Studies of the Dynamics of Thin Ion Exchange Films by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry and Attenuated Total Reflectance Spectroscopy
Abstract: A chemically selective film, usually of optical quality, is a key component of optical and electrochemical sensors. We have examined the dynamics of various thin selective films by spectroscopic ellipsometry and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy. Spectroscopic ellipsometry provided a non-invasive method for measurement of optical constants (n(λ), refractive index; k(λ), extinction coefficient) and thicknesses of thin selective films which were conditioned in time by solvent and penetrant mass transport. The methods we have developed allowed us to characterize film dynamic response, stability, and chemically specific mass transport even to the point of quantitatively modeling both transport and structural changes. The ATR spectra of thin, highly absorbing films are distorted both by reflectance and interference phenomena. Enhanced absorbance was observed under film leaky mode conditions.
Abstract: This paper deals with the fundamental aspect of dielectric relaxations in conducting inorganic solids. It has been shown that it is possible to evidence dielectric relaxations due to charge carriers such as electrons (small-polarons) and ions, dipole reorientations (e.g. water molecules in hydrates) and to interfacial polarization phenomena (e.g. grain boundaries) in polycrystalline compounds. The importance of all these phenomena is discussed in relation to their possible interventions in dielectric spectra.
Optical Study of Eu3+ Ion Embedded in (1-x)Na2WO4-xP2O5 Glasses Highlighting a Temperature Effect on its Local Environment
Abstract: Tungsten-phosphate glasses doped with trivalent europium ion are synthesized and their spectroscopic properties are analyzed. Following the evolution of the 5D0 → 7F1 electronic transition in a series of various glass compositions via two rank crystal field parameters (cfp's), a slight modification of the local symmetry is evidenced in the series. Decay lifetimes of 5D1 and 5D0 levels are also analyzed. Optical properties clearly correspond to Eu3+ in the glassy phase. At room as well as at liquid nitrogen temperatures, the emission spectra display comparable features with prominent 5D0 → 7F2 transition. However, at 77 K, the maximum 7F1 splitting exhibits an increase of ≈ 20-23 % for all compounds. This increase is directly connected to a change in local environment around the rare earth ion. The optical properties and the crystal field variation could be correlated with the shortness of the metal-oxygen distances produced by the pressure when cooling.
Abstract: In view of the improvement of luminescent intensity in classical phosphors, different new techniques of synthesis have been developed. One of them is the sol-gel technique for nanopowder synthesis. Applied to a binary system Gd2O3-SiO2 doped with trivalent europium ion, very fine powder form samples have been obtained. In that case the emission intensity of 5D0→F2 electronic transition of 4f6 configuration is greatly enhanced compared to the bulk oxide. The lifetime measurements are given too. The size of nanoparticles is of about 10 nm, determined by dynamic light scattering and XRD analysis.
Abstract: In Part I of this paper, we used X-ray, far-infrared reflectivity and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements to investigate optical and magnetic properties of Hg1-xMnxSe (x≤0.26) alloys. In Part II, we expand our investigation to Raman spectroscopy and galvanomagnetic measurements. We registered two-mode behaviour of long wavelength optical phonons and described it by modified Genzel's model. Except modes from the centre of Brillouin zone, there are some of forbidden modes in Raman spectra that originate from the edge of the zone, as well as a mode that corresponds to the maximum of phonon density of states. Modes of unalloyed α–MnSe are registered, too.
Abstract: Thin films of single-phase zinc-stannate (Zn2SnO4) were grown by rf magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. Transmission in the visible range was measured allowing determination of the energy gap and thickness of analyzed thin film samples using interference fringes. The photoacoustic phase and amplitude spectra of all samples were measured as a function of the laser beam modulating frequency using a transmission detection configuration. Fitting of experimental data enabled calculation of thermal diffusivity, the coefficient of minority carrier diffusion, their mobility and lifetime.
Abstract: Far-infrared reflection spectra and results of dielectric measurements of SrTiO3 single crystal doped by neodymium are presented in the paper. Dielectric investigations were conducted at temperature range from 25 K to room temperature for the test frequency 1MHz. The numerical analysis of the far-infrared reflection spectra made using a fitting procedure based on factorized form of the dielectric function. The results for SrTiO3: Nd are compared with those for pure crystal. The lowest-frequency phonon mode is found to be strongly influenced by presence of neodymium ions in SrTiO3 single crystal.
Abstract: Amorphous carbon coatings for implantable medical devices require high mechanical strength, adhesion and uniform biocompatibility response across the devices. Investigation of a-C:H properties and structure variation with thickness and substrate material provides valuable insight into requirements for device coating. A number of devices are coated and the effect of interfacial layers, film doping and the spatial variation in quality is investigated.
Abstract: Our recently proposed quantum approach to biomolecular recognition processes is hereby additionally supported by biomolecular Resonant Recognition Model and by quantum-chemical theory of biomolecular non-radiative resonant transitions. Previously developed general quantumdecoherence framework for biopolymer conformational changes in very selective ligandproteins/ target-receptors key/lock biomolecular recognition processes (with electron-conformational coupling, giving rise to dynamical modification of many-electron energy-state hypersurface of the cellular quantum-ensemble ligand-proteins/target-receptors biomolecular macroscopic quantum system, with revealed possibility to consider cellular biomolecular recognition as a Hopfield-like quantum-holographic associative neural network) is further extended from nonlocal macroscopicquantum level of biological cell to nonlocal macroscopic-quantum level of biological organism, based on long-range coherent microwave excitations (as supported by macroscopic quantum-like microwave resonance therapy of the acupuncture system) - which might be of fundamental importance in understanding of underlying macroscopic quantum (quantum-holographic Hopfieldlike) control mechanisms of embryogenesis/ontogenesis and morphogenesis, and their backward influence on the expression of genes.
Abstract: Investigation of the properties of peptide plane in protein chain from both classical and quantum approach is presented. We calculated interatomic force constants for peptide plane and hydrogen bonds between peptide planes in protein chain. On the basis of force constants, displacements of each atom in peptide plane, and time of action we found that the value of the peptide plane action is close to the Planck constant. This indicates that peptide plane from the energy viewpoint possesses synergetic classical/quantum properties. Consideration of peptide planes in protein chain from information viewpoint also shows that protein chain possesses classical and quantum properties. So, it appears that protein chain behaves as a triple dual system: (1) structural - amino acids and peptide planes, (2) energy - classical and quantum state, and (3) information - classical and quantum coding. Based on experimental facts of protein chain, we proposed from the structure-energy-information viewpoint its synergetic code system.

HARPE: The Hugely Adaptable (Action/Anime) Role-Playing Engine
Characters are built following a Template (Common, Daring, Dramatic, Heroic, Super-Heroic) to gain 0-4 Abilities and 0-4 Deeds. These are narrative tags created by the player, with examples being things like: Artistic Ability, Combat Ability, Linguistics Ability, Social Ability, Stealth, Survival, and Vehicle Operations. Deeds indicate how often a character may utilize non-common Abilities before recovery periods (which vary), with values ranging from 1-7.
Different levels of Abilities have different dice pools, running from 1d6 to 4d6+4. When an opposed action is resolved it causes the loser to accumulate "Points of Defeat" which are vaguely like abstracted hit points in other systems. Points of Defeat regenerate during recovery periods. Actions are resolved by rolling the dice pool and looking for successes in the results, the number of successes determining the nature of the outcome.
Combat works in a similar way but offers various special situations. Combat supports initiative, surprise, ambush, and so forth. However, the combat round remains an abstracted series of events and the goal of the mechanics are to minimize the time spent rolling dice in combat in favor of developing an exciting narrative action.

Used hatchback costs rose in 2015
New data has revealed that the cost of owning a used city hatchback car increased during 2015.
A new report by cap revealed that the city car sector was one of the main used cars, and it is this high use that led to higher overall depreciation than vehicle sectors and the market average. It means car buyers need to consider the total cost of ownership, as well as maintenance, fuel, and insurance.
The latest cap data also revealed the total cost of ownership varies significantly between city runabouts. The Suzuki Celerio offers the best value, with monthly costs of just £192, as well as an initial price tag of £6,944.
The three city cars with the highest service and maintenance costs are the Peugeot 108, starting from £797, the Citroen C1 starting from £771 and the Vauxhall Viva starting from £725. However, despite the high service and maintenance costs, all three appear among the best overall buys, when looking at total cost of ownership.
In contrast, the Smart ForFour Night Sky Hatchback, has the highest, monthly maintenance costs at £1,251, contrasting with the Toyota Aygo, which costs just £441 in servicing, offering great value in the top three.
Philip Nothard, cap consumer and retail editor, comments, 'The good news is that there are very attractive new car offers, with low rate PCP headline figures.
'Due to this sector being the lower-cost vehicles, they have been subject to the increased registration through pre-registrations, as they continue to be a popular option for motorists.'

There are plenty of things to take into account when selling a home. First of all, it is necessary to bear in mind that the market is driven by price.
Home buyers look for good deals, but sellers may get high returns on the sale of their property, if they have a strong equity position; indeed, they should be able to sell their realty at a very competitive price. Home buyers are highly focused on price; therefore, home sellers who must sell their property, may be obliged to sell it at a low price. Sellers who are in a low equity position may contact their Mortgage Company and try to make a short sale.
Those who are selling their home because they need more space may consider investing in the remodelling of their existing home rather than selling to move to another home.
Selling a home is not an easy matter. Buyers may withdraw from the sale even after having made an offer.
Wise sellers and their real estate agents should always remind the buyer of the benefits and quality features the home offers in order to avoid the "buyer's remorse", which is quite common among home purchasers. They should highlight the value of the property for sale and the advantages it boasts, such as its location and the amenities available in the neibourhood. A substantial money deposit is also an effective way to grant the commitment of the buyer to the sale.
Sellers and their agents should work to defend the price of the property. They should cooperate with the appraiser when establishing the value of the home for sale. They should draw attention to the details that confirm the value of the property.
In order to close a transaction successfully, it is necessary to write conditions and contingencies carefully by including a specific deadline for completion.
Before marketing a property for sale, it is advisable for sellers to have a pre-inspection in order to address the issues revealed by the inspection before providing a report to the buyer.
Anyway, the most important thing is to decide in advance a schedule of communication with all the parties involved in the transaction, in order to keep everyone focused on the transaction and get a successful sale.

Your drugs won't work if stored wrong, say docs
A fortnight ago, Priya Karve (name changed) was rushed to a city hospital with severe dehydration. The 12-year-old diabetic patient's insulin level had dipped severely.mumbai Updated: Aug 22, 2011 01:05 IST
A fortnight ago, Priya Karve (name changed) was rushed to a city hospital with severe dehydration. The 12-year-old diabetic patient's insulin level had dipped severely.
Karve's case confounded doctors because she had not skipped her insulin dose. It was later that they discovered that improper storage of the insulin vial, which Karve has to inject thrice a day, had rendered the hormone supplement useless.
"I found out that Priya was having tests in school and was keeping her insulin injection in her compass box. As the insulin was not stored at the right temperature, the injection lost its potency and led to an insulin deficiency," said Dr Anil Bhoraskar, senior diabetologist, Raheja Hospital.
Dr Bhoraskar added that at least 2 to 3 % of his patients have suffered due to not storing their medicines properly. "Patients sometimes forget to keep the insulin in the refrigerator or keep in the deep freezer instead of the butter box. This can change the profile of the insulin," said Dr Bhoraskar. While discharging patients, some hospitals have now begun specifying how their medication should be stored. Other medicines including some antibiotics, anti-fungal and cardiac drugs if not stored properly could turn risky. Some cardiac drugs need to be protected from sunlight and moisture. "Cardiac drugs such as nitrates which are used for emergency treatment of heart pain, if exposed to sunlight lose their potency and the patient may continue to suffer from heart pain (angina) despite its usage," said Dr Rajiv Karnik, interventional cardiologist, Fortis Hospital. Nicorandil, which is also used for heart pain, loses its efficacy if stored at the wrong temperature. "At least a third of my patients are at fault while storing their drugs, mainly due to lack of awareness," said Dr Karnik.
"Keep medicines in a cool, dry place, like a hallway linen closet, bedroom closet or even a kitchen cabinet away from the stove and moisture," said Dr Phulrenu Chauhan, an endocrinologist, Hinduja Hospital.

David Bostock's translation of and commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics, Books Z and H comes in the midst of a flurry of publications on the central books of Aristotle's Metaphysics. And yet, there is freshness in Bostock's approach to these books, and novelty in the proposed explanations of what can account for the "unexpected" that enriches the philosophical content of these works.
Every Zeta scholar addresses the problem of the (at least) surface contradictions that Book Zeta of the Metaphysics is committed to as the main challenge in interpreting that work. For Bostock, the internal oppositions in Zeta stem from rewritings of the chapters of this crucial book, resulting from shifts in Aristotle's thought on the most fundamental metaphysical issues he addresses in his system. Bostock detects a shift, in Z, 10-11, from Aristotle's original position that the substantial form is given by the species terms such as man, horse, oak etc, to the position that "the form of a living thing is actually its soul".
The consequence of this shift which, according to Bostock, Aristotle gradually comes to terms with, is that there are universal compounds. Accordingly, Aristotle allows that there can be definition, and hence essence, of compounds such as "pale man". But such compounds are not forms. Yet, if it is the term soul that expresses the form of a human being, and not the species term man, then man, which had formerly been taken by Aristotle as the par excellence universal that has definition and essence, turns out to be a composite, having "soul" as its form. But even as a composite it can still be defined, since composites are defined in a sense, and hence definability does not entail substancehood any more.
In Z, 13, the centre of vexed discussions, Bostock addresses the problem of the mutual claims that no universal is substance, that an essence is a substance, and that essences are universals. Bostock concludes that "there was an earlier version of the chapter in which the species form was counted as a substance, and a later version in which it was not", and that "he never carried out the reconstruction of Z and H that this change of mind so clearly demanded".
Bostock discusses at length the crucial chapter of Z, 17, concentrating on the place of the chapter in Z-H. He sees the arguments in it as establishing the "familiar" conclusion that "the substance of a thing is its form". Bostock does not address the question of how it is that the form brings about unity among the constituents of a substance, and as a consequence, I believe, he does not appreciate the significance of the chapter for showing how the role of the form as a unifier establishes the form as a subject in the substance.
Bostock offers a very good translation of the text (including an interesting rendition of ti en einai as "what-being-is"). He also offers adequate introductions and resumes, which add cohesion, making the exposition "user friendly". The book will prove to be a valuable addition to the Zeta-Eta literature.
David Furley's and Alexander Nehamas's volume of philosophical essays on Aristotle's Rhetoric comes, by contrast with Bostock's Z-H commentary, at the beginning of what seems to be a new wave of interest in rhetoric, Aristotelian or not, picking up from where it left off in the 18th century, before Romanticism abandoned the study of form independently of content, as Nehamas informs us. Our expectations of the volume are therefore enhanced, and it delivers with a series of high-calibre essays.
Miles Burnyeat's article on enthymemes exhibits excellence in scholarship and insight, as it traces the history of definition of this way of reasoning in the Aristotelian tradition. Burnyeat argues that an enthymeme is not an incomplete syllogism, despite Aristotle's definition in the Prior Analytics (which, he shows, must involve corruption of the text), but rather it is a sullogismos. Burnyeat takes us through the history of the Aristotelian text as well as through the treatment of the enthymemes by his commentators. He concludes that "an enthymeme is not a kind of sullogismos, still less a kind of syllogism . . . It is a sullogismos of a kind and a demonstration of a kind", namely enthymemes from likelihoods and from signs. These are "of a kind" because they are not strict deductions, but inferences from what is likely to be the case, and from signs that something is the case.
Eckart Schutrumpf's paper addresses the relation between the introductory chapter of Aristotle's Rhetoric and Platonic texts, showing that questions taken up in it had been the theme of Platonic discussion in the Phaedrus, the Gorgias and the Laws. Furthermore, he offers an explanation of the apparent incompatibility between Aristotle's teaching and practice, namely, that Aristotle eliminates justice as a subject for rhetoric at the beginning of the work, but nevertheless proceeds to instruct how orators should deal with such topics in the rest of the Rhetoric. He explains this incompatibility as a result of the inevitable shortfall between the business of orators in an ideal state, and that in a real, less-than-perfect polis.
John Cooper addresses the thorny question of the subject matter of rhetoric from the point of view of the relationship of the principles of rhetoric to the truths in the political domain. He shows that there are formal principles of rhetoric pertaining to the structures of argumentation, and substantive ones pertaining to the subject matters of ethics and politics. The rhetorician has access to the substantive principle of ethics and politics not through knowledge but through knowing the endoxa, the reputed beliefs in a society, which, for Aristotle, are likely to be the truth. So the rhetorician is different from the ethical or political scientist in that he/she does not have knowledge of the truth. Rather, Cooper explains, the orator acquires the capacity to discern the truth, not through an application of philosophy - which Socrates advocated in the Phaedrus - but through a "genuinely independent art", namely dialectic.
Nehamas focuses on the knowledge status of the orator in an interesting exploration of the cognitive nature of emotions. He uses Aristotle's treatment of emotions in the Rhetoric to elucidate and enhance the account of emotions given in the Poetics. Nehamas addresses the question of the relation of emotions to truth, finding that it is not their cognitive content, but the grounds on which emotions are based, which make them rational and introduce considerations of correctness. Nehamas discusses in particular the Aristotelian exposition of fear and pity in the Rhetoric, and appraises its significance for our understanding of the notion of katharsis in the Poetics.
In the final paper, Andre Laks argues that Aristotle's explicit theory of metaphor (as opposed to his practice) is not as open to interpretation in terms of the cognitive potential of the metaphorical process as has often been assumed. The fact that the passages that establish a link between metaphor and cognition all stem from the Rhetoric is by itself already significant for Laks, who proceeds to analyse the crucial passage of Rhetoric III, 10 and show that it is part of the rhetorical strategy to induce in the listeners quasicognitive processes in which they will take pleasure. In that sense, Laks explains, understanding a metaphor is understanding the lexical substitution (eidos-eidos, eidos-genos, etc.) that is at the bottom of the metaphorical expression, and not understanding something about the nature of the thing itself.

Congratulations to Rich and Mirek for deepening the CS-Ornithology connection with this facinating research agenda!
Tracking Environmental Change through the Data Resources of the Bird-monitoring Community
Cornell University has been granted an award to address a fundamental problem in population biology: How can we estimate true abundance of wild bird populations across North America? They approach this problem from three directions. First, they will use one of the largest and longest-running resources of environmental time-series data sets in existence by organizing the distributed resources of observation-based bird monitoring projects. Second, they will develop novel data analysis methods targeted for analyzing abundance of wild bird populations across North America. Their data mining approaches include ensemble learning, statistical smoothing, multi-task machine learning, and the estimation of change in abundance over time to quantify variation in spatio-temporal variation in abundance and to estimate the impact of environmental conditions. Third, they will make all data and analysis tools available online to allow browsing of bird-monitoring data. Fast response times are guaranteed through novel methods for approximate results to data-exploration queries. In addition to advancing research both in computer science and population biology, they will expose advances in high performance computing and data analysis to new audiences, from biologists, conservation agencies, and land planners to school classrooms and through their website to the literally millions of people who watch and appreciate wild birds. They will enable online interpretation of the results of their analyses and computations through web-based data visualizations and active dissemination and use of this information through collaborative education and conservation programs.

Birthday Fun!
Posted by Natalie at 10:56 PM 0 comments
Happy Birthday to my little Love
My little man is 5 today. I can not believe he's been here making me laugh, smile, cry, love... for 5 whole years now. FIVE is a huge number for me. To me, it means my baby is old enough for school & soon I will be dropping him off at his first day of Kindergarten. For at least the past 6 months leading up to this day, everything I think about 5 I get a little sad. But, I also have to say that I'm so thankful that Davis is smart, funny, sweet, and growing up to be such a wonderful and joyful little boy. It's bittersweet.
Thank you God, for 5 years of so much fun, love & laughter. Thank you for Davis!
Dear Davis,
Mommy is so proud of the little boy you are growing up to be. You are a great big brother to Reese. She loves you so much and I love watching all of the fun things you two come up with together. I love the time we get to spend together. You are so sweet to me. You make mommy feel so special with our sweet talks before bedtime every night. You are so smart & you are learning so much everyday. I look forward everyday to hearing the funny, profound, and just completely adorable things you will say. You are soooooo much FUN!!! You mean so much to me, and I'm so blessed to be your mommy! I love you, I love you, I love you!
You are my sunshine...You'll never know how much I love!
Love, Mommy

MICHAEL WATTS, a 14- year-old freshman at Centennial High School, recently spent a weekend in Boston recording a segment that will be heard on National Public Radio. Michael, a cello player who lives in Ellicott City, will be featured on From the Top, a weekly showcase of young classical musicians that is heard on nearly 300 radio stations throughout the nation. Locally, the hourlong show is heard on WETA (90.9 FM) at 7 p.m. Sundays.
Michael and the other members of his string quartet played the first movement of Dvorak's "American" Quartet for the show. They were interviewed by host Christopher O'Riley, a concert pianist and recording artist. The other members of the quartet are violinist Molly Baer of Reisterstown, violinist Benjamin Detrick of Seven Valleys, Pa., and viola player Nicholas Mauro of York, Pa. All are in ninth grade.
"The whole group was interviewed," said Michael's mother, Lisa Watts. "Each person got a chance to talk."
The members of the quartet got together about two years ago, Lisa said. The young people met through Collette Wichert, who teaches violin to Michael's sister Emily, a fifth-grader at Centennial Lane Elementary School.

"Dinner...books...blanket...jammies....dinner...books...blanket...jammies..." Ellie slogs through the mud to the steady rhythm of these motivational words. She's on her way down from the longest hike we've done in a while. The Wind Cave trail is a popular destination point in Logan Canyon, and we've never hiked it as a family before. We spent the morning cleaning the house using this hike as bribery, and now Ellie is wishing she'd never cleaned her room so we wouldn't have been able to make it.
The day started out glorious but quickly turned colder, with intermittent snow flurries. I am grateful that Jason packed his backpack full of quick-energy snacks for the kids. We stop several times to load their pockets full so they can munch while we walk.
On the last few hikes we've taken, Ethan has developed a fear of walking on the outer edge of the trail. His patient Papa trades places with him at every switchback, holding his hand all the way.
The sun pops through the clouds every so often, giving us a small taste of the spring weather we're all anxious for. Though the winter has been very mild, I am ready for more time outside and green growth rather than the brownish-gray bare branches.
As we trudge along, we discuss which kind(s) of magic would be best to possess. Ellie ultimately decides she'd like a mixture of fairy magic ("where you just think about things or nod your head and it appears"), Harry Potter magic (requiring a wand) and the ability to make rocks and dirt come alive (like Hugo, the golem in Fablehaven).
Once Ellie decides on her magical preferences, she is quiet for a while. The sloppy mud and occasional snow-covered section of trail makes hiking treacherous. She suddenly loses patience, and in an effort to restore harmony before long-lasting damage is done to our hiking memories, I attempt to distract her with one of her favorite games.
Ellie is a word-lover, like her Mama. One of the most effective ways to help her communicate, express her feelings and bring her quickly out of a bad mood is our "Name This Feeling" Game. To play, just make one word out of the mixture of emotions you are feeling. Tired and Hungry becomes Tungry, or Hired. Angry and Disappointed becomes Angrappointed or Disappangry. In an attempt to lighten the mood, I say, "Ellie describe the trail...is it goopy and sloppy equals gloppy?" I am surprised by her response. "It's detestable," she says, "that means horrid."
She's not the only one worn out by the trek. Ethan, who walked the entire way up the trail, is now riding on Jason's shoulders. He is trying to find a comfortable spot on the top of Jason's head to lay down. Sweet Daddy readjusts the tuckered-out boy and before long, Ethan is asleep in Jason's arms.
As I watch Jason carry our son down the trail, I am happy. Happy to be outside with my family in the somewhat-sunshine. Happy to be able to discuss important things like magic, and the remains of an animal we discovered along the trail, with my daughter. Happily and overwhelmingly in love with this man:
He gave his jacket to Ellie when she complained of the cold and carried Ethan's dead-asleep weight down the entire trail. He has mud on his forehead from Ethan's shoes as the boy clambered onto his shoulders. He is our hero and provider. He has dreams in which he is a ninja. On the way home from our adventure, he tells me that not only was his backpack filled with water and snacks but he also threw in a hatchet, matches and rope.
Just in case.
How lucky am I?

Starbucks, in partnership with USA TODAY, is about to tackle the issue of race in America.
This week, baristas at 12,000 Starbucks locations nationally will try to spark customer conversation on the topic of race by writing two words on customer cups: Race Together. Also, a special "Race Together" newspaper supplement, co-authored by Starbucks and USA TODAY, will appear in USA TODAY print editions beginning Friday, March 20. It also will be distributed at Starbucks stores.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is on a mission to encourage Starbucks customers and employees to discuss race, under the firm belief that it's a critical first step toward confronting — and solving — racial issues as a nation. It is scheduled to be a key topic at the java giant's annual meeting on Wednesday.
"Racial diversity is the story of America, our triumphs as well as our faults," says the opening letter to the eight-page supplement and conversation guide, signed by Schultz and Larry Kramer, president and publisher of USA TODAY. "Yet racial inequality is not a topic we readily discuss. It's time to start."Read the Full Article

What: Shares of Great Basin Gold
So what: Shares of this small gold mining company surged today, but investors should bear in mind that it doesn't take much, since the stock trades at $2 and change. One week ago, it reported some bullish news about some of its mining operations as well as a sequential increase in fourth-quarter gold sales.
Now what: Here lately, any mention of gold has thrilled investors more often than not, so it's not surprising many would be interested in small mining stocks. Furthermore, gold bulls still tout the precious metals as the Federal Reserve continues to pump liquidity into the market, raising concerns about inflation and even more interest in precious metals. Still, investors should be wary and choose their gold investments carefully; whether small miners like Great Basin Gold are the best bets is worth a deep dig into the industry.

This has been a thing since MGO1.
Hell, You had to spend 24-hours inside a cardboard box in MGO2 just to get the Box Rush ability.
Nobody did it legit. You just hide and camp in a box for 24-hours.
This ain't new.
Loved the DJMax Portable games, Portable 2 the most.
Just wish we could see a traditional DJMax Portable game instead of these Touch-focused ones.
Still, look forward to trying this one out.
I think the trend is that they release the same year as their E3 reveals.
Fallout 3 and Skyrim were announced a year prior to their E3 appearances.
They're both different forks of the same original project by InhexSTER.
I prefer the simplicity of DS4Windows, though.
InputMapper is more robust, but way more than an average person needs.
Each region has 4 or 5 specific spots that the chest can randomly spawn, on both Earth and Venus.
Doesn't seem like the $100 entry fee for Greenlight is enough of a quality control.
The setting, atmosphere, and ambiance alone, mixed with some good sound design can make a completely non-threatening situation in any game feel terrifying.
I remember playing Gone Home for the first time, dreading every corner and dark hallway, fully expecting something to try to kill me.
As well as in Alien Isolation, the most scary parts for me were the scenes where there's absolutely nothing happening. You're in no danger at all, but you're walking slow, eyes pe...
I had one of those explode in a power strip the first day I had it.
Tried to unplug it, and the whole thing just came apart in the socket.
Might not have been that exact one. Seems to be a ton of clones of that thing.
Same here. I got the $90 Gold Edition at G2A for only $40.
It's still in my account, and I can currently still play it.
Okay, this update pushed me to buy the game.
All of these quality updates for free is making me wonder,
what the hell is in the Season Pass...?
The devs only really mention what they have planned during interviews and such.
They haven't talked about the meat of the game on stage, and have really only shown the same planet/flying gameplay.
That's the problem, nobody knows what the game is, or what it will be.
Now, from everything I've gathered, it sounds like it'd be a mix of Starbound and EVE Online. Exploring planets, fighting for resources to upgrade your ship to be able to explore f...
Why do I keep buying these?
Was The Guy Game on PS2 ever rated AO?
I remember they were under fire for the one underage chick that flashed her tits.
"You missed THE best MGS in the series. go play MGS3."
Fixed that. XD
I sometimes pirate games I'm on the fence about, and there's no demo for me to try.
If I like it, then I buy it. If not, then I usually just don't even play it anymore.
Recent example of this was Alien: Isolation. I pirated it to demo, and ended up loving it.
I played about 4 hours, and then bought it on Steam.
Now, is that an okay thing to do? I dunno, but if I judged the game on only most of the reviews out there, I probably wouldn't have touc...
When did A Realm Reborn get Game of the Year?
I agree on the Co-Op. I feel like they missed out on a huge opportunity.
Also, the game is 5 bucks on Steam right now. Take advantage.
Avermedia's ExtremeCap U3 can already Capture/Record in 1080p60, and is already a bit cheaper than the price ElGato's solution is rumored to launch at.
The only problem with the Extremecap is it uses USB 3.0, which is very picky with what it works with.
I have to imagine the HD60 is going the same route as well, due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.
They haven't said whether this is available to Xbox Live Silver members.
I wouldn't pay for both this AND Gold...
Subscribing to EA Access should allow me to play the Vault games, and play online in select EA Games.

Slang reference to someone who is the protector, and lover, of a Prostitute or group of Prostitutes.
This a general slang term, that refers to a person who is the husband of a Prostitute, their Lover, or their Pimp.
Generally it refers to the manager or pimp or protector for a prostitute.

They can be the one who looks after the needs of the working girl, such as cloths, bail, and so on.

Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.
A method of calculating the two-dimensional laminar boundary layer is presented following closely the approximate solution of Pohlhausen. The boundary layer is divided into two regions, each described by third-order polynomials. By assuming that the point of intersection of the two curves is linearly related to the displacement thickness, the boundary layers are reduced to a one-parameter family. The method of solution thus becomes identical with the Pohlhausen method using the reevaluated auxiliary functions presented here. Comparison with some exact solutions clearly shows the improvement effected by the present technique.

text: We arrived at the hotel early and the room we had asked for was not ready. The staff who welcomed us tried to accommodate us by offering to go to the pool to relax. The room was ready in an hour. It was exactly what we had asked for. The location is excellent, walking distance from city center and the beach. The breakfast buffet is amazing for the price. We recommend everyone to include breakfast in their reservations. The room was clean and nice and the amenities were superb. I used the computer to print, they could use a faster setup, but that is minimal. Overall rating is Excellent! We will go again and recommend this place.

Hello, my name is Stephen Niven, and I would like to welcome you to my own personal blog. I am an 19 year old, who currently lives in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom; and an avid fan of video games, Pro Evolution Soccer, football and Arsenal! As well as this, I have an interest in the digital marketing industry. This WordPress blog will mainly be about video games (such as in the title), but from time to time, I will also write posts that will focus away from those topics.
Anyway, as I said earlier, I am a huge fan of video games; and well, basically I love them! At this current time, I own over 500 of them, on ten different playable consoles, for instance, the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. I started playing video games from my early childhood, and since then I've liked them more and more, to the point when in September 2015, I thought that it would be a good idea to start a blog that would be based around video games.
On a serious note – as a disclaimer, please note that all images and videos, that are used on the blog, are the property of their owners respectively, and that the usage of them fall within the guidelines of 'fair use'. Anyhow, I plan to post two times a month; usually once on a Monday and another on a Friday. Thanks for looking at my blog!

By the end with Season a few of Showtime's "Dexter"
Women's Keke Coutee Jersey
, much of the series' enthusiasts were a little put off from the repetitivenes on the storyline with little in order to no progression within the part of most of the personas. I necessarily mean, really, the quantity of times might Dexter "almost" find caught? It felt stagnant and old. Not to mention that Papa Harry has been mostly MIA whenever Dex required him nearly all. Well, after watching the very first three symptoms of Season 6, we're planning to go out on a limb in this article and say that elements have in truth changed, definitely for the better.
The particular episodes, entitled "Those Different Things", "Once With a Time.", and "Smokey plus the Bandit", jump ahead of time about 12 months since we left off in Period 5. Dexter is bonding using Harrison, has hired Batista's sibling as his new nanny, and is all about to show up at his graduation reunion. Naturally he provides an ulterior purpose for accomplishing the latter, and those scenes are a few of the highlights of not merely the anxiety attack but possibly the entire series : hilarious! Kudos that will new showrunner Scott Buck for uncovering an edge of Dexter all of us haven't witnessed before. Part of the show your in "Smokey" calls for Dexter crossing paths which includes a serial killer from their past, someone whose handiwork they started following growing up but and then lost monitor of. The end result is fashionable "Dexter", of course , if I weren't 100% sold around the new season up right up until that level, well, it certainly made the believer outside of me!
Scenario Deb can be working the woman's way way up the command chain, much towards the chagrin with her mismatched son friend Quinn, who's so hard as long as get the woman's to pay out he perhaps asks Dexter to intercede with his account. The a lesser amount of said about this, the improved. Those connected with you exactly who weren't supporting the BatistaLaguerta dynamic will like the turn involving events right now there, and Masuka's large fanbase might be pleased by simply his dominance in these kind of early eps, particularly when the lovely Brea Grant happens the world. And in terms of Harry? Very well, we could hardly be secure for her increased reputation and enhanced relationship together with his wayward daughter.
So our series regulars are moving forward with nearly as big a development spurt since young Harrison, but how about the newcomers? Colin Hanks when Travis and also Edward Adam Olmos as his guru of kinds, Professor Gellar, will work together within the shadows upon something bluish and distressful that was not made clear adjusted yet; then again, the shutting scene around Episode 3 is among the most hard to bear things we've seen on this subject show nonetheless. You considered the Snow Truck Mindblowing and Trinity were being twisted? Very well, brace yourself simply because they seem tame compared to the dastardly deeds this specific new duo is as long as. Molly Parker would make her earliest appearance inside "Once On a Time." since Travis' sis, Lisa, who looks like it's the simply positive push in their odd living.
nd conversing of positive forces, definitly our favourite Season six addition so far will be Brother Sam (Mos Def). We're undoubtedly finding him to be intriguingly complex and also a perfect foil intended for our "hero" as just as before masterfully portrayed by Jordan C. Hallway. Anyone worried about the religious undertones alluded to within the promo products released therefore far may relax. Nothing's overdone or maybe heavy-handed; instead it's all about the various characters' excursions of asking yourself and trying to get answers . and also possibly payoff? Headsy stuff no doubt, but it is extremely welcome following the lightweight experience of Time of year 5.
So in general, while we can't guarantee the upcoming season of "Dexter" will probably mark a return to its wonder days (Seasons one particular and 5 being the one you have truly's personal favorites), it's on the proper path, particularly when the OlmosHanks pairing leads to a payoff worthy of the installation thus way. We're absolutely praying for this!
This season seems like it's off with a better start out. This event had a considerably quicker pace, a lot of humorous views, great comedic narration by Dexter and a few pretty anxious moments. Michael jordan C. Hall however delivers the wonderfully deadpan performance since the oddball investigator by daytime, killer associated with other killers through night plus the other stars are with the top in their game at the same time.
The health benefits of Olmos and Hanks was an almost silent as well as eerie method. We hardly know who they may be, other in comparison with religious people on a murdering spree. It's creepy plus both personalities deliver excellent performances, despite the small screen time on this episode.
All round, it was a powerful start with the show and but not much comprehension was gained regarding where we're advancing, I'm still awaiting seeing just what exactly the writers have available for all of us.

Oscar C. Peña was born and raised in Kingsville, Texas. His poetry reflects a love of family, growing up in a small town and a belief that joy, pain, sorrow, laughter and love are meant to be shared.
A member of The Poetry Society of Texas, Gulf Coast Poets, and the Galveston Poets Round Table, Oscar has been a featured poet at the Webster Barnes and Noble; Seabrook Coffee Oasis Poetry Reading Series; and was a Juried Poet at the 2007 Houston Poetry Fest.
The three poems below are from Oscar C. Peña's book Fire of Thorns.
Protest at Saint Martin's
My mother gave me two dimes
before mass started---
one's for you and one's for God.
Men reached out with baskets
and she noticed I gave nothing.
Give the man themuuuney!
I cannn't.
Did you lose your dime?
Nooo, just God's, I whispered in reply.
Eight years old and dry-mouthed nervous
during first communion; when Padre José places
the hostia on my tongue the wafer flutters
in my mouth and hangs there like a bat.
My tongue stabs at the intruder, my eyes are melting,
I'm gonna vomit if I don't spit.
A woman, in widow's black, grabs
and pulls me to her bosom. Her rosary worrying my teeth,
she jabs a gnarled finger and rams the cracker
down my throat.
It was a miracle---
That night…
Amá, I was kinda wondering…
Mom interrupted---
don't worry, God will find his dime.
~~Oscar Peña
This mythical city of gold drew Conquistadores
to the new world in search of that which does not exist.
I look into the water
and see what others do not,
viridian, ochre, gold, beryllium ores
of rose, emerald and aquamarine,
coral, silver, yellowed reds and jade.
Dive deep,
reaching for what calls
a little deeper,
but I cannot touch.
Now afraid
the surface far above
I turn back
and swim, and swim, and swim.
Help me,
tired, too far---
I break into the light,
gasp the air and vow never…
I look into the water
and see what others do not,
viridian, ochre, gold, beryllium ores---
And I dive.
~~Oscar Peña
My father said,
I took care of my sister
when I was eight years old
while Papá y Mamá picked cotton.
We stayed under a tin roof
hiding from the sun.
She died.
My father said,
I walked with Papá
and other men to a ranch
near the town of Carlotta to collect wages---
no one went to knock
or call the man out.
My father said,
Ranchos always have dogs looking for an excuse,
we were announced … we waited…
kicked rocks and waited…
talked about weather and women… and waited.
The man finally came out and asked what we wanted.
I hated that man.
My father said---
Lo odio.
Seventy years and his words still dripped
strong and sweet as wild honey
waiting to sting.
My father never told me his sister's name.
~~Oscar Peña

Paramount would sure like to think so.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Par is said to be in "early development" on a new version of the 30 year old story. No writers have been tapped yet, so dont expect many details at this time.
Doing a reboot of "Meatballs" makes perfect sense. With the surprise success of "The Hangover" still bringing in solid numbers at the box office, Paramount is assuming that audiences are clammoring to see even more potty humor. And since all those teens that snuck into theaters in 1979 are now middle-aged and trying to find that spark of excitement they had when they were kids, the nostalgia aspect of the story might help to put more asses into the seats as well.
Directed by Ivan Reitman, the original story is about a sad-sack loser of a kid that reluctantly goes to summer camp and meets up with a wacky camp counselor (played by Bill Murray) who helps him build his self-confidence.
Here's a snippet from the original Variety review from 79:
Scripters have managed to gloss over the stereotypes and come up with aI love how this review is written by someone that desperately wants you to know they went to film school (or at least hung out with the guys that did). However its too early to tell if the reboot is going to have any of the charm that the original film did. Dont hold your breath.
smooth-running narrative that makes the camp hijinks part of an overall human
mosaic. No one is unduly belittled or mocked, and Meatballs is without the usual
grossness and cynicism of many contempo comedy pix.
Here's the original trailer. God that music makes me want to scream:

1 question in Day 4: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M.
Starring: Carlos Bernard, Dennis Haysbert, Elisha Cuthbert, Kiefer Sutherland, Leslie Hope, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Reiko Aylesworth, Xander Berkeley
Day 4: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. - S4-E12
Question: In this episode, Jack is at the offoces of McClennon/Forrester and realizes they are going to set off an EMP to destroy all the computer hardware. Jack tries to stop it and realizes he cannot. Just as the EMP goes off, Jack crouches behind a door for protection and screams as the EMP goes off. However later, Audrey is told the EMP would not harm Jack or Paul. It would only affect all electronic devices. So why would Jack need to find protection behind a door and why would he need to scream when the device went off?SAZOO1975
Chosen answer: The device is an EMP that is in development and, as such, may not be stable. While its true that an EMP in itself is harmless to people, there may be electrical discharges or shorts from the device itself that could harm a person, hence Jack takes cover. As for his scream, its not a scream of pain, but a scream of frustration at not being able to stop the EMP going off.roboc

Eastern Air Lines, battered by years of brawling between management and labor, is on its own for at least two more weeks as it looks for a place to land.
The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly last week to force President Bush to order striking machinists back to work, with federal mediators spending 60 days trying to bring order out of Eastern's internal chaos. But the Senate recessed for two weeks without acting on the bill, so government will be out of the picture at least that long.
Besides, as The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, the anger among Eastern workers, pilots as well as machinists, is so intense that "the instincts for self-preservation that normally propel labor disputes toward resolution seem notably missing." Sixty days are not likely to dampen the anger or undo antagonisms that have been building for more than a decade.
Whether Eastern finds a place to land depends partly on what Frank Lorenzo, president of Texas Air Corp., which owns Eastern and Continental airlines, wants to do and partly on what a bankruptcy judge will let him do. Lorenzo has talked about selling off Eastern's fleet, its ownership of landing slots at major airports and other assets piecemeal. He also has talked of keeping the airline going as is or selling it.

How are both of my loyal readers on this fine Friday?
This week I thought it would be fun to discuss comic strips. I remember reading strips in the local paper for decades. Haven't done that for years I'm afraid. The paper has been downsized to a point where I would never pay that much for it.
Kind of sad.
Nothing replaces the smell of newsprint I'm afraid.
Remember when comics were printed on that stuff?
Anyway, I now just hop on over to Go Comics for my fix.
Here's the rundown;
Frazz is fun if you consider that the main character could very well be Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes all grown up. That and being a bike rider I appreciate his enthusiasm even when I disagree with how he does it. I'm more of a commuter though so what are you going to do?
Cartoon baby strips can be funny. Thatababy works because they aren't afraid to let their Geek flag fly.
This is pretty adult humor for a comic strip, but it is a pretty funny strip. The things that Monty gets himself into are most of the time pretty hilarious.
This one is my oldest son's fault. He started reading it so I started reading it. I think he finally gave up on it, but Bucky kills me.
A guy who writes from home and is addicted to coffee. Yeah, no idea why I like this strip. (Insert sarcasm where appropriate.)
Looks like it is drawn with a sharpie and a pencil. Not funny, but fascinating to read. I love that his cat's name is Mr. Peterson, but she's a girl.
Done is a chaotic rough style this is always funny. I use it to pick on my two daughters who do many things that happen in the strip.
Ah, Agnes and her little friend Trout. Raised by her Grandma in a run down trailer park. Agnes never lets any of this get her down and continues on her road to greatness. Always makes me smile.
This is the best strip out there. Creator Richard Thompson says he had to retire due to Parkinson's, but I swear that sometimes I see new strips. Probably my ancient brain misfiring into the land of wishful thinking. Who knows?
All comics are property of their respective creators and are here for review purposes only. Do not sue me I have no money.

THROUGHOUT THIS PAST YEAR, JIMMY HAS HAD ME CALL ON THE PHONE FAMILY MEMBERS OF INMATES, IF THEY ARE IN NEED OF A SPECIAL FAVOR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO WONDERFUL PEOPLE!...WIVES, MOTHERS,BROTHERS, GIRLFRIENDS. THAT IS HOW WE ARE, JIMMY AND I...WE LIKE TO HELP PEOPLE .........AND SO, BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I CALLED A BROTHER OF AN INMATE. AFTER A NICE CONVERSATION, HE ACTUALLY INVITED ME TO CHRISTMAS DINNER WITH HIS FAMILY! CAN YOU IMAGINE...A PURE STRANGER!......KNOWING MY HUSBAND WAS IN PRISON. HE TOLD ME AROUND 30 FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD BE THERE, COMING AND GOING, WITH CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND THE PLACE. IT IS INDEED A BLESSING FOR ME TO MEET THESE PEOPLE!.....AND SO YESTERDAY , JIMMY ASKED ME TO CALL SOMEONES MOTHER. IT WAS ALREADY 10PM, BUT I TOOK THE CHANCE. MAYBE THIS ONE PERSON WOULD SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT, HAVING HEARD ABOUT HER SON THRU ME..............WELL, SURE ENOUGH, I WAS HIGHLY BLESSED!........"SHE" WAS A 77 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 9 CHILDREN. HER "BABY," WAS IN PRISON...(44yr. old baby!....IT'S OK! MY MOTHER ALWAYS CALLED ME HER "BABY" NO MATTER HOW OLD I GOT!) "IS HE OK?" SHE GASPED INTO THE PHONE. "YES, HE'S DOING JUST FINE," I SAID. " HE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HIS PIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING AND HE HAS BEEN HERE FOR 1 MONTH." THEN I PROCEEDED TO GIVE HER THE NUMBER TO CALL IN THE MORNING TO GET THINGS STRAIGHTENED OUT. SHE ASKED HOW I WAS DOING. I SOMEHOW SAID,"WELL, I'M ALL ALONE." QUICKLY SHE SAID TO ME, "NO, MY CHILD, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. NEVER SAY YOU ARE ALONE. THAT GIVES SATAN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE IN WHEN HE HEARS THOSE WORDS. ALWAYS SAY "JESUS IS WITH ME." AND PRAISE THE LORD USING "ALLELULIA" AND "HALLILULIA." .......THESE WERE THE MOST COMFORTING AND BEST WORDS ANYONE COULD HAVE TOLD ME. I FELT SO BLESSED TO HAVE SPOKEN TO THIS WOMAN.....AND TRUTHFULLY, SHE FELT LIKE A CARING MOTHER TO ME.

i am also an inmate wife. my husband is in the florida prison system. i don't know what state system your husband is in, but the florida prison system has to be the worst! i too have gotten those calls from my husband asking me to call another inmates family or loved ones. being able to hear the relief in their voice is heart warming. and i have also received calls from other inmates using my husbands pin # when he forgot to sign the phone list, or for some reason he was unable to use the phone. my husband calls home faithfully every night. the thoughts and fears that run through my head when that phone call is not received is unimaginable.i have been there. i have been looking for someone to share my feelings and thoughts with. someone who knows and understands what i'm going through. i have family and friends, but none of them have ever been in my shoes. they really don't understand.
while my hussband has been incarcerated we to have dealt with 2 deaths in the family with in 1 year! the 1st was my dad, and he and my husband were really close, the 2nd was his grandfather whom i cared for in my home. there rules are inhumane. after that i started having uncontrollable panic attacks that have now led to agoraphobia. i am scared to leave my home. so now i am a prisoner in my own home. i do manage to heavily medicate myself every sunday to go visit with my husband. i've not missed a visit yet, not do i plan to. just for the record i am a 32 year old single mom now. things have been everything but easy!
i appreciate your time and thank you very much for listening.
i needed this! my chest feels a little lighter this morning.
thank you again
