Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are thin‐film, superconducting resonators, which are attractive for making large detector arrays due to their natural frequency domain multiplexing at GHz frequencies. For X‐ray to IR wavelengths, MKIDs can provide high‐resolution energy and timing information for each incoming photon. By fabricating strip detectors consisting of a rectangular absorber coupled to MKIDs at each end, high quantum efficiency and spatial resolution can be obtained. A similar geometry is being pursued for phonon sensing in a WIMP dark matter detector. Various materials have been tested including tantalum, tin, and aluminum for the absorbing strip, and aluminum, titanium, and aluminum manganese for the MKID. Initial Ta/Al X‐ray devices have shown energy resolutions as good as 62 eV at 6 keV. A Ta/Al UV strip detector with an energy resolution of 0.8 eV at 4.9 eV has been demonstrated, but we find the coupling of the MKIDs to the absorbers is unreliable for these thinner devices. We report on progress probing the thicknesses at which the absorber/MKID coupling begins to degrade by using a resonator to inject quasiparticles directly into the absorber. In order to eliminate the absorber/MKID interface, a modified design for implanted AlMn/Al UV strip detectors was developed, and results showing good transmission of quasiparticles from the absorber to MKID in these devices are presented.

Before 1978, women serving in the U.S. Army were segregated from men into the Women's Army Corps (WAC). That year marked the official disbanding of the WAC, and thus women began integrating with men during basic combat training (BCT) and noncombat military occupational specialties (MOSs). This historic decision to end segregated training required the U.S. Army to evaluate women's physiological responses to the physical demands of military training. As of 2013, the 1994 Direct Ground Combat Definition and Assignment Rule excluding women from serving in direct combat roles was rescinded, resulting in the availability of over 14,000 military jobs that were previously closed to women (6). Because women integrate into combat MOSs, the physiological demand placed on them during military skills training and occupational tasks will be greater than the physical requirements of noncombat MOSs. The ability to lift and carry loads, often for extended durations, is a recurrent physical demand in hostile and austere environments. The evolution of modern warfare has brought about an increase in external loads requiring soldiers to carry more weight (40). This occupational demand may be a contributing factor in the exponential increases in musculoskeletal injuries (35,36). Therefore, there is an emerging need for strength and conditioning professionals to prescribe and manage physical training (PT) programs that will meet the challenges within these military roles. This article will discuss peer-reviewed research regarding the importance of a periodized training program for female soldiers, the physical response to various exercise stimuli and military movements, and suggest training strategies to improve physical and military performance.
Currently, women comprise approximately 15% of the U.S. military, 13.6% of the active Army, and serve in 95% of all occupational specialties (5,22). Most of these MOSs can be physically arduous, especially combat MOSs, requiring individuals to perform occupational tasks that involve lifting, carrying, climbing, throwing, crawling, and load bearing (≥40 kg) at a moment's notice (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/SCJ/A137, which demonstrates combat MOS tasks) (18,23). The physical demands of these tasks use both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems. Considering the fitness levels of both men and women, research suggests that women may have baseline strength levels that are lower than that of most men, underscoring the necessity to develop training programs that address physical limitations and meet the current needs of the military (16,18).
The Army is currently conducting an evaluation of combat MOS tasks (e.g., load carriage over long distances, sprinting short distances to overtake a hostile position, carrying personnel to safety, and repetitive lifting of heavy objects), which will provide insight into the physiological demands of each occupation and help shape the design of the PT program. A previous examination of military occupational tasks of a light infantry unit revealed that the majority of tasks require moderate-to-high outputs of muscular strength, muscular endurance, and mobility (26). Currently, soldiers in these types of units will conduct tactical movements carrying an "approach" load averaging 46 kg for 6–8 km patrols twice a day in a combat environment. These tasks place a high physiological demand on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, other tasks require a high level of muscular strength. For example, dragging a 123-kg casualty to safety or moving pieces of a bailey bridge weighing 94 kg for 50 m (Figure 1).
Traditionally, military PT conducted at the unit level overemphasized aerobic exercise and muscle endurance and typically lacked strength, agility, and power training—components of fitness that correlate well with the physical demand requirements of many occupational tasks (e.g., repetitive box lifting, climbing, and carrying loads). The lack of adequate strength and power training as part of a PT program may result in injury and lost training days because soldiers attempt to perform high-intensity occupational tasks that they are physically unprepared to perform. Understandably, injuries not only lead to a loss of training days but also lead to increases in costs from clinical encounters and personnel shortages (9,30,41).
Injury reduction seems to be optimally managed using a concurrent aerobic and resistance training program that includes a dynamic warm-up and cool down. Without the correct exercise prescription, the risk of injury is increased as a result of physical unpreparedness when attempting to meet the physical demands of military occupations. Previous studies have reported that low levels of fitness and slower 2-mile run times are associated with greater risk of injury (12,14,17). For women, having the fitness capacity to sustain a high-intensity workload is important. In a study by Knapik et al., (17), it was reported that women had over twice the injury rate for all injuries, likely because of the high relative intensity of the physical activities encountered during BCT. Evidence suggests that improving physical work capacity through the integration of a properly periodized strength and power training program concurrent with aerobic and endurance training will positively influence injury reduction (20,25).
The implementation of injury reduction strategies are important considerations for an effective PT program. Exercise modalities that improve bone mineral density (BMD) and thus reduce the likelihood for stress fractures should be used (21). Stress fractures among female soldiers can be problematic for military service and occur at a higher rate in females compared with males entering the military (4). Evidence suggests that resistance training may be an effective stress fracture reduction measure when prescribed appropriately. Several studies have examined the effects of resistance training on BMD, and the results are encouraging. For example, 8 weeks of PT that includes a combination of aerobic and resistance training results in changes in bone biomarkers indicative of increased bone formation, an important consideration when developing PT programs for women (7,8,21).
During the performance of job tasks, military personnel are often required to safely execute quick, explosive, and repetitive movements, as well as be able to carry heavy loads, all of which can be vital physical attributes associated with combat survival. Adding an agility training component to the PT program will ensure that female soldiers strengthen the neuromuscular movement motor patterns that will both improve performance and also mitigate injury (2,3,25,27,31).
Soldiers often endure physically demanding work environments; therefore, superimposing intense PT sessions onto daily occupational demands has the potential to result in unplanned overreaching and overtraining. Although heavy resistance training, agility training, and high-intensity training positively influence injury reduction, body composition, and fitness when prescribed appropriately (18,24,28,38), female soldiers may respond differently to such training (18,39). This may require longer recovery periods between bouts of intense exercise, modified PT workouts, or both to prevent overtraining and injury. It is up to the strength and conditioning specialist to ensure that the PT program takes into account all facets of the soldier's demands of daily living to ensure that adequate recovery and progression occur and to ensure that injury and overtraining are minimized.
Progression and specificity are key factors to the success of any fitness program. A gradual introduction of exercise stress allows steady adaptation to higher levels of physical performance. Traversing rough terrain and obstacles, both in urban and mountainous environments, are current environmental barriers that a soldier must negotiate. Therefore, progressively introducing training modalities that improve balance, proprioception, and agility should be considered and can easily be integrated into the dynamic warm-up portion of the workout (20).
Performing repetitive lifts, carrying equipment and ammunition, wearing a "fighting" load (≥29 kg), and climbing over around and through obstacles require soldiers to maintain their muscular strength and endurance. Multijoint lifts, such as squats, pull-ups, deadlifts, rows, and so on, must be part of a routine developed to maximize physical preparedness. Workout days should alternate from high intensity (>85% repetition maximum [1RM]) to lower intensity (<67% 1RM) throughout a week to meet these demands. The repetitions and sets should correspond to the intensity level (Table 1). Distance running, sprinting, and hill repeats should also be included throughout training to maintain aerobic capacity. General strength exercises and multijoint lifts should be performed before specific single-joint exercises.
Several studies have shown that conditioning programs consisting of resistance and cardiovascular training in female soldiers improve physical performance, including adaptations in strength, power, and endurance, and also show that resistance training reduces gender differences in physical performance (10,15,18,19,31). Kraemer et al. (18) examined several periodized resistance training programs over a 6-month period. Subjects in the study were grouped into a total or upper-body only strength/power exercise program using 3- to 8-RM loads, a total or upper-body only strength/hypertrophy exercise program using 8- to 12-RM loads, an aerobic-only group, and a field exercise group. The field exercise group was limited to body weight, partner-assisted resistance, and ballistic exercise. The results of the study demonstrated that improvements were specific to the type of training program used. Significant improvements were observed in military occupational tasks such as repetitive box lifting in both the total body and upper-body resistance training groups. The study also demonstrated improvements in 1RM squat and bench press in the field training group during the first 3 months of training, supporting the inclusion of alternate training methods into a strength training program when traditional resistance training equipment may not be available. Most importantly, because it relates to the disparity of strength between men and women, this study demonstrated that 6 months of resistance training reduced the gender gap in physical performance measures. Moreover, all female soldiers in the resistance training groups successfully attained scores in the 2-minute push-up, 2-minute sit-up, and 2-mile run events that would pass the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), whereas the same was not true in the aerobic or field exercise groups. To support the importance of resistance training as an effective strategy to improve the ability to perform occupational tasks, Knapik (16) also reported that progressive resistance exercise with interval training improved the manual material handling capability of female soldiers. Additional studies support a combination of various types of training that include strength, power, ballistic, and plyometric exercises to elicit the greatest performance improvements in women (11,13,29,37).
When monitoring the strength and conditioning program, it can be expected that men and women may exhibit different responses to the program, especially in new trainees. Kell (15) examined the absolute and relative strength of men and women with previous resistance training experience after a 12-week traditionally periodized resistance training program. The program was a split routine with intensity of 55–87% for 3–4 sets per exercise. An approximate 28–38% increase in strength was seen in both female and male soldiers as a result of the periodized resistance training. Although the men were stronger in absolute terms, the women were more responsive to the training program.
The APFT is comprised a 2-mile run and 2 minutes of push-ups and sit-ups. Desired outcomes of an Army PT program should not only be based on measurable improvements in the performance of the APFT events. By military standards, physical improvements should include decreased run/loaded march times for a specific distance and increasing the number of push-up and sit-up repetitions in a given time. Improving performance safely and effectively with considerations of daily mission requirements and operational tempo are necessary metrics by which to monitor workouts, performance, rest, and recovery. Resistance training provides a stimulus by which women can significantly improve strength, and thus increase the likelihood of safely and successfully performing military occupational tasks that require a strength component.
The use of a periodized resistance training program allows for planned variation in the exercise stimuli through changes in volume and intensity (1,19,20,32–34). The 2 major models of periodization are linear and undulating (nonlinear). Linear periodization is a classic model that uses gradual increases in the training intensity while decreasing the training volume between cycles. Undulating periodization has more frequent adjustments in the intensity and volume, thus providing greater demands on the neuromuscular system and continuous changes on the stimuli (33).
An undulating periodization program can be modified based on the acute demands of the mission that may warrant rest/recovery. Increased awareness of lifting and movement technique coupled with neuromuscular adaptations may result in better task performance, reduced plateau in training, and a decrease in musculoskeletal injuries (33,40). Soldiers need to vary their daily intensity and volume to maximize strength increases and avoid stagnation. Particularly important is the ability to track unit training that may affect or be affected by PT. Many Army units have training cycles that can be physically and psychologically demanding. This information will be useful because the periodization scheme of the PT program is developed along with an understanding that acute amendments to the PT schedule may be warranted based on feedback and the daily physical status of soldiers (e.g., delayed onset muscle soreness, illness, fatigue, and so on).
Occupational demands (e.g., load carriage, box lifting) often require multijoint functioning, and several studies have examined long-term effects of multijoint exercises on the physical performance in women. Kraemer et al. (18,19) showed that a nonlinear program focused on strength and power using multijoint exercises was capable of producing continued increases in muscle hypertrophy in untrained women beyond 6 months. In another study, Reynolds et al. (31) conducted a 24-week periodized strength- and running-based training program in 45 recreationally active women, which resulted in a 33% improvement in maximum box weight that was lifted to a height of 52 inches. When posttraining results were compared with a sample of Army men, the women's average maximum box weight lifted was 81% (117 lb) of the box weight lifted by men (144 lb). Additionally, the study found that the women's loaded marching speed was 80% (4 mph) of the men's speed (5 mph) after completion of the training program. Although female soldiers were not able to lift as much weight as their male counterparts, the average weight lifted by women at the conclusion of this study falls within the MOS Physical Demands Rating of "heavy" by the U.S. Army. This study further supports that a periodized exercise training program results in significant performance improvements in women, thus narrowing the margin of fitness outcomes between men and women (Figure 2).
Competitive athletes generally tailor their PT to a specific sport and position and periodize their exercise training so that they are at their peak physical performance during a competitive season or event. Soldiers, however, must possess a strong foundation of fitness consisting of a myriad of physical capabilities that draw on all facets of physical and psychological fitness necessary to successfully maintain a state of physical and operational readiness. Considering that women are integrating into broader military occupational roles that are often physically arduous and conducted in hostile and austere environments, appropriate PT is the conduit to unit physical and operational readiness.
As the PT program is developed, the unique set of skills and physical capabilities (e.g., baseline fitness measures, military task requirements, and rate of physical progression) of all soldiers in a unit need to be assessed, along with an understanding that acute or daily adjustments may be needed based on operational tempo and soldier feedback. Additionally, disparities exist between men and women in baseline fitness measures of power, muscular strength, and endurance, which are important considerations when developing and implementing a PT program. A concurrent PT program consisting of both cardiovascular and resistance exercises that physically tax all muscle groups and develops all fitness parameters is a requisite to successfully perform military occupational tasks and mitigate injuries. Additionally, an undulating periodized fitness program will optimally prepare the female soldier for future endeavors that require a high level of physical preparedness while also reducing the potential for injury. It is the responsibility of the strength and conditioning professional to design PT programs that increase the physical work capacity of women by enabling them to attain their maximal physiological potential.

The acronym F.b.E. stands for FAMiLY before EVERYTHiNG ! In today's ever changing world, people, places, and objects are constantly changing, however, one thing remains constant… FAMiLY ! A wise man once told us : " you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can NOT pick your FAMiLY ! "
That being said, how is the relationship that you have with your FAMiLY ? Chances are there is something WE could all do to iMPROVE to the relationships WE have with OuR loved ones. Regardless of what is bothering US, or keeping us from our FAMiLY, there is NO EXCuSE for making OuR children suffer as a result. Children are OuR FuTuRE, and by building resentment into their lives, hostility and hatred become more of a REALiTY that WE are all faced with. Although it may not be "OuR' problem right NOW, it may eventually effect one of your loved ones, and the worst emotions to live with is REGRET ! The choice is simple… " JUST DO iT !"
WE would LOVE to take the credit, but the TRUTH is, "F.B.E" was originally a phrase used by a family in WEST Philadelphia (born and raised)

A new study out from the University of Tennessee (UT) and IBM underscores something many of you have known for a long time: Integrating purchasing and logistics improves business performance. The study also points out that many organizations don't exploit this potential, instead keeping purchasing and logistics in separate silos.
"Together, purchasing and logistics can account for 70 percent of an organization's costs and influence 80 percent of its working capital through inventory and accounts payable," says Ted Stank, UT Bruce Chair of Excellence and an author on the study. "Clearly, purchasing and logistics have a huge impact but often won't collaborate with each other to make decisions that will positively impact the firm's overall performance."
The study, "Bending the Chain: The Surprising Challenge of Integrating Purchasing and Logistics," included information from 180 supply chain professionals working in a variety of industries in companies that ranged in size from $20 billion to $100 billion.
"Bending the Chain" unveils four best practices from supply chain leaders who have successfully integrated their purchasing and logistics functions:
"High-performing companies are able to bend the chain—whose links include planning, sourcing, making, and delivering—to better align the purchasing and logistics functions," Stank says. "As a result, they are able to serve their customers better."
Bending and integrating
While you are probably not surprised by the findings of the UT study, how many of the previous best practices are used in your business? The APICS Operations Management Body Of Knowledge Framework describes integration of suppliers, internal supply chains, and customer systems as follows: "The integration of supply chain elements is the essence of an effective supply network. Collaborative planning and sharing of information and data is critical to synchronized, efficient flow of material to the end user of the supply chain."
If you are not taking advantage of the UT study's best practices, APICS can help you get started. The APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation demonstrates your knowledge and organizational skills for developing more streamlined operations. Consider that since its launch in 2006, more than 13,000 professionals in 77 countries have earned the APICS CSCP designation.
Another important resource for measuring supply chain management performance is the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR®) framework, which was developed by the Supply Chain Council (SCC), and encompasses the plan, source, make, and deliver aspects of the supply chain. I anticipate the merger between APICS and SCC will be final in July, but we already have started planning how the partnership will enable greater access to the SCC SCOR model and its training programs that can greatly benefit supply chain processes.

Stratford – A grandmother was charged with a misdemeanor summons after briefly leaving her grandchild in the car after she ran into a store, according to police.
Police received a complaint Wednesday afternoon that a child had been left unattended in a car in the parking lot at 444 Ferry Boulevard, according to a press release.
When officers arrived they discovered a three-year-old child in a Honda Accord sleeping in the child safety seat. The car's windows were all closed, the car was unlocked and the engine was not running.
Officers observed an airflow in the car indicating the air conditioner was blowing however the engine was not running.
The car's operator and grandmother of the toddler Rosanna Sinatra exited the Par Pool Supply Store and approached officers. She told officers she had briefly stepped into the store for about five minutes.
Sinatra also told officers the toddler was sleeping and she did not want to disturb the toddler. There were no injuries to the child.
Rosanna Sinatra, age 59, of Stratford, was issued a misdemeanor summons and charged with leaving a child under 12 unsupervised in a motor vehicle.

Nearly forty years of performing has stripped the Kronos Quartet of its ability to shock. If the group continues to surprise, delight, and confound its audience, as it did during two sets last night in the Southern Theatre, the string quartet has considerable more license as it continues to find new directions.
Its thematic breadth has grown richer, as well.
Last night, the group played love songs, a tragic opus about 9/11, pieces about the fundamentals of music, and one filled with irony.
They made them all their own, from commissioned works to several that required radical rearrangement for four performers.
Steve Reich's jarring and emotional commission WTC 9/11 included electronic embellishments. Like his work about the Holocaust, it featured a persistent throb carried by the violins of David Harrington and John Sherba. Frequently, though, the violins, violist Hank Dutt and cellist Jeffrey Zeigler played melodic snippets in unison with found recordings — of a busy phone, witnesses to the Trade Center attack, victims' recollections and news clips.
The effect was devastating as the dashed phrases suggested both shattered glass and shredded lives.
Richard Wagner's Prelude from Tristan und Isolde was unique, as it was adapted from full orchestra by composer Aleksandra Vrebalov. Scaled to four voices, the remake marvelously retained the euphoric swells while it took liberties with a passage that suggested the original's harmonic impact on modern music.
The four musicians pushed limits anew, performing on other instruments, from sitar and hand drum to an exotic collection of electronic gizmos.
The second set closed with Nicole Lizee's Death to Kosmicsche, an extended piece that not only explored a complicated structure and included an ironic edge, but employed several instruments that harkened back to the era of '50s sci-fi soundtracks. Dutt stroked one like an old Theremin, Zeigler strummed another that looked like a plastic electric zither, Harrington bent the antenna of a tiny robot, and Sherba finished the piece by wrestling a hand-held turntable.
All four worked from a score. One can only imagine the musical notation.

subbed, there would have to be at least one mad bastard who's tried them
i saw a sponsor was carrying cheque drops. i did a little research on them and they seem pretty bad ass...in good ways and in bad. I was wondering if anybody in the IronMag family has any experience with them? If so what were your gains and sides and do you feel it was worth it? I have never seen anybody on this forum say that they have used them...not sure if thats bc they are bunk/new/hard to get/ or too harsh like oral tren. thanks for any input.
subbed, there would have to be at least one mad bastard who's tried them
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
its rumored mike tyson was taking them for the holifield fight when he bit his ear off. they do say they increase aggression like none other lol.
personally ive used em twice...theyre comparable to Anadrol....i gained 18 lbs on 55 mls over 8 wks. Got cock strong. Alot of water weight....gives a real smooth look but size. Libido was crazy!!!its the most androgenic steroid on earth and the most toxic. over 40 times more androgenic that testosterone. If ur gyno prone....ull get it!
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
now when its taken *sublingual its mainly to avoid first liver pass as much as possible.
(*)subligual means you disolve it under your tounge just like a heart tablet and it passes through the membranes to get to the vessels directly, some people suck tablets so less of it goes through the liver and some gets directly absorbed into the system, you might try that with teh anadrol your taking now but it's gonna taste shitty.
Cheque drops are extremely potent, perhaps the most potent androgen known to man. According to the manufacturer, "When compared to methyltestosterone, it is 41 times more potent as an anabolic agent and 16 times more potent as an androgen." The most probable usage for cheque drops is for administration to upper level athletes 30 to 40 minutes prior to an event that requires extreme aggression and adrenaline. To adapt the drug to bodybuilding purposes purports a much more complicated dosage system. Due to its toxicity, cheque drops should not be used longer than two weeks at a time, and at low dosages. Ideally, cheque drops should be used at 5mg a day or more. However, that would lead to prompt physical illness, more than likely resulting in death. In order to find a medium that is possible for the modern bodybuilder, it is important to remember a few key aspects of the compound. Keep in mind that the dosages appropriate are only used to increase aggression, which can subsequently increase strength. The actual anabolic effect at these low doses is limited. Furthermore, long term use (beyond two weeks) will lead to testosterone suppression and liver damage. Using the drops sparingly (1-2 drops at a concentration of 200-250mcg 30 minutes prior to a workout for no more than 2 weeks at a time) will provide a boost in training and aggression. Many users report breaking personal lift records when utilizing the compound. If the drops are used short term, testosterone should bounce back rather quickly. However, due to the risk of suppression, it is best to use the drops while on an anabolic stack in order to ensure elevated test levels. Seeing as the drops are only used as a supplement to lifting, it can be used when bulking or cutting. It does not aromatize, so if used in the context above, Nolvadex, Armidex, or other anti-aromatase agents are not necessary, nor is the use of Clomid.
I have seen the liquid oral version for sale, but its pricey

Weldingman used them some, but he's not posted in a while. I know some fighters and powerlifters use them because the induce hyper aggression. They use them in dogs to get them to breed or fight whatever the case may be. The Tyson thing was never proven. He's just a natural idiot.
I know Naps will be bringing them in soon.
50 tablets (100mcg/tab) for $15.00
Soon as they are in i might give them a bash.
Yes, their toxicity is so harsh they are dosed in mcg NOT mg. The chemical is "mibolerone." Mibolerone was originally created to prevent female dogs from going into heat. Gotta love it!
Although Halotestin would not offer the same intensity, it would be the next best thing if your looking for the instant-aggression effect.
I remember weldingman saying his g/f always told him they were going to end him up in jail for killing somebody.
Cutting Hurts, But I Want To Be Hard ! ! !
Sounds fun.
Naps has had them listed for a while, just not sure if they're in stock.
so if my goal is size/strength do yall think this stuff is even worth messing with or should i just go adrol. never did either and was wanting to try something different. im usually a dbol guy.
Size strength go with Dbol.

Yes, rugby was by far the best sport I've ever played and when I added Halo - I reached an extra "gear" (no pun intended lol) that I didn't know I had.

Apple Stock Split Seen Benefiting Online Brokers
Single stock activity for Apple "lagged relevant averages," in its first trading day after the split, according to Chubak. However, about 1.2 million options contracts traded, representing a roughly 270% increase compared to the 12-month daily average of 450,000 contracts.
Assuming that upsurge is sustained, Chubak estimates it would add about 2% to consensus 2015 earnings for TD Ameritrade and 1% to E*Trade.
"While these figures are certainly not game-changing, we believe this potential benefit is not yet reflected in consensus; thus, any sustained increase in AAPL options activity is 'gravy' from our point of view, and should provide some additional revenue/earnings support," Chubak writes.
E*Trade shares were down 2.25% in late morning trading Tuesday to $20.67 while TD Ameritrade shares were lower by 1.09% to $30.76. Shares of both e-brokers gained on Monday.

I have a problem I'm working on for a study guide, but it's worded a little oddly compared to the other problems.
Set up the integral and find the volume of the bounded region with the washer/disc method.
15. Below by y=3x^2_1 and above by y=4, rotated about the line y=4.
It doesn't seem like it should be that hard, but again the wording is throwing me off. Any help would be much appreciated. The answer is (48pi/5). I just need to figure out how to get there.
I think he means the bounded part between the parabola and the line (bounded below by the parabola and bounded above by the line). If so, the integral goes like:
where radius is , and min(x) and max(x) are the x-coordinates of the intersection points.

Sound familiar? Even the little bit of fun I managed to squeeze in around all the chores and errands felt more draining than relaxing. What a way to live!Sunday brings thoughts of Monday. Monday brings another set of challenges and obligations. The week ahead is crazy-busy. I am juggling as fast as I can and I am worn out. I am anxious. Anxiety leads to burnout. Burnout can lead to depression and illness.So, I am making it a priority to turn down the noise in my life. I will slow down and do what matters most. I will say, "No." And I won't feel guilty.I don't' know about you, but I don't want to spend another Sunday dreading Monday.

Tribute to Teo Macero - May 18th at NYU
May 13, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: analog, brian eno, compositions, electric style, guest soloists, jazz orchestra, jazz program, loewe, master manipulators, Masters, miles davis, Notes, nyu, razor blade, saxophonist, semi retirement, sessions, sonic tapestry
Long before the digital era and its master manipulators - Brian Eno, J Dilla et al - producer Teo Macero was splicing analog reels from various Miles Davis sessions, creating the sonic tapestry of Miles' early electric style. The saxophonist, composer, and master of the razor blade will be remembered at a memorial service this Sunday, May 18 at NYU's Loewe Theatre, 35 West 4th Street, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event is open to the public.
Macero spent his later years in semi-retirement, occasionally helping the NYU Jazz Program. He produced two CD's with the NYU Jazz Orchestra featuring his original compositions. Special guest soloists will join the NYU Jazz Orchestra for the memorial.
IAJE Evening 2 - A Night of British Jazz
January 11, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: bass jazz, british invasion, british jazz, courtney pine, Discovery, european jazz, first appearance, IAJE 2008, jazz competition, jazz funk, jazz musicians, jazz orchestra, last act, Live Music, martin taylor, night in tunisia, occasional references, panoply, Places and Spaces, queen elizabeth, solo version, stagecrew, tommy smith, trombonist dennis rollins
Courtney Pine, the British jazz musicians turned Jazz Crusader for BBC2, presented an evening of British Jazz at IAJE. I missed the first set from Empirical, winner of the 2007 EBU European Jazz Competition. I got there for the band's final notes.
Pine quickly introduced Martin Taylor, who jumped onstage a little early. Since the stagecrew wasn't ready for the band, he entertained the audience with a solo version of "I'm Old Fashioned." Here it is:
Martin Taylor - I'm Old Fashioned
I supposed you're predestined to play guitar when your named Martin Taylor, since that's the name of two highly regarded luthiers. Taylor made his first appearance in Toronto 25 years ago. This performance was his return engagement. It's been a while. Here's a cut from the full band:
I was totally blown away by the next act. Kids from Scotland who play like they've been playing together for years. Check this out, and tell me if you think they sound like novices...
Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra - A Night in Tunisia
The last act, I suppose, represented "the future." Trombonist Dennis Rollins has been raking in the awards in Britain. The music was certainly fun and dance-ready. Occasional references to "Summertime" and "Work Song" notwithstanding, I would call this a tightly arranged ensemble that combines a panoply of styles, including drum-n-bass, jazz, funk, and garage. Hear what I mean:
So there you have it. I guess you can't call this show The British Invasion, since we're technically in Canada, where Queen Elizabeth is the head of state. - Josh

Now we format the drive in NTFS and run our test once more time:
The Sarotech FHD-254UF2 is again both the fastest (on the FireWire interface) and the slowest (on USB 2.0) enclosure at the same time. The Agestar IUB201 is the second best and is followed by the Thermaltake Silver River.
The next diagram shows the read speed at the beginning and end of the disk for each of the HDD enclosures. This diagram actually summarizes the data-transfer graphs we've published at the beginning of this section.
The diagram is indicative of the efficiency of the controllers of the tested devices. The controller of the Sarotech FHD-254UF2 is the best using the FireWire interface since this interface doesn't limit the drive's performance much. Alas, the same enclosure proves to be the slowest when attached via USB 2.0 – and the data-transfer speed remains almost the same in any part of the disk. The same thing can be observed with the Tekram TR-621S and the Agestar IUB2A6 – they are just a little better than the USB-connected Sarotech FHD-254UF2.
The last diagram shows the average disk access time. Although there are small gaps within the diagram, we want you to note that the drive has the lowest average access time when inserted into the Sarotech FHD-254UF2 enclosure and connected via FireWire.

Pantone Debuts its Nylon Brights Collection
May 17, 2011,
CARLSTADT, N.J.-Pantone has launched its newest color group, The Pantone Fashion + Home nylon brights collection. With 21 electric shades in a nylon format, this new collection now provides designers developing products in nylon materials with a standard for accurate color selection, specification and reproduction.
The collection comes as brights have been making a resurgence at retail. "After years of 'playing it safe,' consumers are once again embracing color - in a big way," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of fashion, home and interiors at Pantone. "From the runway to the retail selling floor, vibrant, lively colors continue to make an impact on the world of fashion and design. Our nylon brights collection was developed to inspire designers with a selection of colors that energize and excite."
The collection is available as a set of nylon swatches, which includes a BHT-free amber UV protective pouch to protect the colors when not in use, as well as swatch cards. All colors in the nylon brights collection are dyed in Nylon 6.6, which has improved light fastness and wash fastness over Nylon 6. The set is available now for $99.95, while the swatch cards are sold individually for $12.95 for a four-inch-square, double-folded fabric card (which is 4 by 8 inches unfolded).

October 8, 2002
Business N456
1:00 pm
PRESENT: Davida, Glass, Parsons, Perez, Sander, Schwartz
I. CALL TO ORDER AND APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Parsons called the meeting to order at 1:10 p.m. The agenda was approved as presented.
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The October 1, 2002 minutes were approved with amendments.
III. PERSONS WHO WISH TO BE HEARD (Not longer than 15 minutes): There were no persons who wished to be heard.
Parsons met with Provost Wanat.
Parsons attended the APBC meeting. Dean Thurman met with the committee and introduced the following
4 themes for the School of Education:
1) Deepen partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools – May begin a partnership with Shorewood, 75% of School of Education faculty work
in public schools
2) Increasing students and faculty diversity – minorities are claiming UW-Milwaukee is not a friendly environment
3) Strengthening the use of technology – school has a hard time replacing equipment and currently use 189 funds
4) Increasing fund raising actions – the school has a $2 million goal
Thurman stated that the School of Education declined to participate in the $35 million grant.
The plan for the $600 thousand dollars remaining from the 02-03 budget will be used in searching for 12 or 14 new positions which includes faculty, advisors and data management.
At the next scheduled APBC meeting, the committee will begin reviewing the 2003-05 budget proposals.
C. Parsons participated in the Faculty Reps teleconference meeting.
(1) The Faculty Reps were introduced to Christine Flynn Saulnier, the newest member of Academic Affairs, who will serve as a liaison to the Faculty Reps. Saulnier came from Boston University and was a practicing social worker who received her Ph.D. from Berkeley. Her expertise is in program and curriculum development. One of her focuses will be to help fully integrate Service-Learning.
(2) The Faculty Reps were asked to help set the agenda for the year.
According to Vice President Cora Marrett, there are two residual issues: shared governance and the faculty's role in "Engage Wisconsin".
The following issues were suggested and discussed by the Faculty Reps:
l. Budget. Marrett pointed out that the state requirements limit flexibility and suggested addressing the budget in two ways:
2. Quality – Campuses need to assist the Board of Regents (BOR) in understanding that the stakeholders in the quality issue are both faculty and students and that quality is about process as much as it is about outcomes (share best practices among campuses). It was suggested that BOR should conduct a few campus visits to talk to faculty and students on the view of "quality".
The presentation that will be made to BOR enumerating measures of quality points out that the indicators of interest to parents and students (jobs after graduation, amenities in the dormitories, etc.) are quite different from faculty indicators.
Tenure - UW System has promised to provide a report to
the BOR about tenure. The BOR wants to
hear from the Faculty Reps regarding the issues that need to be addressed.
(e.g., What are the conditions for granting tenure?) The BOR are concerned about the lack of clarity within campuses
and within departments. The following
standards are unclear to BOR: What is
service?; Why is it that some departments weigh only research?
The BOR want an action Policy and campuses want a Process. The BOR don't understand the role of the various committees who review the cases for tenure.
The Faculty Rep from Stevens Point
stated that on that campus teaching is the top consideration for tenure and
"research" is broadly interpreted.
Marrett stated that the 3 area
approach (teaching, research, service) is often quite disconnected. Marrett appointed a subcommittee to
collect/study various models.
The Faculty Rep from Whitewater said that the Whitewater campus is moving to standards-based tenure criteria. Several campuses reported shifting away from the emphasis on teaching and toward an emphasis on learning. This creates challenges about how to assess student understanding and student-based outcomes will have to be included.
Parsons urged the UC to suggest a mechanism for UWM to articulate what this campus feels is important for UWM and BOR to understand about
the importance of tenure and the tenure process.
(3) The October BOR Meeting at Whitewater
Education Committee
Wisconsin has a newly formed chapter of Campus Compact and this will be presented to the Education Committee. Campus Compact is a national program based out of Brown University. Several private Wisconsin institutions of higher education have formed this chapter; Parkside is the campus leading UW System engagement with the Wisconsin chapter. This connects to Pres. Gottschalk's "Engage Wisconsin" slogan. Civic Engagement is critical. This Campus Compact is a way of engaging faculty and students in community service and service learning.
Whitewater will present its data on disability/diversity and success. Due to budget cuts within the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, the department is cutting back money for students in campus programs.
Business and Finance Committee
The committee will address the issue of campuses not being staffed to deal with the rapid shifts in federal funding guidelines and new regulations. The issue of understaffed infrastructure on local campuses was introduced at the September BOR meeting. The Board's concerned because theirs is the final accountability endorsement for reports on grant spending prepared by these understaffed local campus offices. The Business and Finance Committee scrutinized one UW program regarding the financial feasibility of an athletic training program.
PK-16 Task Force
UW System is committed to high-quality and seamless progression through all levels of education in Wisconsin. Both the federal and state governments want PK-16 planning. Sharing (teacher preparation) needs to be included in the planning. UWS is concerned that there must be greatly increased mentoring of teachers by content area faculty members.
There are two issues: getting teacher preparation up to standards and UW faculty mentoring teachers.
This is issue it brought to the Faculty Reps because the success of teacher preparation and of mentoring depends upon faculty outside the Schools of Education. UW System is concerned about content mentoring and not teaching methodology. All faculty are being asked to be catalysts to improve teacher training.
Report by David Miller (Vice President in charge of University Relations,
state government relations and development issues)
There is a disconnect between what the campuses are doing in service-learning and internships and the public perception of what we're doing. The BOR and the legislators need to inform the public of the following: tuition is needed to pay bills and student aid is needed to guarantee access. The public doesn't realize the effects of reallocation or base budget cuts and that the campuses are doing more with less. The Wisconsin Idea has to be renewed in partnership with the public.
Another important fact is that the politicians don't receive only the economic justification for the UW system (jobs), but also the non-material/liberal arts mission. The external message is economic and the internal message is non-material. UWS has to help the economy grow in order to have the resources to do the humanizing mission. UWS must come up with messages that stress the breadth of preparation needed.

Paddy Patterson commented on "EOL Curators":
But, while GBIF might be of global scope, it frequently has so few data as to also provide a false understanding of known distribution. Better to educate users as to the risks. That said, sources that offer a global perspective should take priority over sources that have a geographically limited context.
Michаel Frаnkis commented on "EOL Curators":
@Quentin Groom: Agree fully, this is a major issue; those NatureServe maps should not appear first, particularly for taxa that are not native in North America. One thing that can be done for the moment is to rate them with a single star rating (see e.g. here), then they drop below the GBIF map and are replaced by it on the overview page. But this requires action for every taxon, a huge task; it would be vastly better if the NatureServe maps could be given a default one- or two-star rating so they appear below the GBIF maps automatically.
Quentin Groom commented on "EOL Curators":
Perhaps someone can help me on this issue. There are maps on EOL from NatureServe of the distributions of species within the USA and Canada. These maps show up on the overview page even though these maps are not part of the image media. As these maps are restricted to north America they are very misleading. Take a look at the page for Chenopodium hybridum for an example and compare with the GBIF map. If there are maps on the overview page they should be by default the GBIF map, but preferable we should have some editorial choice. I would not want to make this map invisible but it is not suitable for the overview.
John Tasirin commented on "EOL Curators":
@Kent McFarland: One of the main reason for me to join in EOL is to identify and display all species in an island level. So I am with you, Kent. But, thank to Bob and Jennifer for introducing Scratchpads. I may need to explore it further.
Michаel Frаnkis commented on "EOL Curators":
@Patrick Coin: That's correct from what I've seen.
Patrick Coin commented on "EOL Curators":
@Katja Schulz: Great feature. A related question I have... My impression of the authoring tools is that authorship of any particular object seems not to be collaborative. If somebody writes a "brief summary" and I see an error, or would like to make an addition, I cannot edit it directly, correct? Likewise with other categories of text objects?
Katja Schulz commented on "EOL Curators":
Helllo curators, our development team has just released a new tool that will make it easier for you to improve the text shown on EOL Overview tabs. Since this tab is the most visited one for a given taxon, the articles featured here should be the most interesting and informative ones we have available. Curators (including assistant curators) can now identify these articles and move them to the Overview tab instantly. Look for the show in Overview link below articles in the Detail tab. For an overview of all available EOL curator tools see Information for Curators.

Choosing the right health care provider has the potential to make or break your pregnancy, labour and postpartum experience. It is important to find a provider that is sensitive to you and your family's needs; you should feel they are considerate, responsible, professional, yet warm. It is also important they maintain a relationship with other health care professionals so you can receive the appropriate care you require.
Most practitioners will provide an initial consultation; use this time to ask important questions to determine if their care is right for you.
What to ask a Midwife:
·What training and experience do you have?
·Can you handle both complications and emergencies?
·Do you have medical back up or a contingency plan for emergency? What will be your role in an emergency? Will you continue to be with me during an emergency?
·What kind of equipment do you carry with you?
·What is your back up arrangement if you become ill or are otherwise unavailable at any point during my pregnancy or the birth?
·Do you have clear protocols and, if so, are these protocols rigid or flexible? For example, what happens if I go into early labour, or if I go past my due date? What if my baby is breech and so on?
·What are your philosophies about birth?
What to ask an Obstetrician (also relevant for midwives):
·What are your credentials?
·What is your cesarean rate?
·What is your episiotomy rate?
·What is the rate of medicated births in your practice?
·How many women in your practice breastfeed their babies?
·Do you usually order medications, IV, enemas, monitors or do you judge each situation individually?
·Are women encouraged to use different positions during labour and pushing?
·What are your feelings on natural birth?
·How much time do you spend with women at prenatal visits?
·Will you be at my birth or will another physician attend (and if so, who will that be)?
·What are your policies for women who go past-due, for permitted length of labour and pushing (or any other concerns or questions you might have)?
Write down the questions that you are most interested in and bring them to your first appointment. Go with your gut. If you feel off about the midwife or Doctor you met with interview another, you have the right to receive the care you want.

Why is Congress a gun free zone? Shouldn't we get rid of all those expensive security personnel and just allow the legislators to carry their weapon of choice?
Last year a boy was hit in the face by a bullet fired into the air, probably in celebration. People don't think about where the bullets go when fired up.
Where I used to live a few people spent $1000 each, or more on fireworks, about 3 times a year.
All you have to do in most counties a sign a form saying that you are using the fireworks to scare away birds from crops (never mind that none of the people had crops).
So I would rake up my leaves, clean out my gutters, and wet down everything outside with the hose. The last few years, one of the families moved, and it rained New Years. so it wasn't so bad.
braindead: in 1954 Puerto Rican nationilsts did shoot into the House of Representatives, wounding five members. If those on the floor had been armed, as suggested for our schools, the toll probably would have exceed 50-100 hit, with fatalities.
The toon does hit the key point well, much more likely to get jailed for firewords than firearms. (even illiegal ones)
Years ago, I attended a party given by one of my gay friends. Most of the attendees were gay, as well. Sometime near midnight, one of the attendees set off some fireworks. Given that this was at an apartment complex, it is no surprise that there was a police officer on the scene soon after. I was hiding out back, but that's where he walked up, and I was the first one he saw. He asked me if we were shooting fireworks, which (except for sparklers) were illegal in that city. Not wanting to go to jail, I just looked stupid. He understood, and said: "Fireworks, okay. Guns bad."
I thanked him for his guidance, and replied "fireworks" and quickly left the area.
If it;s good enough for Congress, why isn't it good enough for the rest of us? Oh, that's right, if we got the benefits that Congress gets that'd be Socialism…

|Self serving greed
|Written by News Desk
|Wednesday, 23 October 2013 06:52
It got past me. Until recently I did not know about a major taxpayer rip off that has been going on for decades. It came to light once again as part of the recent budget deal. In the Senate's bill, which included raising the debt ceiling, there was a payment of $174,000 to one Bonnie Englebardt Lautenberg, widow of late Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).
Lautenberg died June 3 of this year. The payment is made because the Senator died. That's right. Let's look at the Senate handbook for an explanation of what the "legal" procedure is following the death of a member in office... "in the next appropriations bill, an item will be inserted for a gratuity to be paid to the widow(er) or other next-of-kin, in the amount of one-year's compensation."
Hmmm. Isn't that nice. You die in office and our federal government takes our money and gives it to one of his/her survivors. Perhaps I shouldn't be so mean and vicious about all of this. I'm sure Mrs. Lautenberg needed the money, after all, the published estimated net worth of Senator Lautenberg on the day he died was $56.8 million.
Oh yeah, she really needs the money.
Here is the other part of the deal. It's tax free. By statute, the money is designated as a gift from the government, and a gift is not taxable income to a donee. She really needed to avoid the taxes on the money as well, I'm sure.
This is what was said by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington: "Congress already helps cover some of the cost of funeral expenses and monuments for members who die in office, as well as traditional retirement benefits. The death gratuity is on top of these payments."
After a little research I found that the Congressional death gratuity was initially intended as a form of life insurance and therefore, it is paid regardless of the financial status of the deceased Congressional member.
Further research does reveal there have been a couple of members of Congress in the past that have paid lip service to eliminating the death gratuities. The last time (as far as I can determine) that anyone tried to do something about this was in 2012 when the Republicans took over the House of Representatives. The Congressional death gratuities were among the much ballyhooed budget cuts the Republicans were going to make (the Republicans said their cuts would be $2.5 trillion over ten years, which has not happened). A Republican representative from Florida introduced HR 3127 and once it was assigned to the House Committee on House Administration it died quickly and I am sure intentionally.
I have thought about this payment to Lautenberg's widow for several days and no matter how hard I try to justify it I can't. We have people in the military that protect us, and as bullets are being fired upon them many of their families are back here in America living on food stamps. I think of our local needs and how many families could be helped with that money. I see many of our roads in need of repair and I see our schools always short of money. But a Senator worth $56.8 million dies and Congress takes money confiscated from us in the form of taxes and gives it away, tax free, to his family.
It also bothers me that Congress can do no better with the financial management of these death gratuities. Why not insure all the members of Congress for pennies on the dollar and it will cost the taxpayers much less when they die? If Senators Sessions and Shelby, and the air head representative Martha Roby, were standing before me I would be compelled to ask them if they are so stupid as to not consider insuring members of Congress instead of using the more expensive practice of just giving our money away to those that don't need it.
I'm sure that any response they give me will confirm my worst suspicions about the limits of their intellectual capacity.
Of course, none of this speaks well for us either. We are the ones that put them in office and we have kept them there.
Supreme Court Justice concerned about civics education
By ART PARKER, Editor
A few weeks ago Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jim Main (pictured right) spoke to students at the Jones School of Law at Faulkner University. In addition to reviewing the diversity of the Alabama Supreme Court, Main stressed the importance of civics education in our schools and the importance of promoting civics by the soon to be lawyers.

You're right on part a. Why don't you try this for part (b)?
This will be very useful when you think about vector fields that go like such as electric fields.
Sorry for the naff title, couldn't think of anything else. I've ended with a ridiculous answer...
a) Find , where , and is a differentiable function.
b) In Part (a), find such that .
I ended up with something like for part a), which I highly doubt is right thus I can't really attempt part b)... cheers in advance.

Patricia Spratt adds laminated place mats
April 15, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
Fine table linen manufacturer Patricia Spratt For the Home is adding laminated place mats to its offerings this April market.
The seven-year-old company, which domestically produces all of its goods at its Old Lyme, CT, headquarters, said it is answering the call of "so many customers who always ask us, 'Do you laminate?'" Kristin Woodmansee, vp, sales and marketing, told HTT. "We're very well known for our big print business, and everyone kept asking for the laminated goods, too, to coordinate."
The company first introduced the line in January with 16 new patterns. "We believed in it, and we've been proven to be right," Woodmansee said.
For the official launch this market, the company has added 12 patterns for a total of 28 looks. Three-fourths of the line is composed of brand new looks. The remainder is made up of the company's most popular existing patterns, including Pastoral Toile in black and natural and Taupe Topiary.
The collection comes in four shapes, including petal and scroll, which are exclusive to Patricia Spratt.
The mats are made to coordinate directly with the company's fabric table clothes and napkins.
The new line will target the company's existing customers — specialty, higher-end department stores, catalogs and gift and gourmet shops. And they are set to retail at the same price points as the company's fabric place mats — $8.50 to $9.50 each.

Helpful!I have spent tons of money on all the inadequate well advertised junk out there. This is the only one that works!!!! I am scared they will stop making it. Buy it!
This is an excellent product that provides relief. It was reccommended to me years ago. It worked then, it works now and continues to be one of my "go to" tried and trues.
Good product

Buy why "Out of Stock - Discontinued"
Posted by AIM-FOR-GOOD-HEALTH on Mar 18, 2016
Highly effective cream. It instantly soothed and healed after only 3 applications - and it was a stubborn one. Highly recommended. For anyone with this problem, this I believe is the best formulation to use. It acted super fast. (Feel free to go to my iherb page by clicking on my username for my 100 plus reviews)

No longer as effective due to a change in the formula
Posted by Reviewer2103069 on Oct 06, 2014
[** UPDATE OCT. 2014 - This product is not effective as it used to be. Now that the formula is "sustainable" it is not as effective. Also, the new product is twice as expensive. What a shame. They had a totally awesome product previously. **] This product is quite effective. It stopped itching and swelling in about a day or so. Preparation H is nothing compared to HCare. This product did not cure my hemorrhoids; it controls them. Once I stop using the product the 'roids come back with a vengeance. I am looking for an oral Hemmeroid medication to hopefully actually cure myself if these buggers.
Great Product
