Leadership failings blamed for abuse of Iraqi prisoners
Neglect of duty by senior military officers led to abuse of captive Iraqi civilians and the use of interrogation techniques forbidden by the British Army for more than 30 years, a court martial was told yesterday.
Colonel Jorge Mendonca, the former commanding officer of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, and Major Michael Peebles and Warrant Officer Mark Davies, of the Intelligence Corps, were accused of failing to have a checking system which could have prevented assaults which left one prisoner, Baha Mousa, dead and others seriously injured.
MajPeebles, 35, WO Davies, 37, and ColMendonca, 42, each face a charge of negligently performing their duties.
The Iraqis had been arrested on suspicion of involvement with insurgents, and soon after the deaths of six British Royal Military Policemen in a gun battle at Majar al-Kabir in Maysan province and Captain Dai Jones, an officer in the First Battalion Queen's Lancashire Regiment, who was killed by a bomb attack near Basra.
Maj Peebles had referred to the prisoners as "terrorist suspects", the court was told.
Julian Bevan QC, for the prosecution, said: "This failure to have a checking system in place has to be seen in light of the fact that the soldiers, who are in charge of persons suspected of being a threat to the coalition forces, could be tempted to behave out of line, abuse them and ill-treat them."
Mr Bevan said, bearing in mind the recent deaths of the British servicemen, the officers in charge should have been even more alert to the possibility of ill-treatment.
Left unchecked and unsupervised, the soldiers kept the detainees hooded, deprived of sleep and in the "stress position" (standing knees bent, arms outstretched) for a 36-hour period, the court was told.
This contravened the prisoners' rights within law to be treated humanely. The technique had been forbidden since a 1972 government investigation into practices in Northern Ireland. In addition the British military's intelligence specialists have also said the method was counter-productive in gaining information, Mr Bevan said.
Furthermore, in contravention of a standing order in the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, the detainees were held at a temporary holding facility for more than 14 hours, the court heard.
The nine arrested Iraqis were taken to the holding base for tactical questioning, under Maj Peebles' command, in order to find out whether they were a risk to the occupation forces.
Addressing the failure to move them on to other facilities, Mr Bevan said: "The consequences were that these detainees were held, cuffed, hooded, deprived of sleep and, for the most part, held in the stress position in extreme heat and increasingly unsanitary conditions for over 36 hours until the death of Baha Mousa. The result was that Corporal Payne and the guards were left to act as they wished."
Cpl Donald Payne, 35, has admitted to the inhuman treatment of the Iraqis, but denies charges of manslaughter and perverting the course of justice. L/Cpl Wayne Crowcroft, 22, and Pte Darren Fallon, 23, are have denied a charge of inhuman treatment. Sgt Kelvin Stacey, 29, is accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm with an alternative count of common assault.
The case continues.

Operation Block Leave underway at Lambert Airport
Officials plan playground to make Lambert Airport more family-friendly
Lambert Airport announced a plan to make the facility more family-friendly.
Airport officials announced a partnership with The Magic House. They are building a 1,500 square-foot indoor playground in Concourse C. The playground will open in late May. Lambert officials say children will be able to pretend they are flying a plane or work in a control tower, among other activities.
The playground will be funded through donations.

Cardinal's flight to Boston delayed 7 hours
After waiting seven hours on the tarmac at Lambert Airport, the Cardinals are finally on the ground in Boston.
A mechanical problem had grounded the Delta Airlines charter flight that was supposed to take off Tuesday afternoon. Players, coaches and their families had to wait for a new one to be flown in from Atlanta.
While they waited, several players posted good-natured comments on social media. Matt Carpenter tweeted "On the bright side really getting to know my teammates children."
The Cardinals hadn't scheduled any workouts for Tuesday.
The team finally arrived in Boston about 10:00 p.m. St. Louis time.
They'll take on the Red Sox in a must-win World Series Game 6 Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. CDT.
Lindbergh plane lands at Lambert again
A bit of history has returned to St. Louis. A small airplane once owned by Charles Lindbergh is now back on display at Lambert Airport.
Officials from the Missouri History Museum spent hours over the weekend installing the 1934 D-127 Monocoupe aircraft, which hangs once again over the C Concourse in Terminal 1.
The museum also installed a new interactive kiosk near the plane that displays the history of Lambert and Lindbergh. The plane was originally installed at Lambert in 1979. It was removed in March 2011 as part of terminal renovations.
Lambert officials say that over the years, the plane accumulated dust and other airborne pollutants so a conservation effort was necessary to make sure the plane was preserved.
St. Louis-bound AA flight makes emergency landing
The passengers of a St. Louis-bound American Airlines flight finally arrived at Lambert International Airport after a small fire on their plane forced it to return to O'Hare International Airport.
Officials with the airline say smoke was discovered in the cabin of the MD-80 shortly after takeoff Thursday evening. The flight crew put out the fire and the plane landed safely back at O'Hare.
The 120 passengers were placed on a later flight and arrived in St. Louis about 11 p.m.
There were no injuries reported
Private jet company agrees to lease land, facilities from Lambert
A private jet company's plans to move onto Lambert Airport's grounds could create as many as 100 jobs.
Jet Linx plans to operate out of a private terminal and hangar that had been used by the Missouri Air National Guard. The company will pay $1 million to lease the land. Jet Linx officials also plan to invest another $1 million into renovations and will buy $3 million in jet fuel every year. The new jobs will range from construction to pilots.
Airport officials say the partnership has been 2 years in the making.
Something new flying at Lambert...bees
Lambert Airport will soon have some new tenants...bees.
The St. Louis Airport Authority has approved a three-year lease with Robins Apiaries to keep bee hives on a 400 square foot patch of land near a seldom-used runway. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the airport will collect $75 a year in rent from 76 year old beekeeper Jim Robins.
A plentiful supply of white dutch clover blooming near billion dollar W-1-W project runway drew Robins to the site. The runway opened in 2006, but hasn't seen much traffic since TWA filed for bankruptcy and American Airlines yanked hub status away from Lambert.
Lambert will be the third major US airport to host bee hives. Chicago's O'Hare International and Seattle-Tacoma International both have significant bee operations.
Last day for public to see Solar Impulse plane
It is the last day for the public to get a look at the revolutionary solar-powered plane that made a stop in St. Louis.
Lambert Spokesperson Jeff Lea tells KTRS News there are still tickets available to see the Solar Impulse today. Viewing runs from 1-4 and free tickets are available at solarimpulse.com. The plane is scheduled to take off at the end of the week.
It is the first solar-powered plane that can fly in day or night.
History making solar powered flight on way to St. Louis
A history-making flight is winging its way to St. Louis.
A solar-powered airplane called Solar Impulse took off this morning from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport bound for Lambert. The plane flies about 40 mph and the third leg is roughly 560 miles.
Swiss pilot and Solar Impulse CEO Bertrand Piccard tells McGraw in the Morning, just like Charles Lindbergh's first flight across the Atlantic, weight is an issue.
Piccard says, "If we have the weight of a normal airplane the solar energy would never be enough to fly day and night. So we had to make the lightest possible airplane and this was the big challenge to have the weight of a small car or size of a jumbo jet, nobody thought it was possible."
An inflatable hangar has been set up at Lambert-St. Louis Airport to accommodate the solar-powered plane which is set to land at Lambert around 1:00 a.m.Tuesday. You can follow the solar flight at http://live.solarimpulse.com.

Increased survival depends on excision and recombination proteins and relies on the ability of RecG helicase to form Holliday junctions from replication forks stalled at lesions in the DNA and of PriA to initiate replication restart. The role of RecG provides novel insights into the interplay between transcription, replication, and recombination, and suggests a general model in which recombination underpins genome duplication in the face of frequent obstacles to replication fork progression.

Genome stability and the processing of damaged replication forks by RecG
Trends in Genetics, Volume 18, Issue 8, 1 August 2002, Pages 413-419
Peter McGlynn and Robert G Lloyd
AbstractChromosomal duplication faces many blocks to replication fork progression that could destabilize the genome and prove fatal if not overcome. Overcoming such blocks requires interplay between DNA replication, recombination and repair. The RecG protein of Escherichia coli promotes rescue of damaged forks by catalysing their unwinding and conversion to Holliday junctions. Subsequent processing of this structure allows repair or bypass of the fork block, enabling replication to resume without recourse to potentially mutagenic translesion synthesis or recombination. Such direct rescue of stalled forks might help safeguard genome integrity in all organisms.

Substrate Specificity of RusA Resolvase Reveals the DNA Structures Targeted by RuvAB and RecG In Vivo
Molecular Cell, Volume 10, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 187-198
Edward L Bolt and Robert G Lloyd
SummaryRusA endonuclease cleaves Holliday junctions by introducing paired strand incisions 5′ to CC dinucleotides. Coordinated catalysis is achieved when both subunits of the homodimer interact simultaneously with cleavage sites located symmetrically. This requirement confers Holliday junction specificity. Uncoupled catalysis occurs when binding interactions are disturbed. Genetic studies indicate that uncoupling occurs rarely in vivo, and DNA cleavage is therefore restricted to Holliday junctions. We exploited the specificity of RusA to identify the DNA substrates targeted by the RuvAB and RecG branch-migration proteins in vivo. We present evidence that replication restart in UV-irradiated cells relies on the processing of stalled replication forks by RecG helicase and of Holliday junctions by the RuvABC resolvasome, and that RuvAB alone may not promote repair.

Add/View Comments (0)Reverse branch migration of holliday junctions by RecG protein: A new mechanism for resolution of intermediates in recombination and DNA repair
Matthew C. Whitby, Lizanne Ryder and Robert G. Lloyd
Department of Genetics University of Nottingham Queens Medical Centre Nottingham NG7 2UH, England
- The RecG protein of E. coli is a junction-specific DNA helicase involved in recombination and DNA repair. The function of the protein was investigated using an in vitro recombination reaction catalyzed by RecA. We show that RecG counters RecA-driven strand exchange by catalyzing branch migration of the Holliday junction in the reverse direction. This activity represents a new mechanism for resolving recombination intermediates that is independent of junction cleavage. We discuss how reverse branch migration can facilitate DNA repair, promote recombination in conjugational crosses, and confine the distribution of Chistimulated cross-overs. We suggest that the RecG mechanism for resolution of junctions is universal and provides a simple system that allows gene conversion without associated crossing over.

After nine weeks in the Yukon earlier this year to photograph the Northern Lights, followed by some extended travels, I finally returned home to the pleasant surprise of winning the overall David Malin Award at the 2012 CWAS Astrofest for an image taken from very close to home, in Williamstown near the centre of Melbourne, Australia.
I was motivated to capture the image above while writing my ebook 'Shooting Stars', as I needed some more Moon shots to show what photographers could achieve with relatively simple camera gear (ie. no telescope). This image is certainly not the most technically challenging night sky image I have ever captured, but there is a bit of work involved in identifying the right time and location to capture moonrise over a particular foreground scene. In this case I used The Photographer's Ephemeris to plan the shot for the evening of 12th November 2011. I got lucky with the weather on the night, with a little bit of high cloud adding atmosphere to the shot and also reducing the brightness of the Moon.
The image was captured with a Canon 5D MarkII DSLR and Pentax 300mm ED IF lens and Canon 1.4x teleconverter. I used LR Enfuse in Lightroom to combine three exposures of 1/4, 0.8 & 2.5 second exposures, all at f8 and ISO100. Below are two black and white versions taken around the same time which appeal to me as well.
Details of all the 2012 David Malin Award winners have been published by the Central West Astronomical Society. Several images have also been published online by the Herald Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
The Astrofest itself was a very enjoyable weekend, catching up with other photographers and hearing from seriously clever radio-astronomers about their work at 'The Dish' and planning for the Square Kilometre Array, part of which will now be built in Australia.
Congratulations to all the award winners, and thanks to the Central West Astronomical Society for organising the event, David Malin and sponsors Canon Australia, CSIRO and Parkes Shire Council.

For the expense this place is just terrible. I had the "From the Pitt Combo" of ribs and chicken with sides of mashed potatoes and biscuits & gravy. The BBQ Chicken wasn't from the "pit," it was just plain the "pits." It was the driest chicken I've ever tasted. In an attempt to cover how dry it was, they covered the chicken in their BBQ sauce which was marginal at best. The ribs had a horrible after taste and were as dry as chalk. The biscuits & gravy were not eatable; they had no gravy on them and were so dry they simply crumbled to nothing. They had to be at least two days old.
We also had the Mac & Cheese. In my opinion there is nothing "comfort" about Mac N Cheese with no cheese in sight. My wife had the Molten Meatloaf, also dry and bland - could have used a simple gravy or maybe just a quick burial in a shallow grave with the rest of the meal. You can find better BBQ at a vegetarian's cook-out!!!

I am working on a WPF application. During tests I noticed, that the application runs way smoother, if I switch to a Windows Aero Theme instead of a Basic Theme.
Why does this happen - and how can I make sure that the applications always runs as smooth as it does when using a Windows Aero Theme?
Thank you for your answer!

'Perfect storm' creates humanitarian crisis in Sudan
A top US official warned of a humanitarian crisis yesterday after tens of thousands of refugees fleeing south after the north's invasion of a disputed territory were running short of food, fuel and shelter.
County Commissioner Dominic Deng said up to 40,000 people had arrived in Turalei, a town south of the disputed region of Abyei, and at least 80,000 had fled Abyei.
On a visit to Turalei yesterday, the top US official in southern Sudan, Barrie Walkley, said there was a "perfect storm" creating a humanitarian crisis. Sudan's north is blockading border crossings, preventing food and fuel from getting to the south. Militias are attacking southern forces, and the northern army displaced tens of thousands of people by invading Abyei, he said.
Both northern and southern Sudan stake a claim to Abyei, a fertile grassland near several oil fields. Fighting between north and south broke out last week, and northern troops moved in with force.

Nationals rally to tie Royals, then lose it with some shaky defense
First the Washington Nationals were very bad, giving up four runs in the first inning. Then they were very good, recovering from the big early deficit to forge a 4-4 tie in search of their sixth straight road win. But then they were very bad again, fumbling through a shaky eighth inning Sunday afternoon while giving up two runs and practically handing a 6-4 win to a Kansas City team that hadn't had a victory in more than a week.
Tanner Roark shines as Nationals rally for wild win
The rookie reliever shut down the Kansas City Royals over the critical middle innings Friday night, emboldening his team after it rallied from a six-run hole. Jayson Werth's two-run homer and a terrific catch by Bryce Harper helped sew up Washington's 11-10 victory.
Stephen Strasburg blows lead in 9th but Nationals win in 13th
After a two-hour rain delay at the start, Strasburg was one out away from a complete game with a 4-1 lead before Chicago rallied to tie it.

CINCINNATI -- Shortstop Barry Larkin got death threats when he spoke out against racial bias during Marge Schott's ownership of the Cincinnati Reds, showing him firsthand about prejudice.
Larkin will be back in town this weekend to broadcast a Reds game for the first time as part of Major League Baseball's Civil Rights weekend, honoring those who have fought for equality. Larkin will do commentary for the MLB Network's broadcast of a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
It's an appropriate setting for calling his first Reds game.
Larkin was the Reds' team captain in the 1990s, when Schott made racially and ethnically inflammatory comments and was repeatedly suspended by baseball. Larkin didn't hide from the issue and learned there was a cost to speaking out against prejudice.
It came in the mail.
"I was told I needed to be quiet and just be thankful I had a job and basically, I wasn't supposed to have an opinion," Larkin said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I don't know who it was that sent the hate mail. I gave all of that to the FBI because they wanted to make sure we were protected as players and as citizens."
Before the game on Saturday, Larkin will be part of a panel discussion on baseball and the civil rights movement. Baseball will present its annual Beacon Awards to Hall of Famer Willie Mays, tennis player Billie Jean King and entertainer Harry Belafonte, a civil rights activist.
Larkin, now 46, said he was aware of the racial divide when he was growing up but didn't encounter much prejudice in Cincinnati.
"I remember playing on pretty much an all-minority youth team and going to some of the tournaments north of Cincinnati and not being able to stay with host families where all the other teams were staying with host families," he said. "Our coaches were fighting the battles for us and bringing up the issue of race."
Larkin went to Michigan and returned to his hometown team as a first-round pick. He helped the Reds win a World Series in 1990 and was the National League's MVP in 1995, when the Reds last appeared in the playoffs. During that time, Schott began to overshadow her team, getting suspended twice for inflammatory remarks. She faced another suspension when she told the team in 1999. Schott died five years later.
"Marge treated our family with nothing but respect," Larkin said. "She was very gracious, very accepting and very respectful. In my personal experience, she was absolutely wonderful to me and my family.
"When this issue did come up, I was asked about it. The stance I took was there is no room for racial bias anywhere in sports. I believe that was basically all I said about it. Certainly I was cast as an abolitionist. Death threats came. Hate mail came. It was uncomfortable for me, but I felt good about the fact that I didn't hide from the issue," he said.
Larkin played for his hometown team through 2004, when the former owners didn't want to offer another contract. Larkin had a chance to extend his career in Washington under former Reds general manager Jim Bowden but couldn't envision himself in anything other than a Reds uniform. So he retired.
Larkin was an adviser to Bowden for a few years and had several business interests. The rift with the Reds remained until Bob Castellini took over as owner. Larkin was invited to spring training in Arizona this year, his first chance to work with his former team on the field.
The Reds suggested he call the Civil Rights game on its network, and Major League Baseball decided to make him part of its broadcast. Larkin has been an MLB analyst but hasn't done a Reds game.
"I'm hoping this will be something that happens more often," Larkin said. "It is special. It's nice. I think it's something I'll be very comfortable with."

Endorsement interview: Jim Meko
Editors note: The Guardian is interviewing candidates for the fall elections, and to give everyone the broadest possible understanding of the issues and our endorsement process, we're posting the sound files of all the interviews on the politics blog. Our endorsements will be coming out Oct. 6th.
Jim Meko's been part of western SOMA for decades. He founded the SOMA Leadership Council, played a key role in Western SOMA planning, helped create the Entertainment Commission and now sits on that panel. He probably knows the details of land-use policy better than half the professional planners in the city and has all sorts of ideas about using zoning and traffic engineering to improve the neighborhood (two-way traffic on Folsom, for example). He's pushing to be sure that market-rate housing development not skew the existing ration of affordable to expensive housing. He's a small business owner and a supporter of the entertainment industry.
He's got a bit of a fiscal conservative side, too: He told us he supports Jeff Adachi's pension-reform measure and wants to get rid of many of the set-asides in the city budget. You can listen to his views here:
Bravo Jim Meko for supporting Prop B. Almost all of our elected officials and those running for office are cowards and afraid to challenge organized labor. They would rather watch our City crumble than ask City employees to contribute more for their generous benefits. You stand with the vast majority of San Francisco residents.
Has real world experience.
Well done a man who lives,works and supports the neighborhood for years now. Hope he wins this tough race. The interview shows the depth of knowledge and contempt for the current board's action or lack of. I live here Jim sure sound like the best for our district.
This guy sounds reasonable. I don't agree with everything he says, but he recognizes the need for pension reform. Also, I like the way that when asked a question he doesn't know the answer to or hasn't taken a position on, he says so, and doesn't pretend to have an answer.
Jim Meko is supremely qualified to represent District Six and should get the Guardian's blessing. He has lived in the neighborhood for three decades, runs a small printing business, and has been actively involved in ground level neighborhood activism for years. He has a distinguished record of accomplishment through the South of Market Leadership Council, the Western SOMA Citizens Planning Taskforce, and as a member of the Entertainment Commission. He knows the city bureaucracy and has helped countless individuals and businesses to navigate the regulatory landscape. He has brokered agreements between hostile parties, preserving the peace and unique mix that characterizes South of Market. His biggest contribution has been in the areas of land use, where his efforts have established mechanisms to encourage smart development that will enhance rather than destroy the neighborhood. And he has been incredibly effective: many of the policies he has helped set in place have been goals of neighborhood activists for decades. He has earned the respect and admiration of those who have seen his actions. He is smart and has a really big heart, and can be fierce in the defense of what he thinks is best for his neighborhood. He will do the same for his constituents. If he is elected Supervisor, the entire District 6 will benefit from the kind of intelligence, vigilance, and commitment he has given so generously to South of Market.

How Physicists Think About Star Trek Movies and Series,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 122,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
Did you know that many of the world's best physicists like to watch Star Trek, and then discuss what's right and wrong about the science displayed? Well, apparently they do.
Drawing on contacts within the scientific community and on-line bulletin boards, Professor Krauss has written a sprightly review of what physicists think about when they see these shows. He translates these observations into simple concepts that the average reader should be able to follow, assuming an interest in Star Trek or science. As a non-scientist, I had always assumed that 70 percent of the "science" on a Star Trek show was just so much imagination. The reason I thought that was because I could see so many obvious errors (seeing phaser light in space, hearing sounds in space, effects occurring too soon on the space ship, holograms acting like they were made of matter, and permanent worm holes) based on what little I knew. Was I ever surprised to find out that these obvious errors were the bulk of all the errors in the shows! Apparently the writers have been working closely with scientifically knowledgeable people to keep what is covered reasonably possible . . . along with some poetic license. The physics of cosmology are fascinating, but I can quickly get lost in matching quantum mechanics to general relativity and so forth. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that I could follow the arguments much better when they used a familiar Star Trek episode as a reference. Like the child who learns math when it involves counting his or her own money, I can learn physics more easily when it relates to Star Trek. Very nice! The book takes a look at the common Star Trek features like warp drive, transporters, replicators, phasers, sensors, subspace communications, and tractor beams. You also get special looks at less common features like multiple universes and special forms of radiation. You can read this book from several perspectives as a result: (1) to appreciate what's happening in an episode; (2) to learn some science; (3) to think about where Star Trek could become real and where it is less likely to become so; and (4) what problems have to be solved in order for Star Trek technology to develop. I found the last perspective to be the most interesting. Professor Krauss's speculations about how rapidly technology might develop and what could be done with it were most fascinating. Where the book fell down a little was in being quite strong in stating that certain "laws" of physics would never be changed. If we go back in 100 year increments, we find that a lot of earlier "laws" are later somewhat amended if not totally changed. That may happen in the future as well, as we learn more. Professor Krauss is a little too confident in many places that there is nothing else to learn. Most modern technology would look like Star Trek science fiction to someone living in 1700, despite being based on sound scientific principles not understood then. After you finish enjoying this interesting book, think about what questions no one is trying to solve. Why not? What benefits would occur if they were solved? How could curiosity be stimulated about these questions? Ask and answer important questions in interesting ways to make faster progress!

Fun and enlightening,
By Rick Hunter (Malone, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Hardcover)
As both a Star Trek (old series) fan and popular science reader, I was greatly intrigued to see Lawrence Krauss' The Physics of Star Trek at my local bookstore. Often disappointed by past efforts to connect to the bandwagon of popular culture, I was delighted at how learned, clear, yet sprightly Krauss' short book was. In the first part, Krauss attempts nothing less than an explanation of Newtonian physics, general and special relativity, and other physics concepts to explain warp drives, tractor beams, wormholes, and other Star Trek staples that -- under the laws of physics as we now understand them -- are probably impossible. Subsequent chapters address and deconstruct the transporter beam, warp drive, etc. The clarity and humor of Krauss' writing is just wonderful. Perhaps the most amusing chapter is the last, in which Krauss lists his "top ten" Star Trek scientific bloopers -- events, plot devices, and the like that just could not occur. Because he is a trekker, Krauss does not treat these foibles with contempt or ridicule; as a scientist and writer, he ably outlines those errors.

Not too shabby...,
By "daverod" (Queens, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
As I looked through my local bookstore for an interesting read, I could not help but notice this interesting title in the Physics science section. Being a sporatic viewer of Star Trek myself, I picked it up for a closer look. As I read the first section of the book, I realized that it was more than blatant critique on scientific errors. Rather, it was an interesting view of future possibilities and also impossibilities in the field of science. In this book, Krauss explores the existence of things such as wormholes, black holes, and existence of other intelligent life in space. Krauss is also relentless in his discussion of Einstein and other renowned Physicists. He often writes about highly esoteric subject matter, but on the whole this book is well rounded and a relatively interesting read. However, keep in mind that one must have an interest in science, specifically fields such as quantum mechanics and relativity.

A Fun Book,
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
Lawrence Krauss examines the technology of the Star Trek universe and discusses whether such technology is possible or not according to physics as we know it today. As it turns out, most of the technology is either impossible or improbable when considering the laws of physics. For example, to use warp drive or impulse drive, it would take more energy than the entire planet uses at present. Another example, which would probably be impossible, is the transporter. Krauss raises the issue of whether the transporter transmits the matter or just the information of a person. If it transmits the matter, there is the problem of scanning, storing, and transmitting the data of the location of each molecule,--a feat that would take an astronomical amount of calculating power. If it only transmits the data, then the transporter is effectively a human replicator. If that is the case, what do they do with the original body? Also it raises a lot of ethical issues as well.
I really recommend this for those fans of Star Trek who are interested in finding out if the science in the Star Trek world is feasible or not. It's very easy to read and very entertaining too. Check it out.

Today's Science Fiction Is Often Tomorrow's Science Fact,
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
Nearly everyone on the planet has seen at least one episode of Star Trek. At the same time, nearly everyone has wondered about certain aspects of the show. For example, if their civilization is so advanced, how come no one has invented a cure for baldness? On the more technical side, certain questions pop up again and again. For example, what really happens during the process of "beaming up"? Why is warp 10 not attainable? How does a tractor beam work?...
Like Mr. Wizard, Lawrence Krauss, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, answers all your questions - or most of them. All the major topics are covered, including a few minor ones. The text is non-technical, clear and concise, but also complete. Although it is impossible to discuss certain ideas without the use of graphs and equations, Krauss keeps them to a minimum. For each particular advanced technology of the future, the theory behind each application is dissected, explained, and examined. Also, given present day knowledge, the author examines the theoretical or practical obstacles that would have to be overcome in order to achieve this technology. In transporter technology, for example, what exactly would be involved? Would the actual atoms and molecules have to be sent, or would just the information (code) be sufficient? Would both (atoms and information) be necessary and how would such a task be accomplished, if at all? This book is highly recommended. Even if you are not a Star Trek fan, you will be interested. This book is easy to read, faithful to the physics, full of Star Trek trivia and always entertaining. Voyager and Deep Space Nine episodes are also mentioned, when relevant to the particular topic under discussion.

Scotty was right: "You canna change the laws of physics.",
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
I never took biology or chemistry let alone physics in school, so I am easily intimidated by big words with Latin prefixes and Greek suffixes that explain the mysteries of the real world let alone the Star Trek universe. Lawrence M. Krauss, Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics and Professor of Astronomy and Chairman of the Department of Physics at Case Western Reserve University might be making stuff up the same was as Gene Roddenberry and his heirs, but he sure makes a compelling case that is easily understood even by scientific illiterates such as myself. He certainly has the credentials, even if he spells his first name funny.
This book takes nitpicking about Star Trek to a whole new level, and I mean that in the best sense of the world. "The Physics of Star Trek" is divided into three sections. The first, "A Cosmic Poker Game," explores the physics of inertial dampers and tractor beams as they apply to warp speed, deflector shields, wormholes and time travel (The short answer is "No, but...," which is where it gets fascinating). The second, "Matter Matter Everywhere," covers transporter beams, warp drives, dilithium crystals, matter-antimatter engines, and the holodeck (see above short answer). The third, "The Invisible Universe, or Things That Go Bump in the Night," looks at the great unknown of the future where we may (or may not) encounter alien beings, multiple dimensions and other fun thinks from the Star Trek universe. There are nice diagrams to help the explanations along, filing in for Krauss' classroom chalkboard. Krauss also proves he is not alone in his major league nitpicking as he includes a Top Ten Physics Bloopers and Blunders from Star Trek that were selected by Noble Prize-winning physicists and other Trekkers. In his foreword Stephen Hawking points out what we have known since Jules Verne: "Today's science fiction is often tomorrow's science fact." I believe it was Jim Kirk who said things were only impossible until you did them. If I had read this book when I first watched the original Star Trek in syndication it might have kindled my interest in science to a level at least appropriate for polite social conversation. I can easily imagine what reading this book might do for somewhere who loves science; opening the minds of students to the possibilities behind the television show they enjoy watching.

A must...,
By Teemacs (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
...for anyone who likes both "Trek" and science. Laurence Krauss shows that it is possible to enjoy "Trek" while using it as a tool to teach some physics fundamentals (usually to the effect that "Trek" physics/technology is impossible or wildly improbable). The foreword is by Stephen Hawking, also a fan, who endorses the imagination-expanding possibilities of science fiction. Remember how many engineers were inspired by the example of the late "Scotty" (he was even given an honorary engineering doctorate for it). Read, and enjoy - and learn more about the awesome universe in which we live.

good gimmick,
By "mjdavis11" (Chester Springs, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
I'm sure some 'true blue' Star Trek fans will be disappointed that this book doesn't agree with all the 'science' used in Star Trek. Actually 'Star Trek' is only used as a jumping off point to talk about physics and possible advances of physics in the future. It also presents the other side, and will give the scientific reasons that some form of Star Trek technology (such as transporters) will probably never be possible. I thought the explanation of various scientific principles (usually related to something in Star Trek) were done well without being either condenscending or obtuse. I was actually surprised that the author (apparently a Start Trek fan) found that, for the most part, the scientific concepts used in Start Trek were generally more accurate than the usual SF TV show or movie. Usually the science in these shows is pretty bad. It appears that the Star Trek technical advisors have been doing their homework. I recommend this book to those interested in science and physics and are also familiar with Star Trek. The connection between the two makes the science more palatable and enjoyable.

Science can be fun (this from a high schooler),
By firstname.lastname@example.com (Bar Harbor, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Star Trek (Paperback)
I loved this book. It explained things in two hundred pages that twelve years worth of science teachers have failed at, and I'm no Trekkie. I assume it is physics in relatively simple terms, given that I could understand most of it, but I feel like a scientist now (did you know that quarks come in three colors?). Its the same idea as A Brief History of Time but easier to understand. Recommended for any curious resident of our universe.

At Weruva, we take all measures to ensure that our products promote the wellness of our pets. In a carefully monitored facitlity at the factory called "the cattery" nearly one-hundred rescued cats are fed our ingredients and examined daily. They are weighed before and after each meal, and a veterinarian checks on them twice a week. This process not only affirms that our products foster healthier lifestyles for cats, it assures the palatability and unparalleled taste of our formulas.
At Weruva, we do not believe in pet food descriptors such as "premium," "super premium" and "gourmet." According to the FDA, such terms "have no standard definition or regulatory meaning."* Moreover, pet foods containing such labels "are not required to contain any different or higher quality ingredients, nor are they held up to any higher nutritional than are any other complete and balanced products."
Accordingly, as we best describe our pet food as "elegant and sumptuous," we chose a word that means just that -- Luxe -- as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary. So give Weruva a try! We think your cats will find it Super Luxe as well!

Another great canned food from Weruva! I have 5 cats and when this is served, I always get back empty bowls that have been licked spotless. It's also one of the cool "fishy" choices from Weruva where every time you open a can there's a surprise. Fish heads, fish eyes, big chunks o' fish sides. . . you get the idea. Definitely not for the squeamish. ;-)

Pa. Treasury working to return $93,000 this Black History Month
Updated On: Feb 19 2014 10:46:31 AM CST
State officials say the Pa. Treasury is working to return thousands of dollars in unclaimed property to African American organizations and institutions.
State Treasurer Rob McCord says the department wants to return $93,000 in unclaimed funds to the rightful owners this February, which is Black History Month.
He's asked his team to identify the property that belongs to organizations like the NAACP, African Chamber of Commerce, Union of Black Episcopalians, National Society of Black Engineers and the United Negro College Fund.
The funds may also belong to historically African American institutions of higher education like Cheyney and Lincoln universities, along with fraternities and sororities.
"Our Return Team is eager to reunite these funds with the rightful owners so they can be used to continue improving the lives of and providing opportunities for African Americans across the Commonwealth," McCord said.
Groups can visit the Pa. Treasury web site to find out if any of the funds belong to them.
