Al Harris' thank you note
In case you missed it in Sunday's Journal Sentinel, here's Al Harris' classy "Thank You" note to Packer fans. (click on headline to see note)
Harris, who spent seven seasons with the Packers, was released from the team on Nov. 8, nearly a year after suffering a major knee injury. That was the same day in which his time on the physically unable to perform list was to expire.
Harris, who was acquired from Philadelphia in a 2003 trade by then general manager Mike Sherman, started 102 regular-season games with the Packers, missing just 10 games over his seven years dating to the start of this season. He's now playing for the Miami Dolphins.

First series
Ammon Olsen led the way at quarterback to start the scrimmage for the West team. He completed passes to Jamaal Williams (twice), Skyler Ridley and Cody Raymond on the drive. Meanwhile, Williams and Paul Lasike shared rushing duties. Olsen scrambled a few times himself, including a run that went down to the 3-yard line to set up the offense with a first and goal. Williams then punched it in.
Second series
Christian Stewart started things off at quarterback for the East team. He should have had a huge pass play to a wide open Adam Hine running deep down the middle of the field, but Hine dropped the pass. Not deterred by the drop, Stewart completed two passes to Mike Edmunds and one each to Travis Frey and Taggart Kruegar before hitting Terenn Houk in the end zone for a touchdown.
Stewart, Nate Carter, Hine and AJ Moore all had carries on the drive.
Third series
Olsen directed the next drive, but was sacked by Tyler Beck on the second play. He made up for it and then some on the next play, however, by hitting Raymond deep downfield for a 49-yard gain. However, three straight incompletions (including a dropped pass) forced the end of the drive. Iona Pritchard had the lone carry on the drive but was stuffed.
Fourth series
Next, Tanner Mangum got his first action of the day. After he scrambled for four yards, Justin Blackmore sacked him on the next play. A Nate Carter rush for six yards wasn't enough to move the chains, thus quickly ending the drive.
Fifth series
With Olsen again in at quarterback, Lasike played a substantial role in the fifth series, running the ball four times for about 15 yards. Olsen only threw two passes on the drive, one of which was intentionally thrown out of bounds. He did complete a pass of about 15 yards to Apo. However, on the next play Olsen was sacked and appeared to get bent backwards awkwardly, thus injuring him. He eventually was able to get up and walk off the field, and early reports are that he suffered a partial PCL tear in his knee. It's not believed he will need any surgery, although he has yet to get an MRI.
Stewart took over at quarterback following Olsen's injury, but the drive stalled after Hine was tackled for no gain. Tyler Jackson then attempted a 45-yard field goal, which just barely snuck over the crossbar.
Sixth series
True freshman Billy Green then got in on the action, completing passes to Pritchard (twice), Edmunds, and Marcus Mathews. He got a rude introduction to Division I football, however, when he was sacked by Blackmore. An incompletion on the following play forced a punt.
Green, Pritchard and Moore all had carries on the drive.
Seventh series
Stewart led the next drive, although the star was Alani Fua, who batted a pass on first down and then sacked Stewart on second down. Cameron Comer almost came down with an interception of a deep pass on third down, but couldn't hold onto the ball as he hit the ground. Nevertheless, the offense had to punt.
Eighth series
Mangum returned on the next drive and completed passes to Apo, Carter (twice) Raymond and Marcus Mathews, before a Houk reception set the offense up on the 3-yard line. On the next play, Mangum was able to run into the end zone for the score. Carter and Moore also rushed the ball, albeit for minimal yards.
Ninth series
Mangum again led the way on the final drive of the scrimmage. Lasike once again got heavy action, getting one reception and two carries on the first three plays of the drive. Ridley then caught a pass, which was followed up by a quarterback keeper that got good yardage. Lasike then capped off the day in style by running for a 32-yard touchdown.

I am not sure if this has been discussed yet - a friend of mine told me last week about the safety of baby toys. I have collected information on these toys and got to I got to know that these toys are banned in Europe.
This really worries me, as my four weeks old son has these toys in his room and has played on them since he was an infant!
Have you heard of this? What are your thoughts?
Moving this to Family Safety for further discussion.
Some more specifics on the toys would help.
The baby play gym which consist of few hanging toys.
I'm assuming it's the discoveroo baby play gym? I can't find anything that says its banned in Europe or unsafe. It actually looks quite safe to me (no plastic especially!). It is certified in Europe actually, so not banned. Your friend is wrong.

- Overview
ID TECH Insert Reader OEM Module for Magnetic Stripe and Smart Cards
Reads magnetic stripes.
ID TECHs Insert Reader for OEM applications manually reads and decodes up to three tracks of information. It reliably reads media conforming to ISO 7810 and 7811 standards. TTL-level "data" and "clock" signals are output for each track.
Provides reliable, low-cost service.
The readers chassis is molded from a glass and lubricant-filled engineering plastic that supports the magnetic head, as well as a PCB with a landing-style smart card connector. The magnetic head is spring-loaded for good contact with warped or bowed cards. The smart card connector has gold-plated contacts that "land" on the ICCs contacts and create a .02 inch "wiping" action to ensure a dependable connection.
Reads smart cards.
The Insert Reader can also (or instead) be configured to read Integrated Circuit Cards (ICC or "smart" cards) conforming to ISO 7816 and/or EMV standards. A "card seated" switch signals when the card has been inserted into the unit and full connection has been made with the ICC contacts.
Performs quickly and reliably.
The reader module has an exceptionally small footprint, as well as three threaded inserts for secure mounting in any position. A separate molded bezel attaches to the readers chassis to guide the card, and can serve as a mount for an optional tri-colored LED indicator. The reader has an open internal design that allows foreign matter entering through the bezel to fall away and not clog or otherwise obstruct the card path.

Hmmm....my EFC = 0. I wonder if I did something wrong....or maybe its just b/c I'm a poor recent graduate with no income or savings to speak of.
Aren't you considered independent of your parents since you are pursuing a JD? Unless you are looking for grants, I thought EFC had no bearing on the amount of federal loans you could receive for law school. Maybe I am wrong, but this is the impression I got.

My fiance (an American) works for Oracle here in the U.S. When he started some thirteen years ago the bulk of his work was being a code monkey, but over the years more and more of that has been outsourced to India.
His dad is a computer programmer from back in the days when mainframes took entire rooms, and together they have been known to gripe about the fact that what used to be pages of beautifully written code has become a butchered mess they can hardly decipher all in the name of cheaper labour.
[Over the long-term] Americans are losing the ability to perform these skills and with that loss they are losing the ability to compete on a global scale. Regardless of party lines, both parties are equally guilty about enabling companies who outsource and neither party is particularly interested in actually solving the issue.
American politics is like a shell game, each candidate tries to distract the voter by pointing out the others shortcomings but in reality they are both just trying to hide the same crummy plastic ball.
Sherry Halfyard, business consultant in Tempe, Arizona:
The work search project I am connected with [the AARP Foundation, once known as the American Association of Retired Persons] is shifting to contracting an American call centre company for client management and support services.
In addition, one of our partner organizations, Tree Rings (seniors serving seniors) is hiring nationally, on a large scale, people age 50+ to work in regionally based call centres.
Although, customer service representatives in India and the Philippines earn on average $2,400 a year while North American equivalents earn $20,000 to $40,000 annually with potential to earn upwards of $90,000. Rationale is that an American operator can answer the calls quickly and potentially sell extra services. Due to cultural and language challenges most overseas calls take much longer and even with the labour costs are proving to be less effective.
Perhaps manufacturing will continue to be outsourced, however, the trend is that customer service jobs are coming home.
Meredith Nelson lives in Raleigh, North Carolina:
Outsourcing has been of serious concern in North Carolina: a major portion of the furniture making business has moved overseas.
Today, there is a resurgence of high-end furniture being made in the state. While the industry is by no means booming, it is certainly starting to hold its own.
Herein lies the conundrum: the North Carolina furniture industry is hiring, yet despite substantial retraining programs many jobs remain vacant – employers are having trouble finding people with the skills needed to fill vacant posts.
Outsourcing has changed the economic landscape. Even as jobs start coming back there is no guarantee that the work force, as it exists today, will be able to fill them.
Jeff Gebhart, IT manager in Oak Ridge, Tennessee:
[My] presence in the United States is, in large part, an "insourcing."
I've worked for my present employer since 2002 in various capacities (as a contract consultant, later as an employee). I worked in our Calgary office until mid-2007, at which time I relocated to Tennessee. My job didn't really change in any appreciable way, but my local address did.
So, instead of shipping my salary and benefits money up to Canada to pay for me, they now pay that money here in Tennessee. The money they were spending on me (my company is U.S.- based) is now put to work in the U.S. economy.
Brian Monkman, technology project manager in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania:
I originally entered the United States under a temporary visa (TN visa) that was a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) treaty. So, to a number of folks I work with, and that live in the rather conservative part of Pennsylvania I live in, the job was awarded to someone who was not originally a resident of the U.S. Not the same as the job being outsourced, but not a very distant second.
In my job I deal with a significant number of companies that manufacture products. A significant majority of these companies ship the manufacturing process offshore as well as the software development process. This obviously impacts the U.S. job force.
The big question for me, and one that will prompt (I predict) contentious discussion, is: has globalization been a net positive or a net negative thing for the U.S.? It is important for all of us who are here as a result of a NAFTA-related visa or an H1-B [temporary foreign workers visa] to not forget that we are here as a direct result of the forces of globalization.

Dylan at 70 3
by Buzz Poole
Lurking in everything Dylan has ever done, for better or worse, is the myth of America, its chameleon-like quality to be everything to everybody its greatest asset, permitting openness, not for the sake of change but because of its necessity. This is the history Dylan, who turns 70 years old today, has drawn from to create his own history.

The Weird Sisters: CocoRosie's Grey Oceans 8
by Emily Colette Wilkinson
CocoRosie's mythology is equal parts Victorian childhood and modern Gothic. The freak folk/trip hop duo are innocents who know about the dark side, but still believe in angels, fairies, God, St. Nicholas, rainbows, unicorns, Armageddon. The sisters' haunting, perverse lullabies tend to make lovers or haters of their listeners pretty quickly.

COMMENTARY Amid losses, India's left will grow stronger
NEW DELHI -- While the Left parties here went from 61 seats to 25 seats in the parliamentary elections, their mood is upbeat. The coalition which includes CPI and CPI-M will continue the strategy of building a Third Front, meaning building up non-Congress forces and anti-BJP forces. The BJP is a far-right, Hindu chauvinist party and the main opposition to the Congress-led government.

Bulgaria's Health Minister Halts BGN 30 M of Procurement
Public procurement procedures worth BGN 30 M were launched in the healthcare sector during the last days of Plamen Oresharski's cabinet, the interim Health Minister revealed.
Miroslav Nenkov said on Thursday they were to be frozen as they contained a number of flaws, including in the tenders envisaged.
In his words, the ministry would not abandon the procedures started by Nenkov's predecessor Tanya Andreeva, but would consider how to fix their issues, the website Dnevnik.bg reports.
The biggest single procurement involved the so-called "electronic healthcare", at BGN 12 M, but the requirements set out by the ministry were not clear and precise enough, Nenkov explained.
He cited as a particular problem that the ministry placed an order for an electronic system that could be used by only 1000 computers, and it was unknown who would use it since GPs alone number 5000, and all pharmacies and hospitals should also be connected.

Lung testers were popular items in the Victorian era. But those engineered to play pranks on fraternity brothers were very rare. In this prank, a candidate for membership to the Modern Woodmen of America, The Shriners, The Moose, The Elks, etc, blew forcefully into the nozzle, tripping a complex lever and spring system, causing a 32 cal blank to explode; flour is suddenly scattered over the candidate's face. Silent w/soundtrack. This peculiar item was invented and patented by the DeMoulin Brothers of Greenville, Illinois in the early 1900s. It was offered for sale in private catalogs sent to Fraternal lodges. It was one of the DeMoulin Bros.

City Blights, City Flights, City License
Thank you to L.A. Weekly and advocates like Dennis Hathaway for raising awareness about the billboard-blight issue ["Digital Billboards Become a Bohemian Blasphemy," by Christine Pelisek, Nov. 19]. What troubles me the most is the lack of accountability and transparency when the City Council considers these issues, such as in 2006, when they approved the settlement agreement with the billboard companies with little public discussion or disclosure. On March 3, the people of Los Angeles have an excellent opportunity to prevent the continued mismanagement of our city: Vote for a change in the City Council election and bring into office individuals who actually represent the will of the people!
Gary Slossberg, L.A.
Daniel Heimpel is correct in observing [in "City of Los Angeles vs. All Persons," Dec. 12] that many folks are leaving (or wishing that they could leave) L.A. Two of our neighbors have moved to smaller cities nearby for the schools alone. Others leave to avoid the business tax. Others get fed up with the reality that residential concerns and quality-of-life issues get drowned out in the mad rush to approve large building projects without a proper assessment of their impacts (or the ability of the city's infrastructure to support them). Yes, people are frustrated. Yes, people are leaving. (Most people don't enjoy fighting with their city, suing to be heard and watching special-interest influence shape public policy.) Perhaps we can interest Burt Bacharach in updating his song, "Do You Know the Way to San Jose." Can you hear the chorus on "Do You Know the Way FROM old L.A.?"

As a parent who miraculously has convinced his junior high school son to ride his bike to school (three miles each way), I am aghast that L.A. City requires licenses for bicycles! ["Ticket to Ride," by Devin Browne, Dec. 19] What a waste of people's time — for the riders, and the poor, already overworked government employees who must create the paperwork and enforce this absurd law. The city ought to be paying bike riders for keeping themselves in better shape, reducing the congestion on our roadways, reducing the wear and tear on our roadways, and keeping our air clean.

Bravo to Patrick Range McDonald for his wonderful article on public access ["Shutting Up the Little Guy: AT&T and L.A. City Hall Quietly Lead a National Push to Force Public Access Off the Air," Dec. 12]. My show, The Stanley Dyrector Show, has been on public access for 15 years. Now, sadly, not only my show, but many other shows that have much worth may very well be tossed aside like so much refuse. Shame!

If you really are considering watching it I recommend you skip the filler arc. There's maybe one or two random filler episodes, but watching them shouldn't be that tormenting. The anime ends after about 175 episodes but stops in the middle of an arc. After that you should just read the manga.

it's fine. it has its epic moments, but it can drag a little out, when it comes to the fillers.

there is two shows, hellsing and hellsing ultimate.

the other one, branch of the manga at some point and makes its own ending. not bad but not as good either. you should watch it, it's really good.

Anytime 6A powers like the defending state champion Daphne Trojans and Prattville Lions tangle, one can expect not only a ton of prospects, but a highly competitive football game.
Such was the case Friday night at an electric, standing-room-only Stanley Jensen Stadium, where a bevy of recruiting reporters and college scouts were on hand to check out what turned out to be a tight, completive game.
When all was said and done, Prattville took care of business and advanced to round three by a 13-3 score.
To the categories:
Top prospectsI'm going to call this one a two-way tie between Daphne's two best players, one on offense and one on the "d." Auburn commitment T.J. Yeldon entered the contest with nearly 2,000 yards rushing, and on this night went for 89 on 26 carries against the Lions. He added 19 more on four catches.
"Last year, T.J. was a slot (receiver) guy who played some running back," said Daphne coach Glenn Vickery. "Now, he's bigger, faster and stronger, and this year he's had more chance to spend more time as a runner. That year he's spent as just a running back has helped him."
Yeldon also lines up in the Wildcat, and entered the game three-of-five passing. He's listed at 6-2, 215, and remains a firm Auburn pledge, despite the Crimson Tide's efforts to stay in the hunt for his signature.
On the other side of the ball, the Trojans are led by Ryan Anderson, a 6-3, 240-pounder who plays middle linebacker.
"He's gotten 40 pounds heavier, he's stronger, and he didn't lose any quickness," said Vickery of Anderson's progress during the last year. "He understands the game better, and he's got that year of maturity under his belt. He's always been a student of the game, and he's even smarter now."
Anderson is expected to compete for time at the 'Jack' linebacker position in Tuscaloosa, and could possibly move to end with added weight. He showed both hustle and quickness by chasing down a quick future teammate/Prattville quarterback three times on one possession alone. He showed athletic skills by leaping high to snare a 19-yard pass on a fake punt. He can apparently play tight end if needed. He had around a dozen tackles.
Seniors who shinedPrattville teammates Justin Thomas (5-11, 170) and Caleb Gulledge (6-5, 275) are both headed to Tuscaloosa. Like Marquis Maze, Thomas is a high school quarterback who will likely be on the receiving end of the passes at the next level. He's the Lions leading rusher, and came in with just under 600 yards. Thomas ran for 45 net yards Friday night and threw for 25 more. He lost a six-yard touchdown run to a holding call, and lost a 38-yard touchdown pass on a drop.
Gulledge was originally committed as a defensive lineman, but will likely end up at guard on offense. He plays right tackle for the Lions, and does a good job, according to Vickery.
"He's hard to move, and it's hard to get off his blocks," said the Trojans coach.
Lions defensive lineman Justin Shanks (6-3, 290) is headed to Tallahassee and has been having an inconsistent senior season.
Juniors to watchDaphne quarterback T.J. (a popular name in Baldwin County) Fleeton is 6-0, 195 and runs the Trojans offense nearly flawlessly.
"He's had a great year," Vickery said. "I don't know where he'll fall as a prospect, but he's been a good player for us."
Other Trojan juniors on the recruiting radar could be 6-0, 170-pound receiver Chris Sain and 6-2, 290-pound offensive lineman Robert Alexander. Sain wears No. 11, and on this date 11/11/11, he caught four balls for 72 yards. A guy who is fun to watch is receiver Jonathan McGaster (5-9, 155).
For Prattville, the top 11th-graders include left tackle Austin Golson (6-6, 260) who is currently committed to Florida State but other schools like Bama and Auburn aren't backing off.
Battle of the bannersIt's funny sometimes to check out the smack talk on the large signs the cheerleaders hold up for the players to break and run through pre-game. It will be a long time until I see one funnier than what Prattville came up with this week. Their message to Daphne: "Tell you girlfriend you'll be free next Friday night." Hilarious.
How 'bout them burgers/dogsThe Prattville radio crew always hooks FNL up with some food, and on this night they called on both Steak and Shake for burgers and Sneaky Pete's for hot dogs. Despite having used my Veteran status for a free meal at Chile's just hours earlier (and those chicken fingers were good), I had to take my Prattville buds up on their offer, and indulge.
The burgers were tasty, particularly the toasted buns. And the hot dogs, well, if you've ever had Sneaky Pete's, you know they're good.. Unlike a stadium dog, these are grilled, not boiled, and it shows in the taste. Thing is, I'll have that jingle, "Sneaky Pete's: The way hot dogs ought to be" in my head for days. But that's OK.

When he filled out his bracket for the NCAA men's basketball tournament, Felix Espinosa tossed his lucky quarter into the air for each round.
It landed tails every time for his Villanova Wildcats, taking them to the championship game this year at Madison Square Garden. At least on paper.
Despite a somewhat shaky victory Thursday night against the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the tournament's first round, students on the school's campus on Friday expressed high hopes for the Wildcats, a team that has maintained a near constant presence in the tournament since the mid-2000s.
"Got to stay true to the quarter," said Espinosa, 20, a Villanova criminology major who grew up in New York City. "You can't mess with Lady Luck."

From btrfs Wiki
This page lists problems one might face when trying btrfs, some of these are not really bugs, but rather inconveniences about things not yet implemented, or yet undocumented design decisions.
Please add new things below, don't forget to add a comment on which version you observed this.
Affecting all versions
Block-level copies of devices
- Do not make a block-level copy of a btrfs filesystem to a block device, and then try to mount either the original or the copy while both are visible to the same kernel.
- This means: don't use LVM snapshots, or any other kind of block level snapshots; don't make copies with dd.
- If you must do this, remove one copy from the system (physically, or by deletion of the block device or FS) before mounting the other copy.
- It is safe to copy the data to a file (e.g. with dd), but not to make that file into a block device with the loopback driver.
- This problem is due to the UUID on the original and the copy being the same. This confuses the kernel, and it can end up writing updates to the wrong filesystem, causing massive data corruption.
- Files with a lot of random writes can become heavily fragmented (10000+ extents) causing trashing on HDDs and excessive multi-second spikes of CPU load on systems with an SSD or large amount a RAM.
- On servers and workstations this affects databases and virtual machine images.
- The nodatacow mount option may be of use here, with associated gotchas.
- On desktops this primarily affects application databases (including Firefox and Chromium profiles, GNOME Zeitgeist, Ubuntu Desktop Couch, Banshee, and Evolution's datastore.)
- Workarounds include manually defragmenting your home directory using btrfs fi defragment. Auto-defragment (mount option autodefrag) should solve this problem in 3.0.
- Symptoms include btrfs-transacti and btrfs-endio-wri taking up a lot of CPU time (in spikes, possibly triggered by syncs). You can use filefrag to locate heavily fragmented files (may not work correctly with compression).
- On servers and workstations this affects databases and virtual machine images.
Version specific
- In kernels 4.0+: the empty block groups are reclaimed automatically that can affect the following:
- a converted filesystem may not be able to do a rollback because of the removed block groups
- There were problems found with the snapshot-aware defrag that has been turned off in the following kernels:
- 3.10.31, 3.12.12, 3.13.4
- all newer than 3.14
Historical references
List of issues going back 18 months from current release (kernels: 3.14+, date: Mar 2014). Older issues will be moved to a separate page.
- Stable kernel version 4.0.6 fixes a regression in raid1 conversion, works fine on 3.19 and 4.1
- conversion from eg. single or raid0 profiles to raid1 made no change to the filesystem
- Stable kernel version 3.19.1+ can cause a deadlock at mount time
- Fixed in 3.19.5, 3.14.39
- workaround: boot with older kernel, or run btrfs-zero-log to clear the log. This will lose up to the last 30 seconds of writes to the filesystem. You will have to reboot after running the btrfs-zero-log command, to clear the jammed locks.
- fix: scheduled for 3.19.5, or apply 9c4f61f01d269815bb7c37.
- also affected: 3.14.35+, 3.18.9+
- bcache + btrfs was not stable with bcache with old kernels but is apparently ok with 3.19+
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/31018 user report (2013/12)
- Versions from 3.15 up to 3.16.1 suffer from a deadlock that was observed during heavy rsync workloads with compression on, it's recommended to use 3.16.2 and newer

Pacific 2010: Adam Lambert's show a mixed bagJuly 28th, 2010, 12:47 pm by GEORGE A. PAUL, FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
In the midst of his unusual Middle Eastern-tinged take on the country classic "Ring of Fire," Adam Lambert sang about flames going higher and higher. But Tuesday night, in his first of two performances at Pacific Amphitheatre (and the only show this season to take place while the adjacent OC Fair is closed), the proceedings seldom burned brightly.
Although last year's unique American Idol runner-up dazzled everyone on hand with lasers, eye-popping outfits and four dancers who looked as if they stepped out of the 1985 video for Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero" (the ravaged desert look was probably inspired by the Burning Man Festival, which Lambert has attended), many elements of the gig still came off erratically.
For starters, the pacing and song selection needed work. A remix of the title-track single from Lambert's debut For Your Entertainment, used as a video introduction, seemed to go on forever and wasn't properly performed at all. (You might recall its risqué live display last November at the American Music Awards proved controversial and the artist was subsequently dropped from several ABC television programs.)
Frontloading the set with two lesser-known numbers ("Voodoo," "Down the Rabbit Hole") that are bonus tracks on the album's deluxe and international editions, then following them with the aforementioned Johnny Cash cover, also were puzzling moves. And an acoustic segment, during which the singer sat on a mini-staircase used for grand entrances, was awkward, despite his falsetto workouts and nearly operatic vocals on the ballads "Whataya Want from Me," "Soaked" and "Aftermath."
Plus, the early part of the 55-minute, 13-song set was rushed. Verses were excised here and there and the four-piece band (anchored by ex-Yellowcard drummer Longineau Parsons) plowed right into songs -- not exactly medleys, more like the truncated, Idol-dictated approach. Adhering to a Pac Amp curfew and two preceding opening acts probably didn't help.Read the rest of this entry »

Authors: Khaghani, Pouya Abstract: SNO+ is a multipurpose scintillation-based neutrino experiment which is located at SNO- LAB, Creighton mine, Sudbury. The primary scientific goal of the experiment is searching for the elusive process of neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. In addition to 0vbb decay, SNO+ will be able to detect low energy solar neutrinos, geo- and reactor- anti-neutrinos, as well as supernova neutrinos. During an initial water phase, it will also search for invisible modes of nucleon decay. This thesis briefly introduces neutrino physics and discusses the milestones in chapter 1. Chapter 2 discusses the SNO+ experiment in detail and outlines important developments in SNO+. Furthermore, chapter 3 and chapter 4 describe the two main projects that have been done by the author: i) leaching studies for the SNO+ experiment and ii) the neck sense rope system. Looking for rare events requires very stringent background limits. One of the sources of background originates from 222Rn daughters implanted into the inner surface of the SNO+ acrylic vessel. They can leach into the detector volume and increase the level of internal background. A leaching model has been developed by the author to estimate the activity and contribution to the backgrounds. The model is compatible with the measured value from a lead assay to within 1 sigma. The SNO+ sense rope system is a mechanical system which monitors displacement of the AV neck to within 2mm accuracy. The system has been calibrated and installed underground alongside with the sliding floor. Chapter 4 discusses the system, the performed calibration and the installation procedure in more detail. 2015-11-16T00:00:00Z Fat Subtraction Protocol for Wide-Angle X-ray Scatter Analysis of Breast Biopsies https://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/handle/10219/2572 Title: Fat Subtraction Protocol for Wide-Angle X-ray Scatter Analysis of Breast Biopsies Authors: McDonald, Nancy Abstract: Breast cancer detection often involves the use of mammography to locate sus- picious lesions followed by extraction of some tissue within the lesion via a biopsy procedure. The gold standard method for determining whether the extracted tis- sue is malignant or benign is an histological analysis. However, complimentary x ray methods such as x-ray uorescence (XRF), small-angle x-ray scatter (SAXS) and wide-angle x-ray scatter (WAXS) have been investigated by various groups. The focus of this dissertation was to develop a WAXS fat subtraction protocol for the WAXS analysis of breast tissue biopsies. The WAXS signals of breast tissue could become an additional source of diagnostic information. Healthy breast tissue is composed of fat and broglandular ( brous) tissue. Com- parisons of the WAXS signals of broglandular and cancerous tissue are di cult be- cause biopsies of either type usually contain some fat tissue. The ability to look at WAXS signals independent of the fat contribution could be informative. The goal of this work was to validate a WAXS fat subtraction protocol using an animal tis- sue sample consisting of a mixture of fat and brous tissue. The di erential linear scattering coe cient d s=d of a region of interest (ROI) within the sample was measured via energy dispersive x-ray di raction measurements using a custom built CdTe di ractometer. The mean fractional volume of fat ( fat) within the ROI was estimated using a digital x ray imaging system. The transfer of the sample from the iii WAXS system to the digital system required accurate knowledge of the ROI. The use of fat in a WAXS fat subtraction model then allowed the d s=d of brous tissue to be estimated. The signals obtained via the subtraction protocol agreed well with the signals obtained using pure tissue samples. The scattering coe cient d s=d is a function of the momentum transfer argu- ment x = 1= sin( =2), a variable that combines the dependence of scatter on photon and scatter angle . Accessing a larger x space could provide more information about the nature of breast tissue. Modi cations to the custom built di ractometer were implemented in order to access a larger x space. Speci cally, the capability to measure signals at smaller and the use of higher kV beams were the outcomes. Pre- liminary results obtained with water, polymethyl methacrylate, and polycarbonate samples were promising, yet suggested that better collimation is required between the sample and the detector in order to reduce scatter contamination from objects located downstream from the sample. 2016-03-21T00:00:00Z X-Ray Scattering Point Models for Breast Cone-Beam Computed Tomography https://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/handle/10219/2547 Title: X-Ray Scattering Point Models for Breast Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Authors: Laamanen, Curtis Abstract: The purpose of this work was to determine via simulations the potential use of sim- plified scattering point models in full-field breast Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). A many Scattering Point (MSP) per incident beamlet model and a Single Scat- tering Point (SSP) model were tested against Geant4 simulations, as well as against each other. Comparisons were made using both homogeneous as well as heterogeneous phantoms. The homogeneous phantoms were cylinders, 14 cm and 7 cm in diameter and 10.5 cm in length with various fibroglandular(fib):fat compositions. The hetero- geneous phantom was the 14 cm phantom mentioned previously, but modeled as pure fib with a number of smaller embedded cylinders composed of fat. A second configu- ration with the compositions of the main and embedded cylinders swapped was also tested. The simulation used a 60 kV tungsten anode spectrum with a HVL of 3.7 mm Al which irradiated the simulated breast phantom over 300 projections. The detector was modeled as 300 × 300, 1 mm2 energy integrating pixels, with a DQE of unity. Both of the models approximate the cone-beam as a number of individual beamlets (300 × 300 to match with the detector) with scattering points placed along their in- tersections with the phantom. The MSP model incorporated a single scattering point per 1 cm of incident beamlet length within the phantom. The SSP model used an adjustable single scattering point positioned at a fractional depth within the phan- tom. By comparing results from these two scattering point models, values of were determined which would yield SSP model scatter approximations matching those of iii the MSP model. Both models were tested against Geant4 simulations for their ability to adequately estimate the scatter signals upon the detector. The SSP model was also tested for its ability to correct for the cupping artifact in reconstructed images of the heterogeneous phantom, without assuming knowledge of the inner heterogeneous geometry. The Hounsfield Units (HU) obtained with primary photons were 48.5±3.18 and −159 ± 23.0 for fib and fat respectively for one of the heterogeneous phantom con- figurations. Due to the cupping artifact in the reconstructed images which included scatter, these values were −46.6 ± 18.9 and −215 ± 34.0 respectively. Following cor- rections for the single scatter, via the SSP model, the corresponding CT numbers became 52.3 ± 3.67 and −161 ± 23.3. It was encouraging to see that a simple model can minimize the effects of single scattered photons during CBCT of a heterogeneous phantom. The HUs obtained post-scatter correction agreed well with those obtained with primary photons. The preliminary findings encourage further efforts for thoroughly testing these scatter point models' applicability for obtaining higher quality CBCT images. 2016-03-01T00:00:00Z EVALUATING SNO+ BACKGROUNDS THROUGH 222RN ASSAYS AND THE SIMULATION OF 13C( , n)16O REACTIONS DURING WATER PHASE https://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/handle/10219/2496 Title: EVALUATING SNO+ BACKGROUNDS THROUGH 222RN ASSAYS AND THE SIMULATION OF 13C( , n)16O REACTIONS DURING WATER PHASE Authors: Rumleskie, Janet Abstract: SNO+ is a large multipurpose neutrino detector searching for rare interactions. Some backgrounds come from naturally occurring 222Rn and its daughters within the 238U chain. Under development are cryogenic trapping assay systems which will monitor the 222Rn levels within scintillator, water, N2 cover gas, and small detector materials. These systems can measure concentrations up to 8 105 Rn atoms/L (1:6 1017 g 238U/g LAB) within scintillator, and 4.75 1015 g 238U/g H2O in water. The status of the assay systems are discussed within. 13C( ,n)16O reactions occur from 222Rn's progeny 210Po, but Monte Carlo simulations predict < 0.4 events within the SNO+ ducial volume of 5.5 m and 5 - 9 MeV region of interest over a 9 month running period within water. 2015-10-14T00:00:00Z

Alfred G. Knudson, Jr, MD, PhD
Alfred Knudson, 93, the husband of former ASEF president Anna Meadows, died July 10, 2016 after a long illness. Dr Knudson, an internationally known oncologist and scientist working since1976 at Fox Chase Cancer Center, made major contributions to the field of cancer genetics. He was best known for his ground-breaking "two-hit theory" on the origins of cancer: it takes two mutations to a gene for cancer to develop, the first one often hereditary and the second might be due to chemical exposure, radiation, etc. It helped to explain the relationship between hereditary and non-hereditary forms of cancer and predicted the existence of tumor-suppressor genes.
In the process of a long and productive career, Dr Knudson won many honorary doctorates and prestigious awards, including the Lasker Medical Research Award and the Kyoto Prize.
Anna Meadows herself has had a long and illustrious career at CHOP and UPenn as an international leader in the study of childhood cancer and late complications following tumor therapy.
A Memorial Service for Dr Alfred Knudson will be held at 11 AM on Sunday, September 18, 2016 at the College of Physicians, 19 S. 22nd St., Philadelphia, PA 19103. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.

Every war has at least one - a unit so different, so daring, that it becomes the stuff of which legends are made and heroes are born. Among the South African forces fighting in Angola from 1975 to 1989, that unit was 32 Battalion. Founded in utmost secrecy from the vanquished remnants of a foreign rebel movement, undefeated in 12 years of front-line battle, feared by enemies that included both conventional Cuban armies and Namibian guerrilla fighters, the Buffalo Soldiers became the South African army's best combat unit since World War II, with no fewer than 13 members winning the highest decoration for bravery under fire. But when peace broke out in southern Africa, the victors of Savate became the victims of sophistry. Their fate and future determined by politicians who understood little and cared less about this truly unique fraternity, 32 Battalion ceased to exist in 1993, its short history and long list of battle honours known only to those whose enemies called them Os Terriveis - the Terrible Ones. Now, for the first time, the story of 32 Battalion can be told in full, with neither adornment nor apology, by one of its longest-serving members. The book draws from top secret documents, revealing information that has never been made public before. Also included are rare photographs that evoke the colourful, and often controversial, history of 32 Battalion, as well as detailed maps depicting specific operations and deployments.

When Len Slesick decided to publish a collection of paintings, his choice for the book's subject was obvious.
Len Slesick's book of artwork
What: "The Keeper of Time," 60 paintings by Len Slesick of the Palo Duro Canyon
Cost: $30 for paperback, $40 for hardback
Where to buy: Slesick's gallery in Sunset Center, 3701 Plains Blvd.; Hastings stores; Barnes & Noble; online retailers, including www.amazon.com
Book signing events: 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at Sunset Center; 2 to 4 p.m. July 13 at Carson County Square House Museum, 503 Elsie Ave. in Panhandle.
Palo Duro Canyon.
Slesick, a longtime Amarillo artist, has painted more than 150 images of the canyon since the early 1970s.
His first book, "The Keeper of Time," includes 60 of those paintings, spanning 25 years, from as early as 1982 to as recent as 2007. The first printing of the book arrived in stores this month.
Slesick began working on the book about five years ago.
The 60 selections, all in either oil or pastel, depict various locations throughout the 120-mile-long canyon.
"I wanted to include works from different times of the year, different atmosphere conditions, different moods," Slesick said.
Most of the paintings are representational landscapes, but a section of works is dedicated to Slesick's "contemporary" works.
"These images are where nature and abstraction meet," he said.
After narrowing down all the images he wanted to include in the book, Slesick wrote short descriptions for each piece. The book also includes a brief history of Palo Duro Canyon and a summary of some well-known artists who have painted in the canyon.
Slesick published "The Keeper of Time" through AuthorHouse, a self-publishing company.
"When Len first told me about the book, I thought it was a wonderful project," said Garry Nall, a former history professor at West Texas A&M University, who viewed Slesick's manuscript early in the publishing process.
"He is such a talented artist. His works really show the beauty of this region," he said.
"The Keeper of Time" sells at Slesick's gallery in Sunset Center, 3701 Plains Blvd., and at major bookstores and online book retailers.
Paperback copies are $30, and hardback copies are $40.
Slesick will sign copies of the book from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at his gallery and from 2 to 4 p.m. July 13 at the Carson County Square House Museum.

this is not STARS or anything related to Syd Barrett. An interview with Twink reveals that Syd's guitar playing was coherent and matured in 1972 - this mess is anything but mature and coherent. Twink also makes clear that only Syd's solo material and blues jams were ever performed or rehearsed by STARS - there was no new original material written.

As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series "regular season" comes to a close, the drama and excitement of The Chase takes to the track at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. The upcoming event in Atlanta is all that remains before "The Road to Richmond" culminates atRichmond International Raceway on Saturday, September 8 with the Federated Auto Parts 400—"One Last Race to Make The Chase."
After last weekend's race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Greg Biffle, Jimmie Johnson, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have clinched top-10 spots in this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Matt Kenseth also clinched himself a postseason berth and is guaranteed at least a "Wild Card" position.
This week, every driver currently in the top 10 can clinch a top-10 spot at Atlanta. This turns the focus to the "Wild Card" hunt. As it stands, any driver ranked 11th-24th still has a shot at making the Chase. Notable drivers looking to race their way into the Chase with a "Wild Card" berth include: Kyle Busch (13th in points and the provisional holder of the last "Wild Card" spot), Jeff Gordon (14th), Ryan Newman (15th), Marcos Ambrose (16th) and Joey Logano (18th). Not mentioned in that group is Carl Edwards. Edwards is ranked 12th in points, but still needs a victory to become eligible for a "Wild Card" spot.
With so many drivers teetering on the bubble, here's a look at some facts about some notable Chase hopefuls and how they have fared at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
Jeff Gordon This weekend last year, Gordon won his 85th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. So far, it's been a tough 2011 season for Gordon, and as it stands now, he is on the outside looking in for the final "Wild Card" position. Currently sitting 14th in points with one win on the season, he needs a good finish and a bad day for Kyle Busch. This week he's 2nd on the driver rating list at 104.1 to go along with his 5 career victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Kyle Busch Kyle is currently the provisional holder of the last "Wild Card" spot behind Kasey Kahne. At Atlanta, Busch has one career win and comes in with an 11th-best driver rating of 90.6. A victory this weekend would make it tough for the rest of his competitors to knock him out of that last spot.
Expect these drivers to be in the thick of the "Wild Card" hunt as "The Road to Richmond" ends at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, September 8, for the Federated Auto Parts 400 "One Last Race to Make The Chase." Once the checkered flag flies, the field will be set for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Only those in the top 10 and two "Wild Card" drivers will be eligible for the championship over the final 10 races of the season.

For me it was a gift from a sort of ex friend. SO came home with a bag and said she had stopped by and dropped it off for us. When we opened it we found inside a super girly pink nursing pillow with three extra covers that were all varying shades of pepto bismal pink, and a baby sling that was also super girly LOL. And they all smelled really bad! We just thought it was kinda funny and weird at the same time cause she knows we're having a boy! We decided to let our neighbor have them (after we wash the heck out of them) since she's due with a girl soon : )
Anyone else get anything weird? LOL

You never know what you're going to get with a fashion show. You might get some genuinely interesting designs or even a radical new garment altogether that, with a little polishing, could actually end up on hangers in stores a few years later. Or, you might get a head-to-toe body suit made entirely out of rubber baby bottle teats, or a fully nude man wearing a propeller beanie, or something that you would actually expect Lady Gaga to be wearing at that very moment.
What we're saying is, the fashion world can be pretty hit and miss, and it can be tough to draw the line between design genius and flamboyant designers just trolling the audience for laughs. Which is why we're so conflicted about these awesome… no, stupid… wait, no, brilliant… Japan-inspired designs from New York-based designer, Thom Browne.
Hot Topic was once known as the best place to find Johnny the Homicidal Maniac swag at the mall, though now it seems like the chain is willing to sell whatever the kids are looking to buy.

As most of our readers of the male persuasion will no vividly doubt remember, there was a bit of a fashion craze a few months ago for a specific style of sweater which Japanese Netizens simply dubbed, "The Boob Shirt."
The titular (heh heh) turtleneck featured an oval window exposing the cleavage of the (usually) female wearer. Now, never having needed to expose my ample cleavage to the elements, I'm not exactly an expert on the thermal properties of human breast tissue, but it seems most of the Internet agreed with me that having a big open window in the middle of your turtleneck sort of defeats the purpose of wearing a sweater.
Well, it seems now high fashion has done what it does best and built on the uselessness of The Boob Shirt with the brand new, even more useless, "Side-Boob Shirt":
We have bid farewell to the year of the horse, and welcomed in the Year of the Sheep.

Or maybe it would just be easier to transform your dog into a sheep for the New Year instead!
Remember the Muji Fortune Can that we featured a few days ago from our favorite minimalist home goods store, Muji? Following that welcome discovery, our Japanese reporter also managed to get her hands on both a Muji Women's Clothing Lucky Bag and a Muji Health & Beauty Lucky Bag.
Although she was content with most of the surprises, there was one clothing item in particular that stumped her–can anyone give her a few tips on how best to wear it? Don't miss her mini fashion show after the jump!
When your average Westerner thinks of Japan, what's most likely to spring to the forefront of their minds? We're betting that sushi, samurai, anime and geisha are up there in the top ten, with sushi being the best-known incarnation of Japanese food abroad. But it seems that stylish overseas consumers aren't satisfied with simply eating their sushi – they want to wear it on their bodies, too, so everyone can see how cool and cutting-edge they really are. Join us as we take a look at some of the weird and wonderful sushi fashion items available for purchase right now.

Brothers to open first brewery in Rutland CountyBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | November 05,2012
BRANDON — Brothers Patrick and Daniel Foley have specialized in making local red wine at their family-owned winery since 2008, but later on this month, they will start selling home-brewed beer as well.
"I have been brewing for four or five years," Daniel Foley said. "I started off with small batches and recently stepped it up."
The brothers started Foley Brothers Brewery, an expansion to the Neshobe River Winery their family has owned for the last four years. Once it opens later this month, it will be the first brewery in Rutland County.
"The Vermont Brewer Association told us that," Patrick Foley said. "We are kind of stoked about that."
He said one of the biggest motivators to wanting to start a brewery was the fact that they can brew every day.
It is something that does not happen while making wine.
"When you make wine, it's a couple of months," he said. "Traveling to other breweries, we saw that they are brewing every day."
To start they are offering two types of beers – the Ginger Wheat and Brown Ale – which will be available first wholesale in 22-ounce bottles.

ABM, one of the largest facility service providers in the U.S., acquired The Linc Group in 2010, and needed to figure out how to deal with with several work-order management systems that could relay work activity to employees in the field. A solution, developed by Xelleration, led ABM to the cloud.
ABM needed to develop a solution that "pulled information across platforms into a simple interface," write Katie Knoll and Anthony Novotne of Xelleration. Workers needed to be able to view the status of current work activities, take on new ones and earn rewards to encourage efficiency and quality, "all inside a secure device agnostic field-deployable application."
Using Microsoft Azure, Xelleration and other partners crafted an application called "Social Compulsion," which united ABM's international workforce together as one, integrating with other work order management solutions while providing backward compatibility for legacy systems.
With Social Compulsion, high-performing employees are acknowledged on a leaderboard and are given the first opportunity to either accept or reject a work activity.
