The aim of /r/Physics is to build a subreddit frequented by physicists, scientists, and those with a passion for physics. Papers from physics journals (free or otherwise) are encouraged. Posts should be pertinent, meme-free, and generate a discussion about physics. Please report trolls and intentionally misleading comments.
Elementary and conceptual questions
Questions of the kind found in /r/AskScience are welcome in our weekly Physics Questions thread and in /r/AskPhysics but individual posts in /r/Physics will be removed.
Open-ended discussions such as on /r/AskScienceDiscussion may have their own individual posts.
Check the /r/AskScience FAQ or the Usenet physics FAQ before posting.
Homework problems
Questions that are specific homework problems or calculations should be redirected to /r/AskPhysics or /r/HomeworkHelp. Alternatively, try Physics Forums instead.
Careers questions
Questions regarding job opportunities and working as a physicist have a dedicated weekly Careers and Education thread and should be posted there.
Additionally, you can search the subreddit to read dozens of past threads about this issue or check /r/AskAcademia for jobs in academia.
Education questions
Inquiries about studying physics should be posted in our weekly Careers and Education thread.
Alternatively, try more specific subreddits such as /r/AskAcademia, /r/GradSchool, /r/GradAdmissions, and /r/PhysicsStudents.
Science journalism
No sensationalist titles are allowed, and the title of your submission should accurately reflect its contents. If in doubt, use the title of the original research.
Articles and blog post submissions require proper sourcing from the literature or mainstream scientific journalism. The lack of quality sources is grounds for removal at moderator discretion.
Unscientific content
/r/Physics is a place for the discussion of valid and testable science, not pet theories and speculation presented as fact. We aim to be a welcoming place for both academics as well as the general public, and as such posts with no basis in the current understanding of physics are not allowed as they might serve to misinform.
Images and meme posts
Image-only posts should be on-topic and should promote discussion. Memes, rage comics, image macros, reaction gifs, or otherwise "zero-content" submissions are not allowed.
Consider posting to /r/PhysicsJokes, /r/PhysicsGifs or /r/ScienceImages instead.
Please make sure that a submission on the same topic has not been posted already. New findings are always reported by multiple publications, and the fact that a specific link has not been submitted does not mean that this topic is not already being discussed on /r/Physics. Feel free to provide links to additional sources in the comment section instead.

Hey, speaking as a Brit that went from A-levels to top UK university the jump was a fair one. Started with special relativity, then some mechanics which rehashed some stuff from Further Maths A level, though not so much from Physics A level. It was a pretty tough year sometimes, but not as bad as the second year!

We are enjoying it immensely. Go figure that John would love Ohio winters after spending his life in sunny California.

Well, this is really an interesting discovery. If found that light plays an crucial role in obesity then it can definitely be useful to corpulence people and also to people willing to reduce their body weight.
I lost 15 pounds in 4.5 months this summer by moving my main meal from supper to lunch. I now eat a substantial breakfast, a protein shake at noon, "dinner" around 2pm or 3pm, then just a fruit salad or green salad in evening, so I don't go to bed hungry. I've always exercised and eaten mostly fruit, vegies, meat, fish, beans, and limited whole grains; while avoiding processed foods. But at 48 my weight had crept up and I needed to do something further. When I told a friend from France she said, "Of course! That is how the French eat!" She's thin.
I can't believe you missed the chance:
Does Dark Make You Lighter ?
Elvis is a classic example of this 'obese' syndrome. He was the quintessential "night owl", sleeping during the day & staying up all nite, every nite, during his halycon days. So by age forty he was bloated & fat & by forty-two, fatter & dead, of multiple causes - obesity being one of 'em..
When my wife asks if a particular pair of pants makes her butt look big, I always reply 'No, it's that box of Oreos you ate that makes your butt look big.' We've been married a long time now, and I can get away with things like that.
Big Macs make you fat. Light may exacerbate that, but in the end it's what you eat that makes you fat or not fat. Eat a salad, lights on or off.
It is the FEAR & the Stress (of the dark?) that increases the consumption & Obesity...A healthy Mind is the basis of a healthy Body.
When the mice were up late were they given a TV to watch sports, and did the researchers put beer in the water supply and cheetos in the food bin? That might have skewed the results, but would have created a better human analogue.
That room decor kills my appetite. I'd have to turn off the lights to eat.
So the question is: Are blind people around the word slimmer? If this is the case the next step will be to link obesity with street light density around the word. But in no way Japan as a country is darker than Mexico but Japanese people are slimmer. I don't think light is the principal offender in the obesity problem.
Whilst wealthy nationalities worry how to shed the pounds off, people less lucky in this world (and even around where you live) worry that they are being consumed from the inside by their hunger.. The cure for obesity is not watching what and how we eat but behaving in a more compassionate way and give some of that surplus food away, if in any doubt about weight. What if WeightWatchers collaborated with an institution for homeless (and hungry) people? Just an example, you get the idea..a place for innovation by designing a different type of service, maybe?
Well the premise of the study may be true. Recently I have gained a lot of weight, and have been staying up later than I should be. But the reasons may be more complex than the story leads one to believe.
Certain medication also can produce weight gain as a side effect. One's psychological condition, ie. eating for comfort, produces the same results. Depressive modes can often trigger comfort eating, not to mention the sedentary and isolating state one develops.
People in general like to snack. I would think the more important variable in this study should have been, how much and what people snack on while they are up late.
Eat less and excercice - thats the cure for obesity!
The idea of light brings a new dimension to slimming. It is clear that the rules for noctural animals are likely to be different. There is also the position of the animal in the food chain that could make a difference, as the spped of eating might affect the ability to put on weight, usually considered a survival characteristic.
On a personal level, I don't eat in the evening. As a result I sleep better, wake up full of energy and have no problems of putting on weight.
While this is superficially interesting, I suspect that poor experimental design has more of an influence on the outcome than light itself. A more interesting study would be careful to control the food intake of the experimental animals - in the end, calories are required for weight gain, regardless of other factors.
another excuse to not diet.
Is no one concerned with the "Mice and humans are physiologically alike" observation?
I am a mouse????????
this is not new info - exposure to night time artificial light has been long recognized for metabolism changing effects on livestock. Show cattle and horses are maniuplated this way. Chickens lay more during the winter and do not molt if the "day" is extended in winter by way of more (artificial) light hours. artificial light at night affects the behavior of fish, insects, etc etc. so measurable human metabilism/physiological changes as well as behavioral changes occur.
I leave the light on to frighten the mice away. So that is why I'm so fat.

Zack's Kernel News
Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
Simple Flash Filesystem Dan Luedtke recently announced LanyFS – a filesystem to use with any drive you might carry on a lanyard or keychain – essentially, small flash drives. The goal was to make the filesystem so simple that it would work easily on any operating system. In this case, the lack of features was itself a feature.
Richard Weinberger and Marco Stornelli didn't see the point of such minimalism. To them, it just seemed like reinventing the wheel, because other filesystems already existed with a larger set of features. And, Alan Cox gave a link to an interesting article at http:// lwn.net/ Articles/ 428584/ that discussed the ins and outs of trying to code a flash-oriented filesystem.

One of my dear correspondents contributes to a weekly meme called "Weekend Reflections" on her blog. I don't contribute to memes because I can't follow through week after week, but when I saw this postcard, I thought of Marie and her reflections and made sure I scheduled this orphan for a weekend post.
Amy visits June Lake via a trip through Yosemite National Park, which only adds to the wonderfulness of getting away from the hustle of every day life. She and her husband's sisters' families camped in June Lake one year and they pitched camp by a spot near very steep rocks. Her sisters-in-law were not at fond of such a temptation with boys in tow, so the next time, the camp was by the road, with no steep rocks to tempt the boys. I'm sure that a few years later, access to the road and quick trip out to the nearest town to find girls would have been a more dangerous temptation ;-)

Unnamed Occurrence (ARDF - LC002), Aniak District, Bethel Borough, Alaska, USA
Site is in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
Latitude: 60°57'36"N
Longitude: 153°30'36"W
Longitude: 153°30'36"W
Location: About 3 km northwest of Telaquana Pass, on a mountain peak surrounded by glaciers. Locality 38 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977). Sec. 15, T. 10 N., R. 24 W., of the Seward Meridian. Location accurate within 1.6 km.
Geology: Skarn deposit; marble interbedded with schist, phyllite, and metamorphosed mafic volcanic rocks in a large roof pendant in granitic rocks (Nelson and others, 1983). Mineralization consists of pyrite, pyrhhotite and minor amounts of chalcopyrite and sphalerite in granitic rocks and in metasedimentary roof pendants (MacKevett and Holloway, 1977). Quite similar to the nearby Glacier Fork occurrence (ARDF number LC008) and another unnamed occurrence (ARDF number LC010). According to Nelson and others (1983, unit MzPzm), some of the metasedimentary rocks may correlate with the Kakhonak Complex of Permian (?), Triassic, and Jurassic age in the Iliamna quadrangle, and some may be graywacke of Jurassic and Cretaceous (?) age that has been metamorphosed by nearby plutonic rocks. Some of the metamorphosed volcanic rocks, especially in roof pendants, are probably part of the volcanic rocks of Tertiary age (Tv). Nelson and others (1983, unit Ti16) describe the granitic rocks as medium-grey, medium-grained biotite-hornblende granodiorite. Potassium-argon dates on biotite and hornblende from one speciman of this unit yielded ages of about 31 to 35 m.y. (Reed and Lanphere,1972; 1973).
Workings: Unknown
Age: The granodiorite that produced the skarn has potassium-argon dates on biotite and hornblende of about 31 to 35 m.y. (Reed and Lanphere,1972; 1973).
Alteration: Unknown
Production: No production
Reserves: No reserves
Commodities (Major) - Cu; (Minor) - Ag, Zn
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Porphyry Cu or Cu skarn (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 17 or 18b)

On Thursday, UCLA hired Nevada's Jim Mastro to coach tight ends and F-backs. Neither position had its own coach last season at UCLA, the two spots largely becoming casualties of the Pistol offense.
Expect Mastro to get much more out of these veteran groups.
The way we see it: Barr should blossom after a full year of playing experience and could factor heavily in the passing and running game. UCLA simply needs to figure out how to get the ball in his hands. Presley has yet to live up to his 5-star hype but brings a unique skill set and athleticism to the position. His value will increase as UCLA reestablishes its throwing attack. Thigpen has sacrificially divided his time between offense and defense, despite his obvious gifts as a playmaker. It would be a shame for the Bruins to waste potentially one of their most dynamic players.
The way we see it: Harkey struggled all season to hold onto the ball but will remain the starter by default. Fauria saw limited action in 2010, hampered by injuries but also his blocking deficiencies. He still has value as a red zone target. Young can move up the depth chart if he recovers in time from a shoulder injury. Nelson will likely redshirt.

This weekend, my husband and I traveled to New England to visit family. On the way back, we decided to stop at Mystic Seaport, a beautiful museum in Connecticut that features historical ships from the 1800s-1900s. It also has a large historical village that represents whaling village life in the 1800s.
For some reason, we have visited a plethora of historical villages in the past year, and I always like to keep a sharp eye out for any quilting-related items in the recreated villages! This village did not disappoint. Check out this reproduction of a dressmaker's studio:
Beautiful, right? My focus was immediately drawn to the vintage sewing machine in the corner! Love the old-school treadle machine.
Here is a reproduction of an old bedroom. Check out the faded and (I think) historically accurate quilt on the bed! Great use of mis-matched fabrics and blocks. Yes, it looked hand-quilted.
In another room, it looks like someone has been doing some patchwork. Is that an Ohio Star block?
My other favorite "I Spy" moments are spotting beautiful quilts in movies and TV shows. Do you have any favorite quilt-related "I Spy" finds?

So great! And yes--there was one commercial recently for something stupid, but I couldn't change the channel because the kid's quilt was so great! I also love seeing people "knit" in TV and movies, because they are always holding the needles all wrong.ReplyDelete

Former Duval County school security guard Douglas Tilley pleaded guilty Tuesday to reduced charges of child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Douglas Tilley, 25, was arrested and fired after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
According to the original arrest affidavit, Tilley developed a relationship with a 17-year-old student at Frank H. Peterson Academies of Technology, where he worked as a security guard. The two exchanged nude photos, police said, and when she threatened to break up with him, he sent the photos to her mother.
Tilley had bonded out of jail on the original charge. On Monday, the original charge was dropped and he was charged with child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both misdemeanors.
Tuesday morning, Tilley pleaded guilty to both charges and was placed on three years probation, undergo psychiatric counseling and have no contact with the girl. He was given two days in jail, time he already served.
Tilley's lawyer, David Robbins, said all parties were content with the agreement. Tilley will not have to register as a sex offender.
A letter from Principal Peter Senn firing Tilley says he was fired for "inappropriate conduct with the student ... unbecoming of a Duval County public school employee," according to the file from the school district.
Tilley was hired in August. According to his personnel file, it was his first job at a school. He was fired Jan. 22.
Tilley was making just under $9 an hour as a school board employee. His criminal record was clean.

City Councilman Rafael Espinal of Brooklyn and the Council on American-Islamic Relations say that there are some 120,000 Muslim students.
They say that without the Halal option, those that are observant may spend the day hungry.
"It has come to my attention that many Muslim students in our public school system are going all day without eating a hot lunch because the lunch options they are presented do not conform to the strict dietary guidelines of their faith," Espinal said.
City Councilman Mark Weprin of Queens also supports the bill and noted that other religious groups, including Hindus, find the lunch options limiting.

|Due Credit
Johns Hopkins HealthCare can now celebrate with other members of Johns Hopkins Medicine that have earned the stamp of approval from independent accreditors. After two years of preparation and surveyors' scrutiny, the organization that administers health care benefits for almost 200,000 members can now boast that it's accredited by URAC, a Washington, D.C.-based association that establishes health care industry standards, like quality improvement and consumer protection. It's the first time Johns Hopkins HealthCare has applied for full health plan accreditation, says Barbara Krajnik, manager of quality improvement, who coordinated the application, "and it demonstrates our commitment to quality for our members." JHHC's principal programs are the Employer Health Programs, Priority Partners, providing benefits for Medicaid beneficiaries, and the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan. Info: jhhc.com.
Flu Shot Time
Influenza virus vaccine for the 2008–09 flu season has arrived in ample supply at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Considering that the flu kills roughly 25,000 Americans every year, immunization is critical for health care workers. Following Joint Commission and CDC guidelines, all Hopkins hospital and health system employees must either receive or decline the influenza vaccine. Employees and staff throughout Johns Hopkins Medicine who have a valid ID badge are eligible to receive free flu vaccine. Info: Deborah Dooley, 410-614-2485.

It's not easy to select a quintet of Tiger designated hitters for our Best Five. The franchise has had many, many players in that role, and for many years they shuttled in regular position players at DH for days off from playing the field. But there have been a few players who were used regularly as a DH. The very best were the first two Tiger DH's, who filled the role after the rule was instituted in the American League in 1973. The years listed are the seasons the player appeared in at least one game as a DH for the Tigers.
#5 Gary Sheffield (2007-2008)
Sheffield was a perfect DH, he was late in his career and was no looger an effective outfielder, but still had his famous quick bat. In 2007, the 38-year old hit 25 homers and drove in 75, while scoring 107 runs. He was a 20-20 man, stealing 22 bases. The next season his average sank to .225, but he still delivered 19 homers and 57 RBI in 114 games. He was pretty much done as a major leaguer, but in his two seasons as a Tiger he was a dangerous presence in the lineup and a leader in the clubhouse.
#4 Dmitri Young (2002-2006)
The switch-hitting Young was the Tigers primary DH for four+ seasons. He was tailor-made for the role. Dmitri made nearly every flyball hit to him in the outfield an adventure. But at the plate he was in his element. He hit 29 homers in 2003 and made the All-Star team for the Tiger club that lost 119 games. The next season he hit 18 (in just 104 games), and in 2005 he hit 21 homers. Personal problems curtailed his career, but "Da' Meat Hook" was a .292 career hitter in 13 seasons.
#3 Kirk Gibson (1981-1987, 1993-1995)
Gibson earns his spot here mostly due to his second stint with Detroit, in the 1990s. As a young Tiger, Gibson played a little DH here and there before settling in as a right fielder (and left fielder). But coming back to Sparky and the club when he was a more mature 36-year old in 1993, Gibby provided his patented power and aggressive base-running from the DH role. Playing mostly against right-handed pitchers, Gibson hit 13 homers with 62 RBI in '93, and 23 HR with 72 RBI the next season. In 1994 he had a .548 slugging percentage, the highest mark of his career.
#2 Willie Horton (1973-1977)
When the DH rule was passed for the 1973 season, it was perfect timing for Willie. The Tiger veteran had already spent a decade in left field for the club and in recent years gad missed significant playing time with injuries. The pampered life of a professional hitter was suited for Horton. Manager Ralph Houk was the first to install Willie as a full-time, exclusive DH, in 1975. Willie responded by setting career highs in games played, at-bats, and hits. He socked 25 homers and drove in 92 runs. He spent two more years in the role for Detroit, and later was a very successful DH for Texas, Oakland, and Seattle.
We'll never know who would win a footrace between Rusty Staub and Gerald Laird, and it's a shame, because the two sloths would probably put on a good show. But good thing For Staub he didn't have to beat out that many infield hits: he was usually lining singles to the outfield. Rusty was a great hitter everywhere he went (he's the only player to collect at least 500 hits with four different teams). He was at his best when runners were on base: the redhead drove in 100 runs twice for the Tigers and he averaged 106 RBI for his three full seasons with the team. With a sweet, short, level, left-handed stroke, Staub was a .277 hitter as a Tiger. In 1978 he finished fifth in AL MVP voting while playing every game at DH.

Bashing the rainbow flag
Bashing the rainbow flag
Queer bashing is on the rise in Toronto. Unfortunately, I've seen the evidence first hand.
This fall, the rainbow flags my partner and I display on our home and car were systematically torn down, ripped up or stolen. Initially, I felt irritated and annoyed, brushing off the incident as the likely handiwork of some queerphobic kids. After the second incident I began to feel watched and targeted. The message of queerphobia and hate was loud and clear.
After the third incident -- I'm angry.
Race matters: In anti-gay protests, gay bashings, and suicides
People of colour have been missing from the conversation about attacks on the LGBTQ community. A conversation on CBC's The National was a case in point. It promoted the view that to be LGBTQ meant to be white.
Canadian news media have provided heart-wrenching accounts of the string of suicides and homophobia-fuelled violence that has occurred recently in the United States. The coverage has made clear the deep-seated hatred and violence that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people (LGBTQ) are subjected to on a daily basis, just for being who they are.

Both the Justice Depatment and the recession are putting pressure on the traditional 6% commission.
Could it be that the recession, depression, down turn - whatever it is, will have one positive effect on consumers by putting an end to the standard 6% commission charged by agents? A couple articles we saw recently got us thinking this could be the start of a steep price cut in transaction costs for most sellers.
First over at Inman News, a leading real estate news publisher we saw the following story:
6 Percent is Dead
"My belief and statement is that the "standardization" and commonality of the 6 percent commission in the industry is dead and 2009 will be the year in which we will see major movement to innovative fee-based business structures."
- Inman News
Then we saw that the US Department of Justice sued a South Carolina MLS board for trying to limit consumers access to the MLS as being Anti-competitive and against consumer interests.
What does this all mean?
The MLS boards, which are run by traditional full service brokers, are starting to get worried that innovative services are under cutting their commissions and they are doing everything they can to block them. Happily the DOJ has come to consumers defence taking action against these boards and protecting the rights of consumers " Save thousands in commission fees" ...
The more consumers understand their rights and their ability to market their own homes as effectively as selling agents there will continue to be strong pressure on commission rates and the winners? Everyday homeowners.
Now that is real news in this market.

oh' how lovely, it wasnt 'til i started full time at whittards of chelsea many moons ago b4 my 1st term at uni in london started that i got a real tatse for teas n coffee's...was more a fruit juice person, but i was only 20!, so i guess alotta yougens are like that. But i loved the Christmas tea, i have it all year round, love the smell of spiced cinnamon with orange and vanilla!!...its a dreamy tea...hot!, warming to the soul and with a tingle of spices! that smell heavenly!...even in summer you can catch me having a sneaky christmas tea!! hehe xReplyDelete
enjoy yours, hope it warms your soul on this dull day ;0)x
I am very boring in comparison - my preference is Tetley decaff - anything else I can can feel my heartrate rise.ReplyDelete
I love the woody, earthy smell and taste of Earl Grey and such a delicate flavour. Lovely with a slice of home-made fruit cake. My son brought me some Gunpowder Tea from one of his trekking holidays. It does look just like gun-shot. But after you add the hot water to it in the teapot you will find the pot full of HUGE tea leaves and the taste is amazing. Ann x (Think I still have some left at the back of the cupboard, must make a pot.)ReplyDelete
I love Pukka Love tea - tastes delicious and the packaging is also gorgeous so it looks nice in your cupboard :-). It's got chamomile, rose and lavender which I realise sounds a bit weird but is really nice.ReplyDelete
I love green tea too, and a few years ago discovered Postcard Teas just off New Bond Street in London. An oasis of calm where you can sit and try all manner of teas; black, green, white... Tim the owner is incredibly knowledgeable. It was from him that I discovered how amazingly different teas taste when brewed at different temperatures, (particularly green ones) I always visit and stock up whenever I'm in London. My favourite is Aoki Green, which must be brewed at 70 degrees centigrade for optimum flavour. Also, Nigel Slater always seems to be in there!ReplyDelete
I've never tried Green tea but after your post I shall try! I drink a lot of fennel tea after the health visitor recommended it to me when Sonny had collic whilst I was breast feeding , it helps with digestion... and you know what... it worked!ReplyDelete
so 5 years on and I'm still drinking it!
I also drink a lot of 'Yogi' tea's, sweet Chai, detox amongst other's whose names I can't spell!! I love herbs and spices! I also love that on the tea bag, on the bit of cardboard on the end of the string there is a little pearl of wisdom, an affirmation of positivity to try and boost your day on!! todays was, " Act, don't react!!".... so it's an education as well as a cuppa!!!:)

Toobe is the first free standing lamp for Kartell., a multipurpose lamp that completes the range of lamps. Toobe designed by Ferruccio Laviani arose from the idea to use an extruded PMMA pipe that could be used as a table lamp or a standing lamp depending on the length. Thanks to the inventive color technology Tobee is the first product from Kartell that is "smoked", this gives the light inside the cylinder a special glow. De lines are very simple and modern. The handle that is cut out of the lamp makes the lamp functional and easy to move. Exists in crystal, blue, red, orange and green. Toobe is also available in table lamp.

Fernando Avalos wasn't expecting to see a UFO on the 12th of October.
According to Peru.com, the unusual sight of a cylindrical object moving at speed across blue skies was recorded at 17:45 hours and was witnessed by sixty students between the ages of eleven to twelve and four of their instructors in the city of Chimbote. While the sighting went on for about three minutes, the recorded segment only displays seventeen seconds – the amount of time remaining on the videographer's memory card.

Outlook: Two of the Ducks' nine wins have come against the Sharks – both coming within a four-game span. Both are part of the team's only winning streak this season. If there's one thing the Ducks can take advantage of, it is San Jose's woeful penalty killing. The Sharks' 74.8 percent success rate is 29th in the league, ranking only above Toronto. The Ducks might want to try to draw penalties as they're next-to-last in play at even strength and dead last in shots per game with a 26.2 average. Teemu Selanne's nine-game point scoring streak came to an end in Thursday night's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.>

2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT Review
The looks, the sound, the stereo.
Gas mileage, back seats are too small, the overall weight.
Awesome, Fun, But Has Its Downsides — The 2005 year was refresh year for the Tiburon and in my opinion the minimum year anyone should have, The new headlights, taillights and interior are must haves. The car is a bit underpowered in stock form. I have added performance spark plugs and wires, an Injen Cold Air Intake, a Magnaflow HiFlow Cat, and a Borla Catback exhaust and it seems to be the right amount of power now. I have upgraded the brakes so it is much better at stoping but not a problem stock, build quality is much improved and very nice, Cost of ownership is low, and this car is a blast to drive!

Extremely reliable, Very low maintenance, sporty/stylish design, great exhaust note.
Little to no room in the back for passengers.
Tiburon — For a first car it really did me justice. I'm 19 and have had it for 3 years. It has not a single time broke down on me. Other than the usual tune ups (break pads, oil, rotors) I have had no serious repairs needed. The exhaust note is nice and deep and i always receive complements on the looks and sound. Its not seriously fast but for the cost it does its job. The only true thing that i can think of over the years that was annoying was the fact that there is virtually no room in the back for friends etc. For a first car to cruise around town with its seriously great.

Very quick on the pedal, good looking and fair gas mileage for a 2 door sports car.
Back seats are useless. Trunk can hit the head of whom is in the back.

I love this car so much, it runs good and I wouldn't sell it if my status didn't change.
It's little for a big family to fit in.
Great — What I like about this car it's its turbo engine, so powerful and it makes me look cool and young. It doesn't cost that much for gas usage. But the only thing I dislike about it is that it's too little for the whole family to fit in. Also i feel comfortable driving my new born in it.

Tiburon — It's accelerations is very good, braking is not bad, and handling is more on the understeering side when making super sharp turns, the build is good and has an awesome appearance. the mileage for the car is average. And this car is fun to drive.

With several major league scouts huddled closely on a cold evening at Olympic Field, right-handed pitcher Myles Smith displayed the form they came to see as he fanned 11 and retired 13 straight Southern Polytechnic State University hitters over seven innings.
The Flames improved to 21-7 and more importantly moved to 13-3 in Southern States Athletic Conference play with a convincing 16-1 win over the 20-7, 9-4 Hornets.
Smith (6-2) got the only run he needed in the bottom of the first inning when Brady Renner reached on a single. Josh Silver put down a sacrifice bunt and Renner scored on a throwing error by the Southern Poly shortstop.
In his most impressive showing of the year, Smith scattered three hits over the seven innings and did not walk a Hornet hitter. The only run he allowed was unearned. Alex Moore came on to hurl the final two innings and did not surrender a hit, while fanning two.
Lee put three more runs on the board in the third inning and sent nine batters to the plate. Corey Davis was hit by a pitch. Brandon Rader, who finished the evening with a double and two singles, stroked a two-bagger to score Davis. Mark Silva followed with another ringing double that scored Rader. Silver pushed the final run of the inning across the dish when he stroked the first of his three hits.
Two more runs in the sixth increased the margin to 6-1 as Renner and Silver banged out back-to-back one-base knocks. Karsten Strieby collected an RBI with a sacrifice fly and Silver scored on an error by the Hornet shortstop.
Fifteen Lee hitters waltzed to the plate in the seventh inning and 10 runners scored before Southern Poly finally recorded the third out. Rader had a pair of singles and scored twice in the frame. Silva had a double, a single and scored twice. Sliver collected two RBIs with a single and Chris Avey capped off the huge inning with a three-run homer over the right-field wall.
"Myles (Smith) was excellent this evening," said coach Mark Brew. "We never discussed the 10-run mercy rule before the game started. I don't think either coach ever thought the game would go like this. Southern Poly has a good team and I'm sure they will come right back at us tomorrow."
Brew also noted that Smith stayed ahead of the Hornet hitters during his seven innings of work. "He showed the type of dominating pitcher he can be. It was also good to see our hitters do the job up and down the lineup. Our seventh, eighth and ninth (place) batters had nine hits and scored seven runs. We are a tough team to beat when those guys hit like that"
Brew also singled out the hitting of Silver who accounted for six tallies with four RBIs and two runs scored. "We need that kind of performance from Josh. He did the job at the plate and in the field." Silver teamed with second baseman Silva to turn a pair of double plays.
Southern Poly's only run came in the third inning when Josue Quinones singled, took second on an error, third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout by Trey Malone.
Darin Wiltgen was the starting and losing Southern Poly hurler. In 4 1/3 innings, he allowed four hits, three earned runs, walked five and fanned one. Four other Hornet pitchers went to the mound before the long night ended.
Today's doubleheader is scheduled to get under way at 1 p.m. Brew said Jose Samayoa would work in the opener while Clint Terry would hurl the final nine-inning affair.

Giovanni Carlos Ponciano Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on August 3, 2011, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, GIOVANNI CARLOS PONCIANO, a 49-year-old citizen of Guatemala, appeared for sentencing. PONCIANO was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 24 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 3 years
PONCIANO was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to illegal re-entry.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marcia K. Hurd, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On September 2, 2009, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper arrested PONCIANO for driving under the influence near Glendive. While being booked, it was discovered that PONCIANO was an illegal alien from Guatemala.
A fingerprint comparison revealed that PONCIANO had been previously deported on July 21, 2005, from Houston, Texas under the name of Francis Javier Mena for a felony conviction for forgery from Connecticut.
A further review of immigration records checks found no evidence that PONCIANO had received permission from the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security to reenter the United States after having been removed.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that PONCIANO will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, PONCIANO does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations.

CTM.12 - Nik Nowak
Nik Nowak's "Panzer" (Tank, 2011) is a sound system built from a chain dumper. A wall of speakers with 9 membranes and 4 high frequency horns and 4000 watt is raised hydraulically from the mount before bursting into action. But, more notably "Panzer" is the artistic representation of a sound weapon that echoes the aesthetics of military "stealth" technologies, the brute force of armored vehicles and the anarchic culture of mobile sound systems. This combination incites a vague fascination for the bad vibes of aggressive frequencies and impressively addresses the role of sound as a means of controlling masses and space.

I feel like I caused a patient's death and I can't get over it
- 0I am a new nurse working in a sub acute rehab facility/LTC. I am typically assigned to care for 28 to 40 patients on midnights. I have been trying to get into a hospital but not having prior experiance or a BSN forced me to accept this job for experience. I have been concerned from the being with patient safety and the patient load I have.
Awhile back I had a patient whom I was not familiar with. She had a trach site, on O2, with continuous tube feed, and a mental illness condition. Later the CNA said she told her she was having difficulty breathing. So I checked her spo2 I raised the HOB from 30 to 45 degrees and increased her o2 and the sp02 increased. I notified the doctor on call.
When I later entered the room I noticed the patient looked really pale and asked if she was ok, the nurse replied "no she isnt, get a suction machine". I was in a panic, I thought "should I have suctioned her ?!?" I ran out to the find someone who knew where suction machine one and was told that there was one on the crash chart so I grabbed the crash chart and ran toward the room. When I came closer to the room someone said it was a code and to announce it on the overhead.
I feel like I did not do all I could for her and I have been crying almost daily because of it. I even started smoking again after quitting 6 years ago. I can't sleep without sleeping pills and I see her pale face in my head over and over. I would love some honest opinions from more seasoned nurses on this event because I feel so horrible about what happened.Last edit by VickyRN on Oct 13, '13
- 5Oct 12, '13 by LadyFree28((((HUGS))))
How unfortunate!
FIRST thing you need to realize is that this person may have been headed towards this destination; in hindsight there was something acute occurring; when in doubt, you always get someone to help; ask questions; it NEVER hurst to say "I'm concerned..." especially when you haven't had the experience.
The next thing to do is discuss your concerns with someone, even a licensed health professional. Every nurse has thought with hindsight in very stressful situations; for me, it has made me a better nurse.
Sending post iv vibes on getting back on your horse and do this nursing business...it will be up to YOU.
- 4Oct 12, '13 by thenursemandyIf someone with a trach starts desating....and is becoming more anxious .....why do you think that was? Maybe because her airway was partially blocked....and needed suctioned. She couldn't adequately breath. I believe it is likely that you contributed to her early demise, but you may never know.
This isn't what you want to hear, but its what you likely feel in your gut. I'm so sorry for what you must be feeling.
1. Try to accept what happened. You are trying your best in a new role with tons of responsibility and little support...and sometimes horrible things happen...even to good people. 2. Seek further education on trachostomies and end of life care. 3. Do it ASAP. 4. Know that your skills/intuition will get better with experience and education.
- 7Oct 12, '13 by Pepper The Cat, BSN, RNPlease talk to someone about this.
I think you did the best you could, given your experience.
You are not the only one who missed things. You said she had been there for 2 days, but her Xanax was not available, and no one else had set up suction. She had anxiety issues, which can make things difficult to assess, esp SOB.
Do you have an MD on call, or an on call person you can reach out to in situations like this?
I don't think I would have done much different than you did.
- 7Oct 12, '13 by AmistadI'm so sorry this happened to you. :: I think you did a good job considering you care for 28 to 30 patients at night (how?!).
Perhaps this is a good opportunity to suggest to management that a trach inservice/class take place since it sounds like your staff doesn't take care of trached patients very often.
Don't beat yourself up. You did what you could and with good intentions.
- 3thank you everyone for your input and thoughts...
I really do believe if I didn't have such a high patient load I would have thought about her condition more critically. I try my best daily do give good patient care but when I do decent care I fall behind and I get questioned by the DON's on why I am over. I say decent care because I know I am not doing all I know I can. I have always wanted to be in healthcare since I was little, but I am so discouraged where I am at now. We have an on call doctor and the regular doctors do not show up until around 9am on average and some patients have been there for weeks before they even see a doctor. I have called the on call doctor before and he always has an attitude like why are you calling me with this? I had to tell him one night that we need to send a patient out for respiratory distress so I know my assessment skills are not horrible. That patient was gone for a month before she came back, so I know it was serious. I know the other nurses missed things also and if there was a suction machine in there I would have put it together even as busy as I was. I just wish I was the one who could have thought to get a suction machine. Maybe that wouldnt have saved her but at least I could rest easy knowing that I did all I could. I am currently looking for a hospital to work at because LTC facilities are not worried about the nurse patient ratio whatsoever. I know a lot of hospitals nurse to patient ratios are high but I think I could handle 5-7 patients better than 28-40 patients.
- 3Oct 12, '13 by doppelganger2Oh my, there are so many things I want to say on this matter......
You contributed to this patients death. Allowing the family believe that it was the hospitals fault for discharging this patient too soon, when in actuality it was you and your facilities negligence for not providing proper equipment and training to its staff.
You stated the pt was sob so you raised hob to 30-45 degrees and increased 02.if this pt was on a continuous feed, their head should have already been elevated to those degrees.
When the pt asked for water but you refused because they are nectar thick liquids only. You should have nectar thick water provided for you and if not there should be the thickening packets so you can make your own nectar thick liquids.
If you didn't think it was a "safe" patient load you should have spoken up.
None of what I'm saying here is going to make you feel any better and it's not intended to. There are serious things that you, other staff and your facility did that contributed to this pts death.
- 1Oct 12, '13 by doppelganger2Forgot about you seeking a hospital job. I say good luck with that because the ratios are better than ltc. But smaller ratios mean higher acuity of care and a need for higher level of critical thinking skills.
- 13@doppelganger The acuity level on this unit actually very high and many patients get dumped at this facility that are not ready for rehab and we send them back out quite frequently. There is a LTC unit in the facility also. This was not on the LTC unit this was on the rehab sub acute care unit. I and other staff have spoken up about the ratio with but management doesn't care. When I was first hired they said it was a patient max of 14. A turn out that only applies to day shift. I did offer the patient nectar thick liquids and they were provided to her. The HOB was elevated 30 degree to start with, if you read my post you would see I only elevated it higher. I never saw the family I am only stating what other staff members told me. Believe me I am not trying to justify anything here. My heart truly breaks for what happened and unless you have been in my shoes you have no idea what I do for these patients. I know I have helped some maybe a lot. I have patient thank me for my care I give them because many people there ignore call lights and treat them poorly. I wish I was better that night and this is something I will have to try and live with. Before this happened I thought seriously about quitting. I wanted to stick it out and I don't want a lap in my employment but I know it is my license on the line. You can't tell me that your critical thinking skills will be sharp when you are caring for 28-40 acutely ill patients per night with a staff that has a low moral for helping others. I will not forget about looking for a hospital job and you saying that is really just hurtful. I know none of you know me but during all of my clinical rotations I had nothing but praise from my clinical instructors on my critical thinking skills and my interaction with patients. I am just too overwhelmed with what I am assigned to do and after these posts I know now that I should defiantly quit.
- 11Oct 12, '13 by stylishgurlHi Jane82 forgive yourself and for every nursing heartaches consider it as your learning pearls.You will experience more and more situations like this where you feel like you could have done something differently.Don't be hard on yourself you sound so concerned and caring be strong.Patients in the hospital might be sicker and demanding but guess what you won't be alone.I always have compassion with new nurses coz I have been there.Trust me it will get better and you will get more skilled as you move forward.
