Overlap in Electromagnetic Spectrum Labels
Name: Katherine Status: educator Grade: 9-12 Country: USA Date: Spring 2012
Why are some regions of the electromagnetic spectrum shown to overlap on illustrations? For example, x-rays and gamma rays; infrared and microwaves; and microwaves and radio waves are typically shown to overlap on illustrations in high school textbooks. I thought that the electromagnetic spectrum was divided into regions by wavelength, but clearly this is not the case. Some resources I've found suggest that the overlap has to do with the source of the energy. That's fine for waves generated on Earth, but how then do you tell the boundary between an x-ray and gamma ray generated by the sun? I can't imagine when the source is the sun, the regions overlap.
Hi Kate,
The electromagnetic spectrum is a spectrum, a continuum. The sources for the energy may vary and one source may be more specific for a certain region than another. There are no boundaries in the spectrum, except for our naming them.
That is a part of the problem. The continuum is a long, expansive spectrum! In an effort to understand it, many scientists of many disciplines have been involved. Therefore, generally a team of scientists would concentrate on a small part of the spectrum and study it.
Then another team, equally competent and quite possibly from another angle of study entirely, studied an adjacent part. And so on as we learned about the spectrum and all of its properties. For the sake of simplicity, certain regions were named and have remained. The regions are named very loosely and vary widely among texts. The purpose for the regions is to help people relate the spectrum to things they have heard about.
When a scientist needs to know the energy of a part of the spectrum we indicate wavelength.
Please do not go crazy over regions named by a text. There are so many interesting phenomena in the expanse of the spectrum, you may wish to relate to the whole continuum and relish in it.
Hope this helps with the continuum!

Hi Kate, great question.
There are a few different answers to your question, but the overarching reason is that these labels are not based on some fundamental scientific principal, but more on the history of our understanding of the spectrum. There are no hard-and-fast boundaries, and so different information sources may differ somewhat (overlap) or group different wavelengths into different groups. (and this is not the only subject where the history of the science plays a strong role in how current ideas are explained and new ideas are developed!)
Let me explain a little more --
Today, we have a (somewhat) comprehensive view of the electromagnetic spectrum. But that was not always the case. Early scientists performed experiments and made observations, and tried to explain those observations. Light has been known since before mankind, and has been studied for thousands of years. Magnetism was also known to the ancients -- but they did not know the two were related (that did not happen until the 1800's). br>
As science progressed, other forms of electromagnetic radiation (EM) were discovered. The way people discovered them is by observing how the EM interacted with matter. It just so happens that different EM interacts differently with matter, and so early scientists had no idea that EM was all related -- they just had a collection of strange effects. Thus, different EM was classified according to how it was observed (how it interacted with matter). These classifications persist today -- light is visible, infrared heats things up, .... etc.
Over time, science realized that EM was all connected and slowly put the pieces together. There was a ton of experimentation in the late 19th century (Bose, Hertz, Marconi, Maxwell, Faraday... big names you may have heard of). Some EM has been very well studied (like light). However, some EM remains less studied (the EM with tricky interactions with matter, that are harder to experiment around) -- like terahertz.
In the end, the labels on the EM spectrum reflect a history of discovery, as well as common physical traits (how the EM interacts with matter, which relates to how it was discovered and studied).
Hope this helps, Burr Zimmerman
Greetings Kate,
To be perfectly honest, I think all of our divisions of the electromagnetic spectrum are relatively arbitrary and based off historical precedence. In some cases where the radiation was discovered it was not obvious at the time that it was "electromagnetic radiation" but rather something different (x-rays and gamma rays). As such, we may not always agree on exactly where to draw the line (for instance) between hard x-rays and gamma rays. Likewise, different textbooks may show different divisions depending upon who wrote the material and where they take the information (not to mention the occasional mistake). One place I see lists below 120keV as hard x-ray and above that as gamma. Another lists the boundary at 124keV. It's just arbitrary and part of a naming convention (that we don't all agree upon). Using that 120keV as an example though, for most things there is very little difference between a 119keV photon and a 121keV photon.
Take optical wavelengths as another example. I doubt everyone sees exactly the same spectrum. Thus we can use an average to say where the transition from infra-red to red light occurs.
cheers, Michael Pierce
Katherine, It is important to remember that the only difference between x-rays and gamma rays is frequency (and wavelength). There is no exact boundary at which something stops being an x-ray and starts being a gamma ray. They are electromagnetic waves, just like radio waves and light waves. At one time, they were not known to be even related. What defined the kind of wave was how it is produced. The different references linger. Really, x-rays and gamma rays are essentially the same thing.

This article overviews a large, 3-year study conducted by Monash University and Victoria Police on Counter-Terrorism Policing and Culturally Diverse Communities. It sets out the development of a social cohesion approach to counter-terrorism policing based on extensive empirical research with police members, culturally diverse communities and through the close reading of counter-terrorism law and policy in Australia.

WASHINGTON — The federal banking and thrift regulatory agencies today approved a final rule that would permit a banking organization to reduce the amount of goodwill it must deduct from tier 1 capital by any associated deferred tax liability.
Under the final rule, the regulatory capital deduction for goodwill would be equal to the maximum capital reduction that could occur as a result of a complete write-off of the goodwill under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The final rule is in substance the same as the proposal issued in September. The final rule will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. However, banking organizations may adopt its provisions for purposes of regulatory capital reporting for the period ending December 31, 2008.
The final rule was approved by the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift Supervision. The draft Federal Register notice is attached.

Experiences are made up of your wins and losses; the good and bad times; your successes and mistakes. But, what if I told you they can be one and the same? What if your mistakes and successes have more in common than you think? It is time to rethink how we judge performance and spend more time in analyzing mistakes to pull the good out of them. Now, this doesn't mean not to completely throw away striving for excellence, but what this really means is that you should know mistakes will be made along the way. It is more about accepting them, rather than resisting them. These moments are there to make us better thinkers and to also prevent us from making the same mistakes twice. These are the learning moments.

Our responsibility in all of this is to train ourselves to stop and recognize them. Just as in moments where we have successes and can take notes on what we did correctly so they are repeated, mistakes offer opportunities to take notes so we know what not to repeat. Instead of shying away from our mistakes and not even wanting to acknowledge them due to fear, what if we as leaders embraced mistakes? What if we not only allowed them, but encouraged them? A trial by error experiment, if you will.
I can still remember a quote that my boss at my first job told me.
"No matter what you do wrong, it can be fixed." [Tweet This]
I still have yet to find many situations that cannot be fixed. Of course, be kind and learn how to fix the problem that you created because not only is it the right thing to do, but you learn more this way and gain experience from the process. This simple quote really got me thinking at an early age about how people treat their mess-ups in their work. I mean, why all the fuss about not getting it right the first time? So, it takes a little longer and people learn something from their mistakes along the way. Sounds to me like a great opportunity for the individual to learn the process and a great way for companies to train their employees. It really is a "win-win" situation. I have been in this type of work environment and also an environment that punishes mistakes. In an environment where there is less pressure on you, the stress of messing up on the individual is lifted. This is where freedom is created to work and flow in.
Why is this important?
Freedom in your workplace breeds creativity. [Tweet This]
I may be the first person who has ever told you this, but… YES, it is ok to mess up. Simply put, if you are afraid to mess up, then the wrong culture has been put in place around you. But, it isn't too late. Whether you work for micromanagers or control freaks, you can be the change in the culture you are currently in.
Here are three ways to create freedom in stepping out on a limb and begin giving permission to mess things up…
1. Realize that you, your coworkers nor your boss are perfect.
The moment that someone actually admits this and stops taking themselves so seriously is the moment that mistakes are overlooked and freedom begins.
Perfection is made through mistakes. [Tweet This]
Imagine with me for a moment a world without the two following influential people…
"I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."
- Michael Jordan [Tweet This]
Towards the end of the process he is quoted as saying,
"I have not failed. I have just found 9,999 ways that do not work."
-Thomas Edison [Tweet This]
I absolutely love the perspective that Edison had. He didn't ask for permission to fail, but he took it. What if we began to see things the same way that Edison did?
What if we saw getting up and trying as the true beginning of learning? [Tweet This]
These are two high-profile examples of taking what most people would call mistakes and turning them into achieving greatness. If they went through those experiences and can still go after their goals, what is stopping you from turning your mishaps into teaching tools for yourself and others to learn from? Maybe your excuses are the very things stopping you from daring to dream big and conquering your biggest fears.
Stop the excuses.
Attempt what you never thought you could.
Achieve more than you ever dreamed.
It all starts with taking the first step in the right direction and that is realizing that you will make mistakes along the way.
2. Communicate your plans.
Before you dive head first into this new take on experimenting in the workplace, you need to communicate to others what your plan actually is and what you feel the need to take risks in. This will be your form of organized chaos.
The first step in this process is to fully get others on board with you and the best way to make this happen is to explain your goals upfront to everyone involved so you can begin to sell the idea. This one step helps the micromanagers in your life cope with change. Here, you need to explore the best possible ways to effectively present your ideas and get as many people as possible on your side.
The second step here is listen to your team and hear what they want to achieve through the process. Other people have different perspectives and that alone will help you become more in tune with the true needs of the entire team. Sometimes the easiest way of getting everyone on board with an idea is to take the time to listen to their ideas. Everyone wants to be heard and to know their ideas are appreciated. Realize that every person on your team matters.
After each idea on goals are out on the table, the third and final step in communication with your team is to actually construct the plan. These points of action are meant as an outline, not a strict plan. I am sure you are wondering why you should create a plan if you aren't going to necessarily stick to it. This is because everyone needs boundaries. Everyone needs a playground; a fence to stay in while being able to play inside those boundaries.
Once guidelines are created and communication is established, then it is time to think outside of the box while staying inside the predetermined boundaries.
3. Determine the best and worst case scenarios.
The next step in the equation is showing those around you that better results can be achieved if creativity begins to take place in the work environment on a regular basis.
Here are just a few ways to begin encouraging creativity:
Now, make a list of the best possible outcomes versus the worst. In most cases, the positive results outweigh the negative ones. This helps everyone understand that creativity isn't the only factor here, but risk is a big part of the equation as well.
-Scott Adams
Creativity + Risk = Huge Results [Tweet This]
Use these points to learn from your mistakes and coach others on what you concluded from them. Take notes from your experiences. Not only learn from your mistakes, but also take the time to learn from your achievements. I am not talking about making chaos a daily activity, but I am talking about an organized discussion of the possibilities of where taking the above equation could lead to. Creativity and taking risks are precursors to shifting momentum in your favor. Learn how to effectively stand out in the midst of the noise. Today, you can stop hiding behind the fear of making mistakes and begin to embrace the wisdom gained through choosing creativity, even if there are a few bumps in the road.
Remember, Imperfection encourages better results. [Tweet This]

Moroccan bars try to cash in on Rick's Cafe from "Casablanca."
CASABLANCA, Morocco — On a dingy side street, the smiling landlord pronounced with historical certainty that one need look no further. The real inspiration for Rick's Cafe in the classic film "Casablanca" stands before you.
"Yes," said Abdeslamy Labiad, 70, gesturing to an oval sign above an arched doorway. "It's the same bar."
The sign was plastic, and smeared with bird scat. It said, "Rex Cabaret."
Several saloons in this North African country have laid claim to the legacy of the great World War II movie romance, each with varying degrees of plausibility. Steered by locals or guidebooks promising the authentic Rick's, tourists flock to one after the other. Sorting out which bar best imitates the real thing is complicated by the fact that, by all reliable accounts, no original existed in the first place.
Hearing this notion leaves Mr. Labiad — a fit, genial man who ran Rex Cabaret himself until 1980 — decidedly nonplussed. As does the small matter of the sign's spelling.
"Yes, OK," he allowed. Since the 1940s, "the big sign and the door — that's been changed."
The 1942 movie "Casablanca" was a Hollywood confection of the highest order. Filmed entirely on a sound stage, it contained zero location shots or actors of Moroccan descent. The airplane in the final sequence was a half-size wooden mockup; the studio cast midgets as mechanics to preserve the illusion of size. And the Moroccan saloon at the heart of the story is about as rooted in reality as the lounge aboard the Starship Enterprise.
According to Aljean Harmetz's exhaustive book, "Round Up the Usual Suspects: The Making of Casablanca," the film began its life as a play written by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison. In 1938, Burnett became committed to the anti-Nazi cause after a trip spent aiding Jewish relatives in occupied Vienna. Before coming home, Burnett passed an evening in a nightclub with a polyglot clientele where a black man played piano. There, he reportedly turned to his wife and said, "What a setting for a play."
The nightclub was in the south of France.

Jason Derulo Performs 'Talk Dirty,' Opens Up About New Album [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]
Jason Derulo performs his chart-topping new song 'Talk Dirty' for The Boombox's Off the Record series.
Jason Derulo performs his chart-topping new song 'Talk Dirty' for The Boombox's Off the Record series.
Are Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks trying to tell us something in the video for his song 'Marry Me?' Well, we definitely can tell they are crazy in love in this romantic video where they snuggle, smooch and sing to each other. It's almost too intimate and we're voyeurs.
If the chemistry between Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks wasn't totally apparent already, then it sure is now!
"Pay close attention," Jason Derulo says just before he shows us his go-to dance move. 'The Other Side' crooner stopped by the PopCrush office to play a game of Pop the Question. He throws darts… and answers silly questions. The end result? We find out a lot more about Jason Derulo than he probably planned on sharing.
We all know Jason Derulo can cut some rug, but we were pleasantly surprised when he decided to release a second version of his video for 'The Other Side' that totally focued on his choreography.
Listen to Jason Derulo's 'The Other Side,' the lead single off his upcoming album, and it's pretty clear what he's singing about -- sex. And the video for the video hardly disappoints.
Even though they initially denied their relationship, Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have confirmed that they are a couple and now they're shouting their love for one another from the mountain tops. Derulo recently dropped a remix of 'It Girl,' and apparently this position has been filled by his lady love Ms. Sparks, as she is featured on the song and in a video accompanying the revamped tune.
Jason Derulo broke his neck, literaly, while rehersing for his upcoming world tour. He has had to cancel the tour but put out this video to thank everyone for supporting him and sending so much love his way.
Jason Derulo is sporting a new accessory around his neck after taking a fall while rehearsing the choreography for his forthcoming tour Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 4. Derulo took to his social networking sites where he posted a picture of himself laid up with a neck brace, but at least looking to be in good spirits about the injury.
Jason Derulo misses a girl so bad, it's almost driving him crazy in the new music video 'Breathing,' which PopCrush is proud to bring you exclusively.

Benefit concerts have really exploded since the late '60s, starting with the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, to the more recent Rock the Vote and Hurricane Katrina benefit concerts. They have popped up every couple of years or so to raise funds for or awareness about different causes. As fun as these concerts sound, there has been some criticism about their effectiveness.

Lottery Lands Legends
In this summer's NBA Draft Lottery, the Wine and Gold will land anywhere between picks one and six with one of their first round selections. Since the NBA Lottery was formed in 1985, some great players and future/current Hall-of-Famers have landed within those first six picks. Here are the top three No. 1 through No.
One-on-One with Fred McLeod: Alonzo Gee
Lottery Oddities
Cavs fans don't need any convincing that just about anything can happen in the NBA Lottery.
The Cavaliers have won the Lottery when they were supposed to, won it when they weren't supposed to and they've benefitted big from Clippers wheelings and dealings in two different generations.
One of those occasions was just one year ago, when the Wine and Gold – in the person of 14-year-old Nick Gilbert – dramatically defied the odds and won the No. 1 overall pick with the Clippers' entry, one that had a mere 2.8 percent chance to succeed.
Where Will YOU Be May 30th?
2011-12 Omri Casspi Highlights
Cavaliers Host Official NBA Draft Lottery Party presented by Budweiser
CLEVELAND, OH - The night will be filled with fun and anticipation when Cavs fans gather at Cadillac Ranch in downtown Cleveland (200 Euclid Ave.) for the Official Cavaliers 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Viewing Party presented by Budweiser on Wednesday, May 30th starting at 7:00 p.m. With all TVs tuned to live coverage of the NBA Draft Lottery on ESPN at 8:00 p.m. everyone will be watching to see how the ping pong balls will bounce to determine when the Cavaliers will pick in the NBA Draft on June 28th.
Kyrie Irving Named to the 2011-12 NBA All-Rookie First Team
CLEVELAND – Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving was the only unanimous selection to the 2011-12 NBA All-Rookie First Team and forward/center Tristan Thompson was named to the All-Rookie Second Team, the NBA announced today.
Season in Review: Omri Casspi
Season Overview: There's little question that Cavs forward Omri Casspi never quite found his rhythm with the Wine and Gold in his first year with the squad.
Casspi was acquired in a trade with Sacramento – along with a protected 1st round draft pick from the Kings in exchange for J.J. Hickson – just days before the NBA lockout. With abbreviated Training Camps not tipping off until mid-December, Casspi didn't get a real chance to gel with his new squad until the helter-skelter season began.

Cause and effect essays on fahrenheit 451
Check our prices:
In the case if you have to develop the cause and effect essays on fahrenheit 451 any cause and effect essay outline can be extremely helpful. Unless you are performing on the personal point of view work, you are highly recommended to avoid the pronouns "I," "you,""we", "my", "your,""our". In case if there's no method to change the utterance to get rid of the first-person pronoun, you probably do not possess enough information and facts to hold up your opinion.
Cause and effect essays on fahrenheit 451 outlines assist pupils and students in successfully finishing their works. It is very important to summarize the major points and offer certain approaches in which the ending of the paper can be thought of in the far wider meaning. What are the offers of the thesis? What is the subsequent step? What matters are still not dealt with? It's not a spot to introduce any novel information or facts that support the thesis utterance - you should just be "repackaging" what you have mentioned, with the assistance of the much broader point of view. Cause and effect essay outlines help to end the cause and effect essays on fahrenheit 451 in the finest probable manner.
After that you can start developing the introductory part of the cause and effect essays on fahrenheit 451. I am not kidding. After you have created the complete work, it is the best time to develop the appropriate introductory part. And also probably you will have to change the thesis statement, so that is looked flawlessly. After you have created body paragraphs and the conclusion, you are in the best spot to tell your teacher and the entire audience what they are pouring into. Explain a thesis and how you are going to assert it without being extremely specific. You should not use the obvious phrases, for instance, "The paper is about..." or "The subject of this work is..." One manner is to begin with the general sentence, carry on with the question or issue or phenomenon, then with the thesis, and a concise overview of the key points of the paper.
For a little bit broader and extensive papers it is really constructive to follow the "upside down pyramid" whereby you start with a wide depiction of the issue and steadily narrow it to the thesis utterance. It is the common arrangement of the "literature review" in the academic paper and may comprise up to half, at times more, of the essay.

Among the many residents of Bird Valley, you'll find two of the most popular birds at the Zoo—penguins and flamingos. If you're having a hard time imagining penguins enjoying a Philadelphia summer, think about this: Most penguins don't live in cold places like Antarctica. Humboldt penguins like those found at the Zoo are native to the coasts of Chile and Peru, where temperatures are similar to Philadelphia. You'll find the penguin pool at the west end of Bird Valley behind the Reptile Exercise Yard.
Standing at the Caribbean flamingo exhibit, you'll get a real feel for the tropics. Believe it or not, four generations are represented in our flamingo flock. You may not be able to use age to tell them apart, but you can easily tell the males from the females. Males have a band on their right leg, and females have a band on their left leg. This simple clue works for all the resident birds you'll see here at the Zoo. For the penguins, look for a wing band instead of a leg band. The flamingo exhibit is at the east end of Bird Valley, across from Bear Country.

Fingon, the Valiant was an Ñoldorin elf, the eldest son of Fingolfin, and older brother of Turgon, Aredhel, andArgon.[1]
He was High King of the Ñoldor in Middle-earth during the First Age after the death of his father. He was an instrument in healing the rift between the Sons of Fëanor and the followers of his father after their desertion of them in Araman.
Fingon's final battle was the Nirnaeth Arnoediad (Battle of Unnumbered Tears). Fingon led the attack on Angband, and the fury of his warriors nearly won the day. Unfortunately, due to Ulfang's treachery, Maedhros did not arrive until three days after he was expected. This resulted in Morgoth releasing his Balrogs and Glaurung the dragon on the already weakened Ñoldor force. When Maedhros finally arrived, hope was reborn for Fingon's army; however, Ulfang's treachery again took effect, causing Maedhros to withdraw. Fingon was then surrounded and his guards killed. He dueled Gothmog, lord of Balrogs, but was struck from behind by another. Gothmog then clove Fingon's helm, and fire sprang from it. This presumably killed Fingon instantly, but the Balrogs proceeded to beat his body into the dust long after he was dead. Thus the day ended in defeat for the elves.

But WaitThere's More

The lodge: Correntoso Lake & River Hotel, Argentine Patagonia
Perfect for you and: The man you'd go to the ends of the earth for
Isolation index: 9 out of 10. It isn't as distant as Tierra del Fuego, but the natural splendors of Argentina's Lake District are still far afield. From Buenos Aires, you'll fly two hours to San Carlos de Bariloche, then drive another 60 miles through the Andean forests and flatlands along the Seven Lakes Drive—and every inch of those 60 miles is spectacularly scenic.
Cold comfort: Your guy is an outdoors kind of fellow, and you want to take him where he can fish for trout on icy-blue lakes by day (while you're getting spa treatments), and both of you can dine on chef-prepared delights and quaff robust Argentinean reds by night. Correntoso (view slideshow) will satisfy all those wishes. The lodge sits on a bluff overlooking the Correntoso River as it empties into the lake of Nahuel Huapi—offering prime fishing and unbelievable views. The only question is whether to visit now (during their summer), or wait till July so you can escape the heat in the States.
The aphrodisiac: The lodge's hammam and spa, which is heated by burning wood gathered locally, and uses mountain herbs for the full body wrap. After your treatment, lounge on a wooden chaise by the indoor/outdoor infinity pool and take in vistas of the lake and snow-tipped mountains beyond.

FHSU hopes groups 'buy in' to housing plan

By ELIZABETH GOLDEN
Fort Hays State University recently completed the design phase of another on-campus housing opportunity.
In addition to the reconstruction of Wiest Hall dormitory, themed housing will provide an additional 100 beds next door.
The housing will contain four separate communities with single-occupancy bedrooms. Each community will be comprised of a different campus group or organization.
Two of the units will contain 28 beds, one will have 21 beds and one will have 20 single-occupancy rooms in addition to the graduate assistant's room.
The residents for the various communities have yet to be decided, but Greek organizations, international students and honor communities are deciding whether to "buy in" to the plan.
"Right now, some groups are looking at fundraising options," said Jacob Ternes, coordinator of student involvement and Greek life. "We've asked groups who are interested to commit by March."
Due to the smaller structure, the interested organizations have to file an application and provide the finances.
"It's more expensive to build a smaller unit, so there's a buy-in fee," said Tisa Mason, vice president of student involvement.
The total cost is $250,000 for the 28-bed option; $190,000 for the 21-bed option.
The new facility aims to provide student organizations with a safe, up-to-date housing option, Ternes said.
"With the new facility, we can provide things such as sprinkle systems, fire suppressions," Ternes said. "Off-campus houses may not have all these safety features."
In addition, alumni would be able to receive tax benefits for donating.
"This provides an opportunity for alumni who are interested in financially supporting the facility to get tax benefits," Ternes said, "because they are making a donation to the university instead of a privately owned house."
Each community will be housed separated within the themed house, but there will be a dining area as well as common study spaces.
"It's right next door to the new freshman residents hall," Ternes said. "Hopefully this will bring more of a connection between our current members and the rest of the student population. That's one of the complaints we hear, that fraternity and sorority members are elitist and they want to go off in their own area. We want to engage with the rest of the population."
Mason said this will help with the housing shortage without sacrificing the safety of students.
"Bigger isn't always better," she said. "We want smaller, yet affordable. The smaller the community, the better they'll get to know each other. They'll know who's coming in and out of the building."
The facility is set to open with Wiest Hall in fall 2016.

Premier League's Swansea City coming to Dick's in July
Posted By Chuck Murphy On May 11, 2012 @ 10:00 am In Colorado Rapids,English Premier League | 4 Comments
Swansea City, a Premier League team now sitting in 12th place with a chance at reaching the top 10, will visit Dick's Sporting Goods Park for pre-season training in July, the Colorado Rapids announced this morning.
Swansea announced on their website that the team will play the Rapids and San Jose Earthquake during a 10-day American tour, with a possible third game still to be arranged. They will arrive here July 22 and play the Rapids on July 24, at 7 p.m. at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Everyone at the Rapids is thrilled to welcome Swansea City to Dick's Sporting Goods Park this summer," Colorado Rapids President Tim Hinchey said in a release posted this morning on the Rapids website. "They are a rising club that plays a great style of football, and we're looking forward to an exciting and fun match for all our fans."
The Swans, as they are known, are coming off a terrific Premier League season. Now sitting in 12th, they still have a shot at a top 10 finish. They play Liverpool Sunday in their final league game of the year. It will cap an incredible run through their first Premier League season, after winning promotion following the 2010-11 season.
Picked to struggle, Swansea has won 11 games, against 15 losses and 11 draws. The club, the first Welsh team to make it to the Premier League since it was formed in 1992, perhaps hit its high point with a 3-2 win over Stan Kroenke's Arsenal in January.
Tickets for the Rapids match against Swansea will go on sale to the general public on May 26 at 10 a.m., with a special pre-sale first for Rapids season ticket holders beginning May 16. Tickets for season ticket holders will be the same as their current Rapids seats. Tickets will be $22 for non-season ticket holders, with the option of buying a two-pack for $40 to get admission to the Swansea game and a September MLS match against Portland.

Funny that the entry calls it the English Premier League when Swansea is a Welsh club. The widely accepted nomenclature these days is "Premier Leage" or "Barclays Premier League" if you feel the need to include the sponsor.

In order for Swansea to go into the top ten of the EPL, they will have to beat Liverpool by a minimum of 3 goals! Not impossible, just highly improbable. That's also assuming that West Bromwich lose to Arsenal, which as a Gooner I'm definitely hoping for;-)

It's still the English Premier League, Swansea are the only Welsh team in the EPL so far, although I've a sneaking suspicion that Cardiff City may end up there soon! In addition, both Glasgow Rangers & Glasgow Celtic have made overtures regarding membership in the EPL, although I doubt that will happen anytime soon. As to the name "Barclays" Premier League, that's just paid naming rights, which can change.

The accident
6 May 1978, the oil tanker Eleni V was sailing in thick fog from
Rotterdam to Grangemouth with a load of 12,000 tonnes of heavy fuel
oil. The French bulk carrier Roseline ran into her about 10 km off
Norfolk coast in the North Sea. The bow section of the Eleni V was
pierced, releasing about 3,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil, and then
the 2,000 tonnes contained in the bow were spilled.
The 39 crew members were all rescued by the Roseline, and taken
to France before being repatriated to Greece.
stern was successfully towed to Rotterdam where the remaining cargo
was pumped out. It was then sold to Spanish shipbreakers and towed
to Santander in July for demolition.
Given the position of the incident, the oil slicks presented a possible
hazard for the English and Dutch coasts. The response operations
therefore had to be set up rapidly. The main method used for that
purpose was dispersant spraying. 11 vessels were involved in the
operations. A total of 900 tonnes of dispersants were used. However
all the efforts were in vain. Heavy fuel oils, such as those transported
in the Eleni V, are characterised by their high viscosity. They
cannot be pumped out without being heated and dispersants are almost
useless on them.
eventually reached the coast on the night of 7 May, polluting more
than 35 km of shoreline near Great Yarmouth. Many areas rich in
shellfish and popular tourist beaches were affected. Small amounts
of oil also reached the Dutch coasts. Given the ineffectiveness
of dispersants on this type of oil, different means had to be used
for onshore recovery operations. This involved mainly mechanical
techniques such as the use of front-end loaders to scrape off the
This was a very slow process and authorities were worried about
the impact on the coming tourist season. Furthermore some rocky
areas and some beaches were inaccessible for these vehicles. In
these places, manual cleaning was the only solution. Oil was shovelled
onto plastic bags for disposal in a designated dumping site.
another site, a recovery device using a polypropylene rope which
the oil adheres to removed about 1,000 tonnes of oil-in–water
emulsion. A boom was also used in Southwold harbour to protect the
entrance to the river Blythe. This equipment confined 100 tonnes
of oil and other debris which were then recovered for disposal in
the dumping site.
The bow part of the Eleni V
The forward section drifted away from the collision point and then
sank. As oil remained in this part of the vessel, the authorities
decided to refloat it and to tow it to a sandbank off Lowestoft
where most of the oil was pumped out of the wreck. On 30 May the
bow was towed about 45 km off the coast where it was blown up. The
remaining oil burned.

incident caused the authorities to realise that they were not prepared
for heavy fuel oil spills, which are extremely difficult to respond
to. Their means of dealing with the type of oil in question (dispersants,
pumping device) were inadequate because of the viscosity of oil.
The same incident with crude oil instead of heavy fuel oil would
have been much easier to deal with. They also learnt of the importance
of aerial surveillance with trained observers, which helped to forecast
arrivals of oil slicks on the coast and hence to take adequate measures
to avoid serious damage. Finally, they also had to cope with the
problem of finding a place to send recovered oil and oiled debris.

An international evaluation of ultrasound vs. computed tomography in the diagnosis of appendicitis

Abdominal computed tomography scan (CT) is the preferred radiographic study for the diagnosis of appendicitis in the United States, while radiologist-operated ultrasound (US) is often used in Israel. This comparative international study evaluates the performance of CT vs. US in the evaluation of acute appendicitis.
A retrospective chart analysis was conducted at two tertiary care teaching hospitals, one in each country. Adult patients (age 18-99) with an Emergency Department (ED) working diagnosis of appendicitis between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2006 were reviewed. Included patients had at least one imaging study, went to the OR, and had documented surgical pathology results.
Of 136 patients in the United States with the ED diagnosis of appendicitis, 79 met inclusion criteria for the CT cohort. Based on pathology, CT had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI 95.4-100%). The negative appendectomy rate in patients with positive CT was 0%. Total median ED length of stay was 533 min [IQR (450-632)] and median time from CT order to completion was 184 min [IQR (147-228)]. Of 520 patients in Israel, 197 were included in the US cohort. Based on final pathology, US had a sensitivity of 68.4% (95% CI 61.2-74.8%). The negative appendectomy rate in patients with positive US was 5.5%. The median ED length of stay for these patients was 387 min [IQR (259-571.5)]. Of the patients, 23.4% had subsequent CT scans. Median time from US order to completion was 20 min [IQR (7-49)]. Both time values were p < 0.001 when compared with CT. We furthermore calculate that a "first pass" approach of using US first, and then performing a confirmatory CT scan in patients with negative US, would have saved an average of 88.0 minutes per patient in the United States and avoided CT in 65% of patients.
Radiologist-operated US had inferior sensitivity and positive predictive value when compared with CT, though was significantly faster to perform, and avoided radiation and contrast in a majority of patients. A "first-pass" approach using US first and then CT if US is not diagnostic may be desirable in some institutions.
