I used this book during my Thermal Phisics course
at Berkeley, and it was great. The derivations are
concise and the explanations are thorough. I
really enjoyed the excersises in this book as
well, they follow the subject matter of each
chapter very well, elucidating many of the

We used this text for our Stat Mech course and I really like
it. It can be a little dense in some places, but overall it's
readable and just about the right level of difficulty for a
senior physics course. There are many excellent problems
included. Definitely a worthwhile investment...
Still a classic

Rarely does a senior professor encounter a text that still works after the test of many years. Kittel's Thermal Physics is such a work. The fundamentals are clearly presented, the problems are still relavant, and students find the book very readable.

FRITZ!Box reports "Dynamic DNS: Account temporarily disabled"
The dynamic DNS account you configured in the FRITZ!Box cannot be successfully registered with your dynamic DNS provider. The message "Dynamic DNS [...] Status: account temporarily disabled" is displayed on the overview page of the FRITZ!Box user interface. One of the following error messages may be displayed in the event log of the FRITZ!Box:
- "Dynamic DNS error: Dynamic DNS update is disabled until the dynamic DNS account information is changed."
- "Dynamic DNS error: The DynDNS provider reports error 401 - bad authorization."
- When errors indicating a permanent error with a dynamic DNS account occur, the FRITZ!Box disables the account according to the specifications of the dynamic DNS provider. Such errors include a missing public IP address, incorrect account information, or numerous registration attempts from different dynamic DNS clients. The account remains disabled until you re-enter the registration data in the FRITZ!Box.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Checking whether a public IP address was obtained
You can only use a dynamic DNS service and access the FRITZ!Box from the internet if the FRITZ!Box obtains a public IPv4 address when it connects to the internet:
Note:If your internet connection was already switched over to the Internet Protocol v6 (IPv6) and your dynamic DNS provider supports it, then the FRITZ!Box also transmits an IPv6 address to the dynamic DNS service.
- Check the address range of the IPv4 address that the internet service provider assigned to the FRITZ!Box.
Important:When used on an internet connection with DS-Lite tunnel, the FRITZ!Box is only accessible over IPv6 and not over IPv4. If a DS-Lite tunnel is enabled, this is displayed under "Connections" on the "Overview" page of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- If the FRITZ!Box obtained a public IPv4 address, proceed with the following section.
- If the FRITZ!Box obtained a private IPv4 address, you cannot use a dynamic DNS service and access the FRITZ!Box from the internet.
2 Disabling other dynamic DNS clients
Errors occur if several devices transmit their IP address to the same dynamic DNS account. Therefore, make sure that the dynamic DNS account is only configured in the FRITZ!Box:
- Disable or delete the dynamic DNS account configured in the FRITZ!Box in all devices except for the FRITZ!Box, for example other routers, computers with DynDNS software, or NAS systems.
3 Re-entering the dynamic DNS account information
- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Permit Access" in the "Internet" menu.
- Click on the "DynDNS" tab.
- In the "Domain name" field, enter the complete domain name, for example mydomain.dyndns.com. Refer to the dynamic DNS provider for information on the format.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Now the FRITZ!Box transmits its current IP address to the dynamic DNS provider each time it connects to the internet.
4 Contacting your provider
If the dynamic DNS account configured in the FRITZ!Box is still disabled, then the account information is incorrect or the dynamic DNS provider may be experiencing technical difficulties:
- Contact your dynamic DNS provider for a solution.

Lawmakers Join Chorus Protesting Fairview Takeover
ST. PAUL (AP) - Two lawmakers are joining a growing tide of officials pressuring to keep University of Minnesota hospitals in the state's hands.
Rep. Joe Atkins and Rep. Dan Schoen, both Democrats from the Twin Cities area, introduced bills Monday that would block any entity from outside the state from taking control of the school's hospitals.
South Dakota-based Sanford Health's discussions of acquiring Fairview Health Services, one of the state's largest hospital systems, have raised concerns since those talks came to light late last month. Attorney General Lori Swanson pressed Sanford to explain its motive and how a takeover would impact the state's health care at a public hearing Sunday.
The two bills are expected to be discussed next week. The university has proposed its own takeover to pre-empt Sanford's move.

And I agree with Anahi, English is an easier language to learn (easier than German). Just for the record (I said it before): I'm from Austria.
I always had the impression that people from Ireland and GB don't think of themselves as European that much. Saying things like "the Europeans" (but not including themselves) or "the people from the continent"... Is that impression correct or just a prejudice? Or just a charming eccentricity?

Back to top veiledsentimentsJoined: 20 Feb 2003Posts: 17608Location: USA Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 2:32 pm Post subject: In the Gulf, you need to look at the full pay package. A salary may look large until you realize the cost of living. The better jobs provide free furnished housing, all flights paid, medical coverage and such. You should be eligible for the middle tier employers (the best require an MA or education certification in your country). My best advice is to spend some time reading around here in the boards about the different employers. Unless you have some particular reason for wanting Qatar, I would expand my search to the rest of the Gulf countries. Qatar is rather small and thus has fewer opportunities than in places like the Emirates or Oman. VS Back to top QatarChicJoined: 06 May 2005Posts: 445Location: Qatar Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 3:14 pm Post subject: Good advice (as always ) from VS. Have they offered you a job kerryn? Bell is new here and they started recruiting from around June. Pay is from around 9-11000 (I think) and they offer furnished accomodation, however most if not all of the teaching is in the evening. They were however only offering one year contracts- so this may be good if you are considering getting some experience in the Gulf. As Bell is still new here in Qatar- I don't know how things are going there so can't comment (maybe someone else reading the forum might want to add something here?)

Make sure any job offer includes accom,health and travel.Also check the bonus scheme offered by your employer; this will be different to what the Qatari Min of Ed also pays to ex-pats who complete their contracts. Some possible schools to search for: Newton International School(newish) The Cambridge School Qatar International School Gulf English School American School of Doha American Academy School If you are a trained and internationally qualified to teach you should look at salaries starting at 10,000riyal;including accom/health/flights.Anything lower and you'll be selling yourself short.I did!!! I worked for The International School of Chouiefat. The pay was low 6,900riyal in my 2nd year:-( (compared to the schools mentioned);the accomodation revolting and the mgmnt attitude to their (non-lebanese)ex-pat staff is extremely poor. Qatar is now the most expensive gulf state in terms of cost of living.Still; you can have a good standard of living on a salary over 10,000riyal and even save! There are also plenty of opportunities to private-tutor at approx 150.00riyal an hour;only it could cost you your job if you got caught! Check your contract and suss out your collegues to get the lay of the land on that one:-) I personally would return to Qatar...just not to the school I originally worked for!

In the late hours of Aug. 5, the next Mars rover, Curiosity, will begin its seven-minute descent from the top of the Martian atmosphere to the planet's red, dusty surface.
Once landed -- assuming the heat shield separates, the parachute deploys and the thrusters fire -- the six-wheeled, SUV-sized, long-armed rolling robot will begin exploring the Martian landscape using its suite of onboard instruments, including the Radiation Assessment Detector, or RAD.
RAD is designed to allow a team of scientists, led by Boulder's Don Hassler, to measure the surface radiation on Mars, information that will be critically important for any future human expeditions to the planet.
"Radiation is one of the top five problems we need to understand in order to send humans to Mars or out into deep space," said Hassler, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder.
The data collected by RAD will also help scientists better understand how the radiation bombarding Mars might shape the possibility of life on the red planet.
"One of the things our instrument will do is tell us how deep life will have to be below the surface to survive the radiation," Hassler said.
That information could guide any future efforts to drill into the planet's surface in search of life.
Hassler is a veteran of measuring space radiation, but RAD is unique because of its mass. Normally, an instrument with the capabilities that RAD has -- to measure both charged and neutral particles -- would weigh at least 10 pounds and maybe as much as 30. But RAD weighs just three pounds, which allowed the instrument to fit onboard Curiosity and also opens the door to a similar instrument flying on a number of future weight-constrained missions to the moon or to other planets.
And while Curiosity is still more than a month away from its date with the surface of Mars, RAD has already taken six months' worth of measurements as it travels through space. For that journey, RAD, and the rest of the rover, is cocooned in the belly of the spacecraft.
"Curiosity is nestled inside its spacecraft, just like a real astronaut would be," Frank Cucinotta, chief scientist for NASA's Space Radiation Program at the Johnson Space Center, said when RAD was turned on 10 days after launch. "RAD will give us an idea of the kind of radiation a human can expect to absorb during a similar trip to Mars."
And it's been an eventful trip so far. As Curiosity has flown toward Mars, the sun has been especially active, throwing off a handful of intense flares -- and the radiation that goes with them.
During one of the largest flares, which erupted in early March, the dose of radiation measured by RAD was close to the lifetime dose limits for an astronaut, even with all the shielding, Hassler said, meaning that more protection is likely needed for a spacecraft carrying a human.
Once RAD has made it to the surface of Mars, it will continue to gauge radiation levels, taking measurements each hour and downloading the information to Earth once a day.
"If a flare goes off, and you have astronauts on the surface, you want to understand what the effect may be," Hassler said.

Okay, i have a question. My driveway has a curb at the entrance and i'm suddenly wondering if the Fr-s can even go over this curb.
The specs say the Fr-s has 4.9 inches of clearance while the Tc (What i'm currently driving) has 5.2 inches of clearance. What i don't understand is those numbers though. I measured on my Tc from the ground to the bottom of the front bumper where the guard is and i measured nearly 8 inches and on the Fr-s i measured 6.25 inches.
Where are they getting these number on the specification for these two vehicles?

Of all the fascinating accounts of the financial crisis that have come out in recent years, Sheila Bair's Bull by the Horns has to be one of the most astonishing.
Bair headed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from 2006 to 2011, during which time she played a leading role in coping with the unfolding disaster as well as reforming the system. The FDIC is responsible for preventing bank runs in the United States by insuring bank deposits, supervising risk-taking, and cleaning up failing banks.
Bair's known for taking a no-nonsense approach to dealing with Wall Street. She currently chairs the Systemic Risk Council, an independent, nonpartisan group that includes Paul Volcker, Simon Johnson, Jeremy Grantham, Jack Reed, and reform-minded financial experts.
Bull by the Horns ruthlessly explores the crisis and its aftermath. Nearly every page reveals something astonishing about our financial and political systems.
Here are just a few of the intriguing bits:
"Bailing out the boneheads"
A big chunk of the book covers what Bair describes as incompetence by many of the people running our largest banks, and the largesse policymakers lavished on them during bailouts.
Bair characterizes Citigroup's (NYSE:C) management as "bungling", its then-CEO Vikram Pandit an inexperienced banker, a "poor choice ... a hedge fund manager by occupation and one with a mixed record." Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) then-CEO Ken Lewis exhibited poor deal-making skills, overpaying for Countrywide and Merrill Lynch. And Merrill Lynch then-CEO John Thain? He drops the first question in the bailout briefing: Will there be limits on executive bonuses?
But Bair reserves her harshest criticism for fellow (de)regulatory heads -- John Dugan, John Reich, and especially Timothy Geithner -- for going too easy on the banks. During the go-go days, they were eager to let banks ratchet up risky behavior. During the bailout, Bair portrays Geithner as eager to extend generous bailouts with few strings attached. In Bull by the Horns, he pushes for the teetering Citigroup to acquire Wachovia instead of the much stronger Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) so as to get the FDIC to ensure Citigroup's loans. He tries to water down key financial reforms such as the Volcker Rule and tougher capital cushion standards with mixed success.
Bair takes pains to point out that these examples of deregulation and bank-coddling aren't due to corruption per se, but stem from a common worldview: banking "self-regulation" works better than correct incentives and real regulatory oversight, and the preservation and profitability of our megainstitutions trump other concerns.
Forestalling disaster
One of the key reasons the American financial system is in so much better shape than Europe's today is that European banks, if it can be believed, took on even more debt than ours did. While we tend to think of the 30 times leverage U.S. investment banks like Lehman Brothers took on as Exhibit A in a bygone age of stupidity, it was common for European banks to use as much as 50 times leverage. (Barclays (NYSE:BCS), Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) still carry more than 25 times leverage.)
In 2004, during a period of prevailing deregulatory fervor, bank regulators came to the "Basel II" international framework that said banks should be allowed to use their own models to figure out how much capital they would need to set aside in case things went bad. Because more leverage means higher profits for banks but more risk, banks obviously decided to use too much leverage.
Bair describes how, with a little help from Ben Bernanke, the FDIC was able to continue slow-walking the implementation of Basel II. Looking back, it's astonishing that even in 2006, on the doorstep of the largest financial crisis in generations, banks like Washington Mutual (which two years later would become the largest bank failure in U.S. history) were aggressively trying to increase risk-taking. FDIC figures showed that big banks might have released a whopping quarter of their safety cushion if Basel II had gone into effect.
Bair's account adds new color to then-Citigroup CEO Charles Prince's infamous 2007 comment, "As long as the music is playing you've got to get up and dance. We're still dancing."
Turning around the FDIC
Pretty much every FDIC employee I've spoken with agrees that Bair turned the place around. How she managed to do so provides an important lesson in management for managers and investors alike.
The key, as she told me and described in her book, was restoring a sense of purpose. People at the FDIC needed to know that management supported them, and they needed objective incentivized goals such as bonuses for making sure that every failing bank would be open for business the next day after the FDIC took over.
"Stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickel"
In 2010, the "robo-signing" scandal shined a public spotlight on some of the damaging conflicts of interest in today's banking world. Under the old model whereby lenders held onto mortgages, banks might save quite a bit of money by modifying troubled mortgages rather than foreclosing on homeowners. But today, the banks that service mortgages don't always have skin in the game for loans that have been pooled, sliced up, and sold to investors. Unfortunately, that means it's sometimes more cost-effective for banks to needlessly foreclose on struggling homeowners rather than modify their loans, even in cases where both homeowners and investors would be better off.
Bair describes efforts to fix the problem dating as far back as 2007, which suggests that such conflicts of interest may have been a massively underappreciated cause of the financial crisis. She also describes how the conflicts of interest run even deeper than the servicing level, with some investors actually threatening to sue servicers for trying to save them money by rehabilitating bad loans. Why? Investors who had bought the top slice of pools of loans were protected under a mass foreclosure scenario because they'd only lose money if more than 20% or 30% of mortgages defaulted.
It's an underappreciated example of how poor market incentives, conflicts of interest, and shortsightedness helped to undermine the financial system.
The most astonishing thing
I asked Bair what she thought was the most surprising thing about her time at the FDIC. She gave an interesting two-part response:
How bad it got. We didn't have the information that we needed. That's why it's good the Dodd-Frank financial reform law gave the FDIC backup regulatory authority for large banks.
Also the response was so ad-hoc. Policymakers were too reluctant to let the banks take any pain.... I never saw any good analysis on who Bear Stearns' counterparties were and why they needed to be bailed out in that way. [JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) received federal assistance to acquire Bear Stearns.] Why couldn't AIG's (NYSE:AIG) counterparties take a 10% haircut? Why did we have to pay those AIG derivatives employees their $165 million retention bonuses -- did we really want to keep those guys?
To this I think it's fair to add the astonishing lack of thoughtfulness and introspection on the part of the crowd which thinks that what's best in the short term for Wall Street is what's best for America, a sentiment that -- believe it or not -- is still all-too-common in New York and Washington. You'd think the financial crisis would have laid bare that Wall Street needs a fundamental transformation of incentives and meaningful, clear rules banning socially dubious practices that put our entire economy at risk.
But learning from the crisis is still a work in progress. Exhibit A: Only about one-third of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act has actually been implemented by regulators more than two years after the law's passage. That's because Wall Street and its allies are fighting tooth and nail to carve out exemptions from any rule that could possibly impinge on the profitability of the largest banks.
The result is a series of unnecessarily complex, difficult to navigate rules that may or may not get the job done, whereas in many cases, simple, straightforward rules could be effective. For example, if it's very difficult to craft a perfect ban on speculation that still permits hedging risk, then in addition to a ban, as Bair puts it, "don't let banks pay derivatives managers who are supposed to be only making hedges bonuses for their trading profits."
The American pragmatist philosopher William James noted that in certain cases where we're forced to make a timely judgment, endless nitpicking itself "is attended with the same risk of losing truth." Regulators and investors alike have to form judgments about complex phenomena based on imperfect evidence. The trick to making good choices is to also consider what happens when you're wrong, because that's going to happen sometimes.
In the case of financial reform, regulators, bankers, politicians, and society should be asking themselves, is the monumental complexity of our largest banks so socially valuable that we really need to gamble another financial crisis over hair-splitting the perfect rule? Maybe it's better -- as Bair thinks it is -- to cut the financial system's Gordian knot with clean, simple rules that are easy to enforce.

I bought this primarily for the Splicers information. The additional classes covered are interesting, but might be a bit difficult to use in actual game play. The Gardener OCC is designed for fortifying a location against the Machine by plucking and planting plant-based Biotech defenses in the ground, but while mention is made of what they need to do to raise the plants to full maturity (skill roll once per day) I didn't see anything indicating how long this actually takes per day. If it takes hours, then they could only tend a couple of plants if they want to to reach full maturity, but if it takes minutes they could tend many, or they could be much further apart. Also, rolling once per day when most of the plants take several weeks to reach full maturity means you will likely fail at least a few times, and each time you fail, you have to roll another (different) skill check, and if you make that one then you get to roll the best two out of three on the first check to recover. Again, no explanation for how long this takes. And if you fail the plant will never reach maturity. I'm not sure how any of the plants every would reach maturity this way. Even if you had a 90% skill (not likely!) if a plants takes 10 rolls you only have a 34% chance to make every one of them, and that's a remarkably low number of rolls to need to make. You could need far more than 30 in some cases. If you have around 50% (possible at first level) you have not realistic chance to raise anything to maturity. And the actual plants themselves have some really annoying rules, like this plants gets 3d6 branches and each branch has 3d4 of this fruit on them, etc. I really like the concept, but the crunchy bits needed to be thought out a little more. I still liked it simply for the ideas it presents, even if I don't think the actual OCC would be much fun to play.
Then there are a couple of additional classes, from a sort of bizzaro Saint that is interesting and flavorful (hurts rather than heals) to the Geneticists that do the actual grunt work around the genepools, from taking care of the young host armors and mounts until they are ready to be used in the field, to modifying biotech to come up with alternate designs and mods. They get pets in the form of failed (as in not quite right, but not truly useless) host armors that they can modify to do their bidding and act as test beds for experiments. They don't get host armors, so I'm not sure I'd want to play one as my primary character, but they could be very interesting in the right setting, or as an alternate for for a Dreadguard.

Madonna accused of copying merchandise designs
Field, who also worked on TV series Ugly Betty and won an Oscar nomination for the costumes she put together for hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, has set up a self-titled clothing and accessories line and owns a boutique store in New York City.
The super-stylist's employees have now accused pop singer Madonna of copying one of her designs for merchandise sold on her recently completed MDNA world tour.
A post on Field's official Tumblr.com blog features a picture of black caps emblazoned with the word Vogue which were sold at Madonna's recent Madison Square Garden gigs in New York City, alongside a message alleging the design is similar to one featured in Field's line of hats and T-shirts.
The message, titled Madonna Stole Our Vogue Hats, reads, "During Madonna's performance of her 2012 World Tour to promote her latest CD, MDNA at Madison Square Garden this past year, one of our spies discovered... She is selling exact replicas of our Vogue hat as part of her tour merchandise!... Our own Patricia Field stylist, Hiraku, designed the snap back and we sell it as a T-shirt, headband and a beanie as well. They've been going like hotcakes here at the store and have become a staple of the Patricia Field brand this year. We get requests to send them to clients everywhere worldwide and people ask for them by name when they come into the store... Madonna is a thief! Do you really need an extra few thousand dollars? Shame, shame for stealing from those that inspire you!... Are we right to be offended by this, or should we just forget about it and move on?"

Opinions are like, well, you know ... we all have one.
It fries me a little that absolutely, hands-down, *The Best* of the post-TOS Trek series gets put down here. Granted, I didn't think that Scott Bakkula would have made a very good Captain, given his previous series, "Quantum Leap", but I have to say, his acting in this role changed my mind. He's a much better actor when he's serious.
The series was *exactly* what the franchise needed - a look back at what started it all. It was brilliant! Crew members anxiety over the transporter, the warp 4.5 engine, paltry weapons, and almost non-existent protective "shields". But Hey! This was the state-of-the-art. It's all they had.
The foreboding gun-metal gray of the interior, and the excitement of warp travel to the distant stars. Awesome. It was the shot in the arm that the franchise needed. But, judging from the reviews here, I can see why it failed. This show was for the Trekkers from the 60's. A return to boldness and adventure. Not the transparent contrived episodes which made up much of the post-TOS series'. The kids didn't get it. The later TNG, and VOY were for kids. Granted, both had some very intriguing episodes, but you had to suffer with a lot of junk to get there.
What Enterprise did, and what TNG started with, was putting cinematography back into the series. From the middle of TNG, and all of Voyager, it looked like they lit the stage with florescent lights! Way too bright, no shadow, no dramatic lighting. Sad, and sterile. Enterprise tried a little harder with darker sets, darker bridge.
Forget Picard - instead of being in an old folks home, they made him Captain of the Enterprise? He should of been Captain of the Love Boat. With him forgetting if he was American, or English - C'mon Stewart?! Is it shed-ule or schedule? Is it Datar or Data. *Make it So!* An Enterprise captain that deals almost entirely as a diplomat, belongs in a play, not on an action TV show.
Forget Janeway - Going to get a lot of sexist email on this - but again, this woman as Captain of a starship? Perhaps someone else, not this chick. She sounded like she smoked 3 packs a day for 30 years before acting in this part. Her whole character completely irked me. Pardon my stereo-types, but this was not a swashbuckling captain. Again, sensitivity training, heart-to-hearts with the crew. It just didn't work. It's not open for discussion.
DS9 - a floating mall passing for a star trek spin-off. At that point, I knew that the producers had hit bottom. Berman and Braga became a hiss and a by-word. Vomit.
Those that would argue there were too many holes - that's what Star Trek Encyclopedias are for. Every series ESPECIALLY TOS had gaping holes.
The series cancelled because UPN ran episodes on Saturday's and because of the convenience, more and more people were watching the Saturday re-runs instead of during the week, where the show earned ratings based on viewing. Low ratings mean cancelled shows. Whether that was done on accident, or was intentionally done to kill of the show, I don't know.
But, I do have one negative - the main title theme song. The break with traditional horns and orchestras was a *big* mistake. I sail right through it on netflix.
I wish they'd put the crew out in a motion picture. And Soon!

Cheery Wallpapers & Decals for the Home Office and Beyond
Whether you feel like brightening up your home office to match the warm season, or are one of those lucky people with a summer home, temporary wallpapers and decals are a good solution for a seasonal look. Removing wall decals is easy, so it works for both renters and homeowners who are tired of the same designs. Here are our current favorites.
1 & 2. Surface View: Surface View is a company that offers bespoke interior decorations, and that includes wallpapers and decals. We've been obsessed with insect prints this summer, and they happen to offer one by John Abbot. We also like Tulips by R J Thornton. The decals come in different sizes, so you can cover your entire wall or use them as a print.
3. Cuff Home: We saw this Chevron wallpaper on Coco + Kelley and instantly wished it upon our own walls. The wallpaper line launched on One King's Lane — check out the site if you like it as much as we do.
4. Flat Vernacular: Flat Vernacular is a design group that also makes customized wallpapers, but we absolutely love their gorgeous designs. They have an entire floral series. Although it's hard to pick, our favorite could quite possibly be Flora. They also have ones that glow under UV light.
5. Marigold Flower Decals: You can also make it look like your wall is in bloom with just a couple of individual wall decals. We like these marigolds by littlesignshop.
6. Petal Pusher: We've always liked Joy D. Cho's wallpapers, and her petal pusher in white and blue would be the perfect touch to add a summer feel into the home office.

Purple 50s-Style Knit Top With Gathered Bust
Added Feb 22, 2010
by m1khaela
Brooklyn, New Yo...
This is my heavily altered version of the striped knit V-neck top in the 50s-style segment of the 02/2010 BurdaStyle magazine. I made a size 38, did a 1-inch FBA and added 5 inches of length and 3 inches of width to the front for my pregnant belly (also added 2 inches of length to the back). I didn't like how wide the neckline was, so I gathered it in quite a bit with clear elastic. I plan to make a striped version with long sleeves next! This was my first successful maternity alteration to a pattern, and my first successful attempt sewing a knit twin-needle hem!
Material Notes
Super-soft lightweight purple rayon lycra jersey knit with nearly 100% stretch from Western Fabrics, $6/yard. I used most of 1 yard, but didn't have enough for the long-sleeved version.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Giovani Dos Santos will not be leaving White Hart Lane on deadline day in the January transfer window, according to his agent.
The Mexican has played a bit part in Spurs' title charge, having featured in just four Premier League games this season.
His limited appearances had led to rumours over his long-term future at the club, but his agent Vicente Montes says the 22-year-old is likely to stay put.
"Giovani Dos Santos has offers from Russia and the United States but he has told them that he is not going to play there," he told ESPN Raza Deportiva.
"Tottenham told Giovani that Major League Soccer (in America) had put in an offer for him but the player has other plans.
"As things stand it appears that Giovani Dos Santos will stay at Spurs."
"When it comes to valuing Giovani, they place him as a player with big numbers, yet they don't play him," he added.
Since joining Spurs in 2008, Dos Santos has gone out on loan at three different clubs; Ipswich Town, Galatasaray and Raving Santander.
However, the form of Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale has kept Dos Santos continually out in the cold at the north London club.
Dos Santos' form at the summer's Gold Cup was expected to land him a move away from Harry Redknapp's side, but despite netting three times, couldn't secure a move.
The rumoured addition of Junior Hoilett in the coming months could further restrict Dos Santos' involvement.

Running: Fitness Training for All Sports
By Frank Horwill
Next to cross-country skiing, running is the best type of fitness training for all sports
A famous Cuban boxing coach told me many years ago, "A man can be the most skilful performer in the world, but if he runs out of steam halfway through a contest a less able opponent who is fitter will always win". He went on to add: "If you have two contestants of equal ability I always back the one who has done the most road-work".
The key question we have to ask is: what amount of total muscle mass is used for any particular sport? Cyclists use 40 per cent, runners 60 per cent and cross-country skiers 80 per cent, double the energy cost of cycling. We can safely say that in any sport where it is necessary to propel the body at speed for most of the game, about 50 per cent of muscle mass is used.
Theoretically, then, the best type of fitness training for all sport is cross-country skiing, where VO2 max readings of 85mls.kg.min for top performers have been recorded. However, a lot of time is needed to learn to ski efficiently and what happens if there's no snow? So we are left with running.
Over the past 35 years I have been asked to assist with fitness programmes for various sports, including the Territorial Army SAS. An early influence on me was the coach to the Australian men's national hockey team, who divulged to me at Crystal Palace that each individual member of the team had to do 40 miles a week carrying his hockey stick!
Energy pathways
D. Matthews and E. Fox, in their revolutionary book, "The Physiological Basis of Physical Education and Athletics", divided the running requirements of various sports into "energy pathways": ATP-PC and LA, LA-O2, and O2. These abbreviations mean: Adenosine Triphosphate (a complex chemical compound formed with the energy released from food and stored in all cells, particularly muscles. Only from the energy released by the breakdown of this compound can the cells perform work); Phosphate-creatine (a chemical compound stored in muscle, which when broken down aids in the manufacture of ATP); Lactic acid (a fatiguing metabolite of the lactic acid system resulting from the incomplete breakdown of glucose. However, Noakes in South Africa has discovered that although excessive lactate production is part of the extreme fatigue process, it is the protons produced at the same time that restrict further performance. This discovery is unlikely to alter the much-used phrase "Swimming in lactic acid"); O2 means aerobic running in which ATP is manufactured from food, mainly sugar and fat. This system produces ATP copiously and is the prime energy source during endurance activities.
These energy pathways are time-duration restricted. In other words, once a certain time elapses that specific pathway is no longer being used. There is some controversy about these limitations but the general consensus is:
|Energy supplied by
|1-4 secs
|4-20 secs
|20-45 secs
|ATP + CP + muscle glycogen
|45-120 secs
|Lactic Muscle glycogen
|120-140 secs
|Muscle glycogen + anaerobic, lactic acid
|240-600 secs
|Muscle glycogen + fatty acids
Here is an energy pathway classification for some of the more popular sports:
|ATP-PC and LA
|Soccer defence
|Soccer attack
Translated into action
How do these findings relate to practical fitness training sessions? Let's take the sport of volleyball - 90% ATP-PC and LA, 10% LA-O2. The majority of training sessions could be 16 x 200m fast strides, four sets of four, with three times the duration of the run as recovery, eg 4 x 4 x 200m in 30 secs with 90 secs recovery, or 8 x 400m in two sets of four with twice the time of the repetition as rest, eg, 2 x 4 x 400m in 64 secs with 128 secs rest. The recovery after each set is dependent on how long the pulse takes to drop to 130 beats a minute.
The LA-O2 pathway used in volleyball is small; for every 10 training sessions done using the ATP-PC and LA pathway, one is done at LA- O2. This can be 5 x 600m fast stride, with double the time of the rep as recovery, eg, 5 x 600m in 105 secs with 210 secs rest or 4 x 800m fast stride in two sets with the same recovery time as the rep, eg 2 x 2 x 800m in 2.5 mins with 2.5 mins rest.
In contrast, it will be noticed that rowing is predominantly aerobic (O2) and LA-O2. For the first there are a number of options: (a) 35-minute steady runs (b) 25-minute fast runs (c) 3 x 1 mile fast (4.5-5.5 mins) with half the time of the run as recovery (d) 5 x 1,000m in under 3.5 mins with half the time of the rep as recovery.
Alternative methods
I myself use a more psychological and empirical approach to team sport fitness. The basic plan with all team sports, with the exception of cricket, is:
- Do a long slow run once a week the same duration as the match. If the match lasts 90 minutes, the run is 90 minutes. Once this is mastered, it has enormous psychological implications.
- Do a faster run half the duration of the match. This would be 40 minutes for a rugby player.
- Carry out speed sessions which mimic the conditions found in the competition. For instance, a rugby player will run up to 15 metres carrying the ball at good pace, then sprint 30 metres full out x 10. A popular competitive speed session, commonly known as zig-zag sprinting, is where each player runs for 15 metres in a straight line, then does a right-angled turn and runs another 15 metres, then another turn, and so on. The overall time for each player to negotiate four turns (75m) while carrying the ball is taken and compared. No one wants to be disgraced as the slowest, everyone tries to be the fastest!
Flexibility and ingenuity are required when compiling fitness programmes for sport. For example, the professional boxer has to contend with 12 three-minute rounds. That calls for a minimum long run of 36-72 minutes He also has to work at a high rate of energy for three minutes in every round with a minute's rest. I have found that 12 x 3 minutes of fast running with a minute's rest after each rep is specific to that sport. A whistle is blown every 20 seconds to ensure the 400m laps are covered in 80 seconds and the distance of 900 metres in 3 minutes. As fitness improves, greater distances can be covered.
Quantum leaps in fitness
One of the benefits of possessing a heart-rate monitor is that numerous different exercises can be performed where the propulsion of body weight is the main factor and the training threshold is recorded.
Attempts have been made to carte blanche this threshold by many physiologists. Karvonen's threshold was popular for many years. For this you take your resting pulse before training and deduct it from 200, then take 60 per cent of this figure and add it to your resting pulse. The result is the pulse rate needed to be achieved through-out the training activity. Example: resting pulse is 70, 70 from 200 = 130, 60% of 130 = 78 + 70 = 148 bpm. This is close, but not close enough, since the maximum pulse varies with age and sex.
A 30-year-old man in fit condition would have a maximum pulse rate of around 214 minus 0.8 for every year of his life, giving a maximum of 190 bpm, and in the example given his threshold would be 142 bpm. By the same token, a 20 year-old female is allocated 209 and 0.7 for every year, giving a maximum of 195. Using the same example, her threshold would be about 142 bpm. This simply means that any work below these readings is not very productive. Many of the training sessions listed for the various energy pathways will take the pulse rate past the magic figure of 90 per cent maximum. That's when fitness begins to make quantum leaps. A simple team fitness test is the total distance run in 15 minutes. Men need to record a distance of 4,000m and women 3,600. Any person who fails this test is a weak link in the team.

A new study from UCSB finds significant increases in businesses hiring organized shills to push products online. These 'malicious crowd-sourcing systems' enlist dozens or hundreds of professional shills to orchestrate mass account creation, generate bogus ratings, and post canned cut-and-paste positive reviews -- with each 'task' costing between 13 and 70 cents. 'Unscrupulous crowd-sourcing sites, coupled with international payment systems, have enabled a burgeoning crowdturfing market that targets U.S. websites, but is fueled by a global workforce.'

The main players from the "Deflategate" investigation are mostly saying all the right things.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is still getting some jeers from the Patriots following New England's Super Bowl victory, though.
Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia wore a t-shirt depicting Goodell wearing a clown nose as he got off the team plane at Logan Airport on Monday.
Goodell suspended Pats quarterback Tom Brady for the first four games of this season over "Deflategate," and football fans frustrated by Goodell's reign reveled in the moment when the commissioner handed the Lombardi Trophy to New England owner Robert Kraft on Sunday. Kraft made a vague reference to Brady's suspension on the podium after accepting the trophy.
"A lot has transpired over the last two years, and I don't think that needs any explanation," Kraft said. "But I want to say to our fans, our brilliant coaching staff, our amazing players, who are so spectacular: This is unequivocally the sweetest."
Brady and Bill Belichick have downplayed any lingering bitterness toward the commissioner for the suspension, and Belichick said it would be "inappropriate" to suggest that Brady put in more effort this season.
"To insinuate that this season was somehow different, that this year he competed harder or did anything to a higher degree than anything he has in the past I think is insulting to the tremendous effort and leadership and competitiveness that he's shown for the 17 years that I've coached him," Belichick said.
While Brady hasn't made any overt shows of extra satisfaction in overcoming the suspension, he may have been trying to troll Goodell in a pre-taped advertisement that ran shortly after the Super Bowl ended.

Just in case people wanted some actual information on this series...
This is a two episode OVA, released in 1998. As far as I know, it was released only on VHS and LD - we used the LDs.
The story focuses on Touno Hikari, who has just come to this robot training camp in order to get the license she needs for the rest of her classes. We start the story on her third day, where it's a surprise Hikari hasn't managed to destroy the entire campus yet. ^^;
Of course, there are several things about it that don't add up, like why the campus is so huge and yet has so few students, or why Hikari is given so many chances when she has proven how much of a liability she is.
Without spoiling it, I don't really care to say much more, but this is somewhat of a character drama with mecha involved. ^^; It does have a great opening though, so you should check it out!
We worked hard to bring this out today, and hope people enjoy it!

Just watch those two episodes, show was quite surprising it started light and funny, but then... I will put the rest inside spoilers. And that opening song simply rocked, in fact I listened it twice before I started to watch the actual episode.
I didn't mind the lower video quality compared to ultra shining quality what we see in today's fansubs since actual animation is very good, as good as you can expect OVA from late 90's.
All in all, very good OVA and thank you Hikari no Kiseki for bringing this to us, I enjoyed it. I would like to see more older anime, since those will most likely never be licenced.

Glad you liked it. We do think it would have been better if it had been longer, but it does appear that it was cut short at two episodes, forcing them to rush to some sort of conclusion. It still plays out okay, but a lot of mysteries are left open, simply because they didn't have the time to explain them. Perhaps they meant to keep it somewhat light, and make the transition to what it ended as more gradual...
As for some older anime, there are a few plans in the works... has anyone tried to identify the sounds that came with our commemorative logo after the show? =p Each ep uses a different track...

Actually, the fact that Otaking Studios subbed it came up in the process of researching a couple things. I wasn't that surprised, as it is a 6 year old OVA.
That illustration on the top center of the VHS vol.1 back cover looks really cute. Do you happen to have a bigger scan of that image? ^^;
As for more Comet-san, well...

Roadside Safety Inspections: FAQs
The following information is general in nature, and intended for motor carriers who have questions about how the roadside safety inspection program works.
Q. What Happens When A Vehicle and/or Driver is Inspected?
Your driver and vehicle can be inspected by state, county and local officers trained to conduct motor carrier safety inspections. The inspection can include a check for safety violations, such as defective brakes, overloading, and the like. A driver may also be checked for proper licensing, accurate log entries, and other documentation. Any vehicle or driver may be checked at any time of day, to assure compliance with CV laws and regulations.
Q. What does the term "out-of-service" mean?
"Out of service" indicates your vehicle or driver may be taken off the road for violations so severe they may present an imminent hazard to the motoring public. If this happens, the officer will fully explain the situation to the driver. If a vehicle is placed out of service, it may not be driven again until all necessary repairs are made. In some cases, the vehicle may be towed a garage for immediate repair. If a driver is placed out-of-service, he or she cannot operate the vehicle until violations are corrected.
Q. What happens after an inspection?
After an inspection is completed, the officer will give the driver a copy of the Driver Vehicle Examination Report, with instructions to give this copy to the carrier. The carrier then has 15 days from the date of the inspection to sign the report, verifying that all required repairs have been made, and return it to the Department of Transportation, according to instructions on the report. If no violations are found, the form need not be returned. You are required by federal regulations to keep copies of inspection reports on file, for auditing purposes.
Q. What happens if a driver gets a ticket after being inspected?
The responsible party must enter a plea on the citation and return it to the court listed on the face of the ticket. Depending on your plea, the court will notify the defendant what further action is required, along with any applicable penalties.
Q. What happens to the information inspectors collect?
Inspections and crashes involving your company's vehicles and drivers are entered into the SAFETYNET database used to record your company's safety record. This information is available to the public. If you are an interstate carrier, this information is collected wherever your drivers and vehicles travel.

One of the best ways to see if Army ROTC is right for you is to learn how alumni have benefited from the experience. Our program was founded in 1952 and beginning with the first commissioning class of 1955 we have commissioned 1,177 Officers into the Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
Our alumni include multiple General Officers, Brigade Commanders, the Chief of Staff of the Maryland Army National Guard, civilian leaders, and one NASA astronaut. Recent alumni have commissioned into the Active Duty Army and begun their careers serving full-time, while many others have decided to serve part-time in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard in order to pursue civilian careers. One of our 2013 alumni had the distinction of becoming the first female from our program to serve in the Field Artillery Branch, a career field that had previously been closed to women.
Please contact Loyola's department of Military Science for information on Battalion Alumni.

I dont really know where to start.
As a lot of you know Harley was diagnosed just over a year ago with SM and it all started because he was limping. First we thought it was an agility injury but an MRI confirmed SM. My Ebony was also diagnosed with symptomatic CM a while later.
The limping last year lasted about 1 month and then suddenly just disappeared until about 2 weeks ago. We have stopped doing agility since last year so its not that. As the weather has been bad and I know Ebony has been affected I thought it has something to do with that as he has also started scratching more. The limping started one morning when he jumped of the bed, it wouldnt have bothered a normal dog but could I be right that it could have triggered the SM related limping? The limping is on and off but now when he makes a certain move he doesnt yelp but makes a wincing noise obviously pain related. I have emailed Clare Rusbridge and she said that if it is weather related I can give him an extra Lyrica and an anti-inflammatory. He was on Carprofen last year but didnt seem to do a lot. I did start him off again on Carprofen but with my other two I found Previcox to be more affected. So I rang the vet and he said to change the anti-inflammatory I need to wait 24hours for the last tablet to wear off and then another 48 hours till I give him the new medication. Sorry i am just going on but I am at my wits end. We been through it all last year and he was ok ish untill now. I should be used to it by now but everytime something happens it still knocks you again. I hate to see him so un happy. Does anybody with an SM dog got problems with limping? How long does it last?

Initial CES 2015 Observations
Wearables Explosion at CES 2015
A Video Look at the Digital Health, Fitness and Wellness Section of CES 2015
A Look at Digital Health at CES 2015
While I was mostly focused on the Digital Health section of CES, I also took note of a number of new user interface approaches that various companies were demoing at CES. Since it's CES, some of these are still conceptual, but they got my EHR UI thoughts going.
Finger Mouse
The Motix Touch Mouse was one of the most intriguing new user interfaces I've ever seen in the 10 years I've been attending CES. Your hands basically stay on the keyboard and a motion capture device follows your finger which works like a mouse on screen. It was a really interesting evolution of the mouse. Unfortunately, they didn't have a great form example which would replicate the EHR world in which I live. So, I'm not sure how well this finger mouse would work filling out the long forms that many have in their EHR. However, the concept was really intriguing to consider.
Here's a video demo of the Motix Touch Mouse:
3D Rudder
The 3D Rudder really blew my mind when I tried it out. I'm not exactly sure of its application in the EHR and healthcare IT world, but the experience of controlling your computer with your feet was really amazing. Plus, the foot control was able to work in 3 dimensions which made it really unique. It took me a second to learn, but I'd love the new way to look at how an input control could work.
You can see the 3D Rudder's Indiegogo campaign, and here's a video demo of the 3D Rudder:
While the mouse and keyboard have been tremendously powerful input devices for computers, I'm fascinated to consider how the evolution of computer input will go. We've seen the amazing growth of voice and touch over the past couple years. However, I think and hope we're just getting started with how simple it will be to control the computers of the future. I believe the small innovations like the two mentioned above are part of the process of improving computer UIs as we know them.

This past Sunday, we opened Jack Stauffacher: Typographic Experiments. In 1966, San Francisco printer Jack Stauffacher reopened The Greenwood Press, the imprint he had founded as a teenager, and moved his workshop to what was known as "The Printer's Building" at 300 Broadway. Shortly after moving, he received a gift of 66 pieces of late 19th-century wooden type from The Williams Printing Company, a recently shuttered commercial poster business that had operated downstairs. Since then, Stauffacher has employed the wooden letters in a series of what he calls "typographic meditations," arranging the familiar forms into unexpected configurations to create bold, abstract images. In the video interview below, he reflects on his experiments and on the inherent appeal of the letters, whose richly textured surfaces show evidence of their history. You can see his prints and books at LACMA in Jack Stauffacher: Typographic Experiments, which opens in the Art of the Americas building on February 2.

Seattle signs Wolf, Miner to minor-league deals
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have officially signed veteran left-hander Randy Wolf and right-hander Zach Miner to minor-league contracts with invitations to spring training.
The Mariners announced the signings on Thursday following the completion of physicals.
Wolf and Miner are coming off Tommy John surgeries that have sidelined them in recent seasons.
Wolf did not pitch in 2013 after having the surgery in late October 2012, the second such surgery of his career. Wolf's last major-league season came in 2012 when he made 26 starts with Milwaukee and Baltimore. Wolf has also pitched for Philadelphia, the Dodgers, San Diego and Houston.
Miner, 31, spent last season with Philadelphia, appearing in 16 games for the Phillies, his first major-league action since 2009. Miner had arm surgery in May 2010.

Crape Myrtle Trees, Lagerstroemia indica, originated in Asia, and today they are widely grown throughout much of the United States. The good news is that newer Crape Myrtle Trees are being bred to tolerate northern climates. Crape Myrtle Trees are multi-stemmed and can be trained into a tree form quite easily. The Crape Myrtle Tree is very hardy and tolerant of many soil types and growing conditions. For best results make sure the soil is moist, moderately fertile and well drained.
Since they bloom on new wood, Crape Myrtle Trees should be pruned in late winter or early spring. This will give you the best flower production. Deadheading (removing) old flowers before they set seed can assist in promoting a second wave of showy flowers in good environments.
Crape Myrtle Trees are a wonderful year-round performer. The Crape Myrtle Tree is a four season plant that provides summer flowers, fall color, attractive bark, and spring greenery. Keeping a large Crape Myrtle Tree attractive is easy with a little trimming; remove basal suckers, crossing branches, and center growing branches. You may expose the attractive bark by removing side branches up to 5 feet or so. It is best to remove these side branches gradually.
