The art of Joe Overstreet: Why is it important?
The painter Joe Overstreet will be 80 in June. A significant figure in the American art of the last half-century, he first made his mark in the 1960s with works such as Strange Fruit and The New Jemima, which reflected his commitment to the Civil Rights and Black Arts movements of the period. Since then he has continued to develop a highly personal approach to abstraction, one that allows him to include the occasional figurative elements that set his work in specific historical contexts.
Overstreet is of part African American and part Native American extraction and, while he acknowledges a host of influences from Impressionism to Islamic architecture, his work draws most extensively on his own dual cultural heritage. In his "nomadic art" of the 1970s and '80s, for example, he abandoned the stretcher and used ropes and dowels to hang canvases that evoke images of teepees and sails; his 1988 Storyville paintings explore the origins of jazz in New Orleans; his 1993 series, Facing the Door of No Return, inspired by a visit to Africa, addresses the Atlantic slave trade and its ongoing repercussions.
When I interviewed Joe Overstreet in his New York studio, he told me he sees his art as an expression of feeling, a process of "emotional recall" in which he tries to achieve what he calls "the duality of pain and beauty". By this he means that the pain evoked by past histories can be reconciled and resolved in the beauty of the act of painting. As he enters his ninth decade, it is this belief that continues to power his richly syncretic abstract art, with its sumptuous colours, its dynamic forms and its spirit of hard-won optimism.

Meet Maryland linebacker commitment Jalen Brooks
By By Matt Bracken
(Rivals.com)
Feb. 6 will feature a dual celebration for Jalen Brooks. The North Gwinnett (Ga.) linebacker will turn 18 that day and sign his letter of intent to play football at Maryland.
"It'll definitely be pretty emotional," Brooks said. "My mom will probably be crying. I don't know if I'll cry, but I'll be happy. It'll probably feel pretty incredible – probably a day I'll never forget."
Playing football for a Football Bowl Subdivision program – and participating in Signing Day – wasn't always a foregone conclusion for Brooks. Several Ivy League schools pursued the senior, who considered Yale, Harvard and Princeton. But Brooks ultimately decided that Maryland offered him an acceptable balance of football and academics.
"It's not so isolated on the education part, and it's not just focused on football," he said. "It's the best of both worlds. … I just know that Maryland has a great reputation of being a top college, especially its business school. The ACC is already a top conference, and moving to the Big Ten is an even higher level. All the money is going to come in and feed the academic programs and research. That was pretty big."
An all-region player, Brooks helped North Gwinnett to an 11-2 record and the third round of the Georgia AAAAAA playoffs. The future Terp spent his senior year transitioning from strong safety to strongside linebacker.
"I think it helps just because I can play the open field and fill in the gaps," Brooks said. "It was a lot easier than I thought, making that transition from safety to linebacker. I liked it better than playing strong safety."
Here's an introduction to Brooks:
Name: Jalen Brooks
Birthdate: Feb. 6, 1995
Birthplace: Cleveland
Hometown: Atlanta
Nickname: J-Breezy
Position: Linebacker
Senior statistics: 93 tackles, 67 solo, 15 tackles for loss, five sacks, one pass batted down, three interceptions, 16 quarterback hurries, one forced fumble, one blocked kick, two touchdowns on INT
Rankings: Rivals.com -- Three-star prospect. Scout.com -- Two-star prospect, No. 132 outside linebacker. ESPN.com -- Three-star prospect, No. 85 outside linebacker, No. 96 player in Georgia, 76 rating. 247Sports.com -- Three-star prospect, No. 133 outside linebacker, No. 129 player in Georgia, 80 rating.
Bench max: 280
40-yard dash: 4.65
Runner-up school: Yale

Favorite TV show: Workaholics
Favorite food: Crab
Favorite high school class: Math
Other high school sports: Wrestling, Track (freshman and sophomore year)
Hobbies: Movies and video games
Intended major: Marketing
Something that not many people know about you: "My obsession with movies. I just know a lot of knowledge [about movies]. I'll just read and read and read. I want to go into the field of producing movies."
Best football moment: "Getting an interception against Colquitt County in the Georgia Dome on the first play of my senior season."
Role model: "My dad because he's my best friend. I train and work out with him a lot. He's just always been there for me. He's my No. 1 fan."
Why Maryland? "I just had a great feel for the academics and the sports. I feel like I could make an impact there."

Q: Checking unbiased parameter I'm doing linear regression with R right now and I was wondering if there's a R function to test  whether a parameter is unbiased or biased.
summary(regression model)
anova(regression model)

These two functions do not seem to indicate anything about whether a parameter is unbiased. I would appreciate any kinds of advice. Thank you.

great tires, got 60K plus.
Don't waste your time or money! 65,000 mile warranty?! I got 33,000 miles out of my set and it's time for new tires again! Very disappointed in Yokohama tires! My first set had a 90,000 mile warranty and I got 42,000 miles out of that set which was the old Avid TRZ!!! I will NEVER buy Yokohama tires again in my lifetime!
For their purpose - high mileage, long wear - they perform great. They are wearing very well. I've had them in dry and wet and sub-freezing (no snow yet) and they've exceeded my expectations. I don't expect ultra performance, but they delivered better dry, wet and cold traction than any other high mileage tire I've tried.
Bought a set for my old minivan that I drive to work and back. Best riding tire I've ever owned and not a minutes trouble out of them.
These tires only made it about 35,000 miles for me. I'm sure a factor was my chronic alignment issue and the infrequency with which I rotate my tires, but I've never seen tires wear this quickly! Certainly will resolve to rotate more often, but I won't buy this specific tire again.
Awesome tires! They ride great! Am definitely considering purchasing this same brand/style for my other vehicles!
I would buy this brand tire. It lasted me some months. I still have one of those Yokohama tires on my car. It's amazing, I love it!!!!!!!
With rotating at proper times, these tires have lasted for more than 70,000 miles. The ride is quiet and smooth. Looking to buy my second set.
These tires are rated at 65k miles and well, even with rotating every 5,000 miles, they have not held out like I thought. Only got about 52k miles from these tires. Not what I expected out of them.
These wear quite evenly. The total mileage out of the tires was about the same as the warranty. Drove through two heavy snow storms without any problem at 40-50 mph. Would definitely buy again if the price is right.

Texas Art Spaces Among Those Scrutinized By U.S. Senate Committee
by Glasstire June 2, 2016
Witch hunt or public service?
Via the Art Newspaper: Last November, the US Senate Finance Committee chaired by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) sent letters to 11 private-collector museums across the country regarding the committee's "scrutinising private museums to discover whether they benefit their wealthy founders more than the general public." The committee questioned these spaces' open hours, attendance records, and "and the role of the founders in day-to-day operations." The gist is that the committee was looking into whether the private museums deserve their tax-exempt status. On May 17 the committee sent its findings to the Art Newspaper.
Two Texas spaces are among the 11 that received the November inquiry letter: SPACE, the Linda Pace Foundation Gallery in San Antonio, and the Goss-Michael Foundation in Dallas.
The key committee findings:
"• Four of the museums report fewer than 6,000 annual visitors
• Nine do not charge an admission fee
• Ten have active loan programmes
• None reports loans of donated art back to the founders."
Collectors transferring their assets to private foundations will likely continue to undergo scrutiny. "Experts say that the IRS is likely to review the tax returns of private museums more closely moving forward and may even choose to audit a few of them."
And here are the 11 spaces that received the original inquiry:
• Brant Foundation Art Study Center (Greenwich, Connecticut)
• The Broad (Los Angeles, California)
• El Segundo Museum of Art (El Segundo, California)
• Fisher Landau Center for Art (Queens, New York)
• Glenstone (Potomac, Maryland)
• Goss-Michael Foundation (Dallas, Texas)
• Hall Art Foundation (Reading, Vermont)
• Kreeger Museum (Washington, DC)
• Linda Pace Foundation (San Antonio, Texas)
• Pier 24 (San Francisco, California)
• Rubell Family Collection (Miami, Florida)

Tandoor is the first thing that comes to mind when people talk about Naan. No it is not 'Naan bread'. It is Naan, a kind of flat bread. The yeasted, doughy, soft, earthy bread that is so good to scoop up curries with.
Yes, traditionally they are made in Tandoor, but there is no reason why the common people like me can not make them in a simple oven. I agree, for years when I did not own a proper oven I made these on a regular gas stovetop. The stovetop Naan is good, but it does not have the wow factor in taste or appearance as the one made in Tandoor does. The oven baked one, however comes quite close.
Making naan does not start much differently than other breads – flour, water, yeast start the process. Then there are additions like yogurt and milk to give it the flavor and soft texture of the classic naan. Add in a little baking powder to help with the leavening . A pinch of sugar and a dash of salt. If you want your naan super soft, add an egg. That's all. Bake. Eat. Enjoy.
Today's homemade naan recipe is for a plain one. You can add in minced garlic, herbs, spices, raisins etc as a last step just before baking to get different flavors. You can also add in essences like rose, kewra etc for a fragrant naan.
1) Hydration of the dough – keep it on the wet and sticky side for the doughy, soft & chewy naan.
4) Breathe – it's only dough and it will bake!
Add the yeast to the warm water. Add in a pinch of sugar from the 1 tbs and reserve the rest. Stir to mix. Set aside for 5 minutes or until the yeast has dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the remaining sugar, the yeast mixture, the 2 tbs oil, the milk, the yogurt and egg. Mix with the paddle attachment until everything combines and a somewhat sticky dough is formed.
Allow to rest covered for 5 minutes and then knead with the dough hook until it looks shiny. It will still be somewhat sticky, but don't be tempted to add more flour.
Form into a ball and take it out of the bowl. Now brush the base of the bowl with some oil and place the dough in it. Cover the bowl with a piece of cling film and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for an hour or until the dough doubles.
25 minutes before you are ready to bake, Pre-heat your oven to 550*F. Place a pizza stone in it to heat as well.
Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal balls.
Working with one dough ball at a time,roll out into a tear drop shape. Wide on one side, narrow on the other.
Lift up and place it on the pizza stone. Bake for about 2 - 3 minutes.
Keep an eye on it after the first 1.5 minutes and take out when the gets a few brown spots. Remove from oven and brush with butter before serving.
Had to bookmark this reciepe. I have been looking for Naan receipe, nothing looked closer to real naan but these naans looks like you nailed it.
What type of flour is used here? The recipe sounds simple and the naan looks amazing!
It is just all purpose flour. Maida in urdu and Hindi .
Thanks for the help here! I wasn't cooking the naan hot enough before. 550F minimum is right.
Could anyone who has tried this out let me know if the addition of egg makes the naan smell eggy. I hate food stuff that have the slightest eggy smell/after taste..
Naan otherwise looks fantastic and can feel the soft texture by just looking at it!
Vaish, It doesn't have any eggy smell. Not even the bit you get in a muffin. Go on try it.
I am part of a food group on Facebook where a friend of yours (Karen Harris) shared this Nan bread and I wanted it for my own.
Your blog is very well done and I am bookmarking it in my food file for the future.
Karen is at it again and I've yet to try it. That Costco stuff is sure easy but I'm betting this tastes out of this world. Our next cooking event together?
You know how I feel when I see these! THUD!! Big time THUD! Need a pizza stone asap, and want naan. Beautiful!
Your naan looks as if you have done in a clay tandoor, PERFECT!!!
It's the pizza stone and high temperature of the oven. Thanks Balvinder.
This is calling my name! I have always wanted to try making naan and it looks so comforting!
Thanks Laura. Go for it.
Thanks Donalyn. Pizza stone makes a big difference in the texture of the Naan made in oven.
I have to try Naan one more time with Yeast. This looks exactly the way I want it to be .
You must try the yeasty one Radhika. You will Love it. Thank you for your kind comments.
I love a yeasty Naan. Let me know how it works for you, Mireya.
These look SO good. I've not yet had good luck with this but I'm going to follow these directions to the letter and then hold my breath.
If you keep the hydration on the higher side, Maureen you will make perfect naans. Good luck.
I love naan! My favorite Indian bread. I've made it, but with so-so results. Definitely something I need to practice. Yours looks wonderful! Terrific inspiration — thanks.
You said it.. practice and don't give up. It's really a very satisfying bread. But then all breads are!
Beautifully done, Ansh! It's been a while since I've made naan and I'd like to try again soon. I'll be sure to use your recipe and hope my results are even half as tempting as yours.
Holly, If you can conquer macaroons, you can conquer anything! Just go for it!
I adore Naan and would love to try to make it. However, you know me and my doughaphobia. I made pizza dough Monday night and it was a disaster. Tough and crunchy and practically inedible. I really don't understand dough.
OH NO!! I am so sorry Lea Ann. We should get together and take this dough to task. I would love to bake a bread with you.
Sending the link to my sisters! We had always been in search of a good recipe for naan.Is there a recipe without eggs? In India, there are 250 days where women cannot eat eggs or touch eggs. so…before they ask, I am asking!
Shyamashree, I am working on an eggless recipe today. will keep you posted on how that turns out. I do have a eggless recipe, but it doesn't stay as soft as this one. So tweaking it a little to see what becomes of it!
I love NAAN! IT's probably my favorite bread! Once I won a cooking contest by making Cuban sandwiches on NAAN bread! It was perfect for that sandwich! Im going to try and make this! I would love to have some NAAN in my house!
Heather, I love a Naanwich 😉 You will love this!
Naan looks so perfect! I am very tempted to give this a try.
You must absolutely try it Priti.

Rabbi Shlomo Amar may be heading for a second term as Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel. The Knesset's Internal Affairs Committee has approved a law that would allow Chief Rabbis to serve two consecutive terms.
The law is expected to pass a third and final reading in Knesset on Wednesday.
The law is expected to pass thanks to an agreement between the Likud and Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) factions. Bayit Yehudi voted for the "Amar Bill" in exchange for Likud concessions regarding the committee that selects chief rabbis.
Likud had proposed that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu select the ten rabbis who serve on the committee. Under the new agreement, Netanyahu and Bayit Yehudi head Minister Naftali Bennett will each select five.
Bennett will also select the 10 public figures who, along with the rabbis, choose the next Chief Rabbi.
Bayit Yehudi is hoping for the election of a religious-Zionist Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi.

SIX at 6: Taking the Bullshit, A Kidnapping, Rule Breakers, Swans, Coaching Trees, and An Infinitely Repeatable Process
The Ability To Take The Bullshit
Before his writing career took off, Steven Pressfield lived in a halfway house because the rent was cheap. Besides Pressfield, everyone in the halfway house had previously lived in mental hospitals. "They were among the smartest people that I ever met," Pressfield said. "They weren't crazy at all. They were actually the smart people who had seen through the bullshit and because of that, they couldn't function in the world. They couldn't hold a job because they just couldn't take the bullshit, and that was how they wound up in institutions." This wasn't Pressfield's point, but as Morgan Housel writes, it highlights a skill required to function in the world: being able to accept hassle when reality demands it, being able to deal with petty annoyances outside our control. Artists are good at this. They take the bullshit and turn it into something. They spin a terrible experience into a defining moment. They live with an it's-all-material mentality. To everything that happens, they find a way to say, I can use that. Here's some examples…
Turn The Experience Into A Story
In 1998, after getting fired, Nick Thompson took a trip to Africa. Playing his guitar at a subway platform in Tangiers, Thompson was kidnapped by some drug lords. They threw him in the back of their van then locked him in a room and explained elaborate plans to distribute drugs across America. When Thompson somehow made it clear that he wouldn't make a good drug mule, they took all sixty of his dollars and dumped him at a train station. "And then the great thing is," Thompson said, "that I then had a story. And so, I turned that experience into an essay for the Washington Post." Up to that point, Thompson had no journalistic aspirations. Since, he's navigated an impressive career in journalism. He was a senior editor at Wired then at The New Yorker, he co-founded the multi-media publishing company the Atavist, and he is currently the CEO of The Atlantic. The kidnapping, he said, "turned out to be a really interesting experience for a mere $60."
Just Keep The Show Going
At a Hamilton performance just for college students in Puerto Rico, Lin-Manuel Miranda came down the steps in the opening number and saw that a young lady in the fourth row was filming. Usually in these situations, as soon as he gets the chance, Lin-Manuel goes offstage and tells the stage manager that someone in the fourth row is filming. But his character doesn't leave the stage. He was annoyed, struggling to function, distracted and irritated by the awareness of someone breaking the rules as they were clearly defined before the show. "But I don't want to stop the show," he said, "so I think up, 'I got a scholarship to King's College / I probably shouldn't brag but, dang I amaze and astonish / Hey, lady filming in the fourth row, please stop it / I got a holler just to be heard / Every word I drop knowledge…' and I just kept going."
What Time Does The Next Swan Leave?
Orson Welles calls this the best theater joke of all time. The actor and tenor Leo Slezak was performing Lohengrin, a Romantic opera composed and written by Richard Wagner. Slezak enters the stage standing on a swan boat. He gets off, sings a while, then is supposed to get back on the swan boat and float off. But when Slezak went to get back on the swan, it was gone. A stage hand pulled the it off the stage too early. "Without missing a beat," Welles says in My Lunches With Orson, "he turned to the audience and ad libbed, 'What time does the next swan leave?'" The crowd erupted in laughter.
Make The Opposite Of What You Hate
In sports, great head coaches are measured by their coaching tree—do their assistant coaches go on to be great head coaches? René Redzepi—chef and co-owner of the three-Michelin star restaurant Noma in Copenhagen—is famous for his coaching tree. Rosio sanchez, Christian Puglisi, Matt Orlando, Søren Ledet, Daniel Burns, Sam Miller, Dan Giusti, Damian Wawrzyniak, Thomas Frebel, Jose Luis Hinostroza, and David Zilber, to name a few—they all worked in Redzepi's kitchen before going off and starting their own successful restaurants. Redzepi was asked why he does this, why he helps his most talented employees go off and do their own thing. Isn't it a hassle to find replacements? Wouldn't it better for his restaurant if he hoarded the talent? It all stems from a terrible experience, Redzepi said. "I had a moment where I left a restaurant I was working at, and it was a terrible experience. I left and people treated me as if I was a stranger to them. That's not that uncommon—'leave, just stay away, now we're competitors.' It was just a terrible experience and I promised myself never to be that. And honestly, that's what happened—a terrible experience that led me to say, 'No way. If people leave my restaurant and they do it in a fantastic way, in a sound way…I will do everything I can to help them.'"
Articulate An Alternative Vision
Austin Kleon wrote about how he gets asked all the time: how do you deal with the feelings and emotions around creative work? You use them, of course. "Feelings and emotions are a form of information," he writes. "The question is what you do with information." The answer is you channel it into creating something—a career in journalism, an ad libbed line, a reputation of helping former employees succeed. Or in Kleon's case, books. All of his books, he says, have come from feeling annoyed. "I see something I feel negatively about," he writes, "something that aggravates me, something that pisses me off, something that infuriates me, and then I spend some time trying to articulate an alternative vision." It's an infinitely repeatable process, Kleon writes, one you can use everyday. Because hassle and bullshit and nonsense and frustrations and petty annoyances and the lady filming when she was told not to and the swan leaving before it was supposed to—these things happen every day. They can almost always be turned into something positive. It's all material.


This large Purple Sage was introduced by Carol Bernstein from a specimen found on the coastal bluffs of Pt. Sal in Santa Barbara County. Amethyst Bluff starts out as a low-mounding shrub but eventually grows very large, reaching up to 10 feet in height and spreading up to 15 feet. It is ideally suited for a large scale planting, particularly on a sunny slope or bank where it can sprawl freely. This selection tolerates heavy soils and provides good erosion control. Amethyst Bluff has fragrant silvery foliage and showy lavender flowers on 12 inch long spikes. It is very attractive to butterflies, bees and other pollinators.
Is this the plant that grows native here on the ridges? Someone told me it is wild lilac, in spring it gets light blue or purple to deep lavender color flowers, grouped like a small stalk on a lilac bush. The bush itself seems to grow easily to 20 feet, and has small green leaves.


have you ever tried to change the Project Manager in a project using a New UX? It does not transfer all the necessary rights to the new manager, does it? Isn't it a bug?
Later, when we change the Manager (through DETAILS page), only the Project - Manager (Auto) gets re-assigned to the new manager. All other rights stay with the old manager.
Can you confirm that? Isn't it a bug?
I believe that the only right a named project manager gets is the "Project - Manager (Auto)" right - not sure how (in your system) you would get all the other rights (via a process perhaps?).
that was my first thought as well, but I checked the Initiated processes list and it's empty. So I came to a [false?] conclusion, that it's the New UX that is somehow giving those extra rights to the PM.
So what else can it be? Databse trigger maybe?
Well if it was a DB trigger you would expect that to be triggered both in legacy UI and new UI - what happens in the legacy-UI when you change project managers?
you're right! I've put the blame on the New UX prematurely. The same set of rights is granted even if the project is created in the classic UX.
And more interestingly, do the rights get transferred when you change the 'project manager' in the classic-UX?


After suffering two listless defeats in his first three Octagon outings, Neil Magny's UFC career was almost over before it had the chance to begin. The Colorado-based welterweight began to look for work outside of MMA, going as far as sitting for an interview to join the local police force. However, Magny decided to give MMA one last go and, fully focused and rededicated to improving as a fighter, Magny went on a record-equaling run of victories and, against the odds, became a genuine UFC contender.

Water found in the Apollo 15 'Genesis Rock'
Called the "Genesis Rock," Apollo 15 sample of unbrecciated anorthosite was thought to be a piece of the moon's primordial crust. In a paper published online February 17 in Nature Geoscience a University of Michigan researcher and colleagues report traces of water have been found in the sample [NASA/Johnson Space Center].

University of Michigan News Service
Traces of water have been detected within the crystalline structure of mineral samples from the lunar highland upper crust obtained during the Apollo missions, according to a University of Michigan researcher and his colleagues.
The lunar highlands are thought to represent the original crust, crystallized from a magma ocean on a mostly molten early Moon. The new findings indicate the early Moon was wet and that water there was not substantially lost during the Moon's formation.
The results seem to contradict the predominant lunar formation theory -- that the Moon was formed from debris generated during a giant impact between Earth and another planetary body, approximately the size of Mars, according to U-M's Youxue Zhang and his colleagues.
"Because these are some of the oldest rocks from the Moon, the water is inferred to have been in the Moon when it formed," Zhang said. "That is somewhat difficult to explain with the current popular Moon-formation model, in which the Moon formed by collecting the hot ejecta as the result of a super-giant impact of a Martian-size body with the proto-Earth.
"Under that model, the hot ejecta should have been degassed almost completely, eliminating all water," Zhang said.
A paper titled "Water in lunar anorthosites and evidence for a wet early Moon" was published online February 17 in the journal Nature Geoscience. The first author is Hejiu Hui, postdoctoral research associate of civil & environmental engineering & Earth sciences at the University of Notre Dame. Hui received his doctorate at U-M under Zhang, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and one of three co-authors of the Nature Geoscience paper.
The Genesis Rock presented itself in situ on top of a pedestal, "as though it had been waiting for someone to retrieve it." Apollo 15 Dave Scott and Jim Irwin, aware on sight of the sample's potential value, were careful to photograph the find both before and after retrieval. AS15-86-11670 [NASA/ALSJ].
Over the last five years, spacecraft observations and new lab measurements of Apollo lunar samples have overturned the long-held belief that the Moon is bone-dry. In 2008, laboratory measurement of Apollo lunar samples by ion microprobe detected indigenous hydrogen, inferred to be the water-related chemical species hydroxyl, in lunar volcanic glasses. In 2009, NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing satellite, known as LCROSS, slammed into a permanently shadowed lunar crater and ejected a plume of material that was surprisingly rich in water ice.
Hydroxyls have also been detected in other volcanic rocks and in the lunar regolith, the layer of fine powder and rock fragments that coats the lunar surface. Hydroxyls, which consist of one atom of hydrogen and one of oxygen, were also detected in the lunar anorthosite study reported in Nature Geoscience.
In the latest work, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the water content in grains of plagioclase feldspar from lunar anorthosites, highland rocks composed of more than 90 percent plagioclase. The bright-colored highlands rocks are thought to have formed early in the Moon's history when plagioclase crystallized from a magma ocean and floated to the surface.
The infrared spectroscopy work, which was conducted at Zhang's U-M lab and co-author Anne H. Peslier's lab, detected about 6 parts per million of water in the lunar anorthosites.
"The surprise discovery of this work is that in lunar rocks, even in nominally water-free minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, the water content can be detected," said Zhang, James R. O'Neil Collegiate Professor of Geological Sciences.
"It's not 'liquid' water that was measured during these studies but hydroxyl groups distributed within the mineral grain," said Notre Dame's Hui. "We are able to detect those hydroxyl groups in the crystalline structure of the Apollo samples."
The hydroxyl groups the team detected are evidence that the lunar interior contained significant water during the Moon's early molten state, before the crust solidified, and may have played a key role in the development of lunar basalts. "The presence of water," said Hui, "could imply a more prolonged solidification of the lunar magma ocean than the once-popular anhydrous Moon scenario suggests."
The researchers analyzed grains from ferroan anorthosites 15415 and 60015, as well as troctolite 76535. Ferroan anorthosite 15415 is one the best known rocks of the Apollo collection and is popularly called the Genesis Rock because the astronauts thought they had a piece of the Moon's primordial crust. It was collected on the rim of Spur Crater (Science Station 7) during the Apollo 15 mission.
Rock 60015 is highly shocked ferroan anorthosite collected near the lunar module during the Apollo 16 mission. Troctolite 76535 is a coarse-grained plutonic rock collected during the Apollo 17 mission.
Co-author Peslier is at Jacobs Technology and NASA Johnson Space Center. Fourth author of the Nature Geoscience paper, Clive R. Neal, is a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences at the University of Notre Dame.

This is really interesting. I'm sure that soon water will be extracted from these and then softened so that it is safe for us to use. You can find out more about hard water if you click here. I have really enjoyed reading this blog. If there's aby updates please post! :)
Yah your article is very interesting. I like your all world planet information. So in world water is very hard and dirty. so we use the water softeners. Because water softeners provide soft and salt-free water. So you choose the Best Water softener.

Alex Ovechkin was trying desperately to get to the front of the Washington net late in regulation with the score tied at 2 in Game 3 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. In an attempt to swipe the puck out of danger, though, the Capitals' star left wing accidentally tipped it into the net for what proved to be the game-winning tally for the New York Rangers.
Ovechkin lay on the ice, head resting on top of his arms, motionless as Madison Square Garden erupted in celebration of the Rangers' 3-2 victory. The win puts New York back in this first-round matchup and cuts Washington's lead to two games to one.

IBM Has Aggressive IoT Ambitions
By David Roe | Aug 28, 2015
CHANNEL: Internet of Things
New research from Strategy Analytics offers some insight about IBM's significant investment in the Internet of Things (IoT).
The report by Laura DiDio, IBM Takes Aim at IoT with Multi Billions Investment, looks at IBM's IoT interests and how it's shaping its business to manage the IoT's growth.
In March, IBM set up its specialized IoT unit under the hood of its wider analytics business. It announced it would pump $3 billion into the unit and hire 2,000 workers to build out the business. But that's only the beginning, DiDo and Andrew Brown, Strategy Analytics executive director of IoT and mobility, told CMSWire.
Building a Cloud Platform
In the past 18 to 24 months, IBM has invested $10 billion in IoT and analytics, acquisitions and partnerships, DiDio said. It's also investing 6 percent annually on IoT research and development, she added.
IBM's objective is to build an open cloud platform that will enable everyone in the IoT ecosystem build solutions "with IBMs fingerprints all over them," she explained.
IBM is focused on building a foundation for IoT development.
"The real money in IoT is services. What will happen, for example, with with all those IT departments that are looking at moving to the IoT? If they are doing a large IoT deployment and not just doing something that's targeted in one small department and installing sensors, that's going to take a huge effort," DiDio said.
"The IoT is an amalgamation of many technologies. All of a sudden you have to put the data side of the house together with the telco and the carrier side, security, connectivity, software, analytics. It's quite daunting. This is where IBM sees it role."
4-Pronged Attack
The centerpiece of IBM's IoT initiative is the IoT Business Unit, which works closely with it analytics group. IoT technology depends on analytics to process the data generated by connected devices.
IBM is in a good position to become an IoT market leader, Brown said, based on its traditional leadership in semiconductors, server hardware, databases, analytics and services.
"Additionally, IBM is a top tier player in emerging markets including cloud computing, big data and predictive analytics and IoT not to mention over 750,000 patents," he added.
Big Blue is also enhancing the security, reliability, management, mobility, connectivity and analytics features of its core server hardware platforms that enable the IoT such as the Power Systems and System z Enterprise mainframes. The company has just come out with the z13 mainframe, which has an entry level price is the $50,000 to $75,000 range. "That puts in reach of even small companies," DiDio said.
IBM's four-pronged IoT strategy includes:
Devices and Networks: Technology for hardware, networking, and operating systems infrastructure
Platforms: Technology to build and manage IoT systems along with programming APIs for software development
Applications and Solutions: Security and services for specific IoT solutions to mask complexity and reduce risk to organizations and individuals
Industry Specific Transformations: Packaged offerings like strategic consulting and business process change
IoT Financial Support
Brown said any company that wants to secure and maintain a future leadership role in the IoT will have to have deep pockets and solid financials.
"This is particularly true since IBM competitors like Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and SAS all have IoT strategies. IBM will face competition from newer, non-traditional rivals as Amazon and Google as well," he said.
Cisco, Google and Oracle are also aggressively purchasing IoT start-ups and established vendors in related IoT market segments like software, analytics and security.
Cisco, like IBM, is establishing Innovation Centers around the globe. Most recently Cisco opened its eighth Innovation Centre in Melbourne, Australia. So IBM cannot rest on its laurels.
But IBM's past investments in data management, information management, cloud computing, analytics and hardware have put it in a very strong position.
"IBM has amassed all of the right ingredients for success: dedication and commitment in terms of manpower, monetary investment, a well-developed partner ecosystem and R&D center that spans the globe," Brown said.
From this, System Analytics concludes that IBM is likely to be a strong force in driving mainstream adoption of IoT environments.
"IBM has an aggressive IoT and Big Data Analytics product roadmap. To date, it has done an excellent job of executing against its deliverables," he said.

Později byl vývojový tým zreformován, projekt přejmenován na Ascent a zdrojové kódy se začaly šířit pod GPL, přičemž v současnosti jsou k dispozici pod Affero General Public License

Ve své době byl Antrix považován za největšího konkurenta "tradičního" MaNGOSu.

Výhody oproti Mangosu
 Hlavní výhoda Ascentu je jeho stabilita
 Malá spotřeba paměti
 Rychlý vývoj (zejména v začátcích)

Nevýhody oproti MaNGOSu
 Méně kvalitní databáze
 Menší vývojářská základna
 Větší a závažnější bugy

Mnoho serverů přešlo z MaNGOSu na Ascent právě díky jeho neuvěřitelné stabilitě (např. na stejném serveru MaNGOS udržel 300 lidí, zatímco Ascent 1000). Zároveň se ovšem servery potýkaly s takovými nedokonalostmi emulátoru jako: nefunkční dungeony, nefunkční questy apod.

Steven Cohen is a self-described gearhead whose Aaron Equipment Co. in Bensenville buys, sells and manufactures machinery.
So it was with great fervor that he tackled a mechanical frustration at home — his 11-year-old son, Joey, who is autistic, couldn't master riding his bike.
Joey couldn't ride on his own but was old enough that he didn't want help. "He just wanted to be like his brothers. But the pedals knocked him in the shins," Mr. Cohen said.
"He loved it. He can walk and coast and control it," Mr. Cohen told me for my Taking Names column in this week's Crain's Chicago Business.
JoRide Bicycles was born, and now Mr. Cohen is taking orders form school districts, care facilities and youth centers to create bikes for children and adults with disabilities.
He also gets individual orders from parents of children like Joey — and from people who have never learned how to ride a bike. "It's a great way to learn," he said.
A few large bike-makers are also talking to Mr. Cohen about his entrepreneurial venture.
Now, "Joey can do this on his own," Mr. Cohen said. "Everyone wants independence."


A busy spring and summer of interviews and campus tours led to the College hiring seven new department chairs, all of whom took their positions just before the start of the fall term.
Students across the College of Arts and Sciences received awards and were recognized for their achievements during the Spring 2015 semester.
In April of this year, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Intercollegiate Bioethics Bowl team defeated six teams to win the 2015 Bioethics Bowl.
Nole Jones has sung his way to the top. The baritone, one of only 14 men in the country to make the semi-final round, competed at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) National Student Auditions.
Rebecca Hyde, a junior international studies major, and Elora Robbani, a senior philosophy major, were recently awarded the William Jefferson Clinton Scholarship.
Biology graduate student Mary Latimer is a recipient of a 2015-2016 STEM Chateaubriand Fellowship.
Music major Aleksandra Kasman won the inaugural High Point Univerisity Piano Competition in June.
The Alabama Space Grant Consortium, a center of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) housed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has chosen computer and information sciences major Ryan McConn as one of their 2015 Space Grant Scholars.
Dr. Purushotham Bangalore, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences and Director of the Collaborative Computing Laboratory (CLL), has been awarded nearly $500,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his project on a high-speed campus research network.
Dr. Wendy Gunther-Canada, Chair of the Department of Government, is one of several UAB faculty members and administrators who have established the new Alabama Network for Women in Higher Education.
Dr. Malinda Blair O'Leary, Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, has become the first arts and sciences professor to have a course certified by Quality Matters, an international program that provides standards for online learning.
Robert Sorge, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, was named one of seven Rita Allen Foundation Scholars for 2015.
CAS Advisor Tyna Adams, who supports biology students, was named Outstanding New Advisor Award from the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) at their summer conference.
UAB has been named one of only six Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging.
Department of Theatre Chair Kelly Dean Allison, Department of Music Chair Patrick Evans, and Department of Art and Art History Chair Lauren Lake have been chosen as fellows for the International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD).
The 2015-2016 Haddin Lecture Series will feature a number of arts and sciences faculty members. All lectures will be given in Heritage Hall Room 121.
In March, the College of Arts and Sciences celebrated our nine graduates who were honored at the UAB National Alumni Society's Excellence in Business Top 25 event.

Armley Mills Leeds Ghost Hunt
Armley Mill in Leeds is a paranormal hotspot due to the many ghostly reports from staff and visitors alike at this very scary location.
Are you brave enough to join Dusk Till Dawn Events this Halloween as we descend into the darkness of the Mill?
Will you be touched by icy cold hands like so many others during our Vigils and Séances as we try and communicate with those who still reside here.....
This dark, sinister looking building itself actually dates back as far as the Sixteenth Century, but it was not until 1788 that Armley Mills was bought by Colonel Thomas Lloyd who then turned it into the world's largest woollen mill.
In 1804 Benjamin Gott agreed to buy Armley Mills from Colonel Lloyd, but sadly in November 1805 the mill was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
Benjamin Gott re-built the mill from fireproof materials, using brick and iron wherever possible and it is Gott's mill which survives largely intact to this day.
The working conditions in the mill were poor for employees; even children had to work at the Mill, some as young as only Six years old, the Children were particularly vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, having to work very long hours in terrible conditions and consequently as a result many horrific machine accidents occurred here.
It was not until 1969 that the mill finally closed as a business due to the increasing use of manmade fibers, in recognition of its historic importance the building was bought by Leeds City Council who re-opened the location in 1982 which is now known as Leeds Industrial Museum.
Due to this buildings history we should not really be at all surprised when we hear that Paranormal activity in this location is said to be rife with the many strange, supernatural occurrences such as body shaped shadows caught on camera, machinery starting by its self, extreme temperature changes and strange childlike whispering voices somewhere in the distance, all of which have been reported by daytime staff and visitors of Armley Mill.
Dusk Till Dawn Events have this unique building for a Nights Investigation and you have the chance to join in your very own Ghost Hunt at one of the UK'S Most Haunted Locations.
You will have full use of Ghost Hunting Equipment and the night will be hosted by experienced hosts.
You will take part in various experiments such as Table Tipping and Glass Divination and watch and wait Vigils throughout the Night in the most active parts of the location.
This really is Ghost hunting at its best in such a fantastic haunted location it may be cold and very dark so wrap up warm and bring Torches.
As this Building may get very cold Dusk Till Dawn Events advise Guests to wear warm clothing.
Tea and Coffee and Biscuits are provided by Dusk Till Dawn Events

Unpaid Salaries : ASUU Threatens 'No Pay, No Work'
The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) yesterday alerted Nigerians about a fresh crisis which would surpass all previous ones in the nation's universities.
The union called on the stakeholders and Nigerians to prevail on the Federal Government to pay its members across the country their withheld eight months salaries.
The chairman of ASUU, University of Ilorin branch, Moyosore Ajao, raised the alarm at a special congress of the local branch held at the university's main auditorium.
Moyosore's speech was read by the secretary of the union, AbdulGaniyu Olatunji.
The lecturers had staged a solidarity rally within the university's campus before retiring to the auditorium where they addressed newsmen on: " Casualisation of Intellectual Workers In Nigeria: Prelude To Our Response".
Ajao said, "Gentlemen of the press, let me assure you that our union is resolved to continue to call the attention of the government to its responsibilities despite the obnoxious treatment being meted out to us by the government. To this effect, though we have resumed work in our university, the government's ignoble stance of withholding our eight months' salaries, which is based on its ill- advised policy of 'No work, No Pay' is set to trigger fresh crises.
"In the coming days, the union would respond by considering invoking the 'No Pay, No work' policy and would abandon the works that have accumulated for those periods which the government has falsely claimed, through Chris Ngige, that our members have not worked.

It is pertinent to note that, before any industrial action, the union would have given a series of warnings. Therefore, Nigerian stakeholders should understand that not to heed the warning of the union is to risk unpleasant consequences."
"Thus, members of the public are hereby sensitized and put on notice again that a fresh crisis, which would surpass all previous ones, is looming again in Nigeria Universities as our members cannot and would not continue to do free work that would not be remunerated. We hope that with this notice, all relevant stakeholders, who have the ears of the government and would act fast before the fragile peace restored on our campuses' nationwide collapses.
He added that as a law abiding union, they have heeded the directive of the court which directed that they resume their duties while the substantive matter is being heard. However, after resumption from strike and to their utmost dismay, the government decided that half salaries be paid to their members for the month of October, 2022.
He described the development is unacceptable and would be resisted by the union, adding that academics are not casual workers. "Only casual workers receive pay prorate. The law of the land is also clear on this; indeed, the National Industrial Court made it clear in a landmark judgment in 2020 that tenured staff cannot be paid pro-rata," he said
"While the union finds it absurd that the Ministries of Education and Finance have surrendered their duties and now take order from Ngige, the crass ignorance exhibited by Chris Ngige's order makes a mockery of the Nigeria nation which in the committee of nations in the world has become infamous as the first nation to convert intellectual workers in its universities to casual staff. It is very sad that the minister of labour is ignorant of the fact that academic staff engage in so many activities aside from teaching duties. In fact, the primary duty of an academic staff is research, and there are other activities such as that that continue to engage their attention irrespective of strike action or whether school is in session or not," he noted.

Climate Change and Sea Level Rise: Don't Let the Media Freak You Out!
The way the New York Times reports about climate change and sea level rise, you'd think most of Florida will disappear within the next century or two. Here are a few sobering tweets illustrating some of the media alarmism I've read in the past week versus the facts about the rising sea level (click through to view the full sized images).
Point being, of course, that the sea level has been rising at a pretty consistent rate since well before human emissions could possibly have been the driving force. The Times here is begging the question.
Needless to say, reporting extreme worst-case scenarios based on computer models containing questionable assumptions while not filling readers in on reality is not very objective.
In fact, scientists estimate that, compared to the present 1 foot per century rate of rise today, at the end of the last ice age, the rate of sea level rise reached 2.5 meters per century. The Times' claim that the sea is rising today at a rate perhaps faster than any other time in Earth's history is just outrageous.
Here's a relevant previous blog post on the subject that goes into more detail: Are You Terrified Yet by Rising Sea Levels? Should You Be?
