My contribution is this fantastic presentation by physicist Lisa Randall at the Origins conference in Tallahassee Florida, broadcast last Friday as part of NPR's Science Friday show. Randall is the author of Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions, a popular science book that addresses fundamental questions about the nature of the universe. On this show, Randall explains what an expanding universe is expanding into, the relationship of gravity, magnetism and hidden time-space dimensions, and other mind-benders about the origin of the universe (she also talks a little about the role of women in science).

What would you accept as evidence!?
What do you mean by mind? What is this "mind" you keep talking about. You mean the activity of your brain? You believe in dualism? Ok, but this is about science not philosophy. You don't get to make stuff up.
Antinous / Moderator says:
I know your type. You denied the existence of microwaves and the possibility of flight. The idea that nothing exists until it's been proven is the antithesis of scientific thinking.
TroofSeeker says:
Thanks guys! I completely understand everything you've said, except who the hell is General Relativity? Is he in the British Army?
TroofSeeker says:
I can just see our Village Idiot asking a physicist to prove that Time exists, as opposed to just being distance.
The physicist replies "Stand right there, don't move, and I'll tell you tomorrow."
No offense, Amigo. Maybe you're right. After all, just standing there aren't you traveling at about 1,037mph, or so?
Antinous / Moderator says:
After all, just standing there aren't you traveling at about 1,037mph, or so?
Only if you don't count the Earth's movement around the Sun, or the rotation of the Milky Way, or the changing distance between our galaxy and an undefinable universal reference point.
And your electrons are traveling even faster around your atomic nuclei.
jennylens says:
So where's the discussion on ADA LOVELACE?? We women NEVER get the credit due re technology, esp those who were the true pioneers. It's hard for us to be respected and encouraged if we are constantly left out of history, whether it's tech, movies, art, and more.
Let's NOT quibble whether Ada or Mdme Curie deserve more fame. They were sisters under the skin, fearless scientific pioneers, who changed history and civilization. Ada had a short, difficult life, but left behind ideas and writing which changed the course of civilization.
Don't forget that Eli Whitney DID NOT invent the cotton gin. Women were NOT allowed to patent ideas, but many feel Catherine Littlefield Greene invented it. The list goes on and on. The point is women are STILL belittled and ignored and not encouraged to be techies.
I am so glad boingboing.net blogged about Ada. My article about her is up and running, plus I've emailed female PHP coders, who NEVER heard of her. I'm not even a "trained" programmer, but ran across her name here and there.
Thank G-d some women who have brains use them, no matter the obstacles! Most know me cos of my punk photos, but without my insatiable techie brain, the photos would never be online. Many only think of me as an artist. Art and technology are merely two sides of the same coin.
So sink your teeth into that one.
Now, a moment of gratitude towards Ada Lovelace, who affected EVERYONE using a computer.

lf says:
Is there an exact ratio you had in mind as an equality target for citations of brilliant contributors' genders? Gotta be sure it's all even-steven… right I get it. Of course if it's then discovered that some other inconsequential trait separates us from duly honoring accomplishment we'll have to address that too. It's only fair, you'd agree?
Let us hope one day merit can be based not on the history of one's physical attributes, but on the substantive effort of the actual individual.

Can anyone explain to me why this particular day became Lovelace Day, instead of, say, her birthday? Or why the previous post said Lovelace day was 3/24 – tomorrow?
FoetusNail says:
We like Jill Tarter, who recently won a TED prize. We first found out about her in a children's book about her work on the SETI project at Arecibo. Carl Sagan wrote about her work in his book Contact.

Speaking of x-rays, remionds me of Rosalind Franklin. Without her x-rays Crick, Watson, and Wilson would be unknown lab rats.
TroofSeeker says:
Say, Takky, and all you smart fellers,
while we're on physics, lemme axe you guys a question that I've asked physicists and others, none of whom seemed sure of their answer:
Does electricity travel at the speed of light?
Please indicate whether you're guessing or know fer sure.
sfazzios says:
I read this book a few years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. In terms of physics writing, I'd put Lisa Randall in the same group as Brian Greene and Lee Smolin.
sfazzios says:
@my previous post. Note: I'd put them in the same group based on writing style, quality, and intended audience. I certainly wouldn't put them in the same group based on views and content (I don't think Lee Smolin would appreciate being grouped with Brian Greene).
subhan says:
Umm, Ada Lovelace day is tomorrow, not today.
Cupcake Faerie says:
Electricity by itself , e.g. lightning, does not travel at light speed (lightining can travel at good percentage of light, 60,000 miles/second (wikipedia)) ,but it is a form of matter that has mass (plasma) and thus cannot travel at light speed. Electricity, too, is composed of electrons – again matter – so it does not travel at light speed. This is not the full story. Electrons exchange a force particle with other matter particles – protons for instance . These exchange (force communicating) particles are "photons". Photons *are* energy and they *are* light particles (quanta). They have no mass whatsoever and so travel at that upper (universal) speed limit – the speed of light, symbolized by physisists as 'C' (e=m*c^2), and goes at 182,282 miles per second.
cellocgw says:
I found the book to be semi-interesting (IAAP, albeit with just an ABD). People who do read this book should be aware that not all theorists think string/brane theory is on the right track. Aside from the near-untestability of the theories (due to the high-energy regimes needed), the ever-increasing levels of complexity suggest to some that the basic premises have gone awry.
Ian Holmes says:
My picks:
computer programming: Ada Lovelace (along with her mother, Anne Milbanke, for steering her into math instead of poetry)
electronic music: Delia Derbyshire
structural biology: Rosalind Franklin, Dorothy Hodgkin
genetics: Barbara McClintock
microbiology: Bonnie Bassler
bioinformatics: Ruth Nussinov
molecular evolution: Margaret Oakley Dayhoff
Village Idiot says:
"Does electricity travel at the speed of light?"
Are we talking AC or DC?
You know, I have a few remaining Cosmological questions myself. The old cliche that used to annoy Bertrand Russell, "'What is mind?' No matter. 'What it matter?' Never mind" answers most Big Questions to my satisfaction, but I'd still like a physicist to explain why they think time exists.
I have seen no evidence for it. All I see is motion, and anything called "time" can be explained by motion, and in fact all our measures of time refer to motion. Lacking a discreet time dimension would not allow everything to happen at once since everything would still have to move from where it is to where it's going, so what keeps everything from happening all at once is distance, apparently. This is compatible with General Relativity if we consider a gravitational time dilation to be a function of the increased distance electromagnetic waves must travel due to the warping of space caused by a massive object.
BTW: Wormholes are how our brain stores memories, and why we can fit this whole big Multiverse inside our head even though our head is an almost negligibly small part of the Multiverse. Mind, not Time, is the 4th dimension (it's a container smaller than that which it contains). But I could be wrong, though somewhere there's a parallel dimension where I'm probably correct, and today I'm pretending it's this one.
hypatia says:
Did you really miss the part where JennyLens was talking about people, contributors to science, important scientists whose work /wasn't/ recognized due to stupid crap like women not being able to file patents?
It's never been about making things even-steven. leave the strawfeminists out of this – ALD is about celebrating the women who do science, because there hasn't been enough celebration so far.
Takuan says:
TroofSeeker says:
Sorry, MDH, but there's been a paradigm shift- OctoMom is at the center now. I blame the Bush administration.
But on the subject of Women Of Science, I'm hoping Dr. Bones is an inspiration for a new generation of young Ladies of Science. She's such a babe, and she kicks ass! She's the new millenium equivalent of Our Man Flint.
jennylens says:
@29 re @26: thanks for responding. I have NO idea what @26 was ranting about. Me thinks LF is not a woman. I've yet to meet a woman who wasn't constantly struggling as a young girl to learn science and math and not be discouraged by teachers, fellow students, parents, media, etc.
I have no idea why at the age of 5 I wanted to be the next Mdme Curie. How had I even heard of her? But by the time I got into high school, after Biology 2 and Chemistry 2, I realized I was in for a life of rejection from men in science.
I turned to my other love and focused on art. But I've never turned off my love of science. Without my mostly self-taught techie skills, I wouldn't be able to share my photos with the world. I have fans — I know peeps laugh when I say that. But my photos have inspired many. I have brought joy, solace and more to countless thousands of people whose lives have literally been changed by my photos. I had no idea, no one does, until you read my emails.
But without people like Ada Lovelace and all the women programmers and scientists and techies in the world, my art would not be seen.
Think how boring and empty this world would be without women, and how hard we've struggled. And the irony so many young (and some older) women have NO idea the small gains, and willingly give them up, due to being afraid of being too masculine or heaven forbid, being called a feminist.
These are just little instances how women are part of the continuum, but not recognized, not encouraged and kept in line because we value our femininity, but never a feminist.
I was just at a PHP Meetup Sunday at Mahalo's office in Santa Monica. Three of the four women there discussed this very fact. We are surrounded and diminished by men. We were so pleased the speaker is a woman. An experienced PHP programmer, speaker and teacher. Who never heard of Ada Lovelace.
I love men and most of my pals are men (but I don't work as a programmer). But in the techie world, we are still living as second-class citizens too often. We have more choices now, but we really have to work at it and assert ourselves more than many men.
How sad — wouldn't it be better if we could just focus on the work instead?
Ada Lovelace was quite an inspiration. Read about her difficult life, her illnesses and yes, her death at the hands of medical "experts" who bled her to death.
Hmm, do you think a woman would allow another woman to bleed to death? Do you think the earlier healers, the female herbalists called witches so the male medical profession could rule the roost, would drain the body's most precious fluids, or look to other healing methods?
THAT is what this is about. Women have so much to give, we are healers, compassionate, energetic, and bright. Let's celebrate and encourage women in technology and thank them for all they have given us. In many cases, women have made our lives better, but without recognition or personal gain. That's what this is about.
If you don't get that, well, I'm glad I don't walk in your shoes. You have no heart nor compassion, and I could not live that way.
Let's give credit where credit is due, with joyous gratitude.
TroofSeeker says:
"Forget this world and all its troubles and if
possible its multitudinous Charlatans — every thing in short but the Enchantress of Numbers."
Cupcake Faerie says:
@ #5
That's still very good company – even if Smolin disagrees with Greene about string theory.
thechicgeek says:
And here I thought Madame Curie was famous. Maybe it's me, but I think her contribution to science was one of the most significant. That's not to take anything away from Lisa Randall, or anyone else for that matter). Hell, my fiance is a scientist! But, hands down, Marie Curie has my vote.

It's hard to imagine a hooch more Idaho-sounding than corn-and-tater moonshine just don't expect it to be distilled illegally in a backwoods shack.
Grand Teton Distillery, near Driggs in the Teton Valley, is the creator of three Gem State moonshines new to state liquor stores.
Rolling in at 80 proof, Teton Moonshine is labeled as "blended American whiskey." It's distilled from an 80/20 split of corn and potato, says Grand Teton co-owner James Morrison. Two additional "flavored whiskey" versions arrive at 70 proof: Spiced Apple Pie Moonshine and Huckleberry Moonshine. A 750-milliliter bottle costs $19.95 - $1 more than Grand Teton's award-winning potato vodka. (The company also recently began selling vodka infused with Oregon cherries. Yum, right?)
Years ago, the word "moonshine" described illicit booze transported under the light of the moon. Today's commercialized definition refers to unaged white whiskey, which heads to the jar or bottle without the added color, flavor and mellowing of barrel aging.
Some retail moonshines come with fruit in the container. Grand Teton's does not, but it's packaged in a little jug that looks good in a home liquor cabinet.
The Spiced Apple Pie and Huckleberry varieties are created using a concentrated flavoring, Morrison says. During informal holiday taste testing I held with friends, the golden-colored Spiced Apple Pie was the easy winner between the two. The nose is filled with cinnamon-laced apple sweetness. The smooth flavor conjures up Mom's freshly baked pie, right down to a subtle buttery crust. Maybe add it to a few ounces of cream for a pie a la mode cocktail?
The dark-colored Huckleberry drew wider-ranging reviews. It has a huckleberry fragrance, but a couple of tasters noted a syrupy, medicinal quality to its flavor.
The higher-octane, nonflavored Teton Moonshine is, well, what it is - crystal clear corn (and potato) whiskey. Splash it in a tin cup and go for it, Grandpa: Here's your Idaho mountain dew. It isn't overtly rough, but sipping it "neat," you are fully aware that you are swallowing 80-proof alcohol. Most drinkers probably would prefer to mix it like vodka.
Better yet, keep your eyes peeled for an age-your-own-whiskey kit. Grand Teton hopes to sell reuseable 2-liter oak barrels sometime in 2014. Pour in a couple of bottles of Teton Moonshine, and voila: "You get a good whiskey aged with a nice brown color in six months," Morrison explains.
Now that could be fun.

Bottles of Ketchum-crafted beer just appeared in Boise.
Sawtooth Brewery's Freeheeler Rye IPA and Sheepherder Saison are available as hand-bottled bombers at Bier:Thirty Bottle & Bistro, 3073 Bown Road, for $5.99. Distribution to other retailers is in the works.
Freeheeler is brewed with 20 percent rye malt, which Sawtooth Brewery says "separates this beer from the multitude of IPAs available."
The rye component is relatively subdued, but it helps round off the well-balanced IPA's nicely brief hop finish. Freeheeler is 6.4 percent alcohol by volume and comes in at 71 on the International Bitterness Units scale.
Sheepherder Saison (ABV 6, IBU 34) is a lighter, refreshing option. "Saison" is French for "season"; traditionally, farmers in Wallonia, a French-speaking area in southern Belgium, brewed this beer in the off-months for workers to drink during growing and harvest seasons.
Sawtooth describes its version as "dry" and "spicy." For local beer comparison purposes, Sheepherder Saison is somewhat similar to Payette Brewing Co.'s Leaning Barn Farmhouse Ale.
The 22-ounce bottles of Freeheeler and Sheepherder are available year-round.
Online: sawtoothbrewery.com.
In an effort to raise breast cancer awareness, six-packs of Sockeye Brewing's Dagger Falls IPA were sold in pink cans during October.
Sockeye, Stein Distributing, Bier:Thirty, Whole Foods Boise, Boise Co-op, Brewforia, Brewer's Haven and Albertsons all made donations for every case of the specially packaged beer that was sold.
The promotion raised $2,400, which was donated to St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute and Saint Alphonsus Cancer Care Center for treatment and care of local cancer victims.

As someone who believes in soaking the rich, I found this report from the Congressional Budget Office to be a bit of an eye-opener.
Higher-income groups pay a disproportionate share of federal taxes because they earn a disproportionate share of pretax income and because effective tax rates rise with income.
In 2006, the highest quintile earned 55.7 percent of pretax income and paid 69.3 percent of federal taxes, while the top 1 percent of households earned 18.8 percent of income and paid 28.3 percent of taxes.
In all other quintiles, the share of federal taxes was less than the income share. The bottom quintile earned 3.9 percent of income and paid 0.8 percent of taxes, while the middle quintile earned 13.2 percent of income and paid 9.1 percent of taxes.
The five-page report is a little dry, but has some other interesting facts and tables. It held my attention, anyway. Given that your federal tax returns are due next Wednesday, it might be worth a read.
Regardless, this is worth a look. Hit it, George (with a little help from his friend, EC).

Journal Scan: Apomorphine and 3% hydrogen peroxide—is one agent better for inducing emesis in dogs?
What they did
Information was gathered from the medical record database of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) between January 2008 and April 2009. Callers were instructed to induce emesis (if medically indicated) by using either apomorphine (0.03 mg/kg intravenously once, or a crushed tablet dissolved in saline solution, instilled in the conjunctival sac, and rinsed away with water or saline solution after emesis) or 3% hydrogen peroxide (2.2 ml/kg orally, 45 ml maximum, repeated once after 10 to 15 minutes if vomiting did not occur). Unless the dog had already eaten within the preceding two hours, feeding a small meal before the induction of emesis was also recommended to improve success.
What they found
Take-home message
The authors also remind us that owners may not consult with a veterinary professional before administering an emetic and may give an incorrect dose or repeatedly and excessively attempt to induce emesis, induce emesis in patients that have ingested an agent that has antiemetic effects, or induce emesis in patients that have ingested agents for which inducing emesis would be contraindicated (caustic agent, CNS stimulant, hydrocarbon or petroleum distillate).
However, when used appropriately and under veterinary supervision, both apomorphine and 3% hydrogen peroxide provide similar efficacy for the induction of emesis with comparable risk of adverse effects, which were described as typically mild and self-limiting.

Location: Pisak is an extremely idyllic small holiday resort on the Riviera Omis 15km from Omis and 18 km from Makarska. Pisak is ideally suited for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a typical Mediterranean fishing village. The water is crystal clear. You can go swimming, snorkelling, diving etc. here as and when you like. Pisak has a variety of mostly small and idyllic beaches bordered by dense maquis and pine woods. You can find natural bays with crystal clear sea, fine pebble beaches, rocky beaches, and some sandy sections as well.
Many beaches are accessible only through hiking trails or by boat and therefore sometimes even offer the possibility to have a small part of the beach all to your self. You can rent a boat on the small harbour in Pisak and take a trip with it to the bay of Vruja nearby.
There is a small supermarket in the village, a small fruit and vegetable stand, 1 Cafe and two small restaurants with typical Dalmatian cuisine.
Arrival: You will reach Pisak from northwest (Munich-Zagreb-Zadar-Split) when you come on the Dalmatian highway A1 in the direction of Dubrovnik. You will leave the highway about 40 km after the junction Split at the Sestanovac exit.
From here it is exactly 17 km further up to Pisak. Follow the signs and the road towards Makarska and Omis. Drive through the villages Zadvarje and Gornja Brela before the road on the land meets the coastal road (spectacular view of the sea and offshore islands). At the junction, take left to Makarska/Dubrovnik, right and then straight towards Omis/Split.
You now have to drive about 3.5 km towards Omis and after the bus stop (on the right hand side) leave the coastal road turning left and it is the only one street leading in to the place.
Our house Mediterranea (House number. 60) is the second visible house on the right hand side with two white garages.
You made it, we warmly welcome you!
Whitsun /Whitsun holiday/Whitsun offer 2012 with an extra discount
Pisak is a small fishing village right on the coast, just 40 km away from Split (international airport) and 18 km away from the cities Makarska and Omis. There is a small supermarket in the village, a small fruit and vegetable stand, 1 cafe and two small restaurants with typical Dalmatian cuisine.
You can find a clinic, pharmacy, post office, ATM and other shopping facilities in Omis 15 km away, or in Makarska 18 km away.
Thankfully near Omis and Makarska our guests can enjoy numerous active sports, visit several neighbouring tourist sites and get to know the cultural and historical heritage of this area. For those who seek fun, the bars and night clubs nearby Makarska and Omis guarantee a change.
Due to the mild climatic conditions, you can bathe in Pisak from May to October. Pisak is very attractive especially in pre-season and low season May, June, September, October, since it is not overcrowded.
Other Activities: Rafting on the river Cetina

Are the Westside Renegades better than the No. 6 team in the state?
"I think so. Yeah," Westside coach Nick Cook said. "I'm going to be honest with you. Yeah. The way we're playing right now I'm not sure there are five teams out there better than us."
While Cook was making his case in the locker room, his team made their case on the court, defeating AAA Shady Spring 88-59 on Tuesday night. It was their sixth straight victory and their fifth in the last seven days.
"I'm feeling good about this team right now," Cook said. "They're starting to feel good about themselves. There's a difference between arrogant and confident. I want them to be confident, not arrogant."
Westside held Shady Spring's all-time leading scorer Chase Connor to 25 points, allowing him only 3 points from beyond the arc.
"They're a very quality team. They played well," Shady Spring coach Steve Clark said. "Hats off to Westside."
The Renegades led the game from the very first tip, going on an 8-0 run behind a pair of Levi Lambert 3-pointers to help set the momentum for the game.
"I don't know, it was a weird game. A lot of runs," Cook said. "Our defense stepped up in the 2nd half and forced them out of the high scree and roll with Connor. We got the ball out in transition and got a lot of baskets."
Westside was led in scoring by the junior guard Corey Bowles who had 31 points. Justin Cogar had a 12 point, 18 rebound double-double.
"Corey Bowles is starting to show up on a lot of teams radar," Cook said. "It's something I've known for a long time. The reason he is, is because everyone is doing their job."
Westside is playing its best basketball of the season at the best possible time, coming back from an 6-5 record to win 9 over their last 10 games.
Chemistry is at an all-time high with this team," Cook said. "There's such balance. Any given night anyone can come out and get ya. Levi does his thing. Corey (Bowles) does his thing. Cogar does his thing. (Justin) Kenneda does his thing. Will Fox is getting better and better. My whole entire team is coming together."
Fox, who recently returned from injury, helped ignite the Renegades with 16 points off the bench.
The Renegades will wrap up their regular season next Monday when they welcome Liberty for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.
"We've got a week to prepare for them," Cook said. "I'm going to give them the day off tomorrow. They deserve it."
Shady Spring will play at Oak Hill on Thursday.

The Lutz Volunteer Fire Department as residents know it will soon to be a thing of the past.
The Hillsborough County Commission voted unanimously today, Nov. 15, to adopt a transition plan that changes the role of volunteer firefighters and eliminates their ability to man stations autonomously.
The plan creates a Reserve Responder Program that will utilize current and incoming volunteers. It also adds 78 new career firefighting positions to the county's roster. Those positions will be funded out of a $5.24 million budget request that was also approved today. The money will be "drawn down" from that multi-million-dollar pool as positions are filled.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Chief Ron Rogers presented the plan to the commission today and outlined the benefits of having career firefighters and volunteers work together.
"It's really a pretty significant change," Rogers said. "The volunteers were pretty much autonomous. We're trying to integrate the volunteers into that (fire rescue's) team."
Victor Crist was one of the only commissioners to ask questions about the plan, specifically the new reserve program. As a former volunteer firefighter himself, Crist raised concerns about the availability of volunteer positions for people who don't want careers in the field. He also questioned how volunteers would be integrated into the firefighting team.
"Our goal is for them to interact and be part of that crew," Rogers responded to Crist's question. "The reserves will be assigned to a career officer in that station. That officer would then evaluate that reserve just like he does the career members of his crew."
As for volunteers who simply want to lend a hand without using the reserve program to jumpstart a career, Rogers said they will be welcomed.
"We want anyone that wants to assist with what we do to be able to," Rogers said.
The plan goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2013. In addition to the Lutz Volunteer Fire Department, it also pertains to:
- Sundance
- Bloomingdale
- North Brandon
- Dover-Turkey Creek
- Cork-Knights
According to the county, the reserve program is meant to have these goals:
- Ensure greater accountability for volunteer personnel
- Improve safety through increased staffing on core units
- Build a pool of eligible candidates that will allow for rapid recruitment as part of succession planning
- Maintain a minimum of 120 Active Reservists
Existing nonprofit volunteer fire department organizations will be asked to serve in a supporting role under the plan. Much like the Friends of the Library or the Friends of the Parks, they will be asked to fundraise and provide support for stations throughout the county.

The most talked about item on Tuesday's City Council agenda was the City of Pryor Creek's Wireless WIFI project.
Outside of the meeting, Councilman Randy Chitwood explained the council would like the wireless Internet service to be city-wide, but it is not at this time.
"Right now the WIFI project is covering the main street area, in correlation with the main street revitalization project," said Chitwood.
The council's discussion began with the suggestion of purchasing materials totaling $101,012 from Techsico Enterprise Solution for the Wireless Mesh Access Promotional WIFI project. The city received no other bids. After discussion, the council approved this expenditure.
Council members discussed the $10,492 that the antennas would cost from the same company. Tramel explained that the money would be coming from the Real Property and Acquisition fund and would be repaid by a grant. The council approved.
Discussion arose over the proposed approval of JTAC support for three years, which would total $12,933, and the purchase of one 50-meg Bandwidth via Ethernet sources that would cost $2,180 per month for three years.
"Are we paying up front for all three years?" said Councilman Greg Rosamond.
Tramel answered no, that it was $12,933 per year. In an effort to clarify, Councilman Travis Noland asked a similar question.
"We aren't paying this immediately, not until we receive the grant. And the grant covers all three years," said Noland.
"No, we renew each year. The $19,933 is the cost of a three-year contract," said Tramel.
"The city cannot extend itself more than a year at a time, so we cannot commit to a three year contract. The contract has been amended to include a cancellation and renewal clause," said city attorney Kim Ritchie.
Councilman Chitwood explained that it is a three year service agreement but because of city stipulations a clause had to be added giving the city the chance to renew or cancel annually.
Questions arose in regard to what the next city council would do, and what the cost of canceling would be.
"If the next council doesn't renew, which I don't know why they wouldn't, then we are out the remainder of the money."
Chitwood said the grant came from Google, and that the city will receive a $6,000 deduction if they order by the first of the year.
The council will purchase the necessary equipment in hopes that the project will be underway in February 2013.

MSP 2-Stage Pump
January 15, 2004
Energy-saving medium-speed pump (MSP) for pumping fluids for high-pressure applications was released in October 2003. The pump complements a single-stage model and is targeted to the petrochemical market, as well as small industrial boiler feed service. Directly coupled to an AC motor, the pump is driven by a variable frequency drive (VFD). Operating at speeds up to 8,000 rpm, the MSP develops a differential head of 600 meters as single-stage and 900 meters as two-stage version. The MSP-2 features an opposed impeller design which limits hydraulic forces so standard grease lubricated bearings for the motor can be used.

Supernatural Episode 815
"Man's Best Friend With Benefits"
Written By: Brad Buckner & Eugenie Ross-Leming
Directed By: John Showalter
Original Airdate: 20 February 2013
In This Episode...
Sam and Dean get a text from a cop named James Frampton - they worked a case with him in the past. While they wait for him to arrive, Dean goes on a beer run and Sam finds a sweet doberman pinscher at their door. He lets her in, but meets Dean outside to warn him about "her." When they finally go into the motel room, the dobie has turned into a beautiful woman.
The woman is Portia, a familiar. James's familiar. After working the case with the Winchesters, James got really involved in witchcraft. A familiar is like a bonded partner. They can communicate telepathically, but lately James has been blocking her out. He has been having nightmares where he kills people, but then the people actually turn up dead. He has no recollection of actually committing these crimes, but he does find one of his monogramed shirts, bloodied, in his garbage. It was Portia who texted the Winchesters; she feels they are the only ones who can help him.
James accepts the help, reluctantly. The Winchesters are just as reluctant to help a witch, but Portia assures them that James only uses his powers for good, mostly to solve homicide cases. Even still, Dean arms himself with a witch banishment bomb. Sam visits the police station, where Ed, the lead detective for the murders, claims there is no evidence and they are ready to push it to the back burner. Dean goes with Portia to a witch lounge and meets a few witches. He suspects that a witch is controlling James with a hex, but no one has ever heard of such a thing.
For the time being, they keep James in shackles. He is okay with that - he wants to solve this as much as anyone. One thing that Portia didn't tell the Winchesters is that she and James are romantically involved - a no-no in the witch/familiar community. While they were having sex, James let his guard down enough for Portia to see into his brain. She sees him committing the actual murders, but no thoughts before or after, which suggests the thoughts were planted.
On a follow-up visit to the police station, Sam notices that Ed and the lab tech have a thick police folder on James, and that they seem to be secretive about what goes on in a locked office in the station. The boys agree to let James astral project himself into the room, as long as they can go with. They discover that the entire room is dedicated to pinning these murders on James. And they finally have a name to pin this all on: Phillippe. Phillippe is the familiar to Spencer, who is James's friend. Dean confronts him, and Phillippe begs for mercy. His witch, Spencer, forced him to frame James. He didn't have a choice. Spencer shows up to take responsibility. He was jealous that Portia chose James over himself, but made peace with it - until he found out that James and Portia were sleeping together. He couldn't handle that, and framed James for the murders to get him out of the picture. Spencer is powerful, and keeps James, Dean, and Sam at bay with magic. Portia - in dog form - rushes in with the surprise attack. Spencer is distracted long enough for Dean to throw the witch bomb, which causes Spencer to explode in a cloud of blood-red smoke.
Dig It or Bury It?
I was more entranced by the sweet doberman dog than anything else. The rest of the episode was fine. Not great, not bad. Just fine.
Spooky Humor
Sam and Dean are debating the merits of the Three Stooges. More specifically, Sam is trying to defend his position that Shemp is a superior Stooge to Curly. Sam feels that Curly's humor was "too obvious." "They're Stooges - it's supposed to be obvious!" insists Dean.
Sibling Rivalry
Dean's concern for Sam handling the three trials is finally addressed. Sam thinks it is not because Dean doesn't trust him, but because he only trusts himself. But while Spencer was messing with his noggin, he realized that with all the shit the Winchesters had been through, the only reason they made it through was because they had each other. Dean trusts Sam, and insists that if Sam says he's good, Dean is behind him 100%. Of course, then Sam starts coughing up blood, but hides it from his brother.
The Greek gods are getting off their duffs and are bringing havoc to Earth.

Clay County High Schools composite ACT scores for last year's junior class increased slightly over the previous year, according to numbers released last week from the Kentucky Department of Education.
The Clay County School Board has been discussing some ideas, that if they happen, could mean major changes within the schools.
Review Cites Unprofessional, Uncooperative Behavior by Former Public Health Director
State Auditor Adam Edelen today released a review of the Cumberland Valley District Health Department (CVDHD) that found internal controls, management and board oversight are lacking.
A doctor in another part of Kentucky wrote prescriptions for 41,165 pills to 197 Clay Countians during May, June and July of this year, according to Clay County Sheriff Kevin Johnson.
A review of the last five audits of the Cumberland Valley District Health Department shows that in Fiscal Year 2010-2011 the district was hit with an expenditure of $1,441,860, for which it had only budgeted $392,931.

Thread: A kindly lawyer....
A kindly lawyer....
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.
Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind, thank you for taking all of us with you.
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place."
"The grass is almost a foot high."
Come on now...you really didn't think there was such a thing as a heartwarming lawyer story...did you???
A common mistake made when trying to come up with a totally foolproof design is to completely underestimate the innate ingenuity of fools.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you but it's still there on my list of options, so are you coming quietly.........?
Now THAT'S funny! (I may have to change the lawyer into a democrat when I tell it, though.)For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill

Jumpstart places highly motivated college students in preschool classrooms in low-income communities to help children build language, literacy and social skills. With a focus on school success, family involvement, and future teachers, Jumpstart works to create an environment of lifelong learning for children.
What is Jumpstart?
Jumpstart is a national early education organization that recruits and trains college students to serve preschool children in low-income neighborhoods around the Boston area. Our proven curriculum helps preschool children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for kindergarten, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.
Children that come from low-income neighborhoods start kindergarten 60% behind their more affluent peers, setting them up early on for failure. When children fall behind in kindergarten, they are more likely to stay behind for the rest of their lives. In order to address this issue, Jumpstart is working toward the day when every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.
Who does Jumpstart hire?
Jumpstart at Suffolk University recruits caring and passionate students, called Corps Members, who commit to performing 300 hours of service during the school year. During their term of service, students receive over 60 hours of professional training on topics related to early childhood education and citizenship.
What are the benefits of joining Jumpstart?
Not only would you impact the children, families, and communities around Boston by participating in Jumpstart, but also you may be eligible to earn other benefits. As a Jumpstart Corps Member, you will have the opportunity to:
- Earn you work study award (if you have one)
- Earn a Segal Education Award (scholarship) from AmeriCorps, to pay for your tuition, student loans, and other educational expenses
- Satisfy the practicum requirement to earn your professional preschool licensure from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care
- Build and strengthen your leadership, team work, and time management skills
Where do Jumpstart Corps Members serve?
Corps Members spend the majority of their time in a classroom implementing the Jumpstart curriculum. Students also have the opportunity to spend time in a preschool classroom outside of their assigned session, called Classroom Assistance Time (CAT).
During CAT, Corps Members gain exposure to professional teachers' strategies in classroom management and facilitating children's learning, and assist the teachers and children in activities that promote language and literacy.
Corps Members also have an impact in the community by volunteering at various service projects throughout the year.
When do Jumpstart sessions occur?
Jumpstart at Suffolk University recruits over 75 Corps Members that are placed on 10 different teams that serve 170 children around the Boston area. The 2013-2014 Jumpstart sessions occur on:
- Monday/Wednesday: 10:00AM-1:00PM
- Monday/Wednesday: 2:30PM-5:30PM
- Tuesday/Thursday: 3:00PM-6:00PM
What is the Jumpstart at Suffolk University contact information?
Jumpstart at Suffolk University is located in the S.O.U.L.S. Center for Community Engagement office in the Donahue Building.
S.O.U.L.S. Center for Community Engagement

If you're a retailer taking a wait-and-see attitude about m-commerce, what are you waiting for?
If Venda Inc. and Yahoo Inc. make good on their predictions of this week and last, the m-commerce universe will explode in the second half of 2010.
The big news in mobile commerce in the last week is partnering: E-commerce powerhouse Venda and m-commerce pioneer Digby will now offer Venda's hundreds of clients an m-commerce platform, and Venda CEO Jeff Max told Internet Retailer he expects to have nearly 200 m-commerce sites up and running by year's end. Then I broke the news that search giant Yahoo and m-commerce player Unbound Commerce have partnered to offer Yahoo's 45,000 Yahoo Stores e-commerce platform clients an m-commerce platform. Yahoo's lead e-commerce executive, Paul Boisvert, predicts 250 m-commerce sites come December.
Today, according to Internet Retailer's m-commerce research, 156 retailers operate 149 m-commerce sites and 71 mobile apps. If the predictions come true, the total number of retailers in mobile commerce would increase by 288% in only six months. And that's not counting all the other retailers with sites and apps in the pipeline at other m-commerce technology providers.
If you're a retailer sitting on the sidelines with a wait-and-see attitude, my question to you is, what are you waiting for? The first retailers to stake a claim in m-commerce will immediately have an advantage over their competitors. The first will be the ones to learn what works best, to claim all of the mobile consumers looking for the optimized sites and apps on which to shop, and to reap sales in the fourth channel.
Two examples speak for themselves. EBay Inc. did $600 million in sales in its mobile channel in 2009. And at The Finish Line Inc., 3% of its total web revenue is now coming from its mobile channel. In 2009, the retailer earned $80.2 million in web sales, according to Internet Retailer estimates. Say it made the same in 2010, and its m-commerce sales maintained at 3%. That would add up to $2.4 million in mobile sales.
If you don't at least have a mobile strategy in place, you're behind the times. This is not a fad, it's a reflection of where society is moving, which is to mobile.
If you need help planning or optimizing, consider attending our inaugural Mobile Commerce Forum in October. There will be speakers galore with plenty of wisdom to share, and m-commerce technology providers for you to examine. It's perfect timing as m-commerce continues its rapid growth and evolution.
I've got two words for you: It's time.

Fresh brewed suds will soon make an appearance in downtown Brighton after city council approved the site plan for the , which will take over the site known by residents as the "Pink Hotel" at 500 W. Main Street.
The brewery will offer a variety of microbrews, including a brew from the American colonial area, as well as a drink that dates back to the days of the Vikings. Only a small selection of snacks will be available, keeping the focus on the beer.
Current owner of the building, John Becker, and his son, Matt Becker, who will act as head brewer, both say that maintaining the historical integrity of the Pink Hotel is key in their operation.
John Becker says he will spend about $1 million in buying and improving the 6000-square foot building. He says he plans to gut much of the interior to make room for brewing equipment.
There are plans for a European-style beer garden that will be located between the building and the railroad tracks.
The Pink Hotel, as it's still referred to, was constructed as a hotel in the late 1800's and was originally named the Western House Hotel. The brewery was then named as an echo of the long-gone hotel, and was chosen in an effort to help preserve a piece of the history of downtown Brighton, the Beckers say.
The Beckers hope to open the brewery by April 2012.

A wall drawing that covers 2,200 square feet is the newest work on display at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
The work -- which took 16 artists at the task seven hours a day nearly two months to complete -- was designed by Sol LeWitt, an American artist considered to have been a pioneer in Minimalism and Conceptual art.
Here's a story by Staff Reporter Mark Sommer written in August when work on the drawing was still underway.
Gallery officials held a special media preview of the work this afternoon.

Dean: Jane Korn
Gonzaga University School of Law was established in l9l2 by the Trustees of Gonzaga University with the active support of many prominent members of the bench and bar in Washington State. The School of Law has produced many exceptional lawyers. It is fully accredited by the American Bar Association, which entitles Gonzaga School of Law graduates to take the bar exam in any state. The School of Law is also a member of the Association of American Law Schools.
Objectives of Gonzaga University School of Law
Gonzaga School of Law belongs to a long and distinguished tradition of humanistic, Jesuit education. The school is committed to preserving that tradition and communicating it to the students. Accordingly, the School of Law seeks to challenge its students to incorporate knowledge of the past with the innovations of the present in order to better serve society. The education and development of the whole person is emphasized and an effort made to instill in the students a strong commitment to social justice and to encourage them to assume personal responsibility for and take individual initiative in the betterment of society.
The school recognizes its responsibility not only to the students, but also to the public and to the legal profession. As a result, the School of Law endeavors to graduate attorneys who, as capable problem-solvers, will be able to translate their thoughts into effective, productive action on behalf of their clients. Toward this end, an emphasis is placed on providing students with personal, individual attention.
One of the school's greatest strengths is the dedication and commitment of the faculty and staff. Gonzaga takes pride in providing students with a quality legal education which includes practical, hands-on experience that will ease their transition from the academic world to the world of legal practice.
Full-Time Programs
The School of Law offers a full-time, three-year, 90 semester credit degree. In some circumstances, students can take advantage of flexible scheduling to complete their degrees in four or five years.
Of the 90 units necessary for graduation, 49 are required; the remaining units may be selected from electives and seminars. All degree credits must be completed within five years of matriculation.
Gonzaga's legal education program is deliberate. The rigorous, well-rounded curriculum focuses on legal analysis, problem-solving, values, and ethics. Equally important is the emphasis on practical experience, enabling students to develop real-world lawyering skills. The unique first-year program at Gonzaga exposes students to simulated skills training in litigation and transactional work in the fall and spring semesters, respectively, evidencing Gonzaga's commitment to these goals. As a further component to this innovative approach to legal education, the School of Law offers upper-division electives in many different areas of the law, including: trial and appellate advocacy, environment/natural resource law, business and commercial law and international law. To complete their education all students are required to engage in experiential learning, either through working in a professional externship or in Gonzaga's legal clinic, during their second or third year of studies.
University Legal Assistance
Gonzaga School of Law operates the University Legal Assistance program as an on-campus clinic that provides legal services to low-income persons. It is a major provider of pro bono legal services in the Spokane area. The clinic offers its students the opportunity to practice law, under appropriate lawyer supervision, while still in school. Rule 9 of the Washington State Bar Association allows students who have completed two years of course work (60 semester credits) to practice law under the supervision of a licensed attorney. On-campus clinical offerings include a general practice clinic and specific subject area clinics in consumer law, business law, elder law, Indian law, and tax law.
Off-campus professional externship experience is available in legal settings such as criminal prosecution and defense, child dependency, juvenile law, and legal services work.
Dual Degree Programs
The School of Law and the Graduate School of Business offer dual-degree programs leading to the Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration (JD/MBA), and the Juris Doctor/Master of Accountancy (JD/MAcc). These programs train attorneys with a business background to provide skilled leadership in the sophisticated and challenging world of modern business transactions. Application must be made to the Graduate School of Business as well as to the School of Law.
There is also a JD/MSW dual-degree program which is designed to prepare law and social work professionals to practice either profession competently, and to enable them to use this unique amalgamation of skills in new and enriched ways. This four-year program (three years for students with "Advanced Standing" in Social Work) will lead successful students to a J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law, and a Master's in Social Work from Eastern Washington University. Graduates of the JD/MSW dual-degree program will be skilled professionals who can make significant contributions in areas such as public benefits, mental health services, children's services, services for people with disabilities, education, elder law and services, and public health. The program meets all applicable American Bar Association and Council on Social Work Education accreditation guidelines. Admission to the JD/MSW program is highly selective, and is currently limited to a maximum of four students per year. Students must apply and be admitted to both Gonzaga University School of Law and the Eastern Washington University School of Social Work, and must meet each school's established admissions criteria. This includes qualifying scores on standardized tests, such as the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). A candidate's application must be approved by both institutions before the candidate is considered for admission to this dual-degree program.
Co-Curricular Activities
Gonzaga's educational philosophy is based on the centuries-old Ignatian model of educating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Students, therefore, find it easy to become involved in a broad range of activities at the School of Law. Gonzaga is a major player in national moot court competitions and fields a variety of moot court teams. Students also have an opportunity to participate in the Linden Cup, Gonzaga's prestigious intra-school moot court competition, a client counseling competition, and a negotiation competition. The student-run Gonzaga Law Review is circulated throughout the country, and the Gonzaga Journal of International Law, the online international law journal, receives submissions from around the world. The Student Bar Association is a strong, active organization that encourages student involvement, and there are abundant opportunities to participate in student organizations, legal fraternities, public service projects, and other activities. Gonzaga's student organizations are diverse in nature and, whatever the interests or career goals, there are activities available that will enhance the knowledge and abilities, while contributing to the community.
Physical Facilities and Library
Rising from the banks of the beautiful Spokane River, the Gonzaga Law Center, which opened in May 2000, provides a stunning setting for research and learning. The Law Center offers a variety of classroom and library environments to support interactive teaching and learning methods. Features throughout the building encourage students to linger to talk and debate ideas in beautiful outdoor spaces, roof plazas and balconies, and comfortable lounges. Technology is readily available and a wireless network provide the "highway" for audio-visual, computer, and telecommunications technology. The mix of classrooms, study, seminar rooms, and clinical spaces provide flexibility to integrate the best of traditional law teaching and collaborative and innovative learning. Gonzaga's fine traditions of advocacy training and moot court competitions are promoted in the impressive Barbieri Courtroom.The law library is a warm and inviting environment filled with natural light designed to be conducive to individual and group study. The library's rich collection of print and electronic resources supports the research and scholarly needs of students and faculty.
The School of Law endeavors to attract students with ambitious minds, professional motivation, and commitment to the highest ethics and values of the legal profession. A faculty committee reviews all applications, and does not restrict their consideration to impersonal statistics. An applicant's unique qualities, such as work and life experiences, personal accomplishments, and the opinions of others as reflected in letters of recommendation, will also be considered.
The School of Law seeks to enroll a diverse student body to ensure that the school and the legal profession are enriched through the participation of people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Those individuals who want the admission review committee to consider diversity factors in their application process should provide information about their experiences and background in their applications.
Students who are in good standing at another ABA law school may apply for admission to the School of Law with advanced standing.

UNC sports fans might as well brace themselves for unceasing taunting and teasing from fans of other ACC schools gloating over the fall from grace of one of the most respected institutions of higher learning in the USA.
Those chiding fans might be smart to moderate their smirks.
A recent CNN study reported that 18 percent of all college football and basketball players can't read above elementary school level. So let those whose alma maters have not cheated on student-athlete admissions loft the first air ball.
Baby sitters or athletes?
Basketball coach Roy Williams' reaction to allegations leveled against his program was a bit puzzling indeed.
"Every one of the kids that we've recruited in 10 years you'd take home with you and let (them) guard your grandchildren. And I'm really proud of my kids," he said.
Coach, that's good to know. But those "kids" are not there to serve as trusted baby sitters for somebody's grandchildren. They're supposed to be legitimate student-athletes in pursuit of an education.
I felt myself feeling sorry Ol' Roy until I remembered that he's raking in almost $2 million a year. Instead, I transferred my compassion to all college athletes who are being shortchanged and misused by lucrative, out-of-control sports programs.
Ah, there's the shame.
My 11-year-old grandson has been going to Carolina in his mind since he was 6. Reminding him of the tough odds an out-of-state resident faces in being admitted, I've advised him repeatedly to hit the books!
So what am I to do now? Tell him, "Never mind the math and science, just work on your jump shot?"
Early risers
I've been informed that I don't know as much about squirrel behavior as I thought I did.
"Sorry, A.C.," a friend wrote. "You're catching the second feeding of your squirrels. They are up around 5:30, leaving their mess on your driveway, digging up your lawn, looking for acorns and up to other mischief.
"After they chow down, they sleep for two or three more hours and then visit your feeder again about the time you are having coffee."
Dog love
Your responses to last week's observation that dogs own the lion's share of animal affection were varied.
A Wake Forest resident reported that she baby-sits her neighbors' beloved beagle when they are out of town.
"They pay me extra to let Buckets sleep with me," she said, explaining that the dog is so named because she oozes buckets of affection.
Even Poet Rudyard Kipling, (1865-1936) remarked on the obsessive love we lavish on canines:
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone – wherever it goes – for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
Lard is back
Yep, after years of warnings that eating food cooked in lard clogs our arteries and jeopardizes our health, some medical authorities say food cooked with hog lard may be good for you.
The mere mention of lard reminds me of a memorable moment when I was a back-bench lad at Salem Baptist Church in Surry County.
One Sabbath morning when choir was in full chorus, two ladies were enjoying a gab fest. When the choir suddenly ceased, one of the women's' voice rang out, "Well, I fry mine in lard!"
Even the preacher couldn't control his laughter as he strolled to the lectern.
So, go to it, folks. Fry yours in lard.
I read somewhere that winter is the time when politicians talk about the homeless.
How true. Nevertheless, everybody has been talking about those recent "two-blanket" nights when we Southerners thanked God we don't live in Minneapolis or Syracuse.
It's said that God gave us memory so we could have roses in winter.
I'll be happy to forgo the roses if the Almighty will spare us another winter like this one.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
James Gleick has long been fascinated by the making of science -- how ideas order visible appearances, how equations can give meaning to molecular and stellar phenomena, how theories can transform what we see. In Chaos, he chronicled the emergence of a new way of looking at dynamic systems; in Genius, he portrayed the wondrous dimensions of Richard Feymnan's mind. Now, in Isaac Newton, he gives us the story of the scientist who, above all others, embodied humanity's quest to unveil the hidden forces that constitute the physical world.
In this original, sweeping, and intimate biography, Gleick moves between a comprehensive historical portrait and a dramatic focus on Newton's significant letters and unpublished notebooks to illuminate the real importance of his work in physics, in optics, and in calculus. He makes us see the old intuitive, alchemical universe out of which Newton's mathematics first arose and shows us how Newton's ideas have altered all forms of understanding from history to philosophy. And he gives us a moving account of the conflicting impulses that pulled at this man's heart: his quiet longings, his rage, his secrecy, the extraordinary subtleties of a personality that were mirrored in the invisible forces he first identified as the building blocks of science. More than biography, more than history, more than science, Isaac Newton tells us how, through the mind of one man, we have come to know our place in the cosmos.
