Cool, now if I could only afford the air fare
That made me want to go, but I won't be able to.
I want to go so badly! but, I can't afford the airfare either.
Cool Beans! Unfortunately I can neither afford the airfare nor the time off from work. It's nice to know though.
Alas, I will not be able to attend C4 either.
And frankly I think the chosen location for C4 is unfair to fans! It ought to have been held at a more central location, as the other Celebrations were... What with the cost of airfare, gas, hotels, etc. these days, it is extremely hard for many fans to attend period, let alone take a trip twice as long as before. In fact, I personally don't know of anyone who is going!
I'm just glad I was able to go to C3 when I had the chance!

Hart, Genevieve (International Association of School Librarianship, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: The paper comes out of a month-long case study of information literacy education in two public libraries in a small South African town in the rural province of Mpumalanga, undertaken in October 2004. The participant observation study is the second phase of a two-phase mixed methods study, which explores the capacity of public libraries in South Africa for information literacy education – in the context of the dire shortage of school libraries. The focus in the second phase is on the connections between public libraries and schools. However, the relations between the two libraries and their staff members are found to impact on these relations with the study finding that historical context and the conflicts arising from unequal positions of power impact significantly on information literacy education in the town. The paper concentrates, however, on just two threads of enquiry: the views of teachers and principals in the seven schools of the town on the educational role of libraries as revealed in interviews; and pupils' use of the two public libraries in seeking information for their school assignments. The study reveals a lack of cognizance of the high level demands of information-seeking in libraries among the teachers. They tend to see the library as a warehouse from which things are "fetched". The study finds a paradox – a gulf certainly exists between the public libraries and schools but the gulf comes from shared limited conceptions of the educational role of public libraries and of information literacy. The intense gaze of the participant observation contributes a nuanced understanding of the challenges for information literacy education in South Africa.

Hart, Genevieve (Walter de Gruyter, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This study examines if public libraries in a province in South Africa are ready to assume an enhanced responsibility for information literacy education, specifically that of students, and, if so, what inhibiting and facilitating factors might exist. The public libraries in the rural province of Mpumalanga provide the case site. "Readiness", at one level, refers to physical capacity and, on a second level, to more subjective attributes such as staff attitudes and beliefs. The paper reports on the first phase of the study – in which both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered by means of a questionnaire/interview survey of 57 public librarians in 46 sites. The study finds that Mpumalanga public libraries are indeed heavily engaged in serving school learners. Shortcomings in certain physical facilities, such as the lack of space and absence of retrieval tools, are inhibiting factors with the heritage of apartheid still impacting on the availability of and quality of service. The low level of professional education of public library staff is found to impede innovation in library programming. The prevailing information literacy education model largely comprises oneto- one support, although there is a fair amount of source-based group library orientation. Moving towards information literacy education will depend on a shift in conceptions of the educational role of public libraries. In the absence of recognition of their curricular role by public library authorities and educators, many public librarians are not sure that their services to school learners are legitimate. There is, however, dawning recognition that present approaches are not meeting the needs of school learners and that more effective communication with educators is required. This recognition comes from public librarians' frustrating encounters with learners rather than from insight into information literacy education theory and experience. The fundamental conclusion is that sustainable information literacy education in public libraries will depend on more dynamic leadership and on a vision of a new model of public library.

About Dora The Explorer
Dora the Explorer may be an American television show, but it has gone global and gotten kids' attention since its inception in 2000. The tiny Latina tot and her monkey friend, Boots, go on many adventures, learning Spanish words along the way and teaching them to young viewers. Dora's popularity has been used to license toys in many different categories, including books and movies. Some popular Dora the Explorer toys include stuffed plush dolls of Dora, Boots, Dora's Backpack, and Swiper, as well as Beanie Babies made in the characters' likenesses. Dora an be found in figurine form, on puzzles, colouring books, and bath toys, along with electronic education toys like computers geared for small users. Since most of Dora's demographic and fan base includes girls, there are female centreed toys like Dora hair styling sets, fancy dress up costumes, a Dora doll with fairy wings on, and a Mermaid Dora doll that girls can play with in the bathtub. Other popular Dora the Explorer gear includes talking Dora dolls that interact with kids, Dora backpacks for school and clothing, and Dora watches. Mega Bloks, a popular building brand for kids, has Dora block sets that come with miniature Dora figurines. Fun creative toys like market sets, stationery sets with crayons, and colouring sets are also popular for kids. Little ones can even crawl around in their own child sized Dora the Explorer tent. Dora toys can easily be found in many retailers as well as online websites, and now that Dora has segued into being a young teenager, her image has grown up with her fans, and there are even more toy options for her growing fan base.

The Official Website of Great White
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEGREAT WHITE MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE TO 40TH ANNIVERSARY KISS TRIBUTE ALBUM LARDIE'S 'BETH' NO. 1 DOWNLOAD IN JAPAN A World With Heroes- A 40th Anniversary Tribute Album to KISS, with profits going to cancer care is now available online. The album features 20 monster hits performed by rock's biggest names. GREAT WHITE's keyboardist, guitarist and co-producer, Michael Lardie sang and performed all the instruments on the moving ballad "Beth." Lardie's rendition of "Beth" is currently the No. 1 downloaded track off the entire album in Japan. "Alan Niven (GREAT WHITE former manager and A&R) and project mastermind Mitch Lafon reached out to me and asked me to contribute," Lardie said. "Mitch picked the song for me. Anything to do with cancer research is a cause I'm behind 100-percent. It's taken away too many of our loved ones." Lafon's successful PledgeMusic.com campaign raised just under $23,000 for the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Palliative Care Residence in Hudson, Quebec, resulted in worldwide sales on iTunes. The iTunes release includes re-imagined track listing and eleven bonus tracks. GREAT WHITE guitarist Mark Kendall and bassist Scott Synder contributed to the album's "Love Gun" track. Lead singer Terry Ilous sang "Forever." Visit GreatWhiteRocks.com for more information. -30- Statement Regarding Outcome of GW LawsuitSince we agreed to settle our differences with Jack Russell, we are hearing some confusion about what each band is doing. We are now posting here three documents that should help clear that up. The first document assigns Jack Russell's trademark rights in "Great White" to Mark Kendall, Michael Lardie and Audie Desbrow. The second is a license from the band back to Jack Russell so that he can use the name "Jack Russell's Great White." The third is an agreed-upon injunction against uses of "Great White" that aren't allowed in the settlement agreement (which we are not posting). These are the plain documents - no spin. Anyone interested can read them. We believe our arrangement lets both bands perform without confusing our fans, who spend their time and money coming to see Great White songs played live. Thanks for your continued support. We hope to see you all soon. Files: |
Mark Kendall to Guest DJ on 100.3 The SoundMark Kendall will guest DJ on KSWD 100.3 The Sound, a Classic Rock Station in Los Angeles today. The show will be taped for an upcoming Sunday show which airs at 6PM PST. We'll post the date as soon as we know. On this show, Mark will have some exciting new Great White news to share with everyone. Past guests on The Sound include Brian Wilson, Graham Nash, Smokey Robinson, Sheryl Crow, Adele, Chris Robinson, Gavin Rossdale, Jason Mraz, Foster the People, Coldplay, Robby Krieger, Joe Manganiello, Topher Grace, Linkin Park and Joe Walsh. Lorne Black, Rest In Peace Brother Lorne Black was a big part of Great White in our early years. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a true bass player to the core!! He was a fan of great bass players and acted as a student of bass playing, always paying close attention to the best in the business. He had a Paul McCartney sensibility and approach in that, instead of just following a guitar line, he played a song within the song. Listen to the bass in "Rock Me", that is a great example of Lorne's God given talent, and contribution to a song. He was always fun to be around and we are really going to miss him:-(. He had many fans around the world, that will also miss him!! Lorne is gone, but his memory will live on!! Rest In Peace Brother...Great White |

Bill O'Reilly says his recent weight loss is all down to the New York Times best-selling book, "Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health", by William Davis, M.D.
Speaking on his Fox show "The O'Reilly Factor" last week, the controversial right-wing anchor said, "A few weeks ago I told you I was cutting back big time on wheat.
"Look at the packaged food in your house — cereal, desserts, even soup —look at it all. You'll see wheat in the ingredients. That's because wheat is cheap and it fills you up."
He added, "I'm not a zealot. If I want a cookie, I eat it — but there are great gluten-free products out there. If you follow my advice you will feel better almost immediately.
"And perhaps live longer as well."
O'Reilly continued saying that he believes the United States obesity problems could be due to people eating too much wheat. He even suggested a PSA (public service announcement) on the subject.
He said, "If the government would tell people, you might not want to eat all of this wheat, because it is blowing you up."
Speaking to KSN, Kansas' local news, Dr. Justin Moore, Medical Director at Via Christi Weight Management said, "We spend somewhere in the ball park of $26 billion a year, subsidizing corn, wheat and soybeans as it is, so if we do that and then the government turns around and discourages people from eating those products, we end up with quite a surplus on our hands."
Scott Van Allen, a Kansas farmer, cultivates 2,400 acres of wheat. He said, "There would be a lot of farmers out of business, if that happened…This is my moneymaker."
He continued saying that O'Reilly's comments on wheat causing America's weight problem were incorrect. He said, "To blanketly say that wheat is the cause of obesity, is just preposterous."
Moore, a clinical dietitian, agreed. He said, "There is no scientific evidence to back up that gluten is toxic to anyone who does not have celiac disease, which only affects about 1 percent of the population…What Bill has done is just cut out a huge potential source of calories from his diet by restricting himself, he has managed to lose some weight."
Here's the KSN, Kansas' local news, report on the subject:
This is a trick I learnt in Montauk, Long Island, about twenty years ago. A Danish woman who practiced Chinese medicine came to visit her daughter. No matter what ailment was presented to her, she recommended giving up wheat. We were all considerably slimmer that summer. To this day, I don't eat pasta, breat, rice, etc and have never regained the weight.
More like a Celtic/northern European issue. Wheat used to be like long grass until the stock was shortened and thickened and the grain at the top was turned into a bowl like plant for shorter growing time and a more abundant harvest. We are the human testing guinea pigs and have been since the late 1960s. Try going off Of wheat for a month and see whlat happens...we need fibre but not GM wheat in our daily meals.
A friend who was diagnosed with celiac disease , was told by his Dr. "Oh you have the Irish disease." Seems the Irish and those that are Irish descent don't digest wheat to well. I remember Bill said once that he has a bad stomach just like his Father etc. then he said "It's an Irish thing" Well the Men in my family all had stomach problems. Who knew?
A person with an argument is at a loss to a person with an experience. I have lost more than 5lbs and 3 inches from my waist in less than 4 weeks by just eliminating genetically modified (almost all of it is and has been since the 1960s) wheat fro my menu. My joint pain has disappeared, my belly has reduced significantly and I have more energy...I am 56 years old and about 7/8s Irish ancestry. Get the facts like Bill did before judging....the author is an experienced cardiologist who knows he is going ...uh..against the grain...learn and benefit!
The same thing was said about corn a few years ago...
This puts me in the embarrassing position of agreeing with Bill O'Reilly. My wife and I have taken wheat out of our diet for the last two years and never felt better. Being on the paleo diet we've also cut back considerably on rice and potatoes.

here we go again...
There's only ONE reason Biscuit would alert me to radio.
I raced through the house. Do we even have a radio? I have no idea. Panicked, it finally occurred to me. My goddamn alarm clock. I don't know that I'd ever even turned the radio on, much less knew how to go about it. I must have missed 3 or 4 minutes just trying to get the damn thing to work.
Random song, static, news, static…familiar gravelly voice! Hazaa!
Apparently, the Mayor is bummed out. Something about voting or elections or politics.
Ugh, who cares! I'm getting sick of the whining. This is not how I want to start my Wednesday, listening to pretty boy having a tantrum.
Once he got over the constant complaining, things got interesting.
Apparently someone on the radio show was getting married and Gavin starts diving into his extra-terrestrial ex-wife, Kimberly Golddigger.
"Yes!" I screamed, and then rapidly shut myself up.
Apparently, the only thing they fought over during the divorce was who gets some (probably hideous) plates, which Golddigger doesn't want, requiring Gavin to pay for storage. It was also painful for Gavin to have to hear all about Golddigger marrying that poorly dressed gay man and popping out a kid 10 minutes later, although he claims they have a great relationship. Because they never talk.
Hell yeah, this is some good radio.
In my delight, I missed the segue into a discussion on Gavin's current ho, Jennifer Weirdo and subsequent review of her appalling website. Obviously, I had to explore its contents, particularly as Gavin described her as a "remarkable woman."
And now, a quote from her bio:
"As a person, my being so sensitive and emotionally expressive hasn't always worked to my advantage. As an actress, though, its been my greatest blessing… it has afforded me natural empathy, the ability to expose my vulnerabilities and truths unabashedly. It's nice feeling this alive. But, is it for everyone? Maybe not. But, hey, it works for me."
Remarkable, my ass.
Jesus Christ, where does he find these people?
Gavin's annoying me today anyway, so I hope they enjoy lots of really stupid conversations with each other sitting awkwardly on a couch re-watching her appearance as Extra #4 on Presidio Med.
I give it a week…

You are great. I could not agree with your perspective more. Keep up the great work. You continue to make my day.
- Spots said...
Thanks stranger! That's awesome...
- Ché said...
I wouldn't have been able to withstand the tantrum either...
by looking at those pictures on radioalice.com, Gavin not wearing a tie with the first couple of buttons undone somehow makes up for that. - 4:41 PM
I read her bio, too. Unbelievable! Most people who graduate with two degrees from Stanford take some high-paying, eighty-hour per week job just to pay off their school loans. She moves to L.A. to become an actress! Must be nice to have a trust fund that large. I read about her and Gavin on SFist. Apparently, she had a fling with George Clooney so she's probably not above dating someone just for the publicity. Now that she's with Gavin everyone will know who she is. Isn't it interesting that Gavin gets together with her right after he gets "busted" for dating a twenty-year old? He wins, too. He gets seen with woman of age and she gets her name in the press. - 4:53 PM
- Spots said...
Che, I thought the very same thing. Ding fucking dong.
And anonymous, don't you get it? When Gavin dates a woman with THAT bio, we ALL win. - 4:56 PM
I don't quite get what you mean by "THAT" bio and then we "ALL" win. That being said, honestly, what do you think of Gavin? I know it sounds corny, but do you think he is a decent guy of character who makes some dumb mistakes or a politician who does what he wants and covers his tracks when he needs to? By the way, did he and Jennifer meet at Tosca like the two of you? I agree with you that this relationship won't last long. - 5:10 PM
- Spots said...
Well, by THAT bio I meant the ridiculous ramblings of a crazy person and by us ALL winning, I mean that we ALL get to read the ridiculous ramblings of a crazy person who is dating out mayor.
Ugh, it's too fabulous.
All I know about Gavin is that he's charming and gorgeous. That's all I need, babe. Actually, I need a lot less than that, so he's pretty much perfect. Anyone that marries the gays is tops in my book.
I don't know where he met this nutjob, but I'm willing to guess it was at some place really loud where he couldn't hear her when she rambled on and on about her emotions and shit.
He's a pretty boy mayor who dates ridiculous women. That's worth a blog or 12, in my eyes. But that's about it. Unless, you know, he wants to hook up or something, in which case, I'll be far less blasse about my actual feelings... - 6:05 PM
I feel like maybe I should jump in here, although maybe I'm stating the obvious. Spots is having a little fun, folks. She's a real person with a real life and real friends and while a big Newsom fan, doesn't actually plan on having his babies.
She's no expert. She doesn't want to be. She'd rather observe and comment BRILLIANTLY. And that is why I love her.
That, and for her China trip in August of 2004. Check those archives. They're genius. - 6:12 PM
Spots doesn't actually plan on having Gavin's babies? Shocking!! By the way Spots, did you notice that, based on what you quoted from her ridiculous website, this Jennifer woman is basically Sophia Milos with blond hair? Thanks for the laughs and have a great evening!!
- Towski said...
Don't forget, kids, it's almost Christmas time. I'm thinking a photoshopped picture of Gavin in a fireman uniform...
- Sasha said...
Siebel is probably a Kabbalist.
Or a Scientologist.
Or something equally unnecessary and irrelevant to life.
And Gavin will say, "I couldn't tell you two things about it!" - 12:43 PM
- Spots said...
That quote is pure heaven. Every once in awhile, he busts out with some old man phrase that makes my day...

I drop the dinghy's anchor below the red-streaked cliffs of Maug. The uninhabited island group is among the most remote of the Mariana Islands, which are territories of the United States in the Western Pacific. Maug's three steep, parentheses-shaped islands are the top of an underwater volcano.
Maug, part of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument, is one of a string of underwater volcanoes—some active and spewing mud, sulfur and carbon dioxide—that boasts some of the world's most spectacular geology. A nearby seamount hosts the only known sulfur lake this side of Jupiter. And Maug is the only place in the world where underwater volcanic vents emit carbon dioxide in a tropical, shallow-water environment.
Wearing a mask and fins, I slide into the water and swim north for a short trip into the future of our oceans.
As I start paddling against the current along the inner shore of the eastern island, I see abundant small fishes and plenty of coral heads washed in pastel blue, pink and white. Then the water gets warmer and murkier and there is less and less coral. Another 100 feet and I start seeing little bubbles rising in bursts from among the small rocks on the bottom, which are covered in brown slime called cyanobacteria. The small fishes disappear, a sign the water quality is changing.
Where the bubbles come out, the pH of the water is 6.07, a level of acidity that would kill all life in the oceans. A few feet away, where I swim, the acidic emissions have been diluted to a pH of 7.8, which is what scientists predict surface ocean water will average in half a century.
This is the death zone—dark and foreboding, and not a pretty sight. But it's utterly fascinating to Rusty Brainard, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Ecosystems Division, who was among the first to swim through it in 2003. That's because, he says, it may help us understand how reefs around the world will react to an acidifying ocean.
Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have emitted a mind-boggling 500 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This heat-trapping gas caused the planet—which was poised for 100,000 years of cooling driven by variations in the Earth's orbit—to get warmer instead.
Ken Caldeira, a climate change scientist at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, says we're spewing out 30 billion tons of CO2 a year from burning coal and oil, plus another 7 billion tons from the indirect effects of deforestation and making cement. In comparison, he says, the natural CO2 production from volcanic vents, in the air and in the water, is about half a billion tons a year.
About a third of the CO2 that has been emitted since the year 1800 has been absorbed by the oceans, which means our climate isn't as hot as it would be otherwise. But what's good for polar bears is not good for corals: CO2 in the water turns into carbonic acid, which has increased the acidity in the top 300-foot layer of the ocean by 30 percent.
As ocean water becomes more acidic, corals and shellfish must spend more energy to make their calcium carbonate shells, a process known as calcification.

I'm sure the Coral will still be there in 50 years and we won't have flying cars
Posted by v.mazeaud on April 2,2010 | 11:25 AM
It kind of sucks about the coral reefs, not because they're really pretty snorkeling sites (which they are) but they're also important factors in the environment. I kind of think this article is a little dark, it offers no motivation to help, just kind of "eh, it's going to happen, and it's starting here."
Posted by Ellen W. on November 28,2009 | 09:34 AM
I think reef loss and the consequent loss of marine biodiversity with it is a result of CO2 emissions that is poorly understood and little-appreciated by the general public.
On another note, and perhaps I am being hyper-picky, the subtitle referring to the Marianas as being in the "South Pacific" is incorrect. They lie north of the Equator.

This is so kewl. Here's why: For those who forgot or don't know what quantum entanglement is: But ... But not this time. They managed to achieve this in macroscopic objects at room temperature! They used two squares of synthetically produced diamond, each 3mm across and a laser pulse, bisected by a beam splitter, passing through the diamonds and a photon detector. A phonon which was generated in the process helped them to realize that entanglement did actually happen. Even though the process didn't last long (only few picoseconds) they ran experiment over and over again to gather statistically significant results which made them conclude with confidence that entanglement had indeed been achieved. So here's what they did: To verify the process they did this: Oxford and NUS physicist Vlatko Vedral, who was not involved in the new research, says: So here we have it, quantum laws in everyday life. I found this article @ Scientific American http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=room-temperature-entanglement Other interesting articles from SA: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=high-noon-entanglement http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=living-in-a-quantum-world
^ So what? Anywho .. Now entanglement can be generated, manipulated and measured. This time it's not diamonds, it's a chip. So programmable quantum processors will be real someday. The pic above: Nice news. They've been working on this for the past six years. Developing quantum photonic chips ain't an easy task I suppose. Yay! http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-12-multi-purpose-photonic-chip-paves-programmable.html
an easier explanation in (my opinion) is: - you have two magic boxes, each with a black or white ball inside. - the magic boxes are linked. - when you open one and get a black ball, the other is guaranteed to have a white ball. and vice versa either way. it can't be used for ftl information transfer
Yup that too. So quantum computers can have logical NOT operator (negation) "for free" without spending a single cycle on it which is awesome. Because of this the orthogonalization / normalization of matrices and any other calculations can be performed much faster. I bet with quantum computers programmers would need totally different kind of logic because this kind of computing would require a different approach
More news about entangled diamonds: Diamonds are entangled with one vibration shared between them! This vibration in diamond can be detected using a laser. Researchers sent bursts of laser through both diamonds: 'In fact, the universe doesn't know which diamond is vibrating!' one of the researchers explains. They think about practical application for this work in the future such as encryption: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-12-vibration-entangled-diamonds.html
You might want to read this together with the news article that I posted a couple of weeks ago. Drone, you've obviously put a lot of effort into your posts here to give us something of quality to read and I think that's really cool. Power to the qubit! Mods, I request that you do not close or merge this thread, as I think the two complement each other.
Yes I don't want to get this topic put in news because all the threads in the News forums will get buried pretty soon. While in Science & Technology it's easiser to navigate and "pile up" all interesting ideas and findings.
Totally unrelated but I want to post this amazing video made by JAPAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY here because it's awesome It's called Quantum levitation. It's awesome what magnetic field, electric current and Lorentz force can do! They use liquid nitrogen for cooling. If only superconductivity wouldn't need that brutal cooling this technology could be used for real transportation! Maybe somewhen somewhere ...
Wow, that really was awesome. You could see the precise control they had over the cars too, round every bend and hump.
Seeing quantum mechanics with the naked eye Can anyone rename my thread to Quantum Mechanics & Co. ? Because I want to post other news here without creating a new thread. Thanks. Ok. By the grace of God Almighty and the pressures of the marketplace ... nevermind. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-quantum-mechanics-naked-eye.html They used some tricks: Polaritons are awesome because they entangle themselves quantum mechanically. Yes as always laser was involved Mind blowing. Why did they do this? Because this is important for science and technology.
Another interesting article which tells how physicists cool semiconductor by laser Very interesting because cooling was achieved by warming LOL! As always researchers combined two worlds – quantum physics and nano physics. Lasers, entanglement, electrons, near zero temperatures ... you'll find it all there. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-physicists-cool-semiconductor-laser.html They managed to produce a nanomembrane that is only 160 nm thick and with an area of more than 1 mm2! You ask why this is so cool? Because this discovery reconciles quantum mechanics with macroscopic materials to explore the Optomechanics (the interaction between light and a mechanical motion). The potential of optomechanics could pave the way for cooling components in quantum computers. So you no longer would need liquid helium, just lasers Laser cooling FTW! And now pics: Vacuum chamber Koji Usami shows nanomembrane. Laser controlled with a forest of mirrors hits the nanomembrane.
Now scientists want to observe 'Quantum Criticality' but they didn't get ultracold temperatures yet: Lasers and vacuum chamber is the best cooling system. That's interesting and cool Not cold enough tho I wish them luck. Because this is one of the most important things. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-03-quantum-criticality-ultracold.html
solid-state quantum computer inside a diamond Yeah decoherence is really annoying. But the good news is the quantum computing becomes more stable and reliable. They added some impurities to that diamond: As always we have a dilemma. Faster = less reliable, slower = more stable. They needed to babysit this process to protect it from nasty decoherence. They tested this on Grover's algorithm (a problem when you need to search for a name in a phone book when you've only been given the phone number) and it kinda worked. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-04-quantum-built-diamond.html other info: http://phys.org/news/2012-04-entanglement-quantum-bits-semiconductor.html http://phys.org/news/2011-05-genuine-multiparticle-entanglement.html more: http://phys.org/news/2012-04-evidence-majorana-fermions.html http://phys.org/news/2011-10-exotic-quantum-states-approach.html http://phys.org/news/2011-04-quantum-bits-physicists-limits.html
Teh qwantum interwebz is one step closer, weeeeee! That's cool. Scientists have successfully transmitted quantum states between the two Canary Islands. It's a new kind of protocol for the transmission of information between quantum computers. Conventional data is sent alongside the quantum information, enabling the recipient to decipher the transferred signal with a higher efficiency. Their next goal is satellite-based quantum teleportation, which should enable quantum communication on a global scale. Well done, thumbs up! http://phys.org/news/2012-09-km-physicists-quantum-teleportation-distance.html
all of that happening within not even a year... i guess there is something big coming in the next 10 years
That's great. It means that technology can be built on silicon chips based on single atoms. They knew how to read the state of an electron's spin and now they can write the spin state. Good news indeed. The team's next goal is to combine pairs of quantum bits to create a two-qubit logic gate – the basic processing unit of a quantum computer. http://phys.org/news/2012-09-single-atom-writer-landmark-quantum.html

Pediatricians get it -- they put CHILDREN first; unlike the NRA, which puts GUNS first, and people last.
"The absence of guns from children's homes and communities is the most reliable and effective measure to prevent firearm-related injuries in children and adolescents. Adolescent suicide risk is strongly associated with firearm availability. Safe gun storage (guns unloaded and locked, ammunition locked separately) reduces children's risk of injury. Physician counseling of parents about firearm safety appears to be effective, but firearm safety education programs directed at children are ineffective. The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to support a number of specific measures to reduce the destructive effects of guns in the lives of children and adolescents, including the regulation of the manufacture, sale, purchase, ownership, and use of firearms; a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons; and the strongest possible regulations of handguns for civilian use."

Repairs are ongoing today to the pole line on Ruby Line that had been knocked over by winds from tropical storm Leslie. — Photo by Gary Hebbard/The Telegram
There are now 5,500 Newfoundland Power customers waiting for power to return, according to the latest update from the electric utility company.
As of 5 p.m. today, spokeswoman Michele Coughlan said 1,000 of those affected customers are in the St. John's area, with a further 2,500 spread throughout the rest of the Avalon Peninsula. Newfoundland Power expects to take care of those cases before the end of today.
As for the remaining 2,000 customers that the company is calling "isolated trouble calls," Coughlan said their situations are still being assessed, with work to restore power in those cases expected to continue until at least Thursday.
Six poles down in the Deer Park cabin area on the Salmonier Line are creating additional trouble for Newfoundland Power. Coughlan said those customers will not likely have power return until Friday.
Earlier story
Approximately 9,000 Newfoundland Power customers on the Avalon Peninsula are still without power as of midday Wednesday, one day after tropical storm Leslie hit the island.
According to Newfoundland Power spokeswoman Michele Coughlan, 6,000 of those customers are in the St. John's area, with five main feeders in need of repairs. The remaining 3,000 customers are spread throughout the Avalon Peninsula.
Over 60 poles needed replacing as of this morning, according to Coughlan. Trees tangled with power lines and lines downed by fallen trees were continuing to pose problems for the electric utility, she said. Siding detached from various buildings had also caused problems for power lines.
Coughlan said the company intends to have all main feeders repaired by Wednesday's supper hour, adding that isolated outages for some customers may run into Thursday.
She continued to advise those who encounter downed power lines to avoid them and contact Newfoundland Power at 1-800-474-5711.

As negotiations for the farm bill continue, National Wildlife Federation is working to ensure Congress knows that Americans want agricultural policies that promote wildlife abundance and diversity - not policies that degrade habitat or undermine past progress made through conservation efforts.
NWF's top priorities for the Farm Bill are:
Sodaver is a provision that, if added to the next farm bill, could help protect America's prairies and forests from being converted into cropland. A Sodsaver provision would make lands that haven't been previously used to grow crops ineligible for crop insurance or other federal benefits.
High crop prices and federally-subsidized crop insurance encourage plowing native grassland and forestlands that have previously never been plowed. Many birds, such as the bobolink, depend on native grasslands for nesting or food. Bringing this often-marginally productive land into production provides little benefit to tax payers, increases long-term costs due to erosion and nutrient loss, and ultimately leads to lower water quality, less capacity to reduce flooding, and the loss of valuable wildlife habitat.
Sodsaver does not prohibit farmers from breaking out new land; it ensures that they do so at their own risk, and not at the expense of taxpayers. Most of the land that is being converted from native ecosystems to cropland is marginal, highly erodible, and prone to flooding. If the risk of growing crops on this land was not underwritten by taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance and disaster assistance programs, these sensitive lands probably would not be farmed.
To learn more about Sodsaver, read our Sodsaver Factsheet.
Conservation compliance includes two common-sense eligibility requirements to receive taxpayer-funded farm bill support - Swampbuster and Sodbuster. Swampbuster prevents farmers who drain wetlands, and Sodbuster, those who farm highly erodible lands without a conservation plan, from qualifying for farm bill programs. These provisions are designed to protect us from greater wetland loss and degraded soil and water quality.
Conservation compliance does not take away anyone's freedom to farm on their own land; farmers are free to choose to drain wetlands or farm highly erodible land with no soil conservation measures. However, by doing so they forfeit eligibility for federal benefits, since these activities harm the public good.
Compliance is not a hardship for farmers because it is easy to implement conservation plans and beneficial for the land and the farmer in the long run. For highly erodible land, there are a number of simple practices that meet conservation compliance:
These practices provide economic returns to farmers by making the land more productive. Most farmers are used to abiding by these conditions as they have been in place since 1985. It is only because the agricultural support system is shifting, from direct payments to greater subsidies for crop insurance, that action is needed to ensure these eligibility requirements continue to apply.
Over the last 15 years, Congress has increased the subsidy amounts on crop insurance, making it the largest subsidy to farmers. Crop insurance subsidies are estimated to cost taxpayers $90 billion over the next 10 years. Currently the federal government pays for 60 percent of the cost of crop insurance premiums (farmers pay the remaining percentage). It is only fair for landowners to protect the public from soil loss, nutrient pollution, and wetland loss in return for taxpayer support. Without conservation compliance, millions of acres of highly erodible land and wetlands that are not currently farmed could be placed into production with serious consequences on the public.
To learn more about conservation compliance, read our Conservation Compliance Factsheet.
The 2012 Farm Bill is being written in a tough budget climate. Unfortunately, farm bill conservation programs are increasingly seen as a target for budget cuts. Programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetland Reserve Program and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program provide taxpayer benefits by improving soil, water and wildlife habitat, and are also popular with farmers.
Yet, conservation funding has declined in recent years, and the next Farm Bill could see even more drastic cuts. In the 2008 Farm Bill the CRP took a cut of 7 million acres, which is having serious negative repercussions for wildlife on agricultural land that depend on the land for nesting habitat, such as the Eastern meadowlark. Another 7 million acre cut is being proposed for the CRP in this Farm Bill. The USDA estimates that 75% of threatened and endangered species live on private land. Further cuts could lead to the listing of several species of wildlife under the Endangered Species Act and the decline of many wildlife species. It is critical to wildlife that the next farm bill does not take disproportionate cuts to conservation funding.
To learn more about the value of conservation, read our Economics of Conservation Factsheet.
