PEM Fuel Cells for Transport Applications: State of the Art and Challenges1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243269View Description Hide Description
In order to offer a true alternative to the internal combustion engine, whether fuelled with today's fossil fuels or with first and second generation biofuels, the fuel cell technology needs to mature to such a level that it meets consumer expectations with respect to vehicle performance, driving range and refueling time, while at the same time vehicle efficiency and well to tank emissions are such that overall emissions can be diminished drastically. The present paper addresses the present state of the art of fuel cell technology (PEMFC—proton exchange membrane fuel cells) for transportation, and the materials issues for both the short term and the long term that need to be addressed to fulfill the expectations.
Redox‐Active Nitroxide Radical Polymers: From Green Catalysts to Energy Storage Devices1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243242View Description Hide Description
Robust but redox‐active radical polymers bearing 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐N‐oxy (TEMPO) were investigated as a metal‐free, green mediator/catalyst for the oxidation of alcohol derivatives, and as a new electrode‐active and charge‐storage material. The TEMPO‐mediated oxidation of the primary alcohol group of the natural cellulose improved the water‐dispersivity of cellulose, and the polymer‐supported catalysts or redox resins allow facile removal of catalysts from products by simple filtration. Other radical molecule (e.g. galvinoxyl) was also used as a mediator, which is coupled with the molecular oxygen. A reversible one‐electron redox reaction of TEMPO allowed its application as an electrode‐active material featuring high cyclability (>500 cycles), relatively high battery electrode capacity (100–135 mAh/g), and fast electrode kinetics, leading to the high power rate capability of the battery. The radical polymer‐based electrodes also provided good processability and shape flexibility, which promised the paper‐like and wearable energy‐storage devices.
High Temperature Superconductivity: The Mystery We Are Ever After1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243253View Description Hide Description
Superconductivity was an unanticipated property of matter. Perhaps no history of a scientific subject is as impressive as the history of superconductivity. Over the past nine decades the history remains exciting, where some of our best minds were and are engaged on understanding how this remarkable property is manifested in some materials under certain conditions. In 1986 Alex Müller and Georg Bednorz from IBM, Zurich reported Ba‐doped lanthanum cuprate is a superconductor with an onset temperature of 35 K. Since then an unprecedented race continues. High superconductors are difficult to understand because they involve a number of electronic and structural phase transitions between anti‐ferromagnetic insulators, highly correlated metals, superconductors and normal metals. The general consensus is that the parent materials are Mott insulators, where strong electronic Coulomb repulsion suppresses charge fluctuations on the Cu sites. Upon doping the holes/electrons become mobile and exhibit various mysterious phases. At present the key issue remains to be resolved—how do we understand a variety of anomalies in the normal state, particularly in the underdoped part of the density‐temperature (n∼T) phase diagram? What do these anomalies indicate towards the microscopic mechanism of superconducting pairing?
Characterization of Solar Cells using Nano Titanium Oxide and Nanocomposite Materials1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243261View Description Hide Description
Dye‐sensitized (DSSC) and organic composite solar cells (OCSC) were prepared for characterization and comparison of their photovoltaic conversion parameters like open‐circuit voltage (Voc), short‐circuit photocurrent (Jsc), energy photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PEC). Nanocrystalline films sensitized by the dye (N3) were used for DSSCs and nano structured poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2′‐ethyl‐hexyloxy)‐1, 4‐phenylene vinylene] (MEH‐PPV) incorporating composites were used for OCSCs. The influence of the addition of 4‐tert‐butylpyridine (4TBP) or acetic acid to the electrolyte was investigated. The polymer luminescence quenching effect of the nanocomposites was observed. Due to this, nanocomposites can be used for organic solar cells. The PEC of the OCSCs using a 300 nm‐thick nanocomposite film was reached a value as high as 0.15% that is comparable to the PEC of the DSSC.
Energy Conversion: Nano Solar Cell1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243267View Description Hide Description
Problems of fossil‐fuel‐induced climate change have sparked a demand for sustainable energy supply for all sectors of economy. Most laboratories continue to search for new materials and new technique to generate clean energy at affordable cost. Nanotechnology can play a major role in solving the energy problem. The prospect for solar energy using Si‐based technology is not encouraging. Si photovoltaics can produce electricity at 20–30 c//kWhr with about 25% efficiency. Nanoparticles have a strong capacity to absorb light and generate more electrons for current as discovered in the recent work of organic and dye‐sensitized cell. Using cheap preparation technique such as screen‐printing and self‐assembly growth, organic cells shows a strong potential for commercialization. Thin Films research group at National University Malaysia has been actively involved in these areas, and in this seminar, we will present a review works on nanomaterials for solar cells and particularly on hybrid organic solar cell based on ZnO nanorod arrays. The organic layer consisting of poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1, 4‐phenylenevinylene] (MEHPPV) and [6, 6]‐phenyl C61‐butyric acid 3‐ethylthiophene ester (PCBE) was spin‐coated on ZnO nanorod arrays. ZnO nanorod arrays were grown on FTO glass substrates which were pre‐coated with ZnO nanoparticles using a low temperature chemical solution method. A gold electrode was used as the top contact. The device gave a short circuit current density of and an open circuit voltage of 0.45 V under illumination of a projector halogen light at
Development of Lithium‐ion Battery as Energy Storage for Mobile Power Sources Applications1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243268View Description Hide Description
In view of the need to protect the global environment and save energy, there has been strong demand for the development of lithium‐ion battery technology as a energy storage system, especially for Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) and electric vehicles (EV) applications. The R&D trend in the lithium‐ion battery development is toward the high power and energy density, cheaper in price and high safety standard. In our laboratory, the research and development of lithium‐ion battery technology was mainly focus to develop high power density performance of cathode material, which is focusing to the Li‐metal‐oxide system, where M=Co, Ni, Mn and its combination. The nano particle size material, which has irregular particle shape and high specific surface area was successfully synthesized by self propagating combustion technique. As a result the energy density and power density of the synthesized materials are significantly improved. In addition, we also developed variety of sizes of lithium‐ion battery prototype, including (i) small size for electronic gadgets such as mobile phone and PDA applications, (ii) medium size for remote control toys and power tools applications and (iii) battery module for high power application such as electric bicycle and electric scooter applications. The detail performance of R&D in advanced materials and prototype development in AMREC, SIRIM Berhad will be discussed in this paper.

We report on the deposition by a sol‐gel process of and films on platinum coated silicon substrates. X‐Ray diffraction patterns show that the films are (111) preferentially oriented. The surface morphology is smooth, without cracks and the grain size is about 50 nm as determined by AFM and SEM. The dielectric constant measured from to decreases slightly and is around 400 at The losses are constant in a first approximation for a 1.5 μm thick BST(80/20) film with a value of 0.03 at 10 kHz. The existence of an hysteresis cycle attests that the films, whatever their thickness, are in a ferroelectric state. Pyroelectric coefficients have been determined and the best figure of merit obtained on BST(90/10) at 293 K and 10 kHz is of 149 The best dielectric and pyroelectric properties ( at 1 MHz, ) were obtained on the 400 nm BST(90/10) film. Work is in progress to characterize the piezoelectric and photovoltaic properties of our BST films.
A View of Compatible Heat‐Resistant Alloy and Coating Systems at High‐Temperatures1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243272View Description Hide Description
Conventional and advanced coatings were reviewed, and it was pointed out that the coated Ni‐base superalloys decreased their creep rupture life significantly at higher temperatures, and the advanced high strength superalloy became more remarkably. Concept of diffusion barrier coating system (DBC system) and their formation process was introduced, and the results obtained for several heat‐resistant alloys, stainless steel (SUS310S), Ni‐Mo base alloy (Hastelloy‐X), and 4th generation single crystal superalloy (TMS‐138) were given. It was noted that creep‐rupture life of the SUS310S and Hastelloy‐X with the DBC system became longer than those of the bare alloys with or without conventional β‐NiAl coatings. This is due to slow creep‐deformation of the Re‐base alloy layer as the diffusion barrier. A novel concept based on combination of superalloys and coatings was proposed, by taking both the materials science and corrosion science into consideration.
Quantum Size level Structure of Colloidal CdTe Quantum Dot Nanocrystal : A Multi‐band Approach1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243273View Description Hide Description
We have calculated size dependence of electronic structure of spherical quantum dots (SQDs) based on a direct semiconductor consisting of colloidal CdTe nanocrystal in a multiband effective mass approximation. The application of the multiband effective mass approximation on SQDs with spherical symmetries was performed analytically by introducing the concept of two Hilbert space tensorial product between the periodic Bloch function and the envelope orthogonal periodic function (EOPF) bases corresponding to the effect of the periodic crystals and the confinement potentials. The six‐band Luttinger‐Kohn (LK) holes and the one‐band electron Hamiltonians are taken into account to get the electron‐hole pair states as the bases in the calculation of exciton wave functions and some of their lower‐state energies. The result of our calculation shows the strong size dependence of energy spectrum, coulomb energy, and exciton energy with the QD radius.
Mechanical Properties of Clay Thin Plate as Pre‐Evaluation for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Manufacture1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243274View Description Hide Description
Solid oxide fuel cell that produces a certain power density requires specific air pressures to be flowed within its membrane to ensure that certain electrons flow through its fuel cell membrane. Therefore, it is vital for a fuel cell membrane to sustain the pressure loading without any failures. This paper investigates the mechanical properties of clay thin plate as a preliminary evaluation of parameter processes used for solid oxide fuel cell manufacture. Several parameter processes that affect the mechanical properties such as compaction loading, sintering temperature, grain size and of the thin plate are of interest. The experiment uses the Vickers test to determine the hardness number. The experimental results are used as guidance in preparing the thin plate of solid oxide fuel cell.
Mechanical Properties of Nature Graphite Compacts Electroplated by Copper1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243275View Description Hide Description
This work examines the processing and mechanical properties of graphite compacts electroplated by a copper layer. Natural graphite (NG) flakes have been compressed to make graphite compacts. A copper electrodeposit has been applied to the surface of the graphite compact in order to reinforce the mechanical properties and prevent the graphite particles from peeling off. The natural graphite flakes were stacked layer by layer in order within the graphite compact. The effects of different electroplating conditions on the mechanical properties of the graphite compacts were studied. The density of the compact reaches to a limit value when the pressure was above 100 MPa. The tests indicated that the compressive, flexural and shear strengths increase at least 150% with the copper layer. The damage mechanisms in the compacts were investigated by using a scanning electron microscopy.
Development of Clay Thin Plate as First Preparation for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Manufacture—Preliminary Study1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243235View Description Hide Description
Various methods have heen implemented to manufacture the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell. The quality of thin plate fuel cell that allows the optimum electrons flow within the fuel cell membrane is of interest. This paper investigates the manufacturing process of clay thin plate for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) using the compaction method. Several parameter processes that affect the quality of thin plate such as compaction loading, microstructure and deformation of thin plate at green density and after sintering are investigated. The thin plate is fabricated from clay powder using a single acting compaction at a finite loading, for sintering temperature at about 1350° C with holding time of 30 minutes. The thin plate is underwent a scanning process using a Scanning Electron Microscopy to evaluate the grain size and thickness plate. The result indicates the substantial information of parameter process of clay thin plate for solid oxide fuel cell manufacture.

Materials for Hydrogen Production with Integrated Capture1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243238View Description Hide Description
Palladium‐based membrane reactors and sorption‐enhanced water‐gas shift are two promising technologies for efficient production of hydrogen with integrated capture. This paper discusses material issues of the two crucial materials of these technologies: the membrane and the sorbent. For Pd and Pd‐alloy membranes the major issues concern the stability of the membrane and the poisoning of the membrane surface by compound such as sulfur and carbon monoxide. Both issues are addressed by research into novel Pd‐alloys. For the potassium‐promoted hydrotalcite sorbents used in sorption‐enhanced water gas shift, the main challenges are a high adsorption capacity, chemical and mechanical stability, and low steam use for sorbent regeneration. Promising results have recently been reported for several of these challenges. For both hydrogen‐selective membranes and sorbents, the interaction of the materials with sulfur is an import issue to enable their use in the production of hydrogen from coal.

Thermal Dissipation Efficiency in a Micro‐Processor Using Carbon Nanotubes Based Composite1169(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3243241View Description Hide Description
Modern electronic and optoelectronic devices such as μ‐processor, light emitting diode, semiconductor laser issued a challenge in the thermal dissipation problem. Finding an effective way for thermal dissipation therefore becomes a very important issue. It is known that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is one of the most valuable materials with high thermal conductivity (2000 W/m.K compared to thermal conductivity of Ag 419 W/m.K). This suggested an approach in applying the CNTs as an essential component for thermal dissipation media to improve the performance of computer processor and other high power electronic devices. In this work multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based composites were utilized as the thermal dissipation media in a micro processor of a personal computer. The MWCNTs of different concentrations were added into polyaniline, commercial silicon thermal paste and commercial silver thermal paste by mechanical methods. A personal computer with configuration: Intel Pentium IV 3.066 GHz, 512 MB of RAM and Windows XP Service Pack 2 Operating System was employed. The thermal dissipation efficiency of the system was evaluated by directly measure the temperature of the μ‐processor during the operation of the computer in different CPU speeds. The measured results showed that the CNTs based composite could reduce the temperature of the u‐processor more than 5° C, and the time for increasing the temperature of the μ‐processor was three times longer than that when using commercial thermal paste.

Together, these combine to inform the pilot of potential hazards and automatically take measures to protect the fighter.
"As Europe's leader in electronic warfare, we're proud to play such a prominent role in the protection of the Eurofighter Typhoon," said Pete Forrest, VP Marketing and Sales for Electronic Warfare at Selex ES, adding: "As a company we continue to invest 15 percent of revenues in research and development which has lead to us bringing to market highly advanced EW products like our SAGE electronic support measure system."
Selex ES, which leads the EuroDASS consortium to deliver Praetorian, is currently also under contract to deliver the systems for Tranche 3A Typhoons, with the first batch of systems already installed.

WEEKEND WARRIOR; No Ice? No Problem! Hockey on Wheels
By BRAD DUNN
Published: December 25, 1998
I had not been on roller skates for almost five years. So it was with some trepidation that I found myself recently on a concrete hockey rink at Chelsea Piers girded with gear and awaiting an oncoming puck as my teammates shouted, ''Shoot! Shoot!'' I was startled to learn that it was me they were addressing.
Adrenaline took control. I drew back my wooden stick, stared hard at the orange disk before me and took what felt like a powerful slap shot.
Regaining my balance, I looked up, thinking, ''The goalie will never be able to stop that.''
I was correct. The puck flew about 12 feet to the right of the goal and caromed off a teammate's thigh. He clutched his leg and doubled over. I deflated. But he shook off his pain, and we skated back to play defense.
Although I lamented my poor marksmanship, I thrilled at the memory of shooting the puck. It was an exhilarating moment. A little more practice, I fantasized, and I'd be Mark Messier on wheels. I was soaring high. After all, I'd just taken my first shot in a real roller-hockey game.
The sport has always intrigued me. It has all the power and grace of ice hockey, yet it's cheaper, easier and more accessible to amateurs. If you want to experience hockey's speed and thrills, you can. You don't have to be one of those lucky few who learned to ice skate before learning to walk.
In fact, when I decided to get involved in roller hockey, my skating ability was fairly poor. I'd roller-skated my way through several birthday parties as a child, but those were on old quad roller skates, a sturdy two-wheels-by-two-wheels on each foot. Today, most roller hockey players use in-line skates, with wheels aligned in a single row (often called Rollerblades after the popular brand name).
Unfortunately, when in-line skating became all the rage about a decade ago, I was a late bloomer. Yes, I could turn and brake as needed. I could avoid pebbles and people, light posts and street signs, but all this required intense concentration. The actions of a hockey player -- the quick stops, the 180-degree turns, the explosive sprints -- were strictly out of my body's jurisdiction. Don't even ask me about skating backward.
The stick work was a little more familiar to me. Street hockey games with sawhorse goals and tennis balls filled many grade school afternoons in Colorado. I fired countless wrist shots at a school friend who played goalie and who was an artist of the kick save. But these were driveway affairs, and sneakers were the footwear of choice. My agility was not cramped by pads, helmets or wheels on my feet.
Now, the allure of roller hockey, with its feverish tempo and lightning action, beckoned me to the rink. First, I acquired the necessary equipment. I already owned in-line skates, so I started with pads. The trappings of a hockey player, whether on concrete or ice, are not unlike those of a gladiator.
At the sporting goods store I strapped on shin pads, knee pads, arm pads, gloves and a helmet, and stood in front of the mirror. I looked like an extra from the movie ''Spartacus.'' Then came the piece de resistance: the hockey stick. They were lined up like weapons. Though I'm a lefty, I picked out a right-handed stick (a common switch in the hockey world) and waved it around the store menacingly.
After a few days of basic skating and stick handling at May Matthews Playground in Clinton, I took a lesson from Kevin Daly, the director of roller hockey at Chelsea Piers. Kevin admits that he's an ice hockey player first. A Boston native, he played ice hockey throughout college and then professionally in Oslo, Norway. He came to Chelsea Piers about three years ago to teach children and adults the art of roller hockey. Since then, he has seen all types of players, from young local hotshots to Wall Street traders lacing up skates for the first time.
His explanation for the proliferation of amateur roller hockey in New York is simple: ''There's so much N.H.L. hockey in this area. There are so many fans.
''You've got the Rangers right over there,'' he said, pointing his hockey stick to Madison Square Garden. ''You've got all these fans who have to get out and vent. They've got to play hockey. It's all about venting.''
The first thing Kevin taught me is the hockey stance: knees bent, skates about shoulder width apart, head up. He said it's the same stance a shortstop uses, or a basketball defender. The idea is that you are ready for anything.
He said to stay low when you move, to use your thighs for power and to remember that skating is a sideways motion -- your legs move out to the side -- not a forward motion like running. Handling the stick is next. Make sure your hands are separated by about the length of your forearm. Carry the stick out in front of you; keeping it too close to your body restricts movement. By the end of our session, he'd covered the fundamentals of traveling with the puck, passing, catching and shooting.
''Just remember to keep your head up.'' he said. ''Don't stare at the puck the whole time. Know where your teammates are. Keep moving.'' Kevin made it look so easy. He also made me want to get out on the rink.

Photo: Ricardo Mayorga, Martinez in Tense Face To Face
Former champion Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga and Rene "Level" Martinez (4-0) went face to face, as they look ahead to their Mixed Martial Arts contest on July 27th in Managua, Nicaragua. On May 4th in Managua, Mayorga made his debut in Mixed Martial Arts against Wesley Tiffer and won by TKO in the second round. But there were several issues after the match was over. For starters, Mayorga weighed in 20-pounds over the contracted limit of 165-pounds. Then during the fight Mayorga launched an illegal knee to the back of Tiffer, which made the fighter scream out in pain. At that point Tiffer was unable to continue and Mayorga was declared the TKO winner. The result was later changed to a no-contest.
I hope Mayorga knocks this wannabe gangster spark out. Level's stand-up is terrible, awful tekkers. Mayorga is proven and tested at the highest level, even if he is old and past his sell-by date he still has solid power and…Comment by IconicOne86 on 07-24-2013

What fights did the following look the best in:
Ezzard Charles
Carlos Monzon
Jose Napoles
Archie Moore
Gene Tunney
Kid McCoy
Hard to say with Charles as his best performances likely weren't filmed. Likewise Tunney whose best performance was probably the final Greb bout.
I'd say Monzon's best was Valdez II. After getting dropped early on Monzon gets off the canvas to dominate his nearest challenger with a textbook display. Jabs, hooks, uppercuts, body punches, all in combination. The ideal fight to retire on.
Moore's best that I've seen was the Durelle rematch. After almost getting blasted out in that amazing first fight, Archie figured Durelle out the second time and hardly put a foot wrong. Awesome fighter.
Monzon IMO is the first Benvenuti fight
Napoles has to be Griffith
Ezzard Charles
As said above his best efforts were arguably never filmed but on film his best fights are
Lloyd Marshall II
Walcott I (only the last two rounds exist)
The way he puts away Bernie Reynolds was impressive too.
Carlos Monzon
Bennie Briscoe II for me. Visually his best performance as he uses good footwork and solid combinations to fend off Briscoe's relentless attack. Gets severely stunned in the 9th round, only to come back and give Briscoe a severe beating in the next round.
His first fight against Benvenuti is worth a watch too. He put away Tom Bogs with ease, paced himself very well against Bouttier the second time and punished Napoles in the last two rounds with devastating 1-2 combinations.
Jose Napoles
The first Cokes fight. His fight against Urbina shows devastating early form at lightweight. Good show against Pete Toro, butchered Adolph Pruitt in their rematch and a skillful display by aging Napoles against Ernie Lopez the second time.
Archie Moore
One of old Moore's best showings was at 40+ years of age against Yvon Durelle in the rematch. He picked the game fisherman apart after the great first fight they had. He shows his defense if not his offense against Oakland Billy Smith in an early film, takes apart Joey Maxim with pressure in their first fight and paces himself well against a much younger Harold Johnson in their last meeting.
Gene Tunney
Dempsey I
I thought he looked as if he was going through the motions against Dempsey in the rematch until getting dropped. After that, it was one of his best efforts as Tunney really opened up on Dempsey.
He was younger against Carpentier and brutally dispatched him in the late rounds, but not without having some difficulties early on.

Mosley's Cutman on The Foot Injury During Pacquiao Fight
By Michael Marley
Sugar Shane Mosley, who took a 12-round shellacking Saturday night in Las Vegas from a less than stellar Manny Pacquiao, wasn't concerned about the good fight, he was preoccupied during the bout with alleviating the pain in his "bad foot."
How a 39-year-old, 60 pro bout veteran could do this, I am unclear. It certainly wasn't Mosley's first time at the big rodeo but it may have been his last.
Let Jimmy Glenn, octogenarian Times Square saloon owner and expert cutman who worked Mosley's corner, explain all this shoe business.
"Naaz (trainer Naazim Richardson) told Shane at least twice not to wear some new boxing shoes somebody had given him," Glenn told me. "A fighter should know not to wear any shoes he has not worn a couple of times before. Boxing shoes need to be broken in to be comfortable.
"I heard Naaz tell Shane, 'Do not wear those shoes.'
"But Shane wore them and then had problems with his right foot. Something happened in the third round when Pacquiao knocked Shane down," Glenn said.
"These shoes he never tried before, he had a problem with the insole and his right foot started hurting like mad from the fourth round on. Skin came off on his foot and Shane was bleeding in the shoe."
The courtly Glenn, himself an ex-pro fighter and a sparring partner to heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson, said the bottom of Mosley's right, his sole, had to be sterilized in the dressing room after Pacman took a decision that was a shutout on two of the three cards.
"I cleaned up his foot, me and Shane's father (Jack)," Glenn said.
Glenn said the discomfort made a big difference in the outcome.
"I was very surprised at how Shane fought. I thought he'd use the jab, work off that and then set Pacquiao up, maybe for a KO. Pacquiao was not running at Shane but Shane couldn't do nothing."
I asked Glenn if he recalls Richardson talking about halting the bout halfway through, after the sixth round.
"I don't know nothing about that. Pacman, I thought he was good but I felt Shane would've beaten him if he did not get those shoes.
"They talk about (Zab) Judah, (Tim) Bradley, (Juan Manuel) Marquez, they won't beat Pacquiao.
"It will take a good fighter to beat Manny. I do see him as beatable and I think Floyd Mayweather's got too much skill and is too savvy for Pacquiao."
For decades, Glenn operated the old Times Square Gym, two streets down from his popular watering hole on West 44thStreet, Jimmy's Corner.
Glenn's cozy bar is filled with boxing items including photos of the host with boxing greats such as Muhammad Ali, matchmaker Teddy Brenner and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
If you go there, wear some comfortable shoes.

I need to create a form that posts to a .php file, i.e.
<form method="post" action="/foo.php">
The page with this form itself contains some php code. Now, I've installed the exec-php plugin and I'm able to create a wordpress page that generates the form. I'm also able to post to /foo.php and have it do some processing and output the result I need. So far so good.
However, I want foo.php itself to look like a wordpress page so it blends in with the rest of my blog. I guess ideally, I want to create a wordpress page with php code, and have that page NOT published by default but just sitting there. Then when it's called the output will be embedded inside the normal blog.
Just in case that's not clear, let's say foo.php contains just this
echo "hello world"
Right now, when I call it, I get a page that just says 'hello world'
I want to have a page that looks like a regular wordpress page with all my header, footer, sidebar, widgets, etc., and says 'hello world', and I don't want this page to be visible (no link on top) until it's invoked via a form post from another page. How can I do that?
Thanks very much in advance.

North Lanarkshire Carers Together pledges to improve the lives of carers within North Lanarkshire by actively linking carers and professionals together…
Welcome to North Lanarkshire Carers Together
North Lanarkshire Carers Carers Together pledges to improve the lives of carers within North Lanarkshire by actively linking carers and professionals in meaningful working relationships. Our organisation is a registered charity working in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, NHS Lanarkshire and a wide range of third sector and national organisations to influence policy development and service provision, which affect both carers and the people they care for.
Who is a Carer?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid support to a family member, friend or neighbour. They may care for an older person, someone who is disabled, someone with a long-term condition, someone with a mental health difficulty or someone who is affected by alcohol or drug misuse. Carers can be any age, from children to older people, and from every community and culture. Some carers may be disabled or have care needs themselves. They may be parents, spouses, grandparents, daughters, brothers, same sex partners, friends or neighbours. A young carer is a child or young person who has a significant role in looking after someone in their family. They may have practical caring responsibilities or be emotionally affected by a family member's needs.
The Role of a Carer
Carers have a unique role in the lives of the people they care for. They enable the people they care for to remain at home safely, independently and with dignity. The care they provide saves the Scottish taxpayer more than £10 billion a year – the costs of a second NHS. It is important therefore to recognise and support carers and enable them to continue with their caring role.
Stage 3 Debate and Amendments – The Carers (Scotland) Bill
The final debate of the Carers (Scotland) Bill was held in Parliament on the 4th of February. The Bill was then voted through to become an Act of Parliament. Several of the amendments supported by carers and carer support organisations were passed. There were also some disappointments, including the failure of the amendment to introduce national, rather than local eligibility criteria for support. This amendment was narrowly defeated in a vote.

5 defects lead Toyota to recall 6.4M vehicles
Published: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 2:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 2:10 p.m.
TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide -- about 2.34 million in the U.S. -- in actions for five different defects.
None of the various defects affecting 27 Toyota models and the Toyota-built Pontiac Vibe and Subaru Trezia in various markets is linked with crashes or deaths, the Associated Press reports, but Toyota is aware of two fires linked to a defective starter.
Some vehicles were recalled for more than one problem and the models' production spans April 2004 through August 2013.
Toyota models affected by one or more of the defects include: RAV4, Corolla, Matrix/Vibe, Trezia/Viz, Yaris, Highlander, Tacoma and Hilux pickups, Reiz, Fortuner, Innova, Land Cruiser Prado and Camry nameplates. Vibe is a rebadged Toyota Matrix and the Trezia is a Toyota Viz.
Toyota said it was simply how the engineering probes evolved that resulted in the recalls coming together at the same time. The recalls follow Toyota's settling for $1.2 billion last month a U.S. criminal into concealing information from safety regulators about defects that led to its massive sudden acceleration recalls in 2009 and 2010 that were linked with five deaths.
After those recall, Toyota head Akio Toyoda vowed to reform the company's quality control and recall reporting processes.
The problems (with number of vehicles worldwide) that led to the latest batch of recalls, according to trade journal Automotive News from Tokyo:
Cables for the driver air bag module that can be damaged, disabling the bag, though a warning light will come on (3.5 million vehicles, 1.67 million in the U.S.).
Seats that don't lock in place (2.32 million, 670,000 in North America)
Steering column brackets that may become loose or fail (760,000, Europe and Asia only)
Windshield wiper motor (160,000, Asia only)
Starter motor fire hazard (20,000, Asia only)

Department of Energy promised most energy efficient Super Bowl ever
**Written by Doug Powers
Not long before the power outage at the Superdome that delayed the game for over 30 minutes, the Department of Energy took a moment to remind everybody that they were about to witness the greenest, most energy efficient Super Bowl in history:
From Energy.gov:
While the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers compete to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy this weekend, eco-friendly fans and city leaders in New Orleans are competing to maximize sustainability practices to the fullest.
To make this the greenest Super Bowl, the New Orleans Host Committee has partnered with fans and the community to offset energy use across the major Super Bowl venues. The exterior of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome features more than 26,000 LED lights on 96 full-color graphic display panels, designed to wash the building in a spectrum of animated colors, patterns and images. The system draws only 10 kilowatts of electricity — equivalent to the amount of energy used by a small home — and the lights are expected to last for many years before needing replacement.
Embracing energy efficiency and renewable energy is having a profound impact on attracting developers and private industry in the New Orleans' re-building efforts. The push to re-invent this destination city contributes to making Sunday's game the greenest in Super Bowl history.
At that point, Providence decided to make it so:
More reliable power sources are under consideration for next year's Super Bowl while not compromising on sustainability. Those options include ringing the top level of <a href="MetLife Stadium"MetLife Stadium with 1,000 Volts and turning their lights on, or saving money by tapping into North Korea's power grid.
JWF: "The only thing that would have topped that would have been for a Solyndra ad to run during the power outage."

Skip to comments.Transgender People Are Harassed and Assaulted in Public Bathrooms, Survey Says
Posted on 07/13/2013 5:13:09 AM PDT by Salman
click here to read article
"Next well see initiatives to abolish male and female restrooms."
I think a restroom with a '?' icon on the door will be added.
" Man walks into a ladies room, and all Hell breaks loose."
I was having an insane day at work and walked into the women's restroom where I encountered several ladies. I was standing there like a deer in headlights and they all started laughing at me as I sheepishly backed out. One of them asked "do you do this a lot?".
Just pass a law that says any public use building must now have three types of restrooms-Men, Women, and Confused.
Simple answer.
Dress according to the sex you were born with.
Choose a restroom based upon the sex you were born with.
Problem solved.
There needs to be a restroom marked, "It".
You had a "trump card"...the baby and a dirty diaper.
Yes, there's that.
Many diseases come and go. Transsexualism might as well be one of them.
Well yeah, they're F*ing perverts.
What am I saying! Those fools on the Left would actually love to do it! NEVER make an absurd joke to those people! It just gives them ideas.
Few of these people are "post-op". Sex-change surgery (except to correct birth defects) is actually quite rare in the United States. I'm not even sure if there are any surgeons here who perform it. The hippocratic oath generally prohibits performing surgery on physically healthy people. Those serious about sex-change operations have to go overseas.
No, when we talk of "transgender people" 99% of the time we're talking about men (with all their plumbing intact) who wear women's clothing and demand we address them as women, including to allow them to use those public restrooms reserved for our wives and daughters.
You'll give yourself away as soon as you use the bidet.
Transgenders should just forgo using public restrooms, as they have rejected the choices available in natures coin toss.
There is a reason that we have gender specific restrooms and we cannot deal with providing restrooms for 15 different genders.
Have to be a damn long time on board before I'd find that entertaining.
I am a woman. If a man dressed as a woman came into a ladies' room it is not likely that the women present would even know, as we have stalls and not urinals. Only case I can think of is if he was the height of a professional basketball player and was standing to relieve himself. But I would assume that these disturbed men would sit down to do such.
To avoid being treated like a clown, they might try not looking like a clown.
But on the other hand, why bother to have separate restrooms for men and women?
Back in the 1960s, my father traveled to France. One of his many culture shocks was using a men's lavatory that had a woman as a steward.
I've never gotten a real definition of it that doesn't sound like a mental issue (and not in the way that people say "he likes guys? is he mental?").
"Transgender" doesn't mean (or doesn't only mean?) having had surgery. I'm told that people identify with one gender or the other, so they dress that way. I hear this, and I'm thinking "Corporal Klinger" or that female impersonator from "All in the Family". But, no, it depends on how they *feel*, which could change on a given day.
Now, sorry, but anyone who doesn't know what gender they are should not be indulged in some weird delusion. They need help because they have issues of some kind.
My father was stationed in France in the US Army in World War I. He was disgusted that a French woman sat on a toilet next to him and tried to sell him candy.
I'm pretty sure that's where this is leading.
So women got bitchy with drag queens? For real? And the drama queens were surprised because???
The opposite happened with me. I was used to the Mens Room always being on the left in every Wal-Mart I had been in. We were on vacation and stopped to get some item, and I hit the restrooms, not bothering to read the sign. Once inside, I had a "Goll-ee, Capn Jim, there's no urinals in here. WTF?" moment.
Then it hit me and I came boiling out of the place, wide eyed in panic. Wifey was just coming over and noticed my hurried exit and had her own Moment. When I told her what happened, she went into hysterics.
So much for compassion. :-)

There are too many relevant articles for me to ping out or for anyone to read. Speedtrain/handbasked/heading south - worse than I could have imagined even 10 years ago.
Transgendered people are seriously mentally ill and now society, government and the medical profession cater to, support and promote their sickness and moral failings and WE are the bad ones. What will it take to reject this evil sickness of the entire homo agenda?
anyone wanting on/off any of my ping lists, freepmail me.
And some of these so-called transgendered people still have all their equipment, not done the surgery etc, but just dress up like women. IOW, they could still rape if they so desire.
One thing the homo agenda and their pet leftists have done is substitute the word "gender" (which relates to grammar) instead of the good old word "sex".
And it is a horrible mental illness/sexual perversion and at least one big hospital that used to do "sex change" operations quit doing it because the doctors finally admitted that the whole trannie thing is a mental illness and the people after the "gender reassignment" surgery were even more miserable than before.
These freaks seek insult and push themselves and their perversion and sickness in peoples' faces and then complain when the people go "eeewwwww"!
Transgendered (so called) people get surgery - castration and often breast implants - usually have to have other surgery as well, such as facial surgery, reduction of adam's apple and so on. Also they have to take female hormones for the rest of their lives.
But now there's an entire spectrum of this vile perversion/sickness so some don't get any surgery/etc at all but just dress up as women (sometimes) and claim because they think they're a woman, they get to be treated like on. Or men etc. Now kids are being dragged into this sickening stew of perversion and mental illness.
It's freaking insane.
I mentioned this at my choir practice this morning, and one of the girls said she and her boyfriend had each entered the wrong-sex bathroom and realized it while washing their hands!
That's very intolerant of you, Sir/Madam Neanderthal!
You need to be open and accepting of courageous Hank Bauer and Dick Butkus types who are willing to get their freak on and publicly flaunt their feminine side in a "Lady's Room." After all, isn't THIS the freedom and liberty that makes America great?
"Confused men who use the womens bathroom in public are harassed and assaulted? "
Opposite of what happened to me. One drunk night in my debaucherous youth I accidentally stumbled into the women's bathroom at a bar. The ladies were waiting their turn and gently turned me around, passed me down the line and back out the door.
Can somebody help me find my way to any chapter of the 'Freakishly Normal Law Center'?
Shouldn't be much of a problem. The 'Pedophile Law Center' will be glad to help out.
Would a Chianti be an appropriate pairing or white? (and does it taste like chicken?)
When the Left finds a tactic that works, they run with it until it's dead.
Unisex school bathrooms should be interesting. I wonder how many kids will be able to hold it all day?
But...where then do delicate flowers, Janet Reno and Janet Nappy go?
When I was in high school, you couldn't use most of the bathrooms because they were full of kids smoking and taking drugs. There was one, on the second floor way at the back of the Office Skills wing, that was too inconvenient for the smokers, but you might not be able to reach it during a break unless you were taking typing or shorthand.
My family hates to go on car trips with me, because I never need to stop!
Good times... good times.
God help you if you deliberately left out the /sarc tag.
Unnngh, I'd forgotten that! I try to avoid thinking about school: I'll probably have nightmares now.
Hmm. All wee-wee'd up.
Mmm. Urban oysters.
"I once, in a sleep-deprived haze, went into the mens room at Walmart "
I've done that! I was sleep deprived plus I was at a different wal mart than the one I usually go to and the doors were reversed.
Can't they just use the handicapped bathrooms and have this 'issue' done with? It's not as if they don't qualify as mentally handicapped.
If I saw them in the bathroom, I'd run!
Who, the Aerosmith guys? LOL!!
Not a transgender story, but amusing.
In the early 80s, in China, a "ladies room" had stalls with very short doors-— about waist high. Problem was that the "men's room" was just beyond this room, so the men had to pass these stalls to get to it. You can imagine the looks in the faces of the men when they realized where they were! They were just following signs to the " men's room" and found themselves among sitting ladies!! The looks on their faces was priceless! We told them just to keep walking!!
