“Are you an asset or liability?”
When you walk into the lobby of the ServiceMaster headquarters building in Downers Grove, Illinois, you see on your right a curving marble wall that stretches ninety feet and stands eighteen feet tall. Carved prominently in that stonewall in letters four feet high are their four corporate values:
* To honor God in all we do
* To help people develop
* To pursue excellence
* To grow profitably
Is it any wonder then that return on equity has averaged 50 percent and stock values have grown in value from one dollar per share to over fifty-four dollars per share? That kind of sustained performance does not happen unless God and people are assets to be esteemed and not “tools” to be used for turning a profit or personal ambition.
In today’s America God and people are quickly becoming liabilities and no longer assets. When ServiceMaster first established their corporate values and made them prominent, it raised eyebrows. The critics asked, “Aren’t you on shaky ground when you try to mix God and profits? And what about employees who don’t choose to behave the way you do, aren’t you forcing your religious beliefs on them?”
We live and work in a pluralistic society where many question the very existence of God and our right as believers to represent Him in the marketplace. When determining whether you are an asset or a liability keep in context which Kingdom comes first the secular kingdoms of this earth or the Kingdom of Light. One is temporal, the other is eternal. I believe you must be an asset to both but for different reasons.
In your drive to be an asset in today’s marketplace, which gives you the platform to represent the Kingdom of Light, don’t allow your work environment be emasculated to a neutrality of no belief at best, or worse, one of disbelief. You are an asset to your workplace when you add to the bottom line profits. You are an asset to the Kingdom of Light when you live your faith without apology in a way that honors God and adds value and dignity to your team members.
“For even I (Jesus) came to earth not to be served but to serve others and give his life as a ransom for many” Mark 10:45.
Anyone with a servant’s heart is an asset to any company and certainly to God’s kingdom. Christians do a lot of damage when they try to be an asset in God’s kingdom but are a liability to the company in which they represent Him. And vice-versa, they work hard being an asset to the company but fail as an ambassador for God’s kingdom. | 10christianity

Even a moderate exercise program will have an impact. Be sure to include both exercise that promotes strength and endurance (walking, swimming, bicycling, rowing) and flexibility and balance (yoga, stretching, weight training).
The failure to have dental cleanings and a dental check up every six months put your oral health at risk. When your oral health is poor, you are likely to experience teeth loss, repelling odor, or gum disease. You should keep your appointments with the dentist as it helps to detect dental problems detected at early stages. | 39medical

An old acquaintance messaged me a few minutes ago and started the whole "Wow, what are you doing up at 3am?" conversation. When I mentioned I was about to film a couple of videos for my new YouTube channel, they responded with "rly? u think people ACTUALLY care about what you have to say?"
Um. Well.. Yea? I mean, I hope so. Anyways, this just ties in perfectly to something I've been thinking a lot about over the past couple of days: Positivity.
Why IS it that the world seems to have so little of it sometimes? People always want to gossip about the negative things. And then there are those people who only see the bad side...... to EVERYTHING. But why?! That's such a horrible and unhappy way to live!
And.. unfortunately, sometimes those people are your parents. Or your boss. Or even your friends or your partner. How do you avoid letting them bring you down? And how do you respond to someone close to you when they attack everything you stand for and do? Well, you can either distance yourself, or confront them and try to change their outlook on life.
One of my favorite things to do is to think of things I'm thankful for throughout the day. For instance: even when our dogs are barking their heads off for no reason and it's on my last nerve... I'm thankful that we have them because they are sweet and affectionate girls who love us unconditionally. When I don't want to drive an hour to the studio to work... I'm thankful I have a job in an economy where SO many people don't AND that it's a job I love and that I have a great boss who believes in me no matter what. When I don't want to cook dinner, I think about the fact that I not only have food to cook, but it's also tasty and nutritious food... when so many people go hungry.
So, you see.. there is ALWAYS something good in every situation. It might not always be apparent, but it's there. Somehow. Some way. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
My challenge to you is to think about something you're thankful for and post it in the comments below. And then put a smile on your face! Because even when things suck.. and you feel alone.. guess what. I'm here and I believe in you and love you. No matter what.
So hold your head up high and smile on, my darlings! | 50philosophy

The founder of Extrial Music and one half of the Influential Music Group R2BEES, Mugeez’s new hit ‘Six In Da Morning’ is presented by Extrial Music and R2Bees Entertainment.
It was produced by the award-winning producer Chopstix from Nigeria. The soothing and melodic afrobeat-masterpiece drags you in straight from the first chord. Mugeez truly is the Music-Man his fans know him for.
While his previous releases “Dripping” and “Chihuahua” are still all over Ghana and the rest of the world with airplay on BBC and other international radio stations, Mugeez is making most of the current Corona lockdown and keeps on creating in his studio.
“These releases are all part of a build-up for my first solo EP coming out at the end of this year”, stated Mugeez.
He disclosed that though he is working on his single projects, he is also continuously working with R2Bess and the duo will at the end of May release a project with Iakopo and Sean Paul called ‘Closer to You’.
He said, “due to the corona crisis, our plans to host a concert in London and also to perform at the Afro Nation in Puerto Rico had to be postponed.” But Mugeez stays positive and points out that “this crisis allows us to have more introspection about life and see what’s important and what is not.”

Today the Lefortovo Court of Moscow can make a decision on the arrest of Maksimenko, Nikandrov and Lamonov.
The detained Deputy Head of the Main Investigation Department of the Russian Investigative Committee in Moscow, Major General Denis Nikandrov, head of physical protection department of the Russian Investigative Committee Mikhail Maksimenko and his deputy Alexander Lamonov, will be brought to the Lefortovo Court of Moscow. Investigators have sent a request to the court for their arrest. Three senior officials are suspected of Abuse of Official Powers (Art. 286 of the Russian Criminal Code) and Bribe-Taking (Art. 290 of the Russian Criminal Code). The press office of the Lefortovo Court of Moscow reported this to Interfax.
Each of the defendants may face up to 15 years of imprisonment with a fine of up to 70 times the amount of the bribe.
Earlier it was reported that Nikandrov and Maksimenko had been detained. During the interrogation, the latter denied the allegations, claiming he had not taken any bribes, a source of TASS reported. In total, according to the latest data, seven high-ranking officials of the Main Investigation Department of the Russian Investigative Committee are being checked for involvement in malfeasance.
The investigation claims that Nikandrov was providing protection for the gang members of a mafia boss Shakro Molodoy. In particular, this spring, an investigator in the criminal case of a shootout at the Elements restaurant on the Rochdelskaya Street did not extend the arrest for one of the defendants, Andrey Kochuykov (Italian). Shakro Molodoy offered 1 million USD for his release. Coincidentally, this is the amount of bribe incriminated to Nikandrov.
It is worth noting that the kingpin’s lawyer Alexander Gofshtein knows nothing about today's detentions. He said that he found no connection between these events and the case of his client.
Ex-Head of the Yekaterinburg Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption (OEBiPK) Vladimir Nechaev has evaded the FSB operatives right during the operation to detain him, having managed to transfer a house and plot in the Istra district of the Moscow region into the ownership of his underage daughter.
"Whoever owns Bronka rules the city." Why did Poltavchenko become interested in port of disgraced oligarch?
In November of last year, stevedoring companies of St. Petersburg faced black Friday. The port of Bronka departed to the clan of all-powerful ex-Head of the Federal Guard Service (FSO) Evgeny Murov. The other day it became known that oligarch Dmitry Mikhalchenko’s port of Bronka ownership was assigned to St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko. According to sources, an unexpected desire to develop Bronka is the last chance not to retire.
Overnight into May 9, 2018, a dreadful attack has been committed against parents of late Murat Akhedzhak, ex-Vice Governor of the Krasnodar Krai. Unknown masked persons burst into their home in Pseituk village located in the Takhtamukaisky district, Republic of Adygea. Why did the robbers come to the home of respected people? Have the elderly parents become victims accidentally? | 55public_administration

The bookmaker accepts both wagers, and maintains a spread (the vigorish) which will ensure a profit regardless of the outcome of the wager. The Federal Wire Act of 1961 was an attempt by the US government to prevent illegal bookmaking. However, this Act does not apply to other types of online gambling. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the meaning of the Federal Wire Act as it pertains to online gambling.
The online arm of CBS Sports is CBSSports.com. CBS purchased SportsLine.com in 2004, and today CBSSports.com is part of CBS Interactive. On February 26, 2018, following up on the success of their online news network CBSN, CBS Sports launched CBS Sports HQ, a 24/7, online only, linear sports news network. The network focuses entirely on sports news, results, highlights and analysis. (CBS Sports college sports and golf programming that it distributes over the air is generally made available for free via separate streams, as are a limited number of NFL national telecasts; the remainder requires a CBS All Access subscription to be viewed online, with CBS Sports Network programming requiring a TV Everywhere subscription.)

Several additional states such as Louisiana, Connecticut, Mississippi, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, California, South Carolina, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Ohio, New York, and West Virginia, began drafting bills to legalize sports betting soon after New Jersey and Delaware. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia were able to pass legislation legalizing sports betting within their states.
She has cashed-in at many Poker Tournaments and has excelled over the years betting football, particularly the pros, where one of her specialties is identifying and cashing money-line dogs. Roz is quick to point out that winning in sports over the long haul is not fun and games, but dedication, work ethic and knowing where to find edges against the Vegas line.
While we wait for old-fashioned lawmakers to get their heads out of their butts, there are still sports betting options in the state. Online, offshore sportsbooks do not fall under the jurisdiction of state laws, and can legally offer sports wagering to Texas residents. Additionally, because there are no laws on the books when it comes to dealing with online, offshore sports betting, TX residents are free to wager as much as they like at online sportsbooks that are based in overseas countries.
Generally though, it is safe to assume that any state that legalizes sports betting will allow wagers on all professional sports contests. However, situations could arise where individual venues will be prohibited from offering NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL. One example of this is the Golden Nugget in New Jersey, which cannot offer wagers on NBA games because it’s owner, Tilman Fertitta, owns the Houston Rockets, and that’s perceived by regulators as a conflict.
With two professional teams of their own and one of the largest collections of fans in the world, is it any surprise that Texas residents are some of the biggest supporters of legal NFL betting in their state? While you won’t find any action at bars or casinos in the state, you will definitely find thousands of TX residents participating in sports betting on any given Sunday afternoon. For legal sports betting options in Texas, you’ll want to head over to an online, offshore sportsbook. These websites provide legal NFL betting in Texas, as well as an overwhelming amount of other legal sports betting opportunities.
Offering Future bets before the college football season kicks off is nothing new for most betting sites. But, 5dimes Sportsbook is offering Bowl Game props. You might say, well, p[rops for which team will make a bowl games is another common preseason future bet. But 5dimes Sportsbook is offering futures prop bets on the bowl games themselves... as in what will happen in said games?! Will a team score 63 points? Will games go into overtime? Double OT? All props are on the menu! See the listed props and our pick for the best value plays!
No. At this time all online wagers must be done from within the state where the book originates, thus protecting the online books from any new interpretations of the Wire Act. So if Betfair goes live with a site in Pennsylvania, then players can only place wagers on that site from within the Keystone State. They may however be permitted to perform other functions, such as cashiering and account management from beyond state lines.
While strikeouts per nine innings have increased in dramatic fashion the last half decade this trend will not continue. Expect less "swinging for the fences" with a focus on a higher percentage of contact by a hitter. The theory of putting the ball in play and placing pressure on defenses has recently found success. The Kansas City Royals won the 2015 World Series with the philosophy. Those same Royals stole bases and had a three headed monster in the bullpen.
In a different study released by FDU’s PublicMind in October 2011, results showed that New Jersey voters thought legalizing sports betting in New Jersey was a good idea. Half of New Jersey voters (52%) said that they approved the idea of legalizing sports betting at Atlantic City casinos and racetracks, 31% opposed it. In addition, there was a significant gender split: a majority of men approved of the idea by a wide margin (65-21), while only 39% of women approved and 41% opposed. The October results were stable, reflecting an earlier poll in April 2011 where New Jersey voters approved the legalization of sports betting in the state by a margin of 53%-30%. However, nearly two-thirds (66%) of voters were not aware of the upcoming statewide referendum on the issue. Age proved to be a divide: voters between the ages 18 and 34 were more likely to approve of sports betting than were older voters. Dr. Woolley commented: "But... younger voters... are far less likely to vote than other voters... As always, a lot depends on who actually shows up to vote."
While sports betting in Texas has not been given the green light to operate at land-based locations yet, we know that lawmakers will eventually have no choice but to legalize it eventually. When that does happen, we believe that it will likely be housed at a Native American casino. There is currently one Class II casino and one High-stakes bingo hall operating in the state. These seem to be the most likely venues for Texas sports betting.

In fact, when flicking through the pages of glossy home magazines, it’s easy to have your head turned by kitchens that are very on-trend or ‘high fashion’ in interior terms. However, we understand that embarking on the journey to a new kitchen is a big investment, and as a result, you’ll probably want to ensure that the design stands the test of time.
We’ve outlined a combination of some of the style choices our customers have made, as well as some of our favourite kitchen design ideas that are both classic and timeless and so will never go out of style.
Timeless kitchen design trends
Designing a kitchen around a central island helps to create a focal point and hub at the heart of the room. Whether the island is functional and includes the hob and oven or some form of seating such as a breakfast bar or banquette seating, or is just great for storage, is up to you but the trend for islands does not look like it is going to wane any time soon.
Glazed cabinetry is a trend that is extremely on trend at the moment but is something that will create a timeless design in a kitchen because it’s actually a throwback to older style kitchens too.
Incorporating glass into kitchen cabinetry is not only a stylish design feature but also a great way to display glassware or crockery. This can also be taken to another level by incorporating floor-to-ceiling glazed cabinetry but will probably only appeal to those who have time to ensure their cupboards are Marie Kondo tidy!
For those who love the idea of glass but have concerns about having everything on show, think frosted glass. This adds a level of privacy but the outlines of the glassware or crockery behind still creates a stunning visual effect, especially if lighting is given due consideration.
Natural stone worktops
Stone work surfaces are extremely versatile and are certain to remain in fashion for years to come. Natural stone is a material that will work in almost any style of kitchen meaning that it will stay on trend even if you decide to update other parts of your kitchen. As new tones come in and out of fashion, a splash of colour can be added by updating the appliances or soft furnishing, while you can remain confident that your stone worktops with their natural patina, will continue to stay in fashion.
At the moment bolder patterns are proving to be very popular, however, for a truly timeless design, subtle natural stone worktops are the best choice.
Not only is the addition of a mantel extremely practical by creating additional storage, but it will also help create a gorgeous kitchen that will never go out of style, as even the earliest stoves and ovens tended to be housed under a mantle of sorts.
A simple mantel above the oven or hob will draw the eye to that area of the kitchen, while boosting the overall design of the room. However, over the years, different styles of kitchens have incorporated increasingly intricate and complex designs. Steer clear of anything that will date the design and go simple and elegant and your mantel will be a real focus point for all the right reasons.
Having different seating options in a kitchen is vital for creating a multifunctional space and although the addition of banquette seating is a fairly recent trend, we think it’s a feature that is here to stay.
Not only is banquette seating totally appealing on an aesthetic front, it is also extremely practical, especially in a family kitchen and adds a level of luxury as well. That’s because the seating can’t be an afterthought but needs to be incorporated in the overall design. In particular, we believe a curved or rounded seating area juxtaposed with more angular cabinetry works really well.
We are expecting to see more customers opt for banquette seating following the recent COVID-19 lockdown, with families realising the need for somewhere to eat casual meals together and perhaps having a more formal dining area elsewhere.
Banquette seating is obviously also a much-sought after option where space is at a premium.
Designing a timeless kitchen
While it can be tempting to include all the must-have, current trends into a new kitchen, this can be visually overwhelming and it certainly doesn’t guarantee that the space will stand the test of time.
As a new kitchen is a significant investment, ensuring that it doesn’t need to be dramatically updated in a short period of time should be at the forefront of your mind. And similarly, should you ever need to sell your property, making design choices that aren’t too extreme, will also appeal to a broader number of prospective buyers.
A further consideration is that the materials used in bespoke kitchen design are carefully selected and rigorously tested, so it’s important to make sure the style has longevity because the kitchen itself will last a lifetime.
By taking the advice of a good kitchen designer, and relying on tried and tested styles rather than current fads, you can rest assured that your kitchen will still add wow factor for years to come.

They’ve been married and divorced, together and not together, friendly and not friendly. Kailyn has always tried to keep Javi around because, well, he is the father of her son, and she wants what is best for her kids.
The last Javi/Kailyn scandal to cross our paths has us believing that Javi and his other baby mama, Lauren Comeau, were over and done with forever.
But now, Javi might have officially moved on!
Recently, Kailyn Lowry sparked rumors again with a TikTok she created with her friend and podcast co-host, Vee Rivera.
In the video, the screen is split into two sides: SINGLE on the right and MARRIED on the left.
Kailyn walks onto the SINGLE side…but then Vee pulls her over to the MARRIED side!
One commenter asked what everyone else was thinking, ”Wait Kail’s married?”
There’s been rumors that Kailyn has been dating Devoin Austin, Briana DeJesus’s baby daddy, but it’s unlikely Kailyn and Devoin got married…so what about Javi? Did they secretly elope? Was their divorce ever finalized?
And as we all know, Javi has come forward saying he regrets some of his life decisions…
“I had everything I wanted. Everything I dreamed of and I messed it up,” Javi said in regards to his habit of cheating. “The greatest person in my life I hurt..not sure if it’ll ever be repairable but I pray it is and one day it’ll go back to how it should’ve always been.”
We know that Kailyn and Javi try to remain on good terms, but it looks like Javi might have moved on from both Kailyn and Lauren Comeau!
According to The Sun, Javi has been seeing a model named Michelle Martinez.
She recently shared two photos of Javi, where the two of them are hugging. “Fight weekend means I reunite with my fav in my fav city,” Michelle captioned the post.
Javi later shared an update that explained more about why the two were together.
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth,” Javi captioned an Instagram slideshow. “Quick trip to Miami to support my guy and all the great things he’s doing with @celebritysportsentertainment. It’s crazy how you meet people and you never know how contagious their energy is.”
The caption continued:
Surrounded by so many good people this weekend and I’m truly blessed to be able to call them friends. Good vibes, good energy, showing love. Huge shoutout to @michellemrtnz for being one of the realest friends out there. @chinoberrios killing the camera game and catching all these memories. Oh and Nicky Jam killed it!
Do you think there’s more than just a friendship going on here? | 8celebrity

The six-member aircrew, flying a routine transport mission with two passengers aboard, set the plane down safely at about 11:45 a.m. The landing did not damage the aircraft.
“It was on a mission from Yokota to Fukuoka that’s flown regularly,” said Capt. Warren Comer, a 374th Airlift Wing spokesman. “The crew reached its destination but had to make a precautionary landing going in. The No. 4 engine failed.
“They landed safely. There were no injuries to anyone. We’re sending a maintenance team down to fix the aircraft so it can return to Yokota.”
When a warning light goes off in the cockpit, he added, Air Force regulations require an aircrew to land immediately if possible for their own safety and to protect civilians in the area. | 63transportation_engineering

A special issue of Biosensors (ISSN 2079-6374).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (30 September 2012).
Interests: electronic sensors and biosensors; organic field-effect transistors; organic semiconductors; surface chemistry; material chemistry; analytical chemistry
Recent advancements in the field of bio electronics and biotechnology have provided systems that are able to efficiently transduce biological events using rapid, label-free electronic devices. This progress has led to the improvement of biological sensing platforms demonstrating the potential to be applied for the rapid screening of biological samples and point-of care applications. Particularly, the tailoring of new biomaterials by bio-genetic engineering allows to create new enzymes and protein receptors, and to engineer monoclonal antibodies, aptamers or nucleic acids for non-biological substrates thus helping their integration in electronic devices. These electronic devices are mainly based on Carbon Nanotubes, Nanowires, Graphene sheets; Field Effect Transistors, piezoelectric crystals, scanning tunneling microscopy tips and others.
This special issue will be focused on contributions related with innovative bioelectronics tools useful for clinical and biological applications, biodefense and food processing. Including bio(nano)sensors, cells and bio-receptor arrays, electronic bio-circuits for specific cell signaling, devices for proteins detection and study of their conformational structure.

My Dear Friends,
Today’s readings seem to take us back to Easter: Death, Healing, Raising from the Dead!
Our first reading tells us that death is not God’s doing. He wants us to live. However, we are not speaking of physical death here, but spiritual death, a separation from God. Eternal life isn’t just something for the future – it is ours now. Remember Jesus’ promise: I have come to bring you life, life in all its fullness. It’s not really a question of this life ending and another beginning, we are already on that journey to God – it’s a continuity.
The Gospel is about two healings. First the faith of Jairus ensures that his daughter is raised from the dead. In fact it is faith that links the two accounts. Faith and then healing. The woman has faith in Jesus – she reached out and touched and was made whole. This gift is ours too. We have only to acknowledge our need of him, and then reach out! He will do the rest.
This second healing is of particular interest as the woman concerned was ‘beyond the pale’. According to Jewish Law and Custom her condition excluded her from society – even from worship. She was unclean. Anyone touching her would become unclean too. Imagine her desperation. But for Jesus she was not ‘beyond the pale’, she was not unclean, she was not unworthy of his attention. What matters to Jesus is the thing he focusses on. Like Jairus she had FAITH.
We may consider ourselves to be ‘beyond the pale’ on occasions – but if we have FAITH we can reach out and receive that healing touch. We are never beyond Jesus’ attention.
Next weekend it will be a great joy to welcome Pat Ezra to all our Masses. Pat is the Apostleship of the Sea (AOS) chaplain for East Anglia.
May our loving God deepen our faith and so bring us the healing we need.
Notice from the maintenance committee at a Baptist chapel:
The toilet has had a face lift, including new light and tiles. The floor and windows still need to be done. An amplification unit has been installed which should be a great help to those who are hard of hearing. | 10christianity

DECEMBER 1st 2012
For centuries the beauty of art has celebrated life, honored the dead, and impacted those left behind. We see ourselves, and the ghosts of our loved ones, in memorials like the Vietnam Memorial Wall and the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero. Art is often the threshold into timeless events that chart the human heart and soul.
In 2012, Medicine Wheel has continued to use art as a conduit for entering communities in need and helping them to heal. At MWP, as artists, as humanitarians, as an organization, we strive to create a brave new normal, a normal where all voices are honored, all skin colors embraced, all religions sacred, all opinions respected, all hopes ordained, all freedoms preserved, all dreams dreamt. I used to think that asking for money was the most difficult part of these projects. I now realize that it is an invitation for people to become part of something bigger, a truth that sets people – and keeps people – free. Read More! | 50philosophy

Aqua at the Four Seasons Nile Plaza has established itself as the home of experimental cuisine with a base in authentic and traditional French dishes.
With Chef Christophe Gillino as executive chef, Aqua has consistently composed and reinterpreted – without ever repeating – dishes and recipes on their menu.
The latest novelty? Merging cuisine with art; reinterpreting the physical nature of the art work vis-à-vis food. It is not a new phenomenon, that of interpreting art through a gastronomic lens, but it is quite new in Cairo. The recipe requires a large collection of art for inspiration, a chef with the ingenuity to craft the dishes and diners willing to be adventurous.
The Four Seasons Nile Plaza’s art collection features the works of prominent contemporary and modern Egyptian artists. With stunning panoramic Nile view and cool contemporary interiors, Aqua was the perfect setting for this unique culinary experience.
Taking inspiration from the works of Salah Taher, Mostafa Abdel Moity and an anonymous painter, Chef Gillino accurately replicated the artworks with his own recipes. The results were not only delicious dishes, but works of art that, in the words of one diner, look better than the original pieces.
Being a very spoiled young woman, I was fortunate enough to dine at Aqua twice since the start of their Food and Art Festival. I have tried almost all eight dishes created by Chef Gillino to compliment the standard menu.
Just like any genuine work of art, each dish was named to reflect its taste and composition. Trying the “Opaque one night, (a hot pumpkin soup with calamari and saffron gnocchi, served with rucola pesto and crayfish; inspired by artist Salah Taher’s painting) I found the name aptly described the flavor.
Straddling bland and sweet, “Opaque is not for those who enjoy salty savories. It was too sweet for me but rather satisfying for my dining partners. The complimentary starter of fava bean soup, served in a short glass as an aperitif of sorts, was creamy and frothy; illustrating Chef Gillino’s creativity.
Constantly charmed by Cairo, Gillino bemoans the capital’s stifling nature and limited variety of interesting ingredients. Still, the city inspires him to create culinary art as well as music. He already recorded one album during his time in Egypt, and EMI has signed a contract to produce his music for the next five years.
He is no ordinary chef and the dishes were mirror replicas of the art work, so much that it is hard to tell where one stops and the other begins.
His chilled stuffed cannelloni with lamb, mushroom and eggplant salad, ratatouille coulis and trio of peppers, entitled “Lonely, is the highlight. Wrapping the salad in eggplant peel, he skillfully prevents the bitter taste of eggplant from encroaching on the dish. “I also added truffle oil, Gillino whispered, explaining that earthy taste of sweet tomatoes.
His pan-friend foie gras celebrated the traditional recipe with the added novelty of carrot chutney, red endives and dried oranges. Already a dish that provoked one’s salt and sweet buds, the foie gras dish entitled “Sunset served as a reminder of what flavors and tastes one should aspire to: wholesome and natural.
The stuffed tagliatelle with crab and ricotta; a gradation of colors, with tomato sauce; was very good but should be eaten hot. Eating it cold, the flavor of the crab was hidden. The dish entitled “Embraced was composed of long ribbons of green tagliatelle, identical to the swoops of Salah Taher’s brushstrokes on his canvas.
Choosing “Duet, the glazed beef medallions, sesame chips, porcini mushroom, soya and ginger sauce for my main course, I asked for it medium rare, and was delivered an exact replica of Mostafa Abdel Moity’s “Composition, 2001. A variety of colors, textures and tastes painted as pretty a picture as the original art work.
Chef Gillino presented the steak and potato dish with its traditional flavors but the appearance of color was exciting enough to elicit interest in the usual plate.
It was the black peppered roasted darne of salmon, Dijon mustard cream and basil coulis that I sampled earlier in the week that stole my heart. A basil leaf was fried, a tomato skin was delicately peeled and laid to rest atop the salmon. The salmon was pink and juicy as it rested atop layers of pungent sauces. All so wonderfully colorful.
What makes Chef Gillino stand out amongst the throng of chefs in Cairo is that he’s one step ahead of everyone else. While everyone is serving sushi, Gillino reverts to traditional French dishes. When all the focus is on plating dishes so sparingly, Gillino looks toward colorful sauces.
With a cheese platter and dessert from the Food and Art Festival and regular a la carte menu on offer, the choices are plenty for diners at Aqua. The baby blue lobster and lamb agneau main dishes, although regular fare, delivered their key notes of delicate taste. The Food and Art menu is only meant to compliment Aqua’s menu and inspire diners to take risks while dining.
The dessert created by Chef Gillino was “Pyramids, a duo of honey vaherin and raspberry pyramids reminiscent of homemade ice cream – and quite literal about the cream, there was plenty of it to taste.
Aqua’s Food and Art Festival has been so successful that Chef Gillino is planning on expanding it to mid June.

FOREX-Dollar set to cap off September with solid gains, HK unrest eyed
* Dollar index set for best monthly performance in over a year
* Kiwi at other end of scale, among the worst performers
* Markets still keeping an eye on developments in Hong Kong
By Ian Chua
SYDNEY, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The dollar hovered at a four-year peak against a basket of major currencies early on Tuesday, on track to post its biggest monthly gain in well over a year even as some analysts warned its three-month long rally was at risk of running out of puff.
Trading in Asia is likely to be subdued with investors keeping a wary eye on the spreading pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and with a raft of holidays in the region this week.
The dollar index last stood at 85.605, not far from an overnight peak of 85.798 - a high not seen since July 2010. It's monthly gain of 3.5 percent, if sustained, would be the largest since February 2013.
In the past three months, the dollar index has surged more than 7 percent, driven in part by expectations the Federal Reserve will start to hike interest rates well ahead of most other major central banks.
Data on Monday showing U.S. consumer spending accelerated in August supported the upbeat outlook for the U.S. economy.
"Looking ahead, we expect data this week to show continued divergence in economic fundamentals to support the USD," analysts at Barclays wrote in a note to clients.
As a result, U.S. Treasury yields have risen with the two-year yield nearing 0.6 percent, a high not seen since May 2011. That in turn has bolstered the appeal of the greenback against its low-yielding peers.
The dollar scaled a fresh six-year high of 109.75 yen overnight and last traded at 109.41. The euro came within a whisker of its November 2012 trough of $1.2661 before edging back to $1.2690.
Euro zone inflation data due later on Tuesday will be closely watched by euro bears, but a bigger-than-expected rise in Germany's annual inflation could potentially help keep the euro zone rate stable.
One of the worst performing major currencies this month would have to be the New Zealand dollar, which is down nearly 7 percent.
Data on Monday confirming the Reserve Bank of New Zealand had intervened to weaken the currency proved the central bank could talk the talk and walk the walk.
The kiwi last stood at $0.7775, having plumbed a near 14-month low of $0.7708 on Monday.
Doing nearly as badly is its Australian peer. It has suffered a drop of more than 6 percent this month, a vicious turnaround for a currency that had been trading in a remarkably stable 92-95 cent range.
The Aussie fell out of favour as market volatility picked up following the end of the summer lull and as carry trades lost their lustre.
China's patchy economic growth and further declines in the price of iron ore, Australia's biggest export earner, then become excuses for selling the Aussie.
Momentum sellers joined the fray as key chart support levels gave way, handing the currency a one-way ticket to its 2014 trough of $0.8660 set in January.
The Aussie fell as far as $0.8684 overnight and last traded at $0.8718. (Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

After a period of clouds, warm temperatures will be the story of the week. We are watching a storm system, which will near the region this weekend.
Next 24 Hours: Some high clouds will cycle through the area tonight as low temperatures drop into the mid 50s. Even though some sunshine will be available, a cirrus deck will be the main feature in skies on Tuesday. With that, high temperatures will level off in the upper 70s.
Up Next: Once clouds exit, mainly clear skies are expected for the rest of the workweek. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s—about 5-8 degrees above average for the time of year. Nights will be noticeably more muggy with lows in the low to mid 60s. The weekend forecast is still coming together and requires attention. A weakening cold front will approach the area Saturday into Sunday. The exact speed and track of the system will determine if, and at what point, some showers and thunderstorms work into the area. As of now, the idea is that a broken line of showers will move in Saturday night into Sunday. CLICK HERE for your detailed 7-Day Forecast.
The Tropics: Tropical Storm Lisa is slowly moving westward across the Caribbean Sea at 14mph with maximum sustained winds of 45mph. Tropical Storm conditions are possible in Jamaica on Tuesday as Lisa continues moving to the west-northwest with gradual strengthening. The system could be a hurricane as it nears Central America on Wednesday.
The Explanation: A weak, shortwave trough of upper level low pressure will move from Texas through the Mid-Mississippi River Valley on Tuesday. As this occurs, atmospheric moisture will increase, primarily in the upper half. This will lend to increasing mid to high level clouds thickening through the day. The lack of lower level moisture may preclude any precipitation with the best chance for a stray shower near the coast. BY Wednesday, the trough will be weakening further and east of the area as an upper level ridge of high pressure expands over the Gulf Coast. This sturdy ridge will continue the overall drier pattern that we';ve grown used to this autumn. Additionally, in response to the ridge, subsidence will cause above average temperatures with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s through the weekend. The end of the forecast gets a bit more challenging and interesting. A sharp upper level trough of low pressure will cut out of the Mid-South into the Ohio Valley. Substantial moisture is expected to be in place across the area with plenty of warmth at the surface. The track of the upper level trough will determine if there is enough cooler air aloft and therefore instability, and a trigger for showers and thunderstorms. If the trough moves farther north, a largely dry weekend may be expected. Any farther south than is currently expected and a threat for severe weather could even materialize. Stay tuned.

I have a granite slab as a landing at the front of my WFO. My slab measures 63 long and 22 wide (approx measurements) and almost an 1nch thick. So far I have had no problems. However, I did my best to select a slab that had a uniform crystal size and that had no decernable cracks or faults. I think that success in this has alot to do with the individual slab selected. As for temperature and expansion I have had my slab so hot directly in front of the opening where radiant heat is high, that one could not touch the slab for even a short moment without wishing you had not. And at the same time quite cool to the touch at the extremes of each end.
I decided to simply anchor my slab very loosely using simply a thin layer of sand and fireclay so that it would be free to expand and contract as needed. It does make for a nice work surface upon which to place freshly baked bread and hot pizzas. Also if you select a polished surface one can see what is happening at the dome top by looking at the reflection. Here's a post with some photos that show the slab: http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/3/st...html#post41508 | 52physics

A definitive guide
This story is part of “Tickpocalypse,” a multi-part special report.
Lyme disease first made headlines in 1975, when word began to spread that a mysterious illness — marked by fevers, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue, among other symptoms — was affecting the residents of the leafy New England shore town of Old Lyme, Connecticut. Now the condition is having another moment, this one no more welcome than the first.
Between 1991 and 2014, the number of Americans infected with Lyme disease roughly doubled. From 2016 to 2017 alone, rates of the illness jumped nearly 20%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And as if that weren’t troubling enough, experts say we are on the brink of a Lyme disease epidemic brought on by an explosion in the tick population. (Lyme is transmitted by ticks infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria.)
“The distribution of Lyme continues to expand,” says A. Marm Kilpatrick, an associate professor of ecology at the University of California, Santa Cruz who has studied the potential causes and spread of Lyme disease. “And there are many challenges in managing it.”
Lyme disease is most common in the mid-Atlantic region, the Upper Midwest, and the Northeast, but it has now been identified in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Ticks are active any time the temperature rises above freezing, but they’re most likely to bite and infect people during the spring and summer months. Here’s what you need to know to keep yourself and your family safe.
How to prevent tick bites
Ticks are parasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of humans and other mammals. They need this blood in order to grow and reproduce. In the U.S., there are seven common species of ticks that bite people, and all of them can transmit diseases. But the blacklegged tick is the primary carrier of Borrelia burgdorferi.
Ticks can turn up pretty much everywhere outdoors. But they’re found mostly in and around woods and forests, as well as in grassy fields, according to resources from Purdue University. Blacklegged ticks tend to hang out on ferns, shrubs, tall grass, old stone walls, and fallen trees or stacked logs. Ticks like these places, in part, because they can’t fly, they can’t jump, and they’re slow. In order to climb onto people or animals, they have to wait for someone or something to brush past.
Sticking to pathways or trails that are wide and sunlit is one of the best ways for people and their pets to avoid ticks. (Ticks can latch onto dogs or cats, and so make their way into your home.) But if your path through the woods is narrow, that’s about as risky as hiking off-trail.
If you’re venturing out in tick-infested areas, repellents that include DEET or picaridin are safe and effective, according to the CDC. “Natural” repellents that include essential oils of garlic, rosemary, and other plants will also repel blacklegged ticks, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Wearing jeans and tucking them into your socks is another good way to prevent bites. But you’ll want to remove your clothes and dry them on high heat for about 50 minutes as soon as you’re home. (Ticks can survive washing and low-heat drying.)
Spraying your clothing and boots with a product that contains permethrin, an insecticide — or buying gear pre-treated with permethrin — will also keep ticks away, per the CDC.
How to locate and remove ticks
Even if you take precautions, it’s a good idea to check your body for ticks after spending time outdoors — though this is a little easier said than done because they are tiny.
It helps to know where ticks hide. According to the CDC, ticks are fond of setting up shop on the backs of the knees, in the armpits, behind the ears, in the groin, on the scalp, and around the waist — including in the belly button.
If you find a tick, get it out or off of your skin right away. “It takes time for the tick to transfer over the bacteria that causes Lyme disease,” says Dr. Alan Barbour, a professor of medicine and microbiology at University of California, Irvine and author of the book Lyme Disease. If you have tweezers or some kind of tick-removal tool at your disposal, great. Pinch the tick where its mouth joins your skin and slowly but firmly pull until it releases itself or breaks apart.
But don’t wait until you have access to tweezers or a tool to remove a tick. The longer a tick’s in, the more likely it is to transmit pathogens, Barbour says. Even if you have to just pull the tick out with your fingers, you want to get it out immediately.
Its “mouthparts” may not come out completely, but that’s not unusual. Clean the bite site with alcohol or soap and water, and then apply Neosporin or some other antibacterial ointment.
What to do after you’ve been bitten
First, don’t panic. Not all ticks transmit disease.
Keep a close eye on the bite site. You can ignore a small raised red bump — something that looks like a mosquito bite. But if a larger welt or a rash develops, especially a rash that looks like a bull’s-eye, see a doctor. Ditto if you have a fever or other flu symptoms — or if you have muscle aches or chills — within a few weeks of being bitten. These are all indicative of a Lyme disease infection.
What your doctor will do
If you notice a tick bite and you’ve developed a rash or Lyme symptoms, most doctors will diagnose the disease based on this clinical evidence, Barbour says. The standard treatment is a two- to three-week course of antibiotics.
There is a blood test for Lyme disease, but the antibodies the test searches for often aren’t detectable during the disease’s earliest stages, he explains. So don’t be surprised if your doctor diagnoses you without ordering a blood test.
The lasting effects of Lyme disease are controversial.
Dr. John Halperin, a professor of neurology and medicine at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, has studied Lyme disease since the 1980s. He emphasizes that Lyme disease is highly treatable when detected early and that most people who contract the illness recover fully after the standard course of antibiotics.
In untreated patients, the Lyme disease infection can get into the blood, heart, joints, or brain and cause problems. These include severe headaches, neck pain or stiffness, a type of facial weakness and drooping known as palsy, and arthritis-like joint pain and swelling — especially in large joints like the knee, Halperin says.
In rare cases, people may experience an irregular heartbeat, nerve pain, or dizziness. But even in these situations, most will respond to antibiotic treatment, he says.
A small subset of patients may continue to experience symptoms like headaches, pain, or fatigue even after all the Lyme disease-related bacteria are cleared from their system, Barbour says. Known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, or PTLDS, these symptoms may last for a few weeks or months. But they, too, eventually go away.
Barbour and others make a point of differentiating PTLDS from so-called chronic Lyme. That term applies to a range of lingering health issues many people attribute to Lyme disease, but for which there’s little scientific evidence of a connection.
Halperin says that with all the talk these days of ticks and Lyme disease, it’s common for some people to believe they have lasting symptoms from the illness, or to attribute otherwise unexplained symptoms to it. Maybe you just never noticed the tick bite or resulting rash — or you thought you had the flu a while back, and now you’re wondering if Lyme disease was to blame.
In that case, what should you do? See a doctor, Halperin says. “Contrary to what you may read online, once you’re out of the first month after a bite, testing for Lyme disease is very accurate and antibiotics are effective,” he says. If you have no Lyme-related antibodies in your system, he says, you can rule out Lyme disease as the cause of your symptoms and you and your doctor can explore other explanations.

New information technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing our lives. The Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) standard is aimed at IoT applications and dramatically extends battery life. In order to implement it, there is a need to reduce the amount of unused power from existing devices, and Engineers are therefore exploring component level dynamic current consumption, which is difficult to measure, especially for low-power devices used in IoT enabled products, because of the limited dynamic range, large measurement noise and limited bandwidth.

University motorsport association uses Hioki power analyzer for efficiency measurements and portable PicoScope
SUCCESS STORIES@Computer Controls
As a technology partner, Computer Controls supports the Akademischer Motorsportverein Zürich (AMZ) with professional knowledge and high-precision instrumentation. The AMZ was founded in 2006 by students at ETH Zurich, who develop a prototype vehicle for the various “Formula Student” races in Europe each year. The association gives students an opportunity to put their theoretical engineering knowledge into practice in a very complex product.
The power dissipation of an inverter can be determined with the aid of a power analyzer. On their motor test stand the AMZ Racing Team uses a Hioki PW6001 Power Analyzer to carry out validation tests for power circuitry and motors. The power dissipation of the components can be determined quickly and easily with the measurement setup described here. The power analyzer computes the Fourier components of the measured signals and directly outputs the derived effective, apparent and reactive power values. Based on the measured torque and motor speed, it can also indicate the motor efficiency by calculating the difference between the input power and the effective mechanical output.

The Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle, designed for NASA's Project Mercury, was the first American manned space booster. It was used for six sub-orbital Mercury flights from 1960–61; culminating with the launch of the first, and 11 weeks later, the second American (and the second and third humans) in space.
A member of the Redstone rocket family, it was derived from the U.S. Army's Redstone ballistic missile and the first stage of the related Jupiter-C launch vehicle; but to make it man-rated, its structure and systems were modified to improve safety and reliability.
The four subsequent Mercury manned flights used the more powerful Atlas booster to enter low Earth orbit.
Modifications from the Redstone missile
NASA chose the U.S. Army's Redstone liquid-fueled ballistic missile for its sub-orbital flights because it was the most reliable of any U.S. ballistic missile at the time, with many successful test flights.
The standard military Redstone lacked sufficient thrust to lift a Mercury capsule into the ballistic sub-orbital trajectory needed for the project; however, the first stage of the Jupiter-C, which was a modified Redstone with lengthened fuel tanks, could carry enough propellant to reach the desired trajectory. Therefore this Jupiter-C first stage was used as the starting point for the Mercury-Redstone design. The Jupiter-C's engine, however, was being phased out by the Army, so to avoid potential complications such as parts shortages or design revisions, the Mercury-Redstone designers chose the Rocketdyne A-7 engine used on the latest military Redstones.
The standard Redstone was fueled with a 75 percent ethyl alcohol solution, but the Jupiter-C first stage had used hydyne fuel, a blend of 60 percent unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and 40 percent diethylenetriamine (DETA). This was a more powerful fuel than ethyl alcohol, but it was also more toxic, which could be dangerous for an astronaut in a launch pad emergency. Furthermore, hydyne had never been used with the new A-7 engine. The Mercury-Redstone designers rejected hydyne and returned to the standard ethyl alcohol fuel.
The most important change in making the Mercury-Redstone a suitable vehicle for an astronaut was the addition of an automatic in-flight abort sensing system. In an emergency where the rocket was about to suffer a catastrophic failure, an abort would activate the launch escape system attached to the Mercury capsule, which would rapidly eject it from the booster. Either the astronaut or the ground controllers could initiate an abort manually, but some potential failures during flight could lead to disaster before an abort could be manually triggered.
The Mercury-Redstone's automatic in-flight abort sensing system solved this problem by monitoring the rocket's performance during flight. If it detected an anomaly which might threaten the astronaut, such as loss of flight control, engine thrust, or electrical power, it would automatically abort, shutting down the engine and activating the capsule's escape system. (To keep the rocket from falling on people or facilities in the launch area, automatic engine shutdown was disabled during the first 30 seconds of flight, while the rocket was still over land.) An automatic abort could be triggered by any of the following conditions:
- Pitch, yaw, or roll angle deviating too far from the programmed flight profile,
- Pitch or yaw angle changing too rapidly,
- Pressure in the engine's combustion chamber falling below a critical level,
- Loss of electrical power for the flight control system, or
- Loss of general electrical power (including power for the abort sensing system itself), which could indicate a catastrophic failure.
Like many rockets, the Mercury-Redstone also had a destruct system so ground controllers could destroy a malfunctioning rocket before it could threaten people on the ground. But for the Mercury-Redstone, the astronaut would need time for the escape system to carry him a safe distance from the rocket before it was destroyed, so the destruct system would automatically delay itself until three seconds after an abort was given.
The most visible difference between the Jupiter-C first stage and the Mercury-Redstone was in the section just below the Mercury capsule and above the propellant tanks. This section was known as the aft section, a term which was inherited from the military Redstone. (The actual rear end of the rocket was called the tail section.) The aft section held most of the Mercury-Redstone's electronics and instrumentation, including the guidance system, as well as the adapter for the Mercury capsule. In the military Redstone and the Jupiter-C first stage, when the rocket had burned out, its lower portion, containing the rocket engine and propellant tanks, would separate from the aft section and be discarded, and the aft section, with its guidance system, would direct the top half of the rocket during its unpowered ballistic flight. However, in the Mercury-Redstone, the aft section was permanently attached to the lower portion of the rocket. When the rocket had shut down, the Mercury capsule would separate from the aft section and would rely on its own guidance.
Other changes were made to improve the Mercury-Redstone's reliability. The standard Redstone's ST-80 inertial guidance system was replaced in the Mercury-Redstone with the simpler LEV-3 autopilot. The LEV-3, whose design dated back to the German V-2 missile, was not as sophisticated or as precise as the ST-80, but it was accurate enough for the Mercury mission and its simplicity made it more reliable. A special instrument compartment was built in the "aft section" to hold the most important instrumentation and electronics, including the guidance system, the abort and destruct systems, the telemetry instrumentation, and the electrical power supplies. To reduce the chance of failure in this equipment, this compartment was cooled before launch and kept pressurized during flight.
The space between the pressurized instrument compartment and the capsule was originally intended to hold a parachute recovery system for the rocket. When this system was abandoned, the compartment was used for ballast to improve stability in flight. Unlike the standard Redstone, the Mercury-Redstone's length and heavy payload caused it to become aerodynamically unstable later in the flight as it reached supersonic speeds, but the extra ballast delayed the onset of this effect past the most critical period of maximum aerodynamic forces, known as "max Q".
Proposed parachute recovery system
The Mercury-Redstone designers originally planned for the rocket to be recovered by parachute after its separation from the Mercury capsule. This was the first significant effort to develop a recoverable launch vehicle and the first to reach the testing phase.
The recovery system, at the top of the rocket, would have used two stages of parachutes. In the first stage, a single parachute, 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter, would stabilize the rocket's fall and slow its descent. This parachute would then draw out a set of three main parachutes, each 67 feet (20 m) across. The rocket would come down in the Atlantic Ocean, to be recovered by ship.
To determine the feasibility of this system, several tests were performed on full-sized Redstones, including water impact and flotation tests, and an exercise at sea in which a floating Redstone was picked up by a Navy recovery ship. All these tests showed recovery of the rocket to be workable. Further development was halted, however, due to lack of funding, so the parachute system was not tested.
Mercury-Redstone flights were designated with the prefix "MR-". Confusingly, the Mercury-Redstone boosters used for these flights were designated in the same way, usually with different numbers. (In photographs, this designation can sometimes be seen on the rocket's tail end.) Two rockets, MR-4 and MR-6, were never flown.

Dogs have an olfactory sense 40 times more sensitive than a human's and they commence their lives operating almost exclusively on smell and touch.:247 The special scents that dogs use for communication are called pheromones. Different hormones are secreted when a dog is angry, fearful or confident, and some chemical signatures identify the sex and age of the dog, and if a female is in the estrus cycle, pregnant or recently given birth. Many of the pheromone chemicals can be found dissolved in a dog's urine, and sniffing where another dog has urinated gives the dog a great deal of information about that dog.:250 Male dogs prefer to mark vertical surfaces and having the scent higher allows the air to carry it farther. The height of the marking tells other dogs about the size of the dog, as among canines size is an important factor in dominance.:251 Puppy Training
Hands up is a fantastic trick that looks great. The dog is taught to sit back and hold both front paws up simultaneously. Easy to reinforce by offering the word hands up and a treat each time the dog manages to get both front paws off the ground. The pure position of this trick makes it look like it was really difficult to teach but if you reward with good timing early on then the dog will perfect his position with little effort from you. more
The term personality has been applied to human research, whereas the term temperament has been mostly used for animal research. However, both terms have been used interchangeably in the literature, or purely to distinguish humans from animals and avoid anthropomorphism. Personality can be defined as “a set of behaviors that are consistent over context and time”. Studies of dogs' personalities have tried to identify the presence of broad personality traits that are stable and consistent over time. more on this | 7biology

Testimony is expected to begin today in the racketeering trial of Futo Charles, who is suspected of leading a violent street gang, Top 6.
The trial for Charles, 30, comes more than a year after Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Karen Miller rejected the last of two plea agreements prosecutors and defense attorneys attempted to make in the case.
The first, which came in February 2009, just two months after his arrest, was an eight-year deal that fell apart after Miller cited the heavy penalties she had handed to his co-defendants. Two other alleged Top 6 members were convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison in the case.
The second potential plea would have brought Charles a 15-year sentence and required his testimony against additional co-defendants in the case. But Miller rejected that deal because of the wording of the agreement, in which Charles refused to acknowledge Top 6 was a gang and denied being a member .
Authorities say Charles has been cooperating with investigators since his December 2008 arrest. They say his testimony has been instrumental in cases against Top 6, which authorities say was responsible for a bloody gang war that raged in Lake Worth and Boynton Beach in 2006 and 2007.
Attorneys in Charles' case questioned a panel of prospective jurors Monday afternoon, and are expected to begin opening statements today. | 43news

Cement job design has historically been a static process largely independent of the other processes in the drilling and completion phases. The success or failure of achieving zonal isolation, which is the main objective of cementing, is usually attributed to the cement placement result without analyzing in details various factors such as drilling parameters, borehole shape, drilling fluid properties, casing designs, formation properties (temperature and pressure profiles), and even cement evaluation methods including post-cement placement activities that could contribute to the end result of achieving zonal isolation objectives for long-term well integrity on an oil and gas well.
A unique workflow is developed by incorporating data from different stages of the well construction process (drilling, cementing and cement evaluation) to optimize the cement job design and placement evaluation for critical and challenging wells. By integrating real-time or near real-time data from drilling and cementing phases, the unique workflow rapidly identifies critical information that can prevent poor cement placement, which allows operators to make timely decision to achieve well integrity and safe working environment.
An integration of drilling and openhole information, cement slurry design and placement/mud removal result, and cement evaluation log evaluation is required to better understand zonal isolation and well integrity, particularly for wells with shallow hazards. This case study explains an integrated workflow implemented during cement placement design and evaluation on surface casing cementing job after failure of a conventional cement barrier placement in the Eagle Ford field in south Texas.

Firstly let me start by saying I’m not an expert reviewer of photography equipment but I do know what I like and how to produce a cracking pano.
Secondly if you get offended by foul language or what I have to say then turn off now.
And finally, I’m in no way paid by any of these manufacturers but wold willingly take’ cash for comments’ in the future.
The first thing I noticed about this camera was the weight and size, as I do lots of hiking and weight is a big issue I’m excited about reducing weight being able to carry other cool equipement. Once I started shooting with the camera it took me back to when I was 14, fumbling around with my first bra at the drive-in, now for anyone under 20, thats a car park where you watch movies from you car, not a McDonalds drive through. After a few hours of shooting I started to feel comfortable with the buttons and dials and felt that everything is in the right position.
Pairing this with the Schnieder 50mm Tilt Shift, nicknamed the ‘Big Schnitty’ was as simple as picking up the Novoflex Nex/Nik Adaptor and everything works the same as the Nikon D800.
Once again I love the size of this camera and feel its solid enough to take a bit of beating and after an hour in a rainforest with intermittent rain it’s still working. I love the new flip out screen saving the neck when shooting down low. One thing I absolutely hate is the digital viewfinder, I feel like I’m in a cheap peepshow and the entertainment is rubbish.
I love the Time Lapse and Star Trail software you can download from Sony Entertainment, maybe a bramping feature with time lapse would be awesome. All the other bits feel like the Nikon D800, but the most important problem with this camera and the deal breaker for me is the lack of Delayed Exposure Mode, back to back frames with both cameras at the same settings around 1.6 seconds exposure the vibration is so noticeable I would bin the Sony frames and class it as a complete fail. For me to keep using this camera, Sony will have to add this in the next firmware update.
I really couldn’t see any difference with the A7r and the D800 with quality, dynamic range or colour between the 2 sensors, only slight difference is the A7r performed better under low lighting.
Spent 3 hours fucking around on the internet updating system software and then you still have to convert them before processing your files in Camera Raw, boring!
Battery life doesn’t seem to be any different from the D800 but I would still carry several back ups.
I understand that because of the size and weight I can live with only one memory slot
Now this only a little thing but as they say the small things in life matter. I really like the way the camera will balance and not flip around with the weight on a pano head when carrying it around on the tripod, the D800 would always spin around exposing the glass of the lens to any rain or other elements, the A7r stays put, because of the weight balance.
Cheaper than the Nikon by 1.5k
Flip Out Screen
Time Lapse, Star Trails and other cool software
Only a couple for me, obviously the digital viewfinder and this one is the deal breaker, NO EXPOSURE DELAY MODE, hurry the fuck up with this Sony because I have just added another in the long list of items in the cupboard.
Finally if I was one of the many Canon users defecting I’d certainly upgrade to the Sony A7r and hope they get there shit together with the vibration issue. Would I swap my beloved Nikon D800 for the Sony A7r? NO! until they fix the vibration issue I’m going to stick with the Nikon. Once they do I would gladly sell the Nikon, Canon and every other camera I own and buy two of them and be much happier at the end of a big hike.
Image above from a Nikon D800 becuase I couldn’t find a good set of frames from the Sony A7r

Review of Wild Wolf Slot
Wild Wolf is an animal themed online slot game, modelled on the terrestrial casino slot brought to us by IGT.
This slot game is filled with ‘wilds’ and is obsessed with wolves. It is an upgraded version of its predecessor ‘Wolf Run’, and in many instances has not changed much, except for where it counts. The graphics are crisper and clearer, the payouts are larger and more frequent, and the layout is better, with an overall of 10 more paylines than the initial game. With the forest in the background and the sunset sky in the distance, you cannot but prepare yourself for the nightly ‘hunt’ of riches that lies before you.
The mystical atmosphere of the American Wilderness is enhanced mightily in this slot, as your wolf brotherhood pull out all of the stops to help you win big and bring pride and honour to their pack.
Symbols and Soundtrack
The standard casino feel of the game is still quite evident, until you hit a big win, and the wolf howls at the moon. This effect may leave you red-faced on a few occasions, as you may find it difficult to resist the temptation of howling in harmony with your K-9 compatriot.
The bonus feature raises the atmosphere of the game significantly with the introduction of Native American tribal sounds and songs, which lend marvellously to the mystical tone of the slot.
The symbols are very like those in “Wolf Run”, with the two wolf icons (although this time a black one and a grey one make their appearance), and the continuation of the use of the two wolf totems. The lower end symbols are a reminder of the fact that this is a casino slot, and IGT have therefore selected to keep it simple, and add the traditional card deck symbols of 10, J, Q, K, and A into the fray.
The ‘wild’ symbol is a crisper version of the original Wolf howling at the moon, and the free spins triggering ‘Bonus symbol’ is a dream-catcher - this to make sure that only your best dreams come true while playing this game.
Lots of wilds, and lots of wolves are the name of this game, so aside from the bonus feature free spin round, an added feature to this game would be the fact that the wilds often come stacked on the screen; anywhere from 2 on top of each other, to four stacked up together. This can happen on multiple reels at a time too. The wild wolves want to ensure that the best combos are yours for the eating…um…I mean taking.
Free Spins Bonus Round
This bonus feature is triggered when you land a dream catcher bonus symbol on each of the middle reels (reels 2, 3, and 4). This will take you to another backdrop where you will be awarded with 5 free spins. During this feature, the stacked wilds are more prevalent, to ensure an experience worth remembering. The feature can be re-triggered up to 255 spins.
If you liked “Wolf Run”, you must give this updated version of the IGT game a try. The mystical American wild will become more alive with every spin. Wild Wolf has been designed with the wild animal lover at heart, and should pull at all your hound-loving heart strings. | 23gamble

Let Jasmine Rain Down: Song and Remembrance Among Syrian Jews [With *]
Kay Kaufman Shelemay
Publisher: University of Chicago PressFormat: Paperback
When Jews left Aleppo, Syria, in the early-20th century and established communities abroad, they carried with them a repertory of songs (pizmonim) with sacred Hebrew texts set to melodies borrrowed from the popular Middle Eastern Arab musical tradition. This text tells the story of the “pizmonim” as they have continued to be composed, performed and transformed through the present day; it is thus an ethnography of an important Judeo-Arabic musical tradition that contributes to studies of the link between collective memory and popular culture. Kay Kaufman Shelemay views the intersection of music, individual remembrances and collective memory through the “pizmonim”. Reconstructing a century of “pizmonim” history in America based on research in New York, Mexico and Israel, she explains how verbal and musical memories are embedded in individual songs and how these songs perform both what has been remembered and what otherwise would have been forgotten. In confronting issues of identity and meaning in a postmodern world, Shelemay moves ethnomusicology in to the domain of memory studies.

There was a bit of trepidation over how the small children would cope with this, as they didn't have their usual space in the church and had to stay within pews in order to keep the pottery safe.
I'm pleased to report all went perfectly. We brought out the 'church in a bag' concept for the first time and this evening it worked really well. LittleLanky did not go near any pots, which is good because we couldn't afford to buy any she broke!
Church in a bag - this is the name that we have given what we're doing but the concept is also known as 'liturgy in a box'. I got much of my inspiration for it from a children's communion service that I go to at the Michaelhouse in Cambridge.
Basically it is a simplified service booklet for young children that has photographs and some simple text to guide them through the service (with help from an adult) with physical resources to help them connect to different parts of the service.
In our bags so far we have:
Gathering - we will have some small wooden dolls once I have found them at the right price!
Confession and absolution - we have some puzzles and lacing cards. The idea is something you can do and then undo or break apart and remake.
Gloria - multi coloured streamers. It's basically a wooden curtain ring with ribbons stitched in place. I have chosen liturgical colours! I got this idea from the michaelhouse. They look fab.
The Word - a book of bible stories and other biblical items. They also have pencils and crayons to colour and draw in their booklet which has lots of spaces for this.
The gospel (subsection of The Word above) - they have battery operated tea lights. These are to connect them to the gospel procession. The ones they have are a little fragile so I may need to find more robust ones.
Intercessions - they have little wooden crosses. Damien crosses to be precise. They are quite ornate.
Eucharist - they will have little wooden egg cups and coasters each to represent the chalice and pattern. They have this at the Michaelhouse and it's remarkably effective. I just need to find them at the right price!
They have all this in a brightly coloured cloth bag. I have six different colours. I actually got them from the university book shop. They have the logo emblazoned across them but they're brightly coloured, cost £2 and we could get student discount. I wasn't going to be sniffy about a logo for that!
So this is where I'm up to with it all. I'll post some pictures of it all when I go into college tomorrow. I will put the service booklet I have created up at some point but currently it wouldn't pass any copyright guidelines so I'll get that sorted and then show it.
It will be interesting to see how this goes. I want to take a bag with me on a Sunday to see how it goes with LittleLanky there. I think she'll appreciate it.
I think this is the idea that we will trial for the long term now. It can be used in lots of different settings and the children can sit together or apart so it has flexibility (as tonight showed!). The service booklet will change for the children week on week to reflect the seasons and to stop them from getting bored and we will add seasonal items to the bags as well. (That's liturgical seasons rather than normal seasons!).
Tonight I had one of the best experiences in church with LittleLanky that I have had in a long time. We were without LankyAnglican as he helps with the older children and hemmed in on all sides by people (the pots spread across the pews meant we had to worship close together, very close together!). This is normally a recipe for disaster but it wasn't. LittleLanky and I worshipped side by side. And it was good. | 28hobby

Posted on 02/06/2013 9:43:53 PM PST by sukhoi-30mki
Israels Stunner emerges on Indias radar
Bangalore, Feb. 6: Behind Israels Iron Dome for India is a Stunner in the works.
Israel, Indias furtive defence supplier that both countries keep shrouded behind layers of confidentiality, has outed itself in the Aero India 9th edition here.
A truck-mounted launcher from its Iron Dome missile system greets visitors at the entrance to the biannual event in the IAFs Yelahanka airbase that showcases the air combat inventory that India has on its wish list.
The Iron Dome, successfully demonstrated in last years short sharp war between Israel and militants in the Gaza Strip, is on that list. But somewhere below is its bigger brother named Davids Sling. The Stunner is the rocket that the Davids Sling system fires to shoot down enemy missiles with ranges 250km and above.
So important has Israels presence been at this edition of Aero India that even defence minister A.K. Antony, known for his aversion to being publicly seen in the company of Indias possibly most reliable military supplier as of now, allowed himself to be photographed with Major General Ehud Shani, the director general in Israels ministry of defence.
Israel and India, said Israels ambassador Alon Ushpiz at the opening of his countrys pavilion here, share a level of intimacy and co-operation that is reflected and is an integral part of the growing multifaceted relationship between our two countries.
Without going into details, the friendship and chemistry between Israelis and Indians is a source of pride and indeed a bedrock of security, stability and tranquillity for both our nations, he said.
The Iron Dome system that its maker Rafael claims shot down 85 per cent of Fajr5 and Qassam rockets on target from militants in the Gaza Strip was deployed across south Israeli settlements and to protect parts of Tel Aviv. It took three to five batteries of Iron Dome to protect Tel Aviv. Israel expects that the demonstration of the system will encourage India to buy it for its VVIP areas.
There is a difference, though, of size. Tel Aviv covers about 176sqkm with about 52sqkm estimated to have been targeted by the militants.
The National Capital Territory of Delhi, in comparison, is spread over 1,483sqkm.
Even the Davids Sling, which Israels Rafael is developing with the US-headquartered Raytheon and covers a larger area, has a single system for Israel as of now. A test in November 2012 is said to have been successful.
A Rafael official said a single Davids Sling system would give cover for Israel, a country with contested boundaries but spanning approximately 16,000sqkm, less than even that of Kerala (about 18,650sqkm), one of Indias smaller states in terms of acreage.
Israel has a four-layered missile defence system, graduating from the Iron Dome in the close-in area to the Davids Sling and the Arrow II and the Arrow III for longer-range missiles.
Indias Defence Research and Development Organisation claims that its own missile defence system is ready to be translated from the drawing board to a war theatre. India has also been in talks with the US and Russia for missile defence systems like the Patriot III and the SV-300 for long and medium ranges.
In early December, however, an Israeli delegation is understood to have held extensive talks with the Indian defence ministry. Indian officials expressed more keenness on the Davids Sling than in the Iron Dome.
Antony today advised caution on demands for change to the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which grants soldiers immunity from prosecution in areas covered by the law, to address alleged harassment of women by defence personnel.
We have to be very careful and we cannot take any hasty decisions, the minister told a news conference after inaugurating Aero India 2013 here.
In the same breath, Antony promised such cases involving defence personnel would be handled strongly. I have informed the armed forces that any such cases will have zero tolerance.
The Justice J.S. Verma Committee, many of whose recommendations were reflected in the February 3 ordinance on crimes against women, had suggested changes in the AFSPA.
For a second there, I thought this was a story about Bar Refaeli;)
Planning meetings in Tel Aviv, then spicy shawarma and fresh, hot falafel on Allenby Street. Meet with contractors in New Delhi, then palag paneer, chicken tikka, and lamb tandoori. Budget talks in Ramat Gan, lunch at Rak Basar. Dinner at Kimmel in Neve Tsedek. Mumbai for engineering issues, Idli for breakfast at Ramashraya, lunch at Konkan....
I would like to be on that project.

Predominately focusing on Alexander Christodoulakis’ maternal grandfather’s side of the family, according to the Archives of the Hellenic Institute in Venice, Italy, which initiated the Institute of Byzantine and post-Byzantine studies, the farthest that the family can date itself is the 13th century AD. It is considered to be one of the most ancient documented Hellenic families. The family’s official Venetian documentation- ‘Hellenic Society of Venice- Summario Leggi Scuola Greca, Mariegola, Capitolare’- is in the beginning of the 15th century AD before the fall of Constantinople, 1453.
Due to the fact that one of the strong lines of the family was indelibly related to the Byzantine Empire, as Bankers, Financiers, Advisers to Emperors, Generals, Ship- owners and Diplomats; they were given titles of aristocracy, which are documented in the Archives of the Vatican and in Venice.
The family had moved assets, trading and endeavors to Italy, primarily Venice, Genoa and Spain. During the great Renaissance, which was derived from Byzantium, many Greeks had moved west. They brought with them all the tools necessary for the birth of the Renaissance: ancient papyri, know- how of executive and legislative governance of which Byzantium was the mecca, a great amount of wealth, banking skills in diplomacy, shipping skills, trading techniques, artisans, craftsmen, painters, sculptures, primarily wealth.
The family begins its official documentation in the registries and archives of Venice in 1498. The family was highly respected by the Doges and was given titles of aristocracy for their services, and because of this, the conclave of the Doges gave permission for the establishment of the Greek community.
Being one of the founding families of the Greek community in Venice, they assisted financially with respectful sums, along with other wealthy and powerful Greeks in Venice, to build the Greek church of St George and to acquire excellent real estate, creating the ‘Campo dei Greci.’ Shipping and trading were the primary endeavors of the Greek Community in Venice. His ancestor was the President of the Greek Community of Venice and presided during the years, 1709, 1728, 1757, 1765, 1769, 1776, 1779. He died at 100 years of age. He was not only a keen business man and ship-owner but also a successful writer.
The family is documented as a main shipping business with trade routes throughout the Mediterranean. Among Alexander’s ancestors were the great figureheads of the family; it is also historically documented that he also descends from one of the noblest and high ranking Athenian families (History of the Athenians: During the Ottoman Occupation: From 1458-1687, Book I, Dimitrios Kambouroglou, Historian).
The family also established one of the thriving publishing firms in Venice. It published rare papyri from the Monasteries of Byzantium (efforts were made to preserve as much as possible). Before and especially after the fall of Constantinople, it was of the utmost importance to insure for posterity priceless treasures from the ancient world, such as the ancient tragic poets and philosophers and more.
Plutarchos – Great Grandfather
Apostolos – Grandfather
Alexander – Grandson
Due to the onslaught of Smyrna and the outbreak later of WWII Alexander’s maternal grandfather Apostolos’ business was interrupted by the wars. He spent many years in the military and fought back-to- back wars at that time. He was a war hero.
Alexander’s paternal grandfather, George, was also a war hero as well and there were two national funerals in the city of Athens for the Christodoulakis’ side of the family. Presidents, prime ministers, ministers, armed forces, diplomats, social personalities and thousands of people attended.
Apostolos refused to fight in the Greek civil war of 1945 and continued his industrial works in North America, where his wife, Alexander’s grandmothers’ family, was already operating successful commercial businesses. His grandfather established industrial factories and Portland Shipping Co, and pioneered to make industrial production and trade with Taiwan at the time.
Thirty years later, Alexander Christodoulakis reopened Portland Shipping Co, which today is Portland Marine Group of Companies.
While growing up, Alexander was influenced by a highly creative family. His godfather and uncle, Alexis Minotis, is internationally acclaimed as the best classical Greek actor in modern history. He also played in famous Hollywood films. Minotis’ wife, Katina Paxinou also played in Hollywood, leading films, and earned an Oscar in 1943 as best supporting actress for her performance in Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bells Toll.” As a child, Alexander exercised his own creativity by playing music. At the age of 7 years old, he was playing classical music pieces while performing jazz improvisations. Despite his extremely busy schedule today, he is still a keen music lover.
As a young man, he attended private-International- British uniform school and later he joined and served a term in the armed forces. After his military service, he attended university where he studied shipping, economics, and maritime law. He began his entrepreneurial career by reopening Portland Shipping Co., in the early 1990s. He built it into an international company through challenges, ‘exceptionally hard work’ and entrepreneurial instinct.
While building the Portland Marine Group, Alexander applied himself rigorously to realizing a further successful career in the world of international finance and asset management. He was regarded one of the world’s youngest successful asset managers at the time also by size of the assets under management.
When he is not involved in group management and global finance, Alexander spends his time studying and staying up to date on political sciences. Since the mid-90’s until recently Alexander has assisted orphanages and supported elderly homes. Alexander is also involved in a number of organizations and a member of various societies. One of these organizations is the Piraeus Marine Club where he is a proud member.
Alexander’s current focus is on discretionary investments, asset management and corporate management via PBS SA Capital Group, which also covers a large range of major stock market and alternative market holdings across the globe. Alexander developed a maverick reputation for his swift market maneuvers, innovative and unorthodox, yet highly competitive financial solutions.
He implemented his own business code of conduct by “sticking by the side of co- investors” at a difficult time and made it possible for them to have minimum losses due to the market crash. Although a herculean task, he gained acclaim as a preferred partner with most banks and funds around the world. A large number of senior hedge funds and senior VP’s from banks said that they have never come across a man with such strong professional work ethics.
Highly skilled, with uncanny financial instincts, he is a sought-after board member and has acted as strategic advisor to heads of state and to state enterprises.
Over two decades he has successfully collaborated with top world banks, leading hedge funds and Fortune 500 companies of the world. Alexander is Toronto based, but also works internationally.

If you look at the attachment, you can see the weight is split into components mgsin and mgcos...I just do not see how this is worked out. I think the axis is being chosen so that the above mgsin and mgCos are parallel and perpendicular to the slope but how do you know which is which? I can't see how this works at all...Please please someone explain to me what weird rotation has gone on here so that the sins and cos are obtained?... I mean, for example, Fg is acting straight down right, and IT would be the opposite side from where the angle is, so using trigonometry, the component of Fg acting parallel to the slope should be mg/Sin and not mgSin surely?!

Finding the first grey hairs is an inevitable part of growing older and whilst some have chosen to embrace ageing, others will opt to stock up on box dye.
The beauty guru regularly shares hair-related content on YouTube where she boasts more than 260k fansCredit: Youtube/ Glam Girl Gabi
According to the pro, there are few tips to keep in when looking after your silver locksCredit: Youtube/ Glam Girl Gabi
However, as one pro, Glam Girl Gabi, recently insisted, it is possible to look youthful with grey or silver strands – that is, as long as you know a few tips and tricks.
Taking to YouTube, where she has a whopping 260k followers, Gabi gave fellow beauty enthusiasts her ”biggest piece of advice” for those wanting to proudly rock and wear their greys.
She said: “The biggest piece of advice that I have for you if you’re looking into transitioning out of colouring your hair is to start by ashing out your hair.
“Mistake number one is having a warm hair colour contrasting with your grey hair.
“Warm-toned browns like chestnut and even warm-toned blondes like honey are a massive contrast to grey because they are tonally opposite,” she noted in her video.
Given grey is a naturally cool colour, having it right next to warmer shades, she said, will look ”really bad”.
Without first making the transition to ashy tones, the regrowth line, in turn, will be ”all the eye can focus on”.
If you’re looking to avoid the harsh contrast, Gabi advised starting with a mushroom brown-like colour, as well as opting for ash-grey highlights paired with deep brown ashy lowlights.
When shopping for haircare, the guru also urged to invest in a purple shampoo to banish all the yellow and brassy tones in seconds.
According to the pro, even sunshine can cause your hair to become slightly yellow, so wearing a hat when it’s bright outside is essential.
Taking good care of your locks, whatever colour they are, is another must – and here Gabi strongly urged to hydrate your hair.
Because grey hair has lost a lot of pigment and the hair follicle doesn’t produce as much oil, it can often appear course and dry, even wiry in some cases.
Luckily, the market is full of products that can help ”substantially” to offset this, amongst of which are treatment masks.
When using masks, which many tend to skip on, Gabi also told her fans to use it under heat.
This little hack will open the cuticle layer up, meaning the hair will get a better chance at absorbing the product and its benefits properly.
Speaking of heat, it’s essential you don’t go overboard, as grey hair strands tend to be more ”fragile”, Gabi reminded.
If you insist on styling your hair, the whizz urged to ”use the proper prep products”, as well as finishing off with a leave-in conditioner and serum.
Fellow beauty lovers raced to comments, where many thanked Gabi on sharing the tips.
One person said: ”I started going Grey at 30 and I’ve never plucked nor dyed my hair.
”I’m 57 and love my Grey hair! Get tons of compliments on it every where I go [sic].”
Someone else chimed in: ”I love this! I’m turning 40 in a few days and I’m turning gray at 39.
”This video has inspired me to embrace my grays.”
Another penned: ”Nature gives you the color you should have. I’m 54 and stopped coloring three years ago.
”Best thing I ever did. My hair has never been this amazing, and I’ve never gotten so many compliments.” | 6beauty

I spent my middle and high school years in Osaka, Japan. I returned to Seoul Korea. Now, I have been in Austin,Texas. I get a lot of inspiration from different cultures.
Turning to fine art has changed my life.
The visions I paint inspire emotions when I get it right. I paint for, mostly, happy emotions; but primal emotions erupt from the colors, the vegetation, the animals, too. It is gratifying to engender the emotions I feel in the pictures I paint!
I wish my drawings to be viewed as they are and the viewers to be comfortable viewing them. Occasionally I enjoy expressing my faint memory and imagination in my quirky paintings.
My art means everything to me in my life. That is why I hope my dream will go on forever.

This meetup is for past, present and future members of Cantabile. The playing level is advanced beginner to easy intermediate. Most music stays in first position.
Bring your instrument, music stand, ensemble music and a good appetite. Kevin and Britta will provide a nice, light buffet lunch. The festivities will start off with Cantabile regulars, Shirley, Betsy and Kevin performing trio versions of pieces that we have worked on in Cantabile at one time or another. This includes two pieces from Progressive Trios, as well as Beethoven's "Turkish March" and Mozart "Divertimento" from Classical Trio Music for Beginners. After lunch we will split up into various ensembles in several rooms to enjoy playing old favorites and sight reading new pieces.
Kevin plans to make his home available to regular chamber music meetups in the future, so let's give this new tradition a good start! | 28hobby

Comments on the proposed rule can be submitted to BLM until July 10, 2012.
BLM’s proposed chemical disclosure rule would require operators to
disclose to the public, after completion of the hydraulic fracturing activity, the chemicals used during the activity;
confirm that wells utilized for fracturing operations meet appropriate construction standards; and
develop appropriate plans for managing and disposing of flowback water from fracturing operations.
According to BLM, the proposed rule is modeled upon existing rules in several states, would complement these states’ efforts and would integrate disclosed data into the existing FracFocus.org website. Given that state hydraulic fracturing rules apply to operations on federal lands, there are concerns this proposed rule would create a conflict by duplicating state regulation. Additionally, under the proposed rule, operators engaging in hydraulic fracturing would be required to prepare cement bond logs and undertake pressure testing to ensure the integrity of all casing before fracturing operations begin. Currently, the preparation of cement bond logs on surface casing is an optional practice. Finally, BLM proposes that operators store flowback fluids in tanks or lined pits only, and contemplates that BLM may impose additional conditions on permits to drill, as necessary, to ensure protection of the environment and other resources from flowback fluids.
Agencies are honing in on hydraulic fracturing. A day before BLM released its proposed rule, EPA published draft permitting guidance for Class II wells using diesel fuel in oil and gas hydraulic fracturing. The draft guidance is intended to clarify the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) permitting requirements that apply to hydraulic fracturing operations using diesel fuel. Pursuant to the 2005 Energy Policy Act, hydraulic fracturing operations are exempted from SDWA underground injection control (UIC) permitting unless diesel fuel is used as a fracturing fluid. According to the draft guidance, permits for oil and gas hydraulic fracturing using diesel fuels are available through the SDWA UIC Class II Program, the well class for oil and gas activities. Comments can be submitted to EPA on or before July 9, 2012. | 49petroleum_and_natural_gas_engineering

We breezed into Elsa’s space without a care. Of course, we should have met her on neutral turf – given the dogs a chance to sniff butts and say hello. But we didn’t.
We heard a deep growl from this miniature being as Elsa defended her turf. She leapt toward Sadie and as she came down to land she snatched a hunk of Sadie’s ear. Sadie snarled and snapped at the bouncing terrier, indifferent to the havoc her own blood created as it spurted across the newly painted creamy white walls.
I left the blood for someone else to clean and rushed Sadie to the vet and a few hours later brought her home dressed as you see in the picture.
As I study the photo now, I wonder what Sadie was thinking? Did she know how silly she looked? Did she care? I’m not a scientist and I don’t know the “truth” about what animals “think” or do not “think.” I only know that if she were alive now, she would be curled up next to me as I sit at my desk, her tiny white hairs embedding themselves in the carpet as she slept. No amount of vacuuming could ever remove all the tiny Dalmatian hairs she’s shed, scattered in the carpets, in the car, in our blankets and in our hearts. It’s two years since she died and I cannot come into the house without expecting Sadie to be at the door waiting for me.
Then comes a nanosecond when I remember that she’s gone and then a tightening in my chest as my consciousness scratches the layer of grief that hovers around my heart: the grief of losing my parents, my brother, many friends and family and my dogs. The grief that comes with being human.
I talked about this once with someone who said, “What a bummer.” Yes, what a bummer. But not talking about grief, not feeling it may be more of a “bummer.” Avoidance often leads to a foggy paralysis which is where we find Anna Simon at the beginning of the novel Turtle Season.
Anna learns, as I think all of us must, that we have a choice in how we face the losses that weave through our lives. My father, Gershon Black, taught me an essential lesson. He loved to write poetry and after suffering a major stroke, he could no longer use his right hand – his writing hand. He chose to teach himself to write again – this time with his left hand – and he continued to write poems until his death. One of my favorites is this one, “Call Me Lefty.”
All my life
I have been right handed
Played ball by catching
And throwing with my right hand
Eating, dressing, doing everything
As a regular guy does.
When along comes
An auto accident
And boom I wake up
With a stroke
No longer able to speak
No longer able to move.
I began to move my left hand
And to speak after a fashion
A mere auto accident won’t stop me
Dress and eat with one hand,
I become a one handed wonder
So call me Lefty – for Lefty I remain. | 35literature

Over the course of life, most of us have made some bad decisions, possibly hurt people close to us and gone down some roads that we would love to avoid if we were given the chance to do things over. However, life doesn’t come with a delete button. Those bad decisions and the regrets that they bring with them are a very real part of life. So how do you cope with the fact that you’ve made some bad decisions, hurt people and possibly broken some relationships along the way?
Shame and guilt are very real feelings. Depending on who you were and what you did before you accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you may have more of those feelings than other people you know. However, guilt and shame were never yours to carry. The Bible has plenty of verses about God’s desire for us to forgive others, but are there Scriptures that allow us to forgive ourselves? Take heart! The answer to that question is a resounding, “Yes!” God expects us to extend the same grace to ourselves that He wants us to show to others. Let’s take a look into the Word of God to find out what the Bible says about guilt, shame and regret.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (TPT)
Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God.
The first step to truly being able to forgive yourself is to understand that who you were is not who you are. According to this incredibly powerful verse penned by the Apostle Paul who knew a few things about regret, when we enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we become an entirely new creation. Paul understood the importance of becoming new. It’s important to understand exactly how evil Paul was before God miraculously met with him on the Damascus road. Not only did he seek to shut down churches, he even hand in murdering believers in Christ! Perhaps that’s why Paul told Timothy that before he came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, he was the “chief among sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).
According to Paul, once we become a Christian, the person that we used to be ceases to exist. In fact, he says that “everything is fresh and new.” While it can be tempting to continue to look at yourself through the lens of what you used to be, that’s not how God sees you! And to make things even better, God wants to use the fact that He saved you from what you were as a way to minister to others. When you fully embrace the fact that God has forgiven you of every past transgression, you can point others to His grace and mercy. Why was Paul able to lead people to Christ? Because Paul knew that if God was able to save him, He could save anyone. God is able to take the things that we’re ashamed of, erase them, but still allow use to point others towards reconciliation with Him.
Romans 8:1 (TPT)
So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
Most of Paul’s letter to the Roman church revolves around the theme that God offers His salvation to anyone who believes. In fact, there are verses in the Book of Romans that many Christians point to as the “Romans Road to Salvation.” However, this beautiful verse creates an imagery that can truly help for those of us who often struggle to forgive ourselves.
In Romans 8:1, Paul paints the picture of a courtroom. In fact, the term he used when he said “condemnation” was an ancient Greek word that was used when legal action was being brought against an individual. Take a moment and allow yourself to be the subject of Romans 8:1.
Imagine that you’re on trial for all the things that you’ve ever done wrong. God, who is referred to as a judge in the Bible is sitting on the bench while Satan, who is often referred to as an accuser lays out the case against you. With a detailed list of every sin, shortcoming and failure in your past, Satan makes his case against you. In your heart, you know that you’re guilty. You still have very vivid memories of everything that you’re being accused of.
But then something miraculous happens. In 1 John 2:1, John refers to Jesus as our “Advocate with the Father.” The term “advocate” also came from ancient Greek legal circles. In modern times, it would be the same term that we would use to describe a defense attorney. Once Satan gets done making his case against you, your Advocate stands to His feet and approaches the bench. He provides a written record of your life to the Judge, and miraculously, every wrongdoing is gone.
Make no mistake about it, it had nothing to do with you. Instead, when the Advocate stepped up to the Judge’s bench, He pointed to the date that you asked Him to be your Savior. Armed with that evidence, your Advocate knows that you’re innocent because the things that you were accused of have been removed from your history.
For we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God.
If you open your Bible to the 11th chapter of Hebrews, you will begin to read through a huge list of people who God blessed, used and worked miracles for and through. While it’s easy to look at that list and say, “I could never be as worthy as those people,” that’s simply not the purpose of the list. Known as the “Hall of Faith,” Hebrews 11 paints a beautiful picture of flawed people who God forgave, cleansed and used.
The people included in Hebrews 11 are a motley crew if there’s ever been one. There are drunks, prostitutes, murderers and others who somehow found their way into God’s list of some of the greatest saints that have ever walked the face of this earth.
Isn’t that encouraging?! Your sins and failures do not disqualify you from God’s grace and they certainly don’t preclude you from His service. If they did, the Hall of Faith would be nonexistent. Instead, it provides a beautiful list of people who have sinned just like Paul said all of us have done in Romans 3:23. You’re no different from those people, and God has a glorious plan for your life that far outweighs any of the missteps that you’ve made over the course of your life.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Surely you must know that people who practice evil cannot possess God’s kingdom realm. Stop being deceived. People who continue to engage in sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, sexual perversion, homosexuality, fraud, greed, drunkenness, verbal abuse, or extortion-these will not inherit God’s kingdom realm. It’s true that some of you once lived those lifestyles, but now you have been purified from sin, made holy and given perfect standing before God-all because of the power of the name of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and through our union with the Spirit of God.
If you stop at the end of 1 Corinthians 6:10, things may seem hopeless. After all, Paul pretty much listed everything that a person could do wrong and said that those people would not inherit the kingdom of God. However, the truth of verse 11 cannot be ignored. He said, “Some of you once lived those lifestyles.” But what you used to do is not who you are. Why? Because of Jesus and our union with the Holy Spirit.
A Closing Prayer:
God, I know that You have forgiven me and there are no words for me to adequately thank You for that fact. Please, help me forgive myself. When I look at myself, help me to stop seeing the mistakes I’ve made and the damage I’ve done. Instead, help me to see myself through Your eyes as forgiven, redeemed and made new. In Christ’s name, Amen! | 10christianity

The National Organization of Test, Research, and Training Reactors (TRTR) has prepared this report in response to a request from the DOE NERAC Subcommittee charged to analyze the future of university nuclear engineering and research reactors. TRTR recognizes university research reactors (URRs) as national assets serving their local communities and the Nation in a wide spectrum of applications. The following contributed success stories from university research reactors assist to demonstrate the TRTR position.
The following material reflects the personal views of the author as the TRTR Chairman for 2000 and does not reflect the North Carolina State University formal thoughts or positions.
The United States was the early international leader in nuclear science education, research and applications. Today, the international community recognizes our Nation for falling behind in this field of science the U.S. pioneered. Neutrons are increasingly becoming essential tools for studies in the physical and bio-medical sciences. Epithermal neutrons are used in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) in the medical efforts to overcome gliobastoma multiforme and deep-seated melanoma tumors. Low energy or cold neutrons are ideal probes for fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics and the physical structure of biological cells. However, leading-edge research is only possible with high quality scientists and engineers. Education in nuclear science and engineering is an important factor in the strength of our national science and health programs. The Nation’s training, research and tests reactors are viable neutron sources prepared to meet the present and future multi-disciplinary educational and research objectives.
The U.S. government currently operates only two test reactors supporting the sciences. These facilities alone can not accommodate the growing research community. In addition, test reactors can not be used for educational purposes due to the necessary round-the-clock operation supporting research and isotope production. University research reactors ranging in power levels from 10 MW to zero-power critical facilities are essential contributors to the national scientific and engineering infrastructure.
A Department of Energy (DOE) study in 1994 identified university research reactors as geographically distributed nuclear resources and knowledge bases for education, research and informed discussion with public issues. University research reactors readily provide neutrons to researchers. However, university research reactors have closed at an alarming rate from about seventy (70) facilities in the late 1970s to twenty-nine (29) in 2000. The facility closures are primarily due to facility under utilization and university administration budget constraints. Universities typically provide a budget for maintaining a reactor operations and maintenance staff. Little or no funds are available for establishing a multi-disciplinary infrastructure that develops a reactor user community from the campus and local industry.
A question often asked is "What is the Nation missing with these research reactor closures?" However, the important question should be: What scientific discoveries have we missed by not providing the scientific community with the necessary neutron sources? Our Nation, our health and our future can not afford a missed scientific opportunity. Collaboration between DOE, nuclear engineering departments and respective reactor facilities strengthen each for the scientific challenges of the next century.
TRTR considers all remaining twenty-nine (29) university research and training reactors as critical components of the national scientific and engineering infrastructure. University research and training reactors must establish a multi-disciplinary infrastructure in order to strengthen their position within the university. Reactor laboratories have to be equipped with the necessary instruments to attract external interest. Beam guides and instruments have to be designed and built to meet research requirements. Services such as neutron radiography and neutron activation analysis (NAA) should be established where the neutron fluence is available. DOE funds awarded to university reactors help to support the resources necessary for establishing the much-needed multi-disciplinary infrastructure. Neutron users interact with nuclear engineering departments and reactor staff to design, construct, and produce the required research resources for academia and industry. These symbiotic collaboration benefits all national parties involved and clearly help to meet the Department of Energy commitment to support the long-term energy research and development needs of the Nation.
TRTR continues to recommend increased funding for university research and training reactors to update and enhance facilities for meeting the current and projected education, research, and service requirements. The DOE investment in existing operating university reactor facilities will be an efficient and cost effective method for improving U.S. technological competitiveness.

TRTR 2000 Chairperson
These are the personal reflections of the author and do not necessarily reflect the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) official thoughts or positions.
The US National Organization of Test, Research, and Training Reactors (TRTR) represents the largest group of such facilities in the world. The IAEA research reactor database (RRDB) shows that there are 54 operational research reactors in the USA. This is 19% of the world’s total, yet unfortunately these facilities have very little impact on the research reactor community and their users world-wide.
As an example, the IAEA holds a major symposium every 3 to 4 years for research reactor operators, owners, users and regulators. About 142 persons attended the Symposium on Research Reactor Operation, Utilization, Safety and Maintenance held in Lisbon in September 1999 from 42 countries and yet there was not one US research reactor operator, owner, user or regulator present. The participants noted this total lack of participation with dismay. There were many who noted that the USA has such a lot of experience, can help others so much and can significantly contribute to the further development of research reactors world-wide, yet does not appear to be willing to do so. The Lisbon Symposium was not an isolated situation. At the last meeting of the International Group on Research Reactors (IGORR7), only one US reactor was represented, and the author ended up making the presentations of other USDOE research reactor personnel who could not attend.
The IAEA has about 40 technical co-operation projects aimed at assisting research reactors in developing countries operate their reactors in a safe manner and with full utilization. Parts of these projects involve sending experts to the facilities from developed countries and sending personnel from the facilities to research reactors in advanced states. Again, the United States assists in these missions, scientific visits and fellowships only a very little.
It is sad that in recent years the USA has been notable by its absence in the IAEA’s Technical Committee meetings and the follow up consultant’s meetings dealing with the development of the Agency’s Research Reactor Safety Standards. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is recognized as one of the world’s most respected leaders in this field, but its lack of participation is having an impact on these standards.
The USA has lost, or is losing, its status as the world’s leader in research reactors. The fact that a major new research reactor has not been built or even planned in the USA for many years means that other countries are rapidly moving ahead in the research fields which need such reactors. Notable in this respect is the work being done in such countries as Germany, France, Japan, Korea, Hungary, and China.
In short, the USA used to be a major participant in the international research reactor community, now its participation is negligible. Clearly, the major hindrance is funding. If the US government and its agencies had taken the advice of the several committees they themselves had formed to study US research reactors this sad situation would not have occurred.
The central mission of the Ward Center for Nuclear Sciences (WCNS) is to provide safe analytical and testing facilities for the research and education activities of faculty, staff and students at Cornell University.
Its resources are also available to users outside Cornell as part of the public service functions of the University, symbolized by its status as the Land Grant University of the State of New York. The largest facilities at the WCNS are a 500 kW TRIGA Mark II Pulsing Nuclear Research Reactor and a 10,000-Curie Cobalt-60 Gamma Cell. Initial criticality of the Cornell TRIGA reactor was achieved on January, 1962, under a steady state, 100 kW power license. The license was renewed with increased power limit to 500 kW in steady state and $3.00 in pulse operation in November 1983. The Cornell TRIGA has been extensively utilized during the last 38 years of operation by a diverse group of users within Cornell University, by governmental institutions, and by industrial companies. Instruction and research activities were first initiated in the field of Nuclear Engineering at Cornell’s School of Applied Engineering Physics and then as the Nuclear Science and Engineering Program. The Ward Laboratory at Cornell, which houses the Cornell TRIGA reactor, became the Ward Center for Nuclear Sciences in January 1997. With the approval of the Cornell Board of Trustees, the Ward Center became a unit under the Vice Provost for Physical Sciences and Engineering. This administrative change makes the Cornell TRIGA reactor the core of a true university-wide research and teaching facility to provide interdisciplinary teaching and research capabilities to students and faculty in all colleges at Cornell.
The Cornell TRIGA reactor is the only operating university research reactor in the State of New York. The Cornell TRIGA is used as a source of radiation for numerous nuclear analytical and testing facilities. These facilities include: Neutron Activation Analysis, Fast Neutron Irradiation, Neutron Radiography, Neutron Induced Auto-Radiography, Cold Neutron Source, Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (near completion), and Neutron Depth Profiling (near completion). In addition the development of a Boron Neutron Capture Therapy facility and a Neutron Reflectometer facility are planned. Recently we received funding from NSF to build a dedicated neutron activation analysis laboratory for the analysis of dendrochronologically dated tree rings for the identification of volcanically-influenced periods of environmental change.
The academic program for nuclear sciences is organized under the graduate field of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and offers M. Eng., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The Cornell TRIGA reactor is utilized by the graduate programs both in courses and in design and research projects. In the past five years, the average annual number of graduate students involved in design and research projects utilizing the reactor has been about eight.
Idaho State University
The Idaho State University Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (NRL) supports the University and College of Engineering efforts to provide high quality undergraduate and graduate education; perform basic and applied research; disseminate knowledge and public education, provide training, and specialized analytical services in support of institutions, agencies and industries in the state of Idaho and the Nation. University research reactors perform a significant role in the development and application of nuclear science and technology and in the education and training of personnel entering the field. There are no nuclear power plants in the state of Idaho and, with the exception of the few test and research reactors still in operation at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), the ISU AGN-201 training and research reactor is the only facility in the immediate area that is accessible by the general public for reactor operation training, irradiation services, and public education to promote awareness of the beneficial uses of nuclear reactors and nuclear energy.
The primary on-campus users outside the Nuclear Science & Engineering Program are the Departments of Physics, Geology, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, the College of Pharmacy, and the School of Applied Technology. Since 1967 there have been more than 25 M.S. degrees and 3 Ph.D. degrees (a relatively new program) completed that involved the use of the AGN reactor. All of these degrees were in Nuclear Science & Engineering. Off-campus users include the Environmental Engineering Division of the J.R. Simplot Company, the INEEL Operational Dosimetry Unit, Lockheed Environmental Systems and Technologies Company, and Scientech. The ISU AGN reactor is also utilized for professional training programs. Workshops have been presented for DOE personnel and DOE contractors. State and local radiation protection personnel have participated in our training programs. In addition, many primary, middle, and high schools located within a 100-mile radius of ISU have visited the facility for reactor tours and demonstration experiments.
The facility is also used extensively for nuclear science demonstrations by several programs with student participants from a broad geographical region, including the Fort Hall Indian reservation. We have brought several groups of Native Americans from the Fort Hall reservation to the NRL under the American Indians in Science and Engineering Program in an effort to spark interest in careers in engineering and the physical sciences. The Science Trek program, co-sponsored by the Idaho Public Television Stations and the Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH), attracts elementary school students from Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and all parts of Idaho. These students attend this annual over-night event at which they gain hands-on science exploration experience at several participating ISU laboratories. Ten of these students are selected to participate in nuclear science experiments using the AGN reactor. This session has traditionally been one of the most popular sessions based on the number of students who request it during registration. Another program sponsored by the IMNH brings regional Girl Scouts to ISU for the Idaho Summer Institute – Forays into the Field. The purpose of this week-long program is to promote careers in science for young women. This year, the girls spent an afternoon in the NRL learning about nuclear energy and performed a experiment in which they measured the half-life of a radionuclide generated in the AGN reactor. One other program that uses the AGN reactor is the ISU Summer Engineering Academy sponsored by the College of Engineering. This program, which is now two-years old, brings 40 high-school juniors representing different high schools from across the state of Idaho to take part in a week of special classes, laboratories, and tours designed to increase interest in an engineering career. Participants are organized into four groups of ten students; each group spent an afternoon in the NRL performing demonstration experiments using the AGN reactor. Each student observed the startup and shutdown of the reactor, and was even given the opportunity to briefly operate the reactor under the direction of a licensed operator.
We believe that all of these programs are important to help stimulate greater interest in, awareness, and understanding of nuclear science, while at the same time to help reduce the public’s irrational fear of things "nuclear" through direct "hands-on" education and experience.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR-II) operates at 5 MW. It is a heavy-water reflected, light-water cooled and moderated research reactor that utilizes flat, plate-type fuel. The MITR is the major experimental facility of the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory, which is an interdepartmental laboratory that functions as a center of both education and research for many MIT departments as well as local-area universities and hospitals.
The MITR has a very broad research program that encompasses most aspects of neutron science and engineering including nuclear medicine (neutron capture therapy and radiation synovectomy), neutron activation analysis for the identification of air pollutants and isotope ratios in geological specimens, fission engineering including digital control of spacecraft reactors, materials testing and evaluations, and teaching. The MITR is one of only six facilities in the world to be engaged in patient trials for the use of boron neutron capture (BNCT) therapy to treat both glioblastoma multiforme (brain tumors) and deep-seated melanoma (skin cancer). Many types of experiments have been conducted. A sampling includes:

The North Carolina State University Nuclear Reactor Program (NRP) supports the University and College of Engineering efforts to provide high quality under- graduate and graduate education; perform basic and applied research; disseminate knowledge, provide training, and specialized analytical services in support of institutions, agencies and industries in the state of North Carolina and the Nation.
The first reactor dedicated to education and academic research reached criticality on our campus in 1953 (on left). The fourth and current reactor is the 1 MW PULSTAR reactor initially licensed in 1972 and re-licensed by the NRC in 1997 for an additional 20 years of operation.
The history of the PULSTAR reactor (at right) shows diversity in its use by departments at NCSU and by other colleges and universities. The primary on campus users outside the Department of Nuclear Engineering are the Departments of Wood and Paper Science, Textile, Microbiology, Chemistry, Botany, Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Material Science and the College of Veterinary Science.
Off campus academic users in North Carolina are Duke University Medical Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Western Carolina University. Since 1973 there have been 34 M.S. degrees and 12 Ph.D. degrees completed that involved the use of the PULSTAR reactor. Fifteen of the M.S. and five of the Ph.D. degrees were in Nuclear Engineering. The other degrees were in Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Wood and Paper Science and medical research programs at Duke University. Thirty-four researchers outside of Nuclear Engineering are users of the PULSTAR reactor and associated facilities. North Carolina grade school students use the PULSTAR reactor for science curriculum activities including experiments, tours, lectures, science fairs, special projects, and participation in our Young Scholars in Nuclear Science summer program.
The NRP is nationally recognized for the environmental analytical program involving NAA. In North Carolina alone, the NRP has multiple 25-year running programs in support of coal-fired electric utility environmental permitting programs. Also, its 30-year interaction with the Environmental Protection Agency includes over 20 years of daily analytical support to EPA's air pollution monitoring program that controls air quality standards over the U.S., the early certification of the clean coal mine reserves in the United States for elemental pollution, the development of certified EPA methods for waste water analysis, the development and publication of nuclear analytical methods for the analysis of air particulates for the EPA Methods Compendiums and, over 10 years of analytical support to DOE's Remedial Action Cleanup Projects around the U.S.
The PULSTAR reactor is also utilized for professional training programs. Nuclear utility operators and engineers, DOE Interns, State and local radiation protection personnel participate in our training programs.

The Ohio State University Research Reactor (OSURR) achieved initial criticality in 1961. The OSURR was originally a 10 kW natural convection pool-type reactor. The standard core loading was approximately 3.5 kg of high-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel. In the 1980's, the OSURR underwent an upgrade.
The HEU fuel was exchanged for low-enriched fuel (LEU), and the licensed operating power was increased to 500 kW. During the upgrade, a two-loop cooling system was installed. As a land-grant school, our focus is education, research, and service Thus, we support educational activities, research by various individuals and agencies, and service work, both to private industry and educational users. The most recent annual report listed the following activities:
The Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) is housed within the Radiation Center on the campus of Oregon State University (OSU). The mission of the Radiation Center is to provide high quality nuclear-related facilities and services to interested users in support of their projects.
The Radiation Center strives to be a local, regional, national, and international resource of excellent service to those communities. The Center prides itself on being involved on local level. Working with the Oregon Office of Energy, the Center has coordinated the HAZMAT Radiological Training Courses for HAZMAT response teams throughout the State of Oregon for the last 15 years. With the closing of the State of Oregon environmental radiological monitoring laboratory in Portland, the Radiation Center is essentially now the only place in the state where radiological monitoring can be performed. Two recently completed projects underscore the Center’s commitment to the community. First, after requests from Northwest and Canadian businesses, a gas irradiation facility was constructed for 41Ar gas production. We can now supply and ship the tracer to any refinery or similar facility in the Northwest with 24 hours notice. Second, a local District Attorney requested forensics assistance from the Center. This involved neutron activation analysis and a significant amount of testifying on evidence related to a high profile triple homicide case.
Academic involvement is the most important form of service that the OSTR can provide. The Radiation Center supported 96 different courses this past year, mostly in the Department of Nuclear Engineering, here at OSU. Other departments include Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Geosciences, Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences, Bioresource Engineering, Honors College and Naval Engineering. About one-third of these courses, totaling 1,114 hours of reactor operation, directly involved the OSTR. Additionally, five classes from three different universities/colleges used the OSTR as part of their laboratory curriculum.
Use of the OSTR by researchers has remained strong. The number of projects supported this year was 126, with 69% directly involving the OSTR. The contracts supporting these research projects totaled approximately $3,000,000. This year the Radiation Center provided service to 55 research faculty and 93 students from 51 different institutions, 63% of which were from outside the State of Oregon and 14% of which were from outside the U.S. and Canada. So while the Center’s primary mission is local, it is also a facility with a national and international clientele.
In addition to formal academic and research support, the Center’s staff provides a wide variety of other services including public tours and instructional programs, and professional consultation associated with the feasibility, design, safety, and execution of experiments using radiation and radioactive materials.

The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Radiation Science & Engineering Center (RSEC), which houses the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor (BNR), is an education and research tool serving the university, the state, and the nation. The BNR entered service in 1955 and was the first reactor licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission. It operates under license R-2. The license was renewed for another 20 years in 1986 and a second 20-year renewal application is planned.
The BNR began life as a MTR pool type reactor licensed for 100 kW. In 1960 the power was increased to 200 kW. As use of the reactor expanded the facility was enlarged in 1962 and again in 1964 with the addition of laboratories, hot cells, a Co60 pool, offices, and classroom. In 1965 the reactor was upgraded from the plate type, highly enriched MTR fuel to a 1 MW TRIGA core. This modification provided a significant power increase from 200 kW to 1 MW while maintaining the use of natural circulation for cooling. The modification provided two other improvements: the fuel change moved from 93% enriched fuel to less than 20% enrichment thus lowering the reactor's safeguards category; and secondly, the TRIGA design provided for pulsing capability up to about 2000 MW. In the early 1990s the facility was further upgraded with the installation of a digital monitoring and control system. The reactor bridge was also modified to permit both X and Y movements as well as rotation of the reactor tower; this allows increased operational flexibility since experimental facilities can be located anywhere in the pool. The facility has a full time staff of 17, assisted by about a dozen students, supporting education, research, and service.
The RSEC has provided training for both foreign and domestic reactor operators. Support is provided for work throughout the university and has included forensic research, archeology, anthropology, materials development, solid state device enhancement, geological characterization, waste and clean water monitoring, air monitoring, NAA, neutron radiography and radioscopy, neutron transmission measurement of borated aluminum, chemistry, two phase flow studies, pipe wall thinning measurements, food and plant irradiation, soil studies and sterilization, reactor control, angular correlation, radioactive tracer studies, radioisotope production and numerous other scientific and engineering usages. During the past year 54 faculty and staff, 27 graduate students, and 30 undergraduate students performed research at the facility and 9 Master's theses and 5 Doctoral dissertations were completed. In addition 31 individuals from 18 industries, research organizations, or other universities used the facility.
The RSEC conducts a significant outreach program focusing on high school and junior high school students and teachers. Around 3000 people from outside the university annually participate in tours, classes, and experiments.
The Purdue University School of Nuclear Engineering operates the PUR-1 reactor. This reactor is the first and only operating reactor in the state of Indiana. It is used as an integral part of both the undergraduate and graduate programs in Nuclear Engineering, as well as having a highly visible role in public education about nuclear processes.
The PUR-1 reactor is a 1 kW pool type reactor that utilizes flat plate MTR type fuel. First critical on August 30th in 1962, the reactor was re-licensed in 1988 for an additional 20 years of operation. The reactor is operated as needed for classes, presentations, and research.
The primary mission of the reactor is education, not only of Purdue University students, but of area high school students and the general public as well. The reactor is also available for research projects by University users as well as outside groups.
There are two courses in Nuclear Engineering (one undergraduate and one graduate) that make direct use of the reactor. Specifically, the students operate the reactor and perform experiments to learn reactor physics principles. There is also a third course in the School of Health Science wherein the students calibrate some of the reactor instrumentation and irradiate samples for analysis in their lab course.
The PUR-1 reactor facility also runs a neutron activation analysis class for area high school students under a reactor sharing grant. These students spend the entire day in our lab learning how to use gamma spectrometers, in conjunction with the reactor to produce samples for them to identify. This program has operated for the last fifteen years and has an average of 6-7 high schools with 8-10 students each participating each year. This year, only two weeks after invitations were mailed to teachers, four groups involving fifty students have already responded.
The reactor is also assigned a prominent role in educating the public about nuclear processes. Lecture/tour combinations are offered to student groups, Purdue classes, and the community. This emphasis was increased in the last three years and an average of 800-1000 people toured the facility each of those years. We are currently collaborating with Rush University Medical Center to perform preliminary work on a variation of the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) method for treating malignant brain tumors.

The Reed College Reactor Facility has been used for research and educational projects at public and private high schools, colleges, and universities in northwest Oregon since 1968. Although the main purpose of the reactor is to support Reed College student thesis projects and for faculty research, the largest number of users are from local colleges, universities, and high schools. The Reed College Reactor is a TRIGA Mark I "swimming pool" reactor licensed for 250 kW.
The reactor is primarily used in chemistry and physics courses for instruction, research, and analysis, especially trace-element analysis. In addition to providing student research opportunities, the reactor works to educate the community on the principles of radiation, health physics, nuclear reactors. The reactor has over 1000 visitors every year from area colleges, universities, and high schools.
The reactor is operated almost entirely by undergraduate students who are licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This allows students to conduct their own research projects and to be hired by the facility to conduct irradiations for educational organizations, private research organizations, and for industrial applications. A one-year, non-credit seminar is open to all interested parties to prepare them for the licensing examination. Students and faculty from other institutions also attend the seminar. Approximately 6-8 undergraduate students receive NRC licenses every year, and an equal number graduate. At any one time 14-20 students hold an active reactor operator license, which is over one percent of the Reed College student body.
Neutron Activation Analysis has been used at the Reed Reactor Facility in the fields of geology (rock sample analysis), anthropology (tracing trade routes by elemental fingerprinting of sources), medicine (detection of selenium concentrations in internal organs of rats), archeology (age dating), chemistry (identification of contaminants), biology (trace element analysis), forensics (matching powder to guns), and computers (silicon wafer analysis). Autoradiography, gamma irradiation, and other experiments are performed when needed by the students.
The Reed Reactor Facility reactor also provides professional training programs such as our annual Radiation Safety Officer course.
The Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center (RINSC) is located on the Narragansett Bay Campus of the University of Rhode Island. The RINSC research reactor achieved initial criticality in 1964 as a 1 MW, highly enriched uranium fueled reactor. In 1968 the facility underwent a power upgrade to 2 MW, making it one of the highest flux university reactors in the United States. In 1993, RINSC converted from high enriched uranium fuel, to an advanced design low enriched uranium core that has improved the neutron spectrum that it produces.
The reactor was constructed with the intention that it would be utilized by all of the universities in the State of Rhode Island. The oversight commission for the facility has representatives from the University of Rhode Island, Brown University, and Providence College. Historically, RINSC has been used by these universities as an analytical tool for research. Atmospheric Chemists have been using the reactor to help them determine how air pollution migrates around the world. Oceanographers are using the facility to measure trace metal levels in marine tissues and sediments. The university Physics departments have been utilizing neutron beams for studying the atomic layer of oils on substrates, as well as for using neutron scattering to look at internal stresses and defects of materials, and for neutron radiography. Over 100 graduate degrees have been awarded as a result of the reactor being located at URI.
Additionally, the facility has made an effort to bolster public perception of the nuclear energy industry by providing educational tours to schools and civic groups within, and outside the State of Rhode Island. As the state's only nuclear facility, the RINSC staff provides assistance to the State Emergency Management Agency, and to the State Radiation Control Agency on radiological health matters.
RINSC is presently working toward gaining a foothold in the biomedical industry. BNCT is an on going research project that we are attacking from various fronts. We are working in collaboration with Purdue University and Argonne National Laboratory to develop an improved neutron beam filter. Furthermore, we are working with researchers from Brown University, Roger Williams Medical Center, and the Rhode Island Cancer Council to develop a better compound for delivering the active agent that localizes the radiation that kills the cancer cells. BNCT is not the only biomedical application that RINSC is involved in. Our staff is working with a small company that is doing biomedical uptake studies with non-radioactive tracers, which can be collected and analyzed using neutron activation analysis, after the tracers have been excreted from the patient. This appears to be a promising technique for a variety of applications in the pharmaceutical and medical diagnostic industries.
In the near future, RINSC intends to upgrade it's maximum licensed power to 5 MW. We believe that this will enhance our ability to serve the research and education community needs of the future.

The Texas A&M University Nuclear Science Center (NSC) is a multi-disciplinary research and education center supporting basic and applied research in nuclear related fields of science and technology as well as providing educational opportunities for students in these fields as a service to the Texas A&M University System and the state of Texas.
The NSC reactor, an 1-MW pool-type TRIGA reactor, is at the heart of the NSC facilities which includes a 2-MW micro-beam accelerator, a 60Co gamma calibration range, a real-time neutron radiography facility, hot cells and manipulators, radiation measurement laboratories, radiochemical laboratories, many HPGe gamma spectroscopy systems, and a variety of instruments for radiation detection and measurement.
The NSC reactor is designed for easy load and unload of various types of samples and is being actively used to produce various kinds of radioisotopes for industry, hospitals, and academic users. The NSC is also nationally recognized for its neutron activation analysis (NAA) services to many research and academic institutions in the western part of the United States. The NSC reactor actively supports the Nuclear Engineering Department on campus, one of the largest nuclear engineering programs in the United States. The NSC reactor is serving approximately 50 nuclear engineering students annually through its teaching and research activities. The NSC reactor has been also successfully used to attract students to nuclear engineering programs by providing introductory tours and part-time jobs. The enrollment of undergraduate nuclear engineering programs (nuclear engineering and radiological health engineering) increased by 65% (from 55 to 91) between academic year 1997-98 and 1998-99. The NSC reactor has become one of the major attractions on campus. Last year alone, the NSC had 2,982 visitors which include elementary, middle, high school, and college students, faculty members, clients, and national laboratory and industrial scientists and engineers. Through these tours, the NSC is emphasizing the importance of nuclear energy in the United States.
With the strong support from the University, the NSC is continuously increasing the diversity of its facilities and services. Recently, the NSC developed a 125Xe irradiation system to produce 125I for medical brachytherapy sources and a Fast Flux Irradiation Device (FFID) to support 39Ar/40Ar dating of geologic samples. The NSC has begun providing gamma irradiation services on a regular basis. The NSC is planning to produce 60Co gamma irradiation sources for food irradiation on campus. Recently, the NSC has built a 2-MW micro-beam accelerator facility for radiation biology study. To accommodate these increased facilities and activities, the NSC has significantly increased its site area.

The University of Florida Training Reactor (UFTR), first licensed in 1959, was one of the first nuclear reactors on a university campus. Today, in its 41st year of continuous licensed operation, it is one of the oldest but most active mid-size non-power reactors in the United States. The reactor operates at a maximum thermal power level of 100 kilowatts in a loop-type design versus the more familiar pool-type non-power reactor. Plans are currently nearing completion for converting its fuel from high-enriched to low-enriched fuel. Further plans are underway to relicense the facility before the license expires in August 2002.
The UFTR is used within the Nuclear and Radiological Engineering Department at the University of Florida to train students to operate reactors, for laboratory courses for a variety of departments including Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mechanical Engineering, Anthropology, and Environmental Engineering Sciences, among others, and as a radiation source for various research programs and experiments such as trace element analysis of ocean sediments, river sediments, foods, plants and many other materials. Recent trace element analysis projects utilizing neutron activation analysis include measurements of mercury and arsenic levels in fresh fish, silver in zeolites and contact lens as well as copper, chromium and arsenic in treated wood and wood ash. The facility also has a neutron radiography capability using film cassette technology. Our facilities are also available to other schools at no cost for non-externally funded programs through the Department of Energy Reactor Sharing Program (DOERSP). Under DOERSP, the UFTR has been used to train technologists in medical physics and radiation protection and conduct numerous educational and research activities. External users over the past seven years include more than forty schools located around Florida and the Southeast including Florida State University, Stetson University, Florida Institute of Technology, University of South Florida (Tampa), University of Central Florida, Savannah State University, St. Petersburg and six other community colleges, as well as Crystal River High School, St. Augustine High School, and many other high schools, professional and civic groups. Indeed, we have had more than a dozen regional science fair winners perform research at our analytical laboratory in the last six years, some on projects suggested by teachers, others suggested at the UFTR.
Educational activities are our specialty but over 3,000 faculty, students and others make substantive usage of UFTR facilities each year. We conduct many dozens of tours, demonstrations and laboratory exercises each year, many for middle and high school science students and their teachers. Whenever a teacher, group of teachers, class of students, civic group, or other group is interested in visiting our facility, we are pleased to be of service in conducting such activities to meet any group’s particular needs, with planned length of visit left up to the group to decide. Whether observing a reactor startup or measuring a half-life or trace elements in a hair sample, these groups enjoy their time at the UFTR in an atmosphere conducive to learning. The proof of success is the high rate of return usage for educational users whether on campus or one of the many external users who bring student groups from as far as 200 miles away.
The University of Massachusetts-Lowell Research Reactor (UMLRR) has been serving the university and surrounding community since 1974. The UMLRR is a one-megawatt, steady-state, pool-type reactor. It is one of three facilities within the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Radiation Laboratory, which includes various Co-60 gamma irradiators and a 5.5 MV Van de Graff accelerator.
The principal purpose of the UMLRR is to provide a multidisciplinary facility for use in nuclear-related education and research. Although the main focus of the facility is on intra-university research, use by those outside the university is fully welcomed. Industry partnerships are also highly encouraged. Used by six UML departments and in 13 courses, the UMLRR supports existing degree programs in sciences, engineering, and other disciplines. Its use fosters interdisciplinary academic activity to support faculty and student research. The UMLRR also provides irradiation services benefiting government agencies and industry, and it supports outreach activities for pre-college students that encourage interest in science and engineering careers.
The UMLRR is currently involved with various biomedical research projects including: analytical testing of medical radiation oncology devices for treating cancer, developing optimized radiation doses for routine medical product sterilization, and developing stable-isotope biomedical tracer analytical techniques for research and diagnostics.
Radiation induced cross-linked polymers are being studied for medical applications in tissue engineering and improved prostheses. Various radiation effects research projects include: radiation induced materials enhancement for commercial and military applications, radiation resistant electronics testing for commercial, military, and NASA applications, and the development and testing of spent nuclear fuel storage shipment materials for corporations serving the U.S. and international nuclear power industries.
One of the most successful endeavors at the UMLRR is the Reactor Sharing Program sponsored by the Department of Energy. This program, which started at the University in l985, has become extremely popular with area schools, grades 7 through 12. The goal of this program is two-fold: to motivate pre-college students into developing an interest in the sciences, and to promote an understanding of nuclear energy issues while expanding learning opportunities. The program is comprehensive in that it includes lectures, hands-on experiments and tours of the UMLRR. Students and teachers may also participate via interactive two-way cable and satellite television. The lectures cover topics on environmental radiation, the uses of radiation in medicine, and the potential of nuclear energy.

The Ford Nuclear Reactor (FNR) is administered through the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, a World War II memorial dedicated to the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology for the benefit of humanity. In support of that mission, the FNR operates as a regional center for nuclear research and education, and fosters utilization of the facility by a broad range of academic, industrial, and government institutions.
The FNR is a 2 MW open-pool MTR-type research reactor that produces a peak thermal flux of approximately 2x1013 n/cm2/s. The FNR achieved initial criticality in 1957; in 1981 it served as the whole-core demonstration facility for low-enrichment uranium research reactor fuel. The FNR currently operates on a schedule of ten days at full power followed by four days of shutdown and maintenance, averaging 120 hours of operation per week.
The strength of our program is the accessibility of the reactor core for flexible in-core and in-pool experiments, coupled with our prolonged, full-power duty cycle. This makes the FNR the reactor of choice for material damage studies involving accelerated neutron aging. The FNR currently hosts two major research projects focused on the integrity of light-water reactor (LWR) pressure vessel materials. The first involves the joint efforts of the U.S. NRC, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Mechanical and Environ-mental Engineering Department of the University of California at Santa Barbara to examine the fundamental mechanisms behind atom displacement damage caused by fast neutron interactions and the resulting degradation in the mechanical properties of iron alloys. The related Heavy-Section Steel Irradiation Program, also sponsored by the NRC, investigates irradiation-induced embrittlement in actual reactor pressure vessel materials. Both programs address a major re-licensing issue facing currently operating LWRs: Can we ensure the integrity of existing pressure vessels such that they could be relied upon to safely operate an additional ten years or more beyond their current licensed lifetime?
The FNR participates in numerous other education and research programs that extend our service well beyond the University of Michigan. Academic service activities at the reactor include neutron activation analysis (NAA); radioisotope production; beam extraction experiments such as neutron radiography and neutron scattering; and teaching and laboratory experiments related to reactor physics, radiation safety, and materials analysis. Over the past decade, the FNR has irradiated more than 32,000 samples for NAA, supporting researchers at nearly a hundred universities and colleges in the U.S. Similarly, the FNR offers one of the best facilities in the world for the irradiation of rock and mineral samples for 39Ar/40Ar age dating. The reactor facilities also are used for a large number of university-level research projects and formal courses during the year, and by local high schools and middle schools for basic science education. During 1998-1999, more than 500 high school and middle school students visited the FNR, including classes in advanced chemistry and physics. Over that interval, the FNR supported research leading to 33 B.S., 16 M.S., and 24 Ph.D. degrees in Nuclear Engineering, and contributed to nearly 80 advanced degrees in other disciplines.

The University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR) is a multi-disciplinary research, development and education center operated by the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). With its first start-up on October 13, 1966, the reactor has been in operation for more than 30 years. A 100% power upgrade in 1974 and a more than 50% increase in operating hours in 1977 allow the reactor to maintain a 150+ hours per week schedule. The 10 megawatt light water moderated reactor is versatile and compact in design, and its enviable operating record allows multiple irradiations and experiments virtually around the clock. It leads the nation in university research reactors. The University continues to look forward with a firm commitment to renew and relicense MURR, whose original NRC license expires in November 2001. The entire renewal and relicensing program, anticipated to last four years, will ensure that MURR is safe, operational and reliable for another 20 years. The total cost of the program is estimated at $8 to $9 million based on a professional engineering firm’s estimate.
The Center’s fundamental mission is to provide quality service to MU, to Missouri and to humanity within two major arenas—service to the R&D Community and service to the Global Community. The focus is on interdisciplinary R&D programs, centered largely in partnering MU departments, other universities, federal and industrial labs—programs that could not be conducted without the unique MURR facilities and personnel. The Center thus provides leverage for the expertise and talents resident in other departments and institutions, and a high priority is given to collaborative research programs in the life sciences, particularly those with potential to lead to breakthroughs in healthcare.
The University has the distinction of being the only university in the world to have commercialized three radiopharmaceuticals. MURR Center researchers and their collaborators have developed, patented and commercialized Quadramet®, a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical designed to relieve the pain associated with metastatic bone cancer, (US-approved); Ceretec™, the first radiopharmaceutical to image the brain effectively (US-approved for the diagnosis and assessment of stroke victims); and TheraSphere™ for the treatment of liver cancer (approved in Canada and pending FDA approval in the US). MU is poised to play a significant role in the development of new medical technologies and direct a national cancer research initiative with its unique collection of resources: the MURR Center; School of Medicine and its Ellis Fischel Cancer Hospital; College of Veterinary Medicine; and College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; and neighboring Harry S Truman Veterans Administration Hospital.
The Center’s focus on interdisciplinary R&D also contributes to MU’s educational mission, providing rich research and training opportunities for an international population of graduate and undergraduate students. MURR-based projects cover such disciplines as anthropology and archaeology, chemistry, engineering (chemical, electrical, mechanical and nuclear), geology, materials science, medical and life sciences (including cancer diagnostics, treatment and prevention), nutrition, physics and veterinary medicine. MURR annually supports research of approximately 400 faculty and 150 graduate students representing more than 180 departments from more than 100 international universities and some 40 federal and industrial labs. In a recent five-year period, students conducting thesis research at MURR earned 51 doctoral, 36 master and 3 bachelor degrees. Of these 90 students, 14 were from a slate of universities that includes Harvard, Michigan, Purdue, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Washington, and Berlin’s Freien Universitat.
Since 1980 the US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded an annual Reactor Sharing grant to the Center to make its reactor capabilities available to other educational institutions—overall more than $1.29 million, a considerable outreach effort. MURR is grateful to DOE for the long-standing support it has given. Last year’s grant award supported the research of 60 faculty and staff and 22 students from 21 institutions. Over the years, the Reactor Sharing program has afforded neutron-based research to hundreds of faculty and students at dozens of US universities and colleges. For most, this nuclear research would not have been possible without this DOE/MURR outreach program.
A similar outreach effort is the Center’s Archaeometry Lab, continuously funded since 1988 (nearly $1.29M) by the National Science Foundation (NSF). MURR’s sensitive neutron activation analysis capabilities can characterize more than 30 trace elements in a variety of specimens. These data are used by the archaeologist to determine the origin of artifacts; by the geologist to investigate natural processes that created different types of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks; and by environmental scientists to monitor the movement of toxic chemicals in soil and water. This program supports dozens of faculty and staff projects annually, and has funded a steady stream of graduate student internships.
A second NSF-funded effort is the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, expressly designed to excite college undergrads to enroll in graduate school. Since 1989, MURR has drawn top national applicants, matching their backgrounds and scientific interests with MU and MURR faculty mentors. The students define and conduct reactor-based projects under their guidance, attend and participate in multidisciplinary seminars, and conclude their summer experience with a formal presentation. Additional NSF funds created a Science/Media interface to bridge the growing gap between science and technology and the general public. MU Journalism students provide a peer level exchange of viewpoints, goals, attitudes and ideas, shadowing their REU peers, learning the lingo and lay of the labs, and extracting interesting, scientific stories that ordinary folks can understand. In turn, their more science and engineering-minded peers are helped to realize the critical importance of communicating with a more general audience.
In summary, the MURR Center’s broad capabilities for nuclear-based research, including a research staff and technical support that can nurture a project from inception to practical application, afford a singular leverage not only to the University’s R&D and educational efforts, but to those of the nation and beyond.

The University of Missouri-Rolla Reactor Facility is operated as a university facility, available to the faculty and students from various departments of the university for their educational and research programs. The Reactor facility strongly supports the Nuclear Engineering undergraduate, graduate and doctorate programs. Several other college and pre-college institutions use the facility for research, training and introduction to nuclear technology. The University of Missouri-Rolla Reactor Facility (UMRR) attained initial criticality on December 9th, 1961.
The UMRR was the first operation nuclear reactor in the state of Missouri. The initial licensed power was 10 kW. The licensed power was upgraded to 200 kW in 1966. During the summer of 1992, the reactor fuel was converted from high-enriched uranium fuel to low-enriched uranium. The facility is equipped with several experimental facilities and a counting laboratory that has gamma and alpha spectroscopy capabilities. The gamma spectroscopy system includes germanium and sodium-iodide detectors, associated electronics, and state-of-the art data acquisitions and spectrum analysis software. The alpha spectroscopy system consists of a surface barrier detector and data acquisition equipment. The beam-port experimental area is equipped with NE-213 and time-of flight neutron spectroscopy systems.
An average of more than 900 students from 40 different institutions participate in the Reactor Sharing Program at UMR. Ours is a model program that directly meets DOE objectives of strengthening nuclear science and engineering instruction, as well as providing research opportunities for faculty and students from non-reactor owning universities. Typical Reactor Sharing session topics include: Radioisotope decay and Half-Life Determination, Neutron Activation Analysis, Reactor Systems and Operations, Radiation Shielding and Reactor Experiments. The UMRR also provide one-on-one individual science project research. Several high school students perform individual science fair projects every year at the UMRR facility.
Nuclear Engineering students have performed graduate level research on genetic algorithm unfolding, thermal power calibration, neutron spectroscopy and safety analyses of the UMR Reactor within the last two years. Nuclear Engineering (NE) utilize the facility for full time courses in the undergraduate program. Other departments using the UMRR include Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Life Science, Civil Engineering, Basic Engineering and Engineering Management. The University of Missouri-Columbia has training for reactor theory and reactor operations with a graduate class at the UMR Reactor Facility annually. This training is a condensed version of one of the UMR NE classes. The UMRR Facility provides training for power plant reactor operators from within the state of Missouri.
The University of New Mexico's AGN-201M reactor was used for some research during the 1998-1999. This was a continuation of the research from the previous year and involved subcritical multiplication and die-away measurements at power level below 1 microWatt.
The AGN-201M Reactor Facility is an essential part of our educational program, including public education, and continues to serve us well. The use of the reactor from July of 1998 through June of 1999 was as follows:
Type of Use
FY98 – 99 Hours
Graduate Student Research
Maintenance and Equipment Check
Operator Training and Requalification
Totals for the Year
There were 10 undergraduate and 2 graduate students involved in reactor operations during the reporting period.
The University of New Mexico's AGN-201M reactor continues to be used extensively for teaching experiments as a part of our undergraduate and graduate programs. These experiments include approach-to-critical, reactor period and reactivity measurements, importance functions measurements, sample activation, control rod calibrations, and reactor power and neutron fluence measurements. With its minimal operating cost, the UNM AGN-201M reactor is the perfect educational tool for our undergraduate program and continues to play a major role in our seniors' educational experience.
The Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory (NETL) reactor is a Mark-II TRIGA® research reactor licensed for a power level of 1.1 Mw. The facility was dedicated in 1986 with the reactor first attaining criticality in 1992. The facility usage has increased gradually as more users become aware of the new facility. The NETL and the Nuclear Engineering Program are part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Two facilities that make the NETL unique are the operational cold neutron source and the reactor-based slow positron beam currently under construction.
A grant from the Texas Advanced Technology Program provided the initial funding for the construction and testing of the cold neutron facility (TCNS). Low energy, or cold, neutrons exhibit wave characteristics that allow them to be "bent" or reflected by neutron guides to areas that have a lower radiation background.
This increases the sensitivity of in-beam analyses and provides a relatively intense source of low energy neutrons for physics experiments. Future proposed experiments include cold neutron collection and cold neutron localization. A Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) system was installed to take advantage of the TCNS and the low neutron background of the source. PGAA detects the gamma rays emitted when neutrons are absorbed in atomic nuclei. The technique is multi-elemental and non-destructive with high sensitivity. The technique is typically used for the detection of hydrogen and boron in metals and alloys.
A collaborative effort between the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Texas at Austin and funded by the Texas Advanced Technology Program has resulted in one of the few intense, variable energy positron beam facilities in the world. The positrons are produced by the radioactive decay of Copper-64 previously irradiated in the NETL reactor and then moderated by slowing down in solid (frozen) Krypton. Theoretical intensities of 108 positrons per second are expected with a continuous energy range from 1 to 50 keV. The positron equipment was initially tested in Arlington, Texas and was transferred and installed at the NETL in 1999. The facility is currently in the final construction and testing phase. Plans for the facility include research in fundamental positron physics and the detection of defects and voids in silicon and advanced materials.

The University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor Laboratory was established as a teaching laboratory for the Engineering Physics Department. The laboratory is dedicated to supporting the use of the nuclear reactor for instruction, research and industrial service applications.
Instructional support is provided to the department as an integral part of the Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics curriculum in the areas of instrumentation and reactor physics. In addition to instruction for students from the department, students from a number of other educational institutions use the facilities under the sponsorship of the U. S. Department of Energy Reactor Sharing Program. Such use has ranged from individual laboratory sessions to semester-long laboratories on selected topics. Classes from user institutions have come to our campus for demonstrations of reactor operating characteristics and laboratory sessions on neutron activation analysis (NAA). Other institutions have selected one or more of our department laboratory sessions on nuclear instrumentation or reactor physics. Still others have elected specific laboratory experiences with high-resolution gamma ray spectroscopy or neutron counting instruments. For those groups not able to visit our facility, we have also irradiated and/or counted samples and provided them with resulting spectra that can be viewed with a program to analyze spectra for peak centroid energies and count-rates of all peaks. Finally, we can loan a computer program that will allow remote (internet or modem) access to one of our computer-based multichannel analyzers, allowing students in PC equipped labs to remotely view, manipulate, and analyze spectra.
Research activities include radioisotope production and irradiation of materials for various material property effects. Irradiations may be performed with neutrons or gamma rays from the shutdown reactor core. Most of our previous research has involved sample analysis by use of neutron activation analysis of materials. NAA has been used on a wide variety of materials, ranging from archeological samples to waste materials. In addition, a neutron radiography facility, which has the capability for imaging internal details of operating systems, has been developed, and is available for users outside the department.
The Reactor Laboratory is also available to provide services to industrial users. These services include training, irradiations, radioisotope production, neutron radiography and neutron activation analysis. A Research Reactor Training program was developed, and has been used by electric utilities from several states as part of training programs for reactor operators, senior reactor operators, and shift technical advisors.
Support services are also provided to educational institutions. The laboratory maintains calibrated counters for wipe and leak tests, and can provide "leak test kits" to external customers, which are used and returned for counting. We can also provide loans of radiation survey equipment or a Geiger-Mueller counter and software that will allow a PC to serve as a counter and recorder.

The Nuclear Radiation Center at Washington State University is an all-university and regional facility to provide nuclear related educational and research programs. The Center houses a 1,000 kW TRIGA-type pool reactor capable of pulsed and steady-state operation at a variety of pool locations. Reactor irradiation can take place inside several independent experimental tubes, in beam tubes, and in the pool itself.
Washington State University has made a recent (1999) major investment in renovating and upgrading the reactor. The improvements include replacement of reactor pool liner with new epoxy coating to correct leaks, replacement of the reactor’s cooling tower and heat exchanger, replacement of the thermal column with epithermal neutron filter, and construction of a treatment room for Boron Neutron Capture (BNC) research. Total funding from both WSU and USDOE for these projects exceeded $750,000.
In addition to numerous projects throughout the Pacific Northwest, three new major research programs have begun at the Center. These are as follows:
United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR): The program includes the measurement of plutonium and other actinide elements in human tissues from deceased workers at U.S. nuclear fuel production and processing facilities, including Hanford. It is a joint project to evaluate health effects of plutonium and other exposures with WSU TriCities, the WSU Nuclear Radiation Center, College of Pharmacy, and the Department of Chemistry. It is funded by the USDOE.
Respiratory Health Effects and Toxic Metals in Air Particulates in Spokane: The project will include the measurement of toxic trace elements by neutron activation analysis together with other analytical data and relationship to respiratory outcomes. The joint project is with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Chemistry, the WSU Nuclear Radiation Center, and the University of Washington. It is funded by the Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research Center.
Boron Neutron Capture Facility: The WSU reactor has unique characteristics, which made it very suitable for BNC research, a new cancer treatment, particularly for brain cancers. An experimental treatment facility is being built for animal studies. It is a joint project with the WSU Nuclear Radiation Center and the College of Veterinary Medicine. It is funded by the USDOE.
Washington State University was one of only three US universities to receive a major grant from the USDOE to upgrade radiochemistry facilities in the Department of Chemistry and the Nuclear Radiation Center and to hire a new faculty member in the Department of Chemistry.
The WPI Nuclear Reactor Facility first began operations in 1959 primarily as a tool for nuclear engineering education. Since then, it has been used to train two generations of nuclear engineers and scientists for the nuclear industry. Today, WPI continues to be committed to continuing its mission of training future nuclear engineers and scientists. The facility provides a hands on approach to teaching by encouraging student utilization of each facet of the reactor, its control systems, experimental facilities, and laboratory equipment. This type of complete access to a working nuclear reactor is unique for an undergraduate nuclear engineering program.
The open pool reactor is licensed for a maximum thermal output of 10 kW, which allows a maximum thermal neutron flux of about 1x10E11 nv, and is designed such that the core is readily accessible. Facility equipment includes a beam port for neutron beam experiments including neutron radiography, a graphite thermal column for neutron diffusion studies, two germanium semiconductor detector systems for spectrometry studies including neutron activation analysis, and an array of sodium iodide scintillation and Geiger detector systems for various laboratory exercises. Both the control console and the peripheral laboratory equipment used for student projects and laboratory exercises are located in the reactor room.
Nuclear Engineering at WPI is an undergraduate program under the Mechanical Engineering department. Seven nuclear engineering courses and project opportunities are offered for students of all disciplines. The available courses include basic nuclear concepts, radiological safety, reactor theory, and nuclear waste disposal. Laboratory experience accompanies most of these courses in addition to a separate nuclear engineering laboratory course. Participation in elements of the program is strongly interdisciplinary. The nuclear engineering courses compliment several other programs at WPI, including; physics, chemistry, biotechnology, electrical engineering, and civil engineering. WPI also places a strong emphasis on project work, and the reactor facility has been a focal point for much project work in the nuclear area. Faculties from other departments make use of the facility, as well as several from other colleges in the area, who routinely utilize the facility under the Reactor Sharing Program.
The Reactor Sharing Program has evolved such that it provides intensive, extended use to a few users, rather than quick and limited use to many users. A number of institutions have made use of the WPI Reactor under the Reactor Sharing Program. And, as has been the case for many years, tours, demonstrations, and presentations have been made to several area pre-college students. The facility staff recognizes the need to interest school children, and their teachers, in the nuclear sciences. A concerted effort is made to reach out to area high schools and elementary grade students. In the past, we have participated in presentations and demonstrations on nuclear radiation properties and biological effects to students at several high schools in the Massachusetts area.

Jia Xin, Jianfei Huang, Weijia Zhao, Jiang Zhu, "A Spectral Deferred Correction Method for Fractional Differential Equations", Abstract and Applied Analysis, vol. 2013, Article ID 139530, 6 pages, 2013. https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/139530
A Spectral Deferred Correction Method for Fractional Differential Equations
A spectral deferred correction method is presented for the initial value problems of fractional differential equations (FDEs) with Caputo derivative. This method is constructed based on the residual function and the error equation deduced from Volterra integral equations equivalent to the FDEs. The proposed method allows that one can use a relatively few nodes to obtain the high accuracy numerical solutions of FDEs without the penalty of a huge computational cost due to the nonlocality of Caputo derivative. Finally, preliminary numerical experiments are given to verify the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
Fractional calculus, almost as old as the familiar integer-order calculus, has recently gained considerable popularity and importance due to its attractive applications in widespread fields of science and engineering (e.g., [1–6]), such as control theory , viscoelasticity , image processing , electromagnetism , anomalous diffusion [10, 11], and hydrology [12, 13]. The overwhelming advantage is that fractional calculus provides an excellent instrument for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. These applications greatly highlight distinct superiorities and unsubstitutability of fractional calculus.
Similar to the integer-order differential equations, it is usually difficult to obtain the analytical solution for fractional differential equations (FDEs) (e.g., [14, 15]), and one has to resort to numerical methods. Thus, there has been a growing interest to develop numerical approaches in solving FDEs, and many and varied methods have been considered, for example [15–24]. In 2000, Podlubny suggested a matrix form representation of discrete analogues of various forms of fractional differentiation and fractional integration. Based on the so-called triangular strip matrices, an approach was presented to significant simplification of the numerical solution of fractional integral and differential equations. Diethelm et al. [17, 18] discussed an Adams-type predictor-corrector method for the numerical solution of FDEs and gave a detailed error analysis for this algorithm, including error bounds under various types of assumptions on the equation and asymptotic expansions for the error. This Adams-type method is convergent with order at least one if the analytical solution is twice continuously differentiable. In 2007, Lin and Liu developed a kind of linear multistep methods for fractional initial value problems based on Lubich’s high-order approximations to fractional derivatives and integrals. And they proved the consistence, convergence, and stability of these methods. In 2006, Kumar and Agrawal utilized the equivalent Volterra integral equation and extended a block-by-block method to some kinds of FDEs. Numerical examples have shown the efficiency and stability of this scheme. However, it is a pity that the error estimate and convergence order analysis of this scheme was neglected. Thus Huang et al. derived error estimate and precise convergence order of the block-by-block method under certain assumptions and tested the order via numerical experiments. It is shown that this block-by-block method is convergent with order at least 3 for any fractional order index . Li derived a Chebyshev wavelet operational matrix of the fractional integration and used it to solve a nonlinear FDEs. In 2011, Scherer et al. discussed finite difference schemes for the approximation of FDEs based on the Grünwald-Letnikov definition of fractional derivatives. Then, the asymptotic stability, the absolute stability, error representations, and estimates of the proposed explicit and implicit methods were obtained.
As for fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs), maybe the most famous model is the fractional diffusion equation used to describe the anomalous diffusion in porous medium. Further applications and numerical methods for fractional diffusion equation were discussed (e.g., [25–29] and references therein).
It is well known that the key difficulty in numerically solving FDEs or FPDEs is to discretize the nonlocal fractional operators, due to the requirement of using the values of the numerical solution for all the previous times at which the solution is calculated. This makes numerical methods slow and hugely memory demanding when the number of nodes is large. The problem is so acute that a great deal of effort has been devoted to overcoming it. In , Yuste and Quintana-Murillo presented an implicit finite difference method with nonuniform timesteps for discretizing Caputo derivative. This method allows one to build adaptive methods where the size of the timesteps is adjusted to the behavior of the solution. In this paper, a spectral deferred correction method for classical ordinary differential equations [31, 32] is extended and reconstructed to solve FDEs based on accelerating the convergence of lower-order schemes. For the new method, a relatively few Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto points are needed, and the high accuracy numerical solutions of FDEs can be easily obtained without a huge computational cost.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the equivalent Volterra integral equation is given; then a residual function and an error equation are defined. In Section 3, based on Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto points, a spectral approximation of the residual function is obtained. In Section 4, a fractional Adams method is used as a preconditioner to solve the error equation; then we describe the new spectral deferred correction method for FDEs. In Section 5, preliminary numerical experiments are given to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
2. Residual Function and Error Equation
In this paper, we discuss the numerical solution of the following FDE initial value problem (IVP): where is fractional Caputo derivative of order and defined as Assume that the right-hand side function is continuous with respect to two variables and . Then, according to Lemma 1 of , IVP (1) is equivalent to the following Volterra integral equation of the second kind: Obviously, if , the kernel in the integral of (3) is singular, and if , then (3) becomes the classical Picard integral equation formulation.
Suppose now that an approximate solution to (3) has been obtained by a low-order method. A measure of the quality of the approximation is given by the residual function And the error can be defined by However, in (5), is the exact solution of IVP (1), and we often cannot know it beforehand. Next, a relation between the residual function and the error will be deduced.
In (7), once the residual function is fixed, then a low-order method, such as fractional Adams method presented in , will be used to solve (7). In the following, we specify how the values are actually computed. For this, some stable and high-order accurate methods for interpolation and integration are required.
3. Spectral Approximation of the Residual Function
In this section, a spectral method is designed for obtaining high-order numerical approximation of the residual function.
Suppose that are the Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto nodes on , where and . Noticing that the interval of IVP (1) is , we can obtain Gauss nodes on through the following linear transformation:
Now, a low-order method is used to solve IVP (1) and get the initial approximation . Here, we take the following fractional explicit Euler method; namely, for , where is the approximations of solution function at nodes (), the weight coefficients are computed by
After obtaining the numerical solutions , using the nodes as the nodes of Lagrange interpolation for the initial approximation and the right-hand side function , we have where is the Lagrange interpolation polynomial of order , given as
In specific computations, the fractional Riemann-Liouville integral of Lagrange interpolation polynomial is needed. To this end, should be transformed into following expressions: where the coefficients can be computed by its matrix form, namely, here is the identity matrix of order .
By (11), the fractional integral of is calculated as
4. Spectral Deferred Correction Method
Once the residual function is computed by (17), the error equation (7) can be numerically solved by the fractional Adams method ; that is, for where is the so-called predictor, and are defined as with
Let the initial approximation vector , the error vector ; then the initial approximation solution is updated with
Based on the new solution , we can continue to compute the new residual function and the new error. And this procedure can be repeated until the high-accuracy solution is obtained. The pseudocode for spectral deferred correction method is given by the following.
Step 1 (initialization). Set a small parameter . Use fractional explicit Euler method (9) to compute an initial solution at nodes on the interval .
Step 2. Based on the initial approximation , compute the approximate residual function () by using (17).
Step 3. Use fractional Adams method (18) to solve the error equation and obtain the approximation ().
Step 4. Update the approximate solution (). If , then stop, and the approximation is the solution we get finally. If , let , and go to Step 2.
It can be checked that each correction procedure in this algorithm can improve the accuracy of the method, as long as such improvement has not gone beyond the degree of the underlying interpolating polynomial and the quadrature rules.
5. Numerical Examples
In this section, we verify the performance and high accuracy of the proposed method by following two examples. In these computations, the small parameter . All codes are written in Matlab 2010b and run on a personal computer with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 processor 2.00 GHz, 2 GB memory.
Example 1. Consider the following FDEs: with initial condition . The exact solution of this problem is given as
In Table 1, we list the number of iterations denoted by “Iter.,” the CPU time in second “Time[s]” and the errors in the maximum norm for different nodes and fractional order index . It demonstrates that when the new spectral deferred correction method is used to solve Example 1, only a relatively few nodes are used, and the high-order accuracy numerical solution is obtained with small computation complexity and computing time. To illustrate this point, we use fractional block-by-block method for comparison. To achieve the accuracy of 10−9, fractional block-by-block method needs about 320 nodes and 20.031599 seconds. Figure 1 shows that the error fast converge to machine precision, and it almost shows an exponential decay with increasing .
Example 2. Let one consider the following equations: subject to the initial condition . The exact solution is
For numerical experiments of Example 2, compared with the Example 1, the similar numerical results can be obtained. However, from Table 2 and Figure 2, one should notice that the error is larger than that of Example 1’s, and its convergence speed is also relatively slow. We think the reason is that the exact solution in Example 1 is smoother than the solution in Example 2, because it is well known that the results of any numerical method often depend on the smoothness of a given problem.
In this paper, a spectral deferred correction method is presented for fractional differential equations with initial value condition. Numerical experiments show it can obtain the high-order accuracy numerical solutions of FDEs without a huge computational cost caused by the nonlocality of fractional derivative. However, more efforts are needed to further the study such as detailed theoretical analysis and improve the algorithm for long-time simulation.

In 1921, Maurice Renaud,3 in seventy autopsies in cases of diarrhea, found suppuration of the middle ear and mastoid in every case, but did not discover any pathologic condition of the gastro-intestinal tract. Floyd,4 in 1925, reported twenty-six cases, occurring within eighteen months, with symptoms of gastro-intestinal disturbance, toxicity and loss of weight, in infants from 8 to 15 months of age. The earlier cases did not show any response to medical treatment, and autopsy revealed only pus, too thick to flow, in the mastoids. Mastoidectomy in such cases gave good results.
At the St. Louis Children's Hospital, similar cases have been studied in an effort to correlate the clinical observations with

In the Heat of the Night (1967)
A winner of five Academy Awards -- but not one for Sidney Poitier's powerful performance -- In the Heat of the Night pairs Poitier's Detective Virgil Tibbs with Rod Steiger's Police Chief Bill Gillespie. "Now just what do you do up there in Pennsylvania to earn that kind of money?" asks an incredulous Gillespie about money found on Tibbs, to which Tibbs responds, "I'm a police officer." The two work together to solve a murder, but only after Tibbs' police chief back in Philadelphia tells him to stay in Mississippi to solve the crime.
6 of 21
While the genre's been compacted into a cliche over the years (especially immediately following its heyday in the late '80s and early '90s), and also justly satirized for it, the fundamentals of the buddy cop film return each summer to theaters.
Here are twenty films from the genre that's been a mainstay in theaters and weekend cable programming. By Voice Film Club.

Instead of delegating the redevelopment direction of the city’s entire central waterfront to a single developer, the aim was to empower the communities most impacted by riverfront development to voice their opinions, hopes, and desires toward a new vision for the future of the central Delaware.
Through a year-long process led by Harris Steinberg, the leader of Penn Praxis at the University of Pennsylvania at the time, thousands of Philadelphians came together to create the Civic Vision for the Central Delaware, which was startling in its clarity and wisdom. Instead of more, big-box, suburban-style, auto-oriented, and auto-dependent development, the communities arrayed along the central Delaware voted for extending the city’s walkable, pedestrian-scaled grid to the river’s edge, and to use generous green spaces and public access as an overarching framework for riverfront redevelopment.
That vision was later embodied in the Central Delaware Master Plan, currently being implemented by the Delaware River Waterfront Corp. (DRWC). As the lead funder of both the Civic Vision process and the master plan that followed, we are pleased to see that the citizen-based plan for the central Delaware has been able to attract significant high-quality public investment. More recently, that has included private developer interest as well, including proposals ranging from new residential development to a new arena for the Sixers. In considering these development proposals, the test should be clear: Do they advance or derail the master plan? Do they honor the community vision?
The Civic Vision was a groundbreaking process not only for the central Delaware, but citywide, ushering in a new era of raised expectations, and expanded resident and community participation in planning and development decision making. The Civic Vision has been a big bet for us, too. Since 2007, the foundation has committed $30 million to support the initial citizen-led planning process, and toward the creation of new public spaces, like Race Street Pier, Washington Avenue Green, Pier 68 Recreation Pier, and the Central Section of the new Delaware Riverfront Trail, the city’s first truly multiuse trail, which broke ground last month.
The centerpiece of the central Delaware public space plan is, of course, the redevelopment of Penn’s Landing, which will involve a stunning new park stretching across I-95 and Columbus Boulevard to reconnect the city’s Historic District with the riverfront. The foundation has committed $15 million toward the creation of the park, which will be a new citywide public amenity. However, for the new Penn’s Landing Park to succeed as a public space, it is essential that the land adjoining it be developed sympathetically to ensure it becomes an active year-round people place every day of the week.
The William Penn Foundation has had a long commitment to supporting high-quality public spaces along both of the city’s riverfronts that are accessible, attractive, and welcoming for all Philadelphians. In addition to providing new recreation opportunities, we also feel that public riverfront access is essential to building public support for policies and regulations that safeguard the region’s water quality
The long years of planning and initial project development along the central Delaware are about to pay off for Philadelphia. The new Central Delaware Trail will be completed in less than 18 months from now, and early next year the construction process for the new Penn’s Landing Park will begin. All that remains to finally achieve the people-centered Civic Vision articulated over a decade ago is to stick to the master plan and honor the vision and wisdom of the community. | 32landscape_architecture

The short answer is yes! There’s a persistent myth that citrus fruits can’t be safely composted due to concerns about the acidic properties, possible chemical residue on lemons, and the fact that the rinds are tougher to break down. These concerns are misplaced as any excess acid or chemical residues are neutralized during composting, and rinds can be cut into small pieces to speed up the decomposition process. As for adding citrus to a vermicompost, proceed with caution.
What are the benefits of including citrus into your compost pile? And how can you do so safely? In this article we’ll discuss whether citrus fruits like lemons, limes and oranges can be safely added to your compost pile or worm bin. We’ll also talk about how citrus fruits interact with other materials in a compost pile, so you won’t have any trouble getting them started if you do choose to include them in your collection of kitchen scraps.
Common myths about composting citrus debunked
Common citrus fruits include: lemon, lime, grapefruit, mandarin, orange, tangerine, and kumquat.
You can safely add these fruits and their peels to a backyard compost. In the past, many people shied away from adding citrus to compost for a variety of reasons which we’ll explore (and debunk) below.
Yes, lemons are acidic, but not so acidic that they harm your compost. In fact, compost microorganisms prefer neutral to acidic environments, typically between pH 5.5 to 8, according to Cornell University. This is particularly true in the first stages of the composting process.
If you remember, a pH of 7 is neutral; anything below 7 is acidic, while anything above 7 is alkaline. A slightly acidic environment lends itself favorably to certain fungi, and helps decompose cellulose and lignin. Cellulose is found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, while lignin binds together “woody” fibers.
As a compost pile further breaks down, many acids (such as the ones from citrus fruits) get neutralized. A finished compost typically has a pH range between 6 and 8.
If you have a balanced compost mixture, or in other words, a good mix of both “green” and “brown” compost ingredients, adding a splash of citrus once in a while shouldn’t hurt.
Hard to break down
Sure, citrus rinds with their cellulose may have a slower breakdown rate than wilted lettuce, for example. This shouldn’t stop you from adding it to your compost, though.
To speed up the decomposition process, cut the peels into small pieces (a good practice for any large chunks of compost materials, citrus or otherwise).
Possible chemical residue
Another concern with composting citrus fruits was the fact that many citrus fruits are treated with pesticides and fungicides to prolong shelf live during shipping.
However, many of these pesticides are easily removed simply by washing fruits. A study from The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station found that plain tap water and scrubbing fruits and vegetables for at least 30 seconds was enough to significantly reduce the level of nine of twelve pesticides examined.
Secondly, the microbes present during the composting process are able to effectively break down any pesticides on the market today, says the Cornell Waste Management Institute. Two chemical pesticides known for their inability to biodegrade, DDT and chlordane, aren’t allowed in the U.S. anymore.
Benefits of adding citrus to your backyard compost
In composting terms, citrus falls under “green” compost components. Green materials are rich in nitrogen and are used to balance out the carbon-heavy “brown” materials. Nitrogen provides nutrition and helps microorganisms and insects to grow and multiply.
Besides providing nitrogen and other nutrients such as phosphorous and potassium, citrus fruits release an aroma that detracts pests from coming too close to your compost pile. While many of us appreciate the fresh, zesty fragrance of lemons, limes, and oranges, many backyard critters do not.
The other half of the equation of a healthy compost are “brown” materials which provide a shot of carbon. Carbon acts as a slow-release energy source for microorganisms. Examples of brown compost materials are dried leaves, twigs and branches, and shredded cardboard.
The slow-to-decompose “brown” materials help to balance out the more digestible “green” components.
How to compost lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits
What if you have a big pile of citrus in your backyard? Adding them all together as one large heap may not produce great results, but there are other ways that lemons, limes or oranges can work their way into your composting routine.
The key to adding citrus fruits successfully to a backyard compost is moderation. If you happen to go through a lot of citrus fruits during the week, it might overwhelm your compost pile, and throw off the balance of “greens” and “browns.”
Cut any large citrus rinds into small pieces before adding to the compost.
Mix citrus with other greens with moisture-rich components such as coffee grounds before adding to the pile.
What about the seeds?
Some people suggest removing citrus seeds before adding to your compost pile to prevent them from sprouting. I think this is unnecessary as it’s very unlikely that citrus plants will find a compost pile very hospitable—the chemical components are too strong. If you end up getting a few “surprise” citrus plants after spreading your finished compost around the yard, it’s easy to pluck the seedlings out. I say it’s okay to throw in a few citrus seeds.
Weed seeds on the other hand are a completely different story and can survive the rigors of a compost pile. Check out our article on composting weeds.
Citrus and vermicomposting
If you have a worm bin at home, it’s best to go easy on the citrus fruits. While adding citrus fruits isn’t exactly a hard no, it’s not exactly a food scrap you want to be feeding to your worms all the time either.
Why? Well, for one, many red wigglers don’t seem to like citrus rinds very much. When the worms don’t digest food scraps, the food is left there to rot and eventually create a stinky, slimy mess.
However, many people say that their red wigglers are more partial to citrus fruits and peels that have already started to decompose—in other words, are a bit slimy.
Note: I would be careful about adding moldy fruits or vegetables to a worm bin as some molds on fruits may harm the digestive systems of your wiggly friends. Some types of mold on vegetables seem to be okay.
Also, the pH balance of a vermicompost is much more delicate than that of a backyard compost. A few years ago, I went too heavy on the citrus with our vermicompost: I threw in a bunch of orange peels and lemon rinds without much thought.
Several days later I was left with a bunch of dead red wigglers. The likely reason was the environment became too acidic and/or the worms didn’t like the food enough to eat it. Either way, I suggest anyone with a worm bin to only add a little bit of citrus peel at a time to test it out. Maybe your wigglers will like it, maybe they won’t.
Please learn from my mistake and don’t go overboard with the citrus in your vermicompost!
Can you compost a whole moldy citrus fruit?
Yes, it’s perfectly fine to compost a moldy fruit or vegetable in your backyard compost bin. Mold cells on produce are one of the many that help with the decomposition process.
Of course throwing in a whole fruit or vegetable will take longer to break down. If you’re able to cut or smash the food in question first, this would help speed things up.
Conclusion: can you compost lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits?
If you’re like me and love to make homemade lemonade, or honey-lemon tea, then chances are you’ve got a bunch of lemons lying around. So, can you compost lemons? You betcha! Just be sure not to overdo it, and make sure to cut the peels into smaller pieces before adding to your backyard compost. And, if you have a vermicompost, proceed with caution when adding citrus peels: try a little at a time and see how your wiggly friends like them before adding more.
Is pineapple okay for compost?
Yes, pineapple is fine for adding to a compost bin. Pineapple would be considered a “green” material, a nitrogen-rich food scrap.
As you can imagine, the different parts of a pineapple will break down at varying rates. The golden flesh is the easiest to decompose while the tougher core, skin, and top take considerably longer. Consider cutting the tougher components into smaller pieces first before adding to compost.
How often should you turn compost?
Turning your compost regularly is crucial to aerating and mixing it up. Turning your compost at least two times per week will help speed up the decomposition process. However, if you’re working with (or trying to achieve) a hot compost, you may turn it every day as necessary. Remember to keep the compost pile moist too—it should feel like a damp sponge.

The 28-year-old Sapiyev had done quite a bit in the amateur ranks already, twice winning gold (2005 and 2007) at the World Amateur Championships as a light welterweight, as well as silver (2011) and bronze (2009) as a welterweight. He competed in Beijing in 2008 as a light welterweight, losing to 2004 gold medalist and 2008 silver medalist Manus Boonjumnong of Thailand in the quarterfinal round.
This year, it was a different story. Sapiyev dominated his opposition, never winning a fight by less than six points. He opened in the round of 16 by blowing out Japan's Yasuhiro Suzuki, 25-11; in the quarterfinals, he was a 20-9 winner of Gabriel Maestre of Venezuela; in the semifinals, he beat Russia's Andrey Zamkovoy, 18-12; and in the gold medal match, it was pretty much one-way traffic, as he outclassed Great Britain's Freddie Evans, 17-9.
Kazakhstan has actually had a boxer win the Val Barker Trophy every other Olympics now since Atlanta in 1996, when Vassily Jirov took the award. In 2004, Bakhtiyar Artayev, a fellow welterweight, was the winner. Welterweights have won three of the last four awards, the other being Russia's Oleg Saitov in 2000. | 58sports

The Liverpool fan was on the pitch at half-time of his side's 1-1 draw with Norwich on Sunday at Anfield to get the support of the Kop for his big night.
But he also has Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney in his corner with the England captain watching him train last week.
Rooney showed how boxing keeps him down to earth as he chatted with everyone in Amir Khan's Bolton gym, where Smith trains with coach Joe Gallagher.
And the light-middleweight puncher will also prove he will not get too big for his boots as he promised to lace them up the day after his world title bid.
He said: "I will win this world title and I will 100 per cent be at football the next morning.
“I will win this world title and I will 100 per cent be at football the next morning”Liam Smith
"If I've got a cut I may not play but I will be there. Lumps and bruises I will play.
"All my friends know that. They know I will win a world title and play the next day."
Smith was still playing amateur football with local club Seymour until two weeks ago when he decided not to risk picking up a late injury ahead of his biggest night in the ring.
He said: "I get told off by team-mates who say 'what are you doing playing'. It is a bit silly but I just love it.
"When I'm world champion maybe I will take longer out. I usually only stop the week before my fight and then play the next morning."
Rooney has known the Smith brothers since he was a kid, in particular the older two Paul and Stephen.
But he has become friends with Liam in recent years and the WBO challenger is delighted to have the support of England's record goalscorer.
He said: "it is good to see a high-profile sports star getting behind me for my big fight. He comes in on a regular basis and gives us lads here some support.
"We've known him a long time and he is into his boxing so it is good of him to visit.
"He is a superstar in what he does, he just broke an unbelievable record with England and you maybe should be star struck but to us he is just down to earth lad.
"He doesn't go 'I've just done this in football, done this for England or I've got this much money'. He just talks about normal things." | 58sports

Announced on the PlayStation Blog and the game’s home page, the spiritual successor to I Am Setsuna will launch on January 23, 2018.
As for the new information, the PlayStation Blog post revealed a couple more characters that will be joining main character Kanata on his adventure to restore memories back to the world. The first up is Sherra, who is a priestess that utilizes a Bow and specializes in healing magic and ranged abilities.
The second character revealed is Obaro, an elderly man who was restored to existence when Kanata’s power were awakened. His strengths lie in his ability to use powerful elemental magic against few or many foes.

Published Web Locationhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2015.12.013
Evolution has transformed life through key innovations in information storage and replication, including RNA, DNA, multicellularity, and culture and language. We argue that the carbon-based biosphere has generated a cognitive system (humans) capable of creating technology that will result in a comparable evolutionary transition. Digital information has reached a similar magnitude to information in the biosphere. It increases exponentially, exhibits high-fidelity replication, evolves through differential fitness, is expressed through artificial intelligence (AI), and has facility for virtually limitless recombination. Like previous evolutionary transitions, the potential symbiosis between biological and digital information will reach a critical point where these codes could compete via natural selection. Alternatively, this fusion could create a higher-level superorganism employing a low-conflict division of labor in performing informational tasks. | 17electronic_science

Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones explains that it’s because the area has been blanketed by a stagnant air mass due to a stationary ridge of high pressure. There has been no major wind or rain to change the air. The high-pressure ridge is deflecting all storms.
It has been dissipating and breaking up sooner every night but the fog will likely be around until Sunday, when dryer winds are expected to blow into the area from the Interior.
Fog is moist air that is being cooled, causing condensation to occur.
“Fog is nothing more than a cloud on the ground,” said Jones.
When you have moist air near the ground, as the earth cools off in the evening, it radiates heat, causing condensation to occur. Cloud droplets form and you have fog or a cloud.
“This persistent fog is a little bit unusual, but it has happened before,” said Jones. “We have seen stretches of six, seven, eight, nine days in a row with fog at Vancouver airport. It’s definitely unusual but not unheard of.”
Fog first developed at YVR Vancouver International Airport just before midnight on Oct. 16, leading to the first foggy morning on Oct. 17.. | 52physics

(WTVR) – Richmond’s unemployment rate is higher than the state average, according to a new report. The Virginal Employment Commission has released April’s jobless numbers.
In the River City, about 5.4 percent of people reported they don’t have a job.
Across the state, the jobless average is about 5.2 percent. One year ago in April the unemployment average was 5.9 percent.
The city of Martinsville had the highest unemployment rate in the state at 15-percent.

Next year, developers will break ground in Austin on a new neighborhood made up of 100 3-D printed homes.
Lennar, the nation’s largest homebuilder, and Texas-based 3-D printing specialist ICON are the two companies behind the project. ICOn will use five 46-foot-wide 3-D printers to create the structures, will be made from a concrete mix called Lavacrete. The homes will be assemble don site using advanced robotic technology, with doors, windows and other details added by Lennar workers. The buildings will be solar powered.
It will take just a week to build one of these houses. ICON says it can create a home as large as 3,000 square feet using current technology.
The developers says 3-D will be faster and ess expensive to build since there is little construction waste and less manual labor required. They also claim the homes will be more durable and energy efficient.

In extending this moratorium, the president broke from his own stance in favor of offshore drilling, just two years after his Interior Department announced plans to allow new oil and gas drilling in all U.S. coastal waters.
Yet political observers weren’t surprised. With the November election quickly approaching, President Trump needs the 29 electoral college votes Florida provides. In order to win favor with Florida voters, opposing offshore drilling in Florida’s crystal-clear waters is a political no-brainer.
As true as that is today, it hasn’t always been the case.
In 1981, Florida PIRG (part of The Public Interest Network, which includes Environment America and Environment Florida) launched the Save Our Shores campaign to halt the proposed leasing of 93 million acres of water off the Gulf Coast and Florida Keys for oil and gas development. At first, it was a lonely battle. In 1984, Florida PIRG’s Ann Whitfield was the only citizen to testify at an Interior Department hearing on offshore drilling.
The Save Our Shores campaign sought to raise awareness of and opposition to the dangers of offshore drilling in Florida’s waters. Unfortunately, it’s easier to raise awareness in the wake of disaster. That’s exactly what happened in 1989, when the Exxon Valdez oil tanker struck a reef off the coast of Alaska, spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil in the biologically rich waters of Prince William Sound.
The staff and volunteers of Florida PIRG didn’t just watch in horror — we organized.
Florida PIRG hosted packed public meetings, where concerned citizens from Pensacola to the Florida Keys weighed in on the potentially disastrous environmental and economic impacts of offshore drilling.
In 1987, businesses in Key West, where coastal tourism is the bedrock of the local economy, draped their windows in black crepe and shut down for two hours as 2,000 residents attended a raucous Interior Department public hearing. Congress responded by passing a series of moratoriums on Florida drilling.
Then, in 1990, we celebrated two historic victories for Florida’s coast. That year, then-President Bush announced a 10-year ban on new leasing and drilling in federal waters off the Everglades and Florida Keys, and the Florida Legislature passed a permanent ban on drilling in all of Florida’s state waters.
In the years since, Environment America has worked to defend all of America’s coasts from drilling. Again, the oil industry made our job easier, but not in the way we wanted.
In 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform triggered the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The world watched for 87 days as 210 million gallons of crude oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico, killing thousands of marine animals, scarring coastlines, and exposing cleanup workers and residents to toxic chemicals.
With the public reawakened to the dangers of offshore drilling, we rallied coastal communities to urge President Obama to declare a moratorium on offshore drilling in most U.S. waters — an action he took by the end of his second term.
Offshore drilling remains deeply unpopular in coastal communities. In 2018, when then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced the Trump administration’s plans to open all our coastal waters to offshore drilling, Republican and Democratic governors alike voiced their opposition. Less than a week after the announcement, Secretary Zinke swiftly reversed course and exempted Florida’s waters from drilling at the request of Florida’s then-Gov. Rick Scott. That same year, Environment Florida and Progress Florida backed a state constitutional amendment on the ballot banning offshore drilling in state waters. It earned nearly 70 percent of the vote.
Today, it’s clear that supporting offshore drilling in Florida — and increasingly, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina — can sink a politician’s career. That wasn’t always the case and it didn’t change from one incident, announcement or even a single disaster. Canvassing, thousands — probably hundreds of thousands — of petition signatures, hundreds of lobby meetings, dozens of op-eds and letters to the editor, educational events and other actions made the difference. And they did so while transcending the partisan divide, garnering support from both sides of the aisle on an issue that affects everybody.
Because when oil spills, it doesn’t care whether it lands on the beaches of a red, blue or purple state. And the people of Florida — Democrats, Republicans and independents alike — have now made it clear to candidates for office that allowing oil to threaten our beaches is a deal-breaker. | 55public_administration
