Analysis of Burning Candle
J.S. Crompton, L.T. Gritter, S.Y. Yushanov, and K.C. Koppenhoefer
AltaSim Technologies LLC, Columbus, OH, USA
Analysis of burning candles is extremely complex; combustion produces a highly non-linear temperature profile through the flame in which local temperatures may exceed 1400 °C. Heat transfer includes radiation, conduction and convection components and the low melting point of the candle wax leads to a phase change that allows mass transport via capillary flow prior to combustion in the flame. ...

C.W. Foong, J.E. Hustad, J. Løvseth, and O.J. Nydal
Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
In this study, a small scale direct solar thermal energy storage system with secondary reflector is designed and developed. The main advantage of thermal energy storage is that cooking can be carried out during the time when there is little or no sun shine. In addition, no heat transport fluid is needed in this system. A well insulated heat storage should keep the heat for about 24 hours. KNO3 ...

It depends on the hair sensitivity. I know that on mine, it would feel proteiny, as other sea plant things have done. It won't be enough to give someone good nutrition, but it'd be enough to jack up my hair.
At any rate, I wouldn't tell someone not to try it unless their hair was pretty picky about proteins. It isn't heavy duty in that regard.

Dear users of GryffinRoar,
As you can tell from the lack of site updates, life has been quite busy. GRoar requires a lot of time to update and unfortunately we just haven't had that time over the last few months.
We are very much still alive and are still invested in GryffinRoar. However, as much as I'd love to give you all a set date for when the site will be completely updated, I cannot. Life is still hectic and based on our very full inbox, we've missed out on a lot.
To start off, I'll be clearing our inbox. Not because we don't care, but because reading and replying to hundreds (and trust me, there are hundreds) of emails is a daunting and time consuming task. Next, I will use any free time I do have to catch up with the changes on Pottermore. If anyone is willing to email through a brief summary of major changes, I would be forever grateful. Once I have caught up on what I've missed, I'll start site updates.
I'm sure they've changed a lot so we'll most likely need to review all our current pages as well as adding new ones. This is a huge task to undertake so while all of this is happening, all I ask for is your patience.
Thank you for all your support, I really do appreciate it,
P.S Just a reminder that we aren't affiliated with Pottermore. As much as I'd love to reverse some of the changes they've made, they are out of our control.
Also, as much as I love having GryffinRoar as a chat site, please try not to use the poll comment box as a chat box. Every comment gets sent to our inbox, and lately it's been filling up pretty fast. I'll try to have the Great Hall up and running as soon as I can.

I want to share a trading strategy with you that involves stop-losses that will:
1. Show you how you to pre-define your risk on any trade; and
2. More importantly, under the right circumstances, it will enable you to use massive leverage without massive risk.
(Point and) Figuring Out Your Stop-Loss
For me, there are two types of stops — stops that I use when I first enter a trade, and trailing stops that I use to protect profits. This article will address the former.
One of the great aspects of point-and-figure (P&F) charts is that support, resistance and breakout points are easily identified.
Below is a chart on China Medical Technologies (CMED).
We got a "sell" alert on this one a few weeks ago over at Sector Hunter when it was trading at $15.89. Since then, it has traded as low as $11.41. This trade is no longer actionable, and I'm sharing it with you for illustrative purposes only.
Let me give you some background on what you are seeing on the chart.
P&F charts measure the battle between supply and demand; demand is represented by Xs and supply by Os. The charts strip out the minor day-to-day moves and only change columns from Xs to Os, and vice versa, after a set series of "box" moves.
The above chart is a three-box reversal chart, with each box representing 50 cents. On the chart, we can see that the most recent column of Os shows a low of $15. It would take a $1.50 move, which would be the same as a three-box reversal from the low of $15 to $16.50, to reverse the stock back to Xs.
(Important note: The box size changes as the stock price increases and decreases. Between $20 and $100, the typical box size is $1; below $20, it's 50 cents.)
Use the Bull, Bear Lines to Plot Your Profit Points
The blue (Bullish Support Line) and red (Bearish Resistance Line) lines represents long-term support (blue line) and long-term resistance (red line).
Typically, the lowest-risk shorts occur in stocks trading below their Bearish Resistance (red) Line.
Whenever you source a new trading idea, you must attach a stop-loss point to it. In the case of CMED, this was relatively easy to do.
We can see that the last column of Xs was at $16.50, and a move to $17 would be a double-top breakout.
Using a break above a recent price high is a terrific stop-loss tool when going short. The same can be done when going long with the exception that, on a long, you would place your stop-loss right below the most recent low.
By placing our stop one entire box above the previous high, we remove much of the ambiguity of how far we should specifically place our stop above the most-recent high.
If the stock were to tick $17, it would be a crystal-clear violation of the downtrend. It would mark the first time that the stock was able to make a higher high since peaking at $26, and this would be a strong indication that something had changed.
In this instance, the stock was already trading very near its stop-loss point, offering an excellent risk/reward opportunity.
The Tighter the Stop, the Bigger Position You Can Take
However, sometimes a trade will be far-removed from its stop-loss point.
In these cases, I will either greatly reduce my position size so that, if I do get stopped out, I am risking no more than 1%-3% of my total portfolio value. Or, more likely, I'll bypass the trade and focus on a situation with a much better risk/reward profile.
Remember, the closer you are to your stop, the bigger the position you can take.
Let me explain. Imagine you have a $10,000 portfolio and you are using a 3%-risk rule. This means that, when stopped out, you cap your loss at $300. (Keep in mind that gap moves can and do happen, of course.)
Using the above portfolio example to establish a short position in a stock, assuming that the stock is trading at $15.89 and your stop is at $17, it means that your risk is $1.11 per share. Your risk capital is $300 (3% of $10,000); to find your position size, we simply divide $300 by $1.11, which equals 270.
This means that you can short 270 shares and, if you get stopped at $17, your loss is capped at $300 — or 3% of your total portfolio value.
Now let's imagine that the stock is at $16.75 and your stop-loss is still at $17. This means that the risk is now only 25 cents per share. Your risk capital is still $300, but your risk per share is now only 25 cents, whereas before it was $1.11. We divide $300 by 25 cents and we get 1,200 shares!
Under this scenario, we get to take a position four times as large (1,200 shares) for the same amount of risk!
Why You Don't Need a Big Win Rate to Make Big Bucks
If we get stopped out at $17, we lose 25 cents a share on 1,200 shares, or $300. This is a savvy way to rapidly amplify a small trading account into a large one.
When you have a small account, it pays to be patient and wait for situations such as these. If you are going to take on big leverage, then this is a much smarter way to do it.
When you stack the odds in your favor like this, you don't need a high-percentage win rate to make a lot of money. If we assume an average gain of $2 per winner and average loss of 25 cents per loser, even with an 80% losing rate you still come out ahead!
If you take 10 trades, each for 1,200 shares, and you have eight losers for 25 cents and two winners with an average gain of $2, you would have lost $2,400 on the losers, made $4,800 on the winners and netted $2,400, or 24%, on $10,000.
If you compound $10,000 at 24% a year for 20 years, you'd have a $738,641.50 account.
The most-difficult part of this strategy is having the patience and discipline to only target trades that have the best risk/reward parameters. Most people can't do it; they just crave the action too much. They invest for emotional reasons rather than financial ones.
When you are really doing it right, your trading should be devoid of all emotion. The highs and lows come from taking on too much risk and not knowing where you are going to exit a trade if it goes bad on you. However, emotional control is a whole other issue that we will tackle another day!

Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Aug 4, 2011
Tropical Storm Emily whipped southern Haiti with winds and rains Thursday as hundreds of thousands huddled in squalid makeshift camps, some perched precariously on bare, slippery hillsides.
After meandering for a few hours off southern Haiti, the storm was "nudging west northwards, drenching Hispaniola," the Caribbean island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the US National Hurricane Center said.
The Miami-based weather experts have warned of "torrential rain" and "life-threatening flash floods and mudslides" as Emily moves over the impoverished nation.
Authorities cancelled all domestic flights and shut down government buildings, urging Haitians not to leave their homes if possible. The visa section at the US embassy in the capital Port-au-Prince was closed.
Early Thursday, the storm was about 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Port-au-Prince, but the city had so far been spared the worst as heavy rains lashed the southern towns of Jacmel and Cayes.
Haitian officials have hoisted a red alert, fearful some 300,000 Haitians still living in makeshift camps almost 19 months after a catastrophic January 2010 earthquake could face flash-floods and wet, sodden conditions.
The storm had stalled off the coast but began moving forward again at a snail's pace of five miles an hour with some increase in forward speed expected, and packing winds of 50 miles per hour with higher gusts.
Weather experts warned residents to expect up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain in some isolated areas, which could come cascading down hillsides long since stripped bare of trees, used for fuel and building materials.
Haiti's weather service chief Ronald Semelfort warned Emily would be "a great danger for the country still fragile from the January 2010 earthquake."
The US National Hurricane Center said the center of Emily was to hit Haiti's southwestern peninsula later Thursday.
The storm is forecast to dump between six and 12 inches (15-30 centimeters) of rain with isolated amounts of up to 20 inches possible over Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the NHC said.
"Some weakening is possible as Emily interacts with the high terrain of Haiti and eastern Cuba," it said, with "re-strengthening" possible when it moves over the Bahamas.
Coastal areas were warned of a storm surge which will raise water levels by one to three feet and be "accompanied by large and dangerous waves." Shipping has been banned along Haiti's southern coast.
Haiti is still recovering from the devastating 2010 quake, which killed an estimated 225,000 people. The country has also been battling an outbreak of cholera, which has killed 5,506 people and infected 363,117.
About 300 families had already been affected by flooding, and some cholera treatment centers were swept away, officials said. The health ministry urged personnel at such centers to bring their patients to nearby hospitals.
A team of Cuban doctors in Haiti were on standby to prevent any further outbreaks of the water-borne illness.
"People living in unsafe housing will be the worst affected if flooding hits," Harry Donsbach, the earthquake response director in Haiti for the Christian charity group World Vision, said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Landslides are of course a threat, but even simply heavy rain has the potential to worsen the volatile sanitation conditions in camps, which, with cholera still prevalent in Haiti, is a serious concern," Donsbach said.
In the Dominican Republic, a maximum red alert has been sounded across six provinces, and all water and outdoor leisure activities suspended.
Mandatory evacuations were declared in a dozen villages near dams, and Dominican officials warned residents in other areas.
"Residents in high-risk areas, who live next to rivers, streams and creeks... should take precautions and be aware of the recommendations of the relief agencies," the government's office of emergency services said.
The tropical storm warning was also in effect for eastern Cuba, the central Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos islands.
In Cuba, the national Institute of Meteorology said to expect heavy rain from Emily in the far eastern part of the island by Thursday afternoon.
The lead forecaster at the US national weather service, Gerry Bell, said Thursday that residents of the southeastern US state of Florida should "still be on their toes" as the storm still had the potential to hit the area.
In the Pacific Ocean, meanwhile, Hurricane Eugene weakened to a category three storm far off Mexico's western coast, but was heading away from land towards the north-west and into the open sea.

Tropical Storm Emily barrels towards fragile Haiti
Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Aug 3, 2011
Haiti on Wednesday braced for incoming Tropical Storm Emily, urging evacuations ahead of a churning system that could bring flash floods to the nation still recovering from a massive earthquake. A tropical storm warning was in effect for Haiti, the neighboring Dominican Republic, the US territory of Puerto Rico, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos islands, the US National Hurr ... read more

The rescue team, which included the paramilitary Indo-Tibetan Border Force, sifted through boulders and mud as they resumed the search at Solan Nallah near the Himalayan tourist haven Manali, police officer Devinder Kumar told
"So far only 26 bodies have been recovered, while 14 people are still missing and 18 were injured," Kumar said.
"The strategy today is to scour the entire area where the cloudburst occurred right down to the river Beas into which the torrential waters may have washed away the missing persons," he added.
About 250 labourers -- mostly from Nepal and impoverished areas of eastern India -- were sleeping at a construction site for a tunnel when the floods struck early Thursday.
When completed, the Rohtang tunnel will connect Kullu to the Lahaul valley.
Some media reports put the death toll at 40 or higher and said many labourers could have been washed away by the powerful currents.
Tributaries of major rivers have been swollen by floods in the lower areas of the state and the rains have caused landslides in many places.
In July, at least 100 people were feared killed when a workers' camp constructed at a power project in the Kullu district was swamped by a flashflood.
The casualties were also workers, mostly migrant labourers from India's Bihar state and from Nepal.

Clueless Sports Commentator Has No Idea What's Going On
Sports commentator and former soccer player Chris Kamara has a bit of a reputation for not really knowing what's going on, which makes sense when you watch this video of him not having any idea what's happening. He's at a soccer game, and has somehow failed to notice which player has been issued a red card and ejected from the game. Just a small detail.

This is the most wholesome blooper reel we've ever seen. There's no cursing or violence. It's almost less of a blooper reel and more of a "look, basketball players can make friendly jokes" reel. I mean, nobody even hits their head on a door frame, which we secretly assumed happened to basketball players all the time.

This version of the sign spells out the letters of "early." I notice when I do the sign I leave out the letter "A." I also blur my "R" and "L" together. I also tend to trace a counterclockwise circle (from the signer's perspective) in the air. You might see other variations, but the point is lots of people do a "fingerspelled" version of #EARLY.

1. Re: Losing Data Connection on the Lumia 822primortal Dec 4, 2012 8:15 AM (in response to recman76)
So far no issues with mine.
Is it only happening when there is a wifi connection established? Wonder if you remove the wifi connection and see if it continues.
2. Re: Losing Data Connection on the Lumia 822recman76 Dec 4, 2012 8:45 AM (in response to primortal)
I have no idea if is only when my wifi is connected. I leave my wifi connected all time time now that I don't have unlimited data. Why I asked the question, is because it is happening on my wife's phone as well. I will turn my wifi off tonight and see if it happens again.

I want you and your wife to get the most out of your amazing new Nokia Lumina 822's recman76!
Turning off wifi temporarily is a great suggestion from the community. It will also be helpful to test the devices in different areas to determine if it is the handsets themselves or the location.
In addition, it sounds like you may be leaving your devices constantly powered on. We recommend power cycling the devices at least once a day to allow them to refresh with the network.
Please let us know how the devices perform.

Thank you for your response. We have figured out that it is indeed our router that is causing the problem.

Most satisfying has been the community's support, both in terms of raising the funds needed to send the team to Washington and in attending practice sessions to hear the presentations. Last Monday evening, more than 100 sat through the two-and-a-half hour dress rehearsal, applauding loudly as each of the six teams wrapped up their remarks and responded to questions from judges who critiqued their performance. Ladd and Wohlgemuth work with the students not only on the course material provided by the Center for Civic Education, which organizes all aspects of the program and prepares the constitution-related materials, but also on how the students perform. They're taught to be clear, articulate, deliberate and confident when discussing issues dealing with "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution," as the program is called.
The national finals take the form of simulated congressional hearings. During the hearings, groups of students testify as constitutional experts before panels of judges acting as congressional committees, scoring the groups through a performance-based assessment. Topic leaders this year include "What challenges might American constitutional democracy face in the 21st century?" to "What rights does the Bill of Rights protect?" Each hearing begins with a four-minute opening statement by students and is followed by a six-minute period of follow-up questioning during which judges probe the students' depth of knowledge, understanding and their ability to apply constitutional principles. The format provides students an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles while providing the 72 judges who will meet with them at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and in congressional meeting rooms on Capitol Hill with an excellent means of assessing students' knowledge and application to historical and current constitutional issues.
Ladd said that while in Washington, the Amador students will have a chance to explore the nation's capital, learn about government beyond the classroom walls, and meet with elected officials and other dignitaries. Congressman Eric Swalwell will meet with the group next Friday morning and provide a tour of the Capitol. The students will meet with congressional leaders from California on Monday.
The competition will have four different rounds of school teams Saturday and Sunday, with Amador facing judges at 2 p.m. Saturday and then at 8 a.m. Sunday. The 10 finalists among the We the People teams will be announced late Sunday and those 10 teams will vie for top honors Monday on Capitol Hill. The national winner will be announced at a reception late on Monday.
For Ladd, this will be his last trip as Amador's "We the People" coach. A teacher since 1989 and in the Social Studies Department at Amador since 1990, he's been involved with the program since 1992. Wohlgemuth has shared the coaching responsibilities since 1994, and she also plans to step down. Both say it's time to move back to their regular teaching positions "to keep their personal lives in check" after hundreds of extra hours conducting the school's winning "We the People" program.
Finishing first next week in Washington would cap their good work on behalf of students in the "We the People" program.

Impotence/Erectile Dysfunction (cont.)
Illustrations: Surgical Interventions for Erectile Dysfunction
Picture of rigid penile implant. Two rigid cylinders have been placed into the penis. This type of implant has no inflation mechanism but provides adequate rigidity to the penis to allow penetration.
Picture of the three components of inflatable penile implant. This inflatable penile device has three major components. The two cylinders are placed within the penis, a reservoir is placed beneath the rectus muscle, and the pump is placed in the scrotum. When the pump is squeezed, fluid from the reservoir is transferred into the two cylinders, producing a firm erection. Squeezing the top of the pump causes a reversal of flow of the fluid from the cylinders back into the reservoir.
Picture of inflatable penile prosthesis. This inflatable penile prosthesis has fluid located at the base of the device. When the tip of the device is squeezed, the fluid is transferred into the cylinder.

Reader: ShopHouse might inspire you to shop for some Chipotle stock
Did you miss the chance to get in on the ground floor of Chipotle, back when Steve Ells opened his first fast-casual burrito shop on East Evans Avenue? You've got another chance with ShopHouse, the Asian fast-casual concept that Chipotle rolled out last Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Here's the take from Josh:
Over on ProofTrader ( a collaborative stock picking site ) one analyst believes the Shophouse concept will end up being a huge catalyst for Chipotle's stock.
Ells may not have been been able to pick a real winner for America's Next Great Restaurant, with Soul Daddy going down, but it looks like he has one of his own.

London, UK (SPX) Oct 01, 2013
Animals living in marine environments keep to their schedules with the aid of multiple independent-and, in at least some cases, interacting-internal clocks. The findings, presented by two research groups in papers appearing in the Cell Press journals Current Biology and Cell Reports on September 26, suggest that multiple clocks-not just the familiar, 24-hour circadian clock-might even be standard operating equipment in animals.
"The discovery of the circadian clock mechanisms in various terrestrial species from fungi to humans was a major breakthrough for biology," says Charalambos Kyriacou of the University of Leicester, who led one of the two studies on an inter-tidal crustacean known as a speckled sea louse. "The identification of the tidal clock as a largely separate mechanism now presents us with an exciting new perspective on how coastal organisms define biological time."
In the second study, Kristin Tessmar-Raible from the Max F. Perutz Laboratories at the University of Vienna and colleagues describe interactions between the familiar 24-hour circadian clock and a circalunar clock in a marine bristle worm.
"Our results suggest that the bristle worm possesses independent, endogenous monthly and daily body clocks that interact," Tessmar-Raible says. "Taking this together with previous and other recent reports, evidence accumulates that such a multiple-clock situation might be the rule rather than the exception in the animal kingdom."
Kyriacou and colleagues used a combination of environmental and molecular manipulations of the daily clock to show that when the 24-hour circadian clock is disrupted in the sea louse, the 12.4-hour tidal clock keeps right on ticking.
"The surprise was to discover just how hard-wired, robust, and independent the tidal clock is in these animals; it keeps working no matter what we throw at its circadian clock," Kyriacou says.
Similarly, Tessmar-Raible's team showed that bristle worms' moon-driven clocks, which provide the animals with an "intrinsic month," continued to function even when the researchers disrupted the animals' circadian clocks. The two clock mechanisms do interact, however, as the researchers showed that the length and strength of the circadian rhythm are adjusted according to the circalunar clock.
"This means that there might be a whole level of regulation on the molecular and behavioral level for which we have just scratched the surface," Tessmar-Raible says.
These simultaneous discoveries in two marine species now raise new questions about the molecular and cellular natures of these separate clocks and their roles in animal behavior, the researchers say.

|Swensen Named NESCAC Rookie of the Year; Reiff Named to Second Team
Sam Swensen Named NESCAC Rookie of the Year; Stefanie Reiff Earns Second-Team Honors
By Justin Long
February 28, 2007
AMHERST, MA – The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) announced today the members of the 2006-07 women's basketball All-Conference teams, with two members of the Amherst College squad receiving honors. First-year Samantha Swensen (Rockaway Park, NY) was named the Rookie of the Year, while junior Stefanie Reiff (Hinsdale, IL) was placed on the Second Team.
Swensen started 24 of 25 games and was third among her teammates in scoring (9.6 ppg) along with placing second among the Jeffs in rebounds (6.2 rpg), while her field goal percentage of 49.8 percent (102-for-205) ranked third among conference players. She was Amherst's leading scorer in four games and leading rebounder in eight. Swensen wasted no time making an impact on the Jeffs, as she recorded a double-double in her collegiate debut, totaling 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a pair of blocks against UMASS-Dartmouth.
Reiff, a tri-captain, was a leader on the court throughout the entire season. She led Amherst in scoring in 11 games and in rebounding in 10, finishing the season as the team's leading scorer (13.2 ppg) and leading rebounder (6.7 rpg). Her scoring and rebounding averages were both ninth-best in the NESCAC, while her .830 free throw percentage led the conference.
The NESCAC named Reiff Co-Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 4, during which she led Amherst to a 2-0 record. She was dominant in Amherst's 76-68 victory over Clark University, totaling 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists, and followed up with another solid all-around game in a 73-59 win over Skidmore College, totaling 18 points, five rebounds and eight assists.
Reiff and Swensen will return to next season's squad looking to vastly improve on this season's outcome, as the Jeffs will lose only one player to graduation.

Decorated in underglaze blue, rough chevron ornament below the rim on the interior.
The second great period, the Modern Renaissance (underglaze decoration), practically commenced in 1885.
From these premises the principle of underglaze painting was accepted, and has been since followed so successfully.
As early as 1776 the name of Baer appears as a painter in colours, as opposed to the painters in underglaze blue.
Metallic oxides are used to stain or color clear glazes, while underglaze colors are ordinarily used for matts.
The blue that he invented is perfect, and is to be found on the early specimens of underglaze painted porcelain for domestic use.
Lessore painted in underglaze colours in a delicate sketchy style figure-subjects, mostly adapted from old engravings.
The underglaze blue, employed at the old royal factory by Mller, was familiar from early Meissen days.
The underglaze pigment is thinly painted upon the fired "biscuit," or unglazed ware.
Happily, in contemplating the underglaze productions of Copenhagen, there is an extended period which may be passed in review.

I can already feel the welt rising up, the swelling closing my eye.
The chap tried to drive us off, and we lost and near done for, and he hit me a welt on top of all.
He looked after her, fingers caressing the welt that burned his cheek.

Rory Hume's departure from the University of NSW - just 20 months into his five-year, $750,000-a-year contract as vice-chancellor - gives the institution time to heal wounds opened by the Bruce Hall affair.
Professor Hume was on a hiding to nothing after influential players on UNSW's governing council sided with influential leaders of its medical fraternity in denouncing the vice-chancellor's December decision not to sack Professor Hall over allegations of fraudulent immunology research. The scandal drew a line through UNSW's governance and academic apparatus, snaring the country's highest-paid academic in a terminal contest of wills.
The fall of Professor Hume, however, goes to issues beyond his ham-fisted arbitration of the Hall matter. It raises questions about whether a vice-chancellor, as CEO, should have freer passage in determining his or her university's strategies for the higher education challenges ahead and whether university councils are optimally structured and sufficiently expert to envisage and achieve the finest teaching and research.
The UNSW council was aggrieved by the propensity of the Hume predecessor, John Niland, to disregard it. But he was credited with elevating UNSW to at least equal footing with Sydney University. Now, the Australian-born Professor Hume, recruited from UCLA, where he was second in charge, has followed. That Professor Hume did not see eye-to-eye with all is not a detriment. That he was given to extolling the US experience with higher education was not idle boasting. Only the small-minded would hold that Australian universities do not have much to learn from the US. Professor Hume championed specialisation by universities, saw virtue in adequately rewarding teaching staff and raised colleagues' hackles by overturning the ban on full-fee-paying local students, thereby demonstrating that at least he understood the great risks posed to a university's quality by underresourcing.
But his arbitration of the Hall scandal was his undoing. The university spent at least $1.5 million on an inquiry, headed by the former chief justice of Australia, Gerard Brennan. It concluded Professor Hall acted with "intent to deceive or in reckless disregard of the truth", had "seriously deviated" from reporting norms and had wilfully "stated a material or significant falsehood". Professor Hume says he was legally bound to consider the Brennan findings as accusations open to challenge and re-examination. He found Professor Hall guilty of academic (but not scientific) misconduct and censured him for mistakes Professor Hume said did not amount to hanging offences.
But the whole sorry mess sullied the UNSW's reputation and Professor Hume could not escape his share of blame. He has gone. So too are the prospects offered by his impressive CV. His departure will help the bickering subside but questions of how UNSW shapes for the future are not so easily erased. In the circumstances, they are made only more pressing.
Winning in Indonesia
No one won last week's Indonesian elections. As elections go, it was one of the largest and most complicated exercises in the history of modern democracy. Almost half a million candidates put their names to national, provincial and local ballot papers across three time zones, taking in some of most remote polling booths on earth. With slow counting continuing, it appears that at least seven parties will have to squeeze their rivalries into the new parliament. The building of a stable coalition government - without a single, dominant force - now poses a very considerable challenge for the fractious political elite.
The legacies of Indonesia's rival post-independence strongmen are locked in an uninspiring draw. Support for the PDI-P of President Megawati Soekarnoputri, the daughter of the independence leader and former president Soekarno, had slumped to just over 20 per cent, with half the vote counted. Golkar, the party machine of the man who deposed Soekarno, the former authoritarian president Soeharto, was just 0.37 per cent behind.
Support for both parties is tinged with nostalgia for the strong leadership of the past. In governing, Soekarno and Soeharto drew heavily on the Indonesian tradition of "mufakat", often misleadingly translated as consensus. In practice, it usually means decisions are taken by acquiescence to the opinion of the most powerful figure at the table. This tradition has left too many politicans ill-prepared for the compromises, open debate and delicate negotiations coalition politics demands.
PDI-P may yet beat Golkar by a small margin. However, Ms Megawati's outgoing government was so hobbled by divisions that policy-making and governance faltered. Many PDI-P officials were also accused of taking up where Soeharto's Golkar team left off - with their hands in the national till. The stain of corruption over the two largest political parties, however, means smaller parties may have enhanced leverage. The newcomers most favourably placed are the Democrats and Justice and Welfare parties. The unexpected success of "clean government" campaigns, and the rapid rise of the popular Democrats leader, Ret. Gen Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, will put pressure on all parties to match their promises of reform.
The political "cow trading", as Indonesians call it, will be a fraught, drawn-out process. Much now rides on Indonesia's first direct presidential elections in July, which will hand one leader a popular mandate to manage the fractured parliament. Last Monday's polls were only Indonesia's third free elections in almost 50 years. Their successful completion is, itself, an win for Indonesia and another firm step away the authoritarian past.

Doctors attending to former President Nelson Mandela say he has made progress. Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj says the medical team treating Mandela is satisfied with the way he is responding to treatment.
Madiba is being treated for a lung infection at a Pretoria hospital. Maharaj has again asked that Mandela and his family be accorded the necessary privacy.
Earlier this morning, journalists from local and international media stayed put at Pretoria's 1 Military Hospital as Mandela spent a fifth day at the tightly secured facility for treatment of lung infection.
After 8am, journalists had parked more than 10 vehicles at an open space overlooking the hospital's main entrance.
Camera crews were filming the hospital buildings, while soldiers blocked the entrance, stopping and inspecting all cars entering the premises.
Journalists camped on the side of Voortrekker Road, leading into the Thaba Tshwane Military Base on the outskirts of the city.
The statesman was hospitalised over the weekend. He was flown from his home in Qunu, Eastern Cape on Saturday to the Pretoria facility

Space Race at a Snail's Pace?
This geek is in love with the developing private space flight industry. If you haven't been an avid follower, my previous blogs on the President's 2012 Budget Request for NASA and the latest announcements from X Prize, SpaceX, and Virgin Galactic can get you up to speed.
It is terribly exciting to witness technological advancements stemming from private investment, commercial successes pioneering research and development, and NASA partnering with industry to keep moving the industry forward.
It is moving forward, but it often seems at a snail's pace.
One essential aspect of the equation appears to be lacking: a catalyst to speed things up. The President's 2012 Budget Request reduces the funds available to NASA to 2010 levels, but it directs more funds for collaboration between NASA and commercial industry researchers, scientists, and engineers. Perhaps this move will give the space market a much-needed shot in the arm.
I am often tempted to call it the "space race." Perhaps it's because the rhythmic phrase rolls off the tongue, or because it was a phrase commonly heard in my youth. The space race refers to a specific period (1957 through 1975) during which the U.S. and U.S.S.R. (not yet Russia) informally competed to send humans into space.
Times have certainly changed.
When I was small, it never occurred to me that anyone in the U.S., other than NASA officials, could possibly put people in space. Nor could I envision people and companies in the private sector building their own spacecrafts, or a popular competition promoting such a goal.
This geek could not have predicted the level of camaraderie and collaboration taking place between not only federal agencies such as NASA and commercial technology companies, but also the U.S. and Russia. Bravo! (And more on that soon….)

Bringing Smart Grid To Vermont
05/18/11 12:00PM By Jane Lindholm
| Download MP3
In 2009, the Department of Energy awarded Vermont $69 million in stimulus funds for the implementation of a statewide smart grid. The project will cost an estimated $138 million; Vermont utility companies are paying for the other half. The goal is that, by the end of 2013, nearly every home and business in Vermont will have a smart meter installed - which will let consumers (and utility companies) monitor their power usage on a daily basis. With a smart meter, consumers will be able to tell how much power they used doing laundry, or cooking dinner, rather than just finding out how much they used per month, in a bill.
We talk to Elizabeth Miller, commissioner of the Department of Public Service, and Paul Hines, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Vermont whose research focuses on the stability and vulnerability of the electric grid, about how far along smart grid implementation is, and what effect it will have on consumers, businesses and greenhouse gas emissions. We'll also hear from Chris Dutton, President and CEO of Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO).
Also on the program, Vergennes voters' rejected a school board unification plan that had been approved by five Addison County towns at Town Meeting. We talk with Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca about the significance of the vote, and where other districts stand in discussions on school board consolidation.

Pregnancy hormones cause many changes in the female body during the 40-week gestational period. Despite the beauty of being pregnant, these hormones can also play some interesting tricks on pregnant women. Hairs on the nipples and areola are common, but during pregnancy these hairs may seem to grow longer and darker as the pregnancy progresses. Hairy nipples are nothing to be ashamed of, but many women wonder how they can combat the hormonal changes to stop hair growth on the nipple.
Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent hairy nipples during pregnancy. Some women will suffer from the problem and others will not. Plucking out the hairs or waxing them may seem like a viable option, but plucking and waxing pulls the hair from the root, which can lead to irritation and infection. Pregnant women, especially those who want to breastfeed, do not want to deal with an infection of the nipple right before the baby is born.

Fantasy Wars: Elven Legacy - Dev Diaries #3 & 4 @ Worthplaying
Worthplaying catches us up on the development of 1C-Ino-co's standalone sequel to their fantasy TB strategy title, Fantasy Wars, entitled Elven Legacy, with two developer diaries from designer Max Bodrikov. The third in the series is on the level up system and hero perks:
More information.
I didn't know about the mission and campaign editor, is that going to be included in the expansion or is that something already available for the original game?
From what I'm reading, they're adding one with the expansion. AFAIK the original didn't have an editor, but I've only played the demo so correct me here if wrong.
