CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- It's a controversial health issue: should parents get their child vaccinated against diseases like the mumps, measles, whooping cough, and follow a typical vaccination schedule?
Dr. Matthew Knight is an OSF Pediatrician in Morton. Dr. Knight says vaccines are scientifically safe and have been thoroughly studied in the medical field.
"The risk benefit of vaccinating children is clearly in favor of the benefit. The risks are very low," said Dr. Knight.
Risks include a low fever or a rash for roughly a week. As far as whether or not vaccines cause autism? He strongly disputes that.
"If you look internationally, the incidents of autism has not changed. When someone chooses not to immunize, not only are their children at risk for acquiring the disease but other children are, too," said Dr. Knight.
However, there's another side. Chiropractic Dr. Susan Mitchell in Bloomington has researched vaccines for over 15 years. She is against immunizing because of potential negative health impacts. Her evidence includes several studies done overseas on vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children.
"Vaccinated children had approximately 20 percent more asthma, 20 percent more allergies than their counterparts," said Dr. Mitchell.
She says parents need to be pro-active in educating themselves about what exactly is in a vaccine and potential consequences.
"When they come to me, they're frustrated because I tried to talk to my doctor about the aluminum and the doctor got upset and said there's no aluminum in the vaccines when it states clearly on the insert that aluminum hydroxide is in the vaccine," said Dr. Mitchell.
The issue is so controversial, we have received dozens of comments on our Facebook page along with many e-mails.
Sherrie Lynn Dixon said, "I have gotten all four of my children their shots from the time they were born up until now and one has grown up and doing it with my grandson now."
Dawn Ray Marlyere posted, "Vaccines are worthless and only injecting unneeded poisons into people's bodies. I see it like this, if you're so sure those vaccines are protecting your child, then it should do just fine to protect against my unvaccinated child period."
The immunization issue is so controversial, even those educated about the vaccines cannot come to an agreement on their safety.

PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Amy Herzog, the Playwright of The Great God Pan and Belleville
By Robert Simonson
Amy Herzog's praised new play The Great God Pan ends its extended run at Playwrights Horizons Jan. 13, but her Belleville is in the wings at New York Theatre Workshop's home downtown. We got a few minutes with her.
Winning streaks such as the one now being enjoyed by Amy Herzog are rare in playwriting. The thirtysomething Yale grad broke out last season with the extended run 4,000 Miles at Lincoln Center Theater. Her first play of the current New York season, The Great God Pan, about a journalist named Jamie who begins to remember being molested as a child, was greeted with sumptuous praise upon opening at Playwrights Horizons, and Belleville, which won laurels at Yale Rep last year, will open at New York Theatre Workshop in a few weeks time. Her plays are largely marked by a warm-hearted naturalism and a feeling for character that places personality ahead of plot. Herzog talked to Playbill.com as she prepared to close one play and begin rehearsals on another.
When did you write The Great God Pan?
Was it a commission?
Oh — are they going to do it some time?
What was the germ of the idea that made you start writing this play?
I must say I related to the character, Jamie, because I used to think I had a good memory, but now I've become convinced I have a terrible one.
People are always freaking me out by coming up to me and telling me about incidents and conversation in the past that I have no recollection of.
Yes, usually it's a good story, so you wonder, "Why didn't I remember that?"
But I guess that's a lot of what the play is about: what you remember and what you don't.
And it's not just Jamie. It's true of every character in the play.
The characters are all learning about people they thought they knew. And it turns out they're missing critical chapters in those people's stories.
What was the first scene you wrote?
Any reason you decided to make the protagonist a man instead of a woman?
Do you want people to think of this as a topical play, or is that too limiting in relation to what you wanted to create?
Are there other plays that have touched on the topic of memory that have affected you?
Well, in that play we're basically relying on the memory of one man who is talking about a milieu he was in but wasn't terribly sympathetic towards. Do you have an overall sense of purpose as to what you want to accomplish as a playwright, what you think a playwright should do, what kind of plays you hope to write?
You do seem to write good characters for actors to sink their teeth in.
The poem that gives The Great God Pan its title — any reason why you decided to include that and make that the play's title?

is THE teen movie of the 80s and it stands firmly in the #1 slot
at Like Totally 80s. It stands out in part because it was not
done by John Hughes and therefore has a completely different
feel and a refreshingly different cast from the other brat pack
movies of the time. In fact, Valley Girl is the first starring
role for Nicolas Cage (Randy) (reason enough to watch and enjoy
this movie). His co-star, Deborah Foreman, plays Julie Richman,
a girl from the valley that falls for a punk guy from Hollywood
(Randy). Their friends don't understand (hers mostly) and she
struggles to fit in while still seeing Randy. This aspect of the
plot has a Romeo & Juliet feel, only valley-style fur sure.
Julie and Randy's eyes meet for the
first time on the beach where clothes and styles are not present to
define who they are, where they are from, or what group they belong to.
They see each other and connect. They then run into each other later
that night at a Val party that Randy and his friend Fred decide the
crash. Randy and Fred get kicked out of the party mostly due to jealousy
from Julie's ex-boyfriend (Tommy, played by Michael Bowen) that she
dumped earlier that day at the mall. "Like, I'm so not in love with you
anymore, Tommy. It's so boring." (said while handing him back his ID
bracelet – how 80s). Randy won't be told "who he can score with" and
goes back to the party, sneaking in an upstairs bathroom window and
waiting in the shower until Julie finally comes in to use the bathroom.
He convinces her to leave the party with him and thus begins their first
date – a trip into "Holly-weird" complete with live music by the
They fall for each other and their relationship develops
largely during a movie montage set to the very awesome Modern English
song, "I
Melt With You." However, the pressure from her friends finally
becomes too much and she dumps Randy to go back with Tommy. The rest of
the movie consists of Randy trying to win her back and culminates (80s
teen movie style) in his getting the girl and the better of Tommy at the
The dialogue, accents, clothes and music
in this film are dead on. Toss in the really sweet story and interesting
sub-plots (the competition between Suzie and her mom for hunky Skip) and
you have all the makings of a classic. The language is a time capsule
for the valley girl language and speech patterns: "He's, like, soooo
bitchin'," and "like, he's got the bod, but his brains are bad news."
The opening scene has the four girls shopping at the Sherman Oaks
Galleria – this is a great way to see the fashion trends in 1983: piano
keys tops, saddle oxfords shoes, patent leather pumps, colored and
layered bracelets.
And, the music. Valley Girl has a great
(or should we say bitchin') soundtrack. Although, the soundtrack
was not created originally with the movie; it was released much later
than the movie in response to demand. Below is a sampling of the songs
in the movie. This mix is available as the unofficial soundtrack done by
Rhino records. One obvious omission from this list is Eddy Grant's
Electric Avenue (played during the party at Suzie's house where Randy
and Julie first meet).

Many of us don't understand it; some even fear it. Science, however, is responsible for virtually everything we have in some way, shape or form.
If we want to continue to grow and improve, we need to encourage our youngest generation to embrace science, innovation and rational thought.
One small example of what I mean was on display last weekend, when local junior high students traveled to a regional Science Olympiad competition, showcasing their knowledge and skills. Since there were no real reporters there, only me, I thought I would share some of the event's highlights.
As an aside, playing They Might Be Giants' CD "Here Comes Science" on a continuous loop is a tremendous way to psych up a junior science competitor on a two-hour drive to Potsdam.
The song "I Am a Paleontologist" will stick in your head for days, however. Oh yes it will, oh yes it will, oh yes it will.
I have to say that in one short afternoon, I was astounded to find out how much I just don't know. For instance, apparently, wizardry and science are two completely different things. Huh. Meteorology is not the study of meteors. And Pluto isn't a planet anymore?
I also discovered that Science Olympians do not like being called nerds or geeks. If you insult them in such a way, they will not punch you in the nose or give you a wedgie. No. They will program your car alarm to play "I Am a Paleontologist" at 3 a.m. They will use your DNA to implicate you in the death of Hugo Chavez. They will dissolve your underwear with sonic vibrations.
Some of the events at the Science Olympiad were closed to the prying eyes of parents. Others, though, were open for everyone to see, and there was a lot of interesting stuff going on.

Jon Kyl on Civil Rights
Republican Jr Senator (AZ; retiring 2012)
- the flag of the US is a unique symbol of national unity...
- the Bill of Rights should not be amended in a manner that could be interpreted to restrict freedom...
- abuse of the flag causes more than pain and distress... and may amount to fighting words...
- destruction of the flag of the US can be intended to incite a violent response rather than make a political statement and such conduct is outside the protections afforded by the first amendment to the Constitution.
Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.
The amendment is about how we are going to raise the next generation. It is not an issue that the courts should resolve. Those of us who support this amendment are doing so in an effort to let the people decide.
Supporters rail against activist judges. But if this vaguely worded amendment ever passes, it will result in substantial litigation. What are the legal incidents of marriage? Is a civil union a marriage?

OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 HRC scores as follows:
The Human Rights Campaign represents a grassroots force of more than 700,000 members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, HRC envisions an America where GLBT people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.
Ever since its founding in 1980, HRC has led the way in promoting fairness for GLBT Americans. HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 NAACP scores as follows:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has worked over the years to support and promote our country's civil rights agenda. Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to end racial discrimination while also ensuring the political, social, and economic equality of all people. The Association will continue this mission through its policy initiatives and advocacy programs at the local, state, and national levels. From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission by the Congress:<
Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.

Through innovative programs and partnerships, Habitat reaches more families—and changes more futures—in Madagascar and Lesotho
By Teresa K. Weaver
The shadows of twilight overtake children at play in Maseru East, Lesotho. Habitat is working to find housing solutions for Maseru's orphans and vulnerable children.
Africa, home to the vast majority of the world's extreme poverty, is the fastest urbanizing region in the world, with an average annual growth rate of 3.71 percent. People are moving from rural areas to cities in search of a better life, but most arrive with little money or job training. Most end up living in slums.
Of the 42 million people worldwide who are living with HIV/AIDS, 70 percent are in sub-Saharan Africa. And of the 15 million children worldwide who have lost one or both of their parents to AIDS, 11.6 million of them live in sub-Saharan Africa, according to UNAIDS.
"The numbers almost lose their meaning when they get that big," says Matthew Maury, former area vice president for Habitat for Humanity International's Africa/Middle East office.
Working in 19 A/ME countries, Habitat has served more than 59,000 families. Staff and volunteers respond to complex crises with innovative programs that stay true to the core mission of providing safe, decent, affordable shelter—while also targeting the critical realities on the ground.
In the photographs and stories that follow, we visit two groundbreaking projects: an urban slum upgrade led by Habitat Madagascar that includes the construction of basic infrastructure along with single-family homes and a Habitat Lesotho project to build homes for households containing orphaned and vulnerable children.
"New Beginnings" and "Looking after the Least of These"
A short drive from the congested district surrounding Lesotho's capital of Maseru, two new block homes connected by a breezeway are being prepared to provide safe, healthy shelter for 16 children who have been living in a garbage dump.
"I believe 20 years from now, these children are going to be in positions that matter," says Shadrack Mutembei, national director of Habitat Lesotho. "They're going to be key to the development of Lesotho."
Even in such moments of triumph, though, there is sadness. When these 16 children finally move from a garbage dump to a home, more than a dozen others will be left behind.
"We're trying to find a way to help them, too," Mutembei says. "We're trying."

decision problem
<theory> A problem with a yes/no answer. Determining whether some potential solution to a question is actually a solution or not. E.g. "Is 43669" a prime number?". This is in contrast to a "search problem" which must find a solution from scratch, e.g. "What is the millionth prime number?".

News: Nicki Minaj Gets Big Willy Love, "I'm The Newest Member Of The Family!"
Sunday, Nov 6, 2011 10:33AM
Young Money star Nicki Minaj now has another crew to call her own after getting recruited to appear in power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's pop star daughter Willow Smith's "Fireball" music video.
Hopping on Twitter over the weekend, Nicki showed an on-set photo with the Smith family.
"Video Shoot," she tweeted Saturday (November 6).
"I'm the Fire Ball of the party. Pauz http://lockerz.com/s/153719101"
"The entire Smith family >>>>>>>>"
"I'm the newest member of the family! Lmaoooooo. How cute are they barbz???? Willow goin ham in the video.http://lockerz.com/s/153728773" (Nicki Minaj's Twitter)
The video shoot is reportedly taking place in Los Angeles.
Nicki Minaj added some fuel to Willow Smith's "Fireball" video shoot on Saturday (Nov. 5). The Harajuku Barbie got dolled up in a curly pink wig, her signature Barbie chain, and a short dress made of stuffed animals, while shooting the clip with the 11-year-old pop star in Los Angeles. (Rap-Up)
Their duet hit the Internet in early October.
Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj unleash their "Fireball". It's a new duet song recorded for the "Whip My Hair" hitmaker's upcoming debut album. Like what she did in her chart-busting debut single, the pint-sized singer shows off her fun, sassy side while at the same time staying true to her age. "I'm the fireball of the party. I'm the fire, I'm the fireball of the party," 10-year-old Willow kicks in the heavy-bass banger. "Watch the fire burn. Burn. Watch me heat it up." Nicki then joins her by throwing some playful verses, "You're real major even though you're a minor/ Your daddy keep you in designer." (Ace Showbiz)
Last year, Nicki had prerecorded vocals featured on Smith's "Whip My Hair" hit single remix.
Duets don't come much more 2010 than this. Yes, someone up above was listening to Popdash's dreams these past few months and has made the ultimate cartoon pop duet happen. That's right. Nicki Minaj has hopped out oh her Willy Wonka coloured tank and put a verse down on the first official 'Whip My Hair' remix. Rapping about her school days, playing Double Dutch in the yard Nicki brings her usual A-List rhymes and unbeatable character to a song already burting with swagger and attitude. (Pop Dash)

Recently, we sat down and chatted with Levi Damien, managing editor of Silver and Black Pride, for some insight into what to expect from the Oakland Raiders in tonight's contest versus the Chicago Bears. Big thanks to Levi for his time!
WCG: Al Davis was an old school football guy, and despite criticisms, ran his club HIS way. He was a pioneer for pro football. How has the culture changed since his passing?
Levi: Al Davis had several tenets that he was known for. He loved overdrafting speed, man-cover corners, and spending any amount of money on the players he thought were worth getting or keeping. He didn't pay much mind to a player's character as long as he thought they could play.
The new regime puts a high priority on character, thinks talent trumps speed, runs a more zone style defense, and will pass up on any player if they want more than they're willing or able to pay. They also won't mortgage the future for the sake of going all in each season.
WCG: What are the biggest strengths and weaknesses on the offensive side of the ball for 2013?
Levi: Strengths on offense... wow... um, Marcel Reece? Weaknesses on offense, probably just about everything else. But the passing game could manage to surprise with Matt Flynn, Denarius Moore, Rod Streater, and Jacoby Ford if he can stay on the field.
WCG: What about on defense?
Levi: Strengths on defense will be the secondary and the linebackers. Both groups are very deep and have some potential to play very well. Weakness on defense is the defensive line. About the only really good player on the defensive line is Lamarr Houston and he can't do it by himself. He just might have to.
WCG: Who are some under-the-radar players that we might not know about that could make a significant splash this season?
Levi: Second year undrafted wide receiver Rod Streater became a starter late last season and looks to emerge as the Raiders' top target. A young hopeful to watch for would be round 6 WR Brice Butler. He has earned some time with the first team and if given a chance, he could make some plays.
WCG: What is your overall outlook on the Raiders 2013 season, and how far away are they from being a legitimate threat in the AFC?
Levi: Overall outlook not good. Legitimate threat not soon.

PEORIA, Ill. -- More than 1,500 motorcyclists rumbled through downtown Peoria on Saturday to kick off the Budweiser Grand Nationals Weekend on the Peoria Riverfront.
"This ride today is the biggest that I have seen," said Germantown Hills rider, Ralph Farris. "Last year it was raining so that kept a few people away. Every year it looks like it is getting bigger and bigger because we're starting to get more people to ride."
"Everybody that has a bike loves to be in the parade," said Peoria rider, Joann Getz. "It's a fun thing, it's a good time and we have fun doing it."
The parade and festivities serve as a precursor to Sunday's 66th Annual Grand National Motorcycle Races held at PMC Park in Bartonville.
Riders on Saturday each contributed $15 to participate in the parade.
The parade was not only a fun time for riders, for many it was another way to use their hot rod to support a good cause.
A portion of their parade entry fee will benefit The Downed Riders Association, which helps cover medical expenses for pro-motorcycle racers.
"The biker racing doesn't quite have the insurances that NASCAR has, so we contribute to that," said event coordinator, Jay Goldberg.
For Washington rider Rex Heard the parade was just one of his contributions for the day.
"This is the biggest one," said Heard. "It's the biggest one of the year. I actually have a couple poker runs to go on today. There is one right after the other, but this is definitely the biggest one of the year for me."
The celebration on the riverfront lasts through Sunday.
The professional motorcycle practice heats begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday at PMC Race Park.

Tericka Paul & Ashley Picard
"iCan Through iNquiry" is Paul's innovative program idea designed to foster an inquisitive love for learning in science, mathematics and technology. With the hands-on activity science tubs and themed libraries, students will have an abundance of science tools to produce experiments and explore science across the curriculum. Through a variety of scientific experiments, students will use critical thinking skills, gather information or data, and apply their knowledge universally. Through an inquiry-based curriculum, students will be able to use their five senses to create hands-on investigations that are designed to foster a love for learning and an eagerness to solve problems. They will move beyond just gathering information and facts to actually applying, explaining, and showing others what they have learned. Technology, such as a Promethean Activ Table, will promote a collaborative learning environment. Ashley Picard will be implementing the project at the school and she hopes to provide a relevant and cumulative framework for effective learning through inquiry with her program.

The Browns handled the Lions with ease on Thursday night in a 24-6 win. Brandon Weeden played well for the second week in a row. Weeden was 8/12 passing for 117 yards and two touchdowns. His rating was 137.8.
Trent Richardson logged his first career preseason game and did well, he rumbled for 33 yards on six carries. Jordan Cameron caught both Weeden touchdown passes and finished with 42 yards receiving on three catches. Josh Gordon hauled in three passes for a team-high 72 yards.
Injuries played a big part in the game for Cleveland. First round pick Barkevious Mingo is spending the night in the hospital with a bruised lung. At first it was announced that he only had bruised ribs and his return was questionable. After the game reporters learned it was more significant.
Dion Lewis and Jason Pinkston were also dinged. Lewis has a fractured fibula and is expected to miss some time. Pinkston went down with an ankle injury.
The team should know more about all of the injuries on Friday.

While reading a fairly recent physics textbook I found a detailed discussion of fictitious or inertial forces. The textbook is PHYSICS For Scientists & Engineers, Third Edition, by Raymond Serway, James Madison University, Copyrights 1990, 1986, and 1982, Saunders Golden Sunburst Series, Saunders College Publishing, Philadelphia, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 89-043325.
This is not meant to be a criticism of a book that is excellent in many ways and must have been a great challenge to write. It is still being used in teaching undergraduate physics. I use it only as an example of some prevalent ideas on the subject of inertial forces and inconsistencies rising from those ideas.
Section 6.3, MOTION IN ACCELERATED FRAMES, begins on page 135. According to Serway, an observer in an accelerating frame of reference must invoke fictitious forces (aka inertial forces) if he would use Newton's second law in his accelerated reference frame. Serway then claims that the invented forces appear real in the accelerated frame but are not forces resulting from interaction between the body and its environment, and therefore are not real forces. Serways claim in a positive form gives us a DEFINITION: A real force is one that results from the interaction of a body and its environment.
On page 136 Serway presents EXAMPLE 6.5 Linear Accelerometer. In that example a ball is suspended by a cord as a non-oscillating pendulum in a railroad boxcar that is accelerating, as illustrated by Figure 6.11(a). In order that we can see what is going on inside the boxcar, the facing side of the car has been removed. An arrow over the boxcar points rightward, indicating the direction of motion and acceleration. An observer stands upright on the ground near the tracks. The illustration depicts the cord displaced from the vertical by an angle theta (the ball to the left of the vertical from the point of suspension), the tension in the cord (T), and the downward gravitational force on the ball (mg). The observer sees the acceleration of the ball and boxcar to be the same and deduces that the horizontal component of tension (T) produces the acceleration, and that the vertical component of T balances the ball's weight. I do not believe that the omission of the horizontal component of T in that figure was an accidental oversight.
Immediately beneath Figure 6.11 (a) is Figure 6.11 (b), which depicts the same boxcar and suspended ball. An observer is now inside in the front of the boxcar, facing the rear, standing upright with arms and hands at sides, and looking at the suspended ball. The angle theta is the same. The horizontal component of T is labeled -ma and directed leftward from the ball.
For that second illustration Serway states that for the noninertial passenger in the car the sphere is at rest and there is no acceleration. That is why, writes Serway, the observer invokes fictitious force -ma to counter T's horizontal component, and thinks there is zero net force on the ball (italics his). Serway states that the interpretation of the situation is different in each of the two reference frames.
I suspect that Serway has not had daily experience commuting to work by rail. If he did, he certainly would know that anyone standing vertically with feet together and not holding on to anything will fall down in an accelerating railroad car. I do not believe the depicted position of that observer to be an accidental oversight or mistake. Were the observer to assume a spread-legs (in line with the direction of acceleration) braced position leaning forward (at about the angle theta), the observer would not fall over and would feel, resist, and know that there is a force of acceleration to be taken into account. Because it is well known that acceleration forces will move anything not secured in a boxcar, crates of heavy loads are often nailed to the wooden floors of boxcars to avoid damage to boxcar or contents.
Since in both illustrations the boxcar and track are horizontal we must assume that the engine pulling the train is producing the acceleration. That acceleration results from horizontal force generated through contact of the engine's drive wheels with the track. Couplings between the engine and subsequent cars transmit that force. The magnitude of that force is the product of the total mass of the train (and its contained objects) multiplied by the acceleration. Components of the train and the objects transported by the train (including observers) experience the same acceleration and, hence, a force in proportion to their individual masses.
Now although we might correctly think that acceleration of the train produces forces on its contents and passengers, we would be wrong to think that the acceleration of the train produces the motivating force in its engine. Clearly, it must be the engine that produces the force to accelerate the train and its contents. Equally clearly, if a reference frame containing one or more bodies is accelerating, forces are being applied to those bodies. Acceleration without force violates Newtons second law. The notion of an accelerating reference frame devoid of mass bodies is meaningless. Only mass bodies can accelerate.
As with the train, the force causing acceleration of a reference frame is simultaneously applied to all objects in the reference frame. Because the source of that force is external to the bodies in the reference frame, that force is a part of the environment of those bodies. Therefore, observed forces on bodies in an accelerating reference frame do result from interaction between such bodies and their environment and, by the definition of a real force given above, those observed forces are real. The force that accelerates a reference frame is often a forgotten force.
Once the force that accelerates a reference frame is taken into account the apparent difference between an inertial and noninertial reference frame disappears. Observers in either reference frame find the same forces affecting the accelerometer. By not 'forgetting' the force created by the engine there is no need for postulating a 'fictitious force.'
If the accelerometer consisted, instead, of a vertically immobile, horizontal, helical compression spring, fastened at one end to the rear wall of the boxcar, and with a weight on the free end, both observers would see that the spring was compressed from its rest position. Both would recognize that a real force compressed the spring. They would recognize that the compressive force on the spring originated with the force on the train and its contents. By attaching a pointer to the free end of the spring and a calibrated scale behind the pointer and by then substituting various known weights either observer could verify Newton's second law, f=ma, without invoking fictitious forces. Note that the same device could be used to measure static forces where there is no acceleration.
On page 136 Serway presents EXAMPLE 6.9 Fictitious Force in a Rotating System. Two side by side illustrations depict a rotating turntable with a mass connected to the center of the table by a cord in figure 6.12. Illustration (a) has an observer standing next to the turntable, while illustration (b) has the observer in a reclining position along a radius on the turntable. We are subliminally asked to believe that the observer in (b) cannot feel, and need not resist, any force acting on him. According to Serway, that observer therefore invents a fictitious outward force mv²/2 (and calls it centrifugal force) to balance the force of tension in the cord.
Let us now imagine that the spring-and-weight force indicator is taken from the boxcar and fastened to the edge of the turntable, with the free end and weight resting on the turntable. Two opposing forces, at either end of the spring, would again compress the spring. The forces at the two ends of the spring would be designated centripetal force and centrifugal force by both observers. The observer as depicted on the turntable, without much source of centripetal force, would have to exert some effort to resist being thrown off the turntable.
There are amusement park turntable rides like that. Once the very smooth wooden turntable starts turning, almost everyone slides off. Few can position their exact center of gravity over the exact center of the turntable. If someone were to apply a pair of suction cups with handles to the turntable and hold on to the handles until the turntable reaches its steady angular velocity, the person would feel as if hanging from the rings in a gym and fighting against gravity. In that case, however, it would be centrifugal force being fought by the persons centripetal force.
As with the linearly accelerating reference frame, the notion of an empty rotating frame is meaningless. Only the bodies in a rotating reference frame do the rotating. In the case of the rotating reference frame the force that has been forgotten is the force that put everything in that frame into rotation, creating their angular momentum, kinetic energy of rotation, and capability to exert forces on objects introduced into that reference frame.
Regarding the observer in the accelerating boxcar Serway wrote, in a disparaging sense, that the observer thought there was zero net force on the ball. According to Newtons third law, for every force there is always an equal and opposite force. That law followed to its logical conclusion means that no matter how many forces act on a body, for each one there is always an equal and opposite force; and, therefore, the net force acting on any body is always zero. Surely Serway did not intend to slight Newtons third law; however, that is what can inadvertently happen if one forgets the inertial force exerted by a body against an external force causing it to accelerate.
On page 816, Serway prepares to derive the circular orbital radius of a charged particle in a magnetic field. He writes, Since the resultant force F in the radial direction has the magnitude of qvB, we can equate this to the required centrifugal force, which is the mass m multiplied by the centripetal acceleration v²/r. At last centrifugal force becomes required and real, has a formula, and is equal and in opposition to centripetal force.

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — The fourth annual Ferdinand Folk Festival will be Sept. 21 and feature critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Todd Snider.
Snider will be joined on the folk festival's main stage by The Dirty Guv'nahs (Knoxville, Tenn.), the Boscoe France Band (Madisonville, Ky.), Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys (Ann Arbor, Mich.), The Carper Family (Austin, Texas), Opal Fly & the Swatters (Evansville), and Bethany Boeglin (Ferdinand).
The Ferdinand Folk Festival is an earth-friendly and family-friendly event promoting music, the arts, and the environment. It is a free-to-attend event and is in Ferdinand's 18th Street Park. Visitors will experience a variety of music from both the main and market stages. Close to both stages, the market area features local artists and artisans displaying and selling their work, while groups dedicated to creating vibrant communities and a sustainable environment will provide education on a variety of topics.
New additions to this year's fest include a completely revamped group of activities for children. These activities include, but aren't limited to: the Big Bounce Fun House Play Town (a series of inflatables, a double bungee trampoline, airbrush tattoos, rentable Segways, and miniature train rides), storytelling, a couple of magic shows, an interactive presentation from Lincoln State Park, and family folk dancing.
Also new this year and oerating in conjunction with the Ferdinand Folk Festival is the first Ferdinand Folk Fest Fondo, a two-day recreational bicycling event designed to entertain all levels of bicyclists. It is held through the rolling hills of Dubois County with forays into Perry and Spencer counties. The routes and distances were designed to be welcoming to novice cyclists and challenging for the experienced riders. The event starts and finishes at the Monastery Immaculate Conception sitting high atop the town of Ferdinand.
The Folk Jammers, who have been on board since the Ferdinand Folk Festival's inception, will again play host to novice and skilled musicians for their all-day-long open jam sessions. Main stage musicians The Carper Family will hold an interactive "How to Harmonize" workshop, and there will be a variety of food vendors on hand, along with approximately 60 art and environmental vendors.

Matt's primary interest is in the biotech industry and ag policy.
By Matt Bogard
A recent story on National Public Radio ( link) gives an overview of a subfield of economics called behavioral economics. Behavioral economics incorporates elements of psychology into economic theory. Some people believe that behavioral economics will improve economic models because it makes a correction for what they believe are errors in the assumptions of classical economics. As a result many people have come to think that behavioral economics may even justify the unprecedented amount of government intervention in the economy and improve our lives.
First, I would say that the term 'behavioral economics' is very misleading from the start. I don't doubt that there may be ways that concepts from psychology could improve certain aspects of economic models. However, a better term would be psychological economics, cognitive economics, or psychonomics. Economics in general is the study of choices, and how they are made compatible in a world of scarce resources. It is already all about behavior. To name a subfield 'behavioral economics' is redundant and confusing.
Secondly, a major criticism of classical economics is the assumption that people are perfectly rational and perfectly informed. As the article states:

T: Very light with very little flavor. I love ginger and the spicier the better, so I am always on the lookout for any new ginger beers, especially alcoholic ginger beers. Watery with just a stale ginger flavor and only a hint of that characteristic ginger spice on the backend. I realize this brew is old, but I don't see it tasting much better. This is like the pale ale version of a ginger beer.

Appearance: Clear, golden, looks quite carbonated. Doesn't produce an impressive head; it disappears quickly.
Aroma: Certainly smells of ginger, but not too strongly, the citrus is also there; fresh.
Taste: A Surprisingly strong ginger flavour. The ginger hides most of the citrus, but it's there. Sweet aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: The ginger taste lingers and finds its way to the back of mouth, otherwise light.
Overall: Not a very 'beery' beer, mostly due to the strong ginger, but also due to complete lack of hops I think. I've had a few alcoholic ginger beers (I have fond memories of the house beer at the Ginger Man in NYC — very drinkable but not as gingery as this one). It's a good beer, not afraid to give you the full tang of ginger. Also manages to be quite flavoursome for such low alcohol content. Williams does some very nice beers, I'm always up for trying a new one from them. I acquired this one from Stockmann Herkku in Helsinki, Finland.

i think this must be the same beer w a new label. says, "Scottish Ginger". Underneath this, it says, "Ale with ginger and lemon juice". Much better than, "alcoholic ginger ale". Like I need to be reminded that I'm an alcoholic.
Anyways... pour is dark gold with a white head that fades quickly and leaves no lace. nose is ginger (lots of ginger), grain (almost like the scent of a road in the middle of a grain field after a good rain), lemon, and lemonade/sweet lemon. like the nose suggests, the taste is sweet, lemony ginger with a grainy, malty sweet backbone. everything is separate and defined, but everything blends and harmonizes well. medium-light body that isn't sticky, although it is very sweet. simple, interesting, refreshing and fun. not too gingery, but there is a long, gingery, spicy-hot finish. a true session beer at 4%abv. quite fun for a ginger lover.

A - Pours into glass a tender yellow - water-soaked straw with thin head mostly around the edges of the glass.
S - Ginger, as one would expect, also soft drink soda aromas, damp earth and hay. The overall scents are very pleasing I have to say! The herb and natural essence aromas are supremely realised.
T - Ginger, lemon and earthiness are the predominate features, yet also here is citrus fruit & peel, light malt, topped with a light, wholesome spiciness on the finish. A little over-sweet for my personal tastes.
M - Soda! Thin and foamy, perhaps a bit so for my tastes (not a fan of soft drinks), medium carbonation, quite sweet overall.
O - If you like ginger ale I think you will really like it, but for the rest of us, nice to try, but I wouldn't drink regularly if I'm honest. It's good for what it is!

Looks like a lighter lager with a crisp white head that foams and disappears. Smell is assertive spicy ginger and mild grains.
Expecting sweeter and more soda-like, this is a happy surprise: spicy hot ginger warms the mouth and throat with enough carbonation to delight. Sugar and lemon added in the brewing neither over-sweetens or over-sours.
Mouthfeel is light, like soda, like the dry ginger ale that mimics it.
Highly drinkable and a welcome alternative to soft drinks or even a mixed drink. Would like ot try accompanying a fiery Indian or Thai meal. Well done.

A - Golden pale, a small head that dissappears quickly and leaves a still loking beer no lacing at all.
S - Ginger, Ginger, Ginger bit of sugar and Lemon
T - Upfront, crisp firey ginger and light lemon, a bit of malt (and ginger) in the middle then all ginger and warmth at the end. I like ginger and di dlike this but as it is quite one dimentional can't give it much higher of a rating. But lot's flavor and a low alc%
MD - Very smooth, much more than other "gingerbeers" that are more like soda. The Carbonation is perfect and this is very refreshing. If it were a summer afternoon I may want more.
If you like ginger, this is the best one I have ever had! it is a real beer brewed with malted Barley and malted wheat where others are really just alcoholic Soda's. My mother in law also loved it.

Today is Friday the 13th.
It also marks four years with my partner in crime.
Together we've backpacked Belize, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, and Peru and driven all the way across America. We've run a half marathon, a Warrior Dash, and skied together (though that mostly consisted of him scooping me out of the snow repeatedly...). He's gone out in the middle of the night for hours in search of a fugitive Mish because he knew I'd worry (and maybe because Mish loves him a little bit more than me - little traitor...). I've put up with endless "Want some bacon?" jokes, and he's been my guinea pig for lots of "experimental" vegetarian recipes. He's my toughest Boggle competitor and biggest supporter in anything I do - even when I ask him to take endless pictures for the blog or hang on just a little bit longer while I get the frosting on the cupcakes just right before a party.
The past four years have been wonderful, and I'm looking forward to all the rest!

News & Events
In his keynote address for GLBTA Pride Center's annual Rainbow Luncheon, Keith Boykin, activist and editor of The Daily Voice, discussed his life, gay rights issues and ways to initiate change.
Mr. Boykin said all societal issues, such as homophobia, racism and sexism, are rooted in fear, which teaches people to hate and oppress certain populations and hide their own identities.
"We live in a world where fear governs so much of our actions, so much of our behavior, so much of who we are and who we feel free to be," he said in his talk, "One More River to Cross: Black and Gay in America."
People frequently overcome that fear, he said, through one-on-one interactions -- by loving, conversing and debating with one another. "Change happens on a microscopic level every day, when we don't have the fear to just be who we are," he said.
The luncheon was held in the campus center's large ballroom.
Mr. Boykin talked about his time as a law student at Harvard University in the early 1990s, where he came out as a gay man and got involved in a diversity coalition that fought against discrimination on the university's campus. After they took Harvard to court for discrimination, and lost, the institution began to employ more women, homosexuals and people of color. Mr. Boykin has been an outspoken advocate for gay and civil rights since then.
"There is progress that's possible if we're willing to work for it and fight for it," he said. "It doesn't necessarily happen immediately, but it does happen."
Mr. Boykin served in the White House as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton. He is a CNBC contributor, a BET TV host and a New York Times best-selling author of three books, One More River to Cross (1997), Respecting the Soul (1999), Beyond the Down Low (2004).

In his welcome remarks, President Dana Mohler-Faria stressed the importance of BSU hosting the Rainbow Luncheon and other events that celebrate diversity. "One of the things that are important to us to have a community that is focused and built around respect and dignity, the opportunity to learn from each other and to embrace each other," he said.
Additionally, Dr. David Ostroth, vice president for student affairs, and student Lou Johnson were presented with the Rainbow Pride Awards for their outstanding contributions to the GLBT community. (Rob Matheson, '07, University Advancement; videos by Moakley TV Studio)
