UGA researchers discover origin of unusual glands in the body
The thymus gland is a critical component of the human immune system that is responsible for the development of T-lymphocytes, or T-cells, which help organize and lead the body's fighting forces against harmful organisms like bacteria and viruses.
The main body of the thymus lies beneath the breastbone in the upper chest. But scientists were surprised several years ago when two teams of researchers discovered that both mice and humans have extra thymus-like glands distributed throughout their necks.
Now, researchers at the University of Georgia have published findings in Nature Communications that reveal where these extra glands come from and help explain what roles the extra thymuses may play in the complex network of the body's natural defense systems.

A group of investors seek to turn around the struggling video game company by shaking up the board of investors. Some analysts, however, don't seem to be convinced that a board change will make up the difference in the company's shortfalls.
Shares of video game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. jumped more than 17 percent Wednesday after an investor group unveiled plans to replace the board.
The investor group, consisting of OppenheimerFunds Inc., DE Shaw Valence Portfolios LLC, SAC Capital Management LLC and Tudor Investment Corp., plans to nominate and vote for a slate of six director candidates at Take-Two's annual shareholder meeting on March 23, according to a Wednesday regulatory filing.

Mahosot Hospital
Fondation Mérieux wanted to be part of the project to improve the quality of care provided by the Mahosot hopistal, the largest hospital in the capital of Laos.
The Foundation therefore financed the purchase of medical analysis equipement, one for hemocultures and the other for bacteria identification.
Thakhek Hospital
The partnership established between Hospices Civils de Lyon, Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, the Rhône-Alpes Region and Fondation Mérieux has enabled the renovation of the biology laboratory of Thakhek Hospital (southern Laos).
This hospital has been receiving support from the Hospices Civils de Lyon, Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, Rhône-Alpes Region and the NGO ACFL for many years. Thanks to the quality of the staff and the infrastructures, it is a model hospital. The laboratory staff are qualified to a high level and are genuinely motivated.
A new medical testing laboratory was built in 2008. Inaugurated in February 2009, this laboratory can now serve the need of a large population reservoir and develop according to the changing needs.

The West Coast Eagles fans partied like it was 1987 at Patersons Stadium yesterday - and, if you believe Richmond coach Damien Hardwick, they might have influenced a few umpiring decisions as well.
On a day when the Eagles celebrated their 25th birthday with a 57-point win under perfect skies, Hardwick was clearly miffed by a 30-14 free kick count in the home team's favour.
He made a point of not criticising the umpires directly but did stop to ponder whether the West Coast dominated crowd of more than 38,000 persuaded the whistle-blowers to make a few decisions.
"I can't comment on the umps. What was it 30-14 and I think they had nine shots at goal from free kicks?" Hardwick said.
"There's no doubt some of them were there and we've got to get better in some of those situations. But you've got to give credit to the West Coast crowd.
"They make a big noise at certain stages of the game and there's no doubt the influence they have over the people out there is significant."
While Hardwick looks for ways to help the Tigers climb from 14th on the ladder and arrest a six-game losing streak, there are no such worries for Eagles counterpart John Worsfold.
The Eagles' only concerns out of Richmond win were a suspected posterior cruciate ligament injury to utility Matt Rosa and knocks to ruckmen Dean Cox and Nic Naitanui.
Rosa would miss several weeks if the early prognosis is correct while Worsfold said he did not believe there was anything serious in the injuries to Cox or Naitanui.
Worsfold was delighted by the best-on-ground performance of Daniel Kerr, who had missed three weeks with glute and hip soreness related to the hamstring injury that cost him most of last season.
"He [Kerr] felt he was ready to go last week, but we were comfortable we made the right decision to prepare him for this week," Worsfold said.
"He certainly is fitter and feeling better than even when he was even at the start of the year. It's a credit to him for how hard he's worked in his downtime."
The Eagles mentor was also impressed by the impact of Naitanui, particularly his contested marking during a second quarter purple patch that helped put West Coast in the box seat.
The 21-year-old big man also drew rave reviews from Hardwick.
"He [Naitanui] took a couple of big grabs and a couple of contested marks. You can see why he is going to be such a powerhouse of a player," Hardwick said.
"He's a player that's still learning the game, he's ultra-competitive and so important to West Coast."
The Eagles led by 27 points at half-time yesterday, stretched the gap to 45 points late in the third quarter and then saw the Tigers whittle it back down to 26 points at the final change.
Given the lead-up and post-script to the game - West Coast's hall-of-fame inauguration on Friday night and an on-ground performance of Eagle Rock by Ross Wilson after yesterday's final siren - Worsfold said the final margin provided an element of relief.
"It's a funny one because all the celebrations up until now have been in the background to preparing the team to play," Worsfold said.
"To have won the game today, it's a nice feeling to be able to reflect on the 25-year history of the club.
"I'm rapt with that and a lot of our old original playing group just walked through the offices and it was great to see them on the way through and say "g'day" quickly. I'll catch up with them shortly.
"There are a lot of players that have made a massive contribution to the club over the 25-year history and I've been lucky enough to play with most of them or coach most of them.
"It is a big milestone for the footy club."

Good morning.
President Obama was sworn in to office four weeks ago today. This afternoon in Denver, he'll sign the $787 billion economic stimulus package his fellow Democrats pushed through Congress last week. Also while in Colorado, Obama will take a look at solar panels installed at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Later today, the president flies to Arizona. Tomorrow in Phoenix, Obama will unveil a plan aimed at helping homeowners.
As for the day's top stories, they include:
• The Daily News (of New York) -- Cheney pushed Bush to pardon Libby: "In the waning days of the Bush administration, Vice President Dick Cheney launched a last-ditch campaign to persuade his boss to pardon Lewis (Scooter) Libby -- and was furious when President George W. Bush wouldn't budge. Sources close to Cheney told the Daily News the former vice president repeatedly pressed Bush to pardon Libby, arguing his ex-chief of staff and longtime alter ego deserved a full exoneration -- even though Bush had already kept Libby out of jail by commuting his 30-month prison sentence. ... Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the federal probe of who leaked covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to the press."
• The Wall Street Journal -- Obama aims to keep members of Congress close: "President Barack Obama's scheduled signing Tuesday of a $787 billion economic stimulus law culminates three rapid-fire legislative weeks when a new presidential style emerged in Washington: the close integration of the White House and Congress. After two presidencies marked by friction, if not outright hostility, between the White House and Congress, Mr. Obama has shown himself to be senator-in-chief, consulting closely with congressional leaders and committee chairmen at every turn."
• The Washington Post -- Late changes altered Treasury's plan significantly: "Just days before Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner was scheduled to lay out his much-anticipated plan to deal with the toxic assets imperiling the financial system, he and his team made a sudden about-face. According to several sources involved in the deliberations, Geithner had come to the conclusion that the strategies he and his team had spent weeks working on were too expensive, too complex and too risky for taxpayers. ... The sharp course change was one of the key reasons why Geithner's plan -- his first major policy initiative as Treasury secretary -- landed with such a thud last Tuesday. Lawmakers, investors and analysts expressed dismay over the lack of specifics."
• The New York Times -- GOP governors are some of Obama's strongest allies: "President Obama must wish governors could vote in Congress: While just three of the 219 Republican lawmakers backed the $787 billion economic recovery plan that he is signing into law on Tuesday, that trifling total would have been several times greater if support among the 22 Republican state executives counted. ... many Republican governors are practicing a pragmatic -- their Congressional counterparts would say less-principled -- conservatism."
• Politico -- Critics say Obama may be delaying auto recovery: "The 'car czar' is out. The Presidential Task Force on Autos is in. And by taking longer than expected to decide which way to go, President Barack Obama is drawing fire from industry analysts and some key Democrats who fear he has inadvertently delayed help to an auto industry frantically trying to bail itself out."
• CBS News -- White House may pull plug on plan to build 28 new "Marine One" helicopters at total cost of more than $11 billion:

Paris (AFP) April 19, 2010
Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano is emitting between 150,000 and 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per day, a figure placing it in the same emissions league as a small-to-medium European economy, experts said on Monday.
Assuming the composition of gas to be the same as in an earlier eruption on an adjacent volcano, "the CO2 flux of Eyjafjoell would be 150,000 tonnes per day," Colin Macpherson, an Earth scientist at Britain's University of Durham, said in an email.
Patrick Allard of the Paris Institute for Global Physics (IPGP) gave what he described as a "top-range" estimate of 300,000 tonnes per day.
Both insisted that these were only approximate estimates.
Extrapolated over a year, the emissions would place the volcano 47th to 75th in the world table of emitters on a country-by-country basis, according to a database at the World Resources Institute (WRI), which tracks environment and sustainable development.
A 47th ranking would place it above Austria, Belarus, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, Bulgaria, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, according to this list, which relates to 2005.
Experts stressed that the volcano contributed just a tiny amount -- less than a third of one percentage point -- of global emissions of greenhouse gases.
Total emissions by six heat-trapping gases in 2005 were more than 36 thousand million tonnes (36 gigatonnes) as measured in CO2, according to the WRI index.
"It's not of any significance compared to the anthropogenic [manmade] budget," said Kjetil Toerseth, director of regional and global pollution at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research.
Specialists cautioned those who believe the eruption is good for climate change as carbon-emitting jetliners are unable to take to the skies.
According to the European Environment Agency (EAA), daily emissions from the aviation sector in the 27 nations of the European Union are around 440,000 tonnes per day.
Not all of this is saved because of the volcanic eruption, said the sources.
Firstly, some airports in southern Europe have remained open for traffic.
In addition, carbon is emitted when passengers stranded by air travel use the train, bus, car or ferry as an alternative.
And many flights in, to and from Europe are merely being deferred until the crisis is over.
"Whether the emissions occur now or three weeks from now does not change things fundamentally," said Herve Le Treut, a French climatologist.
"Another point is that these emissions are of long duration. CO2 is dangerous because it stays in the atmosphere for about a hundred years. Its short-term effect is not the big problem."
earlier related report
But NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen denied any knowledge of the incident and insisted that the eruption in Iceland was having no impact on the military alliance's operations or its ability to defend the 28 member nations.
"This is a very, very serious matter that in the not too distant future will start having real impact on military capabilities," the senior US official told reporters.
"Allied F-16s were flying and they did find glass buildup inside the engines," he said in Brussels, adding that the ash had affected one aircraft.
Ash from volcanos can be turned into a glass form at high temperatures when it passes through a jet engine, potentially causing excessive wear on machinery.
Airspace across much of Europe has been closed to civil flights since Thursday due to the ash cloud created by an eruption at Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano.
"I think the airspace is closed for a reason," the US official said.
Military sources refused to disclose the extent of the problem.
Nearly seven million passengers have been affected by the airspace closures, which governments say are essential for safety reasons, while airlines want the restrictions reassessed as business suffers.
Air France, British Airways, KLM and Lufthansa have reported no problems after launching flights to test fears that the ash cloud would destroy jet engines.
Rasmussen said he had not been told about the reported jet fighter incident.
"I have no information about the F-16s," he said.
But he told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels: "The Icelandic volcano does not have any effect on either our operations, or our territorial defence."
A NATO official explained that the world's biggest military alliance had pre-emptively shifted two AWACS radar planes from Germany late last week to Sicily, southern Italy from where they are able to operate.
"Our airforces will always take the necessary steps to ensure that they are capable of conducting all their operations," Rasmussen said.
"They have taken the necessary steps and they will take the necessary steps to ensure that our territorial defence is intact and that we can conduct all our operations," he added.
The senior US official also said that some military exercises in the United States had already been scaled down while the real impact of the volcanic ash on equipment is studied.
He underlined that the problem highlighted the urgent need to finalise a transit agreement with Russia on the over-flight of lethal materials and troops into Afghanistan, where NATO is battling to defeat a Taliban-led insurgency.
"With the closure of airspace in Europe it becomes even more important that we can do that," the official said.
Rasmussen was stuck in Denmark over the weekend due to the air traffic chaos, missing the burial of the late Polish president Lech Kaczynski, while the alliance's military committee cancelled a trip to Kosovo planned for Monday.
"There was doubt about whether they would have been able to return," said a spokesman for the military committee, which comprises top officers from the 28 member nations.
The eruption has also cast doubt over whether a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Tallinn, Estonia set to start Thursday will go ahead.

Eruption tapering off, spewing less ash: experts
Reykjavik (AFP) April 19, 2010
Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano has started spewing out less ash, a sign the eruption could be tapering off and that Europe's air traffic nightmare could be coming to an end, experts said Monday. "Currently the eruption has diminished markedly," Bryndis Brandsdottir of the University of Iceland told AFP, basing her comment on seismological radar readings in Reykjavik.

* Strong domestic activity offsets global threats * Chile's economy easing more slowly than forecast * Several Latin American central banks holding rates * Inflation expectations aligned with target-cenbank SANTIAGO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Chile's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate on hold at 5.0 percent, as expected, on Tuesday for the 10th consecutive month as robust local growth offset looming risks from a slowdown in global demand. Rates have stayed on hold since a cut in January largely because the world's No. 1 copper producer has shown better-than-expected resilience to slowing demand from top trade partner China and fallout from the euro zone's crisis. "Domestically, output and demand indicators have evolved above projections. The labor market remains tight," the central bank said in its post meeting statement. Chile's export-dependent economy this year may post growth of slightly more than the official forecast of 5 percent, Finance Minister Felipe Larrain told Reuters last week, but he kept to a growth outlook for 2013 of 4.8 percent, noting that Chile faces slowing exports to Europe. October's high CPI (Consumer Price Index) number was due to one-time factors, the central bank said, adding, "Year-on-year inflation is around 3 percent, while core inflation measures remain below 3 percent. Inflation expectations over the policy horizon are aligned with the target." Chile's consumer prices rose by double what the market expected in October, chiefly due to the cost of food, non-alcoholic beverages, housing and electricity, the government reported last week. Inflation in the 12 months to October was 2.9 percent, just below the 3.0 percent midpoint of the central bank's policy horizon target. The benchmark interest rate is seen at 5.0 percent in five and 11 months, the bank's latest poll of analysts showed on Monday. "Altogether, domestic and external risks to activity and inflation continue to broadly offset each other and this condition underpins our call for no monetary policy action for the foreseeable future," Goldman Sachs economist Alberto Ramos said in a note to clients. "The domestic economy continues to expand at a remarkably solid pace, despite the challenging global backdrop, with demand failing to decelerate to the originally envisaged more moderate pace during (the second half of the year)," Ramos added. The central bank made no mention of Chile's peso currency in its statement, but said the U.S. dollar has appreciated in international markets. Last week the bank started a temporary program to boost the liquidity of the country's peso in financial markets to "mitigate possible tensions towards year-end". The peso, which has gained around 6.9 percent versus the dollar this year, ranks behind the Hungarian forint as the strongest foreign currency performer against the U.S. dollar among 152 currencies tracked by Reuters. LATAM CENTRAL BANKS HELD RATES Chile's central bank isn't the only monetary authority holding its fire in the region. Brazil's central bank will likely keep interest rates at their current record low of 7.25 percent until at least the end of next year to help support a sluggish economic recovery, a weekly central bank survey of economists showed on Monday. Colombia's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate steady for a second-month running at 4.75 percent at its latest meeting on Oct. 26, given a mixed picture for domestic growth and the global economy. Peru's central bank held its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.25 percent for the 18th month in a row last week, as inflation has retreated and the economy grows near its potential.

Canadian participation at MEDICA grows at 18% to 40 exhibitors
MEDICA 2007 draws the second largest contingent of Canadian exhibitors ever, underlining the country's product and research capabilities in the life sciences sector and the importance of MEDICA a an international marketing platform for that sector. A total of 40 exhibitors from five of the 10 provinces coast to coast are highlighting the latest in research and technology. This year has also seen the second highest level of new exhibitors (14) since 2004.
Along with a very strong interest from British Columbia, there are two new exhibitors from PEI and Alberta this year, bringing the number of provinces represented at the show from three to five.
At 8 exhibitors, British Columbia reaches not only an all-time high for the province but comes in at a solid third place exhibitor province with only 2 exhibitors less than Quebec. British Columbia
is also represented for the first time by a delegation of Life Sciences British Columbia, a newly formed industry association based in Vancouver.
Ontario traditionally has led the field and is represented by 20 of the 40 Canadian exhibitors this year. Within both the Canadian pavilions in halls 3 and 16, there are again "Ontario Showcases",
coordinated by the International Trade Branch at the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
Canadian exhibitors are represented in all major product segments of the show with a clear focus on electro medicine/medical technology (hall 16 G/F 41) and laboratory equipment/diagnostics (hall3 D 46). Both of these focus areas see the return of Canadian Pavilions. Other Canadian clusters can be found in halls 4 (F 41) and 7a (E 27). The majority of Canadian exhibitors (70%)joined one of the five sector-specific Canadian group participations at MEDICA 2007. Four of those are organized by the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce and one by AITS, a Quebec based industry association with a 10-year history at the show.

'Smoking' Hrithik Roshan Wows U.S. Critics
By Prashant Agrawal
Bollywood scored big this weekend in Hollywood. The first triumph was a fluke, but the second triumph might herald the birth of a crossover Indian superstar.
For the first time, an Indian movie broke the weekly top 10 grossing films in the U.S. The metric is widely tracked across the U.S., and "Kites" managed to crack the list. Now, that achievement should come with a huge asterisk.
With a gross of just over $1 million, "Kites" wouldn't have cracked the top 10 list in any other week of this year. The film certainly benefited from a rare, exceptionally weak May week in the US. Though some analysts question how much leg the movie has, the worldwide take for opening weekend was almost $14 million, with the majority of that from India.
The second triumph though, maybe a longer lasting one. Hrithik Roshan wowed U.S. reviewers. The Los Angeles Times called him "a sensational dancer" with "the dashing, chiseled looks of a silent movie matinee idol." The Toronto Star also found Mr. Roshan's body "chiseled" with "sculpted features." The New York Times used words rarely uttered in the Grey Lady noting Mr. Roshan had a "smoking body." The Village Voice said, "Roshan is a master at low-keying his enormous charm and shrugging off his blinding handsomeness." The San Francisco Chronicle called him and his co-star, Barbara Mori, "as beautiful human beings as can be."
It would be tough to find another actor who has recently sent critics weak in the knees like this. The Times ends its review praising Roshan: "Mr. Roshan requires viewing uncut: writhing on the dance floor or just gazing into space, the man was made to drive women crazy, one movie at a time."
Mr. Roshan may or may not be a gifted thespian, but he possesses all the ingredients of a movie star heartthrob — drop dead gorgeous looks, smoldering eyes and a natural charm. With dozens of Hindi movies under his belt, thanks in part to his producer father, Mr. Roshan is at ease with the camera. "Kites" may not end up being the first Bollywood crossover hit, but Mr. Roshan's looks, it seems, might just help him do what no Bollywood actor has yet done — conquer Hollywood, one movie at a time.

The Bulldogs will host scores of high school juniors tomorrow at the school's annual Junior Day. The event takes place at Sanford Stadium, but is closed to the public. Only recruits and their coaches are allowed at the facility.
Today the Bulldogs had a light workout which consisted of only 12 periods of practice after the initial stretching period. Kedric Golston was at practice, but did not participate due to his turf toe.
Darrius Swain will move into the number one defensive tackle spot for tomorrow's scrimmage. He said Richt took it easy on the team today because of the amount of work that went into Wednesday's full pad practice.
"He really liked what we did on Wednesday and he said that he didn't want to push us too much today. It was pretty much a walk through for tomorrow," said Swain.
Richt called Wednesday's practice one of the best, along with last Wednesday's, since he arrived at Georgia.
Saturday's scrimmage will be Georgia's second official scrimmage of the season. The Bulldogs' final scrimmage – and practice – will occur one week from tomorrow with the annual G-Day. This year's G-Day is benefiting the Athens YMCA.
NOTES: Green Jersey report (Injured players and all quarterbacks) – Jarvis Jackson (DNP), Jemario Smith (back), Steve White, Olaolu Sanni-Osomo (DNP), Kregg Lumpkin (Knee), Tra Battle (DNP), Kedric Golston (turf toe), and Tyson Browning (shoulder).
Georgia thought practice was going to take place at the Ramsey Center today, but after the rain tailed off Richt decided to practice on the artificial surface at the bottom of the Bulldogs' practice facility.
Today's practice was one of the shortest in recent memory. The 12-peroid workout lasted about only one hour and twenty minutes. The team met with their position coaches following the practice session.
BAD TIMING: Tra Battle missed his third straight practice Friday and isn't expected to participate in today's scrimmage. The junior from Forsyth injured his back in a car accident early in the spring and aggravated the injury in a scrimmage last week.
"He can't help it, it's not like he's trying to get out of anything," said secondary coach and defensive coordinator Willie Martinez.
Still, Battle is having to sit and watch while promising sophomore Kelin Johnson gets almost all the first-team reps at the safety spot he and Battle are competing to fill.
"It hurts the player when he can't go out there and improve," Martinez said. "When he was in there, he was doing a good job."
INJURY UPDATE: Quarterback Joe Tereshinski missed his second straight practice due to a leg injury he suffered while sliding into second base during a pickup softball game. Tereshinski has developed a slight infection and has a swollen foot, Richt said.
Until the injury, Tereshinski wasn't having much trouble holding off freshman Blake Barnes for the backup position, but Barnes had a good practice on Wednesday while Tereshinski sat out.
"It's never really good to miss practice," Richt said, "but I don't think that'll be a deciding factor in the race. A lot of it depends on how Blake reacts to the time."
Richt has no plans to ban his players from recreational sports or any other reasonable activity, he said. Tereshinski's injury was worse than it might have been because he was wearing flip-flops at the time it happened, Richt said.
"If there's just a rash of softball sliding accidents, I might make them wear shoes at least," Richt said.
Defensive tackle Kedric Golston missed his third straight day due to turf toe and still is using a single crutch for support.
"It doesn't look real promising on him getting any more work this spring," Richt said.
Darrius Swain is working with the first team in Golston's absence.
PRACTICE REPORT: The Bulldogs practiced for about 90 minutes Friday in shorts and shoulder pads.
"I just wanted to make sure everyone was fresh for (today's scrimmage), and I wanted to reward them for fighting through it Wednesday," Richt said.

Plasma Arc Torch Technology: Stabilization and Ground Improvement
High-heat torch operates at up to 7.000 C
Plasma arch torch
The Need
This technology represents an additional alternative for stabilizing weak foundation soils upon which buildings, bridges, roads or other structures are to be constructed. In-situ thermal stabilization and improvement of foundation soils has been pursued for over a century. It is well recognized that heating soil results in increased strength and decreased compressibility. Consequently, thermal treatment methods have been used as a means of soil improvement in construction operations to stabilize weak foundation soils, and for the stabilization of landslides and slopes subject to failure.
Previous efforts have involved the use of conventional heating methods on surface applications or boreholes filled with fossil fuels or mechanical burner units. However, the high cost of treatment, low burning temperatures, complexity of the process, and uncertainty of the results have limited the use of this technique to relatively few construction applications.
The Technology
A plasma is a gas that has been ionized by the electric arc of a plasma torch and can therefore respond to electrical and magnetic fields. Plasma arc technology can create plasma using almost any type of gas (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, air, etc.) and in a wide range of pressures (vacuum to 20 atmospheres). The flame of the plasma torch is actually an energized arc, similar to lighting.
The plasma arc has a wide spectrum of temperatures ranging from 1500°C to over 7000°C, or approximately 1000°C hotter than the surface of the sun. The plasma arc torch uses copper electrodes to create a non-transferred arc. The plasma torch and electrodes are water-cooled and the average life of the electrodes ranges between 200 to 500 hours of operation. A DC power supply unit provides the electrical requirements of the torch and commercial units are available in power levels ranging from about 100 kW to 10 MW capacity.
The plasma torch is lowered to the bottom of a small diameter, cased borehole. By raising and operating the torch at progressively higher levels the borehole casing is rapidly melted opposite the plasma flame, and a column of soil is heated and converted into a stabilized vertical mass. Successive or simultaneous operations in adjacent boreholes, properly spaced, could similarly stabilize an entire foundation.
At approximately 200°C soil plasticity begins decreasing until it is reduced to zero at around 500°C. Swelling is reduced to zero at temperatures above 750°C and shear strength rises continuously throughout this range of temperatures. At temperatures above 900°C the soil begins to fuse into brick-like material. Finally, the soil melts and later hardens in a rock-like material (similar to obsidian) at temperatures above 1,100°C.
Plasma torches have the capability to readily create temperatures which produce these irreversible changes in the soil properties, such as decrease in sensitivity, swelling and compressibility and increase in shear strength and stiffness. These changes allow to achieve different soil stabilization stages and significantly improve the engineering properties of a soil. Weathered or weak rock formations can be also stabilized in a similar manner.
The Benefits
Plasma arc technology appears to overcome most of the limitations present with thermal stabilization techniques using fossil fuels and electric heat sources. The much higher temperatures, greater flexibility, simplicity and the high efficiency of the plasma torch makes it a much more attractive alternative for the stabilization of weak and unstable foundation soils (excessive settlement, liquefaction, excess seepage), slopes and landslides subject to failure and vertical or steep cuts in soil.
The plasma torch offers two to three times the heating value of fossil fuels. According to research testing, the torch melts and vitrifies two foundation soils (clay and silty sand) into rock-like glassy materials, virtually can turn these soils into a rock that it is 5 to 10 times stronger than unreinforced concrete. The process is about 90 percent efficient in energy usage. Plasma heating systems can be placed on flatbed trucks for a mobile configuration. While plasma torch may not be advisable in every case at this moment, it may salvage sites that would otherwise be unbuildable.
Even though the technology has begun to emerge as a commercial tool in several industries such as steelmaking, precious metal recovery, and waste disposal, it is a prototypical technology in the stabilization and ground improvement field. Further research in the U.S. is being done in the use of plasma torches at higher power levels with different types of soils, varying moisture content, and at different depths. Major research programs for the study of the basic science of plasma heating and development and implementation of models and prototypes for different applications are being conducted around the world (U.S., Japan, Canada, Russia, France, Switzerland, Australia and South Africa).
Promising results in the laboratory have been achieved with only two types of soil clay and silty sand. It is difficult to forecast the cost of the technology. Further, the economies of this in-situ thermal stabilization concept will be highly dependent on several variables relating to site location, geological conditions, and the type of plasma torch system used for the process. Even though the plasma torch makes soils very stable, the technology reduces volume by about half.

Last month I listed ten moments from the early X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST screenplay that didn't make it into the film. Some of these moments were produced, like Anna Paquin's Rogue sequence, while others were removed entirely from the shooting script before filming began.
Below are ten additional things you didn't get to see in the final product.
- Storm flies the X-Jet while Xavier uses his on-board mobile version of Cerebro to search for Kitty and Bobby.
- When the future X-Men arrive to greet Kitty and Bobby, they encounter a new group of mutants which includes Blink (pictured above). Magneto uses his powers to threaten this group with nearby metal weapons, which leads to Blink holding her weapon to Magneto's throat.
- Bishop is the only one to really question the effects of changing the past. He expresses concern of their current history being negatively impacted, saying that some of them may not even exist in the altered timeline. Bishop warns Logan that he'll carry the burden of retaining his memories when he wakes up in the new timeline. Logan easily shrugs it off.
- When Mystique is helping the mutant army recruits escape the base in Saigon, Havok is hit with a taser and captured by Trask and Stryker's people. Later in his own sequence, Havok is seen running from a Sentinel during a weapons test. Mystique later finds out that he died via an autopsy report.
- While imprisoned under The Pentagon, a thick bearded Erik taunts a guard who ate some fish earlier. He tells the guard that he senses trace amounts of iron from the meal and makes his stomach rumble uncontrollably.
- Charles, Beast and Logan recruit an 18 year old Juggernaut to break Erik out of prison. Diving from the X-jet, Juggernaut plows through the multiple ground levels. Logan jumps in directly after him and breaks all of his bones on impact.
- Raven goes to the X-mansion to confront Charles, Beast and Logan about why Magneto is trying to kill her. In a later scene reminiscing a "First Class" moment, Hank tells Raven that she can take his serum to get rid of her mutation. She disagrees and tells Hank that maybe they could be together if he would accept their mutation.
- Mutants around the world are being rounded up after the Mystique, Magneto and Beast are caught on camera.
- Rogue goes airborne when Magneto grabs hold of her and levitates them out of the X-mansion.
- Raven chooses a different path and decides to join Charles and Hank. Magneto says the government will eventually find them and attack. Charles reiterates a slightly modified line from the original trilogy, saying: "I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to that house looking for trouble."

THE effects of a punishing run of three games in seven days are being monitored by York City manager Gary Mills, writes Dave Flett.
The Minstermen, who drew 1-1 with Northampton on Tuesday, host AFC Wimbledon in npower League Two today and travel to London tomorrow ahead of Monday's FA Cup first round replay against the Dons.
Mills admitted he could consider changes for Monday's second match against the Dons if he spots any signs of fatigue.
"We will need to address the situation on Monday," he said. "We will go down there tomorrow and everybody has to be physically and mentally right for two games in three days. "We might go with the same starting XI as we did on Tuesday for the next two games and players might get their rest with a couple of days off next week," said Mills.
"But if we feel somebody is looking a bit tired, or they tell me they are, then we will look at that situation."
Mills will be paying particular attention to Kerr in that respect with the former Lincoln City captain having only completed three full matches since returning to action last month.
"He's still got to get sharper but he's getting there," Mills said about the 30-year-old midfielder.
"We've got a lot of games coming up and we've got to see how he goes.
"He will hate me for saying that because he wants to play every game, but we have to be sensible and you have to think about the team, not individuals."

Health Insurance For All
I need help in choosing a Health Insurance provider. Can someone help me sift through all the possible privat?
I need to Purchase Health Insurance on my own. How do I choose? What (besides prices) do I look for? Can anyone make any recommendations for Health Insurance Companies….and tell me why they feel that company is a good one?
You need a trusted adviser to help you through the process of Purchasing Health Insurance so that you understand what you are purchasing. Some may suggest going on line to get a quote but you probably already know that there is much more to health insurance than price. Some might even suggest a discount plan which is not insurance at all.
Ultimately, you are the one who determines the affordability of your Health Insurance Plan by deciding how much you will participate in sharing the cost of your health care with your insurance company.
If you choose a plan that covers everything i.e. doctors office visits, prescription drugs, preventative health benefits, maternity coverage as well as low deductibles and low copays your monthly premiums will be significant.
On the other hand if you are young, healthy and use the health care system rarely you could consider a plan that covers only the major health catastrophe which will result in a relatively low monthly premium. You then can use the monthly premium savings to pay for the occasional doctor visit and still come out ahead.
Check with the agent that writes your home or auto insurance he/she can provide you a health insurance proposal that takes into account your budget and health situation. They can answer questions as to what is and is not covered by the policy, explain deductibles and copays and show you the hospitals and doctors that participate in the network.
Use the Internet to educate yourself but use an agent to purchase the coverage.

Thomas More Law School celebrates first PhD graduates
Published: Wednesday 16th November 2016
ACU's Thomas More Law School has already seen the first of its PhD students graduate, ahead of the first undergraduate cohort at the end of this year.
The three students are the first graduates of the School, with Kylie Pappalardo and Kunle Ola graduating last month and Ben Atkinson graduating in May.
It is unusual for a Law School to graduate its first PhD students before it sees the first cohort of undergraduates complete their degrees. The fact that we have done so says something important about the value placed on research and scholarship here at the Thomas More Law School. The contribution of these Higher Degree Research students to the intellectual life of the School is something that both staff and students have benefited from.
Each of the students focused on various aspects of Intellectual Property under the supervision of Adjunct Professor Brian Fitzgerald.
Dr. Ola's PhD thesis focused on Copyright Law, while also including other areas of law such as Contract and Human Rights.
He said the significance of his research was its focus on the idea that open access to knowledge is fundamental to development.
"The Thomas More Law School has been at the forefront of supporting open access to knowledge through conferences and seminars and by providing the platform for the successful completion of this PhD research," Dr. Ola said.
In contrast, Dr. Atkinson's research focus is on the role of proprietary rights allocation in creating social inequality.
"The problem of social inequality is intractable until the exclusionary effect of ownership is understood and initiatives adopted to reduce the scale of ownership, creating a larger public domain outside ownership," he said.
Dr. Pappalardo's research focused on the intersection between tort law and copyright law in regulating online intermediaries (like ISPs and Google) for acts of copyright infringement committed by users.
"This research is significant because it provides a new way to conceptualise the role of internet intermediaries in supporting cultural production," Dr. Pappalardo said.
"This thesis identifies a set of normative principles for determining the legal responsibilities of intermediaries in the digital economy and seeks to articulate the foundational conditions for successful benefit sharing partnerships between intermediaries and creators," she said.
