Who needs the Boater Education Card?
It's the Law!
Boating safety education certificates are required of the following operators:
- Persons 12 through 15 years of age may operate a PWC provided the operator has completed a boating education course approved by Utah State Parks and Recreation, has in his or her possession the certificate issued by the course provider, and is under the direct supervision of a responsible person who is at least 18 years old.
- Persons 16 through 17 years of age may operate a PWC provided the operator has completed a boating education course approved by Utah State Parks and Recreation and has in his or her possession the certificate issued by the course provider.
- Motorized boats and sailboats may be operated by a person under 16 years of age only if they are under the direct supervision of a responsible person who is at least 18 years old.
You Must Carry the Card
Vessel operators who are required to have a Boater Education Card must carry the card on board the vessel and have it available for inspection by an enforcement officer.
All states that have mandatory boater education requirements will accept the Boating Safety Education Certificate. Likewise, Utah will accept boating education cards that are issued by states that meet NASBLA requirements.
Is the Boating Card the same as a Boating License?
The Utah Boater Education Card is proof that you have successfully completed an approved boating safety course. Since the boater education card does not expire and does not need to be renewed, it is not called the Utah Boating License.
I do not have a driver's license. Can I still get the Utah Boater Education Card?
Yes. You are not required to have a state driver's license in order to obtain a Boater Education Card.
Quick Links
How do I get a card?
Get your card in 3 easy steps.
Complete the Course
Step One: Register for the course, study the free online course material, and pass the Utah Final Exam. (If you don't pass on the first try, don't worry. Keep taking the Final Exam for free until you pass.)
Print Temporary Certificate
Step Two: After passing and paying the $34.50 course fee, you'll instantly print out a temporary certificate, which is your temporary operating permit to operate legally on Utah waters while you wait for your permanent card to arrive.
Get on the Water!
Step Three: Your Utah Boater Education Card will arrive in the mail in 7-10 business days. While waiting, your temporary certificate (the Boating Safety Education Certificate) you printed in Step Two will serve as your proof to legally operate on Utah waters.
How do I get a replacement card?
For a replacement Utah Boating Safety Education Certificate, call the Utah State Parks at 801-538-7246 and request a duplicate card.
Alternatively, you can print, fill out, and mail in the Utah Boating Education Replacement Certificate Form (PDF download) from the Utah State Parks website.
How do I get my state boating license?
You may have heard that you need the Utah Boat License to operate your boat, but what you really need is the Boating Safety Education Certificate. You can get the Boating Safety Education Certificate by taking this Boat License Safety course at boat-ed.com. Find out if you need the card.

Current Projects:
I am a specialist in nineteenth century United States history with a research focus on the Civil War. My current project is a study of the central Ohio River Valley during the secession crisis.
I am also conducting research on the discrepancies between how community college students self-report their academic preparedness and their actual performance. Will the way in which they view their level of preparedness change after completing an undergraduate survey course in history?
Education and History:
B.A., History and Political Science, Grove City College, 1985
M.S., International Relations, Troy State University, 1992
M.A., History, University of Maryland Baltimore County, 2002
Ph.D., History, University of Tennessee, 2011
When I'm not guiding undergraduates through the fascinating world of history, I enjoy spending time with my family, cheering for the Red Sox and Patriots, keeping the weeds in my front yard under control, and working on the proverbial "honey-do" list.

Business support system
Business support systems (BSS) are the components that a telephone operator or telco uses to run its business operations towards customer. BSS and OSS platforms are linked in the need to support various end to end services. Each area has its own data and service responsibilities.
Role of business support systems[edit]
Basically it deals with the taking of orders, payment issues, revenues etc. The role of business support systems in a service provider is to cover four main areas:
- Product management
- Order management
- Revenue management
- Customer management
Product management[edit]
Product management supports product development, the sales and management of products, offers and bundles to businesses and mass-market customers. Product management regularly includes offering cross-product discounts, appropriate pricing and managing how products relate to one another.
Customer management[edit]
Service providers require a single view of the customer and regularly need to support complex hierarchies across customer-facing applications (customer relationship management). Customer management also covers requirements for partner management and 24x7 web-based customer self-service. Customer management can also be thought of as full-fledged customer relationship management systems implemented to help customer care agents handle the customers in a better and more informed manner.
Revenue management[edit]
Revenue management is a BSS focus on billing, charging and settlement, that can handle any combination of OSS services, products and offers. BSS revenue management supports OSS order provisioning and often partner settlement.Billing is an integral function offered by BSS systems and is not under the purview of Operation Support Systems.
Order management[edit]
Order management as a beginning of assurance is normally associated with operations support systems though business support systems are often the business driver for fulfillment management and order provisioning.
Order management encompasses four broad areas in general -
Order decomposition - This process details the rules for decomposing a Sales Order into multiple work orders or service orders. For example, a Triple Play Telco Sales order with three services - land line, Internet and wireless can be broken down into three sub-orders - one for each line of business. Each of the sub-orders will be fulfilled separately in its own provisioning systems. However, there may be dependencies in each sub-order - e.g. - an Internet sub-order can be fulfilled only when the Land line has been successfully installed, provisioned and activated in the customer premise.

Our Ultimate CES Video: The 7-Second Beer
Our own "young man of blogging" Kyle took the P.U.B. challenge in Las Vegas on the last night of CES. The contest? You have to drink a full pint in seven seconds. While I dropped out near the end, Kyle pounded through and achieved a feat that many men would be too timid to undertake.

Yeah, all of your favorite bands now put their albums out on vinyl—except for Edward Sharpe, bummer!—but nothing signals that the once outmoded medium is really enjoying a comeback than this: David Sedaris is releasing his new audiobook on vinyl. What was once the realm of the indie underground has gone NPR mainstream.
"Live for Your Listening Pleasure," which goes on sale January 5, has a cover that features a sexy woman, stretched out on soft cushions, surrounded by uncovered records. (Hey lady, take better care of your music!) It looks like an old record, a cross between "Bringing it All Back Home" and the soundtrack to a 70s swingers party: isn't that funny? The publisher sure hopes so.
"The senior vice president for digital and audio publishing at the Hachette Book Group said she was drawn to the idea precisely because it was quirky," the Times reported. "Mr. Sedaris' 'audience is very attuned to irony and is going to find this funny.'"
And the record will only feature two of the five tracks that are on the CD! That's the funniest part of all! (In fairness, it will include a coupon for free mp3 downloads...but still.)

Vajazzling: The act of applying glitter and jewels to a woman's nether regions for aesthetic purposes.
Don't worry ladies. You don't put rhinestones right on your labia. They're glued to the pubic area; more specifically the vulva. This is typically done after getting a full, Brazilian, wax. It's no different than using temporary cosmetic adhesive to any other part of your body. Typically this has been done on the arms, around the eyes, on the neck, and legs. Our website is an entire vajazzling beginner's guide.
Read our Vajazzling FAQ to learn about all the common questions:
- Will vajazzling hurt the man?
- How long do the vajazzling crystals stay on?
- Can I vajazzle over my tattoos?
- Where exactly do the vajazzling crystals go?
- What happens when the hair grows back?
- Is vajazzling for real?
- What kind of adhesive can be used?
- Is vajazzling safe?
The term "vajazzling" was coined by Jennifer Love Hewitt. It can also be spelled "vagazzling". Here's the now infamous interview on Lopez Tonight with George Lopez where she first described crystalling her "precious lady":
On January 12th, 2010 Hewitt started a trend with this conversation.
Jennifer Love Hewitt: There's a chapter in there that I think you'll like and it's called vajazzling. After a break up a friend of mine Swarovski crystalled my precious lady and it shined like a disco ball ... women should vajazzle their vajajays.
Lopez: [Gets on his knees and kisses her hands] You are the crystal Ghandi in my eyes.
JLH: It looks like a little disco ball down there.Lopez: WHo said disco sucked? I think it's beautiful. Are you currently vajazzled?
JLH: I am currently vajazzled. Yes.Lopez: When this interview is down take this chair and hide it.
JLH: But for the ladies it really... I was feeling aweful I had been through a horrible breakup and I was like awe this is just aweful and I need something to make myself feel better and it was the one thing I had never tried before after a breakup. So I gave it a try and it's great. It's cute. I could vajazzle your goatee. We could bedazzle it.
Lopez: But that seems kinda irritating for the dude.
JLH: I've had no complaints.

by Adam Chitwood Posted 20 days ago
Saturday Night Live has lined up a fantastic trio of hosts for its December shows. Paul Rudd will kick off his third appearance as host on December 7th with musical guest One Direction, no doubt promoting Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues; could a Will Ferrell cameo be in the cards? Next up is Inside Llewyn Davis star John Goodman making his 13th appearance on December 14th with musical guest Kings of Leon. Finally, SNL will finish strong with the promising duo of Jimmy Fallon as host and Justin Timberlake as musical guest on December 21st. Not a bad way to get ready for the holidays.

Paramount and DreamWorks announced a separation agreement this afternoon that wraps up their nasty relationship. Of course, this is Hollywood baby, so both sides are expected to remain friends - sort of. As part of the deal, the companies will be partners on 30-40 of the 200 projects that DreamWorks has in development. Of those, DreamWorks takes the lead in developing 15-20 (Paramount will have the option to co-finance and co-distribute). THR says that the list includes several Spielberg projects, such as "Lincoln," "Trial of the Chicago Seven" and "The 39 Clues." Spielberg and co-chairman/CEO Stacey Snider are in the process of forming a new company, with equity from India's Reliance BIG Entertainment (plus $700 million that JPMorgan Chase & Co. is putting together). Perhaps the biggest news is that this pretty much does it for David Geffen and DreamWorks. He will not be part of the new company.
Although Hollywood's chattering class had predicted that dividing up the project stockpile would lead to prolonged and contentious negotiations, the actual resolution came relatively swiftly once the DreanWorks principals announced their departure. During the past two weeks, Viacom's general counsel Michael Fricklas and Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore worked out the details with DreamWorks founder David Geffen and attorney Skip Brittenham, with a final sign-off coming Friday night. The settlement jumpstarts the new DreamWorks' production efforts, while also assuring that Spielberg retains a number which he didn't want to surrender. It also keeps product flowing through Paramount's distribution pipeline and enables the studio to call upon Spielberg's services on select titles.

The 2009 vintage enjoyed a balanced growing season with plenty of good weather, which allowed us to pick our Riesling grapes at full maturity. The juice is cold-fermented until just the right amount of sugar has been converted to alcohol, then racked and filtered to leave the desired amount of residual sweetness. Our Riesling is lower in alcohol than typical table wines, because a portion of the grape sugar is left unfermented.
Our 2009 Riesling has aromas and flavors of lemon and fig, with a strong floral component. The wine is finished in the medium-sweet range and balanced with ample acidity.
This well-balanced Riesling is an excellent pairing with seafood or and pasta in a cream sauce. The wine also pairs beautifully with mild cheeses.

Chapelle was founded in 1976 and named after La Sainte-Chapelle Church in Paris, France. The winery has grown to produce over 120,000 cases and by adhering to a quality focus, their wines have eraned national and international recognition since the beginning.
An inland state, Idaho has some of the highest altitude vineyards in the United States. With wide fluctuation between night and day temperatures, grapes here are harvested with both high acidities and high sugars, making Riesling especially successful. Other cool climate varieities like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay also thrive. Ste Chappelle dominates the state's industry and is the fifth largest in the Pacific Northwest.
Riesling (REEZ-leeng) The Riesling grape is happiest in a cooler climate, one that fosters its slow and steady ripening. Often assumed to be the producer of only sweet wines, Riesling is a fascinating grape of many faces. From bone dry to lusciously sweet, this variety is delicious at any sugar level with its intense aromas and steely acidity. Most popular in...Read More About Riesling

This is a great product for being so cheap to me its not to big or to small and holds just enough glasses and wine for a semi wine drinker. i love it . its great
The wine rack overall is great. The only thing that makes it a 4 instead of a 5 is the installation instructions and installation itself. The way the rack is designed you definitely need 2 people to install the rack. The rack consists of 3 parts. Two wall brackets and the rack itself. The instructions say to install the brackets first and then once those are screwed in place the rack up. However, you have to have the rack on the brackets before you can install the brackets completely into the wall.However, it is still exactly how it looks and very sturdy.
It is cute, strong enough to hold 6 bottles of wine and easy to mount to wall. Did have to use own screws. It seems everything we order these days have inferior screws (cheap quality and too short!)
Love this wine rack, it was exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't be happier with it.
It's been mounted 2 years, no problems...easy to put up, and as nice as pictured...great price, too!
I was sceptical at first, but I am very happy with my purchase. It displays very nicely and I have received alot of compliments.
Looks great but this was not an easy install, IMO of course. Especially for me since i wanted this to hang at the very center of a particular wall but both sides for mounting fell outside of a stud. We used anchors which help but I still went ahead and supported this right through its center and luckily, through a stud.

Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) has been given the gift of sight, but it comes with a horrifying price in the English-language remake of Danny and Oxide Pang's The Eye.

With the help of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) and sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney's operation and recovery seemed to be on the road to success -- until horrific images start to tear their way into her newfound vision.

The space shuttle has crashed, and investigators assigned to explore the wreckage have found something unimaginable in the debris -- something from the deepest reaches of outer space. Everyone who comes into contact with it soon begins to transform in ways that can't be explained by modern science. While their physical appearance remains completely unaltered, their emotions seem to be drained and their actions become strangely inhuman. The only people who know the truth about this extraterrestrial epidemic are Washington, D.C. psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Kidman) and her longtime friend Dr. Ben Driscoll (Craig).

The contagion is spreading rapidly, and as more people fall victim to its eerie effects by the hour, it becomes impossible to differentiate the infected from those who can still be trusted. When Carol realizes that her young son may hold the only hope for saving the human race, she struggles to remain awake long enough to find the boy and prevent planet Earth from becoming host to a terrifying new breed of extraterrestrials.

Legendary director Martin Scorsese takes the helm for this tale of questionable loyalties and blurring identities set in the South Boston organized crime scene and inspired by the wildly popular 2002 Hong Kong crime film Infernal Affairs. As the police force attempts to reign in the increasingly powerful Irish mafia, authorities are faced with the prospect of sending in an undercover agent or seeing their already frail grip on the criminal underworld slip even further. Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young cop looking to make a name for himself in the world of law enforcement. Collin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a street-smart criminal who has successfully infiltrated the police department with the sole intention of reporting their every move to ruthless syndicate head Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). When Costigan is assigned the task of working his way into Costello's tightly guarded inner circle, Sullivan is faced with the responsibility of rooting out the informer before things get out of hand. With the stakes constantly rising and time quickly running out for the undercover cop and his criminal counterpart, each man must work feverishly to reveal his counterpart before his identity is exposed by the other. Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, and Ray Winstone co-star, and writer William Monahan adapts a screenplay originally penned by Alan Mak and Felix Chong. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It was the sight of startled cows, mooing in a pasture, that convinced Fernandez he'd discovered a special talent.
"This field had a beat-up old left-field fence with all these holes in it," recalled Fernandez, the Rockies' longtime director of international scouting. "Beyond the fence was this pasture with this herd of cows. I watched this kid take batting practice and he kept hitting the ball into the cows. Time after time he hit the cows."
That kid is now a raw rookie catcher turning big-league fastballs into towering home runs.
Rosario's continued development as a hitter, and whether or not he can become a polished presence behind the plate, bears watching in the second half. He's proven he can mash, particularly when he pulls the ball to left field. But his strikeout rate (27.8 percent) is alarming and he's still learning how to use the entire field as a hitter.
As a receiver and game-caller, the 23-year-old Rosario is a major work in progress. His 10 passed balls are the most among National League catchers. But the confident Rosario is certain he will succeed.
"I am going to be a good catcher, I promise, because I'm not afraid of hard work," he said.
Rosario has reveled in the catcher's blue-collar world ever since he was a 9-year-old kid in the Dominican dreaming about becoming the next Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. When he became a teenager, he would swing his bat against an old truck tire, forcing himself to control the bat as it bounced back off the rubber.
"I would take 100 swings a day," Rosario recalled. "My coach told me that it would make my wrists quick and build up my back and shoulders."
But it wasn't just Rosario's raw power that led Fernandez to sign him at age 16.
"What caught my eye was Wilin's high energy and the maximum effort he put into everything he did," Fernandez said.Rosario boldly told Fernandez that he would be in the majors by age 19.
But the road ahead was tougher than he envisioned. After one summer in the Dominican Summer League, Rosario moved up to Casper in the rookie Pioneer League in 2007, but he struggled, hitting just .209 in 34 games.
He returned to Casper in 2008, improving his average to .316 and hitting 12 homers in 66 games. Rosario's 2010 season at Double-A Tulsa ended after 73 games when he underwent reconstructive knee surgery.
He finally got his taste of the big leagues late last season, spending 16 games with the Rockies, hitting .204 with eight RBIs and three homers in 57 plate appearances.
All the while, he retained the enthusiasm and desire to learn that marked his rise up the farm system.
"The thing that impressed me about Wilin wasn't just his power, but the fact that he did everything at 1,000 miles an hour and he had such passion," said Tony Diaz, who was Rosario's mentor in Casper and now manages the Rockies' rookie-league club in Grand Junction.
Diaz's mission was to harness the passion.
"One time we were playing Idaho Falls and Wilin tried to catch the runner off first base," Diaz recalled with a chuckle. "He made this really crazy throw and nearly one-hopped the right-field wall fence. Then he had a passed ball. So in less than three pitches they had a run.
"But the thing I remember most was that when Wilin came into the dugout, he took full responsibility. He said, 'It's my fault, don't worry, I'm going to get better.'"
And he has.
But can he become the complete homegrown catcher the franchise has been waiting for since its inception?
Rockies catching coach Jerry Weinstein said yes.
"We have seen significant progress because of Wilin's willingness to listen and learn," Weinstein said. "He's right on schedule. He's slowed the game down considerably since he got called up last September. He's got all the talent in the world and he wants to do something with it."
Injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said he's making steady progress as he recovers from surgery to repair chronic pain in his groin. Tulo, out of action since May 30, is still six weeks from returning. ... The all-star break worked wonders for infielder Chris Nelson's tender right ankle. "It's perfect, I'm ready to go," Nelson said. Nelson twisted the ankle making a play against the Rangers on June 23. Hobbled by the injury, his career-best seven-game hit streak ended two days later.

Swindon soldier tackles Black Mountains challenge
5:20pm Thursday 1st November 2012 in News By Scott D'Arcy
A soldier from Wroughton has taken on Nato's toughest patrolling test in the Black Mountains in Wales.
Private Dale Wallbank, 19, was one of eight team members with 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment taking on Exercise Cambrian Patrol, an annual event run by 160 (Wales) Brigade in the UK.
The challenge, a highlight in the British Army's training calendar, is internationally renowned as one of the toughest tests the modern soldier can face.
Some foreign entrants have to claim the right to take part by winning through their own domestic challenge.
Dale, a former Ridgeway School pupil who joined the Army last year, said he was prepared for a a full on challenge when he took on the test.
"We spent time in Brecon as preparation for the event, going through some of the scenarios we thought we were going to face," he said.
"You can't be too sure of what's coming because you just have to deal with it as it happens and that's part of the exercise. We had to react and just pick up as many points as we could.
"It was tough, especially having to go without sleep for 48 hours. The river crossing was also difficult because there's no doubt you'll be left wet and cold for a long time afterwards.
"The main thing was to keep our motivation up all the way through."
Regular and Territorial Army soldiers in the British Army were joined by international teams of troops from around the world, as this year's exercise saw teams from Estonia, Switzerland and Finland take part for the first time Teams are subjected to a thorough check to ensure they are in possession of the correct kit, equipment and clothing required for the exercise.
This is before patrol commanders are given a set of orders for onward briefing to members of their patrol.
Patrols are then taken to a number of drop-off points in the hills eight miles north east of Llandrindod Wells, at the tip of Radnor Forest, in mid Wales.
Split into seven phases, the teams then have to march a mind-and-muscle sapping 55km carrying full personal kit and equipment, weighing 60lbs, on a two-day patrolling mission.
Navigating both by day and night, the patrols face many testing and specialist challenges, including observation and reconnaissance of enemy forces, cold river crossings in full kit without access to boats, first-aid and defensive shooting under attack.
Military skills, stamina and dedication are constantly evaluated during the patrol and marked with a system of points.
Teams are awarded a gold, silver or bronze medal or certificate of merit, depending on the points they gain

"I get to help rebuild lives through teaching, mentoring and being a friend to those who are incarcerated."
Chairman, St. Joseph Catholic Church - Social Concerns
Q: How did you first get involved with this organization and begin volunteering?
I was first introduced to volunteering at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in 2003, when Sister Connie Parcasio, along with members from our diocese, came to visit our parish. They came to talk about the benefits of serving the incarcerated. Their convincing stories, and examples of administering goodwill, compelled me to help rebuild lives through teaching, mentoring and being a friend to those who are incarcerated.
Q: Why did you choose to be a part of this particular organization?
My parents chose me-- from birth-- to be a member of St. Joseph. Although I have always lived in Alexandria, St. Joseph has always been my church home (organization of preference.)
Q: How long have you been volunteering?
I started volunteering in 1971 in Boston, MA with the Big Brother organization.
Q: How many hours per week or month do you volunteer?
I spend approximately six hours a week volunteering:
Q: What do your volunteer duties involve?
Alexandria Detention Center – Computer Training

« Someone Else's Voice | Main | Defining the Journey »
August 05, 2008
Demographically Impaired
I didn't know. I didn't ask, either.
In some cases, I didn't know enough to ask.
In some cases, I knew enough to ask but wasn't really concerned about the answer.
This isn't a complaint; just self-observation.
Questions I asked; Answers I received:
Where are we staying? Community UMC, Fond du Lac, WI
How many people are on this team? 12
What will we be doing? Flood recovery, mucking, mold remediation
Questions that did not occur to me to ask:
Where will we sleep? In the sanctuary of Community UMC. (In GOD's aisles?)
Where will we shower? Public Pool showers, bathing suit required (Didn't know to bring one.)
What are the demographics of this group of people? 6 adults, 6 youth (50% youth!)
What will others be doing? (I imagined a team this small would all be working at one site.)
Because I know myself, I am aware that had I known the exact demographics of this group, I may have been tempted to decline the invitation. Boy, would I have missed out. 4 thirteen year olds, 1 sixteen year old and 1 ten year old just blew me away with their deep faith and dedication.
Before I embarked on this mission, I wrote a pre-ramble. "I have fewer expectations. That is to say, I'm not projecting: I'm accepting that this time will be different, and looking forward to experiencing those differences."
So, even though I'm tempted to add a few things to my list of queries for the next go-round, I might not do that. It goes against my nature to not question, but then at this point my journey, it is my very nature that I am attempting to modify. I think I'll just leave myself a little more open to the GOD force, and see where it moves me.

Feds probe 3 Chrysler models for engine stalling: Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum
Agency: 54 complaints received from owners

Posted: 05/14/2013
Last Updated:
209 days ago
DETROIT - U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating complaints that the engines in three Chrysler models can stall without warning.
The probe covers more than 192,000 Chrysler 300C luxury cars, Dodge Charger muscle cars and Dodge Magnum wagons from the 2006 model year. The cars have 5.7-liter or 6.1-liter V-8 engines.
The agency says it has 54 complaints from owners that engines stalled while the cars were being driven. In all cases the stalling happened after the cars were refueled. Forty-eight of the owners said they had several stalling incidents, and seven said they had trouble restarting the cars.
The agency says the number of complaints has increased, with half coming in the last eight months.
Investigators will check how often the problem happens and determine if a recall is needed.

Selected list of courses ATS 554 Forecasting Mesoscale Processes - 3 hrs. Detection and forecasting of atmospheric mesoscale phenomena, including the structure and evolution of clouds, precipitation (including floods), thunderstorms and severe weather. Includes basics on instruments used to detect mesoscale phenomena, most notably satellite and radar. Based mainly on computerized modules and related exercises. Prerequisite: ATS 551. Spring
ATS 690 Polarimetric Radar in Meteorology - 3 hours. The student will gain a basic understanding of: a) polarized radar system hardware; b) physical interpretation and application of multi-parameter radar variables; and c) radar operating considerations. Emphasis will be placed on hydrometeorological applications; specifically, precipitation measurement and hydrometeor identification in distributed weather targets. Student use of the UAH ARMOR and MAX dual-polarimetric radars will be incorporated into the learning experience in order to provide an important framework from within which to apply the principles learned in this course. Radar Meteorology is currently experiencing a shift in radar-based precipitation measurement paradigms. This shift can be defined as a transition from use of conventional power-based measures of precipitation rate and coverage, to more accurate multi-parameter measurements of not only precipitation rate, but bulk measures of hydrometeor/scatterer type, phase, and size.

Makatron 'Cycles' @ House Of Bricks
On a stankin' hot Melbourne Thursday, Mike Makatron opened his latest exhibition, 'Cycles', to a number of melting Melbourne street art punters. After a fantastic show at No Vacancy last year, anticipation was up there with the mercury and he certainly didn't disappoint.
This year has seen a visual onslaught in galleries by the very popular Collingwood based Everfresh crew, Rone, Meggs, Phibs and Reka [not once, but twice] have each had a show in their homebase. And while they have spent a bit of time across the shore, Makatron has been on somewhat of a solo mission to South America and a stint in South Africa for 2012. While he is a great painter from the get go, it seems the travel bug has improved his work even more as time has gone on, with nature being his focal point. Part animal, part landscape, part angry science the work on display at this show was really something to be seen. I'm repeating myself here and it's a bit useless now but, seeing a show like this in person is the real deal, there is just so much to be seen, the artist is almost challenging you to find more within his work.
The pieces are rich in both colour and life, while some do lack a pallet, they are given enough character and emotion to suggest that they portraits of beings Makatron has found in his travels. Of all the shows I've been this year, I find these the hardest to describe and name, to me they're distant lands and creatures found in a cosmos far far away, yet they are grounded with enough characteristics to make them of this world too. Makatron has made the unfamiliar, beautiful, leaving each piece with enough depth for a lot of wander and wonder.
Unfortunately this show has closed and done for the year, contact either Makatron or House of Bricks if you have any questions about the work on display. Tip top show!

Example 1
A microwave oven works based on microwaves that have a wavelength between 30 cm and 10–3 m. Find the range of frequencies if the speed is 3 · 108 m/s.
Solution 1
We need the frequencies, so the previous definition of speed will be needed, and then we can solve for frequency in two cases:
λl 30cm = 3 · 10–l m
λ2 10–3 m
v = 3 · 108 m/s
f1 = ?
f2 = ?
v = f · λ
f =
f1 = = = 1 · 109 Hz
f2 = = = 3 · 1011 Hz
So, the range of frequencies is between 109 and 3 · 1011Hz.
Mechanical waves in the examples before need a medium in which to propagate: for example, water, string, a spring, and so on. The speed of propagation though is different according to the intrinsic properties of the material. The same interaction, or force, can produce different frequency waves depending on the characteristics of the string. An expression of the speed in a string shows speed to be:
v =
In this expression, T is the tension created in the material through interaction, and m/ L is called linear density and refers to the mass per unit of length.
Example 2
Consider a string acted upon by a tension of 152 N and having a length of 52 cm and a mass of 134 g. Find the speed of the wave propagating through the cord.
Solution 2
First, look for known data and SI units. Then, set your equation for wave propagation and solve for the unknown.
L = 52 m = 0.52 m
m = 134 g = 0.134 kg
v = ?
v = =
v = √590 s2/m2
v = 24 m/s
Sound Waves
One special type of wave that can be created mechanically and propagates through matter is called sound. Although the frequency range for sound is rather large, human beings can hear sounds only between about 12 and 20 Hz and between 14 and 20 KHz. Below the 20 Hz extreme, frequencies are called infrasonic, whereas above 20 KHz, they are called ultrasonic.
We hear sounds not only with different frequencies but also with different intensities. The loudness of the sound is given (measured) by the amplitude of the wave. And the amplitude of the wave is given (measured) by the pressure change with the wave.
As mentioned previously, in order for sound to propagate, a medium is needed—be it a gas, a liquid, or a solid. Sound will not propagate in a vacuum. The reason for this is that sound waves propagate by creating regions of compression (or condensation) and rarefaction in the medium where the sounds acts. Once propagation has started, the change of pressure due to the sound waves has a pattern similar to the other waves we studied previously (see Figure 17.7).
As with the case of waves in strings, the speed of sound is affected by the intrinsic properties of the material. We will define three different speed expressions— one for gas, one for liquids, and one for solids.
When a disturbance is produced, particles collide with each other forming a region of high concentration in the direction of propagation (condensation or compression area) and leaving behind a region of low density (rarefaction). Hence, the disturbance and the wave are in the same direction, and we conclude that sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Experimental work shows that the speed of sound in gases (ideal gases) is:
v =
In this expression, the γ is the adiabatic factor and depends on the material, T is the temperature in Kelvin, m is the mass of a molecule of substance in the specific medium, and k is Boltzmann's constant and is equal to 1.38 · 10–23 J/K.

Science Carry Over??
A strategy I used to use in Civilization 3 was to lower my scientific output when I didn't need anymore science. An example of what I mean is: Say I am researching Horseback Riding. I have 1 turn left until I get the tech, but my research is set at 90%. If I lower the tech to 20%, it still remains at 1 turn left, but now I am making a large amount of money. This was considered a loophole in Civ 3, but I can't figure out if any research carries over to the next tech that you research. I say, why fund science if its just being wasted and not going anywhere?
Maybe this has been discussed in the past, but anyway, does anyone know if scientific research carries over from one tech to another when there is excess? Thanks |
Mar 15, 2006, 06:16 PM | #2 |
There is a carryover now, but there's a bug in how bonuses are carried over. Basically, for techs where you have few bonuses (few prerequisites and few other civs that already know the tech), you want as little carryover as possible. For techs with lots of bonuses, you want as much carryover as possible, so that you can carry over the bonus to a tech that shouldn't have the bonus.

This bug makes the "depth before breadth" research strategy a lot more appealing. If you're working on an expensive but incredibly useful tech like civil service, a strategy can be to go back and research a tech like fishing that most AIs have so that you come within just a few beakers of researching it. Next turn, increase research to 100%, and apply these augmented beakers to your civil service research. I haven't done any research on it, but it's likely that you won't lose a lot of time on getting civil service (you might even gain time), and you'll get a lot of "free" earlier techs. |

I've been mulling it over, looking at different scenarios for the Presidential election in 2012. It's a given that Barack Obama will seek re-election. If he doesn't, then we may see a slate of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi running together. One of the reasons that Republicans slam Nancy is because she is very organized; she hasn't lost one vote since she has been Speaker of the House. On the Republican side, I just don't see any males winning unanimous support. It depends on how well Mit Romney does once he comes out of the shadows. But Sarah Palin's support hasn't waned since she quit office to go out among the people and candidates, so I actually see her running on the Republican ticket. She won't try to declare herself an Independent and run, she would rather try to bring the tea party element into the Republican fold and then use them. So, Either Obama or Clinton running against Palin would be a dream match for a blogger like me...
I predicted that this Summer was going to be intense, and I see nothing developing to deter away from an Iran - Israeli flareup. After the UN sanctions passed, Russia said it would further delay in sending the bunch of S-300 missiles that Iran had bought and paid for. The US is rerouting and sending Navy ships to the Persian Gulf, while the Israelis have sent three nuclear submarines into the Arabian Gulf. Now, mysterious intelligence officials have leaked that the Saudis will allow Israeli jets to fly over their airspace if there is to be a strike on Iran: "The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way," a US defence source in the area was quoted as saying. "They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] state department."
Israel, which regards Iran as its principal threat, has refused to rule out using military action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The Times said Riyadh, which views Iran as a regional threat, had agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance in the event of any bombing raid on Iran. A source in Saudi Arabia was quoted by the newspaper as saying that the arrangement was common knowledge within defence circles in the kingdom. "We all know this. We will let them (the Israelis) through and see nothing," he said."
Haaretz asked a member of the Saudi Royal Family, who denied everything with a Mr Spock-like response: "Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf, speaking to the London-based Arab daily Al-Shark El-Awast, refuted that report, saying such a move "would be against the policy adopted and followed by the Kingdom."
According to Al-Shark El-Awast report, bin Nawaf reiterated the Saudi Arabia's rejection of any violation of its territories or airspace, adding that it would be "illogical to allow the Israeli occupying force, with whom Saudi Arabia has no relations whatsoever, to use its land and airspace."
Iran greeted the news by announcing they were going ahead with plans to build 10 nuclear enrichment plants, so go ahead baby, we'll put the green movement up on the front lines, chain them to our existing reactors, and invite you in for a regime change, babyyyyyy... After all, there isn't any internal strife here, and we may never hold another election, just like our Shiite brother state of Iraq.
going after the whiz kids...
There is something squirrelly going on at the Justice Department and White House. That weird shit goes on at the Pentagon is a given, but I was hoping that Eric Holder had big enough cojones to turn things around, a little more transparency and honesty towards the public. But, something changes our starry-eyed public servants once they've become exposed to secrets that affect our National Security. Guantanamo is still open, there are more prisons that hold people without charges than ever before, we are using more mercenaries in Afghanistan and Pakistan than ever before, and Barack Obama seems enamored with CIA covert operations, so much that he has come up with a friggin' assassination list. I wonder if Osama is actually on the thing, or did they pencil his name in at the last minute? All this talk about Bushites trampling our freedoms, and here the young Obamasans were drooling and straining at the leash...
Instead of making it safer for people to turn in evidence of wrongdoing, we are now going after those who take leaks :-) and those who are leakers: "In 17 months in office, President Obama has already outdone every previous president in pursuing leak prosecutions. His administration has taken actions that might have provoked sharp political criticism for his predecessor, George W. Bush, who was often in public fights with the press."
Not only are they after people whom the Bush administration were after, but the Pentagon is in a manhunt to find the founder of the Wikileaks website: "Pentagon investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Australian-born founder of the secretive website Wikileaks for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security... The officials acknowledge that even if they found the website founder, Julian Assange, it is not clear what they could do to block publication of the cables on Wikileaks, which is nominally based on a server in Sweden and bills itself as a champion of whistleblowers. "We'd like to know where he is; we'd like his cooperation in this," one U.S. official said of Assange.
American officials said Pentagon investigators are convinced that Assange is in possession of at least some classified State Department cables leaked by a 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist, Bradley Manning of Potomac, Maryland, who is now in custody in Kuwait... The cables, which date back over several years, went out over interagency computer networks available to the Army and contained information related to American diplomatic and intelligence efforts in the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, the diplomat said."
Link to Wikileaks Organization, see what all the fuss is about...
The US officials don't want the cables released because there is information that criticizes other governments who are our allies, and it would piss them off to know what our people thought of them. All secrets that are labeled top secret, or for National Security, aren't really secrets; that's all bs made up to impress others who have the clearance to read them. They do contain embarrassing information that lists our intelligence failures and assessments of individuals as being idiots, and we don't want to hurt their vain, arrogant feelings because we still need them to cooperate with us. We also would look like fools who throw money away if our failures became public knowledge, much like paying $200 for a toilet seat - the company who sold it to you on a no-bid contract looks like a crook, and the people who OK'd buying the seat look like dumb bureaucrats or people looking for a kickback.
It's the same reasoning the Pentagon has a $59 billion black budget, all for projects you don't have a need to know about. The projects include a lot of really dumb ideas for planes, tanks, and weapons as well as missions like the one that is in Iran right now, illegally looking for Osama bin Laden. If we screw it up, we don't want you to know. If we are successful, we still don't want you to know, just those who hold the purse strings for next year. Then, they feel extra-special knowing those stories that they can't share with you because it would be a violation of National Security, and are more inclined to be generous when budget time comes around. Right, Diane Feinstein?
Anyway, time to put the comic books and action DVD's away and start acting like a rational adult, Mr Holder, or else you might be pointed at, as the one that is bringing Fascism to the White House. Then, I will have to listen to Glenn Beck say I-told-you-so for over a week, while dressed as a Nazi, one of his favorite costumes...
