David Ash threw four touchdown passes and ran for another as No. 15 Texas shook off a slow start to roll over New Mexico State 56-7 Saturday night.
Ash threw two interceptions in the second quarter and the Longhorns' new up-tempo offense stalled as the Aggies took a 7-0 lead. Ash then connected on touchdown passes of 54 and 66 yards to John Harris and Daje (duh-jay) Johnson in the final two minutes of the first half.
In the third quarter, Ash turned a scramble into a 55-yard touchdown and passed to Malcolm Brown for a 74-yard score. After falling behind, Texas (1-0) scored 35 points on 15 snaps and finished with a school-record 715 total yards with Ash accounting for 434.
Andrew McDonald was 32-of-46 passing with one touchdown, but also had two turnovers for the Aggies (0-1), who went 1-11 last season.
Texas came into the season touting its new offense and the new confidence displayed in training camp by Ash, who spent the last two seasons under constant threat of being pulled for Case McCoy. Even coach Mack Brown had said his team is ready to challenge for the Big 12 title and return among the nation's elite.
But despite the new enthusiasm and bravado that comes with 19 returning starters, almost nothing went right early. Ash looked like the same quarterback of the last two years: talented but prone to mistakes.
The Longhorns had three first-half turnovers, two by Ash, and frustrated fans let loose with a few boos when McDonald connected with Joshua Brown for an 11-yard touchdown pass that gave New Mexico State a surprise lead late in the second quarter. The Aggies' touchdown came after Ash threw his second interception.
The shocking score line seemed to wake up the Longhorns and a flurry of big plays and touchdowns silenced the boos.The 715 total yards broke the Texas record of 692 set in 1998 when Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams was dashing through defense.
Ash, who last year might have collapsed after the early turnover or been pulled from the game, found Harris open on the sideline for Texas' first touchdown with 1:48 left in the half. After Texas used three quick timeouts to force New Mexico State to punt, Ash connected with Johnson across the middle and the receiver sped away from five defenders for another long score.
With momentum swung to Texas, New Mexico State gambled with an onside kick to open the second half. The Longhorns recovered and Johnson scored again four plays later, scooting around the left side on a sweep for a 21-7 Texas lead that broke the game open.
The Longhorns were just getting started and New Mexico State couldn't match Texas' speed in the open field. Ash's dash through the secondary and his long scoring pass to Brown turned it into a rout long before Ash connected with Mike Davis for his fourth touchdown pass - this one a short 25-yarder - in the fourth quarter.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
The root of this blog post is witnessing one too many DBAs, either through direct action or indirectly by failing to act, damage or destroy the very databases they are charged with protecting. In a sense, DBAs are the guardians of an extremely valuable corporate asset - its data. But a large number of DBAs, while responsible for databases, have no idea how to be a proactive guardian of that data. And, in my opinion, that is a moral and ethical breach more than it is a technical shortcoming. This is even more important when we consider that some of these databases have a direct impact on human lives, particularly medical, security, and defense related data. (I write more about this topic in my monthly column in Database Trends & Applications Magazine.)
When we consider other professions with a direct effect on human lives, we can see that they have all implemented professional codes of ethics. Famously, the Hippocratic Oath of doctors is just the beginning. "First, do no harm." Professional Engineers (PE), whose buildings might fall down on our heads were they only motivated by maximizing profits, must adhere to seven fundamental canons. Among them, PE's shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public and that PE's shall perform services only in areas of their core competency. Even professions that affect our finances (e.g., certified public accountants) and contractual obligations (e.g., lawyers) are sworn to uphold professional codes of ethics.
The Association for Computing Machinery has a rather long code of conduct for a variety of computer-related disciplines. But the closest it gets to a DBA-type role is one for a systems engineer. Certainly, it has some passages which are reusable, such as those related to conflicts of interest. Honestly, though, it's not that close. I think we need our own - a code of ethics for DBAs, database programmers, and BI professionals.
So - what do you think? What are some ethical standards that we should aspire to? What are some big ethical lapses that you've witnessed, and that we should be sure to avoid as true professionals?

DBAs will always make mistakes so the #1 rule should focus on assurance that recovery from mistakes is always possible. Having a solid DR is numero uno & any DBA that doesn't have one of these (or a DOCUMENTED reason why not) shouldn't be a DBA.
I am not sure that it will help...how many lawyers, cops, doctors, CEOs, CFOs do you see in the news breaking the law?...a ton
It would probably be better if they were trained well
Adam posted something (not quite the same) here: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/adam_machanic/archive/2007/05/24/editorial-get-rid-of-the-bad-apples-in-it.aspx
He got a ton of different opinions in the comments
I agree whole-heartedly about the perils of what can happen. But I've also seen entirely too many companies be way too cavalier about letting good/expensive DBAs go, and just throw this 'IT task' over the fence to someone without enough training, understanding, or sometimes even gumption to be tasked with keeping all of a company's eggs in the basket. In fact, I call these people 'reluctant DBAs'... and many of them are accidents waiting to happen. But I'm not sure how much they are at fault.
In other words, management is just as guilty in those cases of putting someone without the chops behind the wheel as the person behind the wheel. I mean... who would just decide that their CEO was overpaid and replace him/her with a fairly talented office manager?
Hi Kevin,
I dislike bureaucracy. I'm record as disliking it, and that hasn't changed.
I think you make solid points here. Perhaps it was the reference to PE's - that's a solid analogy in my opinion.
Next, I think we have to find an organization to propose, manage, and maintain such an effort. I think PASS is an obvious choice. What do you think?
:{> Andy
Part of the problem is that SQL Server is a double edged sword. It is pretty simple to get it installed and running for someone who has no clue what they are doing. They have no idea what a backup strategy is, what recovery model they are using, no DR plan, etc.
A clueless DBA can cause a lot of damage...
How about a milder version of this code of ethics from the BARS [http://www.abanet.org/cpr/mrpc/mrpc_toc.html]?
This issue raises few questions...
Will there be tracking system for this dba ethics database? Maybe some kind of Point System... if someone goes beyond 100 pts then it marks the end of the dba career? Will there be appeal process?
What kind of disciplinary actions do you propose?
How many time did a dba dropped a database? 10 pt per offense as reported by the org
How many time did a dba accidentally truncated the wrong table? 5 pt per offense as reported by the org
What if the above disciplinary actions are too harsh?
Shouldn't it be the org that defines the conduct and expectation?
Ethics and Integrity go hand in hand with our Values and Morals that we are taught and learn as we grow up. Having some sort of Code of Conduct would be nice but almost impossible to impliment and enforce. Take for example certification in the flavor of database we work with daily. I have been a DBA for more than 10 years and don't hold any certifications. That being said, my personal Ethics and Integrity are exceptional. Not just according to me either. The company I work for noticed this and has formally made note of this and reward me as well.
Having some sort of formal Code of Conduct would be nice but only people with Ethics already will follow the "Code". Or to use an analogy.
Locks keep honest people honest. If someone is determined to gain entry they will.
My 2 cents
I'm with AJ - sounds great, but unenforceable.
Also agree with earlier post that organizations often do it to themselves. For example, a moratorium on new servers has just come out - no more for 3 years. For the brand new servers running my apps, no problem, but for the boxes that are already 4-5 years old and have suffered thru numerous power outages and server room heat spikes, that's nuts. Hardware can only live so long, and we've been on borrowed time for a long while now as it is. Another 3 years is courting disaster. DR is useless when the best I can do is hope that a dead server can be brought to life, with certain death coming. "Being brought up on charges" for something beyond my control is not something I want to experience.
No code of ethics enforced on me can change the bad decisions made far above me. My job requires equipment and network. If either of those are faulty, there is only so much I can do.
All that said, I tend to live by a "beyond reproach" methodology - if I don't have any business poking around in something, I don't. If it's in my area of responsibility, I take care of it - monitor, update, troubleshoot, whathaveyou. Get in front of any issues before they become problems. And when I'm too late, fix and restore.
I think people either have integrity or they don't.
Great points, everyone!
Don't forget, though, that a code of ethics isn't meant to be a contract that you can get sued for breaching. A code of ethics is more like a public declaration of accountability.
One point of contrast to what AJ said - a lot of noobs don't know what good conduct looks like. There's no one to mentor them within their IT shop and what little they get is from things like user groups and sites like this. Having a code of good conduct can, at the very least, help neophites understand what to aspire to.
I do understand it wasn't about actually getting sued (why I used quotation marks), but tarnishing my good name based on the ridiculous decisions of others is actually worse.
Not only is there the ethical issue of being the guardian of access to data, but wearing the database developer hat there is the question of design. Far too many systems are built with a "deliver what was specified" mentality, rather then looking at what the customer really needs and giving them a system that is sustainable. I've even seen hardcoded contact phone numbers because the spec says display xxx-xxxx.
And of course there is the issue of managing the changing meaning of business data that is contained in the system. As a group we tend to throw up our hands and punt on this issue, but as the business processes change the data input into the system has new (now contrary to the system documentation) data. Consequently data input via the old process has a different meaning then the data input by the new. Often the DBA is even unaware of a change even when it is a significant one. How can we provide good stewardship if we don't even understand the significance of the data we are suppposedly managing? We can't. How do we determine what is the best way to store this data if we don't see the change? We can't. The answer is that we need to have a role in the business change process. How many of us are actively raising that need to our management? Not many I'm sure. We're too swamped pretending that by being the DBA of 200+ databases that we are providing anything more then a nice backup and recovery path in event of a disaster.
I stumbled upon this blog looking for some help about SQL server and I think it is a great idea to discuss these codes of ethics. I am not a DBA. I am an analyst who needs to get the data from the databased. I don't know the ins and outs of how to administer a SQL Server database but I am trying to do it anyway. My dilemma has to do with IT/DBA policies on central operational data systems at my organization. Direct access to the data tables is not allowed. I can usually get downloads from FTP sites, there are web services which can display predefined canned reports, etc. But I am not allowed to do a direct SQL query against any data tables or even mirror image versions (such as read only 1 day old backups). The policy is that the database cannot be directly connected to anything outside the database (i.e., ODBC or OleDB). This should keep the data pretty secure…until someone like me comes along. I need access to these data for analysis. Canned reports don't do it. I need more flexibility than that. I have to pull the data via ftp download in many cases and then create a shadow system (SQL Server in my case) so that I can connect to the data the way I wanted to in the first place. The problem is, I am not a DBA so I am probably not managing the SQL Server database in the best way, I am making at least 2 copies of the data in order to get them to my SQL server and I'll bet there are several others besides me in the organization who are doing similar things. This seems LESS secure to me than if I just had direct OLEDB or ODBC access to a SQL Server. Being an analyst I have no desire for changing any of the data so I only need select access. I would love to hear the opinions some database administrators on this topic of data security. In a nutshell, from my point of view, the act of making the data secure in this way is actually causing it to be less secure.
Thanks and sorry for being so wordy.
Well NOTADBA... There are TWO reasons for locking down a database. One is the data security, the other is for the reliability of the system. Ad hoc queries against the database have a tendency to impact the performance of the system and the restrictive policy may well be in order to maintain SLAs of response time etc.
Why they wouldn't give you access to a mirror is beyond me... That indeed leads to uncontrolled replication of data.

In order to make the campus recover its tranquility, and create a better study environment for teachers and students, core area in the major campus of Peking University will ban automobiles from 2018, said Principle of the Peking University Lin Jianhua on May 4, the China Youth Day and also the 119 birthday of the Peking University when university leaders, renowned scholars and students of the representatives of the university exchanged ideas on discipline construction, talent cultivation and campus construction.
Yanyuan where the Peking University is located in is beautiful but crowded where accommodates 30,000 students and is visited by continuing education students and tourists every day. As increasing number of automobiles and bikes flooding in, the campus is facing traffic pressure, moreover, pedestrians are exposed to higher risk.
Lin Jianhua revealed they plan to relocate non -core institutes of the Peking University out of the major campus to ease the pressure. On the other hand, they will take every chance to expand new campus. For the present, the under construction catering center, the to-be reconstructed audio-visual building and Nongyuan Canteen will offer students room for study and leisure.
At present, the university is drafting a plan to build a quite large underground parking garage and will standardize on-campus activities.

Motivation- Justice: Danny is driven by a need to protect the innocent. He failed once before and he isn't going to fail again.
Relationship: Danny has lived with his Mom for all of his life, with her taking care of him. After her injury, now Danny needs to help take care of her.
Secret: Danny is keeping his identity a secret for his Mom's safety. Also, his past life as an unber-nerd is not something he is extremely proud of right now.
Danny was a typical "live in your Mother's basement" computer nerd. In fact, it never even occurred to him that he had a special ability, until a chance meeting with Ethan Kellar. Ethan watched Danny make an impossible shot with a can of corn to take out a mugger. When he suggested Danny had some real talent, Danny shrugged it off as nothing. Ethan gave Danny his card saying, "People have done more with less."
Unfortunately, the mugger he stopped was a higher up in a local street gang, and he wasn't to happy about being stopped by a nerd using a can of corn. He sent some boys to deal with Danny, only to get his Mom instead. Danny was furious that he couldn't protect his Mom, who was now paralyzed from the waist down.
Finding Ethan's card, he sought out the man. Ethan wasn't really interested in helping Danny get killed while seeking revenge, so he sent him away. When that didn't work, he started to run him through some "tests" designed to demoralize him and send him home to his Mom. That didn't work either, and after one such test Ethan realized it wasn't about revenge for Danny, it was about not letting the same thing happen to anyone else.
So he sent Danny for some intense training with several teachers, including Master Lee. When they said he was ready, Ethan trained him with the bow. Now months later, Danny is ready to make his debut as the new Archer.
Note: I reworked Danny as a PL10 character to be ported into T-Man's Force OPS. I dropped the Range Perception (at BadPenny's recommendation) for many reasons, not least of which is the bow had to be insanely nasty to hit PL caps. As Badpenny pointed out, if he spends a round aiming and uses Ultimate Aim and All Out Attack, that is a 44 which should hit almost anything, so he stays pretty true to character. I split the bow from the arrows to achieve the convoluted effect of being able to use the arrows as weapons even if he is disarmed. Now the bow just adds Increased Range to the Arrows attacks.
Unlike the Paragons version, this Danny is chosen to be a legacy Archer by Ethan Kellar. He gets sent through some intense training, and I could only figure some personal tragedy would inspire him to stick with it and not take the easy way out (gadgets or powersuit). He is still a bit of an uber-nerd, but he is angry for not being there for his Mom and now she has to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Background: Danny was a six year sophmore working his way towards being a professional student. Danny is the baby, so she lets him get away with things the older kids never got to do. When the DC Tryouts came, he hadn't really considered trying out, but he showed up to watch. He had long figured out he had a unique ability to hit any target with anything he threw or shot. When someone started trying to hit a target as Green Arrow with a type of Telekinesis to simulate trick shots, Danny showed him up.
After getting selected, they started by moving out of his Mom's basement and started grooming him for the role of Green Arrow, including physical fitness training and social grooming.

Two golfing friends were about to tee off, when one fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball.
"Don't you have at least one other ball?", he asked.
"Nope, I only need one ball."
"Are you sure? What happens if you lose that one?"
"This is a very special golf ball. You can't lose it, so I don't need another one."
"What do you mean you can't lose it! What happens if you slice your shot and the ball goes in the lake?"
"That's okay, this special golf ball senses when it's under water and it puts out a steam of bubbles. I'll be able to retrieve it. You can't lose this ball"
"Well what happens if you hit it into the long rough?"
"No problem, you see, this ball can detect the long grass and it sends up puffs of fluorescent smoke. I'll be able to see it easily. You can't lose this ball"
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you hit your ball deep into the trees and it gets lost among the bushes and shrubs?. What are you going to do then?"
"That's okay too. You see, this special ball can sense the darkness and it makes a beeping sound. I'll be able to get it back - no problem."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one amazing golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?"
"I found it."

Treasure Chest Thursday – Collars from Long Ago
This note, written by my great-grandmother, Elvirta Knutz Graves, explains the significance of these collars she had tucked away. The lace collar belonged to her mother, Nettie Lair Graves (1861 – 1935), and the fabric collar belong to Nettie's grandmother, Margaret Coble Nickeson (ca 1803 – 1854).
Margaret Coble Nickeson, owner of the fabric collar, married her husband, Joseph Nickeson, in Franklin county, Ohio in 1819, and in the 1840s they relocated to Peoria county, Illinois with their children. She died in 1854 at the age of 56 in Princeville. Her daughter Margaret Nickeson married Lawson Lair in 1858. They spent the rest of their lives in Princeville, Margaret passing away in 1900 at the age of 59. Their second child was Nettie Lair, owner of the lace collar. Nettie married Tom Graves in 1883 in Princeville, and they remained in that area until 1906, when they moved to Esmond, South Dakota. Their daughter Elivrta married Will Knutz in 1910, in Huron, South Dakota. The collars were eventually given to Virta's daughter Mabel, who passed away last year. I would like to thank my cousins for sending me these, and other, remarkable treasures that their mother had so carefully saved. I am truly blessed and honored to have them.

Hello and welcome to Lavera.com!
As part of our new "Lavera is Truth" campaign, we've completely revamped our website and rolled out a new television ad! It was certainly very exciting and a lot of new firsts for us.
While preparing for the commercial, we surveyed a number of our customers and found that there was a lot of mistrust around the words "natural" and "organic". A number of you ignored those terms completely, and most felt they were simply marketing terms thrown around loosely. As a consequence, most of our customer had actually done a lot of research, either online or by talking to friends and reps at natural product stores.
When I moved from Germany to North America in the late 90's, I noticed quite a difference between the strict European standards and the lenient North American ones. In the past 5 years, there's been an explosion of "green" brands in the marketplace, many containing parabens, PEG's and other unsavory ingredients. Hence its become even more confusing to distinguish between truly natural brands and "pseudo-green" brands.
As consumers today, we have become much more educated about what is good and bad for us, especially for food. It is our goal with the "Lavera is Truth" campaign to get more awareness and education out there about skin care ingredients. We've completely revamped our educational section, and we will be putting more ongoing effort there to put an ingredient dictionary together. Stay tuned and thanks for visiting!

Google Is Charging Advertisers for Fake YouTube Views
Google Is Charging Advertisers for Fake YouTube Views
A research study based out of a Ottawa claims that YouTube has been charging advertisers for YouTube views even when it thinks that the ads were viewed by a robot rather than an actual human.
The research group based out of Ottawa is behind this study. They did an experiment in which they uploaded a video to YouTube and then bought YouTube advertisement targeting those videos. They also went online and bought YouTube views from views providers for the video.
While the YouTube bots viewed two of the videos over 500 times, YouTube's view counter only listed 100 of the views after finding out that a majority were fake.
When they checked there Google's AdWords advertising platform charged for 500 Youtube views.
Google went on to say that they take fake traffic very seriously and have invested a significant amount of money to track this kind of online blackhat views method. They also went on to say that most of the invalid YouTube views traffic are filtered from their systems before advertisers are ever charged.
They claim that while YouTube puts the effort to combat fake youtube views going to videos a substantial number of fake views get passed there system.
It adds that while YouTube's system for detecting fake views significantly outperforms others, it may still be susceptible to simple attacks.
Sometimes YouTube will penalize it's users for buying fake youtube views to their videos. The problem with that is another factor comes into play. People have started buying fake youtube views to their competitors in the hopes of getting that video banned.
YouTube has stopped banning videos recently because of to many complaints from users all over the world asking WHY there videos got banned in the first place. For now, if YouTube suspects that your views are fake they remove SOME of the views, not all.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Triple-crown leader Miguel Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a homer Monday and Detroit clinched the American League Central title with a 6-3 over Kansas City.
Cabrera's solo shot -- his major league-leading 44th of the year -- put the Tigers up 2-0 and triggered a five-run outburst that iced the contest.
Jhonny Peralta also homered and Prince Fielder went 4-for-5 with a run scored, helping the Tigers win a second consecutive crown for the first time since claiming back-to-back AL championships in 1934-35.
Rick Porcello (10-12) allowed one run over five full innings to record the victory, yielding four hits and three walks while fanning three.
Jose Valverde wrapped up division-clinching triumph with his 35th save.
Cabrera's four hits gave him a batting average of .329 -- seven points better than Minnesota's Joe Mauer -- while his league-leading totals of 44 homers and 137 RBI put him on track for baseball's first triple crown since 1967 with two games remaining.
Royals starter Bruce Chen (11-14) was lit up for six runs (two earned) on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Alex Gordon homered for Kansas City.

Gennaro Gattuso parts company with Greek club OFI Crete
Gennaro Gattuso has resigned from his position as coach of Greek club OFI Crete for the second time, although this time he says there will be no going back.
The Italian World Cup winner from 2006 says he "cannot go on any longer" amid a financial crisis at the club which already forced him to tender his resignation in October only to be convinced to remain in charge by the club's fans.
This time, however, nothing will alter the former Palermo and Sion coach's decision.

Toilet Humor: The Onion, America's finest (fake) news source, is in hot water this morning for its vulgar tweet about Beasts of the Southern Wild's adorable star, Best Actress Nominee Quvenzhané Wallis. The offensive tweet has been deleted, but you can see a NSFW screenshot of it here. (The nine-year-old could very well have seen it too; she's on Twitter at @IAMQUVENZHANE.) The satirical website issued an apology Monday morning: "We are taking immediate steps to discipline those individuals responsible. Miss Wallis, you are young and talented and deserve better."

Toilet Trouble: Tears weren't the only thing flowing at the 85th Academy Awards last night: a pipe burst in the Dolby Theatre women's restroom when the mother of Kief Davidson (director of Open Heart, nominated for best documentary short) flushed a toilet, flooding the lobby about thirty minutes before the ceremony began. Davidson's mom was completely drenched. "'The poor woman came out looking like a scene from Carrie,'" Lucy Walker, 2012 Oscar nominee in the same category, told The Wrap. (The Wrap)
Taking Flight: Kristina Reed, producer of Paperman, was escorted out of the ceremony because she was caught throwing paper airplanes from the balcony. She was eventually allowed to return to her seat after receiving a "stern warning." She had reason to be giddy; the black-and-white flick won the Oscar for best animated short film. (Huffington Post)
Wolverine to the Rescue: Silver Linings Playbook and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence showed she was human last night when she accidentally tripped on her way to accept the award for best actress.

Break a Leg: As Kristen Stewart limped on stage to present the award for Best Production Design with Daniel Radcliffe, she looked a little, shall we say, preoccupied. Turns out the Twilight star hurt her foot stepping on broken glass and arrived at the ceremony on crutches.

Radcliffe said he'd considered helping out Stewart, E! reports: "I just wanted to pick her up, put her in my arms and carry her onto the stage," the Harry Potter star said, but "I probably would have dropped her and opened her wound again."

Hashtags supporting the protest were trending on Twitter at the beginning of the Awards. Life of Pi did win an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but the acceptance speech was cut short by the Jaws theme — perhaps to avoid any more discussion about the protest. (Deadline, The Verge)

Today's Philadelphia Inquirer column by former Republican senator Rick Santorum is a shrill rant against the California Supreme Court for its recent ruling allowing gay marriage. Santorum worries about the "future of marriage as the union of husband and wife" and points out that he was "sounding the alarm about marriage" back in 2003.
To underscore his assertion that gay marriage = the collapse of civilization, he points to Norway:
Look at Norway. It began allowing same-sex marriage in the 1990s. In just the last decade, its heterosexual-marriage rates have nose-dived and its out-of-wedlock birthrate skyrocketed to 80 percent for firstborn children. Too bad for those kids who probably won't have a dad around, but we can't let the welfare of children stand in the way of social affirmation, can we?
But what about love? That's the question a student asked this winter when I spoke at Georgetown University.
Is anyone saying same-sex couples can't love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too? Marriage is and always has been more than the acknowledgment of the love between two people.
Conveniently, Santorum gives no sources for his inaccurate statistics. Norway began allowing same-sex civil unions in 1993. But according to M.V. Lee Badgett, an economics professor at the University of Massachusetts, Norway's "big surge" in the nonmarital birth rate occurred in the 1980s, jumping from 16 percent to 39 percent. In the decade after Norway authorized civil unions, the nonmarital birth rate rose only "slightly," and then, "after a couple of years, leveled off at 50 percent." These rates are similar to those in countries without such laws.
Additionally, in a 2006 Wall Street Journal op-ed, William Eskridge, Jr., a Yale professor, and author Darren Spedale found that heterosexual marriage rates have actually risen 12.7 percent in Norway since 1993. Similarly, divorce rates amongst heterosexual couples have fallen 6 percent.

Dr. Malinovskaya presented ultracold quantum research at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics
Dr. Svetlana Malinovskaya, Professor of Physics, presented her innovative work on ultracold dynamics and decoherence at the influential Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) which organized the Program on "Fundamental science and applications of ultracold polar molecules." The research into cold and ultracold molecules is now reaching the forefront of ultracold physics, giving rise to an exciting array of scientific opportunities. Cold and ultracold molecules can be used as a platform for new studies of quantum physics owing to the existence of molecular internal structure combined with exquisite control over ultracold matter. Cold molecules therefore bring together researchers from many, traditionally disjoint, fields in a remarkable synergy of scientific explorations: atomic, molecular, and optical physics, physical chemistry and chemical physics, quantum information science and quantum simulations, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
Sixty-six participants, who included theoretical physicists and other scientists, came from all over the globe to the program and explore new ideas and techniques. For three weeks, Dr. Malinovskaya participated in the workshop on emerging topics in cold and ultracold molecules and their significance to the study of physics. Dr. Malinovskaya presented a seminar where she discussed her new method on cooling internal degrees of freedom in molecules from the Feshabch states using optical frequency combs. The talk is available online.
"Dr. Malinovskaya's pioneering work in low temperature quantum physics is a significant contributor to a world-class research activity at Stevens," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "Her participation at KITP was a collaborative opportunity to advance the science of quantum physics."
Dr. Malinovskaya's work was recently published in the highly esteemed Journal of the Optical Society of America B. At ultracold temperatures, atoms and molecules can form states of matter governed solely by quantum mechanics. Dr. Malinovskaya uses this phenomenon to study important processes like quantum decoherence, a loss of information in a quantum system that creates a major stumbling block in efforts to create ultrafast quantum information transmissions. By studying the movement and interaction of molecules at these ultracold temperatures, Dr. Malinovskaya was able to investigate decoherence and developed a new method to mitigate it using ultrafast optical frequency combs. Optical frequency combs are recognized as a new and unique tool for high precision spectroscopic analysis and studies of ultrafast dynamics in atoms and molecules.
"Research into cold and ultracold molecules is at the forefront of quantum physics, where it is opening up an exciting array of opportunities for new scientific inquiry," says Dr. Malinovskaya. Potential areas of research include: new states of matter, quantum optics, quantum information processing, quantum simulation and precision tests of fundamental physical laws in a new, entirely quantum regime.
Dr. Malinovskaya is chair of the Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Community and conducts research in a wide range of theoretical studies, including chemical physics, quantum optics, quantum control, and nonlinear dynamics. As the director of the Ultrafast Dynamics and Control Theory Group at Stevens, Dr. Malinovskaya focuses on cutting-edge theoretical studies of ultrafast laser pulse interaction with atoms and molecules, designing femtosecond pulses with particular spectral properties to control molecular dynamics. She also investigates ultrafast molecular dynamics and the impact of fast decoherence in stimulated Raman scattering and CARS microspectroscopy.
"The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics hosts extensive programs and conferences to bring together researchers from traditionally disparate fields," says Dr. Rainier Martini, Director of the Physics and Engineering Physics Department. "Only the most respected scientists are invited to speak at KITP, which is a testament to Dr. Malinovskaya's excellent work."
About the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics
The mission of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology is to provide a world-class scientific research and academic environment that fosters creation of new knowledge while educating and inspiring students at all levels as well as motivating faculty and support staff, to acquire, use, and advance the competencies needed to lead in scientific discovery and in the creation, application and management of technology to solve complex problems, invent new processes and products, and build new enterprises. The program has a strong focus on interdisciplinary projects and effectively combines classroom instruction with hands-on experience in state-of-the-art research laboratories. The Department has broad research programs, with special emphasis on the fields of atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO), photonics technology, quantum optics, and quantum information science.

Best Chili Burgers in Seoul at Chili King
Note: South Korea-based food blogger Daniel Gray of Seoul Eats sent in this report about the best chili burger in Seoul. He has more info about the man behind the chili at his blog. Take it away, Dan!
Kevin Cyr's chili burger at Chili King is like a mining excavation. You get a mountainous hamburger dripping with golden cheese over boulders of kidney beans, green jalapeños, and rubble-like ground beef. This mountain could be intimidating for some, so let me give you some advice.
1. First, use your fork to get through the mounds of chili. The chili, with the flavors of onion, peppers, and spices married together after slowly simmering in crock pot for hours, is exceptional.
2. If the fork becomes too heavy, you can use the french fries to pick through the chili.
3. Once you get to sesame-speckled bun, grab hold with both hands and don't let go until you finish. This is a burger that needs to be wrangled.
I can say, without doubt, that Chili King has the best chili burger in Seoul. They also have excellent chili-dogs, and chili fries. So is this place a one trick pony? Not quite. Kevin is an architect that likes to build his burgers—take the ranch jalapeño burger for example. The cool, homemade ranch dressing offsets the spice and then melts into the sizable all-beef patty. There is also a bacon cheddar burger for those looking for something more traditional. And we can't forget about the "Big Kev" burger,which has two beef patties, provolone and cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce. You can even add chili for ₩1,000. Afterward, Kevin will personally drive you to the hospital for a bypass.
If burgers aren't your thing, Chili King has chicken club sandwiches and East Coast-style Canadian donair with a sweet garlic sauce. All of the sandwiches come with fries and homemade coleslaw. Burgers start at ₩8,900 and you can get the "Big Kev" for ₩11,900. Honestly, this guy is charging too little for his gourmet burgers, so check it out before he wises up.
Chili King
010 6873 1304 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. Closed on Tuesday because the King goes to Three Alley Pub to have wings. Directions: Go out Exit 1 of Itaewon Station and make the second right. You'll see "Pacific Shopping," and OK2 Kitchen. Go up the hill about 200 meters and you'll see Chili King on the left.

In a sport of a different stripe, batting .500 is outta this world.
So Ill take what I can get.
Your Gridiron Guru went 2-of-4 in last weekends wild-card games, as I got blindsided by Bengals and frisked by a Flacco.
Looking back, I wasnt tricked by the Texans Cincinnati simply was even worse than I gave them credit for. Arian Foster made the Bengals supposedly staunch defense look silly in what was the only pretty aspect of an otherwise very unpretty game. Andy Dalton was ugliest of all: Three yards in a half? Wheres Tim Tebow when you need him?
Now, Baltimores Joe Flacco was a surprise. The return of Ray Lewis to the Ravens lineup provided an emotional jolt that made Chuckstrong look pretty weak, and even Flacco seemed to get into the mood, throwing for 282 yards and two touchdowns without a single turnover. The 125.6-passer-rating Joe isnt the one I know. That pick Id make, again.
In fact, I will:
Saturday, Jan. 12
Baltimore at Denver, 2:30 p.m. (KCNC, KREZ) Flacco vs. Manning doesnt exactly conjure visions of great quarterback duels of yore. This is where the real Flacco stands back up. You know, the one last seen in Denver lying face-down on the turf as Chris Harris sped by for a pick-6. If Baltimore has any hope at bucking the Broncos, it will come from the powerful legs of Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce, who chugged to 103 yards last weekend. But Denvers defense has a lot more horsepower than a Colt. Meanwhile, Lewis got the home send-off that he wanted, but the final-season fairy tale cant last when another glove sighting proves that its hard to hang with the Broncos when youre a mile high with Peyton Manning in Colorado. Pick: Broncos 33-19. Line: Broncos by 8½.
Green Bay at San Francisco, 6 p.m. (KOBF, KUSA) Aaron Rodgers seems to be more machine now than man, twisted and evil if you ask Vikings fans. The Packs quarterback simply cant be stopped. If anything can slow him down, though, its the 49ers defense if it shows up for the full 60. Still, a slower Rodgers aint no Flacco, so the Niners had better keep the hyperdrive humming, too. Week 1 is a long time ago in a memory far, far away at this point. Colin Kaepernick now leads San Franciscos quest to become one with Lombardi Trophy, adding an extra twist to an already quirky offense that has shown it can pack a punch. The 49ers cannot escape their destiny, so if Im a cheesehead, Ive got a bad feeling about this. Pick: 49ers 32-30. Line: 49ers by 3.
Sunday, Jan. 13
Seattle at Atlanta, 11 a.m. (KASA) Weve all seen what happens to Matty Ice when that postseason heat cranks up. Seattle has the cornerback chops to keep Atlantas Julio Jones and Roddy White flying circles, which figures to make Matt Ryan melt. Again. The Falcons arent ready for the rolling Russell Wilson, and the Seahawks are set to prove theyre the baddest birds in the NFL. Pick: Seahawks 24-20. Line: Falcons by 3.
Houston at New England, 2:30 p.m. (KCNC, KREZ) in Week 14, the Patriots turned Schaub into a schlub in Foxborough. This week, more of the same. Houston will have to rely on its defense to keep the game close, but with with a veritable and versatile arsenal of weapons, Tom Brady wont have much trouble ending the Texans one-game not-losing streak with alacrity. Plus: Houston, prepare to get Gronked. Pick: Patriots 38-23.Line: Patriots by 9½.

Those who watch my Twitter stream closely may understand that I cycle through two very different approaches to the night - either I stay awake "working" through the dark hours, fighting my way, or I hide as I did as kid, still mostly awake, just waiting for dawn when sleep can come...
Anyway, that's not the point...
But awake one late night I watched The Story of Louis Pasteur on Turner Classic Movies. And in that movie I realized something - that it took Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister forty years to convince the world's doctors to wash their hands. This seems - to us, as it did to Pasteur and Lister - a tiny thing with huge results, patients stopped dying at a 50% rate from infections, but it was massive because it threatened the entire self-image of the doctors. In order for the doctors to make this change - in order for them to stop killing half their patients - they had to admit that they were not quite the "healers" they imagined themselves to be. And the doctors of the 19th Century couldn't quite get there...
|Joseph Lister explains the whole germ-infection thing...
And the result is... we are "killing" kids - both figuratively and literally.
Educators get caught in an awful "Anti-Virtuous" Cycle. So many did well in traditional schools for very traditional reasons. They were born to wealth and privilege, or they were born to educationally successful families. And/or, they simply are the kind of student "school" - that culture of compliance and passivity - enables.
Then, because "school" worked for them, they stayed in school - many teachers have never been anywhere else since heading off to nursery school/preschool: Primary, Secondary, University, Graduate School, Working in School, it is all they know, and they only know the schools they have succeeded in.
Thus, they mimic the teachers who honored them, and then... surprise, surprise... the kids who succeed in their classrooms, in their school buildings, are the kids most like them. This is powerful reinforcement, it ensures these educators that their life's successes are not the accidents of privilege but are because of their inherent superiority.
|"It worked for me..."
That's a big deal...
And it is a horribly destructive deal, just as the self-image of those ancient doctors was so destructive.
So we need to decide... who is more important in education? The kids or the recalcitrant teachers?
Because if we are going to move from replicators to design thinkers, we must move our focus from the needs of those who work in schools to the needs of those for whom schools exist. And beyond that, if we are to succeed where we have not, we must begin to see and understand that "user experience" of school from the perspective of those students for whom it is not working.
That's "design think." When Ford Motor Company decided to become truly competitive in the United States they really began to look at the choices made by all those who did not buy their cars. They focused on their "users," their customers, and they tossed out virtually every old management structure. Compare a 1995 Escort and a 2012 Focus, and you'll see the difference. They knew they had to win back all those who had walked away from their products... and we, in education, must win back all of those who - quite logically - walk away from our "product," literally and figuratively, every day. Just as General Motors spent years in denial, pretending they built cars people wanted, our schools live in denial, claiming that "there's something wrong" with all those kids who won't bother to pick up the passive parcels of knowledge we dump on their mental doorstep. Because we are so often part of that one third that waited for those parcels back in our day, we never stop to imagine why anyone wouldn't grab it.
So, here's the beginning... I am not going to pick on teachers or the teaching profession because I believe it to be the most important job in the world. But I am going to say that teachers must learn every day, from brain research, from observation, from great practitioners. And that learning must change their practice every day, otherwise, they are simply not demonstrating their learning.
And I will say that teacher excuses, "I don't have the time," "I'm busy," "I don't get paid enough for this," "We tried this before and it didn't work," can only be used by teachers who consistently accept those excuses from their students.
I understand - even if I don't really - that it is very hard to be told that you've been doing a "not very good" job. I don't really understand because people have told me that pretty much all my life. So, its ok... my goal is to keep changing every day so I do it better. But if you've never heard that before, I'm going to imagine that it's devastating. Maybe almost as devastating as it is to be student in a school which pays no attention to how you learn and what you need.
"Scientists are now discovering massive structural changes in the adolescent brain through extensive functional MRI scans, changes that apparently shake the internal mechanisms of a teenage brain to its roots. If this is true – and all the signs suggest that it is – these must be seen as essential evolutionary adaptations that ensure the survival of the human race by forcing teenagers to break away from their parents and teachers. "Get off my back," adolescents down the ages have pleaded. "Leave me alone. Give me space." Adolescence is about growing up and no longer thinking like a child. It's about ceasing to be a clone. Sitting still (if only for part of the time!) may be an appropriate learning environment for the pre-pubescent child, but it is largely inappropriate for adolescents, whose biological pre-dispositions, we now know, urge them to find out things for themselves.
"And here is the crux of the present advanced world's dilemma. Little more than 100 years ago, American psychologists started to define this rebelliousness of adolescence as a disease, an aberration that made teenagers a threat to themselves. Psychologists and educational bureaucrats alike concluded that something had to be done to prevent teenagers from threatening the carefully controlled world that teachers had created.
"Educational administrators saw only one answer to this problem: put adolescents into school for longer and longer, and give them so much studying to do that they wouldn't have the time or energy to question what an adult society was actually doing to them.
"We're still doing this today. Policymakers, with little background in the neurological processes, expected that, by the age of 22 or 23, the next generation of young people would have been "broken in" to the currently defined way of doing things. Their thinking resembled that of horse breeders who, until very recently, thought it necessary to break in a young foal after it had run relatively wild for two years. Now horse breeders carefully study the temperament of every foal, and then define unique training programs that build upon what each can do naturally. Human adolescents crave and deserve no less. Deep down, there stirs within them the urge to climb the mountains of the mind and see what possibilities lie before them; they are innately "big picture" thinkers and frequently upset older generations by questioning the compromised lives so many of us lead. That is their nature; it is what their brains have evolved to do. It is the apparently unreasonable dreams of adolescence that, years later, drive the progress of what we are proud to call our civilization. It has always been so." - Education Canada

18th Annual Domras Cup Mead Competition - Feb 6 - Savannah, GA
In a few days the registration page will be opening for the Domras Cup Mead Competition. In its 18th year, the event should be bigger and better than ever continuing at our new venue on the marsh, an expanded oyster roast/low country boil, entertainment, and of course lots of mead to judge. Please pass this on to any fellow mead lovers.
18th Annual Domras Cup Mead Competition
Competition Date: Saturday, February 6, 2015.
Entry window: January 4 to January 28, 2015.
We are now part of the East Coast Meadmakers Alliance competition series (https://www.facebook.com/East-Coast-...57729/?fref=ts) and the Southeastern Homebrewers Association competition series (https://www.facebook.com/groups/541112192714779/ ). A donation will be made to the Ronald McDonald house from the proceeds.
Why enter?
We have a core group of certified mead judges to provide great feedback on your mead. Any size bottle is acceptable (meads will be served blind by our experienced stewards). We know your mead is a precious thing. You can send any number of bottles you want, but we do recommend a minimum of one 750ml, two of anything else (10-16 oz.), and two if carbonated to ensure a fresh bottle for the BOS round. Ribbons and lots of great prizes - from the Savannah Bee Company (can you say 100 lbs of regional honey!), several commercial meaderies, and Savannah Homebrew Shoppe. The cost is $8 per entry.
Why join us?
We can use certified judges and mead aficionados for judging and stewarding. We have a dozen local certified mead judges, but always need help. Each volunteer will get an etched Domras wine tasting glass or some other local swag. Drawings for a door prize or two will be in order. Breakfast will be available before we start and snacks in between. Immediately following judging, we hold our epic post-party and oyster roast that is a time not to be missed, so if interested in helping to judge or steward, please sign up on the registration page and come join us. We generally try to finish in one round though a few folks may have to do two smaller rounds. BOS should start by early afternoon.
At this point we dont have plans for drop-off locations (except locally). If entries are registered and paid for and at proper condition, however, we can accept the entries the morning of the competition if someone is planning to come judge from another area. Just let us know in advance to discuss any special arrangements needed. Registration will be open through January 28. Unless you are bringing your entries (and have made arrangements for such), all entries should be delivered by the 28th.
For more information please visit the SBL website at http://www.savannahbrewers.com/domrascup.php . The direct link to the Domras Cup on-line registration page is http://domras.homebrewcomp.com
As we say, we're only second oldest, not nearly the largest, but we think we are the funnest mead-only competition in the world.

In order to complete registration on the registration page, you can just insert 00000 for a zip code and choose any state. This will allow you to complete registration. If you can provide an address with your shipped entries, we will be sure to get you any ribbons, etc. to you. We've received international entries in the past, but appears to be a new glitch with our updated registration software. We're also still checking out the international paypal options for payment. I can't recall there being issues in past years. We'll keep you posted as we move through this. Thanks!
Working good now, only like 50 spots left, maybe somebody drop a BOMM in there, WVMJ

I want to say thanks and a great job to the Got Mead staff (Vicky, AJ & Petar!) for the Got Mead podcast yesterday talking with Mike Tripka and highlighting the Domras Cup. Mike mentioned due to our registration page being down at various times over the past 2 weeks, we have extended the entry window to Jan 31st. We have a record number of entries, but a few more are welcome!

Is there a link to the podcast? WVMJ
Any GotMeaders attending in Savannah?
I tried to post a thank you over on the SBL site but my registration failed.
These guys know how to throw a party. From the breakfast burritos, pizza, chicken wings, salads, homebrews, to the oysters (and it IS epic), low country boil, etc, etc. And oh yeah, then there was the 140 meads. The food and drink was only surpassed by the hospitality and generosity of the entire group. A hearty Thank You goes out.
KC did you get to help judge? WVMJ
No I didn't, it was the first comp I ever went to and I volunteered to steward to get my feet wet.
I did manage to sneak a sip (or two) of yours at the afterparty though. Good Stuff!
Has anyone gotten their notes from the comp yet? WVMJ

$A up as US data continues to disappoint
The Australian dollar is gaining ground, as more weak economic data raises the possibility that the US Federal Reserve will have to maintain its economic stimulus program.
At 1700 AEST on Friday, the local unit was trading at 94.36 US cents, up from 94.12 cents on Thursday.
During the local session the currency peaked at 94.42 US cents, its highest level since Monday.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic growth, rose by 0.2 per cent in May.
It adds to the gloomy picture for the US after figures earlier in the week showed that economy in the first three months of the year shrunk 2.9 per cent.
RBC senior currency strategist Sue Trinh said the US dollar continued its fall on the back of the spending figures which helped boost most other currencies.
"Grinding US dollar weakness remains the dominant theme," she said.
"After a week of disappointing headline US data, there is one last hurdle to overcome before the week's end, with the final June reading of the University of Michigan Confidence index."
FXCM market analyst David de Ferranti said Tuesday's Reserve Bank of Australia board meeting will be important for the Australian dollar.
All but two of the 16 economist surveyed by AAP say the RBA will keep the cash rate unchanged for the remainder of the year.
However Mr de Ferranti said investors will be focused on the bank's statement for signs of how soon it will raise the cash rate.
At 1700 AEST, the Australian dollar was at 95.65 Japanese yen, down from Thursday's close of 95.78 yen, and at 69.21 euro cents, up from 69.02 euro cents.
Meanwhile, Australian bond futures prices are higher.
Economic figures out on Thursday showed Japan's inflation rate slowed slightly in May, in line with the Bank of Japan's view that the pace of price growth will ease before picking up again later in the year.
CMC Markets chief market strategist Michael McCarthy was surprised that the local bond market strengthened after the Japanese inflation figures.
He said it might suggest that investors are squaring up their books - moving to safe haven investments - ahead of the end of the financial year.
"And it's not impossible that the weaker than expected US GDP (gross domestic product) data this week is still having an impact on global bond markets," Mr McCarthy said.
At 1630 AEST on Friday, the September 2014 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.450 (implying a yield of 3.550 per cent), up from 96.400 (3.600 per cent) on Thursday.
The September 2014 three-year bond futures contract was at 97.320 (2.680 per cent), up from 97.290 (2.710 per cent).

Wow, didn't expect Kuwait or Turkmenistan. Kuwait have been poor in recent years and it is hard to see why they want to play in the IHWC. Perhaps it's just a warm up for the CCoA. Turkmenistan seem to be ambitious and did well at the AWG. I'd expected them to play in the CCoA and sort out any IIHF eligibility issues before entering the IHWC.
Pity about Bosnia, perhaps they could get some sort of event organised with Macedonia, Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Money and an ice pad would be big problems though !

What is the idea behind this? Classic sequential turbo setups in the past had a small turbo and a big turbo working in concert with the small turbo helping reduce lag before the big turbo got going and took over. The idea will be similar here.
You can have a small motor with a large turbocharger and reduce the lag issue significantly with the E-Turbo getting things going in the low rpm range:

Keep in mind the primary goal here is an efficiency gain and the E-Turbo goal is to improve emissions and fuel economy by 20%+ without a performance penalty.
Garrett illustrates the key points here:
Will we see a benefit in enthusiast cars and sports cars? Probably not initially as the mainstream application is for mass market passenger vehicles. The performance applications will come in time.
