|Inductive Resistor Open source development of highly efficient inductive resistor circuits.
Available here: Bedini RPX Sideband Generator
|Thread Tools
Considering the NE555 output stage and its specifications, it has a 100ns rise and fall time when drives a load that has a maximum of 15-20pF capacitance.
In this setup here the power MOSFET type has at least 1500-1800pF capacitance between its gate source and switching speed must suffer towards the microsec speeds.
The series 100 Ohm in the gate circuit (or in case of Aaron the 1 kOhm potmeter) also works against the switching speed but without it it would be more difficult to make this setup self-oscillate. (This resistor tends to raise the gate impedance, this is one condition to regeneration, the frequency of which is the parallel resonant frequency of the drain circuit where mainly the inductance of the load resistor and the drain source capacitance constitutes a parallel resonant circuit.)
The reason I mention switching speed above is that without a relatively higher switching speed the flyback pulse is not likely to raise much, maybe some 200-300V, depending on also the resistor self inductance of course V=L*(dI/dt). This means it is very far from any breakdown if the MOSFET ratings are in 900-1000V range.

I saw this diagram and it looks very similar to what Aaron is portraying ....

Interesting information ..... there's that pesky ground connection again .....
Best Regards,
Hi Harvey,
On all these Fuji mosfets and other similar ones in the series. I cannot find one single reference to repetitive-avalanche. There is however, very clear specs only on non-repetitive avalanche.
So it appears there can be avalanche in a mosfet without it being repetitive and being "avalanche proof" seems to indicate that these mosfets can only handle non-repetitive avalanches. Therefore, it seems to me that avalanche and oscillation do not go hand in hand because otherwise, what is the point of a non-repetitive avalanche? And from the datasheets I see, if it is repetitive it will be listed as well as the non-repetitive specs.
Perhaps someone can ask TK to demo his mosfet and show on the scope that particular mosfet oscillating at over 100kHz - overlaid on the timing duty cycle and frequency.
If TK's recommended mosfet can show oscillation or that there can be some datasheet found somewhere that indicates repetitive avalanche in addition to non-repetitive avalanche, I'll change the notation on my schematic, will change my post about not using TK's mosfet and I'll edit my post at ou.com

But there are 2 Things, i still miss.
Once, there been nowhere the Claims, that the Batteries still should get loaded.
It is more about, to create Heat, charging up the Batts, seems should be a Extra Effect.
And second is, that at this 'Proof' for COP 17,
there is never included, to calculate the Heat what is created with the Amount of used Energy.
Only do the measurements across the Shunt. That still dont sounds right.
But well, our Experts what we got here surely know, what they are talking, maybe?
Anyway. i got few of this Transformers from Microwaves, catched few from a Junkyard, they are not to hard to get.
From this boths Coils i get nice Zaps even from a 9V Block, so they still can generate Power.
And please, let the Argument stick, its only transformed Current, i do know that allready.
And about the Magnets is the same, what i found out lately too.
When you put a Magnet between a connection, it can inprove the Current what is running though,
but it depends at the Place, where you put it, and wich Direction the Poles face too.
Its like, as if the PMfield push the Current, and let me guess, i think, North, did face to Minus, like Current usual create the EM Field.
Theorizer are like High Voltage. A lot hot Air with no Power behind but they are the dead of applied Work and Ideas.
Repetitive Avalanche Rated Mosfets: HEXFET III
Here are your four finds:
Fairchild Semiconductor - FQH8N100C
Fairchild Semiconductor - FQAF11N90C
International Rectifier IRFPG50
ST Microelectronics STW9N150
On Harvey's post about HEXFET III: A New Generation of Power MOSFETs, the entire table at the top of page 2 are all Repetitive Avalanche Rated Mosfets!
Keep in mind too, that as I understand Rosemary's claim, it has to do with conserved energy in the load resistor being stored at the point of manufacture, and that it would leak into the field and add to it resulting in a breakdown of the load resistor. Please correct me if I am wrong here.harvey
EDIT Harvey I keep missing you. Time zones? Whatever. Very happy with that first sentence.
ANOTHER EDIT. I just keep coming back to that sentence. I think it's a first. Just so chuffed.
Last edited by witsend; 08-02-2009 at 05:11 AM.
Thanks for your input.
I have a few questions if you don't mind.
Is there a 555 version with faster rise time for higher capacitance load?
What about using the 555 to trigger a piggyback transistor like some darlington arrangement or something on the mosfet or would that be redundant and actually slow it down. I can sent the output of 555 thru a h11d1 isolator if necessary.
Actually the series resistor at the gate is a 1K variable pot. With zero resistance the switching time is much faster and the spike is quite a bit more.
However, on the applied field of the coil.... when power is turned off, nature brings it to equilibrium and we get the collapsing spike but the spike doesn't stop at the ground or zero. It goes thru the floor way negative. Nature then tries to bring the negative spike to equilibrium and sends it to zero but it doesn't stop there it goes positive and repeat until it rings down to zero. I'm sure you know this but just to illustrate.
On my scope pic with zero resistance, the positive spike that follows is pretty big and that repeats kind of in a rough manner. With just a bit of resistance, it brings that down until there is a very clean negative spike and then very symmetrical ringing afterward.
Again, with zero resistance, the spike is like you say, able to go to a few hundred volts. With some resistance, I can get the spike to 4 times the battery voltage or around 100 volts without having any positive spike going above the battery...just nice smooth symmetrical ringing.
Do you see any way around this limitation? Or a way to enhance what I'm already doing with the 555?
Do you see any way around this limitation? Or a way to enhance what I'm already doing with the 555?[/quote]
Hi Aaron,
Have you tried a neo magnet in different parts of this circuit yet?
I think you can figure out where placing that, might have an influence on the circuit.Just a thought .
Time Zones
Still thinking on your original theory and a solid way to substantiate it that would be palatable to mainstream academia. We may find it useful to use something like the BatCap line Super Cap SuperCap 100 that can be charged to a very specific known value and then dump that through an inductor into another empty SuperCap. By choosing values that support a resonant action, the two SuperCaps should charge each other alternately until they are balanced. In that process, any lost energy should manifest itself as heat in the inductor. Using someone's idea from the forum here, place the inductor in an oil bath and monitor the caloric differential. After enough runs, solid data should emerge that would show both the gains and structural decay. I would guess that at least 20 or 30 runs would be required at a minimum. In this way, we wouldn't be introducing other uncontrollable variables, like battery chemical reactions, spurious oscillations, thermodynamic issues in the control circuits etc. It would be simply two very large capacitors and an inductor in a tuned resonant tank circuit. Put the known energy in one and let it ring until both are balanced. If energy escapes from the inductive structure into the field in your existing circuit, it should be measurable as well in this test - I think
Well, there is the CMOS version of the NE555, it is the LMC555CN or TC555C or TLC555C, see data sheet on the first: http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LMC555.pdf
It has a 15ns fall and rise time output driving capability but still at 10pF load capacitor so it is much better than the bipolar IC version but still not enough.
The remedy can be using dedicated MOSFET driver chips for the job like you may see here for instance: Special Function IC's - Microchip - TC4420CPA
It is able to drive even a 10nF capacitive load and has a 25ns rise and fall time when the capacitive load is 2.5nF.
(One notice though: if you wish to use these types than you have altered the original Rosemary circuit.)
There is no other good solution at the driver side besides the fast dedicated drivers (they are designed specially for this purpose), if you consider using optocouplers (h11d1) then you certainly make backward steps, this type is way too slow. Again, there are faster optocouplers but they are more expensive than a MOSFET driver.
Regarding the rest of your thoughts and findings. In conventional gate driver circuits the inserted series resistor in the gate (usually a few tens of Ohm like 33 or 47 or max 100 Ohm) is expected to reduce any condition for oscillation, or limit a little the gate driving current which flows when the nanofarad capacitor of the gate-source is charged and then discharged, during the ON and then the OFF switching sequencies.
So the role of this resistor here is controversial, it would be good to know the original aim of the team with this resistor.
I have just seen your answer in poynt99's thread where the function of the series 100 Ohm potmeter becomes explained by the Rosemary team.
However you wrote: "...there are mosfets specifically designed to self-oscillate as there are mosfets that are designed to specifically not oscillate. When it oscillates, it may encounter avalanche." I can only agree with your second statement (When it oscillates...), the first cannot be true.
rgds, Gyula
@guyla timing signal and oscillation
I'll look into the other 555 and even the dedicated driver. Peter told me about them. I never had a need for them. I'll experiment with that later after more work on the replication.
A faster optocoupler is something I'll look into as well. Thanks!
So you agree that when a mosfet is in oscillation, that is may encounter avalanche.
My first statement has 2 parts.
The first is that there are mosfets that are made to allow for oscillation - as it is implied by the fact that some mosfets do oscillate.
The second is that there are mosfets that have built in safeguards against self-oscillation. I posted numerous industry references discussing this safeguard feature against self-oscillation - which they say also prevents "false triggering". There are a lot of references to this in the datasheets, etc...
Do you disagree with both of those?
If you disagree with the first part, then I can say there are simply some mosfets that oscillate as this would be a fact.
With the second, I can find the post in this thread that I put with references to various sources discussing mosfets with anti-oscillation protection built in.
Please let me know,
I think you suggest a good idea on using the Farad value capacitors. Though normally the energy transfer between two caps involves a 50% loss, this loss can be reduced significally by tactically choosing the component values, like member poynt99 has pointed out in his earlier pdf file at overunity.com, though even a 50% loss could be tolerated in the case here, being the claim of COP of 17 or higher.
(by the way I suggested the oil bath test you remember )
Thanks, Gyula
results are the bottom line
rgds, Gyula
batteries vs caps
As far as caps, etc... anyone is free to try what they want but a new thread should be started for that.
It is also known that the battery is crucial in showing high gains with this circuit. Batteries simply should be used for any replication attempt with Rosemary's circuit with the goal of over 1.0 COP.
It cannot be gotten away from... the fact that batteries have properties in their chemistry that allow gains to be realized in a way that caps cannot. It is not the same thing.
I Have already done a self running circuit that runs on caps attached to a single ground rod that delivers zero current.
YouTube - Self Running Bedini Oscillator
So I have experience with oscillating switches and transferring potential from one to the next with a positive gain instead of a loss. when meeting a balance with the impedances between the caps and coil, the charge stays right where it is at. I give a little bit of charge to one cap and then it just keeps going.
The same is possible with batteries.
From experience, I will say batteries must be used for the gains for this circuit. If anyone wants to do it with caps, I've already done some tests with caps on this circuit. Use batteries, that is the only way to replicate this circuit.
Speaking for the newbies
And myself,
Can someone savvy with this circuit pls do a video demo a la gotoluc for this circuit?
And why is everyone hung up on mosfets?
Love and light

Above you see the List from which one has the Effect.
Aaron did allready a Video, about how to bring the Mosfet into oscillation.
I play around right now with some Mosfets, got my IRFPG50, but still have no Resistor.
Just can play around with a Pot Heatelement or coils.
But so far as i ve seen, the Load at Minus Side must be adjusted with a Resistor at the Drainside, seems for me, the Ratio is about 1:2,5.

Dynamic Plasmatic Magnetic Fields
From Rosemary :
My model is somewhere in this thread. Can someone point it out? You're welcome to try and understand it - but if you do, it'll be a first. I think there's a link at the start of this thread. Way way back.
Let me know what you think.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rosemary !
I still haven't seen your 'model'.
A friend recently suggested that I look at the Keshe' Model - discussed in his new book & website : Welcome to the Keshe Foundation website
"One of the topics discussed in this book is that how Matter, Antimatter and Dark Matter are created in the universe. What scientists at present call elementary particles (like quarks and so on) are themselves in fact collections of smaller magnetic fields, which in group as dynamic plasmatic magnetic fields and their interactions with other dynamic plasmatic magnetic fields, lead to creation of quarks and so forth.
Where in fact, what is called the mass of the quark, this in reality is created through the same method as the mass of any other object in the universe and is purely due to the interaction of constituent plasmatic magnetic fields within the center of the Matter. "
Let me know what YOU think.
Mike Hingle
Hi Mike - I sort of rabbit on about the model in a separate thread here. - Magnetic field model? You could try that. It's not exactly oversubscribed by way of readership. But I sort of hoped to make things more understandable.
I love your expression of 'talking in tongues'. Very funny. That's exactly what I feel like. There have been some really rude comments about the model generally - but some of them quite witty. It's not exactly popular. The model deals with the dark force- dark energy but it's sense remains as black as midnight. My children say that the general understanding of the model is advanced in inverse proportion to the number of people who read it. The cheek!
Anyway - you're welcome to try it out. I'm in the unhappy position of being fairly certain that it's on the right lines. But if it cannot be understood that hardly helps anything at all.
Rosemary !
Here's Keshe's page describing his model :
Plasmatic Magnetic Fields and SEPMAF's (Specific Entangled Plasmatic Magnetic Fields)
Plasmatic Magnetic Energies combine to SEPMAF's
Enjoy !
Mike Hingle
Mike OK just read it. It's not the same thing at all. I have another thing proposed going on here. Just magnetic fields that only interact with other magnetic fields. In effect all matter shaped and moved by these fields. We see the effects in the 4 forces. But it's just one force.
And 3 basic stable particles just composites of these particles that make up the field. So. Just 1 particle - a magnetic dipole - and everything expressed with this. A 10 dimensional binary system.
But there are those readers who do not need to know about the model. Apologies to them. I'll desist from here on.

& our government hijacked by special interests, I have been, like many other creators,
imprisoned & monitored in my home & denied the opportunity to have a normal prosperous life,
because the value of my creativity would disturb the Old Thief's market.
Amazingly, all these people believe they are morally right to live this way !
Yes, I too have "models" of high COP magnetic energy generators,
& many other energy conservation & energy production systems,
as well as transportation, health, & clean & clean-up environmental technologies.
You keep asking me what is it I do.
My work is simply described as R&D to do God's will,
i.e. to create a living environment here "on earth as it is in heaven".
& "to keep on seeking that which is well-pleasing in God's eyes"
that will be allowable in His kingdom here on earth.
All else is a bunch of useless, time wasting, "yaba daba doo" (tounges) distructive hogwash.
Many others among us are also realizing that this is their passion & life career.

I've had a good laugh here. Still not sure that you're not an evil attoney. But I'll hold my tongue. - In fact all of them.
EDIT - I think you want to know more about cold fusion? Definitely off topic. But if you can drudge through a few more weeks? Maybe there'll be something on offer to justify some further investigation of all such. We all hope so, in any event. Love your posts by the way.

Aaron, Assuming you are saying that the gain will be shown in the battery, exactly how do you intend measuring a gain in your test battery? Rosemary set out a suggested procedure in an earlier post which I commented but I have not seen your response yet. Do you agree with me that the test needs to be repeated until the calculated COP ceases to fall and stabilises? I'm not trying to disrupt things here, as I'm sure you will know from load testing batteries used on Bedini systems how important this is to get meaningful results. I see no evidence of this having being done in Rosemary's test report. I have taken system COP's as high as 15 on the initial run but they all eventually fall under unity, once the batteries have lowered and stabilised as much as possible in internal resistance. This can take many cycles to achieve. Please don't ignore this just because you think I'm a trouble maker. I'm trying to help you get accurate results that can hopefully convince the authorities that matter.

I'd suggest that if you eat out on day X, whatever that may be, there's no particular point crunching numbers for that particular day.
We have move to Thailand for a few months, so most of my meals come from various Thai restaurants (at least twice a day).
I would like to check things in Fit Day, but where can I find nutritional data for restaurant thai food? I have found some data, but they all include rice which I don't eat (paleo with a weekly cheat day)
Any ideas?
I'd suggest that if you eat out on day X, whatever that may be, there's no particular point crunching numbers for that particular day.
To the OP - the best you might be able to do is guesstimate the various ingredients and put those in individually. So if you're having a curry you could say 1 c coconut milk, 4 oz chicken, 2 oz vegetable a, 2 oz vegetable b, etc. But even that's going to be tough since you're going to have to try to guess quantities from a dish that's already prepared (easier if it's just meat with veggies on the side, somewhat more difficult if it's all mixed up like in a curry).
"Sometimes, you need to make sure the angel on your shoulder has a wingman." -Me
My primal log
Yeah there is no way you're going to get anything close to accurate nutritional data. I hope you have some opportunity to cook your own food.
The great thing is that Thai food can be VERY primal! Authentic Thai food is very healthy. Have you considered giving up control over your diet and just trying to eat generally healthy for the few months you are there?
PS: Better to be eating rice than to take a weekly "cheat day". Why bother tracking if you're going to cheat once a week?
I also live in Thailand, and have done for many years. If you're new to the food, you may want to be aware that Thai's usually cook with LOTS of MSG, lot's of refined salt and LOTS of sugar. It's not quite as healthy as people might imagine!
If you want no MSG you have to ask for 'mey ow pomshulot' (not want MSG) and also, 'mey ow roddies' kind of roll the 'r' on that one... ( not want stock cube) which also comes full of MSG. Once you take both those out, you will probably find Thai food to be incredibly bland!
Sugar comes in everything. Orange juice, smoothies, even rice is sometimes cooked in it. 'mey ow namtan' (not want sugar).
Sometimes, even asking for those ingredients will still get you them. Just like asking for no chilli... it just means you'll get a little 'less' - but Thai's believe that you have to have them in there for the taste, so will put it in regardless!
Watch out for aluminimum cookware. Lettuce is pretty much all hydroponic grown - don't think Grok did that... Oh, and a lot of vegetables and fruits and full of pesticides! Do a bit of research on the worst offenders. There are lots of studies that show extremely high levels on some foods - and some ingredients now are not allowed to be exported to the UK due to this reason. There are a couple of supermarkets (depending on where you are) that carry organic produce, and lots of organ meats, fats, and ingredients. Royal Project produce can also be good.

WARREN - Jamal Wright, 19, of Warren and formerly of Akron, pleaded not guilty this morning to a charge of murder stemming from the shooting death of a 17-year-old southwest side Warren girl.
Wright is facing a charge of murder with a firearm specification and third-degree felony charge of weapons under disability. He is being held in Trumbull County Jail in lieu of $2 million bond.
Wright is scheduled to appear in court again Wednesday before Common Pleas Judge W. Wyatt McKay.
Wright is accused in the July shooting of Zeboney Bess of 2520 Kenwood St. S.W. Bess was gunned down about 10 p.m. in the middle of the street less than a half-mile from her home.
Family members said Bess received threatening text messages from someone with whom she had been in a relationship. She was on her phone arguing with a caller when she was shot, police said.
Police said the shots were fired out of a dark-colored sport utility vehicle that drove past her. She was left lying in the middle of Hamilton Street with a gunshot wound to the head, police report stated.
She was taken to Trumbull Memorial Hospital and flown by helicopter to St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, where she died.

- Description
DetailsCarve an Old World Santa ornament combining two different styles of wood carving. The face is carved in traditional full relief and the beard and areas around the hat are carved in a pierced relief fashion. This adds texture and interest, creating negative space also adds dimension and lends a nice flow to the carving. The small size of this project also cuts down on the investment of time and is a great way to build confidence in creating realistic facial features before tackling larger carvings. In this project Mark pays special attention to the details of the carving process enabling the viewer to readily understand and grasp the woodcarving techniques shown.

Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz has been scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday night with a nose injury.
Matusz bruised his nose while bunting during batting practice on Tuesday. He was supposed to start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, but was moved back in the rotation to Friday.
Matusz says he feels fine and could have pitched if needed against the Pirates, but he was pushed back after a discussion with manager Buck Showalter.
Matusz says he's feeling a small measure of pain, but added, "I should be fine for Friday."
Jake Arrieta will start Wednesday for the Orioles. Arrieta was demoted to the bullpen after his last start and will be throwing on four days' rest.

BERLIN CENTER-All season long, senior forward Aleah Whitacre had been a part of the starting lineup for the Columbiana Clippers. However, in an effort to light a fire under her, coach Ron Moschella chose to begin Whitacre on the bench in the biggest game of the year at first-place Western Reserve.
By the end of the night, the strategy paid off handsomely.
With the Clippers trailing by two and in need of offense, Whitacre scored all eight of her points in the final six minutes and grabbed eight rebounds to spark Columbiana to a 38-29 victory.
The Clippers improve to 11-1 overall and 7-1 in the Inter-Tri County League lower tier, pulling into a first place tie with the Blue Devils (9-4, 7-1) who took the first meeting in December.
"The benching definitely made me mad, but I know coach had a reason to do it," Whitacre said. "I believed he knew what he was doing, accepted it and came out and played hard tonight."
With the Clippers trailing 27-25 early in the third quarter and Western Reserve playing their usual brand of hard-nosed defense, Whitacre went to work, giving the Clippers the lead for good when she made a shot under the basket, was fouled and made the free throw. Mollie Donnelly ran the lead to four with a corner three and a minute later, Whitacre came up with her second three-point play to widen the lead to 34-27 with three minutes left. Whitacre capped her effort with a critical defensive rebound with under two minutes to go.
"Aleah needed to start playing with an edge, and she played with a big edge tonight," Moschella said. "She made some huge plays for us down the stretch."
"We really needed some points and had to work together to get them," Whitacre said. "I just happened to be the one shooting."
Donnelly also came up with a big effort for the Clippers, connecting on three three-pointers for a game-high 13 points to go with six rebounds.
"I thought Donnelly's three in the fourth quarter was a huge play," Western Reserve coach Steve Miller said. "That gave them some room and we followed with some bad turnovers."
For most of the game, the Blue Devils had the Clippers playing their preferred slow, grinding style. For the second straight game, the Western Reserve defense was able to stall the high-powered Clipper offense. Aleah Hughes led the Blue Devils with 11 points and nine rebounds, while Rachel Maslach had 10 points. The Blue Devils are the only team to hold the Clippers under 50 points this season.
"We have to hang our hat on defense," Miller said. "We believe we have the best defense in the league and we did what we wanted to do tonight, they just have up with some big plays at the end."
Miller wound up lamenting the Blue Devils missed opportunities at the free throw line. Western Reserve normally shoots 70 percent from the line, but was only 5 of 14.
"If you leave nine points hanging out there in a game like this you are in trouble," Miller said. "I thought that was a huge difference."
Nevertheless, four straight Maslach points had given the Blue Devils their two point lead with six minutes left and ignited the crowd. Most of the night, Moschella had shelved his usual press defense and sat back, For the rest of the game he turned his players loose in a full court press. While Whitacre and Donnelly handled the scoring, the Clipper defense held the Blue Devils scoreless until the final minute.
"We did a good job in the half-court defense, but it was time to force the issue," Moschella said.
"Saving the press for the end was a good strategy," Miller said. They did it all game in December and we were ready for it. Tonight I think not seeing it most of the game caused our guard to be let down on a few crucial possessions."
With the two teams now deadlocked, both took pleasure in the intensity of the night.
"It's a lot of fun to be tested," Moschella said. "They can really play basketball, I told our players win or lose this is what it is all about. We have to keep up this focus the rest of the year, we can't count on them losing."
"I figured it was going to be a war and it was," Miller said. "It was a night every athlete should experience. The important thing is we are still tied, our destiny is still in our hands."
Columbiana won the jayvee game 45-34. Sydney Miller had 11 point for the Clippers. Maddie Kreitzburg had 14 for Western Reserve.
Game notes
The Blue Devils are the only team to hold Columbiana under 50 points this year.
"Nobody that I know of teaches hard defense like Miller in the ITCL," Moschella said. "The players really buy in."
The Clippers played the entire physical night with six players.
"Our girls are in great condition," Moschella said. "Stamina was not a problem.

9ers defense gave-up a 114 QBPasser rating to the Falcons, worst IN HISTORY for a road winning defense, not my perception. Reported on ESPN.
Ravens manhandled the Pats by 15 while the 9ers escaped against the same quality team according to NFL Advanced stats the Falcons by 4 pts while giving-up 114 QBPasser rating while the Ravens gave-up a 62 QBPasser rating to Brady.
So your more impressed by a team that gives up a record performance to it's opponent .............................interesting outlook there .................................................................

As he walked among almond trees in central San Joaquin Valley orchards in mid-April, Jim Wagner liked what he saw.
"Overall, I'm pleased with the size of the crop and the lack of disease," he says. "Growers are doing a good job."
He also credits bees for doing their part during pollination. "They came to California looking pretty strong. Judging by the number of nutlets on the trees following bloom, we got a lot of performance from the bees this year."
A PCA with Wilbur-Ellis at Hughson, Calif., Wagner works with almond growers in Stanislaus and Merced counties east of Highway 99, from Modesto to Merced. He also farms 5,000 acres of almonds in this same area in partnership with two producers.
Because of above-normal rainfall and below-normal temperatures during bloom, the normal fungus disease threats at this time, including brown rot, shot hole and jacket rot, have been a major concern. But efforts by growers to limit damage were successful.
In most cases, Wagner reports, they made fungicide applications two or three times during bloom. Those applications often also included foliar feeding of the trees with nutrients such as calcium, zinc, boron and phosphorus.
That was prompted by the cold, very damp ground, which tends to inhibit fertilizer uptake by the tree roots. As the weather and soil warm, growers are now putting fertilizer on the ground.
Next month, they'll begin ramping up insect control programs. May is an opportune time to spray for peach twig borer and to make the first miticide application of the season, Wagner notes. Also, that's when growers will begin navel orangeworm protection programs, if necessary.

In April 1987, Slobodan MILOSEVIC, who had been elected Chairman of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Serbia in 1986, travelled to Kosovo. In meetings with local Serb leaders and in a speech before a crowd of Serbs, Slobodan MILOSEVIC endorsed a Serbian nationalist agenda. In so doing, he broke with the party and government policy, which had restricted nationalist expression in the SFRY since the time of its founding by Josip Broz Tito after the Second World War. Thereafter, Slobodan MILOSEVIC exploited a growing wave of Serbian nationalism in order to strengthen centralised rule in the SFRY. 77. In September 1987, Slobodan MILOSEVIC and his supporters gained control of the Central Committee of the League

A timeline history of Shoes and Fashion
The 1980's:
The 1980's were as materialistic as materialistic as you can get. The economy boomed, people were living longer and acted younger. The Berlin Wall came down, privatization began to take hold and suddenly greed was good. Women entered the corporate world by the droves and the youth culture which dominated the last two decades took a back seat to the dominant market of older and more financially secure individuals. The DINK and the YUPPIE were born and shopping malls started sprouting up everywhere to cater to this new luxury mind set.
back to top
Women, now in the corporate world had to dress the part. Thus the new trend of the so called Power Suit. Want to be taken seriously ladies? Get out your dark business suit with the gigantic shoulder pads. It's that easy.
<Left: Mystery woman with 1980's shoulder pads.
And to compliment those gigantic shoulder pads one must have gigantic hair. The bigger the better. Tease it, mousse it, spike it, color it and glitter it. It didn't matter as long as it was big, big, big.
Right: Big 80's hair>
Big prints and big bright colors. Everything big was good in the eighties. Isn't that when the dreaded stirrup pants came into being? And leg warmers? Headbands ala Pat Benetar, parachute pants, satin jackets and bangle bracelets?
<Left: Pretty in Pink. 1986. Molly Ringwald, John Cryer & Andrew McCarthy.
How about the Madonna thrift store fashions? I will admit to wearing NONE OF THE ABOVE despite the fact there is photographic evidence to the contrary.
back to top
To go along nicely with the serious power suit one had to have serious shoes. Shoes that mean business. Shoes that screamed out professional with every step you took. Hence the sling back court shoe with the pointed toe and slender heel. Because nothing says professional like a sling back except I always found sling backs to be hard to walk in but maybe that's just me. It's hard to look professional when you're tripping over your own feet. I should have stuck with the loafers and man-styled oxford pumps which were also great accompaniments to the power suit.
Right: 80'S Disco Pumps
Pink faux leather and 4 inch spike heel.>
And for all you non corporate types, let me introduce the ankle boot with the pointed toe. Went great with the stirrups. Not that I would know anything about that.
back to top
Women wore power suits while men's fashions snapped right back to conservative land, forgoing all that nonsense in the 60s/70s. Big square suit jackets, and the advent of the micro thin tie. And big bold patterned shirts and sweaters.
<Left: Oh, and the Miami Vice pastel colors. But that is probably best forgotten.
back to top
To go along with their conservative-land wardrobe, Men wore conservative and classic shoes. No surprise there. The oxford. Check. The brogue. Check. And the loafer. Check.
Right: ROGANI BRUNO e FRANCO brown laced shoes>
Which all came in the most fashionable array of crazy colors like black and brown. Oh, and brand named sneakers? I think kids were killing each other over them. Come on People! Everyone knows Manolo Blahnik's are the only shoes worth dying for.
What? You want
to see the fashions and shoes of the 1990's and 2000's? Go look in your closet! If you're old enough to read this, then you are old enough to remember what you wore!

Many of us know that issuing plotting commands produces various kinds of plot data structure, the details of which are documented on the plot,structure help-page. That page covers most of the details, and a thorough read can reveal that the numeric data of a plot is often stored within such structures as either Array or Matrix.
But what about the result of a call to plots:-densityplot , a 2D plotting command? If you call the relatively new plottools:-getdata on the resulting structure then the only tabular part recognized is an mxn Matrix in the GRID portion of the structure. Inspection of that Matrix, however, shows that all the entries are equal -- it is actually inconsequential to the displayed density plot.
So, where is all the data which specifies the coloring in the densityplot? It turns out that it is stored in an m*n-by-3 Array with double-precision datatype=float[8], and that this Array is in the COLOR portion of the plot structure.
Those dimensions might remind you of the three m-by-n layers that ImageTools uses to represent an uncompressed raw image, inside m-by-n-by-3 Arrays. Two natural questions are: are these forms related, and can you convert from one to the other?
The answer to both those questions is yes.
First, let's go from density plot to image. The visual mismatch in sizes of what is displayed below is primarily on account of how Maple chooses by default to show them in a worksheet, and isn't so important. What is more important is that the two structures contain the same numeric data, and can be made to represent the same number of pixels in an image, and that they can be displayed with the right aspect ratio. The aspect ratio we can change at any time, easily enough, and the ranges passed to the densityplot command are useful for that.
This is as good a time as any to mention display of ImageTools "images" in a worksheet. The ImageTools:-Preview command converts the image to a 3D density plot, and inserts that with a convenient straight-on orientation which happens to look as if it were a 2D plot. That's why it shows as smaller, because that's just what Maple happens to do with 3D plots.
This particular example is just an illustration of the concept. Without too much effort someone might turn this conversion into a robustly behaving procedure. (No points awarded for coming up with an example that needs a little something extra, to get the aspect right, say.)
p := plots:-densityplot(x*(x^2-y^2)/(x^2+y^2)^2,
x=0..0.1, y=0..0.3, grid=[128,128],
style=patchnogrid, colour="Red",
gridlines=false, axes=none, labels=[``,``],
["grid", [-0.000393700787401575 .. 0.100393700787402,
-0.00118110236220472 .. 0.301181102362205, 16384. .. 16384.],
[ 128 x 128 Matrix ]]
[ Data Type: float[8] ]]
[ Storage: rectangular ]]
[ Order: C_order ]]
/ / [ 16384 x 3 2-D Array ]\\
| | [ Data Type: float[8] ]||
< COLOR|RGB, [ Storage: rectangular ]| >
| \ [ Order: C_order ]/|
\ /
m,n := map(rhs,[rtable_dims(plottools:-getdata(p)[-1])])[];
m, n := 128, 128
[ 384 x 128 x 3 3-D Array ]
[ Data Type: float[8] ]
P := [ Storage: rectangular ]
[ Order: C_order ]
That doesn't look so good here only because I've shown the result of Preview(P) which is an intentionally coarse mechanism. A better look at the image is available using the command call ImageTools:-View(P) which I can't show here because it displays inside a pop-up Maplet.
Here is the result of writing the resulting image to a jpg file, using the ImageTools:-Write command.
One reason that I much prefer images over density plots is that an image can be programmatically displayed on either a Button Component or a Label Component, using the SetProperty command. This results in a very clear picture, and with which the Maple Standard GUI behaves well. In contrast a densityplot gives the GUI some grief -- it scrolls sluggishly, it takes several seconds to insert, and even longer to get its right-click context menu.
Next, let's go from image to densityplot. I'll use the tree.jpg file that comes with Maple, so that this example can be run directly.
m,n := ImageTools:-Width(P),ImageTools:-Height(P);
400, 266
# Create a dummy density plot, whose data we'll replace with that from the image.
I wanted to save the above density plot, displayed in my worksheet, using the right-click context menu. It took around 20 sec for the context menu to pop up, for the above 400x266 densityplot, another 15 sec for the file manager to show, and another 10 sec for the export to GIF, all on a fast Intel i7 on Windows 7. Working with images is sometimes faster than working with density plots, although more work to program.
Something that can be programmed easily, with a densityplot, is overlay with text or 2D Math.
plots:-display( p, plots:-textplot([100,230,typeset(sum(a[i],i=1..N)=Psi(N))]) );
With images, on the other hand, it is possible to accomplish the same overlay but doing so requires adjusting for whitespace boundaries.

> Asbaty picks up pieces with Queens win
Asbaty picks up pieces with Queens win
Gianmarc Manzione
USBC Communications
Published: April 30, 2012 |
Diandra Asbaty describes her 2007 World Ranking Masters victory as the moment she picked up the pieces of a devastating loss at the USBC Queens in Charlotte, N.C. just days earlier. But even she would have to admit that when she showed up to bowl the USBC Queens TV finals again last week, one important piece still remained to be picked up—that trophy she left behind in Charlotte back in 2007.
All Asbaty needed to do to bring that trophy home five years ago was win one game. She entered the 2007 Queens finals as the No. 1 seed, and proceeded to bowl a 143 game in a morbid performance that saw Kelly Kulick breeze to her first Queens title. Asbaty missed single-pin spares. She left one split, then another, and another. She never smiled. She hardly, it seemed, even paused to breathe.
Asbaty paused plenty on her way to
her first tiara
last week; she has $400 in shot clock violations to prove it. And that was exactly the point. Asked in 2011 what she would do differently if she ever got another shot at a Queens title, Asbaty's response had nothing to do with winning.
"I will smile more, I will take my time, I will enjoy the moment and make sure everybody can tell how much I love to do this," she said then.
The objective no longer was to win so much as it was to present herself like a winner. As long as she took care of that, she could not lose, no matter what the score said by the time the night was through.
It was easy for viewers at home to focus mostly on the 25 straight clean frames Asbaty bowled Tuesday night, the 270 game with which she blitzed fellow
Team USA
member Stefanie Nation in the semifinal, the 747 series she had tallied by the time she donned the tiara. But it was the things viewers could not see—the commercial breaks Asbaty spent standing on a chair to slap virtual fives with fans in the crowd or tossing towels to kids in the bleachers—that brought her closer to victory than any number of strikes ever could.
It was that personal victory—Asbaty's triumph over the rushed, dour and flustered top seed people saw back in 2007—that she emphasized most in post-show interviews.
"There was none of that feeling like 'Oh, I have to prove I am a good Queens bowler,' or anything like that," Asbaty said of her mindset on the 2012 Queens show. "I never thought I was going to redeem myself; all I wanted to do was not make the same mistakes again. I was going to enjoy it, and be me. I embraced what happened in 2007 because I think it tells a story of who I am."
In a song called "Dark Eyes," Bob Dylan sings "They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is." From where Diandra Asbaty stood Tuesday night, many things seemed far sweeter than revenge. Things like the flight her husband, John, took down to Arlington on a moment's notice to cheer her on, or her 20-month-old son, Madden, who watched from home in Chicago as his mom bowled for her first major title on national TV.
Even down to the shot she threw to win the title—a strike in the 10th to lock out top-seeded Carolyn Dorin-Ballard—winning was not the point. The point was all the things that made winning seem less important than it might have seemed that day back in Charlotte.
"I wasn't going to try to win; all I wanted to do was be me," Asbaty said after the win. "Before I threw that shot in the 10th I literally had a vision of Madden's face, and I knew it was going to be OK whether I won or lost. Being a mother changes everything. It isn't about me anymore. And I am just so fortunate that I can do what I love and show my son that you can truly reach your dreams if you work hard at it."
Maybe that's the thing about winning. Maybe the harder you try merely to win, the less likely it is to happen. Maybe the moment you realize winning is not everything is the moment you become a champion.

2010 John Penton ATV GNCC Report 0
Chris Borich just keeps on winning, the Yoshimura Suzuki rider claiming his sixth win of the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series at a muddy Wiseco John Penton GNCC in Millfield, Ohio.
Anyone who has ever ridden the John Penton in the rain knows how slippery this race can get, and for sure, this one will go down as one of the muddiest. When a driving rainstorm left rivers of water cascading across the course, Trail Boss Jeff Russell made the decision to move the 1 p.m. start time back an hour to give the water a chance to subside. This helped the worst areas of the trail, however, the damage was already done, and a steady afternoon rain didn't help matters.
When the flag finally dropped to start the two-hour race, it was Jeffery Pickens who grabbed the $250 Motorcycle-USA.com holeshot award, leading Borich, Balance Racing Yamaha's Taylor Kiser, Honda-mounted Brent Sturdivant, FRE KTM's Bryan Cook and Warnert Racing Can-Am's Adam McGill through the first sections of the motocross course. Sturdivant actually held the lead at the end of the opening lap; however, Borich soon took the point, with Kiser, Cook, McGill and Sturdivant right on his tail.
The five front-runners, Borich, Cook, Kiser, McGill and Sturdivant, mixed it up in the mud until the final lap when Borich was finally able to break away, turning a small lead into a 30-second gap at the finish.
"This was a good win, there were just so many places where things could go wrong – a lot of waterholes where you could drown out, but everything went my way," said Borich. "It was tough out there and I was trying all day to break away, but it seemed like they kept catching up to me in some of the slower parts of the course. But towards the end, going into the last lap, I knew I could charge and get away."
Kiser ran with Borich for most of the day, but on the third lap he and Sturdivant got stuck in a bottleneck, which eventually got rerouted, and both riders dropped down the order. Kiser crossed the finish line in fourth, however, after a time adjustment he was moved back into second place in the final results, while Sturdivant was credited with a seventh.
"I ran pretty steady all day," said Kiser. "I was 1-2 all day with Borich. But then I got hung up in a bottleneck and dropped back a ways. But my Yamaha ran great and I had a pretty solid race."
Third place went to McGill, who collected his fifth podium of the year with the finish.
"I don't know if this was as bad as year's past, but this was still pretty bad," said McGill. "There we some pretty deep water sections in the back and I just pinned it. I was afraid the bike was going to be like a vacuum cleaner and suck up the water, but the bike did great."
Don Ockerman rode his Yamaha to fourth, finishing just two seconds behind McGill, despite getting flipped over on the start.
"It was kind of slow motion, and I stayed under the bike so no one would run over me," said Okerman. "But I was able to make up time pretty quick. I biked the track yesterday and so I kind of knew it I moved up pretty good."
Cook ran as high as second place, but a miscue on the final lap dropped him to fifth at the finish.
"I moved into second after the white flag and went into this section and just took a bad line," said Cook. "When I started in I saw two wrong way arrows but I had already started in it and I couldn't stop and turn around fast enough and a couple of guys got by me."
Round six winner Chris Bithell finished sixth on his Warnert Racing Can-Am, ahead of Sturdivant, while Yamaha riders Brandon Sommers and Johnny Gallagher were eighth and ninth. Meanwhile, Honda-mounted Harold Goodman rounded out the top 10.
In the XC2 race, Honda rider Corbin Knox took a surprising win, leading HMF Honda's Brian Wolf and early race leader FRE KTM's Josh Kirkland across the finish line. The win also marked Knox's first podium.
"This is unbelievable, I'm still in shock," said Knox. "I had a horrible start and I think I was dead last off the start. Brian [Wolf] must not have got a good start either and I hooked up with him and I knew if I stayed with him I would do alright."
"I never looked at the score board when I went through scoring, and I never knew what position I was in," added Knox. "I had mud all over my contacts and I couldn't see, so I rode with one eye closed for most of the race and I just kept pushing."
Wolf took over the series points lead from Walker Fowler with his runner-up finish, and now holds a five-point advantage over the Yamaha rider.
"I had a bad start and just took my time and I thought consistency would pay off and it did," said Wolf.
Kirkland held the early lead in the XC2 division, and actually held the overall lead at one point, but like his teammate, Cook, was a victim of a poor line.
"I don't know what happened, I was leading and then all of a sudden I was fifth," said Kirkland. "I didn't get stuck or anything, I guess there was a cut-off I didn't get to take on the third lap. But it was still a good day."
Honda-mounted Ian Laufersweiler finished fourth, about 30 seconds ahead of Yamaha rider Kevin Yoho, while Walker Fowler finished sixth. Meanwhile, Polaris rider Joey Margueria was seventh ahead of Yamaha riders Eric Hoyland and Gabe Phillips. Honda rider Nathan Thomas was 10th.
In the meantime, $100 Motorcycle-USA.com holeshot award winner Matt Pierce finished 15th.

Largest Solar Deployment on a Corporate Campus in US now online
October 17, 2008 Two new solar power installations totaling 2.1 megawatts are now online at Applied Materials' corporate research facilities in Sunnyvale California. The systems, which include a 950 kilowatt SunPower PowerGuard installation and a 1.2 megawatt SunPower Tracker installation atop an elevated parking canopy, represent the largest solar power deployment at a corporate facility in the US.
Mike Splinter, president and chief executive officer of Applied Materials, said that the launch of the two systems marked another exciting milestone in the adoption of solar power in California. "We've converted our parking lots to power plants and we encourage others to join us in making solar power a meaningful part of the energy supply," Splinter said.
The SunPower Tracker follows the sun as it moves across the sky, increasing sunlight capture by up to 25% over conventional fixed-tilt systems. Both systems use SunPower solar panels, which use Applied Materials' Baccini technology in the solar cell manufacturing process. Since the first phase of installation in November 2007, Applied reports that its solar installation has generated 1,413 megawatt hours of power. The system is expected to replace more than 2,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, which is equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from approximately 450 passenger cars.
The new system was dedicated by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger earlier this month. The Governor praised the company's work in the solar industry after viewing the extensive parking lot-based solar array as well as a demonstration of the company's thin film solar technology. "Applied Materials is a real California solar success story and they are demonstrating the potential of turning parking lots throughout the state into power plants at a time when we need innovative solutions to the growing energy crisis," said Governor Schwarzenegger. While at the Sunnyvale facility, the Governor also viewed a working, SunFab thin film solar panel, the largest commercially-available solar panel in the world.

I am writing to thank Bob Shryock for his recent article about John Howard, who has retired from Gateway High School after 39 years of teaching — and after creating hundreds of caricatures.
The article left out the most essential fact about Mr. Howard: He is without doubt one of the best teachers that Gateway has ever had.
I was privileged to be in his class this past year, and he has left a lasting influence on me and on many others.
I am grateful that I was in his last class and not in the first senior English class in 40 years to be without him.

"Minnesang" is the term given to a large collection of lyric poetry written in Austria, Germany and Switzerland during the Middle Ages. The word identifies the theme of love (Middle High German "minne") and points to the fact that these were songs, intended to be performed to a musical accompaniment, though little of the music has survived. The emphasis here will be on the poets composing at the end of the 12th and during the first decades of the 13th century and exemplifying some of the important trends and features in a complex development. This is a period of great productivity in German narrative, and the two areas taken together demonstrate the remarkable flowering of courtly literature in …

On Friday, President Obama prepared to put the squeeze on Iran's international oil business as an oblique, but not ambiguous, means of pressuring Tehran about its nuclear program by laying the groundwork for more sanctions.
White House / David Bohrer
Tuesday brought another round of the tug of war between Iran and the U.S., in which Iran, no doubt feeling the need to respond to pressure and sanctions intended to thwart Tehran's alleged plan to build a nuclear weapon, hit back by making it clear that an American aircraft carrier needed to stay away from the "Persian Gulf region." Updated
By Cameron Cardow, The Ottowa Citizen
After an American drone was downed last week in Iran, the U.S. made the unrealistic request that Iranian authorities return the spy machine, and on Tuesday, that appeal was unsurprisingly rejected.
This information, we should note, comes from Iran's state-sponsored news agency, but officials in Tehran said Wednesday they had arrested as many as 12 CIA agents who had been working undercover to gather intelligence about the Iranian nuclear program and what the government planned to do with it.
Last week, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency expressed "serious concerns" over Iran's nuclear program in a strongly worded report that claimed that there is evidence that Iran might be developing an atomic weapon. This is the stuff of "fantasyland," according to The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh.
Despite the Iranian government's insistence to the contrary, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog group, the IAEA, remains suspicious about Tehran's intentions for the country's nuclear program, passing a resolution Friday registering its "deep and increasing concern" that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad considers resigning his post as president of Iran; Google Maps will let users inside buildings; and Bill Gates dips his mouse into American education. These discoveries and more after the jump.
"Your call for democratic freedoms has been heard loud and clear," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the protesters. "And soon, they will be instituted in Egypt, where you can visit them."
Inspired by demonstrations elsewhere in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of Iranian protesters stormed the streets of Tehran on Monday, some chanting "Death to the dictator." It's the first major show of people power since opposition leaders accused President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of stealing the 2009 election.
In one of the world's most troubling on-again-off-again relationships, Iran has announced that it is open to resuming stalled multilateral talks over its nuclear program after irreconcilable differences shut down negotiation channels between Iran and six other nations last year.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made quite a provocative gesture by staging a pro-Hezbollah rally at a Lebanese border town near Israel on Thursday—a scene that was not lost on the Israeli military.

On Thursday, President Barack Obama made his case for a fourth round of sanctions
against Iran to send a strong message to Tehran about its nuclear program, but some other global powers aren't on board with that plan just yet—namely, China and Russia.
After days of confusion over whether or not Iran would reopen negotiations regarding its nuclear program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered his country's atomic energy agency to begin producing uranium for a medical reactor in Tehran. The United States quickly expressed disappointment over the announcement.
It's difficult to confirm the origin of all of these news and Internet videos of protests in Iran, but it's clear that something major is again happening there.
The immense crowds gathering in Iran identify either a pre-revolutionary situation or political decadence suggesting that the end may be near, but might also be very bad.

American diplomats are gearing up to carefully broach the topic of Tehran's nuclear program with their Iranian counterparts during a summit on the subject in Geneva on Thursday, thus potentially going further than President Obama had been able to venture in earlier negotiation efforts.

Is the Iranian regime taking a page from North Korea with its recent, potentially provocative displays of missile-launching power? Or are those preplanned exercises (nothing to see here, move along, folks)? Or, as White House press wrangler Robert Gibbs suggests, a little bit of both?
AP / Office of the Supreme Leader
Although Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, aka Iran's supreme leader, has called the recent protests over the contested election evidence of foreign powers meddling in his country's affairs, his words didn't seem to sway Iranian opponents, who on Monday proposed a referendum to sort out the issue.
In Iran, it is estimated that hundreds more people than Iranian officials have admitted have died in the heavy military crackdowns on election protesters. Meanwhile, President Ahmadinejad has promised to do more cracking down, this time on the West, stating "this nation will strike you in the face so hard you will lose your way home."

The crowds that emerged in Tehran on Thursday to once again contest the recent national election numbered only in the low thousands, but the first mass protest in 11 days demonstrated that the postelection unrest has yet to be resolved in Iran.

On Tuesday, Iran's three leading opposition candidates formed a unified front to demand an end to the government's harsh crackdown on protesters and the release of all those detained. Meanwhile, in a radio interview, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thanked Iranians for re-electing him and promised to "dedicate [his] entire existence to serving the people."

A recount of 10 percent of the ballots in Iran's June 12 presidential election has begun amid heightened tensions with the West. Nine British Embassy workers were arrested in Tehran on Sunday for allegedly being behind the postelection civil unrest. Five of the detainees were later released, but the EU is threatening to pull out its diplomats. Updated
The truly significant result of the suppressed Iranian revolt is that the most important Islamist radical movement in the contemporary world has demonstrated that it has become a brutally repressive dictatorship whose leaders rig elections and beat down clear popular demands.
White House / Lawrence Jackson
The president reiterated Tuesday that he has no intention of "interfering with Iran's affairs," but he also dialed up his criticism of the regime's crackdown from "it is of concern to me" to "I strongly condemn these unjust actions."
In case you haven't heard, this whole Iran election crisis thing is about us. Is Barack Obama doing enough to aid our fellow Iranian freedom fighters? Are Westerners the cause of the protests? Watch this clip of last night's "Daily Show" to find out.

Iran's Guardian Council has found "no major fraud or breach in the election" and will not annul the vote, a spokesman announced Tuesday. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, meanwhile, jumped into the fray, calling on the Iranian government to "respect fundamental civil and political rights."

You don't overthrow Islamic revolutions with car headlights. And definitely not with candles. Peaceful protest might have served Gandhi well, but the supreme leader's Iran is not going to worry about a few thousand demonstrators on the streets, even if they do cry "Allahu Akbar" from their rooftops every night.

Iranians do not need or want us to teach them about liberty and representative government. We gave to the Iranian people the corrupt regime of the shah and his savage secret police and the primitive clerics that rose out of the swamp of the dictator's Iran.
Iranian election officials announced over the weekend that in 50 districts, there were more votes cast than voters. It's a glimmer of hope for protesters, who stayed home Sunday as the government flooded the streets of Tehran with security personnel. State media reported the arrest of 457 people following Saturday's violence.
Protesters defied the supreme leader's threat of a crackdown and marched Saturday in the streets of Tehran, where they were reportedly met with tear gas and gunfire. Foreign media were unable to verify state television reports that 10 people were killed in Saturday's confrontation between police and "terrorists."
President Obama says he is concerned about violence directed at protesters, but does not want "to be seen as meddling in Iranian elections." He also warns that the "difference between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi in terms of their actual policies may not be as great as has been advertised."
Few think that the demonstrations in Tehran, and now in other Iranian cities, can produce a change in regime. What is being challenged is the reactionary social and political form the Iranian system has assumed under Ahmadinejad and the most conservative clerics.

The protests in Iran have captured the imagination of Western media, but the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should come as no surprise. The world needs to move past the controversy of the Iranian elections and, like him or not, find a way to deal with President Ahmadinejad and his nuclear ambitions.

Following U2's manager Paul McGuinness's comments regarding Radiohead's pay-what-you-like 'In Rainbows' release, Bono wrote a letter to NME
Earlier this month, McGuinness said Radiohead's album release "backfired" and that U2 would not be following the Oxford band's example when they release their next record.
In the letter, printed in tomorrow's (June 25) edition of NME, Bono says that he disagrees with his manager's comments, calling Radiohead "courageous and imaginative in trying to figure out some new relationship with their audience".
"Such imagination and courage are in short supply right now," he continued. "They're [Radiohead], a sacred talent, and we feel blessed to be around at the same time."
Read the full letter from Bono in the new issue of NME, out nationwide tomorrow.

First the red carpet, then the aisle.
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger walked the red carpet together – in matching black leather – at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday. With Lavigne in a strapless leather dress and Kroeger in a black leather jacket, the couple complimented each other as they posed for photos.
The Nickelback singer, 38, frontman proposed to Lavigne, 28, with a 14-carat diamond ring over the summer.
The singer recently spilled details about her upcoming nuptials in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM On-Air with Ryan Seacrest show.
"It's going to be quite spectacular, and there's a theme to it," she said. "We're going pretty big, but Chad doesn't even know everything."
