So one of my hives swarmed yesterday AM, and landed in an inconvenient place (of course) in a tree approx. 35 ft up and about 40 feet from the original hive. So I took a couple of deeps, threw in some old comb, and a frame of honey and hoisted it in the bucket of my tractor about 10-12 ft up. In the event that they take to it (which, given the interest they've shown, seems like a good possibility), what would be they best way to move this hive? I'd be ok with just lowering the bucket and placing the hive on the ground, but how long should I wait to do that? should I lower it gradually? or can I just move it to my ideal spot ( a few feet away)
Thoughts are appreciated.

text: Hi, I hope someone can help us, we really need help with our mailserver. It looks like someone has managed to get in and use our mail server to send out SPAM. We are a school with apprx. 30 email users. We have been using the ISP's smtp-port. Now they have blocked the smtp port from our school, since a lot of spam was sent out. This means that we can not send mail outside. We have checked everything inside, also turned off everything, all computers, servers the wireless network, just left the mail and webserver on. And through the logs it looks like someone is still trying to send spam. We want to change our smtp so we use our own, not through the ISP's port, so they don't block us anymore. And the other thing is that we have not used authentication for our mails. Please help us!!!!! We don't have much experience in this, the mailserver with Suse and Postfix was set up by someone else 4 years ago. We have SUSE LINUX 10.0 (X86-64) OSS (VERSION = 10.0), postfix = 2.2.5, and ISPConfig Version: 2.2.18.

The debate over whether Hurricanes captain Conrad Smith should take the field this weekend demonstrates the conversation around head injuries has shifted markedly in the space of a season.
Smith, who suffered a heavy knock in the Canes' season-opener last weekend and subsequently failed a pitch-side concussion assessment, has been cleared to play the Reds in Brisbane tomorrow.
We have to trust that the Hurricanes' medical staff and management team have made that decision with only the interests of the midfielder's health in mind.
The great thing is, their decision-making - and that of teams in similar positions - is under more scrutiny than ever due to the improved awareness from the players, fans and public of the dangers concussions pose.
Now their handling of head injuries is being placed under the microscope, teams will need to be careful to ensure their practices are robust.
It is heartening to see that as a result of the growing research into the long-term effects of repetitive concussions, which has yielded terrifying results, and the increased media coverage of the dangers, there has been a noticeable shift in mindset in the way head injuries are viewed.
Discussion on talkback radio yesterday (admittedly not the best barometer of the national mood) centred around return-to-play protocols, and whether the Hurricanes needed to be more conservative in their management of Smith.
The clowns who scoff "they're not playing tiddly-winks out there" (that line hasn't been funny since Tana Umaga said it) thankfully seem to have quietened. But for this shift in mindset we really have to thank those who have had the courage to share their personal stories on what has, for far too long, been considered a taboo subject.
There seems to be a code among footy players that any sign of weakness is not tolerated. The likes of Paul Tito, who was involved with the Herald's Knock-On Effect series last year, and Steve Devine have broken that mould offering compelling testimony of the long-term health risks if you ignore the warning signs.
Head injuries in sport also gained further airing across the Tasman this week, with former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons presenting a story on current affairs show Sunday Night about the long-term impact of repetitive head injuries. The story documented the post-career struggles of two former stars - AFL legend Greg Williams, and former NRL hardman Shaun Valentine. The cameras followed the pair as they underwent cognitive tests, with Williams shown forgetting the middle names of his own children and later being told by a doctor that his brain is exhibiting symptoms usually associated with Parkinson's or stroke.
The story will hopefully make those still trying to sell the virtues of the shoulder charge in league rethink their stance.

UTSA Campus Recreation receives national award
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(March 4, 2009)--If you have visited the UTSA Recreation Center at the 1604 Campus, the immediate reaction to the facility is, "Wow!" And, you're not alone in your reaction --the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) recently honored the center with the 2009 Outstanding Sports Facilities (OSF) Award.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Definitely deserving the award, the UTSA Campus Recreation Center has the highest indoor climbing wall in Texas, four basketball courts, a juice bar, indoor soccer gym, lap pool, lazy river, indoor track and demonstration kitchen. The award is based not only on features, and the criteria are quite tough. Judges evaluate each facility on the intended and actual impact of the recreational program, unique aesthetic or architectural features, innovative construction materials or methods, technological benefits for the customer, and correlation to the campus master plan and mission.
"We are thrilled that the Recreation Center was selected as one of the Outstanding Sports Facilities for 2009," said Campus Rec director Laura Munroe. "We are very proud of our facility and pleased to be recognized by our colleagues as having one of the outstanding facilities built or renovated within the last two years."
Five other schools from across the country also were recognized with the prestigious award. Additional 2009 winners are Colorado School of Mines Student Recreation Center, Springfield College Wellness Center, Stephen F. Austin State University Student Recreation Center, University of Texas-Pan American Recreation and Wellness Center, and University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
NIRSA began presenting the annual OSF awards in 1988 for creative, innovative designs of new or expanded facilities. Winners are considered a standard or model by which other collegiate recreational facilities should be measured and from which others can benefit. NIRSA selects and publishes information on the facilities as a resource for campus master planners, recreational sports directors, designers, architects, contractors and recreational sports students.

You, my young British friend, start a band. You choose a name — something odd, slightly unsettling. Your three-piece practices diligently. Local fame soon gives way to regional fame. Elated, you hear yourself on British radio. You cut a CD and it gets a lot of buzz on American music blogs. Since you're doing well in your home country, you decide to take advantage of the huge US market and go on tour. Your bassist keeps saying you can't get on MTV by playing clubs in Manchester.
You book shows all over the States, buy plane tickets, and apply for a visa, which they say will take 10 weeks. Twenty-two weeks later, you receive only two of three visas when you find out that your drummer has a name similar to that of a possible al Qaeda operative from Qatar, a country to which he's never been. Homeland Security is now on the case, no one in the American government answers your questions, and you wait another month — and hear nothing. You miss your kick-off show in New York, then more shows pass, date by date, and your manager cancels the rest of your tour. You apologize to fans on your MySpace page, comment with thinly veiled hostility about the absurdity of the process, and shake your fist west through the morning rain, cursing the day you ever tried to deal with the dispassionate labyrinth of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
In the past two years, news has come out of the music world with disarming frequency about artists being forced to postpone or cancel shows because of visa troubles. M.I.A, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Amy Winehouse, Klaxons, the Mystery Jets, New Model Army, You Say Party! We Say Die!, and the Young Knives are just a few highly publicized examples of musicians — successful and struggling, popular and unknown — who have tried to brave the system, and failed.
The situation has not passed unnoticed by music writers and bloggers, who tend to respond with hyperbolic outrage. "The front line of America's border system," wrote Spin magazine this past August, "has again spared us citizens the horrors of another evildoer attempting to breach our sacred grounds: Lily Allen." Similarly, Pitchfork Media responded to the visa denial of Canadian duo Handsome Furs, facetiously proclaiming, "Three cheers for the United States, keeping freedom-hating, free-health-care-receiving heathens like Handsome Furs out of our beautiful land."
The problem, of course, is both broader and more nuanced than just musicians trying to get visas — sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. While this story focuses on the plight of overseas musicians and how their problems diminish the US culturally, actors (like Sanjay Dutt of India), filmmakers (like Mahamet-Saleh Haroun of Chad, who missed an April screening of three of his films at Harvard), and student/athletes (like basketball player Bol Kong, originally of Sudan, though he has lived more than half his life in Canada) encounter the same fate. The endgame is that, in the name of making ourselves safer, we may only be further isolating ourselves from a world that already views us with suspicion.

KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR: How Physics and Scientific Thinking Illuminate the Universe and the Modern World. Lisa Randall. xxii + 442 pp. Ecco, 2011. $29.99.
Lisa Randall is a well-known figure both in contemporary physics and in its popularization. Her bold theories about the possible physical significance of conjectured extra dimensions have caught the popular imagination no less than the attention of her colleagues. Her bestselling first book, Warped Passages (2005), is an engaging account of her personal path to the theory of warped geometry in extra dimensions that she and Raman Sundrum proposed in 1999; this is interspersed with an account of modern physics notable for its level of detail and commitment to making complex material accessible to the general reader.
Randall's new book, Knocking on Heaven's Door: How Physics and Scientific Thinking Illuminate the Universe and the Modern World, takes us 10 years past her initial conjectures and in some ways may be even more ambitious. As the subtitle indicates, she wishes to take up larger questions about the nature of scientific thinking, including its relation to religion and its reliance on probability. At the same time, she wishes to bring her audience up to date regarding the status of her theory within the larger ambit of particle physics and cosmology as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) begins its work, a monumental collaboration involving the whole world. (Americans are the largest single nationality involved in its operation, although the United States is not an official member state of CERN, its operating consortium.)
The resulting book is valuable and engaging; like its predecessor, it is a tour de force of popularization. The good part about its wider ambition emerges in Randall's clarification of the exact purport and scope of scientific work. But as she interweaves this with descriptions of theories and experiments, past and present, the reader may feel some tension between her somewhat divergent goals, which work together but also divide the reader's attention and hence lead to organizational challenges.
Randall acknowledges in the preface that Knocking on Heaven's Door is "in some respects . . . two books in one," a statement that portends problems for the unity and cohesive force of the whole. Making a comparison with movie prequels, she says that her new book offers "the origin story to my previous book, Warped Passages, combined with an update of where we are now and what we are anticipating." Sequels and prequels notoriously tend to fall off in quality from the primary story, often becoming derivative collections of outtakes, retakes or scattered postscripts. These problems haunt Randall's book, too.
Fortunately, Knocking on Heaven's Door has compensating strengths that redeem it. Among these, the most notable is Randall's description of the book's implicit protagonist, the LHC itself. The sections about this amazing project are the high point of the book, for the LHC is her unsung hero. She is eloquent in describing its many remarkable features, the narration gaining vividness from her own sense of awe. In part, this stems from the sheer magnitude of the project, for the LHC is the largest, most expensive, altogether most superlative foray into "big science" ever undertaken. Its 27-kilometer-diameter ring connects France and Switzerland; its superconducting magnets generate fields more than 100,000 times stronger than the Earth's, using a cold deeper than that of outer space. I wish the illustrations (which seem too small, given the page space available) could have better conveyed the visual impact she describes with such animation.
These magnitudes are outward emblems of even larger ambitions. The LHC will use its powers to collide protons at energy scales sufficient to probe new realms of subnuclear reality. This behemoth is "a most delicate monster," to borrow a phrase from Shakespeare. Randall goes into admirable depth to explain just how the LHC will detect the fleeting events it generates. Although she is a theorist by profession, Randall also has something of the practical vision and passion of an experimentalist; her close descriptions of some of the key experimental devices are both lucid and compelling, as if she has been taken out of herself by sheer wonder.
Randall is an interested party in all this, because her own theories are very much at stake in the impending work of the LHC; she keeps reminding us that her speculative work remains unconfirmed, however promising it may be. But the days are long past when only physicists who had made amply confirmed discoveries were accorded a public forum for their views. I confess that this notable shift makes me uneasy. Ever since the advent of string theory and its provocative possibilities, the public rhetoric of physics popularizations has moved to speculative ground that used to be reserved for science fiction: Arguably beautiful or at least intriguing theories that might even be true are put forth even though they remain unconfirmed. In this context, Randall seems interestingly eclectic, using ideas from M-theory and string theory to build models that capitalize on those theories' powerful ideas without rigid adherence to their (still unclear) basic tenets.
Augmenting her account of the scientific promise of the LHC, Randall also observes the political and economic scene surrounding this huge undertaking. She reminds us that in 1993, the U.S. Congress scuttled the Superconducting Supercollider (SSC) that was planned to have achieved almost three times the maximum energy of the LHC. This was ostensibly for budgetary reasons, but Randall observes that the SSC's projected $10 billion price tag was dwarfed by the $150 billion Americans paid in the 1990s to resolve the savings-and-loan crisis. President Clinton said at the time that "abandoning the SSC . . . would signal that the United States is compromising its position of leadership in basic science—a position unquestioned for generations." And it did so to save what would have been a measly per capita sum: According to Randall, the comparably priced LHC cost each European only $15.
Such perspectives are crucial to wise decisions in the political and scientific spheres, for which Randall rightly stresses the importance of understanding issues of scale. Those issues are the centerpiece of her larger reflections on the nature of science. She argues persuasively that scientific questions need to be placed in the context of their appropriate scale: Happenings important on the subatomic scale are generally negligible for phenomena at other, very different scales. Accordingly, she emphasizes (as she did in Warped Passages) the way in which physics uses "effective theories" to distill what is truly relevant at the scale in question. She also defends the importance of reason as a tool of science, in contrast to doctrinal or religious prejudice and recurrent human tendencies to disprize rationality in favor of common (and often irrational) intuition; here she makes cogent and important points that deserve hearing by a wide audience.
Interspersed throughout are summary accounts of a great variety of physical theories and experiments, which Randall obviously felt were needed to help her readers follow her arguments, whether about science in general or about its current state. Some of these explanations go over ground she covered in Warped Passages at greater length, and, at times, the newer versions suffer by comparison with the earlier ones. In Knocking on Heaven's Door, Randall's exposition of many complex theories seems pressed by the ambitious, multifaceted agenda she has set for herself.
Altogether, Randall deserves praise for helping readers deal with such difficult material, which she tries to present in some detail without dumbing it down. When she is describing her own work, her illustrations are vivid and compelling. But in the chapter on the Higgs mechanism, she struggles to make its analogical argument really convincing. This is quite understandable, given the formidable difficulty of this concept, which falls far outside our common experience. How to explain the subtle mechanism by which an all-pervasive, but nevertheless elusive, field is supposed to render some elementary particles heavier than others? Still, Randall is such a gifted expositor, I had hoped for more; here, uncharacteristically, she seems to be resigned to not making her point as vividly as would have been suitable, given the importance of the search for the Higgs particle at the LHC. Perhaps a bolder and freer use of narrative and diagrams, which she employs to good effect in other sections, would have helped the reader.
In this book, the need for slow, careful explanations finds itself in competition with the author's desire to offer sweeping perspectives and to address the large problems she perceives in public misunderstanding of the scope and character of scientific research. It's hard to knock on heaven's door while attending to the perplexities of one's readers, back on Earth. Nevertheless, Randall's generous cornucopia of ideas, her engaging style, and above all her deep excitement about physics make this a book that deserves a wide readership.

Keith, you could just send a truck load of bee's.
Your bees are on his field and you are wanting to change the way he farms? If you don't like it, do the right thing and buy or rent your own land and put your bees on it. As long as your bees are on someone else's land you have no recourse.
Keith...seriously? I honestly thought you were more open minded.
Follow the scenario closely.....
Last year it was the last week of May....I had 100 colonies at my house.....there was a field down the road about 3/4 mile that had vegetation knee high and was full of white clover bloom......great I thought.....my bees were flying heavy in that direction and nothing but sunny Skys in the forecast. A few days later that field was no-till planted over the bloom. After that I was seeing dead bees piling up.....those hives struggled after that.....I had queen losses higher then normal. I moved those bees to 3 different honey production yards. At the end of the season-GUESS WHAT? The hives that came from there had the highest loss %. That's what happens every year. It's not all yards but when I notice yards with that type of kill during planting they have the highest deadout rate at the end of the year....even requeening the ones that fail early the end result is the same. It isn't even the same yards year after year.
Abridged version- FIELD FULL OF NECTAR PRODUCING PLANTS IN BLOOM, BEES WORKING AREA HEAVILY, FARMER NO TILL PLANTS WITH PRODUCT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE POLLINATOR SAFE, BEES CONTINUE WORKING THOSE BLOOMS....BRINGING IT BACK TO THE HIVE.....FOR MONTHS THAT FOLLOW HIVES HAVE ISSUES.
If you, anyone not one person in general, doesn't see what is happening in what I just wrote about I don't know what to say.
A product is approved in a way where the manufacturer says there is no danger to non-target species yet the scenario, which is factual observation, proves them wrong.
Nothing against pesticides in general......nothing against loss of habitat....This isn't even about just ME. It's about our industry coexisting with other industries that share the same environment we do.
This happens over a very widespread area. It's not as simple as just moving down the road to another property.

no Keith, Beeslave meant he/she honestly thought you were more anti everything minded,
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Since you don't rent or own your own land to put your bees on then change what you can and accept what you can't and move forward.
Beeslave what were the chemicals that the farmers used that knocked your bees back? Can you narrow it down to one chemical or are there several chemicals?
What I've been arguing is defect in a regulatory agencies decision to allow something that previously was never used in the way it is used now.
Apparently Keith would be ok if I purchased land next to one of his large holding yards and knowingly did what I could to attract and kill as many of his hives as possible. After all....in a free market the more you can eliminate of the competition the better chance you have gaining his part of the market.
Leer Family Honey Farm-Shannon Leer
What was the farmer using on his field?
Just in case there's someone on Beesource I haven't irritated yet, I'll point out that there is a legal concept called "attractive nuisance." If, for example, you have a large beautiful swimming pool in your back yard filled with piranhas, a neighborhood kid who sneaks over your fence and get eaten will result in you getting sued out of your socks. If beekeepers weren't the redheaded stepchildren of agriculture, a case could be made that the farmer who failed to till in his clover prior to treating it with something that kills bees could be liable for damages for similar reasons.
I suppose if the affected beekeeper has pollination contracts, then not only has the farmer damaged the hives of that beekeeper, he has damaged the livelihood of the farmer who depends on those hives for pollination.
did you have the dead bees and or comb tested to see what killed the bees. Maybe the farmer used a product that was Illegal, if so then you would have a recourse, right now all
we have is speculation.

Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
It appears to me that Beeslave has determined that his bees were set back from chemicals used on a particular field. I was wondering why he didn't find out what the chemical was so that he didn't put his bees in harms way again?
2)it's not about eliminating anyone, it's about freedom of choice to do on your land(with in the law) as you see fit to make living.
Competition... I have that in the sub market... do you know right now the folks by in MN are running around Calif saying that there is just as good as Nutra Bee, I don't need to stoop to there level, I just consentrate on doing my job the best that I can do, the rest will sort itself out.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
Keith, where can I get your sub, I have been using mega bee, how does it compare to Nutra bee.
Because it's year after year. Not always the same area. Not all crop farmers operate the same. I am not the only Beekeeper to notice this in this area. I've reported it the last few years to a state inspector. He called me last spring to notify me he was seeing it in his hives when his neighbor no-tilled over an alfalfa field with dandelion in bloom. It's not easy to pinpoint where the source is when often these fields are hidden from view.
This is far from "Willy nilly speculation". It is proven that fugitive dust from treated seed can/will harm bees. It is proven that the affects myself and others see are the same effects on bees where studies using clothianidin are done. My field observations are over an extended period in various areas with the same common denominators again and again.
Keith stated "it's not about eliminating anyone, it's about freedom of choice to do on your land(with in the law) as you see fit to make living."...........this is exactly what I've been trying to get across......the procedure and materials being used are not working the way they were approved to to be used. That Is the flaw.

In this exercise learners use statistics (T-test using Excel) to analyze an authentic dataset from Lake Mendota in Madison, WI that spans the last 150 years to explore ice on/ice off dates. In addition, students are asked to investigate the IPCC Likelihood Scale and apply it to their statistical results.
This short video, the sixth in the National Academies Climate Change, Lines of Evidence series, explores the hypothesis that changes in solar energy output may be responsible for observed global surface temperature rise. Several lines of evidence, such as direct satellite observations, are reviewed.
This is a hands-on activity students design, build, and test. They compare the energy-generating capacities of vertical- and horizontal- axis wind turbine prototypes they have built as potential sources for power in a home.
This activity engages learners to investigate the impact of Earth's tilt and the angle of solar insolation as the reason for seasons by doing a series of hands-on activities that include scale models. Students plot the path of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days separated by three months of time.
This short video, is the fifth in the National Academies Climate Change, Lines of Evidence series. It focuses on greenhouse gases, climate forcing (natural and human-caused), and global energy balance.
This activity presents small groups of students with real engineering design/problem-solving needs for power in small towns in Mali, Ethiopia, and Namibia.
This activity from NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory introduces students to the scientific understanding of the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle. The activity leads them through several interactive tasks to investigate recent trends in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Students analyze scientific data and use scientific reasoning to determine the causes responsible for these recent trends. By studying carbon cycle science in a visual and interactive manner, students can learn firsthand about the reasons behind our changing climate.
This animated map shows prevailing surface wind direction and strength across the United States.
In this activity, students become familiar with the online Renewable Energy Living Lab interface and access its real-world solar energy data to evaluate the potential for solar generation in various U.S. locations.
This activity engages students in a role play to negotiate an agreement between the United States and China about climate change policies. Students use given background material or can do their own additional research to present their assigned stakeholder's position in a simulated negotiation.

sun is coming back ! It's time to build a sensible swarm catching box for easy handling and safe transportation
as seen on this french Warré forum
une cage à essaim (swarm cage)
important issues
- build Light
- velcro band
- queen excluder
- adapt the dimensions to the inner ones of your favorite NUC box so you can pour them in easilly
- 1 inch thick for the floor "frame" so you have an easy way-in for the girls when left diagonaly open, even in dense grass.
some argue that the swarm may re-form on the both sides of the net-windows , men could add some hiding stuff either in wood or paperboard

Spons'd Tingles: Savoury Moment by Dr Oetker
Bradley Cooper's bad pants
It's time for another Dr. Oetker Savoury Moment and this month they're celebrating summer by featuring a Summer BBQ giveaway. Contest details and the entry ballot can be found here.
June 2009 is when Bradley Cooper officially became A List. A blockbuster movie, a maybe pretend relationship with Jennifer Aniston, getting paparazzied several times a week, on the shortlist to star in several high profile big budget upcoming vehicles – Coop has arrived, and he's building a frisky fanbase of quivering fans who've suddenly elevated him to #1 on their Freebie 5s.
Like many of you, I started the month off standing on top of the Coop bandwagon proclaiming his hotness too. He's totally hot. And he's smart. And his hair is very personable.
But then…
Then someone took over from Jakey Gyllenhaal. Heretofore, like, such as, the Iraq, Jake has been the prince of pants problems. He sucks at pants. Coop sucks just as hard. On carpet after carpet, his tailor deficiencies took over – too short pants, too tight pants, too bad wash jeans… am now officially obsessed with Coop's bad pants. Because it's so unnecessary! A flaw that can easily be remedied. Bad pants in his case are not genetic. And yet… all the time… here comes Coop with his capri pants at a premiere. Can barely tolerate capri pants on girls. On guys it's almost as bad as a Chinese symbol tattoo.

What you might not know is that doctors are running "...
Cipro XR
Cipro XR Patient Information including How Should I Take
In this Article
- What is ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?
- What are the possible side effects of ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?
- What is the most important information I should know about ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?
You should not use ciprofloxacin if:
- you are also taking tizanidine (Zanaflex);
- you have a history of myasthenia gravis; or
- you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or similar medications such as gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), ofloxacin (Floxin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and others.
To make sure you can safely take ciprofloxacin, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- heart rhythm disorder, especially if you take quinidine (Quin-G), disopyramide (Norpace), bretylium (Bretylol), procainamide (Pronestyl, Procan SR), amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), or sotalol (Betapace);
- a history of head injury or brain tumor;
- a condition called pseudotumor cerebri (high pressure inside the skull that may cause headaches, vision loss, or other symptoms);
- a history of allergic reaction to an antibiotic;
- joint problems;
- kidney or liver disease;
- epilepsy or seizures;
- diabetes;
- muscle weakness or trouble breathing;
- low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia); or
- a personal or family history of Long QT syndrome.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether ciprofloxacin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
Ciprofloxacin passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Ciprofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. These effects may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant. Stop taking ciprofloxacin and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions.
Do not share this medication with another person (especially a child), even if they have the same symptoms you have.
How should I take ciprofloxacin (Cipro XR)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take ciprofloxacin with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Drink several extra glasses of fluid each day while you are taking ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin may be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time each day.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) for at least 15 seconds just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
When taking the oral liquid, swallow it without chewing the medicine beads you may notice in the liquid.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Do not take ciprofloxacin with dairy products such as milk or yogurt, or with calcium-fortified juice. You may eat or drink these products as part of a regular meal, but do not use them alone when taking ciprofloxacin. They could make the medication less effective.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.

Free pilates classes for furloughed workers
Sun Pilates Studio wants to help community
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The shutdown isn't only affecting furloughed workers. Businesses are feeling a trickle effect. So they want to help out.
A pilates studio in Colorado Springs is offering free classes to furloughed workers. It might seem like an unnecessary offer, but one Air Force Academy professor on furlough says it's exactly what he needs.
David Sacko was stretching out his stress on Friday (10/4/13). He's one of the 1,000 employees at the Air Force Academy on furlough.
"I had this feeling of being dislocated that I no longer had a place to be," said Sacko.
Sacko has showed up at the Academy for the last 12 years.
"I felt like I needed to be there, but I couldn't be there," he said.
Since October 1, he hasn't been allowed to step foot on campus.
"I can't connect with my students or colleagues. I can't engage in research related to my position at the academy," said Sacko.
He said if he knew the shutdown was only going to last two weeks, he could adjust the budget, take care of things he and his wife need to do. However, there is no end in sight.
"Not knowing is the terrible thing," said Sacko.
He and his wife have put their search for a new car and home on hold. The owner of Sun Pilates Studio Dawn King wants to make a difference.
"Our community is in need of some support," said King.
She decided to offer free classes for furloughed workers.
"Oh it's fantastic," said Sacko. "Pilates has been on my list. So this has been a breathe of fresh air."
King said,"It's great to be a positive space that people can come to and exercise is always a great stress reliever."
Stress once sitting on david's shoulders is now gone at least for a little while.
"It's tremendous to know that someone out there kind of feels us, feels our pain," said Sacko.
King said she'll keep the offer going for the next week. If the shutdown continues, she'll stretch out the free classes.

Man killed in Onslow County bridge crash was Marine captain
ONSLOW COUNTY - The man killed in the crash off Sewell Bridge in Jacksonville was a Marine at Camp Johnson, a base official said.
According to Nat Fahy, the director of public affairs at Camp Lejeune, 31-year-old Capt. Rafael Rentas Rivera was a logistics officer at Camp Johnson.
First responders found Rivera's body in a black Jeep that was laying on its side in the water under the Sewell Bridge, Jacksonville Police said. The scene was on the U.S. 17 / N.C.24 bypass heading eastbound.
The crash was reported just before noon Saturday. Police are investigating what caused the accident.
Rivera had served primarily as the officer in charge of the Advanced Ground Training Operations Section, Fahy said in a news release. Rivera had also served as an instructor for the Logistics Officer Course at Camp Johnson.
Rivera enlisted in the Marine Corps in October 2000 and was commissioned in
December 2006, according to Fahy. He was previously deployed to Iraq in 2008 and 2009, and to Afghanistan in 2011 and 2012.
Jacksonville Police have identified the man killed in Saturday's crash off Sewell Bridge.
According to investigators, first responders found the body of 31-year-old Rafael Rentas Rivera in a black Jeep that was laying on its side in the water under the bridge. The scene was on the U.S. 17 / N.C.24 bypass heading eastbound.
The crash was reported just before noon Saturday.
Derek Smith's wrecker helped pull out the Jeep out of the New River. According to Smith, witnesses at the scene said Rivera was on his way to work at about 6 a.m. Saturday. He was driving on the Sewell Bridge when for some reason, his vehicle went into the water.
"I mean the roads, because of the snow, were cold and frosty in the morning. In my mind, it'd be more like he lost control of the vehicle and it just went up when he caught the ice. It just carried him right over the side of the bridge and there was nothing he could do," Smith said.
But police have not commented on the cause or said if ice was a factor.
Smith said two chunks of ice were missing along the highway shoulder where the Jeep's tires had just hit. Smith said when he looked over the bridge, he could see the vehicle's passengers side and part of its tires just barely out of the water.
Divers recovered the body before pulling out the Jeep, said Smith. Crews shut down part of the highway while they worked to pull the vehicle out of the water.
"We lowered down everything to the divers and they took care of hooking it up, checking everything, and making sure it was safe to lift it. I mean without them there, we wouldn't be able to get it out of the water," Smith said.
Smith said in his opinion, the size of the Jeep, the tires, the vehicle's height off the ground and the weather were all factors in the crash.
Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the wreck.
Personnel from Onslow County, the City of Jacksonville, Camp Lejeune, the Coast Guard, and Marine Fisheries assisted first responders.
One vehicle and an unidentified body was recovered from the waters under Sewell Bridge one quarter mile east of New River Saturday, according to the Jacksonville Department of Public Safety.
According to a spokesperson for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, one vehicle, possibly a jeep, was recovered with a body inside.
Traffic going northbound was backed for several miles Saturday afternoon. Police, military, fire and rescue first responders were on scene.
NewsChannel 12's Juliana Valencia saw people working with several cables from a tow truck that were dangling over the bridge around 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon. They said they were trying to pull the jeep upright out of the water.
JPD said traffic coming onto the east bound lanes of the bypass were closed from hwy 53 for several hours.
Around 3 p.m. Saturday, officials said a body was recovered from the single vehicle crash.
The Director of Public Safety, Chief Mike Yaniero , said they're working on identifying the victim and notifying next of kin.
"This is an active and open investigation and there is no additional information to release at this time," Yaniero said.
No word on the cause of the crash.
NewsChannel12 obtained some of the video from ABC affiliate WWAY producer Ashley Cimino.

People person finds his niche in small town
You can learn a lot about Ryan Sjoblad's personality just by reading his Facebook posts for his Pequot Lakes restaurant, the Hungry Loon Cafe.
Take last Friday's entry: "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish ... except at the Loon. It's another Fish Friday here, with our tasty Tuna Croissant or Tuna Melt for our specials today. Or if don't feel like doing the Lent thing, you can always go for the Roast Beef Melt. Can't go wrong with that one, either. ;-)"
Ryan is a people person, and he surrounds himself with people, whether it be at work or as a coach for his sons' athletic teams.
Ryan was born in Idaho, where his parents, Dave and Barb Sjoblad of Pequot Lakes, were student teachers. When Ryan was just 1, the Sjoblads returned to Minnesota, moving to Pequot Lakes, where Ryan attended school and graduated from Pequot Lakes High School. He was an active student, involved in football, basketball and track, Knowledge Bowl, National Honor Society and band.
After graduating, Ryan attended St. John's University in Collegeville, graduating with a major in psychology and a minor in communications. He took his degrees and moved to the Twin Cities, where he was a communications specialist for what then was Control Data.
Ryan then was the public relations manager for Fair Isaac Corp.'s public website.
"In that job I became an expert on credit scores," he said, noting he's quoted in four books, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Time magazine.
But Ryan soon longed once again for small-town living.
"I was getting real tired of living in the Cities and driving downtown every day and paying $250 a month to park," he said.
Ryan and his wife, Amy, decided that when their oldest son was entering kindergarten that they wanted their children to grow up in the lakes area rather than the Cities. So eight years ago, Ryan, Amy and their two sons, Zach, now 13, and Carter, now 10, moved north. They live in Nisswa, not far from where Ryan grew up. Amy is branch manager at Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union in Pequot Lakes.
Ryan worked various jobs in sales and marketing before deciding he wanted to do something else.
"I was looking to get into something where I wasn't sitting at a desk all day," he said, noting he was thinking along the lines of owning a men's retail store.
That's when he learned that the Tiki Room restaurant in the Jack Pine Center was for sale.
Ryan had worked at several area restaurants while growing up, including Norway Ridge, Bar Harbor and the Quarterdeck.
"So I had restaurant experience and I knew it was a lot of work," he said. "I like cooking and I like talking to people and it seemed to work. It seemed like a good fit."
That was nearly a year ago; Ryan opened the Hungry Loon Cafe on May 1, 2012.
"It's what I expected. I like it a lot," he said. "When people are in here, everybody seems to love it."
With his background in marketing, Ryan turned to social media and the Internet to market the Hungry Loon. Once a week someone will tell him they found the restaurant online.
He looks forward to business picking up again this summer.
"Last July I think I had one day off so I'm hoping to get two days off this July," Ryan said with a smile.
Summer plans at the Hungry Loon include offering more organic foods, local produce and a raw vegetable juice bar. It goes with the health and reuse/recycle themes of businesses in the Jack Pine Center, which include a health food store, Seeds of Sommer, and two used clothing stores, Worth Repeating Consignments and Jenny's Little Monkeys children's shop.
When he's not at the restaurant, Ryan is coaching his sons' youth athletic teams, which include basketball, football and baseball teams.
"I have a hard time just sitting down and keeping my mouth shut," he said with a smile, so he chooses to coach the kids.
Ryan has no regrets after moving back home.
"I'm a real people person so I love to walk in a store and say hi to five people I know," he said. "People I graduated with are my kids' teachers. You know who the good people are, and people are generally there for each other. In the Cities, you're more anonymous."

The official residence of British prime minister, in Downing Street No. 10 has a new tenant. Larry, the cat, joined David Cameron, serving the family of the British head of state with his hunter's instinct in an attempt to dismiss a plague of rats currently living in the British mansion.
According to the BBC, the new tenant's arrival comes after weeks of speculation about the potential measures that would be taken to control infestations after a large black rat has been seen in the housing.
According to the spokesman from Downing Street, Larry was chosen due to their "intense hunting instinct", developed during the times he lived on the streets, before he went to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
BBC says, he is the last one of the long line of cats at the No. 10 and will receive the title of "Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office", following Sybil who lived there between 2007 and 2008.

Veggie Wash Purchase

The Veggie Wash rocks! We use it to clean all our fresh fruit and veggies and even to clean our cutting boards and counter tops. Great stuff and reasonably priced. Way to go iherb.com. From a very happy camper!
Posted by Reviewer2938582 on Nov 18, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I really like this product and definitely feel better about eating my fruits (especially apples) after I use this. I can't afford all organic, so using this is the next best thing.
Don't wash veggies without it
Posted by Reviewer2132959 on Sep 05, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I use this on all veggies. Especially if I have to buy genetically engineered, waxy produce from the ordinary grocery store. It strips the wax and germs right off. Otherwise, always buy organic and just rinse veggies with unchlorinated fresh water.
Works awesome on cleaning! ♥♥♥ Click on my username for more reviews and information! ♥♥♥

I just got this and used it as soon as I could. This worked very well on cleaning the lemon I had. I could feel the difference and it did not feel waxy like it had before. Although they seem like a nuisance, the stickers or labels attached to fruit and some vegetables have more of a function than helping scan the price at the checkout stand. The PLU, tells you how the fruit was grown. By reading the PLU, you can tell if the fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides. This is very important and brings home the real need for a veggie wash. If there are only four numbers in the PLU, this means that the produce was grown conventionally or "traditionally" with the use of pesticides. If there are five numbers in the PLU, and the number starts with "8″, this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or vegetable. If there are five numbers in the PLU, and the number starts with "9″, this tells you that the produce was grown organically and is not genetically modified. However, you would still want to wash these as well.
Cleans veggies and everything else
Posted by ReaCovery on Nov 20, 2015 | Verified Purchase
Wow! this really is a multi-purpose product to have handy in your kitchen. It not only gets your produce clean in a natural way, but its good for cleaning up marks and stains around the kitchen and for getting sticky, waxy, stubborn stuff off your hands, like when you have been pruning trees without gloves. I've got into the habit of grabbing this before my other multi-purpose cleaner. It sits on my sink and gets used often, but a little goes a long way. I've already bought its replacement, but will order more when that one runs out.
Posted by Reviewer2085586 on Jul 27, 2011 | Verified Purchase
This green puddle which comes from my orange tomatoes after veggie wash impresses me a lot) so will definitely reorder
Super Product
Posted by GrapeGate on Jan 16, 2012 | Verified Purchase
To me there is a big difference between fruits brushed rinsed thoroughly with just water, and fruits brushed with the veggie wash and rinsed off after. The veggie wash pulls the wax and other chemicals right off the apples and grapes with ease. Love it.
Good very good
Posted by Reviewer12103191 on Aug 30, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Use it for washing F&V, for cutting boards and for microwave oven. Nice fresh citrus smell.
Posted by LionKing on Mar 12, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Very useful for washing grapes (pour some veggie wash into the sink). All of our bought fruits and veggies are going under control of this wash :)

"All science is either physics or stamp collecting" said
Lord Rutherford, who was not a stamp collector. The remark did
nothing to win friends for physics among practitioners of other
sciences. But Rutherford got his come-uppance: When he was summoned
to Stockholm in 1908, the prize awaiting him there was not in
physics but in chemistry.A century later, surveying the state
of physics and its relations with other fields, I am tempted to give
Rutherford's quip an even more inflammatory reading, though he never
intended it. "All science is physics" might be taken as a
territorial claim, annexing other disciplines as provinces to be
ruled by the laws of physics and administered by physicists. This
imperial vision of the destiny of physics is not entirely without a
basis in history, or at least etymology. At one time, the term
physics had a very broad meaning, roughly synonymous with
natural science. The 18th-century
Encyclopédia of Diderot and d'Alembert listed under
the rubric physique particuliere everything from astronomy
and cosmology to meteorology, mineralogy, chemistry, zoology and
botany (but not stamp collecting).
Browsing through recent issues of Physical Review E
(a section of the main journal published by the American Physical
Society), one could form an equally expansive view of the scope of
21st-century physics. Within the past year, the Phys Rev E
table of contents has included titles such as "Outbreaks of
Hantavirus induced by seasonality," "Large-scale
structural organization of social networks," "Topology of
the world trade web," "Generating neural circuits that
implement probabilistic reasoning" and "Number fluctuation
and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic." Evidently, the
boundaries of physics are elastic enough to take in aspects of viral
epidemiology, sociology, market economics, cognitive neuroscience
and number theory. Are all of those fields now absorbed into the
empire of physics?
The story I want to tell here is not about sleeper cells of militant
physicists plotting a coup in the biology department. As a matter of
fact, although physics provides the most dramatic examples, several
other disciplines also have boundaries that seem to be shifting or
growing porous. Intellectual migrants are wandering back and forth
across many academic frontiers, generally without stopping for any
formalities at the customs house. In some cases, the same paper
might be classified as physics, biology, mathematics or computer
science, depending more on the author's affiliation and where it was
published than on the subject matter.
Departmental reshuffling and realignment goes on all the time, but
the present moment seems to be one of particular ferment. Among many
possible causes, I would point to the changing role of computation
in the various sciences. A number of earlier upheavals in the
structure of scientific disciplines have been triggered by new
techniques and instruments, sometimes imported from other fields.
Today, computation is the common thread in many of the areas that
are having a disciplinary identity crisis. Some of these areas rely
heavily on computer simulations or experiments, and others analyze
large data sets accessible only with computer technology. Computer
science also exerts a subtler but deeper influence when laws of
nature are expressed in algorithmic form.
Social Phase Transitions
How does it happen that a sensible and sober-minded physicist strays
into such dangerous neighborhoods as economics, sociology or
political science? Well, one thing leads to another. The road to
ruin may be long and twisting, but each step along the way is easy
enough to trace.
Here's an example. Physics has a long-standing interest in the
phases of matter and the transitions between those phases. This
topic includes not only the familiar solid-liquid-vapor phases but
also related phenomena such as the onset of magnetization in iron.
One strategy for studying phase transitions is to sweep aside all
the intricacy of atomic or molecular structure and build the
simplest model that exhibits the behavior of interest. In the case
of magnetism, the iron atom with its halo of 56 spinning electrons
can be replaced by a single abstract "spin"—which is
merely an arrow that points either up or down and has no other
properties. The spins are arranged on a geometrical grid or lattice,
a cartoon version of the crystal structure of the metal. Quantum
interactions between iron atoms are modeled by a simple tendency for
nearby spins to line up parallel to one another, but this orderly
state can be disrupted by thermal agitation. If this rudimentary
model is a success, then at some temperature most of the spins
should suddenly fall into alignment, mimicking the spontaneous
magnetization of a real magnet.
Having created this model to represent a specific physical system,
you might now discover that the model itself is an interesting
object of study. Variations suggest themselves, with different
lattice geometries or rules of interaction; the variants may or may
not have anything to do with magnetic materials. In some cases the
behavior of the model can be worked out mathematically in full
detail, but more often the only way to understand how the array of
spins evolves is by computer simulation.
Now comes the next step down the path leading out of the Garden of
Physics. After spending some time exploring the universe of abstract
models, you may begin to notice that the lattice of spins could be
given a variety of interpretations; the spins could represent many
things other than magnetic moments of atoms. In particular,
up and down spins might be mapped onto
pro and contra opinions held by people in some
social context. In this new view of the model, the interactions that
were once seen as magnetic couplings now represent the tendency of
people to influence (and be influenced by) their neighbors'
opinions. The phase transition in which the spins all line up
pointing the same way corresponds to the sudden emergence of a
consensus within the population. And thus a physicist becomes a
social scientist.
For another example, consider the process of percolation, where a
fluid trickles through the mazelike passages of a porous medium. Can
the fluid penetrate the entire region, or will it be blocked by
dead-end passages? Again the essentials can be captured in a lattice
model. Each link between adjacent nodes of the lattice is open to
fluid flow with some fixed probability p or is blocked with
probability 1-p. At low values of p, most links
are blocked, and the lattice consists of many small, isolated
clusters of connected nodes. As p increases, there is a
threshold value where a giant connected cluster suddenly appears,
allowing a fluid to infiltrate the entire lattice.
Like the lattice spin system, the percolation model has many
variationsÑand many interpretations distant from the physical
process that inspired it. The idea of something spreading
probabilistically through a network can also model the transmission
of rumors, or the progress of a forest fire or the spread of an
infectious disease. Indeed, maybe the percolation model could model
itself, documenting its own spread from one discipline to the next.
These are a few of the paths radiating from physics to other areas.
But the landscape of science is criss-crossed with trails
going in other directions as well. A mathematician studying random
graphs—structures formed when you start with a set of isolated
nodes and then add links between them at random—would also
discover an abrupt transition where a giant connected component
spontaneously emerges. This sudden change in the structure of the
graphs has all the characteristics of a phase transition, and so the
mathematician wanders onto turf usually claimed by physicists.
A computer scientist could have a similar experience. The
computational problem known as satisfiability concerns Boolean
formulasÑlogical statements such as ((p OR
q) and ((not q) OR r)), where each of the
variables p, q and r has a value of either true or
false. The question is: Can you find an assignment of values that
makes the overall proposition true? For the example given here it's
easy to answer this question by trial and error, but large formulas
are challenging. In the 1980s computer scientists detected an
interesting pattern: As a certain parameter measuring the complexity
of the formula increases, there is a sudden transition. Below the
threshold, almost all satisfiability problems are solvable, but
above it almost none are. The resemblance to phase transitions is
obvious, and so computer scientists found themselves doing physics,
and physicists took up work on the satisfiability problem.
One more example from farther afield: In 1971 Thomas C. Schelling
published a lattice model of racial segregation. Black and white
residents, initially scattered at random over the nodes of the
lattice, were assumed to prefer living among neighbors of the same
race; those who were unhappy with their current surroundings could
move. Schelling's most provocative finding was that it doesn't take
vicious bigotry to produce a sharply segregated housing pattern;
even the mildest preference for neighbors of the same race leads to
a phase separation. Schelling's diagrams look very much like
simulations of a lattice model of magnetic materials, but the paper
makes no reference to the physics literature. (Indeed, it predates
much of it.) Schelling is an economist and political scientist.
Fishing Expeditions
The lattice models constitute a set of problems and tools that span
an impressive diversity of disciplines. But which of those
disciplines is their true home? Who owns those models?
From one point of view, such a question doesn't even deserve an
answer. The "intellectual property" of the pure sciences
is still considered a public trust, freely available to anyone with
the wit to use it. You don't have to be a licensed mathematician to
write a differential equation. And unsolved problems are like fish
in the sea—there for the taking by anyone who has the right
bait and tackle. Nevertheless, academic communities get nervous when
foreign fleets begin trawling in local waters. And no wonder. When
you've been chasing the big fish all your life, it takes an
uncommonly generous turn of mind to rejoice in watching someone else
land it.
A scientific discipline—whether physics or mathematics or
anthropology—is more than just a body of knowledge. It's also
a community of people, together with the organizations and cultural
traditions that bind them together—the journals they read, the
meetings they attend, the jokes they tell. Such institutions resist
change, and most of them are quite stable over the span of a human
lifetime. But upheavals are not unknown. In retrospect these events
may look exciting and rejuvenating, but some of the participants
must have found them traumatic. Two historical examples worth
pondering are the rise of astrophysics in the 19th century and the
invention of molecular biology in the 20th.
Astronomy had its first close encounter with physics in the era of
Kepler and Newton, but the consequences of that conjunction extended
only to the limits of the solar system. Astronomy as applied to the
stars remained the kind of science that Rutherford derided as stamp
collecting. There wasn't much you could do with the stars but
catalog them—give them names and note their positions, their
brightness, and perhaps some hint of their color. Nothing was known
of their mass and size, their composition, their age or the source
of their radiant energy. The French philosopher August Comte cited
the chemistry of the stars as an example of something that would
remain forever unknowable.
What overturned this pessimistic assessment was an infusion of new
instruments and methods, most notably spectroscopy. The discovery
that narrow lines observed in stellar spectra could be matched up
with corresponding lines in the spectrum of a candle flame brought
the stars right into the laboratory. Almost immediately,
spectroscopists were identifying chemical elements in the stars
(including, in the case of helium, an element that had not yet been
found on Earth). Later, subtler features of the spectra allowed
inferences about temperature and pressure in stellar atmospheres,
and even the measurement of stellar magnetic fields. This new style
of stellar science was thoroughly multidisciplinary. There were
astronomers (John Herschel) but also chemists (Robert Bunsen),
physicists (Gustav Kirchhoff) and even a polymath pioneer of
photography (William Henry Fox Talbot). The instigator of the whole
spectroscopic revolution was an optician (Joseph von Fraunhofer).
The term astrophysics, coined by the German physicist J. K.
F. Zölner, must have sounded odd at the outset—as
sociophysics and econophysics do today—but
it has entered the mainstream now. In most universities, the
Department of Astronomy is now named Astronomy and Astrophysics.
In biology, the quest to understand the molecular basis of life also
involved ideas and personnel recruited from other disciplines, and
yet the story is a little different. The prominent role of
physicists in this undertaking is often remarked. Of the four people
most closely associated with the double-helix model of
DNA—Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Maurice
Wilkins—three began their careers in physics or physical
chemistry. Another seminal figure was Max Delbrück, who studied
quantum physics with Niels Bohr before turning to biology. At least
one major technology was imported from physics: X-ray
crystallography became a tool for mapping the structure of
biomolecules. Although Delbrück and Crick brought no new
instruments with them, perhaps they passed along a physicist's style
of problem-solving. Delbrück set out to find the simplest
possible biological system for investigating the mechanism of
heredity—he chose the bacterial viruses called
phages—much as a physicist would reduce a magnet to a lattice
of spins. Still, however much molecular biology may have been
influenced by the physicists who helped create it, the field remains
a province of biology, not a colonial outpost of physics.
In describing events like these, the choice of a metaphor makes all
the difference. When physicists turned their attention to genes and
proteins, did they come as a plundering horde, descending on the
defenseless villages of innocent biologists? Or were they refugees
from the war-blasted landscape of physics, grateful for a new home
in a more peaceable realm, and eager to earn their keep by helping
with the chores? Or was it an alliance, a marriage of equals but
opposites, demonstrating the benefits of hybrid vigor? It would
doubtless make everyone feel better if we could adopt the last of
these fables, but such symmetrical unions are rare. For one thing,
some disciplines just have more to export, whereas others tend to
run a trade deficit. Physics and mathematics are defined as much by
their methods as by their subject matter, but in fields such as
geology or entomology the tricks of the trade tend to be more specialized.
Physics Outside Physics
Will the current round of interdepartmental incursions or
cross-fertilizations create new disciplines comparable to
astrophysics or molecular biology? There may well be enough
intellectual content for such new departments, but as yet there are
few signs of the concomitant institutional changes. I have not heard
of any university creating a Department of Sociology and Sociophysics.
A year ago, an international symposium held in Poland confronted the
theme of "Statistical Physics Outside Physics." In an
introductory talk (published, along with the rest of the
proceedings, in the journal Physica A), Dietrich Stauffer
of Cologne University asks what sort of welcome physicists ought to
expect when they venture into economics, sociology or biology.
Stauffer himself has done distinguished work in all three fields,
and so the answers come from direct personal experience. And yet the
question itself seems to me premature. If the work that physicists
do "outside physics" is still labeled as physics—and
in particular if it is still published in physics
journals—then physicists may get no welcome at all. Not all
sociologists, economists and biologists are readers of Physical
Review E or Physica A.
The conference proceedings also include a paper by a sociologist,
Barbara Pabjan of Wroclaw University, that is not exactly a warm
embrace of the visiting physicists. It's understandable that social
scientists are testy on this point. Their field, like a company with
weak quarterly earnings, has been a constant takeover target. Even
the biologists once made a bid, in the "socio-biology"
movement of the 1970s.
Another newly emerging subdiscipline, bio-informatics, provides an
interesting contrast. The subject matter here is the quantitative
analysis of biological data, most notably billions of base
pairs of DNA sequences. The field has brought together biologists
with mathematicians and computer scientists, apparently to the
satisfaction of both parties. The introductory talks at
bioinformatics conferences tend to focus less on friction or tension
between disciplines and more on cooperation and collaboration. As
far as I can tell, biologists do not worry that nerdy interlopers
will poach all the best results, and mathematicians do not feel they
are being exploited like some sort of outsourced tech-support
hotline. Problems such as identifying genes and calculating the
evolutionary distance between species are perceived as being both
biologically significant and mathematically engaging.
The Higher Stamp Collecting
Setting aside all questions of institutional context, much of the
recent cross-disciplinary work—the sociophysics as well as the
bioinformatics—is fascinating and fun. Personally, when I scan
Phys Rev E, it is the "unconventional"
articles, the ones that transgress disciplinary boundaries, that I
am likely to read first. If institutional constraints discourage
such coloring outside the lines, perhaps the institutions need to be reformed.
Do we need disciplines at all? The idea of organizing universities
along topical or departmental lines is not one of those
long-hallowed principles without which civilization would crumble.
American universities in particular resisted faculty specialization
until the middle of the 19th century. Specialist journals and
societies came along even later. For example, Physical
Review and the American Physical Society are not much more than
a century old. (Publications for stamp collectors go back further.)
Realistically, though, it is probably too late to bring back
professors without portfolio.
What may still be possible is to shake up the Tree of Knowledge. As
an armature for classifying ideas, a tree is a rigid structure. Its
definitive feature is that branches diverge but never rejoin, so
that every node can have but one parent. The proliferation of
portmanteau disciplines—astrophysics, biochemistry and so
on—suggests that this single-parent principle is under strain.
Perhaps we should replace the tree with a matrix: Given n
"prime" sciences labeling the columns and rows, we'd have
cubby-holes for n 2 combinations. On a campus
built to reflect this architecture, you could always find your
department by locating the intersection of the appropriate streets.
("Meet me at the corner of Bio and Soc.")
It's no surprise that computation is a conspicuous element in many
of the recent disciplinary upsets. The computer has altered the
scientist's way of life even in routine affairs (controlling
experiments, communicating with colleagues, writing papers). In
fields like statistical mechanics the influence is deeper. Where the
aim is to understand the collective behavior of vast numbers of
interacting entities, computation offers a more direct mode of
investigation than has ever been possible in the past. Occasionally
the role of computing gets explicit acknowledgment, as in the
subdiscipline called computational chemistry. But if all science
becomes computational, there's no point in mentioning it. Like
mathematics, computation becomes everyone's silent partner.
Computation has even rehabilitated some of Rutherford's
stamp-collecting disciplines. Those who compile lists and catalogs,
who survey and classify, find their work newly glamorized in the age
of data mining. The human-genome project has much to do with this
change in attitude. Craig Venter, one of the principals of that
project, has now begun another giant list, sailing the Sargasso Sea
to create a catalog of all the organisms living there. Astronomy has
its own megacatalog: the Sloan Digital Sky Survey will list 100
million objects. What has made such undertakings newly fashionable
is the possibility of doing more with the data once the gigabytes
have been gathered up. In a sense, the database itself becomes an
object of study, in much the same way that physicists study lattices
rather than what the lattices model. Rutherford might still insist
that all science is either physics or stamp collecting, but maybe he
would confess some interest in the physics of stamp collecting.

Reviews of this property
Lovely house and the landlord as well. This appartement by the canal was clean and has a nice view. It has a central location, was quiet and very close to the public transport. You can get easily to the most interesting places that you might want to visit.
Maude's place was lovely. I enjoyed staying there, comfortable, convenient and very nice. Only wished there was an elevator, was a bit tough to bring luggage up 2 flights of stairs or maybe next time I may need to travel a bit light : )
Fantastic location by the canal, close to everything, good public communication.
A little claustrophobic upstairs to the apartment, but it's in the old house in Amsterdam.
The room spacious, very well equipped kitchen, one might wish for a bit more comfortable / large bathroom, but ...
The stay was very pleasant.
Fantastiskt läge vid kanalen , nära till allt, bra allmän kommunikation.
Lite klaustrofobisk trappa upp till lägenheten , men så är det i gamla hus i Amsterdam.
Rummet rymligt , väldigt väl utrustat kök, man skulle kunna önska sig lite bekvämare/större badrummet, men...
Vistelsen var väldigt trevlig.
My parents had a wonderful stay in your appartement and would always recommend it for a pleasant stay right in the center of Amsterdam. Thank you very much!
Maud made all her possible to make us comfortable.
The appartement has a central location so you can reach the most intersting places walking, a small supermarket is at 150m for your supplies.
This appartement by the canal has a nice view, was perfectly clean, and confortable.
Thank's again to Maud.
B. D. (France)
The apartment is gorgeous. Maud had prepared everything up to our arrival. Everything was clean, the kitchen well equipped. Even some foods were prepared in the fridge, so you did not have to immediately leave the house. We enjoyed the stay.
Die Wohnung ist herrlich. Maud hatte alles vorbereitet bis zu unserer Ankunft. Alles war sauber, die Küche bestens ausgestattet. Sogar im Kühlschrank waren einige Lebensmittel vorbereitet, sodass man nicht sofort wieder aus dem Haus musste. Wir konnten den Aufenthalt genießen.
Me and my friends stayed for 3 nights hosted by Maud. Maud was very kind, and always available, even if you could make sudden raids in the apartment from the bathroom door. The apartment, in addition to being well equipped, is located in a perfect location to get around Amsterdam, a 5-minute walk from Rembrandt Square, near the road that connects the area of museums in Dam Square We were able to get around the city (which still is not too large) always walk ... A few steps away there is also a supermarket. The only flaw is perhaps the bathroom, a little 'small and without a real shower. For the rest, really good, CONSIGLIATISSIMO also in relation to price.
Io ed i miei amici siamo stati ospitati da Maud per 3 notti. Maud è gentilissima, e sempre disponibile, anche se potrebbe fare irruzioni improvvise nell'appartamento dalla porta del bagno. L'appartamento, oltre ad essere ben equipaggiato, si trova in una posizione perfetta per girare Amsterdam, a 5 minuti a piedi da Rembrandtplein, vicino alla strada che unisce la zona dei musei a piazza Dam. Siamo riusciti a girare la città (che comunque non è troppo grande) sempre a piedi... A pochi passi c'è anche un supermercato. L'unica pecca è forse il bagno, un po' piccolo e senza una vera cabina doccia. Per il resto, ottimo davvero, CONSIGLIATISSIMO anche in relazione al prezzo.
We liked it very well! The apartment was ideal for our family. Centrally located with a beautiful, exciting view of the canal. A second time I'd want to live with you again! Kathi, Jürg and children
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Wohnung war ideal für unsere Familie. Zentral gelegen mit idyllischem, spannendem Ausblick auf die Gracht. Ein zweites Mal würde ich wieder bei dir wohnen wollen! Kathi, Jürg und Kinder
Old apartment, according to the pictures, overlooking the channel 5 minutes Rembrandtsplein. These hot days we were cool with all amenities. As in all old houses, the stairs are very steep and narrow (may be difficult for the elderly or small children). Lots of charm! The handling of windows is not obvious, but Maud is in the house and can help us.
Bel appartement ancien, conforme aux images, avec vue sur le canal à 5 minutes de Rembrandtsplein. Par ces jours de grande chaleur, nous étions au frais avec toutes les commodités. Comme dans toutes les maisons anciennes, l'escalier est très raide et étroit (peut être difficile pour des personnes âgées ou des petits enfants). Beaucoup de charme! Le maniement des fenêtres n'est pas évident, mais Maud est dans la maison et peut nous aider.
Apartment wonderful and very pleasant to discover the heart of Amsterdam. Moreover, Maud is particularly attentive host against it hosts tourists.
Appartement merveilleusement situé et très agréable pour découvrir le coeur d'Amsterdam. Par ailleurs, Maud est une hôte particulièrement attentionnée à l'égard des touristes qu'elle héberge.
