President Trump's selection of Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to be his national security adviser has been widely praised, and rightly so. McMaster is a remarkable man cut from the same cloth as the new secretary of defense, Jim Mattis. Both are inspirational leaders. Both are thoughtful, well-read "soldier-scholars." Both are clear thinkers and straight talkers. Indeed, McMaster's intense, fierce outspokenness has not always endeared him to his superiors.
McMaster's story has been recounted many times in recent days. A native of Philadelphia, he is a 1984 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point. Later, he earned a PhD in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, studying under Richard Kohn, the eminent military historian and civil-military relations expert. His doctoral dissertation became Dereliction of Duty, a withering critique of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Vietnam War.
As a captain commanding an armored cavalry troop during the first Gulf War, McMaster proved himself to be an aggressive, fearless leader. Continue reading

U.S. adversaries are rapidly catching up to America's fifth generation fighter aircraft capabilities—a risk that has exacerbated given ongoing cyber vulnerabilities in the F-35 fighter jet program, according to an Air Force major general.
Maj. Gen. Jerry Harris Jr., the vice commander of Air Combat Command at the Langley, Va., base, said Thursday that while the United States maintains an advantage in the stealth and weapons capacities inherent in fifth generation fighter aircraft models, adversaries are "quickly closing the gap."
"We are trying to maximize our ability to procure fifth generation airplanes and go from a 100 percent fourth generation fleet to a significant mix of fifth generation [planes] so that we have the opportunity to operate in these hostile environments against these threats that are catching us faster than we thought they would," Harris testified before the House Armed Services Committee.

North Korea has test fired five new missiles and claims to have successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb. Iran too is racing towards nuclear weapons and advanced missile technology. Around the globe, risks are increasing. As a result, deterrence is more important than ever.
There was a time when deterrence simply meant having retaliatory nuclear weapons. But the risks are far more complex than a generation ago. Maintaining a strong and credible nuclear deterrent is absolutely necessary. But by itself, it is not enough. Today, the risks are too varied to have a single solution. The US must have a robust, multifaceted, broad-based deterrent to stop the world's evil doers. A modern military deterrent includes: (i) a strong up-to-date nuclear threat; (ii) a robust multi-layered missile defense; and (iii) a powerful conventional military force that can meet any threat and defeat any foe.
The need for a nuclear deterrent is clear. If any nation is tempted to use nuclear weapons, they must know that the retaliatory nuclear strike that would follow, would be devastating. With our nuclear weapons aging and more than a generation old, however, we must make needed upgrades to our nuclear triad. Continue reading
From a weakened trans-Atlantic alliance to an increasingly fractious Middle East
by Ian Bremmer • Time
At the beginning of each year Eurasia Group, the political risk consultancy I founded and oversee, publishes a list of the top 10 political risk stories for the 12 months ahead. These are the risks and trends we believe are most likely to move markets in 2016. We've opened the year with a serious spat between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and a horrible day for markets in China. But our #1 risk centers on erosion of the partnership that has provided a lot of global stability over many years.
1. The Hollow Alliance
The trans-Atlantic partnership has been the world's most important alliance for nearly seventy years, but it's now weaker and less relevant than at any point in decades. The U.S. no longer plays a decisive role in addressing any of Europe's top priorities. Russia's intervention in Ukraine and the conflict in Syria will expose U.S.-European divisions. As U.S. and European paths diverge, there will be no one to play international fireman—and conflicts particularly in the Middle East will be left to rage.
2. Closed Europe
In 2016, divisions in Europe will reach a critical point as a core conflict emerges between Open Europe and Closed Europe—and a combination of inequality, refugees, terrorism, and grassroots political pressures pose an unprecedented challenge to the principles on which the European Union was founded. Europe's open borders will face particular pressure. The risk of Britain's exit from the E.U. is underestimated. Europe's economics will hold together in 2016, but its broader meaning and its social fabric will not. Continue reading

Addressing concerns that a landmark nuclear deal reached this year could boost Iran's military power, the Obama administration reassured critics that it would maintain and enforce its remaining tough sanctions against the country.
Yet the U.S. government has pursued far fewer violations of a long-standing arms embargo against Iran in the past year compared to recent years, according to a review of court records and interviews with two senior officials involved in sanctions enforcement.
The sharp fall in new prosecutions did not reflect fewer attempts by Iran to break the embargo, the officials said. Rather, uncertainty among prosecutors and agents on how the terms of the deal would affect cases made them reluctant to commit already scarce resources with the same vigor as in previous years, the officials said.

Freedom and opportunity are on the horizon with a new crop of principled, capable and positive conservatives.
by George Landrith
In the past few weeks and the next couple weeks, we will see most of the expected entrants into the GOP presidential sweepstakes make their plans official. The GOP bench is deep with a number of highly credible and well qualified potential nominees. Part of this deep bench is the result of the conservatives doing well in a majority of the non-presidential and state elections during President Barack Obama's time in office. The GOP has gained 70 seats in Congress and 910 state legislators around the nation since Barack Obama took office.
If you're a conservative, there is a lot more good news on the horizon. That deep bench of well-qualified and highly credible candidates is revealing itself in congressional elections around the nation. Speaking with campaign experts around the nation, one thing is clear — the GOP has a bumper crop of great conservative candidates.
I can't write about each of them, but perhaps I can pick one that caught my eye and shows real promise. In Florida's 18th Congressional District, an established name is retiring from the House of Representatives to pursue the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Marco Rubio. Rick Kozell has announced his candidacy for the open congressional seat in the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach area.
Here's what I like about Rick Kozell — he's an optimistic, principled conservative with a winning vision for the future. He reminds me of a young Ronald Reagan. The press will have a hard time casting him as the stereotypical angry conservative. Kozell is affable, young, smart, and articulate. His smile is natural and his energy and enthusiasm are obvious.

Conventional wisdom in our nation's Capital mistakenly holds that nuclear weapons are not useful in deterring our adversaries, not relevant to meeting new terrorist threats, and not valuable tools of overall American and allied statecraft.
The threats from Ukraine, Ebola and the ISIS are mistakenly used to make the case that nuclear weapons cannot deter most threats to the United States. We are assured the only role our nuclear weapons should play is to stop another country from attacking the United States with nuclear weapons.
Nothing more.
From this mistaken idea flows the further conclusion the US needs only a very small deterrent of nuclear warheads for deterrence, some seventy to eighty percent less than what we have deployed today.* Continue reading

If anyone had any doubts that most members of Congress oppose the Obama administration's proposed nuclear deal with Iran, they can put them aside after viewing the response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress Tuesday.
Fifty-some Democratic members chose not to attend. Joe Biden arranged to be out of town, and Barack Obama let it be known that he didn't even have time to watch on television. But the House chamber was packed, the galleries were filled and Netanyahu was interrupted multiple times not only with applause but boisterous cheers.
In negotiations with Iran, continued beyond two previously proclaimed deadlines, Obama has dropped demands that Iran disassemble centrifuges needed to produce nuclear weapons material. And he has proposed a 10-year time limit on the deal. Continue reading

The US and several other nations have been in "talks" in hopes of negotiating with Iran to stop its nuclear program in exchange for lifting the UN sanctions. But those negotiations have gone no-where. On Monday, the deadline came and went without an agreement.
Extending the deadline to permit more "talks" will not likely protect a single person. It just gives Iran more time to develop a bomb. Why would Iran agree to limit itself when obtaining the bomb will allow it to threaten its way out of sanctions? Even if Iran were to agree to something, there is virtually no chance that the Mullahcracy will keep its promise when they are so close to obtaining the bomb they clearly covet. Continue reading

On September 18th, a senior group of professional nuclear deterrent experts gathered in Washington, D.C. to hear the top nuclear deterrent and policy leaders in the country's military and civilian leaders to discuss the challenges we face in the future to keep America and her allies and friends safe and secure. One speech at the event in particular was noteworthy and that was from Chairman Mike Rogers of the House Armed Services Sub-Committee. He addressed the "Fifth Bi-Annual Triad Conference on The Strategic Nuclear Enterprise: Implementing the Roadmap Ahead", an event sponsored by the Task Force 21, Minot in association with the Air Force Association and Geo-Strategic Analysis.
Of particular note was Chairman Roger's remarks that the continued aggression by the Russians had a way of "sharpening the mind "as the "international system led by the United States has its hands full." Here are the Chairman's remarks.
Chairman Mike Rogers, "The Strategic Nuclear Enterprise: Implementing the Roadmap Ahead", September 18, 2014
These gatherings are an important means of communication and discussion on the future of the strategic deterrent, and I thank you for inviting me.
We meet at an interesting time for nuclear deterrence and strategic issues—to say the least.
I don't have to tick through the list for this crowd, but I can summarize by saying our friend over in Russia has a way of sharpening the mind.
Coupled with the challenge of China in the Pacific and the Islamic State's acute threat to stability in the Middle East, the U.S.-led international system has its hands full.
Interestingly, some have commented that we may be witnessing a return to the normal state of international affairs.
After a suspension of history for the past couple decades where non-state actors often took center stage, we're seeing a return to an international order where nation-states—and the interaction between them—play the paramount role in world affairs.
Perhaps it is fitting that this occurs on the 100th anniversary of the so-called "War to End All Wars."
As this shift occurs, the strategic issues to which you and I pay so much attention will once again come to the forefront.
Today we're talking about something that, almost by definition, is fundamental to strategic affairs: the U.S. nuclear deterrent.
We all know that the people, infrastructure, delivery systems, weapons, and policies that comprise this deterrent have seen their share of turmoil lately.
But, there may be grounds for optimism that the turmoil will subside.
Much of this has been self-inflicted by the political and budget dysfunction here in Washington.
And, I am hopeful that—perhaps in the new year—Congress will be able to find that budget solution.
That's step number one.
Step number two is ensuring that we invest in a wise and prudent manner to ensure we have a robust and dominant deterrent.
The Strategic Forces Subcommittee that I lead has been in the forefront on this. Through both legislation and oversight we've been pushing the system to achieve our goals.
Obviously, we have more work to do.
When compared with the commitments made by the Administration to win ratification of the New START treaty, the NNSA remains dramatically underfunded by over $2 billion.
More important than just the funding shortfall: important life extension programs and infrastructure modernization projects have been delayed, deferred, or canceled.
Efforts to find efficiencies within the NNSA have been—for the most part—stymied.
We will continue to push the NNSA enterprise to streamline, reduce bureaucracy, and deliver for the military and the nation. They have an able leader over there now in General Klotz.
And, I've got a subcommittee that is eager for change.
I look forward to the results of the congressional advisory panel and working with my colleagues and NNSA leadership to see how we can help.
Across the river at the Department of Defense, we've seen delays to delivery systems, including the Ohio-class replacement submarine and the long-range cruise missile (known as LRSO).
I continue to believe we, as a nation, will come to regret these two decisions in particular.
The delays to these programs have taken all schedule margin out of some extremely complex and long-term acquisition programs.
My subcommittee unsuccessfully fought against the delay to Ohio-Replacement several years ago.
As it stands today, I am deeply concerned that we have more than 15 years to go before the first submarine hits the water—and in this town 15 years amounts to 15 separate times to screw up the budget and delay the program.
Right now, in this year's defense authorization bill, we are fighting to prevent the proposed three-year delay to LRSO.
Everyone within the system seems to recognize why this delay is a terrible idea: a fragile legacy system coupled with steadily advancing adversary air defense capabilities.
Not to mention a problem it creates in the form of a gap in production activities at NNSA.
I am hopeful we can contain the LRSO schedule slip to one year, as I proposed in the House-passed FY15 NDAA and as the military thinks it can accept.
Regarding the force structure we will have under New START, we should all be grateful that the Administration's long-overdue decision in April of this year was the right one.
I say "right one" because it is the position my subcommittee has been pushing toward since the ink dried on the treaty.
So, the Navy will move to 20 deployed missile tubes in each boat, and the Air Force will remove missiles from 50 Minuteman silos—but keep the silos warm.
This course of action not only retains maximum flexibility and complicates adversary targeting, it also enables the Air Force to go in and refurbish silos on a rotating basis.
This will ease logistics in the missile fields and facilitate the transition to the ground-based strategic deterrent (GBSD) system that will come along in the late-2020s.
With Russia having said a firm "nyet" to the President's offer for further reductions—and there being no clear evidence that further reductions are in the U.S. national security interest in the first place—it is time to get on with the business of building our force for the future.
Speaking of the GBSD, I was pleased to see the recent results of the analysis of alternatives.
After a comprehensive look at the range of options, the Air Force is recommending a solution that utilizes the existing silos, focuses on leveraging technologies across the Services, and preserves options for the future.
All for basically the same amount that we're spending today on the current system.
This is a reasonable investment and—importantly—costs essentially the same as simply continuing to life-extend the current Minuteman system out into the future.
We are also seeing a renewed focus from the Air Force on its nuclear mission.
This is the silver lining in the otherwise dark cloud of the missileer cheating that came to light last year.
It also provides the Air Force an opportunity to prove that it sees itself as more than just fighter jets.
That message needs to permeate the culture of the Air Force, from the cockpits to the staff offices, from the maintenance facilities, to the launch facilities, and the personnel system.
Secretary James and General Welsh, together with external and internal reviews conducted by DOD, have identified a series of actions.
Their focus on military personnel, morale, and leadership issues is a refreshing change from moving boxes on organization charts.
My subcommittee will remain supportive and…maybe the best phrase is optimistically-skeptical…of their efforts.
Let me close with a return to the strategic environment.
The challenges we face from Mr. Putin's Russia are as real as they are grave.
A declining power, seeking to hold on to former glory by upending the international order, is immeasurably more dangerous when it is nuclear-armed. Let's look at Russia's recent actions:
· The illegal annexation of Crimea and invasion of Eastern Ukraine.
· Nuclear threats and open discussion of plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Crimea.
· The deliberate violation of the INF Treaty
· The circumvention of New START, Open Skies, and numerous other agreements.
· Kidnapping of intelligence officials from neighboring states.
And let's not overlook China and its new ICBMs and submarine-based nuclear forces.
Nor can we overlook the perpetually unstable relationship between two nuclear powers in South Asia—one of which may be heading towards another coup.
Or the ever-perilous Kim regime in North Korea, or the nuclear intentions of Iran.
Or the lessons learned in capitals around the world subsequent to Libya and Ukraine giving up their nuclear capabilities.
In other words, nuclear weapons will be with us for quite some time.
We need to recognize this. We need to recognize that the world is not about to come together and sing "kumbaya" as some hope it will.
We need to approach strategic affairs with our eyes wide open and with all of the tools we can bring to bear.
And the key tool upon which all else rests—and that we use every day—is a robust, flexible, and highly credible nuclear triad.
'Spike' in Bear H flights over past week seen as test of U.S. air defenses
by Bill Gertz • Washington Free Beacon
Russian strategic nuclear bombers conducted at least 16 incursions into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones over the past 10 days, an unusually sharp increase in aerial penetrations, according to U.S. defense officials.
The numerous flight encounters by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters on several occasions, and come amid heightened U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine.
Also, during one bomber incursion near Alaska, a Russian intelligence-gathering jet was detected along with the bombers. Continue reading
NATO faces a challenge to modernize and sustain its nuclear posture and missile defense deployments in Europe at a time of declining defense budgets on the one hand and expanded threats on the other. The threats from Russia, the Middle East, and North Africa are serious and growing from both ballistic missile arsenals and nuclear programs.
At the same time, there are political pressures within NATO pushing for the adoption of a "zero nuclear" posture as well as efforts to delay significantly U.S. and allied missile defense and nuclear modernization deployments. This comes as threatening countries adopt military and political doctrines that emphasize the use of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles as instruments of state power. Continue reading
The long thirty one year debate over missile defenses for the United States begun with the President Reagan announcement of the strategic defense initiative in March 1983 has now reached a critical stage.
The initial building of defenses in 2002 with the US withdrawal from the ABM Treaty has now reached where in the US arsenal there are over 1200+ interceptors of all kinds that can deal with short, medium and long range rockets aimed at the United States and its allies. Continue reading
June 27, 2014, Washington, D.C. – On June 22nd, the Missile Defense Agency and a high tech industry team that designed and built the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system conducted a complex test and successfully intercepted and destroyed a target in flight over the Pacific Ocean. George Landrith, president of Frontiers of Freedom, made the following statement:
"This successful test is one more example of what America can do to protect itself and render intercontinental missiles useless to harm us or our allies. This successful test demonstrates the wisdom of President Ronald Reagan and U.S. Senator Malcolm Wallop, both pioneers in calling for missile defenses in the 1970s and 1980s. Continue reading
Putin orders military exercises amid new Ukraine tensions
Russian strategic air forces fired six new, precision-strike cruise missiles in test launches Friday amid new tensions between Moscow and the West over the crisis in Ukraine.
Russia's Defense Ministry announced Friday that the missile firings took place during exercises involving eight Tu-95 Bear bombers—the same type of strategic bomber recently intercepted 50 miles off the California coast by U.S. jets.
Russian bombers, meanwhile, continued saber-rattling air defense zone incursions against Canada's arctic and in Europe over the Baltic Sea. Continue reading

One of the K-25 Site's most iconic structures — the checkerboard water tower that has dominated the site's skyline for 55 years — has been demolished.
URS/CH2M Oak Ridge LLC — known as UCOR — and its subcontracting partners brought down the 382-foot-tall tower earlier this month through a controlled explosive demolition that sent the structure toppling into an empty field near what is now the East Tennessee Technology Park.
Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton said jail inmates have become quite resourceful at making holes in the fence at the exercise yard.
The problem could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
"Once they get in a semi-circle and somebody starts working the fence, it's easy to manipulate," Stockton said. "They've actually got now where they can pull the strips out on each end of the fencing and you can just slide it back."
The Roane County Commission approved a budget amendment for Roane County Schools by an 11-3 vote Monday.
In July, the Board of Education made cuts to the school budget after the commission refused the board's request for a property tax rate increase. The commissioners approved allowing school officials to take $447,218 from their instructional reserves.

perfect shot ♥
This is a great shot! It seems so peaceful.....and their eyes are stunning!
Awesome photography work
It gives off an open and calm feeling!

it's weird.. they are in the daylight....
I think there's some Arabic-ish ver.
no, they are themselves. Only I think it would be more vampire-realistic if the photos were taken at night.

Unanswered: Oracle 9i and Linux question
I was wondering what version of Linux to download/purchase so I can setup a test box in my basement for Oracle 9i? I tried Oracle 8i and Redhat 8 and that was a disaster. I am really looking for a version of Linux which won't require to me do extensive modifications to packages to get Oracle up and running (that was the situation with Redhat 8). I have been told Redhat 9 and Oracle 9i work ok.
I want to use the box for learning only it won't be hit heavily or have a large database on it. I have a Pentium 2 450mhz with 384MB ram and a 20GB disk that I want to use (old machine I have already since I can't afford to really buy another PC for this).
Any thoughts?

In this age of nano second transactions as seen on Wall Street daily we have seen excuses of banks not being ready technologically for the set up of this transaction.
It's simply not so ! The holdup as I reported has been 2 key entities worldwide.
We are now down to ONE ! And the weight of all the other players is going to make this player cave surely in 1-2 days.
This is guaranteed and no longer a concern.
This week we have had negotiators being replaced in Iraq to "implementors" ( IMF technicians) .
The RV will be loaded next week and will start worldwide on June 1st. Yes, that is a Saturday in Iraq. The in country RV will start at Iraqi banks.
I wish I had a rate to give you but even my Iraqi government official isn't giving that up. His only comment was " It's decent".
5/23/2013 04:55:03 pm
TD, thanks again for the update and your support. God bless.
5/23/2013 05:31:30 pm
Now we are entitled to our opinions and i hope yall will let me express mine. Why does every description of the rv by "those in the know" make it sound like those involved are building a giant robot? in the age of nano second transactions as you put it, actually traveling to iraq would seem a bit old fashioned right? couldnt a phone call be made, some type of conference call, an email of some sort. I doubt the cbi has employees recruited from the retard house working for them. other countries have smart people too. im not saying anything negative about your post i just wonder why the rv is a robot all the time instead of a computer update.
5/23/2013 11:26:12 pm
Please say that one more time. I am with you on that!
5/23/2013 05:34:26 pm
It sounds really nice. I will definitely add it to my rumor collection... actually I think it's more like a RUMOR HOARD lol. Does anyone else here besides me feel like an RV RUMOR HOARDER? We may have to have an intervention after this is all over!
5/23/2013 06:38:56 pm
I'll take June 1st, although I liked the 72 hour story better. Any finite date,in the near future, is wonderful. We need to get this done; the Country is so unstable
5/23/2013 09:21:17 pm
I like it . A firm date.

Awesome! So we now have a guarantee of RV on June 1st.

"It took me four years to finally win this," said Hawaiian longboarder Lance Ho'okano of his come-from-behind victory in small but decent surf at the Central Surf Invitational. "The focus of this event is controlled tube riding and the overall conditions were perfect for that."
Occasional overhead surf mixed in with consistent three- to four-foot waves played well for the competitors, especially Ho'okano who insisted people were getting fabulous waves the whole contest.
Trailing Pete Johnson's almost insurmountable lead with 20 minutes to go and with only one decent wave under his belt, older statesman Ho'okano put on a three-wave, switch-foot tube-riding blitz that not only shocked the younger surfers, but also gave him the convincing win.
Established as a premier barrel rider, the Hawaiian took out three mainlanders proving, as he said, that "tricks are for kids." Then he implored, "Have a contest at Teahupoo and see what these guys can do." – Sim Barhoum
- 1. Lance Ho'okano $4,000 USD
- 2. Pete Johnson $2,000 USD
- 3. Scott Chandler, Joel Tudor $1,000 USD

Magnetar Powered Supernovae
with Ke-Jung Chen and Stan Woosley
Two dimensional CASTRO results for a magnetar powered supernova explosion of a bare CO core. The density profile is shown at t=0, 800, 1600 and 2400 seconds since the deposition started.
Here we explore in one and two dimensions, the properties of luminous supernovae whose light curves might be powered by embedded magnetars. Using the 1D implicit hydrodynamic code KEPLER we have calculated a large library of models based on both bare CO cores and full hydrogenic progenitors. A simple dipole formula is used for energy deposition in stars that, in most cases, have already been artificially exploded by a parametric piston. Good agreement with observations can be found in numerous cases, but a troubling feature for some of the models is the non-homologous expansion of the supernova when the magnetar energy is comparable to the explosion energy. A sample of such cases are explored in two dimensions using the compressible hydrodynamic code CASTRO, and we demonstrate the density spikes seen in one dimension result in the development of Rayleigh-Taylor and nonlinear deceleration instabilities, which drastically influence the morphology and mixing in the ejecta.
The 2D study just passed the peer-review and can be found here: Chen et al. (2016). The 1D paper will come out soon.
Overshooting In The Upper Main-Sequence
with Casey Meakin, Hassen Yesuf and Zeyana Musthafa
Figure 1 of Meakin et al. (2011) - overshoot parameter estimates from detached Eclipsing Binaries (diamonds) and asteroseismological data (triangles). The values adopted by Girardi et al. (2000) and Pietrinferni et al. (2004) for populations synthesis are labeled as G2000 and P2004. The mass uncertainties for the eclipsing binary data are negligible on the log(M) scale used. It is one big mess!
Our distant goal in this project is to tackle the problem of mixing at the boundaries in 1D calculations. Traditionally such situations are handled with the "step" or exponential overshooting prescriptions within the Mixing Length Theory (MLT) formalism. Since these phenomenological appoaches have little physical basis, the associated free-parameters are hardly constrained by the observations. In this work, we are applying the high precision data from detached eclipsing binary systems coupled with Bayesian statistics to constrain and compare various mixing models in 1D calculations.

The Most Luminous Supernovae
with Stan Woosley. Submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Fig. 2 from the paper. Top: The luminous transient ASASSN-15lh (red bars) compared with a magnetar-powered model. Similar magnetars embedded in a smaller ejecta with lower opacity can, in principle, give even brighter light curves exceeding $\mathrm{10^{46}\ erg\ s^{-1}}$. Bottom: The same magnetar used in the top panel for fitting ASASSN-15lh is embedded in the ejecta of a massive red supergiant progenitor. The light curve is dimmer than the Type I case, but substantially brighter than the high energy prompt explosion (gray). The dashed part of curves mark the transition to nebular phase.
Inspired by the recent discovery of ASASSN-15lh (Dong et al. 2016), we investigate limiting cases from various scenarios - prompt explosions, collisions of shells, radioactivity and rotation. We argue rotation is the most powerful source of energy and any transient that is significantly brighter than $\mathrm{10^{44}\ ergs\ s^{-1}}$ in peak luminosity and has an emitted energy far greater than $\mathrm{10^{51}\ ergs}$, is either an extreme magnetar-powered case or it is unlikely to be a supernova.

Survey of CCSNe between $\mathrm{9-120\ M_{\odot}}$ based on Neutrino-Powered Explosions
with Thomas Ertl, Stan Woosley, Justin Brown and Thomas Janka. The Astrophysical Journal.
Fig. 13 from the paper. The explosion outcomes are shown for five different 'engines' all calibrated to SN1987A. Engines are listed in increasing strength. NS=neutron star; BH=black hole.
In this work, we explore the explosion outcomes of 200 solar metallicity progenitor models between $\mathrm{9-120\ M_{\odot}}$ through a novel approach. Instead of placing the piston in an arbitrary location and dial-in the final kinetic energy at infinity, we first create series of calibrated (to SN1987A and SN1054 observations) ''engines'' from the combination of one-zone analytic core-cooling model and approximate neutrino-transport. Then we place these engines inside each progenitor, and follow the evolution until the remnant and ejecta are clearly separated (neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics is calculated with Prometheus-HOTB as described in Ertl et al. 2015). As we give up the luxury of exploding any star in any way we want, now the outcomes are based on the neutrino-driven mechanism and therefore heavily dependent on the progenitor structure - i.e. each successful explosion for each engine has a different energy, remnant mass and nucleosynthesis. As predicted in our prior work on progenitors, most stars explode below $\mathrm{20\ M_{\odot}}$ with significant modulation, and above there is a sea of black hole formation with a distinct island of explosions near $\mathrm{27\ M_{\odot}}$. We map the explosion results back into KEPLER to post-process the resulting nucleosynthesis (excluding r-process but including Type-Ia contribution) with a large network, and follow the light curves through flux-limited diffusion.
All calculations from this work are publicly available and are being applied to problems ranging from explosion mechanism to galactic chemical evolution.
The Compactness of Presupernova Stellar Cores
with Stan Woosley. The Astrophysical Journal.
Fig. 1 of Sukhbold et al. (2016). The compactness parameter, $\mathrm{\xi_{2.5}}$ , enclosing inner $\mathrm{2.5\ M_{\odot}}$ at the time of presupernova is shown as a function of initial mass for 200 solar metallicity non-rotating progenitors.

Interview: James Michael and DJ Ashba of Sixx: AM
Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:15:17
Sixx: A.M. Videos
The '80s was a decade that came to symbolize excess, with bands like Motley Crue providing the soundtrack for the full-throttle decadence. Crue bassist Nikki Sixx lived as hard as any musician on the scene and almost didn't live
to see the '90s as a result. He recently shared the pain of his struggle with addiction through his bestselling book The Heroin Diaries. The book collects a year's worth of diary entries from this time in his life, bolstered by interviews from those who knew him and illustrated with heart wrenching artwork that brings the entire testament to life.
When Nikki decided to craft a musical soundtrack to this tale he enlisted the help of vocalist James Michael and guitarist DJ Ashba: to form the the band Sixx: A.M.. The trio developed The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack as a companion piece to the autobiography, adding a moving sonic component to the Nikki's tortured words and pictures. Enjoying unexpected success with the album, James and DJ spoke with ARTISTdirect about their involvement in the deeply personal and ultimately cathartic experience of bringing Nikki's story to life in the studio.
"Life Is Beautiful" is totally tearing it up on the charts, you've got to feel really good about the success.
DJ Ashba: Everything about this has surprised us, just the way that we kind of turned this into a record. We didn't know what we were going to do when we first started. We went for kind of a cool record that is going to do whatever we want to do with no rules and no expectations. We absolutely never expected it to have a radio hit. So, everyday we're getting more and more great news about how good the single is doing and things that are happening with the record, but we couldn't be happier.
What's the second single going to be?
James Michael: The second single is going to be "Accidents Can Happen," which is actually kind of the big ballad on the record. It went real well, just from the playbacks we saw. We shot it up at the Sepulveda Dam and I mean, what a cool setting that is, just all the cement and man-made structures, it's just all open, and we just wanted to have wide open space like the song has. It was just amazing to watch the playbacks see the different feeling it gave you about the song.
Listening to this album, a lot of the songs are cinematic and have a grand and sweeping feel, and that song in particular. It's just a great song, and when they match up the visuals of the video, I'm sure it takes you up to the next level.
JM: It really does, I mean, we had gone through some different concepts for this video. The obvious route of telling a story with actual characters is much to the director's credit. He felt the size of the song and felt it was important to have this huge open space with all the gear and the amps spread out so that you go for very tight in shots of the performances. These spread-out things just remind the viewer how open it is. I was just taken back by it, it's very simple but also very classic in a way, as I think the song is. It's kind of an old school, classic ballad. I never cease to be amazed by the director Paul Brown; he's just incredible.
Have you worked with him before?
JM: Yeah, he's actually the guy that did the "Life is Beautiful" video, which is very stylistic and had a lot of the artwork and graphics from the book warped into the video. He's also the one that did the artwork for the book.
I felt a graphic novel vibe to the book because so much was going on around it.
JM: Absolutely. I've said this all along, but I really believe that Paul's visual interpretation really helped mold the sound of the record. It was a neat thing to be given some of these visuals even before we started writing as well, it was not only a character in the sounds, but it was an inspiration for the way it was going to sound.
The book is such a personal journey for Nikki, picking who he would bring along on the musical journey had to be serious process. How did he come to choose the two of you?
DJ: I think somehow our name was in a hat….no. [laughs] We've known Nikki for a few years, James has known him for a little longer.
JM: I would say that it wasn't much of a choice Nikki came down to. This is something that he has been conceptualizing for many many years; in fact we spoke about The Heroin Diaries about 5 or 6 years ago. He was only discovering the diaries, and we had a conversation. We were writing for other artists at the time, and we both thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to make a soundtrack to this?" Because the stories and the journal entries are so theatrical and so dramatic that it seemed like a neat idea. We had talked about that idea several years ago, and then it really wasn't until a few years later when Nikki and DJ got together that it seemed like a reality. I've said this all along, and I still believe that DJ is the missing link that turned this from a concept into a record. As soon as he came into the picture, Nikki and DJ started writing stuff. They started writing these amazing orchestral movements for what was going to be the soundtrack to the book or to the film. I don't believe that there ever was a moment when Nikki said that he could get something down.
DJ: James and I had written some songs and we wrote and produced with other artists. One day he (Nikki) walked in with a bunch of papers, which eventually were going to be his book, and I started reading it. Then he played me a couple songs and I remember "Dead Man's Ballet," and I was really blown away by it. I've always been very much into the orchestra soundtrack music. But when I heard "Dead Man's Ballet", I realized how big we could take this thing theatrically if there weren't any guidelines that we had to follow. Nikki was really good at giving us a wide-open canvas to paint on. He kind of lived this story and also—if this was ever to become a movie—he would know every scene in the movie. He was really good when me and James were writing it; he painted a vivid picture along with words from the book to be able to write to. It made the writing process really easy.
I know some people may have just been expecting a Motley Crue record. But you've written for artists clean across the board, and you can really hear that come out.
DJ: See James, I told you it didn't sound like Motley Crue. We tried.
Nikki's so honest in the book. Did you ever feel like you were hitting too close to home? Or was he just totally open and willing to explore and go through everything that was there on the page?

Spain, struggling with its own soaring public deficit, approved Friday its 9.7-billion-euro (12.3-billion-dollar) contribution to the bailout package for debt-laden Greece.
A cabinet meeting signed off on the payment, "which will be financed by public debt," a government statement said.
Eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund agreed at the weekend to a three-year 110-billion-euro (140-billion-dollar) package of loans to help Greece avoid insolvency.
Madrid's contribution corresponds to 12.24 percent of the Greek rescue package, a sum proportional to its stake in the European Central Bank.
Spain itself is struggling with a weak economy and a ballooning public deficit, which reached 11.2 percent of gross domestic product last year, the eurozone's third largest after Ireland's and Greece's.
It has been hammered on financial markets in recent days after its credit rating was downgraded by Standard & Poor's last week.

May 26 09 - Mawazine Festival in Morocco Update
The Mawazine Festival, is one of Morocco's premier cultural events lasting a week long, with street shows, an exhibition by Arab artists and events for children.

The Brothers represented New Orleans by playing a heavy set of funk for all the fans and locals who are able to enjoy the show for free. We are looking forward to heading back as soon as we can.

Preparing to drill its first hole into a Martian rock, NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover tested its own strength by hammering a rock this weekend that may have once been under running water.
NASA outfitted Curiosity with its biggest drill yet, which actually only drills down 1 inch. The drill is an important part of the mission, so Curiosity must first test the tools to make sure they're performing as expected in the Mars environment. The "pounding" seems successful, as NASA is moving forward with its drill plans.
Curiosity's main mission is to discover anything that might support the idea that life can exist on Mars. The rover is stationed in an area that "shows many signs of past exposure to liquid water, including light-colored mineral veins that were apparently deposited by flower water long ago," according to a blog post from NASA.
NASA also pointed out a tweet from Bobak Ferdowski (or as you may know him, that guy with the mohawk from the Jet Propulsion Lab) that read, "We tapped this rock on Mars with our drill. Keep it classy everyone."
We caught up with Ferdowki and had the pleasure of interviewing him on camera at the 2012 Crunchies. He accepted the award for Best Technology Achievement, since Curiosity seems be a bit tied up at the moment. Ferdowski surprised us all when he said Curiosity is actually a lady! That is, NASA considers all of its rovers to be female.
Check the video for more insight on the Curiosity program. We have to apologize for the audio, though! It has some static-y parts:

DOTA 2 Game Free Download PC
Dota 2 is a video game genre ARTS ( "strategy of action in real time"), also known as MOBA , released on July 9, 2013. The game was developed by Valve Corporation . The title was officially announced on October 13, 2010, in an article on the website Game Informer , subsequently entered its Beta stage in early 2011, and finally released to the general public through Steam the July 9, 2013 for Microsoft Windows , and July 18, 2013 for OS X and Linux , on June 17, 2015 Valve released the beta of the game using the new graphics engine Source 2 [Dota 2 Reborn], client will be the only and final shortly after the International 2015 according to the announcement remained faithful to its predecessor, while increased the quality of the final product, as well as offering an immersive and rewarding experience for players. However Dota 2 is currently criticized for having a hard learning curve and a community of the most hostile in the field of internet. He is currently the most played Steam game with more than 40.6 million players only ones that connect almost entirely on a daily basis and has come to be included in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition.
Valve Corporation organizes annually the world championship The International , which in its first edition was played in Cologne, Germany , in 2011. The 2014 edition in Seattle, United States , handed out US $ 10,927,499, and its 2015 edition distributed US $ 18,429,613. It is also characterized by its endless and tireless updates, reaching an average of one update per day.
A game of Dota 2 has a strength for each of the two opposing factions, The Dire and The Radiant, containing a main structure which is referred to as Ancestor, which are defended by several smaller buildings. Both opposite bases are connected by three main ways, which is also commonly referred to as lines or rails, these are monitored by a succession of three towers, and the appearance periodically (every minute) of groups of independent units called " creeps "who will advance per lane attacking all enemy units or structures that come into range of vision. Creeps each line appearing every minute they will be stronger if a team destroys the enemy barracks located within the respective strength.
Towers and creeps serve to divide the game between the teams; each of the teams is symbolized with a color (like green Radiant, Dire as red) in addition, the former are often the focal point of skirmishes between the two teams. The map of Dota 2 is, in its function, symmetrical, despite having a number of fundamental differences which confers a number of advantages and disadvantages to each side. The Radiant base is located in the southwest corner of the map, while the base Dire is in the northeast corner, the two sides are divided by a river that divides the map diagonally in half.
The two teams, generally composed of five players each face each other as the defenders of their respective Ancients. Through the map you can find groups of "neutral creeps , " which are not bound by any of the two factions and are mostly in forest or "jungle" but constitute a resource for players. Located on the southeast side of the river is a neutral creep called Roshan depending on the selected heroes and stage of the game may require a player to the team to kill him. After his death, Roshan will drop the Protection of the Immortal, object that prevents death who collect, raising him with all of their health and mana points.
If the immortal protection is not used in 5 or 6 minutes will disappear from the inventory of the user who owns it. Roshan dying for the third time let a cheese that instantly restores 2500 HP and 1000 mana.
Currently, there are 112 "Heroes" in Dota 2. Heroes are powerful units controlled by the player with unique special abilities. Although many other heroes have similar roles, each gives different advantages and limitations to the computer. The heroes begin to be weak at the beginning of the game, but will level up their skills and statistics, to be accumulating experience during the course of the game, can reach up to a maximum of twenty levels. The methods of combat heroes are heavily influenced by its main feature, which can be strength, agility, or intelligence. Most game modes offer equipment with a time of preparation before the game begins, so that you can decide the selection of heroes, as the composition of the team can significantly affect your performance throughout the game. Because Dota 2 is highly team – oriented game, players must coordinate and plan their actions with their peers in order to achieve victory.
Players have six slots inventory, which are filled by buying items for gold, the main currency of the game. These items vary dramatically in their function: some merely improve the statistics of a hero, while others give them additional skills that can be activated or passive. Its price varies in relation to their benefit. Although gold is constantly given (at a slow pace), the most expensive item normally only are purchased by the heroes with a rate of accumulation of fairly high gold, which usually is achieved by efficiently kill the creeps, heroes or enemy structures. Kill non-player gives gold only to the player who gave the final blow, while killing heroes gives gold a murderer and any close ally, and the destruction of towers or kill Roshan gives gold to all team players plus a reward in addition to one who has given the final blow. In addition to the gold loot, kill units and structures will be rewarded with experience as players meet goals, allowing their heroes level up. "Deny" is a feature of the game that allows players the ability to reduce the accumulation of gold and experience to kill an allied unit or destroy an allied structure before destroying enemy

A True Full Service Tool Shop for Injection Blow
Blow Molds – Designed In-house
Our core business has always been Injection Blow Molds for three and four station machines. Additionally we have been designing and building single and two stage Stretch Blow Molds since 1996. Hammonton Mold is well versed in the design and manufacture of tolling for Jomar, Uniloy, Pet All, Wheaton, Nissei, or Aoki machines.
You will be hard pressed to find another tool shop with 30 years of our level of expertise in Injection Blow Molding. During that time we have seen customers grow and merge into each other. The old joke is that, "The names stay the same. Just the business cards change." Hammonton Mold has been serving this tight knit industry helping customers as they need to merge product lines and transition molds across machine platforms. We don't feel that our success has been a result of luck but one of hard work and placing customers' needs first.
When responding to a customer issue, speed is not the most important aspect of our response. Rather accuracy of information and viability (including cost) of successful implementation. A well thought out and engineered plan trumps a shot from the hip. This is most evident when you consider how many of our competitors have fallen away. Too many of them fell short when it came to innovating tooling that would make customer plants more profitable. At Hammonton Mold we are not satisfied at just getting by with tools the way they were made twenty yeas ago. We innovate solution to improve our customer's bottom line.
The photo above shows a typical stock cream jar used in the cosmetics industry. Our injection blow molds have ranged in size from 1cc to 2L. Both of those successful containers were used for the scientific and laboratory testing. In that market segment we have also developed new tooling for disposable poly carbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Some have been flasked shaped with engraved graduations in sizes 125mL, 250mL, and 500mL. While others were roller culture bottles and wide mouth rounds. The precision of injection blow molded neck finishes and controlled side wall thickness is most sought after in these types of containers.
Do you need Hardware or Tools?
Visit our online for the odds and ends that every tool room and Injection Blow Mold tech should have on hand. Don't get stuck because the tool can't go back into production without new manifold nozzles.
3D LASER Scanning
When the need arises, we can use a 3D LASER scanner to verify tooling dimensions or to reverse engineer tooling. This gives us the ability to scan a point cloud surface and compare it our engineered CAD geometry. If variations from the anticipated model exist they can be easily identified.
In those cases where you have old tools and there is no record of the past we can build reverse the design and bring it into our CAD system. One example of this was when Mylanta had gone from an extrusion blow molded bottle to a new modern injection blow tool. Our team worked closely with the customer to ensure that every facet and radius matched the iconic shapes. In then end the shapes where indistinguishable from the original.
The most common use for reverse engineering and digitization has been cosmetics. When a bottle shape goes from an artist concept sketch to hand carved model the final appearance trumps all other concerns.
LASER Engraving
All of our tools are LASER engraved in house. We also provide engraving services to other mold and tooling shops. With our, five axis, 100 watt YAG LASER we have the ability to do micro engraving with a beam diameter of .003″. The repeatably and consistency of the LASER also allows us to engrave graduations and scales on cavity side walls.
It is also a simple matter to import customer logos and other art work directly in to the engraving system. For our injection mold customers who prefer to use Electron Discharge Machines (EDM) for final engraving shapes, we can work directly on your graphite electrodes. Although with our LASER we are capable of engraving deep inside of cavities and tight spaces. Something that can not be done with traditional pantograph and cnc machines.

text: Yeah, I watch that HGTV. Sometimes it's kinda informative. But today one of thier shows was talking about aerating. They did a lawn with a Bluebird. Then the guy says that homeowners can rent a unit like this, or if you have a large lawn, you can hire a company to do this for about $35 to $40. Obviously "large lawn" is a subjective term. It can mean alot of different things to alot of different people. So to give an actual $ amount seems pretty stupid. Now some woman with a 1.5 to 2 acre lawn is going to call a company and tell them she'd like her lawn aerated, and when they give her the price, she's gonna say, but the guy on TV said it would be around $35 to $40 !?!?! LOL! Nice going HGTV!!!
