Nothing No More
By The Wasp Factory
I first heard The Wasp Factory being played on XFM earlier this year and their name stuck in my head as it's taken from the title of one of my favourite novels (by Iain Banks), so it seemed as good a reason as any to check out their latest single.
Bucking the current trend for angular, staccato melodies "Nothing No More" has far more in common with Britpop era bands such as The Bluetones, The Charlatans and Shed Seven. It's got a rich full sound with some rather wry lyrics; "you ain't too easy on my ears, but girl you're easy on the eye" is one of my favourites and brings to mind some former girlfriends of mine.
It's a song I could happily listen to over and over, which is in fact what I did whilst writing this review; my only reservation would be is that it's not quite punchy enough to really capture people's attention.

Ratings & Reviews
For his first directorial project in six years, Robert Towne selected a timeworn romantic-triangle yarn, injecting the material with subtlety and conviction. Tequila Sunrise stars Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell as two lifelong friends who, in true James Cagney-Pat O'Brien fashion, grow up on the opposite sides of the law. One is a retired drug dealer (at least he says he is), the other a "celebrity" cop. Both fall in love with gorgeous restaurateur Michelle Pfeiffer. Veteran movie buffs will enjoy spotting director Budd Boetticher as a judge, and will welcome the presence in the production credits of cinematographer Conrad Hall, who earned an Oscar nomination for his richly textured color camerawork. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Daisy's can mean DANGER!Mature
Chapter 3: Daisy's can mean danger!
#...Sponge Bob Square-Pants, Sponge Bob Square-Pants Spo-on-Gee Bo-ob Square-Pants!#
I flipped my phone, "wha?"
"It's 'excuse me' not 'wahh-rrr", Summ said snootily, I got up from my bed and rubbed my eyes.
"Summ is there a reason for you calling me?"
"Yes there is, as boyfriend number whatever is over and done with, I've got a spare ticket for the gig in The Pear tree".
"And you didn't tell me this yesterday?" wow Summ got the tickets from her latest ex, Goth Golddigga.
"Well I forgot, are you or are you not coming?"
"You know patience is a virtue, and of course I am going I wouldn't miss this for the world", okay I was getting way to over excited but the Veronicas are literally my favourite Band in the world.
"Ok so it's tonight, what are you going to wear?"
"Vain. Anyway jeans and a top, the usual".
"In you freaking dreams, you will either slut- up or not go", with that tone I knew Summ was being fully serious.
"Okay then but, Summ how did you get to keep the tickets?"
"I didn't. He called me last night and was all 'Hey can I have my tickets I left them under your bed' and I said NO obviously and then he was all 'but I got a date for tomorrow".
"Yes and? What else did you do?"
"I hung up and took my lesbian lover out to the gig", there was no way in hell that was ever enough for Summer. She breathed revenge.
"What else did you do Summ?"
"I called his mum up pretending to be another girl and said I was pregnant with his kid and wanted my baby's money he promised me", she said nonchalantly but I could hear the amusement in her voice.
"You're a sly, sly dog, Summer Cassidy".
"I prefer a Sly, Sly cat".
"Because Guys are dogs?"
"You got it, anyway got to go now."
"Bye", before I could say it I heard the beep signalling she had hung-up.
I threw my phone on the unmade bed and headed down the hall, I entered the last room at the end of the hallway. There was a rose bed with ornate white rails, the wardrobe was my favourite though.
My mother was all for fashion so looking at all the pastel and floral print blouses was very entertaining, I loved my mum with my whole being, I could remember looking at her as a young girl.
She was beautiful.
With her long dusty blonde hair and pink Alice bands, she also was very chic, I remember when she used to go to work with her hair twisted into a very hard chignon. And those paisley scarves immaculately knotted at her neck.
But my best memories were of her in the rose gardens.
My mother never held me though, she died 6 minutes before I was born.
How I know all these memories? They were usually in my dreams and then they'd fade out to the faceless man, well it was just the shadow of a body, but what girl had broad shoulders like that?
Well were talking of my mum not the freak in my dreams, she was a beautiful women but quite successful too, she was a PR for some music factory and got paid a lot for it, all she had to do was go and listen to music and decide who had that special 'OH!'
Apparently harder than it sounds, I traced my hands over her pillow case feeling its soft silk, no one has ever slept in this bed since her death, nothing changed in this room either, Marvin says he can still smell the rose perfume she used to wear.
My dad also died, and I was near him when it happened, it was when we were coming back from the hospital right after I was born, what was strange was after my mum died and I was expected to have some sort of heart disease but I didn't.
I was also not supposed to survive the car accident but I did, my dad was driving us back from the hospital and he crashed in 2 cars, and then the engine shattered killing another 5 people, I was found a mile away under an Oak tree.
Luckily I still had my hospital tag around my hand.
A tear dropped on to the silky pillow case, as I hugged the cloud I smelled in the rose smell of my mother, my dad apparently didn't smell.
When I asked Marvin what my dad smelled of he told me and I quote: 'Myra when I was a young man we had better thing to do other than sniffing other men', I didn't know he was so touchy about the subject.
I would've thought he was gay if I didn't find him on porno sites last year.
"I miss her too", I span around, well speak of the devil.
"What are you doing up so early?" I said wiping my tears away.
"I saw you sad, can you keep a secret sweet?"
"Follow me", he beckoned me to follow, I did.
"Where are we going?"
"To my room", I've been in Marvin's suite so few times, but when I did it always stupefied me, it was like a library rather than a room, but at the end there was a door hidden by a red curtain, and that was his room.
I never went in there, it was locked by a key, so no matter how hard I tried, and I just couldn't get in.
We walked through the big doors, and at the end concealed by a rack of book was the curtain that disconnected me from the books to the bedroom.
As we entered I had to stifle the gasp which fought its way up to my mouth, it was one of those rooms which held power in them, like you expected them to have secrets.
"I know you've never been in here but don't gawk at it like it the Buckingham palace", he said cockily.
"Whatever, what did you want to show me?"
He came to his bed and leaned in to grab something from under it, it was one of those old 60's suitcases full of stickers.
"I know by now you're wondering about the… coincidences of your life", he opened the suitcase, it was filled of pictures, and one of those old books, I swear one of them was the Bible.
"What of them?" he couldn't be trying to tell me that…
"I did some research on you, not that kind of research, Myra you're not Damien Omen! For god's sake!" he said lovingly
"I know but…"
"You didn't do this to me", he didn't sound certain, and he didn't even meet my eyes.
"Yes I did", I whispered.
Slowly I backed away from him, I left his room, I left his library, I left the hallway, I left the house, and I left my car.
I was deep into the daisy field when I realised he didn't once call me back, he didn't once stop me, he might have just wanted me to know I was the reason.
No he couldn't have this is Marvin were talking about, he couldn't even hurt a fly.
But what –
No what's or but's!
He didn't mean anything end of. Period.
Gently resting on to the daisy field I let my hair down, not that there was much to let down anyway, it was too short, but that's how I liked it, straight cut, short easy to handle, I'd want to grow it, gives me something to care about.
I'll just ruin it though.
Shut up.
I plucked one of the daisy's, I was beautiful all it petals colourful with a creamy beige-ish white, its centre and strong yellow, rolling around onto my stomach investigating the innocently designed flower.
Gosh how can I be so amazed by a little flower?
Laughing I tried to put the flower down but I didn't want to, something about it was special, I felt its beautiful aura, it was strangely innocent I instantly felt bad for picking it.
Everything had an aura, even if was technically not alive, my bed had a satisfying aura, pictures had auras of remembrance, when I was a little girl I learn word like this:
Sofas: comfortable
Food: justifying
And so on, Marvin called it a game and would laugh when I got mixed up and called chocolate self-satisfying.
I crossed my eyes so my vision was blurred in to a yellow, white and green hue, it was still beautiful, I rolled onto my back, stared up at the clear blue sky, I stared at the sky willing a cloud to appear, slowly a white gradually became thicker until it was a decent sized cloud.
I stopped my concentration on the cloud, I lied back looking at the prefect picture, and if I had a camera I would have snapped all the film, but I didn't.
The field was beautiful (it was behind the house, walk a bit, past the gardens and a shallow forest) though it was more of a clearing than a field, it was small, at the end of the clearing the forest grew again and the daisy's stopped appearing randomly,
Something caught my eye. There at the edge was a shadow. The same shape she saw at the lake, just staring at me, still, non-moving, rigid.
Something snapped inside of me, there was someone just staring at me like I was entertaining following me like I wanted to be watched, "hey is it fun watching me?"
It didn't respond but I knew it heard me, it made a slight gesture with its head, I got up I made my way to the shadow.
It stood still waiting, still rigid, I was half way across the field, when it suddenly moved, they leaned against the nearby tree, there face was nearly in the sun but not completely, and there face wasn't covered in shadow now making me feel a bit better.
Noticing their stance I realized that they were quite male and big, for one whoever they were, didn't have boobs, and was quite muscular, but then I looked at his face and gasped.
It reminded me of the person in my dreams, white, clear porcelain skin gleamed in the sun.
I did the same thing I did in my dreams I ran, I turned around and ran away, "STOP!"
It was like someone was in pain, I stopped maybe I was seeing things before.
Normal People don't have skin like that!
With that last though I ran back to the house, whoever they were could carry on being hurt I don't give a damn! They're frickin' EVIL!
I was close to the door when I heard the music.
Put Death on Defence was on LOUD like ultra loud. Like club loud.
I shook the negative energy and walked through the secret door, it was hidden between a fountain and a stone bench under the willow tree, as I walked through I saw the familiar steps. They led me to the room next to my parents.
Slowly I opened the door, the door was I stepped out the door watching out not to hit my head on the fireplace, I closed the door behind me, when the click sounded I walked out the door.
"MYRA DARLING WHERE AGGH-RRRR YOU" Summ shouted at the top of her lungs in a sing song voice.
"HERE SWEETHEART" I sang back.
The music suddenly stopped and Summ's head cracked out my door, she peered at me suspiciously, her blonde hair falling in front of her eyes making her look silly.
"Goth girl! Stop that" – Marvin's booming voice covered the hallways.
"Marvin! Oh how I miss your annoying ass", Summ said sarcastically.
"You guys give me headaches!"
"GOOD, now let me just get my keys and let this show go on the road
Summer left down the hall, so I was left alone in the doorway of my room listening to hard core rock, I let the tears just roll down, they tumbled down my cheeks, one at a time left to right to left to right…I always was named and shamed in well everywhere, but I just can't explain what I felt right now, it was like my body took on instinct and didn't use my brain, "summer I'm getting changed, 'kay?"
"You do that, la-di-da did you see my keys?" I felt a ball go up my throat and chains twist around my lungs, they slithered like snakes, it took all my efforts not to sound like I'm crying, Summ could spot my tears from 5 miles away.
"No let me 'slut up'", I called out in fake cheerfulness.
"Okey dokey", she sang.
"What! Myra get down here now, what is it with Goths and sluttin' up? Down got to the DARKNESS!, Fight it Myra. FIGHT"
I could hear Summ's laughs, joyous and wonderful, Marvin was funny but this time I didn't laugh.

Ah, ok. Thanks Wayne and Ron. Yeah, for efficiency I think we'll need a MRM no matter what. I suppose we could simply mirror most of the plugins to the company repository that we think we'll need. But that could be a major pain whenever someone wants to use another plugin that they have to go through whoever to get it downloaded to the company repository before they can actually use it.

They happen to be Lakshmi Manchu and Singer Smitha. Both these beautiful dusky sirens have enjoyed great patronage by cinema audiences for various reasons, and they enjoy lot of fan attention for their beauty even now. However, the way these two hot married ladies responded after Jagan's bail
'Congrats Ysrcp. Great win!! Jagan out on bail :)', tweeted Lakshmi Manchu, immediately when the news of Jagan's bail broke out.
Many analysts are shocked to hear what that 'win' she is talking about is. Anyway, Lakshmi happens to be relative of Jagan through Vishnu's wife Veronica, so one can understand she will anyway support 'fan' only.
It is singer Smitha's tweet that shocked netizens once again.
'God please Save Andhra Pradesh. What's going on??? Edo sapam laaga undi. Really, emi Papam chesam?', tweeted Smitha, an hour after YS Jagan is granted bail. So what is her tweet all about? Some say she is talking about piracy issue of Attarintiki Daredi.
These two tweets are anyway now widely being discussed by fans.

India and Pakistan, on the brink of nuclear war less than two years ago, agreed yesterday to hold peace talks on Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan region which has poisoned their relations for more than half a century.
The deal was described as "historic" by Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, after a meeting in Islamabad on Monday with the Indian Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, who was visiting Pakistan for the first time in nearly five years. Talks will begin next month between senior diplomats.
In a joint declaration, Gen eral Musharraf pledged not to permit his country to be used as a haven for terrorism, and Mr Vajpayee promised to seek a solution to the Kashmir dispute. Gone were the usual Pakistani denials that it supports Muslim militants fighting Indian rule in the divided territory, and Indian demands that cross-border infiltration stop before a dialogue can begin.
Any reduction of tension in south Asia will be welcome in a world preoccupied with terrorism, the aftermath of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons - for which Pakistan is accused of bearing major responsibility. General Musharraf was seen as a crucial ally by Washington immediately after the September 2001 attacks on Washington and New York, when he risked domestic outrage to support the US-led invasion of Afghanistan. But since then the Bush administration has become disenchanted by evidence of Pakistan sharing nuclear and missile technology with Iran and North Korea - two of the three members of George Bush's "axis of evil" - and Delhi's claims that Islamabad is an active supporter of terrorism on Indian territory.
Isolated internationally and under threat at home, where he has escaped two assassination attempts in the past month, General Musharraf was effusive about the rapprochement with India. Most details of the negotiations have yet to be worked out, but the Pakistani leader said yesterday: "History has been made. This is a ... good beginning." He praised Mr Vajpayee's vision and statesmanship, a sharp contrast to the tension of 2002, when more than a million men were deployed along the border and the Indian leader spoke of the need for "a decisive battle". General Musharraf promised to meet the threat with "full force".
Militants on both sides could threaten any accord, however. The negotiations were called a "betrayal" by Amanullah Khan, chairman of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front, which seeks independence. Syed Salahuddin, head of Hezb-ul Mujahedin, the main Muslim militant group fighting in Kashmir, said operations would continue until India released jailed Kashmiri leaders and withdrew its troops to barracks.
Sceptics will point to the shortlived history of previous reconciliations. In 2001 there was similar talk of a breakthrough after the two leaders met in the Indian city of Agra, only for hopes of improved relations to evaporate almost immediately. Diplomats argue that the previous meeting was almost impromptu, whereas the latest deal has been preceded by careful preparation and a series of goodwill gestures, including a ceasefire in Kashmir which has held for several weeks.

Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely stay in Paris. The apartment was ideal and we thoroughly enjoyed the area. Please thank Thomas and Nicky for meeting us and explaining everything. Will definitely be back in the future.
A perfect apartment for a couple! We loved our time here and would happily return. Charming, comfortable, with all the amenities you need. The bed was comfortable, the windows were big and bright and the shower was oversized and very clean. We also loved the nearby outdoor market and found everything we could ever want within a short distance. Public transportation is easy from this location making it very easy to navigate the city. But just sitting in the apartment and taking in the street life while drinking a glass of wine was sublime.
I rate this apartment as 5 stars. We loved it and were very comfortable.
Wonderful apartment - much better than staying in a hotel room. Clean and comfortable. Nothing too much for the friendly agent. Comfy bed which is so important. Great base to visit Paris. Will recommend to friends!
3 starts = it was average. Would I stay there again? First I would look at other options and probably go back to AirBnB, but if there was nothing else I would stay there again, that's fine (my spouse would probably disagree). It's in a good location. It's a studio, so it's one room, but it's pretty big with two windows providing a lot of light. There's a small kitchen area (didn't use) and a washer (didn't use). There's a TV (didn't use) and fast WiFi (did use that one). There's a decent size table in the room, with two chairs. Closet space is limited; i.e. there are closets but most space is taken up by stuff. Bathroom is small - just about right for one person. Towel warmer in the bathroom is a big plus.
Why 3 starts?
None of these are big issues by itself, but they accumulated and together became a little annoying... No soap. No toilet paper. Clogged shower (I mean, really clogged where water was barely draining). I didn't like the cash deposit requirement that was mentioned in a long email sent after booking, which I initially missed (the deposit part). Check-in could have been handled a lot better since there was someone with a key in the next building. Turnaround on communication with the owner takes a few hours (via email). On arrival you are asked to call contacts provided, but if you don't have a cell phone you are out of luck. Towels and bed linens had a slight mildew smell - just enough to notice, and it went away after a day (or we got used to it).
There is insufficient hot water fir one person to have a shower long enough to wash and condition your haur without it going cold. The shower outlet blocked and needed cleaning out (owner admitted it happens every two weeks or so - so why isn't it part of their cleaning programme between stays?), the television is so small you can't see it from the bed and is really complicated to work, the cupboards are stuffed full of owners things in untidy disarray and the whole place needs a really good clean.
Ideal location in Marais. The apartment is small, but had adequate room and a kitchen that we use for several meals. Though small, it was comfortable and the location was ideal for seeing the sights. Found some great bakeries and shops close by. One morning, there was an opening air market in the square nearby where we purchased items for some meals. The apartment could be updated, but again it was adequate for what we needed. Agnes and Thomas were responsive to texts.
Tomas' apartment was great and everything was just as described and represented in the pictures. The bed was comfortable, the washer worked great, and the washroom and shower were good (good pressure, hot water). The TV was a little difficult to figure out but Tomas provided instructions to this and everything else in the apartment. The location was great and very close to the Hotel de Ville metro station and about a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame. There are lots of restaurants and a grocery store nearby. The only negative comment I would make is that it was really noisy due to the café across the street (especially on a Saturday night when it was still really boisterous at 2:30am) but this is no reflection on the apartment itself. Key pickup was straight forward as was check out and they worked with my schedule. The communication beforehand and during my 3 night stay was also really good and they were highly responsive.
This stylish studio is located in the historic and much in demand part of Paris called 'Le Marais' is in the very heart of Paris. Metro is very close: Hotel de Ville stop or St Paul stop on the key tourist metro line 1 (for the Louvre, Champs Elysées etc.).
The Marais is the most vibrant and cosmopolitan area of Paris. All facilities at your doorstep: Boutiques, restaurants and cafes, many of which are open seven days a week. Within short walking distance are Notre Dame, Hotel de Ville, the Pompidou Centre, Picasso Museum, and Place des Vosges.

Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet SS than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid. The INFINITI Q50 Hybrid will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet SS.
With the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Chevrolet SS, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Chevrolet SS or the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid, it's going to cost you about the same. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Chevrolet SS will cost more in transportation costs than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.
Since the Chevrolet SS is much wider than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet SS, which is slightly longer than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Chevrolet SS does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet SS has a much more powerful engine than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Chevrolet SS and the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the Chevrolet SS will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.
The basic warranty of the Chevrolet SS is not as nearly as extensive as that of the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.

Magnesium alloys have the attractive combination of lightweight and strength. An understanding of solidification microstructures in these materials is important. An accurate means of quantifying microstructure in 3D is extremely important. In this study, we have used serial polishing and synchrotron-based x-ray tomography technique as a means of 3D characterization of the solidified microstructures of magnesium-based alloys. These models were also used to conduct quantitative analysis in 3D. The phase fraction and morphologies of intermetallics and α-Mg matrix phase were obtained. The phase fractions of β-Mg17Al12 and Al–Mn intermetallics are consistent with measurements in the literature and calculations based on the Scheil–Gulliver solidification model. Our 3D reconstructions also show that the dendrite morphology has sixfold symmetry. The results of 3D microstructural characterization and analysis will enable a comprehensive understanding of solidification variables, microstructure, and properties.
KeywordsSolidification Magnesium alloys Three-dimensional characterization Synchrotron-based x-ray tomography Serial sectioning
Magnesium alloys are of interest as structural materials due to their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio [1]. These alloys are also beginning to find use as biocompatible implant materials [2, 3, 4, 5]. Dendritic microstructures are observed in a wide range of solidification processes, and play a vital role in determining the properties of the material [6, 7, 8]. A limited number of studies have focused on the evolution of solidification patterns and preferred crystallographic orientations [9, 10, 11]. To date, a few studies on dendritic microstructures in magnesium alloys have been carried out [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. In order to develop accurate anisotropic models for the solid–liquid (S/L) interface in hexagonal close-packed alloys, quantitative experimental characterization in three dimensions needs to be carried out. A significant fraction of commercial magnesium alloys is based on hypoeutectic Mg–Al alloys with Al concentration in the range of 3–9 wt.%. These alloys exhibit a mixture of primary α-Mg dendrites surrounded by a eutectic network eutectic with Mg–Al intermetallic precipitates. Thus, understanding and quantifying the solidified microstructural features of Mg-rich alloys in binary Mg–Al binary and other multi-component systems are crucial. Furthermore, a fundamental understanding of the microstructures of materials in three dimensions (3D) is necessary to accurately model the evolution and formation of their microstructures.
The objective of the present study is to investigate the morphologies and phase fraction of microstructures of Mg–9Al alloy processed by directional solidification and a commercial AZ91D alloy made by high-pressure die casting (HPDC). A combination of metallographic serial sectioning and synchrotron-based x-ray phase-contrast tomography techniques were used to visualize and quantify the volume fraction of microstructures in 3D.

In order to carry out serial sectioning experiments, the Mg–9 wt.% Al samples were mounted and polished using an automatic polisher to obtain a reproducible and controlled removal rate. The serial sectioning procedure was as follows. A square region of interest was selected from the sample by indenting four equally spaced fiducial marks using a Vickers pyramidal indenter. In general, selecting the region of interest is a very subjective step in the 3D reconstruction process. In this study, the size of the microstructural region of interest was taken as approximately 500 × 400 μm, and a depth of approximately 150 μm. Fiducial marks were placed on the sample to define the region of interest, to measure the material loss during serial sectioning, and to align the indentations during reconstruction. This method of quantifying the material removal has been proven to be quite effective because the cross sections of the indentations are nearly square, making it relatively simple to measure the length of the diagonals [18, 19]. The approximate depth (h) of the indentation was determined by the following equation: h = D/2 tan(θ/2), where D is the average of the indentation diagonals (D1 and D2) on a 2D projection, and θ is the angle between the two diagonals.

Synchrotron-Based X-Ray Computed Tomography
X-ray microtomography measurements were carried out at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (beamline 2-BM) which offers near-video-rate acquisition of tomographic data at micrometer spatial resolution [20]. An x-ray energy of ~30 keV provided the combination of high penetration ability and excellent phase contrast for 2 mm × 2 mm × 2 mm volume of Mg–9 wt.% Al as-solidified and AZ91D specimens. A CdWO4 scintillator screen was used to convert the x-rays to visible light, and acquired with a 2048 × 2048 pixel CoolSnap K4 CCD camera. Typical exposure times ranging between 80 and 200 ms per projection were used. A resolution of 1.4 μm/voxel was obtained. A projection was acquired every 1/8°. Including the readout time and disk input/output, the tomography was completed in about 20 min. The 2D projections were reconstructed in 3D using a filtered-back-projection algorithm.
After x-ray tomography, all the images were segmented to black and white images. To reconstruct the 3D solid for visualization, the sections were aligned and stacked in Matlab, and then the images were segmented using conventional image analysis software (ImageJ, Bethesda, MD). Separate gray scale values were assigned to each phase, e.g., α-Mg dendrite matrix phase, β-Mg17Al12 eutectic, Al–Mn intermetallics, and the porosity. The 3D microstructures were digitally reconstructed using image reconstruction software Mimics (Materialise, Ann Arbor, MI), which was also use for quantitative analysis of the 3D volumetric data.
Results and Discussion
Volume fractions of phase in Mg–9Al and AZ91D alloys, along with comparison with literature data
In conclusion, we successfully used the combined method of serial-sectioning and synchrotron-based x-ray computed tomography to characterize and quantify microstructures of Mg–9Al and AZ91D in three-dimensions. The phase fraction and morphologies of intermetallics and α-Mg matrix phase were obtained. The phase fractions of β-Mg17Al12 and Al–Mn intermetallics are consistent with measurements in the literature and calculations based on the Scheil–Gulliver solidification model. Our 3D reconstructions also show that the dendrite morphology has sixfold symmetry. More generally, these quantitative results of phase fraction and shapes should be used in validating phase-field modeling and as an input in microstructure-based finite element analysis to better understand the structure–property relationships in these materials.

Britain faces an "accelerating epidemic" of childhood diabetes, with diagnosis in under-fives set to double by 2020, researchers report today.
A review of trends in 17 countries in Europe shows that the rise is so rapid that environmental changes must lie behind it. Doctors believe these include the increase in Caesareans, reduced exposure to infections in early childhood and bottle feeding.
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder of the immune system in which the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are destroyed. Insulin is an essential hormone without which the body cannot use glucose (sugar) and diabetics require daily injections of insulin to control their blood sugar levels.
Researchers analysed trends from 20 European centres and identified 94,000 cases of Type 1 diabetes in children aged under 15 in 2005. Extrapolating the rate of growth from 1989 to 2003, they estimate the total will grow by 70 per cent to 160,000 by 2020.
In the under-fives, the growth is even more rapid – from 3,530 to 7,142, an increase of 102 per cent.
Chris Patterson, from the Queen's University, Belfast, who led the study published in The Lancet, said hypotheses had been advanced to explain the increase in diagnosis but none had been proved: "We don't have any certain explanation of what is going on. But a few studies have given pointers.
"Exposure to infections in early life has been associated with a reduced risk of diabetes. Some studies have suggested that if you send your children to pre-school groups [where they are more likely to get infections from other children] they have a lower risk. The notion is that it is good to get the immune system primed early in life. If it is not exercised early, it could have an adverse reaction later to some exposure we don't know about."
Studies have indicated a 20 per cent higher risk of Type 1 diabetes in children born by Caesarean, probably because babies delivered vaginally collect microbes from the birth canal that are important to the development of their immune systems.
"Kids born by Caesarean have altered microbes in their gut – and what happens in the gut is important in the development of the immune system," Dr Patterson said.
Rapid weight gain after birth is linked with a higher risk of Type 1 diabetes and is more often seen in bottle-fed babies. Breast feeding is believed to be protective. For unknown reasons, older mothers are also thought to be at higher risk of having babies who will develop the condition.
The authors said that the earlier the condition starts in an individual, the more likely they are to develop complications in later life, such as kidney and circulatory problems, leading to renal failure, amputations and blindness.
In Britain, the number of under-15s with Type 1 diabetes is predicted to rise from 3,527 in 2005 to 5,185 in 2020. The number of cases in under-fives is projected to rise from 701 to 1561.

Market Leader Comcast to Purchase 2nd Place Time Warner Cable for $45.2B
Jason Mick

Why compete when you can just merge and name you own prices?
Comcast Corp. (
) is expected to on Thursday officially announce a mind-blowing deal, which would mark the biggest consolidation in over a decade in
the cable television
and broadband internet market, if allowed. Comcast's bid will reportedly slot in at $159 USD per share of Time Warner Cable (
) stock, making the deal worth just over $45 billion.
, and
The New York Times
are all reporting that the deal will be announced tomorrow. And most tellingly, NBC News -- whose parent company is owned by Comcast --
also is reporting
the deal will become official on Thursday.
The deal would create a market behemoth, merging together the first and second place competitors in both the TV and broadband internet markets.
Comcast has roughly a 25 percent share of the broadband market; TWC controls around 12 percent of the market [
]. Comcast currently controls roughly 19 percent of subscription cable TV market; TWC controls around 9 percent of it. Together the pair would control roughly a third (37 percent of broadband; 28 percent of cable TV) of two vital U.S. communications markets.
On a local scale the deal would be a massive win for Comcast and a massive loss for consumers, who would see scarce competition (Time Warner Cable vs. Comcast) reduced to none.
In all likelihood the deal will face lawsuits from the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the
U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) on antitrust grounds.
The Motley Fool
writer Anders Byland
wrote about this possibility
back in November 2013, when the bid was just a rumor. He titled his piece "The Time Warner and Comcast Merger Can't Happen. Here's Why."
In it he writes:
I would advise you not to hold your breath awaiting this business combination. Here's why.
Having Time Warner join forces with Comcast would create a massive cable operator. I mean an industry giant of epic proportions. Comcast serves nearly 22 million video subscribers, and Time Warner is No. 2 in the cable TV industry, with more than $11 million customers. The third-largest cable service provider is Cox Communications, with just 5.4 million households to its name.
You see the problem, right? In a total TV service market of 116 million households, including satellite subscribers and rabbit-ear antennae, Comcast wants to grow its market share from 19% to 28% in one fell swoop.
I don't think our regulatory bodies are going to like that idea.
Comcast's deal -- which it plans to do with all stock and no cash -- is slightly less than than the $160 USD/share price that TWC customers were targeting. But it's much better than $133 USD/share from Charter Communications Inc. (
), an offer which TWC
in mid-January. That deal would have perhaps stood more of a chance with regulators, though, given that Charter actually has fewer subscribers than TWC (or Comcast).
[Image Source: Reuters]
Unless federal regulators are asleep, this deal will almost certainly face far stiffer opposition. Comcast isn't exactly best friends with the FCC, which will likely work against it. The broadband provider famously
fought to kill federal regulators' net neutrality rules
in an appeals court.
Sources close to Comcast say it will divest 3 million cable subscribers (or about a tenth of the combined company's subscriptions). That's a small gesture, but it's probably not even on par with the measures AT&T, Inc. (
) was
willing to concede
to had the DOJ and FCC
agreed to allow it eliminate/gobble up
its competitor T-Mobile USA (a Deutsche Telekom AG (
) subsidiary) in a similar deal. And we all know
how that story ended

This is where it gets difficultMature
What's in a name - that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
string of letters defining everything one is?
My name is Sorcha Roisin Hannigan
and I'm not entirely sure who she is, yet.
Introducing myself to people is always easy-
'oh that's a funny name!'
'wait - can you repeat that?'
Sorcha, see: Sor-S-ha,
s o r c h a
and then the inevitable question comes,
and it puts a feeling of terrible dread in my stomach,
and my words cling together and become stuttery and wrong,
and it becomes too much when -
'so, tell me a little bit about yourself'
I have nothing to say.
I can ride a horse.
I play piano.
I draw beautiful inspiring pieces of art.
I can solve a rubix cube in 0.4 seconds.
My hands do this really weird thing where-
I have nothing to say.
I can do nothing extraordinary,
My voice is not angelic, I cannot dance like Darcy Bussel,
I cannot say the alphabet backwards,
nor can I solve the Da Vinci Code.
I read Dante and Milton and pretend to understand the language,
translating Chaucer has been fun -
but I am no lingusit.
I am not profound,
I am not inspiring nor inspired.
at any other age I suppose one would dub what I am experiencing a midlife crisis
a loss of identity -
but the issue really
is that that lost identity was never there.
Sorcha Roisin Hannigan has no identity

When you discount the necessary flacking that Panetta has to do for Obama, you realize how much danger this country is in.
//Perhaps I hope for too much. Perhaps Leon Panetta's being half-moral is better than nothing at all. And in defense of Panetta, he did go on O'Reilly. He knew that wouldn't be fun. And you can't expect the likes of Valerie Jarrett or Susan Rice to step forward. At least Panetta is out there — and before the election. I am grateful to him for that.
But like many people, I am fearful, fearful that our great country has been mortally wounded during the last six years. We need Panetta, and others, to say more, much more. We need them to hold their collective noses, expose all the nauseating details of this administration and speak in defense of America because it is America itself that has been under assault by its own executive branch. What could be worse than that?//

University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
PURPOSE:Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has recently been developed as a new tool in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer and other malignancies. Initial results have been reported from centers with extensive experience with EBUS. This study was performed to describe the results from a single center recently beginning EBUS procedures.
METHODS:Consecutive patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the diagnosis and staging of known or suspected malignancy as well as undiagnosed mediastinal/hilar adenopathy from February 2007 to April 2008 were included in this study. A positive biopsy result was considered a true positive. True negative and false negative biopsy results were based on surgical biopsies, additional imaging, and radiographic follow-up. Inadequate specimens were considered false negatives.
RESULTS:55 patients underwent EBUS-TBNA. Most patients had known or suspected lung cancer (N=34). 14 patients had suspected metastatic disease from other solid tumors or lymphoma. 7 patients had undiagnosed adenopathy from possible nonmalignant etiologies. Biopsies were obtained from stations 7 (N=24), 4R (N=21), 4 L (N=3), 10L (N=4), 10R (N=5), and 2R (N=1). Of the 60 sampled lymph nodes, 7% were less than 1 cm, 55% were 1.0–1.9 cm, 23% were 2.0–2.9 cm, and 15% were 3 cm or larger. Three parenchymal masses that were adjacent to a bronchus were also biopsied via EBUS-TBNA. Sensitivity was 87%, specificity was 100%, positive predictive value was 100%, and negative predictive value was 71%. Of the 6 false negative results, 5 were due to inadequate specimens.
CONCLUSION:EBUS-TBNA had a high sensitivity for establishing a diagnosis of malignancy and staging patients with lung cancer. Results from this study are consistent with that reported from centers with extensive experience with EBUS. The yield from EBUS-guided TBNA is higher than the historical yield of blind TBNA performed at our institution.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:EBUS-TBNA is highly effective in mediastinal and hilar node sampling to evaluate the etiolgy for intrathoracic adenopathy and provide staging for patients with lung cancer.

text: NEW YORK (AP) -- Higher fuel prices have been an elixir this year for Big Oil, covering problems that would have been much more noticeable during leaner times.A 40 percent rise in oil prices boosted ConocoPhillips' adjusted earnings in the third quarter, even though production fell as it shed $8 billion of assets since 2010. BP's profits doubled in the same July-September period even though it still faces hundreds of lawsuits stemming from last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill.The largest oil company, Exxon Mobil Corp., is up next Thursday. Analysts are expecting another mammoth quarter for Exxon, given the rise in oil prices. But they still wonder about its $29 billion acquisition of natural gas producer XTO Energy.Natural gas prices are a third of what they were in 2008, and Exxon's increasing reliance on the natural gas business has so far been a weakness for the company.Exxon said it made the decision based on long-term assumptions about an increasing shift in the U.S. from coal to natural gas. Still, analysts want to know how the Irving, Texas company plans to increase oil production, which has been more profitable, and how quickly it can do it.WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Analysts want to know which oil fields Exxon is investing in. They also will want to see how Exxon is managing its U.S. natural gas fields as prices remain flat.WHY IT MATTERS: Exxon is the world's largest publicly owned oil company. Its quarterly financial report provides an intimate look into global energy markets.WHAT'S EXPECTED: Analysts expect earnings of $2.12 per share on revenue of $118.5 billion, according to FactSet.LAST YEAR'S QUARTER: Exxon earned $7.35 billion, or $1.44 per share, on revenue of $95.3 billion for the same July-September quarter last year.

I am 9wks out. My left breast is soft and dropped and my right is getting there (was the smaller side). I notice that when I do compression exercises and push them together that the muscle under the right kinda pulls back towards underarm more and every now and then I get a sharp pain in underarm or from breast to underarm...Could the muscle just still be tight or is this something I need to be concerned with? I am out of town (8hrs.) from my surgeon. The right also fluffed all the way yet
Muscle Pulling and Pain After Breast Augmentation
Doctor Answers 1
Muscle pulling and tight pain after breast implantation
You may want to send your surgeon a picture and ask for their advice. Howver, it is most likely due to inadequate soft tissue relaxation. performing exercise could help but your muscle may also be incompletley released. It is still early to consider any reivsion.

text: Question for Dr Emma - "Dental Grant Availability" Dental Health By Dr. Emma 10 August 2012 Q&A With Dr Emma Hi Dr Emma. I'm in my 40's and my teeth are in poor condition, unsightly & painful. Two years ago, a financially well off friend was given a $5,000 grant to have non-urgent work done on her teeth due to being deficient in vitamin D. Although my own tests showed I was 'extremely' vitamin D deficient, I was told I was not eligible by a different doctor. Once this troublesome molar is removed I will only have my front teeth to chew food. I'd like to ask if this program still exists? And keen to know whether or not growing up on generic watery milk powder provided me with enough calcium? (Does it help to mention I have somewhat degenerative osteo arthritis in my bones?) Thanks Dr Emma. Kezz from Mornington Peninsular, VIC. Dear Kezz, It sounds like you are talking about the Medicare Chronic Disease Dental Scheme (CDDS). It is still in existence, but not all dentists choose to participate. The idea behind the scheme is to provide dental care to people who are chronically ill and have complex care needs, where their poor oral health is having an impact on their general health. A good example of this is the link between untreated periodontal (gum) disease and diabetes. It is at the discretion of the patient's medical doctor as to whether or not their general health is being impacted by their oral health. It is not exactly a grant, but rather up to $4,250 of costs are claimable through Medicare by the patient over 2 consecutive calendar years. A fee schedule has been set out by Medicare, but dentists are not required to limit their fees to follow it. What do I mean by that? Let's say, hypothetically, that a private dentist usually charges $100 for a scale and clean, but the Medicare CDDS rebate is $68.85. The dentist may choose to bulk bill for $68.85, in which case there will be no out of pocket cost to the patient. However, the dentist may charge his/her usual fee, which would leave the patient with a $31.15 "gap" to pay. The dentist is also allowed to require payment up front from the patient, who then has to claim back their rebate from Medicare. Not all procedures and item codes are covered by the scheme. More complex treatment like dental implants, or cosmetic treatment (like whitening) is not included. My personal opinion of the scheme is that while well intentioned, it should have been targeted at people who could otherwise not afford dental care. There is no means testing for eligibility, which is why the financial status of your friend didn't matter. As for your own eligibility, it is up to your medical doctor to determine whether or not your dental needs are making your medical condition worse. As for your concerns about the effect your early diet may have had on your teeth, it's outside the realm of dentistry. The right person to answer your question would be a dietician.
