Nearly four-and-a-half years after transferring its EMS operations to Lincoln County, Ruidoso Tuesday had its ambulance operating authority cancelled by the state.
In November 2009, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission called on the village to show why Ruidoso should not be found in violation of their charter to provide ambulance services.
"They needed to request of the Public Regulation Commission that the certificate be cancelled," said Commissioner Ben Hall of Ruidoso.
"Just by them saying we don't want it anymore, that doesn't do it. My concern was that there were certain stipulations in that certificate that might cause Lincoln County to fall under some obligations that Ruidoso had originally made under their certificate. So I initiated the process to have it cancelled. And this relieves Ruidoso of any responsibility for what may have been on that certificate."
Ruidoso certificate required the village to provide ambulance services in Lincoln County and on the Mescalero Apache Reservation beyond Lincoln County.
In September 2006, the village turned over its ambulances and EMS facilities at the Lincoln County Medical Center to the county.
Lincoln County's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity permitting ambulance operations does not include Mescalero.
The matter really surfaced in January 2009 when a student, waiting for a school bus on the reservation, was struck by a car. It took 45 minutes for an Otero County contracted ambulance based in Alamogordo to reach the location on the north side of Mescalero.
Hall said Mescalero has an issue with emergency medical responses.
"I was at the tribal council meeting about six weeks ago and we talked with President Mark Chino about their ambulance service and we're trying to figure out a way we can help them," Hall said. "It's sad to say, but they don't have proper ambulance service on the Mescalero Indian Reservation. Part of that is due to the fact that they are a sovereign nation that pays no taxes into the coffers of Otero County which really should be the one to provide the ambulance service. But in order to provide service they have to be compensated somehow."
Hall said the issue is beyond the authority of the PRC.
"It's up to them to work out a deal with Otero County, or Lincoln County, if Lincoln County wants to do that. We can't force anybody, Lincoln County or Otero County, to provide the full coverage for the Mescaleros that they need."
Hall said the PRC could help the tribe obtain a certificate to operate ambulances.
The PRC's action on Tuesday canceling Ruidoso's certificate concluded an inquiry by the commission involving the lack of required ambulance operations under the terms of the certificate.
The village had been potentially liable for a $10,000 fine, which Hall said the PRC did not impose.

Here's the scenario that I have been asked to take a look at :-
Ecommerce website - emails being sent out - firstname.lastname@example.com
Office environment - local and remote users - firstname.lastname@example.com, fred@ etc. etc.
The customer prefers Office365. My proposal would be for the local office / remote users the cloud based Office365 for email and for the website/ back-end systems (these will be hosted with rackspace) that a VM acting as an MTA is used.
Sound like it would work ? As I haven't had much exposure to Office365, save for a free trial, I thought I'd pop this question before proceeding any further.

Yep, I do a similar thing. I assume the ecommerce site is only sending emails, not receiving them.
My setup:
Email hosted at Office 365 - firstname.lastname@example.com, etc
Website (https:/
The only trick to it is making sure that you mention your Rackspace IP/Domain in your DNS SPF records. This prevents those emails from being marked as spam or spoofed. Mine looks like this, and shows both the Office 365 and Amazon as allowed sources for email for our domain

You're a star. Just the answer I was looking for and a great piece of advertising into the bargain. You run just the software I was looking for to get a handle on all this too. Not sure if we'll pip the 25 user limit just yet though.
Many Thanks
Office Convergence Ltd.

I wasn't advertising, I was using a real world example ;-) If you've got less than 25 users, you get to use our software for free, can't go wrong with that!

Only pulling your leg Alan. But had you not responded I simply wouldn't have even thought that there was such a company as yourselves.
Jan 20, 2013 at 6:38 UTC
Office 365 here. Checking out Cogmotive now, lol.
We use O365 internally and are very happy with it in general. We work with several competitors so we are pretty neutral as to which solution is best. Rackspace and Google Apps are really good alternatives, but O365 has been great.
Jan 20, 2013 at 10:39 UTC
I was able to get to the page.
I'd be curious how you guys compare to like Office 365 Command. I've been looking for a solution that I can add all the people I setup with Office 365 so I can help them proactively monitor their accounts.

April Scott
April Scott During high school, she frequently participated in beauty pageants and won more than half of them. Scott finished her graduation in 1997. At that time she was known as April Mcintosh. Soon after her graduation Scott took admission in the College of the Ozarks, a Christian College in Point Lookout, Missouri. Scott was good at studies and managed to procure the degree in Theater and a minor in rhetoric. Scott then made a move to the Los Angeles to formally take up a career in acting. Scott has delivered her best in
acting in shows such as 'Entourage', 'The Shield', 'Ripley's Believe
It or Not' and 'CSI: Miami'. The American beauty has also displayed
her talent in hosting the sports channel ESPN2's new show, 'The
HookÂ' in which she takes the interview of some extreme sports
athletes who endeavored to do the most extraordinary things. She
continued to offer her incredible skills as an actress in a 2
episode gig on the HBO series, 'Entourage'. Scott played the role of
the caseholder model for the NBC's popular game show, 'Deal or No
DealÂ'. She has also been casted to play the character of the sole

TomorrowÂ'. April Scott Latest News: April Scott the Beauty Pageant - posted 4th December 2009
When we are born may be we are incapable of realizing our talents. This one is a common factor in all of us as it was eminent in the todayÂ's most prominent actress and beauty pageant April Scott. She has been able to become who she is today because of her tireless efforts in her daily undertakings. Is April Writing Another Book? - posted 23rd January 2009 As anyone who is a fan of April Scott knows, April has already written one book. In case you aren't familiar with April or the book that she wrote, the first book she authored was called Behind the Briefcase. Because April worked on the extremely popular television show Deal or No Deal, she thought people would be interested in knowing about what goes on behind the scenes of the show. Judging by the popularity of her first book, she was completely correct. The book was released back in April of 2008, and it has continued to be quite popular. April Does Carrie - posted 25th September 2008 Earlier this month, April appeared on No Good TV and did a five minute interview with host Carrie Keegan. In case you're not familiar with No Good TV, they refer to themselves as the world's largest producer of uncensored celebrity news and entertainment programming. As always, April was interesting to listen to, and provided some fun and interesting information about her career and personal life. Here are some of the most interesting facts that I picked up from her interview: April Scott Releases Her Autobiography - posted 27th July 2008 From a small girl in Poplar Bluff, MO to the valedictorian of her class at College of the Ozarks to an actress in Los Angeles, in less than thirty years, April Scott has had a very interesting life. To document everything that has happened to her, April released her autobiography at the beginning of June. |

I've been to a few comedy shows, and I've never witnessed any cat calling and heckling. These days, it seems to be the other way around: the comedian finds ways to pick on members of the audience.
In fact, at the last show I went to, I feel like my table was the only table the comedian didn't pick on! I was pretty glad, because I didn't go out to see a comedy show to get insulted by the comedian I paid money to see!

Early spring is an ideal time to fertilize tall fescue pastures, says Oscar Ingram, University of Missouri extension agronomy specialist.
He says a ton of fescue removes about 45 lbs of nitrogen, 12 lbs of phosphorus and 50 lbs of potassium. But nutrient removal can be highly variable under pasture conditions.
"For the best results, soil samples should be taken and fertilizer applied according to test results," Ingram advises.
In the absence of test results, he suggests broadcasting a mixed fertilizer such as 90-30-120 just before green-up to stimulate grass growth in spring and early summer.

More reviews by MollyGoLightly
Hmmmm...this is a tough one! On one hand, I hate the application of this product. It's really dry, and as someone else mentioned, it does feel like spackle. It's not easy to put on by any means.
AND -- once it's on, you certainly can't use it as stand alone shadow. You really do need to put something else on top of it.
BUT -- have said all of that, this is a GREAT base!! I *always* end up with creases in my shadows, unless I'm wearing thigh highs. It's really awesome and keeps shadow on & uncreased MUCH MUCH longer than wearing no base.
Soooo -- overall, yes, I would recommend this -- but only if you're looking for a great base.
I LOVE all of Benefit's creme shadows. This is my favorite "can't do without" color. Neutral, I wear it as my all over lid color and blend in something a little darker in the crease. Great on weekends when I don't wear much eye makeup. I love this product ... no creasing, long lasting and a great deal for $13.00.
I absolutely adore the creaseless creams. However, this is in a "color" review category - so, here goes.
This is one of the "matte"-ish colors. A lot of the creaseless creams have pretty shimmer, but this does not. I do use the creaseless creams as an eyeshadow base - but, this one, I don't know if I can put my finger on it, I feel like I'm spackling concealer on my eyelid.
This one felt much drier to me than the other colors with shimmer, and looked dry on my eye (crud building). I was not pleased with the result of this color.
Thumbs down! :(

Hey guys.
Have any of you tried to do this ?
Are there any reasons to NOT use a manual chuck on a CnC lathe ?
We have this new (to us) CnC lathe. It came with a 6 jaw, 10 inch manual chuck.
We are thinking about getting a hydrolic 10 inch chuck for it, but just wondering if using a manual would be ok ? Or is this just stupid ?

POSTED: Saturday, August 10, 2013 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, August 10, 2013 - 10:04am
IRVING, TX — Since 2011, The National Football Foundation has partnered with Rogers Redding, the national coordinator of College Football Officiating, to help generate awareness for the rule changes in college football through a series of regular columns distributed by the NFF.
With training camps in full swing, the month of August provides the perfect time for the NFF to highlight the key changes featured in Redding's columns during the past several months that will be in effect during the 2013 season.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee have adopted the CFO's recommendations to create a safer environment for football student-athletes.
The 8 Major Rule Changes for the 2013 Season
1. Targeting Fouls: Automatic Ejection, Part I:
Players will automatically be disqualified from the game for targeting fouls, including (Rule 9-1-3) targeting and initiating contact with the crown of the helmet, and (Rule 9-1-4) targeting and initiating contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, elbow or shoulder. The foul itself has not changed. These plays have been illegal for a number of years, but the penalty has been stiffened to include automatic ejection plus the 15-yard penalty.
2. Targeting Fouls: Automatic Ejection, Part II:
A player is at great risk of being ejected from the game for a launch (leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make contact in the head or neck area); a crouch (followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with contact at the head or neck area); leading (with helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with contact at the head or neck area); or lowering (the head before attacking by initiating contact with the crown of the helmet).
3. Offensive Blocking Below the Waist Rule:
The rule establishes a zone for the offense that extends seven yards from the snapper toward each sideline and goes five yards into the defensive secondary and in the other direction all the way back to the offensive team's end line. Within this zone, an offensive back who is stationary inside the tackle box and an offensive lineman inside the seven-yard zone may legally block below the waist until the ball has left the zone. Everyone else on the offensive team may legally block below the waist only if the block is clearly to the front of the opponent. This only-from-the-front rule also holds true for everyone on the offensive team once the ball has left the zone. In addition, no one on the offense is allowed to block below the waist if the block is directed toward his own end line.
4. Expansion of the 10-Second Runoff Rule:
In 2013, if a player is injured within the last minute of a half, and this is the only reason for stopping the clock, the opponent may choose to have 10 seconds subtracted from the game clock. The injured player's team can preserve the 10 seconds by using a timeout.
5. Player May Remain in the Game Via a Timeout After Helmet Comes Off:
The rule requiring a player to leave the game for one down if his helmet comes off has been modified to allow a player to remain in the game if his team is granted a charged timeout to adjust the player's helmet.
6. Minimum Time to Spike the Ball for Another Play Set at 3 Seconds:
Teams will need a minimum of three seconds from the referee's signal to "spike" the ball to allow for another play at the end of a half. Teams must still execute the spike, but they will have a reasonable opportunity for another play. If the clock shows one or two seconds, they will only have enough time to run a play without first spiking the ball.
7. Procedures for Changing Jersey Numbers During a Game:
If a team wants to use a player at two different positions during the game, and they need to change jersey numbers, the player must report to the referee who will in turn announce the change. In addition, two players who play the same position at different times in the game may not wear the same number during the game. For example, two quarterbacks may not both wear number 12.
8. Player Uniform Numerals Must Contrast With the Color of the Jersey:
The color of the jersey number itself must be clearly and obviously in contrast with the jersey, regardless of any border around the number. For example, teams will not be allowed to wear black numbers on black jerseys with a border of a bright color around the numeral; it must clearly contrast with the jersey in and of itself.

Looking for New Ways to Assess Science Units: Summative Assessments

Hi, my name is Kelly Watson and I teach 2nd grade. Science is one of my favorite subjects and I enjoy teaching it. We use the Foss learning kits and my students really enjoy the hands on experiments and activities. I feel that there are many types of formative assessments to do throughout the unit, however my team and I have struggled with coming up with a way to assess the students at the end of the unit. What are some summative assessments you have used in science and/or assessments you have used with the Foss kits if you use them in your classroom? Our units we work on throughout the year are plants, solids and liquids and rocks.

The breeds of chicken used by industry—mostly a cross between Plymouth Rock and White Cornish, descendants of birds bred for big and muscular breasts to make them good cockfighters—have been selected to be docile and timid, and to reach slaughter weight as fast as possible. Reese jealously protects his long-perfected Barred Plymouth Rock breeding stock, which he supplies to four farms that raise chickens for him. (You can order whole birds through Heritage Foods; Reese sells chicken breasts and pieces at www.reeseturkeys.com.)
Birds that exercise have a firmer texture and take extra time to cook, but the payoff for patience is high. Reese told me about a customer who telephoned in tears of happiness because for the forty-five years of her marriage, her husband had said she couldn't make chicken and dumplings; she had assumed that the problem was her hand with the dumplings. After she cooked one of Reese's birds, her husband said she had finally made chicken and dumplings. (For recipes built around real chicken, including chicken with dumplings, try The Taste of Country Cooking, by the late Edna Lewis—one of the great cookbooks of the past fifty years.)
Farmers who raise chickens for Reese must adhere to guidelines of the Animal Welfare Institute: access to the outdoors and to clean water at all times; no antibiotics or animal by-products in feed; no clipping of wings, beaks, or toenails; and of course no abuse. (Steve Striffler, an anthropologist at the University of Arkansas who worked at a poultry-processing plant, gives a powerful and disturbing report of modern industrial practices in Chicken: The Dangerous Transformation of America's Favorite Food.) Reese additionally mandates access to trees or brush or other outdoor sources of shade, and proper roosts so that no birds sleep on the ground. The four chicken farmers he works with "tore their cages down," he told me. "They say it's amazing how much they're enjoying the chickens. They never enjoyed them before."
Reese's years of breeding, and of finding like-minded farmers, could come to an abrupt end if H5N1 is discovered on any of the farms raising chickens for him—or maybe anywhere else in Kansas, depending on the policies state and federal officials adopt. He is proud of the hardiness of his birds: "It's like comparing the immune system of an athlete to someone who's obese and has diabetes," he says. But in an outbreak anywhere near him, his chickens would probably not be exempted from slaughter. As he and his fellow small-scale farmers know, no matter how robust a chicken, exposure to a new and highly pathogenic virus like H5N1 will be as calamitous to their flocks as it would be to weak, stressed, drugged-up, locked-up factory birds. Reese hopes that his distance from the biggest chicken-producing places in the country—including Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, and the Delmarva Peninsula, which incorporates parts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia—will serve as protection. Unlike large-scale producers, Reese keeps no reserve of breeding stock in a high-security location in another state. He can't afford to. He still works full-time as a nurse anesthetist to support his farming. A mandatory slaughter order would wipe out decades of effort.
Frank and Laura Kay Jones have the air of crusading hippies—and why not? They are putting their life savings into raising and selling Barred Plymouth Rock chickens (the kind Reese favors) at Earth Shine Farm, in Durand, Michigan, near Flint and Lansing. (The farm's name comes from a 1969 book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh about the first moon-orbiting flight.) Frank, who worked for decades at General Motors as a union representative for the United Auto Workers, wanted to make the couple's twelve acres pay—preferably with more of the same chickens they had long been raising. Laura Kay took a hard-line organic and animal-rights stand. Using as a starting point Joel Salatin's rousing lectures and his book Pastured Poultry Profits, the Joneses experimented with breeds, different movable coops for the birds to sleep in, schedules of pasture rotation, configurations of buildings, and equipment for slaughtering and quick chilling. They consulted (and tussled) with local and state inspectors.

Looking to scratch that live music itch this weekend but haven't decided exactly what location is itchy or which band to use as the backscratcher?
Here are a couple of interesting items that crossed my e-mail in the last day or two:
The KDB, the duo featuring Dave Porter and Kelly Wilcox, who made their considerable marks with 805 and Cold Sweat, respectively, mix their rock and blues with percussion and visual help from the machine they've affectionately (perhaps) named Bob the Wireframe Robot, goes north for a weekend in the mountains.
The KDB plays Friday and Saturday night at Daikers in Old Forge, on Route 28 just north of the village.
If you'd like to link to the KDB myspace page, click here.
If you'd like to link to Daikers' web site, click here.
R&B and jazz will share the stage at a benifit show from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Highland Golf and Country Club on Franklin Street Road in Auburn.
The bands are Joe Whiting, The Soda Ash Six and Bob Piorun and the Convertibles.
Tickets are $20, and the proceeds benefit the restoration project at Willard Memorial Chapel.
For information, call 252-0339.
Mundy Branch Library, 1205 Geddes St., Syracuse, hosts a celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Featured artists include Puerto Rican soprano Thelma Ithier-Sterling and pianist Raymond Torres-Santos performing traditional boleros.
Ithier-Sterling is on the faculty for visual and performing arts at Hostos Community College of CUNY. Torres-Santos is the former Chancellor of the Puerto Rican Conservatory of Muis and is also on the faculty at Hostos CC.
There's no admission fee.
Keep listening,

Locked And Loaded: Why And How To Use Weighted Carries
Many lifters resort to drastic measures to pair big, healthy shoulders with a crushing grip. Some follow outrageously complex training regimens or layer on high volume and various delt raise variations. What if I told you that building a big yoke and a mammoth grip is as simple as picking up weight and walking with it? Believe it. Loaded carry variations take grip strength, trap size, and delt growth to new levels.
Loaded carries are simple. Pick up something heavy, hold on for dear life, and walk like you mean it. There's no complicated process associated with weighted walking, but there are a few programming parameters to consider. Reasoning is also a must. Let's examine why you should do loaded carries before digging into how to program them.
The Case for Carries
I work mostly with football and rugby players, so building stronger traps is a matter of function for their given sports. As a coach, I made building yokes on high school and college players a point of pride.
Before training the upper traps, it's important to understand their muscle fiber composition. They're predominantly slow-twitch muscles, so making them grow is often the product of a lot of time under tension (TUT), accomplished by holding something heavy and taking a walk with it or large work volumes.
The growth of the service industry marked the death of grip strength. Rather than hauling bricks and slinging nails, men are cornered in cubicle confines typing reports and organizing spreadsheets. As grip slips, carpal tunnel syndrome holds strong.
Grip strength, though, is crucial for every lifter and athlete—even physique athletes. The more weight the hands can grasp, the larger the muscles can grow.
A strong grip also starts the process of irradiation, which is the recruitment of adjacent muscles throughout the body. This process sends signals to the brain that it's OK to let loose and produce savage amounts of force.
Farmer's walks build balanced strength and stability in the shoulder girdle. As you walk with something heavy, the shoulder blade aligns where it should be and the supporting musculature is recruited, thereby improving posture and shoulder function.
Bill Kazmaier, possibly one of the strongest men who ever lived, has a great quote: "Strong back, strong man." I couldn't agree more, especially when we think of the back as it functions with the core.
The lats comprise a large portion of the back musculature and are important core muscles. Playing a dynamic strength and core stability role alongside the lats are the abs (rectus abdominus and obliques), spinal erectors, quadratus lumborum, and glutes.
Loaded carries, especially unilateral variations, demand massive core muscles to grind and protect the spine. Carry consistently and you'll earn a strong back on your way to becoming a strong man.
How to Carry
The basic loaded carry is simple: Pick up a heavy object with one or both hands, hold it, and walk for distance or time. Even so, there are a variety of loaded carry variations. These are some of the most popular.
Grab a heavy weight in each hand—such as a dumbbell, kettlebell, or farmer's walk handle—get tall, and walk.

Same as above, except performed with only one hand.
Unilateral Farmer's Walk

Hold two kettlebells or dumbbells in the rack position. Walk.
Double Rack Walk

Same as above, but performed with only one arm.
Unilateral Rack Walk
Watch The Video - 00:22
Hold one kettlebell or dumbbell in the rack position, and hold another in the traditional farmer's walk position at your side. Don't be afraid to use a heavier weight in the down hand.
Combo Walk
Watch The Video - 00:24
Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell overhead with the elbow locked, like a waiter carrying a food tray.
Waiters Walk
Watch The Video - 00:21
There are two simple ways to program carries—time and distance. Lighter weight works best to build grip strength and should be programmed by increasing the time under tension. Heavy weights are best programmed to meet a certain distance with single sets or by meeting a total distance added up during subsequent sets. It all depends on where you place loaded carries in your training sessions.
You can also warm up before a workout with loaded carries. You need enough weight to make the carry worthwhile, but not so much that it's taxing. The goal is grip strength and shoulder muscle activation. My high school football players, depending on strength, use 40-60 pounds and do a few 30-second carries.
Carries also work well in a superset paired with another exercise, or as a standalone exercise mid-workout. In either case, time or distance carries work. Just make sure that your exercise pairings make sense. Don't superset heavy deadlifts with farmer's walks. Upper body pressing variations work well with carries. My favorite combo is incline bench with farmer's walks.
I also like to use heavy carries as a finisher and walk for distance. Finishers are a time for building intestinal fortitude. There's nothing like hauling heavy weight to end a training session.
For years, I thought pinning the shoulder blades back and down for loaded carries was correct. I was wrong. While performing the variations described above, make your spine as long as possible, grab the weight with fierce intent, and let your shoulder blade settle naturally.
Visualize a string attached to the top of your head and another to your sacrum. Pull each of these strings in your mind and stand tall. Your posture will instantly improve. Hold this position while breathing low into your belly.
When doing farmer's walks with lumberjack-approved weight, keep the weight slightly off-center in your hand so it's marginally polarized toward the front of your hand. This keeps the predominance of the stress on your first three fingers—the strongest ones for grip. The last thing a lifter needs is pinky failure halfway through a heavy walk.
Training seems complicated, but it doesn't have to be. A strong grip, healthy shoulders, and massive traps are yours by simply picking up something heavy and taking a stroll.

The Diocese of Worcester and New England is part of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, and is led by His Grace Bishop John.
Our Diocese was created in 2004 following the historic decision of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Antioch to grant autonomous status to the Antiochian Orthodox Church in North America and recognize it as a Self-Ruled local Church. The former regional system of the Archdiocese was then converted to a Diocesan structure and the New England Region became the Diocese of Worcester and New England. The Diocesan Cathedral is St. George in Worcester.
On December 11th, 2011, Archamandrite John Abdalah was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Worcester. Our Diocese consists of eleven parishes served by thirteen priests and seven deacons.

DOE Conducts Energy Assessments in Mississippi and Pennsylvania
April 19, 2006
DOE launched industrial Energy Saving Assessments on April 19th at a paper mill in Mississippi and a food processing plant in Pennsylvania. The Bowater Incorporated paper mill in Grenada, Mississippi, produces 247,000 metric tons of newsprint each year. The Michael Foods facility in Klingerstown, Pennsylvania, dries and processes egg products. DOE's free three-day energy assessments are helping major manufacturing facilities to identify energy-saving opportunities, primarily by focusing on steam and process heating systems used at the plants. See the Bowater Web site and the DOE press releases on the visits to Mississippi and Pennsylvania.
DOE's Energy Saving Teams have completed visits to 29 large federal facilities and are in the process of visiting 200 energy-intensive manufacturing facilities as part of the national "Easy Ways to Save Energy" campaign launched in October 2005. The first 22 industrial Energy Saving Assessments have identified a total of $78 million per year in potential energy cost savings. If implemented, these energy-saving measures could reduce natural gas consumption by more than 9 trillion Btu per year. See the results of many of these industrial Energy Saving Assessments on the "Save Energy Now" Web site, provided by DOE's Industrial Technologies Program.

Cute & Durable
I like these. I've used them on the older girls' thermos, and my baby's sippy cups. They are a bit big for the sippy cups, but perfect size for bigger thermos. And I've used them to label their lunch boxes, backpacks, and nap mats/blankets. - Goddess ,
Pearland, TX
Super Cute & Works Great!!
These waterproof stickers work great! I've put them on my daughter's sippy cups and plastic lunch containers and they are holdign up great. They have been through the dish washer a few times and still look like new. I only wish that smaller sizes of the sticker were available for smaller items. I had to cut a few of the labels to make them smaller to fit on a few of my daughter's lunch containers. All in all I like the stickers and will purchase them again when I need more. - Lu the Mom ,

Great products!!
Very cute products! [...] Used for back to school labels and i will order again. Thanks!! - JS ,
I would by this product again and again!
I use on my daughter's lunch bag for school, folders, and just about anything. - Ivette ,

Vermont's pick-your-own orchards will offer a chance to win an iPod during the "Apples to iPods" promotion that kicks off September 7.
In this technology-meets-agriculture contest, one specially marked wooden apple is hidden in an apple tree at 20 Vermont pick-your-own apple orchards. The lucky apple picker who finds a wooden apple wins an Apple iPod, iPod Shuffle or iPad.This good-natured promotion of Vermont's working landscape is in partnership with Woodchuck® Hard Cider, Small Dog Electronics, Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture. The State of Vermont first launched this promotion in 2007 with hopes of growing participation at Vermont pick-your-own orchards. Since the launch, participation has been incredibly 'fruitful' across Vermont.
Vermont's nearly 4,000 acres of commercial apple orchards produce leading apple varieties: McIntosh, Cortland, Red Delicious and Empire. In 1999, the Vermont legislature designated the apple as the state fruit, and the apple pie as the state pie."Visiting Vermont's apple orchards is a family tradition and in true Vermont fashion, the 'Apples to iPods' contest makes this fall event even more fun," said Megan Smith, Vermont's Commissioner of Tourism and Marketing. "Apple picking is the perfect way to experience Vermont's gorgeous autumn landscape and participate in a festive and tasty activity."
For a second year, the Vermont Department of Tourism is also helping the Vermont Foodbank promote Pick for Your Neighbor, where visitors to participating orchards can pick and purchase extra apples to donate to the Foodbank. Last year, Pick for Your Neighbor made nearly 10,000 apples available to Vermonters in need. "Pick for Your neighbor is a win for all involved," Michelle Wallace, Program Director at the Vermont Foodbank said. "Orchards see an economic benefit from increased sales, the Foodbank has access to fresh, local apples for distribution, and participants experience a great Vermont tradition while helping their neighbors in need." For a list of participating orchards, please visit www.applestoipods.com and plan your trip at www.vermontvacation.com.Contact: Jen Butson, Vermont Dept. of Tourism & firstname.lastname@example.com: Vermont Tourism802.522.7323

GOOD READING....I've fallen woefully behind on articles and blog posts I want to link to. Rather than just delete them en masse from my email inbox, though, here they are in quickie linkdump form:
This week National Journal rated the healthcare plans from the main presidential candidates. Basically, they created 13 categories, or goals, and gave each candidate a score of 1-10 for each goal. The Democrats ended up being bunched pretty tightly: Hillary Clinton scored 86, John Edwards scored 83, and Barack Obama scored 81. The Republican scores were so pitiful I didn't bother adding them up. Details here.
UPDATE: As Matt points out, the basic breakdown here is that Democrats do well on goals associated with providing better healthcare to more people, while the Republicans tend to do well only on categories related to spending less money. In terms of actually accomplishing anything, the Republican plans pretty much suck.
In "Spies Around the Watercooler," Laura Rozen writes about the unique problems faced by women who work for the CIA. Turns out it goes beyond just Valerie Plame.
Jeb Koogler notes that al-Qaeda in Iraq is getting pretty good at hearts-and-minds counterinsurgency.
Over half of all public school children in the South now come from families poor enough to qualify for school lunch assistance. And no, it's not because all the rich ones are leaving the public school system for private schools. There are just more families who don't have much money these days.
What if torture works? Does that make it OK?
Ilan Goldenberg links to a new GAO report that says our efforts in Iraq "lack strategies with clear purpose, scope, roles, and performance measures."
Salon has a long piece tonight about the Bush administration's war on whistleblowers. Don't let the sitepass stop you from reading it; it only takes a few seconds to get through it.
Stories like this make me fear for the future of the country. The punchline is at the end, of course.
Attention physics nerds: the New York Times says a plane flying through a crosswind travels faster than it would in clear skies. I say that's bogus, assuming you actually want to get to your destination. Anyone care to referee this problem? Your competition is a bunch of precocious ninth graders.
The crosswind question isn't phrased in a practical manner. But, consider a plane whose airspeed is 0 but encounters a 10 mph crosswind. (And by airspeed I mean the component of airspeed along the lengthwise axis of the plane.)
But it's a mostly useless question. A more useful question is, if you want to head north and the wind is blowing due west, does it take longer to get to where you want to go than if there was no wind at all.
It's the same principle as a sailboat, isn't it?
The sex offender story is disturbing because, like the Amber Alert system it's another way to make us buy a growing police state "for the children."
Last summer there was a spate of child kidnapping stories, even though the number of actual child kidnappings was down. The RFID tags for pets they're pushing now? Next they'll be for kids, for their own safety. Within a generation the total clampdown will be in place.
But wasn't this freedom shit fun for a while?
The exact phrasing, like in many physics questions, matters immensely.
It is only talking about absolute land-speed, and the direction of the crosswind is relative to the direction of motion, not any specific destination.
So yes - plane travels faster - but that won't guarantee you get to the destination earlier.
Sailboats use a plane in another media to translate force of the wind into motion. But in essence, it is similar.
I'm trying to remember my aeronautic engineering course from fifteen years ago... Oy.
If the pilot keeps heading in the exact same direction he would have if there had been no crosswind, then the plane will be carried sidewise by the crosswind and its speed in the direction it is actually moving will be greater. (It will also veer away from its destination).
But if the pilot corrects for the headwind (as I presume pilots do) and turns slightly into it, then the plane will move in the exact direction it would have without the wind, and, presumably, at the same speed.
Of course, if the pilot adjusts the direction then it's no longer a 90 degree crosswind. Or is it? Depends on your definition of a 90 degree crosswind (angle measured w.r.t to the fuselage or the actual plane motion?)
I see everyone else is tackling the airplane crosswind = sailboat thing too. Lemme throw my $.02.
Sails look just like (are just like) airplane wings when seen end-on, like the Nike shoe logo.
Sailboats move forward because air travelling over the curved surface creates high pressure in the windward side and low pressure on the lee side. In truth, the boat should just move in the same direction as the wind flow, but the keel prevents that. The equivalent of a boat keel is that big airplane tail.
Sailboats have no propulsion beyond the wind flow. Now it shouldn't be a big leap of intuition to see that airplanes would also get some forward impulse from a crosswind, in addition to that provided by their engines.
As for your other questions:
Torture DOESN'T work, so your question is moot. Stop enabling Republican frames.
What are you getting at with the 'fear for the future' link? Curfews for child molesters on Halloween is a bad thing?
The crosswind thing is bogus. When you turn the plane into the wind to compensate for it, that reduces the forward component of your thrust vector by an amount proportional to the cosine of the angle you had to turn.
P.S. I didn't mention that the equivalent vector of 'forward' for a boat is 'lift' on a plane. Crosswinds are free lift. Less energy spent toward maintaining altitude means more for going forward.
Speaking as a pilot and flight instructor This has practical real-lfe application. If there is a wind 90 degrees to the desired course then the ground speed will be decreased. This is beacuse in order to keep the plane on the desired course line that course line must be the result of two vectors, one that heads in the direction of the wind to keep on course, the other being the wind. Since some of the force propelling the plane must be vectored away from the course line there is less force along that line. If you draw a vector diagram the course line becomes shorter.
If however you accept the drift that the wind brings then the force propeling the aircraft is directly along the course line and the wind vector is additive. The resultant vector is longer, the speed greater. You would be saying the resultant vector is the course line now. But that pts the wind compnenet at a slight tailwind to that new course line.
The rule I teach is that if the wind is not at least somewhat to your back it will slow you down.
Here's anther one that gets most people. If you fly a course that is directly with the wind at your back and then return on the reciprocal of that course directly into the wind it will take you longer to do the round trip with the wind blowing for the whole trip than it would if the wind was calm. Intuition tells you you would make up whatever speed was lost going into the wind on the downwind trip but no. Do the math. To make it easy assume a 100 mile trip each way with a 100 mph plane and a 50 mph wind. Without wind it takes 2 hours round trip. With wind it takes two hours just to go one way against the wind.
Hell, I know enough to defer to a guy who flies for a living.
The whole plane argument is predicated on having a swept wing, of course. Without a swept wing there would be no component of lift from a 90degree to flight path wind. Since most people are familiar with the wings on jets which are all swept, angled less than 90 degrees from the rear of the plane I guess most people take this form granted. Since this will only affect one side of the plane it will not be a symmetric force like those of a head or tail wind and thus not additive or subtractive from the airspeed.
Crosswinds are free lift. Less energy spent toward maintaining altitude means more for going forward.
It's not clear that a wind at 90 degrees to a plane's fuselage axis will create positive lift. My guess is the net lift effect will be different for different planes -- and could be negative as well as positive.
If the pilot turns slightly into the headwind, then the plane will definitely get some extra lift from that. But it will also use up more energy fighting the headwind. Not clear what the net will be, but I would guess it needs more fuel to travel at the same speed.
That's the point, you don't turn the aircraft into the wind. That'd be dumb, and fighting the wind.
An aircraft has wings, which produce lift via drag. It also has some sort of propulsion. It is traveling in three dimensions. The drag of creating lift slows the rate at which the aircraft's propulsion can move it forward.
An aircraft is always trying not to fall toward the earth. But like a sail tacking into the wind, but more like 'falling' into the wind. So instead of fighting the wind, the aircraft tilts slightly into the wind, so that some of the lift that would have been created by the propulsion is now created by the wind. That allows the propulsion to be used more for forward motion instead of vertical motion.
What about the river and the life preserver? I say go for the one behind you; as you fall into the river, it will take some time for your speed to equalize to the river's speed, while life preservers are either already moving at the river's speed, or would equalize much faster than your body.
But from my experience with word problems in math class, I think you're intended to assume that your speed has already equalized to the river's, so you're supposed to answer that it doesn't make a difference which way you swim. I always found these kind of "gotcha" word problems stupid, because if you don't specify all the relevant facts they aren't quite answerable, while if you do specify all the relevant facts, it gives the game away.
The ground velocity is the vector sum of the wind velocity and the air velocity, so of course the ground speed is faster in a cross wind.
...Umm, of course, there is an amount of weight to lift issue you have. If you have alot of lift to your weight - like a small plane - you won't be able to fall into the wind fast enough to make it up.
Light planes are always fighting the wind.
But a large plane which has less lift to its weight, will be able to make more out of the wind.
Gliders, for instance, are always falling into the wind to create lift. That's why it works at all. Of course, they do not have propulsion, and therefore can't go faster.
Excellent to link on the misguided sex offender story, Kevin.
Everybody inflates "stranger danger" way out of proportion, and society still refuses to talk about incestuous parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and even older siblings.
You should do the backstroke towards the upstream life preserver, because when you're being swept downstream it's safest to go feet-first on your back.
The article says the students explain their answer using Newtonian physics and diagrams with triangles. Lift and drag are beyond Newton, so obviously they are explaining it by summing two vectors: the forward motion vector that is unchanged by the crosswind and the side motion vector due to the crosswind. (A diagram of the sum of two perpendicular vectors is a right triangle with the two vectors on the sides and the sum on the hypotenuse.)
Since the sum is longer than just the forward motion vector with no crosswind, they conclude that your ground speed is higher.
As Kevin pointed out, who cares if you speed is higher if you are not going the direction you want?
The airplane/wind problem is simply an extension of the life preserver problem, adding a different frame of reference for consideration.
A properly trimmed aircraft, while in flight, does not care what the wind is doing. The speed through the air (indicated airspeed) will be the same no matter the direction of flight.
Once you add the consideration of groundspeed, however, then windspeed and direction become important. As pointed out, the constraint of 90 degrees needs to be further refined, 90 degrees to the flight path or 90 degrees to a course referred to the ground.
Consider what happens when you propel a boat to cross from one side of a (flowing) river to another.
If you do not care where you end up, then the flowing river will have no effect on your arrival time (assuming parallel sides and constant speed - in this case, wind 90 degrees to ones path through the air)
If you do care where you end up (say directly across from where you started), then you must point your bow into the current, effectively dividing your speed between crossing the river and compensating for the current (wind 90 degrees to ones desired ground track). If will take longer, depending on the speed of the current.
Angled wings have nothing to do with the exercise, unless one is not trimmed properly, but then, you have other problems.
One thing to watch out for in grade-school treatments of how airplanes fly is the 'Bernoulli Principle' explanation for lift-- easy to understand and, unfortunately, bogus. Try, e.g., explaining how an airplane can fly upside-down. See Google for details.
Moving air is less dense than staionary air. That means less drag on the plane, so it moves faster.
This is the reason that the plane is flying in the first place. Because of the curve of the wing, the air flowing over the top of the wing is less dense than the air under it, creating lift.
An airplane flies upside down because the drag it creates by the angle of its wings hitting the oncoming air overcomes the loss of lift from the wing. The Google article explains this. It also notes that planes flying upside down do it for a very short time, just long enough to awe the crowd. A plane flying rightside up and using lift from the wing can fly that way for many, many hours.
Crissa, the weight of the plane makes no difference. Pilots use the same calculation for course correction regardless of the plane they are flying. Similarly, the sweep angle of the wings is not a factor.
Look up "E-3 Calculator". That's the device used. It was invented in the thirties, and is still the tool for the job today.
Not to change the subject too much, but you can receive assistance under the school lunch program if your family's income is 185% of the federal poverty level or less. So kids who receive school lunch assistance are not necessarily poor, and if fact most of them aren't. Also, while the percentage of students in private schools nationally has been declining, it's higher in at least some southern states, like Mississippi, where the white kids still go to the private academies set up in response to integration. You know, the ones that Ronald Reagan wanted to grant exemption from taxation. (I very much doubt if they ban black students today.)
Everybody who's getting worked up about lift and drag is off on the wrong track. treetop is right, the question is: if the force the plane engine exerts is vector x and the force the wind exerts is vector y, is the magnitude of x+y greater than the magnitude of x? I'm not going to work out the trig in detail, but I believe the answer is yes, so long as the direction of the wind is at 90 degrees, or a little bit behind the direction the plane is traveling. If the force of the wind is directed at all against the force of the engine (say, at 89 degrees), then the answer probably depends on the speed of the wind.
The river problem is the same idea: it doesn't matter which way you swim, the effort to reach either life preserver is the same because you and the life preservers are all moving at the same speed as the current.
Torture can bring a man to talk, but it can't force a man to tell the truth.
I added up the points for the Republicans in the story on health care plans, and McCain came in with 82, one point ahead of Obama! So Kevin, where did they go wrong, because as a good Democrat I know that can't be right.
so long as the direction of the wind is at 90 degrees, or a little bit behind the direction the plane is traveling.
I'll make this more precise: if 0 degrees is a perfect headwind, 180 degrees is a perfect tailwind, and 90/270 degrees are perfect cross winds, then the magnitude of x+y will be greater than x whenever the angle of the wind is between 90 and 270. If the angle of the wind is between 0 and 89 or 271 and 359, then it is possible for the magnitude of x+y to be greater than the magnitude of x, depending on the magnitude of y (i.e., the force of the wind). (Note here that the plane may be traveling backwards.)
I cannot believe that Alan thinks 'most' families are not poor getting assistance on the school lunch program. A single mother of one child would be hard pressed to provide housing, clothing, food, etc. on less than $2111.00 a month. That is the cut off point in TN.
National Journal Rating of the Health Plans:
IF you believe they have done a reasonable job in evaluating the various plans one very clear conclusion emerges.
Of the Republican plans McCain's is comes out by far the best. It scored as well as or better than the other two GOP plans on every selected measure except one (incentives for employers to continue coverage 5 vs. 6).
His plan was the only plan to receive no score below 5 on any of the criteria.
Of course, the Democratic plans score significantly higher on many important criteria, but also lower in areas of fiscal impact.
This report suggests a choice between Clinton/Edwards and Obama vs. McCain. Of course, there is a strong argument to be made that to cross the "Chasm" facing healthcare today that none of the approaches of the front runners go far enough.
Great link to physics problems in NY Times! I love the crosswind problem - I am pretty sure I am going to steal it for my Physics I class next semester. I always need new "simple" physics problems like these for class. As someone who teaches physics I find this a great question since if you understand the principles of adding vectors and relative velocity you will be able to answer it correctly without doing anything on a calculator but by application of the principles only.
As some comments have noted this is not a realistic problem (as in real world). A more realistic problem involves adding the vectors but once you understand how to answer the simpler question it is a pretty straightforward step to solving the more complicated (in terms of the math not conceptually) realistic problem.
The answer to the crosswind problem is correct even with additional assumptions. The problem says the wind is at 90 degrees to the airplane, not 90 degrees from the destination. Regardless of why you are flying that way, your ground speed will be faster compared to flying with no wind.
The life preserver problem is solved incorrectly, though, for two reasons. One, it says you just fell in the river, so you still have inertia and it will take some time to accelerate. (Someone said that above.) Two, fluid dynamics tells you the water at the top of the river will flow faster than the water towards the bottom, thus the flotation device at the very top will be moving faster than something that is pushed by an average deeper level.
As long as the plane is traveling the direction it wants to go with the side push from the wind, then its ground speed will be higher. But if it actually wants to go the direction it is heading, it will need to adjust course to head slightly into the wind reducing is forward vector...
I have a PhD. in Physics from UCLA and have taught freshman physics.
Like most over-simplified physics problems which result in lots of discussion, the conundrum is caused by a poorly worded question, not the actual physics of the problem. In a simplified approach all factors like wing shape, drag, lift... are neglected. The problem is supposed to be a simple exercise in velocity frames using Gallilean transformations ( i.e. effects of special relativaty neglected. ) As others have stated before the question should have been stated in terms of a destination (B) that was directly north of the starting point (A) and two separate flights with the absence or presence of a crosswind blowing from directly west.
If two flights are made from A to B with the same air speed, the one with the crosswind present will take longer because the pilot will actually have to fly west at the same speed as the wind to maintain a straight north trajectory with respect to the land.
Just remember, if what is a simple question creates lots of discussion, the problem is with the statement of the problem, not the difficulty level.
However, I do not know whether in this case the teacher screwed up or not. After all this is the NYT reporting, and its probably the fact that the NYT reporter got the story wrong rather than a physics teacher asked a poorly worded problem. But that is just a guess based on how well reporters do at science reporting.
Wow, this thread is a Rohrschach test! So much misinformation and so many explanations that are almost correct until the last minute.
Lift is not obtained via drag. Swept wings have nothing to do with this problem. This problem is not analogous to a sailboat heading into the wind. Flight can be explained in purely Newtonian terms. Bernoulli's principle works quite well in explaining why wings fly, and is part of the explanation of why a plane can fly upside down (so is angle of attack, and so is Newton, and so is engine thrust.) The plane travels faster for the reason that bob the pilot up above explained.
However, consider this, given all the wrong answers prevalent here that few people realize are wrong, how many wrong things do we incorrectly assume are correct EVERYDAY? And frankly, what does that say about what we think is going on with the dems, republicans, iraq, the media, or even our favorite bloggers?
Remember Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. Adjust your filters accordingly.
As others have said, the exact wording of the plane problem would be useful. I doubt that the students were expected to take into account such things as lift and the density of moving air, or did so. I would conjecture that the problem artificially assumes that the wind always stays 90 degrees to the plane's direction, even as the plan turns. If so, I believe that with wind directly from the right, an arc to the right and then back to the left would indeed get the plane there faster than a straight line in calm air.
Any student of quantum physics would immediately spot the error. The plane travels both faster and slower than it travels.
Planes have to crab into the wind when the wind is anything other than 0 or 180 degrees from the direction of intended travel.
You have an east-west lake, 141 mile wide.
You have an aircraft flying 100 MPH. You have a wind blowing at 100 MPH from the SW to the NE.
Your plane starts 141 miles due south of your destination.
With no wind at all, the plane takes 1.4 hours to cross the lake.
With the wind as described, the plane takes 1 hour to cross the lake, the wind blows 90 degrees to the fuselage, and as bob noted above, the wind actually has a very sizeable tailwind component to the direction of flight.
Now, if I have a 100 mile wide lake, and a plane flying 100 mph, then I cross the lake in one week and ten minutes. I do this by selling enough of my lake and the slow airplane to buy a jet. That takes a week. I hop in the jet and cross the lake in ten minutes.
Imagine the air is still and the ground is moving. Then it is clear you will have to fly farther (since the hypoteneous of a right triangle is longer than the side) to get to your destination so your ground speed is slower.
I am a physicist and a pilot.
There are too many misconceptions out there (and in the comments above) about both physics and flying, but let me address what seems to be the biggest one.
The "relative wind" on an airplane (i.e. the direction the air is hitting the fuselage) is always forward if the plane is flying correctly, even in a turn. If there's really wind hitting the side of the fuselage, the plane is "slipping," and there's an enormous amount of drag created by that. (Many small planes and gliders slip deliberately to lose altitude quickly, in fact.) If you are slipping constantly, you are not going to be in the air for long.
When there's a 90-degree crosswind to your course, your nose is pointed into the wind just enough to where the plane is meeting the air head-on. With a slower airspeed, it requires a larger angle to account for a given crosswind speed, of course. You may not even notice this "crab angle" on a fast jetliner, but a Piper Cub flying the same course in the same crosswind could be pointed 30 degrees off course.
Also, someone up there said a glider can't change its speed: actually, gliders have very precise control of airspeed.
Dear Jerry,
90% of your posts are crap. Hope that helps!!!!!!
Ah! But 10% of my posts are cream!
So, as the comments above show, the plane does fly faster. The additional speed is at right angles to the nominal direction of the plane, though.
Anonymous said something wrong above: "The equivalent of a boat keel is that big airplane tail." That's flat wrong. The keel keeps a sailboat from traveling perpendicular to it's nominal direction because the keel is in the water. (Actually, there's still some leeway, and the amount depends on the boat, the ocean conditions, the wind, ...)
The plane is in the air, so there's nothing else which can be used to compensate for the wind.
Looking back, the sex offender story deserves its own post. The prison lobby is one of California's largest and most powerful lobbies. I assume that's true all over and in Wisconsin.
We do many things that are expensive and have no benefit. Locking sex offenders down on Halloween is one of them. We do this and we build up expensive infrastructures that are hard to knock down. We do this and build up additional lobbying forces that are hard to knock down.
What percentage of sex offenders these days are for things like statuory, but consensual sex? Or for getting pics of your kids developed at the walmart, or sending pics of yourself or your boyfriend across the net?
It's a non-solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
I don't see the "punch line at the end" of the sex offender story. And as you have no children of your own, Kevin, you're going to view the issue differently than parents. I don't believe sex offenders should ever be paroled. It's a form of mental illness that has resisted therapy to date.
Health care scores: McCain 77 Guliani 60 Romney 59
So Guliani and Romney are pathetic, but McCain's did well enough that there might well be some ideas in it that are worth incorporating into the Clinton/Obama/Edwards plans.
As a Naval Architect and sailboat designer Amit Joshi is right that the tail is nothing like a keel, and the cross wind thing has little to do with a sailboat, unless you are talking about a sailboat in waters with current.
As far as the physics question goes, the question doesn't say the wind is 90 degrees from the destination, just that it is 90 degrees from the plane's direction, and therefore, the groundspeed is increased. I believe most pilots would consider this to be a slight tailwind as they would generally refer to the direction they needed to go, not the direction they point the plane.
In sailing, this is common, but in a slightly different manner. We almost always have a leeway angle when sailing upwind. Unless you have asymetric daggerboards, or a trim tab to make your keel asymetric you need leeway for the keel to make lift. Your compass will always read slightly different than your course over ground even if perfectly calibrated because the boat is not pointed in the direction of travel.
An African swallow or a European swallow?
But, your comments on the sex offender post don't address the "family abuser" issue. Families fight prosecution on issues like this, the more so the stiffer the penalty.
In the river, assuming there is no wind (or not knowing the speed and direction of the wind) you should swim toward the downstream object. It will be moving slightly slower than the flow due to aerodynamic drag from the part of it sticking up above the water. You are less buoyant than the preserver (hopefully) so less of you is sticking up into the air and so you will be less effected by the aerodynamic drag than it is.
You swim to the preserver behind you because it's easier to catch one coming towards you that you can trap with your body and arms than one traveling away from you that you have to reach for. You swim to the preserver behind you because the dam is in front of you.
I have a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics (really), but I am only pretty good with Rocket Science. Still, imagine a 300 mph plane in a 500 mph wind. If you fly with wind you will go really fast, but if your intended destination is anything but downwind, you will never get there.
"You swim to the preserver behind you because it's easier to catch one coming towards you that you can trap with your body and arms than one traveling away from you that you have to reach for. You swim to the preserver behind you because the dam is in front of you."
The preserver isn't coming toward you. Without swimming, and with no wind, it actually ought to be being slowly dragged away from you by air resistance.
If there is a dam, waterfall, etc depending on the time till you go over/through it you might swim forward or back. You might also just swim for shore if the life preserver isn't going to help.
The plane/crosswind problem is not bogus, but getting a practical answer depends on unstated coincidental conditions. If you start out flying directly toward your destination and the wind is perpendicular to the start-finish vector, your ground speed is higher than the air speed, but you don't arrive.
The answer would be practical if the wind were not exactly 90 degrees to the start-finish vector, but blows with somewhat of a tailwind component. Then you would head somewhat to the side of the destination, and the ground speed would be resultant of your airspeed and the sidewind speed (as it always is). This is a general solution to the problem of taking the optimum air heading. It would be essentially coincidental if the sidewind turns out to be exactly 90 degrees to your heading.
The "punch line at the end", jeffII, are these quotes.
"There has not been a single case of any child being molested by a convicted sex offender while trick-or-treating," writes columnist Benjamin Radford on LiveScience.com.
"Here we're creating a new police action squad to go out and address a problem that has never manifested itself in the community," Gresback told the newspaper. He said in 20 years he'd never run across a case of a sex offender attacking a child on Halloween.
JeffII, Kevin might not have children, but I do. I want my children to be safe from child molesters. I also want my entire family to be safe from terrorists. For neither cause do I advocate panicked and unnecessary reactions, because (among other reasons) they just make the problem worse.
(One of my problems with treating all "registered sex offenders" as a single group are that in many states -- like mine -- many of these "registered offenders" are men who engaged in sodomy with other consenting men, back when it was a sex crime to do so.)
I think too many people here are over-analyzing the crosswind problem. The question clearly asks for the speed relative to the ground not the time to get to a destination.
[Attention physics nerds: the New York Times says a plane flying through a crosswind travels faster than it would in clear skies.]
Oh Good Grief.
You Humans failed your IQ test. It's a trick question, but funny as heck to read the posts.
Read the sentence...again:
"a plane flying through a CROSSWIND travels faster than it would in CLEAR skies."
Clear does not mean ZERO wind speed.
What the heck does a CROSSWIND got to do with CLEAR skies!!!
P.S. When does my starship come and pick me up?
P.S.S. The real question was:
A plane flying into a headwind will have a lower speed, relative to the ground, than it would if it were flying through still air, while a plane traveling with the benefit of a brisk tailwind will have a comparatively greater ground speed. But what about a plane flying through a 90-degree crosswind, a breeze that is buffeting its body side-on? Will its ground speed be higher, lower or no different than it would be in unruffled skies?
Kevin wrote a misleading question; either on purpose or unintentional.
Either way it was fun to watch the posts.
Correct question answer: (Assuming no other forces on the plane but the crosswind and the plane does not change it's flying direction): The plane's speed going forward will not change.
However, the plane will be blown off course as the forward speed couples with the crosswind to create a resultant speed at an angle to the planes forward motion.
Original Destintion ----->x X / arrive. / forward motion ^ * | / | / | / plane gets blown this way--> P L crosswind-----> A N E
Another interesting question is: How would a stiff, but directly from the side wind affect the top speed of an automobile (and why)?
Anyone else notice MISSING comments on this thread?
I posted links to TWO articles last night, neither of which is here today.
VERY cryptic.I've never seen comments simply DISAPPEAR (without any trace) at WM/PA before.
Note: The above (deleted?) comments were posted November 1 roughly between 4:00 and 6:00 AM.
I DO notice a gap for that interval above. Gremlins??
[When posts containing links disappear that usually means they have been snagged by Moveable Type's anti-spam engine by mistake. Given the time you posted them there were no moderators around to publish them. Apologies for the inconvenience -- mod.]
Poilu, for whatever reason, they've been moderating comments here for sometime, and yes, that means that comments can be silently tossed down the memory hole.
Apart from the Chinese Spam that would show up from time to time, I do not think that moderating comments adds any real value. I don't know what caused yours to hit some moderators trigger, and they rarely tell us.
Somewhere here is an email address that you can use to discuss it.
Thanks for the feedback, Mod and Jerry.
Being as I had verified the two postings after the fact (i.e., before they vanished), I initially assumed spam filters were not the cause, since they usually prevent a comment from actually posting without subsequent approval.
But, whatever. Much obliged.
