America's rapidly expanding cyborg-animal army could soon add a new crawler to its ranks. National Defense magazine reports that scientists in Texas have turned the near-indestructible cockroach into a remote-controlled nuke detector.
A team of nuclear engineers at Texas A&M's Nuclear Science and Policy Institute attached radioactivity sensors to the backs of cockroaches, meant to scope out different kinds of nuclear material. The cockroaches are remote-controlled, so officials could unleash them into potentially contaminated areas that might not be safe for humans.
The roaches would join an array of non-human war-fighters the Department of Defense seems keen on assembling: already, they've floated plans for cyborg spy beetles, flying robo-moths and even killer dolphins, allegedly.
But when it comes to nuke-detection, roaches are ideal candidates – for every reason everyone already hates them: the critters can survive for weeks without food, are nearly impossible to kill, and have invaded every continent except for Antarctica. They can also run non-stop for 35 minutes, and are resilient enough to carry a three-gram back-pod for several months. Oh, and somehow the things are radiation-resistant, too.
All that, and their motor functions are simple enough to be powered by low-energy circuits, similar to those in a cell phone. A human controller would propel the insects forward or side-to-side, using a device that applies pressure to antennas and leg muscles, "like a cattle prod for cockroaches," team leader William Charlton told National Defense.
Hard to believe that the crawlers who scuttle through your walls might one day save your life, but it would be worse: in 2007, Chinese military officials successfully used brain implants to create cyborg pigeons.
And foreign enemies, be warned. The Texas A&M team also seem to envision grander, more nefarious purposes for the robo-roaches:
Related applications include search and rescue activities, environmental monitoring, and counterintelligence….Even though American roaches prefer to be hidden, they are always associated with humans. Even though the presence of roaches can arouse disgust among some people, it will not necessarily arouse suspicion.

Bitdefender Cements Anti-Spam Leadership with 30th VBSpam Win
April 2014
Bitdefender has become the only company to solidify its position as the most awarded company in anti-spam testing by Virus Bulletin.
Bitdefender, creator of innovative antivirus software solutions, has become the only company to solidify its position as the most awarded company in anti-spam testing by Virus Bulletin, achieving certification in all 30 tests by the independent analysis firm.
As of the latest Virus Bulletin round of tests, Bitdefender has also won eight consecutive VBSpam+ awards for outstanding spam detection without a single false positive since November of 2012, attesting to the company's long-term view of product quality and development.
For Virus Bulletin's latest round of testing, in March, the firm raised the criteria for achieving its highest credit, the VBSpam+ Award. Still, Bitdefender was one of the four companies, among 21 entrants, to win it, extending its years-long winning streak. Bitdefender has now won eight consecutive VBSpam+ awards since January of 2013.
"Bitdefender hasn't missed a single legitimate email in our tests since November 2012. This test was no different," Virus Bulletin wrote in its review of its latest round of testing. "Bitdefender achieves this month's highest final score. Just as impressively, the Romanian company is awarded its 30th VBSpam award."
In the March round of tests, Bitdefender Security for Mail Servers 3.1.2 beat all other competitors with a spam catch rate of 99.95 percent and zero false positives. Its final score of 99.94 placed it ahead of 14 competitors, including Kaspersky, Sophos, IBM and others.
"For years now, Bitdefender has been fine-tuning and advancing an already fantastic product," said Carmen Mitrica, head of the Bitdefender Antispam Labs. "Past success is building on current success and we now have a virtually unbeatable product. Competition is stiff, though, and that keeps us always performing at our best."
Bitdefender Security for Mail Servers 3.1.2 protects Windows and UNIX-based mail servers from viruses, spyware, spam and phishing with proactive content and attachment filtering technologies. The solution secures organizations' e-mail services, boosts productivity by blocking spam and provides common centralized management tools.

Thank you Maarten.
Can I ask, what does the code "local m= r(max)" and "forvalues j = 1/`m' " mean in that command? I am trying to figure out how congruent _mj (with ICE) is to _mi_miss (mi commands). I thought maybe the equivalent of _mj=j was _mi_miss=m, but that may be too simplistic or completely wrong.
I know you said you don't have STATA 11 yet so I understand you may not know. But, if i could start to understand the code, I could try to translate it. (maybe!) or maybe someone else has some ideas or direction.

The Ripley outdoor wall light offers smooth lines while retaining rustic charm.More Details >
The Ripley Collection of outdoor lighting brings clean lines to a rustic look. An old bronze finish warms the smooth cone shape of this outdoor wall light. All of Kichler's Ripley Collection fixtures are Dark Sky compliant.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
R14 bulb size is a must and still protrudes a little. Big box stores do not stock many types of R14 40W bulbs and as a result am using an indoor spot variety. That being said, we are very happy with the light profile: nice lines on the house, sharp cutoff and sufficient light on the ground where we wanted it. There is some glare present from the visible, protruding bulb but it is acceptable. We are happy with the purchase.

A novel numerical mechanical model for the stress–strain distribution in superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors
Qin, J. and Wu, Y. and Warnet, L.L. and Nijhuis, A. (2011) A novel numerical mechanical model for the stress–strain distribution in superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors. Superconductor Science and Technology, 24 (6). 065012. ISSN 0953-2048
|Besides the temperature and magnetic field, the strain and stress state of the superconducting Nb3Sn wires in multi-stage twisted cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs), as applied in ITER or high field magnets, strongly influence their transport properties. For an accurate quantitative prediction of the performance and a proper understanding of the underlying phenomena, a detailed analysis of the strain distribution along all individual wires is required. For this, the thermal contraction of the different components and the huge electromagnetic forces imposing bending and contact deformation must be taken into account, following the complex strand pattern and mutual interaction by contacts from surrounding strands. In this paper, we describe a numerical model for a superconducting cable, which can simulate the strain and stress states of all single wires including interstrand contact force and associated deformation. The strands in the cable can be all similar (Nb3Sn/Cu) or with the inclusion of different strand materials for protection (Cu, Glidcop).
The simulation results are essential for the analysis and conductor design optimization from cabling to final magnet operation conditions. Comparisons are presented concerning the influence of the sequential cable twist pitches and the inclusion of copper strands on the mechanical properties and thus on the eventual strain distribution in the Nb3Sn filaments when subjected to electromagnetic forces, axial force and twist moment. Recommendations are given for conductor design improvements.

MEXICO CITY, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Toluca scraped into the final of Mexico's Apertura championship despite losing 2-1 to America on Sunday after substitute Edgar Benitez's goal gave them a 3-2 win on aggregate.
Toluca, who beat America 2-0 in midweek in the first leg at the Azteca, are looking to tie Guadalajara's record of 11 league titles and will meet newcomers Tijuana in the final.
The Xolos, a small club promoted last year, recovered from a first leg defeat to beat Leon 3-0 at the border town's Caliente stadium and qualify 3-2 on aggregate.
There was an Argentine flavour to both America's first half goals.
Defender Miguel Layun scored in the 15th minute from Argentine Rubens Sambueza's backheeled pass and then former Argentina midfielder Daniel Montenegro headed their second in the 36th.
Benitez, who scored one of Toluca's goals in the first leg, got their all-important goal on the hour mark when he dribbled past two defenders and placed a low shot inside the post.
Tijuana faced a difficult task after losing the first leg 2-0 at Leon, promoted this year after 10 years in the second division but with a pedigree of five league titles between 1948 and 1992.
Fidel Martinez, Divier Riascos and substitute Richard Ruiz scored the goals for Tijuana, with the third coming in the final minute. (Reporting by Carlos Calvo, writing by Rex Gowar in Buenos Aires; Editing by Peter Rutherford)

Hurricanes players featured heavily in last weekend's round of Dream Team Fantasy Super Rugby but don't get your hopes up for a repeat performance tomorrow.
Cory Jane, Andre Taylor and TJ Perenara all posted big games against the Reds but all indicators show that against the Waratahs, expectations may need to be tempered.
While the Hurricanes are averaging the most fantasy points per game as a team, equal with the Highlanders, they are much less of a stand-out side away from home while the Waratahs tend to shut down fantasy points when they play in Sydney.
While I wouldn't necessarily transfer consistent performers such as Perenara, Taylor and Beauden Barrett out of your squad, I wouldn't bank on any as your captain this round. Fringe performers such as Jeremy Thrush, Alapati Leiua and Julian Savea may warrant a bench spot this weekend.
Instead of banking on continued form from the Canes, look to their opponents for strong plays. I'm expecting big games from Michael Hooper ($6.28 million), Bernard Foley ($8.32 million) and Israel Folau ($9.39 million) who all have great match-ups against their opposites.
Other players to target this week include:
• James Slipper, Reds, $3.88 million - he faces a Blues side today that's conceding the equal-most amount of 15+ point games against opposing frontrowers.
• Scott Fardy, Brumbies, $4.76 million - Fardy matches up with the Crusaders on Saturday, a side that's generous to opposing second rowers;
• Boom Prinsloo, Cheetahs, $3.8 million - his production has been down in recent weeks but I'm expecting a bounce-back performance against the Bulls;
• Francois Hougaard, Bulls, $8.22 million - he's been in great form of late and the Cheetahs consistently concede points to opposing halfbacks;
• Quade Cooper, Reds, $7.63 million - Cooper earns his 100th cap against the Blues today and will surely be fired up to win the battle of the colours;
• Jesse Mogg, Brumbies, $9.66 million - He threw up a stinker last week but Mogg has been otherwise reliable. The Herald Rugby Stats Centre lists him as third in tries, seventh in carries, ninth in clean breaks and seventh in metres gained. He'll bounce back.
In selection and injury news, there are some big names missing this weekend.
Influential back rowers Kieran Read and Luke Braid will not suit up for their sides, while All Blacks captain Richie McCaw will start at blindside for the Crusaders.
Many may be tempted to plug McCaw back into their sides but I would take a wait-and-see approach at this point.
In the backs, the Blues have lost Francis Saili to an ankle sprain while the Highlanders have sent flying winger Patrick Osbourne home from their South African leg.
There are also a number of big fantasy names that will start from the bench this weekend. Stormers utility Deon Fourie, Bulls five-eighths Jacques-Louis Potgeiter, Lions five-eighths Marnitz Boshoff and Bulls back JJ Engelbrecht are all likely to play reduced minutes.

'"I hope I can bring that attitude," said Ott, who has two years left on a contract that pays $2.95 million per season. "I want to bring my consistency of being hard to play against every single night. I feel I've done that since the start of my career, and I feel I have a ton of game left. I haven't even reached part of my peak yet."'

A great deal of "green architecture" does not work and the failures are not discussed because failures dealing with green don't fit into the environmentalist "template" of green being easy and cost-effective. The failures typically involve basic physics, engineering and construction practice—areas that the architectural profession has abandoned. Architects are trained as artists—not in the technology of construction. So the engineering profession has the answers? Wrong. Engineers are trained as computer programmers if they trained at all. Where do you go to get an engineering degree dealing with the building enclosure and HVAC systems? Nowhere in the United States. The blind are consulting with the inept. As for government policy? Cash for Caulkers? Home Star? What a mess. So what is the answer? Ah, come to the session. The answer is in the title: Don't Do Stupid Things.

Hi recently went to a main dealer for a possible purchase of an alpine white coupe.The salesman was really talking up the treatment they do to the paintwork to stop you having to polish it for a few years.
I personally enjoy cleaning my cars so not interested,but how good is the treatment they do ??and they charge £300 which ill never pay.
thanks in advance stefan

"It bothered me while I was running and I went in to get it removed. They tested some blood for the surgery, which was going to be 30 minutes and done. "But they looked at it and said it was bad. I was admitted into the hospital within two days." Adam, the son of Alex and Yvonne Bays of New Braunfels, began working with a pediatric oncologist at Methodist Children's Hospital in San Antonio.

House Republican leaders summoned their rank related and file to a late night meeting for what aides said would be an update on the talks. Democrats said they were reviewing the details of a possible tentative agreement. The developments unfolded as the administration readied hundreds of thousands of furlough notices for federal workers and warned that federal services from national parks to tax-season help centers would be shuttered without a deal by midnight. "We know the whole world is watching us today," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.. Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, told reporters gathered outside House Speaker John Boehner's office there was no agreement yet, and there was no claim to the contrary from the White House or Senate Democrats.

Seniors Andrew Franklin, Erika Castro, Mark Elias, Lacy Rudd, Justin Rivas, and Maxwell Terry earned the scholarships, which totaled more than $1.1 million. The students were among 40 in Texas' San Antonio district—which is comprised of more than 400 high schools, private schools and charter schools—selected to receive the scholarships. More than 15,000 students across the country applied for the awards last spring. According to NROTC District Coordinator Ronald Jackson, the applicants listed their top five college choices, with the scholarship going to their eventual choice. As a condition of accepting the scholarship, they will owe a minimum five-year commitment to the Navy upon graduation.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) has announced the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago as the tallest building completed in 2009. The tower, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP and developed by the Trump Organization, is the seventh-tallest building in the world, standing at 1,389 feet (98 stories).
2009 marked a successful 12 months for the American skyscraper, with three of the five tallest buildings completed during the year being located in the United States – Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, Bank of America Tower in New York (second-tallest at 1,198 feet), and Aqua in Chicago (fifth-tallest at 858 feet).
Chicago is home to more tall buildings completed in 2009 than any other city in the world. Asia, however (in particular, China), remains the center of global tall building construction. Over half of all buildings 656 feet or taller completed in the past 12 months were located in Asia, with 36 percent in China.
Despite these successes, tall building construction hasn't gone unaffected by the global recession as many construction projects around the world are cancelled, delayed, or put on hold. Compared to 2008, there has been a 28-percent drop in the total number of buildings 656 feet or taller completed this year. In 2008, 11 buildings were completed in the United Arab Emirates, a figure that has fallen to only 3 in 2009. In addition, there were no buildings from Africa, Australasia, Central America, Europe, or South America among the 50 tallest buildings completed in 2009.

2. Bank of America Tower, New York (1,198 feet)
3. China World Trade Center III, Beijing (1,083 feet)
4. Arraya Center Office Tower, Kuwait City (984 feet)
5. Aqua, Chicago (858 feet)
6. Al Fardan Residences, Doha (830 feet)
7. Shanghai IFC South Tower, Shanghai (820 feet)
8. RunHua International Building, Wuxi (814 feet)

10. Xinjiekou Department Store Phase 2, Nanjing (787 feet)
The CTBUH reports that 2010 will be by far the most active in the history of the skyscraper. A significant number of buildings expected to be completed in 2009 have been delayed, and will likely open in 2010. The sheer volume of high-rise buildings set to be completed in 2010 is astonishing. Data from the CTBUH suggests that more than 100 buildings that are 656 feet or taller will be completed worldwide within the next 12 months, which is more than the number of buildings 656 feet or taller already in existence in New York and Hong Kong combined.

A firefighter delivered a baby at the scene of a huge fire after recalling tips from TV programme One Born Every Minute.
The baby boy was delivered by firefighters Ross McLaren and Richard Hall in the back of a car at the scene of the blaze in Ponders End, Enfield, this morning.
The driver of the car drove through cordons surrounding the fire and asked for help after being stuck in traffic caused by the incident at 11am.
Mr McLaren, a firefighter at Euston Fire Station, said he knew what to do because his wife watches Channel 4 documentary One Born Every Minute set on a maternity ward.
He said: "The husband was driving and was in a bit of a panic. I could see that the lady in the back seat was in the middle of giving birth and when I looked I could see the baby's head.
"We began to give the mum oxygen and to try and reassure her. While Richie carried on doing that I ran round to where the baby was and kept telling the lady to push.
"Once he was born we rubbed him down to get his circulation going and when he started crying I knew it was going to be alright. We then kept mum and baby warm until London Ambulance Service arrived to take them to hospital.
"It has definitely been one of the highlights of my career and it's not something I ever expected that I would do in my life. Someone said to me the other day that as firefighters we usually enter people's lives at their worst moments so being there at such a joyful occasion makes a nice change."
The mother, believed to be in her 30s, and the baby boy were taken to North Middlesex Hospital, arriving in an ambulance at 11.22am.
Amanda Salmon, an emergency medical technician from Ponders End station, said: "Mum was holding the baby when I arrived. The cord hadn't been cut yet so I did that.
"I removed the wet blankets and put the baby into some fresh ones to keep him warm.
"We got the baby into the warm ambulance when it arrived and I helped Mum in afterwards."
The fire broke out in Turkish restaurant Vadi and spread to three flats above it, as well as the roof of the building, which have been damaged.
Enfield's High Street was closed to traffic and people living in the area were warned to keep doors and windows closed as a precaution against the heavy smoke. Firefighters remained at the scene this morning.
The fire is thought to have started in the restaurant's extraction system.Reuse content

Air Force Commissions 'Wargame Maker'Colin Campbell
The software, called WarCon, is being developed under a $750,000 contract with the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama
WarCon is a visual authoring environment that moves away from the traditional text-based programming interface. It contains an authoring assistant, which provides help and guidance to the game's creator. Games built using WarCon will feature a consistent look and feel, so students can focus on the substance of each game and scenario they encounter, rather than on the mechanics of how they interact with the game.
Richard Stottler, president of Stottler Henke said, "War games are a vital component in military education today, so having the means to develop them rapidly and consistently is critical to our armed forces' preparedness."

Today marks your 365th day in this world. The day you were born was like any other day, except this mama was getting mighty anxious to meet her mini #2. I had visited the doctor the Thursday before and was already progressing a lot (to say the least). I remember counting down the days until your due date, though thankfully you surprised us all and came two weeks early...which I was so appreciative of because it was steaming hot in Nashville. That Friday afternoon, we took your big sister to the park, I had lunch with Pappy, and then we took CC to get gelato after dinner. It was a normal Friday night, until around 10PM when I started having contractions and I had a feeling something was up. We immediately called your Aunt Meg to come over to stay with Caroline since she was already in bed and we headed to the hospital to see what was going on.
Once we got checked into triage, we called grandparents, Mimi and Pappy came to meet us, and then we waited for a few hours there to see if I was actually in active labor. Looking back, I prayed for that to be the night, but it didn't seem like it was going to happen as time passed and nothing had changed and contractions weren't in any regular pattern. Finally, they let me walk around the labor and delivery floor to try to speed up the process and by 6:30AM, I was 5cm dilated, they admitted me, and then the doctor broke my water. Suffice to say, you were being a little stinker then just like you are now!
Looking back, the day you were born was so calm and peaceful and the whole labor process was easier the second time around (thank heavens!)....I progressed quickly and then once the doctor told me I was ready to go and it was time to push, you were here within a matter of minutes. It only took 3 rounds of pushing, and then there you were, wailing away and then nestled happily in my arms. I will never forget the moment we made eye contact and you just gazed at me, and it was though you and I were the only two people in the room. Cherished moments I will treasure for always Little Bit.
In the weeks following your debut, life was hectic, but incredible. You were SUCH an easy baby and actually enjoyed sleeping... breastfeeding was easier this go-around, your demeanor was easygoing, and it made the newborn stage such a breeze.
People told me you would be different from your sister, but I never dreamed you would be totally opposite. It's a funny thing and I treasure your little attributes that make you "you". From day one, you have been a mama's girl through and through. When you want me, no one else will do and you'll cry real alligator tears until I take you in my arms. You still love to be held, love for me to rock with you and sing you songs every night when I put you to bed, and you love to giggle and laugh...that smile of yours is contagious my dear and I have a feeling it's going to be one of your most endearing traits...it simply melts my heart.
This year has had its share of ups and down, triumphs and tribulations, and good and bad days, but because of you, my heart knows what it is to experience real, unconditional love and you bring joy to my life each and every day...you have been an incredible blessing to our family. To see you and your sister play with each other gives me more happiness than one deserves and I thank God for letting me be your mama.
I love you to the moon and back peanut! Happy 1st Birthday Carson Elizabeth
OXOX, Mom

The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Newborn Screening Program will add severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) to the Texas Newborn Screening Panel in September. The SCID testing will use the same newborn blood specimen collected from a heel stick.
DSHS says the SCID group of genetic disorders characterized by profound defects in the immune system is one of the most serious and life-threatening forms of immune system problems. It can occur in about one in 40,000 to one in 100,000 newborns. It can be treated if identified early; if not, most affected infants die within their first year.

At the Country Music Association awards in Nashville, effectively the Grammys for country music, superstar hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood performed a song skit mocking Obamacare, the Democrats' public health initiative that has proved hugely unpopular amongst conservatives.
Paisley, feigning a strained back, was attended to by Underwood who suggested he try Obamacare: "I started signing up last Thursday and I'm almost done!" They then launched into Obamacare By Morning, a spoof of George Straight's country classic Amarillo by Morning, attacking the initiative's slow service and inefficiency.

It's not the first time Paisley and Underwood have performed political material at the awards – after country singer Hank Williams Jr was fired from ESPN's Monday Night Football for a rant that equated Obama with Hitler, the pair backed Williams by performing the theme from the show with him on stage at the 2011 awards ceremony.
Country music has a chequered history with right-wing politics. In 1969, Merle Haggard's satirical Okie from Muskogee featured the lines "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee. We don't take our trips on LSD. We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street. We like living right and being free"; his words were enthusiastically taken at face value by a whole stratum of country fans. Lee Greenwood, John Rich, and Williams Jr all campaigned for Mitt Romney at the last election cycle. But megastar Toby Keith has called himself a 'conservative Democrat', and the Dixie Chicks became liberal darlings following their denunciation of George W. Bush and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Elsewhere at the awards ceremony, Taylor Swift was presented with the one-off Pinnacle award, given to those who take country music to a wider global audience, whose only previous recipient was Garth Brooks in 2005; Paisley and Underwood thanked her "for never once humping a teddy bear", a dig at Miley Cyrus and her infamous VMA performance. Swift didn't win the top category of entertainer of the year however, which went to the aforementioned George Strait. Winning two awards each were Swift, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Florida Georgia Line, the latter winning single of the year for their crossover hit Cruise, featuring rapper Nelly.

Lime Kiln Natural Area in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
The kilns at this siteThe park derives its name from two historic lime kilns located within the park, which along with the quarry, date from the 1845 and are in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1845 businessman Frederich Nehs began quarrying limestone in Menomonee Falls. The kilns worked for 49 years until they closed in 1894. About 9.5 acres of the lands along the river gorge are embedded with fossils that date from the Silurian Era, 45 million years ago. These acres have been designated a geological area of state wide significance. See the old photo below of the original lime kilns.
Lime Kiln Natural Area is a diverse natural area with a cattail marsh, fresh (wet) meadow, forested drainage, hardwood deciduous forest and the Menomonee River. In 2007 there began a five year management project to return native plants and animals back to the area.
Wisconsin's early lime industry
Years before Wisconsin became a state the early settlers were mining and firing limestone to create quick-lime for use as mortar and whitewash. In the 1850's the commercial production of lime was concentrated mainly in the eastern counties where some of the state's most abundant limestone deposits were located. By the late 1800's Wisconsin had become one of the countries leading lime producers shipping over one million barrels annually.
As transportation methods improved commercial lime production began to spread to other counties of the state especially Fond du Lac, Door and Manitowoc. Competition, hardwood shortages, increased transportation costs and the growing use of Portland cement made small-scale kilns become increasingly unprofitable and many ceased production by the early to mid 1900s. The final nail in the coffin for many kilns was the beginning of the Great Depression which saw a near standstill in the construction industry.
The firing process
Simplified, a lime kiln is an oven used to produce quicklime by the "calcination" of limestone. Limestone is made up mainly of three components: calcium, carbon and oxygen. When limestone is heated the carbon escapes as carbon dioxide, leaving lime. This reaction takes place at 750°F, but a temperature up to 2,000°F is usually used to make the reaction proceed more quickly. The process of lime burning was carried out by a kilnsman who was experienced in the reduction of limestone. An experienced kilnsman was required to monitor many variables in order to reduce the amount of "dead burnt" lime which was not useful as an end product. The heating and cooling process took several days.
These kilns were "draw" kilns. Draw kilns operate under the principal of gravity. Limestone is fed into the top of the kiln and the cooked stone is removed from the bed of the kiln. Fireplaces were located at the sides of the kiln where fuel was burnt to cook the limestone. One advantage of the draw kiln was that it could be operated on a continual basis. Even though this type of lime kiln was more effective than past versions, it was still extremely inefficient and the lumber needed to fire it could easily necessitate the clearing of large tracts of woodland.
After the lime was fired it was cooled in cooling sheds and slaked. Slaking involves adding moisture to the lime; this occurred in a number of possible ways from sprinkling water on the lime to letting it sit and absorb water from the atmosphere. The correct mix is approximately one part lime to one part water. Other additives were combined with the lime to create various products.
Limestone (Calcium carbonate)
The limestone mined here dates back to the Silurian Period of the Paleozoic Era (410-438 million years ago). A common sedimentary rock, limestone was formed when a shallow sea (possibly as little as 70 feet in depth) existed over Wisconsin. In this sea accumulations (reefs) were created by shell and shell fragments consisting of corals, brachiopods, crinoids and other types of early life. Many marine organisms extract calcium carbonate from the seawater to make shells or bones and when these organisms die their shells and bones accumulate on the seafloor. Over millions of years these sediments harden into what we see today as limestone. Calcium carbonate is found naturally as a component of aragonite, calcite, chalk, marble and travertine. See the photo below of the quarry today.
Uses of Calcium Carbonate-
· As a filler in plastics.
· As an extender in paints.
· As an ingredient of cement.
· To treat animal hides and leather.
· In swimming pools as a pH corrector.
· In agriculture to improve acidic soils.
· In forensic science to reveal fingerprints.
· As a major component of blackboard chalk.
· In adhesives, sealants, and decorating fillers.
· In water and sewage treatment to reduce acidity.
· As a building material in the form of marble or limestone aggregate.
· Medically as a calcium supplement, antacid or as a base material for pills.

One of the greatest of all musicals, Gypsy (1959), by Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents, is also one of the most idiosyncratic. There's nothing like it in the Broadway canon. It has no chorus or ensemble dancing, and it focuses on one solitary character — not a very commendable one, either. Gypsy forever changed the course of the American musical, driving the entire art form down the truer psychological path whose groundwork had been laid by Rodgers & Hammerstein. If that classic duo proved that anything on earth is a ripe subject for musical treatment, then Gypsy proves that anyone can be its hero.
In this forever fascinating musical — and you can see all its wonders for yourself in Masquerade Theatre's riveting production — we meet the scary, elemental, single-minded Rose, who steamrolls through husbands, family, producers and lesser stage mothers to get her babies onstage. Her favorite child June is going to be a star — even if it kills her. It seems nothing could harm Rose herself. She's immensely likable and full of charm; everyone loves her and admires her spunk and drive, until they stand in her way and she flattens them. These wondrous contradictions make Rose the ultimate role in musical theater, and her singular obsession with show business and fame signals an unmistakably American character.
Gypsy ennobles the seedy, frayed edges of that long-lost, tawdry era of second-rate vaudeville. It's a hardscrabble existence, but Rose will not be deterred. She browbeats managers to book her bad kiddie act and keeps her growing daughters — headliner June and neglected Louise — in perpetual childhood, which inevitably foments revolution. By the end of Act I, the adolescent June flees with an aspiring dancer to escape Rose's suffocating influence. Meanwhile, Rose's milquetoast boyfriend Herbie has an ulcer because of her refusal to marry him and settle down. Betrayed and abandoned by June, Rose won't be assuaged. In her chilling first-act curtain, "Everything's Coming Up Roses," Rose fixates upon mousy Louise as the unlikeliest of meal tickets. Who needs June, when she can make anyone a star? Powerless to stop her, Herbie and Louise embrace in horror as Rose belts out the future that only she foresees.
Through November 25. Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby, 713-861-7045. $15-$45.
Act II finds them broke and booked into the lowest of the low, a burlesque house. Even indomitable Rose has lost her verve and finally relents to Herbie's proposal to make a proper home for Louise, who doesn't even know how old she is. Suddenly, the lead stripper's a no-show and the manager's frantic to find an instant replacement. Rose has never missed a cue in her life. With manic take-charge attitude in overdrive, she pushes Louise into the costume and flings "Let Me Entertain You" at the conductor. Though frightened and confused, Louise spies herself in the dressing-room mirror — the duckling has been transformed. In a series of vignettes, she blossoms into Miss Gypsy Rose Lee, the "Queen of Burlesque." Louise has become a star and her own person, which means that Rose, with her meddling and interference, is superfluous.

And what of mama? Well, she gets that most famous of sung monologues in all musical history, "Rose's Turn" — this is her mental breakdown, and she's forced to face her demons. It's shattering theater, and Rebekah Dahl, who throughout has equaled the legends who've assayed this role in the past, triumphs. She overlays Rose with unbearable heartache and unbeatable charisma as her dreams shatter and short-circuit. Blowsy and vengeful, she struts and preens, commanding the stage and showing just what makes mama tick — that she could have been a star. Incandescent and dazzling, Dahl eats up this most demanding role as if dining at Tony's.
Fortunately, she has exemplary company, which is no surprise to anyone who knows Masquerade's sumptuous past work. John Gremillion, as spineless Herbie, contrasts wonderfully with Dahl's whirlwind, holding his own during "You'll Never Get Away from Me" and "Together Wherever We Go." Laura Gray, as grown-up Louise, makes a statuesque Miss Lee, the most stunning stripper you'll ever see. In the comedy trio of battle-scarred burlesque troopers, Kristina Sullivan, Allison Sumrall and Libby Evans bump and grind into our hearts and stop the show with "You Gotta Get a Gimmick." Adding special talents are Braden Hunt as toe-tapping wannabe Tulsa, June's boyfriend; Beth Hempen as grown June; and Noelle Flores and Maureen Fenninger as young June and Louise. With his trademark love of musicals and how best to stage them, director Phillip K. Duggins channels all the pluses of originator Jerome Robbins, then adds his own magic, thanks to Clay Ratcliff's atmospheric scenic design and Kayleen Clements's richly evocative period costumes.
Without doubt, Masquerade's Gypsy is the best reason to go to the theater this month. It's not just musical theater history onstage, but theater at its most alive.

Katrina's Front Row Faves! Check Out Who Turned Out The Most Star-Studded Day So Far!
Get ALL the info from the tents, thanks to my daily diary & VOTE for who you think looked best!
The third day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week definitely drew one of the most star-studded crowds! We started the day off at Lela Rose, where celebs included Brittany Snow and Shantel VanSanten, before popping into the Tory Burch presentation, where we saw Kanye West walking around — Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford went up to Kanye and introduced herself! While he caused a frenzy, I doubt we'll see him in a Tory Burch Reva flat anytime soon!
The next stop of the day was Max Azria, where close friend of the designer Sophia Bush, (who recently collaborated with the creative director and designer), was sitting front and center in between Rose McGowan and Katrina Bowden — but the celebs in attendance only kept growing as the day went on!
We took a break and popped into the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge, where Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz was being super friendly to the ladies in the room. The Calvin Klein underwear model came straight from the mens show to grab a bite to eat, where he was overheard saying, "I'm a farm boy from North Dakota, but I love being at a fashion show!"
Also in the lounge was Fergie — the star, in town for the DVF show, popped in before and appeased a craving for something sweet with a handful of Baked by Melissa cupcakes. Molly Sims walked in, shouted out, "Fergie Ferg in the house," before rushing over to her side. The two spent some time laughing and chatting before heading to the show.
At DVF, the runway was decorated with revolving mirrored poles, which made walking around a bit difficult — I don't know how the models managed! After taking in the colorful collection, we popped into the Lea Sophia lounge at the Empire Hotel before the next show, where celebs like Katrina Bowden have stopped by to take a quick break from the week.
The last stop of the day was the Marc Bouwer 3D presentation, where Selita Ebanks, Victoria's Secret beauty and muse to the collection, looked stunning in a creation from the designer.
Check out who else turned out & let us know who you think was best dressed on day three!

Tzero Technologies and Analog Devices have teamed up for a new way to watch HD content at home. The companies announced on Tuesday that they have combined their signature technologies into the first standards-based wireless High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) that will eliminate the need for connector cables between HD media devices.
Tzero, a leader in ultrawideband (UWB) technology, and chipmaker Analog Devices seem to have recognized the demand for high-definition TVs, DVD players, set-top boxes and game consoles and the inevitable tangle of wires that comes with them.
Utilizing Tzero's UWB chipset and Analog Devices' JPEG2000 video codec, a transmitter plugged into a DVD player, game system, DVR or media PC compresses video data using JPEG 2000, combines it with audio, packetizes and encrypts it and sends it via the Tzero chips. The receiver attached to the HDTV decompresses the audio and video before it reaches the display. Tzero said it will announce the manufacturer that will produce the first adapters for purchase in approximately two weeks. The cost will be "similar to other Wi-Fi devices."
The most enticing feature of wireless HDMI is the power to eliminate all wires, except for the power source. Even better, the companies' wireless interface doesn't need a line of sight between any of the devices. That means you can squirrel away your media cabinet to one room and stream a TiVo, satellite, DVD player, Xbox and video iPod to three other TVs in the house up to 10 meters away. Tzero promises that Analog Devices' JPEG2000 codec has a high level of resilience, only dropping the wireless connection every two to three hours. That would theoretically enable you to get through a whole movie without any interruption at all. And, since it's standards-based, it will play nice with other WiMedia devices and is immune to interference from other wireless networks or household appliances, the companies said.
By the time the Consumer Electronics Show rolls around in January, Tzero says we can expect a top-tier TV manufacturer to announce an HDTV with this chipset integrated into the display.

Are you the kind of person who hates following directions, who gets overwhelmed at the prospect of devoting several hours to learning a pattern?
Following crocheted afghan patterns can sometimes look complicated, and with interruptions from children, phone calls, and any number of events that draw your thoughts away from the task at hand, losing your place is almost guaranteed to squelch your desire to continue. On the other hand, some mindless crocheting can help to calm the nerves.
Know How To Crochet
YouTube offers many crochet tutorials. Just enter crochet tutorials in the YouTube search box. Before you design a crocheted afghan, though, learn something about gauge and tension. You don't want an afghan that's too loose or too tight and you don't want to struggle as you crochet.
Start With Something Small
Before you crochet something as large as an afghan, practice crocheting something simple, like a pot holder or a scarf, to familiarize yourself with how to create tension in your crocheted piece. A simple repeat throughout the pattern of a single or double crocheted scarf will give you an idea of tension.
Finding the proper tension means discovering a way to hold your crochet hook and yarn so that your hold on the hook and yarn is not too loose or too tight.
Sometimes initially following a pattern helps the new crocheter become comfortable with crocheting. Washcloths are a great way to learn how to crochet. They allow you to start over if you've made a mistake without losing too much time or patience.
Here are links to sites that include three easy wash cloth patterns:
Gauge Tells You How To Size Your Afghan
Once you are familiar with tension, you must understand gauge when designing your own afghan. Gauge helps you figure out your afghan's size. In order to determine gauge, choose the crochet hook you want to use to crochet your afghan. A larger crochet hook will take you less time to crochet the item, but the weave will be loose. A smaller crochet hook will take more time, but the weave will be tight.
Chain a length of yarn at least 10 stitches long. At the end of the 10 stitches, single crochet several rows until the length of your finished piece extends to at least twenty rows.
Now grab a ruler and count the number of stitches across the bottom (furthest row of your finished piece from the hook) that make up one inch. Count the number of stitches in that one inch space. Determine the size you want the width of your afghan to be (in inches).
If you want a 5-foot wide afghan, the width of your afghan will be 60". If your gauge tells you that one inch requires six stitches, multiply 6 by 60 to get 360 stitches. Chain 360 stitches to begin your afghan.
If the pattern you create requires the next row to be single crocheted, add two chains to the original chain and, not counting the chain on the hook, place your crochet hook in the second chain from your hook to begin your first row.
If the pattern you create requires the next row to be double crocheted, add three chain stitches to your original chain and, not counting the chain on the hook, place your crochet hook in the third chain from your hook to begin your first row.
If you triple crochet your first row, make sure you add four chains to your initial chain, and, not counting the chain on the hook, place your crochet hook in the fourth chain from the hook to begin your first row.
Creating Your Own Pattern
Once you feel comfortable using yarn and a crochet hook, you might want to crochet something larger than a potholder. If you love to crochet but hate following directions, creating your own patterns is a simple way to experiment, and the process itself is easier than you might think.
Patterns are merely designs that repeat themselves. In other words, if you start by crocheting three rows of triple crochet, then change to two rows of double crochet followed by three rows of single crochet, you must repeat that pattern to the end of the afghan. Introducing one other element when you've already set the pattern will disrupt the flow – unless you include it in the pattern.
How? Using the previous pattern as an example,
Chain X number of stitches
* Rows 1-3, Triple Crochet
Rows 4-5, Double Crochet
Rows 6-9, Single Crochet
Repeat from *
If you accidentally crocheted one row of double crochet after the three single-crochet rows, your pattern changes:
* Rows 1-3, Triple Crochet
Rows 4-5, Double Crochet
Rows 6-9, Single Crochet
Row 10, Double Crochet
Repeat from *
The pattern itself can include different weights, colors, and textures of yarn for a really unique style. For example, using a fancy fur yarn for rows 4-5 and row 10 in the example above while using a classic yarn for the rest of the afghan will add interesting texture to the finished afghan.
Decide Which Stitches You Will Use
Crochet is not limited to single, double, or triple crochet stitches, nor is crochet limited to working in the front of the stitch; crochet includes various types of stitches. When you have worked with crochet for a while, you will invent your own stitches for which you will have have to provide your own name. To give you an idea of the different kinds of stitches available, please visit Crochet Pattern Central's stitch tutorial. They offer both written and video tutorials (click the links):
The following instructions won't work for complicated items like sweaters and mittens, but they will work for scarves and afghans. And when you become experienced at creating patterns, you might find yourself creating even more complicated patterns.
Shopping For Yarn
When shopping for yarn, visit a yarn shop in person. Once you become familiar with the different yarn selections, you can shop online. But first familiarize yourself with colors and textures in person. Visual and tactile choices of colors and textures are more apparent in person than they are online. Hold one yarn against the other. Do the colors and textures blend well? Or would the contrast result in an attractive afghan?
Perhaps you prefer different shades of green in your afghan as opposed to stark contrasts of red and yellow. Or maybe you'd like to use variegated yarn separated by solids that match one of the colors in the variegated yarn segments. The choices are many.
Beginning Your Own Pattern
Write your pattern out before you start. The pattern should be simple. First determine how many rows will repeat in your pattern: three? ten? Decide what types of stitches you will use in your pattern. What follows are examples of different crochet patterns using four, five, and six rows as a start. The pattern can be as long or as short as you want.
One thing you might want to keep in mind is that if you want the pattern to remain on only one side of the afghan, use numbers divisible by two. If you want the pattern to alternate with some of the pattern appearing on the opposite side of the afghan (textured yarns work great here), use odd numbers.
1st Crochet Pattern – odd number
1st Row, triple crochet – Color #1, using a baby soft yarn
*2nd Row, single crochet – Color #2, using a chenille yarn
3rd Row, triple crochet – Color #1, using a baby soft yarn
Repeat from *
2nd Crochet Pattern – odd number
1st & 2nd Row, double crochet – Color #1, with classic yarn.
*3rd Row, triple crochet – Color #2, with Eyelash Yarn.
4th & 5th Row, double crochet – Color #1, with classic yarn
Repeat from *
3rd Crochet Pattern – even number
*1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th row, single crochet – Color #1 for the 1st & 4th row, Color #2 for the 2nd and 3rd row, using a boucle yarn for Color 1 and classic yarn for Color 2
5th & 6th row, triple crochet – Color #3 in a fluffy yarn
Repeat from *
Where To Buy Yarn
Jo-Ann Fabrics offers an amazing array of yarn options. After visiting them in person and once you know your yarn types, visit Jo-Ann Fabrics online. Michaels also offers yarn. Shop at Michaels online.
How Many Skeins Of Yarn To Use
To get an idea of how large your afghan should be and to determine how many skeins of yarn are necessary to complete your afghan, follow the advice of these seasoned professionals at Crochet Pattern Central. Just take a look at the various samples, pay attention to the type of hook they recommend for the pattern, and decide what you will need.
Think Outside the Loop
Experimenting with assorted stitches, yarns, and color is fun. But why not change your crochet hook too? Crochet a simple scarf using the same stitch, but give it an entirely different look by changing your crochet hook.
For example, say you want to start by single crocheting an entire scarf. Crochet several rows with a large crochet hook using a classic yarn, then switch to a slightly smaller crochet hook for a couple of rows using a fluffier yarn. You are limited to crochet patterns you create only by the breadth of your imagination. WARNING: crochet a looser last row so that when you reinsert your hook, you will be able to work without struggling.
Too Much Yarn or Not Enough?
The nice thing about yarn is that if you end up with too much, you can always use the extra yarn for other afghans or other projects. Better to buy too much than too little.
Word of Caution
Before you use knobby yarns such as the soft boucle, become comfortable with the smooth round yarns. Finding a stitch in a boucle will be difficult for somebody unfamiliar with crochet, and starting with a textured, knobby yarn may make the new crocheter want to give up.
Have fun coming up with your own patterns! Crocheted gifts, like towels and washcloths, are fun to make and you will be guaranteed that the recipient of your gift will receive a unique present.

With 24 parties and 147 million registered voters, it is a huge logistical exercise and for some people it is also very good business.
Hargito loves election time. He's not so concerned about who wins because for him it's all about taking part.
Hargito runs a business in Jakarta supplying merchandise to political parties.
This year there are 24 parties and more than 450,000 candidates.
He is doing very nicely thank you - his company produces a range of products from baseball hats to watches with prices starting at 4,000 rupiah ($0.50) for a simple T-shirt while a leather jacket in party colours - a must-have item for ambitious political operators - goes for 750,000 rupiah ($90).
Free goodies
Of course, the real trick is to get your party goodies for free and that's not as hard as it sounds - in fact it's remarkably easy.
All you have to do is turn up at a party campaign rally and odds are you will be given a free T-shirt, a snack, a bottle of water - possibly with the party logo on the label - and perhaps a pack of cigarettes.
A friend of mine is trying to see whether he can collect free T-shirts from all the parties before polling day. At the present rate he'll make it with days to spare.
Handing out sweeteners to encourage people to attend political rallies is nothing new in Indonesia and it's not just free food and souvenirs - hard cash gets distributed too.
If you want to ensure a good turnout for the cameras, the easiest way to do it is to rent a crowd - literally.
There's no shortage of willing bodies ready to be recruited - for the right price of course.
Some savvy operators make a living out of moving from one rally to the next.
The specialists are the motorbike taxi drivers. Heru has been riding at rallies since the start of the campaign on 11 March. He puts on the appropriate party T shirt, ties a matching party flag to the back of his bike then rides through the streets making as much noise as possible on behalf of his sponsor of the moment.
Money talks
Heru says different parties have different rates. For instance, President Megawati's party, PDIP, gave him just 10,000 rupiah whereas the Golkar party, which held power under the authoritarian rule of former President Suharto, offered twice that amount.
If you can get a friend to ride pillion, then you'd probably get more like 50,000 rupiah.
Of course the key question is whether all the inducements will really influence the way people vote.
Smita Notosusanto, who works for an electoral watchdog called the Centre for Electoral Reform, doubts it.
She takes a pragmatic approach to the issue: "I actually think it's OK for people to accept small gifts," she says, "as long as they still believe their vote is secret."
That suits Hargito just fine. As long as the political parties continue to buy merchandise from him, he doesn't care too much what they then do with the goods.
He's already distributed more than two million T-shirts, but Hargito is looking well beyond the vote in April.
Indonesians go to the polls again in July to elect their President. The election gravy train just keeps on rolling.
