The String Theory Landscape
Michael Dine
Technion, March 2005
Fulfills a long-standing dream: a unified theory of Einstein's General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, contains many features of the Standard Model of particle physics. Has resolved some of the great questions of quantum general relativity, esp. regarding black holes.
But while compatible with many facts of nature, any honest assessment would have to conclude that there have been no sharp predictions for future experiments, and not even any real understanding of the basic facts of the Standard Model.
Recently, for the first time, a suggestion how string theory might actually be related to nature, and a possibility for predictions. The key to this is the realization that theory possesses a huge number of states. This ``landscape" of string vacua is now being explored. It is possible that sharp predictions for experiment will soon emerge -- or that we will see that the theory is false.
(Last Nobel Prize –2004)

decay) and electromagnetic interactions.

for processes involving Zo
f(x) is the probability for finding
a quark carrying a fraction
x of the proton
momentum. QCD predicts the
dependence on Q2
Several puzzles:
We know the composition of the universe, and it is peculiar:
Many proposals. I will focus on one, not because I am certain that it is correct, but because I believe it is the most promising.
The proposal has two pieces. But I will try to argue that within something called ``The Landscape" they form a unified whole. They may make distinctive predictions for experiment, which will be tested over the next decade.
A hypothetical symmetry between fermions and bosons.
If correct, explains:
A symmetry between fermions and bosons. As a theoretical possibility, discovered in string theory. But first considered as a possible phenomenon in nature for another reason: the ``hierarchy problem."
At a basic level, the problem is one of dimensional analysis. (~=c=1).
Why isn't MH¼ Mp?
Jackson (Lorentz): if electron had size ro, its self
energy » e2/ro. ro < 10-17 cm me = 1 GeV
If ro» 10-33 cm, me¼ Mp.
What's wrong with this argument? In QED (Weiskopf, 1930's),
ro effectively le; so self energy of order a£ me
(Jackson didn't tell you that!)
What about the Higgs? – self energy is really e2/ro! So mass naturally of order Mp.
BUT IF PAIRED WITH BOSONS -- ok.
Supersymmetry must be a broken symmetry. The effective
size – scale of the breaking. This argument predicts
supersymmetry at scales not much above MW, MZ.
What should we see? For every boson, a fermionic partner; for every fermion, a boson.
Ecm = 14 TeV
Unification of Couplings
t(p -> e+po)>1033 years
Homework assignment: explore the idea that the fundamental
entities in nature are not point particles [quantum field theory]
but strings. Construct a Lorentz invariant theory of strings.
1. Many solutions exist with four flat dimensions, six curved.
These look, in some cases, very much like the Standard Model—
repetitive generations of quarks and leptons, Higgs…
2. Low energy supersymmetry as we might hope to see at
accelerators often emerges.
3. All of the solutions found in the homework are actually part
of a single, larger theory – only one consistent theory of
quantum gravity?
4. Many important insights into black holes, other issues in
quantum gravity, field theory (e.g. examples of exact duality
between electricity and magnetism).
When physicists complain that string theory hasn't made contact with nature, these are the obstacles.
The discovery of supersymmetry would likely allow us to probe nature at a much deeper level.
Supersymmetry, as a theoretical possibility, was discovered in String theory, and it seems to play a fundamental role. But until recently, no idea what implications this should have for particle physics/the world around us: does string theory predict low energy supersymmetry?
In 2002 I spoke here and asked how might one decide this question. Difficult because no
scheme to decide which of many states of string theory might somehow be selected. I suggested look at features which might be true of many
String vacua. Now a serious proposal:
The Landscape.
The cosmological constant is the energy density of the quantum vacuum. Einstein's equations:
This integral doesn't make sense. Presumably cut off by new
physics at some scale. E.g. supersymmetry, broken at
TeV, would give TeV4! 1052 too large!
String theory: at first sight, doesn't help.
Even with broken supersymmetry, cosmological constant can be calculated and it is just as large as the field theory estimates suggest. This is closely related to many of the problems discussed earlier.
Vast array of vacuum states. A discretuum of values of the cosmological constant (Bousso, Polchinski; Banks, Dine, Seiberg).
Only in vacua with sufficiently small cosmological constant does structure (galaxies, etc.) form. Cosmological constant must be very small – at most about 10 times what is observed. Expect that if there is a distribution of cosmological constants, the cosmological constant is as large as it can be according to these considerations. This argument successfully predicted the observed cosmological constant.
Many find this form of explanation troubling, but it might be inevitable, much like arguing that the earth sun distance is as it is because, in the distribution of planetary distances from stars, only a distance of order an AU leads to conditions suitable for life.
Astronomers might call this ``observer bias."
Pangloss in Candide (Bernstein/Hellman, others): ``Let us review chapter 11, paragraph 2, axiom 7: Once one dismisses the rest of all possible worlds, one finds that this is the best of all possible worlds."
Weinberg referred to this idea as the``weak anthropic principle." It is disturbing to many people. As Weinberg has said:
``A physicist talking about the anthropic principle runs the same risk as a cleric talking about pornography: no matter how much you say you're against it, some people will think you are a little too interested."
Recently, evidence has string theory seems to realize just the possibility envisioned by Weinberg. (Bousso, Polchinski; Kachru, Kallosh, Linde, Trivedi).
String theory: ten dimensional. Many classical solutions where space time is of the form M4£ X. X a ``Calabi-Yau" space; solves the source-free Einstein equation,
Rmn = 0.
On X, can include fluxes, analogous to magnetic fluxes. Like magnetic flux, quantized. Many possible fluxes (of order 100's), can take many values (100's). So vast numbers of possible states: 100300 for sake of discussion.If cosmological constant uniformly distributed, more than enough to give many with value close to that observed.
It is not absolutely clear that all of these would-be states exist within the theory, but if so, significantly alters our views of string theory (and what might be some sort of ultimate explanation of the laws of nature).
If these states really exist, and if the universe explores them in its
history, what can we do with such a theory?
Statistics (Douglas, Kachru and collaborators)
Count. Ask distributions of states with various
1. Cosmological constant (dark energy density)
2. Amount of supersymmetry
3. Gauge groups
4. Numbers of quarks and leptons
5. Weak scale (MW)
6. Particular features of supersymmetry breaking
Example (perhaps the most straightforward; still challenging)
Cosmological constant
The easiest states to study are those which have an approximate supersymmetry. One can count the states with small supersymmetry breaking and small cosmological constant. Extrapolating these results to large supersymmetry breaking suggests roughly equal numbers of supersymmetric, non-supersymmetric states. [This statement is controversial] The bulk of the states with small cosmological constant and small Higgs mass have TeV scale supersymmetry [or technicolor].
Nsusy is the number of supersymmetric states, e is a currently unknown small factor. Note that for small F, the latter two branches dominate. Each branch makes distinctive predictions.
What is striking is that with this input, string theory
may become predictive!
At the Tevatron at Fermilab, we are already exploring a new regime of energy and distance. In three years, we will start to explore much greater energies at the LHC. It is quite likely that we will stumble on remarkable, new features of nature: new symmetries, large extra dimensions, warping of space-time….
Such discoveries will be extraordinary in and of themselves. It is conceivable that they will tell us something about the character of physical law at far shorter distance scale.
Not typical of states in the landscape. But if the cosmological
constant is much larger than we observe, don't form galaxies, stars (Weinberg, 1989). Perhaps question of why we are in a part of this very large universe with small cosmological constant is analogous to question of why fish are found in water, or why planets with life are at a particular range of distances from stars.
Astronomers might call this ``observer bias." This explanation raises many questions, but at the moment is the best (only) one we have. The String Landscape is the first theoretical framework which realizes Weinberg's proposal.

Sorry, Chelsea
Sorry, Chelsea, but when Mom goes to a home and Ellen goes to college Dad will become your legal guardian anyway. I've spent years worrying about what will happen when he does, but now that there's Lindie I doubt things will be so bad. She's flying down to visit the day after I go back to Kilkenny, which is on Monday. I understand you're upset, but that's the way things are.

5 SEO Copywriting Tips for Google Hummingbird
By Jeff George
SEO Copywriting Before & After Google Hummingbird
After Google's release of the Hummingbird update, SEO copywriting is just well-written copy with well-placed keywords and accurate and useful, descriptive metadata attributed to it. There once was a time when keyword stuffing and other grey/black hat techniques would actually work temporarily, but those days are over.
SEO Copywriting Post Hummingbird
The entire integrated spectrum of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) relies on the creativity, expediency, and efficacy of content creations. SEO copywriting, since its inception, has been comprehensively dependent on the algorithm practices of Google. Over the years, this search engine giant has come up with increasingly complicated algorithms to exterminate every possible manipulative optimization technique, poorly written or low quality content, and spam on its search results pages. Google's vision perfectly aligns with quality web marketing practices.
SEO Copywriting Landscape Prior to Hummingbird
Even a few years back, the concept of SEO copywriting entirely concentrated on maximizing the use of keywords. The whole industry crystallized around the concept of incorporating a certain percentage of generic and specific keywords in their content while selling messages and managing content creativity around the key phrases. The content world was jolted into the harsh reality of Google Hummingbird. After this algorithm, if you are still focusing on keyword density percentages instead of creating the best content possible, you have a long way to go.
How Copywriting Evolved
To be more precise, Hummingbird has been preceded by Panda and Penguin – two of the earlier Google algorithm versions. These two algorithms were completely revised and re-engineered to launch Hummingbird in 2013. This new algorithm made it nearly impossible for malicious spammers to infiltrate and upended most of the Search Engine Optimization copywriting practices of the yore. With Hummingbird, Google is consistently transforming the comprehensive search dynamics. It expects the user to search in ways that includes –
- Question – searching by inquiring different questions
- Mobile search – searching while on the move
- Anticipate – anticipating what a user is looking for even before the search strings are finished to increase the speed of information delivery
These steps will usher in new changes in the process of copywriting and help in establishing unique nuances in content. This algorithm is also a stride towards processing 'real' speech pattern where the search engine generates results even by processing conversational queries.
Page Authority, Keywords, & Semantic Relevance
Building on page authority is important as Hummingbird rewards authority. It advocates depth over surface, information over fluff, backup over bluff, and a compelling collection of facts, data, and information. Each of these ingredients meshed together propels the authority of page by establishing its content quality. Keywords, so far, play a significant role post Hummingbird. However, the outdated technique of employing a same keyword and keyword string repeatedly throughout the content is the biggest faux pas that can ruin the credibility and ranking of your page. The long tail searches are highly likely to be characterized by human needs and desires and not just keyword strings. Keywords still remain a fundamental strategic tool but the writer must find interesting methods to redefine the keywords in meaningful ways. Most notably, content writers must move beyond the limiting constraints of keywords to offer depth and breadth in their content and copy. Page authority and intelligent use of keywords are intrinsically related with semantic relevance. Your content must communicate to a precise need with in-depth knowledge in a particular topic or area. In hindsight, Google's Hummingbird is a step that will encourage serious content creation which upholds and endorses the value of quality over mindless gimmick and spam content.
5 Google SEO "Hummingbird-friendly" Copywriting Tips
Good content usually has 1 primary focus and should always be more relevant than creative. It should always keep the reader's attention. It is important to stay on point so that your article does not seem cluttered or difficult to read. When you write, don't worry about impressing your competitors or anyone other than the reader. The main goal should be getting your point across clearly and directly to the website's user. Everyone should be able to read and understand your website. A good rule of thumb is to write at a 9th grade level when you're writing website content. If the words you're using are not commonly said or the sentence structure of your sentences is too difficult for the average person to read, chances are your website will not appeal to everyone and in turn this will only hurt your ranking with the search engines.
1. Write for People and Forget About the Search Engines
That means make bullet lists, give lots of white space between paragraphs, and make headings worth reading. People don't read at first, they scan. Write and format in a way that is easy for them to see the important words. Expect people to skim instead of reading line per line. Break each paragraph into bit size reading. Use a format that is visually appealing with images, colors, and language.
2. Use Headline Formulas
Headlines work by bringing the reader in and getting them to stop scanning and start reading. The best SEO copywriting is using what works and headline formulas do work. A good headline formula to follow is the "who-what-why." For example: "Have You Been Secretly Penalized by Google?"
3. Users Read 24% More When You Use Numbers
Numbers grab the reader's attention. For example: "The Top 5 Tips To Gaining More Readers Through SEO Copywriting."
4. Use Bold and Italic, Instead of CAPITALIZATION
That's pretty much all I can say on that one.
5. Use Power Words
Power words are usually adjectives that draw the reader in. For example, the phrase "Must Read" works well along with "Free." A power word in a title should be written at the beginning like this: " 5 Free Must Have WordPress Plugins." The power words are "Free" and "Must Have" in this case. Put some thought into this and you will see your click through rate increase.

A thorough guide to help you understand
ESSA grants that support education.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015. It reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and succeeds the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) of 2002. The law covers the full breadth of K-12 education.
What does ESSA mean for schools and districts?
ESSA governs most federal funding streams that support education, which includes both noncompetitive grants and competitive grants.
The ESSA is important because of some changes that affect how and when these grants will be made available, and the ways that they may be used to support your work in providing a high quality education for all students.

Geoff ground his teeth and turned back, starting to walk down the corridor. It was dark; but there was a weak light above a door down the way. But he couldn't see Leigh. Had she gone in? He hoped not. He turned around again to check the hallway to the stairs; nothing. Huh. She must have gone in. Geoff turned back to head towards the light, when Leigh, who looked a little flustered but bright-eyed, burst from the darkness of the hall.
'Sorry, excuse me.' She gushed, speaking fast, then ran back down the stairs.
Right. That was even wierder. Is there something going on downstairs I don't know about?
'Probably. Perhaps a party to celebrate your absence?'
'Shut it Tol.' Geoff sighed again and made his way back down to the main room; something told him that entering that room alone was not a good idea.
As he reached the bottom he saw everyone huddled together by the fire, but still in their seperate groups in which they had obviously arrived. Geoff was intrigued by the two tall beings; a woman and man, obviously powerful but very calm; no aggressive force came from them. The woman caught him examining their faces and smiled warmly. Geoff blushed slightly and moved around the room. Near the door was a small child, who was being nursed by the woman with the swords...what was her name?
'Elira numbskull. Do you not listen to anything?'
'Right. Thanks.' He growled.
He looked again and saw Leigh knelt beside her too; she was talking about ice cream. The little girl's tear-streaked face lit up and she nodded. This tender moment was interrupted by a loud beeping from Geoff's collar.
'Oh Flint.' He cursed. He looked at his watch; his power was 4%. If he didn't want to loose his power and return to natural form; which could be very dangerous in this environment; he needed food, and fast. He glanced up at the map above the fire; there was a knive and fork symbol in the room two doors down from this main one. It was his best bet.
'Better get a move on flitter-bug, or your wings are going to spring out. As if you need another reason for people to think your a freak.'
Cheers. Nancy tail.
'Oi.' Tol grumbled into his ear.
He headed out of the room to the left down the corridor, so unaware of his surroundings that he bumped; quite vigorously, into Leigh.
'Hi.' She spoke sheepishly. Geoff didn't want her of all people to see him in his natural form. She might...well...
'Might what? Go off you? I don't think she was ever on you. Ha.' Tolstoff jibed, sniggering heartily.
'Shut up pony.' Geoff mumbled under his breath.
Leigh stared at him curiously.
"Would you help me get ice cream and hot cocoa for everyone?'
Rather taken aback by this offer, but seeing the upside of getting some kind of human food inside of him, he accepted.
'Um, sure, yeah.' He spoke quietly.
She lead the way down the hall and turned into a door on the left.
'I figure we'll look in the kitchen first before we try that magic room.'
She said as she flipped the old light switch in the room. The light crackled on to show a large room; a kitchen with old stone tiles at the far end, with a large iron stove and a huge white fridge. The counters were marble; but dusty. The cupboards were a dark wood to match the huge mahogany table that sat to the right of the main kitchen, with at least ten chairs around it.
'Perfect.' He heard Leigh say under her breath.
She moved over to the fridge and pulled it open. Geoff moved to the cupboards and opened one.
'Its -'
'Empty.' Leigh finished. She looked puzzled and rather annoyed. She closed it again.
'I really fancied some ice-cream too.'
'Yeah, cocoa sounded pretty appealing as well.' Geoff replied. The lights flickered and Leigh quivered. She looked at Geoff and then back at the fridge. She pulled it open.
'Wow. Now that is cool.' She moved aside to show three racks of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream boxes, the swirling cold air meeting the warm. Geoff turned and pulled the cupboard open. There was at least twenty jars of cocoa sat on the shelves.
'Interesting. It seems to respond to what you want. That's very handy.'
'Very. It's all so strange...I don't quite know what to think.' Leigh sighed as she pulled out a few cartons of vanilla.
'Hmm. Don't question it. It might get upset.' Geoff smiled and turned on the tap to fill the kettle.
'It? What do you mean It?' Leigh questioned.
'The house. It's obviously enchanted. It's why we can't get out. We're here for a reason. Maybe we're not abandoned by our 'authors'. They've put us here. On purpose.' The words Tolstoff had said to him earlier played around his mouth easily. Yes. We are here on purpose.
Leigh smiled back, a little puzzled, but seemed excited. She grabbed a few spoons from the drawer and turned.
'Well, better serve this up.' She made her way back to the main room with a spring in her step.
'She seems perky.' Tol commented.
'Yeah.' Geoff grinned. Maybe this wasn't so bad a place after all.

While it seems clear that he is using "trick" to refer to a change in algorithm to remove the nonsensical data after 1961 and "decline" likely refers to the quality of the data, the phrase has led some of the more extreme critics to conclude that a data-shaping plot was at work.
Referring to weather data from the last decade, another scientist wrote: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."
While such insinuations of poor scientific practice have drawn the most attention, more damaging for climate scientists are e-mails which reveal the hostile, partisan, bunker-like atmosphere at the lab, which goes to ridiculous lengths to prevent even moderate critics from seeing any of the raw data.
In one e-mail, Prof. Jones wrote that climate skeptics "have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I'll delete the file rather than send it to anyone."
As it happens, Prof. Jones admitted earlier this year that he "accidentally" deleted some of the CRU's raw-data files, material that the centre says amounts to about 5 per cent of its collection.
Prof. Jones wrote of efforts to deter skeptics from having access to data: "We will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!" In another, he asks that several of his colleagues "delete any e-mails" about their work on the IPCC's 2007 report.
That sort of language has led many people, including climate scientists, to worry that the scientific findings of the centre have been undermined by scientists who see themselves as activists trying to prove a case rather than impartial arbiters of scientific fact.
As the political fallout escalated yesterday, it became apparent that it may take some time for climate scientists to repair their collective reputation.
In Australia, 10 shadow ministers in the opposition Liberal Party resigned in the wake of the revelations, in protest against their party's support for Australia's carbon-reduction bill.
In the United States, Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner, leader of a climate-skeptic caucus, declared that the e-mails "call into question the whole science of climate change" and pledged to resist any climate bill.
And Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, announced that the e-mail leaks provide sufficient proof that climate change is not man-made that there should be no policy resulting from the Dec. 7-18 Copenhagen summit, in which the world's nations will try to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
"It appears from the details of the scandal that there is no relationship whatsoever between human activities and climate change," said Mohammad al-Sabban, the head of the Saudi Arabian delegation. "Climate is changing for thousands of years, but for natural and not human-induced reasons."
While some climate scientists have taken a defensive posture, the crisis has led a number of others to conclude that their approach to the subject needs to change.
Prof. Hulme leads a group of CRU scientists who believe that the extraordinary political importance placed on their research, and the activist, ideological way that research has been used by the IPCC, has put scientists in the position of being the authors of policy - a position that distorts the role of science in society.
"If we simply believe that science dictates policy, then I'm afraid we're living in an unreal world," Prof. Hulme said. "If people are arguing that science policy should flow seamlessly from the science, then science becomes a battleground, where people start saying that we must get the science on our side. We have lost an openness and a transparency that leads to good science."
Prof. Hulme is one of several scientists calling for the raw data of climate-change research to be made available to everyone, including climate-change skeptics, on the Internet. That, he says, would allow genuine research to proceed unhindered. Some of his colleagues also say the IPCC now does more harm than good and should be disbanded.
That position has led some of his colleagues to attack him. This week, several said in Internet posts that such transparency would be unworkable because the matter of climate is too urgent and the stakes too high to allow skeptics to have any influence on policy.
That, Prof. Hulme said, is exactly the attitude that led to the sort of questionable practices chronicled in the CRU e-mails.Report Typo/Error

The accountancy watchdog has fined the former finance director of Bradford & Bingley for failing to alert his board to a serious worsening of the bank's financial position during the financial crisis.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) reprimanded Chris Willford and fined him £13,000, reduced from £20,000 because he settled early. The FRC's fine follows a £30,000 penalty imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in December over the same matter.
The case centred on May 2008 when Bradford & Bingley was trying to raise £400m from its shareholders in a rights issue to increase its financial strength.
On 16 May, Willford received an internal report that showed bad debts on the bank's buy-to-let mortgages worsening and its net interest margin shrinking. A new forecast also showed the bank would struggle to meet its target for annual profits.
Willford failed to tell his fellow board members in time for the rights issue circular to shareholders, agreed by the board on 19 May, to describe the bank's worsening finances.
The rights issue subsequently failed, plunging Bradford & Bingley into greater chaos. The bank was nationalised in September 2008 and its savings accounts were bought by Santander.
Paul George, the FRC's executive director of conduct, said: "This case shows the high standards of professional conduct expected from accountants who take up executive positions in business."
Willford is one of only a few senior figures to be punished for their actions during the financial crisis. He successfully resisted the FCA's attempt to fine him £100,000 but he settled quickly with the FRC.
Willford will also pay the FRC £250 to cover the costs of its in-house lawyer.
The FRC said Willford's conduct could have undermined confidence in other accountants but that his behaviour was not dishonest, deliberate or reckless. In its judgment last year, the FCA said the oversight by Willford was not to blame for a profits warning on 2 June 2008, the collapse of the rights issue or Bradford & Bingley's nationalisation.

The Takeaway
Romney Attempts to Woo NAACP
Yesterday, Mitt Romney spoke to the NAACP at their national meeting in Houston, Texas. And from the first few words, it seemed the audience was receptive to him. But about halfway through the speech, things took a turn. For 15 seconds, the crowd booed. Romney, for his part, maintained his composure, smiling, until the booing died down.
Could this be one of the worst moments on the Romney campaign trail? Or, alternatively, one of the best? Takeaway contributor and Republican political strategist Ron Christie shares his thoughts.

The blog for Leif Rogers, MD, FACS in Beverly Hills and Pasadena, California.
American's are inundated daily with subliminal fast food marketing campaigns saying eat! Eat! EAT! Causing obesity in America to be prevalent among all age groups. "The obesity epidemic is one of the country's most serious health problems. Adult obesity rates have doubled since 1980, from 15 to 30 percent, while childhood obesity rates have more than tripled (Trust for America's Health, www.healthyamericans.org )." Now people have options like gastric bypass surgery and numerous weight loss plans to fit each lifestyle. The American Society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, research shows "that the surgeries also help to "prevent, improve or resolve more than 40 obesity-related diseases or conditions including Type 2 diabetes, heat disease and certain cancers." Skilled, board certified plastic surgeons are now able to restore figures with body lifts or sagging skin with noninvasive procedures. People are now choosing to shed pounds and get back to their old selves.
Total advertising spending by fast food restaurants reached $4.6 billion in 2012, an 8% increase over the $4.3 billion spent in 2009 (Fast Food FACTS). With all the advertisement focused on fast food, high in calorie content, theres no wonder why Americans and people of industrialized countries are packing on the pounds. Even the fashion industry is catering to this increase in average body weight by "vanity sizing" (size inflation), stretchy jeans that market to people's shrinking egos and growing sizes.
With the average American man now weighing 194 pounds and woman, a shocking 165 pounds (New York Times), it's no wonder people are looking into weight loss procedures. "Men weigh in at 16 pounds more than in 1990, the average weight for women jumped 14 pounds over the same period (Gallup Poll)."
According to Dr. Stephan Guyenet's research, (Fast Food, Weight Gain and Insulin Resistance), claims that it hasn't just doubled but American obesity has tripled since 1980. Total bariatric operations performed according to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery in 2005 were at 171,000. Total body lifts performed in 2013 by American Society of Plastic Surgeons www.plasticsurgery.org are listed as followed (the gender distribution remained interestingly the same for both males and females) .
Lower Body Lift 7,281
Thigh Lift 8,709
Upper Arm Lift 15,769
Buttock Lift 2,438
Breast Lift 90,006
Tummy Tuck 111, 986
In the media we see actors like Rosanne Barr from the hit TV show "Roseanne", Randy Jackson former member of "The Jacksons" and host on American Idol, both have lost significant amounts of weight then opted for body lifts.
Good candidates for the body lifts are individuals with substantial loose sagging skin tissue in multiple areas of their body. Someone who has reached his or her specific weight goals with realistic future plans to maintain them. People who do not smoke and have healthy diets that help insure there are no complications with surgery, or recovery are great candidates. There are also noninvasive procedures like Exilis Elite to help with skin tightening, body shaping and overall skin rejuvenation. This is perfect for someone that has lost weight in smaller areas of the body or loss of elasticity due to age. The technology behind Exilis Elite is focused on a layering of thermal heat energy that targets collagen fibers, disrupting them until they unravel, causing the healing process that inhibits new collagen production. "Layering simply means that energy is delivered to the various depths in the tissue. Changing the cooling during treatment allows you to treat deep tissue all the way up to the superficial layer" (http://www.btlaesthetics.com).
In 1830 Adolphe Quetelet, a social scientist introduced BMI to measure body norms and abnormalities of individuals (underweight, normal, overweight, obese). Body Mass Index (BMI) or Quetelet index, is calculated by the mass and height of a person. The World Health Organization regulates BMI. Not only has the BMI increased over the past half-century but more than two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese (U.S. Center for Disease and Control www.cdc.gov ).Obesity can raise a lot of concerns, hypertension, some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon), type 2 diabetes, heart disease,stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and respiratory problems.
Now it is time for you to take a look at your life and weigh the options. Know that there are alternatives and a light at the end of the tunnel. There are many options to help surgically. If you've had significant weight-loss or interested in any body lift procedure book a consultation with Lief Rogers, MD, FACS located in both Beverly Hills or Pasadena California. www.leifrogersmd.com . Interested in a noninvasive procedure like Exilis Elite visit PRIVET Aesthetics located in both Beverly Hills or Pasadena California www.privetaesthetics.com .

Everywhere you turn, advertisements about weight loss or fitness plans flood your daily life. Your Instagram feed is filled with "models" showing off their favorite diet shakes, or Facebook articles showcasing how celebrities like Khloe Kardashian recently slimmed down their figure. It's not just TV, billboards or radio advertisements. These advertisements are everywhere you look, and completely inescapable. However, there is another growing trend with the acceptance of being over weight. With clothing brands offering vanity sizing and celebrities showcasing new plus size clothing lines which only creates the idea that weight gain as admissible. Obesity is the second preventable cause of death behind tobacco use in America, according to the National Institute of Health over 300,000 deaths occur each year. What are the major contributors to weight gain? And what are your healthiest options to eliminate fat for good?
Contributors to Weight Gain
There are numerous reasons why people gain weight: lack of exercise, poor diet, or no consistency in healthy life choices. An article By Sherry Rauh, "Is Fat the New Normal", has an interesting perspective on why obesity is so prevalent in Americans. We are social beings, humans identify with their friends and family, so if they're overweight you might dismiss that as being the norm. Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School , co-author of "Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Change Lives", has found through research that the problem is spreading in our social networks. Even shopping experiences with friends feels better because vanity sizing has made smalls and medium sizes fit larger individuals. This is counterintuitive to the health of Americans. Over the past 35 years it's no wonder the diet industry has gained so much momentum. Since 1960, Americans have more than doubled in obesity rates, causing the average adult to be 24 pounds heavier than in 1960. (A Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). What is the healthiest and safest ways to rid your body of fat?
Eliminate Fat
A balanced diet and exercise are necessary to maintain a healthy weight. Even with regular exercise, time spent at work or having children can leave you with problem areas that you just can't get rid of! Luckily, PRIVET Aesthetics offers the latest FDA approved non surgical treatments to ensure those problem areas will disappear. The latest injectable, Kybella, can treat those dreaded "turkey necks" or double chin fat. The science behind the treatment is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body, deoxycholic acid, that breaks down the fat and the fat is absorbed. Love handles and belly fat can be treated by Vanquish. The Vanquish breakthrough technology delivers thermal energy to specifically target fat layers in larger areas compared to other contouring treatments, changing the entire circumference area. The breakdown of the fat cells through the thermal energy is referred to as apoptosis. The body then naturally eliminates the fat through the lymphatic system. "The treated body part is located in the high-frequency electric field. The temperature increases to apoptic levels in the fat tissue while the surrounding tissue remains protected from apoptic temperature levels."(www.btlaesthetics.com David McDaniel, MD and Paula Lozanova, MD). PRIVET Aesthetics is located in Beverly Hills and Pasadena, offering a luxury atmosphere with the latest technology in non surgical treatments. www.privetaesthetics.com For those who desire dramatic weight loss and other surgical options like liposuction, please visit Leif Rogers, MD, FACS www.leifrogersmd.com.

The "Big C", cancer, probably the most terrifying words anyone can ever hear. American's are constantly being bombarded with endless information on what causes it or what keeps a person from getting it. One of the most common forms women is breast cancer. With increased awareness, survival rates have vastly improved, recovery support communities are available and women have the option to rebuild their breast through reconstruction surgery.
The Facts.
Cells in the body that begin to grow out of control and change are diagnosed as cancer. A lump or mass can form as with most types of cancers and that is identified as the tumor. Depending on where the tumor began to develop, determines the type or name of the cancer. The breast tissue made up of glands for milk production (lobules). The ducts that connect the nipple to the lobules is where the breast cancer starts. Fatty, connective and lymphatic tissue is what the remaining part of the breast is comprised of. Typically, the cancer is detected during routine screenings called mammograms or CBE (clinical breast exam) before the symptoms have even advanced. Fortunately, most masses or lumps found during exams turn out benign; meaning they have not grown, spread, are not cancerous or life threatening. About 12 percent of women in the general population will develop breast cancer sometime during their lives. (National Cancer Institute of National Institute of Health).
Women that have a history of breast cancer now have the option for genetic testing to determine whether or not they carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation that indicates possible future breast cancer. Women have the option of double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. Recently, media attention has turned to numerous actresses and public figures that have undergone this procedure. These women are all advocating early detection and testing which can GREATLY reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Who are these women?
Angelina Jolie
One of Hollywood's most iconic actresses, winner of 3 Golden Globe awards, child activist and lets not forget the wife of Brad Pitt. Jolie opted for the genetic testing which uncovered that she did carry the gene. She underwent a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction reducing her chance of getting cancer from 90% down to less than 5%. Jolie is very outspoken about her decision and advocates to all women so they can be aware of their options.
Wanda Sykes
Known for her outrageously sidesplitting personality, comedian-actress Wanda Sykes got serious when she went in for a cosmetic breast reduction that exposed the gene. Sykes appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and told her story about getting her double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Then she jokes, "At least with the LGBT issues we get a parade, we get a float, it's a party. [But] I was real hesitant about doing this, because I hate walking. I got a lot of [cancer] walks coming up."
Sharon Osbourne
Wife of one of heavy metals most famous musicians Ozzy Osbourne, mother of three, and host of "The Talk" tested positive for the gene opting for a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Sharon tells "CBS This Morning" that "I didn't want to take the pressure of every time I would feel a pain or anything, I would be 'this is it, this is it!' And when you have the gene, you have to have mammograms more, so it's like, 'No, I can't take it'." Osbourne has now dramatically lowered the chance of ever getting breast cancer.
No matter what your age, getting yearly screenings and mammograms are necessary. Do your research and ask questions when looking for the right Doctor. A great website to visit for information on mammograms and breast reconstruction options is http://www.realself.com. If you find yourself in need of breast reconstruction options you can learn more about Leif Rogers, MD FACS at http://leifrogersmd.com/about/ . Dr. Leif Rogers has received grants from institutions, his research is published in several medical journals and he specializes in breast reconstruction with a specific concentration on microsurgery a fundamental key for this type of operation.

November is right around the corner. You are looking forward to spending time with your friends and family around the holidays this season. Since you've been devoting so much time to your career, there's been no time to visit all those family gatherings on the west coast. New York City is freezing and sunny Los Angeles, California is calling your name. You glance into the window as you exit your office and see an unrecognizable, grumpy, tired face in the reflection. Late nights on the laptop are really doing a number on you. The phone rings as you step into your cozy apartment. Your sister is calling to inform you she booked Oxygen Facials for the two of you in Beverly Hills at Leif Rogers, MD, FACS the day after you arrive. Botox is the next topic of conversation. You hang up the phone and ponder, if it can really work for you?
The History of Botox
The discovery of botox has been around for over 100 years, no wonder it's the most talked about injection amongst beauty critics and magazines across the globe. The bacterium was discovered in 1895, and over time been used for health remedies and cosmetic purposes. Botulinum toxin A is used in Botox and Dysport. It's is a protein derivative of the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum that has been purified to relax muscle contractions, helping crows feet, furrowed brows, lines on the forehead, neck or around the mouth. Botox is a prescription drug and should only be administered by highly trained professionals.
Here is a list of other remedies that botox has been used for (Allergan data on file; Global Literature & Information Services 2010)
• To treat increased muscle stiffness in elbow, wrist, and finger muscles with upper limb spasticity in people 18 years and older.
• To treat the abnormal head position and neck pain that happens with cervical dystonia (CD) in people 16 years and older.
• To treat certain types of eye muscle problems
(strabismus) or abnormal spasms of the eyelids (blepharospasm) in people 12 years and older.
The latest in Botox
Botox has recently been cited on October 20th, 2015 in Time Magazine by Alice Park. "Researchers report in the journal Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology that shots of botox into the heart can keep its beating more regular and lower the risk of serious post- surgery complications like stroke, heart attack and kidney failure. Anywhere from 10% to 50% of patients who receive heart bypass surgery to circumvent blocked vessels in the hea
rt can develop abnormal heart rhythms." Botox has been cited for treating excessive armpit perspiration, (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) depression and migraines. With all this research it's safe to say visiting a certified Plastic Surgeon for a little help with lines is well worth it!

I'd prefer wool over Seal Skinz for sleeping so that my feet can dry out.
Are you using a hammock? Your system seems about right for a hammock, but I think you need more insulation underneath in that case.
If you're sleeping on the ground, I think you could drop the Cap 4. But, in the winter, it's always better to have too much clothing than not enough.
One pair of wigwam socks seems inadequate. Also, what about a waterproof layer for the footwear?Sep 13, 2012 at 10:23 am #1911970
I'll be sleeping on the floor.
I have trail runners, and I was thinking about putting on sealskinz as an extra layer if I have to.Sep 13, 2012 at 11:57 am #1912005

I would take a windshirt.
If it really is below 25, snow will be dry enough to slide off a smooth windshirt and you might be able to leave the rainjacket at home. If you are out on a longer trip or the weather looks like it might be damp, bring both the rain and windshell.
20F, headwind, sunny:
If you hike in your base plus fleece you still freeze in front from the wind, yet you boil in the back.
If you hike in your base plus rain jacket you sweat to much, leaving you chilled later.
If you hike in your base plus windshirt you stay comfy in the front, and only sweat under your pack.
With synthetic base layers and a windshirt, I would leave the sleap shirt behind, you can always sleep in your fleece if your baselayer is damp.
What about sunglasses?
So you are hiking in just trail runners and sealskins? No gaiters?
I find a windstoipper hat like the Dome to warm to hike in anything but the coldest and windiest weahter, also it's annoying because it muffles sound. With that in mind, are you comfortable hiking in the balaclava when it's warmer than about 15F?
I would second the wool socks for sleeping over the sealskinz, you want to give your feet time to dry out sometime in the 24hrs.Sep 14, 2012 at 9:18 am #1912199
Thank you for the advise on the windshirt. Which one do you recommend? (besides a houdini)Sep 14, 2012 at 10:25 am #1912222

It seems like this windshirt could work really well in sierra winter conditions, which can be fairly wet. I have no experience with it, was just chcking it out recently.
I'd love to hear more from folks on their winter Sierra set-ups. The temps can vary widely (i.e, it can get warm) and it can get melty and wet. Its hard to imagine not having a shell, but I don't have any experience with snow camping/ carrying more than a daypack.Sep 14, 2012 at 9:59 pm #1912365

I did not mean to suggest leaving a hardshell behind unless you are only out for a short time and know it will not be above freezing.
As far as which windshirt… I am partial to one with a hood. Just got a Stoic one, light and cheap and fits great for tall slim people. Montbell Tachyon is also light and cheap, other than that you can check out the STOTM report for an intro on a few different ones as well as their use.

Few people on the right realize that beyond all the leftist/libertarian/anarchist truther nonsense there is an alternative interpretation of the events that led up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Primarily 9/11 happened not because Bush was a baby-eating monster that destroyed the towers because he wanted an excuse to invade Iraq, but because of a strong Bush-era policy in place that banned racial profiling accompanied by a singularly disastrous affirmative action hire.
While today both Democrats and Republicans agree that only the all-seeing, all-knowing Sauron eye of the NSA can keep us safe from terrorism, typically pointing to 9/11 as the perfect example of the necessity of the NSA, in reality the 9/11 plot was only a hair's breadth away from getting blown out of the water by the FBI prior to the attacks. Surprisingly it wasn't more data that they needed, nor did they need more lax security laws that would allow them to snoop through your porn folder.
All they really needed was the ability to racially profile.
Let's wind back to a few months before the attacks happened. At least 2 FBI agents, Greg Jones and Harry Samit, were already hot on the heels of prospective terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, an accomplice of the 9/11 hijackers, at least a month before the attacks in August 2001. After getting notified by a Minneapolis flight instructor that an Arab was trying to learn how to fly a plane but not land one, the FBI arrested Moussaoui on Aug 16, nearly a month prior to the attacks. So what was the problem? The FBI supervisor for the agents tailing Moussaoui, Michael Maltbie, never even pursued the possibility of getting a warrant to search Moussaoui's computer. A warrant in this case would have led directly to Moussaoui's incredibly important contacts in France who were involved in plotting 9/11. All these details and contacts could have been exposed weeks, possibly months, prior to the attacks.
Amazingly, Agent Samit petitioned Maltbie an astounding 70 times for the warrant that could have stopped 9/11. No response nor even any formal application for a warrant to search the apartment was even made. The hypothetical prevention of 9/11 was suffocated in the womb.
Needless to say, after this epoch-making failure Maltbie was, of course, promoted.
So what was the holdup, exactly? Why couldn't they get a warrant? The answer may surprise you.
Today not many remember, but when George Bush entered office in 2000 he did so while campaigning under the banner of "compassionate conservatism," or what in practice should be called "Republican social justice." Specifically Bush complained in the debates that profiling against Arabs was "racist" and any such practices, should he become President, would be stopped immediately. Thanks to the fact that Internet video still wasn't much of a thing back then, this opinion unsurprisingly fell down the collective memory hole.
Thankfully it exists today and can be seen here.
At the 47:28 mark Bush begins his lecture on how evil and racist it is to ever suspect a Muslim of anything.
This whole mode of thinking apparently permeated policy under the Bush administration.
The following is a direct quote from the US air ticket agent, Michael Tuohey, who let in Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers.
I got an instant chill when I looked at [Atta]. I got this grip in my stomach and then, of course, I gave myself a political correct slap... I thought, "My God, Michael, these are just a couple of Arab businessmen."
Mohamed Atta, leader of the 9/11 hijackers; it was apparently too racist to consider him suspicious-looking.
As you can see, he seems well schooled in the fine art of checking his privilege. Not only did he let it one of the greatest mass murderers of the 21st century, but he mentally chastised himself for even considering that a scary-looking Muslim person could ever mean anyone any harm. As far as we can tell he was following the Bush-era policy of letting in all Arabs, without so much as a second thought, to the letter.
With this in mind it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together. The warrants to search the apartment of a suspected terrorist, the warrants that could have broken the
9/11 case wide open, the warrants that could have saved thousands of American lives, prevented two major wars, and possibly changed world history as we know it, may not have been filed because DAT BE RACIST. After all, wasn't that Minnesota Flight school instructor, who noticed that an Arab man was wanting to learn to fly a plane but not land one, using his White male privilege to unjustly judge someone? What if the Arab was innocent? As we have seen with the clock boy fiasco of 2015, wrongly suspecting an Arab of terrorism is far, far worse than letting a potential Arab terrorist kill innocent people. When FBI Supervisor Michael Maltbie refused to file those warrants requested by his FBI agents in the field, one of whom expressly communicated his suspicions that Moussaui was likely to be planning to fly a plane into the World Trade Center, was doing what every White man today is harangued to do constantly: Maltbie checked his White male privilege. They had all the evidence and all the reasonable suspicion in the world, yet they did nothing, and as a result lots of American citizens, including people of color, whose lives actually matter, died.
FBI supervisor Michael Maltbie. This dipshit wouldn't let FBI agents get a warrant to search a 9/11 plotters house, possibly because he thought it was "racist"; this led to a promotion.
This exact story was repeated on the other side of the country in Arizona when FBI Agent Ken Williams sent a report of his suspicion that Middle Eastern flight school students in Arizona were Al-Qaeda agents training in order to crash into the Twin towers. This report never made it out of FBI headquarters and was entirely ignored.
In Palm Beach, Florida, where the majority of attackers, including Mohammed Atta, were training at a different flight school, a crop duster named Willie Lee called the police to report Arabs coming up to him and asking suspicious questions about his plane and the chemicals he used. This report never even made it out of the local jurisdiction, and was entirely ignored by the police.
One thing to keep in mind is that Arabs were already terrorizing the US at this point so it was not as if all suspicion thrown on them was unfounded.
In October of 2000, at the same time as those very debates where Bush was complaining about racism against Arabs in America, Al-Qaeda attacked the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen, killing 17 American servicemen and injuring 39. In 1998, 200 people were killed in an Al-Qaeda attack on the US embassy
in Sudan. And of course, in 1993, the World Trade Center had already been targeted by Ramzi Yousef, the Kuwaiti nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, former Al-Qaeda senior member and 9/11 mastermind. On top of all this, there were warnings from the CIA for months prior to 9/11 that Al-Qaeda had plans involving planes and possibly New York City in the works.
Here's a quote directly from a recent article in the Atlantic that details the apathy of the White House to Al-Qaeda's movements.
The warnings continued. On July 11, the CIA sent word to the White House that a Chechen with links to Al-Qaeda had warned that something big was coming.
On July 24, the Daily Brief said the expected Al-Qaeda attack had been postponed but was still being planned. Finally, on August 6, the CIA titled its Daily Brief: Bin Ladin Determined to Strike the US. The briefing didnt mention a specific date or target, but it did mention the possibility of attack in New York and mentioned that the terrorists might hijack airplanes. In Angler, Barton Gellman notes that it was the 36th time the CIA had raised Al-Qaeda with President Bush since he took office.
No steps were taken, however, certainly no steps involving detaining or even checking suspicious-looking Arabs who had only been in the country a short time.
This brings us to the next farcical detail leading up to the greatest government fuckup in national security history. At the time of the attacks we were under the leadership of our first African American female National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice. Rice, for her part, didn't seem to care much about Al-Qaeda. When National Security Council counterterrorism advisor Richard Clarke came to Rice requesting the ability to freeze Al-Qaeda assets and launch covert military strikes months prior to the attacks, in order to cripple their operating ability, Rice let the request rot on the vine. She seemed far more concerned with bumping up military spending on Cold-War-era ballistic missile systems than with protecting the country from foriegn terrorism. Incredibly, when Clarke brought up the danger of Al-Qaeda to Rice in person, even after months of hounding her with memos, not even a flicker of recognition crossed her face; according to him, it was as if she had never even heard the term "Al-Qaeda" before.
On July 10th, CIA director George Tenet and CIA counterterrorism advisor Cofer Black begged Rice to reconsider and to aggressively target Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden. Instead Rice dismissed their concerns and went back to her plan to spend $600 million on the obsolete and irrelevant missile defense system.
Later, a Jew and close personal friend of Rice, Philip D. Zelikow, whom Rice hired on as an aide to the State Department in 2005, and who was later appointed as the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, conveniently downplayed this meeting as unimportant. Still Tenet maintained afterwards that it was the most important pre-9/11 meeting, and the biggest botched opportunity for stopping the attacks. Of course it must just be coincidence that the meeting also happened to be overseen by a Black female affirmative action hire.
Given all these facts—the affirmative action hires, the refusal to carry out warrants on suspicious Arabs, the abolition of profiling, etc.—it doesn't seem out of the question to suggest that political correctness is at least partly to blame for federal government's complete lack of ability to stop 9/11.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Mars Inc., the company that makes everything from Skittles to M&M's to Uncle Ben's, has joined McDonald's, Wendy's, and a half-dozen other companies in quitting the American Legislative Exchange Council.
ALEC, as it's known, is a corporate-funded non-profit that writes pro-business and often anti-union draft legislation for state lawmakers to introduce in their legislatures. ALEC has come under fire recently from good-government and civil rights groups for pushing voter identification bills that critics say discriminate against blacks and Hispanics. ALEC foes have also blasted the organization for promoting so-called Stand Your Ground laws like the one at the center of the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause, one of the groups in the anti-ALEC coalition, hailed Mars' decision. "Its leaders understand that continued support for ALEC's advocacy of vigilante justice and assaults on voting and employee rights, public schools, and reasonable environmental regulations is neither good business nor good corporate citizenship," Edgar said in a statement.
In a statement published this week, ALEC executive director Ron Scheberle said his organization wouldn't be cowed by what it called an "intimidation campaign launched by a coalition of extreme liberal activists committed to silencing anyone who disagrees with their agenda." He continued, "Finally, now more than ever, America needs organizations like ALEC to foster the discussion and debate of policy differences in an open, transparent way and not fall back on bullying, intimidation and threats."

Woods to miss next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational
(Reuters) - Tiger Woods will skip next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, leaving him with little time to sharpen his game enough for the year's first major, the April 9-12 Masters.
But the former world number one says he still hopes to play in the Masters.
Woods, who had back surgery last year, has played just two PGA Tour events this season and said last month he would not return to competition until he felt his game was "tournament-ready".
"I spoke to Arnold today and told him that I will not play in his tournament this year," Woods wrote on his website on Friday. "I'm sorry I won't be in Orlando next week, but I know it will be a really successful event.
"I've put in a lot of time and work on my game and I'm making strides, but like I've said, I won't return to the PGA Tour until my game is tournament ready and I can compete at the highest level.
"I hope to be ready for the Masters, and I will continue to work hard preparing for Augusta."
Woods, a 14-times major champion, struggled badly in his first two events. Not only is his game in disarray, with some pundits believing he is suffering from the chipping 'yips', but his troublesome back is still posing problems.
He posted the highest score of his professional career, a mind-boggling 11-over-par 82, to miss the cut at the Phoenix Open in January.
He looked no better the following week at Torrey Pines where he was two over par after 11 holes when he decided to pull out because of tightness in his back, his third withdrawal in his last nine tournaments. Continued...

The Fight- Tianna
The clangs of our vicious swords echoed through the forest like an audible form of my fury. Clang, clang, clang, a vague echo of the church bells that had sounded as the coffin had been carried to the tomb. The anger helped: my muscles were slower to tire than my opponent's and soon he was lying on the ground, panting, transfixed by my sword as it hovered above his throat. Treacherous murderer, pathetic lowlife. My father, the ruler of this kingdom, was dead because this creature had wanted silver coins.
He begged for mercy. I chose not to hear him.

Fluorescence spectra measurement of olive oil and other vegetable oils.Kyriakidis NB, Skarkalis P.Agricultural University of Athens, Department of Food Science and Technology, Greece.AbstractFluorescence spectra of some common vegetable oils, including olive oil, olive residue oil, refined olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and cotton oil, were examined in their natural state, with a wavelength of 360 nm used as excitation radiation. All oils studied, except extra virgin olive oil, exhibited a strong fluorescence band at 430-450 nm. Extra virgin olive oil gave a different by interesting fluorescence spectrum, composed of 3 bands: one low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm, one strong at 525 nm, and one of medium intensity at 681 nm. The band at 681 nm was identified as the chlorophyll band. The band at 525 nm was at least partly derived from vitamin E. The low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm correlated with the absorption intensity at 232 and 270 nm of olive oil. The measurements of these fluorescence spectra were quick (about 5 min) and easy and could possibly be used for authentification of virgin olive oil.

Rio 2016 late swimming final plans come under fire
By Sam Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - Plans to hold late night swimming finals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics are "outrageous", says England swimming's head coach Jon Rudd, joining a growing campaign opposing the plan.
A final competition schedule has yet to be officially approved by the International Olympic Committee but they said on Friday that a proposal to hold later medal races to fit mainly with American television had been accepted.
The plans, which would see some finals start as late as 2200 local time to maximise audiences in the United States, have already drawn criticism from Australia Olympic Committee President John Coates, who said it would place an "unreasonable demand" on athletes.
Rudd has now added his voice to the 'Say No to Night Swimming' campaign that is gathering pace among competitors and coaches across the world.
"It's outrageous. The best way to describe it is disrespectful to athletes, disrespectful to the event and what the Olympics means," he told website swimvortex.com.
Rudd, who also mentors Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte, the Olympic 100 metres breaststroke champion, said there would be serious issues caused by the late night finals because swimmers would not finish until the early hours of the morning after they had warmed down and faced the media.
"If you are asking me is it the right decision and were the swimmers consulted and were the swimmers' performances thought about in that decision then, no," Rudd said.
"Now we'll get on with it but it's a shame that that is the decision we've come to as a sport. Continued...
