Background: Quantitative information about risks and benefits may be meaningful only to patients who have some facility with basic probability and numerical concepts, a construct called numeracy.
Objective: To assess the relation between numeracy and the ability to make use of typical risk reduction expressions about the benefit of screening mammography.
Design: Randomized, cross-sectional survey
Setting: A simple random sample of 500 female veterans drawn from a New England registry.
Intervention: One of four questionnaires, which differed only in how the same information on average risk reduction with mammography was presented.
Measurements: Numeracy was scored as the total number of correct responses to three simple tasks. Participants estimated their risk for death from breast cancer with and without mammography. Accuracy was judged as each woman's ability to adjust her perceived risk in accordance with the risk reduction data presented.
Results: 61% of eligible women completed the questionnaire. The median age of these women was 68 years (range, 27 to 88 years), and 96% were high school graduates. Both accuracy in applying risk reduction information and numeracy were poor (one third of respondents thought that 1000 flips of a fair coin would result in <300 heads). Accuracy was strongly related to numeracy: The accuracy rate was 5.8% (95% CI, 0.8% to 10.7%) for a numeracy score of 0, 8.9% (CI, 2.5% to 15.3%) for a score of 1, 23.7% (CI, 13.9% to 33.5%) for a score of 2, and 40% (CI, 25.1% to 54.9%) for a score of 3.
Conclusions: Regardless of how information was presented, numeracy was strongly related to accurately gauging the benefit of mammography. More effective formats are needed to communicate quantitative information about risks and benefits.
The relation between this measure of accuracy and numeracy was subsequently assessed.
Respondents provided numerical answers (___ out of 1000); these were summarized into ranges for presentation. The black bars represent the actual risk reduction given in the information presented.
Bars represent 95% Cls; numbers in parentheses are the number of study participants with the given score.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore had a scare Thursday when their airplane was forced to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas after the engine apparently overheated.
The two were flying to New York following the Las Vegas premiere of Kutcher's latest movie, Spread, at the Palms Casino Resort. Neither actor was injured.
Moments after the sudden landing, Kutcher reported the incident on Twitter, writing, "My plane just had to do an emergency landing. Engine over heated. Fire engines everywhere good times." He later posted an update saying he was "happy to be alive" and adding that he wanted to celebrate at the Turtle Bay Bar.
Moore also posted about the incident on her Twitter account. "Yep it is always an adventure in Vegas emergency landing and all," she wrote.

TALLADEGA, ala. — Kurt Busch's run with Phoenix Racing ended with a parched gas tank, a spin into the wall and NASCAR orders that went either unheard or unheeded.
NASCAR parked Busch at Talladega Superspeedway after he ran out of gas while leading on the 98th lap. As the safety crew tried to talk to the driver while he sat inside the No. 51 Chevrolet, Busch pulled away with an equipment bag on top of his car. The bag tumbled on the asphalt as NASCAR officials tried to get Busch to stop.
It has been that kind of year.
"I was hoping to get it back to the garage to work on it and get back in this race," said Busch, surrounded by cameras and microphones. "NASCAR's yelling at me to stop; I didn't have my helmet on. Now, I'm in worse trouble. This is the story of my life.
"Leading the race, runs out of gas, tries to get back in the race with that competitive desire, gets yelled at by NASCAR and now I have a storm of media around me. I don't even know what to say or do next. I thanked the guys for a good year. That's just the way it turned out. I'm sorry that it did."
Busch is moving to Denver-based Furniture Row Racing, the team that signed him for 2013, next week to finish out the year in the No. 78 Chevrolet that Regan Smith drove to a season-best fifth-place finish Sunday in his final race with the team. It's another new start for Busch, joining his third team in three years.
He exchanged hugs with team members while they worked on his now-former car.
"It was more of an emotional hug of thanks for all the hard work this year," Busch said. "We ran out of gas while leading. A miscalculation or a fuel cell wasn't picking up all the fuel. It's the small-team blues.
"You work as hard as you can to keep up with the big teams, and sometimes little itty-bitty numbers will take you out."
A former NASCAR champion, Busch has one top-five finish in 30 races so far this season. He's replacing Smith for the final six races, and Phoenix Racing owner James Finch said he'll use Smith next week at Charlotte.
Busch finished 39th. He is 26th in the Sprint Cup standings.

Other than "something's wrong" it's hard to say. You seem to have
elminated a lot of question marks by verifying the same dns server and
gateway, and that security is disabled.
Now the question is whether something's wonky with the access point's
handling or wireless clients, or the networking stack of computer B,
or perhaps the wireless card of computer B. I've seen machines that'd
ping like this but not do much else. In once case the wireless module
in the computer itself was to blame.
To narrow things down further, the next thing I'd do is plug computer
B in with a wired connection (moving the computer if needed) and see
what happens. If it works, that narrows things down a wee bit more.
If it doesn't work you know you have an OS level issue of some sort on
computer B.

Despite a handful of plays preventing the New England Patriots from securing a fourth Lombardi Trophy in Indianapolis earlier this month, the roster is entering a period of flux.
Last season, Bill Belichick made a host of personnel moves that leave the team looking for long-term solutions at various key positions.
The Patriots' draft approach will, as ever, be shaped by their activity in free agency, which begins March 13, but as things stand now, very few positions are off limits when analyzing the team's needs.
After conceding the second-most passing yards in regular season history in 2011, most observers would agree that the secondary should be a major focus this offseason. Beyond that, a consensus on other upgrades is hard to come by.
Should the team focus on drafting an impact pass-rusher?
Is a receiver that can stretch the field a top priority?
What about the defensive line?
What's more certain, is that Belichick will move around the draft board, manipulating picks and dealing up or down where value presents itself. With no selections beyond the fourth round, expect to see plenty of activity on draft weekend.
It's hard enough to select the correct player in the slots provided, so for this mock draft, I'll leave trade scenarios out of the picture, and give you a run-down of the players that should pop up on New England's radar over the coming weeks.

Nope, this is a pic of a mig-23:
IIRC, It was the answer to the Northrop-Grumman F-111 Aardvark. Looks similar and has similar properties, except for the single seat for the Mig vs. the double side-by-side of the F-111.

It's obviously an F-15, but maybe somebody's thinking about a Sukhoi-27?
July 19, 2003, 09:19 PM
Indeed. They can be mistaken for the other. I sometimes do a double take on a Mig-29 thinking its an F-14.
Those things are scary manuverable. Go vertical, stop in a vertical position, fly foward while still pointed vertical, and then decide which direction you wish to start flying normal again. Before anyone asks, they have vanes on their jet engines at the back that make it possible. They are like weather vanes, only they direct thrust in all positions (360 degree capable).

Wasn't that a SU-37 that did that, with it's inverted wings and all?

If it did, then it has teh same engines and thrust vectoring. I havent really seen much on the -37, just the -27. Google might have some more answers.

IIRC, It was the answer to the Northrop-Grumman F-111 Aardvark. Looks similar and has similar properties, except for the single seat for the Mig vs. the double side-by-side of the F-111.
Actually the Soviet answer to the F/FB-111 was the SU-24 Fencer which if i am not mistaken is larger, slower, less manuverable, and like the F-111 now out of service. (only the Royal Austrailian Air Force still uses the Ardvark, it fills a range/payload/survivability niche that no, more modern design has been able to)
the MIG-23 family is unrelated. and was NOT in response to a particular American design. the swing wing MIGS were the result of the soviet development of the same basic WW2 era German research the lead us to F-111 and F-14, and were more in keeping with the soviet "quantity over quality' outlook in regards to front line aviation. small, crude, easy to build, i think faster, but shorter ranged, aircraft. the variable geometry MIGS came in two major variants the Mig-23 fighter[pictured], and Mig-27 ground attack plane. the 23 adn 27 shared a basic airframe but each version had a "mission/type specific" nose section with electronics (or lack thereof) that the other version wouldn't need (the 27's nose was a flatter "duckbill" looking design that increased visability forward and down, and dispensed with the heavy, bulky, and in that role useless radar) and different wing/hardpoint designs.
as for a caption......

No more "Sparkvarks". Well, at least in U.S. service, the Aussies may still use them.
I was stationed at McClellan AFB, which was the depot for USAF and RAAF F-111 rebuilds, when the last one departed for Australia. It was a sad day.
Now, Air Force electronic warfare crews share flight time with their Navy counterparts in Navy EA-6B Prowlers.
BTW, that's not a Strike Eagle in the driveway. Strike Eagles are F-15E models, with tandem cockpits and conformal fuel tanks, among other improvements. The one pictured above is probably an earlier F-15C variant, known in the vernacular as just plain "Eagle". Still more than enough machine to ruin a person's day...

What it looks closes to, mig-wise, is the Mig-25 Foxbat.
Tell me this doesn't look like someone said "Hey! That F-15 looks cool! Let's make one!
July 20, 2003, 03:14 PM
Actually, the MiG-25 was created in response to the SR-71 and U-2, to shoot them down. The MiG-25 can do Mach 3, and has missles capable of shooting down the SR. However, the engines have to be replaced after the Mach 3 episode, and no SR's were shot down (that we know of) because they couldnt detect the SR until it was on top of them.
The F-15 in the interceptor style ('A-C' models) was created to kill -25 Foxbats.
PErsonally, I want an A-10 in my driveway. Nothing says "Go away" like an Avenger cannon and Maverick missles.

Those darned XB-70 Valkyries we were working on worried the Soviets, and they needed a high-altitude, high-Mach interceptor. Hence, the MiG-25 Foxbat. So while the ill-fated XB-70 never went into production, the Foxbat did.
It would have been interesting to see how well the MiG-25 would have done against the Valkyrie.

Gewehr98; The F111 is still in use with the RAAF, they were supposedly grounded last year due to possible stress fractures in the airframe, but one went by below me when I was I was working on a lighthouse roof at Sydney's South Head in February, so they were still flying then. interesting to watch a big jet hugging a cliff face when they are only 50 feet above the water....
My earliest memory of an aircraft is from around 25 years ago. I was out on a lagoon in my row boat when 3 F111s in arrowhead formation came over the dunes, swept their wings back, banked 90 degrees above me and disappeared down the coast. They may be called pigs but I've always considered them to be a graceful bird.

In theory, based on the unclassified top speed of the SR-71 (read: a lie), the MiG-25 could catch one. But as a practical matter, it was a non-starter. And the MiG-25 was overall a terrible performer... no range and self-destructing engines.
How fast was the SR-71? "Officially" the unlcassified answer is something like Mach 3.31. In reality? Who knows? The real answer is a secret, and if I ever knew I forgot. :D

Walking into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for Wednesday's practice, it's clear special teams work is a continual theme for Tulane football this season.
The Green Wave was working special teams again, drilling kicker Cairo Santos and his operations unit and addressing all parts of special teams.
Special teams coordinator Barry Lamb is continually pushing the multi-phase unit to correct its mistakes and become a strength of the program – not a weakness. That emphasis is never more important than this week as the Green Wave plays North Texas on Saturday in a homecoming game.
The Mean Green has one of the best special teams players in the country in kick returner Brelan Chancellor. Chancellor is the nation's leader in kickoff return yards a game (80.5) and kickoff returns per game (3.3). His total kickoff return yards of 2,657 is second in the nation.
Chancellor had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown versus Georgia. North Texas' Marcus Trice also led the Mean Green to a special teams touchdown in the game. He blocked a punt that Zac Whitfield recovered for a touchdown.
The Green Wave is preparing for a fight on special teams.
"We changed a lot of stuff on special teams this week just for their front, just for North Texas," freshman special teams standout Jarrod Franklin said. "They are really good on special teams and we're looking to change that up and dominate on special teams."
Tulane recovered two fumbles on special teams last week at University of Louisiana at Monroe – Franklin caused one of the fumbles with a big hit. Big hits were the emphasis going into the ULM game and the mission was accomplished, particularly on that play.
"Going down on punt, I'm always thinking about taking the ball out and getting turnovers and when (Matt) Marfisi came around the side and made the tackle, he was still up so I looked right at the ball and went in and got it out," Franklin said. "We had a lot more intensity going into the ULM game. Going into ULM we had more intensity and we were ready to just hit them."
The night was a dramatic turnaround from the three blocked kicks Tulane took against Syracuse the week prior. Lamb said the corrections were important and showed vs. the Warhawks, but a ULM 88-yard punt returned for a touchdown spoiled the perfect special teams night. Two guys (which Lamb did not want to single out) did not cover their assigned lanes.
"Two people both of them had an issue and were not where they were supposed to be," he said. "Again, we've corrected that and we don't expect that to happen again."
The upgrade from one week to the next was done with practice style and personnel changes. Lamb added Dominique Robertson, Zach Davis, and Andre Robinson for the ULM game and the trio delivered big hits.
"Bigger bodies, stronger bodies, firmer bodies and maybe a little less better cover guys but we had to stem the tide," Lamb said.
That along with extra drills helped. The drills continue this week as the emphasis is on protection and operation time on kicks and punts.
But Tulane is also bracing its units with this week to answer the challenge.
"Speed on the outside," Franklin said. "They are coming up the middle and we just have to beat them to the ball."
Injury report
Receiver Marc Edwards was rehabbing a leg injury on Wednesday and was limited in practice. "Marc Edwards was the only new guy I saw walking around the field (not participating in practice) – I think most of the guys are healthy," coach Curtis Johnson said. "(Receiver Devon) Breaux looked like he is back."
Johnson's wife Angel is also on the mend after having out-patient surgery for a breathing issue. The surgery went well enough Wednesday morning for Johnson to attend practice. "She's good. She is out of surgery and she's doing well," Johnson said.
Offensive linemen shine
Offensive tackle Sean Donnelly was proud of the job his unit did in paving 253 rushing yards for the backfield and in keeping Nick Montana from getting sacked more than once. "It was great, you were able to see us really crush the ball, really run it, we had some big physical blocks," Donnelly said. "It was really, really encouraging to the offensive line to see a game like that."

COLUMBIA – There must be something about Atlantic Coast Conference football teams and spread offenses that bring out the best in South Carolina's defense.
Mike Davis rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown and quarterback Connor Shaw threw for 149 yards and a touchdown to lead No. 6 South Carolina past North Carolina, 27-10, Thursday night in the season opener before a crowd of 81,572 at Williams-Brice Stadium.
The game was halted with 8:20 left in the fourth quarter because of lightning and heavy rain. The game was suspended for 104 minutes before resuming at 10:30 p.m. The last time a game was delayed because of weather at Williams-Brice Stadium was in 2002 against Georgia.
The Gamecocks, who have managed to shut down Clemson's high-scoring spread offense for the last two years, did the same thing Thursday night against North Carolina. The Tar Heels averaged more than 40 points and nearly 500 yards a game in 2012. The Gamecocks limited UNC to 293 yards and a single touchdown.
"I got to take my hat off to my defense," said South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney. "We held them to half of what they did last year."
It was far from a perfect performance for the Gamecocks on the offensive side of the ball. Two plays – a 75-yard run from Mike Davis and a 65-yard pass play – accounted for almost half of the Gamecocks' offense.
"It was a good win," said South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. "It wasn't always very pretty, but it was a win. North Carolina played hard. They just gave up too many big plays for us."
For all the preseason hype surrounding Clowney, the All-American defensive end was almost a non-factor most of the game. Clowney finished with three tackles and three quarterback pressures and appeared to be fatigued throughout the game.
"It wasn't just Clowney that got winded," said South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. "I think the entire defense got winded. We knew they'd run the hurry-up and we tried to simulate it in practice, but that was the fastest team I've ever seen."
Shaw completed 11 of 20 passes, but the senior had just one completion in the second half.
"Connor did OK," Spurrier said. "He was just OK. Besides that one throw to Shaq (Roland) we didn't do much throwing the ball. We were just not very good."
Backup quarterback Dylan Thompson was in for one snap and made the most of it, throwing a 29-yard TD strike to Kane Whitehurst.
The Gamecocks got off a fast start, scoring on four of their first five possessions.
It took the Gamecocks just three plays to score as Shaw connected with sophomore wide receiver Shaq Roland on a 65-yard TD pass. Roland faked UNC cornerback Tim Scott to the outside and then cut toward the post. Shaw hit Roland in stride.
The Gamecocks pushed their advantage to 10-0 when place kicker Elliott Fry capped a 13-play, 58-yard drive with a 39-yard field goal with 4:53 to play in first quarter.
After a four-yard TD pass by UNC's Bryn Renner to Quinshad Davis, the Gamecocks pushed their advantage to 20-7 with a 26-yard field by Elliott.
The Tar Heels opened the second half with a 16-play, 70-yard drive that resulted in a short field goal from Thomas Moore.
The Gamecocks answered immediately, as Davis burst over the right side of the formation and sprinted 75 yards untouched into the end zone.
"That was a big run from Mike,"Spurrier said. "I thought Mike and Brandon Wilds both ran the ball well."

Last night the ladies of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills began the slow shifts of alliances as Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville forged a tenuous friendship of nefarious intent. It's so pernicious. Just pernicious.
Yolanda Foster is planning a dinner party to honor HER KING. It's David-galore and all about David. I wonder what flowers David likes? Probably the ones that bloom in his presence – he is quite miraculous that way!
On the other side of town in a poor, sad subdivision where normal people who don't have houses built on a foundation of Grammy awards and or a fridge made of diamonds spun from the hair of virgin, albino Persian cats, Brandi is searching for her poor lost dog Chica. Awww… poor Chica. While Brandi annoys the bejesus out of me – and adding to that annoyance is the presence of Kyle in a pirate-themed Kaftan from Kylene By Too Many Kraptans – I totally understand the loss of a pet.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The challenge finally arrived for Rory McIlroy, and he was better than ever Sunday to win the PGA Championship.
On a back nine filled with clutch shots and as much tension as a major can provide, McIlroy emerged from a four-man race to outlast Phil Mickelson and the darkness at Valhalla to capture his second straight major.
McIlroy closed with a 3-under 68 and became only the fourth player in the last century of golf to win four majors at 25 or younger. The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones, three of the game's greatest players.
Boy Wonder appears on his way to belonging in that group.
"I didn't think in my wildest dreams I'd have a summer like this," said McIlroy, only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year. "I played the best golf of my life. I really gutted it out today."
Amarillo native Ryan Palmer closed with a 68 and finished in a tie for fifth with Jim Furyk. Palmer will cash a check for $367,500.
But one of the greatest shows on soggy turf came with a most peculiar ending.
Three shots behind going to the back nine, McIlroy rallied to take the lead and then hit a 9-iron from the fairway bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th hole for a two-shot lead going to the par-5 18th. Because of a two-hour rain delay earlier, darkness was falling quickly and it wasn't certain McIlroy would be able to finish.
McIlroy was allowed to hit his tee shot before Mickelson and Rickie Fowler had reached their drives. Both were only two shots behind, still in the game. McIlroy came within a yard of hitting in a hazard right of the fairway.
Then, the PGA of America allowed McIlroy to hit his second shot. Mickelson and Fowler had to stand to the side of the green.
"We were cool with hitting the tee shot," Fowler said. "We weren't expecting the approach shots."
Fowler had a 50-foot eagle attempt to tie for the lead. He was well off the mark, and missed the short birdie putt attempt that cost him his third straight runner-up finish in a major.
Mickelson was short of the green, and his chip came within inches of dropping for an eagle that would have tied him for the lead.
Mickelson appeared upset that they had to wait to finish the hole — not standard procedure in a PGA Tour event — and he made two references in a TV interview that this is the only championship the PGA of America runs all year.
"It didn't affect the outcome of the championship at all, I don't think," Mickelson said. "It's not what we normally do. It's not a big deal either way."
Mickelson closed with a 66 and was runner-up for the ninth time in a major.
Fowler became the first player in history to finish in the top five at all four majors without winning one. He closed with a 68 and tied for third with Henrik Stenson, who fell out of a share of the lead by missing a 3-foot par putt on the 14th hole. Stenson shot a 66.
McIlroy hit his second shot into a bunker, and he had to two-putt from 35 feet for the win. He lagged the first one to tap-in range, and the major was his. McIlroy repeatedly pumped his fist before letting out a scream above the gallery that had been treated to one of the best shows ever in a major.
He won his first two majors by eight shots at the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. Only a month ago, McIlroy took a six-shot lead into the final round of the British Open and completed a wire-to-wire win with only a brief scare.
This was his first big test, and it took some of his best golf to come through.
"I think I showed a lot of guts out there to get the job done," he said.
The winning shot turned out to be that 9-iron from the bunker and the birdie putt on the 17th hole that gave him a two-shot lead, the largest margin for anyone on a day when as many as five players claimed a share of the lead.
It might not have been possible without a 3-wood on the par-5 10th hole.
Standing in the fairway, McIlroy watched Fowler drain a 30-foot birdie putt to take the outright lead. McIlroy was 281 yards away, slightly uphill, and his short caught the left side of the fairway and rolled onto the green before stopping 7 feet away for an eagle that got him back in the game.
Mickelson holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 11th hole to tie Fowler, and it looked to be his day when he rolled in a 30-foot par putt on the 12th. Stenson hit a bold shot to the island-green 13th for a short birdie to tie for the lead, only to fall back.
McIlroy caught the leaders with a birdie on the 13th.
None of the other contenders made another birdie the rest of the way until it was too late.

The Hudson's Ups and Downs
Lesson Plan
Students will interpret line graphs of Hudson River water levels to learn about tides and tidal cycles in the estuary.
Students will read line graphs to:
- examine how tides change water levels along Hudson River estuary;
- observe that high tides and low tides occur in predictable cycles;
- understand that high and low tides occur at different times in different places along the Hudson estuary;
- explore how weather can affect water levels and tides.
Grade level:
Elementary (Grade 5-7)
Subject Area:
Math, Science
Mathematics, Science, & Technology Standards 3, 4
- Use line graphs to analyze patterns observed in the physical environment.
- Use line graphs to compare and contrast data and events.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Activity time: 40 minutes
Each student should have:
- Worksheet: The Hudson's Ups and Downs (PDF) 330 KB
- Pen or pencil
It would be helpful for the teacher to have:
- A jump rope or other length of rope
The Hudson's surface is roughly at sea level from New York Harbor to the dam at Troy, and is influenced by ocean tides over that distance. These tides are important to the movement of ships, the plans of kayakers and anglers, the distribution of aquatic plant communities, and many other aspects of economic, recreational, and ecological activity along the river.
This lesson explores the cycle of high and low tides but not their causes, which involve the gravitational attraction between the moon and earth and their relative positions-topics difficult for elementary students to comprehend. That said, a brief and greatly simplified explanation may be useful as background.
Imagine the earth as an idealized ball covered with water at the same depth all around. The moon's gravitational attraction shapes this idealized ball into an ovoid, an egg-shaped object. One of the oval's elongated ends is directly under the moon; the other is on the opposite side of the earth. These elongated ends can be thought of as bulges. While both earth's crust and the oceans bulge, the effect is much greater in the water. These bulges are high tides.
Now put this picture in motion. As the earth spins on its axis, the bulges remain in position under the moon, and are experienced as two daily high tides along the Atlantic coast. In between the bulges, ocean levels are lower, causing low tides. So in the 24 hours it takes the earth to rotate once on its axis, we will usually have two high tides and two low tides. Actually, because the moon revolves around the earth, a complete tidal cycle takes more than 24 hours. Imagine checking your watch when you are directly under the moon and then waiting for the earth to spin full circle. In that time the moon doesn't stand still. It moves ahead towards the east, so 24 hours plus 50 minutes go by before you are directly under the moon again. Thus the timing of a given tide falls back 50 minutes each day, on average. For example, if low tide on Monday morning is at 9:00, low tide Tuesday morning would be at 9:50.
While the above theoretically explains the forces that produce tides, the response of actual oceans, divided up into basins separated by continents, depends on the shape of the perimeter and sea floor of these basins. The bulges do not literally move across the oceans in two massive waves. An explanation of these tidal dynamics goes beyond the space available here.
- Discuss what tides are, perhaps by having students recount visits to the ocean.
- Relate what the line graphs show to the reality of water levels rising and falling.
- This activity is best done in class with the teacher available to provide assistance.
- Have students share answers to questions, or collect and grade sheets.
- On a classroom computer or Smartboard, visit a Hudson River remote sensing website and use current water level data (see below) to have students identify high and low tides.
Answer Key:
Available in the PDF version of this teacher's section and in the package that bundles all of the science lessons.
- dam: a barrier built across a stream
- estuary: a body of water in which fresh and salt water meet
- high tide: highest water level in the tidal cycle
- low tide: lowest water level in the tidal cycle
- sea level: the average height of the ocean
- tidal cycle: the repetitive rise and fall of the ocean's surface over a 24-hour period
- tides: the alternating rise and fall of the surface of the ocean and bodies of water closely linked to it
The U.S. Geological Survey's Hudson River Salt Front website provided data for the graphs in this lesson. The site has real-time data for Poughkeepsie and Albany plus links to water level gauges on the upper Hudson and on tributary streams. Such data are also available from HRECOS (the Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System), a network of real-time monitoring stations at sites on the estuary from Albany to New York City. Its sensors usually take measurements every 15 minutes, and offer a range of water and weather information. Visit these two sites using the Links Leaving DEC's Website section in the right-hand column of this page. You can generate custom graphs using these sites. Basic instructions for creating such graphs are available in the Teacher Section for "The Hudson's Ups and Downs" (PDF) 450 KB
For predictions of high and low tides, visit the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Tide Predictions page for New York (see Links Leaving DEC's Website). Scroll down to the Hudson River predictions, then click on the location desired to see the current day's predicted tides displayed in both a graph and a table. To see predictions for other days, select dates using the drop-down menus below the graph and then click on Submit. Keep in mind that these are only predictions; weather conditions may affect the actual tide times and heights.

An extremely sad and scary few days here in London (and the rest of England). Just a reminder, as if it was needed, of how beautiful this city really is. Photos I've taken over the last five years of living here:
23 thoughts on "I love London"
Lovely pics. It has been a strange few days. With all these pictures in the news of people smashing their neighbourhoods to bits, it's good to be reminded that London is actually a lovely place to live most of the time. I used to walk past that 'All that we see or seem…' wall in my first year here all the time. Nice memories!
This is a really lovely post and a gorgeous reminder of just how beautiful London is.
Thanks for this beautiful reminder not to let the last few days ruin my love of the city.
Florrie x
I adore this city.
Thank you Katie. Such an amazing and heartwarming load of piccies. These pictures are our true capital. x
Just wanted to thank you for these beautiful reminders of why I choose to live here & raise my children here & not escape to the suburbs.
lovely photographs, they just prove what an amazing city London really is!
Great post thanks for sharing these beautiful pics.
Thanks for those – beautiful and heartwarming
Beautiful pictures, and great to be reminded of what a wonderful city we live in. I love the first photo of the buses through the rain.
Some lovely canal photos in there! I don't moor in the city but we visited by boat last week. I love London and the canals are some of the best bits!
Lovely photos Katie. They remind me of how much I used to enjoy getting the train up to London for a day of adventuring!
Thanks for this! The photos are beautiful and represent London well.
[…] Katie, Ellie, Helen and Sarah have all done posts about their cities in the wake of the events of the […]
The past few days have been both heartbreaking and heartwarming. But despite all of that, and after 10 years, I'm still completely in love with London. These stunning pictures remind me why.
[…] Road shops, see this great video report from VICE. Katie posts photographs that remind her how much she loves London, Food Stories writes about why she loves Peckham and Ivano discusses first-hand the effect these […]
Your first picture is most fitting (ànd beautiful)! Funny as it is, what WE heard on the radio was that your good old English weather (read as: the same rainy drab as here in Belgium) seems to have saved the day in London…
I sure hope everything clears up, as you said: London really is a beautiful city, one of my favourites!
Great post – and good idea too. There is far more good in London than bad.
[…] WhatKatieDoes posted some awesome photos of London this week and it inspired me to dedicate my list of loves to our great capital today. This list could have been endless, but here are just some of the things I love about London. […]
such gorgeous pictures, you really get an insight to the true side of london that you dont see either in tourist-y promotion sites, or in articles that are a tad on the negative side. I've always wanted to move to London, and this is making me want to even more!
[…] But work and friends and new beginnings beckon, and these beautiful photos of our capital from What Katie Does are making me quite excited […]

Maps of the Islands in the Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is famous for the sinking of the Titanic. The Atlantic Ocean region encompasses Greenland and Iceland all the way south to South Georgia and The Falkland Islands. Covering literally from the North Pole to the South Pole and everything in between, this region has tremendous variety. Some of the more remote and interesting islands here includes such places as: Ascension, Azores, Canary Islands and the Madeira Islands.
If you require an Atlantic ocean map, Map Town has the region covered. Buy a road map of Greenland (which is over 90% covered by glaciers), or a street map of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, or a Falkland Islands map. We carry a selection of travel maps and guidebooks for the various countries and islands of the Atlantic.

I have Firefox 184.108.40.206 and whenever I start it, the programme crashes. I
tried reinstalling it, and this works at first but after using it again a
few time, the same problem comes back and it starts to crash again; I'm
running Windows XP.
I have Firefox on all my other machines which are running XP off Microsoft
Exchange Server 2003 and they work fine; I've never had this problem with
Firefox before; usually this type of thing happens with IE.

GREENFORD — Township Trustee George Toy said there is a "hump in the road that throws trucks left of center....
I think the pavers may have taken celebrating "Hump day" a little too far.
It's good that township officials or on top of this and not waiting till it's too late for someone. Good job Guys

We here at Cycle Chic have secretly coveted these handmade skirtguards for a while now but it's time to let the world know. A Dutch company called Simeli crochets these skirtguards ("jasbeschermers" in Dutch and "frakkeskånere" in Danish) for your lovely upright bicycle. Above is the Ella model/pattern.
Here's the Nelleke model/pattern and, if you look to the left, you'll see a keychain hanging from the bike lock. Simeli does those, too!
Beautiful stuff. It's worth mentioning that crocheted skirtguards are as old as the bicycle itself. Women quickly figured out how to protect their flowing skirts from the wheel back in the late 1800's. Brilliant that Simeli is making them con amore again.
www.simeli.nl - The site is in Dutch but easy to figure out. You're looking at about €49 for a lovely jasbeschermer.

Hello Everyone. I just wanted to announce that I will be out due to my attendance at the TWI*TOUR convention in San Francisco. I am not saying this to gloat (ok, maybe a tiny bit), but to give everyone a heads up.
Why? I will have a Twilight contest upon my retun to give away some shwag I happen to pick up and maybe an autograph :) More information will be given soon. The reason for my contest is simple. Twilight is the book that re-introduced me to YA novels and if it were not for that book I would not be here now. So, everyone have a good weekend and wish me luck.

i would like to say hello. my name is qwux and i have been asked to be an occasional guest poster here on Rice Candy, and it's probably a good idea to introduce myself so you can all get a feel of where i am coming from.
so the brief history of qwux is as follows. i hate capitals, i just think they are ugly. i am currently studying visual arts at sydney college of the arts, majoring in printmedia. i am addicted to screenprinting, inks and paper. i run a little site called if forever exists (at www.ifforeverexists.com). i love stars and have 3 tattooed on my arm.
here is some of my recent work, if you like it, there is plenty more around!
first up, my major work from last semester - this poster sucks.
by day, i minimalistic typographical poster, by night, something much, much radder. i never knew photographing glow in the dark was so hard. (all glow images are 10 sec exp. for those who want to know.)
next up, the rad squid deck.
this is a short run (5 only) hand screenprinted deck with my character (sqwux the squid) printed on it.
i also dabble in photography, but i am not calling myself a photographer. i recently spent 2 weeks in japan, and here are all the photos i took put into 1 video.
the song is m83's lower your eyelids to die with the sun.
so thats me in a nutshell! i will be posting up a couple of times in the near future, so i hope you enjoi what i share.
ps - feel free to follow me on twitter @qwux

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Two spacewalking astronauts successfully installed a massive billion-dollar robot arm on the international space station on Sunday and unfolded the two-handed limb.
"Look at the size of this thing," space shuttle Endeavour crewman Chris Hadfield marveled as he tugged open the 58-foot, 3,600-pound arm. The arm remained bent at the elbow and was to be extended Monday by the space station crew working inside.
It was Canada's biggest day ever in space: the first Canadian spacewalker hooking up the new Canadian-built robot arm on space station Alpha.
At the conclusion of the seven-hour spacewalk, Mission Control congratulated Hadfield and his U.S. spacewalking partner, Scott Parazynski, in English and French and played a recording of "Oh Canada," the country's anthem. The recording was made at a Montreal hockey game.
"We're real proud of your work up there getting Canadarm2 operational," said Steven MacLean, a Canadian astronaut working in Mission Control. "And if you turn around and look down, I believe you're right over Newfoundland."
The new arm will serve as a high-tech construction crane throughout the lifetime of the space station. With a hand on both ends and seven joints along its length, the arm is designed to move across the space station like an inchworm and perform chores wherever needed.
Hadfield's performance was especially impressive: He had to fight burning eyes as he worked 240 miles up. His eyes began filling with tears midway through the spacewalk, and he had to shut them. After several minutes, his left eye improved.
"My right eye is kind of half-closed all the time, but I think it's going to clear," Hadfield assured his crewmates inside Endeavour. "I tell you, it's weird spacewalking and floating through space with your eyes closed."
NASA officials suspect helmet-antifog soap or sweat got in his eyes.
Pilot Jeffrey Ashby began the day's events, using Endeavour's 50-foot robot arm like a crane to lift the new station arm from the shuttle payload bay. The new arm had to be double-folded to fit in the payload bay and was still in its launch cradle when Ashby attached it to the space station.
An hour later, Hadfield and Parazynski ventured outside and quickly connected power, data and video cables to the new arm, bringing it to life. Then they removed eight 4-foot-long bolts that secured the arm to its launch cradle. "Unleash the arm," Parazynski said eagerly.
Parazynski positioned himself beneath the arm like a weightlifter to raise it 35 degrees. "Getting ready for the Olympics clean-and-jerk," he announced. He hoisted it, then called out to Hadfield: "Unfold away."
Perched on the end of the shuttle crane for traction, Hadfield unfolded the new station arm while being lifted by crane operator Ashby. Once the arm was opened, the spacewalkers drilled expandable fasteners into hinges to permanently bolt the pieces together. They had trouble tightening the fasteners and had to apply extra force.
The arm will be cranked up by the space station crew on Monday and commanded to step off to another location on the laboratory, where it will remain anchored for the next year.
On Tuesday, Hadfield and Parazynski will go back outside to wire up the arm in its new location. Throughout the rest of the week, the space station crew will practice using the arm, handing its still attached launch cradle to Endeavour's robot arm and mimicking what it will do during the next shuttle visit in June. The station arm will be needed then to hook up a pressure chamber for spacewalking astronauts.
The Canadians will send up a rail car for the arm next year, to extend its reach even more. Fingers will be launched in 2003 and make the arm even more dexterous.
NASA expects the arm, over time, to take over many of the jobs previously done by spacewalking astronauts and reduce the number of outings needed to build and maintain the outpost.
During their excursion, Hadfield and Parazynski also attached a radio antenna to the space station that will be used by future spacewalkers. They took time to savor the sights, including the Southern Lights, and to peek in at the three station residents through the laboratory window and pose for pictures.

What are you most proud of? Getting the edging right! I think I would change the edging on the next one
I'm just a beginning crocheter...how long (approx) did it take you to make this??
This took me several weeks, probably 2 to 3. I have been crocheting for about 40 years though. This is not a hard project for a beginner. You can take the original pattern and really make it any way you want. Good luck

President Obama's speech in Tucson is the topic of a special edition of the Talking Michigan Politics podcast:
The Washington Post's Chris Cilliza said the speech indicated an investment on the president's part:
Obama was invested: Unlike some of the Oval office speeches he has delivered where he seemed to be reading the text, Obama was clearly invested in this address -- intellectually and emotionally. And, it showed. Obama spoke in the poetry he used so well in his 2008 campaign, not the prose that has, too often for his supporters, defined his presidency. That was especially true when Obama spoke of the Christina Taylor Green, the youngest victim of the tragedy; "I want us to live up to her expectations," Obama said. "I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it."
A rundown of other reactions demonstrated similar sentiments.

Daniel Balaji, known for his outstanding performance in Kaaka Kaaka, Kaadhal Kondein, Pollathavan and Vaetaiyadu Vilaiyadu, is for the first time, turning director with his film titled Kroni.
However, he is currently busy shooting for Aishwarya Dhanush's Vai Raja Vai. He was roped in along with Taapsee, after the initial cast of the Gautham Karthik and Priya Anand pair was decided for the lead roles.
Daniel will be playing a different character in the movie. Besides Tamil, he is also a well known face in the Malayalam film industry.
Kroni will be produced by Magic Box Film Ganesh M R and is expected to be a unique film.
The film is conceptualised around the one liner — Everything in life has a belief, and that belief is all. Though it is said that Daniel will be playing a special character in this film, the selection process for the rest of the cast and crew is under process.
Kroni is Ganesh M R's next after Pannaiyarum Padminium, which is set to release on February 7. The shooting for Kroni is set to begin from March.
