Hi all I'm based in Paris, and have a student here who wants to spend between 2 and 5 weeks in the UK this summer to improve her English. She's 28 years old, already has a pretty good intermediate level of English, and works full time in HR (so would be using a mixture of paid and unpaid leave to do this trip). Her native languages are French and Arabic. She asked me if I had any advice on the best way to go about the whole thing, as she wants to start making plans - but although I lived in the UK for 25 years, I never taught ESL there, so I'm really not sure. I think she's quite open to ideas, but money is definitely a concern - she said the prices she had seen for courses in some of the London schools would be too expensive for her, when factoring in accomodation etc. She'd be interested in either just an unstructured immersion experience (ie au-pair or an internship) and/or proper lessons if the quality was good and the price not too extortionate. Any suggestions on good schools, locations, ways to keep costs down, any clever alternative ideas I may not be thinking of?

My good friend, Kerry Chauvin, recently retired from Gulf Island Fabrication.
vMy good friend, Kerry Chauvin, recently retired from Gulf Island Fabrication. I cannot begin to tell you how much that saddens me. Kerry and I go back to "Delta Days" in the 1980s when the oil industry was booming and we were both young, looking to secure our careers.
He was the president of Delta Construction, which is where Gulf Island is today, and I was the corporate marketing director for Delta Services Industries. I don't remember if we became friends right away, but I do remember we were by the time Delta folded.
One of the things Kerry had been working on before I joined the company was getting Thompson Road paved. Unfortunately, he wasn't having much success, so I offered to help him. I will never forget it! He looked at me and said you can try but I have been trying for a long time. Well, that was just one challenge that I welcomed!
Thus began a friendship that has lasted a lifetime. It was an unbelievable endeavor. Kerry had people from the company sit out at the end of the road to count the cars using the road. After we got that data, we teamed up with Clifford Smith at T. Baker Smith who helped us get additional needed information, along with other pertinent information to make our case for getting Thompson Road paved. We pulled together a needs assessment and traveled to Baton Rouge along with our state delegation to meet with a staffer from Gov. Treen's office. Today, Thompson Road is paved. We got it done! We made it happen!
Shortly after that event, Delta began laying off people. I was one of them. By the time I was working at Terrebonne General Medical Center, more than 1,000 people lost their jobs at the Delta companies, and the organization folded. It was a devastating time for Houma. A little while after its demise, Kerry invited me to lunch to talk to me about his new idea. That idea was Gulf Island Fabrication. It scared me because I did not have the confidence Kerry had to continue in the oilfield.
Kerry's foresight brought stability to this parish by becoming a leading industry in the area. What a wonderful accomplishment. We have much to be thankful for in his leadership ability. We are fortunate he chose to stay right here and weather the storm.
Through the years, we never lost contact. Every now and then, I would call him just to say hi. We kept in touch.
Eleven years ago, I made one of those phone calls to him and told him I was ready to leave my current job. It was time for me to move on. I knew I needed to work with people like Kerry whom I had been friends with for years. In less than five days, he had a job for me with South Central Industrial Association. He just felt it would be a natural fit for both the organization and me.
It has been Kerry I have leaned on all these years when I needed to make certain decisions for SCIA. As a founding member of SCIA, he has always and continues to be a No. 1 supporter. He has been my champion. He has been the support I needed in a community I love. He may be retiring from Gulf Island Fabrication, but I know he will remain active in SCIA as much as he possibly can. I know he will always be my friend, then and now.
Jane Arnette is executive director of the South Central Industrial Association.

This morning on Mike and Mike in the morning, ESPN radio, they were discussing how Bill Parcells apparently handled a recent meeting with Jason Taylor. Taylor had taken a break from Dancing with the Stars (a questionable pursuit at best) to stop by Dolphin headquarters, say hi to teammates and wanted to stop in and say hi to Parcells as well. When he showed up at the threshold of Parcells office, Parcells looked up, saw Taylor, didn't say anything and then went back to watching film. Taylor then left and was understandably pissed about this. Parcells apparently has been mad at Taylor for not showing up to the voluntary camp thing even though Taylor had said a while ago he couldn't because of his, again, admittedly questionable, commitment to…dancing. Mike and Mike were criticizing Parcells for handling this so poorly considering Taylor is still one of their best players.
I agree. I think Parcells is an idiot. It really got me thinking about the social license we seem to give jerks, as long as they are successful. Many argue that football is just a tough sport and his toughness and cold demeanor are part of what have made him successful. I don't buy that. I think Tom Coughlin only won a Super Bowl AFTER he softened some and remembered he's dealing with humans. Think of all of the people in general society and some of the people you know personally, who are total jackasses but who have become successful somehow. Like the previous discussion re Peyton Manning, it is hard to get behind people who whine, complain, treat people disrespectfully, or just plain have no tact, like Parcells. Packerbelle makes a great point in the previous Peyton Manning post comments section when she indicates that part of what hurts about seeing Favre go is how much he respected the game, his teammates, his coaches. He very very rarely whined (he did publicly snap at James Jones last year, but that was uncharacteristic). It is a marvel to me to this day that Favre could classfully (if you will, nice new word) absorb yet another predictable draw play call from Tom Rossley on 3rd and 16 without screaming at him on the sidelines.
I feel lucky that in my lifetime, two of my greatest sports heroes also happen to be two of the classiest guys to play on the biggest sports stages – Sidney Moncrief and Brett Favre. Sorry, tangenting.
Anyway, getting back to my point. I do think we should keep Taylor on our radar. I know the draft is done and some of our ammo for making a trade has been eliminated, but still, I think TT should keep an eye on this because Taylor would be a great veteran addition to our team and it's possible if this war between Taylor and Parcells isn't resolved soon, the stubborn Parcells could dump Taylor for less than he was originally seeking.

Ready for New Challenges
This is a story of three challenges.
The first, Danny Swank faced while serving in Afghanistan with the Army's 10th Mountain Division. As part of his work on an intelligence team, Danny often went into towns to meet local leaders and business owners.
In a matter-of-fact manner, he recalls an attack that almost killed him. A member of his team was at the wheel as they drove through a public square in Kandahar.
"A man walked through the crowd—right up to our truck—and threw a grenade into the cab."
It slid between them and under the seat as the driver scrambled frantically, trying to tuck the grenade into a special pocket made to contain the blast. Danny was trying to help, even while on the radio to another vehicle in their convoy, yelling, "Grenade! Grenade!"
The detonation tore through Danny's legs. It blew off part of the driver's left hand. Smoke filled the cab of the truck as it stalled in the middle of the crowd.
Danny didn't lose consciousness. He remembers it all: the driver restarting the truck and somehow reaching the local police station. Getting carried to the back of an SUV. A medic covering his legs with a new powder that prevents a fatal loss of blood from catastrophic wounds. The brutal drive back to his firebase. The tailgate of the SUV bouncing against his legs. The pain that wouldn't let him pass out. The MedEvac helicopter coming in for a landing.
Just after lifting off with Danny on board, the doctors got an IV into his neck and knocked him out. He was in a coma for nine days.
When he woke up, he was in Walter Reed. Within four months at the medical hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, he went through surgery 52 times. The 53rd operation came nearly a year after the attack in Kandahar. That's when Danny's doctors amputated his leg below the knee.
"My physical recovery went fairly well. It was pretty smooth," he says. He was fitted with a prosthetic that uses a shock piston and carbon-fiber spring. Seeing him walk around campus and working in the lab, you'd never know.
Still, he wrestled with who he was and wondered what he'd do. The Veterans Administration helped him identify his skills and passions.
"Their top-15 recommendations were all some kind of engineer," he says. After taking some courses at a nearby community college, he heard about Clarkson. After a visit to the campus, he applied.
"I didn't want to go to school anywhere else," he says.
And it was at Clarkson that Danny heard about the Combat Wounded Veterans Challenge. Joining the group brought him to Alaska for mountain climbing and rafting -- and to Tanzania to climb Mt Kilimanjaro (see sidebar).
The third challenge came from the Clarkson Formula SAE SPEED Team. Each academic year, the team designs, builds and races a scaled-down version of a Formula 1 racecar. And they have a motto: "Everybody on the team drives the car."
But the car has a clutch.
"I can work two pedals," Danny says, "but not three."
This team of engineers likes a challenge—almost as much as they like cars. The solution? Install two clutches: one is a pedal on the floor, the other is a hand clutch (similar to those on motorcycles).
"It'll take some getting used to," Danny says, "but, y'know, I've done tougher stuff."He graduates from Clarkson in May as a civil engineer, ready for new challenges.
Danny Swank '13 Civil Engineering (Danny, in the driver's seat, and a few members of the SAE SPEED Team)
In January, after flying to Tanzania, Danny Swank and four other wounded veterans made their way to the base of Mt Kilimanjaro.
"It was hot and humid. We weren't far from the Indian Ocean. That first day was the toughest."
Each of the first four days, they hiked about six miles and climbed a couple thousand feet in elevation.
(photo: Combat Wounded Veterans Challenge)
"Each night, I was exhausted and thought I wouldn't be able to go on the next day. But I woke up each morning, ready to go."
But after the group reached high camp, just under 16,000 feet, the thin air prevented him from reaching the summit the next day. And problems with his prosthetic made for a difficult hike down. Still he says, it was a great experience."Everybody in the group pushed themselves—and we pushed each other—to do something we never thought we'd be able to do. It was probably the toughest thing I've ever done."

NOTE: Disc Golf, Disc Pole Hole and Around Nine are trademarks of the Disc Golf Association. Frisbee is a trademark of Wham-O Mfg. Co.
Rying discs have been with us since the days of the cave man when saucer-like objects were portrayed on cave walls by early artists. "Scaling" – throwing flat objects, has surfaced in almost all cultures. Discobus, God of Discus, achieved his fame by throwing the early Greek version. In the late 1800's, the game of scaling can-lids developed and in the 1920's pie pans were found to be superior flying devices. In the '50's, with plastic used for fabrication, the disc began to fly characteristically like the modern day Frisbee·. Currently. more discs are being sold each year than baseballs, basketballs and footballs combined.
The competitive aspect of players throwing similar objects from one spot to the same target must have been the format of the first competition. Some started playing Frisbee- Golf years ago with throws into waste baskets. The game then expanded to targets of opportunity. Trees, fire hydrants, light poles and drinking fountains were popular targets. The subculture of the '60's caught the idea and informal courses sprung up on campuses and parks all over the country. Unfortunatly most of these courses are used by only a select group of dedicated Frisbee Players. Many of these informal courses where designed by local players to their desires without much consideration given to other land uses. Picnic areas, rose gardens and other forms of recreation became potential sources of conflict.
The first attempt to formalize the game was in Oak Grove Park in La Canada, California. This park is operated by LA. County Parks and Recreation Department. People had played Frisbee Golf in the park for several years but play was limited to personal friends and family. A formal course was laid out and the County installed the hardware, the holes were 2″ galvanized pipe 5′ high, called Pole Holes. During the first year an average of 200 people per week played the course. This was outstanding for a park that had little or no weekday use. Everyone was pleased with the new park use and two more courses were installed in L.A. County with similar results. However,we were disturbed by the number of arguments that occurred around the Pole Holes because of judgement calls. Imagine, you have just thrown a "Pole Hole in one," and you shout victoriously, "DID YOU SEE THAT SHOT?" and your partner says, "I'M NOT SURE, DO YOU THINK IT REALLY HIT?" The game obviously needed solid evidence of successful completion of each hole if it was to become a sport.
The challenge was to design a device as reliable as the "cup" in "ball golf" that could catch a disc in its natural flight path and still be vandal resistant. After 56 models and numerous meetings with L.A. County, it was decided that the present design met all criteria. The poles at Oak Grove Park were cut off and the new target assembly was welded on. The results were amazing-within 4 months the course was being enjoyed by more than 5,000 people per week. The question, "DID YOU SEE THAT SHOT?" is no longer asked, the disc in the basket is irrefutable evidence of the completion of each hole. The Disc Pole Holel!l is now the standard of Disc Golf'" Courses all over the country and is protected by U.S.Patent No. 4039189.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MIT men's lacrosse team received three Pilgrim Lacrosse League All-Conference honors and seven Academic All-Conference accolades for the second year in a row. Senior Christopher Rullan (Wexford, Pa.) was voted to the All-Conference First Team while junior Joel Santisteban (Lawrence, N.Y.) and freshman Paul Orrson (Baltimore, Md.) earned spots on the Second Team.
A first-team pick in 2011, Rullan currently ranks ninth in the country in save percentage (.644) and 15th in saves per game (14.73). He paced the Pilgrim League in save percentage and saves (221), was second in goals against average (8.50), fourth in groundballs (99), and tied for seventh in caused turnovers (17). Rullan registered numerous entries in the MIT recordbook this season as he placed second in caused turnovers (17), fourth in groundballs, seventh in saves, and tied for ninth in save percentage. For his career, he stands second all-time in saves (785) and caused turnovers (37), third in groundballs (282), and seventh in goals against average (8.60) and save percentage (.613).
Orrson finished his rookie campaign leading the midfield in scoring while ranking second on the squad in goals (18) and points (23) and fifth in groundballs (32). Santisteban, who overcame injuries early in the season, returned as MIT's top defender and was charged with guarding the opposing team's best attacker. He contributed to a defense that currently ranks fourth in the country in man-down defense and was fourth on the team in caused turnovers with six.
Santisteban along with seniors Sean Burke (Centennial, Colo.) and Mike Gibson (Natick, Mass.) and junior Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.) received their second Pilgrim League Academic All-Conference selections of their careers. First-time honorees for the Engineers were junior Britt Cyr (Cincinnati, Ohio) and sophomores Jake Slonaker (West Windsor, N.J.) and Quantum Wei (Springfield, Va.). To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must achieve a grade point average of at least 4.1 on a 5.0 scale and are deemed a significant contributor by their coach.

Bourbonais Gets Late Equalizer
CANTON, NY – Points are tough to come by on the road in ECAC Hockey, and even tougher when you get behind by two goals deep into the game far away from home. The Yale men's hockey team showed its poise and depth by erasing a 3-1 deficit to grab a point with a 3-3 overtime decision against St. Lawrence at Appleton Arena.
Yale (8-6-2, 5-3-1 ECAC), in sixth place but five point from the conference leader, had a 36-30 advantage in shots while both teams scored once with the advantage.
Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) led the Blue with a goal and an assists. All five players touched the puck before the junior forward hit the net. His first-period tally with 1.6 seconds left evened things at 1-1 and probably should have helped the visitors seize the momentum heading to the second.
Instead, Greg Carey scored twice for SLU and it looked like the Saints (8-11-3, 4-5-1) were headed for a big home win.
The depth in the Yale lineup was evident tonight as seven other Bulldogs had one point each.
Bulldog blueliner Kevin Peel (Onoway, Alb.) one-timed an off-angle shot on the power play to cut the margin to one at 17:35 of the second. It was his second goal of the year.
Clinton Bourbonais (Dexter, Mich.), a sophomore Yale forward with four goals, has been making some noise with his stick and body this year. However, his goal with 4:19 left silenced the Appleton crowd and put the Saints on their heels.
"Clint's goal was the result of a great sustained offensive zone shift by that line. Lags (Antoine Laganiere) and Ruf (Trent Ruffolo) did a great on the fore-check to keep pucks alive. Both of them were involved in getting Clint the puck in the slot. His shot went high glove side," said Allain.
A little more than a minute after Yale got the equalizer, the Elis had to kill off a penalty that could have meant their doom. Instead, the defense picked it up and blocked shots all over the ice to send it to overtime.
"They scored right off the bat (1:38), so we were on our heels right away. Our guys did a great job of battling back. This is a tough place to play," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey.
Jeff Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alb.), who had 10 saves in two frames and one in the OT, totaled 27 for the game. He came up big in crucial situations to enable his squad to come from behind for the point in the packed ECAC standings.
Yale had four of the five shots on target in the extra session, but Matt Weninger came up big in the home net. The SLU netminder, who had 14 saves in the second, finished with 33 stops overall.
"We clearly carried the play in overtime. None of us are satisfied with one point tonight," said Allain.
BULLDOG BITES: Both teams had Friday night off due to the North Country blizzard that has both squads playing 4 p.m. Sunday games… The Elis take on Clarkson at Cheel Arena Sunday before heading back on the 7.5 hour trip to New Haven… This was the fifth OT game this year for SLU… Jesse Root (Pittsburgh, Pa.) played well tonight after missing both games last weekend with an injury.

Friday, January 10-12
UCLA Diving Invite
at Spieker Aquatics center
• Take Your Marks
The UC Santa Barbara women's swim team will take on the University of Nevada- Reno in a dual at Campus Pool on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, both men's and women's swim teams will compete against nationally ranked University of Nevada- Las Vegas, also at Campus Pool. The divers will be competing at the UCLA Diving invite, held at the Spieker Aquatics Center to be held Friday through Sunday.
• Busy Start to 2014
The Gaucho men are coming off a dual meet victory over Air Force, on Saturday January 4th, by a score of 147-108. Senior Randy Aukhus posted three individual victories over the weekend, while senior Ryan Hanni and sophomore Andy Castilleja had two apiece. "Junior Wade Allen and senior Ryan Hanni are swimming at the top of their game", said head coach Gregg Wilson.
The rivalry between UCSB and UNLV has been going on for over 30 years. The CSCAA (College Swim Coaches Association of America) Top 25 rankings have UNLV at No. 23. This will surely be one of UCSB's most competitive duals. "There's a great deal of respect between our two programs and I expect both sides to come out firing", Wilson went on to say.
The women's swim team will be competing for the first time in 2014 led by senior and two-time MPSF Female Athlete of the Week, Andrea Ward. Ward and the Gauchos will look to continue their winning ways against a UNLV squad they competed against in the Las Vegas Invitational earlier this season.
The three day UCLA diving invite will be the first event of the New Year for the divers. The men will be looking to freshman standout Lester Wright to set the tone for the Gauchos. The invitational will include dives from 1m, 3m and platform 5m, 10m.

One tenth of a second is too fast.
The average number of professional (probably Mondo grosso participant) is 0.7 s (according to Chifuyu) and Charl's average time is 2 s, and already considered uber fast for her age. (In sacred Twins it's 1.2 s instead)
@ Eras
And where exactly that motivation came from I wonder?

In case you wonder why that ShiroKishi has comparable ability to a Second-shift 3rd gen I.S., it because that unit pretty much sacrifice barrier strength for maximum mobility and agility. Otherwise, it has only 65% output of normal I.S. due to the unusual state of cores >.<

I guess I just like the story. By the way, Kanzashi took a major level in badass while Cecilia took a major level in jerkass Also, if something's already written, I tend to be able to find ways to improve it easily compared to scratching something up on my own.
Side note - I seem to be getting a budding career as a beta reader I'm helping Treme with his, beta-reading and co-authoring with Fujin, and I might do Fangking's latest crossover if he needs it. Oh well, at least I have an excuse as to why I'm not updating.

@zero: canon statement?
EDIT: Wait you mean Joshua's? I don't really question it as I think it's more weird than anything. only having 4 missiles doesn't make sense unless he was purposely fighting non-IS units because it was stated many times by you guys that missiles don't really have a use outside of mass firing. Blue Tears being the only exception because the missile launchers are either shot point blank or they follow the target around before shooting.

No, it's the new White Knight using refurbished core.
The older white knight has similar maneuverability but has better defense and weaponry output.
EDIT: They DO have extreme punching power (able to blow a 20 m crater in the ground) but of course he had limited ammo. On the other hand, it's best used as distraction and indeed, mass bombardment for hit-and-run attack (at lower altitude where I.S. speed are greatly restricted, missile still able to chase them)
@ Eras

Actually, I just tend to be chronically lazy. As I stated before, I finished this in one day and I wasn't even able to do it for the whole day. I could do FI, but I feel lazy most of the time. Remember the SWC? I actually cared more about that and I did a single chapter per day along with the IKaron story.

Not really, the rapid switch paired with proper weaponry will works extremely well if the pilot knew what to do.
On the other hand, raising specs and bus slot by 20% seems overkill by itself , so about 15 % is enough (3 slot).

@zero: the oddity in the chevalier system is that she has to switch between AI to access the rapid switch of that equalizer class. And the speed of switching AI is kind of like her normal switching speed since the AI's have no part in that and can't support her there. So she can only rapid switch either melee weapons, ranged weapons, shields or boosters at a time Kind of like switching modes actually
Which now inspires me to give her a one-off ability that activates all AI at once for a short period of time

How ridiculous is an IS whose primary focus is the use of artificial muscles? When the system is activated, your body is tricked into producing adrenaline which the IS will harvest and use for the artificial muscles. The life-support that every IS has makes this a bit less dangerous, but it's still not advised to keep this mode up for extended periods of time.
Not sure what I'm going to do with that though.

@tyranid: Oddly enough, I think after activating that system. It would be dangerous for the pilot to dismount her IS because adrenaline production means forced fight or flight mode and I'm pretty sure the after effects of extended periods are either going comatose or dying due to exhaustion.

Remember Ichika fell onto his knees as soon as ByakuShiki disappeared after his crazy 3 hour brawl with Houki and Cecilia? That's exactly what happens, lose support and suddenly your body feels broken.

@eras: It will if he just turns it off after forcefully producing adrenaline for an hour or so. Not med, hopefully zero will correct me.Fight or flight systems will force your body into a state of activity beyond it normally is capable of for the sake of self preservation, however the after effects are mostly damaged muscles(not just muscles for conscious locomotion but also muscles for daily bodily functions) and then failing immune system :|
@zero: But at that time Ichika would have been producing only the proper amount of adrenaline the body needs if not none at all. He'd be exhausted but not overworked like forced adrenaline extraction.
Also would having all 4 AI working simultaneously be overpowered even for a one-off ability?

Revision as of 14:42, 26 April 2010
The Mason Historiographiki is a wiki (collaborative website) written and edited by graduate students in history at George Mason University who are preparing for written or oral comprehensive examinations. Only they and their instructors may edit it, but anyone interested in their take on the literature of history is welcome to read. In its initial incarnation, it will focus on twentieth-century United States history.
Instructions for Editors
This historiographiki is composed of two types of entries: topic entries and book entries. Book entries cover individual books, much like book reviews in academic journals. Topic entries cover key events and historiographic debates, providing a framework for the individual books and pointing out areas where more reading must be done.
Sandbox (used for practicing editing)
Note: If you enter changes and save page, only to get a blank page, it may be that you entered special characters that the Wiki software does not like. It does not like smart quotation marks or apostrophes, so use a "straighten quotes" command in a text editor before pasting. It also does not like special ellipsis marks, so type ellipses using spaces and periods.

We've known for a while that Android was ahead of the competition, but we've never really seen a complete picture of what the entire smartphone market looks like. Fortunately for us, Nielsen released a new report which depicts how each manufacturer stacks up in the various U.S. smartphone market segments from November 2010 through January 2011.
Obviously, we always like to point out that Android's 29% market share is a couple points ahead of Apple's iOS, but it's interesting to note that there are really only three major players in the Android segment. Within the 29% share of the smartphone segment that's owned by Android, HTC has the lead with 41.3%, followed by Motorola's 34.5%, and Samsung's 17.2%. The remaining 6.9% is classified as "Other" and is made up by manufacturers like LG, SONY Ericsson, Dell, and Huawei.
The second chart in Nielson's report shows how the smartphone segments break down by age groups. Android and iOS age segmentation are pretty consistent with Android coming out slightly ahead in the 18-24 demographic and iOS gaining back those points in the 55-65+ grouping.
Since the Nielson report only shows data for a specific point in time, there's not really much else we can extrapolate from the numbers. We're hoping they release this same report every quarter so that we can start tracking how Android progresses over time among the different user age groups and how new handset introductions individually affect manufacturer's Android market share.

In Remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
When the bombs were dropped I was very happy. The war would be over now, they said, and I was very happy. The boys would be coming home very soon they said, and I was very happy. We showed 'em, they said, and I was very happy. They told us that the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been destroyed, and I was very happy. But in August of 1945 I was only ten years old, and I was very, very happy.
The crew of the B-29 was so young and heroic, and in the photo they also looked very happy. For some reason, I clearly remember the name of the pilot, Paul Tibbets. Of course I remember the name of the plane, the Enola Gay. And oh yes, I remember the name of the bomb. It was called Little Boy. That made me smile.
I was so proud to be an American that day because we had done something so remarkable. They said we were the first. We were Americans. We were powerful. But they didn't say that Little Boy had killed 66,000 people with its huge fireball that fateful day in August. They didn't say that Hiroshima was not a military target, but a city filled with men and women and children and animals who had no idea they were about to die so horribly. When you're ten, they don't always tell you everything.
I don't think anyone made as big a fuss over the second plane, or its crew. Are they even in the Smithsonian? Second best doesn't count, I suppose, but I remember wondering why they had done it again. Wouldn't the war be over anyway, like they said? Weren't the boys coming home very soon? Hadn't they already showed 'em how strong we were in Hiroshima? So they told me that the second bomb was called Fat Man, and that made me smile.
So I was even prouder to be an American that second day. They said this would be the end for sure, and after all, these people were the enemy and you kill the enemy when you can. But they didn't tell me that Fat Boy had killed 39,000 human beings with another fireball on another day in August. They didn't tell me that Nagasaki was not a military target, but a city filled with…well, you know. They didn't even tell me that there were horses trapped in the flames of Nagasaki, because I loved horses and that would have made me sad. But when you're ten, they don't tell you everything.
Today I'm no longer ten, and I am no longer happy when bombs fall. And the names Fat Man and Little Boy no longer make me smile because I now know the devastation and horror of burned bodies and twisted metal that result from the mushroom clouds. And I am ashamed that on this day Americans don't stop to remember what was done. And I am horrified that my government has just killed thousands of defenseless men and women and children and animals who were not the enemy, and that the silence of America is deafening.
Today, I am so very sad that many young people don't even know about the Enola Gay and the mission of its crew. And I am so terribly ashamed that the war we have just waged has been so devoid of the reality of death and pain. They haven't told us about the thousands of civilians they have killed. They haven't shown us the devastation they have caused. They withhold the true numbers of our own military who die each day. They never mention the hundreds who have been terribly wounded. War is surgical and sanitized, they tell us, and a very effective way to liberate people. They speak to us as if we all were ten.
George W. Bush is not ten. He has announced to the world that he, as the leader of this great nation, has the right to use nuclear weapons once again. This time, he says, he has the right to char men and women and children and animals if he "suspects�? their leaders of being a threat to us. He is not ten. He really isn't. Then why is he so very happy? And why, please tell me, is he still smiling?

Any time I see stats for Raiding numbers I am interested and start comparing realms, guilds, factions, etc. Typically this ends in me confirming something which I felt was already half true in my mind, or gaining a deeper level of information about a known real impact. That said, anytime I see stats I also assume that somebody is lying about something. Human nature.
Today I saw a page for the PvE Raiding stats across all servers for characters which had killed at least 2/16 heroic bosses on 11 Dec. This means our server Nagrand-US ranks 189th on the list, with only 38 characters killing 2/16. That is across the 394,805 guilds and 25,581,509 characters in their database.
By comparison the high values were in the 500s and 600s characters on some realms having killed 2+ bosses, 147 realms with less than 10 characters, and 87 realms that have not killed any at all. The "high" servers have also got many guilds which have 14+ of 16 bosses in hard modes for Tier 14 raid content. These guys are awesome, and I'm jealous.
There are also 60 realms where there are greater than zero but less than 10 characters who have killed 2+ bosses. Considering the minimum raid size is 10 that means that transfers must be occurring with some regularity. How else do you get 5 characters on a realm who have killed 2+ bosses on heroic?
Some of my old servers (Feathermoon-US) is 0, Eonar-US has 30, and Sumamar and Earthen Ring have only 15. The average is roughly 47 characters per realm who have killed 2/16, but then the median is only 25 telling us that there is a skew in the distribution where the leader realms drop off drastically from the top, very quickly into the average, and a very long tail which has not.
Now our guild has not killed any Heroic modes as yet (soon), and while there are only 28k characters who have, I don't feel too bad as we are gaining ground. Would I like to be? Of course.
(update) What does it mean?
Well not much in the broader sense, just that it was interesting in terms of a gauge for where raiders are in the content. Seeing 10,000+ players have run through heroics, but many realms have very little heroics implies to me that the "end" of T14 is a significant way off yet. I've read rumour of the next raid in 5.2 being an Ulduar style raid, and that is exciting. Timing wise I hope that it is a long way away so we get the opportunity to strike through the current stuff.
Happy killing.

Boffins build bionic battery
Ten times' Li-ion capacity, charges in a tenth of the time
Researchers have devised an electrode material that allows lithium-ion batteries to hold ten times the charge they do today - and recharge ten times as quickly.
The trick, uncovered by scientists at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois led by Professor Harold Kung, is to build the battery's positive electrode, the anode, out of graphene, a form of carbon comprised of atom-thick sheets.
The anode is formed from a "flexible, self-supporting three-dimensional conducting graphenic scaffold" with clusters of silicon nanoparticles held between each sheet of graphene.
Silicon has been proposed before as a material for lithium-ion battery anodes as it can hold more lithium ions than carbon can: four lithium ions for every silicon atom, compared to one lithium ion for every six carbon atoms.
Replacing carbon with silicon is hard, however, because silicon expands and contracts during the charging process, causing the material to break up and the anode to lose its charge capacity rapidly.
By placing the silicon between the graphene sheets, Kung and his team, found that even if the clusters break up as a result of the expansion and contraction, the silicon is not lost, so the capacity reduction over time is much reduced.
Kung and co also used an oxidation process to create defects in the atomic lattices that make up each graphene sheet, essentially drilling holes in the lattice to enable the lithium ions to reach and react with the silicon more quickly.
The upshot, they said, is a li-ion battery that recharges in a tenth of the time and a tenfold increase in capacity too.
And - yes! - ten times the longevity too. "Even after 150 charges, which would be one year or more of operation, the battery is still five times more effective than lithium-ion batteries on the market today," Kung claimed.
All good stuff, but Kung's anode doesn't deliver the speed that University of Illinois scientists Huigang Zhang, Xindi Yu and Paul Braun managed with their "self-assembled three-dimensional bicontinuous nanoarchitecture consisting of an electrolytically active material sandwiched between rapid ion and electron transport pathways" cathode back in March.
That structure allowed a lithium-ion battery to charge up to 75 per cent of capacity in just 2.7 seconds. Reaching 90 per cent capacity took 20 seconds.
Someone should get these teams together. Put the new anode and new cathode in the same battery and we might at last put an end to regular day or every other day charging. ®

According to the latest e-mail from Entertainment Earth, their next exclusive is due to be released on Feb 28th at 12PM (noon) Pacific Time. The unnamed editor is claiming it will be "quite limited", but there's no mention of what it actually is.
I don't know what it is, I just hope it doesn't suck - either choice-wise or cost-wise.
I bet it's something like a BARC trooper or Galactic Marine.

Not to be outdone by Jay-Z and Beyonce, Kanye West announced that he and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby.
The rapper surprised an audience of more than 5,000 in Atlantic City Sunday night by singing "now you having my baby."
The crowd – and Twitter – went crazy.
Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner tweeted, in (nearly) all caps, "Oh BABY BABY BABY!!"
And the reality star's sister chimed in as well.
"Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!" she tweeted.
Plus: Breastfeeding Words of Wisdom from Kim Kardashian
West, 35, and Kardashian, 32, have been public with their relationship since March. TMZ speculates that the couple is about 12 weeks into the pregnancy.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star briefly married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011. Their divorce is not finalized.
At Sunday's concert, West asked concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mom" and called the pregnancy the "most amazing thing."
We can only congratulate the duo – and hope the baby's name is just as amazing as this last bit of news for 2012.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A&E Network says Season 2 of its Oregon-set drama series "Bates Motel," starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, will premiere March 3.
The sophomore season will "dig deeper into the twisted world of the Bates family," the cable network said in a news release promoting the small-screen "Psycho" prequel.
"Picking up from last season, Norman is fixating on Miss Watson's death while Norma's mysterious past starts to haunt the family with the introduction of her brother," A&E said. "Meanwhile, Norman's brother Dylan, played by Max Thieriot, gets more entrenched in the familial drug war that fuels White Pine Bay and finds himself right in the middle of the danger as Bradley, played by Nicola Peltz, who remains on the hunt to uncover her father's killer, is driven to precarious extremes."
Guest stars lined up for the new season include Michael Vartan, Kathleen Robertson, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Rebecca Creskoff, Kenny Johnson, Michael Eklund and Michael O'Neill.

Locals are invited to explore the world-class marine science lab in their backyard by attending the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium's open house.
Locals are invited to explore the world-class marine science lab in their backyard by attending the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium's open house.
The facility, more commonly called LUMCON, holds the open house every two years to showcase research and educational opportunities the marine research station has to offer. Housed in an elevated, hurricane-resistant building near the end of La. 56 in Cocodrie, scientists at LUMCON have produced ground-breaking research into the Gulf oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico dead zone and the marine environment off our coast.
"We hold this event to share our science and our education with the community," LUMCON Executive Director Nancy Rabalais said. "To let them know that we're here, and that we can help them in lots of ways with research and education. We want to encourage people to visit us — to bring their school classes for visits."
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, residents can explore LUMCON's laboratories, learn about the science taking place, get up close and personal with a sea creature and even practice driving a model ROV, the remotely operated vehicles that help scientists explore undersea depths.
Admission is free. LUMCON is located at 8124 La. 56 in Chauvin.
LUMCON was formed in 1979 to coordinate and stimulate Louisiana's activities in marine research and education. LUMCON provides coastal laboratory facilities to universities across the state, conducts its own research and provides education opportunities in marine science.
Rabalais said LUMCON is the only marine research station of its kind in the state, and it is currently challenged by state and federal budget cuts.
That means the public's interest and understanding of what LUMCON does is more important than ever, she said.
The open house offers activities to engage little ones and their parents in science and exploration, said LUMCON spokeswoman Holly Hebert.
That includes a scavenger hunt that will lead parents and kids around the marine center, so they can learn about it together. Kids will be rewarded with a goody bag at the end.
Other games include fiddler crab races sponsored by Nicholls State University.
Visitors can make an artistic fish print to take home and check out an exhibit of coastal photography by students. They can also explore collections of preserved marine specimens and interact with live sea creatures.
There will be scientific demonstrations related to the Gulf oil spill, and information about some of the latest research LUMCON is doing.
The open house will also include a panel discussion on the state's coastal master plan and its impact on Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes. That discussion will be held from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
Presenters include Natalie Peyronnin from the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, Jenneke Visser with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and David Muth from the National Wildlife Federation.
LUMCON scientist Alex Kolker will moderate the panel, and audience members will be encouraged to ask questions about the plan.
Residents who can't make it down for the open house can visit at other times, Rabalais said. LUMCON is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for self-guided tours. Tours of 10 or more should make reservations at 851-2800.
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cambridge Proposes New Centre To Study Ways Technology May Make Humans Extinct
from the but-will-skynet-let-it-happen? dept
Hyperbole aside, one group is proposing a more reasonable, nuanced platform to study possible pitfalls regarding technology and mankind's dominance over it.
A philosopher, a scientist and a software engineer have come together to propose a new centre at Cambridge, the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER), to address these cases – from developments in bio and nanotechnology to extreme climate change and even artificial intelligence – in which technology might pose "extinction-level" risks to our species.Now, it would be quite easy to simply have a laugh at this proposal while writing off concerns about extinction-level technological disasters as being the thing of science fiction movies, and to some extent I wouldn't disagree with that notion, but this group certainly does appear to be keeping a level head about the subject. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of fear-mongering coming out of group, unlike what we see in cybersecurity debates, and the founding members of the group aren't exactly luddites. That said, even some of the group's members seem to realize how far-fetched this all sounds, such as Huw Price, the Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy and one of the group's founding members.
"Nature didn't anticipate us, and we in our turn shouldn't take AGI for granted. We need to take seriously the possibility that there might be a "Pandora's box" moment with AGI that, if missed, could be disastrous. I don't mean that we can predict this with certainty, no one is presently in a position to do that, but that's the point! With so much at stake, we need to do a better job of understanding the risks of potentially catastrophic technologies."Unfortunately, the reasonable nature of Price's wish to simply study the potential of a problem does indeed lead to what seems to be laughable worries. For example, Price goes on to worry that an explosion in computing power and the possibility of software writing new software will relegate humanity to the back burner in competition with machines for global resources. My issue is that these researchers appear to equate intelligence with consciousness. Or, at the very least, they assume that a machine as intelligent as or even more intelligent than a human being will also have a human's motivation for dominance, expansion, or procreation (as in writing new software or creating more machines). Following the story logically, and having written a fictional novel discussing exactly that subject matter, I'm just not sure how the researchers got from point A to point B without a little science fiction magic worked into the mix.
So, while it would seem to be unreasonable to decry studying the subject, I would hope this or any other group looking at the possible negative impact of expanding technology would try to keep their sights on the most likely scenarios and stay away from the more fantastical, albeit entertaining, possibilities.

Description: http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/spacer.gif
Bill Sweedler and Townsend Bell soldiered on to take the checkered flag in the No. 23 Lotus Alex Job Racing/Battery Tender/Yokohama/Lotus Evora GT's first race at the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) Long Beach Grand Prix today.
Sweedler (Westport, Conn.) had the controls of the Evora GT at the start of the race. That's when the action started. On the first lap heading into Turn Two there was a car stopped, forcing Sweedler to brake hard and as a result was hit in the rear and spun from behind. Moments later he was hit again, this time by a prototype, causing severe damage to the Evora's exhaust, robbing the engine of valuable horsepower. The crew made the repairs, but the duo of Sweedler and Bell (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) were down several laps, but soldiered on to take the checkered flag.
"It was an unfortunate start," Sweedler said. "There was pile up in the Fountain Turn, I got hit from behind by a GTC car and he spun me. I was getting back underway when a prototype came in and hit me harder. That caused the exhaust pipe to be crimped by about 90-degrees, so we were putting out about one-tenth of the horsepower. The guys did a good job to make the repairs and keep us going. It was a tough start for the Battery Tender, William Rast and Yokohama Evora GT this weekend."
Bell got in and was able to run his first laps of the weekend in the Evora GT in dry conditions.
"Our goal for the weekend was to finish," Bell said. "We accomplished that part. It was a shame that Bill got hit at the start. The team hustled and worked hard to replace the exhaust and keep us in the race. It was nice for me to go out and drive this car against competition for the first time. We have a long list of things to work on with this car. We are realistic about the challenge ahead of us. I got to ride around the streets of Long Beach in a fast Lotus today, so that wasn't all bad."
Team principal Alex Job is proud of the way the team reacted to the adversity today.
"Bill had a tough start to the race, being hit twice before Turn Three," Job said. "The team reacted by making the repairs, even though we had to retrieve the parts from the paddock, which is a half-mile away. With this

"When asked what they most like about RISC OS, many enthusiasts are likely to mention the fluid, slick and intuitive manner with which user and computer interact. In other words, the graphical user interface, or the GUI as the geeks would have us call it. With RISC OS, the GUI encourages all applications to work in a similar way, and to have the same feel. Faced with new RISC OS software, a user already has a good idea of how to drive it and explore."

When I wrote the other day about some animal lovers' trap-neuter-return efforts with a colony of stray cats, I was well aware that not everyone supports this approach.
Trap-neuter-return involves capturing stray cats, then sterilizing and vaccinating them and treating them for fleas and whatever other problems they may have. Kittens and friendlier adults go into foster homes or are adopted. The truly feral ones are returned — with an ear notched to indicate they've been sterilized — to their place of origin, where caretakers supply food and water to a colony that eventually will shrink because they're not breeding and life expectancy is shorter for cats in the wild.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Darius Hicks of Morningside (Iowa) is named the NAIA Football National Defensive Player of the Week; Chris Mayer of Southwestern (Kan.) is tabbed as the NAIA Football National Special Teams Player of the Week and Eric Williamson of St. Ambrose (Iowa) is recognized as the NAIA Football National Offensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Monday. The trio was chosen for their performances during the week of Oct. 28 – Nov. 3 and each was selected from a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Hicks, a junior defensive back from Kansas City, Mo., tied a Morningside single-game record with three interceptions in the Mustangs 48-31 win over then-No. 25 Concordia (Neb.). The junior also recorded a pass breakup and two solo tackles in the contest. With the win, the Mustangs (7-0) earned at least a share of the Great Plains Athletic Conference regular-season title. Northwestern (Iowa), Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) and Doane (Neb.) (5-2) are tied for second in the conference with two weeks left to play in the regular season. With this week's performance, Hicks now leads Morningside in interceptions (3) and ranks 30th nationally in the category.
Mayer, a senior kicker from Tucson, Ariz., tied the longest made field goal in Southwestern history, putting one through the uprights from 50 yards out as time expired at the end of the first half. The kick brought the Moundbuilders to within one at the half (21-20) and initiated Southwestern's come-from-behind victory. Led by Mayer's perfect day, with two field goals and two extra points, the Moundbuilders went on to beat Saint Mary (Kan.), 32-29. The win puts Southwestern (4-3) two games back of the leaders (6-1) in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference with two games left on the conference schedule. On the season, Mayer ranks among the NAIA leaders in total field goals (7th, 10), field goals per game (8th, 1.1), total scoring for kickers (8th, 61 points), scoring per game for kickers (13th, 6.8 points), point after attempt kicking percentage (33rd, .939) and field goal kicking percentage (42nd, .625).
Williamson, a senior quarterback from Springfield, Ill., set St. Ambrose career records for completions (593) and total offense (7,555) in the Fighting Bees 65-30 win over then-No. 14 Saint Xavier (Ill.). He also owns the program's career record for touchdowns (74). In the contest, Williamson amassed 355 passing yards, six passing touchdowns and a team-high 92 yards rushing. His 447 yards of total offense in the matchup fell five yards shy of the St. Ambrose single-game record. With the victory, St. Ambrose (4-1) sits in second place in the Mid-States Football Association Midwest League behind Grand View (Iowa) (5-0), who is No. 3 nationally. Individually, Williamson currently ranks among the top 15 nationally in passing yards per game (3rd, 322.1), total offense (4th, 2867 yards), total offensive yards per game (4th, 358.4), total passing yards (5th, 2577) and pass efficiency (14th, 143).

ONEONTA, N.Y. – Junior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) came up two assists shy of a triple-double, finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, as No. 3 MIT defeated Skidmore College, 62-55, in the NCAA Division III tournament first round at Lambros Arena on Friday night. With the win, the Engineers (26-1) advance to the second round for the third time in four years and will face the winner of the game between host Hartwick and Farmingdale State University.
Kates shot eight-of-14 from the field and seven-for-10 from the foul line while also adding three steals. Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half and junior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) tied a career-high with 15 rebounds while scoring 12 points.
Senior Kyle Clark (New York, N.Y.) was a perfect six-for-six from the field en route to a team-high 14 points. Senior guard Gerard O'Shea (West Sand Lake, N.Y.) had 13 points, four assists and three boards for the Thoroughbreds. Skidmore launched 27 three-pointers, making nine, to help push the third-ranked Engineers to the very end.
After O'Shea's three-point play brought Skidmore within five with 9:16 to play, the Cardinal and Gray reeled off five straight points, a three-point play by Hollingsworth and a layup from Kates, to lead 54-44. Skidmore responded with a 7-0 run capped off by a three-ball from senior Terron Victoria (Albany, N.Y.) to cut the deficit back down to three with 5:37 to play.
The teams would then go nearly three minutes without a field goal before Clark's driving layup brought his team within two, 55-53, with 2:44 to go. Kates answered right back at the other end, however, to push the advantage back to four and, from there, the teams traded free-throws, with MIT making five-of-six from the line to close out the game.
Skidmore took an early 9-2 lead, behind five points by Clark, before Kates snapped the MIT drought with a fade-away jumper. Kates' jumper led to four straight buckets for the Engineers, capped by a Billy Bender (The Woodlands, Texas) three-pointer, to give MIT its first lead of the evening. Tech would outscore the Thoroughbreds 12-2 later in the half, between the 12 and eight-minute media timeouts, to take a 25-17 lead at the 7:07 mark.
The Engineers would eventually lead 34-24 at the intermission, as Kates and Tashman combined for 24 of MIT's 34 points in the opening stanza.
Tech shot 47.9% from the field (23-48) while owning a 40-23 advantage on the boards. MIT also outscored Skidmore, 34-20, in the paint.
MIT will await its opponent for the second round game, which will be played on Saturday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m.

Hi all! First time posting here... I've been reading the threads for a while but I decided to post and get help on my own issues.
My sweet LO is 6 weeks and 4 days and lately she's been real fussy at the breast at night. She pulls and pushes in, cries, grunts, and so on. She also latches and un latches several times.
She does not sleep good at all, she doesn't sleep during the day after I feed her, or maybe she sleeps for 10-15 minutes and wakes up. Last night I moved to the recliner and after I feed her, she slept on my chest, it was around 2am so I didn't want to put her in the sleeper where she usually wakes up after a few minutes as I said.
I am having trouble getting her to sleep at night too. The last couple of nights have been rough... and I'm concern cause I'm coming back to work next Monday!
As always, I'm concern that she's not getting enough milk to make her go to sleep after a feeding.
Also, she seems to want to eat every hour or so. And at night is like she's never satisfied. She keeps sucking her fingers and hands after I've nursed her for an hour! And the last few days I've probably nursed her for more than an hour. I know I should not time the sessions, but sometimes it concerns me that she wants to eat for too long and maybe over eat or I overfeed her. She usually spits up every time she eats for too long.
I went to my lactation consultant here and I started taking fenugreek cause my milk supply was low after being advised to feed my baby formula to make her have a stool after she was born
I'm still taking 2 pills 3 times a day.
Any thoughts???
Thanks for any help you can give me!!!
