Tonight on the Heroes Season Finale: A Season One regular will die, Nathan and Sylar will face off, and Hiro and Ando will try to take down Building 26. And a whole lot more!
Read on for the full account of the end of Heroes Volume 4, "Fugitives," plus the teaser for Volume 5, "Redemption."
We open on Matt Parkman, who is traveling back toward Washington D.C. to help Hiro and Ando take down Danko's gang of hero hunters.
Outside Arlington, HRG, Claire and Angela pass construction workers who are actually a cover for waiting agents ahead. Angela wakes up in the back seat from a dream about Nathan. "He's… in trouble." She says. HRG realizes that they've just passed through a trap. He stops the car and tells Claire and Angela to run 2 miles into the city while he buys them time. He gives Claire a cell phone and tells them to get to Nathan. He tells Claire he loves her, and the women leave as he drives toward the roadblock. He's stopped by officers, and armed agents surround the vehicle.
In Nathan's office (with an unconscious Nathan), we see again how Danko stabs Sylar in the base of the skull, but he gets up and takes out the knife. He looks at Danko. "That hurt. Shape shifting. Yo've got to love it, right? The changes just don't happen on the outside. His off-switch… he moved it. He slams Danko against the wall. Sylar says he has plans for Danko, his agents, and Nathan, whom he says he will kill later. After he absorbs all of Nathan's memories, thanks to the power of clairsentience that Angela gifted him. Sylar plans to become Nathan, attend the President's speech at a hotel tomorrow, and meet with the President after. Just to shake his hand. Soon he will be the most powerful man in the world. Danko tells Sylar to kill him now, but Sylar says he doesn't need to kill him, because soon no one will believe a word he says. Sylar shifts into Danko, picks up his gun and opens the door, leaving Danko paralyzed against the wall. He stands in the doorway and fires shots at Danko's agents running in to help. He goes back inside, releases the real Danko, and shifts into Agent Taub. Taub yells, "I got him! He's in here!" and holds Danko at gunpoint. "You son of a bitch," Danko says.
Angela and Claire arrive in D.C. and Claire worries about HRG getting caught. Angela reminds her that parents will go to extreme lengths to protect their children. Angela tells Claire they need to split. Claire will go find Nathan, and Angela needs to find Matt Parkman. In her dream, Parkman saves Nathan's life. Claire asks why Angela can't just tell Nathan how to avoid danger, and Angela says she can't change what she dreams, but she can help push its outcome. The women part ways, and Angela says she will find Claire soon.
Sylar puts on his Senator suit in front of a mirror. He's dragged Nathan into the bathroom with him, and begins kicking and slapping him to wake up. He needs Nathan to be awake in order to get his memories. He can't wake him up, and decides he has enough memories from all of Nathan's possessions lying around his office, including differing stories about his academic career–"Politicians," Sylar shakes his head. With his back turned, Petrelli's secretary comes in and says his daughter is here to see him. Sylar turns around as Nathan and tells her to send her in.
Sylar (as Nathan) greets Claire, and she asks if he found Sylar. He says yes, but he got away, and is going to the hotel to meet the President in an hour. He will intercept the President first and intercept him, and blow the lid off it all if he has to. Claire asks how she knows this is Nathan and not Sylar. He says, "I'm me." He touches her necklace. "We spent a lot of time together," and mentions Mexico. She says sorry. He tells her to stay there while he cleans up this mess, and she asks to come along. She wants to help stop Sylar and make a difference. He tells her to come along. He says if things go south, he wants her right by his side. They walk out together.
Beginning of Volume Five: "Redemption."
Cut to Three Months Later:
Kent Harper, a former Building 26 agent, comes home at night and sees his apartment is flooding from a clogged sink. He steps into the water and walks through his kitchen, confused. The water collects in a large puddle, and rises up into a human form–Tracy. She looks at him, raises her hand and says, "You're number four."
Cut to Nathan, looking at a newspaper in his office with the headline: "Fourth mysterious drowning baffles authorities." He slams down the paper and appears to think. Angela walks in and says, "I haven't heard from you in weeks. I was beginning to worry."
He gets up and greets her, still sullen. "Sorry, I haven't felt like myself lately." She hugs him and reassures him that it's a great time for him. The world is his oyster. The famiy is back together. He gives a distracted, weak smile, and she asks if he can hear her.
He walks away to his cabinet, and looks at a clock. He grabs the clock and says, "It's just this clock. It's running a minute and a half fast." He fixes it and closes the case.
"So. Lunch?"
Angela stands in horror, looking at the clock.
To be continued…


text: As Apple's new iPad arrives in households across the world, developers are updating their apps to take advantage of the fantastic new Retina display. Truth be told, however, some apps look better than others -- especially photo apps. As I recently sat in a restaurant booth flipping through the dazzling high-res images using the Fotopedia app (which received a Retina display update this morning), a waitress stopped in her tracks to check out the screen. She was studying photography, but hadn't yet seen what the new iPad can do with artistic works. It's nothing short of jaw-dropping. Here are some of our favorite image-focused iPad apps optimized for the Retina display, whether for your personal portfolio of images, or just to learn about and admire the world around us. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WiredFotopedia We mentioned Fotopedia in our list of apps Apple should show off at the iPad's unveiling, and we still think it's stellar eye candy for its Retina display. Fotopedia is not one, but a collection of differently themed apps that are essentially a form of photographic storytelling. The subjects span internationally focused topics like Japan, Europe and Women of the World. All of the content is updated at least once a week. And lucky for us, Fotopedia has just updated seven of its apps for the Retina display: In addition to the titles above, there's Heritage (essentially a bunch of landmarks), Paris, North Korea, Dreams of Burma and my personal favorite, Wild Friends. It's iPad photojournalism at its best, with vibrant full-screen images and descriptive accompanying captions. There's a few different ways you can choose to take in its high-resolution content: You can browse through all of the photos of each collection, which number in the hundreds or thousands depending on the app, or shuffle through them to mix it up. You can view a slideshow of images, which adds a brief transition in between each photo. Or you can view by stories, an aggregation of half a dozen or more related images added to the app weekly -- for Wild Friends, you've got stories like Underwater Magic, Svalbard, and Predators. Fotopedia had to take in a number of considerations when updating its apps for Retina display. "It was a little bit tricky," senior vice president Christophe Daligault said. "You've got to combine three things to make people happy: image resolution, performance and download size." The company was actually able to improve the architecture of the app to make the download size smaller than it was before. And to ensure speedy performance, the app loads images at the old, lower resolution, and when it detects you're using a new iPad, updates it within fractions of a second to four times the number of pixels. The switch is imperceptible to the naked eye. The only negative: Fotopedia's apps require a data connection, so you've got to be on Wi-Fi or 3G/4G to use the app. Free, Fotopedia site.Flipboard Flipboard is the ultimate iPad magazine, compiling photographs and articles from subject areas you enjoy, like Technology and Science, as well as from social media streams such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and photography destinations like Flickr and 500 Pixels. Flipboard dynamically arranges visual and editorial content in a paper-like spread, the pages of which you can flip through like a real newspaper or magazine. Text is rendered crisp and black on a white background. Tap an article to see it expand to the full 9.7-inches of your iPad's display, or tap an image to experience it on a larger scale. One of my favorite things is to flip through Flipboard Picks for a curated selection of recent top stories and amazing images. One big bummer: Though Flipboard has been optimized for the new iPad, art from the sources that pop up in your personalized digital magazine occasionally aren't. Free, download link.Art Authority Photographs aren't the only images the new iPad is good for. From 15th century Donatello sculptures to abstract expressionist pieces from Jackson Pollack, the Art Authority app is essentially a virtual museum of over 50,000 high-resolution artistic works available in full-screen or near full-screen mode on the iPad. Like an actual art museum, pieces are organized into related collections: Renaissance, Baroque, Impressionism, Contemporary. Once you dive into one of these "rooms," you can get even more specific by choosing a subcategory like Surrealism, Minimalism, or Abstract art. From the directory button on the app's main menu, you can discover and experience art in a more serendipitous fashion by shuffling Art Authority's works, or check out a selection of prominent pieces in the Highlights section. You can also search or browse by artist name, either from the main menu, or from within a specific genre. If you find works you particularly like, you can add them to a Favorites collection so you can check them out again later. The only downside to this app is that although you can zoom in on pieces, that level of fine detail isn't necessarily maintained when you drill down to the individual brush-stroke level. Regardless, it's a must for art aficionados of any level (or anyone taking an art history course). $4.99, download link.Pulse News for iPad Perhaps slightly less photo-centric than some of the other titles on the list, Pulse News is none-the-less a visually stunning way to get your daily dose of news. Pulse News arranges articles horizontally by publication, with a neat rectangular thumbnail image and the headline below. Scroll to the left to check out less recently posted articles, or flick down the page to view content from other sources. You get to choose exactly what publications show up in the app, in what order, and on what page, and you can choose everything from Bloomberg Businessweek to MTV News to Make Magazine to Wired. If you're more generally interested in a specific area, you can also choose a "pack" like Fashion, Politics, or Food pre-populated with leading sources for that subject area. When you select a story you'd like to read, it slides in from the right to take up about half of the screen, neatly organized with a headline, large lead image (when one's available), followed by the article text. If you click the headline, it takes you out of the app to the publication's website. If you have five to ten favorite tech or news sites you hit each day, Pulse News is an efficient way to get their content and view it in an iPad-friendly way. Free, download linkThe Daily The Daily is the first news, sports and entertainment publication designed specifically to bring you fresh content on your iPad each day. With Retina display-optimized text and graphics, you'll never want to reach for an inky old newspaper again. The Daily's app and its stories are designed from the get-go for tablet consumption. You can flick through to get all of the day's content, or jump from section to section if you're more interested in just Business or Apps & Tech. This daily news publication is heavy on the graphics and photos, and also features interactive content like videos, making it a prime choice for downloading onto your shiny new iPad. The first two weeks of this app are free, after that you can pay $1 per week, or get a yearly subscription for $40. Free, download link.500px 500px, the online photo sharing community, has a terrific iPad app for viewing and sharing gorgeous images. 500px actually isn't Retina display-ready at this time -- it's update should be available in the App Store next week, according to the company's CEO -- but enough of the images are of high enough resolution and quality that we couldn't leave it out of this roundup. "We did not feel it was necessary to rush a new Retina version of our app since our application is about the photos, and the photos look fantastic already," 500px's iOS developer Ash Furrow told Wired. "And we're pretty proud that Apple chose to feature our app on their test devices at the new iPad media event." The app opens with a selection of the site's most popular photos, which can include everything from a pair of prairie dogs to fantastic views of towering skyscrapers. Other sections you can check out include Editors picks, Upcoming, a selection of new content under Fresh, as well as images you or your friends have uploaded and your favorites. And if you're only interested in seeing photos centered around a certain subject, like dogs, you can also search 500px. Images are arranged in a neat four by three grid, and you can tap an image to enter full-screen mode. When an image is open, you can drag upwards on the image title at the bottom of the screen to reveal comments on the photograph, and add your own to the conversation. Free, download link.iTunes Movie Trailers iTunes Movie Trailers, which shows 1080p movie trailers and clips on your iPad's Retina display, is an absolute must for movie-buffs. For some movie titles, like the current teen blockbuster du jour The Hunger Games and Disney's sci-fi film John Carter, there's a gallery of images which includes movie posters and other publicity material, as well as stills and behind-the-scenes shots from the film. If you're not sure about what movie to see, or you're mildly obsessed with an upcoming title, Movie Trailers is one of the best ways to get movie info (like a synopsis, its release date, and cast members), images and video on the new iPad. Free, download link.Vogue I doubt I'd ever be called a fashion maven by any stretch of the imagination, but high-res, haute couture fashion on the iPad? Yes, please. If you're not a regular Vogue subscriber, there's a handful of free content available upon the initial download, including special issues on Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and a preview of an issue of Vogue. If you like what you see, you can purchase individual issues for $4, a one month subscription for $2, or you can subscribe to the magazine for a year for $20. All of your available content is accessible through the app's library. From there, you can tap an issue to bring up an iPad-optimized issue, complete with its signature high fashion photos, as well as extra content like audio exclusives. Navigation between pages varies between swipes downwards and to the sides, and some images you can actually pinch and zoom to check out the acute, intricate details (a perk a number of other apps in this roundup don't let you do). Free, Download link.

Agriculture Secretary Selects Advisory Committee to Evaluate Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Proposals
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the selection of 15 advisory committee members to evaluate Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration proposals.
"The newly appointed Advisory Committee will serve as the eyes and ears for local and rural communities to ensure USDA provides healthy forests and waterways which will help create green jobs and economic prosperity for our communities," said Vilsack. "The Committee's guidance will be invaluable in evaluating landscape restoration proposals that ultimately promote healthier, safer and more productive public lands."
The Advisory Committee, which was established by the Forest Landscape Restoration Act, signed into law as part of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, establishes a collaborative process that relies on the best-available science to plan and prioritize landscape-scale forest restoration projects that benefit local economies. To make large-scale, long-term restoration projects feasible, Congress appropriated $10 million this year in a national fund that will supplement local resources and leverage non-Federal support for carrying out the projects under the CFLR Program.
The program is a key part of the Secretary's restoration vision for the forests and rangelands under the care of the USDA Forest Service as he laid out in his Seattle speech August 14, 2009. The program is proposed for $40 million in the President's FY 2011 budget. "Combined with the Integrated Resource Restoration budget line proposal, the CFLR Program enables the agency to focus on improving forest and rangeland health and resiliency so we can deliver the goods and services expected from the public lands," said Chief Tom Tidwell.
The 15 members were selected from 59 candidates responding to the Secretary's request for nominations March 5. Advisory committee members were selected based on their technical expertise, points-of-view represented, geographic region of the country and diverse backgrounds. The members will review community based proposals and advise the Secretary concerning their selections.
The USDA Forest Service received 31 proposals from across the country for the committee to evaluate. Project proposals cover a myriad of ecological restoration treatments to reduce wildfire risk, enhance fish and wildlife habitats, maintain and improve water quality and use woody biomass and small-diameter trees. Many of the landscape proposals include contributions from partners and commitments from adjacent landowners to treat their lands.
The Advisory Committee is expected to make final recommendations to Secretary by August 2010.
Primary Committee Members:
Julia Altemus, Missoula, Mont.
Maia J. Enzer, Portland, Ore.
Karen Hardigg, Anchorage, Alaska
Brian Kahn, Helena, Mont.
James Kennamer, Edgefield, SC
Paige Lewis, Boulder, Colo.
Gary Nakamura, Redding, Calif.
Dr. Brent Racher, Corona, N.M.
Philip Rigdon, Silverton, Ore.
Dr. Melissa Savage, Santa Fe, N.M.
Todd Schulke, Tucson, Ariz.
Gary J. Severson, Breckenridge, Colo.

hi! I hope some of you were able to make it to Richard Dawkins talk at my school on October 16th, if not, here's a couple of pics and a short write up of how I was lucky enough to...
Those of you in the Denver-Boulder area might be interested in hearing Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, speak at CU Boulder on March 2, 2012.
Mikey Weinstein - Military Religious Freedom Foundation - CU Boulder
Is there any interest in a get-together on the south side of Denver? Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, someplace like that?
I joined the Denver meetup a couple years ago. I joined the Boulder meetup and the Mile High Skeptics both a couple months ago. Boulder is more active but like you say, it's a bit of a drive especially on a week night.
In response to several comments about social activities in Denver, I can confirm that the local groups have not been very active socially in late 2011 and early 2012. I know the some of the leaders of the Denver based groups and they have been busy with other stuff. I can offer two suggestions: 1) check out the Boulder Atheists' social calendar if you don't mind going that far north and 2) if you are a member of the Denver Atheists Meetup, send a message to Eric Meer volunteering to host a casual social gathering in the Arvada/Lakewood/Golden area and have it added to their calendar.
If anyone in the Golden/Lakewood area wants to meetup for a happy hour there's the Blue Canyon in downtown Golden. Downstairs would be good for up to 10. Any interest in the next few evenings or weekends?
Would also like to meet more local heathens. Golden/Lakewood area is perfect.
There is a meetup for Denver atheists (http://www.meetup.com/denver-atheists/) They don't seem to do a lot of social type gatherings.
I was born and raised in Denver. Currently living in Houston. I'm sick and tired of the bible belt crap. I'm looking for work back in Denver. I'm looking to network with atheists/skeptics from Colorado.

Mountains, foothills at center of storm
Locals in Oxford, Maine are happy to see the winter weather.
"We're seeing numbers up close to 20 percent and expecting a really strong March as well," said Brad Jerome of the Bethel Inn Resort.
The Bethel Inn Resort has been booked solid every weekend during the recent school vacation week.
"I'll tell you, we're all smiles here in Bethel," Jerome said. "The snow is fabulous. Another foot expected today. Just got done with a great vacation week where we picked up 8 inches last weekend, so the skiing and riding at Mount Abram and Sunday River have been just out of this world."
In these parts, you won't find many people complaining about how much snow has fallen, especially die-hard skiers like Lee Hughes.
"We've had snow all winter long, and we have skied practically every single day," Hughes said. "It's just been ideal."
Snowmobiles were selling well at Maine-ly Action Sports in Oxford -- a change from previous years.
"Year's past, it's been a tough go in the wintertime," said Austin Reimers of Maine-ly Action sports. "You know, we pretty much thrive on servicing and stuff like that when we don't have enough snow for people to really get ambitious about going out and buying a new sled. It's kind of tough when we don't have snow for people to think, 'snowmobiling.'"
Kids in Oxford Hills had a sixth snow day on Wednesday, after which they will have used all the snow days allotted for the school year.
If needed, school officials will take additional snow days from summer vacation.

Jacqui Small Publishing really is becoming one to watch for any (slightly obsessed) book buying baker (i.e. me!). I'd had Roger Pizey's "Worlds Best Cakes" on my radar for a little while, waiting for it to be released and – joy of joys – I was offered a copy to review! Please also see the offer for all readers at the end of this post.
Like many bakers I read my books when they arrive and tab the pages that interest me. As you can see there were quite a lot of tabs in this lovely book leaving Mr CC to suggest that it might be easier if I tabbed the pages of things I didn't want to make!
I will be making so many recipes from this encyclopaedic book and what I particularly loved was the variety: easy to difficult, simple flavours to complex, everyday to exotic. It truly covers the globe and my eyes (OK, my stomach!) were drawn to this Turkish tahini cake for several reasons – I love tahini but have never considered it a baking ingredient; also, the recipe doesn't contain any butter or eggs, which instantly sets it apart from virtually all my other bakes. I have never seen a cake like this and the novelty of it excited me. Make sure you buy a tahini that is pure sesame seed; some were called 'tahini sauce' and had lots of other ingredients.
When you think about it, tahini is a perfectly sensible cake ingredient – it's pretty similar to peanut butter really and we're all used to seeing that. It added a gentler, more subtle flavour than peanut butter; I sometimes find peanut butter can overpower everything else, but the tahini sat alongside all the other flavours. The batter had that lovely almost Christmas cake richness to it:
This was a moist cake with a squidgy fruitiness – I loved it. It is a heavier cake (intentionally so) so don't make it expecting a light, airy sponge. It was a perfect cake for an Autumnal afternoon.
To order World's Best Cakes at the discounted price of £24.00 including p&p* (RRP: £30.00), telephone 01903 828503 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and quote the offer code APG20.

Preheat the oven to 170°C/fan oven 150°C/325°F/gas mark 3. I upped the oven temperature as my cake was not taking on any colour – I would recommend baking at 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/gas mark 5 – but you know your oven. If things cook quickly stick with the original temperature.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat the tahini until it is smooth and light.
Keep beating and add the sugar gradually. Beat it as you would normally beat butter and sugar – it behaves similarly.
Mix together the cognac (or rum) and bicarb and beat in.
Weigh out the flour, cinnamon, walnuts and fruit. Tip half into the tahini mix and beat in.
Beat in half the orange juice.
Beat in the remaining flour and fruits, followed by the orange juice.
The batter should be thicker than a normal cake batter – quite thick and heavy. If it isn't add some more flour. Mine was at dropping consistency so I added three further tablespoons of flour and this made the mix noticeably heavier.
Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the cake is dark and a skewer inserted into it comes out clean.
Leave to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the tin and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
The cake keeps beautifully and – if anything – the flavours improve over time.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

A forum has been told that alcohol abuse among Indigenous Territorians has hit a crisis point.
Stakeholders have met to discuss alcohol policy and its impact on Aboriginal communities.
The Aboriginal Peak Organisations of the Northern Territory group hosted a forum in Darwin on the problem.
Spokeswoman Priscilla Collins said alcohol abuse among Indigenous Territorians is rife.
"It is about Aboriginal people taking responsibility for themselves, and coming together and listening to each other, and coming up with recommendations," she said.
"(It's about) Aboriginal people going to the government and saying 'look, this is how we can work with you', rather than it being the other way, with governments coming in and putting all this legislation in place without listening to the Aboriginal people themselves."
She says alcoholism is having a devastating effect in Aboriginal communities.
"We have got Aboriginal people clogging up the justice system, the health system, and it has got to a stage where we are at crisis point," she said.
Ross Mandi is a night patrol supervisor on Elcho Island off the coast of Arnhem Land.
He told the forum that although his community of Galiwinku is "dry", his staff are kept busy dealing with unsupervised children because their parents leave to drink elsewhere.
"My elders, they don't want grog in our community," he said.
"Otherwise we may lose our culture, our way of living."
The summit has also heard from the Central Australian Aboriginal Alcohol Programs unit, which runs rehabilitation services at Alice Springs.
It called on policy-makers to consider stationing police at alcohol takeaway stores and enforcing alcohol-free residences.
Ms Collins says the aim of the meeting was to talk about what kinds of policies are helping Indigenous people rehabilitate.

I recommend the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Emperor of Rome 161ad.
Initially I found this a bit hard going but there are some real gems, such as:
"Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life."
Very relevant to today as it was then.

any player or codec for playing divx on a storm??
any player or codec for playing divx on a storm??
Officially, no. BUT I have been able to playback a few, I believe it all depends on how it is coded. You can check out this link from Blackberryfaq.com.
What video and audio formats are supported?? - BlackBerryFAQ
It will tell you what is supported and what is not.
from what it looks like you can play divx as long as it meets the required resolution....that's cool(other than the fact that i have no divx coded in that resolution..lol) maybe i should just try it out and see what happens...
Well, I would recommend that you don't. Only because divx files are very large. 3gp is the best because they are smaller in size. Yes you lose some quality in picture but I would rather have more space.
i have a 16gb micro in my storm....so i have the space..700mb isn't that huge...

Checking in on… the Big SkyPosted by Brian Goodman on November 29th, 2010
Jason Spencer is the RTC correspondent for the Big Sky. In addition to his tireless contributions for RTC, Jason is a screenwriter whose pursuits can be followed at the home of Blindly Driven Entertainment. [ed. note: this post was written prior to the Nov. 26-28 games]
A Look Back
- This just in, Damian Lillard is a "BEAST!" Of course, if you follow the conference, you knew that already. Lillard has shown thus far in this young season that the MVP award is his to lose. In the first four games he is averaging 23 points per game. We will just let that sink in for all upcoming Weber State opponents.
- Are they for real? Montana State has rattled off five straight wins, but the question remains, is it a fluke? Well, they will get their chance to prove it right away. They have upcoming games against Iowa State, Illinois State, UCLA, and they kick off the conference season vs. Weber State. By Christmas we will know whether Bobcat fans are getting something nice or coal in their stockings.
- Defense wins championships. If that saying holds true, then Montana should feel good about their team. On 11/22 the Grizzlies held Idaho to 12% shooting. Yes that's right; the Vandals shot 6-50 from the field. Somewhere, coach Wayne Tinkle is smiling.
Power Rankings
1. Weber State: (2-2)
Recent Games: 77-65 Loss at Utah State 11/13, 97-72 Win vs. Colorado Christian 11/16, 90-75 Loss at Utah 11/20, 86-54 Win at Alaska Anchorage 11/25
Upcoming Games: Great Alaska Shootout second and third rounds 11/26 and 11/27, vs. Seattle 12/4
The Wildcats debut at the top spot despite going 2-2 in their first four games. It's hard to argue with having the two-time defending regular season champs and a team returning the reigning league MVP as the top team here. Last week they kept it respectable on the road against Utah and really should have beaten Utah State on the road. But down the stretch the crazy Aggie fans got the best of their in-state rival. Damian Lillard picked up where he left off last year averaging 23 points per game through the first four games. NBA scouts have already started to salivate at the thought of Lillard in an NBA uniform. NBADraft.net has him as a late first round pick in the 2012 Draft. Look for Lillard and the Wildcats to make some noise in the Great Alaska Shootout on Thanksgiving weekend.
2. Northern Arizona: (3-2)
Recent Games: 78-64 Loss at Iowa State 11/12, 74-70 Loss at Creighton 11/14, 74-46 Win vs. Alabama State 11/16, 97-47 vs. Southwestern Arizona 11/19, 74-66 Win at Kennesaw State 11/22
Upcoming Games: at Pepperdine 11/28, at Cal State Bakersfield 11/30, vs. Bethany 12/4, vs. Texas-Pan American 12/8
If there was a 1a and a 1b in the Power Rankings then the Lumberjacks would be that 1b. This team is loaded with experience. Head coach Mike Adras brings back four starters from last year's 14-14 squad. They nearly took down Creighton on the road, which is no easy feat by the way. Then they took care of business their last three, topped off with a big road win at Kennesaw State. With all the returning experience and the past coaching success of coach Adras, the Lumberjacks will be nipping at Weber State's heels all year long.
3. Northern Colorado: (2-2)
Recent Games: 93-52 Wins vs. Tabor 11/12, 67-53 Win vs. Wyoming 11/16, 93-70 Loss at Arizona 11/21, 87-84 Loss at Santa Clara 11/23
Upcoming Games: Las Vegas Invitational 11/26 and 11/27, vs. Black Hills State 12/4
With the best season in school history in the rearview mirror, the Bears are looking to capitalize on their program's momentum. First-year coach B.J. Hill takes over for the departed Tad Boyle who left for Colorado. Don't look for this team to miss a beat since Hill served for four years under Boyle before taking over this year. However this team lives and dies by Devin Beitzel. He had a solid 20 points in a close loss at Santa Clara but overall is shooting 20.8% from three point range. For the Bears to challenge for a conference title, Beitzel has got to find his stroke.
4. Montana State: (5-1)
Recent Games: 77-59 Loss at Hawaii 11/13, 65-58 Win vs. Central Michigan 11/14, 80-76 Win vs. Cal State Fullerton 11/15, 92-67 Win vs. Minot State 11/19, 73-57 Win vs. Cal Poly 11/21, 76-59 Win vs. San Francisco 11/24
Upcoming Games: at Iowa State 11/27, at Seattle 11/29, at Illinois State 12/4, vs. Johnson and Wales 12/10
If coach Brad Huse is reading these Power Rankings, feel free to use it as bulletin board material. The "no respect" card should be played after the Bobcats rattled off five wins in a row. Yet this team is still ranked fourth. For them to climb up the rankings they must show they are for real. Beating Big 12 member Iowa State on 11/27 would be a start. The one-two punch of Bobby Howard and Erik Rush is going to be something the rest of the league better take notice of come conference play.
5. Montana: (2-2)
Recent Games: 81-66 Loss at Nevada 11/13, 80-71 Loss at Utah 11/17, 78-51 Win vs. Montana Tech 11/19, 75-33 Win vs. Idaho 11/22
Upcoming Games: vs. Cal State Fullerton 11/30, vs. Portland 12/3, at UCLA 12/5, vs. Great Falls 12/9
The Grizzlies are trying to capitalize on their amazing run through the Big Sky Conference Tournament last year. They of course are also trying to replace Anthony Johnson, the catalyst of their past success. So far, center Brian Qvale has been everything they thought he would be as a senior. With Will Cherry showing his freshman campaign was no fluke, this team will once again have something to say come conference tournament time.
6. Portland State: (3-1)
Recent Games: 83-81 Win vs. Pepperdine 11/12, 69-53 Loss at SMU 11/19, 102-98 Win vs. Lamar 11/20, 69-58 Win vs. UC Riverside 11/21
Upcoming Games: vs. Seattle 12/1, at Oregon 12/5, vs. George Fox 12/9
Don't tell these guys that they got nothing to play for. Head coach Tyler Geving has his team playing with a chip on their shoulder this year. The Vikings are not eligible for the postseason, including the Big Sky Conference Tournament. This year they will have to play the role as spoiler, and it's beginning to look like that might happen more often than others want. The Vikings have a balanced attack with four players averaging in double figures with a fifth close to ten points per game. The trouble for upcoming opponents will be who do they guard?
7. Eastern Washington: (1-3)
Recent Games: 67-60 Loss vs. San Jose State 11/12, 98-72 Loss at Washington 11/16, 96-87 Win vs. Northwest Washington 11/18, 83-54 Loss at Boise State 11/24
Upcoming Games: vs. Idaho 11/27, at Gonzaga 11/30, vs. New Hope Christian 12/4
Head coach Kirk Earlywine has the youngest team in the conference this year. Not one senior is on this year's roster. This has not stopped the young Eagles from showing lots of promise. The question is will this be the year that the youngsters grow up? Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year Glen Dean has been sidelined thus far with a stress fracture and remains day-to-day. Having Dean back in the lineup is most certainly the key to the Eagles season.
8. Idaho State: (1-3)
Recent Games: 88-80 Loss at Colorado 11/12, 90-42 Loss at Arizona 11/14, 78-68 Win vs. Great Falls 11/19, 79-47 Loss at South Dakota State 11/23
Upcoming Games: vs. Montana Tech 11/29, at Iowa 12/4, at Cal State Bakersfield 12/7
The first question that comes to mind if you are an opposing coach of Idaho State would be where is Broderick Gilchrest? The man went unconscious at Colorado for a career high 39 points. The following game he was held to four points on one-of-nine shooting from the field at Arizona. As the conference season gets underway, coach Joe O'Brien will have to find a way to get Gilchrest open looks. As for the schedule, it doesn't get any easier. Six of their next eight games are on the road.
9. Sacramento State: (1-3)
Recent Games: 80-78 Loss vs. Cal State Bakersfield 11/14, 84-55 Win vs. Bethany 11/16, 64-60 Loss at North Dakota 11/19, 61-54 Loss vs. UC Davis 11/23
Upcoming Games: vs. Cal Poly 11/27, at Washington State 11/30, at Utah Valley 12/4, at Loyola Marymount 12/7, vs. William Jessup 12/10
This has to be the most encouraging last place conference team in the nation. Brian Katz knew what he was getting into when he took over the Hornets coaching job. In the last three seasons this team has won a total of fifteen games, with last year contributing nine of those. Katz has only three players returning from last year that contributed. But as with any rebuilding project, to get over the hump, you've got to learn how to win close games. In their three losses, they have lost by a total of thirteen points. Once this team learns how to win the close ones, they could surprise some people.
A Look Ahead
- Northern Colorado is going to Vegas, baby! The Las Vegas Invitational to be exact. The Bears will take on Valparaiso on 11/26 and either Bethune-Cookman or Texas A&M Corpus Christi on 11/27. This tournament includes such national powers such as Kansas and Arizona. It should be a great experience and atmosphere for B.J. Hill's club.
- Expansion talk! The Big Sky is not waiting on the big boys to make a move. Being proactive, earlier this month the league added North Dakota and Southern Utah as full members. The move puts the league at eleven teams in basketball. Who will be the twelfth? Rumor has it South Dakota is interested.
- BracketBusters will feature all nine members of the Big Sky Conference. Fans can watch their favorite Big Sky team on one of the ESPN family of networks 2/18-2/20. This is the first time that all members of the conference will participate in a given year.
The "Human Highlight Film" Award
Is there anyone else in the league that we should give this to? We didn't think so either. Damian Lillard, let the love fest begin! A man among boys, this 6'2 junior guard from Oakland, California has started off the season with a flurry. The reigning Big Sky Conference MVP is up to his old tricks again averaging 23 points per game through four. If it pleases the court, I would like to enter into evidence "Exhibit A" (below). After a heavy helping of threes to the face, Damian decides to take it to the hoop "nasty style" at the 1:28 mark. Is there any doubt why he wears number 1?

TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp's network strategy chief, Tim Schaaff, will quit next month after leading the Japanese company's efforts to build a unified online content delivery platform to compete with Apple Inc (AAPL.O) for the past seven years.
Schaaff, 52, would retire as of December 31, Sony said in a release. Andrew House, the head of its gaming division would assume responsibilities for its online network unit as a transitional step.
Sony said Schaaff would remain as an external director at the Sony unit, but did not elaborate on his future plans.
Former Sony CEO, Howard Stringer, headhunted Schaaff from Apple in 2005 to build the company's online presence. As a member of Steve Jobs' inner circle of developers, Schaaff oversaw the creation of its QuickTime video streaming software.
Sony under Stringer and his successor, current CEO Kazuo Hirai, has pursued a strategy to link its game consoles and other devices online to an extensive library of software, movie and music content as demand for its televisions shrinks.
Schaaff launched new online services, including Music Unlimited in 2010, overseeing an expansion in subscribers to the company's networks to 110 million.

Wizorb (iPad)

Developed by
Also For
iPhone, Linux, Macintosh, Ouya, PlayStation 3, PSP, PS Vita, Windows, Xbox 360 | Combined View
DescriptionWizorb is a Breakout/Arkanoid action game (bounce an orb off a magic wand to break bricks), with a sprinkle of a Japanese-style RPG. Besides breaking bricks, there are monsters to kill, spells to cast and power-ups to buy. In total, there are about 60 levels on 5 worlds, plus some extra secret levels for good measure. Next to the classic gameplay, the player has access to a magic bar with limited supply to destroy bricks with fireballs. Other spells cause the ball movement pattern to reverse or offers the player to teleport the ball to any location on the field. Items such as coins, additional magic and lives are gathered by what the bricks leave behind. Monsters move between the bricks and can cause the ball to bounce in an unexpected direction. Buttons can be pressed to open up bonus areas or shops. Shops offer additional lives, full magic or a magnet that causes the ball to stick. While playing the ball speed is increased with each bounce. When it drops from the bottom of the screen, the gameplay is restarted and the player gets to decide the direction to launch the ball. The player starts with three lives and a limited amount of continues. When they are used up, additional continues can be bought, but they eat up a lot of money.
Music and graphics are very "low-res", giving this an old NES retro feel. The game is set in the Kingdom of Gorudo that is threatened by an evil presence. The player controls Cyrus, a wizard who controls the magic known as Wizorb. Locations he visits include Clover Town, Gorudo Castle and Cauldron Peak. The town acts as a hub where various characters can be met. Money can be donated to them to receive a reward in return.

PENSACOLA BEACH � The Pensacola Beach Air Show takes flight Friday and Saturday with a flock of performers designed to entertain all ages.
The Santa Rosa Island Authority organized the show, traditionally one of the most exciting weekends of the summer, even though the Blue Angels Navy demonstration flying team has been grounded because of sequestration.
�We have 24 aircraft that will be flying from 1 to 3:30 p.m. both days,� said Buck Lee, SRIA executive director. �Normally a civilian act of this magnitude would cost up to $25 per person, but ours is free to the public.
�We hope next year the United States Navy�s flight demonstration squadron, the Navy Blue Angels, will be able to return for our air show, as they will surely be missed this year.�
Featuring some of the best aviation performers in the country, the Pensacola Beach Air Show includes Kevin Coleman who, at only 21 years old, is one of the youngest air show celebrities in the world, and Gary Ward, who is the first pilot to begin flying the MX2 in air shows, which is the latest in unlimited aerobatic aircraft.
Skip Stewart is an aerobatic champion who has won several gold medals in regional competitions and has been awarded two Pitts Trophies.
Lima Lima is new to this years� air show. One of the world�s original six aircraft civilian formation aerobatic teams, Lima Lima stresses precision formation flying from the six-ship wedge and double arrowhead to the basic figure four and diamond formations.
Also new to the Pensacola Beach Air Show is Red Star & The Dragon. With 800 mph head-on merges between Red Star, a Viper-29, and The Dragon, a BAC-167 Strikemaster, these two war birds demonstrate what they were built to do.
Otto the Helicopter is the only helicopter to perform in the Pensacola Beach Air Show. Known for blowing bubbles, playing with his yo-yo and shooting smoke in all directions, Otto is a true crowd favorite, especially the younger fans.
Team Aerodynamix, the world�s largest air show team, provides an exciting and memorable performance that combines precision formation flying and formation acrobatics.
The Santa Rosa Island Authority is also hosting a free concert featuring The Tams after the air show on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Casino Beach Gulfside Pavilion.
Known for such �60s hits as �Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy,� �What Kind of Fool,� �I�ve Been Hurt� and �Untie Me,� The Tams have had two Gold Records and one Platinum Single. One of Jimmy Buffett�s favorite bands, The Tams toured with Buffett during his 1999 Beach House on the Moon Tour and they recorded �Flesh and Bone� together.

I am having trouble getting from one line to the next from this wiki page. I am referring to the text line
Green's function in $r$ is therefore given by the inverse Fourier transform,
$$G(r) ~=~ \frac{1}{(2\pi)^3} \iiint d^3k \frac{e^{i{\bf k}\cdot{\bf r}}}{k^2+\lambda^2}$$
goes to
$$G(r) ~=~ \frac{1}{2\pi^2r} \int^{\infty}_0 \!dk_r \frac{k_r \sin(k_r r)}{k_r^2+\lambda^2}.$$
Where does the $\frac{1}{r}$ term come from and what is $k_r$? How did they simplify the triple integral? Divergence theorem? Stokes? Detailed steps would be much appreciated.

The double-bass sometimes comes to the fore with a solo or a particularly prominent part, but mostly it is in the background supporting the harmonies, creating rhythms and adding its rich tone to the overall orchestral mix.
The double bass, or contrabass as it is also known, is descended from the viol rather than the violin, although both violin and viol shaped instruments exist today.
The bass sounds an octave lower than written, and its strings are tuned in fourths, sounding as follows: G2, D2, A1, E1. The addition of a low C extension can take the lowest string down to C1.

Less than a week from today, Around the League will be on the ground in New Orleans for an awesome week of Super Bowl XLVII coverage. From the HarBowl to Ray Lewis' last game, Baltimore Ravens-San Francisco 49ers won't be hurting for storylines. Here are a few less obvious angles we're looking forward to:
Randy Moss back on the big stage
One of the greatest receivers and interviews of all time is back in the Super Bowl five years after catching what he thought was a game-winning touchdown. It is incredible how seamlessly Moss has become a role player after a year away from football. It's easy to imagine him walking off into the sunset if the 49ers win.
Jim Harbaugh news conferences
It's hard to describe a Jim Harbaugh media session. Uneven might be the best word. Or uncomfortable. His brain always seems somewhere else, and you never know what's going to come out of his mouth, but it's often pretty interesting. The man has a unique take on how to use the English language.
Kicker drama!
Niners kicker David Akers missed a short kick in the NFC Championship Game. It's unlikely that the 49ers will bring in more competition for him, but Akers' struggles have to be a concern for San Francisco. Baltimore's Justin Tucker, meanwhile, has been one of the NFL's best kickers in his rookie season.
Baltimore's big personalities
This is not a team full of wallflowers. From wide receiver Anquan Boldin to linebacker Terrell Suggs to safety Bernard Pollard and running back Ray Rice, the Ravens are a compelling group. Ed Reed is from the New Orleans area, another all-time great searching for his first ring. The Ravens are anything but vanilla. Thankfully.
Ravens' big changes
Jim Harbaugh's switch from Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick at quarterback was gutsy. You could say the same thing about John Harbaugh's firing of offensive coordinator Cam Cameron after Week 14. The reaction after that move: The Ravens were desperate. Now it looks pretty good to say the least.
The team's dramatically re-vamped offensive line setup was an even bigger decision. Baltimore's protection and offense vastly improved after Harbaugh moved Bryant McKinnie to left tackle, Michael Oher moved to right tackle and Kelechi Osemele to left guard.
Niners linebackers
It just doesn't get much better than Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks and Aldon Smith. (Even if Smith acts more like a defensive end.) This group was the difference in the NFC Championship Game.
San Francisco searches for a sixth title
The 49ers are the only franchise that has more than one Super Bowl appearance and remains undefeated in the big game. They could tie the Pittsburgh Steelers as the only franchise with six rings. The peace accord between the York and DeBartolo ownership families will be a big story in the coming weeks. It wasn't so long ago that the Yorks looked like one of the worst ownership groups in football.
For the first time in nearly two decades, one of the NFL's most storied franchises is back in the Super Bowl.

What is the research about?
You are asked to participate in an online questionnaire that asks questions about parenting attitudes and behaviours. The purpose of this study is to explore whether symptoms of borderline personality disorder impact on parenting attitudes and behaviours, and to identify protective factors that determine healthy family functioning.
Why is the research being done?
This research is being conducted as there has been an observable gap in services when it comes to linking parents with a diagnosis of BPD with appropriate parenting supports that are sensitive to the needs of parents with this diagnosis. Through an increased understanding of the parenting concerns faced by individuals with this diagnosis, researchers can focus on developing appropriate parenting interventions to improve functioning in families that may present to services in distress.
What will I be asked to do?
You will be asked to answer some questions about your mental health, general parenting attitudes and an observation of behaviours for each child in your family aged between 4 and 17 years of age. You will also be asked to complete some general demographic information about yourself and family composition, but you will not be asked to provide any specific identifying information about yourself or your children.
Participation in any research project is voluntary. If you do not wish to take part, you are not obliged to. If you decide to take part and later change your mind, you are free to withdraw from the project at any stage without providing a reason. You may wish to first speak to a carer or support person to about your decision to participate.
How long will my participation in the study last?
The length of your participation is limited to how long it takes you to complete the questionnaire. This may vary depending on the size of your family. In general, it is recommended that you put aside at least 60 minutes to complete the full questionnaire. The online questionnaire will also allow you to exit the survey and return at a later time to complete it if necessary (Please note that if you plan to return to the survey at a later date, you MUST ensure that you use the same computer and browser as the previous time. You MUST also have cookies enabled on your computer. If your browser is set to dump cookies each time is is closed, the cookies will be refreshed and a new blank survey will open when you return).
What if I don't have access to the internet?
If you do not have access to the internet you may contact the researcher to send you out a hard copy of the questionnaire and a self-addressed postage paid envelope. The questionnaire can then be sent back to the researcher via local post.
How will my confidentiality be protected – will the information and results be de-identified?
The information collected will be confidential and only accessible by the researchers. You will not be asked to include any specific identifying information such as your name on any written information provided. No identifying information will be reported in the final results of the study. On completion of the research, de-identified data will be archived by the University of Adelaide for a period of 15 years.
Will I be paid for my participation?
Participants who complete the questionnaire can choose to go into the draw to win one of five Amazon.com gift cards valued at $50AU (a suitable alternative may be arranged for those who don't have internet access). Those who wish to participate in the draw will be asked to leave a name (first name only) and contact details at the end of the questionnaire. These details will be immediately detached from the main questionnaire and stored separately, to maintain confidentiality.
What should I do if I were to feel severe discomfort or distress?
Sometimes talking about difficult topics can lead to feelings of distress. If you feel distressed by the questionnaire, you are encouraged to link in with an individual therapist or counsellor to discuss the issues in detail during therapy. If you do not have an individual therapist and you are feeling very distressed, that you are encouraged to contact your local mental health crisis team for support. A list of counselling/crisis support services will be provided at the end of the questionnaire.
Is there any chance that the proposed research will be of benefit to me personally, or to future patients with the same condition?
It is hoped that the information collected will inform the future development of a parenting program specifically designed to benefit parents with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. However, the timeframe for this will be contingent on accessing appropriate funding and support.
Will I be informed about the results of the study?
You may request a summary of the final outcomes of the study which will be available at a later date.
This study has the approval of the Human Research Ethics Committee at the University of Adelaide. If you wish to discuss with an independent person matters related to:
making a complaint, or
raising concerns on the conduct of the project, or
your rights as a participant, or
should you wish to make a confidential complaint
You may contact the following:
Kind Regards,

Vancouver, WA — What to do with a commercial business that showed a$7.2 million loss in the second quarter? That's what Nautilus Inc. is mulling over as its management team engaged a company to help Nautilus evaluate its commercial business. The commercial business was the only one of Nautilus' three divisions not to show a profit in the quarter, according to the company's financials released last month.
Ed Bramson, CEO of Nautilus, blamed the commercial business' $7.2 million loss on the economy, which has made it difficult for club operators to purchase equipment. The commercial business was down 39.7 percent to $20.7 million, reflecting a weakness in strength equipment sales that was partly offset by strength in cardio equipment sales, according to CFO Kenneth Fish.
In a call with analysts, Bramson said that the company had a backlog of commercial inventory in the second quarter, so the company reduced prices to decrease that inventory.
On the consumer side, the retail and direct businesses showed profits in the second quarter, despite showing losses last year at this time. The retail business generated$1.2 million in income from operations compared to a loss of $0.2 million for the previous period last year. The direct business generated $0.6 million of income from operations compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the same period last year. The commercial business had a loss from continuing operations of $7.2 million in second quarter 2009 compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the same period last year.
Robert W. Baird & Co. will help Nautilus study whether it should concentrate more on the consumer business. Possible results of the study could be a smaller group of commercial products, a sale of the commercial division or — if a buyer could not be found — a closure of the commercial business. Bramson did not offer details about whether the company was leaning one direction or another. He said it would be several months before the evaluation was complete.
Overall, Nautilus reported a loss of 36.4 percent in net sales for the second quarter 2009. Nautilus reported net sales of$60.8 million in the quarter, compared to net sales of $95.6 million for the second quarter 2008.

You've likely noticed that our coverage of Microsoft (non-gaming) has picked up quite a bit over the past year, thanks in large part to contributions from Peter Bright who has joined Emil Protalinski on One Microsoft Way. Peter and I were recently discussing future projects, and we both thought it would be a great idea to solicit from you, dear reader, thoughts on what we should and should not be covering in the world of Microsoft.
Microsoft is a massive company with more products than 99.9 percent of the population can name. Despite so many products, it's often hard to determine what is best to cover. Many, many moons ago we sought to cover nearly all of the daily "news," but it was frankly quite boring (and you told us as much, in both feedback and traffic). Patch Tuesday is the most uninteresting (and predictable!) "news" on earth, but some people would argue that it's essential information. Point updates and patches to enterprise products can be pretty snoretastic as well. But readers seemed to respond well to big releases, consumer product news, and strategy/direction analysis.
When thinking about what you'd like to see us cover, keep in mind that there are really two kinds of things we do here at Ars: there's the daily news mill, and then there are long-form features. We're looking for suggestions on both. For those of you who read other tech sites that address Microsoft, it would be fantastic if you linked to stories you wished we covered but didn't. It's one thing to say you want more enterprise news. It's quite another to link some examples of what you think counts as worthwhile examples of enterprise coverage.
As usual, Peter and I will be in the discussion section, so don't hesitate to ask questions if you've got them.

While Wylly Barron had led an extravagant life at one point, by his death at 88 he'd lost most of his wealth. Upon his death, he was so broke a proper coffin couldn't be purchased and his body was simply bricked into the mausoleum. The key to the mausoleum and surrounding fence was then thrown in the Savannah River, as he'd decreed in his will, so no one could ever pull him out of his grave later. His epitaph reads: "Farewell vain work, I know enough of thee. And now am careless what thou sayest of me. Thy smiles I court not, nor thy frowns I fear. My cares are past, my head lies quiet here. What faults you knew of me, take care to shun. And look at home, enough there's to be done." In the mid-to-late 1800's, people apparently didn't always take kindly to gamblers. Uh, this photo is not of his mausoleum.
This one reads: "He is gone but not forgotten, we all sure miss him so. But the angels came and took him, it was his time to go. His bed at home his vacant, his chair is empty too. But the Lord in all his goodness, knew what was best to do. To all his friends and kindred, please bear one thing in mind. Your time is surely coming, it won't be far behind."
Or, if they're not mean-spirited, they sure do seem to be encouraging the reader to "PREPARE TO DIE!" "Pause here stranger, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so shall you be. Prepare for death, and follow me." Hey, nothing like a real life-affirming inscription, eh?
But I agree, sometimes the understated stone is the way to go. I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween. Such a nice holiday and a great way to prepare for the elections, huh? Next time we'll stick with the historical bent and check out the Augusta Canal, I think. Until then, enjoy your candy.

A unique combination of properties makes aluminum one of our most versatile engineering and construction materials. A mere recital of its characteristics is impressive. It is light in mass, yet some of its alloys have strengths greater than that of structural steel.
It has high resistance to corrosion under the majority of service conditions, and no colored salts are formed to stain adjacent surfaces or discolor products with which it comes into contact, such as fabrics in the textile industry and solutions in chemical equipment.
A unique combination of properties makes aluminum one of our most versatile engineering and construction materials. A mere recital of its characteristics is impressive. It is light in mass, yet some of its alloys have strengths greater than that of structural steel.
It has high resistance to corrosion under the majority of service conditions, and no colored salts are formed to stain adjacent surfaces or discolor products with which it comes into contact, such as fabrics in the textile industry and solutions in chemical equipment. It has no toxic reaction. It has good electrical and thermal conductivities and high reflectivity to both heat and light. The metal can easily be worked into any form and readily accepts a wide variety of surface finishes.
The mass of aluminum is roughly 35 percent that of iron and 30 percent that of copper. Commercially pure aluminum has a tensile strength of about 90 MPa. Thus its usefulness as a structural material in this form is somewhat limited. By working the metal, as by cold rolling, its strength can be approximately doubled. Much larger increases in strength can be obtained by alloying aluminum with small percentages of one or more other elements such as manganese, silicon, copper, magnesium or zinc.
Like pure aluminum, the alloys are also made stronger by cold working. Some of the alloys are further strengthened and hardened by heat treatments so that today aluminum alloys having tensile strengths approaching 700 MPa are available.
A wide variety of mechanical characteristics, or tempers, are available in aluminum alloys through various combinations of cold work and heat treatment. In specifying the temper for any given product, the fabricating process and the amount of cold work to which it will subject the metal should be kept in mind.
Aluminum and its alloys lose part of their strength at elevated temperatures, although some alloys retain good strength at temperatures from 200 to 260°C. At subzero temperatures, however, their strength increases without loss of ductility, so aluminum is a particularly useful metal for low-temperature applications.
When aluminum surfaces are exposed to the atmosphere, a thin invisible oxide skin forms immediately, which protects the metal from further oxidation. This self-protecting characteristic gives aluminum its high resistance to corrosion. Unless exposed to some substance or condition that destroys this protective oxide coating, the metal remains fully protected against corrosion. Aluminum is highly resistant to weathering, even in industrial atmospheres that often corrode other metals. It is also corrosion resistant to many acids. Alkalis are among the few sub stances that attack the oxide skin and therefore are corrosive to aluminum.
Some alloys are less resistant to corrosion than others, particularly certain high-strength alloys. Such alloys in some forms can be effectively protected from the majority of corrosive influences, however, by cladding the exposed surface or surfaces with a thin layer of either pure aluminum or one of the more highly corrosion-resistant alloys.
A word of caution should be mentioned in connection with the corrosion-resistant characteristics of aluminum. Direct contacts with certain other metals should be avoided in the presence of an electrolyte; otherwise galvanic corrosion of the aluminum may take place in the vicinity of the contact area. Where other metals must be fastened to aluminum, the use of a bituminous paint coating or insulating tape is recommended.
The fact that aluminum is nontoxic was discovered in the early days of the industry. It is this characteristic that permits the metal to be used in cooking utensils without any harmful effect on the body, and today we find also a great deal of aluminum equipment in use by food processing industries. The same characteristic permits aluminum foil wrapping to be used safely in direct contact with food products.
Aluminum is one of the two common metals having an electrical conductivity high enough for use as an electric conductor. The conductivity of electric conductor grade (EN AW1350 EN 573-3) is about 62 ICAS.
The high thermal conductivity of aluminum came prominently into play in the very first large-scale commercial application of the metal in cooking utensils. This characteristic is important wherever the transfer of thermal energy from one medium to another is involved, either heating or cooling. Thus aluminum heat exchangers are commonly used in the food, chemical, petroleum, aircraft and other industries. Aluminum is also an excellent reflector of radiant energy through the entire range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet, through the visible spectrum to infrared and heat waves, as well as electromagnetic waves of radio and radar.
Aluminum has a light reflectivity of over 80 percent, which has led to its wide use in lighting fixtures. Aluminum roofing reflects a high percentage of the sun's heat, so that buildings roofed with this material are cooler in summer.
The ease with which aluminum may be fabricated into any form is one of its most important assets. Often it can compete successfully with cheaper materials having a lower degree of workability. The metal can be cast by any method known to foundry men; it can be rolled to any desired thickness down to foil thinner than paper; aluminum sheet can be stamped, drawn, spun or roll-formed. The metal also may be hammered or forged. Aluminum wire, drawn from rolled rod, may be stranded into cable of any desired size and type. There is almost no limit to the different profiles in which the metal may be extruded.
The ease and speed with which aluminum may be machined is one of the important factors contributing to the low cost of finished aluminum parts. The metal may be turned, milled, bored, or machined in other manners at the maximum speeds of which the majority of machines are capable. Another advantage of its flexible machining characteristics is that aluminum rod and bar may readily be employed in the high speed manufacture of parts by automatic screw machines.
Almost any method of joining is applicable to aluminum: riveting, welding, brazing or soldering. A wide variety of mechanical aluminum fasteners simplifies the assembly of many products. Adhesive bonding of aluminum parts is widely employed, particularly in joining aircraft components.
For the majority of applications, aluminum needs no protective coating. Mechanical finishes such as polishing, sand blasting or wire brushing meet the majority of needs. In many instances, the surface finish supplied is entirely adequate without further finishing. Where the plain aluminum surface does not suffice, or where additional protection is required, any of a wide variety of surface finishes may be applied. Chemical, electrochemical and paint finishes are all used. Many colors are available in both chemical and electrochemical finishes. If paint, lacquer or enamel is used, any color possible with these finishes may be applied. Vitreous enamels have been developed for aluminum, and the metal may also be electroplated.
Aluminum sheet, because of its superior corrosion resistance and smooth continuous surface, is an excellent base for the high quality paints used in producing painted sheet. The chemical pretreatment plus the application of high quality thermally cured paint assures a finish that will exhibit no cracking, blistering, or peeling.
Attractive appearance together with high resistance to weathering and low maintenance requirements have led to extensive use in buildings of all types. High reflectivity, excellent weathering characteristics, and light weight are all important in roofing materials. Light weight contributes to low handling and shipping costs, whatever the application.
Many applications require the extreme versatility that only aluminum has. Almost daily its unique combination of properties is being put to work in new ways.
