It just works .
It's perfect, but I recommend downloading the plugin and just grabbing the few lines of actual code and adding that to functions.php. I'm glad it is a plugin, though, because this was certainly the easiest way of finding the needed code!
Does one job, and does it well.
In my case I needed to rename images to lowercase to ensure they had unique names regardless of case. UNIX servers allow 'MIxEdCasE.jpg' and 'mixedcase.jpg', but then backing up to a windows machine creates problems with them overwriting. This plugin solves that problem, so thanks.

Got the whole Fam to do the Dover 5K to start 2012.
Fanstastic! I hope you and your family enjoy the 2012 start.
Excellent idea! I'm trying to get my fiance to do a 5k with me but idk if that's gonna happen... lol
What a terrific way to start out running in 2012! I need to get myself signed up for some races this year!!!
Best of Luck, Darren. The wife is trying to stay in shape while recuperating from a knee/hip issue, but I'm forging ahead and looking to go from 5 and 10ks to try my first 1/2 marathons this year. The first one is in April, on very flat ground, so it should be a good test.

SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez is going to have to wait at least
one more turn to get back into the Mariners' rotation. Jeff Weaver
will gladly wait one more day to stay in it.
Seattle manager Mike Hargrove announced Wednesday that
Hernandez, the Mariners' ace who began this season nearly perfect
before straining his forearm on April 18, will not start in Yankee
Stadium on Friday as anticipated. The 21-year-old is now
tentatively scheduled to pitch on May 9 at Detroit, following arm
discomfort from a bullpen session that has since subsided.
"We'd rather be safe than sorry with him," Hargrove said.
"When we get to the ninth, and if Felix needs a few more days,
we'll give him [that]."
Cha Seung Baek, who was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma to replace
Hernandez when he went on the 15-day disabled list, will start
Friday in New York.
Weaver, 0-4 with an 18.26 ERA, will start against his former
Yankees on Saturday on an extra day of rest -- after a deep
discussion between last fall's World Series-clinching starter and
Mariners decision makers on what to do next with him.
Hernandez felt some discomfort during a bullpen session last
weekend. But he said he felt fine after throwing all his pitches
during another bullpen session, including the slider that
originally pained him most.
Hargrove said Hernandez will throw one more bullpen session and
then a simulated game before his tentative start against the
"I feel fine," Hernandez said. "I want to pitch."
He had allowed four hits in 17 scoreless innings -- including a
one-hitter at Boston -- before he left a start last month against
Minnesota after just one-third of an inning. He allowed three runs,
walked two and threw a wild pitch before he summoned trainers to
the mound.
Meanwhile, Weaver will stay in the rotation for at least one
more turn. The Mariners could have skipped him because of an off
He allowed six runs and seven hits while getting just one out
Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. Weaver has failed to pitch
beyond the third inning in three of his four starts with the
Mariners, who signed him last winter as a free agent from St. Louis
for one year and $8,325,000.
Weaver has given up 23 earned runs and 31 hits in 11 1/3
innings. His worst April had been in 2000 with Detroit, when he was
0-3 with a 6.00 ERA.
Now, he gets to a chance at redemption in front of the same fans
who often vilified him during his usually dreadful 2002 and '03
season with the Yankees.
"It's where his turn starts. And there aren't a whole lot of
easy touches in this league," Hargrove said.
Hargrove said the Mariners met with Weaver this week and "threw
a lot of things at him. He threw a lot of things at us, different
things he can do. We'll see."
Were some of the Mariners "things" demotion to the bullpen or
even designation for assignment, as the Los Angeles Angels did to
Weaver last summer after Weaver struggled for months?
"All options were discussed. It was real long," Hargrove said
of the talk. "We didn't just flip a coin."

Current Elliott Jeans
Hilary Rhoda in Current/Elliott
Model Hilary Rhoda attended the screening for Young Adult in New York. She wore a pair of the Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny in Camel Leopard. I am happy to spot Hilary. She has been quite M.I.A in the modeling world for quite some time. I think she needs to return back to the business. She was one my favorites that graced the magazines and runways.
Young Adult looks so hilarious. I cannot wait to go see it. Charlize Theron is really a chameleon. She plays the role of a bratty adult so well in this movie. Are any of you planning on seeing the film as well? You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $198.
Mandy Moore in Current/Elliott
Mandy Moore was spotted getting some lunch in Los Angeles, California. She wore her favorite brand, Current/Elliott. She chose the Ankle Skinny Jeans in Black. I really like these jeans. I wish Mandy showed the waistband a bit. They are faded out quite a bit and look almost like a silver coating.
Mandy seems to be getting quite a few more sightings now. I know she is in the works to be in a new show. I think when the show starts we will be seeing more of her. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Madison Los Angeles for $198.
Rachel Bilson in Current/Elliott
Rachel Bilson was spotted doing some shopping in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of Current/Elliott Boa Ankle Skinny jeans in Paprika. I really like the way she wore these. Pairing them with the sweater was a really great choice. These jeans have a lot of detail on them that should stand out.
I would like to see Rachel wear a pair of the suede pants by Current/Elliott. We haven't really spotted her venture out to other fabrications much. I don't think she is too much of a fan of the leather sheen, but I think the suede ones would look good on her. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $198.

Emma Roberts in Current/Elliott
Emma Roberts was spotted dropping by the Temperley Boutique in West Hollywood, California. She wore a pair of Current/Elliott Leggings with a Chanel bag, an Elizabeth and James Rory Jacket and the Taylor sunglasses. When I saw this jacket I knew someone was going to be caught in it. I find the style to be a fresh new take on the classic motorcycle jacket with the tweed sleeves.
Emma is making quite a few sightings this year here on DenimBlog. She has also been sporting quite a few brands and hasn't limited herself to just on one brand, which I like as it shows that she knows her fits and is wiling to try new things. You can click here to purchase Current/Elliott at Singer22.

[trig] theta = 2pi/3 convert from polar to rectangular form. (self.cheatatmathhomework)
submitted 2 years ago by arcoalien
So far, all I have is the reference angle which is 60 degrees (I hope), and that x=rcos(60degrees) --> x=r(1/2), y=rsin(60degrees) --> y=r(√3/2).
The answer is √3x+y=0. I have no idea how to get to that answer. Please help me, I really want to understand how to do this.
[–]kami_inu 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (3 children)
You're already pretty close, you need to correct the signs as 2pi/3 is 120o, not 60o.
Then you can just do x/y=a/b (a and b are the fixed values involving r), the r's cancel and you can rearrange.
[–]arcoalien[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Is x=r(-1/2) and y=r(√3/2), then? I did what you said and divided x by y to get -1/√3. I don't know what to do with the a/b, I don't recall learning that in class, I don't have it in my notes and it doesn't appear to be in the book. Can you explain it to me like I'm dumb please?
[–]kami_inu 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I just used a/b instead of the actual values because I'm lazy, nothing special there.
Your new x and y are correct, so we can do the following:
x/y = r(-1/2) / r(√3/2)
Now we can simplify the r out top and bottom
x/y = (-1/2) / (√3/2)
Next is the halves
x/y = (-1) / (√3)
Now multiply the bottom part on each side away
x√3 = -y
And last step is to add across

Beware running free Avira antivirus products on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 systems.
Earlier this month, after users reported that Avira's antivirus software was triggering a blue screen of death on their new Windows 8 systems, the free antivirus developer released an advisory confirming that "currently, the Avira products are not ready for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 (built on Windows 8)."
Tuesday, however, as part of a planned series of patches that will make its security software not just stable when being run on Windows 8, but also certified by Microsoft as being compatible, Avira released a fix for its 2013 antivirus software, which it said will eliminate the "stability problems" being experienced by customers.
"We are working very hard to get our products Windows 8 compatible as soon as possible," said Avira product manager Sorin Mustaca in a blog post. "The most important issues we are facing are related to the stability of the software and its integration in the Windows 8 operating system."
[ Compatibility issues aside, Windows 8 is good news for enterprise security. Read more at Windows 8: A Win For Enterprise Security. ]
In the interim, however, anyone who attempts to install Avira's software will still see a popup screen warning that "Windows8 is not yet officially supported by Avira Free Antivirus." In addition, Microsoft Windows 8 actively blocks installations of 2012 versions of Avira's products, although users can upgrade to the 2013 versions for free.
Avira makes one of the world's most-used antivirus applications. According to a report from OPSWAT, in the third quarter of 2012, Avira had the third highest global antivirus market share, commanding 12% of the market -- up 3% from the second quarter of the year -- and following Avast (18%) and Microsoft (14%), while placing ahead of ESET (11%) and Symantec (10%).
Which antivirus firms have Windows 8-compatible software? As of November 8, independent testing firm AV-TEST released a list of antivirus products that are compatible with Windows 8, albeit with some caveats. "Products on the list have been carefully tested by their developers, are fully supported by their vendors and reviewed by AV-TEST in the areas of protection, repair, and usability," said AV-TEST. "However, not all products are supporting all new Windows 8 features -- like the new user interface -- yet."
But while the top 10 antivirus vendors -- based on OPSWAT's market share report -- all make the AV-TEST compatibility list, Avira's products are absent. That said, The Register reported that user feedback indicates that Avira isn't the only product encountering Windows 8 compatibility hiccups, and even products listed as being compatible aren't necessary stable.
Clearly, however, Avira missed the ball on ensuring that its flagship product was Windows 8-compatible in time for the new operating system's launch last month. Mustaca detailed in part what had gone wrong for Avira's developers: "The Windows 8 operating system, and its equivalent in the server area called Windows Server 2012, have a completely new architecture. Their architecture forces the software which runs on them to make significant changes in the frameworks and the APIs -- application programming interfaces -- used to write the software."
Going forward, Avira will try and make its product's able to integrate with the Windows 8 Application Center, through which users will be able to activate or deactivate the product, update the product, or purchase a top-up license. Regardless, a support document from Avira said that now, "as far as we could test, our software provides the protection it was designed for, it can update properly so that the latest virus signatures and engine are reliably delivered and inform the user about the issues encountered."
Once Avira gets those issues ironed out, Mustaca said the company will submit its product for reevaluation by Microsoft in the hope that it will sign off on the software as being compatible with Windows 8. Company officials expect to make that submission in the coming weeks.
"We will continue to rollout (sic) patches in the next few weeks," Mustaca said. "We hope to be able to remove very soon the popup at the beginning the installation which informs the user that we don't officially support this operating system."

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

A Bedford man is charged with second-degree wanton endangerment after authorities say he attempted to run bicyclists off the road during the summer in his truck.
Following a two-month investigation, Oldham County Police on Tuesday arrested Robert James Wagner, 22, after he reportedly confessed he had attempted to run a cyclist off an Oldham County roadway in August.
Trimble County Fiscal Court plans to discuss animal control in the county at the Dec. 20 regular monthly meeting.
County Attorney Perry Arnold told the court that several residents recently have complained that calls to Dan Flinkfelt, the animal control officer assigned to the county by the Kentucky Humane Society, are going unanswered.
The county contracts with KHS for animal control, paying $55,000 annually for the service. Flinkfelt is based at the KHS Henry County animal shelter in Eminence.
When Trimble County High School guidance counselor Brigette Kunselman saw a story in The Banner that said Bedford may not host its annual Christmas event this year, she had an idea.
With permission from Principal Stirling "Buddy" Sampson, she asked the senior class the following day if anyone would be interested in pitching in to help save "Light Up Bedford."
Pastor Melissa Fain recently was installed as the new pastor to lead the Bedford Christian Church, Disciples of Christ.
The installation ceremony was Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010, with the Rev. Greg Alexander from Christian Church Regional Office in Lexington, Ky., officiating.
Ms. Fain was selected from numerous applicants received by the pastor Search Committee and was determined to be the best match for the local congregation to lead the church forward.

This Thanksgiving go green and keep in mind the local economy by following these simple tips.
First, when decorating indoors and out, consider using items from your backyard – pine branches or dried flowers, dried leaves and branches, and, of course, gourds. Or, if you have farming friends, see if they have hale bales, dried cornstalks, or dried corn cobs, or pumpkins that you can buy or barter for. Also consider checking out the local farmers' market for organic decorations.
I am sure many of you are familiar with the old refrain, "Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." Until just a few years ago, I can't recall ever receiving a question about bed bugs.
But recently, bed bugs have been the topic of local and national news stories. They have infiltrated private homes and public areas, and we've received information about these infestations during Extension trainings.
The 2010 Trimble County High School Boys cross country team made school history last week, as they conquered what no other boys' program has been able to accomplish: back-to-back regional championships.
The Lady Raiders' six year regional championship streak, however, came to an end this year, but the girls did earn regional runner-up honors.
The race featured teams from Danville, Sayre, Bracken County, Owen County, Carroll County, Lexington Christian Academy, St. Patrick, Burgin, Gallatin County, and Eminence.

Damn that Pissant!
FreeRepublic.com is up.
Soros-funded hackers, just a guess.
But...but...she has no chance of winning...so why would they go after her websites?!
Tammy's show should be on at 2:00 pm at this link.
I'm sure she'll have more info.
Just a bunch of dumb ass liberals with nothing better to do in their pathetic little lives then to crash internet sites
LOL, well, he has a lot of time on his hands now.
What was that about keeping your enemies close?
too funny
UPDATE: Tweet from Tammy Bruce... this may be a GoDaddy server issue, not a cyber attack.
When and how did Pissant get kicked off? I always miss the fun stuff!
Over the weekend. He crossed the line when he essentially accused Palin of performing a lesbian act with Tammy Bruce.
Or mabey ATF ran out of illegal things to do.
I smell the fear.
If we can't break your spirit, we'll try and break your back.
~The Left
They are still living with there mommies and living in the basement.
If I miss with the first round, I'll empty the mag and reload.
Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguninis Requirement)
Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry.
LOL... Well, he does have the time now.
you won't miss. haha
They're skeered. The leftist strategy is to go on the offense whenever possible. The GOP are still playing by "civilized" rules, but the left has no issue with playing "dirty."
Also, the idea that she cannot win is just that--an idea. It's propaganda to scare potential voters away from exercising their free will. It's a ploy to get voters to support someone like Romney, or some other pre-selected candidate supported by the "elite." Make no mistake, letting the GOP leadership pick your candidate is a guarantee for more of what we've seen in politics for the past two decades.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. ...
Heh, heh, heh.
Where's "The Jackal" when you need him?
If zERO runs for a second term, the eligibility issue alone can defeat him, imho.
I´ll be voting for her.
Wow. Their server is down.
You'd have less embarrassment if you asked the mod to pull this thread.
Just sayin'.
Well, you know, things got a little slow at the capitol in WI, the porta-potties were full, time for the monthly bath, and the bongo drummers when home so what is a government subsidized, useless, leftist supposed to do? Go home and hack Palin websites. Simple. What a useless, bunch of brainwashed, brain dead geeky leftist pawns.
Well, I'm not really embarrassed... I also don't know how to ask a moderator anything.
You could be nice and do it for me,.? Thanks.
They must be afraid of losing more of thier ranks to Sarah.
If they were sure of the dems, they wouldn't have to come out of the gutter long enough to do these sort of things.
Go Sarah, go!
Me too. She must be right on target.
Just address a reply to them.
Admin Moderator, the Palin sites were apparently not hacked. Looks like they have a server down.
In federal custody...
Go here:
Also see post 121 on that thread.
These are the same butt-cracks that elected that vastly ignorant Soros puppet to the Presidency (can't use the term WHITE House any more).
These are simply anarchists, intent on the specific downfall of the U.S. government. Of course, any government will do.
Their only measure of self-worth is how much they've destroyed this week. This is the result of legislation that opposes castration for meth-heads and child abusers.
My guess is that it's either ChiCom or Muzzie hackers retaliating against her Indian and Israeli visits and statements.
So, that's what happened to the urine-aunt, I will miss him like a toothache that went away.
Totally off the subject; I just upgraded Firefox from 3.xx.xx to 4.0 and it is 10 times faster.
If you use Firefox {or not} this new version is dynamite.
Thank you. I thought it would be fairly innocuous but that is a seriously disgusting dig at those two women. I never realized what a sickie that guy was.
I did thanks.
I wonder what kind of mouthwash pissant would use if his mama made him clean out his garbage hole?
Oh well. Keep your guard up. Even paranoids have enemies...
So it was just Tammy hyperventilating over a down server? LOL
They love creating the monster.
What a testimony to Gov. Palin's strength, effectiveness and relevance!
"They love creating the monster."
This is how the left competes in the arenaof ideas...by silencing their competition.
obviously we knewe that the server was down, the question is why, since there was no notice that it would be taken down for any legit reason.
So, Tammy is likely correct.
Or not.
All equal More Votes for Palin!
I'll have to update the home computer (iMac). My office machine is a Fedora Linux box, and the package manager handles the updates for me, but usually a bit behind the rest of the world as the Fedora team makes sure everything works correctly before pushing updates. (It just pushed 3.6.16 to me today, even though 4 is available.)

Analysis of signals from superposed relaxation processes69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348634View Description Hide Description
System functions of many linear physical systems or autocorrelation functions of their output signals are often a sum of relaxator terms with different relaxation times and amplitudes. In the time domain a superposition of exponential decays e −γt is observed, while in the frequency domain a sum of relaxator terms of structure 1/(γ+iω) is measured. Thus, the response is either the Laplace transform of the system function or its Stieltjes transform, respectively. In both cases it is the task of an analyst to gain the relaxation times and weights from the measured signal. An exact reconstruction of the system function is limited by the noise, measuring time, and number of points measured. In this paper procedures for the approximate reconstruction of the system function are introduced. The equivalence of most of them is shown and their properties are discussed. An expression for the limit of resolution is derived for a given signal‐to‐noise ratio. The results are applicable to experimental data from various physical systems. For illustration the autocorrelation function of the light scattered from polymer solutions and the response of photoconductors are used.
Analytic potential in a linear radio‐frequency quadrupole trap with cylindrical electrodes69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348635View Description Hide Description
We have analyzed a linear radio‐frequency ion trap of finite length employing a four‐sectored hollow cylinder enclosed between two end caps. Solutions to Laplace's equation determine the effective potential inside the trap due to the rf trapping field, the static confining potential from dc‐biased end caps, and the potential arising when a dc bias is present on the cylinder sectors. The finite length of a linear trap results in field distortion at the trap ends due to fringing effects. We have demonstrated that near the ends, the effective potential arising from the rf fields acts to propel ions out of the trap. We have further shown that the addition of a dc bias on two neighboring cylinder sectors generates an inhomogeneous field in the trap which produces a force on the ions along the trap's long axis in a direction dependent on the sign of the bias. An exact analytic determination of the potential can be used to determine the profile of the trapped ion cloud.
Influence of Te concentration on the infrared cathodoluminescence of GaAs:Te wafers69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348636View Description Hide Description
Cathodoluminescence(CL)scanning electron microscopy has been used to investigate the nature and distribution of defects involved in the infrared emission of GaAs:Te wafers. Spectral and CL‐contrast changes as a function of doping level have been found. Profiles of infrared CL intensity across the wafers show an inverted U shape.
Frequency pulling by hyperfine σ transitions in cesium beam atomic frequency standards69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348637View Description Hide Description
It is demonstrated that frequency pulling by Δm=±1 hyperfine σ transitions, here called Ramsey pulling, is a real calculable effect in atomic beamfrequency standards. An analytic expression for the effects of Ramsey pulling is derived using perturbative techniques for the driving σ transitions, while treating the primary π transitions exactly. It is shown that these Ramsey pulling effects are intrinsically different from Rabi pulling in origin, manifestation, and elimination. These predictions are compared to measurements performed on a cesium beam atomic frequency standard, giving good quantitative verification of the theory and a clear demonstration of the existence of these effects.
Calibration of the nitrogen vibron pressure scale for use at high temperatures and pressures69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348638View Description Hide Description
Coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering(CARS) and spontaneous Raman spectroscopy have been used to obtain vibrational spectra of shock‐compressed and static high‐pressure fluid nitrogen, respectively. Vibrational frequencies were obtained from the CARS data using a semiclassical model for these spectra. Spontaneous Raman vibrational frequencies were determined by fitting data using a Lorentz‐shape line. A functional form was found for the dependence of the vibrational frequency on pressure and temperature to 40 GPa and 5000 K, respectively. By fitting the vibrational data to this form, a pressure scale based on the fluid nitrogen vibron has been calibrated for use at very high temperature. The nitrogen vibron pressure scale was used to determine the fluid‐δ nitrogen phase boundary up to 20 GPa and 900 K.
Induced multipole strengths for two dielectric spheres in an external electric field69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348639View Description Hide Description
Two nonidentical spheres are immersed in a uniform external electric field. Induced multipoles through hexadecapole are found along the mutually perpendicular axes of the system. These multipoles are expressed directly in terms of the coefficients that appear in the infinite series representation of the potential.
Chemical generation of optical gain at 471 nm69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348640View Description Hide Description
Stimulated emission on the P(43) and R(70) transitions of the BiF (A‐X, v'=1 to v'=4) band was demonstrated, using the reaction of premixed FN3 and Bi(CH3)3. The transient chemistry was thermally initiated by a pulsed CO2 laser, using SF6 as a sensitizer, while amplification was detected using an étalon‐tuned pulsed dye laser probe and a sensitive cavity ringdown technique. The magnitude of the peak gain, estimated at 3.6×10−4/cm, was consistent with a negligible concentration of the terminal BiF(X, v'=4) state, based on the calculated optical cross section and the peak concentration of the BiF (A, v'=1) state, as measured by absolute photometry.
A novel three‐guide optical coupler using a taper‐formed waveguide69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348615View Description Hide Description
A novel taper‐formed three‐guide coupler is presented. Its unique power coupling characteristics are experimentally demonstrated. By virtue of adopting the taper‐formed waveguide, the severe restrictions imposed on the device fabrication process are greatly relaxed. This makes the coupler advantageous to application in a variety of integrated optics, such as power splitters and combiners, and as constituent elements of devices like optical isolators.
Scaling of the electron‐beam‐pumped xenon chloride laser69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348616View Description Hide Description
A comprehensive kinetics and extraction model of electron‐beam‐excited xenon chloride lasers is used to examine the feasibility of constructing a megajoule‐class excimer laser. The ratio of small‐signal gain to absorption scales nearly logarithmically with pump rate over the range studied, 10 kW/cm3 to 1 MW/cm3, and limits extraction efficiency to 20%–50%. Active volume dimensions are practically constrained to 1–2 m in length and to ∼2 m in width, with efficient extraction possible for pulse lengths of 2 μs or less. Single modules operating in the technologically conservative, low‐pump‐power (≤100 kW/cm3 ) regime should be capable of producing pulse energies of 40 kJ.
Universal dispersion and power curves for transverse magnetic waves propagating in slab waveguides with a nonlinear self‐focusing substrate69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348617View Description Hide Description
For TM‐polarized waves, a mode‐power measure is applied to characterize optical waveguides with a nonlinear self‐focusing substrate, producing a concise overview of the waveguidingproperties at a given power for various designs. We also show how birefringence varies between the TE and TM modes as a function of the total power carried by the waveguide. Since our description is based on universal parameters, our results are applicable to different geometries of waveguide through simple scaling rules.
Photovoltaic spatial light modulator69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348618View Description Hide Description
A novel concept for implementing a high‐resolution spatial light modulator using a thin slab of photorefractive LiNbO3 crystal is described. This method uses the photovoltaiceffect to impress phase information onto the crystal without the use of holography where coherent reference beams are required. Experimental demonstration as well as an analysis of the operation and performance of the device are given.
Thermal effects on cavity stability of chromium‐ and neodymium‐doped gadolinium scandium gallium garnet laser under solar‐simulator pumping69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348619View Description Hide Description
A chromium‐ and neodymium‐codoped gadolinium scandium gallium garnet (Cr:Nd:GSGG) crystal was tested for pulsed‐ and continuous‐wave (cw) laser operations with a flashlamp and solar simulator as pumping sources. The crystal has been considered as a good candidate for a solar‐pumped laser because of its broad absorption bands over the solar spectrum. However, it was observed experimentally and theoretically that its cw laser operation is difficult at high pump powers because too many thermal lensing effects are induced. Only at low solar‐simulator beam intensities of up to 1500 solar constants (203 W/cm2 ) was cw laser operation lasting longer than 10 min achieved. For higher pump beam intensities of up to 2500 solar constants (338 W/cm2 ), a quasi‐cw‐laser operation was obtained with continuously chopped pumping with a duty cycle of 0.5 and a repetition rate of 13 Hz. The experimental result was compared with the calculated stability condition of the laser resonator for various pump powers and showed that the thermal focusing of the Cr:Nd:GSGG is 15–8 times greater than that of the neodymium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for the pump beam intensities from 1000 to 3000 solar constants.
Rapid‐phase transitions of GeTe‐Sb2Te3 pseudobinary amorphous thin films for an optical disk memory69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348620View Description Hide Description
Amorphous films having a component of the stoichiometric GeTe‐Sb2Te3 pseudobinary alloy system, GeSb2Te4 or Ge2Sb2Te5 representatively, were found to have featuring characteristics for optical memory material presenting a large optical change and enabling high‐speed one‐beam data rewriting. The material films being sandwiched by heat‐conductive ZnS layers can be crystallized (low power) or reamorphized (high power) by laser irradiation of very short duration, less than 50 ns. The cooling speed of the sandwiched film is extremely high: more than 1010 deg/s, which permits the molten material to convert to the amorphous state spontaneously; whereas, a low‐power pulse irradiation of the same duration changed the exposed portion into the crystalline state. The optical constant changes between the amorphous state and the crystalline state of them were measured to be large: from 4.7+i1.3 to 6.9+i2.6 and from 5.0+i1.3 to 6.5+i3.5, respectively. The crystallized portion was known to have a GeTe‐like fcc structure by an analytical experiment using transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and x‐ray and electron diffraction methods. The high crystallization speed is ascribed to (1) the pseudobinary system which can form crystalline compositions without any phase separation, (2) the high symmetry of the fcc structure which is the nearest to the random amorphousstructure, (3) the high‐energy difference between the amorphous state and the fcc crystal state.
Analysis and optimization of graded‐index separate‐confinement heterostructure waveguides for quantum well lasers69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348593View Description Hide Description
Waveguide structures for quantum well(QW) lasers are analyzed numerically by a straightforward 2×2 matrix approach. It is shown that this approach is capable of analyzing separate‐confinement heterostructure (SCH) waveguides, having any arbitrarily graded‐index (GRIN) profile in the waveguide layers and any number of QWs in the active layer, to any desired level of accuracy. Using this waveguide analysis, general GRIN‐SCH waveguide structures of QW lasers can be optimized for maximum confinement factors. It is estimated that the laser threshold current density can be reduced typically by 10% as a result of this waveguide optimization.
On the normal acceleration sensitivity of contoured quartz resonators with the mode shape displaced with respect to rectangular supports69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348594View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the normal acceleration sensitivity of contoured quartz resonators with rectangular supports vanishes when the centers of the mode shape and support rectangle coincide. This result is a consequence of symmetry and applies to many other shapes. Since it is essentially impossible to realize this situation in practice, an analysis of the influence of an offset of the centers on the normal acceleration sensitivity is performed. The biasing deformation is determined by means of a variational approximation procedure using the variational principle with all natural conditions for anisotropic static flexure. The very important accompanying strains varying quadratically across the thickness are determined recursively, as in earlier work. The resulting flexural biasing states are employed in an existing perturbation equation along with the equivalent trapped‐energy‐mode shapes of the contoured resonators to calculate the normal acceleration sensitivities. It is shown that for small offsets the acceleration sensitivity increases linearly with offset, and orientations for which this effect is minimized are found.
Temperature distribution during heating using a high repetition rate pulsed laser69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348595View Description Hide Description
A general equation has been derived for computing the temperature distribution produced in a substrate heated by a high repetition rate pulsed laser. The theoretical predictions have been compared with experimental results obtained for etching of Mn‐Zn ferrite in KOH solution using a copper vapor laser. The effects of the laser power and substrate scan speed on the temperature distribution have been investigated, and the predicted melt‐zone boundaries have been compared with the experimentally observed width, depth, and shape of the etched grooves.
Measurement of electrical avalanches and optical radiation near solid insulators in high pressure (up to 0.3 MPa) nitrogen gas69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348596View Description Hide Description
Electron and ion avalanches have been recorded near a variety of insulators (plexiglas, teflon, high‐density polyethylene, low‐density polyethylene, polypropylene, delrin, polyvinyl chloride, and nylon) in nitrogen gas at pressures of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 MPa. With the exception of nylon, suppression of avalanches has been observed in the presence of insulators. In addition to electron and ion avalanches, simultaneous measurement of optical radiation associated with an electronavalanche was successfully carried out. Qualitative explanations have been provided for the suppression of avalanches near most insulators and an anomalous growth of avalanches near nylon insulators.Photoemission from nylon surfaces appears to be responsible for the enhanced growth of avalanches near nylon insulators. More precise measurements of optical radiation are needed to better understand the electron‐photon interactions near a solidinsulator in a gaseous dielectric medium.
Chamber material effects on actinometric measurements in rf glow discharges69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348597View Description Hide Description
The relative concentration of atomic fluroine was measured in a CF4 rf glow discharge using the actinometric technique. The dependence of fluorine concentration on power, pressure and flow are presented and shown to be dependent upon reactor wall material and electrode material.
Electric field induced emission as a diagnostic tool for measurement of local electric field strengths69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348598View Description Hide Description
The phenomenon of electric field induced (EFI) emission is examined in several diatomic and polyatomic molecules. The possibility of using this phenomenon as a diagnostic tool to measure, nonintrusively, the strength and direction of local electric fields in plasmas is discussed. An estimate of the EFI signal emitted in a typical application plasma is given. This yields a lower bound on the detector sensitivity necessary to exploit EFI emission in practical applications. It is concluded that, at present, the EFI signal could be measured by some very sensitive infrared detection schemes available. Current progress in infrared detector technology, if maintained, could result in the possibility of utilizing EFI emission on a more routine basis. This would allow measurement of electric fields in plasmas of species that are not suitable candidates for any of the other currently available schemes which measure such fields.
A boundary‐layer model for a plane free‐burning high‐pressure gas‐discharge arc69(1991); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.348599View Description Hide Description
A boundary‐layer model for a plane free‐burning high‐pressure gas‐discharge arc is given. For the dependence on the temperature, a rule given by Elenbaas [T h e H i g h P r e s s u r e M e r c u r y V a p o u r D i s c h a r g e (North‐Holland, Amsterdam, 1951)]is used for the electrical conductivity and power‐law rules for the dynamic viscosity and the thermal conductivity. The specific heat is assumed to be constant. It is shown that a similarity transformation can be applied. The upward velocity increases with the square root of the core temperature. Graphs are given which show how the temperature rise in the arc depends upon the applied current.

CHINA: Exports top 1m in record time
By Chris Wright | 31 January 2013
China exported 1m vehicles in a calendar year for the first time ever in 2012.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said shipments rose 30% to 1.06m units last year while domestic car sales increased 4%. Exports of passenger cars jumped 39% to 661,000 units, buses and trucks climbed 17% to 395,000 units.
Chery was the top exporter with exports totalling 184,800 units, up 16% from a year earlier. Next came Geely with 100,800 units, followed by Great Wall, 96,500. Algeria was the biggest buyer, followed by Russia, Iraq, Iran and Chile.
China's car exports are growing at the fastest rate in the world. The country has achieved the 1m milestone just 11 years after it began exporting cars. Korea achieved the feat in 1995, 19 years after Hyundai Motor first sold its Pony model in Latin America.

How do I pronounce 'Gaudi', in the name of Antoni Gaudí (the architect)?

The "au" in Catalan (his native language) is pronounced like English "ow" (how, cow ...etc) and there's an accent on the "i" to indicate emphasis, so you pronounce it as "gow-DEE". However, most native English speakers would not be aware of the emphasis on the "i", so you most commonly hear "GOW-dee" in English-speaking countries.
The closest approximation to how a Spaniard, whether Castilian or Catalan, would say Gaudí is as
That won't sound very English, of course. That's because the second consonant is not one that occurs in English, and English-speakers often struggle to hear it clearly at all. That letter ‹d› there is actually a voiced dental approximant in Spanish, like a voiced ‹th› per English this, but not so strong. It can be very faint indeed.
If you just say the sound from English this there instead, it will be ok, and people will know whom you mean. If you say the sound of English dud, it won't be ok — at least if you are trying to sound like it's Spanish.

Why The U.S. Military Is Pursuing Energy Efficiency, Renewables And Net-Zero Energy Initiatives
The military has begun a transition to efficient and renewable energy. The Army is proceeding with its "Net Zero Energy" initiative, which means that they will aim to produce as much energy (and water, and waste) as they use. Cost and reliability are the primary reasons, but cutting carbon pollution is one of the outcomes.
Last month, the head of U.S. forces in the Pacific said that climate change was the most likely issue to concern the military. Two recent discussions shed some light on the efforts currently underway to allow the military to use less carbon-based fuels, and the explicit and implicit reasons behind those efforts.
Fueling the combat theater
Yesterday afternoon, Mike Breen, Executive Director of the Truman Project, hosted a conversation with Sharon E. Burke, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs at the Department of Defense. Entitled "Clean and Mean: DoD's Tactical and Operational Energy Innovations," it covered some of the tactics the military uses to more efficiently carry out its mission on the front lines.
Breen, a former U.S. Army infantry officer who served in Iraq, recalled the status quo at forward operating bases dependent on fossil fuel. Loud, inefficient generators burning gasoline. Unsealed tents that allowed air conditioning systems to cool the desert (racking up a $20 billion a year utility bill). Transmission and supply lines that began to feel more like a ball and chain weighing down mission-ready units.
The U.S. military is the largest single consumer of energy and oil on the planet. Assistant Secretary Burke explained how the DoD is dealing with a different frame of war with distributed operations all over the globe, from disaster relief to deterrence, fighting terrorism to peacekeeping. The military has to move fuel through long supply lines and sometimes contested areas. "It's a challenge for us," she said.
Burke has noted that "a $1 rise in the price of a barrel of oil translates to approximately $130 million over the course of a year." It's not just money at stake — fuel resupply endangers the lives of our men and women in uniform. Delivering fuel via truck over dangerous roads has led to heavy-lift helicopters often being used to deliver fuel to bases in Afghanistan.
To cut inefficient use of, and therefore dependence on, fossil fuels in the combat theater, the military has been doing things like adding solar panels to tents and backpacks and sealing tents with an insulating coating so cooled air does not leak. Mortar pits can be powered by the sun instead of an idling Humvee. Radio towers are getting electricity from solar panels instead of a generator that drinks gasoline, requiring resupply. The DoD now dispatches energy teams to these forward operating bases with deep policy knowledge of how renewable energy systems can be used, and they can work with soldiers on the ground to ascertain the best practical implementation. This leaves an experienced Chief Warrant Officer behind who can support the unit with these systems. As Ms. Burke said, it "doesn't sound very exotic, but it adds up."
This is about "mission capability," she said, and "what energy innovation can bring to the mission." Though some scoffed at the idea of solar panels at first, many grew to love the fact that they ran "without a hitch" and made no noise. Others loved the fact that flexible solar panels could recharge batteries, making it less necessary to carry the 18 pounds of batteries usually required to power things like night vision scopes. As with the rest of the solar industry, Burke said efficiency was the ultimate goal:
"What we do, we do to meet military needs…. With those solar panels, we are very interested in getting higher and higher efficiencies."
Renewable energy could allow the American military in combat zones to go farther, longer, and more quietly. Climate change was not a first or second reason given for the embrace of any of these renewable energy innovations, but they still reduce CO2 emissions
Electric vehicles on domestic military bases
Last month, the Pew Project on National Security, Energy, and Climate hosted an event focused on efforts by the U.S. military to deploy clean energy technologies that enhance security and improve operational effectiveness.
The panelists all said that the impetus for these renewable energy efforts started with statutory requirements, including "specific Executive Orders" and legislation. The goal, however, reflected a different kind of sustainability: As Dr. Camron Gorguinpour put it, "ultimately we're looking for things that make good financial sense."
Dr. Gorguinpour is the Director of Strategic Initiatives in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment, and Logistics. He detailed the many reasons that the DoD began a plug-in electric vehicle initiative two years ago. This concerns a non-tactical fleet of 200,000, meaning support cars and trucks on domestic bases. When looking at transitioning the fleet to efficient hybrid or electric vehicles, and installing charging stations, the DoD considered many options. There is currently a pilot program underway to try out all-electric vehicles on six bases in five different states:
"What is vehicle-to-grid? It's the idea that the battery is now an asset that is really primarily for energy. So if you consider the car you normally drive throughout your day, it's really a poorly-used asset. You're talking about maybe something that is functioning 3-5 percent of its useful life. The rest of the time it's parked in the parking lot while you're at work or at home. You only really drive your vehicle maybe a couple hours a day. So if you have a vehicle that can plug into the grid and provide services back to the grid, then all of a sudden your asset utilization rate is now 95 to 97 percent. It's really only not being used either as an energy source or a mobility resource when you're getting it fixed for repairs or maintenance. So the different types of things you can do with these batteries are significant."
Vehicle-to-grid resources also allow utilities to draw on and dump on a network of batteries to help address frequency regulation. This is when the grid needs help smoothing the minute-to-minute demand variations caused by thousands of consumers flipping switches on and off. When a network of electric vehicles provides this service, it earns valuable revenue. "How much value?" says Dr. Gorguinpour. "Kind of a lot." Enough to earn far more each month than a monthly lease for an all-electric Nissan Leaf. This is important because he said that cost concerns were the main priority with this program, with mission concerns a very close second.
The Army goes net zero energy
The Army's "Net Zero Energy" initiative, which started in 2010, is not imposed on individual bases from the top down. One hundred installations responded that they wanted to be net-zero, and the Department of Defense selected 17 for a nationwide pilot program. A site specific assessment helps to tailor any changes to current processes, while ensuring that mission requirements are not compromised while reducing cost. Geothermal electric and solar PV can be expected to start coming online in 2014, along with heat pumps. As Director of the Army Sustainability Office Kristine Kingrey put it:
"One of the things we tried to do with our program was look at the endpoint, look at the goals…. But again, as with the other services, it's got to be cost-effective."
Captain Kerry Gilpin, the Director of the 1 Gigawatt Task Force and Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Government, asked why the military was pursuing net-zero energy initiatives in the first place:
"The real reason we're doing this is very simple. Secretary Mabus has set two priorities: energy security and energy independence. … Basically we don't like having vulnerable supply lines … that are not difficult to disrupt. All threats, right? Natural disasters, manmade — anything that could threaten our ability to do our critical missions presents a problem for us.
He said that military bases used to have their own traditional power plants in the middle of last century, and then switched to being dependent on the civilian grid. Now, through solar arrays, wind farms, and waste-to-energy generating turbines, "the pendulum is swinging the other way." Captain Gilpin also made the case that a smart microgrid would help integrate renewable energy into a full electric grid:
"That's really where we're going. It matters because … a lot of the things that cause the commercial grid to be unreliable are things that we can't predict: natural disasters, manmade events. Thankfully we haven't had any of the latter, but certainly we've had many of the former and they appear to be increasing in frequency and duration and so on."
Climate Change
Former Senator John Warner Senator said that when he was Secretary of the Navy, "we never gave a moment's thought to the question of energy, and if anyone had said 'are you a Gigawatt Captain,' he'd have been court-martialed."
While some of those in the military do explicitly support directly addressing climate change through legislation, it wasn't clear exactly how these experts considered climate change in the context of all their renewable energy efforts. During the Q&A, one brave soul asked the panel how climate change factors into the decisions they all were making. The responses were hesitant:
Captain Gilpin: "Speaking for the Department, as I must, that's not really the main purpose we're doing this. We do have greenhouse gas legislated goals that they certainly will help to attain. So in that regard, they're absolutely a part of our planning and a part of our calculations on the projects we're trying to develop. So, it's legislated, it is important to us, it has meaning and merit. Still, I would say it's not the primary reason for doing these projects."
Dr. Gorguinpour: "I think part of the challenge with those types of challenges is it's hard to quantify. So you're trying to build a business case, an operational case, you can't really put it in numbers when people compare one against another."
Despite pushback from GOP members in Congress, many in the military are transitioning to renewable fuels that do not burn carbon dioxide. Although some aren't doing it explicitly because of climate change, ultimately the U.S. military will have to deal with climate migration, energy resource conflicts, and extreme weather disaster response.
38 Responses to Why The U.S. Military Is Pursuing Energy Efficiency, Renewables And Net-Zero Energy Initiatives
Net-zero design tends to be highly agile, resilient, efficient and positively disruptive providing the considerable discipline to make things that work very well with minimal impact on the environment and one of the most effective tools addressing accelerating climate change.
Now if the military would just start to utilize GREEN as an offensive tactic and not just help in the defense mode, humanity wold get some true value out on our military $$$.
Think about it for a moment. Military efforts to bring renewable energy to the third world people. Clean water. Sanitation. Perma-culture. Internet access and cell service. modern health care. The list is long.
Go green, resistance is fatal to Earth's life support systems. Green energy brings profits to the people, not the polluters and exploiters. The Talaban will be shunned by the local people, Not by the Drones. Violence begets violence. Love begets love.
The US military making '…things that work very well with minimal impact on the environment', like depleted uranium, DIME munitions, cluster-bombs, and hundreds and hundreds of thermo-nuclear weapons, I suppose. The degree that a reflex militarism is inculcated into even the 'progressive' American consciousness is remarkable. It must have something to do with not being 'Shocked and Awed' yourselves, not having your country invaded by brutal foreigners and not having your patriots who resist slaughtered as 'insurgents', and the collaborators praised by the invaders as 'democrats'.
This is good news! Such a positive and professional approach to making things better. This can show the private sector, that smart energy is better and it works.
Absolutely correct except the connection to net zero design.
Civilization remains both actively and passively (structurally) violent where world military expenditures far exceed social expenditures which would be very effective eliminating the need for large military expenditures greatly reducing emissions.
Yes, having a large military is a really bad, terribly inefficient, wasteful, destructive way to design for the future.
Good design for the future:
Profound use of natural where human capital is the most important component.
Large military expenditure is the most overt offense on the reasonable design of civilization.
Poverty eradication, universal healthcare, rapidly advancing universal educational systems, and net zero transportation reduce the active and structural violence of civilzation while having the potential of profoundly reducing its environmental footprint.
The big question might be:
Is nature forcing us to behave ourselves and cleanup our rooms?
As we become more tightly coupled with eco systems and we overcome our inner demons such as dominance we may start to move to net positive methods tightly coupled with the fundamental nature of life.
And one of the major advances of life on this planet.
Since intelligence is essentially evolution on steroids this can happen very quickly as the efficiencies and benefits would be extraordinary.
Perhaps, some our most encouraging work in biology, medicine and cognitive science are already using these ideas.
Let's not forget the "why" in the title.
This move is primarily for military strategy and logistics.
It happens to reduce one form of GHG, a solid objective from several points of view, as the military are alert to global destabilization from climate change, as well as the more immediate vulnerability of their supply lines and personnel.
Even so, the military is a big user and emitter of other pollutants.
Consider military air conditioning.
In 2011 the military spent over $20 billion on AC in Afghanistan alone.
HFCs in air conditioners are persistent and powerful greenhouse gases.
The CO2 reduction is good, but it does not exonerate the military-industrial complex in general from a far longer list of damages – a list longer than Mulga's.
The "how" of transition to a peace time economy has been a challenge for decades.
Decision makers in the Cold War made sure nearly every US congressional district had an employment dependence on some aspect of MIC.
The military itself has protested from time to time that it doesn't need some equipment that Congress continued/continues to appropriate money for.
True, choose your battles.
None of the plowshare advances justify a military-industrial complex, but when the military validates these advances by using them it accelerates deployment.
Something is not impossible if it already exists.
Developing and deploying net-zero transport and transit systems capable of moving millions per hour in places like New York City, smart grids with storage, and advanced communications systems not only have great civilian value but would help stabilize failing and failed states and mitigate threats to our security at a small fraction of the cost of the conventional methods and apparatus of war.
As the preposterous house of cards built on climate change denial . . .
In Afghanistan, the transport of fuel by trucks is more than just an expensive distraction. The WAPO reported that the Taliban gets a lot of its funding from protection rackets on fuel convoys.
A good thing that seriousness is basically acknowledged by this program. And military may be best to take a serious first step. Drag the rest of government kicking and screaming forward. Let's see if efficiency hurdle can be breached.
When stuff starts hitting the fan, command-and-control will go into effect with the military would likely playing a pivotal part since we'd be terribly vulnerable on all fronts.
This might happen in a region or nationwide.
The smart thing to do would be to build a huge reserve fpr rapid deployment sufficient cover the damage of another Sandy.
The reserves would include solar, smart grids, materials and designs for rapid restoration of homes to include hazard mitigation and energy retrofits sufficient to bring buildings at least to 90% net zero.
Net-zero transportation and transit could include bikes, electric bikes, recumbent bikes/trikes, rapid deploy elevated velo ways.
Design and development of high performance rapid deploy complete distributed on-demand feather-weight vehicle transport and transit systems with human, electric and electric linear induction power with or without low cost permanent magnet maglev capability.
Rapid deploy communication systems and whatever else is necessary to restore a large region as fast as possible with minimum downtime with sufficient hazard mitigation in the rebuild makeing the area much more resilient, energy efficient and sustainable.
NYC Rapid Repairs restored of 20,000 homes which was great.
Continuous improvement for next time would create much more long-term solutions costing much less in dollars, environment, and emissions.
'Mature' does not give a stuff whether we live or die. That's up to us, entirely.
What is the point of 'intelligence' if it only leads us to self-destruction? What is 'intelligence' without understanding and morality but hubris and self-delusion?
That list is longer then mine!!? Drat!
No kidding!
Substitute reality or any other word that makes you feel better (or worse), since I know at least one person who's happiest when he's miserable.
Do you ever get the feeling at times that you might spontaneously combust?
Too late! I vapourise every time I watch the daily lie-fest falsely labeled the 'News'. By the by, we need a little pessimism to leaven the debate, don't you think, given the situation? Besides, I am not 100% convinced that we will not, somehow, save ourselves yet, but I'm convinced that my basic understanding, that we certainly will not do so unless we recognise the truth that capitalism and the parasites who benefit from it are the root causes of the catastrophe (it is, already, a catastrophe), is important.
Ah ha! There's your problem.
Stop immediately, immersing yourself in lie-fests.
Take two aspirins and seek out one of many noble causes with the potential to propel us forward in the great transition to come.
For starters perhaps, try Poor People First.
Try bottom of the pyramid . . .
Capitalism at the Crossroads: The Unlimited Business Opportunities in Solving the World's Most Difficult Problems by Stuart Hart
Why do we keep having to pretend that the US military has any relevance to the world energy future? Its efficiency and renewables efforts, just like its nuclear power technologies on submarines and aircraft carriers, are motivated solely by tactical concerns and totally unconstrained by market costs (the US military sucks up approximately half the planet's military spending). Those efforts have therefore always been, are now, and will forever be basically irrelevant to transforming the world energy economy. At best, there will be the occasional "spinoff," i.e., some accidental benefit to civilian life produced at a cost orders of magnitude higher than would have been required for development under directed, non-military research. So frankly, I don't give two shakes of a dead rat's ass — maybe just half a shake, there you go –for the military's gold-plated, self-trumpeted energy leadership. And besides, what will they do with all that green? Aggress, imprison, oppress? Guantanamo has wind turbines, for God's sake! ( http://www.defense.gov/News/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=31070 ) So, you know those lights they leave on 24-7 to ruin the minds of people they've been holding for a decade without charge or trail on the say-so of some bounty-collecting tribesman in rural Pakistan? They're _sustainable_! Bucket, please. If anything, I would like my country's military to have shorter reach, less sustained occupation capability, less technical ability to operate freely in the hinterlands of countries we've invaded on the other side of the world . . .
War is much worse.
And, it is totally inconceivable that we will go to war with a lot of countries, maybe most, and maybe all in the not too distant future.
What efficiency; and what a civilization!
And a huge military unnecessary, or a prison industrial complex, or transportation systems based on cars . .
All this stuff we do now just to please a few unnecessary inner demons.
Very strange indeed.
I have reconsidered my position and now realise that what I do when confronted by the lie-machine is sublimate, transmuting from a solid mass into an ethereal substance of no fixed property. The wretched truth is that I am addicted to experiencing lies, in all their glorious variety and invention, because, without my daily fix, I might actually return to my childish belief that all people are good, even if it is only 'somewhere, deep down'.
