The Homesman Trailer Rides In
Hilary Swank is a woman on a mission
For his second big screen directorial effort, Tommy Lee Jones is firmly in Western territory, producing, writing, directing and co-starring in The Homesman with Hilary Swank. The first trailer has now arrived.
The drama finds Swank as Mary Bee Cuddy, a staunchly independent pioneer woman who has taken on the job of shepherding three mentally unstable women from Nebraska to Iowa. Between them and their destination lies miles of rough terrain, natural barriers and swarms of threats from unfriendly wagon trains to bandits and Native American tribes that prey on unwary travellers.
To help in her mission, Cuddy enlists the help of George Briggs, a claim jumper she meets when he's been sentenced to hang. Convincing him to journey with her, the pair sets out on their perilous task.
Jones has secured the services of some great actors here besides Swank, with the likes of Meryl Streep, Hailee Steinfeld, Jesse Plemons, Tim Blake Nelson, William Fichtner, John Lithgow, Miranda Otto and James Spader all aboard. With Luc Besson's EuropaCorp providing the distribution funds, The Homesman will hit the States in limited release on October 3 after a festival run that includes Cannes, but doesn't have a set UK date yet.

Perhaps the most critical question entering Washington's game Sunday against the 4-0 Atlanta Falcons is how well the Redskins' beleaguered secondary will hold up against Matt Ryan and his potent passing attack. Ryan and Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III have identical completion percentages (69.4 percent), which ranks second in the NFL. However, Ryan has attempted 23 more passes and thrown for seven more touchdowns.
The Falcons won't hesitate to try to spread the ball around Sunday against a Washington defense that has allowed an NFL-high 13 passing touchdowns. Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather will sit out his fifth game of the season Sunday. Cornerback Cedric Griffin also won't play due to a hamstring injury.
For your reading pleasure: Morris shifts into higher gear | 5 storylines | Redskins pass defense hindered by instability at safety
We'll post updates throughout. Enjoy the game.
Falcons-Redskins: Questions lie ahead this week
The Redskins head into next Sunday's game against the Vikings with a 2-3 record and two enormous questions as they prepare:
How quickly will Robert Griffin III recover from his "mild concussion" and will the team decide to hold kicker tryouts in Ashburn after Billy Cundiff's struggles?
Thanks for hanging out with us on the live blog. See you next Sunday.
Kirk Cousins: "Just rolled with the opportunity"
In a Comcast interview, Kirk Cousins — the Redskins' "other" rookie quarterback — talked about coming in to replace Robert Griffin III, who sustained what Coach Mike Shanahan said was a "mild concussion."
"You have some nerves, but that's part of playing quarterback, part of playing in the NFL. You expect that. [I] just rolled with the opportunity I was given. Obviously I didn't like the result and need to do some evaluation tomorrow and get back to work and correct the mistakes."
On the TD pass to Santana Moss:
"It looked like the deep safety didn't get back to the middle of the field and Santana got behind the defense and I just needed to touch it over the curled defender and Santana did the rest."
"It was a thrill, but at the time you know you still have a few possessions left and with Matt Ryan and that offense with the ball, you knew they were going to be able to take it down and get some points. We knew it was far from over and we had to keep fighting to finish strong."
On the interceptions:
"Bottom line: I was trying to do too much, trying to get it all back on one play. You just can't do that. You have to be patient, let the game come to you. When the opportunities are there, take 'em, but obviously, looking back, take the checkdowns, take the 3-, 4-yard gain and be okay with that and move on from there."
Mike Shanahan on Billy Cundiff's future
Coach Mike Shanahan on Billy Cundiff missing another field-goal attempt:
"It was disappointing, especially when it's a chip shot in there."
Shanahan wouldn't indicate whether there might be open tryouts in Ashburn this week. "I'm not sure what we'll do. I never say anything right after a game. You let about 24 hours go by and collect your thoughts, make decisions that you give you the best chance to win."
From Adam Carriker …
Tough loss. My boys never quit fighting. #HTTR #RedskinNation
— Adam Carriker (@AdamCarriker94) October 7, 2012
Kirk Cousins throws two late interceptions, seals Redskins' fate
The Kirk Cousins era — however brief it may turn out to be — started off with a bang. That 77-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss kept alive hopes that all was not lost against the Falcons after Robert Griffin III went down in the third quarter with what may have been a concussion.
But then Cousins threw an interception on the first play following the two-minute warning. Then he threw another as he was hit with just more than a minute to play.
And with that, the Redskins fell to the Falcons, 24-17. That marks Washington's eighth straight home loss and gives the Redskins a 2-3 record on the season.
Cousins finished with 111 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions on 5 of 9 passing. What did you all think of his overall performance? How comfortable would you feel with Cousins at the helm, should Griffin have to miss future games with the injury he suffered today?
Kirk Cousins raises a fair point
Kirk Cousins just walked down and slapped his offensive line's helmets. "We've got lots of time. Lots of time."
— Homer McFanboy (@HomerMcFanboy) October 7, 2012
Falcons take lead; Redskins defense looking tired
The Redskins' defense, which has stood tough for most of the day, appears to be wearing down a bit. Atlanta just conducted a six-play, 69-yard drive in which the Falcons made relatively easy gains on the ground and through the air. Michael Turner finished things off with a 13-yard touchdown run.
Atlanta holds a 24-17 lead with less than three minutes remaining.
Falcons tie the game on 53-yard field goal
The Redskins got their first sack of the day when defensive tackle Barry Cofield brought down Matt Ryan to give the Falcons third and long. But two plays later, Atlanta kicker Matt Bryant — who has yet to miss a field goal this season — sent a 53-yard attempt through the uprights.
Washington and Atlanta are tied, 17-17, with just less than eight minutes to play.
RGIII listed as "shaken up"
With Kirk Cousins filling in heroically, Robert Griffin III is listed by the Redskins as questionable to return. The team says he is "shaken up," a rather antiquated term in the modern NFL. He had a bandage on his chin when he left the field and it appeared as if he might have gotten some stitches. He was taken for immediate examination in an area just off the field, then taken later into the locker room.
The NFL modified its in-game concussion protocol after the Cleveland Browns failed to conduct proper testing on Colt McCoy last December. An independently certified athletic trainer monitors concussion-related injuries in an upstairs booth at every game site.
Kirk Cousins throws 77-yard TD pass
In his second series under center today, Redskins backup rookie QB Kirk Cousins tossed a 77-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss to put Washington back on top of the Falcons, 17-14. It's still early in the fourth quarter, but that was certainly an impressive effort by Cousins to calm the collective nerves of every fan and Redskin employee at FedEx Field.
Whether or not Robert Griffin III (possible concussion) returns to the game, it seems Cousins is capable of steering the ship.
Atlanta takes 14-10 lead on TD reception by Julio Jones
So Robert Griffin III may have a concussion. He's been — at least temporarily — replaced at quarterback by fellow rookie Kirk Cousins, who engineered a three-play, three-yard drive in his first series today under center.
Then the Falcons capped a five-play, 53-yard drive with a 18-yard touchdown reception by Julio Jones to provide Atlanta a 14-10 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Third quarter takeaway: Cousins-Grossman decision gets put to the test
The Redskins have had rookie quarterback Kirk Cousins active in every game this season as the primary backup to Robert Griffin III, ahead of veteran Rex Grossman.
Now that decision gets put to the test.
Cousins is in the game with the Redskins clinging to a three-point lead. Griffin exited after absorbing a hard hit on the sideline on a scramble. Under NFL rules, he cannot return to the game if he has any symptoms of a concussion.
Robert Griffin III heading to the Redskins locker room
UPDATE: Team says Griffin is "shaken up" and that his return to the game is questionable.
Redskins QB Robert Griffin III is heading to the Redskins locker room for further medical examination after taking a hard hit from Atlanta LB Sean Weatherspoon during the third quarter against the Falcons. Under NFL rules, Griffin had to be taken in for more attention if he displayed an concussion symptoms. Additionally, Griffin cannot return to today's game if he has any concussion symptoms.
No official word yet from the team on Griffin's status.
QB controversy? Don't be silly.
RGIII is being checked for a concussion (his chin is already bandaged from the hit he took) on one of his few carries of the day and has just headed to the locker room. It's Kirk Cousins time.
Just FYI, when I Tweet "QB controversy in DC" after Cousins' first completion, it will be satire. Just a heads up.
— Michael Tanier (@MikeTanier) October 7, 2012
Pierre Garcon responsible for best incomplete pass (to date) of the Redskins season
Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon caught a 15-yard pass and then fumbled as he came to the ground with just more than nine minutes remaining in the third quarter. The Falcons recovered and snuffed out another prime scoring opportunity for Washington.
Or at least that was the initial ruling on the field.
After a review by the officials in the booth, the call on the field was overturned, and the play was ruled an incomplete pass. That gave the Redskins second-and-10 from the Falcons 39-yard line.
A few plays later, Billy Cundiff converts a 23-yard field goal to provide the Redskins a 10-7 lead mid-way through the third quarter.
The drive wasn't all positive, though. Robert Griffin III is receiving medical attention on the sideline after taking a hard hit near the sideline on the third down play that preceded Cundiff's kick. More info to come as it becomes available. But when last seen, Redskins backup QB Kirk Cousins was warming up on the sideline.
Aside from containing Tony Gonzalez, Redskins defense solid in first half
Over the summer, Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez said he was "95 percent sure" he would retire at the conclusion of the 2012 season. Had Gonzalez — who more than likely is a lock for the Hall of Fame — decided to call it a career before the 2012 season, Sunday's game would be going significantly smoother* for the Redskins.
* Same could be said about Billy Cundiff, I suppose.
Gonzalez caught nine passes for 86 yards in the first half against Washington. There was the 21-yard reception that set up his one-yard touchdown catch near the end of the second quarter. But other than that, Gonzalez has been picking apart the Redskins defense with short receptions at key points in Atlanta's drives.
Washington largely has kept track of WR Julio Jones (8 rec., 47 yds) and Roddy White (2 rec., 47 yds). And the Redskins have limited RB Michael Turner to 25 yards on seven carries. QB Matt Ryan — who had been having an MVP-like season — hasn't looked all that impressive.
Maybe if you're Jim Haslett, you're fine with holding all of Atlanta's other weapons in check and letting Gonzalez have a big day. But if Washington's offense continues to struggle putting points on the board, a big day by Gonzalez might be enough to help Atlanta sneak out of town with a victory.
It will be interesting to see whether the Redskins take a different approach to defending Gonzalez in the second half.
Second quarter takeaway: Kicking woes resurface
The Redskins and Falcons are tied at 7 at halftime after an eventful second quarter.
Billy Cundiff's miss on a 31-yard field goal attempt perhaps ensures that the Redskins will have a new place kicker in a week. They didn't audition any kickers last week after Cundiff missed three field goal attempts but made the game-winner in Tampa last Sunday. A performance like that leaves no further room for errors, though, and now he has made another major mistake.
The Atlanta offense finally got a touchdown after sputtering for most of the half. Matt Ryan entered the game as the league's top-rated passer. But he has made bad throws today when there were big plays to be made for the Falcons. He also lost a fumble on a snap to squander a scoring opportunity.
The Redskins are getting solid play on defense, including Ryan Kerrigan's touchdown on an interception, and are running the ball well with Alfred Morris. That potentially could be a winning formula on a day when the Falcons appear to be off their game. But the Redskins have to hope at this point it doesn't come down to a kick by Cundiff.
Hey, but at least the Falcons didn't …
… Oh. Nevermind then. After Billy Cundiff missed a 31-yard field goal late in the second quarter, the Falcons marched straight downfield and capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown reception by Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez. The Falcons went 79 yards in eight plays for that score.
So instead of entering halftime with perhaps a 10-0 lead, Washington and Atlanta likely will heading into the intermission tied, 7-7. A little more on this later, but Gonzalez has slowly, steadily been forming cracks in the Redskins defense today.
Should the Redskins look for a new kicker?
Think there'll be some open kicker tryouts this week in Ashburn — even if Billy Cundiff kicks another game-winner?
And to think B. Cundiff actually was in competition with rookie Justin Tucker at one point this summer in Baltimore. Very good call, Ravens.

Efficient Redskins drive ends with missed FG attempt by Billy Cundiff
Okay, time for a quick, informal poll: If you were in charge of Redskins personnel, would you replace placekicker Billy Cundiff this coming week? Cundiff just capped an efficient Redskins drive by missing a 31-yard field goal wide right. And, as you well know, this wasn't his first missed field goal of the season. Cundiff has missed five of his last six field goal attempts, in fact.
So after Alfred Morris caught a 20-yard pass and then rushed for a 29-yard gain — and after Ryan Grant took his first carry as a Redskin five yards — the Redskins come away empty-handed.
Two-minute warning at FedEx. Redskins lead, 7-0.
Redskins defense tallies another turnover
With the Falcons driving into Redskins territory and just less than five minutes remaining in the second quarter, Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan fumbled the ball shortly after the snap. Washington LB Perry Riley came up with it to give the Redskins the ball near their own 30-yard line.
This is a big opportunity for the Redskins. Can their offense — which has produced 64 total yards thus far — capitalize?
Redskins take early lead on Kerrigan INT return for TD
Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan has a tendency* to leap into the air to try to block passes thrown by the opposing team's quarterback and instead returning to the ground with an interception. He did it again just now and returned the ball 28 yards for his second career touchdown and the Redskins' third defensive touchdown of the season. Per Mark Maske, that marks the first time since 1999 that Washington has tallied three defensive touchdowns in a single season.
*Last year, Kerrigan tipped an Eli Manning pass, intercepted it and returned it nine yards for a touchdown against the Giants.

Behind a very solid performance by their defense, the Redskins take a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter against the Falcons.
First quarter takeaway: Offenses sputtering in surprising defensive struggle
The Redskins are, surprisingly, in a defensive struggle with the Falcons.
The Falcons came out and moved the ball well initially. But then they decided to take a shot deep and Matt Ryan's pass fell incomplete. From there, Atlanta has sputtered on offense. But the Redskins, too, are having trouble moving the ball.
Still, the Redskins should be happy the longer they can keep the game close, and they're performing well on defense and on special teams—a rare development for them this season.
Redskins-Falcons scoreless after first quarter
Depending on your perspective, either both defenses have performed well … or neither offense has been particularly effective thus far. Washington's defense has tackled well and limited yards after the catch. Josh Wilson, in particular, has made a few key plays. Will be interesting to see how well the Redskins respond once Atlanta starts making some offensive adjustments.
Where's the pressure? Why, there it is.
If Matt Ryan had any more time to stand in the pocket, he could knit a sweater. #RedskinsTalk
— TheHogs.net (@TheHogsdotNet) October 7, 2012
Update: And there it is! Pressure!
About Santana Moss …
Both announcers think Santana is RGIII's "money man." Santana is averaging 2.5 catches/game during the RGIII era.
— Mr. Irrelevant (@MrIrrelevantDC) October 7, 2012
Alfred Morris off to another solid start
Hey, have you all heard of this Alfred Morris guy? Seems like the rookie's off to a good start here in Washington. Morris gained 27 yards on two carries in the Redskins' first drive. Then QB Robert Griffin III got drilled by two Falcons defenders for a sack. And TE Fred Davis couldn't corrall a third down pass.
But Morris, yeah. He's doing well. Focus on that for now.
Redskins protect heavily against the pass on Falcons' first drive
So far, the Redskins are opting for the bend-but-don't-break approach on defense in an attempt to contain Atlanta's passing attack. Washington is trading applying pressure to Falcons QB Matt Ryan in the pocket for keeping extra defenders back in pass coverage. The Redskins gave up a few short passes on that first drive, but nothing major. The Falcons tested Josh Wilson on a long pass attempt to Julio Jones, but the pass fell incomplete. Ryan overthrew his intended receiver a few plays later on third and long.
Can the Redskins win this game? Vote.
Yep, the Redskins' secondary leaves a lot to be desired. It would seem that if you're playing a "Matty Ice" drinking game, you're going to be in the bag by the third quarter. But, as I often remind a Redskins fan who's a friend of the Post's blogs, stuff happens. Maybe the Falcons will have a little bit of dome shock today. And it starts getting more difficult to stay unbeaten about Week 5. Make your pick and tell me why, in the jibba-jabba section of the blog (aka the comments section) or on Twitter.
Week 5: Redskins vs. Falcons
The Redskins and Falcons are tied, 7-7, at halftime at FedEx. Washington had an opportunity to build a 10-0 lead, but Billy Cundiff missed a 31-yard field goal wide right. Atlanta responded with a quick score. That said, the Redskins' defense has performed fairly well thus far.
Perhaps the most critical question entering Washington's game Sunday against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons is how well the Redskins' beleaguered secondary will hold up against Matt Ryan and his potent passing attack.
Ryan and Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III have identical completion percentages (69.4 percent), which ranks second in the NFL. However, Ryan has attempted 23 more passes and thrown for seven more touchdowns than has Griffin.
The Falcons certainly won't hesitate to try to spread the ball around Sunday against a Washington defense that has allowed an NFL-high 13 passing touchdowns and more passing yards (1,305) than all but one team in the league.
Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather will sit out his fifth game of the season Sunday after re-injuring his left knee in a pre-game collision with wide receiver Aldrick Robinson last week at Tampa Bay. Cornerback Cedric Griffin also won't play in Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury.
Cornerback DeAngelo Hall missed Friday's practice with the flu, though he is expected to play against the Falcons, who selected Hall with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Hall spent four seasons with Atlanta.
The Washington secondary will have its hands full monitoring wideouts Roddy White and Julio Jones, as well as tight end Tony Gonzalez and tailback Michael Turner. How well the Redskins pass defense fares may go a long way toward determining whether Washington can snap a seven-game home losing streak.
We'll post updates throughout. Enjoy the game.

text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 34894506 LA English T1 Purcell : a biography A1 Keates, Jonathan,, PB Northeastern University Press PP Boston YR 1996 SN 155553287X 9781555532871 AB Henry Purcell (1659-1695) is the greatest of all English composers and a pivotal figure in European musical history. In this rich and colorful biography, Jonathan Keates deftly traces Purcell's life and artistry against the backdrop of the turbulent political, religious, theatrical, and social movements of his time. Purcell's musical genius both embraced and transcended the variable moods and tensions of Restoration England, and gave the period and the culture an. Unforgettable voice. With great skill and historical understanding, Keates follows Purcell through his extraordinarily prolific career, from chorister at the Chapel Royal, to composer for the theater and the court, to writer of sacred music, chamber music, and the triumphant Dido and Aeneas, the first British opera. Keates considers Purcell's musical studies with Pelham Humfrey and John Blow as well as his adaptation of Matthew Locke's innovative and colorful style. He. Provides a superb critical appreciation of Purcell's music in all its forms. Keates also discusses the musical history of the period, including the influence of French and Italian composers, whose music blended with and modified native traditions.

Lost Bolt /Screw and Nut from Binding
Hey All,
Went on a run earlier today and noticed my strap on my bindings came loose. Realized that I had actually lost the screw keeping the strap together.
So here I ask for your expertise on where I could find this part.
Perhaps Home Depot? Anyone have a part number?
I don't want to go ahead and invest on brand new bindings just yet when all I am missing is a screw holding it together.
The nut and bolt seems pretty unique.
Bindings: LTD branded (I know they're not the best but they suffice)
Bolt is 1" long
Cant hurt to shoot them and email and see if they will just send you a new bolt for free or I'm sure for next to nothing.
If not I have a hard time beleiveing that someone at home depot couldnt get you one at least close to that size if not the exact one.
Guess my best bet is Home Depot.
Hockey store. Those blind nuts are in all the helmets.
Try the repair shop at your local hill, or your local shop. Both will typically have a bunch of loose bits, might get a match or something close.
Take the nut/bolt from the other binding and go to the hardware store....find a similar or close t-nut and bolt. Or ebay or some on-line fastner place. Fortunately we have very great hardware, fastner, marine and all kinds of stores and pretty much all within a mile of my house. And I save all kinds of screws, nails, bolts and crap. If you get hard up, pm me a pic and the dimensions and I'll look in my tool box that has nothing but sb parts. Btw, checking your ride after a ride is a good thing to do and loctite or just some of your mom's old finger nail polish will work great...just a small drop on the threads when you put it togather or use a nylon lock nut. btw...use stainless steel or some quality alloy if you can...try to avoid cheap chineese parts.

yep, i also like to chop and change a bit from time to time.
you know if chok still around havnt seen anything from her for a while? or most of nt saw some jano a few weeks ago but other than that squat

is sb still on it or they slowin down ?
i luv 90s flava,
dope coulr schemes an solid letters,
im sure they are pretty bait, looking for fame posting up flicks and vids all over the net. still they should caught at some stage and the courts will probably make an example out of them aswell. im sure it wouldnt be to hard to dig up loads of evidence.
i reckon sb have peaked (thank god). it seems modern crews never seem to last more than a couple of years before they morph into some new equally shitty venture.
sb were cunts,
everything been quiet round here,
even wmb calmed down
The london scene sounds banging,i need to sort my shit out and go outside and attack stuff.
haha yeah they both got caught holds on the bus n dunno how lask did but now theyr sory n asbo .. ever see ct?or wec n no is a fukin lil toy
wmb basically turned into sfl. 90s was something special around here: faze, temp, zonk, figs, skan, diet and chop but to name a few.
havent heard of any of them nero.
did anyone watch big brother, the blonde one cheeky grl! umm.
haha yeah aint hit london yet but enough about them when will we be privledged enough to see you ish man im fukin curios as fuck

I think it depends on your co workers. At different times, during my 10 years in the same office (& on different shifts), I have had co workers encourage it and ones fall apart over it. Normally the co workers who come in and rarely move, for the entire 12 hours, have a problems with it. One in particular claims it makes her a nervous wreck, and demands that you stop or sit down. She wants everyone motionless, in their chairs.
We have a separate room away from phones and radios (not too far) that has some small exercise equipment in it. You can go there and stretch or do whatever. I normally walk the stairs, and just move around for a bit.
Our employers are huge on this wellness kick, and want everyone to be healthy, yet want people in our office to only take 4 breaks during the 12 hour shift. I disagree. It is recommended by numerous doctors that people who work long shift should get up once an hour and move. Sitting that long, plus the stress, can cause major physical problems. We don't even get a real lunch break so I take my "30 minutes" for lunch, divide, and use it as extra short breaks.
I dare them to argue with my logic.
When I hear terms like "
" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

This week's featured product combines two classic styles of office organizers into one piece, bulletin boards and magnetic message boards! The magnetic bulletin boards by Umbra can be used with magnets and also with push pins, thanks to a hidden soft backing. This is a great organizer for the home, office, dorm room, school and more! I think this organizer is especially helpful for students, giving them two ways to hang their school work and personal notes. They may want to use magnets to hold their homework, so that they don't have to poke holes in it, and leave the thumb tacks for notes and reminders. The modern silver finished metal design makes a nice design focal point on any wall, great for the home office too!
Here are more some tips on choosing home organizers:
· Style – Don't sacrifice style, there are so many different options on the market these days. Choose from wall mounted hardwood organizers to leather table and countertop models! Let your home organizer, whether mounted to the wall or sitting on a table, be part of your home decor scheme!
· Materials – Choose something that fits your decor style, and also something that is easy to clean or dust. Metal, wood and even plastic are great choices in this department.
· Capacity and Configuration – Before shopping, think of all the types of items you will need to store in your organizer. For example, do you need a mail sorter for bills or perhaps a magazine section for incoming catalogs and periodicals? Look for models that are multi purpose, like this magnetic bulletin board. Or are you simply in need a of a message board for the family to use together? If so, consider a small chalkboard for a fun, whimsical feel on any wall – especially great in the kitchen for menu planning!

Non-equilibrium adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces from polyelectrolyte solutions

The poly(2-vinylpyridine) layer was established at the Pyrex glass/water interface with periodic phases of adsorption/desorption runs observed over several days. This was evidenced by determining the concentration of radio-labelled molecules in the solution equilibrating the glass beads as a function of time (the effluent) while the same radio-labelled polymer was slowly supplied by injecting the polymer solution into the reactor containing the adsorbent at a controlled extremely slow rate. Although the adsorption (or the desorption) steps seemed to present some periodic character, they were better correlated with the successive bulk concentration thresholds that were established with time when the initial surface was free of polymer at time zero. Even when the adsorbent was coated at different degrees, desorption steps were correlated to the overstepping of decreasing concentration thresholds. Adsorption and desorption runs were attributed to the existence of different typical interfacial conformations of the adsorbed macromolecules that only can be stabilised in the adsorbed state when the layer was "equilibrated" with the polymer solution of a certain concentration. Macromolecule were definitely adsorbed when the reconformation process led to a flat conformation (trains). Macromolecules adsorbed with a conformation close to their solution conformation may be desorbed as a result of the reconformation process affecting previously adsorbed neighbour molecules (in the case of partially coated surfaces at time zero of injection). Macromolecules with loops and tails were retained on the surface when the polymer concentration in the bulk was progressively increased (for uncoated surfaces at time zero of injection). All these effect were attributed to the combined influence of topological effects on adsorption and reconformation of adsorbed macromolecules that characterise the non-equilibrium adsorption processes.

Tonight, President Obama will inform the American people, that while there is no Mission Accomplished in Iraq, there is a Mission sort of concluded rather than accomplished. He will note that US forces are leaving Iraq and should all be gone–or at least most of them–by the end of 2011. They will leave behind gobs of trucks and other equipment as well as a government that still is in limbo despite having had an election six months ago that no one appears willing to say they won or lost. Let's get this straight: there is no effective government in the country, there are dozens of people daily being killed by al-Qaeda, the Sunnis and Shiites hate one another and will not cooperate, but we have accomplished something– Saddam Hussein is no longer in charge of the country. Does one get the feeling that we will be going, but not really going or that we will be staying, but not exactly remaining?
He will also note the presence this week in Washington of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. They will meet and talk. Of course, they could just as readily sent transcripts of the last time they "talked." The only certainty about Israel-Palestinian meetings is that NO MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Ailing Journalism in Ailing Times
Posted on Jul 5, 2010
By T.L. Caswell
(Page 3)
Publisher Hartenstein stands by the special section and sees nothing wrong in what the newspaper did. Business, it seems, is business. And apparently the Los Angeles Times is now primarily about business rather than journalism, at least in the mind of Eddy Hartenstein, a former head of satellite television provider DirecTV who became the leader of the newspaper in 2008. Hartenstein, it should be noted, never has written a news article or copy-edited one on deadline, but he's a whiz of a businessman.
I can almost hear a few readers of this article telling me to lighten the hell up and not take this advertising joke so damned seriously. My reply is, thanks but no thanks: It's not something to be light about, and it is damned serious because the issue lies at the core of proper journalism, a pillar of American society. If it's a joke it's not a good one in context.
Stuff like what was in the special section is worth a laugh in articles or video clips from the satirical website The Onion (as I write this The Onion's cover contains a "news" article headed "Restoration of 'Star Spangled Banner' Uncovers Horrifying New Verses"). Ditto for Andy Borowitz's fake news that appears under that prominent label on Truthdig. But fake news doesn't make me smile when I see it in the pages of the L.A. Times, nor would I chuckle if I saw it in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.
Some folks higher in the social food chain than I am are similarly upset by the fabricated section. The next day, July 2, the LAT business section published a short article headlined "Supervisors protest Times ad sections; Lawmakers say promotions that resemble news pages harm credibility." We live in strange days when a county governing board has to lecture a newspaper on journalistic ethics!
Actually, the word advertisement was not exactly "on top of the page" on the section cover; it was three inches from the top edge of the page and under three lines of type and a Benday rule. And a single word one-eighth of an inch high surely does not qualify as "large" when it is dwarfed by ginormous type and photos.
At least a few Times readers also were displeased. An LAT blog named Readers' Representative Journal: A Conversation on Newsroom Ethics and Standards quoted some of them July 2.
(By clicking on the hyperlink atop the copy block immediately above, you can see the top parts of the fake section and the real section. The image does not contain the part showing the previously mentioned destruction near a Universal gate, or the second photo, which depicted two people facing an area littered with destroyed and smoking automobiles.)
The Wrap website observed July 1 that this is not the first time the LAT has caused a dust-up over advertising.

So you're like the guy "who truly loves his wife and truly loves his girlfriend too. (That image will probably cost me any wives, girlfriends and champions of holy wedlock who are reading this". Apart from the fact that you've just alienated any LGBT readers (interesting how the literate UK press refers to 'partners' and doesn't bother getting into gender), it is worth pointing out that you assume a lot of your readers, most of whom likely wish you'd just stop congratulating yourself on how seriously your imagined readers are taking you and Get. To. Your. Point. But no, on you go, rhetorical flourishes and college-magazine standard emphases aloft. I suggest you take the story very seriously, and yourself very much less so.

I still subscribe to the LA Times, but hold my nose when I read it. As a welcome supplement, mainly for sports and business, I also get USA Today delivered in the morning along with the Times down here near Laguna Beach. I wish the Times would become affiliated with USC or UCLA and then be operated as a non-profit. That is the only chance for its revival in my view

So the "Fourth Estate" turns-out to be just one more fifth-column carrier of "the industrial disease, and another institutional icon at-last reveals its feet of clay blatantly enough that even the sincerest of true believers can no longer escape having to admit what's been obvious to many for a long time already. No "news" there. No doubt legions of faithful Catholics can sympathize with Mr. Caswell, along with maybe hundreds of millions of Americans faced with the in-your-face corruption and malevolence of corporate "governance."
Here in what Derrick Jensen aptly calls the "ENDGAME" of civilization, anybody with any sense knows things will certainly get a whole helluva lot worse before they can start to get even a little bit better. If we're lucky it'll happen soon and fast. If we're not, this is going to be a real bitter lesson in WHY it's not nice to fuck-with Mother Nature. Either way, can you sing "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie."?

Can you trademark the color of a shoe? That's the question behind a conflict between the luxury brands Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent this week.
Louboutin made famous shoes with red soles. But YSL earlier this year began selling shoes with the same look. And now lawyers for Louboutin filed an appeal against a ruling earlier this year that YSL's shoes were on the up-and-up.
In today's Mid-day Extra, we speak with Staci Riordan of Fox Rothschild in Los Angeles about the legal details of the case.
Louboutin is arguing that it has a right over the red sole because of secondary meaning -- a term used by lawyers to describe the phenomenon of consumers seeing that red bottom at a Hollywood premiere, or on a city sidewalk, and instantly knowing which designer makes it.
Riordan says that Louboutin is unlikely to win the appeal, and that this case in particular is different from other fashion trademark situations.
If the decision is reversed, however, Riordan said it could have far reaching consequences in the fashion industry -- just imagine Reebok claiming the right to all black soled sneakers.

Q: I would like to know if there is a way to burn videos to a CD with a regular burner?
A: Well….you could… but I don't know if you'd want to do that.
DVDs are optimized to store the massive amounts of data that a movie holds. They can hold up to 25 times more information primarily because you can record on both sides. It's also 9 times faster in displaying this information. The biggest advantage, as you would probably suspect, is the image quality. On a DVD, it's full screen and motion video, can display wide-screen and even multi-camera angles. That's better than watching television.
Along with offering superior cinema quality video and better audio, it allows for multiple channels of audio. That's why you can hear a movie in English as well as French, Spanish, and Cantonese if you like. And we can't forget 5.1 surround sound.
None of these features are available using a CD. If you were to put that information on a CD, you'd have to compress it down to ¼ to ½ size of the screen resolution. You'll also probably have to convert it to a format that would allow it to fit on one CD. Otherwise you're looking at breaking it up into a multiple CD-ROMs.
The emergence of DVD-ROMs is an indication where the new standard is being set. DVD-ROMs are backwards compatible which means they can play CD-ROMs. However, you can't play DVDs on a CD-ROM. All of these things should be taken into consideration if you plan on legally (I had to add that) burn videos.

No For Sampdoria Starlet From Napoli
After missing out on Sampdoria's proficient striker Mauro Icardi in January, Napoli have ruled out joining a bidding war for the youngster in the summer.
Napoli made a €12 million bid last month, but were unable to solidify a deal for Icardi. Now it looks like Inter are in pole position to sign the striker and bring him to the San Siro for just over €15 million.
Napoli have declared the club will not be drawn into a bidding war for Icardi, and sporting director Riccardo Bigon recently stated, "I don't know what his agents are doing, but we will not be involved in any auction.
"We have our market strategies and we're keeping to them."
Recent reports have linked Icardi with an almost done deal with Inter, however, it looks like the player has yet to make a definite decision.
The 19-year old is getting his first extended run of senior team football this season, and has scored eight goals in 18 games.

Moldy Skylight
We have lived in out house for 3 years, nothing has changed building or weather wise.. We noticed that there was some drops of water on the floor under our skylight.. So upon closer inspection the wall surrounding the skylight is moldy about 1/2" around the frame of the window.
I called out of window company to quote replacing it, and they told me there is nothing wrong with it. He said its just condensation, and its due to the fact the skylight is in our kitchen above the stove/sink area so water moisture rises up into the skylight area.
He said there is not much I can do about this unless we find a way to control the moisture in the air and other than that its a poor placement for a skylight for reasons exactly like this on..
I have never heard of this before, any anyone put some truth to it? Also any ideas on how to fix the issue, If I am going to have a mold problem, I am just going to pull the skylight for good when I have the house re-roofed here in a couple months..
He is correct.
Stuff like cooking, washing dishes, opening the dishwasher, boiling pasta, etc will generate copious amounts of moisture.
If you can't do anything to control it (i.e. run a fan, open a door, etc), the moisture will go up and hit the cold surface and condense.
You could paint any wood surfaces with a mold resistant paint or put a small fan in that area to vent that space to outside the home.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news in this case.
Is there at least a vent over the stove?
Could always run a dehumidifyer.
unfortunately its not a vent to outside above the stove, its one of the recirculating vents, which I am not sure does much of anything. and due to its location there is not much that can be done to easily vent it to the outside.
I could possibly install a tiny vent up in the skylight area that is constantly running to vent that area to the outside?? maybe that would be the best and easiest??
Get a vent in conjunction with the roof install or get a venting skylight.
If you can get electricity up there for a powered fan, you should be fine.
It will help to make sure that the walls of the skylight shaft are properly insulated so that they stay above dew point.
A venting skylight might be nice, it get SO hot up there in the summer I dont expect it is good for the walls and such.. I went up to clean the window on a 90* day and I came down soaked in sweat it must of been 120*+ up there haha..
Best time to do it is with the roof.
Get the solar powered ones and you get the tax credit.

I had a similar problem as I have a skylight in my kitchen just in front of the sink and the stove. I insulated the skylight tunnel in the attic but plan to do a better job this spring and will use rigid foam insulation. The main thing that helped me is installing a grate above the opening at the ceiling and then installing a clear piece of plexiglass that sits on top of the grate which keeps the warm humid air in the kitchen from rising into the skylight tunnel.
that is interesting, did you seal it at all or just let everything sit there in the frame?
It is not sealed but to do so would be a simple matter of gluing some self stick weather stripping along the edges of the plexiglass. The gap is probably less than 1/8" around the perimeter, small enough to keep the majority of warm air from rising into the skylight shaft.
I'd like to just clarify the skylight issue. Most of the time you will have fiberglass surrounding the enclosure in the attic, which is VERY difficult to install correctly, even for somebody who does it every day. Also, it is a major air leakage point and is rarely air sealed. Also, if the gasket around the window is damaged anywhere, or if there is no thermal break in the framing of the window, that will be an issue.
Best bet is to remove the insulation around the framing from the attic side and install either rigid foamboard or two part spray foam. If you do foamboard, be sure to airseal after to make sure it is effective. That will solve the issue in most cases.
If that doesn't work, you need to investigate the window itself. If the gasket on the double pane is not intact, it needs to be addressed. Also, if there is no thermal break in the window framing, there will be thermal bridging and high chance for condensation. At that point, replacement or additional venting is probably your only solutions.

Energy & Environment
Smart Air
EPA is delivering cities and their fast-growing suburbs intimidating lessons on the consequences of sprawling development.
State and local officials are discovering that environmental policy and growth management are closely linked. For those who haven't figured that out yet, the federal Clean Air Act is delivering intimidating lessons on the environmental consequences of sprawling development.
In Texas, for instance, environmentalists are threatening to go to court to halt road projects unless Houston and Galveston control growth that encourages smog-creating traffic. And they've got their models--one of them being Georgia.
Two years ago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal transportation funding because Atlanta and its fast-growing suburbs persistently violate the law's ground-level ozone standard. Desperate to keep money flowing for cherished highway projects, the Georgia legislature within a year empowered Governor Roy Barnes to create and enforce the country's most ambitious regional growth management strategy.
Controlled by the governor, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority holds the power to dictate land use as well as transportation decisions in the 13-county Atlanta metropolitan area. That's a momentous change, given that communities in Georgia and other Sun Belt states have taken it for granted that pell-mell growth validates local civic virtue. But the bottom line is that EPA rewarded Georgia earlier this year by approving the state's revamped clean air plan. After consistently missing clean air deadlines over the past 30 years, the region and its local chambers of commerce and industrial groups have been notified that regulators are getting serious.
It is not a prospect that everyone appreciates. "Atlanta's recent experience reflects a chilling trend toward the federal takeover of metropolitan regions," cautions Angela M. Antonelli, director of environmental and economic studies for the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Environmentalists respond that the Clean Air Act's hammers are finally working the way Congress intended. EPA meanwhile has begun studying how to give states and regions credits toward meeting air- quality goals when they adopt growth controls that reduce automobile exhaust emissions. In one possible precedent, federal regulators granted Atlanta permission to build a $50 million interstate highway bridge that will make it feasible to redevelop an abandoned inner-city steel mill near downtown. Since people living and working at the 138- acre site wouldn't drive cars so much, EPA's modeling calculates that the Atlantic Steel project would create 45 percent fewer smog-causing emissions than a comparable development on the city's greenfield fringes.
That makes sense. The air-quality benefits may be speculative, but there are many sound reasons to rebuild inner-city brownfields while preserving greenfields on outer metropolitan boundaries. Georgia officials no doubt could have figured that out without wasting time in convoluted negotiations with federal air-quality planners. EPA has more consequential things to do than second-guess local land use decisions. But free-market enthusiasts warn that Atlanta's struggles show that federal regulators will jump at the chance to override county and municipal authority.
In too many places, however, developers and Realtors still hold disproportionate power to bend local land use planning to their interests. You can see what that's created by driving on traffic- choked roads through monotonous urban spaces from Florida to Washington State. You can also breathe the smog, and you might end up drinking contaminants that wash into water supplies from the congested streets, badly graded parking lots and overloaded septic tanks that poorly planned development leaves behind.
Georgia, Maryland and a number of other states already are trying to prevent that from happening over and over again by implementing smart- growth policies. State environmental agencies have spent the past three decades just trying to catch up with the air and water contamination that's the consequence of past industrial and residential growth that city and county governments have sanctioned. At least in some states, the environmental commissioners are suggesting it's time that they start having a say before cities and counties accommodate more pollution that their agencies will have to clean up.
Most likely, mayors and councilors won't take directives from state capitals any more kindly than they've accepted mandates from Washington, D.C. Builders and Realtors have a point when they argue that most homebuyers still dream of living in typical suburban neighborhoods. But the same people now also demand that open space be saved, and they're increasingly aware that past development patterns have created disjointed communities with degraded air and water quality.
Communities that no longer offer an appealing--and environmentally wholesome--quality of life will be the future's economic losers. Smart growth can sell, and state and local officials shouldn't need EPA to force them to reach that conclusion.

High School Teacher, Accused of Having Sex With Student, Surrenders to Police
The teacher, Erin Sayar, an English teacher at James Madison High School, in the Midwood neighborhood, is accused of having sex with the boy at least eight times in the past school year, according to a report issued by Richard J. Condon, the special commissioner for investigation for the city's schools. The Daily News reported on the case on Thursday.
Sandy Silverstein, a spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney's office, said he expected charges to include third-degree
An effort to reach Ms. Sayar, 36, for comment was unsuccessful.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bloomberg endorsed a bill that would give school superintendents in the state — including
The current system leaves the decision up to an arbitrator chosen by the district and the teachers' union.
The issue of inappropriate behavior by teachers in New York City schools has attracted much attention in recent months, following the arrests of a number of school employees accused of sexual offenses involving students.
In an interview on the John Gambling radio show on Thursday morning, Mr. Walcott said he would "never accept" teachers having any sexual contact with students, regardless of whether or not it was illegal.
The student in the James Madison case and his mother began legal action in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn against the city's
Marge Feinberg, an Education Department spokeswoman, said Ms. Sayar was reassigned in January to an administrative office away from classrooms. "We're in the process of seeking her termination," she said.
The city's investigation into Ms. Sayar began in January after a girl who had been romantically involved with the student at the center of the case filed a complaint with the school about comments Ms. Sayar had made to him on
The girl told investigators that she had exchanged Facebook passwords with the boy and had read a series of conversations between him and Ms. Sayar on the site.
In one message to the teacher, he wrote, "i love you so much," according to the report. The student told investigators that he had received permission from his gym teacher to miss class and meet with Ms. Sayar for tutoring twice a week. The report indicated that Ms. Sayar was married and had a young child.
Ms. Sayar and the student made a total of 19 calls to each other and exchanged 3,856 text messages over about a month, according to the report.
One night in December, the student sent Ms. Sayar a text message asking her to come to his apartment. She arrived after midnight, the report said, and the student came down and got in her S.U.V., where they had sex.
James Madison High School's principal, Joseph A. Gogliormella, declined to comment on the case.

I recently attended a lecture by the Japanese architect Ryue Nishizawa, who's part of the Pritzker-Prize-winning duo SANAA. It was part of the Daniels Faculty's Bulthaup Lecture Series, which you must know about if you're in Toronto and interested in literature review writing contemporary architecture. Next up: Manuel Aires Mateus, Jan. 15.
Anyway: Nishizawa mentioned a fascinating new project, a satellite for the Louvre in the town of Lens. SANAA's design arranged the artworks and artifacts on display in one, long, continuous hall, with contemporaneous pieces arranged next to each other (and works with thematic links arranged in front of each other). It makes for a long, chronological walk through art history. It's a fascinating gambit, and brilliantly executed, to judge from new photos of the completed interior up at Architizer.
This is provocative, and I think a useful corrective to anyone who thinks the ROM's Lee-Chin Crystal is an innovative museum design.
Sorry for the extended absence of this blog; more soon, I promise.

There have never been more treatment options for dental patients than there are today. With all the choices that dentists and patients have, there are sometimes simple treatments that can be overlooked. There has been much discussion in the orthodontic literature regarding the practice of upper and/or lower second molar extraction, followed by third molar replacement.1-5 However, the idea of third molar replacement of extracted second molars is often overlooked as a restorative option.
When a permanent second molar is grossly carious and painful, there are typically 2 treatment options. One option is saving the tooth with root canal therapy, buildup, and crown. The other option is extraction. Although saving the tooth is usually the most conservative choice, the procedures to do so are relatively complicated, costly, and can sometimes necessitate possible future treatment as well. On the other hand, the more radical choice of extracting the tooth is relatively simple and inexpensive. This case report shows an actual example of how a more radical treatment can actually be a realistic and conservative option for the patient.
Figure 1. A 16-year-old patient presented in pain from a grossly carious tooth No. 15 (January 2007).
Figure 2. A "radical" treatment plan recommending extraction of No. 15 (instead of salvaging the tooth with root canal therapy, a core, and crown) was presented and accepted as the "conservative" choice.
Figures 3. Fourteen months later (April 2008), tooth No. 16 erupted into the space once occupied by tooth No. 15.
Figure 4. Tooth No. 16 moved into excellent occlusion and function (April 2008).
A 16-year-old Hispanic male, with no medical contraindications, came into our office in January 2007 for a comprehensive oral exam and a full series of periapical and bitewing radiographs. The upper left permanent second molar (tooth No. 15) was grossly carious and painful with the caries extending into the pulp (Figures 1 and 2).
We determined that there were 2 treatment choices for this tooth: it could be saved with root canal therapy and restorative treatment including a core and crown; or it could be extracted. There are pros and cons to either treatment option. Root canal therapy is typically more time-consuming, more complicated, and more costly than extraction, which is usually quick, simple, and relatively inexpensive. Another consideration is that after the root canal therapy and all the restorative procedures are done, the tooth may even require additional treatments in the future. Still, in most situations other than cost, it is certainly preferable to save a permanent tooth rather than remove it. Since tooth No. 16 was unerupted and appeared that it would most likely erupt and move into the position of tooth No. 15, extraction of tooth No. 15 was presented as a possible treatment option to the patient's mother and the patient.
It was explained to the patient and his mother that although no guarantee could be made, if tooth No. 15 were removed, there was a good probability that tooth No. 16 would erupt into the former space occupied by tooth No. 15. They were informed that this would occur sometime soon after the extraction was performed. Although root canal therapy, core, and crown are usually excellent options, these treatments sometimes fail, resulting in work that may need to be redone and/or revised. Furthermore, sometimes extensively treated teeth require removal in the future. A virgin tooth, in proper position and without pathology, would almost always be preferable to a tooth that has had extensive or complicated treatment.
After discussion of the various options, the patient's mother, the patient, and the treating dentist were in agreement that extraction of tooth No. 15 would be the best treatment in this situation. Tooth No. 15 was anesthetized and extracted without complications at the same visit in January 2007. The next time the patient came to the office was 14 months later in April 2008. Tooth No. 16, a virgin tooth, which was confirmed to be present and unerupted in the radiograghs prior to extraction of tooth No. 15, had erupted into tooth No. 15's former position and now provided the patient with excellent occlusion and function (Figures 3 and 4).
In this case, a simple, relatively inexpensive and radical treatment (extraction) yielded a conservative result with the virgin tooth erupting in to replace the extracted tooth. This effectively demonstrates that the least desirable treatment in one case can be the ideal treatment in another case. In patients under 30 years old, when a second molar requires root canal therapy, and there is an unerupted third molar that appears it will erupt normally into the second molar position, extraction of the second molar should be seriously considered as a treatment option.
