The Great Republic by the Master Historians
The Missouri Compromise
Bancroft, Hubert H.
[A consideration of this important subject calls for some preliminary review of the status of slavery in America, of the legislation in regard to it, and of the public feeling concerning it. We have already made several references to the condition of this institution in the colonial period. At the outbreak of the Revolution slavery existed in all the thirteen colonies. Though the fact of its existence was not always recognized by the English government, yet the ministry had been during colonial times steadily in favor of the slavetrade, and vetoed every effort of the colonies to prevent the importation of slaves.
The Quakers were the first to agitate the question of slavery from a moral point of view. By the end of the seventeenth century they had begun to instruct the slaves in religion, and to protest against their importation. During the eighteenth century the emancipation of slaves had become an active measure of the Quakers as a society, not of individuals only, as in other sects. The negro, who had long been classed with domestic animals, now began to be looked upon as a man. Yet no attack upon slavery where it existed was thought of. It was supposed that by stopping the importation of slaves the institution would gradually disappear. At the outbreak of the Revolution there were about half a million slaves in the country. (In 1790 there were 697, 897 slaves, of whom 40,370 were held in the Northern States.) The increase of the free population was greater than that of the slave, and it was erroneously argued that the importance of the institution would steadily diminish. Antislavery sentiment was not confined to the North, but even made its appearance in the South, while the political aspect of the question of slavery was confined to importation. The Congress of 1774 adopted resolutions opposed to importation, and in 1776 this prohibition was repeated without opposition. The first step in the opposite direction was made when the passage decrying slave-importation was stricken from the Declaration of Independence.
During the Revolutionary War opinions in favor of emancipation grew in strength in the North, the abolition societies of Pennsylvania became more energetic, and similar societies were founded in the other States. Even in Virginia, in 1788, the importation of slaves was forbidden, and steps were taken in favor of gradual emancipation. But in the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention the Southern delegates showed very clearly that they did not expect or desire any rapid vanishment of the institution. There were two questions to be considered,-the status of the slaves in taxation, and their status in representation. The first of these was decided, by the casting vote of New Jersey, in favor of the exemption of slaves from taxation. The second was decided, in accordance with a compromise measure proposed by Wilson of Pennsylvania, by reckoning five slaves as equal to three freemen in representation. The compromise, as passed, prohibited Congress from forbidding the importation of slaves until 1808. In the debates on these measures a strong division of opinion appeared, but it was based solely on the political and financial interests of the two sections, not on any idea of the morality or immorality of human slavery. In 1787 an act was adopted prohibiting slavery in the territory northwest of the Ohio, but providing for the surrender of fugitive slaves from that territory. The Constitution also contained a provision to the effect that any person lawfully bound to "service or labor" in any State, and fleeing to another State, should be delivered up on demand. However it appeared then, it has since become painfully evident that the slave-holding interest gained decided victories in the formation of the Constitution, and placed the institution of slavery on a solid basis from which it would not easily be overthrown.
In 1789 North Carolina, and in 1802 Georgia, ceded their western territory to the United States, with the proviso that no action should be taken prohibitory of slavery in this territory. The cessions were accepted with this proviso. This was the first step towards extending the dominion of slavery. In 1793 a fugitive-slave law was passed by Congress, which ordered the return of a slave from any State or Territory to which he had fled. A case occurred under this law in 1797. Four North Carolina slaves had been freed by their masters. Being condemned under a State law to be sold again, they fled to Philadelphia. They were here seized as fugitive slaves, and, though a petition in their favor was presented to Congress, its consideration was rejected by a vote of fifty to thirty-three. A petition from these negroes was brought before Congress three years later, with the same result, and petitions in regard to slavery from the Quakers of Pennsylvania were similarly refused a hearing.
On January 1, 1808, the first day on which Congress had a right to act upon it, a bill forbidding the importation of slaves was passed unanimously. Yet its effect was not prohibitory, since the smuggling of slaves immediately took the place of their open importation. Efforts were made to break up this illicit trade, but with little effect, it being estimated by southern members that from thirteen thousand to fifteen thousand slaves were annually smuggled into the country. In 1819 Congress declared the slave-trade to be piracy, though none of its participants seem to have been condemned as pirates.
That the number of slaves was rapidly increasing became very evident, and colonization-schemes were proposed to dispose of free negroes and illegally- imported slaves. It was supposed that by this method some amelioration of slavery might be produced, though it was not clear what useful effect could result.
There had by this time arisen a decided distinction between the industrial systems of the two sections of the country. The North had grown more and more distinctively commercial and manufacturing, the South more and more agricultural. In the one slavery became destitute of utility; in the other it appeared to be absolutely essential. The cotton-gin, invented by Whitney in 1793, made cotton-raising the special industry of the South, the cultivation of this staple at once receiving a vigorous impulse. Slave labor, which had begun to grow highly unsatisfactory, at once advanced in importance, and the demand for slaves rapidly increased. Meanwhile, the representation of the Northern States in Congress was steadily outnumbering that of the South. In 1790 the North had thirty-eight representatives to the South's thirty-one. In 1820 the North had one hundred and eight, the South eighty-one. The South was evidently losing power in legislation, and saw the necessity of taking active measures to increase its representation. This could be done only by an extension of slave territory. The Territory of Missouri applied in 1819 for admission as a State, and the question of slavery-extension at once came up in Congress. An account of the controversy which succeeded, with its vitally-important termination, we extract from Dr. Von Holst's "Constitutional and Political History of the United States," as translated from the German by John J. Lalor and Alfred B. Mason.]
In February, 1819, the House of Representatives went into committee of the whole over the admission of Missouri as a State. The recommendation of the committee provided in the ordinary manner what was necessary to this end. Tallmadge of New York moved the amendment that the admission should be made dependent upon the two following conditions: prohibition of the further introduction of slaves, and emancipation of all the slave children born after the admission as soon as they reached the age of twenty-five. This motion gave life to the whole strife, and the idea embraced in it remained the essence of the strife until the decision of its most important points. The majority of the House of Representatives voted to make the admission of Missouri as a State dependent upon such a limitation of her power in regard to slavery; but the majority of the Senate decided against this. Both houses insisted on their respective resolves, and Congress adjourned without coming to any final decision. When the question again came up in the next session, the opponents of the so-called "Missouri limitation" found them- selves materially aided by a new circumstance. Maine, which had hitherto been a district of Massachusetts, applied for admission as an independent State. The majority of the Senate coupled together the Maine and Missouri bills, and so put before the majority of the House the alternative of admitting Missouri without any limitation, or denying, for the present, the admission of Maine. The House was not yet ready to acknowledge itself so easily beaten. Neither earlier nor later has a struggle been fought out in Congress in which the majorities of both houses have stood by the decision once arrived at with such stiff-neckedness. The close of the session constantly drew nearer, and an agreement seemed farther off than ever. The whole country was in a state of feverish excitement. At the last moment, in the night between the 2d and 3d of March, 1820, free labor and the principle of nationality yielded to slavery and the principle of State sovereignty. It the matter had affected Missouri alone, the defeat would have been of small practical significance; but two principles had been given up, and these two principles involved the weal and woe of the republic..
The South by no means limited itself to a discussion of the mere question of law, but brought forward a cloud of pleas in justification. It was asserted that the Louisiana Territory, to which Missouri belonged, had been obtained at a cost of the whole Union, and that it would there-fore be unjust to deprive the inhabitants of half the Union of the "colonization right;" but this would evidently be the case if they were forbidden to take their property with them. It was said, on the other hand, that slavery would present an impassable wall to immigration from the North. Where labor bears the stamp of shame the free laborer cannot turn his steps. But how could there be hesitation when the choice was to be made between the exclusion of slavery or free labor? The Union should be a nursery of freedom, and not a breeding-place for slavery. The South itself declaimed with the greatest pathos over the curse of slavery. Was it not, then, a self-evident duty to preserve the land from any extension of the curse?
The last part of this argument was repelled with great decision by the majority of Southern members. They affirmed that when it was proposed to allow the importation of slaves from Africa, or from any foreign country, the South would be first and most earnest in protesting against it. But by compliance with the wish expressed by the South the slave population of the Union "would not be increased by a single soul." Over and over again it was affirmed, with Jefferson in his old age, "All know that permitting the slaves of the South to spread into the West . . will increase the happiness of those existing, and, by spreading them over a larger surface, will dilute the evil everywhere and facilitate the means of getting rid of it, an event more anxiously wished by those on whom it presses than by the noisy pretenders to exclusive humanity."
[This false reasoning, however, was readily overthrown, it being undeniable that increased subsistence would increase population, while the higher prices arising from a widened market would be a strong impulse towards an increase in the supply of slaves. The question of State rights was next brought in as an element of the debate, it being claimed that the Constitution was but an "international compact," which could exercise no other powers than those originally granted it by the sovereign States, and could impose no conditions on new States not directly specified in that instrument.]
It was indeed said that the slavery limitation did not really withdraw a "fundamental right," but rather did away with a "fundamental wrong." But the Constitution had left to the original States the right of tacitly letting the fundamental wrong stand as a "right" or of making it one. If several States made no use of this prerogative, and if the facts of every day showed it to be more than a destructive fiction that slavery was a "purely municipal institution," yet this did not change the positive right. Slavery eat into the life-marrow of the whole Union; therefore not only considerations of morality, but the highest self-interest of the Union demanded the absolute prohibition of its further extension. But morality and self-interest could not do away with the fact that the whole Constitution rested upon the foundation of the equality of the members of the Union, and that the original members had full freedom of action in regard to this particular question.
The unconquerable obstacle can be expressed in a single sentence: the fact could not be done away with that the Union was composed of free and slave States, that is, the fact could not be done away with that the attempt had been made to construct out of heterogeneous elements not only a harmonious but a homogeneous whole.
Arguments could not bring the question any nearer to a solution. After the differences of principle between the two parties had been clearly established, the debates served only to excite passion. The slave-holders sought more than ever to make a bridge of threats upon which they could cross to their goal. It is said that Randolph proposed to Clay to abandon the House to the Northern members, and that Clay actually gave the project serious consideration.
Missouri herself took an extremely arrogant position. When Taylor moved, December 16, 1819, to defer the consideration of the bill till the first Monday in February, 1820, Scott, the delegate of the Territory, objected that Missouri would, in this case, go on and organize a State government without waiting any longer for leave from Congress. And this threat of the Territorial delegate against the whole Union was not punished as a piece of laughable insolence. Reid of Georgia declared that Missouri would "indignantly throw off the yoke" and "laugh Congress to scorn." Tyler of Virginia, the future President, asked what would be done if "Missouri sever (herself) from the Union?" And Jefferson, the ex-President, expressed the fear that Missouri would be "lost by revolt."
During the whole struggle the decision had depended only upon a few votes, for a number of Northern representatives had voted, from the beginning, with the South. That it was, nevertheless, so long before the South obtained, by threats and worse means, the necessary number of votes, is a plain proof that an independent and honorable spirit was then much more common among Northern politicians than later. The restriction was finally stricken out by a majority of only three votes.
The results of this defeat were immense; but still more fraught with evil was the second defeat which the North suffered at the same time, and almost, indeed, without a struggle. . Since only the northern part of Missouri Territory was to be organized as a State, the southern part, the so-called Arkansas district, had to receive a Territorial government of its own When the bill concerning this came up for discussion in the House, Taylor proposed an amendment in regard to slavery like the one which Tallmadge had brought up in the case of Missouri. In committee of the whole the amendment was rejected by eighty to sixty-eight votes. In the House it had a some-what better fate. The first part, which forbade the further introduction of slaves, was rejected by seventy-one to seventy votes; but the second part, which freed slave children born in the Territory upon their twenty-fifth birthday, was adopted by seventy-five to seventy-three votes. With the help of parliamentary rules, however, the question was brought once more before the House. By the casting vote of the Speaker, Clay, the bill was referred back to the committee, and on the same day, in accordance with its report, the previously adopted amendment was rejected by eighty-nine to eighty-seven votes.
The attempt to lay hand upon the peculiar institution in this Territory was regarded by the slave-holders as an especial bit of spitefulness, because Arkansas was regarded as belonging to the peculiar domain of the South. This opinion influenced some Northern representatives, and to it the easy victory of the South is to be ascribed. .
The eighth section of the Missouri act of March 6, 1820, provided "that in all that territory ceded by France to the United States, under the name of Louisiana, which lies north of 36 deg 30' north latitude, not included within the limits of the State contemplated by this act, slavery and involuntary servitude .. shall be, and is hereby forever prohibited." This was the second half of the so-called Missouri Compromise, and the responsibility for its adoption does not wholly rest upon a few weak or venal delegates from the North. Only five Northern members voted against it. The North thus gave its approval by an overwhelming majority to the division of the Territories between free labor and slavery. It was indeed only declared that slavery should not be allowed north of 36 deg 30', but this was self-evidently equivalent to saying that south of this line no hindrance would be put in the way of the slave-holders. The first suggestion of such a compromise was made by McLane in February, 1819, and he then expressly declared that the Territories should be "divided" between the free and slave States. It was never afterwards denied that this was a fair interpretation of the compromise. The action of the Northern members can be justified from no point of view. Even in mitigation of their fault it can only be alleged that when they had decided to make a bargain the one agreed upon did not seem disadvantageous, provided men did not look beyond the present time. The Louisiana territory -- according to the boundaries set to it by the United States -- was divided into two nearly equal parts by the line of 36 deg 30'. But, while the Missouri question was still pending, an agreement was reached with Spain concerning the boundary-line by which a great part of the southern half was lost to the United States.
[The result of this compromise was that the country was practically divided into free and slave sections, upon a fixed geographical basis. Though there was nothing in the bill to declare that slavery should exist everywhere south of the line of demarcation, it had become a tacit bargain which was not likely to be successfully questioned.]
The South had allowed itself to pursue a purely idealistic policy where European relations were concerned, but where the interest of the slave-holders was touched upon it had followed from the beginning a policy that was not only realistic in the highest degree, but wise. It took good care to demand everything forthwith. What it needed at the moment satisfied it for the moment. It propped the planks securely, and then shoved them just so much farther that it could safely take the next step when it became necessary. It had done this at present, and therefore was contented for the present. Up to this time the free States had always been one more in number than the slave States. Now the latter got Alabama and Missouri into the Union, and the former only Maine. The balance of power in the Senate was therefore fully established. Their territorial possessions were, in the mean time, ample; Florida, just acquired from Spain, Arkansas and the rest of the southern part of the Louisiana territory, balanced for a while the northwest, which, as Charles Pinckney wrote, had been inhabited until now only by wild beasts and Indians. Why express alarm now over things which could become realities only after the lapse of many years? But it did not follow from this that alarm should never be expressed over them. Reid of Georgia had already asked why a partition-line should not be drawn between the two sections "to the Pacific Ocean.". .
Up to this time the division of the Union into two sections had been only a fact: henceforth it was fixed by law. . Each of the two groups inevitably constantly consolidated more and more; and the more they consolidated the more the Missouri line lost its imaginary character. For the first time there was, in the full sense of the term, a free North and a slave-holding South. "Political prudence," as it was hyper-euphemistically called, might lead one to oppose this with the strength of despair; but all political artifices were put to shame by the power of facts. Even the last resource, the erasure of the black line from the map by another law and by judicial decisions, remained without effect: the line was etched too deeply into the real ground. Only one thing could erase it, and this one thing was the destruction of the gloomy power that had drawn it. From the night of March 2, 1820, party history is made up, without interruption or break, of the development of geographical parties.
This was what was really reached when men breathed free, as if saved from a heavy nightmare. The little and cowardly souls congratulated themselves that the slavery question had been buried forever; and yet men never shook themselves free from the Missouri question.
The strife was kindled again by a clause of the Constitution of Missouri by which the legislature was obliged to pass laws against the entry of free colored persons into the State. The North declared that this clause infringed upon the constitutional provision according to which "the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States." The slaveholders affirmed that free blacks were not to be considered as citizens "in the sense of the Constitution." The Northern Congressmen opposed to this the fact that free blacks were citizens in some Northern States, and that the clause in question spoke of "citizens of every State." The debate was finally lost in endless arguments over the meaning of the words "citizens" and "citizens of the United States," without reaching any results.
[A compromise was finally proposed by Henry Clay, which permitted the objectionable clause to remain in the State Constitution provided that the State would agree never to pass a law to make it operative. This assurance was given by the Missouri legislature, and the conflict ended.]
Three constitutional questions -- two of them of cardinal importance -- had been discussed. Men had fought shy of all three for the moment, and for this reason the originators of the compromise claimed that they had postponed the decision to the Greek kalends. From a legal point of view, only one positive result had been reached, and this was on a point concerning which no legal question existed. The Northern majority had indirectly renounced the right of Congress to forbid slavery, as far as the territory lying south of the line of 36 deg 30' was concerned, and it had agreed to this renunciation because the Southern minority had renounced, on its side, its claims to having the question of law involved decided now in its favor, provided its concrete demands, which it based upon its interpretation of the Constitution, were complied with.
This was the true nature and substance of the "compromise" which gave Henry Clay the first claim to the proud name of "the great peace-maker."

My last car was an '09 E63 that had a window of $108k. It was an untitled dealer car that I leased when it was 6mos. old(w 5,xxx miles) for a cap cost of $71.5k(with 0 down). Now that's a crazy drop in 6mos! When I finished the lease, it appeared as though similar cars had asking prices BELOW the MBZFS residual. Imagine the poor sucker that BOUGHT a similar car for what, $102k?!
BMW's seem to do better, IMO...
I had 2 E46 M3's, both leased on ED. They were good-great cars for the money($775 & $825/mo respectively)Both vehicles were worth more than their residual at lease end, so I actually sold the last one and got a few grand.
Yeah, good work on the M3's ! That car was highly sought after. Sounds like you have a good eye. I always felt like e63's were purposely priced just over 100k so customers could say that they drive a "hundred thousand dollar car!".

Justin Bieber Continues Taunting Orlando Bloom With Instagram Crying Pic
It looks like Justin Bieber can't seem to get over his little tiff with Orlando Bloom, as the "Baby" singer is using social media to keep stoking the feud furnace.
Following a brief dust-up at Cipriani in Ibiza, Spain earlier this week, Bieber posted a photo of the "Elizabethtown" hunk wiping a tear from his eye via Instagram.
Justin initially deleted the shot, but shortly thereafter it was back on his page, hinting that Bloom is upset that Bieber boinked Miranda Kerr in 2012 while they were still married.
However, it also stands to reason that the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer is super miffed that Orly has been spotted spending time with Selena Gomez as of late.

2003 outside door handle problem
I recently picked up a 2003 E46 coupe from a re-cycler. The passenger door handle was missing. When I installed a replacement, I couldn't get the door to open. The handle lifted properly, but the tongue wouldn't release from the catch bracket. I can, however, open the door from the inside by pulling the Bowden cable forward. (The interior panel's been removed.)
Anyone have thoughts? Bad carrier, maybe? Something else for me to try?
I'll appreciate any suggestions.

Aluminum Coffee Urn from Proctor-Silex, Care of Hamilton Beach Commercial (Choose a Size Above)
These commercial coffeemakers from Proctor-Silex, brought to you by Hamilton Beach Commercial, brew up to 40, 60, or 100 cups of coffee at a time (enough to serve 30, 50, or 70 guests respectively—choose a size above). The brushed aluminum housing is both durable and decorative, able to stand up to the abuse and scrutiny of your waiting room patrons or restaurant diners. An external level gauge shows how much coffee is left in the tank.
Each of these Proctor-Silex Commercial Coffee Urns uses a dual-heater system that rapidly heats coffee to brewing temperature before gently bringing it down to proper serving temperature and staying there.

Questions on Commercial Coffee Urn
- From Stockton, CA at 11/24/13 12:26 AM
- Hello,
My parents just bought a 60 cup coffee maker and my mom wants to know if there are coffee filters that we can buy for it. I understand it says you don't need one but my mom doesn't agree & is currently using paper towels that she cuts to fit. So, are there filters we can order or pick up @ a store?
- Pour over filters can be used. You just need to poke a hole in the center of them so the filter fits over the stem that sticks through the urn brew basket. Regular household 12 cup filters are too small. The filter will help minimize fine grounds getting into the chamber of the urn.
We hope this helps!

March 17, 2014
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- University of Michigan freshman forward JT Compher (Northbrook, Ill.) was selected as the inaugural Big Ten ice hockey Freshman of the Year, as voted by a panel of Big Ten coaches and media, the conference announced Monday (March 17). Compher was a unanimous selection for the Big Ten all-freshman team.
Compher and Mac Bennett (Narragansett, R.I.) were selected to the All-Big Ten second team, while Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and Alex Guptill (Newmarket, Ontario) earned honorable mention. Michael Downing (Canton, Mich.) earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team, and Luke Moffatt (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) was Michigan's selection for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.
Compher leads the team and Big Ten freshmen with 31 points (11G, 20A) for an average of 0.91 points per game. His assists mark is also best among Big Ten freshmen. Compher was also tops among freshmen in conference play with 20 points (8G, 12A) in 20 games, and he leads the Big Ten and is tied for fourth in the nation with three shorthanded goals on the season.
His four-point outburst (2G, 2A) on Jan. 24 at Michigan State was the most by a Michigan player since Oct. 13, 2011, when David Wohlberg had four points (G, 3A) in a 10-3 win over St. Lawrence. Compher had the most points in a game by a Michigan freshman in more than eight years in that contest. On Nov. 4, 2005, Andrew Cogliano recorded four points (2G, 2A) in an 8-5 win at Notre Dame.
Bennett was one the league's top offensive defensemen, finishing tied for sixth with 12 assists and seventh with 14 points (2G, 12A). He was tied for fifth among league defensemen this season with a plus-12 rating. Bennett returned to the lineup last Friday (March 14) against Minnesota after missing four games with an upper body injury. Despite missing four league games, he finished tied for third among Big Ten defensemen with 11 points (2G, 9A) in conference play.
Copp led Michigan with 15 goals on the season and finished the regular season with 29 points (15G, 14A). He was tied for seventh among Big Ten skaters with 16 points (7G, 9A) in 20 conference games.
Guptill recorded 16 points (7G, 9A) in 17 league games, finishing sixth in the conference at 0.94 points per game. He recorded 25 points (12G, 13A) in 30 games overall, finishing the regular season with 11 points (6G, 5A) in his last 11 games.
Downing was a physical force in conference play, earning a reputation as a big hitter and a solid two-way defenseman. Downing finished second among Michigan blueliners with 12 points (2G, 10A) and recorded 49 blocked shots on the season.
The Wolverines will return to game action on Thursday (March 20) at 2 p.m. CDT, when they will face Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.

Charles Bush - Charged With Stealing Sex Toys From Neighbor After Wife And Daughter Find Them In His Bed
Greeley, Colorado (The Weekly Vice) - Charles Tyrone Bush, a 58-year-old Greeley man was jailed after he allegedly stole sex toys from his neighbor.
According to Greeley Police, officers were dispatched to a woman's home after a woman reported that several items had been stolen from her residence including a large number of sex toys.
She alleged that her neighbor, Charles Bush, had stolen the items and that she knew who the suspect was because the suspect's wife and daughter had returned some of the items after finding them in his bed.
Investigators say the victim showed responding officers pictures of her missing sex toys, and stated that she had found a pair of binoculars on her bed after the alleged theft that didn't belong to her.
Bush's daughter told investigators that the binoculars looked like a pair that she had seen in their garage. Detectives determined Bush gained entry through a basement window. When detectives searched his home, they found one of the stolen sex toys in a backpack in his bedroom. Many of the sex toys, however, still remain missing.
Bush was booked into the Weld County Jail and charged with second-degree burglary and misdemeanor theft between $500 and $1,000. He s currently being held in lieu of a $35,000 bond.
According to court records, Bush has an extensive criminal history, including arrests for burglary, harassment, violation of a restraining order, and assault.

A picosecond terahertz pulse causes an avalanche of excitons to burst forth from semiconductor GaAs.
Working with standard semiconductor material (gallium arsenide, GaAs), the team observed that exposing the sample to a terahertz (1,000 gigahertz) range electric field pulse caused an avalanche of electron-hole pairs (excitons) to burst forth. This single-cycle pulse, lasting merely a picosecond (10^-12 s), resulted in a 1,000-fold increase in exciton density compared with the initial state of the sample.
"The terahertz pulse exposes the sample to an intense 1 MV/cm^2 electric field," explains Hideki Hirori, team leader and Assistant Professor at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS). "The resulting exciton avalanche can be confirmed by a bright, near-infrared luminescence, demonstrating a three-order of magnitude increase in the number of carriers."
Research in Kyoto using terahertz waves is led by Professor Koichiro Tanaka, whose lab at the iCeMS pursues numerous applications including the development of new biological imaging technologies.
"Since terahertz waves are sensitive to water, our goal is to create a microscope that will allow us to look inside living cells in real time," says Prof. Tanaka. "These just-released results using semiconductors are an entirely different field of science, but they demonstrate the rich potential that lies in the study of terahertz waves."
Contacts and sources:
The article, "Extraordinary carrier multiplication gated by a picosecond electric field pulse" by H. Hirori, K. Shinokita, M. Shirai, S. Tani, Y. Kadoya, and K. Tanaka was published online in the December 20, 2011 issue of Nature Communications.

About the iCeMS
The Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) at Kyoto University in Japan aims to advance the integration of cell and material sciences -- both traditionally strong fields for the university -- in a uniquely innovative global research environment. The iCeMS combines the biosciences, chemistry, materials science, and physics to capture the potential power of stem cells (e.g., ES/iPS cells) and of mesoscopic sciences (e.g., porous coordination polymers). Such developments hold the promise of significant advances in medicine, pharmaceutical studies, the environment, and industry.

Method for measuring the hygroscopic behaviour of lower volatility fractions in an internally mixed aerosol
Johnson, Graham R., Ristovski, Zoran, & Morawska, Lidia (2004) Method for measuring the hygroscopic behaviour of lower volatility fractions in an internally mixed aerosol. Journal of Aerosol Science, 35(4), pp. 443-455.
|PDF (304kB)
A tandem differential mobility analyser system combining volatilisation and humidification aerosol conditioning to allow the observation of hygroscopic behaviour for non-volatile residues in sulphate aerosols in real time has been developed and demonstrated. The Volatilisation and Humidification Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (VH-TDMA) system can measure changes in the hygroscopic behaviour of heterogeneously nucleated aerosol as one or more semi-volatile species are removed through thermal evaporation or decomposition.
The VH-TDMA system has the potential to distinguish between submicrometer particles containing residues of differing volatility and hygroscopic growth and can do so for residue diameters as small as 5 nm. The technique has the potential to distinguish between components such as sea salt and combustion derived particles within submicrometer sulphate aerosols and will find application in marine and combustion aerosol research investigating nucleation, coagulation and secondary aerosol formation processes.
Hygroscopic growth and volatility data measured with the system are presented for Di-2-ethylhexyl-sebacate (DEHS), sodium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate, sulphuric acid, ammonium bisulphate and methane sulphonic acid, as single aerosol species for comparison with values reported by other authors. Results of investigations of aerosols containing mixtures of two species are also presented.

Music Video Offers A Voyeuristic View Of People's Private Internet Habits [Video]
Holly Herndon's new track features an intimate 3D look at people's desks and workspaces.
We all have certain online habits that might seem strange to others, something which Holly Herndon was keen to capture when she turned to Akihiko Taniguchi for help with her latest music video. The video for "Chorus" was inspired when Holly took a look at her own online tendencies, some of which you can see for yourself below.
Holly explained why she was so excited about teaming up with Akihiko for her new track:
I love the idea of depicting the mundane and quotidian in high definition, and how evocative and individual each of these spaces are. Thinking about intimacy and the laptop is familiar territory for me. I've also been thinking a lot about privacy, particularly in light of the ongoing revelations regarding the NSA, which add a more sinister sub-narrative to Akihiko's piece.
Akihiko also asked several of his friends to photograph their desktop environments, which were then rendered with custom 3D software. This dreamlike landscape can be seen throughout the video, which creates a viewing experience far-removed from the typical music video.
I was interested in exploring the textures of daily necessities and the embodiment / physicality of the computer and Internet. One of the most striking contemporary images is that of the desktop capture, which is seen commonly on YouTube as part of software tutorials. I like the shots of desktops that are poorly organized and 'lived-in'.
Don't miss out on Holly's new track, which is both visually mesmerizing, and aurally inspiring.

Intellectual property has implications for private and public entities, as both strive to maintain a balanced patent system that can further be used for commercializing a technology/know-how or restricting its widespread use. However, it is now amply evident that intellectual property rights are a powerful tool for securing financial or takeover deals, and during negotiations. The intellectual property market also features law firms that advise their clients on protecting and using their intellectual property in compliance with the regulatory mandates in different regions of the world.
The global intellectual property market will move a step close to maturity when IP laws are followed, information transparency is achieved, and strategic thinking is given importance. Leading economies have already passed laws to encourage this. In the United States, for instance, introduced the America Invents Act in September 2011. The act is aimed at enhancing product quality by collecting third party patent-related information and registering it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The report segments the global intellectual property market based on geography and property type. By geography, the market is composed of North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. By property type, the market comprises: Patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, copyrights, and trade secrets. While patents offer the inventor the exclusive rights of using their intellectual property, copyrights work on a similar understanding but for a limited time frame. With patents and copyrights becoming an important asset for companies wanting to maintain a lead over their competitors, it is expected that they will spend more on acquiring these rights. The development of patenting funds will also pump in more revenue into the global intellectual property market. The trend of online intellectual property is developing into a solid market in its own right.

Here's a quote from Snowolf, I guess I didn't search.

This applies for both turns but especially so for the heelside turn. The reason you are washing out most likely is because you are most likely too stiff legged and are remaining too far forward at the end of the turn.
As you no doubt know, to initiate a good turn on steep terrain, you need to shift your weight forward over the front foot. The problem is that often we get so focused on this that we forget that there is a time to get aft on our board. In addition, we have learned to flex (get low) going into each turn and then gradually extend through the turn. What often happens though is we extend through the apex of the turn and then become static through turn completion. Both of these things allow the tail of our board to loose edge hold and skid out from under us.
To correct this, we need to alter our riding technique a little bit. First, let`s talk about this fore-aft movement. We start out with a forward shift to initiate the turn. As soon as we enter into the turn, we should be slowly shifting our weight rearward. As we approach the apex of the turn, we should be fully centered and slowly moving aft. After we pass apex and going through turn completion, we actually should have our weight shifted fully aft so that we feel most of our weight on the back foot.
This sounds totally counter to everything we have been taught about riding right? On the surface it is but when you start getting outside of the box for typical intermediate riding terrain, the techniques change. On this super steep terrain, edge hold becomes an issue. In order to maintain edge hold, the rider must keep maximum weight on the part of the edge that has the most lateral force (basically pulling to the outside of the turn) As we enter the turn completion phase, this is the tail of the board and by shifting our weight back, we are applying downward pressure to keep the tail locked in. Its like adding weight to the bed of a pickup truck on an icy road; it keeps the rear of the truck from skidding.
Now on to the flexing and extending and their timing. We flex low going into a turn so that we can gradually extend through the turn. This extension has the effect of increasing downward edge pressure which makes our turns more powerful and it locks the edge of the snowboard into the snow more effectively. Now, when we reach the apex of the turn and start to bring the board back toward us, we need to slowly retract our legs to help bring the board back up under us. If we remain static in our fully extended position, we are in essence fighting ourselves.
More importantly though, in the turn completion phase of the turn we have the most force trying to pull the tail to the outside of the turn. Our momentum down the slope, gravity and centrifugal force all want to rip the tail out from under us. Now, by flexing slowly, we can counteract these forces a little bit. The flexing through turn completion helps pull the tail back up hill towards slightly and can soften the tail chatter that happens just prior to the edge hold being lost.
So, to sum it up, shift forward on turn entry and slowly shift aft all the way through turn completion to move your weight down along your edge where the most force is acting upon it. Secondly, start low and extend through your turn to the apex and as you go through the apex of the turn, slowly start flexing low again.
Lastly, watch your rotary movements! While it is certainly okay to use rotary movements with dynamic riding, you can overdo it; especially on heelside. An over rotation can also increase that force that is trying to break the tail of the board free and start a skid.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Mexico's Coal Mining Drug Lords
Posted on Feb 23, 2013
Coal mining in Mexico's Coahuila state, which borders Texas, is turning out to be more profitable for the country's Zetas gang than trafficking in illicit drugs, and some of its product finds its way into the Mexican national electricity supply.
How can coal mining be more profitable than selling illegal drugs, you might be wondering? Al-Jazeera's John Holman reports:
"[O]ne of the big things is that in Coahuila there's lots of small clandestine mines called pothos. And these sorts of mines have very little regulation, and so obviously they can have bigger turnover from gangs like the Zetas gang, and obviously miners in that state [are] not usually very highly trained and poorly paid. So that's another reason they could earn a lot of money from it."

Legues said
Animation1000 saidThanks a lot matey!!!! I really appreciate your help!! I did a support ticket with this situation!!! I don´t believe why Envato in general is so "calm" in this kind of situation – we lose money but they too!!!!!!
Legues I sent you a pm with links.
Unfortunately my friend the money they loose are basically peanuts for Envato. The earnings envato makes from all the gr authors combined cannot even reach the 1/10 of a medium caliber theme from the forest. So they just don't care
Devianart is full of spam advertizing and adds unless you have a paid subscription. On the other hand behance has a more professional look and I would really recommend to try it my friend. I would also like a dribble invite, thats for sure, but it is kind of annoying when people give them away only if you like their page or stuff….
I have managed to spot the problem after spending sometime experimenting but thanks for your reply buddy!!! The interesting part though is that it only affects the visual appearance of the psd file and once I saved a .jpg it was flawless. I guess it 's a program bug. :/
Hello Guys,
I currently experience some issues with photoshop masks. To be more specific: I applied a gradient layer mask to a partially filled smart layer to achieve a fade out effect. The problem is that when I scale this layer, the mask shrinks covering only the part of the layer with filled pixels. Normally this should not cause any problems, the fact though that I have a Gaussian blur filter applied on this layer leaves a small part of the edges unmasked (the blurred part I guess). How can I resolve this? Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance
Don't have great experience selling graphic files my friend but on the 3d modeling industry it is definitely more profitable to be non exclusive in as many sites as possible. Hope i helped!!!
congrats m8!!!
I was worrying too about the sales on the last month, but if you think of it a bit deeper you can not possibly have a statistic analysis with 10 sales average per week, because 2 sales up or down, which is logical, will give you an 20% difference. The only ones that can give us an answer, are those authors that have more than 200 sales per week average and are still actively uploading items every month.
I think there is a connection between 1star ratings, sale reversals without asking any kind of support from the author and hacked items. One day of the last month I had 6 sales in just half an hour, at first I was really excited but then I realized that there might be a fraud or something behind this incident. I guess I m gonna find out soon enough. Ooooo…. and the claims of envato staff that this is less than 1%... is total crap of course!!! (just like the known "we are working towards resolving the review ques problem")
Congrats m8
Congrats my friend!!!

Volunteer places rocks by hand
Thousands of small rocks, hand placed by 86-year-old Clyde Wright, line the roadway and parking lot of the Cove State Park marina.
As a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America, Wright has volunteered his time to work on projects at Cove Park for 20 years.
His latest effort began in July 2011, to bring safety to a blind corner at the entrance to the marina parking lot, where two close calls with cars had occurred.
The corner was full of boulders and 7-foot tall bitterbrush bushes that blocked visibility.
Wright had an idea to make the corner safe, while also adding something fun for kids to do -- build a maze.
"I removed the bitterbrush around the boulders so there would be access, and opened up the area," Wright said. There was a lot of bitterbrush and the tedious work took him 11 months.
He also lined the perimeter of the maze with small rocks, to keep people in the designated area.
Recently completed, the maze consists of huge basalt boulders, up to 11 feet high, with 125 yards of looping paths that wind around them.
Flags mark the routes: red for beginners, white for intermediate, and blue for advanced hikers.
"The maze is so kids can come up and go between, under and through the rocks, but they're confined to the area so they're not affecting the park," Wright said.
The path also gives them a chance to see rock lichen, native plants and wildflowers, and lizards up close.

Flooring over Cold Cement
My parents have a cabin in the mountains of Colorado. The basement floor is concrete and very cold so we want to put down a new floor. They tried to put down laminent but the glue didn't work too well beecause of how cold the floor is. The other issue is that the floor has been know to flood a bit during the winter. Is the only good option laminent as long as we can heat the floor up enough or is there better options out there? I thought about glueing down carpet tiles and just dealing with them getting wet sometimes.
I suggest ceramic tile--you can roll out a nice thick carpet on top to keep your feet warm.
properly set the ceramic tile can take a complete flood. Electric heating elements can be installed under the tile also. (at great expense)--Mike---
I put laminate in most of my basement over "Silent Blue" pad, but none of mine is glued and no glue was ever called for, it is 100% a floating floor. The pad can take some moisture, but certainly not a flood...but mine could all come out and be reinstalled if needed.
I also used FLOR carpet squares in the basement bedroom, and this also is a floating floor, but man they do not move. Stuck to each other with removeable adhesive "dots" in the corners. I liked these because it's a kids room and if a square gets messed up you can simply pull it out and replace/move it to a less conspicious area/wash it in a slop sink/ etc. Also the whole thing could come up quite easily if flooded.
Just some other ideas, I've had these down for 4+ years now without issue, but tile as mentioned is certainly a viable option.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
You're accustomed to seeing greenmarkets in bustling downtown districts or in parking lots off busy roads. But a greenmarket with an ocean view? You can only get that on Hollywood Beach. Every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:31 p.m., parking anywhere near the market is a test of patience — families come bounding out of narrow alleyways in massive SUVs, octogenarians in spaceship-sized Buicks sit and wait in the middle of the street for nobody in particular, and ecstatically successful market patrons skip gaily through it all, their eyes barely peeking out from behind their crates of produce. Josh's stand has become such a must-do affair that most of Hollywood (and a considerable amount of other rogue veg-heads) turns out to see what surprises Josh has in store that week. Josh is a high-energy, multi-tasking wonder, and he's loaded up with essential vitamins F.U. and N. He springs from crate to crate, announcing which produce is the freshest and most delicious. He kisses regulars on the cheeks as he doles out samples of local, organically grown heirloom tomatoes, dinosaur plums, and other juicy, colorful orbs. If you're more inclined to drinking your fruits and veggies, hit up the juice bar. Every thirst-quenching drop is served out of compostable PLA "plastic" cups (made from corn instead of the usual petroleum). And if you ask for them, your produce bags can be PLA as well. In addition to keeping things fresh and tasty, this market manages to keep its prices down-to-earth. And really, there's no better way to start your week than that.
We thought we'd never find another shrimp dish to so thoroughly amuse our bouches after Florence Fabricant's classic entry in our dog-eared copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook — until we stumbled into Bonefish Grill and ordered their "Saucy Gulf Shrimp." Here's an appeteaser to jostle any cynic from apathy, a balance of sharp and savory to spur the flagging appetite and rouse failed expectations; priced at $7.90 and generous enough to share, it's satisfying but not satiating. Bonefish, a homegrown Florida chain we can confidently brag about, now serves this concoction as far north as Jersey, but the magic in the brew's consistent: juicy Gulf shrimp sautéed in butter with slivers of sun-dried tomato and kalamata olives, tossed around in a lime, tomato, garlic, cream, and white wine sauce — with more butter. That's topped with a little feta and a handful of parsley. Bonefish ought to offer a guarantee: Mop up every drop or your money back.
Argentina has given the world soccer star Diego Maradona and power broker Eva Peron, but neither were as satisfying as Beefeater. First, it's good for your taste buds: the savory flavors of South America fill your mouth. Then it's good for your hunger: entrees like the egantic (that is, bigger than ginormous) churrasco will fill you up with plenty left for a meal the next day. Perhaps even better is the price. You can start with empanadas or grilled provolone; move on to a steak covered with rich, bright-green chimichurri sauce; and finish with panqueque con dulce de leche, a crepe made with caramel and powdered sugar and flambéed with rum, and you still won't break the 20-dollar mark. Lunch specials get you a steak, salad, and drink for under $10. Around dinnertime the restaurant gets crowded, but complimentary drinks and the people-watching on Hollywood Boulevard help pass the time.
You can't find EveryBurger everywhere. If you could just stop at any corner store and pick up a pack of the delicious little Japanese cookies that masquerade as itty-bitty burgers, you'd at least spend less on gas. But our convenience stores will never be that cool. To find the best imported Asian treats, you have to go to Sasaya Japanese Market. In addition to inexpensive to-go sushi (the priciest roll is $7.50), Sasaya offers one-stop shopping for wasabi peas, lucky cat wallets, and kitchen supplies; plus extra-fancy, extra-spicy ramen noodles, and assorted sakes and curry pastes.
It's not just about the bagels. You want a place that evokes the old-time Lower East Side, with wise, gabby people exchanging gossip or leafing through the New York papers as they eat their bagels, typically with a schmear of cream cheese and a slice of nova. This brings us to East Side Bagel & Deli, a modest little restaurant in a commercial strip near the Galt Ocean Mile. The display case is always full of bagels, and they're just the right consistency (chewy, not bready or — heaven forbid — rock-like). There's lots of talk and a friendly staff to serve a full breakfast or lunch, or just your favorite round ones (sesame seed, poppy seed, egg, plain, you get the idea). New owner Kevin Spence says that, when it comes to bagels, he's got a tough, seasoned crowd, many of them from New York. "They know what they're eating," Spence says. And they come back for more. In fairness, most of East Side Deli's bagels are prepared at Bagelmania, where they know a thing or two about baking bagels. No, says Denise Jimenez, the Bagelmania boss' wife, it's not the water (the usual excuse for why you can't get a good bagel outside of New York). "You mix the dough, then you let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours," she says. "That's the secret. If you don't let it sit, it doesn't come out right."
Want to know how to spot good barbeque? It's not just the smell — though if the air outside is perfumed by the sugary scent of wood smoke, you're in good shape. Nor is it the queue out front — people still line up to get McDonalds. The secret is in the grill man. Take a look at the guy: Does he have an innate connection to the meat? Can he just stare at a pork shoulder, smokin' away above the coals, and commune with its innermost fleshiness? Does he look as much a part of the place as the ancient oven that he mans, his face wrinkled and hardened from years of staring into the pit? That's the guy I want cooking my 'que. At the 55-year-old landmark Georgia Pig, that man is owner Wayne Anderson, and he turns out the most deeply smoked, immaculately rich BBQ you'll find in South Florida. The chopped pork — oh my God, the chopped pork — is infused with hickory and tumbled into layers of crunchy skin bristling with bacon-ized pork fat and succulent bits of tender, reddened flesh. The Pig's sauce, a water-thin spritz of vinegar and spices, serves only to enhance the flavor of the meat, not mask it with sickly syrups or bombastic tomatoes. You'll also find killer brisket, unctuous ribs (check out the smoke ring), authentic Brunswick stew, and decadent banana pudding. Be sure to thank the grill man on your way out.
