The Bloody Beetroots' Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo has a spiffy new stage name.
The Italian multi-instrumentalist will now be known as SBCR when he DJs and releases dance-oriented productions, such as those comprising his forthcoming SBCR & Friends, Vol. 1 EP on Dim Mak Records.
However, Beetroots fans need not fear: Rifo will continue using the project as an outlet for his rock-influenced live electronic material.
"I love creating new things, and starting from scratch gives you the opportunity to analyze your skills as an artist in a completely different way," explains Rifo.
Rifo collaborated with fellow Italian producer Razihel on the hard-hitting electro house number, which is built around a seesawing pitched bass progression and bubbling breakdown arpeggios.
"Feeling out of your comfort zone in the creative process, for me, is necessary if not indispensable," says Rifo. "I decided to work with Razihel on this track as there are so many great talents out there who just need a little more light to shine on them"
Dim Mak boss Steve Aoki describes the Bloody Beetroots as "one of the first acts to define our label in the electronic space."
"To revisit one of our electro forefathers is a great honor and representative of Dim Mak's deep-rooted history," says Aoki. "But don't be mistaken, this is an entirely new chapter for SBCR and his brand new sound."
SBCR & Friends, Vol. 1 will be available through Dim Mak Records on March 17, and is ready for pre-order on iTunes now.

In a single-continent world, what could cause hydrothermal vents?
In the world I'm building, there is a single continent. However, in the deeper parts of the ocean, there are hydrothermal vents. They're pretty necessary to my story, but I can't figure out why they would be there as to my knowledge they usually need to be near cracks in the tectonic plates.
I don't know if it's worth noting, but the core of my world is very small and there is little magma to be found. The hydrothermal vents are also about 16 500 ft down instead of around 16 000 feet.

$\begingroup$ Not all tectonic plates carry continents. For example, on our own Earth, the Pacific plate, the Nazca plate, the Scotia plate and the Filipino plate don't carry continents. Not to mention that a continent can be assembled from continental crust residing on multiple plates; for example, Asia has pieces residing on the Eurasian, Arabian and Indian plates. $\endgroup$ – AlexP Sep 24 '18 at 21:34
$\begingroup$ "little magma to be found" - do you want your world to be tectonically inactive? $\endgroup$ – Alexander Sep 24 '18 at 21:45
$\begingroup$ Note the earth has had only a single continent more than once. youtube.com/watch?v=UwWWuttntio $\endgroup$ – John Sep 25 '18 at 5:10
$\begingroup$ @Alexander yea, i believe so $\endgroup$ – AzaleaGarden Sep 25 '18 at 16:57
$\begingroup$ In that case, you probably can't have plate tectonics. But you still can have "hot spots" (I'd second Ash's answer), and it's up to you to have those spots more or less active. $\endgroup$ – Alexander Sep 26 '18 at 17:14
Hotspots, Hawaii and Yellowstone are two of the most active geothermal/volcanic areas on Earth. Both are sited in the middle of tectonic plates rather than along the edges where most volcanism occurs and both occur at fixed locations that are fed heat and magma from great depths. Such locations could be prime candidates for subsurface geothermal vents.
Alternately you could have a "double-ring" plate system in which spreading zones, along which your thermal vents would be, could feed crust into subduction zones all around the continent. This will mean that there are tectonically and volcanically active mountains all around your one continent. This is not a situation that is stable over geological time, but could be maintained for a long time. This would be like the modern pacific basin only more so, with the ocean being around the continent instead of the continent around the ocean.
You can have tectonic plates even on a water world, that is still "land" under there, you just have enough water to cover it all.
In your case, any tectonic plates carrying enough land to break through water are all adjacent to each other; just like our continents were once all adjacent. Look at early Earth and Pangaea for an example.
With multiple plates you can still have mountains, valleys, etc. No problems with it, just as you have it. Any tectonic plate joins under the ocean are just plates that don't carry enough land to be seen above water.

$\begingroup$ Indeed, a planet will have tectonic plates regardless the actual surface conditions, which are almost meaningless in thickness compared to the thickness of the mantle (skin) of the world. $\endgroup$ – JBH Sep 25 '18 at 3:51
No need for the single continent (let's hypothetically call it "Pangea" -- all earth) to have always existed, or for it to always exist in the future.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea
Pangaea or Pangea ( /pænˈdʒiːə/) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago.
Those hydrothermal vents are part of the undersea mid-ocean ridges which pushed the earlier continents together...

Natural nuclear reactor.
Nuclear fission makes a lot of heat, which is how we use uranium to generate power. Naturally occurring concentrations of uranium can undergo nuclear chair reactions naturally, and generate a lot of heat. The Wikipedia article details a naturally occurring fission chain reaction at a site called Oklo.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor
Mechanism of the reactors The natural nuclear reactor formed when a uranium-rich mineral deposit became inundated with groundwater that acted as a neutron moderator, and a nuclear chain reaction took place. The heat generated from the nuclear fission caused the groundwater to boil away, which slowed or stopped the reaction. After cooling of the mineral deposit, the water returned, and the reaction restarted, completing a full cycle every 3 hours. The fission reaction cycles continued for hundreds of thousands of years and ended when the ever-decreasing fissile materials no longer could sustain a chain reaction.
In your world there are multiple such deposits. If they are undersea that is good because it will be harder for the groundwater to boil away. The reaction will continue until the fissile materials are depleted.

This past month has been a series of ups and downs and the heat didnt make it any easier. This heat wave makes me go hyper and I hate it. I have decided I am going to settle in a city where its chilly cold all the time. I had rather be shivering non stop than sweating non stop!
Moving over to some good parts of this month, I finally got over one of the biggest fears of my life and I am so proud of it. It was like a birthday gift for myself. Two years ago, I wouldn't have even thought about it. That reminds me, I had my birthday two weeks ago and it was amazing, by amazing I am actually referring to the delicious chocolate almond cake!
Though birthdays always remind me of the people I have lost. They always used to call me at 6 in the morning because they just couldn't hold the excitement. Its been years since they passed away but I still wake up early morning and check my phone, and that's how each one of my birthdays start on a depressing note. But I am sure wherever they are, they are looking down at me and smiling. I am sure.
Happy Birthday Ritika and yes life is an important journey where you ought to know your destination or at least imagine it and feel it. We can't reach a place which we have not thought about. Do have a life plan and you will get a road map which will keep you on your toes and boost your morale too.
anyways yummy cake .. *drooling* :D..
And yes.. believe in the words of that last pic... unless you do, you cant see the possibilities that lie in front of you.
Life will always have ups and downs. The point is to remember that after every down there is a up waiting to happen. Good luck and stay happy.

Greer High School alums were everywhere.
They dined, in classes, at Rivera's, in the courtyard at Wild Ace Pizza and Pub, atop the roof at the Cazbah, BIN112, Great Bay Oyster House and other downtown restaurants. Reservations tonight were made by "Class of … " instead of individuals. Many visited Acme General Store, the Shoppes at the Grapevine and walked downtown as one – one big reunion of Greer High School graduates, former students, friends and acquaintances.
Greer Station and City Park will be abuzz with the biggest reunion the city and Greer High School alumni has ever hosted on Saturday.
Carl Howell, Deputy Fire Marshal of the Greer Fire Department, who is adept at gauging crowd size, estimates about 2,000 graduates, spouses, faculty and associates of Greer High School will be social butterflies Saturday. "I'm sure there are a lot of other place like Greer. But there's never been a community get together like ours that I am aware," Howell said.

Q: Maximize sharpe ratio. Is $x_0 x_1 \ge x_2$ convex? I'm dealing with the portfolio optimization case study of mosek and want to add limits on the total number of assets to be re-weighted and the turnover of each asset.
The objective is to maximize Sharpe ratio $\frac{\mu^{T}w}{\sqrt{w^T \Sigma w}}$ or to minimize $\frac{\sqrt{w^T \Sigma w}}{\mu^{T}w}$ with $\mu^T w \ge 0$ and budget constraint $e^Tw=1$. It's similar to linear fractional problem, so I introduce a variable $g$ to get rid of the denominator.
$$
\min_{\hat{w}} \sqrt{\hat{w}^T \Sigma \hat{w}}
$$
where $\hat{w}$ is the scaled portfolio weights that $\hat{w} = w * g$. By cholesky decomposition we can have $GG^T = \Sigma$ and $\sqrt{\hat{w}^T \Sigma \hat{w}}=\sqrt{\hat{w}^TGG^T\hat{w}}=||G^T\hat{w}||_2$ which can be expressed by a quadratic cone $(s, t) \in Q^{n+1}$ and $t = G^T\hat{w}$
$$
e^{T}\hat{w} = g
$$
$$
\mu^{T}\hat{w} = 1
$$
$$
\hat{w}_{i} - \hat{w}_{0_{i}}  \le \hat{z}_{i}
$$
$$
\hat{w}_{0_{i}} - \hat{w}_{i}  \le \hat{z}_{i} \quad (\hat{z}_{i}=|\hat{w}_i - \hat{w}_{0_i}|)
$$
$$
\hat{z}_{i}  \le g * U_{i}y_{i}
$$
$$
e^{T}y \le k
$$
$$
-\hat{w}_{i}    \le 0
$$
$$
-g       \le 0
$$
$$
 y\in \{0, 1\} , y \in Z
$$
$U_{i}$ is given as a limit on each asset. $z_i$ is the turnover of each asset, and $g$ is the re-scale factor. $y_{i}$ works as an indicator to limit the number of assets to be re-weighted.
So here we have $z_i \leq g * y_{i}$, while $g, y_{i}, z_{i} \geq 0$. I'm not sure whether it's convex or not. If so, how to deal with this inequality.
I tried to add another variable $c$ that $c_i^2 = z_i$ so we can have a rotated quadratic cone $g * y_i \ge c_i^2$. But I don't know how to link $c$ with $z$ either.

Gallery Photo: HP Envy 14 Spectre hands-on pictures
HP let our imaginations run wild with its Spectre teaser video last week, but it's time to put all those dreams of it being a flying, self-opening laptop to rest. The company is officially releasing its Envy 14 Spectre today, and while it may not be what you imagined, it's one heck of a machine. Termed a "premium ultrabook" the laptop takes everything we've liked about the Envy line and brought it to a .78-inch / 3.9 pound laptop. There's a lot to talk about inside and out of the Spectre — a scratch-proof glass lid and palmrest, a bright and high resolution display, and NFC integration. Below is a breakdown of everything you need to know about HP's new ultrabook.
Hardware / design
No, it's not as thin and light as others like the new Samsung's Series 9, but that's because the entire lid is layered with a piece of Gorilla Glass. That same glass covers the beautiful screen (more on that below) and the palmrest. It's a bit odd that the palmrest is elevated, but it seemed pretty comfortable when I set my wrists on it to type. Unfortunately, the glossy black glass lid attracts a ton of fingerprints.
Like the Folio 13, HP didn't skimp on the ports — it has an SD card reader, two USB ports as well as HDMI, MiniDisplay, and Ethernet ports. Unfortunately, those two USB ports are located right next to each other, which will likely make it hard to plug in two peripherals at the same time.
HP's using a similar keyboard to the one of the Envy 15, meaning it's backlit, well-spaced, and the keys have a soft coating. The touchpad has integrated buttons and is also coated in Gorilla Glass; I found two-finger scrolling to be really smooth and navigating to be pretty decent in my quick hands on time, but I did find it to be stiff, just as we noted in the Envy 15 review.
Display / speakers
If you're an Envy fan, you likely jumped right down to this section. Yes, HP's using the same 14-inch, 1600 x 900-resolution Radience display that it had on its previous Envy 14. That means that you don't only get a screen with a higher resolution than most, but viewing angles and brightness are superb. Naturally, HP brought the Beats branding and the new little jog dial from the Envy 15 and 17 over. The dial lives on the right side of the system with another Beats button, which launches the Beats software.
Specs and NFC
The $1,399 Spectre starting configuration will come with a Core i5-2467M processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB mSATA SSD. There will be Core i7 and other configuration options. Those are some rather standard internal specs, but inside the left edge of the palmrest is something a bit different — an NFC chip. While HP says it's just an "experimental feature" at the moment, it will be releasing an Android app for NFC phones that will let you "touch to share." Functionality will be pretty limited at first; you'll only be able to tap your phone and transfer a URL to the laptop or visa versa. As you would expect, HP's unfortunately not going to release a webOS app for the functionality.
Will the Spectre's extremely unique glass shell be worth the thicker build and heavier body? That's ultimately going to be the major question about the ultrabook. I'm hoping to spend even more time with the Spectre here at CES, but I feel really confident in saying the Spectre is one off, if not the, best ultrabook of the show.
Compare the Envy 14 Spectre with the other ultrabooks introduced here at CES 2012.

360 settlers with dreams of being millionaires thr
360 settlers with dreams of being millionaires threaten legal actionJOHOR BARU, July 9, 2001(The Star) - Some 360 Felda settlers areconsidering legal action against a company managing their land if it doesnot fulfil their dreams of becoming millionaires.Eight years ago, they had converted their 1,477ha land in Cahaya Baru, onwhich they had toiled for over 30 years, for commercial use in a RM544mildeal. Each of them was to get over a RM1mil.They then formed Cahaya Baru Development Berhad (CBDB) and receivedbetween RM140,000 and RM200,000 each as part payment in 1996.But the money has stopped coming. So has development on the proposedcommercial and residential project on their land situated next to thenewly-opened Tanjung Langsat industrial zone.At a much-awaited annual general meeting of CBDB last week, the 366settlers failed to get answers on the progress and future development oftheir land.It is learnt that members were upset with the directors for not being ableto submit last year's audited accounts.Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman, whose father had toiled the land for 30 years,said the company had promised to submit the accounts at an EGM in twomonths.He said the settlers had also requested that the company draw up sale andpurchase agreements to avoid complications later."The AGM was supposed to resolve the problem but now the future of thedevelopment is in doubt."We will wait for the EGM in two months' time and if there are still noanswers from the company, we will take legal action," he said, adding thatthe settlers hoped Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman would intervene.Declining rubber and palm oil prices prompted the settlers to form thecompany in 1993 with the hope that they would get better returns if theland was used for commercial purposes.In April, they were shocked to find the land being cleared for a housingproject they were not aware of. Repeated queries to the company drew ablank.Felda Cahaya Baru is the first land scheme in Johor where settlers optedto convert their land into commercial use.

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs may work for Facebook
Audio file created from text revision dated 2011-03-29 and may not reflect subsequent edits to this report.
Audio Help / Audio Wikinews
Image: Pete Souza.
Robert Gibbs, the former press secretary for the U.S. White House, has been said to be in talks with Facebook about possible future employment as a manager for the communications aspect of the company.
According to an anonymous source close to the company, Gibbs is being pressed to quickly accept the job, in which Mr. Gibbs may receive millions of dollars in both salary and initial stock options for a planned public offering of Facebook Inc. in 2012.
Both Facebook and Gibbs have declined to comment.
Mr. Gibbs, who has worked for the Obama administration for two years, left in February 2011, and was reportedly "relaxing" and had denied rumors that he was planning to campaign for chairman of the Democratic National Committee if Tim Kaine were to leave the committee to run for a position in the senate.
In recent months, Facebook has stepped up lobbying the US capital to communicate its public image to policy makers, and may use Gibbs for their public relations stratagem in the future.

In that i discovered 4 legislation wherein the Universe kinds gravity.
I controlled to turn out and clarify 4 cosmic keys that construct the Universe specifically: The Titius Bode legislations; The Lagrangian issues, The Roche restrict and The Coanda influence. every thing in nature within the Universe applies those phenomena in how house kinds. The Titius Bode legislations: types the sun planetary format and annihilates Newtonian dogma that the sun approach varieties by any means via using the mass of the planets. The Lagrangian issues: holds fabric in place to shape the earrings round planets. The Roche restrict eliminates the concept stars and planets can collide or crash into one another. This explains among such a lot of different issues how the Tunguska occasion came about. The Coanda influence is a ratio that circulation types among house and fabric. It kinds the Universe in up to forming stars in spheres and forming galactica in circles.
Should you by no means have heard of those legislation using as gravity varieties then additionally learn why there's so little acknowledged approximately those laws?

Science is blamed for plenty of varied conspiracies yet these all are obscure and argumentative. we know there's something flawed inside what technological know-how is and what technology says. a person is one way or the other hiding whatever someplace and nobody places a finger at the button. these types of are there to guard the mum conspiracy from getting leaked. You quarter bout to learn the mum of the entire conspiracies in technology, that's why technology applies brain regulate by means of processing suggestion keep watch over.

Professional clinical fields are constructing at awfully quick speeds, yet what can they truly let us know approximately how the universe all started and the way we people developed to play this sort of dominant position on the earth? John fingers' terribly formidable quest is to assemble this clinical wisdom and review with no bias or preconception the entire theories and proof concerning the starting place and evolution of subject, existence, recognition, and humankind.
In keeping with the normal version of Cosmology, the full universe used to be created at a unmarried aspect in position and time, inflated quickly and persevered increasing to the universe we become aware of this day. How may the entire mass of the universe slot in a unmarried aspect? How may perhaps every little thing be made out of not anything? the place was once the entire strength earlier than the massive Bang?
Blossoming from a correspondence among Luce Irigaray and Michael Marder, via Vegetal Being is an extreme own, philosophical, and political meditation at the importance of the vegetal for our lives, our methods of considering, and our relationships with human and nonhuman beings. The vegetal international has the capability to rescue our planet and our species and provides us how to abandon earlier metaphysics with out falling into nihilism.


RV Videos: What happens when you drop a motorhome 150 feet?
What happens when you drop a motorhome 150 feet?
So. . . what would happen if you hoisted a Class A motorhome up about 150 feet and then let 'er drop straight down to Mother Earth? You can find out here in this one minute video from a Memorial Day stunt at Wisconsin Dells Raceway. This does not qualify for a top ranking in Stupid RVer tricks, but it's right up there in the "Why?" category!
Guess they didn't latch the front compartment door.
I fail to find humor in crushing some's dream vehicle.
Just goes to show the decline of civilization with the "Bread & Circus" crowds of today and their definition of "entertainment."
they need a longer ruler. That was not 150 feet.
Wow....seriously??? Some of you people need to lighten up, you are going to give yourselves strokes. Jeez!

Greg Reitan - West 60th
ID: aec.sys1542.2
West 60th Sunnyside
Review Text The cumulative brilliance shaped by three decades of composing and performing has made appearances by Greg Reitan special occurrences. The Los Angeles based pianist has been providing the jazz, classical and film worlds with exceptional compositional work and listeners have paid special attention to his trio's well-honed live performances. It was during an October 2017 appearance at New York's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola that the spark for Reitan's new recording, West 60th, was ignited. Inspired by the dramatic view of the city during soundcheck from the venue's perch atop Columbus Circle, Reitan wrote the waltz of the same name in his hotel room. The song became the centerpiece of his new album with longtime collaborators bassist Jack Daro and drummer Dean Koba.


The first to cultivate cocoa were the olmeceans who lived at the Gulf Coast in Mexico. The cocoa has probably been a trade item, as large amounts of stone, jade and other items have been found outside their home area. Recently, jars of organic residues have been found. The residues were examined for their content of theobromine . The cocoa tree is the only plant native to Central America that contains theobromim. Two samples were positive. Namely from El Manati on the Gulf Coast and Pasoda la Amada on the Pacific Ocean. With these samples, the time of cocoa cultivation has returned to at least 1500 BC, perhaps even 1750-1900 BC. Cocoa was thus part of the first Mesoamerican civilization. Otherwise, the earliest documented finding of cocoa from Belize 600 after Kr.
The Aztecs made a drink they called cacahuaatl '  of roasted cocoa beans, water and various ingredients, such as chili, vanilla, various herbs and flowers. The ingredients were whipped together into a cold, brownish mass. Where the drink was successful came a top with foam. The word chocolate has emerged after the Spaniards' conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519-1521). The last part let / ade comes from the Aztec word for water, atl. The first part choko is of uncertain origin. Often the origin of an Aztec word is laid out in chocolatl or xocoatl , which should mean bitter water. There is no evidence for this in classical Aztec sources such as Sahágun or Molina's dictionary. Linguistically you cannot change the sound x [sj] to ch [tj] in classical Aztec. If x had changed it should also have been a s-sound.
The first step in the preparation is to cut the cocoa beans with the surrounding flesh out of the cocoa fruits. The beans and the surrounding pulp are fermented together. The fruits are collected in baskets or fermentation boxes, here they are covered with banana leaves. The beans get the brown color during fermentation. In addition, it removes the germination capacity of the beans and promotes the cocoa flavor. After fermentation, the beans are dried in the sun. Next, the cocoa beans must be roasted and split. After this process, the skull can be more easily removed and during the roasting various flavoring agents are formed. The mass that remains is called the cocoa mass. The cocoa mass consists of approx. equal parts of cocoa powder and cocoa butter. The two components are separated by pressing. Chocolate is then prepared from varying amounts of cocoa and cocoa butter, as well as sugar, nuts or other ingredients.
Romantic legends identify chocolate as an aphrodisiac . The chocolate's infamous aphrodisiac qualities are most often associated with the simple, sensual pleasure of ingestion. In addition, the sweet and fatty nature of chocolate may stimulate the hypothalamus , by sensation of pleasure, as well as by the influence of serotonin levels. Serotonin has an effect of pleasure; In high concentrations, it can be converted to melatonin , which reduces the sexual desire in large quantities. Chocolate has been shown to contain unsaturated N- acyl ethanolamines which can activate cannabinoid receptors or increase the level of endocannabinoids , resulting in increased sensitivity and euphoria . Although there is no evidence that chocolate is really an aphrodisiac, chocolate gifts are a familiar courtesy ritual.
Unlike humans, common animals such as dogs , cats and horses cannot tolerate chocolate because of the cocoa's natural content of the substances theobromine and caffeine , which together with theophylline belong to the group of methylxanthine alkaloids. Theobromine stimulates the central nervous system by releasing adrenaline .
In dogs and cats, theobromine is absorbed through the liver and returned to the intestine with the bile, to start a new round. Instead of secreting the substances, the animal ends up in a poisoning cycle. In humans, the substances are secreted within 2-3 hours, at 14-20 hours in dogs and cats.
Adrenaline can in animals cause increased heart rate, hallucinations , severe diarrhea , epileptic seizures, myocardial infarction, internal bleeding and even death. Ca. 30 g of pure chocolate (equal to about 2 g of cocoa) per. kg body weight can cause serious poisoning in animals.

John Harris Robinson
John Harris Robinson: 1999—2000
John Robinson was born in December 1940, educated at Woodhouse Grove School and, after graduating in chemical engineering from the University of Birmingham, he began his career in industry as a Technical Officer with ICI in 1962 before moving to Fisons in 1965 where he was appointed Works Co-ordinator. Five years later he joined PA Management Consultants, becoming Senior Consultant, before joining Smith & Nephew in 1979.
He started his Smith & Nephew career as Managing Director of their medical division based in Hull and in 1981 was appointed a Director of the Main Board and also a member of the Group Management Executive in the same year.
He became responsible for the Group's UK and European operations in 1985 and was then appointed Chief Executive in 1990 and eventually Chairman in 1997. Smith & Nephew became increasingly a science-based business and during his period as Chief Executive this was a major activity leading to a close involvement with several universities. These included York (through the Smith & Nephew Group Research Centre based on the Science Park), Cambridge and Imperial. In addition he served on the Birmingham University Business School Advisory Panel for four years and is Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council at the University of Hull (a university where he has also been a Life Governor since 1984).
Aside from his chairmanship of Smith & Nephew, John Robinson was also appointed as Chairman of Low & Bonar plc in 1997, and RJB Mining plc in the same year, and has also been a non-executive Director of Delta plc from 1993. Other organisations to have sought his expertise include the Department of Trade & Industry, as Chairman of the Healthcare Sector Group of their Overseas Project Board and the Confederation of British Industry, as Chairman of their Technology & Innovation Committee.
He became a Fellow of the Institution in 1983 and he was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1998. His active involvement with IChemE started in 1997 when he was elected on to Council before taking on the role of Deputy President in 1998.
He has also been appointed as Chairman of Wimpey, to take effect from the same day as he takes on the role of IChemE President.
IChemE is a registered charity in England & Wales (214379), and a charity registered in Scotland (SC 039661)

The inaugural Stephen H. Davis Symposium will honor the retirement of Stephen Davis, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Applied Mathematics and McCormick Institute Professor. Professor Davis's contributions to fluid mechanics and materials science are well known, and the symposium will celebrate his many fundamental and impactful contributions to the field.

Symposium Speakers
Professor, Fluid Dynamics, University of Cambridge
Experiments in ESPCI in Paris and numerical simulations in Darmstadt have shown that plates with herringbone grooves in their base are accelerated on a smooth air-table in the direction that the chevron grooves point, while smooth plates on an air-table with herringbone grooves are accelerated in the opposite direction. Newton's third law? Not quite. Hinch will discuss a simple two-dimensional model that is constructed of the air flow down a long channel with pressure-controlled influx across the lower boundary: lubrication theory with inertia or boundary layers without an outer flow. Limiting cases are considered of low and high Reynolds numbers, and of small and large pressure drop down the channel compared with the pressure drop across the porous plate; all tested against numerical solutions. The levitation and locomotion forces are calculated, with a relatively simple prediction for the locomotive acceleration; which fits the experimental data with plausible excuses.
Hinch received his education at Cambridge University, graduating with a BA in mathematics in 1968 and a PhD in 1972 on the "Mechanics of suspensions of particles in fluids, with an additional section on the convection due to a moving heat source." After a half-year postdoc at Caltech, he returned to a faculty position at Cambridge University, and since 1998 has served as a professor of fluid mechanics. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the Royal Society of London, and a foreign member of the National Academy of Engineering.
G.M. "Bud" Homsy
Affiliate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington
Homsy will discuss his work on interfacial flows that was inspired by and influenced by Stephen H. Davis, including interfacial instabilities in the presence of chemical reactions (reactive viscous fingering); flows driven by interfacial electrical stresses (electrospraying, chaotic advection); and problems involving contact line dynamics (evaporation over rough surfaces and coating over topography).
Homsy received his BS at the University of California, Berkeley, his MS and PhD at the University of Illinois, and completed a NATO postdoctoral fellowship at Imperial College, London. He has had faculty appointments at Stanford University, UC Santa Barbara, University of British Columbia - Vancouver, and University of Washington. Homsy has made contributions in the areas of hydrodynamic stability, flow through porous media, thermal convection, fluid-particle systems, interfacial flows, and non-Newtonian flows. His honors include election to the US National Academy of Engineering in 2006 and to the Washington State Academy of Sciences in 2015.
Professor, Physics of Fluids, University of Twente
While the evaporation of a single component droplet is well understood, the richness of phenomena in multicomponent droplet evaporation keeps surprising. Lohse's talk will show and explain several such phenomena, namely evaporation-triggered segregation, due to either weak solutal Marangoni flow or gravitational effects, and the evaporation of ternary liquid droplet, which can lead to spontaneous nucleation of droplets consisting of a new phase. He will also show how this new phase can be utilized to self-lubricate the droplet in order to suppress the coffee stain effects. The research shown in this talk combines experiments, numerical simulations, and theory.
Detlef Lohse studied physics at the Universities of Kiel & Bonn (Germany) and earned his PhD at the University of Marburg. He then joined the University of Chicago as a postdoc. After his habilitation (Marburg, 1997), he became chair at University of Twente in the Netherlands and built up the Physics of Fluids group. His present research interests include turbulence and multiphase flow, micro- and nanofluidics (bubbles, drops, inkjet printing, wetting), and granular and biomedical flow. He does both fundamental and applied science and combines experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods.
Parviz Moin
Founding Director of the Center for Turbulence Research and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering, Stanford University
With the exponential growth in computer power, high fidelity numerical simulations have provided unprecedented comprehensive datasets for the study of the mechanics of turbulent flows. Moin will share a brief review of fundamental research on the structure of wall-bounded turbulent flows with particular emphasis on the role played by large scale numerical simulations in conducting controlled experiments of discovery and the insights gained as a result. On the other hand, the early promise of direct numerical simulations to provide data to improve engineering models has not been fulfilled. He will expand on this in the context of lessons learned of the limitations of data science in the development of physical models.
Moin is the Franklin P. and Caroline M. Johnson Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Founding Director of the Center for Turbulence Research and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. He has pioneered the use of direct numerical simulation for the study of turbulence physics and has written widely on the structure of turbulent shear flows. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences.

Best Places to Live in Washington D.C. for Families
Graci Woodworth
By Graci Woodworth and Jaclyn Pitt, Storage.com
Finding your place in this world can be pretty difficult, not to mention how hard it can be to move there. Storage.com is here to help with the moving process, either by providing storage or helping you find the ideal place to call home.
Buzzing with some of the most historic culture in the country, the Nation's Capital isn't just a home for politicians and lawyers. Beyond the hustle of H Street, Washington D.C. boasts quaint streets and idyllic neighborhoods for both growing and established families.
Below, you'll find our list of the five best neighborhoods for families looking to make their home in D.C.

Crime rate: Capitol Hill is safer than 35% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Unemployment rate: 6.2%
Just east of the Capitol Dome lies the flourishing neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Continuously luring in new residents with its rich history and charm, it's far from uncommon for homes in this neighborhood to sell for more than their listing price. Strewn with endless views of federal-style row houses and townhomes, Capitol Hill is a well-known hot spot for young families and starter homes.
The area is brimming with a variety of shops, entertainment, and delectable cuisine. Head on over to America's Main Street, better known as Pennsylvania Avenue, and grab a slice with some homemade Italian soda at We, The Pizza, or dine with your pup on the patio at Art and Soul. No really, they have a menu for dogs. Looking to catch some rays where the kids can play? Loungers and pet owners flock to the seven grassy acres of paradise in Lincoln Park, named after, you guessed it, Abraham Lincoln. With something to do around every corner, Capitol Hill offers just the right blend of community and spontaneity for young and growing families.
Crime rate: The Palisades is safer than 94% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Nestled along the Potomac River and Georgetown University, The Palisades has drawn in an abundance of families for many years. This scenic residential neighborhood in D.C. is peppered with a variety of picturesque bungalows, townhouses, and colonial-style homes, along with the occasional modern structure.
Home to the notable Francis Scott Key Elementary School, much of The Palisades' residential streets become minimal through traffic. But when residents aren't soaking up the stunning riverfront sunsets, you can find them browsing through the Palisades Farmers market (which is up and running year-round), hiking the peaceful woodland trails of Potomac Overlook Regional Park, or kicking back at a local favorite eatery. Seafood lovers in the area swear by BlackSalt Fish Market & Restaurant. For families looking for the delicate balance of city life and the outdoors, a home in The Palisades is the perfect match.
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY PARK

Quick Facts (Au-Tenleytown area)
Crime rate: Au-Tenleytown is safer than 76% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Located in the Northwest quadrant of The Capital City, many families call American University Park home-sweet-home. A walk through this well-kept neighborhood will reveal a multitude of single-family homes, many of which are donned with front porches or stoops. While there's plenty of businesses and shops lining the nearby stretch of Wisconsin Avenue, the heart of this area is quiet and secluded.
Known for holding some of the best public schools in D.C., the residents here have a desirable sense of community that is hard to beat. Get some fresh air with the kids at Turtle Park, equipped with a stone turtle and several play areas, or indulge in some tasty Mexican food at Guapo's Restaurant. Whether you're in the mood for a staycation or a busy day on the town, American University Park offers its inhabitants the best of both worlds.

Crime rate: Georgetown is safer than 82% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Formerly called home by several early Presidents, including Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy, the established neighborhood of Georgetown captivates the hearts of its residents with old-world beauty. This historic port-town is set back along the Potomac River, strewn with row houses, Gothic architecture, and of course, the stately Georgetown University. The area also holds the District of Columbia Public Library, and several preparatory schools, such as Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School and Georgetown Day School.
Georgetown dwellers are just a short walk from river views in the lawn of Georgetown Waterfront Park, as well as the trail alongside The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Brunch lovers can enjoy their weekly dose at Sequoia, a popular spot with water views and live jazz. A visionary setting for families who long for a little peace and quiet without having to leave the city, Georgetown is simply one of the best.

Crime rate: Chevy Chase is safer than 68% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Made up of far more than cherry blossom trees and politically-savvy residents, Chevy Chase is suburbia at its finest. Settled just east of Rock Creek Park, this hilly neighborhood is blooming with the kind of small-town culture you won't find in the city. The crime rate in Chevy Chase is extremely low, making it renowned as one of the safest neighborhoods in the D.C. area. Homes in the area are an eclectic blend of bungalows, Tudors, and colonials.
Between its tremendous schools, independent shops (head over to Politics & Prose for a killer bookstore-coffeehouse duo), and spirited population, the Chevy Chase lifestyle is contagious to families of all ages and sizes.

Crime rate: Dupont Circle is safer than 52% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Referred to as the "Heart of Washington", Dupont Circle is located in the "Old City" of Washington. Centered around its traffic circle are plenty of rowhouses, some of which are quite trendy while others are conveniently affordable.
Dupont Circle is a beautiful, historic neighborhood and is a great location to be on foot. Tour the Woodrow Wilson House on Embassy Row and soak in the pop culture of the 20s and rare White House memorabilia. The Phillips Collection houses many famous artists' work such as van Gogh, O'Keefe, Picasso, and more. The Dupont Circle Fountain and Park is a common area where you can play chess, soak up sun on the well-manicured grass, or read a book on the curved benches.
Crime rate: Petworth is safer than 84% of the cities in the District of Columbia.
Located near northwest Washington, Petworth is lined with historic brick rowhouses and a mix of apartments and townhouses. You won't find many chain stores in this neighborhood, but an abundance of independent businesses instead—kept up and running by the locals. This area is looked upon as a family-friendly and close-knit community full of diverse cultures, ethnicity, and professions.
Residents count down the days to the Petworth Community Market every year, which occurs on Saturdays during May through November. The neighbors come together to showcase fresh food, art, music, and dance! Residents of Petworth are proud to live in this urban neighborhood and show it through their Celebrate Petsworth festival during the summer and Upshur Street Arts & Crafts Fair in the winter.

Kids on Deck, our regular Sunday and School Holiday family program for primary school aged children and their carers, celebrates its 20th birthday this year.
Inspired by the Wildlife Photographer exhibition and our upcoming Sea-side Strollers sessions this month's craft spot is devoted to wilderness themed sensory play resources, it's a craft activity that is not necessarily done with kids but crafted for very young children.
Casting and mould making are simultaneously the stuff of specialised artistic and scientific endeavours and the backbone of mass production.
Do you know a toddler who is bonkers for bubbles, mad about messy play, sweet on ships, or wild about water in all its shapes and forms? We thought we would use our monthly craft spot this August to share our top 5 maritime-y science-y activities for early learners as a way to celebrate National Science Week.
There's almost no end to the fun that can be had when kids have torches in their hands. Shadow play, bedroom projections, reading under the covers after lights out, spooky face stories, or… a handheld miniature planetarium.
For this month's craft spot we were inspired by the subjects of acclaimed author and artist Jeannie Baker's new book Circle, showcased in an exhibition of her collages opening this Thursday.
It's almost unavoidable, if you have small children in your world, at some point they will probably ask for a pirate party.
There's just something about lighthouses that inspires a good story. Those charming beacons, perched atop cliffs, wrapped in red and white stripes, beaming out into the wild and wonderful wide-open sea for all the ships to see.
Down in Antarctica there are penguins, bergs and impasto blue skies; ice white shores, swirling winds and wondrous wilderness.
Down in the bottom of the deep blue sea, there are strange and wonderful things. Fish that glow in the dark or squirt bellyfuls of slime, one metre wide jellies and snaggle-toothed fearsome slithering things.

Republicans: Murphy's Rosy Address Not Based in Reality
Oroho, Bucco cite crime, budget increases, learning loss not being addressed
Two Republican North Jersey State Senators said that Gov. Phil Murphy's State of the State speech did not address the concerns that New Jerseyans have, a theme expected to be used this election year by the GOP.
State Senate Minority Leader Steve Oroho (R-24) said that despite the rosy picture Gov. Murphy is trying to paint, the state of the state is not good.
"After five years of the Murphy administration and two decades of full Democrat control of the Legislature, the outlook for New Jersey continues to get worse," said Oroho. "We have the highest taxes, the most debt, and the worst business climate in the nation. Every year when national rankings come out, New Jersey is dead last."
Budget Issues
Oroho said the state's budget process is out of control, with spending up nearly 50% since Murphy took office.
"Democrats continue to show no shame in tacking on billions in pork every year with no legitimate review or oversight," he said. "While they're busy wasting billions on pet projects, they've failed to effectively manage the cost of benefits for hundreds of thousands of public workers. This year, that's resulted in huge increases in health care premiums for local governments that will lead to spikes in property taxes across New Jersey."
Non-use of Federal Funds
Oroho would go on to list a number of areas where costs have risen and questioned where has the federal aid gone that could be used to make New Jersey more affordable.
"Over the last three years, they've squandered billions—billions—in pandemic relief funds that New Jersey received through the CARES and American Rescue Plan acts," he said. "Instead of solving big problems with those federal relief funds, like fixing our broken unemployment and motor vehicle computer systems, Democrats have absolutely nothing to show for the windfall we received."
Lawmakers brought up the issue of learning loss that the Murphy Administration refuses to address, made worse by school funding cuts to hundreds of school districts enacted by the Democratic legislative majority.
"Instead of focusing on improving student achievement in reading, writing, and math, Governor Murphy and Democrats have politicized our schools by injecting their radical ideologies into state education standards, which ends up being a time-wasting distraction in our children's classrooms," said the Sussex County lawmaker. "Parents are upset and rightly so. They feel like they've been denied a voice in their children's education, and they've been mocked and chastised by Democrats when they've come to Trenton to express concern."
"Those parents deserve to be heard."
State Sen. Anthony Bucco (R-25) characterized Murphy's speech as being "tone-deaf" as Garden State residents suffer from the burdens of high inflation, increased taxes, rising crime, and soaring energy costs.
Crime Concerns
"Since taking office in 2018, Gov. Murphy has weakened New Jersey with higher taxes and increased spending, which has only worsened the financial burden of families across the state," said Bucco. "There's no doubt New Jersey families are worse off today than they were five years ago as their pocketbooks have been decimated by soaring energy costs, growing tax bills, and record-high inflation."
Bucco, who has worked on a bipartisan auto theft bill State Sen. Richard Codey (D-27) that Murphy said he would sign, attacked the governor for allowing crime to grow in the state.
"Many communities are worried that the Murphy administration has enabled a sense of lawlessness throughout the state," he said. "After Gov. Murphy granted early release to thousands of inmates and tied the hands of police when dealing with rowdy teens, New Jersey witnessed a surge in crime, including an epidemic of car thefts and home invasions."
The issue of crime was married by Oroho with the recent concealed carry law that was ruled as struck down in court earlier this week.
"Instead of standing up for the rights of citizens to protect themselves and live in safe communities, the Governor and Trenton Democrats have enacted unconstitutional restrictions on law-abiding firearm owners," he said. "This week, a federal judge issued a scathing rebuke along with a restraining order to prevent parts of that unconstitutional new law, which we told the administration was unconstitutional from being enforced."
The legislators up for re-election this year offered that Republicans are a better alternative to the Democrats when it comes to addressing the concerns of New Jersey residents.
"So whether you're talking about our state's high taxes, out-of-control spending, our dismal business climate, rising energy bills, lack of support for students, lack of respect for parents, rising crime, or attacks on constitutional rights – all the direct result of Democrat policies – it should be clear we can do better," said Oroho.
"Governor Murphy can start by listening to Republicans who have offered sensible solutions to all these problems. New Jersey may be on the wrong track for now, but we're showing it doesn't have to stay that way."
Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio (R-23) added that "there's a lot of things that have been done that have people riled up – in the classroom, in their pocketbooks, and in other things done to them. I believe we have a lot to talk about in the next 11 months."

FDU Poll: Young Voters in NJ Are More Progressive, But Not Necessarily Democrats

"Democrats have politicized our schools" Wow! The projection and total lack of self awareness from the regressive right is just astounding! Parents feel left out of the discussion? Ok, and what do red states do? They ban books statewide and literally fire teachers for the crime of mentioning the existence of public libraries. Where's the parent input on that? Where's the independence of local school districts in Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma? What clowns.

Not My Job: What Does John Lithgow Know About Flops?
Since he's so successful onstage, we're going to ask him three questions about failures. He'll take a quiz about terrible new products, from Daily Finance's Top 25 Biggest Product Flops Of All Time.
And now the game where we ask somebody who's done a lot of cool things to do one silly thing, it's called Not My Job.
Actor and author and singer John Lithgow has won numerous awards for his performances ranging from the goofy alien patriarch in "Third Rock from the Sun" to a demonic serial killer on "Dexter." He's also written bestselling children's books, won Tony awards on Broadway in dramatic and musical roles and, look, I'm getting tired just reading his resume. John Lithgow, welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
JOHN LITHGOW: Hey, delighted to be here.
SAGAL: Well, we're excited to talk to you particularly because we are here in Cincinnati, Ohio, and you, sir, I am told, are a Buckeye.
LITHGOW: Yes, I am. Until about 11 years old, I lived in Yellow Springs, and Cincinnati was my first city.
LITHGOW: Is that everybody applauding out there?
SAGAL: Yeah, they're excited for your Ohio patriotism.
LITHGOW: Well, they still claim me, and I'm delighted to be claimed. I loved growing up in Ohio.
SAGAL: And I wanted to ask this because one of the things I'm fascinated with by you, in addition to your range of pursuits, which is impressive in itself, your range of acting performances is really amazing. Usually guys are heavies or heroes. You do both. You were within the span of - you've won Emmys for both the very funny, goofy patriarch on "Third Rock from the Sun" not to mention your amazing work in "Harry and the Hendersons."
SAGAL: And you also played horrible villains in "Blowout" with John Travolta, in "Cliffhanger" and most memorably in "Dexter."
MO ROCCA: And in "Footloose."
PETER GROSZ: Oh, that was a great character.
SAGAL: You were the repressive father in "Footloose." So the question is: From where do you draw - do you use your Ohio background most for the good guys or most for the evil guys?
LITHGOW: Well, I don't know. The closest thing I've come to playing a man of Ohio roots was the adulterous banker in "Terms of Endearment."
LITHGOW: Yeah, when I showed up in Lincoln, Nebraska, to play that part, that was the most intense déjà vu experience. I really felt like I was coming how. I know Ohioans don't regard Cornhuskers as their brothers and sisters, but that was the closest I've come to really playing a Buckeye.
SAGAL: Right because when you were growing up here, you were of course having an affair with Debra Winger, as so many Ohioans did.
ROCCA: You're so great in that movie. I love in the checkout line when the cashier is really rude to Debra Winger, and you stand up for her. It's great.
LITHGOW: Well, you know, he was a good-hearted, sincere, earnest fellow, deeply frustrated sexually.
SAGAL: How is it that one actor can play such good, goofy guys and such insane - like I have a friend who found your performance as a murderer in "Dexter" so disturbing that he just turned off the show and couldn't watch it anymore.
LITHGOW: Yeah, well, I think it comes from growing up doing Shakespeare. My father was a producer of Shakespeare, of four different Shakespeare festivals in Ohio, of all places. And if you think of the whole Shakespearian canon, the same guy who played Iago played Sir Andrew Aguecheek. You know, Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet," but he also wrote "Comedy of Errors."
SAGAL: Did you do any - did you perform in any of your father's companies? Did you ever...?
LITHGOW: Oh yeah, yeah, he was the first person to hire me.
LITHGOW: I had nepotistic beginnings.
SAGAL: We also - and this one of our favorite roles when we were looking it up is you of course played an alien, as we all know, in "Third Rock," but you played an alien before that. You were Yoda in the NPR radio version of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back."
SAGAL: So we were wondering, I mean, we don't want to put you on the spot. We want to - we would love to hear your Yoda.
LITHGOW: (as Yoda) Oh, (unintelligible).
SAGAL: That is really good.
LITHGOW: You laugh. I deliver it.
(As Grover) Now I am getting closer. Now I am getting further.
SAGAL: So you went along with him. And you write kids' books. So have you - which are wonderful, and I read a bunch of them to my kids and played your kids' CDs, like "Singing in the Bathtub" is a great one.
SAGAL: It's funny, I just realized I had this very vivid memory. When I was a kid, being somewhat older than, say, children now, I listened to Burl Ives records and loved them. So I knew Burl Ives. And then I grew up, and I saw, like, Burl Ives play, for example Big Daddy in the movie of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." So there's my favorite warm-hearted, bearded kids' singer, saying I'm gonna get me a woman.
LITHGOW: I know, that's what I always tell - don't tell the kids about "Dexter."
SAGAL: Yeah, I know, because - but you've been doing the kids' books and the kids' songs long enough that it could happen any day that some kid is going to be sitting on Netflix or wherever and watching "Dexter," and you're going to pop up, and that kid will spend the rest of two weeks in the fetal position.
ROCCA: Madonna also writes kids' books. That must be wild for kids who are introduced to Madonna from her kids' books and then want to see what it's like when she does kids' performances.
GROSZ: What's this other three-letter book, S-E-X? What is this book?
SAGAL: I just want to say this because I have strong feelings about this. It is true that there are other celebrities who have taken advantage of their celebrity and written kids' books. And I want to say that unlike a lot of those other kid books, having read a lot of them, Mr. Lithgow's kids' books are actually good.
ROCCA: Right, no his are good.
SAGAL: Yeah, I know, and Kim Kardashian's, you don't want to know.
ROCCA: But Charles Manson's are pretty good.
LITHGOW: I will say that all my kids' books are market tested. I sort of walk the walk. I do continue to give kids' concerts, and selfishly, they are just a wonderful counterpoint to adult audiences. You know, we actors, we're always after a suspension of disbelief. You never quite achieve it with grownups. They know you're acting. But kids are completely open to a suspension of disbelief.
LITHGOW: They're so stupid, basically.
GROSZ: You said it, Lithgow.
CARL KASELL: We'll call it New Coke.
SAGAL: So everybody's talking about the disaster that was the Obamacare website launch, but believe it or not, it may not be the worst product launch in history. We're going to ask you questions about three terrible new products, taken from a list on the business site Daily Finance. Answer two questions correctly, and you'll win our prize for one of our listeners. Carl, who is our guest playing for?
KASELL: John is playing for Marie LePage of Cincinnati, Ohio.
SAGAL: Now, are you ready to play?
SAGAL: Here we go. First question. Clairol tried a new shampoo that didn't just catch on for some reason. Was it which of these: A, Clairol Lite, 35 Calorie Shampoo; B, Clairol Touch of Yogurt Shampoo; C, Clairol Trust Us, Pour It In Your Eyes Shampoo.
LITHGOW: I will say trust - Clairol Yogurt.
SAGAL: Yes, Touch of Yogurt Shampoo.
LITHGOW: Super Duper Fun Juice.
SAGAL: You're going for Super Duper Fun Juice?
SAGAL: No, it was actually Cocaine.
ROCCA: How was it spelled?
SAGAL: Like Cocaine in the traditional manner. The FDA decided that was not appropriate, and it was pulled from the shelves.
ROCCA: And did you drink it through your mouth?
SAGAL: Yes, you did. People were apparently confused.
GROSZ: That's why it didn't work.
SAGAL: Well, this is very exciting, so if you get this right, our audience member wins. Here we go. Sometimes the most successful lines of products go one step too far, for example, which of these from the Barbie line of dolls from Mattel. Was it: A, Lady of the Night Barbie; B, Magic Earring Ken, in which Ken has one earring, a mesh t-shirt, and a purple leather vest; or C, Depressed Housewife Barbie, which came with her own little Zoloft pills.
LITHGOW: Oh, they all sound like excellent products.
ROCCA: You've played all of them.
LITHGOW: I will say - what was the earring...?
LITHGOW: It has to be Magic Earring Ken.
SAGAL: And it is, well done.
LITHGOW: I think this time you guys have gone too far.
SAGAL: Apparently, but Magic Earring Ken, which was introduced in the stores, quickly got a new nickname, which was Gay Ken, and Mattel decided this wasn't going to work.
ROCCA: Magic Earring Ken is what Barbie into Depressed Housewife Barbie.
SAGAL: Carl, how did our John Lithgow do on our quiz?
KASELL: Well, John, you had two correct answers, and that's enough to win for Marie LaPage.
SAGAL: John Lithgow's latest children's book is "Never Play Music Right Next To The Zoo." It's out now. Pick it up for your kid. John Lithgow, thank you so much for being with us, great to talk to you on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
