The Amway Hope Maker Foundation in Taiwan has launched a new campaign that helps children pursue their dreams.
The Pursue Your Dream Campaign asked children to share their dreams for what they want to be when they grow up. Some of the best applications covered a range that included sports competitions, education, art and culture
A 12-judge panel included government officials, celebrities, and the Foundation board and senior Amway Business Owners in Taiwan. The selected applicants were asked to give a presentation and answer questions in front of the judges. The general public was also asked to vote on their favorites.
Six final winners were awarded Dream Funds totaling NT$7,936,000 (US$ 271 K). They included the sponsorships to three sports teams, a young jazz band composed by several blind players, a college association for children in remote areas, and a canoeing tour around the island that hosted girls who had been abused.
The hope makers are now dream makers!

He served in the U.S. Navy from 1951 to 1955 and saw duty in the Korean War.

Mired in a four game losing streak, and just 1-5 for the season, the Washington Mystics made a roster move on Wednesday, signing free agent guard Shannon Bobbitt, and waiving veteran guard Dominique Canty.
Bobbitt was a second round pick, number 15 overall, by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2008 draft. Bobbitt spent two seasons with the Sparks before signing with the Indiana Fever last season. Bobbitt averages 3.9 points and 2.1 assists per game.
The release of Canty comes as a bit of a surprise, as does her lack of production in the Mystics lineup. The 14-year veteran was signed by the team in the offseason in an effort to bring a more experienced group of players to the court, after the team fielded one of the youngest squads in the league last season.
Canty began her career with the Detroit Shock, now the Tulsa Shock, then joined the now-defunct Houston Comets, and then the Chicago Sky. In her six games with the Mystics, Canty averaged 2.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game.

With the introduction of the Winter Park Institute, Rollins College celebrates the intersection of vital discourse in the academy and the intellectual engagement of our community.
Founded on the model of enterprises such as the Aspen Institute and the Santa Fe Institute, the Winter Park Institute offers exceptional occasions for visiting scholars and artists to interact with one another and members of the Rollins College faculty during short- or long-term residencies, and for members of the Rollins and Winter Park communities to enjoy unparalleled opportunities to share time with these thought leaders and participate as active listeners in some of their conversations. We look forward to providing our visiting fellows a fertile environment for both their scholarly pursuits and vibrant dialogue.
The Winter Park Institute promises to introduce new sources of intellectual capital into our campus and our community. We hope you will join us in this newest experiment in Rollins' long, proud tradition of innovation in liberal learning.

Fresh baked pies from Jane Callahan, owner of Pie Oh My! have been available in St. Louis at Local Harvest, , and in Kirkwood.
Beginning today Callahan will also sell from her own location, at 2719 Sutton Boulevard in Maplewood. She'll open her doors at 11 a.m.
All her pies are made from fresh, seasonal ingredients, such as the box of peaches sitting in her kitchen on Tuesday.
Callahan said she's currently baking coconut cream, banana cream, pear-blueberry and peach-blueberry. She said she's had a good reaction from an espresso-pecan-chocolate, so she'll be trying that one.
As she's been getting ready neighbors have peeked in to say hi, and some have had suggestions.
"The guys upstairs (The Core Group) are excited about a pecan-bourbon-chocolate, so I'm going to try that," she said.
When a customer walks in the front door, "hopefully they'll see mouthwatering pies they'll want to gobble up," Callahan said.
She'll have small, cupcake-size pies and some, slightly larger, available, along with Kaldi's coffee, tea, soda and bottled water.
Callahan hopes customers who want a full size pie will call, email or order it online and she'll have it ready for pickup. She said she'll also have frozen, ready-to-bake pies if someone absolutely needs an apple pie "right now."
Pie Oh My!'s hours are 11 a.m to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. If you need a slice and it's after 6:00, she's talking with and about carrying her pies.

Port of Subs Donates 100 Reno Aces' Tickets for MDA Family Day
The Muscular Dystrophy Association celebrates Family Day in honor of Counselors, Campers and MDA families of Reno
(Reno, Nev.) – Port of Subs announced today it will donate 100 Reno Aces game tickets to MDA campers, counselors and families of Northern Nevada and Northeastern California for this Sunday's July 12th game where the Aces take on the Las Vegas 51's, as well as a $1150 cash donation in support of the MDA Northern Nevada Chapter.
In addition, an MDA Camper will throw out the first pitch at 1:05 p.m. and an MDA family will read the "Lou Gehrig Farewell Speech" to the game crowd, as part of a joint partnership with MY21 Family Days.
"Receiving this kind of support from Port of Subs on such an important day means so much to so many MDA families," said Megan Troxel, Program Coordinator of MDA Northern Nevada Chapter. "Being able to bring some joy to our families and children, along with creating more awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association is extremely rewarding for everyone involved."
Port of Subs has partnered with the Reno Aces for the 2009 Season and sponsors the "Sub of the Game," giving away 2 Ft. sandwiches to lucky fans three times throughout each Aces home game.
"We are proud to be partnered with the Reno Aces for this exciting 2009 season in the new ballpark," stated Mike Powell, Port of Subs President. "These donations made in support of MDA families were something Port of Subs felt strongly about and we are very happy to participate in their Family Day."

The floors are lovely dark walnut with soft cotton rugs dashed around. The bed is a rice bed with mosquito netting hung like a canopy. Everything is lush shades of earthy greens and browns. And large windows and french doors open out onto nature.
There's a lovely ceiling fan whirring overhead.
The mattress is made of memory foam so I sink down into it with a smile.
There is no clutter and NO TV.
Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard when I read the topic for today. Especially when you called it your "Dream" room. LOL
Thanks for the laugh.
Lots of animal prints, very grown up. Big bed, mirror instead of a headboard, and my grandmothers vanity. It's all my style. Hardwood floors, animal print rug and lots of pillows on my bed.
Soft natural colors, warm.
Oh I could nap thinking about it.
I especially like the overhead fan. ALWAYS love those.
Enjoy that nap, Susie!
Be well, all. Dennis
I like Dennis's statement only mine has my Fantasy Dr in it.. My current Lung Dr is a total Dream-Boat. He would fit nicely in my "Dream Bedroom" altho we are both married.
WaaLaa---Hence the "Fantasy and Dream" room!!!
Right now, I share my bedroom with 2 dogs, one cat and one husband. But I sleep good. LOL.
Thanks for asking.
And it sounds like your current set-up is more condusive to actual sleep...
windows and French doors, enough of a roof overhang that the bright sun doesn't come in but plenty of light does.
Furniture is minimal: a kingsize bed with my beloved SelectComfort mattress. Smooth Egyptian sateen sheets, a good quilt. Pillows that stay cool. A place for my books (sorry, I read in bed) and a good reading light. Tile floors I could put a small throw rug on in winter.
The rest of the expected bedroom furniture (dresser, highboy...) would be in the bathroom/dressing area. Which space must be just as light and airy as the bedroom, with a whirlpool tub that could fit half the Redskins (NOPE! just for me and my beloved). Lots of room for clothing and shoes, so they could stay organized.
Your bedroom sounds lovely.
And I gather you're a Redskins fan? What happened to their defense yesterday? Still, good to have a good QB and more this season.
A whole house alarm for every cause that had back ups and batteries. I could always know I was safe.
A muscle relaxing gentle massage before I went to sleep with soft hypnotic music that sang a song of self affirmations in some subtext. I wouldn't feel pain in any part of my body (a miracle) or some nice side effect free immediately effective pain killer.
A sound proof room with black out blinds and drapes. The room would be 40 degrees. The carpet would be thick and soft. My bed would be the cool type of memory foam. The "Cloud" stuff. I would like soft cotton sheets and a fluffy light weight warm comforter. I want one of those cool and super adjustable pillows (4 of them) . All my linens feel crisp and smell like sunshine and fresh, clean country air of my youth as I slide between the covers.
A soft white noise machine set so that I didn't hear it but at some level I do hear and it lulls me into boredom. I would remember to wear my bite block every night. I wouldn't need a phone in my bedroom.
The kitty and pup would sleep soundly or come and go without me knowing and be able to get her own food and water to her liking as well go potty.
If I did awake, the potty is very close and the floor is warm under my feet. I can easily find my robe and it feels warm. The toilet flushes automatically and silently. The basin water is perfectly warm immediately.
a machine could be touched to my head to quickly help me to go back to sleep into a dreamless, deeply relaxed state where I could solve all my needed problems or issues without systemic physical stress.
an automatic gradual lightening of the room by the lifting of blinds/drapes or artificial lighting so that I wake naturally. Soft music starts to play and the smell of freshly brewed coffee and then the smell of cinnamon raisin toast fills the air. Fresh clean air comes through an opened window with birds singing outside. The temperature is 70 degrees.
I could open my eyes to a quiet world where even the pets wake up slowly and in a good mood. I would know that I lived on a temperate island with a view of the ocean. All my bills were paid for the rest of my life. That would be quite a "rest of my life" or at least a new meaning of retirement. Maybe I am still sleeping.....ZZzzzzz
My alarm clock would be a gradual lightening of my room by artificial or lifting/drawing of the drapes. Soft music would play and the smell of my freshly brewing coffee and toasting cinnamon raisin bread.
You gave this a lot of thoughts and I love the details you provide. You created a picture of a safe, warm, place to sleep. I like the idea of the gradual lightening of your room to wake you up along with the nummy smells.

Monitoring activities and system processes
Programs rarely reveal what they are doing in the background, but a few clever tools, of interest to both programmers and administrators, monitor this activity and log system functions.
One class of tools captures the events and function calls of compiled programs (and sometimes even of the entire system), producing logs known as traces. Programmers can use these logs to understand which function calls and actions lead to errors, and repeated entries could indicate race conditions or deadlocks. Reverse engineers might find debuggers useful, and kernel developers could gain insights into the typical processes between user space and the operating system kernel. Admins can use these tools to find out what's happening on a system, with traces helping them take a closer look at suspicious behavior. For example, if you monitor and log all calls to the system function open, a look at the debugger output could reveal which programs regularly produce temporary files of several gigabytes.

I can't even pinpoint exactly how I'm feeling right now, it's such a jumble. Happy, nervous, worried, anxious, sad, excited.
I think that, primarily, I'm feeling grateful: grateful that I didn't give up on myself and on my belief there was a good job out there for me in this moribund job market. I truly feel I'm one of the lucky ones, given my 50-plus age and the length of my unemployment.
Finding a job for myself, though, doesn't change my view of the "big picture" at all.
We had an opportunity to turn the economy around, in my opinion, if we'd changed our government in Washington two weeks ago. We didn't. So while I'll never accept that lousy economic conditions need to be "the new normal," I have little confidence now that things will get better anytime soon.
Maybe that's why my feelings are so mixed. Although I'm pleased about the potential improvement in my personal economic situation, I'm extremely concerned about the adverse effects on our national economy of another four years of the same policies.
The overall picture remains bad. Jobless claims are up, various taxes will rise for most of us in just weeks, the impending costs of ObamaCare are causing businesses to raise prices and cut workers' hours, and the stock market is declining. We may face another recession in 2013. It's difficult to discern a silver lining in these gathering storm clouds.
In addition, I've learned during my unemployment that, even if you're able to find a job, it doesn't mean that you can't end up losing that job in a future round of layoffs. I've read about this and I've seen it happen to people I know. Nothing is particularly secure these days and there's no sign that we're on verge of an economic boom.
Still, I'm determined to get off to a good start at my new job. I'm feeling positive, but I have lots of questions.
How will I adjust to all the changes: commuting, waking and sleeping hours, daily routines? Will I be able to combine my expanded personal life with my new work life? What's the workplace like these days? Are people with jobs just as stressed as people without them? How have things changed since I last worked in an office?
And am I too "mature" for all this change?
Nah, I don't think so. But I look forward to the chance to find out!

April 10, 2013
Governor Bob McDonnell is defending a $15,000 wedding gift from the owner of Star Scientific.
The money came from Johnnie Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Star Scientific, which is headquartered in Henrico, Virginia.
Williams' attorney said the $15,000 gift was to pay for catering at Cailin McDonnell's wedding.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday it obtained the catering contract signed by McDonnell, including notes he made to the caterer. The newspaper reports that McDonnell paid nearly $8,000 in deposits for the catering. His wife received a more than $3,500 refund for catering overpayment.
McDonnell said he did not publicly disclose the gift because the money went to his daughter and no to him.
"I have been doing this for 22 years," said Gov. McDonnell. "The gifts that come to me I regularly, diligently report those as a statement of economic interest done annually. But gifts that come to other family members, under the current law, are not reportable."
Governor and First Lady Maureen McDonnell have both supported Star Scientific, including hosting an event at the Governor's Mansion, where the company's products were featured.
McDonnell said, this is similar to other activities he has taken in the past to assist publicly traded companies in Virginia.

Angels visit is chance to build on unbeaten run
8:53am Friday 5th October 2012 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Sutton United boss Paul Doswell has challenged his players to get two points per game in the Blue Square South, and so far they delivering.
Speaking after their first win in 10 league games on Tuesday night, Doswell revealed they have put matches into groups of five and that they want 10 points from each segment.
The challenge started with the 1-1 draw at Tonbridge Angels last weekend, continued with the 1-0 mid-week win over Chemlsford City and goes into the visit of Tonbridge on Saturday.
Doswell said: "We've put the coming games into five-game segments and we've asked for two points per game if we can.
"So far we've got four points from two games, so we're on our way to getting to our little targets.
"Traditionally, we beat Tonbridge at their place and they beat us here. That is something we need to be aware of."
He added: "But what this win over Chelmsford does is give you that confidence and puts a smile back on your face and makes you keep the faith in what you are doing.
"We've only lost three games out of the first 10 in the league, but when you're losing you don't ever think you're going to win again, and when you're winning you don't see where the next defeat is going to come from and that's football.
"Last year we had a run of 15 games without losing and we're going to have to do something similar this year at some point.
"If we can get a win on Saturday that is five games unbeaten, including two wins. So it could be the kick start that we needed."
Tonbridge are enduring a start to the season similar to Sutton. It took them eight attempts to get their first win, although they had drawn five of the previous seven games, and they arrive at Gander Green Lane on the back of an unbeaten run of eight games, with a 2-1 win at Eastbourne Borough on Tuesday night being the most recent.

Extremely rare and coveted, Indonesian Kopi Luwak coffee is produced by civets, a relative of the mongoose, who has a taste for the sweet, red coffee cherries that contain the beans. The beans pass through the civet after fermenting in the stomach and that's what gives the coffee its unique taste and aroma. Collected from the jungle floor, then thoroughly washed and dried - this is the coffee that everyone's been talking about.
With earthy Sumatra-like tones, the Kopi Luwak has a heavy, caramel body and low acidity, but also a nuance in the taste that is hard to put the finger on. Perhaps that is unsurprising given the unorthodox method of processing.
Coffee is stored within an elegant box and makes a perfect gift.

The Cullman Times
When Cullman Police Chief Kenny Culpepper asked the question, "Can we save everyone?", the answer was a sobering, "Probably not."
Standing before a crowd of educators last week to go over plans for increasing safety at area schools, in the aftermath of the shooting deaths in Newtown, Conn., Culpepper and other law enforcement officials joined with school personnel in reviewing plans and offering some new methods of protecting students and teachers.
Some of the measures include reinforced doors with stronger glass and classroom doors with deadbolts — all delaying actions that could save lives while police speed toward a potential outbreak of violence at a school.
The scene in Cullman is similar to what is happening across the nation. Officials and parents are working closely to find ways to stop or reduce the carnage of a gunman bursting into a school.
There was a time when many communities felt immune from the horrible scenes that were reported in Oregon, Colorado and most recently Connecticut. But Americans are seeing that no place in the country is guaranteed a pass from such violence.
Many of the crimes committed against children in schools, or a movie theater or shopping mall, have been unfolding in some of the most peaceful settings in the nation. The motivation for the violence is unclear. Investigations have shown that some of the individuals responsible for the crimes were loners, struggling to fit into society. Many of the shooters were also known their academic excellence and abilities to be something more than what they eventually became in life.
Some people blame reductions in mental health care, violent video games, movies and television shows, the decline of the American family, and the easy availability of weapons designed for mass destruction. The more narrow view focus on one issue, but all indications point to a variety of causes behind the violence.
Communities are being forced to create fortresses to protect their children, and under the circumstance that is appropriate. But attention should be turned to the issues — all of them — that appear to be driving senseless violence into our lives.

It is National School Choice Week in America. On Wednesday, the American Federation for Children, a national organization promoting school choice, held a celebration at Friendship Chamberlain Elementary Charter School in Washington D.C. Other countries, such as Israel, are also experimenting with school choice and early education programs.
On a recent visit to Israel I met Dr. Shahaf Gal, founder and chief executive of Nomad Horizon, a company for educational innovation. Gal is one of the initiators of the Israel Ministry of Education's school choice initiative.
Proponents of school choice in Israel are not concerned about whether some teachers are unionized and others are not. They see education as having far-reaching consequences, beyond whether the school is doing a good job of teaching. The common thread is that parents, rather than local officials, should have some choice over where their children are educated.
The Ministry of Education, together with the Ministry of Finance, has a pilot project where 25 municipalities, including Haifa, Netanya, and Rishon Le'Tzion are experimenting with school choice in elementary and middle schools. The Ministry is considering eventually expanding school choice to the entire country.
Super Bowl: Beats Music ad
Ellen DeGeneres's Goldilocks dances to a different rhythm, in this Super Bowl ad for Beats Music.
Gal told me that in the pilot projects about 20% of parents chose to move their children to other schools. The vast majority of parents — 95% — got their first-choice school.
The Israeli school-choice program has multiple benefits, according to Gal. Its major long-run goal is to raise academic standards. The Ministry is still collecting data on achievement levels. Another benefit is decentralization, which allows municipalities to be more responsive in their educational offerings to their communities.
Another object of the Israeli school-choice program is integrating diverse populations, such as native-born Jews with the new Ethiopian and Russian immigrants. Many of these families are low income. Unlike competitive New York City schools such as Stuyvesant High School and the Bronx High School of Science, Israeli schools cannot select students. When children apply to the schools, whatever their background, the school has to take them and accommodate them.
To ensure diversity, localities are required to set up an application process that maintains and improves social integration. In order to improve parents' access to information, municipalities are given funds to provide information in several languages related to the diverse populations. For example, the websites to enable parents to select the schools may have to be in Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, and Russian.

A further advantage of school choice in Israel is that municipalities are provided with incentives to enhance parental choice by setting up more specialized schools, such as schools in the arts, technology, medicine and nursing, languages, and marine biology. This is similar to President Obama's schools and education opportunity agenda proposed as part of his State of the Union Address, namely providing high school students with vocational education they need to work in industry. Read: The State of the Union I'd like to see.
"When you diversify, you create more opportunities and choice," Gal told me.
Of course, not all the specialized schools work out. One attempt at an agricultural school foundered because parents looked on agriculture as a low-skill occupation. And a full evaluation of the program has yet to take place in order to measure the short- and long-term benefits.
School choice is not Israel's only educational initiative. The Sifriyat Pijama program is trying to improve early education by encouraging excitement about books and reading among young children. In one nursery school I visited in the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem, the children had just received a free book to take home, one of eight monthly picture books they will receive during the school year from Sifriyat Pijama. The program was founded by the U.S.-based Harold Grinspoon Foundation. It now operates in partnership with the Ministry of Education, which helps distribute the books.
When I entered the school, the three- and four-year-old children were sitting in a circle as the teacher read them the book about Tzafrir, a little boy who finally received his first pair of rainboots, and who could go for a walk with his brother and parents in the mud. At the end of the day, the children took the books home in special bags and read them with their parents.

The Amherst Town Board will meet at 3 p.m. today at the Amherst Municipal Building, 5583 Main St.
It's a relatively light agenda but here are two items of interest. The board may once again consider a rezoning of a parcel across from Williamsville South High School that a developer wants to turn into a mixed-use apartment and retail complex.
Also noteworthy are recommended changes to the town's controversial backyard chicken permitting process recommended by zoning board chairman Matt Plunkett.
Click here for the full agenda for this afternoon's meeting. And remember -- there's no 7 p.m. meeting tonight, just the 3 p.m.

We've talked about arXiv here before. It's a pre-print server for scientific papers in the fields of physics, mathematics, and computer sciences. Basically, what that means is that scientists can post papers to the site without first putting that research through the process of peer review. And that's not a bad thing. ArXiv is a great way for scientists and mathematicians to critique each other's work and do a little bit of vetting before submitting the paper to peer review. That's why the faster-than-light neutrino reports were published on arXiv—the results looked so crazy that the researchers wanted their colleagues to figure out what had gone wrong before a prestigious journal got involved. It's a way of collaborating.
The other nice thing about arXiv: It's a great home for interesting data that doesn't necessarily have a place in a formal, peer-reviewed journal.
Case in point: "The Proof of Innocence", a paper in which physicist Dmitri Krioukov uses math to explain why the cop who stopped him for running a stop sign was clearly seeing things. Physics Central summarizes the first step in this defense:
When Krioukov drove toward the stop sign the police officer was approximating Krioukov's angular velocity instead of his linear velocity. This happens when we try to estimate the speed of a passing object, and the effect is more pronounced for faster objects.
Trains, for instance, appear to be moving very slowly when they are far away, but they speed past when they finally reach us. Despite these two different observations at different distances, the train maintains a roughly constant velocity throughout its trip.
In Krioukov's case, the police cruiser was situated about 100 feet away from a perpendicular intersection with a stop sign. Consequently, a car approaching the intersection with constant linear velocity will rapidly increase in angular velocity from the police officer's perspective.
Krioukov's basic argument: The officer thought he saw Krioukov speed right through the sign. But he was wrong. Instead, Krioukov stopped at the sign, but stopped very quickly and sped up quickly, both of which happened out of the cop's direct line of sight.
It's worth noting that this argument was good enough to get Krioukov out of a $400 fine.
Read the summary on Physics Central.

Really? Because while I follow the summary you provided (and haven't clicked through to look at the original), it seems to me that the driver indeed didn't accelerate towards the intersection, contrary to the cop's possible perception, but on the other hand the driver didn't stop at the sign long enough for the cop to notice, and their "rolling stop" probably was a moving violation.
dragonfrog says:
Indeed, you should click through to look at the paper.
bcsizemo says:
I've always wondered if radar guns have a way to compensate for the off angle axis to which many are used..
ocker3 says:
Surely a radar gun could do the basic trig required to work out the vehicle's actual rate of movement?
bcsizemo says:
Actually looking at Wikipedia it basically states they don't take angle offsets into account:
Mobile traffic enforcement radar must occupy a location above or to the side of the road, except when the roadway is occupied by only one vehicle. The user must understand trigonometry to "guess" vehicle speed as the direction changes while a single vehicle moves within the field of view when positioned adjacent to the roadway. Vehicle speed and radar measurement are rarely the same for this reason.
I guess that explains the old 5mph over rule.
macegr says:
If you didn't stop long enough to scan the whole intersection (about 2 seconds), you might as well have not stopped at all. Stop signs, at least, are one traffic rule that is almost purely about safety for drivers and pedestrians. You don't treat them as an arbitrary rule that you obey just enough to not get caught. They notify you that you need to check to make sure the way is clear, and that someone else isn't about to run a stop sign and hit you.
AlexG55 says:
Here in the UK, we don't have very many stop signs. We have "Give Way" (yield) signs where in my experience there would be a stop sign in the US. Our roads are still relatively safe (I think safer than in the US).
Checking that the way is clear does not always require you to bring the car to a complete stop. Especially if you're turning left (or right in countries that drive on the right), you only need to check for traffic in one lane, and it is often safe to do that while moving slowly.
Joel Phillips says:
… he had a terrible cold that day, and one sneaky sneeze caused him to slam on the brakes hard as he approached the stop sign
Given that he claims that he was stationary for a very short time this means that without the sneeze, he'd have gone through the stop sign. Perhaps he should have been fined for driving without due care and attention?

robcat2075 says:
On the original forum one commenter notes that no evidence is provided that this incident ever happened and another notes that based on his own testimony he didn't actually stop long enough for a legal stop.
Rossi says:
It can't be ignored that this paper was published on April 1. Although there doesn't seem to be any indication of shenanigans. I was curious enough to email Krioukov and he indicated that the court case was real. That's good enough for me.
Roy Trumbull says:
Something I expect to show up in a case before long involves the validity of video tape evidence shot as MPEG. Only the I frames are real complete snapshot like images. The B frames and the P frames are concocted from information in I frames. An attorney could blow this up and claim the entire image can't be used as evidence. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
schlocktober says:
I'm showing that to my algebra 1 class tomorrow! They won't get the trig, but they get $400.
tobergill says:
I suspect that "happened out of the cop's direct line of sight." has more bearing on this dismissal than fancy physics. How the heck does a cop testify to something he didn't see?
MandoZink says:
Using AutoCAD, I created a 4-panel PDF poster showing how a radar gun can double a speed reading a you near a stationary flat surface facing your vehicle. I used the published radar gun's operations and basic physics to show what actually happened to me while driving one night. Outside court, when the cop saw the rolled up drawings (I had a detailed area contour map, too) he asked what they were. I chuckled, said "Just wait til we see the judge ", and walked away. After a few minutes in the courtroom, the cop walked in, whispered to the judge and left. He had told the judge to just drop the charges.
heng says:
Stop signs are one of the most annoying things about (the very limited set of which I have experience of) American roads. On the corner of *every* grid is a stop sign (or lights, which are even worse) and you *have* to stop. And this experience was primarily on a bike, which apparently are still required to stop. One really feels the energy wastage when cycling, so I can only guess at the total increase in the carbon footprint of the US of having soo many junctions and requiring every vehicle to stop at every one.
I learned 2 things from this – (1) grid systems are stupid for if you don't want the world to be ruled by cars (every branch will get used, making every street a busy street) and (2) roundabouts are fantastic.
AlexG55 says:
I think some states allow bicycles to treat stop signs as yield signs.
glatt1 says:
I agree with you that roundabouts are better than stop signs, but you are wrong about grid systems. If you have a grid, you are correct that every branch is used for cut through traffic. But because that traffic is spread out throughout the whole grid, no street is busy. In fact, you can set low speed limits on each street, and still move cars more quickly than if you have separate developments connected by huge arteries. Spend any time in a modern US suburb, and you will see how terribly congested roads can get when there is no grid and all cars must go out to the main road to go anywhere.
heng says:
I would argue the problem is a more related to poor transport planning. Too many cars is the *real* problem. I absolutely accept that cars distributed over the grid means no roads are stupidly busy, but I never was in a position where I felt I was away from cars. Even in London I feel that there is always a route I can take on a bike or foot that is largely away from cars, wherever I want to go.
AlexG55 says:
When I first saw this story, I thought it was the more usual case of traffic-cop maths- "I had to do 80 mph to catch up with you, therefore you must have been speeding".
Listener43 says:
… and I was expecting the old Doppler Effect idea that "the light looked green to me" excuse. It's always fun to calculate the speed required for that kind of blue-shift.
Mark in CA says:
This is mostly BS wrapped in a veneer of respectability. The only part that may have worked in his favor is saying his car was not visible to the cop at the time he stopped. I especially liked his description for estimating his rate of deceleration, saying that he sneezed at the moment he applied the brakes, therefore he assumed he stopped as quickly as possible. Which also means he was not able to control where he stopped, and very likely did not stop at the stop line.
daen says:
Yes, the assumption of symmetric deceleration and acceleration is just lazy, but still pretty much guaranteed to get past a non-mathematically savvy court. I suspect they let him off simply because of the obscuring of the cop's field of view by the other car – I also suspect Dr K did coast through the intersection, given the rather extreme deceleration, short pause, and symmetrical extreme acceleration required for the illusion to hold …
Palomino says:
(Almost) every big rig driver knows about angular velocity & linear velocity. No, not in those exact terms, but when idiots pull out or step in front of you (I drove and articulated bus), they think you're going 20 when you're really going 40. We call 'em suicide attempts.
Or "hey, that's a big bus, it must have BIG breaks, therefor it can stop faster."
Or the person pushing a stroller, which dangles out in traffic. All they know is they are safe on the sidewalk, but have no idea something is sticking four feet out in front of them.
The city of Seattle's Metro Transit has an excellent class B licensing and training course.
Bill Heffner says:
That has actually been debunked. The court said that the ticked was dismissed not because of the paper but because the court determined that the cop was not positioned properly and did not have an adequate view of the intersection.

text: Are Second Terms Good for Stocks? By Chris Gay Nov. 7, 2012 | 9:23 a.m. EST + More A look at markets in the first year of a second term. Next » 1 of 15 (JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images) If it's really uncertainty that's holding back the economy, there's one less wild card today than there was yesterday. Will President Obama's newly extended White House lease spur the markets upward? He has, after all, presided over a period of fairly strong equity markets, as indeed have Democrats historically (as we show here). But the end of electoral uncertainty doesn't always help the market, whose record under returning incumbents is mixed. (Here, by the way, is one measure in which "Republican" markets beat "Democratic" markets: The first year after re-election has produced an average 9.8-percent rise in the Dow under Republicans and an average 1.6-percent decline under Democrats.) Since 1900, White House incumbents have been returned to power 13 times and thrown out four times. Here's how the market did in the first year after those 13 resumed power. Next: Year: 1905

Pella —
Washington school was about two miles east of Dallas. If the records are correct, this picture was taken the last year this school was in session. One wonders why they did not continue as there were certainly enough pupils to support a school. Did the building burn down? Did they consolidate with Dallas or another neighboring district? The school was known locally as the Sheepskin school, and I'm sure there's a story there as it's far from its very patriotic name of Washington.
In the Journal of Nov. 1889 is a reference to the fact that the older farm boys are going back to school after corn harvest. Because they often stayed home for spring planting as well as harvesting, some of them were nearing 20 before they finally completed their education.
"The boys gladly leave corn husking for a year and while their sore fingers are healing in the school house, their heads will be taking in knowledge for future use."
Teachers were Etta Steele 1883; Miss Johnston 1884; B. F. Kirk 1885; Emma Johnston; Maggie Shawner 1886; Laura Essex 1889; Laura Essex; Miss Letitia Keefer 1893; Miss Mary Maddy 1894; May Maddy 1895; Lora Myers 1898; Mary Kelley 1899; Mary Kelley; Ella McKinney 1900; Lizzie McKinney; Lora Myers 1901; Lizzie McKinney; Carrie Hunt 1902; Elaine Stillwell; Efffie McIntire; Carrie Hunt 1904; Anna Ridenour; Mrytle Brauner 1905; Myrtle Brauner 1906-08; Myrtle Brauner; Nora Willis 1909; Ruby Palmer; Ida Fenon; Chas.

Water hammer occurs when the flow of moving
water is suddenly stopped by a closing valve. This sudden
stop results in a tremendous spike of pressure behind the
valve which acts like a tiny explosion inside the pipe. This
pressure spike reverberates throughout the plumbing system,
rattling and shaking pipes, until it is absorbed. Normally, a
sufficient pocket of air will absorb such a pressure spike, but
if no pocket of air is present, expensive fixtures and appliances
within the plumbing system will be damaged as they
are left to absorb this pressure spike.

We installed a new High Efficiency washer and it turns the water on and off multiple times throughout a normal wash cycle. From the first use of this washer, we immediately had excessive water hammer, shuttering our pipes throughout the house. I installed a Sioux Chief mini-arrestor on both the hot and cold water supplies and they completely relieved our water hammer problem. Thanks to PexSupply [...] we could get rid of that annoying water hammer.

Worth every cent!
By Campy
from Cape Cod, MA
Attached the hammer arresters to the back of my new washer in less than 5 minutes. The annoying banging I had been experience since the washer was installed went away. All I now get when using the machine is silence! I got so much for so little. What a buy.
They Really Work
By John
from Quakertown, PA
My washing machine was sending loud, pounding shock waves to and through all the adjacent plumbing every time it started a wash or rinse cycle as it pulsed shots of water into the load of clothes. I simply disconnected the hoses at the machine, installed the Water Hammer Arrestors to each water input, and reconnected the hoses to the Arrestors. Now all is quiet and calm. They really work.

Comments about Mini-Rester Water Hammer Arrestor - 3/8"" O.D. Compression x 3/8"" O.D. Female Compression Tee (Lead Free):
This item was difficult to find in our town so was excited to find it at Pex. This goes on the bottom of our dishwasher and stops the hammer in the pipes with the quick on/off that these new dishwashers have. We have high water pressure which creates the pressure and this helps adjust the pressure. Now my dishwasher is quiet like it is supposed to be.
Just what we ordered
By Double H

Ordered shipped and received in days. Product was exactly what we expected. None of the big box stores had instock. I could of saved a lot of time and gas money if I had only ordered online.
Newer Washer Need Two (2)
By Scooterbuddy40
from Manning, IA
I used the Model 660-H for back of the washer Hot & Cold water lines, and it helped with the water hammer, but did not completely solve the water hammer & the pulsation (banging) of my hot & cold water lines (pex). So I called Sioux Chief and asked about cutting a 2nd unit into my pex piping (Model 660-GTX2)they said with newer washer and the high efficency washers the recommend two (2) units. The washers' hot & cold valves open and close so many times that it can not only wear out the valves but the pex tubing as well.
Worked like a charm!
By jkeng
from Long Island, NY
These worked great! I have them mounted side ways and they still cured my banging problem.

Alpha Chi of Pi Kappa Phi
In 1969, the Alpha Chi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was forced to close, after spending more than twenty years dominating the greek scene at UM. Forty years later, a new group of student leaders at "The U" came together to form a new kind of greek organization, and the Alpha Chi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was reborn.
United in ambition and perseverance, Pi Kappa Phi Alpha Chi is rooted in our history and dedicated to reclaiming the esteem and notoriety of those who preceded us. Two years ago, we displayed our abilities by acquiring our fraternity house, renovating it and beating out several other well-established fraternities for the spot.
PiKapp has already proven to be a dominant force in interfraternity competition and sports. We are a major contender to hoist the IFC President's Cup, the yearly award consummating all fraternity athletic events, by year's end.
Our philanthropy, Push America, is the only philanthropy maintained and run by a national fraternity. Our first ever philanthropy event this past Fall, Pirate Plunge, was a huge success with sorority sisters all across campus. After successful mixers and semiformal boat cruise in downtown Miami, the momentum has been set for an even more dominant spring semester.
After four years on campus, PiKapp is back in a big way. However, despite what we have already accomplished, we still want much more for our chapter. If you're a young leader, looking to be a part of the fastest-expanding greek organization at the University of Miami, rush PiKapp this fall.

An escapee on the lam is back in custody thanks to his sweet tooth.
Members of the Fugitive Task Force cornered 27-year-old Corey Smith at a donut shop near 72nd and Jones in Omaha Friday morning. Smith tried to drive away after ramming an unmarked cruiser, but didn't get far by going over a curb and disabling his car. Officers used a Taser on him.
Nobody was hurt and damage to the cruiser was minimal. Smith was doing time for theft when he walked away from work release.
