Physics is involved in the geological processes that occur. When a laboratory experiment is performed to emulate a natural geological process that is geophysics. When a natural process is explained using physics as described in a laboratory that too is geophysics.
The image on the right presents the results of the GRACE mission as a gravity model of the Earth.
"The Grace mission uses twin satellites to make precise gravity-field measurements to study changes on Earth. Signal achievements include the first uniform measurement of Greenland and Antarctic ice mass changes and monthly estimates of water accumulation in the world's river basins."[1]
Theoretical geophysics[edit]
Def. "the physical processes and phenomena occurring in the earth and in its vicinity"[2] is called geophysics.
Once a phenomenon has been perceived or observed the next step is to suggest possible physical processes that may be occurring to produce the phenomenon.
Def. an "effect of mechanical erosion of rock, especially a river bed, by rock fragments scratching and scraping it"[3] is called abrasion.
The striations in the image on the right on Cerro Chirripo suggest a past glacier.
Def. "gouges [striations] cut into the bedrock by gravel and rocks carried by glacial ice and meltwater"[4] are called glacial striations.
"Parallel striations and bedrock fracture trends (across the left side of the image [on the left]) are clearly visible in this photo [at the right]."[4]
Def. "polished striated rock surfaces caused by one rock mass moving across another on a fault"[5] are called slickensides.
Def. a "large mass or body of snow and ice sliding swiftly down a mountain side, or falling down a precipice"[6] is called an avalanche.
Chatter marks[edit]
Def. "striations or marks left on the surface of exposed bedrock caused by the advance and retreat of glacier ice"[4] are called chattermarks.
In the image at the right is a close "up of chatter marks, Mt. Sirius, Antarctica. Lens cap in the photo is five centimeters across."[4]
Def. a "breaking or grinding up of a material to form smaller particles"[7] is called comminution.
Def. any "of several processes in which a solid or liquid is put into motion by a fluid"[8] is called entrainment.
Def. "a lengthwise groove"[9] is called a flute.
Def. a "long, narrow channel or depression"[10] is called a groove.
Def. "grooves [...] cut into the bedrock by gravel and rocks carried by glacial ice and meltwater"[4] are called glacial grooves.
Def. the "mechanical removal of pieces of rock from a bedrock face that is in contact with glacier ice"[11] is called plucking.
"Blocks are quarried and prepared for removal by the freezing and thawing of water in cracks, joints, and fractures. The resulting pieces are frozen into the glacier ice and transported."[11]
Rock slides[edit]
Def. a "falling of large amounts of rubble, earth and stones down the slope of a hill or mountain"[12] is called a rock slide.
Def. a "force that resists the relative motion or tendency to such motion of two bodies in contact"[13] is called friction.
Def. "damage to the appearance and/or strength of an item caused by use over time"[14] is called wear.
Def. "application of a substance [...], between moving surfaces in contact in order to reduce friction and minimize heating"[15] is called lubrication.
Def. the "science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion; the study and application of technology using the principles of friction, lubrication and wear"[16] is called tribology.
"Grooves are gouged into the tough rock [in the image on the right] by the continental glacier that once covered the area."[17]
"Ice won't scratch rock, of course; the sediment picked up by the glacier does the work. Stones and boulders in the ice leave scratches while sand and grit polish things smooth. The top of this outcrop looks wet, but instead it's glacial polish."[17]
Def. a "seismic event caused by sudden glacial movements or by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice"[18] is called a cryoseism.
"A cryoseism, or frost quake, is a natural phenomenon that produces ground shaking and noises similar to an earthquake, but is caused by sudden deep freezing of the ground. They typically occur in the first cold snap of the year when temperatures drop from above freezing to below zero, particularly if there is no snow cover to insulate the ground. The primary way that they are recognized is that, in contrast to an earthquake, the effects of a cryoseism are very localized. In some cases, people in houses a few hundred yards away do not notice anything. The reason that the vibrations do not travel very far is that cryoseisms don't release much energy compared with a true earthquake caused by dislocation of rock within the earth. On the other hand, since cryoseisms occur at the ground surface they can cause significant effects right at the site, enough to jar people awake. Cryoseisms typically occur between midnight and dawn, during the coldest part of the night. If conditions are right, they may occur in a series of booms and shakes over a few hours or even on successive nights."[19]
"Cryoseisms have been reported from upstate New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine."[19]
Low-frequency "vibrations [from] over a hundred quakes have happened in the last decade that aren't along any fault line. What are they near instead? Ice. A glacier can be thought of as a very slow-moving stream. It's made of solid ice, but over long periods of time it can flow gradually over the land, sometimes carving deep trenches and bulldozing up rock and soil. Just because it takes centuries to rearrange things, though, doesn't mean a glacier isn't enormously powerful at any given moment."[20]
Numerous "low-frequency quakes in Greenland [have] been identified. [They] mostly occurred during July, August, and September. Those warmer months melt lots of glacial ice."[20]
In the warmer months, liquid "water is pooling underneath the glacial ice to the point where the thin veneer of water at the base of the glacier allows the whole mass to slip a little [...] The quakes [may be] the vibrations set up by all that ice–in one case, six cubic miles of it–skidding as much as forty-two feet in under a minute. When that much ice scrapes, the earth itself shakes."[20]
"The magnitude of these glacial quakes can be substantial. An ice slab roughly the size of Manhattan Island, and as tall as the Empire State building, slipping 10- meters (33 feet) causes a magnitude 5 quake."[21]
"Furthermore, the ice quake duration can last thousands of seconds whereas a normal earthquake might last hundreds of seconds."[21]
A "sharp increase [has occurred] in the number of quakes recorded in recent years. All 136 of the best-documented slips were traced to glaciated valleys draining the main Greenland ice sheet. A few others occurred in Alaskan glaciers or on Antarctica."[21]
These "glacial quakes ranged from six to 15 per year from 1993 to 2002, then jumped to 20 in 2003, 23 in 2004, and 32 in 2005. This rate increase matches an increase in Greenland's temperatures."[21]
The image on the right shows seismographs "from the Dall Glacier area of Alaska. The upper two traces (in red) are the broad band (BB) and long-period (LP) records of the M 5.0 event of September 1999. The lower two traces (in black) are the BB and LP records of an M 4.2 earthquake in the same area."[21]
"The largest modern surges known to have occurred on the northern hemisphere are those of Brúarjökull. During the most recent surges in 1890 and 1964 an area of 1400 km2 of the glacier was affected and the glacier advanced 8-10 km onto the forefield (Thorarinsson 1969)."[22]
"When Brúarjökull surged, large ice-marginal moraines which can be traced over many kilometers, were produced in front of the glacier."[22]
"The lateral changes reflected in the spatial distribution of landform assemblages are closely linked to the dynamic behaviour of Brúarjökull. Therefore it is important to understand large-scale development in ice dynamics linked to the landscape evolution. Underlying this is the importance of understanding the factors controlling the surging behaviour of the glacier."[22]
Def. a "fracture in which the strata are not offset"[23] is called a joint.
Def. a "fracture in rock in which (unlike a fault) the strata do not move relative to each other"[24] is called a geologic joint.
Def. a "thin fracture, in sedimentary rocks, either normal or oblique to the bedding plane"[25] is called a leptoclase.

David Samuels Says Bombing Iran Will Lead to a Palestinian State
David Samuels has a piece in Slate that I think illustrates how pathological the practice of journalism can get when editors decide to privilege the idea of running "interesting," "provocative," or "counterintuitive" pieces over accurate ones that make a contribution to people's understanding of the world. If you recall back in 2002 and 2003, there was a school of thought which held that "the road to Jerusalem runs through Baghdad." In other words, that the solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict and was to be found in an American invasion of Iraq. Samuels is basically resurrecting this "logic" except this time it's an unprovoked unilateral Israeli military assault on Iran that—through magic—leads to the creation of a Palestinian state.
I'll even say that I think it would be nice if we were living in the reality Samuels describes. This is a world in which an Israeli attack on Iran is likely to be highly effective at curbing Iran's nuclear program (which I doubt), a world in which such an attack would be secretly welcomed by the leaders of all the regimes in the region (which I also doubt), and in which Bibi Netanyahu is secretly harboring a desire to strike a major deal with the Palestinian leadership and is just waiting for a moment of strength—such as would result from a successful bombing raid on Iran—to launch it. In the real world, though, just about none of this is true.

This is by far the most intense and detailed Kim Possible fic I've ever seen...in terms of background descriptions, back-story, world-setting and building, emotional portrayal and thoughts and nuances, dialogue, and most /especially/ character interactions!
Though non-canon, and in some cases with pairings I've never seen or even considered, you've done an excellent job of providing enough detailed and thought-out background and history, not mention the expressive portrayal of the personalities and of the development of the relationships themselves, that it all seems, strangely, conceivable.
In fact, at some points, your detailed descriptions, especially pertaining to setting and background almost seem exceedingly detailed. But in most cases, it only adds to the realism.
And your grammar and structure are top-notch!
So many twists and turns in the storyline, but many with enough foreshadowing that, in retrospect, it's obvious that you thought them out well ahead-of-time, even if it was seemingly subtle or inconspicuous at first. Well done!
You've got me absolutely hooked on the Shego/Kim/Ron pairing...which I had never considered before I read this.
I noticed you haven't updated in over a year, but is there any chance that you'll continue this fic sometime in the future? I've got the jebbies just wondering how you intended for it to proceed, and, to be honest, it's kinda really distracting me...
Thanks for this wonderful literary experience!

I love the whole idea. love the plot love the story can not stop reading the fight scene is brillent. is there going to be others joining them as the whole where heart follows thing It would be great to add in terra and alex don't stop please update soon
| ShadowDancer01 chapter 16 . 4/1/2014
A great sequel tot he first story. The characters continue to grow and develop while the plot races along. I look forward to new installments.
| Clutch28 chapter 16 . 3/7/2014
Actually hoping that this story is not discontinued...when I first read the stories in this series, there were certain aspects that turned me off, only to come back to it this time around and reveal that this was a lot more complex then i had originally assumed...I would like to see more in this series extending past this story as well...i think you have a great series here with legs and as long as you don't putt all the eggs in this basket...you could make this a great KP universe.
| Rokigo chapter 16 . 7/14/2013
I must say that this chapter was fun to read and I enjoyed it very much, even though this chapter wasn't as fast paced as your previous chapters with the fighting and the death and everything, but is was something different. I just want to say please complete this fic before you revise your previous chapters and fics, do that before you write bk 3 then you can make references towards your previous fics. Please update soon!
| Pharaoh Rutin Tutin chapter 16 . 7/13/2013
Debutante? Well, she's slightly less dangerous than the cat in a tree that fell on Ron in Larry's Birthday.
I'll admit it, I can't keep track of the real, the living, the fake, and the dead people in WEE and GJ any more. I'd hate to show up to the GJ memorial service and find out an agent is actually dead I thought was alive. Even worse, I'd hate to show up and find out that the agent for whom I sent the cheapest wreath was still alive and also at the service. Awkward
| Jimmy1201 chapter 16 . 7/13/2013
Payback's a bitch, ... But I'm worse - LOL! Neat idea to pull in Debutante, nobody pays attention to a cat and she probably knows more than she realizes. Of course being a cat, I don't know how hard it will be to get the information from her.
Junior just needed the right motivation and expressing himself in his native tongue to bring out his singing talents. Bonnie and Junior are truly good for each other.
I look forward to any adventures the Upperclassmen and Team Possible get into in Paris.
Thanks guys.

| Rokigo chapter 15 . 6/9/2013
well that was an uneventful chapter, but it was necessary for the overall fic to make sense in the end. I found this chapter informative but unfortunately a bit slow. But on the bright side your writing isn't dominated by unnecessary details (exept when you detailed on how the apartment looked like, but that was to give us an idea of the look and feel of the setting) and that made the chapter interesting but not to...well...uhm...boring.
| Jimmy1201 chapter 15 . 6/9/2013
Crime seems to have paid pretty well in Shego's case as her real estate holdings show. "Shower" before eating? In another story, that might have been OOC for Ron, in this one, well, Ron has adjusted his priorities I think. Or perhaps Ron just never got that choice very often...
It appears that someone did a mental attack against several people and it seemed to be pretty subtle. Mindbender seems to be the patient type - 5 to 6 years before whoever was cloned is ready? Guess this story has a few chapters to go? Thanks for the update.
| SliferRed chapter 14 . 5/13/2013
Cool story! Keep it up!
| Pharaoh Rutin Tutin chapter 14 . 5/11/2013
If everyone in GJ (or WEE for that matter) who is actually a clone, spy, double agent, informant, or attempting to usurp the organization for him or herself was to call in sick on the same day, would there still be enough people to keep the office open?
| Jimmy1201 chapter 14 . 5/11/2013
I think Wade needs to put a laser turret on the Sloth for Rufus. Our heroes are still in the "disable-not-kill" mode, although I think Ron was about to put an end to Fukushima. Still, in this episode it was the attackers that suffered in the attack. And not to my mind "unfortunately" - these people shouldn't have been depending on the kindness of heroes for their survival. Fukushima is going to be real threat if he starting planning like a real ninja and stops hanging around people that take their strategy from Jackie Chan movies. Come to think of it, should Ron end up being the sole survivor, I can imagine a list of people that will suddenly start dying in the dark of the night. He won't be using a semi-truck with "Team Possible" emblazoned on the side. :) Thanks for the update.

Police Chief Gary Jenkins explained to the council that as of Thursday, December sixth, people over 21 will be allowed to possess small amounts of marijuana, but the legislation has some major limitations. For example, a person can get a DUI for driving under the influence of marijuana even if their blood THC concentration is lower than the legal limit of five nano-grams per milliliter.
"If we found someone driving, and they were driving erratically, and showed impairment, even if they were below a 5.0, that's still DUI," said Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins.
Even though it will be legal to possess one ounce of dried marijuana, the Liquor Control Board has until December first of next year to adopt regulations for the production, distribution, and sales of it. That means that you can possess it, but it is still illegal to purchase. And there's still a zero-tolerance policy for people under the age of 21 to possess marijuana. Jenkins also mentioned that Initiative 502 had no effect on medical marijuana laws.

A disgraced Seattle megachurch pastor is being sued for mishandling church money and racketeering, stymying efforts to reinvigorate the controversy-ridden ministry career of a man once called "the Rush Limbaugh of Evangelicalism."
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, four former deacons of Driscoll's onetime church filed suit against the pastor on Monday, accusing him and another church official of engaging in a "pattern of racketeering" while heading up Mars Hill Church, a once thriving Seattle-based congregation. According to the lawsuit, Driscoll, who Forbes declared in 2014 to be "one of the nation's most prominent and celebrated pastors," repeatedly raised funds for projects without spending the money as intended, including an instance in which the plaintiffs claim he raised $2.3 million for an international missions project but only spent $120,000 of it abroad.
"[Driscoll and church general manager Sutton Turner] engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity so deeply embedded, pervasive and continuous, that it was effectively institutionalized as a business practice, thereby corrupting the very mission Plaintiffs and other donors believed they were supporting," the complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court, reads. The lawsuit also noted that Driscoll regularly solicited such funds during his sermons.
The legal battle is but the latest in a long history of scandals surrounding Driscoll, who founded Mars Hill in 1996 and eventually grew it to an estimated 13,000 worshipers gathered at 15 campuses each Sunday. Driscoll rose to fame as the "foul-mouthed preacher," often infusing his sermons and books with profanity and explicit discussions of sex and preaching messages that championed complementarianism — the idea that God designated men to hold traditional leadership positions while primarily tasking women with rearing children. He also sparked ire from many Christians for his hyper-masculine theology, once decrying "effeminate" pastors and arguing that Jesus Christ — typically described as a Prince of Peace — was actually a messiah with a "commitment to make someone bleed."
"I cannot worship a guy I can beat up," Driscoll told Relevant Magazine in 2007.
But while his brash persona won Driscoll converts early on, things began to unravel at Mars Hill in 2012, when members of the church went public to claim that the pastor had a habit of bullying his own congregants, "shunning" members his ministers declared "unruly" for questioning church teaching or governance. Others claimed he was "verbally violent" and "quick-tempered" with his staff, and when Driscoll dismissed the accusations form the pulpit as inaccurate statements from "anonymous" members, a Facebook group entitled "Dear Pastor Mark & Mars Hill: We Are Not Anonymous" was formed that quickly accrued hundreds of members.
Driscoll's lucrative publishing career also came under fire. He was accused of plagiarizing whole sections of his book A Call to Resurgence in 2013, something Driscoll denied passionately before eventually admitting to "citation errors." Many in his church were also outraged the following year when news broke that he had hired a company to artificially inflate sales of his next book in order to make the New York Times bestseller list.
But the most damaging blow to his public image came in 2014, when blogger Warren Throckmorton published 100 pages of comments Driscoll allegedly posted to a message board using the pseudonym "William Wallace II" in 2000. The comments, which Driscoll said were emblematic of his "angry young prophet days," were awash with sexism and homophobia: the poster blasted LGBT people as "damn freaks," bemoaned the descent of the United States into a "pussified nation," and belittled another female commenter, saying, "I also do not answer to women … If you are the pastor, quit your job and repent."
The firestorm was eventually enough to push Driscoll to resign as pastor of Mars Hill in October 2014 after members of the church's board released a statement saying he was guilty of "arrogance, responding to conflict with a quick temper and harsh speech, and leading the staff and elders in a domineering manner."
Driscoll then laid low for almost two years, only to reemerge this February when he announced his intention to plant a new church in Phoenix, Arizona.

Contributed by resident fantasy fanatic, Tilt'd Toledo
Trailing by 6½ games, with one day to go, you'd think it was time to pull the goaltender, but since I need a shutout or at least a win, I'll have to believe in Peter Budaj.
Ah, Week 23 of the fantasy hockey schedule, how I love thee. After five months of playing a normal fantasy league, the past ten days have turned into a massive streaming war, where any warm body who suits up on a Friday evening becomes a legitimate replacement for a guy you drafted in the middle rounds, and kept rostered for 22 weeks. In the wake of last week's Trade Deadline, the number of daily transactions has climbed steadily over the past 9 days, to the point that they can no longer be viewed on a single page of Add/Drops. While not every owner has reason to abandon their conservative approach, I wish a few more managers had been actively taking part in this week's activities.
When last we spoke, my Nepean Hotspurs were actively pursuing buyers for several underachievers, including my four Avs from Draft Day (Budaj, Arnason, Tucker and Clark). Fortunately, I was more successful at purging my deadweight than FG was, as I was able to find takers for the three skaters. In my biggest trade last week, I sent Arnason, Enver Lisin, Michael Peca and Chris Neil to Puckdogs, for Jamie Lundmark and three scrubs. Then I packaged Tucker, along with Tom Poti, Eric Perrin and Chris Phillips, in exchange for Todd Marchant and three scrubs. Finally, I sent Clark, along with Randy Jones, Jeff Schultz and Chris Thorburn, in exchange for Cal Clutterbuck, Aaron Ward, Roman Polak and some scrub. The net result was that I cleared the worst 12 of my players for Lundmark, Marchant, Clutterbuck and 9 streamable players. That's how you clear the books.
Immediately, I began dropping the minor leaguers and backup goalies for guys who happened to be playing last Friday. I then flipped those guys an hour later for guys who were playing last Saturday. Unfortunately, my Week 22 opponent was also raiding the waiver wire for anyone he could find, and my 11-8 victory actually dropped me into 8th place. Christ4Life took advantage of Puckdogs' lack of a Lundmark, to leapfrog over me into 7th place. The pounding Puckdogs took over those three days seems to have discouraged him from soldiering on, and that has contributed to be my own downfall.
Week 23 began with four playoff spots still open for the 6 of us who still had a reasonable chance. The 3rd place team, Koivulev, would face an easy matchup against the 12th place team. The 4th place team, Rock'em Sock'em, drew a dead team. The 5th place team, Cent 25, would go up against the now-dormant Puckdogs. The 6th place team, Mother Puckers, also lucked out with a matchup against another truly dead team. The 7th place Christ4Life also drew a middle-of-the-pack opponent, while my own 8th place team faced the biggest test of the week, going up against the 9th place squad who was entertaining the idea of a come-from-behind lunge for the 6th spot.
For my team to make it, I needed to be near perfect AND hope that one of my five competitors had an unlikely collapse. Or so I thought. It turns out that my 15-3 lead, as it stands now, will not be enough to get me in, even if I do catch the 6th place Mother Puckers (8-7) or the 7th place Christ4Life (13-4). I will need to catch BOTH of them. If things stay almost the way they are now I may catch Mother Puckers, but I still need to make up ground to catch Christ4Life. A lot of ground.
If I fail to qualify for the post-season, I'll be blaming the inactivity of a couple of guys, the past week or two. Puckdogs, who had an outside shot from 10th place at the time of the Lundmark trade, in stead stopped playing last Friday. His decision to lay down early netted Christ4Life a (16-1-4) week, enough to take 7th place from me. This week, Puckdogs has allowed Cent 25 to amass another 12-6 lead against him, cementing Cent 25's spot in the Top 6 in the standings. Tied with Puckdogs for 10th place, Bella's Pucksters has also failed to make the necessary moves to compete in this wacky streaming war, giving Christ4Life another 13-4 lead. Had either of these two teams been as active as they needed to be, my chances at 6th would have greatly improved. Granted, my own Week 23 opponent has also been inactive, so my current 15-3 lead is probably just as skewed as Cent 25's and Christ4Life's, but I assert that had all three of these inactive guys been more active, my odds would have increased.
Oh well. Now what? I go for the 7th place trophy? I focus on my basketball teams? I contribute three features a day to Jibblescribbits?
Now, I get ready for baseball season. I don't know how many of you might be interested, but I was planning to form a league made up exclusively of Jibblescibbits readers. Look for that in the next couple of days.

I was a professional barista in my past life.* My job was more than just an after school or part-time college gig, and I was far more competent than those who steam milk into huge soap suds, who pull watery and weak shots of espresso, and who pump drinks full of syrup and sugar. I was bona fide. I had been trained by the best, award winning baristas in the area. I read all of the latest coffee trade news and gossip. I worked 40+ hours a week. My cappuccinos were crafted to such perfection that all of the Italians in town would come flocking to the shop, bringing with them their friends and family visiting from Europe. "The best cappuccino in town," they'd say, as I poured the perfect micro-foam in the shape of delicate hearts, tulips, swans, or rosettas. I went to trade shows, conferences, and competitions. I had a job with benefits. I was a professional.
But those days are far, far behind me. I'm proud of my barista skills and training, but I am relieved that I no longer have to bust my butt for rude customers, demanding management, and lazy coworkers. I don't smell like milk or coffee grounds, and my arms aren't dotted with burns or rashes from constant exposure to scalding hot machines or water. It's been years since I've slung espresso. Much to my consternation, however, when I'm feeling particularly anxious or dealing with an especially troubling conundrum, my unconscious and dreaming mind often returns me to coffee shops and cafes. In my dream worlds, coffee has become a literal manifestation of my anxiety....
Three years ago, I sat up most of the night in front of my computer, watching the debate on HB2, one of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws, live-streamed from the floor of the Texas Legislature. That was the night of Wendy Davis's courageous filibuster, and although I had been unable to drive to Austin to be part of the Unruly Mob in person, I was glued to the proceedings. In between watching debate, tweeting out and Facebooking links, and talking to my fellow activists who were terrified that this bill would pass and essentially end access to abortion and other forms of reproductive healthcare in Texas, I was silently thanking my high school debate coach for teaching me parliamentary procedure and how to "flow" debates. In the end, the Republican senators broke the chamber rules and voted the bill in just past midnight. Another special session would be called, and the bill would become law. It effectively closed the majority of abortion providers in Texas -- many of which also provided other vital healthcare.
Today, the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) struck down that law, citing two provisions -- that all abortion providers meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers, and that all abortion providers have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles -- as placing an undue burden on those seeking abortion care....
Due to a long-standing love, I began a project writing Tarot spreads based on fairy tales. That love also led me to a project with Lisa Hunt that is being published by U.S. Games this summer (2016). That is a Lenormand deck. I'm coming to an appreciation and understanding of Lenormand because of that and due to a class I took from the World Lenormand Association.
Thus through an enormous network of mythological narrative, every aspect of culture is cloaked in the relationship of ruler and ruled, creator and created. . . . [Sumerian] legend endows the Sumerian ruler-gods with creative power; their subjects are recreated as servants. . . . [This new narrative was] deployed with the purpose of conditioning the mind anew. (20, italics added)...

In the past, chess was a game almost for serious people, like Dr. Lasker or Dr. Tarrasch. But today a lot of rude, arrogant people play chess. Why?
In life, like attracts like.
As opposed to all those polite people like Alekhine, Nimzovitch, stienitz, or Staunton?
Why can't we be more like them?
(I guess theose nice folks quit coming, when they learned they were not allowed to smoke in the tournaments anymore. Now we're stuck with the non-smoking buttheads.)
BAD NEWS DEPT/REALITY CHECK TIME: Dr Tarrasch was a rude, arrogant and obnoxious asshole. Howard Staunton and lots of other "serious people" who you either never heard of or don't know anything about were also rude, arrogant chess players. And how do you know that the "rank-and-file chessplayers are anymore rude and arrogant (as a whole) than players from any other century?
Taken at face value, the OP's contention is that in the past, all chess players were well mannered and always behaved properly. In reality, ill-mannered people have existed since the beginning of time, and the game of chess has had it share of people whose public behavior occasionally left much to be desired.
Agreed. I just wanted to point out that, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with a person taking out their frustration on an object that feels no pain. There are rude and arrogant people in every walk of life. I'm guessing many of them would be far more polite if they thought their behavior would cause a lethal weapon to take out his anger on them rather than on a nearby chair.

The 2008 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, In the Heights, is soon to make an appearance in the very neighborhood that the musical celebrates, Washington Heights. The Broadway musical sensation is getting a revival of a sorts during a one-night-only concert to be held at the United Palace of Cultural Arts (located at Broadway and 175th Street) on February 11.
The In the Heights concert will feature members of the show's original Broadway cast and the national tour cast, including star (and co-writer) Lin-Manuel Miranda, Christopher Jackson, Karen Olivo, Mandy Gonzalez, Robin De Jesus, Janet Dacal, and Olga Merediz. Part of the proceeds from the In the Heights concert will go to support arts programs in Washington Heights, as well as The Broadway League's Family First Nights, a program designed to encourage at-risk families to regularly attend theater.
The event is being organized by The Broadway League's "Viva Broadway" initiative, which was established in order to help increase theater attendance among Latino audiences across the nation.

Although this question isn't directly about code it's related to programming and seems better put here than, say, serverfault or superuser.
I'm a developer with Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft's newest web server offering for developers is IIS Express. ScottGu indicated this combination is workable:
IIS Express will work with VS 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, will run on Windows XP and higher systems,
The only option I've seen so far, is to download WebMatrix which contains and uses IIS Express, but I cannot get it hooked into VS 2010, or to download IIS Express separately.
Any ideas?

Episode 5 is Out!
Episode 5 is out! As with every week, we leave up the episode for one week for free before taking it down. If you wanna get all 15 episodes, my RAW files, bonus videos, and more, see below.
As for Episode 5, join me in "What Happens When You Sit Too Close to the TV"! In this episode, I visit one of the most amazing places in the world, the Deadvlei in Namibia. While here taking photos, I share a story from when I was a little boy and got my first Atari 2600. This taught me something quite unexpected about colors.
Share your photos and discuss this Episode in Trey's Funky Lounge at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BecomingAnArtist/ or get the whole series at http://www.stuckincustoms.com/becoming-an-artist/
Notes from our amazing production team:
Entirely shot in Africa, Trey wanted to do something totally different, something he had never done before. This series explores the answers to the following questions…
"What is it like to become an artist?"
"What is it like to find that creative self inside of you?"
and for the practitioner: "How does take and post-process his photos?"
Trey begins each episode with a very personal story. These might be strange stories from his childhood, embarrassing stories as a grown-up, or just weird stories about how he became an artist. You'll hear how these stories emerged as life lessons which impacted his photography and art. The 15 episodes touch upon topics such as composition, color, light, and inspiration. This series will not only show you lots of photography tips & tricks but will inspire you to take your art in bold, new, and interesting directions.

It would be nice to have a DOM sub-forum in the PHP forum, seeing as there's one in the Javascript forum.
My reason for suggesting this is that i have found the PHP DOM library to be immensely powerful and useful, indeed it forms the backbone of all the CMS's that I have written and a lot of other things too.
BUT - I've discovered that each language's implementation of DOM seems to have its own little quirks and nuances that can have you sat there for ages thinking "WTF??" until you figure out that it's a peculiarity of that particular implementation. PHP's implementation is no exception! E.g. you can run into all sorts of memory pollution problems with the DOMNodeList class, if you're not careful (so I've discovered the hard way!). There are various other subtleties that I've learned the hard way too.
To have a PHP of sub-forum would be very helpful.

After a long drive from Marrakech through the mountains, this was a place of enchantment and peace at a reasonable price.
Initially wasn't looking for something so opulent as I was on a budget, however once I had been given the tour of the property and fell in love with the place.
Staff were attentitive and excellent, especially Mohammed.
I will definitely return, next time with my wife as an anniversary surprise as I know she wil love it also.

We have realized the first field transmission of 8 × 216.8-Gb/s Nyquist wavelength-division-multiplexing (N-WDM) signals over 1750-km G.652 fiber consisting of 950-km real and 800-km lab fibers with erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-only amplification. The average loss per span is 21.6 dB. Each channel is modulated with 54.2-Gbaud (216.8-Gb/s) polarization-division-multiplexing carrier-suppressed return-to-zero quadrature-phase-shift-keying (PDM-CSRZ-QPSK) data on a 50-GHz grid giving a record spectral efficiency (SE) of 4 b/s/Hz. Digital post filtering and 1-bit maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) are introduced into the offline digital signal processing (DSP) at the receiver to suppress noise, linear crosstalk and filtering effects. We have also investigated the co-transmission of 200 G PDM-CSRZ-QPSK and 200 G PDM 16-ary quadrature-amplitude-modulation (PDM-16 QAM) signals on a 50-GHz grid, and found that PDM-CSRZ-QPSK signals have better bit-error-rate (BER) performance for both back-to-back and 700-km transmission cases. Meanwhile, PDM-16 QAM signals are subject to larger crosstalk from the neighboring Nyquist QPSK channels.

At What Cost?: Sun in Leo 2016 Issue
In the Eastern USA we're at the peak of the summer season. Somehow, the fact that the Sun's rays are shining through Leo now makes sense. Everyone is drawn to enjoy the fun of the season, and entertaining or being entertained takes a big chunk out of the week. That's one of the key things about Leo: Leo is the key to experiencing what we talk about when we say something like, "living the good life." But this year, the cycle of the Sun in Leo arrives with many of the old reliable structures out of kilter. In one way or another, the world is in turmoil. Could it be time to reevaluate what that good life really means? Read More

According to NFL.com's Albert Breer it looks like Ed Reed will be playing football for the Houston Texans. In a text from Reed to Breer, he told him that he plans to sign with Houston. Reed played his whole career in Baltimore looks to close that chapter after winning a Super Bowl as a Raven. Last week Reed went to Houston to talk with the Texans front office, but he did not agree to deal. Now it seems that he has agreed in principle to play for the Texans. John Harbaugh, who coached Ed in Baltimore, texted NFL.com about Reed leaving the team. In his text he wrote, "Ed is a great friend and player. I will always appreciate our time together." With early reports coming out of the deal, Reed will plan to make around $4 million per year for three years. When Harbaugh was at the NFL owners meetings this week reporters asked him if he thought Ed would came back to play in Baltimore. John told them, "On the hopeful scale, I'd say it's of high hope. It's high on the measuring stick. We'll just have to see how it works out." As the Texans were courting Reed to play for them last week. Miami alums and Texans players Andre Johnson and Chris Myers went out to dinner with Reed to help convince him to play in Houston. The Ravens are losing players left and right to free agency. So far Anquan Boldin, Paul Kruger, Dannell Ellerbe, and Bernard Pollard are gone. Some current Ravens players are upset at this new Ravens trend. Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith went on Twitter to voice his concern saying, "No Reed or Ray in Baltimore????? This season is gonna be weird." The Super Bowl hangover is going to be a lot much harder to avoid for the Ravens with all these notable players going to play for other teams.

Newly-crowned Serie A champions Juventus came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at home to Cagliari on Saturday.
The hosts fell behind thanks to Victor Ibarbo's brilliant solo effort, before Mirko Vucinic came off the bench in the second-half to snatch a point.
Juventus made five changes to the side that won at Atalanta last week, with Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Claudio Marchisio, Arturo Vidal and Sebastian Giovinco all given starts.
Cagliari made three alterations to the side that lost 1-0 at home to Parma last week, in an attempt to turnaround a run of form that had seen them record four games without a win.
Juventus were keen to get the title celebrations off to a good start and were unlucky not to be in front after just 10 minutes when Vidal forced a brilliant fingertip save from Michael Agazzi after unleashing a stinging drive from distance.
Just a minute later though, the visitors took an unlikely lead thanks to Ibarbo's fine effort, as he picked up the ball from the edge of his own box and drove the length of the field before slipping the ball under Marco Storari.
Moments later there was more bad news for the hosts, as Barzagli limped off on his return from injury to be replaced by Martin Caceres.
The home side struggled to take hold of the game for much of the first period, with Cagliari frustrating their opponents in midfield.
Giovinco nearly restored parity just after half an hour, crashing a free-kick against the crossbar with Agazzi beaten.
That effort reinvigorated Juventus, and they were unlucky not to be level three minutes before the break when Vidal fired over after meeting Emanuele Giaccherini's fizzed cross at the back post.
The opening minutes of the second period saw the introduction of Vucinic for Giovinco, as Juventus looked for an early second-half breakthrough.
Giaccherini came close ten minutes after the restart, forcing a fine save from Agazzi, who was also called upon to deny Alessandro Matri moments later.
The pressure began to build, and Juventus eventually found themselves level just after the hour mark, when Vidal's clever flick-on across goal found the Montenegrin, who was left with a simple finish from close-range.
Juventus were nearly ahead in unusual circumstances just a few minutes later, when Mauricio Isla's cross was met by Marchisio's shoulder before drifting just wide of the post.
The home side began to tighten their grip as the game wore on, with Fabio Quaglierella and Isla both creating decent opportunities, but a dogged Cagliari defence managed to keep their opponents at bay and earn a point.
