text: The controversy over the National Portrait Gallery's decision to pull a piece by artist David Wojnarowicz just got a bit more interesting with this story filed by Kriston Capps at the Washington City Paper. Digging into the origins of the story, wherein an unlikely piece of art, considered "fairly minor" and "not even the most prominent piece by the artist on display" at the Gallery's new exhibition "Hide/Seek," became such a hot button issue, Capps tracks the whole thing back to conservative advocate and writer Penny Starr, who not only published the first outcry about it but used her political contacts to help push it into becoming the gigantic story it's become. He further reveals that Starr was able to get John Boehner and Eric Cantor on board by saying she was on deadline and needed their responses immediately, with Boehner in particular never even having seen Wojnarowicz's piece or any of the exhibition in the first place. From there, all the pieces fell into place, the Smithsonian believing "that the outrage was organic", the Catholic League (also likely never having seen the piece before) got involved, the art was pulled, and the rest is history and still a batch of awkwardness for the Smithsonian and its higher-ups. It's a fascinating read, seeing how just one agenda-backed writer can stir the pot so successfully.

A series of trade routes connecting China to the Mediterranean via the Central Asian steppes, the Silk Road covers some of the most inhospitable terrain on the planet.

"The funds raised through this bucket promotion will go directly to pay for life-saving medical treatment for sick and injured kids across the country." - John Lauck, President and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 11, 2014
Ace Hardware is helping make miracles for local sick and injured kids at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
On Aug. 16, Ace customers who make a $5 donation will earn a limited edition five-gallon bucket and receive 20 percent off* most everything that fits in the bucket. All donations will directly benefit the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
The bucket promotion is part of Ace Hardware's Block Party Event, which takes place at participating locations Friday, Aug. 15, through Sunday, Aug. 17.
"Ace is committed to being the Helpful Place in each community we serve, and part of that means giving back," said Jimmy Alexander, president, Ace Hardware Foundation. "We're proud to help make miracles happen for children in need and to provide support for the entire family."
Ace's second-annual All-Star, 10-year-old Aiden Morales, is the face of Ace Hardware's 2014 campaigns for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Aiden was born with a heart defect called tricuspid atresia requiring numerous operations, including the first surgery when Aiden was just six months old. He has since undergone four surgeries, including an operation to give him a pacemaker. Aiden's image and story will be featured in hundreds of Ace Hardware stores across the nation this summer.
Ace Hardware has been a proud partner of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals since 1991. Thanks to the generosity of Ace customers, retailers, vendors and team members, together Ace has raised more than $59 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the country.
"Our friends at the Ace Foundation have been a committed and valued partner in our vision to save the lives of as many children as possible," said John Lauck, president and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "The funds raised through this bucket promotion will go directly to pay for life-saving medical treatment for sick and injured kids across the country."

PAIGE Smith is the Black Country's very own Dancing Queen, a barefoot disco diva.
She's one of only 20 contestants to reach the live finals of the BBC1 show So You Think You Can Dance, performing for the first time last night.
Paige, 18, is a former European Champion in Disco Freestyle – but she admits that the hardest part of the competition is learning to dance in shoes.
That's ironic for a girl whose Saturday job used to be working in Clarks in Walsall.
"I've just always danced in bare feet, that's how I perform," says the former Deansfield High School pupil.
"I wear heels on a night out, but I don't spin or kick my leg up in them.
"For a lot of the dance styles we have to learn, like ballroom, I've been practising dancing in three inch heels.
"It does feel strange,"
Paige says she was shocked to make it through the audition stages, even though judge Arlene Phillips told her she was her favourite dancer.
"I watched So You Think You Can Dance when it started in America, and then when it was first held here last year," says Paige, who has a BTEC from Walsall College.
"I thought I'd try out just to see how I got on. I really never thought I would get this far, because the standard is really high, but it turns out I am good enough!"
It was Paige's mum Carol who started her on the road to fame.
"She entered me in talent shows when I was three or four, then she took me to a dance school when I was seven.
"I loved it. Dancing means so much to me, it's what I want to do in the future."
Apart from her bare feet, another trademark Paige look is her hairdo.
"That's my statement, big hair!" she laughs. "I'd like to keep that if I can.
"It helps to make me stand out from the crowd. I was on the Tube the other day when I was recognised as 'that girl off the telly', which was strange but nice."
At stake in the BBC1 competition, hosted by Brummie Cat Deeley, is a £50,000 prize and the chance to dance in Hollywood.
To win audience votes, the contestants must dazzle in all dance styles, form hip hop to jazz and from ballroom to Broadway.
Another Midland finalist is Katie Love, 24, from Worcester.

Holding stable is part of Dave Bish's character, so it's perhaps appropriate that he is the only site in the top 5 which did not change rank! Dave Bish is another good friend of mine. He traveled out to the edge of London just to meet me for lunch. We have chatted many times online, and his blog is one of the most popular Christian blogs in the UK. He has devoted his life to helping students find Christ—a noble profession.Top of the list is bluefish designed Justin Taylor's blog.
Adrian's top 10 UK referrers were:
1. me.Being personally acquainted with Dan Hames, Martin Downes, Maurice McCracken and Adrian Reynolds I'd have to say they should all be on your blogroll in 2008 if they're not already.
2. Terry Virgo - leader of newfrontiers, family of reformed charismatic churches on a mission.
3. Colin Adams - scottish preaching blog, bringing us great links with great frequency.
4. Peter Kirk
5. Dan Hames - uccf worker for http://www.theologynetwork.org/ - one to watch in 2008!
6. Dave Warnock
7. Martin Downes (more bf design) - a welsh pastor-theolgian who excels in bringing great quotes to our attention and doing great interviews.
8. Maurice McCracken - uccf worker for Relay - honest grace-blogging, infrequently.
9. Adrian Reynolds - pastor with sharp theology infused with church history amongst other things.
10. Mark Heath
Virgo and Adams are the newbies who speak for themselves and will inevitably be 1 & 2 next year. Colin Adams posts with amazing consistency about the very pressing need to resource preaching. Terry Virgo is one of God's great gifts to the church in our generation - I love his insight and his pastoral concern and Biblical teaching. Mark Heath has been around for a while and writes good stuff, though not as often as I'd like!
And it'd be fair to say that I don't see eye-to-eye with Kirk & Dave Warnock with whom Adrian Warnock and I both interacted during this Summer's atonement-blogging. I don't have similar referral stats so I don't know where most of the traffic comes from over the last year. I'd like to think I'd write if no-one read the blog but if it was just that then I'd keep a private journal. I really value the interaction I get here and the encouragements received. So, thank you.

It's been just more than a year now since Google cofounder Larry Page re-gained the CEO job and re-organized the company under a handful of top lieutenants.
So, how have things gone for these top executives in the year since?
We've been speaking with a source close to a few of these people, and he or she helpfully dished.
We learned: Who are Page's favorites? Who gets anything they want? Whose organization is considered "a mess"?
Google PR declined to comment on this story.

Romulo Yanes
- Active Time
- 1 1/2 hours
- Total Time
- 1 1/2 hours
- 3/4 lb onions, finely chopped (2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2/3 cup French green lentils* (4 1/2 ounces), picked over and rinsed
- 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth (18 fl oz)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
- 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 6 (6-ounces) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot
- 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 lb Bibb lettuce (2 heads), leaves separated (torn if large)
- 1 ounce crumbled feta (1/4 cup)
- Cook onions in oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, reserving 3 1/2 tablespoons onions in a small bowl for stuffing and sauce. (Do not clean skillet.)
- While onions are browning, simmer lentils in 1 cup broth and 1 cup water in a 3-quart saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain lentils in a sieve, then stir into onions in medium bowl along with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.
- Stuff chicken breasts:
- Stir together dill, 3 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons reserved onions, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pat chicken dry and cut a 3- to 4-inch-long pocket horizontally in thicker side of each chicken breast. Gently stuff chicken breasts with herbed onions, then season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken:
- Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then turn off burner directly below where chicken will go and reduce remaining burner(s) to moderately high.
- Grill chicken, covered only if using a gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until cooked through, 8 to 11 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let stand, loosely covered, while making sauce.
- Make sauce and assemble salad:
- Stir together arrowroot and 2 tablespoons broth in a small bowl. Purée remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved onions with remaining 1 1/4 cups broth in a blender until smooth, then pour into skillet and deglaze by boiling over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, then add arrowroot mixture and cook, stirring, until just thickened, about 1 minute (do not let boil). Stir in 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
- Stir mint, remaining tablespoon parsley, and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice into lentils, then toss with lettuce and season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken, then divide salad among 6 plates and top with chicken, feta, and sauce.
- *Available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets.
Cooks' note:
·If you aren't able to grill, cook chicken on stove in a lightly oiled well-seasoned 12-inch ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, until cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per batch.

Nontraditional Problems
Note: These problems are designed to require more thinking than traditional problems. Some problems may require techniques from more than one chapter. Some problems may have more than one reasonable solution. Some problems may have no solution, in which case it is your job to explain why there is no solution, the data you would need to obtain a solution, and how you would use this data to obtain a solution. Some problems may include irrelevant information. Some problems may include non-SI units, but your solutions must be given in SI. Some problems may require reasonable assumptions such as free-fall, minimal friction, etc. All solutions must show work to receive full credit. All solutions should be presented symbolically before plugging in numbers. All solutions must include acknowledgements. All problems using Newton's laws must include free- body diagrams to receive full credit. Each force must have a type, direction, approximate magnitude, source, and receiver clearly identified.
Imagine that you are a dictator who would like to impose a new system of units on your nation as an exercise in your arbitrary power. Invent and describe this system of units.
Include the following in your description:
base units
(skip current and luminous intensity)
discussion of the merits of this system (precision, universality,
stability, simplicity, etc.)
You should be creative, comprehensive, and critical. You should not worry about being practical. You are not required to have the same base dimensions (distance, time, etc.) as SI. For example, you could have a base acceleration and distance and then derive the time unit.
Flower Pot
A flower pot falls from a balcony of an apartment building in Salem, Oregon and injures a person. Your job is to determine the apartment from which it originated. Video footage from the second floor indicates that it traveled past a 4.000 meter high window in 0.2600 seconds. All floors in the building are 4.000 meters high. From which floor was the flower pot dropped? Hint:
don't even think about using v = d/t
or any variation thereof (6th grade kinematics) at any
point in this problem.

Shot Put
The shot put is a track and field event involving "putting" (throwing in a pushing motion) a heavy metal ball (called the shot) as far as possible. A shot putter starts from rest, accelerates the shot uniformly in a straight line, and releases the shot at 15 m/s. How far did his hand move?
Shot Put
Shot Put 2
The shot put is a track and field event involving "putting" (throwing in a pushing motion) a heavy metal ball (called the shot) as far as possible. A shot putter starts from rest, accelerates the shot uniformly in a straight line at 60 m/s2 for 0.20 seconds, and releases the shot at 15 m/s. How far did his hand move?
Special Delivery
A care package is delivered by an airplane by dropping
it out the bottom. The airplane is flying horizontally
at a speed of 75 m/s. The airplane is 120 meters above
horizontal ground. Assume that air resistance is
negligible for the care package from the time of release
to the time it hits the ground.
Determine the acceleration (x and y components) of
the care package just after it is dropped.
Determine the acceleration (x and y components) of
the care package just before it hits the ground.
Determine the time it takes the package to hit the
Determine the velocity (x and y components) of the
care package just before it hits the ground.
Determine the velocity (magnitude and direction) of
the care package just before it hits the ground.
A rare "snow day" in Salem, Oregon gives you the opportunity to go sledding. As you drag your sled across level ground at constant speed, you wonder what the coefficient of friction of the snow on the sled is. You estimate the following:
You pull on the rope with a 1.2 pound force
The sled weighs 10 pounds
The sled moves with a speed of 1.5 m/s
The rope makes an angle of 25 degrees to the level ground
Concrete Block
You are passing a construction site near building 8 on the Chemeketa campus. You see the construction workers leave for a break, but they have left a large concrete block resting at the top of a wooden ramp. As soon as their backs are turned, the block begins to slide down the ramp. Estimate the length of the ramp based on the following information:
It takes 9 seconds for the block to reach the bottom of the ramp
The ramp appears to be straight and at an angle of about 20 degrees above horizontal
Your physics book states that the coefficient of kinetic friction between concrete and wood is 0.35
Hill Driving
Your friend plans to drive her 1100-kg car at a constant 40 mph over the top of a hill that is shaped in a circular arc (radius = 60 feet). Predict the magnitudes of each of the forces on the car at the top. You may assume drag and friction are negligible. You may ignore the mass of your friend.
Exercise Energy
It has been proposed that an athletic club use the energy from its customers (on stationary bikes, treadmills, etc.) to generate some of its electricity. You have been hired by the athletic club to calculate the monthly value of harvesting this energy based on the following:
The average customer burns 8.6 Calories per minute
The average customer is 25% efficient at converting food energy into electrical energy
There are 20 customers using exercise machines on average throughout the day
The athletic club is open 18 hours per day
Electricity is worth $0.15 per kWh
Train Spring
Some train stations have large horizontal springs at the ends of the tracks. These are safety devices to stop the train so that it will not go plowing through the station in the event an engineer is too busy texting. You would like to know how fast a train could be going and still be safely stopped by the spring. You would also like to know the spring constant of the spring. It looks like the spring can be compressed about 3.0 meters. The maximum safe acceleration for passengers while stopping is about half of g. You know from years of reading books about trains that a typical train has a mass of 5.0E5 kg.
While getting hit in the head with a falling coconut is not a significant cause of death, it is reasonable to assume that it is an unpleasant experience. In order to estimate the damage from a coconut, it is desirable to know the
average force of impact (among other things). Use the following data to calculate an
average force of impact for a coconut on a person's head:
The coconut tree is at the equator near sea level
coconut has a mass of 1.7 kg
The coconut falls from a height of 20 m
The coconut hits a person of height 2 m and mass of 80 kg
The coconut is in contact with the person's head for 0.040 seconds
The coconut has a negligible velocity after the collision
Airplane Launcher
You are a Navy officer ordered to design an effective airplane launcher. The launcher consists of a large spring that pushes the plane for the first 6 meters of a 22 meter long runway. The plane's engines can supply a constant thrust of 5.4E4 N for the entire length of the runway. In order for the two (metric) ton plane to successfully take off, it must have a speed of at least 44 m/s by the end of the runway.
Airplane Launcher
You are a Navy officer ordered to design an effective airplane launcher.
What is the minimum spring constant for the launcher?
Using this spring, what will be the maximum acceleration of the plane (and its pilot)?
Based on this maximum acceleration, do you think this is a good design? Why or why not? If not, what would you suggest changing (thrust, mass, spring, runway, etc.)? Assume you cannot change the needed speed.
You have a friend who is entering a skateboarding competition in Los Angeles. She wants to take a running start and then jump onto her 5 kg stationary skateboard. She will then roll along a 2 meter section of level track and go up a sloped concrete ramp. She wants to reach a maximum height of at least 3 meters above where she started. She can run with a maximum speed of 8 m/s and has a mass of 50 kg. Will this trick work?
Tarzan and Jane
As a good physicist and a helicopter parent, you would like to check if your children's cartoons present correct physics. In one cartoon, Tarzan is in peril from a stampede of wildebeests. Lucky for him, Jane is nearby. She grabs a vine and swings down to a stationary Tarzan to save him. At the bottom of the swing, she grabs him. They both continue to swing to safety up to a height which looks to be about one-third that of Jane's original height. It appears that Tarzan has twice the mass of Jane. Decide if you are going to let your children watch this cartoon based on whether or not it is correct physics.
You are in charge of designing a racetrack. It has already been determined that the track will be circular and have a diameter of 1 mile. The owners would like cars to be able to drive in a circle at 110 mph without depending on friction.
Calculate the angle of the banking of the track.
If a car drives at 170 mph, calculate the minimum static coefficient of friction necessary to do so. You may ignore all forces from the air.
A ball is attached to a string (extentionless and massless, of course) of length L. The string is attached to a frictionless pivot point. When the string is vertical, the ball is a distance h above the horizontal ground. The ball and string are released from rest at an angle Θ1
from the -y axis (Θ1 < 90°) and the string is straight. You may place a sharp knife somewhere so that it cuts the string and allows the ball to launch from a chosen angle, Θ2. Derive a symbolic expression (in terms of the given variables and possibly other constants such as g) for the following:
Launch speed
Landing speed
Height attained after launch as measured from the ground
Height attained after launch as measured from the launch point
Time of flight
Horizontal distance as measured from a fixed location on the ground which is directly below the ball and string when they hang vertically
Horizontal distance as measured from the launch point
Now set L = 2.00 m, h = 0.50 m, and Θ1 = 40°. Calculate the maximum possible value and the Θ2 necessary to do so for each of the above quantities. You should end up with 7 symbolic solutions, 7 calculations of maximum, and 7 calculations of Θ2.
Yes, this is a very tough problem. This means that there is an opportunity for extra credit if you do excellent work.
Traffic Accident
Your friend is going to court to determine fault in an automobile accident in Paris, Texas. She thinks that the other car was speeding and she was not. She is looking to you for help to prove her assertion. During discovery, the following evidence is presented, none of which is disputed by the other driver:
Weather records indicate that there was no rain the day of the collision
Your friend was traveling north just before the collision and the other car was traveling east
The two cars got stuck together and remained so after the collision while skidding to a stop
The speed limit on both roads is 45 mph
The accident occurred on level ground
Measurements of skid marks created after the collision indicate that the cars skidded 50 feet at an angle of 30 degrees north of east before stopping
According to driver's manuals, your friend's car weighs 2400 lbs and the other car weighs 2000 lbs. Each driver weighs 150 lbs and there was no significant cargo
A physics textbook indicates that the coefficient of kinetic friction for rubber on dry pavement is 0.80
What can an analysis of the physics of this collision and aftermath tell the court regarding the speeds of each of the vehicles before they collided?
Joey Joey took a stone
And knocked
And whoosh! it swizzled
Down so hard,
And bloomp! it bounced
In his backyard,
And glunk! it landed
On his toe!
And the world was dark,
And the corn wouldn't grow,
And the wind wouldn't blow,
And the cock wouldn't crow,
And it always was
All because
Of a stone
And Joe.
-Shel Silverstein
How fast did Joey have to throw a stone to hit the sun? Ignore air resistance. The stone need not make the sun land in his backyard.
Rotating Rod
A rod of length L and mass m is attached to a pivot at one end. The rod is rotated to an angle of nearly 90 degrees above horizontal and released from rest. It is observed to rotate to horizontal. At the instant of release:
find the moment of inertia of the rod rotating about the fixed end
find the magnitude of the torque on the rod
find the magnitude of the angular velocity of the rod
find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the rod
find the magnitude of the velocity of the tip of the rod
find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of the tip of the rod
find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the rod
find the vertical acceleration of the tip of the rod
find the horizontal acceleration of the tip of the rod
find the vertical acceleration of the center of the rod
find the horizontal acceleration of the of the center of the rod
find the x and y components of the force exerted by the pivot point
At the instant just before the rod hits the ground:
find the magnitude of the angular velocity of the rod (hint: use conservation of energy)
compare the above value to g and thoroughly explain any difference
At some angle θ above horizontal:
find the horizontal acceleration of the center of the rod
All solutions must be in terms of g, L, m, and
Θ¸. Show your work, but place the results of your solution in a table like the following:
Any Θ
Θ = 90° (vertical)
Θ = 0° (horizontal)
atan (tip)
acp (tip)
ay (tip)
At what angle above horizontal will the magnitude of the vertical acceleration of the tip of the rod be equal to g?
At what angle above horizontal will the magnitude of the vertical acceleration of the tip be a maximum? What is the maximum acceleration? How can it be greater than g?
Rotating Rod 2
A rod of length L and mass m is attached to a pivot at one end. The rod is attached to a point mass (mass M) at some location on the rod. The rod is rotated to an angle of θ degrees above horizontal and released from rest.
Calculate the position of the point mass (in terms of L) so that the angular acceleration is identical to that without the ball attached. Hint: there is another solution besides zero.
Boxed Pendulum
Design a pendulum with a period of 5.00 s that will function inside a 1 m3 cube. It must work in an inertial reference frame on Earth. Do not use any springs,
magnets, or charged objects.
Hint: a simple, small-angle pendulum will not work.
Sinking Balloon
How deep would a typical balloon need to pulled down
into the ocean so that it would sink instead of float?
You may make the following assumptions:
Hints: determine the following in order (don't worry
about waiting until the end to plug in numbers):
Pendulum Altimeter
You are given a stopwatch and a simple pendulum of length 2.00000 m. The pendulum can undergo 100 oscillations before they become too small to notice. You know that your stopwatch
uncertainty is about 0.10 s. How high must you climb in order to detect a significant difference in the period of the pendulum?
Dropped Rock
Suppose you drill a hole through the center of the Earth all the way to the other side and then drop a rock.
Hints: Assume that the Earth has uniform density and that the hole doesn't have any air. Only the matter in the sphere closer to the center than the rock exerts a net gravitational force on the rock. Ignore the rotation of the Earth.
Bobbing in Mercury
A cube of iron of height Y is released just below the surface of a large vat of mercury. The top face of the cube is parallel to the surface of the mercury.
Determine the time it takes the cube to return to the point of release
in terms of the dimensions of the cube and empirical
constants. Assume that the drag force of the mercury and the buoyant force of the air are negligible.
in a Bowl
A small, solid ball is near the bottom of a hemispheric bowl of
radius 13 cm. It rolls without sliding to the other side
of the bowl. Determine the time it takes to do so.
Sound and Speed
You've been hired as a consultant to the police department to design a new device that measures the speed of vehicles. The idea is to make a small, rugged device to be placed in the road that will pick out a specific frequency emitted by the car as it approaches and then measure the frequency as it recedes. The device will then use this data to calculate the speed of the car. You are currently in the process of writing a program for the chip in your new device. To complete the program, you need a formula that determines the speed of the car using the measured frequencies. You may also include in your formula any physical constants that you might need.
Exercise Efficiency
Many exercise machines at gyms will provide you with
data on both your power output (usually in watts) and
your metabolic power (usually in Calories/minute; note
the big "C"). The ratio of power output to metabolic
power (be sure to use the same units) is the
manufacturers implicit assumption of the efficiency of
the human body. For you or for someone you know:
Hints: Be sure to distinguish between energy and
power. Power is energy/time. And be careful with units
as many are not SI.
Define temperature. The definition should not be an ordinal definition based on direction of heat flow or a measure of "hotness" or "coldness". It should be something that can be calculated based on other measurable quantities (at least in principle). Do not use the ideal gas law (or variations thereof) as it is only approximate.
Define entropy. Do not simply say it is a measure of disorder which is not a precise mathematical statement. It should be something that can be calculated based on other measurable quantities (at least in principle).
The Maxwell-Boltzmann speed probability distribution is the following:
f(v) = √[(2/π)(m/(kT))^3]v^2*e^[-mv^2/(2kT)]
m = mass
k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.381E-23 J/K
v = speed
T = temperature
Calculate the average speed (vave) and most probable speed (vp). Hints:
Bonus: Find the root-mean-square speed (vrms) in terms of m, k, and T.
Bonus: Find the fraction of protons predicted by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution to have a speed greater than the speed of light (integrate from c to infinity), given a very large temperature, say 7.3E10 K. Find a temperature for which the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution predicts a significant fraction of the particles (you decide the threshold) will have a speed above that of light.
Charged Spheres
Two small spheres are suspended by strings of length L = 1.20 m from a ceiling at points d = 3.20 m apart. They have equal mass of m = 8.00 kg and equal and opposite charge of q = 1.40E-4 C. Calculate the angle or angles the strings make from vertical at equilibrium.
Harvesting Lightning
It has been proposed that lightning be harvested for energy. Measurements of lightning strikes indicate that they have the following average properties (note, these are reasonable approximations):
"Lightning collectors" have the following properties
(I'm just making these up, though I think they are wildly optimistic):
The following economic data are also known (these are very rough estimations):
As an independent energy consultant, it is your job to check if this project is a good investment in either the United States or Congo. Provide a report detailing your assertions and your reasoning. Assume that your audience is investors who have perhaps taken high school physics or college physics many years ago. You will be graded on both the correctness of your physics (and accounting) and your ability to explain the physics to such an audience.
Electron Orbit
Given that the angular momentum of the lowest energy orbit of an electron in orbit in a hydrogen atom is the reduced Planck constant,
h_bar = 1.056E-34 J*s, calculate the radius of its (assumed circular) orbit. Solve symbolically in terms of
h_bar and other known constants (mass, etc.). Plug in your numbers to obtain the radius.
Simple DC Circuit
Given a 9 V battery with internal resistance of 0.80 ohms hooked to a single resistor of variable resistance, calculate and graph the current, potential difference, and power for the variable resistor over the range 0 to 5 ohms. What is the resistance of maximum power? Prove your assertion based on your graph and calculus.
Potential and Field
Given the following graph of potential as a function of x, graph the electric field as a function of x. Provide an exact recipe (dimensions of objects, amount of charge, locations) in order to create such electric potentials and fields.
Electromagnetic Induction
A long wire on the x-axis carries 25 A of current to the right. A rectangular loop (0.70 m wide and 0.80 m height) of 36 gauge copper wire in the x-y plane begins with its center at a location of 0.45 meters directly above the wire. The loop moves in the positive x direction at a constant speed of 0.20 m/s for 5.0 seconds. It then moves in the positive y direction at a constant speed of 0.20 m/s for 5.0 seconds.
Calculate and graph the magnetic flux through the loop as a function of vertical position of the center of the loop. The area vector should be assumed to be on a positive axis.
Calculate and graph the magnetic flux through the loop as a function of time.
Calculate and graph the induced emf in the loop as a function of time.
Calculate and graph the induced current in the loop as a function of time. Use the convention that clockwise currents are negative and counter-clockwise currents are positive.
Calculate and graph the electric power of the loop as a function of time.
Calculate and graph the force on the loop as a function of time.
Hint: the magnetic field is not constant over the entire area of the loop. If you treat the magnetic field as fixed over the entire area, you will certainly lose a great deal of credit on this problem.
AC Circuit
Given figure P35.50 with the values as shown, (a) Calculate the resonant frequency in rad/s. (b) Calculate Z, I, VR, Vc, VL, VRL, and VLC at this frequency. (c) Redo part b for double and half the resonant frequency.

ATLANTA, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Atlanta authorities say they have charged former NBA player Javaris Crittenton with murder in the shooting death of a young woman in April.
Crittenton was believed to be in the Los Angeles area this weekend, and Atlanta police were working with the FBI to take him into custody.
Crittenton was a standout at Georgia Tech and first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2007. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Crittenton bounced around the NBA and was most recently playing for the NBA Development League.
His career took a wrong turn in 2009 when he and teammate Gilbert Arenas pulled guns during a dispute in the Washington Wizards locker room and were suspended for the season.
Police say Crittenton fired shots from a vehicle at a group of people at a shopping mall who he apparently believed had stolen some jewelry from him earlier. One of the rounds struck and killed passerby Jullian Jones.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18's Menaka Doshi, CCI chairman Ashok Chawla promised faster clearance of M&A deals and offered a glimpse into the pending revisions in merger control regulations
The Holcim-Lafarge deal is close to getting final approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI), CCI chairman Ashok Chawla said.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18's Menaka Doshi, Chawla promised faster clearance of M&A deals and offered a glimpse into pending revisions in merger control regulations.
The global merger of Holcim-Lafarge had run into a CCI hurdle. The Indian competition regulator cleared the India leg of that merger on the condition that Lafarge divest assets in eastern India — specifically the Sonadih cement plant and the Jojobera grinding station, totalling approximately five million tonne of cement capacity. Lafarge-Holcim had in fact struck a deal with Birla Corp to sell the two plants for about USD 760 million. But the deal hasn't gone through because government policy doesn't allow transfer of mining lease that was allocated and not won in auction.
When asked what happens if government policy prohibits parties from fulfilling an asset sale ordered by CCI, Chawla said Lafarge-Holcim have come back with a revised proposal. "This is something which is more like black swan event. It is not going to happen every day. It happens very rarely. It happened in this particular case that you are referring to because at one point in time we gave out the order on structural remedy and around the same point in time may be slightly later or so the Mining Act was amended."
The company has now withdrawn the earlier proposal to sell two assets and put a proposal which is more comprehensive, which covers this particular area where issues had emerged from the competition point of view. "So, we are examining that. I presume we will have no objections as long as this part is taken care of and it becomes a wider proposal," Chawla told CNBC-TV18.
"If they go beyond that and sell assets more than X and Y, I presume we can have no objection as long as X and Y go out of their management control and go to somebody who is not otherwise dominant in that region. So, our concern was only that," he added.
Looks like Lafarge will be selling more Indian assets than earlier anticipated. The buzz is that the entire Lafarge India business may get sold.
The outgoing chairman of CCI also said that CCI was working to reduce the time taken to clear merger filings. When merger control regulations were first applied, a merger filing took an average 29 days to clear. That has now gone up to 55 days. And given the recent surge in deal activity, delays were indicative of a pile up. Chawla said approval time will soon come down to 35 days.
"We are now in the process of changing our operating procedure at the level of the officers who examine this. To be able to bring down in the vast majority of the cases, which may really have no major competition concerns, to back to the 30-25 days or so that we used to take earlier and it is only in the maybe 10 percent odd cases which require detailed attention that we will need to take more time," Chawla said.
In the next 3-6 months, a clear change from what has happened will emerge. "Why it has happened is that there were many more filings which were taking place. People were trying to go into details in respect of cases where perhaps there was no great need for intensive study. So, we have brought in a number of changes. We have brought in engagement with parties at the level of group of members, etc., which would enable that the larger perspective is seen before the matter comes to the full commission for a decision," Chawla explained.
CCI is also revising for the fifth time in five years its merger control regulations. Chawla hinted at impending changes!
"There are issues which have come up in terms of who is authorised to file a merger notification particularly in relation to multinational companies, when should a notice be invalidated, should parties be heard before invalidating or not. So, these are questions which have bothered the companies which file under intermediaries and we hope to resolve many of these issues in this round of change of regulation which is ready and is just going to be notified in the next few days," Chawla said.
"But surely if filing is absolutely way off track and doesn't really deserve to be filed, if it is just a sheet of paper which doesn't contain anything let us say, you don't want us to say no, we will not even invalidate that. So, that provision should remain with the regulator. What we are trying to ensure, so that there is no undue hardship, what we are trying to ensure is that it is not used casually, that it is not used without giving adequate opportunity to the parties that file and that we believe is a reasonable and fair middle ground," he added.
These revisions are expected in the next 48 hours — before he leaves office.
Below is the verbatim transcript of the interview..
Doshi: I am going to start by talking about merger control regulations which came into force around the same time that you took over at the CCI and in that period of time you all have cleared over 365 merger filings and only in three cases have you asked for any remedies. For your assessment of how the merger control regime has run so far?
Chawla: As you mentioned we have handled close to 400 cases so far but a lot of the cases which have come and there are reasons for that a lot of the cases have been those which involve intra-group restructuring, sale of equity etc which without much impact on the competitive landscape. So, we therefore not felt the need to go in detail into many of those cases and it is only in a few of those that we have delved deep.
Doshi: Would you say that the current merger control regulations are good enough to deal with both the influx of cases and the type of cases coming into the CCI or would you call for changes to the merger control regulations. You had already told me in a previous interview that we did in the middle of last year that in fact the exemption threshold for target enterprises expires in March 2016, i.e. the notification regarding that comes to an end in March 2016, can we expect to see some changes when it comes to exemption thresholds?
Chawla: The exemption thresholds and the notification that you are talking about is something which the government handles. They do consult us and it will be a call which of course the government will take at the end of the day but looking into the fact that business and industry need a shot in the arm that the ease of doing business is very critical for the Indian economy at this stage and the government is focussing on that. I would think that there is perhaps a case for the notification and the exemption which it brings in its wake to continue for some more time. That is also useful from the point of view of the competition commission. In that it will give us the bandwidth and the time and energy to focus on cases which are really big and important.
Doshi: In your opinion do you think that there is a case to be made for enhancing the exemption limits thereby asking for fewer transactions to come to the CCI in the case of merger control?
Chawla: It may not be a bad idea, I agree.
Doshi: In the last 4 years we have seen 4 revisions to merger control regulations, the last one being in the middle of last year which was 2015 and from what I understand a fifth one is already in the offing. What I hear is that this 5th set of revisions might pertain to introduced in the last round which has to do with invalidation. However before I get to invalidation let me ask you an open ended question, what is it that you are hoping to rectify in this 5th round?
Chawla: Each round of modification and changes to the regulations we have attempted to make the process more user friendly. So, that philosophy induced the 5th round which as you said is in the works and is round the corner. So, there are issues which have come up in terms of who should be filing the or who is authorised to file a merger notification particularly in relation to multi-national companies, when should a notice be validated, should parties be heard before invalidating or not. So, these are questions which have bothered the companies which file and they are intermediaries. We hope to resolve many of these issues in this round of change of regulations which is ready and is just going to be notified in the next few days.
Doshi: It is interesting that you are looking to revise the invalidation provision because when you introduced it, when you introduced the concept in the draft merger regulation amendments last year there was a considerable amount of criticism. I had put that to you in a previous interview when we spoke of it and you had said that the philosophy or objective behind this is very often we get filing which are incomplete, which do not give the entire picture. So, there is a lot of to and fro between our people and the CCI and companies or their lawyers who have filed. So, what we really want is the there should be a little bit more rigour and discipline in the filings which take place. You have defended the idea of introducing invalidations. I am told since then there have been about 18 merger filing that have been invalidated and you are now reviewing invalidation? Would you consider doing away with altogether or amending the provision to allow for let us say more clarity as to what would be invalidated or more clarity on how hearing regarding invalidation would proceed?
Chawla: We thought that invalidation was necessary so that we could bring in more rigour and discipline in the fillings that take place and the commission and its officers get the kind of material which they need to able to concentrate and focus quickly in a case. We found that very often it tends to get into a different loop and sometimes invalidation takes place may be where it is not entirely necessary etc. There were protests then, there are protests now. So, while we are retaining the provision what we do want to ensure is that we give the parties a hearing so that they know what our view point is and if they are going to correct it and remedy it immediately then that process, that burden is lessened for them.
Doshi: But that was the feedback that you all got last year when you attempted to introduce this provision and you didn't put it in then. So, I am just curious to know why it has taken six months to recognise that some of the concerns raised about invalidation were fairly legitimate concerns?
Chawla: But shouldn't you be happy that the regulators at least have taken notice of that in a reasonably short period of time of six months and realise that yes, this is reasonably fair.
Doshi: The other thing that I am told might come up for consideration when you look to amend the merger control regulations is more clarity on filing triggers?
Chawla: There will be clarity on what is the trigger point in terms of the other document but on market transactions and whether they form part of the transactions as a whole and whether it is linked in any manner etc will necessarily depend on the facts and circumstances of each case.
So, where it is in preparation of and it is integral to the overall transaction then it will be taken as something which should have served as a trigger. So, I don't think there can be very clear boxes to determine these kind of things. Very often it will depend on what the facts are.
Doshi: Could you elaborate on what clarity we can expect on the other documents that might serve as filing triggers?
Chawla: We have a provision which says that if they have notified to any of the other regulators etc then that serves as a trigger. There is a proposal to amend that and reduce it to only one of the triggers relating to the transaction in relation to the market interests where the minority investors are concerned. So, probably we will stick to that but I will still request that please wait for the final version to come out.
Doshi: I want to come back to the two instances in merger control where the CCI has ordered structural remedies. The first one was a Sun Pharma-Ranbaxy transaction and the second one was the global merger of Holcim and Lafarge which had implications in India. Now, interestingly in the Lafarge situation CCI has ordered the divestment of certain assets to remedy the ill effects of this global merger. But government policy is proving to be a hurdle in the ability for the company to be able to sell those assets because the plants cannot be sold with the mining leases because the transfer of such mining leases is currently not permitted under government policy. Thereby, in short, the structural remedy that CCI directed is proving to be at this point in time difficult or impractical to adhere to. I am asking for your views not specific to this case but otherwise on what happens when CCI asks for a structural remedy that somehow government policy makes difficult to fulfil?
Chawla: Whether it is this case or any other case, if it so happens that by the time we give out a structural remedy which is an order of the commission but that is pre-empted so to say by a legal change then obviously the parties will have to comply with the legal change which is the situation in this particular matter.
This is something which is more like black swan event. It is not going to happen every day. It happens very rarely. It happened in this particular case that you are referring to because at one point in time we gave out the order on structural remedy and around the same point in time may be slightly later or so the mining act was amended. So, these kind of situations don't arise in normal cases. They have arisen in this case and I think the process on the part of the company to come back with an alternative proposal is already on the table. So, that is not a major issue but to go back to your point which is a larger issue the law of the land which may change necessarily has to be kept in mind in terms of application.
Doshi: So, will it be fair for me to assume and understand based on your response that CCI is reviewing the structural remedy that it had ordered in this matter based on what the party has sort of offered as an alternative?
Chawla: Yes, we are in the sense that the earlier proposal was to sell two assets, then the company has withdrawn that and put a proposal which is more comprehensive, which covers this particular area where we had issues from the competition point of view. So, we are examining that. I presume we will have no objections as long as this part is taken care of and it becomes a wider proposal on the part of the company which has been asked to divest.
Doshi: Could you share some more details with us because what you asked for was the divestment of certain assets in those regions or markets where you thought that the combination might in fact lead to anti competitive behaviour. What is it that they are proposing to do that might nullify the concern of your without actually in fact selling off those particular plants that you had ordered sold?
Chawla: If they go beyond that and sell assets more than X and Y, I presume we can have no objection as long as X and Y go out of their management control and go to somebody who is not otherwise dominant in that region. So, our concern was only that and if that is met but they go beyond that specified threshold I suppose there cannot be any objection conceptually.
Doshi: For now I want to move to what is often referred to in competition law jargon as behavioural cases. I am going to start by asking you for your assessment on how the CCI has fared in acting against both abuse of dominance as well as cartel matters?
Chawla: We have made a reasonable start but I think we perhaps could have done better and maybe we should be doing better in the years to come. Let me elaborate by saying that partly not too many substantive major cases have been brought to our notice. Number two, given our constraints we haven't been able to generate good cases, robust cases suo moto which the law does allow us to do.
Thirdly, we have in the cases that have come taken quite a bit of time in terms of the investigation at the level of director general and then once the judicial process takes over which has its own dynamism, it has taken quite some time. So, therefore I would say that both in terms of the complaints or information which have come to the commission in behaviour cases we have not been particularly lucky or we haven't received too many and our quality as well as perhaps the speed has not been what it should be in the years to come. May be this is a symptom of the teething troubles which a new organisation or body goes through. Perhaps the time is now ripe for this to move on to the next stage.
Doshi: What would you mean by teething troubles? Why is it that you have not been able to initiate as many cases suo moto as you would have liked?
Chawla: The law does give us the flexibility to find and generate cases on our own if we feel that there is a matter which needs to be looked into, but given the fact that we are quite stretched as it is in terms of the internal capacity and certainly the investigation capabilities, the number of suo moto cases have not been more than 5-10 percent of the total number of cases.
While the suo moto cases are no substitute for what should normally be coming from parties which are affected, they can contribute to that stream. So, on both sides even the fillings that take place are totally inadequate for a country of the size of India, for a USD 2 trillion economy, for the fact that there are lots of businesses which I presume are suffering from various dimensions of anti-competitive behaviour be it agreements, cartels or unilateral conduct of major companies but cases don't seem to be coming.
Doshi: But one thing I know lawyers credit you with is the issue of competitive neutrality. One lawyer told me that ever since Mr Chawla has taken over there has been no discrimination between public and private sector, that they are both treated on a level playing field and that is exemplified by the penalty that you imposed on Coal India, the Rs 1,800 crore penalty almost and the subsequent orders that you have made against public sector organisations, how difficult has that been, because this is a country in which the government is very involved in the business of business?
Chawla: That in fact is nice to hear a lawyer say something good about a regulator. It doesn't happen every day, so, thanks for that. But on a serious note I don't think it has been difficult at all. The law very clearly allows us to go into every area, whatever be the pattern and structure of ownership and where we have found that there are serious matters where there is reasonable amount of evidence which is available we have taken action and the commission has not been either shy on its own or restrained by any kind of signals anywhere in pursuing the agenda on competitive neutrality. In fact if we don't go down that route then whatever little credibility we are trying to build up will fall by the wayside because then people will say that this commission is active and aggressive only when it comes to private corporate sector but when it comes to government ownership it sort of holds its hands and that is no good.
Doshi: In your experience over the last five years have you found that the government owned organisations are as much violators of competition law and competition policy as the private sector or in fact they may be even worse because in many sector which the government is present in it has a dominant position?
Chawla: Yes, I would say they are as much violators, perhaps even more for two reasons. One, some of them still don't really understand that there is a competition law and that there are competition principles which need to be adhered to. More than that a small minority probably also feels that okay, even if this is the law and this is something that they should not be doing but they kind of have the blessings of the state, this has gone on for years. So, what is going to happen, nothing is going to change. So, we continue to do business as we were doing and there will always be somebody standing behind us who will sort of protect us. So, for that reason they are as much defaulters if not more than their friends and colleagues on the other side of the fence.
Doshi: I do want to come to my final theme and that is institutional capabilities and processes. The first one I am going to talk about is the average time taken whether it is for merger, filling clearance or even cartel cases which I am told are often delayed. Now in merger filing clearances I am told that the average time CCI used to take at the beginning of the imposition of the merger control regulations was about 29 days. You yourself have alluded in a previous answer that, that timeline has now stretched to about 55 days. In your amended regulations you have bought yourself 60 days. What has gone wrong, why is it taking so much more time and should we be worried because now the burden of the number of M&A cases coming to the CCI has increased. In fact your office has put out numbers that show that the number of fillings has increased every single month over the last several months?
Chawla: We are now in the process of changing our operating procedure at the level of the officers who examine this to be able to bring down in the vast majority of the cases which may really have no major competition concerns to back to the 30-35 days or so that we used to take earlier and it is only in the maybe 10 percent odd cases which require detailed attention that we will need to take more time. So, you should watch this space and in the next 3-6 months you will see a clear change from what has happened and why it has happened is that there were many more filings which were taking place. Our people were trying to go into details in respect of even cases where perhaps there was no great need for intensive study. So, we have brought in a number of changes. We have brought in engagement with the parties at the level of group of members etc which would enable that the larger perspective is seen before the matter comes to the full commission for a decision.

This group does not have any discussions yet.
I graduated from a hardcore Church of Christ college in the spring. A lot of the folks were great, but there were some weird rules. If you were gay, you got expelled. Alcohol? Expelled. Sex? Expelled. I think that about half the students were Christians, and the other half were sent there to become Christians.
Woohoo! Yet another joins the fray! Seriously though, welcome to the cool kids club.
I am so glad to see that I am not alone up here in Northern Arkansas!
Well, I'm glad there are more than just two. I'm stuck in an Episcopal school, so I don't really know other Atheists. Be great if we could get more high school students like myself on this. If we get enough people, we might be able to have Carrier speak after all.
I would LOVE to go to the Reason Rally. But with a job and baby, there's no time or money. I was hoping to get Richard Carrier to speak in Jonesboro, but nobody here wants an Atheist to speak. I thought the philosophy or history dept. would be interested, but nope, and there's only 13 people here that will even admit being Atheist.
Just wish there was a way to get to the Reason Rally. Anyway, welcome to thinkatheist.
I was looking for Northeast Arkansas Atheists, but I found this group. Hopefully more will join!

You call your lawyer. All businesses that succeed have lawyers, so I assume you have one (iuf not, you already made a critical mistake - signing a commercial lease without a lawyer is an awful idea). The lawyer will read the exact language, which is necessary to be read to answer you.

I gave a talk to the Alaska Bar Association's International Law Section a couple of weeks ago. My topic was What Lawyers MUST Know About China, but if I had given it a subtitle, it would have been "the biggest mistakes foreign lawyers make when dealing with China."
Here's the outline I used, with a few additions/clarifications in italics. This is very much a bare-bones outline, but it does highlight some of the most common and dangerous mistakes one can make by thinking "China's laws just can't be that different."
1. Company Formation
— Spend after formation — Companies too often spend money too soon for their expenditures to apply to the minimum capital requirement.
— Is it legal? On a number of of occasions, my firm has been called in to register a WFOE for a US company that has already spent substantial sums scoping out the Chinese market, without knowing that what they propose to do in China is illegal.
2. Contracts
— Who's your counterparty? Spend a little, save a lot. Be diligent with your Due Diligence.
— Arbitration is the only solution, except when it's not.
— Can you say litigation carve out?
— Arbitration clauses ain't easy
— How to get your Christmas lights before Christmas. If you do not put it in your contract, you should pretty much assume it does not exist.
— You want your molds back? You had better make clear in writing that they belong to you.
— Contract language/Arbitration language — If you are going to be in a Chinese court, your contract should probably be in Chinese. If you are going to be arbitrating before CEITAC and you want it to be in English, you need to state this in the contract.
3. Intellectual Property
— Register early and often, except patents
— NDAs are not DOA
— It's more than just legal.
4. Joint Ventures
— Why, why, why? The Peoria test.
— Control is always critical yet nearly always illusory. Check out co-blogger Steve Dickinson's AmCham article and his speech at the recent JP Morgan China Conference on this.
5. Labor Law
— How does tenure for everyone sound?
6. Choosing Your Lawyer
— English and Guanxi. Both are very much overrated.
— Lawyer ethics and confidentiality. Be careful.
7. The law is everything and nothing
— Bankruptcy law. Try it.
— Antitrust law. You've got to be kidding.
— New Company law. Yes, but.
— Labor Law. Who stole my regs?
— Ex post facto. Sure, why not?
— Obsolescence at warp speed.

The last statement in my example code from my school book, document.write("Thank you!" + BR); is not displaying and I'm not certain why. I'm taking a course and I am using the book's sample code to practice.
I have narrowed it down to the html tags nested within the script (in the middle, not at the beginning). Although I feel the root of the problem lies with the "creating of the account object" that falls right before the, "Thank you!" statement.
Using the sandbox from danml.com, I was able to remove or comment the aforementioned html tags and the script appeared to execute in its entirety, displaying "Thank you!"
I'm certain though, that this snippet of code is needed in some form or fashion to properly execute the remaining code.
If I leave it missing, I get an error that my account deposit function is not a function.
If I put the html tags back, it stops after displaying the program's purpose and refuses to display the "Thank you!" statement.
I'm just a student, so be gentle. Here is the example code from the book:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Program name: AccountClass.html

HAVE you ever noticed how many of our industry leaders are former apprentices? asks James Ramsbotham, chief executive of the North-East Chamber of Commerce.
So many of our pioneering businesses are led by men and women who started their working lives on the shop floor with little skill and less experience, but were, and still are, bursting with enthusiasm.
Apprenticeships instil pride as well as equipping young people with the knowledge and experience required to carve out successful careers in their chosen field. The pride is often born from the familiarity the person feels with the business and its workforce, having worked their way through various levels and departments of the same firm.
Loading article content
Our own President, Dave Laws, worked his way from apprentice at the fire station at Newcastle International Airport to the position of Chief Executive.
At NECC we pride ourselves for being able to marry keen young talent with companies eager to develop a proactive, energetic workforce.
The National Apprenticeship Service and the North East Chamber of Commerce are working with 29 sponsors to once again deliver this year's Apprenticeship Challenge.
The Challenge is to encourage as many employers as possible to recruit as many apprentices as possible, over a 100 day period. We have been incredibly successful with this in recent years, and we need this year to be just as good, if not better.
We need our businesses to engage in the training agenda and encourage the firms that currently don't take apprentices to consider what fresh, enthusiastic young people could bring to their business, sector and the North East business community generally.
We want our members to lead the way in establishing the future workforce, training the next generation of business leaders and eliminating the potential skills gaps that could hold back regional economic growth.
There are thousands of job-ready young people and a host of financial incentives for firms signing up apprentices. NECC's job is to make the process as pleasurable as possible and ensure the right person finds the ideal business.
For many companies apprenticeships are a critical way of training young people and adults to fill specific roles within their organisations, helping both the individual and business develop together.
Hopefully the 2014 Apprenticeship Challenge will be the most successful yet and maybe a handful of the young people we match up with North east businesses will one day look back with great fondness, from a lofty position in their organisations, about their time serving an apprenticeship.

OverviewWeston Mountain is a peak located in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The summit is on the Southeast end of Nun-Da-Ga-O Ridge also known as the Soda Range. The mountain, located in the Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area, boasts an expansive view of Hurricane Mtn, Lost Pond and many of the Adirondack High Peaks.
Getting ThereThe main trailhead for this area is at the end of O'Toole Rd/Ln in Keene, NY. From Rt. 73 in the village of Keene, take Hurricane Rd (Cty Rte 13) to a left on O'Toole Rd/Ln and follow to the parking area (known as Crow Clearing) at the end of the Rd.
This hike can be approached in 3 ways, it can be done as a loop from the Crow Clearing trailhead in either direction, or as an out and back.
The most direct route to the summit is as follows:
From the trailhead take the trail towards Lost Pond/Hurricane Mtn. The trail starts very gently and crosses a couple brooks. In 1.1 miles there is lean-to and a junction with the Hurricane Mtn trail. Continue straight for another .7 miles to the shore of Lost Pond. Continue around the pond another .3 miles (sections of the trail can be quite muddy here) to the Biesemeyer Lean-To at the far end of the pond. From here up to the summit is a short steep hike, but it's officially an unmaintained trail (although it's still has old markers and is relatively easy to follow.) Enjoy the view from the summit ledge and return the way you came or complete the loop across the Nun-Da-Ga-O Ridge (Caution: Officially unmaintained trail.) (Approx. 4.8 Miles RT 1000-1100ft elev. gain or 6.5 miles as a loop)
Red TapeAs always sign in at the trailhead.
If planning on hiking the entire Nun-Da-Ga-O Ridge, a map and compass are recommended as the trail is officially unmaintained.
CampingThere are Lean-to's located 1.1 miles in (Gulf Brook) and about 2 miles in (Biesemeyer) at Lost Pond.
Otherwise, Normal DEC backcountry camping regulations apply and can be found HERE
