LOS ANGELES Earlier this month, high-rise condo building Evo opened downtown, offering a variety of event spaces. Part of the South Park neighborhood complex, the building is a 24-story tower of sculpted glass and metal that was made with environmentally responsible construction techniques, incorporating sustainable materials. Event space at Evo is available for residents as well as non-residents.
A rooftop lounge dubbed Two-Forty has 900 square feet of indoor space and 700 square feet of outdoor space featuring views of the city, lounge seating, and a fireplace. The sixth floor of the building features a 10,000-square-foot pool and deck with an outdoor kitchen and bar. An adjacent park area features more than 6,000 feet of landscaped gardens.
Later this year, Evo plans to open Corkbar, a wine bar with an 800-square-foot patio, and Hygge, a pan-European restaurant with 240 seats. Corkbar will be on the ground floor of Evo, and Hygge will be on the ground floor of an adjacent building in the neighborhood.

- "Once I've made enough money trading with the Khajiit caravans, I'm going to buy The Bannered Mare from Hulda."
- ―Ysolda[src]
Ysolda is a Nord found in Whiterun, usually near Dragonsreach and the marketplace. She will become a marriage candidate for the Dragonborn after they complete her quest.
Ysolda comes across as a bargain hunter and keen tradeswoman, yet her personality seems quite friendly, if a bit nosy. Most of her interactions with other characters are friendly, while at other times she will exchange a few hostile words.
Rare GiftsEdit
Ysolda asks the Dragonborn to find her a Mammoth Tusk, which she needs to give to a Khajiit caravaneer. Doing so will increase Speech. However, if the Dragonborn's Speech level is already 100, the quest can be completed but with no real reward. Though the tusk is supposed to be given to a khajiit caravaneer, she does not appear to ever relinquish it, and it can be reacquired later in the game. A stolen tusk—such as one from Jorrvaskr—may be given to her, and she will still accept it.
A Night to RememberEdit
Ysolda can be involved in the quest "A Night to Remember," and is one of the possible characters that gives the Dragonborn the wedding ring. This can still occur if the Dragonborn is married to her, and she does not have any problem letting the Dragonborn borrow her wedding ring for someone else. Due to Radiant A.I. this will not always be the case. After completing the quest, it may be difficult to find Ysolda. She will usually turn up at the Temple of Mara in Riften if the Dragonborn continues searching.
Rescue MissionEdit
Ysolda can also be involved in the Companions quest "Rescue Mission," and is one of the possible characters that the Dragonborn must rescue.
Ysolda's ShipmentEdit
If the Dragonborn travels to Sleeping Tree Camp and enters Sleeping Tree Cave, a dead Orc will have a note from Ysolda about Sleeping Tree Sap. Married or not, the Dragonborn can confront her about it. In return, she will offer 150 for every bottle brought to her, as her previous dealer is dead. The tree can be harvested for the sap, but it cannot be sold to anyone apart from Ysolda, Khajiit Caravans traders and some other merchants.
- Goes home to sleep at 12 AM.
- Wakes up at 8 AM.
- Browses the market from 9 AM to 3 PM.
- Walks around Whiterun, particularly up to Dragonsreach and around the Plains District, from 4 PM – 8 PM.
- Visits The Bannered Mare from 9 PM to 12 AM.
Down on luckEdit
Brenuin: "Spare a coin for a fellow Nord who's down on his luck?
Ysolda: "So you can spend it on drinks at the Bannered Mare? If it's food you need, ask for that instead."
Brenuin: "Never you mind, then. I'll find a more charitable soul."
Ysolda: "That's what I thought."
Apple pricesEdit
Ysolda: "Those green apples you sold me the other day were delicious."
Carlotta: "Aren't they? I always set some aside for myself when the traders bring them up from the south."
Ysolda: "I'm sure you could charge double for those and still sell them all within a week."
Carlotta: "You're right. I'll have to remember that the next time I get a shipment in."
Buying foodEdit
Nazeem: "Ah, Ysolda was it? What brings you to the market?"
Ysolda: "I'm here to buy food, Nazeem. I suppose you don't need to worry about that."
Nazeem: "Owning a farm does have its advantages."
Venison stewEdit
Ysolda: "I've got a recipe for venison stew that I want to try out. Will you have venison anytime soon?"
Anoriath: "Certainly. I'll be sure to bring some back for you the next time I go hunting."
Olfina's occupationEdit
Ysolda: "Are you still working at the Bannered Mare in the evenings, Olfina?"
Olfina: "And why shouldn't I? Just because I'm a Gray-Mane doesn't mean I can't earn my own keep."
Ysolda: "I didn't mean... I'm sorry I asked."
Eorlund's tradeEdit
Ysolda: "Fralia, do you ever deal with the Khajiit at all? I'm sure they would love to trade in your husband's steel."
Fralia: "Plenty of people here that need Eorlund's craftsmanship, my dear. We've never had any reason to deal with those caravans of theirs."
- "Once I've made enough money trading with the Khajiit caravans, I'm going to buy The Bannered Mare from Hulda."
- "I spend a lot of time at the market stalls so I can learn the merchant's trade. I need more experience if I'm going to run an inn someday."
- "They say there's nothing a Nord woman can't do if she puts her mind to it."
- "We Nords are strong, and we're as tough as stone. But I'll bet you didn't know there's some of us with a good head for business, too."
- "There's some company I certainly prefer over others. Have you met Mikael? The most amazing bard I've ever heard."
- Ysolda can take over different shops if their owner dies. If more than one owner dies, she will not appear in all of them at the same time.
- She says that she wishes to buy The Bannered Mare from Hulda, and if Hulda is killed, Ysolda takes over as landlady.
- If Anoriath dies, she will sometimes tend to his market stall, though her dialogue will not change and she will not have anything for sale. She does not seem to have a set work schedule like the other merchants; she leaves the stall and continues to wander Whiterun.
- If Belethor dies, she will also take over his shop.
- If the Dragonborn chooses to marry Ysolda, a Khajiit caravan will attend her wedding if the quest "Ysolda's Shipment" is complete. This is a very rare chance to see multiple Khajiit NPCs inside the walls of a city, and the Khajiit merchant can be traded with.
- Occasionally, Ysolda can be seen holding a basket of flowers. She is one of the few characters known to do this.
- She is a narcotics dealer who deals in Sleeping Tree Sap.
- Ysolda, under the influence Dead Thrall, escapes instead of fighting.
- If the Dragonborn marries her prior to "A Night to Remember," she will still have the dialogue for the quest and talk as though she and the Dragonborn were never married.
- She was voiced by Corri English.
- If Mikael is killed, Ysolda's disposition toward the the Dragonborn will decrease, and she will make statements supporting this, such as that her blood boils every time she sees them.
- Ysolda's name is referenced in Final Thoughts. However, they are unlikely to be the same person.
- Ysolda is not always essential. Upon first entry into Whiterun, she is actually killable because she is not yet involved in any quests. If she is killed, her remains will be placed in the Hall of the Dead.confirmation needed
This section contains bugs related to Ysolda. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- PC 360 PS3 If married, a bug might occur where the Dragonborn will find themselves unable to sleep or wait in her house. Lover's comfort can still obtained by renting a room in the Bannered Mare while she is in it.
- PC 360 PS3 If Hulda dies and Ysolda takes her place at The Bannered Mare, she will still speak about buying the inn. Ysolda will also not gain the speech dialogue to sell items once she owns The Bannered Mare.
- This will also leave the quest "The Whispering Door" unable to be started, as she cannot be asked about rumors.
- PC 360 PS3 If Ysolda takes over The Bannered Mare, The Dragonborn can say that they would like to rent a room. In spite of renting the room and taking 10 , the room will not be theirs. This bug does not happen every time and the circumstances for it to happen are unknown.
- PC 360 PS3 Similar to The Bannered Mare bug, if Belethor dies and she inherits Belethor's General Goods, she cannot be traded with.
- PC 360 PS3 She may stop cooking meals for her Dragonborn spouse after about seven times.
- PC 360 PS3 As a female Dragonborn, talking to her about a wedding ring for the quest "A Night to Remember," she will refer to the Dragonborn as if she is male. In other words, her dialogue does not alter if one is a female.
- PC 360 If a mammoth tusk is found before accepting her quest to find one, it may not come up at all. This can be fixed by dropping the tusk and picking it up again.
- PC 360 PS3 If she is married and moved to a house outside Whiterun before starting the quest "Battle for Whiterun," she will still appear in the streets running to Dragonsreach.
- PC PS3 If told to move to a certain house, Ysolda may disappear instead of showing up.
- This can be fixed if the Dragonborn is at a point in a quest that involves Ysolda, resulting in a quest marker for her on the map wherever she is.
- Sometimes, her quest to find a mammoth tusk may not appear at all.
- PC After giving Ysolda the wedding ring and finishing the quest "A Night to Remember," she may continue to walk towards the Dragonborn and initiate a conversation when they are close enough to her, despite having completed the quest. If this happens, she will permanently stay by the well in the plains district, ignoring her normal daily routine.
- Leading her to a building and going inside while she is talking to the Dragonborn may trap her inside of it, because she will not walk back out with them. Leading her into her own house has a chance of fixing this bug.

Yes, that Kenyon walk is gorgeous!
I was happy to see my alma mater, UC Santa Cruz on there as well — it's hard to beat walking to class through redwoods and meadows and ending up with a view of the Pacific Ocean! Although our view of the Green Mountains is pretty great, too 🙂

Since I was at the grocery store this weekend and noticed they had spiral cut hams on sale for .99 a pound I decided to try the double smoke method. Put mustard and Jeff's rub on the outside and then put the rub between slices for the first 3 slices or so, not knowing if my kids would like it. Then put the ham into the smoker at 10am and set it for about 200 degrees with one channel of the pellet smoker full of apple pellets.
About noon it was only up to 58 degrees.
About 3 it was at 80 degrees so upped the smoker to 225. The smoke ran out around 2:00 or 3:00, so figured that was enough smoke.
At 5 it was at 130 and figured that was enough. I didn't want to put the sugar glaze on it this time so left it naked and fed the family.
Quite simply the best ham I've ever had. The slices with the rub in between were a little too salty but when paired with a slice without the rub in the same bite, it was AWESOME!
Gotta try it again when they're on sale.

NEW DELHI: Water levels in India's main reservoirs were at 57 per cent of capacity in the week to Aug 23, down 12 percentage points from a year ago, reflecting this year's weak monsoon, government data showed on Friday.
The latest level was equal to the 10-year average for the week. It was six percentage points higher than the previous week, reflecting improvement in the monsoon since the last week of July.
Reservoirs are primarily important for hydropower, which accounts for a quarter of India's generation capacity, but they are also used during the summer for irrigation if monsoon rains are not enough for planting crops such as cotton.
The reservoirs provide water later in the year to irrigate winter crops such as wheat and rapeseed.

Updated from 10:06 a.m. ET to include CEO interview, share prices
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Platform Specialty Products (PAH), a specialty chemical company that was born from a special purpose acquisition vehicle founded by Jarden (JAH) chairman Martin Franklin, said on Thursday it will buy Chemtura AgroSolutions from Chemtura (CHMT) for $1 billion in cash and stock.
Ackman Backed Venture Lists On NYSE After MacDermid Deal
The deal marks Platform's second major acquisition in the past twelve months and its first since listing on the New York Stock Exchange in January, and further accomplishes a strategy of scaling in the specialty chemicals space through the acquisition of companies that don't require large capital investments or external management.
"We've only just begun," Daniel H. Leever, Platform's CEO, said of the firm's dealmaking in a telephone interview with TheStreet on Thursday. "We have a robust pipeline of deals, some of which could conceivably close before this one," Leever added, noting that Platform is looking at bolt-on acquisitions, and divestitures by private equity firms or large corporations. Leever also noted that Platform has interest in full public company acquisitions, however, he said no such deal is imminent.
Platform initially was a London-listed special purpose acquisition vehicle (SPAC) until the company acquired chemical industry specialist MacDermid for $1.8 billion October and listed on the NYSE this year.
In January, Platform began courting its next deal, and CEO Leever identified Chemtura AgroSolutions as a prospect. Chemtura had said it was running an auction process for the business. Platform was not part of Chemtura's auction and instead entered discussions directly with the company on what eventually was the winning bid.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to compare several analgesics given in approved daily doses in combination with a daily cardioprotective dose of aspirin (81 mg), to study their bleeding properties and their effects on the stomach in healthy volunteers.
|Drug: aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, rofecoxib
|Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Effect of Analgesics on the Irreversible Inactivation of Cyclooxygenase-1 Activity by Low Dose Aspirin and Endoscopic Evaluation of the Gastric Mucosal Effect
Resource links provided by NLM:
Drug Information available for: AspirinU.S. FDA Resources
Further study details as provided by Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Personal Products Worldwide:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Percent arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation; Lanza Mucosal Injury Score of the stomach
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Serum thromboxane B2; plasma PGE2; shear-induced platlet aggregation; cyclooxygenase activity in stomach mucosal biopsies as assessed by PGE2 content
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2004
The purpose of this randomized, multiple-dose, single-blind, parallel-group study is to examine in healthy volunteers the effects of analgesics given in approved daily doses in addition to daily cardio-protective doses of aspirin (81 mg) on the stomach. All subjects are examined endoscopically before receiving study medication, and at the end of treatment on Day 9. Each subject takes 81 mg of aspirin daily plus one of the following treatments to be taken daily on Days 1 through 8: four doses of acetaminophen 1000 mg, three doses of ibuprofen 400 mg, two doses of naproxen sodium (440 mg in the morning and 220 mg in the evening), four doses of aspirin 650 mg, two doses of celecoxib 200 mg, one dose of rofecoxib 25 mg, or no additional study medication. On Day 9, one dose of aspirin 81 mg and only one dose of the assigned treatment drug are taken prior to having an endoscopy. The primary endpoints of the study are the effects of the analgesics on the inhibition of COX-1 activity by aspirin, and any injury to the stomach mucosa, as determined by direct endoscopic observation. Safety assessments consist of routine monitoring for adverse events, as well as endoscopic examination of gastric mucosa for erosions and ulcerations occurring during the treatment phase. The study hypothesis is that the effects of acetaminophen on the stomach do not differ from the effects of ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, celecoxib, or rofecoxib. 81 mg aspirin and 1of 7 treatments for 8 days: acetaminophen 1000mg 4xday, ibuprofen 400mg 3xday, naproxen 440mg morning and 220mg evening, no additional study medication, aspirin 650mg 4xday, celecoxib 200mg 2xday,rofecoxib 25mg 1xday. On Day 9, 1 dose aspirin & 1 dose study drug before endoscopy.

Samsung has begun testing mind-controlled tablets and smartphones as the next step toward freeing people from tapping on keyboards or screens. A lot of early research into mind-control has focused on helping the disabled, and the South Korean company's efforts will similarly likely benefit disabled gadget users sooner than the average electronics consumer.
Early experiments have shown how people can use thoughts alone to launch an app, find and select a contact, choose to play songs from favorite playlists and power a tablet up or down, according to a story in MIT Technology Review. Samsung's Emerging Technology Lab teamed up with Roozbeh Jafari, an electrical engineer at the University of Texas at Dallas, to carry out the research on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.
Such achievements sound less impressive when considering that users can only carry out mind-control actions about once every five seconds, and with an accuracy of only 80 to 95 percent. Users must wear a cap covered with electrodes and wires running to each electrode—like an electroencephalograph (EEG), it picks up the patterns in the brain's electrical signals.
The Samsung approach interprets well-known brain activity patterns—ones related to the action of seeing repeating visual patterns—as mind-control commands. Researchers found that users can carry out certain actions on a tablet by mentally focusing on an icon that blinked at certain frequencies.
Similar mind-control technologies relying upon EEG readings have shown up in commercial headsets meant for gaming or high-tech amusements, including the Neurosky Mindset and Emotiv "neuroheadsets." Labs have even experimented with the Emotiv headset for driving cars.
Samsung doesn't expect to put out mobile devices using the technology anytime soon given the imperfect nature of current mind control technology. Kevin Brown, a senior inventor at IBM's emerging technology lab, told BBC News that testers had needed 20 minutes just to send an e-mail with mind control during one IBM experiment. That's a far cry from the 25 words in 83 seconds clocked by a quadriplegic man using a head-tracking system a couple of years ago.
Still, Brown and other researchers expect the current state of mind control technology could end up helping disabled people with conditions that prevent them from effectively using the touch, voice, gesture or eye movement controls commonly found in everyday consumer gadgets.

Tom Cook's Workday Dog Break – Dachshund Dance Routine [Video]
I know some dogs that have a hard enough time mastering the skills of "sit", "stay", "lay down", and "shake. But, those dogs are nothing like our good friend Baxter here.
Baxter the dachshund is a pretty skilled dancer. That's right, I said "dancer".
In this video, he tells us all about his busy summer with his new family – he's chased a lot of bunnies, found himself a little doggy girlfriend named Rizzo who lives nearby, taken a lot of road trips, met a lot of people, and worked on his base tan. Most importantly, though, he took a Beginning Musical Freestyle class, and perfected these sweet dance moves.

Yahoo! users will be mostly mobile in 2014, CEO saysJanuary 22, 2014 in Technology / Business
Struggling Internet giant Yahoo! will see more users accessing its services by mobile in 2014 than classic desktops, chief executive Marissa Mayer said on Wednesday at the Davos World Economic Forum.
"2014 will be the year of the crossover," Mayer said while sitting on a panel regarding the world digital context.
"By the end of this year we will have more mobile users than we have PC traffic. You have to be prepared for that," she said.
In December Yahoo was the most popular online venue visited from US desktop computers and the firm has been under pressure to switch its core of the business to the increasingly crucial world of smartphones.
Mayer has made improving Yahoo's popularity on smartphones and tablets a priority as the faded Internet search pioneer is re-invented.
Mayer, who was poached from Internet rival Google in 2012, has run into road bumps in recent weeks with the surprise exit of two top executives including her second-in-command.
Chief operating officer Henrique de Castro walked away with a $20 million dollar (14.7-billion-euro) stock award and other compensation after just 15 months on the job.
In Davos, Mayer said hiring was key to the next stage of the company's development.
"It is a matter of hiring the right people and making sure these people are really informed," she said.
The departure of Castro amid continued poor ad revenue left analysts wondering whether Yahoo! will disappoint in a quarterly earnings report due on January 28.
Mayer said she arrived to Yahoo! when the company had just suffered five years of turbulence and the staff she discovered were eager to turn the company around.
The employees "had all this pent-up energy" she said.
"Yahoo! users will be mostly mobile in 2014, CEO says" January 22, 2014 https://phys.org/news/2014-01-yahoo-users-mobile-ceo.html

My apologies for the long delay in getting back to you, as I have been away from the office the past few weeks.
As for your question on the search results, ibm.com/support and developerWorks have changed their API and we can no longer correctly parse their results. Google has also changed their format and we aren't accurately reading the number of results.
Support Portal has addressed many of the reasons why ISA introduced a search interface and we will not be incorporating future changes into the search component for ISA V4. You will need to go to Support Portal to search support documents where you can get search results from ibm.com/support and developerWorks in a single search.
Again so for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Best Regards,

the search function in ISA was the most valuable function I am using and this search was so excellent, that I always talked about this in my presentations. Without this over all search function, the IBM Support Assistant did not have any value for me and I will remove it immediately from all of my systems. Further I will not recommend this tool. So my requirement is, that the search function will be re established and in Version 5 be supported.
Hopefully, you can give me a positive response.
Thank you

the maximum benefit for IBM Support Assitsant was for me, to have a universal search engine for any kind of questions and problems. In V4 it was easy to search for any kind of information in different databases and sources and I mostly was successful. With ISA I had a combined data platform for the different sources. And with the product selection I was able to search for only this information I really needed. When I will do the same manually, I have to search in IBM Publications, in IBM Support, in IBM developerworks etc. and every kind of query is different.
I will be happy, when you reestablish the functionalitiy of V4 and I promise, that I will promote ISA again.
Thank you.
Kind Regards

Many people will find Dateline's pictures of performing monkeys in chains in Indonesia shocking, but for those trying to eke out a living in the capital, Jakarta, it seems perfectly acceptable.
It's because there's money to be made in training and renting out the performing animals, and taking them round the streets to perform for passers-by and children.
But the Jakarta Animal Aid Network says the monkey business has to stop, and it's not only the monkeys that are being exploited by their owners, but also the street orphans who use them to scrape a living.
Video journalist David O'Shea uncovers the uncomfortable mix of human suffering and animal suffering.

Themed Weddings
When a couple picks a theme for their wedding it makes the planning process a lot easier as they can decide on fun items to add to the theme rather than new idea's all together! One of my favorite theme's is a Carnival wedding; an abundance of cotton candy, fireworks, photo booths, games, and fun stationary add fun bright touches to your special day. Check out some photos below of carnival themed weddings, but also look into some others such as royal weddings, pirate weddings, country style and 40's flapper!

New Delhi: A 35-year-old Murshid Ansari was stabbed to death allegedly by a sanitation worker in south Delhi's Hauz Khas area following an argument over spitting, police said.
Victim Murshid, and the accused Mukesh, 40, rented different rooms in the same flat in Gujjar Colony in south Delhi's Gautam Nagar.
At around 9.15 pm, after offering namaz, Murshid was going to his room when he found Mukesh sitting on the stairs. Murshid asked him to make some space as he blocked his way on the stairs.
But, Mukesh instead of making space started brandishing his vegetable knife to scare him.

Hey that was a really cool video. Seems like those guys can defy the laws of probablilty and physics at the same time. Have you managed to find any other cool videos on YouTube?

I'm teaching introductory E&M this term, so it's kind of fun to play around with silly applications of Coulomb's Law. For example, let's imagine that gravity suddenly switched off, but we wanted to keep the Earth in its orbit. How much charge would we need to move from the Earth to the Sun for the electrostatic attraction to take the place of gravity?
The key here is to set the gravitational force, which we can reasonably approximate by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
(where the M's are the masses, R is the distance between them, and G is a constant to get the units right) equal to the electrostatic force, which we can reasonably describe by Coulomb's Law:
(where the q's are the charges (one positive, the other negative) and the constant to get the units right is "" for historical reasons that really don't matter).
The nice thing here is that both of these depend on the distance in exactly the same way, so I don't even need to look up the radius of Earth's orbit. With a bit of algebra, we can re-arrange this to collect constants of nature on one side of the equation:
This says that you can replace gravity with electromagnetism provided these ratios are equal. There's a bit of ambiguity as to how you achieve this, though– all that matters is the product of the charges and the product of the masses, so the individual values can vary wildly. You could hold the Earth in orbit with a single extra electron, provided you put shitloads– metric shitloads– of extra protons on the Sun.
Of course, that's not very practical. If you were going to do this for real, you would move some number of electrons from the Sun to the Earth, leaving behind a positive charge of the same magnitude as the negative charge the Earth acquired. In which case, you would have the same thing for both q's, and then you can easily solve for q:
So the charge you would need depends on the geometric mean of the two masses ( kg), which is kind of cute. If you look in the back of your favorite physics textbook (you do have a favorite physics textbook, right?), you can find numbers for all these things, and get a value of:
That's a really big number– for reference, if you shuffle your feet on the carpet and shock your younger sibling, the total amount of charge you've picked up to make that spark might be in the 10-6C range.
Of course, since this is all a silly exercise, we can ask how many electrons that would be. The answer, again from plugging in values from the back of your favorite book, is:
That's enough that you might reasonably wonder whether you would be skewing the mass by enough to throw off the acceleration needed to keep the orbit going. Not to worry, though, because electrons are really light. The total mass involved is:
So by shifting just about 2000 metric tons from the Sun to the Earth, you could replace gravity. Provided that whole mass was in electrons, and you had some magic way to keep all that charge in one place. And, for that matter, to keep the Sun burning, because if you switched gravity off, all that incandescent gas would just fly away in short order…
Another, arguably more physicist-y way to go about this would be to note that you could get the same effect by taking a star and a planet with a constant charge-to-mass ratio of around C/kg. In which case you would only need about C worth of charge on the Earth, but C on the Sun.
And, just for giggles, what would you need to keep the Earth in orbit with a single extra electron? Well, you need the product of the charges to be about C2, in which case that single extra electron would need to be balanced by a charge of C, or about electrons. That's a mass of kg, or around a trillion times the mass of the Sun.
So, clearly, that's just completely crazy. As opposed to the other solutions, which are totally reasonable…
For homework, using the equal-charge figure above, calculate the strength of the magnetic field that would be produced due to the extra charge on the Earth acting like a current loop. Send your answers to Rhett for grading, and make sure you show all your work.

Fiat Working On Another Member Of The 500 Family Uploaded by mudmonster on Yesterday, 09:36 PM William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com July 6, 2012 During the recent press launch of the new Fiat 500L, Fiat previewed a new member of the 500 family called the 500X. The 500X is a crossover and will take the place of Fiat Sedici (Suzuki SX4 in Fiat clothing). Styling is a mix of hatchback and SUV cues and come with the choice of front-wheel and all-wheel-drive. The 500X will be the longest model in the 500 lineup, measuring around 13.7 feet. The 500X is also the likely canditate for the compact Jeep that we've been reporting for the past year. The major difference between the the two will be the Jeep will have a trail-rated model. The 500X will go into production next year, with the Jeep following sometime in 2014.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has urged Andre Villas-Boas not to be too stubborn with his tactics at Chelsea.
Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "On the pitch, it looks as though Chelsea have stopped defending correctly out of possession, not the back four but the team.
"Playing a high line could be part of the problem because people work it out. That's why Bolton used to beat Arsenal - they'd never drop off so we would encourage our players not to play to feet but to go diagonal in behind and get the wide players to come in off the line. If something isn't working, then you have to change.
"I would say Andre has to change his philosophy at this time, not completely dismantle it and not permanently but just until his team get back to winning ways.
"I watched Carlo Ancelotti come to England, start with the diamond before he realised he couldn't do it here. I watched Jose Mourinho come here and change to a 4-3-3.
"When I began at Blackpool my philosophy worked. I got them from the bottom of the division to the play-offs in two seasons. My next managerial job was at Notts County and I introduced the same practises there.
"It never worked. I went there in the February and they went down.
"Now I knew I had 10 games to save my career the following season and that really concentrated the mind.
"I knew I had to have a deeper look at what used to work, why it wasn't working then and how to change it.
"I decided to play a back three on the basis that the only place you could get caught out with that system was with the opposition full-backs and, in that division, they weren't good enough to damage you. It worked a treat and we walked the League that year.
"With Andre, he has come such a long way in a short space of time. It's similar to when you break through as a young player. You're in the first team, things are going well and then you miss a pass, then another, you make a mess of a header and suddenly it's not as easy as you thought it was going to be.
"It's then you need the help of the manager and the coaches. It's a defining moment. With their help and your determination you can come back and be a top player.
"It's the same being a manager and if Andre comes through this, he will be a fantastic manager.
"In the short term, though, and in my humble opinion and not meaning to be critical, he has to change in order to win football matches again as quick as possible."

Servings: 4
Cost per serving $12.34 view details
- 4 x ducks Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste Lawry's Seasoned Pepper to taste
- 1 c. Jack Daniel's whiskey
- 2 c. orange juice
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 c. ketchup
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 c. Jack Daniel's whiskey
- 1/3 c. dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Tabasco sauce
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh garlic
- 1/4 c. chopped onion
- Season ducks with salt and pepper and place in a shallow dish. Combine Jack Daniel's, orange juice and extra virgin olive oil and pour over ducks to coat. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hrs, turning occasionally.
- To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 min to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper and allow to cold. Sauce can be cooled and refrigerated for a week or possibly two.
- Remove ducks from marinade. Grill or possibly roast till medium-rare. Baste with sauce just before done. Serve with additional warmed sauce on the side.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: I know which many of you do cook your ducks whole, so here's a spirited recipe for your next barbecued or possibly oven-roasted duck. As an option, you may want to cut off the legs and roast them in sauce for a few hrs to make them tender (covered, 450 degrees). If you want to save some of the Jack Daniel's for drinking, you can forego the marinade and baste the birds with sauce while cooking, but thin the basting sauce out with some orange juice or possibly it will burn and look ugly.

FLINT, MI -- Willie Horton had a successful career playing major league baseball for the Detroit Tigers, but if given the chance, Horton said he would love the opportunity to play in today's game.
Horton, who was a key contributor for the Tigers' 1968 World Series Championship team, was a special guest for the 36th annual Crim Festival of Races on Friday during the festivities going on in the surface parking lot between First and Kearsley Streets.
During his career from 1963 to 1980, Horton hit 325 homeruns and drove in 1,163 runs while hitting .273 at the plate. He was a four-time All-Star with the Tigers and had a career-high 36 homeruns on route to the World Series in 1968.
Still, serving as special assistant to Tigers president Dave Dombrowski this season and getting to watch current Detroit power hitters Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder enjoying successful seasons has Horton wishing the game was played a little different back in the day.
"I would like to hit now because they don't pitch in anymore," Horton, 69, said. "Back then, you used to have to get off the ground a couple of times a day. I think it would be much easier hitting now because you don't have to worry about the inside pitch."
"But, these guys, Cabrera and Prince, they are great ball players and I really respect how they go about their business. You can't take that away from them."
Horton was invited to the Crim Festival of Races by the Crim Fitness Foundation, who also had a special appearance by Olympic medalist Deena Drossin-Kastor. While the actual running events start at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, numerous festivities began Thursday and Friday.
To be asked by Crim to make a special appearance was an honor, Horton said, and he wants to help young athletes the way he was helped in his youth.
"This organization, what they do for the kids through athletics, is more than just putting a ball in the kids' hands," he said. "They care about people's lives. One day you will see these kids from Flint do something because they are put around people like those from the Crim who care about them and their lives beyond the field."
Horton was born in Virginia, but moved with his family to Detroit when he was five years old. After winning a city championship with Detroit Northwestern High School, Horton was nicknamed "Willie the Wonder" and signed to a contract with the Tigers.
Horton played his first 15 years with the Tigers and was rewarded by having his No. 23 jersey retired and a statue erected of him in 2000.
In game five of the 1968 World Series, Horton threw out the St. Louis Cardinals' Lou Brock at home plate to save a run in a game the Tigers went on to win instead of sending Detroit home with a 4-1 series defeat. Horton, who was wearing his World Series ring Friday, said that throw was a huge turning point, but still may rank second behind another career moment.
"In the fifth game, my throw was the turning point and we came back from that throw in and won three games in a row and if I hadn't made that throw, we would have been sitting at home," Horton said. "But, as a kid raised in the projects around Tigers Stadium, I was blessed just to be able to play for them.
"I get chills when I think about them unveiling my number and my statue. That could be the moment because it means something not just to me, but to the team, the fans and the state of Michigan."
When the Tigers signed Fielder this past offseason, Horton said he got tears in his eyes because he remembered when his daughter would babysit Fielder. It also made him happy because Fielder was a great addition to a talented team.
The Tigers sat a game and half back of the Chicago White Soxs in the AL Central on Friday before taking on the Los Angeles Angles. Still, Horton thinks the 2012 squad has the right pieces to make a run in the playoffs.
"We have a very good team and it is just as a matter of putting things together consistently," he said. "We have been in and out and I like our chances because we have been in and out and still sit just a game and a half out.
"If we get on one of those streaks we will be just fine because we don't just have great players, but good people who work together and a lot of leaders who can take this team far."

For a generation that seems to be immersed in the brevity of the format that predominates India's cricketing narrative off-late, the Twenty20 - the Ranji Trophy might come across as a product not worth consuming - unattractive, stale, ho-hum and perhaps static. It comes across as a theatre sans the absurd cacophony, set at times in an ambience where the very charm lies in the tranquility of proceedings.
There's a genuine sense of modesty as far as the Ranji is concerned, a tournament that comes stripped of the exhibitionist facade that Indian cricket has tended to put in the last five years or so. In a sense, this is an entirely different world - quite lonely, in fact - a world where greed doesn't equal more money or bizarre kamikaze valuations, but equals runs or wickets with that eternal hope of visibility, or that single-minded aspiration of making it to the big-time.
There's so much to love about the Ranji Trophy, despite it's oft stated deficiencies (the standards, the pitches, the points system or even the format). As a matter of fact, Ranji has a pace of its own, which I often describe as unspoiled inertia. It's all slow, no action, no theatrics, nothing. And trust me, no entertainment.
On a typical flat wicket, medium pacer ploughs outside off-stump all day, glued with eternal hope of an edge that may never come, the batsman as stubborn as ever, plays it back, the bowler picks the ball again and drags himself to the bowling mark - all in one go. Even when he gets the wicket he's looking for, celebrations are scant, out comes the next batsman and back to routine. For the romantic, it's akin to agriculture yet competitive - the joy of watching a farmer till his land all day, coming back next morning, same old, same old. In its own way, it's repetition at its perfect best.
I often wonder what that lad at long-on or long-off, or even deep-square leg for that matter must be thinking about, walking in every ball, and slowly walking back to his position after the shot is played, head stooped down in great focus.
There are times when he's embarrassingly caught yawning on the field, or ever so engrossed in an attempt at day-dream that he can't quite get what his team-mates are trying to tell him, his body language, pretty much a give away. I often wonder what this tournament means to the cricketer, barring of course, that underlying desire to represent the country one day. But what about those, who haven't even come close to being as lucky, say a Sony Cheruvathur or a Timir Chanda or well past their use-by date, like Mohammad Kaif or Hrishikesh Kanitkar?
What does it feel like waking up at 7 in the morning, reporting to a ground a few kilometers away, taking the field knowing that you have no chance of representing the country (again)?
The answer, as far as I know it (through interaction with several cricketers) is simple - that unswerving desire to compete and that unquenched thirst for success. The Ranji Trophy, gives them a shot at glory, a redemption of sorts, a sublimation from a world they could never make their own - international cricket. For some, it might well be an escape, for others, a familiar territory, but as easy as I might make the Ranji level sound, survivors are few, some outlive its relevance and others make oblivion look a lot closer than normal.
Growing up in Mumbai, the Ranji Trophy played a seminal role in my cricketing upbringing - the city's cricketing culture - so prosperous and substantial, that it was impossible to bypass our heroes. These legends, often lionised by the city's cricketing intelligentsia and the public at large, were mainly anonymous (in today's context), but their achievements, ever so enormous, were ingrained in our consciousness.
We'd be frequently reminded of the invincible Bombay team (1958-59 to 1972-73) - the superiority that the city's cricketing heroes held over India's cricketing scene, of the decline where they fell apart sometime in the 80s.
Our cricketing vocabulary derived from backyard banters from the the very basic unit of Mumbai cricket i.e. the maidans ranged from khadoos, to the patang udav, popatwadi and komti so on. There were lectures on what it meant to wear the Mumbai cap, with the ever so popular anecdote of "It's tougher to make it to the Mumbai Ranji Team than to the Indian team" thrown somewhere in between.
Then, while Mumbai established themselves as the dadas of cricket, quite naturally, there were bound to be rivalries in place. The ones against Karnataka, Delhi were fiercely contested and the most popular one, against state-rivals Maharashtra - as the late journalist Pradeep Vijaykar called, "the battle of the roses". Such was the institutional influence that the Ranji Trophy had in our heads, that by the time I got to covering and writing cricket, it became a critical part of how I saw myself as a writer.
In a more significant way, as a cricket journalist in India, there's no better way to learn about the finer, more nuanced aspects of the game than at a Ranji match. At the very least, it's unchanging atmosphere lends itself quite seamlessly for enriching conversations about the game in itself. For those intrigued by the grapevine that dominates the BCCI and it's politics, you get plenty of those in these games.
Journalists, who quite senior in the the hierarchy, at times even worshipped as in institution somehow assume the role of a story-teller or even the lecturer, with the younger folks, paying due attention to the tales that get spun. For the attentive, it's quite a source for anecdotes, for the bored, it's just another telling off from a journalist. Either way, rest assured, it's fun. But I reckon, if ever there was a finishing school of sorts, for cricket journalists, especially with tactical knowledge as a module - it is domestic cricket.
There's no better place to learn your tactics, which I believe is one of the more ignored aspects of cricket-writing today, lost perhaps for the results and the numbers that seem eye-catching. They can be utterly confounding and cryptic at times, but therein lies the challenge of sorting out - the puzzle i.e. the very reasoning behind the captain employing those tactics and also, the context in which they're introduced. If I could resort to a little reference to role-playing, as a journalist, you become the captain and try figure things out, scribble a few points on your notepad and learn.
That's how important the tournament is for an upcoming cricket journalist and his development, as much as it enables a cricketer's progress. As a writer, the scope of the Ranji narrative is not just challenging, but a compelling motif waiting to be explored.
The disappointment today has been the way the fan has somehow tended to dispense the very concept of the Ranji Trophy - either he's too occupied with his own business or just apathetic about the tournament itself. Or, at the risk of speculating, his affiliations have grown out of these state teams to the IPL franchises, due to lack of interest or worse, lack of a connect.
The logic for a Ranji fan today isn't so much based on what he gets to watch i.e. cricket, but who he gets to watch i.e. international cricketers vis-a-vis, say, not so known players. Trust me, there's nothing better than spending your weekend at a cricket ground, watching a narrative unfold, however painstaking or breathtaking it might sound, given that this tournament has a space for both, the former more than the latter, though. The diehards will always find some time to invest in following his/her team, but it's still not adequate enough.
The idea of the Ranji Trophy, to an extent was to bring about strong affiliations between the fan and his state/city side. The national narrative took over after the 1983 World Cup, but somehow, his involvement has only mellowed down. Of course, to an extent, the BCCI is to blame - as far as marketing the Ranji is concerned. Commercially speaking, it's nowhere close to everything the IPL represents, no corporates involved, yet, it deserves a better deal as far as the board is concerned.
The scheduling, as demanding as it might sound for the players, has improved as far as the fan is concerned - with most of the matches having Day 2 and Day 3 slotted for the weekend, which is what should draw a lot of people.
Having said that, there is slight hope of a greater involvement from fans, given that the internet in general and social media in particular has taken to the Ranji Trophy quite seriously. There's a refreshing sense of curiousity amongst otherwise apathetic, the often India-centric cricket fans about their respective teams, prompted by the concept of crowdsourcing of these scores.
A few dedicated fans of the tournament, with time on their side, visit these grounds and end up tweeting scores, or posting Facebook updates about the games being played. It started out as a noble experiment, and today, there's a great deal of following I observe - at least on the internet, if not at the grounds. In a faint little way, this tournament deserves a certain sense of initiative from the fan, for it is more important than we're told by our media and the BCCI. It deserves a greater patronage from those who claim to love everything about Indian cricket.
Make no mistake, the Ranji Trophy isn't quite dying the tiger's death we're sometimes prone to casually speculating about. Indian cricket, unfortunately or otherwise is at a stage where the tournament has underscored its importance over that slam-whack-bang-theatrics we've come to love these days, and the future of the cricketing discourse, however bleak or great it might appear, rests on the relevance of the Ranji Trophy.
As I quietly sit on a wintery Delhi morning, kicking myself for missing out on a Delhi vs UP tie at Ghaziabad, I wonder if the pride in wearing the Mumbai Ranji cap will be the "in thing" again. I wonder if the very charm of the tournament that underlines the birth of a cricketer, his journey from boyhood to manhood, will prove seductive enough for him to immerse himself. I end this piece with that a sense of optimism, that playing the tournament is as much about scoring runs and taking wickets, as it is about enriching the tradition that has come to underline Indian cricket through several decades - that awesome sense of pride in representing one's state and importantly, the lure of the ultimate glory in Indian cricket i.e. winning the Ranji Trophy itself.

Juventus v Manchester City – Europa League
European ties against the likes of Juventus were nothing more than a pipe-dream for Manchester City fans a few years ago. Is it complacency, therefore, that they are now viewed as a distraction rather than a bonus?
City fans have, of course, more to concern them than some relatively meaningless Europa League match at the moment. Roberto Mancini's team have already qualified for the knockout stages and will top their section if they win in the Stadio Olimpico against a Juve side that has drawn all five of their games so far and now have no prospect of further progress. But City will have to achieve that result without captain Carlos Tevez, who stunned Eastlands by handing in a written transfer request last week. Whether it's the Argentinian or his agent that's decided his future lies away from the north west is a matter of conjecture, but Tevez is known to be unhappy that he's separated from his family for long periods and actively seeking a move back to South America. What many have taken issue with, however, is the way he and his entourage are attempting to force City's hand and it's no surprise the relationship between player and club has broken down.
Tevez won't be in Turin this week, and neither will manager Mancini who is having corrective back surgery. But they probably won't be the only big-name absentees as the Sky Blues could also rest the likes of Yaya Toure, David Silva and Gareth Barry, while Juve fans won't get the opportunity to racially abuse Mario Balotelli as they did when he played in Turin for Inter last season.
Juventus are flying high in Serie A and beat fellow title challengers Lazio at the weekend. But they, too, could make changes for City's visit with an important game against Chievo only four days away. That could mean a start for veteran Alessandro Del Piero, his team's top scorer this season along with Fabio Quagliarella, with Mohamed Sissoko, Armand Traore and striker Simone Pepe also expected to win a recall after being benched against Lazio.
Despite Saturday's win at West Ham, one can't imagine that the Manchester City dressing room is a particularly happy place at the moment and they could be excused to taking their eye off the ball in this one. Juve were their equal at Eastlands and got a deserved draw – with home advantage, they could easily better that result.
A Juventus win is 7/5, while it's Evens for exactly 2 or 3 goals in the Total Goals Market.


text: Has anyone had a problem with Dektol eating away a plastic storage jug? I had a big jug of Dektol under the bench that I should have discarded months ago. Today I discovered the jug was leaking and the Dektol had eaten into the tiles under it. I never had trouble with Dektol in plastic before. Maybe the jug let go, but seeing the way Dektol ate into the tiles, I am wondering if it ate a hole in the jug.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
When I've been doing sessions around the world on DataDude (Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals), the main feedback I've had is "great product but pity we'll never get to use it because of the licensing".
Sanity has finally prevailed. In today's PressPass announcement, while there's interesting news on product naming (Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0), there's great news that the developer and database professional editions will merge and in the meantime, people licensing the developer edition will now get DataDude as well. (and vice versa). This is a big step forward for the product.

Harry Harland (Plan B – Ill Manors)
Once again, this is hardly quick on the uptake, but having watched his performance as a rare highlight of last weekend's Hackney Weekender, I felt compelled to write about my love of Plan B's incendiary protest song Ill Manors. Additionally the tie-in film has just been released, so there is at least a semblance of relevance about this.
Fans of Plan B's superb-yet-unbelievably-gritty debut album Who Needs Actions When You've Got Words could have been forgiven for wondering if the follow up Defamation of Strickland Banks was even by the same person. The former's grim raps about teen pregnancy, crack addiction and knife crime, set to simple, menacing acoustic guitar play seemed a million miles away from the polished soul of the latter, even if the subject matter was not.
Having toured the platinum-selling Stickland Banks, Plan B has "gone back to his roots" with London Riots-inspired Ill Manors, but he's clearly picked up a few production tips along the way.
Gone is the acoustic guitar and in come dark, brooding strings. The lyrics, highlighting the underlying issues behind the social unease in the country last summer, flow flawlessly, building up to the blunderbuss jackhammer of a chorus.
Those who experienced his early work will know that when he screams "What you lookin' at you little rich boy?" he's speaking in character, conveying a message that exists, even if it's not necessarily his opinion. Plan B's style has always been one of storytelling, especially from the first person, so while some may see this as a direct attack on "bloody rich kid" politicians, it's more satirising how out of touch both sides of the fence are with each other.
The accompanying film (of the same name) is out now and has had strong reviews, although I wouldn't imagine it's a particularly light-hearted affair. The album release which soundtracks it is due for release in July, on the strength of this single, there is much to look forward to.
On a lighter subject, a posh spoof of the song has been independently made and is even endorsed by Plan B himself after it was played on Radio 1. See what you think, but for my money it's absolute genius.

Pastor Maldonado will not be penalised after the Williams team was forced to change his engine ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
- Home

- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
Williams has opted to change the engine in the back of Pastor Maldonado's FW35 ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix, wary of a repeat of last season's failure
The team reported piston damage as the reason for the change, which will not cost the Venezuelan any places on the grid, having checked the engine over after qualifying. Maldonado failed to set a time in the second phase of Saturday's rain-affected session and will start 16th as a result.
Ironically, the third-year driver was forced out of last season's Malaysian race by a piston-related engine failure. The Venezuelan, who would go on to win the Spanish Grand Prix a couple of months later, was running in tenth spot when smoke appeared from the rear his car, and investigations carried out between the Malaysian and Chinese rounds 'quickly identified it as a piston failure'.
Although Williams can no longer use the offending unit - which was due to be consigned to practice duties after reaching its 'life mileage' at Sepang - in either qualifying or a race for the remainder of the season, Maldonado will not be penalised for the change as he can merely fit another engine from the eight allowed for the year.

Public Viewing of the Presidential Inauguration at San Francisco Public Library
The San Francisco Public Library is holding a special free public viewing of the live, televised coverage of the inauguration of President-Elect Barack Obama on Tuesday, Jan. 20, beginning at 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time in the Koret Auditorium of the Main Library, 100 Larkin St.
The event is sponsored by the Library's African American Interest Committee in recognition of the tremendous level of interest in the inauguration. "This is a momentous occasion for America, the election of an African American president, and even doubly so for African American communities who are looking at this past election and its outcome as miraculous and earth shaking," said African American Center Librarian Stewart Shaw.
The viewing offers those living and/or working in the Civic Center neighborhood a chance to view the historic inauguration ceremony with the community, hear President Obama take the oath of office and give his inaugural address.
"On such an historic day for the nation, we are looking forward to hosting all who wish to view this remarkable event with us in the beautiful Koret Auditorium," said City Librarian Luis Herrera. "The Library strives to be a place where all are welcome and can come together to celebrate democracy and open access."
The public viewing will conclude at Noon Pacific Standard Time; the timeline is expected to allow library patrons to watch televised coverage of the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House and other events that follow the ceremony.
Free tickets for the program can be obtained in the days prior to the event from the General Collections Reference Desk located on the 3rd Floor of the Main Library. Patrons with tickets will be allowed to enter the building at 8:45 a.m., 15 minutes before the official library opening time. After 9:00 a.m. seating in the Koret will be available on a first come, first served basis. Refreshments will be served in the Library's Latino/Hispanic Community Meeting Room.
