Munich, 28 January 2013 – Linde Electronics, the global electronics business of The Linde Group, has strengthened its commitment to memory manufacturing with the announcement of a significant investment in a new ultra-high purity disilane plant in Upper Mt. Bethel Township, Pennsylvania, USA, owned by Voltaix, leading manufacturer of materials for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries. Linde has partnered with Voltaix to facilitate the production of next-generation NAND flash memory chips, which requires high volumes of disilane (Si2H6)..
The increasing functionality and improving performance of devices such as smartphones and tablets generates a demand for larger NAND and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) memory capacity. The fabrication of these advanced memory chips involves ever-smaller critical dimensions, which leads to challenges in the deposition of ultra-thin amorphous or polycrystalline silicon films. Several new materials are being adopted by the industry to ensure good continuity and smoothness in these films. One such material is disilane, which offers a substantial process improvement over traditionally used monosilane in the deposition of high-quality silicon films of thickness less than 5nm, including the further advantage of allowing lower deposition temperatures.
Linde's investment in disilane and the Voltaix facility, which has an annual capacity of 40 tons, will enable a major US memory manufacturer to ramp production of advanced NAND flash and DRAM chips to meet fast growing industry demand.
"Our partnership with Voltaix will facilitate innovation in the fabrication of next generation memory devices. Thanks to the large capacity of the plant in Portland, we're in an ideal position to meet current and future demand from the world's NAND flash memory chip manufacturers for ultra-high purity disilane, reinforcing our position as a leading specialist gas supplier for the electronics industry," affirmed Holger Kirchner, Head of Electronic Materials, at Linde.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr Peter Smith, Voltaix Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Through the help of one of our key distribution partners, Linde Electronics, Voltaix will become a leading high volume manufacturer of disilane. Disilane is a critical material for low temperature poly-silicon deposition in memory and logic device structures. Its versatility enables it to be used in existing batch furnace and single wafer tool sets with a higher deposition rate providing increased throughput versus that of silane," added Dr Smith.
The investment in the Voltaix facility will provide Linde with significant capacity to supply disilane for the next several years and meet the anticipated sharp growth in disilane consumption as device sizes shrink below 20nm.
Dee Nguyen, Analyst, Memory & Storage at IHS, concludes: "After a year of setbacks in 2012 due to oversupply and weak global demand, the NAND Flash market is expected to rebound in 2013, reaching revenues of $23.7 billion, and achieving growth of 7.2 percent through 2016. In particular, the NAND flash market will benefit from the trend towards greater mobility, as consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, and Ultrabooks, which are enabled by NAND flash memory, become increasingly popular."

In Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, players experience unparalleled freedom across the pitch with improved ball control and player movement. Enjoy total football as you vary the speed of your dribbling, cushion the ball, nutmeg rival players and use a variety of moves to shoot your way to the top. Instantly recognise the best players in the world with incredible likenesses and signature moves that mimic real-life superstars. Balance attack and defence with ProActive AI which helps computer controlled players find space, respond to tactics and react to the changing nature of each match.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
Konami's latest edition of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (also known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2013 in Japan), was released in September 2012 and is considered by many to be one of the most challenging and rewarding soccer games to date. The long-standing rivalry between Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA might finally have a clear winner with this new installment.
Despite a steep learning curve that some might find difficult to grasp, most gamers who enjoy the Pro Evolution Soccer series praised Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 for eliminating the less technical defense system used in previous installments. The difficulty pays off by delivering a more interactive experience than ever before. Players who find the task of mastering the new system daunting can hone their skills in the overhauled training mode, which leads you through every new move until you're confident enough to take them out on the field for a real match. Once you have the hang of pressing the right buttons at just the right time, which might be frustrating to players who are new to the soccer genre, you'll find it much easier to use the complex new moves to their fullest.
Your first match on the field will be more satisfying than Pro Evolution Soccer's previous installments due to a refined physics system that brings the ball to life like never before. Vastly improved artificial intelligence means you don't need to play with another gamer to enjoy a challenging match. However, while the game has visually improved and feels smoother and more controlled than ever before, some fans who've been with the series for years are unhappy with the occasionally unrealistic moves and the oftentimes unerring accuracy of the players on the field.
The game itself flows beautifully, but key features that could have made Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 even more of a stand-out than it already is have been neglected. Unfortunately, its single player modes haven't improved and are virtually the same as before. While a prize system is in place to reward online play with in-game money and items that modify your team's stats, online multiplayer is still in need of the overhaul fans have been asking for. Perhaps worst of all, the transfer system is still outdated and shows its age more than ever before.
Unfortunately, the presentation is still dreary and unattractive despite its attempt at having a retro charm, and most fans are still unhappy with the commentary, which is as abysmal as ever. While these most likely aren't flaws that will have a huge impact on your enjoyment of the game itself, they can be distracting and aren't insignificant details if visuals play an important role in your gaming experience.
Despite its flaws, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is still a huge leap in progress and has been praised by most fans of the series as being the best installment yet. It will offer countless hours of entertainment to veterans of the soccer genre and newbies alike.

Driver sought in Winter Park daycare crash; Girl, 4, dies
Robert Corchado now believed to be driving rented SUV
WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Florida Highway Patrol has now issued arrest warrants for a driver they say was involved in a crash at a Winter Park day care that killed one child and injured more than a dozen other people.
[PHOTOS: Car crashes into day care | VIDEO: Local 6 report]
Troopers say Robert Corchado, 28, was behind the wheel of a Dodge Durango that hit another car near the KinderCare Learning Center at 4035 Goldenrod Road in Winter Park. The driver of the car then lost control and slammed into the building.
Troopers say Corchado left the scene, and his Durango was found abandoned at a home off Aloma Avenue.
Investigators now believe Corchado rented a black Mazda SUV with the Florida tag CHR-Q41. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is asking anyone who sees the vehicle to call 407-737-2200.
Records show Corchado was arrested in 2013 on charges of careless driving, hit-and-run and leaving the scene of property damage. He is currently awaiting trial.

Investigators say a total of 13 people were taken to the hospital. Two others were treated at the scene. Orange County Fire Rescue said 50 children were inside of the day care at the time of the crash.
A small memorial was held outside of the day care Wednesday night.
Local 6 was there as the car, appearing to be a Toyota Solara, was pulled out of the day care on Wednesday evening.
WATCH: Witnesses recall scene of crash at Kindercare
Some parents arrived at the daycare after hearing about the crash and were trying to learn the whereabouts of their children. Orange County Fire Rescue said the uninjured children were put in a safe place and daycare officials took roll call to reunite the children with their parents.
Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs called the crash "an absolute tragedy and disaster."

Jeezy Jenkins told Local 6 he was repairing the roof of the Marathon gas station next to the daycare when he heard screeching tires. He looked up and saw the crash, and a silver Dodge Durango speeding off.
He said he jumped off the roof to see if he could help. When he looked inside the daycare, he says he saw small children, seriously injured, lying on the ground.
"There was other ones that weren't moving at all, and the teachers were giving them CPR and stuff like that," he said.
Winter Park is a suburb of Orlando.

Actress Zosia Mamet's dreams of starring in her own music video have been left in tatters after the online campaign she launched to fund the project failed dramatically.
The "Girls" star, who plays Shoshanna Shapiro in the hit TV series, and her sister Clara, who together perform as The Cabin Sisters, started the Kickstarter.com drive last month to fund the promo for their track "Bleak Love."
The siblings aimed to raise $32,000 from fan donations by offering up rewards such as T-shirts and lyric sheets to donors, but the project is now on hold after only bringing in a paltry $2,783 by its Sunday night deadline.
The Mamet sisters' highest pledge was $100 and only 80 people backed the widely publicized project.
The actress is not the only star who has failed to win over fans for a Kickstarter campaign – Melissa Joan Hart was forced to pull the plug on her online fundraiser last month after raising just $51,000 of her $2 million target.

It's nothing new for a fighting game franchise to package new characters, balance changes, and a few new modes as a totally new release. Ever since the days of Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting on the SNES, fighting game developers have been releasing what were essentially updates as stand-alone titles. The trick is to give your fans enough extra content to not feel cheated for purchasing the now-outdated version, but in recent times some developers have been missing this mark. Many of you remember the controversy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 caused when it was released a mere eight months after the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Many of you also remember the controversies surrounding Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, and the now released Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Version 2012. Heck, some of you probably even remember that oversaturating the market with fighting games and fighting game revisions is what originally caused the fighting game scene to die out in the late nineties. So why is it that game developers like Arc System Works cannot learn their lesson?
It's time for a little history lesson. A while back Arc System Works released BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. It was a brand new fighting game IP that played a lot like Guilty Gear. A few years passed and they released BlazBlue Continuum Shift, a sequel to the game that included three new characters, several new balance changes, a totally reworked guarding and bursting system, and an expanded array of gameplay modes. Continuum Shift only cost 40 dollars instead of 60 dollars, so the BlazBlue community for the most part found this to be a pretty good deal. Then Arc System Works started releasing DLC characters at eight bucks a pop, and, while that was a little expensive, they came along with an "unlimited" version of the character with a brand new move set and a whole host of new costumes to choose from, so much of the BlazBlue community thought this was a fair deal as well. Then Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition came out, which was essentially a balance patch for Super Street Fighter IV. Capcom charged 15 dollars to download this patch, or 40 bucks to pick up a brand new copy. Meanwhile Arc System Works released their BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 balance patch for free; giving characters entirely new moves, new combos, and greatly rebalancing the game. The BlazBlue community thought this too was a pretty damn good deal, considering that it was free.
Now, Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend has come out. It features one new character, a couple new balance changes, and some new game modes—and it's a horrible deal! It's easily the worst example of a new revision cash-in since Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting. Now that's not to say the game isn't good. The new modes are interesting, the balance patches make the game much less lopsided, and the new character, Relius Clover, is quite interesting to play. In fact, the game is designed quite well; it's just nowhere near worth its 40 dollar price tag.
Let me explain. BlazBlue Continuum Shift: Extend comes complete with every DLC character that was released for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. The natural question now is "what does this mean for the people who already spent 24 dollars on all three DLC characters?" The answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Those 24 dollars were basically burned in the middle of a parking lot, because anyone who purchases Extend will gain access to them as well. Consider this as opposed to UMvC3, which didn't give you access to the DLC characters from MvC3 unless you had purchased them in the first place. I honestly would have rather seen Arc System Works do this with Extend, because then I would have at least felt like my previous purchases were worth something.
These characters do get a brand new single-player story mode, which does a short re-cap of the events in Calamity Trigger, but that's not saying much. Most BlazBlue fans already played through Continuum Shift's story mode in order to unlock Mu-12. Since much of the story in Extend is exactly the same, going through it again is just tedious. Not only that, but Mu-12 comes pre-unlocked in this game, so if you are a hardcore competitive player you have no reason to play the story at all. If you are a more casual player that is genuinely interested in the story, you can't transfer your save data over, so you'll have to go through the chapters you already beat all over again.
There's a new Unlimited Mars mode that puts you up against absurdly difficult A.I. opponents that all use overpowered "unlimited" versions of the cast. However, these unlimited versions also existed in previous versions of the game. They were hard to unlock, but many people decided to drop a few bucks to purchase them on the online store. Once again, this purchase now gets you absolutely nothing. In addition, the A.I. is so much more difficult in Unlimited Mars mode that it becomes incredibly un-fun to play for anyone who isn't looking for the biggest challenge the game has to offer. Heck, most of the pro fighting game community doesn't even take on this mode. There is also the new Abyss mode, which is really just a new take on survival mode, and Legion mode, which tries to simulate a strategy game experience but once again amounts to little more than another string of repeated battles.

Strategic Intelligence is a coordinated activity of research, analysis and distribution of information necessary to make strategic decisions.
When strategic decisions are driven by anecdotes, executive intuition and past experience, companies run the risk of making decisions based on biased information. A structured process exists to implement within a company the tools necessary to guide managers and top management when making strategic decisions.
Here are indications that those processes are not well-mastered in the organization:
Competia works directly with boards, individual board members and their strategic commitees, or with executive teams to provide guidance, and specific tools to create the space for this strategic discussion.
As a board member, you can be held responsible for identifying where the executives might have undereastimated a strategic risk, or where they are failing to see a strategic opportunity. You are routinely expected to be a strategy guru, without the relevant tools and support. In a recent article Hays Management revealed that most CEOs simply present strategy theory to the board, rather than engage members on strategic issues.
A McKinsey survey found that corporate directors,
"Want to spend more time on long-term strategy and less time on short-term matters such as ensuring that quarterly earnings will consistently meet market expectations."
Competia has developed a systematic approach to examine a company's strategy and lead a discussion around potential "blindspots" – untapped opportunities, or overlooked risks.
Check out these articles about the crucial role of boards in strategy:
Setting up a Competitive Intelligence process in your organization will allow you to:
"My role is to facilitate this process, and these discussions - I am not a substitute to your management team, and would never run a competitive analysis on your behalf - but will transfer the knowledge about HOW to do it."- Estelle, Competia

Senate Control in 2014 Increasingly Looks Like a Tossup
" This weekend's announcement by the former governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer, that he would not seek that state's Democratic nomination for Senate represents the latest in a series of favorable developments for Republicans as they seek control of the chamber.
The G.O.P.'s task will not be easy: the party holds 46 seats in the Senate, and the number will very probably be cut to 45 after a special election in New Jersey later this year. That means that they would need to win a net of six contests from Democrats in order to control 51 seats and overcome Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s tiebreaking vote. Two years ago at this time, Republicans faced what seemed to be a promising environment and could have won the Senate by gaining a net of three seats from Democrats and winning the presidency. Instead, Mitt Romney lost to President Obama, and the G.O.P. lost a net of two Senate seats. "

In my 4+ years of sewing and quilting, I've discovered many tools and products that I absolutely love. One item I've never fallen in love with, however, is an iron.
It's almost ironic, because I am an almost obsessive presser. As I've mentioned before, I'm largely self-taught ... so I don't really have a sense of how other quilters do the very same tasks that I do. It wasn't until I started talking to (and sewing with) my fellow Triangle Modern Quilt Guild members that I realized just how obsessive a presser I am. I press every seam, after every run through the machine. I use spray starch like a madman. I like my iron hot, my seams neat, and my quilt blocks flat. You might think I'd prioritize a high-end, highly functional iron.
Not so.
Typically, I've purchased and used fairly low-end irons from big box retailers, and have never found one that I'd recommend or would even purchase again. In most cases they're ... fine, I guess ... but nothing to get excited about. I think that the game may have changed ...
I was recently contacted by the team at Panasonic about a new iron that is now available for sale: the Concept 360° Freestyle Cordless Iron, which seems to have been designed and built with sewists, quilters, and crafters in mind. They offered to lend me a sample of the iron to use on a trial basis, so that I could let them know what I think. Instead of just telling them, I thought I'd share it with all of you as well. After just a couple of uses, I am definitely impressed.
I will say that the shape of the iron takes some getting used to. For me, ironing is a completely mindless task, and I didn't realize until using this iron that it's normal for my mind to drift off and for my body to fall back to routine motions. So, I had a few scares when I tried to set the iron down on it's backside -- of which this iron doesn't have one! I nearly dropped or fumbled the hot iron on more than one occasion but, once I trained myself to place the iron back into its dock, I didn't have any more issues.
And did I mention that this iron is cordless? I didn't understand what a huge convenience this would be. I have never been able to find a good ironing board / outlet / plug & cord configuration that didn't lead to some awkward movement or tangled cords. Having a cordless iron takes away those concerns completely.
I used to iron with steam all the time but had too many issues with irons spitting black gunk onto my quilt blocks, so I've only used dry irons for a long time now. So far, I've only used this iron on its dry setting, so I can't yet comment on its performance as a steam iron.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic tool for quilters and sewists. It currently sells for $99.95 on the Panasonic site -- not too bad by Rowenta standards, but certainly more than I am accustomed to spending on irons. However, with its unique design, cordless nature, and practical carrying case, I think it's a great value for the money.
Plus, I am excited that Panasonic is allowing me to offer you guys an additional $20 rebate on this iron through 12/21 (that's next Wednesday), while supplies last. That brings it down to $79.95, which may be a great idea for a last-minute Christmas gift -- and Panasonic is currently offering free shipping! To take advantage of this deal, simply enter the code FREESTYLEQUILTER (case sensitive, so be sure to enter all caps) at checkout.
Here's the link to purchase.
(For a not-so-subtle hint, feel free to forward the link to this post to your moms, dads, husbands, wives, or anyone who may be doing some last-minute shopping for you!)
From time to time, I am contacted by companies, publishers, business owners, etc. to "test drive" or review their products. I only review or endorse products that I truly like, and would want to share with my readers. I am contacted about many more products and services than the ones that make it to my blog -- some I turn down outright, and others I try but choose not to review -- so you can be confident that I am only recommending products that I myself would (and do) use.

According to this video, the map names "Shipbreaker" and "Terminal" briefly appeared in the map selection list of Modern Warfare 3's private match menu, apparently tipping off the names of two maps to come in the game's next DLC drop this month.
The enthusiast site CallofDutyMapPacks.com speculates that "Shipbreaker" could be a new Face Off map, similar to Rust from Modern Warfare 2. It may also end up going by the name "Boardwalk." "Terminal" was the name of a map in Modern Warfare 2 as well, and rumors have circulated that it may be returning in MW3.
I've pinged an Activision representative for the obligatory comment.

An exhibit organized by Professor William North in connection with the Alumni College talk, Nebuchadnezzar's Dream: The Crusades, Apocalyptic Prophecy, and the End of History, presented by Jay Rubenstein '89, Alvin and Sally Beaman Professor of History at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, on Friday, June 21st, 2019, 8:30 – 9:30 am, in Weitz Center for Creativity cinema.
As legend has it, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was troubled by the dream of a statue made of four metals and feet of clay, and the Israelite prophet Daniel claimed that his dream foretold the rise and fall of empires and the eventual end of all history. Later voices, however, applied that claim to their own era, particularly in the aftermath of the First Crusade (1096-1099). The conquest of Jerusalem and the possibility of a new Christian empire unleashed a torrent of historical speculation and an apocalyptic vision of a world divided between East and West, Christianity and Islam, that still haunts our own dreams today. -- Jay Rubenstein
This exhibit presents a selection of biblical and apocalyptic images in facsimiles of books originally produced in the 9th to the 13th centuries.

I am CONVINCED this is going to happen. I am surprised it hasn't happened yet...now that the merger is done.
My only thought is that they are waiting to see if it hits that $1 Goldman/Cramer price target first this February when they have that last bit of debt to deal with.
If true, I think this is a RISKY strategy. Sirius is currently at a 4.5 billion market cap(7billion with debt added)...that is LESS than it was in 2003 when they had a FRACTION of the subs, growth and earnings.
Mel Karmazin doesn't run companies, he builds them up and sells them off. He's a master at it. Case in point, taking Infinity from $17 a share to $170 with it's buyout. Thats WHAT he does. He WILL broker a deal with Sirius and XM.
MSFT failed to deliver a blow to Google when it's attempt to acquire Yahoo fell thru. Apple may be dominating the mp3 and smart phone market, but MSFT is going after the cars with it's SYNC system. BOTH these companies could trump the other with a purchase of SIRIUS. And of course GOOGLE wants to expand their empire.
All three of these companies would benefit HUGE by acquiring Sirius, which is no longer a tech company, but a media company...and one with enormous value to whomever has it.
All those who scoffed at Mel's pursuit of "CONTENT" will be eating crow.
Sirius is a STEAL at these levels for any one of those three companies. They better hurry too, because GE or DISNEY could jump into the game.
Sirius has been beaten down, because of the insane and criminal delay by the FCC...but the simple fact is they are STILL growing. They will be in 100% of cars released in the not too distant future. They have Howard, Oprah, O & A, Martha, the NFL, MLB, NASCAR, NBA, NHL...etc etc.
I mean COME ON! They will OWN the car market. Terrestrial radio is DEAD, it's why they fought this merger so bad. Yes, the delay hurt the bottom line...but that is only temporary. The fact is that OEMs in cars went UP.
Sirius went from only 67 thousand subs a few years ago to now close to 20 MILLION!
Imagine Apple owning Sirius. Ipods are great, but in the car, people want live radio. And again, it's why Mel's forward thinking about content was GENIUS. He knew he'd take a hit. He knew people would be mad. But when Sirius gets bought out by one of these giants, the stock price is going to EXPLODE UPWARDS.
The debt will be a non issue eventually, even if SIrius DOESN'T get bought out.....but they WILL get bought, it's only a matter of time, and WHEN they do...the whole debt issue INSTANTLY vanishes. And all the shorts will get CRUSHED and the LONGS who've been complaining will be REWARDED.
Forget the previous hopes of a $5 pps. Sirius would go to $10 instantly.
Mark My words, this IS Mel's goal. He even said so himself. He said he doesn't run companies. He brokers deals. This deal will be his swan song.
The question is are you long and strong? How strong? This deal could happen at any moment, but after the battle fatigue of the merger process and the ongoing assault by the bashers and the downgrades by Goldman Sachs...can you hang in there? For how long?
Oh by the way...Goldman Sachs, may have downgraded Sirius 3 times in the last month, but at the same time, they've been buying up MILLIONS of shares of Sirius.
Hmmm. What does that tell you? I think it proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Goldman doesn't believe it's own actions. Can you say manipulation and agenda? It also supports my theory that Sirius will be bought. It's going to happen people.

Client Gifts for the Holidays
Every year as the holidays approach, most business owners begin to think of what to give their clients for the holidays. The wide availability of products online has simplified this process so much that gift givers need not leave the comfort of their own computer chair.
The difficult part now a day is choosing which product you want from the thousands of promotional gifts available online. So, here are a few tips to help you make the right choice for your clients this holiday season.
The Best Promotional Products to Give in Trade Shows
People, the buying public, would troop to trade shows to learn about products and services - and would take notice of exciting, new products launched in the market - but also, not a few in the queue are actually thrilled to participate in taste tests, join contests and redeem prizes, and most of all receive freebies galore. As a matter of fact, these freebies are conveniently placed free for picking. You can not blame people when they are tempted to amass loads of promotional products.
From small promotional items like pens, rulers, key chains and refrigerator magnets to quite cumbersome stuff such as bags, umbrellas and big balloons, free stuffs are sure to bring delight to a trade show visitor. And then people can not seem to get enough of mouse pads, paper weights, coffee mugs and more key rings they hardly can stuff on their tote bag, free also, of course. Never mind if most of the take-homes are a total sell-out, with glaring brands and tacky logos printed on the item, or flawed items - pens that dont write, mugs that leak and post-its that dont stick. Indeed, where else but trade shows, the ultimate source of free promotional products.
Maximize Brand Exposure with Promotional Shirts
People in charge of marketing are trusting on promotional products to create a big impact on their efforts to create brand awareness. Easily the most popular among pro motional products are shirts. A marketing strategy that aims to achieve a dynamic promotions campaign always includes the use of customized shirts as a marketing tool.
To wear your brand and have it literally walking means wide coverage and great exposure.

Hey everyone! My name is Alyssa, I'm currently a college student in New York State and am looking for ways to raise awareness about bully breeds and how great they really are.
I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember; before I had a dog I wanted one, and after we got one when I was growing up, I wanted more! Unfortunately my parents were content with a one-dog household, but that didn't stop me from being around as many dogs as possible. In high school I volunteered periodically at the local animal shelter, and that was where I fell in love with the breed. Honestly, I didn't see them as any different or more scary than other dogs. The first one I gravitated towards was a white male pittie named McFly, and I still remember his sweet yellow eyes and how much I wanted to take him home (I was only 16 at the time). I never found out what happened to him, but I like to think he found a nice family to live with...
Anyway, I've never owned a pitbull. The dog I got as a child was a black lab (Brutus, I love him and always will <3). It is my goal to one day adopt a shelter dog, but my current living situation would not be ideal for a dog with lots of energy and needing attention. Basically I'm here to learn all that I can about this breed that I think has been unfairly portrayed by the media and become a victim of sensationalism. I try to talk to people on campus about my concerns with breed discrimination, but most people ignorantly brush me off as an overzealous activist of some sort and ignore me, or come back with an ill-informed opinion. I just want a way to open people's minds to the possibility that most pitbulls are actually loving family pets.
I hope I can learn a lot from everyone here and look forward to some great discussions!
PS- I found this forum after my mom purchased the "Pit Bulls 'n Pretty Girls" calendar for me. I think the idea is so perfect, seeing as pin-ups and the pitbull breed are both American mainstays that tend to be overlooked throughout history. It's my favorite calendar ever!!

Comparisons between Australopithecus sediba (MH1) and other hominin taxa, in the context of probabilities of conspecificity
J. Francis Thackeray
Institute for Human Evolution, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
Berger et al.1 report the remarkable discovery of two hominin specimens (MH1 and MH2) attributed to a new species, Australopithecus sediba, dated to almost 2 million years ago, from the Malapa site in South Africa. They present cranial data for MH1 that can be compared with corresponding measurements for other Plio-Pleistocene hominin taxa using least-squares regression analysis, as illustrated in Figure 1. In the study discussed here, results are presented to show degrees of similarity between MH1 and other hominin species.
In pairwise comparisons of linear dimensions, using MH1 as the reference specimen, the slope m in the least-squares linear regression equation y = mx + c is associated with variability in size (measurements for MH1 being associated with the x-axis). However, the log-transformed value of the standard error of the m co-efficient (log SEM) is a measure of the degree of scatter around the regression line and relates to variability in shape, as compared to a reference specimen. Limited scatter around the regression line occurs when two specimens belong to the same species. Under such circumstances, the log SEM values are relatively low. By contrast, a higher degree of scatter around the regression line (and relatively high log SEM values) generally occur when two specimens representing different species (with different shapes) are compared.
The log SEM statistic can be used to assess probabilities of conspecificity relative to data obtained from cranial comparisons for modern pairs of specimens belonging to the same vertebrate species.2 As shown in Figure 2, log SEM values approximating -1.610 (± 0.23) are associated with a high probability of two specimens belonging to the same species and have been used as the basis for a statistical definition of a species expressed in terms of probabilities.3
Results of comparisons between MH1 and other taxa are presented in Table 1. High probabilities of conspecificity are obtained when MH1 is compared not only to Australopithecus africanus (log SEM = -1.425) but also to Homo habilis (log SEM = -1.520). Furthermore, on the basis of cranial data presented by Berger et al.1 for A. africanus and H. habilis, the log SEM value of -1.606, obtained from the comparison between these two taxa, is almost identical to the mean log SEM value of -1.610 obtained from the comparison of conspecific pairs of vertebrate taxa.3
The question arises as to whether certain specimens attributed to A. africanus (including Sts 5 from Sterkfontein, dated to 2.15 million years ago) and other (younger) specimens attributed to H. habilis (including OH 24 from Olduvai Gorge dated to 1.8 million years ago), as well as MH1 and MH2 from Malapa (dated between 1.8 and 1.95 million years ago), are part of a spectrum of variability in geographical space and time. Relative to MH1, Homo rudolfensis groups closely with Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus boisei, which have low probabilities of conspecificity when compared to A. sediba. Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus aethiopicus cluster together, distinct from A. sediba, as expected for taxa that occur earlier in time and that are more distant in geographical space on the African continent.
Log SEM values for hominin taxa, based on comparisons with MH1 (holotype of A. sediba) are plotted relative to the approximate time span of each species in Figure 3. A log SEM value of approximately -1.6 is assumed for a comparison between MH1 and other specimens of the same species. In relation to the chronology of hominin species, log SEM values plotted in Figure 3 are not inconsistent with a hypothesis of a time-successive transition from A. africanus to early Homo, as an ancestor-descendant sequence.
MH1 and MH2, with a mosaic of characters, confirm the view that the transition from Australopithecus to Homo was part of a continuum of variability. Log SEM values (Table 1) confirm the lack of clear boundaries between Early Pleistocene hominin taxa and provide one way of assessing degrees of similarity and probabilities of conspecificity in the context of a spectrum of variability through geographical space and evolutionary time. Palaeoanthropologists are urged to seek a new paradigm for classifying and assessing variability in Plio-Pleistocene hominins, without relying on binomial nomenclature to classify specimens.
This study was supported by funds from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the National Research Foundation and the French Embassy in South Africa.

3:30 p.m.
Location: Villanova Stadium, Villanova, Pa.
Radio: http://www.TowsonTigers.com
Series: Villanova leads 5-3
What's at stake: A chance at the postseason. After last weekend's 31-20 loss at the hands of Old Dominion, the defending CAA champions are in danger of being left out of the FCS playoffs and dropping out of the Top 25. If the Tigers can pull off the upset on the road against the top team in the conference, it sets them up for a run of three winnable games to close out the season and a whole lot of momentum. It won't be easy though. The Tigers have been anything but road warriors this season, having gone 0-3 away from Baltimore.
Key matchup: Villanova's backfield boasts two of the top four runners in the CAA, including the No. 1 runner in sophomore Kevin Monangai. Both Monangai and freshman John Robertson have combined for 1505 yards and 18 touchdowns in leading the No. 1 rushing offense in the CAA (269.1 ypg). Towson defense ranks in the middle of the conference in stopping the run (145.4 ypg) and will need to be on top of its game to slow down this ground attack and keep the pressure off the offense to keep up with the Villanova offense.
Player to watch: With Villanova looking to run through the Tigers with its formidable ground attack, the front four of the Towson defense will have its hands full. Watch DT Arnold Farmer (Baltimore Poly High School), who is ninth on the team with tackles (21) and has posted 1.5 TFL and one sack. The play of Farmer will go a long way to dictating how the defense will fair against the run. If he's on his game, causing chaos in the backfield and getting his hands on the running backs, he could have a big day.

Why Democrats Won't Negotiate [OPINION]
President Obama and Senate Democrats have steadfastly refused to accept anything other than a clean Continuing Resolution to reopen the government and a no strings attached increase of the debt ceiling. They are completely justified in taking this stance, but it is a little surprising that they have held out this long.
Democrats in general, and the President in particular, don't have a great track record when it comes to winning negotiations with Republicans. Even a casual look back at the President's first term provides a handful of examples of their lack of prowess with these sorts of things.
Take the economic stimulus package for example. Obama and his former colleagues in the Senate were justifiably worried that Republicans would filibuster the bill, so they intentionally asked for less than what was needed in order to avoid having the total go over a trillion dollars. In order to get enough Republicans to sign on, they ended up cutting that number by more than a 100 billion and having half of the stimulus come in the form of tax cuts, which don't give the same bang for the buck as infrastructure spending does. Democrats caved to Republicans before the negotiations even started, then caved some more, and the end result is we still have high unemployment more than 4 years later with no chance of getting another stimulus/jobs bill.
Obama similarly undercut his own position by stating that a public option wasn't a crucial element to the Affordable Care Act in order to try to appease Republican moderates before the healthcare debate heated up. What was the end result? No public option, Republican pressure forced a number of cuts and changes in the final bill to get it by the filibuster, but not a single Republican voted for the ACA when it came to the floor. Again Democrats allowed Republicans to fleece them.
The example that is most explanatory to the current predicament came the last time the debt ceiling was raised. In the midst of a budget impasse, Republicans demanded that the debt ceiling would only be raised if a bipartisan Super Committee of deficit hawks was formed to make recommendations. If those suggestions weren't adopted into law, then the Bush tax cuts would expire and the Sequester would come into effect.
At the time, Democrats believed that Republicans were negotiating in good faith. They believed that the GOP had just as much reason to avoid going over the fiscal cliff as Democrats did. They were wrong. John Boehner was quoted immediately after the deal was struck as saying he got "98%" of what he wanted.
Republicans had no interest in passing anything coming out of Super Committee that actually resembled compromise. So when the fiscal cliff did arrive, was it really a surprise that Boehner and company managed to hold on to the Sequester and even reduce the tax increase on the top bracket in exchange for allowing Democrats to keep the Bush tax cuts for everyone else? Gullible Democrats have allowed themselves to be outfoxed by Congressional Republicans at each turn. Their mistake was to have ever believed that the other side's goal was anything other than creating a mess to attach to the President and harm Democratic chances in future elections.
To grasp why the Democrats have suddenly grown a spine, you have to understand how historically unprecedented that last debt ceiling negotiation was. Increases to the borrowing limit have historically been a non-controversial piece of legislation.
Whenever a President asked for one, all of his party, and if that party happened to be in the minority in one of the houses of Congress, enough of the other party made sure that the vote to increase the limit would easily pass. This would give the rest of the members of the opposition the opportunity to cast a symbolic vote against the debt limit increase, so that they have something to point to while touting their concern for balancing budgets. Obama himself did the same when he was planning to run for President and voted against a Bush era increase. It was all theater. At no point was there ever any chance that the debt ceiling might not be raised, and Democrats got no concessions from W in the process.
You may hear that raising the debt ceiling is often attached to a broader negotiation, and sometimes it was. If you take a real look at any piece of legislation you will find all kinds of things attached to various bills, many of which are completely unrelated to whatever the key issue was. And so it was with increasing the borrowing limit, an uncontroversial part of whatever hodgepodge of serious debates happened to make their ways into the same bill.
Asking for something substantial, like cuts the size of the Sequester, in return for increasing the debt limit, has never been used as a tactic until Boehner did so in 2011. Since he got what he wanted, what was to stop Boehner from doing the same thing again and again? The lesson from that episode was apparently not lost on Obama and the Democratic members of the Senate.
As soon as the dust had settled after the 2012 election, Republicans like Grover Norquist were calling on the House to keep the President "on a short leash" by only agreeing to raise the debt limit on a week by week basis in order to legislate from the minority. While there might not be anything specifically unconstitutional about this approach, you had better believe that the founders of our democratic republic would be rolling over in their graves if such a plan were ever put into place.
Our little experiment in democracy can only work if both parties agree that there is a duty to govern effectively, even when the most recent election results do not leave you in a position to legislate your platform. Democrats rightfully see the tactics of House Republicans for what they are, a threat to blow up the federal government and the world economy if they don't get their way. Given that the issue at stake is nothing less than how the idea of majority rule should be implemented in our three branch style of government, we should all be thankful that Democrats are refusing to negotiate; the last few years show how inept they can be at doing so.

UH Manoa law school programs awarded $18,500 from the Hawaii Justice FoundationUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Dale Lee, (808) 956-8636
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — The William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa announces that it has been awarded grants totaling $18,500 from the Hawaiʻi Justice Foundation for two of its public service programs.
The school's "Hawaiʻi Innocence Project" received a $3,500 grant to conduct DNA testing in connection with its pro bono legal services for incarcerated defendants in their appeal. The Hawaiʻi Innocence Project was established in 2005 with the help of California Western School of Law and its staff in San Diego. Law students and professors from UH Mānoa and public and private criminal defense lawyers from Hawaiʻi collaborate with California staffers to investigate and litigate criminal cases where there is compelling evidence of innocence. Professor Virginia Hench leads this program at the law school.
The foundation also awarded a $15,000 grant to the school's student public interest group, Advocates for Public Interest Law (APIL) to fund 2007 summer public interest fellowships. APIL is the principal organization at the School of Law devoted to the advancement of public interest law. Its fundamental purpose is to foster the philosophy and practice of public interest law within Hawaiʻi's legal community and among the students and graduates of the School of Law.
"For students passionate about community work and social justice, one of the biggest roadblocks is always an economic one—so many of us just can't afford to work ʻvolunteer' jobs over the summer," said APIL Student President Cathy Malia Lowenberg. "This $15,000 grant for public interest summer work will open doors for many of us and will likely be the spark leading us to pursue public interest law careers after graduation."

We're prepping for our Naperville Cemetery Tour on Wednesday, June 13, and I hope you're ready to join us!
While preparing for our tour, symbolism scavenger hunt, and grave dousing have led me to think about several facets of cemetery research – AKA – Cemetery Hijinks.
I call it hijinks for several reasons:
a) It may involve some sort of covert exercise (gate jumping, wall scaling, or bribery to enter the grounds)
b) It requires balance and dexterity to avoid falling/walking into plant life, large monuments, or open holes
c) Swatting bugs is on par with heavy aerobic exercise
d) Unexplained things happen, and you may or may not have someone there to substantiate your claim
There are other interesting elements which coincide with typical cemetery hijinks. One of these is reading and deciphering headstone epitaphs. Many are proverbs or biblical verses, but occasionally there's a real gem which pops out and takes you off guard.
Cemetery symbolism takes on a whole new dimension, when instead of finding peaceful doves, dutiful anchors, and clasped hands with the words 'reunited', you'll find something like this:Yes, it's a motorcycle.
I've also heard of Yoda, the 3 Stooges, an assortment of cars, and the Dallas Cowboys emblem standing vigil in cemeteries across the country.
Other useful links for your cemetery hijinks:
Cleaning Headstones – Dos and Dont's from Hunting Kiwis
General Cemetery etiquette from Dancing in the Gardens of Those Gone Before
Six Seriously Spooky Cemetery Stories from Miss Cellania's Files
All of this, of course, is a shameless plug for our field trip!
Before you grab five of your friends for this event, don't forget we will be experimenting with Grave Dowsing, so please read this informative guide and watch this video with Mr. E.J. Adams.
Bring your own set of metal clothes hangers or dowsing rods if you wish.
Weather permitting, we will meet near the oldest section of Naperville Cemetery (The cemetery is located at 705 South Washington Street in Naperville) at 7pm. Signs will be out near the curb. Carpool if you can, and please be patient with parking!
If there is inclement weather, such as rain, thunder, lightning, or extreme wind as of 6 pm, our program will be cancelled.
This is the last Genealogy Club meeting of the season, so if I don't see you at the field trip, I wish you good luck with your family history endeavors!
See you at the Library!

SitePoint' PHPMaster.com has a new tutorial posted today from Martin Psinas about some tactics to prevent cross-site request forgeries from happening in your PHP application. The article introduces key concepts of CSRF and how you can keep it from happening in your code.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is a common and serious exploit where a user is tricked into performing an action he didn't explicitly intend to do. This can happen when, for example, the user is logged in to one of his favorite websites and proceeds to click a seemingly harmless link. In the background, his profile information is silently updated with an attacker's e-mail address. [...] Any action that a user is allowed to perform while logged in to a website, an attacker can perform on his/her behalf, whether it's updating a profile, adding items to a shopping cart, posting messages on a forum, or practically anything else.
He shows it to you "in action" with a PHP script for a basic login page that takes a username and password, does some filtering and sets the username to the session. Their "harmless.html" file offers a link to the site's "process" page with a logout action that would allow the "harmless" file access to the current session if clicked. To prevent this from happening, they suggest a unique token be included in interactions on your site. This key is checked against a token in the current session (or other location) and is only valid if they match.
The Symfony framework has included this as a part of their forms for a while now and includes automatic handling to check its validity. Solutions also exist for other frameworks like Zend Framework and many others.

Final Fantasy Fan Film Kickstarter Project, Apparently With Square Enix's Tacit Approval
from the good-signs dept
Video game giant Square Enix has never had a great track record when it comes to opting for lawyers over any kind of fan-created works built off of its properties. In fact, far from even making any attempt to encourage its fans, Square instead seems to enjoy the sledgehammer approach. Whether it was shutting down a fan-game set in the enormously popular Chronno Trigger universe, or a similar effort to create an OpenCarmageddon, the trend you'll notice is that these legal moves are made against some of the most rabid fans of some of the most beloved game franchises around.
So what would Square do if someone wanted to build off of what is almost certainly its most beloved franchise, the Final Fantasy games? Well, apparently the company will quietly okay it. At least, that's the case with the Kickstarter project for Final Fantasy 7: The Web Series, which has reportedly secured some of the necessary rights from Square Enix to move forward.
Today the team launched a Kickstarter to raise $400,000 for the project, which is now a 5-6-episode webseries based on Square's popular role-playing game. They say they've got the blessing of series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi—and the rights to use music from Final Fantasy VII.Now, this doesn't explicitly say that the company, Square Enix, has given everyone involved the go-ahead for the project, but it's hard to imagine the film creators going through the steps of securing music rights, contacting Sakaguchi, and then leaving it all to risk of the game developer's lawyers. In addition, the Q&A on Kickstarter indicates that the filmmakers have been reaching out to Square, that Square's general counsel is definitely aware of the project, and that the trailer for the series has even appeared on Square's website. I would guess that there has been at least some assurance made that nobody is going to get sued over this and, before anyone rushes to point out that the fans went the route of securing rights, that's only true of the music and no project of this kind is going to be able pay the kind of massive costs rights-holders have previously required. From all appearences, it looks like Square is playing nice.
"We have been in contact with SE for several months, and have attained full music rights," producer Dan Purcell told me in an e-mail today. "We have not however been endorsed or backed by SE. We have passed all necessary steps, including Kickstarter's review process."
And if that has indeed happened, it's a huge step forward for Square, and a step that might just be becoming a trend. The company recently went a little more lax when OCRemix, famed video game music organization, wanted to pay tribute to Final Fantasy 6, and Square gave its blessing. If it was now to give a muted nod to this fan film project building off of one of its most popular games ever, it might just be an indication that the company is rethinking its legalistic ways. And that'd be good for all fans of the game, because the web series looks fantastic.

LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Beebe on Wednesday called a special session, to begin Thursday, on a plan to stabilize health insurance premiums for teachers and other public school employees.
LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Beebe on Wednesday called a special session, to begin Thursday, on a plan to stabilize health insurance premiums for teachers and other public school employees.
Beebe said legislative leaders informed him they have a enough votes in the House and Senate to pass a series of bills ranging from stopgap legislation to hold down rate increases next year to a comprehensive plan to stabilize the public school employees' health insurance system.
The session is set to begin at 3:00 p.m. Thursday.
"If everybody agrees and it goes smoothly it could go Thursday, Friday and Saturday," Beebe said.
The governor's call for a special session includes six bills. Four will address the rising health insurance costs and one, which is backed by the governor and will be considered separately, would phase out the excess property tax revenue some school districts have kept and redirect those funds to the state.
The sixth bill, added late Wednesday afternoon, would repeal Act 954 of 2013, which eased regulatory requirements on municipalities and industries that discharge minerals into Arkansas waterways.
The proposals to address the teacher insurance crisis includes both a short-term and long-term solution. the short-term proposal calls for using $43 million from the state surplus to avert a 50 percent rise in health insurance rates set to go into effect Jan. 1. Another $36 million a year would hold down future increases.
"I would not be issuing this call if we hadn't already seen extraordinary bipartisan efforts to help our teachers and other public-school employees in Arkansas," Beebe said Wednesday. "After dozens of meetings with legislators, district officials, teachers and other involved parties, we have a solution that may not please every individual group but will help alleviate the spike in insurance rates and shore up this insurance program."
The governor told reporters earlier Wednesday that House leaders had secured 77 votes, two in excess of the 75 needed for a three-fourths majority to pass the appropriations. Senate leaders, who Tuesday were a few votes shy of a supermajority, notified the governor early Wednesday they had secured 29 votes, two more than the three-fourths majority needed in that chamber.
Sen. Johnny Key, R-Mountain Home, who is chairman of the Senate Eduction Committee, said Wednesday some members finally agreed to support the plan to address the rising teacher insurance costs when more emphasis was placed a proposal to create a task force to study long-term structural reforms of the public employees insurance program.
Several senators wanted assurances that the task force would be proactive, and not fall apart or have its recommendations sit on a shelf, Key said.
"The legislative intent is, we're not going to have to continue to bail out the system," he told reporters. "Reforms are going to have to take place, and if they don't take place this funding stream that we're putting in there we're going to pull those back down the road (if we don't adopt) real reforms."
The task force would be required to issue a report and make recommendations by June 2014, to be reviewed by legislative committees and all budget issues addressed in time for consideration in the 2015 legislative session. Key said the panel would conduct a comprehensive review of the state and public school employee insurance systems, including governance and structure, board structure and funding options.
Separately, lawmakers will consider the phase-out of excess property tax revenue held by some districts. Beebe said the measure would address a 2012 Arkansas Supreme Court ruling and keep the state's school funding in line with the intent of provisions that ended the long-running Lake View school funding case.
As for addressing the school employees insurance crisis, Beebe set legislative consensus on both short-term and long-term solutions as a condition for calling a special session.
Legislative leaders quickly forged agreement on using surplus funds for the short-term fix.
The long-term plan took more time. It would redirect $36 million annually to the school employees' health insurance system — $10 million from general revenue, $16 million from the school facilities improvement program and $10 million from state funding for teacher professional development.
Another $18 million would be passed on to school employees in the form of premiums, though that amount could be reduced as a result of reforms to be recommended by the task force.
Some lawmakers said Wednesday they support the overall plan but don't like tapping funding for professional development to pay for health insurance
"I think this is a move in the wrong direction," said Sen. Uvalde Lindsey, D-Fayetteville. "Currently there is a push for implementation of Common Core, implementation of strategies for better outcomes for students … all of those sorts of things seem to me that now is not the time to reduce the hours of professional development, that we need more.
"And so I quarrel with that reduction, but I would grudgingly hold my nose and probably vote for it."
The health insurance rates for school employees have been rising for several years because of a lack of funding from the state and local school districts. Also, a $10 million catastrophic claims fund was wiped out by five claims in 2012 and 2013 that each totaled more than $1 million. The Legislature this year appropriated $8 million for the program.
In September, Bob Alexander, director of the Employee Benefits Division, told a legislative committee it would take $53 million in new money to keep premium rates at current levels next year.
As lawmakers considered ways to hold down premium increases, officials earlier this month pushed back the enrollment period for employees covered by the health insurance plan from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1. The health insurance system told the governor it needed some direction by Tuesday so that it could begin preparing material for the sign-up period. The board met Tuesday and voted to begin the process of printing up materials based on the proposal now being considered by lawmakers.
In discussing the late addition of the proposal to repeal Act 954, Beebe said that was added because the federal Environmental Protection Agency had complained and said it would begin reviewing all water permits.

Would You Buy Wine in Mini-Boxes?
Seeking the best value for the buck.
We're big fans of boxed wine here at SE; there are plenty of reasons to always have a 3-liter box in your fridge, especially now that there are many more delicious options available in the bag-in-box format. Need a half cup for a recipe? No need to open a fresh bottle! Want something that won't go bad overnight after you open it? Start a box, it's good for six weeks!
But when we recently received a sample of the new 500-mL Tetra Paks from Black Box Wines, we had to giggle a little. I mean, they look a bit like juice boxes meant for tucking into a sack lunch. And then we thought: sack lunch with wine? Maybe that's a good idea...
There are cons to the mini-box. Once opened, Tetra Paks don't stay perfectly sealed over the long term. It's best to finish what you open right away to prevent oxidation. And clearly, they're not the most festive way to serve wine (though you could dump the contents of your carton into a pitcher.)
The benefits seem to outweigh the downsides, though. Tetra Paks are shatterproof, so they're great for taking anywhere you don't want to worry about glass—by the pool, on a boat, etc., and they're much lighter than glass, making them ideal for taking on picnics or camping trips. The mini carton is particularly good for smuggling into a movie (not that we'd ever break the rules like that...ahem...) and the serving size is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to tackle a whole bottle in one night.
And the environmental benefit is impressive. According to Yellow+Blue, another company that sells wine in Tetra Paks, a case of wine in glass weighs 40 pounds and holds 9 liters of wine, while a case of Tetra Pak wine weighs 26 pounds and holds 12 liters of wine. You're using less fossil fuel to ship more wine and less packaging.
What do you think? Have you ever bought a mini-box of wine? Where'd you take it?
Tasting the Black Box Tetra Paks
Since we hadn't tasted Black Box wine in awhile, we gave the three wines in the mini box (Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot) a try. The Monterey County Chardonnay is a little tart, without the rich and tropical fruit we expected, though the toothpicky oak comes out about halfway through each sip and lingers after you swallow. It doesn't taste like fancy wine, but it's certainly drinkable. At $7, it's a decent value.
The reds fared better, though. The Merlot is smooth and blackberry jammy but not overblown, with subtle sweet oak and lots of peppery spice. It's perfect for pizza night or takeout tea-smoked duck. We preferred it a bit over the Cabernet Sauvignon, which was drier and dustier, iron-rich with a bit of green bell pepper flavor. Again, the flavor of the grape wasn't totally masked by oak(chips), which is common with wines at this price point. Serve the cab with a meaty burger or chili, though keep in mind that the earthy-vegetal quality won't appeal to everyone.

Once again, I'm continuing with my series, which is getting longer than I expected but is almost coming to an end.
To those who forgot, I'm writing about the Orange County surf scene the years I was growing up – the mid-50's through mid-60's – before they connected the coastal communities with the freeway and the route of choice, and necessity, was Pacific Coast Highway.
Last week we left off at Newport Beach as we work our way north from week to week. Today I want to take a gander, that's kinda like a wandering gaze I guess, at Surf City itself, Huntington Beach.
As it is today, Huntington Beach was as close to being the center of the surfing culture as any other place you could think of at that time.
Dana Point had the power with Hobie, Bruce Brown films, Clark Foam and Surfer Magazine. But Huntington Beach was more like the place where they dropped the rock and all the waves rippled out to the hard core surf scene. I think there is no doubt that Huntington has more rideable surf if you take an average for all the days in the year. That stretch of beach breaks picks up the swells for any and all directions while the rest of the county is mostly best on a certain direction.
Huntington Beach was also home to the West Coast Surfing Championship, which began in 1959 and changed its name to the United States Championship in 1961. To this day that is one of the largest and most attended of all surfing events on the planet.
Getting past all that, there was a real edgy hard-core surfing scene in town during those years. Most of the local surfboards were produced by a dude named Gordon "Gordie" Duane. At first he had a shop under the pier but he moved it up Pacific Coast Highway to a little place near the oil wells when the first one burned down.
Gordie made boards with beautiful glass jobs and extremely advanced color work. One of my favorites was a board he made in the shape and color of a banjo. Obviously he called it the "Banjo Board." Not sure why he did that, other than maybe he played the banjo.
On any given surf morning of the year the place to be was around the fire ring on the south side of the pier. All the good stories and chitchat happened there. Normally the fire consisted of an old tire doused with gasoline. Yes, it smelled really bad.
Your spot around the fire ring told your status in the surf community. Up wind and you were very cool. Down wind, in the path of the smelly smoke, not so cool. It would take forever to get that smell off you too. Why do I know that, you ask? Because I started out in the not-so-cool gremmie spot getting my eyes burned out of my head in the smoke and just doing my best to hear all the good stuff that was being talked about.
It would either be about who was doing what surfing and who was hot and who was a total "kuk," or it would be about some local chick. Both subjects were of the utmost interest to me. Eventually I would work my way out of the path of the smoke but it took a lot of stinking like burnt tire to do it.
They held a lot of "Surfer Stomps" in town in those days too. Memorial Hall was the place at first and along with the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, home of Dick "King of the Surf Guitar" Dale, this was one of the premier surf dancing venues in Southern California. Eventually they moved the dances down to the PavalonRoller Skating Rink next to the pier, where Dukes Restaurant is now. All the hot surf bands played there.
The list of great surfers that surfed the pier in those days included Chuck "Chucker" Burgess, Louie Tarter, Mike and Jack Haley, Robert August, Denny Buehl, Rich Chew and Chuck Linnen.

Sorry, title probably not great, but I can't think of a better one. Here's my question. Suppose I have a $2n$ gon, with the edges identified in pairs, and no neighboring edges identified. Suppose also that I have have already done the standard thing and cut and pasted to eliminate "unnecessary" edge pairs, in other words I have the fundamental domain for surface of genus $n/2$. Now of course if I allow myself to cut and paste between any vertices I can rearrange this into the standard fundamental polygon for the surface. But suppose instead that before I allow myself to cut and paste to do this, I triangulate the polygon by connecting vertices, and then only allow myself to cut and paste respecting this triangulation. I can no longer necessarily get to the standard polygon, but has anyone seen anything about how close I can get in this case? In particular, I guess the question is how low can I make the total interleaving, say can I guarantee that no two identified sides will have more than N edges between them? I played with Mathematica about this a while ago, with $n=4$ and $n=6$, and it seemed that I could make sure that no paired edges ever had more than 2 others between them, but doubt that really means anything.
Here is an attempt to make clearer what I'm interested in and what I mean I agree with Lee that the question is probably confusing, I found it very difficult to explain without being able to draw a good picture and move things around. Let me try again. I am referring to the standard polygonal proof, and yes of course you might have to do a series of such cuts to get the final "standard" form. As far as what "no two sides will have more than N edges between them" means, think of starting at one edge and walking around the polygon, counting edges until you hit the edge identified with the edge you started on. What I am interested in is trying to minimize the maximum such count, in other words do this for each edge pair and for every possible rearrangement of the polygon, and then find the minimum of the maximum value. What this will depend on is the original triangulation. If you have no triangulation and allow for any cuts to rearrange, then of course the min will be $N=1$ since you will end up with $ABA^{-1}B^{-1}...$, but what I am interested in is if in an $n$ ton you start by triangulating with $n-3$ cuts connecting pairs of vertices and you are only allowed to use those to rearrange. Hope this makes it clearer.

To enhance walking spaces and help more people become physically active, physical therapists can work with their community leaders to: Consider walking when creating long-range community plans. Consider designing local streets and roadways that are safe for people who walk and other road users. Create opportunities to let community residents use school tracks or gyms after school hours. Maintain existing sidewalks and walking paths. Promote walking paths with signs and route maps that are easy to read. For more ideas on promoting walking in your community, visit CDC's website. Comments There are many different apps to map your routes that you walk, rivers you kayak, etc. Might be encouraging to use with friends and neighbors. You can even share on your social networking sites (your friends on facebook) or just track alone. http://www.mapmywalk.com/imapmy/ http://www.mapmyfitness.com/ Posted by Nancy Lindgren on 8/11/2012 12:44 PM

We made fun of Rachel Nichols once for her how do you feel? question to David Stern during his famous Tim Donaghy press conference, but, generally speaking, we think she's pretty good at her job. Even if the job itself is pretty thankless.
We didn't realize that Rachel was actually the daughter-in-law of director Mike Nichols, which makes Diane Sawyer her stepmother-in-law. That might freak us out a little bit.
Also, she was once one of Esquire's Women We Love. So that's an honor.
So: Do you like the Rachel Nichols? Do you not like the Rachel Nichols? We're all ears..
