Stanley Cup Playoffs Picks: Nashville Predators vs. Anaheim Ducks Game 5 Preview
- Updated: April 21, 2011
The Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators have been swinging haymakers at each other for four tough games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. They're now down to a best of three series to determine who will move on to the second round of the postseason, and we're ready to make our hockey picks in NHL betting action on the crucial fifth duel of this series.
Anaheim is carrying all of the momentum into Game 5, especially now that it is back at home. A shorthanded goal by Corey Perry early in the third period in Game 4 broke a 3-3 tie and essentially broke the fighting spirit of the Predators. Nashville was held to just 22 shots for the game, just three of which came in the decisive final stanza. Ray Emery hasn't been great in net for the Ducks, but at least he is finding a way to win games. He has conceded 10 goals over the course of his three starts and his brief mop up duty in Game 1, and though he hasn't looked fantastic, he is at least getting the job done. Instead, it's an offense that has ripped off at least 30 shots in three of the four games in this series and has a tremendous shooting percentage that is doing the job. Anaheim scored nine goals in two games against the Predators in the Music City, and it now has 13 goals for the series. The good news is that Bobby Ryan will be back in the lineup in Game 5 after serving his two game suspension.
The Predators really have to get their composure back in order. Jordin Tootoo was ejected from the game on Wednesday night after getting a misconduct and a game misconduct on the same play late in the third period, while Martin Erat might be sidelined with an upper body injury that he suffered thanks to a brutal hit from Jarkko Ruutu. Pekka Rinne has a GAA that has risen up to 3.75 in this series, virtually double his 2.12 GAA from the regular season, and that's a really, really bad sign for a team that doesn't have all that much offense as it is. If there's good news (and it's hard to find), it's that Patric Hornqvist and Mike Fisher are still on an absolute tear. Hornqvist has four goals and six assists since the start of April, including two goals and a helper here in the playoffs. Fisher has scored five goals and six assists since the very end of March, and he already has three goals and two assists in the postseason.
Nashville Predators vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick: The Ducks have won 27 games in front of their faithful at the Honda Center this year, and there is no reason to believe that this game won't be No. 28. Anaheim really has the momentum rolling once again, and though it can change at the drop of a hat, we don't see it happening, at least yet. Go with the Ducks -140.

MUMIAS Co-operative were stunned 2-0 by Malaba Boca Juniors in the on-going Obama Cup tournament at ACK Nambale Primary School ground on Wednesday. Job Omuse took the Teso district league champions into the lead in the 60 minute courtesy of a penalty after he was brought down in the box by a Mumcop defender.
Elvis Orachi put the issue beyond doubt with the second goal in the 75th minute from a 30m free kick. The win put Boca on the summit with nine points from three matches, three points ahead of Mumcop.
Mumcop are among six teams from Western and North Western branch that will feature in the Mini-league that kicks off at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega tomorrow.
Boca coach Altaf Bachu said the win was a confirmation that the team can go places if supported. Kolongolo suffereda blow when right back, Ibrahim Misiko sustained borne fracture in their 2-0 win over Nasira. The injury will lock out Misiko from tomorrow's mini-league, where Kolongolo will also feature.

The Pittsburgh Steelers don't make many mistakes when it comes to personnel moves, so I typically try to give them the benefit of the doubt.
When they placed the franchise tag on Jeff Reed this past summer, for example, I didn't throw papers in the air and scream about how horrible it was because, well, for all of his faults (and there are a few) he's managed to make a lot of big kicks throughout his career.
That, of course, was the justification for keeping him and paying him the average salary of the five highest paid kickers in the NFL. And as I've pointed out on many a Steelers Lounge podcast this season, you can't use that as a justification for signing him to that contract, and then look the other way when he misses those very kicks. And so far in 2010, that's what he's been doing. A lot.
The problem is Jeff Reed, like every other kicker in the NFL, is wildly inconsistent on a year-to-year basis.
Reed nailed a 53-yard field goal just before the half on Monday night to give the Steelers a 20-7 lead heading into the break. It was a big kick, and the type of kick you want — and expect — your multi-million dollar kicker to hit. The problem, however, is that it's only the second kick Reed has successfully converted beyond 40-yards this season, as he's currently 2-for-8 in that range. And that, simply, is not good enough. It's not just the fact he's missing the kicks, but when he's missing them: Potential game-winners (Atlanta) or kicks that could have helped to put a team away (Cincinnati) late in the game. The reason you pay him what you pay him is to make those kicks in big situations. There's nothing special about a kicker that nails 35-yarders all day and then shanks the 45-yarders with the game on the line.
Nobody is going to sit here and pretend that the Steelers are a flawless team without warts. Because they're not. Just like every other team in the NFL, they have flaws and weaknesses. Show me a Super Bowl contender in the NFL right now, and I'll show you a team with at least one weakness somewhere on its roster (Jets: Quarterback. Patriots: Defense. Colts: Injuries/Running Game. Any NFC team: They're all terrible).
Right now, one of the weaknesses for the Steelers is Jeff Reed. And he is the only weakness that might have a better alternative floating around the waiver wire or free agency pool, which is why he will be the player called out the most, and why he will be the player everybody looks to replace. Good luck finding a new right tackle in free agency in Week 9; but you might find a capable kicker (that is, after all, how they found Reed in the first place. Todd Peterson was terrible, so they brought a bunch of guys in off the street for an open tryout, and one of them was good enough to stick). As JJ pointed out during SL Podcast #15, the only reason you bring in another kicker, even for a look, is if you think Reed has completely lost it and is done. I'm not sure we're at that point yet, but it wouldn't be unheard of for a once-successful kicker to just lose it out of nowhere. It happens. It happens because kickers are completely nuts.
I looked at every current kicker in the NFL and compared their year-to-year success rates, and, not surprisingly, they fluctuate on a yearly basis. Up one year. Down the next. Almost no consistency from anybody. See for yourself. The names of the individual kickers on the chart aren't important. What's important is that almost none of them can be counted on to repeat their previous seasons results — whether they be good or bad — while they all vary between 70 percent and 85 percent from one year to the next.
That's a mess. Let's drill it down a little further. Here's Jeff Reed's chart, year-by-year. Not surprisingly, it looks like a roller coaster.
Just for laughs, here's the player that is regarded — justified or not — as one of the best, most consistent, and most clutch kickers to ever play in the NFL: Adam Vinatieri. The only thing consistent about him is his inconsistency, especially once he hit year six of his career.
I understand why team's value a good kicker as highly as they do. When you're lining up for a 45-yard field goal with three seconds to play, trailing by one point, you want a person out there you can count on to drill it in a pressure situation.
But the reality is, investing heavily in a kicker is a risky proposition because you never really know what you're going to get in a given season, while there's usually cheaper options floating around the league looking for work. Look, all players have bad seasons — or good seasons — that stand out from their career norms, but you would be hard pressed to find another position that has so many players vary too such a degree as what you see with kickers.
In short: Franchising a kicker may not be the best use of that asset (or that salary cap space, assuming the cap is in place. Fortunately, there's no salary cap in the NFL this season so it's not really hurting the Steelers in a financial sense. Well, outside of the Rooney family checking account.)

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the biggest gardening event in Britain and a perfect event for late Spring. This year, the Chelsea Flower Show will be happening between the 20th and 24th of May at The Royal Chelsea Hospital. The show is a showcase of the most beautiful gardens, plants and design of the year. If you love gardening, then this event is not to be missed. Staying in a London Travelodge will allow you to take your time and to experience all the event has to offer. Here are just a few of this years highlights:
1. Champagne Laurrent-Perrier
The Champagne Laurrent-Perrier garden promises to be an elegant garden focusing on flawless use of form and texture. Designed by Luciano Giubbilei, the formal garden has been specially imagined to invite a mixture of stillness and movement through an interplay of plants, water and sculptural pieces by Ursula von Rydingsvard.
2. The Roof Gardens
This artisan garden is a celebration of 75 years of the Kensington Roof Gardens. Designed by David Lewis, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden takes inspiration from The Spanish Garden designed by Ralph Hancock in 1936. The garden is a vibrant space taking influence from Moorish design and delicately blending past and present.
3. No Man's Land
ABF, The Soldiers' Charity is set to present a special garden in order to mark the Centenary of World War One. Charlotte Row has designed a garden that will reflect the turmoil of war and represent its effects on the physical and spiritual human body. The garden has been designed to support the charity and will be a particularly poignant place to visit.
4. Britain in Bloom
Alan Titchmarsh will be designing the Britain in Bloom's 50th anniversary garden as a way to celebrate his own 50th year as a gardener. Alan Titchmarsh hasn't designed a garden at Chelsea sine 1985 when he won gold medal! The garden will depict the journey of Britain in Bloom, starting in the Yorkshire Dales and ending in The Isle of Wight.
5. Discovery
New this year, Discovery is an exhibit showcasing the best scientific and educational work in the world of horticulture. This exhibit is a great place to visit if you want to stay at the cutting edge of gardening.
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is also a great place to grab a bite to eat or sit down for something more luxurious. If the Champagne garden inspired you, then sitting at the Refresh Champagne Bar with a glass of bubbly and a freshly made platter is a great option. If you fancy a sit down meal with waitress service, then the Rock Bank Restaurant will be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and everything in between. If you are after something more casual or simply want to reserve all your time for browsing the garden displays, then the two food courts offer a great range of typically British sandwiches, jacket potatoes, salads, cakes and even glasses of everyone's warm weather favourite, Pimm's!

Use of Masimo SET Pulse Oximetry Increases CHD Detection in Newborns, Study Says
February 2, 2009 - A new multi-center study of 39,821 newborns published in the January 2009 issue of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that the addition of Masimo SET pulse oximetry screening before discharge increased detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) by 28 percent from 72 percent to 92 percent when compared to a cohort group of 108,604 newborns in whom no pulse oximetry screening was used.
In addition, researchers noted that "no baby died from undiagnosed duct dependent circulation" in the Masimo SET group, while five babies from the cohort group died during the same period.1
In the study, Anne de-Wahl Granelli, M.D., of the Queen Silvia Children's Hospital in Goteborg, Sweden, and colleagues screened babies born between 2004 and 2007 at five well baby nurseries using Masimo SET pulse oximetry. A positive pulse oximetry result was defined as an oxygen saturation of <95 percent measured both preductally (right hand) and postductally (either foot), or a measurement difference >3 percent between the two measurements. The study found that the positive predictive value of pulse oximetry screening was at least seven times higher than the best-case scenario for standard neonatal physical examination alone (20.7 percent vs. 3.1 percent).
The researchers concluded that Masimo pulse oximetry screening of "all well babies in maternity units is practically feasible with a minimum use of nursing time" and that it "significantly improves" detection of duct dependent CHD. Researchers also commented that "the low false positive rate, the fact that other important pathology is unearthed by the screening and the likely reduced need for preoperative neonatal intensive care suggest that such screening will be cost effective."

Mortar blast in Nev. kills 7 Marines
The Marine Corps official said an explosion at the point of firing in a training exercise could kill or maim anyone inside or nearby the protective mortar pit and could concussively detonate any mortars stored nearby in a phenomenon known as "sympathetic detonation."
The official said a worldwide moratorium after such an accident is not unusual and would persist until the investigation determines that the weapon did not malfunction in ways that would hurt other Marines or that mortars manufactured at the same time as the one involved in the accident were safe.
The official said it would be normal to warn other U.S. military branches that use 60mm mortars, such as the Army, about the Marines warning. The moratorium could last for weeks or months.
The investigation will focus on whether the Marines followed procedures to properly fire the weapon, whether there was a malfunction in the firing device or in the explosive mortar itself, the official said.
The Hawthorne Army Depot stores and disposes of ammunition. The facility is made up of hundreds of buildings spread over more than 230 square miles, and bunkers dot the sagebrush-covered hills visible from the highway. Hawthorne is in the shadow of Mt. Baker, which reaches an elevation of 11,239 feet.
Retired Nevada state archivist Guy Rocha said the facility opened in 1930, four years after a lightning-sparked explosion virtually destroyed the Lake Denmark Naval Ammunition depot in northern New Jersey, about 40 miles west of New York City.
The blast and fires that raged for days heavily damaged the adjacent Picatinny Army Arsenal and surrounding communities, killing 21 people, and seriously injuring more than 50 others.
Hawthorne has held an important place in American military history since WWII when it became the staging area for ammunition, bombs and rockets for the war. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection says that the depot employed more than 5,500 people at its peak.
The facility was considered safely remote, but strategically close to Navy bases in California.
Rocha said he was unaware of any other catastrophic event at the depot over the years it served as a munitions repository. The facility has downsized in recent years, but survived a round of base closures nationwide in 2005.
Military officials noted that it gave Marines, Army and Navy personnel a place to train for deployment overseas. "They train at a similar climate, elevation and terrain as Afghanistan," said Rocha, who has visited the depot many times over the years.
In the small town near the depot, a massive flag in a park across from the local war memorial waved at half-staff.
Larry Mortensen, an industrial engineer at the depot for 41 years before retiring in 1999, serves with his wife, Carole, on the board of directors of the Hawthorne Ordinance Museum. The museum displays hundreds of shells and other munitions, battery guns and weapons dating to WWII.
Mortensen said there had been fatal accidents at the depot in years past, but none resulting in mass casualties. He said he expected the rural town of about 3,500 residents to rally around victims' families.
"It's a military community. Everybody here supports the military," he said.

I will tell you that! WE ARE JUST NOT IN FOR ANY CHANGE! However sick of the system we maybe, we are simply too regressive to stand up for an alternative.
In a discussion with a group of friends in the morning, I realised how difficult it is to change INDIANS! Powerless as I was, since I did not have my Voter ID I was trying to convince my friends of voting for AAP. Some were BJP supporters, while the others stuck with Congress. They had their own valid reasons for it, but the only thing that agitated me was that if you are completely fine with the system, why did you always criticise it? First you cry about the corruption in India, and then when someone comes to talk about a corruption free country, you are suspicious of them as well!
It is certain that we can't have a corruption free India, and I will tell you the reason for that too. People like you and me, who have a decent living, people from the upper middle class, people who have enough to bribe others for their work, will never want a change. Ask yourself, if you can pay "donation" to get your stupid child admitted in a B-School, why the hell will you want a change?
It is not the government who is corrupt, we had made them so! We are responsible for their actions. Had we acted, questioned and protested on the spot, this sad day wouldn't have come!
I know I don't have the right to say all this when I have not voted myself, but I am upset with the way people with that power are behaving. Some vote for a certain party just because their parents told them to, while others don't want to take a chance with the alternative because they are new and don't have enough power. Some said we will vote for the ever victorious party in our area, because it is certain AAP won't win and if we vote for them, we are simply wasting our vote! Different minds, different votes! But people, isn't our cause common? Aren't we all fighting with that same giant of evil hanging around all of us?
During the discussion, a friend rightly pointed at me and said that if I am so eager for AAP to win, I should have made sure that I have my voter ID before time. I accept my mistake. I surely wouldn't have behaved as careless had it been the case with my examination admit card, but I do have the right to share my thoughts about a cause.. I have the right to talk about things which are not just about 'YOU' and 'ME'! It is about the nation, about billions of homeless, jobless, foodless and cloth less people on the streets. If you think Congress has made the Metro and developed Delhi, you are mistaken my friend. Of course, congress has made considerable change in the state, but do you ever think of those people who are still not aware of what a Metro train looks like? Or someone who doesn't even know what the Metro is?
I am ashamed that I did not bother myself to take the pain and get my card on time, but people… you have the power! Don't do what your family or friends are doing blindly!
I discussed it with my friends because I know the one with POWER can bring a lot of change. Powerless like me can transfer our messages to you, the rest is in your hands of course!

Aggie student-athletes embrace college experience--and a diploma--
at this weekend's ceremonies
by Chandler Smith
For several student-athletes at Texas A&M University, graduation – an often bittersweet experience – is on the horizon. Though they leave the University as students, the core values and education that embody the Aggie experience will live on and bolster them as they plunge into the journey of life.
As with all graduates at Texas A&M, student-athletes will each leave with an especially invaluable item – a degree. Most will also graduate in possession of an Aggie Ring, a symbol of the collective spirit, tradition, values and experience unique only to Aggieland.
Kristen Grant, a senior and member of the Aggie women's basketball team, spoke of the values both items possess.
"I literally cried when I got my Aggie Ring I was so excited," Grant said. "The Aggie Ring connects you to all Aggies worldwide. People see the Aggie Ring and they'll come talk and build relationships. It gets you in the door even if it might not land you a job. People who have a degree from A&M are very successful. There's no school like it."
- Matt Joeckel
There still comes a specific and special uniqueness, however, to the student-athlete experience. While important lessons are learned in the academic arena, so too are they taught within the context of athletics.
Grant said she cherishes the advice she received from women's basketball head coach Gary Blair.
"The biggest thing from Coach Blair was just getting out and being able to talk to people," Grant said. "People think he's all basketball but talking to people was the most valuable thing I learned. I was always a shy kind of person but when I arrived my freshman year he would stick me out there and say, 'Go'. You learn quickly how to talk and listen to people. All the things you need for the real world he taught us here."
Aggie football's junior quarterback Matt Joeckel, while still interested in returning for his final year of football eligibility post-graduation, said he appreciated Aggieland's emphasis of a family culture.
"I'd say it's just all about family, a family that's so close even though you're coming to a school with 50,000-plus people," Joeckel said. "You go on campus, or anywhere off campus, everyone is just like brothers and sisters. You relate to Aggies in a different way."
A player for both head football coach Kevin Sumlin and former coach Mike Sherman, Joeckel said he admired both staffs for their character and honesty – virtues he would want to emulate in his own life.
"I came to A&M for [Coach] Sherman and that staff because they were such great people, but [Sumlin's] staff is a great group of men I would want to be like," Joeckel said. "They've always been honest and straightforward, something that's sometimes tough to do in that profession. It's been a privilege to work with both coaching staffs."
31 student-athletes will congregate Friday at Reed Arena for what should be a memorable graduation ceremony as they bid farewell to Aggieland. Each will be empowered with a Texas A&M degree but – perhaps more importantly – they will all draw from the unique student-athlete experience.
"I am extremely proud of these young people for taking advantage of an opportunity to continue to play a sport they love, while also earning a degree from our world-class university," Athletics Director Eric Hyman said. "These student-athletes have put in a lot of time, effort and dedication to reach this goal. Everyone who has supported them throughout their lives is to be congratulated as well."

A dashing blonde. A fancy car. A movie premiere followed by a midnight murder...
A cartoon sketch?
In a very odd memorial tribute to the murdered publicist Ronni Chasen, who was killed in Beverly Hills while driving home from a movie premiere more than a year ago, arts meme blogger Debra Levine has posted a cartoonish sketch rendering of the murder story that gripped a nation. Artist Benoit Le Pennec drew a series of sketches depicting the chain of events leading up to the Chasen murder—not in the noirish style of the events as they really happened, but as a kind of trippy comic book storyboard: There's the murderous gun-toting bicyclist blowing the smoke out of his gun, with his big puffy cheeks, while Chasen's car smokes after its crash into a tree.
Levine's instinct to spotlight a re-telling of the story makes sense—it was the most spellbinding crime of the year. And she aptly refers to it as an "exquisite, undiluted brand of L.A. noir…gripping, priceless, stranger than fiction" but its darkness and iniquity are diluted in caricature. A stormy graphic novel full of color and terror would have been more mystifying in movie-land.

Enhance your Understanding of Human Behavior with a Concentration in Applied Psychology
The world is more connected now than ever before and the level of interaction is unprecedented. To navigate business and personal relationships successfully, you need to have a deep understanding of human behavior. The applied psychology degree program at Southern New Hampshire University puts psychological theories and approaches to work, turning classic concepts and current research into real-world solutions.
SNHU's online Bachelor of Arts in Psychology offers a concentration in Applied Psychology, placing an emphasis on human behavior in specific environments. By looking closely at how core principles and research can be used to examine and impact society, this applied psychology degree will deepen your understanding of the societal institutions of health, industry, education, law and community service.
Coursework that Applies Psychological Principles
When you enroll in the concentration in Applied Psychology, you will investigate how different areas of psychology are used to both answer questions and create real-world solutions. By applying the appropriate research methods, you will learn to interpret behavior and mental processes through different psychological perspectives. The applied psychology degree studies specific areas of practical and research-based human behavior, including:
- Educational Psychology - How and why people learn are at the core of educational psychology. Explore the concepts of readiness, development, reasoning and individual differences as you refine your understanding of human behavior in an educational environment.
- Sport Psychology - Learn about leadership and what motivates people to perform at the top of their game. Gain an understanding of how self-control, aggression, commitment and anxiety relate to each other.
- Forensic Psychology - Connect psychology to the legal system, with an emphasis on the social psychology of the courtroom. Examine testimony, interviewing strategy, recovered memories and witness credibility from a psychological point of view.
- Health Psychology - Applying the biopsychosocial model to health beliefs and behaviors can promote healing and wellbeing and improve coping with illness. Health psychology applies principles and theories as they relate to the healthcare system, individuals and practitioners.
- Industrial Organizational Psychology - Apply psychological theories, principles and research to the workplace and improve office climate, performance and organizational results.
- Community Psychology - Understanding that context matters is critical to developing a comprehensive perspective. Social issues, community support systems, and policies and interventions that foster collective and individual wellness are the focus of this interactive and interdisciplinary subject.
Applied Psychology Careers
While not leading to licensure or certification, the psychology concepts and communication skills you learn in this applied psychology degree program can help you succeed in a myriad of industries – from business and community to human services and education. This Applied Psychology concentration will also prepare you for potential career paths such as an Applied Behavioral Science Specialist as well as to pursue graduate studies and research opportunities.
Transfer of Credit
If you're a student who wants to transfer to SNHU or if you simply want to finish what you've started, we try to make transferring as easy as possible. We will accept up to 90 transferred academic credits and we automatically complete an official credit evaluation as part of the application review process.

A shinbone fracture is a break in the tibia. The tibia is the larger of 2 bones in the lower leg that connects the knee to the ankle. It runs on the inside of the lower leg. The fibula is much smaller and runs along the outside of the lower leg.
A shinbone fracture is caused by trauma to the shinbone. Trauma includes:
Factors that may increase your chance of a shinbone fracture include:
Shinbone fracture may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The doctor will examine the injured area.
Imaging tests may include:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your shinbone. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your shinbone in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, walking boot, or cast. A walker or crutches will help you move around while keeping weight off your leg.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
Prescription or over-the-counter medications may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
Medications may include acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Healing time varies by age and your overall health. Children and people in better overall health heal faster. In general, it takes up to 4-6 months for a fractured shinbone to heal.
You will need to adjust your activities while your shinbone heals, but complete rest is rarely required. Ice and elevating your leg at rest may also be recommended to help with discomfort and swelling.
As you recover, you may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. Do not return to activities or sports until your doctor gives you permission to do so.

- " This accommodation was mostly what we'd hoped for! The only thing lacking was breakfast. Their coffee machine was broken and they offered us instant, with either a shrink wrapped ham sandwich or cheese danish (presumably to be microwaved), so it was better for us to get good coffee and breakfast around the corner. The room was not serviced while we were there, three nights, but I consider that a plus. There was an air conditioner in the room and reserved parking for an additional fee. "

One of the stranger features of the quantum world is that lighteven individual photonscan behave as a wave or a particle, depending on how you measure it. But, according to papers released by Science today, the quantum weirdness doesn't end there. Researchers have now found a way to put a photon in a quantum superposition where it is both a wave and a particle at the same time. Worse still, one setup allows them to determine the photon's nature as a wave or particle after it has gone through an apparatus where it must act as one or the other.

With what speed does the mass hit the ground at the bottom of the cliff?
The following takes place at a colony on the Moon some time in the distant future:
A 40 kg cannon is loaded with a 10 kg cannonball and mounted on a 6 kg platform with wheels very low to the ground. The wheeled platform is pushed and moves forward at 3 m/s horizontally. When the cannonball is fired out, the cannon recoils (backward) with a velocity of 2 m/s relative to the ground. The cannonball then strikes a large solid block that weighs 32N and is sitting on the edge off a 50 m high cliff and becomes embedded in it. The combined mass is shot horizontally off the cliff. With what speed does the mass hit the ground at the bottom of the cliff?
3 Answers | Add Yours
All the information about the cannon and its forward speed and recoil speed are extra information, not necessary to solve the problem. It also does not matter what the mass of the rock is, with or without the cannon ball embedded in it.
The key is to remember that horizontal and vertical velocities are treated as acting independently.
Thus, when the cannon ball hits the rock and pushes it over the cliff its initial velocity in the downward or y-direction is zero. The question is, how much will its velocity increase as it falls the 50 meters under the influence of the moon's gravitational acceleration. The value for g on the moon is 1.63 m/s/s.
Now using a kinematic equation: Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2gh, you can solve for the final velocity (Vf)
Vf^2 = 0 + 2 x 1.63 x 50
and Vf = 12.77 m/s
i dont think the person answered right. can someone else help me?

'Turn' Season 1, episode 9 'Against Thy Neighbor' recap: Simcoe sparks a madnessAdd to Favorites | TURN: Washington's Spies
All season it's been clear that Lt. John Simcoe is the mad dog of the British forces stationed in Setauket, but in the penultimate episode of "Turn" Season 1, his madness finally spread to those around him.
In an effort to root out the patriots in Setauket -- and, in his mind, Abraham Woodhull as well -- Simcoe framed a situation where Major Hewlett would have no choice but to see dissent in front of him. Simcoe poisoned Hewlett's beloved horse and blamed it on Caleb Brewster's uncle, and then had Judge Woodhull shot while blaming it on Benjamin Tallmadge's father. All sound evidence for Hewlett, who is ready to see the Setauket citizens hang.
Simcoe's goal to get the patriot manifesto conspirators revealed actually worked, as a man came forward and gave up that document. But that action spurred Abraham to use his law degree and act as prosecutor on the trial to prove that the evidence points against the defendants. His ploy would have worked, too, if the town hadn't turned against him in the process.
So Hewlett agrees to have some "mercy" and sentence the Setauket men on trial to 10 years aboard a British ship instead of immediate death. Both sentences will likely end with the same result -- the men dead -- anyway, so it wasn't much of a compromise. As a result, Abe swears to find the true man responsible for the attacks, which means he and Simcoe will once again come head-to-head.
But that's not the only trouble brewing in and around Setauket. Ben makes the bad choice of abandoning General Washington's orders to return home with Caleb and defend their families. And as Abe continues his dalliance with Anna, Mary is becoming more frustrated with him and his treatment of their family. That puts him in a pretty bad situation, considering in the final scene of the episode she finds all of his spy equipment.
What will she do with that information? In all likelihood, she'll go to Abe's father instead of directly to her husband. But Judge Woodhull did tell her that the blame in her marriage falling apart is partially hers, so maybe she will do the right thing and not give Abe up immediately. Just as long as she doesn't go to Simcoe or Hewlett, because that will be bad news for Abraham Woodhull.

Global REM (Race, Ethnicity, Migration) is designed to strengthen an existing cluster of faculty and the departments, programs and interdisciplinary research centers with which they are associated, extending the contributions they already make to the diversification of research and teaching at the University of Minnesota. Minnesota has long nurtured scholarly expertise and teaching on race, ethnicity and migration. (The birthplace of immigration history in the 1920s and home of pioneering American Studies Department for over a half century, the first REM initiative organized a seminar and conference in the late 1990s.) U.S.-focused in its earlier iterations, new hires have internationalized scholarship on REM across the disciplines.
Globalization and rising flows of population inevitably raise questions about how race, ethnicity, and other forms of cultural diversity are structured and understood in all parts of the world. Global REM hopes to bring networks of expertise on all world regions into regular conversation. With a scholarly seminar Global REM faculty play a special role in the education of new and increasingly diverse undergraduate and graduate students. Global REM faculty can provide the cultural expertise needed by the U to work effectively with new and old immigrant and ethnic communities in the Twin Cities and beyond.
An early publication (by Gabaccia, Leinonen, Alexander and Donato) of the IHRC's 2007-2012 project "Gender Ratios and International Migration Project" is among papers to be discussed on Nov. 8. FFI wileyblackwellexchanges.com.

New York Times publisher to be honored at May Undergraduate Commencement
The college will award an honorary doctorate of humane letters to Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times, at the May Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 21, on the Old Main Quadrangle.
Sulzberger will deliver the undergraduate commencement speech after receiving the honorary degree, the highest honor that the State University of New York can bestow upon an individual.
"I couldn't ask for a more fitting speaker," said College President Steven Poskanzer. "He is both one of the most distinguished and important national figures in journalism and public affairs, and knowledgeable and connected to the Mid-Hudson Region."
The journalist and publisher followed his father and grandfather in running the prestigious daily. He became publisher of The New York Times in 1992 and was named chairman of The New York Times Company in 1997. Under his leadership, the company's flagship newspaper, The New York Times, has earned 28 Pulitzer Prizes.
Since becoming chairman, he spearheaded several print, broadcast and online innovations as the company's business strategist to keep the newspaper on the cutting edge of the global media marketplace. He helped launch NYTimes.com on the Web, and started new enterprises such as The New York Times Learning Network and The Discovery Times Channel.
In 2005, the company was ranked first in the publishing industry in Fortune's list of America's Most Admired Companies for the fifth consecutive year.
Also at the undergraduate ceremony, Poskanzer will award alumnus, Congressman Maurice Hinchey ('68,'70g), the Presidential Medal, the highest honor the campus can bestow upon an individual, in recognition of his ongoing support of the college.

Lyric Unlimited's Youth Opera Council had a banner first season. This group of 22 high school-aged opera lovers learned about running an opera company, met Lyric guest artists, and—of course—saw a lot of opera! Here are a few of the highlights from the year.
Lyric Unlimited's Youth Opera Council, a new initiative for the 2013-14 season, had a banner year. This group of 22 high school-aged opera lovers met regularly, speaking with Lyric staff about the operations of an opera company. They also had the opportunity to attend every mainstage production this year and to meet some of Lyric's fantastic guest artists.
Here are a few of the highlights!
On February 1, the council hosted "A Night at the Opera" before the opening of Lyric's new production of The Barber of Seville (pictured above). At this sold-out event, the council invited 200 of their family and friends for a casual preconcert reception that featured the chance to mingle with members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus and try on a few costumes! Here is a video that gives a flavor of this special event:
The council also had meetings with some of Lyric's great guest artists: Nathan Gunn, Isabel Leonard, and Alek Shrader, all stars of The Barber of Seville. They also spent a very special evening with La Clemenza di Tito star Joyce DiDonato (pictured right). Joyce also ran into some Youth Opera Council members during intermission of a Rusalka student matinee performance and captured their profound thoughts on why opera is important and thriving:
Other special events included a special backstage tour led by Lyric's Audience Education Manager Jesse Gram, as well as regular meetings here at Lyric, some of which included visits with key Lyric staff. Guest speakers have included Lyric General Director Anthony Freud, Lyric Unlimited Director Cayenne Harris, Public Relations Director Alexandra Day, Barber of Seville Assistant Director Elise Sandell, and Assistant Stage Manager Bill Walters.
Want to be part of this great group? Applications are now being accepted for the 2014-15 Youth Opera Council. Click here to learn more and apply today!

Matthew Polenzani, Joyce DiDonato, and Amanda Majeski are currently heating up the stage in Lyric's new-to-Chicago production of Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito. In addition to their electric performances, they've been a busy trio off stage as well!
Matthew Polenzani, Joyce DiDonato, and Amanda Majeski are currently creating sparks on stage in Lyric's new production of Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito. In its review of the production, the Chicago Tribune praised all three for delivering "one terrific vocal showpiece after another." In addition to creating magic on stage, they've been a busy trio offstage as well.
North shore native Matthew Polenzani took a trip down memory lane with Chicago Tonight's Eddie Arruza, talking about growing up in the Chicago suburbs and the beginnings of his operatic career, capped with a performance of Tito's aria "Ah, se fosse intorno al trono" from Act One of La Clemenza di Tito with Bill Billingham:
He stayed after the segment to perform "Danny Boy" for this
web extra:
Joyce DiDonato grabbed a drink with Chicago Magazine's Graham Meyer during the February 22 opening of Lyric's new production of Rusalka and chatted about her recent trip to Africa and the things she loves most about Chicago.
She also took time to visit with Lyric's new Youth Opera Council, tweeting after her experience: "Opera is dead?!?! HA! Take THAT naysayers! Totally inspired by these young, TALENTED opera lovers from @LyricOpera."
And DiDonato was very busy on March 12, giving a live performance on Chicago classical music station 98.7 WFMT as part of their Impromptu series and then going to Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall for a master class that was also broadcast live around the web!
Amanda Majeski talked with the Daily Herald's Jamie Sotonoff and Dann Gire about being rejected from her first high school audition and how much this Ryan Opera Center alumna enjoys making Chicago her home base.
Plus, she hit a personal milestone as she and her husband Sam Handley celebrated their first wedding anniversary on March 9. They met while members of Lyric's own Ryan Opera Center! You can read more about their love story, along with a few other Lyric couples, in this Chicago Sun-Times story from last year.

The passion, drama, and intrigue of ancient Rome awaits in Lyric's new-to-Chicago production of Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito (on stage now through March 23). Get into the spirit with these beverages inspired by this magnificent opera.
Vitellia and Sesto should have toasted their plan to assassinate the emperor with this blood-red delight. A sweet and spicy concoction, it perfectly captures their all-consuming passion and its tragic consequences.
Combine ingredients in a shaker over ice, shake vigorously and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or over fresh ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a lemon twist. (Recipe from Drew Levinson, Wirtz Beverage Nevada)
Vitellia and Sesto were unsuccessful in their attempt to murder the emperor, but this take on the Bloody Mary reminds us of what might have been.
Combine all ingredients except ice and garnishes in a shaker, fill with ice, shake vigorously, and pour into an 8-ounce glass. If desired, garnish with pickled green beans and a lemon wedge. (Recipe from Chow.com)
In honor of the two trouser roles in La Clemenza di Tito, excellently portrayed by Joyce DiDonato and Cecelia Hall, here's a cocktail that indulges the masculine and feminine sides of the taste spectrum with a good-quality whiskey and a slightly sweet homemade sour mix and maraschino cherries.
Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, lime juice, and syrup. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and pour in the drink mix 2/3 full. Shake for 15 seconds and pour into four glasses. Add a maraschino cherry and serve ice cold. Note: To make the sugar syrup, bring 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to a boil, and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Chill before using. (Recipe from Ina Garten at Food Network)
All Romans love the distinctive taste of Campari, so you can channel some of the Italian spirit (and toast Emperor Titus's health) with this classic cocktail.
Combine all of the ingredients in a short glass filled with ice and stir. Run the orange peel around the edge of the glass, lightly squeezing to express the oils. Drop the peel into the glass and enjoy. (Recipe from The Kitchn)

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
So, despite my probably not being there, I'm hoping that LUGOD can put
together a little celebration (cake, snacks, maybe pizzas) for our
8th birthday meeting.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard a 'yes' or 'no' from any of the officers,
so perhaps if people want this to happen, some members can volunteer to
do the foot-work. (We have, in the past, had snacks and cake donated by
friendly members like Christine Scobee, Eric Engelhard and his wife, etc.)
I can't say whether LUGOD can (or wants to) reimburse for any purchases,
though... that's a treasurer (Henry) decision, and, again I haven't heard
'yes' or 'no'.
(hoping the officers remember to pick up the library key on Sunday, since
the library is closed on Monday! >X^P )

Segregation can be described along both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The horizontal dimension describes how women and men are distributed across some set of occupational fields or, in the case of educational programs, different fields of study. Figure E-4-1, for example, shows the subfields of women and men who earned doctoral degrees awarded by mathematics departments in the United States in 2008. The largest number of degrees was awarded in statistics and biostatistics, in which women accounted for 51 percent of the Ph.D. recipients. Women also accounted for just more than half (54 percent) of the doctoral degrees in mathematics education. Among the other nine fields shown in the chart, women accounted for between 12 percent (probability) and 31 percent (differential, integral, and difference equations) of the doctoral degree recipients.
The vertical dimension, then, provides an understanding of segregation within a system that involves ranking. Vertical segregation looks at a particular occupation, or set of occupations, to see how people from different social groups occupy different levels within that occupation. Figure E-4-2, using data from the U.S. National Science Foundation, shows the distribution of women and men across the ranks of U.S. doctoral-degree mathematics faculty. Typically, faculty in the full and associate professor ranks also hold tenure, while those in the assistant and instructor/lecturer ranks are not tenured. Each rank represents a level of additional advancement over the previous one. While women are split nearly equally in the two senior ranks and the two junior ranks, more than half of male doctoral-degreed mathematics faculty were full professors. Altogether, about 80 percent of men faculty in mathematics held relatively secure and powerful positions, while women were more likely to be in lower-level positions. Further, one-in-ten women mathematics faculty holding doctoral degrees were in what are often considered the least secure and least powerful positions as instructors/lecturers.
