Keep toxins in the ground
Burning coal to produce electricity is unnecessary and dangerous. I live 30 miles downwind of OG&E's coal-fired power plant near Red Rock. The Sierra Club reports the plant has been emitting hundreds of pounds of poisonous mercury, tons of haze-making chemicals and thousands of tons of climate-changing carbon dioxide into the air for the past 35 years. We now have a layer of haze that lies on the horizon in every direction.
PSO recently reported new long-term wind contracts will save its customers $53 million in the first year. Meanwhile, OG&E continues to send millions of Oklahoma dollars to the Wyoming coal barons every year. The federal Production Tax Credit helped make the wind savings possible, but it was allowed to expire.
Nature placed those toxins in the ground. People no longer have to fling them into the air. Congress should care about life and health. It should restore the wind PTC. Oklahoma should be promoting its own economy and environment.

Photo of the Week: Guatemalan Juice Business Bears Fruit
January 10, 2014
TechnoServe helped Mónica Jacinto and the other women behind Kask'i increase their sales and create a better future for their families.
Mónica Jacinto once struggled to support herself and her four children. After her husband left, she sometimes went without food so that her children could eat. Determined to become financially independent, she joined an association of women from Guatemala's San Lucas Tolimán region. Together they started producing fruit juices using a simple blender and formed the business Kask'i.
TechnoServe helped the women of Kask'i improve their business and marketing skills, acquire better equipment and reach new markets. After working with TechnoServe, the business increased its production and began selling their product for a better price. The added income has helped Mónica provide her children with better food, clothes and an education without borrowing money or sacrificing her own well-being.
Learn more about our work with Kask'i.

Goa Hotels
Remember the days at school when at the end of every term you dreamt of a holiday destination the very name of which would breathe sea, sand and sun; where the bounding waves would create a relentless lull and the party around you would never end.
If you still think that such a place is fictitious, it is time for you to pay a visit to Goa, the gorgeous land blessed with a tropical climate, fun loving and hospitable people and above all a stunning sea. Snuggled in the western coast of India, Goa is one of the smallest of its states. Located in a region known as "Konkan", Goa is bound by the state of Maharashtra to the North, Karnataka to the East and South and the Arabian Sea in its Western Coast.
A former Portuguese enclave, Goa truly represents a potpourri of the oriental and occidental cultures, traditions and heritage. With its silvery palm fringed beaches, golden talcum sand and ravish parties that linger on till the wee hours of the morning, Goa casts an inebriating charm on all lovers of nature.
The ancient forts and Churches, mansions and Museums, temples and tombs along with the various carnivals that adorn the life of the fun loving Goans is sure to steal the hearts of all the tourists regardless of age, needs and aspirations.
Free from the 'rush culture' of city life, Goa also is a Haven for the adventure sports enthusiasts. Wind surfing, water skiing; sailing, water-scooters, and dolphin spotting cruises are only some of the exciting and adventurous sports that greet the tourists in every beach of Goa, thus adding an extra spring to its ever jubilant mood. The crux of the life of the Goans consists of food, dance, music and festivities.

This is my "cigar of choice". I smoke about a box (20) each month (maybe a few more) and I find the quality to vary from box to box. I find them to be good about 75% of the time. (and that is giving them the benefit of doubt)

Mobile clinic raises concernsFebruary 22,2013
NEWPORT Officials are concerned that a mobile methadone clinic in Vermont is not safe after a recent attempted robbery.
They feel the clinic, which parks each morning at the Newport city recycling center, isnt secure enough after a man approached a staffer last month at its nearby administrative headquarters. They say he demanded methadone and ran away without any after the staffer said she didnt have access to the drug, which is kept locked.
The Caledonian-Record reported that officials have suggested to the City Council that the treatment center be relocated to an office with a secured and locked entry.
Seven years ago, the city agreed to the mobile clinic. The idea initially was that it would serve other communities, too. But many patients have been going to the Newport location.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont Agency of Transportation has decided to yank a new seat belt safety ad from the...

Ivory Ban Impact on Orchestras
Ivory Rules Implemented February 2014, Revised May 2014
Following an Obama Administration effort to protect African elephants from poaching by combating illegal trade in ivory, the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) ordered strict enforcement procedures related to the Endangered Species Act and the African Elephant Conservation Act on February 25, 2014. According to this order, many instruments containing African elephant ivory would not be allowed into the U.S., even if a musician were simply returning to the U.S. with instruments in their personal possession, not intended for sale. The original order prevented travel into the U.S. with instruments containing ivory that had been purchased since February 26, 1976. A great many musical instruments containing African elephant ivory, while legally manufactured and acquired, have been purchased after 1976, and would have been completely prohibited from entering into the U.S. It is not uncommon for professional orchestra musicians, particularly string players, to perform with instruments that contain small amounts of ivory, most frequently found in the tips of bows. African elephant ivory can also be found in an array of older string, wind, and percussion instruments; however, there is no longer a demand for using elephant ivory to create new instruments.
In response to urgent appeals from the League and other national stakeholders, U.S. Fish and Wildlife agreed to ease the restrictions on musical instruments. Director's Order 210 was amended on May 15, 2014 to allow travel with instruments purchased prior to February 25, 2014 that contain African elephant ivory.
Under the current rules, a musical instrument that contains African elephant ivory may only be brought into the U.S. if the worked African elephant ivory meets all of the following criteria:
- The African elephant ivory contained in the instrument was legally acquired prior to February 26, 1976;
- The instrument has not subsequently been transferred from one person to another person for financial gain or profit since February 25, 2014;
- The person or group traveling with the instrument qualifies for a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) musical instrument certificate; and
- The musical instrument containing African elephant ivory is accompanied by a valid CITES musical instrument certificate or an equivalent CITES document.
While widening the scope of instruments eligible for travel across U.S. borders is a step in the right direction, orchestras have asked U.S. policy leaders to address the following:
- Remove the restriction on travel with musical instruments purchased after February 25, 2014.
- A reliable system has not been built for obtaining CITES passports and navigating complicated enforcement procedures at U.S. ports of entry and departure, and across the globe. The costs, uncertainty, and risks associated with attempting to travel with permits is a barrier to international cultural activity.
- Provide accommodations for musical instruments as U.S. Fish and Wildlife adopts new restrictions on domestic sale and re-sale of ivory. Legally-crafted instruments that contain very small amounts of ivory are not contributing to the poaching crisis, and prohibiting their sale may strip essential musical instruments of their value, and render them unavailable for use by future generations of musicians.
New Rule Proposed July 2015 Makes Allowances for Musical Instruments
On July 25, President Obama announced draft regulations that would formalize the 2014 Director's Order related to both international travel and domestic commerce, making certain accommodations for musical instruments. In announcing the proposed rule to reverse current travel restrictions and provide certain opportunities for ongoing domestic commerce in musical instruments, the USFWS stated that it, "consulted extensively with groups that may be impacted by new trade controls for ivory, including professional musicians" and said that the proposal "recognizes that legal trade in these items does not contribute to the current poaching crisis." These new regulations are in draft form, and will not go into effect until a final rule is announced. After public comments are taken into consideration, the proposed rule may be further altered before it is finalized and enforced. The League has submitted comments on behalf of the field of orchestras in response to this important opportunity to weigh in. Here are some highlights from the proposed rule, related to musical instruments.
- For international travel, the proposed rule would grant a request of the music community by removing the current prohibition on travel with musical instruments legally purchased after February 25, 2014 that contain African elephant ivory. The remaining travel requirements outlined above, which have been in effect for more than a year, would continue to apply. This removal of the purchase date restriction would be a significant improvement over current policy. Further requests of the music community related to easing international travel will be under consideration in separate rule-making procedures, and as CITES is re-negotiated in 2016.
- For domestic interstate commerce, the proposed rule would allow the future sale of musical instruments that contain "de minimis" amounts of ivory (less than 200 grams), and that were legally crafted and legally imported. Allowances would also be made for qualified antiques, 100 years old or older. Sales within states would remain subject to any additional state commerce laws. For instruments less than 100 years old, the following requirements would apply:
- If the item is located in the United States, the ivory must have been imported prior to January 18, 1990, or imported under a CITES pre-Convention certificate with no limitation on its commercial use.
- If the item is located outside of the United States, the ivory must have been removed from the wild prior to February 26, 1976.
- The ivory is a fixed component or components of a larger manufactured item and not the primary source of the value of the item.
- The ivory is not raw.
- The manufactured item is not made wholly or primarily of ivory.
- The total weight of the ivory component or components is less than 200 grams.
- The item must have been manufactured before the effective date of the final rule.
Among the variety of musical instruments that have been previously made with small quantities of ivory, the most common are bows used for stringed instruments, which may have a piece of finished ivory on the protective tip. The quantity of ivory in a bow tip weighs on average 0.25 grams. Embellishments on bassoons and stringed instruments, and the veneer of piano keys use larger quantities. In the proposed rule the USFWS says, "We have chosen 200 grams as the weight limit because we understand that this is the approximate maximum weight of the ivory veneer on a piano with a full set of ivory keys and that this quantity would also cover most other musical instruments with ivory trim or appointments."
The Q & A on the proposed rule offers the following example of how the rule would apply to musical instruments:
Example scenario:
I have a violin bow that contains a small amount of ivory. Under the proposed revisions, will I be able to sell the bow in the United States, export it for sale, or take it overseas for a concert?
If the bow meets the requirements for the de minimis exception, including that the ivory was removed from the wild prior to February 26, 1976, and that the total weight of the ivory is less than 200 grams you will be able to sell it in the United States.
If the bow qualifies as an ESA antique you will be able to export it for sale.
If the bow meets the requirements for import/export of a musical instrument, including that the ivory was removed from the wild prior to February 26, 1976, it is accompanied by a CITES musical instrument certificate or equivalent CITES document, the bow is securely marked or uniquely identified, and it will not be sold or otherwise transferred while outside the United States (see paragraph (e)(4) in the proposed rule text for details) you can travel with it internationally for personal use, including to perform in concert.
The music community is fully committed to the goals of wildlife conservation and combating illegal trade in ivory and other protected species. We are asking for a reasonable solution that protects the domestic and international use of musicians' tools of their trade, and preserves the use of historically and legally made instruments now and for future generations to come. The League is in ongoing dialogue with the Administration and key policy leaders to continue to seek solutions that address wildlife conservation goals while also protecting international musical activity that requires musicians to travel across borders with the tools of their trade. The removal of one travel restriction would be very helpful, and the opportunity to allow future commerce in legally crafted musical instruments is also encouraging. Following are highlights of the comments filed by the League of American Orchestras to US Fish and Wildlife, in response to the proposed rule:
- We applaud USFWS for acknowledging numerous times in the draft regulations that "trade in the types of manufactured items that would qualify for this proposed de minimis exception is not contributing to or driving the illegal ivory trade."
- We support the proposal to allow the future domestic interstate sale of musical instruments that contain "de minimis" amounts of ivory. Clarifications in the final rule will ensure that this exception will protect cultural activity.
- The proposed threshold for qualifying for the "de minimis" standard for domestic interstate commerce is 200 grams. While this amount covers a wide array of musical instruments that contain ivory, it may not cover some bagpipes as well as instruments with multiple keyboards, such as organs.
- We prefer a measurement by volume, as it may be difficult to assess the weight of ivory parts without dismantling fragile instruments.
- We support flexibility on documentation that will affirm that musical instruments meet the proposed requirements.
- We ask that USFWS provide clarification regarding the opportunities for repairing the ivory content of musical instruments.
- We ask that USFWS consider applying the de minimis exemption for musical instruments to export for commercial sale.
- The proposed rule includes exemptions for exhibitions by museums. We request that orchestras and other 501(c)(3) cultural organizations be considered eligible for exemption under this, or a separate future rulemaking process.
- The proposed rule would remove the current restriction on non-commercial travel into the U.S. with instruments were purchased after February 25, 2014 that contain African elephant ivory. We strongly support this substantial policy improvement.
- Further improvements are urgently needed for international travel with musical instruments that contain protected species material. We look forward to the opportunity for continued communication with USFWS as new travel-related policies are crafted, and urge U.S. permit, port, and enforcement agencies to adopt immediate solutions that will support ongoing international cultural exchange.
This site will be updated as next steps toward issuing final ivory ban rules unfold.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey's Downstairs: How Much Would the Staff Make?
We've grown quite fond of the staff that keeps Downton Abbey running, so we got to thinking: How much would they have made?
Thankfully, as the British of the time had a proper way of doing everything, we need only look at the proper British household bible: Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, ladies running a household turned to Mrs. Beeton for tips on all aspects of running a household — including servant salaries. When writing Downton Abbey, ;the writers even used this book for the Abbey's elaborate menus!
Mrs. Beeton's was first published in 1861, but fortunately for our Downton staff, an updated version was released in 1907 — just a few years before Season 1 starts! — ;that's kinder to the help's pocketbooks. We took those numbers, crunched them through an inflation calculator, then converted them to USD. Keep in mind that these annual salaries include room and board, but… those were some different times.

Is Shaq an illusion?
Is Shaq an illusion?
posted at 3/6/2011 12:57 PM ESTShaq has shown us even in spurts of playing time how he can help this team.Getting him on the floor is like insurance that he will punish other teams players physically and balance the mayhem in our favor.His scoring is like easy money setting a tone with other teams early on.But is it realistic to think he can be there for the Celtics when they need him?I mean what is it going to take to get him on the floor. The minutes our starters are playing are eating them up leaving them ripe for injury. One of the big four goes down this team is done championship wise.
Re: Is Shaq an illusion?
posted at 3/6/2011 1:32 PM ESTAinge is a risk taker..but an intelligent one. The "trade" doesn't get done if the medical status on Shaq and JON didn't project to both being able to contribute in the playoffs. When they do play, can they stay healthy?....the risk. Doc can manage minutes better now with the additional players...and still win...who's available through the playoffs?...the risk....

Re: Is Shaq an illusion?
posted at 3/6/2011 3:59 PM ESTi'd say shak is a regular season illusion and a playoff reality. he played hard and started getting aches so they shelved him. watch for him to come back and play modest minutes soon but save himself for the playoffs.
i'm sure this is the plan of danny/doc/trainers/shak. he's a guy that you can't over-use any more. better be safe and have him there later. we're winning now.
as for jerlame, i think he's a totally different story. washed up hard.
Re: Is Shaq an illusion?
posted at 3/6/2011 4:31 PM ESTESPN just said that he isn't close to returning and that this upcoming week is cloudy at best for him returning....I say don't push it if he is having so much trouble....give him till mid march or little later if need be

I'm a roadie looking to broaden my horizons.
Ive been looking at HT Mountain Bikes. I looked at the Cannondale F Series, the Trek 6700 & 8000, and a Bianchi.
I decided I wanted the Bikes Direct Fly Ti http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/.../fly_TI_09.htm
Thats a lot of bike for $2100.
I looked at the pictures for a full week. I go to order the bike and find out there are none in my size and none due in to BD until late spring.
BD has a Fantom Ti but they do not have the level of components Im looking for and a wider gear ratio then I probably need. Plus, I dont like not having a choice between 11-32 or 11-34. You get what comes on it. (I do run an 11-32 on my triplet)
Few questions:
1. Any good bike suggestions?
2. Vuleta wheels: What other manufacturers use them and your take on the wheels?
Fort Stewart has 279,000 acres full of tank trails ready to ride (I'll stay out of the impact area )

About TUSPM
TUSPM was opened in September of 1963 as the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine (PCPM). After Temple's original medical school closed in 1960, several members of its faculty obtained a charter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to open a new podiatry school. PCPM existed in rented facilities for its first few years, and moved into its own center at 8th and Pine streets in 1965. When the current campus opened in 1973, it was the first facility ever developed specifically for podiatric use. In addition to classrooms and labs, the complex includes student housing building and a medical clinic, known as the Foot and Ankle Institute. PCPM merged with Temple in July of 1998.

MCPHS University is chartered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is authorized to grant undergraduate and graduate degrees in the health sciences and related fields. MCPHS University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Inc. through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education.
Podiatric medicine is the branch of medicine concentrating on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of problems and diseases of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. A practitioner in this field is a D.P.M., Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, also known as a podiatrist, and is recognized legally and professionally as an integral member of the healthcare team.
In the healthcare system of today, it is important to focus on the whole patient, rather than an isolated medical problem. Podiatric medicine is no exception. Serious problems of the foot or lower extremity can adversely affect the overall health and well-being of a patient. Conversely, a systemic disease or disorder, such as diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease, may manifest itself first through potentially serious foot problems. These complex interrelationships demand a skilled practitioner, educated to detect and treat a variety of related diseases.
One of the most important choices involved in a commitment to life as a doctor is the choice of specialty. We feel that podiatric medicine is a choice from which you will reap a variety of benefits for many years. Podiatric medicine includes a variety of specialties such as orthopedics, surgery, sports medicine, pediatrics, diabetic foot care, and geriatrics.
TUSPM is fully accredited by the Council of Podiatric Medical Education (CPME, 9312 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda, MD, 20814)
At MCPHS University, our Premedical and Health Studies program offers a variety of pathways to pursue upon graduation. The professional pathways include:
Since the program's inception in 2000, Premedical and Health Studies students have advanced to medical, dental, and veterinary schools with an acceptance rate of 74 percent.
Check out where our MCPHS University graduates are now.
The Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee exists to support students who are seeking admission to medical school or other health professional schools. When it is determined that a committee letter is warranted, the committee composes an evaluative letter that incorporates the student's reference letters, academic credentials, community service and extracurricular activities, research accomplishments, and other relevant personal data. The Committee may also coordinate mock interviews for students who are completing secondary applications.
The Committee members pursue liaison or working relationships with medical and professional school representatives and admissions committees. They attend national or regional meetings of the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP) and share pertinent materials and knowledge acquired at these meetings with colleagues and students. The Committee also periodically reviews and updates the Premedical and Health Studies degree program requirements, embedded minor concentrations, and affiliated professional school pathways.
The Committee is composed of the Premedical and Health Studies Program Director, Assistant Director, and faculty program mentors and is chaired by the Program Director or Assistant Director. Faculty program mentors hold office hours for advising, serve as contacts for specific pathways, write letters of recommendation, and participate in pre-health professions events in addition to their teaching, service, and research responsibilities.
Graduates of the University have been accepted at a number of medical and dental schools, including Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Boston University, Dartmouth School of Medicine, Duke University, Georgetown University, Howard University, Medical College of Virginia, Michigan State University, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, the State University of New York at Brooklyn, the State University of New York at Buffalo, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Syracuse University, Tulane University, Tufts University, University of Massachusetts, and the University of Vermont.
Recently, Premedical & Health Studies majors have had acceptances to the following programs:

"Biot" Top 5 Page for this destination Biot by MM212
Biot Travel Guide: 33 reviews and 80 photos
Just another hilltop village on the Côte d'Azur, Biot is only a short drive from Antibes. Although Biot's early roots date back to the pre-Roman period, the town came into light in mediaeval times when it served as the seat for a group of Knights Templar and Hospitaller. A defensive castrum or castle existed on the hill where the town is now located, but in the 14th and 15th centuries, Biot and its population were destroyed by civil war and disease. A group from Italy moved in, reconstructed and repopulated the town. Today's local population descends from those very Italians.
Biot has been known for centuries for its pottery and jars which travelled across the Mediterranean transporting olives and flour. Over the years the Biot locals added glassblowing to their historic skills and the town now boasts several small factories dedicated to the manufacture of artistic glass and jars.
The quiet village makes a nice afternoon trip from anywhere along the Côte d'Azur.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Not for a short person
I'm 5'4" tall and 120 lbs heavy so I had to return the pants because it's a bit too long for me. I would have kept it though if it was the right lenght.
Happy with the pants
I'm also in the Pacific Northwest and got the pants to walk and garden in the rain. I wanted rain pants that didn't pull on over other pants, but naturally I didn't want ski pants. These fit the bill. They stretch and are comfortable, and although they still make noise, are less noisy than hardshell. I agree with the previous reviewer that there should be some other type of pocket rather than the one in the back (not useful for women) but I can deal.
Golite Paradox Pants
The new Trinity fabric in these pants is a good match for scrambling and backpacking in the Pacific NW. Having all-day waterproof hiking pants, without the need to add second layer rain pants, is a plus in the rain, potential rain, and wet brush from previous rain. The breathability prevents overheating. I would gladly trade the zippered back pocket and zippered openings in the legs for a cargo pocket. Also, the sizing runs small.

How To Earn An Excellent Part Time Home Based Income With Fund Raising
There are thousands of organizations in your area looking for ways to earn more money every year. Why not help them and earn money at the same time?
Imagine being able to show organizations in your area a fundraiser using our healthy alternative gourmet products.. What a great story for the organization to tell and sell!
The process of setting up a fundraiser is simple. All you have to do is present your Fundraising Information to a group and when they decide to sell them Scent-Sations products your work is just about finished! Most organizations already know how to do a fundraiser!
You will provide them with the necessary papers, which include the Fundraising catalog, order form and required paperwork and they go do the fundraiser. When the group is ready for the candles you simply call in the order and we will either ship it directly to the fund-raising group or to you.
Imagine that you could set up just 30 of the thousands of organizations in your area and they sold 1,000 candles per year doing just two fund-raisers per year. This would mean that you could be earn a part time fund-raising income! An added benefit is from the customers who purchase the candles at a fundraiser! You could get lots of new retail customers, more fund-raisers or even new team members from it!
Fund-Raising As An Ongoing Business
Here is the amazing result of Bob Scocozzo bugging a big guy to do candles. I've averaged ONE fundraiser every 10 days for two years now. Imagine having a side business that is practically on auto pilot and you will realize how powerful this can be. All it takes is a little "energy" to get out there in the early stages and being consistent in talking to those organizations that can make this kind of business happen. It doesn't hurt that I can offer them the most powerful candle in history and one of the most money making products in fundraising history!

Instantaneous Speeds in Air of Explosion Reports at Short Distances from the Source6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745264View Description Hide Description
In the first series of measurements the source was one No. 6 blasting cap, while in the second series one pound of 50 percent nitroglycerine stick dynamite was used as source. A telephonecarbon button microphone was the receiver and was held fixed in location while shots were fired successively at 5, 8, 12.5, 25, 35, 50, 100 and 600 meter distances. A two‐element string oscillograph was used for timing, one element recording the instant of firing, the other element recording the arrival of the wave at the microphone. The work was done at time of no perceptible wind; air temperatures were measured carefully; no humidity measurements were made. Travel times could be read reliably to 10−4 second and distance measurements were at least correspondingly good. Instantaneous speeds were obtained by plotting time computed minus time observed against distance and measuring slopes of the resulting curve. Since this work was incidental to seismicprospecting, the observations were not quite as numerous as those of von Angerer and Ladenburg. However, the results are similar as regards abnormally high speeds near the source. Also, the use of instantaneous speeds appears to show abnormally low speeds a little farther from the source, perhaps masked in the work of von Angerer and Ladenburg due to the use by them of average speeds instead of instantaneous speeds.
Shot Effect and Thermal Agitation in an Electron Current Limited by Space Charge6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745271View Description Hide Description
Experimental evidence is presented which shows that shot effect is decreased by space charge and that the internal impedance of a vacuum tube is subject to thermal agitation.
The Potential Distribution Between Parallel Plates and Concentric Cylinders Due to Any Arbitrary Distribution of Space Charge6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745262View Description Hide Description
Equations are derived for the electric potential and field intensity due to a distribution of space charge in a slab of dielectric between two infinite parallel conducting plates. The charge density may be any integrable function of the coordinate perpendicular to the plates. The corresponding solution for concentric cylinders is also given. A number of special cases are discussed, including that of a uniformly distributed charge, and one of sinusoidal distribution. The latter has an application in the theory of the piezoelectric resonator.
Potential Distributions About an Infinitely Extended Line Electrode on the Surface of a Horizontally Stratified Earth. II6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745263View Description Hide Description
The analytical theory is given for the potentials and gradients to be found on the surface of a horizontally stratified earth in which the current source is an infinitely extended cable or line electrode lying on the surface. Power series expansions in the distance from the electrode are derived for small distances and asymptotic expansions for large distances. Detailed treatments are given for the two layer earth, for all thicknesses of the surface layer, and for the three layer earth in which the thickness of the second layer either equals or is twice as great as that of the surface layer, as well as formal expansions for general many layered earths. Simple closed hyperbolic function expressions are derived for the surface gradients for three layer systems in which the lowest layer is either of infinite or zero conductivity. The solution for the direct interpretation problem in which the continuous vertical conductivity variation may be determined from a knowledge of the surface gradients is briefly outlined, following the method of Slichter and Langer for the case where the current source is a point electrode. The analytical results of the indirect interpretation problem for a stratified earth are illustrated by thirty numerical and graphical examples.
A Note on Mixed Boundary Value Problems in Logarithmic Potential Theory6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745265View Description Hide Description
A method is given for solving logarithmic potential problems in which the potential is preassigned over part of the boundary and the normal derivative over the remainder. A ``mixed'' Green's function is defined such that it vanishes over part of the boundary of interest and its normal derivative vanishes over the remainder, and the solution for the logarithmic potential is expressed in terms of this function and the boundary conditions by means of Green's theorem. Taking the case of the infinite quadrant as the ``prototype'' region the solutions for other regions such as the infinite half plane, infinite and semi‐infinite strips, and the circle are obtained by mapping them on the infinite quadrant; these are illustrated by several specific examples.
On Electric Charges of Disperse Systems Which Are the Seats of Physico‐Chemical Reactions6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745266View Description Hide Description
In a number of previous papers a mathematical study was made of small drops, which either absorb or produce some substances by virtue of physico‐chemical reactions. This creates in the drop and in the surrounding medium gradients of concentrations of corresponding substances. In this note it is pointed out that when the reacting substances are ionized, these gradients will result in the appearance of electric charges and electric fields. An estimation shows that they are quite comparable with electric charges, produced by other factors in disperse systems. The fundamental property of the charges here considered is that they disappear as soon as the reactions cease. Their importance in biological systems is pointed out.
The Mechanism of Division of Small Liquid Systems Which Are the Seats of Physico‐Chemical Reactions II. Instability of Two‐Phase Systems6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745267View Description Hide Description
In continuation of a previous paper, the same mathematical method is applied to a system, consisting of two spherical concentric drops, under the assumption, that a reaction takes place only in the outer larger drop, but not in the inner one. It is found, however, that even in that case the inner drop may become unstable for infinitesimal deformations, and spontaneously elongate.
The Flexure Problem for Rectangular Beams with Slits6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745268View Description Hide Description
Experimental and approximate theoretical studies, made at the United States Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, show that the mean shearing stress in the neutral plane of a rectangular beam with symmetrical horizontal slits or checks extending along its lateral faces is less than that given by the usual engineering formulas; that is, there is a definite ``two‐beam'' action which relieves the shearing stress in the portion of the beam weakened by the slits. This paper presents an exact solution of the flexure problem for a beam of such section and confirms the main features of the distribution of shearing stress found in the earlier investigation. The solution of the flexure problem requires the solution of Laplace's equation within the plane region coincident with a cross section of the beam, subject to certain boundary conditions. This solution is obtained by using the Schwartz‐Christoffel transformation of a polygon onto a half‐plane and solving the transformed boundary value problem. The exact solution is set up as an infinite series. To simplify the calculations two approximate solutions are also obtained, one of which is used in treating a numerical example.
A Determination of the Refractive Index of Vitreous Silica and the Calibration of Silica Refraction Thermometers Between 18° and −200°C6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745269View Description Hide Description
The variation with temperature of the refractive index of fused silica for the helium line 5877.2A has been determined between 18° and −200°C and the results have been applied to the calibration of vitreous silica refraction thermometers at low temperatures. These data have been correlated with measurements at high temperatures. It is found that the refractive index between −200°C and 1000°C can be represented by the equation .
Magnetic Susceptibility of Some Alloys of ``Gamma‐Brass'' Structure6(1935); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745270View Description Hide Description
The change of diamagnetic susceptibility with composition of a number of phases of gamma‐brass structure (Cu–Zn, Cu–Cd, Ag–Zn, Ag–Cd) has been determined. In each case when the phase makes its first appearance with low electron ratio, it is not strongly diamagnetic, but the increase in diamagnetism is approximately lineally dependent on the number of free electrons, and the strongest diamagnetism occurs at the limit of the gamma‐phase with the highest electron ratio possible for the structure.

Your liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly. It weighs about 3 pounds and is reddish-brown in color. The liver has two large sections called the right and left lobes. The liver works with the pancreas and intestines to digest, absorb and process food. The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract before passing it to the rest of the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. As it does so the liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines. The liver also makes proteins that are important for blood clotting and other functions. That is a lot of work for a 3-pound organ!
Because both the liver and the skin are the organs most involved in toxin removal, many herbalists connect clear, luminous and even-toned skin with healthy liver function, so anyone concerned about their outward appearance should pay strict attention to liver health, too.
Browse our top selling liver health products. There's a reason they're so popular!
Converts everything you eat, breathe and absorb through the skin into life-sustaining substances.
Stores and stockpiles glucose and other nutrients that have been absorbed through the intestinal wall, releasing them to your cells when necessary through the hepatic vein.
Filters out toxins from your blood at the amazing rate of a quart per minute. It sorts out the good from the bad, keeping anything useful and tossing out the junk. As the world becomes more and more toxic, a liver working at optimal capacity plays a bigger role in health and well-being than ever before.
Makes bile to digest fat and prevent constipation. Your life improves in lots of ways with a healthy liver!
Secretes hormones and enzymes for hundreds of physiological functions, and maintains hormone balance.
Sometimes when you're having digestive issues it can be because of your liver not functioning at 100%.

SEOUL, Jan. 21 (Yonhap) -- The Cabinet approved a bill Tuesday to strengthen punishment for transactions with terror plotters as part of efforts to prevent the proliferation of deadly weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Under the revision approved during the weekly Cabinet meeting, any transactions with those facing financial sanctions for plotting terror attacks shall be prohibited, with violators subject to up to three years of imprisonment or 30 million won (US$28,192) in fines.
The revision also allowed the financial watchdog to levy sanctions against those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of WMD. Currently, the punishable measures are applied only to those who carry out activities with an aim to pose a threat to the public.
Adopting the expanded definition of what constitutes the proliferation of WMD, the revision banned not only producing and using nuclear, biological and chemical weapons but also possessing and transporting them.
It "aims to effectively control fund-raising activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," the government said in a statement.

Union senior Jordan Chatman was on his game.
So, too, was teammate Tanner Nelson.
That does not seem fair to the rest of the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League.
Chatman, the 6-foot-4 guard with a Division-I body, and Nelson, a 6-2 guard with a football body, were just too strong and fast for Skyview on Thursday night.
Chatman went off for 32 points, and Nelson scored 12 of his 17 in the second half in a 69-61 Union victory in a Class 4A Greater St. Helens League boys basketball game at Union.
"It's nice to know we have two threats," Chatman said. "It's hard for the defense to guard us both."
It's not just a benefit on offense with those two. The Titans, not blessed with a lot of height, use their guards to harass opponents, to make it difficult for them to get the ball inside.
In a game against Evergreen earlier this season, the Titans held 6-foot-11 post Caleb Dressler to just a handful of shots. Thursday, they held 6-foot-7 Ryan Bickford to four field goal attempts.
"We obviously game-plan for protecting the paint," Nelson said. "It's our guards getting pressure, it's our weakside helping, and it's our low-post guys being able to deny them."
"That's what we were trying to do," Union coach Maco Hamilton said. "We try to negate what they do well and we try to play to what we do well."
Union, with that defense/offense combination, improved to 5-0 in the 4A GSHL. Skyview fell to 4-2 in league play — the two losses coming against the Titans.
Still, the Storm have earned the respect of the Titans.
"They're a lot better," Nelson said. "They've improved a lot, especially from last year. They're a solid team. They're fun to play."
Fun, huh?
Union scored the final 10 points of the first quarter to take a 22-15 lead. The Titans would not relinquish that advantage. However, they did not run away from the Storm. The lead got up to 13 with three minutes left in the third quarter, but Skyview finished the period on a 9-2 spurt.
Chatman scored seven of Union's next nine points to push the lead to 11, but back came Skyview again.
Austin Bonds connected on a 3-pointer with 3:01 remaining to make it a five-point game at 59-54.
Fourteen seconds later, Chatman buried a shot and all was good again for the Titans.
"They played hard," Chatman said of the Storm. "They played hard the whole, entire night. They brought the intensity."
After both teams exchanged a free throw, Chatman would score again and Nelson closed the door with the final five points for his squad.
"We understand with our offense, we usually get whatever we want from it," Nelson said. "Me and (Jordan) need to work the ball around to make stuff happen for ourselves and the team."
Chatman finished 11 of 22 and also made four 3-pointers. Nelson was 6 of 10 from the floor. Tyler Copp had seven points and four assists for the Titans. Seaver Whalen and Chatman each had six rebounds.
Skyview's Keegan Liebelt was hot to start the game, connecting on back-to-back 3-pointers. He would finish with four from long range and recorded a team-high 17 points. Bonds added 16 points. Bickford finished with eight points and four blocked shots. Ross Armstrong had eight points and eight rebounds for the Storm.
"It's a good win because they're a really good team," Hamilton said.

- These pipes are nickel/chrome plated (inside and out) instead of anodized.
- The chrome plating is super smooth and shiny and provides better corrosion and chemical protection than anodization.
- Made of superior 7075 aluminum instead of 6061 aluminum.
- These Aluminum Bat VG pipes have improved internal components (stainless steel heat shield) and machined features for further reducing external heating of the pipe. Heat efficiency is improved, and the pipes stay cool a lot longer than the prior version.
- Lightweight at 60 grams.
- 4.5 inches long x 1inch diameter at its widest point
- Mouthpiece hole is 1/4" Mouthpiece is not necessary but we include one for free.
- Can be cleaned with liquid solvents such as alcohol or hot soapy water. Both top and bottom can be cleaned with solvents. Cleaning the top in this way should not usually be necessary, however. But if you do clean the top with solvents, make sure the ceramic filter is thoroughly rinsed.
- Use soft pipecleaners to clean this pipe. Do NOT use stainless steel brushes! Stainless steel brushes may damage the chrome plating inside the pipe.
The 7075 aluminum used in this pipe is far superior to 6061, and about twice the price.
- 7075 aluminum has a lower thermal conductivity, which helps the bat stay cool.
- 7075 is also much harder and stronger, so it resists dings, dents and scratches.
- 6061 aluminum is often deceptively marketed as "aerospace grade aluminum". This is deceptive because there are many types of "aerospace grade aluminum" (including 7075), and 6061 barely makes the cut.
- 7075 is simply a far superior material, especially for use in our bat VaporGenie pipe.
Customer Reviews
- Love it! - Review by Josh
Once you get the hang of you VG, you won't want to vape any other way! I like to keep things simple, so I love my aluminum bat. I've had it for over a year now and still my friends are always like "what is that?" Then they try it and immediately want one.
(Posted on 11/7/15)
- excellent device - Review by Sam
I just recently heard of vaporizers. I decided to try one out. I saw an ad in Rolling Stone for vapor genie. I went online and ordered the aluminum bat. I'll never burn a bowl again. The taste, the feel, and the sensation was unlike anything I've ever tried. I highly recommend this product. I liked it so much, I bought a classic walnut model. Can't wait to try it out. Kudos, Vapor Genie.

- Excelente - Review by Omar
Un buen producto para fumar tu hierba. Nunca habia probado el sabor que te da una vaporizadora, y este aparte de ser discreto y poderlo fumar en cualquier lado (no combustiona) tambien te da un buen efecto. Lo unico que se gasta es en los encendedores. 10 de 10

- Seriously Impressed - Review by orionsune
Finally I can go into the wilderness and not compromise by burning a bowl. This vaporizer works better than I had imagined it would. I even favor it over my glass Sherlock for it's slimmer profile, but mostly for its stealthy mobility. This is well worth its price.

- great vape A+ - Review by george
one of the best unit i have used i have a ascent by divinci and solo by arizer robust easy to use
and maintain very discreet
all this at a fraction of the price
well done vapour genie
i will never combust again
highly recomended
(Posted on 7/19/14)
- Outstanding - Review by High
Simple, elegant, and Highly effective. Within moments of first use, I realized I will never smoke out of a water pipe again, EVER.
In my experience, this works much, much better than large table top vapes. And it's pocket size and a fraction of the price.
My only concern is possible butane inhalation, but I'm not sure that even is a concern.
Did I mention that this thing is awesome?
Well done, Vapor Genie.

American newspapers are getting hammered by evaporating classified ads, but Craigslist isn't (SAI 25 No. 3). CEO Jim Buckmaster shared some June numbers that will make a newspaper publisher weep: housing ads are up 85% y/y, with rental ads up 120% and real estate up 70%.
So, what else is happening with the world's most popular classified service?
On advice from his lawyers Buckmaster offered no update on the legal dispute with eBay. Recall, eBay sued Craigslist for allegedly diluting the value of its 28% stake. Craigslist countersued, claiming eBay used its position on the board to gather intelligence to launch its own Craigslist killer, Kijiji.

Guest Blogger Carolyn Jess Talks Bushmeat
We have invited Carolyn Jess back to continue to help us out as guest blogger in 2014 with a focus on native wildlife. Jess is a 13 year old student who has agreed to be our special guest blogger about wildlife conservation and is currently working on the Houston Zoo Crew. If you would like to contact Carolyn or have comments, you may send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I never have heard of the Bushmeat Crisis until I visited the Houston Zoo this past weekend. I was on my lunch break for Zoo Crew training and was looking around at everything I could. I got to the primate area and read some of the signs, and that's where I found out about the Bushmeat Crisis.
In Africa, the forests are also called "the bush". The animals that live in the bush, many of them endangered animals, are killed so that they can be eaten. Chimpanzee, elephants and gorillas are just a few of the animals that are killed to eat. It is a big industry now and people in Africa are making a lot of money from selling bushmeat, so much that when these people hunt, they are not thinking about just killing a few animals, but all that they can shoot.
That's not all though. Once the animal is shot, there is often a baby left behind without their parent. These animals are taken as well and sold as pets or sold off to another place. These animals usually die on their way to the market due to the containers they are shipped in. The containers are often too small or don't have holes for oxygen to get in. Because of this, there has been a number of sanctuaries opened to help take care of these orphaned babies and the workers help raise awareness of this problem.
These animals deserve better than this. There are alternative food sources, but this meat is cheap and in big demand. There are many things you can do to help stop this horrible crisis. First of all, become aware of the problem and tell others. You can visit the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force website to get information sent to you. You can also get your senators to help. Jane Goodall has a website for you to type in your name and address and a letter will be sent to your senator. The senators can support the African governments with making stricter laws for poaching and owning illegal animals. You can also support a wildlife refuge or wildlife sanctuary in Africa. If people are aware of this problem, then we can all try to help. If no one knows or reads about it, the problem will go on and our wildlife in Africa will disappear.

Very informative and well written! You are doing a great job at providing information to increase awareness while providing a way for those interested to respond and reach out for the cause. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Carolyn – It is so heartbreaking to hear people are killing these beautiful creatures for money and leaving their babies without parents and protection in the wild. I am so grateful you are fostering awareness about these types of activities taking place around the world. You are right, there are suitable alternatives making this an unnecessary practice. Thank you for your advocacy and for taking the time to volunteer, serve and educate others. You are truly a super star!!
Carolyn, I always learn something when I read your blogs. Great work on bringing awareness to an important issue.

More often than not, The Sims 4 is a peaceful game. Players can kill their Sims if they wish, but Sims never kill each other. At least, intentionally. So what's this guy doing—smiling serenely in his underwear, not acknowledging the blood all over his hands, like some whimsical Patrick Bateman?
