Man down! Only Jose Mourinho remains alive as the FA's bullets whiz by overhead.
First it was Ramires, who was left with little choice other than to accept punishment for his stupid, petulant actions against tackle football aficionado Seb Larsson. Now, it's Rui Faria, though the assistant first team coach's absence from the stadium probably won't be felt as obviously as any player's or manager's.
"Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, Chelsea's Rui Faria has been given a six-match stadium ban with immediate effect, subject to any appeal, after he admitted two breaches of FA Rules.
The first breach was that Faria used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official during Chelsea's game against Sunderland on 19 April 2014.
The second breach was that his behaviour following the match referee's request that he leave the technical area amounted to improper conduct.
Faria, who requested a non-personal hearing, was also fined £30,000 and warned as to his future conduct."
So, let's see if we have this straight. If you, a repeat offender, headbutt a player - however weakly - you get a three-match stadium ban and a four-match touchline ban. If you yell at at the fourth official (Phil Dowd) and the incompetent match referee (Mike Dean), you get a six match stadium ban.
Just another fantastic decision by the FA then. Carry on.

This page lists three translations of monster names of Final Fantasy XI. The center-left column is the original Japanese translation, and the second is the Romaji. The center-right column is the English translations.
All monsters are named in English and this name is displayed to players regardless of which language version of the game they have installed. Note that therefore, the vast majority of the thousands of monsters in Final Fantasy XI do not have (or need) Japanese names! Such monsters do not belong in this section.
However, some Notorious Monsters do have official Japanese names, discernible from one or more of the following sources:
The title awarded for killing the monster. Example: (ファヴニル スレーヤー, Favuniru Surēyā?, lit. Fafnir Slayer)
Trophy items dropped by the monster, typically used for crafting, Magian trials, or to spawn additional NMs in a sequence. Example: (アペデマクの角, Apademaku no Tsuno?, lit. Apademak Horn)
Some other item related to the monster. Example: (玄武盾, Genbu Tate?, lit. Genbu Shield)
Official supplementary world books published by Square-Enix
Official Square-Enix promotional materials
A rare few normal monsters have official Japanese names as well, taken from any of the above sources (except titles, as normal monsters do not award titles upon their defeat).
In addition to individual names, monsters are divided into ecosystems (such as Beast, Plantoid, etc); these ecosystems are divided into individual families (for example, the Beast ecosystem has families such as Behemoth, Rabbit, Sheep, etc); and some of those families are further divided into subfamilies (such as Behemoth and Elasmoth). Most of these ecosystems, families, and subfamilies have official names, although subfamily names in particular are hard to track down. (For example, many of the NM subfamilies introduced in Abyssea, such as Wantonberry, are only named in a certain article in a certain Japanese magazine.)

CASA Annual Report 2004-05 - Part 5: Statutory Reporting Requirements
Part 5: Statutory Reporting Requirements
Significant judicial decisions and administrative review decisions
Under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders 2002, CASA must report, in accordance with subclause 11(a), on any judicial decisions and decisions of administrative tribunals that have had, or may have, a significant impact on its operations.
In the reporting period, there were two judicial decisions and judicial decisions of administrative tribunals that have had, or may have, a significant impact on CASA's operations.
Sydney Heliscenic Pty Ltd v CASA
Claim for breach of contract by CASA relating to undertakings ostensibly given by CASA in the course of regulatory action against the plaintiff.
The NSW District Court held that CASA had entered into a contract with the plaintiff in relation to the exercise of its safety regulatory powers, and awarded the plaintiff $200,000 in damages. The decision has significant ramifications for CASA, and potentially regulators and other statutory decision-makers in other fields.
In essence, it equates CASA's discussions with regulated entities regarding enforcement decisions with contract negotiations, and imposes a commercial overlay on what are essentially regulatory decisions made in the public interest. CASA believes the formation of a contract in such circumstances is contrary to established legal principles, and has appealed the decision to the NSW Supreme Court.
CASA v Boatman and Kennedy
A series of inter-related actions in the Federal Court and Full Federal Court arising from the first application of CASA's power to suspend a civil aviation authorisation for a serious and imminent risk to air safety under Division 3A of Part III of the Civil Aviation Act 1988.
The actions have clarified some aspects of the operation of Division 3A, although significantly the Federal Court is still to give reasons for its decision that the respondents had not engaged in conduct which constituted a serious and imminent risk to air safety.
CASA is awaiting the Court's reasons, and hopes that those reasons will provide some guidance on the meaning of "serious and imminent risk" in the legislation. Depending on those reasons, CASA may appeal against the Federal Court's decision.

Washington (ANI): Hollywood actress Miley Cyrus has revealed that she hopes to spend her holidays with friend Justin Gatson.
When asked will the 20-year-old underwear model will head 'Hannah Montana' actress' home, the beauty said: "I hope so, I love to spend the holidays with my friends," reports US weekly. "I think that we are really good friends, and we love hanging out and spending time together," Miley added.
However, Gaston stated that he has 'no idea' as to he'll be joining her or not. "I don't know where she'll be, but I hope she has a good time, I'll probably be around somewhere and hanging with the family," Gatson said.

'His body is part human yet he begins as a bull at the loins and he bears a hump of sinews upon his shoulders which carried thegreat horned skull and the cattle brute mask of his head. His belly however is human...' Michael Ayrton The Maze Maker (1967) p.168
Ayrton's Minotaur (1968/9, bronze) was presented to the City of London in 1973; initially situated in Postman's Park, it was also intended to be part of a turf maze, which never materialized. Following a fascination with the myths connecting King Minos, the Cretan labyrinth, Daedalus and Icarus, he had first turned his attention to the Minotaur in 1962, possibly as part of his love-hate relationship with Picasso's art (in 1944 Ayrton had penned a notorious essay on Picasso entitled 'The Master of Pastiche'). In his version of the myth he denied that Theseus slew the creature, whose destiny was ultimately to become human. His book The Maze Maker quoted above was read by a wealthy Czech-born American Armand Erpf who commissioned Ayrton to construct a labyrinth or maze on his estate at Arkville in the Catskill Mountains. At the heart of the labyrinth stood two bronze sculptures of Icarus and Daedalus and a bronze Minotaur - a cast of which was made, purchased by the Corporation of London in 1972 (total cost of sculpture and installation £9000). It remained in the park until 1997 when it was relocated to a raised walkway on the north side of London Wall (this area was being redeveloped in 2013). Written using Philip Ward-Jackson Public Sculpture of the City of London (Liverpool University Press, 2003) pp233-235. The image comes from Smoke.
ADDENDUM During Open House 2017 I had a very interesting tour around Salters Hall. At the end we exited into the garden where we were shown a box containing the Minotaur, which had been installed there and was awaiting unveiling.

text: We present a new method for determining absolute values of quantum yield of luminescent emitters, which is based on the modification of the radiative transition of emitters within a tunable metallic nanocavity. The method presented is easy to set up and works without any calibration. It will thus be useful for all applications where absolute and calibration-free measurements of luminescence quantum yields are needed. Moreover, it requires only a minute amount of low-concentration fluorophore solution. We give a detailed description of the theory and data evaluation of the nanocavity measurements, and report experimental results for several common dyes in aqueous solution.

ESPN’s professional interview coach John Sawatsky is on a mission to change the way journalists ask questions. He has become famous for his exclusive three-day interview class that all ESPN broadcasters and journalists must attend.
Sawatsky, a former investigative journalist in Canada, never imagined he would leave his career as a journalist to become a teacher.
“It was never part of any plan and was actually the furthest thing from my mind. Then, in 1982, I was invited to show journalism students at Carleton University in Ottawa how to conduct an actual investigation and lead them on a project,” Sawatsky said. “Interviewing was a big part of it. It proved to be an eye-opening experience for me, and very transformative as I slowly learned what kinds of questions produced the best results and later why it was so.”
When Sawatsky discovered the reasons why certain questions led to better answers, he was able to develop guidelines for interviewers to practice.
“Soon I started teaching my newfound principles outside the classroom. It just took off, and before long I was holding sessions with working journalists across Canada and eventually around the world,” he said.
When Sawatsky landed the gig at ESPN in July 2004, he recognized how influential his teachings would become.
“It’s not realistically possible to change the entire world, however, it’s possible to change one little corner of the world, and journalism interviewing is my little corner,” he said. “That focus was the deciding reason I chose to come on staff at ESPN, since this is a wonderful place for anybody wanting to make an impact.”
Sawatsky’s most recent Interview Workshop included ESPN’s new college sideline reporter Molly McGrath, reporter Britt McHenry, espnW writer and The Trifecta host Jane McManus and espnW journalist and ESPN Radio host Sarah Spain, among others.
The session was particularly helpful to Spain, who recently signed a new contract and will host a new national weeknight ESPN Radio show, Izzy and Spain, with Israel Gutierrez starting tonight at 9 p.m. ET. In the video above, Spain discussed how she would now use Sawatsky’s lessons on-air.
“Most courses teach broadcasting from an output perspective, and focus – in one form or other – on how to be good presenters, and how to be good at supplying information,” said Sawatsky. “The Interview Workshop flips the roles and looks at life from the receiving end, which is equally important, although less glamorous and less heralded.”
Although he’s taught his workshop for many years now, knowing he has made a difference in someone’s career never gets old.
“It’s an eye-opening course for just about everybody who takes it. Afterward, people commonly say things like ‘I’ll never look at an interview again the same way.’ It tells me I’ve made an impact.”

A Vibrant City
Palm Springs has it all
October 11, 2016
Hiking is a very popular outdoor activity in Palm Springs. Whether it is hiking through one of the many canyons formed by the San Jacinto mountains or a simple trail along the side of the mountain, there is a hiking trail for every skill level. Hiking in Palm Springs offers spectacular vistas, natural waterfalls and streams, and unique rock formations along the mountain and canyons. Now is the perfect time to enjoy the more temperate desert air and soak in the natural beauty of the Coachella Valley.
A favorite hiking trail for locals and visitors alike is the South Lykken Trail. Located in south Palm Springs, there are two trail-heads, the north trail-head is at the end of West Mesquite Road, and the south trail-head is on South Palm Canyon Road about 250 feet after Canyon Heights Road. The South Lykken Trail is about seven miles long with a 1,000 foot gain and takes approximately four hours to complete at a leisurely pace. The South Lykken Trail is an out & back trail which is easy at the start then inclines at 0.5 miles followed by switchbacks for the remainder of the trail. If you’d like to get some good exercise, the trail is runnable. The hiking and parking are free of cost.
The hike culminates at a rest area with picnic tables providing panoramic views of Palm Springs. You have an opportunity to see the Tahquitz Waterfalls when you look up the canyon if there is any water flowing. You’ll also see the windmill farms doing their job on the north side of Palm Springs. Hikers have observed big horn sheep while on the South Lykken Trail.
Here are a few pointers for anyone who is hiking in the Palm Springs area:
1. Always hike with a partner or group. Let others know when you expect to return.
2. You cannot bring too much water. Bring as much water as you can carry but at least one liter for each hour of hiking. When you reach the halfway point of your water, turn around & return to the trail-head.
3. Protection from the sun is essential. A hat, sunglasses, protective clothing and hiking boots are all essential as well as sunscreen.
4. Take a map of the trail and stay on it. We can print one out for you if you are staying at POSH Palm Springs Inn. Take note of your surroundings as you are hiking for the trip back.
5. You may encounter rattlesnakes while hiking. Be aware of where you place your hands and feet. Rattlesnakes are most active in warm weather.
The South Lykken Trail is just one of several great hiking adventures you’ll find in the Palm Springs area. Check out our other blog posts on the Coachella Valley Preserve, Majestic Canyons in Palm Springs, and the Best Oasis in Palm Springs for other great ways to spend your time outdoors in the Coachella Valley. Make POSH Palm Springs Inn your home base for all your adventures and enjoy some time in our hot tub soothing those sore muscles.

If you read this blog regularly (or any Royals-related blog, really) you know about the top prospects in the Royals organization. Names like Kyle Zimmer, Yordano Ventura, and Raul Mondesi, have been discussed quite a bit in this space, and rightfully so. They’re among the top 30 prospects in all of baseball, and their potential obviously merits recognition. However, an organizational farm system is made up of more than just its top three prospects, so I thought I’d cover a few of the players with perhaps a lower ceiling, but who could still make an impact in the big leagues at some point. In the next week or two, I’ll break down a few of these prospects to keep an eye on in 2014. I wrote about Christian Binford here, and today I’m moving on to another top 10-ish prospect in Orlando Calixte.
Calixte was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 for a seven-figure bonus, and as an 18 year old shortstop he had an OPS of .668 in his 80 plate appearance debut season. In 2011, Calixte had a terrible year at the plate, hitting just .208/.256/.263 in 317 plate appearances. Fortunately, he followed up that atrocious season with a much better 2012. Playing for Low-A Kane County and High-A Wilmington, Calixte had a .759 OPS with 14 home runs and 52 extra base hits. Scouts really liked his defense, and with his frame, there were no concerns that Calixte would have to be moved away from shortstop. Now, he was showing some solid potential with the bat, and people were starting to take notice. Baseball America ranked Calixte the 9th best prospect in the Royals’ system after the 2012 season.
Last season, however, some of that shine wore off.
Despite playing in a hitter-friendly environment for Northwest Arkansas, Calixte struggled in 2013, hitting .250/.312/.368. He did have 8 home runs and 14 stolen bases, but Calixte was also caught stealing 11 times and struck out 131 times in 123 games. If there was one positive to take from Calixte’s season, it was his walk rate, which was 7.8%. While that’s not great, it was better than any other season sans his short 2010 debut. Still, Calixte’s offensive performance left quite a bit to be desired.
Even with his disappointing season, Calixte is still getting some love. Fangraphs’ Marc Hulet ranked Calixte 10th in his Royals’ prospect rankings. Hulet notes that Calixte has the tools to develop into a plus defender at shortstop, and that he could see time at AAA this season if he bounces back at the plate.
Based on his track record, a bounce back could be expected. Calixte will likely be repeating a level, and he’s going to turn 22 years old next week. The last time he repeated a level (Low-A in 2012), he did very well, and now he’s going to be repeating a level with the hitter-friendly Arvest Park. A mid-season promotion certainly wouldn’t be out of the question for Calixte if things go well.
Beyond this season, Calixte could provide some competition for Alcides Escobar in the next year or so before Mondesi is ready to take over. If that happens, Calixte could easily slide to 2nd base and provide solid defense with a decent bat. Obviously there is a bit of projection there, but if Escobar’s bat doesn’t bounce back, Calixte could provide a cheap alternative when the Royals have to decide on the former’s more expensive team options. If nothing else, Calixte’s glove should provide some value as a backup infielder at the big league level.
In 2014, Calixte has quite a bit to prove. While his defense will be solid once again, he’ll need to rebound from a down year with the bat to keep his place among the Royals top 10 prospects.


The Trump administration has floated a supposed compromise on immigration, under which the “dreamers” would get legal status and a path to citizenship. In exchange, the administration would get a long list of draconian immigration restrictions, including money for a border wall and a series of limits on legal immigration. Even Republicans in Congress are balking, and Democrats have rejected it out of hand.
We don’t know where this is going to end up. But what we do know is that both parties will be keenly attuned to what their voters are thinking on this volatile topic. While the immigration issue has been driven in recent years by the Republican base and the GOP’s response to that base — including the election of a naked white nationalist as president — it’s actually Democratic voters who have undergone the more dramatic shift in the past few years.
The opinions of Americans overall do suggest the public is becoming more pro-immigration. In a recent Post/ABC News poll, 65 percent of people said immigrants “mainly strengthen American society,” a percentage about 10 points higher than two years ago. There’s also a near-consensus on dreamers, with polls regularly showing 80 percent or more saying they should be able to stay in the United States. Yet at the same time, we hear so much about the anti-immigrant attitudes of the Republican base and how those attitudes constrain what Republican politicians are allowed to support.
What’s going on? Republican voters may not be changing their views, but Democratic voters are.
Let me refer to some remarkable results from the Pew Research Center, which for over two decades has asked respondents whether “Immigrants today strengthen the country because of their hard work and talents” or “Immigrants today are a burden on our country because they take our jobs, housing, and health care.” Look what happened after 2010:
Before then, Democrats and Republicans weren’t much different on this basic question. In subsequent years, Republicans didn’t change much at all, but the opinions of Democrats as a group swung dramatically. In 2010, 48 percent of Democrats said immigrants strengthen our country; by 2017, it was 84 percent.
Other polls have found a similar shift. In that Post/ABC News poll, 80 percent of Democrats said immigrants mainly strengthen American society, up from 65 percent two years ago (for Republicans, the figure was 43 percent). Gallup polls have shown an increasing number of Democrats saying they want more immigrants allowed into the country. All this suggests increasing agreement among Democrats about immigration.
How do we explain the change? Here are just a few critical moments from the past few years of our political history:
- December 2010: The DREAM Act passes the House, then dies in the Senate, the victim of a Republican filibuster, despite the fact that it had 55 votes in favor.
- 2011-2012: Republican presidential primary candidates propose an immigration crackdown; Mitt Romney memorably says he supports “self-deportation,” i.e., making life so miserable for undocumented immigrants that they leave the country.
- June 2012: President Barack Obama announces the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, giving dreamers temporary reprieve from deportation and work permits.
- June 2015: Donald Trump announces his presidential bid by calling Mexicans rapists and criminals, then goes on to run a campaign centered on vilifying immigrants and proposing a border wall. It turns out this is just what the Republican base is looking for.
These events changed the discussion about immigration in ways that could have a particular impact on Democratic voters. First and most important, DACA has put much of the focus on the most sympathetic undocumented immigrants, young people who grew up in the United States and have done everything right. Second, there is likely some powerful negative partisanship at work. When Democrats see Republican politicians pandering relentlessly to the most anti-immigrant portion of the GOP base, it encourages them to take the opposite position.
There’s likely another element involved, too: the group of people who call themselves Democrats isn’t the same today as it was a decade ago. The party is steadily getting more racially diverse, more educated and more urban. So while individual Democrats may be changing their minds on immigration, who’s a Democrat has changed as well, and when new generations of Democrats replace those who die off, the party may grow more liberal on this issue (and many others as well).
This change doesn’t mean that a compromise on immigration is impossible. The truth is that while there’s a small portion of the electorate that is implacably anti-immigrant, even many Republicans who favor things such as a border wall have complicated, ambivalent feelings about the subject. You wouldn’t get the enormous numbers in favor of allowing dreamers to stay if they didn’t. But if Democratic politicians realize how unified their base is on this issue, it may change how they negotiate, what they propose and how far they’re willing to go.

Each day through August 4, Jeff Commings will take you back 30 years to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, highlighting one of that day’s swimming events that continues to be a benchmark for the current culture of the sport. A full list of medalists from that day’s competition follows at the end of the article.
Feature by Jeff Commings
PHOENIX, Arizona, July 31. WHICH of the medalists in the men’s 100 freestyle married fellow Olympic medalist Tracy Caulkins?
— Rowdy Gaines
— Mark Stockwell
— Per Johansson
Continue reading for the answer…
Every 100 freestyler knows that a fast start is necessary for the chance to beat your opponents, and Rowdy Gaines knew that well before he stepped on the blocks thirty years ago today for the 100 freestyle final at the 1984 Olympics.
Blasting off the blocks and leaving his rivals behind, Gaines led from the start to take the first of his three gold medals at the meet with a 49.80. Though the time was half a second slower than his world record, the win symbolized redemption for Gaines, who had been tapped for multiple gold at the boycotted 1980 Games.
What turned out to be Gaines’ launchpad to current stardom as NBC’s color commentator for the network’s top swimming events briefly was enveloped in controversy, as several swimmers in the heat believed Gaines’ start was so fast that it should have been called a false start. Mark Stockwell, the Australian many believed had a chance at gold, was one of the people publicly calling out the officials for their failure to judge the race accurately.
But no disqualification was called, and Gaines became the ninth American to win the event since the debut in 1896. It was part of a perfect day for Team USA as they won all five swimming events that day. Stockwell can take some happier memories from the meet, as he married fellow Olympic medalist Tracy Caulkins in 1991 after the two first met in the warm-down pool at the 1984 Games.
Here’s how Swimming World Magazine reported on the 100 free final and its aftermath in the September 1984 issue:
What looked like the end of a great American comeback story was tarnished, however, by a controversial start that left a bad taste in the mouths of many of the other competitors, particularly Australian Mark Stockwell, who won the silver, and American Mike Heath, who finished fourth.
After congratulating Gaines on his win, Heath, who was caught off balance on the start and was the last swimmer off the blocks, struck at the water with his fist and angrily left the pool. He reportedly said he could have gotten a better start at a novice meet.
The Australians filed a formal protest. … The complaint was that the start was too quick. The Australians said official Francisco Silvestri of Panama fired the starting gun before all the swimmers were set. Similar complaints had been made about Silverstri at both the 1982 World Championships and the 1983 Pan American Games. FINA officials dismissed the protest.
U.S. coach Don Gambril was also upset, filing a protest against Silvestri, but not the race itself. But no one was willing to question Gaines’ victory, even indirectly.
“I don’t want to take anything away from Rowdy,” said Stockwell in an interview for the medal winners. “I mean, he’s great. He’s been around for a long time and he knows what to look out for. It just wasn’t a fair start.”
Gaines was first off the blocks. He used that lead to his advantage, holding it through the entire race to beat Stockwell, 49.80 to 50.24, and set an Olympic record. Gaines swam a 50.41 during prelims to qualify for the finals.
It was the case of four years of work coming down to less than a minute’s worth of swimming. The 100 freestyle gold Gaines felt was a sure thing in 1980, before the U.S. boycott, was a struggle and a frightening uncertainty this time. “I was scared,” he said. “I was just like this (showing a trembling hand) on the blocks.”
That emotional intensity unleashed itself with the final touch and a look at the scoreboard. Gaines exploded out of the water, his fist raised to the crowd sharing his victory. He cried. He pranced from one person to another in the post-event area, jumping in the air in excitement, hugging and kissing everyone in sight. “I’m 25 years old,” he said, through sobs that left him practically voiceless, “and I’m acting like a 10-year-old.”
100 free race footage, courtesy westnyacktwins:
The name Rowdy Gaines is still synonymous with that Olympic race, even today as his voice is heard commentating on some of the most historic swimming races of the 20th – and 21st – century. Gaines took time out of his busy schedule to walk down memory lane and relive his momentous swim.
Swimming World: As one of many who stuck around after the 1980 Olympic boycott, how much did the desire to win Olympic gold guide your life between 1980 and 1984?
Rowdy Gaines: The gold medal was not on my mind as much as having the experience of being an Olympian, a true Olympian, to march in an Opening Ceremonies, to stay in an Olympic village, to swim in front of the world and compete against the best. I definitely wanted to win, but there was a lot more to it than just a medal … of any color.
SW: You qualified individually in the 100 free after placing seventh in the 200 free at the Olympic Trials. Was it a relief to know that all of your races at the Olympics would only be 100 meters?
Gaines: Not at first. It was heartbreaking because I had the world record in the 200 for four years and loved that event, but in hindsight it was huge blessing because I think if I would have swum both I might not have won the 100 and with Michael Gross (setting a world record) I know I wouldn’t have won the 200. Concentrating on just the 100 was a huge plus.
SW: Why was there so much controversy surrounding your start in the 100 free final at the Olympics?
Gaines: Do you have about an hour? It was very complicated. Basically, the starter was notorious for sending the swimmers off quickly and my coach Richard Quick saw this happening the first two days of the competition and changed the way I came down on the command … the day before my event! I was ready and the others simply weren’t. The video proves I did not false start but a lot of swimmers got left on the block because they didn’t know about that specific starter.
SW: What’s your take on that controversy today?
Gaines: What controversy? Seriously, I have the video from 16 Days of Glory, the official film of the 1984 Olympics by Bud Greenspan that shows my start in slow motion and in detail and proves I did not false start. I was the only swimmer in those Games to do a track start and I felt that really helped me come down quickly and be ready.
SW: Did winning three gold medals in 1984 take any of the sting off not being able to compete at the 1980 Olympics?
Gaines: For me 1984 will always be glorious because I had my “day in the sun” but for 363 other athletes that did not make it in 1976 or 1984, and 1980 was their only team, they are the true heroes that I will always look up to and feel for because they were robbed of an incredible experience that I will treasure forever.
SW: You gave your Olympic medals to your coach and your parents. Why did you do that?
Gaines: I simply couldn’t have done it without their love and support. We did it together. My parents gave me that undying support but never interfered with my preparation, and my coach Richard Quick prepared me perfectly for that exact moment. To be honest, I was probably only the fourth- or fifth-best swimmer that day of the 100 free but because of that incredible teamwork that was behind me I came out on top. Heck, if I would have won 40 golds I would have given one to each of my teammates because they were just as instrumental in that victory that specific day.
SW: Of the 27 times the 100 free has been swum at the Olympics, the United States has won 14 of them. How does it feel to be a part of that tradition?
Gaines: Unbelievable. Just to be mentioned in the same sentence with names like Weissmuller, Schollander, Spitz, Biondi and now Nathan Adrian is such an honor and we have this incredible bond knowing it is the best event in swimming! I’m a little biased I guess.
SW: Which memory from the 1984 Olympic Games stands out the most for you today?
Gaines: Making that initial march out into the stadium at the Opening Ceremonies is something that I will never forget. One hundred thousand people stood and cheered as the U.S. team walked in, and singing the National Anthem THREE TIMES was pretty mind blowing as well!

HMPS are primarily know for End of Line automation for the food and beverage industry, but our skill set reaches far wider. We have completed several industrial focused projects over the past few years with this project fitting that category.
We have just completed the installation of this project with a local South Australian business, Intercast & Forge. Intercast, a privately owned SA company is Australia’s largest iron foundry. They have been setting the benchmark for over 70 years and are currently exporting to more than 60 countries around the world.
The cell automates various finishing processes of cast iron parts. The cell had to have the flexibility to run a multitude of part shapes and sizes allowing for future scalability. Parts are manually fed into the system where a vision camera is used to detect the parts. To handle the part manipulation a foundry spec’d ABB IRB 6700 6 axis robot was selected. The robot transfers parts to the grinder, accurately locating the part in the grinder fixture. The robot then removes finished parts from the grinder, placing them on a conveyor to feed out of the cell. The system will detect a part which is incorrectly orientated on the in-feed conveyor, placing it at a waiting station for re-introduction into the system. A toolless, quick release mechanism on the robot allows for quick and easy gripper change over for future parts.

We have such a wait ahead of us that it's been hard to get worked up looking forward to The Walking Dead Season 7. Now, Norman Reedus has dropped a tease about what's ahead, and it's pretty exciting.
The Walking Dead continues to develop the outside world around the core survivors, and the show is looking to cast a particular non-adult for Season 7. Gotta be better than Sam and Ron, right?
The Walking Dead has a pretty big ensemble cast for a show set in the zombie apocalypse, so it's always best to be ready for characters to die at any time. Series creator Robert Kirkman has now revealed a list of who is going to die at some point.
AMC's Fear the Walking Dead has involved a lot of violence for the actors as their characters try to survive the zombie apocalypse. Now, one actor has taken some of the violence with him off-set. Don't worry - nobody was stabbed in the head.
Season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead started off somewhat slowly, but the past few weeks have been intense, and the midseason finale changed everything. But did that big death actually happen?
AMC wants to copy the success of The Walking Dead with the upcoming adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher, and it's definitely good enough for that to happen.
The Walking Dead only ended Season 6 last month, so it'll be a while before we get to see Season 7. The show is already working to cast new characters for next season, however, and one may turn out to be big.
As the co-creator of the comic book The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman has become one of the most recognizable names and faces in the medium, and AMC is giving him another comic book series.
The Walking Dead has amassed a huge fanbase over the years, and some of those fans happen to be very famous. One celebrity who has been dying to appear on the show hasn't yet succeeded, but he's still trying.
If you watch The Walking Dead and have working vocal cords, then you have definitely talked about the Season 6 finale and the deadly cliffhanger. Here's how AMC is trying to keep the big reveal a secret.
A new poster for Ride With Norman Reedus has just been released, and it completely captures the spirit of the actor, as well as the character he has become iconic for on The Walking Dead.
Back when Game of Thrones first premiered, no one was extremely worried about the show eclipsing George R.R. Martin's books, but it's happening. Will The Walking Dead face the same problems?
The Walking Dead's finale cliffhanger has had fans debating, theorizing, and raging ever since it first hit the airwaves. Creator Robert Kirkman has some feelings of his own, but they might not jive with how many viewers reacted to the final minutes of Season 6.
With Preacher set to premiere at the end of this month, we’ve already seen footage and know quite a bit about the series, including a sideplot in the pilot revolving around Tom Cruise. Apparently, the man's camp wasn't really excited the joke.

Befriending the Darkness
“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
— Robert Frost
I have nightlights in most of the outlets in my home.
My favorite is a tiny bulb shrouded by a large scallop shell, which casts a comforting, pink glow in my bathroom. Weeks before Daylight Savings begins in November, you’ll find me scurrying around my house, setting out rechargeable candles on nearly every surface and checking batteries. During the dark months of winter, nothing brings me more contentment than seeing displays of luminous holiday lights, twinkling in the frigid evening wind.
For as long as I can remember, I have had an aversion to darkness. Yes, nearly all children at one time or another have a fear of the dark, imagining monsters under their beds, but it rarely continues into adulthood. I still to this day see the shadows in my bedroom as foes and adversaries, at the ready to reach out and jolt me out of a peaceful slumber.
There have been a few instances in my life in which I made friends with the darkness, though they have been few and far between. When I was 12, I became enamored with astronomy. Although I was afraid, I spent many a night alone with my telescope, drawing constellations in my little notebook and waiting with bated breath to catch a glimpse of a shooting star. The piercings of light in the night sky brought me comfort, even when I’d hear strange sounds, like the haunting, lonely howl of a coyote off in the distance.
My general ill will toward the darkness has only become amplified in recent years. Each winter, I struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder, a depression brought on by a lack of sunlight. Tear-filled nights can leave me cursing the darkness, wishing and hoping for brighter days. Sometimes, I feel like a tiny plant that needs to be nourished by sunlight and goes dormant in the dark.
But then, something magical happened recently. Much like the evenings spent with my telescope, I befriended the darkness once again during a candlelight hike in a deep, dim forest.
It sounded magical. I looked at pictures of other candlelight hikes, and I saw forests bathed in candlelight, fully illuminating the path. But just in case, I wore my sturdiest pair of boots, anticipating roots and rocks hiding in the darkness, waiting for me to trip and fall.
My husband and I arrived at the trailhead at a nearby state park. I squinted to make out the candles flickering in the distance. The woods looked dark. Incredibly dark. Nothing like the pictures I had seen. Save a few flames I could see here and there, I felt as if I wasn’t walking into the woods, but into the mouth of a pitch black cave instead. Tiny candles appeared only every 20 feet or so. The fear kicked in.
Although there were others hiking the trail alongside us, I wasn’t comforted, and my thoughts began to race. What if there are wild animals out here? What if I trip and break my ankle? What if? What if? What if?
My breath became short. My palms started to sweat. The old childhood fears crept in. Yes, my husband was with me, but what protection could he offer against the enemies lurking in the darkness?
And then there was this shooting star. It streaked across the sky and lit up the entire forest with its light. And I felt 12 again. Not as the child or even adult who had to sleep with a nightlight, but like the child who used to gaze in wonder at the night sky, humbled by its magic.
The version of myself who embraced the enchantment of darkness. Stars. Owls. Nothing but the sounds of footsteps and wind.
As I continued into the forest, I looked at the silhouettes of the bare trees, struck against a sky dotted with points of light. At that moment, I didn’t miss the sun. I welcomed the star-strewn sky and all of its dark splendor into my heart.
I felt at peace in the woods, lovely, dark, and deep.

Invitrogen to Acquire Bio Asia for $8M To Expand Company’s China Presence
Invitrogen announced Wednesday that it will acquire Bio Asia, a Chinese reagent supplier, for up to $8 million in cash, and plans to invest more than $20 million in China over the next five years, the company said.
Bio Asia, which is based in Shanghai and has branches in Beijing and Guangzhou, as well as 18 sales offices across China, provides sequencing reagents and custom R&D services. The company, which was founded in 1999, has approximately $5 million in revenues.
The acquisition, which was approved by both companies’ boards of directors, is pending approval from the Chinese government. It coincides with new guidelines from the World Trade Organization that will open the Chinese biotech industry to foreign-owned companies, according to Invitrogen.
This is not Invitrogen’s first foray into China: In 1989, the company established its first office in the country. Following the Bio Asia acquisition, Invitrogen China will have more than 170 employees.
“Building on our new manufacturing and distribution base, Invitrogen intends to be a leading biotechnology provider to researchers in China,” said Jeff Greenberg, Invitrogen’s general manager for Asia Pacific, in a company statement.
Bio Asia is the ninth purchase Invitrogen has made in the last two years.
Applied Biosystems Introduces Whole-Rat-Genome Microarray
Applied Biosystems on Wednesday announced the commercial availability of the Rat Genome Survey Microarray for use with its proprietary Expression Array System. The product is based on content from public sources and from sister-company Celera’s database.
Additionally, the company introduced AmpFLSTR Yfiler, a PCR amplification kit, for the specific detection of male DNA. The product introduction includes the availability of a haplotype database containing over 3,000 population samples typed using the Yfiler kit.
Johns Hopkins, U of Delaware, Los Alamos to Create Computational Biology Institute with $2.7M DOE Grant
Johns Hopkins University, the University of Delaware, and Los Alamos National Laboratory have won a three-year, $2.7 million grant from the US Department of Energy to establish a computational biology research institute, according to a report in a Johns Hopkins newspaper.
The Institute for Multi-Scale Modeling of Biological Interactions will study biological systems at several levels, ranging from protein interactions to the behavior of complex networks. It will include faculty and researchers from all three participating institutions, covering biophysics, chemistry, physiology, chemical and biomolecular engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical and computer engineering.
The new institute builds on a program in computational biology established at Johns Hopkins in 1999. Besides research, the DOE grant will support a PhD program.
Iceland to Join EMBL in 2005
Iceland will join the European Molecular Biology Laboratory as its 18th member state on Jan. 1, 2005, EMBL said this week.
At EMBL, Iceland will be represented by Eirikur Steingrimsson, a professor of medicine at the University of Iceland. The country will participate in all EMBL activities, which include research institutes, PhD programs, and research services.
EMBL currently has 1,300 staff members at its sites in Grenoble, France; Hamburg and Heidelberg, Germany; Hinxton, UK; and Monterotondi, Italy. Members include most Western European countries and Israel.
University of Miami Gets $5M Grant To Create Genetic Diagnostics Laboratory
The University of Miami School of Medicine will create a “comprehensive” medical genetics diagnostic laboratory with a $5 million grant from the Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation, the university said last week in a statement.
The Miami GeneCure Diagnostics laboratory will consist of a molecular genetics lab that will perform genetic diagnostic testing for human disease susceptibility, and a cytogenetics lab that will focus on chromosomal abnormalities, said UM. GeneCure also includes a biochemical genetic lab focused on “diagnosing and following” inborn errors of metabolism, the university said.
The new lab will be comprise UM’s Department of Pediatrics’ Molecular and Biomedical Genetics Laboratories and its cytogenics laboratory.
US Gov’t Sets New Rules for SBIR Funding; Public Comment Period Open
The Federal Register published last week a final ruling regarding small business requirements for SBIR funding.
According to the Small Business Administration, an SBIR grant recipient must be a for-profit business that is at least 51-percent owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens in, the United States.
Alternatively, the grant recipient can be majority owned and controlled by a for-profit concern that is at least 51-percent owned and controlled by an individual or individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens in, the United States.
The ruling also “permits subsidiaries to be eligible for SBIR awards under certain conditions.”
In its ruling, which was published in the Federal Register on Dec. 3, SBA noted that this rule does not change the size standard required to receive SBIR funding. Currently, a company or its affiliates must employ no more than 500 people.
The SBA said that because it has received a large number of comments concerning ownership of SBIR Program participants by venture capital firms, SBA said it plans to issue an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments from the public this issue.
The SBA is also currently seeking comments from the public on several issues that were raised during the public comment period of the administration’s recently withdrawn proposal to restructure its small business size standards. Specifically, the SBA is seeking comments on whether it should provide an exclusion from affiliation with venture capital companies in determining small business eligibility for the SBIR program, the NIH said.
All comments must be received by Feb. 1, 2005.
Axigenic, University of Sydney Win $116K Australian Grant to Develop Microarrays
Axogenic and the University of Sydney will use a AUS$150,000 ($116,000) Australian Research Council industry-linkage grant to examine new technologies for the interactive visualization of microarray data
According to Axogenic, the technologies, when developed, will be integrated into the company’s product line to help speed genetic and proteomic research.
Research will be conducted at the National Information and Communication Technology Australia facilities under a research program led by Peter Eades, head of the School of Information Technologies at the University of Sydney, Axogenic said.
Japanese Drug Maker to Acquire Proteomics Shop ActivX for $21M
Kyorin Pharmaceutical of Tokyo will buy proteomics company ActivX Biosciences for $21 million, the company said last week.
Kyorin will create a US subsidiary and merge it with ActivX, which will then become a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyorin. An acquisition date was not disclosed.
Kyroin and ActivX, of La Jolla, Calif., have collaborated since 2002 in a Type II diabetes discovery program, and in January expanded their activities to include metabolic disorders. ActivX also has collaborations with Pfizer, Gilead, and an undisclosed additional pharma partner.
ActivX uses a core proteomics technology, licensed from Scripps, that consists of fluorescent chemical affinity probes that bind to the active sites of a specific class of proteins.
Separation Scientific to Sell, Support PerkinElmer Products in Southern Africa
South Africa-based Separation Scientific will provide sales and support for PerkinElmer customers in 10 South African countries as part of an agreement signed by the companies, PerkinElmer said last week.

How will the EU clear its €25 billion regional funding bill? It’s not so clear, says MEP
The European Commission has a giant backlog of unpaid invoices worth €25 billion in its regional funding programme. There is an ambitious plan to tackle it over two years but Dutch member of the European Parliament Lambert van Nistelrooij is a little sceptical about whether it can work.

This booklet presents a micro-historical research of the emergence and modern dynamics of modern ethnic sub-nationalist insurgencies in South Asia. utilizing comparative case experiences, it discusses the factors of every insurgency, analyses the trajectory and dynamics of every together with makes an attempt at answer, and highlights the broader theories of ethno-nationalist insurgency and mobilization.
Bringing jointly a global team of individuals, the booklet covers insurgencies in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It questions why ethnic sub-nationalist insurgencies happened at specific time cut-off dates and never at others, and explores the comparative trajectories of those routine. The e-book is going directly to figure reappearing styles of clash escalation/de-escalation in the course of the approach to comparative process-tracing. It argues that whereas identification is an important issue for insurgency, it isn't a adequate one. as a substitute, ethnic mobilization and insurgency basically emerge while it really is activated by way of pressure rising from political pageant among ethnic and vital nation elites. those elite-led dynamics, while mixed with beneficial socio-economic and political stipulations, make the ethnic plenty primed to simply accept the customarily symbolically-rich appeals from their leaders to mobilize opposed to the valuable kingdom.
Providing an incredible examine on ethno-nationalist insurgencies in South Asia, the e-book might be of curiosity to these operating within the fields of South Asian Politics, safety experiences and Ethnic Conflict.

Sharma earlier decades. Nor do the socioeconomic conditions of the state stand out when compared with the conditions in other parts of India. 10 The changing face of the Kashmiri insurgency Since its inception in 1989, the character and composition of the Kashmiri insurgency have changed considerably. For insurgents, the leaders who were at the forefront of the secessionist struggle in 1989 were replaced by new actors with a very different agenda. For the Indian state, there was a single decisive shift in the direction of the counterinsurgency strategies pursued through many newer administrations voted into office during these years.
The religious separatism, which was now at the core of the struggle, further alienated the possibility of reconciliation with the Indian state. Second, with all the Islamic insurgent groups favouring the merger of Kashmir with Pakistan, the focus shifted from Kashmir’s internal issues to the perennial India–Pakistan dispute. Finally, JKLF ’s retirement from violent conflict allowed the local moderates to reclaim the cause of secular ethnic nationalism when they re-emerged on the political scene in 2002.

Sodium oxybate reduces pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance and improves functionality in fibromyalgia: results from a 14-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Author(s): Russell IJ, Holman AJ, Swick TJ, Alvarez-Horine S, Wang YG, Guinta D
Affiliation(s): Department of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, TX, USA. firstname.lastname@example.org
Publication date & source: 2011-05, Pain., 152(5):1007-17. Epub 2011 Mar 11.
Publication type: Clinical Trial; Randomized Controlled Trial; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't
This 14-week, phase 3, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial evaluated sodium oxybate (SXB) 4.5 and 6g per night versus placebo in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). SXB is the sodium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). GHB is an endogenous compound, synthesized from gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and found broadly in the central nervous system and body. Among 548 randomized patients, a >/=30% reduction in pain was experienced by 54.2% and 58.5% of patients treated with SXB 4.5 and 6g, respectively, versus 35.2% for placebo with a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (P<0.001 for both comparisons). Relative to placebo, both SXB doses significantly reduced fatigue (with a 100-mm VAS; P<0.001) and sleep disturbance (with the Jenkins Sleep Scale; P<0.001), and resulted in significant improvements in function as measured by the FM Impact Questionnaire (P=0.003 and P=0.001 for 4.5 and 6 g per night, respectively). On the Short-Form 36 Health Survey, SXB-related improvement was significant on the Physical, but not the Mental, Component Scale. The proportion of patients who reported a global improvement of "much" or "very much" better on the Patient Global Impression of Change was significantly greater in both SXB groups versus placebo (P<0.001). Headache, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, and sinusitis were the most commonly reported adverse events, with an incidence at least twice that of placebo. These results expand the evidence from previous clinical trials suggesting that SXB is effective and safe in FM. Copyright (c) 2010 International Association for the Study of Pain.
