Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity
Duke University Press, Dec 27, 2002 - Literary Collections - 195 pages
A pioneer in queer theory and literary studies, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick brings together for the first time in Touching Feeling her most powerful explorations of emotion and expression. In essays that show how her groundbreaking work in queer theory has developed into a deep interest in affect, Sedgwick offers what she calls "tools and techniques for nondualistic thought," in the process touching and transforming such theoretical discourses as psychoanalysis, speech-act theory, Western Buddhism, and the Foucauldian "hermeneutics of suspicion."
In prose sometimes somber, often high-spirited, and always accessible and moving, Touching Feeling interrogates—through virtuoso readings of works by Henry James, J. L. Austin, Judith Butler, the psychologist Silvan Tomkins and others—emotion in many forms. What links the work of teaching to the experience of illness? How can shame become an engine for queer politics, performance, and pleasure? Is sexuality more like an affect or a drive? Is paranoia the only realistic epistemology for modern intellectuals? Ultimately, Sedgwick's unfashionable commitment to the truth of happiness propels a book as open-hearted as it is intellectually daring.

Why Do Onions Make Us Cry?
An onion a day keeps the doctor away? Recently, I have been trying to eat healthier and adding more fruits and vegetables into my diet. Last week I decided to make some shrimp tacos, which turned out fabulously by the way. I sauteed some onions with my shrimp and when I was chopping them, my eyes of course started tearing up. It got me thinking, why do onions make us cry?
Onions have many health benefits. They can help prevent infections by aiding your immune system, they can help maintain a healthy blood pressure and diseases such as diabetes and heart disease and they even help in reducing the risk of cancer and fighting the growth of tumors. Furthermore, they taste delicious on a juicy hamburger or sauteed with some fajitas. Onions also have some negatives. They can make your breath reek and the preparation could cause a few tears in the process.
When you begin chopping an onion, you break the cells inside the meat of the onions. This releases enzymes from the onion. These enzymes are made of two key ingredients: sulfur and oxygen. If you've ever taken a chemistry class, then you know there are many different combinations of atoms that make up the things around us, but sulfur and oxygen in the right ratio can create something not so nice.
The sulfur oxide vapors that are released from cutting the onion rise up into your face and your eyes. Once they react with the water in your eyes, the onion vapors turn into sulfuric acid. This causes the irritation, the stinging feeling in your eyes and the increased tear production. Your eyes produce more tears to flush the sulfuric acid from your eyes, and that is why you cry.
Now, you may be wondering, "Well, how can I prevent my eyes from watering when I cut up onions?" The truth is that there isn't really much you can do to prevent the stinging from happening. You may have heard that if you light a candle near the onion, cut it in water, or chew on bread while you are cutting the onion, that it will help. It's true that these methods could possibly help reduce the onion vapors going into your eyes, but you also seem ridiculous and some of the methods may reduce the flavor of the onion. One thing you definitely don't want to do is rub your eyes. They probably have onion juice on them from cutting the onions. The most effective, and possibly only, way to prevent your eyes from tearing up when you are cutting onions is to wear goggles. This, however, will look and seem just as silly as all the other ways.
Overall, the health benefits of onions outweigh the negatives, in my opinion. Not to mention these little critters are delicious, especially when they are sauteed in a little bit of oil and turn into sweet bites of flavor with your dinner. Shedding a few tears never killed anyone.

Has anyone ever used it? I'm wondering if it has much selection and how to search the listings online.
here's a link to the catalog search. Just search music title.
I have no idea what kind of selection they have though.
When I was there I always used the Ames Public Library. They actually have a really good selection of music (older stuff mostly), and I would just check them our and rip them onto my computer. I've still got most of it.

Thanks. I tried that, but I didn't find much. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a better way to search the library collection.
I might try the Ames Library too.
Anyone else know if a good source for free legal music?

The trend for botanical homewares
Our delight in all things floral can be traced as far back as 2,500BC in ancient Egypt when locals were adorning themselves with flowers. We've been decorating ourselves and our homes with floral prints ever since. So it's not surprising to learn that florals are a strong trend for spring 2013, though under the somewhat more haughty tag of botanicals, nodding to our national obsession with all things garden related. This year oversized, graphic Warholesque flower prints have been replaced by more restrained and artistic, smaller-scale petal and leaf designs.
And restraint is key to using the new generation of florals in your home. Where in the 1970s and 1980s we might have decorated an entire room with flowery things (wallpaper, curtains and cushions), in 2013 we are using designs sparingly. So, feature walls are still in, complemented ideally by white or very pale walls, as is bringing florals into the home via statement cushions or rugs.
Scottish designer Fi Douglas has been championing a painted kind of floral design seen in her Bluebellgray products (above and below). All of Bluebellgray's designs are painted by hand in Glasgow and are a bright and bold way to introduce a floral motif to a room.
Feature walls don't always have to be about screamingly loud or crazily geometric patterns. An understated botanical works just as well. Sanderson's Angel Ferns wallpaper brings a calm air to a room and provides a brilliant backdrop for houseplants.
Another way to bring botanicals into the home is on fabric. Curtains can work, but avoid using 'blousey' prints so beloved in the 1970s and 1980s and opt for smaller repeats. A statement chair can introduce a note of nature to your scheme. This one (below) is from Parker Knoll. (Fabric is Tournier by Sanderson.)
Clarissa Hulse uses patterns and textures inspired by all things nature and botanical. These silk cushions are wonderfully luxurious and will complement most colour scheme. And you can shop the Clarissa Hulse promotion at ACHICA from Monday 18 February 2013.

Prison escapees find freedom short-lived
By 67AM KPUA News
Prison escapes are on the upswing, but the escapees keep ending up back where they began behind bars. The state Department of Corrections said this week that every inmate who has escaped from a jail or prison in Hawaii this century has been captured. Five inmates have escaped so far this year, compared to eight last year and just two in 2012.
Prison overcrowding continues to be a big issue throughout the state. Hilos Hawaii Community Correctional Center was designed for 206 inmates, but houses 388.

Dielectric relaxation studies in n‐butyl‐4,5,7‐trinitrofluorenone‐2‐carboxylate/LexanR polycarbonate solid solutions47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322448View Description Hide Description
The α and combined low‐temperature dielectric relaxations of n‐butyl‐4,5,7‐trinitrofluorenone‐2‐carboxylate (BuTNF)/LexanR polycarbonate solid solutions have been studied. It has been shown that only in the specific case of the β relaxations in the components does a correlated motion exist. For the α (T g ) relaxations, the relaxation modes are shown to coexist and are dependent upon composition. The intensity of the dielectricT g relaxation is dominated by BuTNF. The sub‐T g relaxations of the system are different. At intermediate compositions, a correlated β relaxation of the polymer–small‐molecule combination is observed. With the exception of the correlated β relaxation, the individual intensities appear to be relative functions of the molar concentrations. This study indicates that BuTNF acts as a plasticizer for the α and γ relaxations of polycarbonates and interacts directly with the phenyl group of the polycarbonate producing a correlated motion. This interaction affects the potential field causing the relaxation, but does not plasticize the relaxation.
Thermally stimulated discharge in polymer electrets: Compatibility and impurity effects47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322449View Description Hide Description
Polymer electrets have been prepared and studied by measuring thermally stimulated discharge currents. Two current maxima have been observed for samples of polystyrene, poly(p‐chlorostyrene), and a random copolymer of styrene and p‐chlorostyrene. These maxima are attributed to dipole reorientation accompanying the glass transition and to real charge drifts. Poly(2,6 dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) and blends of this polymer with the three aforementioned polymers were also studied. In these systems unresolved and nonreproducible peaks were obtained, and these difficulties have been attributed to impurities present.
Preliminary investigation of elongational flow of dilute polymer solutions47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322450View Description Hide Description
A tubeless siphon apparatus has been set up to measureextensional flow. In this apparatus the liquid is continuously drawn into a capillary and, after steady flow has been established, the tube is raised above the liquid surface. With viscoelastic liquids the flow continues and a column can be lifted from the reservoir. At the capillary entrance an oscillating bead of excess liquid collects, which interferes both with the flow and the measurements. This can be minimized by careful control of the liquid column height. For homogeneous solutions the column is symmetrical and tapers steadily from the liquid surface to the capillary entrance, with no bulging. Preliminary results show tensile viscosities 103 times that of the Trouton coefficient 3η S0, where η S0 is the zeroshear‐Rate shear viscosity, and having a very strong dependence on deformation rate. A concentration‐stretch‐rate‐reduced variable scheme is proposed.
Time dependence of small‐angle x‐ray measurements on segmented polyurethanes following thermal treatment47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322451View Description Hide Description
Using the method of small‐angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS), the time‐dependent structural changes in some linear‐segmented urethanes have been investigated. The results directly support the time‐ and temprature‐dependent morphological model proposed earlier by one of the authors. Specifically, upon heating of many linear urethanes, the degree of domain structure is decreased. Upon quenching to ambient temperature, there is a significant period of time required to reestablish the domain structure which, in turn, strongly influences the time‐dependent mechanical behavior.
Longitudinal acoustic mode in polymers47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322452View Description Hide Description
The theory of the longitudinal vibrations of a composite ''crystalline‐amorphous'' elastic rod with perturbing forces at the ends has been developed. The longitudinal‐acoustic‐mode fundamental frequencies are tabulated as a function of the relative elastic moduli, relative densities, and relative composition of the components, as well as of the magnitude of the perturbing forces. It is shown that this model can explain the behavior of the observed Raman‐active low‐frequency bands associated with this mode in polyethylene and in isotactic polypropylene.
Rayleigh‐Brillouin light‐scattering studies on atactic polystrene47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322453View Description Hide Description
Rayleigh‐Brillouin light‐scattering studies have been carried out on atactic polystyrene thermally polmerized under vacuum from scrupulously clean styrene monomer. The ratio of the central Rayleigh intensity I R to the total Brillouin intensity 2I B appears to be a function of T −1. Depolarization intensities have also been measured and, in particular, we find that ρ H =1 for this polymeric glass. Theoretical predictions for I R /2I B are discussed in light of these results. We conclude that local isotropy due to strain fields frozen into glass is negligible or in low concentration. Annealing studies confirm this result which is in disagreement with our previous results for poly(butyl) methacrylate. In addition, we find that the change in slope of the Brillouin frequency shift ω versus absolute temperature T defines a T g 10–12 K below that measured by DSC and that ω (glass) increases with decreasing molecular weight, in agreement with previous results. A study of the relaxation of a few degrees below T g for periods of a month and more does not shift T g (from ω vs T) to lower temperatures for these high‐molecular‐weight polystyrene samples.
Annealing characteristics of ultraoriented high‐density polyethylene47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322454View Description Hide Description
The annealing characteristics of ultraoriented high‐density polyethylene fibers have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis, and tensile testing. The melting point of unannealed fibers was estimated to be 130 °C using a 10 °C min −1 heating rate. Fiber annealing between 126 and 132 °C split the melting endotherm into two peak melting at 132 and 139 °C. The weight fraction of fiber which had reorganized to the lower melting point increased with annealing time, finally attaining a constant value. However, annealing of laterally constrained fibers below 136 °C did not result in structural changes as detected by calorimetry. Melting‐point variations with heating rates≳0.625 °C min−1 indicated the equilibrium melting point of the unconstrained fiber at zero heating rate as 138 °C, while a similarly extrapolated value using heating rates <0.625 °C was ∼132 °C. The linear expansion coefficients rapidly increased near 132 °C and were attributed to the structural reorganization detected by calorimetry. Fiber annealing markedly decreased the tensile modulus from 50 GPa towards the 1 GPa observed for the unoriented polyethylene. The annealing behavior was consistent with the thermal instability associated with the anisotropy of the surface free energies of the ultraoriented crystalline fibers as well as sources of melting‐point reduction such as defects.
Application of the Dugdale model to crazing and fracture in rubber‐modified polystyrene47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322455View Description Hide Description
The fracture toughness of impact (rubber‐modified) polystyrene can be more adequately described by a strain criterion than by a stress criterion, such as K IC. Recent work from other laboratories has resulted in several theories which relate plastic‐zone length (craze length), applied stress, and crack‐opening displacement for edge‐notched finite‐width strips pulled in tension. Experimental data on impact polystyrene show that a solution of the problem due to Ashbaugh gives the best representation of crack‐opening displacement as a function of craze length, but with a significant deviation from experiment even so. Within experimental error, fracture initiation occurs at a constant crack‐opening displacement. The applied stress required to generate a given craze length is higher than predicted by the Asbaugh theory for rotatable grips.
Point defects in fully conjugated polymers47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322429View Description Hide Description
Formation thermodynamics is examined for two different types of point defects which interrupt conjugation in polydiacetylene crystals: bond‐alternation and orbital‐flip defects. While bond‐alternation defects in these polymers are analogous to previously investigated radical pair defects in the polyenes, much lower equilibrium concentrations are expected in the polydiacetylenes than in the polyenes. For polydiacetylenes with small substituent groups or high‐energy side‐group packing, orbital‐flip defects provide a more plausible rationale for explaining observed thermochromism and carrier trapping effects in photoconductivity. During the formation of this type of defect, a π orbital at each of the two neighboring s p 2carbon atoms is rotated by 90°, so that the rotated π orbitals become conjugated with the out‐of‐plane orbitals neighboring s pcarbon atoms. Thereby the system of overlapping π orbitals is interrupted without substantially decreasing the electronic stabilization energy. With an intramolecular strain energy increase of only about 2.6 kcal/mole, the polymer chain can return to lattice register within one monomer unit of the defect center. Since the electronic stabilization energy change is even smaller (about 0.2 kcal/mole), the major contribution to defectformation energy arises from the side‐group rotations.
Analysis of circular craze47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322430View Description Hide Description
The analysis of the displacement and stress fields in the neighborhood of a circular craze has been made possible by considering a simple membrane model on an elastic foundation. In a simple tension field, with proper boundary conditions, solution to the governing differential equation is obtained and results are presented for an exponential modulus function of the radius of the craze.
Epitaxial crystallization of polyoxymethylene47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322431View Description Hide Description
Epitaxialgrowth of synthetic polymers on alkali‐halide surfaces usually proceeds along the preferred 〈110〉 directions parallel to the {100} plane of the substrate. Polyoxymethylene was epitaxially crystallized as thin films on alkali halides and analyzed using the electron microscope. The metastable orthorhombic crystal form was obtained on substrates which exhibited a lattice match with the [100] distance of the orthorhombic form. Matching was not necessary for the growth of the normal hexagonal crystal form, although it did affect both the nucleation process and the growth rate of the epitaxialcrystallization. The technique seems to be quite generally applicale in affecting the general morphology of the crystallization and the formation of metastable polymeric forms.
Hydrogen bonding in polyamides47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322432View Description Hide Description
An infrared thermal analysis technique was used to measure the enthalpy of dissociation of hydrogen bonds in various polyamides and to test the influence of the type of nylon, annealing time, and moisture content on the strength of hydrogen bonding. Nearly all of the NH groups were found to be hydrogen bonded at room temperature for every nylon tested. Enthalpies of dissociation ranged from about 8–12 kcal/mole. Tensile tests were also performed to determine the effects of the same variables on Young's modulus of the polyamides. The results show that while the enthalpy of dissociation of the hydrogen bonds was not significantly changed by the type of nylon or any of the tested variables, the modulus was strongly affected by several of the treatments. Since factors which do not affect the strength of hydrogen bonding do have a large effect on the modulus and failure mode, it may be inferred that hydrogen bonding does not play a primary role in determining the mechanical properties of polyamides.
Dislocation velocities and electronic doping in silicon47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322433View Description Hide Description
Measurements of velocities of dislocations in silicon as a function of temperature and type of electronic impurity doping using Lang x‐ray topography are reported. Doping with n‐ and p‐type impurities results in an increase of the dislocation velocity and a decrease of the activation energy for both screw and 60° dislocations. The double kink nucleation and migration model of Gerk that takes kink motion to be limited by Auger electron‐hole recombination‐generation processes yields a satisfactory description of the experimental results.
Iterative approaches describing atomic diffusion in finite single‐ and two‐phase systems47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322434View Description Hide Description
Iterative solutions are given for planar one‐dimensional atomic diffusion in finite single‐ and two‐phase systems. They are usable for any continuous variation of the interdiffusion coefficient D (C) within each phase, and need not be fitted to special functions such as a power series or an exponential function. Modified integral functions similar to one first proposed by Boltzmann are used along with a conservation criterion to locate the interface position ξ. Computer time for the iterative solutions is about two to three magnitudes shorter than finite‐difference (F‐D) calculations because of the rapid convergence of the integral equations. The accuracy of these approximate forms is considered. Excellent agreement was obtained between F‐D calculations and the iterative approach for semi‐infinite single‐phase systems. Good agreement is also found for two‐phase systems; however, the accuracy varies with the solubility gap size C βα−Cαβ. The best results are obtained for gaps larger than 0.7 which includes most eutectic systems. Calculations of composition profiles which are based upon the maximum solid solubilities for the Cu‐Ag system are within 1% of the F‐D calculations.
An x‐ray study of diffusion in the Cu‐Ag system47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322435View Description Hide Description
The interdiffusion coefficients for both solid phases of the Ag‐Cu system have been determined from x‐ray diffraction and electron microprobe data. Specimens containing 3.2 μm of Ag on a (111) ‐oriented Cu crystal were used for the x‐ray studies, while a 15‐μm deposit of Ag was used for the probe specimens. Composition profiles for each phase were obtained from the x‐ray intensity bands and a new iterative one‐dimensional model was applied to determine the composition‐dependent diffusion coefficients. The average diffusion coefficients for both phases are nearly equal at about 10−10 cm2/sec at 750 °C, the diffusion temperature. Also, the solubility for the Ag‐rich phase is about three times the solubility for the Cu‐rich phase. These conditions result in interface reversal, i.e., the interface first moves into the substrate and later moves toward the free surface.Structural damage resulting from atomic diffusion was found to be much smaller for the Ag‐Cu system than for other single‐phase Cu‐base specimens that have been examined. Both crystal misorientation (tilt) and subgrains are formed as a result of diffusion. The subgrain shape in the plating depends upon the ratio of the thickness to the initial grain size of the plating.
Acoustic characteristics of twinning in indium47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322436View Description Hide Description
With the increased use of acoustic emission as a nondestructive testing tool, it has become extremely important to document and to understand the emissions characteristic of various modes of deformation and fracture. In the present work, results are reported of acoustic emission measurements made during mechanical deformation of indium single crystals. Although the metal indium is of little structural importance, it develops well‐delineated twins with associated acoustic emissions, and therefore affords an excellent medium with which to develop techniques and to generate interpretations which can be applied to structurally important materials. By recording the acoustic emission signals on a video‐tape recorder it was possible to play them back as often as desired and to observe them in slow and stop motion. The experimental results show that a correspondence exists between the duration of the acoustic signal and the volume of twinned material as determined by cinematographic observation of the generation and growth of twin bands. Repetition of some waveform features was demonstrated not to be the result of multiple reflections of the emitted elastic waves from bounding surfaces, but to be related to actual physical events associated with the twinning process. It was also demonstrated that the direction of the stress, tensile, or compressive, induced in the body of the crystal due to twinning, can be determined from the polarity of the elastic wave emitted by the twin as detected by the transducer.
Detection and origins of crystal defects in GaAs/GaAlAs LPE layers47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322437View Description Hide Description
We report the discovery that shallow growth pits develop on the surfaces of GaAs/GaAlAs double‐heterostructure wafers prepared by liquid phase epitaxy where the surfaces are intersected by crystal defects. The growth pits enable nondestructive defect characterization of such wafers to be made by optical microscopy. It is found that pits due to stacking faults are more readily detected than pits due to undissociated dislocations. The results of a search for the origins of the defects in the material are also presented. Characteristic ''star'' patterns develop when the material is etched. TEM observations show that these are due to clusters of crystal defects which originate at inclusions buried in the grownmaterial.
Elastic properties of UO2 at high pressure47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322438View Description Hide Description
The elastic constants of UO2 have been measured as a function of pressure up to 20 kbar (2.0 GPa) at 23 °C. To within experimental uncertainty, the constants are linear functions of pressure, and no pressure‐induced phase transitions occur in this 20‐kbar pressure range. The elastic constant data are used to estimate the various polycrystallineelastic moduli and their pressure dependences, and the zero‐pressure moduli are compared with data from polycrystalline material. Isothermal moduli are calculated from the adiabatic values. The elastic‐constant data are also used to discuss the separation of the ''pure'' volume and temperature contributions to the (isobaric) temperature dependences of the elastic constants as well as to estimate the Grüneisen constant, Debye temperature, and equation of state of this material.
Nucleation and growth of an epitaxial monolayer of Cd on Ge(111): A simultaneous RHEED–molecular‐beam study47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322439View Description Hide Description
The nucleation and growth of an epitaxialmonolayer of Cd on Ge(111) was studied by simultaneously employing RHEED and the mass spectrometric molecular beam (MSMB) technique. The MSMB spectra are discussed in terms of the atomistic rate theory of nucleation and the correlation between structures and spectra is presented. The results suggest that a convention of nucleation rate theory, that growing clusters act as monomer capture centers which increase in capture efficiency with time, does not hold at submonolayer coverages for this system. A model where capture efficiency decreases with cluster size is considered and from this model an estimate of the heat of adsorption and the activation energy for diffusion of monomers is obtained. Independent of the model we find that the nucleation process precedes the epitaxial alignment of clusters.
Current runaway in insulators affected by impact ionization and recombination47(1976); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.322440View Description Hide Description
When impact ionization occurs, current runaway can arise in insulators, due to a regenerative effect between the rate of ionization and the rate of current injection at the cathode. Solving a set of conduction equations analytically, the critial field for current runaway ? r was determined as a function of insulator properties, when the effect of impact ionizations is opposed by recombinations. Current transients were obtained by computer solutions for fields both smaller and larger than the critical field ? r . The current transients can be used to determine the ionization coefficient and the recombination cross section. For fields larger than ? r times to current runaway t r were found to decrease quasiexponentially with increasing field.

If you're like me, and you hate high heels, well, check out Roni Rabin's article: High Heels and Pumps Now, Foot Pain Later. The article describes a study of people over age 66, which found that the women–who had worn heels most of their lives–had a lot of foot pain.
The researchers found that women who had mainly worn supportive footwear like sneakers or athletic shoes in their early years cut their risk of foot pain later by more than half. But…more than 60 percent said that in the past they generally wore high heels, pumps, sandals and slippers. Women who wore those were at the most risk of hindfoot, ankle and Achilles' tendon pain.
This is hardly new news. But the Times now serves old news with a side of patronizing snark:
"I think women need to.. realize that what you're buying could have potential effects on your feet for the rest of your life," said the paper's lead author, Alyssa B. Dufour, a doctoral student in biostatistics at Boston University. "It's important to pay attention to size and width, and not just buy it because it's cute."
Men make much better choices, the study found; fewer than 2% wore bad shoes.
Amazing! Men picked flats every time! But those silly women–they only care about looking cute! I forwarded the link to my fellow Harpies under the subject head: This article fucking irritates me. Sure enough, it irritated them too.
SarahMC: Men are smart enough to choose not to wear high-heels. It's a fact. EYE-ROLL.
PhDork: If only women, who live in a vacuum, were to realize that high heels are probably bad for your feet! When will they LEARN?
Forget the influence of Big Fashion, or the fact that women were often required to wear heels to their office jobs. No, it turns out women wear heels because they're just vain…and dumb.

The NBA Draft is incredibly interesting to compare, especially when you look at the whole picture and each individual that was taken. The pieces shuffle dramatically when mixing and matching the "What if?" possibilities. Fans swear their franchises, and thank their lucky stars for management. They wish that their favorite college star fell one more pick and they are discouraged when they pass up a "guaranteed" star. After looking at the drafts from 1989-2000, it made sense to look at the drafts from 2001-2012 to see how they stacked up to each other.
The format I used in the previous article worked quite well because most of the players had retired or were in the waning years of their career. This draft was much trickier because all of these players are in separate sections of their career. So the key for me was allowing the categories to shape most of my opinions for the older players, but forcing other factors to determine my value for players who have recently entered the league. I changed the "Championships" category to "Bill Simmons Top 50 Assets" because none of these particular players from 2007-2012 have won a championship yet. I also changed the restriction of All-NBA and All-Defensive teams to include players who made the Second or Third team because it reflects a top 15 ranking of the best players chosen by the coaches, a similar style to the All-Star team.
I typically find Player Efficiency Rating to be an excellent measurement of a player's offensive production (it doesn't account for defense) but it was common to find centers and power forwards with bloated numbers, while shooters and defensive stalwarts saw their number dip (to properly look at a three-point shooter, it would be best to check out his eFG percentage). The reason I mention this is because you shouldn't compare some of the members on this list to each other and you shouldn't compare this list to 1989-2000. Players in this era haven't played post-prime, leaving their numbers much higher than a player that played in a few subpar years to finish out his career.

They need more time to prove themselves as they've only played one season in the NBA. Anthony Davis and Bradley Beal had very efficient seasons and showed signs that they will become big-time threats in the NBA, but injuries cut both of their seasons short. Damian Lillard won the Rookie Of The Year award and showed the ability to handle point guard duties while scoring at a high rate. He'll have to improve his defense if he wants to become one of the best guards in the NBA.
If Brandon Roy was still healthy and producing the numbers that he did during his three-year peak, this draft might be ranked a bit higher. Since Roy is hurt, and most likely out of basketball, this draft looks a bit more unimpressive. Rajon Rondo and LaMarcus Aldridge have developed into All-Stars but it is yet to be seen if they will be able to lead their team to the promised land. Rudy Gay was traded because of his contract and was deemed a less important part to a playoff team.
Yao Ming and Amar'e Stoudemire lead this draft with a combined 14 All-Star teams and 10 All-NBA teams. Yao and Stoudemire had separate career paths, with Yao using post moves and proper footwork to do most of his damage while Stoudemire relies heavily on his athleticism and ability to hit his midrange jumper. Tayshaun Prince was an invaluable defender for the Pistons and was one of the key reasons why they were able to capture a championship in 2004.

Note: This is the first installment in an ongoing series that will detail how to build a computer starting with selecting the components and covering everything in between up to installing the operating system (OS) and tweaking the BIOS settings.
Building your own personal computer (PC) can seem overwhelming at first. There are so many components that go into building a PC that just learning what you need to buy can be very confusing. As a result, many first-time builders sometimes overlook buying some parts. This Tech Tip will cover how to select your components, and how to ensure that your components are compatible and will work together. We will start by making a list of the basic components you need for an average gaming or general use PC; you can then refer back to this basic list throughout the series. With this Tech Tip, we will be covering the basics of choosing the items in bold below. Optional components are marked with an asterisk *:
• Chassis/case
• Power supply
• CD drives
• DVD drives
• Floppy Drive*
• Hard Drive(s)
• RAM (random access memory)
• Motherboard
• CPU (central processing unit)
• CPU heat sink/fan
• Thermal paste
• Hard drive cable
• Floppy drive cable*
• CD/DVD drive cable
• Video card (graphics card)*
(optional if your motherboard has onboard graphics)
• Sound card* (optional if your motherboard has onboard sound)
• Monitor (display)
• Input – Keyboard/Mouse
• Speakers*
• Operating system software
Choosing Your Computer Case or Chassis
Choosing your computer case seems pretty straight forward, and it is. There are a few different form factors (the physical size and shape of a device) around that you need to be aware of when case shopping. The first is the newer BTX (Balanced Technology Extended) format cases. While they are not as common, it is important to point out that almost all motherboards are ATX and they will not fit inside a BTX case.
The same goes for the small form factor cases that are designed to sit on a desktop. A simple rule of thumb is if the case is smaller that your motherboard, don't buy it! The vast majority of cases you will find are ATX compatible. ATX has a few different variants basically having to do with the size of the motherboard.
Most all computer case retail boxes will list the type of motherboards it is compatible with right on the computer case packaging. If you are shopping and buying online, the website will certainly list the motherboard compatibility. Be sure the case matches up with your chosen motherboard form factor and you will be fine.
Choosing Your Power Supply
Power supply units (PSU) are one of the main components of your computer that many people put little thought into. It would be a wise move to not simply buy the cheapest PSU you can find. A bad PSU with unstable and fluctuating power output can cause all sorts of problems with your computer, such as damaged components due to a power surge, to crashes and reboots due to power levels falling too low that can wreak havoc on your patience. Because computer components put increasing demands on the case power supply, manufacturers are working to bring more powerful and efficient power supplies to the consumer that feature the new ATX12V 2.2/ EPS12V power supply standard, which you can find in power supplies such as the Antec NeoHE 500-Watt 24-pin Power Supply.
PSUs that are included with computer cases are notorious for being cheaply made. The PSU is one component where you certainly get what you pay for. While you don't necessarily have to buy a $500.00 Pc Power & Cooling unit, a few extra dollars are wisely invested in a unit such as the ASYS 650-Watt Dual Fan ATX Power Supply. Geeks.com has a great selection of power supplies that are kind to your budget.
If you are a hardcore gamer looking to get into SLI (NVidia Scalable Link Interface) or Crossfire (ATI Technology) setups, you will want to buy a PSU that has two PCI-E power connectors and is SLI-ready if you're going the SLI route. Ensure that it has enough Wattage to power two of your cards as well as the other components inside your system. For more information on power requirements of SLI, check out Nvidia's SLI Zone. For more information on ATI Crossfire gaming, check out the ATI site.
Choosing Compact Disk/Digital Video Drives
Choosing a CD/DVD drive is a bit easier than choosing some of the other main components of your computer system. Short of the speed at which the drives can burn disks, most drives are similar. There are some DVD/CD drives out that use SATA ports like a newer hard drive rather than the IDE channels from your motherboard. You can choose either style, so long as your motherboard supports SATA. You can even go with an external drive if you so desire.
Most drives you find will be the standard IDE type. DVD burners are quickly becoming the drive of choice for computers. The newer dual-layer DVD drives will allow you to store more data per disk for your back-ups. The new Blu-Ray drives are also available, but at an exorbitant price typically over $1,000.00. Your typical DVD burner will run you well under $100. Keep an eye out for media compatibility, availability, and burn speed. Go with the fastest drive that fits in your budget and you will be happy. A DVD drive is recommended over a simple CD drive as more games and software are shipping on DVD media.
Floppy Drive
The floppy drive is the first of the optional components of your computer system. As DVD drives take over, many newer computers from the big manufacturers such as Dell and HP no longer ship with floppy drives. With files getting ever bigger, the floppy drive just doesn't have enough capacity any more.
However, if you go without a floppy drive, keep in mind that you may find yourself at some point needing one to load a driver if you plan to use an older operating system like Windows 98 or 98 SE. Depending on your motherboard, you might need a floppy drive to easily install drivers for your SATA RAID or drives during the Windows install at the F6 prompt. We will cover this in more detail in a later installment of this series. If you are not sure you will need a floppy drive, just pick one up to be safe. Floppy drives are readily available for under $20.00, and Geeks.com still carries a fairly good selection of floppy drives.
Conclusion of Part One
There are just too many components and too much information to cover the basics of what you need to know when building your own PC and shopping for components in one installment. In Part 2 of this series on how to build a computer system, we will pick up at choosing the right hard drive for your computer. If you still find you can't decide on what components to choose for your system, call the Geeks.com sales team for assistance. Trust me - it's far better to ask than it is to buy the wrong component; it's quite common for components to be non-returnable once opened.

I've recently been working on a personal writing project that involves a number of female characters of a rather advanced age. To inspire myself, I've been plunging into a few books in which old ladies figure prominently, in order to see how one goes about writing about them. Old ladies may seem like a little bit bland, as far as subjects go, but I've found they can be really instructive, interesting characters, with lots of good stuff hidden away if you know where to look. And, of course, there's nothing like going to the masters to see how it's done.
It's struck me that some authors are very good at writing about old age, while others are really good at doing children. Think of how pitch-perfect Briony is in the first part of Ian McEwan's Atonement, as the little girl who sees things and interprets them in her fantasizing, childish mind. The scenes in which Briony interacts with her cousins, the flirty Lola and the twins Pierrot and Jackson, are particularly sharp and witty. A writer who consistently inserts children, usually little girls, in her stories is Elizabeth Bowen. There's nothing adorable, or even vaguely witty, about her children however; they're usually eerily quite and observant, and lie on the fringe of the action. With their budding, confused reactions to the world around them, they serve as foils of innocence to the adult characters and their deceits and manipulations.
As for the writers who are good at depicting old age, Alice Munro comes to mind, probably because she's become a charming old lady herself. Another one is Margaret Atwood, whose careful descriptions of the narrator's failing, aging body in The Blind Assassin feel so painfully real. The main advantage of writing about an older character is having all these layers to access, because the character has lived through so much. The writer can then delve into the past, these memories and experiences, peeling away the layers in order to reveal meaning. The Blind Assassin, with its layered, russian-doll style storytelling, works in exactly that way. Another book I love about an aging woman is Love, Again by Doris Lessing, which tells the story of a widow in her sixties who falls in love (and the deep, sensual stirrings that involves) all over again. It's a very beautiful, intense book, which depicts the emotional strain of infatuation and longing vividly, although the story fell away a bit at the end. Lessing is, of course, a fascinating old lady herself, unassuming and frank to the point of bluntness. You've only got to see this video of her being told she's just won the Nobel Prize for literature, in 2008, to see just how charmingly honest she can be. "One can only get as excited as one can get."
One of the old lady novels I read recently is a British classic: Memento Mori, but Muriel Spark. The novel begins most wonderfully with a group of elderly people in London receiving mysterious phone calls. "Remember you must die," says the voice, and then hangs up. It doesn't take much else to get the elders fussing and plotting, blackmailing each other and toying with their testaments. What makes the novel interesting is how they all remember or find out about old secrets that had better remain in their dusty cupboards. The novel's action revolves around the phone calls themselves, but all the reading pleasure comes out of this gossip passed over and picked at by all the characters. Memento Mori provides a fast-paced, hilarious read, full of insane characters that come to life on the page in all their flawed glory. There are no mild, sweet old ladies letting themselves quietly crumble away here. These women are fighters: "Being over seventy," one of them remarks, "is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as one a battlefield."
The second book I turned to was Reading in Bed, by Sue Gee, which isn't really about old women so much as about older women — bright, modern, well-read professionals somewhere in that healthy, comfortable place between middle and old age. Except lots of not so good things are happening to Georgia and Dido, the two friends at the center of the book. One copes with the death of a husband, her narcissistic 20 year old daughter, and a demented old relative out in Sussex; the other with possibly fatal health problems, a husband showing dangerous signs of infidelity, and a daughter in law who refuses to fit in with her "perfect" family. Lots of drama here. So much drama you never really get attached to the characters because so many terrible, moral-quaking things are being thrown at them from all sides. Sue Gee's prose could saved the book from being disappointing — it's loud and full of voice, the narrator oddly present and carefully colloquial — except the intrusions become a little bit annoying halfway through, as if the narrator is constantly trying to convince the reader to sympathize for the characters by constantly pitying them. Poor Georgia. Poor Dido. All in all, I think the whole thing didn't hold together properly because it sounded too soft and desperate. In the end, the story blew away rather uninterestedly. Just like so many things in real life, actually — except novel can't be too much like real life, or else they wouldn't be interesting.

People of Milton deserve the truth
None of the three council members cited "parking" as reason they voted to purchase 112 Federal St. Invest in downtown, annex Town Hall, rent to the chamber or rent to the arts guild were the reasons. "We can't afford it and it will just eliminate roughly a quarter to a third of whatever cushion we have," were reasons not to purchase the property for Councilman Cote, as stated at the November council meeting minutes.
All of a sudden parking is first and foremost for Councilman Collier.
Mayor Jones now states "Erroneously, it's been noted that we bought a house." That's not what she cited in November.
Councilman Cote now says the town can afford the property. The word afford has many meanings. Just because one has the money for something it doesn't mean they can "afford" it. I'd like to remind council that water department money cannot be used for this purpose and there isn't enough in transfer taxes for this purchase.
Vice Mayor Booros said the home can sit vacant for the time being. Might I remind him of the "vacant building" ordinance town is trying to pass.
Council had an out during the December vote knowing the house couldn't be razed, but voted to purchase it anyway. Why?
Lack of transparency is one thing, but blatantly lying to the town's people is another. What is the truth; why did you purchase this property?
I ask that the town release the minutes of the executive session where 112 Federal St. was discussed. The people of Milton deserve the truth.

Arsenal striker set for medical as Man United deal moves closer
07:37 16 August 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Transfer news: Robin van Persie will sign for Red Devils within 24 hours
Manchester United hope to conclude the transfer of Robin van Persie from Arsenal tomorrow after confirming they had agreed a fee with the Gunners for last season's Golden Boot winner.
One of this summer's long-running transfer sagas is now reaching its conclusion, with van Persie set to undergo part of his medical today before tying up the loose ends of his switch to Old Trafford in 24 hours time.
Van Persie's arrival, which could cost United anything between £15million and £24million depending upon who you listen to, is a major coup for Sir Alex Ferguson.
The 29-year-old Dutchman, who missed his country's defeat to Belgium last night, had been coveted by Manchester City, whose manager Roberto Mancini spoke in glowing terms about him last week.
It has been suggested van Persie will sign a four-year contract with the Red Devils, becoming their most significant signing since the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham for a club record £30.75million in 2008.
Providing there are no unforeseen hitches, van Persie will go straight into Ferguson's squad for Monday's Premier League opener at Everton.
"Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Arsenal Football Club for the transfer of Robin van Persie," said a club statement.
"The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms. A further announcement will be made in due course."
The transfer comes at a time when further questions are being raised about the finances available to Sir Alex Ferguson.
It doesn't come without risk either given Van Persie's patchy injury record.
His 48 games last season was by far the most during his time at Arsenal.
In only three of his other seven seasons has he featured on more than 35 occasions.
Ferguson will presumably believe he has the resources that will ensure not too much is demanded of van Persie, especially as Danny Welbeck is believed to be on the brink of agreeing a new contract.
And United fans, who over the last few years have become used to seeing all the star names head to Manchester City, will certainly be thrilled by the potential of Wayne Rooney partnering someone who caused such damage to top flight defences, scoring 30 times in an overall tally of 37 last term, despite Arsenal's obvious inconsistencies.

Forgive me, I assume this will be a trivial answer, but I've been searching and searching and would rather look like a novice than waste anymore time... I've written a web interface for administrating Zimbra users, and cannot figure out what SOAP function would best suit my needs for a quick "view mail" function. I'm using DelegateAuth to get the auth token for my user, thats all working properly.
At this point, what would be the best function to get the following info from a users mailstore:
'message id', 'message subject', 'message size'.
I've looked through the soap and soap-admin docs, and cannot figure out what I need.
I feel like the function should be called GetMessagesRequest, but that function doesn't exist. It is _probably_ availble thru SearchRequest, but that can't be the proper way of doing things can it?
Thanks ahead of time!

A former high school track coach is back in the Pitt County jail after authorities say he violated his probation.
Derek Phelps of Greenville was arrested today by Pitt County deputies after they say he had and was using a Facebook page.
The 24-year-old was a cross country coach at D.H. Conley High School and was arrested last year for communicating with a 13-year-old boy via text messages. He was convicted on two counts of misdemeanor sexual battery and served a 60-day sentence in the county jail. Phelps was also required to register as a sex offender.
He was charged today with the felony crime of a sex offender using a social website and his bond was set at $10,000.

I finished the final book in the series, Breaking Dawn, on Sunday night. I read for nine solid hours, only taking small breaks for laundry and other duties. I am so glad to have read them and I love the core of the story, such a sucker for love, I suppose. Now, I have to wait until the movie comes out on video since I didn't have the chance to see it while it was still in theaters. Becky and I are going to have a girls movie night, and will be swooning over Edward the whole time. LOL

The bookmarks are super cute! I bet she will love them. I'm having issues finding the books as well, but when I mentioned buying them I was told to "hold off" so I bet they are already bought and waiting for me on my birthday. I loved the first book and can't wait to find out what happens next.

Pharmaceutical major Wockhardt Ltd saw its shares sink on Monday after the UK health regulator withdrew the good manufacturing practices certificate issued to the companys Chikalthana manufacturing facility in Aurangabad.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (UKMHRA) will now issue a restricted GMP certificate to the facility, which means the unit will be allowed to produce only certain critical drugs to avoid a shortfall in the UK.
The impact of the same on existing business will only be known once the company receives further communication from UKMHRA. The said facility contributes approximately £12 million (Rs 117 crore at current exchange rate) from the UK and EU markets to the consolidated annual revenues of the company, said Wockhardt in a filing to the exchange, adding that the scope of the statement is limited to medicinal products considered non-critical to public health.
Wockhardt Chikalthana facility contributed $230 million (Rs 1,408 crore at current exchange rate) to total revenue in FY13 the largest revenue generating facility in the companys manufacturing portfolio.
Wockhardt shares closed down 5% at Rs 499.30 on the BSE.
A UKMHRA spokesperson told FE via email that the agency issued a statement of non-compliance against Chikalthana after recent inspections identified a number of manufacturing deficiencies.
We are still assessing them (the manufacturing deficiencies) and we are not in a position to discuss them publicly as our investigation ongoing. We are currently assessing what medicines are affected and how this impacts patients in the UK, the spokesperson said.
Although the products have not been manufactured in line with the GMP requirements, there is no evidence of a safety risk to patients. We are working with the department of health to ensure that people have access to the medicines they need, the spokesperson added.
The Chikalthana facility Wockhardts oldest manufacturing plant is spread over about 6 acres and is approved to produce APIs and formulations. The facility produces generic version of the blockbuster cardiac drug Toprol-XL which contributed to 12% of the companys sales in the fourth quarter, according to the transcript of a conference call with analysts.
This is the second time Wockhardt has seen adverse action from the UK regulator. In July, the UKMHRA initiated a precautionary recall of 16 prescription medicines owing to manufacturing deficiencies identified at Wockhardts Waluj site.
The recall had followed an inspection in March which noted poor cleaning practices and defects in building ventilation

Mindful Medical Care is bringing a new kind of integrative and holistic medical practice to Knoxville. We are committed to taking the time to treat the whole person, paying attention to physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of healing. We empower patients to become advocates for their own best health care, offering assistance as necessary in their own personal process.
Mindful Medical Care does not accept insurance as payment for our services. We accept cash, check or credit card as payment at the time of your visit.
Philosophy of Care:
- We believe in taking an integrative and holistic approach to health. We provide health care focused on healing and wellness that takes into account the whole person (physical, psychological and spiritual) to identify and treat root causes of disease and not just work with symptoms. We make use of both conventional and alternative therapies for which there is good evidence of safety and efficacy.
- We believe that the best medical care comes from a patient-centered, rather than disease- focused, approach to understanding health and disease.
- We believe that given enough accurate information and supportive counseling, a patient can make the best choices about their own health care treatments. Dr. Lucas strives to research options thoroughly and communicate clearly to inform her patients' decisions.
- This integrative approach to health care requires spending more time with patients. At Mindful Medical Care we decide the length of visits based on the needs of individual patients, not based on the standard 10 minute visit reimbursed by insurance. The average follow-up visit for our patients is 30 minutes.

Goth Rock Girls
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Lots of people are into the "bad-girl" look you'll find on Goth Rock Girls, with their tattoos, piercings and torn fishnet stockings. On the site, these babes enjoy sexy lesbian loving and one lone babe gets herself some dick.
The only difference between the scenes is whether or not it's two or more sexy girls doing it. A few use toys, while others just use their fingers and tongues to get each other off.
There isn't a model index, but I did recognize one pretty readhead. Actually, I recognized the pistol tattoo that points toward her poon. Yes, it's Miss Scarlett Pain in all of her inked-up, fiery glory. Savannah Stern and Nikki Rhodes also helped to rock my world.
The 26 videos can be downloaded in Windows Media files, save for the last hardcore girl/guy movie, which is offered in QuickTime. All the flicks are advertised as high-def, but guess what? They're not in HD. But they still give you good or even great-quality footage of these alt hotties diving into each other's beavers, sucking on big, soft titties and toying each other to orgasm.
If you prefer to load all of these porn scenes onto your mobile device along with your tunes by The Cure, Marilyn Manson and PJ Harvey, then you can do so with the iPod and iPhone-compatible MP4 files. Clips are also available if you want to download smaller files. The scenes last around 18 minutes and have high production values.
There were no images to be found on our last visit, but today I found 15 sets of vid caps. And they look pretty clear too. The only thing I would have changed is that they open up one by one when I click on them and I have to keep going back to the gallery page to open the next one. A slideshow would be greatly appreciated.
The exclusive footage has a professional feel as far as camerawork and lighting. Moreover, the performers seem to really enjoy themselves. The scenes bring into focus all the pierced nipples, bellybutton rings, black studded latex underwear, wet pussy mounds and stretched-open assholes.
The main issue is that the site doesn't appear to be updating anymore. They do, however, give you access to 11 video feeds from Vivid Extreme that showcase rebellious coeds, rough sex, threesomes, deep-throat blowjobs and stockings.
I really liked what I saw on Goth Rock Girls, but I want to see more of it. If they could find more alternative-looking sweethearts to showcase their lesbo skills, I'd be thrilled! The way it stands now, though, you're really not getting enough content for your money.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Jeff Conaway, the actor made famous by his roles in Grease and Taxi, has passed away at the age of 60.
Conaway was rushed to the hospital earlier this week and it was announced that he had fallen into a coma. There were rumors that it was due to an overdose on prescription painkillers, an addiction he has struggled with for decades.
He was on Celebrity Rehab and that struggle was chronicled, as well as his complicated relationship with his ex-gf. There was a lot of drama as he fought his treatment, left and came back. Half the time he couldn't even be understood, and several times he had seizures or other serious health problems during filming.
But despite this, Dr. Drew insists that it was not an overdose that killed him. He says it was his heart finally giving out after years of pill abuse that put severe stress on his body.
I can believe that. But was he actually sober when he died? His heart might have been weak and finally died off, but if he was still popping pills at the time I can only imagine it helped the process along. The man was in a coma when he passed, after all.
Whatever happened, it is all very sad. RIP Jeff.

I've just got hold of a Carnielli folding tandem:
From what I can gather they were originally sold with a 3 speed hub gear/brake. Mine has been upgraded to a 5 speed hub (though with a nasty pastic changer which has just broken).
Does anyone have nay further information about these? I'd particularly like to see any original marketing materials etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.
