GREENBELT, Md. -- A NASA team is developing a transparent coating that mimics the self-cleaning properties of the lotus plant to prevent dirt from sticking to the surfaces of spaceflight gear and bacteria from growing inside astronaut living quarters.
Materials engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., are working to develop a "lotus" coating that can survive the harsh space environment and minimize contaminants from adhering to the surfaces of radiators, spacesuits, scientific instruments, robotic rovers, solar array panels, windows and other hardware used to gather scientific data or carry out exploratory activities during missions.
The technology, which was inspired by the lotus plant that lives along muddy waterways in Asia, was commercially developed as a coating for windows to reduce the need for cleaning. Although a lotus leaf appears smooth, under a microscope, its surface actually contains innumerable tiny spikes. These spikes greatly reduce the area on which water and dirt can attach, preventing them from adhering strongly to the leaf. Water droplets literally roll off, taking mud, tiny insects, and contaminants with them.
The coating, made primarily from silica, zinc oxide, and other oxides, offers countless commercial applications on Earth. It also offers great potential for use in space, particularly on landed missions to Mars or the moon where dust can accumulate on rovers and prevent them from carrying out their missions. Understanding the potential, Northrop Grumman Electronics Systems, Linthicum, Md., teamed with nGimat Corporation, based in Atlanta, Ga., to find more applications for the coating technology, ultimately turning to Goddard for its expertise in making equipment ready to endure the harsh space environment.
"Indeed, the ability to replicate these properties could prove invaluable to NASA," said Wanda Peters, Principal Investigator for NASA's lotus coating research.'/>"/>

The deadly microscopic amoeba made its way up 12-year-old Kali Hardig's nose to her brain during a visit to the Willow Springs lake in Arkansas
Army engineers will open a key spillway along the bulging Mississippi River as early as today, deluging thousands of homes and farms in Louisiana's Cajun country in order to avert a potentially bigger disaster in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Gangs of chimpanzees kill individuals from neighbouring groups in order to expand their territory and seize new food resources, according to a new study of the animals' notoriously aggressive behaviour in the wild.
Floodwaters that rose as swiftly as 8 feet an hour tore through a campground packed with vacationing families early yesterday, carrying away tents and overturning RVs as campers slept. At least 16 people were killed, and dozens more missing and feared dead.
The angry tide that has already felled two high-profile members of the US Senate this midterm election season may have been checked at least for now after Senator Blanche Lincoln, a centrist Democrat in Arkansas, narrowly fended off a challenge from a more left-wing contender in a keenly anticipated primary contest.

Sarah Palin says her decision to resign as governor of Alaska was motivated by "a higher calling", and she promised to keep fighting for conservative causes on a national stage.
42rd president - 1993-2001
The hard-hitting crime writer James Crumley wrote novels of a honed, rugged wit that were narrated by investigators as down-at-heel as their quarries. In this he was an heir to Raymond Chandler, whose paperbacks he had come across in 1967, in a Mexican supermarket. It was an epiphany that made Crumley realise that sustained linguistic flourish was not solely the province of such work as his own first, sprawling novel about army life, One to Count Cadence. Seven more novels followed, the best of which were set in Montana, the patch he made his own throughout a turbulent, much-married life.
The polls were just closing in America's Super Tuesday primary contests when the apocalypse came – not a political apocalypse but a swirl of tornadoes that ripped across the voting states of Tennessee and Arkansas, killing at least 48 people and injuring hundreds of others. Roofs flew off buildings like lids off jam jars. Cars and trucks were tossed across roads. Mobile homes crumpled, and even solidly built houses collapsed, leaving nothing but their concrete foundations standing. Phone and power lines blew down. Trees snapped.

I know it was raining last night but I went out with friends shooting anyway.
As I arrived at the meeting place this couple were sitting right in front of where I parked, I couldnt get my camera out the boot quick enough. I know the sky is not as moody as I would have liked but it was a rush job and they moved before it got any darker and I dont have an ND grad filter....... yet
ISO 200 20mm f 5.6 1/50 sec
adjusted curves added a teensy bit of vignetting as it was darker on the lhs anyway, storm brewing...couldnt make my mind up to add or leave the vignetting so without vignetting it is behind this one
(sorry if you clicked on the first upload )
Thanks as always

Like it. The vignetting adds to the effectiveness of the image, but seems a little strong on the left for my taste. Great shot.
Nominating Constructive Critique
i like the central area and the dark colours work well with the pink umberella, for me, the probem is the heavy vignetting merges with the black background. alternatives would have been a white stroke to seperate the black from black, or a white background, and for me, i may even have considered a square crop with the umberella bang centre,
great idea, pictures good but if you dont mind me saying, the background is too similar to the image.
Nominating Constructive Critique
D, I love the shot. Love the texture in the concrete. Love the lines of perspective. Love the focus of interest, Love the sky. Happy with the slight vignette on the right. Too much vignette for me on the left. IMHO. But what do I know? You're the ace of the base

Thanks everyone
What a lot of great and very constructive comments/critique ..thanks so very much
there were heavy clouds to the RHS
it was raining when I took this
and so
as the vignetting added to the feel of the image I think my error was adding a black border to it, which may have over-emphasised the vignetting, and made it too dark
but I love it this way
hey ho !
thanks for the RC
and thanks as always for all the c&c's

I like the vignetted version best helps to focus the attention on the seat couple, love the colours of the sky and concrete. The low shooting angle works very well too. Congrats.

Not sure I like the vignetting. Love the composition. The central couple wouldn't be the same without those two lines. Good title as the pink is what hits you as you move into the shot

What bios are you using? What dash? I know this is against what we are told to do, but when I booted from CDRW, I had to name my dash 'yboxdash.xbe' to get it to work (because I am using ybox mod), even though we are told to use 'default.xbe', depending on what bios you are using, give it a go, its got to be worth a go.
Posted 27 October 2002 - 04:25 AM
i'm using the ( 256k.Evx2.5.colormod.err.noani.evox ) in the cd-rw and I renamed the default.xbe to xboxdash.xbe
Posted 27 October 2002 - 01:13 PM
Even if you were 'meant' to rename the default.xbe on a cdrw, you wouldn't call it 'xboxdash.xbe, having the evox superfr0 dash, you will need to call your dash evoxdash.xbe, at least on the hdd, and maybe worth a go on the cdrw (even tho its wrong but it worked for me).
Posted 27 October 2002 - 04:02 PM
thanks for the help!

McGuire, Editor of New Book on Judicial Politics
Professor Kevin T. McGuire, Department of Political Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, is the editor of the recently published New Directions in Judicial Politics (Routledge, 2012). The book is part of the series, New Directions in American Politics, covering key areas of study in the field of American politics and government.
New Directions in Judicial Politics, as described by the publisher, "seeks to demystify the courts, offering readers the insights of empirical research to address questions that are of genuine interest to students. In addition to presenting a set of conclusions about the way in which courts operate, this book also models the craft of political research, illustrating how one can account for a variety of factors that might affect the courts and how they operate. The renowned scholars and teachers in this volume invite critical thinking, not only about the substance of law and courts in America, but also about the ways in which we study judicial politics."
Professor Isaac Unah, also a faculty member of the Department of Political Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, Race, is a contributor to the book as a co-author along with John Charles Boger of the article Race and Death Sentencing.
"In this latest volume, Kevin McGuire has organized a terrific selection of essays that collectively paint a fascinating portrait of American courts in contemporary society. The contributing authors, who represent a perfect blend of accomplished senior scholars and the brightest up-and-coming stars, use rigorous empirics to take us significantly beyond the simple understandings of the past to the complex realities of the judicial process in American politics. Many of these works challenge the conventional wisdom and address some of the most important controversies of the day. This fascinating collection represents the very best of modern judicial politics scholarship and is a must-read for any student of American politics." —Melinda Gann Hall, Michigan State University

PC-BSD is an open source BSD distribution based on the well known FreeBSD operating system and built around the KDE Plasma Workspaces and Applications project, as its default desktop environment.
Distributed as a 64-bit Live DVD
It is distributed as a single and very large DVD ISO image that can only be installed on a computer or laptop. This means that you won't be able to test the operating system before installing it.
Only the 64-bit hardware platform is supported at this time. Besides KDE, recent versions of PC-BSD are also distributed with the popular Cinnamon, GNOME and MATE desktop environments.
The recommended hardware requirements include a 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, 4GB of RAM, 50GB of free disk space, a network card, a sound card, and a NVIDIA, Intel or AMD Radeon 3D accelerated graphics card.
Features at a glance
Its key highlights include an easy installation and update processes, automatic configuration of hardware components, intuitive desktop interface, easy software management, support for laptops, very secure environment, easy system administration, and support for numerous languages.
Another interesting feature is the ability to run almost any GNU/Linux application, thanks to its built-in Linux binary compatibility functionality. In addition, it can run Windows application via the Wine software.
In addition, the disk drives on which PC-BSD is installed don't need to be defragmented and will never slow down over time, thanks to the compelling ZFS (Z File System) self-healing filesystem.
Getting started with PC-BSD
PC-BSD's desktop can be used immediately, and will make installing pre-built software packages as easy as on other popular UNIX-like or GNU/Linux operating systems. It provides users with a stable and secure computing environment, just like any other BSD-based distribution.
With PC-BSD you won't have to worry about computer viruses and other type of malware anymore. It's not Linux, is BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and it is one of the most user-friendly operating systems powered by this UNIX ecosystem.

Respond to Review of Sanchon
by mfoy
Review: We visited the restaurant for dinner while in Seoul in Aug 2010. It is a fixed course vegan meal, you just sit down, and food starts to come. Nice place right in the heart of the Insadong area. It is about mid way between the two ends of Insadong Street. In Aug 2010, Sanchon had a type of "health food store" right on Insadong - and the sign said temple food. To get to the restaurant, you followed the little alley right next to the health food store all the way back. The food is very good, and you get many courses. There is also live entertainment on certain nights. We did not ever go for lunch, but the lunch prices were lower (so that is a good choice if you want to experience this place, but don't want to spend about 34,000WON on dinner - I think lunch was about 22,000WON).

Spy laws must be examined, but no quick fix: British PM
Despite thinking that the public is not that concerned about data and communication privacy issues, the British prime minister has acknowledged that legislation around these must be modernised.
Despite thinking that the public is not that concerned about data and communication privacy issues, the British prime minister has acknowledged that legislation around these must be modernised.
After two years of denying to French data protection groups that its unified privacy policy breaches privacy legislation, Google has been issued with the maximum possible fine by France's privacy commission.
While it looked dead in the water for a while, the Queen's speech looks to have breathed new life into the controversial Communications Data Bill.
Dubbed as one of the most privacy infringing pieces of legislation ever to have hit the Capitol, what exactly is CISPA, and how does it affect you?
Privacy and consumer rights groups have been battling for data breach-notification laws, but, given the passing of new privacy amendments in parliament last week, some groups are now wondering if further laws will go too far.
The Australian public has a chance to have its say on whether the country should introduce data breach-notification laws, now that the Attorney-General's Department has released a discussion paper.
The Australian Pirate Party has slammed the Attorney-General's Department for refusing to see through a Freedom of Information request, while applauding Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull for finally speaking out against the data retention proposal.
The Victorian privacy commissioner has said that he may support the proposed data retention legislation, if it is only implemented in a limited fashion and results in the introduction of mandatory data breach notification laws.
The Information Commissioner has set out guidelines on how it will deal with organisations that breach the Privacy and PCEHR Acts, and is asking the public to see if they are appropriate.
European policy-makers want to nail down the terms 'privacy' and 'security' to help formulate future legislation, and have given a group of researchers more than €3m to conduct a project to gauge European attitudes to the concepts.The Prisms project, which quietly launched on 1 February, was announced on Thursday by German research body the Fraunhofer Institute.
Senator Richard Blumenthal is drafting legislation to stop employers asking for your Facebook password. He believes the law is required to stop the "unreasonable invasion of privacy."
Australian organisations remain divided over the issue of data breach notification laws, leaving the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet with mixed signals over what to do in regards to planning a strategy for Australia's digital future.
The European Commission has dropped a privacy infringement case against the UK government over BT trials of Phorm behavioural advertising.The government avoided Commission legal action by changing UK privacy legislation, the Commission said in a statement on Thursday.
Justice commissioner Viviane Reding has explained how she wants to change the system of binding corporate rules, which are codes of practice showing compliance with EU data protection laws
Sen. Al Franken, who was instrumental in bringing location privacy legislation after this year's "Locationgate" scandal, is seeking answers after mobile phone software was used to track users' location and collect personal data.
Some may welcome it as a conciliatory and positive step towards resolving disputes between ISPs and copyright holders, but the industry's new code of practice also turns Australia away from the privacy protections of its European heritage, and towards an American-style regime where privacy is less sacred than commercial interests.
Body scanners will still show people as if they were naked, but their faces will be blurred, under rules adopted by the European Commission that aim to protect travellers' privacy
Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon has today aired the exposure draft of the legislation behind the government's personally controlled e-health records (PCEHR) project, while outlining tough penalties for those found in breach of the proposed privacy provisions.
Following on from its move to fast track the issue of whether Australians should have a statutory right to privacy, the Minister for Privacy and Freedom of Information Brendan O'Connor today released an issues paper to discuss proposed legislation on the topic.
Telstra has called on the Australian Federal Government to give it more time to implement a proposed mandatory data preservation system, also stating that it shouldn't have to foot the bill for such a system.

, but I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts and knowing that this series keeps getting better.
Ahhhh thanks, I appreciate that. This series has been a really splendid surprise. I never had any pent up hatred for the show but I also never regarded it as anything more than disposable entertainment.
Who knew a comic based on the show would actually be really good?
Issue 3 was good, but seemed a bit short to me. Am I wrong about that?
It's hard to tell. I read the thing panel by panel on Comixology so it always seems
short to me.

Re: nh hotel nurnberg city
I looked at the links and didn't see anything about actually having to arrive by car. But I saw a few other restrictions, namely the one about having to book a double. You say you're coming with two friends, which means this offer is good for two of you, the third person will have to book a single.
I checked at a weekend in August and came up with 127,50 Euro for the three of you for one night.
But if you to the regular NH page and book a triple, you suddenly get a room rate of 82,50 Euro, also through Sleep and Go, but this time no mentioning of double only.

The Reality Of Deep Stalls
Stalls are simply stalls, except when they're not
The obvious downside was higher bending loads on the vertical stab that dictated structural beef-up, often adding weight. Several manufacturers tried T-tails and liked the modern, updated look of the airplane, even if there was little aerodynamic benefit. That's not to suggest there aren't some very real advantages to T-tails, but just like winglets, stall strips and leading edge slots, they don't work on all airplanes.
Among the Pipers, T-tails included the Tomahawk, Arrow IV, Lance II and Seminole, plus the turboprop Cheyenne III and 400LS. (Today, the Seminole is the only Piper that remains T-configured.) Beech had the Skipper, Duchess and most of the King Air series; Diamond has the C1 Eclipse, DA40 Star and DA42 Twin Star; Piaggio has the P-180 Avanti; Pilatus has the PC-12 and, depending upon how you count them, you could add at least another half-dozen models to the list.
Canard-equipped airplanes that don't sport T-tails also may be susceptible to deep stalls by the very nature of their design. Models that fly behind canards typically enjoy a stall-immune existence—most of the time.
Designers configure the canard to meet the relative wind at a slightly higher angle of attack than the following wing. This means, by definition, the canard will always stall first, the nose will drop, and the wing will never be able to reach its critical AOA. Beware of the word "never." If the pilot does induce a high pitch attitude that stalls the wing, it may be extremely difficult to recover as the canard is even more deeply stalled.
Stall Aerodynamics
In order to understand deep stalls, we need to review normal stalls. As angle of attack increases, the wing assumes more and more lift, but it also begins to pick up additional drag. As AOA increases further, both lift and drag increase, but the drag curve begins to catch up with the lift curve as more airflow separates from the top surface of the wing and flow becomes progressively more turbulent. When drag finally exceeds lift and the airfoil reaches its critical angle of attack, the wing finally stalls and pitches forward. At least, that how it's supposed to work.
Most aircraft wings stall at or below 20 degrees angle of attack. Deep stalls can occur when the airfoil is forced into an attitude greater than its critical AOA. Depending upon wing location, this can place the T-tail in the airflow shadow of the wing, effectively blanking the tail and significantly reducing elevator effectiveness. With improper management, especially in certain CG situations, this can result in a stabilized deep stall. (It's also possible to experience a deep stall in a low-tail airplane, but that's an extremely rare event.)
