In Which I Grump About Our Summer Plague
Then came this summer and now I'm feeling very paranoid about this upcoming winter. Shortly after we finally got over that awful, awful Norwalk stomach bug in early July, we were hit with some sort of super bug that was a bad viral cold/pinkeye combo that has led to ear infections and sinus infections. And what's really REALLY maddening is that the viral pinkeye morphed into bacterial pink eye so it's been essentially back-to-back pink eye problems. The good news is that while you just have to wait out the viral pinkeye (which takes 7-10 days), bacterial pinkeye can be knocked out quickly with antibiotic eye drops. The bad news is that the kids and I staggered when we initially showed signs of the viral pinkeye so we have been essentially under quarantine for over two weeks now.
No babysitter. No gym daycare. No parks. No playdates. Just me and some really crabby kids.
And honestly we haven't really been up for much since we have had sore throats and ear pain and are congested and coughing and achy and feel lousy, but AAAAAAARGH.
Yesterday was our first day emerging back into the world.
And then in the night I developed bacterial pink eye.
It's my birthday today.
I can cry if I want to.
I know that this too shall pass - and hopefully quite quickly since I can medicate it with eye drops (we will be put the entire family on eye drops at this point but maybe just breastmilk-in-the-eye for Lily) - but I'm frustrated and so in need of a break from my grumpy, grumpy children and my non-sleeping baby (she can't breathe or eat very easily with her cold so that has meant more time awake together in the night). I need rest and sleep so I can get over this virus. But looks like that rest is still a few days away for me.
These problems I have are of a very good and privileged nature but they are still feeling really frustrating. Today was going to be the first babysitter day in so long and now that is replaced with me hauling 3 kids to the minute clinic on my own. Tomorrow's date night is off. And while I prefer a pinkeye birthday to last year's birthday spent on the floor of the bathroom with acute morning sickness (or the birthday three years ago where I had thrush flare up again and had to go to the midwife and pediatrician on the same day or the birthday 7 years ago that included my grandfather's funeral...I could go on but I will stop. I seem to have not-so-good birthday luck.) I was really hoping that today would be a day when I felt back to better health. My sore throat is finally improving after 6 days of pain and my sinus problems seem better (I don't do antibiotics because of thrush so I have been toughing it out) but MAN OH MAN.
Upsides: This plague is taking place now and not during the year when Bella would miss school. I am grateful I am not in the far more challenging position of trying to juggle time off work or daycare rules - sickness for stay-at-home parents is much simpler. And the big one - Oliver potty trained since we have been stuck at home! Yay, Bubby!
Okay, I'm done grumping and hopefully this is the last of the pinkeye talk around here. There are still three weeks left of the summer to enjoy. I can celebrate my birthday another day and maybe have two cakes since we never got around to a re-do of my 2013 birthday. :)
Anyone else deal with persistent pinkeye in their house? You eventually beat it, right? (The answer is yes.)

Um yes, major birthday re-do owed to you when you are healthy. Or like 4 birthday re-dos. Damn. Hope you're all on the mend very soon.ReplyDelete
Ick, that sounds awful! I hate when one person's sickness morphs into the whole family being sick - why can't just one person get the bug and that's it!! Oh, yes - because we are a family and share everything! Hope you do get a birthday re-do - I am a BIG birthday lover and you definitely need one!!!ReplyDelete
Use the breastmilk on everyone! So much better than the prescription. (Yes, I've put my own breastmilk in my eyes...)ReplyDelete
Erin & Jodi - Thanks for the commiseration. Grumpy Laura loves that :)ReplyDelete
Ariane - Oh yes, I'm a big fan of using breastmilk (I wrote BM intitially but then couldn't handle that so I typed it out- ha) for eyes and even ears (like for ear infections). We were all using my milk initially (Raj too!) but then it didn't seem to be quite enough and it was also making my blepharitis (additional chronic eye issue) worse so I figured I needed big guns here. In the meantime I'll do Lily's eyes 4 x/day with breastmilk. It has been enough in the past but this seemed like a particularly hearty strain of pinkeye.
Gaaaahhhhhhh. I feel your pain. We're on day 3 of a Mystery Baby Fever...no other symptoms besides crankiness and I have forgotten what to do with a cranky baby. Blech. I always find these last few weeks of summer vacation a bit hard too; while I am determined to make the most and enjoy it, half my brain is on fall and school and what comes next. I so hope you guys can kick this thing, I'd love to have a play date in the next couple of weeks. L has gotten so big since last time!!ReplyDelete
Ugh…I can't even wrap my head around 2 weeks of consecutive illness/quarantined life for the whole crew. I bow down to you for keeping your sanity. You deserve many, many, many cakes! Happy birthday :)ReplyDelete
Oh no! You totally deserve to grump about this, and I don't think you even need to qualify it by saying that your problems of a privileged nature. Sounds like a very rough stretch to be handling mostly alone. My birthday this year was at 8 days postpartum and I was grumpy to my husband about how it kind of sucked this year but in comparison to your entire household of sick I was basically just whining :)ReplyDelete
Seriously awful! And on your birthday, none the less? Re-do for sure. And feel better, guys!ReplyDelete
I think you need to start celebrating your half birthday instead or some just a random day of the year to be you day as it seems August is just not your time!ReplyDelete
Jaida - Poor fever baby! Hope it has passed for you. Kids are better over here, just me and a lingering cold which I'm hoping will improve considerably this week!ReplyDelete
Mama T - I have been thinking of you with your multiple bouts of strep this year while I battle whatever virus I have. Ah, glamorous mom life :)
Emily - Thank you for grumping permission. And a bday at 8 days PP is no bday!! Birthdays should not include enormous maxi pads, you know?? Ha.
Julia - Thanks lady!
Bailie - Maybe I will pick a random day since my half birthday is too cold here in MN (Feb 8). Good idea :)
Happy belated birthday! I hope that your pinkeye is gone by now- it certainly sounds like you deserve two cakes!!ReplyDelete

Why do onions need to be refrigerated after cutting? Wouldn't it be just as well to put the onion in a container or baggy and put it back in the pantry? And does an opened container of ketchup need to be refrigerated?
You refrigerate a cut onion for several reasons. One is that cutting into anything introduces bacteria, which will grow more quickly and cause spoilage faster at room temperature.

This intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis was performed to provide a realistic image of the efficacy that could be expected after 26 weeks treatment with a 120-mg dose (40 mg t.i.d.) of EGb 761® (EGb). The data were collected during a 52-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed dose, parallel-group, multicenter study. Patients were mildly to severely impaired and diagnosed with uncomplicated Alzheimer's disease or multi-infarct dementia according to ICD-10 and DSM-III-R criteria. The primary outcome measures included the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog), Geriatric Evaluation by Relative's Rating Instrument (GERRI) and Clinical Global Impression of Change. From 309 patients included in the ITT analysis, 244 patients (76% for placebo and 73% for EGb) actually reached the 26th week visit. In comparison to the baseline values, the placebo group showed a statistically significant worsening in all domains of assessment, while the group receiving EGb was considered slightly improved on the cognitive assessment and the daily living and social behavior. Mean treatment differences favored EGb with 1.3 and 0.12 points, respectively, on the ADAS-Cog (p = 0.04) and the GERRI (p = 0.007). In the group receiving EGb, 26% of the patients achieved at least a 4-point improvement on the ADAS-Cog, compared to 17% with placebo (p = 0.04). On the GERRI, 30% of the EGb group improved and 17% worsened, while the placebo group showed an opposite trend with 37% of patients worsening for 25% improved (p = 0.006). Regarding safety, no differences between EGb and placebo were observed.

Bird baths are a wonderful addition to any garden. Put out a bird bath and you can feel good about providing our feathered friends with a place to keep cool on hot summer days while also being entertained by their avian bathing antics. While traditional bird baths come in the form of stone or marble bowls that are sometimes part of another larger sculpture, there are also more natural looking bird basins that blend in with their surroundings.
One such item is the bronze Ducklings with Basin Sculpture. The cast stone basin looks like a large, water-filled rock that happens to be part of the natural landscape in your garden. Little bronze ducks add to its quaint beauty. Maybe they will help attract some real birds?
Another Basin Bronze Sculpture that blends in with natural surroundings is the Basin Bronze Garden Sculpture with Frogs and Dragonfly. Painted in natural, earthy tones, the cast stone basin will look right at home in any backyard. The birds that visit will be accompanied by two bronze frogs, one of which is testing the waters with its webbed toes. They share the basin with an equally cute bronze dragonfly.
Add these natural bird baths to your garden to heighten the beauty of natural decor while providing a place for birds to cool off. Find these items, the best in animal garden statues, and beautiful garden fairies at Design Toscano today.

Pikmin 3 has been delayed. During a Nintendo Direct briefing today, a company representative revealed that the Wii U real-time strategy game will launch during the second quarter of 2013. This means it is now expected sometime between April and June of next year.
Previously, Pikmin 3 was scheduled to release during Nintendo's Wii U "launch window" period, which spans November 18, 2012-March 31, 2013. No rationale for the delay was provided, and a company representative was not immediately available to comment.
Pikmin 3 for the Wii U was announced during Nintendo's 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo briefing in June. It is a direct sequel to 2004's GameCube title Pikmin 2 and introduces new features like a Rock Pikmin, which can be used to destroy hard objects.
The game is fully playable with just the Wii U GamePad, but can also be directed with a Wii MotionPlus controller. Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto said the game skipped online multiplayer because having numerous small creatures onscreen at once would present problems when syncing up over an Internet connection.
For more on Pikmin 3, check out GameSpot's preview from E3 2012.

The most idiomatic construction in C for writing an iterator is to use
pointer arithmetic. i.e.
int* thearray;
size_t itssize;
for(int* iterator=thearray; iterator<thearray+itssize;++iterator){
/* do something with the iterator */
The loop terminates when the address of iterator is one past the end of
the array. The C standard guarantees that you can *form* the address one
past the end of the array (i.e. on a 32-bit machine with 4GB of address
space, the last element of the array can't abut the end of RAM, or some
compiler-level hack is required to guarantee that you can form the
address). However, the C standard makes no guarantees about being able
to form the address *before* the array, so the following is not
guaranteed to work:
for(int* iterator=thearray+itssize-1; iterator>=thearray;--iterator){
/* do something with the iterator */
The following idiom must be used instead:
int* iterator=thearray+itssize;
while( iterator-- > thearray){
/* do something with the iterator. */
The asymmetry you're noticing with unsigned int indices is a similar

That is remarkable! Little bit a pun there. It is amazing what people are capable of doing with technology. Granted …
"Enjoy it, but keep it in perspective." Great statement!
Mack, what makes you think these investors didn't know what was going to happen? What if they planned for it …

Following a two-day inquest Berkshire coroner Peter Bedford said he was not certain what caused Mr Berezovsky, 67, to die at his home in Mill Lane, Ascot, last year.
Detective Inspector Mark Bissell said tests confirmed Berezovsky had been hanged from a shower rail, and concluded he hanged himself with no third party involvement.
However Professor Bernd Brinkmann - a friend of the family who specialises in hanging and asphyxiation cases - told the inquest today that the marks on Mr Berezovsky's neck could not have come from hanging.
He argued an unknown assailant strangled Mr Berezovsky with his scarf before hanging him from a shower rail.
Pathologist Simon Poole said he believed there was no third party involvement, and toxicology reports showed no poisons were involved in Mr Berezovsky's death.
Mr Berezovsky's bodyguard Avi Navama told the inquest Mr Berezovsky was "very depressed" in the months leading up to his death.
He had previously lost a £3 billion claim against Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich, and Mr Navama said Berezovsky - born Elenin Platon - told him he was £200m in debt.
Berezovky's personal assistant, Michael Cotlick, said he had seen a change in Berezovsky's personality following the trial.
Earlier Mr Berezovsky's daughter, Elizaveta, said her father believed he had been poisoned.
In a statement, Berezovsky's former wife Galina Besharova said her ex-husband did not plan to kill himself, adding she could not believe he would have committed suicide.
Recording an open verdict at Windsor Guildhall, Mr Bedford said he could not be sure whether Mr Berezovsky had committed suicide or had been killed in another way.

Natural Gas, Suddenly Abundant, Is Cheaper
- Details
- Published on Monday, 23 March 2009 11:59
The decline in crude oil prices gets all the headlines, but the first globalized natural gas glut in history is driving an even more drastic collapse in the cost of gas that cooks food, heats homes and runs factories in the United States and many other countries.
Six giant plants capable of cooling and liquefying gas for export are due to come on line this year just as the economies of the Asian and European countries that import the most gas to run their industries are slowing.

Indians down Lions to remain unbeaten in division playJanuary 22, 2014
Up 93-92, the Indians (10-5, 5-0 MACJC North) inbound the ball to midcourt and a foul was whistled on ICC when Johnthan McGee and an East Mississippi defender collided into each other going for the ball.
East Mississippi knocked down the first of two free throws with less than a second left in the game, but missed the second attempt to send the game into a second overtime tied 93-93.
Lakee Westbrook (Shannon) was fouled on a three-point attempt and knocked all three attempts to put the Indians (10-5, 5-0 MACJC North) up 105-103. East Mississippi (9-4, 1-2 MACJC North) threw the ball the length of the floor, but the ball went out of bounds giving the Indians the ball underneath their own basket with 3.1 to play.
Austin Timms (Mooreville) knocked down a pair of free throws to put the game on ice and help the Indians remain unbeaten in division play.
Alex Anderson (Memphis, TN) scored 25 points and dished out 8 assists, Tory Rice scored 18, McGee and Westbrook each added 16 with Tyrone Wooten (Memphis, TN) scoring 12 in the win.

Engine Exhaust and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
The FAA recommends that you do the following:
Aviation Safety
March 17, 2010
SUBJ: Engine Exhaust and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
This is information only. Recommendations aren't mandatory.
This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) advises the owners and operators of general
aviation (GA) aircraft of an airworthiness concern, specifically the need to inspect properly and
maintain the exhaust system to prevent carbon monoxide leakage into the cabin and to install a
commercially available carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. This revision adds the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center library website and revises the recommendation
At this time, this airworthiness concern is not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an
airworthiness directive action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 39.
This SAIB is in response to a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation of an
accident on December 17, 2000, where a Beech Model BE-23 aircraft impacted terrain killing the
commercial-rated pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane. The NTSB determined the probable cause
of the accident was in part "the pilot's incapacitation due to carbon monoxide (CO) and a fractured
The FAA tasked Wichita State University to conduct research that focuses on carbon monoxide
safety issues as they apply to general aviation products. A technical report titled "Detection and
prevention of carbon monoxide exposure in General Aviation Aircraft, Document No.
DOT/FAA/AR-09/49, dated October 2009" was published, and is available from the National
Technical Information Services using the contact information noted below, and is also available
electronically at http://www.tc.faa.gov/its/worldpac/techrpt/ar0949.pdf. The report shows that 43
commercially available CO detectors, sampled from each of the five sensor technology types
(biometric, electrochemical, spot, infrared, and semiconductor) were surveyed to determine the most
appropriate sensor technology. The electrochemical sensor-based CO detectors were found to be
most suitable for use in the GA environment. Limited field testing using portable electrochemical
CO detectors was conducted in two GA aircraft models to determine the best location for a CO
detector. Based on the analyses of collected CO data, the instrument panel appeared to be the best
location for the placement of CO detectors. The report notes that, to increase the probability of being
able to detect at least 50 parts per million (PPM) anywhere in the cabin, the CO detector should be set
at a lower alarm threshold of 35 PPM. Performance parameters and specifications of various CO
detectors (available on the market) were compiled into a database as shown in Tables B-2 through B-
5 of the technical report.
2. To detect leakage of gases into the cabin due to cracks in the exhaust system, conduct
engine run up tests with cabin heat on and check for CO in the cabin with a hand-held CO
detector during 100 hour and annual inspections.
3. Continue to inspect the complete engine exhaust system during 100 hour/annual
inspections and at inspection intervals recommended by the aircraft and engine
manufacturers in accordance with their applicable maintenance manual instructions.

If Charlie Sheen Looked Like Chris Brown Or Tiger Woods Would He Keep Getting Second Chances?
What does it take to get this man fired from his job? Let's see beating and threatening his wife with a knife last Christmas didn't work. So perhaps throwing hotel furniture around while drunk, high, and naked with a prostitute (as your ex-wife and daughters sleep in the hotel suite next door), will finally get him fired.
Charlie Sheen has a rap sheet the size of Texas, and yet he has a successful prime time show called Two and a Half Men. Not only has he not been fired from his job, but his contract was renewed, and not only was it renewed, but he's one of the highest paid actors on television. In case you can't see how unfair the mainstream media is, let's just take a look at his rap sheet:
• 1990: Sheen accidentally shoots then-fiancée Kelly Preston in the arm. As flesh wounds have a funny way of killing the mood, the engagement is called off shortly thereafter.
• 1995: Two words: Heidi Fleiss. Sheen admits to being a client of the so-called Hollywood Madam, copping to having spent $50,000 for the, um, services of her call girls.
• 1995: Two months after marrying model Donna Peele, Sheen was sued by a UCLA student who claimed he struck her in the head back in 1994 after she refused him sex. The case was settled out of court.
• 1997: Sheen pleads no contest to battery charges brought by former girlfriend, model-actress Brittany Ashland, who claims Sheen threw her onto his kitchen floor
Swizz Beatz Refered To As Mr. Alicia Keys In GQ Spread…
Swizz Beatz has a fashion spread in the latest issue of GQ Magazine modeling bow-ties. This issue of GQ teaches men how to sport a bow-tie for the season and Mr. Alicia Keys was chosen as the model (their words not mine). I wonder how Swizzy feels about being called Mr. Keys by a major publication (not a blog)? He's a very successful artist in his own right with longevity in a hard industry? Is it insulting to a man in the industry to be called by his wife's name or is it just a sign of the times?

As awareness grows, you recognize that everything in the material world is ultimately impermanent. Therefore, your emotional attachment to whatever you desire must also be impermanent.
One who has finally learned that it is in the nature of objects to come and go without ceasing, rests in detachment and is no longer subject to suffering.
Ashtavakra Gita
Attachment to desires typically produces anxiety and anguish along the way, regardless of how things turn out.
Life is not suffering; it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.
Dan Millman
Attachment and desire feed on each other. The more attached you become to a desire, the more attractive the object of your desire becomes, which intensifies your attachment to it.
Attachment is blinding; it lends an imaginary halo of attractiveness to the object of desire.
Swami Sri Yukteswar
Obsessing about specific outcomes blocks you from aligning your will with Divine Will. Attachment and attunement cannot coexist.
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.

A few weeks ago I cleaned up a ranch. There were piles and piles of used corrugated tin roofing sheets the owner wanted hauled off. Some was new, but most was rusted with nail holes. I was dreading loading it, because i had to do it all by hand. I was more eager to get the heavy stuff!
Boy, was I suprised!!! I was just going to haul it all to scrap yard, but fortuantely, my buddy said that I ought to try selling it on CL. Long story short, I sold all of it (about 400 sheets) for $4.00 - $5.00 per sheet. Average size was 9' - 12' L X 26". I now post ads for free tear down and removal of it. I want MORE!!!!!!

Lorentz Force

Published author
Jonathan is a published author and recently completed a book on physics and applied mathematics.
Lorentz force is the force on charge in electromagnetic field. Lorentz force is determined by the formula F = qv x B, in which q is the charge, v is the velocity, and B is the magnetic field density. Lorentz force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. The right hand rule is applied when determining Lorentz force.
Let's talk about Lorentz force, the Lorentz force is name that we give to a force that a charge feels when its moving through a magnetic field. There is a couple of weird things about this that make it very different from an electric field. Remember that an electric field, the force is just equal to charge times electric field so I'm I double the charge I double the force everything is very very simple the force is in the same direction as the electric field. For magnetic fields is very different, we replace that formula with this one f equals charge times the velocity and then this is a cross product which is the type of vector product which we'll talk about in just a second cross the magnetic field.
Alright, now, cross products are strange. What it does is it tells you that I'm going to take these two vectors and I'm going to form from that the single vector that's perpendicular to both of them so let's say the velocity was like that and the magnetic field was like that, well there's a vector that's perpendicular to these two directions and that this vector right here so if I had a magnetic field and a velocity like that the force will be either in this direction or in this direction. In order to determine which one I use the right hand rule. The right hand rule is well simple once you get used to it so let's go ahead and just see how this works.
Supposed that I've got a magnetic field like this, I'm going to have the magnetic field coming out of the board so the magnetic field lines are all pointing like this it's like I've got a north pole back here a south pole here magnetic field lines coming out of the board that's what those dots mean. Now I send a positive charge in to the right alright, so what direction is the force in? Well first of we know because the magnetic field is that way and the charge is moving this way, the force has got to either be up or down because those are the two directions that are perpendicular both to the magnetic field and to the velocity alright, which one do we pick? Well we use our right hand that's why it's called the right hand rule, and we put our thumb in the direction that the charge is moving in we put our fingers in the direction that the magnetic field is in and our palm will now point in the direction of the force. Alright so really simple, what I want to focus on here is, what is the magnitude of this force? Now first I just want to make this statement again very clear; force is perpendicular to both the velocity and to the magnetic field and this is totally different from the way it works in the electric field situation so magnetic fields can't really exist in just two dimensions, I need all three dimensions and that's not really the case for the electric fields magnetic fields inherently three dimensional. Alright, so what's the magnitude of the force? Well the magnitude of this force is equal to the charge times the part of the velocity that's perpendicular to the magnetic field times the magnetic field so only the part of the velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field can contribute so that means that if I had a magnetic field pointed like that and I send the charge in like that no part's perpendicular and that means that there's no force, it will just go straight through along the magnetic field lines so cross products are all about perpendicular that's what you should think soon as you hear the word cross product you should be thinking right hand rule and perpendicular.
Alright let's go ahead and do a problem so suppose oh let's talk about the units first so what is the unit of the magnetic field? We haven't seen that yet well that we've got an expression for force, we can relate the unit of magnetic field which is called the Tesla to our standard units since the force that's Newtons has to be equal to charge that's coulombs times velocity that's meters per second times magnetic field that's Tesla, if we solve for the Teslas then we end up getting 1 Tesla is equal to 1 Newton second per coulomb meter which we could also write as one Newton per ampere meter. Alright a Tesla is a very large magnetic field chances are you've never been around a magnetic field that big unless you've got an M.R.I or something like that so in comparison the earth's magnetic field is only between 30 and 60 micro Tesla millionths of a Tesla, 30 at the equator and 60 at the poles it's stronger near the poles because that's where the field lines are coming together.
Alright let's go ahead and do a problem. So suppose that I've got a 7 micro coulomb charge and it's going to move at 5 kilometers per second at 20 degrees above the horizontal and it's moving that way in a 2 Tesla magnetic field that's directed upwards and I want to know the magnitude of the force that it experiences. Alright, so let's go ahead and look at this, the best thing to do when approaching a problem like this is to make a diagram first I've got the magnetic field pointing up and I've got my velocity which is directed 20 degrees above the horizontal. Alright so we can use the right hand rule really quickly just to get the direction of the force we'll say velocity magnetic field the force is out of the board which we're going to indicate with this dot like that alright so now I want to know the magnitude. Well f is q v perp v alright well in charge is easy enough 7 times 10 to the minus 6 remember we're going to work in SI units because we're going to be good Physicists here alright? So 7 times 10 to the minus 6 what's the part of the velocity that's perpendicular to the magnetic field? Well that would be this part of the velocity so that means that I need to take the speed the hypotenuse of this triangle and multiply by the cosine of 20 degrees because cosine is the adjacent side the side that's helping to make the angle so we'll have 5000 times cosine of 20 degrees alright and that's going to give us the v perp so it will be 5 times 10 to the 3 cosine 20 and then I've got to multiply by the magnetic field which is 2 alright? So if I pull all that in my calculator, all I'll end up with 6.6 times 10 to the -2 Newtons or we could say that 66 million Newtons and that's the force that's the Lorentz force law.

Snow geese often adopt stray or orphan goslings. But since acts of pure altruism are unlikely to benefit an animal, why do they do it? According to a British zoologist, the geese are not being kind but acting out of self-interest: big families of geese are better at competing for food than small ones (Animal Behaviour, vol 47, p 101).
Charity is thought to be unlikely in the wild because if animals put themselves out for others, with no benefit to themselves, they generally do not survive or reproduce as successfully as selfish members of their species. As a result, fewer of their 'do-gooder' genes are passed on to successive generations, and in the course of time natural selection weeds out the altruistic behaviour.
Tony Williams of Queen's University, Ontario, studied the lesser snow goose (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) in the wild, and found that more than 13 per cent of ...

graduate student uses business savvy
Jennifer Van Vleet isn't one to let fear of the unknown keep her from pursuing life-changing opportunities, even if it means traveling solo to India to meet a man she knows only by first name who can teach her about his business in Calcutta that spares women from the horror of prostitution.
For her graduate project in Whitworth's Master of International Management Program, Van Vleet spent three days in Calcutta -- known in India as Kolkata -- where she met with Kerry, a native of New Zealand who lives with his family in the city's red-light district, and studied the business he operates, Freeset Bags. The business employs 30 women, formerly enslaved in prostitution, who now make Freeset Bags of jute, a vegetable-based fiber that is woven into a canvas-like material.
The bags, which can be silk screened and come in varieties including wine-bottle bags, and totes used for conferences and as gift bags, are currently being sold in New Zealand, Australia and some European countries. Van Vleet's mission is to help Freeset Bags gain market penetration in the United States.
"The more successful Freeset Bags is, the more women Kerry will be able to help," says Van Vleet, who will graduate in May. "Our goal is to harness the forces of capitalism to empower and uplift these women."
Van Vleet, who is employed full time as a marketing and business-development manager at Coffman Engineers, Inc., in Spokane, is working to develop relationships with wholesale retailers and distributors who will sell the bags in the United States. She is already achieving success: Coffman Engineers has purchased 1,000 bags to use as giveaways at its open-house parties, and Van Vleet and her work with Freeset Bags was recently the topic of a feature story, "Marketing Miracle," on KXLY News 4.
Kolkata, one of the largest cities in the world with a 2001 census population of 4.59 million, is the capital city of the Indian state of West Bengal and serves as the commercial and industrial hub of eastern India.
Van Vleet traveled to Kolkata at the conclusion of a month-long Whitworth study program in Thailand, where she and other Master of International Management students studied the Thai economy and business environment, as well as the business culture of South East Asia. MIM students are required to complete a graduate project, and Dean of the School of Global Commerce and Management Kyle Usrey helped Van Vleet connect with Freeset Bags for her project.
"For my graduate project, I wanted to do something that really mattered and not just write a paper and get my degree," Van Vleet says. "I plan to help Freeset Bags beyond my degree requirements. I think that, if given the opportunity, we should use our education for good and to do something that counts."
As Freeset Bags' market base continues to grow, Kerry will be able to employ more women in addition to the 30 who already work for the company. He has been working for two years to purchase a larger building that has space for 300 women. Kerry estimates that 8,000 women work as prostitutes in the district in which Freeset Bags is located.
Freeset Bags employees helped renovate and clean their current building, which is small by U.S. standards but is an excellent facility in Kolkata, Van Vleet says. Twice a week Kerry's wife leads classes in which she teaches the women how to read and write in their native dialect.
Van Vleet, who has traveled in developing countries before, found her experience in India to be incomparable to other travels she's undertaken. She discovered that it is very difficult to conduct a business honestly in the midst of corruption, and saw first-hand the destructive effects the lucrative sex trade and human trafficking have on countries and their populaces.
"I was reminded that we who live in the U.S. or in a developed nation are really living several steps removed from what so much of the world population deals with daily: basic survival," Van Vleet says. "It was hard for me to sit a few feet away from a woman working at Freeset Bags and think about the atrocities that she has been through and know that she had to service men as a prostitute in order to live.
"I couldn't fathom her as anything less than a beautiful human creation, a child of God, and yet I knew that most of her life she was treated as nothing but an object. I don't think I could ever come close to understanding her experience."
Van Vleet once heard a friend say that his circle of tears - the people and issues he felt responsible to hurt for and help -- could only extend to his immediate environment. Van Vleet returned from India with a new take on that philosophy.
"Once you know what's out there, you lose that innocence of ignorance and you have a social responsibility to act," Van Vleet says. "I can't change the world, but I can try to do something about this particular issue, even if it's just making other people aware of the problem. My circle of tears needs to be boundless."
