the little thingamewatsit sticky outy bits on the front of plane wings are: Vortex Generators. The idea behind these is to create a small, but powerful vortex which guides the boundary layer onto the wing surface, which does two things. 1) it delays separation (stall) which is good for takeoff and low speed handling, and 2) it keeps the flow attached to the control surfaces (aelerons etc) keeping them effective.
The cost in terms of drag is minimal since they are so small compared to the rest of the wing, and only affect small parts of the span, effectively creating vortex fences. This also reduces crossflow effects where say separation on one part of the wing would normally spread to the adjacent parts. Its a little like trying to pull a sticker off something. The vortex generators create extra sticky points that keep the boundary layer attached, so the separation is less likely to spread to adjacent spanwise sections. Cool solution for a plane. Not so useful for a windsurfer. |

Good explanation - Thanks. This may explain why sanded fins have less spinout, with the rough surface generating mini vortexes allowing the water to stay attached to the fin surface. |
29th May 2009, 05:23 PM | #45 |
Polished surface faster??? I bet when you can control it a polished fin would have a tiny little bit less drag. I think you will barely notice this difference. My CA speed was polished, but a sanded a few spots now it is sanded and no difference.
A polished fin is easy to ventilate, this means the liftpotential of the fin suddenly decreasing by a huge factor. When going @ low speed 30-35kn, I feel only more drag, and most people will spinout before they notice. On cavitation speeds 45-50kn ventilation??? That is the rumor about hydroptere and they got up to 60kn, so far I understood they also had a lack of lift& less drag. On a windsurfer I don't think it is possible to do that all. You don't have a crew... You have trimsail/ keep course/ keep balance/ keep board steady/ keep finpressure all in one time. I use max 600 grid sandpaper. Cheers, Erik www.speedsurfingblog.com |

After checking a new Deboichet, it looks as though it may be sanded with 220 or 320 on the horizontal plane. Not even close to polished or 400 grit.
Since this is a major brand, there must have been some testing? Also why not vertical sanding? Anyone with knowledge? |

Some twenty years ago Olivier Aug�, one of the top speed French windsurfer at the time, advised about how fins should be sanded. He said to sand horizontally near the head and turn vertically near the tip. This was supposed to optimize water flow. Personally I don't think it makes any difference as long as the grit is fine enough.
Come on unregistered #46 (I guess it is a psuedo). You didn't even told us if you really polish your board, fins (and guitar). |

Why is our sport so full of BS and self qualified "experts" quoting stuff from years ago and failing to grasp salient points from studies done by "real" engineers ???
Nasa;air craft manufacturers etc etc (according to some) have got it all wrong !! Cut outs decreasing drag; micro grinding and loads of other BS is playing straight into manufacturers hands. Its unbelievable !! Novelty has replaced development in WS. We read it on here; or in some corrupt magazine so we believe it; buy into it and then promote it !!! Crazy. Every study (modern) says polished is better for foils/planing surfaces !! BTW what`s guitars got to do with it ??? |

Well I guess that if you polish your guitar you will play faster. Exemples and studies you have found are not relevant for windsurf. Also if you look around you will find that much more boards/fins have matte finish than polished. So you may think that most windsurfers and boards manufacturers are idiots, but as you never told us if you really polish your board and fins (and guitar) nobody knows on which side you are. BTW I'm an engineer too but I tend to forget it when windsurfing.

VISAKHAPATNAM: The CPI (M), which is opposing bauxite mining in the agency area and setting up of alumina refineries and cogeneration plants in Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts, asked the Congress Government to issue a notification investing riparian rights to the 6,000 acres of additional ayacut of Raiwada reservoir.
CPI (M) district secretary Ch. Narasinga Rao made this demand at a press conference here on Saturday in the wake of Housing Minister Botsa Satyanarayana's remarks that water supply to Jindal South West's refinery in S. Kota mandal would be ensured and bauxite mining would be taken up despite opposition by a majority participants in the public hearing on Jindal plant as well as mining.

Report says governments, pressure groups and private sector all share credit for protecting extra 17 million hectares of tropical rainforest.
Efforts to tackle illegal destruction of the world's rainforests have been a success, according to a new report that details a significant fall in unauthorised logging.
The study, by the U.K.-based international affairs think tank Chatham House and released on Thursday, says illegal logging has dropped by between 50 and 75 per cent across Cameroon, Indonesia and the Brazilian Amazon over the last decade; globally it has dropped by one-fifth since 2002.
The study credits actions taken by governments and pressure groups for the improvement, as well as greater responsibility across the private sector.
Sam Lawson, associate fellow at Chatham House and lead author of the report, said: "Up to a billion of the world's poorest people are dependent on forests, and reductions in illegal logging are helping to protect their livelihoods." The fall in illegal logging, if continued, could save billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and help the fight against global warming, the report says.
The change over the last decade has seen 17m hectares of forest saved from degradation, preventing the release of 1.2 bn tonnes of CO2 emissions. Viewed another way, if the trees saved were legally logged and sold, this could bring an extra $6.5bn in additional income to the forest nations.
Stephen O'Brien, the U.K.'s international development minister, said: "In the world's poorest countries, illegal logging fuels corruption and results in billions of pounds in lost revenue every year. For the hundreds of millions of people across the globe who depend on forests for their livelihood, curbing illegal logging means vital sources of income remain protected. This groundbreaking report sets out the success stories brought about through international efforts in reducing illegal logging, which encourages us all to pursue these efforts further." In 2000, the U.K., U.S., Japan, France and Netherlands imported more than 20 million cubic metres of illegally logged timber. By 2008, that dropped to 17 million cubic metres.
Although illegal logging has declined, it remains a major problem, the report says. Where progress has already been made, additional gains are likely to be increasingly hard to achieve. A new approach will be needed to halt completely the illegal timber trade, it adds.
Serves to reinforce
The report, which compared records of wood imports to legal exports, says: "If they are to be effective, mechanisms to encourage developing countries to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation will require secure control and sound governance of forest resources. Efforts to tackle illegal logging and improve forest governance have already proved to be successful and cost-effective, and it is essential that the climate change agenda for forests serves to reinforce this response, rather than distract from it." — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2010

Members of an elite Australian college linked to Sydney University provoked outrage Tuesday after it was revealed they had set up a "pro-rape" group on social networking site Facebook.
The page, set up by mostly past and present students at the all-male residential college St Paul's, called itself "Define Statutory" and described itself as "pro-rape, anti-consent", local media reports said.
It has since been taken down.
Former sex discrimination commissioner, now New South Wales state parliamentarian, Pru Goward said she understood the site was designed to "draw an analogy between rape and competing with another football team".
"If that is a case, that they have very foolishly used the metaphor of rape to encourage people to be aggressive and competitive on the sporting field, then it shows an extreme insensitivity," she told The Sydney Morning Herald.
"(The) college has got to take extremely strong action. It is a shocking reflection on the culture."
Sydney University vice-chancellor Michael Spence said he was "appalled by the reported behaviour and apparent attitudes of some students".
"There can be no excuses for sexual assault," he said in a statement.
"The university and the residential colleges have been working hard to bring about a change in attitudes and behaviour. Obviously we still have much to do."
St Paul's, founded in 1956 as an Anglican college, said it condemned all forms of sexual assault and that disciplinary action could be taken against those students involved in the Facebook page.
The university's student body has urged a review of residential colleges.
"It is widely recognised that there is a real problem with sexism and sexual harassment within the University of Sydney college system," Student Council president Noah White said.
"While this behaviour is not representative of college students as a whole, it is certainly representative of a subculture that is alive and well at these institutions," he told The Sydney Morning Herald.

Atlanta pastor and four others convicted of abuse for whipping two boys in church ATLANTA (AP) A pastor and four members of his church were found guilty Thursday of aggravated assault and cruelty to children for whipping two boys in front of the congregation. The defendants were handed prison sentences ranging from 20 to 90 days. They were also fined amounts ranging from $250 to $8,000, placed on probation and ordered to attend parenting classes. Judge T. Jackson Bedford Jr. also told the pastor, the Rev. Arthur Allen Jr., that he cannot ''advise or participate in any way in the discipline'' of anyone else's children. The 150 members of the House of Prayer, an independent Atlanta church, have repeatedly said they have the right to beat their children and that the church was being persecuted for its beliefs. The state took 49 children of House of Prayer members last year; all but six have been returned. The jury deliberated for more than two days. The other church members convicted were Emanuel Hardeman, Charles Ogletree, David Duncan Sr. and Sharon Duncan. The Duncans' two boys, ages 7 and 10, were removed from their home after one of them reported the whippings to a teacher. The boys, who were badly bruised on their backs and torsos, told authorities they were restrained by church members and beaten during services. Prosecutors said Ogletree beat the children, Hardeman held them, and Allen and the parents looked on. Allen, serving as his own lawyer, told the jury that the injuries were not as severe as prosecutors portrayed. He said corporal punishment is sometimes necessary and can prevent violent behavior later in life. Allen was sentenced to 90 days in prison, 10 years of probation and an $8,000 fine. It was unclear if he would agree to stop organizing beatings at the church. ''I don't have any plans as far as the church,'' he said after the verdict. David Duncan was sentenced to 40 days in prison, eight years of probation and a $500 fine. His wife got 20 days in prison, five years' probation and a $250 fine. They can keep their children if they complete the parenting class. Related Sections | House of Prayer |

The Nampula Block is the largest Mesoproterozoic crustal domain in northern Mozambique, covering >100,000 km2 and constituting one of the most important components of the southern part of the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian ("Pan-African") East African Orogen. The Nampula Block is bounded in the north by the WSW–ENE-trending Lúrio Belt and by younger rocks to the south and east. The oldest rocks of the Nampula Block, the Mocuba Suite, are a polydeformed sequence of upper amphibolite-grade layered grey gneisses and migmatites associated with intrusive trondhjemite-tonalite-granodiorite and granitic orthogneisses.

Developer Notes
Chicago Parking is the only parking garage application designed for Chicago. With this application you can find the cheapest parking rates anywhere in Chicago. Save yourself a parking ticket with the built in parking timer.
Good Resource — It's nice to have an app that sorts out the cheaper parking garages/lots. Some of them really overcharge, and this $2 should help find better rates. Although, it's ridiculous to charge money for this app in my opinion.

FURLAN, Reinaldo. The notion of consciousness in the Structure of Behavior (Merleau-Ponty). Psicol. USP [online]. 2001, vol.12, n.1, pp. 11-31. ISSN 0103-6564. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-65642001000100002.
The goal of the present paper is to introduce the concept of consciousness in the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, based on his "The Structure of Behavior," in wich he offers an analysis of Biology stressing the passage from the biological order to the symbolic or human order. In that work, Merleau-Ponty strengthens the concept of "structure" as an alternative to the classical metaphysical dichotomy between subject and object (res cogitans e res extensa), trying to understand both the integration and the ruptures between the different orders of phenomena (physical, vital and human). The advantage of the notion of structure would also be the possibility of apprehending consciousness in situation and the emergence of sense anterior to the conscience of self and of the world.
Keywords : Merleau-Ponty, Maurice; Fenomenology; Behavior; Structure.

About MIT Press Ebooks
Drop something in front of a two-year-old, and she's likely to pick it up for you. This is not a learned behavior, psychologist Michael Tomasello argues. Through observations of young children in experiments he himself has designed, Tomasello shows that children are naturally--and uniquely--cooperative. Put through similar experiments, for example, apes demonstrate the ability to work together and share, but choose not to. As children grow, their almost reflexive desire to help--without expectation of reward--becomes shaped by culture. They become more aware of being a member of a group. Groups convey mutual expectations, and thus may either encourage or discourage altruism and collaboration. Either way, cooperation emerges as a distinctly human combination of innate and learned behavior.In Why We Cooperate, Tomasello's studies of young children and great apes help identify the underlying psychological processes that very likely supported humans' earliest forms of complex collaboration and, ultimately, our unique forms of cultural organization, from the evolution of tolerance and trust to the creation of such group-level structures as cultural norms and institutions.Scholars Carol Dweck, Joan Silk, Brian Skyrms, and Elizabeth Spelke respond to Tomasello's findings and explore the implications.
About the Author
Michael Tomasello is Codirector of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig. He is the author of The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition and Constructing a Language: A Usage-Based Theory of Language Acquisition.
"The work of Tomasello and his colleagues provides the best and most exciting point of entry into a literature that will certainly shape philosophical debates for the years to come." —Mattia Gallotti, Cambridge University Press"—
"... the fascinating approach to the question of what makes us human renders this a singularly worthwhile read." —Publishers Weekly"—

Due to Winter Storm Conditions some order fulfillment may be delayed
We will continue to monitor and fulfill orders to the best of our ability. Any delayed shipments will be attempted when it is safe to do so. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Visit the local weather service for additional info
Ski and Snowboarding pants often will take care of the laying issue, all with one pair of pants. A good pair of snow pants will include an inner layer that wicks away moisture, a mid-layer that moves it towards the surface, and a breathable outer layer that lets moisture out but keeps heat in.
When it is extremely cold, most skiers will add their own, additional base layer to provide more warmth. Likewise, spring skiing often only requires a thin outer shell over a base layer to keep you dry and plenty warm.
For more information on layering, follow this helpful guide on effectively using base and middle layers.
Keep in mind that extra padding and extra-tough stitching on your snow pants and ski pants is well worth the additional cost. Cold weather gear takes a beating, and cheap brands are unlikely to make it through a hard season without tearing apart.

10 Best Christmas Duets
While artists are often handcuffed to those they can or can't record a duet with on a studio album, Christmas duets present an opportunity to involve musicians not traditionally involved with country music, or artists who have been forgotten. Kenny Rogers might be the king of country music duets. It's a difficult chore to choose between his works with Dolly Parton and Wynonna Judd, so we chose one of each for this list of Christmas duets. Martina McBride, Elvis Presley and Kenny Chesney also make our 10 Best Christmas Duets list more than once.
'Baby, It's Cold Outside'
This Christmas song is a popular remake for country stars over the last 10 years. McBride's version features Dean Martin overdubs, and it shows. There isn't the same 'in the room' chemistry, but the vocal performances are still warm enough to merit inclusion on our list of 10 Best Christmas Duets. In 2006, this version reached No. 35 on the country charts. Other versions from Dolly Parton with Rod Stewart, and Norah Jones with Willie Nelson also charted. Find this one on the 2007 reissue of McBride's 'White Christmas' album.
'The Angels Cried'
Two of the most dependable voices in country music teamed up for this Christmas duet from Alan Jackson's 1993 Christmas album, 'Honky Tonk Christmas.' Jackson has proven himself to be a modern day Bing Crosby when it comes to Christmas, and Alison Krauss -- who was just 22-years-old at the time -- can lend her voice to just about anything and leave it feeling like a warm Christmas memory.
'Pretty Paper'
Willie Nelson also made our list of top traditional Christmas songs in country music with this song from 1979. He'd written it 16 years earlier for the late Roy Orbison, and Chesney brought it to a new audience on his 2003 album. The younger singer's heavy timber is a surprisingly pleasant compliment to Nelson's emotional quiver. Both men seem to feel every word of this song, making it an easy choice for our list of the 10 Best Christmas Duets.
'Winter Wonderland'
The legendary duo's versatile Christmas hit can also be found on our Top 10 Christmas Party Songs list and on their 2002 album 'It Won't Be Christmas Without You.' Certainly it's no surprise that the greatest country duo of all time lands a song on our list of the best Christmas duets. There's really no good reason to dislike this holiday song.
'White Christmas'
This song is found on Buble's 'Christmas' album, released in 2011. Shania Twain's baby doll interpretation of her part in the duet will have her longtime fans wondering if that's really her singing with Buble, but she shows that there is still plenty of life left in those famous pipes -- as if one ever doubted -- as she frolics around on the high notes like a little kid swinging from the monkey bars. It's doubtful country radio will give this Christmas song much attention, but it's one every Shania Twain fan will love.
'I'll Be Home for Christmas'
Carrie Underwood's duet with Elvis Presley is the first of two from the King's 'Christmas Duets' album to make our list of the 10 Best Christmas Duets. Despite dying six years prior to her birth, Presley seems to have his hand wrapped around Underwood's waist in this caring duet. Their voices mix like pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
'The Greatest Gift of All'
Any of the 10 songs from the superstar's album of holiday duets could have made our list of the top Christmas duets, but we chose this one because it was the highest charting song from an iconic Christmas album. 'Once Upon a Christmas' has sold over two million copies in the U.S., and another five million in Canada, making it amongst the most popular Christmas albums of all time.
'Christmas in Dixie'
The original version of this song made our Top 10 Original Christmas Songs list, and it's hard to argue that any version could top Alabama's original. After the band retired a few years prior to Chesney's 'All I Want For Christmas is a Real Good Tan' album, Randy Owen's voice on this Christmas duet was a more than welcome surprise.
'Blue Christmas'
The music video for this song makes it worthy of inclusion on our list of the 10 Best Christmas Duets. It's a clever pairing of one of the all-time greats with perhaps country music's most talented Christmas songstress. Few fans of 'Blue Christmas' thought it could get any better than the King's original, but McBride certainly adds a new dimension.
'Mary, Did You Know?'
When two all-time greats team up, it's hard for things to go wrong. This version of 'Mary, Did You Know?' from Rogers' 1997 album 'The Gift' is still amongst the most played Christmas songs on country radio, especially as the actual day draws near. Michael English first recorded this song in 1993, and Kathy Mattea did a version the following year. But Rogers' and Judds' take on it -- adding a second voice to make it a Christmas duet -- seems to bring this song to a higher level.

It has helped to sponsor popular traveling exhibits, such as an early 2010s "King Tut" exhibit featuring magnificent artifacts from the tomb of the young Egyptian Pharaoh; "The Cultural Treasures of Afghanistan" which opened in May 2008 and traveled to other cities for 18 months; and an exhibition of China's Terracotta Warriors in its Washington headquarters in 2009–10.
National Geographic has retail stores in Washington, D.C, London, Madrid, and Sydney.
The National Geographic Society began as a club for an elite group of academics and wealthy patrons interested in travel.[4] On January 13, 1888, 33 explorers and scientists gathered at the Cosmos Club, a private club then located on Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., to organize "a society for the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge." After preparing a constitution and a plan of organization, the National Geographic Society was incorporated two weeks later on January 27. Gardiner Greene Hubbard became its first president and his son-in-law, Alexander Graham Bell, succeeded him in 1897. In 1899, Bell's son-in-law Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor was named the first full-time editor of National Geographic magazine and served the organization for fifty-five years (until 1954), and members of the Grosvenor family have played important roles in the organization since.
Bell and Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor devised the successful marketing notion of Society membership and the first major use of photographs to tell stories in magazines. The current National Geographic Society president and CEO is Gary E. Knell. The chairman of the board of trustees is John Fahey. The editor in chief of National Geographic magazine is Susan Goldberg. Gilbert Melville Grosvenor, a former chairman of the Society board of trustees received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 for his leadership in geography education. In 2004, the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C., was one of the first buildings to receive a "Green" certification[5] from Global Green USA.[6] The National Geographic received the prestigious Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in October 2006 in Oviedo, Spain.

National Geographic[edit]
National Geographic Magazine, later shortened to National Geographic, published its first issue in October 1888, nine months after the Society was founded, as the Society's official journal, a benefit for joining the tax-exempt National Geographic Society. The magazine has a trademarked yellow border around the edge of its cover.
There are 12 monthly issues of National Geographic per year. The magazine contains articles about geography, popular science, world history, culture, current events and photography of places and things all over the world and universe. National Geographic magazine is currently published in 40 local-language editions in many countries around the world. Combined English and other language circulation is around 6.8 million monthly, with some 60 million readers.
Other publications[edit]
In addition to its flagship magazine, the Society publishes several other periodicals:
- National Geographic Kids: launched in 1975 as National Geographic World, it adopted its current name in 2001. (National Geographic World itself replaced the National Geographic School Bulletin, launched in 1919.) It has a U.S. circulation of over 1.5 million. There are also currently 18 local-language editions of NG Kids, with another half million in circulation. An Arabic edition of the children's magazine was launched in Egypt in early 2007, and more than 42,000 copies are distributed to all the public schools in Egypt, in addition to another 15,000 single copy sales. More recently, an Albanian and Polish edition were launched.
- National Geographic Little Kids: for younger children aged 3–6
- National Geographic Traveler: launched in 1984. There are 18 local-language editions of NG Traveler.
- National Geographic Explorer: classroom magazine launched in 2001. It has four separate editions for different grades and has grown to about 2½ million circulation.
The Society also runs an online news outlet called National Geographic Daily News.[8]
The Society also publishes maps, atlases and books. It previously published other magazines, including National Geographic Adventure, a research journal, and others, and continues to publish special issues of various magazines.
Programs by the National Geographic Society are also broadcast on television. National Geographic television specials as well as television series have been aired on PBS and other networks in the United States and globally for many years. The Geographic series in the U.S. started on CBS in 1964, moved to ABC in 1973, shifted to PBS (produced by WQED, Pittsburgh) in 1975, shifted to TBS in 1995, and returned to PBS in 2000. National Geographic Channel, launched in January 2001, is a joint venture of National Geographic and Fox Cable Networks. It has featured stories on numerous scientific figures such as Louis Leakey, Jacques Cousteau, or Jane Goodall that not only featured their work but helped make them world-famous and accessible to millions. A majority of the specials were narrated by various actors, including Glenn Close, Linda Hunt, Stacy Keach, Richard Kiley, Burgess Meredith, Susan Sarandon, Alexander Scourby, Martin Sheen and Peter Strauss. The specials' theme music, by Elmer Bernstein, was also adopted by the National Geographic Channel. The National Geographic Channel has begun to launch a number of subbranded channels in international markets, such as Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo Adventure, and Nat Geo Music.
National Geographic Films, a wholly owned taxable subsidiary of the National Geographic Society, has also produced a feature film based on the diary of a Russian submarine commander starring Harrison Ford in K-19: The Widowmaker, and most recently retooling a French-made documentary for U.S. distribution with a new score and script narrated by Morgan Freeman called March of the Penguins, which received an Academy Award for the Best Documentary in 2006. After a record $77 million theatrical gross in the United States, over four million DVD copies of March of the Penguins have been sold. National Geographic Films launched a new feature film in July 2007 called Arctic Tale, featuring the story of two families of walrus and polar bears. Queen Latifah is the narrator of this film. Inspired by a National Geographic Magazine article, National Geographic opened a 3-D large format and Reality 3-D film called Sea Monsters, with a musical score by Peter Gabriel, in October of that year. National Geographic Films is co-producing with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt the 10-hour mini series of Steven Ambrose's award-winning Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the American West for HBO. In 2013, the network began airing the reality show Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?.
National Geographic Museum[edit]
The Society operates the National Geographic Museum, located at 1145 17th Street, NW (17th and M), in Washington, D.C. The museum features changing photography exhibitions featuring the work of National Geographic explorers, photographers, and scientists. There are also changing exhibits related to natural history, culture, history or society.

The Society supports many socially based projects including AINA, a Kabul-based organization dedicated to developing an independent Afghan media, which was founded by one of the Society's most famous photographers, Reza.
The Society also organizes the National Geographic Bee, an annual geographic contest for U.S. fourth- through eighth-graders. About 4 million students a year begin the geography competition locally, which culminates in a national competition of the winners of each state each May in Washington, D.C. Journalist Soledad O'Brien is the moderator of the Bee. She succeeded Alex Trebek, host of Jeopardy!, who moderated the final round of the competition for 25 years, from its inception in 1989 to 2013. Every two years, the Society conducts an international geography competition of competing teams from all over the world. The most recent was held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in July 2013, and had representatives from 19 national teams. The team from the United States emerged as the winner, with teams from Canada and India in second and third place.
Hubbard Medal[edit]
The Hubbard Medal is awarded by the National Geographic Society for distinction in exploration, discovery, and research. The medal is named for Gardiner Greene Hubbard, the first National Geographic Society president. The Hubbard Medal has been presented 35 times as of 2010, the most recent award going to Don Walsh.
Alexander Graham Bell Medal[edit]
The National Geographic Society also awards, rarely, the Alexander Graham Bell Medal, for exceptional contributions to geographic research. The award is named after Alexander Graham Bell, scientist, inventor and the second president of the NGS. Up to mid-2011, the medal has been twice presented:[10][11]
- 1980: Bradford Washburn and wife Barbara Washburn
- 2010: Roger Tomlinson and Jack Dangermond

text: IMO, Alonso and Frazier are both ready for the big leagues. Between 3B and LF, it seems we could give them both an extended audition. In the next few months, they need to make a decision to either trade them or give them a shot at the big league level (although I see Frazier's MLB career landing somewhere between Miguel Cairo and Mark DeRosa.) They are 24 and 25 years old respectively and need to start producing value for the big league club, either as a player or as a trade chip.

Nuncio urges US bishops to evangelize
Catholic World News - November 16, 2010
Archbishop Pietro Sambi, apostolic nuncio to the United States, urged the bishops assembled at the fall meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to evangelize.
"Evangelization is the deepest identity of the Church, and the urgency of the present time," he said, recalling statements on evangelization by Pope Paul VI, Venerable John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI.
"The pastoral ambition, the only ambition which is praiseworthy, is the following," Archbishop Sambi concluded: "for parents and teachers to transmit to the new generation, by word and example, the solid spiritual and human values which they received; and for bishops, parish priests, and religious superiors to leave their dioceses, parishes, and religious communities strong in faith, hope, and love then when they received it."

Comment: Re:WWJD? (Score 1) 1168
Obviously, the state not allowing itself to intervene is obviously not an exercise of the power of the state - it's an exercise in restraint of said power.
Obviously, that's just semantics - one could just as easily frame it as "the state is using it's power to make it more difficult for individuals to seek redress against corporations that discriminate against them." No matter how you look at it, the state is using its power to make discrimination easier.
The actual discriminatory power in this case comes from the individuals and corporations that discriminate - if there are none willing to do so, or if there are few enough and their scale is small, then it's all of no consequence. Even if said discrimination is pervasive, it is still limited to what private entities can legally do - so it's a very far cry from what government-powered discrimination can do (for example, it is not legal for corporations in the USA to summarily round up their customers and murder them in gas chambers; or to incarcerate them because they married a person of a different race).
So what? So because the corporations can't round up people and execute them, that makes this law okay? Your argument boils down to "well, at least Indiana isn't making it legal for corporations to start KILLING gay people, so we should be happy that they're only making it easier to discriminate against gay people."
