Skip to comments.So why no public outcry on the rising price of gasoline?
Posted on 02/01/2011 7:13:10 AM PST by From The Deer Stand
Now that the per-gallon price of gasoline has creeped up to $3.15, $3.20 and beyond, it is as if nobody cares. Not like the days when gas was in the mid $2.50's and George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were getting hammered by the media for high gas prices and making their rich oil buddies richer. What is going on? Are we content with having massive untapped oil reserves in the U.S., and yet being held hostage to the Middle East and Venezuela? Are Americans content with not being in control of our own oil destiny? Have we turned into a bunch of sheep? Maybe someone can explain.
Simple. No TV cameras. Draw your own conclusions.
do you really need to ask? i mean really?
Because the media is not harping on it. There are lots of people complaining, you just don't hear or see them.
Ummm, because we have a corrupt, politicized, left-wing media????
Or is there a less obvious answer?
No jobs to drive to - price per gallon is moot.
There's plenty of beefing and complaining! The publics voice has been muted by the MSM. Just pay and shut up! :)
LOL......It's STILL Bushes fault!
When there is a Republican in office, the Monica Media pounds us with daily human interest stories of Pain at the Pump.
When a Democrat is in office, not so much.
The correct answer is in the planning by the great zero. Since nobody is working (even though he says times are good), nobody can afford to drive and so they do not know how high gasoline is. Or as other forums would say "sheepie, sheepie".
Simple answer.
Incidentally I drive a diesel pickup and diesel here in Albuquerque is now 3.40 and up.
Because the RAT Party likes it when gas hits $4.00 a gallon and they can say it was Bush's fault. Egypt is all Bush's fault. Supporting Israel is all Bush's fault. Get it!
You mean "Why no Media Outcry?". Simple, they would never upset their masters.
That anger is being redirected against Mortgages and bankers and the Federal Reserve.
Mortgages are just a symptom of the economy tanking. Oil price increases is one of the big root causes of the economy tanking.
Everybody's unemployed so they don't need gas to get to work.................
The Dear Leader said we shall not drill. Drilling in American waters is off-limits for America. Chinese, Russian and Cuban companies will fill that gap and profit handsomely. Meanwhile once-powerful America will meekly sit in the corner with its hands tied, hoping and praying its energy needs will be minimally met with solar panels and huge props in farm fields.
Vociferous bitching is not a solution. Neither is boycotting
gas pumps. ;-)
no kidding! Didn't you get tired of the phrase "Pain at the Pump" in news stories back in the Bush Era?
I did a search on "pain at the pump" on news.google.com\archivesearch (when gas was $2.81 a gallon) and it found 15,000 articles with that phrase.
This phrase appear 62 times in 2010, although the first one I found was a CNN story with the heading "NO pain at the pump"
The MSM has been very fortunate. There have been plenty of "stories" that they have been able to focus on the last couple of months, instead of the gasoline story - elections, what will Obama do because of election, John Boehner crying, Barack Obama in Hawaii, Weather, Charlie Sheen, Weather, Egypt, Weather. After this storm clears, they'll think of something else to talk about, other than the misery of "normal" Americas.
The outcry is there - the media just refuses to report it. After all, their boy is in the White House now, so high gasoline prices don't matter any more.
Because it hasn't yet hit the "$10 a gallon" he desires for the "good of the planet"?
The media isn't mentioning it because it's all going exactly as planned.
Filled up yesterday at $2.95 in nw Arkansas.
It was $2.60 two months ago.
The complicit "media" and the democrats will be happy to let gas prices skyrocket, then take full advantage of the resultant "crisis." The sheeple will bleat pleadingly for the government to "do something." "Something" will be done alright, in the form of even more-restrictive cap-and-trade legislation. The GOPers in the House will be shamed into supporting it, lest they be accused of "wanting" $5-per-gallon gasoline.
Thanks for your service.
That's because Mr. Bush is not the president.
Anything bad that happens under Mr. Obama lead is stuff that is out of control, and the fault of Goerge W. Bush.
I don't understand why Obama is helping Bush's oil buddies get richer. /s
Oh, we care. The media just isn't reporting it.
I'm surprised Palin hasn't been blamed yet. Give them time, though.
I have been laid off since November, I think I only drive into town once a week now, a lot of Americans are out of work and are probably not driving either.
Here's a comparison on the "homeless problem."
All problems "go away" when democrats are in the White House.
Obama is tbtf.
At some point the media should be held accountable for its lack of honest information and reporting. People should stop listening to the propaganda stations and let their owners - the honchos why. Of course, the honchos have their progressive agenda to pursue but we should make it at a dear price!
When Bush was president, TV crews staked out at gas stations in the early hours of the morning, just waiting for the owner to post a price with the big "$4."
Now that obama is pres, the media will totally pay no attention when gas goes over 4. Or they will blame it on Egypt.
What matters to a leftist media depends on who has control.
At $4.00 a gallon we will get local media in front of gas stations showing the price (as if we can't see that). There will be some mention of hardship. When record prices are reached, real cases of hardship will be visible without the news. The guy trying to get to work but not enough gas to get home.
When it gets to $6.00, $7.00, $9.00 a gallon there will start to be pressure to drill in the U.S.
Until then, find a car that gets 35 mpg or more. For most people, that will cut your gasoline cost in half. Actually some very nice cars out there.
Since I lost my job a year back, my one requirement for a new job was locality. The wife works down the street.
I now work a mile from home, and use about ten gallons of gas a month. More in the snow blower than the car.
It helps if one can stay local today.
Used to spend about $50 a week on gas. No doubt this lack of expenditure is doing wonders for the economy and the planet.
You do have a point!
Because Bush is no longer President.
Because the media was all about fomentinng hatred and anger when Bush was President, now they are all about tamping it down for Obama...
Republicans and capitalism are blamed for high oil prices but only when a Republican is in power.
2. Bush too long out of office to spin it that it's his
3. Middle East "unrest" is causing speculative price hikes and because it has to do with Muslims, there can be no blame from the press.
4. Obama's and Michelle's extravagant travels have caused a spike in gas and jet fuel utilization.
5. Obama's drilling moratorium has stopped new activity and additional fuel reaching market.
6. House Republicans have not been in power long enough for
the press to figure out that they can blame them!!!
The Magic Mullato is too historic to even consider his massive failures and the pain he is causing American citizens.
The Left as personified by the entire MSM is a moral vacuum wrapped in a hollow fraud, and they recognize and protect one of their own at all costs.
I've seen news coverage, but it's all along the lines of this being the way the market is.
The Drive-By-media is busy with revolution(s) in the ME and Chuck Sheen.
Give it time. . .
For sure, but there are only a few that report honestly and they are overwhelmed by those that don't.
There is as much complaining about it now as there was when President Bush was in office.
However, the media has been tasked (I hate that word) to keep it under wraps.
Rising gas prices are only reported on if a Republican is president. When a good Democrat is president, the subject is ignored.
The same applies to other subjects too. We have incredible problems with homelessness and people grappling with poverty when there is a Republican president. But when a good Democrat is president, that problem is ignored.
It's not that the issues don't exist anymore, it's just that the liberals in the MSM choose not to report certain subjects.
I can deal with the price of gas because it would cost too much now to get something more fuel efficient. I have two motorcycles but here in Alaska riding is pretty seasonal.
My big regret is that I do hate my job which is local, I would not be able to find another thats similar and pays near the same, all the better paying jobs are 50 miles away in Anchorage and with such a big truck that barely gets over 10 MPG commuting is out of the question, and I cannot carpool. My type of work does require a truck this size at times.
Even with a "local" job I have been paying on average $60-85 a week in fuel. Alaska fuel prices and a 1 ton dually with a 496 cubic inch gas motor.
What I did last year was to keep the dually service truck at work, use it for the big jobs but commute on my Yamaha 1300 Tourer, it gets over 50mpg.

Flintoff set for Roses return
Andrew Flintoff has come out of retirement to play for Lancashire in the NatWest T20 Blast and could face Yorkshire next week.
- Related Content
The 36-year-old will not play in Friday night's T20 clash with Birmingham Bears at Old Trafford, but is understood to be highly likely to be involved in next Friday's game against Roses rivals Yorkshire Vikings.
Flintoff has been working on his fitness in training with Lancashire in recent months and is relishing the opportunity to get back into competitive cricket, having not done so for almost five years.
"I'm really honoured to be part of Lancashire once again," he said on www.lccc.co.uk. "It is something that I never thought would happen but, after training with the squad over the last few months, I am really happy that they have invited me to play.
"I have worked really hard to get back to my fittest and I hope that we have a successful summer. I'm just glad that I can be part of it."
LCCC cricket director Mike Watkinson was thrilled to welcome back the former England all-rounder, who will boost Glen Chapple's men in their bid to reach finals day at Edgbaston in August.
"We are delighted to have Fred involved once again at the club," Watkinson said. "He is Lancashire through and through and his record for both club and country speaks for itself.
"Fred has been back at Emirates Old Trafford under his own steam since the winter and has been working with the academy and in the nets with some of the other players.
"Over a period of time he has picked up on his physical conditioning and this continues to improve. He has shown in practice that he still has plenty of class with bat and ball, and will be a great addition to the NatWest T20 Blast squad."
There was speculation Flintoff might return for Lancashire 2nd XI in a friendly against a representative team from the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire League at Leek on Tuesday.
Instead, he appeared at Headingley to join training with the first-team squad before day three of their LV= County Championship match against Yorkshire.
In his years away from cricket, Flintoff has explored other options - including one bout of professional boxing.
He represented England in 79 Tests, 141 one-day internationals and seven Twenty20 games. He also made 80 first-class appearances for the Red Rose, scoring 4,042 runs at 35.14 and taking 92 wickets at 29.16.
Flintoff's Lancashire Twenty20 record consists of 16 games, averaging 13.94 with the ball and 29.64 with the bat, with a high score of 93 against Derbyshire in 2009.
Flintoff is expected to feature for boyhood club St Annes on Saturday in preparation for his return to the Lightning line-up, his appearance likely to ramp up interest in the Northern League clash with Penrith at the Vernon Road ground.
St Annes captain Andy Kellett announced the news to his players before Thursday night's T20 match with Fleetwood, with the younger members of the team apparently stunned to learn they were about to share a field with the club's most famous old boy.
Kellett said: "Andrew is as fit as a fiddle - that is why Lancashire are so happy for him to play for them again.
"We don't know how much we will use him against Penrith and we will discuss that after he arrives at the ground on Saturday.
"It will be a bit weird for me being captain of the side when there is a former England captain in the side, but I have done it before.
"We always knew when Andrew first played here as a youngster that he would go on to much better things, though not the superstar he became."

Idaho Teachers will get Bonuses
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho teachers will still get about $38 million in merit-pay bonuses this year, despite voters' rejection of public schools chief Tom Luna's education overhaul. The Idaho attorney general says the failure at the polls shouldn't affect the payout. Voters rejected not only the merit-pay provisions but also limits on collective bargaining and a $180 million contract for laptops for high school students.

Not surprising the mainstream media is staying very far away from this story. Not even Rush Limbaugh wanted to talk about it. Whether the story is true or not only time will tell. One thing is definitely true. Michelle Obama is still in Hawaii away from the president and the reason given was extremely flimsy.
National Enquirer - WITH a White House cheating scandal set to explode, President BARACK OBAMA and his wife MICHELLE are hiding a divorce shocker from America!
Only weeks after Obama publicly humiliated the first lady by snapping a "selfie" with a dishy blonde foreign leader, the first couple's shaky 21-year marriage has collapsed following a disastrous holiday trip, sources say.
The two locked horns in a series of ugly fights during their recent Hawaiian getaway, but sources say the death blow came when Michelle learned that the Secret Service has covered up Obama's cheating – twice.
After a "mole" exposed the president's betrayal, a furious Michelle ripped into him during a bitter blow-out and raged: "I want out!"
Then, in a shocking show of defiance, she refused to return to Washington, D.C., with Obama and their daughters when their 15-day vacation ended.
"Michelle is so upset over her troubled marriage that she didn't want to leave Hawaii when it was time to go," a source told The ENQUIRER.
"She said she wasn't ready to face the 'fish bowl' of Washington, D.C., and refused to fly home with Obama and the girls on Air Force One. The president had no choice but to leave Michelle behind in Hawaii."
Sources say the White House was forced into "damage control spin mode" to explain why Michelle remained holed up at the couple's luxurious $24,500-a-week oceanfront rental in Oahu.
According to Associated Press: "Mrs. Obama stayed behind to spend time with friends ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday party."
Another report said that Michelle planned to visit Oprah Winfrey at her estate on Maui.
In any case, Michelle turns 50 on Jan. 17, and her husband is throwing her a gala birthday bash at the White House the following day.
But as The ENQUIRER has reported, the two have been at war ever since the president brazenly flirted with Denmark's leggy blonde female prime minster, Helle Thorning-
Schmidt, during the memorial service for South African icon Nelson Mandela. Obama, 52, and the 47-year-old beauty playfully snapped a "selfie" photograph together during the solemn ceremony on Dec. 10 while an obviously incensed Michelle shot daggers at them.
In the wake of the mortifying incident, sources said the first couple moved into separate White House bedrooms, and Michelle met with divorce attorneys.
The first lady was still reeling from the "selfie" episode when the couple had a showdown in Hawaii over her birthday party, sources say.

solar energy - permits and inspection
Please be aware that the following requirements are not monitored or controlled by Con Edison. We recommend that you consider and discuss them with your solar contractor prior to installation.
For installation of your new solar-energy system, the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) requires an electrical permit and a building permit. Obtaining these permits is a separate process from those involving Con Edison and NYSERDA.
The electric permit is obtained from the Bureau of Electrical Control (BEC), which is a section of the DOB. The building permit, called a PW1 Alt 2, is also obtained through the DOB but must be certified by a third-party structural engineer.
The solar PV installation must meet safety and code requirements set by both the DOB and the New York City Fire Department, including zoning laws, fire codes, and landmarks review. A certified installer should understand the permitting process if they have performed other such projects in the Con Edison territory. More information is offered through the NYC Buildings website.

Aikido with Ki DVD with Koichi Tohei
Aikido Journal
Sorry, this item is temporarily out of stock.
We are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new DVD featuring one of the most famous Aikido teachers of all time: Koichi Tohei, 10th dan. This new production is titled Koichi Tohei: Aikido with Ki, and explores the early phase of Tohei Sensei's career while he was Chief Instructor of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo. This represents the heyday of postwar Aikido and the period when the art experienced steady growth to assume a prominent role among Japanese martial arts.
Tohei Sensei was known for his unique approach to Aikido based on the principles of ki. He devised an elaborate technical curriculum that included a series of ki development exercises in addition to Aikido techniques. Tohei Sensei's theories and methodology enjoyed a large following with the Aikikai and abroad, especially in Hawaii and the mainland USA. His many publications in both English and Japanese further enhanced his popularity to the point that, by the late 1960s and early 1970s, his fame eclipsed that of the Founder and the Second Doshu.
Tohei Sensei left the Aikikai organization is 1974 and formed his own school called "Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido," Aikido with mind and body coordinated. He has followed his own independent path since his departure from the Hombu Dojo. With the passage of time, much of the Aikido world has forgotten the many accomplishments of Koichi Tohei and the huge debt he is owed, both technically and philosophically, for the shaping of modern Aikido. The purpose of this DVD is to revisit Tohei Sensei's early career and draw attention to his extraordinary contributions among today's practitioners of the art.
The centerpiece of Koichi Tohei: Aikido with Ki is a newly-discovered 36-minute film of a 1974 seminar conducted by Tohei Sensei in San Francisco. The quality of this film is amazing as it has been digitally remastered through a special process where each film frame is scanned individually at high resolution. This seminar coupled with the documentary written and narrated by Stanley Pranin, the introduction to Tohei Sensei's technical system, and a collection of exciting demonstrations make for a thoroughly engrossing study of this famous teacher.
- Documentary: a presentation tracing the early life and aikido background of Koichi Tohei through his years as Chief Instructor of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, through his establishment of Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido in 1974. Many historical photos capture the highlights of Tohei Sensei's stellar career and explain why his efforts and accomplishments have left such an indelible imprint on modern aikido.
-Warmups and preparatory exercises: this section presents the elaborate warmups and exercises system developed by Tohei Sensei as a prelude to training in aikido techniques. They emphasize stability, relaxation, and the proper use of ki.
-Techniques: a presentation of the technical curriculum taught by Tohei Sensei during the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s, during his tenure at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo. Tohei Sensei demonstrates most of his "50 Arts of Aikido" from a 1967 film.
-Seminar: nearly 40 minutes of rare film footage of a 1974 seminar conducted by Tohei Sensei in San Francisco. Scores of techniques from his curriculum are clearly demonstrated. This historical film has been digitally remastered for the the highest possible image quality.
-Demonstrations: bonus footage of four demonstrations by Tohei Sensei: 1952 demonstration outdoors also featuring Kisshomaru Ueshiba and Tadashi Abe; 1967 All-Japan Aikido Demonstration; 1968 Special Demonstration at Hombu Dojo; 1973 All-Japan Aikido Demonstration.

Who can you trust on Vermont Yankee?November 29,2012
Who can you trust on Vermont Yankee?
The Public Service Board is holding hearings around Vermont seeking input for its docket on whether to grant Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant a new certificate of public good to continue operating. The PSB should deny VY a new certificate for the following reasons.
We cannot count on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to look out for our public good. Historically it has proven to be (1) OF the nuclear industry; (2) BY the nuclear industry; and (3) FOR the nuclear industry.
Nor can we count on VYs parent, Louisiana-based Entergy, to look out for our public good. Entergys fiduciary responsibility is to make decisions that benefit its shareholders. This has meant deferring maintenance, postponing major equipment replacements, and ignoring the rising but impending costs of decommissioning. Entergy subsequently filed suits against the state of Vermont and the Public Service Board to try to reverse a decision they had previously agreed to and demanding that Vermont taxpayers cover their legal fees.
We cannot count on Vermont Yankee to enhance our public good since it has not even proposed a competitive energy price acceptable to our utilities.
We have counted on the Vermont Legislature, and the Vermont Senate examined closely Entergys corporate record. The Senate deemed that record was not conducive to the public good and, reflecting the expressed will of the majority of Vermonters, voted to reject PSB approval of a certificate of public good for Vermont Yankee.
We could not count on the courts to look out for Vermonts public good. Federal Judge J. Garvan Murthas pro-VY decision in the case Entergy brought against the state was based on inference what Entergy said the legislators were thinking when they voted rather than on the written legislative record. Murthas decision is being appealed, but meanwhile Murtha returned the CPG decision back to the PSB; hence, the PSB docket and public hearings.
I ask the PSB to value the constitutional concept of states rights and respect the Vermont legislative decisions; examine the history of Entergys corporate behavior; and following the precepts of its own mission statement deny Vermont Yankee a new certificate of public good.

Contracts is the study of private law making, i.e., the consensual creation of legally enforceable rights and duties among private parties. The course examines basic concepts of economic relationships, the tension between freedom of contract and fairness in dealing, and the interplay between rules and �justice.� The course addresses such substantive issues as how to read a contract, contract formation, enforceability, conditions, defenses, and remedies. Contracts, therefore, provides a foundation for much of the curriculum: Business Associations, Commercial Law, Consumer Protection, and more. Evening students will take Contracts (4). Depending upon academic assignments made in the summer prior to the start of the student�s first year in law school, some day students will take Contracts (4); other day students will take Introduction to Contracts (2) and Contracts II (3).

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJuly 1, 2010 Contact: Janet Elliott (512) 463-0112
Elementary Student Fitness Levels Improve
AUSTIN — A greater percentage of elementary school students achieved "healthy zone" benchmarks this year, according to results of the third round of fitness assessments established under 2007 legislation authored by Texas State Senator Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound.
Gains were measured for students in grades 3-8. At the high school level, the percentage of students who met target levels on all six tests declined slightly from the previous school year.
"The improvements for our younger students are encouraging, but overall fewer than a third of Texas students recorded overall physical fitness," Senator Nelson said. "The high school results are alarming and show why this is a bad time to be cutting PE requirements."
Senator Nelson has authored legislation in several sessions that resulted in increased physical education requirements for elementary and middle-school students. In 2007, with the passage SB 530, Texas became the first state to conduct annual fitness tests.
The assessments measure body composition, aerobic capacity, strength, endurance and flexibility. About 2.9 million students participated this year with a wide range of results, the highest being 37.27 percent of 3rd grade girls designated in the "healthy zone" and the lowest being 12th grade girls at 8.07 percent. (Complete three-year results are available here.)
"These annual fitness assessments clearly show that we must get back to the basics of ensuring the health of our children by promoting nutrition, fitness and overall health in our schools," she said.
SENATOR JANE NELSON represents District 12, including portions of Tarrant and Denton Counties. She is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services.

IAS15 inflation adjustments and EVA: empirical evidence from a highly variable inflation regime
Pierre Erasmus
Inflation can have a pronounced effect on the financial performance of a firm. This study makes inflation adjustments to a firm's cost of sales, depreciation, level of gearing and assets in line with International Accounting Standard 15 (IAS15) in order to calculate an inflation-adjusted version of the economic value added (EVA) measure. The study was conducted using data from South African industrial firms during a period characterised by highly variable inflation levels (1991-2005). The results indicate that during this period there were significant differences between the nominal and real values of the firms' EVAs

First Settlement to offer free post-race massages
PARKERSBURG – The 2014 Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half-Marathon marks the 10th year that First Settlement Physical Therapy has provided post-race massage and care free of charge.
When a marathon runner finishes their race they are immediately greeted by 25 licensed physical therapists that are there to perform deep tissue massage, according to a press release.
Physical therapists use deep tissue massage for many reasons. Massage helps increase blood flow to leg muscles helping to increase oxygen delivery to help with healing and recovery.
It also benefits muscle elasticity and reduces the soreness and fatigue someone can feel before or after a big race. Physical therapists spend an average of 10-15 minutes with each runner to ensure they are getting the most out of their post-race massage, officials said.
"As physical therapists we are excited to promote a healthy lifestyle. We can significantly decreases post-race soreness with these massages and thereby hopefully increase continued participation from runners year after year," said Simon Hargus, a physical therapist.
"I grew up in Parkersburg and owe a lot to the schools and friends I've made here, so it's a real privilege to be able to give back to our community," he adds.
First Settlement Physical Therapy was started in 1999 by physical therapist Hema Hargus and her husband, Phil Hargus, with the desire to create a health care company where the patient came first every step of the way, they said. Recently their son Simon Hargus and his wife, Lisa, both physical therapists, joined the multigenerational family company.
First Settlement Physical Therapy is a family-owned business that has been serving the Mid-Ohio Valley and surrounding communities for over 15 years. They provide hands-on care with the belief that the patient comes first every step of the way, the said.
FSPT has 12 locations throughout West Virginia and Ohio.

Hi all, I have an answer which is puzzeling me
from the answer page it reads;
if L is the length of the shorter edge, by pythag` theorem, 2L^2 =a^2, so L^2=1/2a^2
Hence the shorter edge L, has length a/sqrt 2
if it helps the picture is a right angled triangle with a hyp` of length given as a, and the two shorter lenghts given as L
what I can`t get is why the shorter edge L, has length a/sqrt 2
So, we have 2L^2 = a^2. Divide both sides by 2. Now, take the square root of both sides.
I am just repeating the proof you gave. I am still curious to know which exactly part of it you don't understand.
Look, is it too hard for you to say: "This equality I understand, but how this one follows from it I don't understand."
We have the following theorems about square root:
(1) If , then .
(2) If and , then .
So, we have the following derivation.
1. From the Pythagoras theorem, . Divide both sides by 2.
2. . Take square root of both sides.
3. . Apply (2)
4. . Apply (1)
5. .
Could you say which of the facts (1), (2) and steps 1-5 were not clear to you?

All that remains of the day is a faint peach glow in the western sky. The trees stretch their bare limbs trying to shake off winter stiffness. The puddle of water at the bottom of the driveway is a silver platter in the twilight. All is quiet, even the spring peepers. We wait, all of us, for the arrival of spring. We wait for that day when life erupts as Persephone returns.

Happy Monday, fam. I hope that you all had wonderful weekends! Gosh, saying that mine was busy is an understatement. My Father's 50th birthday party (it was a surprise!) was in full swing in North Florida. I had to make my way up there and celebrate with him and my family from Miami and Atlanta. Of course I will be sure to post pictures of the joyous family affair, but in the meantime….let's get started on this Women's History Month Challenge!!
Gangstarr Girl and I have collaborated to do another challenge in which we not only drop a few snippets on monumental women but we also create looks representing them.
Because of the craziness that was this past weekend, I didn't have the time to actually play around with make-up myself. However, after telling my baby cousin Corey the idea behind this post, she was cool enough to let me make her over.
Corey is my baby cousin. At 16 years old, I remember semi-raising this little girl. She is my heart and soul and will ALWAYS be my baby. *tears* I get emotional just thinking about how much I love this girl. Corey and I have decided to honor my Grandmother and her Great-Grandmother for this Women's History Month.
A little bit about our Grandma, Mrs. Eugenia B. Thomas:
Eugenia B. Thomas was born on November 24, 1924 in Atlanta, Georgia and came to Miami in 1929 where she was adopted by the Bell family. Because of hard times, the Bells offered the home to Eugenia and raised her as their own. She attended Booker T. Washington High School where she graduated class valedictorian in 1940.
After graduating from high school, with high achieving academic records, she attended Florida Memorial University where she also graduated with honors (Magna Cum Laude) in 1945. She then graduated from Biscayne Development Executives and Fordham School of Public Speaking. Mrs. Thomas worked as a Dade County administrator and later as a legal secretary for many years. She assisted Gwendolyn Cherry in opening the first Dade County offices of the Legal Services Department. Mrs. Thomas continued to work in various departments for almost 30 years until 1966 when she retired.
The happiest time of her life was during her marriage to a gentleman named Lawson E. Thomas; they married on December 26, 1953. Her husband was the first African-American judge in the south since Reconstruction. He was very influential in the African-American community and did a lot of work during the Civil Rights Movement as a pioneer in Miami's African-American community. The late Judge Lawson E. Thomas and Mrs. Eugenia B. Thomas have made solid imprints in Miami's history. As an attorney, his skillful advocacy resulted in many noteworthy legal victories on behalf of his clients. He helped lead the fight to equalize salaries for black and white teachers and was instrumental in foregoing a compromise between protests and county government over the lack of blacks to serve on local juries. Judge Thomas' contribution to his community.
Mrs. Eugenia B. Thomas continues to be active in her community and involved in just causes. Her dedication and community work, especially her work on behalf of children, has been honored through the naming of the Eugenia B. Thomas Elementary School in the City of Doral (Miami). (source)

Elastoresistance Effect in Iron Single Crystals33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728867View Description Hide Description
The potentiometer circuit designed for measuring minute variations in small resistances developed by P. W. Bridgman has been used to measure the effect of tension, applied in a direction parallel to that of the current, on the resistance of ironsingle crystals (elastoresistance). Correction for strain permitted the calculation of the more informative physical characteristic, the elastoresistivity. In order to obtain at least an indication of the expected anisotropy of elastoresistivity, two single crystals of different orientations were investigated. Deformation temperatures of +30° and −78°C were used to observe the effect of temperature on the (relative) elastoresistivity. The increase in Δρ/ρ with decreasing temperature was larger than anticipated. The elastoresistivity and elastoresistance showed considerable anisotropy.
Comparison of the Size of Spherical Particles of Iron, Cobalt, and Alloys of Iron‐Cobalt in Mercury as Determined by Various Methods33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728868View Description Hide Description
The sizes of particles prepared in mercury with diameters less than about 3000 Å were determined by electron microscope examination, analysis of the magnetization curve, calculation from the temperature dependence of magnetic remanence,tinadsorption, and analysis of their growth kinetics. The results of the various methods were found to be in reasonable agreement.
Scattering of Light by Polymer Films Possessing Correlated Orientation Fluctuations33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728869View Description Hide Description
A theory for the scattering of light from a film of a polymer possessing randomly correlated oriented fluctuations of anisotropic elements is presented. The case for the film possessing both density and orientation fluctuations is considered. It is shown that one can separate these contributions from measurements obtained using polarized light. The consequences of non‐randomly correlated fluctuations are qualitatively considered.
Internal Friction in Al‐Cu Alloy33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728870View Description Hide Description
Measurements of the internal friction in pure Al and two aluminium alloys with 2 and 2.95 wt % Cu were made using a torsional pendulum. With solution‐treated and quenched alloys a weak internal friction peak (peak I) was obtained at the same temperature range at which grain boundary relaxation occurred in pure Al. The peaks disappeared after a few minutes of aging due to the blocking of grain boundary relaxation on precipitation. The activation energyH corresponding to this peak is 32±1 kcal/mole for both the 2 and 2.95% alloys. A grain boundary peak also appeared in furance‐cooled 2% alloy with H = 31±1 kcal/mole, but instead of a peak an inflexion point appeared in 2.95% alloy. For pure Al,H = 32.4 kcal/mole was obtained. Due to re‐solution of the precipitates at higher temperatures another strong internal friction peak (peak II) appeared a few degrees below the solubilitytemperatures for both the alloys. The position of the peak is insensitive to the frequency of measurements but the peak height decreases on increasing the frequency. From the rigidity modulus measurements the solubilitytemperatures for the 2 and 2.95 wt % Cu in Al are obtained and are found to be in good agreement with previous results. An internal friction peak due to Zener relaxation, however, has not been observed in these alloys.
Dependence of the Thermoelectric Figure of Merit on Energy Bandwidth33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728871View Description Hide Description
The thermoelectric figure of merit Tz of a semiconductor is calculated as a function of the width of the conduction band. It is found that Tz approaches zero as the bandwidth goes to zero. The existence of an optimum bandwidth is established; however, the magnitude cannot be ascertained on the basis of the simple model used here.
Calculation of Averages for Primary Recoil Distributions33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728872View Description Hide Description
The slowing down of an energetic particle in a random assembly of scattering centers is discussed. Certain averages for physically interesting quantities can be calculated in a very general form, including unequal masses of scattering and slowing down particles. The averages refer to quantities such as the total distance traveled (L) and the vector distance to the final positions (xi ) and powers thereof. Two assumptions simplify the evaluation of the general results considerably: (α) The mean free path λ is a simple power of the energy E: λ(E)∼Eμ ; (β) the distribution g(E; ε) of energies ε after one collision with initial energy E does not change its shape with E: Eg (E; ε)=κ(ε/E). A special distribution of this kind is the hard core distribution. Under assumptions α and β all calculations are reduced to the evaluation of an integral like ∫κ(η)ημ dη. For equal masses and the hard core distribution, one can easily calculate averages of any power of L and obtain the distribution function of L, this being proportional to L 1/μ exp(−L/λ). Under the assumption β alone, with arbitrary λ(E), results are given for special distributions and equal masses (including the hard core distribution). The evaluation of the averages now requires simple integrals over λ for linear averages and double integrals for quadratic averages with known integral kernels. For unequal masses, approximations are discussed.
Diffraction of Spherical Scalar and Vector Waves at Axial Points of a Circular Aperture and Disk33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728873View Description Hide Description
The following work treats Kottler's saltus problem of diffraction of electromagnetic waves emitted by a Hertzian oscillator source and the analogous Kirchhoff's scalar problem of waves emitted by a point source. The medium is a homogeneous isotropic dielectric. In the vector case a new exact solution of the basic integrals is presented, at axial points only, (a) behind a circular aperture in a ``black'' screen, and (b) behind its complementary ``black'' disk. The relative time‐averaged intensity of energy flow is plotted for the disk only. It is shown that the scalar theory predicts considerably larger values than the electromagnetic theory for identical geometrical dispositions.
Electrical Conduction and the Photovoltaic Effect in Semiconductors with Position‐Dependent Band Gaps33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728874View Description Hide Description
The semiphenomenological transport equations that are commonly used in the theory of semiconductors have been rewritten in variables appropriate to the discussion of an illuminated isothermal semiconductor in which the band gap is a linear function of one of the position coordinates. It has been found necessary to neglect those terms in the transport equations that arise from variations in mobility and effective mass. The first section considers electrical conduction in a uniformly doped specimen under weak illumination; deviations from Ohm's law were found to be small. In the second section, the potential distribution in a highly illuminated sample of such material, both with and without a junction present, is found. The major contribution to the total potential is the same as that found earlier by Tauc. These results are then used to determine the best geometry for a solar‐energy converter in which such materials are used, and to calculate the efficiency of this converter as a function of illumination. The greatest efficiency possible was found to be 43%.
Point Defect Trapping in Crystal Growth33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728875View Description Hide Description
The possibility of trapping significant quantities of point defects during growth of a crystal is considered. Calculations are based on the well‐established theory of growth from the vapor on vicinal surfaces and the results are applied approximately to more complex cases. Concentrations of point defects, either above or below equilibrium, can be trapped under some conditions. In most cases the effect is insignificant. The crucial characteristic of a growth condition is defined by the dimensionless parameter Dv /Rd where Dv is the bulk diffusion coefficient for point defects(vacancies),R is the growth rate, and d is the ``effective thickness'' of the surface. The value of d is about 1 atom layer in most cases, but may be greater at solid‐melt interfaces. Large supersaturations of point defects may be trapped if Dv /Rd is small. For very large values of Dv /Rd, subsaturation concentrations of vacancies may be trapped. Growth trapping accounts for the loss of dislocations from metal whisker crystals during growth and may support a simple explanation of some substructure formation during solidification of pure single crystals.
On the Theory of Monolayer Evaporation33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728876View Description Hide Description
A theory of evaporation of a monolayer is here presented in which the evaporation of individual atoms, without interaction, is treated by statistical methods and in which the effect of interactions between atoms when the coverage is finite is treated by the thermodynamic reasoning developed by Langmuir. By combining these two approaches an expression is obtained which has, formally, only one adjustable constant, namely, the binding energy at zero coverage. The types of interactions taken into account are (following Langmuir): (a) finite size of surface atoms, and (b) dipole repulsion. Values of dipole moment are derived from thermionic emission. Assumptions have to be made regarding the partition functions relating to a surface atom. On the assumption that the only energy states available to a surface atom are those of translation parallel to the surface, agreement within the spread of currently available data for thorium on tungsten is obtained by using a binding energy at zero coverage of 7.61 ev. More precise data are required for determination of whether there must be some other and more complete specification of the partition functions for surface atoms.
Plasma Waveguides as Low Loss Structures33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728877View Description Hide Description
The dispersion relation for propagation of an electromagnetic wave between two semi‐infinite slabs of plasma is found under the assumption of infinite magnetic field along the slabs. Provided the plasma frequency is above the applied frequency, a fast wave solution exists, with a sinusoidal field distribution in the free‐space region between the plasma slabs, and exponential decay into the slabs. A complex plasma frequency is introduced to account for collision losses in the plasma, and substituting this complex plasma frequency into the dispersion relationship, the attenuation constant of the wave is found. The imaginary part of the plasma frequency is computed from collision theory and found to give damping considerably smaller than that obtained with metal guides. An application to high‐field linear accelerators is treated in detail.
Filamentary Standing‐Wave Pattern in a Solid‐State Maser33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728878View Description Hide Description
The filamentary maser action in a ruby is explained as caused by minute randomly distributed variations in index of refraction. Relations are derived for the density of filaments and their size in terms of a Fourier resolution of the inhomogeneities. These are so small that it seemed that thermal motion might play a part, but this is shown to be orders of magnitude too small at room temperature.
Magnetic Field Reversal by Relativistic Electrons Which Slow Down While Circulating in a Uniform Impressed Magnetic Field33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728879View Description Hide Description
The prior restriction to conservative motion of the electrons has been removed, but scattering has still been neglected. The rate of energy loss has been used to derive the stationary distribution over a range of energy (or momentum) and canonical angular momentum for an arbitrary magnetic field distribution. A necessary ingredient is the retardation of the electrons; the radiative component of this has been estimated, but not included; the dynamical friction component, arising from motion through a uniform, fully ionized plasma, has been used as the sole contributor to energy loss. This friction also affects the canonical angular momentum and the latter's change in one cycle relative to the energy change has been formulated. Maxwell's equation connecting magnetic field with current density, applied to the stationary distribution, has permitted the formulation of the relation between field and the other variables. This completes the number of relations required to determine the magnetic field (eigenfunction) arising from a given rate of electron injection (eigenvalue): The trajectory equations have been derived.
It has been necessary to picture physically the complete evolution of a trajectory from injection to stopping, both to understand what the mathematics says and to devise an adequate machine program. When field reversal occurs, then just before the electrons die, the electron swarm divides into two counter‐rotating eddies. Two iterative solution techniques have been used to calculate the field distributions for a range of initial energies, field strengths, and injection rates. A striking result is that once reversal of field occurs by increasing the injection rate, it is generally true that the reversed field varies little, but the layer becomes progressively thinner as the injection rate increases further. At some rate the layer thickness passes through zero and thereafter the injection radius lies not at the apocenter of the initial trajectory but at the pericenter, the layer protruding from its prior position.
For full‐energy radii of gyration which are less than about one‐third the injection radius, anomaolus solutions appear which are unstable. A number of aspects of the problem of incorporating an E layer into a thermonuclear device are briefly discussed, namely, the effect of scattering, the possibility of two‐beam instability, the injection of the electrons, effects of end reflection in a finite‐length layer, electrodynamic effects, and plasma diamagnetism.
Tunnel Emission into Vacuum33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728880View Description Hide Description
Tunnel emission into vacuum is obtained from thin‐film sandwiches of (a) aluminum‐alumina‐aluminum and (b) aluminum‐alumina‐platinum. The alumina layer is made by oxidizing an evaporated film of aluminum in air. Cesium processing, to lower the work function, results in an increase of emission of five orders of magnitude.
Etch‐Tunnels in Lithium Fluoride Crystals33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728881View Description Hide Description
The dissolution and growth behavior of lithium fluoride crystals in aqueous solutions containing long‐chain fatty acids as step‐poisons has been investigated. Both positive crystals (whiskers and platelets) and negative crystals (etch‐tunnels) can be grown, respectively, from supersaturated and undersaturated solutions of lithium fluoride containing identical concentrations of stearic acid (∼2×10−6 N). Dissolution behavior in stagnant environments is of particular interest for etch‐tunnels some 0.5 μ in diameter and more than 100 μ in length (negative whiskers) have been observed. Two types of etch‐tunnel can be distinguished; those nucleated at a surface defect—such as a cleavage step or the point of emergence of a dislocation (D type)—and those nucleated at apparently random points on the crystal surface (R type). Metallographic observations reveal that dislocations are not essential to negative crystal growth and it is proposed that tunnels grow simply because dissolution is less efficiently inhibited at the end of a tunnel than at the external surface of the crystal. This is a consequence of the reduced number of poison molecules available to inhibit kink and step motion at the end of a tunnel because of their slow rate of diffusion in a stagnant environment. Vigorous agitation of the environment suppresses etch‐tunnel formation.
Behavior of Manganese in GaAs33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728882View Description Hide Description
Hall measurements on manganese‐doped gallium arsenide reveal a single acceptor level for this impurity with an ionization energy of 0.1 ev. The ionization energy and segregation coefficient, ks =0.05, appear to be independent of concentration over the range NA =6×1017−1×1020/cm3.
Control of Population Inversion in Pulsed Optical Masers by Feedback Modulation33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728883View Description Hide Description
The output power level of an optical maser is dependent on the level of inversion which can be reached. Using a technique in which the optical feedback is modulated by a shutter disk, an enhancement of the output power level of a pulsed ruby optical maser was observed. The higher level of output power occurred for only a short pulse. An explanation is given and the observed effect compared to the expected value.
Sputtering of Gold by Low Energy Inert Gas Ions33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728884View Description Hide Description
The sputtering yield of gold bombarded by low energy (20–100 ev) helium, neon, and argon ions has been measured by the increase in electrical resistance of a thin goldfilm. It has been shown that for neon and argon the yield decreases rapidly with decreasing ion energy from 100 to 40 ev; below 40 ev the decrease is less rapid and no definite threshold has been found. With 40‐ev neon ions the yield is proportional to the ion current density, but with argon ions of this energy the yield is independent of the current: For currents greater than 100 μa/cm2 neon is more efficient than argon in sputteringgold. To explain the variation of yield with ion current for low energy neon ions it is suggested that the sputtering may take place by a two‐stage process: the first stage being the creation of defects in the gold by the ions, and the second stage, ejection of gold atoms from the neighborhood of these defects.
A Technique for Pulling Single Crystals of Volatile Materials33(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1728885View Description Hide Description
A technique has been developed to pull single crystals of volatile materials using standard pulling apparatus. This has been accomplished by covering the surface of the material to be pulled with a substance that is liquid at the pulling temperature.

The spatial distribution of atoms ejected from low index planes of Cu, Ni, Au, Al, Ge, and Si have been studied for bombardment by Hg+, Ne+, and Ar+ ions of energies up to 800 ev. In addition, the atom ejection for Hg+‐ion bombardment of various Ge planes (12° apart) belonging to the [110] zone has been investigated in detail. For the fcc crystals, ejection was observed in 〈110〉 directions at all energies, in〈100〉 directions at higher energies, and in 〈411〉 directions under certain conditions. The ejection in the 〈110〉 and 〈100〉 directions are interpreted to be the result of focusons intercepting the surface with sufficient energy to cause a surface atom to be ejected. It is shown that a reasonable interpretation of the atom ejection in 〈411〉 directions is that a 〈110〉 focuson may intercept and eject a surface atom which is in a twin position rather than a normal position. For ion bombardment of Ge and Si atom ejection is observed in 〈111〉 and 〈100〉 directions. A possible interpretation is that many of the natural interstitial positions are filled near the surface as a result of the bombardment and that the structure resembles more that of a bcc structure. The systematic deviation in ejection directions from the associated crystallographic direction observed for the Hg+‐ion bombardment of various Gesurfaces suggests that the atomic collisions resulting in atom ejection for Ge and Si occur in the outer few surface layers.

During the Portales City Council meeting Tuesday at City Hall, councilors:
• Acknowledged the service of outgoing Councilors Robert De Los Santos and Shawn Watson and outgoing Mayor Orlando Ortega Jr.
• Heard a proclamation from Ortega naming March 13 as "Great American Clean Up Day." The local cleanup is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. March 13 at the Memorial Building, and is open to the public.
• Approved the Recreation Advisory Board Strategic Plan. The plan prioritizes getting a teen center, adults sports programming, youth baseball, a partnership with Eastern New Mexico University, practice fields and a camera system at the Recreation Center.
• Passed a resolution allowing the submission of a grant application for money for Portales Municipal Airport.
• Approved a Special Use Permit to allow package liquor sales at the Stripes convenience store at the corner of Avenue D and 18th Street. Planning Director Sammy Standefer said store representatives must return to city government for a liquor license after receiving the permit. The area is already zoned for liquor sales, and the license would be transferred in from out of town, he said.

MC community service students do a great job
Marietta College community service efforts never cease to amaze. For the second year, students working with (Marietta) Tree Commission members mulched the trees in Sacra Via Park. Maddi Royer led the team of Kiki Cunningham, Montana Green, Amy Kauffman, Jennifer Rohrig, Xin An, Ruzhen Man, Meredith Schuver, Lindsey Schrock, and Kali Hastings. The trees will benefit from their efforts. Shaylyn Allen and her team of Emily Mason, Brittany Truex, Misty Hussing, Lana Mocas, Hannah Steketee, Elle Sage, Karlee Bates, Amanda Barbee, Danie Brodie, Cassie Wint and Heather Eichner continued the tradition of placing wood chips on the trails at Kroger Wetland under the guidance of Cathy Schafer and Becky Wright. This insures that this natural area will be easier to walk for visitors and residents alike to enjoy the flowers and wildlife. Marietta benefits immeasurably from this strong culture of service.
