords are a poor way of authentication. Strong passwords are hard to remember and the sheer number of different services makes it practically impossible to keep track of all of your credentials. Most people try to mitigate this by composing their passwords out of familiar things like names or birthdays, but these can be guessed easily and do not provide sufficient protection. Password reuse, which is also wide-spread, is even more dangerous and makes a lot of people easy targets for hackers. Password managers help you keep track of your passwords by providing a secure storage that is protected by a single master password. Good password managers keep your data safe by encrypting it with a strong cipher like AES.
We believe that software should not only be useful but also simple and fun to use. Padlock is all about simplicity and usability. We deliberately left out features that make other password managers unnecessarily complex and potentially confusing. Padlock focuses only on the most essential functionality. No clutter, no distractions. We also put a high value on transparency and actively encourage inspection and contributions by other developers.
Padlock is now available in the Chrome Web Store and on iOS and Android. If you want to run your own version or simply play around with the source code, the project is available on Github.
You don't have to! Padlock is completely open source and we actively encourage developers to inspect the source code and offer contributions. This not only makes it impossible for us to build in back doors but also helps to identify and eliminate possible security flaws quickly and efficiently.
Padlock Cloud is a service that allows you to synchronize your Padlock data between multiple devices quickly and easily. You can connect to Padlock Cloud through the Padlock app simply by providing your email address. This address will then be used for authentication by sending you a confirmation link every time you want to connect one of your devices to Padlock Cloud. Padlock Cloud keeps an encrypted version of your data on our servers which can then be accessed from any device that has the Padlock app installed. Your data is encrypted and decrypted offline and never leaves your device in plain text. The encryption key used is derived from your master password which is only known by you. This means that we do not have access to your plain text data at any time. Just like Padlock, Padlock Cloud is free and completely open source. You can find the source code here. For more information on how we handle your personal information, please read the Padlock Cloud privacy policy.

Free utility from Panic; losslessly shrinks PDFs by running them through Mac OS Xâs built-in PDF engine.
...is your application larger than necessary because of needless data stored in image resources? What is making your PDFs four times the size they ought to be? More on this shocking discovery at 11!
Being a responsible and forward-thinking developer, youâre probably good and ready for the day Mac OS X supports resolution independence so you use multilayer TIFFs and PDFs instead of flat bitmap images whenever possible.
ShrinkIt is a simple, small, Panic-internal tool (for Mac OS X Snow Leopard) that will automate the process of stripping needless metadata from PDFs by re-saving them using Appleâs PDF processor. We believe this is 100% lossless â" itâs not compressing anything, just removing cruft. Simply drop a bunch of files (not folders) onto it â" such as the contents of your appâs Resources folder â" to have it find the PDFs and do its magic. The original files will be renamed with the prefix â_org_â for safety, but youâll likely want to delete âem. Thatâs it!

Foods that comprise a healthy diet during pregnancy
A well-balanced, micronutrient dense diet is the key to a healthy pregnancy. Ideally, women should start eating this way before conception, but making healthier choices at any time will always help.
A well-balanced diet should contain:
- carbohydrates from whole grain sources and fruits and vegetables;
- protein from beans, nuts, seeds and hormone-free animal products like meat and dairy; and
- healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, and the fats that occur in nuts, seeds, and fish.
Pregnant women need more iron, folic acid, calcium, zinc, iodine, and vitamin D, and higher amounts of most other nutrients, than nonpregnant women. The US Recommended Daily Allowance2 sets the level of nutrient intake that is estimated to meet the nutritional needs of 97.5% of pregnant women. Malnutrition increases the risk of having a low birth weight baby or going into preterm labor. Pregnant women need the following daily:
- 600mcg of folic acid
- of iron
- 1000mg of calcium
- 11mg of zinc
- 220 mcg of iodine
- 600 IU vitamin D
In general, women will get high levels of these nutrients by choosing a diverse, colorful diet that focuses primarily (but not entirely) on plant-based foods.
- For example, healthy breakfast choices could be;
- fresh fruit and unsweetened Greek yogurt (higher in protein and lower in fat that regular yogurt) with herbal tea or oatmeal (steel-cut or low-sugar) with walnuts and a banana, or
- an omelet made with 2 hormone-free eggs, spinach, and tomato.
- Good lunch options are salads with added protein like garbanzo beans smoked salmon, diced chicken) or vegetable-based soups.
- Dinners should have half the plate filled with:
- vegetables,
- a quarter with protein (beans, lentils, lean meat or fish), and
- a quarter with unrefined carbohydrates (brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato).
- Healthy snacks include:
- fruit,
- nuts,
- vegetable juices,
- protein shakes,
- celery, and
- peanut butter, and
- more.
Other important micronutrients during pregnancy are omega-3 fatty acids, DHA specifically, and probiotics. DHA is necessary for healthy development of brain and nervous system and may have beneficial effects on the cognitive development of the child.
Probiotics, when taken by the mother during pregnancy, have been demonstrated to reduce allergy and atopic disease in children 3.

The Mummies of Guanajuato are a number of naturally mummified bodies interred during a cholera outbreak around Guanajuato, Mexico in 1833. The bodies were mummified due to the air and weather in the area.
Due to the ferocity of the epidemic, more cemeteries had to be opened in San Cayetano as well as Cańada de Marfil. Many of the bodies were buried immediately to control the spread of the disease; in some cases, the dying were buried alive by accident. As a result, some of the mummies have horrific expressions attesting to their death in the tombs, though most expressions became fixed postmortem.
The first mummy was put on display in 1965. It was the body of Dr. Remigio Leroy, currently on display at the Guanajuato Mummy Museum. This museum, containing at least 108 corpses, is located above the spot where the mummies were first discovered. Numerous mummies can be seen throughout the exhibition, of varying sizes. This museum is known to have the smallest mummy in the world, a fetus from a pregnant woman who fell victim to the disease, also mummified. Some of the mummies can be seen wearing parts of their clothing from when they were buried. The bodies were removed from the crypt when their family members stopped paying upkeep. However, the law was changed, and bodies are no longer removed from their resting-places for this reason.

In a few carefully selected colours, Miguel Montaner plays with double meanings to convey the ideas in his illustrations. Forms will often take on two roles, dealing out clever little slices of wit. He keeps the rest of his image purely simple, focusing in so that what he has to say can be heard loud and clear. He's great at keeping it concise and we really like how the planning of the concept shines through.

Fort Dodge Public Library
For hundreds of Fort Dodge citizens who labored and advocated for years for a new public library, their vision of a beautiful new library finally happened. Following a successful community fundraising campaign that raised more than $2 million and a triumphant bondreferendum that received overwhelming public support,the dream of a new Fort Dodge Public Library became a reality.
On a cold, snowy morning in January 2001, more than 1,700 people braved Iowa winter conditions to be apart of the much-anticipated grand opening of the new FortDodge Public Library. What they found was beyond anything they had imagined. Their dream of a new and beautiful, handicap accessible, state-accredited facility with state-of-the-art technology, and increased programming had come true.
Located on the historic City Square, the Fort Dodge PublicLibrary with 32,300 square feet of warm, comfortable space,features an automated library catalog, reference electronic databases, children's workstations and computer workstations with Internet access. The library also features group study rooms and a community meeting room with connectivity to the Iowa Communications Network offering video teleconferencing capability. The main collection area includes a magazine reading area with a charming fireplace,comfortable armchairs and a browsing area for new material.
The Children's Department is located on the first floor across from the adult services department. With the newStory Time Room, Vincent House Puppet Theater, Oleson Park Bandshell display and the meeting room, the children's department has become a very popular place, offering expanded programming to serve more children and families. The Sticks Gallery furnishings add a special ambiance to the area.
Also available to library patrons is the Once upon aThyme coffee shop located in the main lobby of the library and the Webster County Genealogical Society and theWebster County Historical Society located on main floor.Numerous individuals and organizations are dedicated to the ongoing support of the library. The W.H. JohnstonFoundation provides charitable financial support for the library to enhance its existing programs and collections.The Friends of the Fort Dodge Public Library provide support through book and magazine sales and their annual membership drive.
The Friends Book Shoppe, located just inside the library, sells books, magazines and puzzles,donated by the public with the proceeds going to support the library. Now recognized as the "living room" of Fort Dodge, the new Fort Dodge Public Library serves as a symbol of FortDodge's progress, its community spirit and its commitment to life-long learning

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
by Thomas Gray
Stanzas 24-25 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 93-100
For thee, who mindful of th' unhonour'd Dead
Dost in these lines their artless tale relate;
If chance, by lonely contemplation led,
Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate,
Haply some hoary-headed swain may say,
"Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn
Brushing with hasty steps the dews away
To meet the sun upon the upland lawn.
- Look, gang, more enjambment! The same sentence continues across a stanza break, so we'll look at both stanzas at once.
- The speaker refers to himself in these lines—he's calling himself "thee."
- (Fun grammar fact: most modern readers think of "thee" and "thou" as an old-fashioned, fancy-pants version of "you." But no! It's not fancy-pants at all!
- "Thee" and "thou" were actually informal or more intimate versions of "you." Like French, Spanish, and many other languages that have two versions of "you," English used to have a formal and an informal way of saying "you." And it makes sense that if the poet is addressing himself, he'd use the more informal way of doing so.)
- Okay, so what's our speaker actually saying to himself? He's saying that he is aware ("mindful") of the dead people who haven't been honored with lots of monuments, so he's memorializing them in these very lines of poetry.
- Then the speaker wonders what would happen if some random kindred spirit, who happened to be musing on similar things (i.e., death), might ask about the speaker's fate.
- He answers this question in the next stanza, and with some alliteration thrown in while he's at it ("Haply some hoary-headed" and "swain […] say")!
- Probably some gray-haired ("hoary-headed") farmer guy ("swain") would say that they had often seen the speaker hurrying through the dew-covered grass to watch the sun come up on the meadow lawn.

Video streaming services provider
) recently signed a new content deal with Turner Broadcasting
System and The Warner Bros. Television Group ("WBTVG"), both
divisions of
Time Warner
The partnership will enable Netflix to offer some of the
popular Cartoon Network shows such as
Adventure Time
Ben 10
Regular Show
Johnny Bravo
and Warner Bros. Animation's
Green Lantern
on its "Just For Kids" section starting from March 30, 2013.
"Just for Kids", as the name implies, is targeted at children
aged 12 and under.
Netflix will also stream Adult Swim shows that include
Robot Chicken
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
The Boondocks
and WBTVG's
Children's Hospital
. In addition to these shows, Netflix subscribers will also be
able to access season 1 and 2 of the critically acclaimed
television series
from January 2014.
The new content deal further strengthens the partnership
between Netflix and Time Warner. Earlier this month, Netflix
entered into an agreement with WBTVG to stream eight current
(produced in 2012-2013 season) television shows that include '
', '
Political Animals
', '
666 Park Avenue
' '
The Following
', '
', '
', '
', and '
The West Wing
' in 2014.
The addition of all these popular television shows will not
only diversify Netflix's streaming portfolio but will also
strengthen its position in the video-on-demand ("VOD") market. We
believe that the deal would be incrementally beneficial for the
company in attracting new subscribers as well as retaining the
old ones.
Amid increasing competition from streaming providers such as
Amazon.com Inc.
), Huluas well as newly launched services from cable and media
companies, Netflix remains focused on boosting its streaming
portfolio with varied content. Apart from recent movies and
documentaries, Netflix is also boosting its original content
Netflix's partnerships with leading Hollywood studios and
entertainment companies such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Twentieth
Century Fox, Hasbro studios, The Weinstein Company ("TWC"), Epix,
Walt Disney
) has enabled it to offer varied content. Through its original
television shows, Netflix has been venturing into different
genres like comedy, political thrillers, autobiographies as well
as horror. Netflix is expected to stream five original series by
2013 end.
The improved content has also driven customer engagement
lately. In the recently concluded third quarter of 2012, the
total unique subscribers (domestic and international) jumped
25.7% year over year to 31.8 million.
Nevertheless, increasing licensing and renewal fees coupled
with higher investment on content delivery network (CDN)
development and overseas expansion will hurt profitability going
forward. Netflix needs to pay $5.0 billion for streaming content
obligations, out of which $2.1 billion is to be paid within the
next 12 months.
Moreover, when compared to some of its cable and
communications peers who have diversified revenue and cash flow
streams, Netflix relies solely on streaming for future growth as
its DVD rental business continues to lose subscribers. We believe
that the streaming market is becoming overcrowded and this will
hurt Netflix's margins going forward.
We remain Neutral on Netflix over the long term (6-12 months).
Currently, Netflix has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson believes that he
could get more meaningful minutes out of forward David Lee during the team's
second-round matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. However, Jackson also said
that there's no expectation on Lee moving forward, as how his body responds
will determine how much he plays, according to Carl Steward of The Contra Costa Times.
"It depends on how he's feeling and what the doctors and training staff and everybody else says about it," Jackson said. "But he's excited about it, and if he's healthy, and he can give us something, I will certainly utilize those minutes properly."
Lee unexpectedly returned for the Warriors' Game 6 matchupnagainst the Denver Nuggets. He had suffered what was reported to be a season-ending hip flexor tear earlier in the series, but he suited up and was on the court for roughly a minute during the deciding game.
How much time Lee will see during the second round is to be determined, but what is certain is that he's as tough as they come. Golden State would certainly receive a boost if he's able to log more meaningful minutes against the Spurs.

The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate today competes with America's best real estate programs for top graduate real estate students who will add to the prestige of USD and the Burnham-Moores Center as they advance in their careers. To continue to compete at this level against larger and more mature institutions, the Center needs to generate significantly more funds to recruit the most prized students possible, who represent the future of our program and the real estate industry.
Our goal is to have an annual scholarship pool of at least $250,000 to $300,000 to attract the highest caliber of Master of Science in Real Estate students. To achieve that critical goal, in the next 12 months we will formally launch a campaign to raise a $5 million permanent endowment for graduate student scholarships as part of a $20 million capital campaign to ensure the long-term financial viability of USD's real estate program.
Readers might well question the timing of a major capital campaign whose donors most likely have been affected adversely—to put it mildly—by the real estate recession and stock market collapse. It is, in fact, this very economic adversity that underscores why such an endowment campaign is so urgently needed. USD's real estate program cannot be subject to the whims of the economy. It must continue to be on a firm financial footing, impervious to externalities, so that we can continue to educate future real estate leaders who will serve the region, the nation and the world.
The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate also must continue to compete for faculty scholars and professional staff to continue the trajectory of university, student, community and industry service that the initial endowments of the Center financed as the foundation of this program. These initial endowments include the $1.5 million generated by 200 donors to endow the Ernest W. Hahn Chair in Real Estate; the $685,000 provided by approximately 25 Policy Advisory Board members to endow the Daniel F. Mulvihill Professorship in Commercial Real Estate; and the $5 million donated by John Moores, the Burnham Foundation, and the employees and owners of Burnham Real Estate Services in 2004 to name and endow the Center.
While more information will be forthcoming when the capital campaign is launched formally, I wanted to let readers of this newsletter know that our scholarship needs are now. Your generosity will make a difference in the quality of graduate students we educate and subsequently send into this region as future industry leaders imbued with a strong sense of ethics and social responsibility.

Executive Director

barronvontrap posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubI have had problem with the floor on my 04 focus Cmax (75,000 miles) getting absolutely soaked. This happened during the summer months and had nothing to do with rain etc. I have now solved it and thought I would post the remedy for others. The problem was a blocked drain tube that runs from the Air Con to the outside, because we have the air con on all the time a jelly like substance had blocked the tube and the water was building up and coming out of the fan blower casing. You can tell if you have the same problem because the floor will be absolutely soaked and normally if you have the air con on clear water should drip about a foot in from the off side front wheel if it doesn't then it is most likely blocked. The good news is it is really easy to fix. Kneeling down outside the car and looking in at the drivers side pull away the thin plastic panel that laps over the carpet in the foot well, on the C max there is a single central push stud that holds it in place. Just behind the panel at the same level as the driver pedals( possibly just covered by the top of the carpet) is a black rubber concertiner type tube about 5 inches long and half an inch wide. The bottom goes into the drive shaft tunnel and the top into a black platsic elbow. Pull the elbow out and the grommet style connection into the drive shaft tunnel They come out easily both being a push fit. Clean out the tube and fish out the crap where the elbow pushes in. Reassemble and Ah Voila!

However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Shouldn't that mean Michelle is proud of Bush?
So a question for all those that agree with Michelle Obama's statement that, "For the first time, I am proud of my country", I have to ask you – why now?
Obama is not the president and isn't doing anything significantly overt to affect the nation at this moment. So if you're proud now, it really has nothing to do with him. It's not the current democratic congress since only 11% of America has any confidence in them.
So what is happening right now that suddenly makes you proud to be an American? Chronologically, it would seem to me that a statement like that is in support of the current administration, eh?

Roger rallies to win
05.09.2009 | Tennis
Roger battled past Lleyton Hewitt with a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 victory today.
"We played here in the finals in 2004," Roger said in a court-side interview. "The third round, it just doesn't seem right."
Roger had a good start, taking a 4-2 and 40-love lead in the first set, but then suffered a bout of wayward groundstokes which eventually lead to the loss of the first set. But Roger found his rhythm rapidly and eventually raced through the second set. Hewitt did have four break points in the third set, but couldn't convert any. And our champ then went on to make everything clear in the fourth.
Roger's next match will be against the winner of the match between American James Blake and Tommy Robredo of Spain, who play later today.
too strongly beautiful play with uncountable many amazing and unreal shots. i've no words, hold on Roger the break chances'll come, one more set and the match is yours!!!
Yeah 2-sets to love, maybe I should go to sleep now knowing that our champion will sail through this match easily and get some rest for the qtrs. o Roger go

AIKEN, S.C. -- The woman who was hit by a motorcycle in Aiken Thursday morning has died.
The Aiken County Coroner's Office says 53-year-old Cynthia Sanders died during surgery on Thursday.

New Quinoxaline Derivatives as Potential MT1 and MT2 Receptor Ligands
AbstractEver since the idea arose that melatonin might promote sleep and resynchronize circadian rhythms, many research groups have centered their efforts on obtaining new melatonin receptor ligands whose pharmacophores include an aliphatic chain of variable length united to an N-alkylamide and a methoxy group (or a bioisostere), linked to a central ring. Substitution of the indole ring found in melatonin with a naphthalene or quinoline ring leads to compounds of similar affinity. The next step in this structural approximation is to introduce a quinoxaline ring (a bioisostere of the quinoline and naphthalene rings) as the central nucleus of future melatoninergic ligands.

Inca architecture is the most significant pre-Columbian architecture in South America. The Incas inherited an architectural legacy from Tiwanaku, founded in the second century B.C. in present day Bolivia.
The Incas developed an extensive road system spanning most of the western length of the continent. Inca rope bridges could be considered the world's first suspension bridges. Because the Incas used no wheels (the Inca, unlike many other large empires, never discovered the wheel) or horses they built their roads and bridges for foot and pack-llama traffic.
Much of present day architecture at the former Inca capital Cuzco shows both Incan and Spanish influences. The famous lost city Machu Picchu is the best surviving example of Incan architecture. Some other significant sites include Sacsayhuaman and Ollantaytambo. The Inca were sophisticated stone cutters whose masonry used no mortar.
Characteristics of Incan Architecture
The basic shape of Inca Architecture is a rectangular building without any internal walls. Typically these single room units had either thatched or wooden beam roofs. Many of these structures were built side-by-side, often sharing a wall though not a door. These buildings may have been used as homes, storage, or served for government or religious activities. In his book Incan Settlement Planning, John Hyslop writes: "The rectangular plan could not dominate the Inca buildings. From humble rural houses to the halls of the most sacred temple…" Occasionally the Incan built circular or two story buildings.
Incan architectural ornamentation is considered, by western standards, limited. Occasionally they painted walls or hung metal plaques. Although infrequent, small animals and geometric patterns were sometimes sculpted into their stonework. Although decoration was rare, canals and fountains were certainly an aspect of ornamentation. Incan doors and windows were created with some elegance as well.
Masonry and Construction Methods
The Inca had learned about the importance of long-lasting infrastructure, including the need for foundations, from the Tiwanaku Empire near Lake Titicaca. The famous Incan foundations are the reason for their city's longevity. Water engineer Ken Wright estimates that 60 percent of the Inca construction effort was underground. The Inca built their cities with locally available materials, usually including limestone or granite. To cut these hard igneous rocks the Inca used stone and bronze or copper tools, usually splitting the stones along the natural fracture lines. Without the wheel the stones were rolled up wood beams on earth ramps. Extraordinary manpower would have been necessary. Hyslop comments that the " 'secret' to the production of fine Inca masonry…was the social organization necessary to maintain the great numbers of people creating such energy-consuming monuments."
Incan stonework is known for its mortarless construction and expert precision. Fine Incan masonry can be grouped into two categories: polygonal and coursed or rectangular. Typically polygonal construction consists of irregularly shaped blocks. This type of masonry is found in canals, terrace walls and very rarely in buildings. Coursed masonry is composed of large rectangular blocks and is commonly used in perimeter walls and in the corners of buildings. Inca doors and windows were normally trapezoidal in shape. Often there is a stone loop either above or beside the doorway, so that the door could be tied and kept open. Recent research in Egypt showed pyramids may have been built with reconstituted stone. No such research exist in South America but similarity of building difficulties (no wheel, perfect joints) added to perfect angles could point out to similar solutions which would discard the need to lift the stones or cut them.
Usually the walls of Incan buildings were slightly inclined inside and the corners were rounded. This, in combination with masonry thoroughness, led Incan buildings to have a peerless seismic resistance thanks to high static and dynamic steadiness, absence of resonant frequencies and stress concentration points. During an earthquake with a small or moderate magnitude masonry was stable, and during a strong earthquake stone blocks were " dancing " near their normal positions and lay down exactly in right order after an earthquake.
The roofs of Incan buildings were made from thatch, often interlaced with gold threads for ornamentation. The roofs would shine in the sun and appear to be made of gold. There was an awning ceiling below a roof to protect inhabitants from falling roof materials during earthquakes. This is why the Incas rejected heavier roofing materials such as tiles or wood.
Agricultural Architecture
Perhaps the most renown aspect of Incan architecture are the agriculture terraces used to increase the land available for farming. These steppes provided flat ground surface for food production while protecting their city centers against erosion and landslides common in the Andes. The civil engineers at Machu Picchu built these so well that they were still intact in 1912 when Hiram Bingham discovered the lost city.
The Incans gave their empire the name, 'Land of the Four Quarters' or the Tahuantinsuyu Empire. It stretched north to south some 2,500 miles along the high mountainous Andean range from Colombia to Chile and reached west to east from the dry coastal desert called Atacama to the steamy Amazonian rain forest.
The Incas ruled the Andean Cordillera, second in height and harshness to the Himalayas. Daily life was spent at altitudes up to 15,000 feet and ritual life extended up to 22,057 feet to Llullaillaco in Chile, the highest Inca sacrificial site known today. Mountain roads and sacrificial platforms were built, which means a great amount of time was spent hauling loads of soil, rocks, and grass up to these inhospitable heights. Even with our advanced mountaineering clothing and equipment of today, it is hard for us to acclimatize and cope with the cold and dehydration experienced at the high altitudes frequented by the Inca. This ability of the sandal-clad Inca to thrive at extremely high elevations continues to perplex scientists today.
At the height of its existence the Inca Empire was the largest nation on Earth and remains the largest native state to have existed in the western hemisphere. The wealth and sophistication of the legendary Inca people lured many anthropologists and archaeologists to the Andean nations in a quest to understand the Inca's advanced ways and what led to their ultimate demise.
The Incas had an incredible system of roads. One road ran almost the entire length of the South American Pacific coast. Since the Incas lived in the Andes Mountains, the roads took great engineering and architectural skill to build. On the coast, the roads were not surfaced and were marked only by tree trunks The Incas paved their highland roads with flat stones and built stone walls to prevent travelers from falling off cliffs.
Referred to as an 'all-weather highway system', the over 14,000 miles of Inca roads were an astonishing and reliable precursor to the advent of the automobile. Communication and transport was efficient and speedy, linking the mountain peoples and lowland desert dwellers with Cuzco. Building materials and ceremonial processions traveled thousands of miles along the roads that still exist in remarkably good condition today. They were built to last and to withstand the extreme natural forces of wind, floods, ice, and drought.
This central nervous system of Inca transport and communication rivaled that of Rome. A high road crossed the higher regions of the Cordillera from north to south and another lower north-south road crossed the coastal plains. Shorter crossroads linked the two main highways together in several places. The terrain, according to Ciezo de Leon, an early chronicler of Inca culture, was formidable. The road system ran through deep valleys and over mountains, through piles of snow, quagmires, living rock, along turbulent rivers; in some places it ran smooth and paved, carefully laid out; in others over sierras, cut through the rock, with walls skirting the rivers, and steps and rests through the snow; everywhere it was clean swept and kept free of rubbish, with lodgings, storehouses, temples to the sun, and posts along the way. The Incas did not have the wheel, as they had no draft animals, so all travel was done on foot. To help travelers on their way, rest houses were built every few kilometers. In these rest houses, they could spend a night, cook a meal and feed their llamas.
Their bridges, which were made from ropes ingeneously tied together to form a narrow but effective structure, were the only way to cross rivers on foot. If only one of their hundreds of bridges was damaged, a major road could not fully function. Fortunately, every time a bridge broke, the locals would repair it as quickly as possible.

(SCSC) Meeting, October 24-27, 2013

We are seeking papers for a special interdisciplinary mini-conference on popular
religious communities of the post-medieval Irano-Mediterranean frontier. It will take
place at the annual meeting of the SCSC, this year to be held in Puerto Rico.
The early modern era (1400-1650) was undoubtedly a period of contact and acculturation. In recent years, there has been increasing interest by scholars in identifying and discussing how expanding cultures and polities – be they based in Istanbul, Venice, Seville, or Isfahan – understood their counterparts across what was once described in the late 1990s by Aziz al-Azmeh as "the Irano-Mediterranean Frontier". Al-Azmeh's designation of such was neither fanciful nor facile. He argued, quite convincingly, that the seemingly disparate medieval worlds of Islam and Christendom inherited a vision of society, politics and religion which had been forged in the post-Hellenistic crucible which had so profoundly shaped the worlds of both Mediterranean and Iranian civilization during late Antiquity. To be sure, the religious landscape of the Irano-Mediterranean frontier underwent profound changes from the 8-10th centuries as both Christianity and Islam engaged this legacy on a number of levels – theological, legal, societal, philosophical, scientific – to produce new cosmographies and socio-cultural systems which accommodated their respective surrounding contexts.
On this front, the theme of this proposal is to invite papers that focus on namely those "lay" communities who advocated a unique religious identity that did not necessarily prescribe to the ecclesiastical and discursive norm which had emerged by the late medieval period. Such Muslim and Christian popular "associations of piety" – e.g. confraternities, guilds, brotherhoods – are now increasingly of interest to modern scholars and their quest to query the dominant narrative defined by the hybrid "establishment" of church/mosque and state.
The theme of these proposed panels is designed fundamentally to bring together those scholars of the early modern (Christian) Mediterranean and (Muslim) Middle East who are interested in how such constituencies, communities, and organizations shaped and influenced socio-religious categories of orthopraxy, orthodoxy, and heterodoxy. For instance, how does current scholarly research on European confraternities (often seen in the context of guilds, purgatorial societies, meistersingers, troupes performing mystery/miracles plays) share the same body of concerns, questions, and debates currently informing the academic study of pre-modern Sufi tariqahs (brotherhoods), futuwwa (urban pietistic associations), and other popular heterodox Muslim communities. The question emerges: to what extent can we identify and discuss the post-medieval Irano-Mediterranean frontier as a space wherein such pietistic collectives and associations were moving alongside, or independent of, established ecclesiastical and juridical spheres in their respective quotes to locate a "genuine" religious identity? On a more philosophical level: can we look to such communities as vehicles of transmission for innovative cosmologies and metaphysical systems which swept across the post-medieval worlds of Christian Europe and the Muslim Middle East in the 15-17th centuries?
Cities/civic governance and pietistic associations
Literature/drama/aesthetics and pietistic associations
Religious texts/exegesis and pietistic associations
Pietistic associations and relationship with the state
Resistance and pietistic associations
Theology/theosophy and pietistic associations
Social history and pietistic associations
Socio-ethnic history and pietistic associations
Philosophy and pietistic associations
Conversion and pietistic associations
Scholars interested in participating in this event should send an abstract and brief
biography to either Colin Mitchell (firstname.lastname@example.com) or
Megan Armstrong (email@example.com) no later than
March 1, 2013. Complete panels as well as individual submissions are welcome.
Once accepted, all participants will be expected to register with the SCSC for its main
conference. There is no separate registration for the mini conference. Hotel information and
all other details on the SCSC conference can be found on its website: www.sixteenthcentury.org.
You will also find attached here the CFP for the event.
Please do not hesitate to ask us should you have any questions about the event.

I think this scenario is the most likely.
The device offerings at TM now are almost all Samsung or iphone.
You guys got sweet deals on contract from those companies on the condition that you specialize in their products.
Let's be truthful Jennifer, tell your boss that you're just going to have to come clean and let the public know that T-Mobile is done with blackberry. And that we can kiss all the money, $600, that we wasted on blackberry phones goodby.
1 phrase: WiFi Calling.
A number of CrackBerry 'leak' users have reported it's been 'broken' by the 10.2.xxxx leaks, I suspect that feature has proven to be more problematic to make work well with 10.2 in any flavor than originally anticipated. And with T-Mobile having certain 'in-building' coverage issues in the US, it's a good feature to have. Really, the biggest frustration is lack of clear communications - according to CrackBerry, T-Mobile has rolled out 10.2.1 in several countries in Europe and in Asia. Frustrating to be 'in the dark' in regard to US plans, and with what the real issues are. I feel for the T-Mobile moderators on the board - they're likely likewise being kept in the dark - and receiving the abuse for it.
It would break my heart if after over 13 years with T-Mobile official support for BlackBerry would stop. When you have a world where people switch companies every time a new offer comes in the mail loyalty is hard to come by. I haven't had service with T-Mobile in a long time..... I have a relationship with them. But this would be grounds for a divorce.
I've been with TM since 02 and used blackberry for 8 years. With 3 lines and unlimited everything I can't really afford to "divorce" TM but if they keep treating us like this I may just have to take the plunge and dump them anyway. I need access to the Android market, if TM won't help me they're going to have to be hasta la bye bye soon.
Here it is folks.
If you want truth try asking someone other than tmobile.
Crackberry reports that 10.2.1 has been released in 600+ countries including 6 with none other than, guess who!, you got it it, Tmobile. Czech Republic, Hungary, New Zealand, The UK, Netherlands and Germany.
Here in the good ol' US however TM is treating us like the proverbial mushroom. Keeping us in the dark and feeding us feces.
Sorry, that's 600+ carriers, not countries
if at least they would've release 10.2 i would've wait a little more patiently, but no 10.2, i have a leak version install that has been giving me some issue... but the thing is it works better than the 10.1 that tmobile release back in sep 2013. so they give no information, saying hey we jumping 10.2 is obviously they going for 10.2.1, everyday that pass is another day im more frustrated, since my bill is 103. and i cant even use my phone at work since i have no reception, my signal is horrible at home.. lucky for me i have the wifi calling which i get txt message, bbm, whatsapp and all that not phone calls, voice call over wifi with my z10 is horrible, maybe is the radio im using.. yet with the update that can probably be fix. but nope they just love telling us, "we have no information on that, keep checking the site which has been outdated since sep..
Folks! I am a BlackBerry user and I bought an unlocked z30 100-5 model last Friday from Canada and I installed the 10.2.1.195 leak.
Yesterday morning I received an update notification that there was an 10.2.1.537 update available.
It was only about 10MB but it was there. I am thinking it was a small one because I already had the leak installed on my phone.
This would tell me that they do have the update and it's just a matter of when they are going to release it here.
Just thought it would pass that along. By the way, the z30 is a beautiful device and I an rocking on the T Mobile LTE network.
Can you post the link for the 10.2.1 leak, please.
I've looked for it on the net but haven't been able to find it yet.
I'd like to get into the Android app market for some banking/business related apps that BofA doesn't offer to blackberry users.
The update came as an OTA update though my z30, Sorry.
I does upset me that T Mobile who had always supported BlackBerry would all of a sudden act we BlackBerry users don't exist?
They no longer carry them in their stores and have made it difficult to order one of their website? It's a dam shame that you spend your hard earned money for a product that the carrier is suppose to support and can't get any answers?
They sure as hell support Apple and Android products don't they? What they seem to forget is that at one time they made allot of money selling Blackberry devices and now that they are having some issues, they turn their back on them and the faithful users here.
I sure hope someone at T Mobile is going to solve this abandonment of the Blackberry brand and support issues soon?
Their current CEO Legere is more interested, concerned and focused on publicly trashing the other big 3 (Verizon, at&t and? Hmm, don't recall the 3rd right now, alltell?) to get more new customers than he is in taking care of the ones he already has. He's a real piece of work.
Tmobile LTE works on the Z30 100-5 ??? how about wifi calling?

Sungai Selangor Dam
is one of the most important source of clean water
for the Klang Valley and it comes with a very nice and clean catchment area.
Let us hope that it is kept that way for a very long-long time
as our future well being depends on it.
(and by the way, these photos were taken last year)
The beautifully landscaped road leading to the dam
which's about 5km from the town of Kuala Kubu Baru
by the KKB to Fraser's Hill and Raub road.
The 110 metre-high rockfill Sungai Selangor Dam designed to store
and regulate a maximum capacity of 235 million cubic metres.
The spillway.

The Pertak Village, modern relocated aboriginal settlement.
Crystal clear water leaving the dam,
i wonder at which part of the river the color changes to brownish.

Dam design is very important subject,
about 130 years ago a dam nearby here
broke and damaged the nearby Kuala Kubu town.
The dam looks like a huge lake, I wonder how come Selangor is facing water shortage. Or is it just a political drama by some quarters?ReplyDeleteReplies

2008 Coach's Corner #2 - A Letter From The Desk Of Coach Priore
Sept. 3, 2008
Stony Brook, N.Y. - On behalf of the Stony Brook University Football program I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone for their support during the victory against Colgate on Saturday evening. The atmosphere was truly electric; the marching band, student section and fans that came helped our players start off the 2008 season with a bang. The environment provided energy and enthusiasm for our team and it continues to make LaValle Stadium a very difficult place to play for any opponent. We will need that support again this week when we host #17 Elon University from the Southern Conference. More on that later . . .
The first game of the season is complicated as it is the first chance for two teams to test and evaluate new plays, schemes, and personnel in a highly competitive game situation. Both teams were excited to prove their mettle and put their skills to the test. Throughout the game, we exhibited strengths and weaknesses on both sides of the ball, but the overall performance of the offense, defense and special teams produced a solid win versus a very strong and respected opponent. It was just a couple of seasons ago that Colgate lost in the NCAA Division 1-AA (now called FCS) National Championship game.
The offense achieved its primary goal by establishing an aggressive and consistent ground attack. Up front, the experience of Steve Council '09 (Plainfield, N.J.) and Lawrence Lovell '08 G `10 (Brooklyn, N.Y.) spearheaded an offensive line that opened up holes for our running backs. Running backs Conte Cuttino '10 (Uniondale, N.Y.) and Eddie Gowins '12 (Bellport, N.Y.) also deserve credit as they did an outstanding job by individually totaling over 100 rushing yards.
Defensively, we were able to consistently put pressure on Colgate's running game and force them to beat us by passing the ball. This led to three interceptions by an excellent secondary corps consisting of Chris Richards '10 (Quartz Hills, Calif.), Cory Giddings '10 (Ocean, N.J.), Chris Brevi '09 (Tampa, Fla.) and Mike McCoy '09 (Los Angeles, Calif). This group, along with the support of impact players like linebackers Carl Teague '10 (St. Petersburg, Fla.) and Tyler Santucci '10 (New Kensington, Pa.), helped give our offense the ball back in good field position to score early and often.
Special teams also played a big role in this game, especially when it came to field position for each team. Luke Gaddis `09 (E. Patchogue, N.Y.) was outstanding, averaging 42 yards per punt and pinning Colgate inside their own 20-yard line three times. Also, newcomer Dayton Guillory '10 (Bossier City, La.) made an impact on the return teams with two punt returns for 15 yards and four kickoff returns for a total of 81 yards.
As I stated earlier, this week we are going ahead with rigorous preparation for nationally-ranked Phoenix of Elon University. We will have to improve upon this past week's performance in order for us to be successful against such a good team. I strongly believe that the improvement a team makes between the first and second game often foreshadows the success of a team and I expect that it will be no different this year.
We know the areas we need to improve upon and we must show great focus in this week's preparation in correcting our mistakes and strengthening our units as a whole. We look forward to yet another great home crowd for this exciting match up and we hope for your continued support. See you Saturday at 3:00 p.m. As always, wear RED and Go Seawolves!
Chuck Priore

He knows how it all works and carries spares of almost everything. As an electronics engineer previously he takes maintenance seriously and carries out PAT testing in-house.
Steve's standard rate includes access to much of his extra kit, such as wireless HD monitor and all the other bits and pieces that you normally have to pay extra for from hire companies.
