Sincerely Not Flattered
Here's a little inside Dallas Observer baseball for you: Our writers have quotas. They're expected to write so many stories a year in exchange for continued employment. On occasion, our hardworking reporters find the quota system a bit burdensome. (By "on occasion" Buzz means "always," and by "bit burdensome"we mean "to hear them talk, you'd think they worked in a salt mine.")
Obviously, our staff needs to work on its efficiency, and by "efficiency" we mean maybe they should just steal other paper's stories. Why not? It worked for the Tri-State Defender in Memphis, Tennessee, until recently. According to newspaper reports, the weekly published more than 100 articles between 1995 and 2002 that were lifted wholesale from other weeklies across the country, including at least a couple from the Observer. The "author" merely changed the byline or, in some instances, moved whole sets of facts and people from their original locations to Tennessee. For example, our May 10, 2001, story "Access Denied," about divorced Texas fathers battling to secure visitation rights with their children, was reprinted in the Defender with the same headline, only the divorced father whose case was outlined in the story was given a slightly different name. He also was relocated to Tennessee. Oh, and somehow the issue of fathers' rights became a black issue in the Defender, which circulates primarily in Memphis' black community. The real dad in question is white. (Note to staff: No, getting your story in the Defender doesn't count against quota.)
It gets worse. The Defender also lifted a story from East Bay Express, which like the Observer is owned by New Times Inc., about a police scandal in Oakland, California. Oakland is a far piece from Memphis, so perhaps to stir up local interest, the author of the plagiarized version relocated the scandal to Nashville. Too bad it's not as easy to move actual scandals as it is to ship stories. We could send Dallas' fake-drug cases and police Chief Terrell Bolton off to Nashville in exchange for a pedal-steel guitar player to be named later.
The Memphis Flyer, another weekly, reported that the Defender's owner, Tom Picou, told them that the thefts were the work of an unpaid freelance writer, an elderly white man named Larry Reeves whom Picou had never met. The Flyer then suggested, none too gently, that was a lie and Picou was the author. The Flyer also found several other purloined stories under another byline.
Buzz was unable to locate Picou for comment, though the Defender has apologized for the plagiarism, claiming it was victimized by an unscrupulous--if prolific--freelancer whom apparently no one at the Memphis paper has ever met. (More inside baseball: A prolific and anonymous reporter is what's known in the news biz as "an editor's wet dream.")

20 May 2013
Dr. Rick Fienberg
AAS Press Officer
+1 202-328-2010 x116; cell: +1 857-891-5649
New discoveries about celestial objects ranging from nearby stars to distant galaxies will be featured in five press conferences at the 222nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), 2-6 June 2013, at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46225. More than 500 astronomers, educators, journalists, and guests are expected.
The AAS offers complimentary press registration to bona fide working journalists and public-information officers (PIOs); see details below. Note: Advance registration closes May 24th!
Gathering with the AAS is its new Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD), whose seven "Bridging Laboratory & Astrophysics" sessions span four days. There are also two multisession Meetings-in-a-Meeting: "WIYN Observatory: Building on the Past, Looking to the Future" and "Outer Limits of the Milky Way." Other highlights include a baker's dozen of plenary lectures by prize recipients and other distinguished astronomers, hundreds of oral and poster presentations, and several public-policy town halls, including opportunities to meet with representatives from NASA and the National Science Foundation.
In addition, for the first time ever, the AAS is opening its meeting to local amateur astronomers and other interested members of the public, who may attend on Monday or Tuesday, 3 or 4 June, for a special low rate. And there will be two free events for the public. First is a "star party" on Monday evening, 3 June, in which members of the AAS and the Indiana Astronomical Society will set up telescopes at Convention Center Plaza to view the planet Saturn, with its glorious rings and bright moon Titan. Second is a public lecture by "BBC Sky at Night" co-presenter Chris Lintott of Adler Planetarium and Oxford University, who will give a talk entitled "Discovering Planets From Your Sofa: Adventures in Citizen Science" on Tuesday evening, 4 June.
Our meeting hotel, the 4-star Westin Indianapolis, is connected to the convention center and the Circle Centre Mall by a covered sky bridge, providing easy access not only to all AAS and LAD sessions but also to more than 100 shopping, dining, and entertainment venues.
Press Conference Schedule, Topics & Speakers
Briefings are scheduled for these dates and times:
- Mon., 3 June: 10:15 a.m., 2:15 p.m.
- Tues., 4 June: 10:15 a.m., 2:15 p.m.
- Wed., 5 June: 12:45 p.m.
All times are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT = UTC – 4 hours). Briefings will be held in Room 110, Level 1, Indiana Convention Center. Briefings will be webcast to accredited journalists and PIOs; details will follow in a subsequent advisory.
Following are the press-conference topics and speakers; some details remain subject to change. In [square brackets] under each speaker's name are the session or paper numbers on which the presentations are based, where applicable.
All findings are embargoed until the time of presentation at the meeting. "Time of presentation" means the start time of the oral or poster session in which the paper will be given, or the time of the corresponding press conference (if any), whichever comes first. See the complete AAS embargo policy for more information.
Note: All new discoveries are subject to confirmation by independent teams of scientists. Inclusion here does not imply endorsement by the American Astronomical Society. The AAS does not endorse individual scientific results.

I am OVER the weather being cold and wet, but just because I'm over it doesn't mean that it's going to magically become warm and sunny, (those swimsuits we looked at last week seem like a pipe-dream at this point)!
So instead of dwelling on what I can't change, I've been looking at some great fashion accessories that look cute, AND keep us dry!
As you can see from the photos in the slideshow above, Burberry has a great rainy day collection, but their prices are a bit steep.
Fortunately, there are some great options for trench-style raincoats in a more rational price range. These two options are classic and cute! Pair the coat with a great pair of rain boots and stylish umbrella and you will step out looking like the weather was made for your wardrobe!
How do YOU stay stylish and dry with this wet and unpredictable weather? Happy spring showers to you all!

Interesting Kiwi DS site
For all you five Kiwi DS freaks out there.
Had some great DS between surfs the last couple of weeks at Castlepoint.
The DS site is on the saddle between 'the gap' and Christmas Bay, it is DSable both on a NE seabreeze and a Southerly....I was lucky enough to fly both winds.
Here are some interesting pics and info on the area from a thread I did in the AP forum a while back. The saddle is just to the right of the huge cliff in the background.
Here are some pics of the N and S slopes from the saddle.
Sweet! Next time im out there i'll take a look - i assume you cant front-side (cough) it there too?
I think i've seen a post of yours a few years back talking about "the 60" on the south coast of welly. You still hit that slope much? You tried front-siding the quarry face just by the owhiro bay carpark?
How do you drive to the top of it? Is that off the tip road? Need a 4x4 i assume.
I'm loving it guys! I have surfed at Castle point a couple of times in past years (once during an off-shore so strong you couldn't see the down the face until you stood up because of spray - you also had to be real careful bailing out because the wind would get under the board and it would take off and land somewhere next to you, or on you!) Anyway, this thread is meant to be about another great sport...
More NZ DS locations please! And general NZ DS stories etc.
I now live in Manchester, UK and have since learned to DS after meeting a bunch of really decent DS flyers here (good flyers and good blokes). One fine day I will return to Godzone permanently and I wouldn't want to waste any time on the ground . There must be hundreds of decent DS sites waiting to be flown in NZ.
Meantime, i'm heading back home in Feb and will be bringing back a couple of Reapers. One for me and one for one of my jolly good old chap Pommie mates.
Happy flying!
p.s. Photo of my first foamie (Canterbury Sailplanes 1.2m Jazz Extreme) is still flying. It's on its third cover job now after rebuilding it with grunty carbon spars. The original skinny spars snapped after I couldn't help wieghting it up and trying to DS it. Not what it's for I know. Thought you fellas would like the colour scheme though... (that's Manchester in the background, through the haze/smog/whatever it is we breathe here. Do you like the weather? Any day it's not raining is a good day)

DS zone
Nice vid there Alpine (apart from having to turn my monitor on its side )
Great views of Queenstown, that awesome ridge all to yourself and so many big ridges all over the region, people I know over here in the UK could only dream of such places (and me too! - i'm probably stuck here in England as a career prisoner until I retire, by which time I will have a container full of planes to bring home with me and keep me happy in Godzone)
Good thing you didn't do too many consecutive laps or your camera attachment would be seriously tested! Nice work giving it a go btw. I tried a FlyCamOne2 on my Mini-Blade, only frontside so far, but it did interfere with the airflow over the V-Tail, especially when I tried it sideways as you did. I wondered how it might affect my elevator authority 'down the back'. Obviously you were okay with your bird.
Keep those photos coming. It'll keep me, and probably many others inspired. Cheers!

Cool thanks. I have some cool video's coming. Just waiting for right wind direction. F3F Sting, Carbon Zipper, and D40. Should handle the job .... found some new sites !!!!!
Bugger about the snow in UK huh ?
Hey there Alpine (and other Kiwi DSers)
Have you flown again lately? I have just returned to the UK (Manchester) after spending all of Feb in Godzone in the Nelson area. I was there to get married, so I didn't bring a plane over or do any flying - no time/space etc. Next time I come home it will be purely for a holiday and fun, surfing, flying, fishing, eating, drinking...
I saw so many flyable hills and potential DS sites during my recent travels around the Nelson Lakes, Kaikoura and Blenheim it was awesome.
Meantime, I brought back a couple of Reapers. One for me and one for a mate here who I DS with. I'm building the Reaper now, then building an Opus MCT so i'll have two new toys to add to my quiver ready for summer . If I do make it back to NZ permanently I will have a good collection of planes to bring home.
Happy flying/DSing all
Haya HA...congrats on getting married in Godzone !
Been too much surf competing for the stick time lately but had a wee bit of frontside to keep from going completely rusty.
Nelson = Bulwer...check it out on GE
Looks good Boomer, but what a mission it would be to get there though! I noted a short ridge on the top of Pepin Island, about 20km NE of Nelson that would probably work (SW/NE winds). Next time i'm there I should have a plane and i'll give it a go. (My in-laws live in Hira, which is only 5mins from there).
Other spots around Nelson I observed:
Overlooking Nelson itself, a ridge that runs from the 'Centre of New Zealand', facing WNW and curves to the north to face NNW. I never managed to recce it but there looks to be various sections that could work. Next time...
I haven't worked out how to embed files on RCG yet to link you a .kmz location (no time right now) but other potential ridges in the Sounds include the French Pass Rd.
Stay stoked
I would love to do a DS road trip in NZ. There's so much waiting to be flown!

dat sounds crazy but i heard its good but only for ppl who like 2 run n gun so da good part is no campers
256 players in a single online match? Up to 5 hours? Sounds pretty epic.

dat sounds crazy but i heard its good but only for ppl who like 2 run n gun so da good part is no campers
i've been keeping an eye on this ever since GameInformer ran an article on it about half a year ago. it's been looking good and i'm hoping to get it.
Nah, da star. That's like the opposite. MAG is very unlike games like Halo or CoD. It's very tactical and if you try to run and gun you will probably do pretty bad.
The game doesn't really invent anything new, but it's a solid shooter that makes good use of what features it does have. 256 players in one match is an outstanding technical feat, no?
Just so you all have a frame of reference before going googly-eyed at the player count:
MAG leans more toward tactical shooter gameplay over the run-and-gun gameplay that is seen in Killzone 2, Modern Warfare, and Halo.
So while there ARE a lot of people capable of playing at once, it should be treated like a different breed from the typical online shooters...and this can oftentimes be enough to turn off the camp that prefers their Halos and Call of Duties.
Also, it's an online-only game. No single-player campaign.

well i bought this game a couple days ago, even after reading the average reviews it got (70 somthin on metacritic) but its suprisingly good! im a big fan of the sniping. im not too far in im a level 5 or 6 and have only got the 128 player modes unlocked but seriously, i have not experienced lag once in this game yet and thats a first for a PS3 title for me. i'd give this game a solid 8, it needs more map variety though. i could be wrong but isnt it just one map for each game mode?
Gamertag/PSN ID=SensesFailxWiix if you add me send me a message via console or wiichat
But I heard there were 9 maps total with 3 variants of each. Sounds a bit slim to me. Hopefully they'll support the game with more variety via DLC. Paid or not, it's just good to have that option available. (Free please? )
I've been stuck in lvl. 15 forever. I just got too, uh.. addicted to MW2. Then when I was going to start playing it again, I had to give a really long update and it always turns out as an "error code blah blah blah", so I haven't been able to play it for a while. :/

256 players sounds fun. but this is a tactical shooter like ghost recon and metal gear online right?

MAALE ADUMIM, Israel -- Britain and France threatened to recall their ambassadors after Israel announced plans to build on land Palestinian Arabs claim as part of a future Palestinian state.
Israel said it would build more than 3,000 new apartments in areas known biblically as Judea and Samaria.
Why is this land so important to Israel? CBN News' John Waaage, who has spent years covering the Middle East from our Jerusalem Bureau, explains following this report.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the announcement to protest the U.N. vote last week that granted non-member observer state status to the Palestinian Authority on these very lands.
Israel said the vote abrogated agreements the P.A. and Israel made to each other years ago in the Oslo Accords.
Netanyahu also said the P.A. "…was waging a struggle against the very existence of the State of Israel."
Some in Washington, D.C., wanted to cut funding to both the P.A. and the U.N., but the British and French governments objected to Israel's decision to build.
"We don't tell the British of the French where to build in Paris or London and we do not expect anybody to tell us what to do," Israeli Minister of Infrastructure Uzi Landau said. Another part of the controversy concerns plans to expand Maale Adumim, a Jewish community just outside Jerusalem with a population of more than 40,000.
Palestinians say geographically the expansion would create a land barrier breaking the continuity of their future state. For Israel, it would link this Jewish Israeli suburb to Jerusalem.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and many nations call the land "occupied" territory.
But Israel said the land is not "occupied" but "disputed" and that the nation has both a natural right and territorial claims on it.
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed a crowd in Ramallah after returning from the U.N. vote. He declared a Palestinian state and announced he would accelerate ways to reconcile not with Israel, but with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
He also promised "one day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the state of Palestine."
After the U.N. vote and Israel's response, once again the battle over the future and fate of Jerusalem is taking center stage on the world arena.

text: I definitely wanted to share my experience here about our weddingmoon. It was my very first time going to Jamaica. Your team is great. I loved the atmosphere and experience. We had a beautiful room with a great view. Your team treated my wife and me like a king and queen. Our wedding was beautiful. Our photographer Marva was great and gave us the most amazing photo shots. Our wedding planner Chantel was excellent and really took her time to make sure our wedding was not only individualized but amazing. We enjoyed hanging around your playmakers especially Hartlon with his great energy. Alfred made us feel very welcomed when we arrived. He was able to reassure us that are guests had also arrived safely for our wedding. Preacher Conrad gave us a beautiful ceremony. Jermaine also was waiting patiently to serve us and our guests at a ceremony. Everyone really went above and beyond for us and we wanted to mention their names. Our lives have changed and we want to come back. We also want to visit some of your other resorts, but we'll probably make Montego Bay HOME since that is where my sandals experience started. I hope you enjoy some of our pictures that I am sharing. You also got me listening to Bob Marley every dayyyyy. Bob Marley's music brings the island vibe back with me. We will definitely be back hopefully later this year or next year. Thanks for the wonderful experience and memories SANDALS!!!!!!!

The summer transfer window is ripe with speculation, but the truth is that the vast majority of those rumors never quite become reality.
No matter how much media attention they might attract, sometimes—for a slew of reasons—they just don't happen. And again, no matter how much we might protest to the contrary, we cannot make transfer deals take place between two clubs.
We've already seen a myriad of big-name transfer rumors this summer, ranging from Wayne Rooney to Edinson Cavani. Some of them have become reality (like Cavani's move to PSG), while others just don't seem likely to follow suit (like Rooney's proposed move away from Old Trafford).
Let's take a look at the hottest proposed deals this summer that just aren't going to happen.

I agree with Linda Stark's letter (Aug. 19) stating that government officials should sign up for the new health care plan. I am beginning to hear numerous similar sentiments, even from a few congressmen - John Fleming of Louisiana and Mike Rogers of Michigan to name a couple. They should be given medals!
I would suggest going a step further as proof of their good intentions. Let them all relinquish their health plan in favor of Medicare or, if not yet of that age, any good insurer used by private industry. Only AFTER they do that should they be allowed to even discuss, much less legislate, for us all.
This idea would be a good topic for a grass roots effort.

"It was a late callup, I got the call at about 12:30 a.m.," Grand Rapids coach Curt Fraser said. "He had to go back up. Ozzie's not ready yet, they need him for practice and the game tomorrow, so I think we'll miss him for a couple days here.
"But he'll be a welcome addition back, and we'll need him for this weekend."
Griffins captain Jamie Tardif left the ice midway through practice Tuesday morning with a leg injury and didn't return.
His status for this weekend is unknown.
"We don't know anything about what happened," Fraser said. "We think he might have just bruised his knee or something."

Examination of Apparent Transient Weight Changes
In Accelerated Chiral Crystals
by Nicholas A. Reiter13 October 2002
ABSTRACT: Previous experiments with optically active enantiomeric substances such as granular
sucrose, corn syrup, and L-tartaric acid occasionally produced evidence for a surprising and unknown phenomenon.
In samples weighing up to several tens of grams, milligram level temporary or transient alterations in the value
of apparent weight were noted. These transient weight changes occurred following either mechanical agitation or
directed electrical stressing of said substances. In this document, we continue characterizing this effect by
careful examination of alpha quartz crystals and other chiral crystals following known mechanical translations and
stresses. Relationships are found which include handedness of the crystal, crystal axes, direction of mechanical
stressing, amplitude, and orientation with respect to the earth's surface. We conclude with a discussion of our
characterization and possible useful candidate models invoking molecular level vorticity of physical space /
aether, or interactions with the quantum vacuum.
Repeated observations of unexplained transient weight alterations in sucrose crystals in early
2002 led to the consideration of whether such effects could be observed to a greater degree with materials with
even higher values of molecular chirality. Sucrose is generally considered a dextro-rotatory optically active
material. Typical values for sodium lines lie close to +65° per dm (concentrated aqueous solution).
When sealed bottles of table sugar sucrose were shaken or agitated for periods of up to 1 minute,
and then weighed, we often, although not always, would observe a transient deviation from the pre-agitation weight
by up to 2 to 3 milligrams. These weight deviations would generally diminish to zero (original pre-agitation
weight) within five to ten minutes. The observed deviation with table sugar was always in the direction of a
weight gain. This effect was observed using both manual and mechanical agitation, as well as digital and
mechanical laboratory balances in a climate-controlled environment.
Single crystals of sucrose weighing between .5 and 4 grams were procured and tested as well.
Crystals were vibrated, centrifuged, and linearly shaken over long trajectories. Frequent observations were made
of transient weight changes from .2 to 1.5 milligrams. However, we found sucrose to be problematic for several
For sucrose, the transient weight alteration of single large dry crystals was generally an
increase, although occasional weight losses were seen. Because of the above three problems, conclusions were hard
to pin down.
By summer of 2002, we had ascertained that other candidates of higher optical activity values
were certainly available. Several on-line resources were most helpful. Prominent among these was the incredibly
detailed discussion of chiral crystals for Eotvos experiments, posted by theorist and writer Alan M. Schwartz: http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm
All of the identified crystals may be considered chiral in nature, and generally seemed to have
values higher than sucrose for rotatory power at typical sodium wavelengths of light. Among these candidates
The clear winner from this list, for our purposes, was alpha quartz! Good quality natural quartz
points are readily available, and large cultured specimens are available as well for modest prices. The SiO4 ion
is well studied and the alpha quartz lattice has long been characterized for dimensions and properties. Alpha
quartz has been cited as having a sodium line optical activity of between 23 and 25 degrees per mm.
Several natural quartz points displaying recognizable handedness (by evaluation of minor facets),
weighing between 13 and 30 grams, were procured locally. Three left-handed points, and two right-handed points
were identified.
By oscillating or vibrating these crystals in similar fashion to the sucrose crystals, we indeed
found our predicted transient weight alterations. However, it soon became apparent that the effect - still
manifesting at the level of a milligram or two for the size of crystals involved- was highly erratic in its
appearance and reproducibility. Overall, we observed that more occurrences of transient weight alteration were
noted with the right-handed crystals.
In July of 2002, we additionally found evidence for a weight alteration effect that appeared to
manifest when a high voltage gradient was imposed on either left or right handed quartz, parallel to the optical
axis. By applying potentials of up to 3kVDC to a pair of foil electrodes, one at the crystal point, the other at
the base, we observed steady, voltage dependent weight changes of up to 5 milligrams. For right-handed crystals
with point upwards, this typically manifested as a weight loss. Interestingly, the effect appeared to be
independent of voltage polarity - orientation of the crystal axis, the electrical stress, and orientation of the
electrical stress seemed to be the dominant factors.
Another experiment may have shown evidence of an inertial anomaly occurring when a quartz point
was vibrated with an electromagnetic vibrator, and the load current of said vibrator was examined. A Teflon "dummy
load" mass of comparable weight was seen to cause a lower average current draw by the vibrator solenoid than when
a right-handed quartz point was substituted. The overall effect was small, constituting about a 5% increase in
solenoid current. However the implication appeared to be that an anomalous drag-like force was present with the
quartz; or that the quartz appeared to have a higher moment of inertia in a vibrating state than a non-quartz mass
of comparable shape and weight.
By August of 2002, we had settled into a series of long term repeating tests of both right and
left handed quartz points, accelerated in different manners under different conditions. We also ordered a set of
twelve high optical quality right-handed quartz crystal segments from Almaz Optics in New Jersey.
Experimental Results:
Manual Shaking: Right and Left Handed Natural Quartz:
For our experiments, we selected two quartz
crystals, a left handed natural point weighing 13.785 grams, hereafter designated as the LH crystal, and a right
handed point weighing 23.746 grams, hereafter designated as the RH crystal. See Photo A. (click pic to
For weighing purposes, we used our Stanton Unimatic milligram lab balance - a purely mechanical
balance with a grounded stainless steel weighing pan. (Calibrated - 1 milligram scale with useful resolution to .5
milligram). See Photo B. (click pic to enlarge)
A small aluminum foil cradle, allowing the crystals to be positioned either point up or base up on
the balance pan was fabricated, and added to the balance pan.
It had previously been observed that consistent weight alterations would occur following a
vigorous manual shaking, with the crystal placed in one hand, then jerked up and down rapidly to as great a
distance as the arm could sweep, keeping a linear path. There also appeared some hints of a dependence on the
direction of the primary accelerative motion of the arm. That is to say whipping the crystal by hand either
rapidly up or down, but keeping the accompanying return stroke linear and slow.
Therefore, we arrived at another variable for study - the character and direction of the manual
acceleration of the crystal. This was reduced to a quasi-standardized set of shake protocols, upward fast,
downward fast, upward slow, downward slow, and equal or reciprocating. All manual shaking is performed in an
air-conditioned lab environment, with anti-static latex gloves used. Manual shake distance was found to be very
close to 1 meter, though certainly varying to about 10 cm.
Over the course of three days, we performed an extended matrix of shaking and weighing trials on
our two crystals. Crystals were shaken in up, down, fast, slow, reciprocating, sideways directional shaking, and
random jerking motions. Crystals were shaken either point up, point down, or sideways. Finally, crystals were
measured on the balance pan in an either point up or point down orientation. A minimum of 10 minutes was allowed
between sequential shaking operations. At random points in the three-day series, a Teflon dummy mass was shaken,
with pre and post weights being noted. Results are shown in the table featured below:
The designation of "+/-0" indicates an observable but not significant deviation with the
corresponding sign (less than .5 milligrams).
The results of this test appear to be somewhat difficult to interpret, however in general we may
Manual Centrifuging of Natural Quartz Crystals:
A sling was constructed of about 1 meter of braided stainless steel strap 1/8 inch wide, with a
small plastic cup attached at one end. Both right and left handed crystals were placed into the sling cup, either
point "out" or "in" relative to the operator. 30 second centrifuging periods of about 40 turns, at about .75 meter
radius were used, in both vertical and horizontal planes.
This operation was found also to produce transient weight changes in the right-handed test
crystal, as well as lesser changes in the left-handed crystal.
For the right-handed quartz, we find that 1.0 to 1.5 milligram transient losses in weight occurred
when the crystal was centrifuged with the point in-ward (toward the operator's hand), but mostly null results were
obtained with the point outward. We also find that swinging the sling horizontally (parallel to the earth's
surface) gave primarily null results, however swinging in the vertical plane (perpendicular to the earth's
surface) gave the transient weight losses.
We find also that the left-handed crystal exhibited .5 to 1.0 milligram transient weight losses
when centrifuged in the vertical plane with the crystal point outward.
There did not seem to be an active relationship with the direction of swinging (CW or CCW) with
respect to the operator, however this has yet to be fully explored.
Testing of Cultured Quartz Crystal
As stated previously, we procured a set of twelve rectangular cross section square "slugs" or
tiles cut from high optical quality right-handed cultured quartz. These tiles were obtained from Almaz Optics in
New Jersey, and were received during the first week of October, 2002. (click pic to enlarge).
The tiles were cut to dimensions of 40mm x 40mm x 20mm thick. Minor faces were ground, with major faces (perpendicular to the optical axis) polished. Typical weight for each tile is approximately 85.5 grams.
Selected tiles are currently being put through directional shaking and centrifuging routines identical to those used for the natural quartz points. Thus far, we have observed transient weight change effects that appear to be of at least twice the magnitude of the natural points.
Another recent observation that will require much rigor in confirmation involves transient weight changes induced by heating or cooling quartz crystal tiles with a Peltier junction module.
During the initial testing of the cultured tiles, a vexing phenomenon appeared that had been observed previously since the very beginning of transient weight change experiments with granular media. While no mechanism or model can yet be ascribed to it, evidence suggests that the transient weight change effects in chiral materials are strongly influenced by outdoor prevailing weather conditions, even though our experiments are carried out in an air conditioned lab environment. While one must beware of pseudo-relationships, it has become apparent that on days when heat and humidity are high outdoors, the transient weight change effects become very minor or may vanish. This is difficult to explain in terms of artifact at the measurement source, as the temperature in the lab is typically controlled to within 1 to 2 degrees C and perhaps no more than 3 % change in relative humidity. On 7th October, the prevailing weather had changed radically to a very dry and cool condition. Likewise, on that particular morning, it was found that the transient weight changes for a particular crystal tile had improved, with weight loss magnitudes of 2 to 3 milligrams being seen easily.
With repeated observations over many weeks of time, we have seen evidence for an anomalous condition that appears when single crystals of a chiral or optically active nature are accelerated mechanically. Non-chiral or amorphous masses do not appear to exhibit the same property, at least not within the resolution of our measurements.
The anomalous condition appears to be a temporary or transient alteration of the apparent weight (given the abbreviation TAW) of the chiral mass, following a specific period of mechanical excitation. We can say:
As we have disclosed in several previous white papers on the topic, transient alterations of
apparent weight have been previously observed, however they have not been widely reported. By far the most
notable of these observations were those of N.A. Kozyrev and
Thomas Townsend Brown. In the case of Brown, TAW was noted
in fine granular media under the influence of friction or mechanical agitation. We have observed this phenomenon
as well, and have reported on it previously. Brown remained
entirely empirical in his approach and was never able to derive a viable theoretical model for his
Kozyrev placed his observations of TAW into his already existing theoretical model of Causal
Mechanics. One of the key features of Causal Mechanics was the existence of a physical time medium, analogous in
some respects to the more widely modeled aether. N.A. Kozyrev and his assistants observed TAW in achiral media,
and defined a surprising number of parameters and influences for the effect. Some of these we have confirmed,
others may have been observed by Kozyrev but were not reported. Still others reported by Kozyrev remain to be
tested by us! Most notable of the mutually observed factors were the definite influences of weather, season, and
time on TAW magnitudes.
More recently, we have considered the TAW in light of two general concepts: vorticity and
In the McMaster model and other physical space in-flow models, nucleons are considered analogous
to aether / space sinks - miniature black holes. However the truly strong influence on local flowing space is
limited to intra-atomic distances, or at most intra-molecular distances. Only when atoms are taken as an aggregate
does the composite inflow of space into mass become measurable, as an acceleration that we refer to as gravity. In
a chiral system, such as a quartz lattice or sucrose molecule, we may find that the helical arrangement of atoms
could be capable of producing and sustaining a secondary or higher order vorticity in the intra-molecular
We have used the analog of a pinwheel. When a childs pinwheel is swirled through the air, the
chiral and asymmetrical rotor is brought to a rotating state due to the force of air upon the blades. The rotation
of the pinwheel continues for a time, after the initial excitation is stopped. By oscillating chiral crystals
through space, could we be inducing temporary pinwheel vorticity in the regions of space bounded by the component
atoms of the helices? And we speculate further that perhaps these temporary larger or higher order vortices could
alter the natural converging flow of aether / space into the earth, or even into the chiral mass itself. This in
turn could conceivably manifest as slight alterations in apparent weight. It may be that the decay time of the
TAW equates to the decay time of the intra-molecular aether vorticity.
Our observation of the importance of crystal orientation during excitation tends to support the
aether pinwheel model. On the other hand, we admit that such factors as weather and time of day are hard to
reconcile with that model, as well as the unexplained enhancement of TAW effects arising in right-handed materials
over left-handed. Kozyrev did, however, feel that such factors fit into the framework of Causal Mechanics. Only
further experimentation will tell more.
We have also found some limited theoretical work describing the possibility of circular
polarization in the quantum vacuum. If this is so, we
speculate that perhaps chiral structures might experience drag forces in their translation through the vacuum
that achiral masses would not. Our cursory evidence for inertial anomalies exhibited by vibrating crystals would
certainly fit with this. However, it seems more difficult to reconcile the post excitation TAW effect. We would
be lacking an adequate explanation for the continued weight deviation noted through the five to ten minute decay
For the present time, our experimental objectives are focused on achieving greater magnitudes of
TAW, our goal being 100 milligrams of reproducible weight change. To achieve this, we have considered schemes for
applying more mechanical power to crystals, performing experiments at elevated or lowered temperatures, and
juxtaposing multiple crystals to form lens arrays. We also plan to try to take advantage of a phenomenon noted by
Kozyrev involving greater weight changes at specific frequencies of oscillation.
We would like to acknowledge the help, inspiration, and support of the following people and
parties: Dr. Harold McMaster, Lisa Hutchins, Dr. S.P. Faile, Alan M. Schwartz, Lori L. Schillig, and the technical
staff at Almaz Optics. This work has been conducted on behalf of The McMaster Gravity Research Foundation and The

As another turbulent New York Knicks season came to an end with the Heat's series-clinching 106-94 Game 5 victory in Miami on Wednesday, interim coach Mike Woodson and his players set out on an uncertain future.
The Knicks don't have any picks in this year's NBA Draft, eight current players aren't under contract for next year and the franchise is sure to be hopelessly over the salary cap.
Of course, the biggest question is Woodson's status, but his press conference after Wednesday's loss was too brief to address the subject.
In recent days, however, there has been a plethora of speculation, involving everyone from Woodson to former Knicks forward Phil Jackson to Kentucky coach John Calipari.
The New York Daily News' Frank Isola reported on Tuesday that the front office had initiated talks with Woodson and his representatives. Then Woodson responded by telling the media on Tuesday afternoon that no such talks had taken place. Marc Berman of the New York Post came back on Wednesday with a report that the Knicks have not reached out to Jackson, who they feel isn't interested in the job, and are prepared to offer Woodson a three-year deal.
But through it all, Woodson has kept the public support of the players.
"Coach Woodson has obviously done a phenomenal job since he's been here so it's really not my decision, but I support every coach that comes that coaches me," Amar'e Stoudemire said. "So I'm going to show Mike the same support."
"He took a team that was so up and down, and under his watch, I think, we had the best record in the league (18-6) for the time that he was coaching," center Tyson Chandler said. "He elevated the defense. I think we also had the number one defense (in terms of efficiency), so I definitely think he deserves it. Obviously I don't have the final decision, but, you know, if it was left up to me, you know, he would be my head coach."
The Knicks' roster has more question marks than the coaching staff.
Jeremy Lin is a restricted free agent, but since he has yet to accrue three seasons, other teams are prevented from offering more than the mid-level exception.
Assuming the Knicks give their MLE to Lin, that could allow J.R. Smith to sign elsewhere. Smith has a player option for next season, but since he can probably make more than $2.5 million (which is what the year is worth on the deal), it was assumed he'd opt out. And if that's the case, the Knicks would probably not be able to re-sign him
However, Smith told the media after Wednesday's loss that he hopes to stay with the Knicks, adding, "Next season starts tomorrow and hopefully we can keep as many guys as we can and be in a good situation."
Landry Fields and Josh Harrellson are also restricted free agents and are likely to return, but Steve Novak, Baron Davis, Mike Bibby and Jared Jeffries are all unrestricted free agents, and there's no guarantee any of them will ever play for New York again.
Davis, in particular, is probably done in New York after tearing his ACL, MCL and patella tendon in the Game 4 win. His rehab is expected to take 12 months.
The good news is that the front court is returning and should benefit from a full offseason, as opposed to the pseudo training camp that was crammed into the days between the end of the lockout and the beginning of the 2011-2012 season.
"Next year we'll be much better as a unit," Carmelo Anthony said. "Not just me and Amar'e. As a team, as a group, we'll be much better."
Tyson Chandler, the 2011-2012 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, is also eager for next season as well.
"It's unacceptable to me," he said of the first-round exit. "I didn't come here to lose in the first round. I don't plan on doing this, you know, in the future."
It's anyone's guess what the Knicks will look like next season, but the drama from the 2011-2012 season is sure to carry over into the summer.

June is National Cat Adoption Month but while many people are taking the pledge to add a new member to their family, it's currently not enough to make a difference in Santa Barbara County.
Local shelters are bursting at the seams with this month also being a very busy time with more kittens coming in.
So, there are two ways you can help shelters so they do not have to turn away any cats: adopt or become a foster parent.
Gina Sunseri, Senior Fire Investigator from the Santa Barbara City Fire Department, makes time in a very busy schedule to not only own an adult cat but also foster a trio of kittens from the shelter.
"It keeps them from growing up in a shelter or a cage, or in the wild where their survival rate is less than 50%," Sunseri said. "And fostering kittens in a home creates really happy healthy social kittens that people want to adopt."
This Saturday, June 27, there will be an adoption day at Ark Pet and Supply in Carpinteria. All kittens are normally $75 but will be 2 for 1 at the event. The kittens have been spayed, neutered, and have all vaccinations.
Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that takes care of the cats and kittens at the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter. ASAP provides humane care for these animals and works to eliminate the practice of euthanizing them for reasons other than serious health or behavior problems.

The Child Support Web is your portal to child support resources and news on the Internet. On this site you will find information about calculating and collecting child support, finding an attorney, getting help from the government and locating child support laws.
About Child Support
Child support consists of payments made by one parent to the other to support a child after divorce or on a finding of paternity. It can also include medical insurance payments as well as reimbursement for out-of-pocket medical.
Each state (plus the District of Columbia) sets its own rules for the support of children. No two states have identical laws, although there are similarities in the rules among the states. Most states take into account the income of both parents, then make certain deductions. One parent then pays the other an "equalizing" payment.
For information about your state, or about an issue (such as suspending driver's licenses), you can either use the "Search" box on the upper right of this page or use the "Categories" drop-down menu below the "Search" box.
About this Site
This site is an online resource and information portal for those who need information about child support. The site includes links to government offices, including guidelines pages and pages where you can calculate the amount of you should be receiving or paying. This site also publishes national and state child support news, plus articles written by family law attorneys.
The Child Support Web is an information clearinghouse. It is not designed to give legal advice, and what you read on The Child Support Web does not contain legal advice.

I like that, I really do.
Just wrote this in my blog and wanted to share (contains religious references, btw)
Recently I got into a debate with a close friend, who is concerned for my health, over my Primal Blueprint lifestyle. We talked about how in the scriptures, grain is ordained as the staff of life for man, and meat should be eaten sparingly. Honestly, this upset me, as I felt like I had been disobedient to the Lord somehow. I argued that eating the foods the Lord provided here on Earth was the way to go. That he put both flora and fauna on the planet to nourish and strengthen us. And what about those people with autoimmune disorders who can't have grains like those with Celiac's? She said "Yeah, but you're not one of those".
So later I talked it over with both my husband & my brother in law. I do have a metabolic condition (diabetes) that makes life without grains a healthier choice. Additionally, the grains that Joseph Smith ate when the Word of Wisdom was written are not the same as they are today. If people wanted processed grain, they went out to the field, harvested it, brought it home, and smashed it up by themselves. These days it's done for us, run through a machine, combined with a bunch of CRAP, and then force fed to us. There's a clear difference there.
I think it is more important to live healthy so we can be happy, because the Lord knows if we're happy, we'll be more focused on His plan and returning home to Him. "Ordained for man" does not mean you're required to do something. Ordained means it's there if you need it. It's APPROVED. A covenant, on the other hand, is a promise one makes between themselves and the Lord. I don't remember ever making a covenant with the Lord to eat grain and avoid the creatures he provided for my sustenance. I do, however, remember making covenants to harken to the counsel of my husband, dedicate my time and talents to the service of others, and take care of my body and its needs so that it can be a worthy temple to house the Holy Spirit.
Meat and fat is delicious, my friends, embrace it! The Lord's design on all creations is without flaw and unquestionable. He provided animals, fruits, vegetables, and so on, for our sustenance. Why, then, would he put fat and meat on animal if it were not to be exploited to our benefit? I know he put grains on earth, too... but he also put weeds down here to quelch out the living. I think of grain as a weed. If it makes me weak and wither, surely I should avoid it. I feel stronger and healthier without it. I wish everyone would view grain as a weed, to try Paleo & Primal and just see how they FEEL. Grain would not be the king of foods so much anymore. It would no longer be the staff of life, but more the serpent that slithers up and around it, choking out what would be a total healing of mankind.

I like that, I really do.
Remember, also, that a staff is a tool that props you up when you're weak and helps you cope.
These were early agrarian societies back then. Yeah, grains are going to be exceptionally important.
I'm admittedly not familiar with the Words of Wisdom, but only with the Protestant Old and New Testaments.
I can't think of any place in there where God encourages us to eat sparingly of meat. The closest I can think of is in Daniel, where the captive Hebrews chose not to eat the decadent food of their captors but to eat only pulses, legumes and vegetables and ended up healthier.
Can you point me to any references in the OT or NT, or do such exist only in Joseph Smith's writings?
Note: I'm not here for spiritual debate. The instant this thread goes that way, I'll not read it any more.
No prob! It's in the Book of Mormon, under the Word of Wisdom.
Here's basically what my friend & I were arguing about:
Doctrine & Covenants, chapter 89
12Yea, aflesh also of bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used csparingly;
13And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or bfamine.
14All agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15And athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16All grain is good for the afood of man; as also the bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—
17Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
18And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ashall receive bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;
There's more to it, like avoiding tobacco and strong drink, but that's the gist.
--Trish (Bork)
FOOD PORN BLOG! http://theprimaljunkfoodie.blogspot.com
Well written!
It's passages like that that make me wonder what is the word of God and what just makes sense at the time. Not trying to start a debate nor do I expect an answer, but I do wonder if some texts would read "Verily I say unto you that man should not eat the flesh of the swine at this time for the Lord thy God will not bestow refrigeration unto ye until such time as the icebox commeth" if writting with some prophesy.
I kind of picture a bunch of religous types sitting around saying, "People are sick again? Yeah, after eating the <whatever>. Yeah, it is getting ridiculous I agree. Huh? God said not to eat it huh? Where'd you hea...oh, burning bush? Classic. Lets run with that."
I'm a little cynical.
Good post though. It is interesting to see different thoughts at work. Personally I think God put meat here for us to enjoy. Nicely put.

Hi.. new to the forums. In my offtime I've recently been working on some ideas that I wanted to toss out there.. specifically I'm looking to know if what I'm doing has been done elsewhere. Not looking to try to reinvent the wheel if its been done.
Basically what I'm looking to do is create an enviornment in which objects persist, change, and evolve dynamically.. outside and independent of normal program flow. I've broken down an Object in my enviornment to 5 distinct features so far.
Metrics - Enviornmental information about any Object. An example... I'm looking to give Objects a decay time. If an Object hasn't been accessed within a certain time period... it gets unloaded on to disk and vice versa. I also want objects that have a lifespan. If they reach the lifespan.. the destructor is called and the object is destroyed.
Raw Data - Simply a chunk of data of a certain length that resides in the object.
Definitions - A definition will lay out the structure for a segment of Raw Data. This structure will be the location of its properties/methods, their name, and their size. Basically it'll act like a jump table into the Raw Data. An Object can have literally as many Definitions as you would like.
Input - This is the area dealing with Input to the object. By placing an object here.. the object then acts upon that Input changing it or using it in some way.
Output - This is the area dealing with Output to the object. A method can place 1 to N objects in output as needed.
To do this.. the enviornment would have two distinct databases. The Object Database and the Object Definition Database. Assuming a user needed an object the user would take a definition from the ODD and transfer it to the world whereupon a new object would be created based upon that definition. On creation an entry for it would be made and entered in the OD for it.
I know its a lot to take in.. but the root idea is that of persistant objects. Objects that don't go away, can be manipulated, and will change over time. Has anybody seen anything that really does this?
Re: Objects
Are you trying to implement it in the compiler or what? What you are referring to Metrics is somewhat related to Virtual Memory.
Re: Objects
Metrics are information universal only to objects. Like.. a name. When an object is created you give it a name.. but that name has nothing to do with any of the methods or properties that reside in that object.. its simply a moniker that the process that created it uses to refer to it by. Another would be access control. Who has access to this object and the rights to use it? Basically all stuff that the enviornment looks at when dealing with the objects and having nothing at all to do with what the object actually is(thats in the definitions/raw data).
I basically want objects to become independent of programs. Right now we have a situation where programs create and manipulate objects. The objects live for only the time that the program is active. What i'm looking for is objects that exist outside of any particular program, whose procedures can be called remotely, and do not die until their destructor is called. I also want these objects moveable and usable transparently across networks.

text: Every year, thousands of people camp on the shores of Lake Champlain, but very few actually spend a night on the lake -- especially in the heart of winter. Yet that is exactly what some dedicated anglers do on Missisquoi Bay, where the ice fishing can be as hot as the weather is cold. We hit the hard water of Missisquoi Bay on Lake Champlain to enjoy some exciting ice fishing for northern pike. And experience a comfy night on the ice thanks to Gilbert Gagne of Martin's Store in Highgate Springs where we rented our overnight accommodations. We also meet up with a group of anglers that have made spending the night on the ice an annual tradition.

Congenital alopecia, as evidenced by a survey of the literature, is one of the rarest anomalies involving the skin and its appendages. Total alopecia, according to Andrews,1 may develop suddenly or may be superimposed gradually on alopecia areata. The universal type generally affects middle-aged persons, although it may occur at any age. No mention of congenital familial alopecia is made in his text. Sutton2 mentioned congenital alopecia as a rare condition usually associated with other defects. Lack of normal development or absence of a majority of or even all the hair follicles was considered the responsible condition.
Chambers3 and later Thompson4 reported universal alopecia due to syphilis. The condition has occurred after scarlet fever5 and as a result of the extreme stress of living at the front during the World War.6 Joseph7 demonstrated that localized loss of hair may be due to an

September, the traditional start of the fall TV season, won't be bursting with new shows this year because of the long Hollywood writers' strike that ended Monday. But of the three major networks, NBC has a trump card to attract dispirited viewers: the Summer Olympic Games in Seoul.
Starting with the opening ceremonies on Sept. 16, and continuing for 17 days, South Korea will be the center of the sporting and broadcasting
universe. The dry spell on the other networks would seem to give NBC an unobstructed shot at a record audience. The pregame publicity campaign is already in progress and for the first time even home video is a part of it.

Altadena is an unincorporated census-designated place in Los Angeles County, California, approximately 14 miles (23 km) from the downtown Los Angeles Civic Center. The population was 42,610 at the 2000 census.
Benjamin Eaton first developed water sources from the Arroyo Seco and Eaton Canyon from the mid-1860s from his vineyard near the edge of Eaton Canyon. This made development of Pasadena, Altadena, and South Pasadena possible. He did the work for B.D. Wilson and Dr. John Griffin, who jointly owned the Mexican land grant of the Rancho San Pasqual, about 14,000 acres that comprised the future sites of the three communities. They hoped to develop and sell part of this in a real estate scheme called the San Pasqual Plantation.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! – North By Northwest
By Gary Kafer
It's often said that you know a Hitchcock film when you see it: the platinum blonde seductress, the motif of mistaken identity, the deployment of famous landmarks, and, of course, the oh-so-oedipal mother/son relationships. Cued in a majority of his movies, these integral elements not only produce groundbreaking moments of suspense, but also signal an auteur at work. It perhaps seems somewhat suspicious, or shall I even say sacrilegious, to consider myself a "film buff" without seeing his 1959 masterpiece North By Northwest, which screenwriter Ernest Lehman reportedly deemed: "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures."
