Moving Wall to vets is looking for volunteeers
By Denise Crosby firstname.lastname@example.com October 18, 2013 10:19AM
Art Kruckenberg and his 10-year-old son, Adam, from Harvard, Ill., search the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall for the name of a friend Kruckenberg lost while serving in the Vietnam War while the Wall was in Aurora. | FILE PHOTO
When Ken Leask got out of the Navy back in 1954, he never had to buy drinks in bars or worry about hitching rides. Everyone, he remembers, was eager to support those who had served their country.
He also recalls how, a decade later, Vietnam veterans were treated so differently after returning from war.
"They were spit on … treated like garbage," said the retired Aurora University professor. "Watching that really bothered me."
That's a big reason Leask signed on to be a volunteer for the Vietnam Moving Wall when it comes to Aurora Nov. 7 through 11 at West Aurora High School. He and wife Ingrid will help visitors locate names on The Wall of those who were killed.
"Those Vietnam vets," Leask said, "need healing. This (memorial) gives them the recognition and appreciation they deserve."
Steve Matesi could not agree more. The Vietnam War had begun to wind down when he registered for the draft at age 17, so he was never called. But the Sandwich man, now 57, knew those who served, including a good friend who was part of the evacuation of Saigon.
"It was a different war for America," he said of that turbulent time. "We learned a lot since then."
Matesi signed up to read a portion of the 58,282 names of those who died during that unpopular war, and also to help locate those names on The Wall. He's doing so not only to honor Vietnam veterans, but all who served in the military, including his son who is in the Marines.
"There's no better way," he says, "to make use of our time."
Volunteer Chris Hall, a 34-year-old home health care associate from Montgomery, is at least a generation removed from these two men, but his sense of duty is as intense.
Hall, who belongs to an international heavy metal club with a patriotic bent, said a Navy physical that determined he had asthma kept him from serving. But he comes from a strong military family, including his father, who was in the Air Force for 12 years and was shot down several times while dropping air supplies in Vietnam.
Hall says he was part of the opening ceremonies as a Cub Scout back in 1989, when the Vietnam memorial first came to the Fox Valley. His name shows up more than anyone's so far on the volunteer list.
"And if I could," he tells me, "I'd pitch a tent and help out the entire time. That's how much it means to me."
Hall sees helping out as "one of the best ways we can come together as a community."
It's a sentiment shared by fellow volunteer Phyllis Wells, a 73-year-old Aurora woman who also comes from a military background that includes her 85-year-old husband, who served in World War II. She is his full-time caregiver now, but still finds time to take part in 5k runs, and plans to give as many hours as possible to the memorial when it comes to Aurora in a couple weeks.
"It's the very least we can do to help out," she says, giving a nod to the committee that has worked hundreds of hours to make this tribute such a memorable and sacred experience.
Leask, Matesi, Hall and Wells are just a handful of residents who have already signed up to be readers, to help with grounds or first aid or to help visitors locate names on The Wall. But so many more are needed. And time is running short.
So how can you get involved?
Another sign-up day is scheduled for this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Room 104 of the Prisco Community Center, 150 W. Illinois Ave. in Aurora. And here's an important point to consider: All it takes is a few minutes to put your name on the list and find out what you need to do. The average amount of time, says committee member and the city's Assistant Chief of Staff Chuck Nelson, is a mere 10 minutes. Leask confirmed he and his wife were in and out of the center in less than a half hour when they signed up in September.
Like all volunteer efforts, helping out will give back more than you are giving. If you plan to see this spectacular memorial anyway, why not schedule a volunteer hour along with that visit? For more information, go to www.vietnammovingwallaurora.org.
Phyllis Wells not only plans to help out over the four-day event, she's trying to convince those in her circle to join that effort, including her McDonald's coffee group and her handyman.
"If you are healthy and able to do it," she insists, "then you need to do it."

November 25, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is visiting Las Vegas to tour one of the top-rated public schools in the state and talk with Nevada leaders about the growth of digital learning.
The Republican is set to visit Advanced Technologies Academy on Thursday, then meet with panelists including Clark County Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky, state lawmakers and a student.
The school, also known as A-Tech, was recognized by U.S. News and World Report as the No. 1 public high school in Nevada and 304th in the nation. It has 68 percent minority student enrollment.
Bush started the Foundation for Excellence in Education, which recently issued its annual Digital Learning Report Card. Nevada ranked 4th in the nation and most improved for policies that encourage technology in education.

Where can you get the best in NYC?
re: princeofpork
i agree...i love crabcakes, but in NYC they are almost always a disappointing waste of money: lots of filler and often a (trage)comically small portion...i was appalled a couple months ago when i ordered a 12 dollar crabcake appetizer and got a single silver dollar-sized crabcake that wasn't even made w/ backfin meat (just stringy claw meat w/ lots of bread and lots of salt - yuck)...for contrast, i just got back from a trip to Virginia where a huge seafood platter included a huge succulent backfin crabcake (in addition to a small mountain of oysters, scallops, a fish filet, and clams, plus two sides -- for 24 dollars)...
but, i'm game to try the P.J.Clarke's one that Mickey mentions below...
I've had MANY crab cakes in my life, from places through out the city, and the one that I would say is the BEST in the city is the one at PJ Clarkes ( http://www.pjclarkes.com/) .
It has almost NO filler what so ever! And there big too :-)
Shelly's. The only place in Manhattan where I found a good one.
On LI:
Star Bogs - Westhampton
Bayview Inn - Jamesport
re: bfgross
I hate to admit it but I have to agree. Went there with my visiting parents last summer and we tried the crab cakes. Very meaty, good flavor and not much filler. Who would have thunk it! My parents are coming back to NYC for Easter and my dad's request is to go back to the Boathouse for crabcakes. Hope they are still as good as last summers.
My personal fave crab cake is le gigot. No filler, very little "sauce", oodles of delicious crab. I've been known to double up and have one as an appetizer and two as my entree. Good times.
Agree with P.J. Clarkes and sort of Del Frisco's. My absolute fave is Tabla's though. Like the other good crabcakes, very little filler and very interestingly spiced, but not so much that the crabby nuances can't come through.
The crab cake question seems to be a recurring theme. So for the benefit of those who use the search function, I'll also put my vote in for Le Gigot.. I grew up on crab on the Georgia Coast, and I can without hesitation say that le Gigot is beyond any crabcake I have ever seen. ZERO filler-just crab, some red onion, seasoning, bound together with mayonnaise, browned on each side in vegetable oil and finished in the oven. (it was so good I asked for the recipe, they even told me the seasoning, but I don't want to give it all away)
A few days ago I stepped into Westville in the East Village for lunch. I had earlier passed by it several times. I live only a few blocks away. It was always packed to the gills with beautiful people in snug clothing. When I went to Westville for lunch on a weekday it was sparsely populated. I had the crabcake burger. I loved it. I hadn't had a million crabcakes or even a hundred before, but this one was the best that far. Sweet and savory. The crust rightly charred. Now I am not sure if it was all crab meat or crab meat adulterated with bread crumbs. Is there someone else here who has been to Westville and had the crabcake? If so, do you agree with me about the relative superiority of the crabcake there? Am I a consummate or at least a potential crabcake connosieur?
re: trashytravel
Just had the best crab cake I ever had at the Central Park Boathouse. Pure lump crab, amazing
Central Park Boathouse
Central Park East Drive E 72nd St, New York, NY 10021
re: princeofpork
wow...i'll add it to my list...
Much to my surprise, the ones at The Palm are really good, big chunks of crab and a mango salsa on the side.
There are some marginally acceptable crabcakes to be found in NYC if you need a fix, and I suppose the CP boathouse ones would qualify, maybe a couple of the steakhouses (Del Friscos are ok), and the adulterated ones at Tabla, etc (I don't think things like mango salsa or goan spices really belong with a true crabcake). But all these tend to come up a bit shy of perfection in one way or another. So a few years ago I started ordering delivery from crabcakeexpress.com. You get them the next day, throw them in a pan, and in 5 minutes you have true perfection.

I've had my Trek S with the battery pack for about a week now. I love not being tethered to a electric plug. The Trek S is easy to use, lightweight and quiet. I'm about to take it on a trip and am excited that it won't take up much space in my luggage. The nebulizer delivers a great stream easily more powerful than the large compressor that I was using before.
My mother and I are thrilled with our new Trek S. Because we travel, we selected it primarily for its remarkably small size (especially for a compressor nebulizer; Mother's prescriptions are incompatible with ultrasonic nebulizers). But even for home use, it's a huge improvement over the traditional big nebulizer it replaced. Much, much quieter. Much simpler for Mother to use. Plus, she finishes her treatments in about half the time! What's not to love? No problems in the first week. It appears to be solidly built, so I am hoping for good reliability and long product life. An excellent value for us. Received promptly from Vitality.
After juggling regular nebulizers for years and going through power inverters in the car we purchased the PARI Trek S Portable. We LOVE it. It is so small and quiet but works just as well as the larger nebulizers! We are thinking about getting another one to use in the house because the noise level is so much better than the others we have.
Portable, light, and powerkul. Well made.
I bet it is nice but hard to tell as processing and shipping take so long

Virbac H1 sales hurt by Iverhart recall in U.S.
Sales of products for the production animal category in emerging markets were up significantly for French drugmaker Virbac in the first half. It was helped in South America by the integration of Uruguay-based Santa Elena, which it bought last year, but it was not enough to overcome difficult foreign exchange rates and weak sales in the U.S. after having to recall 34 lots of its Iverhart Plus chewable heartworm medicine last year.

We divide the team into two teams, one on each sideline. See diagram A. We start by giving the ball to one team (blue), which starts with two players just inside half-court and one opposing defender (yellow) in the paint. The offensive players will pass back and forth quickly until they reach the 3-point arc and then the player with the ball will attack the defender, with his teammate coming at a 45 degree angle on the opposite side.
The offense must read the defender and either attack for a lay-up or the foul, or if the defender comes up, pass to the teammate cutting to the hoop. We have a second defender start on the sideline. Once the ball is beyond half-court he/she sprints out, touches the middle of the court, and sprints back to help the lone defender. The offense must attack quickly before that defender evens the odds at 2-on-2. The lone defender must try to delay or stop the offense.
If the offense scores or gets fouled, they get one point. After a made basket, or if the offense turns the ball over, or misses the shot and the defenders get the rebound, the defenders are now on offense (diagram B) and speed-dribble and pass back and forth up the floor and attack the defender on the opposite end. And so it goes, back and forth up the court, non-stop. Each team keeps track of their score. We usually play to 10 or 12 (depending on how much time we have)... losers run.
After the two offensive players (blue) either score or lose the ball, they both go off to the back of their team's line on the sideline (diagram C). While play is going on at the opposite end, the last player in yellow's line will go back and get ready to become the next solo defender. The first person in the yellow line will be the trailing defender sprinting out from half-court.

hence we also report damages per kWh of electricity produced.27 Table 2-9 and Figures 2-7 and 2-8 show damages per kWh for all four pollutants. Mean damages per kWh (2007 USD) from four criteria-pollutant-forming emissions are 4.4 cents per kWh if all plants are weighted equally and 3.2 cents per kWh if plants are weighted by the electricity they generate. The lower figure reflects the fact that larger plants are often less damaging per kWh.28 What is equally important as mean damages is the distribution of damages across plants. As Table 2-9 indicates the 95th percentile of the distribution—damages of 12 cents per kWh—is more than an order of magnitude larger than the 5th percentile. The distribution of damages per kWh (Figure 2-7) is very skewed: There are many coal-fired power plants with low damages per kWh as well as a small number of plants with high damages. Using generation-weighted figures, the damages per kWh from the least damaging 5% of plants were very small: 94% lower than the average coal-fired plant and almost as low as the average damage per kWh at natural gas power plants (0.16 cents). Figure 2-8 maps damages per kWh for each power plant. As in the case of aggregate damages, the plants with lowest damages per kWh are in the West. Plants with the largest damages per kWh are concentrated in the Northeast and the Midwest.
What explains variation in damages per kWh across plants? Damages per kWh associated with a criteria air pollutant (for example, SO2) are the product of emissions per kWh and the damage per ton of pollutant emitted. For the 406 plants examined, variation in damages per kWh is primarily due to variation in pollution intensity (emissions per kWh) across plants, rather than variation in damages per ton of pollutant, which varies with plant location. In the case of SO2, emissions per kWh reflect the sulfur content of the coal burned, adoption of control technologies (for example, scrubbers), as well as the vintage of the plant. Pounds of SO2 emitted per MWh (see Tables 2-10 and 2-11) vary greatly across plants, and this variation explains approximately 83% of the variation in damages attributed to SO2 emissions per kWh. As Table 2-11 indicates, pounds of SO2 and NOx emitted per MWh vary significantly with plant vintage, reflecting the fact that newer plants are subject to more stringent pollution controls. Variation in damages per ton of SO2 emitted (see Table 2-8) accounts for only
It is, however, the case that less than half of the variation in damages is explained by variation in the amount of electricity generated. A regression of damages on net generation yields an R2 = 0.32; the R2 is 0.48 when the logarithms of the variables are used.
The correlation coefficient between damages per kWh and net generation is = −0.26, significant at <0.01 level of significance.

WaterField Designs Muzetto Outback and SleeveCase for Microsoft Surface Pro (review)
Summary: For the last couple of weeks, I have been using the Muzetto Outback vertical messenger bag to carry a much lighter load during my daily commute and am loving the experience.
12 of 17Image
Shoulder strap on and ready to go
I have the carrying strap fit to go across my body with the main bag resting against my back. It was refreshing just carrying the essentials and I am liking this approach. I can't say enough about the quality of construction, feel of the bag, and functionality of this solution.
One classy, stylish bag
This is a MUCH lighter load than the heavy backpack I have been carrying around.
Ultimate SleeveCase for Microsoft Surface
I have used various SleeveCases in the past with ebook readers and laptops. Those all had the lead indium bottom trim, and this time Waterfield Designs sent along a MS Surface SleeveCase with brown leather trim.
There are a number of different sizes available to best fit your device and if you are not sure which one is best, just email them and they will work to make sure you order the proper case. To fit my Microsoft Surface Pro with Type Cover, they recommended the 44-28 and it fits perfectly.
There are options for trim and shoulder straps. Indium is included with the leather choice priced $6 more. The Surface Pro SleeveCase is priced at $59. Shoulder straps vary from $5 to $22 and are completely optional. Since I intended to carry my Surface Pro in the SleeveCase in another bag I didn't need the shoulder strap.

Oprah and Education?

Did anyone catch the Oprah show about education and seen the resulting fall out?

Oh dear, that reminds me of a lady I once met. Her great-grandparents or grandparents had come from Germany, and settled somewhere with a bunch of other Germans. We were talking, and it was mostly about how upset she was about those horrible Mexicans and especially how terrible it is that they don't learn English etc. HER people spoke English even though they had an immigrant background and in her opinion immigrants had a duty to stop speaking their native languages. She was quite harsh and insistent.
Eventually I tried to lighten the mood a bit by asking her and her dh how they met. He told the story, which culminated in the description of how they got married in her home church, and how he was a bit put out that he did not understand a word of the service because it was all in German. So of course I congratulated her warmly on being from a community that maintained its native language so well for so many generations, lol.

"What I have a problem with is people who come to this country, know they want to stay in this county, have kids in this country and NEVER bother to learn how to speak this language. "
Interestingly, this scenario is quite common in Scandinavia...and it's actually the native English speakers who are the least likely to learn the local language, even after 10 or 20 years. Most other immigrants make the effort, with more or less success. Ime, the older the immigrant the less likely the immigrant is to get fluent in another language, and some seem to lack the ability to learn regardless of how hard they try.
Nevertheless, native English speakers are famous in Scandinavia for just not bothering to even try. They can get away with it because most people are fluent in English. We were those parents who didn't speak the local language when ds started school. It was awkward, but we managed. I'm fluent now, and dh can read, write and understand Swedish well, but it took us quite a long time to get to that point.

I think accommodating as many students in the regular classroom as possible is a good thing. Let's say of the 20 students, 15 of them can learn in a traditionally taught class. And let's say two of the remaining 5 students really learn better with more tactile learning opportunities and three others learn better with more listening to learn opportunities. A good teacher should be able to create activities that include some traditional, tactile, and listening skills. And I think all of the students benefit from those kinds of activities. Because even if the first fifteen can learn in the traditional manner, doesn't mean they won't learn better with additional learning styles incorporated into the curriculum.
While clearly there are some students who cannot be totally accommodated in the classroom and require pull out services, and some students who cannot be accommodated at all (I'm thinking of students who for example are 10 chronologically, but perform at the 2 year old level), I think that as much as possible mainstreaming students is a good thing.
What I object to is simply cutting a special ed teachers position, throwing kids into a classroom where the teacher has little or no experience with incorporating teaching to multiple learning styles. It compounds the problem when there are children with severe behavior problems, especially in a school where most of the students are low income and many of the kids have parents who are uninterested in making sure their children are learning. And on top of it, testing all of the kids and if too many are failing, blaming the teachers and cutting the school's funding.
|Wed, 09-29-2010 - 11:16am
I started college as a special education major and had such a hard time with a debate going on at that time regarding mainstreaming. On one hand, I saw children who were generally intelligent but had a learning disability thrive when mainstreamed and kind of shrivel when they were put into a separate program. On the other hand, I saw kids with more severe disabilities who did really well in a special education classroom but have difficulties in the regular classroom that outweighed any benefits. At the time I was in college, there was talk of making it a black and white issue--either mainstream everyone or put everyone with any type of disability into the same classroom. Seemed ludicrous to me. For starters, the argument for putting everyone into the special ed class was that having kids with learning disabilities in a regular classroom resulted in having to slow down the pace for all kids--but having a kid with a minor learning disability in a special education classroom with a huge range of abilities/disabilities would do the same thing to that kid, probably to a much larger extent. On the other hand, putting kids with severe disabilities into a regular classroom without the appropriate resources was equally problematic, if it meant that nobody in the classroom was getting the education and support they needed.
With that said, it would be nice if we could structure it in such a way that enables each child to perform to the best of their ability, to be in the least restrictive environment they can handle, and could provide the resources needed to allow them to excel there. I'm just not sure we have found that solution. When I was in school, the gifted students were trained to help students with disabilities, paired up with them in regular classrooms, and pulled out together to go to the gifted classes and learning resource classes at the same time and in the same part of the building. it worked well, I thought. Often, it took care of two problems: students who became bored and students who were falling behind. I think now there is more of an emphasis on wanting the gifted students to be overachievers (why help another student when they could be working ahead instead) but I don't have school-aged kids yet, so maybe I am reading too much into what I have heard secondhand from others.

Lauryan Feijen
Online Advertising Strategist
In 2009 I joined the wonderful world of PPC at a dutch agency focused at SME businesses. At the time I was figuring out my way in the digital marketing world in mainly PPC, although I also did some quick SEO scans and the occasional Analytics implementation. After a year I was asked to join one of the biggest agency's in the Netherlands.
I was quick to react, as this meant working for bigger, international, brands, with bigger budgets and more challenging targets. Within this company (that was acquired by iProspect in 2012) I developed myself from PPC consultant into Sr. PPC consultant and eventually Online Advertising Strategist.
As an Online Advertising Strategist (aka Product Specialist) I'm responsible for the quality of the entire PPC department. I'm also the facilitator and stimulator in knowledge development within the team. \'m also asked on a regular basis to review cases and have in depth interviews with candidates for our PPC vacancies.

The Immune System
Researchers from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, have found that a N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), a common solvent used in a wide array of industrial and medical products, has cancer-fighting properties. The discovery came about thanks to an observant researcher, and now the solvent is set to be put to the test in a world-first clinical trial on patients with advanced blood cancer. Read More
Cloaked DNA devices evade the body's immune system

"Smart bomb" puts antibiotic resistant bacteria in its sights
The increasing prevalence of bacteria resistant to antibiotic drugs is largely blamed on the over prescription and use of such drugs in humans and animals, leading to the evolution of so-called "superbugs." A new antibiotic "smart bomb" that can target specific strains of bacteria could provide the next-generation antibiotic drugs needed to stave off the threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

In multiple sclerosis, the body's immune system attacks and damages myelin, which is the insulating layer on nerves in the spinal cord, brain and optic nerve. Just as would happen with an electrical cord with compromised insulation, this causes the nerves to short-circuit and cease functioning properly. An international team of scientists, however, have recently reported success in the first phase of clinical trials in which MS victims' immune systems were conditioned to become much more tolerant of myelin.

Though not something people like to ponder, the purpose of mucus as a protective barrier that keeps underlying tissues moist and traps bacteria and other foreign organisms is well known. However, researchers at San Diego State University (SDSU) have now discovered that the surface of mucus is also the site of an independent human immune system that actively protects us from infectious agents in the environment.

One of the biggest problems in treating HIV patients is the amount of daily individual medications it takes to keep the virus at bay. In a new study, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have engineered a new approach to tailored gene therapy that they say makes key cells of the immune system resistant to attack from the HIV virus, which may eventually lead to the removal of life-long dependencies on drugs for patients living with HIV.

Russia plans asteroid-defence space mission to Apophis
Russia may deploy defensive spacecraft against the Apophis asteroid, which is almost certainly not going to hit the Earth, according to remarks by the head of the country's space agency. "I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," said Anatoly Perminov, quoted by AP. In this Perminov is …
What's not to like?
Kill a few hundred million. That'll help deal with our overpopulation* and the polution they cause by using fossil fuels, dumping their waste electrical goods in landfill where the heavy metals leech into the water table.
Bung lots of debris into the atmosphere, that might reflect all the sunlight and reduce the effect of global warming for a few decades.
You've had numerous warnings from Gaia, now she's upping the ante. She only has to be lucky once....
*So long as the effects dont impact (in any sense of the word) on the home counties of course.
Next best option
It'll take out a couple telly birds, and millions will commit suicide in desperation from not being able to watch the idiot box.
but more importantly
Is it going to hit any of the TV satellites?. I don't want to miss Eastenders, or Corrie, or any of the repeats of Dallas, I've already only missed half of them,and I want to hit the whole hog before I die.
Boris gets a makeover
Good to see the Russians finally getting in on the game of linking their super bomb/spacecraft projects with saving 'all humanity' . After all the west have been doing it for years.
dunno where the cash will come from though but maybe RBS and HBOS are eager to add to their stellar portfolio's.
Nukes in space
Deflecting asteroids using nukes or spacecraft? That's a larf. A bit like deflecting a charging rhino with a flyswatter.

The Earth isn't a stationary target and Apophis isn't coming straight at us. We are going to arrive at the same point (or nearly the same point) in space at the same time. Apophis would only need a very small nudge years in advance of a possible collision to stop the orbits intersecting.

Yea... a small nudge, because it is close, so it will be knocked off course enough to make us all extinct on the next loop around!
If it is not going to be blown into space dust, leave it alone, on it's close journey.

Just curious if anyone has worked out the odds of it hitting one of the geosynchronous satellites in 2029
'"I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," said Anatoly Perminov, quoted by AP.'
So they guy who's planning on shunting around a lump of rock the size of a well-proportioned ocean liner isn't exactly sure when it's due to arrive?
Well that's delightfully reassuring.
2036 is the year epoch time overflows a long. This is no coincidence.

You missed by two years .... no way are we going to let you in charge of the asteroid-busting mission!
How does Gaia fling rocks like Apophis at...uh...herself? 'Tis the Universe that wants us dead. The reason is political ads. The Universe finds it offensive that Earthlings have advanced to the point where political ads are sent out via electro-magnetic waves increasing the total political pollution that other more advanced civilizations have been attempting to control via the Pol-Ad Test Ban Treaty. Every time a Klieg light turns on to illuminate a pol blathering on upon his/her next expensive project, an extra-dimensional being dies. Frankly, they've had it. Apophis is their rather blunt answer.
this is the title
I, for one, welcome our human-destroying Astroid Overlord. All hail the great Apophis.
I'm still missing something
The first time I heard about using a nuke to deflect an asteroid in space I found the idea ridiculous - and I still do.
Nukes on Earth have a devastating effect because of the air - it is the tremendous force of the explosion acting against the atmosphere that creates the shockwave which blows everything away that has not been incinerated by the initial radiation.
But in space, there is no atmosphere. So there can be no shockwave, and that removes 100% of the mechanical effects of a nuke.
The only thing I can imagine that remains is the radiation. Now I understand the concept of solar wind, and I can comprehend that a nuke may shine a boatload of radiation on the side of an asteroid, but frankly I fail to see how that could change the asteroid's course in a meaningful way.
It would more likely take a dozen nukes, at specific points of the orbit, to induce any serious change of orbit. Especially since a nuke explosion goes in all directions, so even in the very best of cases, 50% of the energy still radiates away from the asteroid, and the further away the nuke is, the less energy the asteroid will get.
To me, it feels a bit like trying to move a car by blowing on it. I just can't imagine it'll work.
White paint on one side seems a lot better. Let the Sun do the work whenever that side is showing.
Paging Mr. Newton
Just a wild guess, but you didn't exactly graduate from university with a degree in basic physics, did you?
I suppose you believe spacecraft can't move in space, because there's no air to "push against" out there.
Place some nuclear bombs on one side of an asteroid. Then explode them. A little thing called Newton's third law then takes effect. Equal-and-opposite-reaction is the common phrase. Apply the deflection while the asteroid is a great distance away, and it will have a great effect on the orbit.
The ticklish part, of course, is in the details of actually getting to the asteroid when it's far enough away, and in making sure -- bloody damn sure -- that you're not going to push it into a worse orbit that makes it MORE likely to hit Earth. But to say "there's no air out there, so it wouldn't work" is absolutely foolish.
re white paint : Илья, а обсыпь-ка его мелом...
An encouraging point of view, Pascal Monett, you have probably heard some people talking about handling the figures of 100 MTonne en charge on the loose as easy as it's just like grabbing a pack of beer bottles... well, 50 MT for the shine then, and does it really turn so that the left 50 MT kick cannot break the rock into pieces?
OK, say 5 KT will be five times enough to rub the rock of its size into the shining dust, just a tiny Mid-Eastern hardware nowadays. But an unmanned vehicle with 5 KT on board will no way get the high score. A choir of Men is the necessary tool, and its delivery to the theatre is the only problem which needs an immediate solving, l think. And, of course, it's an international affair... will there still be nations on Earth by 2032, who knows, pIease drop an article to EI Reg.
Drill a hole in Apophis if she hasn't already got a suitable one, shove the nuke in, then set it off. Hey presto, you've got several bits of Apophis flying off in one direction, and through good old Isaac's laws, the rest of it going the other way relative to the original trajectory. Rock (or whatever it is Apophis is made of; frozen stuff is infinitely better still) that's given a blast of energy will heat up if nothing else. Anything that heats up will expand, and between that and the other bits don't expand you'll get some nice fractures. Also, even a shabby nuke will *boil* said rock, and that rock vapour will want to go somewhere too. Even if it just escapes out of the hole, it will act like any other rocket engine as commonly used in space, with the reaction force pushing against the object in the opposite direction.
Are you missing something?...yes...LOTS
1) They aren't going to fire a nuke near it and let a shockwave move it. They're going to fire it AT it and either break it up or make a big bang that will push it off course.
2) The article says nuke it OR push it off course - your question asks 'how is a nuke going to push it off course.' - that's not what they are saying, but it can be done.
3) There are lots of 3)'s, I don't think you were paying much attention in Physic's. In short a tiny nudge a gazillion miles away only needs to adjust the trajectory by 0.0001 degrees to make a very large difference in distance decades later.
You really don't wanna
...break up a near-earth orbiting asteroid into hundreds of chunks. The momentum in it's orbital velocity is HUGE, and not going to be affected much at all by a nuke, even a really big one. If you blow it into bits, most of those bits will still be on very nearly the same path as before, only now it's like a shotgun blast instead of a single solid slug. A lot of the pieces probably will miss, but a lot of them will be almost certain to hit. Less damage maybe than the (unlikely) whole asteroid hitting us, but vastly increased chance of some of it hitting, over a wider and much less predictable area.
Really, you want to keep it all in one piece and use some form of low power but long-duration thrust over a period of years to slightly modify it's orbit. People have been suggesting things like painting one side of it white and letting solar radiation pressure gradually move it. That kind of thing is far more sensible, even if it doesn't have the sex appeal of a big explosion.
What? 9 comments so far and no Stargate referenced comments yet.
I suppose it would solve the problem if you could find a Stargate big enough to stuff it through.
Bit of a pisser for whoever's on the other end though. You know, having an umpteen million tonne asteroid moving at something considerably faster than fuck delivered unexpectedly to your planet like that.
I suppose that as it would just have been stuffed forcibly through a small hole it would be all hot and runny too.
Wouldn't such a device also have the capacity to alter the asteroid's course so it DOES hit Earth? Considering it's currently expected to miss, one has to wonder about the intentions of anyone who feels the need to mess with it.
Space rock? Bullshit!
Hang on this is just the Russians saying "Get rid of the that fucking missile shield or we'll park a bunch of nukes in orbit"
No one gives a monkeys about some stupid space rock
Remote Chancing World Insurance
"a remote chance - 1 in 250,000 - that the 27-million-tonne rock might pass through" -
Isn't it just 0.25 megapix, Lewis (-:
Must be an excellent opportunity to take some space photos for the wallpaper of the week. A common testing ground... and a common weapon? Hope those brainless military will blow the fcuk only after Apophis passes by the Earth, after all efforts... if this step also passes ok.
'""I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," said Anatoly Perminov, quoted by AP.'
So they guy who's planning on shunting around a lump of rock the size of a well-proportioned ocean liner isn't exactly sure when it's due to arrive?" - Mike Richards, 31 Dec 1418.
Some people are sometimes older than other. It's normal, to some extent. But if you can read cyberpunk on the TV screen, I beleive it's really no problem to recognize it in actual life also.
Make sputniks ... not missiles.
A hit-or-miss project
And former astronaut Russell L. Schweickart had this comment:
"It takes a very small change in the Apophis orbit to cause it to impact the Earth instead of missing it," Mr. Schweickart said. "There are a million asteroids out there. Find another one."
An Obvious Plot!
Yes, Russia wants to involve other countries in this mission. So this proves they're not planning to get Apophis to smash into the Earth.
But, you fools, can't you see their obvious plot? They want to get the other nations to participate so that they can steal these other nations' superior asteroid-moving technology. Then, thus armed, they'll sneak around and send some other asteroid smashing into us!!!
Original Warning by Meier
The first person to warn of this was Billy Meier, well over 20 years ago. As is the case with numerous scientific discoveries by NASA, etc., he beat them to the punch time and time again.
It's detailed in my new article ARE THE RUSSIANS READING MEIER'S WARNINGS? Please note that there are copyrighted, published books that provide irrefutable evidence for his accuracy.
I don't think that web links are permitted here but search for: Michael Horn Billy Meier and you'll find my site and the article.
While I'm sure that there will be some predictable comments, I'll just use that familiar old quote, "A word to the wise is sufficient."
So, just how wise are we?
oh please...
Hmm... can you be more specific as to what exactly in "Billy"'s ramblings we are witnessing here?
Oh, and I see you stopped using all those swear words... http://www.randi.org/jr/032604why.html#2
(Yes, I know we shouldn't feed trolls, but...)
Good idea
Not because it's in any way necessary, but as an opportunity to test something. Plenty of ideas for diverting asteroids have been proposed - nuclear bombs, rocket thrusters, reflective material, etc. - but we don't know if they'd actually work because no one has tried them yet. When we do have to deflect one, I'd be much happier knowing we have something that works rather than testing it for the first time.
I saw Space Cowboys, I know what they're planning...
But seriously, I admire the temerity of the Russian space program directors, in this bold announcement - not only because it affords one with nearly an excuse to use a fancy word such as, temerity, but moreso, I see that the announcement would allow the Russian nation to retain her sense of boldness and independence, while no less enacting (or proposing to enact) an event that (positively, so one would hope) would affect the global scene. That they would propose to invite other national space programs' cooperation, about it, I think that must be simply amicable.
Of course, the question would return, of how they would propose to fund the program. I'm sure that the good gentlewomen and gentlemen in those offices will get around to figuring that out, though, at some point..
I raise my coffee cup, in salute to the boldness of bold, positively intended announcements. Here's to seeing what it results in, on the launchpad. *cough* I mean, positively so.....
Ummm There is quite a coverup going on here
What thewy dont want to tell you is that they have been working on plutonium stability at sandia national laboratories in Albuquerque. The other thing is... its not going to work... They know this asteroid is a global killer. The US Govt is lying to you all.
What is going to happen? World War III......
And Im not kidding- Its too bad this world cant change.......
Predictable Comment
Many books are published by people who claim they have seen flying saucers. Since some people are gullible enough to think they have enough chance of being true as to be worth reading, such books are, in at least some cases, profitable to write.
So the authors copyright their books. The fact that a book is copyrighted doesn't mean anything about the truth of its content. Sadly, some books filled with nonsense are even published by reputable publishers.
Chuck Norris would seriously sidekick that asteroid to pieces if it got too close.
Testing/soft launch
Hey, even if it is going to miss, we need to test the best methods of asteroid deflection.
Let's just try it and see what happens...
It would have been so much cooler if it was called Atropos
Atropos was the one of the fates in greek mythology who "cut the strands that were mens lives at the time of death"...
Would have been so much more appropriate...

Seattle Mariners to Make Baseball History By Flying Gay Pride Flag During Game
The walls dividing sports and sex continue to come down.
The walls dividing sports and sex continue to come down.
The Supreme Court issued two rulings on Wednesday morning regarding same-sex marriage, and both were victories for gay-rights supporters.
Jason Collins' decision to reveal he's gay is having quite the impact on the sports world.
And not necessarily in a good way.
Former Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler claims an anti-bull
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the case that is challenging the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. It is the first of two gay-marriage-related cases the court will hear this week; on Wednesday it will hear arguments in United States v. Windsor, a challenge to the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Jamie Kuntz, a freshman linebacker, wasn't able to play in North Dakota State College of Sciences first football game of the year because of a concussion. Instead the 18-year-old watched the game from the press box, and it was there where Kuntz, who is gay, shared a kiss with his boyfriend
There is no "cure" for homosexuality, but that did not stop an Australian doctor from reaching into his bag of voodoo tricks and pulling out a prescription for some strange drug he claimed would rid a young man of his gay urges.
A retired couple running a now-closed bed and breakfast in British Columbia, Canada denied a gay couple access to their establishment.
Now, they have to pay the price. Literally.
Despite a call from activist groups, the Boy Scouts of America has decided to keep its controversial policy of not allowing gays to be scouts or scout leaders.
Anderson Cooper admitted that he is gay on Monday in an email to the Daily Beast, confirming what many already suspected about the 'Anderson Cooper 360′ host's sexuality. Soon after the news broke, country artists like Chely Wright and Natalie Maines took to Twitter to comment on the latest trending headline in pop culture.
"I really haven't looked at anything," Carrie Underwood admits to 'BBC Breakfast' of the backlash which resulted from her coming out in support of gay marriage. "I learned a long time ago that you cannot live your life for other people. You have to run your own race and do what you do and love what you do."
In an interview on 'CBS This Morning' a few weeks ago, '90s country star Chely Wright talked about the painful process of coming out as a lesbian to the music industry. Although Wright hasn't endured much open criticism from the country music industry, she admitted that she wished country stars would get vocal about supporting gay rights. It didn't take long for Carrie Underwood to swoop to the rescue. Last week, she told the Independent that she believes in gay marriage.

FRANKFURT: HP is looking to diversify its software offerings by focusing on more specific industries through partnerships with vertical market players, according to its European chief technologist.
Speaking in Germany, Sukhi Gill said the firm's broad technology portfolio, which includes capabilities from the likes of Autonomy and Vertica, alongside its wider software offerings for businesses, means it is well placed to deliver on this plan.
He explained the firm would then only need to partner with relevant partners in specific industries to complete their offerings, helping them offer a dedicated service wrap, ahead of what he sees as broader and more rigid rivals like SAP, Microsoft or Oracle.
"What we want to do is go after more specific industries than what we do now - which is primarily just healthcare, transportation and the public sector - by partnering with relevant firms, say event management application providers," Gill said.
"We have 90 percent of the right technology in our offerings, and then by partnering for that last bit relevant to each industry we can complete this."
Gill also touted the firm's recent acquisitions and three analytic-focused research and development labs as evidence the firm had the capabilities to develop the right services for its customers.
"We have some of the best analytics technology thanks to Vertica and Autonomy, we are making clear advances in storage and so we have the basics there. We just need to push on the consulting side, to help customers identify, define and solve their problems," he said.
Gill noted that this focus on software services was a better strategy to lead the company forward than attempting to compete in hardware, particularly mobile where pricing made it difficult to compete anymore.
"It's a hugely competitive market with Android, iOS and Microsoft devices and I think with those three players our focus on the datacentre and analytics will bring more value than selling mobile devices," he said.
"Some firms are knocking out devices for $25, you've got the Raspberry Pi for £22 - everything is getting miniaturised so my sense is that investments around analytics and information will give us better rewards."
Gill's comments appear to go against the firm's chief executive Meg Whitman, who hinted earlier this year the firm could well enter the mobile market with its own devices.
