Antonio from Venafrum (Οὐέναφρον) chances upon a friend in a Roman alley.
"Hi, how's is it going?"
"We're all fine, thank you. How about you? Already moved to your new job's office?"
"I've only got the first meeting in half an hour so I'll run away. I've been thinking, why don't you try one of those luscious video-games about Rome?"
"I mean … Hey, listen to me – his voice now firm though gentle – you're a Rome fiend, there's a whole variety out there … let me see (*reading quickly from his smartphone*)."
"Here we are. Rome Total War; Glory of the Roman Empire; Caesar; Europa Universalis etc. You search high and low and you'll surely find what better suits you, ok? I'll rush now, bye!"
A tough and swift young man, no doubt.
Minutes later the old man, tired and perplexed, is sitting at an outdoors cafe in Piazza Navona. Clouds are all over the sky, a strange light looming over the 'Caffè Dolce Vita', heavily crowded.
Then, in a flash, the sun floods everywhere by piercing through the clouds. Everybody lights up, Romans and tourists now chatting happily or, in the piazza in front, strolling by cheerfully in the piazza once the Stadium of Domitian.
"The sun (and the young) are always a great resource …"
.. he muses, sipping calmly, in satisfaction, his classic cappuccino.

Let us count the ways in which China has ruined the renewable energy industry in the USA:
1] China has cornered the world market in rare earth elements, some of which (like neodymium) are needed to make the super magnets used in wind turbines;
2] China has swamped the world with cheap photovoltaic cells and destroyed or damaged local production in the USA and elsewhere;
3] China is well on its way to dominating lithium ion battery manufacturing, as this article indicates.
China's advantage is that it has no environmental or workplace health and safety regulations, no real labor unions, and no democratic institutions.
These all cost free world manufacturers lots of money and leaves them unable to compete.
The only solution I see is requiring that all goods imported into the USA be made under the same regulations (in whatever country they come from) that would apply to these items if they were made here.
Goods that do not meet these regulations would be taxed, a tariff, that would eliminate any trade surplus that otherwise would accrue to the countries manufacturing these sub-standard items.
Won't ever happen, but it's the only way out as I see it.

Women's Volleyball Preview
- Release Date:
- September 6, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The 2011 Hilbert College women's volleyball team starts another year under head coach Amanda Logue's direction with a more experienced and talented line-up than in previous years. The team's philosophy is discipline, loyalty, and attitude. 'The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender'- can be found on the back of their team t-shirts and with an expectation of hard work, good things will come.
The Hawks will be led by four returning upperclassmen and will receive support from six freshmen. Sophomore Shannon Memminger and junior Rachel Kwiatkowski, as team captains, will take the leadership role on the squad.
Memminger is no stranger to leading, as this will be her second season running the team's offense so fearlessly. "Shannon is the type of volleyball player that any coach would want ten of, she loves the game, she sacrifices for her team, and never quits. Not only was she a coach's pick for captain, she was the team's unanimous pick as well" says Logue.
Rachel returns to campus this fall a more confident leader, one ready for the team responsibilities. "Rachel is a go-to player; she makes few errors, and never shows negativity towards her teammates or during play," said Logue. "She is consistent in her offensive play and the team will be looking for her to step in as a defensive player this fall."
Other returning players, sophomore Chelsea Reischuck and junior Devan Jonathon will also have a leadership role on the team. During the 2010 season, Reischuck lead the team in kills and digs, and her goal is to repeat this season. Jonathon will continue playing the right side hitter position since she worked hard on adjusting to that area of the court last season. She has shown that her defense, her setting, her hitting, and blocking is an unconditional reliable source for this team.
The Hawks are excited about freshman duo Jordan Botsford and Kayla Lewis. Botsford and Lewis played club volleyball together through the years in the Rochester, NY area. Botsford is an all-around strong player, and coach Logue expects that her offense and defense will be heavily relied upon this season. "Jordan's enthusiasm and confidence will be just the addition the women's volleyball team needs this season", shared Logue. Lewis is a player who wears many hats, and is the type of player who can fill the team's needs. "With experience setting, and hitting, Kayla will be looked to as a middle hitter as well as an outside hitter with defensive responsibilities," commented coach Logue. Lewis has natural leadership qualities and can be another voice of encouragement and enthusiasm.
The Hawks also welcome freshmen Tiara Thomas, Elissa Hall, Lea Church, and Samantha Robinson to the team. All four of these freshmen add personality, support, and friendship.
The Hawks open their season in the AMCC vs. NEAC Challenge hosted by D'Youville College when they square off against Keuka College and Morrisville State. During the season they play road non-conference games against Keuka, Buffalo State, Alfred, Washington and Jefferson, Scranton, Wilkes University, Thomas More University and Grove City College. (Some of these matches are a part of tri-matches hosted by one institution where all teams pick-up two games in one day.) Their home non-conference games are against Elmira's JV (9/21), Keuka (9/26), Alfred (10/1) and Oswego State (10/12). The home AMCC contests are against La Roche (10/1), Bradford (10/18) and D'Youville (10/26). On September 24, the Hawks will face-off against Greensburg and Franciscan at Medaille College. The remaining AMCC games (Medaille on 9/28, Behrend on 10/4, Mount Aloysius on 10/22 and Altoona on 10/29) will be road games prior to the start of the AMCC championship play-offs that begin November 1.

The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Open the door to MobileR Mobile Device Repairs in Mount Pleasant and you'll see a wall lined with dozens of shattered screens and cracked cases. Each and every one an all-too-common crisis for customers who thought they'd be stuck with a battered iPhone or Android until they sought out the services of Michael McGee.
Setting up shop in Mount Pleasant just one year ago, McGee has established his one-man operation as the saving grace for those smart phone users prone to mishaps. Starting fresh out of high school, McGee spent six years with AT&T before moving on to work with SmartPhone Medic in Columbia, South Carolina, McGee's hometown. As that operation started to expand, McGee decided it was time to break out on his own, and Mount pleasant seemed like the perfect place.
"I used to actually come down here with my family for summer vacation ... I always liked the Charleston area, so I decided to check out Mount Pleasant," McGee said. "I saw how much growth was going on down here in the last two years, and I thought this was an awesome opportunity. I knew that there were some other repair shops, but I felt like I was able to contribute a little more to it."
Now, MobileR sits nestled among the other local businesses on South Shelmore Boulevard. Enter McGee's shop and you're sure to see him crouched over his workbench, old-school craftsmanship, new-world technology, and it all started when he was a kid.
"I kind of grew up building computers just for video games and stuff and that got me into tinkering with electronics," said McGee. "Over time, even in high school, I started taking apart little flip phones."
McGee credits his mother and father with helping develop his interest in electronics into a full-fledged business.
"My parents wouldn't go out and buy a new computer every time I wanted to play the latest game, so they would help me out with getting a new graphics card or more memory," McGee said. "That helped out and taught me how to build a computer and that way I worked for it."
Now, what began as simply learning to replace the graphics card on his PC or putting a transparent case on an old Nokia, has grown into an actual business for McGee and added to the rich, entrepreneurial landscape of the area.
MobileR is located at 716 S. Shelmore Blvd., Suite 103 in Mount Pleasant. The shop repairs all varieties of phones and tablets. Rates vary depending on the type and model of the phone or tablet and the extent of the damage. McGee specializes mainly in repairing hardware damage but is able to correct software issues in some cases. Visit www.themobilerepair.com for more information and rates. McGee can be reached at 843-388-3897.

Scenario 1:
A category 5 hurricane slams through Williamsburg County, leaving behind hundreds of destroyed homes, flooding, roads cut off by debris, and power outages. Before the massive storm hit, nearly all its citizens were evacuated. Once it is deemed safe to return home, they display a 4x5 Zone Dash Pass with their zone printed on it to law enforcement personnel and theyre sent on their way.
Scenario 2:
A category 5 hurricane slams through Williamsburg County, leaving behind hundreds of destroyed homes, flooding, roads cut off by debris, and power outages. Before the massive storm hit, nearly all its citizens were evacuated. Upon your return you find a nightmare but its not physical damaged to your home. With no means for law enforcement to check the legitimacy of those coming and going, looters have had a field day in your community and one of the homes they targeted was yours. They ransacked your home and stole your valuables. The homeowners next door will arrive to squatters who have taken up residence in their house.
If given the choice, scenario #1 would make sense Unlike a drivers license that can have outdated information, the dash pass shows the zone you live in and is easily readable by law enforcement and emergency responders.
Jacksonville, Florida, North Topsail Beach, North Carolina, and Jefferson Parrish, Louisiana to name a few partake similar programs.
And it makes sense why these measures have been adopted given the crime wave following a hurricane. Countless news reports have documented squatters crashing empty homes, looting and other crimes after hurricanes Katrina, Irene, and Sandy.
Emergency Management Division personnel are currently on a campaign to make certain citizens have the proper identification in the event of a disaster or evacuation. The passes will provide you with the authorization to re-enter your area if you have been evacuated due to an emergency event. On Wednesday, August 13, the agency held a signup at the Alex Chatman Complex. Lula Mack was one of many who signed up. Were living in the 21st Century and a lot of things are happening now that didnt happen when we were real young, said the Greeleyville resident. When someone like this agency is trying to help you thats a good idea.
The entire process takes about five minutes and citizens receive an information package with an explanation, contact information as well as information regarding 911 Compliance. College student DAsia Green picked up her pass before heading off to school. I just had to sign in and give them my name and address, said the summer intern to Williamsburg County Supervisor Stanley Pasley. Some citizens consider the measure a government overreach.
Green sees the initiative as a goal to eliminate the problems associated with reentry after an emergency event. I trust them because the people that we have in charge do a really good job and theyre very educated about what this is and theyre really good about educating us with the things that we need to know.
Two passes are issued per household. The passes are good for four years. If you move you will have to turn in your pass and be re-issued a new one.
Out-of-state property owners can call the Emergency Management Division for details on how to get the pass at (843) 354-9330. The agency is implementing the Code Red telephone notification system and newspapers to advise the citizenry of Dash Pass issuing locations. Citizens can also stay in touch and receive up-to-date information through social media at any of the following:

Do you renew his contract?
Do you renew his contract?
Go Reds!
Baseball Bliss
Im a normal guy blessed with the ability to hit a baseball. - Sean Casey
They'd have to renew him. Won't happen though. If for no other reason then there's no reason to believe that this bullpen will improve that drastically. Late-inning melt downs have been the most consistent facet of this team.
I think you're just as apt to see a downturn by Weathers as any significant upswing by the rest.
the problem is that winning should not be Pete's main objective(although it is). His goal should be to try and evaluate bullpen personnel. So what if the Reds win a few more games than expected. The pen is a disaster and the Reds need to figure out what they have(or don't have)
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
When I heard Pete talk at his press conference, I realized he was management material. Double yikes. Just like Miley and Narron before him, all he has to do is go .500 or so to tempt our clueless FO that he should be the man. I still predict he might do that. I can see Krivsky trading to make this team better rather than blowing it up for the future. That along with Mackannon will assure another 10-12 years of futility. The Reds need to cut their losses and change everything. They won't.
Are you going to renew him as interim manager? Because that's what he currently is.
Mackanin was hired to be the manager for the rest of the year. That's a time period that, once it's past, can't be renewed. Beyond that fact, I'd like to see the Reds stick to a plan for once. For instance, 'the plan' was to leave Homer at AAA this year and bring him up to the Bigs in the spring. But the Reds caved into the pressure.
In the case of Mackanin, 'the plan' was for him to manage the team for the rest of the year and then step aside while a search for a long-term manager is conducted. The guy has a total six games under his belt with the Reds and there are already people that have decided that he can walk on water! These are likely the same people that, if MacKanin is named permanent manager, a la Jerry Narron, and the Reds get off to a poor start next year, will be calling for his head and taking management to task for bringing him back.
Winning when the season is shot and there is no pressure to win says nothing about your quality as a big league manager to me.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
No, let him get an interview but definitely interview a bunch of people, don't blow this.
Go Gators!
No way but unfortunately if the Reds play even .500 ball the rest of the way Pete (M.) will be back.
Follow the process. No shortcuts - but make Pete part of the process.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
There's nothing easy about playing or managing in the bigs.
Your job is always on the line, with a hoard of qualified replacements waiting in the wings for their once in a lifetime shot.
Narron may well never get another chance to manage. Pete knows all too well that this could be his only shot as well.
There's nothing easy about it in any way.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
If it's the latter, then he has no chance of being considered for extension.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Unless they win while he is doing the latter...
No way. Cast got burnt when he extended Narron early. He is not going to make another snap decision especially after the reds fans have seen Miley and Narron get the job after decent finishes to the season.
I dont think the front office can sell another interm manager getting the full time job.

I had about a half hour this evening to mess with it.
I basically had it set like yours but the Step & Dir Pulse on mine were at 0, I put them both to 5 and the motors seem a lot smoother. I'll have to mess with the Motor Movement Profiles (those blue pyramid lines) a little to see what that does, all three of mine are in the upper 30's for the velocity and I don't remember where the "Time" is set at.
Thanks again, and I'll post more when I get time to mess with it again.

Ninety-one-year-old Claymon Grimes stands in the pouring rain Wednesday, outside the Saint Frances Animal Center on Ridge Street. This is the 14th day in a row he has stood here.
Nuis, come on Nuis, here Nuis
Although cats rub against his legs and twine between them, a big orange long-haired tabby is nowhere to be seen.
Grimes sighs.
Men dont usually get attached to cats but Im attached.
With the aid of a cane, Grimes walks inside the shelter and settles on a small couch. His story is simple, yet heartbreaking.
Nuisance is a large, neutered male cat with a big fluffy tail and a blind right eye. Nuisance and Grimes have been together for 15 years.
When I got him his eyes werent open he was that little. I put him on my lap and we bonded. He grew up in my lap I was his Daddy as far as he was concerned.
Nuisance earned his name by biting peoples heels, Grimes said. But he never bit me.
Grimes and his wife Harriet, 87, live on Prince Street in a house built by Harriets ancestors in 1790. Harriets family owned the land since 1775, a year before the Declaration of Independence was signed.
There they raised their family of three children Happy Grimes Wilcox, Bubba Grimes and Jack Grimes.
And thats where Nuisance and his best friend Delta an 11-year-old female black lab live and play.
They are good friends, says Grimes. Nuisance would pick on Delta and Delta pick on Nuisance and they would jump around and play with each other. We all go for walks around the block a little parade me, Delta and Nuisance.
Nuisance likes Delta but has no use for other cats, which makes what happened predictable.
On April 15, Nuisance went missing. An indoor/outdoor cat, Nuisance would spend his days in and out of the house but always came in at night. Not April 15.
On April 16, Grimes daughter happy called Saint Frances and was told that no cats had been turned in, in more than a week.
On April 17, Wilcox calls her friend Paige Sawyer and asks him to email all the city residents he knows asking if they have seen the cat.
Within an hour, Sawyer gets a call from Chris Moore who tells him the city animal control officer had been trapping cats two doors down from the Grimes home at Winyah Indigo Hall because cats had been getting into the basement.
Moore called animal control Shelley Brantley who confirmed he had trapped a large orange tabby who was very friendly.
Wilcox calls Saint Frances back and is told that an orange tabby had been brought in but because they could not find a microchip, they had vaccinated and chipped the cat. (Nuisance was microchipped.)
But, they tell Wilcox, the cat didnt like being inside with other cats so they put him outside in the cat sanctuary where there are 75 to 100 other cats.
The cat sanctuary is the yard and woods next to the shelter. It is not enclosed. The cats run around loose and are fed by the shelter and once a year, vaccinated.
Wilcox and Grimes rushed off to the shelter and spent two hours calling for Nuisance. He didnt come.
Nuisance always comes when I call. He hears the car and comes running, said Grimes. Nuisance loves the car, he explains, because Grimes frequently takes him to their beach house in DeBordieu.
The shelter told Wilcox they had not sighted Nuisance since April 21. This has not stopped Grimes or his family. Granddaughters, grandsons, sons and daughters have all been to the shelter looking for Nuisance.
Grimes said the first day he and his daughter drove very slowly home stopping and calling along the way to no avail.
Nuisance, they said, is a fierce hunter. In fact two days before he disappeared, he caught a squirrel that he proudly brought home to his family.
But, says Grimes, its six miles between there and home.
Wilcox said Nuisance is very street savvy. Their only concern is Fraser Street.
Grimes just wants Nuisance safely home.
Delta misses Nuisance, says Grimes.
So does Grimes.

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
I am not currently in Waitsfield. Therefore, I cannot attend the public meeting regarding the town office to make my pitch in person. However, I have been following the discussions closely.
I wholeheartedly agree with the authors of the letters in last week's Valley Reporter advocating the use of the Methodist Church building for the new town office. Cost is certainly important, as is the loss of the apartments. On the other hand, the unique historical and environmental beauty of our town, which not only makes it special for us but also is a big part of what makes it a tourist destination from which we all benefit, is our responsibility to protect. A new building will be functional, but it will not have the character and soul that a renovated historic one, particularly one as beautiful as the church building, has.
We are making a decision for decades to come and the cost differential per household seems small enough to be worth preserving our heritage. Furthermore, that cost differential might be significantly reduced via means such as those suggested in the previous letters (e.g., fundraisers, grants, etc.). I hope others will agree with me.

|Cal State Dominguez Hills, 2010
|Assistant Coach
|3rd Season
Jay Morris, who served two seasons (2008-09, 2009-10) as Director of Basketball Operations at Long Beach State, was named an assistant coach at Cal State Northridge on June 22, 2010.
While at Long Beach State, Morris' responsibilities included all day-to-day operations of the program, including team travel, film exchange and directing all basketball camps and clinics. Morris also served as the strength and conditioning coach for the men's basketball program. In 2008, the team lost in the semi finals of the Big West Tournament to University of Pacific. In 2009 Jay was a part of a staff at Long Beach State that put together the 10th ranked mid-major recruiting class rated by ESPN.com. In that year they made it to the Big West Conference Championship but came up a little short by a score of 69-64 to eventual NCAA Tournament team, UC Santa Barbara. During his time at Long Beach State he worked with back-to-back Big West Player of the Year and current NBA star Casper Ware.
Before being hired at Long Beach State, Morris served as an assistant coach and strength coach at Westchester High School in 2007-08. That year the Comets advanced to the semifinals of the Los Angeles City Championships and went to the second round of the state tournament.
Prior to coaching, Morris was a personal trainer and founder of DREAM, where he focused on training high school, collegiate and professional athletes. He did some of his best work as a trainer with NBA players Trevor Ariza and Jason Hart. Jay also worked with high school phenom Shea Cotton and two-time NBDL Champion, Tony Bland.
Since entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Morris has worked with the NABC. Morris has been a staff member on the sidelines for two NABC Reese College All-Star games held at the NCAA Final Four. He has had the pleasure of meeting and working with legendary coaches Billy Tubbs, who was well known for his time as the Head Coach at University of Oklahoma, and Bill Hodges, who coached Larry Bird at Indiana State University.
Morris was a standout basketball and football star at Westchester High School in Los Angeles, CA. In 1998, Morris gained all-league and all-city honors as a quarterback. He played one year of college basketball at Citrus College before transferring to Cal Lutheran. Morris played two years of football as a cornerback and punt returner. He then played one year (2004) for the Bakersfield Blitz of the Arena Football League.
Morris gained his degree in Kinesiology from Cal State Dominguez Hills in 2010 and is currently working on a Masters Degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration at Concordia University.
Jay and his wife, Yavonna, reside in Northridge.

CRESTVIEW — If President Barack Obama's first inauguration is a guideline, chances are high that a Crestview High School graduate will take another salute from his commander in chief this afternoon.
Since 2003, Ben Cadle, 35, has been a member of the U.S. Army Ceremonial Band, part of the United States Army Band "Pershing's Own," which is traditionally the first unit to march in inaugural parades. When they marched past the presidential reviewing box on Jan. 20, 2009, President Obama snapped a salute.
Following his 1995 graduation from Crestview High, Ben Cadle, son of Crestview Mayor David Cadle and his wife, Shirley, earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Louisiana State University. He studied at Longy School of Music in Boston before he auditioned for an opening in the Army Ceremonial Band at Fort Myers in Washington, D.C.
Since he was accepted in the band, Ben Cadle has performed for two presidential inaugurations — George W. Bush's second and Obama's first — and Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan's funerals. He has advanced to being a drum-major-in-training.
"I've been drum majoring for the past two and a half to three years," Ben Cadle said. "There's just a handful of us. It's been great to have a position of responsibility in front of your peers. They are amazing musicians. It has been a little intimidating at first but I love it. I love every second I've had as drum major."
"It's an exciting job because he gets to see a lot of history up close and personal," David Cadle said. "He's just learning so much."
He said he and his wife often catch glimpses of their son during television coverage of ceremonial events.
"We saw him once when Bush was president and they were lighting the Christmas tree (in) front of the White House," David Cadle said. "He was in the group that played and it was like zero degrees. The TV caught him several times; I think you could see his hands shaking from the cold. He accompanied Eartha Kitt. I think she sang, 'Santa Baby.'"
A former president's admittance to the hospital shortly before Christmas could have derailed Ben Cadle, his wife, Carrie, and their 14-month-old son Matthew's visit home to Crestview.
"He had some anxiety over the holidays," David Cadle said. "He's the Army band's liaison for funerals and former President (George) Bush went in the hospital. They practice all the presidents' funeral plans."
However, with Bush recuperating, Ben Cadle has been concentrating on Monday's Inaugural Parade, his father said.
"He dreads it because of their rehearsal times," David Cadle said. "They have to rehearse when the city's asleep."
"The rehearsal we had this past Sunday was at 3:15 in the morning," Ben Cadle said. "You put in a full seven-hour day and you're done at 10 in the morning."
On Monday, the mayor will try to catch Inaugural Day coverage on what should be a long but memorable day for his son, "one of the horn players in the mix," as Ben Cadle put it, of the 99-piece band.
Their job begins before the parade even kicks off.
"I'm anticipating being there at 0500 to start off the morning," Ben Cadle said. "There's a lot of waiting. The parade starts soon after 1 p.m. They have a luncheon after the swearing in. We're officially the escort to the president on his way to the parade."

The small Alaska town of Bethel has a population of 6,000, and the area can only be reached by boat or plane. Fliers posted throughout the town last week promised a Taco Bell. Sadly, it was what the Anchorage Daily News called "an evil hoax."

- Possibility of detecting density isomers in high-density nuclear mach shock waves (1976)
- Up to now no experimentally feasible method for detecting abnormal nuclear states has been known. We propose to observe them in high-energy heavy-ion collisions through the disappearance of, or irregularities in, high-density nuclear Mach shock phenomena.
- Shock waves in nuclear matter : proof by circumstantial evidence (1979)
- In the present paper we develop the essential theoretical tools for the treatment of the dynamics of High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions. We study the influence of the nuclear equation of state and discuss the new phenomena connected with phase transitions in nuclear matter (pion condensation). Furthermore we investigate the possibility of a transition from nuclear to quark matter in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions. In this context we discuss exotic phenomena like strongly bound pionic states, limiting temperatures, and exotic nuclei.
- Collective sideward flow of nuclear matter in violent high-energy heavy-ion collisions (1980)
- Angular and energy distributions of fragments emitted from fast nucleus-nucleus collisions (Ne--> U at 250, 400, and 800 MeV/N) are calculated with use of nuclear fluid dynamics. A characteristic dependence of the energy spectra and angular distributions on the impact parameter is predicted. The preferential sideward emission of reaction fragments observed in the calculation for nearly central collisions seems to be supported by recent experimental data.
- Comment on "Exactly central heavy-ion collisions by nuclear hydrodynamics" (1981)
- Problems arising in viscous nuclear fluid dynamical models of high-energy heavy-ion collisions are discussed. The importance of an accurate treatment of the transport properties of the hot and dense nuclear matter is pointed out.
- Importance of nuclear viscosity and thermal conductivity and the analysis of the bounce-off effect in high energy heavy ion collisions (1981)
- We present an analysis of high energy heavy ion collisions at intermediate impact parameters, using a two-dimensional fluid-dynamical model including shear and bulk viscosity, heat conduction, a realistic treatment of the nuclear binding, and an analysis of the final thermal emission of free nucleons. We find large collective momentum transfer to projectile and target residues (the highly inelastic bounce-off effect) and explosion of the hot compressed shock zones formed during the impact. As the calculated azimuthal dependence of energy spectra and angular distributions of emitted nucleons depends strongly on the coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity, future exclusive measurements may allow for an experimental determination of these transport coefficients. The importance of 4π measurements with full azimuthal information is pointed out.
- Macroscopic nucleon-nucleon correlations caused by the bounce-off process in energetic collisions of heavy nuclei (1981)
- Two-particle correlation data are presented for the reaction Ar (800 MeV/ nucleon) + Pb. The experimental results are analyzed in the nuclear fluid dynamical and in a linear cascade model. We demonstrate that the collective hydrodynamical correlations dominate the measured two-particle correlation function for the heavy system studied. We discuss the transition from the early stages of the reaction which are governed by few nucleon correlations, to the later stages with their macroscopic flow which can only be reached using heavy colliding systems. The sensitivity of the correlation data on the underlying compressional dissipative processes is analyzed.
- Jets of nuclear matter from high energy heavy ion collisions (1981)
- The fluid dynamical model is used to study the reactions 20Ne+238U and 40Ar+40Ca at Elab=390 MeV/nucleon. The calculated double differential cross sections d2σ/dΩdE exhibit sidewards maxima in agreement with recent experimental data. The azimuthal dependence of the triple differential distributions, to be obtained from an event-by-event analysis of 4π exclusive experiments, can yield deeper insight into the collision process: Jets of nuclear matter are predicted with a strongly impact-parameter-dependent thrust angle θjet(b). NUCLEAR REACTIONS Ar+Ca, Ne+U, Elab=393 MeV/nucleon, fluid dynamics with thermal breakup, double differential cross sections, azimuthal dependence of triple differential cross sections, event-by-event thrust analysis of 4π exclusive experiments.
- Time-dependent Hartree-Fock studies of superheavy molecules (1983)
- The time dependent Hartree-Fock approximation is used to study the dynamical formation of long-lived superheavy nuclear complexes. The effects of long-range Coulomb polarization are treated in terms of a classical quadrupole polarization model. Our calculations show the existence of "resonantlike" structures over a narrow range of bombarding energies near the Coulomb barrier. Calculations of 238U + 238U are presented and the consequences of these results for supercritical positron emission are discussed. NUCLEAR REACTIONS 238U + 238U collisions as a function of bombarding energy, in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation. Superheavy molecules and strongly damped collisions.
- Viscous fluid dynamical calculation of the reaction 12C(85 MeV/nucleon) + 197Au (1983)
- Proton spectra have been calculated for the reaction 12C(85 MeV/nucleon) + 197Au using a three-dimensional hydrodynamical model with viscosity and thermal conductivity and final thermal breakup. The theoretical results are compared to recent data. It is shown that the predicted flow effects are not observable as a result of the impact parameter averaging inherent in the inclusive proton spectra. In contrast, angular distributions of medium mass nuclei (A>3) in nearly central collisions can provide signatures for flow effects.
- Measurement of complex fragments and clues to the entropy production from 42-137-MeV/nucleon Ar + Au (1983)
- Intermediate-rapidity fragments with A=1-14 emitted from 42-137-MeV/nucleon Ar + Au have been measured. Evidence is presented that these fragments arise from a common moving source. Entropy values are extracted from the mass distributions by use of quantum statistical and Hauser-Feshbach theories. The extracted entropy values of S/A≈2-2.4 are much smaller than the values expected from measured deuteron-to-proton ratios, but are still considerably higher than theoretically predicted values.

Well in my opinion best person to play Roland is Karl Urban
Dennis Quaid. Google his name under google images. He's the right age and build, and if you've ever sen the movei Wyatt Earp, he can play a cowboy type.
This picture from the Waste Lands has always been the Roland I picture in my head:
And this is Dennis Quaid:
I HATE the pictures of Roland in the Wastelands. He looks like David frickin' Hasselhoff.
I can't see Dennis Quid as Roland, sorry. I think there's a similar thread for this somewhere. My vote goes to Viggo Mortensen, number one. I'd prefer Clint Eastwood, of course, but he's too old now. Maybe Clint as Cort, calling them maggots?
OY, with the Viggo Mortensen! He's a dang fine actor, sure...but he just AIN'T Roland to me...don't know why...I think it's the butt-chin.
NO ONE....THESE MOVIES SHOULD NOT BE MADE!!!! THEY CAN NEVER LIVE UP TO THE ONES THAT PLAY IN MY HEAD AS I READ THE STORIES!!! *marsha...my medication pleeze...and a nap*
Clint Eastwood would have been the perfect Roland.. but yes he is too old
How 'bout this:
Roland--younger Clint Eastwood
Eddie--James Dean
Suze--Billy Holiday
Jake--gosh, you know, I really dont give a damn who plays Jake
Walter--Richard Widmark
Jonas--Lee Marvin
Cort--John Wayne (with a shaven head...wouldn't that be a riot?)
Balazarr--Edward G Robinson
Steve Deschain--Humphrey Bogart
you see where I'm going with this? Have the whole thing directed by Sergio Leonne, or John Huston, with a Morricone soundtrack and were in buisness.
Just watched a movie I never heard of before on Netflix a few weeks ago called Centurion and kept thinking throughout the film that the lead actor (Michael Fassbender) would make a good Roland. It was actually a pretty good movie too.

I'm usually more optimistic than most Westerners when it comes to Russia. This is not because I'm enamored with Russia's current political institutions, but primarily because I write a lot about seemingly dry and boring topics, like health and demography, where things have improved quite substantially over the past thirteen years. In terms of its population trends, Russia's actual performance since 2000 has consistently exceeded even the rosiest predictions. In other words, it's usually difficult for me to square the virtually universal pessimism about the country with rapid improvement in basic indicators like life expectancy and fertility.
But there are obviously dark sides to contemporary Russia, and the problems associated with mass migration (and the nationalist backlash that it has inspired) are close to the top of the list. These tensions exploded yesterday in Biryulyovo, a working class district in southern Moscow. As reported by CBS:
The stabbing death of an ethnic Russian man has ignited anger in Moscow against people from the Caucasus, with demonstrators breaking into a shopping center and storming a vegetable warehouse Sunday evening. Police detained hundreds of people.
The man was believed to have been killed by a native of the North Caucasus, a region in southern Russia where the people are predominantly Muslim. Caucasus natives work in the shopping center and at many vegetable markets around the Russian capital.
Even if you don't speak Russian I would highly recommend watching the following video, which gives a pretty good sense of the pandemonium that transpired and of the undistilled, inchoate rage of the demonstrators. As of Monday morning it appears that "calm" has been restored after a show of force by that police that, even by Russian standards, was massive and heavy-handed and the rioting does not seem to have spread to any other regions of Moscow or any other cities within Russia. Miraculously no one was killed, but dozens were injured and hundreds were arrested. It was a dangerous and ugly spectacle.
What is most disconcerting, though, is not the riot itself but the ethnic nationalist passions that inspired it. Rioting is obviously bad, but Moscow will be able to survive with one fewer vegetable market and, in retrospect the security forces were actually able to disperse the crowd in fairly short order. What happened in Biryulovo, in other words, was pretty clearly not a Tahrir Square moment that will rapidly escalate into a nationwide popular mobilization.
But the passions that motivated the people in Biryulovo, hatred and fear of central Asians and people from the Caucasus, appear to be gaining ever greater traction in Russian society. They also appear to be gaining ever greater acceptance among the anti-Putin opposition. Alexey Navalny, by far the most prominent and popular member of the anti-Putin movement, wasted no time in responding to the events in Biryulovo. Writing on his LiveJournal blog, Navalny laid the blame for the riots on a virtually endless list of people and institutions: the police, the courts, the interior ministry, the FSB, the Kremlin, the migrants, corrupt bureaucrats, oligarchs, and Vladimir Putin himself.
A curious omission from Navalny's list of the guilty was the one group that would have been the most obvious inclusion: the rioters. In Navalny's narrative riots like that in Biryulovo just sort of happen. No particular person or group of people is to blame, violent disturbances are just the inevitable results of Russia's corrupt and ineffective state institutions.
Navalny never explicitly endorses the riots, you see, because he's far too clever to do such a thing. Explicitly supporting a riot would not only expose him to criminal prosecution, but would weaken his political brand among the sophisticated and internet-savvy denizens of Russia's large cities. Navalny, in the words of NYU professor Mark Galeotti, is engaging in a form of "cheap and nasty populism," a stance that, with a wink and a nod, acknowledges all of the grievances of the nationalists while remaining studiously silent on their tactics.
While this is entirely Navalny's decision to make (and while Russians should be free to express any political views they desire) it seems clear to me that the goals of the liberals and the nationalists are starkly divergent. Liberalism, at its best, is about encouraging the free flow of people, goods, and ideas, about establishing clear rules of the game that apply equally to all citizens regardless of their religion, sex, or ethnicity. And so a truly "liberal" Russia would welcome the influx of "migrants"* from the Caucasus because they play important roles in economic sectors that ethnic Russians traditionally eschew. Comparative advantage, and that sort of thing.
A nationalist policy, in contrast, would seek to preserve "Russia for the Russians." It would be, of necessity, a less inclusive society because identity was being constructed on an immutable, ethnic basis. A nationalist Russia would be more paranoid and insecure, a country that was constantly fretting about the "dangers" posed by outsiders. It would be less economically dynamic, and more focused on the preservation of stability.
I'd very much like to see a more liberal Russia, a Russia that is genuinely open to new people, ideas, and goods. Perhaps I'm just small minded and unoriginal, but I simply cannot imagine how a more liberal Russia will emerge from the cynical and instrumental use of ethnic nationalism. Nationalism is almost always a deeply reactionary force, and I think that Russian liberals are making an enormous mistake in trying to exploit it because it's not something that they control. Once you let the nationalist genie out of the bottle, there's no way of cramming it back in.
And so that's what's truly scary about Biryulovo. Not the violence itself, but the ways in which the non-systemic opposition looks at that violence and sees not an unjustifiable attempt at collective punishment, but an excellent opportunity to weaken the state. That's a perfectly understandable strategy, but one that's likely to end in tears.

* I use quotations here because the people that were the target of the Biryulovo riot are, legally speaking, every bit as "Russian" as the rioters themselves

Can we be certain that competitions/draws on twitter and other social media platforms are 100% transparent and fair?
After reading Di Coke's Blog on Twitter Competitions/Draws – (http://superlucky.me/2014/09/choosing-winner-rt-giveaway/) which I would recommend to anyone interested is competitions/draws. And having run many such draws over the last five years I can say hand on heart we have tried to ensure that the whole process is extremely fair.
However we have relied upon 3rd party software to randomly pick followers For RT & Follow draws or tweeters that have tweeted the hashtag we were using for just RT draws. We use Tweetdraw currently to select our winners.
However as Di points out Tweetdraw only report a winner. They do not say from what pool of entries that winner has been chosen from. One has to draw ones own conclusions as to whether the pool they select a winner from is a complete list. So clearly there are some "draw"backs for many promoters of such competitions & draws. Especially if you are a small business and don't want to spend fortunes on what is essentially a bit of fun for your social media friends.
Di's blog goes into some detail about other methods used so I don't wish to repeat Di's work on this, however I do want to let you know what the Beech Hill have decided to do so that our competitions/draws are beyond reproach and are 100% fair.
We asked our web developers to wright some bespoke software so that our twitter competition/draw's entrants information is captured via our website and recorded in a csv file.
We will the remove any duplicate entries, and then a winner will be selected using Random.org to pick a number in the range of entries that are in the csv file.
And finally to make the whole experience slightly more fun to enter the draw. You will first have to find our Hidden Sign Post somewhere in our website. On the sign post the button to enter the draw can be found, all you will need to do then is fill your details in then and agree to our draw terms & conditions and send out a tweet saying that you found our Hidden Sign Post so that your mates/followers can see our draw too!
We intend to start using this Hidden Sign Post draw for our next draw on twitter. Our current draw #WinaHamper is due to finish on 6 April 2015 so I estimate our new draw will commence Mid April so do keep an eye out for it.
Happy Comping

Press Release from Peter Rabbit:
The World of Beatrix Potter™ Attraction is preparing to host its immensely popular interactive Peter Rabbit Egg Hunt. Taking place on Wednesday 1 April, the one-day event promises digital egg hunters a fun day in the beautiful Lake District, searching for one of the 50 highly prized limited-edition ceramic eggs using an interactive google map to help them. Ten of the special eggs have fantastic prizes attached including luxury Lake District hotel breaks and family days out at the best Lakeland Attractions. By taking part in the event, egg hunters are also helping to raise valuable funds for WaterAid, an international charity providing clean water and sanitation to some of the world's poorest communities.
The egg hunt combines technology and the great outdoors. Participants use the interactive map to help them, and as each egg is found, its lucky winner tweets, texts or calls the Egg Hunt Head Quarters back at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, where the egg location is then taken off the master copy of the digital map. This then updates every egg-hunter's map out on location so they can focus on the remaining eggs to find.
This year the 50 handcrafted ceramic eggs, designed and created by local artist Sue Dunne along the theme of The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle, will be placed in top secret locations in the Lake District region, some in woodland areas and others on favourite family walks. The eggs will be placed in open view in public areas, so no digging or delving is necessary. Many families take part every year and experienced egg hunters say that the key to success is to keep your eyes open and use the clues to help you.
Everyone who finds an egg gets to keep it as a collector's item and also claims a new special-edition copy of the Tale of Peter Rabbit, courtesy of Frederick Warne, publisher of the Beatrix Potter books, plus free family entry to the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction. Ten lucky eggs also have special prizes attached including overnight stays. Family prizes also include tickets for Windermere Lake Cruises, Lakes Aquarium, Lakeland Motor Museum, Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway, Go Ape Tree Top Junior.
The Egg Hunt will be launched live on Wednesday 1 April at 10am on the World of Beatrix Potter website. Treasure hunters need to sign up online prior to the event and donate £2 to WaterAid before they can view the map and clues on their mobile device and set out on their quest. No special egg hunting equipment is required for the super fun one-day event – just a mobile device with internet signal, keen eyes and fantastic deciphering skills for the cunning clues! Once all the eggs have been found (usually by mid-afternoon) the egg hunt is over for another year and the lucky winners can come to the Attraction to collect their prize.
Egg Hunt progress can be followed on twitter: @peterrabbiteggs with hashtag #PeterRabbitEggs.

Steeped in history and intrigue, the Yorkshire Dales are a fascinating point in the English landscape.
From wildlife to untamed natural beauty, there is so much to enjoy in this enchanting place.
Established in 1954, the dales cover an area of 1,762 square kilometres (680 square miles). They straddle the central Pennines in North Yorkshire and Cumbria and are North East of Manchester and directly North of Leeds and Bradford. The area is large and easy to locate.
The dales offer the largest area of nationally and internationally important habitats in the country. The wildflower rich hay meadows, pastures in the dale bottoms and the northern moorland edges, are so important for wading birds. The windswept uplands with their bogs and heathery hillsides, offer a home for native creatures and insects alike.
The south of the national park, displays one of the best examples in Britain of classic limestone, with its crags, pavements and intricate cave systems.
Unbeknown to many, is the fact that this landscape is shaped by ice, with significant glacial and post-glacial features, notably drumlin fields and the post-glacial lakes of Semerwater and Malham Tarn.
There are also some amazing waterfalls such as Hardraw Force with its 90ft single drop and Thornton Force with its erratic streams, unlike any other waterfall. The bodies of water in the Dales, combine to create some enchanting acoustics.
The Yorkshire Dales have inspired artists and poets for centuries, it truly is a special place. The tranquility is immeasurable but if you really want to absorb some captivating beauty, visit it at night, when the lack of pollution enables the night to retain its darkness, allowing the moon and stars to fully sparkle.

Product Description
What is Bitcoin?
In layman's terms, Bitcoin is a digital currency based on strong cryptographic principles, and designed to enable users to send money over the Internet without needing a credit card or bank account. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin
Who runs Bitcoin? What is the company behind Bitcoin?
In short, no one runs Bitcoin. Bitcoin is run collectively by the users who uses the Bitcoin Client, and any changes to the Bitcoin system have to be approved by the majority of users before they are implemented.
What is a Bitcoin address?
A Bitcoin address is a unique identifier which allows you to receive Bitcoins. With PayPal you send funds to an email address, and similarly with Bitcoin you send funds to a Bitcoin address called a wallet. For example, this is an active Bitcoin addresses: 164RcnbMkNz53mfo3jAns28zHqi4v27LUG
You can also scan a QR code with your mobile device.
This module will allow your visitors and site members to tip other members using Bitcoin as a reward for submitting quality stories or content. They can either use the wallet link to launch their Bitcoin client on their computer, or use a scan-able QR code from any mobile device.
Each time someone makes a new submission on your site they are presented with the option to enter their Bitcoin wallet address. This is the address that they receive money at. If the person chooses to add his or her wallet address a small box will show up on the story page that will allow your readers to send that user a tip. The total amount of tips is displayed in the box along with the date that the wallet address was created.
- Installs in seconds.
