RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rebuffed Secretary of State Colin Powell's demand Sunday for a halt to violence, saying Israel first must withdraw its troops from the West Bank.
Powell, shuttling back to Israel for a meeting in Tel Aviv, then pressed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for a complete pullback, a U.S. official said.
Sharon renewed his proposal for an international peace conference among Israel and Arab states including Saudi Arabia, Syria and Lebanon and the Palestinians, but not Yasser Arafat.
Sharon said the United States would lead the conference, and "I imagine that within a short time a conference of this sort will convene to debate the diplomatic arrangements in the Middle East."
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the proposal was an attempt to "turn the clock backward."
A senior U.S. official said the idea was discussed "as part of a way to move forward politically," but more talks were needed.
Arafat, 72, appeared in good health as he met with Powell in his rocket-scarred headquarters that is surrounded by Israeli tanks and troops. Arafat has been under pressure that is "unreal for an old man like him," said Zeid Abu Shawish, a Palestinian doctor in the compound.
Powell was driven to the besieged compound in a motorcade of armor-plated SUVs, shielded by U.S. security personnel with submachine guns.
The headquarters showed the effects of Israeli bombardment. A gaping hole marred the facade and the walls were blackened with bullet marks.
A senior aide, Saeb Erekat, said Arafat stood by his commitments, including an end to violence. But, Erekat said after the three-hour meeting, that meant "once the Israelis complete the withdrawal we will, as Palestinians, then carry out our obligations."
Arafat complained bitterly and extensively to Powell about Israel's military thrust into Palestinian-held towns and villages, and especially its actions in Jenin and a refugee camp in the town.
President Bush has demanded a pullback right away, but Sharon refused to provide a timetable when he saw Powell on Friday in Jerusalem. They met again briefly Sunday night in Tel Aviv.
Powell, in a short statement to reporters, called his meeting with Arafat useful and constructive.
A senior U.S. official said Powell's "clear message" to Arafat in a 45-minute presentation was "the bombings have to stop, that it was a major barrier" to progress toward a security agreement or on negotiations that Powell has said should lead to establishment of a Palestinian state.
Powell and Arafat directed top aides to meet today on "a variety of ideas." He provided no details.
Arafat saw Powell to the door, and they shook hands, but Arafat did not emerge. "Arafat did not come out for security reasons," Erekat said.
Gesturing to the building next door, where Israeli soldiers peered out of half-open windows, Erekat said, "You see the Israeli snipers all around. We are not going to take that risk."
But the senior U.S. official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said "they did not complain about the personal situation."
Palestinian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Quriea, who attended the meeting around a second-floor dining room table, told The Associated Press: "We told Secretary Powell that we shall not discuss any subject before Israel pulls out" from towns and villages occupied since March 29.
"We told him that it's time to speak about a Palestinian state along the lines" that existed before Israel occupied land seized during the 1967 Mideast war, the Palestinian official said.
He said Arafat and Powell were expected to meet again Tuesday.
A foreign policy adviser to Sharon said Israel has "already made substantial progress in heeding to the president's request, and we pulled out of substantial areas."
"On the other hand, we have not seen any movement from the Palestinians in what they were requested to do," including accepting a meaningful cease-fire and cooperating on security, Danny Ayalon said on ABC's "This Week."
Powell will make briefs stops today in Lebanon and Syria - which is in effective control of Lebanon - to express his concern about the "urgent and serious" cross-border attacks on Israel from southern Lebanon, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said.
Powell has those countries to curb the guerrillas, and asked intermediaries to appeal to Iran, which arms the group the State Department considers a terrorist organization.
Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov volunteered to intercede, as well, when he saw Powell in Spain on Wednesday.
Initially, Powell was expected to fly home Tuesday, but preparations are under way for a longer stay in the region.
The president did not speak directly to Powell but was briefed on his Mideast peacemaking efforts by his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice. White House officials reported no Bush calls to world leaders, but said he was monitoring Powell's trip.
U.S. officials want Arafat to use the "bully pulpit of his leadership as required and called upon by our president to bring clearly home to his people that violence to accomplish political end is not going to be effective," Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said in Washington.
Meanwhile, Sharon and his Security Cabinet discussed unilateral measures to protect Israel from Palestinian attackers, discussing plans to build barriers between the West Bank and Israel.
However, the Israelis took pains to say that they were "not talking about a continuous fence, but about different types of obstacles at different places," said Cabinet Secretary Gideon Saar.
The cease-fire line between Israel and the West Bank has never been fortified, as Israeli governments do not recognize it as a border.

The Black Keys take a crack at Spotify: What's the beef?
The Black Keys have been a vocal opponent of Spotify before. Only this time they've called an important music/media tech guy and "assh*le." Oh gosh!
Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney clarified the band's stance to Grand Rapids, Mich. radio station WGRD this week, indicating that the streaming service's royalties scheme doesn't have enough of a payout for the band to make all releases available.
"The idea of a streaming service, like Netflix for music, I'm totally not against it. It's just we won't put all of our music on it until there are enough subscribers for it to make sense," he said. "Trust me, Dan and I like to make money. If it was fair to the artist we would be involved in it... I imagine if Spotify becomes something that people are willing to pay for, then I'm sure iTunes will just create their own service, and they're actually fair to artists."
To be clear, most Black Keys releases are on Spotify, just not 2011's "El Camino." Part of the basic math is that a band must pay an upfront cost to be on Spotify, of course, but then if a new or popular release is available on the service immediately, then streams could take away from a album or single sale. Users on Spotify can upgrade to paid subscriptions, of course, generating revenue for the service and for labels/publishers/rights holders. They make money on advertising to non-subscribers.
During the South By Southwest Music and Interactive Conference this month, Spotify part-owner and former Napster founder Sean Parker had a rosy outlook on Spotify's future in that regard. He surmised that Spotify could catch up to iTunes in terms of revenue in two years. (For giggles, Spotify would need $2.08 billion in revenue -- or 12.34 million U.S. subscribers -- in 2013 to make that work.) For the U.S., that's difficult to imagine, though it may work in other countries.
To Carney: no matter. That money benefits labels more than it does the individual artist, as Spotify releases that revenue to rights holders for them to dole out.
"[Parker's] an assh*le. That guy has $2 billion that he made from figuring out ways to steal royalties from artists, and that's the bottom line," Carney said. "I honestly don't want to see Sean Parker succeed in anything."
That's the past biting you in the butt. Not only was Napster hyper-controversial at the time it was launched, but in a legitimate business practice Parker could still be accused of improper payout. Led Zeppelin, Tom Waits, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, former Napster foes Metallica and others agree, which is why you won't find selct albums or entire catalogs on there.
The Black Keys -- among those names, anyway -- are still newer artists, and their audiences engage with music tech more often and in more ways than older listeners do, by and large. So using Spotify for younger bands and smaller bands still presents a quandary: you want to make your product as available as possible to as many people as possible, don't you?
But then there's some responsibility on the label to be fair with the royalties, and its not like the Black Keys' label Nonesuch are running a non-profit. Were the Black Keys their own exclusive rights holders, then this might have been a different conversation entirely. Just look where you sign the dotted line, kids.
And in case you're still wondering about another Black Keys beef -- with name-calling Nickelback and their fans -- Carney half-heartedly apologized. "I didn't mean to single them out. It just came out," Carney told MTV Canada. "There's much worse bands than Nickelback, maybe."

Nomiki Konst: The United States of America has a dirty little secret. We're addicted to a drug. A drug dealt everyday in the halls of Congress, on the streets of Washington, and at the exclusive Georgetown soirees. That drug is corruption, pure and simple. And the dealers are lobbyists. The year 2009 was record breaking for the lobbying industry, mostly due to the health care debate, with total spending on all issues at more than $3.47 billion.

The state's deficits exist because we reduced taxes, starting with proposition 13.

We visited with our family of 4, including a 3 & 6 year old. They loved milking the goats, visiting the chickens, ducks and sheep, not to mention the 3 beautiful golden retrievers. Cold Moom Farm provided the right amount of rest and relaxation to balance out the work we put in skiing nearby Stratton. And Ed & Irene couldn't have been better hosts. We're looking forward to next year!

My family and I stayed at Cold Moon Farm for two nights. It was our first trip to Vermont, so we wanted to get a real taste of the local culture. The stay at CMF exceeded all hopes. My children (6 and 9) had a wonderful goat with the human and animal residents. Irene and Ed are true gems. Wonderful and thoughtful hosts, and they seemed to truly enjoy spending time with our kids and showing us around the farm. We're already planning a stay for this fall to enjoy the view of the mountain out of the spectacular living area and spend more time chatting with the wonderful hosts....and maybe watching the kids play with the baby goats. Who knew that baby goats love a good game of tag?!

We (2 adults and 2 children) stayed at CMF over President's Weekend. The food was wonderful, with a great selection of different things to try every morning. Later in the day, they always had snacks lying around for people to munch on when they got home from skiing. I could have eaten the Buffalo Caramel Popcorn all day. The house was lovely, with everything you could ever want in a B&B. It was very cold outside, so we went skiing a lot less than we had planned, but there was plenty to do between the game room downstairs, the goats, the dogs, and the lovely living space. We spent a lot of time sitting around the fireplace talking and relaxing, and it was wonderful. The hosts were wonderful and made us feel at home from the first moment we arrived. Ed made us Valentine's Day dinner reservations before we even asked about them. We plan on going back as soon as we can.

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and had a wonderful time- even though it was below freezing for our entire trip. Ed, Irene and the staff were full of suggestions of things for us to do, breakfast was absolutely delicious (I wish I could have home made yogurt every morning!) and the rooms were so comfortable that the only reason we wanted to get out of bed was because breakfast smelled so good. Plus- we got to snuggle baby goats and hang out with the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet!

We had a lovely stay with Ed and Irene at Cold Moon Farm. They were tremendously flexible, friendly and accommodating. Sleeping in the bed was like lying in a cloud of comfort. The only thing that got us out of bed each morning were the delectable smells wafting up from the kitchen. Homemade breads, fresh eggs and yogurt made from fresh goat's milk were just a small portion of the delicious spread laid out each morning. Ed gave us a wonderful tour of the farm and let us spend lots of time enjoying the animals. We even fed the baby goats with bottles and milked the mama goats! A delightful weekend; we 're sure to return!

Our July 2014 stay at Cold Moon Farm was the highlight of our New England trip. The setting is beautiful; the accommodations are extremely comfortable; the farm is alive and accessible; and the breakfasts are scrumptious. Ed and Irene are friendly and informative hosts. Do take Ed up on his offer of a farm tour and make sure you ask Irene about her innovative bread making and her techniques for adjusting traditional recipes to produce even yummier contemporary creations.

July, 2014 This is a wonderful family farm stay & so much more! We worked with Ed & Irene for many months to plan a huge rehearsal dinner in their lovely B & B on the 4th of July the night before our son's wedding. Ed & Irene were so warm & welcoming from the very start. They generously gave us tips on other resources in the area & held our hand through the whole planning process. When we arrived we felt like old friends and when we left we felt like family. The event came off impeccably! From start to finish Ed & Irene were so warm and kind and kept us laughing as we went about setting up with them. That evening our guests enjoyed a magnificent sunset off the big balcony. We stayed a couple nights with them during the wedding festivities also and found the Inn so well appointed, comfortable and charming. The pillow top mattresses are the best and the rooms are delightfully decorated. We enjoyed big "farm to table" delicious breakfasts cooked together by Ed & Irene in their beautiful, centerpiece kitchen. It was such a treat to relax on the balcony or sun porch for breakfast looking down on the pond and out over the beautiful mountains. The farm hands were so pleasant and eager to show us the animals and tell us lots of interesting stories of life on the farm. Now our son's Vermont wedding memories will include the Cold Moon Farm where Ed & Irene took such good care of us and enjoyed meeting some of our closest friends & family. We are so grateful to them for helping make our stay so memorable. We will be back. If you are in the Green Mountains of Vermont you should not miss the Cold Moon Farm.

The painful and debilitating effects of osteoarthritis at the knee can be remedied by replacing the damaged articulating surfaces of the knee with a total knee replacement. Modern knee replacements consist of a metal alloy component on the femoral side (top of the knee) and a special plastic called ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene on the tibial side (bottom of the knee). Through recent improvements in materials, these implants have seen increased longevity, often lasting 15 years or more in the body before requiring a second surgery. As patients opt for knee replacements earlier in life, remain more active after surgery and live longer, the demands on the design and longevity of knee replacements increases.nnOne of the leading causes of revision surgery is periprosthetic bone loss, which means that bone near the implant has thinned. As the knee articulates during walking, the top metal component slides, rolls and rotates on the polyethylene. This relative motion causes the polyethylene to wear. Microscopic debris leaves the surface and enters the surrounding tissue, where it can set off a cascade of cellular reactions that lead to bone resorption. Currently, knee replacement designs and materials are evaluated before being implanted by machines that run accelerated tests by simulating the motion of walking at the knee.nnHowever, walking is not the only activity of daily living. Sitting in a chair, rising from a chair, stepping up a stair and stepping down a stair are the most common activities for total knee replacement patients after walking. In a motion analysis lab, we measured the movements and dynamics of these activities using retroreflective markers, infrared cameras and force plates. Using a computational method known as inverse dynamics and a parametric numerical model, we were able to show that these activities generally have larger motions and higher forces. In particular, the secondary motions of the knee, such as internal-external rotation and medial-lateral (side-to-side) translation, are often larger in non-walking activities.nnUltra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the plastic most commonly used in knee replacements, is made of long chains of molecules. The material is highly wear resistant because the chains are entangled. As thousands of cycles of walking accumulate, the molecular chains align in the primary direction of motion. Once aligned, the material is more susceptible to wear in secondary directions. The larger secondary motions of other activities could lead higher wear. Because pre-implantation tests only include walking, the tests may be insufficient to accurately predict the wear of the implant in the body.nnCurrently, testing is underway to evaluate if the motions of non-walking activities do increase the wear of knee replacements. In addition, knee replacements that had been implanted and were retrieved from patients after revision surgery or death are being evaluated for wear. The results of these retrieved specimen will help determine whether the inclusion of non-walking activities in testing routines is necessary to evaluate the wear of total knee replacements.nnMy dance to explain my in-progress PhD thesis was originally choreographed for live performance and adapted for the camera.

The sun creates a lot of energy by hydrogen fusion. Scientists are investigating fusion, building our own 'sun on earth', as a sustainable energy source on earth. A lot of energy is released when hydrogen isotopes fuse together into helium and neutrons. One of the key problems is that these high energy neutrons can damage the crystal structure of the surrounding tungsten wall. This can create vacancies in the metal lattice, which trap hydrogen atoms. Trapped hydrogen cannot fuse to release energy.nnMaterial temperature turns out to be an important factor in managing hydrogen capture. We investigated how hydrogen can escape if the tungsten material is hot. On the one hand, hot tungsten atoms are more mobile and can move back into vacancies in the crystal, so that the metal effectively heals itself. Additionally, the hydrogen atoms themselves have a higher mobility at a high temperature. They can now escape from their captivity and take part in the fusion process within the heart of the machine; one step closer to creating a sun on earth.nnMy PhD dance is performed around and on the experiment I'm using for my research, Magnum-PSI (FOM Institute DIFFER, the Netherlands). Magnum-PSI is capable of reproducing the conditions that we expect in the wall of a fusion reactor. We can therefore test materials on their capabilities of withstanding such a harsh environment.nnI would like to thank all people that helped me create this dance. We had an incredible amount of fun using the experimental hall in the weekend for a completely different purpose than the usual experiments. Special thanks to FOM Institute DIFFER (www.differ.nl).nnExplanation of my PhD dance in detail:nThe two dancers at the platform on top of the machine illustrate the fusion of two hydrogen atoms (yellow dresses) into helium within the sun. An abundance of energy is released in this way. Looking down from the machine, we see a single hydrogen atom 'on earth'. Her movements are the same as in the duet, however much smaller. She dances alone to show that when too much hydrogen is captured in the surrounding wall of a fusion reactor, there is not enough hydrogen to keep the fusion process going.nIn the following scene, we see the regular structure of a tungsten material, depicted by the disks on the ground and the three dancers (black dresses). Smoke rings illustrate the high energy neutrons that, released in the fusion reaction, continuously bombard the material. An interaction between neutrons and the tungsten materials will not happen often, but when it does it will cause a chain reaction of displacements in the material; the frisbees move in all directions. nAt low surface temperature (blue light), the hydrogen atoms are more easily trapped and hence can no longer take part in a fusion reaction. The yellow dancers are captured in the material, they join in on the movements of the black dancers.n At high surface temperatures (red light) the hydrogen atoms have a higher mobility, which prevents them from getting trapped within the material. Their movements are wider and more energetic. Additionally, the material itself regenerates. The disks return to a regular structure, limiting the number of vacancies in which hydrogen can be captured. Now liberated, the yellow hydrogen atoms escape and dance away from the material. n The dance continues with a duet of hydrogen atoms entangled in a fusion reaction. We end back in the original scene, but this time with two fusion duets; one in the sun (on top of the machine), the other within a fusion reactor (on the floor). Less

My PhD research was on studying pairs of heavy-element reactions to see if there was a better way to make these isotopes. By shooting an ion beam of a particular energy from an accelerator at a target and measuring the decays of the particular isotope we made in a detector further away, we can determine the reaction probability (cross section) of that reaction. The cross section is a ratio of the production rate of the thing you want to make by the beam dose per unit area by the number of target nuclei per unit area. If you make the same isotope two different ways and one way has a significantly higher cross section, it indicates a favored reaction. In my dissertation research I looked at eight different reactions, or four pairs, making the elements Db, Bh, Mt, and Rg. If you aren't familiar with those elements, look at the bottom of the transition metals on the periodic table. nnThe cyclotron accelerates beam ions in an outwardly spiraling horizontal path. If you look closely you can see that the beam ball color and the target hoop color are combined in the hoop color of the product atom, most of the time. (I didn't have any white LED beam balls.) I used t-shirts of different colors with their element symbols to show that the combination of the beam ball and target hoop made something completely different. The product atom recoils out of the target and travels along with unreacted beam and gets separated along the way to the detector. The decaying atom of Mt first undergoes alpha decay by getting rid of the yellow ball. The so-called "daughter" product Bh also decays by alpha emission to Db, but the Db atom grabs a red ball representing an electron and turns into Rf. This isotope of Rf spontaneously fissions – or splits in two – and that ends the decay chain. I used this same kind of experimental method to discover the new isotope 260Bh, which is so awesome I had to use fire to represent it.nnYou see eight "data points" towards the end of the video but I only list five reactions plus the new isotope because those are the ones I did myself. The other three data points were added to my results from a thorough meta-analysis of the literature. The short answer to the question of "is there a favored reaction method?" is NO. The statistical uncertainty in the cross sections of each reaction pair overlap, represented at the end by the rotating hoops.nnThanks for watching! Less

Video for the DANCE YOUR PhD 2014 contest.nnWritten, directed and edited by Saioa Alvarez (Food scientist and PhD candidate in food science and technology) . The experimental work presented in this thesis was performed at AZTI (Spain) and the thesis will be presented at the University of the Basque Country (Spain).nnSee the video for the rest of the credits.nnMORE INFORMATION:nnDue to the increasing prevalence of diseases related to high-calorie intake, such as overweight and obesity, there is a growing demand by food consumers of low-caloric products. The higher caloric value of fat compared to carbohydrates or proteins has made the food industry to especially focus on the development of reduced-fat products.nnHowever, fat plays and important role in food properties as texture and flavour. In highly concentrated emulsions, for instance mayonnaise, a reduction in oil volume provokes a large decrease in the emulsion´s viscosity and the appearance of destabilisation phenomena. Creaming is one of the main instability phenomena. It consists in the oil droplets upward migration due to the differences in density between oil and water. When the number of oil droplets is small and enough interactions between them are not produced, or when the viscosity of the droplets surrounding phase (normally mostly water in oil-in-water emulsions) is very low, droplets migrate upward and a separated creamy phase appears.nnIn this video we tried to explain how we solved this problem during this thesis through the story of a mayonnaise addict that does not know how to obtain reduced-fat mayonnaises with appropiate texture. Food scientists explain him how we did it and the fundaments behind the followed strategies. On one hand we added a low-caloric carbohydrate, which interacts with water increasing the aqueous phase viscosity. We also studied the impact of the application of an emerging food processing technology: high pressure homogenisation. The very high forces applied by this technology produce the oil droplets sizes reduction provoking an increase in their surface area and consequently also in the interactions among droplets (more packed droplets for the same oil volume fraction). Both effects improve the emulsions viscoelastic properties and prevent the oil droplets creaming. Hence, it is possible to obtain reduced-fat mayonnaises with similar texture properties as the full-fat ones by combining both strategies.nnWe also wanted to explain in this video the role of egg yolk as emulsifier. Egg yolk´s emulsifying molecules locate at the interface between oil and water (aqueous phase) reducing the tension among them. This makes possible the emulsification process by reducing the immiscibility between phases. Milk proteins can also be used as emulsifiers but as shown in this video they are not efficient for fat reduction by themselves.nnIt´s been a great (and very funny) experience mixing dance and science. We also learnt a lot about video production and editing for future "scientific/artistic" videos.nnTHANKS FOR WATCHING! Less

Dance Your PhD 2014nUma NagendranDepartment of Plant BiologynUniversity of GeorgiannMany of the patterns we see in forests around the world are caused by the relationships that plants have with organisms in the soil. Some very diverse forests can only support as many different tree species as they do because soil-borne diseases prevent any one species from taking over. But what happens when a tornado comes along? Do the plants and soil organisms maintain this diversity-promoting relationship? nnMy PhD research focuses on how several different species of tree seedlings in the southern Appalachian mountains interact with soil organisms—and how tornadoes might mix things up. I study many different species. As an example, we can look at white pine (Pinus strobus), and the many pathogens that attack the roots of its seedlings.nnThe dance begins in an undisturbed forest. Because trees live for so long in one place, a mature pine tree accumulates a unique group of fungi around its roots—including pathogens that cause diseases in tree seedlings (in this case, Pythium and Rhizoctonia). White pine seedlings that are very close to a mature tree are more likely to be attacked by these pathogens—causing stunted growth, or even death. The farther away a seedling is from a mature tree, the less likely it is to get infected. These distant seedlings are more likely to survive to maturity. A pattern emerges where the mature pine trees are spaced far apart—leaving room for seedlings of other species to grow, and creating a diverse forest. nnIn the middle of the dance, we witness the tornado—and how it changes the forest environment. The mature pine tree dies, and the forest floor is no longer shaded. The soil becomes hotter and drier. Without the living mature tree as a host, specialist pathogens are less active, and many die. Because of this, I am predicting that plant-soil relationships in recently tornado-damaged areas may be much weaker. In the last part of the dance, seedlings close to the (killed) mature tree are no longer at greater risk for disease; they grow and survive the same as their more distant siblings. The changing plant-soil relationships after disturbances might be one piece in the puzzle of how diverse ecosystems change over time. Less

Quick Key:nNavy: electrons (e-)nBlue/Orange: ferrocenium / ferrocene (Fcn+/ Fcn)nRed: lithium ions (Li+)nYellow: solvent (Sol)nnnSide reactions in lithium-ion batteries are a major problem for battery safety and lifetime. My research tries to determine what these side reactions are and how to control them. To do this, I developed a new method to characterize side reactions by using the molecule ferrocene. When ferrocene is in its reduced (electrically neutral) form, it is orange. When it is in the oxidized (positively charged) form, known as ferrocenium, it is blue-green.nnThe main reaction in this system is the reduction of lithium ions (red dancers). When lithium ions are reduced by electrons (navy blue dancers), the resulting lithium intercalates into the electrode. However, solvent molecules (yellow dancers) are reduced at the same potential. The insoluble solvent reduction products precipitate as a film on the electrode surface. This film passivates the electrode, blocking further reaction. nnSolvent reduction is much more complex than the single-electron reaction shown here, and the properties of such thin films are hard to measure. To better understand the films, we add ferrocenium (blue dancer). Because ferrocenium reduction occurs at a different potential than lithium or solvent reduction, its rate is much easier to measure. As the film grows thicker and less porous, through-film ferrocenium reduction becomes more difficult. This method can thereby determine film parameters such as the thickness and porosity.nnThis dance was performed with the help of Lindy on Sproul, our campus swing dance club. The song, "What'cha Know Joe?", reflects both the poorly-understood nature of side reactions and the mental state frequently experienced during a Ph. D. Less

Through interpretive dance, we've tried to communicate the circus that is a PhD experience.nnOur story introduces the Engineer's elusive dream to arrange the coupling of Lightness and Strength - a classic engineering romance over the ages. Strength is heavy and difficult to work with, Lightness is delicate and frail.nnThe Engineer summons the Scientist and explains the problem. This is a daunting task. Inspired by the Engineer, the Scientist uses a sophisticated atom probe microscope to observe, at the atomic level, what makes Lightness so frail. He finds that when force is applied to the perfect crystal structure of Lightness the bonds break and the atoms slip along a straight line. But how to make it stronger? Could the lines of atoms be arranged so that they didn't slip?nnTaking an unconventional route, The Scientist tries a process of applying torsion to redesign the atomic architecture. He applies this revolving force to the crystal, dividing it into multiple smaller parts, and creates interfaces that might block slip. Alloying atoms are arranged on the interfaces to provide important adhesion between the small crystals. Nervously, the Scientist tests this new design and discovers the new material resists much greater force without breaking.

This great ocean will become the scenery of the fight looking for the supremacy between the world powers which begin a colonial race in order to increase their international strength. In this struggle, the development of the scientific expeditions is a key element to allow the `discovery´ of Oceania. Due to this fact, science becomes a relevant instrument for colonization.nThis PhD focuses on the international relationships that Spain establishes with other empires in the frontiers of its colonies in the so-called "Hispanic Oceania", that is to say, Philippines, Marianas and the Caroline Islands.nnThis area is used by the Spanish overseas Empire as a source to increase its international prestige and to strengthen the "group matters" of the Spanish nation, exerting on the population an unreal image of international superiority. nnPeople assume this fact, as it shows the battle for the Caroline Islands in 1885, being the State encouraged by the Spanish to go to war. Finally, the break out of the Hispano-American war in 1898 will reveal the Spanish nation that unreal image, and consequently the Spanish defeat will condition the end of the Spanish empire within the Hispanic Oceanic continent.

The PhD thesis underlying this dance video deals with the question of how to achieve effective water protection policies. nIn order to design innovative water policies, the concerted action by diverse parts of society, economy, and politics is necessary.nIn the video, several dancing styles (hip hop, house, salsa, acrobatics) stand for diverse political groups, which fight over the use and the protection of water resources.n nWater bodies are symbolized by a fish bowl. nThe environmentalist shown at the beginning of the video tries to protect the fish bowl (i.e. waters), while agriculture and industry aquire the fishbowl in order to use it as a sink for their effluents. nSocietal issues, such as the overuse of waters, can attract the attention of the political realm. nIn order to portray political agenda setting, the video shows a researcher, whose research results contribute to placing a societal issue on the political agenda. nAfter agenda setting, negotiations among different types of political groups start about how to solve an underlying issue. The video first presents a salsa dance, which symbolizes "the state", ni.e. diverse governmental bodies that become active in the policymaking process. nFurthermore, the video shows a hip hop choreography representing agricultural groups, a house dance symbolizing industrial associations, and acrobatics embodying environmentalists. nWith these groups, I seek to illustrate that in policymaking processes diverse interests express their policy preferences and fight over political influence. nThe next scene in the video shows policy actors who form opposing coalitions and stand in conflict with each other. nIt also illustrates that veto players, such as parliaments, can block the entire policymaking process through their no-vote on a legal act. nThe video symbolizes veto players´ power through their action of turning out the music. nThe next scene shows brokers, who mediate in policymaking processes between opposing coalitions in order to find common ground and overcome conflicts. nIn the video, four people representing different interests look at each other and realize that they're dancing the very same dance move, just in a slightly different style. nThe same dance move symbolizes the common ground that brokers typically seek to promote. nThe final choreography integrates dance moves from diverse styles (hip hop, house, salsa) in order to illustrate that through mutual exchange, policy designs have the potential to perform particularly well in solving an underlying policy issue such as improving water quality. nnThe dance video has a happy ending as the water in the fish bowl is finally clean again. Of course, reality is "slightly" more complex than the story in this dance video. nIf you're interested in finding out about the whole story, there is a lot of valuable research to explore in policy studies, environmental governance, and policy network research. nn_nnMusic Credits (CC-Licenses):nn"Sound Opening" by Benedikt Wagnern"Weit oben" by Felix Friedrich, from Sound Cloudn"Opening par Songo 21" by SONGO 21, from Free Music Archiven"Ric Flair" by BenJamin Banger, from Free Music Archiven"Sugar Fairies" by Felix Friedrich, from Sound Cloudn"Hunger Pains" by Audiobinger, from Free Music Archiven"Sueltate Prod By Dj Willie .R.F.C.L.W 2013" by Kaiiny, from Sound Cloudn"Something Small" by Minden, from Free Music Archiven"Dancing Like A Maniac" by Rey Izain, from Free Music Archive Less

I created this video for the competition "Dance Your PhD," sponsored by Science and TED. nnThe aim of the contest is to get scientists to creatively explain their PhD theses through dance. I have a second goal, which is to show what "math research" means (since many people think it means looking up formulas in books).nnIn the first minute of this video, the dancer (Libby) shows how two pentagons are glued together to make a surface. This is the key idea of the video -- the explaining of science, wordlessly, through dance. You will understand it, and you will remember it. This is my favorite part!nnOkay, now step back for a minute. Imagine that you are walking in a straight line on a bagel. Maybe you walk right through the hole, and return back to where you started. Maybe you walk around the outside (like an equator), and return back to where you started. Or maybe you walk in a spiraling path (still in a straight line), through the hole and around the bagel a few times before returning to where you started.nnIn the next part of the video, Libby dances across the pentagon in a straight line. This is exactly like your spiraling walk on the bagel: she dances in a straight line, and goes around the surface a few times (maybe 8, because there are 8 lines on the pentagons) before she returns to where she started and repeats the path.nnWhen Libby dances across the pentagons in straight lines, she dances across the colored edges of the pentagons. We care about which ones she crosses, so we keep track of it by having a Math Hatter with that color shirt get in line. This creates a sequence of colors (which repeats with period 8).nnMy thesis investigates what happens to this color sequence when we change the pentagon surface. We "shear, cut and reassemble the pentagons," which is clearly shown in the video. This changes the original 8 lines on the pentagons to a different pattern -- 4 lines, as it turns out. When Libby dances across these four lines, she's doing a different, shorter spiral around the bagel (if you will). She crosses four colored edges, which gives us a new sequence of Math Hatters. Thesis question: What is the relationship between the 8-color sequence and the 4-color sequence?nnAnswer: Each Math Hatter checks to see if s/he has the same color on both sides, and if so, stays in line (keeps her hat), and if not, sadly has to leave (removes his hat).nnThat's my theorem: Shearing and reassembling the pentagons is equivalent to seeing if the colors are the same on both sides. nnMost videos submitted to this contest use metaphor: "I study titanium bonding to bone, which is kind of like titanium and bone dancing together." I am fortunate that I can show you the actual objects (shapes and lines) that I study, and explain the actual result I proved in my thesis.nnThanks for watching, and for reading this explanation.nnHere is the FAQ about how I created this video: https://vimeo.com/47273811nnThis video has been shown at:n- the AMS Math Research Community at Snowbird, UTn- the Summer@ICERM REU, Brown Universityn- the Anja S.

IF YOU'RE WORKING on your 2012 tax return, you probably aren't in the mood to consider changes that await you next year.
Nonetheless, the IRS wants to hear from you now about something that it's going to implement this year that could affect the return you file in 2014.
The agency recently announced a streamlined option for claiming a home-office deduction. You have a chance to comment on this new option, and your suggestions could help improve the change for tax year 2014 and later, the IRS says. The deadline for comment is, yes, April 15.

Some people think a disciplinarian coach like Tom Coughlin helps a team to commit fewer penalties. Often, the same people think a laid-back coach like Wade Phillips leads to a less-disciplined team and more penalties. Are these things true?

In this week's MNF feature for ESPN Insider, we find that run-oriented teams actually play better when they stick to their usual strategy against teams with poor pass defense.

In conjunction with a big ESPN HOT READ feature today on special teams gunners, this Insider piece looks at the leaders over the past five seasons in three new FO special teams stats: Return Tackles, Return Stops, and Return Saves. If you have been looking for a stat that finally gives Brendon Ayanbadejo, Chase Blackburn, and Kassim Osgood the love they deserve, this is it. For non-ESPN Insiders, we'll re-introduce these stats on FO near the end of the season with an article detailing 2010 leaders.

The first ESPN Insider MNF feature has fun with similarity scores for the young running backs playing this Monday night: Jamaal Charles, Ray Rice, and Shonn Greene. (Ryan Mathews, of course, can't have scores since he's a rookie.) Before you click on the piece, see if you can name the only two players other than Charles to average 5.75 yards per carry with at least 150 carries (since 1978).

Your Views for January 8
'Pork' project?
Abraham Sadegh, in the Jan. 5 Tribune-Herald (Your Views), is a fine example of haole intellectual imperialism.
This self-proclaimed messiah states most of the billions of people on our planet know nothing of Mauna Kea and its value to those who do know of the mountain's traditional religious significance to the Hawaiians.
Does that dismiss the significance of the mountain's sanctity? Most importantly, Sadegh fails to tell us why this project is so pressingly important — perhaps he knows God is waiting at the other end of the mirrors and is anxious to swoop down and save us from our fatal flaws.
The Thirty Meter Telescope is a $1.3 billion project, he writes, which will bring us spiritual blessings into the future. Are spiritual blessings measured in dollars these days? His cup of arrogance and finance runneth over.
Hawaii Island is better suited to be an international "peace center" designed on the aspirations of the late Sen. Spark Matsunaga. Such a center is in perfect keeping with the spirit of aloha. This, along with a permanent home for the International Olympics, built where tomorrow's wars are now being designed, will fill our coffers with money untainted by the desecration of the host people's values and culture.
The world does not need another glimpse into yet another black hole of a neighboring galaxy.
This TMT project sounds like an eternal pork barrel for a perpetual bridge to nowhere.
Snap out of it!
Tomas Belsky
Lack of transparency
I'm very disappointed with Gov. Neil Abercrombie's administration. Transparency has taken a large step backwards during his current term.
It is very difficult to get any significant updates on two stalled (and important) highway projects — the second phase of Queen Kaahumanu Highway widening and the realignment/reconstruction of the final 5.7 miles of the Daniel K. Inouye Highway in Hilo.
I have to jump through hoops to get any updates on these projects, as the governor refuses to acknowledge any of my emails.
The lack of transparency also applies to the state Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration upper management on Oahu and the mainland.
This wasn't a problem during Gov. Lingle's second term. The state Department of Transportation and FHWA were much more open, at least with my inquiries.
We, as taxpayers, deserve to know where things stand with both of these highway projects, without any smoke and mirrors.

KENYA: The International Criminal Court (ICC) will Wednesday lay bare the evidence it has against four Kenyans facing crimes against humanity charges at The Hague, even as two of the suspects scale up their presidential campaigns.
The prosecution is expected to disclose to the defence incriminatory material in the form of witness statements and evidence it intends to rely on during the trials that kicks off a month after an expected titanic presidential duel.
Also to be disclosed on Wednesday are the identities of witnesses that ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda would line up against the suspects when the trials start on April 10 and 11.
Expected in Bensouda's evidence are facts on the alleged State House meeting where Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, former Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura, and President Kibaki are said to have met members of the outlawed Mungiki sect.
During the pre-trial stage, Bensouda's predecessor Luis Moreno-Ocampo convinced the judges that the alleged meeting convened to plan retaliatory attacks against perceived ODM supporters in Naivasha and Nakuru indeed took place.
Government machinery
Ocampo claimed that during the violence that preceded the bungled 2007 presidential polls, Uhuru controlled finances and the Mungiki, while Muthaura controlled Government machinery and security organs.
Former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali, who was acquitted by the court, is said to have acted as an assistant to the structure used by Uhuru and Muthaura to ensure PNU held on to power by attacking ODM supporters.
In their decision on the schedule leading up to the trial in July last year, the three Judge bench set on Wednesday for disclosure of the critical information.
According to the schedule, the prosecution will on Wednesday file a pre-trial brief; a document explaining with case reference the evidence the prosecution intends to rely on at trial.
The pre-trial brief must contain for each count a summary of the relevant evidence of each witness and clearly explain how the evidence relates to the charges.

Samsung Android Galaxy Tablet, aka "sPad" photo leaked
With Apple hitting the 2 million mark on their iPad sales, it's clear that tablet computers are going to be the 4th screen. Rumors of Samsung releasing several tablets are this year rampant, and with their AMOLED technology they could really give Apple some serious competition. The rumors indicate an 8-inch tablet will be announced in October, and a 10-inch two months later in December.

"When are you going to grow out of video games?!"
"When are you going to grow out of video games?!"
Jul 25, 2005 1:05AM PST
Is it just me, or do most gamers tend to hear that a lot? I've probably first heard that a few years ago from pretty much everyone in my house. Now I don't think that anybody could ever be too old for games, games can be enjoyed by anyone at any age. But I guess theres an old sterotype that video games are only for kids or something which is not true, especially now. And its kinda funny cause theres this one person that complains about it, yet he plays video games too *cough*hypocrite*cough*.
I don't know, maybe this has only happend to me...

I know what you mean but I agree you are never too old in fact most games nowadays are for older people and that is why we have a ratings in place to tell people not just what is age appropriate but for us gamers to know what is goofy looking kiddy games and what is buttkicking God of War like game.
Never ever ever eva... no no you cant make me ^_*Posted: Jul 26, 2005 12:00AM PST by Cheko

Nowadays you can make money playin especially girlies the get hired to promote and or play pro. there is always behind the scenes work and or support testing you get the point. Also games have grown up well somewhat, so dont let them spoil your goodtimes.

I hope to be playing videogames till the day I die. And when I'm to old to be playing action games because my reflexes are too slow, I'll play RPGs, so there's no reason to ever stop.
People like thatPosted: Jul 30, 2005 12:00AM PST by neozero
people like that are indeed hypocrits but also don't understand that gamers (not all) compared to non gamers do better in more areas and aspects of life. Gamers also expereince sumting like a interactive book. cause from point a to point be it's all you !
Guess who publishes all the gaming magazines we read?Posted: Jul 31, 2005 12:00AM PST by RPGcraze
Yep. You got that right. There's proof right there for you. Whoever is saying there's an age limit to playing videogames can print this message out and shove it up their hole. Gaming is as much of a hobby/pasttime as basketball, skateboarding, biking, playing cards...well you get the picture. It is not something to be distinguished by age like using diapers is.
Hey dude, not cool!Posted: Aug 05, 2005 12:00AM PST by Coolest_Freak05

You are Never to young and never to old to play video gamesPosted: Sep 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Wulffam
I picked playing video games in my late twenties and I am still at it infact I've transcended to playing online games some six years back.
My video game library has all flavors and my online status has gone from just playing to testing of alpha and beta release for gaming publishers.
Now with my handheld (PSP) I am playing games on the move anywhere any place.
Playing games on or offline is a healthy practice with a dose of good time management thrown in.
Gaming provides stress relief you'll get to add another ten years to your life.
Just be happy with your games and enjoy it as much as you can.
Nope not ever.Posted: Sep 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by anhmeister
Never Will I grow out of it and never will I listen to anyone else tell me this.
I haer it from my mom all the time and she's like what are you going to do with your life when you grow up?
I say make and play games that is my dream that is my calling that is my joy. Never do anything you don't like because then you'll alwyas fail. Do things that you like to do and you'll surely succeed.

TOO Old FOR GAMES?!?!?!Posted: Nov 25, 2005 12:00AM PST by solid_chucky
Nah, i don't think we are ever too old for games. Games are suitable for people of all ages. It entertains, it educates, and the most important thing of all, it helps one to release stress!!! Argghhh, i admit that i can't live without games and will carry on playing games eventhough when i am old. Yup, i agree that we are never too old for games.

Some Old StereoTypes Are Made To Be BrokenPosted: Mar 19, 2006 12:00AM PST by killbill311
At 29, I especially see where your coming from. Just understand that Games are becoming the next big entertainment medium, and now the average age for a gamer is 27 by most recent reports. Theres a reason for ao and m rated games. The reason is that the gaming comunity is becoming older changing the content for an older audience.

You cant grow out of video games. You can just grow to like them more and more. Look at my dad for example hes 48 and he loves playing halo,splinter cell and all those good games. The reason older ppl say stuff like"grow up" and stuff like that is because they never tried it. Gameings like a drug some people take alittle to much some are drug free and some get it when they have the cash....and thats what i got to say on that.

Fixed-Price - Expert ($$$) - Est. Budget: $50 - PostedSkills: OpenVZ KVM Microsoft Hyper-V Server Virtualization
Looking for an experienced server virtualization professional who will spend an hour writing with me on skype. I need to set up a hypervisor on my new server and need to get advice which one to choose together with which manager. I will run on the server a few hundred very low spec virtual machines simultaneously, so I need your advice which hypervisor works best for simultaneous performance. I am currently leaning towards KVM and I also need to know which manager would be the best for my needs and why (proxmox, ovirt, openstack or something else?). I also need to have copy paste functionality and easy connecting to each VM from the manager interface, together with shared folders etc, I basically need desktop virtualization functionality paired with server virtualization performance. I would also like to discuss if container based virtualization wouldnt be better for my needs and if a windows container based virtualization exists.

Combined Federal Campaign
Support Our Troops and their Families through the CFC – Designate #11085
Federal employees can donate to the nonprofits of their choice through the annual Combined Federal Campaign, known as the CFC. Pledges made by federal civilian, postal, and military donors during the campaign season (September 1st to December 15th) support eligible non-profit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.
Show your support of our troops and their families by designating the Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) as a recipient of your CFC contribution. Your generosity will enable us to continue providing programs and services. Programs are tailored to the needs of local military installations nationwide with a focus on helping them cope with the realities of military life, including the stress of having a loved one deployed, additional childcare responsibilities and increased financial burdens. ASYMCA programs and services include such things as childcare, hospital assistance, spouse support services, emergency food and clothing, computer training classes, health and wellness services and holiday meals.
Why the ASYMCA?
The Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) has 34 branch or affiliate locations, supporting 59 of our largest military installations, across the country. Collaborating with military leadership to ensure we are filling the highest priority gaps in programs and services, the ASYMCA provides support to more than 500,000 troops and families each year.
- Approximately 1,100 military children annually receive intervention services to help them deal with the stresses of military life, through the Operation Hero program.
- We have enabled participation of more than 105,000 military children in YMCA programs through the Department of Defense Military Outreach Initiative.
- Through our Operation Kid Comfort program, we have provided more than 20,000 free, handmade, personalized photo quilts to children of deployed service members to help military children cope with the deployment of a parent.
Are we fiscally responsible?
The ASYMCA is proud of our fiscal responsibility. In 2012 we were designated as a top-rated charity by CharityWatch and for the 7th consecutive year received the highest (4-star) rating from Charity Navigator. Rest assured that your donation will be used in the most effective and economical way ensuring the highest support for our service members and their families.
These young heroes and their families are voluntarily serving and sacrificing daily so we can continue to enjoy our freedoms and way of life. Help us help them!
