In Match 2349090 i followed my friend Sxx into the game. after the completion of the game and after returning to the lobby i select to un-follow him. I leave to get dinner and come back an hour later with 2 leaves added to my stats, why? because i followed my friend into a game which he left, before it began, and since i was no longer following, i didn't leave with him. this happened twice, until he logged off, in Match 2351605 and Match 2352020. However it seems after watching the replays, i disconnect immediately after the commencing of the game.
can you please remove these leaves from my stats if you confirm this to be a bug
also, the patch notes state as above, however you do not unfollow after you are in a game that starts. please fix
a quick question, if you are following someone, does that mean when they leave the game lobby, you leave aswell?
EDIT: and if i was still following him, i would never have taken a slot anyway so i wouldn't have been able to play the games. which is kind of weird.
just referring back to this
so if he left the game, i should have left too?
and since i was in a game that starts the first time, why would i join the second game by following?
i dont understand what happened because i was afk and didnt get to see.

Governor Pat Quinn has renewed his call for a ban on so-called assault weapons. His remarks came in response to a federal court decision that says Illinois has to legalize carrying concealed weapons. The federal appeals court in Chicago says Illinois has 180 days to pass a law that allows for some form of concealed carry.
A three-judge panel of the 7th District U.S. Court of Appeals today rejected the Illinois ban on carrying concealed weapons.
Combining appeals from federal district courts in central and southern Illinois, the 2-1 decision declares that the state failed to provide "more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety."
Illinois remains the only the state that doesn't allow concealed-carry of firearms. Supporters of the movement are hopeful lawmakers in Springfield will eventually approve such a law. In the meantime, Illinois residents wanting a permit can still apply for one. But there's a catch.
Members of the Rockford Tea Party hope they are a step closer to persuading lawmakers that Illinoisans have the right to carry concealed firearms.

The Next Golden Age? Using History to Inspire Science Today
Dr. Natalie Day
Abstract | Short biography
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 1-2: Dr. Natalie Day presenting his lecture in the "1001 Inventions" conference. © FSTC 2010.
On behalf of Lord Rees and the Royal Society, it is my great privilege to speak today at this important forum – celebrating the enormous historical contribution of the Islamic world to modern day science. Looking back 800 years to the golden age of Islamic world science, there are a plethora of exceptional individuals from whom to draw inspiration. The 1001 Inventions exhibition is a truly remarkable achievement in terms of promoting a deeper understand of the contributions of these individuals to the very basic foundations of science as we know it today. Whilst Lord Rees regrets that he was unable to join us today due to other commitments, he was keen for me to express his congratulations and personal thanks to Professor Salim Al-Hassani for his passion and commitment to this event and the 1001 Inventions exhibition more generally.
This is the Royal Society's 350th year, yet in the context of the historical period we are to consider today, we are quite a young organisation. My address today, however, will be taking a slightly different perspective to the other speakers. I will talk about what we refer to as a potential new renaissance in science, technology and innovation across the Islamic world today, and what lessons or inspiration might be draw from the Golden Age. In particularly, I wanted to alert you all to a new and exciting project which the Society has embarked upon with the Organisation of Islamic Conference and a number of other partners, exploring this changing landscape of science and innovation across the Islamic world. The project – The Atlas of Islamic World Science and Innovation – is something I will come to in more detail shortly, but firstly let me take you on a quick tour of some of the changes across the Islamic world.
Large image
Figure 3: Recent analysis in the news of the theme Islam and science from the perspective of science and innovation across the contemporary Islamic world.
Islam and Science
This slide (fig. 1) depicts a special edition of Nature which was produced in November 2006 – which drew much needed attention to some of the recent ambitions, and also some of the challenges facing science in the Islamic-world.
Eye catching developments in several countries suggest the potential for a wider renaissance in the science and innovation capacities of the Islamic world. Understanding these changes and the opportunities for, and constraints to, further progress is an important task for the international scientific community. Just as China, India and Brazil emerged over the past 20 years as significant players in international research, so countries like Turkey, Iran, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are now investing at such a scale that their future contribution to global science deserves serious and sustained attention.
Let's look at some of these investments in more detail.
Looking to Saudi Arabia
This is a picture (fig. 2) from the recent opening of the new King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I had the good fortune of visiting this university last month and it is difficult not to feel inspired by an experiment on such a scale. With an endowment of around US$20 billion, KAUST is attracting faculty and postgraduate students from across the world. As a graduate-only institution, it aims to rival the California Institute of Technology for prestige within 20 years.
Figure 4: View from the new King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
KAUST is fascinating for other reasons as well. In a country where women's rights are tightly restricted, the campus is uniquely co-educational, women are allowed to drive and many choose not to wear the veil.
The success of this university and its capacity to influence the broader STI landscape within Saudi Arabia is yet to be seen, but it is certainly an important institution to watch.
UAE & The World's First Sustainable City
Moving on to one of Saudi's neighbours, this is a picture taken from the Masdar Initiative in Abu Dhabi, within the United Arab Emirates. Due to open later this year, Masdar aims to be the world's first fully sustainable city and innovation hub. It will eventually house 50,000 people and 1,500 businesses focused on renewable energy and sustainable technologies.
Figure 5: Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The project is not without its critics. Some argue that Masdar is a token investment made by a government flush with cash as a concession to environmental pressures. Critics like to point out that Masdar's carbon-neutral targets only apply from the moment it goes into full operation and not during construction.
However, the fact remains that few countries have the capacity to invest so substantially in clean technologies. Masdar's targets are ambitious, but the entire world and not just the Gulf region will benefit if they are achieved.
Promise on the Peninsula
And staying in that same neighbourhood, Qatar – whilst far smaller in terms of geography and population - shares similar levels of ambition and investment. This is a picture of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned and Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society. We were very honoured to host Her Highness during her recent visit to London in April and I'm pleased to report that the Qatar Foundation have now come on board as a partners in our Atlas project, which I will come to in more detail shortly.
Figure 6: Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned and Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society.
Led by the efforts of the Sheikha, Qatar aims to spend an impressive 2.8% of its GDP on research by 2015 – which equates to approximately US$1.4 billion.
Beyond the Gulf States
Whilst we do not have time today to go through the numerous examples of investments elsewhere, it is important to also stress that this renewed ambition and investment in science is not isolated to the richer Gulf States. Among the African states that are members of the Organisation of Islamic Conference, Nigeria has been one of the most active. In 2006, it created a National Council for Research and Development, and invested US$5 billion in its Petroleum Technology Development Fund which aims to encourage more research and training.
Figure 7: A view of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
These are all encouraging signs. But it is not to say that the path to a more innovative Islamic world is not without challenges or barriers. The bricks and mortar are arguably the simple part of any educational or scientific investment. If we take the pulse of science today across the 57 countries of the OIC, R&D spend averages just 0.38% of GDP compared with a global average of 1.7%. There is a long way to go. The capacity of countries, where rote learning is commonplace and the questioning of authority is often taboo, to engender an innovative and curious culture is also questionable.
Despite these challenges, it is important to understand how science and innovation is changing and how some of these barriers might be overcome.
Perhaps more importantly, through the promotion of collaboration and exchange, science provides avenues for rebuilding trust and understanding between the Islamic world, Europe and the United States, after a period in which relations have sometimes been strained.
This is where the Atlas of Islamic World Science and Innovation project comes in.
The Atlas of Islamic World Science and Innovation
Inspired by signs of renewed ambition and investment in education, science and innovation, this three year project aims to explore the changing landscape of science and innovation across a diverse selection of countries with large Muslim populations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Looking in detail at fifteen economically and geographically diverse countries, including Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Qatar, Pakistan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Senegal and Azerbaijan, the project will chart the delicate interplay between science, innovation, culture and politics. It will explore new opportunities for partnership and exchange with the wider world.
Figure 8
It is a project of many partners – from across the Islamic-world, Europe and North America, including the British Council, the International Development Research Centre of Canada, the Qatar Foundation, Nature, the Royal Society and the five family institutions of the OIC. Jointly managed by the Royal Society and the OIC, this project is overseen by a Joint Management Team made up of all partners and chaired by Professor Ihsanoglu, whom we heard some opening remarks from today.
Detailed country studies, to be released over the next two years, will provide an insightful overview of science and innovation in fifteen countries. This will include an independent and authoritative assessment of how capabilities are changing, and analysis of the opportunities and barriers to further progress.
Another important feature of the project is the role of in-country partners. By working closely with national research partners, national governments, universities and other stakeholders throughout the process, our aim will be to build up a cadre of trained research analysts in each country studied who can then take forward the learning and recommendations of the project.
We have only just begun. Country studies are now underway in Malaysia, Qatar, Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt, with national research partners including the University of Malaya, the Lahore University of Management Studies, the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Qatar, and the Princess Sumaya University of Science and Technology in Jordan. Starting with the release of the Malaysia case study at the OIC Meeting of Higher Education and Scientific Research Ministers in Kuala Lumpur in October this year, a steady flow of country reports will then be released throughout 2011 and early 2012.
Countries in Focus
As mentioned, this project will consider 15 geographically and economically diverse countries including:
From the Middle East and North Africa:IranEgyptJordanSaudi ArabiaQatarUnited Arab Emirates
From Sub-Saharan Africa:NigeriaSenegalSudan
From Europe and Central Asia:TurkeyKazakhstanAzerbaijan
From South and East Asia and Pacific:MalaysiaPakistanIndonesia
Figure 9
Lessons from the Past
For organisations like the Royal Society and other international partners, this project is important because it engages a range of countries that have been largely ignored by international science and innovation policy. As a result, there is a substantial gap in knowledge and awareness of how far and fast things may be changing.
Figure 10
As one of the oldest scientific academies in the world, a priority of the Royal Society since 1660 has been to map and make sense of international developments in science and innovation. Today, the Islamic world represents one of the most important arenas within which to undertake this task. This project, therefore, has great potential to bridge the knowledge gap that has grown, to support new collaborations, and to improve learning about what constitutes effective policy for science and innovation between OIC countries, and between the OIC and the wider world.
But there is a range of question that I am interested in exploring with this prestigious audience today, based on your own expertise in the historical golden age of Islamic science.
1. What will it take to bring the Islamic world back to the Golden Age of Science and Innovation?2. How can we more effectively use the historical achievements across the Islamic-World to:- Stimulate interest? - Instill confidence? - Provide positive role models for science and innovation? - Challenge some perceptions about the Islamic World?3. What role do you think science can play in rebuilding trust and promoting greater understanding both between the Islamic world and the rest of the world.
Understanding and learning from the history is integral to the success of the Atlas project and I look forward to engaging with you all as our project evolves.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to reflect on the current context of science and innovation in the Islamic world and I am sure that over the course of today's conference there will be much for me to learn and draw from for the Atlas project.
Thank you also to Professor Al-Hassani and on behalf of the Royal Society, we wish the conference and the 1001 Inventions exhibition every success.
by: Dr. Natalie Day, Wed 04 August, 2010
[Proceedings of the conference 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World organised by FSTC, London, 25-26 May 2010].
In this excellent statement addressed by HH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, President of El Hassan Science City and President of the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan, in the opening sessions of the international conference "1001 Inventions: Discover Muslim Heritage in Our World", issues of the past glory of Muslim science are evoked in the perspective of innovative projects that are being developed in the present. HH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan alluded particularly to the current collaboration between The Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization and scientific institutions in Jordan to develop an iconic brand in the spirit of our ingenious forebears. Statement of HE Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu in the Opening Session by: Prof. Ekmeleddin IhsanogluProfessor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu
In this elogious statement addressed to the international conference organised by Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization (FSTC) in London, HE Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and a world class historian of science expresses his admiration for the efforts deployed by FSTC to promote the knowledge about Muslim heritage and outlines the salient traits of the contribution of Muslim civilisation to world history and culture. Environment on the Edge by: Sir Crispin TickellSir Crispin Tickell
In this concentrated and well written article, Sir Crispin Tickell addresses one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our times, that of environment. Beyond our actual social and economic problems, the biggest crisis that surrounds us regards the condition of the global environment and its future prospects. In the last period, awareness of environmental issues has entered our daily concerns. However, we still need to think about all the implications of this vast issue. Arguing that our environment is at present on the edge, Sir Crispin Tickell outlines what certainly will be our biggest preoccupation in a near future. Status of Research in the History of Astronomy in the Arab World by: Professor Hamid M. K. Al-NaimyProfessor Hamid M. K. Al-Naimy
The aim of this paper is to introduce the status of research and studies on the history of astronomy in some Arab countries, in regard to research, studies, translations and manuscript editing, including the research activities in Sharjah (UAE). The focus is laid on a proposal for establishing an International Foundation for the History of Islamic Sciences, as an independent international, non profit and legal foundation whose headquarters are suggested to be hosted at the University City of Sharjah. Sustainability in its Historical Context by: Dr Anne-Maria BrennanDr Anne-Maria Brennan
Departing from a definition of sustainability as a concept that involves the management of resources with intergenerational equity in mind, with a deep cultural dimension, Dr Brennan investigates briefly examples from the past that may help us today to solve present problems in resources management. Those examples include water use in antiquity, the environmental concept of Hima in Muslim civilisation and ancient Chinese eco-engineering. They cast light on the ways in which we can learn from the history both in terms of our mistakes and past attempts at solving problems of sustainable development.

I didn't even use these a lot. I got 2 of them for light DIY stuff around the house, so it was not heavy use. After only a short time I can try to tighten the handle and the locking portion just slides down the grooved shaft... won't even tighten any more. Don't have to go to ************** to buy Chinese garbage, you can get it at Sears.

Minnesota's debt was downgraded today by Fitch, a debt ratings agency. Fitch claims they downgraded the state's debt because of the ongoing government shutdown and stand off between Governor Dayton and Republican controlled House and Senate. Is Fitch for real or are they just part of the establishment that wants to see more and more debt. Apparently the state of Minnesota is more at risk of default because of contentious budget battles in recent years. Really?
Perhaps this is a threat to Minnesota taxpayers. Since many are unwilling to pay higher taxes, perhaps you can be convince with the threat of having to pay higher interest rates. IF the state government holds the line on raising taxes and limiting the budget, Fitch's downgrade in the State of Minnesota's debt just means that we will have to pay the bond holders more money (i.e. interest) at the expense of all the other programs the state has in place…moving money from the poor to the wealthy. Is that what they wanted? Perhaps.

Dear Ms. Jacob. Readers: This book is hardcore, heavy-duty, almost-but-not-quite non-consensual BDSM. I hesitate to call it a romance and yet it really almost is. It's total 24/7 dehumanization of the female submissive. It is NOT for everyone. I loved it and I heartily recommend it, but readers, please read my review before buying, because(…)

ST. LOUIS — Sunday night was the kind of game that the St. Louis Blues of not-too-distant vintage might have found a way to lose.
Down 3-1 late in the second period and running on fumes while playing their third game in four days and sixth in a nine-day stretch, the Blues found another level of determination.
They turned that 3-1 deficit into a 5-4 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild as Vladimir Sobotka netted the game-winner 2 minutes, 16 seconds into the extra period.
"You can use that as an excuse, but everyone around the league is in the same boat," Blues winger Chris Stewart said when asked about the difficulties of a compressed schedule during a 48-game regular season. "Obviously six (games) in nine (days) there, the legs are kinda burning out there in the third period but we've got the day off tomorrow. We really wanted to bail (goalie Brian Elliott) out there and it was good to get the win."
Blues defenseman Roman Polak used good speed to gain the zone on Sobotka's goal, losing the puck momentarily before grabbing it back and sending it to Andy McDonald.
With Sobotka banging away for space in front, McDonald found him and Sobotka scored his first goal of the season.
"That's what we practice all the time, I just stayed in front of the net and Andy made a good play," Sobotka said. "It landed right on my stick. ... It ended up in the net and I'm happy for it. I'm glad that we got two points."
The win pushed the Blues to 5-1 and they hung on despite allowing the Wild to score four times on just 16 shots.
A goal from Patrik Berglund late in the second period breathed new life into the Blues, who had fallen behind 3-1 about a minute earlier.
"We had a real big goal there by Bergie late in the second to get us within one and then we had a real strong third period, too," said Blues defenseman Wade Redden, who scored his second goal in two games.
A newcomer to the Blues, Redden has been impressed by the team's desire and blue-collar work ethic.
"I think that's what you need to win night-in and night-out, that mentality and determination," he said. "I think guys got a taste here last year and had some success, so they've seen what it takes."
Unsuccessful on five power plays Sunday, the Blues at least kept the Wild busy killing them off.
The Blues collected the tying goal when Stewart deflected in a shot by Alex Pietrangelo at 11:29 of the third period.
Blues defenseman Barret Jackman scored the go-ahead goal 2 minutes, 18 seconds later on a shot from the right point with Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom screened in front.
Both goals came on assists by Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, who has racked up eight assists in six games.
Minnesota's Dany Heatley tied it with 4 minutes, 8 seconds remaining on a goal that stood after going to video review, but the Blues kept battling.
"It wasn't because we were tired, we were just kind of getting beat around the ice," Shattenkirk said. "We were just playing lazy. When we're on our game, we're a strong team and we just did a good job in the third of coming out and finding it again."
The second goal in two games by the 35-year-old Redden put the Blues on top 1-0 midway through opening period. Redden took a pass from behind the net by David Backes and sent a sizzling one-timer past Backstrom.
In two seasons and 156 games with the New York Rangers from 2008, Redden had only five goals. The first-period goal Sunday gave him two in three games with the Blues.
Before he scored against Dallas on Saturday, Redden's last NHL goal came on March 18, 2010 for the Rangers against the Blues.
It was a less than memorable second period for the Blues as the Wild got two power-play goals from Zach Parise on their first two shots in the period.
Early in the period, Parise's shot from the side of the net snaked its way through Elliott's leg and appeared to go in off his skate.
The goal was the first allowed by the Blues at home this season after Jaroslav Halak posted back-to-back shutouts. They had outscored Detroit and Nashville by a combined 9-0 while killing off all eight opponent power plays.
Mikko Koivu put the Wild up 3-1 on a goal that stood up on video review, but the Blues climbed back within a goal on Berglund's with 4 minutes, 22 seconds remaining in the period,
The goals by Koivu and Berglund each were scored while the teams were playing 4-on-4.

C-M boys hold on to beat sharp shooting Saydel
Free throws and post buckets usually tell the story of a gritty, hard fought game. But in Colfax on Thursday, it was simply a tale of two halves.
The Tigerhawks of Colfax-Mingo outlasted the Saydel Eagles (1-16), 73-58, in a marathon second half that included over 30 fouls and just as many combined free throw attempts.
"The free throw game can be a big factor in a lot of games, particularly when you're shooting two instead of the one-and-one, it allows our guys to relax a little knowing they have two shots," Colfax coach John Borts said. "(Austin) Yoakum knocked down key free throws that helped seal things up. Overall, it was a good team win."
The game started with some good physical play inside. The entire first half was back and forth as neither team could secure a significant edge, much of this had to do with outside shooting.
Saydel came out on fire from beyond the arch. Junior Alex Gustafson hit five of his six three point attempts in the first half to lead a tremendous team shooting performance in the first half. Good ball movement and mid-range shooting by senior Connor Hainer kept the Tigerhawks close.
More threes by Saydel senior BJ Freeman and junior Kyle Walter gave the Eagles a 33-30 halftime lead.

After a couple of down years, the Cape Fear region is again a focal point for major-college football recruiters as we close in on the start of the 2013 high school season.
Already, three region seniors have given verbal commitments to Football Bowl Subdivision programs, and a fourth has made a pledge to a future FBS team. The first trio to make commitments were Jack Britt offensive lineman Kyle Erickson (East Carolina), Pine Forest linebacker Harold Landry (Boston College) and Gray's Creek wide receiver-safety Jefferie Gibson (N.C. State).
Joining that group over the weekend was Hoke County lineman Tobias Edge-Campbell, who made a verbal commitment to Appalachian State. The Mountaineers, of course, have been a powerhouse at the Football Championship Subdivision for years, but will be making the move to the FBS level next season and the Sun Belt Conference. They won't be eligible for the Sun Belt title or a postseason bowl bid until 2015.
The shift to the FBS by Appalachian State was a definite factor in Edge-Campbell's decision, according to Hoke County coach Milton Butts.
"He wanted to play Division I football, so that was a factor,'' Butts said Tuesday. "He liked the program up there. We sent them some film and they were interested. They got him up there for camp and he liked it.
"Tobias is one of those kids who works really hard. He can play any line position on the field. But I think they've recruited him as a center.''
Edge-Campbell also had offers from Furman, Elon and N.C. A&T, Butts said. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder was a first-team All-Southeastern 4-A Conference selection as a junior offensive guard, but also started at defensive tackle for the Bucks.
The Mountaineers now have eight players committed to their recruiting Class of 2014.
Two of the biggest prospects in the Cape Fear region are also the most highly sought after at this point. Pine Forest defensive tackle Lamont Gaillard and E.E. Smith defensive tackle Arthur Williams have received multiple scholarship offers and are expected to make their final decisions within the next month.
The 6-2, 300-plus-pound Gaillard has entertained offers from some of the nation's top powerhouse programs, including two-time defending national champion Alabama. Other offers have come from Clemson, East Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Notre Dame and South Carolina.
But according to Pine Forest coach Bill Sochovka, Gaillard has narrowed that list to two favorites - Clemson and Georgia. Sochovka expects Gaillard to make a verbal commitment to the Bulldogs after making an unofficial visit to Athens, Ga., on July 20.
"He's going to take his mom down there, and I'm pretty confident he'll verbally commit when he goes down there,'' Sochovka said Tuesday. "I'm 99.9 percent sure. In fact, there was a possibility he might visit Clemson, but we talked to them this morning and they asked if he was really serious about it (committing to Georgia). In a very nice way they said if you're set on Georgia, don't feel you have to visit them.
"Either way, I'm pretty confident he'll announce a decision by the end of the month.''
The attention continues to grow for the 6-5, 315-pound Williams. Auburn, East Carolina, Florida State and Miami have extended scholarship offers already, new E.E. Smith head coach Ernest King said Tuesday. Williams has made an unofficial visit to ECU and has plans to travel to the other three schools during the next month. King believes Virginia Tech is also on the verge of offering Williams.
A decision by Williams could come before E.E. Smith kicks off its 2013 season in August.
"The reason he says that (commitment before August) is he wants to go through his senior season without a lot of pressure on him,'' King said. "At the end of the summer, we'll look at things and if he decides to make a decision, I will support him 100 percent.''
Former Jack Britt receiver Jalen McDaniel, who was Cumberland County's fourth-leading receiver last season with 45 catches for 827 yards and nine touchdowns, will attend Jireh Prep in Charlotte this fall. Jack Britt coach Brian Rimpf said Monday that McDaniel, who committed to N.C. State last season, is expected to re-open his recruitment. "He really didn't go through the whole (recruiting) process because he committed so early last year,'' Rimpf said. "He's looking forward to looking at his options again.'' ... Pine Forest kicker Patrick Woods has been offered an opportunity to play for South Carolina as a preferred walk-on with the chance to receive a scholarship after his first year on campus, according to coach Bill Sochovka.

In the universe of motion the inward and outward forces arrive at an equilibrium, as indicated in the foregoing paragraphs. No condensation would take place if this equilibrium persisted, but the continued introduction of new matter from the cosmic sector alters the situation. The added mass strengthens the gravitational force, and initiates a contraction. The decrease in the distance between particles increases the gravitational force still further. The contraction is thus a self-reinforcing process, and once it is started it accelerates, The two processes that have been described, the gradual contraction of the very large diffuse aggregate and the consolidation of the individual atoms and sub-atomic particles into molecules and dust particles, take place coincidentally. The drastic reduction in the number of separate units in the aggregate resulting from the consolidation results in an excess of empty space within the contracting volume, and causes the contracting sphere of matter to break up into a large number of smaller aggregates separated by nearly empty space. The product is a globular cluster, in which a large number of submassesup to a million or moreare contained within the overall gravitational limit of a large spherical aggregate. Each of the sub-masses is outside the gravitational limits of its neighbors, and is therefore moving away from them, but it is being pulled inward by the gravitational force of the entire aggregate.
We believe that no star has existed forever — because sooner or later its energy sup-ply must run out — and so we must account for the birth of stars. Inasmuch as those stars that we believe to be young are always found close to clouds of interstellar dust and gas, we argue that such clouds of cosmic matter must be contracting slowly, giving rise to increasingly compact condensations, some of which eventually collapse down to stellar size. This picture makes a good deal of sense. Dust grains in interstellar space are very effective at radiating away heat. When a hydrogen atom in a cloud of dust and gas collides with a cold dust grain, the grain becomes slightly heated and radiates away this energy in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This results in a net loss of kinetic energy of the gas, which gravitates toward the center of the cloud, gains some kinetic energy in falling, and again transfers a part of this to ambient dust grains to repeat the cooling cycle. The gas also transfers some of its centrally directed momentum to grains, thus also causing the grains to drift in toward the center of the contracting cloud. The cloud as a whole contracts. Grain radiation is not the only radiative process that rids a protostellar cloud of energy. As it collapses, the protostar becomes progressively hotter, and various molecular and atomic states are excited through collisions. The excited particles emit radiation to return to their ground states. As radiation escapes, the net loss of energy cools the cloud (Fig. 1.2). Attractive though it is, there are difficulties with this picture. First, the protostar cannot just lose energy in forming a star. It must also lose angular momentum. The amount of matter needed to form a star from an interstellar cloud with a density 10^3atoms cm^−3 requires the collapse of gas from a volume whose initial radius r would be of order 10^18 cm. Over such distances, the observed rotational velocity v, about the cloud's center might be ~10^4 cm s^−1 for a cold Galactic molecular cloud, so that the angular momentum per unit mass rv~10^22 cm^2 s^−1. In contrast, the observed surface velocities of typical stars indicate an angular momentum per unit mass many orders of magnitude lower: 10^16 to 10^18.3 cm^2 s^−1. For the Sun, it is only ~10^15 cm^2 s^-1, but the angular momentum of the Solar System taken as a whole corresponds to 10^17 cm^2 s^−1. Entries in Table 1.4 allow us to conclude that most of the angular momentum resides in the motion of Jupiter orbiting the Sun. A comparison of the rotational velocities of stars given in Table A.4 of Appendix A, further indicates that the angular momentum of the entire Solar System equals that of more massive stars of spectral types F and A. It is therefore tempting to associate the observed low angular momentum of less massive stars with the formation of planetary systems. The initially contracting cloud of interstellar matter somehow contrives to redistribute almost all of its angular momentum to a gaseous disk that eventually gives rise to orbiting planets. Only a small fraction of the angular momentum is retained by the star. A similar problem concerns themagnetic fieldinitially present in the interstellar medium. If this field is predominantly oriented along some given direction, then the final field after contraction of the cloud to form a star would also have that direction. The flux density B of the magnetic field permeating a cloud is inversely proportional to the cross-section of the area of the cloud as it contracts, as long as the magnetic lines of force act as if frozen to the partially ionized gas (Section 6:2). Thus, the number of these lines of force threading through the cross-sectional area stays constant. A field, B, initially as weak as 10^−6 gauss would become some 10^14 times stronger as the protostellar radius decreased from 10^18 down to 10^11 cm. Actual fields found on the surfaces of stars like the Sun are of the order of one gauss, and the highest fields observed in a few peculiar stars only range up to tens of thousands of gauss. Protostellar contraction must therefore beaccompanied by destruction or loss of magnetic field lines permeating the interstellar material. How this loss occurs is still under active investigation.

Saul Levine, owner of Go Country and K-Mozart (KMZT, 1260 AM) recently wrote an essay for radio engineering newspaper Radio World, regarding the supposed demise of AM radio. Essentially, he says, the problem with AM is self-doubt.
"AM radio can become robust again if we overcome the self-doubt and lethargy that is consuming the thinking of radio operators," he insists. "We must invigorate programming and invest in improvements in the technical side of the AM facilities.
"AM has become a dumping ground for lackluster programming," he says.
Levine is right. Not only has AM become a dumping ground, few programmers believe in it enough to even try.
More than 20 years ago, while doing research on a story to highlight successful AM music stations, I was appalled by the attitude held by so many programmers that success on AM wasn't worth the effort - if a format was successful, then it would be copied by an FM station.
I have long held that it is bad programming that caused AM's demise. Bad programming forced listeners to FM and eventually to iPods and satellite.
Parr for the morning
Shawn Parr returns to mornings on Go Country (KKGO, 105.1 FM) as the station shuffles the lineup a bit. Parr replaces Ryan Fox, who is off the air for now. Moving from evenings to Parr's old 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. slot is Ginny Harman
Station owner Levine told me Fox ultimately will continue with the station and hints that other minor changes may be coming.
Leykis' numbers
It was 20 years ago this weekend that Tom Leykis was fired from KFI (640 AM). And it was six months ago that the former local radio personality launched his online program, heard at http://BlowMeUpTom.com and via the TuneIn smartphone app.
So perhaps it is fitting that this week Leykis' ratings were released showing more than a half-million live listeners or podcast downloads during the most recent listener count, covering the last three weeks of September.
Readers react
Recent reader emails are going against the new "Heidi & Frank" (Heidi Hamilton and Frank Kramer) morning show on KLOS (95.5 FM). Does this mean trouble ahead for the Mark & Brian replacements? Perhaps, but read on.
First the bad:
Bruce Erickson: "I tried listening ... I swear I lost IQ points doing so."
Gretchen Renata: "I have turned off the radio during my commute, dusted off the old cassette tapes and couldn't be happier!"
Sandra Dale: "After four frustrating weeks giving Heidi and Frank the opportunity to work out some of the bugs and settle in a bit, I've given up."
Robert Rainey: "I do not find them funny or entertaining and have been put off by the overall crudeness of the show. I now listen to NPR on my way to work."
Tara Kirkland: "I've turned them off."
Marla Allen: "I also was wondering if others were as lost as me trying to find something to listen to in the morning. All I can come up with is audio books."
Lisa Sutton: "There is nothing, nothing, nothing to like about them. Listening to them for even a short period of time gives me a headache."
You get the idea.
But there is an opposing side, and it must be remembered that "Mark & Brian's" Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps were not given an amazing welcome when they first came to town.
As Craig McArthur emailed, "Give Frank and Heidi some time. They beat Elder or Hannity or Limbaugh for having some fun in the morning."
Perhaps reader John Miller said it best for fans of the show: "H&F are a different brand of comedy but they grow on you, and fast, believe me. I have been with them now for about six-plus years and they don't disappoint in the laughs department. I would guess that their demographic is in the 30-45 year range but I'm sure they have no shortage of younger listeners as you can hear with the recent call-ins to their new show. If you want to get even spicier and give your ears a verbal beating so to speak, listen to them on their website, www.heidiandfrank.com, just plain good stuff.
"People please give them more time before you turn that dial and don't be afraid to call them up personally. They are actually very pleasant in person."
It's a big thing to replace a long-running program like Mark & Brian. Like John asks, I think I will still give them more time.

Money management is important for people of all ages, especially college students and those entering the "real world" after college. Reports show that the average undergraduate student in the United States had over $3,000 in credit card debt in 2008. Students should know how to manage their money while in college, to help them prepare for life after college. The below links can help college students manage their finances during and after college.
Issues with gambling are becoming increasingly common in the United States, especially among college students. Statistics vary, but studies show that approximately 25% of college men gambled each week in 2005. It is also estimated that 10% of college students (18-24) can be considered problem gamblers and have experienced negative consequences as a result of gambling.
Students may choose to gamble for a number of reasons, including relieving stress, to make money, for entertainment, to add excitement to sporting events, and more. College students currently have the highest prevalence rate of compulsive gamblers. There are many signs of a gambling addiction; these may vary person to person. These include:
If you are a UK student and you think that you or a friend may have a gambling addiction or other gambling issues, you can contact the Counseling Center at 859-257-8701 or UHS Behavioral Health 859-323-5511 for information on coping with your addiction.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. There are approximately one million skin cancer diagnoses in the US each year. Skin cancer is easily preventable; by limiting exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, a person can reduce their risk for certain types of skin cancers. There is no such thing as a healthy tan. Tanning is the skin's biological response to injury. Whether from the sun or an artificial source, long range effects on the skin are the same. Short, intense bursts of UVA rays, such as those found in tanning beds and blistering sunburns, increase the risk of skin cancer. A family history of skin cancer, having fair skin, and having more than one blistering sun burn before puberty are other factors that can increase a person's risk for skin cancer.
Artificial sources of UV radiation, such as tanning beds and tanning lamps, expose our bodies to UVA rays. The average 15-30 minute visit to a tanning salon is equal to an entire day at the beach. A 2003 National Cancer Institute study found that women who used a tanning bed more than once a month are 55% more likely to develop melanoma, which is the most dangerous type of skin cancer.
It may be possible to reduce the risk for skin cancer. The following suggestions can help lower a person's risk:
Video game and internet addiction is starting to become more prevalent among people of all ages in the United States. Experts think that playing video and computer games may increase dopamine levels in a similar way to gambling. There may also be an "escape" component to video game and internet addiction; people may use it to escape their life or to feel better about themselves. Spending too much time playing video games may affect aspects of a person's life. It could interfere with social aspects of life, and may make it difficult for people to meet others in the real world. It can also affect people's jobs, relationships, grades, and other parts of life.
Signs of video game and internet addiction include:
Treatment for video game and internet addiction is similar to that of other addictions, but with one important difference. Because computers are an aspect of everyday life, gaming addicts must learn to use computers responsibly, in a similar way that a food addict must learn to live with food. It is also necessary to teach gamers how to have real-life excitement as opposed to online excitement.
If you or a friend may have a video or computer game addiction, it is important to seek treatment. Prolonging treatment may make the addiction worse. If you are a UK student and you would like to speak with a professional, please call the Counseling Center at 859-257-8701 or UHS Behavioral Health 859-323-5511 to schedule an appointment.

"Today's GOP is a Political Terrorist Organization" BlueWaveNews~
Thursday, March 10, 2011
>snip< When Republicans had majorities in Congress during the Bush years, they flaunted their power by ramrodding through every policy they wanted, over Democratic objections. When the time came for them to be in the minority, they linked arms and fought to obstruct everything Democrats tried to pass. It didn't matter that many of these bills enjoyed popular support among Americans. The point was to prevent the country from making any progress or recovery under Democratic control. They succeeded well enough that, two years later, voters took out their frustrations with high unemployment and a still sluggish economy on Democrats. Republicans took over state legislatures, governorships, and the U. S. House. What the Republicans in Congress did was not governing. They ignored the duties of their offices and failed to do the jobs they were sent to Washington to do. They actually voted against pretty much every piece of legislation that was intended to create jobs or help the economy, but voters couldn't seem to get their heads around the fact that the lack of new jobs and economic growth was largely due to Republican opposition to legislation that would do that. By sticking to their plan and simply refusing to help govern, Republicans were able to convince voters that Democrats needed to be punished. And so, we had a GOP takeover throughout much of the country. But it didn't occur to me how closely the Republicans' behavior resembled terrorism until I saw this Christian Science Monitor blog today. Entitled "Republicans demand ransom from the White House," the author (Robert Reich), compares House Republicans to kidnappers. It's called ransom. That's what Republicans are demanding from the White House and congressional Democrats for not pulling the plug on the government. Problem is, when you pay ransom once, you're almost begging to pay it again. And that's exactly the pickle the Obama administration is finding itself in. >read more< http://www.bluewavenews.com/2011/03/toda...orist.html Why mince words? "Democracy Is Not A Spectator Sport.
