Earlier this year the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters wrote to the ABSW to offer a travel scholarship to a British science journalist to visit Oslo for the Abel Prize. After calling for applications to from our members, ABSW member Tim Revell was selected and awarded the scholarship.
Tim had a great experience, made many new contacts, and whilst in Oslo produced a radio piece for the Naked Scientists, which was broadcast on BBC 5Live, Talk Radio Europe, and on RN in Australia, NZ, and South Africa, as well as being downloadable as a podcast here:
Here is Tim's report:
On 24th May Sir Andrew Wiles was awarded the Abel Prize for "his stunning proof of Fermat's Last Theorem", and thanks to a scholarship from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, I was able to attend the ceremony.
The story begins 350 years ago, when French mathematician Pierre de Fermat was working through his favourite maths book. He came across a problem that made him start to thinking about square numbers and how to split them up. For example, 25 is a square number because it is 5 × 5. But 25 can also be split up into to two smaller square numbers, 16, which is 4 squared, and 9 which is 3 squared, that when added together give back 25.
52 = 42 + 32
Carrying on this thought, Fermat wondered if cube numbers could be split into two cubes, or fourth powers split into two other fourth powers, but he could never find an example. Instead he declared that for any power higher than squares this type of number split was impossible.
Fermat's Last Theorem
zn ≠ yn + xn, for n ≥ 3
But then Fermat died. His proof was never found and over the years proved pretty difficult to reconstruct. It took over three centuries and thousands of different attempts, but in 1994 after working in complete solitude for seven years, Wiles was able to finally prove the theorem.
Since then Wiles has become probably the world's most famous (living) mathematician. He's won all sorts of prizes for his work and now he has an Abel prize, along with a £500k cheque, for his trophy cabinet as well.
Sir Andrew Wiles' story has been a source of inspiration for many mathematicians including myself and so getting the opportunity to meet him at the ceremony was a boyhood dream fulfilled. Whilst in Oslo I was able to interview Wiles for a Naked Scientists radio piece, which you can listen to here: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/interviews/interview/1001867/
For further opportunities for ABSW members do ensure you sign up to ABSW-L (our google group - email discussion group) as this is the first place that we announce jobs/scholarships and other opportunities to our members.
A new online platform that changes the way in-depth articles are produced has recently been launched called Contributoria.com. Here, its editor Sarah Hartley explains how science writers could benefit from the new development which is being backed by the Guardian Media Group.
Already dubbed the love child of Medium and Kickstarter, the new platform Contributoria.com is looking to change the way long form pieces of journalism are produced by using the particular qualities digital technologies have allowed for.
Put simply it allows members of the site to back pieces of work that have been proposed via the online site - in effect taking the role of commissioning editors out to the crowd, putting decision making into the hands of a community of people who care about the topics.
In a recent interview with Gigaom [http://gigaom.com/2014/01/08/contributorias-founders-talk-about-why-they-are-building-an-open-community-for-crowdfunding-journalism/ ], co-founder Matt McAlister explained how the initiative had evolved.
"We're trying to put some transparency around the journalism process — the core premise being around collaboration with your peers, with other writers — and the mechanisms and the processes that journalists operate by. We wanted to create a platform that just sort of opened that up, so any number of people in the community could participate in it openly."
The team behind the platform has a varied experience in digital publishing going back over many years. I'm an active multimedia journalist and blogger and previously worked for more than a decade at the Guardian Media Group in a variety of senior editorial posts. There's also:
Matt McAlister who develops new businesses at Guardian Media Group. He has been involved in various aspects of the digital publishing ecosystem since 1994 - leading digital arms of print businesses, building platform services at large media companies and creating new digital businesses.
Developer Dan Catt, helped to build Flickr in the early years of Web2.0 and later returned from San Francisco to work at the Guardian to take a sideways look at the data behind the news. He now splits his time between working with data, studying the news and trying to get back to his struggling artist roots.
Together we work with a team of freelance designers and developers and will be continuing to evolve and enhance the platform over the coming months in response to the feedback we get from our members.
The Contributoria.com platform works in a three step process, over three months, to allow for in-depth research and interviews to be carried out by the writers:
Journalists and specialist writers are sometimes wary of working through their ideas in public but the Contributoria.com platform is built in such a way that allows for collaboration with other members who have invested in the production of the article.
There are currently 24 articles being funded (at a cost of more than £7.5k) and worked on by the writers and members which will be published online in an issue, a bit like a magazine, in March. (You can get an idea of the activity here [http://www.contributoria.com/issue/next_issue but the drafts are currently only viewable to members involved in the production.)
Included in the next issue are articles about solar power, biofuels and a look at transcending the Anthropocene in science.
The authors getting involved to date have mostly been professional journalists and published authors and, while the topics proposed by writers will no doubt be as diverse and varied as the writers themselves as the platform matures, it already seems that the long-form nature of the medium does lend itself to specialist areas such as science.
So will you join us? We're giving our members the tools to support the journalism they really want to read, a way to reward the producers of content who are creating what they want to see out there in the world.
New Year's Day saw the most radical update of libel laws in England and Wales for many years. Hailed by charity Sense about Science as a 'new dawn for libel law', writers and journalists hope that the Defamation Act will protect their freedom of speech and combat the growing issue of libel tourism.
Under the new legislation claimants must demonstrate that they have suffered 'serious harm' before suing, making it harder for the powerful to stifle their critics. The Act also specifically protects academic and scientific publications.
Issues concerning antiquated UK libel laws were brought to the notice of the science writing community when Simon Singh's damning – but justified - article about chiropractic for The Guardian prompted the British Chiropractic Association to sue. The subsequent lengthy legal battle became a cause célèbre, kick-starting the Libel Reform Campaign.
Journalist Ben Goldacre has been victim to a similar libel accusation by vitamin-pill manufacturer Matthias Rath, resulting in legal costs in excess of £500,000.
The Libel Reform Campaign sought to highlight UK libel laws 'designed to serve the rich and powerful', and to persuade politicians to bring about 'long overdue' reformations.
Now, it is hoped that the experiences of Singh and Goldacre will not be repeated. Singh described the new Defamation Act as "a great tribute to grassroots activism and all the individuals and groups that lobbied for free speech and against the chilling effect of libel".
However, Northern Ireland is yet to follow suit and only parts of the Act apply to Scotland, creating a potential loophole for libel tourism.
ABSW member Robin McKie won Science and Technology Journalist of the Year at this week's British Journalism Awards.
The judges said: "He goes for the biggest subjects and makes technical issues compelling with his approachable style of writing. They were particularly impressed by his piece on controversial GM crop Golden Rice which it is claimed could save millions for blindness."
The Awards now in their second year, are run by the Press Gazette, lead sponsor is Santander.
BBC2's Newsnight has abolished the role of Science Editor held by the long-serving, award-winning science journalist Susan Watts. This is part of a series of changes to the programme being executed by Newsnight editor Ian Katz.
Watts joined Newsnight in 1995 and has covered many key stories in the programme's history, most notably the BSE crisis, coverage of which won Newsnight a BAFTA award.
Watts tweeted that the decision to close her post was "disappointing, professionally and personally."

Rockers AC/DC have been replaced by dinosaurs of another kind as the highest paid entertainers on the BRW Top 50 Entertainers list, out in BRW today.
Go to BRW Top 50 Entertainers List 2010
Global Creatures, the production company behind the global hit, Walking With Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular, roared into the top spot with revenue of $140 million in 2009-10. Walking With Dinosaurs premiered in 2007, has grossed $350 million in ticket sales and has been seen by an audience of 6.6 million since then. The show uses animatronics to bring prehistoric times to life. Massive dinosaurs, one four storeys high, stomp and chomp their way around arenas. They are based on go-kart chassis and are controlled by virtual puppeteers with remote controls sending electronic signals to the joints of the huge creatures. Global Creatures' number one spot tops off a great year for businessman Gerry Ryan, the firm's majority owner. Ryan, who is the founder and managing director of Jayco Caravans, also won the Melbourne Cup as part owner of Americain.
The rest of the top 10 didn't throw up too many surprises, with Hollywood exports and children's entertainers still earning big bucks. To find out who else made the list, pick up a copy of BRW, out December 2.
Rank | Name | Category | Earnings 2009-10 ($m) | Earnings 2008-09 ($m) (rank) |
1 | Global Creatures | Live production, animatronics | 140.0 | DEBUT |
2 | AC/DC | Music group | 131.4 | 105.0 (1) |
3 | The Wiggles | Children's entertainers | 33.5 | 45.0 (3) |
4 | Hugh Jackman | Actor | 21.5 | 16.0 (7) |
5 | Keith Urban | Musician | 20.0 | 20.0 (5) |
6 | Paul Dainty | Promoter | 15.0 | 3.3 (31) |
7 | Naomi Watts | Actor | 11.9 | 7.0 (15) |
8 | Cate Blanchett | Actor | 10.8 | 15.0 (8) |
9 | Hi-5 | Children's entertainers | 9.7 | 18.0 (6) |
10 | Nicole Kidman | Actor | 9.6 | 11.0 (9) |

Pop diva Kylie Minogue crashed the furthest of the top entertainers this year from second place with $47 million in 2009 to 26th place with $4.9 million but still above sister Dannii whose gigs as a presenter on the British version of the X Factor and Australia's Got Talent contributed to her earnings of $2.8 million. In 2009, Kylie Minogue completed a 49-stop world tour, whereas apart from a few television appearances, she has been quiet this year. She released her 11th album, Aphrodite, in July, so should move back up the ranks again in 2011.
After Global Creatures' spectacular debut in first place, Chris Hemsworth was the next highest newbie, in 23rd spot. BRW readers should ask their teenage daughters to explain who he is. The former Home and Away heart-throb continues a tradition of young Aussie talent doing well in Hollywood. He earned $5.1 million for his parts in Hollywood blockbusters Thor and Red Dawn. His younger brother, Liam, is also making a name for himself in Hollywood for dating teen starlet Miley Cyrus and taking roles in films such as Arabian Nights and The Last Song but did not make BRW Top 50 Entertainers cut off.
Actor Anthony LaPaglia fell off the list, from earnings of $10 million in 2009, after the US crime series Without a Trace, in which he played FBI agent Jack Malone, was cancelled after seven seasons. The series' cancellation also accounted for LaPaglia's co-star, Poppy Montgomery, who made $3.6 million in 2009. LaPaglia took a role in low-budget comedy film Overnight and loaned his voice to an owl in the animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole but it was not enough to get him on the list.
Brisbane twin singing sisters The Veronicas, who earned $2.4 million last year, played some select shows in Japan and England but haven't released a new album since 2007's Hook Me Up, so did not make the cut off.
To find out who else made the list and all the movers and shakers, pick up a copy of BRW, out on December 2.

Am Fam Physician. 2004 Aug 15;70(4):637-638.
CMS Issues Notice Warning Physicians to Protect Medicare Provider Identification Numbers from Fraudulent Employees
While working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the California Benefit Integrity Support Center discovered a fraud scheme. Fraudulent employers offer contracts to physicians for reviewing charts, interpreting tests, or supervising clinical staff and operations. Their goal is to obtain the physician Medicare provider identification numbers (PINs), so they can submit multiple claims for one patient. According to the notice, these fraudulent employers recruit health professionals through residency programs, by word of mouth, or advertisements in newspapers. They offer a percentage or a monthly or annual fee for physician services. In exchange, the physicians are asked to sign a contract allowing the use of the physician's PIN and making the physician the billing provider for the clinic. Another option is opening a joint bank account for Medicare reimbursements to which the fraudulent employer has direct access. CMS will demand repayment from the physician for fraudulent claims on that PIN, and the physician could be prosecuted for fraud. More information is available online athttp://www.aafp.org/x28200.xml. Information about Medicare fraud, tips for recognizing it, and ways of reporting it are provided by CMS online athttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/fraud.
Veterans Returning from Combat Zones Rely on Family Physicians for Mental Health Screening
In July, New England Journal of Medicine published an article with the results from a survey of more than 6,000 troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the article, combat veterans, particularly those returning from Iraq, have significantly higher rates of mental illness than their noncombat colleagues or the general public. At highest risk for major depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorders are soldiers who were wounded, handled bodies, killed enemy combatants, or knew someone who was killed. Barriers to mental health care and concern about stigma prevented many military personnel from getting help. The article recommends that family physicians routinely screen combat veterans for mental illness and increase the use of primary care clinics for mental health services. The study is available online athttp://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/351/1/13. More information on helping military personnel is available online athttp://www.aafp.org/fpr/20040600/10.html andhttp://www.aafp.org/fpr/20040600/11.html.
AAFP, CDC, and Others Recommend Increasing Number of Doses of Pediatric Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine
In July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that physicians increase the number of doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered to healthy children from two to three, and continue to give the full four-dose series to children up to 15 months of age who have chronic conditions, such as sickle cell anemia or immune system disorders. The groups said the fourth dose of the vaccine in healthy children should be deferred until production and supplies are adequate. In February 2004, the CDC recommended suspension of the fourth dose of the vaccine when the manufacturer reported it would not be able to produce enough to meet demand. In March, the CDC recommended the third dose also be withheld because supplies of the vaccine would be low for several months. The groups recommend a catch-up schedule for children who missed the third dose. The highest priority is for children at high risk for invasive pneumococcal disease; second priority is children younger than 24 months who have not received any doses of the vaccine; and third priority is children younger than 12 months who have not received three doses of vaccine. More information is available online athttp://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/r040708.htm andhttp://www.cdc.gov/nip/news/shortages/. For the AAFP policy on the recommendation, go tohttp://www.aafp.org/x1556.xml.
AAFP Supports New Legislation that Includes Care Management Fee
The AAFP supports the Geriatric and Chronic Care Management Act introduced by Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.). The legislation authorizes payment for geriatric assessment and care management for Medicare beneficiaries, which incorporates elements of the care management fee concept advocated by the AAFP. The concept proposes that a fee be paid to the patient's personal physician to coordinate the patient's health care, including tracking and monitoring all aspects of care; referring the patient to other health care professionals and coordinating clinical reports; maintaining the patient's health record; and spending more time with the patient as needed. This fee would be paid per-patient-per-month by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance plans as appropriate. Making the care management fee part of the reimbursement system would ensure that these services are available to everyone and not exclusive to those who can afford to pay more for health care. More information is available online athttp://www.aafp.org/x28401.xml. To read the bill, go tohttp://thomas.loc.gov and type S.2593 in the Bill Number search box.
NHLBI Updates Cholesterol Guidelines for Higher-Risk Patients
In July, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) updated the National Cholesterol Education Program's (NCEP's) clinical practice guidelines on cholesterol management. The update advises physicians to consider new, more intensive treatment options for patients at high and moderately high risk for a heart attack, including setting lower treatment goals for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and starting cholesterol-lowering drug therapy at lower LDL levels. For high-risk patients, the LDL goal remains less than 100 mg per dL. For patients at very high risk, the goal is less than 70 mg per dL. The update was endorsed by the American Heart Association (AHA), the NHLBI, and the American College of Cardiology. NHLBI coordinates the NCEP. The complete report was published in the July 13 issue of Circulation, the journal of the AHA. Updated guidelines and related resources are available online athttp://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/cholesterol/index.htm. Additional information is available online athttp://www.nih.gov/news/pr/jul2004/nhlbi-12.htm.

Amidst all the holiday stuff, it's easy to forget that a mere six days after Christmas comes good ol' New Years Eve! Every year I hear myself telling someone that this is the year I'm going to go with the proverbial flow and not worry about what I'm doing that night, but every year around this time I start asking everyone what their plans are, sharpening my glitter eyeliner pencil, wondering what time I have work on New Years Day, etc. And in the grand scheme of relatively pointless holidays that we celebrate, it sincerely does make sense to me that this one should be celebrated wholeheartedly. What better way to bring in the New Year then surrounded by friends and family in a fancy outfit with a whole lot of booze?
Here are some crucial NYE props sure to provide a party-centric night.
Dot a Hold On Me Dress (via Modcloth)
My wardrobe is relatively dress-centric as is, but there are definitely certain times that I want to up my dress game a little bit without going all out. I love that this dress is on the casual side of formal, but could totally get played up with the right shoes. Plus it'll look just as sweet under a wool sweater and a huge coat, which is My Life For the Next 5 1/2 months.
Mason Jar Sippers (via Butter Home)
These super cute mason jars would be perfect to fill with a lil' bubbly. Bonus points for the equally precious paper straws, sold separately.
Leopard print nail decals (via Pretty Girly Girl)
I was born a nail biter and will (probably) die a nail biter so generally speaking any attempt at sprucing up my nails is a total waste of time, but I LOVE how these nail decals look and virtually see them everywhere. Stick em on and party hard!
Vivi Dot Necklace (via Vivi Dot, duh)
Molly came up with these hand painted designs a few weeks ago and I am FREAKING OUT over them. If there's a better way to add a little last minute oomph to an outfit, I'd like to hear it.
What are your crucial NYE party accessories this year?

Reebok Boots: Men's RB6766 Trainex EH Waterproof Composite Toe Boots
If you're like most Working Men, you have to wear a lot of hats during any (and every) workday. You're part coach, part team player, part psychiatrist (sure, we know about that depressed guy in the break room) and always on the move. When you have a lot of roles to fill, you need work boots as versatile as you. You need Reebok Men's Brown RB6766 Trainex EH Waterproof Composite Toe Boots.
The sporty, 6-inch uppers of these Reebok boots are made with water-resisting Crazy Horse brown leather. The material extends right up to the ankles to surround your feet entirely in flexible comfort and bendable softness. Leather knows how to move and adjust, just like your feet. It's durable against wear and tear and becomes even better with age. As time passes, leather develops a patina that looks even more attractive than brand-new work boots.
Either way, the waterproof membranes of these composite toe boots will keep working to keep you dry. They block moisture, so even Nature won't get in your way. Abrasion-resistant nylon mesh material lines the inside of these men's boots. The material withstands friction, and it's durable despite its light weight and thinness. Mesh material releases heat, so you'll stay cooler and less sweaty.
Remove the EVA foam cushion inserts out of these non-metallic boots any time to clean them. But put them back in before you go back to work because you'll want to enjoy the comfortable softness. Sponge rubber heel wedges are built right into the inserts to absorb heel strike force. This is where your feet suffer from the most impact, so this is just where you need the most shock-absorption.
The outsoles of these safety toe boots are built in a dual-density design that gives you two layers of protection. Polyurethane cushioning in the midsole layer creates impact-resistant softness. Polyurethane is lighter in weight than rubber, but it absorbs more force. The bottom of the outsoles of these Trainex boots is shock-resistant rubber that's designed to give you tough traction when you wear these waterproof boots. The 90-degree heels allow you to get a better grip on ladder rungs when you wear these EH boots.
Aircom heel airbags are built right into the soles to cushion your feet with the power of air. To keep you even safer, the soles of these slip-resistant boots are rated for EH protection. They absorb danger from electrical hazards. While the soles absorb harmful electricity, the composite toes absorb damaging impact and compression. Non-metallic composite weighs less than steel and won't conduct electricity like metal, but it does protect your steps. The toes meet ASTM F2413-05 protective standards to keep feet safe in these Reebok boots.
The entire design is 100% non-metallic and security-friendly. They're also friendly on your feet, in so many ways. There are so many reasons to try Reebok Brown RB6766 Trainex EH Waterproof Composite Toe Men's Boots, but instead of listing them all we'd rather let you try them for yourself.

There he was, just as his victims looked on his own television screens, his words censored, his arguments unknown, his case as undemocratic as the "judicial" courts in which Saddam destroyed his own enemies.
The Iraqis – or, let us speak frankly, the Americans who tried to censor the old reprobate's previous court appearance – decided yesterday that his words would also be censored. This is how Saddam ran Iraq.
The words were obliterated. And now the Americans and their obedient, Shia-led government, are acting out the same Saddamite line.
The pictures, the BBC admitted, were "mute". What in God's name did this mean? Who emasculated the BBC to such a degree that it should say such a ridiculous thing? Why were they mute? The BBC didn't tell us.
If Saddam was really being charged with war crimes over the killings of Shias – which I hope he was – then why, in heavens name, didn't we hear what he had to say? Why use the methods of Saddam himself? The silent film, the assumption of guilt? Or was Saddam telling the court that the United States was behind his regime, that Washington had given him the means to destroy the Halabja Kurds with gas?
How can we know? And when so many of our journalistic brethren failed to challenge the reason why this tape should be "mute", what does this say of us? We are told, by Saddam's jailers of course, that he is being questioned about the murder of Shia villagers south of Baghdad in 1982. I hope so. But how do we know?
The reality is that Saddam is from Iraq's past, something from the era before "our" insecurity and destruction and the rape and insurgency and death which has now overwhelmed Iraq.
Yes, there are those who would like to see Saddam brought to justice. But they want safety and law and order and freedom – freedom from us, too – before they care about this crazed old man's trial. But we insist the Iraqis have bread and circuses before they have freedom. And they must experience our democracy by understanding that the defendant in a court must be shut up and denied his own words in order to appear on the BBC.
Rixon Stewart – June 14, 2005
This writer would suggest that his court appearance was broadcast without sound because man in the dock was not Saddam Hussein but one of his many doubles.
Previously, the real Saddam had employed the services of a small band of look-a-likes to thwart potential assassination attempts. And there are many indications that the man, or should that be men, currently facing the Tribunal is one such. From his dental work – see photo below – to stories of the real Saddam flying out of Iraq at the beginning of the Coalition assault, to the fact that his wife could not recognise him when she visited her husband to reports of Saddam being given safe haven in Belarus, there are numerous stories which cast doubt on the line that the real Saddam Hussein is still in Iraq. Or indeed that the man the authorities claim is Saddam is actually the genuine article.
Which may also explain why this particular court appearance was broadcast without the sound of him speaking. Because if the man in the dock was not the real Saddam but one of his many doubles, then although he might look like Saddam Hussein, he might not actually sound like him. Or, at least, there might be enough of a difference to make people look again at the man the authorites claim is Saddam. Hence the Coalition's decision to play it safe and broadcast his court appearance without sound.

ARLINGTON, Texas, June 7 (UPI) -- More than 60,000 Texas football and country music fans have inaugurated the new $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, team officials say.
A concert by country music star George Strait Saturday was the first event for the retractable roof stadium, which will become the NFL team's new home in the upcoming season, replacing Texas Stadium in nearby Irving, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported.
Fans gawked at the expansive facility's giant video boards while Cowboys owner Jerry Jones signed autographs from his owners box on the 50-yard line, accompanied by former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, the newspaper said.
The stadium's roof was opened before the concert, giving fans an opportunity to see the massive structure in action.
"It's a culmination of a lot of hard work," Jerry Jones Jr., the Cowboys owner's son, told reporters. "Our biggest challenge for this project was to meet our fans' expectations. Walking around, I see a lot of smiles."
Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck told the Star-Telegram the stadium "will be a wonder of the world."

Southwest Climate Outlook May 2014
Precipitation: An active jet stream has brought several moisture-starved storms into the Southwest in the last 30 days, delivering windy conditions but little rain. While dry conditions are normal during this time of year, most of the Southwest has received less than 50 percent of average precipitation since April 15.
Temperature: Temperatures in the last 30 days were mostly below average in Arizona and New Mexico except in southwest Arizona, where temperatures were above average. Below-average temperatures across the Southwest were caused in part by several moisture-starved storms wafting in from colder, northern regions.
Snowpack: Snowpacks have melted in nearly all of Arizona and New Mexico. In the Colorado portion of the Upper Colorado River Basin, several storms—the same ones that delivered windy conditions to the Southwest—boosted snowpacks; that area has also received above-average precipitation since January 1. On the other hand, below-average snowpacks are present in the Rio Grande headwaters; precipitation there has been mostly below average since January 1.
Water Supply: Total reservoir storage decreased by about 380,600 acre-feet in Arizona in April; Lake Mead fell by about 648,000 acre-feet. Storage stands at 44 percent of capacity in Arizona and is lower than it was one year ago. In New Mexico, storage increased by 50,300 acre-feet in April. Storage is at 24 percent of capacity and is greater than it was one year ago.
Drought: Drought conditions intensified in some regions of Arizona and New Mexico. Moderate drought expanded in southwest Arizona and severe drought expanded in central New Mexico. In northeastern New Mexico, extreme drought deteriorated into exceptional drought. Compared to one year ago, drought conditions are similar in Arizona and less intense in New Mexico.
ENSO: Sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions continue to indicate the likelihood that an El Niño event will form.There is greater than a 60 percent chance that an El Niño will develop during the summer.
Precipitation Forecasts: The NOAA-Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is calling for slightly increased chances for above-average precipitation across the Four Corners region during the June–August period. While many dynamical models simulate increased precipitation in the monsoon region, El Niño in the past has been associated with weaker early monsoon activity. These mixed signals cause greater uncertainty in the monsoon region.
Temperature Forecasts: The CPC forecasts high chances for above-average temperatures in the Southwest during the June–August period based on many different signals, including dynamical models and temperature trends.
Fire Forecasts: Above-normal fire potential for the May–June period is focused on central and southeast Arizona and southwest New Mexico west of the Continental Divide. This forecast is based on the presence of drought conditions, the availability of dry fine fuels, the heightened potential for warm and dry conditions, and lightning strikes.

Which Cabinet calculator?
Anyone any suggestions as to an optimum "calculator" (software) for determining cabinet dimensions for drive units?
If non of the freeware programs are ideally suitable then I could (he said sticking his neck out) write a Windows program provided I can find contributors to provide the math (algorithms) if there is sufficient interest in the project. The progam would be freeware and maybe a useful tool for the forum? My contribution as repayment for the assistance I find in this site. Suggestions welcomed. Regards

I know of 3 already available on the web, although I haven't used any of them yet: John Rutter's for TQWP's, Thorsten Loesch's for open baffles, and Martin King's for Mass Loaded Transmission Lines.
I don't know how accurate any one of these are, but I will soon be looking closely at using them for my first speaker project. Martin King's seems most likely to be accurate, based as it is on actual experience and experimentation. The other two I know very little about...

There are a few decent programs out there already, but I prefer my own spreadsheet (which I won't give away) which uses the same sort of model as Unibox. Having written my own, I offer the following opinions on the popular ones out there for the benefit of anyone who wishes to roll their own.
As an Excel spreadsheet, Unibox works well, although it is becoming less user friendly as time wears on and more features are added, IMO. There is just too much stuff on that one page. I see questions on many forums all the time that are due to misuse because people don't understand the user interface. It could be made much better with some user forms for parameter and design entry. Subsim, a standalone program (no other software needed) for those who do not have Excel. It has a few issues with repainting, but does everything you need. Its user interface is a little strange, and parameter entry is especially odd, IMO. It would be a lot easier to use if some of these quirks were worked out. WinISD pro is OK, but there is a long tradition of unfixed bugs in this program and its predecessor. Last I checked, the values it gave for excursion and group delay were wrong. The regular (not pro) version of WinISD uses a simple model and has too many bugs to be useful, IMO.. I wouldn't trust it for anything but the simulated SPL response at 1 watt. The Max SPL and group delay plots, as well as the "vent mach" figure are oversimplified and incorrect, IMO If you want to roll your own software, go to http://www.diysubwoofers.org There you willl find many equations, albeit for a simpler model than the ones used in the simulators above, and even a spreadsheet that may teach you a lot about how these simulators work. The difference in results between the simple and more complex models is not usually significant unless there is a lot of damping material used. The simple models (when implemented correctly) are good enough most of the time.

Thanks to all respondents.
Have tried now Unibox and it seems impressive but concur with Ron E that there is a lot on one spreadsheet and I wonder if I am getting things correct when I start entering information. A quick tutorial on how to use it would be nice. Every driver I have entered thus far (3" to 6" full range) comes back with a recomendation for use in a TL or horn system .... Have also had a look at some of the other alternatives but they are somewhat "messy" and not intuitive IMO. Regards,

Fifth Third Bank has named Charlotte banker Frank Forrest to be its new chief risk and credit officer, the Cincinnati bank said this week.
Forrest has worked at Bank of America here in Charlotte in a number of risk management and commercial banking positions over the past 27 years. Before that, he was a bank examiner at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
In his new role, Forrest will report directly to Fifth Third CEO Kevin Kabat -- making him one of the bank's highest-ranking executives.

ASU fired athletic director Lisa Love today, who formerly was the women's volleyball coach and associate A.D. at USC.
The Sun Devils won 7 NCAA titles during Love's tenure but that proved irrelevant because football languished and basketball was also average. Football's struggles compounded Love's problems because the athletic dept. had problems raising money.
The other issue worth noting is that Love got hired at the height of Pete Carroll's success. So whether or not she was qualified, USC football got her the job. Not really the best way to make a hire.

Two Mercer Greek Organizations Receive National Recognitions
Media Contact: Mark Vanderhoek, (478) 301-4037 or firstname.lastname@example.com
MACON — Two Mercer University chapters of Greek organizations have recently received national recognitions. The Alpha Zeta chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity was recognized as a True Merit Chapter and named one of the top 10 chapters in the nation, and the Beta Sigma chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority received a Maxine Blake Golden Lion Award.
"These chapters exemplify the high standards our student organizations are known for, and we are proud of their achievements," said Cindy Drury, assistant director of campus life. "These chapters are part of two very large organizations and they were competing with chapters from universities across the country. Their efforts have shown what truly separates Mercer students from others."
The True Merit Chapter Award is given to Alpha Tau Omega chapters that demonstrate overall excellence in four major categories: focus, fundamentals, finances and friendship. This was the seventh time that Alpha Zeta has been recognized as a True Merit Chapter in 10 years. The fraternity was chosen as one of the top 10 in the country from more than 120 chapters nationwide. In addition, Alpha Zeta was recognized for excellence in the following categories: pledge education, ritual, financial management, campus involvement and leadership development, recruitment and scholarship. Current Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was a member of the Alpha Zeta chapter when he attended Mercer.
The Beta Sigma chapter received the Maxine Blake Golden Lion Award this summer during the Alpha Delta Pi national convention. The award is the highest honor an Alpha Delta Pi chapter can receive and chapters must meet requirements consecutively for a minimum of six years in order to be eligible to win the award. Criteria cover all aspects of chapter performance, including operations and administration, philanthropy, programming, recruitment and campus involvement. Only 10 percent of Alpha Delta Pi chapters were awarded the Maxine Blake Golden Lion Award.

"My goal in choosing a hotel for this trip was to find one close to downtown at a reasonable price, and this hotel met both of those criteria. No serious complaints, the outside of the hotel and the common areas are nice, and the rooms themselves are okay, not awesome but at least they're clean. ..."

Posts: 17 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: How to replace the timing belt tensioner... Hello , Thank you very much for your artcle. I have a problem with the time belt and since you know so many things about the time belt, i hoped you could help. I had parked my car and removed all the fuses from the fuse box because my car would stay still for three weeks and i did not want it to be stollen. Because of the municipal had decided to make some works in the road my car was moved without me to be informed, in another place. After i came back i have found out that the box which contains the timing belt had oil on it, especially from the screw and its top. Does this tracking of my car could cause a damage to my motor so oil to leak in the timing belt box? This is a big damage and costs to be fixed. If i could prove that the two incidents are connected then i could make an accusation to the state and be compensated. Can you give me any idea that could help me prove that i am right?

There, Aaron discovers a strange, alien species and amazing machines and technology left in a vast underground complex by a mysterious race called the Creators.
Aaron soon falls under the irresistible, seductive spell of Nightsong, a green alien female with ominous and bewitching powers. However, an even greater danger rises. He will be forced to fight for the planet's survival against a ruthless invasion by a fleet of ships seeking to conquer and enslave the planet just as Africa itself was once enslaved. Aaron knows it's a senseless act of beauty to try to reclaim his ancient warrior heritage and fight back against such overwhelming odds, but he also knows he must try.

Go gaga over these must-haves for moms-to-be. Impending motherhood is a feeling like no other, both physically and mentally. As the baby grows and changes through each stage of pregnancy, you go through changes, too - in your body, emotions and lifestyle. As you embark on this life-altering journey, you have roughly 40 weeks to prepare for a happy, healthy newborn.
It's important for you to make good decisions for a healthy baby and a healthy you. Discuss your nutritional needs with your health practitioner. She may recommend adding nutritional supplements to your diet, but you should only do so under your doctor's supervision.
Becoming a mother is one of the most exciting times in a woman's life. By staying fit and healthy, pregnancy can be a truly joyous experience as you nurture the growth of your baby and get ready for birth day. Enjoy every little jab and kick along the way!
**Women who consume healthful diets with adequate folate throughout their childbearing years may reduce their risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord. Sources of folate include fruits, vegetables, whole grain products fortified cereals and dietary supplements.

55 chevy bel-air rear axle swap
I was told that I could put a rear differental from a 1970 to 1981 camaro into my 55 chevy bel-air. I would have to get larger u-bolts and have a bottom plate made to attach the shock. Has anyone done this ? Will the spring perches line up? Are the axles the same length? PLEASE HELP!!!
Sponsored Links | |||
G-Man, you can put the later rear end into your 55 Chevy as you were told. The plates you refered to are to mount the stock springs to. You only have to worry about where to weld the plates and can get the measurements from the old rearend. You will need to ensure you have the same pinion angle. Having said this, the new rearend is about 2 1/2" wider than the 55 so you will have to purchase wheels with the proper backspace so you can fit them into the wheel well. I am not clear about what you are refering to when you ask if the spring perches will line up. I am assuming you are using your 55 springs and are only going to attach the rear end to them.

I have noticed that my jeep does stop much better in the snow when I have the 4wd engaged. Only reason though is my rear drum brakes are pretty shitty so at least when the 4wd is engaged the front brakes help out with stopping the rear.

The front brakes stop all vehicles, the back is just along for moral support, regardless of 2x4 or 4x4.

This is a myth?;).
Nope, I think a little harder in snow and on ice Higher off the ground, weight shifts. But they keep messing with 4 wheel drive vehicles making them lower. |

When 4wd is engaged you cant lock up the brakes on only one axle. There for if you have really shitty brakes on one of your axles the vehicle will stop better in 4wd because the braking power from the good axle is also transferred to the shitty axle. Make sense?
December 8th, 2013, 09:55 PM | #14 |
Master Cocksman
Essentially, since you can't do a brake stand in 4wd, the same must be true for stopping... Is that what you're saying?

Mythbusters, I need your help. Does a 4wd vehicle stop better in the snow?
Pretty much. My jeep has 38.5 x 15 super swamper TSL's that are absolutely terrible on slick roads. For me it is not uncommon at all to lock up the front tires long before the rears. When in 4wd this issue no longer exists and stops much better on slippery conditions. Atleast for my jeep anyways.
In a perfect world where each of the 4 tires are able to apply the maximum amount of braking before locking up and losing traction on an individual bases, 4wd or 2wd would not make any difference in stopping ability. |
December 8th, 2013, 10:51 PM | #16 |
Senior Member
How would this work with a 231 case if you had one. In 4 wheel the drive shafts are locked at the same speed. If front end is locked up the back has to be too also right. Vs. Being in 2wd ?

Senior Member
I'm not sure what in the hell you are saying. However, brakes are cheap, why do you have shitty brakes?
December 8th, 2013, 11:58 PM | #18 |
it can help slow you down but not stop, ice and snow doesn't care how many wheel drive you have, as you slow though if you have all four wheels engaged instead of two without slipping then you have two more wheels for traction thus helping the vehicle to slow down, when only two wheels are engaged then the other two are just rolling away

A wave that will drown the poor
Pat Mooney, Canadian activist on new technologies, outlined some of the extreme technofixes to climate change that Western governments have in the pipeline. According to Mooney, governments realize that the Kyoto Agreement won't work and carbon trading is 'a joke', and think the only solution is to give corporations a free rein to develop new 'geo-engineering' technologies.
These extreme engineering strategies are now possible because we can work at the 'nano-scale' – at the level of the atom. Mooney revealed plans to 'manipulate the ocean's surface to absorb CO2, mitigate against temperature change and divert hurricanes, and pollute the stratosphere to deflect sunlight. Hard as it is to believe, this is actually a serious conversation in places like the White House. By 2015 the US predicts the global nanotech market will be worth $2.6 trillion – about 15 per cent of the entire world economy.'
This is a very risky game. As Mooney puts it: 'Technology strikes humanity like a wave, and drowns the poor. The rich see it coming, and can ride the crest of the wave. We see some waves coming that are extraordinarily dangerous... Corporations are patenting the periodic table, taking ownership of the basic building blocks of everything. Different technologies are now converging, making the pace of change much faster than before... [this] will outstrip the ability of even corporations to keep up.'
Things are changing
Walden Bello from Focus on the Global South in Bangkok argued that if you look at global political trends there is cause for hope. 'I think the crisis of power and direction the US is currently going through will continue. Iraq is impacting on the US ability to intervene in other parts of the world. We will see a worsening of the crisis of multilateral institutions: the IMF is looking for a new role, because developing countries are not going to it any more; the WTO is unravelling and won't recover soon. I hope that corporate power will be increasingly questioned and civil society will create new global institutions that hold governments and multinational corporations to account.'
Just an idealistic dream? Not according to Bello: 'While it is healthy to retain some scepticism about the role of "civil society" today, genuine people's movements are making a very big difference. They have altered the balance of power between empire, neoliberalism and the people. Things are changing. In Latin America: civil society movements have been able to bring governments to power who are open to the kind of changes that reverse corporate power. They are providing lessons on how to bring real participative democracy to our countries.'
Technological totalitarianism
'"Technology" is going to be the most used and abused word of the next decades,' predicted Indian environmental activist Vandana Shiva, outlining a worrying trend. She said that states were increasingly governing by military means in order to take land and other natural resources by force.
'They say it is necessary for technological development, or it is necessary to contain terrorism. But in fact élites and corporations are trying to seize the remaining resources of the poor by any means necessary. Take water privatization: the World Bank is financing the rerouting of entire rivers to suit corporations.'
We have to fight against this 'technological totalitarianism', according to Shiva, and create a 'technological democracy' where what belongs to all of us is treated as a public good.
