Surfing The Radiant Sea
Collaborator: Michael D. Byers Author: Stanley V. Byers, © 1995
All forces that act through a distance are attributed to
cosmic radiation pressure and shadowing of these frequencies by matter. The
shadowing causes a local unbalanced flow in the normally
balanced radiation frequency flows of space. All matter exists as
interference patterns in the Prime background radiation frequencies of space. A surface gravity limit
of 1.141 gs and a
radiation pressure limit is shown to exist when the radiation flow
is totally shielded by large planets. The cause for
the inverse square laws of physics is shown to be a natural result
of shadowing geometry with distance. Data and graphs are
presented demonstrating the gravitational shadowing for our solar system planets.
A model of inertia is given where inertia is a result of unbalanced radiation absorption during acceleration. The unbalance is ascribed to a combination of the Doppler effect and the quantum nature of photons.
With a systems model for the cause of remote forces, various experiments to achieve artificial interaction become self-evident. A multitude of combinations of the electrostatic, magnetic and inertial forces may be tried, with the objective of shielding or focusing the radiation to modify the local effects of gravity and inertia upon an object. ***

Quote: Abstract: It is shown in the first part that when a
30 deg laminar beam of 1.5 W red laser light passes between a freely moving mass
on a torsion pendulum and a fixed mass, there is an increase of the attraction
between the two masses.
In the second part, when a laminar light beam passes close to a freely moving single mass on a torsion pendulum, the mass will move toward the light beam. ***
Professor Louis Rancourt has provided a new web site that reports the
progress of his continuing experiments on this discovery.

The following quotes from Michael Faraday's and James Clerk Maxwell's works are presented to compare their views on the medium ("fields of force", "lines of force", or "ether") for the transmission of light (EM) radiation with the concept of the prime radiation medium from this paper.
Michael Faraday (1791-1867). Quote The view I am so bold as to put forth considers, therefore, radiation (EM, light) as a high species of vibration in the lines of force (ether)... Unquote
It is important to note that Michael Faraday did not characterize his lines of force as electromagnetic radiation. However he does view his lines of force and force fields as the medium whose modulated vibrations are electromagnetic radiation.
This paper characterizes the first cause for all remote forces (lines of force) as being due to non EM prime radiation and shadowing. This prime radiation, with shadowing, is the system producing all remote forces, lines of force, and force fields,...and the prime radiation is the medium (aether) for the transmission of all light, heat and the entire EM radiation spectrum.
James Clerk Maxwell's book "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism". provides Maxwell's view on the existence of a medium for the propagation of light and remote forces.
Quote: Hence all these theories lead to the conception of a
medium in which the propagation takes place, and if we admit this medium is a
hypothesis, I think it ought to occupy a prominent place in our investigations,
and that we ought to endeavor to construct a mental representation of all the
details of its actions, and this has been my constant aim in this treatise.
Unquote i.e. Medium >> Prime radiation or aether.
If the Electromagnetic spectrum is erroneously viewed as the medium (aether) for the transmission of light, EM radiation, and remote forces, then the trap of circular reasoning has produced a boot strap lift system where EM radiation is the medium for the transmission of EM radiation. If one views EM radiation as the medium for force transmission, then one is required to view a stationary electron as continuously emitting EM radiation energy to account for it's surrounding E force field. It may seem counter intuitive but, the eternal static force fields of electrostatics, gravity, and magnetism do not require the expenditure of energy. They are potential force and potential energy but they are not radiant energy. In this model,...Electromagnetic radiation is the only form of radiation that causes the manifestation of energy on or within remote objects in space.
This next quote of Michael Faraday's is found in James Clerk Maxwell's book "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism". Michael Faraday provides the suggestion that the medium for the conveyance of light may very well be the medium providing for the conveyance of remote forces.
< Prev Pg < Contents Top /\ Bottom \/ i i i
Quote For my own part, considering the relation of a vacuum to the magnetic force and the general character of magnetic phenomena external to the magnet, I am more inclined to the notion that in the transmission of the force there is such an action, external to the magnet, (rather) than that the effects are merely attraction and repulsion at a distance. Such an action may be a function of the (medium) aether; for it is not at all unlikely that, if there be an aether, it should have other uses than simply the conveyance of (light and heat) radiations. Unquote.
Faraday's Experimental Researches, 3075
The medium (aether) of this radiation and shadowing model is the Prime non
electromagnetic non particulate radiation that pervades all space and
The parentheses ( ), and the bold type, in the above quotes, have been added by this author to aid in clarification and the comparison of the quote with the concept of this paper.
A close study of Faraday's above quotes has not revealed any conflicts between his quoted concepts and the radiation pressure system of remote force of this paper. History may readily credit Faraday with originating the basic theme of this paper one century before this paper was first published circa 1975.
The next quote is from Albert A Michelson's lecture circa 1899.
Quote: Suppose that an aether strain corresponds to an electric charge, an aether displacement to the electric current, aether vortices to the atoms; if we continue these suppositions, we arrive at what may be one of the grandest generalizations of modern science, namely that all the phenomena of the physical universe are only different manifestations of the various modes of motion of one all-pervading (substance), the aether. The day seems not to distant when the converging lines from many apparently remote regions of thought will meet on some common ground. Then the nature of the atom and the forces called into play in their chemical union, the interactions between these atoms and the non-differentiated aether as manifested in the phenomena of light and electricity , the structure of the molecule, the explanation of cohesion, elasticity and gravitation, all of these will be marshaled into a single compact and consistent body of scientific knowledge. Unquote
i v
The parentheses highlighting the word (substance) in this above quote has been added by this present author. The aether or medium of yesteryear was generally thought of or referred to as consisting of a material substance. The first medium (aether ?) of this current paper, "Radiant Pressure Model of Remote Force", consists of non-material, non-electromagnetic prime force radiation (frequency spectrum, Pf). The electrostatic force is one demonstration of unbalanced flow within the prime radiation and shadowing system. The electrostatic force radiation, Pe (read as P sub e) is a sub-spectrum within the total Prime force spectrum, Pf, and the following is a readily available example of the E field force.
When a sheet of paper is seen to move under the influence of a charged comb, we are witnessing one clear and present example of force and motion due to the all-pervading Prime force radiation, Pe, under unbalanced flow conditions. When one acknowledges that this Electrostatic force, and the Inertial and Gravitational force exist throughout the known universe, is it reasonable to doubt the presence of the Prime radiation medium? Acknowledging the existence of this prime radiation does not require "faith",... Nature continuously provides the example of a radiation force field via a comb and a bit of paper, a force field that follows the inverse square law exactly. This is the exact same inverse square law that light and EM radiation and shadowing also exhibit. A free body in free space would not detect the gravitational or electrostatic radiation forces, due to the fact that they are balanced from all directions. However, if a beam of light or radio waves are directed on the body, the oscillating E force field can be detected, which is a resonance of unbalance in the normally balanced background radiation force. ***

Comments about Mini Dragon with Chew Guard - Periwinkle:
My 9 pound Morkie may look small and innocent, but he is a toy destroyer. I was getting tired of him destroying toys in a day, so I when I saw the chew guard information on this tag, I picked it up. Over a year later (and a lot of hard core playing and tug of war!), the dragon is still perfect. He has gone in the washing machine a dozen times, been inside and out, and there isnt even the smallest tear in him. Well worth the money!

ONU's Central Ohio Alumni Club to coordinate volunteer day
The Ohio Northern University Central Ohio Alumni Club will coordinate a day of service on Saturday, Feb. 9, at three locations in Columbus: Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Columbus ReStore, and the United Methodist Church Community Development for All People Free Store. All three events begin at 9 a.m.
The Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio works to provide affordable prescription medications for low-income, uninsured and underinsured individuals who are challenged by gaps in their insurance coverage or accessing medications. Volunteers at this event must have a current Ohio pharmacy or intern license or be a qualified technician; they will be asked to sort prescriptions.
Habitat's ReStore will ask volunteers to participate as sorters or counter staff. ReStore is a discount home improvement store that accepts and re-sells new and reusable home-improvement building materials. As part of Habitat's goal to eliminate substandard housing and promote home ownership, the store is open to the public. All revenue generated goes directly to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Columbus. Volunteers for this service need to wear comfortable clothing that they do not mind getting dirty.
At the United Methodist Church's Community Development for All People Free Store, volunteers will participate as sorters, counter staff and hospitality hosts and work in the community garden (weather permitting). The United Methodist Free Store provides clothing and household items to families in a way that affirms the self-worth of each individual. Shoppers can browse comfortably while sharing conversation, life stories and prayers.
Ohio Northern University's Central Ohio Alumni Club strives to facilitate opportunities for area ONU alumni to stay connected to the University and each other. Through the support of collective activities and endeavors, its vision is to foster interaction and camaraderie among area alumni as well as provide support for the University and club members.
Individuals can register online at onualumnicommunity.com by Feb. 1 or call the Office of Alumni Relations at 866-ONU-ALUM so that the charities can be notified of the number of volunteers and make a reservation for lunch.

Enrollment errors cut? No so fast, say insurersBy ROBERT PEAR
The New york times | December 15,2013WASHINGTON The Obama administration said Saturday it had reduced the error rate in enrollment data sent to insurance companies under the new health care law, even as insurers said that files they had received from the government in the past few days were riddled with mistakes.
The quality of the data is important; it could affect the ability of people to get medical care and prescription drugs when they go to doctors offices and pharmacies starting next month.
More than 137,000 people selected health plans in the federal insurance marketplace in October and November, and administration officials say that more than 100,000 signed up in the first week of this month.
For each person who signs up, the government is supposed to send information electronically to an insurance company in a standard format known as an 834 enrollment transaction. In some cases, consumers selected a health plan at the federal website, Healthcare.gov, but the government did not notify the insurance company.
In other cases, insurers received duplicate files for the same person, files for one person were sent to an insurer in another state, or the relationship code was wrong so that, for example, a mans daughter was listed as his wife.
The White House said Saturday that the government was now informing insurance companies of nearly all new enrollments.
Between Oct. 1 and Dec. 5, the number of consumers for whom 834s were not produced was fewer than 15,000, said Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman at the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Since the beginning of December, missing 834s as a percentage of total enrollments has been close to zero.
Bataille said most of the problems had occurred from Oct. 1 to mid-November, as enrollment reports on some consumers were either not being generated, or had errors due to larger technical system issues.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the government sent information to insurers listing everyone who had enrolled in a health plan through the federal marketplace. Insurers are supposed to compare the information with their own records and with the daily reports they have received from the government over the past 10 weeks.
Insurers said that they had found many discrepancies and errors and that the government was overstating the improvements in Healthcare.gov.
In some cases, they said, the federal government reported that the home address for a new policyholder was outside an insurers service area. In other cases, a child was listed as the main subscriber the person responsible for paying premiums and parents were listed as dependents.
In some cases, children were enrolled in a policy by the federal government and parents were left off, or vice versa. In other cases, the government botched up the members of a family: A child or spouse was listed two or three times in the same application in late November. Such errors can have financial implications, increasing the amount of premiums that a family is required to pay.
While some of the problems were discovered in the past few days, insurers said that they had previously reported many of the errors to the help desk at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and that the problems remained unresolved.
Federal officials, insurers and health care providers said they were concerned about confusion and possible chaos in the early days of January, when people try to use the new insurance coverage they believe they have.
The governments overriding message to insurers is: Do whatever you have to do to maximize enrollment and to provide coverage by Jan. 1 to anyone who wants it. Federal health officials have told insurers that they can sort out the details and work out financial arrangements with the government later.
People have until Dec. 23 to sign up for coverage that begins in January, and they have until Dec. 31 to pay premiums for the first month. But the administration has encouraged insurers to relax those deadlines and to take other steps to ensure a smooth transition for people joining their health plans.
Some of the new enrollees have never had insurance. Others turned to the federal exchange because their current insurance policies were being canceled or discontinued on the ground that they do not comply with coverage requirements of the new health care law.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

This week's message comes one day early in anticipation of anyone who may be taking time off for the holiday weekend.
Well it's July 1st and the news here is that we have started Fiscal Year 2005 without a budget. I realize how this affects your ability to plan your own spending for the next school year accordingly and am hopeful that there will soon be a final resolution.
In the meantime I do have good news for what will happen this month. This afternoon both chambers of the General Assembly approved a 30-day interim budget that provides sufficient operations to continue for critical state agencies.
The measure now awaits the Governor's signature.
In terms of elementary and secondary education, the measure provides sufficient appropriation authority to the Illinois State Board of Education to pay its July programs to school districts and Regional Offices of Education (ROEs) as well as fund agency operations. Please note that the Regional Safe Schools and the ROE services line was not included in the interim budget; however, ROE salaries will be paid. This will also ensure our ability to pay districts who receive funds under the Extended Learning Opportunities (Bridges) program (see page 9 of the following document: http://www.isbe.net/budget/house_approp.pdf).
Despite the interim budget it is obvious that the process is fluid when it comes to what will happen for elementary and secondary education funding for next year.
I also wanted to let you know the advanced 23rd and the 24th General State Aid payments and reimbursements for the Mandated Categorical Grants have been paid over the past ten days by the Comptroller's office. For those districts that receive funds through an intermediary authority, please check with them if you have not yet received those payments.
With these last GSA payments, some of you may have noticed that the Hold Harmless portion was prorated. We spent the last six months requesting a supplemental appropriation to cover the $7.6 million shortfall. It failed to gain approval last month. We are hopeful that the General Assembly may reconsider and approve the measure, which would allow us to reimburse those affected districts.
As always as soon as there is a final FY05 budget to share with you, I will pass it on. I hope each of you has an enjoyable Independence Day weekend.

· Student Assessment Data Verification
· Assessment Frameworks Update
· 2004 Report Card 986-43 Data Collection Now Available
· NCLB Title Programs Performance Reports
· Prekindergarten At-Risk Program Evaluation Report for FY03
· Nonpublic Facility Placement Contract – Form 19-83

Student Assessment Data Verification
The first window for verifying 2004 state assessment data on Pearson's Schoolhouse system closed on Monday, June 28. By this date, district superintendents were to have reviewed and approved demographic data that were collected on answer documents of tested students and first-day-of-testing enrollment data that were previously entered by districts on SchoolHouse (March 22-May 21).
During the second correction window (July 27-August 21), district superintendents will be able to review preliminary school and district score reports—for ISAT, PSAE, IMAGE, and IAA—and, if desired, print reports for local use. Any requests from schools or districts to rescore tests for individual students should be made during this period. District superintendents will also be able to review and make any additional needed corrections to enrollment and student demographic data. However, to make these changes during this second window, district superintendents will need to request special access by calling Pearson at 800-627-7990, state code 814.
AYP participation will be recalculated for every school after the first correction window closes, and a recalculated Preliminary AYP Participation Report will be available for review on SchoolHouse during the second correction window (July 27- August 21st). All districts will need to look at their data during this window and approve the recalculation.
When the second window closes on August 21, only data that have been approved by the district superintendent in SchoolHouse—and that did not subsequently change, which requires reapproval—will be used to produce final score reports and to calculate final AYP participation.
There will be NO additional opportunities after August 21 for district superintendents to review and approve their 2004 state assessment data. If you have questions, feel free to contact the Student Assessment Division at 217/782-4823.
Assessment Frameworks Update
The Assessment Frameworks are the blueprints for the state tests that will be designed and administered beginning in 2006. These frameworks are not intended to be the curriculum guide but instead provide districts with guidelines to what and when areas of the Illinois State Standards will be assessed.
The Frameworks were posted last spring in order to move the process along in our test design process. Through this process, however, practitioners have had input and guidance on items and focus in these documents. Therefore, the Student Assessment Division is in the process of including this input for the Frameworks in writing, math and science. We will put these revised documents on the website in the near future for districts use.
We appreciate greatly the input and work that we have received from practitioners around the state in order to provide frameworks that reflect the standards. Again, if you have questions, please contact the Student Assessment division.
2004 School Report Card 986-43 Data Collection Now Available
The School Report
Card data collection form 86-43, is now available
through IWAS. The due date for submitting the data to ISBE is August
16, 2004. If you have questions, please call the
NCLB Title Programs Performance Reports
Attention superintendents: As of June 30, approximately 400 districts have not completed and submitted the required NCLB Title Programs Performance Report for school year 2002-2003. If your district received any funds from Title I, Title II, Title IV, or Title V in school year 2002-2003, the report must be completed by July 16. Failure to do so may cause funds for 2004-2005 to be frozen. If you have any questions, please call the System of Support at 217-524-4832
Prekindergarten At-Risk Program Evaluation Report for FY03
The PreKindergarten At-Risk Program Evaluation report for fiscal year 2003 is now available on line at http://www.isbe.net/research/pdfs/prek_evaluation.pdf
Nonpublic Facility Placement Contract – Form 19-83
Attention Directors of Special Education: The ISBE Form 19-83 (Nonpublic Facility Placement Contract) is now available in a PDF format on the ISBE Web site. This form can be completed online and then printed. This improvement to our online system was a direct result of input from the field for a more "user-friendly" system. If you have any problems or questions, please contact Chuck Seybold, Private Residential Placement Coordinator, at 217/782-5589. The form can be accessed at: http://www.isbe.net/funding/pdf/19-83_nonpublic_facility.pdf

Rain didn't dampen festivities
Rain did not stop the festivities that went on as planned for the Smithfield Fire Department, with the autumn fest that was held Sept. 21. They even carried on with the parade in a drizzle, even though the band canceled and some units didn't show up.
The new police department SUV-K9 unit led the parade, followed by a Legion honor guard. It was comprised of Tom McCain, Piney Fork American Legion 735 commander; Tony Phillippi, who got lost in the flag as the wind was blowing, and Ed Waldman, both of the Piney Fork Legion; and Steve Cochran of the Smithfield American Legion.
One of the Smithfield fire trucks had some adorable children peeking out of the window, and I snapped their picture and was rewarded with a shower of fruit-flavored Tootsie rolls. Ann Smith tossed me some candy, and since I was the only person standing on the corner of Hill and Zane streets, I scooped them up and gave them to a little girl further down the street.
While I was standing there, a young man with the fire department struck up a conversation, and I learned that he was the son of Doug Filippi, who came out to our house with Jay during their Buckeye Central school days long ago.
It was nice to see these Smithfield Township trustee candidates taking part in the parade: Don Moore, Sesto Nidle and Dan Cermak.
There were emergency vehicles from Dillonvale, their fire department and EMS, Rayland, Adena and Tiltonsville. Amsterdam was present, too, and was rewarded for traveling the farthest. And I know from reading the side of the fire truck that the department in Tiltonsville started in 1917.
The Smithfield department has always recognized the terrible day of Sept. 11, 2001. It is painted on their social room wall, and "Lest we forget" with an eagle is on the side of the fire truck, and it is on the fire house bulletin board each anniversary.
Besides having volunteers from Smithfield help out with money makers, they come from other towns. Loretta Rasta of Steubenville was seated behind the table for the sale of the silent auction tickets and was nice enough to introduce herself to me.
The Boots 'n' Britches 4-H Club had a tent to keep out the rain and had a crowd of children awaiting face painting or the opportunity to play a small game. This was such a grand community project to take part in. And on top of that, they donated the proceeds from the day to the fire department.
Lamont and I attended the Jefferson County Farm Bureau annual meeting/dinner at St. Florian Hall last week.
"Food for Thought" was the theme and along with thinking about food, there was plenty for devouring as well. There was a roast pig, chicken with mushroom sauce and all the trimmings, along with a cake with fresh fruit topping with plenty of black rasberries.
Joe Rozsa sat at the table with us, along with Fred Ramsey and Ruth and Warner Sanders.
The promotion and education committee is one of the busiest committees in the organization. They promote agriculture in the community with place mats; a booth at the Jefferson County Fair and a float at the fair, the first in many years; a cupcake war for young people and the opportunity for those attending the fair to get a sample of their baking; honor an Ag Baby during National Agriculture Week in March; and meet each month to plan other events and collect pennies for the American Farm Bureau approved children's books that are donated each year.
Mary Ellen Grafton is president of the group, with Jeanne Roberts as secretary/treasurer.
Jennifer Barnett is the new administrative assistant and a very busy lady with the Farm Bureau. She has her daughter, Rachel, helping with Agriculture in the Classroom programs, the cupcake wars, where her group was the first-place winner with cherry lemon cupcakes and the float.
Erica Cline is another young lady who is quite busy with Farm Bureau. She designed the poster for the cupcake wars, took lessons on cake decorating along with other contestants; baked chocolate zucchini cupcakes for the cupcake war; and gave them away at her uncle Doug Sabo's insurance booth at the fair; helped with the float; and is the youth representative for the Farm Bureau.
In the "Word from the President" letter, Dave Boring told that through the efforts of the volunteers, there has been a growth of active memberships. Members brought home medals in communication, organization and public policy categories from Columbus.
The promotion and education committee went to the Adena Elementary School and provided an agriculture lesson for each grade level. They learned to make ice cream and butter in plastic bags and enjoyed strawberry shortcake.
Oil and gas leasing information has been offered, along with safety. Six members, along with the Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District employees took a trip to Stone Lab and learned about water quality in Lake Erie and what can be done to prevent harmful algae bloom. Sherry Finney and the public policy action team will use the lessons from Stone Lab to help educate members on water quality issues, it was noted.
Matt Somerville and seven other volunteers attended the Conversation with EASE training in New Philadelphia. They learned how food producers and consumers can communicate better about food production and animal care on Ohio farms.
Cynthia Bordash and Tammy Saphore, elementary teachers in the Edison School District, were presented a scholarship for $250 to continue teaching youth about growing their own lettuce and in this case using it for salads in the cafeteria.
Saphore said a child told her that he had never tasted salad before and that it was pretty good. "They liked being able to grow a food product for other school children and to take home to their families," she said.
I attended the Indian Creek/Buckeye Local football game with my lifelong friend, JoAnn Staten, in her support of Nico Treglia, her grandson who is a gifted drummer with the Creek band.
I was disappointed to see the sparse attendance on the Buckeye side of the field. When a team is down on its luck is when support is needed. Those fine athletes do not want to be on the losing end and want to give the fans something to cheer for.
I heard some names I recognized, such as Josh Figurski, someone I know as a member of the Country Kids 4-H Club, and Austin Flaherty. Time goes by so fast, and the ones I knew as youth are grown up now.
The combination of the Buckeye and Creek bands at half time was impressive. Both have large bands and really know how to entertain. I recognized Morgan Staten in the dance line for the Panthers and Brianna Piergallini as an Indian mascot for the Warriors.
I'm really intrigued how the football players all touch the Indian Creek sign at the entrance gate to the field. If they are too far over to make contact, they will wait until the crowd passes by and put their hand on the sign.

I've been in San Francisco (and nearby) for most of the last week, primarily to attend this year's WhereCamp, which was held at Stanford. I had a ton of great conversations about data, privacy, transit systems, community organizing, and how Portland is or isn't like other places.
I also led a session on geo-games (games with a locative element, digital or otherwise) and design strategies, mechanics, and reward systems. We started off with a list of these items that I had gathered from earlier reading, and added more items and other details on the whiteboard through our discussion. Amber Case made a spreadsheet from the whiteboard notes: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en&hl=en&key=0Asy5qINtkUStdEZPeE5mODVIa1hCV2tlOUFPZ3JxTkE&output=html
We couldn't talk about games without playing a few, of course. Amber and Aaron ran a couple of demos of MapAttack, which is built on their GeoLoqi platform, and lets two teams compete for points by capturing dots while running around outside. At another session I was introduced to Dokobots, an iPhone game involving lost robots who crashlanded on Earth and have to be found and re-activated and sent off to explore things.
WhereCampPDX will be returning again this year as well. We're tentatively scheduled for October 7-8-9 and ought to have more details on the site soon.

Clarendon man denies assaultJune 19,2014Man denies guilt in assault charges
A man charged with beating and kicking a woman in a Rutland parking lot denied a pair of charges in Rutland criminal court Monday.
John Christian Jr., 22, of Clarendon, pleaded innocent to misdemeanor counts of domestic assault and interfering with access to emergency services.
He was released on court-ordered conditions that include a restriction on having contact with the woman he allegedly assaulted.
Rutland police arrested Christian early Saturday morning after a woman told police he beat her in the parking lot adjacent to the former Blockbuster Video store.
The woman told police that Christian held her down on the trunk of a car shortly after 3:30 a.m. and punched and slapped her. He then allegedly threw her to the ground and kicked her.
The woman also told police that Christian has repeatedly threatened to kill her, and she said she was forced to run to a house for help.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Profesor Reyes
Last night, Mets buddy Rob invited me to the game, and at first, I happily swung back a Smirnoff Ice, gobbled an enormous Subway sandwich, BBQ potato chips, and a big ole' ice cream cone. Then the second inning came along. Ouch.
The highlight of the entire game was Jose Reyes's "Profesor Reyes" segment. Last night's word? "Marinero," or "sailor." But the best part was Jose singing the lyrics to La Bamba's chorus, "Yo no soy marinero. Soy capitan, soy capitan" or (and I did not know this) "I am not a sailor. I'm captain, I'm captain."
I was reminded of Thursday's hilarious SNY segment where el Profesor tried to teach Kevin Burkhardt Spanish. Key word being "tried." Here are a couple fun outtakes for you to enjoy🙂
And if you've never seen Shea's "Spanish Academy," here's one of my favorite Profesor Reyes moments:
6 Comments
Great Prof Reyes video…just saw this. Whattup, Z! Peace from Cooperstown,
"David, keep playing baseball. Please." Did you see the one where Delgado says, "Before I attended the Jose Reyes Spanish Academy, I could not speak Spanish"? These segments are great!
Beautiful, Z! Thanks.
On Saturday, apparently Mr. Glavine attended the Spanish academy, and was imitating the whole Jose shaking-head, rolling-eyes, hands-over-face thing. I didn't go so I didn't get to see it.
Tommy G. is quite the ham, judging by his appearance in that "chicks did the long ball" commercial I dug up earlier this week…
We got cheated last night. They were having technical difficulties, and had to cut the segment early.
Hilarious! Thanks for providing the clips.
*sighs* The things I miss cuz see now I have SNY and they block it when the games are on… isn't that something else?
Gracias for keeping me up to date with the lessons😉
Tengo que ir al aeropuerto. I think I did pretty good.
A mi me gusta el Profesor Reyes. Yo he aprendido mucho.

MCA-EDAEY(PO3)AAK(DNP)R-NH2 is a sensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) substrate for assaying protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In the peptide, the fluorescent MCA group is quenched efficiently by the DNP group. The sequence of this peptide is similar to that around the phosphotyrosine residue in pp60src, the Rous sarcoma virus-transforming protein. Although the fluorescence intensity of the substrate is practically unchanged upon PTP-catalysed dephosphorylation, it increases approximately 120-fold upon subsequent treatment with chymotrypsin. It is proven that chymotrypsin cleaves only the dephosphorylated substrate at the Tyr-Ala bond. Thus with the aid of chymotrypsin, dephosphorylation of the substrate can be measured fluorometrically. A strictly linear correlation was observed between PTP concentration and dephosphorylation rate. The fluorogenic substrate is dephosphorylated by some PTPs much more rapidly than the corresponding 32P-labelled substrate used for comparison, whereas alkaline phosphatase dephosphorylates the two substrates at similar rates. The fluorogenic substrate is therefore more specific for PTPs than the radiolabelled substrate. The assay has detection limit of 0.2-0.4 pmol, whereas it is estimated to be about 1 pmol in the assay that used 32P-labelled peptide. The assay with the fluorogenic substrate could be applied to the estimation of kinetic parameters and measurement of PTP activity in crude-enzyme preparations.

Murat Kaynak / Anadolu via EPA
Turkish President Abdullah Gul (left) and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (second left) review the honor guard during a welcoming ceremony in Ankara, Turkey, Tuesday.
JERUSALEM - Israel will withhold tax revenues from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' administration until March at least in response to his statehood campaign at the United Nations, Israel's foreign minister said.
Under interim peace deals, Israel collects some $100 million a month in duties on behalf of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank -- money that is badly needed to pay public sector salaries.
"The Palestinians can forget about getting even one cent in the coming four months, and in four months' time we will decide how to proceed," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a speech Tuesday night.
Israel says Abbas violated previous peace accords by sidestepping stalled negotiations and securing a Palestinian status upgrade in the United Nations last month.
Debts for power, water
Israel has already withheld the December transfer, saying the money would be used to start paying off $200 million the Palestinians owe the Israel Electric Corporation.
Lieberman, a hardliner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conservative coalition government, said the Palestinians also had another debt with the Israeli water authority that would have to be paid off.
"Israel is not prepared to accept unilateral steps by the Palestinian side, and anyone who thinks they will achieve concessions and gains this way is wrong," he said.
Palestinians had a major symbolic victory when the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to recognize them, but the U.S. argued the new status could set back Palestinians in the path to peace. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Hamas leader returns to Palestinian territories for first time since 1967
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior Palestinian official, said earlier this month that Israel was guilty of "piracy and theft" by refusing to hand over the funds.
The European Union has also criticized Israel for not handing over the cash.
"Contractual obligations ... regarding full, timely, predictable and transparent transfer of tax and custom revenues have to be respected," it said on Monday.
UN upgrades Palestinian status, bolstering statehood claim
Israel has previously frozen payments to the Palestinian Authority during times of heightened security and diplomatic tensions, provoking strong international criticism, such as when the U.N. cultural body UNESCO granted the Palestinians full membership a year ago.
Abbas's U.N. victory was a diplomatic setback for the United States and Israel, which were joined by only seven other countries in voting against upgrading the Palestinians' observer status to "non-member state", like the Vatican, from "entity."
Hours after the U.N. vote, Israel said it would authorize 3,000 new settler homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and expedite planning work for thousands more in a geographically sensitive area close to Jerusalem. Critics say this plan would kill off Palestinian hopes of a viable state.

Phillies Find Runs in Arizona
After 3 straight ugly losses, the Phillies finally found some runs in the Arizona desert against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Like a dying man searching for water, each player drug his tired body to the plate and kept trying until they succeeded.
The offensive outburst included 8 runs with 3 home runs, a double and a triple. That is a far cry from the pitiful one-run or no run games the Phillies have been producing lately. But the question now is, was this run explosion the real deal or just a desert mirage?
A quick look at the stats show the Phillies are not out of trouble just yet. For example, Jimmy Rollins went hitless…again. And half of the Phillies hits and 5 of 8 RBI's were collected by bench players. Laynce Nix had a huge night with 2 hits and 3 RBI, including a home run; and Pete Orr went 2-for-4 with 2 RBI.
But some of the regulars stepped up as well. Hunter Pence missed the last game with a sore shoulder. But on Tuesday night, he smashed a 2-run homer. Maybe he should hurt his shoulder more often? Ok, maybe not…
As for the pitching, Vance Worley was spectacular again. He went 6 innings allowing only 1 run. The bullpen, on the other hand, had some issues. Jose Contreras bombed in the 7th, allowing 3 runs right after the Phillies had a 3-run inning. That is the equivalent of a mortal sin in bullpen terms.
Then in the 8th, Chad Qualls committed the same sin, allowing one run after the Phillies had just scored one in the top of the inning. It was the first run Qualls has allowed so far this year, so he is forgiven ;o)
Regardless, a win is a win and this one was HUGE for a struggling team that is trying to dig themselves out of a hole early in the season. Game 3 with the D-Backs is early today; 3:40pm. Cole Hamels will pitch.

Let's remove the unnaitercty over Cole Hamels. They are going to sign him and he wants to be here. It is going to happen either in the offseason or early next season it won't get to the 11th hour.The hard decisions are Rollins, Madson and Oswalt ($16 million option). My guess is one of them, and only one of them, is not going to return. If you forced me to guess today, the one who does not stay is Oswalt. But Ruben loves his starting pitchers, so don't be surprised if his deal is restructured and extended a year (2 years, $26 million?).

Last month when the sky opened and released hail across Windward Oahu, the chunks of ice evaporated within hours.
However, the freaky weather left a longer lasting impression.
Under a Quonset hut off of Kapaa Quarry Road, the Hawaiian Hail Team is knocking, pushing and massaging out dent damage on vehicles brought into the Kailua shop.
"I started chasing hail storms across the United States and one chased me home, I guess," laughed partner Matt Hayward.
Though he jokes, Hayward isn't kidding. Hayward planned to hunt down the next storm but Mother Nature kept him here.
In the days following the hail storm, Hayward, Victor Irizarry and Troy Ginoza -- all established paintless dent repair technicians in Hawaii -- worked on about two dozen cars and trucks, all targets of hail.
"They can be from a pebble, to a silver dollar, to even bigger than that we've seen," Hayward said.
Kailua resident Sally Chaney didn't have one car hit by hail -- she and her husband had three vehicles battered by ice balls.
"He said, "Oh my, there's just so much damage,'" said Chaney.
Chaney said she was concerned her insurance wouldn't cover the repairs, but she says her vehicle's comprehensive insurance picks up most of the tab.
"We only had to pay one deductible for all three, since it was one incident," said Chaney.
The techs don't use paint; a process they say is not only eco-friendly but the result is a look that is streak-free.
Within a day, Chaney's Mini Cooper convertible is back, blemish-free.
"I know a lot of other people had way more damage. So we were pretty fortunate. A couple dings on cars were good," said Chaney.
For more information visit the dent shops website at www.MiragePDR.com.
We will have a full report tonight on KITV4 News at 5.

- Abstract
- We present the first data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities and stellar atmosphere parameters (temperature, metallicity, and surface gravity) of up to one million stars using the Six Degree Field multiobject spectrograph on the 1.2 m UK Schmidt Telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The RAVE program started in 2003, obtaining medium-resolution spectra (median R = 7500) in the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795 Å) for southern hemisphere stars drawn from the Tycho-2 and SuperCOSMOS catalogs, in the magnitude range 9 < I < 12. The first data release is described in this paper and contains radial velocities for 24,748 individual stars (25,274 measurements when including reobservations). Those data were obtained on 67 nights between 2003 April 11 and 2004 April 3. The total sky coverage within this data release is ~4760 deg2. The average signal-to-noise ratio of the observed spectra is 29.5, and 80% of the radial velocities have uncertainties better than 3.4 km s-1. Combining internal errors and zero-point errors, the mode is found to be 2 km s-1. Repeat observations are used to assess the stability of our radial velocity solution, resulting in a variance of 2.8 km s-1. We demonstrate that the radial velocities derived for the first data set do not show any systematic trend with color or signal-to-noise ratio. The RAVE radial velocities are complemented in the data release with proper motions from Starnet 2.0, Tycho-2, and SuperCOSMOS, in addition to photometric data from the major optical and infrared catalogs (Tycho-2, USNO-B, DENIS, and the Two Micron All Sky Survey). The data release can be accessed via the RAVE Web site.

I can't remember what the conclusion was and I've no time to search this thread or any other but if I had a deep fat fryer, and I wanted to have, for example, homemade onion bhajis and homemade doughnuts for tea, both in veg oil, could I do one after the other? Or would the oil become tainted by flavour? And secondly, if I wanted them two days in a row, is the current oil ok?
The bhajis would flavour the oil more, I'd expect, so if you have a choice, do the doughnuts first.

A Testing Time...
Do you feel that there's something missing in your DBA life? I did ... before I discovered unit testing with SQL Server! Fact: you're a busy, hard-working DBA ... are unit tests relevant to you? You probably feel that you have enough to do already just "keeping the lights on". BUT - consider for a moment that unit tests are now a crucial part of all modern development. It's at the core of agile development: Test First/Test Driven Development. So why is unit testing neglected for the database? This session's presenter, awarded "Best Presenter" in last SQLBits(!) - will show you quickly and easily how to get started with SQL Server unit testing ... and as a bonus the presenter has several free copies of a commercial unit testing framework to give away! If you feel that you just don't know where to start; or that you can't see how testing even applies to databases - come along to the session, give me just 1-hour of your time. I guarantee, I will change your mind. The session is accessible - even if you've never written a single test before. The simplest tests are simple one-liners that could save you hours of pain in the future. The session goes well beyond the concepts and shows tried-and-trusted techniques used every day by the session's presenter.

Fashion week is almost as much about the after-parties as the shows themselves. With the first models having head down the runway on Thursday afternoon, the nights started to light up with their own celebrations.
As a vernissage to the festivities, Absolut partnered with Milk Made and NYCult to kick off fashion week with a bang at the brand new meatpacking club Up and Down. The beautiful two-floor club should have considered adding another level, considering there were almost as many people trying to get into the club as there were in it. For those lucky enough to make it past the velvet rope, the reward was the best music, the most fashionable crowd and three amazing signature Absolut cocktails.

February 5, 2014 —
My friend Art Peck was not a simple man. What he knew about the world, he mostly learned from experience. When he wanted to know more, he turned to a book, or the Internet, or to someone with more experience. With less than an 8th grade formal education, he built a small empire, several boats, a few cars and a house. He was born smart, not raised smart. He had his own ideas, whether about politics, or the environment, or business, or art, or the way a mutual friend kept house.
I never left one of the afternoon bull sessions at Art's barn without wanting to be a fly on the wall after I shut the door. I had been privy to many of his apt assessments (not all negative) about others after they left the confines of the barn. That makes him sound catty, and he could be, but his intuition about people was so keen that most people would be better off knowing what he thought of them.
Although he could do almost anything he set out to do, he knew how to pick his projects and what to spend his money on. He knew a new roof on his and Beth's house would add equity for years to come but tile the bathroom floor? Why should he, he figured? "Whoever buys the house will want to choose their own tile, and I like the soft carpet," he told me.
When Art went to buy a pick-up truck at the local dealer he had to special order one without any options. No fancy 4WD for Art. "I'm old enough now that when it snows, I stay in."
Lest you think this man was a stiff, let me advise you otherwise. He outfitted his new truck with hand-wrought wood side panels and adorned it with a decal "Wal-Mard Special" in Wal-Mart yellow lettering. He deliberately misspelled Wal-Mart to avoid the copyright police.
After our area experienced the second 100-year flood in 10 months, Art constructed a lighthouse and, after asking our permission, placed it on one of our islands in the Delaware. It was the talk of the town and a statement of resilience, until a local environmentalist complained to the National Parks Service and the lighthouse was removed. "Some people just don't know how to have fun," said Art.
Even his friends could be the butt of his humor. A letter came in the mail one day from the Liberty Institute in Philadelphia, complete with a PA postmark. The official-looking letter said we were now living in a protected eagle-nesting area and were subject to restrictions on our behavior. We were incensed. We loved cohabiting with our raptor neighbors, but this letter was telling us we couldn't read late at night.
I don't remember how we figured it out, but Art was pretty distressed when I told him I knew the letter was from him. "Darn city slickers," I can imagine him saying. But I had been forewarned by his stories from the Sputnik era, when he and a friend planted a contraption on someone's property that pretended to be a piece of the fallen Russian satellite. They played the friend for all he was worth before revealing their prank. Now that I think of it, we could have had a few months' worth of good fun with the Eagle Institute prank, if I had been half as smart as Art.
He told Beth he didn't want a memorial service. I'm sorry for that. But he didn't say I couldn't write about him. So long, friend.

Chicken Soup with Rice
In January
it's so nice
while slipping
on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup
with rice
Collected in this charming book are twelve lilting rhymes and illustrations for the twelve months of the year, with chicken soup as their universal theme. Although the book starts in the middle of winter — presumably the best time for chicken soup — a case is made for the presence of chicken soup in every season. Even in the peak of the sultry summer: In August / it will be so hot / I will become / a cooking pot / cooking soup of course / Why not? / Cooking once / cooking twice / cooking chicken soup / with rice.
In this tiny volume, first published in 1962, the inimitable Maurice Sendak demonstrates his famous ear for language, rhythm, and word play and anticipates the strengths of his later children's classics such as Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen. Likewise, his illustrations here in Chicken Soup with Rice are, as always, playful and witty. Each rhyme is introduced with a decorative bar, framing the name of each month like a calendar. And by the "year's end," readers are convinced that all seasons / of the year / are nice / for eating / chicken soup / with rice!
An excellent read-aloud, demonstrating the progression of the year, seasons, and the power of poetry.
