I've been studying recently for the MySQL certification test and have discovered a few tricks along the way. One of my favorites is the combination of using pager and vertical output.
To set your pager to use less:
mysql> pager less PAGER set to less
Now when you perform a select which returns more rows than rows on your screen, the pager will allow you to paginate through the results.
To get MySQL to display results vertically instead of in columns horizontally, end your SQL with "\G" instead of with the semicolon (or "\g")...

Senior wins first place with sociology paper
Posted July 30, 2001; 02:49 p.m.
The Association of Black Sociologists (ABS) has selected a paper by Princeton senior Sabrina Pendergrass for its first-place award in undergraduate research.
The selection recognizes superior scholarship and research in Pendergrass paper, "The Origins of Intraracial Skin Color Prejudice: A Critical Review."
Pendergrass, a sociology major, wrote the study as her junior paper. She submitted a shorter version for the ABS contest.
In her paper, she discussed the existing literature on intraracial skin color prejudice, expanded on past findings, and proposed new theories for the origins of such prejudice. "Intraracial skin color stratification occurs within a racial or ethnic group and when people of a certain skin tone are preferred because of their color," Pendergrass explained.
Pendergrass will attend the ABS annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif., Aug. 15-19, where the association will present her with the award.
Pendergrass said that she will continue to study sociology after graduation. "I plan to pursue a Ph.D. in sociology so that I can teach and do research," she said. "I had already planned this career choice before receiving the award so it doesn't change things too much. It's just great to have my first major piece of research recognized and makes me excited about the future."
ABS is a national professional organization of sociologists and social scientists, founded by women and men of African descent. ABS sponsors an annual competition for papers written by undergraduates, and another for graduate students.

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Jeff Goodwin
What good was having Specter's seat if his views/votes better reflected D positions? Seems like nothing lost.What did the Republicans do? They drummed Specter out of the party and lost a seat that they could have retained. Not too smart.
Specter was afraid that his constituency no longer believed he was the best man for the job. Maybe they're right? Once the Ds got Specter in their camp, he didn't get treated much better by them. It was good PR to have a high-profile guy change affiliation, but it doesn't appear that the "machine" will give him much support if there is a viable up-and-comer they think is a better vote-getter.
I think that Specter's party change lost him both R and D votes.
Sorry, I can't get over his remark that he wouldn't let the voters stand in the way of his career. Excu-u-u-se me? A 36-year career seems like it might be enough already, if he has come to think he is "entitled" to be more important than his constituents.

Princeton Summer Theater opens its 2010 season with a production of "The Heidi Chronicles," Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about one woman's struggle to have it all. Heidi Holland (2010 Princeton graduate Becca Foresman) returns to her old high school to speak on the topic of "Women, Where Are We Going?" as she grapples with the quandary of juggling career, family and equality for women.
Heidi tries to reconnect with her estranged best friend, Peter Patrone (Tyler Weaks, a student at Brown University's graduate program in theater), repeating what he told her 20 years ago, "I want to know you all my life."

Summer theater season offers drama and laughs through Aug. 15
Posted June 24, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton Summer Theater opens its 2010 season with a production of Wendy Wasserstein's "The Heidi Chronicles," the Pulitzer Prize-winning play about one woman's journey through love and loss and a generation's coming of age.
The show will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, June 24-26, and at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 26-27, at the Hamilton Murray Theater on campus.
Princeton Summer Theater, which has been student-run since 1968, is a summer stock company of young professionals and students from Princeton and other colleges interested in pursuing careers in theater and drama.
Heidi's on-again, off-again beau, the arrogant but irresistible Scoop Rosenbaum (2010 Princeton graduate Shawn Fennell), marries Lisa (2010 Princeton graduate Heather May).
Heidi Holland wants it all: a career, a family and equality for women ... or does she? "The Heidi Chronicles" spans Heidi's teenage years in the 1960s to her middle age in the late 1980s, and her story encapsulates the dreams, disappointments and most embarrassing moments of a generation of Americans.
Heidi is portrayed by Becca Foresman; her first love, Scoop Rosenbaum, is played by Shawn Fennell. Both actors graduated from Princeton this month. The production will be directed by Robert Sandberg, a lecturer in English, theater and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton.
Other mainstage shows this year will be:
- "The Turn of the Screw," an adaptation of the Henry James classic by Jeffrey Hatcher, July 1-4 and July 8-11.
- "Misalliance" by George Bernard Shaw, July 15-18, 22-25 and July 29-Aug. 1.
- "Fifth of July" by Lanford Wilson, Aug. 5-8, 12-15.
In graduate school, Heidi and her friends bond over a song by Aretha Franklin, demanding "Respect" from men and the culture at large.
Show times are 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays.
For all evening shows and Sunday matinees, tickets are $20 for general admission, and $16 for senior citizens and students. For Saturday matinees, tickets are $16 for general admission and students, and $14 for senior citizens. For Saturday matinees, students from Princeton and other institutions can present a student ID to receive a free ticket with the purchase of a ticket. Season subscriptions are available until June 26.
Heidi and Peter dance as they reminisce about two decades of friendship, during which they weathered each others' romances, moves and losses, as well as society's political upheaval.
Princeton Summer Theater also will present a new adaptation of the classic children's tale, "Peter Pan," at 11 a.m. July 1-3, 8-10, 22-24 and 29-31. Children under 3 are admitted free; tickets for all others are $6.
In addition, a series of Friday workshops for children ages 5-12 begins July 2 and runs weekly from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The cost is $30 per workshop or $120 for all six.
For more about the performances or to make reservations, call (609) 258-7062 or visit the theater's website.

after surveying all the micro machines in my collection (ok, masons collection), i'v decided that the vehicle i'd most like to take on a warm sunny sunday afternoon jaunt through the country side would have to be the die cast gian speeder.
this thing is built for top down, sun on your face, wind in your hair fun. the super sweet matalic purple paint job is sure to turn a head or two as you zip past small towns, and farmland on the journey.
the nifty design of the engines tucked into the rear quarter, away from the pasanger seating, ensures that your trip will not only be a smooth repluser glide, but also a quiet one. not like the noise one would be subjected to in iether the flash, or heaven forbid, luke's noisy 727 jet engine job!
plus, the design and palcement of the three blaster cannons (just in case you're needing more than a friendly smile from a jackson or two to tawk your way outta speeding ticket) is way more stylin' than either the mm or af versions.
yep, that'd be my ride choice fer sure!

I have included a picture of the screenshot from the trailer to prove that that person is the young Boba Fett:
Why do I believe its boba Fett:
1: Both the select picture and the screenshot have a zipper in the same place, not only that but the same style vest,Dark blue clothes with a light coloured vest over the top of it,seen in the 3 pictures on the right.
2. The eyebrow is basicly the same in both end pictures
3. Both the skirt and belt are in the same place indicated where indicated
4. In the cartoon picture we can see the back of Bobas head,he is of course wearing a helmet which you can see 2 lumps on both sides and the top which of coarse is the same as the screenshot picture from the trailer.
If this doesn't prove that its Boba Fett I don't know what will!!!

Microsoft's ill-chosen magic constants
Paolo Bonzini noticed something a little awkward in the Linux kernel support code for Microsoft's HyperV virtualisation environment - specifically, that the magic constant passed through to the hypervisor was "0xB16B00B5", or, in English, "BIG BOOBS". It turns out that this isn't an exception - when the code was originally submitted it also contained "0x0B00B135". That one got removed when the Xen support code was ripped out.
At the most basic level it's just straightforward childish humour, and the use of vaguely-English strings in magic hex constants is hardly uncommon. But it's also specifically male childish humour. Puerile sniggering at breasts contributes to the continuing impression that software development is a boys club where girls aren't welcome. It's especially irritating in this case because Azure may depend on this constant, so changing it will break things.
So, full marks, Microsoft. You've managed to make the kernel more offensive to half the population and you've made it awkward for us to rectify it.

I know that re-writing existing code is useless. But I don't mind to re-write some code, I want to learn how it's done.
I want to make a 3D polygon and draw it in C++, without using DirectX or OpenGL.
I've been looking around after source codes or tutorials but haven't found a single tutorial that helps me.
Very simple example of what I want to do:
m_Polygon = new Polygon(vertex1, vertex2, vertex3, vertex4); // where the vertexes have a X,Y,Z m_Polygon->Draw();
So I want to draw the 3D polygon in my 2D screen. Can someone help me with this.
Thank you and kind regards,

Atlantic Salmon spawning in our rivers
Remember back in the mid 90s when we were seeing large #s of Atlantics being caught by anglers in the Elwah, Skagit, Skykomish, and other Washington rivers? And we were told, "Don't worry, they're sterile and can't survive in the wild" by the Aquaculturists?
Well, I just read an Associate Press article printed in the Downrigger (monthly bulletin of the Edmonds Salmon chapter of Trout Unlimited) entitled "Farmed Salmon found spawning in BC streams".
It confirmed the approximately 43,000 salmon escape BC pens each year and that in the first nine months of 2000 between 32,000 and 86,000 escaped their pens. That both scientists and aquaculturists admit that "Atlantic Salmon are present in a number of BC salmon-spawning streams at all life history stages" and ~are~ spawning successfully.
Of course, Don Noakes (head of aquaculture at the Federal Fisheries Dept) counters that "all the information we've had and all the studies we've seen (indicate) there is low environmental risk to the salmon in BC".
So there . . . doesn't that make you feel better!
I'm just thrilled.
This is truly deplorable. There should be a risk of total financial ruin for farming operations who allow escapement. We put men on the moon, but we can't keep a fish in a net. The reality is that we simply won't, because it costs more money to make the nets reliable.
I've been working on a farmed fish article...
did you know:
[#]farmed salmon is colored with xantaxanthan (sp?) a pigment derived from crustaceans and flavored with ferol bromide to make it more 'savory' - thus can be considered artificially colored and flavored[#]the effluent created by an average salmon farm equals that of 40,000 humans[#]triploid claims have been found to be untrue as indicated in Brian's report[#]evidence has been found that hybridization is possible at a university in Vancouver[#]nearly a million tons of sand eels are harvested for use primarily in fish farms from the north sea alone per year? This has caused the collapse of groundfish, seabirds, and even impacted the whale population in the region[#]it's one of the fastest growing industries[#]they are farmed all over the world and are showing up in rivers on both oceans[#]Alaska has outlawed aquaculture[#]regulations are abysmally loose[#]even atlantic salmon populations are at risk from these domesticated clones[#]the reason people use this strain is that they have been mutated genetically over 30 years from the original Norwegian strain and if wild salmon were raised in existing salmon farms they would never survive[#]one of the highest risks stems from an explosion of sea lice populations attributable to fish farming itself as the cause...
I could go on and on but I just gave away the article! }>
Do you know where I could get a copy of this article? Thanks!!!
Slowly farmed salmon are pushing commercial fishers such as seiners, gillnetters, trollers etc. out of the business. The price of commercial caught salmon drops every year. This summer it was not economically smart to fish the Bristol Bay sockeye run. I guess, what I am trying to say (ask), what is the lesser evil?...salmon aquaculture or commercial salmon fisheries?
The amount of waste produced by salmon farms is astronomical, these along with other problems are lesser fears then hybridization or natural reproduction of Atlantic's in our waters. We were told not to worry about reproduction in our river systems because so many past experiments had failed and failed miserably (most notablly the project on the Cowichan River many years back). If the article that Brian mentions is based totally upon fact, it just goes and shows how LITTLE we know. :(
It is not a question of which is the lesser evil. Both commercial fishing and farming are threats. Salmon farms are poised to be a huge threat to native stocks. Steelhead could be specifically hit hard. In rivers where steelhead are already in decline the added competition for spawning grounds and food sources could be the straw that breaks the camels back. Atlantic salmon are more aggressive as adults and the smolt mature faster. These two characteristics alone could spell doom for native steelhead and salmon.
You are correct that salmon farms have hurt the commercial fishing industry. The commercials led the fight to ban farming in Alaska and they may lead the fight down here to regulate Aquaculture. The farms were not stopped up north for ecological reasons or to protect native fish. They were banned to protect commercial fishing.

OK, the signs went up at my Target yesterday.
I talked with the Toys Team Leader. He was nice while he was lying through his teeth. We talked for a while, too. But I caught him not being truthful with me.
First, he said to continue coming in the morning - they stock overnight. "Stock" is a technical term. There is also "Replenish," which they do periodically throughout the day. As it turns out, Star Wars is not STOCKED, it is REPLENISHED - after the morning collector crowd disappears. I went at store opening yesterday and walked away with nothing. I went again a few hours later, and they had the ships and figures (Wave 1 though). So they were REPLENISHED after our morning group left.
They also had the rainchecks out. I took one each for my V-wings. I intend to get the discount. I don't really care too much about the whole $5-6 I'll save between two of them by going through at a lower price. But I care about being "paid" for my time listening to the Team Leader's lies.
I heard him brush on the subject that "if they put them out in the morning, it's an issue because the 'collectors' would buy out their whole inventory and when Moms & Kids came in, they'd have nothing. Thus they're purposely trying to hold stock for their normal hours customers - that's why I find them during the day. It is still playing games AGAINST your loyal customers who are the collectors if no one else.
Anyway, the issue is also that there's no way to perfectly determine sales. They could order too much and if the Infiltrator starts to sit, you get the picture. If they sell through their item (possibly all to one scalper / fleet building collector - as many of us would take 2 v-wings), they can't get their stock re-ordered fast enough.
But they're in business to make money. However, I can see how later-in-the-day tickets would be larger (people buying shampoo, clothes, and cookiees while the ship is an impulse buy). I don't know what the answer is. However, I got the rainchecks and it is my intention to visit the same Target at least twice more today. After I'm done with Wave 2 (and I might just find the Galactic Heroes I'm missing) and I get the ships at the lower price, I won't have any reason to go toy shopping for a long while:
Future purchases:
Star Trek - at Comic Con, or it can be e-ordered
Terminator - nothing
Transformers - nothing (I'm not going for the movie junk when that hits. I have the Alts)
Star Wars - wave 3, SideShow Bubo (not in stores), New Galactic Heroes (non-priority)
So I barely buy new toys. I just don't like to be jerked around when I do!

A deciduous shrub that is native to western Asia and northern Europe, the Ribes Nigrum is also known as Black Currant or Quinsy Berries. Preferring mild climates, this shrub typically grows between two and six feet in height, given the proper growing environment. It requires dirt that is well drained, so it prefers sandy, loamy, or clay-like soils. Although the Black Currant plant needs moist soil in which to grow, it does well in both full sun and partial shade environments. It is rather hardy in nature, is not sensitive to frost, and is naturalized in North America at this point in time.
It is a perennial plant that features woody branches and dark green leaves that are spotted on the underside. The leaves, which have jagged edges, often appear in pairs or small groups. The Ribes Nigrum begins to produce small bunches of flowers in the early spring months of April and May. The flowers, which are greenish white in coloring, contain both female and male organs. Once pollinated, the flowers begin to produce small berries that are deep purple, green, or white in coloring. The fruit is quite small, although larger fruits have been seen.
Both the leaves and fruit of the Ribes Nigrum are edible. The fruit offers a rich, aromatic taste and can be eaten raw. However, it is more commonly cooked in recipes for jams, jellies, pies, and breads. Although these products are not as popular as they were long ago, black currants are used to make wine, brandy, or cordials. Today, they are included in non-alcoholic drinks as well. The leaves can be used either to flavor soup or to brew tea. Ribes Nigrum leaves are commonly included in certain varieties of blended teas rather than being used solo. Dyes are also made from the Ribes Nigrum shrub - bluish violet from the fruit and yellow from the leaves.
The Ribes Nigrum has earned itself a reputation derived from its use for therapeutic capabilities. Herbalists use Black Currant to treat a variety of medical issues including diarrhea, arthritis, gout, severe coughing, rheumatism, kidney stones, liver disorders, and urinary issues. It has also been used as a diuretic for the elimination of fluids, and it is thought to aid in strengthening the body's resistance to the common cold, flu, and certain types of infectious diseases.
In the past, it has been used to minimize inflammation, particularly of the tonsils. Today, certain varieties of throat lozenges contain black currant in their recipes. According to a study published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Nine north Mississippi residents claim an Illinois-based insurance company tricked them into turning old policies into new ones, which cost them cash value, policy riders and lower death benefits.
They also say Modern Woodmen of America is still doing the same to other customers.
The nine – including seven from Northeast Mississippi – filed suit this week in federal court, insisting the insurance company conspired to improve profits by hurting them and continues to train its agents to trick "orphan" policyholders, who are existing policyholders without an assigned agent.
Woodman has not responded to the allegations.
Plaintiffs are Larry R. Bonds of Burnsville, Thomas C. Morrison and Joyce P. Morrison of Ripley, Margie P. Renick of Tupelo, Larry D. Cobb and Janice Cobb of New Albany, Steven R. Cook of Hickory Flat on behalf of his deceased wife Mary Cook, and Elsie P. Shaw and Herman W. Shaw of Coffeeville.
They're suing Woodmen, three of its executives and a new-applications processing coordinator, and asking for actual and treble punitive damages, and costs plus interest.
They're also seeking to gain class-action status and be joined by anyone else who claims similar grievances against Woodmen.
The 46-page complaint also claims the nine did not discover their "injury" until 2012, although they say the alleged illegal activity started at least in 2005.
They say a Woodmen whistleblower provided information to them as the basis of their claims, including mail/wire fraud and money laundering.

Yes. Although "students" are designated in statute as the intended beneficiaries of the program, the Department believes that younger children who will become students in the schools being served can also participate in program activities designed to get them ready to succeed in school.
However, activities targeting pre-kindergarten children and adult family members may take place during regular school hours, as these times may be the most suitable for serving these populations.

Advanced to Pro :
A fantastic "do it all" board in the waves: rewarding and easily attainable performance across a huge range of users and in an equally massive range of conditions.
At A GLANCE
• Carbon/wood construction with a light finish
The Evo planes relatively early and accelerates up to speed easily, concaves in the hull working effectively and efficiently. The board settles at a controlled pace with the rider composed and ready for straight line blasting, jumping, riding or gybing. The Starboard feels good underfoot and comfortable when up to speed, sailing with good deckpads and footstraps. The Evo jumps well, taking off easily and feeling floaty yet controlled in the air. When the wind picks up and sea state gets rougher, the board remains exceptionally composed, allowing the rider to focus on what they are doing or what they are going to do next!
In turns:
The Evo caters for a wide range of gybers, as it is very forgiving and easy to carve, yet also enjoys being driven in harder by the more experienced. A flat deck and width around the mast foot allow for easy tacking.
In waves:
The Starboard is a very good all rounder: from providing an easy platform to take out on mushy onshore days, through to performing tight arcs and good cutbacks in down the line conditions for more advanced sailors. This is the do everything board: onshore to side shore, clean waves to mush, backside or frontside riding and first timer through to seasoned expert looking for a little more volume, but not loss of easy performance.
(+) Good construction and fittings, the Evo is easy to sail, applicable for an immense user range in just as big a range of conditions.
(–) Really not much to fault, but more experienced wave sailors looking for greater radical performance might find the Kode 80 or Evil Twin 80 a little more to their taste.

I'm not a mod, but I would consider that Spam. How is Ellerbe a bust when he has yet to play a down for us? You are jumping the gun.
And my question was rhetorical, i'm not looking for your explanation. If I was, I would have clicked that silly thread you made.
I'm not sold yet. Undrafted free agent making that kind of money based on a few games towards the end of the season, hmmmm. Not gonna right him off as a bust yet, but got a lot to prove in my book.
Probably got moved to the trash were it belonged. Could have been backed by stats in games where ray Lewis played with and without ellerbe.
No one knows what will happen. Maybe Wallace is the bust? Better to wait before judging anyone. But the OP has every right in the world to have an opinion. We all have them, even if we are wrong.
There's a credibility issue as to the OPs agenda coming out of nowhere this month to start this thread. I've long advocated that thread starting privileges should be both earned and revoked based on criteria including length of membership, number of posts and nature of reputation. An Ellerbe critique of this nature would resonate more credibly, even if most took issue, if it had originated from someone who we're familiar with who's proven his impartiality IMO.
I didn't make the thread, and have no idea if Ellerbe will be a bust or not. It's just a shame to see this site turn into an either go with the group or get out site.
Yea, that's pretty sad. The guy thought it out and had examples of Raven defensive player busts who were in the exact same situation as Ellerbe this year. I feel like he was wronged, so....He had LBs and DEs (Adalius Thomas, Bart Scott, Ed Hartwell, Anthony Weaver, Jarrett Johnson) and I think it holds true for DBs as well: Dawan Landry, Nakamura, Zbikowski. Defensive guys who have left Baltimore recently haven't performed to the same degree.
If you can post how much you like a deal, why can't you post that you doubt it?
Well to be fair, FA's and draft picks get lauded as steals, impact players and huge assets without having played a down for us all the time. This is no indication of how i think Ellerbe will turn out, i have no idea, but their does tend to be a bit of a double standard at times.

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 , 1:47 PM GMT on July 19, 2007
There are no areas of interest to talk about in the tropical Atlantic today, but we will need to watch the waters off the Carolina coast on Saturday when a cold front is expected to push off the coast. The tail end of this front could serve as the focus for development of a tropical disturbance. The UKMET model is forecasting the development of a low pressure system here on Sunday. This low may be an ordinary extratropical storm, though, due to the presence of high wind shear.
Large amounts of dry air and African dust cover the eastern Atlantic, and this dusty air is moving westward towards the Caribbean. Tropical storm development is unlikely in this region for the coming five days. Thereafter, as a major shift in the Northern Hemisphere weather pattern puts a ridge of high pressure in place over the Eastern U.S., the Saharan dust outbreaks may decrease. Additionally, wind shear over the tropical Atlantic is expected to decrease substantially by next week, and chances of tropical storm formation are much higher next week than they were this week.
Hawaii eyes Cosme
Residents of the Hawaiian Islands need to keep an eye on Tropical Depression Cosme, which is headed towards the islands and may impact their weather by Saturday. Cosme is struggling with 10-20 knots of wind shear and ocean temperatures of about 25 degrees C. Satellite imagery of the storm shows that the amount of heavy thunderstorm activity has decreased some this morning, and it is possible that the unfavorable shear and SSTs will kill the depression before it encounters warmer waters and lower shear on Friday. If Cosme does survive the next 24 hours, it could re-intensify to a weak tropical storm and brush the Big Island of Hawaii on Saturday.
Figure 1. Sea Surface temperatures beneath Cosme were about 25 C (78 F), just below the 26 C threshold favorable for tropical cyclones. Cosme will be traversing a region of 24-25 C SSTs through Friday, then SSTs will warm to 25-26 as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands on Saturday.
More on the National Hurricane Center controversy
In an article published in the Houston Chronicle yesterday, senior hurricane specialist James Franklin said that employees of the center were not coerced by NOAA management into signing the July 5 letter of no confidence against director Bill Proenza. This view was echoed by NHC's top administrator in an Orlando Sentinel article. Franklin outlined a variety of reasons why the staff lost confidence in Proenza--Proenza lacked experience in hurricane forecasting and showed little interest in learning the science, ignored his employees to the tune of 2000 unread email from them, and lied to the press about his employees' reaction to his reprimand from NWS chief Mary Glackin.
Also in the Houston Chronicle story is the revelation that Proenza never applied for the position of director of NHC. He was demoted into it, according to Daniel Sobien, president of the National Weather Service Employees Organization. This raises the question, who put Proenza into the job? Why did they do it? Hopefully, this will get answered at today's congressional hearing. The list of people testifying include Bill Proenza; QuikSCAT expert Dr. Robert Atlas; emergency management officials who worked with Proenza; and the head of NOAA, Admiral Lautenbacher. With the exception of Lautenbacher, all these witnesses are likely to be allies of Proenza. Also testifying will be Dr. Jim Turner, deputy director of the federal agency NTIS (National Technical Information Service), who led the inspection team that showed up at NHC without notice on July 2. Dr. Turner's report was scheduled to be completed this Friday, July 20, but is now scheduled to be released to the Congressional panel today. Notably absent from the list of people called to testify is anyone from the National Hurricane Center. Also absent is a QuikSCAT science expert besides Dr. Atlas, who has thus far not addressed in his public comments, that I have seen, the very high uncertainties surrounding the impact of QuikSCAT data on track forecasts of landfalling hurricanes. In fact, in comments published in the Orlando Sentinel, Dr. Atlas claimed that Proenza's statement that loss of the loss of QuikSCAT could reduce the accuracy of hurricane-track forecasts by as much as 16 percent represents "the consensus of the scientific community." Well, that is not the case, as myself and senior hurricane specialists at the National Hurricane Center will attest to. I'll be sure to present a full analysis of the science presented--and the science left unsaid--at today's hearing.
The hearing charter for today's hearing raises these questions:
Why was Proenza chosen to be Director of the highest profiled Center at NOAA?
Beyond the items listed in the Glackin memorandum--which NOAA stresses was not a reprimand document and was not placed in Mr. Proenza's personnel file--are there any other actions that better justify the action to place Proenza on leave?
Why was there such a depth of dissatisfaction over Proenza's focus on a particular satellite?
What is needed to properly equip the Tropical Prediction Center, and are those resources available at this time?
Was the Tropical Prediction Center incapable of carrying out its core task of identifying, tracking and predicting hurricanes before the evaluation team was dispatched by Admiral Lautenbacher?

You cannot tell it's plastic or that it's not a real door. Very pleased with it so far. I'm curious to see how it stands up to Washington weather and car washes!

Once the pollen grain lodges on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain to an ovule. Two sperm nuclei then pass through the pollen tube. One of them unites with the egg nucleus and produces a zygote. The other sperm nucleus unites with two polar nuclei to produce an endosperm nucleus. The fertilized ovule develops into a seed.

More Discussion on Richmond Lagoon Project Expected
Posted By News On @ 6:25 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Continued discussion on the situation in Richmond is expected at Tuesday's Washington County board meeting. The supervisors will possibly set a time and date for the public work session on the topic, and discuss the legal alternatives to the proposed lagoon project. In addition, a bid letting date will be established for a road improvement project and the supervisors will consider the Compensation Board's salary recommendations from December.'
According to county auditor Dan Widmer, the rest of the week has been reserved for budget work sessions, where they'll set up departmental budgets for the fiscal year.

The new Red Bull Storm Chase Best Of Action video has been released! It's 4:28 minutes of insanity with unreal conditions and sailing from all of the riders. Thomas Traversa's 360, Brawzinho's goiter, Robby Swift's pushloop-into-forward, Dany Bruch's stratospheric late forwards are all in there, as well as some impressive jumps and crashes from Boujmaa. All and all, it just looks furiously apocalyptic out there!
Unfortunately, only 6 riders made it through the cut: Thomas Traversa, Daniel Bruch, Julien Taboulet, Victor Fernandez, Marcilio Browne and Robby Swift. Despite putting on an amazing show, Boujmaa Guilloul will not compete in the next mission. However, we were able to get a few words from Dany Bruch, who's made his way back home from Ireland. Here's what he had to say about the event and his immediate future:
Starboard: Congratulations for being one of the 6 surviving Storm Chasers! How was it?
Daniel Bruch: It was gnarly... I never expected to have so much wind! This was by far the windiest I have ever sailed in!
Starboard: What were the conditions like? What were you sailing on and why did you chose that setup?
Daniel Bruch: It was windy, really windy...There were gusts up to 76 knots...incredible! And waves up to mast and half high! I was sailing on my 3.7 Severne Blade and on the Starboard Quad 74. I knew that the board could handle the chaos as I sailed totally overpowered with my 4.2 on it just a few days before the Storm Chase and it worked awesome. The sail was quite big, but to be honest, when the gusts would hit you, any sail size was too much! I might get a 3.3 for the next mission... Just in case!
Starboard: From Black Box conditions to Storm Chasing conditions, there's quite a big difference. Which one do you prefer?
Daniel Bruch: Hehehe... To be honest, I prefer lighter winds and waves to ride better than conditions were you're hoping to survive...! But when you have to go for it, you go!
Starboard: How do you train for such conditions? How hard is it to land a simple backloop or forward with this kind of wind?
Daniel Bruch: I don't think there is any special way to train for this except sailing in these kind of conditions. I had lots of windy days in my life with maybe 50 knots and that experience helped for sure. But yeah... a simple high jump was hard to land, so imagine a backy or a forward...!
Starboard: You weight around 90kg while Thomas Traversa is about 60 yet both of you performed very well. How do you think that is?
Daniel Bruch: I definitely had an advantage with some extra kilos on me! Hehehe. But its amazing how Thomas could handle his 3.3 just as well or better than I could handle my 3.7... This is, once again, a perfect example that windsurfing is not only about strength, technique helps the most.
Starboard: If you could chose, where would you like to go for the second Red Bull Storm Chase mission?
Daniel Bruch: I would love to go to Tazzy (Tasmania)! I was super keen to go when the first alert came up and I was bummed that it could not be... I am hoping for this one!
Starboard: Philip Köster is out due to an ankle injury. Do you feel like it would have been different with him competing?
Daniel Bruch: Philip definitely would have put on a great show, it's a pity that he hurt himself... I would have loved to have him with us.
Starboard: You've got 6 months before the start of the PWA, what are your plans and goals for this year?
Daniel Bruch: I've got loads of things to do on my schedule... Training to avoid injuries is always the main thing and then there's loads of sailing and some trips here and there, working on some new prototypes for 2015 that are already working insanely well, organizing the PWA event here at home, 5 clinics... etc. My main goal is to improve my 5th place overall on the Wave Tour and with 2 new events on the calendar, it will be a sick year for sure! I'm really looking forward to it!
Where have you been? You haven't seen the first Highlights video yet?! Make sure you check it out below...

Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used for the treatment of
high blood pressure.
In studies, the medication lowered both systolic and diastolic levels (the two values that make up a blood pressure reading).
Angiotensin II is a chemical in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Olmesartan lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of this chemical. There are many other angiotensin II receptor blockers available, such as irbesartan
and losartan.
Olmesartan can be taken alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. Most people may need to take a combination of drugs. This may mean taking olmesartan with a thiazide (diuretic) medication to achieve target blood pressure.
Olmesartan is taken once a day as an oral tablet. Doses of 20 milligrams (mg) or 40 mg per day may be the most effective for treating high blood pressure.
Olmesartan is used for for children (aged 6-16 years) and adults who have high blood pressure.
Most people tolerate olmesartan well. Common side effects may include:
Two studies found a possible increased risk of death from heart attack or stroke in people with type 2 diabetes who took olmesartan. In 2011, the FDA reviewed these results and concluded that the benefits of taking olmesartan outweigh the possible risks for the treatment of high blood pressure. If you have any concerns about taking olmesartan, talk to your doctor about them.
High blood pressure, one of the most common conditions in the US, is especially dangerous because it rarely produces symptoms and, if not treated, can lead to heart attack, stroke, and
kidney failure. The positive news is that high blood pressure can often be controlled by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking medications. If you are having difficulty controlling your blood pressure with lifestyle changes, talk to your doctor about what types of medications are available. Depending on your overall health and the presence of other diseases, and response to other blood-pressure medications olmesartan may be recommended for you.

Pingo is Now in Production
The new ARSC Cray XT5, Pingo, went into production on Thursday, January 8th, 2009. Documentation for Pingo is available on the ARSC website.
Common Wisdom and Modular Programming
[ By Lee Higbie ]
Many programs are still written in Fortran 77 with constructs that are relatively difficult to maintain compared to those available in Fortran 90/95. This article encourages you to take advantage of some of the newer constructs to improve the software engineering of your Fortran. I will describe modules and how they lead to more understandable and safer code than common blocks.
Some Terminology
The "heap" is a section of memory that is managed separately from other system memory and, for most HPC machines and all ARSC machines, is the memory with the largest addresses. Statically allocated data and instructions are limited to the first 2 GB of address space by default for the AMD x86_64 architecture. This is known as the small mcmodel, the McModel, I guess. Currently Pingo and Ognip only support this small memory model, which is insufficient for very large programs. One way for Fortran codes to take advantage of the great wasteland of memory with large addresses, is to dynamically allocate memory. All allocated data are on the heap, starting at the largest available address and working down toward 2G.
I use the non-standard term "parameters" for the items in a call or function statement and "arguments" for those in the subroutine or function statement itself. You give parameters (to your children) and get arguments (from your parent).
Out with the Old
So, you have a program, maybe old maybe new, maybe it looks nice with nice structure, no goto statements and free format text and using features that were not in the standard until Fortran 90/95, but it may not be a Fortran 90/95 program. In my terminology, a program is not Fortran 90/95 if it or any of its subroutines use any of the following:
- fixed form or column-oriented source code
- common blocks
- data statements
- multiple declarations statements applying to a single variable
- statement functions
This list is hardly comprehensive. It includes some common Fortran 77 structures that I think should be banned.
First a description of modules for Fortran 77 users. Conceptually the data part of modules is like common that is referenced by name instead of location. Referencing by name means that the name is the same in all parts of the program and there are no aliases for the data it references.
In addition to providing program-wide names that refer to specific arrays, for example, modules allow you to
- Describe all the characteristics of the data in one place (type, rank, volatility, ...).
- Select only those data items you want (without a dummy variable to skip over them, as you need in common).
The Fortran standards groups have tried to make modules more like OO objects with functions and subroutines allowed in the module. One important consequence of putting subprogames in modules is that compilers verify that parameter lists match argument lists, so some of the most common interface problems will be caught by the compiler.
Compilers have to check parameter type and shape because of subroutine and function name overloading. (Several similar subprograms can have the same name but have different type or shape of arguments.)
Suppose, probably for reasons of saving memory space, a legacy program uses the same memory locations for two arrays. In Fortran 77, it might have:
double precision absTmp (lonDm, latDm, hgtDm) common /tempbl/ absTmp ! uses 8 * (lonDm * latDm * hgtDm) bytesand in the output routines
real celTmp (lonDm, latDm, hgtDm), fahTmp (lonDm, latDm, hgtDm) common /tempbl/ celTmp, fahTmp ! uses 4 * (lonDm * latDm * hgtDm + lonDm * latDm * hgtDm) bytes, the same as before
The problems I see with this approach are the compiler has no way to verify much of anything about any of the temperature variables. If a new programmer sees one of these variables and tries to use it at a time when the data in it are the other type, it will most assuredly lead to interesting results. Also, bizarre outcome is likely if the relative memory allocation of the two data types varies, as can happen when porting to a new machine. If the declarations are not inserted by an include statement, then all sorts of other mistakes that the compiler cannot detect are likely.
In with the New
In Fortran 90/95, one might write something like:
module temperatureData real (kind = 8), allocatable, dimension(:, :, :) :: absTemperature real (kind = 4), allocatable, dimension(:, :, :) :: celsTemperature, & fahrTemperature ..... functions relating to temperatures .... end module temperatureData
Notice here that the longer names are self-descriptive. There is much less chance of a new programming team member thinking celsTemperature is a cell-temporary variable (as with the F77 celTemp), improving safety.
With the module you need to
allocate (absTemperature (longitudeDim, latitudeDim, heightDim) ) ... deallocate (absTemperature)
allocate (celsTemperature (longitudeDim, latitudeDim, heightDim), & fahrTemperature (longitudeDim, latitudeDim, heightDim) ) .... deallocate (celsTemperature, fahrTemperature)
With this structure, an attempt to use data when it is not allocated will generate a trap.
Summarizing, if your programs include common, you should start a project to rewrite them to use modules instead. Fortran modules provide the data sharing visibility of common blocks, but in a manner that provides for much more maintainable and safer code, and they provide other features that improve code clarity.
Resolving Linker Errors - Part IV
[ By Don Bahls ]
Modern compilers often hide gory linking details from the user. Under normal circumstances you wouldn't want to see everything the compiler is doing, but on occasion it can be useful to know what the compiler (or linker) is doing under the covers.
Most compilers have a verbose option (e.g. "-v") that will display libraries that are being using under-the-covers.
Here are a few instances where I've found the verbose option to be useful:
Determining which libraries the compiler is using by default. e.g.
pingo5 % cc -v /opt/xt-asyncpe/1.0c/bin/cc: INFO: linux target is being used /usr/bin/ld /usr/lib64/crt1.o ... -lsci_quadcore -lsci -lsma \ -lmpichf90 -lmpich -lrt ...This might help you determine which BLAS, or other library the compiler is using on your behalf.
- Determining which libraries should be used when linking a mixed language application (e.g. Fortran and C). Oftentimes the Fortran compiler may have library dependencies that aren't included by the C compiler. The verbose option can be a handy starting point if you don't have compiler documentation right in front of you.
- Determining the order that libraries appear when passed to ld. For most, if not all compilers, the order in which libraries appear on the command line is important. For example on the Cray XT5, the PGI libsci library has unresolved symbols which are present in the PGI Fortran libraries, so the Fortran libraries need to appear after libsci so that they symbols can be resolved. The verbose flag can show the order that libraries are passed to ld.

Swirl Illusion is the Trend of the Moment
Add aesthetically-focused dimension to your classic black dress with the luxe details of illusion (you know that little chic element that gives off more skin revealing properties, while keeping it tasteful and classy) AND a swirl-like pattern with added hints of sparkle.
Uniquely divine, to say the least. And to pump up the volume in high-end power dressing, why not add a personal pair of matching nail art to the mix. For this, we always seem drawn to PShiiit and her inspiring works of art (seriously, it's not just a great manicure, it's considered skillfully crafted art). And for those with genetically-blessed curves, a look like this will surely stand out from the crowd. Features of evening dress make it perfect for prom or high-profiled event. The beaded swirl chest combines with a sweetheart neckline combined with soft jersey fabric, a sultry side slit and intricately beaded illusion back. It's quite splendid. By finishing off the look with the right accessories, you're well on your way to head-turning, envy-driven style.

Keeping the wight off - weighed in at 180 yesterday, a sight better then 240 back in 2003.
Just loaded the top-secret eval version of Project David from SpecOps Labs in the Philippines. This thing is going to scare the shit out of Microsoft - it even had me looking over my shoulders. To start with, it runs Office XP Professional at least 60% faster then when I'm booted into XP itself. I mean, it was like BAM! It's up. There wasn't a single app I tried - IE 6.0, Powerpoint, Photoshop and games that the thing didn't run incredibly well. Actually, I wouldn't mind being able to throttle it back a bit. What amazed me more then anything was it's ability to run Microsoft Windows Server backoffice stuff like MS SQL Server. I'm convinced that their "Alpha" code designation means you can't print with it - cause that and USB devices were the only things I couldn't get working. It still needs some serious polishing - however, they do deliver on the ability to simply insert any Windows app CD, install and run it right off the Linux desktop. Much easier to use then straight-up Wine (there is some Wine in it) and much better integrated then the other Win on Lin offerings.
I'll be in Boston at Linuxworld hanging around the Linuxcare (Levanta) booth. I'd welcome the opportunity to see old friends if you're at the show. We'll even be running a Sputnik AP in the booth - levanta levanta... ;)
Lastly, thinking a lot about the LSB lately. I'd love to hear your opinions on 2.0, the upcoming 3.0 and ways the LSB could be more effective. I'm just diving into it - so feel free to educate me (kindly please).
In other news, I've lost 60 lbs since November 1st! No fad diet, no Atkins, no pills. Just cut out the soda, stopped eating like a pig - no junk food... and gym for an hour every day (keeping the heart rate at 150).
Bought a Powerbook 17 - very cool machine. When it arrived (fresh off the boat from Taiwan) I powered it up... DEAD PIXELS ALL OVER THE SCREEN. I was super surprised, as I've ordered no-name Intel notebooks from seriously questionable suppliers (in the past) and have NEVER had a screen with even a single dead pixel. While I have to hand it to Apple for designing a super cool notebook, I'm thowing this one back and hoping they'll send me a unit that works!
I find it interesting that the management of this company have decided it best to conceal their identities. I wonder if these people have noticed?
Want to set up your own network of WiFI Hot Spots? Sputnik Claus has arrived. Check out this incredible deal at Sputnik. You can be your own Wireless ISP - or set up a network of secure, managed access points at your office(s). It's Cisco class performance at Wal-Mart prices. (please don't quote me) :)
"I don't believe in the immortal soul, but I do think that we are part Life itself, all of the plants and animals - maybe even the earth and sky. We are part of something greater than ourselves and when we return to that when we die. I will stop being an individual but I will always have been a part of the whole. I'm good with that although the unknown is more than a little scary."
RIP Dennis Dodd...
Will Code for Equity:At Sputnik we're looking for some folks to help us polish up a very cool wireless product. We did a limited release, which taught us some harsh lessons. We would like to find some great coders who are local to the San Francisco area to help us get the product to general availability. Experience with embedded Linux, and writing installers or CD based (and booted) systems would be a big plus. C, Perl - the usual. We can't pay much, but we can offer a decent bucket of early shares. Easy to reach office South of Market in San Francisco. Contact dladuke @ sputnik dot com if your crazy enough to take the plunge!
Almost a year since my last update. Time fly's when you're having fun I suppose. Too much going on for a complete review but here are some highlights, past and present.
Hot New Projects
Does your company have a product that you want sold or marketed in China, Korea or India? Do you want offshore development done but are concerned about code leakage or effectively managing development? Are you looking for a offshore distributor, sales agent, or intelligence on Asian markets? Then take a look at Eastern Stake Inc. These guys have their act together like no one I have ever worked with before.
Another exceptionally cool outfit I am involved with is Anuvu Inc. Anuvu is a company that has developed next generation fuel cell technology that will absolutely change the world. Their demo completely blew me away - and I am hard to impress! I can't say much more then that - but I am very excited to be working with these guys.
Linuxworld Expo in Jan 03
I'll be there and for the first time in five years I won't be representing Linuxcare. As of mid-November, I am no longer affiliated with Linuxcare in any capacity whatsoever (board member, employee or stakeholder). I wish the company luck and good fortune - we parted on the best of terms. To wit - I have joined the Linuxcare Alumni mailing list! The conference promises to be a good one - IDG has an excellent event planned. While I am rather booked that week with customer, community and show related responsibilities, I can be found in and out of the AMD booth or at my email address above. While this show looks to be really good in terms of general speakers and other distractions, the Australia National Linux Conference really looks like the place to be for those of us who value great technical sessions.
Being somewhat of a connected hobo I've managed to map out and upload all the WiFI hotspots along major rail routes from Houston (Texas), New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington. If January plans hold true I'll map the northern road to Chicago, onward to NYC. Then on return, I'll map the overland road back to California. I've always enjoyed walking along the tracks, jungling up with friends both old and new. Now, when I run across some interesting hobo art I can submit the photos in real time!
Sputnik has been going very well. Aside from slipping ship dates on the code, the WiFI space seems to be seeing some really interesting activity. Look for Sputnik to put up a improved version of the community gateway code soon. We expect to have the full version of the software (AP and back end Central Control) up for sale on the site soon. (ie. sometime 1st quarter) In any event - the reviews on our technology demonstrations have been overwhelmingly positive and I am itching to convert that momentum and energy to sales. Please think of us if you are going to do any large WiFI work. We scale way beyond anything currently available.
Linuxworld in NYC was a really good time. The IDG event people did an excellent job at putting together a great show in tough times. Not too many Linux companies, but it was fun to reconnect with people. My past associates from Linuxcare, Avery, Brad and Art O. where there mixing it up with partners and customers. Caldera had a nice booth, and it was great seeing Ransom and Benoy. Bumped into many quality Turbolinux folk such as Michael Jennings, Pete Beckman, Ly Pham and John Hayes. Ran into Dirk Hohndel, formerly of SuSE and now with Intel in Oregon. Participated in the Golden Penguin Bowl with Rasmus, Jeremy (who despite his awesome knowledge of trivia seems to get saddled with trivia-deadwood like myself- he has never won a Golden Penguin and has been trying for years) and other cool folks. I'm no trivia master but this time we made a very respectable attempt to win, we only lost points once, and the final score was close. I really wanted to spend more time then I had with everyone. I regret I wasn't able to hook up with Dan York, Marc Torres or Domonique Russo. Toward the end of my stay, many unexpected meetings consumed the bulk of available time. The mobile CDPD based 802.11 access point was a hit, although coverage was limited to major cities. (I considered hacking Rail-Fone, but it seemed like Amtrak needed the money more then I needed the slow link)
The trip from San Francisco to New York's Penn Station on Amtrak takes about four days. The total ticket price was a little over the top, $3200.00. On the other hand, I saw a lot of the country first hand at ground level. San Francisco to Chicago, Chicago to NYC, NYC back to Chicago, Chicago to Seattle and Seattle to San Francisco. That's nine days on the train in a small but comfortable room, three good meals and snacks, and transportation. It's not inexpensive, but I've spent more on crap that resulted in less pleasant memories. It was nice to arrive downtown, less then a 5-minute cab ride from the hotel. When you weigh the cab ride to and from JFK against four days on a train, in many respects the train wins. About the only complaint I have is the condition of the coaches, clearly Amtrak is suffering from budget issues. The California Zephyr and the Empire Builder were a little like public housing on wheels- and could use some improvements. All things considered, I highly recommend giving it a try.
New York City
NYC was of course, fab as always. Had dinner at Union Square with some old friends from MSN financial and Bloomberg, famous attorneys and top Wall Street guys. I ordered the "Fried Chicken," simply because I wondered what fried chicken and potatoes at $35.00 a plate would taste like. Colonel Sanders has nothing to worry about, nothing beats the Original Recipe. I never stay as long as I should...

By NEMS Daily Journal
Northeast Mississippians first realized the strength and magnitude of Toyota's commitment to long-term philanthropy in 2007 when, on the day of the company announcement of its manufacturing plant in Blue Springs, it made its pledge to invest $50 million for educational excellence in the three counties whose efforts recruited it to Mississippi.
The depth of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi, Inc.'s generosity has continued to unfold in the three PUL Alliance counties: Pontotoc, Union and Lee.
In the past year TMMS's philanthropic involvement in its communities has totaled $459,000 – 44 organizations and programs. Two of the most recent gifts were made to the Lee County Library ($20,000) and $35,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs in Tupelo and New Albany, and Faith Haven, a shelter in Tupelo.
Philanthropy with TMMMS and its national manufacturing structure is not random.
The company's philosophy is powerfully, simply stated on its website:
"At Toyota, we believe an auto company can also be a vehicle for change. That's why we support programs focused on environment, education and safety initiatives that help strengthen diverse communities across the U.S. – for today and for the future. We are also proud to partner with nonprofit organizations in the local communities where we live and work. Since 1991, Toyota has contributed over half a billion dollars to philanthropic programs in the U.S."
The library grant, formally announced Monday, will purchase about 500 items aimed at children and young adult users of LCL. The investment will range from bound volumes to digital books to large screens useful for larger-group use.
The long-term effect is expected to increase digital reading materials by about 25 percent, add about 250 books and expand equipment.
The library's reciprocity is to increase by 20 percent the number of registered children and young adults users, along with a 20 percent increase in the size of collections for them.
The website http://www.toyota.com/about/philanthropy/ offers information about applications for grants and gifts, with guidelines and preferences. The restrictions are as clearly stated as the possibilities.
Some giant corporations just don't get it when it comes to investment, communities and relationships. Toyota gets it. Participating in and respecting its process for philanthropy can benefit thousands of people.

I carry on pottering in the garden. We had an area down the side of the garden that we have never really used. I have been coming and going to the farm on the motorbike and carrying back sacks of soil and laterite stones and have made several new plots. Have also acquired some lemongrass and galangal from the farm and planted these along with several types of basil and some mint. The whole corner looks much better now.
At the village market this evening I buy a small rose and another flower to brighten things up outside the back door.

1.4: Scientific Law
Did you ever drive a bumper car like the one pictured here? As you drive around the track, other drivers try to bump into your car and push it out of the way. When another car bumps into yours, both cars may bounce back from the collision. The harder the two cars collide, the farther back they bounce.
It's the Law
It may seem like common sense that bumper cars change their motion when they collide. That's because all objects behave this way - it's the law! A scientific law, called Newton's third law of motion, states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, when one bumper car acts by ramming another, one or both cars react by pushing apart.
Q: What are some other examples of Newton's third law of motion? What actions are always followed by reactions?
A: Other examples of actions and reactions include hitting a ball with a bat and the ball bouncing back; and pushing a swing and the swing moving away.
Laws in Science
Newton's third law of motion is just one of many scientific laws. A scientific law is a statement describing what always happens under certain conditions. Other examples of laws in physical science include:
- Newton's first law of motion
- Newton's second law of motion
- Newton's law of universal gravitation
- Law of conservation of mass
- Law of conservation of energy
- Law of conservation of momentum
Laws vs. Theories
Scientific laws state what always happen. This can be very useful. It can let you let you predict what will happen under certain circumstances. For example, Newton's third law tells you that the harder you hit a softball with a bat, the faster and farther the ball will travel away from the bat. However, scientific laws have a basic limitation. They don't explain why things happen. "Why" questions are answered by scientific theories, not scientific laws.
Q: You know that the sun always sets in the west. This could be expressed as a scientific law. Think of something else that always happens in nature. How could you express it as a scientific law?
A: Something else that always happens in nature is water flowing downhill rather than uphill. This could be expressed as the law, "When water flows over a hill, it always flows from a higher to a lower elevation."
- A scientific law is a statement describing what always happens under certain conditions. Newton's three laws of motion are examples of laws in physical science.
- A scientific law states what always happens but not why it happens. Scientific theories answer "why" questions.
- scientific law: Statement describing what always happens under certain conditions in nature.
Watch this video comparing scientific laws and theories, and then answer the questions below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDED5fCY86s (4:18)
- Do well-supported scientific theories eventually become scientific laws? Why or why not?
- How are theories and laws related?
- Define scientific law.
- Identify three laws in physical science.
- Which of these statements could be a scientific law?
- Metals such as copper conduct electric current.
- Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
- How is a scientific law different from a scientific theory?
- Contrast scientific laws with traffic laws or other laws devised by people.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Nathan Smith
RE:Nate - where the heck are you anyway?
I'm back..... 10 days, fished Henry's Fork in Idaho. This was then only place I got a guide so I could drift. Got about 15-20 fish, largest 22", all bows.I lost a troph though. He may have been 24"+. I was just about to the boat take out and saw a rip formed by a single rock and casted to it. She hit a number #20 PMD and took off. and after getting to the backing she jumped. Then I heard the guide say " *&%# that's a big fish don't lose him". I fought him for about 15min and then he got the hook out.
Then cut across yellowstone and did all the tourist stuff then fished the Lamar river. It is a lesser known river in the park (still lots of pressure though)and went for native yellowstone cutthroats, got 4, largest about 16". Then spent 3 days in the Bear tooth wilderness about 2hrs northeast of yellowstone, got snowed on. Tons of cuts and brookies, but they where all really small, 12" was a good fish. It was funny though. We would hit the tributaries from the glacer lakes.
Then went down to Utah through Wyoming and hit the Provo river in Utah. This is one of my favorite brown trout spots around. it is a beautiful river with good access, only 20 min away from down town. Fished it two days had 13 browns and 1 rainbow, largest 17". Great trip.
Nate - where the heck are you anyway?
I think you said you were headed out to Utah to fish for trout... could this be the week? I was surprised not to see a Nate the fishing machine signed up on the Tip Rip Trip. If you're out in the butte country send a smoke signal (and take lots of pictures!)

Winter Awareness Day is Today
Posted By Community On @ 6:28 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Winter is officially here and there are many things that you'll have to prepare. Larry Smith, Emergency Management Coordinator, recommends having a winter survival kit ready. The kit should have all the supplies you would need for three days. Aside from food and water, Smith says to have any medicines you or your family might need. He also recommends having the contact information for your doctor in your kit. His last piece of advice is to not forget about pets, they should have what they need to survive as well. KCII is the one to count on for information during any storm or winter emergency. We can bring the information first, fast, and accurately to keep you informed.

What We Can Learn From Recent Bulldozing of Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles
Posted On July 20, 2012 by Catherine Fox
There was shocking news last week from Trinidad's Grande Riviere beach, probably the densest nesting site for endangered leatherback sea turtles on the planet.
A long wet season had diverted a river's flow, threatening turtle nesting areas as well as a hotel that hosts ecotourists who come to witness nesting season.
Government efforts to bulldoze the river back to its usual path, a move meant to save nesting areas, crushed sea turtle eggs and hatchlings. Early reports ranged to upwards of 20,000 small turtles lost, but revised numbers are much lower. Continue reading »

Roland TR-707 Rhythm Composer
A very underrated drum machine! It resembles the popular TR-909, and better yet, its hi-hat, cymbals, and clap sound almost identical to the TR-909! The TR-707 is a great source for cheap 909 samples. It has some other cool features too such as its Matrix display which clearly maps out your pattern for you in an easy to read display panel. It also features both MIDI in/out and DIN sync control - the best of both worlds. Why this unit even has individual outputs for each of its drum tones!
For programming, it features a shuffle and flam effect and its programming abilities are very impressive. But it does have its limitations, the only adjustment you can make to each drum tone is volume. And all of its other drum tones are boring (especially ride, kick and snare). It's used by Aphex Twin, Laurent Garnier, Squarepusher, Luke Vibert, Freddy Fresh, Phil Collins, Marshall Jefferson and Plastikman.

Development of Performance Based Tsunami Engineering
Published on
This was the first presentation at the NEES annual meeting to present the project. Because it was near the beginning of the project, it spoke mostly of the planned experiments. This presentation, together with the other NEES annual meeting presentation at the end of the project, make bookends to the project.
