Guest Column: Response to Dan Kenney on Rep. Manzullo
By James C. Davis
In response to Dan Kenney's letter to the editor in The Rock River Times from the Jan. 25-31 issue, "Manzullo does not represent the views of his district."
First of all, you should know the difference between a democracy and a republic.
Democracy — In its purest or most ideal form would be a society in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.
Republic — The American Republican form of democracy is like the checks and balances placed upon the elected officials and appointed offices of the court, so are there checks and balances placed upon the people where the general will cannot affect the rights of the individual. It is the republic that has kept the people from voting their rights away, and as the people continue to vote themselves plundered money, the first thing that will be thrown away will be the republic.
The United States is a republic.
The 10th Amendment states that all prerogatives not vested in the federal government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states and to the people, which means that the only prerogatives of the Congress (as well as the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch) are limited to those granted by the Constitution of the United States.
You state in your letter: "Today, that protection would include health, environment, Medicare and Social Security. And empowerment begins with a free and equal public education. Our freedom depends upon a commitment to care and act on that care for our fellow citizens. Rep. Manzullo rejects all of this."
Where do you find that in the Constitution?
You also state in your letter: "It is these conservative values that led to the economic collapse. Ask yourself if Rep. Manzullo's world view is accurate, why the unemployment rate in the 16th Congressional District has more than doubled since he took office in 1992."
Please look back to 1999; when (Republican) Gov. Jim Edgar left office, he had eliminated the backlog in payments of the state's bills, given the state a surplus and reduced the size of state government. He had also fought for and won passage of historic legislation on the way Illinois schools are funded and had overhauled the state's child welfare system.
Since then, the Illinois government has been controlled by Illinois (Chicago) Democrats, the ones are not in prison and the ones should be.
Just to name a few.
Dick Durbin (Democrat) has a record as one of the most liberal members of the United States Congress.
George Ryan (Republican) governor 1999 to 2003. Prison, Nov. 7, 2007.
Rod Blagojevich (Democrat) elected 2002, impeached, 2009, in prison starting March 2012.
Pat Quinn (Democrat) sworn in Jan. 29, 2009, to replace Blagojevich.
John J. Cullerton is the Democrat president of the Illinois Senate since 2009. He has been in the Senate since 1992, and before that, the House of Representatives since 1979.
Michael J. Madigan (Democrat), Speaker of the House. In Illinois House since 1971.
How much do you think that the recent income tax increase of 66 2/3 percent on the remaining taxpayers and the increase in corporate tax have influenced the unemployment rate?
I understand that U.S. Rep. Don Manzullo is not perfect, and I have told him so many times in the past, but he sure beats the other Illinois (mostly Democrat) politicians listed above. The United States government doesn't control the politics here in Illinois; the crooks listed above and Chicago do.
Illinois is the brunt of all the negative jokes around the world (license plates). Why would any company move to Illinois or invest any more money here? Without making it easier for corporations to move here or lowering corporate taxes and making this a Right To Work state, Illinois is the second-most undesirable state in the United States, and that is a crying shame. By the way, California is the most undesirable.
James C. Davis is a resident of Byron.
From the Feb. 8-14, 2012, issue

I agree with the substance of the letter, but think we are spending way too much time with the High School Civics lesson.
The bottom line as far as I am concerned is the leftist-liberal belief that wealth should be transferred in increasing amounts to fund these social services.
With the unchecked illegal immigration of mostly poor Mexican and Central Americans, the United States is well on it's way to becoming a third world country. We simply cannot afford to feed and educate all of the worlds poor. Today, somewhere around 50% of the population does NOT pay any tax.
We, the baby boomers and our idiot off-spring have almost destroyed our country in one generation.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes and ran for 188 yards and another score and Allen defended its Class 5A Division I championship with a 63-28 victory over Pearland on Saturday.
Allen scored the most points by a champion in the state's highest classification in front of the biggest title game crowd in Texas history - 54,347 at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The No. 1 team in the final Associated Press poll won its 27th straight game a week after a semifinal victory against DeSoto, the second-ranked team at the end of the regular season.
It was the third state title in three trips to the championship game for Allen (16-0), all in the past six years.
Connor Heath was 16 of 31 for 110 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for Pearland (14-2).

[split]Photons and MASS in calculations...Split from CO2 home experiment thread.
07-25-2011, 11:51 AM (This post was last modified: 07-25-2011 11:54 AM by Richard111.)
Post: #11
RE: [split]Photons and MASS in calculations...Split from CO2 home experiment thread.
Derek, I wonder if we are talking at cross purposes here. Emissivity and evaporation are two entirely separate functions. Seawater radiates at better than 0.99 at around 11 microns.
I found that pic HERE.
You can sea that seawater radiates nicely into the 10 micron window to space. It is almost pure blackbody radiation!
I picked 1mm of evaporation over 12 hours because as I explained I had read that the DAILY GLOBAL AVERAGE EVAPORATION RATE WAS 2mm. but I am well aware that evaporation rates can change hugely with changeing air humidity as well as water temperature and air temperature and down welling IR radiation. I doubt there is any computer program in the world that can calculate the total evaporation rate with all those variables changeing in a chaotic fashion.
So as far as I can see the only way to establish if energy loss from the ocean by EVAPORATION can ever exceed energy loss by RADIATION is to pick an average sea surface temperature. Calculate the radiation flux in joules from a finite area and divide by 2,270 kJ to find how many kilograms of water would have to evaporate.
Thus 15,552,000 joules divided by 2,270,000 joules gives us 6.85 kilograms of water from 1 square metre tells us 6.85 millimetres of water would have had to vaporise just to equal the energy loss from radiation.
Not that I believe anything I have said above is cast in concrete as there are far too many variables to allow such simple calculation. For example down welling IR radiation WARMS the first millimetre of water and encourages evaporation which COOLS the surface water. The amounts vary depending on the INTENSITY of the incoming radiation (think sunny day/clear night) and the temperature of the water and the temperature of the air and the speed of the wind over the surface.
Nothing is as simple as it seems.
Environmentalism is based on lies and the lies reflect an agenda that regards humanity as the enemy of the Earth. - Alan Caruba

Alliums are a'poppin! The Golden Globes ceremony is now beginning and wow what stars. Literally. Peering in more closely you will see tiny, star-like flowers neatly fitting into a perfect spherical globe.
On the velvet carpet the vigorous, five foot tall 'Gladiator' strides by with 'Giganteum' whose flower is bigger but whose height shorter. 'Purple Sensation' was given an Award of Garden Merit while 'Mt. Everest' and 'Star of Persia' watched by patiently.
These purple, pink and white architectural creatures will soon stand out in the garden like sentries. Like sentries they should keep the deer at bay. How far? I don't know.

Yesterday afternoon, The League star Katie Aselton (@duplaselton) tweeted that "the song 'emmylou' by first aid kit makes me all smushy and romantic. you know, in case u were wondering." Being fans of Mrs. Aselton, we immediately sought out the song and, well, we owe her a debt of gratitude for calling our attention to this instant classic.
Somehow, we had missed the January release of First Aid Kit's new album, The Lion's Roar. The Swedish folk duo made up of sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg (age 21 and 18, respectively) have scored great reviews for their sophomore LP, including a 7.6 from the notoriously persnickety folks at Pitchfork. That album's lead single, "Emmylou", is a bittersweet, slide-guitar driven slice of Americana, one that envelops you upon your first listen and feels instantly familiar. The song's refrain of "I'll be your Emmylou/And I'll be your June/And you'll be my Gram/And my Johnny, too" evokes a particularly warm sense of romance and nostalgia with its references to timeless American musical couples, and also features the most exquisite harmonizing that we've heard in some time. And the video, which was shot during magic hour conditions in California's famed Joshua Tree national park and is steeped with Native American mysticism, is quite perfect, too. Try this song on for size and let us know if it doesn't make you feel like you just curled up on the couch underneath your favorite warm blanket.

Recently, Senator Lindsay Graham of SC called President Putin a "KGB Colonel." Graham's sidekick John McCain went farther, stating that Russia was "not a country, but a gas station." At the same time, President Obama scolded Russia once again for oppressing "our gay brothers and sisters." This trio of leaders to the Russians now personify "Russian diplomacy." With regard to Senator Graham's charge, it is well known that Putin began in the KGB, but what the American news media does not state is that he rose to prominence by foiling the attempted KGB "coup" against President Gorbachev in 1991 when he was Deputy Mayor of Leningrad—now St. Petersburg. When he was later ordered by KGB ringleaders to support a return to communism, Putin told them, as they came to Russia's second largest city, he would have them arrested. Like him or not, Putin is a man of courage and independence, not a "KGB colonel" or "gas station attendant" in the words of Graham and McCain.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in February, which many Americans saw on television. To begin, the news media preceded its Olympic predictions with wild tales of terrorist threats. I personally think this had more to do with Russia's law against homosexual solicitation of teenagers and children than it did with terrorism. The closest comparison I saw to terrorists were members of the female "rock" band Pussy Riot; imitating terrorists, they appeared in ski masks and were promptly arrested. Pussy Riot had been arrested earlier for having lesbian sex on a church altar in Moscow. In sympathy, Obama sent as leaders of the American delegation to Sochi homosexual, lesbian, and bisexual athletes. The US news media also forgot to mention that Pussy Riot had previously made its debut at Russia's National Museum of Biology, or the Russian equivalent of our Smithsonian, in Moscow by having group sex in front of school children. What I observed in Sochi were thousands of healthy, happy Russian families who were very proud of their country. Since emerging from the dark night of communism, the Russians have restored as their national symbol the image of St. George on horseback slaying the dragon, an ancient Christian symbol. In large part, Orthodox Christianity has replaced communism. After 12 weeks, abortion is illegal. Having children is promoted by the government. And while there are homosexuals in Russia, they are left alone. However, they are not recruited and rewarded with "same sex partner benefits." As in the US military, homosexual marriage is illegal. Nor is homosexuality promoted among children and teenagers as a viable lifestyle. You need not agree with these policies to understand why many Russians see Americans as the dragon and Russia as St. George.
These policies do not even touch upon the current American stance against the Russians in the Crimea. Crimea—which is two-thirds Russian—belonged to Russia for hundreds of years before a Soviet dictator took it away from them in 1954 and gave it to Ukraine. Crimea has as much right to leave Ukraine as Texas did to leave Mexico in 1836 and the American colonies possessed to leave Britain in 1776.
What our news media does not report is that the US government—led on by Senators Graham and McCain and with President Obama's approval—spent billions of our taxpayer dollars to overthrow the existing government in Ukraine. One of the new regime's first acts was to outlaw Russian as an official language. Is it any surprise that the Russians in Crimea wanted out and that Russia offered them an exit? Already, the US Congress is sending billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, which will likely be used to pay the Russians the gas bill they owe to them. Maybe it is time for Americans to leave Ukraine, Crimea, and Russia alone in order to restore constitutional government in our own country.

Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession CampThe Foundation for Accounting Education of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) will partner with the State University of New York at Albany to offer the Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP) program to about 20 area minority high school juniors each summer. COAP educates minority high school students on the many facets of the accounting profession and builds skills to help them succeed in college and the business world. Albany students have toured Pricewaterhouse Coopers and participated in a panel discussion about accounting. Albany business professionals lead sessions on interviewing and networking skills, and students learn to craft an effective resume. Historically, minorities have been underrepresented in the accounting profession, and the COAP program aims to increase diversity. Almost 100% of COAP participants have gone on to college and 70% are majoring or enrolled in accounting or business programs. Contact: Ingrid Fisher

Shia LaBeouf might not get an Oscar for taking LSD for his role in the upcoming film The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, but he might get us to consider buying a ticket. "I'd never done acid before. I remember sending Evan tapes. I remember trying to conjure this and sending tapes. And Evan being like 'That's good, but that's not but, that is,'" LaBeouf told MTV about dropping acid to prepare for his character's drug trip. "You reach out to friends and gauge where you're at. I was sending tapes around and I'd get 50 percents from people and that just starts creeping me out. I was getting really nervous toward the end. Not cause I wanted to be on drugs — I'm not trying to mess with the set or anything like that. It's really just fear that propels people." Maybe it was fear, but we're betting Oscar gold played at least a tiny part in the other extreme things actors have done for roles…
10) James Franco, Unspecified Movie
You didn't think we would have forgotten that time James Franco watched a gay prostitute entertain a client to prepare for a role as a gay sex worker, did you? The fact he told James Lipton about it on Inside The Actor's Studio is the one thing we still like about that guy!
9) Joaquin Phoenix, I'm Still Here (2010)
The Master actor grew out his beard, acting crazy on Letterman and basically committed to pretending his life was falling apart in order to film a faux documentary about his downward spiral. It didn't exactly "work" per say, but we appreciate the lengths he went to in order to almost pull it off.
7) Adrien Brody, The Pianist (2002) and The Jacket (2005)
In addition to learning to play Chopin and dropping down to 130 lbs to play a Holocaust victim Wladyslaw Szpilman in The Pianist, Brody spent hours in a sensory deprivation tank to prepare for the horrors of The Jacket. All of which makes us so, so bummed to see that he is in that InAPPropriate Comedy.
6) Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight (2008)
Heath Ledger deeply immersed himself in the role of the Joker in The Dark Knight. "I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices — it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath — someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He's just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown," he told Empire Magazine. Anyone who has seen the movie knows why Ledger got that posthumous Oscar.
5) Natalie Portman, Black Swan (2010)
Everyone made a big deal about how much weight Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis lost to play dueling ballerina in the 2010 horror movie. How about the fact Natalie Portman allegedly learned to be a professional dancer in less than 12 months? Especially when she probably hungry all the time?
4) Christian Bale, The Machinist (2010)
Oh, Christian Bale lost approximately 63 lbs to play the emaciated protagonist in The Machinist. No big whoop.
3) Daniel Day-Lewis, My Left Foot (1989)
Before he became Lincoln, the actor played Christy Brown, a writer born with cerebral palsy and limited to the use of his left foot. So just to clarify: Day-Lewis earned a Best Actor Oscar for his role using only his left foot the entire movie, not to mention his confinement to a wheelchair during the entire shooting of the movie.
2) Robert De Niro, Cape Fear (1991)
We loved him as Bradley Cooper's neurotic bookie dad in The Silver Linings Playbook, and he didn't even have to file down his teeth like he allegedly did to play the ex-convince villain Max Cady in Cape Fear.
1) Chloe Sevigny, Brown Bunny (2003)
While the kids might know her as American Horror Story: Asylum's resident nymphomaniac Shelly, the Big Love actress took her method acting to the extreme by performing oral sex on Vincent Gallo in Brown Bunny. The movie was terrible, but Chloe's dedication deserves an award of some kind.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
August 11, 2011
The USF School of Law welcomes University of Luxembourg student Christian Junck and City University of Hong Kong student Yuli Yan this month. Junck and Yan are the first international students attending USF through the law school's new Student Exchange program.
The program, which brings international students to USF and offers USF students the opportunity to study in China, Luxembourg, and Spain for one semester, began in 2010. Three USF students studied abroad at the University of Luxembourg or City University of Hong Kong through the program last year. Graham Douds 2L will study in Hong Kong and Kate Emminger 3L and Jessica Watson 3L will study at the University of Deusto in Spain this semester.
"The purpose of the semester abroad program is to train lawyers to practice international law with a deep understanding of the dynamics and underlying legal culture of the foreign legal systems in which they will represent clients," said Professor Dolores Donovan, who oversees the program.
USF students who attend the University of Deusto, which was founded in Bilbao, Spain, in 1886, study international trade, the judicial system in the European Union, European competition law, and arbitration methods for solving conflicts in the E.U.
In Luxembourg, students have the opportunity to study law in an international finance epicenter that houses several European institutions, including the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank. The University of Luxembourg, which was established in 2003, is the first and only university of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Students at the City University of Hong Kong gain a uniquely objective perspective on China's legal system as they are in a city connected to yet separate from the mainland due to its British legal heritage, Donovan said. The school was founded in 1987 and offers courses in Chinese and comparative law, international economic law, common law, and arbitration and dispute resolution.
"For students interested in international law, commercial or investment arbitration, Hong Kong or China Law, City U offers an invaluable experience," said Michael Dundas '11, who attended the City University of Hong Kong in 2010. "The professors are experts in their respective fields and are focused on setting and achieving teaching goals."

text: "Confessions of a Chevy Volt Owner." A surprising, frank interview with an owner of a Volt after one year of driving. 203 miles per gallon in the first year at 16,000 miles. Not a typo. His previous car, a Volvo, got 18 miles per gallon. "I wish I bought the car. I absolutely love it." He leased it because he was skeptical of owning it. But, wishes he bought it. "I didn't buy it to save money." The biggest surprise here. He bought it to help eliminate the need for oil. "My home electricity bill is about the same as when my daughter lived here in high school." After a year of plugging it in to his home, his electricity bill remains the same and didn't go up as expected. He responds to the common criticism, "The Chevy Cruze is cheaper.""Well, a bicycle is even cheaper and saves more gas than the Cruze. So is a used car. So is walking. Look, this isn't about money, it's about oil." http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2012/02/28/n_chevrolet_volt_owner.cnnmoney/

chocolate wafer cookies, crushed

large marshmallows
1/4 cup
creme de menthe liqueur
2 tablespoons
white creme de cacao
1 cup
whipping cream, whipped
1 cup
whipped cream for garnish
Very, very good. I used a pre-made chocolate crust to save on time. Next time, I would add a wee bit less of the creme de menthe. I used regular (brown) creme de coco b/c I didn't have white, and it was fine -- did not turn the pie brown, just intensified the green. I also bought chocolate covered/candy-shelled mints, chopped them up, and sprinkled them on the top. Yum! Everyone loved it.
My boyfriend and I didn't like this at all. It tasted very boozy, even medicinal.

This Recipe is Great!
Some variations that I made: I used oreo cookies, chopped in a food processor for the crust. I also put them into muffin tins instead of making it a pie. I also topped each individual "pie" with chopped ande's mints.
Hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I did (and my coworkers).
I made this a few days ago for my boyfriend because this one restaurant in town makes it and he loves it. Everything turned out alright, except I had a hard time getting the whipping cream to whip (sans electric mixer) so I went and bought some whipped cream and that worked fine. If you do that, I would probably suggest adding more than the 1 cup they have for the recipe. The 1/4 cup cream de menthe wasn't overly powering. On some pieces I could taste it more than others, but I'd stick with the 1/4 cup. Other than that, it turned out well! I also used a pre-made Oreo pie crust, so good!
I added a layer of mint chocolate chip ice cream to the top and sprinkled with broken andes mints. It was wonderful!
Made the recipe exactly as originally written. The only thing I added: before freezing, I pushed whole Oreos into the top and made a pretty design. I just wanted to use the extra cookies left over from the crust...and I think it did a nice job of adding a bit more chocolate flavor.
This was absolutely delicious and so easy to make. You can even buy a chocolate graham cracker crust to make it even easier!
Excellent pie, like my aunt used to make for Thanksgiving every year. If the liquor taste is a bit strong, you can add the creme de menthe to the marshmallow/milk mixture as it heats to cook off a bit of the alcohol. Thanks for a great recipe!

Disney's American Movie Poster For Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo
Posted on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Disney has released the theatrical poster for the American release of Legendary Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's latest movie Ponyo (retitled for the domestic release). The film was released last July in Japan, and has since grossed over ¥15.0 billion ($153.1 million). Head on over to AICN to see the poster in high resolution. I love the bright blue color, and the logo looks like something branded by Pixar.
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid, the film tells the story of a baby goldfish named Ponyo (voiced by Noah Cyrus) who desires to be a human, and gets her wish. She runs away from her home in the sea and befriends a five-year-old human boy named Sosuke (Frankie Jonas). Other cast members include Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cloris Leachman, Liam Neeson, Lily Tomlin and Betty White. Ponyo will hit theaters on August 14th 2009.

The Atlantic coastal has magnificent beaches of fane white sand, inside of the reserve lies Lake Eliwawanyé, and in the south the valleys are crossed by rivers and Ouango Ogooué. We can see magnificent scenery, natural amphitheatres – or cirques – rare in Central Africa, created by erosion of white clay and red clay . A dense humid forest covers about two thirds of the territory, the rest is savanach, mangrove forest and wetland vegetation. The animals are protected against poaching, so there are many elephants, buffalo, lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, mangabey, colobus monkeys, panthers, sitatungas, antelope, , red river hogs and numerous birds on the edge of the reserve and turtles laying their eggs on the beach.

Taylor Lautner Barely Looks Like His 13-Year-Old Self: See Him Then and Now! (PHOTO)
These days, it's hard to believe that Taylor Lautner — pictured here at the LA premiere of Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 in November 2012 — was once a precocious 13-year-old breaking into showbiz with small roles on The Bernie Mac Show and Summerland. But the proof is in the photographic pudding.
In honor of T.Laut's 21st birthday today, February 11, we dug up a photo of the Twilight star at a movie premiere back in 2005.

TAMA, TEXAS. Tama was fifteen miles south of Gatesville in south central Coryell County. It was bounded on the south by Cowhouse Creek, on the west by Browns Creek, and on the northeast by Henson Mountain and was named for Tama Alexander, daughter of Anzie P. Alexander, the first postmaster. The post office was opened in 1900; later postmasters were Thomas L. Beall, W. R. Carroll, and John Brashear. Mail service was discontinued in 1918 and rerouted through Gatesville. Tama had a gin, a general store, and a church. Maples School served the community. A volcanic pipe ran through one of the hills in nearby Egypt Hollow. In 1940 Tama's population was twenty-five. Fort Hood took in the townsite in 1942.

Sen. Harry Reid's debt reduction plan – endorsed by President Obama last night – includes $1 trillion in "spending cuts" from the planned drawdown of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's more than a third of his entire $2.7 trillion proposed savings.
Needless to say, the ratings agencies aren't delighted by the proposal to count war savings – which were already expected to happen anyway – as spending cuts. Goldman Sachs circled a memo yesterday warning that the war savings plan could lead to a credit downgrade:
Nearly half of the deficit reduction in Reid's plan would come from phantom war savings, according to the Goldman memo.
"The (withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan) would show up in official budget estimates as savings of about $1.2 trillion versus current law," the memo reads. "If this proposal were to prevail without a credible follow-on process, a ratings downgrade could ensue, since against most outside baseline budget estimates only the first portion of spending cuts, and not the war spending savings, would show up as deficit reduction."
Democrats have countered that the Republican-supported Rep. Paul Ryan budget plan also included these so-called war savings. But as Phil Klein notes in the Washington Examiner, "the reality is more complicated." Because there are varying estimates of what spending levels would look like if they continued unaltered, Ryan's plan apparently included comparisons of these different baselines. One of the estimates he used was a Congressional Budget Office projection that included war savings.
Phil spoke with Ryan's communications director Conor Sweeney, who ripped apart the Reid-Ryan comparison:
The CBO current law baseline assumes surge-level spending in Iraq and Afghanistan is scheduled to continue over the next decade. We – most Americans and the credit markets – would think that is a flawed assumption. In the interest of transparency, the House-passed budget does include comparisons to the current law baseline — but we also note repeatedly and consistently the flaws in using this benchmark to exaggerate savings.
Moreover, Sweeney notes Ryan didn't count the $1 trillion as a spending cut. In contrast, it's the backbone of Reid's reduction plan.

Session YP8: Poster Session IX: Supplemental; Post-Deadline
9:30 AM–9:30 AM, Friday, November 2, 2012
Room: Hall BC
Abstract ID: BAPS.2012.DPP.YP8.30
Abstract: YP8.00030 : Discovery of Quantum structure and A Theory of Everything Part I and Part II
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Meggie Zhang
(Part I) During my research I discovered logical errors in the logic of science and in mathematics. These errors caused scientists missed out important information when interpreting data. This led me to revisit the method of science and the existing results and able to find new information, which lead to the discovery of photon's structure. A ``particle collision illumination'' experiment then provided direct evidence supported the structure. Analysis of the properties of the structure suggested an organized but not-continuous multi-dimension (n-D) space within. Therefore I formed a hypothesis of a not-continuous n-D space structure. In search for evidence, I turned into crystal technology, and found direct evidence supported the hypotesis, then further particle collision found more evidence support this finding. (Part II) Analysis of single electron buildup revealed star and galaxy formation is from a single particle following a predictable pattern. This pattern is also common in matter formation. Analysis of the quantum structure suggested the formation of a larger structure through the space expansion within the structure. Further experiment results support the finding and result revealed the expansion is through space folding. Result also suggested a violation of energy conservation law that energy is created during the formation of matter, and matter itself is moving from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. When putting all information together, I arrived to a theory of everything which gives explanations to all existing phenomenon in the universe including black hole, dark energy, star formation, consciousness.

Last week was Kelsey's spring break, so we decided to take a short trip to our favorite place, Savannah GA. I don't know what it is about that city that has me so enchanted, but my husband and I can never get enough. Luke, however, can definitely get enough. Let's just say our Savannah GA virtual tours weren't his cup o tea. He's more of a cars and dinosaurs kind of guy.
I"ve been begging Kelsey to go on a walking tour of the city for the past few trips, but they have always been during too hot or too cold times. We've done the trolley tours, and they are great, but I love being able to stroll down the shaded streets and soak in the history. We bought a book called Sojourn in Savannah by Kim Traub Ribbens that includes four walking tours and a map of the historic district. BEcause we had the toddler in tow, we choose one of the shorter walks. It gave me a chance to do my own little Savannah GA virtual tour on Instagram and Vine (an aside about Vine: I haven't figured out the best use of this platform until now; it's the perfect solution for when you need more than a picture, but less than a video.)
Our walk took us to Columbia Square.
There must have been a wedding here the day before because there were petals in the fountain. Luke enjoyed tossing the ones in the ground into the Columbia Square fountain. Note: this is as much fun as he had the whole time.
Next, we walked up State Street.
We saw the Kehoe House, a bed and breakfast (or maybe just a bed…) that only accepts peeps older than 21. Sorry, Luke.
On our Savannah GA Virtual Tour, we passed the Owens-Thomas House and this amazingly gorgeous garden. Why isn't this my life? I was born to be a person with a lux garden like this (and the kind of person who hires a gardener to tend to it.) (I currently do not employ anyone who tends to anything.)
At some point, we got to Oglethorpe Square.
And Reynolds Square!
And the Green-Meldrim House which is right next door to a lovely Southern courtyard beside St. John's Episcopal Church.
Later on our Savannah GA Virtual Tour, we took a quick drive down River Street:
And also got a quick shot of the Old Cotton Exchange, where gotten prices were set before the Civil War.
Of course, no Savannah GA Virtual Tour would be complete without a trip to our favorite place to eat, Moon River.
And some ice cream at Leopolds:
As usual, we didnt' have enough time and I'm itching to go back again.
Have you been to Savannah? What are your favorite places in the city?

Beats, Sobs and Leaves: They Will Be Red at the BT
They Will Be Red is a lesson in story-telling. Self-conscious in its narrative style, writer-director, Milja Fenger breaks the compositional rule, "Show, Don't Tell" by introducing an omniscient narrator, who holds up a critical and exacting lens to the characters of this bittersweet and thoughtful piece. The audience is taken by the hand by Nick Williams, the narrator and role-hopping pander, but there are few opportunities to break from his passionate grip, making the experience not completely unlike having the corresponding Cliff Notes companion open during the performance.
We meet Anna (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) at age nine, briefly follow her through her teens and twenties, and stay a longer spell with her quietly determined adult self – now an ecologist who buries her head in the foliage of dying ash trees to hide from her personal problems.
The start of the play aims at cultivating a playful atmosphere, as Richardson-Sellers dips her hands in pools of leaves and Williams teases the musician at the side of the stage, tentatively tapping the snare. It initially comes across as a little forced, but as the play continues, these actions become less self-conscious and more sophisticated in their usage, until they become cleverly ingrained habits and ticks. The same should be said of the writing, which starts with a slightly irritating demonstrative flourish, before gently settling into a more engaging and personal portrayal of a young woman 'finding herself.' (Thankfully, the narration is aware of the tropes associated with the coming-of-age tale, and it lovingly satirises the typical reception of a 'gap year' trip to India.)
With an excellent ear for dialogue, the snapshots that we are shown are realistic, inventive, and engaging. Williams shifts seamlessly between a host of distinct and identifiable characters. However, both actor and playwright avoid farce and caricature, whilst still presenting personalities and situations that feel unique to the story being told. In playing Mark (Anna's somewhat slimy boss), Williams is slightly farcical, but not totally unbelievable as a character – especially as so many of the people that we encounter (and would happily observe for 90 minutes) often do defy belief.
Richardson-Sellers is precise and careful in the eventual release of her character's emotional turmoil. Anna is no Mary-Sue, and, accordingly, Richardson-Sellers creates a protagonist that is patterned with a residue of understanding and misunderstanding. In this well-paced two-hander, Richardson-Sellers and Williams are a dream team. Between themselves, they bring out the lyrical harmonies of day-to-day dialogue. Combined with one-man-band in the corner of the stage, the musicality of production continually arrests and delights the ear.
The premise of They Will Be Red could very easily become trite and predictable, but Fenger's rendering of human interaction is clever and exacting. The framing device of the narrator gave a number of insightful twists to the story; however, the book-ending monologues are one of the play's more contrived aspects, and I expect that they will get a Marmite reception. Fundamentally, it is a play that is expertly constructed and well-acted, showing great promise in the cast and crew alike.
**** (4 Stars)
They Will Be Red will continue its run in the Burton Taylor Studio every night at 7:30pm up to and including Saturday the 2nd.

Hybrid cars combine the advantages of gasoline and electric powered vehicles. Plant and animal breeding produces new hybrids with favorable qualities. Revolutions of Geometry is a hybrid of geometry and history with unique advantages. The text is suited for junior and senior mathematics students and especially for prospective teachers who will not only become competent in, but also enjoy, the material.
Geometry here occurs in its historical context interacting with algebra, logic, and calculus rather than as a dry presentation of one sort of modern geometry. Because the focus is on geometry, there is time to include both copious historical background and interesting mathematical derivations with numerous excellent exercises. A history of mathematics covering the whole spectrum of mathematics cannot go into as much mathematical detail which is appropriate if the emphasis is on the history but not if one desires a mathematical emphasis.
The text divides into five parts: Foundations, The Golden Age, Enlightenment, A New Strange World, and New Directions. The foundations go back to the area and volume problems from Egypt and include Babylon and China. The chapter on Thales contains sections on deductive logic and proof writing which will be helpful to the intended audience as will the sections on categorical propositions and categorical syllogisms in the Plato and Aristotle chapter.
The Golden Age comprises Pythagoras, Euclid, and Archimedes. Notably, the method of exhaustion has a careful explanation and treatment of Archimedes' measurement of a circle and estimate of π as well as of his method applied to calculating volumes. The Enlightenment covers Viète, Descartes, and Desargues. Throughout the text problems come from original sources. For example, the illustration for Descartes' solution of the four-line Pappus problem does not have the Cartesian coordinates he is noted for today. The idea is there but the form is different.
A Strange New World covers the non-Euclidean geometry of Saccheri, Lambert, Lobachevski and Bolyai. New Directions includes Riemann, Poncelet, and Felix Klein and concludes with Hilbert and the consistency of Euclidean geometry. Prospective teachers and other mathematics students will learn much mathematics in a historical context that will make it much more meaningful.

By Spc. Gregory Argentieri, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
KUNAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan, Jan. 24, 2008 With Task Force Saber paratroopers acting as a continuing liaison with schools in Afghanistan's Kunar and Nuristan provinces, a partnership that began in May is helping educate Afghan children.
The partnership links children and schools in Afghanistan with children and schools primarily in the United States, Italy and Germany to provide Afghan children with pens, pencils, paper, chalk, notebooks and pen pals.
The paratroopers, from the 173rd Airborne Brigade's 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, provide updates to the partner schools on the progress of the Afghan children through pictures and letters.
"Being in the U.S., it is hard to visualize the lack of resources they have here," said Army Capt. Jay S. VanDenbos, 30, from Tahlequah, Okla., assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1st Battalion, 91st Cavalry. "Ninety percent of the schools are open-air schools, which are sometimes a tarp and a dirt floor. They'll have a rock that they use as a chalk board, and kids sit underneath the tarp and learn."
VanDenbos said Afghan children are eager for education. "They yearn for knowledge," he said. "Any time anyone goes on patrols, the kids are screaming to 'Give me pen; give me pen.' They don't have anything they can use to learn."
The partnership program is important because the Afghans don't have money, said Army Staff Sgt. Larry D. Gormley, 39, from Livermore, Calif., assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1-91st Cavalry. "An American school sending them paper, pens and pencils is helping to educate the Afghan people," he said. "And educated people are not the kind of people that strap a bomb to themselves and go and try to blow somebody up."
The benefit of the partnership between the schools goes both ways.
"For the American kids, it gives them a little bit of cultural awareness of the rest of the world," Gormley said. "I think the mission is great. Kids are getting school supplies, and it's improving their level of education."
Afghan teachers, who have seen their facilities destroyed over the years, are firmly behind the program and appreciate the benefits of it.
"Coalition forces are always giving school supplies to the students, and I support the coalition forces for helping the children," said Pacha Gul Aulfat, 36, an Afghan teacher. "It makes me really angry that we do not have school buildings, but coalition forces are building schools for us.
"Most of the past generations are uneducated, but my plan for the future is to teach," Aulfat continued. "I will provide the students of the next generation with an education. Now is a time for education, and all of our attention must be given to education."
The program benefits children like 10-year-old Ibrahim, who lives nearby and is spending his winter break learning English from a cook at Forward Operating Base Naray. Ibrahim said he likes school and has very good teachers. He has been attending school for only a year, but proudly says that he passed his year-end exams and will advance to the next level when school resumes.
"Whenever I get an education in the future, I would like to become a doctor or engineer," Ibrahim said. "Whenever I grow up and I become older and older, I would like to serve my country. I love my people, and this is my mission, to complete my education and serve the people of my own country."

Moseley, San Francisco, Calif., assignor to Motodent Ine., Los Angeles, Calif., a omiten of California application December 1s, 1937, serial No. 119,427
I in appearance, simple and compact in construction and may be safely employed to emciently cleanse teeth in the human mouth.
In actual practice I employ an electrical vibratory motor which is entirely enclosed within a moisture-prooi casing of molded dielectric material of pleasing external design, and of a shape that it may be readily grasped in the hand of the user. Detachably connected with this casing is a projecting arm carrying an oscillatory brushing element so mechanically connected with the motor that operation oi the latter will rapidly oscillate the brushing element. This brushing element is readily replaceable so that it may be replaced as desired. i
One form which the invention may assume is exemplified in the following description and illustrated by way oi' example in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspectiveview of my improved toothbrush with one-haii' of the casing removed showing the internal construction thereof.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the toothbrush with onehalf oi the casing removed and with the brush arm in longitudinal section.
. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line III- III oi' Fig. 2.
111g. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line IV-IV of Fig. 3.
Flg. 5 is a perspective view of the brush arm.
Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing. I0 indicates a toothbrush including a hollow casing II of dimensions and configuration that it may comfortably be grasped in the hand of the user. The casing II is centrally and longitudinally divided into two halves which are.
counter parts and which are secured together by screws or other suitable means. when joining the halves. moisture-prooi sealing material ls applied to their abutting faces to insure that the casing will be moisture-prooi. The casing II is preferably molded of Bakelite or other material having similar advantageous characteristics.
Disposed within the casing and secured therein is an electrical vibratory motor I2, the field winding Il of which is firmly fastened Inoue-half of the casing as illustrated in Fig. 2. Y The current conductors I 5 for the motor are led in through one (ci. ls-zs) end of the casing in a moisture-proof manner as illustrated. For this purpose a bushing I 5a of dielectric material is sealed in an end' aperturez Iib in the casing.
Projecting from the end of the casing II, opposite that in which the current conductors i5 are led, is a hollow metallic i'errule I6 which is square in cross section and having a square opening extending longitudinally therethrough. The inner end of this ferrule I6 nests in a square opening molded in the ends of the two casing halves as illustrated. 'I'he inner end of the ferrule IB is provided with a circumscribing ilange Il iltting a groove in the casing halves II so as to iirmly hold the ferrule I6 against endwise movement.
Reciprocably mounted in the ferrule I6 is a rack I8 likewise squarein cross section and snugly, although slidably, fitting the square bore through the ferrule I6. The inner end of the rack Il projects into the casing II and is secured to the armature I9 oi the motor I2. The armature I! is spring balanced by springs 20 for obvious reasons. The outex` endo-f the ck I8 projects from w the outer end oi the ierrule I6 and is formed with rack teeth 2l 4on one side. A brush arm 22 is provided which is formed with a square longitudinal bore 23 slidably fitting over the ferrule I6 so that its inner end will abut against the adjacent end of the casing II. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, suitable interrupting means, not shown, may be operated by the reciprocating parts to break the iield circuit periodically and adapt the device to a current supply of the customary domestic type.
The bore oi the ferrule is formed with a keyway 23a adapted to receive a protuberance or key 24 xed on one side of the ferrule Ii so that the brush arm 22 can only properly ilt on the ierrule in one position.
'Ihe outer end of the brush arm 22 is formed with a circular hollow socket 25, the center of which is perpendicular to the bore 23 and slightly spaced from one side thereof so that the bore 23 extends substantially tangentially from the socket 25. 'Ihe toothed end 2I of the rack Il extends tangentially into the socket 25 to mesh with a pinion 2l formed on a disk-like bristle holder 21 which is rotatably mounted in the socket concentrically thereof. It will be seen that at the outer end oi the socket is an annular ilange 21a within which the disk-like bristle holder 21 is journalled.
The pinion 26 abuts against the inner end of the socket and the inner face of the disk-like bristle holder 2l abuts against the outer end o! the socket. A pintle 2l is provided which is seon the bristle holder 21, that the fastener 29 will the button 32.
4Q associated with a movable switch arm 3| of aV cured at its inner end in the inner end of the socket and projects outwardly to rotatably receive the bristle holder 21, and acts as a shaft therefor. A snap fastener 25 is secured in the bristle holder 21 which snaps over the outer end of the pintle 28 to hold -the bristle holder in its proper position relative to the socket 25. It is obvious that by merely exerting an outward pull release from the pintle 23 so as to enable the bristle holder to be replaced at will.
To secure the brush arm in position on the ferrule I5, I provide a thumb screw 30 which is threaded through the wall of the arm 22 to engage the ierrule i6 and secure the brush arm thereon. By loosening this screw, the brush arm may "ce moved endwise off of the ierrule and replaced by another arm, ii desired. I plate providing more than one arm for each body casing, giving the arms different numbers orotherwise identifying them so that for one family merely one body ii may be provided with a different arm or bristle holder for each member oi` the family. It is obvious that it is only necessary to slip the arm over the ferrule and tighten the thumb screw to assemble it for use. As the toothed end of the rack engages the pinion 2S, the latter will merely revolve into mesh with the rack, and as the arm will only go on the ferrule in proper position, due to the provision of the keyway 23a. and the protuberance 26, there is no possibility of improperly assembling the brush arm on the body. A
To start the motor I have provided a switch 3l consisting of a button 32 secured to a ilexible diaphragm 33 embedded at its periphery in the body il and sealed therein so that moisture cannot possibly gain entrance into the body through The inner end of the button is normally opened switch 35. The other contact oi this switch is that indicated by 36, both the contacts fand SG-being resiliently mounted in the body as indicated. It is obvious that by depressing the button inwardly with respect to the body, that a contact will bemade between the points on the arms 34 and 26, completing a circuit through the motor, causing the same to commence reciprocating the armature i9. As this latter is spring balanced, it will be very silent and very rapid in operation, and as it reciprocates, it will reciprocate the rack I8 and thereby oscillate the brush holder 21. As this brushing element 21 has .bristles 21a projecting from one end thereoi', a very effective and desirable brushing action will be obtained on the teeth.
From the foregoing it is obvious that I have provided a very enlcient and effective toothbrush which is electrically operated and which is pleasing in appearance, and while I have shown the preferred form-of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes may be made in its construction by those skilled in the art without departing from the,spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention. what I claim and desire tol secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the characterV described comprising a hollow body, a guide sleeve projecting outwardly from said body, a vibratory motor mounted in the body, a reciprocable member exi contemtending through said sleeve and guided for straight line reciprocation therein and into one end of the body, said member being operatively associated with the motor in such manner that operation of the motor will reciprocate said member, a hollow brush arm adapted to be slipped over said sleeve and the outer end oi said reciprocable member to enclose the same and be detachably secured to said sleeve, a brush element rotatably mounted on its own axis at the outer end of said arm, a pinion secured to said brush element, a rack connected with said reciprocable member in mesh with said pinion whereby reciprocation of said member will oscillate said brush element.

Withdrawn Cases Still Achieve Goals

In this story Craig Anderson gives reasons why withdrawing the spying case against some Hewlett-Packard employees including Patricia Dunn was not merely an exercise in futility. He says it serves the purpose of keeping similar things from happening again in other companies. He gives emphasis to his own words by quoting Professor Rhode:
Deborah Rhode, a Stanford Law School professor and expert on legal ethics who has followed the matter, said she is pleased with the outcome.
"I think a lot of people viewed the criminal penalties as a stretch," she said. "Consciousness has been raised about these issues. From an ethics point of view, this is an ideal ending to the Hewlett-Packard debacle."
