Chemistry Major Ditches the Lab for the Office of the Public Defender
Evan Wilson '12 had a winding road to law school.
He started as a physical chemistry major at Harvard, but soon realized he enjoyed arguing too much to "spend time in a lab living by the scientific method," Wilson said.
Wilson took two classes in college that piqued his interest in the law – Justice, and Ethics, Biotechnology, and the Future of Human Nature, and then as a paralegal at law firm Steptoe & Johnson's Environmental Practice Group, helping with the firm's pro bono work, including two death penalty cases. He knew he wanted to go to law school, and considered his options.
"American University Washington College of Law, to me, in its atmosphere and values, seemed to embody exactly what I was looking for," Wilson said. "After discovering WCL in my research, it seemed to fit so well. So many of the things I really cared about were happening here."
After completing his first year of law school, Wilson spent last summer working in the Office of the Public Defender in Baltimore City in the Felony Trials Division, the top of the heap in terms of criminal cases that the office handles. He performed hands-on, intense work for indigent clients who could not afford their own legal representation. The position was unpaid, and Wilson's duties included everything from field investigations and witness interviews to legal research.
"There were two main skills you needed. One was research – figuring out random solutions to random problems," Wilson said of his summer work. "The other was having strong interpersonal skills. You're trying to meet the needs of extremely busy attorneys and the indigent defendants, two groups that can be tricky."
In this position, Wilson learned the importance of access to justice for those who have the least.
"The Baltimore Office of the Public Defender is an incredible, wonderful organization - one that I hope I might be a part of someday," Wilson said. "But the fundamental truth in this country is that most places don't invest enough to ensure that our justice system adequately handles every case. Even Baltimore, in my opinion one of the best public defender offices out there, could use more resources."
Wilson is interested in bringing international human rights law home domestically. He hopes to do work that ensures indigent defendants are receiving the same level of legal services as those able to afford their own defense attorneys.
"That's my motivation – you've always got to push harder and do more," Wilson said. "Do innocent people need to spend 36 years in jail, or 25 years on death row, because they can't afford an attorney that has the time or resources to get them adequate defense? That's a high price to pay I think."
Wilson had one piece of advice for students considering a similar path.
"Come to American University Washington College of Law. I think you can get great legal education at many different schools, but I just don't know that you'll find a place that is more unafraid of its own subscription to that agenda," Wilson said. "It is unabashed in its goal of promoting human rights, and I think exactly as it should be as a goal of this institution."

KHOALTY | UPS and USPS now offered
Since the rush season is over, we have started to offer USPS priority mail service again. The prices on shipping cost you see on the USPS pkgs will include insurance hence why they are more than usual.
They are not double the price or so, so there is no gimmicks there. One example is like for a set of bulbs, we wont charge you 12 dollars for shipping via USPS priority mail, but just the standard plus a small percentage on top of that to ensure it is insured.
Thanks for the support.:thumbsup:

Expat guide to learning languages in Moscow
A guide to learning Russian in Moscow, including where you can learn Russian and how fellow expats are coping with their struggle to learn a new language.
Learning a new language
Whatever your attitude to language learning, intercultural specialists all agree that learning the language of your new country of residence is a crucial step to understanding your adopted culture.
After you master Russian, doors will open for you—you'll be able to deal with your own administration—and you'll feel happier and more at ease in your new environment. Your Russian might not be perfect, but it will go a long way.
If you are new to the country, it will be handy to have print out Expatica's list of some useful Russian phrases to help you get around for the first couple of months.
When you are ready to start learning the language, gather learning languages tips written by experts such as How to be a polygot, or read how a simple grammatical maneuver can make a friend. Invest in a good dictionary that translates from your native language to that of Moscow and vice versa, and make an effort to learn Russian.
Finding a language course in Moscow
Find the right language course for you—read Expatica articles on finding a course in Moscow. Find out if your local government subsidises courses for expats to learn Russian or if your employer finances language training. Otherwise, simply select a local expat language course. Find a language course in Moscow by looking at Expatica's A-Z listings for a selection of language schools near you.
Raising children bilingually
Children take language learning in their stride, and any anxiety about learning a new language is generally felt only by parents. If you and your partner speak to your children in your native tongues and live in a country where a third language is spoken, communication can quickly become complicated. Read how other multilingual families are dealing with their situation.
Expats learning the local lingo
Learning Russian is a favourite topic for bloggers, so check out Expatica's Blogs & Photos channel. In The dizzy spells of Russian grammar, one blogger in Moscow shares the complexities of wrapping her head around the Russian grammar. Another writes about her satisfation knowing her language skills can now permit her to comprehend a few signs while walking on the streets of Moscow.
Go to Expatica's forums to see if you can pick up expat language learning tips, or simply wallow in the fact that others are facing the same uphill struggle as you. Persevere! You'll get there in the end.

How Hood Entrepreneurs Can Learn from 7-Eleven Area Domination Strategy to Pursue Our Global Domination Strategy
One of the most interesting articles I read in a long time was about 7-Eleven. If you are a brotha or sista that is jet setting especially in new money Asia, you cannot help but notice the all of the 7-Eleven stores popping up everywhere. There is a strategy behind all of this as 7-Eleven is looking for absolute global domination: ..7-Eleven is aiming to grow mostly in South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Canada. A total of 3,132 stores opened in those countries last year, according to Seven & I Holdings Co.'s annual report. In the United States, the chain is targeting urban markets like New York City and Charlotte, N.C., hoping to mimic expansion strategies that served it well in Taipei and Tokyo. Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/24/7-eleven-expansion_n_1543277.html So let's talk about that "expansion strategies that served it well in Tokyo" because this is one of the patterns and practices that we hood brothas and sistas can apply to our global domination strategies in our hoods. Area Domination Toshifumi Suzuki, CEO at 7-Eleven (or 7 & i Holdings, as its parent group in Japan is now known), explains the company's business strategy thus: "7-Eleven's business plan revolves around area domination;" Suzuki explains, "from the outset, we look at an area and assess whether it's viable to build a large number of stores. If so, we focus our attention on one small area." Focusing all of their efforts and resources on any one area at a time plays an important role in keeping costs to a minimum. Everything from distribution of stock to the reach of their advertising campaigns can be confined to one location. "On top of this," Suzuki explains, "our food arrives faster and fresher." But that's not all there is to it. What we see in the 7-Eleven business model is something akin to a small but very powerful explosion, focused entirely in one area… "Once one store has been opened, more follow in quick succession. Word of mouth spreads, and people become more and more familiar with the sight of our stores as they run into them more and more often … Although at first, each of the stores make only a minimal profit, once people's recognition of the brand reaches a certain level, we see a sudden and dramatic increase in both visits to the store and sales figures" he explains, perhaps while standing over a map of Japan covered in groups of tiny model 7-Elevens. So, rather than spreading themselves thin, 7-Eleven moves in, opens a bunch of stores and takes control of an entire area, the sight of each store acting as a sort of subliminal reminder. Source: http://en.rocketnews24.com/2012/09/18/why-7-eleven-quite-literally-dominates-and-why-you-wont-find-one-in-shikoku-yet/ Our Black Entrepreneurial Ancestors Used to Do This If I'm correct over in Chicago, you had Garrett Popcorn that clustered their businesses all in the downtown Chicago area with no suburban location when they first started. Then you had Harold's Chicken that clustered all of their businesses in the South Side of Chicago not really far from each other also. This is really the same concept of "area domination" and that should tell you our earlier Black entrepreneurs been doing this strategy in the hood back in the 1970s and 1980s. However, I remember reading several articles and cats talking from Black Enterprise magazine about not opening up the same business next to each other to avoid what they call cannibalization. Those writers clearly didn't know what the hell they were talking about – we over here do our homework and realize the more we research case studies and success stories, building up businesses in the same region in a high density area like the hood is exactly what you supposed to do to establish domination. Notice what the 7-Eleven CEO was saying where it is easier for them to distribute food and products quickly to each of their stores. Did you catch the part where they said they pop up stores all over in one shot so people can know they run and control that area with their brand all over the place? That's the mind of a mogul and someone looking to take over the world and he basically broke it down for us brothas and sistas to understand how we need to take over blocks very aggressively and then take that same strategy and expand in other markets. The Takeaway for Us Hood Brothas and Sistas about Area Domination The area domination strategy 7-Eleven out of Japan is describing falls in line with the strategy we need to start embracing and realize that clustering and collectivism is needed for any African-American economic growth strategy. We cannot have or afford this silly and selfish "do you, I do me" BS that always appear to work in straight failure of Black businesses over and over again. We need to be like "let's take this block over and dominate with shock and awe" and let cats get their mind blown that one area has gone from being blighted to filled with all kind of businesses in a few months. If we take the city of Osaka as an example, looking back at the late '90s, the city was very much "Lawson territory". But within just a few years of 7-Eleven's arrival in town, an incredible 300 stores had sprung up. In the blink of an eye, 7-Eleven had become top dog, and nowadays you couldn't walk down a street in Osaka without running into one. Lawson is a competitor of 7-Eleven and when they opened up in Osaka, they didn't open up one, they had plans all along to swarm that place with 300 stores from the get go. That's the mentality we need to start having – the swarm mentality like bees and ish to take over a whole area and make sure everybody hear the buzz. Think about the hustle you are doing – how can you dominate a local high-density area instead of making the mistake of stretching yourself thin? Do you still believe that crap about not opening up the same kind of businesses next to each other? Do you understand that each store that opens up next to each plays itself against the other store and create brand reinforcement? Do you realize even cats opening up the same type of business like camera stores, rim shops reinforce the whole game and everybody get paid – that's how they setup shops in Hong Kong, same businesses all next to each other. Bottom line, we brothas and sistas need to learn to create shock and awe area domination strategies of our hustle where everybody in that region know our name. We probably cannot even think of "just start with one store" anymore and I believe we better figure out how starts working together or think big when we take on the world and chase after our mission of global domination.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
New & Improved Boobs - Austin, TX
Dr. R did a PERFECT job on my breast augmentation! I am so happy with how they turned out. The whole process was better than I could have ever hoped for. Before the surgery, I was barely an A cup. Now, I wear a C cup and my breasts look natural, full, perky, etc. I get compliments all the time about how great they look in a swim suit. I would recommend him to anyone remotely interested in getting plastic surgery. The whole staff is so welcoming and sweet!
5 out of 5 stars Mentor Breast Implants
Got Them Done on a Whim After Kids - So Glad I Did - Texas
If you want a doctor who is enthusiastic about what he does, performs many breast augmentations, and shows you realistic outcomes of a variety of breast shapes, go to him. He's not a hand-holder - you have few post-op visits though quick answers to questions via email/phone - I think adding one post-op the day after would be handy and may reduce the number of tears! - but the results are fabulous.

Comfortable, Professional and A Truly Fulfilling Experience - Austin, TX
Dr. R has given me one of the best gifts I've ever received. A true appreciation and love for my body. My research paid off and after meeting Dr. R, I knew he was the right surgeon. I felt truly comfortable with him. He's knowledgeable, funny, enthusiastic, patient, and really good at what he does. He has a very keen eye for balance and beauty and it shows. His work is truly remarkable. I would recommend Dr. R to any of my closest friends, which is why I'm recommending him to you on this public forum. He is a true talent, he's professional and he and his staff are worth every penny. I've never been able to say this before in my life, but I truly LOVE my body now and I have Dr. R to thank.

Dr. R and his staff are kind people, the facilities are very nice (including surgery center), and his prices are very reasonable considering the quality. Overall, I would say that if you want a tasteful breast augmentation experience, this is the doctor you want.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Lift
wonderful experience! - Austin, TX
From the very first consultation, Dr. R and his staff put my husband and I at ease. Dr. R was never too busy for us -- he was always punctual, answered all of our questions, explained the results I could expect and gave input into my different options. I could not ask for more from a physician -- from the pre-op appointment all the way through our post surgery meetings, the experience has been top notch. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Dr. R to anyone considering this surgery. I don't think I could have found a more skilled, qualified, or caring doctor. (Once you schedule your first consultation, you'll see what I'm talking about.) Thank you again Dr. R for getting me back where I want to be!

Ideal Plastic Surgery Experience - Austin, TX
I met Dr. R when my almost 6-year-old son was injured in a bicycle accident. Dr. R was the plastic surgeon on-call that was called to repair his face. I was so impressed with Dr. R's meticulous work and bedside manner that I knew he had to be my plastic surgeon as soon as I was finished having children. Two years later, I was finished nursing my third child and was ready for my "mommy makeover" from Dr. Reid; anyone who I knew I could trust with my child, I could trust to be my plastic surgeon. I had been a little nervous when considering the surgery and recovery time, but Dr. R's wonderful staff talked in depth about the procedures and recovery with me over the phone before even coming in. They helped me feel completely comfortable. Dr. Reid has an impeccable bedside manner, which will put you further at ease. I couldn't have been more comfortable with my decision to have surgery with him. I was kept very comfortable during my short recovery period, which was better than expected, and my results are phenomenal! I have been equally happy with all of my procedures! Dr. R is truly an artist, he takes his time with you, and wants you to be completely comfortable and happy with your results. I could not be happier in my choice for a plastic surgeon.

I was also looking for a very specific shape and size - Wonderful Experience - Austin, TX
Dr. R was everything I was looking for in a surgeon. He made me feel completely comfortable with the procedure. I was also looking for a very specific shape and size after the surgery and he was able to match it perfectly! I could not be happier with my entire experience at Restora Austin.

Casey Kasem Found In Washington State
Casey Kasem has been found in Washington State. Police reportedly found him after his daughter Kerri filed a missing persons report. The legendary radio personality was considered missing on Monday when a judge ordered a court-appointed attorney to investigate his whereabouts, and also appointed a doctor to evaluate his care.
The former "American Top 40″ host suffers from advanced Parkinson's Disease, cannot speak, and has been in and out of different medical facilities. A rep for the family said in statement: "The family has grave concerns about his medical care. The Kasem family will do everything in their power to bring their father home."
Kasem's wife Jean and his children from a prior marriage have spent much of the past year warring over his care, with Kasem's adult kids alleging they've been forbidden to see their father in a situation that amounts to elder abuse. Gossip Cop will update as more details emerge.

Critical Path Method (CPM) / Critical Path Analysis
A project typically consists of a list of activities to be carried out. Each of the activities may require different amount of time to complete and some of the activities may be interdependent on one another. For example, a particular activity may require another activity to complete before it can start. When the number of interdependent activities increases, the entire project becomes complex and difficult to understand. This complex list of activities is also known as the "Work Breakdown Structure" in project planning.
Critical Path Method (CPM) / Critical Path Analysis
The Critical Path Method (CPM) or Critical Path Analysis is an important technique for effectively managing the complex list of activities of a project. It uses a mathematically based algorithm to calculate a network model known as the "critical path" to help a project manager determine the following:
How much time a project will require taking into account all the dependencies of the activities.
Which activities are "critical" or "on the critical path" that need to be completed on time to avoid delaying the whole project.
The slack time of the activities. An activity with slack time can be delayed without delaying the entire project. Activities not "critical" usually have slack time. One of the motivations of postponing an activity is the savings of labor and warehouse costs until it is necessary.
The Critical Path Method was developed by Du Pont in the 1950s and is now considered one of the most widely used technique in project planning and scheduling.
Critical Path Method Spreadsheet
This spreadsheet allows the project manager to perform project planning through the Critical Path Method. All the activities are first entered into the spreadsheet. This is followed by providing the amount of time required for each activity and specifying the dependencies. After which, a Gantt Chart will be automatically generated and the critical path of the project will be determined.
The critical path of the project is the sequence of project activities which add up to the longest duration. This is also known as the amount of time that the project will require. A delay in any of the activities on the critical path will result in a delay in the entire project.
In the diagram above, the darker shade of black on the Gantt Chart shows the critical path. All activities on this path will need to be completed on time to avoid delaying the project. Item E is shown with a lighter shade of black. This activity is not on the critical path and can be delayed without affecting the completion date of the project.
Critical Path Calculation Overview
In calculating the critical path, the spreadsheet automatically goes through a forward pass to determine the Early Start/Early Finish time of the project. After which, a backward pass is performed to determine the Late Start/Late Finish of the project. This process also determines the slack time allowed for each of the activities. The calculations also take into account weekends and holidays. This document will not go into the details of the calculation to determine the critical path.
Critical Path Method Spreadsheet Inputs
All the worksheets that require inputs to generate the Gantt Charts are marked with the word "(Input)". On the worksheet, fields that require inputs are marked with "*" for easy identification.
The diagram above shows the input worksheet "Month 1 (Input)". All the input fields required are marked with "*" and described below.
Project Start Date* - The start date of the project. The spreadsheet will be generating 12 output worksheets for tracking a project over a 12-months period. The start date allows the spreadsheet to determine which month to start generating the schedule.
ID* - A two digit number for identifying the item/task of the project.
Items* - The names of the items or tasks of the project.
DY* - The duration of the item/task in days. The start date and duration will be used to calculate the End Date as shown in the diagram above. It is important to note that the calculation of the End Date takes into account weekends and holidays like Christmas and New Year. Holidays can be defined in the "Holidays (Input)" worksheet.
DIDx* - The predecessor's ID. The predecessor item needs to be completed before the start of this item. A maximum of five predecessors can be specified.
Holiday Inputs
The Critical Path Method spreadsheet allows weekend and holidays to be defined and encompassed into the schedules.
In the diagram below, the first section shows the definition of a weekend. A "Y" will indicate the particular day of the week is a weekend holiday.
The second section allows holidays to be defined. It is important to define all the holidays within the 12-months schedule period. This will allow the Gantt Chart to incorporate all the holidays and generate an accurate schedule. The holiday's date is in "MM/DD/YY" format. The second column is used for describing the holidays and is optional. A maximum of 40 dates are supported, beyond which the holidays will be ignored.
Critical Path Method Outputs
This spreadsheet outputs a 12-months schedule in 12 different worksheets. Each worksheet will display the schedule for a particular month. The worksheets are named "Month 1", "Month 2" and "Month 3" etc. In each of the worksheet, a Gantt Chart is included to show the critical path of the project.
The diagram above shows the Gantt Chart generated in one of the output worksheets. The top left hand corner displays the month of this Gantt Chart. Each worksheet contains a unique month over a 12-months period. The next two rows show the days of week and days of the month of the Gantt Chart.
The following fields are automatically calculated using the Project Start Date, Items duration and dependencies.
Early Start Time - The earliest date that an activity can start.
Early End Time - The earliest date that an activity can be completed.
Late Start Time - The latest date that an activity has to start to avoid delaying the project.
Late End Time - The latest date that an activity has to complete to avoid delaying the project.
The darker shade of black shows activities on the critical path while the lighter shade of black shows activities not on the critical path. The "x" shows the holidays defined in the "Holidays (Input)" worksheet.
These spreadsheets can be printed quickly and easily in Landscape mode in Microsoft Excel. Simply set the "% to normal size" option to include all the fields in the worksheets.
To print several worksheets at once, simply click the tab for the first sheet in Excel, then hold down CTRL while you click the tabs of the other sheets that you want to select.

Hector Lombard vs Alexander Shlemenko
Anyone else looking forward to this fight? Should be a stand up war, it will be fireworks.
Bellator Fighting Championships
Lombard will be a clear favorite for sure, but Shlemenko has pretty good stand up even though many times he seems to be careless with his strikes. He is still damn entertaining with his spinning back kicks, fists and flying knees.
I hope Shlemenko wins and comes to UFC. :)
What y'all think?
Yeah this should be an intersting fight!:thumbsup:
lombard by ko
That could very possibly be the result!:thumbsup:
man strikeforce or ufc need to sign him, they cant ignore a soon to be 16 fight win streak
I like both guys but Lombard has more promise going forward so i'll be pulling for him.
Yeah but with Bellator and Zuffa having problems I don't think he will be going to the UFC anytime soon!:(
Isn't he a free agent? I know Shlemenko is.
I thought they both had to sign contracts!:confused05:
I have Lombarde winning this, te man has so much more its scary. All you ne3ed to do is be clipped by him, and you are out. Shl is good,but not good enough.

Cliff notes: Newb, EPC light comes on killing power / stalling car. Electrical cutting out sometimes as well, related?
Hello all,
I just bought a 2000 Jetta GLS VR6 and this is my first post. It has 130k on it, 5 speed... pretty clean. It had an accident in 2006 according to the CARFAX. The owner I bought it from owned it from 2005 until Sunday. I am leaving behind the e30 / e28 world and am really excited about this car. However, I am experiencing a problem(s).
The story (long):
I bought the car on Sunday. I drove it home the approximately 30 miles problem free. When I got into town I put like 6 gallons of gas in it (10% ethanol whoops).
MondayWent and had new brakes put on it; car was on a lift, not sure if that matters. While it was up, they told me I need new tie rods. I already knew that from driving it.
TuesdayHad new tires put on it in the morning; car was on a lift again. When I drove away the CEL came on. Car was driving fine, didn't feel different, GF said maybe they jostled something while it was in the air, who knows. Drove it back to school that day (170 miles), CEL on the whole way.
When I got into town, I parked on campus and unloaded my stuff. I chilled for a bit and decided to go wash my new car. When I started it up the CEL was off, and I drove to the car wash. It was one of those no-touch automatic ones, you know, where you park and the machine moves all around you. Anyways, I pulled out and parked and wiped it down and vacuumed the interior and stuff. When I started it back up the gas light was on so I went and filled it up at a mobil (ethanol mix?). Then I went and got Chinese. After dinner, I drove around on some back roads for like 20 miles, nothing crazy, just cruising listening to the sweet VR6 sound. I got back on campus and parked it for the night.
After class I was itching to drive my car again. I made up some excuses in my head as to why I had to go to Walmart and walked out to my car. Started right up, no issues, waited for the idle to settle, and pulled off. Drove it the 3 miles to walmart without issues. On my way back I went downtown to grab dinner and it started...
I was going about 30 - 35 in 4th gear and I hear BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP and my EPC light is flashing (or maybe solid) and my car is sputtering. I put in the clutch and gave it a little rev and it seemed to go away. 30 seconds later, I'm at a stop light and the same thing happens except it dies. I start it back up and am a little more aggressive with the gas this time and I pull over. I'm like wtf? So I walked into the bagel shop and had some dinner and thought i'd try it again.
It started right up, I drove it around for like 5 miles or so and I think it happened 2 or 3 times again. Parked it for the night. Visited forums reading about what the EPC light is and what causes it... Read all sorts of causes: MAF, Bad gas, ECU, Cam position sensor, Coil pack... etc.
ThursdayI travel home on Thursday's. I don't have class on Friday's. I was already gassed up from the other day so I left straight from class. Everything was fine until about 25 miles into my trip when it started acting up again... same thing... EPC light flashing, car sputtering, gauges non responsive, etc... It did it like 5 or 6 times in a 15 minute period so I pulled it over and shut it off for like 5 minutes.
That didn't do anything, it started doing it again the rest of the way home (170 miles). Once or twice, I lost ALL power to the car, the lights shut off, no power steering, engine dead. I would just coast, and start it back up again. Except one time it wouldn't start. I sat on the side of the road with the little battery light lit up and nothing else responding when I turned the key. Then I got my lights and gauges back but it wouldn't turn over. Then I got everything back and it started.... I was on my way again... and it was still cutting in and out randomly but it didn't actually die on the side of the road again the rest of the way.
Then something happened that actually caused the EPC issue. I was driving through a section where road work was being done and there was a "BUMP" sign and it was a pretty good bump and it caused my car to act up again, lost all electrical for a second again this time too... So i thought to myself it has to be a ground or the connection at the ECU or something!
So when I got home I popped the hood and was looking at the battery... some corrosion at the terminals, not too bad, the terminals were on nice and tight, but i noticed that the ground wire had electrical tape wrapped around it. Then I noticed that the plastic "sheild" around the battery was very loose and broken, also the coil pack on top of the battery was loose too... It seemed like the whole unit could be moved easily. Also it looked like the "sheild" was the reason why the ground wire was wrapped in electrical tape, it looks as if it has come in contact with it more than once.
So what do you guys think?
I'm taking it into the dealer next week to have them make me a new key, (previous owner only gave me the valet) I'm gonna have them scan the car for faults, and just check it over while it's there.
I'm used to doing my own work (coming from the e30 crowd), so if there are any parts you would recommend replacing in the meantime, or anything i should be looking for, please let me know.
I don't have VAG-COM or even a Bentley for this car yet... that will come though. I've only had it for 4 days. Anyways, thanks for reading my long post, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Intel Increases Transistor Speed by Building Upward
By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: May 4, 2011
HILLSBORO, Ore. - Intel announced on Wednesday that it had again found a way to make computer chips that could process information more quickly and with less power in less space.
The transistors on computer chips - whether for PC's or smartphones - have been designed in essentially the same way since 1959 when Robert Noyce, Intel's co-founder, and Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments independently invented the first integrated circuits that became the basic building block of electronic devices in the information age.
These early transistors were built on a flat surface. But like a real estate developer building skyscrapers to get more rentable space from a plot of land, Intel is now building up. When the space between the billions of tiny electronic switches on the flat surface of a computer chip is measured in the width of just dozens of atoms, designers needed the third dimension to find more room.
The company has already begun making its microprocessors using a new 3-D transistor design, called a Finfet (for fin field-effect transistor), which is based around a remarkably small pillar, or fin, of silicon that rises above the surface of the chip. Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., plans to enter general production based on the new technology some time later this year.
I thought this was really interesting when i first heard about it. Intel has really been pushing processing power up in leaps and bounds the past several years, ever since the core2 duo.

Whether liposuction can be carried out on breasts depends on how much of the breast is adipose tissue (fat) and how much is breast tissue. This can usually be determined by clinical examination and by mammography. Not all breasts are amenable to liposuction because if the breasts consist mostly of breast tissue which is dense and glandular liposuction will not be effective.
Is It Better to Have Liposuction and then a Lift Instead of the Breast Reduction Surgery?
Doctor Answers 5
Is It Better to Have Liposuction and then a Lift Instead of the Breast Reduction Surgery?
That is a great question, but the answer depends entirely on your specific anatomy. Breast volume is composed of both fat and true breast tissue. Both are removed during a reduction, but only fat is removed with liposuction. If the percent of the breast comprised of fat is enough, AND your skin is youthful enough to contract with the reduced volume you can get an excellent result with liposuction with only two tiny scars. It obviously would take an exam to determine if your case is one that could be handled with liposuction instead of surgery. Find a surgeon that is comfortable with either procedure and he will be able to answer this for you.
Lipo can change a reduction into a lift
A lift removes skin and raises the breast tissue on the chest wall, creating a younger shape. A reduction removes breast volume, and is usually combined with a lift. Volume can be removed directly (traditional) or with liposuction (newer technique). The ability to reduce the breast with lipo depends on the fatty content of the breast compared to denser breast tissue, which is resistant to lipo. Sometimes lipo will get the job done alone, other times lipo must be combined with direct removal of breast tissue. Occasionally, when the skin is not that stretched, lipo alone followed by skin shrinkage can provide a nice result, but this is more rare since most patients have loose skin. In my opinion, when the breast can be reduced with lipo there is better circulation to the nipple and less loss of sensation. Usually you would do the lipo with the lift at the same time, not two different surgeries.

The outcome of your Breast Reduction will depend more on your choice of surgeon than on your choice of procedure
Hi there-
Please don't make the mistake of searching for the "right" procedure... Your energy and time should more productively be spent finding the very best SURGEON you can, based on his education, training, experience, reputation, and outcomes.
Once you've found the very best surgeon you can- carefully discuss your goals and trust them to help you get there.
You're much better off choosing the best human being and then letting them guide you rather than trying to identify a procedure and then finding someone willing to do it on you- this backwards approach is much more likely to result in a less than ideal outcome and your unhappiness...

Some Santa Barbara Mission Walls Crumbling, as Facade Repairs Finish
Next phase of work is urgently needed
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Some of the oldest walls at the Santa Barbara Mission are literally turning to sand.
It's a serious concern for the development staff.
"We have disintegtrating door jams, some pillar sections, and windows,"said Kristina Foss, the Mission Cultural Resources Director. "They are literally turning to sand. Moisture is being held in the walls of the building and unless we can mitigate that problem and fix that we are going to lose that portion of the building which is actually the oldest part of the building."
Mission Development Director, Jason Womack, said "and I think part of what the problem is, is that it some of the previous materials that were used wouldn't let the sandstone breathe, and naturally evaporate."
This comes at a time when the first phase of a special grant has been used to shore up the Mission's front façade. Now it has the look we saw in 1953 after the last big restoration.
Father Richard McManus says the Mission has a unique religious and community significance that brings visitors to its steps from around virtually every nation. "I don't know a place in the world that they don't come from, and the excitement of having their pictures taken in front of this place. It is one of the most photographed places, certainly of all of California,"he said.
He recalls the 1925 earthquake damage, "which rallied this community that said 'no we are not going to let it die or no we are not going to leave it in rubble'"

EPDM and ice and water shield question
I just tore off some roll roofing from a shed with a 14' x 20' flat roof and plan to put on an EPDM roof. One end of the flat roof joins to another shed with about 10' of shared wall. That joint has a very short vertical run up to the other eave, with only 2' vertical on one side and 4" on the other. This whole area is covered with ice and water shield. My problem is what to do about this termination and transition.
I started to remove some of the ice and water, but it is quite difficult to get off. So then I thought I could just leave it and put the epdm over the ice and water, but everything I've read says no to that. I'm not sure what to do. Also, if I do get the ice and water shield off, won't the residue from it interfere with the epdm adherence?
Being a novice, I didn't figure this all out before tearing off the roof. Also, I'm hoping that I can use the latex bonding adhesive for the very small 10' x 2-4" area of vertical wall.
One last question. The guys at the hardware store said to get screws for the termination bars, so I got some #8 3/4 screws. I see in the manufacturer's materials that they show nails with plates. Will I have a problem with putting screws through the membrane? What is best to use? I thought that nails could eventually pop out a bit whereas screws will not.
Please enlighten me with informed suggestions!

Identify Second Arverne DOA
Police Sources have identified the body found in an empty lot on Beach Channel Drive and Beach 45 Street on February 9 and have declared the death a homicide.
The bullet-riddled and decomposing body found by a passer-by was identified on Monday by the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information as that of Derrick McNair, 19, a Staten Island resident.
The Chief Medical Examiner had earlier declared the death to be a homicide and the cause of death (COD) to be gunshot wounds to the head.
Police sources declined to say where and when McNair had been killed, but there were indications that the murder may have been committed more than a month ago in another location, and that the body was then dumped in Arverne.
McNair's body was the second to be found in that Arverne area this year.
On January 14, three weeks earlier, the body of Rajesh Binda was found under the stairway at the Beach 44 Street A Line station.
The Medical Examiner told The Wave on Monday that Binda's cause of death is still pending an investigation.
Police sources said, however, that Binda's death is not classified as a homicide.
A source close to the case, however, said that Binda may have been drunk and was either pushed or fell from the staircase.
Detectives from the 100 Precinct Squad are investigating both deaths.

Tampa Bay Lightning (18-23-4, 40 pts) @ Dallas Stars (24-19-2, 50 pts)
7:30 PM CT, January 20, 2012
American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
Struggle, struggle, struggle. That's the name of the game right now for Dallas. Down their top two centers and at the edge of the playoff picture, Dallas has struggled to get points in the past week. Since Jan. 20, Dallas has managed to get only 3 out of 10 points (1-3-1) and find themselves tied with two other teams for the 10th spot in the Western Conference. These close races are mighty stressful no?
Dallas has been playing solid hockey but just haven't had enough offense (or luck) to win in the last week. They've lost each of the last three games by only one goal (the last one a shootout) so this team is definitely trying, but sometimes effort just isn't enough. In all truth, Dallas probably should have beaten the Wings but Alex Goligoski's series of unfortunate events led to an own goal going off his skate.
At first blush, this game looks like something that the Stars should definitely win, but then again this is a team that's gotten beaten up by the Blue Jackets and Ducks recently and the Lightning are a very potent offensive team. Kari Lehtonen needs to play well again tonight against the likes of Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis. I would say that Dallas needs to keep this score low to win this game, but Tampa has a terrible defense so this could be a shootout.
These two teams played once last year in Tampa, a game that the Lightning won 5-4.
Lehtonen should be getting the start tonight, the first game of another back-to-back.
Dallas will be without their offense in Jamie Benn (appendectomy) and Mike Ribeiro (knee). Philip Larsen was just activated off of IR so he might play in this game, but there's not really a spot in the lineup for him right now unless Dallas goes with 7 defensemen.
more after the jump
If you're ever looking for a team that is all offense and no defense, look no further. Tampa is the epitome of that mindset this year. They currently rank 10th in the NHL in goals and 30th in the league in goals allowed. You have to look deeper than just those stats though. The Lightning have crazy home/road splits that shows how the Lightning are basically two different teams based on where they play.
At home this season (20 games), Tampa has 70 goals and has allowed 63. On the road (25 games), they have scored only 54 and allowed a mind-blowing 93 goals (93!). That's by far the most allowed in the NHL by any team. The goal horn should see some good action tonight.
Injuries have played a part of this, but the goalie duo of Mathieu Garon and Dwayne Roloson are just both terrrrrrible this season. 38 goalies have gotten at least 20 starts this year including both of the Lightning goalies. Garon and Roloson both rank in the bottom 6 in the league in terms of GAA and SV% among these 38 goalies. In fact, Roloson is dead last in both of these categories so let's all cross our fingers and hope he gets the start.
Luckily for Tampa, they have Stamkos or this might have turned into one of the worst seasons in the history of the league. Stamkos sits 3rd in scoring in the NHL (3 points behind Evgeni Malkin) and leads all players in goals with 31, five ahead of Jonathan Toews. Like the rest of his team though, he doesn't play as well on the road. He has 13 goals on the road in 25 games compared to 18 goals at home in 20 games. Shut him down though and Tampa goes absolutely nowhere.
Tampa enters this game off a 5-3 win against the Bruins, their first win this month. They are 1-6-1 in their last eight games. They have allowed at least four goals in six of those games.
Who starts in goal for this team? Doesn't matter, goals will be scored.
Tampa has a slew of injuries. Defensemen Victor Hedman (concussion) and Marc-Andre Bergeron (back) are out for this game. Also out are forwards: Adam Hall (torn muscle in arm), Ryan Shannon (lower body) while Tom Pratt is doubtful with a lower-body injury.
Notes and thoughts:
- The Lightning are 6-16-3 on the road this year. They have lost 6 straight games on the road. Garon is 4-9-2 on the road while Roloson is 2-7-1.
- Tampa is also second worst in the league in terms of goal differential (-33). Only the Blue Jackets are worse.
- Stamkos has at least a point in 9 of his last 10 games.
- Vincent Lecavlier has muliple points in four of his last five games and at least one point in seven of his last eight.
- In their last 11 road games, the Lightning are 2 of 39 (5%) on the PP and 32 of 45 (71%) on the PK.
- Dallas is 13-8-2 at home.

Got these for the husband because he wears a suit everyday and likes to add bright colors. We got the "Sidewinder" version and boy are they bright - much brighter than they look in the picture. He still wore them though, and really liked them. He says his feet never got hot like with a lot of dress socks but he's concerned they might not be as durable as he would like. But for the price, they work out perfect. I just took off one star because the color is so much different than depicted.4

At a rally in Fort McMurray last month, the message to the Alberta government couldn't have been any clearer: "Pray For Me, I Drive 63," hundreds of residents carrying signs pleaded as they pressed the province to fast-track twinning of the narrow, notorious highway that connects Edmonton to the lucrative oil sands.
It's a long-standing call, but one that gained greater urgency this spring after seven people were killed in April in a horrific head-on crash on Highway 63. And while a government-commissioned report released Friday recommended the province ramp up efforts to convert the 240-kilometre stretch to a twinned, four-lane route, the report stopped short of setting a deadline, frustrating rally organizers and the mayor of the booming oil-sands hub.
"The current schedule looks to be about 11 years and that's highly unacceptable," said Melissa Blake, mayor of the municipality that includes Fort McMurray. "In terms of saving lives, I can't emphasize enough how important [twinning the highway] is."
Since the $1-billion road project began in 2006, only 16 kilometres have been twinned south of Fort McMurray. Another 36 kilometres is scheduled to be completed this year.
Several factors have hampered progress, including shifting muskeg terrain, weather, land acquisition, caribou calving season and a requirement the highway be built to withstand heavy loads of industrial equipment. In the meantime, more than 70 people have died as a result of crashes on the road in the past five years.
Ms. Blake wants the twinning project completed in the next five years. Alberta Transportation Minister Ric McIver isn't promising that, but pledged on Friday to shave three to four years off the 11-year construction schedule, perhaps even more.
"We are committed to working hard to shorten that time span further," Mr. McIver said.
How that will be achieved should become clearer later this summer, after the government reviews 22 recommendations aimed at improving safety on the highway. The proposals are part of a report crafted by rookie Conservative MLA Mike Allen, who represents Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo and was asked by the Premier to review Highway 63 safety after April's deadly crash.
Mr. Allen, who fielded input from thousands of Albertans through telephone town halls, meetings and social media, is calling on his government to crack down on dangerous drivers, use photo radar to deter speeders, create more passing lanes and establish a project management team to accelerate the highway's twinning.
Other enforcement proposals include creating a dedicated RCMP and sheriff force to patrol Highway 63, increasing maximum penalties for high-risk drivers, and seizing the vehicles of motorists caught driving 50 kilometres or more over the speed limit. Last month, two vehicles were clocked travelling more than 200 kilometres an hour on stretches of the highway.
"Highway 63 connects the world to the oil-sands region, which is undoubtedly serving as Alberta's and Canada's economic engine," Mr. Allen said at the legislature in Edmonton. "It's very vital that this highway corridor is safe and that it can accommodate continuing growth and development."
Although Mr. McIver outright rejected the proposal for photo radar, the Transportation Minister signalled he's supportive of many of his Tory colleague's recommendations.
Highway 63 has long been a source of concern for those who travel it and live in surrounding communities. The rapid expansion of oil sands development has fuelled a significant increase in traffic on the narrow route in the past decade, as a constant stream of trucks haul goods north and many labourers shuttle from their homes in the province's south, where most Albertans live.
Mr. McIver said he would welcome financial support from the energy industry to aid Highway 63 construction, but added the government won't be applying pressure, noting the energy sector already pays taxes and royalties to the province.
The Oil Sands Developers Group, which wasn't available for comment Friday, has said in the past the industry would share the cost of twinning sections north of Fort McMurray, where 17 kilometres have already been completed. But as for the section south of Fort McMurray, the industry group maintains that 240-kilometre stretch is the province's responsibility.
Nicole Auser, who helped organize last month's Twin 63 Now rally, wants the Alberta government to commit to a firm deadline for twinning that heavily travelled stretch. After Friday's report, she's wondering whether it's time for another rally.
"We expected something more solid from the government," Ms. Auser said. "If they're not going to give us a concrete deadline, there's no way for residents to be able to hold them accountable, and that's what they've been doing all along."Report Typo/Error

South Park - Season 8 Episodes
South Park - Season 8
During this season, Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny again find themselves at the centre of a number of hot political issues and celebrity shenanigans.
"Good Times with Weapons"
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenney pretend they are Japanese warriors after they buy martail arts weapons at a local flea market. Thier sworn enemy, Professor Chaos (Butters), confronts them and a stylized anime battle ensues, with Butters paying the price.
"Up the Down Steroid"
Jimmy is in training for an upcoming sporting event and he's determined to win at any cost. Cartman decides he can easily take first place against Jimmy. He just has to convince the judges he's handicapped.
"The Passion of the Jew"
Kyle finally sees the movie The Passion of the Christ and admits that Cartman has been right about the Jewish people all along. After Stan and Kenny see the film, they hate it and pursue Mel Gibson to get thier money back.
"You Got F**ked in the Ass"
Stan is callenged to a dance-off. Now he has to put a team of South Park's best dancers together to compete against a team from Orange County. While Butters has won awards for his dancing, he refuses to help Stan. He hasn't danced since he caused the deaths of many audience members at his last competition.
Cartman dresses up like a robot, calls himself Awesom-O and moves in with Butters in a plan to learn all of Butters' secrets and use them against him. While Butters is thrilled to have a new best friend, the U.S. Army believes Awesom-O is some new secret weapon, and Hollywood is after the phony robot to develop thier next big blockbuster.
"The Jeffersons"
All the children of South Park are attracted to "Mr. Jefferson" and his home of games, toys, and animals. Cartman goes out of his way to be "Mr. Jefferson's" best friend while Stan, Kyle and Kenney try to help his son. Meanwhile, South Park's police force decides to take down "Mr. Jefferson" for being a rich, black man.
When humans from the year 4035 travel back to our time through a time portal looking for work, Stan, Kyle, Kenney, and Cartman, as well as the rednecks of the town, become angry that the time immigrants are taking thier jobs because they are willing to work for next to nothing.
"Douche and Turd"
PETA cries out agianst the use of a cow as South Park Elementary's mascot, forcing the students to choose a new one. As the election gets closer, Kyle tries to convince everyone that his candidate, a giant douche, is better than Carman's nominee, a turd sandwich. Meanwhile, Stan is kicked out of South Park until he learns the importance of voting.
"Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes"
The stores of South Park go out of buisness when a Wall Mart comes to the town with its incredible bargains. Cartman, along with the rest of the town, becomes possessed by the power of Wall Mart. Only Stan, Kyle, and Kenney are left to save thier town and destroy the Wall Mart, while Cartman attempts to stop thier plan.
For five long years, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenney, and Butters have kept a secret about an illegal incident that happened back in pre-school. Now, the boy they blamed it all on is out of juvie, with revenge on his mind.
"Quest for Ratings"
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenney, Butters, Jimmy, and Tolken produce thier own morning news show on the school's closed-circuit television station and are immediately caught up in the intense competition for ratings. During thier quest for ratings, the boys discover a terrible secret about the school.
"Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset"
All the fourth-grade girls idolize the rich, famous, and spoiled socialite, Paris Hilton. Disturbed by the corruptive influence the trashy celebrity has on little girls, one of the towns favorite citizens, Mr. Slave, challenges her to a "whore-off" when Wendy approaches him about the situation.
"Cartman's Incredible Gift"
After suffering from a severe head injury after attempting to fly off his roof, South Park detectives now believe Cartman has telepathic powers, and enlist his help in finding a killer who's been murdering the citizens of South Park. Catman agrees to help them...for a price, of course.
"Woodland Critter Christmas"
Stan is asked by a group of cute woodland critters if he could help them build a manger for the arrival of thier Lord and Savior. Stan agrees to help them, only to find out they serve Satan.

Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester visited with Dennis & Callahan in Fort Myers and talked about putting together a complete season in 2010. Grading himself on last season, he said: "An F in the first half and an A in the second half. I don't know what happened that first half. I guess I just got ahead of myself — wanting games to be over before they even started, wanting to look up and see if we won or lost. I'd say overall about a C."
Lester said physically he was fine last year, but his mental approach needed an adjustment. Said the pitcher: "When the game starts, I need to focus on that and focus on the first guy, getting him out, and worrying about inning to inning, whereas last year I would worry about the sixth, seventh, eighth inning before I got there.
"Physically, I felt great. I was throwing the ball fine. It seemed like it would snowball into one inning that would kill me every time. And that was because I'd get to that fourth, fifth inning and worry about, 'I need to get to the seventh,' instead of worrying about the fourth or fifth inning and getting ahead of myself."
Lester said his place in the rotation isn't important to him. "I'll take the ball whenever. I'm easy," he said. "I've never been a big guy on believing in that stuff. Opening Day would be fun, it would be nice, but at the same time, I just want to pitch, so give me the ball whenever."
