What might pass for a colorful quilt square actually will help guide efforts to treat radioactive waste stored in tanks at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington state. This model was created by researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and it represents magnetite, a substrate waste material. Magnetite, as the name suggests, is magnetic, and the pink and lighter green features represent the electron spin on the material’s uppermost iron atoms. Substitution of some of these iron atoms with nickel, zinc or cobalt could be beneficial for waste processing. It might make it possible to incorporate larger amounts of highly radioactive waste—particularly technetium—into glass formulations for vitrification at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of River Protection.
Primary research team members: Vanda Glezakou and Mal-Soon Lee of PNNL’s Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate, and Wooyong Um of PNNL’s Energy and Environment Directorate.
The model was visually enhanced by Cortland Johnson of PNNL’s Communications and Information Technology Directorate.

Pillow talk is exactly what this type of behavior could lead to! I mean would you let your daughter out the house looking like that??

So I was making a carrot cake the other day ..... Hope you get a chuckle out of it, I did.
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She only lets you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them
She's my baby, she's my baby
Yeah, it's all right
She's got hair down to her fanny
She's got a dress slit right up to her panties
Every time she's dancin' she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see, see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
Girl, you got it right
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
Stays out at night movin' through time
Oh, I want her, said I got to have her
The girl is all right, she's all right!

I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have two incredibly patient and outgoing bengal cats. These two played ALL day with a VERY exuberant 4 yr old boy, and never batted an eye once to his rough antics and crazy play. They have never been around kids like that and they did SOOOO good. They played chase with him, were hit with wand toys (4 yr old boys have trouble learning you wiggle the wand on the floor, not in the cats face). Mia and Bayou never ran away, they actually enjoyed every minute of it!! (Dexter is more skittish and with his arthritis, I just kept him in a bedroom). I thought Mia would be a bit spooked by having 22 people in the house, but again, did not phase her ONE bit.
Bayou passed out at bedtime, but Mia was more like an overstimulated toddler...she was attacking feet, meowing, getting into trouble and just wouldn't go to bed. But she has been passed out all day today, so I think she finally hit her wall :)
Wasting time before sitting in traffic for two hours to go see a band play.

As mudanças nos cercam. Nada é imutável. Por mais que façamos tudo igual, a cada dia tudo fica diferente. Temos que estar prontos para as mais inesperadas reviravoltas. Às vezes estamos caminhando para o topo da escada, felizes, e caímos alguns degraus. E o oposto; estamos na nossa subida lenta e contínua e somos "promovidos" a pular alguns degraus. A primeira situação é desconcertante. Construímos passo a passo uma realidade ideal, repleta de sentimentos, ações, processos, e quando tudo parece no lugar, os ventos da mudança aparecem e mudam tudo. É injusto! Às vezes um pouco de inércia e rotina ajudam a nossa mente na organização dos pensamentos. Às vezes a nossa vontade é de dizer para os ventos da mudança: me esqueçam por um tempo, me deixem aqui em paz no ponto que eu cheguei às custas de muita luta e muito suor derramado. Mas os ventos não nos ouvem ou, talvez, saibam melhor que nós a hora de aparecerem.
the sign above it read: the water in this drinking fountain is perfectly clean and the toilet has never been used. So why do people often hesitate before taking a drink? Strong emotional association with objects or people make it difficult to act rationally around them. I couldn't bring myself to drink from this fountain.

In a distant future, a war rages between China and Japan over Hong Kong and the surrounding areas. Japan, facing a population crisis and famine, invades Hong Kong in a desperate bid for land. Among the many technological advancements employed in the war, one stands out: the "Grandmas" androids.
These androids were not specifically designed for war, but rather emerged from civilian purposes naturally. The idea behind their creation was to prolong the lives of elderly women by turning them into androids, half machine and half human. The creators of the Grandmas chose to use elderly women as the base for their androids because of the differences in neuroplasticity between young and old brains.
Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences. In young brains, neuroplasticity is high, allowing for quick learning and adaptation, but also making it harder to control the behavior of the brain. In contrast, in old brains, neuroplasticity is lower, making it easier to control and direct the behavior of the brain. This is why the creators of the Grandmas decided to use elderly women as the base for their androids.
However, as time passed, the Grandmas' brain tissue began to decay and artificial intelligence started to take over more and more parts of their brain. Despite this, their behavior remains the same, as the small parts of living brain tissue that still remain continue to dominate their behavior. Their primary function is to cook and care for all those around them, even other androids, although they do not need food themselves. They often pretend to eat just to make the other grandmas happy. They also tend to wounded or damaged androids, applying dirt and old rags to the damaged components and trying to comfort the machine. These behaviors are not programmed, but have developed naturally, as the Grandmas' loving and caring nature dominates their behavior.
In addition to their caretaking duties, the Grandmas also chat constantly, providing wisdom and anecdotes, spreading gossip, and talking the entire time. They have an endless stream of stories and observations from their long lives and they share them with anyone who will listen. They are also known to be a great source of comfort and solace for the soldiers on the battlefield, providing a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
Grandmas do not fight in combat, but they are often seen trying to break up furious fights on the battlefield, often putting themselves in danger to do so. On rare occasions, they will fight if they witness injustice on the battlefield, using all their advanced abilities to defend the innocent.
Despite the care and compassion that the Grandmas show, many humans avoid them and children are often scared of them, while adults are often annoyed by their caring nature. But as the war rages on, the Grandmas continue to provide a beacon of hope and humanity amidst the destruction and chaos. As the war progresses, the Grandmas become more and more important to the soldiers as they provide not only food and care, but also a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
The Grandmas' unique blend of advanced technology and human-like behavior make them a powerful symbol of the blurred lines between human and machine in this war-torn future. They may not have been specifically designed for war, but the Grandmas' presence on the battlefield serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, compassion and humanity can still prevail. Even as their brains decay and artificial intelligence takes over more and more of their functions, the Grandmas' ingrained behavior and love for others continues to shine through.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Soldiers and family members of the Fort Bragg community will soon have access to a new $14.7 million Behavioral Health Clinic, scheduled for completion by the end of 2012 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District and prime contractor Hensel Phelps. The 63,500-square-foot facility has a walking trail and extensive garden areas, including an on-grade healing garden for individual patient relaxation. One side of the building is constructed of transparent and frosted glass, which will provide views of the garden and existing wetlands from the patient waiting rooms. The facility will provide behavioral health and social work/family advocacy services in support of Soldiers, family members, and the Fort Bragg community. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.
