Shannon Yelland, January 26, 2010
In a few weeks, some Activators (Trent, Sridhar and Mike) will be leaving Vancouver and all its Olympic buzz to go to one of the best conferences for Python coding. It is called PyCon 2010 and it is in Atlanta, Georgia from February 17-25, 2010 (main conference days are Feb 19-21).
You may ask if the guys here are sad leaving Vancouver, BC during the Olympics. But I would have to answer "no way!". They are stoked about all the great tracks at PyCon and shared their favorites below.
Oh ya, if you are going to PyCon, make sure you stop by ActiveState's booth (booth #107) and meet the ActiveState gang. (Psst..There is a special coupon code for PyCon attendees - $50 off Komodo IDE, use code "pycon50")
On Twitter? We started a Twitter list for all people attending or talking about PyCon - feel free to follow it to keep up on what is happening during the conference: http://twitter.com/activestate/pycon-2010.
Out of the ninety-five plus topics for the 3 days - here are the gangs twenty-nine favorite picks for PyCon:
Friday Feb 19:
- IronPython Tooling (# 67 with Dino E Viehland) - One of the most popular requests for the IronPython team is tooling support. During this talk I'll show you some of the existing tools available to help create IronPython applications. I'll also look at the latest IronPython features which can help you debug, profile and improve your applications. I'll also compare and contrast these with the solutions available for CPython that you may already be familiar with.
- A Short Pinax Tutorial (#15 with with Daniel Greenfeld) - Pinax (http://pinaxproject.com) is a platform built on top of Django (http://www.djangoproject.com/) for rapidly developing websites. This tutorial will show you how to install Pinax, create a project, work with a Group application and a Group Aware application, and finally how easy it is to modify templates.
- Deployment, development, packaging, and a little bit of the cloud (#180 with Ian Bicking) - In this opinionated talk Ian will discuss his thoughts on packaging, web application deployment, configuration, tools to manage environments across both development and production, the tensions between Linux packaging and Python packaging, just a *little* about virtualenv, pip, buildout, and Distribute, and a bit more about a new tool toppcloud, and the modest but important role cloud computing has in this process.
- The state of Packaging (#63 with with Tarek Ziadé) - The Python Package Index (PyPI) became over the last years an essential tool to share your Python programs. As long as you use Distutils standards, you can register and upload your work at PyPI in a few seconds. This talk will detail the biggest issues that need to be solved, and the work that is being done. It will end up with a presentation of the Distutils roadmap, and an overview of the Distribute project, the Setuptools replacer.
- How does Enthought distribute packages? (#108 with Dr. Ilan Schnell) - This presentation gives an overview of how packages are build and distributed for different operating systems in the Enthought Python Distribution.
- Cross platform application development and distribution (#116 with Mr. Stani Michiels, Ms. Nadia Alramli) - You think Python gives you native cross platform applications for free? Think twice. Are you interested in distributing your application to other platforms but not sure how?
- Powerful Pythonic Patterns, Alex Martelli (#186 with Alex Martelli) - In this talk, I analyze some of my favorite pattern families -- e.g., Template Method and its variants, Dependency Injection and its ilk, Callback and friends -- in a highly Pythonic context. Non-pattern Idioms, and Patterns that aren't really Design Patterns but rather Architecture or Methodology ones, also make cameo appearances.
- Python in quantitative finance (#158 with with Wes McKinney) - This talk will show how Python and libraries such as NumPy were instrumental at AQR for building a robust research platform for prototyping and implementing quantitative trading models. We will discuss many different tools, including pandas, a new open source library designed for analyzing common financial and economic data sets.
- How Are Large Applications Embedding Python? (#6 with with Peter Shinners) - An examination of the ways Python is being embedded and deployed in the large applications used for computer graphics; like Renderman, Maya, Houdini, and Nuke.
- Using Django in Non-Standard Ways (#135 with with Mr. Eric Florenzano)- If you've been using Django for any amount of time, you've probably learned some pretty standard practices on how to use it. This talk aims to shatter those conceptions and teach you alternative ways that you could use Django.
Saturday Feb 20:
- Demystifying Non-Blocking and Asynchronous I/O (#164 with Peter A Portante) - We will first define what blocking, non-blocking, synchronous and asynchronous I/O are under the POSIX interfaces. We'll cover how and when these four types of I/O should be used, and their individual effects on a Python based application. The notion of concurrency will be discussed by comparing a simple threaded blocking I/O application to a simple single threaded non-blocking I/O application by walking the attendees through the python code for those applications.
- Cooperative Multitasking with Twisted: Getting Things Done Concurrently. (#11 with David A Reid) - Twisted is a framework for building asynchronous networking applications. It also provides powerful tools for writing non-blocking non-network code, tools which are vital for building real large scale applications in Twisted. I hope to give a comprehensive overview of these tools to help the intermediate Twisted user get things done concurrently.
- Distributed Programming with Pyro (#7 with Alfredo Deza) - Create distributed code that communicates trivially over the network with objects that answer as if they were local. Send, receive and manage data with this powerful library. Presentation will include real life example for restarting a load balanced web instance running two Apache web servers and a MySQL database. Although Python allows you to perform simple network operations, Pyro creates a nice layer between core networking essentials and your code, allowing you to concentrate more in developing your application.
- Unladen Swallow: fewer coconuts, faster Python (#73 with Collin Winter) - Unladen Swallow is a Google-sponsored optimization branch of CPython. This talk will cover Google's motivation for Unladen Swallow, the approach being taken, results so far, challenges faced, cancers cured and plans for merger with CPython.
- Understanding the Python GIL (#82 with David Beazley) - The Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is a frequent source of debate and concern for programmers working with threads and concurrency. Although most Python programmers generally know that the GIL restricts Python's ability to utilize multiple CPUs, few know the inner details of how it actually works and how it impacts applications. This talk will dive into the inner workings of the GIL like you've never seen before. Topics include details about the execution of the Python interpreter, thread implementation, the GILs surprising behavior on multicore CPUs, and more.
- The other kind of testing (#185 with Bob Ippolito) - Software testing helps verify that your code meets a specification, but not how to improve the specification. How can you stay competitive when most of the big names today are using analysis to guide product evolution? Level the playing field and make better products by learning how to design experiments, collect data, make measurements, and optimize your specifications.
- 508 and You: Taking the Pain out of Accessibility (#119 with Ms. Katie A Cunningham) - Thinking about scoring a government contract, but haven't heard of 508 compliance yet? Interested in making your site accessible to people with disabilities? Never thought about compliance, but want to know why it's a good idea?
- Powering the real-time web with Python: PubSubHubbub on App Engine (#173 with Brett Slatkin) - PubSubHubbub is an open protocol that turns Atom and RSS feeds into real-time streams. I built the reference Hub run by Google using Python and App Engine. In this talk you will learn how I made the real-time system work: An intro to the protocol, asynchronous processing on App Engine, fault-tolerance, and scalability.
- Threading is not a model (#187 with Joe Gregorio) - We have many concurrency/multiprocessing capabilities at our finger tips, such as threads, processes, locks, mutexes, select, epoll, transactional memory, etc. But none of them are a model for multiprocessing, they are only tools on which you would build an implementation of such a model. So what are the models we can choose from? How would they be implemented in Python? And why may the GIL actually be a good thing?
- Tests and Testability, Ned Batchelder (#188 with Ned Batchelder) - Testing software is difficult. Large complex systems don't lend themselves naturally to automated testing. This isn't just because they are large, it's because developers often don't consider how testable their code is. Testability is as important as all the other -ilities in your code (portability, maintainability, efficiency, etc). I'll discuss specific examples to demonstrate how code can be made more testable. Mocks, dependency injection, and crisp API design are just a few of the techniques that can improve your code's testability and make you a happier person.
- Why not run all your tests all the time? A study of continuous integration systems.(#160 with Dr. C. Titus Brown) - There are an increasing number of continuous integration (CI) systems available for use by Pythonistas, but no clear guide to how to choose a CI system for your project. I will examine the architecture choices made by buildbot, bitten, Hudson, continuum, CruiseControl, DART, and pony-build, and discuss the configuration and customization of several of these systems for Pythonic needs, as well as give short demos (for buildbot, bitten, Hudson, and pony-build).
- What We've Learned From Building Basie (#85 with Dr. Greg Wilson) - Since September 2008, teams of undergraduates from half a dozen different universities have been building a Django-based replacement for Trac called Basie. This talk will present what they've accomplished and discuss what we've learned about getting junior developers who are juggling half a dozen projects at once to build production-quality code.
Sunday Feb 21:
- Eventlet: Asynchronous I/O with a synchronous interface (#141 with Donovan Preston) - Network servers which scale to thousands of simultaneous connections have always been possible in Python thanks to libraries such as asyncore and twisted. More recently, FriendFeed's new open source project Tornado has stirred debate in this area. These libraries allow a Python process to scale to many simultaneous connections using non-blocking I/O (also known as asynchronous I/O). However these projects require that the programmer learn a custom API to abstract away the complexities of using a callback-style API.
- Scaling Python webapps from zero to 50 million users - A top-down approach. (#134 with Mr. Jinal Jhaveri )- LOLapps is one of the top providers of social games and user generated applications with 50+ million monthly uniques on Facebook, MySpace and Bebo. This session will focus on the top-down approach we took to scale our webapps for millions of users.
- New *and* Improved: Coming changes to unittest, the standard library test framework (#52 with Mr. Michael J Foord)- In Python 2.7 and 3.2 a whole bunch of improvements to unittest will arrive. unittest is the Python standard library testing framework and for several years it has languished whilst other Python testing frameworks have innovated. Some of the best innovations have made their way into unittest which has had quite a renovation. This talk will go through the major changes, like the new assert methods, test discovery and the load_tests protocol, and also explain how they can be used with earlier versions of Python.
- Modern version control: Mercurial internals (#113 with Dirkjan Ochtman) - In this talk, I'd like to talk a bit about Mercurial. This will not be a beginner-level talk on DVCS or hg; it aims to be a higher-level discussion of the concepts employed in Mercurial. After having discussed these, I'd also like to compare Mercurial and git based on UI, performance and underlying concepts.
- Hg and Git : Can't we all just get along? (#154 with Mr. Scott Chacon) - There is a fair amount of unnecessary animosity between developers about version control systems, especially between Mercurial and Git users. In reality, these two systems are very similar and can actually cooperate pretty well. In this talk we will show just how similar Git and Mercurial are, look at some of their technical differences, and see how they can work together by looking at hg-git, the bidirectional Git/Mercurial bridge, implemented in Python.
- PLY and PyParsing (#93 with Andrew Dalke) - Got a text parsing problem? In most cases using string manipulation and regular expressions will solve it for you. But when the input is complex, try reaching for a parsing system to help out. In my talk I'll show the basics of how to use both systems for several different format parsing tasks, of different complexity. This will let you see how to use the parsers and understand more of the tradeoffs between complexity, readability, error handling, and performance.

Update: I've done some work with tectonic plates. I think I've just about got it, but feel free to add any other tips if you have them!
This is my first serious attempt at map-making and I have run into a major roadblock. How do I decide where to put mountains? I attempted making a basic height map (for reference only) by putting things in random places, but I am unsatisfied with the result. There's no reason to it and it looks unnatural. Without a height map, I am unable to put lakes and rivers in proper places.
This is the map that I'll use for the final product:
And this is my reference elevation map:
*I only did the main continent, none of the islands are done
Other useful info:
--Using GIMP
--Land area is going to be 4,137,640 sq mi (a bit larger than Canada) on a planet that is a bit larger than Earth.
----Each pixel is 4 sq mi, 2 miles on each side
tl;dr version:
Where do I put mountains and other elevated land?
Update: I've done some work with tectonic plates. I think I've just about got it, but feel free to add any other tips if you have them!
I think most people haven't replied here because it's a pretty tough topic and most of us who've stumbled across your question don't really know enough to give you some sort of useful answer. I'd say you're on the right track giving thought to tectonic plates. You should probably also do as much reading on Orogeny as you can manage. Might be that through your learning you'll find something valuable to teach to the rest of us.
What scale is that map? That would be an important information before thinking about mountains and tectonics ...

Are You a Press or Are You a Library? An Interview with NYU's Monica McCormick
Submitted by Blake on March 28, 2012 - 7:22am
Are You a Press or Are You a Library? An Interview with NYU's Monica McCormick
This interview covers one example of the ways in which a university library and press are learning to negotiate this new publishing ecosystem together. I spoke with Monica McCormick (@moncia), who holds the interesting and unusual position of simultaneously working with both the NYU Press and the NYU Library in her position in the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing. In our conversation, we covered issues ranging from the relationship between the Press and the Library at NYU, her position on open access, and the important and undervalued work that editors continue to play in academia.

I've been on the mend from breaking my hip in April and have recently gotten back on the bike and riding on the street.
My riding style has been assertive, deliberate and very 'take the lane' for many years. I usually kept pace quite well with traffic and was quite adept at claiming lanes and make lefts on high speed roads.
Since returning to the bike two weeks ago (and riding with a crutch sticking out of pannier or saddlebag!) I am about half the speed I used to be while my muscles and leg sort out the recovery.
My observations:
Taking the lane, being traffic, and making lefts on high speed roads IS different when the bicyclists' speed is 7-10 MPH.
I've still riding quite vehicular but also find myself able to ride closer to the edge of the road at slower speeds in marginally wide lanes when I'm moving 8mph versus 24mph.

Comments On Jun 04, 2011:I was a bit hesitant to buy this tool after reading all the the bad reviews, but its only $15 so I went ahead and bought it.
My biggest concern was its overall ruggedness and it turned out to be at least as good as the other Leatherman-type tools. It will be used for trailside repairs and take the place of the pliers, cutters, and multi-bit screwdriver that was in my pack. The only issue is returning tools back to the closed position is a bit of a PITA but it does increase the ruggedness factor, so I can live with it.

Comments On Mar 13, 2010: looking and reading about the product seemed like a good purchase until i got it and started checkin it out!! JUNK!!!! you need a screw driver to get the tools out and fold it back up! if you need it in a hurry, you will most likely hour out! if you dont have a glove on and squeeze the plier it will hurt your hand! the sockets that go on it are ok as long as you dont need to get to a hard to reach area! out with the new and back to ol'trusty!

Comments On Apr 25, 2009:I have always wanted a multitool to carry with me on the trail and the ones I looked at elsewhere were expensive. I saw this moose multi tool and thought I would give it a try. Piece of crap! When you open a tool all the way (until it locks) you cannot easily close it again unless you have a screwdriver handy. I thought that this tool was great because it had a spring puller on it. I did not know that you are not supposed to use it! It snapped right when I used it to pull a spring from my exhaust. I will spend the money on a well known name brand next time.

you could also try bathing with them. get on ur bathing suit and sit in the tub with them and play as u wash them.they'll have mommy super close and with u in there the bath wont seem so big, ore baby bath size. making it fun really is the keyposted 07/26/2012 by BabyLucian'sMommy
Oh - I'm sorry. They might just be scared of the real bath. It may seem too big for them. Hope it gets easier!posted 06/22/2012 by jthorne1
i have tried all that, all they do is scream at me, both were fine in baby bath,but in the bigger bath they both hate it, i have 5 children in total and the other 3 love baths, thanks for your comment tho,really appreciate it.posted 06/22/2012 by vickerycas
Make bath time fun - sing to them, talk to them, make faces, anything. My daughter is 10.5wks and every time I get her undressed to bathe her she gets the biggest smile on her face and starts laughing. Try and make it as much fun as possible for them. Wish you luck! :)posted 06/22/2012 by jthorne1

text: I am in the market for a true touring bike. I'm tired if modifying rides to take on touring. So it's boiled down to Surly LHT or Motobecane Gran Turismo. The price difference is night and day. The Gran Turismo seems like it's legit but I wonder if there is some tensile steel in there. That's what turned me off of Nashbar TR1. Everything looked great until I saw tensile steel. I could buy the Gran Turismo and not feel any pain in the wallet, but I know the LHT would be the smarter buy and the sting would eventually go away. Can somebody weigh in on the Gran Turismo?

Volume 48, Issue 2, 15 January 1968
Electronic Angular Momentum of Cyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Radicals and Ions48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668679View Description Hide Description
The electronic angular momentum is calculated for the ground‐state, π‐electronic wavefunctions of C3H3, C5H5, C7H7, C4H4 +, C4H4 −, C6H6 +, and C6H6 − on the basis of simple molecular‐orbital theory. If the effective nuclear charge of carbon is taken as 3.18 and the carbon‐carbon bond distance as 1.40 Å then , in units of , is 0.393, 0.755, 1.331, 0.644, 0.644, 0.809, and 1.084 for C3H3, C5H5, C7H7, C4H4 +, C4H4 −, C6H6 +, and C6H6 −, respectively. Values of are also given for other values of effective nuclear charge and bond distance.
Thermal Diffusion Flux Equation for Zirconium Hydride at High Hydrogen Contents48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668680View Description Hide Description
The thermal diffusion mechanism for hydrogen in zirconium is studied in terms of a simple kinetics model appropriate for nondilute as well as dilute solutions. The equations resulting from this model are correlated with available experimental data for zirconium hydride at high hydrogen contents. The results demonstrate that the thermal diffusion flux term for a concentrated solution must contain a factor to account for the nonavailability of interstitial sites. This factor is essentially proportional to the probability of an individual atom finding a vacant site on an adjacent lattice in which to jump. For δ‐ or ε‐phase zirconium hydride, this factor is given with reasonable accuracy by (2–H/Zr)/3.25.
Optical Properties of Polystyrene Films in the Far Ultraviolet48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668681View Description Hide Description
Measurements of the optical properties of solid polystyrene in the wavelength range 1100‐2300 Å are reported. The real and imaginary parts of the complex index of refraction were determined from transmission measurements on a series of thin films. The absorptionspectrum shows a strong peak at 1925 Å plus minor features around 1350 and 2170 Å as well as evidence for a second major peak below 1100 Å. The measured values of the optical constants were used to calculate the complex dielectric constant and the characteristic electron energy‐loss function. The latter exhibits a maximum at 6.92 eV which appears to arise primarily from collective excitationeffects.
Irreversible Transformation of Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Shock Compression48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668682View Description Hide Description
Shock‐wave compression measurements from 20 to 300 kbar are reported for hexagonal boron nitride. A phase transition occurs at 122 kbar and 230°C in good agreement with static data. The volume decrease is approximately 19% and the estimated slope of the phase line for the solid–solid transition is −3.6 × 10−2kbar °C−1. Crystallites of the dense phases recovered after shock compression above the transformation pressure were identified by x‐ray diffraction as zinc blende cubic with traces of wurtzite.
Magnetic Structures of TbAu248(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668683View Description Hide Description
Neutron‐powder‐diffraction study has shown that, in the range 55°‐42.5°K, TbAu2 (tetragonal, iso‐structural to MnAu2) exhibits a linear‐transverse‐wave spin alignment propagating along the axis (the face‐centered description) and polarized in the axis direction. The wavelength of this static magnetization wave is incommensurable with the atomic repetition and varies 1.200‐1.186 in spacing units in the range 55°‐42.5°K. The rms moment per Tb at 42.6°K is 5.1 Bohr magnetons. At just below 42.5°K, a first‐order magnetic transition takes place and the wavelength of the transverse wave abruptly becomes equal to the spacing. The resulting antiferromagneticstructure persists down to 2°K and the saturation moment is practically identical to the ordered moment of the free Tb3+ ion, 9.0 Bohr magnetons. The crystallographic data in the range 300°‐5°K are also presented.
Scattering of High‐Velocity Neutral Particles. XV. He–H2 and He–D248(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668684View Description Hide Description
Total collision cross sections have been measured for helium atoms with energies between 500 and 1900 eV scattered by room temperature H2 and D2. Within the experimental precision of ±2% the cross sections of the two systems are identical. The results have been analyzed to obtain the following average potentials: He–H2: ; He–D2: . The measurements are in good agreement with a calculated He–H2 interaction of Krauss and Mies, suitably averaged over molecular orientation. The effect upon scattering of the anisotropy of the potential is discussed in the light of a classical perturbation theory of small angle scattering developed by Cross.
Satellite Bands in the Emission Spectrum of Cesium48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668685View Description Hide Description
Satellite bands near the atomic lines of the emission spectrum of cesium in the presence of heavy noble gases were observed and their positions measured. For the series which also appear in absorption, the measured positions of the band maxima are in general agreement with those previously reported. Several interesting regularities in the data are noted and a simple interpretation is suggested.
Studies on the Vibrational Spectrum of the SO4 = Ion in Crystalline M2′M″(SO4)2·6H2O (M′ = K or NH4 and M″ = Mg, Zn, Ni, or Co): Observations on the Symmetry of the Sulfate Ion in Crystals48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668686View Description Hide Description
Polarization studies on the Raman spectra of suitably oriented single crystals of the isomorphous M2′M″ (SO4)2·6H2O (M′ = K or NH4 and M″ = Mg, Zn,Ni, and Co) have been carried out to assign the symmetry species of the sulfate group frequencies. The theoretical principles underlying these experiments are briefly explained. Infrared absorption spectra of these sulfates have been recorded by the pressed‐disk and mull techniques. Infrared reflection data from the literature are also collected and analyzed along with the other data. The results relating to the multiplicity of the SO4 = frequencies are discussed in terms of the symmetry of the sulfate ion in these crystals.
Electron Spin Resonance Study of the Photolysis of Polystyrene and Poly(α‐Methylstyrene)48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668687View Description Hide Description
The photolysis of polystyrene and poly (α‐methylstyrene) was studied by ESR techniques using highly concentrated glassy solutions of the polymers near liquid‐nitrogen temperature. Every attempt was made to insure detection of the earliest free‐radical species. The use of poly (1‐vinylnaphthalene) and polystyrene‐2,3,4,5,6‐d 5 verified that the primary radical species is located on the polymer chain and not the ring. The ESR spectra obtained for both polystyrene and poly (α‐methylstyrene) are consistent with the structure . Interpretation of the observed spectra is made on the basis of the stereochemistry of the polymer chain.
Xenon‐Sensitized Fluorescence of CO Excited by 1470‐Å Radiation48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668688View Description Hide Description
The triplet fluorescence of CO, sensitized by xenon and excited by 1470‐Å radiation, has been investigated. As opposed to unsensitized fluorescence, where almost all the observed triplet emission is from the state, emission is observed from various vibrational levels of the states. It is shown that Xe metastable atoms are not involved in the collisional process that causes excitation, and therefore, a reaction between the resonant atom and CO must be occurring. Experiments carried out to compare the quenching of unsensitized and sensitized fluorescence by He, Ar, and N2 indicate that there is a precursor to the emitting CO* in the sensitized case, presumably a collision complex of and CO. The reaction Xe* + CO→XeCO appears to take place at every collision, and the complex has a lifetime of at least 2 × 10−6 sec before it decomposes to Xe and CO*. Rate constants were obtained for the quenching of CO* by various gases, including CO, and ratios of rate constants were found for XeCO quenching by He, Ar, N2, and CO.
Anisotropy in the Magnetic Susceptibility and the Molecular Quadrupole Moment of 16O12C32S48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668689View Description Hide Description
A high‐resolution Zeeman effectmicrowave spectrometer has been used to determine the anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility of OCS as . From this data, the individual components of the magnetic susceptibility and the quadrupole moment of OCS have been calculated as ; and , respectively.
Shock‐Tube Study of Nitrogen Dissociation using Vacuum‐Ultraviolet Light Absorption48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668690View Description Hide Description
A shock‐tube investigation of the dissociation of nitrogen diluted in argon is described which utilizes vacuum‐ultraviolet absorption at 1176 Å to monitor the disappearance of molecular nitrogen. Measurements of the dissociation rate coefficients for the process were obtained over the temperature range 8000° to 15 000°K where the collision partner, M, was Ar, N2, and N. The temperature dependence of the individual rate coefficients was found to be the same and was obtained with good precision. The magnitudes of the rate coefficients were generally lower than the currently accepted values obtained in previous shock‐tube investigations, especially the value for which, although it was found to be about 10 times greater than , was six times less than two previous measurements. The results of the investigation may be summarized by the following expressions for the dissociation rate coefficients: , , .
Encouragingly good agreement between the recombination rate coefficients, , inferred from the measurements of , with predictions of obtained from the theories of Benson and Fueno and Keck and Carrier, were obtained.
Jahn‐Teller Effect in the EPR Spectrum of Cu++: MgO at 1.2°K48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668691View Description Hide Description
The EPR spectrum of Cu++: MgO at 1.2°K is described and shown to be characteristic of a Kramers quartet of states which have anisotropic transitions characteristic of a one‐ion‐per‐unit‐cell system. This is an octahedral symmetry property which may be realized either by the vanishing of the Jahn‐Teller effect at 1.2°K or by the presence of tunneling between equivalent tetragonally distorted states. The tunneling process generates a Kramers doublet and quartet separated by a small tunneling (inversion) splitting, as has been shown by Bersuker and O'Brien. A theoretical g‐value formula for the tunneling quartet is derived for the magnetic field in an arbitrary direction. The experimental g values are shown to be in good agreement with this formula, but they are not in agreement with a similar formula for the static octahedral symmetry quartet. The hyperfine structure is also shown to be better explained as a property of the tunneling quartet. The tunneling doublet has not been detected at 1.2°K and is presumed to be thermally depopulated. It is concluded that the paramagnetic resonance properties of Cu++:MgO at liquid‐helium temperaturesmeasured at 9 × 109 cps are determined by a dynamic tunneling effect. We have found no evidence for a "frozen‐out" tetragonal distortion.
Rigid Spheres Near Close Packing: Tunnel Model and a Lower Bound on the Partition Function48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668692View Description Hide Description
In the high‐density limit, the Helmholtz free energy function for an assembly of rigid spheres at temperature has the asymptotic form , where is Boltzmann's constant, is the sphere diameter, the mean thermal de Broglie wavelength, and where is the close‐packed volume of the hard‐sphere crystal whose bulk volume is . The value of the constant for the tunnel model in a face‐centered cubic lattice is found to be , as compared with the single‐particle free‐volume cell value . In addition an upper bound for in a face‐centered lattice is calculated, with the result , a previous result being .
Field‐Emission Study of the Adsorption and Decomposition of Ammonia on Tungsten48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668693View Description Hide Description
The catalytic decomposition of ammonia on tungsten has been investigated by field electron‐emission microscopy. Physisorbed ammonia causes a large lowering of work function (∼ − 2.8 eV). Ammonia chemisorbs at low temperatures by the formation of a coordinate bond and the heat of adsorption and activation energy for decomposition appear to be highest on planes of highest clean work function. Decomposition to nitrogen and hydrogen occurs in the interval 200°–400°K. Interaction of ammonia with a clean tungstensurface at higher temperatures causes the successive appearance of three species, presently interpreted as N, NNH2, and NNH3 +. The interaction of ammonia with nitrogen adatoms to produce the additional species will proceed at lower temperatures and therefore requires little activation energy. The rate‐limiting step in the decomposition of ammonia on tungsten is the decomposition on the surface of NNH2. The proposed scheme for decomposition satisfies the existing kinetic data for tungsten. The implication of these results on the structure of nitrogen adatoms is discussed.
Electronic Zeeman Measurements on 1,4‐Dibromonaphthalene48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668694View Description Hide Description
A summary of interpretive methods regarding high‐field electronic Zeeman measurements is presented. The equations calculated for two active spin substates (zero field) of the lowest triplet state, are applied to 1,4‐dibromonaphthalene crystal spectra.
The Zeeman spectra of the electronic and vibronic origins of the lowest triplet state have different polarization, but they have very similar Zeeman effects indicating similar spin‐substate activity. The complete analysis enables us to show that the lowest triplet state is of species which correlates with in . The vibronic origins are shown to arise by spin‐orbit coupling with singlet states that are vibronically mixed with other singlet states.
Certain crystal‐field effects are apparent in the spectra and those are discussed in relation to two suggested types of mixing; namely, intermolecular spin‐orbit coupling, and intermolecular exchange coupling.
Assignment of the Lowest Triplet State of the Carbonyl Group48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668695View Description Hide Description
A study of the electronic spectrum of the transition of benzophenone crystals is presented. The transition originates at 24 194 cm−1, and it displays carbonyl stretching and ring torsion modes of the molecule. The observed polarization ratio of 2.5 ± 0.2 is indicative of the fact that at least two of the spin substates of the triplet can combine with the ground state in electric dipole radiation. The two transitions are (parallel to C–O) and (perpendicular to C–O in the R2CO plane) polarized with the former dominant by a factor of 3.
A polarized high‐field Zeeman study of the transition shows that the and spin designated states are the active ones; this result shows that the state is of (in ) type and that the state becomes active through vibronic coupling amongst higher states. The appearance of torsional modes in the spectrum is discussed in relation to this vibronic coupling.
CO Chemiluminescence from Flames48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668696View Description Hide Description
The chemiluminescence from the reaction of oxygen atoms and carbon suboxide in a flow system has been reinvestigated. In addition to the "triplet" bands reported previously, two other band systems of CO were observed: the Herman bands, also in the red, and the Fourth Positive bands in the vacuum ultraviolet. The three electronic states show a common excitation limit of almost 9 eV above the ground state. The emission intensity in the red and in the vacuum ultraviolet vary together as the flame conditions are changed, showing that the three excited states are formed in a single reaction. Traces of hydrogen are not necessary for the chemiluminescence. The reaction responsible for the emission is probably . Quenching of the CO emission depends on the ratios (NO) / (O) and (O2) / (O). NO is a more efficient quencher than O2, in agreement with the behavior found for formed by the photolysis of C3O2. The vacuum‐ultraviolet emission from a O + C2H2flame was found to be identical to that of the O + C3O2flame. As required by the single‐reaction hypothesis, the "triplet" bands and probably the Herman bands were found in the spectrum of the O + C2H2flame. The vacuum‐ultraviolet photon yield from the O + C2H2flame was 10−4.3 ± 0.5/C2H2. Possible reactions which could form C2O in these flames are discussed.
Multiple‐Pulse NMR Experiments48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668698View Description Hide Description
The behavior of a spin system disturbed by a train of closely spaced pulses can, under the proper limiting circumstances, be described in terms of a time‐independent effective Hamiltonian. The necessary conditions on pulse spacing are discussed and a recipe is given for constructing the effective Hamiltonian. The method is applied to the previously employed trains of 180° or 90° pulses, obtaining the well‐known limiting behavior for small pulse spacing. An analysis is given of a recently reported experiment using a train of phase‐alternated 90° pulses. Two new experiments involving complex pulse sequences are proposed, one of which permits the arbitrary scaling of the effective chemical shifts in a high‐resolution NMR spectrum, and the other of which annihilates dipole‐dipole and quadrupole effects in solids, leaving the chemical shifts and scalar couplings.
Ellipsometric Study of Oxygen‐Containing Films on Platinum Anodes48(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1668699View Description Hide Description
Ellipsometry is applied to study the oxidation of platinum in sulfuric acid solution. Steady‐state and transient measurements show that oxide‐film formation commences when the potential is anodic to 0.95 V. The film is light absorbing. The film thickness increases linearly with potential. A mechanism of film growth based on place exchange is developed.

2009 has been filled with celebrations of Evergreen's sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary. The Evergreen Chorale's holiday concert, 150 Years of Holiday Music in Evergreen, is a fitting way to wrap up a year of merriment in honor of our historic mountain community.
"We wanted to create a program packed with pieces that have been performed in Evergreen throughout its 150-year history," said Laurie Romberg, the Chorale's publicity manager.
Another season, another scandal. This time, a minor car accident in Florida gave rise to a story that culminated in Tiger Woods issuing a public statement confessing to "transgressions."
In what appears to be a semi-annual ritual, the press is having a field day with the foibles of another celebrity. Talk shows talk. Experts offer opinions. Eyebrows are raised. Heads move gravely from side to side.
Are we the better for it?
Music and merriment return to Center/Stage in Evergreen with the Baroque Folke concert at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 20.
This eight-member consort of friends performs on early instruments, including recorder, viola da gamba, krummhorn, cornamuse and harpsichord, as well as singing in vocal ensembles. The program mingles carols from many countries with instrumental pieces, all chosen to reflect the spirit of December holidays.
Performers include Ann and Mike Moore, Sally Ochsner, Bob Baldwin, Paul Ahlquist, Rebecca Beshore, Hopi Moore-Sargent and Ruth Harvey.
LAKEWOOD — After shooting out to a 2-0 start to the season, the Evergreen Cougars experienced their first growing pains this past weekend, going 0-3 in the Paul Davis Classic at Green Mountain High School.
Scrappy to the end, the Cougars (3-3) slowly lost their shine from an overtime loss against Thomas Jefferson, to a close loss to Class 5A Green Mountain, to getting pounded on at times by a talented Lewis-Palmer.
If you spend your time in the testosterone world long enough, you're bound to see something like this: An unsuspecting guy gets caught in a brawl he never intended and it's nothing but a flurry of punches before he realizes what he stumbled into.
That was kind of like what Evergreen heavyweight Josh Karnath found himself in Dec. 10, minus, of course, the punches.
Karnath had Valor Christian freshman Stanley Gilbert on him like a hornet to start their match and he staggered out of the first salvo with a little wobble and bit of worry.
"Be careful what you wish for!" laughed Lisa Rogers, director of resident services at Evergreen's Elk Run Assisted Living Community. "This started as the glimmer of an idea less than three months ago — and now look where we are!"
Luckylure Christmas Trees in Evergreen is about to kick off its annual tree giveaway for area families in need.
Starting today, 25 Christmas trees will be available for any foothills families who have experience job loss as a result of the ailing economy.
Glen "Rocky" Brougham, owner of Luckylure, has also presented checks to the Evergreen fire department, the Elks Lodge and the Seniors' Resource Center as part of a 16-year tradition of contributing to the community.
Evergreen resident Stephanie Villafuerte, 43, is stepping down as the nominee for the job of U.S. attorney for Colorado.
U.S. Sen. Mark Udall and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar submitted Villafuerte's name for consideration along with the names of William Thiebaut Jr. and John Walsh III in February. She currently works as the governor's deputy chief of staff.
The Evergreen Fire Protection District board voted to postpone a decision on whether to authorize cost-of-living raises pending the results of a market-wide pay analysis.
At the regular meeting Dec. 8, the board adopted on a 3-2 vote a 2010 budget that included funds for as much as a 3.5 percent cost-of-living adjustment. But whether or not the money is forthcoming remains to be seen.
Board members Charles Simons, Jeff DeDisse and George Kling voted in favor of the budget. Chick Dykeman and George Goldbach voted against.
Commissioners Jim Spaanstra, Shirley Johnson, Joe Siccardi, Jim Allred, Larry Anna, Jim Cole, Richard Olson, Rick Nelson and Alan Jones were in attendance. Allred excused himself from the vote because he was not able to attend all the hearings.The decision is a recommendation only and next goes to the Jeffco commissioners, which make the final decision.
Under the recommendation of the planning body, the Board of Adjustment would be empowered to grant a special exception for short-term vacation rentals in unincorporated Jefferson County, under certain conditions.

"Dick" (1999)
Essentially "Romy & Michele Uncover A Vast Government Conspiracy," "Dick" asks us to consider what might have happened had Watergate whistleblower 'Deep Throat' not been former FBI agent W. Mark Felt, but a couple of dunderheaded schoolgirls who inadvertently happened across the break-in whilst staying overnight at the notorious hotel. A long way from "Melancholia" and "Meek's Cutoff," Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams give game performances as the two ditsy leads, and though he doesn't physically resemble Tricky Dickie in any way, Dan Hedaya gives one of the best performances of his career imitating the President Nixon's paranoiac ramblings. The film, though, only hits upon a consistent sweet spot when Will Ferrell and Bruce McCulloch show up as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, bickering like an old married couple, throwing the rest of this unambitious comedy into sharp relief. There are funny moments in and of themselves – Williams' masturbatory beach fantasy with Nixon is something to behold - but "Dick" dilutes the rest of the crisis down to a series of interminable phallic punchlines and ignores any real attempt at cutting satire. Far too knowing to be dismissed as the backward cousin of "All the President's Men" – Nixon's dead dog Checkers is anachronistically wheeled out so the girls can extend their remit as the White House's "secret youth advisors" – it's still not smart enough to commit to anything beyond a light ribbing. Given that the rest of director Andrew Fleming's career has been sketchy at best (the ill-advised remake of "The In Laws;" "Nancy Drew") we should probably all be thankful he never followed it up with something like "Woody" - a dramedy about the 28th President's attempts to reconcile the America's burgeoning post-WWI isolationism with some erection jokes thrown in for good measure. And even though it features a scene of Russian General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev brokering a peace deal whilst tripping on space brownies and singing the opening bars of "Hello, Dolly!," this "Dick" is still overwhelmingly half-cocked. [C+]
"Erin Brockovich" (2000)
Nobody can accuse Steven Soderbergh of being a one-note director. In 2000, he came out with "Traffic," a gritty expose on the war on drugs, and "Erin Brockovich," the true story of a working mother who stumbles on one of the biggest class-action suits ever. The film took Julia Roberts all the way to her first (and most likely last) Oscar win, but it also proved that Soderbergh could turn a pretty profit for the studios. And as a film it has a lot going for it, especially Roberts, who is great as the brassy, argumentative, passionately strong-willed Brockovich, an immensely likable character, who never devolves into self pity over her own difficult circumstances, and whose simple, common-sense morality and quick wit proves more than a match for her adversaries. The character goes through ups and downs, but she's a fighter, and it would take a hard heart to not be rooting, not just for her clients, but for her personally, by the end. The film also packs one hell of a supporting cast including Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart (in his first major studio role) and Marg Helgenberger, but it's Roberts' film and, like the character she portrays, she dominates it, this time with more than just her thousand-watt smile. Its success was influential too, setting an example for others to come about women taking on corporations, most of which were not as expertly done. [A]
"Michael Clayton" (2007)
Writer/director Tony Gilroy's first feature, "Michael Clayton," was one of the best reviewed films of 2007 and for good reason. Gilroy's script and adept work behind the camera threw a wrench in the whistleblower genre by focusing on authentic characters facing real moral conundrums, each of whom makes questionable choices. George Clooney plays the title character, a "fixer" at a huge law firm who is called in when the shit hits the fan. And hit the fan it does when his colleague Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) discovers that one of their biggest clients, U-North, knew that one of their chemicals was carcinogenic. Facing a crippling class-action lawsuit, U-North's in-house counsel, Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton), must decide how to handle Arthur and the information he has threatened to expose. Swinton's performance (which earned her a long-overdue Oscar) was just one of the many stellar turns that pack the film -- Clooney's work is solid and intelligent, as is that of the late Sydney Pollack as Michael's boss. However, Wilkinson is quite brilliant as the manic-depressive Arthur who has an almost-complete break with reality, but not with his morals. The film was nominated for seven Oscars (including Best Director, Original Screenplay and Picture), but Swinton's was the only win. Accolades aside, "Michael Clayton" is a fantastic examination of shady corporate dealings and the courage necessary to take them down. In 'Clayton,' Gilroy, who went on to direct the less-impressive "Duplicity," shows off his talent as a director and his confidence in the intelligence of his audience. [A]
"The Nasty Girl" (1990)
Though its English-language title and cover art might suggest otherwise, this West German film isn't nasty or naughty at all, a particular feat when considering it's directed by someone named Verhoeven. But rather than arriving from "Showgirls" helmer Paul Verhoeven, "The Nasty Girl" is directed by the unrelated Michael Verhoeven ("The White Rose"). It follows Sonja (Lena Stolze), first appearing as a high schooler who is writing about her town's involvement in the Third Reich for an essay. Despite the insistence of those around her that they didn't aid in the atrocities, Sonja discovers the sins of the the town's history, causing her to be an outcast among those she'd considered her neighbors. Sonja becomes obsessed with her investigation over the course of a decade, much to the distress of those in the town who wish she'd just stay quiet and stay out of the past. Though it sounds like standard, depressing Holocaust fare, "The Nasty Girl" is surprisingly lighthearted and even fun at times, thanks largely to the postmodern style of Verhoeven, who lets his heroine speak directly to the audience and constantly, almost playfully, breaks the wall between reality and cinema. Unfortunately, (likely as a casualty of the sale of Miramax) "The Nasty Girl" isn't available on Region 1 DVD, despite receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. [B+]
"North Country" (2005)
Niki Caro's "North Country" is the type of movie that gets positive attention for all the wrong reasons. It features Charlize Theron with a bad haircut (again "uglying down" for a role like she did in "Monster", though here she stops short of 'hideous' and goes merely for 'dowdy'), and fictionalizes the first sexual harassment lawsuit won by a female miner who had endured the abuses of the male-dominated mining company. The performances in the film are solid enough with Theron doing a competent job (though not one necessarily worthy of the Oscar nomination she got) and a particularly strong supporting cast of Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins, Sissy Spacek, Woody Harrelson, Sean Bean and Jeremy Renner, providing excellent back up. It's a shame then that the film just doesn't come together and here the sensationalist topic only serves to draw attention to bad filmmaking, which is guilty of a sort of prurience: the court aspect of the film is rushed in favor of showing the female miners suffering abuse over and over. And while we empathize with the difficulties these women faced in reality, in the film, the dialogue is too on the nose, and the metaphoric imagery of drilling into the earth just too overt to do the subject matter justice.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The first tee shot clattered through a pair of pines on the left side of the 13th fairway, finally landing on the wrong side of Rae's Creek. Tiger Woods tried again, and this wasn't any better. Fans peered across the fairway and only heard the ball rifle through some bushes.
"He's hitting another one," a man announced from the gallery.
The third shot with a fairway metal caused them to retreat until it turned with a slight draw, clipping a pine branch and settling in the second cut of rough.
Woods played nine holes Wednesday in his final tuneup for the Masters, and how he played was of little consequence. Even so, that snapshot from the 13th tee was a reminder how quickly the best plans can fall apart, even for the No. 1 player on top of his game, especially at Augusta National.
Think back to Woods at his absolute best.
He won 10 times in 2000, including three majors, and finished no worse than fifth in 19 of his 22 tournaments worldwide. Going into the Masters, he either won or finished second in 10 of his previous 11 PGA Tour events. It felt as though everyone was playing for second at Augusta that year.
What happened?
Woods made a double bogey and a triple bogey in a span of three holes, shot 75 in the opening round and never caught up.
The hype over Woods is not that strong this year, though there is no doubt who is driving the conversation. Those who have played with him on the course or hit balls next to him on the range talked about how he never missed a shot. His putting has been pure since he got that tip from Steve Stricker last month at Doral. And it shows in the scores. Woods has won his last two tournaments, at Doral and Bay Hill, and neither was terribly close.
When the Masters begins today, he is the odds-on favorite to end his five-year drought in the majors, and win a green jacket for the first time since 2005.
Trouble is, Augusta National doesn't play favorites.
"Obviously, Tiger is Tiger," said Scott Piercy, who will play alongside Woods and Luke Donald in the opening two rounds. "He's always going to be that target. He knows it, and that's how he wants it. But there's a lot of people getting closer. And the golfing gods, or whatever you want to call them, have a lot to do with winning. A bounce here, a bounce there. A lip in, a lip out."
Angel Cabrera got one of those bounces off a pine tree and back into the 18th fairway in 2009 that helped him save par and win a playoff on the next hole. Sure, he was a former U.S. Open champion, but the big Argentine was No. 69 in the world that year, the lowest-ranked player to ever win the Masters.
The hole got in the way twice for Charl Schwartzel in 2011, once on a chip across the first green that fell for birdie, another a shot from the third fairway that dropped for eagle. He finished with four straight birdies to win.
It has been 11 years since the No. 1 player in the world — Woods — won the Masters.
There is always the usual assortment of players who seem to contend every year for a green jacket. Phil Mickelson is a three-time Masters champion, his most recent in 2010 when he arrived at Augusta National without having come close to winning that year. Fred Couples was tied for the 36-hole lead last year at age 52. Rory McIlroy has shown he can play the course, at least on the weekdays. Lee Westwood has been among the top three twice since 2010.
But for every Woods there is Zach Johnson. For every Mickelson there is Trevor Immelman.
Johnson was just a normal guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who would not seem to fit the profile of a Masters champion. He wasn't very long, didn't hit the ball very high and didn't go for the green in two on any of the par 5s. He won by two shots in 2007.
"I thought I was playing good that week," Johnson said.
He might have been the only one who realized it. Johnson put the estimate at "0.5 percent" of those who could have pictured him in a green jacket. Then again, it's like that just about everywhere he goes.
"The favorite is all media-driven, all public-driven," Johnson said. "There are no surprises out there. There's probably 70 or 80 guys that you would not be surprised one bit if any of them won."
Three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo didn't name them all, but his list kept growing when he talked about 20 players who could win the Masters, all from what he referred to as the second tier and described as "pretty darn good."
Justin Rose, Ian Poulter and Luke Donald. Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas. Louis Oosthuizen and Schwartzel.
"Yes, Tiger is the favorite," Faldo said. "He's strong. He's determined. We will see. But he's going to be chased by a lot of really good players."
Woods is annoyed seven Masters have come and gone since he last sat in Butler Cabin with his green jacket, though he looks at his record and isn't worried. He keeps giving himself chances, and he figures one of these years, everything will fall into place.
And he's still the guy to beat.
"One shot in front of Tiger is not a bad place to be around here," Ian Poulter said.

A peek at stock and currency markets in 2008
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Global stock markets are rebounding
The chart illustrates daily index values for several world stock indices, where each index value has been based to 100 for comparison. Key stock markets in developed economies peaked at the end of May 2008, when the price of oil was increasing propitiously, and with it, the economic outlook. Consumer, firm, and investor angst grew, and the sell-off began.
China's Shanghai Stock Exchange has been declining since the beginning of the year. Emerging markets, where food and energy costs are a large share of the total cost of living, really suffered during the period of food and energy inflation. On the other hand, the Canadian TSX performed relatively well underscored by strong commodity revenue growth, but has likewise, declined amid the global banking crisis.
As oil increased and peaked above $145/barrel in July, stock indices continued to decline with the global inflation surge. However, the real troubles started in mid-September, following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the onslaught of the global banking crisis. Even Canada, with its rating of "the world's soundest bank system", suffered as expected earnings declined quickly with global commodity markets.
Finally, some relief. From Reuters:
"LONDON (Reuters) - Global investors piled into equities for the second day in a row on Tuesday, dumping relatively safer assets as they took comfort from concerted efforts by governments to shore up the financial system. Much of the trading was unwinding panic moves from last week when fears about the worst financial crisis in nearly 80 years swept across the world.
European shares were following Asia sharply higher, rising around 4 percent. Japan's Nikkei, which was not traded on Monday because of a holiday, gained more than 14 percent. MSCI's main world stock index was up more than 3 percent, gaining more than 12 percent for the week to date after plunging 20 percent last week. Its emerging market stock counterpart (.MSCIEF was up 5.2 percent, adding to Monday's 7.4 percent gain.
Investments seen recently as relatively safe compared with stocks -- the Japanese yen and government bonds -- fell.
"There's relief that banks probably won't go bankrupt thanks to the capital injection plans," said Koichi Ogawa, chief portfolio manager at Daiwa SB Investments in Japan.
The United States will announce plans later in the day to inject $250 billion into its banks, following similar moves by Britain, France, Germany and others on Monday.
Japan also joined the global push, saying it could inject public funds into regional banks to make sure small firms can get cash.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was up 4 percent points after its strongest one-day percentage rise on record -- 10.1 percent -- on Monday.
"Market players are hoping that the crisis has reached a turnaround point thanks to the extensive aid programs," German bank Helaba said in a note."" And the $US rode a great wave that may be over
The chart illustrates daily currency values, where each index has been based to 100 for comparison. The currency markets behaved differently than did the global stock markets. The outlook on inflation – which affected global stock market values – did not play a strong role in global currency markets, as inflation rates across the globe grew in tendem. Even as oil prices peaked, where world oil is quoted in $US, the value of the $US rose against key currencies. The Federal Reserve was cutting rates sharply, while key economies (Canada, U.K., Eurozone) engaged in little, if any, expansionary policy, and the $US remained stable on the US's more sanguine outlook.
As soon as soft Q1 numbers were released for key global economies (Canada, U.K., Germany), the value of the $US swelled. It wasn't so much a function of US strength, but rather the weakening of key economies in Western Europe and Asia. The second wave of $US strength occurred when the banking crisis showed its scary face. The Federal Reserve Bank and US Congress played a key role with their quick and pre-emptive attack on the banking crisis, and in fact, the European banking system was/is arguably worse off than the U.S. banking system. As soon as Europe showed their joint commitment to stabilizing the aggregate banking system, relative confidence grew and the $US dollar fell (yesterday).
Are we back to basics? The global outlook improved (however slightly), and investors seek the higher relative return, selling off $US. Nope. Global investors are fleeing to those markets with the strongest government bank guarantees, and as of yesterday, Europe was winning the horse race.
Hopefully, the banking crisis has subsided and investor confidence has – at least for now – re-emerged. 15 banks have failed since the year started, and more are expected, but for now, I'll let Paul Volcker speak for the consensus. From Bloomberg:
The bailout measures were ``distasteful'' and ``not consistent with a capitalistic system,'' Volcker said at a lecture in Singapore today. ``But however distasteful, they are necessary to restore stability to the financial system.''"

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
34:1-8 Here is a prophecy of the wars of the Lord, all which are both righteous and successful. All nations are concerned. And as they have all had the benefit of his patience, so all must expect to feel his resentment. The description of bloodshed suggests tremendous ideas of the Divine judgments. Idumea here denotes the nations at enmity with the church; also the kingdom of antichrist. Our thoughts cannot reach the horrors of that awful season, to those found opposing the church of Christ. There is a time fixed in the Divine counsels for the deliverance of the church, and the destruction of her enemies. We must patiently wait till then, and judge nothing before the time. Through Christ, mercy is exercised to every believer, consistently with justice, and his name is glorified.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 5. - My sword shall be bathed in heaven; rather, has been bathed, or has been made drunken (ἐνεθύσθη, LXX.) in heaven. Some suppose a reference to the old" war in heaven," when the sword of Divine justice was drawn against the devil and his angels. Others regard the sword now to be used against the Idumeans as first, in heaven, "made drunken" with the Divine anger. It shall come down upon Idumea (comp. Isaiah 63:1-6). The Edomites first showed themselves enemies of Israel when they refused to allow the Israelites, under Moses, "a passage through their border" (Numbers 20:14-21). David subdued them (2 Samuel 9:14); but they revolted from Jehoram (2 Chronicles 21:8-10), and were thenceforward among the most bitter adversaries of the southern kingdom. They "smote Judah" in the reign of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:17), and were always ready to "shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity" (Ezekiel 35:5). Amos speaks of them very much in the same tone as Isaiah (Amos 1:11, 12). They ultimately "filled up the measure of their iniquities" by open rejoicing when Jerusalem was destroyed, and the people led away captive by Nebuchadnezzar (Psalm 137:7; Obadiah 1:10-14; Lamentations 4:21, 22; Ezekiel 35:10-13). In the present passage we must regard the Edomites as representative of the enemies of God's people generally (see the introductory paragraph). The people of my curse; i.e. "the people on whom I have laid a curse" - the Edomites. Esau was to "serve" Jacob (Genesis 25:23; Genesis 27:40), Edom to be "a possession" for Judah (Numbers 24:18). God had said of Edom, probably before Isaiah uttered the present prophecy, "For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof... but I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah" (Amos 1:11, 12). Thus Edom was under a curse.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven,.... That is, the sword of the Lord, as it is called in the next verse Isaiah 34:6, and it is he that is speaking; it designs the vengeance of the Lord, the punishment he will inflict on the wicked, said to be "bathed in heaven", because determined and prepared there; the allusion may be to the bathing of swords in some sort of liquor, to harden or brighten them, and so fit them for use. Kimchi renders it, "my sword" which is "in heaven shall be bathed", that is, in the blood of the slain; "heaven" may denote the whole Roman Papal jurisdiction, as it does the whole Roman Pagan empire in Revelation 12:7 and may design the principal men in it, those that are in the highest places and offices, in whom the sword of the Lord shall be first drenched, and be as it were satiated and inebriated with the blood of them:
behold, it shall come down upon Idumea; with great weight, force, and vengeance, having a commission from heaven to execute. Idumea is here particularly mentioned, because the Edomites were implacable enemies to the Jews, and so are here put for all the enemies of God's church and people, all the antichristian states, particularly Rome, which the Jews, as Jerom observes, understand by Edom or Idumea here:
upon the people of my curse to judgment; a very descriptive character of the Papists, the people of God's curse, and righteously so; those who have anathematized his people, and cursed them with bell, book, and candle, are anathematized by him, devoted to destruction, and doomed to be accursed, sentenced to ruin, and on whom judgment shall pass, and shall be executed; they shall hear, "go, ye cursed", both here and hereafter, at the fall of Babylon, and at the general judgment. The Targum is,
"because my sword is revealed in heaven; behold, upon Edom it is revealed, and upon the people whom I have condemned to judgment.''
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
5. sword—(Jer 46:10). Or else, knife for sacrifice for God does not here appear as a warrior with His sword, but as one about to sacrifice victims doomed to slaughter [Vitringa]. (Eze 39:17).
bathed—rather "intoxicated," namely, with anger (so De 32:42). "In heaven" implies the place where God's purpose of wrath is formed in antithesis to its "coming down" in the next clause.
Idumea—originally extending from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea; afterwards they obtained possession of the country east of Moab, of which Bozrah was capital. Petra or Selah, called Joktheel (2Ki 14:7), was capital of South Edom (see on [754]Isa 16:1). David subjugated Edom (2Sa 8:13, 14). Under Jehoram they regained independence (2Ch 21:8). Under Amaziah they were again subdued, and Selah taken (2Ki 14:7). When Judah was captive in Babylon, Edom, in every way, insulted over her fallen mistress, killed many of those Jews whom the Chaldeans had left, and hence was held guilty of fratricide by God (Esau, their ancestor, having been brother to Jacob): this was the cause of the denunciations of the prophets against Edom (Isa 63:1, etc.; Jer 49:7; Eze 25:12-14; 35:3-15; Joe 3:19; Am 1:11, 12; Ob 8, 10, 12-18; Mal 1:3,4). Nebuchadnezzar humbled Idumea accordingly (Jer 25:15-21).
of my curse—that is, doomed to it.
to judgment—that is, to execute it.
Isaiah 34:5 Additional Commentaries
God's Judgments on the Nations
…4And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree. 5For My sword is satiated in heaven, Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom And upon the people whom I have devoted to destruction. 6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.…
