Part A: Units, Dimensions and Mathematical Concepts
Physics, one of the most fundamental sciences, can be defined as the study of the basic nature of matter and the interactions that govern its behavior. Physics deals with the fundamental laws of nature and many of their applications.
The study of physics involves:
- Observation of events (including designing and carrying out experiments).
- Invention/creation of theories (noting that theories are not derived directly from observations and that they also evolve or may change over time).
- Testing of its theories to see if their predictions are verified by experiment.
In physics you will use:
- Models, which are relatively simple and provide a structural similarity to the phenomena being studied.
- Theories, which are broader, more detailed, and attempt to solve a set of problems, often with great precision.
- Laws, which are certain and concise, but general statements about how nature behaves. These statements can take the form of a relationship or be stated as an equation between quantities.
Various quantities were created in physics for the purpose of describing the behavior of physical systems. There are three quantities: length, mass, and time, that are considered fundamental quantities and are used to create other quantities. One must be able to quantify these quantities—that is, to specify how much length, mass, or time a certain quantity has. This quantification is accomplished with a system of units.
- The unit of length is the meter (m).
- The unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
- The unit of time is the second (s).
The system of units based on these choices is called SI units, which stands for System International. The units are defined as follows:
- Meter (m) is defined as the distance traveled by light in vacuum during a time of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
- Kilogram (kg) is defined as the mass of a specific platinum-iridium cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sevres, France.
- Second (s) is defined as 9,192,631,770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.
Quantities such as length, mass, and time can also be expressed in several different units; therefore it is important to know how to convert from one unit to another. For example, length can be measured in feet (see example 1 on page 3 of your textbook). In everyday life in the United States, speed is measured in miles per hour, but for scientific purposes, in SI units, speed is measured in meters per second. Let's convert a speed of 60 miles/hour into meters/second. Consider that 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers, 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, and 1 h = 3600 s.
See also example 2 on page 4 of your textbook. All physical quantities are derived from the fundamental quantities discussed earlier. When a quantity is broken down into its fundamental quantities we call this breakdown its dimension. The dimension, therefore, represents the fundamental type of the quantity. When indicating the dimension of a quantity only, we use capital letters and enclose them in brackets. Thus, the dimension of length is represented by [L], mass by [M], and time [T], as shown in your textbook.
All equations used in physics must be dimensionally consistent; that is, the dimensions of both sides of the equation must match. Two simple rules must be taken into consideration when doing dimensional analysis:
- Two quantities can be added or subtracted only if they have the same dimension.
- Two quantities can be equal only if they have the same dimension.
Notice that only the dimension needs to be the same, not the units. It is perfectly valid to write "12 inches = 1 foot," because both of them are lengths, [L] = [L], even though their units are different. However, it is not valid to write "x inches = t seconds," because they have different dimensions, [L] and [T]. In dimensional analysis, purely numerical factors are ignored because they are dimensionless. Since there are dimensionless quantities, dimensional consistency does not guarantee that the equation is physically correct, but it makes for a quick and easy first check.
The period T (dimension [T]) of a swinging pendulum depends only on the length of the pendulum d (dimension [L]), and the acceleration of gravity g (dimension [L]/[T]2). Which of the formulas for T could be correct?
- T = 2π(dg)2
This is not correct because the dimensions on the left do not match the dimensions on the right.
This is not correct because the dimensions on the left do not match the dimensions on the right.
This could be the correct formula for T: the dimensions on the left match the dimensions on the right. The constant 2π is ignored because it is dimensionless.
Part B: Scalars and Vectors
First, we need to be clear on the difference between a scalar and a vector:
- Scalars are numbers with units; these units may be positive, negative, or zero.
- Vectors are mathematical quantities with both a magnitude and a direction.
- A quantity that is a vector is denoted with an arrow above the symbol for that quantity, or with a bolded symbol.
- A vector is represented graphically by an arrow whose direction is the same as the direction of the vector and whose length is proportional to the magnitude of the vector.
Vectors have the following two properties:
- Equality: Two or more vectors are equal if their magnitudes and directions are the same.
- The negative of a vector is a vector having the same magnitude but opposite direction.
There are two methods for adding two vectors:
1. The Triangle Method: Without changing the direction or the magnitude of the vectors, place the tail of the second vector in the tip of the first vector. The arrow drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector represents the sum, or resultant, of the two vectors, .
2. The Parallelogram Method: Without changing the direction or the magnitude of the vectors, place the tail of the second vector at the tail of the first vector. Build a parallelogram that has the two vectors as two adjacent sides. The arrow drawn along the diagonal of the parallelogram starting from the common tail of the two vectors represents the sum, or resultant, of the two vectors, .
Using the Triangle Method and the Parallelogram Method, find the resultant of vector and for the following cases:
Using the Triangle Method:
Using the Parallelogram Method:
Another simple way of adding two vectors is by using vector components. Any vector can be expressed as the sum of two other vectors (representing the projection of the vector along two perpendicular directions), called the vector components. The scalar component (or simply component) of a vector along a line in space is the length of the projection of the vector on that line.
To determine the components of a vector we need a coordinate system. A coordinate system is an artificial grid that you place on a problem in order to make quantitative measurements. When using a coordinate system you choose:
- where to place the origin.
- how to orient the axes.
A Conventional Cartesian coordinate system and the quadrants of the xy plane are shown at right. We will use the following convention for measuring angles: an angle made by a vector will be measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
Consider the two-dimensional coordinate system, xy.
- is the x-vector component of vector .
- is the y-vector component of vector .
- Ax is the x-scalar component of vector and the magnitude of vector component . It can have a positive, negative, or zero value.
- Ay is the y-scalar component of vector and the magnitude of vector component . It can have a positive, negative, or zero value.
- Θ is the angle formed by vector with the positive x-axis, measured counterclockwise.
Vector is split into two components, one pointing in the x-direction and the other in the y-direction. These directions are perpendicular to each other and form two sides of a right angle triangle having a hypotenuse with magnitude A. The magnitude of vector components Ax and Ay will be given by:
Ax = A cos θ
Ay = A sin θ
The magnitude and direction of vector are related to its components through the Pythagorean theorem and the definition of the tangent:
From the expression for the magnitude of a vector, one can see that the magnitude of a vector is always positive (because taking the square root can never result in a negative number).
A vector can be written in component form by using unit vectors. A unit vector is a vector of magnitude 1 that is usually oriented along the axes of the coordinate system used to decompose a vector in components.
In this case, a vector can be written as:
where the "hat" symbol above the unit vectors and indicates that these are unit vectors (each with a magnitude of 1).
, then the components of the resultant vector are Rx = Ax + Bx and
Ry = Ay + By .
Vector has a magnitude of 16 and points due east. Vector has a magnitude of 5 and points 30° north of west.
- Find the x and y components of vectors and .
- Find the magnitude and direction of vector .
The x and y components of vectors
are found using the equations for vector components. First draw a coordinate system on which you represent vectors
Then, write the x and y components of vectors and
where ΘA and ΘB are the angles made by vectors and with the positive x-axis, measured counterclockwise. Using the data provided by the problem, and making sure that our calculators are set to "degree" mode, as we are using degrees, we now see that:
As seen on the drawing, Bx, the x component of vector is negative.
Write vectors and in component form:
The numbers in front of the unit vectors and represent the x and y components of vector .
The angle made by vector with the positive x axis is:

City of OKC says: Lighten up on the lawn fertilizer
Residents asked to lighten up on fertilizer
With summer upon us, many Oklahoma City residents are turning to fertilizer to grow lush, green lawns. Unfortunately this stimulant can impair the health of the City's lakes and streams when it's allowed to wash down neighborhood storm drains.
"Local studies indicate that many homeowners unknowingly over apply fertilizer on their lawns," Environmental Protection Manager Raymond Melton said. "This can lead to polluted waterways."
According to an EPA study released recently, more than half of the rivers and streams in the U.S. are in poor biological health. The most widespread problem was high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen washing into rivers and streams from farms, cities, and sewers. High levels of phosphorus — a common ingredient in fertilizers — were found in 40 percent of rivers and streams.
Here are some other helpful tips when fertilizing:
- Have your soil tested. Use the results to identify your lawn's needs to maximize productivity and identify deficiencies. Adjusting your soil pH and fertilizer application will result in a healthier lawn.
- Apply fertilizer during dry weather and wet the ground using controlled watering.
- Fertilize on a day with little or no wind to reduce drift, sweep any excess fertilizer out of the street and back into your grass.
- Bag or mulch excess yard trimmings from sidewalks and driveways to reduce fertilizer and pesticides attached to the clippings from blowing into the storm drains or washing away during the next rain.
- Avoid overwatering. Overwatering can increase the nitrogen loss by 5 to 11 times compared to slow delivery rates.
- Consider mulching to reduce the need to fertilize. Grass blades decompose quickly and can contain about 4 percent nitrogen, 1 percent phosphorus and 2 percent potassium.
- Store unused fertilizer in a dry area not exposed to rainfall or runoff.
- Consider alternative grass such as buffalo grass.
- Never throw grass clipping into curblines, storm drains, channels or creeks. Improperly disposed plant materials can cause serious water quality problems and may clog storm drainages.
- Recycle your leftover fertilizer and pesticides at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1621 S. Portland.

Men may be more likely than women to see knee doctors for ACL injuries
July 10, 2012
Topic: knee doctors
New research published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are more common among men than they are among women, as reported by Reuters Health. These findings come after years of research suggesting that the knees of women were more vulnerable to these injuries.
ACL sprains and tears are among the most common injuries that need attention from knee doctors, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Such mishaps may be the result of activities that require rapid direction changes, sudden stops or incorrect landing on a jump. Sports commonly associated with ACL injuries include soccer, football and basketball.
In order to investigate ACL injuries within the general population - and not just among at-risk groups, such as athletes - a team of researchers collected data on nearly 57,000 individuals in Sweden who tore a knee ligament.
Results showed that 60 percent of injuries and 59 percent of reconstructive surgeries occurred in men. Other findings showed that women tended to sustain these injuries between the ages of 11 and 20, while men experienced mishaps between ages 21 and 30.
"I am right now studying if reconstruction of the cruciate ligament prevents development of osteoarthritis," study author Richard Nordenvall told the news source.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

|Oaksterdam founder Richard Lee at Tuesday's protest in San Francisco against Monday's federal raids in Oakland
More links from around the web!
No offense meant, but when you name your "medical" facility after a coffee shop and the area of Holland known for an illicit drug trade, then you're probably going to get busted. Not only that, but you've ruined all the hard work real medical professionals have put into the medical cannabis community.
Sorry, but I do not feel bad for a profiteer like Richard Lee getting busted. The sooner the greedy bastards get out of the biz, the sooner the rest of society will start to regard medical cannabis as legit.
We thank you for your help Richard and we will keep at this. The public is waking up in masses....
-Oaksterdam Alum, class of 08-
Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so, Excellent post!
The feds are playing Whack-A-Mole. They're going after the biggest financial backers first, to kneecap the pro-cannabis movement's funding, thereby weakening the opposition trying to repeal of this insane waste of resources.
It's Syria in slow-motion, and without the guns. The feds - using the money we give them - are spending millions to undermine and negate any progress in removing cannabis prohibition state by state. They're using funds illegally to campaign against the lifting of cannabis prohibition, and in cases like this they use actual military force against peaceful businesses that contribute the most to the cause.
No matter which angle we try in our efforts to bring sanity to this issue the feds block it or stonewall us. They will not allow Democracy to work when it comes to cannabis - they repeatedly thwart the will of the people, illegally, immorally, and blatantly. Where are all the lawyers who actually work FOR THE PEOPLE instead of for the government??
Democracy is the governing of the people by the people for the people.
There is NO authority granted the federal (feral?) government to prohibit the growing of a plant. They just assumed that power, and since nobody could afford to challenge this assumption in the courts nor had the financial incentive to do so, the assumption stands.
Kind of like the assumption that aspirin is a safe medicine - even though it's never been FDA approved, kills hundreds every year and can be bought by a kindergarten age child in any grocery store in the U.S. for around a dollar.
Where's the D.E.A. when aspirin kills another kid? Where were those as*munch no-dick liars when were were being poisoned by Vioxx?
Seems their "concern" for our "well being" stops when it's not profitable for them.
Regardless of people's position on the issue, they should be able to recognize the truth in what he says. The feds are wrong on this issue, everybody knows it, they don't seem to want to change, what now?
Since we are being driven back to the stone age, I'm glad I never gave up my black market connection.
Another one Bites the Dust !!
Stoners always talk tough ... until the Feds arrive ... then they cut and run faster than a Republican caught with their pants down in a gay pornhouse.
Never Make the statement that State law trumps Federal law On The History Channel . Because the truth will Bite You. Actually the IRS got Him. When you profit in an illegal Drug , You are Not allowed to Deduct your Expenses .. You can only Report your SALES .
Ahh, this is incredibly sad news. I love seeing Lee on documentaries, he's such a great advocate, but I understand his frustration and why he wants to step down. Shame on you Obama and your hoodlum of DEA agents. The war against marijuana prohibition is a war of human rights... keep tokin'
Your quiting....thats like telling the government they won...I give up.......sad to see.
I wouldnt want to be in a wheelchair in a federal pen.....I wouldnt want to be in the federal pen period
Pass the tourch....I'm sure some young bloods will carry it now!!!
Its time for the people to finally stand up to the DEA, the Asst AGs, and every other Reefer Madness driven elected and appointed official. Its time they lived with the fears and apprehensions that cannabis users medical and recreational have felt for all these years due to their unfounded disease Reefer Madness.. Enough is a fucking enough Obama you fucking hypocrite.
Johnny Hemp Seed - Keep on Keepin On!
I guess this is what happens when you choose medical over recreational. It needs to be legal for everyone over the age of 18 or 21. Not just the chosen ones. Fighting back is great and all, but first you have to have a battle plan, and no one has put one together yet. The time to fight back was when the bust was going down, not days or weeks later. Both ends of the street should have been blocked off with supporters cars, license plates removed and keys pulled out and locked up and cars abandoned for the day.
Richard, bless your heart for fighting for the noble cause of legalization. I'm still bitter that the "too cool for legalization" crowd sabotaged your worthy efforts to end the persecution of recreational users in California in 2010. To those hated on you and betrayed your cause because they thought that they were being all sophisticated and hip peddling their conspiracy theories against legalization. But they really sided with fascist drug warriors against your efforts. Hell is too good a place for these Drug War collaborators. I wish you all the best, Richard. You are true blue and you deserved so much better. Thank you and God Bless You from the bottom of my heart.
Kudos to Richard Lee for his many years of hard core advocacy and activism. Taking a break is a good thing. You do not leave soldiers in the field at the front lines indefinitely. You take them out of combat and give them some rest and recuperation (R & R). Richard has logged in 20 years. He deserves a break. There is a huge community in Oakland that can pick up the sword (or stalk?) and march on undaunted.
Please take the time out to call or write the White House to register your anger over these stupid raids. It makes a difference and only takes a minute or two. Every right winger calls, you can bet on that. We need to be on record that we oppose these wasteful raids against decent and well run operations.
For the FEDS to beat up on a man in a wheel chair, is shameful! This is a sad day for AMERICANS!
Thank you for all you've done. I look forward to celebrating with you once we've won the war.
Read the LA Times article, Lee says he's giving up ownership of the businesses, not that he is ceasing involvement in cannabis politics:
"Until he knows whether he has to mount a legal defense, Lee said, he plans to work on a book and a television series about his career. "I think the nationwide coverage of the raid shows that there is a story here that a lot of people would like to see and like to hear about," he said.
Lee also said he would consider helping legalization efforts in other states: "This may free me up to be able to go campaign.""
I understand Richard's position and why he is making this choice. However, based on the timing, I think it is a terrible idea and very damaging to the movement.
If the Feds can bully our biggest leaders into submission, where does that leave everyone else? Tucking your tail and running in the face of this unjust intimidation only lets them know their bully tactics are working- tremendously well, in fact. It would have been better if he quit before this or after the dust settled. But to quit days after the raid sends a strong message to the Feds and only encourages them. This is a huge mistake.
We either need to make a real stand and bring this thing to a head, or concede that the Feds are not going to back off and that our cause is lost.
I don't really understand what he can be charged with for the school. I can understand charges for the dispensary and grow op, but what exactly does the school do that is illegal? It seems to me that there isn't even anything the IRS could do about the school.
This is another reason why it is important to vote yes on the legalization initiatives in the various states. Once this becomes mainstream and legal we wont have this kind of stupidity going on any more. The govt will continue to target safe medical access until it becomes legal and it is too overwhelming to do anything about it. For the people who have medical access now and think why would I want to vote yes, your dispensary or your medical use may be the next target. Lets get it legal and lets contribute to the legalization campaigns so they can be successful. The time truly is now!
Please don't give up Richard. We have your 6, we are so close, lets blow this death star, so we can all go home.
Just don't give up. You are very powerful, by just not giving up you are powerful. Please?
if there was no raid, do you still think he would have said it was time to quit? very sad, indeed.
That made me cry:(
@Jay Roller Richard Lee spent more than $1.5 million out of his pocket trying to pass Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana in California in 2010 so how can you call him a greedy bastard are you mentally ill?
What now? How about we fight harder! We cannot take a rest now, the battle for the end to the prohibition is getting closer, and that is why the feds are stepping up their attack on our freedoms.Write letters to your newspapers, and your government representatives asking for all to support the end of the prohibition, and to legalize cannabis/marijuana to be produced, sold, and consumed.America needs this now in more ways than one.
What now? Steve Deangelo & harborside next.it would be nice to see all these medpot charlatan " activist wannabes " gone for good. Full legalization for all adults 21 and up is the only way!
Grow your Own !
Only problem with that is the Republican only gets "outed" and is free to live another day outside, the stoner gets put "in" the local prison, that's why they run "faster".
and the feds are chicken shit panty wastes that shoot dogs, storm houses armed for war, handcuff and hold children at gunpoint, and lock people up for years all over a plant. Face the facts, if it wasn't for the wasting of billions of OUR tax dollars, incompetent dolts like you wouldn't be able to find gainful employment. Luckily for you, stupidity is still legal.
This reminds me of what happens to that idiot Luke scarmazzo from the California health collective in Modesto. The moron posted a a rap video telling the feds to fuck off and they put his assimilated fed pen for 20 +.
Next Target = Harborside and the Pig-tailed Freak.
Battleplan? How about NOT voting for these politicians unless they STOP arresting OUR sons and daughters...and wasting precious tax dollars to fund these idiots!
Oh well...at least Richard will have some great thoughts in his speeches and book! Best of Luck Richard and Thanks for lighting the way !!!
Rich Lee has made his millions, time to retire.
Please, cut Richard some slack. He's facing possible federal charges....in a federal court....where he has no defense (he will NOT be allowed to say, "hey, I was operating under prop 215, doing everything I can to be legal. Nope, sorry about that chief). I don't blame him one bit. I wish him a peacefull, happy retirement. He deserves it.
It's illegal to just give growing advice to someone, much less educating masses on how to do it.
How about conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance?
I agree with you but there is no way in hell I will vote for fake legalization and a DUID offense being added to the criminal code. Not without a valid, proven and tested scientific test that proves cannabis impairment.
I hope a hundred rise up where Richard left off. Take a stand, educate with the truth about cannabis being good for ailments, or to relax with friends. Take time to tell your government representation to put a stop to the prohibition.
i have the highest respect for Richard Lee as he has accomplished alot. This war is far from over. This is exactly what Haag and the DEA wanted. They will think that they can intimidate anyone now.
I think the answer to that ? is an obvious and resounding NO. The stigmatization of cannabis use and users needs to end, ONCE and FOR ALL!...
Made others laugh.
Please stop attacking those who are on your side in the medical marijuana position. This is exactly what the feds want. Can't you see that. If you can't say anything nice about the medical pot industry, don't say anything. Continue to speak against the prohibition with them as a brother in arms. We can be united on this point, and need to be.
Why is marijuana so dangerous that adults age 18-20 should be denied access to it ?
Some day, but for now I guess I'll support the underground marketplace. Hey, street dealers have to eat too!
It's not wise or prudent to say "fuck off" to your nazi dictator regime slave owners.
Huge party will go down after Steve d enterprises goes down next.
Thats a wonderful idea, not really a battle plan though. But the people on the other side of our fence will vote for "these politicians" whether we do or not.
Guess we all know the risks when we accept them.....
Glad to see we finally can agree on something.. about damn time old man. No voting for "FAKE LEGALIZATION" with a switch of the criminal code elements of guilt.
You can use all you want if you have nothing in life to do but, rely on those whom don't use cannabis to drive you every place you need to go using a motorized vehicle on any road which requires a license and others safety. How long you been driving without any accident due to being impaired by cannabis use ?? 40 yrs +or - some ?
Sad what just happened to Lee.. same thing happened to the prince of pot.. political BS of legalization funding in the US.
Why are not the funders and backers of I-502 not being attacked in such a way for the same legalization funding. ??????????????????????????
Others as in donkey hokey pokey?
Still trolling eh Donkey Hotay?

These burns are often called "prescribed burns" because they are used to improve the health of the field. What tools do farmers need for a burn? To keep the fire contained, farmers need to clear away burnable matter around the edges of the field, which usually requires a lawn mower or larger machinery. The burn itself can be managed with some simple, specific tools. Southtown Project To Preserve & Feed DIY Punk By Rachel Otwell • May 18, 2015 Rachel Otwell / WUIS / Illinois Issues Listen Listening... / 20:55 Listen to the interview about the Southtown Project with Brandon Carnes & Brian Galecki (thanks to Carnes for recording this in his South Town Studio) If you're not sure what exactly "Southtown" is – imagine you're driving down South Grand Avenue in Springfield toward Rochester.

State Week: Madigan Moves on Rauner's Right-to-Work Policy By Bill Wheelhouse, Amanda Vinicky, Brian Mackey & Charles N. Wheeler III • May 15, 2015 ilga.gov This week, Illinois House Democrats defeated Governor Rauner's "Right to Work" agenda. Also, with the Illinois Supreme Court's decision last week, the future of state pension funding is still in question. Where You Grow Up Affects Whether You Can Get Out Of Poverty By Maureen Foertsch McKinney • May 15, 2015 Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren / Harvard A recent study showed that children who grow up in poverty have a better shot at economic mobility depending on where they live. The study, by economists Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren of Harvard University, was based on earning records for millions of families and is part of an ongoing effort called The Equality of Opportunity Project. "We show that the area in which a child grow up has significant causal effects on her prospects for upward mobility," the report states. ISBE Considers Changing The Way It Spreads The Pain By Dusty Rhodes • May 15, 2015 Dusty Rhodes / WUIS-Illinois Issues Listen Listening... / 0:46 LISTEN to the story.... These days, it seems like every agency in Illinois is complaining about cutbacks. Public school officials, however, are seasoned veterans, having seen the state slash their funding repeatedly over the past few years. Now, they argue how the pain is distributed. House Turns Down Governor's Right-To-Work Turnaround By Amanda Vinicky • May 15, 2015 WUIS/Illinois Issues Illinois Democrats have knocked one of the new Republican governor's top priorities down to an easy defeat. The Illinois House yesterday voted against Bruce Rauner's notion of local right-to-work zones. The issue is highly contentious on its own. But a broader division was also at play. Before we get to the right-to-work debate, it's important to rewind some. The Scene: Yona Stamatis Talks Symphony + Downtown Festivals By Rachel Otwell • May 14, 2015 WUIS Tune in this week. Scott Faingold of the Illinois Times and Rachel are joined by Yona Stamatis, a professor of ethnomusicology at UIS and violinist for the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and her student, Christina Shao, who will play the song of the week: Events & other items discussed this week include: New Pension Fixes May Emerge; Rauner Considering Ideas That "Haven't Been Brought Forward Yet" By Amanda Vinicky • May 14, 2015 Zach Bernard New ways to tackle Illinois' underfunded pension systems could be emerging, as the Republican governor appears to be backing away from his plan. There's good reason many lawmakers are feeling flummoxed. Illinois' budget is already sagging. And with last week's state Supreme Court decision tossing a major pension law, the deficit is larger still. The court decision was unequivocal - it's not constitutional to cut state employees' retirement benefits. Let's Talk Kids - "Quality and Quantity" By Claudia Quigg • May 14, 2015 mattpenning.com 2010 / WUIS/Illinois Issues A recent study quantified the hours spent by moms and dads with their children aged 3-12 during the years 1965-2010. In 1965, moms spent 10.5 hours each week engaged with their kids and dads spent 2.6 hours each week engaged with their kids. In 2010, moms spent an average of 13.7 hours each week and dads spent 7.2 hours. The study concluded that mothers spending more time with children is not necessarily linked to kids' success. House Panel Debates Legality Of Rauner Pension Plan By Jamey Dunn • May 14, 2015 Amanda Vinicky The Illinois House held its first hearing on Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposal to address the state's unfunded pension liability. Under the governor's plan, employees would keep all the retirement benefits they have logged so far, but would see a cut to their benefits going forward. Democrats on the House's pension committee said last week's Illinois Supreme Court opinion, overturning pension changes passed two years ago, rules out that idea. Research Connection Could Help Answer Questions About Rural Cancer By Grant Gerlock • May 14, 2015 Just over a year ago, Tracy Dethlefs learned she has stage 1 breast cancer. Since then, she estimates she's charted some 10,000 miles travelling from her farm near Loup City in central Nebraska to area hospitals for treatment. Every surgery, round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment was a road trip. "Radiation treatments usually (take) only about 5 minutes (on) a day that they have to see you," Dethlefs said. "But for a week, for seven weeks in a row, you're driving every single day to the cancer treatment center. We're about an hour away from cancer centers." Madigan Nudges Right-To-Work Issue; House To Vote Today By Amanda Vinicky • May 14, 2015 Amanda Vinicky Gov. Bruce Rauner's right-to-work proposal will get a hearing today in the Illinois House. Unions are putting pressure on lawmakers to vote against the proposal. Though the Illinois House is set to vote on the Republican governor's idea of local right-to-work zones, it's not because Rauner's pushing for a vote. Gov. Rauner unveiled the concept in late January, during an appearance in Decatur, and has talked about it a lot since. But no actual legislation's been introduced. There are only weeks left in the legislative session. Amtrak Director: Train Reduction "Unavoidable" If Budget's Cut By Amanda Vinicky • May 13, 2015 Amanda Vinicky/WUIS The former chairman of Amtrak told Illinois lawmakers Wednesday that service cuts are inevitable should Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposed 40 percent funding cut takes effect. Fifty-six Amtrak trains run daily in Illinois. They run from Chicago to St. Louis, to Carbondale, to Quincy and up to Milwaukee, and more travelers are riding them. Amtrak's former chairman Thomas Carper says he can't say how many, or which of those routes will be dropped. But he says that will happen if Illinois doesn't come through with about $42 million. Illinois State Museum Names Building After Late Public Official By Lisa Ryan • May 13, 2015 Lisa Ryan/WUIS The Illinois State Museum, located next to the statehouse in Springfield, is being renamed for the late U.S. Sen. Alan Dixon. Dixon passed away last year, but he left behind a legacy of service and the ability to work in a bipartisan manner. Several Illinois leaders gathered for the dedication ceremony. House Speaker Michael Madigan started as a state representative in 1971, when Dixon was a state senator. "He was always a joy to be with," Madigan said. "Always a laugh, old story, reminiscing about whatever it may be which concerned a bottle of beer." Republicans Oppose Democrats' Budget Process By Lisa Ryan • May 13, 2015 flickr/dborman Illinois House Democrats continued to advance budget means that would restore funding to human services programs that the governor proposes cutting. Republicans continue to question Democrats' motive. They say it's more of a partisan play than a real budget vote. GOP Rep. Ron Sandack from Downers Grove complained that the measures did not go through typical budget procedures. "We gotta get past this and actually engage in a budget process that's inclusive, bipartisan and actually moves the needle," Sandack said. "This does nothing but waste time." Charter Schools: Conversation With An Expert By Dusty Rhodes • May 13, 2015 Dan LoGrasso / WUIS All signs point to more charter schools in our future.

Illinois Leads The Way For Historical Renovations By Rachel Otwell • May 13, 2015 IHPA If you live in Springfield, you may have noticed there's a lot of empty space downtown that goes unused. But some people are trying to change that, by rehabbing historic buildings and turning them into residential space or businesses. Illinois tops the lists of states that used a federal tax incentive to rehab buildings that are privately owned and on the list of historical sites. Projects last year include an overhaul of Chicago's Wrigley Building, and Peoria's Hotel Pere Marquette. Carol Dyson is a tax incentives coordinator and architect with the state's historic preservation agency. Yes!

That brings to 11 the number of counties where white-nose syndrome has been confirmed since it was first found in Illinois two years ago. Named for the white fungus that appears on the animals' noses, the disease was first detected in New York in 2006. It's extremely lethal, killing 90 percent or more of hibernating bats in some caves. Cullerton Wants Reconsideration of Pension Consideration By Amanda Vinicky • May 12, 2015 Brian Mackey/NPR Illinois Even though John Cullerton went along with the pension law that on Friday was found by the state's high court to be unconstitutional, the Illinois Senate President had always favored another approach. Now he's saying (well, not exactly in these exact words ... ) "I told you so." In this episode of The Players -- a podcast about who's who in Illinois politics and what they're up to -- Amanda Vinicky spoke with the Senate's top Democrat about his plans to try again. Businesses V. Victims In Tort Battle By Amanda Vinicky • May 12, 2015 For the second time in as many weeks, the Illinois House today held a special hearing known as a committee on the whole, centered on part of Gov. Bruce Rauner's "Turnaround Agenda" -- this time, centered on what business interests call "tort reform." Critics say it's tort deform. On Stage This Week: Roger McGuinn Of The Byrds By Sean Crawford • May 12, 2015 Sangamon Auditorium As the founder of The Byrds, Roger McGuinn is firmly established as an indisputable industry icon. From his signature twelve-string Rickenbacker sound to his instantly recognizable vocals on hits like "Turn, Turn, Turn," "Eight Miles High" and "Mr. Tambourine Man," McGuinn didn't just make music; he made history.

The most attractive aspect of choosing an ISA over any other type of savings account is that you are exempt from paying tax on any interest or profit you make.
ISAs themselves are split into two main types: cash and investment. If you want to squirrel your money away risk-free a Cash ISA - hopefully with a decent amount of interest - could be the best option.
On the other hand, Investment ISAs come with a certain amount of risk - but also the potential for greater gains.
What is a self select ISA?
There are two primary types of Investment ISAs which you can think about investing your hard-earned cash in - fund ISAs and self-select ISAs.
Fund ISAs let you put money into OEICs, Unit Trusts and Investment Trusts which manage your investments for you via the fund manager.
You still have the potential for major gains but you can only invest in funds which are tied to the account, and they'll charge a fee.
A self select stocks and shares ISA is a more advanced option. As well as the option to invest in selected funds they'll give you a share dealing account for buying stocks and shares; the big difference is it will be you deciding where to invest on a trade-by-trade basis.
With individual stocks and shares you'll get to keep 100% of whatever gains you make, the downside is that you don't benefit from a fund's expertise or protection.
Any funds you choose to invest in will still charge their fees as normal.
How much can you invest?
The amount you can invest will vary between ISA providers, with some allowing you to start with any amount and others requiring an initial minimum lump sum of up to £1,000 to open an account.
Once you have set one up you will have the option to invest monthly via a direct debit - how much depends on your budget.
The maximum you can invest in a single tax year is £15,240 (or less if you've paid into a Cash ISA).
How to compare self select ISA deals
The independence given by self select ISAs is great if you want control over where you put your money. However, the responsibility is also yours and you should think carefully about which self select ISA providers best suit your needs.
To work out what the best ISA providers are, you should think about what you want to invest in.
Different accounts offer different options, and depending on who you go with you'll be offered the chance to invest in a range of funds, shares, investment trusts and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
It's because of this wide range of investment opportunities that you need to be confident you know what you're doing.
Once you've checked you can make the investments you want, compare account charges to find the best stocks and shares ISA provider.
Self select share ISA charges
When you make a self select ISA comparison you will need to consider the charges associated with each one.
Some companies charge a regular fee, which could be quarterly, for making investments, while others won't.
Generally you won't be charged for buying and selling funds, but the fund itself will still charge management fees.
However, some self select platforms offer to discount those fees on certain funds. Make sure those discounts will work for you.
When it comes to share dealing you probably will be charged per trade. Compare charges per ISA and also consider how many trades you're likely to make - prices are often based on the amount of deals you made the previous month (the more you made, the cheaper each one will be).
Make sure you compare each provider's terms carefully to know exactly how much you could be charged.
Decide what to invest in
It can be tricky to know what to invest in with self select stocks and shares ISAs, which is why some companies provide tools to help you decide.
These can work out what your attitude to risk is and what you want to achieve, and therefore what you'd be better off investing in.
Self select ISA providers may also offer you the opportunity to invest in portfolios, based again on risk or a theme, such as emerging or more developed markets, which you can then tailor.
Long term ISA investments
If you are considering taking on a self select stocks and shares ISA it's important to remember that these should be seen as long term options.
You should only commit if you can be confident you can invest your savings for a number of years and not need to access them in the meantime. If you are looking for short term savings options, a Cash ISA might still be the best bet for you.
If it's a longer term opportunity you're after, which offers the chance for great gains, fund or self select ISAs provide that possibility.
You can find out more by reading our guide Your top 10 ISA questions answered.

"CHANDLER, ARIZONA" Chandler by DarleneCMF
Chandler Travel Guide: 62 reviews and 106 photos
I was in Chandler for 4 months in 2003 and 3 months in 2004, both for business trips.
Chandler is a well-planned city. All the major roads are in square grids so it's really easy place to navigate. It has a booming local economy - new buildings and subdivision are being constructed.
I was there in the height of summer, where it got 112F - the hottest temperature I experienced ever.
- Pros:amazing sunsets
- Cons:very hot in the summer months

Student Assessment in Tennessee
Annual assessments play a key role in the teaching and learning process, and they are critical to ensure that all students are meeting higher standards and are making progress on their path to postsecondary and the workforce. TNReady, the new TCAP for math and English language arts, was designed to provide Tennessee students, teachers, and families with better information about what students know and understand.
While the law requires annual state testing, we find ourselves in an unusual and unique circumstance due to the inability of our testing vendor, Measurement Incorporated, to deliver a reliable testing platform. Effective immediately, the state is terminating the assessment contract with Measurement Incorporated.
High school testing will continue as planned, but the department is suspending TNReady Part II TCAP testing for grades 3–8.
If districts have received materials for a complete grade or subject in grades 3-8 (i.e. fifth-grade math), they will have the option to administer that specific grade or subject level; however, the department will only be able to deliver limited student performance information for these particular grades and subjects. Please contact your district to see if this option applies to your child's school.
High school tests will be fully scored, and these results will be delivered later this fall.
Terminating our contract with MI was a challenging decision because we've been working to honor the effort and investment of Tennessee teachers and students. The failure of this vendor has let us all down, especially the hard working teachers and students of our state.
The department is currently working with the state's Central Procurement Office to expedite the selection of a vendor for both the scoring of this year's high school assessment and the development of next year's test. The department has also been in close contact with the United States Department of Education to ensure that Tennessee is in compliance with federal requirements.
Additional information will be shared as soon as possible. In the meantime, please reference this FAQ document, which provides detailed information about how this announcement will impact our teachers, schools, and districts.

Buckley, Ellie
RAU conducted this survey at the request of the Interim University Librarian. The purpose was to determine the extent to which student workers feel working in the library has improved their academic experience. A majority (84%) of Library student workers indicated that they are satisfied to very satisfied with their library job. Most respondents felt that working in the Library improved their study/research practices (68%), improved their knowledge of library services (98%), and improved their educational experience in other ways (80%), and nearly one-third (32%) felt that it helped their grades. Most (79%) think that library should expand student job opportunities. See full report for cautions interpreting the data.

Hi all,
Running site http://www.vanhoutenfs.nl. Used a text widget in the footer. Just displaying the title, no details. The idea is to link from the text to a page. So when the link is clicked, the page is displayed. That is, that's the plan. The question is how do I do this? Or is there an easier way to link from a text in the footer to a page?

1. Apply two coats of a neutral background coat. Katie used Butter London's Cuppa.
2. Create larger dots with a dotting tool or bobby pin in a grey tone.
3. Once dry, dab your preferred candy colours over the larger dots. Katie used a selection from Butter London's Sweetie Shop range
4. Apply a top coat and add cuticle oil for extra gloss.
5. Don't forget to clean-up around the nails with acetone using a lip or concealer brush.

Actress Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black) and writer-director Wiebke von Carolsfeld (Marion Bridge) share a mutual passion: telling women's stories.
"I was really compelled by Wiebke's journey," says Schilling of their new collaboration, the Idomestic drama Stay. "She'd been nurturing this project for 10 years and I thought, 'Here's someone who's really excited about telling this story, There'll be some good juju attached to that."
Stay, which is loosely based on the novel by Aislinn Hunter, had themes that intrigued von Carolsfeld, mainly because she felt they hadn't been adequately or accurately tackled on film before. The frank discussion of whether or not Schilling's character Abby -- a young Canadian women living with her much older lover in rural Ireland -- feels ready to be a mother after finding out she's accidentally pregnant is central to what makes the quiet film feel practically bold in its premise.
"There are very few women filmmakers, so topics that are pertinent to females tend to not make it onto the screen," explains von Carolsfeld. "And if they do, they're considered not as exciting. The conflicted feeling of motherhood is not something that's comfortable to think about, because what if our own mother felt that way?"
Schilling agrees and admits to feeling starved for films that fully explore what are often seen as "alternative" lifestyle choices for women. "I think that women's roles are still pretty well-defined. The ideas of what a woman is and what a woman should be and what that life path looks like are still pretty rigid. Even though we've come a long way, there's still quite a long way to go. So there are little elements that we don't talk about as much. I certainly relate to that. Do you even want to have children? That's a choice and it's a totally valid choice to not do it. But that doesn't get a lot of airplay."
The actress continues, "I think not wanting to be a mother or not being good at it is an experience that's right on the money for a lot of people. When it's talked about it, it gives everyone more breathing room to actually do what feels right to them."
But that type of honest conversation about women's lives isn't always an easy sell, claims von Carolsfeld. In fact, it's proven to be an obstacle to getting her projects financed over the years. "Even if women get to make films, we get to make them on a lower budget. I think part of why it took me so long to make Stay is because I'm a female director and because it's a female-driven story for women. I'm very clear on that. I want to make movies essentially for myself, and that's partly because I feel there are not enough movies out there for me."
Although a relative newcomer to the entertainment industry, Schilling says she's already noticed the gender imbalance behind the camera and finds it baffling. "I've definitely noted that there aren't many female directors. I just don't see projects with women at the helm all that much. That was something that attracted me to Stay. That's something I love about Orange is the New Black as well -- it's created by so many powerful women. Who can look at either of these projects and not think that women have something valid to say about their lives?"
"It's a little strange because in literature it's not like that," adds von Carolsfeld. "There are lots of books written by women and for women. There's a lot more choice. In cinema we just don't have the choice, and it has to do with the idea that women's stories don't make money."
The director does feel that a change may be on the horizon though, even if it's slow going. "I do know that there are people in positions of power who are starting to think about what can be done. But something really has to shift because it's not like women aren't in film school and it's not like we're not trying. It's just that we don't get the same opportunities. It's as simple as that."
However, despite the current bleak outlook, both von Carolsfeld and Schilling are hopeful that the very act of talking about the problem will inspire the industry to reassess its views on films made by and for women.
The director maintains that it remains a bit of an uphill battle though. "It's funny because people don't really want to talk about it. I've had other women get angry with me for bringing it up, sort of like, don't go there. But I'm already there."
It may be one hell of a fight, says Schilling, but she's confident that things are changing for the better. "There are so many talented women out there. It's just a matter of finding them and getting the industry to acknowledge how amazing they are. I have to believe that will happen."
Stay opens on March 21.

The wrestling skills of Tori Adams and the motivation of coach Scott Tankersley brought her four state individual titles and two national titles to Caprock.
Four years removed from the mats in the Caprock gymnasium, Adams is asking Tankersley for guidance again. This time, however, the stakes are higher.
This weekend in Indianapolis, Adams is wrestling for a spot on the first women's Olympic wrestling team. Tankersley again will be at her side.
Two years ago, the International Olympic Committee approved women's wrestling for this summer's games in Athens, Greece.
To qualify for the lone spot in the 138.5-pound weight class, Adams will have to win three matches. Starting Friday, the top eight wrestlers in the class will compete in the three-day, single-elimination tournament. Seed Nos. 2 through 8 will wrestle Friday and Saturday for a shot to wrestle U.S. Nationals Champion Christie Marano in Sunday's final and a berth in the Olympics.
"It's kind of hard to explain how I felt (when it was announced women would be allowed to wrestle in the Olympics)," Adams said. "I was excited and shocked at the same time. I never thought they would have women's wrestling when I started so long ago. I remember being the only girl and now it is an Olympic sport. It's amazing, and I thank God daily that I am able to be part of something like this."
Adams, seeded seventh, has been training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., for the past 22 months. With the window closing on her physical preparation time last week, Adams focused on her mental preparation.
She called Tankersley and asked him to stand in her corner during the qualifying matches. Tankersley said he would do it.
"When she comes home, she usually comes by and visits, picking my brain for advice. One of my greatest strengths is motivation and mental skills," Tankersley said. "Tori wanted to be trained in mental skills so she could have the total package. For example, we went over Chi, Yi and Jing, which are Chinese mental skills.
Aiming For Athens
Former Caprock wrestler Tori Adams will try to win four matches in three days this weekend at the U.S. Women's Olympic Wrestling Trials and earn a spot on the Olympic squad.
"Chi is what you feel inside your body when you execute a move. Yi is your intent or aim. You focus on a specific area while you attack it. You mix your aim (Yi) with your internal energy (Chi) and direct it to a specific point. When your Yi is mixed with your own energy or Chi, the power that was issued is what we call, 'Jing."'
At the Olympic Training Center, Adams trains under Keith Wilson, an alternate in Greco-Roman in the 1996 Olympics. After a recent trip to Amarillo, Wilson suggested Adams invite Tankersley to the trials.
"I am internally motivated most of the time, and so it is hard for me to find someone that can motivate me. But Tank is the one who can," Adams said. "I was in town last weekend for a funeral and my coach from Colorado was with me. I went to do some mental training with Tank, and I was so fired up when I was done, Keith told me, 'You need to get Tank to go. It will be good for you."'
Adams wrestled two seasons for Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo., where she won an NAIA national title in 2002. But when the IOC announced women's wrestling would be a part of the 2004 Olympics and opened the Olympic Training Center to female wrestlers, Adams jumped at the chance.
She moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., started training 10 hours a day and taking online college courses at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Amarillo College.
Caprock assistant coach T.J. Johnson said he is never surprised by Tori's successes on the mat.
He said she is one of the most focused athletes he has been around.
"It's strange when a young girl has that kind of motivation and ambition," Johnson said. "I think when she was here, sometimes she would look around at other girls and not understand why they didn't have the same goals and ambitions. We'd have to cool her down a little bit and say, 'Tori, not everyone wants to go to the Olympics. Not everyone wants to be a champion."
As the No. 7 seed, Adams will battle a tough draw at the trials. Tankersley said it wouldn't surprise him if Adams found a way to win the spot. But if she doesn't, it won't change how he feels about her.
"Regardless of what happens, I'll be proud of her," Tankersley said. "I remember when I coached her at the state and national tournament, it was the journey or the destination that made it worthwhile. For Tori, the final result is not as important as the process.
"She has worked so hard ever since she was a kid and she knows how to get there. Regardless of the level of competition, I have so much confidence in her. She knows what she has to do."

State lawmakers return to the capitol today for a hearing on Medicaid expansion.
The Senate committee hearing this morning comes after the governor hit the road-- holding town hall meetings, urging residents to call their senators to force them to vote on it. Robo-calls supporting the expansion were also placed in the districts of Republican senators who opposed the bill. The plan would expand Medicaid to 470,000 low income Michigan residents.
The house passed the Medicaid expansion last month. It then stalled in the senate.
If passed, it would bring in more than $200 million in federal money to the state. The federal government will also pay for 100% of the expansion through 2017. The financial support would decline to 90% by 2020.
We will have a crew at the capital today and will have a full report tonight on News 10 at 5.

Gender differences in promotion on a job ladder: Evidence from Finnish metalworkers
This paper, using panel data on Finnish metalworkers for the years 1990-2000, explores gender differences in the allocation of workers across jobs of different complexity. The data provide measures for the complexity of the workers' tasks and for the individual productivity of each worker. The results indicate that women were less likely to be promoted than men who started their careers in similar tasks. A productivity comparison shows that there was no gender-related productivity differential at the time of the initial assignment, but that women became, on average, more productive than men afterward, in the subsets both of promoted workers and of non-promoted workers. The most plausible interpretation of these results, the authors argue, is that women faced a higher promotion threshold than men. Consistent with this interpretation, they find that the quit rate for young female workers was higher than that for young men.

Eskimo Joe's — food, fun and apparel
STILLWATER — The restaurant famed for its cheese fries, burgers and animated characters is still offering a unique atmosphere for all ages.
Eskimo Joe's, 501 W Elm in Stillwater, opened July 21, 1975, by Stan Clack and Steve File, originally opened as a bar.
It wasn't until 1984, when the legal drinking age was raised from 18 to 21, that Joe's became a full-service restaurant.
Clark, who is now the sole owner of Joe's, said File created the name, while Clark was a little leery. But that all changed when the logo was created.
"Once we got our logo, it was designed by a freshman commercial art student, I fell in love with the name because it fit so well with 'Eskimo Joe' and 'Buffy,' " Clark said.
"The thing that I think is so special about it is that 'Eskimo Joe' has that great big smile and I think that can draw you in and its very warm feeling then of course it's a boy and his dog.
"That 'boy and his dog' theme has universal appeal. Whether or not you can read the words 'Eskimo Joe's' in the English language, I think that logo draws you in. The No. 1 seller is the Joe's special, which includes the famous burger and fresh cut fries.
"It's a simple menu but what we focus on is fresh food made from scratch," Clark said. "The idea of it being the best it can be in its category is what we're all about, so not necessarily the most complicated just good, simple foods prepared fresh.
Clark said people should come to Joe's because "they're going to have a good time."
"We're all about smiles here," Clark said. "It's our core product. You can buy a hamburger a lot of places but you can't replicate this experience anywhere. We're all about good times. I think anyone and everybody will find that they'll have a nice time at Eskimo Joe's."
The restaurant offers a variety of specials all week long including the Hump Day special, which offers $4 domestic beer pitchers. Food specials change from month to month, Clark said.
Inside the building also is a store where patrons can buy a variety of Eskimo Joe's apparel.
