Andy Souwer: "It is Easier to Reach the Peak Than to Stay at It."
- Written by Dave Walsh
On March 6th, It's Showtime presents an interesting card, which will be headlined against Daniel Ghita in a Superheavyweight contest. We know that much, but one of the other big fights of the evening is L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni will be taking on LiverKick's good friend Andy Souwer. Souwer has hit a rough patch of late, with his loss to MMA fighter Toby Imada preventing him from having another war with Buakaw Por. Pramuk in the Shootboxing S-Cup tournament, and then in a warm-up fight to prepare for Aussie, he dropped a disputed decision to Abraham Roqueni in France earlier this month. Souwer has been plagued by a back injury of late which has prevented him from training up to his full potential, but all seems to be in order now.
Aussie is a star on the rise, and he is in the way of Andy Souwer, who wants to take his place at the top of the mountain once again. Thankfully for everyone, our friends at AFAV have decided to document both fighters' paths to the fight for the two weeks leading up to the fight. The first episode is catching up with Andy Souwer while he trains. [source]

It's tempting to hunt the field because you can see them so well. The problem is that they can see well too and the tom expects the hen to come to him. He knows he's visible and can't figure out why the hen is not forthcoming. That makes him hangup out of shotgun range.
I prefer to hunt in the woods in a spot where it's easy for the tom to come just a little bit inside. Then by the time he can expect to see the hen he hears, he's in easy shotgun range.

Documentary reveals Haiti's health-care crisis, April 25
Posted April 22, 2005; 11:59 a.m.
"Once There Was a Country: Revisiting Haiti," a documentary chronicling the health-care crisis in the West Indian nation, will be screened at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 25, in 4 Friend Center.
Filmed by writer and director Kimberly Green, narrated by poet and author Maya Angelou and her son Guy Johnson, the 55-minute documentary examines the shortage of medical care in remote areas like Thomonde, a dirt road town in Haiti 's central plateau region. The film follows an HIV-positive young man and a family of eight suffering from tuberculosis.
Also appearing in the film are volunteer U.S. doctors, many of whom were sent by Project Medishare, a Miami-based nonprofit whose aim is to provide medical relief for the Haitian people. The doctors, working with local physicians and health-care workers, helped create a hospital that treats rural residents who otherwise might never have received proper care.
The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with Green and Ellen Powers, the executive director of Project Medishare. They will present the work in Haiti as a model for addressing health-care issues in other developing countries.
The Program in African-American Studies is sponsoring the screening and discussion.

In addition, participants have the opportunity to compete for a full scholarship to the Illinois MBA program.On Friday, February 4, 2011, the Illinois MBA program will host a Scholarship Case Competition at Accenture's Chicago Headquarters. Students invited to participate in the competition will have the opportunity to compete for top prizes, including a full scholarship to the Illinois MBA. In a case competition, you will compete with others to come up with the best solution to a business problem. Case competition problems are usually based on actual situations occurring at real organizations. The case will typically provide background information on the company and industry, description of a specific problem or decision point and some quantitative data (financial statements, market research data, copies of internal memos, etc) to facilitate the decision making process. In the Illinois Scholarship Case Competition, you will be evaluated based on your:• Understanding of the main issue of the case• Ability to analyze the supporting exhibits and draw meaningful conclusions from the data• Ability to clearly articulate your conclusions and reasoning behind them• Ability to accurately and articulately answer questions from the judges There is a lot of overlap between the skills needed to do well in a case competition and those needed at a top MBA program like Illinois. Our curriculum requires critical analysis, structured problem solving and excellent presentation skills. The skills utilized in the Case Competition aren't only important in an MBA program. They are the skills recruiters look for as well. In fact, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was just ranked in the top 3 of all schools in a recent survey of recruiters conducted by the Wall Street Journal. We hope students will take advantage of the opportunity to practice these skills by participating in the Scholarship Case Competition. As a reminder, you must submit your application to the full-time program by December 1, 2010 to be eligible to participate. As always, please contact us with any questions.stats566 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

Comment Way to fail statistics. (Score 1) 1
When the Constitution was ratified in 1789, the average American lived to be 40.
You might want to look up "infant mortality" and "bathtub curve" before citing completely meaningless "facts" such as this.
Hint: you have 100 people. 50 of them die before they turn 1 year old, 50 die at age 80. What age did the "average" one live to?

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
MSU held off South Carolina 56-54 in its SEC opener on Wednesday, buckling down defensively as freshman Craig Sword sparked the offense. On Saturday, State went on the road and knocked off Georgia, 72-61, behind junior Jalen Steele's career-high 21 points.
The Bulldogs are 2-0 in SEC play for the first time in three years, and it's a perfect start for a young team that's been beset by injuries and suffered some bad losses. First-year coach Rick Ray has gotten his team to believe in his approach, even if it means winning ugly.
Looking ahead
MSU returns home Wednesday to take on Highway 82 rival Alabama (9-6, 1-1), with tipoff at 8 p.m. on CSS. Then it's off to Knoxville on Saturday to battle Tennessee (3 p.m., SEC Network).
Who's hot
Sword has raised his level of play the last two games. He's scored 34 points, including a career-high 18 against South Carolina. Sword has made 12 of 21 shots and 8 of 14 from the free throw line. But he's also committed 10 turnovers.
Who's not
Freshman center Gavin Ware has played well this season, but he's been quiet the last couple of games. He's recorded six points on 3-of-8 shooting with 10 rebounds.
RPI watch
MSU's RPI has gotten a big boost the past week, but it's still only 238. A strength-of-schedule rank of 264 has something to do with that; South Carolina and Georgia are two of the conference's weaker teams.
Bottom line
Conventional wisdom says MSU will suffer a lot of losses during SEC play, and making the NCAA tournament remains a long shot. But for a team so inexperienced, a 2-0 SEC start could pay dividends down the line and lead to an upset or two. The overall effort, especially on defense, has become a major character trait of this team.

As part of the launch of Boaz Power TV, the video version of my written newsletter, I decided to hire an announcer to open and close this new weekly program. When I met Ed Cowden, a Los Angeles voiceover artist, I knew instantly that he was the perfect choice. In Ed I found the perfect combination of a great voice and a wonderful personality.
As is true in the world of acting, becoming a successful full-time voiceover artist is very challenging. Ed has accomplished that feat. Thus, I decided to interview him and to find out what he did to become successful in a very competitive field. We met the other day in a Los Angeles recording studio.
I learned that Ed is originally from a suburb of Boston. When he was growing up he wanted to become a lawyer. However, in high school he began to act and sing in school productions. Ed eventually studied law for two years before he realized that being an attorney was not what he really wanted to do with his life. It was not his dream.
Even though everyone around him thought he was crazy, Ed stopped going to law school in 1999 and started going to acting classes. He moved to Philadelphia, began getting acting parts in local stage and television productions, and got good reviews. Like many other people, Ed followed his dream to be an actor by moving to Los Angeles in 2003. He took acting classes in Hollywood and began to make contacts with people in the industry.
Determined to become successful, Ed did whatever it took to keep working in the industry of his dreams. In order to make extra money, he often worked as a stand-in for television shows. In talking with Ed, I quickly realized that he exemplifies something important that Napoleon Hill expressed in the book "Think and Grow Rich". That point is: Definiteness of purpose. It means focusing strongly on a definite goal and not being willing to accept anything less.
Ed committed totally to his dream and burned his bridges behind him. He feels that "playing it secure" means people only give half an effort. He was willing to give it all for his dream. Ed eventually discovered that he really liked doing voice-over work as opposed to acting. He would practice for two hours each day, seven days a week, before he would go on many auditions. Persistence eventually paid off and he started getting voice-over jobs on a regular basis.
"I did whatever needed to be done, whether I felt like it or not," related Ed. He further stated that he worked on his attitude every day to make sure that he kept focused on his dream. Ed's persistence paid off. He has now done national radio campaigns, has voiced various video games, and he does many narrations for industrial and instructional videos.
Thus, Ed is yet another example of why some people succeed at achieving their dreams and many do not: Definiteness of purpose, persistent effort, and a great attitude. To me, Ed Cowden is indeed the voice of determination. If you wish to hire him to be the voice of a commercial or a corporate project, just send me an e-mail and I'll get you in contact with Ed.
Response continues to be very good to the new "30 Day Can Do Program for Kids" CD. The short daily messages will instill in children certain positive thoughts that will help them become more confident, more caring, more respectful, and more successful. Here are some of the daily topics: Being a good student, being a good sport, the value of reading, setting goals, getting things done, confidence, and determination.
This is recommended for children 4 to 12. As a bonus to the CD, you will be e-mailed the "Can Do Workbook", a great e-book supplementary teaching tool to the audio messages.
If you would like to order this exciting new CD, which has a 6-month money-back guarantee, simply send a check for $29 to me at the following address:
Boaz Rauchwerger
14431 Ventura Blvd., #249
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
Be sure to include your e-mail address so we can send the bonus e-book.
This will also make a great gift for grandchildren, nieces and nephews, children of friends, or any other child that could benefit from a highly-productive, self-image-building program that will positively affect their lives.
A Determination Affirmation:
I am focused on my dream, show persistence, and I am determined to achieve it.

Deck-ade the Halls: Santa's Stockings
Happy Monday, quilters! We are delighted to bring you the latest installment of the Deck-ade the Halls Quilt Along! No Christmas is complete without a mantle dressed with stockings, filled with little gifts and treats. So today we are making Santa's Stockings!
For our stocking blocks, we wanted to take the iconic stocking and add our Fat Quarter Shop pizazz. Two rows of chevron decorate each stocking and we added a bold, focal print to the cuff. Our two stockings are made with complimentary colors, red and green, but we are excited to see what colors you choose to use!
To accompany the PDF pattern, available for free on our Deck-ade the Halls page, we filmed another instructional video to show you the ins and outs of the Santa's Stocking blocks. Kimberly will walk you through the essential elements of the blocks, creating flying geese blocks, corner square triangles and sewing an accurate 1/4 seam. After viewing the video, the Santa's Stockings blocks will be a breeze!
Join in the Deck-ade the Halls quilt along and start sewing with us! Start with the fabric requirements, which detail what you will need to make this quilt. If you are smitten with our version in Aspen Frost (why wouldn't you be!), you can purchase a kit in our shop, but we welcome you to sew with whatever tickles your fancy! Each block is accompanied by an instructional video to give you tips and tricks for sewing the blocks accurately. And once you complete your blocks, be sure to upload them to Flickr!
We hope you enjoy Santa's Stockings! Come back in two weeks for gift, the Season of Giving blocks. Happy sewing!

Recently my brother and I went to a state mamagement area to call some turkeys. The area is closed to turkey hunting so its good place to go and pratice. We had a good moring seeing about 20 birds and had several close encounters. As we were walking out I saw a black pick-up with a gold shield on the door comming down the road. The truck stopped and the driver looked at us then pulled into the parking lot. As we got to the lot the trucks was waiting for us, it was a local Conservation Officer. The CO asked what we were hunting and we expalined that we had been only calling turkeys and that we didnt have any guns or bows with us. The CO then asked us where our targets were, we again told him we were not shooting anything. The more we explained what we were doing the more it became obvious that the CO had no idea what we were talking about. We went so far as to pull out a copy of the turkey regs and show him that the are we were in was closed to hunting so we knew we could safely pratice calling. Again he kept asking where our targets where but never asked if we had guns. We showed him the calls we had and he had no clue what the calls were. How in the world do enforce game laws when you have no idea what the current hunting season is about?
Before any law enforcement types get ruffled no this officer was not reasking questions to see if we changed answers. He only asked the one question one way, where are your targets? He never got out of the truck, never asked for any ID, never checked for weapons or anything else. If he thought we were shooting or poaching he should of been doing all those things.

Beyond Granite: The Geology of Adventure
Beyond Granite: The Geology of Adventure is an exhibition at the Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University. It is on view from March 25, 2014 through March 8, 2015. The exhibition explores the geological underpinnings of three of the most popular forms of recreation in the White Mountains: climbing, hiking, and skiing/snowboarding. We investigate the fundamental Earth processes that have shaped these mountains we love, and we make the connections between the stories of our outdoor pursuits and the stories of the land itself.

After the EFF and MPAA briefs pass as ships in the night to Judge Kaplan's chambers, we wait to see whom he gives what grounds for appeal...and how soon. Time, perhaps, for a mid-term assessment of the Openlaw strategy (or more likely, for more law-firm-associate hacking at briefs and research questions).
(so, how does the trust metric deal with certifications on different scales -- I'm here more on the strength of my legal work, supporting open source/free sofware through work with the Berkman Center and its Openlaw project, than my unsightly Perl programming, I'm sure -- can I certify others based on their participation in the DeCSS defense?)
(and why do these textboxes keep eating my quotation marks?)

So I was on the landing page and clicking away right before 9am.
At 9:02 I got a system error message.
It is 9:15 now.
At 9:10 I started getting a message that there are likely no badges left available and they're sold to capacity.
Yeah, right.
I wonder if there's a conspiracy to make Comic Con a professional trade show only and therefore not allowing every-day cretans in?

Biomonitoring California
The purpose of the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program, also called Biomonitoring California, is to:

New Lethal Injections Could Cause Extreme Pain, Make Deaths "Drag On" for Hours
Medical experts say two new execution methods may cause inmates to seize, vomit, spasm, or suffocate in deaths that go on for hours.
Next Thursday, executioners for the state of Ohio will inject convicted murderer Ronald Phillips with a combination of midazolam and hydromorphone—two drugs that have never before been used in a lethal injection. The two-drug cocktail may have its intended effect, and Phillips may slip into a state of amnesia before quietly dying. But hydromorphone, a powerful painkiller, is not designed to kill, and physicians have no idea how much hydromorphone it will take to end Phillips' life. It's possible that Phillips' execution will fail, or drag on for hours, his sedative wearing off as he vomits, seizes, or slowly suffocates.
A week later, on November 20, Missouri will perform a similar experiment on death row inmate Joseph Paul Franklin. Missouri will become the third state, after Texas and South Dakota, to inject an inmate with pentobarbital synthesized in a compounding pharmacy—a type of drug manufacturer that is not subject to Food and Drug Administration safety regulations. The pentobarbital may simply stop Franklin's heart, as intended. But if it is contaminated by tiny particles—as drugs manufactured by compounding pharmacies often are—the insides of Franklin's veins will feel as though they're being scraped with sandpaper as he dies, warns David Waisel, an associate professor of anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School.
Over the past several years, international drugmakers and the European Union have banned the sale of drugs for use in executions. This has made the components of the Supreme Court-approved three-drug cocktail that states traditionally used to kill inmates—composed of a sedative that left the inmate unable to feel pain, a second drug that works as a paralytic agent, and a third drug that stops his heart—progressively harder to obtain. To overcome this hurdle, Ohio will try to kill an inmate with a never-before-used combinations of drugs, and Missouri will become the third state to execute an inmate using drugs from an unregulated pharmacy. But as Missouri and Ohio's unprecedented executions approach, medical and legal experts say that they are hard put to predict how much pain these new drug protocols will inflict on death row inmates, or how long convicts may linger before the drugs finally kill them.
"We don't know how these drugs are going to react because they've never been used to kill someone," says Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor and an expert on lethal injections. "It's like when you wonder what you're going to be eating tonight and you go home and root through your refrigerator to see what's there. That's what these departments of corrections are doing with these drugs."
In Ohio, where new rules call for executioners to kill inmates with an overdose of the painkiller hydromorphone, experts worry that some of hydromorphone's excruciating side effects may kick in before Phillips dies. Jonathan Groner, a professor of clinical surgery at the Ohio State University College of Medicine who has written extensively on the death penalty, says effects of a hydromorphone overdose include an extreme burning sensation, seizures, hallucination, panic attacks, vomiting, and muscle pain or spasms. Waisel, who has testified extensively on capital-punishment methods, adds that a hydromorphone overdose could result in soft tissue collapse—the same phenomenon that causes sleep apnea patients to jerk awake—that an inmate who had been paralyzed would be unable to clear by jerking or coughing. Instead, he could feel as though he were choking to death.
Because hydromorphone is not designed to kill a person, Groner says, there are no clinical guidelines for how to give a lethal overdose. "You're basically relying on the toxic side effects to kill people while guessing at what levels that occurs," he explains.
Many death row inmates are morbidly obese—they leave their cells only one hour a day—or are former drug abusers whose veins have collapsed or are riven with scar tissue. Both factors make setting an IV line extremely difficult, especially when the person doing so is a prison staffer with limited medical training. (Phillips, the Ohio prisoner, testified that during an October checkup, doctors had a hard time locating his veins.) An improperly administered sedative could cause an inmate to remain awake throughout his execution. Denno notes that in 2006, a California judge ruled that there was enough evidence to conclude that 6 of 11 inmates executed since 1978 did not receive enough sedative and died painful deaths. If the hydromorphone IV is set poorly, says Groner, "it would be absorbed under the skin, subcutaneously, very slowly, and that death could be extremely prolonged…It may be painful, and it may take forever."
Executioners tend to administer drugs much faster than a doctor would. "They push on the plunger as hard as they can and get out of there, because it's unpleasant to be involved with somebody's death," Groner says. But infusing a drug too quickly can have dangerous effects—and because doctors are not in the habit of administering hydromorphone too quickly, the medical community has no way of predicting what those effects are.
When Ohio executes Phillips, it will become the second state to sedate a death row inmate with midazolam—a drug which causes memory loss and relaxation, but not necessarily a loss of awareness—instead of sodium thiopental, the powerful anesthetic in the Supreme Court-approved three-drug cocktail. Only one other death row inmate has received a lethal injection containing midazolam—William Happ, whom Florida put to death in October. Medical experts worried ahead of Happ's execution that the midazolam would wear off before he died, resulting in extreme pain. The day after Happ's execution, the Associated Press reported, "It appeared Happ remained conscious longer and made more body movements after losing consciousness" than prisoners who were sedated by drugs that are no longer available.
"Reporters who witness executions are a salty bunch," Groner says. "Nothing really bothers them. But I talked to reporters who were there in Florida. And one said to me, 'I thought he would never die'…I think that's pretty torturous, to be told you're about to die, and to do it takes an hour and a half." Allen L. Bohnert, an assistant federal public defender who is helping represent Phillips in Ohio, argues that a prolonged death like this would be unconstitutional. This is part of Bohnert and his colleagues' case for delaying Phillips' execution, although the Supreme Court has not spelled out whether pain from an execution constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
Although Ohio's new execution drugs have lethal-injection experts particularly worried, Missouri's decision to acquire lethal drugs from unregulated compounding pharmacies is a source of concern, too.
Pentobarbital, the drug that Missouri will use to kill Franklin, has been used frequently in executions for the past several years. But pentobarbital's European manufacturer, Lundbeck, has refused to sell the product for executions since 2011, and the last supply of pentobarbital that Lundbeck sold to any US state for executions will expire this month. So Missouri officials have turned to compounding pharmacies to synthesize a pentobarbital knockoff from raw materials.
It unclear whether the other states that rely on pentobarbital will follow Missouri, South Dakota, and Texas' example and turn to compounding pharmacies for the drug. But at least one other state, Georgia, faced legal challenges in doing so. After Georgia opted to use compounded pentobarbitol, concerns about the product prompted a judge to grant a death row inmate a stay of execution. Concerns include the fact that compounded drugs are prone to contamination. Pentobarbital that contains even tiny contaminants, says Waisel, could cause an inmate immense pain in his veins that Waisel compared to rubbing sandpaper on an open wound.
Missouri officials have refused to identify which compounding pharmacy the state will use. But surveys by the FDA and state boards of pharmacy routinely find that drugs from these facilities are not as potent as they should be, says Sarah Sellers, a safety consultant for pharmaceutical companies. Waisel says that pentobarbital that is not potent enough could result in a lingering death that "drags on and drags on and drags on. It would be awful."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:20 PM GMT on July 01, 2010
Hurricane Alex, the strongest June hurricane in 44 years, is Tropical Storm Alex, thanks to passage over the rugged terrain of Mexico. Alex made landfall at 9pm CDT last night, 110 miles south of Brownsville, Texas, as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds. Alex was the strongest June hurricane since Hurricane Alma of 1966, which had 125 mph winds as it skirted the west coast of Florida. Brownsville long-range radar shows that Alex's heavy rains continue to pound the Texas/Mexico border region, and satellite estimates of rainfall (Figure 1) show that some of Alex's spiral bands dumped rains in excess of five inches today, in addition to the 5+ inches that fell yesterday. The Brownsville airport received 6.46" of rain as of 8am CDT today from Alex. Alex is being blamed for at least thirteen deaths in Central America and Mexico due to flooding, though none of these deaths occurred in the region where the storm made landfall. Alex spawned two tornadoes that hit South Texas, and there were at least four other reports of tornado funnel clouds that did not touch ground. Alex may continue to spawn isolated tornadoes today over South Texas and northern Mexico.

Figure 3. Alex nearing landfall in northeastern Mexico at 12:10 CDT June 30, 2010, as seen by the MODIS instrument on NASA's Terra satellite. Image credit: NASA.
Storm Surge
Alex's maximum storm surge occurred along a 50-mile stretch of the Mexican coast centered about 75 miles south of Brownsville, Texas. The National Hurricane Center Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model predicted that the maximum water depth at the coast reached about 5 - 6 feet above ground level (Figure 3.) A storm surge of 1 - 2 feet was predicted by SLOSH for the Brownsville, Texas region. A storm surge of about 2 feet was observed in South Texas at the South Padre Island Coast Guard Station and Port Isabel.
Figure 4. Hurricane Alex's Maximum Water Depth (storm tide minus the elevation of the land it is passing over) computed using the primary computer model used by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to forecast storm surge--the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. The accuracy of the SLOSH model is advertised as plus or minus 20%. The maximum surge occurred to the right of where Alex's core made landfall, over a sparsely populated marshy area. This "Maximum Water Depth" image shows the water depth at each grid cell of the SLOSH domain. Thus, if you are inland at an elevation of five feet above mean sea level, and the combined storm surge and tide (the "storm tide") is ten feet at your location, the water depth image will show five feet of inundation. For more information on storm surge, consult our detailed storm surge pages.
Alex in historical context
Alex is the first June hurricane since Hurricane Allison of 1995. There have been only eleven hurricanes in May or June since 1945; only four of these were major Category 3 or higher storms.
Alex's bizarre behavior
Alex had several rather remarkable features I've never seen in a hurricane. Firstly, it underwent an eyewall replacement cycle as a Category 1 hurricane with 80 mph winds. Usually, we don't see the inner eyewall collapse and an eyewall replacement cycle occur until a hurricane reaches Category 3 strength. I've seen it happen on occasion to a Category 2 storm, but never a Category 1. Secondly, after Alex's inner 9-mile diameter eyewall collapsed at 10am EDT yesterday morning, an outer spiral band began to become the new eyewall. Winds in this outer spiral band/new eywall increased as the day progressed, as typically happens in an eyewall replacement cycle. However, part way through that process, Alex suddenly reversed course, and was able to build a small inner eyewall with a 12-mile diameter that was completed by landfall. I've never seen a hurricane change its mind in the middle of an eyewall replacement cycle and build an inner eyewall so fast. Finally, Alex had an unusually weak winds, considering how low the pressure was. The pressure was more typical of a hurricane one Saffir-Simpson category stronger than what the surface winds suggested.
Elsewhere in the tropics
The latest run of the NOGAPS model predicts the formation of a tropical depression the Western Caribbean on Tuesday. None of the other models is showing tropical development worthy of concern over the coming seven days.
Wind and ocean current forecast for the BP oil disaster
Alex is continuing to generate very rough conditions over the Deepwater Horizon blowout location, with 5 - 9 foot waves and 3 - 4 foot swells. The wind and seas will gradually subside today, according to the latest marine forecast from NOAA. The resulting currents induced by Alex's strong winds will push oil to many protected bays and estuaries that haven't seen oil yet. The latest trajectory forecasts from NOAA and the State of Louisiana show oil will also move westward along the central Louisiana coast towards the Texas border. Winds will decrease to 5 - 15 knots Friday through Tuesday but remain mostly out of the southeast, keeping the pressure on the regions of coast in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi that are seeing oil hit their shores this week.

Hah! The book is (yet again) ready to be sent to editors.
Hours of LaTeX hacking and tons of sweat and tears created a
pretty decent looking novel. However, it seems the longer I
wait, the worse the book gets... well, next time I speed
things up so I don't have to go through this 'How could I
write this' phase.
The term paper really is gone! Done with, finito!
The next big problem is to get my butt up in the mornings and actually try to study that vlsi stuff and the theoretic computer science stuff. yuk. Oh well can't have everything. Only five more weeks and I am free! Yes! ( well unfortunately only if I study the next 5 weeks...)

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – What Jalen Steele did to earn the discipline of his coach isn't publicly known, but the ramifications are clearly evident.
Steele, Mississippi State's junior guard, is serving an indefinite suspension for an unspecified violation of team rules. It caused him to miss Saturday's 83-58 loss to Florida, and he'll be out at least one more game – Wednesday against Missouri.
It's bad enough that Steele's absence leaves MSU (7-15, 2-8 SEC) with only six available scholarship players. It's also extremely disappointing to first-year coach Rick Ray to see his main leader take himself out of action due to a "bad decision."
Ray called that decision a "selfish act," and he added, "I think more than anything you're screwing your team and you're screwing your teammates when you get into trouble like that."
Steele, the Bulldogs' most experienced player, is averaging 9.3 points per game.
It might just be coincidence, but all of Ray's disciplinary issues have dealt with older players. Junior college transfer Colin Borchert was suspended three games in November, and prior to the season Ray dismissed junior Shaun Smith and junior transfer Kristers Zeidaks.
With senior Wendell Lewis unlikely to return this season because of injury, there's nowhere for the young players to turn for guidance. Against Florida, Borchert was joined in the starting lineup by two freshmen and two sophomores.
"The thing that's disappointing for me as far as our disciplinary issues, is our freshmen need somebody to look up to, and so right now, to be honest with you, we just don't have that," Ray said. "And that's been a problem, because these guys are coming into the program, and they're looking for an experienced guy to show them the way, and we just haven't had that."
Steele's suspension is just the latest obstacle in a season that's been full of them. One thing Ray likes about this team is its resiliency and feels it's in a "pretty good (mental) state" despite an eight-game losing streak.
Even when the Bulldogs got down by 26 points to Florida in the second half, they kept getting after it.
"That's all we can do when we're down that much, is keep fighting, don't give up," said freshman guard Fred Thomas, who scored eight points that game.
Thomas said it was disappointing to lose Steele, but, "We still can't hang our heads. We still have to go out there and play and compete, so that's what we did."

|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Wow, did I get an education.....
I am obviously out of my league here...just an old trout bum turned bonfish nut.
The rigging, once explained, was so simple, and obvious (or should have been)
that I am a little red-faced...not the first time...not the last......the rigs are really a gift for a guide friend down Abaco way, but thought as we planned a little in-shore, that I'd use my 12wt for the first time.......bottom line: 3 feet of shock (already on the pre-rigged skirts), 40/50 to the fly line, and 50lb , surgically inserted loop........it all makes sense now...local shop will put it together .....
Airshow maneuver...
LOOP d' LOOP
google "dan blanton"...he's got an article called "getting looped" that may be of interest...
also...there are books dedicated to the art of the knot and riggin' up for steroid enhanced fly fishing on-the-brink...
but, stand by to stand by...I suspect there will be "sound advice" to follow...
Leader to Line Connection ?
Here is the deal. My saltwater experience has been limited to bones a few missed Permit shots. I have taken a few sharks on my guides spin/monster reel set-ups. Heading to the Bahamas shortly. Bought a bunch of 130 and 100 pound pre-rigged trolling type set-ups. QUESTION: How in the heck, do you connect that to a 12wt floating line ? Is floating line out of the question ? Not looking for 1000 pound Marlin, just maybe a 100 sail, bull dolphin....whatever. Just cannot figure out the how to connect leader to line....given the significant difference in diameter...??? Clamps ? What size ? Thanks in advance

Yay, another diary entry. Actually, I consider averaging once a week is good enough for me.
I agree with mbp, sometimes the diaries seem more like yelling into a huge room. Of course, you can't see into it, and the only reason to think anyone's listening is that occasionally, someone shouts back. Interesting how people use their diaries instead of the article comments to discuss articles, too.
Maybe if advogato had sections for articles, like "Technical", "Philosophy", or "Social", there would be less complaining and anti-certifying about off-topicness.
While on the topic of meta-osfs[1], I think it would be interesting to document how specific large open projects (more than a few dozen dedicated developers/contributors) work in terms of coordination and project management. This kind of thing seems to be reinvented by the individual projects. While, obviously, something that works for one project doesn't necessarily work for another, sharing insights and experiences might be helpful, and just interesting in its own right for the armchair anthropologists. I suppose everyone who knows is too busy working on their respective projects, though.
Does anyone actually read the TOS for Sourceforge? IANAL, but some of the stuff looks a little strange, like 6a, which covers "any Content" that is "harmful", "vulgar", "abusive", or "otherwise objectionable". Does stuff like "Hey, you suck", or "This code is a POS" count? And 6i, which states that you can't "cause a screen to 'scroll' faster than other users of the Service are able to type". When debugging stuff on IRC, I often paste a few screenfuls of logs or compiler output, definitely "faster than other users of the Service are able to type". Am I allowed to do that? Actually, I'd say any heated discussion in realtime with more than a few participants goes faster than I can type (in that I wouldn't be able to log the conversation by typing it. It doesn't seem terribly well defined. (does "faster than other users are able to type have a legal definition?)). How about 6h? I can't "transmit any material that contains ... files or programs designed to interrupt destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software...". When doing software devlopment, there are often legitimate reasons to do so, such as posting "Hey, I crashed $PROGRAM, here's how", or "I saw an exploit for $PROGRAM on bugtraq, we should fix it". Note that this isn't even restricted to public forums, so you technically can't even do this on, say, a private developer mailing list. I hope I'm just being unreasonably paranoid.
[1] Open Source and/or Free Software, because I don't want to make a distinction between them in contexts where there is none.

Do y'all think we might aught to be careful about suing the EPA or anybody? Are we going to find ourselves w/out farmers that allow us to use their land?
Mark, not a prayer. farmers would never link the removal of pesticides from the market to beekeepers. Most would never realize the product was removed. In all likely hood the product would be reformulated and still marketed under the same name anyway. Keep in mind company's spend a fortune to get a name recognized.
How many people are aware that after being originally developed produced and market. Armour all was sold to another company that completely changed what is in the bottle. You cannot even buy the original Armour All today.
Very slippery slope!:s
The Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Europe "studies" were nothing more than studies to see if enough pesticides had accumulated in the hives to be testable. None of those "studies" had any intention of showing any link to colony collapse, and if anything are being used completely out of context in order to "prove" that there's "no evidence." The fact that countries that haven't seen CCD in the numbers we have in the U.S. (many of these countries having already banned many of the pesticides and fungicides that we still have legalized in the U.S.) means that these studies mean absolutely zilch. That Randy Oliver is quoting them as any sort of "proof" or lack thereof is not only incredibly bad "science" but on the verge of outright falsification of information.
Let's then take a look at the three that actually came from studies in the United States:
The first study (found here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:...l.pone.0006481) is my favorite.
The quote by Mr. Oliver taken from the study is as follows: "This study found no evidence that the presence or amount of any individual pesticide occurred more frequently or abundantly in affected apiaries or colonies." A carefully worded statement to be sure, but the truth is, it didn't even need to be that carefully worded. By looking at the pesticides that were tested for (found in Table 9.) you'll see that, curiously, the very pesticides that are getting the finger pointed at them (neonicotinoids) are suspiciously absent. Let me make this very clear. They did not even TEST for the pesticides that are the most likely culprit for CCD. They did, however, confirm what other tests have shown, that the bees (having had their immune systems weakened by "something") show an increase in viral or bacterial infection.
This becomes even more damning (for Mr. Oliver) with the "USA (2012 CCD Progress Report)" quote, which is taken completely out of context of the actual report (which can be read here: http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/emon/sur...report2012.pdf.
The quote SEEMS to indicate that the pyrethroids are a "larger threat" than the neonicotinoids when in fact, this is a case of "look at my left hand so you can ignore what my right hand is doing." While they are finding higher CONCENTRATIONS of the medications that the bee keepers apply directly to their hives (um... duh?) than they are of the pesticides used on crops, this has absolutely zero indication that this means the neonicotinoids are somehow "safer." Let me show you another quote from this very same report: "In particular, exposure to pesticide-contaminated dust from abrasion of certain pesticide-treated seed (e.g., corn) during spring plantings appears to have negative effects on individual honey bees in experimental (laboratory and field) settings." Despite this report having been put together by the USDA and the EPA, two groups that (call me a conspiracy theorist) have a history of suspect practices anyway, from allowing Monsanto and its untested GMOs to run wild, to the EPA who is even listed in the lawsuit - they still had to admit that testing had shown that the pesticides from "pesticide-treated seed" (this is most likely the neonicotinoid coated seeds from the marriage of Monsanto and Bayer being referenced) did, in fact, show negative effects. Yet Mr. Oliver chose to ignore THIS quote, and instead take one that paited a rosier picture out of context.
Finally, there's the "USA (Stationary Hive Project)" (found here: http://www.beeccdcap.uga.edu/documen...umnDec2012.pdf)
To say that this study was "bad science" would be the understatement of the year. It appears to be a project that was put on by a bunch of fifth graders. (They claim to be from a college, but I really hope this isn't what's passing for "science" now days.) No controls, no blind studies, HUNDREDS of confounding variables, NO actual "colony collapse disorder" indicators, and a grand total of 210 hives studied in 7 locations. (a total of 30 hives per site over the span of 3 years). The bees were dumped in as packages in 2009, and then they just watched them die out as they did nothing *at all* to treat/prevent ANY sort of parasites. All the while having the amateur students do the "inspections" of the hives, even in the middle of winter! Then when the vast majority of the hives didn't survive the winter, they tried to use this as a datapoint? There's not even a mention in the "study" as to whether or not they harvested honey from the bees, or how much they had going into the winter! Quoting this "study" at all makes me seriously question Randy Oliver's motives.
Particularly in the light of two REAL studies being done that HAVE shown a strong correlation between neonicotinoids and CCD, (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012...dies-find?lite) I have to seriously, seriously question whether or not one Mr. Randy Oliver doesn't have a reason for his incredible bias. "Science" and synthetic treatment is not the solution here, it's the problem. Yet on his website he repeatedly touts his "experiments" as showing that we need to synthetically screw with something as natural as the honey bee. This is precisely how we got here in the first place.
Randy's going to have to do better than quoting "studies" that show pesticide rates in comb in other countries that don't have our same collapse problems, and either pulling quotes out of context from U.S. studies, or quoting really, really, REALLY bad "studies" done by a bunch of kids without so much as a control to be seen to convince me that the real studies that HAVE found a correlation aren't on to something.
Javin, thank you. you saved me a lot of background work that I really don't have the time to do right now. But your post is consistent with what I have been finding when I look deeper into these issues.
Wildbranch. Right,... so much for any expectation that you will be keeping up. Jut in case you or anyone else really is confused. Javin was not saying he does not know who randy is or what he does. He is saying he does not know why he is doing it. I know, I know it was wickedly deceitful for him to intentionally confuse you like that.
Why don't you go over to Bee-L and confront him? That would be very interesting. Personally his credentials are pretty good and his science is excellent.Quote:

Maybe your knowledge and Javin's knowledge is equally as credible and well thought out as Randy Oliver's, but I haven't seen enough to know.
As long as we are being precise, I'm not sure how you show a correlation between anything and "ccd" without actually being able to reliably cause CCD by doing the thing you think is causing it, or by showing a very, very strong correlation between CCD symptoms and circumstances surrounding the hives. I don't believe that either of the studies that you cite indirectly via NBC "shows a strong correlation between neonicotinioids and CCD". They explore some of the impacts of neonics, but they haven't shown they can cause CCD under any circumstance the bees are actually exposed to, and they haven't shown that CCD is restricted to bees exposed to neonics.Quote:
Particularly in the light of two REAL studies being done that HAVE shown a strong correlation between neonicotinoids and CCD,
I'd be happy to hear quotes from the studies in question that do show a strong correlation between neonics and CCD...but probably should come from the studies and not from NBC.
First of all. nobody is suing anyone for a settlement. they are suing the EPA for not doing their job. Could that result in a settlement? when it is all said and done maybe. But not in this case. what they are suing for is that the EPA can no longer allow these lax approvals of chemicals to continue. And those chemicals that are being used due to these lax approvals will be removed from the market.
You all just sort of build an entire universe to live in around the simplest things. All they have to demonstrate is that these quick path approval methods the EPA uses are not reliable and are in fact a failure on the EPA's part to do what they exist for. Way have an EPA we can just set a gal behind a desk to collect the exemption applications.
Basically what it looks like to me is that the EPA put an exception to the approval process. most likely for things that had little chance of being a danger and with the idea that full approval would have to be carried out. Business being what it is and loop holes being what they are. it turns out that this exception now becomes a way that companies can put products on the market for years and never actually go through the entire approval process. They simply file for the exemption again.
Meeting the exemption requirements may for example require far fewer tests at far less expense than full approval. So it may be nothing more than a matter of is is cheap and easier for a company to operate year after year under the exception. than to ever file for full approval. There may not be anything at all wrong with the product it is just making smart business decisions. Plus the studies needed for full approval are long and complex. who is to say it does not take 20 years to complete them? As a person who has work for the government for a long time I am telling you noone will tell someone how long they can take in regard to these matters. we will say you have to test these products. but would never tell them how long that takes.
No chemical in my department is allowed to be used unless I have an MSDS on it. Once I have it anyone can use it. That the MSDS says the product can be fatal is not used properly is not my concern. I do not read an MSDS and say. oh this product cannot be used. All I do is possess the MSDS. that is my job. the use of the product is someone elses job. Yes it is complex, ridiculous and extraordinarily ineffective. but it is the way it is done.
So over their is the EPA. and they all know that for a product to be approved the manufacturer bust do this that and the other thing. or they can, by the rules file for an exemption. They do not care that an exemption exists. or if it is abused or if it is used in accordance with it's intent. it exists and it can in fact be used. it is the rules. rules made by someone else somewhere else.
Now beekeepers come along ans say, Hey you are not using this exemption the way it was intended to be used. the EPA reads the rules and says "Ho so" the rules are right here and we are following them. The beekeepers say but it is not protecting us when you use it that way. The EPA says sorry but those are the rules. Now the beekeeprs are taking the EPA to court so that a judge can tell them how the rule works. and that is about all that is happening. And whatever the judge says is how the EPA will treat the rule in the future. There is noone anywhere even remotely associated with the EPA that really gives a dry crusty turd about weather Bayer makes money. beekeepers keep bees or anything else. What they care is that there cabinets are all nicely filled with all the proper paperwork. And as of right now according to their files they have done nothing wrong. never have. If tomorrow the rules change so will the paperwork. and they could care less if even one bee survives as a result. They could not care less if Bayer goes belly up as a result. Nobody is beign bought. no corruption is goign on. it is just your standard every day government managment.
Now do you really want these people in charge of your health care? it ain't gonna get any better folks. It does not get important enough for them to do it any better. You and everyone dear to you can rot and die and they will not care. They will be far to busy arranging their paper work and looking for their bag of chips.
If you really thin that government cannot be that useless. try this real example. Two carpenters over three days where able to put up three pieces of metal siding. I know I watched it happen. One of those carpenters is now the supervisor of the department. Cause he is one of their best. o there was nothing complex about this siding . no unusual reason for it to take so long. How they did it I am not completely sure and I was there. It was a lot like trying to watch grass grow and then being asked to make a report of it's progress.
So you all may wonder how the EPA could fail to protect beekeepers. My question is more like how can they ever succeed.
IF this actually works, and the EPA figures they will indeed pull neonics from commercial use, is the action going to stop there? How about every other pesticide used on crops that kills bees? They are all documented to damage honey bee health, and how about fungicides? Lots of stuff coming down the pipe on that.
Do we actually think agriculture is going to turn the clock back 50 years? I grant you this action is a bold move, but I doubt the courts will open up this can of worms
you seem to have a sufficient background in the science behind all of this to join the 'informed discussion' that is taking place on bee-l.
randy does not shy away from challenges to his conclusions when they are more intellectually rather than emotionally directed, which is why he no longer participates here.
please, join the bee-l list and lodge your criticism directly to randy. i would also be very interested in his response.
What a bunch of cop outs! Read the darn studies yourself...they are written in english.
Even a cursory reading of the post reveals:
...so Randy is being accused of not equating clear cut cases of pesticide poisoning as CCD? Yes, we know that there are issues with the dust.....but these incidents are obvious pesticide poisoning (as evidenced by the fact that they were testing piles of dead bees), and hardly fit any definition of CCD. Do some reading folks...it's much more fun (and informative) than letting other people digest it all for you.Quote:
"In particular, exposure to pesticide-contaminated dust from abrasion of certain pesticide-treated seed (e.g., corn) during spring plantings appears to have negative effects on individual honey bees in experimental (laboratory and field) settings." Despite this report having been put together by the USDA and the EPA, two groups that (call me a conspiracy theorist) have a history of suspect practices anyway, from allowing Monsanto and its untested GMOs to run wild, to the EPA who is even listed in the lawsuit - they still had to admit that testing had shown that the pesticides from "pesticide-treated seed" (this is most likely the neonicotinoid coated seeds from the marriage of Monsanto and Bayer being referenced) did, in fact, show negative effects.

I find Randy very easy to relate to, as do many others. It is very important we have people criticize his work, as that is what science is all about,
No insult to Camero and I will take him at his word for what he considers excellent. I also tend to like Randy Oliver. But at beast Randy is a laid back go between of science and the layman. In fact that is what I think Randy wants to be. But Excellent science? I suppose you woudl have to ask in comparison to what? ow keep in mind I hob nob around the halls of a leading medical research facility for a living. So my idea of excellence in science might be a little different than Cameros. I figure if you can understand the title of the study it probably is not to deep into excellence. Science and it's reports are not for general public consumption. Most of it requires a degree to even understand. You have to study the reports not just read them. Even the stuff that is commonly linked to on this site in regard to studies findings etc. are casual in comparison. That is how I woudl describe Randy. Casual. as for his credentials. I have no idea.
Religions (and cults) always run more smoothly when "the people" have to have the holy books read or interpreted by the priests.....at least it runs more smoothly for the priests!

Psychedelic sounds in a dark atmosphere make Moon Duo gigs out of this world, writes Lydia Jenkin
Back in 2009, Wooden Shjips (yes, it is spelt with a J) guitarist Ripley Johnson decided to form a side project duo with partner Sanae Yamada.
Their motivation came from wanting to tour as a slimmed-down unit, with an economically lighter load, meaning they could spend more time on the road. Wooden Shjips, a four-piece band out of San Francisco, were still going full steam ahead with their loose, psychedelic and atmospheric rock'n'roll sound, but Johnson also had enough creative ideas for a second project, and was interested in doing something a little more danceable and streamlined.
"They're similar," Ripley muses down the phone from Portland, where they're based, "but I think that Moon Duo probably has a more electronic feel. We use a drum machine, so rhythmically it's more electronic, but at the same time it has a similar improvisational element as Wooden Shjips."
Their second album, Circles, was released last year, and sees them cheekily taking pop or rock'n'roll song structures and melodies and deconstructing them with drones and noodly synth bits.
The notion of rock'n'roll is still intact, it's just been slightly submerged in what feels like a dark swimming pool filled with flashing fluoro lights, an underwater nightclub, if you will. Bright, but fuzzy. They like to make people dance at their live shows, with a set-up that has Johnson on the drum machine, both playing keyboards and adding extra guitar elements.
"We do try. We use a lot of visuals [which are created by Yamada], try to get the room dark, and try to create an immersive type of atmosphere and, hopefully, that helps to transport people, so they don't feel like they're just standing in a bar, and they can kind of lose themselves in the music."
The album was written during an extended period high in the mountains of Colorado, where the duo moved from the coastal climate of San Francisco, which Johnson explains had an indelible effect on the overall sound.
"I thought when we moved up there that it would be easy to be really loud because we wouldn't have any neighbours, no one around to complain, but it actually ended up that it was so quiet in the mountains that you don't really want to disturb it. Instead of being really loud, you want to be really quiet, even quieter than in the city, because it's so nice. It's really quite beautiful.
"It's very cold, but the altitude we were at, it was sunny nearly all the time, and when it wasn't sunny, it was snowing, so it was sort of like living in a snow globe. Everything is white, and the air is so crisp and clear, it's almost surreal. So I think it came through on the album.
"I wrote a lot on acoustic guitar, so there's a lot of strummy songs, and it ended up being a very bright record sonically."
Johnson was alone there for a couple of weeks when Yamada went on a meditation retreat. He immersed himself in books, finding inspiration in an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson called Circles.
"I guess you end up looking inward a lot when you're left by yourself in the mountains, and that essay resonated with me, spending time in nature, and thinking about the seasons and the circular nature of existence, getting into all of that.
"So that was reflected in the lyrics - not so much the sound, because it sounds like rock'n'roll, but it was something that was in my mind at the time."
The pair have become skilled at creating their multi-layered sonic world, but Johnson admits it's still quite different to performing with a larger band.
"It is very different from playing in a band, where you don't have to shoulder all of the weight - if one of us makes a mistake or has a technical problem, that's half the band down, struggling with something, which can be a little nerve-wracking. But hopefully, as long as our gear is in working order, we usually don't find it too complicated. It keeps us on our toes, though."
Who: Moon Duo, the latest project from Wooden Shjips guitarist Ripley Johnson
When and where: Performing at the King Arms, Friday, March 1

2.25: Boyle's Law
Are you one of those people who can't resist popping the bubbles of bubble wrap? As annoying as it might be to the people around you, do you just love to squeeze those little plastic bubbles? Before the bubbles pop, the air pressing against the inside of the bubbles inflates them like tiny balloons. When you pop the bubbles, most of the air rushes out.
Pop Goes the Bubble!
What does popping bubble wrap have to do with science? Actually, it demonstrates an important scientific law, called Boyle's law. Like other laws in science, this law describes what always happens under certain conditions. Boyle's law is one of three well-known gas laws, which state the relationships among temperature, volume, and pressure of gases. (The other two gas laws are Charles' law and Amontons' law.) According to Boyle's law, if the temperature of a gas is held constant, then decreasing the volume of the gas increases its pressure—and vice versa. That's what happens when you squeeze the bubbles of bubble wrap. You decrease the bubbles' volume, so the air pressure inside the bubbles increases until they pop.
"Father" Boyle
Boyle's law is named for Robert Boyle, the English scientist who discovered this relationship between gas volume and pressure. Boyle based the law on his own controlled experiments. He published his results, along with detailed descriptions of his procedures and observations, in the 1660s. These steps were unheard of in his day. Mainly because of his careful research and the details he provided about it, Boyle has been called the "father of modern chemistry."
It's Crowded in Here
Imagine a container of gas molecules like the one in the Figure below. The container in the sketch has a lid that can be pushed down to shrink the volume of the gas inside. Notice what happens as the lid is lowered. The gas molecules crowd closer together because there is less space for them to occupy and they have nowhere else to go. Gas molecules have a lot of energy. They are always moving and bouncing off each other and anything else in their path. When gas molecules bump into things, it creates pressure. Pressure is greater when gas molecules occupy a smaller space, because the greater crowding results in more collisions. In other words, decreasing the volume of a gas increases its pressure. If you go to the URL below, you can watch a simulation of this.
You Go Up and I'll Go Down
As the volume of gas in the container pictured above gets smaller, the pressure of the gas molecules becomes greater. When two variables change in opposite directions like this, the variables have an inverse, or "upside-down," relationship.
Q: How could you show an inverse relationship with a graph? Sketch a graph to show what the relationship between gas volume and pressure might look like. Let the x-axis represent volume (V) and the y-axis represent pressure (P).
A: Did you sketch a graph like the one in the Figure below? Let's see why this graph is correct. Find the point on the line where volume is smallest. That's were pressure is highest. Then find the point where volume is largest. That's where pressure is lowest. Whenever you see a graph with this shape, it usually represents variables that have an inverse relationship, like gas volume and pressure.
- Boyle's law states that if the temperature of a gas is held constant, then decreasing the volume of the gas increases its pressure.
- When gas molecules bump into things, it creates pressure. Pressure is greater when gas molecules occupy a smaller space, because greater crowding results in more collisions. This explains why decreasing the volume of a gas increases its pressure.
- Boyle's law: Gas law stating that, if the temperature of a gas is held constant, increasing the volume of the gas decreases its pressure.
You can see for yourself that Boyle's law really works. At the following URL, simulate measuring the volume and pressure of two different gases. Use the graphing tool to make graphs of your data. Then answer the questions at the end of the activity to see how well you understand Boyle's law.
- State Boyle's law.
- Explain why the pressure of a gas increases when its volume decreases.
- Imagine blowing up a latex balloon like the one shown in the Figure below. Assume that you tie the balloon to prevent air from escaping and then squeeze the balloon with one hand, so there is less space inside it. Then assume you use both hands (and maybe a friend's hands) to squeeze the balloon so there is even less space inside. What do you think will happen to the balloon if you keep squeezing it to a smaller and smaller volume? Explain your prediction.

If they have half a brain in their heads (the politicians), they will pay attention to their constituents' concerns and stop calling them names just because they give voice to their concerns exactly to the person(s) who are supposed to take those views back to Washington with them.

Brian Baird is a former small college professor in a subject most of us do not feel reflects real world thinking. He stalked Linda Smith, the previous rep all over for 2 terms before finally beating her. Being a D in this state is generally the key to remaining the incumbent.
Linda Smith was quite capable & articulate. Her only drawback in the eyes of some voters, as a politico, was her RTL stance. She came long before Palin, but just as sharp. Would have made this state a good Governor.
Brian Baird is a joke!

The Film Studies, Graphic Design, Communication, and Journalism Departments are now housed in a building renovated specifically to nourish creative interaction between these disciplines.
The $3.3 million project rehabbed the 27,500 square feet of open space created when the old dining hall was gutted. The Burt Hill, Inc., design team emphasized open community spaces and a techy look that includes open ceilings, brightly colored panels alternating with black support beams, lots of glass, and an entry with plasma TVs and data projection displays of student work.
Film editing labs, a fully equipped television production studio, temperature-controlled film archives, and state-of-the-art writing and graphic design facilities are shared by all three programs. Students have been involved in all stages – providing input on furniture, designing the departmental logos that hang as banners on the building, and creating the art displayed on panels and projected by gobo lights in the entryway.

Since the inception of the DH in 1973 has their ever been a DH for a game after April with a lower avg/OB/Slug?
Had Harris not have started it is evident the Reds would have won, Dusty is the only one who does not understand the math of baseball.
Just watched the call where the ump ruled Santana was safe at second. RIDICULOUS. The runner was nowhere even close to being safe.
One more good reason to work the count instead of hacking away at every pitch you see:
"It was a grind front to back, and it was hot out there, " Arroyo said. "And Masterson was pitching so good, I found myself back out on the mound three minutes after I sat back down. … They just dominated us on both ends."
People say that in every baseball game you see something you never have been before. Not sure if that is true but I never thought I would see Willie Harris DHing. LOL.
